[manic rune]

i think im good at them

but

i havent figured out how to indent properly in patches yet

😭

[sonic cedar]

oml

[manic rune]

so it always takes the second try to get the indentation right

istg

[manic rune]

since yggdrasil uses patches, heavily

[vast fractal]

bump

[sonic cedar]

like literally why i paused ijiraq to go to isaac is cause none of the ijiraq patches are doing their damn job 😭 (thank you delirium for helping with those if you're out there)

but i have ONE isaac patch and it works perfectly like i cant win or lose

[primal robin]

ref_table is objet read from, ref_value is key to read

So if you display config.name then

{
  ref_table = config,
  ref_value = "name"
}

Ui will automatically insert and update value

[tawdry oriole]

line 777 of overrides.lua (cryptid) makes me crash but like how do i avoid that

[manic rune]

what is that line

[manic rune]

a

idk, it seems whatever forced_key is, thats not a valid object type for G.P_CENTERS

[red flower]

you're creating a card with the wrong key basically

[tawdry oriole]

oh

yeah that might be it

i'll try and fix it

[cyan lagoon]

how do i change the chances on a lucky card?

there's mult and money in G.P_CENTERS, but where are chances?

[cyan lagoon]

they're hard coded!?

[manic rune]

[cyan lagoon]

fuck-

[manic rune]

you will want to patch

:p

[modern kindle]

or you can do what i did and accidentally guarantee the 20 mult every time

[manic rune]

:3 idk patching seems cleaner

[modern kindle]

tell that to my 1k line patch file

[cyan lagoon]

is it like these fucking things?

[manic rune]

yup

[cyan lagoon]

ono

[analog spoke]

how does one make a level DOWN ? I'd like this joker to REDUCE the level instead of raise it

[cyan lagoon]

look at the boss blind

the arm

[analog spoke]

I don't know where I'd find that :<

[short girder]

is there a variable that counts how many cards of a certain enhancement you have in your deck? would be really useful for a joker im making

[cyan lagoon]

open balatro.exe with 7zip and open blind.lua

[wintry solar]

Change true to -1

[manic rune]

you will want to code that on your own

run through G.playing_cards, use SMODS.has_enhancement

[short girder]

gotcha

[exotic totem]

The code used in the source code for the Arm boss:

if G.GAME.hands[handname].level > 1 then
            self.triggered = true
            if not check then
                level_up_hand(self.children.animatedSprite, handname, nil, -1)
                self:wiggle()
            end
        end 

[analog spoke]

hmm, okey, I'll see, hehehe

[exotic totem]

Should be something like this. The enhancement argument is the key for the enhancement you're checking

function count_enhanced_cards(enhancement)
    local count = 0
    for k,v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
        if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, enhancement) then
            count = count + 1
        end
    end
    
    return count
end

[timber oriole]

how do i add plus mult because for some reason config = { mult = 4 } does not work

[manic rune]

you need to return it

what config does is just creating variables for code to read from

they dont do anything on their own

[timber oriole]

oh

i think 1 joker i made with xmult does work

like that

[exotic totem]

I think it would work automatically with mult_bonus or something similar? But better to return it

e.g.

calculate = function(blabla)
  if context.joker_main then
    return {
      mult = card.ability.extra.mult
    }
  end
end

[manic rune]

p sure you returned xmult in calculate

[exotic totem]

naw you can set x_mult in config and itll automatically apply

[manic rune]

oh, actually?

[exotic totem]

yeah just like vanilla jokers

[manic rune]

mm i see

better to rely on calculate instead, though

[timber oriole]

oh wow that's totally not confusing

[exotic totem]

its one of the values copied from the card config table besides extra

maybe its not x_mult id have to test but it def happened w a joker i was working on

[static valley]

hey so does anyone know where would be a good start to making a mod?

[split saddle]

hi i'm back :P
i was told to check the extra credit mod for reference on stuff and it's worked out great so far but now something doesn't work

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.check_enhancement then
    if context.other_card.config.center.key == "m_stone" then
      return {m_gold = true}
    end
  end
end

it's supposed to calculate all stone cards as gold but currently does nothing. am i doing something wrong?

[exotic totem]

can confirm this auto applies

[manic rune]

is this quantum enhancement

[split saddle]

yes

[manic rune]

if so, its broken as hell rn even if you got the code correct :3
-# which isnt btw

[split saddle]

???

[exotic totem]

i'm pretty new myself, i'd recommend starting w steamodded and lovely

[manic rune]

quantum enhancement is currently broken/unstable, p sure

[split saddle]

dang

[manic rune]

#1349064230825103441

[exotic totem]

but the steamodded docs can be a bit overwhelming so u can dm me if you need any further advice

[exotic totem]

idek what a quantum enhancement is and atp im scared to ask

[split saddle]

two enhancements on the same card

[manic rune]

it basically allows cards to have more than one enhancement

[exotic totem]

oh cool

and broken lmao

[manic rune]

❤️ yeah

[wintry solar]

No it’s not

[manic rune]

oh

people said it was broken, idk

[sullen fern]

i wanted to start working on the jokers for my mod but i have other matters to attend to

[manic rune]

i never used quantum enhancements myself so im just basing on what i heard from everyone :p

i think the assumption primarily came from extra credit(?) (the joker that makes it so all cards are lucky cards or smt)

[wintry solar]

It just crashes if you aren’t careful with your context checks sometimes

[manic rune]

a

i see

[exotic totem]

ominous to drop this and not elaborate

[manic rune]

🔥

[analog spoke]

I'm having an issue with the fusions in my mod ;-;

[red flower]

you know what mod has fusions that let you select which cards to use directly?

[analog spoke]

is... is there one?

[red flower]

JoyousSpring :3

[analog spoke]

hmmmmmm, I guess I'll check it out then maybe, hehehe

[woeful stratus]

i guess you are still in time to turn your mod into a YGO mod

[analog spoke]

[manic rune]

[analog spoke]

oh 💀 I get it now, lol
joyous spring is a ygo mod, lmao

[woeful stratus]

yeah

[cyan lagoon]

question where does the game set G.P_CENTERS?

[red flower]

game.lua

[analog spoke]

is there I way I can check out the fusion stuff without all the other stuff 😭 sorry lol asbjhdbfsjb

idek what I'm doing here waaaah dbhfjsbjhsf

[red flower]

lol

if you have debugplus give yourself 3 "Lady's Dragonmaid" (should be in the first collection page)

that should be enough to check how the fusion interface works

[analog spoke]

ok, I shall see how this works, lol

[cyan lagoon]

alright, now where are the descriptions?

[red flower]

the localization files

[short girder]

how would i make a joker like cloud nine which awards money for each card with specific parameters that you have
didnt find anything about it in the wiki

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/591b7129f30d2ab2ea4b47782d004294fd94b440/src/jokers.lua#L2081

[grand sage]

Excuse me but does anyone know how I would do compatability between mods specifically to both make a joker only appear when the mod is active and make the joker use a modded suit

[red flower]

next(SMODS.find_mod("modid")) tells you if a mod is installed

[analog spoke]

since you used my mod for reference, it actually has something inside it that helps with this, you had a bit in your code as well from what I saw that looks like this?

[grand sage]

I did see that when looking through the code

[cyan lagoon]

am i doing this right?

[red flower]

i don't think that will be saved in between loads

the games saves some specific keys

you want to put those in extra

[cyan lagoon]

self.ability.extra you mean

[red flower]

yes

[cyan lagoon]

thanks

like that?

