[sonic cedar]

no

can i see your mod_dir variable

[keen loom]

where do i find that?

[sonic cedar]

?

do you not

have it with your file loading

something like this (it's mod_path here but it should be fine)

[paper zealot]

Is cookierun_teams declared in the main file before you run this? If not, it might just be an issue of the files being loaded out-of-order, where the file using the table is loading before the one declaring it

[sonic cedar]

that too

[keen loom]

yeah, it is just that
mod_dir = ''..SMODS.current_mod.path

[sonic cedar]

ok cool

so yeah try breeze's thing because the code itself looks fine?

order is important

[paper zealot]

It's also good practice to name global variables with an Uppercase first letter for clarity

[keen loom]

nope, it's in the other file that i am trying to load

[paper zealot]

You might need to rethink how you're structuring your mod and code, then

[sonic cedar]

you could also maybe turn your file load into a folder load function? just to make things easier in the long run

[keen loom]

this is what the other file looks like. i don't want those arrays to fill too much space in the main file, hence i put them in a different file

[ancient plinth]

I am working on making a joker that's a combination of Invisible Joker and Ectoplasm (minus the hand size reduction), how is this so far?

[ancient plinth]

Idk how to fix the error also, I don't have much lua experience

[daring fern]

It has to be COOKIE_TEAMS = {

[paper zealot]

That should be COOKIE_TEAMS = {, but is otherwise fine, whichever system of organisation makes the most sense to you is okay. You just need to make sure that you're loading it before anything tries to use it.

[sonic cedar]

where is the =

the triple is crazy

[vale plinth]

bump :p

[sonic cedar]

where is the locvars

invis NEEDS that

[ancient plinth]

What is locvars?

[keen loom]

there's a function for that?

[sonic cedar]

you set it up yourself

just put what you have already within a function

example

[ancient plinth]

What do I do?

[keen loom]

oh, i already do that

[sonic cedar]

firstly wiki answer

loc_vars is just your localization variables (go figure). you use it instead of loc_txt, in which you'll need a separate localization file

[ancient plinth]

I am confused ngl

[sonic cedar]

ok so

[hardy viper]

fyi files will load in different orders on different platforms with this approach

i think for the main platforms (mac/windows) the only differences are with case sensitivity

[bold sleet]

-# are they trying to load different files from their mod?

-# if so, I may know a method to ensure they laod in the same order always

[hardy viper]

tbh smods should have a load folder function that loads everything in the same order on every platform

[red flower]

the method is to order the load_files in the correct order

[sonic cedar]

say i had this

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

that "vars" bit is connected to the values you put in your config table
in this case

config = { extra = { mult = 4 }, },

[pulsar radish]

Good morning, how can I start modifying balatro?

[bold sleet]

what if...

you like, do just that?

[red flower]

👍

[bold sleet]

please just make and use a local array

[red flower]

why

[sonic cedar]

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

good place to start

[bold sleet]

because uh...

idk, looks slightly cleaner?

or idk

[red flower]

there's literally no difference when ctrl c ctrl v exists

[pulsar radish]

Thanks handsome

[sonic cedar]

np

[bold sleet]

In any case, you can do both approaches.

And files will be loaded in the same order every time.

also I eat for loops for lunch every day

[ancient plinth]

So what do I do?

[turbid maple]

im not putting dependencies in an array and iterating over them just to import them why would i do that

[red flower]

what about

[bold sleet]

fnui

[turbid maple]

umm.. DRY? have asl prepend src/ to the path then ill be happy

[primal robin]

import

[red flower]

true

[sonic cedar]

invis joker's loc_vars is different from the simple, as it uses both ipairs and main_end iirc

N' did you do vr invis yet or nah

[red flower]

like invisible joker?

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[red flower]

yes all jokers are done

[sonic cedar]

they want to comb-FR?

goated

[keen loom]

crash again...

            for i = 1, #COOKIE_TEAMS{brave_team} do
                if #COOKIE_TEAMS{brave_team}[i] == context.other_joker then
                    return {
                        xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                    }
                end
            end
        end```

[primal robin]

what a weird brackets

[sonic cedar]

they're combining invis with ectoplasm

[daring fern]

It should be . not {}

[wintry solar]

it should actually be .

[sonic cedar]

i was about to say

[wintry solar]

or a string inside the brackets

[keen loom]

so either #COOKIE_TEAMS.brave_team or #COOKIE_TEAMS{"brave_team"}?

[red flower]

#COOKIE_TEAMS["brave_team"]

[ancient plinth]

How do I fix the error?

Nvm

I just had to delete the brackets

Aside from the brackets, how does it look?

[sonic cedar]

there's an uned version of invis joker linked here. you shouldnt need the draw unless you're giving it invis' shader? nor the unlock check as that is in fact for invis

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/599f32c1caeee6f17e64d849c36768435f77d418/src/jokers.lua#L4352

[sonic cedar]

loc_vars is a function

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  --stuff
end

[keen loom]

ok, so the third part isn't really working. it is supposed to give x0.2 mult when a card in that list scores

[sonic cedar]

does it crash

[keen loom]

nope, it just ignores the third part

[red flower]

is the list a list of keys?

[vale plinth]

i have no clue what im doing 😭 this infinitely makes the sound of enhancing a card (softlock)

[red flower]

oh also post_joker doesn't have other_joker?

[sonic cedar]

it does not

[keen loom]

yeah, a list of joker keys that would give them x0.2 mult when those score

[red flower]

i would change that post_joker for other_joker and then you need to check context.other_joker.config.center.original_key

i think its original_key

[sonic cedar]

post_joker is for after scoring

while other_joker is probably what you're looking for

[paper zealot]

I think you're not quite understanding tables yet, might want to brush up on a Lua tutorial.
#COOKIE_TEAMS gives the number of elements in the table.
You're counting up from 1 to #COOKIE_TEAMS.brave_team and want to check if each element of COOKIE_TEAMS.brave_team is the other joker, so try

if COOKIE_TEAMS.brave_team[i] == context.other_joker then

[red flower]

that too yeah

[sonic cedar]

i forgot to go back and look at that

[keen loom]

the wording confused me a bit

[sonic cedar]

ic

[ancient plinth]

Which to what numbered line should I copy for the invis joker?

[keen loom]

i want the xmult to happen when the other joker scores

[sonic cedar]

bump

[wintry solar]

thats post_trigger

[sonic cedar]

post_trigger th- yeah

[sonic cedar]

you'll need the config, that entire loc_vars and entire calculate function
the former for initializing, the latter for the actual effect

you wont need the draw function or the unlock check

[ancient plinth]

So from 4367 to 4416 minus the draw stuff?

