unless the full context.post_trigger needs to be written out in the optional features thing then this should be working

but it isnt

[red flower]

how does the optional features table look

[red flower]

hmm let me try it out myself

yeah i was wrong, it's context.other_ret.jokers.chips etc

you would probably also need to check if other_ret.jokers exists

[spice wadi]

how would i theoretically synchronise the message with the destruction here https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/704415405812482077/1380301086266753104/safe_calculate.gif?ex=6843610f&is=68420f8f&hm=aadb93b3ad44c1b85ecd56fcee18b5d99837b0f82bd87b1d940ccc95141338b4&

i tried moving the removal part to the calculate effect but got no difference

[red flower]

put the start_dissolve in an event?

[wheat jewel]

Does anyone know if you can make multiple pages for a mod config tab?

[hybrid shadow]

works now, two small issues though

1. it counts itself
2. the message shows up on the joker that was triggered

[spice wadi]

I forgot events existed
I stopped working on the project for like 3 days and forget everything

Thank you

[red flower]

I don't think so but you can add other tabs that are not part of the config but have the same functionality with SMODS.current_mod.extra_tabs

[wheat jewel]

Ohhhh ok

[daring fern]

message_card = card?

[red flower]

1. check for context.other_card ~= card
2. in the return add message_card = card

[spice wadi]

Also just to make sure this is still a decent idea, it's gonna do this if there's an error and have a pop-up either before or after saying there's been an error with it and a button to copy the full error log thing
Like is that a good way of handling things

[hybrid shadow]

works as intended now, thank you

[spice wadi]

Asking cos I'm gonna have to learn a lot more stuff for this so I really don't want to waste time and I trust the judgement of people here

[faint yacht]

.extra_tabs

[red flower]

im not the intended audience for this so i cant really give you my opinion haha

[spice wadi]

That's fair actually

I kinda want it to be useful for all devs

[rugged pier]

if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
            local flag = true
            for _, v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
                if not SMODS.has_enhancement(v, "m_stone") then
                    flag = false
                end
            end
            if flag then
                card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_mod
                return {
                    message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                    colour = G.C.MULT
                }
            end
        end

why is my mult not increasing here? im trying to increase it if all played cards are stone cards

[spice wadi]

Especially during early playtesting

[rugged pier]

wait

its because context.before doesnt work with any other contexts right?

[red flower]

well as a dev, I want the game to crash when something goes wrong
and as a player I play with one mod at a time so I don't get many crashes

[spice wadi]

That makes sense

I'll still provide the full error

[red flower]

is this a joker?

[spice wadi]

With a copy button

[rugged pier]

yes

[red flower]

remove the cardarea check

[rugged pier]

bet ty

[spice wadi]

And even as a player, there might be some conflicts or random problems I haven't thought of
If that's the case, I want the game to still be fully playable, no disruption

[red flower]

well, people are more likely to not report problems if the game doesn't crash and personally I don't want people to play with side effects due to the game continuing when it shouldn't

but I don't think the idea is bad, I'm just not the audience for it

[spice wadi]

Out of interest, what side effects could occur from smth like this happening

I'm guessing it breaking at being removed like that could mess with the remove from deck stuff

[red flower]

for example yeah

[wise turtle]

does anyone know where i can find some docs about adding custom starting decks. I've been trying to reuse ones from other peoples mods but I cant get it to work

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Back

i also recommend this: https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/backs.lua

[spice wadi]

Alright I'll look into that ty

[wise turtle]

is it possible to start with a specific modded joker in your deck

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wise turtle]

howmst if I may ask

[daring fern]

Is this for a deck?

[wise turtle]

yeah

[daring fern]

Put jokers = {"j_modprefix_key"} in the config.

[wild escarp]

How would I go about making a challenge start with one random card? I can't figure this stuff out.

[vale glen]

If you figure this out, please let Axy know too. Stuck on the same problem.

[hybrid shadow]

what's the proper loop argument for the scoring hand? (as in like for k, v in ipairs/pairs(etc) do)

[vale glen]

Instead of etc use context.scoring_hand, in contexts where it exists like context.before or similar

[hybrid shadow]

i used context.scoring_hand but both ipairs and pairs seems to return nil for it

[vale glen]

pairs checks the cards in no particular order, while ipairs goes through it in order. The former is faster than the latter.

[vale glen]

What context are you checking it in?

[wheat jewel]

I did this but it crashed my game

[hybrid shadow]

its a loop

[red flower]

whats the code

[red flower]

it works differently, see: https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/4513d7a50361889f843ac1dc9796e1b5b8b5883c/src/mod_info.lua#L100

[vale glen]

What if statement is the for loop in?

[vale glen]

Zoom out, we need to see the entire calculate function or whatever you're storing this code in

[wheat jewel]

Oh i see

[hybrid shadow]

that shouldnt be important for local iirc

[sturdy compass]

I did figure it out. Your object.states.collide.can needs to be true

[vale glen]

It needs to collide with the controller object? Omgggg

[sturdy compass]

Yep lol

[vale glen]

Thanks, will try that later

If that's all Axy needed for it to notice hovering

Augh

[red flower]

the problem is that you need another context check, do you have one earlier?

[hybrid shadow]

heres the other version of the card

[hybrid shadow]

i have had cards with 0 context check for local to work

[hybrid shadow]

and local still worked in those

[red flower]

context.scoring_hand doesn't exist in every context

thats the problem

[hybrid shadow]

which brings me back to the earlier question #💻・modding-dev message

[vale glen]

Would prolly put it in context.before, but not at PC to rewrite the code...

Too eepy

[red flower]

that's a different question tho

[hybrid shadow]

is there an answer to it?

[red flower]

yes, what Axy said

a more correct answer would have been that it depends on the timing you want

[hybrid shadow]

there's nothing like G.scoring.cards?

[red flower]

no

[proud depot]

yeah i meant how do i make a custom key_append? should have clarified

[hybrid shadow]

why is there G.play.cards but not G.scoring.cards

[red flower]

key_append is for the random seed, you just pass a string to it

what are you trying to do?

[red flower]

because 1) G.play is an area cards go in, 2) the scoring hand is obtained with a function on those cards (which you definitely don't need)

[hybrid shadow]

so i just have to shove my entire loop into an if statement?

[red flower]

yes, like if context.before

[proud depot]

generate a spectral card, how do i format the string? I looked at how they were generated in the base games code (Specifically for sixth sense) and it passed in 'sixth' for the key_append slot, but i'd like to make it different from that joker. I'm not sure how seed formatting works so how would i format it?

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card{set = "Spectral"}

[proud depot]

OH

ok thx

[red flower]

also it's better to check this https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/0930fcef73e437ee4192ebb1ee12431399654129/src/jokers.lua#L1401

[vital seal]

I'm currently trying to play a sound but as soon as I use "play_sound" it crashes with this message. Is there anyone who knows why?

[red flower]

do you have "assets/sounds/Rawr.ogg"?

[hard mica]

im trying to make an ante boss where if the player wins the ante with or less than 2 hands they gain 50$ otherwise they get their money set to $0 but not sure how i can start?

