or do what you said

thats funny

[summer furnace]

so I do SMODS.change_base(suit) right?

[normal crest]

don't forget the card

SMODS.change_base(playing_card, suit)

[summer furnace]

oh okay

[red flower]

i hate lua today

[summer furnace]

it works now hooray

thanks so much

[solemn shuttle]

say if im making a card that adds/removes an eternal sticker, what do i refer to the sticker as in uhhh
the desc/the info queue
info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_lucky
as opposed to the lucky card center here ofc i copypasted it from another tarot card i made

basically im wondering the G.[etc] that defines Eternal Stickers

[daring fern]

You would do info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {key = "eternal", set = "Other"} I think.

[sturdy compass]

That sounds right

[solemn shuttle]

yeah that was it, ty lol :3

[sonic cedar]

afternoon guys
trying to trigger the mult gain with bloodstone
it doesnt work, as in bloodstone will proc and chud won't gain the xmult

did i patch wrong

[red flower]

in the second patch youre patching after the return so it's not reaching the code

[sturdy compass]

Your second patch won’t go off because the first one changes the pattern lol

[sonic cedar]

oml

[sturdy compass]

That too

[sonic cedar]

im so dumb lmfao

[red flower]

also dont you need to call the context also?

[sonic cedar]

do i-

i do

ts so ass

[sturdy compass]

<@&1133519078540185692> get ‘im

[sonic cedar]

the everyone ping is foul you gotta burn

[exotic hedge]

i just missed it damn

[sturdy compass]

Lmao

Too slow on the trigger, been there before 😭

[karmic creek]

the best part is it doesn’t even work

[sonic cedar]

TRUE

failed aura farm

[red flower]

the code and the text dont say the same thing

[sonic cedar]

you killed bro

[sturdy compass]

Anyways
Honestly you could probably patch in a call to you own custom context instead. Something like SMODS.calculate_context({bloodstone_trigger = true})

[sonic cedar]

wait are you serious

[sturdy compass]

Yes

[sonic cedar]

thats so much easier what

[sturdy compass]

This is a thing you can do lmao

Actual game changer learning that function exists

[sonic cedar]

look astra this is like my second ever context 😭

[red flower]

if it's for the chud card i would just use the same context you were using before

[sonic cedar]

ofc

[sonic cedar]

just realized i read this wrong and this is literally what im doing already

[sturdy compass]

Oh lmao

[sonic cedar]

i might just be braindead

[sturdy compass]

😭

[sonic cedar]

(im sick)

[sturdy compass]

Ah damn :/

[sonic cedar]

it's fine though it's just why i HATE spring and why the world should SKIP it

the beauty is a LIE and a FALSEHOOD

[sturdy compass]

POLLEN HATERS RISE UP

GRAHHH

[sonic cedar]

RAAAH

[sturdy compass]

~~I say as I’m lounging on my deck in the sun rn ~~

[sonic cedar]

i hope you have a sneezing fit

/j

[undone slate]

Bit lost currently, any leads of where I should start?

[sonic cedar]

did i fix it

[sturdy compass]

[sturdy compass]

You’re still resetting the chudhit after the return

[orchid thunder]

is it possible to change the font of the text for certin text?

[sonic cedar]

but it needs to reset after the mult gain 😭

so i can trigger it again later

[sturdy compass]

Could you not just handle that in the chud joker code?

[sonic cedar]

<-- the face of a gal who has no idea

[sturdy compass]

LMAO

Actually what does this joker do

[sonic cedar]

oh my god i totally can cant i

[undone slate]

lua does not exist outside your computer, it can't hurt you further

[sonic cedar]

thats what the pollen and dust is for <3

[red star]

I return after beating my head against this wall for a few hours. Can I use smods to draw new objects, particularly a new CardArea? If so, how? For example, there's a separate CardArea below the Consumables in the Balatro Multiplayer mod, but I can't seem to find where in their code they added it.

Also, sorry for interrupting current conversation.

[sturdy compass]

You should probably do a lovely patch for that

[sonic cedar]

you asked if you could after seeing that you can /lh

[sturdy compass]

Toma what does the chud do and is a +mult for every failed probability check or smthn

[red star]

Okay. Time to do more due diligent research. Thanks for the redirect.

[sonic cedar]

huge mult gain if you win a probability

[red flower]

here's where i define my cardareas, you need lovely patches for smods to acknowledge them tho. i can send you those if you want
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/ba699ffdde89a3bcd438e1111ecff78c1bdd2924/src/extra_deck.lua#L255

[sonic cedar]

i was typing

[sturdy compass]

Ah ok

[sonic cedar]

there is of course a catch

[sturdy compass]

Cuz I have a card that does the inverse

[red flower]

the field spell area is under the consumables

[sturdy compass]

Mult gain for failing a check

[sonic cedar]

i have an unlock condition that does the inverse too

(this is how you get cain)

[red star]

Part of me is like, "I asked if you can do it with smods, so that's different", but the other part of me is like "You're absolutely right, and that's hilarious." XD

[sonic cedar]

wait is balatro multiplayer not smods am i stupid

[sturdy compass]

It is

I think

[shell timber]

balatro multiplayer is smods

[sonic cedar]

wait im in the server i can just look

[red star]

Good God, yes, that'd be very helpful. (I feel so badly asking for so much help.)

[sonic cedar]

ohhhh ok

[sturdy compass]

Gotta start somewhere man. No shame in it

[shell timber]

or at least it has smods for stuff like the h. chad rework

[sonic cedar]

the catch in question that i forgot to attach to the message oml

[sturdy compass]

NOTHING EVER HAPPENS

[sonic cedar]

[red star]

@sonic cedar Yeah, the ultimate point is that I f#cked up, and you caught me. XD /lh

[sturdy compass]

So I take it G.GAME.probabilities.normal gets divided by 10?

If so that’s funny asf

[sonic cedar]

all good lmao i was just joking

[sturdy compass]

Yep lol

[sonic cedar]

also it was supposed to multiply by 10

and it does

but for some reason it

triggers twice

so 2->200

[sturdy compass]

😭

[burnt quartz]

How i can make my mod compatible with JokerDisplay?

[sturdy compass]

What a wonderful question

[sonic cedar]

n was just here

come back

hi something

[red star]

Those lovely patches would be appreciated at your earliest convenience. (I learn better through examples.)

[sonic cedar]

check the toml file

[long sun]

what's wrong with my tooltip?

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.tag_double
    return {  }
end,```

it's not showing the Double Tag tooltip ^^

[sturdy compass]

Tags aren’t in G.P_CENTERS

[daring fern]

G.P_TAGS

[long sun]

ah ^^" grand

tyty

[analog spoke]

I think I messed up doing such a large shift in my mod and start doing gamedev at the same time lmao

[sturdy compass]

Perchance

[red flower]

it's this one https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/ba699ffdde89a3bcd438e1111ecff78c1bdd2924/lovely/zones.toml#L104

[red flower]

you can't just say perchance

[unborn bay]

chanceper

[sturdy compass]

You get a glimpse

[red flower]

sticker jumpscare

[maiden phoenix]

joyouschance

[unborn bay]

sticker appears for 1 millisecond before getting blasted into oblivion by thunk himself

[long sun]

Keep it up, baby!

