[scenic steeple]

now a slight continuation question, what about specific suits (uhhh hearts for example)

[red flower]

context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts")

[pure salmon]

yeah that

[scenic steeple]

got it so my entire mistake there was not throwing it into the ()

-# I did it similar to ranks

[lament agate]

alrigh fuck it

is it possible for a joker to check lovely dumps inside of your Mods folder?

if so, how

[normal crest]

you want to read files?

or are you referring to something else

[red flower]

do you want to count the logs like you said before?

[tardy juniper]

how can i make a joker add mult before cards are scored? tried using context.before but then when the cards start scoring the mult resets.

[lament agate]

ja ja

[lament agate]

what N said

[red flower]

#NFS.getDirectoryItems(SMODS.MODS_DIR .. "/lovely/log")

[formal parrot]

I knew you were a femboy

[normal crest]

you'll probably have to make a new context that happens after the before one, I'm looking at it and I don't see an existing one

[lament agate]

not here

[lament agate]

hold on

where do i out this

[red flower]

that gives you the number of logs

[formal parrot]

Fym not here 😭

[red flower]

you put it where you need the number

[lament agate]

THIS IS DEV CHANNEL

[maiden phoenix]

I think you'll have to add your own context as a hook in SMODS.calculate_main_scoring

[lament agate]

mmm i see

hold on

[normal crest]

oh wait that reminds me

I made a context for that months ago

the pattern needs to be changed tho cus that's old

[wintry solar]

after before seems to be a pretty common request

[normal crest]

if you add it please think of a better name lol

[maiden phoenix]

Can't wait for context.after_the_before_of_after_before_of_after_but_before

[normal crest]

how about modify_hand_score or smt like that

[wintry solar]

I think context.initial_scoring_step would work

[red flower]

too similar to modify_hand imo

[red flower]

context.the_day_after_tomorrow

[normal crest]

is that a context?

[red flower]

yes

for the flint-like effects

[normal crest]

oh modify_scoring_hand

fair enough

[maiden phoenix]

context.when_days_break

[red flower]

no that's another one lol

that's for splash

[hollow sphinx]

I've been trying to find the code for the custom editions added in cryptid but I can't find them anywhere...

[normal crest]

ohhh

[red flower]

trying to find stuff in cryptids codebase is a nightmare because of their custom loading

[normal crest]

I guess you're referring to the blind function

[red flower]

yes it's also a context now

[normal crest]

i see i see

[wintry solar]

omg being able to add stuff here is neat

N, any reason you added round_eval before the deck trigger, or am I free to move it around slightly?

[red flower]

i think i copied final_scoring_step, feel free to move it

[plush depot]

oh my god my fuse blew a few hours ago and my code didnt save

I LOST EVERYTHING FOR MY ENHANCEMENT

[red flower]

F

[plush depot]

i give up

ill just ask (force) someone to help me (do it for me)

[unkempt thicket]

How do i change the Main menu (Balatro picture, Ace card, Background colors)

[hybrid shadow]

whats the enhancement intended effect

[plush depot]

x1.5 mult

but it kept giving me error messages for idk what and put it aside for a while

[hybrid shadow]

gimme a minute

[plush depot]

to be specific upon scoring

ty factwixard

[wild escarp]

So polychrome but an enhancement?

[patent hare]

hello gang I have a Joker i'm tryna make and all its supposed to do is activate the effects of three random jokers, but i cannot get it to work whatsoever. The game doesn't crash, Chatgpt won't help, and IM GETTING VERY ANNOYED someone please help

le code:

[hardy viper]

chatgpt 💔

[plush depot]

they need to be in different files, the top part in a .json and the rest in .lua

[patent hare]

kagu_stare~1

oh

[hybrid shadow]

anything else special about it? (overriding base card's chip value, all suits, no suit, no rank, etc)

[plush depot]

no not really its just base X1.5 mult after scoring

[hybrid shadow]

SMODS.Enhancement
 key = 'key',
 atlas = 'atlaskey',
 pos = { x = x, y = y },
 config = {
  x_mult = 1.5
 },
 loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  return { vars = { card.ability.x_mult } }
 end
}```

[plush depot]

thanks

What's the best way to go about balancing Jokers

I've opened up my mod for playtesting but I'm not sure if there are other ways to go about it
I've done more than a few runs myself but a lot of the Jokers in my mod I'm worried about being unbalanced are incredibly hard to get so it's hard to test legitimately

[wintry solar]

I broke tmj again btw

[hybrid shadow]

have you had a run where you open up the game with just your mod, any dependencies, and debugplus and mess around with that?

[spice wadi]

I honestly thing playtesting is the best way
You could give yourself a joker at the start of the run to see how powerful it would be across the entire run
Like it could be way too helpful at the start for example

[thorn furnace]

I've done it with debug plus but I feel like if you get almost any rarer joker too early then itll be unbalanced
And its hard to gauge when you'd normally get it by

[wild escarp]

How would I track jokers that have been edited by another joker? I'd like to keep naturally occurring eternals separate from ones made by the joker.

[wintry solar]

I guess these other PRs can wait for another day, I am done 🥱

[hybrid shadow]

i mean balatro itself has a bunch of jokers that are a bit unbalanced if gained early on

[thorn furnace]

Yea

[chrome widget]

Thanks for merging mine Eremel. I can now go murder a lovely patch with glee

[hollow sphinx]

trying to make an edition that retriggers whatever card it's on. It works fine on cards but doesn't work on jokers.

[hybrid shadow]

ig what im trying to say is that you should balance it for when you want players to find it, and if they get it early then it's lucky them

[spice wadi]

And some awful jokers too
Balancing doesn't have to be perfect

[spice wadi]

Do you have the retrigger joker feature enabled

[hollow sphinx]

yes

this is the code i have for that

if thats wrong

[hybrid shadow]

loyalty card:

[hybrid shadow]

optional_features not optional_featured

[hollow sphinx]

that makes sense...

yep it works now

[thorn furnace]

Fair
Part of me is worried that I'm too out of touch from playing things like Cryptid and Polterworx to actually make Jokers that don't immediately make the vanilla ones useless or otherwise outranked
And then there's stuff like
I have no idea when you're supposed to get a legendary rarity or above Joker
I've gotten one like four times tops outside of cryptid

Eh ill just wait for the playtesters ig

[wild escarp]

bump

[hybrid shadow]

its an interesting line to balance

ive always thought of it like

i want people to pick up my jokers while also not completely ignoring the vanilla ones

which is why a lot of my jokers have conditions that may synergize with some vanilla jokers and have anti-synergies with others (and even some others from my mod)

[hardy viper]

💔 how fix

[red flower]

you might be able to patch something in create_card_for_shop but this seems kinda hard to keep track of

[wintry solar]

I submitted a PR that fixes it but I don't know if it buggers up the search algorithm

[hardy viper]

ah ill take a look

[thorn furnace]

Yea a lot of my Jokers synergize with vanilla jokers
And each other (some thematically synergizing with each other)

[hybrid shadow]

i realize now that some of my jokers actually have thematic anti-synergies lol

[scenic steeple]

so, I'm trying to make a sort of counter to keep track of the number of wild cards vs the total number of cards in the deck, then replace this joker with another joker (Devotion) when 1/4 of the deck is just wild cards, but well, nothing is happening so there's got to be some sort of mistake here

[unkempt thicket]

How do i change the Main menu (Balatro picture, Ace card, Background colors)

[red flower]

1. scoring_name is the name of the poker hand, never "hand"
2. context.other_card doesn't exist in that loop
3. to destroy the card use SMODS.destroy_cards(card) (you might need to update smods)
4. to add a new joker do SMODS.add_card{key = "j_modprefix_key"}

[red flower]

i would check how pokermon does the first two
this is how i do the last one
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/4513d7a50361889f843ac1dc9796e1b5b8b5883c/src/general_ui.lua#L604

[coarse plank]

anyone know how to affect the tripple and pair in a full house seperatly?

