[red flower]

there's no context for non-playing cards being destroyed

[crude kite]

Oh wow I'm a genious

[blazing salmon]

yeah yeah

[red flower]

you would probably need to patch or take ownership of food jokers honestly

[blazing salmon]

ill check it out

[crude kite]

I don't think your unhighlighting your cards

[pure salmon]

i shouldn't have to, right? if they're being discarded they should be unhighlighted

wtaf

[cobalt vector]

what does pcard mean?

[unborn bay]

i mean can't you just hook card: remove()

[scarlet imp]

brutal boss blind btw

[hybrid shadow]

playing card (i think)

[unborn bay]

though that means you have to determine if that card is either sold to be consumed

or eaten

[red flower]

playing card, just a name i gave it because v doesn't tell you much

[obtuse silo]

would this work?

[unborn bay]

which is another problem

[cobalt vector]

so I can just name it whatever then?

[red flower]

yes

[red flower]

it should

[pure salmon]

thank you, i wish it worked properly

actually i think i got it

how do i check if a card is highlighted

[cobalt vector]

well, now it works!

hell yeah!

[daring fern]

card.highlighted?

[chrome widget]

oh god more recursive table searching uhhh

[daring fern]

You're not putting those values in config.extra, you're just putting them in config.

[obtuse silo]

ohhhh

[obtuse silo]

it didn't :(
(happened upon opening the booster pack)

[pure salmon]

ok cool this works on discard now but NOT on play, where the played cards flip around and their scoring values appear above the deck

[red flower]

your config was correct before, loc_vars was incorrect

[obtuse silo]

what?

here's the code again btw

[red flower]

the config in this screenshot was correct, from the logs it seems like you changed it

the loc_vars had the problem something mentioned

[obtuse silo]

yeah
i did have to change it because even looking at the object would have crashed the game

the difference now is that it crashes when i open the thing

[red flower]

yes but the problem is in loc_vars, not in the config

[hybrid shadow]

theres only one spectral that has a "negative" effect that im not letting this one change

[red flower]

ecto?

[hybrid shadow]

nah, immolate

[obtuse silo]

just tell me what i need to do

[hybrid shadow]

i dont consider immolate deleting 5 of your cards to be that much of a downside

[red flower]

at least i could get a please

you need to remove the extra .extra

[obtuse silo]

oh
sorry
lemme try your way

[obtuse silo]

alright
exact same issue
it's got nothing to do with the variable names

because I changed those to how you prefer to do em'
and i'm getting the exact same error

[red flower]

did you change the config back?

[obtuse silo]

yes.

[red flower]

did you restart the run?

[subtle merlin]

I have an issue (yes, another one and yes, with the same enhancement as earlier, shocking.)

I have an enhancement that counts each time it's played. On the third time its played, it self-destructs granting 3x mult. The issue is, that when scored with other cards that self-destruct on the same turn, they retrigger the 3x mult, leading to scores that shouldn't be possible ante 1, but i have no idea where to start with fixing it (Video is there in case my explanation wasn't good enough to understand the issue)

[obtuse silo]

alright
lemme try that cuz i continued instead

i continued the run after restarting the game, i mean

[red flower]

yeah boosters save config values like jokers do

[obtuse silo]

that makes sense

[red flower]

context.destroy_card == card?

[agile night]

sorry for disrupting but do any of you guys know what the key to replace the tarot merchant and tycoon vouchers? i was searching for the wiki for like an eternity and couldnt find it (in malverk)

[sonic cedar]

how would i have like a constant check for if a joker is to the left of a joker? like what would the if statement be

[subtle merlin]

Yea that was it, ty

[hybrid shadow]

is there a parameter that i can use to check if the player isnt on the main menu/ in the collection menu (evidently some of my stickers crash the game when you attempt to view them in the main menu due to their apply function being called and blind being nil in the main menu)

[hollow snow]

guys my mod is done, i just need to do the info_queue to explain some of my joker, how do you add that

[hybrid shadow]

ok yup major issue (if i view them in the collection menu while in a blind it actually runs the code)

[north lodge]

Add a check for that function to see if you're in game or not

G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN

[daring fern]

Couldn't you just do if G.GAME and G.GAME.blind?

[obtuse silo]

new error message just dropped

probably because there's no iteration

[hollow snow]

also does the SMODS.add_card take care of not adding it in case of card_limit reached?

[daring fern]

No, it would be quite bad if it did.

[red flower]

that means it couldn't find the cards in the pool

[hollow snow]

ok thanks

[red flower]

the set might be without the modprefix i think

[obtuse silo]

lemme try that

[scenic steeple]

so right now, it's meant to destroy the current joker (Alt) and create this other joker (Devotion) when it detects that a fourth of the deck is wild cards. Instead it's turning into Devotion whenever

1. I play a hand (not automatically)
2. it's ignoring the fact wilds are not making up a fourth of the deck

[obtuse silo]

it works now
thank you for bearing with me

[hybrid shadow]

G.GAME is always true evidently

[hybrid shadow]

this partly fixed it

[sonic cedar]

bumping with an example of what i mean

[woeful obsidian]

Hi papus

[north lodge]

I would suggest looking at Blueprint code and the Blueprint mod code as well.

[woeful obsidian]

anyone knows what method is used to apply a variable to the first card figure of the hand, similar to photography

[sonic cedar]

ok but smods just uses blueprint_effect, and i dont think that's documented (from what ive seen)

where is it in the code if it isnt?

[daring fern]

Yes, but it wont crash if you check it and it doesn't exist.

[daring fern]

You would get the pos then get pos-1

[hybrid shadow]

the effect still happens if the collection menu is open during a run which is an issue

[north lodge]

Do a check for the CardArea it exists in

[sonic cedar]

???

[woeful obsidian]

PUTOS

[daring fern]

No.

[sonic cedar]

im listening

[hybrid shadow]

the issue with that is that when cards are in the collection menu, context is nil so i cant do context.cardarea == G.hand

[daring fern]

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

[north lodge]

Well then make sure context isn't nil then?

[sonic cedar]

i seeeeeeeeee
let me whip something up

[daring fern]

card.area == G.hand?

[north lodge]

^^^^

That's the better way of doing it though

[hybrid shadow]

this fixed it thanks

[woeful obsidian]

Hey does anyone know what method is used to add a variable to the first card of the hand

[north lodge]

What do you mean by "a variable"? What are you trying to accomplish?

If you're trying to achieve a similar result to The Photograph, then I would suggest taking a look at the photograph source code.

if self.ability.name == 'Photograph' then
    local first_face = nil
    for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
        if context.scoring_hand[i]:is_face() then first_face = context.scoring_hand[i]; break end
    end
    if context.other_card == first_face then
        return {
            x_mult = self.ability.extra,
            colour = G.C.RED,
            card = self
        }
    end
end

[woeful obsidian]

Thanks a lot

[sonic cedar]

how's this?

[hollow snow]

what is the normal info_queue structure?

[scenic steeple]

so right now, it's meant to destroy the current joker (Alt) and create this other joker (Devotion) when it detects that a fourth of the deck is wild cards. Instead it's turning into Devotion whenever

1. I play a hand (not when a fourth of the deck is wild)
2. it's ignoring the fact wilds are not making up a fourth of the deck

[daring fern]

No, it's G.jokers.cards[i]

[north lodge]

You're using wilds in your for loop which results in the value being changed not as you intend.

