[snow vale]

can someone please fix this 😔

[wind steppe]

TLDR:
functions are variables and editable
oldfunctionthing = functionthing
functionthing = function(args)
do your hook thing
return oldfunctionthing(args)

[wind steppe]

believe its xmult and not Xmult

[snow vale]

that wasnt the error

[slow brook]

it's Xmult

[daring fern]

Did you define is_Ace?

[daring fern]

It's both.

[snow vale]

the is_Ace was pure guessing tbh

[maiden phoenix]

Maybe a mockup can help?

local cf = Card.func -- Save the existing function in a variable
function Card:func(x, y, z) -- Override the existing function
    --do stuff before the function
    cf(self, x, y, z) -- Call the original function from the save you made
    --do stuff after the function
end

[snow vale]

i dont even know that exists

[daring fern]

There is only is_face, nothing else.

[snow vale]

o

then

how do i check if it's ace

[maiden phoenix]

card:get_id() == 14

[snow vale]

a

ok

ty

still unexpected symbol near for

is it the _

[maiden phoenix]

Can you show your full code?

[slow brook]

why are you using . first but : the second time between card and func

[maiden phoenix]

: is for referencing self, but when copying a function you don't need it so you use .

[snow vale]

so then what's my error

[maiden phoenix]

Remove the ,

[snow vale]

e

[slow brook]

ok and if i want to check for both jokers and playing cards do i need to do 2 different hooks?

[snow vale]

vruu

[lament sparrow]

Does anyone know why this doesn't show the flavour text?

    id = "c_gaff_tapered",
    key = "tapered",
    set = "Tarot",
    pos = { 
        x = 0, y = 0 
    },
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Tapered",
        text = {
            "Enhances {C:attention}#1#{} selected",
            "card into a",
            "{C:attention}#2#",
        }
    },```

[maiden phoenix]

For jokers there's a function called SMODS.find_card

I'm not sure if it works on playing cards

[snow vale]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#named-colours-dictionary-gargsloc_colours i can just tell you this

[maiden phoenix]

Remove the break and move the end after the returned table

When you return something it stops the function entierly so break is useless

[snow vale]

oh

kk ty

[spice wadi]

im using the vanilla remade implementation for blueprint-style jokers and this crashes my game in the collection, which checks specifically should i use to prevent this

[maiden phoenix]

Check if G.jokers and G.jokers.cards exists

They don't if outside a run

[snow vale]

another thing, how do i do so it checks the entire played hand, not only the scored hand

[maiden phoenix]

Check for context.full_hand

[snow vale]

ok

[maiden phoenix]

Careful tho it counts debuffed cards too

[snow vale]

nah i just want it to check if there's any ace

[maiden phoenix]

Oh ok

[slow brook]

really no idea if I understood it, i want a joker to gain more chips whenever anything does juice_up

[maiden phoenix]

Oh If I were you I'd avoid doing hooks inside a SMODS object

Do it outside the joker object

[lament sparrow]

How do I add the explainer box on the left?

[maiden phoenix]

In your loc_vars function you can add into info_queue

For example

(don't add the "elseif if _c.name == blabla, just the info_queue part)

[slow brook]

but then card isn't defined

or i dont need card

[maiden phoenix]

It's on any juice_up tho no?

[slow brook]

yeah

[maiden phoenix]

Hold on I'm gonna type my idea out

[maiden phoenix]

You put this outside your joker object

local cju = Card.juice_up
function Card:juice_up(scale, rot_amount)
    SMODS.calculate_context({modprefix_juice_up = true})
    return cju(self, scale, rot_amount)
end

Then in your joker's calculate function you add

if context.modprefix_juice_up then...

Not sure if it's better to put the calculate_context before of after the original function call, it's up to you to experiment

[lament sparrow]

        name = "Tapered",
        text = {
            "Enhances {C:attention}#1#{} selected",
            "card into a",
            "{C:attention}#1#{} tapered card"
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS[card.ability.mod_conv]
        }```
So, where do I add in info_queue? I want to explain what the tapered does to a card.

[maiden phoenix]

Not in your loc_txt, in your loc_vars function (if you got one, other make one)

[maiden phoenix]

Try adding return nil, true at the end of your new context?

[lament sparrow]

What does key and set do within info_queue?

[hard mica]

if anyone can find the solution to this problem then i would appreciate it alot

[maiden phoenix]

What do you want to reference, it might be different depending of what tooltip you wanna add

[wind steppe]

why doesn't my achievement text show up? (its just ERROR)
part of the localization file:

    misc = {
        achievement_descriptions = {para_deathbypineapple = 'Snack on some pineapple slices.'},
        achievement_names = {para_deathbypineapple = 'Best idea you\'ve ever had!'},

[maiden phoenix]

Try replacing self.config.extra by card.ability.extra?

[maiden phoenix]

it's ach_modprefix_achievementkey

[lament sparrow]

I want to reference what the enhancement does

[hard mica]

I already tried that unfortunately

[maiden phoenix]

Is it a modded one or not? Which one if it's vanilla?

[lament sparrow]

It's a modded one

I'm planning to make another card modifier at some point. But, for now, I just want to add it into the enhancement section

[maiden phoenix]

Try info_queue[#1116390750314307698_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_modprefix_enhancementkey

[wintry swallow]

trying to make a new consumable type for my mod. how do i change the name of the set

[slow brook]

same error

[maiden phoenix]

Does your mod have a localization file?

[wintry swallow]

no

[maiden phoenix]

Send your thing's full code and the override

[slow brook]

local cju = Card.juice_up
function Card:juice_up(scale, rot_amount)
    SMODS.calculate_context({pvz_juice_up = true})
    return cju(self, scale, rot_amount)
end 

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'spring_bean',
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 5,
    atlas = "Jokers",
    pos = {x=3,y=1},
    config = { extra = {  chips = 0, chips_gain = 10 } },
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,

    calculate = function (self, card, context)
            local bean = card.ability.extra.chips
            local gain = card.ability.extra.chips_gain
            if context.pvz_juice_up then
                bean = bean + gain
                return nil, true
            end
    end,

    on_plant_food_use = function(self,card)
    end,

    can_use_plantfood = function (self, card, context)
        return false
    end,
}

ignore the on_plant_food_use and can_use_plantfood

[maiden phoenix]

In your SMODS.ConsumableType thing add

loc_txt = {
        name = 'Thing',
         collection = 'Thing Cards',
        undiscovered = {
            name = 'Not Discovered',
            text = {
                "Purchase or use",
                "this card in an",
                "unseeded run to",
                "learn what it does"
            },
        },
    },

[maiden phoenix]

Put your local bean and gain uder context.pvz_juice_up?

[wintry swallow]

that worked ty

[slow brook]

still same error

[lament sparrow]

This is fine, but I want a box on the left explaining what tapered does as an enhancement.

[maiden phoenix]

Oh if it still doesn't work try if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.pvz_juice_up then

[maiden phoenix]

Does it not show up? Can you show Tapered's code and your enhancement code?

