well im very lost on how to create a value in a save in the first place

[sonic cedar]

well I mean for me in my main file I have
G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].variable = variable or 0

[gentle rain]

ohhhhh that makes a lot of sense

[sonic cedar]

👍

[digital pier]

so first time coder here

what the hell am i meant to do

i know all the other things just not the coding

[digital pier]

thanks :)

[willow nimbus]

bumping

[sonic cedar]

I didn’t even know that was a thing

[digital pier]

ok so i got all the resources, how do i open my .lua file (srry if i'm being annoying i just have alot of ideas rn)

[gentle rain]

cardsauce has a config that changes the background, you can reference that

[gentle rain]

visual studio code

[digital pier]

ok thx vros!!!!!! :)

[willow nimbus]

is cardsauce a dependency you can add to your mods?

[gentle rain]

nah lol, its a content mod

[willow nimbus]

oh i see

[frigid cargo]

is there a code that can randomize a number between 2 numbers and all the values between it? cause i tried psuedorandom for 0.5 and 2 but for some reason it only gives 0.5, 1.5, and 2.5 so i wanted to know if theres any way to make it so its numbers literally between 0.5 and 2

[sturdy compass]

Technically you can but it's not a great idea to do for one feature

[keen totem]

whats the use case of this?

cause that matters

usually id just opt for getting a value between 5 and 20 then dividing it by 10

so its 0.1 increments

[frigid cargo]

ah

[frigid cargo]

im trying to make a card where the joker randomized its xmult from numbers between 0.5 and 2

ill try what you said

[digital pier]

i will be coming back here very often bc i'm new to any form of coding besides scratch one singular time

[hybrid shadow]

bump

[frigid cargo]

it works now thanks

[sturdy compass]

That's what we're here for. Welcome to the hobby

[sonic cedar]

there is no escape

[sturdy compass]

LMAO

[sonic cedar]

MWAHAHAHAHAH

[faint yacht]

Technically there is always escape.

[sturdy compass]

Don't tell them that

[faint yacht]

At that point, though, you're buried.

[modern kindle]

I turned off the escape button, not anymore

[sonic cedar]

The big red one?

[modern kindle]

There was a big red one?

I hit the big black button

[sonic cedar]

there was a black one?

[modern kindle]

[sonic cedar]

It was a good run

[modern kindle]

[hybrid shadow]

me when someone unbinds esc so i gotta alt f4 every time:

[sonic cedar]

me when someone unbinds esc so I have to dust off my mouse

[modern kindle]

Quick guys open console and type unbind all it gives you a cool skin

[hybrid shadow]

me when someone unbinds esc (i play on controller):

[willow nimbus]

idk if this is described in the documentation anywhere but is there a function that runs when i open a run

like hitting the continue button

[sonic cedar]

OH RIGHT I CAME TO ASK AN ACTUAL QUESRION 😭

[hybrid shadow]

lmao

[sonic cedar]

doesn’t it use the same one as when you start a regular one

(Unrelated)

okay so calculate_context has 2 parameters, the second being return_table

what is that

[willow nimbus]

what is the function that runs when you start a regular run?

i didnt know it existed

[hybrid shadow]

id imagine that its just whats inside the return table?

[sonic cedar]

madam what

[hybrid shadow]

returns are a table are they not?

[vale glen]

Y'know how you have return {mult = whatever} sometimes in code

It's that

[sonic cedar]

ok but what’s the usage of it in

the parameter

[vale glen]

If ya wanna access code from within the calculated context, in the function you called SMODS.calculate_context() in

Just like how you'd want return {mult = whatever} to change the mult outside of the calculated context

[digital pier]

so i wanna make a joker that changes stone cards to give 250 chips instead of 50 how do i do that

or atleast what do i reference

[vale glen]

Look into SMODS's wiki, the Calculate Functions page should help

[digital pier]

thank

[vale glen]

Searching this channel for keywords related to your goal can help too

[sonic cedar]

should be Game:start_run if Im not mistaken

[willow nimbus]

perfect, thanks

[sonic cedar]

can you give a minor example
asking in case this can help with trigger amount

[vale glen]

Is this example too smol

[sonic cedar]

oh thats what goes in the

ok

[subtle merlin]

How can you find if you win the round on your last hand?

[sonic cedar]

so this won’t help with like
Preventing multi triggers

[sonic cedar]

just see if your hands was equal to 0 at the end of the round

[vale glen]

Haven't worked with retrigger things before, so dunno much about it

[sonic cedar]

no thats the thing

It’s not supposed to retrigger at all

but the custom context is getting called twice any time I use it

but only in scoring

[vale glen]

Ah, what is your code?

[sonic cedar]

incoming

[vale glen]

Wondering if it's one of the ones where you just add and context.main_eval to the condition and it'll be fine

[sonic cedar]

I tried that it didn’t work

[vale glen]

Mkay, so it's a different context then

[sonic cedar]

I can put it back in though

[subtle merlin]

funny story-

[vale glen]

Nah, let's describe what you want your card to do, then show the code

[sonic cedar]

in this instance, whenever a lucky card triggers this card gains xmult
that part works
the problem is it does it twice

so instead of 2-> 20

it's 2 -> 200

[digital pier]

ok wait can i open two main.lua;s at the same time

[sonic cedar]

if you want

[sonic cedar]

main_eval version

[brittle tide]

Is it possible to code this?

[vale glen]

What is the chudhit context for? Would probably just put the xmult calculation and return in the if statement, in place of the SMODS.calculate_context call.

[sonic cedar]

This is why I said in this instance, because it also applies to

The other probabilities

“Well what about glass? That’s scoring too!” glass_trigger wasnt coded

[frigid cargo]

How do I reference what enhancements do or smth like that. For example, i wanna say foil card do smth in the context and I wanna put what foil does. How do I implement that?

[sonic cedar]

Come again

[vale glen]

Does has_enhancement work for your needs?

[gentle rain]

this function should decide if the currently viewed deck in the new run menu is playable. if the name of the deck is b_joey_honkifex then it shouldn't be selectable, yet it is. it works fine with locked decks, but is unable to check if this has a certain name. im really lost

[frigid cargo]

what does that mean?

[vale glen]

...Confused. Normally Axy would do the SMODS.calculate_context call in a Lovely patch, then check for that context separately inside a Joker's calculate function.

[gentle rain]

the name of the deck in question is the same as the one it's checking...

