[pale holly]

well the popup message to explain the card doesn't appear but tbh i'm already thankfull the card on itself work

[solid mesa]

what is sol?

[pale holly]

sol is the key to enhancement

[solid mesa]

like sunlight card? sounds like that

[pale holly]

pretty much

[solid mesa]

pretty strong

looks amazing too

[pale holly]

yeah, i wanted first to make it so it can also be any rank (or a unique rank) but outside of the fact i don't know how to do this, it would have also probably made the card a bit too powerful

[pale holly]

and thanks !

[solid mesa]

i love to see when people combine concepts of things
You probably don't know it, but there is an "omnirank" enchancement.

[pale holly]

i didn't knew indeed

took me a bit but it finally works

[bold sleet]

sun cards

[pale holly]

yeah that was the thing lol

[bold sleet]

I will forever react to whatever stupid bullshit I come across in english servers and is in spanish.

[solid mesa]

that is why i was asking xd

[solid mesa]

try put the flag for dialects too

[bold sleet]

I don't know dialects, sorry

-# aranés at most, and I only know it exists. I don't know how it works.

-# note: catalán, gallego, etc are not being counted as dialects

[solid mesa]

i dont know what aranés is xd

[bold sleet]

I believe it is spoken in 'el valle de Arán' or something. No clue. I am a math guy.

-# well, programming guy, actually

[solid mesa]

oh then im talking about slangs(?)

[bold sleet]

Not quite.

I am not certain if they qualify as entire languages.

If they don't, they are between being a dialect and being a language.

[solid mesa]

oh i see aranes is pre-spanish

[bold sleet]

Again, I am not the guy who knows about these things.

[bold sleet]

No.

[solid mesa]

and only talking in spain nowdays

[bold sleet]

I don't know the history of it.

Anyways.

Back to balatro modding.

[solid mesa]

ok

[rapid stag]

bump

[solid mesa]

luck on it

[bold sleet]

back to trying to help peeps with balatro modding because I ran out of shit to mod in the game that doesn't take a bajillion years.

haven't touched deck skins in my life.

That would require me to well, know how to make pixelart.

[rapid stag]

do you know anything about the other issue at least

[bold sleet]

send code snippet

and forther explain your issue.

because fuck u trying to do?

[rapid stag]

here you go, from card.lua. how invisible joker works.
am i really the only person that's run into this issue?

[bold sleet]

Hooking functions and stuff?

[rapid stag]

what?

i'm not hooking anything or changing how invisible joker works at all

it was just like this by itself

invisible joker copied a custom joker and didn't immediately switch to its atlas, instead remaining on the default atlas

i can't answer your question because i'm not really trying to do anything

[bold sleet]

Let me check with my balatro copy

[rapid stag]

invisible joker is just being weird

[bold sleet]

It works just fine for me

How do you have your joker setup?

[rapid stag]

the joker it copied? it doesn't really mess with any of the draw stuff if that's what you mean. it's set up no differently than any of my other jokers. specifies an atlas and a position. then when i want to change it to a different sprite, i adjust the x or y in the position table and then call set_sprite_pos() with it.

i don't see how that can make invisible joker not switch to the correct atlas right away

[bold sleet]

no hecking idea, tbh

[red flower]

is this with latest smods release or latest dev?

i did make a change to copy_card but it should only be for the card back

[rapid stag]

latest dev, yes

[red flower]

does it do this with the release?

[rapid stag]

yes.

i also confirmed that it does this with a different custom joker that never at any point changes its sprite. literally just specifies atlas and position and nothing else related to that

[red flower]

weird

[rapid stag]

but that also fixes on loading the run

[red flower]

do you have any other mods?

[rapid stag]

with all but the minimum inactive

[red flower]

your files are cursed

[rapid stag]

[red flower]

but kidding aside invis works well for me

idk

[rapid stag]

should i just patch a draw call after emplace in invis code

[wintry solar]

I wonder if it’s a malverk issue

[rapid stag]

tried with the texture pack off - the weird thing is that opening the malverk ui fixes the sprite

...wait, invis doesn't change itself, it makes a new card. so it isn't trying to go from one atlas to another. it's just making a copy of the card object. that's even more confusing that it does this

i don't get it.

[sturdy compass]

Just gave this a go but seemingly no dice. Here's my derivative

SMODS.DrawStep { -- Derived from Ortalab
    key = 'footprint',
    order = 35,
    func = function(self)
        if SMODS.has_enhancement(self, 'm_mxms_footprint') then
            G.shared_stickers['mxms_footprint'].draw_major = self
            G.shared_stickers['mxms_footprint']:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, self.children.center)
        end
    end,
    conditions = { facing = 'front' },
}

I tried your method of creating a Sprite variable in the DrawStep too but it yielded the same result

[outer basalt]

I am still struggling 😭 (This is continuation of me trying to make active abilitys on cards I just havent been able to work on it for 2 days)

[manic rune]

how does your code look like

[outer basalt]

i made this while religiously stealing borrowing from N's code 😭

[manic rune]

ahh icic, i implemented this to my mod too, lemme cross-ref

[outer basalt]

hell yea

[manic rune]

first thing i noticed is that this should be G.C.WHITE

another thing i noticed is that you didnt clean up use_button ui properly (this is what you should do, im p sure)

[wintry solar]

Try making sure the conditions are the same

[cyan lagoon]

i was thinking why i was getting the same 4 spectrals over and over, but this crashes if it's other than those 4

[sturdy compass]

Added the vortex = false condition and nothing changed

[manic rune]

oh, also

[wintry solar]

Can you show the code for creating the sprite?

[manic rune]

im pretty sure this will make your custom button not even showing up

[sturdy compass]

Sure thing

SMODS.Atlas { -- Main Modifiers/Backs Atlas
    key = 'Modifiers',
    path = "Modifiers.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
    inject = function(self) -- Derived from Grim
        self.full_path = (self.mod and self.mod.path or SMODS.path) .. 'assets/' .. G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.texture_scaling .. 'x/' .. self.path
        local file_data = assert(NFS.newFileData(self.full_path), ('Failed to collect file data for Atlas %s'):format(self.key))
        self.image_data = assert(love.image.newImageData(file_data), ('Failed to initialize image data for Atlas %s'):format(self.key))
        self.image = love.graphics.newImage(self.image_data, { mipmaps = true, dpiscale = G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.texture_scaling })
        G[self.atlas_table][self.key_noloc or self.key] = self
        G.shared_stickers['mxms_footprint'] = Sprite(0, 0, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, G[self.atlas_table][self.key_noloc or self.key], { x = 0, y = 4 })
    end
}

I had a print at the end of the inject function and it went off just fine. No other error messages either

[outer basalt]

its still crashing but this prolly saved me future work once the crashing is fixed 😭

[manic rune]

so you might want to have

local ret = card_highlight_ref(self, is_highlighted)

at the top first, then return it below

[red flower]

youre missing brackets here

this is mine

[manic rune]

man

i literally spotted it just earlier, i

[outer basalt]

i hate brackets 😭

[high stag]

So I know that adjusting hand size via joker is typically done via a function when the joker is added or removed

I want to have a joker add hand size based on how many jokers of a certain set are in play (sort of like how baseball card triggers per Uncommon)

what context and functions would I need to utilize? could I do it at round start like how Burglar adds hands? Or would it be better to do it at the end of each hand score count, for if someone sells one of the other Jokers during the round?

[tawdry shale]

is my SMODS outdated or am i doing something wrong

[red flower]

probably outdated

[manic rune]

what version is your smods

you cut off that part 😭

[tawdry shale]

hold on

[sturdy compass]

1404g???????????????????????

