[hybrid shadow]

you replied to atlas.lua

[shut crater]

Ah sorry, I meant main

You may have to do some research to see if you can disable smart quotes

Or just as a test try copy pasting a straight quote everywhere you see a curled quote

[hybrid shadow]

should the keys be red when done properly

[shut crater]

What do you mean red

[shut crater]

That looks right

The colors are a little different for me but that seems like it's actually picking them up as strings now

[hybrid shadow]

so this one is the phone's fault, brb to fix that

[celest timber]

sometimes when i use this G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted, the game just doesnt redraw the cards to fill the hand size

[hybrid shadow]

alr hold on it froze when i tried to start the game, rebooting

[hard mica]

how can i make a custom rarity btw?

[tall wharf]

why does this still retrigger

[hybrid shadow]

do i need to do anything special to have my tarot card appear in packs or will it do that by default

[hybrid shadow]

ok it shows up by default

[sullen fern]

grafics...... desigmn,..

i was originally going to use this image for the nate joker but i found the little sprited nate to be funnier

[wintry solar]

Oh yeah if you’re coding on mobile they use quotation marks that aren’t correct when interpreted by lua

[wintry solar]

Like joker retrigger?

[hybrid shadow]

yeah that was the issue, changing the quotation marks fixed it, now how do I set the can_use on the tarot to only return true if the should_apply for the sticker is also true

actually i can probably look at the cryptid code for that one huh

yup got my answer from there

[tall wharf]

yea

[cyan lagoon]

not context.retrigger_joker

?

[tall wharf]

alr

[cyan lagoon]

how i can make this retrigger (as in joker retrigger)?

[sullen fern]

eight legendaries.

one for each tribe

[wintry solar]

As in when it doesn’t trigger it tries again with extra retriggers or that if it was successful it creates more when it retriggers?

[cyan lagoon]

if you hit the 1 in 4, it triggers twice

[wintry solar]

Probably something like checking for the retrigger context and just giving the consumable, it should only count as having triggered if you hit the chance initially

[hard mica]

does anyone know all the rank ids of the played cards?

[cyan lagoon]

oh, what if i put 'or context.retrigger_joker' after the chance check?

[cyan lagoon]

2-14

[mystic river]

with this https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Rarity

[cyan lagoon]

after 10, there's 11 - jack, 12 - queen, 13 - king and 14 - ace

[wintry solar]

Yeah that should work

[analog spoke]

is there any guide that tells you how to make your own "soul" style consumable? by this, I mean, having a custom rarity, then, having said custom rarity only show up via a custom consumable which makes them
this would be my first real consumable btw

this is what I have so far btw, just the skin of a rarity, really

[pale venture]

Hey, just to check, there isn't a straightforward way to make a tag impossible to copy even by other mods' tags right? For example cryptid's triple/quadruple/quintuple tags.

[hybrid shadow]

not gonna ping bc i dont need an answer from any specific person, but starting on the second half of this and wondering if this looks right

[analog spoke]

added more

[pale venture]

Probably stupid question but did you enable joker retriggers? It's an experimental feature

[cyan lagoon]

of course

[tawdry shale]

been getting this error while trying to add sounds

[loud vortex]

bump

[sturdy compass]

Can you show your sound implementation? Both the creation of the Sound object and the usage of it

[lofty sand]

hey does anyone know the color for xchips in steam modded, or where that might be listed in the smod wiki?

[sturdy compass]

First off, I don't think it's the sounds causing the problem, but I can't find the line that's crashing in the vanilla code because of all the injects on my end. Secondly, this would not function in your intended way, as joker_main check would never go off due to local booleans being reset every calculate call, and your loop would stop as soon as one of the criterias are met due to the returns

[red flower]

all colors should be in the text stylings page but it should be G.C.CHIPS

[analog spoke]

I'd want to make this card into a spectral and have it appear in spectral packs, but I am not yet sure how to do this

[lofty sand]

y'know, I don't know how I missed the text styling page lmao

I blame it on not wearing my glasses

[sullen fern]

if anyone knows what the thingies are on the blinds then uh, idk. you can have a slice of cheese or something.

[dull sage]

Is there any example anywhere of a Blueprint Joker implementation?

[sturdy compass]

Check the vanilla code

[analog spoke]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua check line 3870

[wintry solar]

How does the code look?

[tawdry shale]

updated it but i'm still getting the same card.lua error

[sturdy compass]

Do you have access to vanilla code?

[wintry solar]

You need brackets around the chance check

[tawdry shale]

i'm not using vanilla, i'm just using steammodded

[sturdy compass]

Go to mods/lovely/dump and open card.lua. I wanna see the code at line 4905 since that’s where the crash is happening

[wintry solar]

When do you get the crash?

[tawdry shale]

whenever i start my current run i'm using to test stuff, the game itself opens

[wintry solar]

Oh, you set active to 0 and then check if it’s not zero

[sturdy compass]

Don’t continue a run, always start a new one after changing code

[wintry solar]

Try starting a new run

[sturdy compass]

Yeah starting a new run is probably your fix

[sullen fern]

before i impliment ANY jokers. i want to implement the yo-kai tribe system

i’ve been saying this before but i want it to be a seperate variable i can slap onto any joker

[cyan lagoon]

another 'or retrigger' fixed it

[sullen fern]

the problem is that i don’t really know how to make a new variable entirely

[tawdry shale]

okay, good news: no more crashing but it is Not working how i intended 😭

[red flower]

how many tribes are there
if there are not that many you could make ObjectTypes

[sullen fern]

i have 9 tribes that i want to impliment from yo-kai watch. brave, mysterious, tough, charming, heartful, shady, eerie, slippery, and wicked

i’m not including enma and wandroid because those two are very niche and don’t really fit balatro

[sturdy compass]

Like I said, your loop will end early due to your method of returning. Also your booleans will still reset before joker_main rolls around. I’d say handle that tracking within joker_main and handle the sounds within a context.individual check

[sullen fern]

realistically i’d want them to have their own badge that goes onto the joker right above the rarity

can i do that actually?

[analog spoke]

how would I make a joker that adds +1 Shop Slot WHILE in said shop?

basically, like, a freebie, I guess

idk

maybe I should think on this more, lol, idk what'd be best here balancewise, lol

[red flower]

you can take ownership of each and give them a badge but it would probably be easier to do some kind of patch

[sullen fern]

like this

[analog spoke]

actually, I think I have an idea here, hehehe

[modern kindle]

good schmorning modding crew

[analog spoke]

what are the weights of the base game rarities btw?

[modern kindle]

thats my goat N right there

[analog spoke]

crispy

she says hi

[modern kindle]

who the heck is dat

[analog spoke]

crispy, she commits arson <3

[faint yacht]

set_badges = function(self, card, badges)
  badges[#badges+1] = create_badge("texthere", backgroundcolor, textcolor, scale)
end

[analog spoke]

anthropormophic pretzel creature <3

[modern kindle]

arson is not healthy for longevity

[red flower]

i would patch the part of G.UIDEF.card_h_popup that add badges and use some function like get_card_tribe(card) to add the corresponding badge
there are multiple ways you can tag the cards tho, i dont know which specific one would be best

i would probably make a table of all the cards with a tribe for each in a file and then after hook some function that runs after all mods load that adds a field to each center called yokai_tribe = list[key]

but that's the first thing that comes to mind

[sullen fern]

yo-kai medals are different from the usual consumables so there probably WON’T be a spectral yo-kai medal

unless.

[modern kindle]

make them better than spectrals, make them ethereals

[high sinew]

for this joker it is supposed to check the playing card and if it has enhancement in geneneral it seems to be not working and adding xmult for scoring

it just adds +.1 xmult for each enhanced card in scoring hands

[shut crater]

so right now it adds +.1 for each enhanced card, but you want it to be +.1 if the hand contains an enhanced card

is that right?