[sonic cedar]

I did that for literally every joker that uses probabilities, but this is for lucky cards themselves

The enhancement

[gentle rain]

this is so frustrating auuuaaaagh

[subtle merlin]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Enhancement#util-methods

[sonic cedar]

the cat,,,

[vale glen]

It's in utils.lua in the code

[digital pier]

holy shit i'm actually having fun learning this

[vale glen]

yeah, coding is fun :3

[digital pier]

i thought this was gnna be hell on earth to figure out but

[frigid cargo]

ah i think i kinda understand

[sonic cedar]

I give her 5 minutes

[frigid cargo]

ok thanks

[subtle merlin]

How does one find the current hand count? Bc hands_remaining doesn't work but it's all i found

[subtle merlin]

It's fun if ur not dumb 276% of the time :3

[vale glen]

Try G.GAME.current_round.hands_left

[sonic cedar]

it’s this one

[digital pier]

oh shit 😨

i'm dumb for atleast like 19 hours of the day

[subtle merlin]

(that was reffering to myself, no one else bc no one here is as dumb as me)

[subtle merlin]

try 22

[sonic cedar]

is that a challenge

[subtle merlin]

Yes >:3

[sonic cedar]

try 25

[subtle merlin]

You can't be awake 25 hours unless you drink 5 "5-hour-energy"s

[subtle merlin]

That worked, ty :3

[vale glen]

yay

[vale glen]

Could you please print(context) in the code block that's running twice, and you don't want it to?

[sonic cedar]

I don’t know which one it i—the gain block

on it

[vale glen]

Because rn that code feels too complicated for what Axy thinks you want to do, but you might have good reason for writing it that way

[lament agate]

how do you use randomized text for loc txt

description

like

misprint

[sturdy compass]

Honestly genius debugging move. I feel silly not thinking of it

the print of course printed twice

w

[vale glen]

The loc_vars variable can take a function that can do whatever you want to a card, but mayyybe looking at Vanilla Remade's version of Misprint might help?

[sonic cedar]

why are there 3

[vale glen]

That's the best part of coding

Being silly

[sturdy compass]

tru dat

[sonic cedar]

truth nado

[lament agate]

let me be clear

[vale glen]

Hehe, of course the Abby from Mindwave reacts to that xD

[lament agate]

let me be queer

vanillaremade misprint contains NOTHING

[sonic cedar]

where are you AT 😭

[sturdy compass]

loc_vars, not the localization file

[sonic cedar]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/d519ea2c28a92ab0abc08a8a83fc7cd8d998d411/src/jokers.lua#L617

[vale glen]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L617

[sturdy compass]

I wish more people know putting <> around links suppresses embeds

[vale glen]

Oh, do we want to suppress embeds

Axy knows about that, just didn't bother with it

[sonic cedar]

i am actually incredibly aware i just dont

[lament agate]

man, i just wanted to add that text alongside with normal text:<

is it not possible?

[gentle rain]

got a blue screen

do i get an award

[sonic cedar]

no

[sturdy compass]

no

[lament agate]

fuck my life

gruhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[sonic cedar]

grug

[vale glen]

You can see how they're doing that in loc_vars

[sonic cedar]

astra you legend

[sturdy compass]

Blue screen is usually a result of a bad lovely patch

[sturdy compass]

I have anything and everything

[gentle rain]

i see

[sonic cedar]

i said that and realized i literally have it

[sturdy compass]

LOL

[lament agate]

fuck misprint

imma try something else

do i look like i know what a jpeg is

[sonic cedar]

you look like you collect polaroids

[lament agate]

im cooking

[vale glen]

Do you have any other cards that are calling the chudhit context and setting it to true, in your code?

[gentle rain]

• This sprite is pissing me off

• Im the original Starwalker

[lament agate]

ooooh, thats a good one

[sturdy compass]

LMAO

[sonic cedar]

yes actually (last one is an ownership)

[vale glen]

Hm. Is it possible that one of those definitions is being set to true when you don't want it to, for the card you're currently working on?

[gentle rain]

HELL YES

[sturdy compass]

banger

[hybrid shadow]

baller

[sonic cedar]

maybe?? All I do is:
start run
Grab joker
Enter blind
Change enhancement of a card to lucky
Copy said card a billion times
Play high card until a lucky card triggers
Cry when it double triggers

[vale glen]

What does a lucky card do again?

[sonic cedar]

1 in 5 for 20 mult, 1 in 15 for 20 bucks

[lament agate]

should i use the deltarune font tho

it looks off

[vale glen]

Hmmm. Let's try print(inspect(context)) next, inside of your code block.

Then look at the two prints side by side.

[sonic cedar]

got it

[sturdy compass]

Reminder that individual goes off during end_of_round as well

[vale glen]

Axy hasn't worked with that context at all, so am unfamiliar with it.

[sonic cedar]

true! i am aware!

[sturdy compass]

pain

[lament agate]

the config is a bit sloppy i think

[lament agate]

you

yes you

[vale glen]

Yunli noises

[sonic cedar]

just in case

[sturdy compass]

Toma goes off the deep end

[sonic cedar]

goes?

[sturdy compass]

went*

[sonic cedar]

[lament agate]

oh it shows

alright good enough

now i need to make it to play a sound when bought

[sonic cedar]

i mean surely right

…

The first high card

[sturdy compass]

I just took a look at my own joker that checks for lucky triggers and doesn't double trigger and I have not context.after for some reason? I wonder if that's helping

[sonic cedar]

[sonic cedar]

Oo

[vale glen]

Still waiting on the print inspect

[sonic cedar]

Oh right mb

[sturdy compass]

I don't know why I have that tbh but it could be worth trying

[sonic cedar]

INFO - [G] main_eval: true
chudhit: true

INFO - [G] main_eval: true
chudhit: true

INFO - [G] main_eval: true
chudhit: true

three

[vale glen]

Hm, so looking at context doesn't help tell them apart

[sonic cedar]

gonna try the after thing

[vale glen]

Am suspecting it's because you called SMODS.calculate_context{chudhit = true} for every different card, even though Axy would have named them differently, or added more things rather than just chudhit = true in there to give more information.

Maybe that's not the case, but it's hard to rule out atm.

[sturdy compass]

This is the block btw. Only difference is the after and the fact I'm checking for a lack of a lucky_trigger

[sonic cedar]

yeah lmao

surely

[sonic cedar]

i mean all else i could put there is return_table

[sturdy compass]

surely

[sonic cedar]

eternal pain that I did all that and it triggered on the first lucky card

funniest shit all day but eternal pain

[vale glen]

Is it only triggering once now?

