[placid star]

well there you go

so check v.config.center.original_mod

[red flower]

incorrect

[slow brook]

it doesn't let me set it to false

[red flower]

it's v.original_mod

what's mod_id

[hard mica]

my mod id

[red flower]

and are you sure that doesn't work?

[red flower]

don't return a variable assignment

[hard mica]

nope it doesnt give me a random jonkler

[red flower]

print(valid_pool) after the loop

when you're coding you never look at the end result and say oh well nothing works lol

[slow brook]

then what do i do, assign a variable outside of return and then return the variable?

[red flower]

idk what you want to do

i recommend learning some lua basics

[hard mica]

i did and theres absolutely nothing

[slow brook]

i want my joker to give +100 chips at scoring, but after using a specific consumable on it it gives +500 chips at scoring instead for the whole round, then going back to normal

[red flower]

can i see the code

[sleek cliff]

So they coexist now, but selling does nothing

[hard mica]

there you go

[red flower]

then you don't need to return anything in end_of_round

[red flower]

oh, the jokers are not registered yet while you're in the global scope of your mod

do it in the apply function

[hard mica]

wdym?

[red flower]

card is the joker that is using the function, and also card is not a string, it's a Card object

[sleek cliff]

ah

[red flower]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS doesn't have any mod jokers until smods loads them in a function and that part of your mod loads before smods loads your jokers

[hard mica]

oooh

how do i register them then?

[red flower]

just do it inside apply

[hard mica]

yeah but how do i do it

[red flower]

ctrl+x ctrl+v

[slow brook]

it now works when the consumable is used but doesn't work when it isn't, so it gives +500 but doesn't give +100 anymore

[red flower]

ok

[glad osprey]

why are the cards with specifically a custom rank AND a custom suit not using the correct atlas

[hard mica]

damn im dumb holy shit

[sleek cliff]

so is there a way to sell a certain type of joker and gain mult?

[red flower]

yes, your logic is fine

but you want to do context.card.config.center.key == "key"

[sleek cliff]

should I put that in the if then?

[red flower]

yes

[sleek cliff]

ok, it KINDA works, its saying its upgrading, but its not ACTUALLY upgrading

[hard mica]

why arent the tags going away after i got the cards lmao

[dull sage]

So I have managed to create my own booster with my modded consumable, but it's showing "ERROR" instead of the Pack Name, how do I fix that?

[sleek cliff]

nvm fixxxxxed

[open forum]

🧐 How'd I make it such that the game opens wordle or do something adjacent

[willow plinth]

for stuff like that you are probably better off researching love2d and lua directly

[open forum]

Ic

[slow brook]

is there a way to discard every card in hand?

[glad osprey]

how do i enable joker retriggers

[placid star]

post trigger not needed

[glad osprey]

ty for answering the question instead of just reacting to the message

[gaunt thistle]

bwahaha idk either

[placid star]

something has a habit of that, hes rly smart tho so if he can he'll help

@modern kindle your code for splash, can you send it again? im just thinking and i think it might be slightly inefficient (if u care at all)

[spiral crown]

does anyone know why I am getting this crash/ how to fix it? Happens when I hover over my new booster pack in the collection

[teal yoke]

Any tips to get this working? I have a joker that triggers on non face cards, currently triggering correctly. I'm trying to add the number value of chips(essentially a retrigger, but there will be more steps once this works). other_card works in the context line, but doesn't work when trying to add the chips in the return block.

if not context.other_card:is_face() then
    return {
         chips = self.ability.extra.chips * other_card.base.nominal,```

[wintry solar]

oh I actually have useful docs regarding retriggers and post triggers now

coming soonTM

[placid star]

so with your insight will we be able to make a joker retrigger itself infinitely?

[wintry solar]

no

you can't do that

[placid star]

what is that create_card??

[placid star]

but it would be so funyyy

[spiral crown]

it's a new consumeable type I made

[placid star]

piece together your code and mine, mine works fully btw

[spiral crown]

sounds good I appreciate it

[misty shoal]

Hi i'm trying to make the most boring tarot card ever (reverse strength), but it keeps getting stuck when the card flips over.
I'm using https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/tarots.lua as a reference and even that original code doesn't seem to work

[placid star]

sounds peak actually, turn aces into kings

[misty shoal]

grim is about to be more goated

also 2s to aces which might be kinda good but eh

[placid star]

omg u just gave me an idea for a consum

1/4 chance to turn entire hand into kings, else destroy all cards

lmao

[modern kindle]

im confident it just is iefficient, but it gets the job done so i dont really care

[misty shoal]

I asked a question and am being asked to pay money to make your card

[modern kindle]

my practice is based on if it works over if its most efficient

[placid star]

IM KIDDING

[placid star]

yeah here was my solution, seems simpler 🤷‍♀️

[misty shoal]

lol ik

[daring fern]

Are you returning true in the events?

[misty shoal]

I think so

wait does that top section need a return true as well

[daring fern]

All events do.

[misty shoal]

hmmm, I guess the vanilla remade strength is jsut missing it then lol

ok yeah that was it

funny enough this works, so reverse strength is jsut strength's code with (1) extra character

I thought 2->ace might not work but it's fine

[wheat jewel]

if i wanna play a sound effect when a joker gives money, is this the best way to go about it?

[glass scaffold]

Tried to update someone to 0.7.1, got this. Help.

[daring fern]

No, you would do sound = 'sizimod_paid'

[wheat jewel]

in the return statement?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wheat jewel]

like this?

add a comma after the sound statement?

[daring fern]

And remove everything else in the return.

[wheat jewel]

but those are checks for how much money to earn from discards and hands left

[daring fern]

Wait this is in calc_dollar_bonus?

[wheat jewel]

yeah

can econ jokers play sounds on the win screen when giving money?

[daring fern]

You would then do```lua
if number > 0 then
play_sound('modprefix_key')
return number
end

[wheat jewel]

like this?

[daring fern]

Remove the second return.

[wheat jewel]

what value is number going to be?

or wait

[daring fern]

What do you want it to be?

[wheat jewel]

number would be a check for if discards and hands are 0

if they aren't

[glad osprey]

bump

[wheat jewel]

they would play the sound and then return the number of money in prportion to hands and discards unused

[wheat jewel]

this joker i'm making gives 1 dollar per discard or hand that you don't use

would this work properly for that purpose?

and should i add a comma after the sound statement to not cause errors?

[daring fern]

No.

This is a function not a table.

[wheat jewel]

Oh ok

let me test it now

[red flower]

jokers don't have individual weights so that's hard to do

[wheat jewel]

It works!!!

[glad osprey]

hypothetically what if i made a rare joker into an uncommon joker

[red flower]

you would need to modify the pools too i think

[slow brook]

can i add a joker that’s only there to be turned into from an another joker and cant actually be found in shop?

[red flower]

yes

just return false in in_pool

[quick kraken]

Ok so I'm trying to make a joker that copies and force-uses consumables

What in the world did I do wrong?

Cause it doesn't work

[daring fern]

The copying or forcetriggering?

[quick kraken]

Nothing works but I think part of the issue might be that I forgot card.ability. behind state

[slow brook]

do animated jokers cycle through each frame automatically in a loop or can i control when the frame changes

[quick kraken]

Well it still doesn't work so I'll repost the code

        if context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable.ability.set == "planet" and card.ability.state == 0 then
                card.ability.state = 1
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        card_eval_status_text(context_blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = "Copied!", colour = G.C.CHIPS})
                        local p_card = copy_card(context.consumeable)
                        G.FUNCS.use_card({ config = { ref_table = p_card } })
                        return true
                    end
                }))
                card.ability.state = 0
        end
    end```

[neat leaf]

Is the source code behind Brainstorm's Immolate.dll available anywhere? It's not in the git repos as far as I can tell. I'd like to fork it and add a bunch of extra features, including a way to script against it.