[hybrid shadow]

now this kind of works but it doesnt iterate higher than 1 at a time

[vital seal]

my folder looks looks like this. I have also tried moving the sounds folder into the assets folder to see if that helped

[red flower]

because you're returning in the for loop

that ends the function

[hybrid shadow]

so move it between the ends?

[red flower]

it needs to be in assets

[hard mica]

should i do it in caluclate? if so , how can i get the number of played hands?

[red flower]

well the problem there is that it will always say upgrade, you need a flag of some sorts

[red flower]

G.GAME.current_round.hands_played

[hybrid shadow]

thats what the if is for

[hard mica]

Thank you

And do I do it in calculato?

[red flower]

oh yeah i didnt see that it only upgraded when there was at least one

[vital seal]

It just shows the the same error message. Ive tried also making a "resources" folder

[red flower]

idk

[sleek siren]

Is there a way that I could call a calculate function from another joker that isn't in the joker slot area?

I'm trying to make a joker learn different joker abilities

[hybrid shadow]

works now thx

[red flower]

what's your sound definition

[vital seal]

Im sorry im not so strong within coding. What is a sound definition?

[red flower]

like the SMODS.Sound stuff

[hard mica]

looking through the docs and doesnt seem like SMODS.Blinds have an calculate func

[red flower]

they do

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

[vital seal]

I've written
"function on_load()
SMODS.Sound:new("Rawr", "sounds/Rawr.ogg")
end"

[red flower]

oh ok that seems to be old syntax

try

SMODS.Sound{ key = "Rawr", path = "Rawr.ogg" }

and put it in assets/sounds

[vital seal]

Still "on load"?

[red flower]

no

[hard mica]

i tried this but it doesnt seem to work at all ngl

[red flower]

try without the main eval

but the blind might be defeated by then

[wise turtle]

just got my deck to work properly. I've never used Lua before and I've kind of been freestyling everything so thanks for the help

[vital seal]

it still crashes. it keeps complaining about missing file in resources/sounds/rawr.ogg

[red flower]

can i see the file structure

[faint yacht]

What of the modprefix? Are you supplying that as part of string?

[hard mica]

that might be a little too much ngl

[hallow forge]

yeah, too many hands

[vital seal]

like this?

[red flower]

try not context.individual and not context.repetition

[red flower]

hmm idk then maybe it's what Ali said

[vital seal]

what?

[faint yacht]

What's your modprefix?

[vital seal]

what is a modprefix?

[faint yacht]

It is added to "items" as part of a string to reference them by.

[hard mica]

that worked thank you

[faint yacht]

Vanilla would have j_joker, but a mod would have j_mod1_joker.

[vital seal]

where can i see that?

[faint yacht]

If you do not have one defined in your .json or header, 4 first symbols of your mod ID are used instead.

Show us your main "file" where you define the name of mod and what not.

[vital seal]

Like this?

[faint yacht]

xmpl is set as the prefix, which is not ideal. Change it to any 4 letter/number string, and that's your mod prefix.

[red flower]

also did you try the original path i gave you or did you change it before testing

[faint yacht]

Like jkas, then the sound string would become "jkas_Rawr"... and you can pass sound = "jkas_Rawr" in your return table too.

[vital seal]

Wait so i change the prefix to this?

[faint yacht]

Yeah, that will work.

[vital seal]

And do i then change anything else? Like changing the file/directory/path?

[split dagger]

anybody know why this triggers twice at the end of the round?

[red flower]

add and context.main_eval

[upper onyx]

is there a specific way you are supposed to implement localization files? i have a localization/default.lua file, with everything in it named correctly, and from everything i have seen, that should be enough, but none of the text is showing up

[faint yacht]

Are you accounting for the modprefix in the full key too?

[red flower]

(the reason is that individual and repetition also trigger at that timing)

[upper onyx]

yes

everything is named j_[modprefix]_[jokerkey]

[split dagger]

it doesnt trigger at all now

[red flower]

what is this? a joker?

oh also please use pseudorandom("any string", -10, 10) instead to account for the seed

[split dagger]

a seal, i should have specified

[red flower]

oh then try this instead #💻・modding-dev message

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know what uibox function is used for the chips/mult ui?

[hybrid shadow]

some jokers in action

[upper onyx]

fixed it, prefix was in a different case in the json file

[wise turtle]

how do you start with multiple jokers in a custom deck

using the config = { jokers =

[split dagger]

goes twice again now

[red flower]

uhh can you try printing context ?

[red flower]

it's defined in function create_UIBox_HUD()

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[umbral zodiac]

ty

[wise turtle]

I did a minor spelling mistake

but thanks

[split dagger]

both times

ohh i see

[red flower]

oh yeah i forgot about playing_card_end_of_round lol

[north swallow]

yall how do i make an image appear with love.graphics.draw and then remove it after 2 seconds or so?

[coarse plank]

First time modding, unsure how to get past my first of many road blocks, this error message. My script is trying to make just a joker without functionality.

[north swallow]

add .png at the end of burndownthehouse

also py = 96 not 95

[coarse plank]

Still get the same error message, but thank you for the help.

[north swallow]

ok uh

are you sure you have a png called "BurnDownTheHouse" in your assets folder

and do you have a 1x and a 2x folder

and you also forgot to add atlas = Jokers in SMODS.Joker

[hybrid shadow]

why 96

[coarse plank]

that worked thank you so much!

[north swallow]

sorry i have a bad memory i forgot

[autumn vortex]

I think I installed Yahimod wrong.

[wild escarp]

Can anyone help me with making a challenge start with one random card? I've never made a challenge before.

[autumn vortex]

actually wait I prolly shoulda just posted that in a text file

bam

[north swallow]

im pretty sure thats for #⚙・modding-general

[umbral zodiac]

well... something feels off!

it's just chips now

[north swallow]

the ominous and everpowerful chips

[autumn vortex]

Just got told in there that it'd go here 😭

[north swallow]

damn

[autumn vortex]

and then someone else told me it goes to just base modding chat 😭

[native zinc]

oh tech support for modd

not modding

yeah that's in modding chat mb

[autumn vortex]

yeah no all good

[native zinc]

you're not coding anything

[autumn vortex]

Somewhat confusing channels tbh

[wild escarp]

bump

[split dagger]

Could i somehow make a seal that just made a card do literally nothing

[native zinc]

i think that's what a debuff does

look at the debuff code

[vale glen]

What if it was a super debuff

[native zinc]

super duper debuff

[vale glen]

Remove it from the card area and just have it hover menacingly above the playing cards

Always debuffed too

Then it does extra nothing, not even go in and out of decks or be able to be sold, or be interacted with

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know if there's a way to refresh the ui? setting G.HUD.definition again doesnt seem to change anything

(i am trying to remove mult ui under certain circumstances)

[vale glen]

Dunno if there's a recalculate function for that

Vaguely remember one for UI, dunno if it applies here

[red flower]

i think it's literally G.HUD:recalculate()

or something like that

[umbral zodiac]

oh lmao

[vale glen]

Ty for the amazing memory

[red flower]

im here everyday so i see a lot of code ive never used :3

[gaunt phoenix]

I'm trying to make a joker who gain 10 chips each time a stone card is scored. I can't figure out why, but it gain chips on EACH card scored, whatever the enhancement.. Does someone know why/Have an idea ?

