oh, mine was gonna pseudorandom about 100 dif abilities and tie them to quotes asdkglasdjg

[wind steppe]

thats a better idea for sure

i dont watch markiplier so idk many markiplier quotes

[tall apex]

like one i have in mind is it makes your mult x0 and he says "NO, STOP, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, WHAT ARE YOU DOING"

[tall apex]

valid :3

[keen loom]

tf, why does it display small text like that? i might put that part inside a background instead

[wind steppe]

woe x0 mult upon ye

[snow vale]

not working?

[tall apex]

real asf

[red flower]

can i see the code? it might be the bug im fixing

[tall apex]

-10 mult, destroys joker to the right of him "Well, that's a problem. Not my fault I did everything I could. Also why are you still here?"

[carmine burrow]

remove context.jokermain check and for loop

[keen loom]

    key = 'wokepv',
    rarity = "cr_awake",
    atlas = 'cookies1',
    pos = { x = 2, y = 1 },
    soul_pos = { x = 1, y = 2 },
    loc_txt = {
        name = {'{s:0.6}Compassionate{} Pure Vanilla Cookie'},
        text = {
        'Test',
        },
    },
}```

[tall apex]

i lLOVE RNG

[snow vale]

wait why, i wanna retrigger every playing card

[maiden phoenix]

Why does using copy_card give the default back art?

[wind steppe]

[snow vale]

then how do i do it?

[red flower]

it's small because you made it small lol

[carmine burrow]

it calls calculate with context.repetition after each card scores

[snow vale]

oh

[tall apex]

i want everything to be a gamble or tradeoff in my mod high key, i want my jokers to feel like a genies wish and you get fucked over 90% of the time >:3

cryptid'nt

[carmine burrow]

you might want to check that it's calling calculate for played cards and not held cards but i dont remember the context for that

[keen loom]

that wasn't the problem, i was talking about how it's weirdly spaced out and not centered

[wind steppe]

you have to make a deck where only your jokers spawn with more joker slots

gambling all day every day

[tall apex]

WAIT YOURE SO REAL FOR THAT

[red flower]

thats just how it is, vanilla doesnt really use that so it was never made to look good

[tall apex]

hence im making an enhancement that is indestinguishable from normal enhancements, and when destroyed or played, you IMMEDIATELY lose the run.

[maiden phoenix]

Oh you had that issue too N? #⚙・modding-general message

[wind steppe]

better idea: on destruction create 2 copies of itself so it gets harder and harder to not play

[wintry solar]

Why do you need a util function to put a singular number in two functions?

[red flower]

yes, the fix is already merged into smods :3

[maiden phoenix]

Ah ok I'll update SMODS 👍

[tall apex]

i return.,,

[wheat jewel]

How can i make a joker halve the blind size?

[tall apex]

my card enhancement name might be to silly for server it got me myooted . w.

[wind steppe]

well now im curious

[keen loom]

be silly in moderation

[tall apex]

i dm'd it to yuou .w.

[red flower]

that works but you also need to update G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)

[faint yacht]

I'd wrap such in an event, anyway.
-# Taken from DriveSpace.

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
    G.GAME.blind.chips = math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips/2)
    G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)
    G.FUNCS.blind_chip_UI_scale(G.hand_text_area.blind_chips)
    G.HUD_blind:recalculate()
    G.hand_text_area.blind_chips:juice_up()
return true end }))

[keen loom]

i was trying to add a bg color to part of the joker's name

    key = 'wokepv',
    rarity = "cr_awake",
    atlas = 'cookies1',
    pos = { x = 2, y = 1 },
    soul_pos = { x = 1, y = 2 },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                colours = { HEX("#F4B844") }
            }
        }
    end,
    loc_txt = {
        name = '{B:1}Compassionate{} Pure Vanilla Cookie',
        text = {
        'Test',
        },
    },
}```

[red flower]

no #

[keen loom]

ok yeah, totally the guide's fault for mentioning it like that

[red flower]

yeah its fixed in a pr but it hasnt been merged

[misty gorge]

I GOT IT TO REMOVE MORE CARDS AGAIN :D

I don't know how that fixed the problem but it did!!!

I'm so glad rn

[tall apex]

hm,, ok so upgrading an edition to the next might be tricky

[red flower]

because start_dissolve removes in an event, so you dont have the problem Myst said

[wind steppe]

i know cryptid does that? idk if cryptid does their own thing for that though

[misty gorge]

Huh, okay

Maybe I'll try the old method again but with start_dissolve

[tall apex]

they do, i tried also looking at DebugPlus to see if i could source code from when you do ctrl + q

the cryptid stuff is a lot more complicated though because the rework tag makes a new copy in the shop

[wind steppe]

looks like it just loops through editions and then adds one to the edition index when the original edition is found

[tall apex]

ohh, and the edition index is what defines the edition?

goodness i gotta make an index now

[tawdry shale]

does anyone know how to substract one dollar from the total each time a joker triggers?

[spice wadi]

any joker or your joker

forgot to reply properly, @tawdry shale

if its your joker, you can just add dollars = -1 to the return

[faint yacht]

What about just removing everything but 3s? Could modify what I did with just Aces.

[spice wadi]

i personally use a variable for the cost

[wheat jewel]

If i want jacks to be considered also kings and queens, do i do this?

[tall apex]

this might be for another day this makin my head spin XwX;

[wheat jewel]

i'm referencing the maximum joker from the cryptid mod

[faint yacht]

...being considered as both is... way more difficult.

[wheat jewel]

ahhh i see

i guess making them considered as also just kings would make more sense

[misty gorge]

Oh my god, it was the remove function, thanks

Now I know not to use that

[spice wadi]

1 card being multiple ranks is not currently supported by SMODS because of determining straights

[wheat jewel]

i see

Eh no biggie

just gonna make them considered kings

[spice wadi]

i dont think youre supposed to do hooks inside the joker but i may be wrong

[stiff quiver]

whats wrong with this code? i want to retrigger a single random card a random amount of times but instead it retriggers a random amount of cards a random amount of times

    if not context.end_of_round and context.repetition then
      sel_card = 0
      for _, playing_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        sel_card = sel_card+1
        end
      selected_card = pseudorandom("seed",1,sel_card)
      if context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[selected_card] then
        return {repetitions = pseudorandom("seed", 1, 10)}
         
      end
    end
  end ,

[wheat jewel]

i'm just referncing code from cryptid

[daring fern]

init is cryptid specific.

[wheat jewel]

ohhhh

i see

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/250a12884466c5247bd862872e7d5c09ea255fd8/togastuff.lua#L327-L350 are more general.

[keen loom]

can you add rarities to consumables?

[zenith sage]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.blueprint then
        local debuffed = {}
        for k, v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
            if v:is_face() then
                debuffed[#debuffed+1] = v
                v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_gold, nil, true)
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        v:juice_up()
                        return true
                    end
                }))
            end
        end
        if #debuffed > 0 then
            return {
                message = localize('k_gold'),
                colour = G.C.MONEY,
                card = self
            }
        end
  end

its saying context.full_hand is a bad argument for ipairs() but thats exactly how its done in midas, any ideas?

[red flower]

you're missing a context check

context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.blueprint is too general

[spice wadi]

midas mask is for scoring_hand and yeah what he said

i think you need main_eval or joker_main or smth i forgot what its caused

[red flower]

joker_main

[spice wadi]

i needa actually learn the difference

[red flower]

joker_main is the main joker timing
main_eval is just the equivalent to (not context.individual and not context.repetition)

[spice wadi]

interesting, thanks

[zenith sage]

if context.joker_main then
    if context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.blueprint then

like so?

[red flower]

you dont need context.cardarea == G.jokers but yes that works

[zenith sage]

that makes sense, thank you

[wheat jewel]

How do set all jacks to be considered kings?

[red flower]

not very easily

do you want them to be considered both?

