:flip() on the card, prolly? And placing all that in an event would be good

[daring fern]

You need to use events also if you want an animation it won't count in scoring.

[viral ember]

oh

sorry, event?

[vale glen]

Axy wrote something for this before, lemme find

[daring fern]

[hasty mist]

how do i check the ante number

[viral ember]

how do I use this lol (sorry)

[vale glen]

Now or how

Ah

[viral ember]

how

[daring fern]

G.GAME.round_resets.ante

[vale glen]

Uh, will explain more on PC, will need some time to get there

Likeeee 15 min

[viral ember]

alr thanks

I really appreciate your help

[rapid stag]

so i want to make a spectral card that's like soul in that it's rare and can also appear in arcana packs, but i want it to be a tad more common than soul cards. where do i start with that?

[daring fern]

You would modify soul_rate

Also you would patch here I think:

[rapid stag]

...ohhh right, the consumables page has this kinda stuff...
so hidden is a table parameter of SMODS.Consumable?

[daring fern]

No, hidden is a boolean

[sleek cliff]

ok so I just started a new run and it worked

[hasty mist]

what happened here?

should i just use card instead of blind?

that seems wrong

[rapid stag]

i don't think i need to.

if i'm reading this right, i should just be able to specify the parameters soul_set = 'Tarot' alongside my hidden = true and soul_rate

so if i'm understanding properly, my consumable would look like

SMODS.Consumable({
  key = 'myKey',
  set = 'Spectral',
  atlas = 'myAtlas',
  pos = { x = blah, y = blah },
  soul_pos = { x = blah, y = blah },
  cost = 4,
  hidden = true,
  soul_set = 'Tarot',
  soul_rate = myRateHere
})```

obviously excluding my can_use and use functions

[sleek cliff]

Ok, so how do I remove the revived jokers from the table of destroyed jokers

[daring fern]

pseudorandom_element also returns an index so you would remove the entry from that index.

[sleek cliff]

where would I put that

[daring fern]

local random_joker, index = pseudorandom_element(G.GAME.destroyed_jokers, pseudoseed("seed"))
local card = SMODS.add_card({key = random_joker.key})
for k, v in pairs(random_joker.ability) do
    card.ability[k] = v
end
table.remove(G.GAME.destroyed_jokers, index)

[sleek cliff]

thamnk

[vale glen]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  local valid_context = context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and not context.repetition_only
  if valid_context then
    BerryLegendaries.FlipApply(context.other_card, function(i,v)
      SMODS.change_base(v, 'Hearts')
    end, true)
  end
end

That's if you're using that code directly

If not, thennnn

continues typing

[viral ember]

lol

That's cool and I want to use it but how do I add BerryLegendaries?

[vale glen]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  local valid_context = context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and not context.repetition_only
  if valid_context then
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.03, func = function(i,v)
      context.other_card:flip()
      return true
    end})

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.03, func = function(i,v)
      SMODS.change_base(context.other_card, 'Hearts')
      context.other_card:flip()
      return true
    end})
  end
end

[viral ember]

oh wow

that

is a lot

[vale glen]

Just try copy-pasting that in place of your calculate function

[viral ember]

lmao

[vale glen]

Alright, now we can check if other_card exists in the context you want

Or if we access it some other way

[viral ember]

?

[vale glen]

Looking at this atm

[viral ember]

ah

[vale glen]

Specifically this one

What were you trying to do with this again?

[viral ember]

well I'm trying to make it so all played cards are given a random suit

then they're played

the true gambling of joker cards

[vale glen]

Oh

That's like, almost exactly what Axy does with one of their Jokers, except it's a random enhancement then

[viral ember]

oh lol

great minds think alike ig

my amazing joker art

(yes this is the final one, no I'm not changing it, yes I'm a professional pixel artist)

[vale glen]

The one for the relevant Joker

[viral ember]

stick 🔥

[exotic imp]

where could I find the base game backgrounds and other pieces for jokers?

[viral ember]

do you have 7Zip or winrar

[exotic imp]

7zip

[viral ember]

open Balatro.exe with it

should be under resources

btw the animated background is a shader

[exotic imp]

which one?

[viral ember]

ectract to Balatro/

will make life easier

[tall jewel]

id extract it to a subfolder!!!

not the base path!

[viral ember]

is that not what it does

oop

I misread that yea

[vale glen]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  local valid_context = context.before
  if valid_context then
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.03, func = function(i,v)
      for i,v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        v:flip()
      end
      return true
    end})

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.03, func = function(i,v)
      for i,v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        SMODS.change_base(v, pseudorandom_element({'Clubs', 'Diamonds', 'Hearts', 'Spades'}, pseudoseed('Astral_meow')))
        v:juice_up()
      end
      return true
    end})

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.03, func = function(i,v)
      for i,v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        v:flip()
      end
      return true
    end})
  end
end

Ah wait, gotta add a random suit

[viral ember]

oh dear lord

I understand what all of this does but jesus christ is that a wall

[vale glen]

Fortunately, you just need to press the copy button and paste it in the right spot

[viral ember]

lol

thanks for the help

this will really help me later on

[tall jewel]

if you wanna talk about a wall..

[vale glen]

And this is like 30 lines of code, not much

[viral ember]

Balatro The Wall reference?!?!?

[tall jewel]

this is the code for the fishing minigame im working on

[viral ember]

oh dear lord

[vale glen]

[tall jewel]

[viral ember]

Astral_meow is crazy lmao

[tall jewel]

for reference this is it currently

[wooden nexus]

Okay, so I'm looking at the smods ownership of Grim, Familiar, and incantation. Is there a way to check for a specific modded suit from the outcome and then reroll before the card is made (I'm trying to bypass an ARGS issue I'm having.

[vale glen]

Do we have to play Go Fish for our cards instead of the shop

Spend money to get bait, to get chance of card

[tall jewel]

lmfao no but thats funny

the idea is tarot = bait, a joker allows you to fish, fish = econ

[viral ember]

they flip but they don't change lmao

I'll figure it out

trust

[tall jewel]

but also you'll lose money if you fail to catch a fish

(it'll be an actual minigame)

[vale glen]

Mmh, maybe the SMODS.change_base function wasn't written right, Axy didn't quite look at the docs

[placid silo]

hmmm Go Fish, you say?

[upbeat bronze]

how would i have a joker read the suit of a played card

[hybrid shadow]

cool footage of functional sticker working as intended

[sturdy compass]

bump

[vale glen]

Try SMODS.change_base(v, pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Suits, pseudorandom('Astral_meow'))).key)

[sturdy compass]

(I'm gonna be bumping this for awhile lol)

[hybrid shadow]

wdym by this

[vale glen]

Would look into it too, but currently helping others, haha

While we're at it, would also like to know how to make a Text object hoverable and clickable

[sturdy compass]

The basic gist is I added a Love2D Sprite object to the main menu and I want to make it clickable

[tall jewel]

Also obligatory shill this was done using this library I made https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1378838298851541022

[viral ember]

what is with that syntax?

[vale glen]

?

What do you mean?

