[lament agate]

i have that in my mod

[hasty mist]

to_big will be a thing of the past

[sage crater]

where do you change chips?

[subtle merlin]

That's the thing, the modded stuff shouldn't affect chips, only mult

[sage crater]

ok, where do you change mult?

[hasty mist]

alrighty so it no longer crashes

[hasty mist]

however it also does not work ingame

[sage crater]

also please send your whole crash report

[maiden phoenix]

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editing/userdefinedsnippets

[lament agate]

question, i can just write their description in the loc file right?

i can just delete the text

[sage crater]

yes

here's a simple version of a loc file

[wintry solar]

hand_mult should be mult

[hasty mist]

OH

its so late 😭

im making really silly mistakes

[lament agate]

@maiden phoenix should the custom tooltips stay out of the jokers loc?

nevermind

its Others

[maiden phoenix]

Yea

[sage crater]

ignis

[sage crater]

ah, thanks

[lament agate]

this will shoe right?

show

[sage crater]

I recommend adding a name = too, but I think technically yes

[lament agate]

well i already put the name on the loc txt tho

[sage crater]

ah ok

then yeah, it should work perfectly fine

[maiden phoenix]

They meant for the Joker

[hasty mist]

hm, still has no effect

[maiden phoenix]

Ithink it will show an error if you dont

[lament agate]

it works!!!

[stoic fulcrum]

this code seems to be printing this error, what would the fix be here?
i recently updated steammodded to the version that adds destroycards but i can't seem to get it to work

[red flower]

is that the entire code?
context.other_card doesn't exist in every calculate call

[subtle merlin]

Hai N'

[red flower]

hiii

[stoic fulcrum]

here's the whole thing

            end
        end
    end,
}```

[red flower]

yeah you need to specify a stricter context like context.individual

also returning dmymelo = dmymelo + 1.5 is not doing what you think it does (it does nothing)

[stoic fulcrum]

isn't it increasing the value of dmymelo?

if not then how would i do that

[unborn bay]

no because that applies to nothing in the context

you need to separate it first

[stoic fulcrum]

it's already separated i thought

[red flower]

you need to do it outside the return but even then a local variable gets erased as soon as you return so it'll still do nothing
you need to save it to the joker

[unborn bay]

^

[red flower]

hi haya

[stoic fulcrum]

well it's not doing nothing, it's softlocking the game when i try to sell the card

[unborn bay]

hi n

i updated joyousspring count today

fuck

[red flower]

outdated again u.u

hi dilly

[modern kindle]

hello

smiley face

[primal robin]

j

[subtle merlin]

How can I tell when a card is retriggered?

[sage crater]

iirc, context.retriggered exists

[stoic fulcrum]

ok i think my code isn't working because the joker doesn't get properly debuffed
i'm assuming card:set_debuff(false) doesn't work at all if the card is already debuffed right

[subtle merlin]

Yay! Ty

[stoic fulcrum]

like since the joker's debuffed it's not running any code at all

[sage crater]

ok I'm pretty sure I was incorrect.

is this an effect that's happening when a single joker is retriggered, or when anything is retriggered?

[subtle merlin]

When a playing card is retriggered by anything

[sage crater]

oh, neat

ok one second

ok, here's my thoughts

so context.repetition exists

I'm thinking basically just do something like ```lua
local reps = 0
if context.repetition then
reps = reps +1
end

this may not work, but it's the best that I could come up with from looking at the wiki and repos

[wintry solar]

can you put some prints in to make sure it's running?

[subtle merlin]

What abt context.post_trigger?

Nvm, ignore me I didn't read it all

[sage crater]

ok cool haha

[subtle merlin]

Wait, retrigger_card exists...

[wintry solar]

hold on let me grab the actual retrigger notes for you

[subtle merlin]

Please do, I can't find them in the wiki

[manic rune]

eremel im gonna barge into your house just for the new documentation

[wintry solar]

🤣 I just cba doing all the contexts, I want to set them out in a slightly more useful way but I'm still workshopping what they should be like

[manic rune]

please

-# i never knew you could return no_retrigger actually

[red flower]

shouldn't it be and not context.retrigger_joker there at the end

[wintry solar]

this is what they currently look like at the start but I'm not 100% happy with it

[manic rune]

question, did you cover the optional features 🤔

[wintry solar]

yes

[manic rune]

nice

[wintry solar]

it also covers adding new contexts and calculation areas

[sage crater]

I will write them all for you if you at least give me their names (and I can find them in the lovely/dump directory)

[wintry solar]

I'm pretty happy with all that stuff, it's just how to set out the contexts I'm not sure on

[manic rune]

:3 im bad at web designing so i will double this and give it to sleepy or someone else who actually knows how to do it

[modern kindle]

ill quad it and return it to bepis

[manic rune]

what the hell

-# hi dilly

[modern kindle]

hello

ive finally gotten around to fixing some things while im in a adequate mood

[subtle merlin]

If we're going that far and it already exists, then why not just do context.retrigger_card?

[red flower]

i just mean that the text is wrong

[subtle merlin]

oh

[midnight briar]

Hey everyone!
I'm new to modding balatro and currently working on a mod and I'm trying to figure out how to get the current number of consumables (Tarot cards, Planet cards, Spectral cards, etc.) that the player currently has "in hand" / in the consumable slots.
Does anyone know which variable or function in the game's code handles this information?
Thanks in advance for the help!

[red flower]

#G.consumeables.cards

[midnight briar]

Thanks!

[subtle merlin]

how do I check for cards instead of jokers retriggering?

[sage crater]

welcome to the server!

[glass scaffold]

this is gonna advance the modding community so far

[daring fern]

Is it possible for a patch to be conditional?

[lament agate]

how do you guys changes your font in vscode?

or atleast a fork of it

actually nevermind im stupid

[wintry solar]

What’s the effect you’re trying to make?

[vast night]

hi again

does some1 know how i can have a context that happens when another joker triggers?

[daring fern]

context.post_trigger

[lament agate]

good enough

[wintry solar]

Oh my god how the fuck do you code with that font 😭

[lament agate]

biblically accurate human handwritings

just need to change the bg to a fucking paper 🥀

[maiden river]

tbh I didn't even think that was code for a sec

[lament agate]

LMAO

insyaallah we shall find the bug

actually, i can use this font for the hood irony joker

hold on

[vast night]

thanks bro

[bold gyro]

Hey y'all, I've encountered a problem where if cards change rank during scoring, they become debuffed by The Pillar. Is this a common problem or would it be a problem with my code?

[willow nimbus]

is there a way to make a joker unable to be targeted by invisible joker

[daring fern]

Yes.

[willow nimbus]

How do you do it?

[daring fern]

You would need to patch/take ownership of it.

[willow nimbus]

ah okay

haven't done that before

[daring fern]

‎

[red flower]

AFAIK no

[wise terrace]

hi, is there a way to check if scroing is taking place, I can think of checking context.scoring_name but is it guaranteed to not be set if scoring is not taking place

ohh I can just use before and after to track the state myself sorry

[hushed field]

When a consumable is constructed, what information is taken from the consumable type? I'm not sure I know what needs to be set per object versus on the entire category

[north swallow]

anyone know how to do start_dissolve() with an specific joker? like joker:start_dissolve() where joker = "j_prefix_joker"?