[plush depot]

so uh my game crashes when i go to the enhancments tab in collection

[hybrid shadow]

question, in something that uses SMODS.add_card, how would i make it so it creates a joker of two possible rarities? (i have SMODS.add_card({ set = 'Joker', rarity = 'Rare' }) currently

[hybrid shadow]

did you actually change the key, atlaskey, x, and y in the code?

[plush depot]

oh not the x and y lol

[scenic steeple]

so I'm kinda assuming that for the poker hand, unless I want it to be from a specific poker hand I just remove that, then what would I use instead of context.other_card for trying to count wilds?

[hybrid shadow]

i didnt know what your x and y values so i set x = x and y = y (which was probably what caused your crash)

[plush depot]

this is the error i got (i changed key, atlas key, and the x and y)

[plush depot]

i have no idea what they are supposed to be so

[hybrid shadow]

do you have an atlas for the enhancement

[plush depot]

oops

[hybrid shadow]

you need to add an atlas for it

[plush depot]

done lets see if it works

same error message

[hybrid shadow]

do you have SMODS.Atlas somewhere for the enhancement

[hybrid shadow]

do you have red.png in both 1x and 2x in your assets

[crimson tapir]

hey im new to modding im tying to add a joker to the source code in the 7-zip archive what do i add to the code to add a joker

[hybrid shadow]

also your atlas key is red, not RedE

[plush depot]

yep

ok lets see now!

it worked?

lemme add loc_txt lol

[hybrid shadow]

yeah thats the only thing missing now

[plush depot]

woohoo

imma see if it works now thx factwixard

[hybrid shadow]

btw for future enhancements there's a table of what they can do here https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Enhancement

[plush depot]

thank you

oh yeah it works

alr i now need to make the taarot card

[red flower]

you can remove it

in that case the card you want to check is c

[chrome widget]

I've taken two more lovely patches behind the woodshed

I see two more whose days are numbered

[thorn furnace]

I need to stop thinking of overambitious ideas for mods i need to just learn how the engine works first

[hybrid shadow]

nice

[glad osprey]

red card if it was good

[scenic steeple]

I'm sorry but what do you mean by c

[red flower]

you named it c lol

[scenic steeple]

oh

I'm gonna presume I rename that to wilds

[red flower]

i would name it playing_card

[scenic steeple]

that sounds better

[tardy juniper]

why does it... what am i doing wrong

[scenic steeple]

I feel the sense of getting close to fixed but idk lmao

[tardy juniper]

nvm figured it out

minor spelling mistake

[chrome widget]

change context.other_card to playing_card

there's no other_card in joker_main, and you're wanting to tally the playing_card values per the iterator in the for loop

[scenic steeple]

so this should just about be all of it good

-# assuming I didn't f up something somewhere

[chrome widget]

should be good?

[scenic steeple]

well it didn't work, didn't crash so I just have no clue

I probably messed up the add_card but idrk

[lament agate]

is this right?

context: Xmult for each remaining card in deck

wait fuck

hold on

how do you change it to xmult

[scenic steeple]

Probably the best I need is just a nice explanation of how

SMODS.add_card{key = "j_modprefix_key"}

works (more specifically what the j_modprefix_key really means)

[lament agate]

        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult, card.ability.extra.xmult * ((G.deck and G.deck.cards) and #G.deck.cards or 52) } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.xmult * #G.deck.cards
            }
        end
    end
}```

is this right?

[scenic steeple]

that looks mostly good to me, otherwise maybe try removing the x???????

don't listen to me kekw

[lament agate]

aight

[red flower]

you're returning chips

change it to xmult

[lament agate]

done

also it shows nil

Xnil

[red flower]

what's the text

[red flower]

it needs to be #1# and #2#
each number corresponds to one of the vars

[lament agate]

how would the vars looks like

[red flower]

the vars look correct

[lament agate]

so X1 Mult for each and currently X2?

[red flower]

no

[exotic imp]

Can someone help me understand calculate

[lament agate]

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

[exotic imp]

I have read that and I am still confused

[red flower]

they relate to what you return in loc_vars so #1# would be xmult and #2# would be xmult * deck

[lament agate]

cheers

[red flower]

i think the best way to get it is to see examples

[lament agate]

thank

s

[red flower]

these are the vanilla jokers done with smods
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua

[exotic imp]

I have looked at other jokers from mods but I don't understand it

[red flower]

is there something specific you don't understand?

[exotic imp]

in the github it's put as steps 2 and 3

[lament agate]

something has fucked up terribly

[red flower]

step 2 is telling you that you can do any logic you want in a context. for example when the shop ends you add 1 to a counter

step 3 is saying that there are special tables you can return to do effects like give chips, mult, money, destroy cards, etc.

[red flower]

you didn't change the chips thing

[lament agate]

oh what i did

hold on

oh

for fuck sake

really

done

[exotic imp]

is step 2 required if you don't want anything to increase over time like joker

[red flower]

no, look at the basic joker in the link i sent earlier for example

that only has steps 1 and 3

[exotic imp]

ok thank you

I was confused because the ways it's written int the github it makes it seam like you need 1-3

[lament agate]

i got 4 jokers working 🥳

baby step

[violet gulch]

Is there a context to watch for money spent? Say you wanted something to trigger on every X dollars spent?

[daring fern]

No.

[formal parrot]

What does Jobama do

[lament agate]

retrigger 4th of July twice

[violet gulch]

Thanks, didnt think so.

[lament agate]

ALRIGHT THE RARITY

let me list the jokers ability

[formal parrot]

I think there’s a way to work around it tho

[sonic cedar]

what am i doing wrong here? cause apparently lucky.trigger is based on false rather than true, but this doesnt work?

[formal parrot]

You can check money before entering shop and when starting a blind

[daring fern]

No, you would just hook ease_dollars

[lament agate]

COPE: Retrigger 7 and 4 twice
jofreak: played 6 or 9 has 1 in 2 chance to give X6.9 Mult
FIM: X0.2 Mult for each remaining card in deck
fish: +15 Chips for each scored cards

[formal parrot]

That’s literally what i meant

(I’m bad at explaining)

[lament agate]

rarity wise

[violet gulch]

This is what I was kinda assuming, but to clarify, when you say hook, hook into it with Lovely or is there another way I'm unaware of?