[keen totem]

is there a list of all the "card.ability.extra" vars you can have?

[slow brook]

still the same...

[wind steppe]

why isn't my achievement granting?
where it should be granting:

check_for_unlock({type = 'ach_para_deathbypineapple'})

[lament sparrow]

I'm assuming I need to create an enhancement code?

[maiden phoenix]

Show your calculate code again?

[lament sparrow]

Cause I haven't done that yet

[maiden phoenix]

Does your enhancement not exist?

Oh

Then yea ig

[wind steppe]

achievement code:

SMODS.Achievement{
    key = 'deathbypineapple',
    hidden_name = false,
    hidden_text = false,
    unlock_condition = function(self, args)
        return true
    end
}

[maiden phoenix]

The check_for_unlock doesn't need the "ach-modprefix-" (- are _)

Godamnit discord

[maiden phoenix]

Try disabling your mod optional features just to test this out?

[elfin stratus]

i tried

i suck at drawing

and balancing

[slow brook]

wdym by optional features?

[maiden phoenix]

Does your mod have optional features for retriggers or allowing new card area?

[slow brook]

pretty sure it doesn't

[wind steppe]

does this mean that if the 1 in 2 chance hits its 50/50 between 2.75 and 0.75 or 1 in 2 chance to hit 2.75 otherwise 0.75

if its the latter reword it

[elfin stratus]

okay

[maiden phoenix]

I'm gonna experiment with your joker on my own

[snow vale]

how can i make so cards are considered wild cards (they dont transform into wild cards)

[wind steppe]

how do i relock an achievement

for testing purposes

[snow vale]

sell your pc

[wind steppe]

too slow

[snow vale]

wdym

[daring fern]

Hook SMODS.has_enhancement

[spice wadi]

if you mean a steam achievement its not possible without breaking TOS iirc

[snow vale]

yeah, but i want every card to be considered a wild card, even though they arent

[wind steppe]

no in balatro itself

its a modded achievement

[slow brook]

make a new profile and do it there lol

[snow vale]

this is the desc

[daring fern]

Yes, I'm aware if you want things to think that a card is wild you need to hook SMODS.has_enhancement

[snow vale]

oh

so then how do i hook?

waikt

imma search docs

[slow brook]

gl

[wind steppe]

that doesn't work

[maiden phoenix]

@slow brook Try replacing the juice_up hook by this

local cju = Card.juice_up
function Card:juice_up(scale, rot_amount)
    if G.jokers and G.jokers.cards then
        SMODS.calculate_context({pvz_juice_up = true})
    end
    cju(self, scale, rot_amount)
end

[snow vale]

ok no idea 😭 how do i do it?

[elfin stratus]

is this better?

[snow vale]

lol i love the image

[maiden phoenix]

Try adding unlocked = false to it?

[wind steppe]

yeah thats better

[elfin stratus]

now

how do i balance this

[wind steppe]

you don't

this is the new baron mime

[snow vale]

1 in 3 (as they're 3 slots)

[slow brook]

do a coinflip, heads = you buff it even more, tails = you nerf it

[tall jewel]

Made something that may be helpful to some people

these are like minecraft's extended tooltips

if anyone has anything theyd like for it, lemme know

(please im terrible with ideas)

[elfin stratus]

that doesnt sound as fun

im gonna try the joker with blueprint + mime

[maiden phoenix]

You could hook is_suit and then do next(SMODS.find_card('j_yourjoker`) and return true or something

Tho some jokers do trigger on wild card enhancement..

[snow vale]

how do i hook 😭

i think

im gonna

just give it a diff use

[elfin stratus]

can i give myself vouchers with debug+?

[snow vale]

what use do i give to a crayon card

[maiden phoenix]

This is how you hook

[snow vale]

(this card)

[slow brook]

I mean it doesn't crash, but also doesn't add anything in calculate

[tall jewel]

yes but you need to buy them in a shop

[maiden phoenix]

remove the context.cardarea check

[snow vale]

i love this idea tbh

[elfin stratus]

how

[snow vale]

how do i do so when i select a blind the joker deletes the leftmost consumable?

[tall jewel]

3

while in the collections menu

[hybrid shadow]

do /eval dp.hovered:redeem()

[keen totem]

do Xchips exist in the base game or do i have to custom code that

[maiden phoenix]

SMODS adds it

[keen totem]

nice

[slow brook]

still doesn't, at end of scoring it gives +0

[hybrid shadow]

@daring fern use your words

[daring fern]

No?

[maiden phoenix]

Ooh I get it

[hybrid shadow]

worked for me

[maiden phoenix]

You're modifying the local value, not the card value

[modern kindle]

thats extra, just be in the shop and spawn the voucher the same way you do a joker

[maiden phoenix]

Try card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_gain

[slow brook]

there's no way i forgor that

[snow vale]

how do i do so when i select a blind the joker deletes the leftmost consumable?

[hybrid shadow]

the / is to open the menu

[modern kindle]

if you are in shop and spawn a voucher the same way you do a joker it puts it in the shop for you

then just give yourself the 10 bucks to buy it

[keen totem]

how do i use that exactly

its not the same as just typing chips instead of mult like i thought itd be

[maiden phoenix]

return {
  Xchips = value
}

Same as the vanilla stuff

[maiden phoenix]

if context.setting_blind then
  if G.consumeables.cards and G.consumeables.cards[1] then
    local first_cons = G.consumeables.cards[1]
  end
end

[hybrid shadow]

xchips, not Xchips

[elfin stratus]

holy shit, i found the best joker naturally

[red flower]

x_chips and xchips work but Xchips doesn't

[maiden phoenix]

Actually all of those work

[red flower]

read it again

[maiden phoenix]

This is so stupid Xmult works fine why didn't they add this case 😭

[keen totem]

pretty sure anything with _mod doesnt throw up the vanilla message right?

[red flower]

dunno lol

[maiden phoenix]

You don't need the _mod with SMODS

[snow vale]

k ty

[keen totem]

cause it wasnt before i removed _mod

[maiden phoenix]

Yea avoid using _mod values

[keen totem]

i mean

its useful if its actually meant to remove vanilla messages

[slow brook]

as it turns out, juice up is everywhere...

[elfin stratus]

now that i realize, wouldnt this be too broken?

it would always return x2.75 mult

[maiden phoenix]

Eyup

[hard mica]

how can I add a for loop for each seal or card with seal randomize the seal value?

[snow vale]

wont work :(

[keen totem]

xchips aint working

[slow brook]

can i somehow only count juice ups with e.g 0.4 or higher scale?

