[snow vale]

i learnt here, but yeah u can start with balatro modding starter pack

[crisp coral]

or heavily modify existing code

[snow vale]

how can i type in the pi symbol 💔

instead of Xpi

it would be cool to have Xπ

[hard mica]

you cant

[wind steppe]

does balala not support unicode?

shame

π

[hard mica]

is it supposed to be modprefix.Pi?

[crisp coral]

the balala font doesn't support pi symbol

[keen totem]

is there anywhere to generate balala font text for card sprites?

[red flower]

the type might be an invalid key

[hushed field]

the font on cards is handdrawn and not consistent

[keen totem]

ok

[hard mica]

idk i guess?

[red flower]

what's in the joker config?

[hard mica]

it was modprefix_Pi

i wish i couldve made it so it need to be 3 10 4 to give that pokjer hand

but idk how to do that

[wind steppe]

what do yall think the best way to explain to a player why they lost is

i cant achievement on the game over screen nor the next run sooo

im out of ideas

[daring fern]

Have jimbo say it?

[wind steppe]

how do i do that

[keen totem]

this is what i have for my tarot card so far, dont know what to put on the inside

[daring fern]

You add a custom quip and you patch where he says things on the losing screen.

[wintry swallow]

could someone help me with a problem i'm having?

[onyx sonnet]

well depends on what the problem is

[wintry swallow]

I think it's reletivly simple, just need a bit of help starting it up

[daring fern]

Yes, but what is the problem?

[wind steppe]

where do i add quips?

[daring fern]

localization > misc > quips

[wind steppe]

ty

[daring fern]

Then it's like ```lua
again = {
"Again!"
}

[wintry swallow]

I am making a joker that gives 1.5x mult upon scoring a gold card, but has a 1/3 chance to destroy said cards, but I cant make it destroy the cards after giving 1.5x mult, only before

[daring fern]

Code?

[wind steppe]

what function determines what quip to use upon run loss?

[daring fern]

Jimbo:add_speech_bubble('again', nil, {quip = true})

[keen loom]

do most mods limit to the default 5 jokers, or do they extend this limit?

[daring fern]

You mean joker slots?

[keen loom]

yeah

[snow vale]

how do i fix this? (a joker generates them)

[daring fern]

Yes, definitely.

A lot more.

[keen loom]

like... how many would be seemed balanced?

[daring fern]

Quite a few, probably.

[keen loom]

i was thinking maybe about 10 joker slots

[keen totem]

yea ngl idk what this is even supposed to show

but

[keen loom]

at first i thought it's cheese 😭

[keen totem]

its supposed to be destroyed houses

bc they cant be maintained in an apocalypse

because i dont want to draw people

[covert palm]

Needs more cracks and broken ground methinks

The houses are a little too perfect

[west prism]

is there a context table that stores held in hand cards like how context.full_hand stores cards played? or even played and held cards combined

[red flower]

no

G.hand.cards has them

[west prism]

ohhh nice ty!

[wind steppe]

what would i return to set the quip?

i cant find where in the code this function is actually defined

only the uses of it

[daring fern]

game.lua in Game:update_game_over

[wind steppe]

more uneven holes maybe

less perfect circles

[keen totem]

ngl i dont feel like doing it again bc i already put it in the assets folder

i literally have a joker called Jegg its not that deep

[hushed field]

probably overlooking something obvious, but it seems that the pseudorandom function returns 1.9 as a value, but that's above the max value I've given

[red flower]

i thought it only did integers with min/max

[hushed field]

Ooh, that'd explain it

I'll check after I've eaten, I guess

[modern kindle]

i see an ice and an n, happy day

[red flower]

hii dilly

[modern kindle]

hello

[errant karma]

money amount is showing as nil in card desc

[red flower]

you have money at #1#

[hushed field]

Yo, Dilly

[modern kindle]

how has life been ice

feel like i aint seen you in ages

[oblique pond]

it's set to "dollars" in config, should be "money" (and #2# should be #1# in the description)

[hushed field]

I've spent too much time just hanging out here helping people install mods, haha

[gaunt thistle]

Dilly 🔥

[keen totem]

how do i get the currently selected cards for consumables?

[red flower]

G.consumeables.highlighted[1]

[errant karma]

still shows as +nil

[red flower]

did you also change the config?

[keen totem]

so would i use like #G.consumeables.highlighted == 2 to find if the player is selecting 2 cards rn

[wind steppe]

why doesn't this overwrite the jimbo quip on run loss?

para_jimbotalk_old = add_speech_bubble
add_speech_bubble = function(self, arg1, arg2, arg3)
    if true then
        para_jimbotalk_old('pineapple', nil, {quip = true})
    else
        para_jimbotalk_old(self, arg1, arg2, arg3)
    end
end

[red flower]

oh i read that wrong sorry
G.hand.highlighted

[keen totem]

yea

i dont need which consumables are highlighted

although that is interesting

ill keep that in mind

[keen totem]

does this extend to the cards in arcana packs?

[errant karma]

what do i change (im very stupid so sorry in advance)

[keen totem]

so do i need an or

[red flower]

read it wrong again lol

yes it does

[keen totem]

yea ok

[red flower]

im tired i need to get off work

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[wind steppe]

bump

[errant karma]

ah ok so i got it wrong lol

[keen totem]

can i use

config = { extra = {
        cards = 2
    }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.cards}}
    end,

for consumables or do i need to change some stuff

[errant karma]

thank youuuuuu

[red flower]

yeah

[scarlet imp]

the hashtags around numbers tell the code which variable from loc_vars to reference, so even though its $2 per card, it should say $#1#

[errant karma]

got it

[wind steppe]

perfect

[keen totem]

SMODS.Consumable{
    key = "Infection",
    set = "Tarot",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Infection",
        text = {
            "Enhances {C:attention}2{} selected cards to {C:attention}Virus cards{}"
        }
    },
    atlas = "Infection",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    cost = 3,
    config = { extra = {
        cards = 2
    }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.cards}}
    end,
    use = function(self,card,area,copier)
        for i,v in ipairs(G.hand.highlighted) do
            v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["m_CGN_Virus"])
        end
    end,
    can_use = function(self,card)
        if #G.hand.highlighted == card.ability.extra.cards then
            return true
        else
            return false
        end
    end
}

so would this work for a tarot that adds an enhancement

eh ill just test it

[wind steppe]

bump

[red flower]

tarots have config options to do it automatically

check vanillaremade :3

[keen totem]

ah

[red flower]

but the code looks correct

[wintry swallow]

sorry for asking, but has there been any progress on my problem?

[red flower]

what is the problem?