[red flower]

in the last patch it should be extra.*_chance instead of extra_*_chance

[short girder]

modified it a little bit to try and make it work for enhancements but it's outputting an error :[

[cyan lagoon]

yeah i noticed that

thanks again

[red flower]

it doesn't work like that, use
SMODS.has_enhancement(playing_card, "m_gold")

[short girder]

ah

okay !

worked !

thanks you :D

[cyan lagoon]

uhh... it... didnt work

nothing changed

[somber kiln]

can someone help me creating the sprays of jokers for my mod please?

[pure salmon]

this is probably more of a lua question but how would i define global variables and tables that can be accessed from any lua script in the mod? can i just do that in my main file?

[crisp coral]

yeah, just declare the variable normally outside any code block

[cyan lagoon]

you mean G.GAME. variables?

here

[cyan lagoon]

do i need to do anything extra to use that lovely patch?

[split saddle]

destroying a joker is the same as destroying a card, right?

as in they both use return {remove = true}

[pale smelt]

Yes

[split saddle]

then why does this not work 😭

it does print the text, but doesn't destroy the joker

[red flower]

no

for jokers do

joker.getting_sliced = true
joker:start_dissolve()

[split saddle]

inside the return func?

[red flower]

no, outside

[split saddle]

alr thx

[cyan lagoon]

do i need anything else to make this work?

[split saddle]

wait, it crashed

something about indexing joker (a nil value)

do i have to replace joker with something else?

[red flower]

joker is the card you want to destroy, yes

[shut crater]

Unless you literally have a joker variable, yeah you'll need to use the actual variable that has the joker

[split saddle]

in this case, self is the right choice i guess

[shut crater]

Not if you're in a calculate function

Never use self in calculate

If you want a joker to destroy itself you can use card

(but also I just jumped in so I'm missing context)

(no pun intended)

[split saddle]

why?

[shut crater]

Because it doesn't refer to what you think it refers to

I think it's the center of the card? But tbh idk what it even represents because I have never needed to use it

[split saddle]

ok thanks

[wintry solar]

A better naming system would probably be (proto, object, context) for calculate functions, I think that’s more clear what things actually are

[red flower]

it's the same as card.config.center

[cursive sentinel]

hello, quick question, trying to call a joker hand_drawn although when you have more cards than handsize it doesn't get called at all (the purpose being to draw more cards than handsize), is there another context i can use?

(also dont know why but not blueprintable but if 2 sample of the joker, both activate)

[red flower]

hand_drawn is when a hand is drawn, it doesn't let you draw more cards
you need to manually call draw_card for that

[analog spoke]

I forgor 💀 I'll try it now lmaoooo

[red flower]

or draw_from_deck_to_hand or whatever that's called

[red flower]

if you want to let you draw cards even if the hand is full you need to patch* this

although i did propose a context for just that :3 you can copy from this
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/675

[maiden phoenix]

N stop carrying balala modding you'll break your back

[red flower]

i need something to do while i dont work on my mod

[cursive sentinel]

ohhhh

[split saddle]

when context.buying_card, using card refers to the joker reading the context. which object refers to the card bought?

[cursive sentinel]

so as a patch? is it blueprintable?

[split saddle]

documentation says self apparently, but yeah

wait i think i'm stupid, it says below that the one i want is c1

nevermind

it's not that

[primal terrace]

Currently attempting to make a deck where my modded Jokers appear more frequently, similar to this, how would I go about doing that?

[red flower]

yes, no
it's not blueprintable because it sets the hand_size to a value but you can probably change the logic to be a modifier instead

[red flower]

context.card

[short girder]

how do i give money when a joker is triggered sob

[red flower]

try card.ability.extra.dollars

[chrome widget]

Hmm..... I'm trying to replace G.SPLASH_BACK in the middle of the game and for whatever reason it gets a white streak through it?

Like??? why are you white?

I honestly wouldn't mind it if only I knew what caused it

[short girder]

still wants me to close the parenthesis
its a syntax error i just dont rly know where

[red flower]

do you have the Lua extension installed

[short girder]

found it

nevermind :D

middle line trying to index 'card' but its nil (probably has to do with G.GAME.probabilities.normal)

[split saddle]

whoops, forgot to destroy the card before copying

[analog spoke]

I... am so confused 😭 lmao
idk what's going on w this mod installed, lmao

[red flower]

you name it center in the arguments instead of card

[short girder]

OH makes sense actually

[red flower]

yugioh!

[wintry solar]

classic cryptid code styling

[analog spoke]

but yeah, idk if I am smart enough to be able to do anything like this fusion page thing 😭 lol

[split saddle]

ok that wasn't it... why does the game call context.buying_card approximately 1200 times after buying and how do i stop it?!?!

[analog spoke]

(I'd also need changes to it, as the whole "summon" thing kind of works in reverse from what I was wanting, lol, with the joker being found first then being, like, activated? idek what's going on lmaooo)

[red flower]

i mean that's the most complicated part of the mod yeah

the ui part is simple tho

[analog spoke]

oo? it is? hmmm :3333

(this is making me wanna make an "api" mod bsajhbfueb)

(if I got the term right, lol)

[split saddle]

why does this happen help ;-;

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/40e7f90f4a6b0e8db15fed29f43f08d6b2e34065/src/summon.lua#L783

[analog spoke]

😭 😭 😭

[red flower]

i like formatting my ui like that : (

[analog spoke]

adhsajknakj that's 14 lines 😭
(I don't know if it's formatting or not that's the issue, my brain's just confused af msakfnshdbj idk anything idk)

this situation is making me say "I don't know" a lot lmao

I feel like ui might be a whole seperate coding type lol, sadbjhbfsj I'm already learning joker code, shader code, now ui code I guess, abnsdhbjhsjhsd

I am headache

[cyan lagoon]

why this patch no workie?

[red flower]

there's a nice tutorial in the smods docs

[red flower]

is your patch patching

(is it in the lovely/dumps?)

[cyan lagoon]

no

the values stay as they are

and when i use the ones i added it crashes

[red flower]

if it crashes then it should be in the lovely/dump

[analog spoke]

ooo? where would this be? :3

[red flower]

it's called building ui or something like that

[analog spoke]

hmm

I... don't think I have the energy for this rn 😭 this ui stuff on top of the other 2 coding styles is 70% of the way towards maddening

[cursive sentinel]

whats the "match_indent = true" in patches mean? is it always necessary?

[split saddle]

using this code makes the game give way too many copies and idk why. am I doing somehting wrong?

OH NO WAIT

brainstorm is copying the effects i'm so dumb

uh oh

[grand sage]

ok so only the paperback partner is loading now i think i messed up somewhere in this file

[split saddle]

ok so how do you stop blueprint/brainstorm from copying this?

it says that blueprint_compat is purely cosmetic

[red flower]

not context.blueprint

[cursive sentinel]

i think i've totally misunderstood how this works..

pasted your patch but didn't change stuff :c

[split saddle]

how do you know if a joker came from a booster pack?

[red flower]

if you return { hand_space = 1 } it should always make you draw a card, unless i did something wrong

[cursive sentinel]

oh wait im completely idiotic

i didn't call you context- at all

so ofc it doesn't change

[red flower]

yeah

[chrome widget]

gripping my head and my hands why is there a white stripe why is this happening I don't understand

[red flower]

did you drop white paint accidentally

[chrome widget]

i hope notttttt

[hybrid shadow]

wait it might end up playing Seven Nation Army if you make more /j

[hard mica]

this doesnt seem to show the message , am i doing something wrong?