[keen totem]

    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.Xchips, card.ability.extra.chips}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                    card = card,
                    chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                    Xchips = card.ability.extra.Xchips,
                }
        end
    end
}

why aint the xchip

did i forget to change it

im going insane

i changed it in the wrong place

[slow brook]

shouldn't it be Xchips_mod = card.ability.extra.Xchips

[keen totem]

multiple things work

[maiden phoenix]

You could add params in your SMODS.calc_context to get those and do if context.rot_amount then

[red flower]

: )

i will pr this to smods if no one has and i didnt break anything

[maiden phoenix]

Isn't enhancement in preview hand already possible?

[red flower]

yeah i pr'd that

[maiden phoenix]

o

[red flower]

i mean the styling

[maiden phoenix]

What's the diff?

Oh ok

[red flower]

so it doesnt say {C:attention}text

[maiden phoenix]

That's cool

[slow brook]

don't think I understood a single word here

[snow vale]

how can i make a scaling card?

[red flower]

what is the hard part

you dont know what a moon is

[maiden phoenix]

Example with Spare Trousers https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/301c21c024837870f603852538edceecbffd189d/src/jokers.lua#L2879

[maiden phoenix]

Moons aren't real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slow brook]

more like zebra grass with moon and hanafuda and chrysanthemum and that touhou girl on the card

[red flower]

zebra grass with moon

[maiden phoenix]

Can't believe you had to actually do that

[snow vale]

btw your code didn't eat the consumable, can you please fix it? 🥺

[maiden phoenix]

That was just to give you the first consumable

[slow brook]

the hell is a zebra grass

[maiden phoenix]

Grass with zebra colors

[snow vale]

oh

ok

[red flower]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscanthus_sinensis

[snow vale]

does :destroy() exist?

[red flower]

no

[slow brook]

dunno if i misunderstood it but it crashes now

[maiden phoenix]

Check how ceremonial dagger does it https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/301c21c024837870f603852538edceecbffd189d/src/jokers.lua#L459

[maiden phoenix]

What's the crash

[snow vale]

um didnt understand much

[maiden phoenix]

Check if context.scale exists before comparing it

Not every juice_up has set param iirc

[maiden phoenix]

Just do first_consus:start_dissolve({ HEX("57ecab") }, nil, 1.6)

[snow vale]

ok

[frigid blaze]

Does anyone have a font for the legendary jokers?

[slow brook]

how do i make it give the chips it got right now? cuz now it gets it's chips increased but adds +0 and only after the hand it has e.g. +100

[maiden phoenix]

Show your calculate code again

[slow brook]

tried to change it from joker_main to final_scoring_step but it didn't change anything

[maiden phoenix]

Maybe remove the return nil, true

[analog spoke]

funny u'd ask, I just asked myself a little while ago in fan-art, hehehe
#🎨・fan-art message

[slow brook]

still not

[maiden phoenix]

I think the chips of your joker is fetched before the juice_ups

So yea not much you can do

[slow brook]

yeah probably (whatever fetched means)

[maiden phoenix]

The addition of chips*

[slow brook]

how do i make a consumable have a message where it is and not on the corner of the screen

[pure salmon]

the shader applies, but the "shine" present on edition cards (and the cryptid edition decks) doesn't

is cryptid using a different rendering on the edition decks? they sway and tilt when you hover over them, which isn't something that backs normally do

[daring fern]

You need to apply that aswell.

[keen totem]

whats the G.GAME for mult?

cant you get mult through G.GAME?

[pure salmon]

how would i go about that?

[daring fern]

There is no G.GAME for mult

It's just mult

[keen totem]

ah

but theres a G.GAME for chips?

[slow brook]

where can i find a documentation about attention_text for consumables

[daring fern]

That's the current scored chips of the blind.

[keen totem]

is the chips just chips

[wild escarp]

What am I doing wrong here that it doesn't destroy cards?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.before then
        for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
            if v.seal or v.edition or next(SMODS.get_enhancements(v)) 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
                }))
                if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play then 
                    return {
                        message = localize('k_copied_ex'),
                        colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                        func = function()
                            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                                func = function()
                                    SMODS.calculate_context({ playing_card_added = true, cards = { copy_card } })
                                    return true
                                end
                            }))
                        end,
                        remove = true
                    }
                end 
            end
        end
    end
end

[keen totem]

whats the var for the chips i need then

[daring fern]

hand_chips?

[keen totem]

what in the non conforming variable naming in this

[daring fern]

Do the same thing but apply negative_shine

[keen totem]

so we have G.GAME.chips, hand_chips, mult

two of which are the same thing

and are differently named

[slow brook]

how do i put an attention_text in the middle of the card that's generating it

[keen totem]

and two of which are also the same thing

and are differently named

[daring fern]

No?

[keen totem]

i get the differentiation

[daring fern]

You didn't have to say that twice.

[keen totem]

but making the thing for hand chips and mult the same wouldve made way more sense

[slow brook]

I copied what wheel of fortune does but ive got idea what to change so it works

[red flower]

change used_tarot for card probably

[slow brook]

it now displays it on the consumable slots

[red flower]

why is your third argument card

it's an area

[slow brook]

no idea tbh

[red flower]

consumeable makes sense if you get confused, but card should be area there

but yeah put consumeable or whatever you have in the second argument in the place of used_tarot

[slow brook]

works now :D

[keen totem]

what does this mean

[red flower]

uninstall talisman

[keen totem]

i keep getting this after i changed a - to a +

[red flower]

whats the code

[keen totem]

is it bugged or what

[red flower]

no that's what talisman does

you need to handle comparisons and stuff properly

[keen totem]

i do not have an 1837th line

none of my mods do

nor does the base game

[red flower]

no thats in the game's code

common_events line 1094

in your lovely/dump

but im not asking for that anyway, i want to see your code

[keen totem]

    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.Xmult, card.ability.extra.mult}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_main then
            local change = card.ability.extra.mult

                change = 1-mult

            }
        end
    end
}

to_big(mult+change)

[keen totem]

thought it was on about a main.lua

[wind steppe]

what condition would i use for my achievement such that it only triggers when you lose due to a specific joker? unlock_condition always being true grants it on startup

[red flower]

did that crash without the to_big?

i dont think its necessary

[keen totem]

it didnt crash without the plus sign

[red flower]

thats not what i asked

[keen totem]

also the mult can be a talisman number too

so it kinda has to be a to_big

[red flower]

oh its global mult

what's the effect?

[keen totem]

negative + mult

-5 mult to be specific

and i dont want the total score going negative

so i make it go to 1 if its anywhere from 0 to 5

[wind steppe]

how would i get this achievement to trigger only when losing to the pineapple joker?

[keen totem]

didnt think id see "death by pineapple" today

or ever

[wind steppe]

pineapple allergies

siffrin found dead on ante 6

[keen totem]

fair enough

make death by banana

when you die while using a banana joker

[wind steppe]

banana peel joker

slippery

[red flower]

talisman probably doesnt like negative big mult

[keen totem]

its not big

its -5

[red flower]

1 - mult is a bignum

unless im reading it wrong

[keen totem]

any - mult is bignum?

really?