[sonic cedar]

i have to reboot the game first

[sturdy compass]

ouchie

[sonic cedar]

Was talking about this

(This will not stop me from doing it again)

[vale glen]

You use Alt+F5 to reboot the game, yes?

[zinc violet]

ok i have a problem

game works normally but does not detect the joker

[sonic cedar]

Ofc

[zinc violet]

I tried to do something using joker banana code but it still doesn't detect it.

[sonic cedar]

what did you DO astra

[sturdy compass]

?????????????????????????????????????????

[sonic cedar]

it's not like i triggered the mult and the money

it's JUST

the MULT

[zinc violet]

what I am trying to do is to have the joker divide the total score of the boss blind by 3

like

boss blind score/3

[sonic cedar]

Wdym it doesn’t detect the joker though

[vale glen]

Like, not find in collection, not find the mod, not trigger when held while in game...

[sonic cedar]

just use context.blind.boss

[zinc violet]

oh

[vale glen]

Do use context.blind and context.blind.boss, to make sure a blind exists

[sonic cedar]

Thats where setting_blind comes in no?

since it’s for the start of a blind?

[vale glen]

Ah, was thinking you were replacing the entire statement, not just part of it

Oops

[zinc violet]

this

[sonic cedar]

yeah just the boss thing the guy had cause that was a finicky way to do it

[sonic cedar]

Those are three options???

[vale glen]

Those are three separate problems

[zinc violet]

the first

[sturdy compass]

Do you have any other Jokers or is this your only one

[sonic cedar]

banana

[zinc violet]

only one of a banana (not gros or cavendish) that gives 64 of mult and that's it.

[sturdy compass]

Ok. I ask because I wanted to see if it was a mod problem or a joker problem lol

[vale glen]

Sounds like a mod problem atm

[sturdy compass]

Do you have a metadata file

[zinc violet]

I don't think so

[sturdy compass]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[zinc violet]

oh

yes, yes I keep it

[sturdy compass]

This is crucial for your mod getting detected by Steamodded

[vale glen]

Anyways yeah... Axy personally wouldn't use chudhit for every different thing you want to do. This pattern makes debugging harder, as you're seeing now. Using different names like chudhit_bloodstone or chudhit_hallucination would make things easier to trace.

[zinc violet]

oh, no, the mod detects it, what it doesn't detect is a joker I just made.

[sturdy compass]

I don't think that's the problem and that solution would just add clutter

[sage crater]

send your code

[sonic cedar]

what so create a separate calc context for each one? That seems like clu—ok astra

[sage crater]

in a code block or file, please

[sturdy compass]

Is this new joker in a file seperate from your main file?

[zinc violet]

yes

[sage crater]

that would be why haha

[zinc violet]

oh

wait

thats not

[vale glen]

Hm... Labeling different reusable contexts with different names isn't clutter to Axy, but it's fine if y'all see it differently.

[sturdy compass]

Both of your jokers have the key joker2

That makes one override the other

[zinc violet]

ou

[sage crater]

also I recommend removing this and creating a .json file

[zinc violet]

okk

[sage crater]

instructions on setup can be found in this link

[sturdy compass]

tee hee

[zinc violet]

simply rename to joker3?

[sage crater]

anything you want

[sturdy compass]

whatever you see fit

[zinc violet]

ooooooo

[sage crater]

personally, I recommend a key that is close to the name

[sturdy compass]

generic names like 'joker2' or 'joker3' will bite you in the long run

[zinc violet]

I'm going to see if it works

[sage crater]

for funky mode, funkyMode is good
for Oh Banana! ohBanana is probably good

[vale glen]

Hm... wondering how this talk about having non-generic keys is different from the talk about not using the same context name for different things.

[sturdy compass]

it is lol

[zinc violet]

oooook its works

thanks for your help

very thanks

[sonic cedar]

it’s like if I said “use context.joker_main for this guy, context.joker_main 2 for the next, etc etc”

[sturdy compass]

Imagine each joker had their own joker_main context

that would get hairy

[sonic cedar]

I would end it

correction

My laptop would explode

[zinc violet]

the joker failed successfully, I guess

[sonic cedar]

im a hypocrite btw

[sturdy compass]

[zinc violet]

I will try another boss blind

[sonic cedar]

the FIRST

[vale glen]

Right, but these aren't just joker_main, they're for when different cards trigger like bloodstone, cavendish, Space Joker, and so on. At the moment, there's no added stuff in the context table to differentiate them, like having {chudhit = true, bloodstone = true} or something.

[sonic cedar]

CARD

[zinc violet]

okkkkkk

works quite well, a bit unpredictable at the first try, but fine.

[sonic cedar]

they're unneeded
especially since the only thing in the actual return table is the message
the hit is just checking for if one hits
it doesnt need to know which

[vale glen]

Ah

[sturdy compass]

For sure

[sonic cedar]

hence why 4 of them (the screenshots) are just patches

wof wouldve been one but i had already taken ownership for an unlock so

just use it again lmao

[vale glen]

So it wants to happen regardless of which card activates, and could activate for multiple of them, huh...

[sonic cedar]

yeah it just calls the context in appropriate circumstance

yet for some reason when it comes to scoring

ONLY scoring

[vale glen]

Okay, that explains that pattern then

[sonic cedar]

it triggers multiple times

well

more than it does already

[sturdy compass]

I wonder if you calling the context in the middle of the card scoring is causing it? maybe instead of calling the context you just do the scaling within that conditional instead

It'd be functionally the same

[sonic cedar]

deviation from lucky cat it is

[vale glen]

Hmmmm

[sonic cedar]

wait so then when am I calling it

[vale glen]

Knowing which patch is being triggered would be helpful for debugging, here... Bleh

[sonic cedar]

none of them

[sturdy compass]

Just don't call it during your lucky conditional. Just do the same scaling you do as if it were chudhit

[sonic cedar]

I see

Let’s see

surely

[vale glen]

Will it be five now

[sonic cedar]

no

it’ll WORK

[vale glen]

yayyyy

[sonic cedar]

Im trying. To get the money to trigger

[sturdy compass]

I big brained it

[sonic cedar]

now to recheck with literally everything else because I’m paranoid

another two notes to add to my credits….

[vale glen]

Hm, so what was the change in the end?

Trying to understand why that worked, and why the previous one didn't work.