[chrome widget]

Okay I figured out why the white stripe happens

[split saddle]

what's the correct way to reference a joker by name/key?

[split saddle]

color me intrigued (pun intended)

[chrome widget]

hehehehehe

Basically I copied the code that does the intro screen flash, and it adds a modifier to the return color. The main issue is that it ever slightly doesn't return the modifier completely tozero

I have to figure out how to do the intro screen flash fade out while also eventually receding to the original return color for the shader

[split saddle]

that sounds so annoying xd

[cursive sentinel]

functions, although i have no idea why but my calculate wont be blueprint despite it working twice if i have my joker twice

if card.ability.extra.flag == 1 and context.hand_space then
                card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_safe_ex'), colour = G.C.CHIPS})
                for i=1, card.ability.extra.draw do
                    draw_card(G.deck,G.hand, i*100/(card.ability.extra.draw), 'up', true)
                end
                card.ability.extra.flag = 0
            end

(and thank you very much for your patch)

[red flower]

no idea

[wintry solar]

no return

game doesn't know you triggered if you don't return

[cursive sentinel]

ah so should swipe the card eval for a return in the same process?

[wintry solar]

or that might just be for retriggers, I dont remember

you can just put return nil, true at the end

[cursive sentinel]

ok will do that

didn't change

maybe my flag sucks?

[red flower]

i mean you're setting the flag to 0 immediately after

[cursive sentinel]

i did it as a card.ability.extra bcs i wanted to change it on next(poker_hands) although i dont seem to be allowed to call it without before/after stuff

if context.cardarea == G.jokers then

            if context.after and next(context.poker_hands['Straight']) and not context.blueprint then
                card.ability.extra.flag = 1
            end

            print(card.ability.extra.flag)
            if card.ability.extra.flag == 1 and context.hand_space then
                card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_safe_ex'), colour = G.C.CHIPS})
                for i=1, card.ability.extra.draw do
                    draw_card(G.deck,G.hand, i*100/(card.ability.extra.draw), 'up', true)
                end
                card.ability.extra.flag = 0

                return nil, true
            end

            if card.ability.extra.flag == 1 and context.end_of_round then
                card.ability.extra.flag = 0
            end
        end

perhaps is it the area joker?

[wintry solar]

no it's because you set the flag to 0

[cursive sentinel]

ah i should reset it before playing the hand

[hybrid shadow]

where do localized messages go in the localization file? do they just go in dictionary?

[cursive sentinel]

bad logic from me, sorry for disturbance

[grand sage]

How would I use a different mods custom suit

[hard mica]

not sure how i can play a sound since it gives me an error

[red flower]

modprefix_key

[red flower]

yeah

[hard mica]

thank you

[rapid stag]

what's the best way to get what chips a played card scored?

[hybrid shadow]

thx

[hard mica]

also these messages dont appear when the cards score

[red flower]

i dont really see why

[hard mica]

Should've appeared like yahi's mod

But not sure why it doesn't appear like his

[rustic swallow]

anyone know why the cards are permanently stuck at +2 mult?

[short girder]

not working :[ i may be stupid

[wintry solar]

can you show the full function?

[red flower]

joker_main, individual and after are separate contexts that are not true at the same time

[red flower]

because you're basically setting the value to card.ability.extra.perma_mult*2

[rustic swallow]

oh i see

[split saddle]

how can i know if a joker comes from a booster pack?

[hard mica]

fixed it

why does it show nil?

[unborn bay]

#23#

lmao

[hard mica]

?

[ivory coral]

try checking if G.STATE == G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED in the joker's add_to_deck() function
assuming its checking itself, otherwise im not sure

[unborn bay]

general order of loc vars' vars are indexed from 1
so

vars = { 1, 3, 4 }

would correspond to for example in the localization as

#1#, #2#, #3#

which would show up in game as

1, 3, 4

basically if it shows nil that means the game cannot find a corresponding value for that index in the returned vars table

[hard mica]

damn

[unborn bay]

and i doubt you have 23 entries on that vars table lmao

[hard mica]

nope

not sure how i can go with it

[ivory coral]

just to check does your joker actually have a loc_vars() function in it

[hard mica]

yep

[unborn bay]

config = { extra = { funny_value = 3 } },
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = { card.ability.extra.funny_value } }
end

in localization file: "X#1# Mult"
in game: "X3 Mult"

just remember the index of the thing you want to show

[hard mica]

ooooh

i get it

thank you

[split saddle]

bwoah that is so cool

[runic pecan]

In playing cards' calculate function, what context is for when this card is removed or about to be removed?

[minor magnet]

this is so cool??

wait what does it do tho

OH IT CHANGED THE JOKERS?

[zealous glen]

Not only that

[turbid maple]

does it drop you in a new random timeline

[pure salmon]

that is a sick effect holy

[dull sage]

Me: Why isn't my enhancment picking up the seal that's on my card???
The Sealless card i'm selecting:

[lofty sand]

hey, does anyone know if I can make a joker affect the blind scaling directly?

[chrome widget]

It specifically sets you back to the ante you purchased the lower level voucher on in a new "timeline" as it were

[zealous glen]

Least cool @chrome widget Joker

[wheat pulsar]

hii, how do i check if i discard for example this hand, only the queens destroy?

[chrome widget]

Ghfjsjdhdhdhd thanks Victin

[zealous glen]

:3

[minor magnet]

winter that is cool as hell it gives me a sick idea

[zealous glen]

I was talking about the Consumeables

[minor magnet]

can i do something similar

[hard mica]

how can i make the moeny sign for my joker description?

[zealous glen]

I mean I imagined it would be relevant for [REDACTED]

[turbid maple]

you tyoe the dollar sign

[ivory coral]

not sure about the scaling directly, but you can change a blind's size in round by changing G.GAME.blind.chips, so you could make all blinds 1.5x as big or something
theres also some other stuff with events to make it actually display right too

[short girder]

how do i write pseudorandom logic!!! do i just type a table of values or!!!

[ivory coral]

just $

[lofty sand]

that should work for what I'm trying to do, thanks.

[ivory coral]

heres the code i used to do this

  G.GAME.blind.chips = math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips*<some multiplier>)
  G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)
  local chips_UI = G.hand_text_area.blind_chips
  G.FUNCS.blind_chip_UI_scale(G.hand_text_area.blind_chips)
  G.HUD_blind:recalculate()
  chips_UI:juice_up()
  if not silent then play_sound('chips2') end
return true end}))```

[lofty sand]

I assume <some multiplier> you'd replace with the value

[ivory coral]

yup
can be a config or whatever

[lofty sand]

dope, I'll give it a shot

[hard mica]

how can i make text yellow?

[short girder]

{C:attention}text{}

[hard mica]

and orange?

[ivory coral]

{C:money} is yellow, {C:attention} is orange

[hard mica]

thank you

for green?

[ivory coral]

C:green

[hard mica]

oh lmao

[ivory coral]

theres also C:mult, C:chips, C:inactive (for grey), and probably more

definitely more

[hard mica]

where can i find all of them?

[ivory coral]

good question
probably in the source code somewhere

idk if its documented

[gentle cloud]

hey so i need some help, I'm making a(n Un)Planet that basically just ups a random hand, but for some reason the code im using is, instead of being normal isn't showing what hand it's upgrading?
Said Code:

use=function (self, card, area)
        local leveling_hand = G.handlist[pseudorandom("justspace",1,#G.handlist)]
        level_up_hand(card, leveling_hand, nil, 1)
end```

[turbid maple]

im 50% sure that has to be done manually

[short girder]

text styling on the wiki

[ivory coral]

ah so indeed

[glad osprey]

anyone know how i would visually remove the suits

i already have a spritesheet for suitless ranks but idk how i would apply the sprite

[pine turtle]

How can I score consumables because currently they are only scored when no context is used in calculate?

