tho if this crashed I don't have much hope for this working

[rare torrent]

    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1] 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 = pi_val }
            end
        end
    end
end``` like this? it now counts 2 times the mult

[urban wasp]

everywhere i put trash_gradient is showing up as orange in vs code which isn't a good sign

[normal crest]

remove the card_eval_status_text call

[normal crest]

now you have to refer to it as crp_trash_gradient

[urban wasp]

yes

[normal crest]

you changed the variable name remember

[urban wasp]

i know

[normal crest]

oh

[normal crest]

then dw, vscode doesn't know better

[urban wasp]

anyway game crashed

[normal crest]

rip

[red flower]

there isnt a crash log?

[urban wasp]

nope

just hard crash

every time

[normal crest]

I mean G.C.RARITY.crp_trash should've worked in the first place, so I guess return statements don't like gradients

which is weird cus if you do colour = G.C.EDITION it'll work just fine

[red flower]

let me try

[urban wasp]

yeah i'm just gonna define a local variable in joker.lua that is the average of my gradient and use that as the color

[rare torrent]

ok yeah it's working now, but it plays on the first card, not the first number card

[red flower]

oh yeah it just hard crashes

[urban wasp]

yeah

i just ended up doing this

return {
    message = "+" .. lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.create) .. " Trash Jokers",
    colour = HEX("606060"),
}

[normal crest]

can you try making a new table that just has the first 4 indexes of the gradient

[normal crest]

oh, I didn't catch that part

[red flower]

works

[last sentinel]

would there be a good way to generalize this table so it can support modded hands? It's all the poker hands that "contain" the index hand (four of a kind necessarily 'contains' a three of a kind, pair, etc)

[normal crest]

the reason it does on the first card is cus of the context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1], you'd have to find the index of the first number card

[normal crest]

classic

I guess all the extra stuff it has is not helping

[red flower]

not really, but when evaluating the poker hands it always evaluates all the things it contains. what do you need this for?

[last sentinel]

just a joker that operates on that table. makes planet cards have a chance to promote one of the hands that its a subset of

[limber blaze]

you could sort hands based on their order in G.GAME.hands and do stuff that way to generalise but it still seems really complicated

[red flower]

not every hand is composed of other hands

[limber blaze]

but yeah you dont even need a custom table here

get_poker_hand_info returns a table poker_hands as one of its return values, (which also exists under context.poker_hands in some contexts) which allows you to check for hands even if they arent the main hand for this purpose

for example when playing a pair next(poker_hands["High Card"]) still returns true

[rapid stag]

bump

[limber blaze]

so youd loop over poker_hands then check if next(value) == true and that means that hand is a subset of the current hand

orr i guess you dont need == true here i forgot lua for a second

[last sentinel]

ooh okay. only issue is that it's going through planet cards not played hands, so i'd probably have to use the cards in the example hands? but then at the same time guarantee the example hand aren't accidentally another hand as well

[limber blaze]

for planets its a little more complicated since you wont have a poker hands table

but you could technically abuse the example of the levelled up poker hand

to get a fake hand to pass into get_poker_hand_info

seems janky though

[red flower]

yeah that wont work with my poker hands for example because they're all enhancement based

[limber blaze]

why not? just make the dummy hand copy over the enhancements

[last sentinel]

janky is what this community runs on lmfao ill play with it and see if i can get somewhere

[red flower]

because the contained poker hands will be different every time

[limber blaze]

oh

well theres not really a better solution other than hardcoding it which is worse

since it will work even less

[red flower]

yeah

[last sentinel]

Yeahh the idea might be a bit too specific to be able to broadly work for modded hands. Might just add a check and if its a modded hand its just "chance to upgrade any other poker hand"

[limber blaze]

like any other possible version of this idea would be less janky to implement 😭

planets levelling up a random lower hand that doesnt need to be a subset or levelling up a subset of the played hand for example

[last sentinel]

yeah, the whole crux of the idea that i like though is that it makes Pluto more powerful

Oh but its also not leveling it up one level its applying Pluto's l_mult and l_chips to the other hands so like Pluto gives a teeny wittle buff to the other hands but upgrading mars can still give you enough occasional leving to 5 of a Kind that you can make a pivot without sacrificing wasted leveling

but anyways yeah, finished up all my jokers and was happy with them but going back and trying to make them more broadly cross-mod compatible

[tight notch]

this joker crashes the game for some reason, the error says other_joker is a nil value

something along the lines of that anyway

[rapid stag]

because when it's checking the conditions, it has to evaluate the variables

so when it enters the first condition in the instance where you want your second condition inside that condition to be triggered, it's trying to index context.other_joker when it's nil

[red flower]

im pretty sure it's other_card not other_joker, and don't use self, use card

[rapid stag]

and vice versa, since those conditions aren't exclusive of each other

[tight notch]

so how would I fix it?

[red flower]

what are you talking about

[rapid stag]

...is other_joker not a thing? i thoughti t was a thing during post_trigger

[tight notch]

the joker retriggers all negative cards and jokers btw

[red flower]

maybe it is idk never did retriggers

[tight notch]

other joker is a thing, i've used it in other jokers before and it works

[red flower]

but then other_card is wrong

it's one or the other

[rapid stag]

they want to retrigger all negative cards and jokers, though, right? i think the idea there is other_joker for retriggering negative jokers and other_card for retriggering negative cards in played hand

in which case, the nesting is kinda wrong? since i don't think retrigger_joker_check happens on cards when a hand is played

[red flower]

yeah im not talking about the lower if

[modern kindle]

hi besties i hope youre having a fantastic day

[tight notch]

i wasn't sure wether to use it considering it's not documented

[red flower]

the nesting looks correct to me

[red flower]

just checked, it's other_card

[rapid stag]

[tight notch]

like instead of...?

[red flower]

instead of other_joker

[rapid stag]

instead of other_joker

[tight notch]

alr

i wonder why it works for the others though

[red flower]

idk

other_joker is its own context tho

[rapid stag]

yeah even in context.post_trigger it's other_card

[tight notch]

so like this?

[red flower]

yeah
change self for card tho

[tight notch]

alr

[rare torrent]

how do i make the description not be this wide💀

[tight notch]

use multiple lines

text = {
  "thing",
  "thing 2"
}```

in loc_txt or your localization file

[rare torrent]

ah damm that simple?