[red flower]

that's not how you check for enhancements

[high sinew]

yes scoring hands

[high sinew]

oh really? i used it for checking specific enhancements just thought u can do for pool

[red flower]

next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card))

[red flower]

it's only for specific ones

[marble hatch]

Hey, where and how do I begin modding, and is there some documentation I can find to help me?

[high sinew]

ah damn ok i wasnt sure L

[red flower]

check the last pin in #⚙・modding-general

[shut crater]

1. Don't use context.individual for this (otherwise the code will get run for every card you play)
2. Check context.scoring_hand, not G.play.cards (G.play.cards includes unscored cards)
3. Use N's suggestion for checking for enhancements

[high sinew]

yea good call full hand is prob the way to go thank you 🙂

[shut crater]

I would also suggest looking at this repo to see some practical examples of how to use SMODS to recreate vanilla effects
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

(shoutout N)

[high sinew]

this what u mean?

[shut crater]

context.before is probably best

[cobalt arrow]

what's the difference between SMODS.Consumable and SMODS.ConsumableType?

[shut crater]

consumable is like a single tarot card or spectral card. ConsumableType is for creating an entire new set of consumables

[cobalt arrow]

oh a got it right so

thanks chase

where's the doc for SMODS.ConsumableType? I didn't find in Git

[shut crater]

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

[cobalt arrow]

oh it's in ObjectType

thanks again Chase

It's possible making a text Italic with TypeStyling?

[analog spoke]

did I mess something up here? the rarity isn't displaying correctly :<

it's showing up as a white backed "ERROR"

[scarlet spire]

is straight detection hardcoded to account for shortcut? how can I make a joker do the same thing as shortcut?

[red flower]

check four fingers here
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[scarlet spire]

saw this, but the code confuses me

what is the double not?

also, would this not potentially break if another mod does the same thing for its own shortcut-type joker

[red flower]

yeah it would, you would need to probably patch get_straight to not break

[red flower]

next(table) gives you a value not not next(table) turns it into a boolean

[scarlet spire]

ahh okay

[red flower]

* you need to patch the get_straight override in smods, not the original

[scarlet spire]

yeah I work off of the lovely patch dumps

[red flower]

yeah but the original isnt patched

[scarlet spire]

oh wait is get_straight redefined in utils?

[red flower]

smods completely replaces it

i think it's in smods/overrides

[scarlet spire]

oh wait this one doesn't even look for the specific jokers

[red flower]

yeah it does what i do in the reimplementation and just takes ownership of the pokerhand

[scarlet spire]

oh okay yeah I have to patch the poker hand part in smods game_object.lua

now I just have to remember how to patch smods files

the format is different, right

[red flower]

'=[SMODS _ "path"]'

as the target

[scarlet spire]

thanks

[hybrid shadow]

bump

[sturdy monolith]

how can i have it so that localization is completely disabled for a specific edition?

[turbid maple]

like a joker with a specific edition doesnt get localized?

[red flower]

the first argument of pseudorandom_element has to be a table like {"option1", "option2"}

[turbid maple]

like some sort of edition that forces your jokers to be in french?

[red flower]

evil

[sturdy monolith]

yes
exactly
I've got 2 jokers (watching and stained glass) that use a shader instead of art and i can't figure out how to use just a shader without needing an edition so I'm trying to disable the localization for those editions since it's gonna be displayed on their jokers anyways

like this one

[hybrid shadow]

oh, so just swap out the parenthesis for brackets like this?

[turbid maple]

oh that looks sick

[red flower]

yes but you still need the parenthesis to give it the second argument pseudorandom_element({...}, pseudoseed(...))

[sturdy monolith]

so yeah either i need a way to display a shader on them without needing an edition or i need to disable the localization ui for those specific editions

[red flower]

you can use draw or a DrawStep for that I'm pretty sure

[sturdy monolith]

I've tried to make one multiple times but they've either done nothing or have crashed

[red flower]

like this

[turbid maple]

never did anything with shaders but I know Hologram uses one in the base game

[hybrid shadow]

do i need to add anything afterward or is this fine as is

[red flower]

that looks fine

[sturdy monolith]

nvm didn't pay attention

lemme try that out

[red flower]

(that's from the invisible joker code that i copied for this) https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/ce4bad70093be5d28ef45c407178e418176c5a5f/src/jokers.lua#L4413

[sturdy monolith]

like this?

[red flower]

yeah

[sturdy monolith]

Oki lemme see if this works

nope

[hybrid shadow]

head to line 106 of sprite.lua

[scarlet spire]

??? okay
patching '=[SMODS _ "src/game_object.lua"]' crashes lovely, saying that it isn't a valid path or whatever
but patching '=[SMODS _ "game_object.lua"]' does nothing

what is the right method here?

[daring fern]

I finally fixed this by hooking SMODS.calculate_individual_effect instead of using func

[red flower]

oh it might need to be modprefix_shaderkey

[sturdy monolith]

THANKS

[red flower]

first one works for me

[scarlet spire]

here's the full patch

[red flower]

also if you're doing an 'at' patch there's no much difference from the take_ownership thing

[scarlet spire]

do I have to patch the entire line in order to do that?

the idea is that the patch still contains the original pattern, so anyone patching that pattern would still be able to patch on top of this as if it didn't exist

[red flower]

yes, you can maybe use regex to not overwrite it completely but idk

but anyone else would have to sidestep your patch too

that's why i said it was probably better to patch get_straight

[scarlet spire]

would I just be setting skip to 1 in the get_straight function if the joker is owned?

[red flower]

skip is a boolean so just skip = skip or not not next(SMODS.find_card(...))

you probably hook too

[sullen fern]

i probably should get to doing this before i actually impliment the jokers

[scarlet spire]

oh right it's a bool, okay yeah

[sullen fern]

like, actually implementing the tribes

[red flower]

when i made my mod i did all the yugioh type stuff beforehand too

[sullen fern]

so all the tribes should be like, a seperate object type, right?

[red flower]

yeah

thats what makes sense to me at least idk

[sullen fern]

so the shady tribe would be its own seperate object from the heartful tribe

[red flower]

yeah, objecttypes are more like lists of objects most of the time

i would look into how mods like cryptid do the food jokers

[sullen fern]

if the joker is a part of a specific tribe it’ll have a tribe badge

if it’s not a part of any tribe then it’ll just have no badge

i just impliment all the tribes and then apply them to all of the basegame jokers

just have one big “vanilla.lua” for all of the basegame jokers and their tribes

[scarlet spire]

okay wait, this is still crashing lovely, what?

[cobalt arrow]

is there a way to check the current ante in the code?

[lofty sand]

If I'm trying to make a joker that copies the ability of adjacent jokers, is there a better way to do that than merging their effects into a single table?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.round_resets.ante?

[gusty iron]

Pro tip! os.exit() just closes the game! Dont know if youll ever need this, but its good to know!

[sullen fern]

still have no idea where to start in terms of actually making the tribes real though

all i know is that they’re all gonna be seperate object types

[cobalt arrow]

Check the current Ante number

[daring fern]

Yes, that's what it is?

[tired kestrel]

I've arrived.

[cobalt arrow]

oh...

sorry

[red flower]

what's the error

[chrome widget]

Need a little help: I have a card here that causes retriggers lucky cards, and I want to juice/flare it every time the lucky card is retriggered. However, although I have a good place to trigger the first visual (in time with the 'again') text, I'm not sure the best way to add it on each successive instance

[red flower]

this looks similar to the outdated lovely error but idk what it means

[chrome widget]

What I do right now is just call the visuals on the consumeable before returning from the repeititon context

    G.FUNCS.csau_flare_stand_aura(card, 0.38)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'immediate',
        blocking = false,
        func = function()
            card:juice_up()
            return true
        end 
    }))
    return {
        message = localize('k_again_ex'),
        repetitions = gold_count * reps,
        card = context.other_card
    }
end```

[scarlet spire]

I guess I'll try updating lovely?