[red flower]

mult is a bignum with talisman

so, a table

[keen totem]

talisman handles all the compatibility minus comparisons tho right?

so mult+change would be fine

[red flower]

idk

ive seen it have problems with returns

because those do comparisons

[wintry solar]

I don't think talisman ever patched the code that handles the calculation so returning a bignum will crash

[lapis night]

anyone know the best way to change tarot values during runtime? Aka something like a joker that increases Hermit's max money

[wind steppe]

take ownership of hermit and check for the joker on creation

on creation of the joker loop through all consumables and modify the values of any hermits

[limber blaze]

negative big mult is weird i can confirm

values below -e308 just becomes -naneinf

but theres other strange things that happen

[wind steppe]

does anybody know how to trigger my achievement only at one specific time?

[limber blaze]

alsoo im pretty sure you can return big stuff

depends what specifically youre providing a bignum too but for things like Xmult im pretty sure it works

i dont have anything that should natively return a bignum without modifications so idk how true this actually is but ive done a lot of stuff with value manipulation for things that definitely return mult and it worked fine

check_for_unlock should work here you need to test for the type in unlock_condition though

[tall jewel]

would it be possible to create a button (like the buy/use button) using a DrawStep?

[limber blaze]

args.type specifically

[keen totem]

whats the reference to the table of jokers you have?

im gonna hope that its a G. something

[daring fern]

G.jokers.cards?

[keen totem]

but i havent found the docs for G. yet

[keen totem]

ty

[red flower]

its being worked on https://github.com/Steamodded/Wiki/pull/30

[wintry solar]

I was thinking lines like this, but I'm not sure if ~= is handled with metatable stuff or not

[keen totem]

ok

how do i get the name of a card

[red flower]

card.config.center.key gives you the key

unless you need the localized name

[keen totem]

no

this is code stuff, not player UI stuff

[wind steppe]

for some reason it doesn't display the achievement popup (but does give the sound)

[keen totem]

im making a Yin Yang card, and it can only spawn if you have both

[limber blaze]

i dont remember off the top of my head but im like fairly certain you can just do this comparison normally?? (metatable stuff wont kick in without luajit2 installed though) idk im bad at lua

[keen totem]

should i make the Yin & Yang card destroy the actual cards of Yin and Yang when bought

[limber blaze]

you can atleast in lua 5.4 since i tried it just now

but idk how well that holds up

in 5.1

it will probably be janky if the big value is to_big(1) but like idk if it will crash

[keen totem]

when do i do stuff on a joker being bought?

is it just done or is it a calculate and a context?

[daring fern]

if context.buying_card and context.card.ability.set == "Joker"?

[keen totem]

like the joker itself, not just any joker

[red flower]

add_to_deck

[red flower]

we are deving

[keen totem]

is context.destroy_card for doing stuff when a card is destroyed or to destroy a card?

[wintry solar]

to destroy a card

context.remove_playing_cards is for when a card is destroyed

[wild escarp]

                end
            end

i got no clue here on what the syntax for destroying a card is

[floral spindle]

does anyone know where I could get all the letters/font for the legendary jokers?

[wild escarp]

They aren't all the same.

[red flower]

that's not it, but also you don't destroy jokers with context.destroy_card, that's for playing cards

just do v:start_dissolve()

and loops need to be written like this for i,v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do

[keen totem]

...hence why they said "all the" instead of "the"

[floral spindle]

it's just uppercase/lowercase

[keen totem]

just ignoring the R there?

[wind steppe]

you could copy it pixel by pixel ig

probably not the fastest way but i dunno if theres another

[floral spindle]

it's one pixel

[keen totem]

and its different aint it

[wild escarp]

Look at the Es in perkeo

    end,

is this right for destroying Yin and Yang jokers when I get a joker?

[red flower]

yeah

i dont know if from_debuff is strictly false tho

[keen totem]

does spawning it with DebugPlus not activate add_to_deck or what?

[red flower]

it should

[wind steppe]

maybe

[keen totem]

from_debuff is true when it just got undebuffed, but i dont want it to blast Yin and Yang again

[wind steppe]

bump

[red flower]

what i mean is that i dont know if from_debuff is false when called or just nil

[keen totem]

ill print

but nil values are false

[red flower]

try if not from_debuff instead

[red flower]

no, they're falsey

not strictly false

[keen totem]

falsy

[red flower]

false-y

[keen totem]

oh

[red flower]

oh multiboxes work here????

thank you eremel

[wintry solar]

❤️

they need an empty one iirc to splits from teh chips fully

[red flower]

yeah i was about to test that

[wind steppe]

bump

[keen totem]

its nil

[keen totem]

multiboxes? i gotta use that somewhere

[red flower]

theyre cool i use them for my jokers

[wintry solar]

they have colour support too

[keen totem]

is X1.5 Chips (or Mult) for a $6 uncommon fair?

[wind steppe]

unconditionally?

[keen totem]

yea

[wind steppe]

i'd say so

[keen totem]

and then if you find Yin & Yang, you get X2 Chips & Mult

but you need to be holding Yin and Yang in your jokers

[wind steppe]

feels a little weak for needing two other jokers

[keen totem]

yea

[wind steppe]

what do yin and yang do individually?

[keen totem]

X1.5

[wind steppe]

and is the x2 on top (so x3) or replaced

[keen totem]

replaced

and its X2 Chips AND X2 Mult

so X4

unless youre using ^ jokers from other mods

[wind steppe]

x2 chips on one and x2 mult on the other or x2 chips and x2 mult on both

[keen totem]

Yin has 1.5X chips, Yang has 1.5X mult, Yin & Yang has 2X chips & 2X mult

[wind steppe]

oh yin and yang together is one joker

thats balanced

[keen totem]

yes

should i make it so you also have to find Yin&Yang

or make it so you get it if you have both

[wind steppe]

definitely the latter

[keen totem]

unconditional X4 mult becomes ass once you have to find 3 seperate jokers for it

2? its fine because thats the condition

[wind steppe]

unconditional* x3 mult is in vanilla with 2 commons anyways and a bit of probability

[keen totem]

how do i make a joker impossible to find naturally, just inpool always returning false?

[red flower]

sadly it doesn't seem to show up properly without that line break there
looks cool tho

[wind steppe]

in_pool = function(self, args)
  return false

why doesn't my achievement show up when i get it? (i still hear the sound though)

[keen totem]

i do kinda hate spamming this channel with questions

but the SMODS docs arent done and are difficult to find anything in

(if it even HAS docs)

[wind steppe]

the whole point of the channel is to ask questions anyways

[keen totem]

so ima ask how to spawn cards

even tho its prob easy

[keen totem]

jokers

[red flower]

check SMODS.add_card in the docs :3

[wind steppe]

add_card takes the same parameters as create_card btw

[keen totem]

should i make Yin&Yang have no edition or let it do that

[wind steppe]

inherit higher-ranked edition from yin/yang respectively

[keen totem]

ooh thats a good idea

[wind steppe]

idk how you check which one's higher ranked though

[keen totem]

yea

random works

[wind steppe]

bump

[keen totem]

eh ill just make it random

[odd shadow]

I FOUND OUT WHY MY MOD DIDNT WORK

I SPELT ASSETS WRONG

LMAOOOO

[unreal cosmos]

idea for card enhancement:
Waxed Lightly Weather Cut Copper Card
1 in 2 chance to add a random enhancement to an adjacent card. If not, destroy the card

[keen totem]

do you think you could give me an example here

cause idk what the t means

is that supposed to be a tuple or a table or what?