[chrome widget]

hooking is a function of the Lua language itself

[violet gulch]

Oh, thats helpful. thanks. Not well versed in Lua. Just starting down this experiment

[chrome widget]

essentially, save the old version of a function in a variable, and then redeclare it. You can then call the old function as kind of a form of inheritance

[hollow sphinx]

getting this crash and I assume it is because I have the names of the seals wrong here

[chrome widget]

function ease_dollars(mod, instant)
    local ret = ref_ease_dollars(mod, instant)

    -- do some code

    return ret
end```

[daring fern]

Yes, it's just "Red", "Blue", "Gold" and "Purple"

[chrome widget]

Here's a basic example of hooking ease dollars that does nothing except return the original function's return (which is nil, but it's good practice to explicitly return it anyway)

[hollow sphinx]

awesome thanks

[lament agate]

does smods supports custom font?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

how

[violet gulch]

Ah, so thats what Extra Credit is doing here:

[lament agate]

i want to use custom font for the description

and probably the title too

[chrome widget]

yep. I do this exact thing too

[sonic cedar]

for context, the glass.trigger version functions on true, and this works! so for lucky.trigger i would need to make an opposite version of it right? what am i doing wrong

[daring fern]

It's SMODS.Font but it's new so there is no documentation on it.

[violet gulch]

Thank you for the help! Been writing joker ideas down for awhile. Got the first 3 working. 4th idea wasn't quite as simple.

[red flower]

i use it in my mod

[lament agate]

found it

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/684

what version is this

[red flower]

0530

[lament agate]

updating

brb

should i use the dev branch or

[red flower]

yeah but because the latest release has a big bug

[lament agate]

fair

dev branch it is

[scenic steeple]

so uhhhh, how tf does a custom rarity work?

[exotic imp]

if I wanted to discard a card in the played hand after all jokers are activated which context would I use?

[hybrid shadow]

what exactly do you mean?

[scenic steeple]

like, if I wanted to make a custom joker rarity

yk just, something above legendary

[hybrid shadow]

do you want it to show up in the shop or just be summoned by a card

[red flower]

probably context.after

[exotic imp]

thanks I will try that

[hybrid shadow]

bump

[red flower]

rarity = pseudorandom_element({"Rare", "Uncommon"}, pseudoseed("seed"))

if you want to respect weights you need to do your own polling probably

[sonic cedar]

you can link it to pseudorandom_element i'm pretty su--i was THIS close

[hybrid shadow]

all else considered, weights are equal so just pseudorandom element here is needed, thanks

[exotic imp]

what would be the code for discarding a card from the hand after the context inside the result?

[red flower]

i cant wait for the next smods release to never have to write pseudoseed again

[hybrid shadow]

whats changing?

[sonic cedar]

REAL

[red flower]

check what the hook does
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/d519ea2c28a92ab0abc08a8a83fc7cd8d998d411/src/blinds.lua#L20

[lament agate]

71*95 was for one joker right?

[red flower]

i PR'd it so it takes a string directly now

[lament agate]

how about 1 joker and 1 soul pos?

[red flower]

the size is for the sprite not for the entire atlas

each sprite is 71x95

[lament agate]

so twice that amount?

i am SO sorry, i skipped math last year

[red flower]

in the atlas definition you put 71x95

then the png can be any multiple of that you want

[lament agate]

oh yes of course i will put that, but making one

so 2 sprites means

[red flower]

grab a calculator lol

[lament agate]

fair

[hybrid shadow]

kind of like how pseudorandom all on its own just uses a string? would rewriting it just be pseudorandom_element("string") = whatever?

[normal crest]

they mean you will be able to do pseudorandom_element(list, "seed")

[hybrid shadow]

oh cool

[scenic steeple]

definitely summoned

[hybrid shadow]

read through this and see if it helps, i can further help if you need it https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Rarity

[sonic cedar]

bumping this and readding pictures
glass.trigger operates on true, lucky.trigger operates on false
however this lucky.trigger code doesn't function properly

[exotic imp]

how do I give myself my new joker to test if it works?

[hybrid shadow]

do you have debugplus

[exotic imp]

no

[hollow snow]

what does info_queue use? or what can i use to make a custom info_queue item

[hybrid shadow]

[flint fern]

help

played with tons of mods
dont know where to report it to

my RAM is not fucked is it

[red flower]

#⚙・modding-general

[sweet pelican]

I got this custom joker working, it is functioning as intended, but the display always says that it's at x1 mult, I get that it's because in the config Xmult is equal to 1 but I'm not sure how I can get it to reflect the value accurately as anytime I try to reference the "#G.consumeable.cards" I get errors, any insight would be awesome I'm super new to this lol

[normal crest]

in your loc_vars also return the Xmult + the number of consumables

also use x_mult or xmult, not Xmult_mod

(you will have to check whether G.consumeables exists in your loc_vars function)

[red flower]

you can use card.ability.extra.Xmult + (G.consumeables and #G.consumeables.cards or 0)

[violet gulch]

For my education, why?

[normal crest]

Xmult_mod only works if you also pass a message, which is fine if you're using a custom message, but otherwise x_mult and xmult automatically create the message

[sweet pelican]

worked flawlessly yall are goated tysm

[exotic imp]

can anyone explain why my joker isn't doing anything?

[primal robin]

Holy sh what I did, that's looks scary

[modern kindle]

Hi besties

[daring fern]

I'm pretty sure that G.play doesn't have any cards in it at context.after

[normal crest]

not the worst UI code

[exotic imp]

then what context should I use also not even the chips or mult is working

[normal crest]

i can't see cus the pic is small, but did you accidentally write joker_nain

[exotic imp]

no it's joker_main

[normal crest]

hmm, make sure to start a new run

[glad osprey]

what funcs are called when the shop is opened or rerolled

[daring fern]

Also, you should be using context.destroy_card not context.after and just return {remove = true}

[sonic cedar]

bump

[daring fern]

G.FUNCS.toggle_shop and G.FUNCS.reroll_shop I think.

[exotic imp]

so I started a now run and it works now but the card stays on screen, would tat make it not stay on screen?

[daring fern]

The joker or the playing cards?

[exotic imp]

card

[daring fern]

Then yes.

[primal robin]

Check Game:update_shop

[exotic imp]

I updated it and it's doing the exact same thing

[normal crest]

Did you save the file

[zinc violet]

ooo hello

I need help with something

do you know how to make a pool of cards?

[exotic imp]

I saved the file, it dissapeard for a second before returning to the same problem

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

Remove the loop and the event.

[exotic imp]

please explain further

[daring fern]

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

[exotic imp]

will that delete the cards in the played hand?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[normal crest]

all of them, unconditionally, you murderer

[zinc violet]

I use this code and the game does not start.
I search in google and I can't find anything

[normal crest]

What is the crash?

if there is one

[zinc violet]

"src/game_object.lua"]:888: attempt to index local 'center' (a nil value)

[daring fern]

You're missing your mod prefix on G.P_CENTERS.j_Dk

[zinc violet]

oooooh

[acoustic briar]

don't think anyone responded to this at the time, so if anyone can give advice on this that'd be great

[exotic imp]

it still stays on screen

[daring fern]

Code?