[red flower]

yeah very outdated lol

[tawdry shale]

am i grandma

oh yeah

[sturdy compass]

YES

[manic rune]

can you make me some cookies :3

[tawdry shale]

lmao

[sturdy compass]

LMAO

[tawdry shale]

sure :3

[sturdy compass]

banger

[tawdry shale]

well god damn it now i gotta reinstall

hopefully my stuff won't become outdated

[manic rune]

is there a context for when jokers are removed from deck yet

[wintry solar]

Try getting rid of this inject function and just making the sprite in the drawstep like my version did

[outer basalt]

I always feel conflicted when i get a new crash. is this me having fixed the old crash to discover new crashes, or have I made it worse.

[sturdy compass]

I did already try that and it gave the same results, but I'll try it again

[manic rune]

you could try having some if statement checks in calculate without contexts to increase/decrease hand-size, theres context.card_added for when jokers are added but none for checking when jokers are removed (afaik), so

hopefully someone will correct me :3

[outer basalt]

my (probably jank) intuition would be to have a list compare the list of jokers previously to the list of jokers now after a card has been sold and to see if its been changed ?

[cyan lagoon]

bump

[sturdy compass]

Aha there we go. Plenty thanks

[tawdry shale]

just out of curiousity how old is that version

[sturdy compass]

Now to figure out how to make it not stay in place on hover cuz this just looks odd

[sturdy compass]

Probably a few months

[wintry solar]

It’ll need the right args passing to draw shader

[sturdy compass]

I'm referencing the drawstep code for seals and stickers rn and it doesn't look like they have different args?

[wintry solar]

Huh

[sturdy compass]

Huh indeed

This is the main line I'm looking at since I'm pretty sure that's the actual sprite while the second one is for the shine

[pure salmon]

is anyone familiar with the plasma deck balancing code? i have this and it works but visually has no effect. what functions does plasma use for juice?

[red flower]

this is plasma but only for chips?

[pure salmon]

adds mult to chips

[wintry solar]

You can just return balance = true if you want to balance the mult and chips

[pure salmon]

i mean the visuals, like the balanced text etc.

[red flower]

you can search for if key == 'balance' then in the smods utils to see the visuals

[pure salmon]

thank you

[sturdy compass]

Aha found it! Forgot this little bit here

[outer basalt]

its pointing to line 61 (function line)

actually. its the local ret line

[wintry solar]

What is that line supposed to be for

[outer basalt]

hook (?)

[manic rune]

what "ret" are you returning here 🤔

wait nvm

no, thats not what i told you to do

[red flower]

yeah that's not how hooks work

[outer basalt]

😭

[manic rune]

^

[outer basalt]

peak understanding

by top do you mean in the function or above the function

[manic rune]

in the function

anything below local ret = ... means the code runs after everything in the initial function has already been run, which means your buttons wont be overridden

[outer basalt]

gotcha

[wintry solar]

Before the function too is wrong

[cyan lagoon]

why does this only create the fallback card?

though that also creates the 4 cards i commented

[outer basalt]

okay it didn't crash on start up but when i clicked new run. pointing to line 62 which is

[manic rune]

wheres card_highlight_ref

please dont tell me you removed that sob

[outer basalt]

i might be a little dumb

the comment is there for a reason LMAO

[manic rune]

😭

honestly ur doing much better than me when i first started, N' can confirm

keep going :3

[red flower]

i cant you were always amazing

[manic rune]

ignore whatever the man above me has said

oh wait

[manic rune]

move this up here

if you place it there, it will always remove the buttons sob

oh wait, not there

uhh inside the if statements to create the new buttons

:3

[keen loom]

why is my description empty?

[outer basalt]

higlighted ????
ive looked through my code and I dont see that typo on my end but also highlighted isnt looking like a word anymore

[manic rune]

your localization is set up wrong

[outer basalt]

its not even the variable causeing the crash im just 😭 i think im going insane

one could say

even crashing out

[manic rune]

insane? i was insane once

[manic rune]

can you show me the new code again

[outer basalt]

I like havent changed anythign ive just been looking at higlighted in the crash log 😭

[manic rune]

[keen loom]

this is how the description look in the localization file

                name = 'Skater Cookie',
                text = {
                '{C:chips}+#1#{} Chips, {C:mult}X#2#{} Mult',
                'Gain {C:chips}+#3#{} Chips for each card played,',
                'and {C:mult}X#4#{} Mult at end of round.',
                '{C:inactive}(Currently {C:chips}+#5#{}{C:inactive} Chips, {C:mult}X#6#{}{C:inactive} Mult{}'
                },
            },```

[red flower]

i do fix the typo of highlighted in my code

[outer basalt]

im going to rewrite the entirety of balatro to fix this. - artist who came to front just to air his greivances

[manic rune]

😭

[manic rune]

did you fix caino too

[red flower]

no

that's their name

[manic rune]

...$10???

i think i might have a career idea going on here

[outer basalt]

oh shit i never thought of making balatro jokers irl < has a deck of cards im customizing

in my defense I started the project before i played balatro i just love cards

[manic rune]

anyways, do the fixes i told you :3

[outer basalt]

uhh i gotta go do something rq ill be back in like 5

[manic rune]

the joker's key is CRB_skater?

-# but also, i dont recommend having uppercase letters in keys, i still cant remember why but someone told me so

[keen loom]

i fixed it somehow

anyways, i'm so not enthusiastic about somehow implementing an element type system

[onyx sonnet]

that is indeed his sell value

[north swallow]

how would i make it so that this code plays a different sound effect if it has a certain edition?

[outer basalt]

I am back 😎

[manic rune]

elaborate

im hooked

[outer basalt]

im going to have beef with this goddang button

[daring fern]

What is that line in the dump?

[daring fern]

You need to set the reference to Card.highlight then you just return ret

[outer basalt]

wdym by set the reference?

oh nvm i think i figured it out 😭

[north swallow]

does anyone know why opening this booster pack crashes the game?

[outer basalt]

check the line its pointing to. I think you called a function that wants a table?

[north swallow]

that page has 57 lines

[wintry solar]

What card is it supposed to contain

[north swallow]

its supposed to contain jokers of the "sahur" type

[outer basalt]

I mean Functions/common_events.lua

[lyric wadi]

chat how do you check what a different joker returns

[north swallow]

thats like a lovely file

[wintry solar]

And have you actually created that type?

[north swallow]

not a file of my mod

[lyric wadi]

like i want to check not just when the joker to the left triggers, but specifically what it's doing

[north swallow]

yup, every joker has

[lyric wadi]

e.g. i want to check if a joker to its left is returning a +mult, +gold, or +chip,

how would i do that

[shut crater]

The error is coming from that line, so even though it's not in your mod, something about your mod is causing that line to throw an exception. Looking at that file can help you understand where the issue is coming from.

Better yet, if you showed the whole stack trace of your error, we could see the function that you're calling and pinpoint the exact line in your file that's causing the error

Now probably it's just that you've set up something wrong with your set

[wintry solar]

I’m 99% sure it’s an issue with trying to create a card of the custom set but I don’t have access to my source code rn

[shut crater]

But it would be good practice to learn to read the stack trace

[shut crater]

Do you mean it's an issue on SMODS end?