[placid star]

jarvis why do so many of my ideas make me implement new card areas

[ancient plinth]

Thx

[keen loom]

ok yeah, the third part is straight up ignored, even with fixes

[sonic cedar]

so how am i supposed to check if the ante is at least 3 if doing G.GAME.round_resets_ante >= 3 crashes it

[sonic cedar]

well is it fixed

[keen loom]

the effect is straight up not triggering

[sonic cedar]

What’s it look like

[placid star]

this works for any domain cards, yet i cant get a use button on todo, is it because hes a joker and CANT?

[plain gazelle]

I want to test my joker, but hovering above it in collection and pressing 3 does not spawn it for some reason?

[sonic cedar]

oh my god I put an underscore instead of a period

[normal crest]

are you sure it doesn't spawn it, or are you not seeing it cus it doesn't have a sprite

[plain gazelle]

Wait yeah that's the issue lmao

thanks

[normal crest]

lol np

[sonic cedar]

this is why we use placeholders

[rustic atlas]

hi! is there a way to get all the base game jokers 'calculate function', in a joker calculate - so for example: a joker that has the effect of other random joker every hand played

[sonic cedar]

this might be set_ability shenanigans

[keen loom]

i just notice that the joker calculates weirdly

[daring fern]

No, but that effect is mostly possible.

[rapid stag]

bump

[rustic atlas]

how? if not through the joker calculate

[daring fern]

You need to create a "fake" joker to run the calculate from.

[daring fern]

Try return nil, true instead of return {}?

[rapid stag]

what does the ,true part do

[daring fern]

It tells the game that it has triggered.

[rapid stag]

no change from what i showed

[placid star]

does anyone have a joker with a use button i could peek at in their mod?

[rapid stag]

it's definitely something with event manager

i was only able to get this to reproduce properly after setting up the events like that

which suggests that the events are displacing the retrigger message

[snow vale]

how can i destroy every card from the hearts suit?

(with a joker)

[daring fern]

Try putting the whole thing in a func in the return?

[daring fern]

if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card:is_suit("Hearts") then return {remove = true} end

[snow vale]

okk

btw the destroyed cards are the played ones

[rapid stag]

that fixes it

[rapid stag]

although i run into this while trying to implement the fix on one of my affected jokers

actually, why am i doing that in the func i can just do it before it

nvm, pebkac

[slow brook]

how do i check how many cards have been discarded in a blind?

[daring fern]

You would have to count manually I think.

[slow brook]

how about cards played or drawn in total in that round?

[placid star]

these dont show up in the shop, any ideas?

[tawdry shale]

do you guys know how to check if the game is currently in the shop? this isn't anything joker related

[daring fern]

if G.STATE == G.STATES.SHOP?

[daring fern]

You need to do pools = { ["Joker"] = true },

[summer flume]

how would I "get rid of" a vanilla suit? part of the mod i'm making replaces the 4 vanilla suits with 6 of my own
i know it has something to do with taking control of it, maybe?

i want it to not show up at all here

[daring fern]

SMODS.Suits["Hearts"].in_pool = function() return false end

[summer flume]

ah, thank you!

[vale plinth]

can someone explain why this doesnt work

[scarlet thorn]

youre ending the func early, so lines 30-38 dont run

[daring fern]

G.shop_jokers and G.pack_cards don't exist when the deck is applied.

[vale plinth]

ohhh

how do i then do it

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[vale plinth]

all jokers in the shop are negative

[scarlet thorn]

Make everything eternal and negative by the looks of it

[vale plinth]

yeah

[daring fern]

Only jokers? Or everything?

[vale plinth]

i was starting with just jokers, but i do want everything yes

the negative playing cards do work

[plain gazelle]

is there a way to get a joker's price in shop?

[daring fern]

You need something like this in your file: ```lua
local oldcardareainit = CardArea.init
function CardArea:init(X, Y, W, H, config)
local r = oldcardareainit(self, X, Y, W, H, config)
if not config.temporary and not config.collection then
mod.all_card_areas = mod.all_card_areas or {}
table.insert(mod.all_card_areas, self)
end
return r
end

[daring fern]

card.cost

[plain gazelle]

thanks

[vale plinth]

my god

okay

[daring fern]

Then hook update and check for the deck and put this in there: ```lua
for k, v in pairs(mod.all_card_areas) do
if (type(v) == "table" and v.cards and type(v.cards) == "table") then
for k, v in pairs(v.cards) do
if not (v.edition and v.edition.negative) then
v:set_edition("e_negative", true, true)
end
end
end
end

[vale plinth]

so what does the first code do

im very new to this sorry

[daring fern]

Puts all the card areas in a table so you can make every card negative.

[vale plinth]

ohhhhh

[slow brook]

is there a context for discarding?

[vale plinth]

so this goes in the event?

and the first code before the event?

[daring fern]

context.discard for individual cards and context.pre_discard for once before the discard.

[daring fern]

No, that goes in an update hook.

[daring fern]

The first code you just put in your main file outside everything.

[vale plinth]

so also outside of the smods.back{

[summer flume]

how would I do the same for a rank? it crashes if i try

[daring fern]

SMODS.Ranks["Ace"].in_pool = function() return false end

[summer flume]

ah, a type

typo

silly me

[sonic cedar]

hell yeah

[slow brook]

how do i check what poker hand was discarded?

[vale plinth]

like this?

[turbid maple]

refer to how burnt joker does it

[daring fern]

No, decks don't have update

[turbid maple]

i forgot what the functions called but theres one that calculates poker hands contained in a set of cards

[sturdy flower]

edit the discard function to run an evaluate_poker_hand call

[vale plinth]

😭

how do i then make an update hook

[daring fern]

G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(context.full_hand)

[daring fern]

local oldupdate = Card.update
function Card:update(dt)
    for k, v in pairs(mod.all_card_areas) do
        if (type(v) == "table" and v.cards and type(v.cards) == "table") then
            for k, v in pairs(v.cards) do
                if not (v.edition and v.edition.negative) then
                    v:set_edition("e_negative", true, true)
                end
            end
        end
    end
    return oldupdate(self, dt)
end

[vale plinth]

it says this now

[sonic cedar]

is there a way to affect all probability at once?

oh my god im stupid

oa6

[vale plinth]

oa6

[sonic cedar]

i forgot oops existed, smth

[vale plinth]

oops is goated

[daring fern]

No, it needs to be outside of everything.

[vale plinth]

oh

thanks

lemme try

[keen totem]

so idk what i did

but retriggers dont happen anymore

not from base game cards, not from cards from other mods, and i dont even have any that do that

retriggers have been removed from my copy of balala

chad doesnt work

its a base game card

HOW

[vale plinth]

attempt to index a mod (nil value)

[keen totem]

somehow my mod managed to turn off retriggers

and i have no idea what the hell i did

[vale plinth]

thats impressive

[keen totem]

it doesnt make any sense

[daring fern]

You need to do mod = SMODS.current_mod

[keen totem]

how the hell did i manage to break a base game card

[daring fern]

If you disable your mod does it become normal?