[wind steppe]

t is a table of values

example:

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

creates a random food joker with the negative sticker (note i added the negative sticker)

[red flower]

vanillaremade uses add_card if you need an example

[wind steppe]

add_card is prob better

[unreal cosmos]

is this unbalanced?

[keen totem]

what is key_append here?

[wind steppe]

it feels unfitting to be an enhancement

[wind steppe]

rng seeding

[keen totem]

but how do i do that

[wind steppe]

put in a string so it won't generate the same cards as other sources

eg. judgement does this so its not the same as the shop

[keen totem]

just use any string?

[wind steppe]

the specific string doesn't matter, i could put the bee movie script if i wanted

[red flower]

and also it allows you to check for it in in_pool

[wind steppe]

bump

[keen totem]

does your achievement have anything to do with ghosts

[wind steppe]

no

[keen totem]

your achievement is clearly a ghost

why does:start_dissolve()not destroy the joker running the code for it

and how do i make it do that

wait

its not even running it

it makes a card, then when that card gets made, it should destroy the card that made the card

[wintry solar]

use SMODS.destroy_cards(card)

[keen totem]

its a joker btw

and it worked before it was making the card

so i think it has to do with it still needing to run code

[unreal cosmos]

Galvanized Steel Card
+$20 while held in hand, BUT X0.9 chips

[keen totem]

(even tho its just a bunch of ends)

[wintry solar]

use SMODS.destroy_cards(card)

[wind steppe]

this is a fun idea
maybe nerf the money a little bit

[wild escarp]

How would I make this copy the cards twice?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.before then
        for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
            if v.seal or v.edition or next(SMODS.get_enhancements(v)) then

                copy_card:add_to_deck()
                G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
                table.insert(G.playing_cards, copy_card)

                }))
            end
        end

    if card.ability.trigger == true and context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and

        return {

latest release is like 3 weeks old

[keen totem]

and its not

[wind steppe]

documentation is... lacking

[keen totem]

it should be on a page that DOES exist

[tall jewel]

very

[faint yacht]

Latest "release" is 0509c, whilst SMODS.destroy_cards was added by 0518a.

[keen totem]

i have 0330a

why is my steamodded so old

[wind steppe]

you should update steamodded NOW

[keen totem]

nahh

[keen totem]

i fixed it without your silly new steamodded

just like windows, i will never update it

[red flower]

you dont have multiboxes in that one

[keen totem]

😦

fine

[wild escarp]

bump

[tall jewel]

just run it twice

[keen totem]

what the hell

my game just closed

didnt even crash

[wind steppe]

balatro left work

done for the day

[wild escarp]

How?

[tall jewel]

huh

just copy_card again

[wind steppe]

bump

[tall jewel]

anyways im trying to either run a calculate function on a button/ui element press OR smods.calculate_effect (either work, I just want to display a message on a specific card (not the card with the button))

how would I go about doing that?

Cache the cards that need to be calculated and run it next frame or something?

[lament sparrow]

Does anyone have mods that I can check out that have not just consumables, but their enhancements?

[tall jewel]

cause nothing happens when i run it

[wind steppe]

cryptid?

[wild escarp]

Whatever you do, don't look at cryptid for a reference.

[lament sparrow]

cryptid is confusing lol

[tall jewel]

it doesn't use smods anyways

[wind steppe]

what

[odd shadow]

im so close bro i need help

[wind steppe]

https://github.com/TheAlternateDoctor/Balatro-Hevven

[wind steppe]

put a comma on line 25 after the }

[tall jewel]

honestly id love to have an animation of the joker flying into the card used

that'd work too

(it's a harpy, and it eats playing cards for +mult)

[lament sparrow]

any that is custom? So, not based on tarots or existing stuff

[wind steppe]

you mean custom consumable type?

[lament sparrow]

yeah

I'm trying to create gaff consumables with their own card modifiers

[odd shadow]

thanks

[red flower]

vanillaremade has an example of how to apply enhancements with use

[wind steppe]

it has a custom consumable type but none of those custom consumables apply enhancements

[red flower]

this is technically a custom consumable even if it's based on the vanilla tarot
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/301c21c024837870f603852538edceecbffd189d/src/tarots.lua#L511

[tall jewel]

instead of turning them into stone cards im thinking of just debuffing them for like, 5 hands

[wind steppe]

bump

[hollow snow]

guys i came here for help, if i need to get a keypress but only once, to set a keybind, what can i use for that? i can't use keypressed because it would override the game's keypressed for escape to menu

[odd shadow]

do i add a comma at line 26 or smth

[wild escarp]

legitimately though, how do I make two copies?

[red flower]

you closed the quotes early

[hollow snow]

i think it's just that mult is outside the string and not a keyword

[odd shadow]

ok

sorry for doing this again, but i cant find whats wrong

[wild escarp]

Can we see up to line 28?

[hollow snow]

i think you should provide better images

but the message implies you maybe forgot to close the config braces

[tall jewel]

dont use +mult

just mult

[odd shadow]

ok

[wild escarp]

Comma after the position as well.

[hollow snow]

remember everything in the same level will need a comma unless it's the last element

[red flower]

also please install the lua extension

[rapid stag]

...why does self.ability not exist in this context?

[red flower]

idk but i like your screenshots they look nice

[wintry solar]

Because you’re passing the center not the card

[rapid stag]

i see so in this instance, it should be self.config?

[wintry solar]

No

You should add a card arg

[rapid stag]

and then do card.ability?

[wintry solar]

And then add self in the function call

[rapid stag]

so i pass self into the card arg and do card.ability?

[wintry solar]

Yes

[wild escarp]

bump

[wintry solar]

Just loop the code that does the copying?

[limber lagoon]

Hey, I'm trying to attempt to mod in something that plays "invisible" by Duran Duran whenever I get the invisible joker, and that it stops when it's not in my joker pile. I'm using the following code as an example:

SMODS.Sound({
vol = 0.6,
pitch = 1,
key = "music_flush_five",
path = "aoc.ogg",
select_music_track = function()
return (G.GAME and G.GAME.blind and (G.GAME.blind.config.blind.boss and G.GAME.blind.config.blind.boss.showdown)) and 2 or false
end,
})

[rapid stag]

yes, enclose your card copying code in a loop that runs twice - then to take that into account for your card added calculate call, instead make a table that populates with those card copies as you create them in the loop and pass that as your card created table

[limber lagoon]

Is there a list of values somewhere I can get from the game?