[shut crater]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling

[chrome widget]

You'd have to hook or overwrite the drawstep that draws ranks and suits

[hard mica]

this is perfect

[pine turtle]

Also how do I keep consumable data saved between saves

[shut crater]

take a look at the code that checks for stone enhancement and hook/patch it to check for your thing too

I think it's in smods/card_draw.lua or something like that

[sullen fern]

how do i make a card locked behind using multiple consumables

because much like in yo-kai watch, the legendaries in balatro-kai will be locked behind obtaining the medals of specific yo-kai

[split saddle]

ok i'm back
this didn't work for the purpose i wanted to (identify whether a joker comes from a pack) bc it only checks if a booster pack is open, which isn't what i want. is there any other alternative?

[rustic swallow]

how would i make it so that the joker always has a poker hand set, even when he isnt present, or it is the start of the run? like to do list

[hard mica]

how can i add a card with eternal on it?

like through code

[ivory coral]

hm
i assume youre trying to check if another joker came from a pack then
i dont think the game actually tracks that

[split saddle]

hmmm

what about checking if a joker came from another joker? (e.g. invis copy)

maybe set a variable inside the joker to track this?

[rugged helm]

how does one get the civil chatter role

probably wrong channel actualy lmao

[split saddle]

#🍌・waiting-room

[sullen fern]

i know that is a thing that’s possible

[split saddle]

ok but how do you declare a new variable inside a joker

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({stickers = {"eternal"}})

[rugged helm]

ohcool

[hard mica]

how can i add a specific joker? like egg

[shut crater]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#mod-facing-utilities

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({key = "j_egg", stickers = {"eternal"}})

[shut crater]

take a look at add_card and create_card

[hard mica]

thank you

[rustic swallow]

how would i make a joker that changes what hand it requires at the end of the round, even when its not present or it is the start of a run

like to do list

[shut crater]

the line that says config = { extra = {} } you can put stuff inside the {} for extra, like extra = { var = 5 }

[split saddle]

yeah that's what i'm thinking

thanks

[daring fern]

mod.reset_game_globals(run_start)?

[analog spoke]

what does this mean in laymans terms?

I'm making my first ever true function here and it's supposed to input 2 numbers and output one

[sturdy compass]

Can you show the code?

[shut crater]

you did arch.something but arch is a number

[analog spoke]

hmm, ok, that makes sense, hmm, guess I can't use the same name for my mod id and for my local, thanks, I'll try this, thank you for telling me this 👍

[sturdy compass]

That should be fine to do... hmm

[analog spoke]

I'm hoping to get better at code here, and like, truly understand WHY my things aren't working

[analog spoke]

here's the code, for better analysis

I can also show the function itself if that helps

[sturdy compass]

first off you're defining arch as a global variable. Should definitely be local

[analog spoke]

ok, that's probably it lol, hehhe

[sturdy compass]

second off you're assigning card.ability.extra.mult to arch, which is a number value and not a table. All you really need to do is remove any '.mult' from all 'arch.mult' usages for it to work

[analog spoke]

poor spelling/memory strikes again, lmao

[analog spoke]

I'm so dumb 😭

I didn't mean to put the .mult into the local lmao

ok, thank you lol

[sturdy compass]

that'll do it. doing that change will make it work as well

[sullen fern]

now i need to add them to the tribes

[analog spoke]

it's funny, got a crash while making my first ever function and the issue wasn't even related, lol

[sullen fern]

which are all seperate object types

i know you can add modded jokers to an object type by specifying their key

[sturdy compass]

For future reference, your crash reports should tell you the exact line where the crash is happening

[glass snow]

Hey, new to the modding community, is there any resources to write and create mods that work with the balatro mod manager?

[daring fern]

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

[sturdy compass]

To add a mod to BMM you need to fork it and add your own directory

[sullen fern]

so i think you need the mod key and then the joker key

in this case it would be like
mymodid_j_myjokerkey

[glass snow]

Thank you

[split saddle]

i'm having some trouble with this :( how do you append stuff into extra?

[shut crater]

can you explain in more detail what you're trying to do

I might've missed it

[split saddle]

ok

[sleek cliff]

oh my swirls.

[red flower]

j_yokai_snartle

[split saddle]

i have a joker that copies another joker when it is purchased. there are two parts to it: from shop and from packs. the copying of jokers from the shop works perfectly, but copying jokers from booster packs is harder because a) the game apparently doesn't track the source of [free] jokers and b) my joker tries to copy every other joker when acquired before dying , so it stack overflows trying to copy the new jokers. and don't even get me started on multiple copies of it (but that is for later and i might have the solution)

[rustic swallow]

how and where should i use this

[gleaming jungle]

Is there any way to load a font into Trance without putting the ttf & lua into the Trance/fonts directory? Would like to avoid having to set that up manually if possible

[daring fern]

No.

[gleaming jungle]

alright, thanks

[shut crater]

that sounds super complicated, but what does that have to do with storing a variable in extra?

[split saddle]

not necessarily, but some way for me to know the procedence of a joker so that it doesn't try to copy the same joker several times. as it stands now, context.card_added is called for every copy of the copied joker (i.e. get blueprint > new blueprint, function called > new blueprint, function called, new blueprint, ad nauseum) and obviously this is really bad

[red flower]

can't you make it not blueprint compatible

[split saddle]

maybe blueprint was a bad example...

blueprint isn't the problem, it's the fact that the joker itself triggers its effect

[red flower]

can you show me the code, it would be easier to get

[split saddle]

adding a new joker triggers context.card_added, which makes a new joker and yeah

[shut crater]

so something like card.ability.extra.copied_joker = other_joker_variable

[split saddle]

yeah kinda

[red flower]

oh i get it

[split saddle]

but i'm lua skill issued and idk how to do that ._ .

[split saddle]

it's a

[red flower]

honestly what I would do is add copy.copied_by_waiting = true and then you check if the added card has that

[split saddle]

that's what i thought

doing it like that will just throw "attempt to call a nil value"

[red flower]

not if you write it correctly

what's the issue

[split saddle]

wait nvm i'm stupid

it just works 🤯

[red flower]

🔥

[split saddle]

i tried something similar earlier but maybe i did something wrong

anyways thanks :)

[rustic swallow]

how would i make a joker that changes what hand it requires at the end of the round, even when its not present or it is the start of a run like to do list
maybe using mod.reset_game_globals(run_start) but i have no idea how

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/591b7129f30d2ab2ea4b47782d004294fd94b440/src/jokers.lua#L2907

[rustic swallow]

very helpful, thank you!

[split saddle]

does the game track if a card is queued for deletion?

as in, after you return {remove = true} , can you do like if remove or something

wait i kinda answered my own question didn't i

[red flower]

i dont think it does in an easily accessible way

[zealous glen]

Kinda

card.ability.getting_sliced

But currently it needs to be put on cards manually

You can use Card.can_calculate(true)

To test for it or other things that would prevent it from being calculated

The boolean controls if you test for debuffs or not

[glad osprey]

final thing for rumpus cards how do i remove the text that says what suit it is

so it would just be "Jack"

[placid star]

whats the var that goes with context.after for checking how many chips a hand will score?