[sonic cedar]

i fixed it after the ss, remnant from the other_joker setup

otherwise good?

[north lodge]

Use temp values for your key value pair, don't use other variables.

[daring fern]

Perhaps.

[sonic cedar]

ill test it in a bit though,i gotta leave rq

[scenic steeple]

well, changing that just a bit, I'm still getting the same outcome, perhaps the change I made was wrong

[woeful obsidian]

Hey last question is there any place that documents all the skills of jokers in script or written somewhere that are compatible with steammoded?

[north lodge]

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

[woeful obsidian]

Thanks

[north lodge]

Clearly @daring fern has something to say about that but won't actually type it out, so I may be incorrect.

[normal crest]

no, I think what you sent is exactly what they asked for

it's just not really "documented"

[daring fern]

No, I'm just wondering, why ceremonial dagger specifically?

[normal crest]

more like a showcase

[north lodge]

Because that was the last linked instance of that repo and I simply copied the link.

[red flower]

im bad at docs

[normal crest]

you're not the only one

[modern kindle]

Youre the best doc ive ever had

[red flower]

for legal reasons I would like to say that I'm not and have never practiced medicine

[sonic cedar]

you saved like 8 babies bro

[zealous glen]

Hello Dilly

[zealous glen]

But do you have a PhD

[modern kindle]

Hello vic how are you

[hollow snow]

how can i make it so my joker can't be deleted by ceremonial dagger?

[scenic steeple]

tada? I still ended up having the same problem with this change so I could be way wrong

[zealous glen]

I’m okay and you?

[sonic cedar]

make it eternal

[modern kindle]

Im doing okay, finally got some motivation and fixed a bunch of stuff for my mod while my mood is up

[daring fern]

You would patch/take ownership of it.

[sage crater]

how do I make a joker take up no space in the joker slots?

like if I have four jokers, one of them being this joker, the slots would say 3/5

[red flower]

i dont think you can without a lot of jank, I wouldn't recommend it

[sage crater]

damn

[north lodge]

Just make it negative :)

[sage crater]

guaranteed negative it is 😔

[red flower]

yeah

[sage crater]

that's what it is currently, but I was hoping for a solution that wouldn't include the negative shader, since the art will always be the wrong colors

actually, if I just put +1 joker slot in the stats, that should work lmao

[north lodge]

Try and do debugging to see why it might not be working the way you want it to.

[red flower]

you can make an edition with a card_limit

and not have a shader

[daring fern]

If you just wanted it to say that then you would do G.jokers.config.card_count = G.jokers.config.card_count - 1 I think.

[sage crater]

oh, fascinating

[mild olive]

I'm trying to make my joker do a X5 mult when having a Flush of diamonds but it doesn't really do it, did i do something wrong

or probably i did everything wrong idk

[hollow snow]

and remember to make it give the space when sold, or not depending on your use

[obtuse silo]

guhhh

[granite nymph]

does anyone know the shop rate for spectrals?

[daring fern]

They don't appear in the shop?

[north lodge]

When you have Omen Globe? 20%
You said shop rate oops

Otherwise, if you're referring to like pulling The Soul or Black Hole it is .3%

[daring fern]

Nothing you said appears in the shop?

[north lodge]

I corrected myself

[proud ridge]

Ok so i am having an issue where i am trying to make a joker trigger +chips then xmult, but it triggers both of them at the same time, rather than one after the next. Would anyone know how to make them trigger one and then the other?

[granite nymph]

delay = SECONDS GO HERE,
perhaps?

[daring fern]

Remove the messages then do xmult = number, chips = number

You are defining the message twice.

[nova eagle]

hey guys, what is the reference key for tier 2 vouchers?

im making a joker that after a while creates a tier 2 voucher of an already owned tier 1

for example if you own seed money: it would give you money tree

[daring fern]

You would have to check manually.

[nova eagle]

so if i want it to hit a random: would i have to list all possible vouchers?

[daring fern]

Probably.

[azure plinth]

If I'm trying to get something to trigger after beating a boss blind, but before receiving the payout of this boss blind, how would I achieve this?

[proud ridge]

it will be sending two different messages tho, right? once for +chips, then again for xmult?

[daring fern]

No, because the game looks for .message and you are overwriting the first one.

return {
    chips = card.ability.extra.chips
    xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
}

[red flower]

context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss

[azure plinth]

Thank you, worked perfectly!

[proud ridge]

i removed the messages and it didn’t show that it triggered

[daring fern]

@proud ridge

[granite nymph]

does anyone iknwo how to put a card on the title screen?

kind of like cryptid

[daring fern]

Try looking at Cryptid.

[proud ridge]

ok that worked, thanks!!

ehy did thag send 5 times

[granite nymph]

cryptid code is incoherent black magic

[proud ridge]

there we go

[subtle merlin]

Iirc paperback does that, too

[daring fern]

No?

[subtle merlin]

Hold on, let me check my mods

[granite nymph]

which file is this in?

[daring fern]

lib/misc.lua

[subtle merlin]

I was thinking of Aiko

[granite nymph]

yeah but aiko has like 40 lua files

i didn’t feel like looking through all of them

[subtle merlin]

fair

[obtuse silo]

some help would be much appreciated

[daring fern]

If you have vscode you can press CTRL + SHIFT + F to search all files.

[granite nymph]

i didn’t know what i was looking for

[blazing salmon]

hi im back, how would you go about this?

[mild olive]

is there something wrong with this code that it doesn't work

[scarlet imp]

Never done something like that myself, but if you look at Jokers like the Tarot one or Throwback, the game keeps track on the stats they rely on from run start. You probably just wanna do the same thing by declaring your own global variable

[daring fern]

Yes.

[mild olive]

what is it

[daring fern]

Replace center in the functions with card and do x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult in the return.

[blazing salmon]

Ok i believe i found it after looking through the game.lua file, thank you!

[mild olive]

same result

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

You didn't change the return also you swapped context and card

[mild olive]

?

wdym swapped context and card

[daring fern]

context was in the third spot now it is in the second spot also remove everything else in the return.

[shell kite]

Is possible to get the score of a played hand?
I want to make a joker that trigger if a certain score is reached

[daring fern]

Yes.

[shell kite]

How?

[daring fern]

By score do you mean chips multiplied by mult?

[shell kite]

Yes

[daring fern]

hand_chips * mult

[mild olive]

still nothing

[daring fern]

Code?

[shell kite]

Thanks

[final monolith]

I'm trying to make a mod and it magically isn't crashing the game anymore

(i have barely any experience with Lua)

[obtuse silo]

please?

[wintry solar]

are you testing on a new run or on an old snapshot?

[shell kite]

Is any context. necessary?

[mild olive]

does that matter? 💔

gen question btw

[wintry solar]

if you've changed your config it does yeah

anything in here won't update until it's a new instance of the card

[nova cedar]

cavendish final form

(effects incomplete)

[sage crater]

is that a shader??

[mild olive]

it now works,,...

thanks

😭

[nova cedar]

it's three sprites stacked

[sage crater]

ah, ok

it looks amazing

[final monolith]

Is there any documentation listing properties, names etc? I know there's many examples around but it would be a lot easier

[nova cedar]

ty!

