no difference except the box is msmaller now

and while I'm at it

how do i add rounding

to the big container

get_user_sprite = function(xpos, ypos)
    xpos = xpos or 0
    ypos = ypos or 0
    return Sprite(0,0,1,1,G.ASSET_ATLAS["reddit_usertags"], {x=xpos, y=ypos})
end

get_user_row = function(user, contributions, xspos, yspos)
    return { n = G.UIT.R, config = {}, nodes = {
        { n = G.UIT.O, config = { object = get_user_sprite(xspos, yspos) }},
        { n = G.UIT.R, config = { padding = 0.2, rounding = 1 }, nodes = {
            { n = G.UIT.T, config = { text = user, scale = 0.3, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT} },
            { n = G.UIT.T, config = { text = table.concat(contributions, ", "), scale = 0.2, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT} }
        }}
    }}
end

SMODS.current_mod.extra_tabs = function()
    return {
        {
            label = 'Credits',
            tab_definition_function = function()
                return {n = G.UIT.ROOT, config = {
                    -- config values here, see 'Building a UI' page
                }, nodes = {
                    { n = G.UIT.C, config = { padding = .3, rounding = 1 }, nodes = {
                        get_user_row('u/ItsGraphax', {"Mod Developer"}, 0, 0),
                        get_user_row('u/TSAMarioYTReddit', {"Feelin' Lucky"}, 1, 0)
                    }
                }
                }}
            end,
        },
        -- insert more tables with the same structure here
    }
end

[red flower]

r = 0.1 or something in the config

[vast night]

whole code

[vast night]

k

[red flower]

they need to be in separate row nodes

[primal robin]

btw r, not rounding

[vast night]

w- h- a- t- k imma try

[vast night]

its rounding

[primal robin]

...nope?

Is it added by steamodded?

[red flower]

no it's r

[primal robin]

Always was r

[long sun]

hiya, one more question ^^

what pitch does the game's music play at?

like, in the code

[vast night]

like this?

get_user_row = function(user, contributions, xspos, yspos)
    return { n = G.UIT.R, config = { rounding = .1 }, nodes = {
        { n = G.UIT.O, config = { object = get_user_sprite(xspos, yspos) }},
        { n = G.UIT.R, config = { }, nodes = {
            { n = G.UIT.T, config = { text = user, scale = 0.3, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT} }
        },
        { n = G.UIT.R, config = { }, nodes = {
            { n = G.UIT.T, config = { text = table.concat(contributions, ", "), scale = 0.2, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT} }
        }}
    }}}
end

[daring fern]

70% speed and pitch I think.

[long sun]

grand, so pitch = 0.7?

will give that a go ^^ thanks

[open forum]

Is in_pool mandatory
Or is it already assumed it won't spawn a second time proceeding purchasing a given joker (without showman)

[daring fern]

No, if you don’t set the pitch it’ll do it by default.

[long sun]

oh icicicic! neat!

[red flower]

where did the C node go

[vast night]

wat

idk

am i so dumb

[red flower]

i needs to be

C = {
    R = {
       T
    },
    R = {
       T
    }
}

[sturdy compass]

It assumes so in_pool is not mandatory

[vast night]

oh ok

[clear yoke]

how can i make my joker show up ingame

[primal robin]

If you make it properly it already appear like any other joker

[clear yoke]

i dont know how to make it properly....

[sturdy compass]

Consult the docs

[clear yoke]

straight up

[primal robin]

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

[clear yoke]

im on the SMODS.Joker page

just dont know what to do from here

i also have this

[primal robin]

looks good excepf ot missing an atlas

[sturdy compass]

Doesn’t need one by default

[primal robin]

hm, okay

[long sun]

okay sorryyyyyy one more questionnnnnn

[turbid maple]

Calling SMODS.Joker will register the Joker thats a function

[sturdy compass]

Also do you have a metadata file

[long sun]

currently, my booster packs allow the player to select a Zodiac card, even if their consumable slots are full

[primal robin]

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

[sturdy compass]

You need one lol

[clear yoke]

oh 😭

[primal robin]

It's easy, just one json

[long sun]

i tried adding can_use to all the Zodiacs, only returning true if there were available slots, but to no avail

[primal robin]

okay, and?

[long sun]

is there a fix, or is this an issue with SMODS?

[clear yoke]

well i mean i made

[turbid maple]

and you see your mod loaded in the mods menu?

[sturdy compass]

Balatro dependency????

[clear yoke]

copied it from another mod earlier lmao

[sturdy compass]

Bruh lol

[primal robin]

lovely 0.7.1 good one tho

[turbid maple]

well how would you mod balatro if youre missing balatro...

[gaunt thistle]

it's not a bad idea

[sturdy compass]

Click on your mod and check if there’s an additions tab

[gaunt thistle]

I get what they're going for

[turbid maple]

okay and you loaded all that but your joker isnt showing up?

[clear yoke]

well i dont know where to look

[primal robin]

In collection

[turbid maple]

collections

[primal robin]

Should be last one

[primal robin]

Nope

[turbid maple]

uhhh

[clear yoke]

[turbid maple]

your joker definition isnt in some other file.. right?

[primal robin]

Are you actually loading a file with joker?

[sturdy compass]

What does your mod’s file structure look like?

[turbid maple]

oh

[primal robin]

main.lua please

[turbid maple]

its in Joker.lua

[sturdy compass]

Ah that’ll do it

[turbid maple]

youre not actually lpading that file

[sturdy compass]

Joker.lua isn’t being loaded

[turbid maple]

you told the mod loader to load main.lua

[clear yoke]

[sturdy compass]

We all on the same wavelength lmfao

[turbid maple]

main.lua isnt loading Joker.lua

[clear yoke]

now what line would i use to load it

[primal robin]

Casual: why my css isn't working? Oh bummer, it's not imported

[clear yoke]

like a function orr

[sturdy compass]

Do assert(SMODS.load_file(‘items/Joker.lua’)) in your main.lua

[clear yoke]

forgetting to import the module in ...

[sturdy compass]

I forgort an apostrophe

[primal robin]

Looks good

[clear yoke]

oh cause your using the iphone '

[sturdy compass]

Yeah lol

[clear yoke]

pro tip

hold down on the '

[sturdy compass]

I know

I’m just lazy

[open forum]

Is Blueprint compat also assumed?

[clear yoke]

alt f5'ing now

[primal robin]

Who cares? Use what you like

[sturdy compass]

No it isn’t

[clear yoke]

hate to break it

[sturdy compass]

The functionality is but blueprint_compat is false by default

[primal robin]

My IDE personally like "

[red flower]

add () at the end of that line

you need to call the file function

[sturdy compass]

Forgot about that whoops

[primal robin]

ops

[clear yoke]

[primal robin]

We did it

[turbid maple]

you did it!!!

[sturdy compass]

Hello World!

[turbid maple]

I also recommend that you ger DebugPlus mod

[slow brook]

How can I disable all vanilla jokers and make it a checkmark in my mod config

[red flower]

i told u : (

[slow brook]

oh yeah i forgor sorry probably didnt understand anything at all aswell

[clear yoke]

oh yeah my fav joker " "

[sturdy compass]

Legendary

[open forum]

Can I exclude blueprint_compat if the desired value is false then?