[umbral zodiac]

dumb question but how do you convert a bignum back to a normal number

i accidentally disabled moving up antes because of something i do in bignum which needs to be a normal number

[native zinc]

i think that's a bad idea

[umbral zodiac]

it will reasonably never go beyond e9

[wild escarp]

bump

[native zinc]

oh antes? i mean you can just remove the to_big() right

[red flower]

to_number(value)

[umbral zodiac]

unless the player scores a number too large for 10000-ation

[umbral zodiac]

ty

[native zinc]

N' best balatro coder in the equator

[red flower]

aww

[umbral zodiac]

proven fact

[vale glen]

You have a return statement in both your for loop and in joker main. Instead, increment a counter in your card.ability.extra table in the for loop, do calculations with it in joker main, then reset the counter in context after. It's a bit cleaner that way.

[pure salmon]

use context.individual for effects that activate when you score individual cards

[gaunt phoenix]

something like that ?

[vale glen]

Ah, haven't used context individual before

That sounds even better

[gaunt phoenix]

So I should use something else ?

[umbral zodiac]

the function does exist, but it doesn't seem to accurately change the ui to what it should be, any idea why?

[vale glen]

Does other_card exist in that context?

[umbral zodiac]

this is literally all im doing, and it was working fine when i had it rely on if true then instead of if G.GAME.nomult then to do the ui changes

[vale glen]

Could use that instead of a for loop then

[red flower]

im not sure sorry, i would check a mod that does that like grim or paya's

[umbral zodiac]

alright

[stone nymph]

i'm having trouble with this joker i'm making. It makes the highest rank scoring card lucky and the lowest rank scoring card get the rank of the highest one. However, it won't do the last part when all the variables work nicely

[red flower]

change_base doesn't take IDs

use context.other_cars.base.value for the highest card

[native zinc]

it takes names of the rank

[stone nymph]

makes sense, let me try

[chrome widget]

This took a surprising amount of effort due to weirdness with sprite sizing

bigass sword

[gaunt phoenix]

Did some testing :

• if no stone card are in hand, doesn't scale
• if a stone card is in hand, scale once per scored card (repetitions included), whatever enhancement is on it

[stone nymph]

after a bit of code adjusting, it works as intended. Thanks!

[coarse plank]

I have 2 questions, how do I specify full house flush house included, and just full house. Also how do I destroy played cards?

[red flower]

that looks so cool

[chrome widget]

Anywhere the vanilla game uses the wording "contains [hand]", you use next(context.poker_hands[hand key])

[red flower]

for the destroying part use context.destroy_card

[coarse plank]

thank you guys!

[chrome widget]

Nods nods!!!

And for the record I HATE sweet potatoes. Grrrrrrr

Bark bark

[vale glen]

puts a sweet potato on the sword

[chrome widget]

Whoa now let's negotiate

[vale glen]

It is defeated in battle

[native zinc]

puts a yam on my saber

[chrome widget]

That sounds like an innuendo somehow

[native zinc]

i wish but i don't actually own a saber

[chrome widget]

Who up yammin they saber

Anyway

[native zinc]

wink .

anywya

are yams even sweet potatoes

[vale glen]

Hm... Wondering if the sword could be a separate sprite object, connect it to the parent object with a minor role, then have it float behind the card as it moves

Or do other things like do a spin if the delta between the VT and T table is large

[chrome widget]

The issue with that is the vertex shader all cards have by default

There are a number of possible solutions to it, but by default, the greater the distance an object is from the origin relative to the parent, the more distorted it becomes

[vale glen]

Mmh, multiplying by the normal of the vector should standardize it, no?

Dunno what math functions love has

[chrome widget]

I will admit I don't know enough about vertex math to do it off the top of my head, and the documentation for the vertex position function sucks

I just added a modifier to the scale value that it results in based on the relative size of the floating layer, which is 237px

My results isnt exact (it appears just a tad higher and to the right??? Maybe???) and it probably has to do with the transformation matrix, but again, shitty at math

[vale glen]

Seems like there's a vector graphics library for Love, but never used it so dunno if it's good

[cinder cliff]

Is there a way to change the automatically generated message that is made by returning mult?

[red flower]

mult_message = "whatever"

[cinder cliff]

I'll try that

[gaunt phoenix]

So I guess my function SMODS.has_enhancement has a problem ? If someone know which one, would be nice ;;

[cinder cliff]

didn't work, the square was blank and become yellow for some reason

[red flower]

can i see the code

[cinder cliff]

k

[red flower]

also what smods version

[cinder cliff]

lemme find the version

[red flower]

you don't need to loop through the hand in context.individual, it already does that

[gaunt phoenix]

oh really ?

So I should just remove the for loop ?

[cinder cliff]

1.0.0-0509c

[red flower]

yes, check context.other_card instead of v

[red flower]

uhh can you try updating
if that doesn't work try remove_default_message = true and add a message

[cinder cliff]

The version is pretty new, I installed it less than a month ago

But i'll try removing default message

[red flower]

smods changes and fixes stuff practically every day

[cinder cliff]

ah

[gaunt phoenix]

it worked tysm ;;

[cinder cliff]

The description and stuff also doesn't show up for some reason

not because of removing default message

[vale glen]

What does your code look like now? Just wanna make sure, so it's efficient and all that

[cinder cliff]

it was just like that

[red flower]

loc_txt

[cinder cliff]

I did that

[red flower]

nope read it again

[vale glen]

innactive

[red flower]

loc_txt

instead of loc_text

[cinder cliff]

I see

thank you, loc_text made more sense in my brain

[vale glen]

Mmh, that looks great!

[red flower]

yeah it's a common mistake

[gaunt phoenix]

thanks to your help ✨ (and of N')

Optimisation is.. not my strength ;;

[vale glen]

Axy has no talents either, is okay

[red flower]

dont say that it's not true

[vale glen]

looks at you in ranked 332 out of ~350 students back in high school

Axy participated in a math competition once, and managed to get a negative score and brought down the team

[red flower]

damn

[vale glen]

Of course, the school Axy went to was special, but

Stillllll

[glass scaffold]

remember, you aren't doing it wrong if no one knows what you're doing

[manic rune]

im impressed somehow

[vale glen]

As in, the top 10 students from each grade would have recruiters from across the nation show up during class to try and get them to join the university, or hire them after they graduated

The opposite of applying to colleges

They all went to Ivy League schools eventually tho, pretty sure everyone in the top 30 did

[sturdy compass]

goddamn

[manic rune]

but honestly, ranking in school doesnt determine much (doesnt mean studying doesnt matter btw)

i used to rank very low in my class once :3

[vale glen]

shrugs Hard work can catch up to talent, but both certainly helps

So what N does is good, showing up daily and reading what everyone does

Talent isn't necessary to make cool things

[manic rune]

thats true

[chrome widget]

I graduated salutatorian of my high school class, got a 4.0 GPA in college, and now it feels like I get dumber by the day. Ymmv

[gaunt phoenix]

N maybe does good, that doesn't mean you're doing bad

[umbral zodiac]

FINALLY

[manic rune]

i think it wouldnt be wise to compare yourself with people like eremel or N', compare urself with your past self instead to see your improvements :p

[red flower]

are you trying to say i dont make cool things

you should try JoyousSpring

[manic rune]

play joyousspring btw

[vale glen]

Anyways time for food

[gaunt phoenix]

(isn't wise to compare with anybody in reality)

[red flower]

i love chips

[gaunt phoenix]

got a new problem (more aesthetic this time)

When I score a stone card, I would like a message on my joker like "Upgraded !", and rn this message is on the stone card itself ;; (I tried put self too)

[red flower]

message_card

[gaunt phoenix]

I was so close ;;

Thanks !