Like the Get function

[wild escarp]

Damn, all my basic coding knowledge just leaves me when I make balatro mods, thanks!

[tall jewel]

[merry grove]

can i ask a stupid question

[wild escarp]

Yep

[merry grove]

is there any way i can get a sound to stop playing after the blind is finished

[limber lagoon]

Can I ask a question about coding here?

[last sentinel]

Yes

[limber lagoon]

SMODS.Sound({
pitch = 1,
key = "music_Duran_Duran",
path = "music_Invisible.ogg",
sync = false,
select_music_track = function()
return next(find_joker("j_invisible"))
end,
})

Would j_invisible be correct for the invisible joker?

[split saddle]

does recalc_debuff() disable jokers or is there another function for it?

[red flower]

yes
but it's recommended to use next(SMODS.find_card("j_invisible")) instead

[limber lagoon]

Ah thank you!

[limber lagoon]

Does that just iteratively check that it's there constantly?

[red flower]

i think so yes

[red flower]

I'm not sure how the sound stuff works, but I think so

[limber lagoon]

Okay, thanks!

[vale glen]

You might want to return a number for music priority too, but dunno how that works exactly

[wild escarp]

Currently, if I have two of these jokers, only one applies eternal to the card on its right, how can I fix it?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if G.jokers and G.jokers.cards then
        local other_joker = nil
        local eternal_joker = nil
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then 
                eternal_joker = G.jokers.cards[i+1] 
                if eternal_joker then
                    eternal_joker:set_eternal(true)
                end
            end
            if G.jokers.cards[i] ~= eternal_joker then
                other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i]
                other_joker:set_eternal(nil)
            end
        end
    end
end

[last sentinel]

For a custom seal, what do i need to check in the calculation function to have the effect only apply once the card scores? I'm in context.main_scoring at the moment but the effect is triggering on all cards with the seal immidately upon play

[split saddle]

what do i pass onto it?

i'm guessing card, ???, false but idk

[red flower]

calculate runs all calculations before scoring, if you need it at animation timing then use an event or return want you need

[split saddle]

or self, card, false

[red flower]

what do you want to do?

[split saddle]

debuff a joker from another joker

[red flower]

oh then dont use that thats for blinds

use this

[split saddle]

where is that in the wiki?

[red flower]

utility functions

[wild escarp]

bump

[last sentinel]

perfect, that did it. last thing. what field am i missing to fill in that "ERROR" for the seal. theres name = Green Seal and label = Green Seal in the localization. And doesn't seem like it has an issue getting the text field

[split saddle]

does calculate() run every frame?

as in, putting something there will assure it gets updated

[vale glen]

Using the update function might be better for that

[split saddle]

dt i assume is frames_to_wait?

[vale glen]

Never used it before, Axy doesn't usually run things every frame

What are you trying to do, anyways?

[keen totem]

how do i get hands and discards?

[keen totem]

dt is delta time

[split saddle]

well, update a joker's effect every frame (who could've guessed)

specifically, when moving a joker from its position

[keen totem]

amount of frames passed since the function or game (cant remember which) booted up

[vale glen]

Ah, so each frame you'd check if the card's position changed, then do things

That makes sense

[keen totem]

does anyone know this

[split saddle]

something to do with G.GAME.Hands or smth

let me check

[vale glen]

Hm... Thinking about how Axy would approach it. Maybe check the card's VT or T tables, forgot which one in a Movable object gives the desired values. It's probably described somewhere in the movable Lua.

[split saddle]

didn't find anything conclusive xdd

[split saddle]

sorry but i didn't understand a thing you said 😅

[vale glen]

What do you mean? The hands left, the hands played, adding more hands, or something else?

[crisp coral]

there's a function in CardArea for moving cards between slots

but if it's moving to anywhere in the game field then good luck

[elfin stratus]

do you guys like this?

[vale glen]

Uhhh... The former table is the visual transform, the values the card takes if it's smoothly moving from one spot to another. The latter table is the actual transform, where it actually is in the code, while the visual card is smoothly moving to the desired position.

[keen totem]

hands left

[split saddle]

no, i meant as in moving between slots

[vale glen]

Ouh

[split saddle]

this is what i want to do:

the joker disables all jokers to the left of it, so i want to know where is it, when and what to disable. disabling is already kinda sorted out.

[vale glen]

Try G.GAME.current_round.hands_left, not sure if that works tho

[keen totem]

(for anyone searching this)
how do i find hands left G.GAME.current_round.hands_left
how do i find discards left G.GAME.current_round.discards_left

[vale glen]

Hrm... When in the appropriate context, you could do a for loop over G.jokers.cards, then find the index of where the card is equal to your own card. Then do another loop and everything whose index is below that index can be disabled using your method.

[vale glen]

Did it work though?

[keen totem]

yea

im making the greatest joker ever

[vale glen]

Good, now future searchers would know that too

[keen totem]

atp i should make it a rare with Xchips and mult

+2 mult is so ass

[vale glen]

Axy raises you one higher. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/bifunctors-5.1/docs/Data-Bifunctor-Joker.html

[keen totem]

what

[split saddle]

that is the idea, but like what is the context where i'll use it?!?!?!

that's why i'm thunking doing it every frame

[vale glen]

Dunno, depends on when you want the joker to do that

[split saddle]

it's supposed to be an "active" effect

as in it is always happening

[vale glen]

After main scoring so the other cards can play once before they're debuffed, or maybe before and add a juice up to surprise users, or during main joker scoring so it could be optionally disabled by another joker

Or maybe just when added to deck, so it doesn't try to check jokers every frame

Or maybe check whenever that card changes position, and find that CardArea function someone else mentioned

[split saddle]

ideally, whenever its joker position index changes

[split saddle]

yeah

[vale glen]

Then you'll want to find that function in the cardarea Lua, and hook that

Dunno what it is though, because am on phone and don't have a lovely dump downloaded

[split saddle]

it's ok, i'm looking into it

thx

[rugged helm]

how do i check if the player is in a blind

[split saddle]

wonderful, didn't find anything. will leave this here if somebody else knows somethiing i don't :<

[signal rose]

if G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.in_blind then

[carmine burrow]

infinite handsize with juggler

[wild escarp]

Anyone know why this plays the sound once for each card? I'd like it to play only once.

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then
        local toDestroy = 0
        for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
            if context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() < 9 then
                toDestroy  = toDestroy + 1
            end
        end
        if toDestroy > 0 and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + (toDestroy * card.ability.extra.chip_gain)
        end
        return {
            chips = card.ability.extra.chips
        }
    end

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

[split saddle]

if i remember correctly, there's a joker in Jen's Almanac that does something similar and only works on context.before for updating, so maybe what i want to do doesn't work

[split saddle]

uhh.... yeah

[carmine burrow]

i assume that might be why jen's almanac does it on context.before

[split saddle]

sadge

[carmine burrow]

although probably "draw your entire deck" is like bottom 20% of jokers in that mod. haven't played it so idk

[pulsar flower]

what if the formula has no real number solutions

[vale glen]

If both of them were imaginary, multiplying the two imaginaries might still work

Just remove the imaginary term

[split saddle]

what is the pointer to a card's edition?