[tight notch]

a better example

[rare torrent]

yeah it works but also what's the color name of this color?

ah nvm it's attention

[red flower]

[ashen atlas]

any ideas on what lua file the default jokers are stored in?

[turbid maple]

card dot lua

[red flower]

what for

[turbid maple]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/tree/591b7129f30d2ab2ea4b47782d004294fd94b440

this is a better reference if you want to look at them for help with making things though

[ashen atlas]

just want to make a joker and needed to read the code for the effect that i want

[turbid maple]

these are vanilla jokers remade with the smods api

okay then definitely reference the link I sent

[formal parrot]

I swear

N is my hero

[ashen atlas]

yeah looking through it now, and it is exactly what i needed thx!

[vale plinth]

My god thank you so much

what does this do?

[ashen atlas]

so it looks like the main VanillaRemade.lua will load the other additions

instead of having it all in one LUA file

[vale plinth]

ohhh

that makes sense, thanks

[ashen atlas]

no problem im just reading through it myself right now

[vale plinth]

fire profile btw 😭

[ashen atlas]

thx

[urban wasp]

how do i make a deck start with a certain amount of money?

[red flower]

[urban wasp]

ah thanks

[rapid stag]

bump

[plush depot]

what this mean

[rapid stag]

whatever you're trying to loop, the thing in your ipairs function is a string, when it wants a table

[plush depot]

im make sticker

i really hope i did this right and i dont need smods.atlas

[red flower]

text has to be a table

[plush depot]

how do i do that

[brave chasm]

you forgot to put {brackets} around the text input

[rapid stag]

yeah, text needs to be lua text = { 'Line 1', 'Line 2' }
etc.

[brave chasm]

like this:

         'other round' }```

[plush depot]

boom

[brave chasm]

there, that should work now

[plush depot]

nope

same error message

[brave chasm]

did you save the file

[plush depot]

yes

[tight notch]

does anyone here know anything about the cardsleeves mod?

[plush depot]

nope

now to make texture for it

uh

how do i do that

what should i use

[brave chasm]

whatever software or web program works

a good free one is libresprite

[plush depot]

what about piskel

[brave chasm]

that would work too

[boreal vale]

Is it possible to make a modded joker spawn another modded joker?

[plush depot]

i made these on piskel

E, jimbos father, and Noker

[tight notch]

aseprite is the best app for pixel art imo

[plush depot]

but what are the dimensions of the sticker lol

[tight notch]

but it's not technically free

[tight notch]

if you add the prefix it should be

for example cryptid's prefix is cry_

[brave chasm]

for a sticker, you wanna use the same dimensions as the cards, just position the sticker where you want it to be on the card

[plush depot]

ah

[brave chasm]

while i'm here, i'm having an issue with card retriggers. i'm trying to make a seal that, on scoring, retriggers the card to the left. the issue is that when it retriggers that card, it triggers the original card again which i don't want it to do. i imagine that it's just setting the card to the previous one and then continuing forward, which ends up triggering the main one again. is there a way i can avoid it?

[tight notch]

if so, how would I make a sleeve disable the effects of a certain deck

[boreal vale]

Do I need to specify the prefix for each joker?

[tight notch]

?

[boreal vale]

Where does the prefix come from

[tight notch]

the mod

in the main json file you specify your mod's prefix

so you would check that json in the other mod

[boreal vale]

Oh I’m trying to create one from my own mod lol

[tight notch]

like make a new joker?

if you want to spawn a joker from your mod i don't think you need the prefix

[boreal vale]

I tried putting the key and it didn’t work

[tight notch]

screenshot?

[normal crest]

what's your code

[tight notch]

of code

[rapid stag]

bump

[normal crest]

Yeah you need the prefix

j_modprefix_key

where modprefix is your mod prefix, duh, and key is the joker's key

[boreal vale]

Ah I see

[plush depot]

do i delete the card texture now???????

like the card part

[brave chasm]

yeah, you just want the sticker

but leave the file the same size

just make everything but the sticker transparent

[plush depot]

ok

i now have the texture

where do i put it in the code

and do i make a new folder other than x1 and x2 for it?

[brave chasm]

no it also goes in the 1x and 2x folders

[plush depot]

ok

[brave chasm]

you just add the texture the same way you would for a normal joker

[plush depot]

ok

so path = 50UseSticker.png?

[umbral zodiac]

is there a way to scale a floating sprite? trying to add my own joker to the main menu similar to how cryptid does it but the face sprite is laughably teeny tiny

[plush depot]

nope

[plush depot]

didnt work 😦

[red flower]

you need to create an SMODS.Atlas

[plush depot]

oops

[outer basalt]

how would one get the amount of money currently in possession

[umbral zodiac]

G.GAME.dollars

[outer basalt]

epic

iirc isnt there something with like. tobig() you have to do or?

[umbral zodiac]

just dont compare number with table and you should be fine

so you will have to to_big() the values youre comparing it against

[outer basalt]

aight

ty

[umbral zodiac]

the place next to the ocean

[outer basalt]

beach

[umbral zodiac]

shore

[outer basalt]

oh

[umbral zodiac]

god. WHY AM I TINY

[plush depot]

a beach is an ocean and a shore

[outer basalt]

okay jimmy beach

[plush depot]

thats what the B means

[plush depot]

is there anything wrong that im being silly about

i see it now nvm

nvm again no i dont

somoene help

[oblique pond]

uncapitalize the U in atlas?

might be case sensitive, not sure

[tight notch]

it is case sensitive

always assume case sensitive when it comes to programming

[plush depot]

its still saying no

same error message

[tight notch]

did you save

[plush depot]

yes

[tight notch]

resend code

[plush depot]

no

i didnt save

[tight notch]

bump

[plush depot]

now i just need to make the thing that says "error" work and make the thing do the thing it says

[tight notch]

can you send your mod metadata file

or the stickers code

both preferably

[spare wren]

how would I make a joker that applies the "X2 Mult" message multiple times in 1 context.individual calculate call?

I can only do this by returning a table of the message or pop up for the joker but I need to return multiple for this

would I use the event manager? how do I make the event manager do the "X2 Mult" or "X2 Chips" thing?

[lucid owl]

is there something similar to Blind:press_play() that can be used on a joker, aka right when a hand is played?

