[hybrid shadow]

so like if context.setting_blind and context.blind == "Boss Blind" then?

i wanna have a joker that creates rare jokers when boss blind is selected

[sturdy compass]

I think just “Boss” is what you’d want

But yeah that syntax is correct

[hybrid shadow]

also how would i go about the "creating a joker of rare rarity" part of it

[sturdy compass]

Check how Wraith does it

Actually I think there’s documentation for that on the SMODS Utility Functions page for thr SMODS.create_card function

[hybrid shadow]

found how wraith in vanillaremade does it so im gonna modify that a bit and include my custom summon message

[sturdy compass]

That works too

[hybrid shadow]

smth im curious abt that i havent asked before is why do jokers have and not context.blueprint in some if statements (mainly ones that do mult gain)? is it to prevent blueprint from adding extra to itself, or is it to prevent blueprint from doubling the upgrade of jokers?

[daring fern]

Probably the first one.

No, actually the only reason would be to not show the message.

[hybrid shadow]

so it doesnt do anything functionally its just that the message is copied if you don't do and not context.blueprint?

[daring fern]

I think so, yes.

[snow vale]

how can i make so every played card counts as a wild card?

[daring fern]

Do you want them to count as wild cards as just having every suit or have them actually count as wild cards?

[cyan lagoon]

hook is_suit

[snow vale]

like if they had wild enhancement, but they dont

[daring fern]

Then you're going to have to use quantum enhancements.

[snow vale]

wtf

[cyan lagoon]

you can try something like this

[daring fern]

No.

[snow vale]

wdym no?

[cyan lagoon]

why? it works

[daring fern]

You need to enable it in optional features.

[daring fern]

They wont be wild cards.

[snow vale]

idk how to do quantum enhancements 😭

[cyan lagoon]

honestly, i dont see the difference between them being all-suit or wild cards

[daring fern]

You just enable it then you do if context.check_enhancement and context.other_card.area == G.play then return {m_wild = true}

[snow vale]

how do i enable?

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
    return {
        quantum_enhancements = true
    }
end

[snow vale]

okk

thanks

[manic rune]

the functionality might be the same, but they arent "wild cards" by any means, as checks like SMODS.has_enhancement(card, "m_wild") wont work

[cyan lagoon]

aight

how can i stop context.individual triggering before the card?

the problem in question:

[daring fern]

You return it instead of calculating the effect.

Also you can't calculate the effect of retriggers.

[cyan lagoon]

if i return it, only ret1 gets calculated

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to use recursive extra effects.

[cyan lagoon]

like that?

[snow vale]

what's wrong here?

[daring fern]

No.

[daring fern]

Why are you looping over the scored hand?

[snow vale]

i wanna check if scoring hand has 6 or 9

[daring fern]

And if there is make all cards played count as wild cards?

[snow vale]

i mean if the scoring hand contains 6 or 9, played hand becomes wild cards

[daring fern]

Try temporarily removing the card area check.

[snow vale]

ok

[snow vale]

error

[daring fern]

context.scoring_hand doesn't always exist.

[snow vale]

then what do i use?

[daring fern]

if context.check_enhancement and context.scoring_hand then

[snow vale]

not working

:(

now it doesnt become flush for example

[stiff quiver]

how can i check a played card's enhgancement?

[daring fern]

SMODS.has_enhancement(card, "m_modprefix_key")

[stiff quiver]

ok thanks!

i got this crash lua calculate = function(self,card,context) if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then for _, playing_card in ipairs(context.full_hand) do if SMODS.has_enhancements(playing_card, "m_bonus") then return {repetitions = 1} end end end end,

[daring fern]

SMODS.has_enhancement

[thorn furnace]

No idea what's wrong here
First image is the error, second is where it's detecting the error, third is the relevant code for the item i used that's causing the error

[daring fern]

You are trying to set the center of a card to a nil value.

[thorn furnace]

i had it set it to the first index tho

so it should just be one center

o

the thing that confuses me is rightmost is a card that has foil

so it does have enhancements

[daring fern]

Foil is not a regular normal enhancement.

[thorn furnace]

i might be too tired to be coding

same crash if I give the card steel

so doesn't seem to be related to not having an enhancement

[daring fern]

Try checking if the card has an enhancement first before you try to change it.

[thorn furnace]

still crashed :/
same error

i just wanna copy the enhancement of a card ;-;

[undone slate]

Hello, I don't think I can find a reference to this, but I'd like to know if it's possible to check within the joker cards which one has a rental tag.
I imagine it would be something like jokers.missing.rental

[daring fern]

No, ```lua
local rentals = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
if v.ability.rental then
table.insert(rentals, v)
end
end

[undone slate]

Thanks ;)

[wicked leaf]

how can I make an enhancement count as other enhancement?

I'm trying to find an example in other mods but I cant really find it

[daring fern]

You need to use quantum enhancements.

[rare torrent]

so im new to modding, and a thought it this was a simple first joker to start (it wasn't), so i just wanted to make a simple joker that squares your multiplier (a little bit busted i know), the thing is i can't figure out how to multiply the multiplier by itself, it always keeps returning a nil value and defaults it to 1, probrably because calculate function calculates before even playing a hand

so yeah i would be very grateful if anybody got a solution for this, thanks in advance!

[daring fern]

It is quite simple, install talisman and do return {emult = 2}

[rare torrent]

really? let me try it

[wicked leaf]

no, no, like

As a joker effect

I want to make a joker count gold cards as steel cards

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to use quantum enhancements.

[wicked leaf]

Isnt it disabled by default, which means that for most players it wont work?

[daring fern]

Yes, but it is enabled per mod not per player.

[molten musk]

any ideas for seal oriented jokers?

[wicked leaf]

any example around that can help me figure it out?

this is pretty much my first or second joker

[rare torrent]

ok i know there's a bunch of question here already but where do i put "return {emult = 2}"? it's not doing anything when i put it calculate function or outisde

[daring fern]

Code?

[rare torrent]

-- author: omega
-- description: Adds jokers based on some of the cards of uNOPE
-- version: 1.0.0
-- compatibility: Steamod, Talisman

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'squared',
    path = 'squared.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}

local squared_joker = SMODS.Joker{
    key = "squared",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Squared",
        text = {"{C:red}Squares{C} your Multiplier"},
    },
    atlas = "squared",
    rarity = 3,

    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    pools = { G.P_JOKER },

    return {emult = 2}
}```

[daring fern]

It needs to be inside calculate.

G.P_JOKER doesn't exist.