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) do v:start_dissolve() end

[hushed field]

What's the specific effect you're after?

[north swallow]

thanks!

[thorn furnace]

Is it possible to make some items impossible to buy in the shop until a certain Joker is held

Like they just won't show up

[signal rose]

insert into the pool whenever the joker is put into hand?

[thorn furnace]

Yea
How would I go about doing that

[daring fern]

Yes.

[thorn furnace]

Huh
Neat

Thanks :>

[signal rose]

couldnt find it in docs for a minute lol

[thorn furnace]

Was thinking about it because I have a couple items that only do anything if you have a certain Joker

And it's kinda annoying to just have those around

[thorn furnace]

Question about this
Does this still allow SMODS.add_card({ set = the_set_of_the_card_in_question }) to spawn it

[daring fern]

No.

[thorn furnace]

Unfortunate

[red flower]

what you can do is add a key_append and check args.source == key_append in in_pool

[thorn furnace]

Oh true

Thanks :>

[hardy wasp]

I'm getting an error whenever I load Balatro using one of my mods. Could someone help out?
I've attached the error I'm getting, along with my main.lua and anything else that could be relevant.

(I have a feeling it could be something with the main.lua file since it's only one line)

[signal rose]

isnt it done with assert(SMODS.load_file())

[hardy wasp]

let me try that, I've been referencing other people's mods to try to get multi-joker mods working and I havent seen assert(SMODS.load_file()) yet

still getting the same error

unfortunately :(

[signal rose]

oh wait no yeah that wouldnt really do anything here

ive just really gotten up, being slow there

[hardy wasp]

same with me

i was trying to fix this for hours last night

[signal rose]

is the folder content in the same folder as main.lua

[orchid nest]

Does anyone know how to score Xchips with calculate?

[hardy wasp]

yes

[signal rose]

remove the YummyPlus, its relative branch

[hardy wasp]

okay let me try that

[signal rose]

should just be content/jokers/wineJoker.lua")()

[stiff quiver]

is there a way to check if a joker is modded, and if so, what is it?

[hardy wasp]

that fixed that error, but now I have an error about a missing atlas, which I might know how to fix fixed, you need to define the atlas in your main.lua file

[orchid nest]

nvm sorry!!!

[hushed field]

Man, the button UI for cards is set up weirdly, huh. Lots of hard coding things in. Think I'm managing to work around it though

[coarse plank]

can playing cards have pershiable? Trying to make this joker

[pure salmon]

you could make an enhancement with a timer that goes down every round and then sets card.ability.perma_debuff = true once it hits 0. if you do that, i would use info_queue to display info about that enhancement in this joker description

[coarse plank]

would I just use info_queue instead of C:inactive to do that?

not sure how info_queue works

[daring fern]

No?

[daring fern]

Yes.

You have to implement it though.

[pure salmon]

might as well just make the perishing part of the enhancement if you also want the spreading behaviour and the X3 Mult

[daring fern]

It would probably just be a hook of calculate_sticker

[pure salmon]

here's how i add info_queue in loc_vars to a joker if i want the wooden enhancement description to appear beside the card (my mod prefix is gb). just sub in your own prefix and enhancement key

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_gb_wooden

[signal rose]

Having an issue with create_slider, attached video of the issue, from what i understand its because it keeps running G.FUNCS.slider(e) and then breaks when backing out because e doesn't exist
im mainly confused because it was working fine before but now breaks

create_slider({label = "Contrast", scale = 0.5, label_scale = 0.5, ref_table = palette.config.PACKS.BUFFOON, ref_value = 'CONTRAST', w = 3, min = 0.1, max = 8, step = 0.1, decimal_places = 1, colour = G.C.BLUE})

  local c = e.children[1]
  e.states.drag.can = true
  c.states.drag.can = true < Breaking Here```

Code: https://github.com/BlackoutMaiming/Palette/tree/main

[orchid nest]

how do you check if the hand exceeds the blind requirement? making it for this enhancement here.

[signal rose]

if G.GAME.chips >= G.GAME.blind.chips then ?

[orchid nest]

ah

ty

o no nvm

that didnt work :p

[signal rose]

error or just non functional

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[orchid nest]

non functional

[daring fern]

You would then do if hand_chips * mult >= G.GAME.blind.chips in context.final_scoring_step I think.

[pure salmon]

lol

[orchid nest]

ghweufnewquiofnwefwqk

[long sun]

is there a way to get the starting deck configuration?

[daring fern]

Is this for checking missing ranks at the start of the run?

[orchid nest]

great minds think alike

[long sun]

yep

[orchid nest]

anyways this worked ty

[long sun]

skjdfnkjsdngsd ya you saw techno joker, you put your wee 🤔 on it

i see there's G.GAME.starting_deck_size

but that's for how many cards are in the deck

[daring fern]

You would have to check at the start of the run and store it because ranks don't get removed from the config.

[long sun]

right, gotcha, thanks ^^

[stiff quiver]

hi, i made this code to multiply a joker's values by a number, but instead of that it just completely changes the joker's ability to giving xmult, so i'd like to know what i did wrong. lua for key, effect in pairs(G.jokers.cards[card.ability.extra.sel_joker].ability) do if type(effect) == "number" then G.jokers.cards[card.ability.extra.sel_joker].ability[key] = effect * card.ability.extra.multiplier end end

[daring fern]

That is because jokers have xmult by default.

[pure salmon]

hey @red flower ease_discard does not ease hands here

(how do i do this for hands)

[daring fern]

ease_hands_played

[pure salmon]

thank you

[stiff quiver]

so what would i have to do to fix it?

[red flower]

oops copy pasted too much

[pure salmon]

happens to the best of us

[daring fern]

You could either multiply all values in extra if it has it, or you could do what Cryptid does.

[stiff quiver]

isnt the first thing already what my code does?

[daring fern]

No, it multiplies everything in ability

[stiff quiver]

oh yeah, but base game jokers dont have extra do they?

[daring fern]

Yes.

Either you copy Cryptid or you miss compatibility for most jokers.

[stiff quiver]

then i'll try copying cryptid, i remember looking at its code for a short while and not fully understunding most of it lol

thanks!

[signal rose]

bump bc i added the github so you can check the code

[midnight briar]

How do I get the current mult value of the hand when a joker scores? (not the base mult of the hand, but the current mult e. g. after glass cards, etc.)

[daring fern]

mult

[midnight briar]

I'm trying to make a joker multiplies the current mult of the hand by it's logarithm (base 10). How would that look like? Thanks in advance!

[whole lava]

how can i make play card destroyed after scoring?

[daring fern]

if context.destroy_card then return {remove = true} end

[whole lava]

idk if this one working ? (im making a deck that destroy play hand if the play hand have multiple suits)

[blazing salmon]

hello, where in the game files can i see the descriptions for all the jokers as a reference?

[daring fern]

localization/en-us.lua

[blazing salmon]

thank you!

[ionic breach]

does anyone have any tips for reskinning face cards? im new and wanted to make a pack for my partner and i :)

tysm 🙏

[formal parrot]

CHAT

IM TIRED OF OPENING THE GAME EVERY TIME I WANT TO PREVIEW MY SHADER CAN SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A RELOAD SHADER BUTTON 😭

[signal rose]

you can add a button to the menu that just runs SMODS.restart_game() ?