[sonic cedar]

just dont call the context

use the gain directly instead

[vale glen]

Like, in terms of lines of code

So we can just look at them side by side

[vale glen]

Ah

[sonic cedar]

astra why do you have 5 notes

stop being helpful

[vale glen]

Didn't you want that context to be true in that case, though?

[sturdy compass]

No

:)

[sonic cedar]

all that changed was i took the code FROM the context

and put it in the conditional

instead of calling it to do that

im guessing cause it was in the same joker

instead of external

gdi astra you already have a chud credit

[sturdy compass]

[solemn hamlet]

how do you download mods on mac

[vale glen]

Right, but now if you have any other card that wants to activate when any chudhit is true, it won't work with the way you've set this up

Hmmm

[sturdy compass]

That's not true

She kept the chudhit conditional too

It's just the lucky card edge case that was screwing with things

[vale glen]

Ah, she did? Dun see it in the first picture

[sturdy compass]

cuz it cropped

[sonic cedar]

?

[vale glen]

Oh

[sonic cedar]

not trying to break the whole thing 😭

[sonic cedar]

youve reached n' levels of helping we gotta get rid of you

[sturdy compass]

Ah hell nah

[vale glen]

Hm, so this code would have the mult gain and return it in the joker main context. And the card also prints out "triggered joker", and the appropriate message.

[sonic cedar]

nvm miscounted 1 off

[sonic cedar]

i forgot to remove the print

oops

[serene granite]

ahh i am getting the thing where the jokers are being created from my consumable but its just like, over the game. like i can move them but they arent scoring anything. how do i fix this

[vale glen]

Does the print happen only once, actually?

[sonic cedar]

i know that thinking face anywhere hi somecom

[sonic cedar]

ofc not

but now it's doing the NORMAL double triggering that instead of fixing i did a work around by using the square root of 10 as my xmult gain

[sonic cedar]

did you emplace

[serene granite]

emplace? sry im rly new to this

i saw something about g.jokers? i think

[sonic cedar]

actually no you dont even have to

[vale glen]

What function are you using, create_card or add_card? The latter emplaces for you, when given a Card Area to put it in

[serene granite]

add card

[sonic cedar]

is it like judgement? cause if it is, use add_card

oh

[serene granite]

yeah its like judgement

[sturdy compass]

Is it SMODS.add_card tho

[sonic cedar]

TRUE

[serene granite]

no it wasnt

is that why ?

[sonic cedar]

oof

yes

[vale glen]

Using SMODS when possible is preferred

[serene granite]

ohh ok

[vale glen]

...Forgot that vanilla has an add card function too

[serene granite]

ok let me see if this works better then !

[vale glen]

Alright, so things are working as desired now. Yay.

[sonic cedar]

I can finally rest…

[vale glen]

Apologies for not being helpful this time.

[sonic cedar]

Cough cough it’s 3 am cough

[vale glen]

Good time to code

[sonic cedar]

My credits say otherwise but ok

[sturdy compass]

It was confusing for everyone lol

Don’t be too hard on yourself

[vale glen]

ouh

Axy is in the credits now?

Was thinking you just had multiple entries for Astra

[sonic cedar]

Both are true

[vale glen]

[sonic cedar]

Greed has consumed him

[vale glen]

Well um, thank you for feeling Axy was helpful

[sonic cedar]

Thank you for being helpful

[sturdy compass]

Damn guess I’ll let you hang out to dry next time smh /j

[sonic cedar]

HELP

[vale glen]

xD

[sonic cedar]

i forgot revo hi revo

[vale glen]

Huh... Axy felt like since they couldn't solve the problem, and was stuck on what chudhit was intended to do for most of this time, that they weren't helpful. But somehow we were considered to have helped.

[sturdy compass]

Revo the goat

[sonic cedar]

has done NOTHING and made it anyway what a prodigy

[sturdy compass]

Fr

[vale glen]

yay

[sonic cedar]

it was literally your printchecks

i would not have known it was four triggers

[vale glen]

Oh, yay

[sonic cedar]

he's here too ig

[vale glen]

Pft, it's not that bad haha

[sturdy compass]

LMAO

But yeah could be way worse

[sonic cedar]

yandev

[vale glen]

Yandev's code could be performant on specific hardware actually, even though it looks bad

[sonic cedar]

yeah a toshiba microwave

[sturdy compass]

[sonic cedar]

[vale glen]

Surely, we can code Balatro on a microwave

The fire is the food burning

Because your chips and mult set the cook time

[sonic cedar]

my DINNER 😭

"hold on man im getting naneinf"

[vale glen]

xD

[sonic cedar]

burning down the house trying to play balatro on a microwave

[sturdy compass]

HA

[sonic cedar]

i forgot i went to the credits to actually give you your thing
i did axy

[sturdy compass]

That’s not my discord tag 😭

[sonic cedar]

it was when i PUT it damn you

fickle fool

[sturdy compass]

Blame Marathon

Genuinely

[sonic cedar]

is that a joker

[sturdy compass]

Game

[sonic cedar]

ohhhh the game marathon

i may be stupid

[sturdy compass]

I signed up for the closed beta (that I didn’t get in) and early on it didn’t allow usernames with underscores at the end lol

[sonic cedar]

laaame

[sturdy compass]

They fixed it but after I speedran signing up lol

[sonic cedar]

fixed

[sturdy compass]

Thank

[sonic cedar]

OH RIGHT

[vale glen]

Wondering what you wrote for Axy now

[sonic cedar]

i didnt send it omg

i took the ss

[sonic cedar]

here's your competition while i get it from the gallery /j

[sturdy compass]

Bet

Jsyk I helped N with VanillaRemade so I think I’ve earned the right to stand with him

[vale glen]

Ijiraq transformation sounds cool

Like a gundam

or a magical girl

or a magical gundam girl

[sonic cedar]

it’s actually a cryptid that steals kids but sure

[subtle merlin]

I endorse this message

still need to sp-was that a sticker astra

[sturdy compass]

It was the breaking handcuffs image lol

[sturdy compass]

Lmao

[sonic cedar]

it only took 83 (active) days...