[cobalt arrow]

  key = 'Odysseus',
  set = 'Homerus',
  atlas = 'Homerus',
  pos = { x = 0, y = 0 }
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Odysseus'
    text = { 'Retriggers the first {C:attention}King{} played',
      'after using this card the number of times',
      'equals the current {C:attention}Ante{}',
      '{C:inactive}s"What if I the Monster?"{}'}
  },
  config = {
      repetitions = G.GAME.round_resets.ante
    }
  


 function use (self,card, area)
if context.cardarea ==G.play and context.repetition and context.other_card:get_id() == 13 then
  return {
    message = localize('k_again_ex'),
    repetitions = self.ability.repetitions,
    card = self

  }

}``` Is this code right?

[scarlet spire]

okay yeah updating lovely fixed it

[cobalt arrow]

Basically "Retriggers the first king played same number of times of the current Ante"

[modern kindle]

hi bestie

[chrome widget]

Hello!!!!

[modern kindle]

how are you my friend

[chrome widget]

Doing decent!!

[modern kindle]

:D

[hybrid shadow]

how do i make loc_vars in my SMODS.Consumable so that when something else changes the variable, it also changes in the localization file

[daring fern]

#1#?

[brisk rose]

finally done with this for the time being :3 It's part of @willow plinth 's reimaging of elbe's card exporter, but I decided to take the shader thing on. I ended up reimplementing the relevent draw steps and sprite draw routines, lol

most of the code is directly ripped from smods and the base game, just adapted for rendering off screen

[daring fern]

return {vars = {variable}}?

[hybrid shadow]

like this? (rest of the code is below this

[shut crater]

have a separate context check for whenever any card is scored and check if it's a lucky card, and just do the animation then

[daring fern]

No? return {vars = {variablelocation}}

[shut crater]

this will set extra.repetitions equal to the ante when the consumable is created, not the ante when it's used

[chrome widget]

Using the individual context doesn't time it with the 'again' text unfortunately. It plays after, during the chip scoring

[hybrid shadow]

??? thats different from what you first said

[cobalt arrow]

Hmmm How can i fix this?

[red flower]

my first instinct is to append extra tables for each repetition individually with each calling the flare function

[chrome widget]

Does that time them in the event queue correctly?

That doesn't sound right, admittedly

[red flower]

hmm it would time it after the message i think

if you use func

[shut crater]

don't store it in extra at all. Just return repetitions = G.GAME.round_resets.ante in the calculate function

[cobalt arrow]

oh

[hybrid shadow]

return {vars = {variable}} is not the same as return {vars = {variablelocation}} not that i understand what you mean either way

[chrome widget]

You also can't use extra tables in the repetition context without getting a warn (which may be completely benign obv if you don't actually have debug tools)

[red flower]

im pretty sure aure fixed extra tables in repetition at some point recently

[shut crater]

what he's saying is that you should put the name of the variable in the innermost curly braces

[chrome widget]

Wixard, the vars table in the loc_vars return table is an array of values. You pass in the number of variables you want, and then you reference them in the localization text using #1#, #2#, #3#, etc, where the number is the position in the passed array

[chrome widget]

I should update SMODS so let me try it

[red flower]

recently might have been like 3 months ago tho im bad at time

[lofty sand]

yo, how does copying vanilla jokers work? since they don't have a calculate function I'm not sure what I should use

[chrome widget]

Copying how?

Like with Blueprint?

[lofty sand]

like blueprint, yeah

[chrome widget]

Also they technically do have a calculate function, in the sense that all jokers call the vanilla Card:calculate_joker() function, and just go through the vanilla logic if it doesn't find an SMODS calculate function and return early

[lofty sand]

ah okay, cool

[chrome widget]

Otherwise you kinda just have to copy the blueprint logic, which is, uhh, this whole thing

[shut crater]

a lot of vanilla jokers (all of them maybe?) have been adapted to the SMODS way of doing things
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua

[red flower]

there's a helper function in smods for this

[chrome widget]

Definitely not all of them. Some specific jokers are overwritten, but SMODS leaves a lot of them vanill as possible

[cobalt arrow]

How can I determinatecan_use(self, card) for only when a round is being played?

[chrome widget]

Dang that would've been good to know like a month ago. Classic SMODS experience

[red flower]

i love undocumented functions

[shut crater]

documentation is optional

[red flower]

like, inside a blind?

[cobalt arrow]

yes

[red flower]

G.GAME.blind.in_blind

[cobalt arrow]

thanks

[hybrid shadow]

this is the rest of the card code, what would i put into the vars table to make it so that when the card code is changed by another card the variable also changes

[primal robin]

Me: G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.name == G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices["Boss"]

[chrome widget]

I'm not sure how the card code can be changed by another card given what I've seen here, but typically you store relevant variables for consumeables inside the config table

[hybrid shadow]

ah so i gotta redo that then

the plan was to have a joker somewhere else in the mod that doubled the effects of all tarot (including the one im working on rn)

[chrome widget]

So yeah you'd store a value in config or config.extra, and then you access it via card.abillity or card.ability.extra in the loc_vars function

Is the relevant number the highlight count?

[hybrid shadow]

yeah

[chrome widget]

So in your consumeable defintion, you would have

    extra = {
        highlight = 1
    }
}```

And then in `can_use` and `loc_vars`, you call `card.ability.extra.highlight` when you need to compare the number of how many can be highlighted

However, in `use`, you'll need to make a for loop to loop through all the highlighted cards rather than just applying to a single one

[tired kestrel]

Hey, good question.

[chrome widget]

This almost works, but the timing is too late 😭

[tired kestrel]

I know I've asked a lot

but right now I'm having troube about

[red flower]

damn

[hybrid shadow]

how would i do that second part

[chrome widget]

It's so close

[hybrid shadow]

also, does this look good in regards to the first part of what you said

[chrome widget]

You'll want to also check for can_use that it's between 1 and your highlight limit. For example in the vanilla game, you can highlight only one card with Hierophant to apply the Bonus enhancement to

And you don't need to check for it twice btw

Curently you're doing the same check twice in a row and returning if both are true (which will always be true)

[hybrid shadow]

its two different checks that i copied from Cryptid's Global card

[chrome widget]

oh wait I see the second checks for consumeables

Hmm then you'd need to also highlight the same amount of consumeable which is not what you want

Genuinely I don't think you need the latter check

[hybrid shadow]

so would the consumable check always be 1

ill just remove it

[tired kestrel]

Hey has anyone got a moment? otherwise I'll wait.

[hybrid shadow]

if the removal causes problems ill add it back in

[chrome widget]

Basically, whenever can_use is called, it's when the consumeable itself is highlighted

In which case, the number of consumeable highlights will always be 1, because you can't highlight more than one at a time

[hybrid shadow]

right

now how would i do the for loop

[chrome widget]

    -- your code goes here, 'v' is the card you need to apply the sticker to
end```

[shut crater]

Feel free to ask, someone will likely see it or if not, you can just bump later

[hybrid shadow]

what goes in the blank

[chrome widget]

your same sticker appliation code that you're already using

[tired kestrel]

Alright, Apperently the playing card mention being "copied" didn't work,

Firstly let me show the code:

Waht it's supposed to do is copy a random playing card effect

[chrome widget]

But when you pass in card to apply, you use v instead of what you were using before

[tired kestrel]

@shut crater This is the issue.

[daring fern]

Try with cards with editions and seals and enhancements.