[formal parrot]

That just saves me one click

Is there no option for only reloading shaders

[signal rose]

they're loaded in during startup so i doubt it

i might be able to make a mod for it actually

[manic rune]

you can

theres the update thingy that debug plus provides

though i dont know how to use it :p

[signal rose]

i was thinking just bind the shaders section of smods itself to a function keybind

[normal crest]

DebugPlus has a feature to help make this better

[formal parrot]

Which one

Bless me with your arcane information

[normal crest]

watch shader Mods/your mod/assets/shaders/name.fs

[formal parrot]

So does this load the shader again ?

Or displays it

[normal crest]

it will update ingame whenever you save the file

[formal parrot]

Omg i love you so much

You saved my life

[normal crest]

thank debugplus not me

[signal rose]

just gonna bump this again bc i cant rly do anything with this broken lol

[hollow snow]

how do i do a random pitch for play_sound? and give lower and upper limits, because if i just use pseudorandom it ends sounding like croaking wood

[coarse plank]

Whats the pixel size for enhancements?

[daring fern]

71x95?

[hybrid shadow]

would taking ownership and pasting in vanillaremade code (for calculate/use functions) be a good way to try and see what works when messing around with stuff like if/return statements

[whole lava]

why this one doesn't destroy played hand when i played multiple suits ? (im making a deck that destroy play hand if the play hand have multiple suits)

[daring fern]

card:destroy_card() doesn't exist.

Neither does card.suit

Neither does G.FUNCS.G_Update_HUD_Cards()

Neither does context.played_cards

Neither does context.in_scoring

[whole lava]

how can i fix that? (cause i'm new to this)

[slate token]

I have a problem with displaying numerical data in the card description. I just recently started making mods and I can't really find how to solve this problem. In theory, this card should do x4 with a 1 in 4 chance if 4 is counted, but instead of numbers it says nil. Maybe you know how to fix this?

[daring fern]

You put #4# but you're not inputting a fourth value.

[slate token]

And how do i name it?

As i can see i have only 3 values with ##

[granite nymph]

i dont think the x in xmult is supposed to be capital

[hybrid shadow]

with the way that you put in the variables, you should be saying #1# in #2# chance with X#3# Mult

[granite nymph]

let me check

[daring fern]

That doesn't matter?

[slate token]

Wait, the number represents not just a value but its order?

[hybrid shadow]

Xmult_mod is valid here im pretty sure (lemme double check rq)

[hybrid shadow]

yeah it represents the order you placed them in loc_vars

[daring fern]

Xmult_mod is valid.

Xmult is also valid.

[granite nymph]

couldnt you use card.ability.extra.xmult in loc vars

[hybrid shadow]

yeah but capitalization of variables in config doesnt matter since its variables youre defining yourself

[thorn furnace]

If i may ask just out of curiosity
What exactly does the "mod" in xmult_mod mean

[hybrid shadow]

so long as its consistent in your code it works

[hybrid shadow]

its just a valid way of returning xmult

[thorn furnace]

No i mean like
Name-wise

[hybrid shadow]

wdym by that

[thorn furnace]

Why "mod"

And not any other word

[granite nymph]

modification?

thats what i think of

[thorn furnace]

Isnt it just for flat xmult tho

[hybrid shadow]

because its a mod? 🤷‍♀️ im not the one who decided its a valid way to return xmult

[thorn furnace]

Like you have to modify the xmult manually

[slate token]

Oh, its working now! Thanks a lot! I was trying to fix this for idk... 5 hours i think

[hybrid shadow]

np, dont forget it bc its pretty important lol

[slate token]

Yeah:)

[granite nymph]

how do i fix (or at least get rid of) these warnings?

[manic rune]

does your workplace include smods-main (or the smods folder, basically)

[hybrid shadow]

is smods in your lua workspace

[granite nymph]

no

[manic rune]

include it in there then :3

[daring fern]

Also the lovely dump.

[manic rune]

i gotta go sleep early so i will let factwixard handle that, ur doing a good job helping others btw 👍

[granite nymph]

which file should i open

[hybrid shadow]

wdym which file

[granite nymph]

do i just openm the folder?

[hybrid shadow]

i dont use lua workplace but i think you just have to include the folder

[granite nymph]

i cant just import an entire folder

it has to be a specific file

[hybrid shadow]

are you trying to open a file

[granite nymph]

im trying to put smods in my workspace

[hybrid shadow]

try this #💻・modding-dev message

[hollow snow]

can i add properties to other jokers? like if i wanted my joker to select other jokers could i do other_joker.locked = true and it would be added as a property?

[red flower]

yes but it's not going to be saved on a reload

[hybrid shadow]

hey n

[red flower]

hii

[hollow snow]

reload as in what, i only need it for the span of a calculate function

[red flower]

then that's fine

reload as in quitting are reloading a run

[hollow snow]

oh, ok then that's dop[e

[hybrid shadow]

bump

[red flower]

vanillaremade should be equivalent to vanilla code

but i cant promise anything

[coarse plank]

Whats the atlas for making enchancments 😭

[hybrid shadow]

so long as i can utilize it in modification of consumables and jokers thats most of what i need

[hybrid shadow]

wdym

[coarse plank]

atlas = 'Jokers',
this thing but for enchancments

i dont know what it is and I get a crash everytime i try to see my enchanment

[hybrid shadow]

are you modifying the base game atlas or something

[coarse plank]

no just trying to add a new enhancment but I cant find an example of an enchancment in its entirerty only the functional code for base game ones

so i dont know how to format enchantments

[red flower]

atlas is the key for the SMODS.Atlas you made

if you don't have one then you can remove that line to use the vanilla atlas

[hybrid shadow]

have you looked at the wiki for enhancements

[coarse plank]

if your talking about the smods wiki it only has the code for making your enchancment functional not the art part of it

[vast night]

Hey im dying inside. How does it not make EVERY card negative? (Ill add the card type condition later)

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        print(context.playing_card_added)
        if context.playing_card_added then
            other_card = cards[0] or nil
            print(other_card)
            if other_card then
                other_card:set_edition('e_negative')
            end
        end
    end,

[coarse plank]

this is what i got going on

[hybrid shadow]

so do you have an atlas set up for the enhancement

[vast night]

did you set up your atlas?

[coarse plank]

i dont know if i do or how to do that 😭

it works for my jokers that all i know

[hybrid shadow]

do you at least have an image with your enhancement

[red flower]

context.cards is the array of cards added

[vast night]

im uusing that

[red flower]

also please don't make global variables

[vast night]

oop forgot

[coarse plank]

is this what I need?

[red flower]

ctrl+f context.cards in your code and see that you're not lol

[vast night]

can you have double keys?

oh my fucking go

[hybrid shadow]

is that png the entirety of all your mod's art

[vast night]

oh my wtf

lmfao

sry

[red flower]

no, the bottom one overrides the top one

[coarse plank]

yup it has everything

[hybrid shadow]

then set the key to just one thing and call that key in everything you make

[hybrid shadow]

for the atlas

[coarse plank]

oh do i need different files for making enchantments

[hybrid shadow]

no

[coarse plank]

can i not mix them in the code with my jokers

[hybrid shadow]

you can use the same file for the atlas you just need to have everything use the same atlas key

[coarse plank]

i got it working

thank you for putting up with me

[red flower]

oh also lua starts indexing at 1

[vast night]

lua die

k

bruh

[hollow snow]

how do you insert an info_queue?