[sturdy compass]

Insanity

Once the last Maximus card arts come in I’m gonna get a day count

[sonic cedar]

there is now only one behemoth keeping this release from releasing

[sonic cedar]

Thats gonna be hype

[sturdy compass]

Oh boy

[sonic cedar]

three patches
this guy has three patches
and NONE OF THEM WORK FOR THE LOVE OF
(they patch properly they just dont do anything 😭)

[sturdy compass]

What exactly is he meant to do

[serene granite]

whats it called in balatro when it does that little splash text effect? like the NOPE or the EXTINCT effect. i want to find it in steam modded guides but idk what to look for

[sonic cedar]

youre not gonna believe this

[sturdy compass]

message

[sonic cedar]

STOP LMFAO

[serene granite]

its called message?

[sturdy compass]

[sonic cedar]

so if youve ever played inscryption

[sturdy compass]

Yes

[serene granite]

ok thanks!

[sturdy compass]

I have not

[sonic cedar]

oh right it was you

[sturdy compass]

I will eventually ™️

I’m so bad at playing new games

[sonic cedar]

but yeah h-

should i not tell you then it's spoilers

[sturdy compass]

Nah I’ll probably forget

[sonic cedar]

ok well postgame spoilers

[subtle merlin]

Marathon:

[sturdy compass]

I haven’t played it

Lmao

[subtle merlin]

but you rushed to the closed beta

[sturdy compass]

Yeah

And I didn’t get in

[sonic cedar]

but yeah he disguises himself as a joker at the start of each ante and if you trigger the joker it'll turn into him
also if you get the joker he disguises as it'll apply the priceless sticker to itself

in which you cannot sell it

[sturdy compass]

Interesting

And what are the problems then? That doesn’t sound too bad

[sonic cedar]

there are special exceptions for some jokers
exceptions as in "i have a funny twist on the effect"

[sonic cedar]

well

as you saw in the ss

he doesnt pick the fake costumes

he uses the basegame sprites 😭

the exceptions arent finished because we're trying to get the actual automated system (a fodder joker) running

and one i havent even begun on

it went from the sticker being on literally everything

if it was a card, it was priceless

to uh

nothing it just

wont

appear

at all?

[sturdy compass]

Bruh

[sonic cedar]

hence "we suppressed it too much"

[sturdy compass]

Lmao

So how are you checking for the other card?

[sonic cedar]

id hit up delirium more often but he's doing his own thing rn im not tryna cramp

[sonic cedar]

pardon

[sturdy compass]

“If you get the joker he disguises as it’ll apply the priceless sticker to itself”

[sonic cedar]

oh you mean how does the game know it's a coostume?

costume?

[sturdy compass]

How I’m interpreting this is if you acquire the joker the Ijiraq is disguised as, the Ijiraq gets the sticker. Is that correct?

[sonic cedar]

the costume he’s wearing does so you can’t just sell him

Once the transformation happens he loses it

[sturdy compass]

The costume gets the sticker?

Huh

[sonic cedar]

the costume

[vale glen]

Hm... How would Axy approach this... So it would "disguise" itself by setting its atlas and position to the target joker, along with any soul positions. If another joker (in the card areas with calculated jokers) contains the target joker, apply sticker?

[sturdy compass]

Ok yeah I’m very lost lmfao

No need to explain further

[sonic cedar]

this is costume say hi

[sturdy compass]

Ah ok this is making a bit more sense now

[sonic cedar]

see it's not THAT bad (it's that bad)

[sturdy compass]

I didn’t realize costume was technically its own joker

[sonic cedar]

yeah just dont load it in the collection ever

[zenith sage]

whats the lua syntax to check if a card is in a table

for instance if table destroy contains context.destroy_card

where destroy contains several cards to be destroyed

like .contains

[sonic cedar]

a for loop

[zenith sage]

for _, card in destroyed, if card == context.destroy_card?

[sonic cedar]

function table(table, card)
  for i = 1, #table do
    if (table[i] == card) then
      return true
    end
  end
  return false
end

should be self explanatory but lmk

actually dont lmk omg it's almost 4 am

[vale glen]

heh

Yeah, let's talk later then xD

[sonic cedar]

why did i let you people keep me here good NIGHT

cant even say tmr

im already there

[zenith sage]

        elseif #destroyed > 0 then
            if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play then
                for i = 1, #destroyed do
                    if (context.destroy_card == destroyed[i]) then
                        return {
                            message = 'Electrocuted!',
                            colour = G.C.RED,
                            remove = true
                        }
                    end
                end
            end
        end

seems like that should do it

[subtle merlin]

I was hoping to make a joker without asking a question here but that'll have to be later ig
how do I check the currently played hand type?

[daring fern]

context.scoring_name?

[hasty mist]

why in the world is this displaying as 400

[daring fern]

loc_vars?

[hasty mist]

nothing out of the ordinary

[vale glen]

Ohhh, this makes sense now that Axy's read the code. Interesting that you copied the card's description text too, Axy thought you'd just change the atlas sprites. It's a nice idea to apply the sticker while setting the ability, Axy doesn't know enough about set_ability to know why that's preferred over using add_to_deck. Could the sticker be removed in a calculate function, by removing the sticker if the appropriate boolean is false? That seems inefficient, and might not work if you have a valid reason to apply the priceless sticker when the costume is removed. Would have to experiment with the Joker and try random things to see if it works.

No need to reply rn, feel free to ping when you're awake and such

[subtle merlin]

Still does nothing

(ik for a fact i used the right hand bc the right hand is always full house for rn)

[daring fern]

context.scoring_name not context.string_name

[subtle merlin]

Im more tired than i thought, i fixed it and am checking now

It worked!

ty

[zenith sage]

after destroying some cards it removes them from the full deck but not from the like, deck counter? and still tries to draw them

and the deck says like 52/48 and draws empty spaces

also is there a better way to remove a playing card than start_dissolve

[manic rune]

check context.destroy_card

theres SMODS.destroy_cards too

[zenith sage]

how does SMODS.destroy_cards work

[manic rune]

never used it before :3

[zenith sage]

fair enough

[hasty mist]

bump plz

i am so lost

[daring fern]

I have Joker Hands themselves working perfectly, now I just need to figure out this.

[daring fern]

What happens if you print G.P_CENTERS.j_modprefix_key.config.extra.score?

[hasty mist]

this genuinely doesnt make sense to me

it literally says 150

[daring fern]

Did you save the file?

[hasty mist]

yes

that was the first thing i checked

[zenith sage]

what is Joker Hands referring to

[hasty mist]

rewrote the whole joker, seems to work now

[daring fern]

Poker hands but for jokers?