[vale plinth]

local mod or just mod

[keen totem]

yes

i dont know how

[vale plinth]

wtf

[daring fern]

local mod

[keen totem]

what the fuck

[vale plinth]

okay thanks

[placid star]

can jokers debuff your playing cards?

[keen totem]

yes

look at cryptid's mask joker

so i figured out what happened

well

whats causing it

not why

[vale plinth]

next problem lol

[limber obsidian]

Whats the card size again for 1x and 2x?

[keen totem]

local scie = SMODS.calculate_individual_effect
function SMODS.calculate_individual_effect(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)
    local ret = scie(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)
    if
        (
            key == "x_mult"
            or key == "xmult"
            or key == "Xmult"
            or key == "x_mult_mod"
            or key == "xmult_mod"
            or key == "Xmult_mod"
        )
        and amount ~= 1
        and mult
    then
        if next(SMODS.find_card("j_CGN_RedJoker", false))then
            for i,v in ipairs(SMODS.find_card("j_CGN_RedJoker", false)) do
                v.ability.extra.mult = v.ability.extra.mult + v.ability.extra.scaling
                SMODS.calculate_effect({message="+"..v.ability.extra.scaling.." Mult",colour = G.C.MULT}, v)
            end
        end
    end
end

somehow this managed to turn off hanging chad and all retriggering of playing cards

[keen totem]

71 * 95

[daring fern]

Code?

[keen totem]

and for 2x its just double that

[limber obsidian]

Aight

[keen totem]

could anyone help me figure out why this causes retriggers to disappear from existing?

[vale plinth]

also thanks for this

[daring fern]

You're not returning ret

[keen totem]

so at the end of everything just put
return ret

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

local oldupdate = Card.update
function Card:update(dt)
    if mod.all_card_areas then
        for k, v in pairs(mod.all_card_areas) do
            if (type(v) == "table" and v.cards and type(v.cards) == "table") then
                for k, v in pairs(v.cards) do
                    if not (v.edition and v.edition.negative) then
                        v:set_edition("e_negative", true, true)
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
    return oldupdate(self, dt)
end

[placid star]

can jokers have debuff funcs like blinds?

[keen totem]

idk

i just know that cryptid does it

[red flower]

theres an undocumented debuff_card context

[placid star]

im looking at debuff_hand atm

but idk what to use to calculate the debuff since i cant use context

[red flower]

what are you trying to do?

debuff_hand is to prevent the hand from being played

[placid star]

yeah like what psychic does

im tryna debuff anything that doesnt contain a flush

[vale plinth]

it works. one problem, it works for all decks

[red flower]

yeah you can use that

[sonic cedar]

patterns should always be one line in patches right

[red flower]

no there can be multiple lines

[sonic cedar]

oh cool now i dont have to worr

y

do i just press enter

[daring fern]

You need to check for your deck.

[red flower]

'''
pattern
'''

[placid star]

what var would i use to check for hand containing a flush, would it be hand?

[vale plinth]

wdym

[sonic cedar]

so like payload

[daring fern]

local oldupdate = Card.update
function Card:update(dt)
    if mod.all_card_areas and G.GAME and G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.selected_back.effect and G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center and G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == "b_prefix_key" then
        for k, v in pairs(mod.all_card_areas) do
            if (type(v) == "table" and v.cards and type(v.cards) == "table") then
                for k, v in pairs(v.cards) do
                    if not (v.edition and v.edition.negative) then
                        v:set_edition("e_negative", true, true)
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
    return oldupdate(self, dt)
end

[keen totem]

you can combine an entire file into one line, you just cant split one line across multiple lines alot of times

[red flower]

context.poker_hands["Flush"]

[vale plinth]

ohhhh

[vale plinth]

lemme check if this works

[placid star]

context isnt passed in **

[red flower]

what does this mean

[red flower]

is this a joker or a blind

[placid star]

jonker

[red flower]

jokers dont have a debuff_hand function

use the context

[keen totem]

you dont technically need to have multiple lines in a file

you could just put it all on a single line

you just have to be really good with figuring out the syntax

[placid star]

this is the only one on the wiki abt debuffing and this is what matador uses right? not for debuffing

[red flower]

but what does that have to do with their question

[red flower]

like i said, its undocumented

[rapid stag]

this fixes on quitting to menu and loading the run again, but when invisible joker creates a custom joker, it switches to the default atlas and not the custom joker's? is this a known thing with the current steamodded build or

[keen totem]

idk why but i thought that they said smth else

[sonic cedar]

so now my payload is acting up?

no wait

im using multiline formatting

that's a single line

no wait cause

huh

[spice wadi]

im writing a library mod currently, how can i easily get the mod thats calling my function without passing the mod as an argument

[placid star]

i cant find it in better_calc.toml..

[vale plinth]

doesnt work, no crashed but the jokers arent neg.
playing cards are but thats because of the other code i think

[red flower]

overrides.lua

[sonic cedar]

why does this one go red? (above patch for reference)

[daring fern]

You need to change b_prefix_key

[red flower]

you're using the same type of quotes in the pattern you need to escape them \'

[vale plinth]

oh im stupid

[sonic cedar]

where does that go

[red flower]

instead of the ' inside the pattern

[sonic cedar]

oh ok

[spice wadi]

i would try inspecting the local variables with the debug thing but im not sure what to look for

[sonic cedar]

wait what do you mean inside it

ohhh

[red flower]

'''
 if the pattern uses \'quotes\' you escape them
'''

[sonic cedar]

in the reference pattern im putting \ behind each qu-yeahhh

[red flower]

i think thats the problem at least

[sonic cedar]

and that's only a multiline issue right

cause the above patch has those but it's single line

[red flower]

it's an issue of using the same type of quote around the pattern and inside the pattern

[placid star]

this no worky

[red flower]

with a single line you might need to escape ' or " too

[red flower]

return { debuff = true }

[sonic cedar]

ok well

[vale plinth]

just negative also didnt work

[red flower]

uhhh can you copy it here

[vale plinth]

which is the key

[sonic cedar]

ofc

[sonic cedar]

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
match_indent = true
times = 1
target = "card.lua"
pattern = '''

payload = '''

[red flower]

also i lied you dont need to escape them lol

[daring fern]

You need to change prefix to your mod prefix.

[sonic cedar]

i mean i figured since the first patch works fine lmao

but im just trying stuff

[red flower]

thats a double qoute

quote

it shouldnt be

[sonic cedar]

no way i put a double quote

are we fr

oml

hopefully it works though

[vale plinth]

is that the mod id or do i need to add a line for prefix

[plush depot]

sorry to bother anyone but can someone teach (tell) me how to make my joker have X-2 mult

[red flower]

you can probably just return { xmult = -2 } but idk

question: the game doesnt keep track of hands contained in hands played, right?