[wintry solar]

No

[shut crater]

Ok that's what I thought

[wintry solar]

My guess is that the set just isn’t a thing

But I haven’t done any custom sets for anything so I’m not 109%

[normal crest]

Did you create the ObjectType

[outer basalt]

colour error..
I did find one color in my code but i fixed it but the crash did not change at all

[shut crater]

Is creating a new objecttype the best way to create a subset of jokers? I've never done anything like that

[red flower]

you know how the other crash was because you needed to nest a node in brackets? this one is likely the opposite

[normal crest]

To my knowledge that's the best way to create a custom pool of jokers

[outer basalt]

i dont eben know what to say. brackets man

[red flower]

i see these two crashes a lot lol

[north swallow]

wdymbt?

[normal crest]

To create a custom set that you can spawn using create_card, as an example, declaring the pool in the joker definiton is not enough

You have to also define an SMODS.ObjectType which should be on the wiki

[north swallow]

ohhhh

ok ik what you're talking about

hold on let me try that

yup! it was that

[shut crater]

In create_card you have set = "sahur". set is for a type of card, like Joker or Tarot or Spectral. My understanding is that if you want to make "sahur" a set, you need to create an ObjectType that represents this whole new type of card (even though they'll still just act like jokers)

[north swallow]

i forgot i had to SMODS.ObjectType

ty all

[brittle tide]

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

[normal crest]

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

[brittle tide]

Thank you

[normal crest]

To update the texr

You can also G.GAME.blind:wiggle() to make it move

Tho it's not very visible

[outer basalt]

any tips 😭 i only see one where the brackets can be removed but then i get the nest a node crash again

[red flower]

idk i would need to see the code

[tawdry shale]

i'm trying to make a spectral card that applies a custom seal but i'm getting this error (i didn't code the seal stuff yet it's just visuals)

[red flower]

im pretty sure the root shouldn't be nested

[red flower]

the one i told you that needs the brackets is the C node

[red flower]

modprefix_soul_seal

[normal crest]

In set_seal ^

[outer basalt]

smthn like this?

[red flower]

you're still missing the ones in the nodes =

nodes = { { n = G.UIT.C, ...} }

[outer basalt]

?

[red flower]

here i mean in the screenshot i sent before

i never looked at the earlier part of the code

[outer basalt]

😭

[red flower]

this is one too deep haha

[outer basalt]

okay now i understand 😭 I need like. youtube red arrows to point for me LMAO

ABSOLUTE W (ignore the fact its bright yellow. i vastly misunderstood the colour crash 😭)

the sell button kinda died i guess but i think having my own sets precedence in excitement

(also i kinda predicted that it would vanish but I have an idea on how to fix)

[hybrid shadow]

how do i make a planet card show up after playing the hand type, similar to the vanilla ones that use a secret hand

[normal crest]

In the planet config set softlock = true

[hybrid shadow]

is this all i need then, excluding the stuff that goes in the localization file

[normal crest]

You're missing a position for the sprite

[hybrid shadow]

lemme double check if my other cards that have an atlas of just one card needed a position in order to work

[red flower]

they dont

it defaults to 0, 0

[normal crest]

yeah in that case you don't need it

[red flower]

hi srockw how are u doing

[modern kindle]

Super cool people in chat rn

[normal crest]

hi n I'm super boredd

[red flower]

no u

[keen loom]

i worked so hard on my 4 jokers, only for them to be too op 😭

[red flower]

awww thats sad

[modern kindle]

U da super cool
I hope you are well :D

[red flower]

make another 100 bad ones to compensate

[normal crest]

But they work, which is the most important part

[keen loom]

these are commons!

[red flower]

make more common commons

[keen loom]

and i haven't even implemented the element system

[outer basalt]

Good news and bad news

[keen loom]

i didn't knew these 4 will stack up the score too much, it's around 12k if positioned properly

[devout badger]

okay guys I'm new to modding and I need to know if I'm stupid rq

[red flower]

lol

[outer basalt]

hit us. you can't be worse than me cough

[normal crest]

The only one thst feels really strong to me is skater cookie

[devout badger]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.sum = ( card.ability.extra.sum + context.other_card:get_id() )
                return {
                    card = self
                }
        end
        
            if context.joker_main then
                card.ability.extra.root = ( card.ability.extra.sum % 9 )
                if card.ability.extra.root == 0 then
                    return {
                        mult_mod = card.ability.extra.nine,
                        card = self
                    }
                else
                    return { card = self }
            
            end

        end
    end``` whenever I try to score this

I get this

[normal crest]

card = self is the issue

[lyric wadi]

happy with this concept but it does feel a bit much

what do you think

[devout badger]

which one

[normal crest]

Both

All 3

Didn't see the first one

[devout badger]

ok now it doesn't crash on scoring

and the reason it wasn't scoring was because I somehow wrote mod_mult in the return instead of mult

can I use context.pre_joker safely to trigger something after context.individual but before context.joker_main

[normal crest]

I think pre_joker is for editions

[devout badger]

I need to trigger an upgrade after iterating through the scoring hand with context.individual so it can't go in context.before

[normal crest]

The scoring hand is available during context.before

Unless you want to do something whenever a card scores?

[devout badger]

but then I'd have to iterate through it manually instead of using other_card

[daring fern]

What's the problem with that?

[devout badger]

I don't know lua syntax

[normal crest]

its an opportunity to learn then

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
end

[devout badger]

I assume v is value here

[pure salmon]

i usually substitute v for playing_card

makes it a bit more obvious what it's referring to

[devout badger]

is k the loop index or suit

[red flower]

i use pcard because im lazy

[pure salmon]

index

starts at 1 (thanks LUA)

[normal crest]

i use v cus I'm lazy

[daring fern]

k is either the name of the value or the index.

[normal crest]

Also that'd be the case if using ipairs

Pairs just loops thru all the keys regardless of if they're numbers or not

[pure salmon]

nvm i always use ipairs instead, which i think is better if you know your list is integer-indexed

[normal crest]

yep it is

[devout badger]

I can just lua for index, playing_card in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do card.ability.extra.sum = card.ability.extra.sum + playing_card:get_id() end right

[upper onyx]

is there a way to use create_card to make a joker without it showing up? just save it to a variable for use in the code later? if not, is there a way to immediately and silently delete the joker afterwards?

[devout badger]

why does lua not have +=

[left fox]

why would you even use that

[red flower]

card.states.visible = false

[pure salmon]

if you want a sum of ranks and not of IDs i would use playing_card.base.nominal

[red flower]

to not write the variable twice?

[left fox]

Are there any good guides for modding balatro and where to get started and stuff

[red flower]

yeah check the pinned post in #⚙・modding-general

[daring fern]

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

[left fox]

It looks pretty and nice

[pure salmon]

are we pretending like the python +=, -=, *=, and /= operators aren't super useful and improve code legibility

[red flower]

python is even missing ++

[devout badger]

☝️🤓 , erm those are from C

[pure salmon]

python has them now, also C is archaic and i don't like it

grrrr low-level languages

[devout badger]

i would use python more if it didn't make whitespace part of the syntax

[outer basalt]

i've only really every used python </3

anyways. how to make the buttons.... better (same size. etc.)

And center the text 😭

[red flower]

uhh cant you just copy my code lol

[outer basalt]

I tried 😭

[outer basalt]

I lied. I have used HTML and CSS. none of whihc is helping me comprehend this UI shinanigans LMAO

[devout badger]

if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
    
    for index, playing_card in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do

is my loop set up wrong

[clever rose]

hey, im trying to get the entire description of a joker to change when a condition is met, but i wouldnt know how to update the text, is there a function or variable to change to accomplish this?