[wheat jewel]

I would want that but i''ve been told that ain't super easy to do

[red flower]

yeah its not

if you only want to change one for the other you need to hook get_id

[daring fern]

local cgi_ref = Card.get_id
function Card:get_id()
    local id = cgi_ref(self)
    if conditions and id == 11 then
        id = 13
    end
    return id
end

[spice wadi]

and do this outside the joker right

[midnight coyote]

whats the ingame function for adding small and big blinds

i need to override it so i can put in my own

[daring fern]

Try looking at Ortalab

[midnight coyote]

okay thanks

[zenith sage]

  if v:is_face() then
      debuffed[#debuffed+1] = v
      v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_gold, nil, true)
      G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
          func = function()
              v:juice_up()
              return true
          end
      }))
  end

im not sure why v:juice_up() is causing a crash here

[midnight coyote]

ah its a lovely patch

[daring fern]

What is v?

[wheat jewel]

So you can't have Jacks considered as both itself and Kings

or is there a solution but it's very convoluted to try and implement

[daring fern]

You could just patch Hit the Road, Baron and Triboulet to use a custom is_id function.

[wheat jewel]

Hmmm that could work but how can i put that in the code of my mod without completely modifying the game itself

Is there a way to interact with base game jokers through mod code?

[zenith sage]

a card within full_hand

        if context.joker_main and not context.blueprint then
            local debuffed = {}
            for k, v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
                if v:is_face() then
                    debuffed[#debuffed+1] = v
                    v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_gold, nil, true)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            v:juice_up()
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end
            end
            if #debuffed > 0 then
                return {
                    message = localize('k_gold'),
                    colour = G.C.MONEY,
                    card = self
                }
            end
      end

for k, v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do

[daring fern]

You could take ownership of it.

[wheat jewel]

Ownership??

[daring fern]

Yes.

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

But you could also patch it.

[wheat jewel]

Don’t know what that means coding wise but i’ll try to search for answers

Ohhhh

[tranquil gull]

https://github.com/balt-dev/SMODSTemplate/tree/trunk
made a mod template and decided to release it

[wheat jewel]

Oh that is incredibly helpful for those beginning with balala mods

goated

[placid star]

can the loc file of a mod contain and if statement

[daring fern]

No.

[placid star]

im trying to change the desc of lucky cards depending on the presence of a joker, should i just take ownership instead?

[daring fern]

Yes, you would take ownership of the loc_vars though.

[placid star]

why..?

[daring fern]

Because if the joker is present you can redirect the localization to somewhere else.

[warm flume]

I'm trying to make an enhancement that, while held in hand, makes played scoring cards give x mult. It seems that calculate works differently on enhancements than it does on jokers, because I didn't get anywhere with my attempts.
It seems like calculate only runs when the enhanced card itself is evaluated? How would I work around that?

[vale plinth]

Does anyone know how to ajust the editions of shop jokers and jokers out of boosters?

[daring fern]

You would have to either have a hidden joker or patch the game to call context.individual in a function.

[rough jolt]

my cards are returning to hand like I want here but they flip over when returning, anyone know whats causing this? I've changed the stay_flipped and dir arguments but doesnt seem to do anything

[warm flume]

I signed up to something real complicated, didn't I ._.
I think I'll push this one back and do my other enhancements first then, thanks :3

[daring fern]

Is this supposed to be a card that returns to hand after scoring?

[rough jolt]

yeah

general functionality seems to work but the cards flip over when returning

[daring fern]

I think you would have to patch where the game tries to move the cards to discard.

[sonic cedar]

how do i run a check for if a joker has eternal

[daring fern]

if card.ability.eternal

[bold sleet]

yeah, that

[sonic cedar]

does that work in take_ownership

[bold sleet]

someome beat me to the race

explain

[daring fern]

Yes.

[rough jolt]

ill try that see what happens

[hushed field]

What's the use case you wanna check for eternal for?

[daring fern]

How does one change the base blind size?

[hushed field]

Ah, yeah. There's also SMODS.can_calculate() in case you wanna see if a card is destructible, which accounts for other mod features as well, but if you just wanna know whether it's eternal, this works!

[sonic cedar]

hooray!

[red flower]

SMODS.can_calculate() is to see if it's being destroyed

[hushed field]

Oh wait, oh wait, only if it is being destroyed, not whether it can be? I guess that makes sense. I'm sure this implies things for Kino, though, haha

[red flower]

yeah it checks if it's debuffed or if it's getting_sliced

[vale plinth]

SMODS.Back{
name = "Showman",
key = "showman",
pos = {x = 1, y = 3},
loc_txt = {
name ="Showman",
text={
"Start with a",
"{C:dark_edition}Negative{} {C:attention}Showman{}",
},
},
apply = function(self)
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
-- Create a Showman card with negative edition
if G.jokers then
local card = create_card("Joker", G.jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, "j_showman")
card:set_edition({negative = true}, true)
card:add_to_deck()
card:start_materialize()
G.jokers:emplace(card)
end

            return true
        end
    }))
end

}

When running this code there are no crashes only the joker doesnt create, anyone know why?

[red flower]

j_showman doesnt exist :3

[vale plinth]

oh.

[red flower]

j_ring_master

[daring fern]

Also you're returning true even when G.jokers doesn't exist.

[vale plinth]

my intelligence is unmatched

thank you so much

[vale plinth]

do i just remove the returning of true

[daring fern]

No, you put it in the if

[vale plinth]

that does make more sense

ty

[sonic cedar]

is this right

[vale plinth]

it still isnt working...

[daring fern]

Code?

[hexed heath]

why not go through the jokers card area and check if there's an eternal jimbo

[daring fern]

Try replacing all the add joker code with SMODS.add_card({key = "j_ring_master", edition = "e_negative"})?

[vale plinth]

this i made earlier and did work

[sonic cedar]

idk man i havent done a quip before 😭

[vale plinth]

ok

[hexed heath]

might be better to look for the eternal jimbo in the add_speech_bubble instead of taking ownership just to check its presence

[jolly prawn]

How would I go about making a blind decrease the number of scored chips each second? I've tried looking at how cryptid does something similar with "The Clock" but I just don't understand any of it.

[vale plinth]

nope

[vale plinth]

but this is the same and did work

[hexed heath]

you could set something to run on a timer with scheduling event that decreases the scored chips

[vale plinth]

it only has an extra for loop but that shouldnt matter right?

or whatever its called

[sonic cedar]

and how would i do that

[daring fern]

Try adding if not G.jokers then return false end at the start of the event.

[shrewd cobalt]

bump!

[hexed heath]

G.GAME.chips has the current scored chips

you can make an event with a delay to continuously decrease it

WIAT FUCK

[sonic cedar]

wrong one

[hexed heath]

thought you were someone else

hahaha

[sonic cedar]

[hexed heath]

for the eternal jimbo

[sonic cedar]

yes that one is me

[zenith sage]

it turns out the juice up crash was from another joker entirely, which also
crashes the game when its sold???

[hexed heath]

you could use SMODS.find_card to find all the jimbos

[vale plinth]

where do i see if its false

[tranquil gull]

thoughts?

[zenith sage]

                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
}

thats the full joker code, does anyone know why calling juice_up() on this (or selling it) would crash the game?

[tranquil gull]

anything below 1 is treated as 1

[jolly prawn]

how would i set a timer to work on a blind?

[sonic cedar]

so like this?

[north swallow]

can anyone tell me why this crashes when i try to apply the seal with the consumable?

[hexed heath]

you could create the repeating event in set_blind, which stops itself if the blind is defeated

[daring fern]

Use card:set_seal("modprefix_key")

[zenith sage]

i just sold another joker (the one with the code above) and it sold the joker ive been working on

[hexed heath]

SMODS.find_card returns a list, so you could go through the list to check if any of them are eternal

[zenith sage]

just straight up sold a second card

i have no idea anymore

[hexed heath]

you could set a flag or false, then go through the list with ipairs and set it to true if any jimbos are eternal

[north swallow]

what do i replace for that?

[sonic cedar]

your mod prefix
and the seal's key

[daring fern]

G.hand.highlighted[1].seal = "Syrup_seal"?

[north swallow]

no like

[north swallow]

i meant what function do i replace to use that

nvm

i misread it

[indigo mesa]

i want to make this joker enhance played cards with a modded enhancement, is this code ok?

