[hasty mist]

are there any examples of usage of blueprint_effect anywhere?

[sonic cedar]

does blueprint work

[hasty mist]

this is absolutely perfect where did you find this?

[sturdy compass]

VanillaRemade probably

[sonic cedar]

@red flower 's VanillaRemade
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/599f32c1caeee6f17e64d849c36768435f77d418/src/jokers.lua#L3903

[sturdy compass]

I was trying to pull that up myself lol

[hasty mist]

tysm

[keen loom]

ok, i think i got the solution?

[sonic cedar]

real?

[sonic cedar]

he's so goated

[sturdy compass]

Speaking of VR I just sent a PR for challenges for it today

[sturdy compass]

I’m credited as a co-author 😭

[keen loom]

if context.other_joker ~= card

[sonic cedar]

no idea if that will work but try it

[sage crater]

how do you set up a function in an enhancement to change a variable?

[keen loom]

already tried, it's working

[sonic cedar]

oh well W

[manic rune]

enhancement has calculate, dunno what you mean tho

[sonic cedar]

wait check with other rarities too

BEPIS

[manic rune]

hii

[thorn furnace]

what's the new key here?

[manic rune]

key pointing to the new description in localization file

[thorn furnace]

o

[sonic cedar]

see how in the localization i did hpfx_trapezoid_alt

[thorn furnace]

yea

[sage crater]

like I'm trying to create a new function called setLevel so I can control the chip value when giving the enhancement to a card

[sonic cedar]

in that instance, thats the new key

[manic rune]

hook to set_ability, probably

[thorn furnace]

ohh okii

[sage crater]

rn I have this

[sage crater]

oh neat
is there a wiki page on hooks?

[manic rune]

oh

is this only for an enhancement that ur making, or all enhancements?

[hasty mist]

i love code optimization

[sage crater]

an enhancement I'm making

[sonic cedar]

oh nvm then

[sonic cedar]

dude

[hasty mist]

holy fuck this used to be so bloated

[sonic cedar]

what the peak

i lied what is wrong with you

[hasty mist]

blame mathisfun

[gilded forge]

Hi, does anyone happen to have the assets for the playable cards? I searched the example mods and didn't find anything.

[hasty mist]

the before image is code mostly copied from old blueprint

[keen loom]

seems to work fine

[hasty mist]

which was coded before blueprint_effect was a thing

[scarlet imp]

all Balatro assets and source code can be easily accessed using a file archiving tool

[manic rune]

i think you will want to check set_ability, i havent tried making a new function in centers before 🤔

[scarlet imp]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGbfT9ZuR1U

[sage crater]

I can't find anything about hooks on the wiki, but I probably just checked the wrong area or smthn

[manic rune]

oh no, you dont need hooks

[sage crater]

ah ok

[manic rune]

you only need them if you want to use setLevel with all enhancements

[sage crater]

got it

[tawdry shale]

i tried this but now the mult value isn't updating

[manic rune]

put samehand out of events

[gilded forge]

Thanks, it's my first time making mods of this style and I'm also terrible at English.

[strange wasp]

I have put my mods folder in vsc. But it's still underlines some smods documentation

[sonic cedar]

oooOOOoooo you wanna set up a luarc json so baaad oooOOOooOOooo

[sage crater]

what's the difference between object.thing and object:thing

[burnt quartz]

Hi, I'm new trying to do a mod. Can someone tell me How I debug my mod?
I mean, I made a Joker mod, Should I beggin a New game until get my Joker? I don't think so, right?

[manic rune]

debugplus

[sage crater]

will the chips = math.floor(pseudorandom("fish") * 10), line work?

[strange wasp]

Also, whenever I set up a new code document at pets it as a .txt
Is that just how it is supposed to be or is there a different way

[sonic cedar]

colons call functions with the object as the leading argument

[burnt quartz]

object.thing is a property and object::thing is a class basically

[manic rune]

what are you trying to do here

[sage crater]

set a random value for chips from 1 to 10

or 0 to 10. Whatever it ends up coming out as lol

[manic rune]

pseudorandom("fish", 1, 10)

use this instead

oh, 0 to 10

yeah that

[sage crater]

actually it should be 1,10 since I remembered a mechanic that's coming later

[manic rune]

it returns a whole number from 0 to 10

[strange wasp]

Gaet debugplus.

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus

Once you're in Balatro press the tab button.

[manic rune]

its hold actually, but yeah

[burnt quartz]

I gonna try, ty

[hasty mist]

is there any way to target two jokers at once with blueprint_effect

[strange wasp]

My bad.

[sonic cedar]

[manic rune]

use SMODS.calculate_effect(return_table, card) instead of using return

[thorn furnace]

i think i goofed

[sage crater]

happens

[sonic cedar]

i did that the first time

send code

[thorn furnace]

oki

[hasty mist]

sorry, how exactly?

[burnt quartz]

Works pretty nice, ty xd

[manic rune]

SMODS.blueprint_effect returns a table of effects, see it as return_table as an example

you want to put that in SMODS.calculate_effect

[thorn furnace]

key = 'stand_starPlatinum',
    j_jojo_starPlatinum = {
        name = 'Star Platinum',
        text = {
            "{C:mult}+#1# {}Mult when played hand is the same as most played hand",
            "{C:inactive}This Stand appears to have more potential hidden deep within...{}"
        }
    },
    j_jojo_starPlatinum_theWorld = {
        name = 'Star Platinum : The World',
        text = {
            "{C:mult}+#1# {}Mult when played hand is the same as most played hand",
            "{C:inactive}\"So, The World is the same type of Stand as Star Platinum...\"{}"
        }
    },
    
    config = {extra = {mult = 12, time_chips = 0, time_mult = 0, new_key = "j_jojo_stand_starPlatinum_theWorld"}},
    
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.time_chips, card.ability.extra.time_mult, card.ability.extra.new_key}}
    end,

-- [...]

generate_ui = function(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)
        full_UI_table.name = localize {type = 'name', set = "Joker", key = card.ability and card.ability.extra.new_key or "j_jojo_starPlatinum", nodes = {} }
        SMODS.Center.generate_ui(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)
    end,
    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        card.ability.extra.new_key = "j_jojo_stand_starPlatinum_theWorld"
    end,

meow

[keen loom]

ok, new problem. the game crashes if i view the card in collection when outside the game

        local count = 0
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if (G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.rarity == "CR_common") and (G.jokers.cards[i] ~= card) then
                count = count + 1
            end
        end
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.mult + (card.ability.extra.bonus * count) } }
    end,```

[manic rune]

G.jokers doesn't exist outside a run

[sonic cedar]

where is this

[thorn furnace]

wdym

[sonic cedar]

you gotta put the localization stuff in localization,,

[thorn furnace]

i thought u said put the stuff behind the calculate function :<

[burnt quartz]

How I can add the text (Currently <count> mult) ?

[sonic cedar]

yeah the generate ui stuff
the descriptions themselves are still localizations

[thorn furnace]

o

so i put them in loc_txt?