[rare torrent]

like this? calculate = function(self, card, context) return {emult = 2} end

[daring fern]

No, ```lua
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.joker_main then
return {emult = 2}
end
end

[rare torrent]

oh

YOOOOOO IT WORKS, thank you so much!

[rare torrent]

but now about this, does that mean i won't be in the joker pool?

[manic rune]

why is there {C} in your loc_txt>test, out of curiosity

[daring fern]

It'll be in the pool by default.

[manic rune]

you dont need the pools = ... line

yeah, what smtcom said

[rare torrent]

oh okay

[rare torrent]

it's so only the "Squares" part is in red

[manic rune]

yeah you only need {} in which case

[rare torrent]

damm, again i only started modding yesterday💀

[manic rune]

fair

[tepid sky]

is there a way to put a ui on cards that are being played?

[manic rune]

create UIBox, then set the major to the card

[bold sleet]

Does anyone know how the fuck one controls the z layer of where a menu gets rendered?

i.e. render menus above cards that are not an overlay.

Similar to the debug menu?

[manic rune]

newly created ui should always take priority on the front, idk how to manipulate the order tho

[bold sleet]

Cards and other bs get rendered above any UI excet the overlay ones.

As far as I know.

(excluding the debug UI)

[red flower]

try setting draw_layer to 1 in the configs

[pliant raft]

Hellooo, sorry but may I ask how should the code look for a retexture mod for all the Jokers, seals, decks, enhancements, tarot/planet/spectral cards, tags, boosters, vouchers?
Plus I'd need a way to rename jokers, suits and change the color of the text for suits (like how hearts are in red but instead it'd need to be a different color)

I'm a mere artist and don't know how to code at all😭😭😭

All that is in the file is shown in the pic

[tepid sky]

imma look into this, thanks!

been a while since ive modded at all

[red flower]

this mod does a lot of that if you need reference
https://github.com/xssgm/Touhou-Balatro-texture-pack/tree/main

[pliant raft]

Ooooooo

[tepid sky]

time to, reinstall the modding stuff :,)

[daring fern]

How would one draw a seal on a random spot on a card?

[snow vale]

also you should install visual studio code, it's way better for coding

[pliant raft]

Oh okeoke thanks!

[snow vale]

this aint working 💔

[bold sleet]

try comparing with strings instead of numbers, idk

[snow vale]

wdym?

[bold sleet]

For some reason card ranks are strings, I believe.

... c:get_id() == "6" ...

[snow vale]

well another joker ive works without strings

[red flower]

no they're not

[bold sleet]

then idk

I have seen then both in numerical and string form.

[red flower]

check_enhancement doesn't have scoring_hand im pretty sure

or at least it's not documented

[wicked leaf]

how would I enable it for mine?

[snow vale]

then how can i do it so if i have a scoring 6 or 9 my cards count as wild cards?

[daring fern]

@wicked leaf

[red flower]

idk never used quantum enhancements

[tall wharf]

first one

[bold sleet]

shouldn't it be a locked repeater

[tall wharf]

adequate

[bold sleet]

-# I think it would be more appropiate.

[snow vale]

id done so the redstone repeater interacts with the jokers to both sides

[tall wharf]

you code it

[snow vale]

but first i wanna fix my blindfolded

[wicked leaf]

putting this in my main file should do, yeah?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[bold sleet]

what are 'quantum enhancements'?

[wicked leaf]

support for returning enhancements as other enhancements

[bold sleet]

wat?

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/305

[bold sleet]

yummers

[snow vale]

how can i edit the color of ts?

the mod badge thing

[red flower]

your mod's metadata

[snow vale]

eh

um

[red flower]

read the docs

[snow vale]

ok

[hard mica]

i did but its still there

[wicked leaf]

what are the keys for vanilla cards?

as in, where can I find them, mainly

[daring fern]

game.lua

[wicked leaf]

do they have a prefix or do I just leave it like this

[daring fern]

Yes.

[tepid sky]

why does a repeater switch? shouldn't that be a lever or sum?

[tall wharf]

swithc?

it's delayed mult

[bold sleet]

make it 4 ticks

when create x your shenanigans?

[wicked leaf]

my mod hates me

what do I do here

[bold sleet]

check file path and name.

can I see the codes responsible for loading your files?

[wicked leaf]

oh I see what I missed

[bold sleet]

you are missing a jokers folder inside items

items/jokers/inverse_jokers

btw. what is your mod meant to do?

What is your mod about?

[wicked leaf]

what's the order field for?

[wicked leaf]

Entropy addon that adds a flipside form to every joker

[daring fern]

It does nothing.

[bold sleet]

-# it doesn't interact with other mods yet, but uh... there is an API thing idk how you call it to aid in making silly alternates.

[wicked leaf]

erm

[bold sleet]

Check your atlas definition thing.

And the file it is pointing towards.

Assume root is either the 1x or 2x folder.

[wicked leaf]

I think I need to make the 2x actually

[bold sleet]

You need both 1x and 2x for it to work.

idk why there are 2 versions, but eh.

[wicked leaf]

[bold sleet]

i need

[thorn furnace]

Bump 🙏

[daring fern]

‎

[red flower]

are you sure that's where the error is? are you checking the dumps or the vanilla files?

[thorn furnace]

I don't think I understand the question

In the card.lua in the lonely folder it seems to start mentioning a center object at line 268 so it checks out

[red flower]

can you send the entire crash log?

[thorn furnace]

Oki one sec

[undone slate]

I'm getting an expected } at line 11 but there is no open {} anywhere I've checked.
Does lovely read the comment lines or should I start counting from the first line of code?

[red flower]

it does read comments, you're probably missing a comma so it thinks you're missing a bracket

[undone slate]

all the commas are there, may I send the code?

[red flower]

yeah

[undone slate]

also the line I'm getting the error on is local jokers = {

expect a lot of issues and wrong code

[thorn furnace]

comma missing after the mod name

i think?

[red flower]

Did you try just :set_ability("m_steel")?

[undone slate]

error at line 11

near the if

[thorn furnace]

well it's supposed to work like Death does but for enhancements
so I can't just do any specific enhancement

[red flower]

i know, but did you try?

[thorn furnace]

uhh
I'll give it a shot

[wicked leaf]

erm

what am I missing

[daring fern]

What does the atlas look like?