[hybrid shadow]

how do i have a voucher double the weight of a custom rarity

[zinc violet]

ok the prefix is NS, so as it would go
G.P_CENTERS.j_Dk_NS?

[hybrid shadow]

j_NS_Dk i think

[zinc violet]

oooh thxxxxx

[daring fern]

Did you start a new run?

[exotic imp]

yes

I also saved

[zinc violet]

nop

the same error

[granite nymph]

i really do apologize for asking here so often but does anyone know how to define global value

ive never coded in lua and im still learning

[daring fern]

Code?

[hybrid shadow]

to be clear it does everything but destroy the cards?

[zinc violet]

Could it be that the error is here?

[granite nymph]

SMODS.Joker {
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Guess Who',

            }
    },
    key = ```

[exotic imp]

no it "destroys" the cards

[granite nymph]

give me a second tyhasdts half

can i just send my entire jokers.lua its not all gonna fit

[exotic imp]

it reduces the max of the deck but the cards still exist in the deck

[daring fern]

They shouldn't if you are using context.destroy_card

[hybrid shadow]

lemme see if my joker that destroys cards does this currently

[granite nymph]

just scroll down to guess who

[exotic imp]

it just gets worse the further you continue

[hybrid shadow]

why is there a line gap here anyway

[normal crest]

what version of steamodded are you using

[exotic imp]

idk, it was from when I copied it from this message

[red flower]

wtf

[daring fern]

You are defining G.GAME.current_round.vremade_guesswho_card but you are calling G.GAME.current_round.yip_guesswho_card

[granite nymph]

oh

[red flower]

smods shouldn't be appearing in your mod list

[granite nymph]

also how are you doing that

[acoustic briar]

black magic

[exotic imp]

could this be the reason?

[exotic imp]

doing what

[red flower]

maybe

[hybrid shadow]

what does your actual mods folder look like

[granite nymph]

by define i mean fix this warning

[daring fern]

You are defining and calling 2 different variables.

[daring fern]

You have 2 SMODS

[exotic imp]

could that be the root problem?

[granite nymph]

im trying to call on a unique hand and a unique card

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to change the variables you are calling and defining to be the same.

[exotic imp]

so which one should I delete?

[daring fern]

Try deleting the Steamodded one.

[exotic imp]

the problem is still happening

[hybrid shadow]

delete smods-main and redownload smods

[red flower]

what's the code

[hybrid shadow]

#💻・modding-dev message

[red flower]

yeah it might be your smods version

[sonic cedar]

bump

[urban wasp]

-# why is that end there

[daring fern]

Wasn't the problem that lucky_trigger is hard coded?

[sonic cedar]

i thought that meant i could check for it still? just with false instead of true?

[red flower]

no

it means that you can't hook calculate because it doesn't have one

[sonic cedar]

ohhhhhh

[red flower]

you need to patch where lucky triggers

[sonic cedar]

how can i check for it then?

[sonic cedar]

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

[red flower]

you can also use a calculate_context hook and do what lucky cat does

[sonic cedar]

oh true...

[exotic imp]

nope it's still happening

[red flower]

what's the version?

[hybrid shadow]

bump

[red flower]

can you send the whole joker code

[exotic imp]

I just realized somthing that might be it but tell me if you can find any problems in the code

[red flower]

hmmm no i dont see it
you're restarting the run right?

[lament agate]

also, my plan was this

X1.5 Mult for each Crash Logs saved in your Desktop

so like

uhh

[exotic imp]

yes, I saved a copy of the code that made the card look funny then it changed the file I was editing to be that one instead of the main that's actually in the mod folder

[wooden nexus]

So i got a problem. Every time i create a card using my one seal during the pillar, it gets debuffed but triggers the xmult if it's steel. Is there any way for me to not trigger it?

[lament agate]

so like i change this to smods mod dir or

[hybrid shadow]

how would i write that out? like G.GAME.['key_mod']?

[red flower]

might be related to this
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/issues/699

[zinc violet]

I just deleted the pool code and the game started, but it is as if the joker does not exist, it does not appear in the collection.

[red flower]

so if your rarity is ULTRARARE
it would be G.GAME.ultrarare_mod

maybe modprefix_ultrarare_mod i dont remember

[hybrid shadow]

oh ok lemme see if that works

[red flower]

yeah

[lament agate]

go it

[red flower]

to the code i sent earlier

[lament agate]

got

[wooden nexus]

so where do i put it in this then?

SMODS.Seal {
    key = "Silver",
    atlas = "BCU_centers",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 5},
    config = {extra = {DupeNum = 1, DupeDenom = 2, DupeAmount = 1}},
    discovered = false,
    prefix_config = {
        key = {mod = false}
    },
    badge_colour = HEX('B1B1B1'),
    shiny = true,
    sound = { sound = 'gold_seal', per = 1.2, vol = 0.4 },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {self.config.extra.DupeNum, self.config.extra.DupeDenom}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring then
            for i = 1, self.config.extra.DupeAmount do
        local new_card = copy_card(card, nil, nil, G.playing_card)
        new_card:set_seal(nil)
        new_card:add_to_deck()
        G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
        table.insert(G.playing_cards, new_card)
        playing_card_joker_effects({new_card})
        G.hand:emplace(new_card)
        new_card.states.visible = nil
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                new_card:start_materialize()
                G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(new_card)
                G.hand:sort()
                return true
            end,
        }))
            end
        return {
        playing_cards_created = {new_card}
        }
        end
    end,
}```

[zinc violet]

this is the full code of the joker

the error would be there?

[red flower]

oh no i mean it might be the same smods bug. idk what the solution is

[wooden nexus]

There's a fix in the comment

Method to fix: smods needs to change it so ability.played_this_ante is set somewhere later, like after G.FUNCS.draw_from_play_to_discard() maybe

[red flower]

that's not for modders that's an idea on how to fix it in smods

[hollow sphinx]

am i able to change the edition of a joker card using debug plus?

[wooden nexus]

oh

[red flower]

ctrl + q i believe

[wooden nexus]

it is

[hollow sphinx]

thanks

[wooden nexus]

you could just hold tab and look at the info on the side bar

[hybrid shadow]

didnt work without prefix, gonna add prefix and test again

[quick scarab]

trying to make a enhancement that destroy after 5 usages but it seems to crash the game, any help?

    key = 'pizza',
    atlas = 'Enhancers',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { bonus = 500, uses_left = 5},
    replace_base_card = true,
    no_rank = true,
    no_suit = true,
    always_scores = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.uses_left} }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == card and pseudorandom('pizza') == uses_left then
            return { remove = true }
        else
            card.ability.extra.uses_left = card.ability.extra.hands_left - 1
            return {
                message = card.ability.extra.uses_left .. '',
                colour = G.C.FILTER
            }
        end

    end,
}```

[daring fern]

Log?

[quick scarab]

                name = "Pizza Card",
                text = {
                    "{C:chips}+#1#{} Chips",
                    "no rank or suit",
                    "Expires after {C:attention}#2#{} Usages",
                },
            },```

[hybrid shadow]

no longer crashes and seems to actually be working

[daring fern]

card.ability.extra doesn't exist.

