check for context.final_scoring_step first and then do all the rest

[minor magnet]

N i managed to pull off the jump cards

they are genuinely insane

[red flower]

with the first effect or with the changed one

[minor magnet]

i implemented them completely differently

tbh i find how i did them to be quite clever

[formal parrot]

Hey N

[minor magnet]

Heaven!!!

[red flower]

hii

[minor magnet]

hi!!!!

[formal parrot]

Hey garbb !!!!

[minor magnet]

have you seen the jump cards

[formal parrot]

Jump cards

Do they bounce

I’ve seen the royal cards

[minor magnet]

i am so proud of these

[formal parrot]

I love the art

[minor magnet]

thank you! i'm more proud of the code really

they work and they allow for FLUSH FIVE STRAIGHT

[formal parrot]

You always cook

[formal parrot]

😭pick a side bro

[lofty sand]

smth like this?

        if self.debuff then return nil end
        if context.final_scoring_step then 
            for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) 
            do if  not SMODS.has_enhancement(v, “m_stone”) 
                then stone = false 
        
        return { balance = true }
        end
    end```

[minor magnet]

i'm gonna add Straight Four, Straight Five and FLUSH FIVE STRAIGHT tomorrow

yes FLUSH FIVE STRAIGHT is always uppercase

[formal parrot]

Flush five gay when

[lofty sand]

excuse me flush five straight?

[minor magnet]

soon

[formal parrot]

Bro’s serious

[minor magnet]

evil and twisted poker hand

[minor magnet]

^

[lofty sand]

devious poker hand

[formal parrot]

Poker hand i need to pull to pay my debt

[minor magnet]

flush five straight is balatro exodia

no wait

[novel drum]

is it possible to use a trance function in another mod to edit the colour scheme? trying to make a midnight-type mode for a custom stake and i want to see if i can set the palette when entering a run on that stake

[minor magnet]

more like

the infinity gauntlet

[red flower]

i mean there's missing logic there but yes

also you dont need to check for debuff because calculate already doesnt run on debuff AND self is not an object so it's never debuffed

[formal parrot]

Mods bring me his head

[minor magnet]

jump cards are truly the first thing i make where i can confidently say no one has made before

[red flower]

oh and calculate = function(self, card, context)

[formal parrot]

Anyways chat you have an amazing rest of your day i’m gonna head to sleep now

[red flower]

gn

[minor magnet]

ya me too

[formal parrot]

More jonklers pwease

[minor magnet]

gn chat!!

[formal parrot]

Gn pony

[next timber]

i probably should sleep too

[slender zenith]

me too goodnight chat

[next timber]

but this mod is driving me insane

[formal parrot]

Take a chill pill

[hybrid shadow]

do they have a default rank if they arent used in a straight

[slender zenith]

its an enhancement

[minor magnet]

^

they have their normal rank

[hybrid shadow]

ah

[minor magnet]

this is why they allow for Straight Four, Straight Five and FLUSH FIVE STRAIGHT

[next timber]

god i wish there was an easy way to check the origin of an event

[cunning barn]

i just had a mini heart attack thinking i accidentally completely deleted my jokestar runner work but then i ralized i just moved it to an obliquely-named folder to prevent it from showing up in the mod list until i was ready to work on the darn thing again
so at some point i'm gonna try and rewrite my king of town joker code because i feel like i completely messed it up when trying to take code from hollow joker which works completely differently

[hybrid shadow]

i need to work on making an enhancement that turns cards blank

[flat sorrel]

it's a sign... gotta get it safe on github

[cunning barn]

yeah but it is not even REMOTELY ready for release yet and i'd have to update it incredibly oncstantly with how much i added

[flat sorrel]

you can just keep it private and only push it every so often, any backup is better than none

[red flower]

even if you dont want to upload it just having local git is really good

[lofty sand]

I don't think the return { balance = true } works for what I'm trying to do, or I'm missing something that I don't understand

[red flower]

what does it do compared to what you want to do

[lofty sand]

from what I can tell, it does nothing regardless of played hand, what I want it to do is balance when played hand contains only stone cards

[red flower]

can i see the code? if it does nothing the logic might be wrong

[lofty sand]

that's what I'm thinking

calculate function rn is at:

        if context.final_scoring_step then 
            for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) 
            do if  not SMODS.has_enhancement(v, “m_stone”) 
                then stone = false 
        
        return { balance = true }
        end
    end```

[red flower]

yeah that's missing a ton of logic like i said

that will balance when you dont play a stone card

[zealous glen]

Straight Pair when

[lofty sand]

what's missing the logic? the stone card part or the balancing part of it?

[red flower]

the stone card part, the balance is just the return

[flat sorrel]

if context.final_scoring_step then 
  for _, card in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
    if not SMODS.has_enhancement(card, “m_stone”) then return end
  end
  return { balance = true }
end

[lofty sand]

oh oops I forgot to save it again, that was an outdated one

[flat sorrel]

also if the return doesn't work you just need to manually copy what the plasma deck does in back.lua

[lofty sand]

that's what I did originally and it kinda worked, but N told me about the return { balance = true } thing

[red flower]

let me know if it still doesn't work and i will test it myself in a bit

it might be an smods bug/restriction

[lofty sand]

I'll give it a try using both here in a sec

[wheat pulsar]

hi, how can i make a custom message?, like the message = localize('k_gold')
but i want to do one with the lucky cards

[inner hazel]

I'm having some problems with installing cryptid and entropy. Cryptid says I dont have talisman when i do and entropy says i dont have cryptid. im installing from balatro mod manager btw.

[red flower]

add it to misc.dictionary in a localization file

[wheat pulsar]

like this?

[torpid plume]

i'm having an issue where the game is saying my lua file is calling on a nil value, but i don't see anything wrong with it. would anyone be willing to take a look at my code and see what the issue might be?

[next timber]

im going insane

for some reason

when i have no cards in my hand

my event queue gets filled up with what seems to be calls of ease_value??

at least, the event that's generated during ease_value

[rugged helm]

                    if
            (context.joker_main and context.scoring_name == card.ability.extra.type and context.scoring_hand[1].base.suit == "Hearts" and context.scoring_hand[2].base.suit == "Hearts")
            or context.forcetrigger
        then
            return {
                message = localize({
                    type = "variable",
                    key = "a_powmult",
                    vars = { number_format(card.ability.extra.mult) },
                }),
                colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION,
                Emult_mod = lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.mult),
                                card = card,
            }
        end
   end,```

[red flower]

ye

[sonic cedar]

cant find where cc is created? which file is it

[rugged helm]

any idea why this exponent isn't applying?

should be a ^2 mult if played hand is a royal flush of hearts

[red flower]

maybe smods/util or something

[next timber]

i genuinely cannot find a call of ease_value that would maybe cause this

[hybrid shadow]

how would i write out the name and description of a rarity in a localization file

[sonic cedar]

ok so where would consumable stuff be categorized here

[lofty sand]

would first checking for not context or final_scoring step be an issue? if I don't and I obtain a tower card, the game hard crashes

            if not context or not context.final_scoring_step then
                return nil
            end
            if context.final_scoring_step then 
            for _, card in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
            if not SMODS.has_enhancement(card, “m_stone”) then
                return { balance = true }
            end
            end
            end
        end```

just tried this, balance does not work. going to try it out with the plasma code

[next timber]

the game seems eternally locked into the drawing hand state until it gets a card

that makes sense

but also sucks for me

[red flower]

it shouldn't no

[flat sorrel]

maybe you could fake it a bit, add a "UI element" that displays like "out of cards!" that's secretly actually a card

[red flower]

hook it and use context.using_consumeable like you would in a joker

[sonic cedar]

oh literally ok

[hybrid shadow]

so i cant put in a description for a rarity like for enhancements

[sonic cedar]

rarities dont have descriptions

[rugged helm]

[next timber]

in time G.hand will be useless and can be fazed out entirely

until then i kinda just gotta

deal with the issues it causes

[red flower]

this works perfectly for me

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.final_scoring_step then
        for _, pcard in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
            if not SMODS.has_enhancement(pcard, "m_stone") then
                return
            end
        end
        return { balance = true }
    end
end,

[shut crater]

Does the message show up?

[rugged helm]

nope

[next timber]

OKAYYYY TURNS OUT THIS WASNT IT

CAUSE I PATCHED IT. AND ITS STILL HAPPENING

or wait did the patch not go through

[lofty sand]

I get "attempt to index local 'context' (a nil value)" whenever I pick up a tower card

hard crash

[red flower]

that seems like a different problem

can i see your entire code

[patent reef]

does modding work on the gamepass version yet?

[lofty sand]

sure, just a sec

[red flower]

not yet

[nova eagle]

i think im gonna need some help with this first joker... how do i actually make it functional?

[patent reef]

damn

[red flower]

what's the problem

[nova eagle]

no problem... im just new to lua and have no clue what anything does

[next timber]

IT DID WORK!!!! I CAN FUCKIGN SLEEPPEP

[nova eagle]

i tried following a turorial, but it just didnt make sense

[lofty sand]

the joker that's broken is "dartboard"

[nova eagle]

i want to just start by giving the joker 5 mult

[lofty sand]

right there with ya brother

[red flower]

you are using really old smods syntax lol

[sonic cedar]

would this work

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/d0e99fb83af5765f200adf2ffeb01ea732e60e6b/src/jokers.lua#L15

[red flower]

yes

wait no

[sonic cedar]

wait actually?