            G.play[i]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["idk_china"], nil, true)
    end```

[daring fern]

No.

i doesn't exist.

[indigo mesa]

just G.play?

[north swallow]

now getting this

[daring fern]

No, it would be context.other_card

[indigo mesa]

okay, thanks :)

[daring fern]

It should be xmpl_whatsapp_seal

[north swallow]

oh oops

mb

[sonic cedar]

OKAY. NOW do i have it

[sage crater]

bump

[hexed heath]

looks good

wait

[sonic cedar]

hell y-

[hexed heath]

quotes around the j_joker

[sonic cedar]

oh phew

[hexed heath]

since it's a string key to put inside find_cards

[sonic cedar]

yeah i just forgot em

but the code itself is okay?

[sonic cedar]

generate_ui shenanigans if anything, but not entirely sure

[vale plinth]

i think the file was corrupt or something, i created a new file with the same code and it worked

i hate this

[sage crater]

ah ok, cool

[red flower]

return key in loc_vars to change the name to another localization key

vars wont really work as far as i know

[sage crater]

like this?

[red flower]

yes

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[sage crater]

neat. thanks!

[red flower]

it changes the description too

so you need to copy paste it

[north swallow]

ok so now it doesnt crash yet now the consumable literally doesnt do anything :(((

[jolly prawn]

How would I make a loop that works on the set_blind and doesn't freeze the game?

[hexed heath]

try blocking = false

[sage crater]

ok I don't think I understand lol
would I write smthn like

{
    key = "test",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "title",
        text = {"description 1", "description 2"}
    }
}

and then return key = "test"? And how would I be able to edit the title with this?

[jolly prawn]

right now the main problem is i know 2 loop types and they both wouldn't work in this scenario, i think i worded my last question wrong and it should've been more like: what type of loop should i use?

[sonic cedar]

mine isnt with variables but here's an example? (localization file)

[sage crater]

ah ok

[zenith sage]

how can i make a new flag for checking if a card has expired before, to achieve an effect like gros michel -> cavendish

for in_pool

[sage crater]

I would also like to know ^

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/5028b690726a9970f99a1f9db5a9114dcb79d0be/src/jokers.lua#L897

[sonic cedar]

both vanillaremade and smods example mod have this actua- yeah that

[red flower]

the smods one is more explained

[sage crater]

so looks like michel sets a flag to true, and cavendish checks if the flag is true before getting added to the pool

[tawdry shale]

i forgot to say before but thank u bc that fixed my problem

[sonic cedar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/d43316d97bc927f3de431dd84c0283d41e69761a/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua#L344

[zenith sage]

question is

does setting the flag to true create it, or does it need to be defined / initialized elsewhere

like can i just slap G.GAME.pool_flags.vremade_gros_michel_extinct = true into the code and be done with it

[red flower]

does setting the flag to true create it
correct

[zenith sage]

cool

[sage crater]

about the j_hpfx_trapezoid:

• Is that after an SMODS.Joker or anything?
• is that the key that a joker will use later on?
• do you need to add the j_hpfx because it's your mod tag? Or did you do that for categorization purposes?

[vale plinth]

how does one make a joker eternal?

[keen totem]

card:set_eternal(true)

(yes, theres a dedicated function for it, idk why)

[vale plinth]

lmao thx

imma test it

works, tysm

[keen totem]

you can set any other sticker with an actual function for stickers in general

but eternal in specific is easier

[sonic cedar]

about the j_hpfx_trapezoid:

• It's a localization file. This is just the text
• Yes, it's the key you switch from to the alt
• Both?

[sage crater]

thanks

[vale plinth]

ohhh so for perishable card:set_perishable(true) would not work?

i started with this today so im learning a lot

[keen totem]

maybe

i dont think it has one tho no

[red flower]

yeah all the vanilla ones do

[keen totem]

oh

[vale plinth]

oh they do

lol

but if i had a modded one how would i do it

[red flower]

well not pinned but that makes sense

[vale plinth]

yeah

[keen totem]

set_sticker is just for modded and if you want to use the vanilla ones with their actual names for some reason

[vale plinth]

set_sticker okay thanks

[sonic cedar]

to be more specific, localization files use full object keys

[sage crater]

ah, ok cool

yeah, I think I found the right wiki page to look at on the smods github page

[sonic cedar]

cool

[north swallow]

ok so im tryna make a consumable that applies a seal and if i do the first one the consumable doesnt do anything, and if i do the second one, it just crashes the game what do i do??

[sonic cedar]

what's your mod prefix

[snow vale]

if i make a higher shop rate for a consumable type, will it appear less or more?

[keen totem]

trying setting it to 99999999

if it doesnt show up every time, less

[snow vale]

nice iea

idea

[sonic cedar]

this is ok right like this wont break it and will actually pick between two i have

[hexed heath]

try it and see I guess

[sonic cedar]

aint that the truth

[snow vale]

ok it appears every time

[keen totem]

so higher then

[snow vale]

yeah

[vale plinth]

does anyone have an example deck that shows how to put a texture for ur deck

[snow vale]

will this make it rare? (ik it will)

[vale plinth]

the steammodded example decks dont have textures

[keen totem]

its just the same as jokers

[north swallow]

xmpl

[keen totem]

decks are just jokers with apply functions instead of a calculate

[vale plinth]

also with the 1x and 2x?

[keen totem]

yea?

thats just how atlases work

[vale plinth]

ok thx

[red flower]

not instead of

[keen totem]

as what youll generally be using

wild deck - all cards are wild cards

[snow vale]

i spent over 800 and didnt get a single quantum

it sure is hard

[keen totem]

just got onyx agate on this hit new deck

[keen totem]

ngl idk if this is OP or garbage

[vale plinth]

shouldnt this work?

[keen totem]

not where you put name

goes in a loc_txt

but aside from that, sure

[vale plinth]

uhh ignore that its also in loc_txt

[keen totem]

ok

its not atlas_pos

just pos

[vale plinth]

ah okay

testing

[placid star]

is there a table with all card areas?

[vale plinth]

this? it isnt working

[placid star]

do u have the asset in both the 1x and 2x folders?

[red flower]

not as far as I know but smods has some utility funcions for the joker areas iirc

why

[vale plinth]

yeah

[placid star]

i want a joker that fills all card areas with random cards of that type

[keen totem]

that sounds incredibly OP but go ahead

[placid star]

its of my custom rarity

this was my last special grade

[keen totem]

who is this for?

[red flower]

hmmm that seems like it would cause problems if you do all cardareas

[keen totem]

im curious now

[red flower]

like it would break my mod for one

[placid star]

wdym

[placid star]

fair point ill do it for my areas and vanilla

[keen totem]

are they all based on jjk characters

[placid star]

yheah

[keen totem]

and if so, who is that one

[placid star]

this is gonna be suguru

[vale plinth]

does it trigger both?

[red flower]

i think that makes more sense yeah

[placid star]

yup

[vale plinth]

oo cool

[sonic cedar]

try adding , nil, true after the string

[placid star]

@keen totem feel free to try out the mod wink wink

[keen totem]

do you have it posted in the modding channel?

[placid star]

#1358478527934103572

[placid star]

is there a table of all consumeable types?

[red flower]

SMODS.ConsumableTypes

no e

[sonic cedar]

un ed

[vale plinth]

anyone know why this doesnt work?

i made it pos and not atlas pos

but still doesnt do anything

also no crashes or anything

[sage crater]

Ji-Jimbo Kaisen

[placid star]

Jujutsu Jokers (#1358478527934103572 ) sounds better imo

[keen loom]

i haven't decided on the name for my own mod yet

[sonic cedar]

Do you have the example mod enabled

[keen loom]

someone already took the "Cookie Poker" name

[placid star]

bala run?