[thorn furnace]

doing that works fine

[long sun]

hiya! i'm adding the localisation for undiscovered Zodiac and Resource cards, but it's not appearing in game

(this is in Other)

[red flower]

I think it's because get_enhancements doesn't return a list of keys

[thorn furnace]

oh

[red flower]

it returns a key-indexed table

[long sun]

(also, i'm not sure i've done this correctly)

[thorn furnace]

how would I go about returning the appropriate key

I was hoping it would be as simple as A:set_ability(SMODS.get_enhancements(B)[1])

[red flower]

i think next gives you the key

[thorn furnace]

i am so confused about what next does

[red flower]

it gives you the next key, value pair in a table

[long sun]

(bump)

(unsure what i should do)

[thorn furnace]

i thought i needed just the key tho

[unborn bay]

it depends on what the table is

[red flower]

if you use it by itself it just uses the first value

iirc

[unborn bay]

for general "arrays" it returns the number aka the index

for key-value pairs it returns a key

which can be a string

[thorn furnace]

i miss coding in assembly

[red flower]

wild

[daring fern]

I think it needs to be lowercase.

[unborn bay]

unless you specify two values in a single definition then yeah it's gonna return only the first one

which is the key

[thorn furnace]

it indeed worked

[long sun]

what needs to be lowercase, the key?

[red flower]

ok now make sure to not return nil there

[daring fern]

The one in localization.

[thorn furnace]

Assembly is at least like simple
It's tedious yeah but it's like
Easy

[long sun]

ah yeah oops

lemme try that :>

[thorn furnace]

yea that's all good

[unborn bay]

easy if you like reading hexadecimals as words

[long sun]

yay thanks! it's annoying that the soul is off by two pixels here, though ^^"

[thorn furnace]

im a math major i deal with other bases all the time

[unborn bay]

sorry man you can only really gas up assembly in this economy if you're working with a game console from the 90s or if you're maximizing space

oh thats why

[thorn furnace]

well
not all the time
I don't do number theory anymore

[unborn bay]

ew

get your math degree away from me

[thorn furnace]

base 16 is way better of a base than base -ln(pi)/arcsin(6) or whatever

ngl

actually that cancels out a lot

[thorn furnace]

I will hunt down all laymen until their dreams are filled with analytic equivalence classes and finite simple groups

[native zinc]

arcsin(6) 😭

[thorn furnace]

It's a number just like any other number

[native zinc]

what kind of extension is this

[thorn furnace]

the complex numbers

sin(x) = 1/2i * (e^ix - e^-ix)
Solving for x is pretty easy and then you get arcsin

[native zinc]

oh right

so like uhh

-i ln(iz+√[1+z^2]) ?

sorry 1 - z^2

[thorn furnace]

you got that down fast

[native zinc]

smh how is this going to put chicken rice on my bedside table

[thorn furnace]

Just analytically continue the chicken rice from the store to your bedside table by continuously analytically continuing the chicken rice along the contour to your house

Silly

[snow vale]

are dependencies on the mod's metadata required?

[red flower]

no

[snow vale]

ok

[plush depot]

can someone help me know whats wrong with this code for the badge, it keeps doing this error report

[manic rune]

what r u doing

i can prob help

[daring fern]

How would one put a custom info queue that can go on any joker under specific conditions?

Also badges?

[glad osprey]

look at invis, ankh, etc for that

anything that copies a joker

those will have the info queue for negative on them when there's a negative joker

[glad osprey]

it is reccomended to add whatever version of steamodded your using at the time though

[wicked leaf]

why doesnt it work?

[daring fern]

It should be assets not resources

[wicked leaf]

ah.

[hard mica]

does anyone know how to fix this issue?

[wicked leaf]

I guess I need to add the rarity to a pool

[scenic loom]

How can I make it so that something gives money at the end of a round based on probability? Looking at golden joker in the steamodded examples, theres no calculate function and adding one and putting the money function in makes it do nothing

[daring fern]

Yes, for end of round money you use calc_dollar_bonus instead.

[red flower]

in calc_dollar_bonus
return pseudorandom("seed") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / odds and amount or nil

[scenic loom]

ah I see

[daring fern]

‎

[red flower]

i would probably patch G.UIDEF.card_h_popup for both of those

[thorn furnace]

What would I do if I wanted a consumable that added flat chips or mult to the next hand's score

[snow vale]

is there a way to add an specific font to a consumeable title, or generally to anything?

[daring fern]

Maybe you use keep_on_use then give mult then destroy it next hand?

[red flower]

like, to the name? you can in the most recent smods

[snow vale]

yeah, to these things

and how?

[thorn furnace]

True

[snow vale]

are there any docs?

[red flower]

oh for those i don't think there is without patching

[red flower]

nope

[snow vale]

to the badge?

[red flower]

also no

[snow vale]

mhm

ok then

[hard mica]

anyone know how to fix this?

[daring fern]

Why does this hard crash if the number of seals on a card is 3 or more?:

[scenic loom]

Is there a way to increase the card selection limit? The card doesn't need to be scored, just like so you can select 6 cards to discard or whatever

[faint yacht]

SMODS.change_play_limit(mod) for playing, SMODS.change_discard_limit(mod) for discarding.

[keen totem]

how would i go about getting a random poker hand like To Do List does (yes i know, vremade, but i dont get wtf is going on there)

[keen totem]

"i dont get what is going on there"

as in i dont know wtf any of that means or does

as in ive already checked that

as in that doesnt help me something

[daring fern]

It gets valid hands, and it gets a random one from those.

[red flower]

it loops through all the hands to get the visible ones that are not the last selected and then gets a random one

[scenic loom]

whats the mod variable supposed to be?>

[daring fern]

A number of how much you want to change it.

[faint yacht]

1 increases by 1, -1 decreases.

[lament agate]

pardon

where do you find the data for hanging chad again

[manic rune]

data?

[lament agate]

codee

[scenic loom]

putting change_discard_limit in add_to_deck function crashes the game instantly when I get the joker, am I supposed to put this somewhere else>\

[manic rune]

a sec

[lament agate]

thanks

[faint yacht]

Are you doing just change_discard_limit or SMODS.change_discard_limit?

[scenic loom]

SMODS.change_discard_limit

[faint yacht]

And what's the said crash actually saying?

[faint yacht]

...which SMODS version are you on?

'cause said functions are in use as of https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0530b ...

    end
}```

sorry that that block of text is so huge i probably shouldve just done the relelvant part

[red flower]

because it uses two different seeds for inside and outside a run, not entirely sure why but that's what vanilla does

[manic rune]

oh, to ensure that the pseudorandom_element doesnt become different when you check the card outside the run, probably?

it would be possible to manipulate its rng otherwise 🤔

-# idk

im assuming thats what thunk went for

[red flower]

it shouldn't be but idk i don't understand the seed system all that well

[keen totem]

also how do i localize the poker hand it generates

[lament agate]

say, if i wanna retrigger four and seven, what do i type here

[daring fern]

patriot?