[daring fern]

You have to animate jokers manually.

[quick kraken]

Also, would it be possible to instead retrigger planets?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Immolate ?

[neat leaf]

Thank you.

[daring fern]

Try looking at how POLTERWORX does it?

[quick kraken]

Already tried, couldn't figure it out from code

[slow brook]

so a stackable joker with each stack having a different sprite is possible?

stackable like madness for example, eating a joker and gaining mult each time it does

[daring fern]

Stackable joker?

But yes.

[slow brook]

yeah like runner, madness, bus, constellation, hologram, vampire

[daring fern]

You mean scaling joker?

[quick kraken]

@daring fern I think in the end I'd rather do it this way

So I can also do it to Wheel of Fortune and other chance-based consumables

As such, what's wrong with my code?

[chrome widget]

How do you determine that something is a modded suit or rank?

I could at base just make a reference table of the vanilla keys, but is it actually already stored somewhere?

[quick kraken]

Looks like it's in Aurinko instead, actually

And it's only for hand level ups

[minor magnet]

chat i need some help

can someone who understand smods' straight calculation help me rq

[raven forge]

is this about jump cards

I think you can go ahead and post your code, whatever you've got

@minor magnet

[minor magnet]

yes

i can't get them to work right

[prime stone]

Does anybody have this issue where if you shuffle the deck, discards will draw cards using the same order before you shuffle but playing a card will update it to use the new order?

[minor magnet]

[prime stone]

Maybe, I'll move it outside of the event manager and see if anything changes

[raven forge]

you might want to check out the relevant functions and see which of them contain events, and which are contained in events

lots of normal-looking functions have events buried inside them

[raven forge]

oh yeah, what's the current intended effect of Jump Cards

[minor magnet]

take the place of any card in a straight

as of right now they work in the first, second, and last positions

if you play them as the third or fourth card they will not work

[raven forge]

that's tough with only very few patches. it's not like shortcut where you can have exactly one gap each time

I'll have to read over those patches; I am currently thinking you might want help with the algorithm instead of trying to find where the current code is wrong

[minor magnet]

genuinely understanding exactly how the get_straight code works might help me more

[raven forge]

first part of the function collects all cards into buckets by rank into ranks table; then, looks like a collection of tuples (partial straights?) is created. (I'm reading through right now, I think the get_straight code changed)

ok, looks like it basically keeps extending each straight in parallel?

[minor magnet]

huh??

genuinely i struggle to understand that code so much

[raven forge]

basically all the partial straights are in tuples. simplifying a lot, in one iteration, every partial straight is extended by one card if possible, possibly making a lot more partial straights, which are collected back into tuples

[prime stone]

so, draw_card does use an event, which I call in a for loop and then psuedoshuffle

[raven forge]

next_ranks() is a helper function saying "which cards can be added onto this partial straight"

[minor magnet]

ok that makes sense

[wild escarp]

Is there some way to track the amount of jokers bought throughout the run? Like fortune teller, but with jokers.

[gusty iron]

Would there be anyway to change base game boss blinds?

(Ex: Making tooth give 1 dollar instead of losing one dollar?)

[raven forge]

You'll probably have to count them yourself. you might have to hook/patch a function like buy_from_shop and increment a global counter

[minor magnet]

take_ownership or lovely patch

[gusty iron]

Could i get an example of how this code would work or be called?

[raven forge]

I assume this is a conditional effect; using a lovely patch is the most reliable way

I wouldn't take ownership as you'd have to recreate the original effect

[gusty iron]

Yeah its for a deck im making

It essentially reverses the effects of each boss blind

(Violet Vessel is 0.25x base, for those asking :) )

[raven forge]

yeah, you'll have to just change every boss blind. the easier way will probably be using lovely patches; you can go to Lovely's github page, or check other mods to see how. (lovely/dump contains the post-patch files so you can see what's happening)

[gusty iron]

Could i get a few mod examples which use patching?

[minor magnet]

in #1345167421987749959 i use patching for a bunch of stuff, just check out the lovely.toml file

[raven forge]

pretty much all of them these days. I was just working on Lucky Rabbit

[gusty iron]

Is toml still written in lua

[turbid maple]

no its written in toml

[raven forge]

no, it's separate from lua. toml isn't a language, just a data format

[turbid maple]

lovely readme has an example

[gusty iron]

Okay

[turbid maple]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/main/lovely/monsters.toml

[gusty iron]

This isnt gonna be fun :agony:

[raven forge]

would you like advice on how to implement jump cards?

[turbid maple]

example mod that uses lovely patches

[minor magnet]

yes hop in dms if you dont mind, lets not clog up the chat

[turbid maple]

its literally just pasting your code directly into the game code

all the stuff around it is telling the program where it should paste it into

[gusty iron]

Ohh

[wild escarp]

Is there any context I can check for buying a joker?

[gusty iron]

So it is basically lua yeah

[turbid maple]

well

you write the lua code in a string

the toml file contains the lua code

you'll see if you look at some examples

[gusty iron]

Okay yeah thats what i meant

I didnt want to have to learn a new language

[turbid maple]

no but there is a context for buying cards in general and you can check if its a joker

context.buying_card

context.card is the card that was bought

also note that the card being bought will also receive this context so you might want to check for that if you don't want to have it trigger off of itself being purchased

[wheat jewel]

how do you make the probability in a joker desc change with oops all 6s

[gusty iron]

Use variables

Check smods github page with moddedvanilla

It should have a gros Michel clone

[turbid maple]

(G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1)

Don't ask me why its called normal

but the normal thing keeps track of probabilities being changed

[gusty iron]

Yeah

[wild escarp]

What do I use to check if the bought card is a joker?

[wheat jewel]

gotcha thanks

[turbid maple]

I always forget how to do that

[quick kraken]

hey so 2 questions

first, where is current ante stored?

Secondly, how do I check if a number is an integer in Lua?

[turbid maple]

everything is included in various things called config cenfer or whatever I forget where things are

[gusty iron]

Like, no decimals?

[wheat jewel]

added it to where i check the probability but how would i do so in the joker desc?

[quick kraken]

I need a way to check if current ante is multiple of 8

[gusty iron]

if ANTE % 8 == 0

[placid star]

is there a default timer function that ticks when a time interval passes?

[quick kraken]

Fucking Modulo

[gusty iron]

% is modulo

[quick kraken]

How did I forget about Modulo

[wheat jewel]

how do i make the probability display in the joker description

[quick kraken]

Also where is Ante stored

[gusty iron]

:agony:

You need to put it in the config, then return a loc_vars function

[placid star]

also, you can use G.GAME.blind.config.blind.boss.showdown == true

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/d43316d97bc927f3de431dd84c0283d41e69761a/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua#L364

[turbid maple]

also include it in your loc_vars function

[wheat jewel]

ok lemme try that

[gusty iron]

That i do not know 🔥

[turbid maple]

people tend to forget loc_vars is a function and you can do whatever you want in them!

[daring fern]

No, that would check if the current blind is a showdown?

[turbid maple]

ante is stored in the balls

[gusty iron]

loc_vars = function()
os.exit()
end

:trol:

[turbid maple]

true

[placid star]

yeah, which is the only reason i can think to check if ante is a multiple of 8

[red flower]

you can do G.GAME.blind.boss.showdown

[gusty iron]

The humble modulo:

[turbid maple]

hey mr n how do you check if a card is a joker again

[quick kraken]

Is there such a thing as G.GAME.ante then?

[daring fern]

No.