[vale plinth]

Nope

I just used the textures

[sage crater]

Nah :clueless:

[spice wadi]

does anyone know if theres an easy way to hook the functions used by jokers (eg calculate, add_to_deck)
like is there a different function that i can hook or do i have to loop through all the jokers and hook the functions that way

[sonic cedar]

What’s your folder structure

[placid star]

Nah, id win

[red flower]

yes, Card:calculate_joker and Card:add_to_deck

[spice wadi]

ah so it is calculate_joker

and how easy from that point would it be to get the mod calling that

[red flower]

well if we assume that the card calling it belongs to the mod then easy

[vale plinth]

Folder>lua file, assets>1x, 2x

And in 1x and 2x moddedvanilla.png

The bigger one in 2x

[sonic cedar]

is it lowercase

[vale plinth]

No

Is that the problem

[sonic cedar]

no

[spice wadi]

what is the syntax for that, is it a property of the card itself

sorry if these are stupid questions

[sonic cedar]

try changing to single quotes maybe

[spice wadi]

im considering adapting a feature im gonna write for my mod to instead be a library

[keen totem]

jujutsu jimbo

[vale plinth]

Alr

[zenith sage]

does anyone know why the line self.T.r = -0.2 within:

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
  func = function()
      play_sound('tarot1')
      self.T.r = -0.2
      self:juice_up(0.3, 0.4)
      self.states.drag.is = true
      self.children.center.pinch.x = true
      G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.3, blockable = false,
          func = function()
                  G.jokers:start_dissolve(self)
                  self:remove()
                  self = nil
              return true; end}))
      return true
  end
}))

might be causing a crash

[red flower]

self.config.center.mod.id

[zenith sage]

context is

if context.cardarea == G.jokers then
    if context.before and not context.blueprint then

[sonic cedar]

well what's the crash

[zenith sage]

let me get a log rq

[red flower]

change all the self for card

[keen totem]

yea

self is some special thing that i dont think has any use

[placid star]

yeah yeah just go play it lmao (i need feedback)

[keen totem]

(for you in a function atleast)

[zenith sage]

the crash

[zenith sage]

will do

[keen loom]

also, send only the first couple lines from the log next time. that's the only part describing the main problem

[sonic cedar]

so apparently something's wrong with my ipairs? do i change the _ to k

[spice wadi]

ty <3

actually i might be doing smth stupid so
the idea is to make some of the core functions of jokers and such be changed to run with a pcall
so if theres an error i can just put a dialog instead of crashing the game
is this a decent idea to put in a library?

also im getting this error

[frosty rampart]

vanilla cards/jokers don't have a "mod" defined in self.config.center, so you can't get mod.id
replace the plain print statement with this:

if self.config.center.mod then print(self.config.center.mod.id)
else print("vanilla") end

[spice wadi]

im so stupid thanks

i forgot that i was making this for vanilla cards too

[spice wadi]

i would like feedback on this because i dont wanna waste my time on a bad idea or smth that can be done more easily

i feel like it could be useful for playtesting purposes

[sage crater]

Someone should definitely make a spiderman mod with a card called J Jimbo Jameson

[ivory coral]

hello chat, im making a deck with a specific effect when defeating a boss blind, but checking for if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss then makes it trigger like 7 or 8 times at once, what check can i add to make sure it only triggers once instead?

[sonic cedar]

you could hook into Blind:defeat instead maybe

[keen loom]

is there a way to set specific colors so that i can later use it for text anywhere? (instead of defining them again and again)

[sonic cedar]

i did that to make an increment for a specific boss

[north swallow]

bump

[sonic cedar]

(that first line is just for initializing)

[sonic cedar]

did what i suggested work or no

[vale plinth]

i had accidently had the lua file a second time in my mods folder im so stupid

it works tho thanks so much

[sonic cedar]

oml 😭

[vale plinth]

we dont talk ab that

im just of higher intelligence

[sonic cedar]

sure

[north swallow]

nop

[sonic cedar]

i got nothing then 🥀

[north swallow]

yeah im kinda done-so

[scarlet imp]

is there a way I could increase the effects of other Jokers while a certain joker is held? Right now I have a bunch of statements like this in my calculate:

if not _joker.ability.mult == nil then
  _joker.ability.mult = _joker.ability.mult * card.ability.extra.multiplier
end

but it doesn't work
this is all being done during context.before btw

[red flower]

context.main_eval

[sonic cedar]

changed the v to vv like in the misc_functions, still crashes

so Im bumping this

[scarlet imp]

any ideas anyone?

[sonic cedar]

Wait Im stupid

Nvm Im stupider what did I do wrong

[sonic cedar]

doesn’t gift card do that but with sell value

[scarlet imp]

I think you're right, I'll look into that

thanks

[sonic cedar]

np!

[keen loom]

how would i use the color of my modded rarity in text?

[scarlet imp]

{C:<your-color-code>} maybe, but I've never used a custom color before tbh

[keen loom]

oh, i just need to use the key for my rarity

[paper zealot]

I think it's `{C:YourModPrefix_YourRarityKey}

[paper zealot]

I think it's {C:YourModPrefix_YourRarityKey}

[sonic cedar]

{C:colorname}

example: {C:IjiGray}

mod prefix isn’t required unless it was put in the earlier string

[scarlet imp]

is there a way to step-through the code while the game is running? would be really helpful

[red flower]

i wish

[sonic cedar]

god I wish

[scarlet imp]

damn

probably just printing out values then is the next best thing, right

[red flower]

yeah

[final hornet]

i'm trying to make a custom enhancement that has a chance to retrigger a played card when an adjacent card scores, but I'm struggling to get it to work. this is my best attempt at getting it to trigger (random chance not included), but I really have no idea what I'm doing which is evident by its lack of doing the thing

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring then
        local my_pos = nil
        for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand[1] do
            if context.scoring_hand[i] == card then my_pos = i; break end
        end
        if my_pos and (context.scoring_hand[my_pos+1] or context.scoring_hand[my_pos-1]) then 
            card.ability.repetitions = card.ability.repetitions + card.ability.extra.retriggers
            return {
                message = "Hit!",
                card = card
            }
        end
    end
end

can anyone help me with what i'm doing wrong and how to fix?

[sonic cedar]

reading code on mobile is hell N’ you have my utmost respect

ok well you already had that but now you have it twice

[scarlet imp]

can I print out the values in-game? like to the console?

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[placid star]

use print(value)

[scarlet imp]

I tried and they don't seem to show up, I guess that's a red flag already lol

[paper zealot]

Just double checked - for colours added by SMODS.Rarity, SMODS.Gradient, SMODS.ConsumableType and SMODS.Suit, it definitely requires the mod prefix.
{C:prefix_rarity} works, {C:rarity} doesn't.

[sonic cedar]

OH RARITY

IM SO SORRY 😭

yes rarity needs the prefix

[keen loom]

it's giving the wrong total value

[scarlet imp]

surround the numbers in the description with ##

the hashtags correspond to the argument in loc_vars you want to access, so instead of +4 do +#1#

and so on

as for the wrong total

make sure you're resetting its total mult addition when a card is removed if it is a cookie

also don't do 2 * #G.jokers.cards, make sure you use the card's ability
card.ability.extra.bonus * #G.jokers.cards or something like that, and put "bonus" in the Joker's extra config

[wintry swallow]

why is this happening

[sonic cedar]

check ur atlas key

and your atlas sizes

[keen loom]

it's crashing

[SMODS CookieRun "jokers/commons.lua"]:25: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'bonus' (a nil value)```

[sonic cedar]

because your bonus was returned as nil

what are you doing in the loc_vars

why are you multiplying by G.jokers or am I missing something

breeze is about to blow me out of the water

[keen loom]

trying to return the total value of joker after it adds +2 mult for each common cookie

[sonic cedar]

why not just do a for loop instead

[paper zealot]

DebugPlus can help a bit with this.
It provides an eval command for running code live, if you want to check the contents of a table or change a value, and you can even do eval dp.hovered to inspect the object currently hovered over with the mouse.
There's also watch lua, watch config_tab and watch center which allow you to make code changes to your files and see the results immediately (with some limitations)
https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/blob/master/docs/dev.md

[red flower]

you need to get another instance of the joker or restart a run

[sonic cedar]

Surely they started a new run

[keen loom]

the total is wrong again

[red flower]

you want it to be 14?