[primal robin]

"The "

[sturdy compass]

Yes

[open forum]

Fun

[red flower]

well it's not very straightforward

[sturdy compass]

Time to make a localization file lol

[red flower]

keep in mind blueprint_compat is just for the indicator it doesn't handle the actual compatibility

[clear yoke]

yep

[primal robin]

This one is really easy

[slow brook]

yeah especially when half of words in there are called pokemon_something and i have no idea where they come from and where do i need to have them and change them to a different name

[red flower]

they are looking at the value in their config
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-functions#modconfig_tab

[slow brook]

okay yeah that’s useful i probably will make some other config options thanks

[vast night]

ok wtf is meant here

british spelling

[red flower]

colour

[primal robin]

consumeables

localization

[open forum]

Where'd I find the context for a chance trigger

context.post_trigger?

[zealous glen]

the wiki lists all vanilla and some SMODS contexts

[red flower]

there's no context for a chance triggering

[zealous glen]

for lucky cards check https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/82fc15f3329540eb907c27c29f3f6a73535a3bbf/src/jokers.lua#L2657

[clear yoke]

how do i make the new joker follow the new locale file i made

[zealous glen]

@red flower hey N' how do I make a Joker that asks how N' is

[red flower]

are you having a stroke

[red flower]

as long as it has the same key (j_modprefix_key) it should use it

[brazen tusk]

🪞

[sturdy compass]

Can confirm since I had to add that myself 😭

[primal robin]

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

Actually good page

[zealous glen]

and by stroke let's just say… 🤤 🧠 🗑️

[vast night]

yea but what is british spelling

[red flower]

colour

[zealous glen]

aN'yways how are you N'

[red flower]

instead of color

[red flower]

im good hundred line is a good game

[vast night]

oooooooooh i thought that the hex should be british

[zealous glen]

N'ice

[analog spoke]

how do I get this to not crash 😭 I'm trying to make a simple DNA+ style effect, but I just can't lmao

[vast night]

ok two questions:

1. How do i remove some spacing there
2. How do i add a scroll bar

get_user_row = function(user, contributions, xspos, yspos)
    return ui_row({ maxh = 0.1 }, {
        ui_object(get_user_sprite(xspos, yspos), { padding = .2 }),
        ui_column({ padding = .2, r = .2, minw = 7, colour = HEX("2c3269ff") }, {
            ui_row({}, {
                ui_text(user, 0.3, G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, {})
            }),
            ui_row({}, {
                ui_text(table.concat(contributions, ", "), 0.2, G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, {})
            })
        })
    })
end

[vast night]

what crash

[zealous glen]

There are no scroll bars in vanilla

[vast night]

wait there aren't?

[red flower]

scroll bars are hard do not recommended

[vast night]

ok how should i do it then

[primal robin]

I almost maded one btw

[unborn bay]

you'd have to ask ui gods if you want a scroll bar

like mr handy himself

there he is right now

[zealous glen]

🫵

[primal robin]

[spice wadi]

with help from john s mods himself i created the nested table system for returning the effects from my joker separately, but is there a better way of giving the effects like that? since im restructuring it to change one of the values after a certain number of triggers, i want to be able to change that while the effects are applying but idk if thats easily possible with nested return tables

[zealous glen]

I don't think that's easily possible with or without nested return tables

[vast night]

nvm

ill just scrape that

they are crediited under the joker anyways

[analog spoke]

the effect I want is a simple "if hand contains exactly 2 cards, create a copy of both of them" you know, like 2 dnas taped together, lmao

[red flower]

can't you just change what you're nesting after a certain amount?

[spice wadi]

i can but i was wondering if there was a better method that would avoid that

but oh well

[red flower]

nope

[spice wadi]

time to torture my code

[analog spoke]

so, I guess, how would I make an effect that works like this without the crash?

[placid star]

i dont want to use a global variable from fear of interefence with deuplicate jokers but is there a way to have a card unique variable determine an atlas?

[open forum]

Damn I thought there was Chance trigger jokers

[placid star]

hm?

[red flower]

those make their own custom context but it's not very straightforward
except for lucky because that already has something

[analog spoke]

this effect crashed = #💻・modding-dev message
how would I make this effect not do that?

[red flower]

you should share the logs

[daring fern]

Put card.children.center.atlas = G.ASSET_ATLAS['modprefix_nameofatlas'] in update?

[analog spoke]

what logs? if you mean the crash, it is in the link, lol, I had already sent it earlier, lol

[placid star]

ahh okay thats alot more simple than what i thought of

[red flower]

oh i didnt see it

are you sure it's related to your code? doesn't seem like it to me

[daring fern]

If you had a soul you would also do card.children.floatingsprite.atlas

[placid star]

i do not but thats good to know!!

[analog spoke]

I mean, the crash happens whenever I use this effect, so, I assume it is?

if not, it's strange this is it's only occurance

anyway, I'm going to my room to cry, as I've just realized my gf broke up with me

[red flower]

uhh try adding G.playing_card + 1 when you copy_card the second card

[olive barn]

thats rough buddy

[red flower]

omg im so sorry

[zealous glen]

I'm sorry

[sturdy compass]

Wow that's tough :(

[gaunt thistle]

wtf I'm sorry

[primal robin]

[clear yoke]

how do i make a card use a custom font i uploaded (i have the Language.lua file and the .ttf in my MOD/assets/fonts dir)

[primal robin]

Fonts support added recently (or not)

[red flower]

i would wait for this to be merged
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/684

[clear yoke]

[primal robin]

No font for now

[zealous glen]

how are you

[clear yoke]

how do i make the joker come pre-unlocked

[daring fern]

discovered = true

[clear yoke]