[red flower]

card.ability.set == "Joker"

[placid star]

G.GAME.round_resets.ante returns an integer of the current ante

[quick kraken]

Cause finisher blind can show up on ante 7 too if you used Hieroglyph

[turbid maple]

okay theres your answer you use card.ability.set == 'Joker'

I can never remember this

[quick kraken]

And if I understand the intention behind who supplied me with the joker idea, then it has to be exactly a multiple of 8 ante

[gusty iron]

So to check if its a multiple of 8 just do like

if G.GAME.round_resets.ante % 8 == 0 then

[quick kraken]

Yeah ok thanks

[gusty iron]

Oh yeah, friendly reminder that you can put negative on playing cards!

Do what you want with this information.

[turbid maple]

friendly reminder that this is illegal and you have been reported to your local authorities

[quick kraken]

I thought it was a cryptid thing?

[red flower]

it's an smods thing

[turbid maple]

no negative on playing cards just work

[quick kraken]

Oh it's smods

[gusty iron]

They act effectively like +1 Hand size

I think its pretty niche :)

[placid star]

fun fact, if you get the verdant leaf, negative playing cards will not function even after selling a joker!

[red flower]

JoyousSpring(tm) has some

[gusty iron]

I even made a tarot to let you do it

My friend named it "The Negator-inator"

[placid star]

i had a seal like that but realised it was too op lol

[gusty iron]

EVIL SEAL
X-2 MULT

[red flower]

i might steal this

[gusty iron]

but if you trigger it an even amount of times it becomes good seal

Because - X - = +

[gusty iron]

Give credit if you do!!

[wheat jewel]

when i hover over the joker in the collection menu, it keeps crashin and telling me line 220 causes an error

[turbid maple]

no one has made a joker that kills seals and called it polar bear or something like that yet as far as I can tell and this is greatly disappointing

[gusty iron]

Also would it be possible to replace every blind with a boss blind, triple the ante requirement, and then reduce scaling to not make it go crazy?

[daring fern]

G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1

[red flower]

you used card.ability... but the argument is called center

[gusty iron]

Totally not making another stake

Cause i know a mod that replaces the blinds, but idk about changing the win requirement from 8 to 24

[placid star]

now this is peak

[gusty iron]

Oh my fucking god i get it now

The poor seals

🦭

[placid star]

prob need to use lovely patches, and best make it a deck

[gusty iron]

The thing is, you unlock a deck from doing the stake

Its gonna be the final stake in my mod

[placid star]

wild, gold stake and that? i RARELY ever do anything but white in modded to begin with

[prime stone]

ok I fixed it by moving psuedoshuffle into pre_discard and handdrawn if you played cards

[gusty iron]

Oh theres more after gold!!

Aqua - Everything in the shop is 25% more costly
"Unpleasant" - If you go more than 2 rounds with less than 10$, instantly lose the run.

But ill also offer it as a deck version for people who like white stake

[placid star]

no offense but how is this fun...

[gusty iron]

Its not supposed to be!! :)

(I like suffering)

[placid star]

so its what mariokart players think darksouls is like as a balatro stake? peak

[gusty iron]

Aqua isnt that bad, just buy clearance for 13 if you can, and then its basically just normal again

Unpleasant is a different story.

But if you think about it, youll be gettint alot of money from the boss blinds, so unpleasant shouldnt be an issue if you manage econ well

[placid star]

still deck fixing and econ would require an insane amount of precision

you should add a feature where you can only get common jokers

[gusty iron]

Maroon Stake - Joker rarities above common appear twice as unlikely

[Applies unpleasant stake]

[misty shoal]

(half)

[gusty iron]

Half as likely
Twice as unlikely

Same difference :P

[placid star]

so rare chance = 2, uncommon = 12, seems too much

[misty shoal]

yeah make it 1/4th

[gusty iron]

True

[misty shoal]

1 and 6

[gusty iron]

Also im thinking of making showdown blinds into decks

[placid star]

better yet, get rid of rare, change uncommon to be weight of rare

[gusty iron]

Violet Vessel Deck - Very Large Deck (104 Cards, 26 of each suit)

Verdant Leaf Deck - 2X Sell Value for ALL Jokers

[placid star]

violet stake = *6 base ante chips req

[gusty iron]

What would the other 3 be tho...

[placid star]

crimson would act like the blind does

or -1 joker slot

[misty shoal]

does anyone know how hard it would be to make all held consumables negative?

[placid star]

not

[gusty iron]

No i mean the decks not the stakes

[placid star]

yeah but add the stakes aswell >:)

[gusty iron]

Loop through everything in the held consumables with a for loop

[gusty iron]

TRUE

lets move this discussion to my mod forum

[placid star]

yeah ping me there

[shut crater]

all currently held consumables or all consumables that are added from now on?

[misty shoal]

all currently held

[shut crater]

yeah that's not bad

[placid star]

again, very easy

[misty shoal]

yeah im jsut not too well versed in refering to the held consumables

[shut crater]

use a for loop to iterate over G.consumables and set the edition of each card to negative

might be spelled consumeables because thunk can't spell sometimes

[placid star]

      v:set_edition('e_negative')
end```

[placid star]

he switches it abt lmao

wait no, smods and him differ

[gusty iron]

Pinged

[wild escarp]

Does someone have an example of a joker that counts all previous joker purchases?

[shut crater]

I know someone has been working on something along those lines but I don't remember who

what's your goal?

[wild escarp]

Just a joker that gives plus 3 mult for each unique joker owned within the run.

[shut crater]

I think unfortunately that is actually pretty difficult to do

or at least it requires a hook

afaik there is no in-game tracker for unique joker purchases

[wild escarp]

Would just joker purchases be more doable? Not tracking unique jokers.

[shut crater]

I think it would be approximately the same amount of work

to be clear they're both totally doable you just need to hook whatever function is responsible for purchasing a joker, but I have never done anything with the shop so I can't give you a good starting point

[wild escarp]

I haven't done any hooking whatsoever.

[shut crater]

how ready are you to learn

[red flower]

my go to for things that have a context is hooking SMODS.calculate_context

[shut crater]

it's not too bad

[red flower]

local SMODS_calculate_context_ref = SMODS.calculate_context
function SMODS.calculate_context(context, return_table)
   if context.buying_card and context.card.ability.set == "Joker" then
         G.GAME.prefix_jokers_bought = (G.GAME.prefix_jokers_bought or 0) + 1
  end
    return SMODS_calculate_context_ref(context, return_table)
end

sorry if the formatting is bad

[turbid maple]

he wants to keep track of jokers purchased in a run so context wouldnt work

oh

okay sure that works

[wheat jewel]

how to i make this return both 1 dollar for every hand and discard unusued, for me it only does 3 dollars when i have 3 hands and 3 discards

[turbid maple]

and does not add things

[wheat jewel]

when it should be $6

[faint yacht]

You return the + of the two.

[turbid maple]

you want to add numbers

[glass scaffold]

Can anyone look through this and see what's making it crash?

[wheat jewel]

was wondering if that would work so imma try it

[red flower]

seems like something in jen's library mod doesn't like talisman

[faint yacht]

-# ...2.2.0-dev, a bit older, huh.

[glass scaffold]

Do any of them need updating or do we just need to kick one of them out?

[red flower]

idk i dont play mods

but jokerdisplay is outdated so im guessing the others are too

[placid star]

wouldnt adding_card be better?

[red flower]

why

[placid star]

or did i dream that context...

[placid star]

judgement, wraith etc

[red flower]

card_added i think

[red flower]

they said bought, i dont know what they want to do

[uncut cloud]

first time modding balatro
i have genuinely no idea of whats going on anymore
completely lost the plot

[red flower]

:set_seat with a colon

[uncut cloud]

ah

makes sense

lemme try that

okay that was

better

saw the seals for a second there, crashed again

i see the issue tho i can fix that myself

thanks by the way

[red flower]

yw

[glass scaffold]

Got them updated, along with upgrading to 0509c SMODS.

Looks like it's working so far.

[wild escarp]

How would I put this into use?