[keen totem]

oh yea you right

[pulsar flower]

oh hey you're that one friend of alb

long time no see

[vale glen]

Munyah?

We both have alb as a friend, no way

Wait how do you know Axy

[split saddle]

and what are the internal names

[pulsar flower]

you were in calldontwork for a while

[keen totem]

use -a instead of a ig

[vale glen]

Whaaaa, you know Jeff too

Ahhh

Things went badly there due to private reasons, so uh

[wheat jewel]

Does anyone have any tips on how to make all suits count as the same, i tried looking at smeared joker works but it seems to run a function dedicated towoards how smeared joker works

[split saddle]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/3adf02fc6d7f47f50d9fb2e26cf24e8873630866/src/jokers.lua#L3429

[wheat jewel]

thing is idk what smeared_check does

all i know is that might be how the game will make clubs and spades for example be the same thing

idk what documentation to look at

within SMODS

[wild escarp]

Is there a way to check if G.jokers.cards is a specific joker?

[vale glen]

You can look in your lovely dump and search for that function, then read what it does

[split saddle]

probably G.jokers.cards.config.center.key = "internal id"

[wheat jewel]

will take a look now

[signal rose]

    if ((card.base.suit == 'Hearts' or card.base.suit == 'Diamonds') and (suit == 'Hearts' or suit == 'Diamonds')) then
        return true
    elseif (card.base.suit == 'Spades' or card.base.suit == 'Clubs') and (suit == 'Spades' or suit == 'Clubs') then
        return true
    end
    return false
end```

[wheat jewel]

could I be able to put this function on a joker but have all of the suits be equal to each other within one consolidated if statement?

[split saddle]

probably yeah

maybe change the name of the function so that it doesn't override

[wheat jewel]

yeah most likely

hold on lemme try to cobble it together within my mod lua script

[signal rose]

at that point if it makes all suits equal it doesnt even need to check, it can just return true

[split saddle]

so like

function allsuits
  return true
end

nevermind, suitless cards are a thing

you still need to check if the card has a suit

[signal rose]

wll you'd be checking if the suit is one of the four suits, and then if the other suit is one of the four suits, and unless another mod is interfering, thats always gonna be true, so really it just turns into a stone check

[wheat jewel]

i did something like this

idk if making custom functions work like this

that is at the start of my mod code

should i remove the smods part

[split saddle]

yeah that's most likely good

[split saddle]

yeah

[wheat jewel]

aiiight

Tysm ^^

[signal rose]

i'd remove the smods but yeah that would work

[vale glen]

At that point you can just use the SMODS util file, there's a function that checks if a card has no suit or rank, or something like that

[vale glen]

How does this work with custom suits?

[signal rose]

that just wouldn't tbh

[vale glen]

Time to workshop it some more then, whee

[signal rose]

if you want it to fully work with custom i assume
if ((card.base.suit) and (suit)) then
might work lol

just checks if there is a suit at all since you're making all of them equal

[red flower]

local card_is_suit_ref = Card.is_suit
function Card:is_suit(suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
    local ret = card_is_suit_ref(self, suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
    if not ret and not SMODS.has_no_suit(self) and next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) then
        return true
    end
    return ret
end

[signal rose]

actually yeah that bypasses the whole function fair enough

[wintry swallow]

how do i get all currently visible hands

[red flower]

loop through G.GAME.hands and check which one is visible

they have a G.GAME.hands[name].visible property

[split saddle]

why does the game crash when checking a base card's edition?!?!

how do i prevent it?

[signal rose]

whats the crash message

[red flower]

and whats the code

[split saddle]

attempt to index 'edition' (nil value)

[red flower]

if the joker doesnt have an edition then .edition is nil

[split saddle]

apparently base edition cards have 'nil' edition

[split saddle]

yeah

how do i prevent that?

[red flower]

add it to the check

[signal rose]

do an if check beforehand

[split saddle]

if joker.edition ?

[red flower]

if not G.jokers.cards[1].edition or not G.jokers.cards[1].edition.negative then

[split saddle]

doesn't that return false if the card is base?

[red flower]

no

[split saddle]

i want to return true

[red flower]

it returns true

[signal rose]

if there is no edition or if the edition is not negative then

[split saddle]

i'm confused wait

[signal rose]

what do you want the condition to be?

[red flower]

if G.jokers.cards[1].edition and not G.jokers.cards[1].edition.negative then would be the opposite

if thats what you want

[split saddle]

i'm having brainfart syndrome wait

logic is hard

[vale glen]

Maybe learning Karnaugh maps would help

[red flower]

i have never done a karnaugh map outside school

[signal rose]

anyone worked with create_text_input() before? ive been looking at this for like 2 days and at this point i feel like i have to have overlooked something simple

[vale glen]

True, but it helps for parsing if statements like these

[split saddle]

so in the case of a base edition, it would be
if not nil and not false
and nil is a falsy value? is this correct

[split saddle]

what's that

[red flower]

try asking @manic rune

[verbal hare]

can someone check this?:

[manic rune]

whats the issue?

[nova epoch]

yo im makeing a mod for the first time and ive been following this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp-4U5TlbxY
im at the part where they show how to get the joker art to appear but its just not appearing for me, could anyone tell me why

    key = 'Jokers',
    path = 'Jokers.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'gamexplain',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'GAMEXPLAIN',
        text = {
            'When a pair of Kings or jacks is in a scored hand,',
            'gain a {X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult'
        }
    },
    Atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0}
}

[manic rune]

-# i just got up from bed :3

[verbal hare]

bump

[signal rose]

trying to use it as basically config modification, code is this:

palette_mod = SMODS.current_mod
function create_UIBox_palette_main_menu_settings()
    local t = create_UIBox_generic_options ({ back_func = 'palette', contents = {
        {n = G.UIT.C, config = { align = 'cm', id = 'palette_main_menu_settings_id' }, nodes = {
            create_text_input({
                w = 3, max_length = 6, prompt_text = 'Enter Hex Code', ref_table = palette_mod.config, ref_value = 'test', id = 'palette_main_menu_input',
                callback = function()
                    sendInfoMessage("Ran")
                end
            })
        }}
    }})
    return t
end```
i feel like i have to have overlooked something overly simple atp

[manic rune]

whats the issue

[red flower]

thats neither of the ones I wrote lol
also the second condition throws an error so it's not really false, it just that lua shortcuts the first condition in an and so false and whatever is always false

[manic rune]

like, is there anything wrong?

[vale glen]

It's a tool taught in introductory logic courses, that lists out all possibilities for a set of variables, then finds the simplest way to express it using Boolean algebra (if statements). It's not actually a good idea in actual code, but it helps to learn how to read Boolean algebra in general.