[keen totem]

config = {
        max_highlighted = 2,
        mod_conv = "m_CGN_Virus"
    },
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.max_highlighted,card.ability.mod_conv}}
    end,
``` so just this?

[red flower]

yes

[wintry swallow]

I am making a joker that gives 1.5x mult upon scoring a gold card, but has a 1/3 chance to destroy said gold card, but I cant get it to destroy the card after scoring, only before

[daring fern]

No, you would localize card.ability.mod_conv in loc_vars

[red flower]

use context.destroy_card

[keen totem]

what

[wind steppe]

bump

[red flower]

if you return that in loc_vars and use it in the description it's going to just be the key, not the name

[hushed field]

You don't want to call start_dissolve on a playing card during calculations, generally. The reason it happens before is due to the way the calculations handles animation

You do indeed wanna use context destroy_card

[hushed field]

No clue

[keen totem]

im just using it hardcoded for the description

at least the enhancement

[wintry swallow]

when I try to destroy the card after the calculations, the game crashes :(

[hushed field]

That's why I didn't suggest you should do it that way

[daring fern]

Because it is Card_Character:add_speech_bubble

[wintry swallow]

sorry, misread it

[keen totem]

:juice_up(0.3, 0.3) what do those 2 args do?

[hushed field]

One's duration, other severity, iirc?

[oblique pond]

how could i tell if the player is in the shop? (from within a consumable)

[hushed field]

I can give you the exact variable in a moment but there's a state called something like IN_SHOP. What's the reason the consumable wants to check whether you're in the shop?

[oblique pond]

it sets the current shop's reroll cost to 0, and this would not be very useful if you're not in the shop

so i'm making it not usable if you aren't in the shop

[hushed field]

Ah, makes sense. I can gave you the exact syntax in a sec, but you could check the source code for SHOP in all capitals if you're not that patient, haha

[oblique pond]

alr, i'll go do that, thx

[wind steppe]

my game crashes when i lose a run

para_jimbotalk_old = Card_Character.add_speech_bubble
Card_Character.add_speech_bubble = function(self, arg1, arg2, arg3)
    if true then
        para_jimbotalk_old('pineapple', nil, {quip = true})
    else
        para_jimbotalk_old(self, arg1, arg2, arg3)
    end
end

[oblique pond]

if G.STATES.SHOP?

[wintry swallow]

I tried to replace the context.other_card:start_dissolve() with context.destroy_card(), but it crashes anytime a gold card scores

[daring fern]

You're not inputting self

[hushed field]

Contexts aren't functions, they're variables containing an array, number, string or a bool

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/599f32c1caeee6f17e64d849c36768435f77d418/src/jokers.lua#L1443

[errant karma]

tryna make a joker that's reserved parking without the 1 in 2 thing, how would i do that?

[wind steppe]

ty

oh shit i shot jimbo

what mod adds this????

[oblique pond]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1268971774708678731 ?

thats the only one i can think of

[hushed field]

Cardsauce, iirc

Has that mod implemented as a feature

[wind steppe]

oh i have that one

[oblique pond]

ah ok

[wind steppe]

jimbo noooo

[wintry swallow]

one more question, but how do I make it destroy only 1 card instead of the full hand?

[red flower]

context.destroy_card is the card being calculated so you would check if that's the correct card, like in context.individual

[wintry swallow]

sorry, but could you provide a code example? im new to this stuff :(

[red flower]

which card do you want to destroy?

[wintry swallow]

0-all gold cards scored played depending on rng

[red flower]

ok let's say it's all for now

if context.destroy_card and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.destroy_card, "m_gold") then
     return { remove = true }
end

[hasty mist]

ive never worked with joker retriggers before, why doesn't this work?

[keen totem]

do you need to do :flip() and have a true/false

[red flower]

wdym

[keen totem]

card:flip() without args only flips

doesnt unflip

[red flower]

it does

[sturdy compass]

You need to enable an optional feature with SMODS. Add this to your main file:
SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = { retrigger_joker = true }

[keen totem]

its not

[hasty mist]

ive already done that

[red flower]

what's the code

[sturdy compass]

Hmm I see

[tight notch]

i'm trying to make a deck that gives you a card whne you start, but when I use it I get this:

[keen totem]

too much, gimme a sec

[red flower]

keep in mind that flipping is not done in events so if you do it twice in a row it's going to be the same as not doing it

[keen totem]

when is it done

[keen loom]

does this reads well?

[daring fern]

Try removing the card area check.

[wintry solar]

here are the docs

you're checking the context incorrectly

[red flower]

it's done in update so you need to make it into an event yourself

[tight notch]

the deck also displays as "ERROR"

[cyan lagoon]

where'd you find that

[sturdy compass]

I took too long and let eremel beat me to the punch 😔

[wintry solar]

in my secret special place

[keen totem]

my code is 400 over the discord limit

gimme a second here

[sturdy compass]

Also Eremel ty for the hand limit API, very pleased with that implementation

[keen totem]

trying to copy the tarot card flipping and juicing and upgrading and allat

[wintry solar]

been waiting a while to merge that one 🤣

[wintry swallow]

I put it in, but even when removing the rng function, it still wont destroy any of the cards :(

[red flower]

func1 and func2 don't exist

[wind steppe]

how would i check when a specific joker caused me to lose in a function hook? (the joker has an effect that makes you lose)

[sturdy compass]

It finally went thru yesterday lol

[cyan lagoon]

anyone knows how to exclude cards from SMODS.add_card?

[keen totem]

oh i thought that was just for naming a thing

[hasty mist]

somehow, that causes a crash when discarding?

[keen totem]

so its one big part of the table

[red flower]

no, func is a specific field, you need to put everything there

[wind steppe]

para_jimbotalk_old = Card_Character.add_speech_bubble
Card_Character.add_speech_bubble = function(self, arg1, arg2, arg3)
    if true then -- Replace true with if the pineapple made you lose
        para_jimbotalk_old(self, 'pineapple', nil, {quip = true})
    else
        para_jimbotalk_old(self, arg1, arg2, arg3)
    end
end
SMODS.Joker{ -- Pineapple implementation.
    key = 'pineapple',
    config = { extra = {
        xmult = 3
    }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = {x = 4, y = 0},
    pools = { ["Food"] = true },
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 2,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = false,
    perishable_compat = false,
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.xmult}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        elseif context.end_of_round then
            G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER
            G.STATE_COMPLETE = false
        end
    end
}

[wintry solar]

card here is your blind

[red flower]

you can't AFAIK

[cyan lagoon]

a

[red flower]

you can create an ObjectType or make a list yourself

[keen totem]

how would i put a message in between two of the events

[red flower]

SMODS.calculate_effect({message=""}, card)

[wind steppe]

how would i save something between runs?

[keen totem]

how can i change the color of that?

[red flower]

add it to the message table like you would in a return