[tired kestrel]

Well the desrciopion of this joker I found online was this: "Copies the Effect of a Random Played Card Per Hand"

I thought it was just more than seals

[hybrid shadow]

would it be like this

[chrome widget]

Nope

Oh, that's what you meant by "the blank"

The underscore is used to basically "exclude" a key or a value from an iteration

It just means it's unused

You literally put the underscore there _

[daring fern]

Try doing this:

local eval, post = eval_card(other_card, context)
if eval.playing_card then
    for k, v in pairs(eval.playing_card) do
        eval[k] = v
    end
end
return eval
``` `other_card` being the card.

[hybrid shadow]

like this?

[shut crater]

You're only storing the id (numeric rank) of the card in your array, not the whole card

[chrome widget]

for _, v in ipairs(G.hand.highlighted) do

You have the do way earlier, it would give you a compilation error

[hybrid shadow]

fixed that

otherwise it's alright?

[chrome widget]

Also you need to call :apply(v, SMODS.Stickers['hmlt_br_st'].key), since it's a function

Erm, wait, that's wrong

[hybrid shadow]

'hmlt_br_st' is the key for the sticker

or is that not what you meant

[chrome widget]

I think maybe you just pass in 'true' as the second argument?

I'm not as 100% on stickers as I am on some other stuff, they're a bit weird

[hybrid shadow]

from what's been told to me they act the same as seals

so whatever code is applied to seals also probably applies here

[red flower]

nah for seals it's just :set_seal(key), stickers are different

afaik

[hybrid shadow]

in any case do i need to do this

[chrome widget]

do :apply(v, true)

[hybrid shadow]

like this?

[chrome widget]

Think so

[red flower]

no comma after apply

[tired kestrel]

alright I'll try this out.

sorry for the delay

[hybrid shadow]

and then in loc_vars it would be like this?

[hybrid shadow]

oh because its in a function right?

[chrome widget]

Yeah, commas are for table declarations

[red flower]

no, because it's a statement

[daring fern]

Yes, but also you need to store the cards themselves, not the ids.

[hybrid shadow]

in either case is this the right way to write this or do i need to add anything else

[chrome widget]

Test it out

You'll know if it's broken if you test it

[hybrid shadow]

i cant test it for another few hours, so will update when i can

[chrome widget]

Ah, hrm

How do I arbitrarily nest tables within tables?

Smth smth recursive function here

[red flower]

this is how i do my extra table concatenation https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/40e7f90f4a6b0e8db15fed29f43f08d6b2e34065/src/effects.lua#L492

[hybrid shadow]

t["value in origin table"]{ "some stuff", "more stuff", "etc" } (taken from a random stack overflow post i saw when i googled the issue)

[chrome widget]

No, I need to do it at arbitrary depth depending on a variable

Which is more complicated

[tired kestrel]

and how is it possibe for this?

[daring fern]

card_select[i] = context.full_hand[i] not card_select[i] = context.full_hand[i]:get_id()?

[red flower]

something like this

local table = {}
local recurse_table = table
for i = 1, depth do
    recurse_table.extra = {}
    recurse_table = recurse_table.extra
end
return table

[tired kestrel]

alright I did that but somehow it didn't work not sure if I did the code right like this:

not sure if I needed to start a new run

[daring fern]

You do.

[chrome widget]

local recurse_table = return_table
for i=1, gold_count * reps do
    recurse_table.extra = {
        func = flare_func,
        message = localize('k_again_ex'),
        repetitions = 1,
        card = context.other_card,
    }

    recurse_table = recurse_table.extra
end

return return_table```

[tired kestrel]

ok.

[chrome widget]

Like yes I do understand vaguely how this works but ughhhhh reference tables hurt me

It shouldn't be as complicated as it feels trying to wrap my head around it

[lofty sand]

this worked fantastically. the only problem I have now is trying to get the joker to display whether or not it's compatible with other jokers. In the vanilla remade mod, it displays it in it's loc_vars, but I also noticed it doesn't include it's joker description, or loc_txt at all for that matter. how does it display in the joker's text box?

[red flower]

yeah

[daring fern]

You need to return eval not post.

[tired kestrel]

oh.

[red flower]

it uses main_end which displays it at the end
for the rest it uses a localization file instead of loc_txt

[tired kestrel]

alright let me try that and see.

but also

[chrome widget]

The Blueprint compatibility badge is done is in the Card:generate_UIBOX_ability_table function in vanilla. In modded, you'd return main_end in the loc_vars return table roughly similar

[lofty sand]

ahh okay, would a localization file be worth making?

[tired kestrel]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1233186615086813277/1371843226692096110/SPOILER_image.png?ex=6825ed90&is=68249c10&hm=ada7d53d938f321772ff174b9d39a88a48067fc9f7b1c1d8e12d992b1d1b4f34&=&format=webp&quality=lossless
I want to like go with this concept.

[lofty sand]

got it, thanks

[chrome widget]

main_end = (self.area and self.area == G.jokers) and {
    {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "bm", minh = 0.4}, nodes={
        {n=G.UIT.C, config={ref_table = self, align = "m", colour = G.C.JOKER_GREY, r = 0.05, padding = 0.06, func = 'blueprint_compat'}, nodes={
            {n=G.UIT.T, config={ref_table = self.ability, ref_value = 'blueprint_compat_ui',colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, scale = 0.32*0.8}},
        }}
    }}
} or nil```

[red flower]

depends, some people like having loc_txt although eventually you might come across something you need a localization file for
and it's easier for localizing

[daring fern]

Do you only want it to copy the chips? (Also jacks give 10 chips?)

[chrome widget]

I believe Blueprint/Brainstorm's self.ability.blueprint_compat_ui value is set in Card:update and it just checks every frame (which is bad, you can do it much more efficiently than vanilla does it)

[tired kestrel]

that's what I thought if any.

[lofty sand]

in what case would you need a localization file? as opposed to just loc_txt?

[tired kestrel]

so yes.

that's what I was trying to do based on that description

[red flower]

for this it's indifferent

[chrome widget]

Personally I use localization files because I find it a little easier, but whether or not it's easier depends very heavily on how decentralied you want your information for certain things to be

[red flower]

if you need to localize a message you need a loc file as well as some objects that don't allow loc_txt

[chrome widget]

Ultimately I think they're better if you have multiple localizations

Plus yeah, for a number of things, you'll need to put arbitrary loc strings such as in the dictionary table which isn't item-based

[tired kestrel]

(also the jack chips number was a typo)

[lofty sand]

cool, I'm sold lol

I'll look into making one

[daring fern]

Then you would just do ```lua
if context.joker_main then
local copied_card = pseudorandom_element(context.scoring_hand, pseudoseed("seed"))
return {
chips = copied_card:get_chip_bonus()
}
end

[tired kestrel]

like replace all the code with this?

or an area of the code?

[daring fern]

Everything in calculate

[tired kestrel]

alright.

[chrome widget]

I realize you said you're already sold but for example, we use localization files for a bunch of assorted flavor callouts that cards do when activated as well as hold all the text for custom badges since it's the best centralized location for it

[tired kestrel]

I replaced everything in calculate with that and it gave me this:

[daring fern]

Code?

[chrome widget]

You've got a syntax error. Check your code, it should appear red around where it's missing a brace

[daring fern]

That's only if you have the lua extension.

[primal robin]

Practice shows that localization files just better

Use them

[tired kestrel]

alright one moment

[chrome widget]

Hm. Now I'm getting an error saying a return table for this doesn't have repetitions in it.........

oh wait I see

[tired kestrel]

this.

[chrome widget]

I think the the topmost table in the nest doesn't have it

[daring fern]

You're calculate is missing an end

[tired kestrel]

ah.

[sturdy monolith]

how can i get this button to actually be clickable? here's the code

[tired kestrel]

Now it did work!

But theo nly thing missing is getting thep laying card to display "Copied!"

Is this possible?

[tired kestrel]

Then again thanks for the most part.

[chrome widget]

Whelp, triggering this after the Again text is the best I've got

I guess that's alright

[daring fern]

Add SMODS.calculate_effect({message = 'Copied', colour = G.C.GREEN}, copied_card) before the return.

[red flower]

i think the UI for the tooltip doesn't have the property for that
it should be something like .states.clickable