[split saddle]

i don't understand.... you can:
if card.ability.getting_sliced then <do if card is removed>,
or use if card.can_calculate then <do if card is removed> and also works for debuffs
but it needs to be done manually, how?

[red flower]

hand_chips, it's a global

hand_chips * mult if you mean the total

[zealous glen]

When you remove a card, currently you should also set getting_sliced to true to allow other things to know the card is being destroyed

Card.can_calculate is a method that evaluates to true if the card can be calculated

Card:can_calculate(true) does that but ignores the debuff status of the card

[zealous glen]

@red flower do you think this should use . or :? Card is the class not an instance but I’m calling the function, so the call needs an instance

[wintry solar]

a :

[red flower]

anyway vanilla doesn't do any of that for playing cards so i dont think this will help them

[zealous glen]

What’s the logic? Since there’s still no instance 🤔

[zealous glen]

But this is for a mod

Most mods use SMODS

[wintry solar]

you'd always have a card object when you're wanting to use this function anyway

[red flower]

but smods doesn't do this, we talked about it lol

[zealous glen]

Yes but not in this explanation

[zealous glen]

SMODS does do it

[wintry solar]

so I'd just type card:can_calculate(true) when helping people

because people are dumb

[zealous glen]

But as I said, the variable in the card needs to be assigned manually right now

[wintry solar]

SMODS doesn't do it for playing cards

that's what N meant

[zealous glen]

Card.can_calculate is called for playing cards though

We’ve been over this

[red flower]

but it doesn't check if it's being destroyed because getting_sliced is not set with { remove = true }

that's what the question was

[zealous glen]

It checks if it’s being destroyed if the effect destroying it was implemented correctly

[red flower]

well the vanilla cards don't

[zealous glen]

The correct implementation is to manually set getting_sliced

[wintry solar]

I would imagine that the only mods that do that are ones you've worked on

[zealous glen]

I also tell people to do it

When I explain it to them

Which is how we ended up in this conversation last time and this time

[split saddle]

ok but where do i put it? inside or outside the return?

[zealous glen]

It’s the same thing with Card.is_rank or the context for removing playing cards

[split saddle]

currently inside crashes my game

[zealous glen]

Vanilla doesn’t handle it automatically so mods need to handle it manually

[zealous glen]

Put what where

[split saddle]

oh wait

no nevermind

[wintry solar]

but also, having looked at the code, I don't think it's required at all, and is actually probably detrimental

[split saddle]

where does card.ability.getting_sliced go?

and since i'm doing it from a joker i should probably use context.card, no?

[red flower]

what's the effect you want?

[split saddle]

set a card for destruction and be able to reference it later

[zealous glen]

Also my bad there’s no ability

Just card.getting_sliced

[red flower]

playing card or joker or

[split saddle]

playing card

[wintry solar]

the only calc step that adding the flag to cards that are destroyed in sequence would miss is remove_playing_cards, and you could feasibly want effects that happen in that context coming from destroyed cards

[nova eagle]

i know this is wrong, but how do suit colors?

[zealous glen]

You set it when you select the card for destruction

[wintry solar]

so I think adding getting_sliced to playing cards is actually incorrect

[nova eagle]

i tried referring to the style guide, but its not working

[red flower]

is there a reason why remove_playing_cards doesn't work?

[zealous glen]

I’m not sure what you mean

[red flower]

{C:hearts} iirc

[split saddle]

because i didn't know about it xd

[wintry solar]

adding getting_sliced would mean the carsd don't calculate themselves in context.remove_playing_cards

basically you're adding the flag too soon

[zealous glen]

I think that’s an issue with context.remove_playing_cards

Not with the flag

[wintry solar]

no it's not

[nova eagle]

doesnt seem like it

[wintry solar]

it's an issue with adding the flag in the wrong palce

[zealous glen]

The flag needs to be applied immediately to prevent other effects from trying to calculate with the card

At a time the card wouldn’t exist

[wintry solar]

the flag should be added in time with when the card is actually destroyed, just not in an event

[red flower]

that's a syntax error
also it should be lowercase

[zealous glen]

I disagree. The flag needs to be added before the card is destroyed

After the card is destroyed it’s easy to know it’s destroyed

But destruction happens inside Events

So after calculation has happened

Hence it needs to be flagged immediately

[wintry solar]

no

the destruction events aren't added immediately

there are other calculations that happen between checking for destruction and carrying out destruction

and adding the flag manually bypasses those incorrectly

[nova eagle]

yep, that did it... i missed the ' at the end of the text lol

thx

[zealous glen]

I mean if you’re using the automatic SMODS feature to remove cards, I suppose so. But it’s currently not handling that flag automatically

I think that’s just an argument in favor of SMODS needing to handle it

[split saddle]

wait i got lost... remove_playing_cards is a function that takes parameters, which ones?, do i have to set the getting_sliced flag or not?, what is the difference between this and using return {removed = true}?

[wintry solar]

I've never said smods shouldn't handle it

my point is that adding it manually is wrong

[zealous glen]

I never said you said it shouldn’t

[turbid maple]

is there a nice and quick way to temporarily disable some played cards while scoring

[red flower]

ignore the getting_sliced thing

context.remove_playing_cards is called when a playing card is getting destroyed

[zealous glen]

I mean, SMODS doesn’t automatically handle it, so not adding it is also wrong

Maybe it’s not a big issue if you use SMODS’ feature to remove cards

[wintry solar]

yeah because whoever added the functionality didn't do it properly 🙃

[zealous glen]

Since it’s built to remove cards at a good time

But it’s still an issue

[wintry solar]

it's like a one line change I think, I can test it now if you have an example of when it would be an issue

[zealous glen]

I added the functionality I wanted to. Other people edited it. No one raised those issues

I mostly wanted to track destroy effects outside of the automatic one, but the automatic one should be included for consistency

[zealous glen]

When would I think it’s an issue?

[wintry solar]

when not having getting_sliced would be an issue

[zealous glen]

When you create an Event to destroy a card at an arbitrary time

[split saddle]

wait that's not it.

i want my joker to delete random playing cards, but multiple copies of it try to destroy the same card twice. so i want a way to check if a card is getting destroyed before setting it for deletion again.

[wintry solar]

that's not what this conversation was about though

[zealous glen]

Ah wait actually

What’s the order of operations

Do all Jokers get calculated before setting the destruction?

[turbid maple]

card destruction always confused me

[red flower]

you can do the same thing as the copy one and just mark them with card.getting_destroyed_by_x or something

[zealous glen]

Balatro doesn’t have a robust system

[split saddle]

ok

[wintry solar]

they do

[zealous glen]

@wintry solar this is what I’m trying to avoid too

If you set the flag immediately you can avoid this

[turbid maple]

does smods ignore anything w/ getting_sliced set when calculating things?