[spare wren]

specifically I'm working on something similar to Observatory where it applies X2 Mult and X2 Chips for each Planet in G.consumeables.cards, but I don't know how to loop through every consumeable per hand played

[tight notch]

you need a hashtag before the hex code

#50C878

and don't use that prefix

you will regret it

[plush depot]

no my mod metadata works fine

[lucid owl]

this is false

[tight notch]

nvm

[spare wren]

does anyone know

rahhh

[tight notch]

for me i got the same issue when not adding the #

[tight notch]

bump

[plush depot]

its the tag that says "50% Use"

[lucid owl]

so you're looking to loop through all consumables after a hand is played, and give a bonus depending on that?

[spare wren]

yep

[lucid owl]

is this for a joker?

[spare wren]

yep

but i can't do this using context.individual because context.cardarea is never G.consumeables (other than using a consumable)

[lucid owl]

yeah don't use context.individual

[rapid stag]

bump

[spare wren]

so without the help of seperate calls on calculate(...) by context.individual I can't return multiple messages to show X2 Mult

[lucid owl]

i think you're just going to want to loop through every consumable card when a hand is played

[spare wren]

yeah i know that

but what about the popup

for x2 mult or chips

[lucid owl]

card_eval_status_text()

[spare wren]

ah

[lucid owl]

that'll give you a text popup without needing to return

[spare wren]

thats good

how do I multiply the scored mult? stupid question but I cba checking the smods documentation

it should be a simple answer anyways

[lucid owl]

you'll want something like card_eval_status_text(card, "extra", nil, nil, nil, {message = "etc etc",})

[lucid owl]

what are you meaning? like, the scored mult on the side?

[spare wren]

yep

[lucid owl]

hmm, that one may be a bit more difficult

you could always compound all the mult together and give it at the end

let me think

[spare wren]

no not that

my thing only fires when everything is done scoring

so I'd just have to multiply the currently scored mult by 2

it should be decently simple no? it's the equivalent of doing

return {
  x_mult = 2
}

[lucid owl]

ohh, you'll likely want something like context.after or context.final_scoring_step

[spare wren]

yeah I know

that's fine

well I'm currently using context.post_joker but that isn't the problem

[lucid owl]

well i'm a little confused on what you're wanting to do here then

[plush depot]

where would i put the code to make it say "50% use" in red when it is applied to a joker

also what would i type

[red flower]

context.other_consumeable?

[spare wren]

no

I'm not having this applied by using consumeables so context.other_consumeable will always be nil

[spare wren]

I literally just have to apply 2X mult lol

without returning

[red flower]

that's not what that context does

[lucid owl]

is there a context for right when the hand is played? i'm looking to do something very similar to the hook blind, and context.before has a delay

[red flower]

that context works like observatory

[red flower]

context.press_play i think

[spare wren]

yes but there is no context.individual loop that has a G.consumeables context.cardarea

[lucid owl]

oh damn, that's probably perfect

[red flower]

yes, other_consumeable

[plush depot]

bump

[red flower]

it's a different context

[spare wren]

oh, I didn't know context.other_joker also iterated over consumeables

shit mb lol

wait no

[red flower]

yes

[spare wren]

oh yeah it does

okay

[vale plinth]

alt f4, haha get it

[red flower]

it's just called other_consumeable instead of otehr_joker

[spare wren]

I see

thank you

[spare wren]

okay so, this works, but my only problem now is even though I'm doing this:

return {
    x_mult = self.ability.extra.x_mult_per_planet,
    x_chips = self.ability.extra.x_chips_per_planet,
    card = context.other_consumeable
}

the X2 Mult and X2 Chips effects are on self, not context.other_consumeable

[red flower]

replace card = for message_card =

[spare wren]

that worked, very nice

[plush depot]

bump

[vale plinth]

in a file

[tight notch]

how would I edit the joker slots in a deck

like playing on it gives +2 joker slots

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/1ef3fa9be831bd31a321133f11a2604ea65c6ba0/src/backs.lua#L92

[tight notch]

how would i make it so that value changes?

[red flower]

use calculate

[tight notch]

like if this then give+2 joker slots if not then nothing

[tight notch]

how would i use it for that

[red flower]

modify G.jokers.config.card_limit

iirc

[tight notch]

alr

[tight notch]

how do I do that

[red flower]

G.jokers.config.card_limit = 6182

[tight notch]

like in the calculate function

do i return or

this is just what i have so far

[red flower]

well, first of all what's the condition for changing

[tight notch]

if you're playing on the modded deck i made

[red flower]

oh i dont know how decksleevs work sorry

let me check

[tight notch]

it's basically the same as making a deck

except that there are some extra contexts for calculate

[red flower]

then i would check how black sleeve does it

[tight notch]

well black sleeve is permanent

oh nvm

[red flower]

black sleeve changes depending on the deck from what i see but idk how it is set up

[tight notch]

for black sleeve it just kinda changes the config for black deck

i don't want the base deck to modify joker slots

[red flower]

what's the difference

[tight notch]

?

well the normal deck doesn't change your slots, and the sleeve is the same

but when combined you get +3 slots

bc you spawn with more jokers

[red flower]

ok, but you can do that by adding it to the config

[tight notch]

so i just add it to the config and then...?

and of the sleeve or deck

[red flower]

idk, you told me that's what it does lol

but the config in decks is automatic

[tight notch]

well that's a problem

[red flower]

joker_slots = 3 should give you 3 slots

[tight notch]

i want it so that only under the condition do you get an extra 3 slots

[red flower]

and the condition is that you have both the sleeve and the deck, right?

[tight notch]

yeah

[red flower]

then you can do what black sleeve does and change the config when you have that sleeve on that deck

[tight notch]

ah ok

so just have it at 0 normally

[red flower]

yes

or not having it should work too, you can add any new values to any table

[tight notch]

so it doesn't work

it just doens't apply the joker slots buff

[primal robin]

Question. Can something bad happen if I'll update event queue G.E_MANAGER:update(0, true) multiple times inside Game:update()?

So far it works fine, but maybe I don't know something

[chrome widget]

After days of stupid runarounds, this shader effect is finally done

[zenith sage]

my game is saying SMODS.find_mod is a nil value

[tight notch]

bump

[tight notch]

could you send code

[zenith sage]

this is the line local SMODS_NYCTO = SMODS.find_mod("NYCTO")

this is the block

function SMODS.INIT.NYCTO()

    -- file loading
    SMODS.load_file('ddcjokers.lua')()
    SMODS.load_file('ddcchallenges.lua')()

    -- config
    local SMODS_NYCTO = SMODS.find_mod("NYCTO")
    SMODS_NYCTO.optional_features = function ()
        return {
            post_trigger = true,
            retrigger_joker = true,
            quantum_enhancements = true,
            cardareas = {
                discard = true,
                deck = true
            }
        }
    end

end

[tight notch]

it needs to be a table

i think

[lament agate]

say, what to do if i want to make it so that it lasts for 2 rounds before self destructing?