[normal crest]

you're overriding the sum immediately after calculating it

oh nevermind

[devout badger]

that's intended to reset it for next time

[outer basalt]

okay okay turns out i missed a node in there, the sell button is looking more normal

[normal crest]

why are you asking if it's wrong? are you getting an error?

[devout badger]

it doesn't trigger the upgrade when I play a 9 high card

[red flower]

return a localization key in loc_vars

[normal crest]

are you setting the sum to 0 before the loop

[sonic cedar]

do you use context.main_eval for xmult gain? i want a joker's xmult to gain to trigger outside of scoring, and if a global variable is a certain value

[normal crest]

you'd upgrade the joker when you modify the global variable

[devout badger]

it's initialised to 0 and set to 0 after the loop but I'll try moving it to before

[tawdry shale]

i'm trying to make this seal give x9 mult when there are 0 hands left and the score is less than the blind requires, whenever i hover over the card it crashes

[normal crest]

either by creating your own context or manually looping thru the jokers owned and checking if it's the one

[normal crest]

make sure to get a new copy of your seal if you've modified the config

[tawdry shale]

wdym get a new copy of your seal

[daring fern]

Start a new run?

[normal crest]

re-apply the seal or apply it to a different card

[tawdry shale]

tried this and it still crashes

[normal crest]

is it the same crash

[tawdry shale]

line 937 is in loc_vars btw

forgot to mention

[tawdry shale]

yeah

[daring fern]

It needs to be card.ability.seal.extra.Xmult

[tawdry shale]

thank u so so much

[wintry swallow]

how do I get the current amount of money the player has?

[daring fern]

(G.GAME.dollars + (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0))

[zealous glen]

not sufficient

also needs the buffer

[zealous glen]

thunk writes it as though the buffer might not exist, so usually people do nil handling

[outer basalt]

what is the key for blackhole

[daring fern]

c_black_hole

[outer basalt]

awsolme

[wintry swallow]

how do I compare the money to a number? because when I do something like" (G.GAME.dollars + (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0)) <= 0" the game just crashes

[daring fern]

(to_big(G.GAME.dollars) + (to_big(G.GAME.dollar_buffer) or to_big(0))) <= to_big(0)?

[wind steppe]

do you have talisman

[wintry swallow]

yeah.

[wind steppe]

first reply you got should work

didnt notice it

[wintry swallow]

still crashes :(

[daring fern]

Log?

[wintry swallow]

I will also send code real quick

[sonic cedar]

ok but im modifying it through an ownership, so is it still possible?

[hybrid shadow]

is k_planet_q the default badge for planet cards?

[latent raven]

Hi, im currently trying to fix my friends mess of code. its supposed to upgrade the joker with a +1 mult increase when diamond suit cards are scored and also destroy them after scoring

I might need help with this

[wind steppe]

why are there so many comments

[latent raven]

I dont know where my friend got them.

[hybrid shadow]

card.ability.extra.suit

[wind steppe]

this reads like someone who's writing code to be read by someone who knows nothing about programming

[hybrid shadow]

its missing from the is_suit

[wind steppe]

actually reading through this maybe you just scrap the code and rewrite it

none of this does what it says it does

[latent raven]

yeah

[wind steppe]

wtf's going on with the remove_from_deck

[latent raven]

idk 😭

[wind steppe]

does the game crash when you sell this joker?

[latent raven]

probably

[wind steppe]

i'd have to imagine so considering card.ability.extra.discard_size isn't real

[latent raven]

😭 bro what was my friend trying to do

[wind steppe]

give diamonds the upgrade message on scoring and crash the game on sell

notably the diamonds don't actually do anything other than show a message cause mult is 0

also thats a five dollar common with no econ capabilities wtf

[hybrid shadow]

card crashes when i hover over it w/ message saying 'colours' is nil

[wind steppe]

you're not returning a color in loc_vars

you need that for {V:1} i think

[outer basalt]

its the examplejokers mod

i know because mine still has comments from it 😭

[wind steppe]

get rid of them

[outer basalt]

if it aint broke dont fix it

[wind steppe]

they're probably not even right though???

[outer basalt]

besides it helps with switch n shit /sys

[hybrid shadow]

ah, thx

[wind steppe]

not everything is context.joker_main

[wind steppe]

that makes sense
(assuming you're changing the comments to be correct instead of just always context.joker_main)

[outer basalt]

that never confused us lol. its like the one thing we got right away 😭

[latent raven]

ok I started rewriting that entire code and I need some help. each scored diamond card should give the joker a +1 mult and after that it destroys them

oh wait damn

[wind steppe]

you haven't destroyed other_card yet but other than that it looks like it should work

oh wait context.other_card doesn't always exist

[red flower]

that looks like it will crash yeah

[latent raven]

damn

uhh what context could I use

[wind steppe]

put the first if in an if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then

[latent raven]

like that?

[wind steppe]

yes

please deindent the one line inside it though

it doesn't matter but it looks bad

[latent raven]

yeah I'll do that

thanks!

[main minnow]

currently trying to make a joker that modifies lucky card trigger probabilities and i'm not sure of the best way to go about it - i'm guessing i'd need to somehow override the default Card:get_p_dollars() and Card:get_chip_mult() functions within the custom joker definition?

[wind steppe]

take ownership of lucky cards and check if you have the joker: if so, change the lucky card probabilities

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

[red flower]

im pretty sure lucky cards are hardcoded

[wind steppe]

thats stupid

[red flower]

unless that changed recently you would need to patch

[wind steppe]

take ownership of magician then

and make your own lucky cards

[tawdry shale]

seal works now but i was wondering if it could only trigger the x9 mult for just the first scored card that has the seal, not every scored card with the seal

[zealous glen]

SMODS might redefine vanilla Enhancements

not sure

[red flower]

it does for glass but not for lucky iirc

i only know because i see this asked a lot

[wind steppe]

use a profile variable to test if the seal's been triggered this round and reset it when blind is selected

[tawdry shale]

i'm a little confused on what you mean, this seal is meant to give x9 mult on the last scored hand if a scored card has the seal and the score is not met, that condition should trigger the x9 mult

[wind steppe]

essentially:

--pseudocode
if not sealtrigger and current card has seal and it should trigger then
 sealtrigger = true
 do the x9 mult thing
if blind select then
 sealtrigger = false

[latent raven]

How do I make the played cards destroy itself?

[wind steppe]

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

this is for food jokers but i would assume you could just input other_card instead

idk i haven't tested it

[red flower]

dont do that with playing cards

use context.destroy_card

[wind steppe]

isn't context.destroy_card on destroy?

instead of doing destruction

[red flower]

no that's remove_playing_cards

destroy_cards is to destroy during scoring

[hybrid shadow]

this returns nil whether it's card or center

[tawdry shale]

okay so it worked one time and then when i did it on the next blind the mult didn't trigger

[wind steppe]

yeah that isn't where you'd put the blind select

try a hook?

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

[hybrid shadow]

card is nil but when i change it to center the whole colours is nil

[tawdry shale]

i figured it out but thank you for the help

[tawdry shale]

i made a custom rpc and i made soultrigger a global variable and when the rpc checks for blind select that's where i updated soultrigger to be false, it just works now for some reason

[latent raven]

where do I put context.destroy_card?

[red flower]

you want to destroy all diamonds?

[hybrid shadow]

it goes in its own if like this

(ignore the other parts of the context that's just part of the joker i screenshotted)

actually context.cardaea == G.play would be smth for you to use if you only want to destroy diamonds played

[latent raven]

yeah I want only played diamond cards to be destroyed

[hybrid shadow]

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and [condition to isolate diamonds cards] then

[latent raven]

after that its return { remove = true }?