[unborn bay]

i can confirm this i have met localthunk in real life

[red star]

Biggest thanks to everybody.

[unborn bay]

(he is local thunk)

[sonic cedar]

Looking cool, Joker!

[long sun]

harhar! beat you to it! :D

[sonic cedar]

OBELISK

[shell timber]

Cool Looking Joker

[sonic cedar]

wait it's not consecutive

[long sun]

:}

[sonic cedar]

so if i asked how

(without screwing everything up )

[sturdy compass]

with your context you could pass in a value along with the initial context key and use that

like calc_context({key = true, value = 1})

[sonic cedar]

huh

OH

wai

huh

OH

[sturdy compass]

It'd be way easier than tracking it with a global variable

[sonic cedar]

ok nvm im lost again

ok so

instead of the global varible

varaibl

variable

i just only have the calc context thing in there

BUT

i add a comma

and then the vale thinh

value

thing

WHY IS THIS IN MY CARD.LUAAAAA

[sturdy compass]

LMAOOOOO

[sonic cedar]

im so cooked

[sonic cedar]

wait what about this though

do i just say like

false, value = 0

[sturdy compass]

You wouldn't have to reset it with this method I don't think

[sonic cedar]

wait actually

bet

[sturdy compass]

Cuz the context is always changing

[sonic cedar]

ok so first of all here's the new patch

yay or nay

[sturdy compass]

yay

[sonic cedar]

yay!

[sturdy compass]

and then you can add context.value to Chud's mult within chud itself

[sonic cedar]

same thing with wheel ofc

[sonic cedar]

i was just about to ask let me do that

[sonic cedar]

hooray or off the stage

[sturdy compass]

Oh I didn't realize the gain wasn't variable lol

I thought it was

[sonic cedar]

gulp

[sturdy compass]

you could actually do away with that value stuff entirely and just look for context.chudhit 😭

[sonic cedar]

at least,,, it's easy to undo,,,,,,,,,

[hard mica]

Anyone know how to fix this?

[red flower]

wait for my smods playing card pr :3

[sonic cedar]

win or lose

[normal crest]

can you show the full code

it's cut off

[red flower]

seriously, you're probably missing something the other cards that create do

why pregnant man

[placid star]

my fav reaction emoji

it conveys no emotions or intent

and only serves to confuse

[sturdy compass]

😭

[sonic cedar]

HOWEVER 😭

[sturdy compass]

LMFAO

[sonic cedar]

almost lost the blind btw

[sturdy compass]

oops

[sonic cedar]

no that guy doesn-

oh my god do i make it affect oops

[sturdy compass]

Don't look if you wanna do Maximus achievements blind (which you should) but I just made a new one lol

[sonic cedar]

i still gotta do maximus 😭

[sturdy compass]

Do it once 1.0 comes out

(soon)

[sonic cedar]

i got so many mods i wanna catch up on

[sonic cedar]

vibes

[sturdy compass]

No but like actually

[sonic cedar]

oh i gotta update my day count

[sturdy compass]

It's 4 card arts I'm waiting on lol

[sonic cedar]

i just have to fix the ijiraq patches

somehow

[sonic cedar]

oops should stay as a saving grace actually

[sturdy compass]

Oops should actually work fine out of the box since it’s multiplicative too

[sonic cedar]

ye

0.2 it WORKS

[sturdy compass]

yeye

[sonic cedar]

(You now need 5 copies of oops for a guaranteed 2 in 2)

[sturdy compass]

funne

[sonic cedar]

next is hallucination

luckily the orchard should be mad east

what am I SAYING

the PATCH should be mad EASY

[sturdy compass]

LOL

[sonic cedar]

if this is sickness hiding in allergies im gonna be so pissed

[sonic cedar]

oh yeah I just looked this is easy it’s the same setup as wheel

(Naw really?)

oh my god I knew I wasn’t crazy

the INTELLISENSE

is turning them into QUOTE MARKS

[snow vale]

oh so then do i use SMODS.blueprint_effect and what do i add then?
(sry for late answer i was having dinner :p)

[daring fern]

You would have to create a "fake" joker, you could say.

[snow vale]

oh i see

but i want 6 different jokers to act, how do i do it?

7

actually

[daring fern]

Also I don't think you would use SMODS.blueprint_effect because if it chooses a joker like Wee Joker it will do nothing.

[snow vale]

then uh

do i simply code each joker by hand?

[daring fern]

You want a joker to have the ability of seven random jokers?

[daring fern]

Definitely not.

[sonic cedar]

doesn’t RNJoker do something like this

[snow vale]

i want a joker that each round it changes what joker it uses out of 7 different jokers that are in the game, but you dont have to have em in the joker slots

[daring fern]

I meant you would just call its calculate instead.

[snow vale]

oh

[daring fern]

No, it just does a random effect out of set effects I think.

[snow vale]

do i use like joker:calculate_joker(context)?

[sonic cedar]

yeah I know but is this similar in execution i mean

[daring fern]

No.

[sonic cedar]

oh ok

Carry on

[daring fern]

No.

[daring fern]

You need to create the fake card first.

[snow vale]

using smods.blueprint_effect

?

or how

[daring fern]

No.

[snow vale]

smods.joker?

[daring fern]

Refer to here: https://github.com/Somethingcom515/SealsOnJokers/blob/allinone/allinone.lua#L6

[snow vale]

okk

oh do i create a function?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[snow vale]

ah

okk

[sonic cedar]

was confused as to what happened to my game and i started panicking

(i opened the unmodded instance)

[plain gazelle]

Is there a context for a Joker/Consumable being added to Joker/Consumable slots? (Specifically added, not just bought. I want to account for cases with Judgement, Vagabond, Seance, etc)

[hard needle]

how do i add a tag to info queue

[daring fern]

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_TAGS["tag_modprefix_key"]?

[hard mica]

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'luckiestjoker',
    atlas = 'luckiestjoker',
    no_collection = true,
    discovered = true,

    in_pool = function (self, args)
        return false
    end,

    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Luckiest Joker',
        text = {   "Gains 10 {C:attention}Lucky Cards{} " ,
                    "at end of an ante",}
        },

    calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and G.GAME.blind.boss then
            for i = 1, 10, 1 do
                local _card = create_playing_card({front = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CARDS, pseudoseed('JNKR_luckiestjoker')), center = G.P_CENTERS.m_lucky}, G.deck, true, nil, { G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Enhanced }, true)
                return {
                func = function()
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            _card:add_to_deck()
                            G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
                            table.insert(G.playing_cards, _card)
                            G.hand:emplace(_card)
                            _card:start_materialize()
                            G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(_card)
                            G.hand:sort()
                        
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                    SMODS.calculate_context({ playing_card_added = true, cards = { _card } })
                end
            }
            end
            
           
        end
    end
}

heres the full code

[daring fern]

Why are you adding it to the deck but emplacing it in hand?