[sonic cedar]

abstract joker does this, just make sure to apply an additional rarity filter since abstract does all jokers

[wintry swallow]

figured it out. barely noticable capitalisation error in the atlas key

[sonic cedar]

[gusty iron]

so im making a mod with the partner mod, why is there <Jr ERROR>?

[keen loom]

isn't it supposed to be 12? (4 + (2*4))

[gusty iron]

wait

wrong image

[sonic cedar]

Gingerbrave is a common

There are 5 gingerbraves

[formal island]

im kinda dumb when it comes to coding could u send a text file of the example in this ss

😭

[keen loom]

i mean for each gingerbrave, not the total jokers

[sonic cedar]

?

Did you add the base mult into the addition

Right now it’s just the gainedmult

(2*5)

[keen loom]

ok, so like...
card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.bonus * (G.jokers and #G.jokers.cards or 0)

[sonic cedar]

try it lmk

you could definitely just do this with a for loop though

[keen loom]

ok, so looks like it's also counting itself for the mult bonus, and is counting any joker

[sonic cedar]

any joker period or any common

[keen loom]

any joker period

those are definitely not common jokers

[red flower]

it's from this
https://github.com/xssgm/Touhou-Balatro-texture-pack/blob/main/localization/default.lua

[sonic cedar]

Your rarity filter isn’t working then

[keen loom]

        extra = {
            mult = 4,
            bonus = 2,
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, (card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.bonus * (G.jokers and #G.jokers.cards  or 0)) } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.other_joker and (context.other_joker.config.center.rarity == "cr_common") then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult + ( card.ability.extra.bonus * #G.jokers.cards )
            }
        end
    end,```

[red flower]

you're not counting commons you're counting jokers

[rapid stag]

okay, so when taking ownership of a vanilla joker, how do i properly overwrite the calculate functionality? because when i specify a calculate function, it seems to do both that and its original behaviour

[lucid owl]

does anyone have any clue why a card is randomly crashing when hovered, with an issue about "colour" being nil? it's a crossmod consumable with paperback and thus uses its badges, but for some reason people are experiencing crashes that i can't replicate myself

not my crash log

[red flower]

it shouldn't unless the joker doesn't act in calculate_joker afaik

[sonic cedar]

does it use cal— yeah

[red flower]

:3

[sonic cedar]

ok but I’m just happy I knew that

Im LEARNING

[red flower]

I'm proud of you

[sonic cedar]

[lucid owl]

this crash makes zero sense lua SUCKS

[rapid stag]

it does, yes.

[red flower]

which is it

[rapid stag]

it's 8 ball

[red flower]

weird

[sonic cedar]

What are you trying to do

[rapid stag]

i am optionally making 8 ball use 9s instead, provided both the config option and the malverk texture are active

[sonic cedar]

either im blind or there's nothing about colour in here

[lucid owl]

yeah, which is why it's so insanely confusing to me

[red flower]

⑨

[sonic cedar]

is this a patch moment

[lucid owl]

i have zero clue 💔

[sonic cedar]

i meant cirno mb 😭

[lucid owl]

supposedly the crash still happened with only this mod and paperback installed

which makes it even more confusing

[lucid owl]

oops lol

[sonic cedar]

sounds like something with paperback

[formal island]

oh nice ty

[sonic cedar]

all good

[lucid owl]

that part's confusing too because it's perfectly normal for me

[wind steppe]

how would i get the sell value of a joker?

[lucid owl]

but several people have reported this crash, only with this card

[red flower]

joker.sell_cost

[sonic cedar]

joker.sell_cost

DAMN

[sonic cedar]

did you accidentally make a dependency somewhere

[lucid owl]

nope

[sonic cedar]

[rapid stag]

wait, so calculate() isn't exclusive?

[lucid owl]

i am sure!

only dependencies are steamodded and lovely

this card just doesn't show up whatsoever if paperback isn;t installed

fuck the line is "pretty sure"

[sonic cedar]

i mean isnt that a good thing since it's a paperback collab

[lucid owl]

yeah that's intended

[sonic cedar]

oh ok

[red flower]

did you try with paperback disabled?

[rapid stag]

oh i see, if calculate() doesn't return anything, it just continues throughout the rest of calculate_joker()

hm

[lucid owl]

admittedly it's less of a collab and just adding functionality on our part lol

[lucid owl]

not having paperback present at all makes the card not show up, which is intended

[red flower]

no i mean disabled specifically

[lucid owl]

what i'm trying to fix is this strange crash multiple people have reported

[lucid owl]

hmmm

[red flower]

also does your mod require a certain smods version?

[sonic cedar]

can you send the localization

[lucid owl]

card doesn't show up

[rapid stag]

wacky, but a simple fix for my issue

[lucid owl]

again intended

[lucid owl]

anything above 1.0.0~BETA-0312b

[sonic cedar]

what if you undid it to fix this issue rq

[lucid owl]

i think that was just an arbitrary version i picked

[red flower]

ok so it's the exact same as paperback that's not the issue lol

[sonic cedar]

i just pick the version im modding on

[lucid owl]

lol that's probably where i got it from ngl

[red flower]

sometimes you can get the mod disabled but not lovely patches that's why i asked

[lucid owl]

i'm too lazy to update that though + i don't want to haveto deal with people asking why a dependency crash happened lol

[sonic cedar]

darn
thought maybe a color was used in the desc

[lucid owl]

nope, originally i thought that too

[sonic cedar]

well the crash line is all about drawing the card (as in rendering, not as in picking up)

[lucid owl]

yeah, which is very weird because everyone has said it;s just from being hovered over

[sonic cedar]

the only time ive had that is when i fudged the description so i thought itd be that

maybe take out the attention color just to see?

or maybe it's the badge???????????

[lucid owl]

it's kinda hard to test for me unfortunately given i haven't ever experienced this crash

[sonic cedar]

oh right

[vagrant grail]

hi, im having problems, what this mean?

[lucid owl]

however my inability to replicate it has been corroborated

so i'm thinking it's not an issue on our part at all

[keen loom]

it's still counting itself and any joker regardless of rarity

        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.bonus * (G.jokers and #G.jokers.cards or 0) } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if context.other_joker and (context.other_joker.config.center.rarity == "cr_common") then
                return {
                    mult = card.ability.extra.mult + ( card.ability.extra.bonus * #G.jokers.cards )
                }
            end
        end
    end,```

[sonic cedar]

try adding your mod prefix to the rarity

In the context I mean

[keen loom]

um... where do i find mine?

[sonic cedar]

in your metadata file

[final hornet]

im new to modding and may be stupid but if you're already doing a for loop shouldn't you get rid of * #G.jokers.cards

correct me if im wrong

[red flower]

I will tell you what I read in the code and tell me if this is what you want:
Each Joker with rarity cr_common gives (mult) + (bonus) * amount of jokers you own

[final hornet]

yeah that would mean for each common joker it would give 5 times the bonus instead of the normal amount (assuming you own 5 jokers)
so 5 common jokers give 25x bonus

[sonic cedar]

the problem is it isn’t just doing common

[red flower]

oh it's the outer loop i think

[wintry basin]

I am really waiting for balatro Kai to release

[red flower]

I'm really waiting for JoyousSpring version 0.8 to release

[final hornet]

am i allowed to bump or re-ask a question i asked earlier

i posted it at a bad time and it got lost in other messages

so no one responded

[keen totem]

look up "bump" in this channel

[red flower]

yes

[keen totem]

its been said 776 times (like the word bump), you can bump your questions that got lost

[final hornet]

bumping this

[final hornet]

sorry, this is my first time asking a question here (i think)

[keen totem]

nah youre good

i was just curious and also wanted to have to see it as well

cause bump said been said alot

[final hornet]

this is what i'm currently trying to do

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring then
        local my_pos = nil
        for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand[1] do
            if context.scoring_hand[i] == card then my_pos = i; break end
        end
        if my_pos and (context.scoring_hand[my_pos+1] or context.scoring_hand[my_pos-1]) then 
            card.ability.repetitions = card.ability.repetitions + card.ability.extra.retriggers
            return {
                message = "Hit!",
                card = card
            }
        end
    end
end

this is my (failed) attempt to just get it to retrigger at all

[red flower]

im not sure how calculations with enhancements work honestly

[north swallow]

How would i make a joker do a certain calculate function if a certain seal is played on a card

?