[tight notch]

or maybe it isn't

also what you're doing isn't neccesary

idk if it's required but i would load files last

and second to enable optional features you can do this SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = { retrigger_joker = true, cardareas = true }

that's just from my mod so do what you will

i'm assumong that this is your main lua file

[zenith sage]

yeah

[tight notch]

if so you don't need everything in a function

do something like this

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = {
  the stuff
}

SMODS.load_file(stuff)()```

[violet oasis]

Is there something like G.jokers.cards[1].edition but for ObjectTypes I already defined? I added some vanilla jokers to an ObjectType called "Robot" and I want to check if one of my jokers is in there

[tight notch]

here's mine for example

[zenith sage]

do any of the files need the header?

[tight notch]

is robot a pool?

[zenith sage]

--- STEAMODDED HEADER
--- MOD_NAME: Nyctophilia
--- MOD_ID: NYCTO
--- MOD_AUTHOR: [Nycto, AnnaSH]
--- MOD_DESCRIPTION: Adds a few jokers.
--- BADGE_COLOR: c7638f
--- PREFIX: nycto

----------------------------------------------
------------MOD CODE -------------------------

[tight notch]

headers are deprecated

[zenith sage]

oki doki

[tight notch]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata use this instead and you can delete the headers

[tight notch]

bump

[violet oasis]

It's an ObjectType containing a few vanilla jokers. I also added it in the pool parameter for one of my custom jokers

[chrome widget]

😔 I should probably take a break from shader stuff and just make normal cards for a while

Ough

[tight notch]

im not sure about objecttypes that contain defined cards

[red flower]

ok second idea, use the sleeve's apply function and copy the black deck apply from vanilla remade

[tight notch]

alr

uh black deck doesn't have an apply in vanillaremade

[red flower]

it does

it's commented out

but you can copy that

[tight notch]

oooh didn't notice

[violet oasis]

I just wanted a simpler way to add a group of jokers as a condition for triggering one of my custom jokers, instead of adding each card as a separate condition. I thought ObjectType would be the best approach, but now I'm not sure it's intended for this purpose

[red flower]

im pretty sure it is for that

[violet oasis]

Is there any way to check for it? Something like G.jokers.cards[1].edition, but for the ObjectType?

[normal crest]

you can check if a joker is in the pool by going to G.P_CENTER_POOLS.<your pool name>

iirc

[outer basalt]

top 10 moments before comparing number with table

this is the code thats causing it

[red flower]

it's probably the return of calc_dollar_bonus

[outer basalt]

figures

do i need to store it locally before doing that?

[red flower]

no the problem is that you're returning a bignum

[outer basalt]

man

[normal crest]

I don't like talisman

[red flower]

I don't like talisman

[outer basalt]

😔

the price i pay for ^

[violet oasis]

In this case, what I would have to do is loop through the pool for each joker slot until I find a match?

[normal crest]

Unfortunately

It's not very efficient

[violet oasis]

damn

oh well it's something

thanks for the help

[red flower]

you can maybe generate a look up table once on startup or something

[normal crest]

I'd go that route too

problem is you have to make sure to generate it after every mod has loaded

[brave chasm]

is there a way to trigger a specific card in your played hand? im trying to make a seal retrigger the card to the left of it but using the normal repetition system retriggers the current card instead

[keen totem]

is it breaking copyright with all of these references to other games in a bunch of mods?

cause like

[red flower]

yes shush

[brave chasm]

im thinking maybe i can call a method that triggers the previous card if the current card has the seal

[outer basalt]

okay so plot twist. it isnt

its when i play a hand

[rapid stag]

bump

[red flower]

ok i assumed that talisman would take tables as returns

like at all

[normal crest]

you can make an argument that it's fair use

[outer basalt]

i mean this is another joker in my mod

so idk why the other guy is crashing??

[normal crest]

question, what is e_mult

[red flower]

but is that a bignum?

[outer basalt]

talisman thing for ^

[normal crest]

i see i see

[outer basalt]

its like. 25. (sell value of last sold card)

i guess the crashing one has decimals??

[red flower]

then that's not going to crash

no, it's because G.GAME.dollars is a table

[keen totem]

also unless its nintendo, no company is evil enough to kill someone for liking their game enough to make a mod for another game based on it

[red flower]

it's a bignum

[outer basalt]

w. why

[red flower]

because big number

big number funny

[keen totem]

big nums are tables

[outer basalt]

i

what

[keen totem]

to represent big ass numbers

luas limit is like 2^1024

[red flower]

see: https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/1ef3fa9be831bd31a321133f11a2604ea65c6ba0/src/jokers.lua#L4883

[outer basalt]

no i understand that part i just don't understand how big numbers can be tables LMAO

[red flower]

{mantissa, exponent}

[keen totem]

{base,exponent}

[tight notch]

does anyone know what could be causing this?

it just won't tell me what mod is the issue

[outer basalt]

this is like teaching a goldfish advanced calculus asdkjasd

alas i do not need to understand the math behind it all

[red flower]

it just makes it instead of one number being max_limit now you can have max_limit^max_limit

[outer basalt]

so like

2 numbers

[red flower]

yes

[outer basalt]

as one number?

[red flower]

yeah

[outer basalt]

dang

[red flower]

and omeganum is that but bigger

[keen totem]

regular num - 1e308
bignum - 1ee308 (1 with 1e308 zeros)
omeganum - youll never hit it, so who cares

[vale glen]

Is there no try-catch in Lua, to like, catch that error in the to_big() function and try something else

Like loading the number into a table in the function for comparison purposes

[red flower]

if there is no one has told me about it

[vale glen]

Sadness

[normal crest]

isn't that pcall

[red flower]

probably

but it would be hard to wrap smods functions in it unless you reimplement a bunch of stuff

[outer basalt]

anyways the crash isnt happening when i cash out anymore i can do that no prob but i still cant score 😭

[red flower]

did you know talisman recalculates the played poker hand 4 times during scoring

fun

[brave chasm]

guys please lmao

[red flower]

code?

