@slow brook This means you have to write your thing under descriptions/Other, and that the key has to be your key but lowercase with '_seal' next to it

[slow brook]

so just key_seal in descriptions/other?

[maiden phoenix]

yes

[hard mica]

i can try putting the draw function as well i guess

yeah it not related

[dapper sun]

how do i make a ui element appear bc of my joker? i don't know any jokers that do that,,

[hard mica]

looking at the function more , it seems to be doing 0 + 3 (my set money that needs to return )

the crash happens once my seal effect is not on gold seal effect and i try to score the said card with the seal other than gold seal effect

[wild escarp]

Anyone know why this doesn't do anything? I adapted the DNA code from vanillaremade.

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
        for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
            if v.seal then 
                G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
                local copy_card = copy_card(v, nil, nil, G.playing_card)
                copy_card:add_to_deck()
                G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
                table.insert(G.playing_cards, copy_card)
                G.hand:emplace(copy_card)
                copy_card.states.visible = nil

                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        copy_card:start_materialize()
                        return true
                    end
                }))
                return {
                    message = localize('k_copied_ex'),
                    colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                    func = function() -- This is for timing purposes, it runs after the message
                        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                            func = function()
                                SMODS.calculate_context({ playing_card_added = true, cards = { copy_card } })
                                return true
                            end
                        }))
                    end
                }
            end
        end
    end
end

[slow brook]

how can i give a played card a seal?

[daring fern]

card:set_seal("modprefix_sealkey")

[hard mica]

mightve found the problem , the elseif statement might be causing the problem

[slow brook]

what do i write inside pseudorandom() ?

[dapper sun]

a key

or seed or whatever you wanna call it

just a unique enough string

i recommend using the joker name

or seal name

etc

[slow brook]

ill just write prefix_jokername

[dapper sun]

that's what i do

[dapper sun]

uhhhhhhhhhhh

[wild escarp]

bump

[manic rune]

like, opening a menu?

[dapper sun]

yea pretty much

[red flower]

remove the cardarea check

[manic rune]

you can reference from how run info/settings buttons open the menu, its hard to explain lol

but there should be a function like this which you can run from your jokers

[dapper sun]

ty

i am actually making an inventory/crafting thing kinda like yggdrasil

but connected to a specific joker

[manic rune]

mm i see

looking forward to your take on that :p

[slow brook]

i wanted a joker to have a 1/2 to give each played card a frozen seal, but this seems to give a seal to the joker and not the cards, what should i change card:set_seal so it works on cards played and not on the joker?

[red flower]

context.other_card

also don't return it

[dapper sun]

ty! all i have rn is this: #⚙・modding-general message

[slow brook]

if only it didn't give all the seals at once and actually waited for the animation to end and my joker would shake everytime...

tried doing card:juice_up but it only did it once at the start

[daring fern]

Put in an event?

[slow brook]

oh my god he's having a seizure lmao

I may have forgot the return in the event

[charred magnet]

you alive still?

[charred magnet]

or u alive still

?

[slow brook]

but how do i do set_seal if the event doesn't have context

[slow brook]

yup

[charred magnet]

i made a joker

it gains 0.15x mult for every face card scored not effected by paradolia

[daring fern]

card:set_seal("modprefix_sealkey")

[charred magnet]

also do you know how to make packs?

like joker packs so one mod can have mulibul joekrs

spelling :/

[red flower]

save the card to a local variable and use that in the event

[red flower]

you mean how to make multiple jokers in one mod or how to make a booster?

[charred magnet]

first one u said

[red flower]

you just put them in one file

[charred magnet]

like all in main

.lua

or like

[red flower]

yes

[charred magnet]

bc i have a json

[slow brook]

in card:set_seal card is my joker and not cards i played

[charred magnet]

OHHH

WAIT

[red flower]

you can also have multiple files if you prefer that but it's not mandatory

[charred magnet]

oh ye

i get it

ty

[daring fern]

Yes, you replace card with the card you want to put the seal on.

[slow brook]

works :D

[dapper sun]

it works ty :3

[manic rune]

:3 i did nothing but no probs

[slow brook]

how can I add a info queue of my modded seal to a joker?

[timid star]

used what @crisp coral used for their blind descriptions lol hope you're ok with that so i can also give my boss blinds descriptions

[manic rune]

is this blindexpander

[timid star]

idk what myst used but i used it

[manic rune]

yeah blindexpander is a lib mod for adding that

[timid star]

hmm cool

[slow brook]

do i just make an info queue that refers to the localization of sealkey_seal

[dapper sun]

you showed me G.FUNCS.overlay_menu so i'd say u helped

[midnight coyote]

how do i grab the key of a joker

wait hold on

bnvm

ignore

[red flower]

it's not nice to steal the key to one's house

[hard mica]

i dont know how to fix this problem , can anyone help?

[dapper sun]

not that that'll stop anyone >:3

[red flower]

{ set = "Other", key = "key" } i think

[charred magnet]

[manic rune]

also, which part doesnt work

[charred magnet]

uhm idk it crashs when i load my thing up idk how to make 2 jokers

so thats what im trying to do

[manic rune]

whats the crash log

[charred magnet]

some very long thing

[manic rune]

send it here

crash logs are very useful, because they can tell you what part of your code is wrong

[manic rune]

mm i see

[slow brook]

you can also send a screenshot btw

[charred magnet]

to big doesnt all fit

[manic rune]

this file doesnt exist

[charred magnet]

:3

oop

[charred magnet]

what about now

[manic rune]

same thing, GlichedJoker.png doesnt exist

[charred magnet]

argh

[charred magnet]

...

uhm

[hard mica]

please help

[manic rune]

what line is that

[charred magnet]

who u talking to?

[manic rune]

you

this, right?

[charred magnet]

idk

[manic rune]

you need nil checks

wdym you dont know 😭

[charred magnet]

and i do this how?

[manic rune]

check line 76 in main.lua of your mod

[charred magnet]

local hand_size = #G.hand.cards

[snow vale]

how can i create my own joker cards? (my own mod)

[charred magnet]

go on youtube

thats what i did

[snow vale]

ah

ok

[daring fern]

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

[manic rune]

there are times when G.hand.cards might not exist, especially when you are not in a run, you want to do something like:

local hand_size = 1
if G.hand and G.hand.cards then
  hand_size = #G.hand.cards
end
...

[charred magnet]

me no comperhend

[slow brook]

just copy and paste then

you will at some point

[charred magnet]

where tho

[manic rune]

sob

[charred magnet]

...

[slow brook]

instead of local hand_size = #G.hand.cards

[manic rune]

replace this line with that

[charred magnet]

oh ok

[slow brook]

can a seal have its own color to LOC_COLOURS created? just like how SMODS.Rarity or ConsumableType add one

[charred magnet]

worded

[charred magnet]

prob

[dapper sun]

where can i find the collection ui table?