[plush depot]

this is the code so far

[primal robin]

WAIT

Can we run Balatro on OpenComputers?

[red flower]

try copying normal jimbo in vanilla remade and changing the return to xmult = -2

[plush depot]

ok

[rapid stag]

question, is the function in a joker return table evaluated before calculate_seal()?

[daring fern]

It seems to come after.

[rapid stag]

the function comes after? or calculate_seal

[vale plinth]

thanks so much man, it works

[plush depot]

why is it red

[vale plinth]

cause its evil

[plush depot]

[daring fern]

What is the file called?

[plush depot]

uh

[daring fern]

It should be lua not json

[plush depot]

ok

[daring fern]

calculate_seal comes before.

[plush depot]

how do i do that

[daring fern]

You change .json to .lua

[plush depot]

i just changed it to main.lua and now this is it

[daring fern]

You need to turn file extensions on.

[plush depot]

...how do i do that?

i dont know anyhting

[daring fern]

Change it within vscode

[plush depot]

i know that but like what do i do to change it

[daring fern]

Right click > Rename...

[plush depot]

um

its not showing rename

😔

[daring fern]

Are you right clicking on the file on the side?

[summer flume]

suit symbols are showing up correctly in View Deck but not on hover?

any obvious mistakes?

[upper onyx]

can someone help me understand this code? its from cryptid (specifically the old blueprint joker), and im trying to use it as reference for a blueprint-like joker im making, but i dont understand how context.blueprint and context.blueprint_card work:

context.blueprint = (context.blueprint and (context.blueprint + 1)) or 1
context.blueprint_card = context.blueprint_card or card

if context.blueprint > #G.jokers.cards + 1 then
    return
end

[daring fern]

Just use SMODS.blueprint_effect

[upper onyx]

ok. what does that do, and how do i use it?

[daring fern]

It gives you the return of the joker you're copying and SMODS.blueprint_effect(copier, copied_card, context)

[scarlet imp]

is there a way I can just straight up access the amount of chips and mult currently in my score?
like context.current_chips or something like that

[daring fern]

hand_chips and mult

[gentle rain]

this should set every hand's base chips to 1, right? it doesnt seem to be doing anything though

card.ability.extra.savedchips[i] is to save the number of chips to be restored later

[gentle rain]

hmmm, it seems like the ipairs just isnt running at all

nvm solved

[scarlet imp]

is this a context? or a field of G.GAME

[normal crest]

a global variable

two global variables

[scarlet imp]

I see, thanks

[scarlet imp]

does Debug-Plus have a command that levels up hands?

or do I need to do it manually with cards

[upper onyx]

how do i get a jokers key?

[scarlet imp]

joker.config.center_key

[shut crater]

you can use eval to directly run lua code

[plush depot]

it wont change from .json

[sonic cedar]

Why are you putting jokers in a metadata file

[vale plinth]

Hes trying to make it lua

Save as and then lua

[sonic cedar]

the

The metadata file?

[vale plinth]

I think so

[sonic cedar]

Why?????

[plush depot]

im slow

oops

[shut crater]

I believe he saved his main file as a json instead of lua

[sonic cedar]

ok but theres literally metadata in it

[shut crater]

oh yeah look at that

[plush depot]

yeah i uh

[shut crater]

so yeah you need two separate files

[plush depot]

i opened the wrong file 😭

[sonic cedar]

just make a lua file dawg 😭

you need that json file

[shut crater]

your metadata should be a json with all the metadata stuff, your main file should be a lua file with all your mod code

[plush depot]

i made a new file

i was being a little slow

[scarlet imp]

anyone know how to count seconds spent in an Ante?

[shut crater]

and then at some point you should probably also make a localization file, but let's take this one step at a time

[scarlet imp]

just a regular old time function?

[faint yacht]

l_chips and l_mult are per-level bonuses, whilst s_mult & s_chips are base values. .chips and .mult are total values as calculated by adding the two, with former being multiplied for every level.

[vale plinth]

What is the json file necessary for?

[plush depot]

making the mod the mod

i think

[shut crater]

it makes sure smods recognizes your mod files, yeah

[sonic cedar]

stores all the information about your mod and so smods can re—yeah

[shut crater]

and loads all the correct data associated with your mod, like the version and creator and all that stuff

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

[vale plinth]

Ohhh but you can also do it in a lua file

Written differently

[shut crater]

yes, but they strongly encourage the json file method

[vale plinth]

How come?

[shut crater]

excellent question, I don't know but I trust programmers to have valid reasons for things

the smods folks kinda know what they're doing

[vale plinth]

Thats fair

Thanks

[plush depot]

someone help idk what it wants

[vale glen]

JSON is portable and standard in lots of web software, so it's easier to maintain since it's more about library calls than custom code. Dunno what format the legacy stuff is in, but it seems to be custom. Might be wrong though.

[plush depot]

oops wron file

[vale plinth]

Lol

[vale glen]

The less code one is responsible for and has to maintain (while still keeping the same functionality), the better the code is.

[vale plinth]

Okay thank you

Ohhhh

[vale plinth]

Did you close the bracket after smods.joker

[plush depot]

yes

[frosty rampart]

you need a comma after the bracket that closes the loc_txt

oh and you need it after the key and path in your atlas too

(you have a typo in your loc_txt too, it should be X:mult with an l instead of a k)

[scarlet imp]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and not context.game_over and G.GAME.last_blind and G.GAME.last_blind.boss then
            card.ability.extra.time = os.clock()
            return {
                message = localize("k_reset"),
                colour = "G.C.BLUE"
            }
        end
        local seconds =  math.floor(os.clock() - card.ability.extra.time)
        card.ability.extra.chips = math.max(0, math.floor(card.ability.extra.chips - seconds * card.ability.extra.subtract))
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips
            }
        end
    end

supposed to count seconds (with I thought I accounted for with the math.floor) but I think its counting nanoseconds since the value is always 0

[vagrant grail]

i need help, my game is crashing and i dont know what to do

[sonic cedar]

is there a way to print G.GAME.probabilities in the console

[shut crater]

print(tprint(G.GAME.probabilities))

or print(inspect(G.GAME.probabilities))

[sonic cedar]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1369861558556950579
you could try asking the dev maybe, i have no idea what's going on here

[normal crest]

or just open the console and type eval G.GAME.probabilities

[shut crater]

the section lovely mods has missing dependencies under each mod that's causing an issue, you need to install those missing mods

[vagrant grail]

ok, thx

[vagrant grail]

but how i do that

[shut crater]

the same way you installed the other 17 mods

[sonic cedar]

i didnt even see the dependency error

[shut crater]

this is also the developer channel, you should be asking in #⚙・modding-general

[sonic cedar]

oh well now it seems obvious

[wind steppe]

is this balanced

[sonic cedar]

pretty sure that's jimbo but ok

[scarlet imp]

make sure it can't go below 0, but yeah I'd say so

[wind steppe]

its food joker

[scarlet imp]

pairs super well with vagabond

[wind steppe]

delicious jimbo (havent made texture yet)

[ancient plinth]

How should I go about inserting the ectoplasm code into this joker I am trying to make?