[tawdry shale]

i might be stupid but it's still not updating

[keen loom]

ok, added an if condition for that

[shut crater]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata#loc_vars

[sonic cedar]

if you're doing dynamic descriptions, it's better to do a localization file
example

[thorn furnace]

o

[sonic cedar]

which will go in a localization folder

[thorn furnace]

i might need to rewrite my metadata for that one

[shut crater]

Shouldn't, metadata is separate

[sonic cedar]

it is in fact separate

[thorn furnace]

o i thought u wouldve needed to link the file

[shut crater]

Not if it's in the right place

[sonic cedar]

metadata is autoloaded, so is localization if it's in the folder

[shut crater]

Thus ^

[placid star]

just curious can you take ownership then use alternate loc keys depending on a check?

[sonic cedar]

probably. i havent done it myself so feel free to try

[placid star]

how do you use it?

[thorn furnace]

its interesting seeing how different games handle this kinda stuff

[sonic cedar]

take_ownership?

or the

dynamic desc

[placid star]

nah i mean having alt descs

[sonic cedar]

got you

[scarlet imp]

inside of loc_vars, the order you put arguments in can tell the game what to display in the description.
so Vampire's loc_vars looks like this:

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  return {
    vars = {
      card.ability.extra.mult_gain,
      card.ability.extra.Xmult
    }
  }
end

or something similar, and the description is written like this:

loc_txt = {
  name = "Vampire",
  text = {
    "This Joker gains {X:red,C:white}X##1#{} Mult",
    "per scoring {C:attention}Enhanced card{} played,",
    "removes card {C:attention}Enhancement",
    "{C:inactive}(Currently {}{X:red,C:white}X#2#{}{C:inactive} Mult)"
  }
}

[placid star]

ahh I haven't played around with generate ui yet

[scarlet imp]

if context.setting_blind and not context.blueprint and context.blind_boss then
    local value = psuedorandom("flies")
    if value < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
        return {
            func = function()
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                            func = function()
                                G.GAME.blind:disable()
                                play_sound("timpani")
                                delay(0.4)
                                return true
                            end
                        }))
                        SMODS.calculate_effect({ message = localize("ph_boss_disabled")}, card)
                        return true
                    end
                }))
            end
        }
    end
end

trying to disable boss blinds like this but it doesn't work, even with tons of copies of Oops

[sonic cedar]

example with trapezoid, which will change the desc when you get the joker
you call the new_key whenever you want it to change the desc to the other (as seen in add_to_deck)

[shut crater]

Pro tip, just put or true in your probability check when testing

[placid star]

ahh

[scarlet imp]

that's some tech

[scarlet imp]

boss doesn't get disabled. pretty sure the game isn't even reaching that if statement

[burnt quartz]

inside of loc_vars, the order you put

[sonic cedar]

run some print checks

[shut crater]

So probably your context check is wrong?

[shut crater]

But yes do this

[scarlet imp]

yeah I think so, adding a print statement after the context check never gets reached

[sonic cedar]

e before u

you spelled pseudo wrong

[scarlet imp]

bruh

thanks lmao

[wheat jewel]

tryna understand and make the jimball animation code work for a joker spritesheet but it keeps stretching some frames and doesn't loop through the whole thing even when changing values around

[scarlet imp]

still though, the pseudo line is never even being reached

[sonic cedar]

you also did it in reverse i think lmao

[scarlet imp]

if I obtain the card mid-blind it works, so that's not the code I have wrong

[sonic cedar]

oh well nvm then

wait wdym works

[scarlet imp]

the boss blind gets disabled if I obtain the joker mid-blind

I have an add_to_deck that works the same as the calculate, and it works there

[sonic cedar]

maybe you're just unlucky

try setting the probability to max

[scarlet imp]

I have the or true, the line just isn't being reached smh

[sonic cedar]

oh yeah the or true lmao

i have mine in reverse and it works

(top line and if statement)

[scarlet imp]

I stole your tag btw

[shut crater]

Can you try replacing context.blind_boss with G.GAME.blind.boss

[scarlet imp]

yeah I'll try that

[sonic cedar]

if that doesnt work try swapping them

[shut crater]

There's no reason I can think of that swapping the order would cause it to be evaluated differently

[sonic cedar]

me neither

but it worked

[shut crater]

But the probability code isn't where the error is, because the probability code isn't being reached

[sonic cedar]

why isnt my vsc loading

ok phew

[scarlet imp]

@sonic cedar isaac enjoyer?

[sonic cedar]

[scarlet imp]

w

[sonic cedar]

how do you fumble twice

[scarlet imp]

shut up lol

[sonic cedar]

you need nitro pal

[scarlet imp]

I never use emotes

ahhhh

don't got that

[sonic cedar]

i could tell

[scarlet imp]

you gonna get Mewgenics when that comes out

[sonic cedar]

ofc

[scarlet imp]

this worked, thanks

[sonic cedar]

oh wait you're working with probability duh

[tranquil gull]

i don't have a grasp for the balance of this joker

the root mean square is sqrt((a^2 + b^2)/2)

[scarlet imp]

bro that's insane

blueprint compatible?

[tranquil gull]

oh it shouldn't be

[sonic cedar]

now how would that work

[scarlet imp]

but it is right

[scarlet imp]

do it again lmao

[sonic cedar]

[solid mesa]

stacks?

[tranquil gull]

no

[solid mesa]

:c

[scarlet imp]

no fun

[tranquil gull]

the RMS is a type of average

[sonic cedar]

why are people trying to stack averages

[lavish lake]

Dude who uses the Balatro font to code you should use a proper code font like Jetbrains Mono which is way more readable

[scarlet imp]

@sonic cedar I'm making an Isaac mod for the game

[tranquil gull]

RMS(90, 3) is 63, for example

[solid mesa]

I'm interested

[strange wasp]

I finally figured out how to get things started, but whenever I close VSC and reopen it. It puts any file as a txt. And afterwards I can't continue to code in lua or json.

[sonic cedar]

you dont say

[scarlet imp]

brooo

[scarlet imp]

https://github.com/AlexM-CS/The-Balatro-of-Isaac
this is what I got so far, started yesterday

[strange wasp]

That looks 🔥

[lavish lake]

Seals On Everything guy pointed up at my message... bro that was ragebait

[zenith sage]

does G.GAME.round_resets.free_rerolls exist or does adding to G.GAME.current_round.free_rerolls actually give one per round

[placid star]

so this should work, no?

[solid mesa]

☝️🥸

[scarlet imp]

shi it might be private visibility

[solid mesa]

XDDDD

[sonic cedar]

let's find out 👅

[placid star]

dont get me excited

[tall wharf]

bruh

[placid star]

fuck

[sonic cedar]

hi aiko!!

im developing

[sonic cedar]

oh hey there it is
send your localization

[tall wharf]

what is this 😭

[sonic cedar]

my eyes

[lavish lake]

Alright I think I'm gonna return to developing mods but I don't know where to start even though I know lua, the basics of modding... but the only thing that is holding me back is the severely limited steamodded wiki

[scarlet imp]

fixed visibility issue

[sonic cedar]

can you fix mine

[daring fern]

Why aren't you just returning key in loc_vars?

[placid star]

huh

[sonic cedar]

where's your alt description 😭

[sonic cedar]

theyre doing dynamic

[solid mesa]

deam thats awesome, but tf spoonbender will do?