N' my savior (again) ✨

Anyway, It's 3 am in my home, I should go to sleep maybe

[chrome widget]

How goes in the "fixing the entire video game" mines N'

[umbral zodiac]

how does one force mult to always be 1
i tried just hooking game:update and putting it in there but mult still applies

[gaunt phoenix]

have a good day/night everyone

[red flower]

nobody gave me ideas for PRs so i ran out

[cinder cliff]

me after forgetting context.joker_main:

[umbral zodiac]

plus fifty mult

[umbral zodiac]

nvm i think i got it

yea i got it
mult is now gone !!

[granite nymph]

why do we both have animal themed decks

[cinder cliff]

because they are cute

[wild escarp]

Why can't I access split_suit and split_rank in my challenge deck?

        split_rank = 'Q'
    elseif _rank == 13 then
        split_rank = 'K'
    elseif _rank == 14 then
        split_rank = 'A'
    end
end

[cinder cliff]

I made the deck before I realised SMOD existed, so I just editied the source code

[modern kindle]

Make a pr that lets people type in console and then it'll automatically generate whatever buttons they desire which then create a new cardarea which then imports all of joyousspring

[red flower]

i should secretly just pr the entirety of joyousspring to smods yes

[modern kindle]

Thats what I'm saying bestie

[red flower]

god i always forget gifs are banned

[modern kindle]

I dont remember are quantum editions working
I think like a month ago they weren't

[red flower]

enhancements? yes
i dont think quantum editions exist

[modern kindle]

Wasn't there talk about quantum editions being desired

Could do that

As a pr

[vale glen]

Mmh, mmh. Axy knows they're improving with every pull request to the mod they're part of, because each time Axy has learned new things that they didn't before, from other modders and their code, as well as the docs and the source code itself. Axy also knows that they don't know a lot of things, so looking at more senior modders keeps Axy humble. Is a good balance!

[modern kindle]

Bepis is a horrible example because bepis is as awesome as N
They are both smarty pants

[vale glen]

Nah, Axy was saying that your hard work and dedication to this place shines through in the cool stuff you make, and that it's not about talent or being "good" at things from the start.

[modern kindle]

Compare yourself with me and you'll be a genius

[vale glen]

Will do so eventually! Currently trying to mod the game, so adding a bunch of cards from JoyousSpring would slow down load times for now. Will give it a try after the mod is in a decent state though!

[granite nymph]

does anyone know how to make a new type of consumavble?

[iron mica]

Balatro uses lua?

[desert ore]

is there documentation over joker retriggers? I can't find it on the wiki

[red flower]

yes

[wild escarp]

bump

[red flower]

no

try looking at cryptid

[modern kindle]

Iirc if its just a new consumable entirely (ie new category) you need a new ConsumableType
Otherwise you'll need either loc text or some form of localization to add your desc

[desert ore]

damn that sucks, I'm using cryptid as a reference and i'm doing something wrong but not sure

talisman is only for breaking naneinf right

[red flower]

it adds exponential mult and animation skips too

[umbral zodiac]

smiles

[iron mica]

I can understand some of this code cuz i use roblox studio

[granite nymph]

no like

how do i name my consumable type

[granite nymph]

please tell me taking this give you like

an upside or somethjing

[umbral zodiac]

its supercursed

the entire point is the downside

youre lucky i gave the player time to prepare

[granite nymph]

can you sell it?

[modern kindle]

The noble delete button gives me all the prep I need

[umbral zodiac]

it makes itself eternal upon obtaining - if you have a way to remove eternal, yes

[red flower]

finally a good use of xchips

[modern kindle]

I would need clarification by what you mean, cause new consumabletype is here https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType#api-documentation-smodsconsumabletype
Unless you just meant how does your consumable which is already in tarot or in spectral or planet appear as that and have a desc

[wild escarp]

bump

[granite nymph]

how do i make this say something except [error] that’s what im asking

[granite nymph]

bump also cause i feel bad

[wild escarp]

lol

[red flower]

i mean challenges need patches or hooks to do stuff

[modern kindle]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Consumable

Set and loc_txt iirc

[red flower]

so idk what you would do for that

[wild escarp]

Yeah, idk what to hook.

[red flower]

probably whatever function uses deck.cards when the challenge starts

[wild escarp]

Damn, guess I gotta go digging for that then?

[desert ore]

I forgot about this, I think I need to have retriggers enabled somewhere, where do I do that?

because when setting up I thought I wouldn't need it lol

[wild escarp]

I think you have to check context.repetition if that's what you mean.

[desert ore]

my joker that retriggers other jokers works when cryptid is installed, but not by itself

[modern kindle]

  retrigger_joker = true
}``
`

Idk if you need cardarea too or nit

Not

[desert ore]

where do I put this

[modern kindle]

Id imagine whenever your main file is

[desert ore]

ok tyty

[modern kindle]

@manic rune i saw you typing bestie

[manic rune]

i wasnt typing sob

[modern kindle]

I saw it

[manic rune]

i was merely observing

He's in a diff nation

Yea he's 12 hours ahead of me and I'm cst

[manic rune]

its 9 an over here, yeah

[granite nymph]

oh yeah

[red flower]

it's 27 am here

[modern kindle]

Im in Ns bed rn, can confirm

[granite nymph]

do you like outside the boundries of time by any chance

[red flower]

no

[modern kindle]

He might not like it yea

[red flower]

i have to be awake for a whole 10 hours more

[scenic loom]

Is there a way to make a specific joker be more common?

[modern kindle]

What if I subtracted your 10 hours of awake today and add it to tomorrow

[red flower]

make a new rarity

if you mean dynamically then no(t yet)

[red flower]

double it and give it to the next person

[manic rune]

gimme

[modern kindle]

Unfortunately invoking this means I do give it to bepis but only after ive take 73 dollars from your bank account

[red flower]

i wont give you any money just because you decided to take 73 instead of 74 which is my favorite number

[modern kindle]

Im going to explode

[normal crest]

double it and give it to the previous person

[modern kindle]

Damn, you're gonna explode twice I'm sorry

[normal crest]

double it and give it back to me

[modern kindle]

Damn now I'm exploding 4 times

[normal crest]

can it just be one explosion with 4 times the strength

[modern kindle]

Depends on if you got the 5 big booms package

(Initial boom x4)

[hybrid shadow]

whats the key for the eternal sticker

[wheat jewel]

I keep getting a crash at line 1747 to check for cards with an edition, is there an easier way to do this?