[zealous glen]

If you wait then you can’t

I think most people would prefer that destroy effects don’t stack

[red flower]

yes

[zealous glen]

Hence the immediate flag shared by all mods

Instead of different mods using different flags and being incompatible

[red flower]

i dont like that the flag also disables calculations

[zealous glen]

Check Card.can_calculate

[wintry solar]

yeah if we're looking for a unique destruction flag it should be something else

[zealous glen]

There does need to be a flag to disable calculations, but maybe there should be two flags

[wintry solar]

adding getting_sliced would stop an effect such as "this card gives $3 when it is destroyed" from an enhancments

[zealous glen]

I agree it’s a logic error, but it could just manually check for debuff and not use Card.can_calculate

I made it a function so mods can add other checks

Like maybe if they move cards around, so cards don’t activate in the wrong zone

[turbid maple]

huh either guess my things happen to work by accident or I forgot to test my joker with dagger

[zealous glen]

Vanilla automatically sets the flag

And SMODS automatically checks for it

[turbid maple]

yeah and my joker's supposed to proc when destroyed

so dagger slicing it might not call its calculate function if im following

[red flower]

dagger and madness are the only ones afaik

[zealous glen]

If you or @red flower want to propose splitting the flag into two, I suggest responding to the issue I created last time we talked

[red flower]

i make my mod to be standalone to not deal with these things : )

[zealous glen]

Does it need SMODS

[red flower]

no joyousspring is lovely only

[turbid maple]

could there be a dedicated context thats called when the card itself is destroyed (even if its getting_sliced)

[red flower]

( :

i think a card destroyed but not sold context would be cool

[zealous glen]

I think getting_sliced shouldn’t stop effects that respond to destruction from triggering

[turbid maple]

yeah i think a lot of mods have their own patches for that

[zealous glen]

But Eremel suggested having two flags

[turbid maple]

whatd the flag be?

[zealous glen]

And none of them PRed SMODS

[Mushu shaming Mulan GIF]

[turbid maple]

I made an issue!

[red flower]

i already pr'd all the things i want to smods

[turbid maple]

wha can i not do gifs here

[wintry solar]

getting_sliced is fine on jokers with disabling calculations, it's just on playing cards that it's not clean

[red flower]

not anymore

[turbid maple]

😔

[zealous glen]

from PC

[zealous glen]

It should be consistent across cards

[red flower]

?

[zealous glen]

So if we want the flags to mean different things, there should be an immediate one and a slightly delayed one

Maybe

[zealous glen]

Try uploading a GIF directly

[wintry solar]

is there a reason can_calculate isn't passed the entire context?

[zealous glen]

I know there’s some way to do it

[zealous glen]

I asked that in my PR and no one commented on it

[turbid maple]

whats the usecase for "destroy but later" thats not "this thing needs to do something when destroyed"

[zealous glen]

I don’t understand your question

[turbid maple]

you said a flag for delayed destruction

[red flower]

animations mostly

you set getting _sliced before the event and destroy inside the event

[placid star]

how do you make custom functions? this doesnt want to work because JJOK isnt valid

[red flower]

add JJOK = {} at the beginning of the file

[zealous glen]

So, I was using getting_sliced to stop multiple effects from trying to destroy the same card, but also to stop effects from targeting a card when it wouldn’t exist (because destruction is done in Events)

The former needs to be done immediately

The latter should be done just alongside the destruction Event

[turbid maple]

hmm

[zealous glen]

I’m not sure this is the best approach, but it might bridge both goals

[turbid maple]

I forgor but does destroying a card reallt need to be in an event?

[zealous glen]

Alternatively you can just have effects that respond to destruction ignore the (unique) flag

[zealous glen]

Yes

[red flower]

you can do it immediately but it looks bad

like it will just disappear

[zealous glen]

😐 🫥

[red flower]

it's weird that there's no helper function for a food joker getting eaten

i wanted to make one for vanillaremade but i thought it would be confusing

[zealous glen]

How so

[red flower]

they all use the same code

[turbid maple]

and annoyingly long

[wintry solar]

hmmm, there are some bugs with this can_calculate check

[red flower]

why isn't there a :start_dissolve equivalent

[zealous glen]

I mean by that metric I think there’s a lot of weirder things

[wintry solar]

I think a util function to generally destroy a card might be useful to have too

[red flower]

good thing this is not a contest but a conversation

[zealous glen]

I don’t know how to reply to that

[red flower]

say im funny

[zealous glen]

im funny

[red flower]

thank you

[turbid maple]

hi funny

im void

[zealous glen]

Hi dad

[split saddle]

this has been mildly amusing to read but i need more help xdd

[red flower]

i agree btw

[zealous glen]

im funny

[split saddle]

how do you trigger something every time a card is destroyed

[turbid maple]

any card in general?

[zealous glen]

Take a look at Canio

[thorn flame]

workshopping

[turbid maple]

including jokers and stuff?

[wintry solar]

I think it just needs to be something like SMODS.destroy_card(card) right?

[turbid maple]

or playing cards specifically

[split saddle]

good idea

[zealous glen]

I have one to destroy one or more cards and automatically calculate effects of Jokers on them

[wintry solar]

oh it could accept a table too

[zealous glen]

It should be able to handle a set

[red flower]

i think most people would still use start_dissolve or shatter so as long as those call that

[zealous glen]

People will reimplement scoring because they didn’t read the wiki

[red flower]

i will make everyone copy my bad code patterns now

[turbid maple]

you mean people will ask on this channel how to reimplement scoring necauze theh didnt read the wiki

[zealous glen]

No

I mean people will reimplement scoring because they didn’t read the wiki

I’d rather they ask here first

But they won’t

This is about someone who IIRC implemented a function to poll Editions

[turbid maple]

oh so you mean people will reimplement scoring because they didnt read the wiki and not people will ask on this channel how to reimplement scoring becaude theh didnt read the wiki

[zealous glen]

I think it was polling something at least

[marble flint]

i mean tbf i take_ownership'ed m_mult to use a calculate function to make it dynamic (although the answer for m_bonus is different because this game's code Sucks)

[zealous glen]

And it wasn’t even the first time I saw people reimplement existing features because they didn’t read

Though most of the other instances are private

[red flower]

i read the entire wiki before starting my content mod

i read the entire manual before doing anything tbh

[zealous glen]

When I don’t know how to do something I check the wiki first

[wintry solar]

I like when people reimplement searching for editionless cards because that util function is buried in completely the wrong place and is entirely undocumented iirc

[zealous glen]

It’s easier to read the manual when you know it exists

[zealous glen]

That kind of thing also doesn’t help

I think part of the reason one person reimplemented a lot of stuff is because it’s undocumented

But also

[red flower]

i made the vanilla remade thing to understand how SMODS.blueprint_effect works tbh

[zealous glen]

They don’t use this chat or the SMODS’ one AFAIK

They just mod

[wheat pulsar]

hi i have a error with my joker when destroy the cards in the next round the hand bug an looks weird

[red flower]

are you using context.destroy_card?

[zealous glen]

Are you using the context to remove playing cards?

[zealous glen]

To be fair not my favorite utility function from SMODS

[red flower]

i think it's pretty cool

what's the problem

[wheat pulsar]

i used this function to destroy the cards

[zealous glen]

It overwrites the original color and doesn’t handle multiple Blueprint effects

[red flower]

use context.destroy_card and return { remove = true } instead

[zealous glen]

I think the first part is minor but it’s personally my bigger issue with it

The latter part is more relevant for a general modding audience

[red flower]

a helper function to combine effects would be very cool

[zealous glen]

But I can understand it being out of scope

[wintry solar]

wdym it doesnt handle multiple blueprint effects

[zealous glen]

It doesn’t nest them in extra for a single return table

[zealous glen]

@turbid maple another example of people reimplementing stuff

[red flower]

you can also use SMODS.calculate_effect

[turbid maple]

true..

[zealous glen]

I’ve struggled to use that before

Though not for a Blueprint-like

But for custom context handling

[wheat pulsar]

sorry but where i use the context.destroy_card?

[red flower]

check this example from sixth sense https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/591b7129f30d2ab2ea4b47782d004294fd94b440/src/jokers.lua#L1442

[nova eagle]

what is the context for exiting a blind?