[normal crest]

I'd say just copy paste the code that certificate uses and modify only the relevant parts

[sonic cedar]

you wouldn’t happen to know how to spawn boosters would you
Ctrl c didnt work

[hard mica]

thats what i did

[hard needle]

cant you just go into collection

then into booster pacs

and then click 3

or someing

[normal crest]

you modified so much more stuff tho

[sonic cedar]

oh my god ctrl 3

[normal crest]

i'm looking at cert's code and it's not the same at all

[hard mica]

cause i added some stuff i was suggested to add

[snow vale]

ok i got the function, now what parameters do i give on calculate? (i mean, in the create_fake_joker inside calculate)

[hard mica]

i can try doing G.deck:emplace

[sonic cedar]

does anyone know anything about a field index crash when you click on your deck??

[normal crest]

i suggest you start from just the base certificate code then

[daring fern]

create_fake_joker(card, key, "calculate")

[snow vale]

oh ok

[snow vale]

tysm

[pure salmon]

what variable tracks how many hands the player has at the start of a blind

[normal crest]

it's a value in G.GAME.round_resets

maybe it's G.GAME.round_resets.hands

[pure salmon]

alright

[hard mica]

that worked but it doesnt give 10 of them

[normal crest]

cus you're returning inside the for loop

once you return you exit the function

[hard mica]

so i return it outside the for loop then?

[daring fern]

No, you move whats in the return outside of it and also move it out of func

[sonic cedar]

apparently it's the copy card function which i uhhhhhhhhh dont use anywhere? was it just a bug?

[snow vale]

huh?

[red flower]

it's trying to render a card in deck and it cant

[sonic cedar]

why 😭

[red flower]

idk

[sonic cedar]

i didnt put anything in the- is this because i tried to ctrl c the booster pack

did i yoshiskip (smw ver)

[daring fern]

You also need this function: https://github.com/Somethingcom515/SealsOnJokers/blob/allinone/allinone.lua#L318

[sonic cedar]

ill see if it happens again but i dont think it was me

this time

oh no it’s consistent

[snow vale]

and where do i use it?

[hard mica]

thank you it works now

[midnight coyote]

how do i check if a given joker is in a certain pool?

[daring fern]

You use it like get_joker_return(key, context, card, true)

[unborn bay]

iterate the center pool and find said joker

[snow vale]

like, where

[sonic cedar]

im sorry what

[daring fern]

In calculate.

[snow vale]

ok

[normal crest]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS.<pool name> is a list of all the items in that pool

[midnight coyote]

huh

[unborn bay]

for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS[poolname]) do
    - ...
end

[midnight coyote]

hmm

alright

i have a joker that gains strength depending on how many jokers are in a certain pool

[unborn bay]

you can also just check for the center's pool value but that doesn't work if a center was injected into a pool somewhere else

hence this

[sonic cedar]

gonna check if it's a mod ig

[midnight coyote]

so k would an instance of a card in that pool

correct

and then V would be the contents of the card table

[tired skiff]

i have a joker that kinda works like anchient joker but when the card is scoring the mult isnt above the card is below the joker

how do i change this

[daring fern]

Code?

[snow vale]

@daring fern it aint working 😭
can you fix it plz

[daring fern]

Why is it called SMODS.get_joker_return?

[midnight coyote]

i need to check for every joker in G.jokers.cards to see if it is matching up with any card in the pool

[red flower]

hmm how bad would it be to have a reference in every center to its objecttypes

[snow vale]

o

[midnight coyote]

could i do v.label?

[daring fern]

Remove card = card

[normal crest]

k would be a number here, v is the actual center object

[unborn bay]

k is the index of the center in that pool

v is the actual value

[midnight coyote]

okay thank you

[sonic cedar]

you would be very appreciated

[tired skiff]

ty <3

[midnight coyote]

so if G.jokers.cards[i] == v then

would work?

[red flower]

i mean looking at the code it's really easy to do
idk if it has any side effects

[midnight coyote]

assuming i is defined in an upper for loop

[unborn bay]

center.objecttype[center.key].objecttype[center.key]

[sonic cedar]

True,,

[unborn bay]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1122070934518517780.webp?size=48

[sonic cedar]

[red flower]

i mean you can do this with card.area

[normal crest]

no, cus centers are not cards

[snow vale]

if i dont, it is considered as a global instead

[normal crest]

G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.key == v.key

[unborn bay]

center - definition of an object
card - instance of an object as a card

[daring fern]

Put local in front of it.

[unborn bay]

firm reminder

[midnight coyote]

got it

[midnight coyote]

every card has a center but not every center is a child of a card

right?

[tired skiff]

what is the hotkey to restart the game i forgot :<

[red flower]

i think thunk is really cool for naming them front center and back but that has caused modders a lot of confusion

[daring fern]

ALT + F5

[midnight coyote]

hold M or ALT-F5

[sonic cedar]

Hold M or ALT F5

[snow vale]

i dont think that's the problem

[tired skiff]

its m

yeah ty

[daring fern]

No, that also works.

[normal crest]

centers just define the behavior of cards

[tired skiff]

yeah i know i i replied to the wrong message my bad

[gentle rain]

is the game's current round stored in G.GAME.round_resets

?

[tired skiff]

sry :<

[daring fern]

Code?

[tired skiff]

god i sound so rude sorry

[sonic cedar]

where

[normal crest]

when you use SMODS.Joker you're making a center, that later on can be applied to a card

[midnight coyote]

okay, this is very informative

[midnight coyote]

genuinely

[daring fern]

No, I meant put local where you define the function.

[snow vale]

yeah still it gives an error

[daring fern]

Log?

[snow vale]

wait a second

wait

[daring fern]

Remove the locals on the functions.

[untold vigil]

Syntax error

[snow vale]

still not

[daring fern]

Log?

[snow vale]

same as the others before, savedvalues wont work

[daring fern]

Remove the create_fake_joker call.

[sonic cedar]

update it was cartomancer

for some reason

[daring fern]

card is not a key?

[snow vale]

😭

[silver tusk]

Does anyone know how I would find the value of the current best hand played in a run?

[sonic cedar]

Is 4.11 out of date is it my bad

[daring fern]

You mean the most played hand?