[shut crater]

almost exactly as written, replacing prefix with your mod's prefix

then any time you need to access the number of jokers that have been bought you can use G.GAME.prefix_jokers_bought

[wild escarp]

Thank you both!

[misty shoal]

small side effect of how I coded oracles conditions (if you have any consumables), if you are holding just oracle you can use it and it does nothing

I will be leaving it as such and do not want any recommendations on fixing it I just wanted to share

[red flower]

you can fix it by setting your microwave to 5 minutes on high

[tight notch]

If i wanted to multiply the rate of foil cards appearing(like hone and glow up but just for foil cards) in a joker, how would I do that?

[tight notch]

nvm, i'll just copy off cryptid's homework again

[rapid stag]

if i wanted to feed G.localizations.descriptions.Other.Edition.e_negative_playing_card into an info_queue, what's the best way to do that

[shut crater]

here's how I added the info_queue for a sticker
https://github.com/chaseoqueso/Powerful_Balatro/blob/master/jokers/lich.lua#L11

maybe that'll help?

[rapid stag]

oh, i'm familiar with adding via a key, set table. the problem here is that this is in a set, in a set. ...so like, how do i set up the table? because { key = 'e_negative_playing_card', set = 'Other' } sure isn't gonna work, but neither is { key = 'e_negative_playing_card', set = 'Edition' }?

[shut crater]

crazy thought but would set = "Other.Edition" work?

[faint yacht]

...why specifically under Other?

[shut crater]

also ^

[rapid stag]

don't ask me, ask steamodded devs https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/64ebb1780c917bb0ff4689420d357049ce9f8d57/localization/en-us.lua#L139

that's how they structured it

[tight notch]

this did not work out due to cryptid only having something for negatives

so uh bump

[shut crater]

I would start by taking a look at the vanilla code for hone

I have no idea how it decides whether to apply an edition

actually

[shut crater]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Edition#weight-system

looks like G.GAME.edition_rate

[tight notch]

looked at that a bit ago, but neither really covered what I was looking for which is only foil

i'll go over it again

[shut crater]

ohhh I missed that you wanted specifically foil

then my guess is that you would probably need to modify the weight of e_foil in G.P_CENTERS

or...hook its get_weight?

I'm not at my computer so I'm not looking at the code

[tight notch]

i have an idea which is take ownership of the foil edition and multiply the weight like wormhole deck

[shut crater]

that is a much more straightforward solution

you could probably just replace its get_weight function then

using take_ownership

[tight notch]

that's what i'm doing

also does add to deck effects stay if the card goes away

[shut crater]

yes, so if you want to reverse the effect you'll need to do something in remove_from_deck

[tight notch]

alright

[faint yacht]

This specifically?

[tight notch]

for taking ownership, can we use extra ability variables in it?

[shut crater]

that...is a good question

[tight notch]

for example:

    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        SMODS.Edition.take_ownership("foil", {
            get_weight = function(self)
                return self.weight * center.ability.extra.foilrate
            end,
        }, true)
    end,

[shut crater]

I would be hesitant of overriding config using take_ownership

[tight notch]

ignore the formatting

[shut crater]

because you're replacing the config of the original

[tight notch]

ah

[wheat jewel]

trying to make a joker like oops all 6s but instead it sets probabilities to zero, but when i spawn the joker then sell it, the probabilities are still set to 0, how do i fix this

[shut crater]

also that's not how take_ownership is used

[tight notch]

ah ok

im new to modding and lua in general

[faint yacht]

Better save the initial probability to an another variable before applying changes.

[hasty mist]

how do i detect if a player is idle? like, if they havent clicked in over a minute (i can use context.cry_click, but i wanna know how to check time)

[shut crater]

SMODS.Whatever:take_ownership goes outside of any other table, just like making a joker or something

[tight notch]

this would be easier although i want the foil multiplier to change if another joker changes it

[shut crater]

you should probably set it up like

get_weight = function(whatever parameters)
  return G.GAME.edition_rate * G.GAME.your_super_special_variable * self.weight
end

and then your joker modifies that special variable

[shut crater]

wouldn't this not account for cases where the probability changes between the times the joker is added and removed?

[tight notch]

still a little bit confused, i'm assuming we take ownership in another part of the file and then we define these variables, but where in there do I define them

[faint yacht]

Could always update it to reflect the changes... but just don't let it become 0. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[shut crater]

I assume you're looking at the wiki

[tight notch]

brb

[shut crater]

taking ownership is just like creating a new thing, except you only add the properties you want to be different from the original

so in the wiki example they take ownership of a Joker using SMODS.Joker, looking for the joker with the key 'joker', and replacing its cost and calculate functions

[tall jewel]

nyehehe

[primal robin]

[glad osprey]

how save stuff

[shut crater]

G.GAME

[glad osprey]

no like to the profile

[lofty sand]

yo what's the sound that occurs when a joker "activates"? not really sure how to describe it

the sound that should go along with card:juice_up()

like the card flick sound, I guess lol

[faint yacht]

generic1?

That's the "default" one unless chips, mult and what not are involved.

[lofty sand]

cool, I'll give it a shot

[lofty sand]

yep, that's it. thanks :)

[digital niche]

can someone send me a screenshot of line 2240-2269 of game.lua inside lovely folder?

[short girder]

how do i stop this guy from returning 10$ for every card held in hand

[red flower]

add and context.main_eval

and remove the repetition part, that takes care of it

[short girder]

many thankses

[tight notch]

so how do I connect this to my joker?

[wind steppe]

How would I put a modded sticker on a card with SMODS.create_card?

right now I have ```lua
SMODS.create_card({set = "Food", area = G.pack_cards, skip_materialize = true, key_append = "does rng seeding matter that much?", stickers = {'para_negativesticker'}, edition = 'e_negative'})

[tight notch]

as in have my joker modify the values

[wind steppe]

I'd say upon creation of either joker, check for the other and modify its values if so

also check when your joker is removed so you can reset the values

[rapid stag]

this just causes the tooltip to be an error

[tight notch]

It isn't 2 jokers, it's one joker that modifies the rate of an edition

[red flower]

the answer is that it's not in other.edition it's in edition

[lofty sand]

does anyone know if/how I could make a joker modify the price of booster packs specifically instead of just using G.GAME.discount_percent?

[red flower]

i hook set_cost for it

[wind steppe]

get_weight = function(self)
    if (check for joker here) then
            return f(self.weight) -- f(x) takes the edition weight and outputs the new one given your joker exists. does not stack rn
        else
            return self.weight
        end
end

in the edition replacement

[red flower]

well, patch but you can hook

[rapid stag]

tried that, just causes functions/common_events.lua:2848: attempt to index local 'cfg' (a nil value)

[wind steppe]

How would I put a modded sticker on a card with SMODS.create_card?

[tight notch]

how would I check for the joker? sorry i'm reeeaally new

[wind steppe]

idk either tbh

[red flower]

like this?
info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = 'e_negative_playing_card', set = 'Edition', config = {extra = 1}}

[rapid stag]

i see

[wind steppe]

i would assume you could loop through the jokers and check but idk how to access it

(it being the jokers)

[red flower]

next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key"))

[tight notch]

ty

[wind steppe]

oh thats a lot faster

[lofty sand]

how would I hook the price of booster packs specifically?

[red flower]

you check if the card is a booster and if your joker is in play and then you adjust cost and sell_cost

[lofty sand]

sick, thanks :)

[rapid stag]

fixed

[wind steppe]

does anyone know why this doesn't spawn my sticker on the card?

SMODS.create_card({set = "Food", area = G.pack_cards, skip_materialize = true, key_append = "does rng seeding matter that much?", stickers = {'para_negativesticker'}, edition = 'e_negative'})

[tight notch]

Another question, I'm making a deck and in game it just says ERROR and crashes the game when you try to play it.

here's the code

the only thing that displays right is the sprite

[lament sparrow]

I'm assuming lovely has a debug function

[lofty sand]

is the correct tag G.C.BOOSTER?