[tired kestrel]

THAT WORKS! Now let metry torecord

to see the result

[sturdy monolith]

so i should move the button code to a local, set its clickable state to true, and then use the local instead?

[red flower]

maybe that works? I don't know if the whole UIBox needs the property too

[tired kestrel]

Thanks @daring fern ! now it works!

[brisk rose]

composited externally

i'm gonna have to find a lua gif library, lol

[sturdy monolith]

trying the discord/twitter buttons approach used in the main menu and it still isn't working
could it be because this is inside of the localization UI?

[red flower]

yeah that's what I was saying, I think the whole tooltip is not clickable

[tall wharf]

😭

[sturdy monolith]

OHH
oh that makes sense

[red flower]

you might be able to add the property tho

i think card.ability_UIBox_table.states.click = true might work

[frigid blaze]

What am I doing wrong?

[sturdy monolith]

lemme try that rq

[red flower]

you might need to do it in a hook tho, loc_vars might be too early

[red flower]

pool doesn't exist

[frigid blaze]

How do you do it right then?

[sturdy monolith]

would putting it into the update function maybe work?

[red flower]

yeah sounds right

[red flower]

idk never used pools
what do you want to do?

[frigid blaze]

When the Joker appears, the chance of rarity increases

[red flower]

i think it should be G.GAME.fut_heroic_mod =

[frigid blaze]

And that's it, just like that?

[red flower]

you also need the modifier you want after the =

[frigid blaze]

I need default_weight = 1

[brisk rose]

huh, it's definitely sped up. I still think 60 frames at 20fps is a good idea, just gotta put the right value to add to G.TIMERS.REAL and G.TIMERS.REAL_SHADER. I just realized what I did wrong

[sturdy monolith]

https://github.com/TheBearodactyl/insolence-balatro/blob/cb0df3ee75b8a70c8c99ef302fe6301a04536454/lovely/misc.toml#L193

[brisk rose]

I think it's the compositing I did wrong

I did one frame every 5/100 of a second instead of 1/5

[sturdy monolith]

the patch here updates shaders in real time without being too fast, if that's what you're looking to do

[brisk rose]

but I did properly advance the timers by 1/20th of a second every frame

[sturdy monolith]

still doesn't work :(

[red flower]

oh sorry it's
.click.can = true

also try
.collide.can = true

[brisk rose]

the shader already gets sent the 'real' time in other places? Shaders are programmed around the time parameter being static

[red flower]

i remember messing with those for jokerdisplay

[sturdy monolith]

this doesn't work still

[brisk rose]

just updating the timers works to animate shaders in my experience. I just gotta update them right, lol

[sturdy monolith]

right, and the patch i linked makes it so that ALL shaders update time in real time instead of being static

[brisk rose]

which I am doing i think

one second

[brisk rose]

which seems like it'd cause unexpected behavior ngl

I'm curious if it looks weird

[sturdy monolith]

i mean my mod has like 23 shaders and that use time and they all work perfectly
(these are the shaders which use time the most)

[sturdy monolith]

yeah this doesn't work either

[brisk rose]

yes, but it was definittely doable without a patch like that, or if you did do a patch you shoulda done it like betmma

[frigid blaze]

It's not working

[brisk rose]

where itonle applies to their shader

[sturdy monolith]

if i wanted to do it like betmma then i would've done it like betmma
i want ALL shaders to update in real time, not just mine
because otherwise sending the time is pretty much just useless

[red flower]

is it crashing or does it just not work

[zealous glen]

how does that work

[brisk rose]

so your mod arbitrarily changes how shaders that aren't yours animate? I don't love that

[frigid blaze]

It just doesn't work.

[sturdy monolith]

how are shaders supposed to animate in the first place if they don't animate at all 😭

[red flower]

oh then idk

[brisk rose]

anyway, here's the tentacle shader at the proper speed

[frigid blaze]

I want my Joker to increase the chance of other Jokers falling out, how can I do that?

[sturdy monolith]

because with the base implementation they don't update unless they get redrawn, otherwise they're just completely static

[zealous glen]

because normally you can't hover over a tooltip

[brisk rose]

they.... do though? as I said there are other shader:send statements that give them the time, in some form

[sturdy monolith]

forcing tooltips via a lovely patch

[brisk rose]

but maybe it was a mistake

idk thunk is

[brisk rose]

I was right, the frames were correct, I only needed to play them back right

[sturdy monolith]

they do not get sent the actual time
they are static

[zealous glen]

I wonder if there's something invisible over the tooltip that stops you from clicking on it

[wheat pulsar]

hi, i want to do a function like is_face(), this make sense? ;;

function Card:is_stone(from_boss)
    if self.debuff and not from_boss then return end
    local id = self:get_id()
    if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_stone") then
        return true
    end
end```

[sturdy monolith]

wait actually that might be the case

[red flower]

what's your goal?

[pure salmon]

how do i check if a card is unenhanced? is it just SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card)

[red flower]

not next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card))

[daring fern]

No, not next(SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card)) I think.

[sturdy monolith]

nvm i guess

[zealous glen]

Something reacting with something other than 🤔

[red flower]

quantum enhancement stuff

[pure salmon]

still don't know what a quantum enhancement is lol but i see why that check works

[red flower]

basically just multiple enhancements on a single card

never used it tho

[brisk rose]

sorry I forgot that only vortex gets sent the time usually

I have been looking at that code for days

[sturdy monolith]

you're good

[wheat pulsar]

I want to check is a stone card is destroyed

    if removed_card:is_stone() then stone_cards = stone_cards + 1 end
  end```

[zealous glen]

it's a lag generation machine

[red flower]

and why don't you just check with has_enhancement directly?

[frigid blaze]

I want my Joker to increase the chance of other Jokers falling out, how can I do that?

[sturdy monolith]

that entire patch is meant to make it so that all shaders get sent the actual time, therefore making it so that all shaders actually get animated instead of just being static

[wheat pulsar]

is more to learn how to create functions with lua

[red flower]

i mean the function definition was correct but the logic inside doesn't make sense, you also never want to make a function for something that already has it unless you really don't like the syntax

consider making a function when your code is like >3 lines and repeats in various places

[wheat pulsar]

ohh okay

so the function look like this?

for _, removed_card in ipairs(context.removed) do
if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_stone") then stone_cards = stone_cards + 1 end
  end

[red flower]

yeah

[wheat pulsar]

I have a problem with the logic of the calculate, when a stone card is destroyed gain chips

            local stone_cards = 0
            for _, removed_card in ipairs(context.removed) do
                if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_stone") then stone_cards = stone_cards + 1 end
            end
            if stone_cards > 0 then
                card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + stone_cards * card.ability.extra.chips_gain
                return { message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips', vars = { card.ability.extra.chips } } }
            end
        end```

[brisk rose]

does anyone know how to accomplish animated gif encoding in a mod?

like taking png data frames from love and encoding a gif

[sturdy monolith]

I've got a thingy that converts mp4s to spritesheets that you could use along with a game update hook

could probably make it also work with gifs

https://github.com/TheBearodactyl/vid2ss

[brisk rose]

i'm doing this well well out of game, lol. just making a gif from images arended on an ecternal canvas by the game

[red flower]

looks fine to me, what's the issue?

[brisk rose]

this is the opposite of what I want

[brisk rose]

out of game but with the game engine

[sturdy monolith]

oh i misunderstood 😭

[brisk rose]

if that makes any sense

[analog spoke]

so, uhm, turns out, yet another problem exists with iridescent joker, lmao 😭
so, the thing is, uhm, it didn't remove the effect on remove, before, so I uh, I tried to add a remove from deck effect, and with it, I also tried to turn something that used to be a local into a config var and now it's having all sorts of problems, I don't even know anymore 😭

[brisk rose]

like technically I'm in a run, but all the output is off screen to files

