card.base.nominal = 0

[rugged pier]

Cryptid does something similar

[lucid owl]

and then simply index that by doing something similar to
for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do if G.jokers.cards[i].pools and G.jokers.cards[i].pools.Your_Pool then <do mult whatever stuff you want here> end end

adding them to a joker makes them exist

it's just a variable you set

[signal lotus]

ah

ok

[daring fern]

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

[lucid owl]

ah you're right, mb that was just pseudocode

the only time i index pools is for general centers, not specific objects

[sonic cedar]

how would I run a global function through the console?

[pulsar furnace]

How could I add more buttons, like to separate the decks between categories?

[daring fern]

eval globalfunction()

[scarlet spire]

would you have an example of this function? I'm not entirely sure how to implement something like this.

[sonic cedar]

thanks

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Somethingcom515/SealsOnJokers/blob/allinone/allinone.lua#L84

[scarlet spire]

thank you

[next pivot]

would it be possible to add icons that you can put in text?

[daring fern]

You mean putting images in a jokers description?

[signal lotus]

I think they mean like the suit icons in bunco

[next pivot]

yes

[daring fern]

Then yes, but I don't know how though.

[pulsar furnace]

is there a way to modify the deck selection ui?

[signal lotus]

what does the i = 1 mean

[daring fern]

Yes.

[pulsar furnace]

how 🥺

[spice wadi]

Yes there is
I'm guessing you have to either patch or hook the functions related to that, probably in ui_definitions.lua
I'd really recommend the mod Galdur for deck selection tho

[lucid owl]

i acts as a variable that goes up by 1 for every object in the table G.jokers.cards, so G.jokers.cards[i] will be equal to every joker one by one as the loop continues. it then ends when there are no more objects in the table

[vivid grotto]

Do you think you could explain what quantum enchantmnets are and how to use them or link me seomthing for that?

[spice wadi]

Also read the UI guide on the smods wiki if you really want to go through with this

[lucid owl]

though see this message @signal lotus, my code was incorrect (i wasn't referencing anything)

[daring fern]

You have to enable them then you would do ```lua
if context.check_enhancement and context.other_card.config.center.key == "m_mbm_rat" then
return {m_steel = true, m_stone = true}
end

[signal lotus]

like this

[lucid owl]

to elaborate, #G.jokers.cards is equal to the total number of jokers, so it could vary from 1 to infinity, but the loop would still work fine as it always adjusts to the total number, and ends if it goes past the number of jokers

[lucid owl]

set the ability up in a context and that should work just fine

[signal lotus]

alright

thanks

[lucid owl]

given that you're looping through all jokers, smods has a built in context that does that btw

[signal lotus]

if context.other_joker

right

[lucid owl]

i would modify your code to

if context.other_joker and context.other_joker.config.center.pools and context.other_joker.config.center.pools.Kanye_Joker then
  return {
    mult = card.ability.extra.mult
  }
end

[daring fern]

How does one change joker slots without changing visible joker slots?

[rugged pier]

Check #1326135270759993364

[lucid owl]

just throw this in your calculate function and you should be golden, it'll operate like baseball card

[vague crest]

i have the like, set message working but not the actual mechanic, is there an extra function im missing somewhere?

[daring fern]

context.other_card.base.nominal = 0

[lucid owl]

card is equal to your joker in this scenario

[vague crest]

ohhh that makes sense actually now that i look at hiker

OHHH no i understand completely now thats what was confusing me

[lucid owl]

@signal lotus pinging just in case you didn't see

[signal lotus]

I did

[lucid owl]

alr

[vague crest]

ohhh wait thats really weird

it moves them in the deck order?

[lucid owl]

ah, that's always annoying

yeah deck order is based on base chips

it's really weird

[daring fern]

Yes, because they are sorted by nominal.

[vague crest]

thats so bizarre i never noticed that before

[daring fern]

It's possible to fix though.