[sage crater]

here's the wiki
but if you want a more specific answer, you have to give more information on what you're looking for

[nova cedar]

i do have a list of every calculation context

got it from this discord, someone regex'd every single mention of each context within the code

[final monolith]

Thanks!
I'd like to try to understand it myself since I already have decent experience in coding

[nova cedar]

for a lua API without ldoc or anything, this is one of the best-documented APIs i've seen

[sage crater]

do you know lua?

[final monolith]

Currently I'm trying to figure out why my joker gives the message pretty much always

[hybrid shadow]

so glad that im finally done coding this one

[hollow snow]

what is the property of G.jokers that dictates the size

[wintry solar]

that list isn't particularly helpful, you'd be much better served looking at the calculation docs page

[final monolith]

I had a little experience with Lua in the past

[nova cedar]

i've made modding APIs before and making a documentation as concise and understandable as the smods wiki is not an easy task

[wintry solar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions I'd recommend reading this page, and then if you're still struggling asking any questions you might have

[hollow snow]

i mean G.jokers the card area size

[sage crater]

oh lol

card_limit

[hollow snow]

thanks

[final monolith]

What's "context.individual"? I found it in several example scripts but it's not explained there

[wintry solar]

context.individual is a flag in certain contexts that indicates an individual palying card is being evaluated for some step

[zealous glen]

Immolation doesn’t give money :0

[hasty mist]

hm, that doesn't look right

[blazing salmon]

how can i spawn jokers for testing

[north lodge]

DebugPlus makes it easy

[hasty mist]

code for reference

i think it's close, but the numbers dont seem to be exact

not sure why

[blazing salmon]

which command?

[zealous glen]

CTRL+3

Or CTRL+C

[zealous glen]

Maybe you don’t need CTRL here

[blazing salmon]

thank you!

[hasty mist]

what

ok that is NOT right

@wintry solar sorry for the ping, you were helping me with this yesterday

i am quite confused

[final monolith]

modding Balatro has made me so crazy that I accidentally booted up Everhood instead of Balatro

[wintry solar]

this is the current code?

[hybrid shadow]

why would immolation not give money

[hasty mist]

yes

[final monolith]

Guys my code is working
Not properly, not at all
But at least it's working

[normal crest]

they're probably referring to how immolate destroying cards is a good thing

[hybrid shadow]

thats why Blood doesnt affect immolate at all

[normal crest]

makes sense

good choice

[wintry solar]

can you paste the code directly then I can add some debug stuff in for you to run?

[obtuse silo]

i could really use some help with making a new consumable type, last thing i tried came up with this error

[hasty mist]

hope this works

[zealous glen]

That disables Vagabond

destroying cards is the upside so the money must be the downside

[hybrid shadow]

vagabond sucks anyway

[wintry solar]

local congruentia_mult = mod_mult
mod_mult = function(mult_change)
    local result = congruentia_mult(mult_change)  
    if next(SMODS.find_card('j_ast_congruentia')) then
        print('mult_change: '..result)
        print('current mult: '..mult)
        print('current chips: '..hand_chips)
        print('change? '..(to_big(mult+result)>to_big(hand_chips)))
        if (to_big(mult)) + (to_big(result)) > (to_big(hand_chips)) then
            hand_chips = (mult+result)-hand_chips
            print('chips set: '..hand_chips)
        end
    end
    return result
end

just change this mult one for now and run the single 6 again please

[hybrid shadow]

if youre at the point where youre using immolate youre probably not worrying too hard about needing to roll tarots each hand

[hasty mist]

oops

[proud ridge]

are there any mods for assistance when mod developing? ones that let u spawn jokers, clear blinds, get money, stuff like that

[hasty mist]

debugplus!

[proud ridge]

oohhh hell yeah!!!

[wintry solar]

oh uhhh throw a (mult or 0) over all the mult values

probably need a (hand_chips or 0) too

[hasty mist]

every single one?

[wintry solar]

yeah

or

at the top you can put mult = mult or 0

[final monolith]

Probably noob question but how do I check how many cards with a specific rank/suit there are in the full deck?

I tried copying the code from cloud 9 and bloodstone but it didn't work

[hasty mist]

that seems easier

[proud ridge]

i know that the cryptid mod has a special qualification for food jokers, is that cryptid specific?

[hasty mist]

so like this?

or should it be in a diff place

[proud ridge]

i wanna make a joker that scales when u purchase food jokers but not sure how ><

[wintry solar]

that's fine, do hand_chips = hand_chips or 0 too

[hasty mist]

alrighty

[wintry solar]

oh hold on, I missed a tostring too

print('change? '..tostring(to_big(mult+result)>to_big(hand_chips)))

[hasty mist]

alr it looks like this now

or wait

oh

it replaces line 96

i see

[subtle merlin]

context.buying_card and context.opening_booster exists, i can't help with it all bc i wouldn't know how to detect food jokers, but it should be a start

[wintry solar]

yeah, try running it now

[hasty mist]

alrigthy

that seems right i think

[plush depot]

bonanna

[wintry solar]

wtf why doesn't it do the prints properly

oh

I guess you don't add any mult here

[hasty mist]

it seems to function at least

[wintry solar]

give yourself a mult joker and try it again

[coarse plank]

how do you check for a minimum number of cards played?

[wintry solar]

if you could remove the chips function prints too that would be handy

[hasty mist]

wait should i edit the chips section to match the mult section too

[wintry solar]

no

[hasty mist]

because rn it looks like this

[wintry solar]

I just want to see the mult values for now

[hasty mist]

alr

[subtle merlin]

#context.scoring_hand >= num?

[hasty mist]

does this work?

[wintry solar]

looks like it works fine to me

I'd remove all the prints and copy the mult=mult or 0 and handchips ones into the chips function too

[hasty mist]

alr

[coarse plank]

how do you check for first discard used?

[formal parrot]

CODING HUH

[final monolith]

How would I go about checking for cards with specific suit/rank in the full deck?

[formal parrot]

You need to make a for

[solid mesa]

sorry, whats the context when a round ends?

[formal parrot]

for i = #G.playing_cards, 1, -1 do

[formal parrot]

Forgor

[final monolith]

So G.playing cards is the full deck?

[solid mesa]

thx, i will try that

[granite nymph]

woah homestuick

[formal parrot]

if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers then { cardarea = G.jokers, -- G.hand, (G.deck and G.discard optionally enabled) end_of_round = true, game_over = game_over -- true or false }

Give me a kiss now

[formal parrot]

Yes

[subtle merlin]

context.end_of_round

[solid mesa]

yea i find him, now i have issues

ty all

[formal parrot]

😭🫡just read the wiki

[formal parrot]

Where’s my kiss

[solid mesa]

im not a p

[subtle merlin]

we should get someone to pin the wiki in this channel

[solid mesa]

no, i dont want furina

[formal parrot]

IM 20😭

[narrow pollen]

would be nice, yeah

[solid mesa]

I SAID NO

[granite nymph]

cryptid code strikes again

[final monolith]

You mean the GitHub one?