[urban wasp]

is there a way to make a joker return a bunch of things in succession? i want it to be like this:
"-1" (chip; balatro code automatically doesn't specify if it is chips, only mult)
"-1 Mult"
"÷1" (ditto)
"÷1 Mult"
"quote"

the code that i tried to use is listed below, which just didn't work at all:

return {
    { chip_mod = lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.chips) * -1, message = "-" .. lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.chips) * -1, colour = G.C.CHIPS },
    { mult_mod = lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.mult) * -1, message = "-" .. lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.mult) * -1 .. " Mult", colour = G.C.MULT },
    { chip_mod = 1 / lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.Xchips), message = "÷" .. lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.Xchips), colour = G.C.CHIPS },
    { Xmult_mod = 1 / lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.Xmult), message = "÷" .. lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.Xmult) .. " Mult", colour = G.C.MULT },
    { message = quote, colour = G.C.RARITY["crp_self-insert"] }
}

quote is defined earlier in the joker's code fyi

[midnight coyote]

how do i grab a joker’s sell value

[daring fern]

Yes, use extra

[silver tusk]

No like the highest chipcount hand

[urban wasp]

how so?

[snow vale]

wait no

[urban wasp]

is there like an example joker or something that i could use?

[daring fern]

You just act like extra is a second return.

return {extra = {extra = {extra = {extra = {}}}}}

[red flower]

return {
    mult = 1,
    extra = {
         chips = 1,
         extra = {
               xmult = 1.1
         }
    }
}

etc

[urban wasp]

ooh ok

[normal crest]

okay that's indentation hell

there needs to be a better way to do that

[sonic cedar]

not doing it

[gaunt thistle]

indentation is fine

[normal crest]

I mean they want to send 5 messages in succession, that's gonna be hard to look at

[sonic cedar]

lua also doesn’t care abt indentation iirc

[normal crest]

for my brain at least

[gaunt thistle]

there's a difference between unavoidable indentation and indentation that's the result of weird code

but yeah, indentation is pretty arbitrary in lua

[silver tusk]

anyone know?

[normal crest]

you could definitely avoid this indentation by adding the ability to send a list of effects instead of extra! extra!

[normal crest]

G.GAME.hands has all the hand information

their current level, chip and mult and how much they increae each level

[plain gazelle]

This got buried under a chunk of code so I'll ask again

Is there a context for a Joker/Consumable being added to Joker/Consumable slots? (Specifically added, not just bought. I want to account for cases with Judgement, Vagabond, Seance, etc)

[sonic cedar]

maybe you do something like save values from G.GAME.han—yeah

[daring fern]

No.

[red flower]

i think youre just a hater : (

[daring fern]

There is context.card_added though.

[normal crest]

it's not bad if you have 3 messages, but what if you wanted to send 10 messages

[sonic cedar]

get ready to read all about it then

[red flower]

why would i want to send 10 messages

[silver tusk]

like this value?

[plain gazelle]

What does it do?

[gaunt thistle]

I mean, yeah, in extreme cases you should probably just write a helper that builds the table for you

[red flower]

god designed extra tables for use in my transfer abilities feature only

[normal crest]

oh, I misunderstood, idk how to get that

[normal crest]

why limit yourself

[daring fern]

It is called everytime card:add_to_deck is called.

[red flower]

that's true actually

[silver tusk]

Yeah i didnt know how to say it differently other then a screenshot 😂

[normal crest]

fair enough, i'd definitely do this

[silver tusk]

i cant find where that value is stored

[unborn bay]

this is true i was god

[plain gazelle]

Oh, so like with Certificate or Stone Joker. Got it, thanks

[red flower]

you can probably just do SMODS.calculate_effect as well if you're not using repetitions exactly

[unborn bay]

i wonder if you can make an extra table lead back to itself

[daring fern]

No, that is context.playing_card_added

[gaunt thistle]

I agree with you otherwise, huge indentation can get pretty awful

[unborn bay]

actually no thats a terrible idea

[gaunt thistle]

I've done my best to keep lovely from turning into indentation hell haha

[sonic cedar]

are you trying to kill someone

[red flower]

you dont want to see my UI code

[unborn bay]

i will use this when someone attempts to use a joker that retriggers 1e300 times

[gaunt thistle]

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector/blob/bcab79b7dab193189dcbfa18d6bc1c13fa18d14e/crates/lovely-core/src/lib.rs#L322 is probably the worst case

UI code is always bad

especially flexbox ui code

[normal crest]

i will forgive your ui code

[gaunt thistle]

not much you can do about it

[unborn bay]

wtf!

rust!!!!

unbelievable

[gaunt thistle]

crab

[normal crest]

it fits on my screen, i approve

[urban wasp]

so

would this atrocity work

[sonic cedar]

gulp

[urban wasp]

return {
    chip_mod = -lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.chips),
    message =  "-" .. lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.chips),
    colour = G.C.CHIPS,
    extra = {
        mult_mod = -lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.mult),
        message =  "-" .. lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.mult),
        colour = G.C.MULT,
        extra = {
            Xchip_mod = 1 / lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.Xchips),
            message = "÷" .. lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.Xchips),
            colour = G.C.CHIPS,
            extra = {
                Xmult_mod = 1 / lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.Xmult),
                message = "÷" .. lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.Xmult) .. " Mult",
                colour = G.C.MULT,
                extra = {
                    message = quote,
                    colour = G.C.RARITY["crp_self-insert"]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

[red flower]

not on mine smh

[daring fern]

Probably.

[normal crest]

dammit

lovely needs to be remade now

[urban wasp]

i'm just gonna test it

[gaunt thistle]

dang time to refactor things so each source file is only 100 lines long

and I need to make everything an interface

and test every line of code

[urban wasp]

it works

[sonic cedar]

JXL????

[outer basalt]

looking at the vanilla remade glass enhancement but i do not understand how the probabilities thing works 😭

[wintry solar]

🤔

[urban wasp]

the fuck is jxl 😭

[sonic cedar]

I don’t know 😭

[red flower]

ok i agree this is terrible

[gaunt thistle]

yeah this is just awful

no offense

I admire your tenacity

[urban wasp]

well like

is there any way to make it better 😭

[unborn bay]

you can REALLY condense most of the extra tables

[red flower]

if it works it works

[urban wasp]

how so?

[gaunt thistle]

yeah I mean if it works don't change it

[sonic cedar]

me with ownerships

[tired skiff]

ignore the $0 issue but how can i word this better?

[unborn bay]

a reminder that xchips_message and xmult_message exists to give xchips and xmult different messages

[wintry solar]

does simply not doing chips = -lenient_bignum(bla) not work?