[vast night]

well context.cards dosen't work, but context.other_card does
this wont make the card negative tho

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.playing_card_added then
            local other_card = context.other_card
            if other_card then
                other_card:set_edition('e_negative')
            end
        end
    end,

[vast night]

you mean event?

[hollow snow]

no, like the information besides the card that explains a certain keyword

[vast night]

oh

[red flower]

i can assure you context.cards works

[gilded blaze]

help how do I DrawStep 💀

[pure salmon]

is there a blind context for discarding like context.press_play

[vast night]

i figured out the problem. i used the wrong context 😭

[vast night]

context.press_play does not exist of my knowledge
check https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[red flower]

it does

[vast night]

wait

where

its not in the wiki

[pure salmon]

blinds

[vast night]

😭

[red flower]

blinds have the same contexts as anything else

[vast night]

i hate myself

[red flower]

the new contexts are not there yet sadly

[pure salmon]

so would context.pre_discard be a good context for this?

[gilded blaze]

😭

[red flower]

yeah

[coarse plank]

How do i check for the enhancment of played card

[daring fern]

SMODS.has_enhancement(card, "m_modprefix_key")

[primal robin]

Holy fuck, I guess I found something

We cannot set metatable for numbers, it has no effect

BUT we can set metatable for string

And perform ariphmetic operations on a string

[tepid crow]

thanks I hate it

[coarse plank]

how would I use that in context? if i wanted to turn all scored lucky cards into another enhancement how would I do that?

[primal robin]

This code actually works

[rapid stag]

i might be dumb, but is there a way to check for if a card... has no rank? like a kind of check that catches any enhancement that makes the card rankless like stone joker, but picks up any other enhancement that does the same thing

[daring fern]

SMODS.has_no_rank(card)

[red flower]

where's context.amount

[hybrid shadow]

possibly odd question but can an if statement go inside of an event

[red flower]

yes

inside the function to be more specific

[wintry solar]

That list has non standard contexts in right?

[primal robin]

So, Lua doesn't allow you to compare table and number, but you can compare string a number.
So, if we'll use string as method for storing big numbers, we a gucci... right?

[faint yacht]

I've regexed contents of the lovely\dump folder for that list. Some still may not be in it.

[red flower]

we serializing the bignums

[hollow snow]

like inside the function or what, you can do anything inside the function lowkey

[wintry solar]

There’s definitely some missing/some fake ones in there

[hybrid shadow]

messing around with familiar's code by taking ownership, how would i avoid destroying said card if it has a mod sticker

[primal robin]

If card never appear in a first place, game will stuck forever btw. Use non-blocking ones or do better checks

[hybrid shadow]

how

[faint yacht]

Imperfect regex is also true... self.cursor_context.stack[self.cursor_context.layer] & -- TARGET: add context.other_something identifier to your cards...

[hybrid shadow]

i was told SMODS.find_card was the way to check if a player had a certain joker

[primal robin]

Yes, but what if you don't?

[hybrid shadow]

wdym

[primal robin]

Game will stuck forever in this check until this joker appears from somewhere, which it isn't because game stuck

[red flower]

you need the return true if you want the event to end so it will keep checking if it finds nothing

not SMODS.find_card(...) is always false also

[hybrid shadow]

how do i better check for said jokers existence then

[red flower]

not next(SMODS.find_card(...))

and put the return after the if

[hybrid shadow]

is the return not being first after the if causing issues

[red flower]

it will just keep queuing the event if it finds the card

[hybrid shadow]

now can i get the original question answered

[red flower]

i would make a new list and add the cards_to_destroy that dont have the stickers to it

[hybrid shadow]

what

[red flower]

local new_list = {}
for _, pcard in ipairs(cards_to_destroy) do
  if not has sticker then -- idk how to do this :3
    new_list[#new_list+1] = pcard
  end
end
SMODS.destroy_cards(new_list)

[runic pecan]

Consumeable idea. Would this be too complicated, or should I only pick one between them?

[daring fern]

It doesn't seem that difficult.

[runic pecan]

This reminds me that I need to once again update my smods folder,
because I have never seen SMODS.destroy_cards before.

[zealous glen]

@minor magnet wants to add minigames, I think @chrome widget or @weak brook could help

[granite nymph]

does anyone know the weight of spectral packs?\

[hybrid shadow]

like so?

[chrome widget]

Define minigames?

Keku is the one who outright programmed a scratch Tetris game for a card so she's probably more in line to ask, but it really does depend on your scope

[zealous glen]

I mean you added Donkey Kong

Someone else did the original work but still you attached it to a Joker

[red flower]

I meant to put the return after the whole if block
otherwise yes

[hybrid shadow]

so put it after the end for the if?

[red flower]

yes

[zealous glen]

Also why are you @red flower

[red flower]

that's rude to ask

[granite nymph]

thanks

[chrome widget]

Uhhhh

[zealous glen]

I can’t tell if you’re saying “Uhhhh” or if it’s because Tavros says that a lot

[pure salmon]

how do i get the base X1 blind size for the current ante

[mild oak]

is it normal for my LOCALIZATION FILE to crash balatro what 😭

[red flower]

yes, it's a lua file like any other

[mild oak]

can i somehow read from the crash log what exactly crashed it...

[red flower]

yes look at line 2722

[mild oak]

OH

[stable pollen]

is it possible to get the sell value of a joker that was just sold and activates context.selling_card

ive been just looking through anything i can im starting to think its just not possible

[signal rose]

what are you trying to do

[stable pollen]

take said sell value and add it to xmult

one sec

[red flower]

context.card.sell_cost iirc

[stable pollen]

im pretty new to this so like how would i apply that?

[outer basalt]

So I have a card that breaks on repetitions. How would I make it repeat until it breaks ?

[stable pollen]

code snippet

   calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.selling_card and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.xmultgain
            return {
                cardarea = G.jokers,
                message = 'Upgraded!',
                colour = G.C.MULT,
                card = card
            }
        end
         if context.joker_main then
            return {
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult } },
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        end
    end

[red flower]

card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + context.card.sell_cost or something like that

[stable pollen]

let me try that ty

[outer basalt]

heres what I did in my code. it doesnt add to the XMULT but rather checks if the sellcost is higher than the current mult added

[ripe kestrel]

how can i create a specific tarot like hierophant?

[outer basalt]

create_card(key = 'heirophant')

I believe

[ripe kestrel]

thx

[daring fern]

No.

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({key = "c_heirophant"})

[stable pollen]

that worked ty

i spent like an hour trying to figure it out on my own 😭

[outer basalt]

I use create_card ? Is there any difference

[stable pollen]

Hey guys, I was joking around and curious as to how poorly-made a Joker would be if it was solely made by AI. I can confirm, though the Joker seems to work as intended, it's coded absolutely awful, and the art looks atrocious (can't even get the letters right.) Wanted to share with the community, so here's what I ended up with.

[daring fern]

The difference is adding to deck and emplacing.