[red flower]

context.end_of_round

i dont think there's one for the cashout screen

[nova eagle]

cool, thanks

[zealous glen]

@nova eagle you can do something for the cash out screen

[turbid maple]

did you remake every vanilla joker in smods for the sake of it

what the hell

[red flower]

❤️

[zealous glen]

It’s a great modding tool

[red flower]

i like helping

[nova eagle]

no worries, the card triggers when i want it to with end_of_round

[zealous glen]

We N’

[zealous glen]

I’ve mostly used this trick to reset some values IIRC

IIRC what I did was define a custom calc_dollar_bonus and return nil

[zealous glen]

We 🐸 chase the cheese @shut crater

[nova eagle]

im not making a money based joker

im working on a sort of riff raff type joker, where at the end of each blind it creates an egg

[zealous glen]

I’m aware

[turbid maple]

incredible

[zealous glen]

That’s what the nil is for

[turbid maple]

whys this called reddit jokers

[zealous glen]

You’re not calculating a dollar bonus

You’re just using it to execute some code at that time

[nova eagle]

because im making every joker suggestion i get on reddit

i see lots of good ideas there, and wanted to start putting them in game

[turbid maple]

ah

[nova eagle]

anyways,,, how come the joker isnt stopping at one joker?

[turbid maple]

also wow this is cursed i hate it but i will use it

[nova eagle]

something about not having a repitition count, but riff raff works fine with this code, so im confused

[zealous glen]

You made it create as many as possible

Wait no

My bad I misread

I should go to sleep

[red flower]

end_of_round is called multiple times add and context.main_eval

[maiden phoenix]

As someone who actually reads the utils.lua, i'm ashamed I didn't find it sooner 😔

[zealous glen]

why are people shooting fireworks

[red flower]

the shop utils should get documented too

[maiden phoenix]

All the utils are mine I'll eat all the yummy utils

[red flower]

noooo

[zealous glen]

what’s up with the French

[maiden phoenix]

In fact I shall promote them w my name

[nova eagle]

where here would i set it to only ever create eggs?

[zealous glen]

Just pass Egg’s key instead of telling it to create a common joker

  key = "j_egg"
}

[nova eagle]

i made that addition, and it went back to completely filling all joker slots with eggs

[maiden phoenix]

You want to create a single egg right?

[nova eagle]

yeah

this is what i got so far

[shut crater]

well you are calculating jokers_to_create as G.jokers.config.card_limit - (#G.jokers.cards - G.GAME.joker_buffer))

[maiden phoenix]

• You don't need jokers_to_create
• G.GAME.joker_buffer should be incremented by 1 only
• You don't need a for loop in your event, just SMODS func and the buffer

[shut crater]

which would be a way of finding the maximum number of jokers you could fit in the joker cardarea

[lofty sand]

if I want to make a joker that that triggers like two jokers (for example, add +4 mult, then add +10 chips in separate messages) how could I do that?

or can I even

[wheat pulsar]

sorry but i put the context.destroy_card and the return remove = true and now doesnt enter in the function

[maiden phoenix]

return {
  mult = 4,
  extra = {
    chips = 10
  }
}

oops don't forget the ,

[red flower]

context.destroy_card and context.pre_discard are not true at the same time

context.discard is however

[nova eagle]

so how exactly would i implement this?

[maiden phoenix]

Oops that wasn't a question mb

[wheat pulsar]

so i change the pre_discard to discard no?

[red flower]

probably, i didnt read the whole thing

[shut crater]

remove the line that calculates jokers_to_create
only increase G.GAME.joker_buffer by 1
remove the for loop from your event

[shut crater]

^

[wheat pulsar]

okk thanks!

[nova eagle]

sweet, that did the trick, thank you!

[gilded narwhal]

i'm def doing something wrong here

honestly because I'm not really sure on the different between blueprint_effect and calculate_effect

[rapid stag]

question - this is going to sound completely pointless, but would it be possible to make the main menu card regularly cycle through random objects instead of picking one or two and sitting on those? like if you kept sitting on the main menu, it would just endlessly cycle through every card object that isn't a playing card. although i guess i'd like to include face cards in that lineup, too

[glad osprey]

how do i do this correctly

[shut crater]

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

[glad osprey]

no niot that

how do i make it convert cards lol

its for enhancments

[shut crater]

do you want to apply an enhancement?

like heirophant or empress

[glad osprey]

yea

[shut crater]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/tarots.lua#L260

most of that code is just the flip animation though

[glad osprey]

why i gotta manually do it 😭

[shut crater]

excellent question

[glad osprey]

copying the way vanilla tarots define enhancments doesnt work

[red flower]

i think tarots should have a config to do it automatically

but i didn't check because ive never done it before : )

[gilded narwhal]

and this can do multiple cards at once?

Every time I try it just returns one effect

[wintry solar]

you want to put the returns from SMODS.blueprint_effect into SMODS.calculate_effect

seperately

[glad osprey]

eremal quick question

[gilded narwhal]

?

[glad osprey]

why doesnt this make my tarot card work

[shut crater]

I think you don't return

[gilded narwhal]

even if I don't it doesn't work

[glad osprey]

thats how the vanilla tarot's work

[wintry solar]

🤷‍♂️ I don't use vanilla automatic stuff

[glad osprey]

grah

[wintry solar]

you don't need the return

[gilded narwhal]

Well removing it didn't change anything so :/

[hybrid shadow]

crash says it expected <name> near function?

[wintry solar]

does your second target definitely have a return?

[red flower]

func = function()

[gilded narwhal]

I mean I'm just testing joker and cavendish

[hybrid shadow]

idk why i didnt catch that earlier tbh, thx

[wintry solar]

can you show the entire function?

[wintry solar]

you only blueprint joker2 if joker1 doesnt exist

[gilded narwhal]

oh

mb

I had a brainfart and forgot what elseif meant 😭

[glad osprey]

i got it!

[gilded narwhal]

and iirc does this not work on retriggers?

[glad osprey]

config = {max_highlighted = 2,mod_conv = "m_sgbs_rumpus"}

thats all you need lol

dont need an effect = "enhanced"

[wintry solar]

just put return nil, true at the end

[gilded narwhal]

???

[lofty sand]

wait what is the effect of your joker?

[gilded narwhal]

1 in 4 chance to copy the effect of both adjacent jokers

[lofty sand]

oh lmao I'm making a joker very simmilar to that, also having problems with it

[wild escarp]

I'm guessing context.joker_main should be replaced with something else when giving the tag (it currently doesn't give the tag), but what?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    local queens = 0
    local twos = 0
    local tag = false
    if context.cardarea == G.play then
        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
    end
    if twos > 0 and twos < 2 and queens > 0 and queens < 2 then
        tag = true
    end
    if context.joker_main and tag == true 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
    if context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
        for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
            if context.destroy_card and tag == true then
                if context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() == 2 and context.destroy_card:get_id() == 2 then
                    return
                    {
                        remove = true
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

[lofty sand]

with jokers that return stuff like chips and mult, mine works fine but when it tries to copy effects like sock and buskin, it seems to "retrigger" it instead of copying it lmao

functionally it's fine, it just doesn't look right at all

[gilded narwhal]

Yeah it's the same thing just very weird

[wintry solar]

oh you would need to return it if it's copying repetition effects

not use calc effect

[gilded narwhal]

what about those on-card effects?

Same thing?

[rustic swallow]

is there a way to check whether a pack wasn't skipped?