[wild escarp]

How would I change the text styling of a joker throughout the run?

[vague crest]

i guess thats why rubber ducky from extra credit has the +-10 chips thing going on?

[daring fern]

You mean change the description?

[signal lotus]

idk it doesnt do anything

[wild escarp]

Yeah, specifically the colors and such.

[signal lotus]

oh shit im stupid

it does normal mult not x mult

[lucid owl]

you added the pool to other jokers right?

[lucid owl]

yeah lol

legit just change mult to xmult in your return

[wind steppe]

How would I check if a card is being removed or added to joker slots in a hook of Card.remove_from_deck and Card.add_to_deck?

[daring fern]

Return key = self.key.."_alt" in loc_vars and set j_modprefix_key_alt in your localization file.

[lucid owl]

you were referencing a variable that doesn't exist and also adding mult rather than xmult

[vague crest]

is the process for this documented anywhere :3

because it works other than that which is awesome

[mild olive]

probably a common question but how is the "(Currently Xnumber Mult)" text in loc_txt should look like,,

[lucid owl]

use {C:inactive}

[vivid grotto]

Hey, this is what I got so far, i defiently feel like i'm missing something. And how do you enable quantum enchantments?

[lucid owl]

so {C:inactive}(Currently {X:mult,C:white}X#1#{C:inactive} Mult)
assuming you want to do it vanilla style

[mild olive]

thankksss

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()

[formal parrot]

Can i use game shaders ?

[shell kite]

I'm making a joker card that turns 4s into aces, the problem is that the resulting aces still score 4 chips
What's wrong?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 4 and not context.other_card.debuff and pseudorandom('j_rdjk_dyslexia') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra.odds then
                assert(SMODS.change_base(context.other_card, nil, "Ace"))
                SMODS.recalc_debuff(card)
                play_sound("tarot1")
                return {
                    message = localize('b_rdjk_dyslexia'),
                    colour = G.C.PURPLE,
                    message_card = context.other_card
                }
            end
        end
    end

[formal parrot]

You need to change chip value

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lucid owl]

...no i don't think so

[formal parrot]

Really? How

[lucid owl]

try doing this in context.before

[formal parrot]

Never really tried it LOL

It’s probably a context error

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[lucid owl]

change_base() changes chip value, the problem is that the cards are being changed after they're already going to be scored

[wind steppe]

bump

[lucid owl]

so it still applies the previous chip value

[formal parrot]

I wanna use the hologram vanilla shader and apply it to another joker

[daring fern]

You would use SMODS.DrawStep or the draw function.

[formal parrot]

And how can i use the game shaders

And not a custom one

Sorry I really don’t know how draw step works i never used it

[shell kite]

I tried before using "scoring_hand" as well, but only a 4 was changed from the hand played

[lucid owl]

wdym?

[vague crest]

would this also fix my issue where the cards get set in a weird order after losing chips? or is this specifically for changing ranks

[lucid owl]

just a function for changing ranks, which by default will change the order

[daring fern]

No.

[lucid owl]

since you're changing ranks, it's kinda intended to change order and therefore it doesn't have its own thing to change order - it's totally good with the fact order is changed by changing the base chips

[shell kite]

This

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.main_eval then
            local fours = 0
            for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if scored_card:get_id() == 4 and not scored_card.debuff and pseudorandom('j_rdjk_dyslexia') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra.odds then
                    fours = fours + 1
                    assert(SMODS.change_base(scored_card, nil, "Ace"))
                    play_sound("tarot1")
                    scored_card:juice_up()
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            scored_card:juice_up(0.3, 0.3)
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end
            end
            if fours > 0 then
                return {
                    message = localize('b_rdjk_dyslexia'),
                    colour = G.C.PURPLE
                }
            end
        end
    end

Based in midas mask

[vague crest]

💔 later problem then the rest of it works

pretty happy with progress so far its been cool to bring these ideas to reality

[scenic steeple]