[snow vale]

how can i destroy 1 selected card?

[daring fern]

You have to change the context to context.repetition and do return {repetitions = 1}

[daring fern]

G.hand.highlighted[1]:start_dissolve()

[keen totem]

what rarity should this be? im really bad at balancing scaling jokers so idk

[thorn furnace]

When I'm creating a consumable type, what does shop_rate do?
Is more a higher chance or a lower chance of it showing up?

[keen totem]

99999999999 is always showing up

No, it would be context.repetition instead of context.individual.

[lament agate]

ohhh

okay

hold on

?

i know theres something wrong with the loc vars and config

[keen totem]

why is it so blue

[lament agate]

im blue

also easier to read

[daring fern]

You need to remove the ] and fix all the other syntax errors.

[lament agate]

hold

sorry this is my third time modding

so the loc var and config is fine?

[snow vale]

how's the full name set?

[daring fern]

It looks fine.

[keen totem]

itemPrefix_modPrefix_key

[hallow forge]

i don't know what you mean by that

[snow vale]

c_ub_bullet?

oh

ok

[lament agate]

?

[daring fern]

It seems fine.

[dense vault]

chat how would i make the description of my joker change based on the current deck selected? like i know you can use loc_vars but it's very limited and doesn't support adding new lines and stuff

[lament agate]

alright ill test

[dense vault]

wait nvm can i just use different keys i shouldve read the documentation better mb

[latent raven]

what is the context for first played hand (like dna?) cuz I cant find it in the documentation

I might also be blind

[daring fern]

G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0

[onyx sonnet]

there is no context, it checks for how many hands have been played this round

[latent raven]

ah

thanks

[pale holly]

I'm trying to make my Joker upgrade only High Card, Pair and Three of a Kind, but the card will actually upgrade any hand i play, not sure why honestly, i used the context exemples in the Smods Wiki and the naming of the hands is also corect based of Balatro's code, is there something i missed ?

    if context.before then
    if next(context.poker_hands['High Card']) then
        return {
            message = 'Upgraded!',
            level_up = 3
        }
        end
    if next(context.poker_hands['Pair']) then
        return {
            message = 'Upgraded!',
            level_up = 3
        }
    end
    if next(context.poker_hands['Three of a Kind']) then
        return {
            message = 'Upgraded!',
            level_up = 3
        }
    end
    end```

[broken cliff]

any hand?

[onyx sonnet]

because what you're doing is checking if your hand CONTAINS one of those poker hands

all hands contain High Card

what you need to be checking is the actual hand

give me a second

[pale holly]

yes, regardless of the hand i play

[pale holly]

Ah i see why ! Must have used the wrong context

[daring fern]

Yes, you would check if context.scoring_name == "High Card"

[onyx sonnet]

they beat me to it

[pale holly]

Oh i see, in the wiki with context.poker_hands, it was said as 'Here is another example for a Joker that increases the amount of mult it gives when you play a Flush', i think it just interpreted it wrong
Thanks a lot !

[glass crown]

        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
                message = localize {type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
            }
        end
        if context.cards_destroyed and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.addedmult
            return {
                message = 'Dismembered!',
                colour = G.C.MULT,
                card = card
            }
        end

does anyone know why this isnt working exactly? im really really bad at programming, but it seems like by all means this should be working?

[sturdy compass]

What about it is not working?

[glass crown]

should've clarified that, sorry
it isn't scaling at all

when cards are destroyed, it doesnt do any of the things in the if context.cards_destroyed and not context.blueprint then segment

[sturdy compass]

I’m not sure if cards_destroyed is the correct context. Lemme double check

[daring fern]

context.remove_playing_cards?

[lament agate]

@daring fern

[sturdy compass]

If the cards you’re checking to be destroyed are playing cards then yeah this should be the right one

[latent raven]

Hi I need help again. I want the joker to randomize the first played hand cards suit each.
so if you play a flush of spades then the first card might turn into diamonds and the second turns into hearts and the third turns into clubs etc

[daring fern]

Line?

[sturdy compass]

Instead of doing an if tree like that, I would just pull a pseudorandom_element from SMODS.Suits

[zenith sage]

why are half the enhancements abilities and the other half effects

[daring fern]

I think you would just check if context.other_card:get_id() == 7 or context.other_card:get_id() == 4 in the main joker.

[jovial gate]

how can i use change_base correctly to change the suit of a card im confused and cant find the documentation of it

[glass crown]

yep, that did the trick, thank you
is there a list of all the contexts somewhere that can be found?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[sturdy compass]

Bro you are quick

[daring fern]

SMODS.change_base(card, "Hearts")

[sturdy compass]

I literally had it open on another tab and you beat me 😭

[glass crown]

thank you!

[lament agate]

?

[jovial gate]

thank you

[daring fern]

Add () after get_id and remove the if

[latent raven]

Like this?

[daring fern]

Yes, but no, you would want to do SMODS.change_base(context.other_card, ...) ... being the random.

Outside of the return.

[daring fern]

I meant the if that is checking if fours > 0 and sevens > 0

[lament agate]

oh okay

[latent raven]

?

[daring fern]

You would get the key of the random suit.

[daring fern]

I meant the entire if and its conditions except the return.

[lament agate]

should be good now

?

[daring fern]

Also remove the variable declaration and the end

[lament agate]

which end

also which var

[latent raven]

and what do I do with the key?

[daring fern]

It doesn't matter, also the local fours, sevens

[daring fern]

You use it in SMODS.change_base

[sturdy compass]

Basically all you should do is add .key to the end of the pseudorandom_element call

[lament agate]

?

[daring fern]

You need to add the context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play back.

[lament agate]

?

[latent raven]

i really dont know what to do with that information

[sturdy compass]

Your call is set up correctly, it's just the one argument that's a little wrong. Do what I said here and it should work

[latent raven]

like that

?

[sturdy compass]

no

[latent raven]

damn

[sturdy compass]

pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Suits, pseudoseed('mysuit')).key

[latent raven]

alright

and what should I do next?

[sturdy compass]

It should work

[latent raven]

it doesnt do anything

[sturdy compass]

Show the full code

[lament agate]

@daring fern it doesnt retrigger for some reason

[sturdy compass]

Why are you checking for 0 hands played

[latent raven]

honestly idk

[lament agate]

the full code @daring fern

[sturdy compass]

yes it does?