[granite nymph]

this crashes

[subtle merlin]

yea

[solid mesa]

XDDD

[final monolith]

I read that but it's hard lmao that's why I'm still asking here

[solid mesa]

im trying to do a scalating joker, but, eh

[final monolith]

I can't really find what I'm looking for

[granite nymph]

does anyone how to put a card on tyh title screen

like cryptid or aiko

[formal parrot]

Sadly no i’m stupid

[subtle merlin]

Dw, Eremel will come out with a rework for it in [200 years]

[formal parrot]

But you can look in other people’s codes and find it

[subtle merlin]

but it can still be somewhat helpful rn

[solid mesa]

tf i do wrong, now mult is stuck in e11

[final monolith]

True but sometimes the code you copy doesn't work

[formal parrot]

I think its a draw function

[final monolith]

I got some "ipairs" in my code idk what it means

[formal parrot]

Uhh i had this error today

Forgot what it meant

[final monolith]

It doesn't give me any errors that's the funny part

[obtuse silo]

one last time before i head to bed
could someone please help me out with this
this happens as soon as i click the button to see the "consumables"

[final monolith]

So uhhh

[final monolith]

Could anyone help with this still

[final monolith]

Issue is I don't know the syntax for a card's suit or rank and I can't find it in the wiki

[final monolith]

Ah yes "la"

[granite nymph]

theres supposed to be a joker to the very right

[formal parrot]

The code says cryptid spectral

Change the

Local newcard

[granite nymph]

look at gp centers

[formal parrot]

Im too stupid for this shit

[subtle merlin]

Stupid card idea that i had and want to share despite it's probable unoriginality:

"Armed and Dangerous"
"If the current hand scores [x]% of the blind requirement, retrigger all cards scored for every 10% of the blind requirement scored and raise [x] by 10"
"(Percentage resets at the end of the round)"

[tight notch]

for some reason this joker works but it doesn't destroy the card

[hybrid shadow]

if you move the cryptid card does it show anything underneath

[subtle merlin]

remove = true?

[tight notch]

where do i put that

[hybrid shadow]

what is happening here

[granite nymph]

theres an invisible joker

j_yip_pickles

[subtle merlin]

return table

[hybrid shadow]

does... does it have an atlas

[formal parrot]

😈

[granite nymph]

the joker itself works perfectly fine in play

but it doesnt show up on the menu

[hybrid shadow]

uh have you tried making the center something else first and seeing if that works

[tight notch]

it still doesn't work

the card just stays

[hybrid shadow]

add context.destroy_card to the last if statement and see if that works

[subtle merlin]

that, too

[tight notch]

the card doesn't do anything anymore but it stays

[hybrid shadow]

wait is this destroying jokers or destroying playing cards

[tight notch]

destroying jokers

[hybrid shadow]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/632276e2639258992543a1754bf1f55cbb5de550/src/jokers.lua#L1739

[tight notch]

also after adding that it doesn't do anything now

i've been following that this entire time

[hybrid shadow]

whats with all the extra stuff in the if statement then

[tight notch]

actually i meant ceremonial dagger

i thought that's what you sent

[final monolith]

What's the difference between base.suit and extra.suit

Is it like for wildcard and smeared?

[tight notch]

ah i think i forgot joker buffer

nope, still doesn't work

the joker acts like it isn't there but isn't gone

but still takes up a slot

[tight notch]

?

[hollow snow]

what is the limit for jokers stored in? nvm its G.jokers.config.card_limit

[hybrid shadow]

asked that before you corrected yourself

[thorn flame]

YOURE homestuck

[north lodge]

So I have learned that create_option_cycle has a funny thing in it where it sets the option_cycle with a value, non_recalc = true which makes me think this has been the root cause of the option cycles not updating for whatever reason. Should I just copy the create_option_cycle(args) function, remove that part, and use that modified function?

[hybrid shadow]

wait, if theyre homestuck... and im homestuck... then whos driving the bus?

[final monolith]

MY FIRST JOKER WORKS

It took... Less than I expected actually

[north lodge]

The option_cycles are the only UI element that uses this 😅 god

[hybrid shadow]

me when i made my first non-gros michel based joker

[thorn flame]

what is it

show show show

[final monolith]

Each card gains 0.2 mult for each copy in the full deck (I didn't really think about the balance of it)

Like you have 3 kings of spades now a king of spades gives x1.4 mult

[hollow snow]

lowkey very good

[final monolith]

Idk if .2 is too much or too little but eh I'm gonna figure it out later

Now it's 3 am lmao

[granite nymph]

still doesnt work

[hollow snow]

also is there a way to generate random float between a range, lets say 0.5 - 0.8 within smods or the game's functions?

[final monolith]

Actually I'm gonna see what reddit thinks (after my PC is done updating screw windows)

[hybrid shadow]

with the other card center?

[north lodge]

@manic rune sorry for the @ but I wanted to show you this finding given we were losing our minds over it last night

[granite nymph]

as in gp.cardfs

?

[hybrid shadow]

G.P_CENTERS being something else

[granite nymph]

oh yeah

i used c_soul

still broken

[hybrid shadow]

then its probably a code problem

[granite nymph]

it works in cryptid

[hybrid shadow]

have you tried looking at the other mod that does this to your main menu

[granite nymph]

theres like 20 files in aiko shenanigans

[formal parrot]

He likes spamming random bullshit

[hybrid shadow]

stupid question but is there anything in any mod that retriggers played cards in sequence from left to right disregarding when they originally trigger

[hollow snow]

what was the on_remove function for jokers?

[red flower]

remove_from_deck

[modern kindle]

I took a nap hello chat

[red flower]

was it good

[modern kindle]

I slept so sloppy I was droolin

So I'd guess so

[subtle merlin]

            for i, scoredCard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                    return {
                        message = "Again!",
                        repetitions = 1,
                    }
            end

Is what I used, it retriggers all played cards once, at least for me

[modern kindle]

But now that I'm waking up, how much of a nuisance is it to add a whole new category to the stats page
I want to make a direct opposite to each of the current stats of most used cards

So I can do shit with the least used of eacg

Each

[subtle merlin]

I thought i had it working but turns out i didn't, this triggers even if the card wasn't retriggered

[hybrid shadow]

do i need to do anything extra to make sure this works or does this work by default

[subtle merlin]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and not context.repetition_only then

[hybrid shadow]

oh does context.main_scoring not work for this

[subtle merlin]

Never tried it, but maybe

[hybrid shadow]

i will try it as is first and then change it if it doesnt work

yeah ok does not work as is will switch it

[hollow snow]

what is the context of the card being removed?

[subtle merlin]

Ik there is but idk the variable for it, try G.GAME.blind.reward maybe?

[subtle merlin]

context.remove_playing_cards

(I know enough to help ppl now!! :3)

[hollow snow]

i mean removing a joker sorry, like the card im in the calculate function rn

[hybrid shadow]

is context.repetition an optional feature

[subtle merlin]

You're not going to break your computer by messing around, if you want to try something then try it

[hybrid shadow]

no i mean like would it go in the smods optional features

[subtle merlin]

Oh i have NO idea lmao

[subtle merlin]

only way I know to remove a joker is return = {remove = true} but i've never removed a joker before, sorry

[granite nymph]

is there any way to check each cards rank in a hand indivisually

like

[hollow snow]

ok, np ty im reading the calculate thing and i think i got what i need

[subtle merlin]

card.base.value is the way to check it (assuming that card is defined earlier in the program, obviously)

[hybrid shadow]

what does your smods optional features table look like

[subtle merlin]

Then im out of ideas, you'd want to deffer to someone smarter

[subtle merlin]

You say that like ik what that is

[granite nymph]

could i do something like
if card1.rank + card2.rank + card3.rank + card4.rank + card5.rank = 21 (not exactly in those words i mean)

[subtle merlin]

I don't have that for my mod, i thought you meant a joker causing it or smth

[normal crest]

no

[subtle merlin]

card.rank.value returns the name of what it is, like "Ace" or "Queen"

[subtle merlin]

Oh good, someone smarter than me

[normal crest]

that's high praise

[subtle merlin]

Look at the answers ive given out above...