[wind steppe]

or just until the next run starts

[daring fern]

Put it on the profile.

[wind steppe]

how do i do that

[keen totem]

would this work or am i still messing smth up

[red flower]

yeah

[daring fern]

G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].variable = value

[tight notch]

bump

[wind steppe]

loc_txt not loc_text

[keen totem]

ok so

that works

but now i have a much bigger problem

[red flower]

also it's SMODS.add_card
is that a custom ObjectType?

[keen totem]

2 virus cards can pick the same card to infect

and i have no clue why

[red flower]

do you have any check for that?

[keen totem]

(in the calculate for an enhancement)

canInfect is to stop cards that just got infected from infecting

hasSoap makes it so having soap = instant no infection

no clue why they can pick the same one tho

[red flower]

hmm but don't you set the enhancement at the end?

[keen totem]

yea

thats why im confused

do context.after's run at the EXACT same time?

not like one after another?

[red flower]

if you set up an enhancement in the return then context.after is not going to see it

because calculations are done before events

[tight notch]

oh, i thought it was something else

[keen totem]

so set the enhancement to some placeholder thats not no enhancement instantly

then change it to virus

[tight notch]

i assumed it was like create card but different

[red flower]

you can also just do card.virus_infected = true

[tight notch]

tysm i never noticed

[red flower]

no smods adds SMODS.create_card and SMODS.add_card
the syntax is also different

[tight notch]

oh ok

well in this deck how would i use it like above

[keen totem]

so is context after run as
1st card non events
2nd card non events
1st card events
2nd card events

[red flower]

yeah

[keen totem]

ok

then this should work

[tight notch]

as in a function inside of a deck

[red flower]

what do you want to add? i dont know what that is in the description

[keen totem]

can i just make up variables out of nowhere like that?

or do i have to set it somewhere first

[pale holly]

i feel pretty stupid not understand i could have done another extra with my extra simply like this, well i'll die less stupid tonight

[red flower]

yes
they get deleted on reload but you don't care in this instance because you only need them while scoring

[keen totem]

nice

okay wait

if its infected

then vampire'd

then can it be infected again?

or will that break it

wait i can just set infected false again

[red flower]

you would need to set the variable back to nil after scoring

[tight notch]

like here where it creates a card when you start the deck

[red flower]

no, yeah but what exactly are you trying to create?

[tight notch]

a deck where you start with a joker

[red flower]

i get that but which joker

[keen totem]

this is an incredibly flimsy solution, but it works so idc

[tight notch]

one from a custom pool

that i made

[red flower]

that's what lucky cards do in vanilla basica

lly

[keen totem]

damn

if thunk did it, i uh

actually

he chose to use LOVE2D to make a game

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card{set="poolkey"}

[keen totem]

(i just hate LOVE2D with my entire soul)

[tight notch]

how would i implement this? like as a seperate object? (very new to smods and lua so i'm a bit confused)

[keen totem]

@daring fern dont ? me, LOVE2D is ass

[daring fern]

Why LOVE2D specifically and not lua?

[vast night]

hi AGAIN :D
how do i check if the selected blind is the boss blind

[keen totem]

lua is good

love2d is bad

[vast night]

blind.name returns the name

[vast night]

love both ❤️

[keen totem]

love2d has NOTHING

[vast night]

except balatro

[keen totem]

not sleeps, not buttons, not a single thing

you have to custommake all of it

[vast night]

python

[hasty mist]

How do i check for a specific joker? similarly to how this checks for a specific blind

[vast night]

seems like something caclled object oriented

[keen totem]

yea

but like

[daring fern]

SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")

[keen totem]

literally any other game making system is better

[hasty mist]

tyty

[shell timber]

??

[keen totem]

even

unity

[shell timber]

horrendously bad take

[red flower]

no just replace add_card() for that

[shell timber]

love2d is fun because you can make silly prototypes easily and also make proper games

it is a good engine

[keen totem]

well i do not like it

[shell timber]

okay fair. but it is not objectively bad

[keen totem]

maybe not objectively

i never said that tho

i just hate it bc if youre gonna make smth with lua

id rather go and make it in roblox tbh

[hasty mist]

have i missed something here?

[high sinew]

What’s the extra in soul pos?

[shell timber]

"batteries not included" (for lack of a better term) engines are common and good

[hasty mist]

middle layer

[red flower]

you need next() with find_card because it always returns a table

[hasty mist]

there's three layers for exotic jokers

[hasty mist]

wdym

[tight notch]

i'm assuming that this is an error with the custom pool. do you know what could be wrong with it?

[red flower]

next(SMODS.find_card(...))

[hasty mist]

ah

[red flower]

oh i thought it was an objecttype
i dont know if those pools do anything

[hasty mist]

hm, it still has no effect

[red flower]

you need to make an SMODS.ObjectType

[tight notch]

it looks like it is an object type

[red flower]

i mean this
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType

or set won't work

you want a list of jokers right?

[tight notch]

?

[red flower]

you want to create from a pool of jokers? or just a specific one?

[tight notch]

yeah from a pool

[red flower]

then make one of these

[tight notch]

i've mostly been going off of code that i've seen from other mods(yahimod and cryptid)

it's weird that the way they did it just doesn't work

[gaunt thistle]

love2d is cool

good framework

just wish it got more updates

[red flower]

they may have set those up somewhere else

[tight notch]

checking the yahimod, the jokers have pools defined in them and then consumeables can create jokers from that pool no issue

ig consumeables are different from decks in this case

[red flower]

I just checked and yahimod makes objecttypes

https://github.com/Yahiamice/yahimod-balatro/blob/393cc64bdd2e4ffd5e6ccff88c883b4a9611ae73/core.lua#L105

[cursive sentinel]

is there a detect for when a poker hand level is changed?

[daring fern]

Hook level_up_hand?

[cursive sentinel]

will do that, thx !

[tight notch]

ah ok, do you know where those are defined?

[cursive sentinel]

G.GAME.hands[hand].level needs to be to_big too right?

[red flower]

where i linked lol

[tight notch]

nvm found it

[hasty mist]

not sure what the issue is here, it clearly states that chips should be set to mult and vice versa, but ingame it has no effect

[native star]

does somone know what the key for showman is? I'm trying to make a joker that creates a showman

[daring fern]

j_ring_master

[native star]

yeah of course what else? thx!

[hasty mist]

localthunk moment

[boreal vale]

Hey I’m new to modding, does anyone know if there’s a way to put a new image on screen? Like if I wanted a joker to put an image of a cat on the screen when it triggers?

[keen tiger]

does anyone know why in the world G.STATE == 999 when opening a booster pack?

i can find nothing about this in the codebase

im frankly baffled

[keen tiger]

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

why

why does smods need to do this

does it just bypass all other booster states?!?!?!?! @daring fern

[outer basalt]