[red flower]

atlas lowercase

[signal rose]

its changing the value temporarily, but on restart it just resets, not sure how to get it to actually save in the smods config since usually i dont use create_text_input

[split saddle]

so the first condition is really just try-catch

[red flower]

basically

[manic rune]

oh, configs

i would suggest checking the keyboard controller mod on example mod

[split saddle]

i'll look into it

[nova epoch]

the second one?

[manic rune]

it also uses text input to save configs

[red flower]

yes

[nova epoch]

ok thx lemme see if this works

[signal rose]

i assume you mean this one?

yeah i will try helping everyone here, gn 👋

[vale glen]

Good luck xD

attempt to index edition (nil)

[vale glen]

What does your code look like

[manic rune]

^

[split saddle]

it's just an if statement

if not G.jokers.cards[i].edition and not G.jokers.cards[i].edition.negative then
this is what N gave me

[manic rune]

it shouldnt crash there

[red flower]

thats not what i gave you

[manic rune]

wait

shouldnt it be or

not and

[split saddle]

i'm 15/10 confused i'm sorry

[split saddle]

ok hold it for a second

[manic rune]

god let me wake up first, i think my brain is half loading rn

[vale glen]

Remove the first not in your code

[red flower]

do you want it to count base cards or not

[split saddle]

i want to pass for every card, except for negative cards. what is the correct solution

sorry for being kinda slow :(

[red flower]

this one then #💻・modding-dev message

[split saddle]

it finally didn't crash yay

thank you

[nova epoch]

it worked thanks

just had to unlock it with debugs

[verbal hare]

can someone help me in dm with my code?

[hardy viper]

💔

chat do i shill

[signal rose]

thank you so much, that actually worked really well (i had been overcomplicating it a lot)

[keen totem]

how do i get a pseudorandom value?

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[keen totem]

and is it possible to use the run seed?

[red flower]

it uses the run seed by default, that's the point of pseudorandom yes

[keen totem]

is "seed" the run seed or do i leave it blank to use the run seed?

[red flower]

but you give it an individual seed to have different rng sources

[red flower]

no you need to also give it a seed of your own

it uses both

[split saddle]

does the game not juice up debuffed cards?

[keen totem]

btw what do you use to check if a card is a certain suit?

[manic rune]

it should

[keen totem]

its just like :isSuit() right?

[manic rune]

:is_suit("Diamonds")

[split saddle]

doesn't seem like it does

[manic rune]

let me check

im pretty sure :juice_up works on all objects

[split saddle]

wait nevermind

i'm juicing the wrong thing

[manic rune]

sob

[keen totem]

to make my own probability local var (for text), would i do

update = function(self,card,dt)
  card.ability.extra.baseProb = G.GAME.probabilities.normal
end

[manic rune]

you dont need update

just return G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1 in loc_vars

-# the or 1 is important because it can be nil

[keen totem]

cant that change

thats the entire point isnt it

[manic rune]

yes that will change

[keen totem]

that oops can affect it

[manic rune]

yes

you dont want that?

[vale glen]

Hm... Still wondering what part of the Card object stores the atlas for the card itself, like the visuals for 2 of Hearts and all that. Axy wants to adjust the visuals for playing cards when scored, but not their actual values or any enchancements or similar.

[keen totem]

wouldnt making it 1 make oops ineffective

[wooden nexus]

Posted this in the modding chat, need dev thoughts: is 50/50 chance of spectral and tarots good enough?

[manic rune]

no, its checking if G.GAME.probabilities.normal exists, if its not then it will be set as 1

[manic rune]

actually, you might want some more nil checks

[keen totem]

config = { extra = {
        baseProb = G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1,
        overallChance = 4,
        diamonds = 2,
        spades = 50,
        clubs = 7,
        heartsChance = 2,
        heartsMult = 1.5,
    }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {
            card.ability.extra.baseProb,
            card.ability.extra.overallChance,
            card.ability.extra.diamonds,
            card.ability.extra.spades,
            card.ability.extra.clubs,
            card.ability.extra.heartsChance,
            card.ability.extra.heartsMult,
        }}
    end,

is this right

[manic rune]

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

yes, return that in loc_vars vars

[vale glen]

Oh, because it's in loc vars, so those objects may not exist

Am curious at which point the first two might not exist

[manic rune]

outside of a run, checking collections there, i think

[vale glen]

Ah

[split saddle]

how does making custom blinds work? are there any resources (similar to this video that are easy to follow)?

[manic rune]

[manic rune]

yes

[vale glen]

Omg

[split saddle]

Bunco mod does it

[manic rune]

use main_end

[lucid owl]

that's a way of passing an info_queue

[vale glen]

:o

That's cool

Not sure what to use that for but

[lucid owl]

okay using G.P_CENTERS.m_fmod_raffle_card works

[vale glen]

Never thought of sending more than just styled text in there

[lucid owl]

the table is for specific stuff i realize, while the G.P_CENTERS method puts the description and everything it inherits

Ok, weird question. Im working on a texture pack, and while working on the consumables ive been editing Tarots.png right? I can change the Tarot and Spectral cards just fine, but for some reason it isnt changing the planet cards?

Is there some kind of lua that I have to edit SPECIFICALLY just for the planets somehow?

Because as far as I can tell, the only place the textures exist in the files is Tarot.png

I'm not too versed on the subject of texture packs but I'd recommend looking at another texture pack mod and seeing if they have to do anything different to get planets to load

I mean I'll check, but I cant imagine there is, no other texture has needed multiple commands to divy up sections of a single file?

[nova epoch]

yo me again so i understand to get the game to check what rank the card is but how do i get it to check hat hand it is

i need it to check for a pair of jacks or kings

[split saddle]

i want you to understand what i mean. how am i supposed to know what each of these mean? i already know self, card because i've worked with them, but what is area and how do i use it?

[vale glen]

Ohhh, texture packs might help with Axy's idea, wonderful

[vale glen]

Not sure if that specific function is there, but you can check the lsp_def folder in the Steamodded mod for annotations on functions. It might give a short description of each parameter, if your IDE doesn't show that already while editing.

[manic rune]

i think self refers to the object itself

while card refers to the instance the code is running on specifically?

[keen totem]

how broken do you think that all gems combined (Onyx Agate, Bloodstone, Rough Gem, and Arrowhead) but 1/4 chance to proc at all is?

cause it seems even right

[manic rune]

only bloodstone and rough gem really matter

[keen totem]

but think about it

wild cards

[manic rune]

yes but +chips and +mult dont matter as much

[keen totem]

i mean

if the + mult triggers first

you are getting some use compared to Xmult

[manic rune]

if you have enough hand levels then eh

[keen totem]

(which i made it do)

it needs an order to trigger in

[manic rune]

i still think only bloodstone and rough gem are the good effects

if you have like flush lv 30 then +mult wont even matter anymore