[viral ember]

am I the stupid one?

no

[vale glen]

Uh, is SMODS in your workspace for the IDE you're using

[viral ember]

you added an extra ) before .key

[vale glen]

oh, oops

[viral ember]

lol

[hybrid shadow]

would this be in balatro's base code somewhere

[sturdy compass]

a classic blunder

[vale glen]

xD

[sullen falcon]

Can someone help me with brainstorm mod

[viral ember]

It works

[vale glen]

Does it like, make the suits change too

It should work with modded suits this way, if you don't want that we can change that too

[sturdy compass]

I have no clue tbh. I tried digging into how cards are made clickable but that wasn't helpful

[viral ember]

i can't send the funny one piece it's so peak gif

I hate discord

[sullen falcon]

Please?

[hybrid shadow]

id imagine you could use the code for the object added to the main menu but i have to scour the base game's code to find that

[lavish lake]

[viral ember]

It's perfect thank you so much

[vale glen]

yay yay

[hybrid shadow]

downloading?

[viral ember]

I never would've figured out the event crap

[vale glen]

Will have chimken nuggies later to celebrate

[sullen falcon]

Actually nvm I got it figured out

[upbeat bronze]

alright so what do i do from here

[tall jewel]

nuumgies

yippie

[hasty mist]

fuckkk i have to actually learn how to use pseudorandom

[vale glen]

Line 27 should have #context.scoring_hand == card.ability.extra.size, since you need exactly two cards. Then set context.scoring_hand[1]'s suit to context.scoring_hand[0]'s suit, using SMODS.change_base().

[lucid owl]

when bp is used on this card, it works fine, however the status effect message appears twice over the original card, rather than once on bp and once and on the card. what's happening here?

[upbeat bronze]

alright thank you

[normal crest]

you need to store the value of context.blueprint_card before launching any events

as by the time your event runs that value will have changed

[lucid owl]

agh okay, so just save it as a local var?

[normal crest]

yep

before the first add_event

[hasty mist]

alright, I'm trying to randomize between a large list of actions to perform at context.end_of_round, how would i do that?

[vale glen]

What happens if you put card = context.blueprint_card or card just below colour = HEX("FF98E2") in your code?

[normal crest]

that will have the same effect sadly

blueprint_card is nil by the time the event runs

[lucid owl]

worked perfectly, ty!

[normal crest]

np

[viral ember]

Ok update: it changes the suit but other jokers aren't effected and still use the old suit :/

[hasty mist]

i've never used pseudorandom before

[vale glen]

Other... jokers?

[normal crest]

you want to use context.modify_scoring_hand

[vale glen]

Ohhh

[viral ember]

I have no idea how to change that so it's a feature not a mistake

[normal crest]

context.before is too late to change stuff like that

otherwise you can do context.after to provide more accurate feedback lol

[vale glen]

Awh, that's sad then. At least saving in a local variable works.

[viral ember]

like these

they use the old suits instead of the random ones

[vale glen]

If you can put the list of actions in a table, can use pseudorandom_element to choose between them. You could also randomly choose between a list of integers using that function, then have a giant if, elseif chain that switches between them based on the chosen value.

[vale glen]

Oh, didn't think about that. Then yeah, try the other context srockw mentioned

[normal crest]

if you do use that context you will probably have to move the changing of suits outside of the event still

but i could be wrong

[hasty mist]

could i just do something along the lines of "if pseudorandom = 1 then action 1" etc

[viral ember]

honestly I might make it turn all cards played into 1 random suit after they're played

[orchid ginkgo]

am, hi

[upbeat bronze]

uhhhhhhm

[orchid ginkgo]

im interested in learn how to do a mod

[hybrid shadow]

bump

[orchid ginkgo]

:)

[upbeat bronze]

man im havin trouble with something simple again

[normal crest]

what have you tried

[orchid ginkgo]

it's simple, i only want to change names of the jokers

[upbeat bronze]

the vanilla remade database is not helping cause everything related to changing suits is contained within a massive bracket of stuff i feel i dont need

[vale glen]

Store the result of your pseudorandom call once in a local variable, then branch off that later.

[hybrid shadow]

i havent tried anything, i dont know the code to put in the loop to check the rank

[sullen falcon]

how do i turn on debug menu in brainstorm mod

[orchid ginkgo]

any tip

?

[hasty mist]

how would i do that?

[normal crest]

local has_rank
for k, v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
  if v:get_id() == 4 then
    has_rank = true
    break
  end
end

pretty much

[hybrid shadow]

the 4 is just whatever rank i want it to be?

[normal crest]

it's the id of the rank

[hybrid shadow]

so like v:get_id() == 6 would return true if there was a 6 in hand?

[normal crest]

that's hwo to check for 6 yeah, where you're checking depends on what you pass to ipairs, here I put context.full_hand which refers to the played hand, including unscoring cards

[hybrid shadow]

yeah that is what i want to check luckily

[normal crest]

awesome

[vale glen]

Use a local variable to store your pseudorandom calls as shown in lines 508 through 509, then use an if statement as shown in lines 514 and lower.

[normal crest]

yk using pseudoseed(os.time()) kinda defeats the point of pseudorandom numbers

at that point might as well use math.random

[vale glen]

The person requesting it wanted true random, but also wanted stuff like Rigged to work on it. So going through a commonly used function in Balatro would let others hook that function, while still preserving randomness while using DebugPlus or similar.

Elsewhere in the code Axy uses a string for the seed, since that needed to look random, but be deterministic per seed.

Oddities like this are usually because it better matches the card creator's vision, rather than whatever Axy was trying to do for cleanliness.

[hasty mist]

im trying to use seeded random without rigging working

[upbeat bronze]

man im art guy not code guy, who wants to code for me cause i aint gonna get frustrated over this

[vale glen]

No one if anyone would ever hook pseudorandom, but yeah

[normal crest]

fair enough, although I believe rigged modifies only the probabilities, as modifying the pseudorandom functions will most likely lead to side effects

[upbeat bronze]

i'll keep pumpin out art if someone can code it

[vale glen]

:o

Ah, so it only affects G.GAME.probabilities? Huh, never looked into it actually.

[upbeat bronze]

why pog

[normal crest]

don't take my word for it

but i believe that's the case

[vale glen]

Mmh, although Axy has enough on their plate to code and worry about, rather than look into Rigged atm

Although that's a good idea to look into later

Thank you!

[hasty mist]

Essentially this is what i'm trying to do, for example it would choose between things such as hands, discards, dollars, chips, mult, etc.

[upbeat bronze]

but fr tho if anyone wanna work with me on a music mod code wise, let me know

[viral ember]

how would one "disable" a card like in the plant?