[wheat pulsar]

say that te game crashed

[red flower]

ohh yeah sorry, it should be removed_card instead of context.other_card

[sturdy monolith]

i have officially given up on trying to add a button to go to the original shader and have instead resorted to doing this

[wheat pulsar]

ohhh, so i can put all the context card in things like that?
ty

[pure salmon]

is there a way to get a joker to do something every time a card is drawn from the deck?

[red flower]

a joker is not drawn from the deck normally

you mean when obtained?

[sturdy monolith]

i don't think that's what they were saying 😭

[red flower]

yeah but it's funny

[sturdy monolith]

maybe make a hook on draw_card and make a new context?
lemme try and make one rq and I'll send a picture

[red flower]

i think you can use context.stay_flipped or context.hand_drawn?

[sturdy monolith]

like this

[pure salmon]

that would make sense, i don't know how to use hooks though. is there documentation in the smods wiki for them?

[modern kindle]

i beg of people to utilize snipping tool

[daring fern]

context:?

[sturdy monolith]

inlay hints, sorry

[sturdy monolith]

me when i don't have Wi-Fi to be able to use discord on my laptop

[red flower]

what's the effect? you can probably use one of the blind contexts

[sturdy monolith]

this adds a new context that you can use to check if a card is being drawn

[pure salmon]

idk i don't think i can

[red flower]

context.hand_drawn can do that

[pure salmon]

is there a way i can get the amount of cards drawn by using context.hand_drawn, then?

[sturdy monolith]

they're trying to do it for every individual card drawn, not just checking for the entire hand

[red flower]

that gets called every time draw_from_deck_to_hand is

[wheat pulsar]

to return a message is only this?

return { message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips', vars = { card.ability.extra.chips } } }

i make my own dictionary to work but the message doesn't appear

dictionary = {
      k_lucky = "Lucky",
      a_chips="+#1# Chips",
    }

[red flower]

context.hand_drawn is a list of cards during a blind, context.other_drawn is a list of cards when not in a blind

[sturdy monolith]

#💻・modding-dev message

make a custom context for when any card is drawn, and make a local variable that increases by one every time it happens
then, have the mult update by 1 if that local variable is divisible by 4

[red flower]

this doesn't check if it is from deck

[pure salmon]

doesn't need to

[red flower]

??

[sturdy monolith]

they aren't trying to check for that though

[red flower]

?????

[pure salmon]

i want it to work when ANY card is drawn, including from booster packs

that is a card drawn from the deck

[sturdy monolith]

i can try and make something like that if you want me to send an example

[red flower]

the booster pack doesnt use draw_card i dont think either anyway

[sturdy monolith]

oh so you are trying to check for that

[lofty sand]

hey, so when I'm returning whether or not the joker is compatible, I'm using:

                return "{C:attention}compatible{}"
            else
                return "{C:inactive}incompatible{}"
            end
        end```
but this just ends up looking like the image I posted. do you know how I could make the color display proplerly? would I have to split the badge into two to do that properly?

[pure salmon]

oh do packs not use draw_card? hm

[red flower]

text styling doesn't work outside of loc_txt/loc file normally

[lofty sand]

damn, no way to do that then?

[chrome widget]

No, you can return custom text nodes to put colored text in badges like that

[red flower]

ok, let's try again
what do you consider to be drawn from deck? keep in mind your definition might be confusing to your players

[pure salmon]

any time a card from your deck appears on the screen

so that's during blinds, and during applicable booster packs (arcana, spectral)

[red flower]

oh, ok
then use context.hand_drawn

[red flower]

this is literally what the context is for

[sturdy monolith]

but that checks if the hand is drawn, NOT if an INDIVIDUAL CARD gets drawn

[red flower]

what's the difference if you have all the cards

for that effect there's no difference

[sturdy monolith]

if i were to use the hand_drawn context it would not return true 8 time if i were to start a blind with a hand size of 8

[thorn flame]

thoughts

[pure salmon]

yeah, there's other card effects in the mod where i'd want to evaluate each drawn card seperately

[red flower]

it would return true once with a list of 8 cards

[sturdy monolith]

too op

[sturdy monolith]

#💻・modding-dev message

You could nest returns if you want individual pop-ups

in a strictly game design sense, it incentivizes uninteresting play by making the most optimal play the least fun one

be funny if it was the other way on

[zealous glen]

I thought Cryptid modders loved taking a lot of time to beat a Blind

[thorn flame]

id play it more as a low low chips joker

maybe it could be like ice cream

+100 chips, -1 chip for every seconds spent in this blind

[zealous glen]

No

[shut crater]

I personally don't mind the idea of that, but I would probably never pick it up

Yes.

[naive raptor]

i thought there was more to it

and then use card_eval_status_text?

can multiple enhancements be passed to enhancement_gate in a joker?

it already add the chips but the only not show is the message

[lucid owl]

or should i just use in_pool()?

[daring fern]

No, because it can't take a table, I don't think.

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lucid owl]

alright, thanks

[manic rune]

this

is a crafting table

[shut crater]

try adding message_card to the return?
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions#step-3-returning-effects

[sturdy compass]

I would very heavily recommend using SMODS.calculate_effect instead of card_eval_status_text

[naive raptor]

alright

[shut crater]

did you print out the localize function to make sure that it gives you a string and doesn't return nil?

[manic rune]

i think it should return ERROR if the key is wrong

idk

[shut crater]

I think you're right so idk

[wheat pulsar]

yeah, it doesn't show nothing

i need to add another thing ?

[wheat pulsar]

the joker works but doesn't show the message

[tidal ice]

chat help how in the world do I make this look better and actually like an origami heart

[glad osprey]

tf is a face stone card

[glad osprey]

look at how people fold origami hearts

[wheat pulsar]

the "face" is wrong but yeah, is only stone cards

[glad osprey]

also make it less neat

[wild escarp]

Anyone know why this might not be resetting when a card of suit "G.GAME.current_round.willowmod_jokeinthebox" is played?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.before and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
        local reset = false
        for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
            if v:is_suit(G.GAME.current_round.willowmod_jokeinthebox) then
                reset = true
                break
            end
        end
        if reset == true then
            card.ability.extra.x_mult = 1
        else
            card.ability.extra.x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult + card.ability.extra.Xmult_gain
        end
    end
    if context.joker_main then
        return {
            xmult = card.ability.extra.x_mult
        }
    end
end

Welp, realized after typing it out.

[brisk rose]

why are you using such a complicated way of accessing the suit?

[wild escarp]

It changes every round, and this how I found it done.

[brisk rose]

so the suit itself at that location is variable?

[wild escarp]

yes

[brisk rose]

interesting

[wild escarp]

I essentially copied all the suit changing code from VanillaRemade.

[gusty iron]

how would i remove perishible/eternal/rental from a joker?

[daring fern]

card.ability.eternal/perishable/rental = nil

[shut crater]

I believe that's the way ancient joker handles having the suit change every round

and there is no simpler way to do it in SMODS

[red flower]

the simpler way is to do it individually by card

[shut crater]

true

[red flower]

but it's a different effect then

[shut crater]

but the functionality will be different

yeah

[gusty iron]

and how would i check if a joker in the slots has this?

like

for the can_use function

[tidal ice]

I decided to reference Red Card for it and I think this looks much better yeah

[shut crater]

is it random or do you choose a joker to apply it to

[gusty iron]

its rnadom

[shut crater]

you'd have to iterate over G.jokers.cards

[red flower]

if you print G.GAME.current_round.willowmod_jokeinthebox before :is_suit what does it say

[shut crater]

check each one for any of those stickers

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    if v.ability.eternal or v.ability.perishable or v.ability.rental then
        return true
    end
end
return false
```?