[outer basalt]

ah

the first part of the effect is still not what it does lol

[scarlet imp]

how can I take control of a vanilla Joker to modify its code?

[vagrant cedar]

I didn't modify it lol 🤷

[pure salmon]

D:

[red flower]

the text should be "Gives X2 Mult if a Queen is scored"

[scarlet imp]

and it used punctuation, when the only punctuation used in cards is commas

[vagrant cedar]

Oh is it backwards? That's even funnier haha

[red flower]

yeah it doesn't give X2 for each queen like the text implies, just once

[vagrant cedar]

that's really funny

[scarlet imp]

bump

[chrome widget]

Fitting that misandry is an AI hallucination

[granite nymph]

does it matter what the psuedoseed is?

[red flower]

yes and no, depends on what you want with your randomness

the string itself doesn't matter but you want cards with the same "source" of randomness to have the same one

[wintry solar]

What learning material did you feed in?

[vagrant cedar]

I gave it the Smods wiki and the mods that I coded in the past as a reference

Smods wiki only so it knew the commands

[wintry solar]

I’m surprised it did so well tbh, it’s a lot better than a lot of AI attempts I’ve seen

How specific was your prompt?

[wintry swallow]

Is there any way to get the id and name of a random common joker?

[hybrid shadow]

@daring fern why did you question mark react, that is where it is in the wiki

[signal rose]

thats fair i didnt see you had replied, mb

was looking at my other monitor and it went past

[hybrid shadow]

maybe point that out and use your words instead of question mark reacting

[serene linden]

is there a context for when in a boss blind, i cant find anything and context.boss_blind doesnt work

[pure salmon]

this function freaks out if you discard (because it's calling itself), is there another context i can use that isn't pre_discard to stop this

[daring fern]

G.GAME.blind.boss

[pulsar furnace]

how do i make that the seal animation doesnt play (deck)

[pure salmon]

context.press_play exists but context.press_discard does not. do i have to patch that in

[wintry swallow]

how do I check when the joker is created?

[daring fern]

Probably G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted but it would be a hook.

Checking if it's not the hook and calculating a context.

[wintry solar]

Make it ("Red", nil, true) iirc

[pure salmon]

i’d honestly rather just patch into button_events

[wintry solar]

This would probably be the cleanest solution yeah

[ripe kestrel]

how can i add a card thats a custom consumable

[serene linden]

thanks!

[pulsar furnace]

al animations play at the same time, also its loud

[wintry solar]

Make nil true too for silent

Silent night stop the animation too actually

[sonic cedar]

good afternoon all
hi somecom
holy shit john lovely hi

[daring fern]

Yes, but the button directly goes there does it not?

Also button_events doesn't exist.

[pure salmon]

yeah i mean button_callbacks

[chrome widget]

Admittedly Something you'd probably be better served directly presenting what you're confused about rather than just a vague emoji react

For me at least, I basically completely ignore reactions as a part of conversation since they don't really say anything specific

[red flower]

I usually use reactions to end the conversation haha

[wintry solar]

Yeah, they’re like a final tick on a chain

[outer basalt]

I know I sometimes use reactions for nonverbal communications

Bump

[pure salmon]

i can't find an SMODS.calculate_context call for press_play in the lovely dumps

[brittle tide]

I'm trying to make a joker that has a 1/5 chance of destroying a card and improving the Xmult_mod whenever a stone card is triggered but I can't figure out how to get the card to be destroyed. I've gotten all the other code working and I was wondering if anyone knew how to get it to destroy the stone cards?

[wintry solar]

fwiw, I also find the one word responses with a full stop at the end come off as very passive aggressive

[chrome widget]

It's in a hook for Blind:press_play in SMODS's repo itself

[signal rose]

to be fair on that one sometimes its a "Yes." and proceeds to find the relevant page and post it

[pure salmon]

shit. is it really that hard to get this not to call itself

[outer basalt]

For me, I sometimes like typing in full capitalization/punctuation so I'm not being passive aggressive it's just how I type sometimes. The same for some others as well.

[red flower]

lol

[signal rose]

im entirely ignoring that reaction lol

[wintry solar]

Yeah but just find the relevant page first and post it straight away, whats the need for an intermediary step that doesn’t provide any clarity for the person asking the question

[frigid cargo]

    config = { extra = {xmult = 1.35} },

    calculate = function(self, card, context)

                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }
            end
        end

        end
    }
)

I wrote this code to take control of Jimbo but its not working. I had just joker before instead of j_joker but neither works

[outer basalt]

To let others know you are looking in case it takes a bit for you to find?

[signal rose]

I kind of understand the idea of going "Yes, that exists, give me a moment to find it", but yeah thats very fair too, i see your point

[wintry solar]

Then a simple “yes hold on” is much more helpful

Saying just “Yes.” comes across to a lot of people like you’re done answering the question

[outer basalt]

I don't see it?

[red flower]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS["Shape"] is an array
you can try updating smods and using (context.other_joker.config.center.pools or {})["Shape"]

[modern kindle]

N my goat

[wintry swallow]

Is there any way to check when a joker is added?

[red flower]

hi

[modern kindle]

How are you feeling n

[red flower]

bad becasue im in the office

[frigid cargo]

ok ill try thanks

[daring fern]

if context.card_added and context.card.ability.set == "Joker"

[signal rose]

Just gonna bump this if anyone has an idea of why this error is happening while there are people

[sonic cedar]

i tried changing the #1# to a #2# (as shown), yet the description still isn't formatting properly?

[red flower]

you only return 1 var

[wintry swallow]

sorry for the bad phrasing, but I was asking to check when the joker itself is added (for setting up the joker's variables)

[modern kindle]

Let's go out for lunch

[sonic cedar]

do i put main_end = main_end in the vars?

[red flower]

is the problem that the ...? is not showing?

[red flower]

also no

[blazing salmon]

hey, how can i keep track of a value throughout the course of a run (like throwback)
in this case i'm trying to track how many food jokers (ice cream, popcorn, gros michel, etc.) have been consumed throughout the run

[sonic cedar]

yes and the compatibility badge isnt showing up (unless that only appears while you own the joker)

[red flower]

you only return in loc_vars when the joker is in the joker area

so nothing will show

you need to return outside that if block

[sonic cedar]

ohhh ok

this is collection btw, so you're not supposed to see that grey text

ill move the return

[scarlet imp]

bump

[pure salmon]

G.GAME.blind.mult returns 0 if you're not in a blind, is there an equivalent for it for the whole ante?

[minor magnet]

ok so

[sonic cedar]

:(

is this not outside the if
it collapses like it is

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[red flower]

you need to switch it back to #1# if you havent

[sonic cedar]

OH RIGHT

[pure salmon]

i want this to show the correct value when in the blind selection menu

[sonic cedar]

ok everything works now thanks n

[red flower]

self.config.mult?

or self.mult rather

[pure salmon]

would that not just grab 8

[chrome widget]

This is a really cool idea!!