[hybrid shadow]

if the conditions are set right, it should destroy only the diamonds cards in the played hand (though it will also destroy any unscored diamonds cards in played hand)

[latent raven]

like this?

nvm it crashed

[hybrid shadow]

lemme double check the cardarea for scoring cards (you just want to destroy scoring cards right?)

[latent raven]

yes

[red flower]

replace other_card for destroy_card

[latent raven]

oh it works

thank you very much

[zenith sage]

printing any information out of a table (with lovely?) returns nil, its driving me crazy does anyone know anything about it

like

for k, v in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
    if v.edition then
      print(v.edition)

prints nil

also tried edition_type

and i should say returns not just prints, checking for the editions just pretends like they dont have any

[hybrid shadow]

if it destroys unscoring cards try the cardarea G.scoring or some variation of that (i forget what variation actually works)

[hybrid shadow]

what is the goal with this?

[keen totem]

how can i make a joker do its own effect multiple times?

(and make it so if it gets retriggered then it does that effect multiple times)

[zenith sage]

as for right now, i just want the console to print the edition of played cards

[red flower]

looks fine to me, where are you checking

[hybrid shadow]

looks like its checking the scoring hand

[red flower]

yeah i see, thats not what i asked

at what timing i mean

in what context

[hybrid shadow]

ah

[zenith sage]

        if context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            if context.before then
                if next(context.poker_hands['Pair']) then

[keen totem]

does anyone know how i can do this?

id assume something to with a bunch of retriggering

[willow scroll]

is there a simple way to replace the title screen texture? ive followed the example mod for deck skins but a quick glance through the documentation doesnt show an easy way to change the title screen texture

[zenith sage]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.jokers then
        if context.before then
            if next(context.poker_hands['Pair']) then
                for k, v in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                    print(v.edition)
                    print(v.edition_type)

both nil

[red flower]

weird, it should work

[zenith sage]

i think i saw somewhere it was a lovely bug but

[red flower]

are you sure they have an edition lol?

[zenith sage]

pretty sure :p

ill run a quick test

pair, one has an edition (foil)

so it should, before scoring, detect a pair and iterate through those 2 cards, find the one with the foil edition, and print its edition

the first thing, v.edition is probably a bool

but both just return nil

i did find a workaround though

very jank code, it hurts me, but

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.jokers then
        if context.before then
            if next(context.poker_hands['Pair']) then
                local edition_one
                local edition_two
                for k, v in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                    print(context.scoring_hand)
                    if v.edition then
                        if(v.edition.holo) then
                            print("holo")
                        end
                        if(v.edition.foil) then
                            print("foil")
                        end
                        if(v.edition.negative) then
                            print("negative")
                        end
                        if(v.edition.polychrome) then
                            print("polychrome")
                        end

[red flower]

v.edition is a table

[zenith sage]

that does the trick

[zenith sage]

good to know

probably, it does store the correct value but lovely's print function just cant handle tables at all

[red flower]

oh maybe lovely doesnt print tables? you should try debugplus

[zenith sage]

same conclusion, ill give it a try

[cyan lagoon]

why does this only create the backup card?

[keen totem]

does context.after literally do it after all scoring

[cyan lagoon]

yea

[keen totem]

like after the round total chips are added

i thought it was after everything but at least before it put the cards back in your deck

[red flower]

it's after scoring the chips, why?

[keen totem]

idk

[red flower]

lol

[urban wasp]

is there a way that i can have a joker return mult = naneinf or the like without the score turning into fake infinity?

[keen totem]

like virus cards are going back into the deck before doing their conversion animation

[sonic cedar]

reasking now that im back
can i call a joker's xmult upgrade using a global that's only modified in a take_ownership, or would i have to do something else? (global in question is highlighted)

[red flower]

it should be before that i think but it depends on the event timing

[keen totem]

i think its all cryptids fault

because it was working before i turned cryptid on

[red flower]

can't you add a context call after that global?

[sonic cedar]

you're asking me like i'd kno-OH I SHOULD ADD THIS IMAGE IN

important image i straight up just left out

everything except the xmult gain works perfectly

[red flower]

i mean like

G.GAME.chudhit = G.GAME.chudhit + 1
SMODS.calculate_context{chudhit = true}

and then use context.chudhit

[red flower]

card.config.center.key tho

[brittle tide]

I'm making a joker that gives a card that has a random enhancement, seal, and edition when blind is selected and while I've gotten edition and seal working it keeps returning an error for enhancement and I'm wondering if it's because of my "set_enhancement" line. Is that the problem or am I missing something?

[red flower]

set_ability

[brittle tide]

thank you

[sonic cedar]

instead of card.key

[red flower]

yes

[urban wasp]

bump?

[keen totem]

is there any way to force it to happen at the right time?

[sonic cedar]

why is it set to true if it's integers?

wont that clash?

[red flower]

that's just the name of the context

it's not the same value

[red flower]

probably but im bad at animation timings sorry

[sonic cedar]

oh ok

in that case it's test time

[cyan lagoon]

bump

[willow scroll]

i would love to know if theres a way to do it with mods instead of editing the png inside the exe

[red flower]

the title logo is G.SPLASH_BACK

i think pokermon replaces it you can check that

[willow scroll]

thank you

[sonic cedar]

didnt work :(

[outer basalt]

what. is happening to the consumable slots

[hybrid shadow]

bump (and yes i have changed it back to center)

[wind steppe]

do you have -4 consumable slots without negatives

[outer basalt]

nope

[spring lantern]

any smart people can help out with this strange error report we got

the screenshot is me trying to diagnose the issue

[sonic cedar]

did i mess anything up (overrides and main file respectively)

[tawdry shale]

i'm trying to make it so a seal does x9 for the first scored card that has the seal and does x9 mult if the score is less than the blind requirement

it does the x9 mult in final scoring step but it doesn't get the final round score

[elfin stratus]

guys

[plush depot]

how should i draw an N instead of a J for my joker

[elfin stratus]

can i get a list of the cards i currently i have in hand?

[keen totem]

noker

just draw it

[plush depot]

no like whats the font

[keen totem]

doesnt have one

its handwritten and inconsistent

[spring lantern]

just feel it

[keen totem]

egg and jimbo arent even the same font

jimbo has one less pixel

[urban wasp]

is there a way that i can have a joker return mult = naneinf or the like without the score turning into fake infinity?
-# asking again

[keen totem]

whats the goal here

[hybrid shadow]

is this intended with or without talisman

[keen totem]

do you really need to set mult to naneinf?

[plush depot]

is this look good

[urban wasp]

with talisman

[plush depot]

and you can turn it upside down and it looks the same

[urban wasp]

yes

[plush depot]

no i mean the N

[wind steppe]

why are you setting mult to naneinf

[urban wasp]

my mod is literally called shitposting

[wind steppe]

fair enough

[elfin stratus]

🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[hybrid shadow]

are you not able to just have an if statement for whatever level of talisman and then have the mult be the max for whatever level it is?

[urban wasp]

i'm not sure how to do that, is all

[wind steppe]

do you know how big omeganum is

[urban wasp]

like this is my current code

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "gamblecore",
    config = { immutable = { numerator = 1, denominator = 255 } },
    rarity = 2,
    atlas = "crp_placeholders",
    pos = { x = 3, y = 0 },
    cost = 5,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    demicolon_compat = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.immutable.numerator, card.ability.immutable.denominator } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if (context.joker_main) or context.forcetrigger then
            if pseudorandom(card.ability.immutable.numerator, card.ability.immutable.denominator) then
                return {
                    mult = math.huge
                }
            end
        end
    end,
    crp_credits = {
        idea = { "Unknown" },
        code = { "Glitchkat10" }
    }
}

but math.huge = fake infinity

[hybrid shadow]

do i need to?