[modern kindle]

Srock you're a smarty marty

You deserve your very own mcflurry

With m&ms

[subtle merlin]

It isn't a high bar but you pass it by a long shot

[granite nymph]

can i get rank as a number though

[normal crest]

thank you

[granite nymph]

and also for a specific card played not just to look for a specific card played

[normal crest]

you can get the amount of chips the rank gives or the id of the rank

what do you want to do with the rank as a number

[modern kindle]

I was gonna suggest get_id myself
I be using it

[subtle merlin]

Now that there's someone else answering i feel i can go back to asking questions :3

[granite nymph]

im trying to cvheck if all the numbers added equals a certain numver

[subtle merlin]

bop

[normal crest]

card.base.nominal is the amount of chips the rank gives if that's what you need

card being the playing card you want to get the rank of

[hybrid shadow]

is there a way i can make my sticker retrigger all played cards when its scored (i already know that context.main_scoring is the right context for when the sticker is scored but i cant seem to figure out retriggering cards independent of their original timing)

[granite nymph]

how do i get the rank of a certain card played

like first card of hand

second card of hand

etc

[normal crest]

i don't think you can do that sadly

[modern kindle]

what exactly are you trying to figure out

cause im able to add ranks together in checking for things like blackjack

[hybrid shadow]

damn

[granite nymph]

thats\

wahat im doing lmao

checking for a blackjack

[subtle merlin]

Wait you wanted it for a sticker? Then what was the optional features thing?

[hybrid shadow]

because the parameters for the if statement werent working

[normal crest]

cus repetitions are calculated before anything is scored, what you're trying to do requires hooking whatever function is responsible for calculating the amount of repetitions a card gets

[modern kindle]

lmao alright hang on ill dm you what i do, cause im also accounting for stone cards as well as making aces count as 1 and 11

[unborn bay]

i mean you can just do that manually as its main effect

instead of relying on calculating retriggers

[subtle merlin]

There's a mod that checks for that already, named high priestess, maybe check that?

[normal crest]

i don't think there's a context that allows a sticker to retrigger other cards in hand

only itself

[unborn bay]

i mean its main effect

then using SMODS.score_card

[hollow snow]

so i want to do a sound effect and a message when my joker gets destroyed, how could i do that?

[normal crest]

oh right, that exists

[unborn bay]

score_card the goat

[hybrid shadow]

how would i do this

the whole thing not just SMODS.score_card

[sturdy compass]

I forget, does SMODS add a context for entering the shop?

[normal crest]

loop through context.full_hand or scoring_hand depending on what you want and call score_card on them

[normal crest]

starting_shop yeah

[sturdy compass]

Sick

[normal crest]

every time a card is scored you're incrementing the count for every card in the scoring hand

inside the context.individual check only increment context.other_card's count

[subtle merlin]

That's what i thought but i didnt know how to fix it

[subtle merlin]

Ty!

[hollow snow]

how do you access the game's sfx volume setting? so i can make my sounds scale with sfx volume

[hybrid shadow]

like this?

[normal crest]

the game settings should be in G.SETTINGS

but idk the exact values you're looking for

[subtle merlin]

crashes

[normal crest]

try just SMODS.score_card(v, {}), that said I have never used this function myself

so it's probably wrong

[hollow snow]

ty, found it if anyone's curious its G.SETTINGS.SOUND.game_sounds_volume

[normal crest]

and don't return

[normal crest]

what's the code and the crash

[hybrid shadow]

well it stopped crashing but it doesnt work either (i wont ping here but just gonna say)

[wild escarp]

Any reason this doesn't work? Basically just copied from extra credit alloy joker

if context.check_enhancement then
    if context.other_card.config.center.key == "m_glass" then
        return {m_steel = true}
    end
end

[hybrid shadow]

and yes i did remove the return

[subtle merlin]

If you would humor me for a moment, would you please try commenting out SMODS.score_card and add repetitions = 1 to a return

[red flower]

do you have the optional feature enabled?

[normal crest]

looking at the code more, I'd remove the context.before part, inside context.individual remove the for loop and do context.other_card.count = (context.other_card.count or 0) + 1

[wild escarp]

Nope, thanks!

[unborn bay]

you're supposed to attach the current context

SMODS.score_card(card, context)

[hybrid shadow]

only works for the card the sticker's on

[normal crest]

oh I see

[hybrid shadow]

so context.repetition?

[normal crest]

I mean I think you can still make them score in a void by passing a cardarea too, looking at the code

[subtle merlin]

ah, oki, sry

[chrome widget]

is multi-line attention text a built-in feature currently?

[zenith hedge]

how do i fix this

[red flower]

i dont think so?

[normal crest]

no, you should do this in context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play, didn't notice you still had repetition there

[zenith hedge]

the code

[red flower]

how does your assets folder look

[zenith hedge]

my 1x folder

should it be in x2

[red flower]

remove the prefix from the file

[zenith hedge]

the .png?

[red flower]

it should be the exact same as the path

[red flower]

no that's the suffix

[hybrid shadow]

nope

[zenith hedge]

yea i had it without the xmpl_

was broken

[subtle merlin]

It worked!

[normal crest]

you do need it in both

[zenith hedge]

oh

thats probably why it dont work

[normal crest]

but also remove the prefix from the file

[zenith hedge]

i did that

it broke again and i have no idea what this means

[normal crest]

what's line 193 of your main.lua

[zenith hedge]

it has to say jokers.ability.extra.seal for jokers right

[hybrid shadow]

wow i cannot get this context right

[normal crest]

okay what are you trying to do

that code is not in the right place whatsoever

[zenith hedge]

add a seal to a card

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know why running this code is causing this crash?
changing discard limit in other places seems to be fine but it just doesnt work here for some reason

[zenith hedge]

through a consumable

[normal crest]

use . not :

[umbral zodiac]

oh im geeked thank you

[hybrid shadow]

well i got it to stop crashing at least

[umbral zodiac]

i do wish that it didnt matter at all

[normal crest]

all of those events should be inside your consumable's use function

[zenith hedge]

whats the use function

[hollow snow]

what would be the context to this situation, i kinda finished my thing so i can help (maybe)

[normal crest]

SMODS:something(2) is the same as SMODS.something(SMODS, 2) in lua

[granite nymph]

i dotn think it worked

[umbral zodiac]

yea i know its just
easy to forget

or not notice that you used the wrong one

[faint yacht]

dollars = ...

[hybrid shadow]

im trying to do this but evidently i cant figure it out #💻・modding-dev message

[normal crest]

for smods you never have to use :

[normal crest]

what do you have as your code rn

[granite nymph]

dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars
?

[faint yacht]

ye.

[hybrid shadow]

i didnt read your first reply in regards to context, gimme a sec to fix that

[wild escarp]

How would I force glass cards to always shatter with a joker?

[hollow snow]

can't find it in the wiki so idk, ill keep searching

[normal crest]

in the context.destroy_card context you can return { remove = true }

if the other card is glass

[hybrid shadow]

not working but not crashing either

[normal crest]

no no

[hollow snow]

you tried passing the whole context?