DAMNIT

[lofty sand]

yeah it was some template syntax I found on youtube to try and learn what I was doing lol

probably dogshit, but oh well

[red flower]

the logic is correct but you need to check for context.consumeable.ability.mod_conv or something like that

[sonic cedar]

oh my god i got the logic right

[flat sorrel]

SMODS.Joker{
  key = "joker",
  
  name = "Joker",
  loc_txt = {
    name = "Joker",
    text = {
      "{C:mult}+#1#{} Mult",
    },
  },
  
  config = {
    extra = {
      mult = 5,
    }
  },
  
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return {vars = {card.ability.extra.mult}}
  end,
  
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main then
      return { mult = card.ability.extra.mult }
    end
  end,
}

[red flower]

i recommend trying to copy the syntax for one of the smods example mods or the one i just sent

[red flower]

you dont need cardarea with joker_main

[nova eagle]

what is all that loc_vars stuff?

[slender zenith]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples

[red flower]

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

[slender zenith]

read all the conments

helped me

[sonic cedar]

so more like

[red flower]

yes

[sonic cedar]

[lofty sand]

what should I do with the rest of the file? is there anything important in there that I should keep?

[flat sorrel]

When you have a #n# in your description, it replaces that string with the nth variable returned in loc_vars, so loc_vars allows you to dynamically change the description. It's good practice to do it with constants like this, too

[red flower]

or you can do context.consumeable.config.center.key == "c_devil" if you want the devil specifically and not every modded gold card tarot

[red flower]

other than the jokers and the atlas, no
but the atlas is defined differently now

[lofty sand]

how can I update it?

to fit the new way it's defined

[rugged helm]

nope

[sonic cedar]

🙏

[red flower]

look at the top here https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/main/src/jokers/01Dragonmaid.lua

(dont look at the rest it uses a lot of my mods exclusive stuff so it will confuse you)

[lofty sand]

what line am I looking to this shit is eldrich lmao

[red flower]

very top

[lofty sand]

just to line seven?

that little chunk?

[nova eagle]

now i have one more question

how do i make the card change its mult once ante 8 comes around?

[red flower]

ye im on phone so i didnt want to copy it :3

[nova eagle]

these are the conditions... i just have no clue how to make it follow that condition

[lofty sand]

all good, sweet

[lofty sand]

no way

a nubbys reference in my funny joker game?

[nova eagle]

nubbys number factory reference

(im making a mod out of all the custom joker ideas i see on reddit)

[lofty sand]

wacky, have fun with that

can you make the old void perk jake the snake build possible in balatro?

[nova eagle]

that could actually be interesting

question is would i make the void perk count negatives or no?

[lofty sand]

lmao well, does stencil?

[nova eagle]

although i guess jake wouldnt be too op in balatro

[nova eagle]

fair enough

[sonic cedar]

the logic wasnt correct 😔
utils crash at line 1700: attempt to index local ‘context’ (a nil value)

[red flower]

oh replace self with context in the return, it doesnt take self

[nova eagle]

once i get better at modding i might do some more nubbys jokers

[sonic cedar]

oh okay

[nova eagle]

for now though i want to keep it simple

[hybrid shadow]

does it matter whether you use ' or "

[nova eagle]

a dedicated nnf mod could be cool though

[red flower]

no

[sonic cedar]

thanks n

[surreal coral]

Trying to hook Card:use_consumable, and I'm not sure what I'm missing. Ankh is the only consumable that works now, the rest immediately crash the game. Anything obviously wrong?

local olduseconsumable = Card.use_consumeable
function Card:use_consumeable(area, copier)
    if self.ability.name == 'Ankh' then
      "code"
    else
      olduseconsumable(area, copier)
    end
end

[lofty sand]

should I be using the atlas for every new joker entry?

[rugged helm]

:3333 GOT IT

[nova eagle]

how do i make my joker change to 50 mult after ante 8?

[red flower]

no, it's better to use one for all jokers or at least one for each category of jokers

[lofty sand]

so I should leave that atlas up at the top like it's formatted in your lua file

[red flower]

i like putting it at the top but the order doesnt matter

[hybrid shadow]

random question, why does the first joker use the joy_ prefix for the atlas name but none others do?

[flat sorrel]

try

extra = {
  early_mult = 5,
  late_mult = 50
}
...
local ante = G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante or G.GAME.round_resets.ante
return { mult = card.ability.extra[ante >= 8 and "late_mult" or "early_mult"] }

[red flower]

that was the first joker i made and i thought i needed it
smods removes the prefix if you add it

[hybrid shadow]

ah

[willow plinth]

balatro mod but it praises lebanese food

[lofty sand]

how did you pull from the assets folder properly? I noticed you don't use the path param like it recommends in the smods documents

[red flower]

wdym

there's a path

[lofty sand]

but not for each joker, just in the atlas

how do I pull separate pngs from one file through the atlas?

[red flower]

you can't put the path for each joker

in that case I have this file with all the jokers
if i want the top left i do pos = {x=0,y=0}
if i want the 3rd purple one i do pos = {x=2,y=2}

[nova eagle]

theres probably something obvious im missing.. but i have no clue where to put the end statements here

[lofty sand]

is it difficult to add in jokers in the future with that kind of format?

[red flower]

I would recommend learning some lua basics then.
But it's for example at the end of if and for statements and function definitions

[flat sorrel]

those 2 lines should be inside the calculate function and behind a context check

[lofty sand]

my homie's currently in the process of pumping out cursed joker designs lol

[hybrid shadow]

youd just need to add more jokers, replace the pngs, and have the new jokers point to the new positions

[red flower]

there are programs that let you add to it easily, i dont add extra ones so i couldnt tell you

i think you can do it with asesprite using tilesets

or something

[hybrid shadow]

i waited until i had all the jokers i wanted in the png before starting to code lol

[lofty sand]

oh dope, I'll look into that

[red flower]

i mean if all fails you can do an atlas for each

[lofty sand]

true, I'm just not sure how many jokers my homie plans on making lol

[hybrid shadow]

i know cryptid has like 3 different atlases, each with a diff key to it

[red flower]

i have like 25

[flat sorrel]

you can just expand your atlas and all you have to change is the atlas definition, very extendable

[red flower]

but i also have 330 jokers

[hybrid shadow]

lemme count up mine because i should have a list somewhere of whats planned on being added

[flat sorrel]

actually you don't even need to update the atlas def because that just takes the tile size, you just add more jokers onto the edges and use the new coords

[surreal coral]

In case anyone else has this question you just gotta add self as the first argument in the return

local olduseconsumable = Card.use_consumeable
function Card:use_consumeable(area, copier)
    if self.ability.name == 'Ankh' then
      "code"
    else
      olduseconsumable(self, area, copier)
    end
end

[hybrid shadow]

my plans are
Jokers - 52
Tarots - 1
Spectrals - 1
Vouchers - 2
Enhancements - 1(?)
Decks - 4

[nova eagle]

so why is line 8 giving me trouble now?

[flat sorrel]

If there's an syntax issue there I can't see it, maybe something off-screen at the top? Couple other issues though: you don't need to do {C:black}, you can reset the color with just {}, like{C:color}colored text{}; and you aren't using loc_vars because you don't have any #n# vars in your description, it should be a calculate function instead

[nova eagle]

ohh

i didnt know about that

cool, that fixed the crash

[hardy viper]

crash was because you forgot to save btw

[nova eagle]

possible, but im pretty sure i did save

[nova eagle]

i had one bad experience with a game i was making a while back, and now i save every time i make an edit

huh

well damn

[hardy viper]

that dot means file was modified and hasnt been saved yet

[nova eagle]

good to know

so now buying the joker crashes the game....

[hardy viper]

i believe its "self, card, info_queue" as the function parameters

you have info_queue and card swapped

[flat sorrel]

no, it's info_queue in the middle

[hardy viper]

ah hm

wait why is it named calculate

ah i see

change parameters to "self, card, context"

[nova eagle]

nope, that caused a crash

[hardy viper]

can u send code

[nova eagle]

SMODS.Joker {
key = 'joker2',
loc_txt = {
name = 'Cheese House',
text = {
'{C:red}+5 {}Mult.',
'If current {C:attention}Ante {}is {C:attention}8,{}or',
'higher, {C:red}+50 {}Mult instead'
}
},
atlas = 'cheese house',
pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
blueprint_compat = true,
rarity = 1,
cost = 4,
config = {
extra = {
early_mult = 5,
late_mult = 50
}
},
calculate = function(self, card, context)
local ante = G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante or G.GAME.round_resets.ante
return { mult = card.ability.extra[ante >=8 and 'late_mult' or 'early_mult']}
end
}

uh

how do yall do the embed thing

[hardy viper]

```lua
<code>
```

[nova eagle]

?