[wind steppe]

its big enough that it'd be faster just to set to naneinf

[urban wasp]

yeah but like how

[hybrid shadow]

not like that matters if nobody knows how to set it to naneinf

[wind steppe]

true

[keen totem]

naneinf is, by definition, not a number

[urban wasp]

yeah

[willow scroll]

im very much not familiar with lua, where in here is the x position? I need to move the texture a bit to the right

    local balala = "balala"
    G.SPLASH_LOGO = Sprite(0, 0, 
        13/333*389*SC_scale, 
        13/333*389*SC_scale*(G.ASSET_ATLAS[balala].py/G.ASSET_ATLAS[balala].px),
        G.ASSET_ATLAS[balala], {x=0.0,y=0})

[keen totem]

so you cant exactly do that

[plush depot]

Noker

hes sad and crying

[solid mesa]

that dont make much sense, like:
omeganun = naneinf + 1

[willow scroll]

i may be blind

[urban wasp]

#🎨・fan-art …

yeah i just don’t exactly know how i could manage this

[keen totem]

if its going in a mod it can go here

[urban wasp]

ah true

[wind steppe]

omeganum is massive

[solid mesa]

which number of exponential is?

[urban wasp]

i’m not really asking how big it is tbf

[keen totem]

omeganum is also not a number

its a table

[solid mesa]

oh makes sense now

[plush depot]

what should he do

[elfin stratus]

i dont want to look like im spamming but idk what other way i could use to get an answer

[plush depot]

the noker

[solid mesa]

so it's a matrix?

[willow scroll]

where did it go 😭

[keen totem]

its a table

[plush depot]

unlock the voucher first then you can know

[solid mesa]

idk how to translate matriz

[hybrid shadow]

why do you need a list?

[solid mesa]

walltext xd

[elfin stratus]

i want to pick a random card from current hand

then extract info from that card

[hybrid shadow]

for what? what is the goal?

[solid mesa]

i read that down worry @wind steppe

[willow scroll]

thank you 🙏

[elfin stratus]

basically, create a copy of a random card but without enhancements and/or seals

[wind steppe]

joker poker

[plush depot]

anytime

[keen totem]

is that the aerial tramway emoji

[willow scroll]

it is an aerial tram

[hybrid shadow]

im just gonna go take my test and bump my earlier issue later

[wind steppe]

does that replace a suit or is it a new one

[willow scroll]

no its a simple reskin i made rq

wait i cannot read

yes it replaces a suit

[plush depot]

is this good wording or should i change it?

[north lodge]

-4 mult when a blind is beaten. After reaching -40 mult, instead give +100 mult
imo is better for that effect.

[plush depot]

alr

[north lodge]

You definitely need to specify when the mult is subtracted, hence why I added "when a blind is beaten"

Then you also need the current mult counter at the bottom

[plush depot]

how do i make that count

[outer basalt]

bumping this cause I just got back

[plush depot]

you have 6/2 slots used

[outer basalt]

ya but theyre negative

so it should bump up to 8

[plush depot]

it dosent feel like it

[gentle rain]

how come my injection (left) isnt working on this script (right)? none of the print() functions go off when i try to trigger it by using a planet card

[red flower]

i think it's functions/common_events

[cyan lagoon]

bump

[gentle rain]

thats right ty

[north lodge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CdaHAP1sCw&t=237s learn from this

That timestamp talks about the text part and such.

[wintry swallow]

does anyone know why this line crashes? self.ability.extra.mult = self.ability.extra.mult_mod * math.floor(math.abs(to_big(G.GAME.dollars) + (to_big(G.GAME.dollar_buffer) or to_big(0))) / self.ability.extra.dollars)

[devout badger]

figured it out lol and context.cardarea == G.play was messing it up

what's the maximum width of a joker description in vanilla

[plush depot]

so far

does nothing

[plush depot]

try spamming a bunch of "E" in the description

[wind steppe]

smods imposes no limit though

[plush depot]

so probably infinite

[wintry swallow]

Is there anyone who could help me with my problem?

[plush depot]

whats the problem

[wintry swallow]

I'm trying to use (to_big(G.GAME.dollars) + (to_big(G.GAME.dollar_buffer) or to_big(0))), in a equation, but the game crashes with this error every time: functions/commonevents.lua:1091: attempt to compare number with table

[plush depot]

ion feel like watching that

[plush depot]

uhhhhhh idk

[wintry swallow]

🫤

[clever rose]

is there a line of code that destroys a playing card?

[red flower]

during scoring or outside of scoring?

[clever rose]

i was attempting to make a joker that would destroy all cards in hand at the end of the round

[limber obsidian]

uhh

my messages wont send with my code

[red flower]

SMODS.destroy_cards(card) probably works

[clever rose]

okay thanks ill try that

[red flower]

you need to be using the latest smods release tho

[clever rose]

okay cool ill check that

[plush depot]

what should the joker do

[wind steppe]

for every time a message with the letter e in it shows up, +1 chip

[limber obsidian]

how would i add to this joker the ability that when winning a boss blind it destroys 2 cards in your deck?

[plush depot]

jenius

[limber obsidian]

joker code so big i gotta make it a .txt

also if possible how would i optimize that code to be less massive

[red flower]

yes all the areas you're checking always exist so you dont need to nil check

also returning just { mult = bonus } is shorter

[red flower]

in calculate

in loc_vars you only need to check for one of them not all

[limber obsidian]

if your current score is at e1 or above, have a 50/50 chance to destroy this joker and give a legendary joker, or to destroy this joker and gain 333$ (E but backwards)

[plush depot]

i like the chips one

[humble pawn]

Anyone have an idea on how I might be able to randomize all scored cards into random suits and ranks?

[vapid sable]

every ace, queen, ten, nine, eight, seven, five, three of hearts or spades gives a +4 or whatever mult

[plush depot]

i get it cuz e

wait one?

[vapid sable]

one has an e

[plush depot]

but theres no one cards

[vapid sable]

Oh

[wind steppe]

ace has an e regardless

[limber obsidian]

hmmm try checking the spectral cards file in the source code for sigil for the random suit part

[vapid sable]

I got too caught up counting

[plush depot]

ill do this

[limber obsidian]

and the Ouiji spectral card has the random rank function

[wintry swallow]

could someone experienced with the G.GAME.dollars function please help me?

[humble pawn]

Thanks

[limber obsidian]

yup

[limber obsidian]

bump

[red flower]

it's not a function but it's not a problem with G.GAME.dollars, it's a problem with Talisman

i would ask in the talisman thread or the cryptid server honestly

[wintry swallow]

could you provide a link to the talisman thread, pretty-please

[red flower]

idk if it's still active honestly

hi sooji

[keen loom]

yo

[plush depot]

i made 2 new jokers that dont work yet cuz im too lazy to make them work

Noker and E

[keen loom]

meanwhile i nerfed all my jokers

[wild escarp]

Is there some built-in way to do xchips?

[plush depot]

why

[lethal mural]

im probably being stupid but how do i make a joker trigger every time a card with a specific suit is scored?

[plush depot]

broken is fuyn

[red flower]

yes

{ xchips = value }

[wild escarp]

Thanks!

[keen loom]

i keep seeing this word, what is it?