The joker is a combination of Invis and Ectoplasm btw, you sell it after 3 rounds to give a random editionless joker negative

[shut crater]

it's a bit convoluted

[vagrant grail]

of which console are you talking about?

[shut crater]

go to #⚙・modding-general for questions about installing mods

#💻・modding-dev is for making mods

[shut crater]

what do you want it to do?

[ancient plinth]

This

[plush depot]

is there a way to change the tag color of the thing that says "Free Diddy"? (its the display name for the mod not just a badge)

[scarlet imp]

nahh

insane joker

[plush depot]

yeah

but is there a way

[wind steppe]

yes

[plush depot]

🙏

tell

[wind steppe]

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

[ancient plinth]

Are we just not gonna talk about the name?

[wind steppe]

which one

[ancient plinth]

Look below Common

At the mod name

[wind steppe]

oh

no we're not

[ancient plinth]

Understandable

[plush depot]

that was placeholder

[ancient plinth]

Btw

[plush depot]

or should i keep it like that?

[ancient plinth]

No

[plush depot]

ok

its now "Jimmy B Mod"

[shut crater]

I have the code to create a random editionless joker in my mod, I'll grab the link in a sec. You would just put that in your calculate function in the selling context (don't remember off the top of my head)

[frosty rampart]

no i think they want it to act like ectoplasm when you sell the joker (i.e. it gives negative to a random editionless joker you already own)

[ancient plinth]

Yes

[shut crater]

ah I see

[wind steppe]

paste in the whole code

(just for the joker)

[keen loom]

why am i receiving a nil value error?

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

                        xmult_count = xmult_count + 0.2

    end,
}```

[ancient plinth]

From which to what lines?

[plush depot]

it didnt wokr

[wind steppe]

from the start of SMODS.Joker{ to the closing bracket for the same thing

should be line 136 onward

[keen loom]

HEX("50C878")

[plush depot]

what

[ancient plinth]

How much of ectoplasm do I copy and paste?

[wind steppe]

not ectoplasm

your joker

ecto is freely available on vanillaremade

[scarlet imp]

🙏

[keen loom]

you wrote it wrong, replace it with what i wrote

[plush depot]

ok

my jokers gone now

i dont think either of us are right

[shut crater]

try G.TIMERS.REAL for your time value

[sonic cedar]

it worked

[keen loom]

you definitely messed up something with the code, check again

[scarlet imp]

how does it increment? just want to know to make sure the calcs are done correctly

[shut crater]

you don't need HEX for the badge_colour

[shut crater]

no clue

[ancient plinth]

Btw the dark edition text color doesn't work, so let me know if you figure out what's wrong

[plush depot]

do u still ned parenthesees

[keen loom]

oh, it's in a different format i'm not used to, my bad

[plush depot]

ur good

[wind steppe]

replace

local jokers = {}
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i] ~= card then

[shut crater]

no, but it's colour not color

[wind steppe]

yeah it should be {C:dark_edition}

[plush depot]

are we fr

[wind steppe]

balatro is british unfortunately 😢

[keen loom]

anyone could help me with this?

[vale plinth]

Lmaaoo

[plush depot]

we are fr

[wind steppe]

show us the rest of the error

also what line number is the start of loc_vars?

[shut crater]

for the things that you're adding to the info_queue, do their descriptions have #1# in them?

[plush depot]

anyone know what the mod is called for spawning in jokers or blinds when u need

[scarlet imp]

G.TIMERS.REAL seems to increment based on events executed, whenever the queue is size 1, the joker's chips don't change, but whenever an event occurs it decreases

[wind steppe]

DebugPlus

[plush depot]

ty

[wind steppe]

i think info_queue needs the modprefix

[keen loom]

yes, but one of them is in an external description

[ancient plinth]

How does this look?

[wind steppe]

indent lines 172 through 180

[shut crater]

that looks like a joker description, so you probably shouldn't have set = "Other" in what you're adding to info_queue

try using set = "Joker" instead

[ancient plinth]

I did two indents each

[wind steppe]

one more time i mean

[keen loom]

where do i put that?

[scarlet imp]

lines 27 and 28

[ancient plinth]

So one or three times total?

[wind steppe]

three times total

[scarlet imp]

highlight those lines and press tab lol

[ancient plinth]

I did the stuff

Should I test it now?

K

[keen loom]

now ability is the nil value now

[wind steppe]

are they both joker descriptions?

[keen loom]

nope, those are in "other" descriptions in localization file

[ancient plinth]

Also, how do I do the currently number/number text that some jokers have? Like Yorick or Loyalty Card?

[wind steppe]

loc_vars

[shut crater]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#loc_vars

[shut crater]

where do those descriptions show up usually? Where do they usually get their #1# and #2# vars from?

[keen loom]

oh wait, i think i found the problem

[ancient plinth]

Brb

Dinner is ready

[sonic cedar]

will this work

[keen loom]

does it not update for external descriptions?

[wind steppe]

i dont think G.GAME.chudhit is real

[sonic cedar]

you dont say

[wind steppe]

so no

it'll prob just be nil

[sonic cedar]

ok but

[wind steppe]

hm

it might work then

https://tryitands.ee

[sonic cedar]

say nomore

[keen loom]

this is what i am trying to do, the third vars is supposed to be for the external description

[sonic cedar]

tried it and saw (it didnt work)

[wind steppe]

what r u trying to do with this joker

[sonic cedar]

gains x mult if you score a probability

[wind steppe]

any probabilty?