[red flower]

does context.repetition work?

[final hornet]

how would i implement that? i'm still new to modding and dont understand everything yet

just next to the cardarea or somewhere else?

[red flower]

loop through context.scoring_hand and check if any card has card.seal == "sealkey"

[umbral zodiac]

some gameplay of minesweeper in balatro

i made the board larger because 5x5 is boring

[north swallow]

kk

[final hornet]

while i'm struggling to make a card retrigger people are out here making minesweeper...

that's insane

[umbral zodiac]

:3c

[red flower]

I don't know if it works but it would be like

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play  and [chance calc] then
    -- get the index of the card
    if context.other_card == context.scorimg_hand[index-1] or context.other_card == context.scorimg_hand[index+1] then
        return { repetitions = 1 }
    end
end

[umbral zodiac]

i'm just being silly

[sturdy compass]

bro what 😭

[umbral zodiac]

i put . i put minesweeper in a joker

i have no sprites atm but like i was really bored the past few days

[sturdy compass]

Some of y'all are insane istg

[keen loom]

is this error happening because of the extra tarot card i made?

[red flower]

sorry i was going to tell you before but completely forgot lol
you need to update steamodded

[rapid stag]

desperately trying to figure out why my red seal isn't retriggering my joker
@daring fern help

[final hornet]

it didnt do nothing, so progress!

[rapid stag]

...well, what if i just try returning an empty table

[red flower]

did you get the index or did you copy that part literally

[final hornet]

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
    local my_pos = nil
    for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand[1] do
        if context.scoring_hand[i] == card then my_pos = i; break end
    end
    if context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[index-1] or context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[index+1] then
        return {
            repetitions = 1
        }
    end
end

[red flower]

replace index for my_pos then

[final hornet]

._. i dum

[keen loom]

anyone tell why is this crash happening?

[tall jewel]

aight so i wanna effectively have an alternative 5 of a kind and uh,, only the first card scores?

SMODS.PokerHand {
    key = "Polycule",
    -- above_hand = 'Flush Five',
    mult = 12,
    chips = 160,

    l_chips = 8,
    example = {
        { 'S_Q',                true, enhancement  = "m_hime_lesbian" },
        { 'D_Q',                true, enhancement  = "m_hime_lesbian" },
        { 'H_Q',                true, enhancement  = "m_hime_lesbian" },
        { 'C_Q',                 true, enhancement  = "m_hime_lesbian" },
        { 'H_Q',                true, enhancement  = "m_hime_lesbian" },
    },
    evaluate = function (parts, hand)
        if #hand < 5 then return {} end
        local scored_cards = {}
        for i = 1, #hand do
            local _card = hand[i]
            print(_card.ability.name)
            if _card.ability.name == "m_hime_lesbian" then
                scored_cards[#scored_cards+1] = _card
            end
        end
        if #scored_cards >= 5 then
            return scored_cards
        end
        return {}
    end,
}```

anyone know why that would be?

it properly recognizes the hand when 5 of them are played but

[red flower]

return { scored_cards }

[tall jewel]

am i stupid

[red flower]

it needs to be a list of lists

[tall jewel]

thats kinda stupid tbh

why not just a list

[red flower]

because its all combinations of the hand

[placid silo]

skill issue

[final hornet]

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then

ahhhh

in your case you can only have one but for smaller hands you can have more

isee

SMODS.Joker{ key = 'doctor', loc_txt= { name = 'Doctor Whatsapp', text = {"Cada carta con un sello de whatsap", "Se activa {C:attention}una{} vez mas",} }, atlas = 'doctor', rarity = 1, cost = 4, pools = { ["sahur"] = true }, unlocked = true, discovered = true, blueprint_compat = true, eternal_compat = false, perishable_compat = false, pos = {x=0, y= 0}, calculate = function(self,card,context) if context.scoring_hand and card.seal == 'xmpl_whatsap' then return{ repetitions = 1 } end end, }
can someone tell me why this doesnt retrigger a card when it has a whatsap seal?

[red flower]

for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do

[keen loom]

is this error happening because of my custom extra tarot?

[solid mesa]

@red flower thx

[red flower]

1. You need to check for context.repetition
2. You are checking if the joker has the seal, you need to do a for loop on context.scoring_hand

[north swallow]

thanks, what does a for loop look like?

[final hornet]

ok, it no longer crashes! but the card still won't retrigger D:

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/5028b690726a9970f99a1f9db5a9114dcb79d0be/src/jokers.lua#L1087

[red flower]

can you do a print in the return to see if it reaches there?

[rapid stag]

is context.main_eval concurrent with context.retrigger_joker?

[red flower]

i think so

[keen loom]

can anyone please help?

[final hornet]

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
    print("Context good")
    local index = nil
    for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
        print("Checking "..i)
        if context.scoring_hand[i] == card then
            print("Found index")
            index = i;
            break
        end
    end
    print("Before if")
    if context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[index-1] or context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[index+1] then
        print("Context good 2, electric boogaloo")
        return {
            repetitions = 1
        }
    end
end

reaches if statement, fails it

[red flower]

ok that's good it means the repetition works but the logic is wrong

[sonic cedar]

i fixed it im just stupid
(i didnt have brackets around the localization)

[red flower]

oh wait i read the logic in reverse

what this does is retrigger the two adjacent cards

[final hornet]

a

...

[rapid stag]

ok so returning an empty table fixes the red seal not retriggering

the problem now seems to be the fucking time machine thunk seems to have programmed into the game??? what is happening???????

why is what's programmed
blueprint copy of joker calculate -> again retrigger notice -> retriggered blueprint -> normal joker calculate -> again retrigger notice -> retriggered joker
yet what clearly happens here is
blueprint copy of joker calculate -> retriggered blueprint -> again retrigger notice -> normal joker calculate -> retriggered joker -> again retrigger notice
this doesn't make any sense??????????????????????????????

[red flower]

or wait is that what you want

i dont understand the wording on the card

[red flower]

i think this is god punishing you from putting seals on a joker

[quartz ravine]

What does your tarot do? It looks like something has modified the pool of cards

[final hornet]

if a card next to the nuclear card scores -> retrigger nuclear card twice

[red flower]

oh ok that's a bit more complex logic

can you check if the other thing works? if it does i can write a mock up for that

[final hornet]

the code does not retrigger the other cards

[red flower]

damn

[final hornet]

:(

[sullen fern]

is that madow shilk

[wind steppe]

why doesnt my message work

[keen loom]

btw, the crash is happening after i switched to the newer metadata system

[wind steppe]

it just says error

[keen loom]

and i can't find any solutions to that crash

so i rolled back to the old metadata system

[sullen fern]

madow tsuki

[rapid stag]

bump

...i'd say it's event manager shenanigans, but i've done a few of those, especially in weirder ways than this and had no issues like this -this is the first time i've run into the order of operations disordering itself like this since i got red seals working

[keen loom]

what does it even mean btw?

[wind steppe]

why doesn't my message work?

                return {
                    message = localize({type = "variable", key = "para_money_minus", vars = {money_minus}}),
                    colour = G.C.RED
                }

[keen loom]

please, i've been stuck on this error for minutes and i can't find a fix for it

[bleak crane]

it looks like you have an extra set of ()

[wind steppe]

where

[bleak crane]

message = localize{type = "variable", key = "para_money_minus", vars = {money_minus}}

[rapid stag]

...how do i suppress the repetition message?