[slow brook]

can a seal even have a G.C color as it's badge_colour?

[red flower]

create_UIBox_your_collection... in UI definitions

[daring fern]

Yes.

[dapper sun]

?

that's not what i was asking

i was asking where i can find it in the code so i can reference it for my own ui menu

[red flower]

and what did i say wrong

[dapper sun]

ohhh i misunderstood ur answer mb

[slow brook]

so how do i? both of these don't work

[daring fern]

Is G.C.pvz_frozencolor defined?

[slow brook]

yes, it even works in a joker description

[red flower]

is it in LOC_COLOURS or in G.C tho

[north stone]

hey im brand new to modding balatro, how can i check if all joker slots are full?

[slow brook]

I thought they were the same thing?

it works when I do {C:pvz_frozencolor}text{}, but doesn't here

[red flower]

#G.jokers.cards + G.GAME.joker_buffer >= G.jokers.config.card_limit

[north stone]

thanks

[red flower]

they're not

[high sinew]

did u set up its hex?

[north stone]

also does anyone know any visual studio code plugins can i install to make writing lua easier

[slow brook]

yes, its a gradient with 'frozencolor' as its key

[red flower]

yeah search lua and install the one by sumneko

[north stone]

alright thanks

[red flower]

also add smods to your workspace

[daring fern]

And the lovely dump.

[high sinew]

this is how i do mine very effiecent way to set up colors this way

ceate a table for all ur colors

[red flower]

use G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.prefix_key

[slow brook]

I wanted mine to be a gradient changing between colors, or is a seal not able to have it's badge a gradient

[north stone]

yeah theres some annoying errors now how do i do that

[red flower]

file > add to workspace > open the smods folder and the lovely folder in your mods

you might need to enable indexing i think it doesn't work first time for some people

[north stone]

thaks

[red flower]

oh yeah forgot they're not defined first
SMODS.Gradients.prefix_key?

[slow brook]

instead of the whole G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS or after that?

[red flower]

instead

[north stone]

how do i enable indexing?

[slow brook]

still doesn't work

[red flower]

does it crash?

[high sinew]

havent messed with gradients sorry

[red flower]

uhh no idea

[slow brook]

wait it does now

[slow brook]

good question cuz i added the lovely dump and smods-main to my workspace like a few days ago and it's yet to do anything at all

[red flower]

i open my whole mods folder instead

i dont know if that makes a difference

[north stone]

oh that helped thank you

[slow brook]

oh my god everything is so clear now there's no yellow lines everywhere and it auto completes everything I feel like I've met god himself

[north stone]

same

lmao

are there any docs for steammodded?

[slow brook]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation

[north stone]

tysm

[high sinew]

just curious if possible if I wanna suit imma make to count for any hearts trigger is there a way to do that?

[red flower]

hook card:is_suit

[high sinew]

ok like build an if then for if is_suit('new_suit') then is_suit('Hearts')?

not the full logic hopefully u get what i mean

[placid star]

how can you get the overall run seed mid game?

[daring fern]

It's either G.SEED or G.GAME.pseudorandom.seed.

[manic rune]

G.GAME.pseudorandom.seed?

[dapper sun]

why aren't the 2 black box thingies being listed horizontally despite me using G.UIT.R?

[manic rune]

yeah, what smtcom

[daring fern]

Yes.

I had this?

[red flower]

change both of them to C nodes

[dapper sun]

ty

[red flower]

that might cause the stuff inside to be vertical

but you need to alternate between C and R

[dapper sun]

ah ok

[keen totem]

gotta love forgetting to do the most basic thing ever

at least itll work now

[sleek siren]

How can I get a list of what consumables I have?

[slow brook]

what size is a seal in vanilla?

[hushed field]

Trying to set up some sprite manipulation. I assume I've forgotten to properly set a value somewhere, but I'm not sure yet why setColor would throw a fit

[daring fern]

71 by 95?

[hushed field]

they're sprites of the same size as cards/jokers

[daring fern]

G.consumeables.cards?

[sleek siren]

Thank you!! ^^

[hushed field]

Second screenshot is setting the sprites as a shared sheet in the G object. First screenshot is the drawstep to pick the right ones to draw

[keen totem]

is there a list of all of the style tags i can do to text anywhere?

[north stone]

how do i give myself a specific consumable

[daring fern]

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

[bleak crane]

thoughts on the design ? :3 still trying to figure out what it should do

[daring fern]

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

[zealous glen]

I had had the idea of creating Temporary copies of cards, and as a sub-idea, creating Temporary Glass copies of cards

[bleak crane]

actually i have an idea

[keen totem]

something to do with broken glass cards

[native zinc]

who wants to be crossmodded by Boring vanilla+ mod

[bleak crane]

how would i unflip-over cards

[keen totem]

or selling

[elfin stratus]

guys

[north stone]

if i wanted to give myself the aura spectral card what would the key be

[elfin stratus]

how do i check for cards held in hand?

[hushed field]

ah damn, might be the first person reporting this crash. I guess I'll have to mess around with how I've set up sprites a bit more and see what I can figure out

[red flower]

G.hand.cards

[daring fern]

c_aura?

[elfin stratus]

thanks

[north stone]

ah tysm

[abstract umbra]

hey, how do I add animations to a joker? I tried looking at the Jimball code but couldn't find anything and the mod for the Aura mod but don't understand what it's doing

[slow brook]

animations as in changing it's sprite?

[abstract umbra]

Yeah

[slow brook]

idk

[abstract umbra]

Ah

[hushed field]

I think Jimball does it by changing the atlas coordinates every few frames

[abstract umbra]

i know but I couldn't find the code that does that

i tried searching through a bunch of the files but found nothing that looked like it would do anything with visuals. Maybe i just missed it

[native zinc]

jimball... my nemesis in Computationally Annoying

[bleak crane]

how do i check if a glass card breaks?
i wanna make a joker that does something when a glass card breaks

[native zinc]

take ownership

[hushed field]

I don't know if Jimball's a great example to look at. The visuals are basically all located in Cryptid's Game:update hook

there's no central place where all the jimball related code happens

and a lot of it is hard coded in

[abstract umbra]

ah, okay

I think currently, with DrawStep, there's a lot easier ways to set it up, but I'm not sure how I'd personally set it up, as I haven't tried to animate any sprites yet

[keen totem]

what context does Blackboard score in?

im making another type of joker that scales depending on the cards in your hand

[hushed field]

I'd check VanillaRemade's blackboard and see what context it uses

[keen totem]

whats vanillaremade

well i mean like where is it

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[manic rune]

i should link that to #1349064230825103441, actually

r there any people that helped with vanilla remade? (asides from N' themselves ofc)

[daring fern]

Yes.

[manic rune]

mm

i will figure out everyone

[north stone]

how do i make one specific word in the description of a joker a different colour?