[modern kindle]

You should be able to check for eternal with card.ability.eternal iirc

[hybrid shadow]

i want something to apply the eternal sticker as a test

[red flower]

if playing_card.edition should work

[wheat jewel]

it automatically returns true or false on whether the card has an edition?

[modern kindle]

I think you can do :set_eternal(true)

[red flower]

it doesn't return a boolean but it returns a table when it has an edition and nil when it doesn't so it's practically the same

[wheat jewel]

ohh gotcha

thanks!!

[hybrid shadow]

like just that?

[hybrid shadow]

im using a consumable to do this

[modern kindle]

(card):set_eternal(true) I think is the use case

If im wrong n can correct me

[red flower]

you are never wrong dilly

[modern kindle]

I adore everything about you

[hybrid shadow]

?

[hybrid shadow]

like that?

[modern kindle]

Give it a test and see if it works

[hybrid shadow]

it didnt

thats why im wondering what i wrote wrong here

[red flower]

uhh are you trying to set cards in hand to eternal?

idk if that works

[hybrid shadow]

trying to see if it works/does anything

i want to make a custom sticker that replicates the effect of eternal but for playing cards but i have no clue how to go about that

[red flower]

it's a bit difficult because destruction effects check for eternal directly

so other mods won't respect it even if you patch the game to

[hybrid shadow]

is there a way to just have the sticker be considered as eternal

[red flower]

probably but even then most (or all) effects don't check for eternal on playing cards

[modern kindle]

I did make eternal work for playing cards, making it work for glass was annoying though
Its a joker instead of a consumable

I made tarot cards to remove perishable and rental from playing cards so that could always be a workaround as well

[wild escarp]

Are there even any global variables accessible in a challenge? Or do I have to make custom rules?

[red flower]

custom rules are the global variables

[wild escarp]

Custom rules are too much for my little brain though.

[modern kindle]

Tbh its mostly throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticks
I have one that has a shit ton of restrictions, and some that have very few

[hybrid shadow]

at least i got my sticker that gives xchips to work

[red flower]

they just add stuff to G.GAME.modifiers.key

[modern kindle]

Like this is one of mine

Nvm was irrelevant :(

Forgive my lack of formatting im on mobile and too lazy

[wild escarp]

I've got a function that may or may not be working, but I have no way to access those values in the challenge code.

[rapid stag]

does pseudorandom_element() require a seed as the second arg or can you just call it with only the table arg

[wild escarp]

Anyone have examples of custom rules for modifying the challenge deck?

[wheat jewel]

Somehow the odds variable leads to a crash because it's a nil value from the error message

how do i fix this?

[chrome widget]

Hi Dilly!!

@modern kindle

[modern kindle]

@chrome widget hihi!!!!

I hope you're awesome

[cunning charm]

I downloaded brainstorm and balatro crashed I'm playing on mobile

[chrome widget]

Im doing decent?

Solid day overall, made a little bit of mod progress, hanging out with some friends

[wild escarp]

What can I use to make a custom rule that edits the base deck of a challenge?

[hybrid shadow]

rule 4

[cunning charm]

I didn't share personal info...?

[granite nymph]

thanks for the help

[rigid pebble]

You're welcome

[true jasper]

*yuro'e

[granite nymph]

i give up modding

[hallow forge]

when do you define G.GAME.current_round.yip_guesswho_card?

outside of the function which isn't called anywhere

[granite nymph]

i used vanilla remade’s the idol code

[hallow forge]

that doesn't answer my question

[tribal kestrel]

so I'm just starting out modding, I'm trying to make a mod to change the reroll_shop button whenever a specific joker is in hand. I've worked out how to change the reroll button, and I'm starting to work out how to detect if the joker is in hand, but I'm having some problems.

Right now I just have a keybind set up to check for the joker and print in console if it was found or not. It worked the first time, but now it constantly says found even after the joker was sold. Am I missing something?

Here is code

SMODS.Keybind {
    key_pressed = "g",
    action = function()
        if next(SMODS.find_card("j_poke_dunsparce")) then
            print("Not found!")
        else
            print("Found!")
        end
    end
}

Is there some variable that's not getting cleared?

[tall wharf]

btw get debugplus

[tribal kestrel]

that was the 2nd thing I did haha

just to get the joker in my inventory though, should I be using it for anything else?

[urban wasp]

when this joker is in the collection, it has the numbers in the first image, but when it is owned, it has the numbers in the second image. how can i make it so it always has the numbers in the first image?

[faint yacht]

...what if the actual center is referenced instead of the "copy" you have?

[urban wasp]

okay well

this is the full code of the joker

and this is the localization

["j_crp_cryptposting_cross-mod"] = {
    name = "Cryptposting Cross-Mod",
    text = {
        "{C:chips}+#1#{} Chip#<s>1#",
        "{C:mult}+#2#{} Mult",
        "{C:white,X:chips}X#3#{} Chip#<s>3#",
        "{C:white,X:mult}X#4#{} Mult",
        "{C:white,X:dark_edition}^#5#{} Mult",
    },
}

is there anything glaringly wrong here?

@hollow sphinx you're not interrupting at all; that's kinda the whole point of this channel

try replacing

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        if G.jokers then
                local card = create_card("Joker", G.jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, "j_norm_fuko")
                card:add_to_deck()
                G.jokers:emplace(card)
            return true
        end
    end,
}))

with

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        if G.jokers then
            local newcard = SMODS.add_card{key="j_norm_fuko"}
        end
        return true
    end,
}))

[hollow sphinx]

Thanks, going to sleep now so I'll try it tomorrow

[cinder cliff]

Why isn't this triggering?

[urban wasp]

can you post the full joker code here? this should work

[cinder cliff]

yep

[urban wasp]

ah, i see the issue

you have two if joker_main

one moment

[cinder cliff]

makes sense

I don't know how I am going to do both functions because once you return it breaks out of the if statement

[urban wasp]

this should work

if context.joker_main then
    if next(SMODS.find_card("j_gros_michel")) then
        return {
            m
        }
    else
        return {
            mult = card.ability.extra.mult
        }
    end
end

assuming you replace the placeholder stuff

[cinder cliff]

yep

i'll try this, thank you

[urban wasp]

oh wait one more thing

[cinder cliff]

?