[tight notch]

bump

[outer basalt]

you can prolly grab the card list and then do the card w seal + 1 and retrigger that

[normal crest]

this reminds me of paperback's bandaged cards, which took adding a new context for calculating retriggers on cards from playing cards

hopefully you find a better solution

[brave chasm]

this is what i had before, but it still retriggers the current card and not prevCard

[red flower]

yeah i tried something similar with enhancements and i couldn't get it to retrigger the other cards, only itself idk why

[brave chasm]

so is it not possible with the base framework?

[normal crest]

to my knowledge nope

[brave chasm]

damn

youd think there'd be a method specifically for scoring a card

[harsh shoal]

hii does anyone know how to call the sell cost of a joker? im starting to mod stuff and im trying to make a perkeo-thing that copies stuff bassed on sell value

[red flower]

joker.sell_cost

[normal crest]

https://github.com/Balatro-Paperback/paperback/blob/07539b371639a5a2e133a09042185e4306ca1af8/utilities/hooks.lua#L147 this is how i added it to paperback

[harsh shoal]

tyty

will try

[outer basalt]

Welcome to modding :)))

[harsh shoal]

tyyy ^^

[outer basalt]

so. its defineityly the commented line >:/

[brave chasm]

so would i just replace repetitions = 1 with calculate_repetitions(prevCard, context, 1)?

[red flower]

try to_number

[normal crest]

not at all

[brave chasm]

oh, so i just leave it as is?

alright

[normal crest]

wait.

[brave chasm]

?

[tight notch]

it seems like maybe an issue with my code, but i don't know what's causing it or what "mul" is

it only occurs when scoring cards and playing with my moddd sleeve+deck

[normal crest]

what that code is doing is adding a new context called paperback.repetitions_from_playing_card (which is currently only called on enhancements cus we didn't need it for anything else atm) that you can use inside the calculate function of the enhancement to add repetitions to other playing cards

[outer basalt]

livesaver as always 😭

[tight notch]

it's perfectly fine when using the individual deck or individual sleeve

[normal crest]

so if you want to implement this in your mod I recommend you change the paperback part with your mod id and modify the calculate_enhancement part with whichever is the equivalent to seals

[outer basalt]

that much work for a mult of ^2 </3

[normal crest]

which it seems there is no calculate_seal so idk

this might not even apply to seals

[brave chasm]

i think it might just be calculate

idk

[normal crest]

anyhow, it won't work if you just copy paste it, you need to modify it to your needs

[harsh shoal]

it worked tysmm ^^

[tight notch]

nvm

[violet oasis]

Yup, works perfectly. Thanks for the help you two!

[raven wing]

How can I make it so that the seed is refreshed each time the loop passes instead of just once per card scored?

[lament agate]

is_numbered is a thing right?

[faint yacht]

-# No?

[lament agate]

shit

what was it again

[chrome widget]

It would be not card:is_face()

[lament agate]

i want to give the player +15 chips for each played cards

[chrome widget]

Although I can't guarantee a modded card that's not a face card is implicitly numbered either depending on what bullshit the mod author does

Like Aikoyori lmao

[lament agate]

fair

[lament agate]

so like, what do i type

[chrome widget]

not context.other_card:is_face()

[lament agate]

thanks

?

[faint yacht]

-# me making 2s count as face cards:

[drifting vapor]

how would i use G.GAME.blind:set_blind() for a custom boss?

i can put G.P_BLINDS.bl_final_vessel in there just fine and it goes to the violet vessel but thats not what i want

EDIT:
For anyone else who finds this in the future, Solution Found!
G.GAME.blind:set_blind() asks for the blind OBJECT. NOT KEY.
What I was Doing:
G.GAME.blind:set_blind('bl_modid_bosskey', nil, nil)
when infact i was supposed to do
G.GAME.blind:set_blind(G.P_BLINDS['bl_modid_bosskey'], nil, nil)

[tawdry shale]

i might be stupid but how would one change the bg color in the splash menu of the game

bc this doesn't seem to be working rn

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/ba699ffdde89a3bcd438e1111ecff78c1bdd2924/src/general_ui.lua#L604

[chrome widget]

How does the stay_flipped calculation return work?

[lament agate]

did i do something wrong here

[red flower]

it's called when a card is drawn from one area to another and stay_flipped = true keeps it flipped face down and prevent_stay_flipped = true prevents it

[chrome widget]

No but I mean, are there specific contexts where it's valid?

Like just draw_cards or whatever it's called?

[red flower]

it's its own context

context.stay_flipped

[chrome widget]

Oh, I see

I love undocumented features

Either way if it allows me to replace some stuff I had used before, I'm all for it

[red flower]

yeah i added to my mod as soon as it was added it's cool

[chrome widget]

I had some kinda finnicky patches for a card that draws diamonds face down

[red flower]

yes, you need a more strict context check like adding context.individual

[lament agate]

thanks

[red flower]

also then and

[lament agate]

fixed

[lament agate]

wait, where do you add that

[red flower]

at the beginning of the first if condition

[lament agate]

oh okay

[wooden nexus]

Hey question: what args is a booster pack? (Like a standard playing card booster pack)

[red flower]

can you elaborate?

[lament agate]

?

[red flower]

yes, but now you need (get_id == 6 or get_id == 9) in parentheses

[lament agate]

sure

[lament agate]

which parentheses again

[red flower]

A and (B or C) and D

dont make me write the whole thing

[lament agate]

YOU WONT

hold on

this?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[red flower]

👍🌅🎧

[rapid stag]

bump

[zenith sage]

but like

why tho

[red flower]

i mean i dont have an answer for that but the main menu is like any other ui element

[normal crest]

aka: learn how ui works in balatro

[rapid stag]

where would i find the definition of the main menu ui

and the options menu ui for that matter

[normal crest]

idk, i'd start looking through functions/UI_definitions.lua maybe

[lament agate]

this will make it mutable for oa6 right?

the #

[normal crest]

if you pass the correct variable yes

[lament agate]

should be good

[red flower]

create_UIBox_main_menu_buttons

i recommend looking for the localization strings

[rapid stag]

G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1 otherwise it will crash when hovering in collection as G.GAME is nil when not in a run

[lament agate]

thank you

okay so

bad news

the XMult doesnt work

but the ## worked

[rapid stag]

what's your calculate looking like

[red flower]

i dont think this is true

[normal crest]

yeah that's not true

[rapid stag]

that happens for me

if i pass something via loc_vars that depends on G.GAME being indexable, it crashes when viewing it in collections in main menu

[red flower]

but vanilla does it so i cant blame you

damn

[keen totem]

im getting conflicting results for how to replace the title screen's logo

[red flower]

how does your config look like

[rapid stag]

SMODS.Atlas {
        key = "balatro",
        path = "(filepath to your image goes here)",
        px = 333,
        py = 216,
        prefix_config = { key = false }
    }

[red flower]

yeah you use xmult there but Xmult in the return

[lament agate]

case sensitive?