[quick scarab]

in what context

[daring fern]

It's in the card it doesn't exist ever with that enhancement.

[quick scarab]

so how do I fix it?

[daring fern]

You put extra = {} in the config and you put the variables in it.

[chrome widget]

Glad I already made a system for applying global discounts

[lament agate]

assert(SMODS.load_file('PixelOperator-Bold.ttf'))() ? @red flower

[red flower]

no

[zinc violet]

I tried to lengthen the code a little bit but it still gives the same error.

[red flower]

you need to load the file that has the SMODS.Font code

[lament agate]

ohhh

okay

[red flower]

what's the error

[zinc violet]

"src/game_object.lua"]:888: attempt to index local 'center' (a nil value)

[red flower]

i would appreciate the full crash log

[lament agate]

im going to fucking tweak

[zinc violet]

ok wait me a second

[red flower]

is the assert still there

[red flower]

then it didn't load

[lament agate]

how

[zinc violet]

thats all

[red flower]

what's your main file

[red flower]

you can ctrl+c ctrl+v to paste it here as a file btw lol

[glad osprey]

q jumpscare

[zinc violet]

Oh

I didn't know that

[sonic cedar]

does this work?

[red flower]

hmm maybe not because individual might not work there

[sonic cedar]

so just take out individual? i just used the remade lucky cat checks

[red flower]

hmm no it's a bit more complicated then i didnt remember what lucky cat did

i would patch where somethingcom said

[daring fern]

No, scoring playing cards don't get called in SMODS.calculate_context

[red flower]

ok you dont need the load file thing then, it's weird that it's not crashing

[sonic cedar]

oh ok

[lament agate]

it is cursed huh

[daring fern]

Also there is already a count for how many times you have used every consumable on the profile.

[red flower]

can i see the json

[lament agate]

sure

[zinc violet]

+64 mult

[red flower]

that wasn't for you sorry im still reading the log

[red flower]

and can i see the loc_txt

[lament agate]

i

dont have one

[sonic cedar]

it's a custom variable that resets, dw about it it works fine

[red flower]

where are you putting the font then

[lament agate]

assets?

[red flower]

i dont mean a loc file i mean the loc_txt in your joker

[lament agate]

oh wait

closed or not, same result

[red flower]

hmmm i think it's cursed

[lament agate]

god damn you smods

or this font is

let me try other font

[red flower]

if you tried f:5 and it didn't change i dont think it's the font

[glad osprey]

formatting doesnt work in names iirc

[red flower]

it does

[lament agate]

then yeah something's wrong

[red flower]

it's a vanilla feature as well

[lament agate]

yeah no

it doesnt work at all

not even crashing

weird

[red flower]

ok last idea

are you editing the correct file

are you sure you dont have a second copy of your mod

[hybrid shadow]

is there a way to have a deck that starts with certain jokers

[red flower]

in the config add jokers = { "key1", "key2" } etc

[lament agate]

huh it froze

oh wait

@lament agate

fuck

@red flower

[hybrid shadow]

alr lemme see if that works

[hybrid shadow]

youre asserting the loading of the file in the first line of said file

is it looping the loading of itself?

[lament agate]

N told me to put the assert

[red flower]

oh yeah you need to delete the load file thing

[lament agate]

oh

hold

[red flower]

because you don't have multiple files

[lament agate]

both?

[red flower]

yeah

we know it's loading now

[zinc violet]

I used vanilla remade as a base, and the game works but the joker is not in the collection.

[red flower]

is the mod in the mod list?
is this your main file?

[zinc violet]

yes

[lament agate]

thas a good news, bad news is

[red flower]

let's goo

that's probably an issue with the font config

[lament agate]

fuck i dont know how to configure this font

[quick scarab]

it seems like it is starting to count every action that I am doing and decrease the a number, not to mention the fact that the description says nil, and for some reason removing chips?

    key = 'pizza',
    atlas = 'Enhancers',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { bonus = 500, extra = {hands_left = 5}},
    replace_base_card = true,
    no_rank = true,
    no_suit = true,
    always_scores = true,
    shatters = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.hands_left} }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == card and pseudorandom('pizza') == hands_left then
            return { remove = true }
        else
            card.ability.extra.hands_left = card.ability.extra.hands_left - 1
            return {
                message = card.ability.extra.hands_left .. '',
                colour = G.C.FILTER
            }
        end

    end,
}```

[daring fern]

You are not checking for a context when you're decreasing it.

[violet gulch]

context.individual only triggers on scoring cards or played?

[hybrid shadow]

what does it look like rn

[lament agate]

blank

[hybrid shadow]

the font config

[zinc violet]

yep, is activated but at the same time not

[daring fern]

It is true from between the first played card scoring and the last card in the discard scoring.

[lament agate]

render_scale = 1,
TEXT_HEIGHT_SCALE = 1,
TEXT_OFFSET = {x=0,y=0},
FONTSCALE = 0.11,
squish = 1,
DESCSCALE = 1

[hybrid shadow]

is that the full font code

[quick scarab]

how do I check that?

[lament agate]

wait hold on

[daring fern]

When do you want it to decrease?

[sonic cedar]

so where are these located so i can patch into them?

[daring fern]

card.lua

[sonic cedar]

bet

[quick scarab]

when the card is used, basically this works similar to glass card, but instead of a random chance, it has limited usages

[daring fern]

Do you want it to decrease when it scores?

[hybrid shadow]

is there a way to call each individually in loc_vars

[quick scarab]

yeah

and after that destroy

[red flower]

self.config.jokers? im not entirely sure how loc_vars works for a deck

[daring fern]

elseif context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then

Instead of just else

[hybrid shadow]

actually considering how complicated it would be to call for the key's name id probably just have an easier time writing it out manually in the loc file huh

[granite nymph]

i think ill have this joker done by today

[zinc violet]

I just used one of the steammode examples, the game works but the joker still doesn't come out.

[granite nymph]

i just need help wtih this one thing whihc is that other card is a nil value

[zinc violet]

Is it because the main.lua has absolutely nothing in it?

[granite nymph]

yes

[zinc violet]

ohhhhh

[granite nymph]

you could do something like assert(SMODS.load_file("src/jokers.lua"))() assert(SMODS.load_file("src/backs.lua"))() assert(SMODS.load_file("src/blinds.lua"))() assert(SMODS.load_file("src/seals.lua"))() assert(SMODS.load_file("src/vouchers.lua"))() assert(SMODS.load_file("src/enhancements.lua"))() assert(SMODS.load_file("src/tarots.lua"))() assert(SMODS.load_file("src/editions.lua"))() assert(SMODS.load_file("src/spectrals.lua"))() assert(SMODS.load_file("src/challenges.lua"))() assert(SMODS.load_file("src/stakes.lua"))() assert(SMODS.load_file("src/rarities.lua"))()

and of course change the directoryu with the one you store your joker files

file*

[granite nymph]

does anyone know why its calling other_card a nil value??

[lament agate]

how do you check if a score catches on fire

[granite nymph]

i dont know but maybe you could check if score exceeds the boss requirement?