[plush depot]

what word

[keen loom]

talisman

[plush depot]

oh

[wind steppe]

increases score requirements and screws up all of your mods

[elfin stratus]

deleted my message because i was completely wrong

[plush depot]

i think its either a coding thing like vsc or its a injector like lovely

[elfin stratus]

sorry for my dumbass braindead response

[wind steppe]

no

[plush depot]

no?

ok dont trust me on that sooji

[red flower]

it's fine it's not documented

[wind steppe]

this is talisman

[plush depot]

ah

[red flower]

talisman is a regular mod

[lethal mural]

also (im still probably being blind) but is there a way to quickly restart the game (not a run, the whole game for whenever i'm testing)?

[red flower]

hold m or alt+f5

[wind steppe]

alt f5

[lethal mural]

alright ty

[keen loom]

here are the nerfed values of my current jokers

[sonic cedar]

bumping this
why doesnt the mult gain trigger?
(lmk if more context is needed)

[short girder]

where's the wiki page for decks :[ i cant find it

[sonic cedar]

it's SMODS.Back

[short girder]

okay thanks you!!!

[plush depot]

i need to hire someone to code for me cuz im too lazy but im broke so

[devout badger]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then

                if context.other_card:is_suit('Hearts', true) or context.other_card:is_suit('Diamonds', true) then
            
                    card.ability.extra.final_mult = card.ability.extra.final_mult + card.ability.extra.mult_count

                    return {
                            message = 'Upgraded!',
                            colour = G.C.MULT,
                            card = card
                    }

                elseif ( context.other_card:is_suit('Spades', true) or context.other_card:is_suit('Clubs', true) ) and (card.ability.extra.final_mult > 1) then

                    card.ability.extra.final_mult = card.ability.extra.final_mult - card.ability.extra.mult_count

                    return {
                            message = 'Downgraded!',
                            colour = G.C.MULT,
                            card = card
                    }
                end

        end```
how do I reference the joker itself in the return block?

this results in the messages appearing over the card being scored

(card = self makes it crash)

[fringe patrol]

not sure where to ask for help for this, but tl;dr i'm making a music mod, right?

most of it is working. however, it's meant to be used in conjunction with another mod, which adds its own custom track

[sonic cedar]

well if you need help with developing a mod this just might be the right channel /lh

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know whats up with get_current_pool?
specifically the UNAVAILABLE and ", Joker4"

[fringe patrol]

and that one custom track clashes with the rest of the music mod, so i opted to replace that mod's track from within my own mod

however, i have not been successful in doing so. here's a screenshot of what remains from my latest attempt

i'm aware some mods can check for the existence of other mods to basically work in tandem

how do i replace another mod's assets conditionally?

[north lodge]

How do I check if another mod is present and as a result make something specific happen because of it?

[red flower]

the way the pool works is that it sets keys to unavailable when they're not in the pool, it's a way to not mess up randomness

the Joker4 is the string that appends to the seed depending on what called it iirc

[next pivot]

my achievements aren't working, and aren't unlocking at all
here's my code for one of them:
-# comments added to show... stuff?

SMODS.Achievement{
    key="touch_grass",
    atlas="achieve",
    hidden_text = true,
    pos={x=1,y=0},
    hidden_pos={x=0,y=0},
    unlock_condition = function(self,args)
        -- check for achievement unlocking (not in here cause it doesn't work either way)
        return true -- just here to test if it works
    end
}

[red flower]

if next(SMODS.find_mod("modid")) then

[north lodge]

What if I'm not using smods 😬
(rawdogging it with lovely)

[red flower]

idk

[north lodge]

I'll just look at smods source

Thank you for the direction!

[red flower]

i think you need to check the files

as in find the files in the mod folder

[sonic cedar]

~~or use steamodded ~~

[red flower]

(and check that there's not a .lovelyignore)

[fringe patrol]

left code is from my mod, right side is from the other mod, the game launches no issues, it just simply continues to use the original mod's source music

[sonic cedar]

which one loads first

[nova eagle]

could someone help me understand what this error is?

i've never seen this one before

[red flower]

pokermon's prefix is poke

[next pivot]

check your path, it's just ".png"

[nova eagle]

ohhh

oops

[fringe patrol]

Priority on the other is set to 0, mine is set to 2, so if I got this correct, Pokermon should be loading first

[nova eagle]

yep, that fixed it... thanks

[sonic cedar]

then yeah fix the prefix

[umbral zodiac]

how is it appended, gcp seems to return the table itself but the joker[number] part isn't part of that table(? i think)

[red flower]

look at get_next_tag_key in the code

[umbral zodiac]

i see, thank you

[next pivot]

okay this is getting even more weird
i set it up to check the args type and it got to the if statement but didn't unlock it???

        if args.type == "touch_grass" then
            print("wait what we're supposed to unlock it")
            return true
        end

and it printed, but it doesn't show as unlocked in the game...

[north lodge]

Yeah you know what fair enough, why be stubborn when I can just do that 😅

[sonic cedar]

was check_for_unlock called

[next pivot]

yes

[north lodge]

Is it called "smods" for the purposes of doing

local SMODS = require("smods")

[sonic cedar]

i have no idea

[sonic cedar]

where

[next pivot]

SMODS.Joker{
    key="grass_joker",
    rarity=1,
    cost=3,
    atlas="grass",
    pos={x=0,y=0},
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card) -- it's in the loc_vars to check when it's hovered
        SparkLatro.touched_grass = true
        check_for_unlock({type="touch_grass"})
    end,
}

[nova eagle]

im unsure as to why this is happening... but it seems to crash when i do this,

however with context.repition it doesnt crash, and instead tries to retrigger the card

do i have to add a loc_vars thing?

[wind steppe]

is this balanced for a seven dollar uncommon

[next pivot]

-# reply ping if needed (sorry if not)

[red flower]

because other_card doesn't exist in every context, do a stricter context check

[nova eagle]

so if i add context.repetition, and do repetitions = card.ability.extra.Xmult it should work right?

[sonic cedar]

i was researching 😭

[nova eagle]

because when i try that it just retriggers the card

[next pivot]

all good. some people may need reply pings and some may not, so mb

[wind steppe]

yeah thats what context.repetition does

[red flower]

of course it does, you're returning repetitions lol

use context.individual

[wind steppe]

and context.card_area == G.play

[red flower]

that's already there

[nova eagle]

ok its working now, thanks

how do i make a joker debuff certain cards?

[red flower]

context.debuff_card
return { debuff = true }

[nova eagle]

this is new territory for me

[vale oak]

yo ok so ive tried to patch the smods Mods box thing by editing like 3 functions but clicking on the search bar moves all the mods. is there anything ive missed and im being really dumb or is this some other kinda error?

I wanted to add a search bar

[sonic cedar]

how does the touched_grass bit work

[nova eagle]

did i miss something? or did i mess up on the second loop?

[red flower]

remove context.individual in the second condition

[next pivot]

when the loc_vars are displayed (aka on hover) (also there don't need to be any vars), it runs that function (obviously) so i just put the check_for_unlock in it

[red flower]

also im not sure if debuff_card uses other_card, let me check

[short girder]

!!

[red flower]

it doesn't

[nova eagle]

i wasnt sure if context.debuff_card has .other_card or not...

[red flower]

replace other_card for debuff_card too

[red flower]

the loc_txt is formatted wrong

[upper onyx]

how do i add a custom secondary textbox to a joker, like the ones that explain what modifiers do?

[red flower]

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

[long ruin]

hi guys can someone tell me how to make consumable

[keen loom]

is there a way to use a custom joker message from the localization file?