[red flower]

yeah

[normal crest]

always

[rapid stag]

i believe so, yes

[lament agate]

fml

[red flower]

oh wow didnt know this

[normal crest]

i'd love to see a programming language that's not case sensitive

[red flower]

brainfuck

[normal crest]

it needs to have letters

:(

[lament agate]

it does work but something tells me that something is wrong

[normal crest]

get a new copy of your joker

[lament agate]

oh

thats a thing??

okay yeah it works normally now

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[normal crest]

yeah the values of jokers save with the run

otherwise you'd just lose all the stats you got on your scaling joker if you ever left

[keen totem]

made a custom title logo

[lament agate]

i'd kneel if someone made the logo font

[chrome widget]

⚠️ LOVELY PATCHES DOWN. I REPEAT, LOVELY PATCHES DOWN ⚠️

Always feels good to shake a few

[normal crest]

but they're lovely!

[modern kindle]

ayyy me too bestie

[red flower]

latest smods release i removed like 10 of them

[keen totem]

would i theoretically be murdered by the YOMI hustle dev for adding a joker based on it

[red flower]

granted most of the PRs were mine

[crisp coral]

no

[chrome widget]

I keep seeing how many PRs you put in lmao

[modern kindle]

im gonna do a cool thing whenever i get back to working by pretending my patches are needed still regardless of changes

[zenith sage]

is there a context for "trying probability"

[keen totem]

what?

[normal crest]

nop

[chrome widget]

Honestly it'd be an incredible tool but no

[zenith sage]

would be nice

[red flower]

there's a pr for that

[normal crest]

is it your pr

[zenith sage]

was it yours

jynx

[red flower]

but seems hard to enforce

[red flower]

im not that smart

[crisp coral]

you are that smart tho

[red flower]

thank you myst

[chrome widget]

You're v smart. It seems like almost all of the really useful new features I've been leveraging are yours lmao

[normal crest]

i mean the pr looks like it's just replacing all pseudorandom calls with its own

[chrome widget]

That's kinda what it has to do if it wants a feature like that

Since vanilla doesn't wrap the entire thing in a function

[vale glen]

Experienced and dedicated, yeah. Been seeing a lot of your messages helping others here, and you even code on phone. Amaze.

[normal crest]

I know but it doesn't seem overly complicated, making the regex is the hardest part

[keen totem]

will destroy_cards just skip eternal cards or is that implementation manual?

[red flower]

i saw most of the smods team has been busy recently so i wanted to help a bit haha

[chrome widget]

Wugh I need to remove my lovely patch for quantum editions too

[normal crest]

it doesn't have an eternal check

[chrome widget]

I'm just gonna make it a function hook and update it ocasionally when smods changes something

Right now it's weird and annoying

[keen totem]

so if i destroy_cards an eternal itll still kill the card?

[red flower]

yes

[normal crest]

yep, that's on you, you monster

[keen totem]

so i need to custom code that bruh

how do i check if a card is eternal

[normal crest]

if it's a joker that destroys itself just make it non eternal compatible

otherwise yeah you have to check

if card.ability.eternal

pretty much

[untold vigil]

Is there something to correct?

[red flower]

is there something not working?

[normal crest]

this should be enough to say yes

[keen totem]

well duh

functions arent real

[red flower]

true!

all programming is made up

[normal crest]

who made it up

[vale glen]

up quarks

[red flower]

thunk

[normal crest]

what is the civil chatter role

[red flower]

i think that allowed you to be in thunk chat or smth?

[untold vigil]

When I set this up it crashed when I played a queen

[stark geode]

Python type shit

[normal crest]

you have your config formatted incorrectly

[red flower]

ive never seen this error message before

[stark geode]

Me when the photograph Xmult is in extra

[normal crest]

remove the } after 'Spades' and the { before invis_rounds

[normal crest]

more proof that you're smart

[zenith sage]

also is_face() doesnt need an argument

probably copied from the above line

[normal crest]

yes there is a lot wrong with that code but

they have to learn lua 😔

[vale glen]

the indentation is pain

[zenith sage]

indeed

[vale glen]

Doesn't VS Code have an autoformatting button at least, or is that an add-on

[red flower]

it does

[normal crest]

the addons provide the formatters

[zenith sage]

i do mine manually

is there

a balatro addon??

[red flower]

i have it on save

[vale glen]

Nod nod

[normal crest]

not a balatro addon, a lua addon

[zenith sage]

ohhh okay

[untold vigil]

Just that I don't have the security to use it

[red flower]

it's a bit annoying when i do PRs

[red flower]

you should always use it

[normal crest]

yes, now you shouldn't get the error you did (if you start a new run)

[untold vigil]

That's the quick fix stuff right? Just to know

[untold vigil]

When I get in vacations, which is in 2 or so weeks if I don't get into university right after

[crisp coral]

fuck security, who up downloading extensions from unknown sources

[red flower]

it doesn't fix stuff, just formats the code to look nicer

(sometimes it might add commas)

[normal crest]

you just right click and "format document" anywhere on the text

[chrome widget]

Okay I couldn't completely eliminate my multi-edition patch but I made it less stupid, which is acceptable

[vale glen]

Meanwhile, Axy in Notepad++, since VSC would likely lag with too many tabs open...