[daring fern]

It's context.repetition not context.individual

[lament agate]

oh

oh fuck im stupid

hold on

[sturdy compass]

I'm positive it is not exclusive to that

[obsidian pagoda]

I do not know a 💩 about lua, and i want to make a texture pack replacing some of the collabs with my own textures. How can i do it?
I've already tried to make one from a template, but it didnt work.

[wintry solar]

You’re correct

[latent raven]

it still doesnt work :(

[wintry solar]

It’s just cardarea checks are kind of useless in most contexts for jokers

[sturdy compass]

change your hands played check from 0 to 1

[latent raven]

I did

should there be something in return?

[sturdy compass]

no

[latent raven]

it still doesnt work

current code

[hard mica]

i still dont know how to fix this

[daring fern]

Remove the card area check.

[sturdy compass]

I'm also unsure if context.other_card exists at this time either, so instead you might just wanna do context.scoring_hand[1] instead

[latent raven]

doesnt work

[sturdy compass]

try changing 1 back to 0 lol

Also you are starting a new run every time you test, right?

[latent raven]

yes

[sturdy compass]

ok good

[latent raven]

still nothing

[sturdy compass]

show again

[sturdy compass]

the

[latent raven]

so I replace the entire if context.after... with context.scoring_hand

[sturdy compass]

no

replace context.other_card with context.scoring_hand[1]

[latent raven]

still nothing

[sturdy compass]

bruh

try adding a print() after SMODS.change_base to make sure it's even running. If not, something's still wrong with your hands_played check

[latent raven]

like this?

[sturdy compass]

bro

On a new line

[latent raven]

ok my bad

[sturdy compass]

Put a string in the arguments too

smthn like print('The code worked!')

[latent raven]

ok there was an output

[sturdy compass]

hmm

then something's up with the change_base

[snow vale]

how can i knonw inside context.repetition if a card is enhanced?

[onyx sonnet]

is there a way to test if your in_pool condition is actually working without rerolling forever?

[daring fern]

if next(SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card))

[daring fern]

‎

[thorn furnace]

how would I go about setting the sell value of a consumable?

[sturdy compass]

card.cost = value

wait nope

[daring fern]

card.sell_cost = number

[thorn furnace]

is there a version that works when I'm defining the consumable

[sturdy compass]

I forgor they were two different values lol

[thorn furnace]

or would I just use sell_cost as a parameter

[daring fern]

No.

[thorn furnace]

unfortunate

[onyx sonnet]

can someone tell me if this in_pool is incorrect?

[high sinew]

If i wanna have my seal only create a card when it is discarded like purple and not make two if two cards are how can i do that? It rn creates two cards if u discard more than one with one having the seal

[onyx sonnet]

also check if the card has the seal i would guess

[high sinew]

what is the thing for it?

[onyx sonnet]

context.other_card.seal == 'whatever your seal name is'

[daring fern]

No, it's card.seal

[high sinew]

gotcha makes sense

[onyx sonnet]

ah

is ability for the values of the seal?

[daring fern]

Also it's modprefix_key not the name.

[daring fern]

Yes.

[onyx sonnet]

noted

[high sinew]

ye ik

[onyx sonnet]

i thought that was implied since rarely does something not require modprefix and key

[daring fern]

Atlases and consumable types don't require prefixes.

[onyx sonnet]

wow, i never noticed

about the consumable types i mean

the rarely was written with the understanding that atlases were exempt

[wintry solar]

You can do eval get_current_pool(‘Type’) using debugplus

[onyx sonnet]

[wintry solar]

Atlases do require mod prefixes, they’re just auto added in object creation if they’re missing

[high sinew]

still weirdly is making two consumables with two cards selected

just added the card.seal but still is outputting two

[daring fern]

‎

[wintry solar]

Is this in the seal object?

[high sinew]

yea the code is pretty short since similar to purple seal

[wintry solar]

if context.discard and context.other_card == card then iirc

[high sinew]

mmmm

such a good call

coffee hasnt fully set in my mind cant think like that bro 😅

[wintry solar]

No worries, I know an awful lot about calculation code

[high sinew]

i would bet the intro to code through ur stuff has been amazing

[storm roost]

Hello, I recently looked into modding balatro and I watched some videos and tried to follow along with what the videos were saying, but I couldn’t get it to work. If someone here would be so lovely to help me mod it that would be very appreciated

[sturdy compass]

#1349064230825103441 Would be very useful for you

[storm roost]

Thank you, I’ve watched some videos but the folders it mentions are not in the same place. I will try to use the guide you provided

[floral narwhal]

Hello im new too (i was new) , my way to understanding balatro modding was scanning a lot of balatro mods. you can try its very useful.

[bold sleet]

When I first started I tried to make some jokers, using the example repo as reference.

[snow vale]

how do i make it so it gives me 1$?

[daring fern]

dollars instead of money

[snow vale]

oh

ok

[bold sleet]

ease_dollars(1)

I'd say it should not return.

[snow vale]

it works

[bold sleet]

ah

then I shut up.

I though calculate only triggered once and when returning it would only work for the first scored card.

scored and matching.

[storm roost]

I’m not trying to create mods, I’m just trying to install mods

[bold sleet]

oh

I can try to help with that in a VC.

[floral narwhal]

Oh ok

[snow vale]

oh wait true

then how do i do it?

so it counts every 10

[bold sleet]

instead of returning, try ease_dollars(1)

[snow vale]

ok

[bold sleet]

-- ...
if c:get_id() == 10 then
  ease_dollars(1)
end
-- ...

[snow vale]

this channel is to develop mods, not to install

[bold sleet]

-# again, I am up to help you getting started.

[plush depot]

guys im out of ideas can someone help me idea

[bold sleet]

or use the mod loader

It does most stuff for you.

[snow vale]

the reaper, 1 in 4 for every scoring card to destroy it

[bold sleet]

API to centralize getting card information, such as rank, suit, key, edition, mod where it comes from, etc

[floral narwhal]

why when i play this hand type only 7 scores?

[plush depot]

is this the only effect or is it like also x3 mult

[snow vale]

no

[red flower]

what

[snow vale]

destroying cards is useful

[plush depot]

oh i thought u meant like any scoring card can destroy the joker

[snow vale]

no

i mean

1 in 4 each scoring card for that scoring card to be destroyed

[plush depot]

ah

[bold sleet]

Because uh... yeah. Shit like rank, suit, editions, seals, etc are just wherever the fuck.

I have a very horrid memory for stuff like that.

[red flower]

i mean you can literally make your own

like 1 line of code for each function

[snow vale]

how can i make it so if ive selected 2 it wont let me?