[unborn bay]

or was it xchip_message

[urban wasp]

i have NEVER seen "xmult_message" before

[unborn bay]

it exists

[red flower]

it's in the docs kinda

not explicitly

[normal crest]

i was about to mention undocumented features

[unborn bay]

this way you can combine these into one single return table

[normal crest]

but i guess if it's in the docs then good

[urban wasp]

could i get an example

[sonic cedar]

Eremel save us

[gaunt thistle]

you could probably improve it with a lovely patch tbh

[urban wasp]

i've never lovely patched in modding and i don't plan to yet

[red flower]

that's what big lovely wants us to think

[unborn bay]

return {
    chips = fuck,
    chip_message = { message = localize('k_shit') },
    mult = foo,
    mult_message = { message = localize('k_bar') }
}

[silver tusk]

if anyone was curious it was G.GAME.round_scores.hand.amt finally found it😭

[normal crest]

hey if your code works leave it

[unborn bay]

you WILL use a lovely patch one day

[urban wasp]

i might try this; if it doesn't work, i'm keeping my code

[gaunt thistle]

release your inhibitions, feel the rain on your skin

[urban wasp]

i will probably but not now

[hardy wasp]

if it aint broke dont fix it

or whatever

[long sun]

hi again ^^
i'd like to make a menu for making things with my resource cards — where can i get started with learning how to make modded menus?

[sonic cedar]

I lasted 3 days

[urban wasp]

okay but it's like half-broke

[unborn bay]

smods wiki ui guide

😁

[long sun]

cheers ^^

[gaunt thistle]

hey that's 3 days longer than me

[hardy wasp]

then fix it

[sonic cedar]

true!

[urban wasp]

i'm TRYING 💔

[unborn bay]

fix it fix it fix it fix it or whatever

[gaunt thistle]

fix it with a lovely patch

[urban wasp]

No.

[sonic cedar]

hit the big fix it button on the wall

[gaunt thistle]

dang

[red flower]

im proud that jokerdisplay doesn't use any

[hardy wasp]

can confirm I have one of these

[urban wasp]

if only

[gaunt thistle]

dang really? that's sick

nice work

[hardy wasp]

i press the button and my code instantly works

[red flower]

ty ❤️

[hardy wasp]

doesnt fix much else tho

[gaunt thistle]

impossible unless you're writing haskell

[hushed field]

Embrace lovely patches, then after you've made a bunch, edit them out because they're unnecessary

[midnight coyote]

how do i spawn tags

[untold vigil]

How do I set the (card.ability.extra.invis_rounds >= card.ability.extra.total_rounds) true?

[red flower]

nah you PR them to smods

[daring fern]

add_tag(Tag('tag_modprefix_key'))

[primal robin]

what's happening here

[gaunt thistle]

especially if they have a lot of "at" patches

[untold vigil]

I have been told that is always false and I have no idea to set it to true

[midnight coyote]

would investment tag just be ‘tag_investment’

[hushed field]

Bit of column a, bit of column b

[sonic cedar]

was your code a hello world function

[hardy wasp]

no comment

[daring fern]

Yes.

[normal crest]

it's always false because the values never change, aka it's always evaluating 0 >= 3 which is, not true, just update those values somewhere, depends on how you want your joker to work

[urban wasp]

this #💻・modding-dev message

[midnight coyote]

i don’t know how the comments on your code are relevant rn but alr

[red flower]

anyway I'm going to PR the objecttypes thing and let Eremel and ewju deal with the consequences

[hushed field]

Objecttypes thing?

[hardy wasp]

pretty sure they arent

[normal crest]

also don't forget to run the lua formatter on your code

makes it easier to read for all of us trying to help you

[red flower]

ive seen multiple people want to either have a look up table for cards in an objecttype or that cards themselves have a reference to their objecttypes

[midnight coyote]

how would i check if the blind defeated is a boss blind

[hushed field]

Oh, as in, check on the card if they're a 'food' joker?

[scarlet imp]

if context.end_of_round and not context.game_over and context.main_eval and G.GAME.blind.boss then

[red flower]

yea instead of looping through G.P_CENTER_POOLS

[midnight coyote]

thanks

[urban wasp]

main issue with this is that it doesn't seem to have a sound; it just plays the normal click sound
-# reply ping intentional

[normal crest]

did you make the pr thing already

[red flower]

i just got home from work 😭

[normal crest]

welcome home

[hushed field]

Ah, cool, means I don't have to set that up, haha. It was next on my list of Cryptid compatibility fixes

[sonic cedar]

say that again

[normal crest]

welcome home

[sonic cedar]

ok thanks

[wintry solar]

who was planning on working on 'rates' for individual jokers?

[hardy wasp]

that again

[sonic cedar]

H

[hushed field]

I've got that code basically set up

[sonic cedar]

I give blueprint 5 stars

[wintry solar]

can I see it?

[primal robin]

What about stickers on booster packs?

[normal crest]

rather than putting a reference to the pool why not just put the name of the objecttype

[hushed field]

Just still testing some edge cases before I make it generic enough to PR it

[red flower]

i was gonna put a reference to the objecttype itself but maybe just the key yeah

[hushed field]

I can send the git link in a sec, but it's in per_card_rarity in the Kino repo

[urban wasp]

i'm just gonna leave it for now; thanks chat i'll probably be back later for more ://SPAGHETTI code

[sonic cedar]

you can keep it actually im full

[untold vigil]

So I have to put invis_rounds = 3, total_rounds = 0 or take some code from the invisible joker (vanillaremade)?

[red flower]

Invisible Joker (VanillaRemade) sounds like the wiki disambiguation

[untold vigil]

Also it seems that I can't write or erase a single line of code in a afternoon cuz something happens

[normal crest]

presumably you want to increase card.ability.extra.invis_rounds by 1 each time it gives mult

[hushed field]

@wintry solar https://github.com/icyethics/Kino/blob/main/src/per_card_rarity.lua that's the current set up. It's mostly adapted from N's approach in JoyousSpring, but set up to be work for all objects

[untold vigil]

Each time a round ends

[normal crest]

right

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
  card.ability.extra.invis_rounds = card.ability.extra.invis_rounds + 1
end

something like that

[hushed field]

If I PR'd it I'd wanna set it up with some clear patch targets as well, and ways to alter the weight logic through other objects, but because it's not a Kino feature, I hadn't really given it thought for my specific implementation

[gentle rain]

does anyone know the cause of this crash

i cant find what the error in my code is

[gaunt thistle]

how many of you would use regex lookarounds? I've been throwing around the idea of adding support for them in a future release.

[normal crest]

my guess is you put a string where a table was meant to go

[gentle rain]

thatd be my guess too but i have no clue what thatd be unless im blind

[hushed field]

I'd use it if other people would convince me it's useful, and I figure out what it is after googling it, haha

[untold vigil]

Does that go here?

[unborn bay]

my mod uses a regex look up for hand_chips*mult lmao

[normal crest]

it should be a separate if statement, like the two you have already

also don't forget to run the lua formatter

[gaunt thistle]

well the issue is that lookarounds can blow up and require an exponential time to compute

like, it's really easy to do so

[untold vigil]

When I have the time

[gaunt thistle]

hell yeah

[untold vigil]

I have to work, can't code without anything else happening

Why did I think on making the mod frfr

[gentle rain]

this is the code ive been editing, but whats weird is that deleting this whole mod doesnt do anything

removing my mod DOES let it run so its def an issue with my mod

so weird

[normal crest]

maybe it's in the loc_txt

[midnight coyote]

whats the context for when any card gets destroyed

[red flower]

playing cards: remove_playing_cards
anything else: none

[midnight coyote]

can i just hook the dissolve function to calculate a new context

[red flower]

you can

[midnight coyote]

k im doing that then

[wintry solar]

does it use rarity tags rather than weight tags?