[gusty iron]

yuh!!

[wild escarp]

I already figured it out, I just needed to add .suit to the end of G.GAME.current_round.willowmod_jokeinthebox.

[shut crater]

is that actual lua syntax with the slashes?

[gusty iron]

i wish

would make or statements so much better

[red flower]

is it
as long as those are numbers you're dividing by :3

[gusty iron]

    use = function(self, card, area)
local jokersyuh = {}
 for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    if v.ability.eternal or v.ability.perishable or v.ability.rental then
       table.insert(jokersyuh, v)
    end
local randomjoker = pseudorandom_element(jokersyuh, pseudoseed('YUH'))
randomjoker.ability.eternal = nil
randomjoker.ability.perishable = nil
randomjoker.ability.rental = nil
    end,

would this work?

[daring fern]

‎

[gusty iron]

as that would be a waste of a consumable

[brisk rose]

can't you just store the suit object on the card's center?

a ref to it

or on the card itself rather

I don't think there's anything that stops you from doing that

[brisk rose]

the ability table perhaps?

if you mean the thing that ancient joker does

idk if this is similar enough to apply

[red flower]

yeah the problem is that it needs to be the same for all cards

you never want to save things that change per game in the center

but personally i just make all the effects individual so i dont need to do any of that

[brisk rose]

I meant the joker's ability table. like G.jokers.cards[1].ability.activesuit = "suit object"

[red flower]

yeah but that's not the same for a second copy of the card

[brisk rose]

then yes do it on the center?

I mean yeah you have to remember to change it back

but eh

[red flower]

you could do it on the center but I wouldn't recommend it because you need to reset it each game

there's a cool smods function for these kinds of effects anyway

[hasty mist]

how do you lovely patch another mod

[shut crater]

technically (if I understand lua) you could put the suit in a table and store that table on G.GAME and also in the ability table of each joker and then because it's a table they would all be accessing the same object

[brisk rose]

can't it be an extra variable on the jokerthat you define in a way to ensure that it's the same per instance yet still random?

or is this back to the same complexity

[red flower]

'=[SMODS modID "file"]'

[daring fern]

target = '''=[SMODS modid "locationtofilefrommodrootdirectory"]'''

[hasty mist]

ty

[brisk rose]

yes, everything is a table and you can store anything anywhere

from what i know

lua even lets you access the locals of other functions if you want

iy can be wild if you do it wrong

:P

it's in the debug library ofc, but balatro does include it

[red flower]

the point I think is that it's best practice to store global variables that change for each run in G.GAME

anywhere else and you need to remember to reset it yourself and that's a bigger hassle

[brisk rose]

yeah, I mean it's simple too

you don't have to do the current_round and give it a long name though

you can change it every round anyway

[shut crater]

I just meant that I think tables in lua are shallow copies so the only way to edit a value in one place and have it update in other places is to use a table rather than just store the value directly in ability
but also this is a bad way of doing it

[brisk rose]

they are shallow copies, but suits are tables too

so you'd change the suit object

which is a table

directly

[gusty iron]

should i make a balatro pixel art font to make making consumables easier

[shut crater]

oh wack

[brisk rose]

or if it isn't a direct reference to the suit object then it'd be wheever_the_suit_centers_are[suit]

instad of just suit

[lucid owl]

is there an easy way of testing if something is in the current pool? i'd like to make sure my in_pool function works without having to cycle through the entire shop or anything lol

[red flower]

long names are good

[gusty iron]

print(inpool())

or in the inpool funcrtion

have it print the variable

[red flower]

ban all other cards with the banner mod :3

[gilded narwhal]

How would I check if something is being added to the pool correctly other than just by rerolling a million times?

[lucid owl]

fair enough lol

[red flower]

ban all other cards with the banner mod :3

[gilded narwhal]

bro

ngl

I didn't even read the other message

lmao thank you

[brisk rose]

I've learnt a lot from fucking around with shader and draw stuff, it's dedintiely jumping right in

even if I was just copying vanillia and smods code and reimplementing it for the scope and purpose I was dealing with mostly

just adding more and more from SMODS.CardDraw and the sprite draw routines in the engine until it did the thing

lol

[gilded narwhal]

i never realized how convenient this is wow

[hasty mist]

i love banner

[sullen fern]

okay, time to, well, start coding

[hasty mist]

is there a way to directly reveal hidden poker hands

[gilded narwhal]

how would you guys recommend i reword this

[hasty mist]

i would replace "gains" with "and gains"

[gilded narwhal]

and the left card and gains

[hasty mist]

maybe a comma then?

or do

"destroy adjacent cards and gains"