[scarlet imp]

[minor magnet]

deltarune ch3 spoiler below
||during the tenna fight, minigames are used as the main win condition, taking what you usually do with the game and stretching it in a warioware style, i'd love to have a tenna joker that lets you play a minigame before playing each hand in a bossblind, with a reward of some sort for getting them right, like it gaining mult||

[hybrid shadow]

you need if context.joker_main then inside calculate

[minor magnet]

the minigames could use other jokers as textures

[pure salmon]

if the base X1 blind size was 50,000 on ante 8, when you see the showdown blind in the menu, the tooltip should say "Selling a joker reduces score requirement by 100,000"

[modern kindle]

I wanna do this but make it breakout
Gotta clear a stage to gain xmult

[granite nymph]

boosters keep having this effect and dont spawn any cards

(i know the name is error i havent put a name down)

[minor magnet]

looks like a creepypasta

[sonic cedar]

it's supposed to transform instead of copying but instead it just

(it shouldnt have even transformed in this case there werent any other jokers 😭 )

[scarlet imp]

i'll add that but it doesn't seem to even be taking effect

like I modified the config but the effect and item description aren't changing

[wintry swallow]

I'm trying to change variables using add_to_deck, but nothing happends :(

[granite nymph]

"i was playing balatro and i openeed up a booster pack. no cards spawned and then there was hyuperrelaistic blood and my jokers were killed and there was blood. edb teof the stroy"

[hybrid shadow]

i dont think you need the j_ prefix

[hybrid shadow]

also are you loading the file

[signal rose]

you don't, prefix keys aren't needed in take_ownership()

[wise terrace]

is there a way for a joker to know if its about to be destroyed

[subtle merlin]

When an unenhanced card is retriggered, send it back to hand with [custom enhancement]

[hybrid shadow]

yeah thats what i figured (im in a large session of having to take ownership of a bunch of stuff)

[scarlet imp]

same lol

[minor magnet]

Minigame Idea 1: A memory-like minigame where shoot the moon is mixed with 4 queens, then flipped and shuffled, minigame is won by successfully clicking shoot the moon

[scarlet imp]

just trying to figure it out for the first time

[signal rose]

i mean if its like a food joker you can have it just check if the joker is on its last turn, ie add a check to popcorn if its at 4 mult, but i feel like thats not what you're looking for

[hybrid shadow]

are you sure the rest of the file is loading

[wise terrace]

yeah, like if madnes wants to destroy my joker I want to change some gloabl variable (not specifically madness but any destroy effect)

I mean I could override the card:start_dissolve for that specific card, does lua allow that

[daring fern]

if card.getting_sliced?

[scarlet imp]

I placed it into my main file and its working now so I guess I didn't load it correctly, thanks!

[minor magnet]

Minigame Idea 2: Find Cavendish (Find Luigi but with cavendish hidden between many gros michels)

[wise terrace]

but when do I check it, the card can be getting sliced anytime thats the problem

[hybrid shadow]

np

[wise terrace]

jimbleeding

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[sonic cedar]

you can tell he's evil cause he's using 000 black

[wise terrace]

I want a card that changes some global variable when its destroyed, not sold

[wise terrace]

yeah, he went against all localthunk's children

[daring fern]

You would probably hook Card:remove() perhaps?

[minor magnet]

mm maybe check if the card is highlighted on remove_from_deck?

[pure salmon]

how do i debuff a card outside of context.debuff_card without using perma_debuff

[wise terrace]

does remove from deck work for jokers too

[minor magnet]

yes

if n is still here i would like to point out minor mistake in vanillaremade incantation

this crashes the game

[daring fern]

Log?

[subtle merlin]

Does anyone know how I would go about this?

[brittle tide]

bump

[daring fern]

That seems quite complicated.

[north lodge]

I would suggest looking at 6th sense code to reference destroying the card

[daring fern]

Are you giving it a card that exists?

[subtle merlin]

Yea, I passed out last night before i could finish getting help with it tho, so I thought I might as well ask at least once

[pure salmon]

i should be if i'm looping through G.hand.cards, no?

[granite nymph]

bump

[daring fern]

Firstly, you would probably patch/hook SMODS.calculate_repetitions, Secondly, you would probably patch/hook G.FUNCS.draw_from_play_to_discard()

[serene linden]

im trying to make a joker that gives some mult when a stone card is scored, but it isnt adding the mult, any ideas why? i addapted it from the walkie talkie example

local shell = SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'Shell',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Shell',
        text = {
            "Each played {C:attention}Stone Card{}",
            "gives {C:mult}+#1#{} Mult when scored"
        }
    },

    config = { extra = { mult = 4 } },

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
    end,

    rarity = 1,

    atlas = 'crabro',
    pos = { x = 2, y = 0 },

    cost = 4,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
                if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_stone") then
                    return {
                        mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                        card = context.other_card
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end
}

[daring fern]

Remove the joker_main check.

[serene linden]

oh yeah oops

thanks

[granite nymph]

bumo

[frigid cargo]

is there a way to prevent a joker into being debuffed by the blind?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[stiff quiver]

does G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker include modded jokers?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

Put skip_materialize = true into SMODS.create_card

[subtle merlin]

Idk what hooking is...

[daring fern]

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

[subtle merlin]

What are you trying to do?

[pure salmon]

ohhhh i finally found context.hook. this works now, but it only selects cards up to the card selection limit. is there any way to bypass this

[daring fern]

You could change it temporarily?

[pure salmon]

smods has a new api for that, right? not sure how to use it

[subtle merlin]

Could you have it select a single card in hand, discard it and then repeat for the length of your hand?

[daring fern]

No, you change the highlight limit then change it back, you can still force discard.

[pure salmon]

pre_discard effects would trigger for all cards instead of just once then

[pure salmon]

i know, i meant i don't know the new variable for changing the card selection limit

[frigid cargo]

Can I ask what the code would be?

[daring fern]

local thunk = G.hand.config.highlighted_limit
G.hand.config.highlighted_limit = 1e6
-- Discard cards...
G.hand.config.highlighted_limit = thunk

[daring fern]

Are you trying to prevent a specific joker from being debuffed?

[boreal vale]

How can I get the edition of a Joker?

[daring fern]

card.edition and card.edition.key

[boreal vale]

So to check for negative it would be card.edition.negative?

[daring fern]

That's not what I meant but yes, that would still work.

[wise terrace]

hi sorry, what exactly is context.main_eval

[daring fern]

It's the same as checking context.cardarea == G.jokers

[wise terrace]

ohh, thanks

[frigid cargo]

nvm im stupid but thanks anyways

[wintry solar]

I’d use context.individual and count triggers of cards to flag it to be enhanced and sent back

[frigid cargo]

my friend meant smth else when he said "always active"

[brittle tide]

Shouldnt this code give a 1/5 chance of destroying a stone card when triggered or did I mess something up

[subtle merlin]

How would I count the triggers, tho?

[daring fern]

context.destroy_card not context.individual also context.destroy_card not context.other_card

[brittle tide]

alright thank you

[sonic cedar]

bump?
basically it's supposed to call that custom function once there's a joker next to it

instead it calls it by itself the moment the blind starts like a billion times

how can i fix

[pure salmon]

this works but i'm pretty sure it's keeping cards that get selected by me highlighted even when they're in the deck, causing weird behaviour

[north lodge]

What can I use to refresh/reopen the ui that is currently open? (In the settings)
This might be the only way I can get my visuals to update 😅

[wintry solar]

I’d just store the id of the card and check if it’s the same or not

[subtle merlin]

I'm still confused, check if what's the same or not?