[gentle rain]

it might be because this shares a name with wild cards?

[normal crest]

yep there you go

text is meant to be a table

you forgot the {}

[gentle rain]

ooooh lolol

[hushed field]

what do you mean by tags?

[wintry solar]

like it just reads the rarity property of a card, right?

[hushed field]

yeah

it's agnostic of implementation, so it works on any object

[midnight coyote]

this should work, right?

[wintry solar]

so how does it work to increase the rate of an individual rare joker spawning?

[normal crest]

this will trigger when cards are sold i think

[hushed field]

You can add a function onto a joker/card that checks for it, which is what I'm currently using it for to make Kino's new planets less common, and I've also got it set up to check if they meet a global spawn rate increase condition (in this case, movie genre, for the genre specific decks)

[red flower]

and it wont work on cards that shatter/are eaten

[normal crest]

nom nom

[midnight coyote]

then ill just check if not context.selling_card

[red flower]

basically get_current_pool returns both the keys and the weights now, using the rarity weights as the default if they're not defined
and then another poll function gets it based on the weights

[red flower]

both contexts will never happen at the same time, it's not how contexts work sadly

but the idea is fine, you just need to add some flag in one context

[midnight coyote]

hmm okay

this context im making feels like it would have a good place in base SMODS

[wintry solar]

a context on dissolving cards is too generic to be useful

[wintry solar]

does it combine the pools then? Looking at jokers specifically (I'm sure the rarity thing applies on whatever object though), gcp only ever looks at one rarity anyway

[red flower]

in my implementation at least it does

havent read Ice's in detail

[wintry solar]

so if I call get_current_pool('Joker') I'd get back a table of all rarities of jokers with keys and weights?

[red flower]

yes

[wintry solar]

hmmm, that's an interesting choice

does that mean if I had a rare joker with an astronomically high weight, it would lower the chances of common/uncommon spawns?

[red flower]

i mean i think we both made a different function just to not mess up with get_current_pool haha

[red flower]

yeah

[wintry solar]

okay

[red flower]

but it would also lower other rares so i dont think it would break the basic rarity logic

[normal crest]

wouldn't you want each joker to have its weight on its respective rarity only

[red flower]

no, i want a rare to be more common than a common sometimes

[wintry solar]

I don't think that's how a weighting system should function

is this how the kino one works @hushed field ?

[red flower]

why not

[normal crest]

oh yeah, that makes sense

[hardy wasp]

Is there a function that runs when a joker is removed? (ex. destroyed or sold)

[hushed field]

it doesn't normalize on a per rarity basis, no, so making something more common will make everything else less common, regardless of rarity. But it's one of those things that's definitely possible to account for, due it using a separate function, so you could still just use the regular rarity generation chances before you enter the complex get pool function, just with a rarity key instead of a generic key

[red flower]

yeah if you want it to be relative to its rarity you would use the base rarity weight in your calculation

[wintry solar]

Because weighting and rarity are two different properties. Weights should only effect the chance of a card spawning once it's spawning criteria is in play. If I set a rare to have a weight of 1000000, that should only take effect when the game has already decided to spawn a rare joker.

[hushed field]

I did consider trying to properly normalize it, generally, but to truly minimize the way odds influence each other is a maths challenge that my linguistics-brain isn't capabel of understanding, haha

[untold vigil]

Like this

[hushed field]

For my own implementation it doesn't really matter because I don't want to introduce effects that would shift the odds in noticable ways, due to the size of the general joker pool. But I can definitely see why you'd wanna maintain the rarity selection first, as that's how vanilla does it. But that'd be very easy to set up

[red flower]

I don't understand why that matters other than when the game is forced to spawn something

It will only be messed up when a modder spcifically decides to mess it up, and that should be to modders discretion imo

[long sun]

hey, at least something worked! :D

[wintry solar]

I mean I can understand why you'd want it your way too, but I'm coming at it from a generic, smods pov

so that we can do this

and it's consistent in it's implementation across all objects

[untold vigil]

It seems it didn't work

[normal crest]

oh right, you want

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
  -- the increase line

  if card.ability.extra.invis_rounds >= card.ability.extra.total_rounds then
    -- the destroying and spawning
  end
end

[untold vigil]

What does it mean if the code is darkened?

[midnight coyote]

calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_charcuterie_cursed") then
                context.other_card:set_ability(nil)
                return {
                    message = "Cleansed!"
                }
            end
        end

[hushed field]

I think it depends on what you think spawn chances should affect. I also think it's one of those things that are hard to judge once you've touched the code. The game never states that the rarities are set pools, rather than generic spawn chances, so I think how you visualize what 'this rare joker is twice as common' means is going to depend on what definition you've internalized. But setting it up as a pool shouldn't be hard, you'd just pre-generate the rarity before you call that function

[midnight coyote]

why is this crashing?

[normal crest]

cus you're setting the ability to nil

[midnight coyote]

is that not what im supposed to do?

[normal crest]

if you want to remove the enhancement you need to :set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.c_base) iirc

[midnight coyote]

ah

[normal crest]

out of the last 3 if statements you have keep the last one i sent (replacing the comments with the actual code)

[hardy wasp]

How can I run something (ex; adding to multiplier of round) when a joker is removed? (sold, destroyed by other joker, etc.)

[red flower]

i mean i think both approaches are fine but restricting it to the rarity pool is immensely less useful to me at least

[untold vigil]

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then card.ability.extra.invis_rounds = card.ability.extra.invis_rounds + 1 end

This one?

[red flower]

i already implemented it tho so i dont care :3

[normal crest]

no, that's not the last one i sent

[normal crest]

this

[wintry solar]

don't worry N I will break your implementation 🙃

[untold vigil]

Sooo what do I do?

Remove it?

[hardy wasp]

nevermind, found it
for anyone wondering, it's "remove_from_deck"

[red flower]

nuh uh it only does it with a specific set

also it does a bunch of other yugioh things

damn you got me

[hushed field]

Yeah. I think while it makes sense from the code side to treat 'rare' as a pool, the notion of 'Baron is twice as common' feels like it should spawn twice as often as it does normally, not be twice as likely to show up in the rare slot

[unborn bay]

hi eremel smods

[midnight coyote]

for future reference it's :set_ability("c_base")

[hushed field]

There's a reason I didn't steal N's code entirely, but actually had to port it 😛

I wouldn't be doing work if a better coder had already done all of it for me, haha

[red flower]

arent both the same?

okay can you copy the last 2 if statements and send them here as text, i'll just send what you have to put

not that

How can I tell when a UI node is hovered over, versus a card?