[manic rune]

i think it makes sense to credit everyone

[hushed field]

I'm dumb, ugh. I'll post fixed code for the setColor issue I had in a sec, just so that if someone in the future goes through chat, they can check how I solved it, haha

[abstract umbra]

how does drawstep work? The smods wiki documentation is a bit lacking in how it works/what it does

[manic rune]

hopefully this is all

[slow brook]

what? every single other sound works and they are in the same folder

[manic rune]

can you show me the sounds folder

[slow brook]

PvZJokers/assets/sounds

[red flower]

?

[manic rune]

what did i do 😭

[north stone]

^

[manic rune]

yeah so uh {C:attention}word{} something

[north stone]

ty

[slow brook]

{C:attention}word{} for orange

[slow brook]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#loc_colours-table this has all the colors you can use

[north stone]

thanks

[red flower]

are those supposed to be the people who worked on vanillaremade because those are the wrong people

[manic rune]

oh

i was basing on the image somethingcom sent

[red flower]

@sturdy compass @marble flint

[manic rune]

wha

[red flower]

(sorry for ping)

[manic rune]

OH

I TYPED BAZER AND NOT BAKER

saldmsa

[slow brook]

figured it out, it needed a prefx but now the sound doesn't play when giving the seal, but after the entire hand

[manic rune]

and astra sent me to astrap too

sob

yeah im dumb, sorry

[sturdy compass]

LMAOOOOOOO

[hushed field]

I don't understand it well enough to properly explain it, but basically, it's a way for sprites and objects to be drawn without having to patch or hook into an update function. All card objects get checked for every SMODS.DrawStep available, and run the code in each based on their order, to draw the elements of the sprites that are needed

[manic rune]

IM TERRIBLY SORRY

[slow brook]

shouldn't set_seal also use the sound of the seal at the same time?

[manic rune]

😭

[daring fern]

Yes?

[slow brook]

then why doesn't it play for every card, but instead plays e.g. 4 at once after the hand plays

[keen totem]

do scaling jokers scale before or after they score?

[daring fern]

Before.

[keen totem]

alr

[shut crater]

Just a guess, but it sounds like probably set_seal uses an event, so you're queueing an event in an event

[shut crater]

(didn't reply for some reason)

[slow brook]

but actually setting the seals work, they get the seal texture and everything correctly

it's the little sparkling sound, it plays after the hand

[daring fern]

That's because that is in a event.

[slow brook]

yeah but without the event it sets all the seals at once before even counting the hand

[daring fern]

And it would call the event when the events are queued so it would go at the very end, after the hand has finished scoring.

[keen totem]

what do if i scale and score using joker_main?
would i make two ( if context.joker_main's ) or two calculate functions?

[slow brook]

can't you just scale before you score?

[keen totem]

if the message is part of returning, wouldnt i need two functions to output two messages?

[hushed field]

you cannot have two of the same context

the calculate function is ran every single time, from top to bottom. If you have the same context multiple times, whichever is higheri n the code will run first, and if there's a return, the other one will not ever be reached

[slow brook]

I mean I could play the sound manually but then if I do an another joker that also makes cards into frozen seals I would need to also have the sound there

[hushed field]

Can you check if the sound plays correctly for other seals?

[keen totem]

so if i wanted to scale, output a scaling message, then score, and output a scoring message, do i need two calculate functions?

[daring fern]

It would be the same for all seals if there is an event in a event.

[slow brook]

then how do I fix that, set_seal has to be inside that event otherwise it doesn't work properly

[marble flint]

I don't particularly care if you credit me there (I'm in the git history anyways, and besides, I didn't do all that much). If you want to, though, I'm not going to stop you

[hushed field]

do seals not always get set in an event? I do think Cryptid might run an event before the set_seal event that plays a sound, but I assumed that sound was for whatever card is used

[slow brook]

screw it then i'll just delete the default seal sound and manually play it inside that event

[manic rune]

i already credited u in #1349064230825103441, since i believe all contributions matter :p

though if you dont want to, then i can definitely remove it whenever you want

[bleak crane]

how would i make it so that it gives me the spectral card after the glass card breaks?

[daring fern]

Put it in an event?

[bleak crane]

i dont know what that means

oh wait

nvm

[slow brook]

what is that click sound before i draw new cards?

[daring fern]

It's the sound of the seal being placed.

[slow brook]

damn so that's also because of me putting it in an event

[manic rune]

just to be sure, this makes it so a dummy calculate for m_stone will be added if no mods take ownership of that, right?

[daring fern]

Couldn't you just do G.P_CENTERS.m_stone.calculate = G.P_CENTERS.m_stone.calculate or function() end?

[manic rune]

that makes more sense, yeah

thanks

[bleak crane]

like this,?

[daring fern]

Yes, but that would also include modded enhancements that shatter.

[slow brook]

does anyone know what modded joker adds seals to played cards?

[bleak crane]

wdym?

[manic rune]

.shattered can be used by more than just glass cards

some mods may use it for their modded enhancements

[slow brook]

if another person's mod adds a card that can shatter it will work on it

[bleak crane]

ogh

how would i even fix that

[daring fern]

http://github.com/Somethingcom515/SealsOnJokers/blob/allinone/main.lua#L4057

[red flower]

hmm smods already takes ownership of glass, so it could add a card.glass_trigger like with lucky

ive seen this question about glass breaking multiple times this month

[daring fern]

I couldn't find that in the entire lovely dump so I assume not.

[red flower]

it's in smods game objects

or whatever that file is called

[daring fern]

Yes, that was in my lovely dump.

[violet oasis]

I'm trying to make it so when a specific joker expires, it adds the Tarot Merchant voucher to the run. I have the joker expiring correctly, but I'm not sure how to do the voucher part.

Does anyone know how I can achieve that? I tried looking up how decks do it, but it wasn't clear to me

[daring fern]

You would create the card then apply it to run then remove the card?

[red flower]

they could add it here i mean
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/64ebb1780c917bb0ff4689420d357049ce9f8d57/src/game_object.lua#L3038

[slow brook]

did you have the same problem as me? because in vanilla spectral cards give seals to only one card, and i want to give to multiple, how do i solve it then

[violet oasis]

Do vouchers also use create_card?

[elfin stratus]

okay i give up, can someone give me an example on making something similar to baron?

i cant get it to work

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/301c21c024837870f603852538edceecbffd189d/src/jokers.lua#L2054

[manic rune]

vanillaremade probably has the answer to where my dad is

[daring fern]

Yes, it has to exist to redeem it.

[elfin stratus]

it seems the problem was that i didnt type x_mult correctly

[keen totem]

how do i get the suit of a card

[daring fern]

card.base.suit

[violet oasis]

That worked, but I also managed to apply it directly with: G.GAME.used_vouchers[self.config.extra.voucher] = true

So it doesn't need to show up and manually be redeemed

Thanks for the help!

[daring fern]

No? Because then observatory wouldn't work?