[wind steppe]

still just says ERROR

[red flower]

this works

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card == card then
    local index = nil
    for i = 1, #context.full_hand do
        if context.full_hand[i] == card then
            index = i;
            break
        end
    end
    if (context.full_hand[index - 1] and SMODS.in_scoring(context.full_hand[index - 1], context.scoring_hand)) or
        (context.full_hand[index + 1] and SMODS.in_scoring(context.full_hand[index + 1], context.scoring_hand)) then
        return {
            repetitions = 2
        }
    end
end

[final hornet]

IT WORKS!

thank you so much!!!

is there a way to make it work multiple times though?

i was hoping that it could be triggered by red seals and other nuclear cards (with infinite loops causing the explosion)

[red flower]

you can't really make it act in two different timings without patches I don't think but you can add as many repetitions as you like

oh and yeah i dont think you can repeat repetitions

[upper onyx]

how do you get the number of chips and mult before they are multiplied together, and also modify those values?

[final hornet]

oh...

[rapid stag]

bump.

[wind steppe]

                return {
                    message = localize{type = "variable", key = "para_money_minus", vars = {money_minus}},
                    colour = G.C.RED
                }

why doesn't this show a message? it just says ERROR

[final hornet]

would there be a way to calculate how many times its neighbors score ahead of time? if not, what are patches and would that be reasonable, or would it be too difficult as im not experienced with modding yet

[keen loom]

anyone please help on how i could fix this error?

[wind steppe]

show us the whole error

[bleak crane]

i wanna make custom consumables (not spectral or tarot cards)

SMODS.ConsumableType {
    key = 'kk_plugins',
    collection_rows = { 0, 0 }, -- what does this mean?
    primary_colour = G.C.SET.White, -- where is this used?
    secondary_colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Black -- where is this used?
}

does this look correct for defining the type & can i have my questions written in the code answered?

[red flower]

not really, you can calculate if the neighbors score but i dont think you can get how many retriggers within calculate

i mean, I wouldn't even know where to patch
but you can look at the lovely github for a guide on patches

[red flower]

collection_rows is how many rows and columns the consumable has in the collection

the rest idk

[wind steppe]

show us lines 899 and 952 of main.lua

[keen loom]

??? this mod doesn't have a main.lua

[wind steppe]

ok i have no idea what the issue is then

wtf is your main file called though if not main.lua

why doesn't this show a message? it just says ERROR

custom message i have in my localization file

[solid mesa]

oh, and money_minus is valid?

[rapid stag]

why not use SMODS.signed_dollars()

[keen loom]

should i just roll back to the old metadata system? this crash doesn't happen when it uses the old method, but then i can't use mod prefix

[wind steppe]

i didnt know that was a thing

how do i do that

[red flower]

variable type needs to be in v_dictionary

it's a pretty simple function, i showed it's code here when i reported an issue with it not returning the correct value for 0

does remove_default_message not work?

[rapid stag]

oh right, that's a thing. where would i put that, in the same table that defines the repetition?

[red flower]

yes

[rapid stag]

is it G.C.FILTER or G.C.ATTENTION

[red flower]

filter

[wind steppe]

both work i think

[rapid stag]

...wait no, what

okay, my issue isn't just that one joker. it's global. for some reason, retriggers for me just broke globally. it does the retrigger and then the again message after.

[red flower]

uhh what smods version do you have

i think that broke at some point recently

[rapid stag]

506a

[tall jewel]

well balatro multiplayer crashes with my mod sometimes

[keen loom]

ok, i finally found the root cause of the crashes, it probably has to do with my rarities

[wintry basin]

please help me

[keen loom]

how does pools work in SMODS.Rarity?

[scarlet imp]

I have this code that applies a multiplier effect to most vanilla jokers that give Mult effects. As you can see I have a case to handle Jokers with specific effects, such as Shoot the Moon, which I've been testing with. All other Jokers, such as Jimbo, which I also test with, are handled by the general case. Jimbo works properly in that his Mult gets modified by the Joker and then applies the modified amount, and his description changes accordingly. Shoot the Moon's description changes, but no matter what each Queen only gives +13 Mult when held in hand. Any ideas on why that might be happening?

btw I'm going to copy the above code into the context.after block to undo the change after calculation, just need to get the code working first

even stranger, Baron works perfectly lol

[wind steppe]

where can i find the keys for vanilla jokers?

[scarlet imp]

game.lua in the game's source code, or the key field in VanillaRemade

[formal island]

or the localization files

i think

[wintry basin]

Someone please do a antonblast suit skin
hearts because of red
anton annie = king
Brawl Tall Maul Small Busters = Queen
satan = Joker

[formal island]

sounds like a cool idea but idk anything about antonblast

[sage crater]

just a little strong

[wind steppe]

it's perfect

[bleak crane]

why does this say error?

[sage crater]

how do you check if the player has a joker already?
I want to create hard synergies >:]

[sonic cedar]

is the base game joker atlas just Jokers

[sage crater]

if you don't specify an atlas and type out a pos it'll default to the joker atlas

[scarlet imp]

no atlas required for base game, just use pos as you would be for the Jokers.png base game file

[sonic cedar]

ok cool

is there a way to check if any joker was triggered? (not inside of a joker)

like could i use this to set a variable to true or does post_trigger always iterate regardless of possibility

[solid mesa]

ehhh i dont know nothing like that, only boredom

1 in 2 to retrigger jokers

[sonic cedar]

ok but this is for a true-false condition

[solid mesa]

uh im wrong

[solid mesa]

yea i think it, tbh i dont know xd

[sonic cedar]

"a joker was triggered? set the var to true, otherwise keep it false"

[solid mesa]

i never see something like that, sorry

[sonic cedar]

i can do that easily within a joker, but i want to do it in the main file so it's universal

[keen loom]

got a couple problems. the joker is supposed to give +4 mult, and +2 mult for each common cookie, but

• the total amount in description is wrong
• the joker also counts itself again, giving +6 mult when alone

[tall jewel]

just a little

[solid mesa]

I'm trying to remember something like that, but most of the true or false are when "sell joker, use consumable, upgrade hand, buy joker"

[sage crater]

bump

[keen loom]

how would i make it so it doesn't count itself while checking for common jokers?

[sage crater]

however you find all common jokers - #SMODS.find_card("j_modid_cardname")

[sage crater]

wait a minute, I literally already wrote code for this

[solid mesa]

🧠

[sonic cedar]

~= card

well unless youre not using a for loop actually

[solid mesa]

in lua you use ~= like != ?

[sage crater]

yes

[solid mesa]

thx

[keen loom]

where do i put this?

[sonic cedar]

can i see your for loop rq

[keen loom]

        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.bonus * ((G.jokers and #G.jokers.cards or 0)) } }

                    }
            end
        end
    end```

[sonic cedar]

just take out this bit actually

if you dont want it to count itself

it doesnt but the mult was added to the bonus value before (i thought you wanted it to count itself since it's also a common)

[keen loom]

won't this just display the wrong total then?

[bleak crane]

where and how do i define the name for my custom consumable type?

[sonic cedar]

you need a text table

[bleak crane]

like this?

[sonic cedar]

yeah try that

[bleak crane]

i did it did nothing

[sonic cedar]

wait this is consumabletype

[bleak crane]

ygeah

[sage crater]

how do I check if a condition is met only while a game is going on?
currently a joker is turning negative in my collection because another joker is also on the same page as that joker, which I guess means the game counts that as filling the condition, but I want it to only happen while a game is happening

current code

[bleak crane]

:D

[sonic cedar]

sorry for delay
try these out
modify as needed to suit you ofc

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return{
    vars = {
      card.ability.extra.mult, 
      card.ability.extra.mult * (G.jokers and #G.jokers.cards or 0) 
    }}
end,

if context.joker_main then
    local count = 0
    for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
        if G.jokers.cards[i] ~= self and 
        G.jokers.cards[i].ability.set == 'Joker' then 
          count = count + 1 
        end
    end
    return {
        mult = card.ability.extra.mult * #G.jokers.cards
    }
end

[wintry basin]

Please help me!