[hardy viper]

thats how you embed the code in a code box, you put the code inside that kind of text

e.g.
```lua
while true do end
```

becomes

while true do end

[flat sorrel]

you need to put the code in the calculate function behind a context check
if context.joker_main then <those two lines> end

[nova eagle]

SMODS.Atlas {
    key = 'cheese house',
    path = 'cheese house.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'joker2',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Cheese House',
        text = {
            '{C:red}+5 {}Mult.',
            'If current {C:attention}Ante {}is {C:attention}8,{}or',
            'higher, {C:red}+50 {}Mult instead'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'cheese house',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 4,
    config = {
        extra = {
            early_mult = 5,
            late_mult = 50
        }
    },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local ante = G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante or G.GAME.round_resets.ante
        return { mult = card.ability.extra[ante >=8 and 'late_mult' or 'early_mult']}
    end
}

[flat sorrel]

idk if that will fix the crash, depends why it's crashing, but it is something you want

[deft carbon]

this is probably a dumb question, but is there a way to make an edition that uses an image file instead of a shader

[nova eagle]

so would i put it below the calculate function in that case?

is that what im understanding?

[flat sorrel]

calculate = function(yada)
  if context.joker_main then
    local ante = yada
    return yada
  end
end

[novel drum]

anyone know why my stake sticker is returning an error?

[nova eagle]

ok, so it is what i was thinking

[flat sorrel]

code?

[nova eagle]

but why 2 end statements?

[nova eagle]

oh,,, i found out why

[worldly frigate]

is there a way to insert a picture into a custom joker?

[flat sorrel]

sorry, no clue :(

[flat sorrel]

what do you mean by that?

[lofty sand]

for an atlas sprite sheet do you need both a 1x and 2x?

[nova eagle]

ok so the joker is half working again... but ante 8 is not giving 50 mult

it stays at 5

[worldly frigate]

i have 0 clue about programming or modding or anything lmao but i rly wanna create a custom mod for this game

[celest timber]

is there a way to change the text when hovered?

[worldly frigate]

and i been wondering if one can just put a picture on the joker while creating the joker

[willow plinth]

semantic nitpicking but obviously there is...you can literally change everything

[flat sorrel]

hm, I based the ante get off of how Hieroglyph/Petroglyph work, but you can try print debugging it to see if that's wrong
What that means is, you add a print(ante) line and check the lovely console to see what values it's set to at different points

[celest timber]

i mean, i think i found the code for it in the source code, but idk how would i change it from the mod

[flat sorrel]

I don't know what you mean by inserting a picture or putting a picture on, like an additional layer on top of the base image?

[willow plinth]

lovely patches?

[worldly frigate]

i mean do u make the art urself when u create jokers? or do u download pictures and put it as a layer

how does the process work

[celest timber]

how does that work?

[nova eagle]

so all i get from print ante is nil

[flat sorrel]

the game takes an image, usually an atlas (a sprite sheet), and that's the image it uses for the joker. you create an Atlas object with SMODS and tell it what dimensions each tile on the tilesheet has (the default Joker dims are 71x95), and then when creating a Joker you point it to the right coordinate, like { x = 0, y = 0 } for the top-left-most tile. reference another mod as a base if you're unsure
the images themselves can be anything

[worldly frigate]

Oh hell yeah

[nova eagle]

btw amary, you are absolutely goated... your help is amazing to have

[lofty sand]

does anyone know where I should put sprite sheet for my atlas?

does 1x and 2x even matter when you're using an atlas?

[flat sorrel]

afaik you need 1x and 2x but I haven't tested it, just copied what Extra Credit was doing

[red flower]

you do, it crashes if you have pixel smoothing on/off

[nova eagle]

so... what is the fix if the print ante function only gives my nil?

[flat sorrel]

I have assets/Nx/jokers.png and atlas path = "jokers.png"

[nova eagle]

i think thats why the change to 50 mult isnt happening, but how do i fix it?

[flat sorrel]

I'm not sure, it seems like it should work. double check, what code do you have?

[lofty sand]

how should I pull from two sprite sheets using atlas?

[flat sorrel]

you just register one atlas and it handles the 1x and 2x variants

[nova eagle]

    config = {
        extra = {
            early_mult = 5,
            late_mult = 50
        }
    },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        print (ante)
        if context.joker_main then
        local ante = G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante or G.GAME.round_resets.ante
        return { mult = card.ability.extra[ante >=8 and 'late_mult' or 'early_mult']}
    end
end
}

[lofty sand]

oh dope

[worldly frigate]

imma ask smth and i might sound rly stupid

how to open smods type shi type shi

[vocal citrus]

Is it okay if someone could help me out

[flat sorrel]

oh, it's nil because you're trying to print it before the variable is declared and given a value, the print needs to be after the line beginning local ante

[red flower]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[nova eagle]

ih

oh...

whoops

[red flower]

wdym

[vocal citrus]

So I tried to install the Balatro Mod Manager on the steam deck to play the Balatro Mod but I can't seem to get it to work is it okay if someone could send me a already install version of it through a Zip File

[worldly frigate]

i have 0 idea about modding or programming but i rly wanna get into those stuff and make a mod for balatro

[worldly frigate]

in case u wodnering why i sound clueless its because i am lmao

[red flower]

have you looked at this
#1349064230825103441 message

[flat sorrel]

modding is honestly a pretty good way to learn programming if it's in your nature to throw yourself at a problem and figure it out yourself, since you have a pre-built reference to meddle with

[worldly frigate]

I mean we will see how it goes lmao

[worldly frigate]

holon imma look into it

[vocal citrus]

I'm going to figure out how to do it on steam deck

[worldly frigate]

THIS IS SO FIRE

[worldly frigate]

ure goated fr

[worldly frigate]

and u too yall fr nice ash

[red flower]

❤️

[nova eagle]

good news... i think the issue was because i was using debug to set the ante to 8

ima do a quick cheese house run to see if naturally reaching 8 does the thing

[flat sorrel]

hm, I don't think it should matter since it's getting evaluated when the jokers are being calculated, so there's no event to miss by bypassing it, but maybe?

[lofty sand]

fr tho thank you guys, I've gone from a blubering idiot who thought I might know what I'm doing to a blubering idiot who knows I have no idea what I'm doing

y'all have been a huge help

[flat sorrel]

naw you've got it, just gotta reference what other mods are doing and you'll be alright. Extra Credit is a good reference

[slender zenith]

i came into this channel earlier not knowing any lua and came out with a mod you guys are goated

[nova eagle]

sweet! cheese house is now fully functional

[lofty sand]

(self deprecating humor, it's genuinely been really fun learning lua)

[flat sorrel]

hey, awesome! now you can take that as a base for making new jokers

[nova eagle]

indeed i can! thank you so much for your help! couldnt have done it without you

welp... off to reddit to find more jokers to make

[red flower]

i need to start working on my own mod again too..

[flat sorrel]

to the person who deleted their comment, if you add a new deck for debugging, you can set a bunch of options really easily, like ante_scaling = 0.5 in the config

[wind steppe]

does anyone know how to do randomness without a listed probablity? (not affected by Oops All Sixes, trying to generate a random number)

[marble flint]

simply call pseudorandom

OA6s only affects G.GAME.probabilities.normal which you have to explicitly test against

[keen tiger]

how can you reliably locate a ui element by it's ID

like, i cant do G.round_eval.UIRoot.children[0].config.object:get_UIE_by_ID('cash_out_button') for some reason and I can't figure out why

it worked before with blind buttons

[hasty mist]

how do you add hands and discards

[worldly frigate]

how the hell did he open smods

or whats the program is he using

[wind steppe]

what parameters does pseudorandom take? i can't find lua or steammodded documentation on it

[worldly frigate]

in the video

[keen tiger]

bump

[red flower]

haven't seen the video but probably vscode

[worldly frigate]

i see isee

[marble flint]

a string for the seed

[red flower]

pseudorandom(seed, min, max)

[brisk rose]

I've done everything I can think of, and still no real change on negative or any of the ones which aren't doing much of all. Some of those work a lot better if I don't render the dissolve shader first, but idk how to check for if it wants that, the method built in doesn't seem to work

[marble flint]

ease_hands_played and ease_discard

[hasty mist]

tyy

[sturdy monolith]

how can i make it so that the spectral card shader isn't drawn for a specific spectral card
wanna make it so that this one doesn't have the weird sheen

[keen tiger]

bump again

seriously nothing i do works

[hasty mist]

how do i check how many playing cards are played (not scored)

[sturdy monolith]

#context.full_hand

[worldly frigate]

so ehh how did he use the smods as a header

i assume its how he starts the program to make the mod

[red flower]

i recommend using the json instead but both are explained here
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[keen tiger]

bump again G.round_eval:get_UIE_by_ID('cash_out_button') returns nothing even when the cash out button is visibly present

[marble flint]

did something patch out that id?

[keen tiger]

nope

[marble flint]

also are you sure it's under that root?

[keen tiger]

afaik it should eventually with:

                UIBox{
                    definition = {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config={align = 'cm', colour = G.C.CLEAR}, nodes={
                        {n=G.UIT.R, config={id = 'cash_out_button', align = "cm", padding = 0.1, minw = 7, r = 0.15, colour = G.C.ORANGE, shadow = true, hover = true, one_press = true, button = 'cash_out', focus_args = {snap_to = true}}, nodes={
                            {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = localize('b_cash_out')..": ", scale = 1, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, shadow = true}},
                            {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = localize('$')..config.dollars, scale = 1.2*scale, colour = G.C.WHITE, shadow = true, juice = true}}
                    }},}},
                    config = {
                      align = 'tmi',
                      offset ={x=0,y=0.4},
                      major = G.round_eval}
                }

this is from add_round_eval_row

[marble flint]

does get_UIE_by_ID go through multiple UIBoxes or only one?