[red flower]

1. use SMODS.add_card to create jokers
2. you need to use an event in apply or it will crash because the joker area doesn't exist yet

the error thing idk it's probably something wrong with how the loc_txt is formatted

[wind steppe]

i think you need to use events for adding jokers with decks

[red flower]

no that's a color

[lofty sand]

I'm finding IDs for specific booster packs but not booster packs generally

[red flower]

card.ability.set == "Booster" iirc

[wind steppe]

for comparison i have this that spawns two jokers (ignore the names)

    apply = function()
        sendDebugMessage('Deck selected')
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                local card = SMODS.create_card({
                    set = 'Joker',
                    area = G.jokers,
                    key = 'j_markiplier_plusmarkiplier',
                    
                })
                card:add_to_deck()
                G.jokers:emplace(card)
                return true
                end
              }))
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                local card = SMODS.create_card({
                    set = 'Joker',
                    area = G.jokers,
                    key = 'j_markiplier_timesmarkiplier',
                })
                card:add_to_deck()
                G.jokers:emplace(card)
                return true
                end
              }))
    end
})

[lofty sand]

oh fr? let me try it lol

[compact girder]

Haelp why is it doing this 😭

[tight notch]

what's wrong with the loc_txt?

[compact girder]

crap mkv

one sec

[tight notch]

and how do i use events

[wind steppe]

i will never understand why obs doesn't just save directly as mp4

[wild escarp]

Would it be possible to check what poker hands have been played in an ante?

[wind steppe]

        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                local card = SMODS.create_card({
                    set = 'Joker',
                    area = G.jokers,
                    key = 'j_markiplier_plusmarkiplier',
                    
                })
                card:add_to_deck()
                G.jokers:emplace(card)
                return true
                end
              }))

i think if you just change the name of the joker and put this in apply ur good

[compact girder]

SMODS.Joker{
key = 'jokerkaite',
loc_txt = {
name = 'Kaite',
text = {
'Gains {C:red}+2 {C:black}Mult every time {C:gold}High Card {C:black}is played.',
'{C:green}1 in 4 {C:black}chance to upgrade {C:gold}High Card {C:black}when played.',
'{C:inactive}(Currently {C:red}+#1# {C:inactive}Mult)'
}
},
atlas = 'Jokers3',
pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
config = {
extra = {
base_mult = 0,
growth = 2,
level = 1,
highcard_growth = 1,
}
},
rarity = 3,
cost = 8,
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
return {vars = {center.ability.extra.base_mult}}
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.before and context.main_eval and context.scoring_name == 'High Card' then
-- initialize values if not already set
card.ability.extra.base_mult = card.ability.extra.base_mult or 1
card.ability.extra.growth = card.ability.extra.growth or 1
card.ability.extra.level = card.ability.extra.level or 1

-- apply growth
card.ability.extra.base_mult = card.ability.extra.base_mult + card.ability.extra.growth
SMODS.calculate_effect({message = "+2"}, card)

-- chance to level up
if math.random() < 0.25 then
  card.ability.extra.level = card.ability.extra.level + 1
  card.ability.extra.highcard_growth = card.ability.extra.highcard_growth + 1
  SMODS.calculate_effect({message = "Level Up!"}, card)
end

-- return effect
return {
  mult = card.ability.extra.base_mult
}

end
end
}

and theres code

[wind steppe]

the joker looks to be triggering before scoring instead of during joker_main

including the scoring

also put code like this:
```lua
-- Your code here!
```

idk why triggering then would do that though

[rapid stag]

[manic rune]

actually

you should use SMODS.add_card instead

it does the same thing but more compact :p

[tight notch]

what would I change to use that

[turbid maple]

I got it to work by setting should_apply = false in my sticker object (which I assume makes you use the default sticker check)

just had the same issue

kind of a confusing name but that's how smods redefines vanilla stickers /shrug

[manic rune]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager

i recommend reading this

it explains events pretty clearly

[tight notch]

as in like add card instead of create

[manic rune]

SMODS.add_card({key = "key"})

[tight notch]

and does that remove the need for the other things?

[manic rune]

yes

[tight notch]

alr

[lofty sand]

what are the functions of booster pack cost and sell_cost?

[wind steppe]

ty

okay now i need to get my sticker to do something

how tf does apply actually work

[red flower]

elaborate?

[manic rune]

runs whenever the sticker is applied/removed from the card, i think?

not sure if it runs when removed

[lofty sand]

I'm not sure what function I should be hooking for modifying the cost and sell_cost, is what I mean

[rapid stag]

is just checking .ability.set == 'Default' enough? i'm pretty sure that should only eval as true for playing cards, right

[red flower]

the one i said at the beginning of the conversation lol
Card:set_cost

[turbid maple]

apply is just a function gets called when the sticker gets added

[wind steppe]

but not removed?

[turbid maple]

no

[lofty sand]

ah okay

[red flower]

you also need 'Enhanced'

[turbid maple]

for something to happen when its removed you'd have to do it in its calculate function

[rapid stag]

so i'm checking for default or enhanced?

[red flower]

ye

[turbid maple]

    apply = function(self, card, val)
        if not card.ability.eternal then
            card.ability.supper_contracted = true
            card.ability.supper_contracted_tally = G.GAME.supper_contracted_rounds
        end
    end,

as an example mine simply sets a counter when sticker is added

[thorn flame]

anyone know how to change the font of a message?

[wild escarp]

How would I check for unplayed poker hands in an ante?

[wind steppe]

what context would that be?

[thorn flame]

nvm gor it

[turbid maple]

whatever context removes your sticker man

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            if card.ability.supper_contracted_tally == 1 then
                card.ability.supper_contracted_tally = 0
                card.ability.supper_contracted = false
                card:juice_up()
            else
                card.ability.supper_contracted_tally = card.ability.supper_contracted_tally - 1
                return {
                    message = localize({
                        type = "variable",
                        key = "a_remaining",
                        vars = { card.ability.supper_contracted_tally },
                    }),
                    colour = G.C.FILTER,
                    delay = 0.45,
                }
            end
        end
    end,

Mine simply gets removed after some rounds so I do this

if you somehow have a thing that removes stickers off of cards and want it to trigger something based on that then you're on your own idk

[wind steppe]

on destruction mainly

[turbid maple]

when card is destroyed?

[wind steppe]

its for food jokers

[turbid maple]

so like triggering something when a joker with a sticker is destroyed

[wind steppe]

or on sell

its a passive effect

[thorn flame]

nvm DONT got it

[turbid maple]

uhh

you'd prob have to hook or patch something

there's Card:sell_card you can hook into

idk what a useful function you'd hook into for destroying things would be

[manic rune]

theres a lot

[turbid maple]

yeah thats the problem

idk which one to use lol

[manic rune]

i guess you could try hooking to all the delete functions currently available 😭

[wind steppe]

wait actually how does negative do it

[manic rune]

is my pc cooked

🥀

[turbid maple]

oh

you could hook Card:remove_from_deck

that might work

[wind steppe]

how do i hook things? can't seem to find anything on it in steamodded

[red flower]

card:stop_hover() runs before card:click()

shouldve expected that

[wind steppe]

wait how tf does lovely actually work

this is confusing

[red flower]

you can hook functions at any time, not only on startup
so you can have a hook on your main file

[red flower]

wdym

[lament sparrow]

Where do you find this in the Balatro source code?

[red flower]

i think the deck is defined in game.lua? search for self.deck

idk how much that will help

[vale glen]

Not sure about that one, then.

Not sure when or how font styling is applied, or if that can be called on any arbitrary string, in any spot.

[wild escarp]

What's the context for defeating a boss blind?

[faint yacht]

I just use if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual and G.GAME.blind.boss.