    cost = 1,
    config = { extra = { chips = 10, h_size = 0 }, }, unlocked = true, discovered = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
```?

[daring fern]

I think so.

[clear yoke]

what resolution should i make my atlas

[primal robin]

Every card is 71x95, 2x is 142x90

[glass scaffold]

Unless you're me, in which you make it 710 x 950 because you don't wanna lose the details.

[zealous glen]

also cards have at least a 1 pixel transparent border

[unborn bay]

literally why

[glass scaffold]

-# Please stay with 71 x 95. It's so much easier.

[zealous glen]

so usually Jokers use 69x93

[unborn bay]

what fucking detail

😭

are you trying to make your cards 1 billion ounts hd????

[zealous glen]

they need to see the pores on Jimbo's face

[unborn bay]

this is a pixel art game

[zealous glen]

like those Spongebob scenes

[glass scaffold]

I used my VRoid models for the textures, so I didn't want it to be pixelated (like my last version).

[primal robin]

4k balatro gaming?

[glass scaffold]

1st off, wow.
2nd off, maybe.

[spice wadi]

i have this setup currently where it triggers repeatedly, subtracting a dollar each time
every 5 triggers, it increases the price (which does work), but in the same hand it doesnt take the increased price into account, is that a quirk with the way calculations work or am i doing smth wrong

would it be better to just make a copy of the table with the increased price in the loop actually

[red flower]

yes, once you return the value it's fixed

[clear yoke]

balatro mod devs jamming out to the menu theme:

[spice wadi]

im losing my mind

[red flower]

i have balatro muted :3

[sturdy compass]

Not the papyrus joker 😭

[primal robin]

While i'm restarting game a bunch of times, i just open balatro ost on youtube

Really like shop theme, I'm like really in shop

[sleek cliff]

ok, so how should I set the judgment-like tarot to only create a certain type of joker

[clear yoke]

how can i change the menu music

and menu bg shader

(im looking through cryptid's implementation and cant find anything)

[zealous glen]

I don't understand people who play games on mute

except people who have issues with repetitive music

[red flower]

i dont, but i have it muted for development

[zinc forum]

Playing other music in the background tbh, I do that quite a lot

Flip flopping between game music and my own

[red flower]

create an ObjectType

[zealous glen]

anyways N' do you know how I could make localization that only loads if you have a setting in your config checked

[clear yoke]

i usually play with music off and just play whatever if the music gets repetitive

[clear yoke]

but yeah how ^ ^

[red flower]

no idea no

[spice wadi]

i did that
this joker might be the hardest one ive done so far
i think i might hate it now

out of spite

[primal robin]

This is acutally more advanced one

[clear yoke]

[short girder]

so i have the context set up
but how would i turn a playing card's number to another (ex: turn all aces into 5s, yadayada)

[wild escarp]

Would it be possible to make a voucher that doubles the likelyhood of getting wheel of fortune from arcana and shops, and one that gives wheel of fortune the ability to give negative edition?

[zinc forum]

Looking at Cryptid, it checks if you're on the main menu and a bunch of config stuff

[primal robin]

If you want to change background shader, you need override current one

[red flower]

i copied it from cryptid
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/1f60413b8a13267634fa8e9945dfa37358f40c04/src/general_ui.lua#L604

[zinc forum]

In your case it should be as simple as adding ```lua

select_music_track = function()
    return G.STAGE == G.STAGES.MAIN_MENU
end,```

To your SMODS.Sound()

[primal robin]

And also syncing if needed

[zinc forum]

Anyways does anyone know if I can ban the small and big blinds in challenges

Or rather if I can do it in the challenge declaration or if I need to patch some code

[red flower]

first one is hard because tarots don't have weights
second one is just taking_ownership or patching wheel or hooking poll_edition to remove the noneg flag

[clear yoke]

?

[sleek cliff]

ok, how do I do that then

[wild escarp]

So first one is potentially potentially possible, just probably not worth the effort?

[clear yoke]

now how would i point it to the new ogg file i have

[primal robin]

path =

[clear yoke]

-# where...

[red flower]

https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/4c9883d272a813f0cc7f9872694ef07877324896/togastuff.lua#L107

[primal robin]

no wiki page for smods.sound wtf

[sleek cliff]

also, for some reason the tarot I just made is still making the Fool tarot

[red flower]

i mean i rewrote the joker rarity system to accept individual weights so it depends of what you consider worth

[zinc forum]

SMODS.Sound({
    key = "your_song",
    path = "your_song.ogg",
    select_music_track = function()
        return G.STAGE == G.STAGES.MAIN_MENU
    end,
})```

Should do the job

[clear yoke]

peak

[red flower]

? https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Sound

[primal robin]

I'm just blind

[wild escarp]

Yeah, probably not worth it for me, thanks for the info though.

[short girder]

8 in 7 wiki pages are drawn face down

[primal robin]

bummer

[clear yoke]

didnt someone say balatro auto-pitches the music down to 70%

can i just pitch my ogg file up to 130% then

to counter it

[primal robin]

Just set pitch = 1

[zinc forum]

That's what I did

[clear yoke]

if this works im going to be

oh my god

im

[zinc forum]

I did not realize I could justuse the pitch x)

[primal robin]

[unborn bay]

wait what you can do that

[clear yoke]

(for those wondering)

[zinc forum]

Question becomes does it sync now

[primal robin]

Guys

98%

It syncs by default

[zinc forum]

Ok better question, does it desync over time x)

[primal robin]

If length is different then yes, I guess

[sleek cliff]

so put the object type table in the Tarot file, but how should I put that table in the code, in the add card?

[clear yoke]

where is the cryptid menu shader m.fs?

[red flower]

you put the type key in set

[placid star]

whats the context to retrigger jokers? i have the feature on btw

[sleek cliff]

ohhh the table is a separate key oki

[slate bison]

im tring to set up a joker that cheks to see if the hand played has already been played this round, any help on how i can do that?

[faint yacht]

context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card ~= card

[wanton badger]

how are custom challenges coded? i wanna make a basic software that can custom make challenges

[red flower]

this joker does that (ignore the things outside calculate)
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/1f60413b8a13267634fa8e9945dfa37358f40c04/src/jokers/99_01Effect.lua#L38

[placid star]

so if were checking for a joker retrigger and not retriggering a joker then we'll retrigger a joker..?

[clear yoke]

hate to break it to you

[shut crater]

(not that it matters but 1 * 70% * 130% != 1)

[slate bison]

oh nice ill take a look

thx

[faint yacht]

not context.retrigger_joker is to not count if this Joker is being retriggered.

[short girder]

^^ :]

[clear yoke]

im confused i wanna just recolor the balatro background and speed it up

[placid star]

OHHH

[clear yoke]

i know cryptid does it

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/4c9883d272a813f0cc7f9872694ef07877324896/items/joker.lua#L499-L506

[clear yoke]

but how can i do it

[sleek cliff]

what do I put as the default in the ObjectType

[primal robin]

You need pass variables related to speed and color to shader

[faint yacht]

"default" is the fallback item of the pool.

[red flower]

whatever you want the player to find if they already have all of them

[sleek cliff]

ohhh

oki

[clear yoke]

is there a SMODS.Shader?

[primal robin]

Yes

[clear yoke]

oh peak

ill look for the docs then

                    { name = "colour_1",   ref_table = G.C.JOY,  ref_value = "EFFECT" },
                    { name = "colour_2",   ref_table = G.C,      ref_value = "BLACK" },
                },
            },
        })
```?

[red flower]

yes

[clear yoke]

W thx

😭

[red flower]

you need to do it in a hook

after SPLASH_BACK is created

[clear yoke]

explain this to me like im an idiot

[sleek cliff]

Ok, the TARDIS IS working, but ONLY creating Jimbos

[red flower]

you see how I call it in Game:main_menu? well you need to append your code at the end of that function so the game creates all the graphics first and then you change them

more on hooks: https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/

[clear yoke]

mmhm and where would i add that hook in my code

[primal robin]

Anywhere

[placid star]

bruh is this balanced?

[sturdy compass]

no LOL

[primal robin]

Like no

[placid star]

bruh

[primal robin]

Even for legendary too powerful

[clear yoke]

cryptid exotic:

[placid star]

what abt 0.05X increase?

[clear yoke]

and how do i make a hook

[clear yoke]

0.001X

[slate bison]

ok im still confused how do i check if a hand has already been played in the current round?

[placid star]

that seems ass...