[keen tiger]

no clue

[marble flint]

that might be it

[brisk rose]

here's how it looks without rendering dissolve first

but then it ruins some like foil

[marble flint]

if you're just trying to interact with the button, it might be better to simply call G.FUNCS.cash_out with a faked node

[keen tiger]

all it does w/it is do e.config.button = nil

[worldly frigate]

ok i kinda get it now

[brisk rose]

any ideas?

[keen tiger]

seems like it prevents resursive valls

[marble flint]

that's supposed to prevent repeat interactions

[keen tiger]

ohhhhh

[marble flint]

that .button tells the node what to do on click

so if you G.FUNCS.cash_out { config = {} } it should work fine, then

[marble flint]

isn't there a field for if it replaces the dissolve shader?

or was that only on enhancements

[keen tiger]

ahhhh ok

[brisk rose]

card:should_draw_base_shader() doesn't seem to work

[lofty sand]

yo i'm in the process of rewrighting one of my joker's sphaghetti code, if the joker is supposed to gain 50 chips every time a card is destroyed, am I supposed to use both if context.destroyed_card and if context.remove_playing_cards? or is that redundant?

[marble flint]

maybe try checking p_edition.override_base_shader or p_edition.disable_base_shader on the edition center?

[torpid plume]

y'all- i need opinions on if she should be buffed or not. i am thinking of raising the 1.5 to 2, since this is like a more niche version of Canio

[marble flint]

maybe tack on a marble joker effect and lower the xmult gain? Otherwise this seems super hard to enable

[torpid plume]

yeah im having difficulty figuring out how to make her work well since like

the character she's based off of, her whole thing is destroying stone related things

so it wouldnt make a lot of sense for her to make them too

maybe i can make her rare and lower that 1.5 to 1

[red flower]

destroyed_card is never actually used, just remove_playing_card

(context.destroy_card on the other hand is used to actually destroy cards)

[lofty sand]

ah I see

my sphaghetti code is extra marinated then

[full verge]

hello, there is a great mod called first round joker made by LnxFCA. it lets you pick your first shop joker, but the joker always has a negative multiplier which is not possible in vanilla play, is there a way for me to remove this and add the normal, foil, multi and poly chances to this selected card?https://www.nexusmods.com/balatro/mods/105?tab=files

[lofty sand]

marinara'd?

[red flower]

i recommend checking my vanilla rewrite mod instead of the vanilla code :3

[lofty sand]

would I have to use it as a dependency?

[red flower]

no, i mean for checking the code it's not an API

[lofty sand]

o

pop a link :)

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua

[torpid plume]

i think i may do this

[worldly frigate]

whats the command on giving money for jokers like (give 10 at the end of the round)

[brisk rose]

where is the center that there would be on? I checked G.P_CENTERS[key] SMODS.centers[key] and G.jokers.cards[1].edition

there doesn't seem to be a center object with those parameters

[marble flint]

G.P_CENTERS.e_negative, e.g.

[red flower]

in calculate return { dollars = value }
anywhere else ease_dollars(value)

[worldly frigate]

thankkkssss

u a legend fr

[red flower]

oh i saw the edit
for that you need calc_dollar_bonus

[quartz ravine]

Awesome! You're really making a lot of fun jokers here! And there are so many fun opportunities. How about a Bacteria Enhancement? It's like a stone card. But it doubles in Chips every time it is played/ scored?

[brisk rose]

yeah, no luck, override_base_shader, disable_base_shader and ignore_base_shader don't seem to exist on anything

[lofty sand]

yo I'm trying to have the game multiply the number of removed playing cards multiplied by an amount of chips to be added to the card, does anyone know how I could do this? here's the code:

        if context.remove_playing_cards and not context.blueprint then
            for _, removed_card in ipairs(context.removed) do
                card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + (number of deleted cards) * card.ability.extra.chip_mod
                return { message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips', vars = { card.ability.extra.chips } } }```

also this syntax fucking rocks btw @red flower, it's so much easier to work with and digest

thanks again

[quartz ravine]

@red flower , I love the idea of Vanilla remade. A great way to explain how to do things via SMODs, and I think your syntax is very clean and easy to follow as well!

[lofty sand]

actually wait I could use context.removed or 0

[shut crater]

I do as well, @red flower I'd be happy to help out with other features besides jokers because I think it's a great resource

[wind steppe]

he's beautiful

[hybrid shadow]

ITS MARKET PLIERS

[sonic cedar]

what does he do,,,,

[gentle rain]

holy shit multiplier i loved your work in peggle dinners

[wind steppe]

plays five nights at freddy's (random amount of mult/xmult when scored)

[hybrid shadow]

"the first night is never usually that bad in any of the games so I'll play through-"

X0.5Mult jumpscare

[wind steppe]

it can only give positive mult rn but thats really funny im changing it

[hybrid shadow]

lol

[worldly frigate]

what dis mean

[wind steppe]

negative mult doesn't seem to work

[flat sorrel]

what does your atlas code look like?

[wind steppe]

shame

[wild escarp]

What should I be doing to give skip tags from jokers?

[worldly frigate]

i wouldnt call it my code lmao

but here

[hybrid shadow]

i think someone was trying to do it on their custom joker, there may also be some code from cryptid i can find that may help

[worldly frigate]

dont mind the whole tonka yeat stuff

ohhh

wait

i didnt give it value

nvm i think ik now

thx tho yall nice fr

[wind steppe]

nvm it does work

might not have seen the mult go down because markiplier was polychrome

[hybrid shadow]

oh

[hybrid shadow]

is mark a standalone thing or part of a larger mod

because id love to just mess around with the markiplier card

[wind steppe]

all of my stupidest balatro ideas in one mod

i can release him separately though

[hybrid shadow]

hell yeah

[wind steppe]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1371680861979803668 he is released

[worldly frigate]

im having a trouble loading the texture

isnt this the right format?

[hasty mist]

and not context.repetition prevents jokers from being retriggered right?

[worldly frigate]

oh nvm now it works?

[wild escarp]

Can someone help me with my code? I copied it from cola, and it seems to be doing nothing. Am I checking something wrong in the if?

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_TAGS.tag_ethereal
    return { vars = { localize { type = 'name_text', set = 'Tag', key = 'tag_ethereal' } } }
end,

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.play and #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
        local queens = 0
        local twos = 0
        for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
            if context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() == 2 then twos = twos + 1 end
            if context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() == 13 then queens = queens + 1 end
        end
        if twos > 0 and queens > 0 then
            return 
            {
                func = function()
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = (function()
                        add_tag(Tag('tag_ethereal'))
                        play_sound('generic1', 0.9 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.8)
                        play_sound('holo1', 1.2 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.4)
                        return true
                    end)
                }))
            end
        }
        end
    end
end

[marble flint]

two things:

queens are id 12

idk why you're checking consumeable_buffer for this

[wild escarp]

Uh, I think "I'm dumb" sufficiently explains it.

[celest timber]

how do i get the current deck?

[lofty sand]

if a joker doesn't have any values on it that can change, does it need a loc_vars?

[marble flint]

nope! it can be left off

[marble flint]

G.GAME.selected_back

[lofty sand]

awesome! I officially have no idea why my joker doesn't work lol

would you mind taking a peek?

[celest timber]

tysm

[marble flint]

sure

[lofty sand]

    key = "fool",
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 6,
    atlas = "cottage",
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
     loc_txt = {
        name = "dartboard",
        text = {
            "Balance {C:chips}Chips{} and {C:mult}Mult{}",
            "if played hand contains",
            "only {C:attention}Stone{} cards",
        },
    },
    config = {},

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.final_scoring_step then 
        for _, card in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
        if not SMODS.has_enhancement(card, “m_stone”) then return end
        end
        return { balance = true }
    end
end,```

the joker is supposed to only balance chips and mult if played hand contains only stone cards, regardless of how many cards played

[cunning barn]

ok im starting my KOT joker over let me send the code again

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'kot',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'King of Town',
        text = {
            "+#1# hand size for every King scored",
            "Gains X#2# mult per hand size above #3#",
            "{C:inactive}(Currently {X:mult,C:white} X#4# {C:inactive} Mult)"

        }
    },
    config = { h_size = 1, extra = { xmult_per = 0.1, thresh = 8, Xmult = 1 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.h_size, card.ability.extra.xmult_per, card.ability.extra.thresh, card.ability.extra.Xmult } }
    end,
    rarity = 4,
    atlas = 'hsr',
    pos = { x = 6, y = 0 },
    soul_pos = { x = 7, y = 0 },
    cost = 20,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
             if context.joker_main then
               Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
           
            if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main and G.hand.config.card_limit > card.ability.extra.thresh then
              return {
                message = localize{type='variable',key='a_xmult',vars={card.ability.extra.xmult_per * (card.ability.extra.thresh + G.hand.config.card_limit)}},
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.xmult_per * (card.ability.extra.thresh + G.hand.config.card_limit),
              Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
            }
        end
    end
end
}```

what it's supposed to do is gain x0.1 mult for every hand size above 8 and return it when triggered
none of the variables work properly and it returns x1.7 mult instead of x1.1 with 9 hand size

[marble flint]

does it work for dollars = 2 instead?