[upbeat bronze]

cant pay cuz im broke but it'd be a guaranteed popular mod a-la balatro goes kino

[sturdy compass]

once again pretty banger arts

[upbeat bronze]

thanks

[sturdy compass]

I would probably offer to help if I didn't have a lot on my plate rn

[upbeat bronze]

fair

[vale glen]

Axy is absolutely procrastinating on doing their schoolwork

[sturdy compass]

Axy you should get on that

[vale glen]

weh

[hasty mist]

Ideally i would like to call pseudorandom, change a config value to that number, giving a random number and then for each end_of_round context check for the number in the config

So i know what i want to do from a technical standpoint

I just don't understand how exactly to do it

[hybrid shadow]

followup question if i wanted to add a second rank to the loop, would "or" be represented by breaking the loop after returning true in the if (or would that stop it from reading the second if) and would "and" be represented by... not breaking?

[vale glen]

There's a bunch of ease_hands or ease_discards functions or similar, that you could use for that. Just need to branch it as described earlier.

[normal crest]

you'd do if v:get_id() == 4 or v:get_id() == 5 for example

[hasty mist]

yeah i don't need help for anything except utilizing pseudorandom

[upbeat bronze]

yeah i figured i might as well ask, worst that can happen is silence, best is a nice idea gets done

[hybrid shadow]

oh, ok

im guessing i wouldnt do and in the if though considering a card cannot be multiple ranks

[normal crest]

exactly

[hasty mist]

in the most simple sense, i want to simply randomize a value in my config at the end of each round from a set range (for example 1 to 10)

[normal crest]

and you want that value to be independent of the run's seed?

[hasty mist]

no i want it to tie into the run's seed, but not able to be riggable

[normal crest]

wouldn't that just be pseudorandom("something", 1, 10) then

[vale glen]

Yeh, and calling without both of those parameters would give a random value between 0 and 1

[hybrid shadow]

so im guessing it would look more like lua local has_rank = 0 for k, v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do if v:get_id() == 6 then has_rank = has_rank + 1 end if v:get_id() == 9 then has_rank = has_rank + 1 end

[hasty mist]

so something like this?

[normal crest]

if you wanted to count the amount of each yeah that'd work

[normal crest]

that pseudorandom call will return an integer between 1 and 10 inclusive iirc, so you need to do something with it

[hasty mist]

wdym

[hybrid shadow]

would i need to run 2 different loops with each adding true respectively if i wanted a joker to make sure that both ranks are present?

[normal crest]

no, you'd just make two variables

and increment a different one for each rank

[manic rune]

you can shorten it by just having one if statement and if v:get_id() == 6 or v:get_id() == 9 then

[hybrid shadow]

like in the local? local has_rank_(one) has_rank_(two)?

[normal crest]

well you got your randomized value, you gotta do what you were planning to do with it, "randomize a value in my config" is what you said and i'm not sure what that means exactly

[normal crest]

i think they're trying to do smt different on each rank

[manic rune]

local has_rank_one = false, has_rank_two = false

wait

wrong roder a

[hasty mist]

i want to randomize card.ability.extra.random

[manic rune]

local has_rank_one, has_rank_two = false, false

[hybrid shadow]

i know how to do the or, im trying to do the and

[normal crest]

card.ability.extra.random = pseudorandom("some unique string", 1, 10)

[hasty mist]

awesome ty!!

[manic rune]

if v:get_id() == 6 then
has_rank_one = true
end
if v:get_id() == 9 then
has_rank_two = true
end

smt like that

[normal crest]

hi bepis :3

[manic rune]

hi brock from pokemon

[normal crest]

close enough

i'll take it

[keen totem]

how do i get the player's settings?

[manic rune]

i think theres G.SETTINGS or smt

[keen totem]

like whether or not they have pixel art smoothing on or not to be specific

[normal crest]

Looks like it's G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.texture_scaling which is 2 when smoothing is on

and 1 when it's off

[keen totem]

"looks like its", where do you see it?

[normal crest]

I just logged G.SETTINGS in the debugplus console

[viral ember]

World's best seal

[normal crest]

and scrolled thru until i found smt to do with graphics

[hybrid shadow]

do you need to end a for statement in a loop?

[viral ember]

weird overlay issue

[hybrid shadow]

i may have forgotten, ill check my code to see if i did with others

[viral ember]

hm

[hybrid shadow]

yeah, i do

[hasty mist]

hm, what'd i do wrong here?

[hybrid shadow]

config

show it

[hasty mist]

wait

i think i see the issue

random is supposed to be set to a number

which happens in the same context as ease_discards

[normal crest]

i think the function just has a different name

ease_discard

not plural

[hasty mist]

alright now it seems to not be doing anything

actually

i think ik why

[hasty mist]

uhm what

[keen totem]

it says 3

[vale glen]

3

[normal crest]

add and context.main_eval to your end_of_round check

[hasty mist]

it also seems to be temporary

but the hands/discards easing is intended to be permanent

[normal crest]

you'd have to modify G.GAME.round_resets.discards i believe

[hybrid shadow]

also this question may sound incredibly stupid but would there happen to be some variable that tracks when jokers with certain effects trigger? like jokers that trigger with chips, mult, xmult (xchips partly required but if not possible i might instead be able to just hook the trigger of other jokers (even if i dont entirely know how to do that))

[normal crest]

to apply a permanent change

[hasty mist]

hm

is that the same for hands?

[viral ember]

hey this modding thing is pretty easy when you have a lot of documentation

(I've been modding minecraft for 2 years)

[normal crest]

should be, you can check ingame by putting eval G.GAME.round_resets in the console

that will print that table

[hasty mist]

oh that seems useful

[keen totem]

i am having a fucking field day with these stupid ass jokers based on your games settings

[hasty mist]

hm, now it seems to be doing nothing

heres the code

[vale glen]

You can use help in the console for a list of commands, too

[viral ember]

I have a custom seal that I'm trying to apply to all played cards but it just crashes?

I can do it with 'Purple' and such but my custom one won't work

[manic rune]

id try hooking to SMODS.calculate_effect

[hasty mist]

i dont see why this wouldn't work, it's printing "3" just fine

[vale glen]

Wondering if it needs a mod prefix or similar, not sure how set_seal works

Like, it might want s_modprefix_useless_seal or something

[normal crest]

you're increasing the max amount of discards, but not the amount left in the current round

try starting a new round and it should set to that

[hasty mist]

ohh i see

what ??

[vale glen]

Prolly Talisman for that error

[manic rune]

table vs number

[viral ember]

I'll try it

[normal crest]

i guess discards aren't big nums

[hasty mist]

it seems to be in balatro itself though, not my mod

[viral ember]

nope :/

[vale glen]

Talisman stores numbers as {mantissa, exponent}, while numbers are, well, a number.

[hasty mist]

ah i see

[normal crest]

idk, it's not balatro itself

it's talisman

[hasty mist]

so i shouldn't to_big the discards

[vale glen]

Yeh, lovely patches exist and can make it look like that

[normal crest]

try without the s_

[viral ember]

what

[normal crest]

modprefix_useless_seal

[hybrid shadow]

how do

[manic rune]

i dont think G.GAME.round_resets.discards was initially a table

[viral ember]

what should modprefix be?

I don't see that in this

[normal crest]

whatever is in your mod's metadata as prefix

[manic rune]

so you turning it into a table mightve caused some checks in the base code to go wrong

[viral ember]

oh-

[manic rune]

uh

[viral ember]

It worked!