[violet oasis]

What do you mean?

[daring fern]

Because it doesn't exist in G.vouchers so it wouldn't calculate.

[violet oasis]

Hold on, let me try it with a different voucher so I can see if it's not just visual

Yeah, you're right. The voucher shows up on the "Vouchers redeemed this run" screen, but it doesn't really have any effect

Sorry about that

[snow vale]

how to make +mult color for descriptions?

[daring fern]

{C:mult}

[snow vale]

oh ok

ty

uh

what do i do

[daring fern]

Is the image in the correct spot?

[snow vale]

i didnt touch the hollow knight one

but i made one by myself

ig it's wrongly

this is my mod's assets

how big did it had to be?

[daring fern]

Is this in the 1x and 2x folders?

[snow vale]

1x

(the 2x is exactly the same but 2x size)

[daring fern]

What does your atlas look like?

[snow vale]

this

the tutorial didnt tell me anything 😭

[elfin stratus]

funny joker

[daring fern]

No, your atlas not your assets.

[snow vale]

eh

how do i see it 😔

[daring fern]

SMODS.Atlas?

[daring fern]

Are you sure the files not called jokers.png.png?

[snow vale]

i think yes

my pc is goofy ahh

[pure salmon]

if i have an enhancement wooden and my mod prefix is gb what would that enhancement's key be

[snow vale]

ok imma try now

[daring fern]

m_gb_wooden

[manic rune]

m_gb_wooden?

[pure salmon]

got it

i had it flipped mb

[manic rune]

thats rude :(

[snow vale]

ehh

[manic rune]

i will get you next time somethingcom

[snow vale]

wait

found the error

[errant karma]

malverk pack wont work please help

[snow vale]

how do i unlock a locked card (to test)?

[manic rune]

debugplus

[snow vale]

got it

[daring fern]

You need to put \' instead of '

For Something's

[errant karma]

mk

[snow vale]

so then... what do i do with debugplus?

oh nvm

[manic rune]

hold tab

[snow vale]

nvm

[errant karma]

still not working
am i missing something else?

[daring fern]

Is it not loading or is it crashing?

[errant karma]

not showing up in the malverk menu

[keen totem]

how do i change a joker's local variable (like for scaling)

[daring fern]

joker.ability.place = value?

[snow vale]

erm why wont it show any number

[daring fern]

Code?

[keen totem]

that throws up an error tho

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

You put ] instead of }

[snow vale]

o

in both?

or just that one

[daring fern]

Only the bottom one.

[outer basalt]

the dang card still isnt moving 😭
I wrote this code to try and get it to move up/down one slot
jokerslot being where the card you want to move currently is

[keen totem]

loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.Xmult}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context) -- idk why it indented here (on discord), but i dont feel like fixing it
        return {
            card = card,
            card.ability.extra.Xmult = 0,
            Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
            message = "X" .. card.ability.extra.Xmult .. " Mult",
            colour = G.C.MULT
        }
    end

[daring fern]

You need to put it outside of the return.

[elfin stratus]

does this look balanced?

[errant karma]

checked for everything and i do not know why it isnt loading

[snow vale]

not working, can you write me what i have to write exactly? (just the necessary part)

[daring fern]

{C:mult}+1{}

[snow vale]

nope not working

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

What does it look like?

[errant karma]

i think i'm still doing something wrong but i dont know what im doing wrong

[snow vale]

🤑

[daring fern]

Are you starting a new run?

[snow vale]

nope

[red flower]

where are you calling this? is there a joker in the other slot?

[snow vale]

also this is the code

[keen totem]

how do i get a reference to the player's dollar count

i found somewhere that said one way, then that way crashed

[daring fern]

G.GAME.dollars?

[daring fern]

Do you have talisman installed?

[keen totem]

yes

[daring fern]

Are you comparing it?

[outer basalt]

im calling this from the joker thats moving, and yes.
The normal jimbo is supposed to move towards the golden joker to be right next to it

[keen totem]

yes

[daring fern]

to_big(G.GAME.dollars)

[red flower]

hmm ive never done it before let me test it myself

[keen totem]

and what does to_big do

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/301c21c024837870f603852538edceecbffd189d/src/jokers.lua#L4919

[daring fern]

You should also to_big() the number you are comparing it with.

[keen totem]

how would i go about getting the amount of digits in a talisman number

[snow vale]

IT WORKS NOW!! (yay)

[keen totem]

are you supposed to put all of your jokers into one png or can you use seperate ones?

[daring fern]

Yes, you can do both.

[slow brook]

what is the difference between misc.labels. rarity and misc.dictionary rarity? when is one used and when the second?

[bleak crane]

how would i make a deck that turns all cards in deck into steel cards?

[keen totem]

just do some weird ass math with the pos value?

[snow vale]

guys new card!!

[daring fern]

No?

[keen totem]