[wind steppe]

ugly but it works

[red flower]

replace not repetition and not individual for context.main_eval

[wind steppe]

if i have a Card how would i check if it has a specific sticker?

[shut crater]

I believe stickers are stored directly on card.ability
so like eternal would be card.ability.eternal

it's a boolean

[wind steppe]

so for a modded sticker it would be card.ability.prefix_key?

[shut crater]

I believe so

[rapid stag]

[tall jewel]

How do you do the info_queue like that? as in, the "card art by" one

[wind steppe]

might be 3xCredits?

this is a create card function for a booster pack. why does it not spawn the jokers with the correct sticker?

    create_card = function(self, card)
        return SMODS.create_card({set = "Food", area = G.pack_cards, skip_materialize = true, key_append = "does rng seeding matter that much?", stickers = {'para_negativesticker'}, edition = 'e_negative'})
    end,

[lofty sand]

does anyone know how I could import custom sound effects and refer to them in my code?

[tall jewel]

Would much prefer it was custom text instead of predefined, but it's fine

[hard mica]

Does anyone know why the tags don't dissolve after it granted me the effect?

[manic rune]

check SMODS.Sound

[lucid owl]

how would you check that context.other_card is equal to the card currently calculating? i'm doing an enhancement that creates consumables based on chance, but using context.main_scoring is just giving them right away when played rather than adding them after scoring

[wheat jewel]

how do i check if a full hand contains suit of hearts?

[timid star]

im gonna need sound effects

[turbid maple]

gahh can anyone tell me if theres a way to render a joker on top of my joker

[carmine burrow]

as in, you want to know whether there exists a played card (including nonscoring ones) which is a heart?

[wheat jewel]

i've added a few changes for now but i'm testing the joker on checkered deck and spades still proc the +20

trying to have a check for each card for if they are a heart, and keeping a local variable as true until a non heart suit iss hit

[carmine burrow]

this just checks whether the final played card is a heart

you have to remove the all_hearts = true part

[sleek cliff]

NOOOO YOURE SUPPOSED TO BE BEATEN

The fuck you Boss Blinds:

[wheat jewel]

how do i check all of them?

i'm referncing the code for lusty joker to do checks

[carmine burrow]

remove the all_hearts = true line

[lofty sand]

hey does anyone know how I can register my own sound effects folder in my code, so that the game will pull from that folder instead of the default resources folder?

[wheat jewel]

i did that

what do i do in place of it

[carmine burrow]

nothing

also, it won't work anyways

all_hearts is a local variable that goes away as soon as calculate is finished

and comes back as true when calculate is called again

[wheat jewel]

ok i see

[carmine burrow]

so instead you'll need to check the whole hand in joker_main

[wheat jewel]

i tried to look at any documentation for checking the whole hand but couldn't find anything

no jokers in base balatro check for a whole hand of a suit iirc so i didn't have anything proper to go off of

[carmine burrow]

if context.joker_main then
    local all_hearts = true
    for _, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        if not v:is_suit(card.ability.extra.suit) then
            all_hearts = false
        end
    end
    if all_hearts then
        -- scoring goes here
    end
end

if this is wrong, check blackboard

[wheat jewel]

Ok so it's using a for loop to loop through scored cards

gotcha

[wheat jewel]

should i change this as well? loc vars for suit

i changed it from regular to plural

[carmine burrow]

idk enough about localize for that lmao

[wheat jewel]

that's ok

[high sinew]

For vards I would set it up like you did the first variable in localize give me a sec

Set loc vars like this

And but the vars in config

For ur localization file it should look sum like this I’ll show same joker localization

j_mills_jimbo_gump = {
name = "Jimbo Gump",
text = {
"This Joker gains {X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult for every scoring enhanced card",
"Total: {X:mult,C:white}X#2#{} Mult"
}
},

That’s how localized looks

[wheat jewel]

i have everything set up but now it crashes and says the error occurs at line 575

[high sinew]

Idk really how to use that localized I wouldn’t

[hard mica]

Undertale

[high sinew]

Use context intred it’s a lot more effiecent

What does this card do?

[faint yacht]

You're also using center where card should be instead.

[high sinew]

Toga clutch like always?

[wheat jewel]

trying to check for a flush of hearts but when the round finishes, the game crashes at line 575 somehow

does anyone know what could be causing this issue

[daring fern]

Show line 575?

[wheat jewel]

Oh did the whole screenshot not show

damn gimme a second

[faint yacht]

card.ability.extra.mult, not center.ability.extra.mult.

[sleek cliff]

Something funky is happening now

[wheat jewel]

oh i completely missed this

sorryy

[hybrid shadow]

seems like the 1 in 3 chance is happening whenever the mechanoid is triggered?

[wheat jewel]

at 575?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wheat jewel]

Alright got it

[sleek cliff]

I guess so, but I need that to not happen, somehow

[hybrid shadow]

what's the code you got for the destroy function currently?

[sleek cliff]

I've tried the and not context.selling_card but doesn't work

[wheat jewel]

It works now yayyy : D

[daring fern]

if not context.other_context.selling_card?

[hybrid shadow]

why not just change the context to end of round or joker_main?

the mechanoid's already triggering every time so it's not like there's any reason to not have the context for the destroy function be the same time context

[sleek cliff]

this one seems to work

[lofty sand]

does anyone know how to proplerly set up an SMODS.Sound class?

[daring fern]

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

[lofty sand]

I read through that already, I still can't seem to get it working

[daring fern]

SMODS.Sound{
    key = "string",
    path = "stringtolocationinpath"
}

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/4256e14066eae0e896d88e09180c73b0b69f67c2/togastuff.lua#L28
https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/tree/main/assets/sounds
Perhaps an "example" will suffice?

[lofty sand]

that's what I have, double checked the spelling and file location, still doesn't work

[faint yacht]

For sounds too, gotta add mod prefix as part of string.

So, the defined win95start would be called by toga_win95start, where toga is my prefix.

[lofty sand]

does it have to be the full file path, or is it just the file name and extension?

[faint yacht]

Path relative to assets/sounds folder.

So if you have assets/sounds/otherfolder/fart.ogg, path is otherfolder/fart.ogg.

[lofty sand]

so this should work?

[faint yacht]

Should, yes. Whenever you're calling your sound, be it in return { sound = '...' } or in play_sound('...'), don't forget your mod prefix.

[lofty sand]

wait mod prefix? I suppose I missed that part

is that just the mod id?

[daring fern]

No.

[lofty sand]

how can I make/find that then?

[daring fern]

Do you use a header or a JSON?

[lofty sand]

header

[daring fern]

It should say PREFIX somewhere at the top?

[lofty sand]

never made a prefix ig lol ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[faint yacht]

It will default to the first 4 letters of your mod ID, lowercase, if not defined.

[lofty sand]

cool, I just defined a prefix in my header so I'll see if that works

[shut crater]

There is a good chance adding the prefix at this point will break many things

Good luck soldier

[lofty sand]

let's hope that isn't the case lmao

[faint yacht]

What's your mod ID currently?

[lofty sand]

just droljokers, so I'd assume it would default to drol

[faint yacht]

drol, yes.

[shut crater]

Convenient

[lofty sand]

yeah, if the prefix breaks things it wouldn't be that big of an issue

[faint yacht]

You'd just have to readjust things from drol to whatever you put there.

And drol_damn & drol_newports would be the strings to use for calling your sounds.