[red flower]

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

[long ruin]

i have a problem with the 'key' and 'atlas'

[nova eagle]

that doesnt seem to have done anything... am i missing something in the config bit?

[long ruin]

thx king

[red flower]

localize("key")

[nova eagle]

if so what would i add to that to make it work

[red flower]

can i see the code

[keen loom]

where should i put the key of message in the localization file?

[sonic cedar]

CFU might not be able to run in locvars but ill look at how it works to make sure

[red flower]

this does it when blind is selected btw

[nova eagle]

oh

[red flower]

dictionary

[red flower]

if you want it in another timing use SMODS.debuff_card

[nova eagle]

yeah that seems to have been the case,,, thanks

[next pivot]

well it is printing when i check the unlock

[nova eagle]

its not super important, as long as they are debuffed works for me

[normal crest]

someone came here yesterday asking for help with making a deck and they used the nebula deck example on this mod, why all the apply stuff? can't you just put the vouchers in config, or am I misunderstanding the purpose of that mod

[sonic cedar]

oh well nvm then
add ur mod prefix to the beginning of ur unlock args maybe

[short girder]

how would i format it :[

[red flower]

idk i didnt do those :3

i will check

i usually do both the config and the function versions

[normal crest]

oh i see

yeah it looks like here you only have the recreation of the config functionality

which is confusing people

[red flower]

yeah i will change it then

[normal crest]

loc_txt = {
  name = "blah",
  text = {
     "line 1",
     "line 2"
  }
}

[next pivot]

that didn't work
it also sent it with the prefix attached only

[long ruin]

i have several question like what is

    primary_colour = G.C.SET.Tarot,
    secondary_colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Tarot,
    collection_rows = { 5, 6 },

[normal crest]

that's for defining a new type of consumable

[red flower]

ignore that yeah

i will write a comment

[long ruin]

i forgor the main one that is

default = 'c_vremade_fool',

[normal crest]

you know how when you run out of jokers to get in balatro the game starts to spawn just the +4 mult one

that's what default does

[red flower]

are you making a new type of consumable or are you making a tarot

[long ruin]

so if i want to create a consummable i just ignore this thingy

new one

[red flower]

oh then you use that yeah

[long ruin]

want to make my own one with specific things (like code card in cryptid)

[red flower]

here are the docs for it https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType

[long ruin]

i wanted to use the derek mod to do this but he kept using the joker atlas

you truly are THE helper

[sonic cedar]

elab

[next pivot]

i added the prefix, and checked for if it was sending with the prefix too

        if args.type=="touch_grass" then -- check if it's unlocking w/o the prefix
            print("Came without the prefix")
            return true
        end
        if args.type == "touch_grass" or args.type == "SPL_touch_grass" then
            print("unlocked with the prefix") -- this is where it's going to
            return true
        end

[long ruin]

one last thing, what is the "badge" ?

[normal crest]

badge is the text that appears under a card when you hover over it

like the rarity badge

[long ruin]

oh okay, that where people write their name to say that this is their joker right ?

[normal crest]

no no

yk how the rarity of a joker is just a little bubble of text under the descrption that says "Common" or blah blah

[wind steppe]

that part is in the metadate file

[normal crest]

Those are called badges

[long ruin]

oh okok

OH I UNDERSTAND

im so dumb

srry y'all

[wind steppe]

how would i check and change a card's edition?

(playing card)

[normal crest]

card:set_edition('e_foil') where card is the playing card ofc

[short girder]

how do i make a deck add a joker
i tried this and it didnt work :[

[untold vigil]

I was making a joker mod but it dosen't appear

Did I mess something or what? Cuz i need help

[normal crest]

you have to put it inside an event

[long ruin]

what are the 'nil,nil,nil' thing ? like why do we need to do it ?

[short girder]

like what

[normal crest]

the first thing goes in a separate file in your mod folder

with the .json extension

[untold vigil]

the main.lua?

[normal crest]

From SMODS.Joker and below goes to your main.lua

the stuff above goes to a json file in your mod folder

[untold vigil]

the id stuff goes in a .json file and the smods.joker and atlas in the lua file?

[short girder]

probably parameters that come whenever defining create_card()
there are some parameters you don't need for certain card creations

[normal crest]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event{
  func = function()
    -- add your joker here
    return true
  end
})

[untold vigil]

To check if i understood

[normal crest]

yes

[untold vigil]

got it

I'll ask something else if something goes up kay? It's my first joker just cuz i thought of doing it

[short girder]

soupsies

[long ruin]

wouldn't the consummables fcked up if i use the color of the tarot card of smth ?

[normal crest]

Are you trying to create a specific joker?

whose key is absentia?

if so you want to type j_modprefix_absentia

[solid mesa]

in what cases you use return? like when upgrading or retrigger?

[short girder]

oh okay!!

[normal crest]

you use return when you want your joker to provide feedback to the user

[fringe patrol]

prefix fixed, this finally got it working! thank you! I need to be careful regarding mod IDs and prefixes

[normal crest]

in the most general terms possible

[fringe patrol]

[solid mesa]

like how, an example pls

[normal crest]

what do you want to do exactly?

[sonic cedar]

what did this return as

[wind steppe]

any time you want your joker to show a message (like Again! or Upgrade!)

[keen loom]

how would i make the joker destroy itself?

[solid mesa]

learn, im not doing anything really, just want to met myself in this

[next pivot]

the args.type was "SPL_touch_grass" so it was returning with the prefix

[wind steppe]

i have this for food jokers

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

[daring fern]

card:start_dissolve()

[solid mesa]

oh okokok i get it, that can be used to upgrade another things or just in self?

[normal crest]

inside a joker's calculate function you can do smt like

if context.joker_main then
  return { mult = 4 }
end

as the simplest example, which will just be a +4 mult joker

[short girder]

worked!!! many thankses :]

[wind steppe]

return on its own can only score or show messages

if you want to do anything else you'll put it before return in calculate

[solid mesa]

so that will adding score?

[daring fern]

No, it can also run functions and remove cards.

[sonic cedar]

and nothing unlocked?

[solid mesa]

context.before or what before?

[sonic cedar]

Can you show me the achievement setup again

[wind steppe]

before in the code

like above it

[solid mesa]

oh my bad xd

[next pivot]

mhm

[solid mesa]

uh i am reading that....

[wind steppe]

why does my joker not appear? there shouldn't be any issues

SMODS.Joker{ -- Malanga Fritter implementation
    key = 'malangafritter',
    config = { extra = {
        hands = 5
    }},
    pools = { ["Food"] = true },
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 7,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = false,
    perishable_compat = false,
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.chip_loss}}
    end,
     calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
            if context.full_hand[1]:get_edition() == "e_base" then
                context.full_hand[1]:set_edition('e_negative')
                card.ability.extra.hands = card.ability.extra.hands - 1
                  return {
                      message = localize('para_k_transformed'),
                      colour = G.C.ATTENTION
                  }
            end
        elseif context.after and card.ability.extra.hands <= 0 and not context.blueprint then
            para_consumefood(card)
            return {
                message = localize('k_eaten_ex'),
                colour = G.C.ATTENTION
            }
        end
    end
}

[wind steppe]

its not wrong its usually just incomplete or vague

[wind steppe]

oh nvm im just blind

[solid mesa]

so, if i want a joker to upgrade himself, the code that does that should be in return?

[wind steppe]

usually not

just change card.ability.extra.whatever before the return

[solid mesa]

what will be the common sense?

[daring fern]

You should not be putting code in a return unless it is in a func

[wind steppe]

what do you mean by that?