[manic rune]

anyone got the hook tutorial in hand

[hybrid shadow]

the overall lua hooking tutorial is not entirely helpful when it comes to balatro modding

[manic rune]

it... kind of is for me

[hybrid shadow]

i might just be an idiot then

[manic rune]

im on phone rn so give me a moment

[hasty mist]

still getting the same crash after removing to_big from G.GAME.round_resets.discards

[manic rune]

what does the code look like now

[normal crest]

you're still calling to_big on the other value tho

[manic rune]

ye

[normal crest]

number + bignum = bignum

[hasty mist]

hm

i think i see

talisman is hard 😭

[normal crest]

yeah it's not pleasant to work with

I don't like talisman

[hybrid shadow]

im looking at the tutorial rn

[hasty mist]

i hope luajit2 becomes meta eventually so this wont be an issue

[manic rune]

local ceref = SMODS.calculate_effect(add the args here)

function SMODS.calculate_effect(add the args here)
   local ret = ceref(self, add the args here)
   if ret.xmult or ret.x_mult or ret.Xmult then
      --xmult?
   end 
   return ret
end

[hasty mist]

okay, it STILL gives the exact same crash, i dont understand

[manic rune]

this is assuming that SMODS.calculate_effect is used when calculate returns smt

[normal crest]

if you saved your run after setting discards to a bignum yeah that will keep happening

you will have to manually set it back using the console or start a new run

[hasty mist]

i do a new run every time i test

[normal crest]

Oh

[manic rune]

hm

[hybrid shadow]

stupider question, what are "the args"

[normal crest]

card.ability.extra.mod is being set to a bignum earlier

[manic rune]

can you check what the line the crash log is pointing to rq

[manic rune]

search smods

go to your vsc, do a search on function SMODS.calculate_effect and check for the args

im not a wizard so i cant remember them off the top of my head :3

[normal crest]

i gotchu

[hasty mist]

that can't be right

[manic rune]

u sure ur checking from lovely dumps?

[manic rune]

thank you 🪨

[hasty mist]

ah i am not

[normal crest]

also it's gotta be line 96 here

you're setting it to a bignum there

[hasty mist]

in lovely dumps

[normal crest]

yep it's gotta be that first comparison with 0, it's likely the game sets discards_left to round_resets.discards when round ends

so discards_left would end up being a bignum too

[hasty mist]

how do i fix this

[normal crest]

!!!

[manic rune]

yeah, what srockw pointed out, card.ability.extra.mod is a table

[hasty mist]

so i should remove to_big from line 96 too?

that seems like itd trip talisman

[manic rune]

yes

it shouldnt

it will only cause comparisons with that and a bignum to crash, but as long as you keep that in mind it shouldnt matter

[vale glen]

Axy's never used to_big in functions before, despite having Talisman installed. Things just work. Wondering if Axy is somehow doing something wrong, despite the code working anyways.

[hasty mist]

i can not wait until luajit2 is more popular 😭

[manic rune]

it wont crash if no bignums are compared with a normal number

[normal crest]

it only really matters when you modify game values directly

if you don't do that then you're safe

[manic rune]

aka if its variable stuff in your jokers and such only, then ur good

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know what causes this issue when i try to open deck view? it happens regardless of if i have cryptid, entropy or vall-karri enabled

[normal crest]

and not all numbers are turned into bignums

who would want more than 1e308 discards i guess

[vale glen]

Ahh. Axy tries to use provided functions whenever possible, in case anyone wants to hook them, so modifying game values directly doesn't happen.

[manic rune]

true

[hasty mist]

alright, seems to work now, thanks yall

[hybrid shadow]

like so?

[normal crest]

on the first line you don't want the arguments, only local ceref = SMODS.calculate_effect

[umbral zodiac]

updated smods like i thought it was but it still happens unfortunately

[hybrid shadow]

THATS WHAT ARG MEANS???

[normal crest]

as for when you call that ref you want to pass the same arguments of the function, aka local ret = ceref(effect, scored_card, from_edition, pre_jokers)

no self needed here

[sonic cedar]

does anyone know where glass card code is stored?

not for recreation purposes this time, im trying to patch

[hybrid shadow]

this better?

[manic rune]

you can hook to glass card's calculate instead

[umbral zodiac]

are you coding in the notes app of your phone or is it just the same screen size and font

[manic rune]

a lot of mods uhh take ownership of glass cards, so your patch will turn out to do nothing in certain cases:3

[hybrid shadow]

me?

[umbral zodiac]

yes

[hybrid shadow]

im using google docs on my phone because the actual files are on my steam deck and the built in keyboard on steam deck is... not good lol

[umbral zodiac]

😭

[manic rune]

ceref(self, effect, scored_card,...)

wait

[hasty mist]

i tried coding in notepad when i first started 😭

[hybrid shadow]

im getting two conflicting stories here

[manic rune]

theres no need for self??

[umbral zodiac]

ok fr does anyone know what causes attempt to index field "T" (a nil value) when attempting to view the deck
its not caused by any of the major mods i have enabled and my brain is boiling right now im so damn tired

[manic rune]

what the hell, i used self

lemme double check on pc rq

[vale glen]

Depends if you're writing class:function or class.function in the hook

One of them wants a self as a first parameter, the other doesn't

Same functionality, just different syntax

[manic rune]

oh, yeah i see

i only use :, thats probably why

[vale glen]

Mmh, it's better to use : for organizational purposes

[hybrid shadow]

what's actually the capital T in this case

[vale glen]

T would have to be a transform, but dunno which card lost its transform table or how

[umbral zodiac]

so a card in my deck has no transform for Literally No Reason! im so tormented!

[vale glen]

And like, staring at the crash log doesn't help much, and you'd have to look at the lovely dump and trace the code there to debug

[crisp coral]

a card with no transform means it's a ghost card????? idk

[steel surge]

hello, i just started modding and im using vs code to make the mod. when i type SMODS, its underlined as red. how do i make it so that it knows steamodded syntax?

[vale glen]

Add the Steamodded folder to your IDE's workspace

[normal crest]

well i think in that case your last parameter is nil which doesn't affect anything

[vale glen]

Then it should recognize those values

[crisp coral]

add Steamodded into the workspace

[normal crest]

cus self would be taking the value of effect here

[manic rune]

a

[normal crest]

as long as you call SMODS.calculate_effect and not SMODS:calculate_effect

using the 2nd one would break a lot of things

[manic rune]

i usually hook like this, so yeah :p

[umbral zodiac]

the specific line is when it tries to create a new card for copy_card but the new card doesnt have a transform it appears

[manic rune]

i

it would? 😭

[normal crest]

yeah cus it'd be the same as doing SMODS.calculate_effect(SMODS, effect, etc...)

which doesn't make sense

[vale glen]

Mkay, then you need to pass in the right values for copy_card. What does the code for the offending mod look like?