[lofty sand]

instead of balance = true?

[marble flint]

ye

[lofty sand]

lets give it a shot

[lofty sand]

nop

[wild escarp]

So, now my joker works a little too well, and gives a tag for every played queen or two, anyone know why?

        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual then
            local queens = 0
            local twos = 0
            for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
                if context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() == 2 then twos = twos + 1 end
                if context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() == 12 then queens = queens + 1 end
            end
            if twos > 0 and queens > 0 then
                return 
                {
                    func = function()
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = (function()
                            add_tag(Tag('tag_ethereal'))
                            play_sound('generic1', 0.9 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.8)
                            play_sound('holo1', 1.2 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.4)
                            return true
                        end)
                    }))
                    end
                }
            end
        end
    end

[marble flint]

context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual runs once for every playing card. Did you mean to use context.joker_main?

[wild escarp]

Yes, that's it, thanks.

[marble flint]

does it work if you remove the check for stone cards?

[lofty sand]

just calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.final_scoring_step then
return { dollars = 2 } ?

[marble flint]

ye

[lofty sand]

let's give it a whirl

[marble flint]

or balance = true

[cunning barn]

im seriously at a complete loss as to what to do here. i have no clue what i'm doing wrong and i think i just need to completely wipe the code and start from scratch

yeah im tearing it down. i got most of my code from hollow joker which is a WAY different use case

[timid star]

i finally now know how to load other lua files so i can finally split my one big lua file into multiple others

no more scrolling!!!

[lofty sand]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.final_scoring_step then 
        
        return { balance = true }
    end
end,```

does not work

[marble flint]

idk what to tell you then other than smods borked

[lofty sand]

epic :D

let's check for an update I guess

[worldly frigate]

OMG I DID IT

I ADDED A MOD

yooo thx thx fr fr

only one joker

took me way too long

thx yall

[lofty sand]

all I fucking had to do

these past six hours

was check the repository

I've been going insane

[marble flint]

:agony:

[cunning barn]

I FINALLY FIGURED OUT KOT. THE XMULT EFFECT IS FINISHED

it turns out that i was way overcomplicating it

now i need to add 2 things

• the xmult on the joker updating since right now it's just 1 and i can't figure out how to change it
• the "kings add +1 hand size" effect

im completely blanking on how to add the current total xmult as a hashtags variable. it surely can't just be calling the variable that stores it that seems like it'd give some kind of math error

[marble flint]

try it and see

[cunning barn]

oh i just forgot i got rid of a_xmult variable since i thought i iddnt need it I Think I Need It

ok hold on i think i need to do something like this but for when you gain hand size. is there a function call for that

as soon as i'm able to add to the localization the current xmult i think i've got it

[rugged helm]

how would i apply a shader to a soul sprite?

[cunning barn]

ok i SEEM to have it all under control but as soon as i add hand size, the current xmult becomes xnil again

here's the almost-final version of the joker for until i figure out the xmult display problem which is shaping up to be way more of a problem than it should

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'kot',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'King of Town',
        text = {
            "+#1# hand size for every King scored",
            "Gains X#2# mult per hand size above #3#",
            "{C:inactive}(Currently {X:mult,C:white} X#4# {C:inactive} Mult)"

        }
    },
    config = { h_size = 1, extra = { xmult_per = 0.1, thresh = 8, xmulttotal = 1 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.h_size, card.ability.extra.xmult_per, card.ability.extra.thresh, card.ability.extra.xmulttotal } }
    end,
    rarity = 4,
    atlas = 'hsr',
    pos = { x = 6, y = 0 },
    soul_pos = { x = 7, y = 0 },
    cost = 20,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
           
            if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main and G.hand.config.card_limit > card.ability.extra.thresh then
                card.ability.extra.xmulttotal = card.ability.extra.xmulttotal + card.ability.extra.xmult_per * (G.hand.config.card_limit - card.ability.extra.thresh)
              return {
              Xmult = 1 + card.ability.extra.xmult_per * (G.hand.config.card_limit - card.ability.extra.thresh)
            }
        end
end
}```

i don't understand why my variable updating returns nil when the Xmult works perfectly

yeah i cant find a single joker anywhere in my collection that updates on hand size set

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i ALMOST have it, i SWEAR i do, but now for some reason it works outside of hands drawn but when a hand is drawn it skyrockets up to x14.3 mult

i'm assuming it's because i'm using context.cardarea == G.jokers

keep in mind, xmult itself works just peachy. but no matter what i do, whenever ANY card is drawn ANYWHERE, the value updates

[hard mica]

Does anyone know why my smods related stuff say undefined even tho I got smods in my workspace and the Lua extension?

Not sure why it doesn't auto complete n stuff

[frigid blaze]

Is there any way to fix this?

[shut crater]

did you add the lovely/dump folder as well?

(not that that would fix the SMODS stuff being unrecognized)

[daring fern]

Talisman?

[frigid blaze]

Talisman is installed

[rugged helm]

for instance, how would i apply the Chip flame effect to the mask on this card?

[daring fern]

Do you have cartomancer?

[frigid blaze]

I don't even know what it is😀

[marble flint]

look into SMODS.DrawStep (which I can't help with)

[cunning barn]

how do i run code that enhances specifically face cards
i don't think there's code in base game that calls for enhancing a card to a specific edition when a card is scored but i could be wrong

[frigid blaze]

What's a cartomancer?

[cunning barn]

oh nvm it's set enhancement i think

no actually thats not it

[daring fern]

card:set_ability?

[cunning barn]

im trying to use set ability but what im trying to make throws an error

[daring fern]

Log?

[cunning barn]

hold on let me get the log

i can also post the code im trying to use int he meantime

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_face() and not context.blueprint then
    return{
    context.full_hand:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["m_wild"], nil, true)```

[lofty sand]

I figure it's a longshot, but there's no chance Xchips is a possability with smods is there?

[cunning barn]

crashlog

oh no wait im doing context.full_hand not card:

let me change that i think that'll fix it

[daring fern]

It already is?

[manic rune]

hsr???

[marble flint]

I don't even think you need talisman for xchips

[manic rune]

liike, honkai star rail??

[daring fern]

Return xchips = number

[cunning barn]

ok wait hol don

[lofty sand]

oh neat, from what I was seeing there was no way to call for it

[cunning barn]

i made it card:set_ability but then the joker itself becomes a wild card texture and the face cards aren't enhanced???

[frigid blaze]

If I'm wrong tell me
Check:
Number of hands
Hand size
And the size of the hand you're playing
Right?

[manic rune]

for some reason, i is correct everytime, but it keeps creating cards from index 1 to 15

weird

[cunning barn]

im assuming that the card itself is affected by card:set_ability but how do i affect the face cards?

[hybrid shadow]

yeah the wiki only says chips, mult, and xmult on one page but another page mentions xchips somewhere i think

[manic rune]

check for :is_face()

[lofty sand]

dope, didn't know that

[runic pecan]

Which one looks better with the background colour?

[manic rune]

no context, so hard to say honestly

[cunning barn]

i am checking for is_face()

here's the code again

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_face() and not context.blueprint then
    return{
    card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["m_wild"], nil, true)
    }
end```

[hybrid shadow]

i didnt know either at first lol

[manic rune]

dont return it

[cunning barn]

ohhhhh that must be it

[frigid blaze]

How to increase the size of the hand that will now play standard size 5

[cunning barn]

nope, does the same thing

i have no clue why it's just randomly decided that it wants to make the joker a blank wild card texture

[daring fern]

Your trying to enhance the joker.

[cunning barn]

i know i am but i don't know how to enhance the cards

[runic pecan]

Which case looks better?

[cunning barn]

is it context.other_card:set_ability?

[hybrid shadow]

random thought but does anyone know if thered be a way to make a system that works like seals but doesnt take up the same "enhancement type slot" (or however that would be worded)

[daring fern]

Yes.

[cunning barn]

well, no, because it can't pair set_ability with a context

so im back to square one

[runic pecan]

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

[cunning barn]

i've tried multiple times to do context.whatever:set_ability and it immediately crashes

so it has to be a non-context thing but i have no clue how to do it to scored cards

[shut crater]

remember kids, if you value your ears, make sure your events eventually return true, especially if they have a call to play_sound

[daring fern]

Does context.other_card exist?

[willow plinth]

stickers?

[hybrid shadow]

how would i use this

[cunning barn]

it does, but it crashes when i try to use context.other_card:set_ability, as i have said

[willow plinth]

a bit outdated but look at https://github.com/JustinBanzon/Bird-Jokers/tree/main

[lucid owl]

where are variables set upon the start of a run set?

[daring fern]

Code?