how does one make a rarity badge be ✨ gradient ✨

[daring fern]

When a booster pack is opened yes.

[daring fern]

SMODS.Gradient

[outer basalt]

i mean like

[keen tiger]

i kind of need the old state for what im working on. how do i disable this

[outer basalt]

how do i put it in there

[keen tiger]

like, i need to know when the state is arcana/celestial/buffoon/etc

[outer basalt]

i have the gradient i just dont know what to put in badge_colour

[daring fern]

local gradient = SMODS.Gradient{} then put gradient there.

[keen tiger]

how do i work around this and infer which booster state is which @daring fern

[outer basalt]

i mean like. this

its not doing a gradient rn its just. oure white

[daring fern]

Put the gradient first then put it in a variable and use that.

[tight notch]

added pool as an object type in the main lua file and getting same error

[red flower]

smods also adds a value for the current booster that's opened something like SMODS.opened_booster

[keen tiger]

thank you

[red flower]

the key might need your mod's prefix? idk

[outer basalt]

okay yay this worked

[tight notch]

i'll try that

[red flower]

it's in SMODS.Gradients.prefix_key btw

[faint yacht]

SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER.config.center.key to check key of said booster, yeah.

[red flower]

yeah

[keen tiger]

thanks

[red flower]

center.kind might be useful as well

[faint yacht]

True, if you want to "theme" any given booster packs together.

[tight notch]

tried, same error

[vast night]

/bump

[red flower]

now that im checking you shouldn't need the prefix..
can i see the code for the deck again?

[outer basalt]

i figured but i couldnt find anything about the prefix key?

[red flower]

prefix is your mods prefix, key is the key you set in the gradient

[red flower]

oh, that's not the syntax

[outer basalt]

ohhh

[tawdry shale]

i'm having trouble figuring out how probability works (card is a 1 in 3 chance of x7 mult)

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card{set="gcmember", area=G.jokers}

[outer basalt]

so like Gradients.OCJ_Concept

[tight notch]

just this with no other paramaters?

[vast night]

what's exactly the problem?

[red flower]

card.ability.extra.odds

[red flower]

oh sorry for a custom objecttype it might also need the area

there

[tight notch]

oh ok i understand now

[vast night]

how do i check if the selected blind is the boss blind?

[tawdry shale]

also in the card description it's saying "nil in nil chance for x7 mult"

[red flower]

G.GAME.blind.boss

[vast night]

oh bruhh

[vast night]

you need to modify the loc_vars function

like this

loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card) return { G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1, card.ability.extra.odds } end

[still plank]

can i change the keybind for debugplus cuz there is no / on my keyboard i need to press shift + 7 to get it so the console doesnt work

[vast night]

or more beautiful

loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
  return { G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1, card.ability.extra.odds }
end

[vast night]

german found

same

[still plank]

im not german tho

[tight notch]

alr it works

[vast night]

k sorry lol$

uhm$

wait

[still plank]

np

[vale plinth]

Das ist schade

[vast night]

seems like its unchangeable

try searching in the mod files

[still plank]

okay

[vast night]

update: its in the DebugPlus/debugplus/console.lua folder

function global.consoleHandleKey(key)
    if not consoleOpen then
        if key == '/' or key == 'kp/' then
            if util.isShiftDown() then
                showNewLogs = not showNewLogs
            else
                openNextFrame = true -- This is to prevent the keyboard handler from typing this key
            end
        end
        return true
    end

[still plank]

oh i was just search

ing

it

[vast night]

you can also use the numeric key

[still plank]

can i just do it like .

[still plank]

this code at 460 right?

[vast night]

idk

just search

[still plank]

function global.consoleHandleKey(key)
if not consoleOpen then
if key == '.' or key == 'kp.' then
if util.isShiftDown() then
showNewLogs = not showNewLogs
else
openNextFrame = true -- This is to prevent the keyboard handler from typing this key
end
end
return true
endis this good

cuz i want it to be ''.''

[gaunt thistle]

are you by any chance on a non english keyboard layout?

[still plank]

qwerty

[gaunt thistle]

well ok, my nordic layout keyboard is also qwerty haha

[still plank]

is the code aight

[gaunt thistle]

like is your slash button here

[vast night]

try

[vast night]

no

its at shnift+7

[gaunt thistle]

I was asking eymen

[vast night]

quick q again: how do i change the amount of joker slots by 1?

[gaunt thistle]

but cool, mine's there too. it's a silly spot to push a slash

[vast night]

sry didnt want to sound rude

[vast night]

i swear 😭

[gaunt thistle]

I've been adapting to this layout and it's been awful as a developer haha

but no worries

[vast night]

no i have it also like this

[still plank]

ye it worked

[red flower]

G.jokers:change_size(1) iirc

[keen loom]

does this card reads well?

[wintry solar]

is it supposed to say shadows

[keen loom]

yeah

[wintry solar]

it isn't very clear

[vast night]

i just used G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1 now

imma try tho

[tawdry shale]

it's almost there, everything displays and updates properly w/ the oops all sixes and stuff like that but i feel like it still never triggers

[gaunt thistle]

joke tuah

[vast night]

try adding a print("test") before the pseudorandom to see if it fires

[wintry solar]

it won't ever trigger because a joker will never have a context where context.main_scoring is true

[tawdry shale]

should it be context.joker_main?

[wintry solar]

yeah

[clever rose]

I'm trying to code a joker that only gives 3x mult when the played hand is only 7s, this runs, but it still gives 3x mult for all hands, any ideas why?

[wintry solar]

your local notallsevens variable is set to 0 in every context, you need to either set the flag on the object or do the check in the joker_main context

[vast night]

you need to have a "if context.joker_main then" in the calc

[faint yacht]

...funky loop.

[wintry solar]

@tall wharf I have cleaned up your patches, if you could test it works fine for you I'm happy to merge

[tall wharf]

ty

[faint yacht]

-# Oh god the rescoring even affected the held in hand stuff.

[tall wharf]

i think you can just merge i haven't actually coded anything

[gusty iron]

is there anyway i can force a boss blind to spawn on an ante?

[wintry solar]

did you not have some descriptions that utilised it?

[tall wharf]

i do

[gusty iron]

(eg, if i want a certain boss blind to forcefully\ spawn every ante thats a multiple of 12)

[wintry solar]

do they still work?

[vast night]

it feels weir asking the whole time but how do i get the amount of cards with a specific rank in a calc func?

[tall wharf]

ill test in a sec

default fonts seems to work

[tawdry shale]

now i feel like it's triggering everytime

[tall wharf]

but uh

[gaunt thistle]

cute art

[gusty iron]

i dont think the balatro font has japanese support

cause it also worked really weirdly when i tried special characters

[tall wharf]

this is the very pr that is adding support for custom fonts

[gusty iron]

oh

wait

i just realized

mb

[tight notch]

this mod looks so cool i love teto(can you tell)

[tall wharf]

yes

[gusty iron]

also hi aikoyori!!

[tall wharf]

hi

[wintry solar]

well now you're doing the check on every played card