[shut crater]

so don't do #3#, that doesn't do what you think it does. Do #1# and then add a vars section to the info_queue lines, so something like this:
info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {set = "Other", key = "brave_effect", vars = { whatever_value_you_want } }

[sonic cedar]

right now it's the three consumables

[shut crater]

there is no builtin support for this

or more accurately there is no way to track down every probability check in the game

[wind steppe]

fym three

[sonic cedar]

if i can tie an unlock condition to failing on the wheel of fortune, what's stopping me

[wind steppe]

i can only think of one probability consumable

regardless if its limited you could just take ownership of each consumable

and check for the joker in question when failing the roll

[shut crater]

if you're targeting a specific card that's fine, but if you want an effect that triggers any time any probability effect succeeds, you cannot do that in a way that is compatible with other mods

[plush depot]

guys can someone help me understand whats wrong with this code so far

SMODS.Atlas{
key = 'JimboFather',
path = 'JimboFather.png',
px = 71,
py = 95
}
SMODS.Joker{
key = "jimbofather",
loc_txt = {
name = 'Jimbos Father',
text = {
'{X:mult,C:white}X#-2#{} Mult'
}
},
atlas = 'JimboFather',
pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
config = {
extra = {
Xmult = -2
}
},
loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
return {vars = {center.ability.extra.Xmult}}
end,
calculate = function(self,card,context)
if context.joker_main then
return {
card = card,
Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
message = 'X' .. card.ability.extra.Xmult,
coulour = G.C.MULT
}
end

    if context.setting_blind then
        local new_card = create_card('Joker', G.jokers, nil,nil,nil,nil, 'j_joker')
        new_Card:add_to_deck()
        G.jokers:emplace(new_card)
    end
end

}

oops didnt mean to send it like that

[spice wadi]

You should send the error

[plush depot]

its not an error my joker says Xnil

[shut crater]

can you describe what's wrong or post a crash log

[wind steppe]

replace #-2# in the description with #1#

[sonic cedar]

"X#-2#{} Mult"

[wind steppe]

the #-2# isn't the actual number it shows its what index in loc_vars it looks at

[spice wadi]

^^^
By putting -2 there it's looking for the -2nd variable in the loc list (which doesn't exist)

[plush depot]

alr gotcga

thx guys

[sturdy compass]

Why negative Xmult tho?

[sonic cedar]

oh thats what you meant
no ik that already

[plush depot]

frick

[sonic cedar]

fatherless

[plush depot]

this happened when i hit play

[sonic cedar]

change center to card

[plush depot]

ok

[shut crater]

that won't fix the error though

[sonic cedar]

it wouldve been an issue later

[sturdy compass]

Oh

[sonic cedar]

oh

[sturdy compass]

[shut crater]

how so?

[plush depot]

😔

[shut crater]

too british that time

[sturdy compass]

Honestly you could just make your return table this and it'd do the exact same thing:

return {
   x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
}```

[sonic cedar]

a joker returning center.ability.extra.xmult

[sonic cedar]

what do you mean global

[plush depot]

this part?

[sturdy compass]

change the center field in your loc_vars function to card

[sturdy compass]

yes

[plush depot]

id id

[spice wadi]

Both of them

In the arguments for loc_vars you put center as well

[shut crater]

center is just a variable name, you could call it frumpus and lua would understand as long as you're consistent

[spice wadi]

I think you should read through the smods wiki and the VanillaRemade examples

[sturdy compass]

You could but in terms of standards it's painful

[shut crater]

no I completely agree, I just wanted to correct the misunderstanding

[sturdy compass]

gotcha

[plush depot]

now it says this

[keen loom]

it's not working

[sonic cedar]

what if you sent the code again but formatted

[plush depot]

ok

[sonic cedar]

like what you have now

[plush depot]

how do i do that again

[sonic cedar]

three backticks

at the beginning and end

```lua
(paste code here)
```

[spice wadi]

```lua

[plush depot]

what

like this??

[sonic cedar]

NOT IN THE CODE 😭

[plush depot]

oh

its my first time guys 😔

[sonic cedar]

youre good

formatting it for discord is what i meant

[plush depot]

    key = 'JimboFather',
    path = 'JimboFather.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}
SMODS.Joker{
    key = "jimbofather",
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Jimbos Father',
        text = {
            '{X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'JimboFather',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    config = { 
        extra = {
        Xmult = -2
    }
},
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.Xmult}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
            }
        end

        if context.setting_blind then
            local new_card = create_card('Joker', G.jokers, nil,nil,nil,nil, 'j_joker')
            new_Card:add_to_deck()
            G.jokers:emplace(new_card)
        end
    end
}```

did it work

[sturdy compass]

yes

[sonic cedar]

enough

[plush depot]

yay

[shut crater]

show current code

[keen totem]

what do yall think about this joker

[plush depot]

are they really

[keen totem]

yes

[plush depot]

j and k

wow

[keen totem]

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

[keen loom]

wait, i think now it works

[sonic cedar]

change x_mult to Xmult

[sturdy compass]

x_mult works too

that's not the problem

[sonic cedar]

wait i did it backwards again

disregard

[sturdy compass]

lmao

[keen totem]

all of these work

[scarlet imp]

you can undo the illusion by using your fingers to block out the rest of the image

they are indeed the same

[plush depot]

gee wizz whats wrong with it doc

[sonic cedar]

i know i just flipped the sentence around 😭

[keen loom]

the original illusion worked because the letters were the same color, and this isn't getting the same effect

[plush depot]

give it to me straight doc

is it a new deformity

[keen totem]

theyre also the same color

[sturdy compass]

I am genuinely confused as to why this isn't working

[sonic cedar]

same

hold on

are you making sure to start a new run

[plush depot]

doctor what happened

[sonic cedar]

like youre not continuing from the same run are you

[sturdy compass]

true

[plush depot]

no

[sonic cedar]

ok good

[keen totem]

also i just tested, negative mult works

[plush depot]

i just got a new error message

[keen totem]

its new_card not new_Card

[plush depot]

oops

imagine that was the problem

this entire time

[sturdy compass]

It wasn't

[sonic cedar]

wouldnt explain the index error

[plush depot]

IT WORKS

IT WAS THE ERROR

[sonic cedar]

are you serious

[plush depot]

yes 😭

[keen totem]

.mkv

[wind steppe]

error reporting sucks sometimes

[sonic cedar]

can someone helperino here? just a hint maybe? #1367354388540297246 message

[scarlet imp]

how can I paste a clip lol

never done that before

[sonic cedar]

just send an mp4

or mov

[wind steppe]

remux recordings in obs to mp4

[keen loom]

uh... it's not supposed to say X0 mult

[plush depot]

COOKIE RUN KINGDOM

[sonic cedar]

gingerbright is not in crk

[plush depot]

fake ahh cookies

skater cookie

gingerdozer

[sonic cedar]

fake fan

[plush depot]

witchberry

[sturdy compass]

Oooo an Isaac mod

[sonic cedar]

bro reset the playing card

[scarlet imp]

it resets every card for some reason

[plush depot]

yeah it was supposed to do-15 therer right

not -285

[shut crater]

so probably the line xmult_count = xmult_count + 1 is not being reached

[scarlet imp]

the chips part worked as intended

[plush depot]

oh

[scarlet imp]

its not supposed to reset every card

[sonic cedar]

i was goofin

[scarlet imp]

if G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.boss and context.end_of_round and not context.game_over then
    card.ability.extra.cards_played = 0
    card.ability.extra.chips = 300
    return {
        message = localize("k_reset"),
        colour = G.C.BLUE
    }
end

reset code

[sturdy compass]

What does your end_of_round check look like?

Ope lol

[sonic cedar]

i think it looks like that astra

[sturdy compass]

I think you're right

[wind steppe]

why do they spawn with an edition when this is my create_card

                local card = SMODS.create_card({
                    set = 'Joker',
                    area = G.jokers,
                    key = 'j_para_bonnie',
                    no_edition = true,
                    stickers = {"eternal"}
                })

(only sometimes)

[wild escarp]

Can someone help me out with this crash? Only thing I did was add some stuff for a spectral.

[sturdy compass]

anyways you need to specify and not context.individual and not context.repetition in that check

[shut crater]

and context.cardarea == G.Jokers

[sturdy compass]

That also works

[shut crater]

oh or that

[wind steppe]

why not both

[shut crater]

well that would just be silly

[spice wadi]

From memory isn't context.main_eval equivalent to this or did I misunderstand it again

[shut crater]

bro contexts are so cursed

[sturdy compass]

probably misunderstood

[keen totem]

i fixed it

(even tho they alr were)

but i made them the same color as in the image

[spice wadi]

Wdym 😭

[keen loom]

now it works. previous version was barely visible

[scarlet imp]

thanks dog

[sturdy compass]

What I mean is I have no idea what that question you're asking means 😭

[wind steppe]

why do they spawn with an edition sometimes when this is my create_card

                local card = SMODS.create_card({
                    set = 'Joker',
                    area = G.jokers,
                    key = 'j_para_bonnie',
                    no_edition = true,
                    stickers = {"eternal"}
                })

[sonic cedar]

maybe they're spawning in their own way

[scarlet imp]

yeah if anyone ever has ideas for TBOI jokers, let me know (preferably passive items, gonna work on implementing an active item function later on)

[wind steppe]

what does that mean

they're my joker btw they do nothing with editions

[sonic cedar]

oh lmao nvm

oh wait

just set edition to the base i think

cause no_edition is for random

[wind steppe]

would that be edition = base?

[north swallow]

guys how do i add probabilities into a joker

im stupid

[wind steppe]

i can't test because editions arent that common

how do you put a code block without it starting a new line

[sonic cedar]

for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.probabilities) do
    G.GAME.probabilities[k] = v (do whatever math you wanna do to v here)
end

[sonic cedar]

wdym

[wind steppe]

in discord

when i do that it always is on a new line

[sonic cedar]

you mean like this?

[wind steppe]

yes like that

[sonic cedar]

one backtick

[north swallow]

how does this work exactly?
do i do 'G.GAME.probabilities[k] = v 50/50'?

[sonic cedar]

50/50 is 1

if you want it to be halved probability

you want v/2

think of v as 1 here

[north swallow]

alright so if i want a 50/50 chance i do
for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.probabilities) do
G.GAME.probabilities[k] = v/2
end

just like that?

[ancient plinth]

Back

[sonic cedar]

well no you want to use pseudorandom in that case

[wind steppe]

what's the key for base edition

[north swallow]

and where would i put that

???

[keen totem]

e_base i would assume

[sonic cedar]

iirc yea

[wind steppe]

                local card = SMODS.create_card({
                    set = 'Joker',
                    area = G.jokers,
                    key = 'j_para_bonnie',
                    edition = e_base,
                    stickers = {"eternal"}
                })
``` this also does not stop bonnie from spawning with an edition