[lucid owl]

wait, nevermind

[cunning barn]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'cardgage',
    enhancement_gate = 'm_wild',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Senor Cardgage',
        text = {
            "Played Face cards become Wild",
            "Retrigger Wild cards twice"
        }
    },
    rarity = 2,
    atlas = 'hsr',
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    cost = 4,
      unlocked = true,
  discovered = true,
      loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_wild
      end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_face() and not context.blueprint then
    context.other_card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["m_wild"], nil, true)
end
if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
      if context.other_card.ability.name == "Wild Card" then
          return {
            message = localize('k_again_ex'),
            repetitions = 2,
            card = card
          }
        end
      end
end
}```

[daring fern]

You need to check for context.individual

[runic pecan]

What feature are you trying to accomplish that prompted you to ask for a method that can coexist with seal/enhancement?

[cunning barn]

so "context.individual:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["m_wild"], nil, true)?"

[daring fern]

No.

[marble flint]

remember kids, use a helper function so you never forget again

local function q(f)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(type(f) == 'function' and Event { func = function() return f() ~= false end } or f)
end

[cunning barn]

then where do i put it
im completely lost when it comes to lua

[hybrid shadow]

i mean, if i can make stickers that can be applied to playing cards (and not jokers) then i suppose so?

[daring fern]

Where your checking for face cards.

[cunning barn]

"and context.individual:is_face()?"

[daring fern]

Stickers work in playing cards.

[daring fern]

No.

[cunning barn]

you have to be a bit more explicit then

again, completely lost when it comes to lua

[runic pecan]

context.individual is a boolean that tells you if it's currently processing one-card-and-another or not, context.other_card is the scoring card that it's currently processing.

[daring fern]

and context.individual

[hybrid shadow]

is it possible to make a sticker that can only be applied to playing cards and not jokers

[hard mica]

To the workspace? No I didn't

[shut crater]

well stickers are not applied to anything by default, you need to manually add it for it to show up

[hard mica]

Should I add it?

[shut crater]

I would highly recommend

[hard mica]

Hopefully it would fix my problem

[cunning barn]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_face() and context.individual and not context.blueprint then
    context.other_card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["m_wild"], nil, true)```

???

[hard mica]

But thanks!

[daring fern]

Yes.

[cunning barn]

well, i saved it as that and then it crashed on play anyways

same crash log as previous

[runic pecan]

in should_apply, use if card and card.playing_card then

[cunning barn]

here's the log a second time in case there's something different but i doubt it

[runic pecan]

Here are two examples from the mod I'm working on:

[cunning barn]

the problem seems to come into it attempting to index some field for face cards but that was code that i borrowed from another working joker

[shut crater]

your checks are out of order, make sure context.individual comes before context.other_card:is_face()

[cunning barn]

oh ok

thank you, i would not have figured that out on my own

joker works as intended now

[shut crater]

context.other_card only exists if context.individual is true, but you're checking the other_card before you're checking context.individual, which means you're trying to access context.other_card in every context whether it's there or not

[frigid blaze]

How to play for example 8 cards instead of 5

[cunning barn]

i need to make a reminders doc to look back at

[hybrid shadow]

what does area==G.play do here

[marble flint]

easiest way is to wait for this pr to merge

[runic pecan]

It's to check if the card you're about to apply this sticker on is in G.play (i.e. in played hand).
And since only playing cards can be played (unless specifically modded), this sticker can only applied to playing cards.

[hybrid shadow]

so say the only contexts the sticker would be applied in is during tarot packs and before playing a hand, what would the area be

or is that all just G.play

[runic pecan]

both of those situation should be G.hand

[hybrid shadow]

so does this look alr then

[runic pecan]

G.play: played cards
G.hand: cards held in hand
G.deck: cards that haven't been drawn
G.discard: discarded cards and finished-scoring cards

[cunning barn]

i'm having issues with a joker that has x0.1 mult per hand size above 8, once again
the xmult itself triggers just fine but the (currently xmult) thing increases whenever a card is drawn to hand instead of only when hand size is increased. lemme post the code, the only thing i have a problem with is the xmult display

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'kot',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'King of Town',
        text = {
            "+#1# hand size for every King scored",
            "Gains X#2# mult per hand size above #3#",
            "{C:inactive}(Currently {X:mult,C:white} X#4# {C:inactive} Mult)"

        }
    },
    config = { h_size = 1, extra = { xmult_per = 0.1, thresh = 8, xmulttotal = 1 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.h_size, card.ability.extra.xmult_per, card.ability.extra.thresh, card.ability.extra.xmulttotal } }
    end,
    rarity = 4,
    atlas = 'hsr',
    pos = { x = 6, y = 0 },
    soul_pos = { x = 7, y = 0 },
    cost = 20,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)

        if G.hand.config.card_limit > card.ability.extra.thresh then
             card.ability.extra.xmulttotal = card.ability.extra.xmulttotal + card.ability.extra.xmult_per * (G.hand.config.card_limit - card.ability.extra.thresh)
        end
           
            if context.joker_main then
              return {
              Xmult = 1 + card.ability.extra.xmult_per * (G.hand.config.card_limit - card.ability.extra.thresh)
            }
        end
end
}```

[runic pecan]

You can always calculate it in loc_vars
there's plenty of space before return { vars = {...

[cunning barn]

not quiiiiite sure how to do that

[runic pecan]

It's easy! Just put local xmulttotal = 0 as the first line and start calculating from there!

[cunning barn]

like, under function self info queue card??

this stuff is making my head hurt im sorry

[manic rune]

is it possible to grab the key of a card without the mod and class prefix?

[runic pecan]

Let me fix my reply:
You can just replace card.ability.extra.xmulttotal in loc_vars with 1 + card.ability.extra.xmult_per * (G.hand.config.card_limit - card.ability.extra.thresh)

[cunning barn]

yeah im still kinda lost

like replace where? in return vars?

[cyan lagoon]

question how do i change the sprite of a joker when a condition is met?

[cunning barn]

ok i directly replaced "card.ability.extra.xmulttotal" in return {vars} and i got this crash evidently that aws not correct

[daring fern]

You remove everything before the underscores?

[daring fern]

The atlas or the pos or both?

[manic rune]

🤔 but what if the key itself has underscores in it

[cyan lagoon]

pos

[manic rune]

i could just make it so the key is cut in a certain position

but i wonder if theres a better solution than that

[marble flint]

why do you want to do that? this seems like an XY problem

[daring fern]

card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x, y})?

[cyan lagoon]

thanks

[manic rune]

so basically my mod uses these to determine which cards should be created in the inventory

now i have to figure out how to grab just the key (no mod prefix, no class prefix) of the card to get this

[cunning barn]

i have a massive headache trying to figure all this out. it's midnight. im feeling really crummy. i might just come back to this later

[daring fern]

card.config.center.mod.prefix?

[manic rune]

🤔

actually, i can work with that

thanks

[marble flint]

add the prefixes to the id there lest i make an object with the same name specifically to break your mod

[cunning barn]

i just keep getting the same crash

[manic rune]

its not an object 😭

the object's key itself is like, ygg_mat_ygg_card_scrap lol

[cunning barn]

im still puzzling over this i have no clue where i'd actually put it because it doesn't work when i put it in the loc vars brackets

[hybrid shadow]

can i have a sticker with the same initial key as a joker since the localization file calls for the full prefix anyway

[cyan lagoon]

aw dangit

[marble flint]

anyways, my point is that if you want to make ygg_mat_ygg_card_scrap match card_scrap you can modify either side of the equation and the right side is likely easier

[manic rune]

nice

[daring fern]

You need to set x and y to the pos you want.

[manic rune]

this works, thanks :p

[cyan lagoon]

i did?

[daring fern]

No I meant like x = number

[cyan lagoon]

so "2, 1" instead of 2, 1 ?

or "2", "1"

[hybrid shadow]

({x = 2, y = 1})

[cyan lagoon]

a

thanks

[frigid blaze]

Did Cryptid create this or smods?

G.hand.config.highlighted_limit

[manic rune]

thats built in, im pretty sure

[hybrid shadow]

is that the config that allows for +card selection limit

[cunning barn]

honestly i just give up on the variable thing. it's just not working. i'll come back tomorrow

[frigid blaze]

I mean it works without cryptid and will allow to take for example not 5 cards but 10, right?

[hybrid shadow]

idk

[frigid blaze]

Standard can play 5 cards, how to increase this value ?

[daring fern]

Yes, but it wont let you play it.

[cloud crag]

if i mod my balatro will it ruin my steam achievments

[frigid blaze]

How do you make it playable?

[daring fern]

You need to make a lovely patch.

[celest timber]

how do i get the current score the player has?

[cloud crag]

will modding my balatro allow me not to get achievments even when i remove the mods

[daring fern]

Current score of the blind or current chips or current mult?

[daring fern]

You need to enable them in steamodded settings.

[celest timber]

i got it already, i wanted G.GAME.chips

the chips the player already has

i wanted to get the amounf of chips left to win

[daring fern]

How difficult would it be to have a UI that shows up with the jokers that a joker is replicating and changes their values to match?

Would I just set card.ability to what is saved?

Also is there a way I could make it not lag?

[tired kestrel]

How can animation triggers be played?

(curious)

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[glass scaffold]

How can I add exponential mult to a Joker?

[daring fern]

Install talisman then return emult = number

[glass scaffold]

Just like x_mult? or is there some special stuff since it's through Talisman

[daring fern]

Yes there is emult, e_mult and Emult_mod

[glass scaffold]

oh

[tired kestrel]

I mean when the joker is triggered and as it copies another joker, the other joker's animation is triggered.

not sure if that is something ni balatro had but I just randomly thought of this.