[umbral zodiac]

i have absolutely no idea considering the fact that this error is only in common_events line 2561, and disabling all of the major content mods including my own does not fix it

im just gonna disable mods until i find out who's problem it actually is

[sonic cedar]

oh <3
(Also hiiiiii)

[manic rune]

hii

[manic rune]

sob

[vale glen]

Can't really help you trace the code without like, a screenshare or similar. Directing you to the lovely dump would take too long over text.

[manic rune]

im so cooked

[normal crest]

i mean it only affects if you CALL the function like that

which i doubt you've done considering you haven't had any issues

[sonic cedar]

is that calculate_consumable

[manic rune]

the other issue i had with hooking was that i called all the references hookTo

[crisp coral]

what the FUCK

[manic rune]

which surprisingly didnt collapse inward yet

[sonic cedar]

vine boom

[manic rune]

this is smt i did

[sonic cedar]

[manic rune]

:3

[sonic cedar]

let me template this out rq

[umbral zodiac]

fixed it with the old reliable binary search
it was cartomancer being out of date with recent smods changes and i didnt notice because i literally never use deck view

[sonic cedar]

Oh nvm then thanks

[snow vale]

how can i give a newly created card any values?

[viral ember]

is there a way to force a game loss?

[vale glen]

Ah, nicely done then!

[steel surge]

is there a place where i can see all valid C: color modifiers?

[vale glen]

G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER
G.STATE_COMPLETE = false

[sonic cedar]

isn’t there a g.sta—

well whaddya know

[vale glen]

Axy's code also has this

[viral ember]

oh sick

thanks lol

[gray void]

Rickroll

[viral ember]

YOU ARE SO RIGHT

I MUST

[gray void]

i mean
Its stated in the code-

[hybrid shadow]

rickroll

[vale glen]

There should be a globals.lua or something, that stores all the vanilla color modifiers. To see it in game, try inspecting the G.UIT.C table or something? Forgot exactly what it was called.

[sonic cedar]

does the glass card itself trigger a destruction context that I can check for

[vale glen]

This is the full list of stuff the Joker does, although it's based off an incrementing trigger count rather than being entirely random.

[manic rune]

theres a new context for that added by N'

[sonic cedar]

everything’s coming up me

[manic rune]

uh one sec, lemme check what it was

[hybrid shadow]

is checking for certain enhancements v:has_ability? also is glass and lucky cards just m_lucky and m_glass?

[sonic cedar]

(What I- ok)

[vale glen]

There's an SMODS.shatters() function in the utils.lua file that could help.

[sonic cedar]

SMODS.has_enhancement

[sturdy compass]

Real and it’s hella nice

[viral ember]

Pet Joker
eats (deletes) the rightmost joker each round.
if there is no joker it DIES. and you lose

always eternal

[hybrid shadow]

thank you i forgot and needed to double check with someone

[manic rune]

context.glass_trigger

[gray void]

dies

[manic rune]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/713

[sturdy compass]

I don’t think it’s a context, moreso a card attribute

[viral ember]

not sure what to do for the Painted Joker

[sonic cedar]

paint it

[manic rune]

oh

[hybrid shadow]

now for the second half of the question

[viral ember]

It's made with MS paint, hence the name

[snow vale]

the rightmost joker every hand or discard

[viral ember]

💀

I'm evil, not a monster.

[hybrid shadow]

make an overfeeding mechanic like the password game

[viral ember]

HHAHAHAHA

YES

[hybrid shadow]

if theres more than 3 jokers to the right of the cat it also dies

[sonic cedar]

[gray void]

Stacks 4 of itself

[snow vale]

how can i add to this new card created any value?

[sonic cedar]

what

[viral ember]

Ok, every hand it eats the joker to the right and he gets 1 food point, every round he loses 1 food point. if he ever has more than 2 food points he DIES.
if he dies he kills your run

[sonic cedar]

now get to work

[sturdy compass]

Please do not the cat

[snow vale]

like, i wanna do a consumeable that lets you store 1 joker in it (the joker destroys), but when i use the consumeable it gets destroyed so i have to create another one inside the code. How do i make so that newly created consumeable doesn't repeat the same code of use, using a variable or anything?

[hybrid shadow]

would this work as intended (check the scoring hand and see if there's cards that are glass or lucky, iterating one each time a card is glass or lucky)

[sturdy compass]

I keep forgetting no stickers

[sonic cedar]

I had to hold in the laugh

[hybrid shadow]

:sadge:

[snow vale]

[sonic cedar]

cant you just clear/reset the values after you use it

[snow vale]

wdym?

[sonic cedar]

like is the issue that it saves the value of the joker stored despite being another copy

[snow vale]

i mean i want it to save it

[viral ember]

What is it's name?

[sonic cedar]

fat fuck

[hybrid shadow]

LMFAOOOO

the Very Hungry Caterpillar would like to have a word with this joker

[sage crater]

how do you get the number of cards played?
can you do #full_hand or something?

[sonic cedar]

Maybe store the key of the joker in a variable when you use the consumable, and only reset it after using if the consumable’s storage includes a joker

[hybrid shadow]

ive done this before lemme check but you're missing the context in the #

[vale glen]

#context.scoring_hand?

Not sure what played means here

[sage crater]

oh right

[snow vale]

wait does it automatically saves whenever i create the new consumeable?

[viral ember]

9/10th Joker?

💀

[sage crater]

like how square joker checks if you played exactly 4 cards

[snow vale]

go to next page and return

[hybrid shadow]

double checked its #context.full_hand

[vale glen]

You could look at Vanilla Remade in that case, if you know what joker you want to copy

[viral ember]

aw man

[sage crater]

thanks!

[gray void]

Accidentally munched

[sonic cedar]

I don’t know ✨

[sage crater]

oh, true

well it's not at all like square joker, but I'm sure I can glean something from it nonetheless

[vale glen]

This message with your pfp fits so well x)

Mindwave yay

[gray void]

Makes me having an idea of munched joker-

[snow vale]

wait huh

[hybrid shadow]

true, i grabbed a bunch of my easier to understand code from vanillaremade

[snow vale]

i can drag my card anywhere 😭

[vale glen]

Use add_card instead of create_card

[sonic cedar]

bro just started cheating

[hybrid shadow]

bro forgot to set the area

[vale glen]

You could also just recreate the contents of add_card in your code, but that's up to you really

[gray void]

Bro is on creative mode

[vale glen]

Drag it outside the videogame, onto your desktop

[sonic cedar]

im so mad you adhd trapped me with that bio

[sturdy compass]

Mindwave cool

[hybrid shadow]

make it one of those little desktop buddies

[snow vale]

??

[hybrid shadow]

the bubble wrap

[snow vale]

ok i didnt mean that anywhere

[vale glen]

xD

[sonic cedar]

the bubble wrap

[snow vale]

ohhh that's cuz i saw someone with it and i decided to copy it

the thing is that he was a mod of the server

[sonic cedar]

If only I could swipe on my phone without accidentally tapping

[hybrid shadow]

bump

[vale glen]

The actual parameters into the has_enhancement function might be off, but the idea seems sound enough.