well both use my first jokers sprite rn

so idk whats going on there

[daring fern]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        if not G.playing_cards then return false end
        for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
            v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["m_steel"])
        end
        return true
    end
}))
```?

[high sinew]

Im trying to have the table in first pic see if jokers highlighted have strings in sweet. I still am unable to use it meaning its not reading the strings correctly anyone know?

[red flower]

this works for me

[snow vale]

how can i make it so it checks if there are any face cards played?

[slow brook]

how do i set a joker's rarity a modded one i added? because prefix_key doesn't work

[daring fern]

rarity = "modprefix_key"

[snow vale]

how can i make so a card checks if there is any face card played?

(this card)

[keen totem]

G.play.cards is the table to check
theres prob something called :isFace() too

just loop thru that and check

[snow vale]

okk

[red flower]

you don't need to repeat it after 4 minutes
you can loop through context.scoring_card/full_hand and check playing_card:is_face()

[bleak crane]

2 new decks :3

[outer basalt]

huh strange. It's nice to know that it does work and that im not on a wild goose chase 😭

[errant karma]

i am incredibly confused
malverk just WONT SHOW my pack 😭

[snow vale]

that happened to me too lol

so i just installed premade packs and added em like normal mods

[errant karma]

no but i actually have no idea why its not showing mine

everything looks fine

[snow vale]

neither :( sry

how do i fix this???

[high sinew]

use other_card instead of playing

[red flower]

1. context.full_hand is an attribute in specific contexts, but you want a general context check beforehand like context.joker_main, check the docs
2. full_hand is a list of cards played, full_hand.playing_card doesn't mean anything

[snow vale]

what i want is that if there is no face cards it gives mult

[red flower]

for that you would do a for loop until you encounter a face card and then set a flag to true, if the flag is true then you don't give mult

I don't know how to explain it better without coding it myself

[snow vale]

mhm imma try

[high sinew]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_face() then

[red flower]

that won't work unless you do something convoluted because they want to check the entire hand once not each individual card at a time

[snow vale]

what do i add after context.scoring_hand?

[daring fern]

context.scoring_hand is the hand so you need to iterate over it.

[snow vale]

ok so then

[wind steppe]

with localization files: how do i set the text at the bottom of a booster pack? (above "Choose 1")

[red flower]

if context.joker_main then
    local faced = false
    for _, c in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        if c:is_face() then
            faced = true
            break
        end
    end
    if not faced then
        return { mult = 1 }
    end
end

[snow vale]

thanks

[daring fern]

You do groupkey = "Whatyouwantittosay" in misc > dictionary I think.

[high sinew]

ah my bad ur right sorry that is indivual card check

[wind steppe]

no prefix?

[daring fern]

No prefix, I think.

[daring fern]

Maybe it works with and without?

[modern kindle]

You guys are awesome

[thorn flame]

anyone know of a simpler way i can isolate the parts (3oak, pair) of a full house?

[daring fern]

Probably not.

[keen totem]

how are you doing it right now exactly?

[wind steppe]

i have a sticker that gives +1 joker slot, but i can't obtain a joker with said sticker if my joker slots are full. how do i fix this?

[high sinew]

im not sure why but this isnt working were only when certain jokers in sweet u can use anyone know?

[wind steppe]

relevant code:

Card.remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
     if self.ability.para_negativesticker and (not self.area or not G.pack_cards or (self.area ~= G.pack_cards)) and G.jokers ~= nil then
         G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit - 1
    end
    return para_card_removal_old(self, card, from_debuff)
end
Card.add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
     if self.ability.para_negativesticker then
         G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
    end
    return para_card_addition_old(self, card, from_debuff)
end

[daring fern]

Check how negative does it?

[wind steppe]

SMODS.Sticker{
    key = 'negativesticker',
    sets = {Joker = true},
    rate = 0,
    atlas = 'Stickers',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    should_apply = false,
    badge_colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION,
}

[thorn flame]

I’m just brainstorming right now i donr have anything actually down lmao

im thinking while i mow the lawn

[keen totem]

go through the cards you want to check and find which has 2 and which has 3 of the instance

[thorn flame]

counting tye cards is

yeah

i was hoping i wouldnt have to do that

[red flower]

where do you need it

[keen totem]

lets say you have a table {5, 5, 5, 4, 4}

go and get the first value

then loop thru for the first that isnt that value

[wind steppe]

negative is just config = { card_limit = 1 }, which doesn't apply to stickers

(for vanillaremade at least)

[keen totem]

then one of the table library's functions will tell you how many of that value are in said table

[red flower]

yeah editions are hardcoded to check

[daring fern]

Yes, I meant check how you're allowed to buy negative will full slots.

[keen totem]

quickly add a card that gives a few extra slots then instantly remove it afterwards

[red flower]

the game already does this, you don't need to do it yourself btw

[placid silo]

could you do ```lua
card.edition.card_limit = 1

?

where card is the card the seal is attached to?

[wind steppe]

its a sticker though

[placid silo]

oop sticker, huh?

[wind steppe]

not an edition

[placid silo]

uhhh

[wind steppe]

vanillaremade has nothing and i can't find where that happens in base balatro

[daring fern]

If it was a seal that still wouldn't work.

[red flower]

G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space

[snow vale]

how can i make multiple jokers? making another SMODS.Joker{}?

[placid silo]

I think the card_limit variable might still be able to be set within the sticker code as long as you can get access to the card the sticker is on, unless you want to just apply negative to the card itself?

[red flower]

yes

[wind steppe]

which file is that in

[placid silo]

yes

[snow vale]

okk

[errant karma]

please can someone help with a malverk texture pack im making im going insane
it just wont load

[red flower]

button callbacks

also you can ctrl+shift+f to search all in vscode if it helps

[placid silo]

[snow vale]

what's the color name for chances? (the green)

[daring fern]

{C:green} and G.C.GREEN?

[spice wadi]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#named-colours-dictionary-gargsloc_colours

[wind steppe]

believe it or not a decent amount of the balatro colors are just called colors

[wind steppe]

why doesn't this hook work?

local para_buyspace_check_old = G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space
G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space = function(card)
    return card.ability.para_negativesticker or para_buyspace_check_old(card)
end

(i would assume this is also called for booster packs?)

[wheat pulsar]

hi, sorry why the label of my consumible mark as error?

[wind steppe]

can we see the code?

or ig the localization file if you have one

[wheat pulsar]

yep, in my main i call the consumable

[snow vale]

how can i use different atlas for 2 different jokers?

[red flower]

i think for that it's G.FUNCS.can_select_card

[wind steppe]

another SMODS.Atlas with a new key and new file

[snow vale]

a

ok

let's commit unoptimizement

[wind steppe]

you really shouldn't be using an atlas for one joker only though

[errant karma]

please help

malverk

[spice wadi]

you should probably send your code too

[errant karma]

true hold on

[daring fern]

How does one skip the animation and sound when creating a card?