[daring fern]

So you want it to copy the joker but you want the animation to play on the copied joker?

[spare bison]

do you have a guide for holotro installation? I'm not too familiar with how to apply it

It looks awesome, very fleshed out

[daring heron]

Just open the balatro mod loader and get holotro iirc

[runic pecan]

Yeah, I submitted both MTB and Holotro to Balatro Mod Manager myself.

[daring fern]

How does one move a card area mid-game?

[tired kestrel]

yeah.

[shut crater]

You can directly move it's T

[spare bison]

I can't find it on v0.2.6, is there a dependency I'm missing?

[tired kestrel]

I already had the copy code already implemented (thanks to ErictheToon) but right now I'M wondering if it's possible to like give the card to trigger an animation of another card.

[shut crater]

You can make any card do the wiggle animation by calling :juice_up() on it

[runic pecan]

Jut curious, do you have prior experience of installing mods for Balatro?

[spare bison]

a little bit, I installed steamodded a while ago for balatro multiplayer but that was before the mod manager

[tired kestrel]

huh. so how I can implament this?

[timid star]

does anyone know how animated colors like dark_edition and edition update their color in ui properly?

[slender zenith]

just call scored_card:juice_up() somewhere

[daring fern]

Maybe?:

[runic pecan]

Here's the mod link: https://github.com/RivFalcon/Holotro
just in case if searching "Holotro" instead of "holotro" in BalatroModManager doesn't help, and you want to install it manually.

[timid star]

im already doing that actually, that's why the color is changing when i keep hovering over it

[spare bison]

I saw the link, would I just drop the whole directory into the mods folder in appdata?

[runic pecan]

I assume yes, if you mean the mod file.

[tired kestrel]

got it.

I think now I just need to figure out how I can have the animation play at the same time as the main joker card does. but yeah.

[cloud crag]

where do i enable achievements in steammodded

where do i get to steammodded settings

[cloud crag]

do i need the mod manager for that

my screen doesnt look like that

[daring fern]

Press the Mods button?

[cloud crag]

am i dumb or what

[daring fern]

You steamodded is ANCIENT.

[cloud crag]

can you find me a link to a newer one im trying to find one atm

[tired kestrel]

Or otherwise I can display one of those notifications: "Copied"

[daring fern]

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

[cloud crag]

so i shouldnt be using r2modman

[tired kestrel]

is there a way to display one of those notifications when triggered?

[daring fern]

No, not for downloading mods.

[cloud crag]

k thanks

[tired kestrel]

How do I make a message pop up that the card is copied?

[daring fern]

When?

[tired kestrel]

Or triggered?

[timid star]

what the fuck it works like THIS??

[daring fern]

Yes.

[tired kestrel]

I was thinking like this:

[timid star]

why

why do i have to, individually set each element??

[daring fern]

SMODS.calculate_effect({message = ""}, card)

[tired kestrel]

or maybe wehn it's triggered

[tired kestrel]

I tried to put it after the juice_up and this happened.

wait

[daring fern]

Code?

[tired kestrel]

alright. one moment

[daring fern]

You should be using SMODS.blueprint_effect

[timid star]

switched it out for a separate table that will hold other animated colors if i need to but why does it work like that

[tired kestrel]

ok. I'll try that

[timid star]

this looks wrong

[tired kestrel]

it worked until this:

[daring fern]

How does one turn a localization name into a key?

[daring fern]

Code?

[tired kestrel]

can2t show whole code again but. I'll show the updated:

SMODS.blueprint_effect({message = 'Copied!'}, random_joker)

[daring fern]

Why not?

[tired kestrel]

I don't know

[daring fern]

Also I meant use SMODS.blueprint_effect for the blueprint effect, not the message?

[tired kestrel]

okay hold on

I was paranoid

But if it's fine to share then yeah

-- Process the random joker, if it exists
        if random_joker and random_joker ~= self then
            context.blueprint = (context.blueprint and (context.blueprint + 1)) or 1
            context.blueprint_card = context.blueprint_card or card

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

            local random_result, random_trig = random_joker:calculate_joker(context)
            if random_result or random_trig then
                if not random_result then
                    random_result = {}
                end
                
                random_result.card = context.blueprint_card or card
                random_result.colour = G.C.GREEN
                random_result.no_callback = true
                table.insert(results, random_result)
                random_joker:juice_up()
                SMODS.blueprint_effect({message = 'Copied!'}, random_joker)
            end
        end

I was just paranoid if anyone steals the code but then I realize.

it's best maybe it can help someone who wants to try to do something similar

sorry for the confusion.

[tired kestrel]

but here is the code again.

[daring fern]

Yes, but this is just a blueprint? People have done this many times before, also everybody steals code, and its fine.

[tired kestrel]

well sorta but also I want to make it that it makes the copied joker to play a trigger animation and also a pop up that says: "copied"

[daring fern]

Replace everything except juice_up and the message with SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, random_joker, context)

[cloud crag]

@daring fern i got it downloaded and im playing thanks, but should i have achievments on enabled or bypass restrictions, what does the bypass one mean

[daring fern]

Bypass restrictions I think, lets you unlock achievements on seeded runs?

[tired kestrel]

I forogt to put something that makes sense but I was thinking this.

I jsut forgot to put the "copycat" o nthe orignal card

[daring fern]

So you want the joker to copy another joker but you want the copied joker to say "Copied!"?

[tired kestrel]

did work but I don't have the joker just play the animation and have the message says: "Copied!"

[tired kestrel]

true or the otherway around

[cloud crag]

do you know if it matters if i start a run and leave and turn it on will it change

[daring fern]

So you would also be fine with the copied joker copying the copier of itself?

[tired kestrel]

here's the code I have so far.

[daring fern]

No, I said replace everything there with the blueprint effect.

[tired kestrel]

Actually I thought of like how blueprint works except I don'tk now if this is ever done but I was thinking of like having the trigger being played the targeted joker to be coppied play the aniamtion or maybe message too

[tired kestrel]

oh. so like, replace what I had to that?

[daring fern]

--- get random joker
local effect = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, random_joker, context)
if effect then effect.colour = G.C.GREEN end
return effect

[wintry solar]

If you want to change the colour you’ll need to save the result of blueprint effect, modify it, then return it

[timid zinc]

is there a way to manipulate pool flags to make all of one type e.g. no jokers except default can appear unless specified

yes i know i could add a yes pool flag to every joker but that seems

unneccessary

[tired kestrel]

ah. Well I see where you're coming from.

[heavy hare]

is there a reason a joker that would fire before or after scoring would just stop working in the middle of a run?
i've messed with a mod that simply displays animated sprites of the upcoming Blinds and moves around UI and i keep encountering jokers breaking even after they've activated at an earlier point in the run.

Ice Cream not losing chips, Trading Card not doing anything, Vampire not scaling, Obelisk not reseting/scaling. not seeing any errors. i've tried to add delayed events for the Sprites appearing/disappearing and removing events and just running them in sync, but random Jokers keep breaking

the mod's called Condensed_UI if anyone would be inclined to look at it, i want to make more mods like it but this is holding me back

[glass scaffold]

Can some explain how to have this code summon a certain rarity from a certain mod?

(Code yanked from Yahimod)

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({rarity = "modprefix_rarity", set == "Joker"})

[glass scaffold]

So just have that instead of all the lines (321 - 324)?

[wintry solar]

What smods version are you on?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[glass scaffold]

Thanks

[heavy hare]

looks like 1.0.0

manifest:

[glass scaffold]

And is there a way to destroy certain Jokers too?

[wintry solar]

No look at the top right of your menu screen

[heavy hare]

my mod only has a single SMODS call as well

[daring fern]

You mean all jokers of a certain rarity or key or a specific joker?

[glass scaffold]

Just specific ones.

[daring fern]

card:start_dissolve()

[wintry solar]

you need to update smods then

[tired kestrel]

Right now I'm in testing mode but of course, I tried to mess around a little bit more and I got this effect:

(also I did this for the fun of it laso testing to see how it works)

[tired kestrel]

It did work also I know I have modified the code a little more but yeah...

also how do you see a debug message?

wait.

[daring fern]

print("debug")

[tired kestrel]

ACtualy I've been wondering is it possible to trigger the calculate two times?

or at the same time?

[daring fern]

You mean it would copy the joker twice?

[tired kestrel]

I meant like 1st the copied "message" which actually grabs the targeted joker then the main copycat card acutally blueprints.

I don't know how else to like explain in detail but I was thinking like giving a message to the copied joker when the copycat joker is triggered and then after the copied message it then does the trigger with the copied joker

I'm sorry if my words are mixed up

but hopefully but explaining this does get an idea.

of what I meant

[wintry solar]

you can add that to where you return the retriggers

[tired kestrel]

right now the code is like this now:

[tired kestrel]

hm.

[wintry solar]

oh wait its not retriggers hold on

[tired kestrel]

I just realized one more thing I forgot to add

[wintry solar]

is that not what it does?

[tired kestrel]

I don't know cause I thought the idea of a card uppon trigger it sorta triggers the other card iving the "copied!" message

then the main card displays the copied joker result

that's what I thought.

that I don't think I see anyone does that.