[urban wasp]

this code currently makes it so that if you have gros michel, it triggers the extra mult effect thing instead of the other thing
is that what you wanted, or do you want both to trigger

[cinder cliff]

both trigger

[urban wasp]

okay one sec

[cinder cliff]

I can make it work with events and stuff

with what you sent earlier

[urban wasp]

this'll probably work

if context.joker_main then
    return {
       m
    }
    if next(SMODS.find_card("j_gros_michel")) then
        return {
            mult = card.ability.extra.mult
        }
    end
end

[cinder cliff]

maybe

[thorn furnace]

How would I go about removing the editions, enhancements, and seals from a card

[cinder cliff]

I kinda thought that once you use return it breaks out of the if statement

[urban wasp]

i don't believe so

might be dumb though

[cinder cliff]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'll find out

[urban wasp]

yea

[thorn furnace]

put return at the end

[sleek cliff]

is there someone who can help me make sense of how to make this work

[thorn furnace]

well it breaks out of the entire function to return the value

[urban wasp]

right

[thorn furnace]

Like this original code doesn't work because it returns in the first joker_main and then subsequently stops running the function so it never makes it to the second one

[cinder cliff]

yeah

[urban wasp]

yeah, that's kinda what i was getting at with this
#💻・modding-dev message

[thorn furnace]

well having two if joker_main things doesn't really matter there
It's the return

[urban wasp]

tbf usually when there's a context.joker_main there's a return in it

[thorn furnace]

returning automatically terminates the function

[urban wasp]

yeah

[urban wasp]

anyway, you might be able to steal from cryptid's vacuum's code

sigh i hate not having nitro for the longer text 😭

[cinder cliff]

maybe i can trigger another function?

[thorn furnace]

lack of indents :<

[urban wasp]

you wouldn't really need to

[urban wasp]

yeah that's the issue with uploading as a file

i think if you download it, it'll be indented though

[cinder cliff]

I just want it to always do one, but do the other if gros michel exists

[urban wasp]

do this but put the return in if context.joker_main at the bottom

so

if context.joker_main then
    if next(SMODS.find_card("j_gros_michel")) then
        return {
            mult = card.ability.extra.mult
        }
    end
    return {
       m
    }
end

[cinder cliff]

wym at end?

end of calculate?

[urban wasp]

?

[cinder cliff]

I see

I thought it was the same as before

[urban wasp]

ah yeah

[cinder cliff]

I didn't see the extra end

[urban wasp]

yea

[cinder cliff]

testing time

[hybrid shadow]

i have a bit of an interesting conundrum when it comes to stickers on playing cards and how it interacts with Death

Death will copy a sticker if a playing card has it but will not lose the sticker when copying a non-stickered card

im honestly kinda fine with it since its not the end of the world and someone deck fixing wouldnt often try it, its just something ive noticed

[cinder cliff]

gros michel average lifespan: Lasts all game or dies immediately

[urban wasp]

youareright

[hybrid shadow]

homelatro could technically be considered the largest gros michel mod that doesnt actually contain gros michel

[tall wharf]

give this man a true...

[cinder cliff]

true

[lucid owl]

...why are two +'s being added when blueprint copies a card that gives extra chips?

[modern kindle]

[hybrid shadow]

i have so many cards that use the code from vanillaremade gros michel its honestly hilarious i havent run into any issues with that part of the code yet

[cinder cliff]

it didn't work right immediately, the bonus for gros michel happened but not the default bonus, so I put the default bonus as an extra in the gros michel return and now it works properly

[urban wasp]

gotcha

[hybrid shadow]

oh no i think i might know how to code my doom sticker now...

[tribal kestrel]

worked it out, I just had the text backwards.. lol

it said not found when it was found and vice versa

[hybrid shadow]

the cardarea for the unscoring part of the played hand is just 'unscoring' right?

[tall wharf]

yes

[modern kindle]

Aiko in chat rn

[last sentinel]

Anyone know what i'd need to have in a patch for a deck that makes 'the fool' x3 more common in the shop/tarot packs?

tried it the same way folx make certain jokers more common but it made the fool appear in every cardarea in the shop(vouchers, planet packs etc)

[tall wharf]

what is folx

[last sentinel]

as in folks

or people

others

not i

[hybrid shadow]

time to see if my next sticker works as intended

wait can i return a message for a playing card?

ill try and see if it works

[thorn furnace]

is there a way to guaranteed get a random edition
for some reason poll_edition keeps returning nil for me

you'd think setting _guaranteed to true would fix that but no

[snow vale]

what parameters does :start_dissolve() need?

[glass scaffold]

No parameters needed for that.

[snow vale]

yeah but there are parameters i can use

such as the color

but idk which more

[glass scaffold]

I don't know of what parameters it accepts, but it doesn't need any to work.

[snow vale]

yeah, but i want it to take longer to dissolve

[hybrid shadow]

update, don't think so

[hybrid shadow]

wondering if context.destroy_card is only a thing for jokers and it's something else for playing cards

[hybrid shadow]

edited it to be more like glass and will check if that works

yeah still not working

[umbral zodiac]

is there a list of cardareas anywhere ingame

[hybrid shadow]

are you using debugplus

[umbral zodiac]

yeah b ut i intend to use this in an actual file

i just want to know if theres a list of cardareas so i dont have to manually apply my janky cursed effect to each one

[hybrid shadow]

yeah i was just checking real quick if debugplus had an eval for context.cardarea

(it didnt)

[hybrid shadow]

whats the effect

[umbral zodiac]

stack them all on top of each other in the center of the screen to annoy the player

[hybrid shadow]

you might want to enable the optional feature of cardarea deck then

[hybrid shadow]

if you do that you can do cardarea == G.deck or cardarea ~= G.deck

[hybrid shadow]

i think

dont quote me on it in any case

[thorn furnace]

Isn't that just a tautology

[hybrid shadow]

wdym

[thorn furnace]

Like it's always a true statement

[hybrid shadow]

they're doing UI stuff not calculate stuff (i think)

[umbral zodiac]

would you rather get this joker or pouring boiling water on your skin

[umbral zodiac]

i found the solution to this btw
it was just looping through everything in G and checking if it was a cardarea object lmao

[thorn furnace]

I mean i dont see how that changes it tho
If the first one is false then the second one is true by definition

false or true = true

[gusty hemlock]

Hey guys i have no idea what im doing, does anyone know how i change the color of the text? Just the regular white text. I was hoping it'd be as simple as changing a variable but im not really sure what im looking at, sorry for interuppting i just cant find this anywhere else

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling

[hybrid shadow]

where do you want the text changed

[hybrid shadow]

alr cool

[gusty hemlock]

Not the card text, just the regular UI text like on the main menu n stuff

[gusty hemlock]

This just seemed to be for card text im looking for something simpler

[hybrid shadow]

this is more complicated than you think

[gusty hemlock]

Im not adding text is what i mean

[gusty hemlock]

Crap.. I figured it'd be just as easy as changing the shadow text

[hybrid shadow]

youre asking abt making changes to text of base game UI which isnt very simple unless (speculation ahead since i havent done it myself) ||you know how to do lovely patches||

[molten musk]

ok so i made this code for spectral seal, but i want to add 1/3 chance to trigger
and 1/6 chance for destroy

how do i do that?

[gusty hemlock]

Elaborate, i want to try and learn whatever i can

[stoic fulcrum]

does anyone know how to make a joker disable itself

[hybrid shadow]

you wanna start with making config variables for odds_1 and odds_2 (where the 3 is odds_1 and the 6 is odds_2). G.GAME.probabilities.normal is the numerator (1) in those cases

[hybrid shadow]

i dont know how to change the code of the base game, you'd have to ask someone who's done that before

[molten musk]

do u have an example code so i can see?

[hybrid shadow]

like the config code?