[wintry solar]

it's just, not there?

        }))

        playing_card_joker_effects({ true })```
what do i change in order to create a stone card?

[tall wharf]

it's just

not there yeahj

i might have done something wrong

[keen totem]

what would be a good value for an Xmult-giving enhancement?

[tall wharf]

unless the implementation changed

[vast night]

1.5 🔥

depends

[snow vale]

lower than glass card, maybe 1.25

[wintry solar]

I dont think I changed how it loads stuff

[keen totem]

oh i totally forgot about glass

[tight notch]

when trying to add the curate voucher(from cryptid) the game gives me this error upon starting the deck. the voucher works fine normally so i'm wondering if something else is happening

[tight notch]

not using the cry_ prefix btw if it helps

[tall wharf]

and yeah the default one loads fine

[wintry solar]

hmmmm

[tall wharf]

also

[faint yacht]

-# dear god, unintended side effects of the hooking...

[wintry solar]

I can just download your dev build right?

[tall wharf]

yeah

just remove ui_text.toml (the patch i contributed) and change stuff in fonts.lua

[keen totem]

why do you have yen

[tight notch]

exact same error when using prefix

[keen totem]

one sec

[faint yacht]

Just https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1358990385799757884 things.

[snow vale]

what's the key name for the ace?

[wooden nexus]

The heck, you got YEN!?

[cursive sentinel]

the id you mean?

[snow vale]

like K is king

[cursive sentinel]

ah, think i saw it was A in strength code

[lament sparrow]

Man, I'm too smooth brain for this lol

[snow vale]

okk

[faint yacht]

yeth.

[unborn bay]

yen

[tight notch]

human brains were not built for this

[keen totem]

so i found the cryptid code that causes the issue

[cursive sentinel]

i don't need for a not context.blueprint in add_to_deck() nor remove_from_deck() right?

[tall wharf]

#1358990385799757884

we should be farming wheat and dying of dysentery

[tall wharf]

I'm adding more kasane teto

if you say you love kasane teto

[lament sparrow]

I'm failing so horribly coding this

[wintry solar]

OH I see what's happened

[tall wharf]

also i forgot about the hardcore challenge

[keen totem]

what the hell did i just find

[wintry solar]

there they are

[keen totem]

Prevents Death
Adds 66 debuffed Stone cards to deck
Self-Destructs
(in someones mod wiki)

[cursive sentinel]

yeah iirc he has a joker that removes all debuffed cards from deck

the effect is fun

[unborn bay]

finally font

[keen totem]

right down one yes

Consumes lead from Steel Cards
Gains +25 Chips every time lead is consumed
(Currently +0 Chips)

[tight notch]

where?

[gusty iron]

how would i make a boss blind disable face_cards?? i dont know if im understanding this right, but heres my current debuff table:

debuff = {is_face = true},

[keen totem]

plant

[tawdry shale]

thank u sm (it works now)

[keen totem]

check vanilla remade tho

and find plant

[gusty iron]

could i get the link to that?

[keen totem]

on mathisfuns github

since mods have to have source visible

[keen totem]

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

[tight notch]

i mean like where in the source code?

[keen totem]

uh actually i dont think vanillaremade has blinds

[lament sparrow]

it doesn't

[keen totem]

check your error

[gusty iron]

yeah. :P

[keen totem]

modifiers.lua

[tight notch]

alr

[daring fern]

No?

[keen totem]

yes

the source code is on bros github

[daring fern]

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptid

[keen totem]

yea

thats math is fun's github account

[gusty iron]

heres what the page says for debuffs:

--debuff = {}: Configure vanilla Blind effects with these fields:
--Disallowing hands in full:
hand = { ['Hand Type'] = true} --for a specific set of hands,
h_size_ge = n, --must play at least n cards,
h_size_le = n, --must play at most n cards.
--Debuffing cards:

value = '2' --for one specific rank,
nominal = n --for all ranks scoring n base chips,
is_face = true --for all face cards.

[tall wharf]

no

[keen totem]

wait

[tall wharf]

math is on hiatus

[wooden nexus]

What?

[keen totem]

i coulda sworn it said it was on his somewhere on there

[tall wharf]

custom fonts in steamodded

[keen totem]

idk

[snow vale]

what's the one for the stone card?

[keen totem]

yea MathIsFun0/Talisman links to SpectralPack/Talisman

is it just a redirect or what

[cursive sentinel]

my go to is to check for SMODS.has_enhancement(self, 'm_stone')

[tight notch]

stil confused, what about this causes the voucher to not work when added through a deck?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[cursive sentinel]

you can also card.ability and card.ability.name == "m_stone" (or "Stone", i dont rememebr)

[snow vale]

yeah but im using it to create it, not to check if you have

[keen totem]

idk

do you think that {X:mult,C:white} being for X mult was intentional

cause background totally couldve been B:

[snow vale]

oh wait

i think ik how

[cursive sentinel]

well the key is m_stone

[snow vale]

kk

[oblique pond]

what's the key for the vanilla eternal sticker? looked through source code and couldn't find it

[keen totem]

when in doubt, check vanillaremade

[daring fern]

eternal

[keen totem]

what do you need it for

[gusty iron]

i have ```lua
debuff = {is_face = true}

but its not debuffing face cards for some reason??

[keen totem]

cause you can directly do some stuff

[oblique pond]

a very silly seal that makes eternal jokers when scored and doesn't need room

[tight notch]

that is indeed quite silly

[keen totem]

do can just do joker:set_eternal(true)

[tall wharf]

oh right

[daring fern]

You just do SMODS.add_card({set = "Joker", stickers = {"eternal"}})

[tall wharf]

i need to make the peakest non joke mod of all time

[keen totem]

@daring fern

it works

card:set_eternal(true) makes a card eternal

[daring fern]

Yes.

[snow vale]

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card is better.

[keen totem]

then whats with the ❓

[keen totem]

okay

[oblique pond]

yeah, just was checking to make sure i didn't need to add a prefix like everything else in vanilla

[tight notch]

Since curate isn't working, is there an alternative way to make everything have an edition

as in things you find in the shop

[daring fern]

What do you mean curate doesn't work? It works fine for me.

[snow vale]

    key = "banana",
    set = "food",
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Banana',
        text = {
            'Create a {C:attention}stone card{}',
            'and add it to your hand'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'banana',
    cost = 1,
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    can_use = function(self,card)
        return G.GAME.blind.in_blind
    end,
    in_pool = function(self,args)
        return true
    end,
    use = function(self,card,area,copier)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                local _suit = pseudorandom_element({ 'S', 'H', 'D', 'C' }, pseudoseed('crackers'))
                local _card = create_playing_card({ front = G.P_CARDS[_suit .. '_K'], center = G.P_CENTERS.c_base }, G.hand,
                    nil, nil, { G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Enhanced.m_stone })

                G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(_card)
                G.hand:sort()
                card:juice_up()
                return true
            end
        }))

        playing_card_joker_effects({ true })
    end
}

[gusty iron]

checking if a card is a face card is just card:is_face(), right?

[tight notch]