[rapid stag]

tried current and it's still broken

i should try a bunch of normal jokers too

[sonic cedar]

armed and DANGEROUS

[sage crater]

bump

[rapid stag]

...wtf

now it's fine for everything except this specific custom joker

[thorn furnace]

How might one go about checking whether or not the played hand is the most played hand

[rapid stag]

i don't understand

[sonic cedar]

why not just check if it's in the joker area

[sage crater]

how do

is it gonna be like if SMODS.find_card("id") in G.GAME.joker_area or smthn?

[sonic cedar]

probably maybe something

[sage crater]

so true

[sturdy compass]

if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then...

As shrimple as that

[sonic cedar]

try a pairs with G.GAME.hands
something like

local playhand = (G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played or 0)
for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
  if k = context.scoring_name and v.played >= playhand and v.visible then
  --do whatever it is ig
  end
end

i think?

[thorn furnace]

okii

[sonic cedar]

this is pretty much just obelisk check but inversed

in which obelisk checks if it isnt the most played hand

[thorn furnace]

was just refactoring my code and the way i went about it was absurdly messy
Good to know theres an easier way

[sonic cedar]

lmk how it goes!

[thorn furnace]

yeee

[rapid stag]

IT'S SPECIFICALLY CONTEXT.BEFORE

WHY

that;s so random

[sonic cedar]

well context.before is prescoring

[rapid stag]

that's no reason it should be breaking retriggers

[sonic cedar]

but it's still in the scoring loop

[sonic cedar]

are you not using the retrigger context

[rapid stag]

yes - the actual function of retriggers is fine. but it's putting the message after the retrigger specifically during context.before for whatever reason

[sonic cedar]

did you put it in an event

[rapid stag]

put what in an event

[sonic cedar]

the message

[rapid stag]

i'm not putting a message anywhere. it's return { repetitions = 1, card = self }. this is red seal functionality.

[sonic cedar]

wait this is red seal?

[rapid stag]

yep.

[stiff quiver]

how do put small text in a cards description?

[sonic cedar]

i dont think you need card = self

[sonic cedar]

{s:"any number less than 1"}

[stiff quiver]

ok thanks!

[sage crater]

so this joker has been crashing my game for a while now and I've kinda just been avoiding fixing it because I can't figure it out. Anyone got ideas?

It crashes when I enter a new blind, which leads me to assume its effect of adding a fish-enhanced playing card to your deck isn't working properly

[tawdry shale]

if i play a high card the mult goes up to x1.4 mult, but when the hand is scored it does x1.3 mult, is there any way to fix that?

[stiff quiver]

and how do i format color?

[sage crater]

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

[keen loom]

i don't think G.jokers.cards[i] ~= self is doing anything, it's still counting itself

[rapid stag]

seems like it. but my issue still persists

[stiff quiver]

thanks!

[sonic cedar]

try changing to G.playing_card iirc

[sage crater]

oh 🤦‍♂️

[sturdy compass]

You're setting the Xmult value inside of an event. Typically events should only be used for animations, as they tend to run when the Joker visually triggers (which is after the score calculation actually happens). Looking closer you realistically don't even need to be using events here outside of maybe the sounds, but that can be set in your return table instead which is honestly the better solution imo

[sonic cedar]

what do you mean by counting itself exactly

[sonic cedar]

guh

[rapid stag]

can anyone else confirm if this is happening for them or is it just me because i can't imagine this is something i did i don't recall touching anything that would specifically break retriggers in context.before

[sage crater]

didn't work :/
i might be instantiating the playign card wrong or smthn. I'll read the wiki and see if I can glean anything new

[sonic cedar]

whats in ur locvars

[rapid stag]

for... what?
for the jokers in particular that i'm experiencing this on?

the only thing i can think of that is in common between these two that i've tested is that i return a .key value,

but i can't see how this has anything to do with the fact that the retrigger message is in the wrong order specifically from context.before

if you're talking about the seal, there isn't one. this isn't a custom seal or anything, this is via a calculate_seal hook

which right now, looks like this

[sonic cedar]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh well no wonder im confused i had no idea this was a h-jesus christ

[rapid stag]

and i don't see anything in here that specifically reorders the message to AFTER the retrigger

for a specific context

[sonic cedar]

what's suppressRetriggerMessage

(gee i wonder)

[rapid stag]

something i implemented to return from a joker specifically to deal with this because i thought it was happening for a specific joker

until i realised this was just randomly happening based on the context

and now i'm completely lost as to why this is happening at all

because it shouldn't

[strange wasp]

Hi, I know I have been messaging a lot, but I need to know, if anyone uses VSC, how do you make it so iVSC recognizes the documentation for SMODS?

[keen loom]

the gingerbrave card gives +4 mult, and +2 mult from each common. if it's the only card present, it should give +4 mult, not +6

[rapid stag]

can i make a card do something in context.before? i want to see if this is replicable across card red seals

this way i could more confidently rule anything that i've done out

[sturdy compass]

Open VSC through your entire mods folder

[rapid stag]

try ~= card

[sonic cedar]

this or set up the lsp definitions

[sonic cedar]

youre cooking actually why did i say self

[sturdy compass]

the classic blunder

[sonic cedar]

been on a roll with knowing stuff today though you shouldve seen me earlier

[sturdy compass]

toma being john knowledge?

[sonic cedar]

[strange wasp]

Can you please elaborate on what I need to do. I am pretty new as to making mods

This will be my first mod that I make.

[sonic cedar]

im late but here anyway

[sturdy compass]

I be faster

[sonic cedar]

in my defense i was gonna open obs and record it

[sturdy compass]

fair enough

Funny how we had very similar thoughts to just send some sort of media tho

[sage crater]

is checking how many of a certain playing card in your deck you have still using SMODS.find_card()?

and how do you look for a card with a specific enhancement?

[sage crater]

congrats!

[sonic cedar]

to answer the latter with steel

[sage crater]

ah, neat

thanks

[keen loom]

it works for the description total, but it's not working for the effect itself

[rapid stag]

what was your effect code again

[keen loom]

+4 mult from itself and +2 mult from each common card

[rapid stag]

as in, your actual implementation

[keen loom]

ah

[sage crater]

game crashed. Is this written correctly?

[sonic cedar]

i forgot to give crucial info im fumbling

the ss i sent goes in locvars as well

[sage crater]

oic

fantastic

[keen loom]

        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if context.other_joker and (context.other_joker.config.center.rarity == "CR_common") then
                if G.jokers.cards[i] ~= card then
                    return {
                        mult = card.ability.extra.bonus
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end```

[sonic cedar]

make sure to set your var to 0 there as well

[sage crater]

wait, loc_vars?

what if I need it for mult

[sage crater]

oh, as well

[rapid stag]

and neither self nor card works there to stop it from ignoring itself?

[sonic cedar]

same code

[sage crater]

thanks for the clarification

[sonic cedar]

np

[thorn furnace]

If I just wanted to change the description thingy of a Joker do I just do card.loc_txt.text = { "so and so" }

[sonic cedar]

wdym change

[thorn furnace]

I have a Joker that has an interaction with another Joker and I wanted the description to change when that Joker is present

[sonic cedar]

generate_ui shenanigans. you'll also need two descs

[thorn furnace]

j_hpfx_trapezoid?

[sonic cedar]

it's one of my jokers

[thorn furnace]

o

[sonic cedar]

example of what i mean. the description will change once the card is added to my jokers

[thorn furnace]

do I just put this before the calculate function?

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[thorn furnace]

okii
thank u

[sonic cedar]

only do the add_to_deck thing if you want it to trigger how mine does

[stiff quiver]

how do i make it so something happens on discard? i use this but didnt work ```lua if context.pre_discard and context.cardarea == G.play then

[sonic cedar]

context.discard

[stiff quiver]

i also used that but it was triggering the effect once per discarded card

[glass scaffold]

context.cardarea == G.play is for when a card is played.

[keen loom]

nope. you can see it's also counting itself for +2 mult

[sonic cedar]

how do you know it's not the four other gingerbraves dawg 😭

[rapid stag]

hm.

[keen loom]

pretty obvious from first one. first one gives +4 mult, then +2 mult from the same card before counting from others

[sonic cedar]

try taking out that second if statement

maybe it's cancelling out something