[chrome widget]

We ridin'

[red flower]

my vscode did lag a lot when i had a massive localization file

[zenith sage]

average nix user

[crisp coral]

does Axy actually need all of those tabs open at once

[normal crest]

I've never had lag with having too many vscode tabs open

[vale glen]

When we get bored with one thread of development, we switch to another one, and they all do different things, soooo

[crisp coral]

insane

[vale glen]

Some tabs are just for reference, like the compat_0_9_8 one, but most of them are to figure out what fields things have

Currently trying to figure out UI, get a sprite to change when it the user hovers over other nodes on the page

[crisp coral]

oh noooo UI

good luck o7

[vale glen]

But if that gets frustrating, can switch to looking at rarities, or replacing textures during play and restoring them when the card is sold, or so on

Will eventually think of storing card state between runs and per profile as well, to have things progress between runs. And if all that gets too frustrating, there's always updating things to add Joker Display stuff

[red flower]

i love jokerdisplay

[vale glen]

Yeah, it's so good

[red flower]

best mod ever

[normal crest]

i wonder who made it

[normal crest]

aka there's too much stuff to do and too little time

[red flower]

i need someone to do jokerdisplay for me i hate it

not the mod but the compat with my other mod

[vale glen]

xD

Still haven't learned Joker Display yet, so can't quite help there

[untold vigil]

Even with this it dosen't destroy itself and creates the other card

[vale glen]

Will definitely learn it eventually, just uh... the progress is horizontal, as you can see

[red flower]

let me know if you need any help with that

the wiki should cover most of it but im not that good at english or writing

[vale glen]

Mmh, documentation is difficult

[normal crest]

you don't put all of your code inside the return statement

and message is meant to be a string, not a table

SMODS.destroy_cards(card)
SMODS.add_card { key = 'j_sab_spade_king' }
return { message = "stuff" }

you want something like this

[lament agate]

is it possible to have 2 style in 1 string?

[untold vigil]

So it should be something like

          context(card.ability.extra.invis_rounds >= card.ability.extra.total_rounds) then
SMODS.destroy_cards(card)
SMODS.add_card { key = 'j_sab_spade_king' }
return { message = "stuff" }
  end
    end,```

with the (card) being the own card's key?

[normal crest]

the only thing you'd have to change there is the message

and please run the lua formatter on your file

[red flower]

wdym

[lament agate]

like

{C:inactive}Gains {C:blue}+15{} Chips{}

[red flower]

yes

the chips wont be colored tho

[normal crest]

Gains will be gray, +15 will be blue and Chips will be the default color

[untold vigil]

What?

[lament agate]

that sucks

let me figure out a way

[normal crest]

right click anywhere in your code and click "format document"

[lament agate]

also

one ladst question

[normal crest]

a way to do what?

[lament agate]

can i edit the message to be local

like message = 'bruh'

[normal crest]

first one

[normal crest]

it didn't do anything cus you have syntax errors

you need to fix those first

[normal crest]

you can pass a string to message yes

if that's what you meant

[lament agate]

thanks

actually 2 last question

how the hell do i make this joker endure 2 losses

ignore the text

[normal crest]

don't make it destroy itself when it saves you lol

[lament agate]

but like

[untold vigil]

Like this?

[lament agate]

i want it so that its still there until 2 losses

[normal crest]

you'd want a variable to keep track of how many times it can save you, decrement it each time it saves, and if it's less than or equal to 0 destroy itself

and you want that variable in your config

[normal crest]

yes this is way easier to read

thank you

[normal crest]

on the line right above SMODS.destroy_cards you want to remove the context( .. ) part, leaving the stuff inside the parenthesis but getting rid of the rest

[split saddle]

well my pc died so i can't work on my stuff anymore for the time being :/
in the meantime, how do the floating image jokers work? (legendaries & holo)

[normal crest]

in a joker definition you can optionally add soul_pos = { x = 0, y = 0 } which will take the sprite in that position of your atlas and make it floating

[untold vigil]

The joker isn't destroying itself

I'll keep doing this tomorrow tbh

[normal crest]

the condition card.ability.extra.invis_rounds >= card.ability.extra.total_rounds is always false

cus you're never modifying either of them

so that's why it's not destroying itself

[ashen atlas]

hey im trying to figure out how to destroy Hearts after they have been scored,
any ideas?

[zenith sage]

am i hooking this wrong

local add_to_deckref = Card.add_to_deck
function Card:add_to_deck(from_debuff)
    if not self.added_to_deck then
        if self.ability.name == 'Christmas Tree' then
            G.hand:change_size(self.ability.extra.h_size)
        end
    end
    add_to_deckref(self, from_debuff)
end

[zenith sage]

something like

if context.cardarea == G.jokers then
    if context.after and not context.blueprint then
        for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
            if v:is_suit("Hearts") then
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.3, blockable = false,
                    func = function()
                        G.hand:remove_card(v)
                        v:remove()
                    return true; end}))
                return true
            end
        end
    end
end

[ashen atlas]

going to test that out

[zenith sage]

wow thats super buggy lol

theres definitely a better way for that event to work

[ashen atlas]

i cant seem to get it to work at all lol

[zenith sage]

error?

[ashen atlas]

no error just not doing it

[zenith sage]

did you replace card with v

needs to be removing v

[normal crest]

if christmas tree is a joker you don't need to hook for this

you can add an add_to_deck function in your joker def

[zenith sage]

woah

thats sick as hell

[normal crest]

these two

[oblique pond]

question: how do you use no_ranks? this is what i've got inside but it doesn't work

            "A",
            "2",
            "3"
        }```

[zenith sage]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.jokers then
        if context.after and not context.blueprint then
            for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if v:is_suit("Hearts") then 
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            v:juice_up()
                            v:start_dissolve()
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

[keen totem]

no_ranks?

[ashen atlas]

i figured it out

[ashen atlas]

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroying_card then

for _, card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
    if card:is_suit("Hearts") then
  return {
                    message = "Upgraded",
                    remove = true
        }
    end
end

end

[keen totem]

are you talking about no_rank in enhancements or something else?

[oblique pond]

the challenge deck one that's supposed to remove ranks from a deck

it is named "no_ranks"

[ashen atlas]

@zenith sage thx for the help!

wait no now it destroys the whole hand if it has one heart in it lol

[normal crest]

like this it seems

[oblique pond]

ah, neat, thanks

[normal crest]

the number ids are just the numbers btw

T is for ten

[normal crest]

would it be context.blind == G.GAME.blind.boss?

[keen totem]

nah

just G.GAME.blind.boss

[hybrid shadow]

like that?

[keen totem]

yea

[hybrid shadow]

alr cool does not crash and works as intended

[thorn furnace]

What is the key of an enhancement
like steel or whatnot

[hardy viper]

c_steel iirc

[thorn furnace]

i keep getting editions and enhancements confused

[thorn furnace]

o
thanks :3

[hardy viper]

double check tho

i haven't modded in awhile

[thorn furnace]

o

[keen totem]

its c_base for unenhanced
m_key for everything else

[normal crest]

m_steel

[keen totem]

its stupid, but im assuming c_base works for editions too

so thats the point

[normal crest]

c for consumables, m for enhancements, e for editions, j for jokers

[hardy viper]

y for nothing

[steep rain]

[SMODS RReferences "items/jokers.lua"]:21: unexpected symbol near '='

[daring fern]

Code?