[keen loom]

ok, wtf, why is it calculating differently when the other cards are not gingerbrave?

[wintry basin]

I’m still requesting Milky Way cookie and strawberry shortcake cookie

[keen loom]

the one will all braves starts with first triggering their own base mult, then trigger +2 mult for each card BEFORE moving to next card
the one with 4 brights starts the same, but the +2 mult triggers each time AFTER the other joker completes their skill

[keen totem]

hello

discord is being evil and wont let me post images

[lucid owl]

@pure salmon here's how i did it, pretty simple patch that involves a card modifier (but can be easily changed to any variable that you can set on a card)

i'm assuming you're doing it for blinds

[keen totem]

but i want you to know that my mod has a line that has a column 40132

[keen loom]

modding takes time

[lucid owl]

but also, here's how i did it for challenges just in case @pure salmon

[pure salmon]

it's for a joker, prevents face-down draws and force-flipping cards

[limber obsidian]

Yo, i have tried everything to my knowledge but i cant seem to make a card that has a 1 in 10 chance to go extinct and give you 200$. I would show what i got so far but i kinda crashed out and deleted the mod file so i had remake everything, anyone know how to make it?

[wind steppe]

how would i stop a joker from spawning with an edition (using SMODS.create_card)
setting the edition to base manually and no_edition = true both don't work

[lucid owl]

you could substitute and not (LR_UTIL.has_marking(card) == "fmod_ink_mark") to and not SMODS.find_card("j_joker_key_here")

[keen totem]

so you can just compress an entire lua file into one line

so i did

[shut crater]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L1635

[keen totem]

because

fuck readability

[wind steppe]

who needs obfuscation

[sonic cedar]

pseudorandom('seed name', 1, 2)

[wind steppe]

just do this

[shut crater]

is that also why you send every message on its own line while people are trying to solve problems

[limber obsidian]

?

[solid mesa]

idk how you guys can read lua code without be lost

[keen totem]

thats just how i type in discord

[wild escarp]

Anyone able to help me with this?

[wind steppe]

bump

[shut crater]

cavendish has all the ingredients for what you're doing except the $200, so start with that code and once you get it working add in the functionality for money

[keen totem]

and also thats why discord doesnt show the big header of your username if you do multiple messages in sucession

so you can say multiple lines

[limber obsidian]

Alright, thanks

[keen totem]

without filling up the channel

[limber obsidian]

Ill try it

[wind steppe]

wtf is the point of no_edition if it doesn't stop a joker from having an edition

[shut crater]

big brain strats

[keen totem]

regardless

who cares

you can bump questions

[shut crater]

this is a bad take

[keen totem]

its not like im spamming on purpose

[wind steppe]

adding on to this how do i stop a joker from spawning with an edition

[keen totem]

i just say stuff on several lines

because its easier to read without trying to compress an entire paragraph into one line

[wind steppe]

shift + enter

[sonic cedar]

actually far better way, and it goes in whatever context you want it to trigger in
if pseudorandom('yourseed') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds
in this case you'll set your locvar odds to 2

like if this was gros michel

if pseudorandom('vremade_gros_michel') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
--code that kills gros michel
else
--code that does safe message
end

[keen totem]

which gets across the same thing

[shut crater]

that's a good question, I've gotten weird results with some of the fields in create_card. Have you tried manually setting the edition to be editionless after creating the joker?

[keen totem]

also its because i hate people who are going
@keen totem is typing...
for 17 hours

[feral panther]

why is thunk chat removed?

[keen totem]

idk

[wind steppe]

how would i do that?