[scarlet imp]

shhhhhhh

[placid star]

that is my alt

[tall wharf]

i don't understand why people use the m6x11 font to code

[scarlet imp]

we'll cross that bridge when we get to it

[placid star]

thematic

[solid mesa]

"redirects the score to the boss"

[sonic cedar]

i play to have fun

[sonic cedar]

so what uh isnt the alt

[tall wharf]

i think it looks ass for coding purposes

[daring fern]

You could have something like ```lua
if conditions then
return {key = self.key .. "_alt"}
end

[scarlet imp]

"25% of chips scored will carry over to the next boss blind, resets on beating boss blind"

[placid star]

the default, for now tho i just want to get this to work

[solid mesa]

fire

[placid star]

and this would go into a generate_ui?

[thorn furnace]

True
monospace ftw

[scarlet imp]

spoon bender isn't even the worst of it

[tall wharf]

also literally rigged sticker

[daring fern]

No, this would go in loc_vars

[placid star]

oh i didnt know you could return a loc key in loc_vars

[solid mesa]

i love to play you mod, but i dont have a pc now

[scarlet imp]

I mean this one is obviously super unfinished, I haven't even bug tested most of the jokers yet

but my Deckception one is finished

[solid mesa]

add greedier

[sonic cedar]

the default????

[solid mesa]

:v

[placid star]

yeah! im changing lucky cards

[scarlet imp]

new balatro mode goes crazy

[thorn furnace]

Just curious but
How exactly does the generate_ui stuff work
I can't get the name/text change to actually work right and the documentation feels less than it should be

[solid mesa]

dont be nice to have to play 6 boss blinds in the order you want to advance from "ante"?

[placid star]

lmao

[scarlet imp]

most balanced Cryptid Joker:

[placid star]

woah woah

this isnt a cryptid add on

[scarlet imp]

I know just making a joke

[sonic cedar]

full_UI_table.name = localize { type = 'name', set = "Joker", key = card.ability and card.ability.extra.new_key or "j_hpfx_bard", nodes = {} }

type = what you're focusing on, in this case the name of it
set = self explanatory
key = your card's ability along with the new key, or the default of the non-alternate key
nodes aren't needed here

[placid star]

thats not even the closest thing to the most broken card in my mod

[thorn furnace]

if i wanted to change the description text box as well do i just replace 'name' with 'text'

[daring fern]

Is it possible to change a blinds blind size while not in the blind?

[placid star]

hows this?

[sonic cedar]

change the description within the alt key iirc (in the localization ofc)

[scarlet imp]

definition of "number go up, brain feel good"

its great

[thorn furnace]

o
the thing I've noticed is happening is it's taking the name of the alt and the description of the normal one

[sonic cedar]

oh well in that case that's probably more of a take_ownership thing

[placid star]

yeah i did that instead

[scarlet imp]

how rare are these jokers?

[placid star]

special grade? pretty rare

[scarlet imp]

I need them in Ante 1 shop for $4

[sonic cedar]

that's cause the descriptions have to match when done like this, then you change the desc through the loc_vars

[placid star]

lmaooo (theres a deck where u start with them) #1358478527934103572

[thorn furnace]

whuh

[sonic cedar]

if you wanna do like a whole diff description though try @daring fern 's method

[thorn furnace]

I mean the name doesn't even really have to change
The description was the main thing

[sonic cedar]

see the #2# at the end there

[thorn furnace]

yea

[sonic cedar]

corresponds to this value i have in loc_vars

which gives it the ...? when the card is added

[scarlet imp]

any way I could replicate the ability of The Flint in a Joker?

[sonic cedar]

[thorn furnace]

what exactly does the "and" on the left contribute

[scarlet imp]

base chips and mult get modified

[sonic cedar]

im coming for you

[thorn furnace]

in context.modify_hand, modify mult and hand_chips directly

[scarlet imp]

if card.area is nil the conditional check stops

[sonic cedar]

what have you done

[daring fern]

How does one make the blinds update what they are supposed to be?

[sonic cedar]

what

[scarlet imp]

I only need the chips modification:

name = "The Inner Eye",
text = {
    "Retrigger 3 random",
    "scored cards, base chips",
    "{C:attention}halved",
    "{s:0.8}{C:inactive}\"Triple shot\""
}

[thorn furnace]

i tried everything for like 12 hours that was the only thing that worked for me ;-;
I ended up with this

[placid star]

G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)

[scarlet imp]

even if its not as balanced I want the Jokers to feel the same as their isaac counterparts yknow

[thorn furnace]

this is one of the languages of all time

[daring fern]

No, I want the blind to change.

[daring fern]

First image is what it is supposed to be second image is what it is:

[thorn furnace]

What would that method be

[sonic cedar]

#💻・modding-dev message

[thorn furnace]

o that's it?

huh

[sonic cedar]

bumping this btw

companion message

[thorn furnace]

I'm pretty sure post_trigger doesn't iterate if no jokers iterate? but if it happens just once then you can just ignore that

because I believe it also happens when a joker is retriggered

[tall wharf]

pretty sure that's a nil check

[daring fern]

Yes, but it does not get triggered for the joker that is retriggering.

[thorn furnace]

I mean you can ignore it as in like
do some like

if somerandomboolean then
  somerandomboolean = false
else
  -- do all the code and stuff

[thorn furnace]

o

[sonic cedar]

so does that mean if i run it in the main file and set a variable to true if it's triggered that'll work

[tall wharf]

❓

[thorn furnace]

wha

the first iteration it sets the boolean to false
and then the second and subsequent iterations it's still false so it runs the code

[daring fern]

‎

[sonic cedar]

before the obligatory "what are you trying to do" question comes
tracker for if you beat an ante without triggering a joker (yes you have to have one)

[sonic cedar]

i mean if the clock can do it

[plain gazelle]

(new to balatro modding, aiming to create a normal joker mod)

can someone tell me what do 1x and 2x folders contain?
in a random mod I downloaded they contain multiple pngs with joker textures, but in example mod they contain one png with a spritesheet

[daring fern]

They contain images of what the mod uses in normal scale and double scale.

[scarlet imp]

1x and 2x are the same, except the 2x image is twice the size. Used for graphics
its better to use a single image because SMODS has an atlas object that makes mapping images easy

[sonic cedar]

what was johnmaged on man 😭

[tall wharf]

ok this is a pretty loaded question

1. 2x folder contains a bigger version of the same texture for the pixel smoothing feature
2. normally when you create an atlas you'd make a big sprite that contains multiple art in the same file so that it's easier for the game to load

i do the same thing as the example mod

[plain gazelle]

so I can put multiple pngs in 1x and 2x but putting a spritesheet there is better

got it, thanks

[faint urchin]

If I wanted to make a joker that gains chips anytime you lose money how would I go about that? Do I need to track every context in which you can possibly lose money to see if dollar_buffer is negative?

[sonic cedar]

i have a joker that does the same thing but it's whenever you lose scoring mult

youll need a tracker yeah

something like this but not this

and then youd call it as its own context

[daring fern]

It seems to just change the blinds mult

[sonic cedar]

oh really?