[lofty sand]

yep, and I don't think I used my mod ID anywhere yet lol

the mod's pretty simple honestly

so far, doesn't seem to have broken anything

yep, prefix solved everything lol

thanks guys :)

[faint yacht]

👍

[sleek cliff]

I forgot I made the Master's Tardis a spectral

[bleak crane]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'source',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Source Error',
        text = {
            "Destroy a {C:attention}random scored card{}",
            "add its {C:blue}Chips{} to this jokers",
            "Mult",

    config = {extra = {mult = 0}},
    rarity = 3,
    atlas = 'kamisjokers',
    pos = { x = 6, y = 1 },
    cost = 6,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.mult}}
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local _card = pseudorandom_element(G.play.cards, pseudoseed('source'))
        if context.joker_main and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
        card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + _card.base.nominal
            return {
                message = 'Upgraded!',
                colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                card = card,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                _card:start_dissolve()
            }
        end
        
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end
}

i have a few issues with this:

• destroys the card before scoring it, which looks ugly
• i only want it to activate the first hand played, then never again that round
• (attached image) ghost cards??? the cards actually exist but they also just... dont. its like the dissolved cards arent actually removed from the deck

[faint yacht]

You'd probably want to "mark" the randomly chosen card first, then use context.destroy_card to check if said card is marked and then return { remove = true } with said context.

[bleak crane]

this is what the eval spits out when i eval it

[bleak crane]

how would i mark it?

[faint yacht]

context.other_card.marked = true... then check context.destroy_card.marked.

[bleak crane]

like this for the context.other_card.marked = true?

[faint yacht]

_card:start_dissolve() does not belong in the return anyway.

But do not forget-

if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card.marked then
  return { remove = true }
end

[daring fern]

context.other_card does not exist here.

[bleak crane]

wha

[bleak crane]

how do i fix that

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[bleak crane]

the cards goal is

• destroy a played card after its scored only in first played hand
• get its chip value
• add it to the mult

[daring fern]

if context.before then
    local c = pseudorandom_element(context.scoring_hand, pseudoseed('source'))
    if c then
        c.marked = true
    end
end
if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card.marked and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
    card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + context.destroy_card:get_chip_bonus()
    return {remove = true}
end
```?

[bleak crane]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local _card = pseudorandom_element(G.play.cards, pseudoseed('source'))
        if context.joker_main and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
        card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + _card.base.nominal
        _card:start_dissolve()
            return {
                message = 'Upgraded!',
                colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                card = card,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
            }
        end
        
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end

        if context.before then
            local c = pseudorandom_element(context.scoring_hand, pseudoseed('source'))
            if c then
                c.marked = true
            end
        end
        if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card.marked and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + context.destroy_card:get_chip_bonus()
            return {remove = true}
        end
    end

like this?

wait

[daring fern]

No, remove everything except joker_main and place it in above.

[bleak crane]

like this,,?

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        
        if context.before then
            local c = pseudorandom_element(context.scoring_hand, pseudoseed('source'))
            if c then
                c.marked = true
            end
        end
        
        if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card.marked and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + context.destroy_card:get_chip_bonus()
            return {remove = true}
        end

        if context.joker_main and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            return {
                message = 'Upgraded!',
                colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                card = card,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
            }
        end
        
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end

    end

[daring fern]

No, remove the second to last if and it's contents.

[bleak crane]

hhh

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        
        if context.before then
            local c = pseudorandom_element(context.scoring_hand, pseudoseed('source'))
            if c then
                c.marked = true
            end
        end

        if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card.marked and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + context.destroy_card:get_chip_bonus()
            return {remove = true}
        end

        if context.joker_main and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            return {
                message = 'Upgraded!',
                colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                card = card,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
            }
        end

    end

ok so like this

[daring fern]

I said the second to last not the last.

[bleak crane]

oh

sorry

[bleak crane]

wouldnt it not play the upgraded message then tho?

[daring fern]

return {remove = true, message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')}

[bleak crane]

ah ok

[bleak crane]

yayy it works noww :3 ty

[bleak crane]

last question, how would i make the card shake until its used? like dna

[daring fern]

local eval = function() return G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 end
juice_card_until(self, eval, true)

[bleak crane]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local eval = function() return G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 end
        juice_card_until(self, eval, true)
        if context.before then
            local c = pseudorandom_element(context.scoring_hand, pseudoseed('source'))
            if c then
                c.marked = true
            end
        end
        
        if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card.marked and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + context.destroy_card:get_chip_bonus()
            return {
                remove = true,
                message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
            }
        end
        
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end

    end

like this?

this seems to crash the game

[daring fern]

No, ```lua
if context.first_hand_drawn and not context.blueprint then
local eval = function() return G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 end
juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
end

[bleak crane]

augh,

[bleak crane]

sry if im being annoying ><

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.first_hand_drawn and not context.blueprint then
            local eval = function() return G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 end
            juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
        end
        if context.before then
            local c = pseudorandom_element(context.scoring_hand, pseudoseed('source'))
            if c then
                c.marked = true
            end
        end
        
        if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card.marked and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + context.destroy_card:get_chip_bonus()
            return {
                remove = true,
                message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
            }
        end
        
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end

    end

so like this?

this seems to just do nothing,

oh nvm it works now

@daring fern new weird issue
if i have 2 or more of this card in hand, they both upgrade when i destroy only 1 card when id rather only upgrade the card if it destroys 1 per

[hard mica]

Do I have to call tag:yep() so my modded tag disappears after it does the effect I made it do

Cause rn once I skipped the blind with my modded tag it stays in the right corner

And doesn't go away lmao

They are watching me

[faint yacht]

Tags do have to be :yep()-ed or :nope()-ed, yes.

[vast night]

hi quick question: for some reason I cant find documentation on how to see if the played hand is specifically only high card. does any1 know a solution?

[daring fern]

if context.scoring_name == "High Card"

[hard mica]

Amazing function names ngl

[faint yacht]

:yep() also takes a few arguments as input, too...

[stiff locust]

where's the key of the deck you are using stored

i can't figure it out

[faint yacht]

G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key

[stiff locust]

this crashes when i try to access it

attempt to index field "effect" (a nil value)

[daring fern]

if G.GAME and G.GAME.selected_back then G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key end

[stiff locust]

i need to get the deck name from this

i'm not even trying to run this function right now

it's just running anyway and crashing right now

function get_current_deck_fallback()
    if Galdur and Galdur.config.use and Galdur.run_setup.choices.deck then
        return Galdur.run_setup.choices.deck.effect.center.key
    elseif G.GAME.viewed_back and G.GAME.viewed_back.effect then
        return G.GAME.viewed_back.effect.center.key
    elseif G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.selected_back.effect then
        return G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key
    end
    return "b_red"
end

[unborn bay]

.... why not just use selected back here

why all this

[stiff locust]

i don't know

i based it on the cardsleeves function for getting it

also it needs to support galdur apparently

I figured it'd be a good idea to make it support galdur

otherwise all of my deck related things break

it just crashes anyway

and i am very confused

[faint yacht]

Is it crashing on the G.GAME.viewed_back elseif?

[stiff locust]

it's crashing on return G.GAME.viewed_back.effect.center.key

[primal robin]

Is there any other way to inrease game speed except of G.SPEEDFACTOR?

Because value > 8 crashed when opening boosters

[stiff locust]

starting to think this isn't the fault of my function

[faint yacht]

...wack.

[stiff locust]

it seems to update only after you beat a blind

i beat a blind and it started working??

[primal robin]

[stiff locust]

this all happens after exiting and re entering a run

[vast night]

if you change a config for example ithe card wont update after restart

hi again: does any 1 know howto cdheck the origin of a consumable?

[stiff locust]

except it's not happening anymore

seemed to be a one time thing for that run?

i'm very confused

yeah it just

fixed itself

cool i guess

[stiff locust]

when you say origin do you mean which mod it came from

or where you got it from

[vast night]

no: this:

                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = (function()
                        SMODS.add_card {
                            set = 'Spectral',
                            key_append = 'rj_enigma' -- Optional, useful for checking the source of the creation in `in_pool`.
                        }
                        G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
                        return true
                    end)
                }))

oh bruh

lmao

[stiff locust]

oh THAT'S WHAT KEY APPEND IS FOR

[faint yacht]

Alternatively, check for .config.center.mod.id or .config.center.original_mod.id of any given card.

[vast night]

well nope

[coral flume]

Yo, this is currently broken with blueprint as they're both ramping the number of repitions. Can someone gimme a hand with that

      if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
      card.ability.extra.repititionsa = card.ability.extra.repititionsa + 1
        return {
                    message = 'Again!',
                    repetitions = card.ability.extra.repititionsa,
                    card = context.other_card
                }
      end

      if context.after then
        card.ability.extra.repititionsa = 0
      end

    end
    -- Currently Broken With Blueprint, I Assume It's Because each repetition stacks

[onyx ridge]

guys, anyone know how to add the card spin when adding enhancement?

[vast night]

add a "not context.blueprint"

[daring fern]

card:flip()

[vast night]

hey do you know how to win the blind?

like

in a function

[coral flume]

That just stops blueprint from working

[vast night]

i mean in the scaling part

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[vast night]

wait and the money is set where then?

nvm

wtf did i say

where do i set the money

lemme look in the source

[daring fern]

You mean change the blind reward?

[vast night]

no just the player's mone

i wanna set it to 0

but i forgot :lmfao:

[daring fern]

ease_dollars(-G.GAME.dollars)

[vast night]

yea also just found out

[coral flume]

She retriggers cards once per each card scored before it, right now shes retriggering cards a number of times equal to there position

[vast night]

yippe hi again: it crashes when i call DT_win_blind

[daring fern]

No, I was showing you how to do it, that was from DebugPlus

[vast night]

oh shit

[daring fern]

So it's retriggering 1 too many times?

[vast night]

how do i do that then 😭

[coral flume]

Yeah. Blueprint is doing it correctly with this code

      if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
        if not context.blueprint then
          card.ability.extra.repititionsa = card.ability.extra.repititionsa + 1
        end

[vast night]

sorry if i sound dumb, but what I'm doing is to win the blind when the joker is sold.

[daring fern]

You do ```lua
if context.selling_self then
-- the code I showed
end

[vast night]

oooooooooooh

bruh

aha

lol

sorry

[slow brook]

is it possible to force a certain card to be drawn at the first hand of the round?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[vast night]

hey I'm so sorry to gother again, but how do I get the amount of jokers to the right of the triggered joker?

[misty shoal]

any ideas why the joker is invisible in game?

to clarify it doesn't show up it is not 'invisible joker'

[vast night]

did you add the joker?

like

did you see it in your collection

or isn't it there

[misty shoal]

yeah it's there

[vast night]

with texture?

[misty shoal]

no

thats the issue

[vast night]

like you have an empty collection tab

go onto the mods tab, click your mod and go to "additions"

is it there

[misty shoal]

it's there I can tell

just invisble

[vast night]

ok

can you show a picture of your file structure

[daring fern]

What does the 2x look like?

[vast night]

exactly

that was what i was abt to say lol

[misty shoal]

'

[vast night]

i want to know the amount of jokers there are to the right of the "triggered" joker

[vast night]

is it 2x?

like double size

[misty shoal]

yeah

[vast night]

are you sure that the joker size is corrext

like

px and py

[vast night]

huh

tf

can you try sending me the mod and ill look?

[daring fern]

What joker is the "triggered" joker?

[misty shoal]

very empty rn so should be pretty straight forward
honestly wondering if i just misspelled 'SupremeTomfoolery' somewhere lol

[vast night]

like
SomeJoker | TheJoker | AnotherJoker | JokeryJoker | Joker
And the triggered joker would be for ex "TheJoker" and i wanna get the amount of jokers to the right, so for ex. 3

[daring fern]

local pos
if context.post_trigger then
    for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do
        if G.jokers.cards[i] == context.other_card then
            pos = i
        end
    end
end
```?