[sleek cliff]

idk if 0.001, id say 0.02X

[primal robin]

local game_main_menu_ref = Game.main_menu
function Game:main_menu(...)
  local result = game_main_menu_ref(self, ...)
  -- Your code here
  return result
end

Basically it's extending a functions

But for some reason everyone call it hook

Don't like this name personally

[sturdy compass]

Something to keep in mind with Lua is everything is a variable, including functions

[primal robin]

If you're JS dev nothing new

[sturdy compass]

So by that logic, you can make function definitions hold different code on the fly

[primal robin]

With exception of missing basically any useful function for common actions

[sleek cliff]

this is the code for the tarot and the Object type table, onlt half working

[clear yoke]

so @red flower im looking at your example, how would i change the menu colors

or anyone else who can help for that matter

[sturdy compass]

I can help with his one. You would change it via this function. In my case, I pre-defined my colors as globals via patch (MXMS_PRIMARY and MXMS_SECONDARY)

This is within a Game.main_menu() hook

[red flower]

change G.C.JOY for G.C and in the ref value put the color you want

if you want a custom color you need to define it somewhere

[clear yoke]

soo

                    { name = "colour_1",   ref_table = G.C,  ref_value = "#00ff00" },
                    { name = "colour_2",   ref_table = G.C,      ref_value = "#ff0000" },

[red flower]

no

[sturdy compass]

hex values won't do you any good here

[clear yoke]

wait does it go off decimal

[red flower]

it needs to be a defined color in G.C

[clear yoke]

[red flower]

(or any other table)

[rain atlas]

forwarding this since it seems to be a broader issue, people are saying this is a highest priestess crash

[red flower]

you can do G.C.colorname = HEX("FF0000") just before

[clear yoke]