[zenith sage]

yeah but like

what does that mean

[frigid cargo]

anyone know the name of code for the negative cards? (not jokers or consumables)

ill try thanks

[placid star]

is it possible to call a function of another card in another card? for example calling hermit to be used 5 times in another consumable

[faint yacht]

Vanilla cards do not really have a specific function of their own to call. For modded consumables, you can reference the .use function of the center.

Better off just duplicating what you need.

[tardy juniper]

how can i get the values for the current and max count of hands/discards?

[hollow coyote]

Hey ! I'm pixel art artist RogueLeaderArt and I also happen to be quite passionate by balatro So feel free to reach out if you need some help designing some jokers for you mods ! All I request in return is just a mention in the credits

(Attached, a quick example of the kind of stuff I can do !)

[plain gazelle]

you should use Balatro's color palette (for example the base game does not use black, only dark grey, look at Sock and Buskin) and pixel perfect

[subtle merlin]

Is there a way to check if the most recent discarded cards are a specific enhancement and then draw them back to the hand if so?

I tried draw_card(G.discard, G.hand, 90, 'up', nil, discarded_card) to no avail so im asking here
-# im not goint to make the same mistake thrice, discarded_card was established earlier in the function

[daring fern]

Yes.

[subtle merlin]

Please, elaborate slightly

I need to go to sleep, i'll ask more tomorrow

[real topaz]

is there a way to instantly win with a card if i have a certain joker?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[plain gazelle]

I want to make steel cards count as gold cards and vice versa as a side effect for my Joker, so I looked at Smeared Joker's black magic hook and made this which obviously doesn't work at all and crashes the game

what do I do and how do I check for enhancements ike "card.base.suit" does?

[real topaz]

howww

[hollow coyote]

Yeah I know ! These are actually of a card game i'm making for a friend who loves to collect Joker themed cards !

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[red flower]

for that you should use quantum enhancements

(i dont have an example with me on how to use them)

[onyx sonnet]

Is there a way to remove a joker from the pool through a calculate function?

[narrow wraith]

how do i make my own mod

[red flower]

check the lastest pin on #⚙・modding-general

[plain gazelle]

thanks, will research it

[lament agate]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
            return { vars = { card.ability.extra.dollars } }
        end,
        calculate = function(self, card, context)
            if (context.joker_main) then
                local hand = G.GAME.current_round.current_hand
                local hand_score = get_numeric(hand.chips) * get_numeric(hand.mult)
                local blind = get_numeric(G.GAME.blind.chips)
                print("hand_score:", hand_score, "blind:", blind)
                if hand_score >= blind then
                    ease_dollars(card.ability.extra.dollars)
                    return {
                        message = "$" .. card.ability.extra.dollars,
                        colour = G.C.MONEY,
                    }
                else
                    G.GAME.chips = math.huge
                    return {
                        message = "WRONG!",
                        mult = - math.huge,
                        colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION,
                    }
                end
            end
        end,
    }

is this right?

context :If your scoring hand catches on fire, gives 25$
otherwise, set your score to false infinite.

the otherwise is 1 in 6 chance

[long sun]

how do you get unseeded randomness?

[red flower]

math.random()

[long sun]

thanks :D

[primal robin]

[hard mica]

how can i make my own planet card?

[manic rune]

omg nxkoo and missing number voice reveal

[lament agate]

shh

[daring fern]

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

[normal crest]

Is there a context that enhancements held in hand can use to do something when a card scores

Or stickers too

[hard mica]

Is there an example or anything?

[daring fern]

No.

[daring fern]

No.

[plain gazelle]

finally uploaded my first mod🥳

[red flower]

i should add planets to vanillaremade those seem easy to copy paste

[lament agate]

bump

[red flower]

whats the problem

[lament agate]

does it seems right

or am i missing something

context :If your scoring hand catches on fire, gives 25$
otherwise, set your score to false infinite.
the otherwise is 1 in 6 chance

[red flower]

well there are a couple of things i would have done differently

[lament agate]

but it would works right

[red flower]

idk

did you try it

[lament agate]

good idea actually

hold on

well i mean it does work

but idk if the false inf one works or not

or do i forgot to putt probabilities in it?

[red flower]

i dont see the probabilities in the code

[lament agate]

oh yeah, the "otherwise" was "1 in 6 chances"

how do i make it work then

[red flower]

elseif pseudorandom("seed") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / 6 then

[lament agate]

thanks

hold on

[lament agate]

?

[red flower]

yes

[lament agate]

alright

also ths right?

[red flower]

well idk what get_numeric is

[lament agate]

fuck hold on

god this is too elaborate to code

[red flower]

this is what i would have done

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.final_scoring_step then
        local hand_score = hand_chips * mult
        if hand_score >= G.GAME.blind.chips then
            return {
                dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars
            }
        elseif pseudorandom("seed") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / 6 then
            G.GAME.chips = math.huge
            return {
                message = "WRONG!",
                mult = - math.huge,
                colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION,
            }
        end
    end
end,

idk if the second return works

[lament agate]

thats fair

imma try something else first

and if it srill doesnt work

imma try and tweak the thing you send

[viral ember]

I kept hearing about a way to change base Balatro code?

[red flower]

lovely patching?

[viral ember]

is that what it's called?

[red flower]

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector#patches

[viral ember]

Ah

thanks!

[hybrid shadow]

bunp

[daring fern]

context.full_hand for played hand.

[red flower]

context.pre_discard and context.full_hand for the discarded hand

[hard mica]

anyone know any examples of planet cards?

[red flower]

there's one in the pokerhand example in the smods examples repo

[hybrid shadow]

do i have to do the statements for them separately or can i make it an or inside the for statement (and if so how would i do that, am i able to just make it like for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand or (context.pre_discard and context.full_hand))?)

[red flower]

depends on what you want to do

for k, v in pairs((context.before or context.pre_discard) and context.full_hand or {}) would work

[hybrid shadow]

ok

[lament agate]

wait is it possible to have a joker that has a different description when they appear in the shop

[red flower]

yes

[lament agate]

hwo

[red flower]

do you want it to be different only in the shop? boosters as well? the collection too?

[lament agate]

make it booster and shop only

[red flower]

in loc_vars return { key = card.area and (card.area == G.shop_jokers or card.area == G.pack_cards) and "j_modprefix_altkey" or nil }

[lament agate]

and where do i put the text for desc?

[red flower]

a loc file

replace j_modprefix_altkey for the key

[lament agate]

oh okay

OHHH OKAY i understand it now

@red flower ?