(i did not know this)

wait isnt that what all blinds use though

the chips stay static and the mult chanes

changes

[sonic cedar]

yeah that's just what they do

i mean it makes sense all blinds are just multiples of the base score so

why wouldnt it be mult

[daring fern]

Yes, I need to change the base blind size.

[sonic cedar]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

doesnt plasma deck do that actually

[daring fern]

Yes, but it changes a number to be 2 if I wanted to change the blind size depending on it self, I would need the base blind size.

[sonic cedar]

it changes the ante scaling yeah

hmmmm

[faint urchin]

so does mod_mult trigger whenever mult is lost? if not then how did you make it trigger

[daring fern]

It is used when mult is changed at all.

[faint urchin]

ok got it but is that function triggered automatically when mult is changed or do i have to set that up in my code?

[daring fern]

It is used to determine what the mult should be when changing the mult.

[faint urchin]

i don't understand what that means

[daring fern]

For example Lemon Trophy prevents the mult from going higher than chips, so it tells mod_mult to return the current chips if it is higher than the current chips.

[daring fern]

It seems I just had to hook get_blind_amount

But the chip text doesn't change.

[sonic cedar]

wheer

whre

oml

where

[daring fern]

It changes when you enter the blind but not on the blind select screen.

[scarlet imp]

is there a way to give the player additional hands/discards mid-blind?

that doesn't permanently give them more?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sonic cedar]

yeah just remove them how you would normally

[daring fern]

ease_hands_played and ease_discard

[sonic cedar]

bumping this

[sonic cedar]

think ease_dollars

it's like that

[daring fern]

You would check for context.post_trigger and cancel it if it happens.

[sonic cedar]

ok but can i do that in the main file

cause it's for an unlock

[daring fern]

You would probably hook calculate_joker then.

[sonic cedar]

i thought i could escape 😭

hook time again,,,

[daring fern]

Also I still need to get the blinds to update on the blind select screen because when you enter them they don't change into the blind they are supposed to be.

[keen loom]

can consumables give mult and chips in the same way as jokers? or it can only affect the playing cards?

[daring fern]

Yes.

Consumables have calculate

[keen loom]

was thinking of a consumable that adds chips or mult for one hand or round

[sonic cedar]

so what's the end of ante context?

[sonic cedar]

i think they do that in Blind.lua

[daring fern]

context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and G.GAME.blind.boss

[zenith sage]

in card.lua theres a section in the context tree for

if context.cardarea == g.jokers
if context.before
elseif context.after
else
...

what would fall under the else context, like cardarea == g.jokers but not before or after

or when would that activate rather

[wintry solar]

I wouldn’t suggest looking at that function

[sonic cedar]

that should do it yeah?

[daring fern]

No, it's just Card:calculate_joker

[sonic cedar]

ok but where does the rest go

[daring fern]

Also you should probably put nothingEverHappens in a G.GAME variable.

So it saves between loads and saves.

[sonic cedar]

i was gonna dw

[daring fern]

I think everything else is fine.

[daring fern]

The function is just called Card:calculate_joker

[sonic cedar]

that gives a syntax error dawg

[daring fern]

It would be function Card:calculate_joker()

[sonic cedar]

oh THATS what you meant

ok thanks

you would add the Card: right then

pretend its there

so it's good otherwise right

[daring fern]

Every except nothingEverHappens not in a G.GAME variable seems fine.

[sonic cedar]

it's in the main file

[daring fern]

No, I mean it should be like G.GAME.modprefix_nothingEverHappens

[sonic cedar]

this is an ovverrides fi-ohhh yeah true

[wintry solar]

You need the function arguments too

[sonic cedar]

the who

[daring fern]

It should be being defined as Card:calculate_joker(context)

[sonic cedar]

man i had the context in there before 😭

oKAY

[scarlet imp]

can I get the number of scored chips and mult from the context?

like context.after.chips or something

[sonic cedar]

how about NOW

[daring fern]

No, it should be in G.GAME not the profile.

[wintry solar]

Using post trigger for this seems very silly btw

[sonic cedar]

no one said otherwise man

[wintry solar]

Just hook calc joker and see if it returns anything

[sonic cedar]

is this the part where you tell me "just hoo-

gdi

[wintry solar]

Otherwise you are doubling the amount of calculations done for no reason

[sonic cedar]

so would i be like

if calc joker then set the var to false or

[wintry solar]

Calc joker also returns two values that you’ll need to handle

Let me type it up

[daring fern]

‎

[faint urchin]

is there a version of this that updates for money?

[scarlet imp]

🙏

[wintry solar]

local calchook = Card.calculate_joker
function Card:calculate_joker(context)
    local ret, trig = calchook(self, context)
    if next(ret) or trig then
        — set your flag
    end
    — do your unlock check
    return ret, trig
end```

[daring fern]

No, but you would probably hook ease_dollars

[sonic cedar]

like yeah?

[daring fern]

No, it would be G.GAME.modprefix_nothingEverHappens

[sonic cedar]

oh I just don’t need profiles at all

Got it

[wintry solar]

Change the return

[keen loom]

trying to make a sticker, and it's crashing

    key = "light",
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = colours { HEX('F7AA05') }
        }
    end,
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Element',
        text = {
            '{B:1,C:default}Light{}',
        },
    },
    rate = 0.0,
    atlas = 'elements',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
}```

[sonic cedar]

Good catch

[sonic cedar]

Otherwise good?

[daring fern]

Log?

[wintry solar]

Looks okay yeah

You mentioned needing a joker though, might need to add that in

[daring fern]

It's vars = {colours = {}}

[wintry solar]

Though if it requires a joker for every round I’m not sure this effect is even possible

[sonic cedar]

?

elab?

[wintry solar]

So it needs you to complete an entire ante whilst having st least one joker but not having any jokers trigger right?

[sonic cedar]

yeah

it doesn’t have to be the same joker if that’s the problem

[wintry solar]

No that’s not the problem

[sonic cedar]

Im listening

[wintry solar]

So you’d need to find a joker that exists without trigger ever, and then it would have to be at least ante 2 effectively jokerless

It seems very difficult

[sonic cedar]

I mean a difficult unlock was the intention
It’s a gag joker

Is it TOO difficult though?

/genq

[keen loom]

it 's still crashing

[wintry solar]

Youd never unlock it by just playing naturally

[daring fern]

Code?

[keen loom]

    key = "light",
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = { colours { HEX('F7AA05') } }
        }
    end,
    badge_colour = HEX("F7AA05"),
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Element',
        text = {
            '{B:1,C:default}Light{}',
        },
    },
    rate = 0.0,
    atlas = 'elements',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
}```

[daring fern]

It's colours = {}

[sonic cedar]

any ideas to make it slightly more possible then? still want it to be difficult, but i don’t want it to be impossible

[wintry solar]

Maybe just a single round?

But require it to be past a certain ante

[sonic cedar]

was gonna say

Minimum 3 should be good right

[wintry solar]

Having jokers that dont trigger is the tricky bit

[sonic cedar]

yeah thats why I picked a lower ante

I don’t want say 2 though thats too low

so either 3 or 4

is 4 even possible

maybe if you’re playing plasma

[daring fern]

Is it possible to change the blind mid-blind?