[untold vigil]

            card.ability.extra.invis_rounds = card.ability.extra.invis_rounds + 1
        end
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and
            (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 = "Fusion Queen! Evolution King!" }
        end
    end,```

I think this were the ones

[normal crest]

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
    card.ability.extra.invis_rounds = card.ability.extra.invis_rounds + 1

    if 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 = "Fusion Queen! Evolution King!" }
    end
end

Maybe I'm getting confused by my own napkin math, but no, right? I think it's easier to grok if you forget about the fact that there are multiple rare cards. If there's a 90% chance of a common, and a 10% of a rare, and each has 2 jokers in there, it'd treat the spawn chances as such:
Common A - 45%
Common B - 45%
Rare A - 5%
Rare B - 5%

if you say 'Rare B is twice as common' and treat that as applying generally, it'd turn into:
Common A - 41%
Common B - 41%
Rare A - 4.5%
Rare B - 9%

while if it's only adjusting odds in pool, it'd turn into:
Common A - 45%
Common B - 45%
Rare A - 3.33%
Rare B - 6.66%

The actual math is fuzzier than that because it involves squashing the odds down, and you can't actually keep odds symmetrical when you change the size of the total pool, but I tried to read an article on it and decided it wasn't going to matter enough for me to truly understand, haha

[normal crest]

Honestly the adjusting odds per rarity pool makes more sense to me

[gentle rain]

hmmmmmm, this is supposed to mark each card with a certain suit, then randomly reset that suit in context.before, then cards with that mark give 2x mult when scored, but it keeps crashing because context.other_card is a nil value

[midnight coyote]

this is something to do with my dissolve hook but im not quite sure what

[normal crest]

you're not making rare jokers more common, you're making a specific rare joker more common

[midnight coyote]

function Card.start_dissolve(self,dissolve_colours,silent,dissolve_time_fac,no_juice)
  SMODS.calculate_context({card_killed = true})
  return sd_ref(self,dissolve_colours,silent,dissolve_time_fac,no_juice)
end

[wintry solar]

cards dissolve outside of a run

[wintry solar]

this is how I see it too, the rarity of the card is a different calculation entirely imo

[normal crest]

the error here is you don't have a context.individual check in your 2nd if statement

so other card is not always defiend

[red flower]

oh yeah no makes sense

but still, the general implementation would allow you to adjust for both

[hushed field]

I do think that's because you two know how rarity works behind the scenes, more so than it being the intuitive option out of those two, but I don't know how true that actually is

[midnight coyote]

yeah specifically it’s crashing during the startup so i was guessing this

[gentle rain]

i seeeee

[red star]

Thinking out loud here for a moment; feel free to ignore.

• Extra Deck is not visible unless called.
• Field Spell is where I want my object to be, so I have that reference.
• I only want the object to appear for a certain deck, so I put the calling event in the backs section for that specific deck, and I'll have to have something remove the object when that deck is not in use.
• Extra Deck and Field Spell have an independent Joker limit... how was that obtained?

[midnight coyote]

so how would i check to see if im currently in a run before calculating the context

[red flower]

joyousspring mentioned

[wintry solar]

knowing how it internally works is important for building a smods feature though, whatever we build in has to match how vanilla spawns work

[red flower]

this specifically is why i didnt PR it myself tho haha

not just because im lazy (i am)

[midnight coyote]

wait when is G.GAME initialized

at the start of a run right

[normal crest]

idk when but it's defined outside of a run too

[untold vigil]

It gives me syntax error

[midnight coyote]

hmm

[normal crest]

you forgot a comma right before loc_txt

[solid mesa]

how can you know it?

[normal crest]

actually you're missing an end too

[midnight coyote]

i could check for a variable like G.GAME.Risk that i KNOW FOR A FACT is defined at the start of a run because i defined it myself

[normal crest]

experience

[solid mesa]

Alzheimer kicks in

[midnight coyote]

or alternatively i could set up something in the start_run function so i’m not relying on a random variable i defined there

just like G.GAME.in_run = true or smtn

[wintry solar]

yeah that makes a lot of sense 🤣

[hushed field]

yeah, no I do agree from the smods vanilla-esque pov, for sure. I think how a player might interpret 'twice as likely to show up' is also more out of my language interest, as the pools of jokers are large enough for the actual difference not to be noticable

[normal crest]

add one more end between those two above loc_txt and just run the formatter, it'll make it look nice for you

and omg please learn lua next time

[hushed field]

I think at the vanilla joker pool's size, it's only really going to matter if you make anything have a weight that's multiplied by a few tenfolds. At which point, I think you may have been better off just using the forced_key option 😛

[red flower]

yeah i designed this system for my 300+ (soon 400+) jokers mod

[wintry solar]

I think I'm settling on letting any smods object able to have a weight = X property, where the default value is 5, that will effect it's chance to spawn within whatever pool it finds itself in

[sonic cedar]

oh my god what the peak

[untold vigil]

If I just put it then it will mark a syntax error

[hushed field]

but I guess, in the same way that reducing the pool to 4 jokers for an example, I do think making the phrasing example way extreme also illustrates why it can feel unintuitive. If you read "Baron is one million times as likely to spawn', and you have one reroll, I think most people would be surprised if it turns out baron doesn't show up when they click reroll

[normal crest]

nevermind then, you just ignored the code i sent okay

[untold vigil]

Will do

[normal crest]

the 2nd if is meant to be inside the first if

[hardy wasp]

Is there a way to remotely trigger a game over when a function is run?

[red flower]

i think the problem is restricting it to one object, we should combine all pools into one

SMODS.poll_object gives you an edition? put it in the shop

just the edition

[maiden phoenix]

if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER; G.STATE_COMPLETE = false end

[normal crest]

"Baron is one million times more likely to spawn when a Rare Joker is created" vs "Baron is one million times more likely to spawn when a Joker of any rarity is created", in the first case you're increasing only Baron's weight, in the 2nd one you're increasing both the Rare rarity's weight and Baron's weight

that's kinda how I see it

[wintry solar]

you mean like this?

[red flower]

damn cant have new ideas anymore theyre all taken by ortalab

[hushed field]

yeah, that's how I'd phrase it too, but I think people are definitely less likely to use 'Rare jokers are a million times more likely to be Baron' as phrasing, just because it feels a bit technical

[red flower]

{C:attention}baron{} is more {E:2,C:edition}more likely

[hardy wasp]

Thank you so much, just tested it and it works

[normal crest]

{C:attention}baron{} is more

[sonic cedar]

add master duel craft points to joyousspring

[red flower]

honestly i might

[normal crest]

maybe the phrase "Baron is more likely to spawn" is just ambiguous and shouldn't be used

it's better to be more specific than to save up on some screen space i guess

[wintry solar]

yeah I think that's the correct conclusion here

[wild escarp]

Would I be able to have a challenge start you off with just one random playing card?