[red flower]

no

you need a localization file

[lament agate]

en-us.txt ?

[red flower]

.lua

[lament agate]

right

what do i put in the loc?

[red flower]

you would do j_mvan_original = { name = "name", text = {"desc"} } like you would a normal joker

[lament agate]

gotcha

[lament agate]

hmm

[red flower]

does that mean it works or it doesnt

[lament agate]

this one is the main one

not the shop one

[red flower]

can i see the code

[lament agate]

i will also join was the shop

[red flower]

you shouldnt have two returns

but thats not the issue, can i see the loc file?

[lament agate]

how do i combine them togeher

[red flower]

in needs to be in descriptions = { Joker = {

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization

[lament agate]

thanks

gold on

ohhhh

okay i see now

[red flower]

return { vars = {}, key = ... }

[lament agate]

?

[red flower]

yes

no

[lament agate]

pardon

[red flower]

descriptions

[lament agate]

oh

done

thank you for helping me btw @red flower

@red flower gruhhhhh

[viral ember]

why does it have 2 keys and 2 loc_txts?

[lament agate]

which

[viral ember]

woah discord bugged out

[viral ember]

I was seeing this image

[lament agate]

oh trippin

[red flower]

hmmm idk :3

[lament agate]

kill people with hammer

[red flower]

try just key = "j_mvan_original" to see if it works at all

[lament agate]

in where

[red flower]

loc_vars

[faint yacht]

key = self.key doesn't work?

[red flower]

what would that do

[faint yacht]

Just use the original key.

[lament agate]

nah

[red flower]

oh ok then thats the problem

[lament agate]

do something ref

whats wrong

[lament agate]

im fairly new to this, what does this mean

[red flower]

you dont need the last part

you can do or nil

[pure salmon]

how can i have a boss blind detect unscored cards? i assume context.full_hand and context.scoring_hand don't exist

[faint yacht]

...wouldn't key = nil break it?

[red flower]

no

it's the same as not returning a key

[faint yacht]

huh. well, I do it anyway.

[hybrid shadow]

context.cardarea == 'unscored'

[red flower]

i mean thats fine, but its not relevant to this issue

[lament agate]

whats seems to be the issue here

[red flower]

the key doesn't seem to work at all for some reason

try key = "j_joker"?

[lament agate]

this mod is a curse to begin with

[lament agate]

sure

[red flower]

also are you saving

i feel like your files dont save

[lament agate]

i press Ctrl + S every 2 seconds

[hybrid shadow]

this is for some reason not only working at the wrong time (for some reason whenever the first hand is drawn it looks through the deck?), but also adding/subtracting more times than intended

[lament agate]

nah

HRUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[red flower]

ur mod is cursed sorry

[lament agate]

god damnit

[red flower]

this a sticker?

[long sun]

do music tracks have priorities? mine isn't playing

(might be an issue with my context though)

SMODS.Sound({
  vol = 1,
  pitch = 1,
  key = "polargeist_music",
  path = "phanta_polargeist.ogg",
  select_music_track = function()
    if #SMODS.find_card('j_phanta_normalface') > 0 then
      return true
    end
    return false
  end
})```

[hybrid shadow]

yes

[daring fern]

Yes.

[red flower]

i dont know what the first issue is but the second is because each card with the sticker is doing the code for all other cards witht the sticker

[daring fern]

Try putting return 1e6

[red flower]

you need to check if the card is the same card doing the calculate

[long sun]

👍

[hybrid shadow]

so add context.other_card == card?

[lament agate]

what does self.key do tho

[red flower]

sorry, i just noticed something else
you would do instead of card.ability.hmlt_br_st
v == card

[red flower]

if the condition is false it uses the original key
that's why I added the or nil you removed 😦

[lament agate]

ohhhhhhhhhh

forget this

imma scrap that

ill keep the line and the loc folder just in case it works tomorrow

[hybrid shadow]

like this?

[red flower]

yes

[hybrid shadow]

is this still connecting all stickers to go off at once

[red flower]

no

for that you would need more complex logic

[pure salmon]

does context.cardarea exist for blinds? not sure where i would call it

[red flower]

yes

(depending on the context)

[pure salmon]

which context would you need to call it in to do effects on individual cards?

[red flower]

context.individual?

[hybrid shadow]

do booster packs technically discard cards at the end of them? (asking so it doesnt fuck up my code)

[lament agate]

hey, can you detect player's least played hand for a description?

or is it not possible

[red flower]

yeah just do obelisk in reverse

you will get a lot of ties tho

[hybrid shadow]

it does not evidently (or the game accounted for it, anyway)

[modern kindle]

You could set it to have at least 1 play which would help the 0 tie

[lament agate]

ties?

[modern kindle]

Multiple lowest played hands

[lament agate]

If 9 hands are played 0 times thats 9 hands that are lowest played

[lament agate]

not possible then

[modern kindle]

Setting it to a limit of being played at least 1x imo is the wave

Because then its less likely to be a huge tie

[lament agate]

hows that

[pure salmon]

i'd break the ties by having the lowest poker hand win

[modern kindle]

Just have a check to see each hand that was played at least one time

[pure salmon]

i.e. if it's between pair, 3oak and 4oak, choose pair

[lament agate]

here's my plan:

i want the title to have their least played hand
but i want the description to be a random hand

like obelisk and todo at the same time

i guess this is right?

ignore the config

worked

[modern kindle]

Im gonna save this and send it every time someone asks if their code will work

Basically I'm gonna send it 30 times a day

[red flower]

i stole it from aiko

[lament agate]

not asking in this channel anymore due to fragility

jk

balatro modding guide but it just teaches you how to add prints everywhere to debug

[modern kindle]

Its okay I'd make a mental note and ping you at random hours instead

This is the most Bill Wurtz thing i've ever seen that wasn't made by Bill Wurtz

[red flower]

im literally listening to bill wurtz rn

[modern kindle]

I will always think anything made like that is bill wurtz

[lament agate]

thank you doc

does this work 🥺

[red flower]

no

[lament agate]

im deleting my IDE

[zenith sage]

im struggling

i want this to delete some cards and put an enhancement on the rest but i just cant figure out the right context order