[sonic cedar]

I hope

[sonic cedar]

I set this to true in the main file and it crashes my game

it’s saying GAME is a nil value

[daring fern]

You need to set it to true when the run is started.

[sonic cedar]

so not when the game is opened

?

[sonic cedar]

what I have rn

[keen loom]

why does the badge says error?

[daring fern]

No.

[sonic cedar]

ok so then how do I set it at the start of a run

[daring fern]

Is this a seal?

[keen loom]

sticker

[daring fern]

You need to set the label in localization.

[daring fern]

You need to hook Game:start_run

[sonic cedar]

Patrick basketball image

Another hook for the overrides.lua

[sonic cedar]

What arguments does it use

[daring fern]

args

[sonic cedar]

Got it

[sonic cedar]

yeah?

[placid star]

are you in school?

[sonic cedar]

no my computer just sucks

[placid star]

ah

[daring fern]

It would be self.GAME.modprefix_nothingEverHappens

Also it would be self, args

[sonic cedar]

And then im adding self to the arguments i assume

Yeah

and thats it)

Right

[sonic cedar]

Game crashed on run start

Same crash

[daring fern]

Code?

[wintry solar]

You need to run the hook first

[sonic cedar]

same as earlier, just the G is now self and I added the argument

[wintry solar]

Iirc

[sonic cedar]

come again

like make it the top of the file or

[wintry solar]

It’s probably better to use init game object too

[sonic cedar]

oh well I have one of those set up already so I can just add on to it

[daring fern]

local g = gsr(self, args)
-- Set variable.
return g

[sonic cedar]

is it better to do this ⬆️ or use igo

well igo it is ig since I’ve already got it it set up

but now I have a backup plan

[wintry solar]

ultimately it doesn’t matter but I would use igo as you’re adding something to the game object

It just makes more sense to out that stuff in there

[sonic cedar]

i think I did it wrong

cause it gave me the index crash

do I just get rid of Game

oh wait duh ofc

It’s literally in an igo

[daring heron]

How hard is making editions 🤔

I wanna make one that just increases mult, chips and xmult, visually it would just have the voucher effect but with a new sprite (if that’s possible)

[sonic cedar]

attempt to call method ‘prep_stage’ (a nil value)

[wintry solar]

Did you delete your start run hook?

[sonic cedar]

I… left it empty

Forgot to get rid of it

at least it was a simple one

ok this time for sure

I tried to copy a card to my joker area and the game said no

should i be using brackets instead of parentheses

i mean i know the code said parentheses but it's expecting a table

[daring fern]

if (ret and next(ret)) or trig

[sonic cedar]

k

crashed when the conditions were fulfilled

i guess i cant do this?

i thought it would count ante

it's late tho so i'll figure it out later

[keen loom]

idk what's crashing it now

    key = "s_fire",
    badge_colour = HEX("E73020"),
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Element',
        text = {
            '{C:1,B:fire}Fire{}',
        },
    },
    rate = 0.0,
    atlas = 'elements',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
}```

[daring fern]

You're using B but you're not returning any colours.

[keen loom]

i defined them in the main lua file

[daring fern]

No? If your using B then you need to return colours.

[wintry solar]

Use X then

[keen loom]

ah

[plain gazelle]

I unpacked Balatro's source code and only found surface-level stuff, where's the code for vanilla jokers? as in the code that is used for joker effects. I need it for references while writing code for new jokers

[daring fern]

card.lua

[plain gazelle]

thanks :)

[sage crater]

this chips = line is throwing an error. Any ideas to fix it?

think I fixed it

ok so

the pseudorandom is still throwing an error, but when I remove it the code works perfectly fine

so is it possible to use the pseudorandom function at all?

[daring fern]

Yes, you're just using it when it doesn't exist yet I assume.

Also chips is not a valid input.

You need to use calculate if you want it to give a random amount of chips.

[sage crater]

yeah, I figured that much out 😅

[sage crater]

ah, ok. Why does pseudorandom work in some files and not others?

[keen loom]

i've added labels for it in en-us.lua but it doesn't display the label

[daring fern]

What does misc > labels look like?

[daring fern]

@sage crater

[sage crater]

but like

why does it exist in some files and not others

because I've used it with no issues in other contexts

[daring fern]

It does exist, it just doesn't exist when the game is loading your joker.

[keen loom]

    misc = {
        labels = {
            s_fire = "Fire",
            s_poison = "Poison",
            s_light = "Light",
            s_water = "Water",
            s_earth = "Earth",
            s_ice = "Ice",
            s_electric = "Electricity",
            s_dark = "Darkness",
            s_wind = "Wind",
            s_steel = "Steel",
            s_grass = "Grass",
            s_mix = "Mix",
        },
    }
}```

[daring fern]

You need your mod prefix.

[sage crater]

interesting

[keen loom]

on every key mentioned here?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[keen loom]

nope, still isn't working

[daring fern]

What does misc > labels look like?

[keen loom]

    misc = {
        labels = {
            CRPack_s_fire = "Fire",
            CRPack_s_poison = "Poison",
            CRPack_s_light = "Light",
            CRPack_s_water = "Water",
            CRPack_s_earth = "Earth",
            CRPack_s_ice = "Ice",
            CRPack_s_electric = "Electricity",
            CRPack_s_dark = "Darkness",
            CRPack_s_wind = "Wind",
            CRPack_s_steel = "Steel",
            CRPack_s_grass = "Grass",
            CRPack_s_mix = "Mix",
        },
    }
}```

[sage crater]

how do I change this so it runs the function on the enhancement instead of the card that has the enhancement?

is it with .center?

[daring fern]

fish_card.config.center:setChips?

[sage crater]

and is this set up correctly?

[daring fern]

I think so.

[sage crater]

ah damn

that means something else is crashing my game

[daring fern]

Log?

[sage crater]

think I fixed it

I used math.randomseed("fish") to set a seed so it follows the convention of every other use of randomness in this game, but it turns out the seed needs to be a number instead of a string

nvm it's still crashing, but now for a different reason 😔

it's complaining about line 163

I'm probably misunderstanding how to set up a function or something

ok, I think I figured it out

ok, I did :D

[primal terrace]

I think the latest version of SMODS changed how the custom deck is implemented

How would I alter the code so that it doesn't crash when I view the deck?

[daring fern]

What is that line in src/overrides.lua?

[primal terrace]

Here is the relevant line within SMODS

[manic rune]

i should make a modded deck soon so i can help with these

[primal terrace]

I should mention that it only crashes when clicking on the deck to view it

Playing through the modified deck works fine

[daring fern]

Try putting if not G.playing_cards then return false end in the event.

[thorn furnace]

How would I go about making a tooltip for Wheel of Fortune in my Joker's description
I'm not sure what the tooltip key would be

[daring fern]

G.P_CENTERS["c_wheel_of_fortune"]?

[primal terrace]

Either of these does not change the outcome, it crashes with the same error

[thorn furnace]

thank u :>

how wud i go about adding that tooltip actually
Unless it's just {V:G.P_CENTERS["c_wheel_of_fortune"]}

[cinder cliff]

Hey guys, how do I make it so a custom seal is applied as the card kinda wiggles when it is selected. This is happening

[daring fern]

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS["c_wheel_of_fortune"]?