        G.C.colorname = HEX("FF0000")
        self.title_top:emplace(newcard)
        self.title_top:align_cards()
        G.SPLASH_BACK:define_draw_steps({
            {
                shader = "splash",
                send = {
                    { name = "time",       ref_table = G.TIMERS, ref_value = "REAL_SHADER" },
                    { name = "vort_speed", val = 300 },
                    { name = "colour_1",   ref_table = G.C,  ref_value = G.C.colorname },
                    { name = "colour_2",   ref_table = G.C,      ref_value = G.C.colorname },
                },
            },
        })

``` im missing something arent i

[wanton badger]

i made a deck thats just all jokers

wait wrong channel

[red flower]

ref_value has to be "colorname"

[sturdy compass]

it should be ref_value = 'colorname'

lol

[primal robin]

Isnt this thing should be set every frame?

[clear yoke]

yeah it uhh

still

blue and red

[red flower]

that's why it takes from a ref_table

[sturdy compass]

Are you running your code in the hook?

[clear yoke]

you know what

it might help

if i assert

the file

[sturdy compass]

lol

get used to it, you're gonna have to do that a lot

[clear yoke]

dont mind what i named the file

but uhh

gulp

[red flower]

it's telling you to play my mod

[sturdy compass]

play JoyousSpring

[primal robin]

[red flower]

you're probably copying something you shouldn't

[clear yoke]

yeah i just got rid of some stuff

maybe too much

[rain atlas]

for some reason i read this as JoyousSperg lmao

[red flower]

can you screenshot the whole code pls

[rain atlas]

ctrl+C should copy to clipnote on crash menu

[clear yoke]

local game_main_menu_ref = Game.main_menu
function Game:main_menu(change_context)
        G.C.colorname = HEX("FF0000")
        G.SPLASH_BACK:define_draw_steps({
            {
                shader = "splash",
                send = {
                    { name = "time",       ref_table = G.TIMERS, ref_value = "REAL_SHADER" },
                    { name = "vort_speed", val = 300 },
                    { name = "colour_1",   ref_table = G.C,  ref_value = 'colorname' },

            },
        })
end

[sturdy compass]

You're not running your main menu ref

[red flower]

i said screenshot because reading code on mobile is a pain

[sturdy compass]

put a game_main_menu_ref(self, change_context) above where you're making your color

OH NO IT WORKED

[sleek cliff]

no its FIREBLU from OG Doom

[placid star]

what it do?

[hot granite]

it's just a big blind, small number atm because got it on first round

[placid star]

WHAT HOW YOU DO THAT

[hot granite]

it's like a wall blind

[bleak crane]

how would i check if a arcana pack is skipped using a joker

[placid star]

context.skipping_booster

[bleak crane]

wouldnt that be any booster pack tho,?

[placid star]

oh yeah youd have to check card.config for the set

[wheat jewel]

trying to make a specific numbered card get destroyed but it doesn't happen in my code atm, does anyone have any pointers on what to fix?

[sleek cliff]

anyways, I need help because this is just printing a base Jimbo instead of the ones I want it to

[placid star]

i dont think you need half as much code as that tbh

[bleak crane]

not quite sure what this means

[clear yoke]

eyyy

[bleak crane]

would card = self be what i change?

[red flower]

try modprefix_key for the set

[wheat jewel]

trying to make it to where if a 7 and a 9 are played, a nine gets removed and adds to a stacking mult

[red flower]

context.card is the booster opened

[placid star]

check the config table of context.card for the booster type, if its arcana then do what you want

[primal robin]

He did the balatro shader thing

[red flower]

there should be a mod that combines all title screen colors that you have into one

[placid star]

if context.destroy_card then
local hasSeven = false
local hasNine = false
for i,v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
  if v:get_base() == 7 then hasSeven = true
  elseif v:get_base() == 9 then hasNine = i end
end
if hasSeven == true and hasNine ~= false then
  return {
    destroying_card = G.play.cards[hasNine],
    remove = true
  }

[red flower]

you don't need the destroying_card return it doesn't do anything

[placid star]

i tried okay 😭

[red flower]

you need to check if context.destroy_card is the card you want to destroy

[bleak crane]

sry if im dumb im rly new to this but i have 0 idea what to actually put in the config area or in the calculate function

[sleek cliff]

when I do this, it crashes with something completely different, but when the keys are the same it just does NOT work

[bleak crane]

would i just put context.card = arcana in the config area ??

[placid star]

no theres more to it

[wheat jewel]

where can i read the documentation to help with destorying cards?

[placid star]

2 secs

[placid star]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[placid star]

howww 😭

[red flower]

hmmm no idea then lol
are you sure the keys are correct?

[placid star]

look for context.card.config.center.type == 'Arcana'

[wheat jewel]

where would i put context.destory_card == 9?

[sleek cliff]

could it be the quotations??? no way tho

[placid star]

key = 'j_yourmodprefixhere_jokerkey', not set or type

[red flower]

i mean the joker keys

[red flower]

it's a bit more complicated than that, context.destroy_card is a card object not a number

[sleek cliff]

oh

[red flower]

in this case it is set they want to make an objecttype

[red flower]

yeah they key is super wrong lol

[placid star]

no the key should be 'doc1'

[wheat jewel]

so far i'm checking for if it's wanting to destory a card and then doing checks for if a hand contains a 7 and a 9 and then destory 9s and add to mult

[sleek cliff]

ohhhh

[wheat jewel]

don't know if i'm doing it correclty or not

[placid star]

then when creating the key should be 'j_jmbowho_doc1'

[placid star]

does it work?

[bleak crane]

wha,,

[clear yoke]

went to change my joker atlas and uhm

[bleak crane]

so like this?

[placid star]

no...

send the whole calculate func

[wheat jewel]

editing it for now but i'll let you know

[bleak crane]

i havent written the calc function yet

im confused on where to even start

[red flower]

it might work if after that and you add context.destroy_card == context.scoring_hand[hasNine]

but i havent read the whole code

[sleek cliff]

so change the keys in the jokers themselves or in the table?

[placid star]

what are you trying to do

[red flower]

the jokers, delete the j_modprefix

[sleek cliff]

oki

[placid star]

when creating a joker make it the short key, for example doc1, then when calling on that joker elsewhere use j_yourmodprefix_doc1

[placid star]

planet has its own text styling {C:planet} as does {C:tarot}

[bleak crane]

oh ok

[sleek cliff]

oki, tamnk

[placid star]

give me a minute ill just write a calc function for you my head hurts too much

[bleak crane]

oh ok,

[wheat jewel]

let me share it rn

[red flower]

no i mean that i didnt read the whole screenshot because im playing a game :3

[sleek cliff]

OK, TARDIS works now, gotta fix why it still uses the Fool texture and not the one I made

[placid star]

calculate = function(self,card,context)
  if context.skipping_booster then  
    if context.card.config.center.type == 'Arcana' then
      for i = 1, card.ability.extra.cards do
        SMODS.add_card({set = 'Planet'})
      end
    end
  end
end

then put cards = 2 in config = {extra = {}}

[open forum]

Wait for the atlas if you're doing one big one instead of indiviual
How do you fetch for pos = { x = 0, y = 0 } for a specific art etc etc

[wheat jewel]

ahhhh that's fairrr

[short girder]

hi!!!

[placid star]

use set_base()

[sleek cliff]

the Tarot sized are X 63 and Y 93, or are they the same size as the jokers?

[rapid stag]

question, i just want to make sure i'm reading this right because i'm looking at this function definition feeling like i'm going insane, but if i make an SMODS.Edition with the property always_scores = true, this will trigger this condition on calculate, right?

[placid star]

u can make them any size you want but thats correct for vanilla

[red flower]

0 0 is the card in top left corner 1 0 is the card to the right if that
0 1 is the card below that

[short girder]

okay!!!

[red flower]

yes

[placid star]

btw it to turn a card into a king of hearts for example it would be playing_card:set_base('H_K')

[red flower]

it's just a bunch of nil checks in one line

[open forum]

🧐 So if it's a 5x5 Atlas
witdth of 71 * 5
Height of 95 * 5 innit

Then double it for 2x

[rapid stag]

yeah, i'm kinda just derping out

[wheat jewel]

getting crashes atm and it's at the line that checks for a 7 that brings an error

[red flower]

:3

[placid star]

oh shit theres a better one????!?!??

i fucken hate set_base()

[red flower]

yeah

[sleek cliff]

strange because its printing the fool instead of the TARDIS I made

[bleak crane]

if i wanted to add 2 planet cards would i just add the add_card thing twice

[placid star]

why... just do this, you dont need to copy all the vanilla stuff lmao

[sleek cliff]

yes

[bleak crane]

ok cinema

[placid star]

no, the for loop generates 2, or how many card.ability.extra.cards is

[sleek cliff]

Only cause its nice for organization :)

but i'll try that

[placid star]

it might not be efficient but i just have a unique atlas for EVERY sprite i have, its just alot easier for me sicne i hate deciphering pos ={} lmao

[wheat jewel]

the joker no longer causes a crash but it isn't destroying the nine unfortunately

[placid star]

this is my calc for a joker that does something similar, idk just compare them i guess

[open forum]

context.blueprint?

[placid star]

yup for blueprint and brainstorm

[wheat jewel]

so does the context.full_hand[1] indicate to the game that it wats to check if the hand has a ace (aka a 1)

[open forum]

What's it for

[placid star]

no, in my case it deestroys the first card in the fullhand table, being the leftmost card in any hand

[placid star]

blueprint and brainstorm