[normal crest]

just SMODS.score_card(v, context)

[hybrid shadow]

game froze and crashed when i played the hand

[normal crest]

oh right

if v ~= card then
  SMODS.score_card(v, context)
end

cus it's scoring itself infinitely I assume

[hollow snow]

i mean if its context.cardarea and scoring think about it, youre re scoring every card every frame its scoring

[sonic cedar]

is it safe to update lovely 8 before i forget (as a modder i mean)

[red flower]

yes

[sonic cedar]

sick

[hollow snow]

lowk just do it, everyone is probably gonna do it so if your mod doesn't work in 0.8 you should adapt it anyway

[modern kindle]

i updated and havent run into any probs

[hybrid shadow]

well its no longer scoring itself infinitely. acts kinda weird when its not the last card though

oh nvm i guess its technically normal

[red flower]

what happens if you score two of them tho

[sonic cedar]

updated

[normal crest]

you know what will happen

[hybrid shadow]

fuck

[red flower]

:3

[proud ridge]

:3

[normal crest]

maybe score_card isn't such a great idea

[hybrid shadow]

alr i think i know how to prevent it at least

[red flower]

i would do this

context.prefix_retrigger = true
 SMODS.score_card(v, context)
context.prefix_retrigger = nil

and then check that

that allows the card to retrigger itself too without doing the loop

[sonic cedar]

"nice computer
it'd be a shame"

[normal crest]

i love my computer

[umbral zodiac]

i might be stupid but
anyone know why these info queues have no text inside them? in the localization file, they all have their name & the text "placeholder"

[hybrid shadow]

stupid prevention method is both stupid and works but its stupid so i hate it and im gonna try this N's way

[sonic cedar]

zociac deck 🥀

[normal crest]

N's way is the right way

unsurprisingly

[umbral zodiac]

uops

[sonic cedar]

to the surprise of absolutely NOBODY /ref

[modern kindle]

I also love your computer

[hybrid shadow]

yeah my stupid prevention method was just not retriggering cards if they have the sticker which just isnt any fun

[normal crest]

it is a good computer

[normal crest]

how are you appending them to info_queue

[hybrid shadow]

like this?

[umbral zodiac]

decks is a list of decks that are valid for this voucher

[normal crest]

you want and not context.hmlt_retrigger in your check

[upbeat bronze]

i feel like im doing something wrong here

[wild escarp]

How would I prevent a joker from showing up in shop? (card packs and such as well, like legendaries)

[upbeat bronze]

(crashes upon skipping blind)

[red flower]

if you put them in Other do they work

[umbral zodiac]

as in replace quantumparticle_descs with other?

[red flower]

return false in in_pool

[red flower]

yes, and move one there to test obviously

i think it's because descriptions get parsed beforehand

[umbral zodiac]

still blank (i just renamed the section to other & changed it in the voucher loc txt)

[hollow snow]

i forgot to ask again what is the structure of a info_queue

[normal crest]

info_queue is a list of tables

you can append a center or a table specifying a localization set and key

[red flower]

can i see the code again and how the loc looks

[umbral zodiac]

oops nvm im stupid i cpitalized it wrong in the loc txt

[hollow snow]

ty

[umbral zodiac]

it works when under Other

ty

[hybrid shadow]

well the sticker works now

feels a bit weird but ill have to deal with it

[normal crest]

adding repetitions would make it look good but also be way more complicated to do

[hybrid shadow]

im gonna stress test this thing rq because i know someone's gonna end up doing what im about to do and i wanna make sure it doesnt break shit

[serene granite]

is there a simple way to change how many joker slots a custom joker takes up? like without negative

[hybrid shadow]

oh its stupid and actually nullifies the purpose of the sticker entirely

[serene granite]

or how can i make it so it naturally adds a joker slot i guess

[sonic cedar]

that makes one of us (opening my instance keeps defaulting to the basegame exe)

[hybrid shadow]

oh boy its time to do the most weird thing of this whole ordeal (i finally get to use the sticker randomization for my tarot card)

[hybrid shadow]

do i randomize outside the for loop

i imagine i randomize outside the for loop

[hollow snow]

like with naturally you mean use a function and not do G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1?

[hybrid shadow]

how to fix (tells me aspect_st is nil)

[hollow snow]

i just want to make a simple info_queue for my joker, it's kinda hard the wiki lowk doesn't explain very well

[serene granite]

i just meant without having it be negative

[frigid cargo]

    config = { extra = {mult = 12}},

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

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.other_card then
            if card.edition.key and card.edition.key == "e_foil" then
                return {
                    play_sound = ("batrocities_MichaelKaboom"),
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                            trigger = 'after',
                            delay = 0.3,
                            blockable = false,
                            func = function()
                                card:remove()
                                return true
                            end
                }))
                }
            end
        elseif context.joker_main then
            mult = card.ability.extra.mult
        end
    end,
}

i dont think i did my code right, i wanted to check if card is foiled but it just crashes and tells me smth about edition

[hollow snow]

then you can just do G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1 until you find a better solution

[hollow snow]

you need to check if the edition exists first, for example if card.edition and card.edition.key == blahblahblah

[serene granite]

oo ok, and i put it in the function(self) portion?

[hollow snow]

you put it wherever you need, recommended after an if to not go around adding 1 joker slot per frame

[serene granite]

oo ok thanks for the advice !

[frigid cargo]

so i put it before the context.other_card?

[hollow snow]

you can do that or you can just check for it before checking the key, that way if you use( and operator)it will not go trough and crash (i think)

[frigid cargo]

ok thanks

[urban wasp]

could anybody help with whatever the freak this is

[sonic cedar]

Nvm just had to reinstall smods

[urban wasp]

had some help in https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1381896173970784329, but it just kinda made it worse and into this

[wild escarp]

How would I check whether or not all played cards are scored?

[hybrid shadow]

it looks like your info queue is missing variables

[urban wasp]

this is seemingly what the mentioned guy wanted me to do

i'm js confused, is all

[hollow snow]

seems like you forgot extra on loc_vars

[urban wasp]

no?

...
...config = { extra = { retrigger_chance = 4, retriggers = 24 } } }
...

[hollow snow]

like you do config = {extra = {retrigger_blahblahblah}} but

then on loc_Vars

lenient_bignum(self.config.retrigger_chance)

[hybrid shadow]

you have a vars table below where you call the info_queue, but you dont fill it with anything

like its just empty rn

[unborn bay]

i mean that would still return a table as a bignum is a table

[hollow snow]

like self.config.retrigger_chance aint it, its self.config.extra.retrigger_chance

[unborn bay]

return it wrapped under number_format

[urban wasp]

oh i didn't know i was supposed to do that

[urban wasp]

what?

there's like 3 people trying to give me different advice rn

[hollow snow]

lowk i think im sleepy dont hear me out

[unborn bay]

if you wanna set info queue vars you have to specify specific_vars iirc

[urban wasp]

nr sure on what to do

[unborn bay]

but hm

this isn't related to info queue anyways

[hybrid shadow]

well i dont see why else it would be returning an empty table in your info_queue

[urban wasp]

i was just following what somebody else said

[unborn bay]

does it display fine in the edition collection itself

[urban wasp]

i don't really know how this works

[urban wasp]

in the edition collection?

oh

[unborn bay]

Collection -> Editions

lmao

o

[urban wasp]

right

i know this crash

return { vars = { card.extra.ability.extra.retrigger_chance, card.extra.ability.extra.retriggers } }

is that not right

oh wait

yeah one sec

[unborn bay]

why is it named center 😭

y'all need to stop with bad coding practices

[urban wasp]

i just copied from blurred (cryptid) for the most part

[hybrid shadow]

why is there extra extras here

[sonic cedar]

h

[urban wasp]

yeah that's what i just fixed

[hybrid shadow]

k

[urban wasp]

well that's weird

the description, not the shader lol

[vale glen]

That shader looks cool

[urban wasp]

it was literally an accident

[vale glen]

Reminds Axy of that one meme involving a falling waffle

[subtle merlin]

Isn't 4/24 just 1/6?