[lament agate]

only boss?

[zinc violet]

lol

[daring fern]

if hand_chips * mult >= G.GAME.blind.chips?

[lament agate]

thanks

[zinc violet]

So, what do I do there?

[granite nymph]

kind of a dumb question but do you have your joker file in a folder called src

[zinc violet]

a

sorry

[granite nymph]

sigh

bumping agian

[daring fern]

Code?

[zinc violet]

mmmmmmmm

[regal ether]

how do i run something when a card is actually destroyed because context.destroy_card is just for marking cards to be destroyed

[hybrid shadow]

youre missing the if statement for when to return the mult

[granite nymph]

scroll down to "--guess who"

its too large to fit inot one message

[zinc violet]

like this?

[hybrid shadow]

no in the calculate function

[daring fern]

context.other_card doesn't exist in context.before

[zinc violet]

this?

[hybrid shadow]

if context.joker_main then inside of the calculate function before the return

[zinc violet]

oooh

now is it? sorry if i'm so insistent

[hybrid shadow]

no, inside as in between the calculate = function(self, card, context) and the return {

[zinc violet]

yep?

o

i forgot the then

[hybrid shadow]

no
line between

[granite nymph]

which ones do then?

[hybrid shadow]

whats the goal of the joker

[lament agate]

is this right?

or

Gives 25$, 1 in 6 chance to set score to whatever

[hybrid shadow]

what is this

[lament agate]

can you set player's score?

[hybrid shadow]

what is calc_dollar_bonus for

[lament agate]

gives $25

but

1 in 6 chances to set players score

[hybrid shadow]

again, what is this? is it a joker, is it a seal, is it an edition, is it an enhancement?

[lament agate]

is it possible

[digital niche]

what do i add to "in_pools" when making new suits to make it only appear in onee deck?

[hybrid shadow]

i mean i know of jokers that can add score but idk abt set score

[lament agate]

hmm

[gray void]

Probably score * -∞

[lament agate]

come again?

[tall wharf]

baya

[unborn bay]

you could just set mult or chips to -math.huge

[tall wharf]

bro is requiring talisman

[digital niche]

how do i check for vanilla suits?

vanilla decks*

[granite nymph]

does anyone know why this joker is not working\

[tall wharf]

no

[glad osprey]

no

[digital niche]

no

[granite nymph]

i was

posting the creenshot

[lament agate]

talisman

[digital niche]

what is it trying to do?

[digital niche]

wait i dont think you have to add the poker hand and sttuff to extra in config?

i could be wrong tho

[hybrid shadow]

why is it G.GAME and not card.ability.extra

[digital niche]

yeah that's what i said, odd loll

[tall wharf]

are you copying idol

[granite nymph]

im basing it off the vanilla remade idol as well as to do list

[granite nymph]

yeah

[granite nymph]

what part?

[zinc violet]

ok this is a step forward

so

[zinc violet]

Why does the image not appear?

[tall wharf]

idk how are you defining it

[hybrid shadow]

do you have an atlas defined

[zinc violet]

I think so

[hybrid shadow]

show code

[hybrid shadow]

joker code

[granite nymph]

not sure how id do the hand reset as well

[hybrid shadow]

do you actually have assets called Banana64.png in your assets folder (inside 1x and 2x)

[zinc violet]

yes

[hybrid shadow]

hmm

[zinc violet]

with their respective dimensions

[hybrid shadow]

actually why is the loc_vars returning nil

[zinc violet]

I have not modified it yet

[hybrid shadow]

wdym

have you not saved your changes

[zinc violet]

like says nil but gives the 64 that i wanted

[hybrid shadow]

your loc_vars should be giving you the same stuff that your mult is = to

since they're both card.ability.extra.mult

[pure salmon]

why does this keep creating evil ghost cards

[zinc violet]

ok

while I configure this, how do I solve the image problem?

[digital niche]

why isnt the colour going?

[zinc violet]

okkkkkkkk

and only the image would be missing and it would be done.

[lament agate]

is it possible for a joker to change sprite each hands

[hybrid shadow]

do i need to define anything in my SMODS.Backs so that center is not nil?

[digital niche]

can i make something like "if something checks for X suit, it will also work with Y suit"?

[hybrid shadow]

i might have got it, i forgot that backs require the full government names of items they call for in config

[hybrid shadow]

yup that was my issue

[pale venture]

Yup, set_sprite_pos()

[oblique pond]

any of yall got a clue on why this makes the card completely blank when hovered over?

[subtle hawk]

I assume it tries to draw the same card multiple times, though I don't understand the code in question since I'm dumb so can't be sure.
Why I think that's the case is that I had a similar(?) issue but with scored cards. I have a card that plays and scores all spades, but I had to make it deselect spades first because otherwise it could select already selected cards and cause existence of evil ass constantly flipped and ghost cards.
I don't think that will help you anyhow but I didn't see anyone experiencing phantom cards except myself so wanted to drop that

[jagged kernel]

hi, is there a way to make a card multiply chips? I've looked through the steammodded documentation and couldn't find anything

I'm very new to modding so I'm sorry if this is an obvious question lmao

[hallow forge]

it's like x_mult

but put x_chips instead

[jagged kernel]

thank you

I'm dumb as hell

[keen totem]

the smods docs arent done

and theyre also evil

so

not really

[oblique pond]

evil fucked up documentation

[umbral zodiac]

sinister & evil

[hallow forge]

not the documentation tho

[jagged kernel]

ouch, guess I just gotta osmosis the knowledge then lol

[keen totem]

this channel exists to ask questions

so youre good anyways

also as i said

smods is evil

and does some of the DUMBEST things

you would never figure out

(you can do Xmult but not Xchips, has to be xchips)

[jagged kernel]

horrific

[keen totem]

(mult is mult but chips are hand_chips)

decks are called backs

the list goes on, balatro is evil

[oblique pond]

this is only a peep of the horror

[stiff quiver]

what am i supposed to put on the source part of SMODS.debuff_card(card, debuff, source), i want it to be from any source ```lua if context.hand_drawn then
for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do
if G.hand.cards[i].edition and G.hand.cards[i].edition.key == "e_negative" then
SMODS.debuff_card(G.hand.cards[i], 'prevent_debuff')
end
end
end

[hybrid shadow]

how would i increase the chances of getting soul/black hole in tarot/planet packs?

[sage crater]

fun fact, if you hit the plus sign next to your message and Upload your message as a file, you can send your text as a file.
in this specific case, you'd also want to rename the file to have the ending .lua so it's easier to read

[umbral zodiac]

what is the relevent card variable for context.selling_card

[daring fern]

context.card

[umbral zodiac]

cool

[oblique pond]

(nvm i got it)

[umbral zodiac]

what formatting would you guys say is best for xhandlevels

[stiff quiver]

I got this crash when opening the full deck menu . I think its this code causing it since there are debuffed cards in the deck and because its the last thing i addedlua if context.hand_drawn then for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do if G.hand.cards[i].edition and G.hand.cards[i].edition.key == "e_negative" then SMODS.debuff_card(G.hand.cards[i], 'prevent_debuff',"any") end end end

[ashen ermine]

Hi, does anybody know how I can set the deck and stake in code, thanks

[daring fern]

You mean force set the deck and stake permanently?