[sonic cedar]

might be missing a paean yeah

GDI

paean

[hybrid shadow]

paean

[sonic cedar]

p.a.r.a.m

[hybrid shadow]

what parameters are off there

[sonic cedar]

[hybrid shadow]

KRIDDLE FINGER LMAO

[vale glen]

paean

paellas

[sonic cedar]

youre missing card

[vale glen]

Which would be v in this case

[sonic cedar]

it’s (card, key)

[hybrid shadow]

like this?

[sonic cedar]

yeah

that text wrap is burning my retinas but yeah

[hybrid shadow]

im sorry its on google docs😭

[vale glen]

'm_lucky'

Forgot the closing quotation mark

[hybrid shadow]

thx

[native zinc]

can't you uh

change the font to a monospaced one

[sonic cedar]

or even

zoom out

[hybrid shadow]

IM ON MY PHONE

[vale glen]

Also you could just use FTP to just, download your code file from your computer and work on it on your phone

Then upload it back

[native zinc]

you can change font on phone

[sonic cedar]

YOU CAN ZOOM OUT ON MOBILE VER

[vale glen]

This has "uno comes free on your xbox" vibes

xD

[hybrid shadow]

is everyone this picky abt text or is it just yall three

[sonic cedar]

it does lmfao

[native zinc]

no it's just that you're making it unnecessarily hard for yourself

[vale glen]

Coders tend to be picky about their font choices and all that, since we read a lot xP

[native zinc]

arial ...

plus it's like

three clicks

[sonic cedar]

gulp

[hybrid shadow]

this is the easiest for me (my other option is the steam deck built in keyboard)

[sonic cedar]

It’s actually 0 clicks she’s on her phone

[native zinc]

i know you don't have a ce but google docs still has the ability to make code readable

[hybrid shadow]

do i need to manually color my text too for ease of reading for yall

[sonic cedar]

you would cry

[vale glen]

You can use three backticks, then the word Lua, then paste your code on a new line, then close with three backticks. That'd give color on Discord.

But also there are code editors for your phone

Could just use those

[hybrid shadow]

god this is the fucking worst lecture ive ever had in my life

[vale glen]

xD

[sonic cedar]

[hybrid shadow]

pretty sure, never have i been lectured abt something as nothing as my goddamn text preferences

[vale glen]

Time for the sequel, choice of syntax highlightingggg

holds up rainbow colored brackets

[sonic cedar]

😱

[vale glen]

[hybrid shadow]

would you guys hate me if i said i didnt even use vsc on my steam deck for my lua files

[vale glen]

Eh... anything works, at the end of the day. As long as you can compile your code and have it run on some machine, all's well

[sonic cedar]

do you use a ce

[hybrid shadow]

i use kate

[vale glen]

Anyways, gonna actually do schoolwork now

[sonic cedar]

oh yeah that one (never heard of it)

[sonic cedar]

timezoned

[hybrid shadow]

built in text editor (variant of Kwrite)

[sonic cedar]

oh

[hybrid shadow]

like it came free with my Desktop Mode

it reads code... kind of

i dont get syntax errors or anything and i have to do debugging manually but imo thats probably the least impact using kate has had

[sonic cedar]

YOU HAVE! A CODE EDITOR!

IT CAME FREE WITH YOUR DESKTOP MODE

[hybrid shadow]

like this looks okay enough to use for code

[sage crater]

does this work in lua?

[hybrid shadow]

i yearn to change my kate font as soon as i find out how

[hybrid shadow]

what is any of this

[native zinc]

concat is x..y

[sage crater]

like "+X"... total?

[native zinc]

message = "+X"..total

[sage crater]

some code to run in if context.before then

[sage crater]

fantastic

[viral ember]

is it possible to show the joker's "food" in the description?

like this

[sage crater]

yes, use loc_vars and put #[number]# in your loc_txt for where you want the variable to go

[viral ember]

Ah

Thanks

<3

[sonic cedar]

“Is it possible” shows it being possible /lh

[viral ember]

/lh?

what does that mean

[sage crater]

example (I forgot to replace the second #2# with #3# but you get the idea)

[viral ember]

ohhhh

Sick it worked

thanks!

[sage crater]

lose the run?? damn

[viral ember]

Your cat dies, ofc you go with it

[sage crater]

seppuku after your pet dies? respectable

[hybrid shadow]

oh yeah are you able to do math with card variables inside a loop? (like card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + (card.ability.extra.mult_gain * [whatever the variable is that's added by the loop]))

[sonic cedar]

begging you to stylize but good job!!

[viral ember]

already on it dw

[sonic cedar]

hooray!!!

[hybrid shadow]

or would it reset the card variables every time the loop is run

[viral ember]

anything I should change before working on the functionality?

[sonic cedar]

The wording

[viral ember]

?

[sonic cedar]

When is “Every Round”

[viral ember]

Each Blind?

[sonic cedar]

When

Beginning or end

[viral ember]

Beginning

[sonic cedar]

so specify that 👍

“When Blind is selected”

[viral ember]

World's longest description lol

[sonic cedar]

aikoyori TLDR Joker

[viral ember]

?

[sonic cedar]

go look at the description in that

actually let me just

[sage crater]

I have no mult and I must score

[hardy viper]

what about cg joker smh..

[viral ember]

What the hell is that

[hardy viper]

it mentions jacks 3 times and i missed the 'c' on all of them

[viral ember]

I need to make one of those oh my god

WHAT IF I MAKE MINE ACTUALLY FUNCTION

YOU HAVE TO READ THROUGH IT LIKE 8 TIMES PER ROUND JUST FOR THE MULT

HAHAHA

NO EXPLANATION BOXES. NO HELP. PURE SUFFERING.

[tall wharf]

that's one of mine

[viral ember]

I assumed from the name

[hardy viper]

its too lnog you cant see the mod badge youre missing out on free clout

[tall wharf]

it's still like that

[viral ember]

THERE'S JUST SOME CHINESE CHARACTERS FOR NO REASON HAHAHAHA

[hardy viper]

i mean now it doesnt fit on the screen does it

[hardy viper]

do these mean anything btw? i would imagine tehyd be like seeds or smth but then theyd be longer

[hardy viper]

ah

thanks google youre very helpful

[viral ember]

I need to not look at that so my mind isn't tainted

I need fresh ideas

not ones someone else made

[tall wharf]

you'll have to accept the fact that you can't be 100% original

[viral ember]

well yea

but 90% is good enough

[hardy viper]

have a random number generator give you a number 0-100 and thats how original youre gonna be

[viral ember]

lol

[tall wharf]

why limit yourselves

[hardy viper]

true -100 to 200

[tall wharf]

also

some of the jokers have different ability

[sonic cedar]

maybe something like this (minus the counter) idk what do you think

[sonic cedar]

decreses

[viral ember]

Le yoink(™️)

[sonic cedar]

oh hold on ill just

"Consumes the Joker to the right of this card when a hand is played, gains +1 Food for each Joker consumed. When Blind is selected, eats 1 Food. You lose the run if it runs out of food."