[wintry solar]

you want the repeated triggers to have a green background?

[tired kestrel]

just something experimental.

[tired kestrel]

I didn't said anything about repeated triggers but yeah.

also

[tired kestrel]

see this video?

what it's supposed to do is that after the "copied" it supposed to trigger that card (on the middle)

[wintry solar]

if random_joker and random_joker ~= card then
  SMODS.calculate_effect({message = "Copied", colour = G.C.GREEN}, random_joker)
  return SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, random_joker, context)
end

[tired kestrel]

oh.

I'll try that and see.

[wintry solar]

the way you select a random joker is also way overworked

[tired kestrel]

hm...

[wintry solar]

and is it correct that you only want to copy effects that trigger on scored cards?

[tired kestrel]

I don't know how Balatro normally copy cards.

I mean I know blueprint one

[wintry solar]

it depends on what you want it to do

[tired kestrel]

but I don't know how if it's possible the card can just copy a random card and that cchosen card to play the trigger animation.

[wintry solar]

what's the effect supposed to be?

[tired kestrel]

I think what it supposed to do was on this order orignally in my head:

or how I imagined.

[wintry solar]

no, what does the text of the card say

[tired kestrel]

alternatively would be this:

[tired kestrel]

I know it's a rough drawing.

[tired kestrel]

ah.

So what's it supposed to do based on description?

[wintry solar]

yes

[tired kestrel]

cause the og description of that card is:

Copies the Effect of a Random Joker Per Hand

[wintry solar]

ok

so just one joker?

[tired kestrel]

yeah one joker but also tries to make the joker that was copied on to play the trigger animation.

that's also what I thought too

so yeah.

otherwise maybe have the message o nthe card that is copied.

then the result

I don't know how the order should work more better.

I don't know how to like get the concept properly based on the descritpion of this card I found

[wintry solar]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.press_play then
    if #G.jokers.cards > 1 then
      local copied = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, pseudoseed('random_joker'))
      while copied == card do
        copied = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, pseudoseed('random_joker_repoll'))
      end
      card.ability.extra.copied = copied
    else
      card.ability.extra.copied = nil
    end
  else
    if card.ability.extra.copied then
      local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, card.ability.extra.copied, context)
      if ret then
        SMODS.calculate_effect({message = 'Copied', colour = G.C.GREEN}, card.ability.extra.copied)
        return ret
      end
    end
  end
end

I'm 99% sure this is what you want

This will select a random joker to copy each hand and then it should copy it's effect, with a copied message on the copied card before the effect

[cloud crag]

which quality of life setting lets me hold on a card and drag instead of clicking every card one by one

[daring fern]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1270746376312979456

You have to click and drag on an empty space though.

[cloud crag]

@daring fern thanks dude youre the goat

[prime beacon]

Getting a lua error when attemting to load the game with this mod enabled

":51: unexpected symbol near '}'"

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_id() == 4 then
        G.GAME.dollar_buffer = (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0) + card.ability.extra.dollars
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                message = 'x' .. card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars,
                func = function() -- This is for timing purposes, it runs after the dollar manipulation 
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            G.GAME.dollar_buffer = 0
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
            } --51
        end
    end

The joker should +4 mult +4chips x4mult +$4 when a 4 is played.

The joker gains +4 chips, +4 mult and x4 mult when a 4 is played like this, but does not gain $4.

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_id() == 4 then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                message = 'x' .. card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars
            } --51
        end
    end
}

[daring fern]

You are missing an end on the function.

[wintry solar]

why use Xmult_mod instead of xmult?

[prime beacon]

Because that's what the tutorial video showed 🙂

Literally 0 background on this, I'm googling what I can but this is difficult to phrase in a google search

[valid dove]

different between xmult_mod and xmult is that xmult automatically returns a message for the mult value, while xmult_mod doesnt

since you're just returning the xmult value with message, you might as well use xmult, saves you some effort haha

[prime beacon]

I've tried to play with that, do you mean literally end or }

[daring fern]

end

[prime beacon]

cos if it's end, i can't figure out where it should be lol

[daring fern]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_id() == 4 then
    G.GAME.dollar_buffer = (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0) + card.ability.extra.dollars
        return {
            mult = card.ability.extra.mult, -- 39
            chips = card.ability.extra.chips, -- 40
            xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult, -- 41
            dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars, -- 42
            func = function() -- This was missing an end, 43
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ -- 44
                    func = function() -- 45
                        G.GAME.dollar_buffer = 0 -- 46
                        return true -- 47
                    end -- 48
                })) -- 49
            end --- here, 50
        } --51
    end -- 52
end -- 53

[valid dove]

the end should be before the } that's causing an error i think

[prime beacon]

Ah, thankyou, sorry to make you do my homework :p

What function was I not ending? I wasn't too sure how to account for that as easily as commas and brackets

Ahhh i see!

Thankyou i think i get it better now

is there like a karma/sticker thing? Like to rate someone as being helpful

[daring fern]

I don't think so.

[prime beacon]

darn

[tired kestrel]

Alright, I tried this somehow it did work one time but somehow it's not triggering the "copied"

eeven if I tried the 4 cards

unless I did something wrong

[maiden phoenix]

There's a context.press_play? Doesn't it cause issues with the Pillar?

[tired kestrel]

Now it did work!

I just had to redo once more and now

let me record it

[runic pecan]

Does SMODS wiki have a guide about unlock_condition and check_for_unlock?

[wintry solar]

it shouldn't do, I'm pretty sure all the blind contexts that were added are fine to use for any effect

[maiden phoenix]

I'll give it a try in a bit

[tired kestrel]

there it is.

Now it's actually what I'd thought for.

[wintry solar]

🧙‍♂️

[tired kestrel]

Now, I think there's another card that I want to try to recreate into balatro as new part of the experiment and the description is this:
"Copies the Effect of a Random Played Card Per Hand"

Of course this is different than the joker but rather it's about played cards.

[tired kestrel]

but then again thanks!

also is there a way to learn about how basic game codes work?

[wintry solar]

just read it a lot 🤣

[tired kestrel]

I tried but I couldn't figure out which is which.

like what is the varible for "playing cards" and among other things.

[faint yacht]

...can two "defined" atlases use one image?

[tired kestrel]

also how do you add multiple jokers?

into one single mod?

[daring fern]

You do the same thing you did the first time.

[tired kestrel]

arlgiht

also...

I tried to do sometihng with the playing card thing code and after adding it it gave me this rror when I try to add any other card

[daring fern]

Code?

[tired kestrel]

right now it's this.

[pale venture]

Is it possible to change a back's config values in the start run menu? I am trying to do something similiar to cryptid's edition/seal/enhancement/sticker decks and while i figured out the clicking on the deck part i'm struggling to understand how to get the back itself.

[tired kestrel]

I don't know if this is actually right way to do so but yeah.

[daring fern]

Is there a way to draw a sprite on something that makes things under it invisible?

[hard mica]

i did that and it still is undefined

[prime beacon]

Can't figure out why this won't repeat. I tried having repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions in the same function that adds mult/chips/etc., it does everything else but just not that. I've looked at Hack, Sock & Buskin and Hanging Chad, I don't see anything clear that they do that I don't except for have an unlock requirement

calculate = function(self, card, context)
                if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_id() == 4 then
            return {
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                }
        end
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_id() == 4 then
        G.GAME.dollar_buffer = (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0) + card.ability.extra.dollars
            return {
                dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                message = 'x' .. card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                func = function() -- This is for timing purposes, it runs after the dollar manipulation
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            G.GAME.dollar_buffer = 0
                            return 

[hard mica]

anyone know how to fix the undefined stuff in VC , i tried adding steammoded and lovely folder to my workspace but it aint working

[bold sleet]

help i still don't know how to work shit out

[red flower]

looks ok to me honestly, the repetitions should work

[red flower]

that's not how you format a UI table

the n= should go inside the {}

but also i dont remember if overlay_menu requires a root node

[bold sleet]

-# no fucking clue what I am doing sorry

[red flower]

it's ok UI is hard

[bold sleet]

what

How should I uh... format it so it doesn't implode?

[red flower]

{ n = G.UIT.T

[prime beacon]

This is the actual result.
My config is

config = {extra = {
        Xmult = 4, 
        mult = 4, 
        chips = 4, 
        dollars = 4,
        repetitions = 4,
        }
    },

[bold sleet]

test for the 4983214th time

oh, I made it work!

Now I just need a way to not have the moving up animation

[red flower]

did you restart a run before changing any values

[manic rune]

can i do local card = SMODS.add_card({key = card_key, area = G["ygg_crafting_show"]})?

so that card refers to the card created 🤔

[prime beacon]

I have not restarted the run, didn't think that'd matter. Just tried this and it has resolved this issue :)

[red flower]

yes

[manic rune]

nice

[red flower]

config values are not changed until you get a new one of the joker

[prime beacon]

Ah, I had assumed it was loaded when the game started

[hard mica]

Btw is there a way to just restart the Lua code in game so I don't have to restart the game everytime I change my code?

[red flower]

no

[bold sleet]

Is there a way to do just that?

[prime beacon]

you can hold M