[ashen ermine]

No, just set it once

[echo aurora]

how do you change font sizes for the descriptions?

[daring fern]

{s:number}?

[echo aurora]

do you put this in the localization?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[echo aurora]

Thanks

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know why this straight up doesnt do anything?

it does the level up animation fine, so scoring_name is valid, but it just doesnt gain anything other than hand level

[wintry solar]

Where’s the code?

[umbral zodiac]

heres the full screenshot, calculate function of a joker

[wintry solar]

And whats intended to happen?

[umbral zodiac]

the chips and mult of the hand to go up

before and after, nothing changed except the level

the l_mult and l_chips are going up properly, as shown on planet cards, but its not changing the hand's stats

[wintry solar]

It’s because you’re doing it mid scoring

[umbral zodiac]

when should i do it

[wintry solar]

It won’t take effect on the current score, but should be upgraded for future

context.before if you want it to count for that hand too

[umbral zodiac]

if i use before, will i have to manually make it go through each played card instead of just relying on context.other_card

[wintry solar]

Yes

[umbral zodiac]

ok cool

thanks

[pale holly]

Okay so i tried to change my joker code so instead to directly check if it's a shodown boss blind it'll check instead if the Ante is a multiple of 8 or not when entering the boss blind, if yes then the card destroy itself, otherwise x5 mult, but now i have this error that for some reason impact outside of my joker's code
I'm not so sure how or why mult suddently is a nil value now

    key = "goldkey",

[umbral zodiac]

yeah so it still doesnt actually do anything to the hand chips & mult lmao

[hollow sphinx]

trying to make a joker that retriggers all instances of a different joker, but I think something is wrong with my contexts because nothing prints. I have already set up the optional feature for joker retriggers and have gotten it to work on other things

[hollow sphinx]

narrowed down the issue to the "if card.config.center.key == "joker" then" section of the code, because "bb" prints just fine while "aa" doesn't

[manic rune]

card.config.center.key refers to the "goldkey" joker

so yes, that will never run

[hollow sphinx]

do you know what I could replace it with so that it would work?

[umbral zodiac]

proobabbblyyy context.other_joker

im not actually fully sure but that sounds about right

[manic rune]

change card with context.other_card

[umbral zodiac]

bepis is probably more right than i am

[hollow sphinx]

works perfectly

tysm

[manic rune]

np :p

[subtle merlin]

how would i add a card back to the hand that was just discarded or is about to be discarded? (either or)

[daring fern]

Draw the top of the discard or patch G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted I think.

[modern kindle]

Looking at u rn

[manic rune]

hi dilly

wait what time is it over there

[modern kindle]

Hi bestie

It is 0234

[manic rune]

😭

why r u up so late

[modern kindle]

I haven't been able to sleep well lately:(

Usually 4 am or so

[manic rune]

oof

[modern kindle]

I am laying in bed tho

[manic rune]

that cant be healthy, i hope u can sleep better soon
-# this is coming from someone who sleeps at 3 am daily btw

[modern kindle]

I am appreciative
Im sure on Monday things will even out cause I'll have access to melatonin

But I'm in hotel with gf rn without it

So no sleepy time meds

[manic rune]

thats nice

r things getting better on your side

[modern kindle]

Unfortunately quite literally 0 change

[pale holly]

bump

[modern kindle]

But I am doing my best

[manic rune]

oof

[manic rune]

change Xmult_mod to xmult, remove message and start a new run

[manic rune]

thats good to hear, i really hope everything goes well sob

[modern kindle]

I hope it do
Tomorrow we will go to a water park i think so things will be off my mind for a bit

[manic rune]

oo nice

[modern kindle]

Unless for some reason mid water park I come here to see you cool people

[manic rune]

:3

[pale holly]

Still the same error, did a new run and removed the message and changed xmult_mod to xmult but does the same thing when selecting the blind

[manic rune]

oh wait

yeah, probably not a good idea to return mult in context.setting_blind

[pale holly]

oh i guess that could explain, though not sure how come mult became a nil value out of sudden

[subtle merlin]

idk the parameters of draw_card...

[pale holly]

Should i just then remove the context.setting_blind ?

[manic rune]

use context.joker_main and return mult in there

[pale holly]

i'll go test it, thanks

It works now thanks !

[wintry solar]

FYI, checking for a multiple of 8 doesn’t guarantee a showdown boss blind

[subtle merlin]

draw_card(G.discard, G.hand, 90, 'up', nil, discarded_card)?

[pale holly]

Ah i see thanks for the info

[uncut cloud]

i'm loosing my mind ive been trying to find out whats wrong for a while
how would yall go about duplicating every joker held?

second image is what a singular joker does

3rd and 4th image are before and after (joker self destructs)

[daring fern]

You would use copy_card on every joker.

[subtle merlin]

last thing before checking if this works: is there a way to make it only once per card per blind?

[daring fern]

Yes, flag every card that you redraw.

[uncut cloud]

what the hell just

i'll try to fix this

[daring fern]

Code?

[uncut cloud]

i think i know what i did

gimme a second i may have removed the emplace by accident

adding emplace makes the same thing as last time

[uncut cloud]

removing emplace makes this

lemme send the code rq

[wintry solar]

It’s because you’re looping over a table that you keep adding to

[uncut cloud]

that's it

that's got to be it

i could try to make a local table that holds all the data from the start of the blind and get the info from there

[subtle merlin]

like:

if context.discarded then
    local redo = false
    if discarded_card.ability == G.P_CENTERS.m_fm_overshield and redo = false then
        draw_card(G.discard, G.hand, 90, 'up', nil, discarded_card)
        redo = true
    end
end

?

[uncut cloud]

theres probably a better way to do that than what im thinking but it should work

[daring fern]

No, also that statement will always be false.

[pine sun]

ill see what i can do!

[daring fern]

I meant put a flag on the card like card.ability.flagged = true

[subtle merlin]

im almost 100% missing something here bc i keep thinking of that as similar to my above code despite knowing it isn't.

Would it be just replacing the variable up there with card.ability.flagged?
-# (I doubt it but its my only idea)

[daring fern]

No.

discarded_card.ability == G.P_CENTERS.m_fm_overshield will never be true.

Also did you define context.discarded?

Also discarded_card doesn't exist.

[subtle merlin]

Noted, i won't trust VS autocorrect again (it said both of those already existed)

[stiff quiver]

How can i check if a card is flipped down?

[subtle merlin]

in that case we're back here
-# (how would i do either of these?)

[daring fern]

if card.facing == 'back'

[stiff quiver]

thanks!

[uncut cloud]

alright something's wrong here

[daring fern]

You need to do ```lua
for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do
--- code here
end

[uncut cloud]

ah

that would make sense

lemme try that

[zenith sage]

how would one check for the score (total chips x mult) scored by the current hand only

[daring fern]

hand_chips * mult?

[subtle merlin]

Looking at older messages got me to this

[uncut cloud]

huh

last image avoids the crash but does exactly the same as what happened last time, aka the big wait plus the joker coming back

[daring fern]

Why is card.ability.flagged outside the joker?