[wind steppe]

skip_materialize = true

[daring fern]

No?

[wind steppe]

for SMODS.create_card

[wind steppe]

well this crashes when i try to select a card in a booster pack

local para_cardselect_check_old = G.FUNCS.can_select_card
G.FUNCS.can_select_card = function(e)
    return card.ability.para_negativesticker or para_cardselect_check_old(card)
end

[red flower]

it doesn't return a boolean, it changes the button

[wind steppe]

hold on i just realized i only changed e in one spot

[hard mica]

im having a problem where im trying to score a card that has my modded seal on it but it crashes if the seal isnt on the gold seal effect which is weird (my modded seal is basically copies other seal effects and randomizes every round) , the gold seal itself works but if the seal effect is anything other than the gold effect and i try to score that card it crashes and shows this error message

[red flower]

What if you return 0

[thorn flame]

joker

[hard mica]

the error goes to this function that basically Gives money when a card with this seal is played and im not sure waht casues the problem

[snow vale]

how do i change a card's rarity?

[hard mica]

imagine it doesnt crash

[red flower]

in calculate?

[thorn flame]

where

yeah

[red flower]

context.poker_hands contains a list of all the poker hands contained in a hand

and every list contains all the cards that form the hands

[outer basalt]

😭 progress?

[snow vale]

how do i change a card's rarity??

[daring fern]

An already existing joker or mid-game?

[hard mica]

still crashes

idk what to do to fix it anymore

[snow vale]

a new joker i created

[daring fern]

Maybe try just returning {dollars = 3} in calculate?

[daring fern]

rarity = number or string

[snow vale]

sth like this?

[hard mica]

yeah i dont think thats a good idea

[pure salmon]

why does this fire twice when the card is bought?

[hard mica]

i just want to get the money once the card is scored

but the get_p_dollars function doesnt like the way im doing it

if i remove the if statement it worksish

[daring fern]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card == card aswell I think.

[thorn flame]

i see i see

[red flower]

add context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card == card

[wind steppe]

this also crashes

G.FUNCS.can_select_card = function(e)
    if e.ability.para_negativesticker then
        e.config.colour = G.C.GREEN
        e.config.button = 'use_card'
    else
        para_cardselect_check_old(e)
    end
end

[red flower]

local card = e.config.ref_table

[outer basalt]

FINALLY. TYSM N'

[spice wadi]

not sure if that works, but what defo works is using numbers
like
rarity = 1 would be common for example, 2 is uncommmon, etc

[snow vale]

it worked but thanks cuz numbers way is easier

[pure salmon]

tried changing c1 to self, still doesnt work

[snow vale]

how can i check my jokers? (with script obv)

[pure salmon]

is there a hidden context.buying_self and the docs are just trolling

[red flower]

c1 doesn't mean anything

[wind steppe]

local para_cardselect_check_old = G.FUNCS.can_select_card
G.FUNCS.can_select_card = function(e)
    local card = e.config.ref_table
    if e.ability.para_negativesticker then -- Crashes on this line when I try to select a card in a pack
        e.config.colour = G.C.GREEN
        e.config.button = 'use_card'
    else
        para_cardselect_check_old(e)
    end
end

[pure salmon]

?

[red flower]

that means that context.card == card

the docs are made from the vanilla code point of view which is somewhat confusing

[pure salmon]

oh. oops

[red flower]

well i told you that so that then you use card instead of e lol

[spice wadi]

wdym check?

[wind steppe]

that makes sense in hindsight

[red flower]

you still want e.config

because that's the button

[snow vale]

look for negative jokers

[hard mica]

doesnt work at all lol

[red flower]

hmm not sure then

never worked with seals

[spice wadi]

could you explain a bit more
like do you want to check the jokers the player currently has?

[snow vale]

ill show you the card

(the card is joker btw)

[rain atlas]

got a crash and trying to just chatGPT a fix lmao, and it seems to deduce that the issue is a bug in "card.lua" which if i'm looking at right is vannila code?

[wind steppe]

chatgpt is unreliable

show us the crash

[rain atlas]

it's not my mod but i don't think it's (being handpreview) updated anymore

[wind steppe]

handpreview is probably causing the crash

line 331?

[wheat pulsar]

im looking in the localization of the vanilla remade, where is the "tarot_cards" called in the code?

[snow vale]

joker not card

[wind steppe]

not about the code but you would almost never buy this

negatives arent common enough

[snow vale]

ill buff it then!

x4

[wind steppe]

(unless ur playing cryptid)

[wind steppe]

the issue is that a lot of runs you get 0 negatives

[snow vale]

:((

but if u have

[wind steppe]

maybe give something like "negatives are x3 more likely to spawn" as well

[snow vale]

not bad idea

[wind steppe]

yeah this is beyond me

does handpreview add anything or is it qol?

if its the latter just remove it

[rain atlas]

it's just QOL

and it's littearlly the only mod i want atm lmao

i'm trying to play vannila basically atm

[wind steppe]

boring

at least get a vanilla+ mod

[spice wadi]

you can get all jokers with G.jokers.cards i believe
and you can check the edition of each joker in that list

[rain atlas]

well i tried modded but i've only been able to get a single run where i won, i've faced game ending crashes where i can't progress otherwise

[wind steppe]

are steamodded and lovely fully updated?

[rain atlas]

yep

and i sue BMM

use*

[wind steppe]

what mods were you using? cryptid has a habit of doing that

[rain atlas]

cryptid, kino, HP, etropy, cardsauce, card sleeve

[wind steppe]

install talisman

cryptid needs it

[rain atlas]

i mean yea i had that

[hard mica]

GOT IT TO WORK LIKE THIS

[sweet onyx]

When I use if context.after then ... end my Joker just doesn't ever trigger, does anyone know why

[spice wadi]

not sure

[wind steppe]

try adding and context.cardarea == G.play

[spice wadi]

misclick?

[rain atlas]

i guess i'm just gonna play full vannila if even a gods damn QOL mod is gonna crash me

[daring fern]

Code?

[rain atlas]

man i'm used to playing minecraft mod packs with hundreds of mods that don't crash this easy

[spice wadi]

also how can i add smth to check if my card gets triggered as a blueprint effect? do i have to hook SMODS.blueprint_effect or is there an easier way

[sweet onyx]

        if context.after and context.cardarea == G.play then
            print("\n Joker was triggered \n")

            if #G.jokers.cards == 1 and G.jokers.cards[1].config.center.key == card.config.center.key then
                return {}
            end

            -- if SMODS.seeing_double_check(context.scoring_hand, 'Hearts') and SMODS.seeing_double_check(context.scoring_hand, 'Diamonds') and SMODS.seeing_double_check(context.scoring_hand, 'Clubs') then                
                local jokers = {}
                for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do
                    if G.jokers.cards[i] ~= card then
                        jokers[#jokers + 1] = G.jokers.cards[i]
                    end
                end
                

                if #jokers > 0 then
                    local chosen = pseudorandom_element(jokers, pseudoseed('seed'))
                    local copied = copy_card(chosen, nil, nil, nil, nil)

                    copied:set_edition('e_negative', true) 
                    copied:add_to_deck()
                    G.jokers:emplace(copied)

                    return { message = localize('k_duplicated_ex') }
                end
            --- end
        end

(I added the print for debugging, ignore it)

[daring fern]

Remove and context.cardarea == G.play

[sweet onyx]

Alright

Why?

Its what it says to do on the wiki

[daring fern]

There are no cards in G.play in context.after

So context.cardarea would never be G.play

[sweet onyx]

Oh

The effect seems to be triggering before any playing cards are scored?

context.after isnt supposed to do that, right?