[open forum]

oh

[wheat jewel]

what would i do if i wanna remove a specfic numbered card

[placid star]

u need to find that card before hand

[bleak crane]

btw would skipping a celestial pack be if context.card.config.center.type == 'Celestial' then then?

[placid star]

yeah

[bleak crane]

ok sick

[placid star]

i think

if thats the type for planet packs then yeahj

[wheat jewel]

with the if statements i had?

[sleek cliff]

its STILL producing the Fool

[wheat jewel]

cuz thats how i did it

to check for a nine and seven

[placid star]

hmm okay send the code again

i dont want to scroll up

[wheat jewel]

ok

[open forum]

not context.blueprint is checking if the original joker is trigered?

[short girder]

would this work (i assume not)

[open forum]

anyways

[bleak crane]

hh where do i put this line

[placid star]

in this hasNine doesnt have a number value

so make it i

[bleak crane]

i thought itd go in the config table but that just crashes the game

[placid star]

config = {extra = {cards = 2}}

[bleak crane]

oh

OH YEAH sorry im tired

[placid star]

yeah pretty much i think

[wheat jewel]

so do i change the check for hasSeven and hasNine?

did it

[placid star]

yeah

then in the if change hasNine == true to hasNine ~= nil or wtv the original value is

[gilded narwhal]

^

[wheat jewel]

i'll see if this fixes anything

[placid star]

this is how i retrigger jokers to the left and right

[gilded narwhal]

I think this only works if you're retriggering another joker

Like the and not retrigger_joker

I want a joker that retriggers itself

[placid star]

then remove the not context.retrigger_joker

i think

[wheat jewel]

It worked!!!

now i gotta make the build up for mult work properly

[short girder]

yum :]

[placid star]

remove the return, remove assert

just do if context... SMODS.change_base

[short girder]

okay!!!

[short girder]

like this??

[placid star]

yeahbut nil wont work for the suit

[gilded narwhal]

This didn't work I don't think

[short girder]

then what should i do?? i dont wanna change the suit

[placid star]

check the card suit before hand

local suit = playing_card.base.suit

[placid star]

maybe context.retrigger_joker?

i think its coded so that it cant retrigger itself

[gilded narwhal]

Oh that's fun

Hold on

[analog spoke]

I've returned, time to get back on this, lol

[bleak crane]

uh

[placid star]

show the whole joker code

[bleak crane]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'observer',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'The Observer',
        text = {

            "{C:planet}Cards{} every time an {C:tarot}Arcana",
            "{C:tarot}Pack{} is skipped"
        }
    },
    config = {extra = { cards = 2 }},
    rarity = 1,
    atlas = 'kamisjokers',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 1 },
    soul_pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
    cost = 4,

                    SMODS.add_card({set = 'Planet'})
                end
            end
        end
    end
}

[short girder]

oh..

[analog spoke]

which one was line 540?

[placid star]

this also doesnt change a specific card i just noticed

[bleak crane]

if context.card.config.center.type == 'Arcana' then

[short girder]

oh yeah

uhm how would i do that if i wanna change all cards of a rank on the played hand

[placid star]

context.card.config.center.type is valid, i tested it

[gilded narwhal]

okay for some reason steamodded really doesn't want jokers to retrigger themselves

Is there a way to do it at all

[placid star]

patch smods

[lucid owl]

why is this custom color muted when added to G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS? pic 2 is when in LOC_COLOURS, pic 3 is when set with a {V:1} color variable

[placid star]

or multiply it

[bleak crane]

[red flower]

try removing the {}

[bleak crane]

not rly sure why its crashing then

[placid star]

wait no i tested with open_booster

[lucid owl]

still the same

[placid star]

doesnt check for card

[red flower]

weird

[analog spoke]

yeah, no :< didn't work

[bleak crane]

how do i fix it,,

[lucid owl]

guess i'll stick with using {V:1} lol

[red flower]

context.booster instead of context.card

not documented

[placid star]

there ya go

[sleek cliff]

idk why, but its still printing hte fool instead of this tarot

[bleak crane]

like this?

[placid star]

did you set the joker to that atlas?

[red flower]

yes

[sleek cliff]

wdym?

[placid star]

paste the joker code

[red flower]

i mean in the line local copy_card2 = etc add + 1 before the closing )

[short girder]

yah...

[analog spoke]

ahh, ok

[analog spoke]

like this?

[red flower]

yes if that doesn't work i dont know lol

[bleak crane]

new crash

[placid star]

    v:change_base(params go here)
end```

[analog spoke]

😭

what is this pointing to, anyway?

[placid star]

atlas = 'atlasnamegoeshere' in the joker

[red flower]

no idea lol that's why i didn't know if it was even from your mod

[wild escarp]

Would there be a way to return +chips and +mult, then return +chips again and xmult if a certain chance is rolled?

[sleek cliff]

OH I FORGOT TO EVEN SET THE ATLAS LAMOO

[red flower]

ok, try context.booster.type

[wild escarp]

This is what I have, but that does one or the other.

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then
        if pseudorandom('cyan') < (G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1) / card.ability.extra.odds then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.mega_chips,
                x_mult = card.ability.extra.mega_mult
            }
        end
        return {
            chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
            mult = card.ability.extra.mult
        }
    end
end

[red flower]

add an extra field to one of the returns if the chance hits

[sleek cliff]

there it is

[red flower]

like this

return {
    mult = 10,
    extra = chance_hit and { mult = 20 } or nil
}

[short girder]

uhm

[analog spoke]

so, I looked in the search, and found one other person who had a similar issue, hmm
#💻・modding-dev message

[placid star]

playing_card was an example

put it in the for loop and do suit = v.base.suit

        end
    end
}

doesnt crash now, but it does nothing

[short girder]

would changing v:change_base to v:SMODS.change_base work

it wouldnt

[placid star]

oh yeah thats it

[short girder]

"expected arguments near '.' "

[placid star]

what line of the code

[short girder]

v:SMODS.change_base

[red flower]

can you add print(context.booster) after skipping_booster and send the log?

[placid star]

and it doesnt like v:change_base?

idk

lmao

[red flower]

SMODS.change_base(v, suit, rank)

[short girder]

ahhh

lets see

so like this?

[bleak crane]

what log? like where is it

[red flower]

if you don't want to change the suit it should be nil and the ranks are strings like 'K' and 'Q'

[red flower]

okay but wouldnt using v both times just convert them back into their original ranks

[red flower]

oh sorry it's kind not type lol

[short girder]

cause like there's no errors now but its just... not doing anything

[red flower]

i dont know what the effect is i havent been following the convo

[short girder]

convert all kings into queens and vice versa before hand scored

basically a rank version of midas mask but for specific cards

[lucid owl]

how can you check if a card is flipped?

as in, checking if it's face down

[red flower]

try

if v:get_id() == 13 then SMODS.change_base(v, nil, 'Queen') end
if v:get_id() == 12 then SMODS.change_base(v, nil, 'King') end

i think i was wrong with the rank key as well

[red flower]

card.facing == "Back"

[analog spoke]

does anyone have an alternate way of doing this then? lol, maybe it'd be better to, just, work with a fresh slate here, lol

for making a DNA copy which does it for when your hand contains exactly 2 cards, instead of 1

copying each individual played card

[red flower]

i would copy DNA again and then add the stuff for the second card step by step until it crashes

so you know what it is

[analog spoke]

mhh

well, I don't think it helps that I don't fully understand the base dna code, lol

I'm kinda just copying what seems nessecary lol

you know, I think I may have lost the art of asking stupid questions to gain more knowledge, lol, I'm still a noob a little here, I should be asking basic stuff from time to time

like, what is the purpose of this part? what is it doing?

[red flower]

no idea

:p

[analog spoke]

lmao

[short girder]

btw i somehow broke this joker's description and i have no idea how to fix it

[red flower]

remove the ,C:white

[analog spoke]

if you meant for it to have the "xmult" appearance, you want the first C replaced by an X

so it'd be {X:mult,C:white}

[short girder]

i didnt though

originally it was that

[short girder]

thanks you!!

[analog spoke]

like, to continue this, what DOES G.playing_card refer to here? is it all card's in played hand? one specific card? I really want to know the tools at my disposal here better so I can make cooler effects ! :3

what does the "and" mean in that? it takes the playing card and creates an exact copy of it that is one higher and the value is set to both of them? I don't understand, lol, how it's, like, a number var and a table at once?

[analog spoke]

what does G.playing_card mean in general? is it like how other_card works? where it depends on contexts?

[red flower]

I'm guessing G.playing_card is the amount of playing cards, it's a number

and means that if G.playing_card exists then it adds 1

else it sets it to 1

but I've never seen it other than in DNA

[analog spoke]

in that case, wouldn't just (G.playing_card + 1) or 1 work?

[analog spoke]

oh, interesting

[red flower]

no, that would crash when you do nil + 1

[analog spoke]

oh, lmao, good to know, lol

[analog spoke]

oooo, just had an idea then, maybe I can reference the code from the cryptid spectral card, maybe that's a safer/simpler one to work with code wise?

[red flower]

maybe?

[sleek cliff]

now to make a whole new enhancement

[analog spoke]