[thorn furnace]

o
Thanks

[daring fern]

You use set_seal

[cinder cliff]

I know, but that applies the seal before the card is raised up and 'wiggled'

[daring fern]

Put it outside of an event.

[cinder cliff]

ok

[cinder cliff]

that didn't work, all the seals appear as soon as I click use

[daring fern]

Yes.

Those are the only two ways.

[cinder cliff]

I am trying to make it act like that one spectral card that adds the red or purple seal

But this is close enough ig

[languid mirage]

do you know how to read source code of the game?

[cinder cliff]

the source code is not in SMOD format

[languid mirage]

basic logic is the same?

[cinder cliff]

sorta

[languid mirage]

you just replace vanilla functions with SMODS ones

[cinder cliff]

where are all the consumable functions kept?

what file?

[languid mirage]

are you using VScode?

[cinder cliff]

yes

[languid mirage]

Ctrl + Shift + F

and type medium

[cinder cliff]

I don't think this helps too much

[languid mirage]

that is definition

you have more than 1 search result

you can see them on the left

[cinder cliff]

I see

[red flower]

[timid star]

this took a bit, but the execution is something magnificent

[cinder cliff]

I would watch the video but my internet is slower than an adult without coffee rn

[vale plinth]

That might just be the slowest thing ever

[cinder cliff]

it has been like 10 minutes and the video is still not fully loaded

[vale plinth]

😭

[keen loom]

it's not applying my gradient on the sticker description and badge
sticker code (in stickers.lua):