[hard needle]

can someone explain how invisible joker adds a line to its desc if theres a negative joker

[vast night]

what

[vast night]

hmmmm i wonder why...

[hard needle]

yeah

[daring fern]

I think it uses main_end

[vast night]

wdym

[misty shoal]

What

How

[hard needle]

could you explain further

[vast night]

y is 11 lol

[misty shoal]

Yeah I see that but like

[vast night]

what do you mean with extra line

[misty shoal]

How on earth did I fuck up typing 0 twice I swear

[misty shoal]

It wasn’t like that before though?

[hard needle]

interesting.. can you only add something to main end with localize?

[red flower]

no you can also build the ui structure yourself

[hard needle]

what if i want to just add a line like invis joker not something like blueprint

[red flower]

you would make the ui structure for that

something like this
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/1f60413b8a13267634fa8e9945dfa37358f40c04/src/jokers/15Ignister.lua#L1442

but tbh the easiest way with steamodded is to do 2 separate descriptions in your localization file and switching between them

[hard needle]

hm

how would i do that though

[red flower]

return key = "j_modprefix_otherkey"

in loc_vars

all of this is in the docs btw

[vast night]

hey @red flower. How do I get all jokers? #G.jokers.cards crashes

[red flower]

you need the amount of jokers?

[vast night]

i need the amount of jokers to the right of a specific jokers

joker*

[red flower]

loop through G.jokers.cards to increase a counter until you find your joker

[vast night]

like this

amount_of_jokers = function (card, mm)
    local pos
    local start
    pos = 0
    start = 0
    for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do
        if start == 1 then
            pos = pos + 1
        end
        if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
            start = 1
        end
    end
    return pos * mm
end

[red flower]

no

[vast night]

oh

[red flower]

for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do
     if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
          return (#G.jokers.cards - i) * mm -- idk what mm is
    end
end

[vast night]

mm is just xmult and i called it multmult

sorry

thanks

[vast night]

but OOOOOOOOOOh

ok

hey do you know how i know if the current game state is the collection or in a game

like

G.jokers only exists while in the game

so it crashes in the main menu

[red flower]

if G.jokers then

[vast night]

k thanks lol

[red flower]

oh also the code is wrong lol

i just read that you wanted the jokers to the right let me fix

[vast night]

thanks :)

how many ppl do you help per day lol

[primal robin]

yes

[red flower]

do you know how much bread you have eaten in your life

[vast night]

nope

what do i need to change to fix the code

[red flower]

edited the message

[cyan lagoon]

why this no workie?

[faint yacht]

self > card

[cyan lagoon]

i hate how half the time it's only obvious when i see the solution

[slate widget]

hey guys, im brand new to this. what base balatro file contains the jokers? im trying to make a joker that adds a negative perkeo every time a blind is selected or a card is played. not sure where to find it, or add negative to it for that matter! this is what i have so far for doing that

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card{key="j_perkeo", edition='e_negative'}

card.lua has the cards

[slate widget]

thank you sm!!! would i have that in create_card()?

[red flower]

no, remove that line and replace it with what i wrote

[slate widget]

thank you so much fr!! 🐐
this look okay?

if context.setting_blind then -- Triggers upon selecting a blind
            SMODS.add_card{key="j_perkeo", edition='e_negative'}
        end

idk why the end did that in the preview but lol

[red flower]

yeah

[slate widget]

how would i make an effect trigger every time a card is played? trying to piggyback off the hiker card but im unsure what i should actually be copying from that

[red flower]

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

[slate widget]

you're so goated thank you

[knotty compass]

heya, question anyone could tell me how to detect consumable being destroyed, and what that consumable was?

[red flower]

there's no context for it and the game doesn't distinguish (directly) between used/sold/destroyed
you can make hooks for it tho but it's not as straightforward as it might seem

[knotty compass]

ahh i see, but actually thats fine in my case i dont need to tell the difference so if i can detect one of those thats good too!

[red flower]

i would hook Card:remove_from_deck and check if the card is a consumable

[knotty compass]

i see! thanks!