[pure salmon]

how do i force all highlighted cards to deselect?

[daring fern]

G.hand:unhighlight_all()

[pure salmon]

the highlighted cards are in the deck

[daring fern]

G.deck:unhighlight_all()?

[pure salmon]

that shouldn't happen but it does, so i'm using a hacky solution

[wintry solar]

The id of the card in context.individual, it gets called for every repetition

[faint yacht]

I have a Boss Blind that forces the entirety of the first drawn hand to be auto-played, would that be of any reference help?

[wintry solar]

So if you store what it is in your joker, you can just check if it’s the same as the current triggering card, which would imply a retrigger

[pure salmon]

doesn't work. i know it's a highlighted card in the deck because the poker hand won't show until played (flipped card highlighted) and it gets pulled from the deck when i play the hand

[subtle merlin]

So I just store every time that context.individual is called and if it's more than 1, then I activate a flag to bring it back to hand in context.after?

[brittle tide]

Hate to bother but do you know if theres a way to still have it trigger for each card individually or is it a one or the other situation

it functions properly after replacing those two but its visually difficult to tell what its doing

[daring fern]

You could have it gain the xmult in context.individual then destroy it?

[wintry solar]

No youd need specifically the id of the card in that context

[brittle tide]

I'll try that

[subtle merlin]

I think I got it, I'll try smth and brb

[plain gazelle]

spawning negative consumables (using SMODS.create_card({})) finally works but for some reason they don't have "use" button and do not return to consumable slots when dragged around?

[tepid crow]

use add_card instead no?

[daring fern]

Change SMODS.create_card to SMODS.add_card

[plain gazelle]

Works now, thanks

[scarlet imp]

if I want to find what Jokers the player has, I use next() and pass in the card area and the Joker's key, right?

[daring fern]

No.

next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key"))?

[scarlet imp]

ok, thanks

[zenith hedge]

how do i fix this

[subtle merlin]

Code might be helpful here

[zenith hedge]

hold on let me get it

[frigid cargo]

what does context.retrigger_joker_check do?

[daring fern]

You install the lua extension.

[zenith hedge]

yea i have it installed and its not telling me anything

i think its somewhere around here

[daring fern]

It's because your file is not in the lua language.

[zenith hedge]

the file is a .lua

[daring fern]

Yes, but the language is not .lua

[keen totem]

how do i get if a card is in a certain cardarea?

[zenith hedge]

how do i make it lua

[keen totem]

(as in not in collection to be specific)

[daring fern]

if card.area == area

[cobalt vector]

I wanna make a Joker that gives itself mult if a discard only contains heart cards. How can I detect if there are only heart cards being discarded?

[frigid cargo]

how do i check if a scored card or joker is foil?

[keen totem]

how do i get the position of a joker in G.jokers?

like what slot theyre in

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L412

[keen totem]

card.edition.key == "e_foil"

check if card.edition exists first

[zenith hedge]

i dont see that option for some reason

[frigid cargo]

ok thanks

[frigid cargo]

what about for jokers?

[keen totem]

same thing

card just means the card

[daring fern]

Show your entire code window.

[keen totem]

card is a joker if youre in a joker's calculate

[zenith hedge]

i accidently used regular visual studio my bad

[frigid cargo]

as i see thanks

[zenith hedge]

damn my code has a lot of syntax errors

[long sun]

hi! i have a bug with my Copper Grate cards, where if you play a Weathered Copper Grate card with an Oxidised one, both get destroyed

this only happens if the cards are the same rank and suit, and i know why this is happening — the Oxidised card is destroying both, as they're identical cards

[long sun]

but, i've got no clue how to fix it -u-

ideas?

[nova cedar]

tried a run with only jokers i added

[cobalt vector]

That's one mythical looking scholar

[nova cedar]

thats an upgraded scholar

[cobalt vector]

ooo, upgraded jokers?

i like that idea

[nova cedar]

my idea is theres gonna be a consumable that u can use on various existing jokers to upgrade them into Attuned Jokers

im gonna call it like The Rune or something

[scarlet imp]

what context should I use when the player acquires a new joker

[subtle merlin]

I, in fact, did not have it

[daring fern]

if context.card_added and context.card.ability.set == "Joker"

[nova cedar]

itd be obtained from spectral packs or buffoon packs, like how black hole is spectral/planet and the soul is spectral/tarot

[long sun]

(bump)

[nova cedar]

u could set a variable in the card's config

then check for the variable

if ur not already doing that

if u are then idk

[daring fern]

Try using card.ability instead of self.config

[long sun]

not the issue, and that crashes the game -u-

wait lemme do a little more testing

[daring fern]

Log?

[nova cedar]

ohh wait yeah if ur using self.config to tell the game information about specific instances of a card that probably wont work

[long sun]

sure, hold on

[long sun]

ah, no that's only to access the primed variable of the Oxidised cards

which i added so Weathered cards don't self destruct once turned into Oxidised cards

as iirc the destroy_card context comes after final_scoring_step

[nova cedar]

do you need primed to be different between different grate cards

[long sun]

okay so the way i'm using it

when a card becomes Oxidised, its primed variable is false

and it's only true if context.before happens, and it'll only self destruct if primed is true

[nova cedar]

if you want multiple of your cards to have different values of the same variable, then youd need to access that variable from card.ability, otherwise if im not mistaken it will only access the default variable you set in Joker:config

[normal crest]

Start a new run if it crashes

[daring fern]

Yes, and if there is another one that just turned primed to true it will destroy itself even if it hadn't changed yet.

[nova cedar]

it will assume that every single instance of your joker contains the default settings

[long sun]

gotcha

ah i see

ya also, testing revealed that i was wrong about the cause, as different cards also don't function properly

[nova cedar]

also, if you update the default value, it wont change the value of an instance of ur joker mid-run

you'll have to sell your joker and spawn a new copy

[daring fern]

Yes, because two cards cannot be the same, because of sort_id and other properties.

[normal crest]

Whenever you modify config you have to start a new run, otherwise they'll keep the old config they had

[nova cedar]

^

[nova cedar]

well wait cant u just spawn a new copy of the joker

or am i mistaken about that

[scarlet imp]

am I able to get any information about that specific card after adding? like I want to modify their config by giving them extra mult if a card that gives mult is acquired

[long sun]

ah i've got it working now :D

[normal crest]

you're not mistaken, but saying starting a new run is easier

[daring fern]

No, because it is self.config

[long sun]

thanks :D

[nova cedar]

congrats !!! :D

[normal crest]

After modifying the code they mean

[subtle merlin]

How would i add a counter to all cards using a joker?

[long sun]

i still love how these look :3

[sage crater]

woah those are amazing

[daring fern]

You mean adding a property to all cards or counting how many cards in the full deck?

[sage crater]

btw did you get your thing figured out?

the bug

[scarlet imp]

I might make the suit a little brighter though, I have a little trouble with the first two in particular

[subtle merlin]

the former of the two

[long sun]

ya, it was as ENNWAY said, i was accessing the wrong thing ^^

[subtle merlin]

Minecraft? In balala??

[long sun]

you would not believe your eyes

-# yes :)

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do v.count = true end

[subtle merlin]

ty!