[thorn furnace]

what is it for modded
I can't figure it out

[daring fern]

m_modprefix_key?

[thorn furnace]

doesn't appear to be

oh
wait

[thorn furnace]

I just realized I forgot to have the game load the enhancement file

[steep rain]

I cant just type out the code in chat because I dont have Nitro

[daring fern]

You have an extra } before config

[steep rain]

But if I remove that, the game breaks

[daring fern]

What is the crash if you remove that then?

[steep rain]

are you talking about the
}
}
}

are you talking about those parenthesis?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[steep rain]

[SMODS RReferences "items/jokers.lua"]:26: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 8) near 'calculate'

so I need that parenthesis

[daring fern]

No.

[daring fern]

New code?

You're missing a , on the end of loc_vars

It's because since you're missing a , it thinks you want to end the table.

[steep rain]

That didnt fix it

I'm trying everything I could to fix it

[thorn furnace]

Is the negative edition functional on cards or does it require custom implementation

[steep rain]

ykwhat, I'll just fix this tomorrow

I'm tired

[daring fern]

Yes?

Negative works on cards?

[thorn furnace]

i mean like playing cards not jokers/consumables

[daring fern]

It works on those too.

[thorn furnace]

oki

[daring fern]

It's implemented by SMODS

[thorn furnace]

I wasn't 100% sure because like seals don't work on jokers for example

[daring fern]

Red seals are the only ones that do things on jokers normally.

[thorn furnace]

oh

still

[frigid blaze]

Tell me if there is an author of All in jest mod here

[rugged pier]

just send a message in that thread?

[tall wharf]

i ego browsed this and null cards are forced to not be face cards

[chrome widget]

What is ego browsing?

[tall wharf]

i just look up my name in search

[chrome widget]

Ah I see

[tall wharf]

anyway

null cards are inherently just a blank card

so they are not face cards ever

unless you have Henohenomoheji

then j q k are considered face cards

[plain gazelle]

Is it possible to determine whether the player bought specifically a Joker or a consumable? I tried to use ".ability.set == 'Joker'" but crash errors say that context.buying_card is purely Boolean

[daring fern]

context.card is the bought card.

[plain gazelle]

I need to use "if context.buying_card.card.ability_set == 'Joker' and not context.blueprint"?

[daring fern]

No, it's context.card.ability.set == 'Joker'

[molten musk]

so i starting coding today "finally after 3 days of trying to figure out what will i do with the mod"
was writing the json file

whats badge color?

[daring fern]

The colour of the mod badge.

[plain gazelle]

Got it, thanks

[molten musk]

and what version do i put in dependencies?

[daring fern]

The version you're using?

[molten musk]

if my questions seem stupid thats because i just woke up and my brain is still in dream land

[strange wasp]

Hi, I know the YT video is outdated, but I am at the point (5:33) where I can potentially see my joker in game, But I don's see it there, Here is where I am at in coding.

[strange wasp]

the documentation is on it's own json file

[daring fern]

You need a JSON to load your mod.

[manic rune]

thats a .txt file, not a .lua file

main.lua**.txt**

[strange wasp]

i know, whenever I try to make it a lua file, it adds the tct on top of it.

[daring fern]

Change it in vscode or turn file extensions on.

[hardy viper]

should be fine as long as the main_file in your json is "mod.lua.txt"

[manic rune]

https://gyazo.com/13ca6a5271363817b5566aa6cf579336

[bold sleet]

cursor

[strange wasp]

so if i put it as ex. mod.lua, it'll add I think I finally got it.

sorry, I can be abit annoying when I ask questions

[manic rune]

all good lol

[strange wasp]

so, now that I got the lua file figured out, is there anything else I need to do so that my joker appears in the game. I;ll taks care of the variables next after seeing the joker.

[manic rune]

can you show me your .json file

[manic rune]

main_fille

badge_tect_colour

be sure to check for typos :3

[daring fern]

Or use the template.

[strange wasp]

misspelled, my bad

[thorn furnace]

How do I go about getting/setting a seal that's on a card

[daring fern]

card.seal and card:set_seal("modprefix_key")

[thorn furnace]

hm
to get the key of said seal would be card.seal.key right?

[daring fern]

No, the key is card.seal

[thorn furnace]

oh

that's where I messed up then

[molten musk]

so in the assets folder where 1x and 2x files
i put the same files with same names?

[daring fern]

Yes, but the 2x is double sized.

[molten musk]

like i double the photo size ...

ok

[plain gazelle]

I want to compare suit of the first played card in a hand with suits of the rest of the played cards but
"first_card_suit = context.scoring_hand[1].suit" returns nil?

[daring fern]

Suits are at card.base.suit

[plain gazelle]

thanks!

[thorn furnace]

How would I go about lowering the blind requirement

[daring fern]

Modify G.GAME.blind.chips?

[thorn furnace]

Okii
Thank u :>

Also
How would I check if the player is currently in a round

actually nvm

[thorn furnace]

What are the tags for the vanilla seals

[daring fern]

You mean the keys?

[thorn furnace]

The keys yeah
Sorry

[daring fern]

"Red", "Blue", "Gold" and "Purple"

[unborn bay]

just "Red"

fuck

[thorn furnace]

O

[unborn bay]

!!!!

[manic rune]

you could always just print them out to check, actually

[thorn furnace]

I thought it wouldve been like "Red_seal" at least

[thorn furnace]

True

[daring fern]

You don't need the print().

[manic rune]

force of habit, sorry :3

this is the joker i made for the tutorial, is this good

[thorn furnace]

SMODS.Consumable {
    key = 'bread',
    set = 'jojo_Scraps',
    config = { extra = { blindPercentage = 2 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.blindPercentage } }
    end,
    
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        G.GAME.blind.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips * (1 - card.ability.extra.blindPercentage / 100)
    end,
    
    can_use = function(self, card)
        return G.GAME.blind
    end
}

Am I doing something wrong
I figured that would be how you'd lower the blind but it doesn't do anything

[thorn furnace]

Way too overpowered

[daring fern]

return G.GAME.blind.in_blind for the can_use