[molten musk]

yep

[hybrid shadow]

config = { extra = { odds_1 = 3, odds_2 = 6 } },

[thorn furnace]

Bump

[molten musk]

im new to lua, so still need to figure out coding lines

[gusty hemlock]

Dang

[molten musk]

add before calculate?

[hybrid shadow]

yeah

[molten musk]

after that, i need to check if it hit 1/3 odd to trigger
else if it hits 1/3 destroy card
else do nothing?

[gusty hemlock]

@daring fern You got something you wanna say? lol

[hybrid shadow]

this is typical behavior from him just ignore it

[gusty hemlock]

Ahh digital sign language i see

[hybrid shadow]

idk how the actual code for that would go but i do know what goes in the if

[molten musk]

and what goes in the if?

[hybrid shadow]

for the initial one it's if pseudorandom('string') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds_1 then

whatever you want can go in the string, i use the full key of the item but you can use whatever

[gusty hemlock]

One more thing, does anyone know why the custom music sometimes loops at the wrong points? The only reason why i started modding the code was because i was trying to find out how to fix this.. Originally i just replaced the .oggs but it kept cutting the song off after a few seconds. Assuming it has to do with the .ogg itself but i wasnt sure. Again I couldn't find anything online about this. Ive been looking for a month.

Not using steammodded or anything like that either

[molten musk]

string can be anything like anything, or does it need to contain key?

[hybrid shadow]

like i said it can be anything you want, i just use the key of the item because thats my preference

[molten musk]

i see

its giving red lines?

[hybrid shadow]

if statements go inside calculate functions

[molten musk]

ok

[hasty mist]

how do i permanently change base reroll cost?

[hybrid shadow]

like with a deck? joker? voucher?

[hasty mist]

with a joker

i would also like to know how to change shop prices too

[molten musk]

wanna check something, in lua, when using else function
does it only trigger if the previous if fails or it works either way?

[hybrid shadow]

you might wanna look at the voucher code then
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/41ea3b428633da0b6de9306310f89858ac38c62e/src/vouchers.lua#L154

[hardy viper]

the else clause only runs if the if clause didn't

[daring fern]

Hook card:set_cost

[molten musk]

i see

thx

[hasty mist]

ooh alright thanks

[gusty hemlock]

Is this the main menu background or the splash splashscreen with the cards loading in

[hardy viper]

vortex is main menu background

splash is cards going in

[gusty hemlock]

Alrighty thank you!

[molten musk]

so id i wanna check 2 functions for a card at the same time but each is separate condition
what do i use?

[hardy viper]

like so

if condition1 then
 --some code here
elseif condition2 then
 --only runs if the initial clause didn't, AND if condition2 evaluated to a truthy value
else
 --runs if neither the if nor the elseif clause ran
end

[molten musk]

like i have this to check 1/3 chance to trigger
and 1/6 chance to destroy it self
but dont wanna if else

[hardy viper]

(you don't need that last else i just included it to demonstrate how you could if you want)

[molten musk]

i wanna activate the 2nd condition either the first one failed or not

[hardy viper]

it looks like you've got the right idea but you're not checking the contexts properly, you're only checking it in the body of the first if statement when you should be checking it before the if statement

[molten musk]

i know

but thats not main issue here

[hasty mist]

is there a reason this message doesn't show up?

[molten musk]

do i do a seperate if for the second condition?

will that work without worring about the 1st?

[sturdy compass]

Do end_of_round and main_eval conflict?

[hasty mist]

the other effect and the print function both work normally

so id assume not

[sturdy compass]

Hm

[hardy viper]

if you want the second event to only happen if the first one didn't, you have it right

[sturdy compass]

What’s that true at the end of the return table?

[hasty mist]

no idea

i copied it from another joker of mine i made weeks ago

[hardy viper]

im having trouble understanding though

[hasty mist]

doesnt do anything without the true either

[molten musk]

i want it to trigger even if the first one triggered or not

[hardy viper]

in that case use a separate if

[molten musk]

ok

[sturdy compass]

Idk if this would change it at all but maybe massage_card instead of card?

[oblique aurora]

hello everyone! so i started to make my mod yesterday trying to make a joker to start off simple, but i can't make it appear in game. I have the sprites and the code but i can't understand what's the problem

the games loads normally, but the joker does not apppear

[daring fern]

Code?

[sturdy compass]

Do you have a metadata file?

[hasty mist]

nothing

[sturdy compass]

Worth a shot

[hasty mist]

messages are so weird

[oblique aurora]

this is the code i made:

[sturdy compass]

@oblique aurora

[oblique aurora]

you mean the code?

[sturdy compass]

No

I mean a .json that contains mod information

[oblique aurora]

i dont have it in my directory folder of the mod

[sturdy compass]

It should be in there if you do have one

[molten musk]

so i just want to check if card is played and scoring

but gives me error

[sturdy compass]

And if you do not have one, then https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[molten musk]

what do i add after it?

[sturdy compass]

You don’t have a then

[molten musk]

[oblique aurora]

this is how it is

[sturdy compass]

Yeah you need to read this page and make one of the files it describes

[oblique aurora]

okk

[sturdy compass]

A missing metadata is a classic newbie blunder

[oblique aurora]

so like i give the name "metadata.json"?

[hasty mist]

i still use a header 😭

[molten musk]

crashes when applied?

why?

[hasty mist]

i dont see any reason to switch

[sturdy compass]

Yucky

[hasty mist]

is there a good reason to switch?

[molten musk]

game opens normally but when i apply seal it crashes

[sturdy compass]

It’s usually standard to call the file mod_name.json

Tho not sure it matters too much

[hasty mist]

damn i forgot clearance sale is percentage based

fuck

[molten musk]

i think its cause of lua card.ability.extra.odds_

[hasty mist]

im trying to increase shop prices additively

[molten musk]

what do i do with extra??

[oblique aurora]

what should i put here?

[molten musk]

priority keep it 0

color, what ever color u like

[sturdy compass]

Priority you don’t really have to touch, dependencies only if your mod requires another mod to function, badge_colour and badge_text_colour should be hex codes, and version is your mod’s version number

[molten musk]

use its color code

[daring fern]

Hook card:set_cost

[sturdy compass]

Like 1.0.3 or somthing like that

[hasty mist]

where is this function located?

actually

[daring fern]

In card.lua

[hasty mist]

i think i found it

yeah

ty

[molten musk]

what do i do with this?

anyone?

[oblique aurora]

somehow it still doesn't show up

still gives 150 jokers and not 11 pages

[daring fern]

Is the mod loading?

[oblique aurora]

yes

this is the main menu when i load up the mod

[hasty mist]

do you not have smods installed

[oblique aurora]

i have balatro mod manager

[sturdy compass]

Gruh

[oblique aurora]

what

😭

[sturdy compass]

That significantly hurts our ability to help you lol

[oblique aurora]

why?

its my first time sorry if i make mistakes

😭

[sturdy compass]

BMM just changes a lot of things to where we cannot account for everything it does

[broken cliff]

@oblique aurora d oyou have lovely

[oblique aurora]

oh

[oblique aurora]

yes i do

[broken cliff]

win + r %appdata%\balatro\mods

check if any mods are in there

[hasty mist]

it was much easier than that

[broken cliff]

wait nvm i scrolled up

actually you should still check

[hasty mist]

you question mark react but this works perfectly lmao

[broken cliff]

bcuz no mods section

[daring fern]

Do you want it to happen before or after clearance sale?