[ancient plinth]

I got around to testing my joker

[ancient plinth]

How do I fix the nil?

[wild escarp]

Can someone help me with this crash?

[wind steppe]

loc_vars

[sonic cedar]

he felt like it was forced

[shut crater]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#loc_vars

[shut crater]

gotta provide the code

[ancient plinth]

Here's what it looks like rn

[wind steppe]

description?

[keen loom]

this script is not working as intended. this is what i'm trying to do

• +4 mult when it scores
• +2 mult when each eligible joker scores (triggers before the other jokers start scoring if the other jokers are the same as itself)
• x0.1 mult when each eligible joker scores (doesn't trigger at all)

[sonic cedar]

your total and goo rounds are swapped in terms of config but idk if that's the issue

[elfin stratus]

i drew some jokers and i have no idea what to do with them

[keen totem]

shouldnt it be card.ability.extra.varName?

@ancient plinth

[elfin stratus]

any ideas for these guys?

[sonic cedar]

post them in #🎨・fan-art methinks

[keen loom]

anyone knows why it's not working as intended?

[sonic cedar]

where did they not

[keen totem]

oh wait nvm

i thought the config was loc_vars

[ancient plinth]

What do I do?

[sonic cedar]

did flipping them work

that's all i can see really

[ancient plinth]

flipping the order of the total and joker rounds?

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[ancient plinth]

Gonna try that

[scarlet imp]

can someone link the SMODS.rarity page?

[wind steppe]

is this balanced

[clever rose]

hey, im making a joker that when sold halves the number of chips required by the boss blind, is there a variable i can access or way i can change the visible chips required? i've got the joker functioning fine, but i'd like to give a more clear visual cue for the player

[scarlet imp]

seems very weak considering its cost tbh

[scarlet imp]

like declaring a custom rarity

[sonic cedar]

did you mean link

[scarlet imp]

oh yeah mb

[wind steppe]

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

[sonic cedar]

ok but *remove the embed

[wind steppe]

how

[sonic cedar]

hover over it and click the x

[wind steppe]

how about now

[thorn furnace]

My custom rarity does not appear to be cooperating

[scarlet imp]

Seems good lol, I like my Jokers insanely broken

[ancient plinth]

Still nil

[keen loom]

when does context.post_joker occurs?

[sonic cedar]

why is that there

[sonic cedar]

youre never gonna believe this

[ancient plinth]

Idk, but I moved it

[sonic cedar]

like deleted it or

[keen loom]

like... after each joker or after all jokers?

[ancient plinth]

At the end

[thorn furnace]

i mean it does say it's used for triggering editions so probably in that same level of priority

[sonic cedar]

y,, you didnt close off your calculate before?

[keen loom]

i tried using it and it did nothing

[shut crater]

what's all the main_end stuff?

[ancient plinth]

I think so, that was an accident, but the nils are gone now

[keen loom]

guess i'll go the boring part and just... return the total value instead of triggering it one by one

[shut crater]

so it gives +3 mult per card triggered, but only for 50 triggers? (or 100 in the revised version)

[tawdry shale]

bump

[ancient plinth]

It works now

[wind steppe]

yup

essentially the sin jokers for everything, but for a limited time only

[shut crater]

you're increasing the xmult in an event, so it's going to get run after all the calculate code has finished

[shut crater]

seems reasonable, I think 50 would be fine, just playtest and see how you like it I guess

[tawdry shale]

i updated the code to be this but now there's no mult increase or decrease

[wintry basin]

I’m suggesting Someone to please do a antonblast face and suit skin for balatro
hearts because of red
Poker chips and heart beets = heart symbol on the cards
anton (Up = Normal ~ Down = Oni) annie (Up = Normal ~ Down = Oni) Danton (Up = Danton ~ Down = Annalyn) Nina (Up = Nina ~ Down = Brulo) = king
Brawlbuster Tallbuster Maulbuster Smallbuster = Queen
satan (Up = Normal ~ Down = Giga) jewel ghoul (Up = Jewel Ghoul ~ Down = Jewel Girl) freako dragon (Up = Freako Dragon ~ Down = Lil Freak) Ring-a-Ding (Up = Normal ~ Down = Biblical Angel) = Jack

[shut crater]

So you're setting samehand to false, then in context.before you set it to true if it was the same hand. But then the calculate function ends without running the context.joker_main code, because it's not joker_main yet.

Then later, context.joker_main happens, and samehand is set to false, but the context.before code doesn't get run, because it's not context.before anymore, it's context.joker_main now. And then your context.joker_main code gets run with samehand equalling false

[shut crater]

so basically wherever you check that it's the same hand being played, that's where you need to increase your xmult

[keen loom]

why is this not triggering at all?

[thorn furnace]

bump

[shut crater]

because you have a return statement in your for loop. Probably what's happening is that return statement is being reached before the other one, causing the function to end before the other statment is ever reached

[shut crater]

do you have a localization entry?

[thorn furnace]

I wasn't entirely sure where but I did put this in

[tawdry shale]

thank you so much you beautiful soul

[wind steppe]

replace vremade with your mods prefix

[thorn furnace]

oh

[shut crater]

I think the key for both should be k_requiem, if I'm reading the docs correctly

[shut crater]

I think no mods prefix but the docs are unclear

[thorn furnace]

that makes a lot more sense I thought it was like a keyword

[shut crater]

try both and report back

[thorn furnace]

none seemed to work

hmm

[shut crater]

show the rarity declaration?

[thorn furnace]

this?

[shut crater]

hm

yeah idk, I would expect either k_requiem or k_prefix_requiem to work

you put the k_ before both the dictionary and the label versions, right?

[thorn furnace]

surely it can't be how it's declared in the Joker file because the colour and everything else is still there

[shut crater]

yeah that looks fine to me

[keen loom]

the second part isn't working at all

[shut crater]

it has to just be an issue with the localization entry

[thorn furnace]

with and without the mod prefix

[shut crater]

I have no clue, I would try to find other mods that implement custom rarity and mimic what they do

[thorn furnace]

i was basing it off of how VanillaRemade does it

[shut crater]

one last thing, where is the misc = located?

[thorn furnace]

uhh

(I changed it back to triple check)

[shut crater]

it's possible that context.post_trigger isn't true when context.other_joker exists

yuuuuuup

it's in descriptions

it shouldn't be

[thorn furnace]

it's time for me to explode

[keen loom]

that's what confuses me about the context

[thorn furnace]

they seriously need to make it so you can collapse code on github i am so sad

[shut crater]

can you describe the goal of your joker?

I know you put it up there somewhere but I forgot

[keen loom]

• +4 mult
• +2 mult for each common joker when those score

[shut crater]

I would try just getting rid of the post_trigger check

I think context.other_joker does what you want

[wind steppe]

is this balanced