[viral ember]

AWWW

I was going to make a chicken jockey one

dang it

[sonic cedar]

do it anyway

[viral ember]

fine

hehe

[sonic cedar]

silly

might wanna fix your attentions though

they're called that for a reason

[viral ember]

this is a shitpost mod

respectfully, I'll work on the function first, then the form will come

[sonic cedar]

kk

just putting it out there

as for me it’s 3 am I need sleep

[viral ember]

lol

gn

thanks for the help :p

not sure why this is giving an error

[sonic cedar]

np ✨

[sonic cedar]

Uhhh

[daring fern]

Did you define food in your localization?

[viral ember]

uh

how do I do that...? 😅

[daring fern]

What do you want the message to say?

[viral ember]

Chomped! or smthn

[daring fern]

Then you would just do message = "Chomped!"

[hushed field]

I think you overestimate how popular it is 😋

[viral ember]

oh, Thanks!

[last sentinel]

If i wanted to have a deck that made specific vanilla Tarot cards more common, what would need to be in the lovely patch? would it just be:

_pool_size = _pool_size + 1```

in payload?

i'm pretty novice at patches

[sage crater]

is there a way to have a planet card level up a hand type by less than one level?
I'm trying to add a voucher that adds +50% planet card effectiveness

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sage crater]

neat!

[last sentinel]

well.. i did... something...

[viral ember]

I don't think those are vouchers btw

[last sentinel]

oh shoot good catch thanks

dare i open the buffoon pack

i think i know whats gonna be in there

oh nvm it was jokers

the celestial pack however

[gray void]

And its all "joker" jokers

[last sentinel]

okay well the first part successfully adds my modded jokers to the joker pool 4x more often, but the second adds justice and tower in every other pool i guess?

[viral ember]

"TOWER"

• Everything

[sage crater]

trying to create hermit 2.0 is crashing my game. Any ways to fix it?

[viral ember]

SMODS.Consumable

[sage crater]

oh, it's spelled correctly?

[viral ember]

not SMODS.consumeable

[sage crater]

someone told me it was spelled consumeable lol

[red flower]

not in that case

[viral ember]

maybe where they live

[red flower]

it's spelled that way everywhere else

[viral ember]

What should I do for this joker?

I had an idea but it didn't really work

[last sentinel]

it should make it so that Tower and Justice show up as vouchers i can show you how

[sage crater]

it's still crashing 😔

[daring fern]

Tarot not tarot

[sage crater]

cheers

[viral ember]

Had a Joker idea

Math!

If you solve a random equation (result will be 1-5) and play that many cards, You get a X10 Mult

[sage crater]

how do I change the text for a new consumable type?

[viral ember]

Show the registering

[gray void]

Maybe "randomly switch the suit of every card you played"

[viral ember]

...

You do know, right?

[gray void]

I do not

Head empty

[viral ember]

that's what it used to do but it was pointless

[sage crater]

oh nvm I'm silly. It's just a loc_txt

[viral ember]

what's the point of cards switching suits if when they come back they're switched again anyways

[gray void]

How about, "cards drawn from deck are from the bottom instead of top while having the joker"

[sage crater]

fixed lol

[gray void]

Because
Paint

[viral ember]

What would that do tho

if anything that ruins combos

there are some cards that see the top card of the deck

now you can't grab it :<

[gray void]

Well its just an idea

but for cases like that, to troll

[viral ember]

well, all the others do that too so

one joker I added gives all played card a custom seal called "useless" which debuffs the card

[gray void]

So its eternally debuffed unless the seal is replaced?

[viral ember]

and the other...

[gray void]

Feels like a challenge run joker

[viral ember]

lol

I should do that actually

most of these cards are challenge jokers lol

[gray void]

Painted joker
"1 in 2 chance to retrigger each joker card except this or its copies"?

[viral ember]

ooh

retriggers ALL Jokers except Painted Jokers

how devious

[gray void]

Might be broken if just ALL

But yes

[viral ember]

this isn't supposed to be a "balanced mod"

this is a sh*t post

[gray void]

Then be my guest

[viral ember]

I mean, look at this thing

[gray void]

I made a joker to double its mult up to 1 trillion anyway

[viral ember]

does this scream "balanced"?

[gray void]

You forgot to give the limit

[viral ember]

... what limit...?

[gray void]

set the limit randomly each game start-

[viral ember]

what limit tho

[gray void]

The food limit ofc

[viral ember]

oh

it's secret

just like a real pet, you don't know how hungy they are

[gray void]

No i mean, set the limit to random-

[viral ember]

hm

maybe

[gray void]

Since if food < 1 or food > n is a losing
Then put n as randomized number
Just to make it interesting-

and maybe, 1 in x chance to consume 2 food-

[viral ember]

I was thinking about that

[sage crater]

atm this consumable basically just copies deja vu, but it's crashing my game. Thoughts?

[signal rose]

whats the crash message for

[sage crater]

idk, it doesn't specify anything in the consumable.lua file, so I don't know what line it's having issues with

[daring fern]

Did you define Chineze_Zodiac?

[sage crater]

ah, I fucking spelled it wrong in the card instantiation🤦‍♂️

[viral ember]

nice

[signal rose]

Trying to get the cards that appear on the startup screen to have a different back from red deck, changing G.GAME.selected_back has just done nothing, is there anywhere else that it would pull the card back from?
card.back is just "selected_back" which is whats confusing me on why changing G.GAME.selected_back does nothing

mainly just checking that im not being an absolute idiot and changing the wrong thing or if theres some other place it checks for the back

[red flower]

something like this?
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/4513d7a50361889f843ac1dc9796e1b5b8b5883c/src/card_ui.lua#L502

although it would probably be a pain to change all of them

[signal rose]

i mean the way its making the card is this function repeated 200 times so honestly i could just input that

                args = args or {}
                local angle = math.random()*2*3.14
                local card_size = (args.scale or 1.5)*(math.random() + 1)
                local card_pos = args.card_pos or {
                    x = (18 + card_size)*math.sin(angle),
                    y = (18 + card_size)*math.cos(angle)
                }
                local card = Card(  card_pos.x + G.ROOM.T.w/2 - G.CARD_W*card_size/2,
                                    card_pos.y + G.ROOM.T.h/2 - G.CARD_H*card_size/2,
                                    card_size*G.CARD_W, card_size*G.CARD_H, pseudorandom_element(G.P_CARDS), G.P_CENTERS.c_base)
                if math.random() > 0.8 then card.sprite_facing = 'back'; card.facing = 'back' end
                card.no_shadow = true
                card.states.hover.can = false
                card.states.drag.can = false
                card.vortex = true and not args.no_vortex
                card.T.r = angle
                return card, card_pos
            end```

okay even if i put card.back = Back(G.P_CENTERS.b_green) into the code the back still shows as red

[red flower]

when it creates the card you can add {bypass_back = {x=0,y=0}} to change the position in the atlas

as the last argument

[signal rose]

what just instead of card.back = ... just put in {bypass_back = {x=0,y=0}}?

oh wait you mean as in local card = Card()