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local charged = {}
        local eletrocuted = {}
        if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
            for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if scored_card:is_suit('Hearts') then
                    if pseudorandom('defibrillator') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                        eletrocuted[#eletrocuted + 1] = scored_card
                    end
                end
            end
            if #eletrocuted > 0 then
                for i = 1, #eletrocuted do
                    print(i)
                    print(eletrocuted[i])
                    if context.destroy_card == eletrocuted[i] then
                        eletrocuted[i]:remove_from_deck()
                        eletrocuted[i]:start_dissolve()
                        -- SMODS.destroy_cards(eletrocuted[i])
                    end
                end
                return {
                    message = 'Electrocuted!',
                    colour = G.C.RED
                }
            end
        elseif context.before and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
            for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if scored_card:is_suit('Hearts') then
                    charged[#charged + 1] = scored_card
                    scored_card:set_ability('m_nycto_charged', nil, true)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            scored_card:juice_up()
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end
            end
            if #charged > 0 then
                return {
                    message = 'Charged!',
                    colour = G.C.BLUE
                }
            end
        end
    end

It's okay when I get mad I start deleting mod githubs as a coping mechanism
There should be no more balatro mods by tomorrow

[zenith sage]

because there is no context.destroy_card in context.before and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint

[red flower]

destroy_card happens almost at the end

[zenith sage]

but there is no electrocuted outside that for loop

[red flower]

you need to reverse the logic, first mark the cards for destruction and transforms the rest, then destroy

[zenith sage]

thats what i tried

but it seems like that table disappears

outside the scope or something

[red flower]

it does, you need to mark it on the card

[zenith sage]

oh how do you do that

[red flower]

each context is a different call to calculate so local variables disappear

[red flower]

card.modprefix_marked = true or anything you want to name it

[zenith sage]

so first go through the context.before and mark whichever ones dont get transformed, then at context.destroy remove all marked cards

bless

2 more questions, quick ones

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local charged = {}
        local eletrocuted = {}
        if context.before and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
            for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if scored_card:is_suit('Hearts') then
                    if pseudorandom('defibrillator') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                        scored_card.nycto_marked = true
                    else
                        charged[#charged + 1] = scored_card
                        scored_card:set_ability('m_nycto_charged', nil, true)
                        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                            func = function()
                                scored_card:juice_up()
                                return true
                            end
                        }))
                    end
                end
            end
            if #charged > 0 then
                return {
                    message = 'Charged!',
                    colour = G.C.BLUE
                }
            end
        elseif context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
            for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if scored_card.nycto_marked and context.destroy_card == scored_card then
                    card:start_dissolve()
                    eletrocuted[#eletrocuted + 1] = scored_card
                end
            end
            if #eletrocuted > 0 then
                return {
                    message = 'Electrocuted!',
                    colour = G.C.RED
                }
            end
        end
    end

is start_dissolve okay here or should i be using some other method

like SMODS.destroy_cards or whatnot

[red flower]

neither

you want to destroy the played card right?

[zenith sage]

yeah

[red flower]

you need to return { remove = true } for each

you dont use a loop

[zenith sage]

so for every played heart card in main.eval, 1 in 10 chance to mark it, then later during context.destroy_card, return { remove = true } for each marked card

[red flower]

yes

sidenote i should test if context.before and context.main_eval makes sense or remove it from vanillaremade haha

[pulsar furnace]

I don't understand how to use get_weight()

[wintry solar]

For what?

[pulsar furnace]

changing a rarity weight, that's what it's used for, right?

[peak obsidian]

i wish there was a doc about smods.font cause like idk what im doing wrong can somebody give me a hand here

[red flower]

that should work

whats your smods ver

[red flower]

hmm

[lament agate]

load file maybe?

[stiff quiver]

hi, i made this code to double a joker's number values, but instead of that its changing its ability to give xmult, what 's wrong with it? lua for key, effect in pairs(G.jokers.cards[card.ability.extra.sel_joker].ability) do if type(effect) == "number" then effect = effect + effect G.jokers.cards[card.ability.extra.sel_joker].ability[key] = effect end end for key, effect in pairs(G.jokers.cards[card.ability.extra.sel_joker].ability.extra) do if type(effect) == "number" then effect = effect + effect G.jokers.cards[card.ability.extra.sel_joker].ability.extra[key] = effect end end

[cursive gazelle]

is there any shader tutorial

im not familiar with f# in creating shaders

[daring fern]

No.

[hollow turtle]

Is there any way to see if the hand being discarded is a pair?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hollow turtle]

Would you please elaborate on how I'd do that?

[daring fern]

Look at Reverse Card from Cryptid

[daring heron]

Honestly just elaborate in general, “yes” doesnt help anyone

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/d519ea2c28a92ab0abc08a8a83fc7cd8d998d411/src/jokers.lua#L4651

[hollow turtle]

Thanks a lot

[pulsar furnace]

how do i make it work 😔

[red flower]

G.GAME.selected_back.config.center.key iirc

[red flower]

where is this

[red flower]

selected_back.effect.center.key?

[modern kindle]

If a question is not elaborated then an answer doesn't need to be
Its like when people ask 'is x possible'
Yes, it is
When people decide to say 'hey, if this possible, and if it is how would I go about it?' Then they can get themselves a valid answer
Just asking a simple question leads to the perception getting a yes would lead them to look at other documentation or other mods as examples

[echo aurora]

Is there a way to reroll booster packs?

[red flower]

yeah, you also don't know how much elaboration they need
do you only need to know if there are any difficulties? do you need an example? do you need a hint on how to do it? do you need me to code it for you?

i just dont reply tho

[vale glen]

Followup questions do exist, and would reasonably be expected

A simple "yes" discourages that sort of ask

[red flower]

follow up questions have the same problems as asking to ask

[modern kindle]

Yea there's no point in asking a question just to ask it

[vale glen]

They do slow things down, but just a simple yes can feel aggravating too

[floral narwhal]

how can i make new tab like shop or selecting blind?

[vale glen]

Like, yes, do you need any help with that?

[red flower]

where you're basically already trapped on helping them and they will also not get help from someone who might know but can't code it fully for example

[vale glen]

Mmh, although Axy stays silent if we're not sure how to do a thing

[red flower]

same, i do think replying with just yes is often rude

[modern kindle]

Also in what way are you meaning
Adding a reroll button, generating a new one on skip
Or how

[modern kindle]

I suffer in a problem of being unsure how to deal with it
Like the 'is x possible' question always feels foolish because there isnt much you really cant do in a hacky way or otherwise that people come up with here
I just wish people on both ends were more concise

[echo aurora]

Like in the shop when you press reroll, it also rerolls the booster packs.

[pulsar furnace]

is there a way to make like shop discount?