[sonic cedar]

i shouldve added the j it's over (copium i cant pull for my life)

[untold vigil]

I'm not silly
I'm directly idiot

Omg I took so much time to understand

[red flower]

while i have you here
do you think this is good

the center.object_types part

[hushed field]

Would it be too complicated if there's just two weights that can be altered? So the modder can decide which effect they want?

[wintry solar]

what does it do?

[red flower]

adds a reference to the object types in the center

so you dont have to iterate G.P_CENTER_POOLS.key

[normal crest]

(well it just sets the key to true)

[hushed field]

I think I do basically that in Kino, for genres

[wintry solar]

oh this is in SMODS.ObjectType?

[red flower]

yes

[red flower]

srockw i appreciate you

[wintry solar]

used to check if the center is in a specific object type, right?

[normal crest]

idk if that's sarcastic :(

[red flower]

yes

[red flower]

it's not

[normal crest]

also would modifying the pools table that centers have cause issues

[untold vigil]

Nvm the struggles continue

[normal crest]

instead of adding a new one

[red flower]

thats why i didnt do it

because i dont know :3

[wintry solar]

seems reasonably useful

[hushed field]

Caught in 4k

[midnight coyote]

could i substitute a blind object for card?

in a calculate function? because im trying to make something like the arm

[normal crest]

yeah it's way better than having to loop through a possibly very very long list every time you want to check if a center is in a pool

[red flower]

update smods

[unborn bay]

pools added in pools only get added when the object is injected

aka once

[untold vigil]

I have to set the key for this?

[wintry solar]

oh weightings, I have not missed you

[midnight coyote]

it wont work cuz its not the same type, just realized.

[normal crest]

you have an old version of steamodded

you need to update to the latest release

[untold vigil]

Just realized

[rapid stag]

ok so the progress with my cursed alchemy - i've found a pretty clean way to remove the quit button from the main menu.

and i've worked out how to add it to options, but i need to... uh, make it not look like this. what do?

[hushed field]

It's very helpful for allowing Crossmod pool compatibility to not be as invasive in your own code. You could set up a specific file for Cryptid compat, instead of having to adjust your code to account for it, for example

[normal crest]

in that case maybe modifying it is not an issue at all

[hushed field]

Every time I properly try to understand the math of how these weights are set up, I just die, honestly

[wintry solar]

same and I wrote the damn thing 🤣

[unborn bay]

weights,,,,,

[rapid stag]

...wait, this is just in a G.UIT.ROOT oh god

[silver tusk]

Does anyone know how I could make it so this function is called after defeating the boss blind

[red star]

You have no idea how massively helpful it's been. I appreciate you.

[untold vigil]

Thank yall... Man I feel demotivated

[midnight coyote]

okay

how do i level down a hand similar to arm

[red flower]

let me know if you have issues
im practically here all day

[sonic cedar]

get motivated 👍

[sonic cedar]

did you look at how arm does it

[midnight coyote]

where would i look

[untold vigil]

To learn lua

So I can either make better next time or fumble it up less times

[hallow slate]

How do I edit a card upon drawing it to hand?

[red flower]

return { level_up = -1 }

[midnight coyote]

oh nvm

im a fool

[rapid stag]

IT DOESN'T EVEN CLOSE THE GAME

[midnight coyote]

oh alr

[sonic cedar]

oh it’s literally straight up nvm

[red flower]

im adding the blinds to vanillaremade tomorrow

using blind calc

[midnight coyote]

THANK YOU

MY SAVIOR

[sonic cedar]

unrelated but we’re so back

I wonder if I can change the total in the same way

Like 1 in 2 to 1 in 4

Probably possible

[red flower]

btw im really thankful to wilson for making it so you can move the cursor

[normal crest]

oh my god

[wintry solar]

oh my god tell me about it

it's so good

[sonic cedar]

It’s peak

[normal crest]

no longer need to write evals in a text editor before pasting them ingame

[sonic cedar]

TRUE

[hushed field]

damn i need to update

[sonic cedar]

won’t need this notepad anymore

[north swallow]

how would i make it so it does the blueprint effect 2 times?

[rapid stag]

nope, still weird. no clue what's going on

[normal crest]

I assume it's cus your quit button doesn't have the function to call when it's pressed

[rapid stag]

no, i figured the quit function out the button closes the game if i hit it now

[normal crest]

oh

it's just the position now?

[rapid stag]

yes

[normal crest]

try putting the button as a node of a row

{ n = G.UIT.R, nodes = { button here } }

[rapid stag]

it is

[normal crest]

oh uhmm

[wintry solar]

not in that code it isnt

[normal crest]

i think the UIBox function thing returns it in a row

that's what i interpreted

[wild escarp]

What are all the suit and rank keys I should be using for cards in a challenge deck?

[sonic cedar]

whwre is it

[rapid stag]

i see

[drifting vapor]

Small Question! how would i detect if a card is being retriggered or not for a joker?

[brazen shard]

Yo, sorry if I'm intruding in a conversation, but I'm trying to make a texturepack for my friend and me, and thought it would be nice to use Malverk to be able to turn it on and off. I've already gotten it to work without it, but wanna try to make it toggleable.

I'm using the Seal Seals mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/balatro/mods/438?tab=description) as a start point, but don't know exactly how to get the texture to replace the cards instead of the seals as the seal seal mod does.

Anyone got any quick solutions, or maybe just some better malverk documentation, cuz this line on the github doesnt tell me anything without finding an actual wiki? The wiki I've found is basically just "Malverk is a thing that exists. I'm not gonna tell you how to use it tho" (https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Malverk)

[normal crest]

nvm they literally put col = true lol

i think all you have to do is remove that from the function

@rapid stag

[rapid stag]

ahhhh, i was wondering about that

yeah that fixed it

[wintry solar]

I never made a wiki 😭 what cards are you trying to change?

[sonic cedar]

is it not context.retrigger_joker

[north swallow]

bump bc if i dont get this done ill DIE

[brazen shard]

Replace the deck cards, like ace, king, queen etc

[wintry solar]

that's not what malverk is for

[brazen shard]

ah okay, so im trying to use a hammer to turn a bolt, got it

[sonic cedar]

pretty sure you can just use the suit’s actual name as a string

[sonic cedar]

aure’s cat is so cute if we’re being fr

[red flower]

i never remove embeds from smods wiki

[sonic cedar]

Why would you

[long sun]

i'd like to add a button between Run Info and Options — how would i go about doing that?

[sonic cedar]

aure’s cat

[normal crest]

people are more likely to look at them thanks to the cat

[sonic cedar]

Is this a patch thing you think

[wild escarp]

That seems to just crash it.

[long sun]

proooobably? i'm unsure if there's a better method that i'm unaware of though

[red flower]

look at how Grim does it maybe? it adds a button there iirc

or at the top but the logic should be the same

[normal crest]

the keys on the left