[red flower]

yes

[signal rose]

just woke up so took a second to process lol

[pale holly]

        if card.area and card.area == G.jokers then
            local other_joker
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i] == card and G.jokers.cards[i + 1] then
                    other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i + 1]
                end
            end
        end
            return { vars = { (G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1), card.ability.extra.odds } }
    end,
--gotta re-add the function of before
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local other_joker
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if G.jokers.cards[i] == card and G.jokers.cards[i + 1] then
                other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i + 1]
            end
        end
        

    if other_joker then
        return SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context)
    end

    if other_joker and  pseudorandom('cymbal_dprinter') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds  then
        local blue1 = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context)
        local blue2 = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context)
        
        -- Combine both effects if they return tables
        return {
            blue1,
            blue2
        }
    end
end
}```    

So i want my code to act like a normal blue print but with a 1/3 chance to retriger twice more but it only half works, for now it only act like a regular blueprint, i tried to use a local effect but it doesn't work, should i replace the local with something else ?
Also should use the prefix of my mod for 'pseudorandom' ? i used with and without but both does nothing so i assume the problem is more about trying to trigger it twice

[signal rose]

thank you so much, thats a lifesaver, it works

[red flower]

the seed in pseudorandom doesn't matter as long as it's unique (but even if it isn't it will work)

the problem is that when you return from a function the function ends so it's impossible to reach the second return

and even if it did the second return is formatted wrong

[pale holly]

Oh i see, so i should probably instead fuse both ways as a elseif then ?
like, if the 1/3 chance hit it'll trigger 3 times, otherwise only triger it once like a normal blueprint

[red flower]

yeah

[pale holly]

Also for the second return being formatted wrong, because of the double usage of the Smods blueprint or something ?

[red flower]

because returning a table of tables does nothing

you need to merge them together using something like this
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/736/files

[pale holly]

ah i see, i should then move out the local blue i made after the calculate to avoid that issue

i think i get it now, thanks,, and for the link too

[red flower]

keep in mind that is not merged into smods so you would need to copy the function as well

[pale holly]

Ah okay, gotta add this entire code as well, sure i'll think of this, thanks !

Joker idea

All or nothing
Hands are set to 1 but you get + 5 hand size

1 in 10 chance to "win big" and get $3

[gray void]

or just mirror the burglar-

[coral flume]

Guys Im having some trouble with this joker being copied by blueprint specifically

it retriggers each card a number of times equal to its spot in the hand, first card retriggers once, second card retriggers twice etc

Brainstorm does this exact thing when copying it

but Blueprint goes first, doesnt increment the repetitions tally so falls behind by 1 trigger. First card none,second card once, thrid card twice

[daring fern]

What if instead of counting manually you just loop over the hand and get the position?

[coral flume]

I didnt know that was possible

[last sentinel]

is there a reason that this method of copying a played card doesn't trigger hologram?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[last sentinel]

or i suppose, is there a better method i should use that would trigger it

[daring fern]

playing_card_joker_effects({c1})?

[last sentinel]

fascinating, thanks!

[daring fern]

Because if you play a pair with an unscoring card in the middle, the 3rd one will only retrigger twice.

[coral flume]

That was kinda the original intention. I think I was gonna change it to each card retriggers per each card scored before it. So i'd just start the value at -1 but Id still have the blueprint issue

[daring fern]

Then the way I said would be way more complicated.

[coral flume]

all good

any idea on how to make blueprint behave

[daring fern]

My method.

You would just iterate over context.scoring_hand instead.

[coral flume]

oh sick

[molten musk]

spectral not showing in my mod

i copied my seals code and changed stuff to show spectral but not working

the seals code work

found the issue

solved

[coral flume]

As in replace cardarea = g.play or a for loop over the scoring hand to assign each card a # of retriggers

[daring fern]

No, it would be something like: ```lua
if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
for i=1, #context.scoring_hand do
if context.scoring_hand[i] == context.other_card then
return {repetitions = i}
end
end
end

[coral flume]

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY IT WORKs

thank you

amen

pogchamp

many thanks

This is a normal way to show appreciation

[spice wadi]

It's the same as yours, it calls a context
Although you'll need to change the code a bit as mine is set up for when probabilities fail
If you're gonna use it you should probably try and learn how each bit works so you can safely modify it

[molten musk]

any booster pack example i can see?

[viral ember]

I added something :D

[thorn furnace]

Is card:set_edition() supposed to work when the card already has an edition? It doesn't seem to be working

[daring fern]

Yes.

[thorn furnace]

I see

[last sentinel]

any ideas for making this not completely broken for econ?

[viral ember]

X2 Blind Size?

What does that do?

[last sentinel]

like required chips to defeat the blind

maybe thats improper wording

[viral ember]

oh

[thorn furnace]

i dont think its too bad
most of your income comes from interest or gold jokers anyway

[gray void]

Maybe if handsize <10?

[last sentinel]

yeah or maybe just a flat addition? kinda just a clone of burglar then

[gray void]

If handsize <6, double it
Else +5?

[last sentinel]

Also weirdly enough, when i have both burglar and that joker, mine always triggers before burglar regardless of joker order. Is that just how context.setting_blind works or am i missing something

just cause i think intuitively, the player would put burglar first to get +3 and then have the x2 hit, but it just doesn't happen like that

[gray void]

Sorry i meant
If handsize < 6, double the hand
Else, just plus 5 hand

[red flower]

probably event timing

[molten musk]

so i wanna add booster packs, is it the same as seals and spectrals?

[red flower]

it is the same as in you need to use SMODS.Booster but the functions are different

[molten musk]

function u mean the code for booster like how they work, or u mean the code for adding them?

[red flower]

for how they work

i mean that they don't have use or calculate and stuff

[molten musk]

i'll worry about functionality later, for now how to add them in game
so this is spectral code
change consume type to booster?
and also consumable to booster too?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/4513d7a50361889f843ac1dc9796e1b5b8b5883c/src/others/Boosters.lua#L9

[viral ember]

How would I apply a shader to a joker?

[red flower]

also if you spectrals are just regular spectrals you don't need the ConsumableType bit, that's just adding a new type of consumable also called spectral

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/1ef3fa9be831bd31a321133f11a2604ea65c6ba0/src/jokers.lua#L4321

[last sentinel]

see NOW its wordy enough to be a true modded joker

much better

[molten musk]

i'll see if it works without it

yep, it worked

now gonna try doing the booster code

[daring fern]

What if you used Mr. Bones last round?

[last sentinel]

you simply must score bones

good catch though I absolutely would've overlooked that

[gray void]

Or jokers that removes/destroys itself/others when its triggered-

[last sentinel]

maybe just "blind score or previous score whichever is greater" and then treat a bones score like a 0

[gray void]

Nvm me that my head empty

[red flower]

what's the code

looks correct to me

did you restart the run before testing?

it doesn't do anything?

hmm did you try hard coding a 1 instead of using card.ability.extta

[molten musk]

whats kind?

[red flower]

like "Arcana" or "Buffoon"

yes

[molten musk]

i see, so whatever i put wont change much

[red flower]

it's more like a key for your booster type

it's weird tho

[molten musk]

i see

[red flower]

can i see the full joker definition

my guess is that config is not getting read