[bold sleet]

i did the function already because uh... ye

[daring fern]

return #G.hand.highlighted == 1?

[red flower]

i dont think it needs more than that then

[bold sleet]

if #G.hand.highlighted == 2 then return false else return true end

oh well

[buoyant crag]

is it possible to have a message appear above a card without returning, like in an event manager function?

[bold sleet]

card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, { message = "Upgrade!" })?

[daring fern]

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

[bold sleet]

I mean, it makes text appear under the card, like upgrades and whatever text you need.

[buoyant crag]

thanks, i'll try that. does that function also support other things you'd typically return, say mult or chips for example

[daring fern]

Yes.

[buoyant crag]

ok perfect, thats what i need

[floral narwhal]

can anyone tell me why please?

[plush depot]

can someone help understand what this means

for editions

[snow vale]

can someone send me the code for arrowhead?

[normal crest]

Mods/lovely/dump/card.lua, ctrl + f for "arrowhead"

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L3584

[normal crest]

Label is for the edition badge that is shown below the rarity of jokers for example

[plush depot]

where would it go in the code

(i hope this code is right)

[normal crest]

if you're not using a localization file then put it inside the loc_txt of your edition

it's loc_txt not loc_text

[plush depot]

oops

thanks for that correction

but i just put it in the loc_txt?

[normal crest]

yes

label = "whatever"

[plush depot]

ok

does shader go somewhere else?

[normal crest]

you put it in Atlas, not in Edition

it's meant to be in edition

[plush depot]

ah

im assuming this is saying "make the edition work idiot"

[normal crest]

That's saying you have something wrong with your atlas file

[plush depot]

"make it do something"

oh jeez

[normal crest]

Make sure it's within assets/1x and assets/2x

[plush depot]

i havent made the assets yet do i have to do that rq

[normal crest]

well if you want an atlas you need to have a file

[plush depot]

ok

[normal crest]

you don't need an atlas for an edition tho

[plush depot]

im beginner i figuring thing out

so i delete atlas???

or no

[normal crest]

if you're only making an edition yes

[plush depot]

wdym "only"

[chrome widget]

I thought the uv value that vanilla calculates in its shaders was supposed to cover only viewing one sprite of an atlas? Or am I misunderstanding what that means?

[normal crest]

as in, an edition is the only thing you're trying to add into the game right now

[plush depot]

no i have 3 jokers along with it

[normal crest]

then, if you want your jokers to have custom sprites you need an atlas

[rare torrent]

quick question how do i make the description text with red background and white text?

[normal crest]

{X:mult,C:white}text here{}

[chrome widget]

Do {X:mult,C:white}{} for the specific xmult example. the X: tag covers the background color

[daring fern]

There can't be spaces.

[plush depot]

chatgpt aint doing it bro

[rare torrent]

ok thank you guys

[normal crest]

you get what I was saying tho

[plush depot]

so i keep my atlas

[normal crest]

Replace <text here> with your text

[plush depot]

i have 3 jokers and am making an edition, i keep the atlas for the edition or no?

[normal crest]

editions don't need an atlas

jokers do

[plush depot]

so i delete it from the editions

edition

whatever

[chrome widget]

Editions require a shader parameter. You can check the SMODS docs for all the required values for each function https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Edition

[plush depot]

i did the shader

[chrome widget]

You seemingly put it in the Atlas call which is not how that works

[untold vigil]

Is this fine? So it destroys itself after 3 rounds and creates another joker

[normal crest]

yes

[plush depot]

well

it sorta worked

i dont have the texture for it yet but it says error

[normal crest]

Did you put the label

[chrome widget]

You need to have a label for the edition

[plush depot]

it does say label = Stock in my code

[normal crest]

you likely put it in the wrong spot then

[plush depot]

in loc_txt

[chrome widget]

Yeah that's in the wrong spot

[normal crest]

you put it inside text yeah

[plush depot]

o jeez

[normal crest]

put it after the closing bracket of text

or after name

whichever you prefer

also it needs to be a string

So "Stock"

[plush depot]

anything else

its now under name and has quotations

it works

[normal crest]

remove the path, px and py stuff from the edition

that's unnecessary

[pliant raft]

Ahem, sorry to interrupt but I wanted to ask why does the game uses two same sets of textures? It seems like in game it's only x1 but why does x2 exist?

[plush depot]

scaling stuff i think

[chrome widget]

It's something to do with texture scaling

It's kind of superfluous but it's just unfortunately how the game is setup. It helps it look a little crisper at higher resolutions basically

[bold sleet]

I see...

still sucks

[plush depot]

basically just make a 142x190 and then go to some website that resizes pictures and put it in there as 71x95

that worked for me

ok the last thing i need to do for my edition is how do i get the texture

[chrome widget]

I make all my sprites at 71x95 (or whatever the base res is), and then basically every image editing software has nearest neighbor scaling

Editions don't use textures

[normal crest]

editions work with shaders, and they're not beginner friendly

[plush depot]

how do i do it

pls tell 🙏

[chrome widget]

I have no idea what you're asking is the thing

[plush depot]

uh

hm

[chrome widget]

We've just established they don't use textures, so whats the question of what you want?

[normal crest]

I think it's for the "pixel art smoothing" in graphics settings

could be wrong

[plush depot]

how do i make it look like the foil or whatever

[chrome widget]

Write a shader

[plush depot]

make it look like it has texture

[chrome widget]

Which is not a beginner friendly task

[plush depot]

...and how would i do that

[chrome widget]

You'll have to look at the examples given by SMODS

[plush depot]

oh gee wizz

[chrome widget]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/EditionExamples

[normal crest]

You need a file under Mods/your mod/assets/shaders/whatever.fs

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/EditionExamples/assets/shaders/ionized.fs here is the SMODS example of one

[plush depot]

yes

[chrome widget]

Basically, shaders are calculated on your GPU. When drawing something to the screen, it does some math on the positions of the vertices of the object and on the colors of each individual screen pixel

I'm currently floundering around a relatively advanced shader rn

[normal crest]

@red flower just lost my 50/50 to fu xuan

[plush depot]

what would the "whatever.fs" be as a file

like a word doc or

[normal crest]

here is an example of one

[chrome widget]

technically it's just a specifically formatted text file, but that's what basically any code file is

https://love2d.org/wiki/love.graphics.newShader

Here's also an overview of shaders in love2D

Which are a specific implementation of GLSL (open GL shader languge)

[plush depot]

wait but shader = false

[chrome widget]

Yeah, that means for right now your edition just doesn't display a shader

[plush depot]

ah

ok

what code language is the shaders in is it lua or glsl

[faint yacht]

Shaders GLSL, similiar to Minecraft shaders.