thats most consistent with how other people word things ike this

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    if not v.visible then
        v.visible = true
    end
end
```?

[hasty mist]

i mean ingame

for testing

[lofty sand]

does anyone know how I could check for vanilla jokers being blueprint compatible?

[daring fern]

eval for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    if not v.visible then
        v.visible = true
    end
end

[hasty mist]

works thanks

[hybrid shadow]

merge the left card into the right card

i mean technically in Inscryption they also combine the values of the "same card" so i suppose that isnt really what youre going for here

[lofty sand]

aye yo inscryption reference?

based

[gilded narwhal]

See merging wouldnt be very intuitive

Like

[hybrid shadow]

like if you gave the Mycologists a 2-2 rat and another 2-2 rat it becomes a 4-4 rat with whatever extra sigils they had

[gilded narwhal]

Does it mean just the chips? Can you stack enhancements/seals?

[daring fern]

Enhancements yes.

[gilded narwhal]

Maybe I could just put it in an infobox

[hybrid shadow]

i mean... if the wording is "merge" it implies that everything's combining

[lofty sand]

if played hand is a Pair, merge the attributes of the left card with the right?

[gilded narwhal]

That's not how it's coded tho

Hmmm

How it's coded is exactly how it's worded

[hybrid shadow]

did you code it before deciding what the effect would be?

[hasty mist]

i think "If played hand is a Pair, destroy adjacent cards and gain their chips, enhancement, and edition" would be the most intuitive and the most consistent with other mods

[daring fern]

What about seals?

[gilded narwhal]

Doesn't work with that

I didn't actually code it lmao

I'm just touching up descriptions in the build I'm working with

And I wanted to figure out the most efficient and non-confusing way to word it

[gilded narwhal]

the joker doesn't gain those tho

the card does

This description implies the joker gains it

[hasty mist]

so does your original description though

[gilded narwhal]

OHHHH I SEE HOW THATS CONFUSING

OHHHH

What it's supposed to do is merge the stats of the right card into the left card

bro why are you ❓ing me I don't think it's very confusing 😭

[gilded narwhal]

man i didn't make it okay

snow didn't implement seals

I'm just gonna put a comma after "right card"

So it doesn't read like it's destroying both cards

[hasty mist]

ohhhhh

maybe "destroy card to the right, the card to the left gains"

[weak gate]

how do I detect a right click? I want to open a custom window when a joker is right-clicked

[gilded narwhal]

?

[hybrid shadow]

alr finally putting the code in and it's saying this is wrong

[hasty mist]

way clearer

[hybrid shadow]

ah, i had only one = lol

[sage crater]

Wheres the wiki page with taking ownership of a vanilla thing?

[daring fern]

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

[sage crater]

Cheers

Ah, api docs

[hybrid shadow]

and now it crashes when i select a joker?

still pointing to line 36

saying the extra is nil

[shut crater]

what does your config look like

gotta give us a little more code to work with

[hybrid shadow]

1 sec

oh its when i try to hover over the card

[hybrid shadow]

does the path need another piece

[shut crater]

no that looks right

can you just show the whole consumable

[hybrid shadow]

do i need to put my loc_vars after the config (getting the screenshots of the code rn)

[narrow iron]

im trying to get the most played poker hand, this should set local hand to the poker hands name but it just sets it to nil

[daring fern]

It's k not K

[narrow iron]

ahhh

[daring fern]

Also you should be setting played = v.played

Elsewise it'll always get the last hand on the list as long as it's been played more than 0 times.

[narrow iron]

thank you, i cant believe i overlooked that

[hybrid shadow]

i removed the parenthesis from the last return since it's unnecessary but it's still saying that the extra there is an issue

[high sinew]

seems this calculates where its adding more than its supposed too

did .2 instead for one card

[shut crater]

I honestly can't see what's wrong, I'm about to drive home so I can help you more in like an hour

[hybrid shadow]

alr

[daring fern]

context.scoring_hand is truthy almost always?

[high sinew]

wdym?

[shut crater]

You're using scoring_hand as your context check but that's a table with the scoring hand, which exists for most contexts

[shut crater]

Can you post the crash log

[high sinew]

is there sum better I can use to check hand once main_scoring?

[daring fern]

context.before?

[wet adder]

what are kings listed as in terms of rank.

[manic rune]

13

[wet adder]

thanks

[hybrid shadow]

in the meantime how does cryptid handle the whole "more than 5 card selection limit" deal

[daring fern]

G.hand.config.highlighted_limit = number

[hybrid shadow]

so if i had a sticker that increased the card selection limit when card held in hand would it be something like

       G.hand.config.highlighted_limit = G.hand.config.highlighted_limit + [variable for number of the specific sticker on cards held in hand]
end```

or something like that

[daring fern]

I don't think you would return it.

[hybrid shadow]

ah

[sullen fern]

this is probably still the case, right? making all the yo-kai tribes seperate object types is basically what crypid does for food jokers

[hybrid shadow]

does the rest seem about right

[daring fern]

I think so.

[sullen fern]

where would i find the code that handles that

[hybrid shadow]

would it be smth similar for expanding the hand size itself

[daring fern]

G.hand:change_size(variable for number of the specific sticker on cards held in hand)

[red flower]

they recently fixed it so you can just put all the keys in cards instead of doing this inject thing but here https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptid/blob/6e3574a17ef4dd205efdc2ea03a0df08731eac7a/lib/content.lua#L319

[hybrid shadow]

so its just

      G.hand:change_size([variable])
end```

?

[daring fern]

I think so.

[sullen fern]

so i would just add the jokers i want to modify in the "cards" section

right

[red flower]

yeah
idk what happens if you add something from a mod that's not loaded tho

[stiff locust]

alright how do I get the stake completion for a deck

get_joker_win_sticker() didn't work on a deck
figured i may as well try it anyway

[narrow iron]

how do i debuff a card with debugplus?

[daring fern]

eval SMODS.debuff_card(card, true)?

[narrow iron]

i just need to debuff a card for testing

im not writing any code here

[daring fern]

Yes, that's what you type into debugplus.

[narrow iron]

ohhhhhhhhhh

[weak gate]

how do I detect the right mouse button click in code?

[daring fern]

Hook Controller:R_cursor_press?

[weak gate]

what does it mean to hook, here?

[hasty mist]

where are the hex codes for rarity badges stored

[sturdy compass]

globals.lua

[hybrid shadow]

i might start a new run to see if that fixes the issue

[red flower]

it's always good to start a new run before testing something

[narrow iron]

this should flip all played cards, turn them into glass, and flip them back, but they dont get enhanced to glass until after the hand is resolved. they still flip 2 times, but they're still glass afterwards

[wheat pulsar]

hi another time, i want to make every time play only 1 card add a hand size, but pop ups a error un this line

card.ability.h_size = card.ability.h_size + card.ability.extra_h

[red flower]

what if you delete the nil, true in set_ability?

also don't use context is events, save them to another variable first

[hybrid shadow]

yeah.... that was the issue lol

[red flower]

what's the error

extra_h is probably not getting saved

[hybrid shadow]

alright now that thats solved, time to add more code for other stuff

[sullen fern]

but like, how do i format it

[narrow iron]

okay, so, now they flip twice, look like glass, but they dont trigger the x2 mult

[red flower]

can i see the config? also try saving stuff in an extra table

[red flower]

yeah if you do it in an event it happens after scoring

idk what the correct timing would be rn

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/issues/667#issue-3036919403

[sullen fern]

should be easy then

[wheat pulsar]

here is it

[red flower]

ok try restarting a run and using card.ability.extra.extra_h

[wheat pulsar]

where i use it?

[red flower]

yes

[surreal coral]

Am I missing something with the load function cause I swear every time I try to reference a variable inside it, that variable just isn't loaded yet. Like it can't see into 'extra' for jokers (joker.ability.extra), and #G.hand.cards returns 0

[wheat pulsar]

now dont crash but didnt work

[red flower]

h_size should also use extra.h_size

and the return should say extra instead of extra_h

[wheat pulsar]

yup, it works but the messaege didn't show

[soft echo]

how does one check to see if a joker is currently in your joker slots

like check to see if the player currently had another specific joker

[wheat pulsar]

now works, i change the sytaxis

[narrow iron]

can i hook smods functions?

[sturdy compass]

You should be able to yeah

[narrow iron]

there is probably a better way to do this but i dont know what,i want to change the odds and xmult of glass cards depending on whether i have a specific joker, but this isnt working

[sturdy compass]

Instead of taking ownership, you could probably do this with an add_to_deck function in the joker itself

[sullen fern]

all the joker keys should be the same as their actual ingame names, right?

[sturdy compass]

There are some differences

[sullen fern]

besides showman which seems to be "ring_master"

[sturdy compass]

It's more than that

[narrow iron]

what does that do?

[sullen fern]

is there a list of them out there?

[sturdy compass]

Runs code when the joker is added to your deck

[sullen fern]

would be nice to know

[surreal coral]

game.lua if you know how to look at the source

[narrow iron]

yea that would be useful, but i still dont know how else to modify the glass cards

[sturdy compass]

What I'd do is change the extra value in the prototype for m_glass, and afterwards loop through your deck to do the same with glass cards you already have

Or instead of changing the prototype, you could hook Card:set_ability and change it whenever a glass card is made

[narrow iron]

i'll probably go with that

[sturdy compass]

Here's how I did something similar with Stone Cards. It'd obviously look a little different with Glass Cards but it's a decent reference point

[narrow iron]

thank you!

[sturdy compass]

np!

[narrow iron]

would it be v.extra.odds?

[torpid plume]

my work on Star Card art for Entropy! all of them besides Multiverse, Star.Lua, Nemesis, Pulsar/Quasar and the five “suit stars” (all drawn by ruby iirc) is my art!

[sturdy compass]

I think it'd be card.ability.extra

[narrow iron]

ahh okay

[sturdy compass]

Coming from a total space nerd, these kick ass

[torpid plume]

coming from another total space nerd, thank you :3

i was really proud of Dyson Swarm, Betelgeuse, TRAPPIST-1 & Kepler-90’s art

[sturdy compass]

I believe in Trappist-1 system supremacy
(Micro's full name is Microscoppi, Geist's is Poltergeist, and Proxima's is Proxima Centauri)

[torpid plume]

hell yeah

[sturdy compass]

(All art done by Maxis)

[torpid plume]

for anyone curious, Entropy is a Cryptid addon mod lol

hence why theres so many

[sturdy compass]

Aw damn, not gonna play that :/

[torpid plume]

ah fair

[sturdy compass]

Not a big Cryptid guy unfortunately