when trying to make a deck where you start with it, the game crashes

it works perfectly fine if you obtain through the shop

[daring fern]

You would replicate what curate does then.

[tight notch]

i'll try

[gusty iron]

okay yeah i got it to work :)

[tight notch]

what's the difference between apply and init in the context of a deck

[snow vale]

what's the error here?

[vast night]

hi again

[daring fern]

apply exists, and init doesn't.

[red flower]

init is a cryptid thing iirc

[vast night]

how do i check if a card is enhanced

[red flower]

next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card))

[daring fern]

if next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card))

[vast night]

oh k

lol thanks

[tight notch]

would poll edition work as a function to replicate curate?

[snow vale]

bump

[daring fern]

Yes, that's what Curate uses.

[hybrid shadow]

what's the condition for the played hand being a pair

[daring fern]

if context.scoring_name == "Pair"

[tight notch]

poll_edition(nil, 1, false, true, {"e_foil", "e_holo", "e_polychrome", "e_negative"}) so would this work or do I need to change it? and how would I implement this into the apply function?

[snow vale]

what's the center?

[tall wharf]

@wintry solar what was the fix to my issue lmao

did anything weird appear in my codebase

<@&1133519078540185692>

[wintry solar]

I changed how render_scale works so you just need to multiply your values by 20

[tall wharf]

oh

right

ok thanks for the heads up

[snow vale]

fake steamcommunity link

what was his user?

[hybrid shadow]

like this?

[snow vale]

oh they got him

[daring fern]

Don't return the scaling.

[snow vale]

the mods are REALLY fast

[hybrid shadow]

other than that its fine though?

[daring fern]

I think so.

[scarlet imp]

trying to maker a Joker that makes a copy of The Fool on blind select, the same way Cartomancer works. I copied the code from Cartomancer and modified it to be specific to The Fool, but it does nothing:

calculate_joker = function(self, context)
        if self.debuff then return nil end
        if context.setting_blind and not self.getting_sliced then
            if not (context.blueprint_card or self).getting_sliced and #G.consumables.cards + G.GAME.consumable_buffer < G.consumables.config.card_limit then
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = (function()
                        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                            func = function()
                                local card = create_card("Tarot", G.consumables, nil, nil, nil, nil, G.P_CENTERS.c_fool, "fool")
                                card:add_to_deck()
                                G.consumables:emplace(card)
                                G.GAME.consumable_buffer = 0
                                return true
                            end}))
                            card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, "extra", nil, nil, nil, {message = localize("k_plus_tarot"), colour = G.C.PURPLE})
                            return true
                        end)}))
            end
        end
    end

any suggestions?

[daring fern]

The key needs to be "c_fool" not the center.

[scarlet imp]

So "G.c_fool or just "c_fool"? Just tried "c_fool" and still doesn't work

[red flower]

what's calculate_joker

cartomancer code:
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/599f32c1caeee6f17e64d849c36768435f77d418/src/jokers.lua#L4596

[scarlet imp]

calculate_joker was the name of the function that activates Cartomancer's ability, at least as far as I could tell. Modified the code from the git and it worked perfectly. Thanks

[red flower]

yeah the vanilla code and the smods code differ greatly in a lot of places

[scarlet imp]

alright I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the help. I'm new to modding this game lol

[wheat jewel]

What mod should i reference to help me make a joker that buffs rates of shop appearances of uncommon jokers

[red flower]

I don't know what mod does it but I think you need to change G.GAME.uncommon_mod

[wheat jewel]

tried to refrerence the cryptid mod's deck of equilibrium but it seems they use their own custom functions for that

[wheat jewel]

is there any documentation i can read to understand how shop rates work for balatro?

[red flower]

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

(it's the same for all weights)

[wheat jewel]

alright!

[red flower]

G.GAME.uncommon_mod is a multiplier to the base rate iirc

[wheat jewel]

so would i make a weight function within the joker and replace edition_rate with uncommon mod and multiply is by a value

[red flower]

no that part is just for editions

[wheat jewel]

ohh

[red flower]

you would modify it in add_to_deck and remove_from_deck

[wheat jewel]

imma look at how the hone voucher works and try to work from there

makes sense considering what my joker is intended to do

[elfin stratus]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[wheat jewel]

would i set the uncommon mod to an integer value to signify a buff in rate of appearance?

[tight notch]

bump

[red flower]

the game does base_rate * G.GAME.uncommon_mod iirc

[hybrid shadow]

ah shit i asked for the wrong thing

whats the case for when the played hand contains a pair

[daring fern]

You would do poll_edition(nil, nil, nil, true) I think.

[wheat jewel]

I see

[red flower]

next(context.poker_hands["Pair"])

[tight notch]

so would that guarantee an edition including negative?

[gusty iron]

how do i check a card's suit?

i dont wanna check if its a specific suit, i just want to get its suit

[daring fern]

It would include all editions.

[daring fern]

card.base.suit

[wheat jewel]

Kinda lost on what to do from here

[keen loom]

completed the extra tarot card

[tight notch]

omg is that shadow milk

[keen loom]

yep

[tight notch]

i was litterally just thinking about a shadow milk joker and how cool it would be

[wintry solar]

that W needs an extra pixel

[red flower]

that was just an example of that the game does, you want to do G.GAME.uncommon_mod = 2 to double it for example

[cursive sentinel]

or two pixels less

[tight notch]

pretty sure i'm doing this wrong

[keen loom]

how would i even add that? there's barely any space

[cursive sentinel]

oh no wait it's even pixels

[wintry solar]

1 pixel less could work too

[cursive sentinel]

maybe the ";" can be 1 pixel large

[red flower]

poll_edition returns an edition but you're not doing anything with it

[tight notch]

ah ok

[keen loom]

it's supposed to say of 😭

[wheat jewel]

like this?

[tight notch]

so how would i use it to force the edition on everything in the shop

[cursive sentinel]

im wondering now, if i wanted for example only for uncommon jokers to spawn in shop / boosters, would it be the same way, or would i need for a hook?

[cursive sentinel]

ouch

[wintry solar]

something like this

[cursive sentinel]

or setting all others to 0

[red flower]

base_rate doesn't exist as a global and new_rate should be card.ability.extra.new_rate

[cursive sentinel]

1st one works well

[tight notch]

also i wish i could draw this good

[red flower]

probably patches or hooks

[cursive sentinel]

alrighty thx

[wheat jewel]

So if i'd want to reset it would i need to find what the original base rate was and set it equal to that?

[red flower]

but maybe you can set everything to 0

i never tried

[wheat jewel]

like when selling the card

[gusty iron]

if not suit_table[card.base.suit] then
                print("inserting")
                table.insert(suit_table, card.base.suit)
                print(#suit_table)
                else