[plush depot]

what do i replace

[normal crest]

the thing right under that comment

you'd change "ionized" for your shader name

[plush depot]

stock

[normal crest]

that comment refers to this line extern PRECISION vec2 ionized;

[chrome widget]

you also don't actually need one if you aren't goingto use it

[normal crest]

presumably they want to make a shader

idk

[chrome widget]

No I mean

You can def make a shader without that specific variable

And you can pass in variables as you wish using the shader definition as well

You aren't limited to that one

[plush depot]

but from my understanding, if u want it to look like something it must be a shader

[normal crest]

but that variable has specific information about the card ingame

[chrome widget]

I really do enjoy being misunderstood. Have fun

[plush depot]

im just gonna give up and have someone volunteerly do it for me if they want to

[red flower]

damn...

[normal crest]

it's okay, I've reached the acceptance state, it's not the worst case scenario

so I'm satisfied

[sonic cedar]

is this a good way to put it like does it make snes
(this is the readme)

sense

not

super mario world

[tall wharf]

how do i take over a consumable's use functionm

[sonic cedar]

isnt it literally take_ownership

[tall wharf]

more precisely how do i get the original function

[sonic cedar]

oh i just look at the dump and then recreate

like here how i did with wheel (minus the ectoplasm and hex because the key will focus on the wheel)

(og dump function for comparison)

[normal crest]

there is no original function, they're all jammed into one in the source (Card:use_consumeable)

[tall wharf]

😭

[sonic cedar]

yeah thats why i had to like splice things 😭

nix all the ecto-hex stuff

[normal crest]

so yeah, your best bet to get the "original function" is to copy the relevant part from the source

(which can bring cross-mod issues if any other mod has a lovely patch affecting one of them)

[sonic cedar]

(also true)

oh my god i didnt put that in the readme i should do that

[normal crest]

to be fair your take_ownership thing can probably be done in a lovely patch

i don't know everything you've added to the original but it might be better to go that route

[tall wharf]

true

[red flower]

take_ownership seems very conflictive in general

[untold vigil]

Is this fine to autodestroy and create another joker?

[red flower]

like I've seen multiple people wanting to affect lucky chances

[sonic cedar]

something's in the air

[rapid stag]

i just realised something

i want to, on startup, randomly move the location of the quit button to the options menu. but i'm not sure how to implement that outside of the randomness how can i hide the default quit buttons and put a new one in the options menu?

[stiff quiver]

@thorny yacht

[primal robin]

We did it again

[red flower]

poor Mods

[normal crest]

that wasn't even a role mention

[violet oasis]

Is there an equivalent to G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.key == "j_joker", but that works for a ObjectType I created? Say I made a "Birds" ObjectType and populated the pool with a few jokers, how would I go about checking if I have a joker that is in the "Birds" pool?

[stiff quiver]

yeah i shouldnt have pinged them sorry

[red flower]

oh god

[primal robin]

2 in a row????

[violet oasis]

damn so fast

[rapid stag]

BACK TO BACK?!

[primal robin]

No way

[red flower]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[sonic cedar]

i have the sudden urge to click a steam link.,,,,

[stiff quiver]

i made this to spawn 6 kings of spades and six kings of hearts but its giving me random cards, whats wrong? lua for i=1,12 do G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function() local _rank = "13" local _suit = "S" if i < 7 then local _suit = "S" else local _suit = "H" end local _card = create_playing_card({ front = G.P_CARDS[_suit..'_'.._rank], center = G.P_CENTERS.c_base}, G.deck, nil, nil, {G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Enhanced}) return true end}))

[sonic cedar]

wait for it

[normal crest]

is the scam message still there for you guys

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[primal robin]

Yes

[sonic cedar]

why
is it a bug

[normal crest]

they banned them without deleting messages

i guess

[primal robin]

Some mod ban user without checking a box "deete all user's messages"

[sonic cedar]

smh

hooray

[tall wharf]

hewwo

[sonic cedar]

hiiii aiko

[tall wharf]

ii tthink i didi t

[primal robin]

You did it?

[clever rose]

what is the variable that stores how much money you have?

[tall wharf]

G.GAME.dollars ?

[clever rose]

ok thanks

[rare torrent]

how do i make it calculate this when the first number card in played hand is scored? basically like the photograph joker but instead of mult it gets the first number card digit and uses it to get a number based on the order of pi calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.joker_main and context.full_hand and #context.full_hand > 0 then for i, c in ipairs(context.full_hand) do local rank = c:get_id() if rank >= 2 and rank <= 10 then local pi_val = pi_digits[rank] card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, { message = "+" .. tostring(pi_val) .. " Mult" }) return { mult_mod = pi_val } end end end end
right now it only calculates it at the end when all the jokers are played

[primal robin]

THREE????

[sonic cedar]

bruh

[primal robin]

Impossible

[sonic cedar]

ohhh moderators gif

[primal robin]

Anyway

Motion sickness warning video:

[sonic cedar]

i paused it the moment i saw you crank the screenshake

im gonna get you

[primal robin]

Even with this kind of acceleration look like game works normally

[rapid stag]

bump

[normal crest]

you want if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1] (aka, whenever the first scoring card scores)

also use mult instead of mult_mod in the return if you're not including a message

[tight notch]

does anyone know how to enable these "optional features"?

[normal crest]

smt like this

[rapid stag]

heres how i did it for retrigger_joker and post_trigger you generally want to be doing something similar.

[normal crest]

preferably do that in your entry file, and you can just refer to your own mod as SMODS.current_mod

[sonic cedar]

i did it for these four

[normal crest]

also it can be a function that returns a table or just a table

up to preference i guess, idk why both are allowed

[rapid stag]

SMODS.current_mod is not reliable and can return other mods than your own
that's why i did find_mod with my mod id

[normal crest]

If you do that outside the loading stage yes

but this is something you should do during the loading stage of your mod

[sonic cedar]

i actually have to update my cases of such to my mod ref

[zenith sage]

what is the "entry file"

[rapid stag]

your main mod lua file

[normal crest]

the lua file that gets executed in your mod

[sonic cedar]

[The Big One]

[tight notch]

entry file as in like main.lua correct?