hehehe, so, I managed to make a dna joker which made 2 copies of one played card, now to make it work on each individually :3

[analog spoke]

whuh 😭 ok, so, now, opposite issue, lmao
it is making TWO copies of each of the 2 cards

the math is not mathing to me

[red flower]

did you restart the run

[analog spoke]

omg... thank you 🤦‍♀️

most meaningless combo, lmao

[analog spoke]

it works now btw :3 thankuu

[wild escarp]

Can someone help me with this joker code? It doesn't add chips after the hand is played, the sound plays when the hand is played, instead of when the cards are destroyed, and it double adds chip_gain to chips (hence the / 2).

config = { extra = { chip_gain = 20, chips = 0, addchips = false } },

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chip_gain, card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.addchips } }
end,

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then
        local toDestroy = 0
        for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
            if context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() < 9 then
                toDestroy  = toDestroy + 1
                card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + toDestroy * card.ability.extra.chip_gain / 2
            end
        end
    end

    if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
        if context.destroy_card:get_id() < 9 then
            return
            {
                remove = true,
                play_sound('slice1', 0.96 + math.random() * 0.08),
                extra = card.ability.extra.addchips and {
                    chips = card.ability.extra.chip
                } or nil

            }
        end
    end
end

[wheat jewel]

how could i increase the mult by 1 per card scored in hand every time a card is triggered

[shut crater]

either put sound = in your return table or put an event with the play_sound line, but don't put play_sound in your return table
also you have card.ability.extra.chip without an s

[wild escarp]

Yeah, I got that, just working through some other stuff.

[shut crater]

wait idk why I linked hiker I was thinking of runner

[shut crater]

also do you mean permanent increase like runner or do you mean in a single played hand

(here's the runner code)
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L1267

[glad osprey]

how do i balance this to make it more worth grabbing

[stark geode]

does balatro have a list that keeps track of all the vouchers

[fair gyro]

create TWO planet cards /j

[glad osprey]

what its going up against btw

[shut crater]

when you say "given" does it steal the edition from one and give it to the other or does it copy

[glad osprey]

steal

[shut crater]

I would clarify that

[fair gyro]

okay but actually i'd get something like that if it allowed that hand to "keep up" with whatever im focusing on in the run
not like "level up least played hand by most played hand level lmao" keep up, but just so it's not completely useless

[shut crater]

make it increase the level of every hand except your most played

so like a worse black hole

idk

set the level of your least-played hand equal to the level of your most-played hand

[fair gyro]

i mean hmm
how do you get these cards? just so i can gauge the rarity of 'em

[glad osprey]

plain packs

[fair gyro]

noted

[glad osprey]

they are semi common (i think idk how exactly the weights are scaled for packs lol)

[fair gyro]

i see i see 🙂‍↕️

[shut crater]

how much do they cost

compared to a tarot or planet pack

[glad osprey]

rn they all cost 4 dollars bcus i forgot to set the price

but basic will prob cost 4 dollars

6 and 8 for the jumbo and mega

[shut crater]

so they cost the same as an arcana pack but have slightly worse effects?

[glad osprey]

no?

they are not tarot cards

[fair gyro]

honestly thinking about it just leveling up the least played hand by 3 like an unfortunate orbital tag

[stark geode]

.

[glad osprey]

actually maybe 4 5 6 rather than 4 6 8

[shut crater]

emperor creates two tarot cards, planet packs at least let you choose which of the hands you want to upgrade

[glad osprey]

fire idea

[shut crater]

so by direct comparison they're objectively not as good as their equivalents

[glad osprey]

you are comparing apples to tomatoes

[shut crater]

but if the apples and tomatoes cost the same amount I'm going to pick the one I know is more useful

[fair gyro]

tbf edition sounds kind of awesome in the right context

[shut crater]

I'm just trying to give balance advice because you asked for feedback

[marble flint]

yes, gimme a sec

[glad osprey]

about that one specific card

not the entire concept

[shut crater]

ok, my bad

[marble flint]

G.GAME.used_vouchers looks like { v_antimatter = true, ... }

[short girder]

what variables check for blind required score and hand score

[stark geode]

i meant more somthing that tracks voucer keys

[marble flint]

loop through that and put the keys in a table

[glad osprey]

ok now how do i level up hands

[fair gyro]

G.GAME.blind.chips works for required score

[glad osprey]

nevermind its level up hand

[marble flint]

something like

local vouchers = {}
for k in pairs(G.GAME.used_vouchers) do
    vouchers[#vouchers + 1] = k
end

[marble flint]

"hand score" isn't a thing but total round score is G.GAME.chips

[fair gyro]

couple ways to get current hand score i think but i personally just did hand_chips * mult

[wheat jewel]

No i mean like you have 5 cards, and the first card gives +1, 2nd gives +2, and third gives +3

idk how to say it properly

[shut crater]

there should be something in G.P_CENTERS

[wheat jewel]

you increase by 1 mult per card and resets at the end of round

[shut crater]

end of round or after hand is finished scoring?

(the method is the same just curious)

[wheat jewel]

after hand finishes scoring

[shut crater]

I would increase the mult variable of your joker by 1 in your if statement, and then reset it back to 1 in a separate context check

[wheat jewel]

first card gives +1 and 2nd gives +2, basically the mult adds per card by 1

[wheat jewel]

like this?: card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + 1

[shut crater]

yep

and then in context.after you set card.ability.extra.mult = 1

[glad osprey]

this is much more balanced lol

[wheat pulsar]

hello, if i want to set the player hand to 1, how i need to do that¿

[shut crater]

like as in they only have one more hand they can play?

[wheat pulsar]

yes, like the needle

[shut crater]

here's how I did it
https://github.com/chaseoqueso/Powerful_Balatro/blob/master/jokers/big_bluff.lua

[rain atlas]

so i bothered to boot up balatro and my run is still there and it seems playing this hands is causing the crash

[shut crater]

oh wait I think I also had hooks or something

oh no cause I changed the effect

that's just it

[fair gyro]

so um
how do you have something happen when the boss blind ability gets set off like matador?
tried to use the vanillaremade repo as reference (in addition to the actual vanilla matador and paperback's calling card) but nothing's going on

code looks like this rn

if context.debuffed_hand or context.joker_main then
    if G.GAME.blind.triggered and not context.blueprint then
        card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_gain
        return {
            message = 'Upgraded!',
            colour = G.C.CHIPS,
            card = card
        }
    end
end```

[wheat pulsar]

is only the ease_hands_played(1 - G.GAME.current_round.hands_left) no?

[shut crater]

yep, that's the line that does it

[wheat pulsar]

yep, it works, ty!

[short girder]

how would i put it on an if statement though

say

(hand chips) > 2 * G.GAME.blind.chips

[rain atlas]

since i appearntly have a run that consistently crashes playing any hand, what file should i upload so that the devs can properly debug it? i assume it's one of these?

i.e. which file has the "last run that's still going"?

[red flower]

save iirc

but idk what cryptidsave is

[fair gyro]

are you trying to do an effect that procs when the score sets on fire?

[short girder]

basically but it'd be nice if i could save it in a local variable before round ends so i can use it in calc_dollar_bonus

[glad osprey]

how do i make a certain rarity more common

for a single round

[fair gyro]

hmhm i see, gimme a moment

[red flower]

G.GAME.rare_mod = 2 to double rare chances for example

[rain atlas]

blah i'll just upload the entire folder of the save, i'm still not really sure what mod is actually causing this issue, the crash says it's paperback but people are saying it's likely Highest Priestess

[glad osprey]

neato

[short girder]

my guess would be

    if context.after then
    local handchips = chips * mult
    end
end,
calc_dollar_bonus(self,card)
     if handchips > 2* G.GAME.blind.chips then
     return {
     10
     }
     end
end,```

[shut crater]

you can't just return 10

[red flower]

lmao

[shut crater]

wait

jk that's two separate functions

[red flower]

you can return 10 in calc_dollar_bonus but not in a table

also the local is not going to work between the functions

[shut crater]

it would need to go in card.ability.extra

[shut crater]

but also that operates under the assumption that the chips earned in a round is always chips * mult

which would be incompatible with specifically my mod lol

[wheat jewel]

i'm trying to have a joker increment its flat mult by 1 per card and gives it per card

[short girder]

i want hand chips not global chips at end of round lol

[wheat jewel]

but i keep getting a large numebr that goes up nonstop until the end of round in the commented out code

[red flower]

btw the chips variable is hand_chips not chips

(mult is mult tho)

[short girder]

changed it

[wheat jewel]

Added it but now the value is going up before scoring and not per card

[glad osprey]

how balanced is this

[fair gyro]

i tried other ways to get the hand score but it wasn't cooperating so i just went with this

[red flower]

i mean that's the way to do it usually

before scoring finishes at least