[urban wasp]

auguahsuaguah

[urban wasp]

yeah, it's supposed to be 1 in 4 for 24 retriggers

[unborn bay]

vertex distortion shaders ,,,,,,

mmmm

[urban wasp]

#💻・modding-dev message

kept it for the funnyt

okay um

so what do i do here? description seems to have gotten fucked

(supposed to be 1 in 4 chance for 24 retriggers, not 4 in 24 chance for nil retriggers)

[hollow snow]

that seems like an order issue

[urban wasp]

yeah

[unborn bay]

yeah order issue

[urban wasp]

but idk why

[unborn bay]

stick in a (G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1)

at the first one

assuming the format goes #1# in #2# does #3#

[hollow snow]

yeah you should be using 3 variables but you got two that seems to be the issue

[urban wasp]

yeah

[urban wasp]

no?

okay

i think it works now

[hollow snow]

you use retriggers and retriggers_chance

[sonic cedar]

can anyone tell me what's wrong here?
(supposed to trigger that function when there's a joker to the right of it)

[urban wasp]

okay uhh hovering over a four-dimensional joker does this?

SMODS.Edition {
    disable_base_shader = true,
    disable_shadow = true,
    key = "four-dimensional",
    weight = 0.2,
    shader = "fourdimensional",
    in_shop = true,
    extra_cost = 5,
    sound = {
        sound = "crp_e_fourdimensional",
        per = 1,
        vol = 0.5,
    },
    get_weight = function(self)
        return G.GAME.edition_rate * self.weight
    end,
    config = { extra = { retrigger_chance = 4, retriggers = 24 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        local chance = center and center.edition and center.edition.retrigger_chance or lenient_bignum(self.config.extra.retrigger_chance)
        local retriggers = center and center.edition and center.edition.retriggers or lenient_bignum(self.config.extra.retriggers)
        return { vars = { G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1, center.ability.extra.retrigger_chance, center.ability.extra.retriggers } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if
            context.other_card == card
            and (
                (context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play)
                or (context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker)
            )
        then
            local should_retrigger = pseudorandom("crp_fourdimensional") <= G.GAME.probabilities.normal / lenient_bignum(self.config.extra.retrigger_chance)
            return {
                message = localize("k_again_ex"),
                repetitions = should_retrigger and lenient_bignum(self.extra.config.retriggers) or 0,
                card = card,
            }
        end
    end,
    crp_credits = {
        idea = { "Glitchkat10" },
        art = { "Glitchkat10" },
        code = { "Glitchkat10" },
    },
}

530 is the loc_vars return

[serene granite]

ok i have another question, is there a way to make a joker count for 0 joker slots ?

[urban wasp]

actually hold on i might've fixed all of this

[serene granite]

if not then its ok, but i kind of want to make some jokers that dont change the slots being taken up at all

[hollow snow]

yeah if i remember correctly ability is for jokers

so that should be it

[unborn bay]

ok since this is an edition i believe those don't take from card.ability

yeah what [desert plant] said

[urban wasp]

oh wait what

ohh right it's like self

[unborn bay]

self refers to the center definition here

so you'd reference self.config.extra

though card.edition also works i think

though its still best to fallback to self.config

[hollow snow]

it is easier to read to just use config

[hybrid shadow]

fun fact stickers have a similar issue where you need to use self.config since stickers in base game for the most part work without variables needing to be set

[urban wasp]

okay i got four-dimensional to work correctly again

SMODS.Edition {
    disable_base_shader = true,
    disable_shadow = true,
    key = "four-dimensional",
    weight = 0.2,
    shader = "fourdimensional",
    in_shop = true,
    extra_cost = 5,
    sound = {
        sound = "crp_e_fourdimensional",
        per = 1,
        vol = 0.5,
    },
    get_weight = function(self)
        return G.GAME.edition_rate * self.weight
    end,
    config = { extra = { retrigger_chance = 4, retriggers = 24 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        local chance = center and center.edition and center.edition.retrigger_chance or lenient_bignum(self.config.extra.retrigger_chance)
        local retriggers = center and center.edition and center.edition.retriggers or lenient_bignum(self.config.extra.retriggers)
        return { vars = { G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1, chance, retriggers } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if
            context.other_card == card
            and (
                (context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play)
                or (context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker)
            )
        then
            local should_retrigger = pseudorandom("crp_fourdimensional") <= G.GAME.probabilities.normal / lenient_bignum(self.config.extra.retrigger_chance)
            return {
                message = localize("k_again_ex"),
                repetitions = should_retrigger and lenient_bignum(self.config.extra.retriggers) or 0,
                card = card,
            }
        end
    end,
    crp_credits = {
        idea = { "Glitchkat10" },
        art = { "Glitchkat10" },
        code = { "Glitchkat10" },
    },
}

still this though

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue)
    info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = "e_crp_four-dimensional", set = "Edition", config = { extra = { retrigger_chance = 4, retriggers = 24 } } }
    return { vars = {  } }
end,

umm what do i change

[unborn bay]

im pretty sure you specify specific_vars here

then the stuff in order

[hollow snow]

if it displayed something earlier you were probably on the right path

you will need the variables inside the edition anyway

[urban wasp]

how?

[unborn bay]

actually aren't editions centers too

[hollow snow]

i've got no idea

[unborn bay]

whats stopping you from just using G.P_CENTERS.e_whatever

[urban wasp]

because the key is four-dimensional

which messes it up, and i want it to stay as that exact key

[hollow snow]

what

[unborn bay]

G.P_CENTERS["shit-with-dashes"] works fine too, no?

[urban wasp]

i don't believe so

hold on

[unborn bay]

well that won't make sense if it don't

[urban wasp]

[this](#💻・modding-dev message) returned [this](#💻・modding-dev message)

i'll try it again

[hollow snow]

ok gn people

hope you can fix that

[urban wasp]

alr gn

[unborn bay]

You cannot sleep now, monsters are nearby

[urban wasp]

oh it just magically worked

well i have no more issues

thanks chat

[chrome widget]

I love modding

[sonic cedar]

Bumping [this](#💻・modding-dev message) but without the super reply

[chrome widget]

(genuine crash log btw. It failed to write anything else)

[sonic cedar]

????

did you ask nicely

[hybrid shadow]

average wine on steam deck experience

[modern kindle]

me when i

[wooden nexus]

Question: I changed the version to 1.A, and it's saying 1.A.0 is not a version later than 1.0. How does that work?

A > 0 in ascii text though

[sonic cedar]

have you tried

not using A

[subtle merlin]

I love thinking im done working on a joker then testing it with literally any other joker and realizing there's massive issues!!!!