[daring fern]

No, remove tablecopy replace the main loop with that.

[molten musk]

morning folks

[uncut cloud]

did that so it wouldnt loop on itself but alright i'll try that

[subtle merlin]

idk, i thought if i flagged it inside the joker it might be set back to false before the end of the blind

[uncut cloud]

it was actually the first thing i tried to do before i went down the madness ive been going down tryna get it to work cuz i thought i did it wrong

[subtle merlin]

but does checking if the scoring hand is nil work for checking if a hand is discarded?

i saw it mentioned awhile back in the channel

[daring fern]

Any ability table of a card will never be the same as a center.

[molten musk]

G.GAME.LastTriggeredSeal = card.seal``` 
added this as a global variable to read last triggered seal
but crashes the game

[faint yacht]

Original center may not have self.config.farts, for example, but a Joker can set card.ability.farts.

[subtle merlin]

im confused on what this is in reference to

[subtle merlin]

ahh, oki

[molten musk]

what do i do?

[daring fern]

Yes, but also centers have properties that cards don't have.

[daring fern]

You are trying to get the seal of a nil value because card doesn't exist.

[molten musk]

but shouldnt card exist as a global var in the game files?
or am i understanding it wrong?

[zenith sage]

whats the context for the current blind requirement

[daring fern]

No.

[molten musk]

i see

[daring fern]

There are many cards, so why would one random card be global?

[molten musk]

true

[stiff quiver]

I'm sometimes getting this crash when opening the full deck menu. It doesn't seem to be happening consistently. It only happens when there's a negative card in the deck. I think this is the part of the code that is causing it. lua if context.hand_drawn then for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do if G.hand.cards[i].edition and G.hand.cards[i].edition.key == "e_negative" and G.hand.cards[i].debuff then SMODS.debuff_card(G.hand.cards[i], 'prevent_debuff',"any") G.hand:change_size(1) end if G.hand.cards[i].edition and G.hand.cards[i].edition.key == "e_negative" and card.facing == 'front' then G.hand.cards[i]:flip() end end end

[molten musk]

for some reason, i thought 'card' is a global var that stores last triggered card

dont know why thought that

[uncut cloud]

did it, the joker being in the first slot now crashes the game completely again

[faint yacht]

For getting last triggered seal... perhaps a Card:calculate_seal(context) hook could be of use.

[molten musk]

im new, explain more please 🤔

whats hook

[daring fern]

https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/

[molten musk]

thx

[daring fern]

That would work for seals that are not blue or gold or ones that don't return anything.

[molten musk]

oh

i want it to work for all seals

[faint yacht]

Some seals don't really have a "function" of their own, instead being the condition for something to happen.

Like such.

[molten musk]

so?

they dont have a function? so? cant hook?

[daring fern]

It would work for most seals.

[faint yacht]

Seals that actively do stuff is what you are likely to focus on.

[molten musk]

u said it wont work on gold blue or purple

[daring fern]

Yes, because Gold and Blue are hard coded.

[molten musk]

this

[uncut cloud]

i'll attempt this again tomorrow

[molten musk]

i mean, i have an idea that works, but not mod compat

i add a variable that is saved localy inside each seal code

it will save last triggered one

[daring fern]

That would require patching.

[molten musk]

yep

but works

but im trying to get it be mod compat

thats why im searching for a way to read/save last triggered seal whatever it may be

[uncut cloud]

the only way i could think of that is somehow saving the last hand played and checking trough the seals of each played card and replace the value you're saving your seal in each card except if it has no seal then you could probably do whatever with the last seal played

i mean like
saving the last hand played in a table

and checking what cards were played

[molten musk]

but not all seals are played

some trigger in hand

[uncut cloud]

then checking trough the seals in those cards

[molten musk]

or discard

[uncut cloud]

ah

right

i mean you COULD check absolutely everything but that would be hell to code in

[daring fern]

The only way to know a seal has triggered is if it returns something.

[uncut cloud]

even then that'd be no mod compat probably

i just cant think of a good way to get it done tbh since seals are very different one from the other

[uncut cloud]

dont mind my schizo ramblings its 6 am over here and im gonna go to sleep i'll try my thing again tomorrow to see what's wrong with it

cyall

[stiff quiver]

this is supposed to flip negative cards that are face down but its not working, whats wrong?

for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do
        if G.hand.cards[i].edition and G.hand.cards[i].edition.key == "e_negative" and card.facing == 'back' then
          G.hand.cards[i]:flip()
        end
end

[molten musk]

what exactly do u mean by return something?

like a value in code?

[faint yacht]

You know how Jokers can return { chips = 50 } and such?

[molten musk]

yep

[wintry solar]

This is checking that the joker is flipped

[faint yacht]

Basically that, but with seals.

[molten musk]

blue purple and gold return something? right?

red just retriggeres

[daring fern]

Yes, but Gold and Blue are hard coded, they require patching.

[stiff quiver]

oh yeah my bad, thanks

[faint yacht]

'cause how would you account for this?

[molten musk]

i give up on mod compat, just gonna go with the other idea

just making sure, patching: i copy same original code and modify a bit ?

[daring fern]

No.

[molten musk]

hmm, can u tell me then?

[daring fern]

It means using lovely to change some of the games code.

[molten musk]

hmm, is it hard?

[zenith sage]

my seal is not using the correct atlas and im not sure why 😔

[daring fern]

Some say it is, I thought it was, but it doesn't seem that hard.

[molten musk]

will look it up

[subtle merlin]

Going back to something from yesterday or the day before that i thought was solved: this code keeps saying 'end' expected (to close 'if' on line 2062) near '=', but i have an end on the next line?
-# went to another issue bc if i work too long on a single issue this late then i burn out

[wintry solar]

elseif has no space

[bitter pasture]

Classic

[subtle merlin]

long sigh at my blindness ty

[teal token]

help me, I want to replace a Perkeo code, instead of copy 1 negative consumable card to a joker one

[subtle merlin]

wait, thats the wrong issue, line 2062-2064 are for some reason

[zenith sage]

does anyone know why

SMODS.Atlas {
    key = "Enhancers",
    path = "Enhancers.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}

this is using the vanilla enhancers atlas

when there is an Enhancers.png in my assets folder

[wintry solar]

Your return should also be in a table

[ashen ermine]

Hi, asked before but no answer, how can I set the deck type and stake on this menu in code? Thanks!

[subtle merlin]

if it's isnt one thing it's another apparently, this is the crash now but all i have after line 2067 (the bracket at the end) are lines that i KNOW i commented out

[molten musk]

blank crashes when i try to trigger it

[daring fern]

Try changing it to G.P_SEALS instead of SMODS.Seals

[molten musk]

ok

nope still same crash

[daring fern]

Log?

[daring fern]

Line?

[daring fern]

You need to set it to the key not the name.

modprefix_key

[molten musk]

G.P.SEALS [ modprefix_key] ........```

like this??

[daring fern]

No, when you are setting it to Jade you should be setting it to modprefix_Jade

[molten musk]

oh u mean when i save the var

it worked ^^

thx