[scarlet imp]

bump

[daring fern]

Yes.

[scarlet imp]

and how would I do that

[daring fern]

if context.card.ability.mult > 0 then context.card.ability.mult = context.card.ability.mult + number end?

You cannot check that the card would give mult.

Or where it would be.

[scarlet imp]

I tried that but card refers to this Joker, since I have this code inside of a calculate function

ideally I'd be using other_card or something but nothing I've tried has given me the results I want

[nova cedar]

got needled

[daring fern]

No, context.card is the card added.

[sage crater]

solid

[normal crest]

context.card

Oops

[red flower]

context.card

[normal crest]

I forgot to scroll down

[red flower]

happens

[normal crest]

once in a blue moon

hi N

[red flower]

hiii

how are u doing

[normal crest]

not bad

Could be better

[slender bay]

I get this crash notification when I use the card, any way to fix this?

[red flower]

card is the consumable not the card highlighted

you want G.hand.highlighted[1]

[obtuse silo]

need some help with creating a Booster Pack type
one that contains specific jokers, and has two variants, a Jumbo variant and a Mega variant

i'm saying this because VanillaRemade doesn't have a page for boosters

[subtle merlin]

That didn't seem to work...

[normal crest]

set it to 0 initially

not true

[subtle merlin]

tried that, same crash

wait i didn't save it before trying-

nvm

[subtle merlin]

I was right the first time, still the same crash

[normal crest]

did you start a new run

[cobalt vector]

I wanna make a Joker that gives itself mult if a discard only contains heart cards. How can I detect if there are only heart cards being discarded?

[subtle merlin]

same crash

[normal crest]

uhm, from what i see the cards will only have the count if you select a blind while you have your joker

[hybrid shadow]

"ability" is nil somewhere in here apparently (i think i may know where it is but have no clue what else i could put there)

[crude kite]

Does anybody know if there is a function in SMODS to change the sprite of a joker with an event?

[daring fern]

There is not.

[subtle merlin]

yep, that was the issue, ty

[crude kite]

Thanks for the quick answer

[obtuse silo]

How do I make it so a booster pack only has a select type of Joker

[red flower]

like what type for example?

[tardy juniper]

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

[crude kite]

In the round or what they reset to after?

[obtuse silo]

i'm pretty sure i can just use the mod prefix to isolate certain cards since that's what i want to get

[tardy juniper]

both

[crude kite]

Thats G.GAME.round_resets.hands and G.GAME.current_round.hands_left respectively

[red flower]

make an objecttype instead
then in create_card you can return { set = "modprefix_key" }

[tardy juniper]

thanks :3

[crude kite]

yw

[hybrid shadow]

yup this is def the problem area (and i gotta try to figure out how to fix it)

[chrome widget]

Can you hook the object init functions?

[crude kite]

Yes, I'm pretty sure one of the SMODS examples does it

[chrome widget]

Do you know which one off the top of your head?

[crude kite]

Here: https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

[mild oak]

guys, how can i learn how to read crash logs 😭

[red flower]

that looks fine except for the context.other_card bit

[mild oak]

all im doing is modifying a localization file

[cobalt vector]

yeah, that's what the error message said

[crude kite]

You forgot to close a bracket or put a comma in your cs.lua file

[chrome widget]

Ohhh sorry, this wasn't what I mean

[cobalt vector]

idk enough about lua to know what to do with it, tho

[mild oak]

uhh... does it say where?

[chrome widget]

The init function for the object class in the vanilla code. Last timeI tried I had some issued b/c the initialization stuff is like slightly more complex or smth? Idk

[crude kite]

about Line 3264

[chrome widget]

I could just try it again

[red flower]

just keep if context.pre_discard and not context.blueprint

[mild oak]

youre a godsend thank you

[cobalt vector]

that's it?

[red flower]

yeah

[crude kite]

Yeah you should be able to capture CardArea.init in a variable and use it as a function just like a regular hook

[red flower]

init_game_object is not the same as the init on an object ironically enough

[chrome widget]

the reason I was curious is becase init_game_object is a more specifed function, whereas CardArea:init is layered multiple times on the object init functions and does some metatable bullshit

[crude kite]

That's fair, I have too little lua knowledge, sorry

[red flower]

oh sorry my brain just autocorrected lol
:is_suit("Hearts")

[obtuse silo]

so
would i list every joker in my mod under the ObjectType's "cards" parameter?

[red flower]

yes

i do it automatically in my mod if you want an example of that

wait no nvm my example doesnt work with other mods i changed it

[chrome widget]

Basically I'm having to do some fun surgery to see if I can have hidden cards in the Joker slots be calculated as if they're regular jokers and minding the event queue, while never visibly displaying them (because they represented by a different card that sits in the consumeeable slots)

Weirdness on weirdness

But I'll figure it out

[red flower]

good luck

[chrome widget]

Anyway I hope hooking CardArea:init doesn't cause something to blow up

[obtuse silo]

like

j_modprefix_key1 = true
j_modprefix_key2 = true```
etc. etc.?

[red flower]

yes

[slender bay]

does nothing

[daring fern]

G.hand.highlighted[1] not G.hand.highlighted

[slender bay]

oh

all instances or a specific one?

[crude kite]

Not only that but I'm pretty sure your if check is scuffed

if #G.hand.highlighted == 1 not if G.hand.highlighted == 1

[cobalt vector]

the game doesn't crash anymore, but now it gives mult whenever I discard a hand that has any heart cards. I want it to give mult when the discarded hand only has heart cards

[red flower]

uhh let me reread the logic

[red flower]

heart_cards >= 0 should be only heart_cards > 0

[cobalt vector]

yeah, I caught that too

[cobalt vector]

it doesn't change this problem, though

[hybrid shadow]

whats the current code (ive done this before with played hand)

[blazing salmon]

if you discarded 2 spades and then 3 hearts it would count as 3 heart cards cause it checks each card individually

[cobalt vector]

ahh

[blazing salmon]

maybe you could use some sort of bool value if the card is not a heart then set it to false so it doesnt add the mult

[red flower]

ok yeah i see that

[blazing salmon]

for the entire discarded hand

[crude kite]

Yeah just a bool, for loop and return if

[cobalt vector]

gotta figure out how to use bool values then :D

wait, are they just true or false?

[crude kite]

Make it true by default, if something is NOT hearts, set it false.
If it's still true, return x_mult

[blazing salmon]

yea lol

[red flower]

local has_only_hearts = true
for _, pcard in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
    if not pcard:is_suit("Hearts") then
        has_only_hearts = false
        break
    end
end

[crude kite]

Yes, bools are either true, false or nil

[red flower]

nil is not bool

[crude kite]

mb

true/false

[blazing salmon]

anybody know how i could scale mult on a joker when food jokers are fully consumed and destroyed throughout a run

kinda like throwback

[crude kite]

Check the cardarea on context.destroying_card

[pure salmon]

maximus has a similar card (leftovers), poke around and see what they did

[scarlet imp]

i think they want it to be retroactive as well, you'd probably need a global variable of some kind

[red flower]

context.destroying_card is to destroy playing cards, not to check cards destroyed

[crude kite]

Is it not?

[red flower]

no

[pure salmon]

why does this result in cards being selected in the deck after a discard