[gilded narwhal]

And if I do return then I can't do multiple at once

[wintry solar]

Yeah it would be better to return them, you can just nest extra ones in extra tables

[gilded narwhal]

Unless there's something I'm missing

Could I do like a for loop with a return in it?

Or would it just end after it reaches the first effect

[red flower]

it would end in the first return yes

[hybrid shadow]

crash says extra here is nil

[wheat pulsar]

i have a problem here i use the context.pre_discard to know if a pair of cards is discarded to later destroy them, so when i use context.discard then doesn't checks the pair and destroy all the selected discarted hand
but in the pre_discard doesnt update fine the numbers of card in my deck

i destroy the cards here

[wild escarp]

Anyone have some insight?

[faint yacht]

...what about "marking" cards in pre_discard and, when discard is called, do remove = true for the cards?

[hybrid shadow]

removed the limit part of it and it's still not working properly

[lofty sand]

could I have a joker that operates like blueprint get the sell value of the joker it's copying?

if so, how would I do that

[wheat pulsar]

let me check

[gilded narwhal]

genuinely how do I do this

[red flower]

card.sell_cost

[lofty sand]

oh fr

oh y'know, looking at swashbuckler would have been a good idea for that

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

wait no wrong message

#💻・modding-dev message

this one

[rapid stag]

bump

[wild escarp]

Anyone know why this code doesn't give an ethereal tag? Something with the context? Also, tag does in fact == true.

if context.after and context.cardarea == G.play and tag == true 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

[hybrid shadow]

idk whats wrong with this tbh

[shut crater]

Pretty sure stickers don't have config or ability the way that cards do

[digital sun]

how would you go about making a joker disable a suit like in the boss blinds
(if this is too complex for me ill just make them give 0 chips ig)

[hybrid shadow]

fixed it, the major issue is that stickers aren't a card. config still works, but the loc_var requires self.config.extra.limit rather than card.ability.extra.limit

random question but how do i test my vouchers to see if they work

[gilded narwhal]

wouldya look at that

[hybrid shadow]

nice

[hasty mist]

is it not possible to add multiple lines to a joker name?

[wild escarp]

It definitely is.

[hasty mist]

i tried using the same formatting as descriptions but that didn't work

[wild escarp]

Wait, I'm thinking description.

[hybrid shadow]

did you change the name to a table when doing so?

[hasty mist]

yeah

[faint yacht]

Doesn't Kino mess with the "name" to include additional stuff before description?

[red flower]

yes, copied from the one and only joyousspring

[red flower]

yeah that doesn't work

[hasty mist]

damn

how would i do this then

if i even can

[red flower]

do this in generate_ui
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/40e7f90f4a6b0e8db15fed29f43f08d6b2e34065/src/card_ui.lua#L260

[turbid maple]

well rats joker that's supposed to proc when destroyed really doesn't work with dagger slicing it

[red flower]

rip

[hasty mist]

hm

[hybrid shadow]

btw instead of {C:black} another thing that works is just closing the previous stylizing with {}

[hasty mist]

yeah i figured that out late in development

this is an old joker i made that im currently changing

[hybrid shadow]

ah

[hasty mist]

the idea is to have runic text (with a custom font, that im not dealing with right now) be on line one of the name, with an alphabetic translation under it

[red flower]

for the custom font you should wait for aikoyori's smods pr

[hybrid shadow]

i dont know of any commands in debugplus that work for this, at least not any that I can see from the help command

[red flower]

you can add it to the shop and buy it

you can probably redeem it with commands but idk how

[wintry solar]

Or do eval dp.hovered:redeem() when hovering it in collection

[hasty mist]

the font wont be done for a bit anyways, someone else is helping with that

so chances are it wont be done anyways by the time its merged

[wild escarp]

bump

[hasty mist]

im still not quite clear on how to implement this though

[red flower]

remove the cardarea check

[wintry solar]

Screenshot the whole function

And what object is it in?

[wild escarp]

That didn't change anything.

[wintry solar]

This is a joker?

[wild escarp]

Yes.

[wintry solar]

Tag is in fact, not true

[wild escarp]

Wouldn't tag have to be true for the removal of the card though? Because that still happens.

[wintry solar]

You set it to false every calculation step, context after will never call a joker with cardarea being g.play

[wild escarp]

So what should I do then?

[hybrid shadow]

any idea why the loc_vars for this voucher ends up giving a table in the description?

[wintry solar]

Do your check once in context before and save it to the card instead of a local variable

And then you don’t recalculate it dozens of times

[red flower]

something like this ?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then
        local queens = 0
        local twos = 0
        local tag = false
        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 twos < 2 and queens > 0 and queens < 2 then
            tag = true
        end
        if tag then
            card.ability.extra.created_tag = true
            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

    if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint and card.ability.extra.created_tag then
        if context.destroy_card:get_id() == 2 then
            return
            {
                remove = true
            }
        end
    end

    if context.after then
      card.ability.extra.created_tag = false
    end
end

[red flower]

because extra is a table?

[hasty mist]

i am so lost 😭

[hybrid shadow]

lemme grab a screenshot rq, its showing smth like 0x02571table

[red flower]

no i mean extra is a table

it's in the screenshot

[red flower]

where

[hasty mist]

basically the beginning

hold on though

[red flower]

oh i forgot some {}s here

[hasty mist]

im trying smth

ah

that would make sense

what's the correct implementation?

[red flower]

i edited it

[rugged helm]

how would i prevent the ante from going up with a joker?

i.e. when the boss blind is defeated how would i make the ante not go up

[hasty mist]

it looks like a function that can be put under a joker, am i misunderstanding? when i paste it, it seems like the formatting is off, and i crash when i open the game

[red flower]

hook ease_ante and return nil?

[hybrid shadow]

alr how do i call for a custom rarity's weight in a function

[hasty mist]

oh im just an idiot

yeah it works now

whoops

[hybrid shadow]

is it G.GAME.[prefix_rarity].weight?

[hasty mist]

tysm!! works great

this will be amazing

just have to wait for that smods pr for the font now

[sonic cedar]

is this a good place to ask wiki page questions or wrong channel

[hasty mist]

i believe so

[red flower]

for the modded wiki?

[sonic cedar]

yeah im trying to make a table bigger

[red flower]

https://discord.gg/7sytdZSp

[sonic cedar]

oh shit real

[hasty mist]

oh i thought you meant smods wiki

[rustic swallow]

is there a way to make a joker create a joker with a sticker?

[red flower]

something like this #💻・modding-dev message

[hasty mist]

what's the standard for adding fonts to a mod?

like

the file structure

[wheat pulsar]

i have a problem i use the context pre_discard to search pair with the same rank, then i mark then to in a context_discard destroy them, but they dont destroy well

i try some hours and didn't find solution

[hasty mist]

oh its just assets/fonts

[tight cobalt]

I've been struggling to make this enhancement have a center, so I can't put it into a loc_vars nor convert a card to a vintage card by tarot (the tarot card being named greed). I've admittedly used chatgpt to get the code working due to my lack of prior coding experience, so it may be weird, but the vintage card works correctly ingame. I just can't seem to access it.

[hasty mist]

Trying to get fonts working ingame, copied the code for handling it from aikoyori's shenanigans temporarily until it's added to smods, but i'm getting an error

[hybrid shadow]

bunp

[subtle hawk]

Yo how do I prevent this from triggering for every copy of the joker at the same time

Currently if I have more than one copy that's ready for triggering they all destroy the same consumable

Could I like, put them in queue somehow or smth

[lofty sand]

does anyone know the event for the little "-$(amount of money)" that appears whenever you spend money?