                print(card.base.suit)
                end

its saying that #suit_table is 0??

[red flower]

it's more like probabilities where you want to double it or halve it

[wheat jewel]

Gotcha

[wooden nexus]

Okay question, how do I take ownership of a challenge?

or at least add custom jokers to existing challenges?

[gusty iron]

wait i think i figured it out!!

[wheat jewel]

something like this probably based on what you said

makes sense

[keen loom]

oh, looks better now (also made the "of" more obvious)

[red flower]

the add to deck one should be a multiplication too

[wheat jewel]

got it

[wheat jewel]

G.GAME.uncommon_mod = G.GAME.uncommon_mod * card.ability.extra.new_rate

[tight notch]

bump

[wheat jewel]

this should work then

[keen loom]

now to think of an interesting tarot card mechanic

[cursive sentinel]

which script is the weight defined in?

[wintry solar]

I would maybe try something like this for the of too

[wooden nexus]

Still got nothing

[scarlet imp]

how does the game prevent Jokers from being sold if they are eternal? I have a Joker that gives +1 consumable slot and it shouldn't be able to be sold if selling it would overflow (having 3/2 consumables for example)

knowing how to prevent selling could fix that for me

[red flower]

ok i just tested setting uncommon_mod and rare_mod to 0 and only commons appear
you would need to do something like that for every rarity even custom if you want to leave only 1

[wind steppe]

what function would i hook to change something when a run starts?

[keen loom]

not sure if it looks better or not

[tight notch]

way better

[daring fern]

Game:start_run?

[wintry solar]

can you show it full art?

[cursive sentinel]

ah then doing it like this would be unlikely to work with other mods that set custom rarity

[red flower]

thats why i said you need to go through each

G.GAME[rarity_key:lower().."_mod"]

[cursive sentinel]

rarity_key:lower()?

[wintry solar]

I would maybe make each of the O and F one pixel taller, but I think it's pretty good like that

[cursive sentinel]

and i guess i'd need to store base values somewhere if it wasn't a hook

[tight notch]

bump 2: desperate boogaloo

[red flower]

you would need to patch create_card_for_shop probably

[tight notch]

how do I patch things? apologies for being braindead

[red flower]

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#patches

[gaunt thistle]

me jump scare

[primal robin]

[red flower]

you!!

[gaunt thistle]

you'll probably want a pattern patch, should be simple

[cursive sentinel]

what is rarity_key:lower() for?

[red flower]

you replace that for the key of each rarity in lowercase

[wintry solar]

huh, when looking at this it appears that playing cards in the shop cannot spawn with modded editions on

[cursive sentinel]

so smth like this? or i msunderstood it completely?

if rarity_key ~= "uncommon" then
  G.GAME[rarity_key:lower().."_mod"] = 0 
end

[wild escarp]

This code seems to have a strange interaction with hologram, where hologram only gains the mult for duplicated cards at the end of the round, and it only adds mult for the amount of cards copied instead of the amount of cards added to deck, can anyone figure it out?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.before then
        for i = 1, 2 do
            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
                    }))
                end
            end
        end
    end
    if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and 
    (context.destroy_card.seal or context.destroy_card.edition or next(SMODS.get_enhancements(context.destroy_card))) 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

[tight notch]

so how would i format a pattern patch to do that? never used patches before

[cursive sentinel]

although i have no clue on how to store the original values, through a hook and a global?

[red flower]

something like this

-- this is pseudocode do not use literally, i dont know what the actual names are
for rarity_key, v in pairs(SMODS.Rarities) do
  if rarity_key ~= "Uncommon" then
    G.GAME[rarity_key:lower().."_mod"] = 0 
  end
end

[meager pumice]

Hello im new to modding and I have a joker working fine but when an invisible joker tries to copy it i get a stack overflow. does anyone here have experience with this issue and know why its happening

[wind steppe]

send us the code

do you have other mods on?

[elfin stratus]

where can i find all the context.something?

[meager pumice]

i have talisman and debug on

ill grab the code one sec

[maiden phoenix]

car

[meager pumice]

is there a better way than just dropping a giant code block in discord

coudl i send a txt instead

[wind steppe]

you could probably paste the whole file

it shouldnt be that much code if its ur first joker tho

[meager pumice]

sounds good i just didnt want to paste too much and have it take too much space

[wheat jewel]

How do i edit the rate of rare and legendary jokers?

i keep getting errors at the line for rares in add_to_deck

[wind steppe]

legendary shouldn't matter they dont appear in the shop

[daring fern]

Legendary jokers don't have a rate?

[wind steppe]

no commas tho

thats the issue

[wheat jewel]

Wait they don't appear in the shop?

[tight notch]

reading the docs and smods patches i am still confused on what i do

[wheat jewel]

trib appeared in a shop once but i guess that was with the cryptid mod installed (not to deck of equilibrium)

[meager pumice]

that look good?

[keen totem]

ya

[wind steppe]

@meager pumice also do this for colors (helps debug)

[meager pumice]

sick alrihgt

[wind steppe]

is invis joker to the right of yours when you sell it?

[wheat jewel]

Wait so no commas at all?

[wind steppe]

try selling it to the left

[meager pumice]

yes but not hte immediate right. like there was a joker separating the two

ill try it to the left tho too

[wind steppe]

weird

[wheat jewel]

i'm still getting errors at the rate_mod line in add_to_deck

[wind steppe]

theres still a comma there

[meager pumice]

yeah still crashes on the left too

[wind steppe]

try ankh

[meager pumice]

when i have mods loaded the collection crashes on open. is there a way to give myself ankh without going to the collection

or is there a way to fix that crash

[wind steppe]

that shouldnt happen

without your mod does it crash?

[meager pumice]

yes

any mod

[wheat jewel]

Fixed that, also for legendaries, could i make it to where appearances of the soul in tarot packs could be buffed as well?

[tight notch]

would there be any other way to force editions without patches? i can't seem to figure out how to use them

[wind steppe]

reinstall steamodded and lovely

[wind steppe]

on what?

[meager pumice]

sounds good ill give that a shot

[wind steppe]

if youre creating the card then you dont need patches

[daring fern]

You loop over G.shop_jokers in update and give it an edition if it doesn't have one.

[tight notch]

so how do i loop over in update?

[wind steppe]

on reroll and on entering the shop

[meager pumice]

that fixed it thank you

ankh works

[tight notch]

ik there's a calculate function for rerolling but idk about one for entering the shop

[wheat jewel]

Does The Soul have a unique rate variable in the game that can be edited

[wind steppe]

i cant find one either

does anyone know any contexts for entering shop

[daring fern]

update = function (self, card, dt)
    if G.shop_jokers and G.shop_jokers.cards then
        for k, v in pairs(G.shop_jokers.cards) do
            if not v.edition then
                v:set_edition(poll_edition(nil, nil, nil, true))
            end
        end
    end
end
```?