    key = "sticker_mix",
    badge_colour = mixture,
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Element',
        text = {
            '{C:white,X:CRPack_mixture}Mix{}',
        },
    },
    rate = 0.0,
    atlas = 'elements',
    pos = { x = 5, y = 1 },
}```
gradiant code (in main file):
```local mixture = SMODS.Gradient {
    key = 'mixture',
    colours = {HEX("F57B4B"), HEX("FEF377"), HEX("9AF983"), HEX("6E9EFE")},
    cycle = 5,
    interpolation = 'trig',
}```

[daring fern]

Did you put the gradient in loc_colours?

[red flower]

you don't need to

it's automatically registered

what smods version do you have

[thorn furnace]

How would I go about modifying Wheel of Fortune with a Joker
I had an idea for a Joker that upgraded Wheel of Fortune by changing the foil probability to holo, changing the holo probability to poly, and changing the poly probability to negative

[keen loom]

1.0.0 beta 0509c

[red flower]

and you're sure that's your prefix right?

[keen loom]

yep, CRPack

[daring fern]

You would either hook poll_edition or take ownership of wheel of fortune.

[keen loom]

wait nvm lol

[thorn furnace]

Hmm
How easy is taking ownership

[daring fern]

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

[thorn furnace]

o

that's not too bad

actually that lets me do like three jokers at once
baller

[jolly prawn]

Does anyone know what type of timer i could use within set_blind that wouldn't crash the game?

[keen loom]

ok, so i fixed the prefix. the gradient is still not working

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[red flower]

uhh idk then

[red flower]

that's what im saying

[jolly prawn]

Decrease the scored chips by 25 per second

[daring fern]

While in the blind or while in the ante?

[jolly prawn]

only while in the blind

[daring fern]

You would hook update and check if the current blind is that blind then you would do some math with dt and decrease the chips accordingly.

[faint yacht]

Yahi's mod has a blind that actively sets your "scored chips" to lower values, even if you're still selecting cards and what not.

[stiff quiver]

how can i check how many cards there are in a played hand?

[faint yacht]

#context.full_hand or #G.play.cards work.

[keen loom]

how do you add description of a sticker to joker description?

[stiff quiver]

i got this crash with this code ```lua calculate = function(self,card,context)
if not context.end_of_round and context.repetition and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[pseudorandom("seed",1,context.full_hand)] then

    return {repetitions = pseudorandom("seed", 1, 10)}
     
  end
end,

[daring fern]

It's #context.full_hand

[stiff quiver]

oh my bad

[red flower]

that's going to randomize once for each card btw

[burnt quartz]

How I can get the card's chips value?

I'm trying to multiply the chips with a seal's mult

[daring fern]

card:get_chip_bonus()

[burnt quartz]

chip_bonus() count as base chips?

[stiff quiver]

yeah i saw that while testing, its not my intention, how would i make it only trigger on one of the cards?

[burnt quartz]

I mean, the word "bonus" make me think that is a extra amount of chips, like a 10 card + get_chip_bonus()

[daring fern]

No, it's all the chips from a card.

bonus is another word for chips

[burnt quartz]

Oh

Okay

Ty

[keen loom]

is it possible to add description of sticker to joker's description?

[burnt quartz]

I want to change the chip's value of a card with a seal, What is the context for that?

[burnt quartz]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card) -- Add description of G.P_Joker info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_stone ... end,

This should work

[red flower]

you would need to pick a card in an earlier context and save the index

[cobalt iron]

Is it possible to make it so that you can draw more cards even if your hand is full?

[red flower]

yes

when exactly do you want to draw

[stiff quiver]

would this work?```lua calculate = function(self,card,context)
if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
card.ability.extra.sel_card = pseudorandom("seed",1,#context.full_hand)
if not context.end_of_round and context.repetition and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[sel_card] then

    return {repetitions = pseudorandom("seed", 1, 10)}
     
  end
end,```

[red flower]

yes

[solid mesa]

hi i have a question

[stiff quiver]

ok, thanks for your help everyone!

[solid mesa]

How difficult is it to create a new card?

[red flower]

what type of card

[solid mesa]

normal

i want to create a princess

K Q J P

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Rank-and-SMODS.Suit

[red flower]

it's not that hard https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Rank-and-SMODS.Suit

damn

[solid mesa]

dayum

[keen loom]

doesn't seem to work at all

[burnt quartz]

I want to change the bonus of a card with a seal, what I sould do?

[solid mesa]

ohhhh thx

i tough it would be more difficult

[keen loom]

i might try the other way by making an entry for it

[solid mesa]

like, i never see a new card

only colors

[stiff quiver]

this doesnt seem to be updating the value of the selected card, anyone know why? ```lua calculate = function(self,card,context)
if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
card.ability.extra.sel_card = pseudorandom("seed",1,#context.full_hand)
end
if not context.end_of_round and context.repetition and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[card.ability.extra.sel_card] then

    return {repetitions = pseudorandom("seed", 1, 10)}
     
  end
end, ```

its supposed to change it before playing the hand but its not doing it

[red flower]

oh wait remove context.cardarea == G.play in the before

[stiff quiver]

ok that worked, thank you again!

[keen loom]

i made descriptions in en-use.lua as a workaround to add sticker descriptions to joker decriptions. but how do i add these custom descriptions?

            element_fire = {
                name = "Element",
                text = {
                    '{C:white,X:fire}Fire{}',
                },
            },```

[red flower]

{ set = "Other", key = "element_fire" }

[snow vale]

why isnt it working?

[daring fern]

loc_vars?

[snow vale]

oh right

[keen loom]

uh... i wanted it to show beside the main description, not replace it

[red flower]

not in the return

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = { set = "Other", key = "element_fire" }

[hallow slate]

Earth

[keen loom]

it's only visual for now. might need to make a function to actually detect elements from cards

using pokermon to reference code was a bad idea because nothing's in the same place

[north swallow]

how would i make a joker that retriggers a card if it has a specific seal on it?

[daring fern]

if context.repetition and card.seal == "modprefix_seal" then return {repetitions = 1} end

[north swallow]

thanks!

[north swallow]

this code doesnt retrigger the cards though?

i just tried it

[daring fern]

context.other_card.seal

[north swallow]

do i do this then?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[north swallow]

alr thanks that works!

[keen loom]

why is it not changing the color? (the text is stored in en-us.lua)

[daring fern]

Are those colours in loc_colours?

[keen loom]

uh, no

[daring fern]

Where are they then?

[stiff quiver]

how do i make a joker destroy itself?

[daring fern]

card:start_dissolve()

[keen loom]

in the same file that contains the rarities

[daring fern]

Yes, where did you define the colours?

[keen loom]

i was referencing the rarities for the colors

[daring fern]

Is that your prefix and key?

[keen loom]

yes. the keys are for rarities

[red flower]

wasnt your rarity crcommon

[stiff quiver]

where do i put that?, i added it to the calculate and it isnt working calculate = function(self,card,context) if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers then card:start_dissolve() card.ability.extra.gain = card.ability.extra.gain + 1 return { dollars = card.ability.extra.gain } end end,

[keen loom]

i changed it to just "common"

because i would be using the prefix anyway

anyways, i'll just define all the static colors

still have no idea why gradients won't work

[keen loom]

yeah, the gradients don't work

[wintry basin]

Please add Milky Way cookie and strawberry shortcake cookie

Because they are cute

🥺

[north swallow]

how would i make a joker that gives xchips if a card with a certain seal is played?

bc this doesnt work

[keen loom]

ok, gradients are totally broken everywhere

[daring fern]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play

[keen loom]

never mind, they don't work in descriptions only

[versed swan]

How do you throw an error and halt/crash/stop/whatever the game?

[faint yacht]

error('msg')

[versed swan]

thank you

[faint yacht]

If you don't want to show the source line of crash, error('msg',0).

I use it in my Incantation fork check on startup. 0 is the verbosity level, fwiw.

[versed swan]

are there any more verbosity levels?

[keen loom]

why even mention this in the guide if you can't even use those colors?

[faint yacht]

1 and 2...

[red flower]

does that make it crash?

[faint yacht]

error() triggers the exception handler, so, yes.

[red flower]

amazing

ive always done assert

[red flower]

you can

ive done it

[keen loom]

then why it isn't working?

[red flower]

idk

maybe it broke recently

[keen loom]

do i need to downgrade my steamodded?

nope, downgrading doesn't help either

[normal crest]

Try logging G.LOC_COLOURS in the console

You might be using the wrong key

[keen loom]

how do you do that?

[normal crest]

With DebugPlus

It's a mod meant for helping with developing mods

[keen loom]

i honestly haven't been using it because i have no idea how to

[normal crest]

If you have it you should be able to just press / to open the console

[keen loom]

yeah, that's the only thing i know

[normal crest]

In that console type help

And press enter

You'll get a list of commands

You can execute lua code with eval

So try running "eval G.LOC_COLOURS"

it will print the table for you to see

[keen loom]

that didn't help a bit

[north swallow]

how would i make it so a joker can check if theres another specific joker and pull off a calculate function off of that

[normal crest]

I must've gotten the variable name wrong

I don't remember exactly what it was

Try G.LOC_COLOUR or G.LOC_COLORS

it has to be one of those I swear

[daring fern]

eval G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS

[normal crest]

Thanks!

[north swallow]

why is other_joker a nil value here?

[manic rune]

context.other_joker doesnt exist in context.end_of_round

[north swallow]

so what would i do if i want that effect to be active at the end of round

[normal crest]

Well, it might exist at some point, but not in every end_of_round context

[manic rune]

context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[normal crest]

What is your goal exactly?

[north swallow]

so i just do this?

[normal crest]

Have an end of round effect if you have a specific joker?

[manic rune]