[wind steppe]

how do i define a category of cards only if i don't have another mod installed?

i want to imitate the cryptid food jokers

[daring fern]

You need to put it into an event.

[sweet onyx]

Alright

[zealous glen]

All calculations are done before animation starts

[vagrant cedar]

Is someone able to help me fix my code from forever ago?

I haven't done any modding for months and I've forgotten practically everything

I have a card set up to be a "1 in 5 chance to create a negative copy of random owned joker when any joker is triggered"

I'm trying to change that to take out the 1 in 5 chance, and instead be when shop is ended

So basically just Perkeo for Jokers

[wind steppe]

send us the code

[vagrant cedar]

you want file hold on

[wind steppe]

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

itll format better like this

[vagrant cedar]

I just put it in a lua file instead

I already changed the description to say what it should do now

It's the code itself that needs changed

[wind steppe]

get rid of the pseudorandom bit

[vagrant cedar]

which one

Don't I need one of them to stay for the randomly chosen joker?

[wind steppe]

if pseudorandom("goldengod") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then```

[vagrant cedar]

do I leave the local eligible jokers part?

[wind steppe]

yeah

and then replace ```lua
if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card ~= self then

with ```lua
if context.ending_shop then

so the joker triggers at the right time

[vagrant cedar]

That's the only part I had figured out tbh lmao

[wind steppe]

also this is literally just speculo from cryptid

and thats an exotic

[vagrant cedar]

Oh I need to take the odds out of the config

[vagrant cedar]

Speculo, you say

[wind steppe]

wait actually this is more broken than speculo

it can copy itself

[vagrant cedar]

Wait it shouldn't be able to

It wasn't able to as the 1 in 5

[wind steppe]

i dont see anything stopping it from doing so?

maybe im missing something though

if you want to show us where the line that stops it is instead of just question mark reacting thatd be lovely

[daring fern]

?

[wheat pulsar]

hi, i made it, but i want to learn how the key of the consumable "connect" with this values in the localize file?

[wind steppe]

ty

[spice wadi]

c_[mod prefix]_[card key] for the entry itself

[hard mica]

i got a question , how can i make a tip next to the seal description telling the seal effect description like blue seals description showing next to Jonkle seal description

[daring fern]

info_queue?

[wheat pulsar]

ty

[thorn flame]

are there any examples of jokers that do this?

[wheat pulsar]

this

[thorn flame]

what i want to do is if the played hand is a full house, convert the rank of the pair into the rank of the 3oak

[daring fern]

Yes, I know what info_queue is, I was just telling them about it.

[thorn flame]

jokers that like separate the parts of the played hand

[wheat pulsar]

sorry i mistake the reply

[wind steppe]

how do i define a category of jokers only if another mod isn't installed?

i want to imitate cryptid's food joker category

but still work with cryptid if its there

[daring fern]

if not next(SMODS.find_mod("Cryptid"))

[hard mica]

yeah but how do i use it?

like make it show next to the my modded seal desc

[wind steppe]

okay but how do i define a category of jokers

[daring fern]

SMODS.ObjectType?

[wheat pulsar]

you put in the localvars like this

[daring fern]

Yes, but it would be G.P_SEALS instead.

[wheat pulsar]

yep

[hard mica]

gives me an error

[daring fern]

G.P_SEALS[self.config.extra.SealType]

[errant karma]

is there a malverk wiki?

[hard mica]

that works thank you

[daring fern]

https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Malverk ?

[errant karma]

i mean dev-wise coz the readme for it has this

[pure salmon]

how would i give a card back the negative shader?

[wind steppe]

question
is there a way to instantly trigger a run loss?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wind steppe]

how would i do that?

[daring fern]

Try looking at DebugPlus.

[umbral zodiac]

whats the context for when a card is being destroyed

i might be silly in the head

[daring fern]

context.remove_playing_cards?

[sleek siren]

Is there a way I can have a separate font for some text?

[daring fern]

No, but there is a pull request for it on smods I think.

Yes, but not easily.

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/684

[pure salmon]

looked at vanillaremade at editions and the shader parameter doesn't exist in SMODS.Back

[daring fern]

Yes, try looking at cryptid.

[pure salmon]

i would. rather not have to look at cryptid code

let me check how shaders apply to consumables

[daring fern]

That's different.

[daring fern]

It's the only way.

[sleek siren]

thank you! ^^

[pure salmon]

which cryptid decks use shaders on the back of cards?

[daring fern]

Edition decks.

[pure salmon]

i cannot read any of this code wtf

[prime stone]

is there a way I can refer to the joker say the message, currently because of context.indivudal it's activated playing cards that's showing the message ```lua
if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and context.other_card:get_id() == 7 then
G.hand:change_size(card.ability.extra.hand_size_mod)
card.ability.extra.hand_size_gained = card.ability.extra.hand_size_gained + card.ability.extra.hand_size_mod

        return {
            card = card,
            message = "+#1# Hand Size"
        }
    end

[red flower]

not that i can think of, but you can try printing the tables to see what they have

[hoary frost]

Maybe it's better if I ask in this channel instead. Is there a map for Trance's Color variables? I'm trying to modify the CODE palette to have dark hover tooltips, but there's a few bits that I can't find.

[wind steppe]

why does this code that i took from cardsauce crash when it's in my mod

local function inject(self)
    for k, v in pairs(G.foodjokers) do
        if G.P_CENTERS[k] or SMODS.Centers[k] then
            local center = G.P_CENTERS[k] or SMODS.Centers[k]
            if not table.contains(self, center) then -- crash on this line
                self:inject_card(center)
            end
        end
    end
end

[daring fern]

table.contains doesn't work by default.

[wind steppe]

what do i need to do to make it work?

[daring fern]

Put this somewhere: ```lua
function table.contains(table, element)
if table and type(table) == "table" then
for _, value in pairs(table) do
if value == element then
return true
end
end
return false
end
end

[copper shell]

hello I was redirected here, does anyone have a mod that increases performance?
edit: i have since been re redirected away from here

[daring fern]

‎

[hoary frost]

So like, yeah, in Trance's palette, BACKGROUND_DARK and TEXT_DARK are the main hover tooltip bg/text. But an't find the card header or the sidebar stuff for edition/eternal/perishable status.

[wind steppe]

does anybody know how debugplus makes you lose? im trying to make a joker that does the same thing

[daring fern]

Try looking in core.lua

[hard mica]

any way of getting a spectral pack faster or easier cause im trying to test my spectral card

[wintry solar]

message_card = card

[wind steppe]

install debugplus

[errant karma]

what does it want from me

[prime stone]

thank you, I forgot about message_card

[errant karma]

there is no [

[hard mica]

i got it

[wintry solar]

card = doesn't do anything in almost every situation

[sweet onyx]

How do I change the color of the text under a Joker's rarity that says like the mod name

[pure salmon]

this, again, because i can't read cryptid's code at ALL

[sweet onyx]

?

[pure salmon]

badge_colour and badge_text_colour

[sweet onyx]

What file is this

[pure salmon]

your mod .json

[sweet onyx]

Oh

[errant karma]

i require assistance
this game confuses me

[sweet onyx]

I didnt realize that was a thing

[wind steppe]

why are you coding in notepad

[errant karma]

because i hate myself

[wind steppe]

also indent text to the same level as name

[sweet onyx]

You don't need an IDE, code with a pen and paper

[wind steppe]

real programmers scratch their code into the side of a mountain