[tight notch]

ty

my one braincell is using all of its processing power rn 😭

[wheat jewel]

is there any documentation or place i can see all variables for card appearances to know?

[tight notch]

would this work?

[wheat jewel]

bumping this

[daring fern]

I don't think update works with decks.

[tight notch]

is there an alternative?

[daring fern]

Hooking card:update and checking if the selected deck is that deck.

[tight notch]

what is hooking (my brain is mush atp)

[wind steppe]

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

[tight notch]

let me rephrase: how do I hook in smods?

[wind steppe]

that tells you basically everything

[tight notch]

alr

[wind steppe]

just put the function hook in main.lua and find the right function

[keen totem]

how do i create a playing card and add it to deck?

[wheat jewel]

Does anyone know if the rate for The Soul appearances can be edited with a variable?

Tried looking in the source code

[tawdry shale]

does anyone know how i can time sounds better? i wanna have a message saying "let's go gambling" from the joker but i'm not sure how to do that and the sounds overlap

[wheat jewel]

but i'm a bit lost

[meager pumice]

from the source code i think the 0.997 is the threshold

[tawdry shale]

whoops i accidentally updated something it looks like this

[wooden nexus]

So question: How do I add custom jokers to pre-existing challenges?

[wheat jewel]

Gotcha ok

[tight notch]

could anyone provide just like a basic example/pseudocode of hooking card:update? the guide helps just barely

[meager pumice]

this was from the common_events.lua file. idk if itll help much but maybe you could change it to a variable

[scarlet imp]

I'm trying to make a Joker that works the same way as the Observatory voucher and it almost works, but only procs once, not for each Planet card like the voucher does:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if self.debuff then return end
        if context.consumeable and context.other_consumable.ability.set == "Planet" and context.other_consumable.ability.consumeable.hand_type == context.scoring_name then
            return {
                x_mult = card.ability.Xmult,
                message_card = context.other_consumable
            }
        end
    end

[keen totem]

whats the area for cards that were played (including unscored cards)

[elfin stratus]

ive been stuck for more than an hour trying to figure out how to make sure the boosterpack you open came from the shop

[analog spoke]

so, uhm, some art-to/from-code questions, so, someone's making some art for me, involving transparency, and, issue is, the art is supposed to have, like, a sheen to it, you know? like seethru plastic, and uhmm, the sheen is building a shadow behind it, any tips here? (wasn't sure to ask in here or in fan-art, but something tells me the answer here is more code related lol)

[tight notch]

bump

[keen totem]

has to do with the basegames shadow shader

unless its fully transparent, full shadow

[analog spoke]

mhhh

[keen totem]

got it, its G.hand

wait

no

G.hand is your held cards

[cursive sentinel]

got smth that works, although i'm not sure as to how store the original rarity weight's value to return them when joker's remove_from_deck()

for rarity_key, v in pairs(SMODS.Rarities) do
    if rarity_key ~= "Uncommon" then
        G.GAME[rarity_key:lower().."_mod"] = 0 
    end
end

[elfin stratus]

now i know this doesnt work because by the time context.open_booster is triggered, G.STATE is no longer the shop

so idk what to try now

[red flower]

card.ability.extra.defaults[rarity_key] = G.GAME[rarity_key:lower().."_mod"]

something like this?

[cursive sentinel]

in the add_to_deck before setting it?

[tight notch]

jolly bump

[keen loom]

why is game not reading the json file for mod metadata?

[tight notch]

can you send it?

[red flower]

local card_update_ref = Card.update
function Card:update(dt)
    -- do stuff here
    card_update_ref(self, dt)
    -- or here
end

[wild escarp]

bump

[cursive sentinel]

works, thanks you a lot !

[keen totem]

(gonna revise the question) how do i get all of the cards that were played including non scoring cards

because G.play is just for scoring cards

[marble flint]

do you want context.full_hand

[meager pumice]

bumping this. I don't get why but invis joker stack overflows the game when copying this joker. My other custom jokers work fine with invis but not this one

[keen totem]

would context.cardarea == context.full_hand work like == G.play but including nonscoring?

[wild escarp]

Just context.full_hand

[marble flint]

oh for individual contexts it's a bit different

iirc you check if it's a string (maybe 'unscore'? idr offhand)

[keen totem]

im trying to context.destroy_card every played card

[marble flint]

you might need to enable an optional smods feature

[wintry solar]

it's context.cardarea == 'unscored'

[keen totem]

does that include scored cards too or just unscored cards?

i could just do an or tho

[wintry solar]

just unscored

[oblique pond]

you might want to iterate through the consumable slots to do it for each

[nova epoch]

im trying to make a card that adds mult when theres both a King and Jack in a played hand, i was thinking of looking at the code for flower pot as a refrence but i realized that flowerpot checks for suits, is there anything similar to what im trying to do that i can look at for reference?

[wild escarp]

You could look at trib.

[keen totem]

yea use trib

[nova epoch]

alright thanks

[wild escarp]

Anyone have experience with card copying?

[stoic fulcrum]

is there an easy way to make a joker check if a specific joker is in your deck?

[marble flint]

SMODS.find_card

[nova epoch]

ok so i found the code for trib

that seems to be what i need

but i want it so that It needs both a king and jack

if i change that 'or' to an 'and' would it still work

[red flower]

eremel merged all my PRs so i felt empty https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/717

is a tarot card that creates three random negative consumables too OP?

[keen totem]

consumables or tarots

consumables? yes it can make soul and spectrals in general

Still struggling with this joker. Hologram now gains the right amount of xmult, but it still counts up for every single increment, and only adds the xmult to itself after the scoring.

tarots? thats just emperor but better

planets? thats one of them but better

spectrals? too OP

[vast bough]

does anyone know where i can find the documentation on functions like add_to_deck() and G.deck:emplace()

[red flower]

for the vanilla functions there's none

for the add_to_deck in smods, here: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Joker
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Consumable

[vast bough]

yeah i saw that but is that really it? is it just a case where i have to play around and look at examples to get a better understanding of it

[keen loom]

ig three negative tarots might be the way

[wild escarp]

Anyone know why this only give hologram the xmult after joker scoring?

[red flower]

yes

[keen totem]

is it possible to do an event and a message at the same exact time

in a return of a calc

[red flower]

probably

smods just merged the pr to add event options to returns

[vast bough]

i said screw it and instead of spending any longer trying to get my specific use case to work i just botched it together. was trying to simply make a joker that creates a playing card on scoring triggers (card scored, hand played) but the method i used to create playing cards before was not working because it uses draw calls. instead, the code now just copies jokers like dna in a way, creating a temp card, copying that card and therefore adding to deck, then deleting the temp card. I LOVE SMODS

there should be an easier way to make playing cards honestly

im spoiled by SMODS.add_card

[keen totem]

yeah it makes no sense to me tbh

i think i may have overcomplicateed it a bit haha because i couldnt get that to work properly so i took the long way around

question, i'm trying to make a joker that gains xmult whenever a specific tarot is played, and im a bit confused about the definition of "card"

if "card" is referring to the played tarot then

how do i refer to my joker

do i need to make a variable

[keen totem]

how do i find this pr

[red flower]

no yeah add_card doesn't work with playing cards so adding them is complicated

Keku accidentally merged a bunch of prs together

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/659

[vast bough]

oh i see i see that makes sense then. well now that that is done, i will move onto editing playing cards and destroying playing cards which hopefully should be easier

[red flower]

card is the joker

[willow nimbus]

i see

[keen totem]

do you know how to use the event options

[willow nimbus]

in that case how would i refer to the consumable getting used

[red flower]

the consumable is context.consumeable

[willow nimbus]

ohhh alright

perfect, thanks

[red flower]

yeah but i kinda do it by trial and error

[keen loom]

why is this part crashing my game?

    key = 'tarot24',
    set = 'Tarot'
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Carnival of Shadows'
        text = 
        'Creates 3 random {V:1}Negative{}'
        '{C:attention}Tarot{} cards.'
    },
}```

[red flower]

you're missing a comma

[keen loom]

where?

[keen totem]

isnt the text a table

[red flower]

wait sorry, you're missing a comma and brackets around the text

[keen totem]

actually 2 commas

[red flower]

oh yeah

[keen totem]

since the text's bracket doesnt even exist to have a comma after

is there a way to make an event happen literally as the last event did

i know that theres something there 1 sec

[keen loom]

oh, the text part needs brackets too

[keen totem]

trigger & delay

can those do what i need

[red flower]

i dont know exactly but i would mess with blockeable and trigger = "immediate"