[wooden nexus]

No? I need the A

[hybrid shadow]

why do you need the A

[wooden nexus]

Because the mod is literally called 1.A.0c

It changes the GAME version too because y'know... split update style mod

That's the issue

I don't wanna get rid of the custom version

[sonic cedar]

you lost me

[wooden nexus]

Okay

You know how one of the dependencies is Balatro's Game Version

I changed the game version

[sonic cedar]

uh huh

[wooden nexus]

How do I fix without getting rid of my version and without forcing them to make new version for compatibility?

[hallow forge]

no

[wooden nexus]

yes

[hallow forge]

that's probably the answer

it's probably no

[wooden nexus]

So they just gotta cope then?

[sonic cedar]

seems like

[wooden nexus]

RIP

[hybrid shadow]

i love stickers

[wooden nexus]

I'm still more confused why it's saying 1.A < 1.0 though. that's the weird part of it

I checked Hex, Unicode, Ascii, A should be larger than 0

[sonic cedar]

numbers before letters probably

[hallow forge]

if we assume A = 0-1, then use subsitution 1.0-1 < 1.0

[frigid cargo]

    config = { extra = {mult = 12}},

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

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.other_joker then
            if context.other_card.edition and context.other_card.edition.type == 'e_foil' then
                return {
                    mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                    play_sound = ("batrocities_MichaelKaboom"),
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                            trigger = 'after',
                            delay = 0.3,
                            blockable = false,
                            func = function()
                                card:remove()
                                return true
                            end
                }))
                }
            end
        elseif context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end,
}

i was wondering if i did the sound code right, the code also doesnt trigger if another card is foiled?

[wooden nexus]

All fixed

No joke, myself and Aikoyori found the same solution:

Instead of changing the version itself, find where the UI loads the text and load in the custom version that way

[tall wharf]

😭

[wooden nexus]

you realy like that emote

[tall wharf]

it's my most used emoji

poor placement discord

A story of six emotes

Person crying, is set on fire and dies, the skull learns it's trans and does a big think, then uses heart emotes

After many trials and tribulations, becomes an imp

[worthy stirrup]

I wanna hear my story :3

[vale glen]

Uhmmmmm

A star becomes a meteor, a cat reads about it on the internet and gives it a like, someone is crying because the meteor is falling on them. Various other reactions on the thread reporting the meteor, and then some nerd comes in and verifies that this is indeed a meteor

Also the poster gets a verified checkmark but it's pink

[worthy stirrup]

I wasn’t expecting the second row to be part of it, but thanks

My favorite balatro version

trials... and.... tribulations....?

Haven't played it

[hybrid shadow]

do it

[vale glen]

So many games to playyy

[hybrid shadow]

god ive still gotta finish taking ownership of like half the tarot cards

[modern kindle]

why you taking them all

bit greedy..

[hybrid shadow]

its so tedious to do all this

but it must be done

[chrome widget]

Had to do this for variable selection limit ough

Unrelated, my frequently used

[hybrid shadow]

does something like this work or do i need to change the config as well

[chrome widget]

Should be fine

Consumeables are still given the ability table version of the config values, most of the vanilla ones just primarily use the ability.consumeable reference to the center

[hybrid shadow]

will that affect anything majorly or will reusing vanillaremade code probably work

[chrome widget]

No clue

[upbeat bronze]

i wonder why the horse

[hybrid shadow]

i think the fandoms im in are quite obvious

[hard flume]

I'm trying to decide something. Would yall be willing to help?

[chrome widget]

Funny how I never ended up in the Homestuck/Undertale fandom train. I feel like both of them would probably be up my alley but guess the 2010s just had me elsewhere

Ironically the most I know about both of them is various Tumblr mutuals of mine anxiously awaiting both fandoms to spew out tgirls

[hard flume]

Should genders (or no gender if they're agender) be applied to all playing cards automatically? Or should only certain playing cards be gendered?

[chrome widget]

I feel like I need more context

[modern kindle]

here are mine

dont worry about some of them

[chrome widget]

Shout-out to bowling emoji. I'm going bowling tomorrow morning

[hard flume]

Ah! So I'm adding Genders into Balatro, which are a new modifier for playing cards. By themselves, they do nothing. But there's Jokers, Consumables, and other mechanics that do stuff with genders

[modern kindle]

are u good at bowling

ive only gone 2x and i used bumpers both times
cause i was a child

[chrome widget]

But point being, context wise, I don't know what "automatically" means. Not do I know how else it would apply them

[modern kindle]

automatically probably just means auto applied to deck at start of run id assume

[hard flume]

Oh by automatically. I meant. "All of them. Every single one in the game." Versus "There's a chance for cards to get them"

[chrome widget]

You tell me

[hard flume]

Basically this, yeah

[modern kindle]

thats my bestie baddie epic gamer kino gamer making strides nobody ever seen before historically since the game of bowling released in pre alpha

[chrome widget]

I guess it'd make sense for cards to be gendered just by default rather than it being selectively applied

[hard flume]

I wasn't sure, but that's what I was thinking yeah. Just wanted a second opinion

[chrome widget]

Fwiw I used to be professional before I went to college

[modern kindle]

i bet i could lose to u in bowling

[chrome widget]

You probably could yea

[modern kindle]

but id absolutely sweep you in laser tag

[hard flume]

After I get genders working, I'm gonna try and get Pikmin working once more

[modern kindle]

i have pikmin 1

but not any others =[

[hard flume]

I just needed a break from making my Balatro Mod because of Pikmin. They were so hard to get the storage feature working on playing cards

But I'm gonna be more reasonable working on them this time

[chrome widget]

I'm up to some more weird shader bullshit because of weird pixel transformations that have to do with the dissolve mask

[modern kindle]

oh god i just remembered i now have to start dealing with shaders

dear lord above save me

i have to make at minimum one for an edition, and probably more once im comfy

[hard flume]

Oh yeah. I actually enjoy coding. I forgot about that.

[chrome widget]

I actually recently enjoy coding which is nice because my other two hobbies make me want to stab myself to even think about rn

[modern kindle]

come collect games with me winter

thats a fun time

[chrome widget]

Drawing sucks, writing sucks. I guess programming's all I've got for now

I guess I should specify "productive" hobbies

[modern kindle]

every hobby is productive because it produces enjoyment to your life

[chrome widget]

My other hobbies are slow and uneventful but that's just the breaks when you're living with clinical depression

Can't do much aside from managing it or replacing my whole brain

[modern kindle]

i feel that

i got that anxiety and ptsd too bundled

we make do with what we got

i believe in you

[hard flume]

What's the play area global for decks btw? I forget

Is it just. G.deck?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[modern kindle]

hi something

[daring fern]

Is it possible to discount rerolls, like clearance sale but for rerolls?

[hasty mist]

I would look at Reroll Surplus and Reroll Glut in vanilla remade: https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/vouchers.lua

[hard flume]

How would I get a sticker to apply to every playing card? I tried looking around and I didn't see anything

[hard flume]

Mainly, I'm stuck with getting it to apply to deck at the start of the run. I can get it to apply to every booster card, at least

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do SMODS.Stickers["modprefix_key"]:apply(card, true) end

[hard flume]

And where would I put this?

I tried putting it in a game_start_run_ref style hook, and it just crashes

[daring fern]

If it's for a deck you would put it in apply?

[hard flume]

Ah! I want it to happen in ALL decks

I want all playing cards to have gender

[maiden phoenix]

Hook it in the Back:apply then maybe