no sob, but yeah itd be helpful if we know what ur trying to do here

[north swallow]

i want good whatsapp to disappear if evil whatsapp is present at the end of round

[north swallow]

kind of yeah

[manic rune]

context.end_of_round and context.main_eval in if statement

then use for loop to go through G.jokers.cards and check if evil whatsapp exists

[normal crest]

Use SMODS.find_card

Alongside end of round and main eval

[manic rune]

or that, yeah

[long sun]

hiya — i'm making a Partner with the ability Tarot cards in your consumable area give X1.5 Mult

[normal crest]

context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and next(SMODS.find_card("your_joker_id"))

[long sun]

how would i do this? would context.cardarea == G.consumeables be part of it? [if so, i should be able to finish the code]

[daring fern]

context.other_consumeable and context.other_consumeable.ability.set == "Tarot"?

[long sun]

grand ^^ that looks good

thanks!

[normal crest]

If that doesn't work try context.individual and the cardarea check

[daring fern]

context.individual is only for playing cards?

[normal crest]

I think it happens for all cardareas

[daring fern]

No?

That still wouldn't work.

[normal crest]

Try it! Print context inside an if context.individual

[north swallow]

how would i make a for loop to look for it though?

[normal crest]

Use this @north swallow

[north swallow]

oh alr i didnt see that

[normal crest]

Replace your joker id with the key for the joker you want to check for

[north swallow]

let me see if it works

[normal crest]

it should be prefix_jokerkey, where prefix is your mod prefix

[manic rune]

what about j_

[normal crest]

Right

j_prefix_key

[north swallow]

so i do this?

[daring fern]

It definitely doesn't.

[normal crest]

The condition looks right, idk about the rest

[normal crest]

Weird

[faint yacht]

How do I "score" held in hand card abilities?

[red flower]

individual is for hand, discard and deck
other_* is for the joker-like areas

[long sun]

neither of these worked

[daring fern]

Code?

[long sun]

here's what it's like at the moment, this is me trying the second condition but removing the context

[manic rune]

does SMODS.calculate_context({cardarea = G.hand, individual = true, other_card = "card in here"}) work?

just a guess

[long sun]

both do nothing, regardless of context.individual

[normal crest]

I swear it wasn't like this before

[red flower]

i mean maybe, ive only been modding since newcalc

[long sun]

[oh ya, i also tried context.other_card to see if that would work too]

[normal crest]

Anyway, you didn't use other_consumeable here

[faint yacht]

I'm mainly messing around with SMODS.calculate_main_scoring... and, well, I'd want to trigger such abilities, but in reverse order. calculate_context would do it in the right order.

[long sun]

[i did also try other_consumeable]

[daring fern]

Show the code but with context.other_consumeable

[long sun]

oh wait you mean yours

oops hold on

[manic rune]

in the right order?

[daring fern]

Try returning x_mult instead.

[faint yacht]

From left to right... I'd want to do it backwards from right to left.

[normal crest]

xmult is valid too

[manic rune]

you can certainly do that, im pretty sure, smt like a for loop with a table of cards from right to left and calculate_context should work?

[faint yacht]

Mainly to match this.

[manic rune]

actually, how does context.individual work

mm

[long sun]

ah wait, lemme try something

[faint yacht]

-# actually... hm... :)

[plain gazelle]

why isn't there "blueprint_compat" in example joker mod? are jokers compatible with print/storm by default?

[long sun]

aha! ya it's different for the Partner API :}

if context.partner_other_main and context.other_card and context.other_card.ability.set == "Tarot" then

[wicked leaf]

how do you load lua files that arent the main one

im getting started with modding (again) and need to know

[faint yacht]

assert(SMODS.load_file("file.lua"))()

[wicked leaf]

thank you

I suppose the string is the path from the root

[daring fern]

No.

[faint yacht]

ye.

[plain gazelle]

thanks

[gentle rain]

how would you go about updating a card's soul layer given a spritesheet of soul layers

this is the sprite sheet, the rightmost is the base layer

[daring fern]

card.children.floating_sprite:set_sprite_pos({x = number, y = number})?

[gentle rain]

oooh

[keen loom]

so i WAS using the wrong key

[gentle rain]

yeah that was perf ty!!!

[normal crest]

@daring fern https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/src/utils.lua#L1471

[keen loom]

the prefix is always lowercase

it was not working because i kept the prefix in uppercase

[normal crest]

Did you manage to make it work

[stiff quiver]

sorry for asking again, how can i make a joker destroy itself, kinda like how gross michel does it (at end of round i mean)? someone told me to add card:start_dissolve() but it didnt seem to work

[keen loom]

yeah. apparently prefix has to be in lowercase if the key is referenced as a color

[normal crest]

you should be able to just use gross michel's destroying code

adapting it to your joker of course

[stiff quiver]

where do i find that in the game's code?

[normal crest]

Mods/lovely/dump/card.lua

and ctrl + f for "gros michel"

reminder that where the game uses self you want to use card instead

[normal crest]

hey at least you learned to use debugplus console thanks to this, very helpful tool

[stiff quiver]

ok thanks!

[wintry solar]

Assuming you are on newest smods use SMODS.destroy_cards(card)

[faint yacht]

local seljoker = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, pseudoseed('aeiou'))
if not seljoker.edition then ... end

@ancient plinth

[stiff quiver]

im on this version (1.0.0~BETA-0419b-STEAMODDED) is this the newest?

[daring fern]

No.

[stiff quiver]

ok, i'll get the newest then

[normal crest]

yippieee

[stiff quiver]

i got this crash after adding that

    if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
      SMODS.destroy_cards(card)
      card.ability.extra.gain = card.ability.extra.gain + 1
      return { dollars = card.ability.extra.gain }
    end 
  end, ```

[red flower]

update smods

[wintry solar]

-# it’s not on the release candidate yet, just the dev build, but I think I’ll probably update the release tomorrow

[stiff quiver]

oh i didnt download the dev build, only the normal one, my bad

ok its working now, thanks everyone!

[jolly prawn]

sorry for late response, i basically just saw this. How would i set something like this up?

[rapid stag]

what's the default joker atlas called

[ancient plinth]

Thanks

[daring fern]

Joker

[stiff quiver]

how do call the increase in chance of oops all sixes to make a random ability more likely to happen?

i want this to be more likely if you have oops all sixes```lua pseudorandom("seed",1,4) * chance >= 4

[tall jewel]

Does anyone know where exactly the function for a card tallying the chips/mult attached to it is?

as in, the animation itself

I looked through Talisman's disable_anims thing and couldn't find anything associated with it

[faint acorn]

anybody happen to know where I can find the legendary joker background like perkeo or chichot or something?

[tall jewel]

extract the game as a zip file -> assets/1x/

[snow vale]

how can i destroy every heart suit card?

[normal crest]

the chance is in G.GAME.probabilities.normal

that value will be 1 if no oops, and 2 with oops

you can find that used everywhere in the card.lua file of the game if you need examples

[hardy viper]

(4 with 2 copies of oops)

(8 w 3, 16 w 4, etc)

[faint yacht]

Or 0.5 with Debian.
-# #completelyunoriginal

[stiff quiver]

ok thanks everyone!

what am i supposed to put in the pseudorandom? ```lua if pseudorandom("seed",1,4) <= G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.ability.extra.odds then

[daring fern]

Remove ,1,4

[minor magnet]

is patching other mods possible

i need to patch into an api mod for a thing

[red flower]

yes

'=[SMODS modid "path.lua"]'

as the target

[unborn bay]

note that this doesn't work on macos until next plausible lovely update

[minor magnet]

this doesn't seem to be working

im on windows

[keen loom]

is it possible to reference an array from a different file?

[minor magnet]

yes, make it a global

[keen loom]

uh... how?

[tall jewel]

as in, don't use local

just ensure the variable is loaded first

[stiff quiver]

im getting this crash, whats wrong with the code? lua calculate = function(self,card,context) if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers then if pseudorandom("seed") <= G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra.odds then SMODS.destroy_cards(card) return { message = "Destroyed" } end card.ability.extra.gain = card.ability.extra.gain + 1 return { dollars = card.ability.extra.gain } end end,

[keen loom]

so i'll put global instead?

[red flower]

weird

[tall jewel]

no

[daring fern]

No, you just remove local

[tall jewel]

just var = x

[keen loom]

so... how i'll reference this from a different file? each joker has their own list

[daring fern]

It would be teams = {

[stiff quiver]

nvm i figured it out

[spice wadi]

What actually happens?

[keen loom]

so if i want to access it in a for loop in different file, i'll do for i = 1, teams{brave_team}?

[tall jewel]

what yall think

[daring fern]

No, it would be #teams.brave_team

[tall jewel]

new joker subtype "forager" will create a card when completing a boss blind

[paper zealot]

Be aware that this is a global declaration for the entire program and all of its code, so if any other mod declares a global table called teams, you'll be stepping on each other's toes. Consider using a more specific name, or adding it as a member of your mod's table if you already have a global table declared

[tall jewel]

Addition to the forager card part: eating the card produced by the harpy will destroy it instead of debuffing it

The only reason this wouldn't be op is because fruit cards can ONLY play a high card, and only the first fruit will score. Of course, the chips and mult are adjusted for this but still

[sonic cedar]

back from yesterday
this line causes my game to crash. is this not how i can ante check?

[keen loom]

i can't load the file

in main .lua file:

local func = NFS.getDirectoryItems(mod_dir.."functions")
for _, file in ipairs(func) do
    SMODS.load_file("functions/"..file)()
end```

[sonic cedar]

youre not loading the file

[minor magnet]

nothing

[keen loom]

uh... yeah, i can clearly see it's not loaded 😭

[minor magnet]

the patch does not apply

[spice wadi]

Yeah but does anything at all show in the console I mean
Like that it couldn't find a match or smth

[rapid stag]

#💻・modding-dev message
hhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[keen loom]

then how do i actually load it?

[sonic cedar]

typing

[keen loom]

i only know how to use SMODS.load_file to access files in the root, but not inside other folders

[sonic cedar]

what's your mod_dir set to

[keen loom]

"cookie run" folder in the mods folder

is that what you ask?

[sonic cedar]

also move the NFS variable to inside the for loop

or wait