[hasty mist]

wdym

[daring fern]

The adding to the cost?

[broken cliff]

try renaming balatro to Balatro and mods to Mods

[oblique aurora]

it's already like that

[tribal kestrel]

Why can't I get the game to recognize the 2nd localization?

return {
    misc={
        dictionary={
            k_reroll="Reroll",
            k_ave_reroll=": Reroll?"
        }
    }
}

[hasty mist]

its just a flat addition to the cost, i'm not sure what you mean

it's not related to clearance sale

[broken cliff]

in your screenshot its lowercase

[daring fern]

Do you want clearance sale to discount the extra cost you are giving it?

[hasty mist]

i don't think it matters much

[oblique aurora]

i just copied your message with the directory

but the directory its still the same

[broken cliff]

are the files in it the same

[sturdy compass]

This is why BMM isn’t worth dealing with imo, especially if you’re aspiring to dev

Just too many things that can go wrong

[oblique aurora]

what should i do then?

[oblique aurora]

yes

[sturdy compass]

I have no clue how to uninstall it lol

[broken cliff]

ok

hm

[oblique aurora]

let me do some researcg

[broken cliff]

does lovely console say anything @oblique aurora

like it puts out debug info in there

[oblique aurora]

when i load up the game?

[broken cliff]

yes

[oblique aurora]

wait

[broken cliff]

try removing multiplayer mod ig

[oblique aurora]

i have removed BMM now

manage to uninstall it

[sturdy compass]

Gg

[oblique aurora]

what should i do now?

[sturdy compass]

Make sure lovely is still installed and then give it whirl. Shouldn’t have to do anything with your mods folder

[oblique aurora]

yep everything is still there

the mods and everything else

[broken cliff]

debugplus works so smods techncially work?
i think you could run eval print(SMODS:find_mod("Cryptid"))

[glass scaffold]

How do I configure a Booster Pack to have certain Jokers?

[broken cliff]

find_mod*

[daring fern]

No, it would be print(next(SMODS.find_mod("Cryptid")))

[tribal kestrel]

Am I not able to add new definitions like this?

I'm trying to swap between the two texts

❓ what's confusing? I can try to explain

[sturdy compass]

Probably create a new pool and add the keys of the jokers you want into it

[oblique aurora]

tried not to use BMM and now it gives this error

[glass scaffold]

going off of SMODS Wiki's Booster tab, should this work?

[sturdy compass]

I think so

[broken cliff]

update your talisman

[sturdy compass]

I know Yahimod does mod-specific joker boosters so maybe try checking that for reference?

[broken cliff]

https://github.com/mathisfun0/talisman/releases/latest

[oblique aurora]

okk

[glass scaffold]

Yeah, if Yahimod didn't throw files everywhere like 52-Card Pickup.

[sturdy compass]

Very very true lmao

Ctrl + F your way through the junk

😤

[oblique aurora]

still

[merry frost]

I can't seem to get cards_to_hand to work. Everything else works fine but that one feature doesn't function. Anybody have any ideas?

[broken cliff]

update smods https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

[oblique aurora]

now it works, but my mod doesn't show up

[broken cliff]

your mod needs an smods header file

[oblique aurora]

i think i already have it

[molten musk]

why?

[oblique aurora]

i'll send the code rq

[molten musk]

crashes when i try to do anything with seal

it applies to card

[oblique aurora]

this is the main code

[broken cliff]

where is the line 74

[molten musk]

if pseudorandom('string') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds_1 then

[daring fern]

What about the JSON?

[broken cliff]

that is rancid, this is the json file you need to have

[oblique aurora]

for the joker file?

[broken cliff]

(you NEED to have main_file, id, name, prefix, maybe priority)

[broken cliff]

it should be in your mod folder and it should have .json file type

[molten musk]

if pseudorandom('string') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds_1 then

[broken cliff]

main_file will be run

[broken cliff]

alr hold on let me check

[oblique aurora]

this is what i have

[broken cliff]

do you have main.lua file

[oblique aurora]

yes, i send it before the whole code i have

[broken cliff]

use self.config

self.config.extra.odds_1

[molten musk]

ok let me try

[glass scaffold]

Thanks, SMODS wiki. Very cool.
(Code attached for ref)

[molten musk]

it doesnt crash when applied any more

but crashes after card used

[daring fern]

You are missing a =

[hasty mist]

this seems to only ever roll 1, any reason why?

wait

[glass scaffold]

Thanks, it launched and properly rendered

[hasty mist]

i might be dumb hold on

i forgot quotation marks in the print functions

[hardy viper]

not necessary

[broken cliff]

i dont think smods.destroy_cards exists

[last sentinel]

bump

[molten musk]

what do i change it to?

[hasty mist]

alright this seems to work even though its a tad messier

[daring fern]

It does.

[broken cliff]

oh

[daring fern]

Only on new SMODS versions though.

[broken cliff]

i think the optimal choice would be to use "context.destroying_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == card" then return { remove = true } ?

you can add an event inbetween the code

[wintry solar]

You wouldn’t need an area check with the rest of this statement

[thorn furnace]

How do I tell if a new consumable is acquired

[daring fern]

context.card_added and context.card.ability.consumeable?

[molten musk]

"context.destroying_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == card" then return { remove = true}
like this?

[thorn furnace]

thanks

[glass scaffold]

Yay, more issues!
-# Why can't this work...

[hasty mist]

my god this joker has some ugly code

[broken cliff]

no,

if context.destroying_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == card then return { remove = true } end

you can add code inbetween the "then" and return statement

like an event to give you something idk

[molten musk]

but i dont want guarenteed destroy
want it 1/6 chance to destroy

[hasty mist]

alright, how would i go about creating a set number of random jokers (ignoring joker slots)

[molten musk]

thats why it like this

[wintry solar]

if context.destroying_card and context.destroying_card == card then
  if pseudorandom('string') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/6 then
    return {
      remove = true
    }
  end
end```

[hardy viper]

idk ask riff raff

[hasty mist]

true

[hardy viper]

just replace create_card with SMODS.add_card and profit or smth 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[native zinc]

for i = 1, 4 do...

[hasty mist]

i consulted vanillaremade

[molten musk]

for some reason play hand and discard are not working

[molten musk]

after i did this

[hasty mist]

riffraff is very forgettable

[wintry solar]

what do you mean?

[molten musk]

restarted the game a few times and tried
its just they are so slow

like take too long to calculate or something

[cursive sentinel]

got a crash due to "attempt to compare table with number" on a card.states.visible = false line, is it from a known mod, and is there a fix?

[wintry solar]

can you screenshot your entire calc function?

[daring fern]

Are you sure that is the right line?

[cursive sentinel]

except if they're on an older version, probably

(got the crash report from a tester, saw circa 80 mods)

[daring fern]

Did you ask them what that line is on their side?

[cursive sentinel]

i haven't, will now

[molten musk]

i think i understand the issue here