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[tight notch]

oh ok

[sonic cedar]

the thing you typically load subfiles from
i wonder if there's a better way to do this*

*with proper ordering

[normal crest]

it doesn't realllyyy have to be there, cus you can load other files, but still

i'd recommend putting it in there if you're unsure

[zenith sage]

any chance i could see more of the file? i didnt have one previously and im interested in adding one

[tight notch]

i actually used assert for this, is that the same?

[civic elm]

I'm new to coding, so can someone help me understand why this either spawns a random Legendary or crashes instead of working?

[tight notch]

it seems to work fine

[sonic cedar]

assert is fine

[tight notch]

also do I use retrigger check or retrigger for retriggers

[normal crest]

I recommend using SMODS.add_card instead of the vanilla functions

the issue here, if I had to guess, is that in the vanilla functions the rarity is a number and not a strng

not mentioned in the wiki but for rarity you can pass "Common", "Uncommon" or "Rare" if you want your code to be more legible

[sonic cedar]

come again

[tight notch]

i see that some mods use "retrigger_joker_check and not retrigger_joker"

[civic elm]

Where would I put the editions and seals or other stuff, since its blank format is "SMODS.add_card(t)"? In the parenthesises?

[tight notch]

so is that what I should use

[normal crest]

From your code I assume you wanna spawn an eternal oops all 6s?

[civic elm]

Correct.

[normal crest]

SMODS.add_card { key = 'j_oops', stickers = { 'eternal' } }

is all you'd need

[civic elm]

Thank you!

[urban wasp]

is there any way to make this joker not crash whilst still making the message color my rarity color?

return {
    message = "+" .. lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.create) .. " Trash Jokers",
    colour = "crp_trash",
}

it currently really doesn't like when i do this

[normal crest]

cus colour is not meant to be a string

[urban wasp]

then how do i fix this? i want the bg to be the same as my rarity color, trash

[normal crest]

I think what you want to do is colour = G.C.RARITY.crp_trash but i'm not 100% sure

[faint yacht]

Yes... I do it.

for _, file in ipairs{"1.lua", "2.lua", "items/1.lua", "farts/aeiou.lua"} do
    assert(SMODS.load_file(file))()
end

[normal crest]

assuming crp is your mod prefix

[urban wasp]

ah okay

[normal crest]

their code is more legible imo, and that's more important

[faint yacht]

A valid point, just throwing my 2 bites out there.

[urban wasp]

game hard crashes when it tries to display this

[sonic cedar]

jesse story mode gif

[normal crest]

do you have debug plus installed

[faint yacht]

That... and my crossmod loading is pretty much the same, although the conditions can be confusing to some.

[urban wasp]

yes

[normal crest]

can you put eval G.C.RARITY in the console

just to see what itactually has

[sonic cedar]

that mightve been old retrigger_joker im not the surest

[urban wasp]

got a bunch of stuff

uhh

crp_trash is in the list

[normal crest]

huh, well maybe your crash wasn't the color thing then

what was the crash exactly

[urban wasp]

again, it was a hard crash

just died

[normal crest]

no crash log?

[urban wasp]

nope

[civic elm]

I don't know what I did, because this is all I have...

[normal crest]

does it crash if you do colour = G.C.MULT

[urban wasp]

i'll try that

[normal crest]

you have to return true after the add_card line

cus it's inside an event

if you don't, the event will just repeat until it returns true (which in your case would repeat forever)

[formal parrot]

Can i ass shaders to tarot cards without it being an edition ?

[urban wasp]

works fine

[red flower]

yes, using drawsteps

[urban wasp]

"ass" 🥀

[formal parrot]

Uhh how exactly

[normal crest]

if you do eval G.C.RARITY.crp_trash does it print smt

[red flower]

i have this one that adds a shader to jokers that meet certain conditions, you would just change the condition to check for tarots
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/ba699ffdde89a3bcd438e1111ecff78c1bdd2924/src/others/Shaders.lua#L7

[urban wasp]

it prints a big table

[rapid stag]

bump

[normal crest]

can you screenshot it, it shouldn't

[urban wasp]

just lists out my mod's stuff

[normal crest]

okay that makes no sense, why would smods put your entire rarity into the color table

regardless it still looks like it has the color indexes

[urban wasp]

this is the code for the rarity, if it's my fault

local trash_gradient = SMODS.Gradient({
    key="trash",
    colours = {
        HEX("989898"),
        HEX("272727")
    },
    cycle = 5
})
...
SMODS.Rarity({
    key = "trash",
    badge_colour = trash_gradient,
    default_weight = 0.005,
    pools = { ["Joker"] = true },
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end
})

[normal crest]

Oh

try colour = trash_gradient maybe?

[urban wasp]

if it has the color indices, it should work right?

[urban wasp]

oh true i'll try that

[normal crest]

to my knowledge yes, but it seems my knowledge is lacking now lol

[urban wasp]

this just gives the default orange bg

return {
    message = "+" .. lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.create) .. " Trash Jokers",
    colour = trash_gradient,
}

[normal crest]

I mean a gradient is constantly changing color so maybe you hit a moment when it was orange?

[red flower]

maybe return doesn't take gradients

[normal crest]

Idk anymore

[normal crest]

But I thought a gradient was just a 4 length array whose values are constantly changing

[urban wasp]

trash's gradient is completely gray

[red flower]

yeah but idk

[urban wasp]

maybe it has to do with the fact that my rarity.lua (where trash_gradient is defined) is loaded after joker.lua (where the joker that creates trash jokers is defined)?

i'm not sure

[red flower]

maybe try SMODS.Gradients.prefix_key

[normal crest]

well that'd do it

[urban wasp]

i'll try this, then try loading joker.lua after rarity.lua

[normal crest]

so trash_gradient is a local variable in a different file, aka it doesn't exist in your joker file, so passing nil to colour would indeed give you the default color

[urban wasp]

yeah that tracks

[normal crest]

it won't matter if you load one first or the other

[urban wasp]

this hard crashes; i'm going to try defining trash_gradient in joker.lua to remedy the issue

[normal crest]

but then it won't exist in your rarity file

cus it's local

[urban wasp]

well no like

[normal crest]

you would have to make it a global variable

[urban wasp]

copying it over

not moving it

[urban wasp]

how?

[normal crest]

crp_trash_gradient = SMODS.Gradientetc etc

without the local keyword

I added your mod prefix to the variable name cus that's good practice when making global stuff

[urban wasp]

so just this in rarity.lua instead of what i had before?

crp_trash_gradient = SMODS.Gradient({
    key="trash",
    colours = {
        HEX("989898"),
        HEX("272727")
    },
    cycle = 5
})

[normal crest]

yeah, and make sure to change where you previously used the old name