[wild escarp]

Am I misunderstanding the use of sound? this doesn't play anything.

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
    if context.destroy_card:get_id() < 9 then
        return { 
            remove = true,
            sound = 'slice1'
        }
    end
end

[red flower]

no

that looks fine

unless that's a sound you added

[wild escarp]

Nope, looking to play the dagger sound.

[short girder]

line 359 is the start of smods.joker btw which ends perfectly at line 400
line 388 is if context.after then btw

[red flower]

oh wait i think it needs a message

[hallow forge]

How much more common does it make it

[glad osprey]

0.1 times

so max 25 uses

[red flower]

what are you coding on

[short girder]

notepad++ 😭 too lazy to change it to vs studio code lmao

[hallow forge]

The language is unclear

[fair gyro]

this is what i did

if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.final_scoring_step then
    if to_big(hand_chips) * to_big(mult) > to_big(G.GAME.blind.chips) and to_big(G.GAME.blind.chips) > to_big(0) then
        card.ability.extra.flame = true
    end
    *...more code here...*```

[red flower]

pls do, it will make it easier to spot syntax errors like that

[ivory coral]

hello chat, how do i get this code to work?? no matter what the enhancements dont change
the way ive done it looks silly i know but nothings working

local toenhance = SMODS.get_enhancements(G.hand.highlighted[#G.hand.highlighted])
local enhdfhg = toenhance[i][1]
G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[enhdfhg])

[short girder]

im pretty sure its this

[shut crater]

yes but I'm saying hand chips is not always equal to chips*mult

[hallow forge]

Make Rare jokers +0.1x more common (Cannot exceed +2.5x more common) would be more clear

[ivory coral]

this is an excerpt the bottom part would be in a for i

[short girder]

i mean... yeah
but lets pretend it is

[red flower]

remove the [i] from enhdfhg = toenhance?

[ivory coral]

still nothing

[glad osprey]

hows this

[hallow forge]

fine

[red flower]

if you print enhdfhg what does it give you

[ivory coral]

okay wait its not calling the print at all
let me get a bigger excerpt

[ivory coral]

local toenhance = SMODS.get_enhancements(G.hand.highlighted[#G.hand.highlighted])
...
for i=1, #G.hand.highlighted do
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.1,func = function()
                if toenhance then
                    for i = 1, #toenhance do
                        local enhdfhg = toenhance[1]
                        G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[enhdfhg])
                    end
                else G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.c_base, nil, true) end
                return true end }))
        end```

i tried printing enhdfhg after its defined and it doesnt run at all

[short girder]

looking at the code, found absolutely no errors
smods.joker closes just fine, it's an argument that i placed wrong i think

it wants me to close around if

like right here

it has to be like another syntax error that isnt a parenthesis

[red flower]

calculate = function(

[short girder]

oh my god LMAOO

[red flower]

pls get a good editor : )

[wild escarp]

Now I've got this, but the sound and message play when cards go down after scoring instead of when they're destroyed, how should I fix it?

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
    if context.destroy_card:get_id() < 9 then
        return { 
            remove = true,
            sound = 'slice1',
            message = 'Card was slain by',
            colour = G.C.CHIPS
        }
    end
end

[red flower]

uhh that shouldn't happen probably

[fair gyro]

haven't messed too much with this kind of thing yet but i think you need G.E_MANAGER:add_event for this

..or not lol

[red flower]

i don't think it's a problem with your code, maybe it's smods

[short girder]

yummers

[ivory coral]

ok so when i eval SMODS.get_enhancements(G.hand.highlighted[#G.hand.highlighted]) on a steel card it returns Table: m_steel: true but when i do so for its length it returns 0

[short girder]

looks like ill have to find another way

[red flower]

ah ok yeah, it's not an array so # doesn't work

[ivory coral]

ah thats it then

[red flower]

[1] won't work either

[ivory coral]

is there a way to get an array of it

[native zinc]

make a local var equal {}

and put it inside

oh wait

[shut crater]

you probably need to iterate over it using pairs and count

[ivory coral]

i mean that would contain the enhancements

[native zinc]

yeah this is a pairs problem

[short girder]

wait a second i can steal cryptid code

[ivory coral]

ah
now that its come up whats the differences between for i, in pairs and in ipairs

[red flower]

try printing highlighted.config.center.key

[red flower]

pairs is for any table but doesn't guarantee order
ipairs is for arrays

[red flower]

highlighted being the card with the enhancement

[native zinc]

use pairs when counting size of table

ipairs is unsafe for that

[ivory coral]

yeah that works
and objectively that would be the simple and obvious solution
but im trying to be inclusive for multi-enhanced cards

[wild escarp]

using add_event is better, but it still plays once for each card destroyed, can I add something else to stop that?

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
    if context.destroy_card:get_id() < 9 then
        return { 
            remove = true,
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    card:juice_up(0.8, 0.8)
                    play_sound('slice1', 0.96 + math.random() * 0.08)
                    return true
                end
            }))
        }
    end
end

[red flower]

idk how quantum enhancements work so i cant really help then

[red flower]

save a variable somewhere and change to true once you play the sound once so it doesn't play again?

[prime stone]

Im using psuedoshuffle to reshuffle played cards into the deck but the played cards will only change placement when another card is played. Otherwise it's just at the bottom of the deck. Is there anyway I could circumvent this ```lua
if context.final_scoring_step then
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
local hand_count = #G.play.cards

                for i = 1, hand_count do -- draw cards from deck
                    draw_card(G.discard, G.deck, i * 100 / hand_count, 'down', nil, nil,  0.08)
                end

                pseudoshuffle(G.deck.cards, pseudoseed('recycler'))

                return true
            end
        }))
    end

[shut crater]

I haven't done this before but you might be able to set the event not to blocking

[ivory coral]

me neither lol i just know they exist
thanks anyway

[wild escarp]

How would I do that?

[red flower]

blocking = false,
func = function()
...

blockable does the opposite

[wheat jewel]

when i try to trigger plus 1 mult that incremement by 1 per card for each triggered card, i keep having the mult value increase passively before playing a hand, how do i fix this?

[red flower]

can i see the entire code

it doesn't seem to be a problem there

[wheat jewel]

the joker desc isn't accurate to what i'm tryna do, i wann have each card add 1 mult to the joker and it carries to each card and resets at the end of round

however when using the joker the joker passively increases the mult to a large amount which is not intended

then resets to 1 like normal

ok i'm dumb it is working fine

idk what was causing issues earlier

but it isn't doing +2 first and instead doing +1 on the first card

[red flower]

because mult starts at 1

instead of 0

[wheat jewel]

ok

lemme try that

that makes it work as intended but it shows +0 mult in the joker description i gotta fix that

It now is working as intended ^^

[placid star]

does G.GAME.blind have a variable that indicates if its a finisher blind? e.g. Crimson heart, violet vessel and if not, is there a mod function in lua?

[wooden nexus]

Did SMODS 506a break atlases or something?

because i lost my art

[glad osprey]

did you save the file

[ivory coral]

im going completely insane
i have a savestate set up
everything should be identical
so WHY is it that when this code is run the tables it returns are ONLY SOMETIMES empty and other times correctly have stuff in them

    varrrr = k
    print(toenhance)
    print(k)
    print(v)
    print(varrrr)
end```

of course once i make a post about it it starts working consistently even though i havent even restarted the game or anything??

[wooden nexus]

yes i had it work BEFORE I updated smods

[faint yacht]

Yes.

[glad osprey]

are you sure

[wooden nexus]

Yes

[red flower]

it probably does but idk

modulo is %

[wooden nexus]

Just threw a trash can into space

[glad osprey]

nah i don't think you did actually

[placid star]

ty !!

[wooden nexus]

Literally here

[glad osprey]

why is it just the default joker atlas

[sleek cliff]

I've made an enhancement, but it's not showing up on the cards

[wooden nexus]

reasons

easier to hide art

oh.

I think i figured out my problem

[placid star]

it's so funny to me when people include the vanilla sprite sheet in their assets lmao

[wooden nexus]

I don't normally do this btw

[ivory coral]

ok so i think whether or not this code works depends on how long the game has been open
if its not been a few seconds then center is a nil value or smth
so i guess its resolved

[wooden nexus]

I see the issue

[placid star]

id hope not 😭 i had to scold a doctor who guy earlier for this

[wooden nexus]

I'm doing this for aesthetic reasons, I can't give more information on it other than that

[placid star]

oh aren't we secretive?

[wooden nexus]

Would give away what the mod actually is (and I've been keeping that a secret for almost a month now)

[red flower]

you don't need to include the assets

just remove the atlas

[wooden nexus]

I do

[placid star]

u can use the vanilla atlases without adding them to your assets btw

[wooden nexus]

Listen

I said it's for aesthetic reasons

not changing it now after a month of having it like this