[modern kindle]

i draw my code in the ocean

[errant karma]

"i draw with white pencil"

[hard mica]

im a bit confused on why this error appears

[sweet onyx]

You have an entire mountain? Wow, modern programmers and their tools, I have to etch my into my own arm

[modern kindle]

damn, you have an arm?

[wind steppe]

i had to build that mountain from scratch with nothing but my teeth

[merry grove]

hi

[sweet onyx]

Where did you get teeth?

[daring fern]

Is card.ability.extra the seal key?

[wind steppe]

sold my soul to the devil

[sweet onyx]

Fair enough

[hard mica]

yeah

[pure salmon]

does anyone know how to give a deck a shader

i beg

[daring fern]

It's modprefix_key

@pure salmon

[errant karma]

ok but seriously is this correct
because THE GAME WANTS ME TO CLOSE A SQUARE BRACKET THAT WAS STARTED HERE

[merry grove]

im a bit confused, if anyone could help

[pure salmon]

so i have to add galdur as a dependency for this to work?

[unborn bay]

no

galdur is just there to specifically apply the shader to the galdur preview

and it only applies if galdur is present

[pure salmon]

oh okay

[outer basalt]

what does this even mean

[sweet onyx]

How do I add an icon to my mod in the mods tab, because right now its the default icon (the uncommon tag)

[snow vale]

how do i check if it's negative joker?

[hard mica]

i got a semi problem with my seal , if i got 2 cards with the jonkle seal , they both reroll to the same seal effect but i want each have a different effect n stuff, this is how im doing the randomizing rn

[daring fern]

if card.edition and card.edition.negative

[snow vale]

ty

[daring fern]

Replace self.config with card.ability.seal

[errant karma]

tryna make a malverk thing but the game keeps crashing whenever i hover over it

[snow vale]

how do i do so the xmult works?

[slow brook]

make an atlas called modicon

[daring fern]

Use context.other_joker

[sweet onyx]

Thanks

[hard mica]

i did and now it doesnt even reroll anymore

[snow vale]

oh so the other things were ok...

[daring fern]

No.

[snow vale]

.

:(

then?

[daring fern]

if context.other_joker and context.other_joker.edition and context.other_joker.edition.negative then
    return {x_mult = 4}
end

[hard mica]

anyone know how to fix this?

[snow vale]

k ty now it works

[wind steppe]

does anyone know how debugplus makes you lose a run? can't seem to find it in the files

[north stone]

how would i go about making a joker that has xmult that increases depending on how many of that same joker you have?

[errant karma]

please tell me its possible to change the order of things in the collection

[old bane]

i think it just depends on the order you load the cards in, though those are vanilla cards so idk if you can change the order of those

[errant karma]

:(

why are they not just in the order of what scores the most..

[old bane]

cause order of the planets irl

[wind steppe]

balatro fans dont know irl

[snow vale]

how can i make a joker that doubles negative cards chances to spawn?

[errant karma]

oh yeah im an idiot

[wind steppe]

how would i make a joker that makes you lose at the end of a round?

[snow vale]

who would buy him 😭

[wind steppe]

nobody

[snow vale]

then

[wind steppe]

its for comedy

also im not going to SAY that it kills you

[old bane]

i would direct you to this wiki post, so that you can understand the weight system. I know that it's possible, i just don't know how to feasibly do it right now

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

[wind steppe]

just imply it

[zealous glen]

this is the part where he kills you

[snow vale]

bait people saying x100 mult

[wind steppe]

(he being a piece of pineapple btw)

[snow vale]

ok

[wind steppe]

nah its x3 mult (but it does actually give it)

maybe someone can use that well

[old bane]

one way is to make it so that before the end of the round it just makes the score requirement ludicrously high

[snow vale]

simple, use it and sell

[wind steppe]

i want you to be able to sell it before you beat the blind and still beat the blind

[snow vale]

ok i think im simply gonna change its effect

[slow brook]

can regular cards juice_up?

[old bane]

yes

[slow brook]

can multiple cards juice up at once?

[old bane]

yes

[wind steppe]

bump

[snow vale]

how to check if a playing card is flipped?

[red flower]

card.facing == "back"

[snow vale]

a

simplier than what i thought

[red flower]

sorry lowercase

[slow brook]

is there something stronger than juice up? like it bounces cards or something

[maiden phoenix]

Have you tried setting juice_up to high values?

[snow vale]

also how can i check my non-played cards, the ones that are on my hand?

[slow brook]

is there a way to make it slower? at high values it's really fast

[red flower]

G.hand.cards

[maiden phoenix]

Set the second parameter to a low value

I think only the first one needs to be big

[slow brook]

isn't the second one for how much it turns

[wind steppe]

bump

[snow vale]

didnt work?

[red flower]

G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER
G.STATE_COMPLETE = false

[maiden phoenix]

if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER; G.STATE_COMPLETE = false end

Damnit N

[red flower]

:p

[maiden phoenix]

lmao

[red flower]

you need to use c

[snow vale]

instead of G?

oh

i understood

[slow brook]

what's the difference between scoring_hand and joker_main

[red flower]

joker_main is the context where main joker scoring happens

scoring_hand is a property of many contexts that holds the scoring_hand

[hard mica]

Does no one know how to fix this?

[snow vale]

they should pin those important things tbh

[red flower]

this is all in the docs

[snow vale]

i still suck at this it would be helpful

well yeah

[slow brook]

still don't understand but thanks ig

i can't really do context.full_hand:juice_up() right, i have to juice up one card at a time

I want to do a joker that does a juice_up for every card on screen basically

[red flower]

yes

[slow brook]

I just got an idea but don't think it's possible at all, can I make a joker that detects any cards/jokers that juice up, and gets a buff because of that?

[red flower]

you can hook juice_up

[wind steppe]

how would i make an achievement that triggers when a specific joker does a specific effect? its my joker if that helps

[north stone]

why is the i not showing up in game

[wind steppe]

when is check_for_unlock called?

[wind steppe]

is it saved

[red flower]

in a bunch of places

[north stone]

yes

[wind steppe]

on run loss?

[north stone]

the single letter i is not showing up

[red flower]

idk look it up

[north stone]

looks like this in game

wait i figured it out

dw

how do i set the odds for my card?

[wind steppe]

i have a joker that triggers a run loss if you beat a blind with it. how would i create an achievement that you get when this joker makes you lose the run? (shouldn't trigger if you have the joker but lost due to lack of score)

[spice wadi]

i mean most people set it as a variable in the config like this (ignore the xmult part)

then youd do smth like this for a luck based calculation

time for my problem now

[maiden phoenix]

Create a SMODS.Achievement object (read the doc) and then in your code, add a check_for_unlock({type = "achievementkey"})

[spice wadi]

actually nvm i think ik a solution to my problem

[north stone]

why am i getting this error message

[daring fern]

Line?

[north stone]

vars = {G.GAME.probabilities.normal, 5},

[maiden phoenix]

G.GAME.probabilities doesn't exist in loc_vars if you check for your joker in your collection while not in a run

[north stone]

im copying off the docs

oh so how do i fix that

[maiden phoenix]

Do G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal...

[north stone]

so like this? vars = {G.GAME, G.GAME.probabilities.normal, 5},

[slow brook]

i feel like my brain overclocks when i try to understand hooking, it seems so easy but my brain just doesn't want to get it

[maiden phoenix]

No, G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities...

[north stone]

ohh thanks

[maiden phoenix]

if it doesn't work, try adding .. "" after "normal" and before the ","