So, I'm trying to make a joker that gives 2$, and loses 1$ of sell value when an 8 or ace is played, I just have no clue where to start with this specific context, the closest I have to a starting point is the code for retriggers so this is gonna be a pain :/

[lucid owl]

use context.individual for the rank detection

as for giving money, reference vanillaremade's golden joker implementation

[scenic steeple]

does that also include joker losing 1$ sell value?

or something similar

[lucid owl]

you can do that in context.individual, it's just modifying a variable

[scenic steeple]

sweet

thx

[lucid owl]

you can check how gift card changes sell value, and just do that if you detect the ranks

plus a fancy effect if you like

[scenic steeple]

ooo

yippie

[vague crest]

is there a way to have a context where it only checks for something if you do it during a blind? like specifically not in the shop or blind selection

[wind steppe]

bump

[scenic steeple]

I think I did most of this right, just gotta make sure this actually changes the sell value of only the current joker and not other jokers

[lucid owl]

calc_dollar bonus is a function independent of anything, put that after calculate

actually there's a lot going on here hang on

[scenic steeple]

take your time

just make sure to ping me lol

[lucid owl]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  return { vars = { card.ability.extra.sell_value, card.ability.extra.dollars } }
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
    if context.other_card:get_id() == 8 or context.other_card:get_id() == 14 then
      card.sell_cost = card.sell_cost + card.ability.extra.sell_value
      return {
        message = "Placeholder message"
      }
    end
  end
end,
calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
  return card.ability.extra.dollars
end

not perfect but i think that should work

i would definitely recommend familiarizing yourself with the lua language

[subtle merlin]

quick question: card.base.value gives the number of chips the card would give, right?

[scarlet imp]

thank you for this!!! I was able to find how cryptid did it and it worked perfectly

[violet gulch]

I think you can use: :get_chip_bonus()

[subtle merlin]

That works, ty!

[gusty hatch]

hey guys i got a smol doubt here

[next pivot]

note to anyone else or myself on how to do this:
{n=G.UIT.O, config={object = sprite, scale = 1}}
sprite = Sprite(0,0,1,1, G.ASSET_ATLAS[[atlas name or var]],[position as a table])

[gusty hatch]

i want to include my second joker here but with this sintax its giving me bugs:

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'beerimg',
    path = 'beer.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'beerjoker',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Beer',
        text = {
            'Sell this card to',
            'create a free',
            '{C:attention}uncommon tag{}'
        },
    },
    atlas = 'beerimg',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 6,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.selling_card then
            add_tag(Tag('tag_uncommon'));
        end
    end
}


SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'wineimg',
    path = 'wine.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'winejoker',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Wine',
        text = {
            'Sell this card to',
            'create a free',
            '{C:attention}rare tag{}'
        },
    },
    atlas = 'wineimg',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 14,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.selling_card then
            add_tag(Tag('tag_rare'));
        end
    end
}

shrimple right?

well this is not supposed to be done because the wine joker actually will give you both a uncommon and a rare tag

which makes no sense

its probably something to do with item reference, im not using .this

but im not sure how

:p anyway i should sleep some more gn

[violet gulch]

I don't know if this is actually the problem, but maybe you could use "context.selling_self"

my guess is the context.selling_card is triggering on both of the jokers

[gusty hatch]

ah?

AH!

rightio

that sounds accurate

thank you

Well im going to test but i think it werks tyvm

[vague crest]

getting a crash from this code when using a tarot card, not sure what im doing wrong?

its supposed to additionally not do anything when youre in the shop but using it in the shop or in a blindcrashes

[wind steppe]

bump

[frigid blaze]

Can you tell me where to find it, because on the website it's just like this?

[wind steppe]

that should work

[frigid blaze]

I mean where can I find the 812d version because I only see 530 on the website?

[wind steppe]

you shouldnt need it

its minimum version not only that version

[frigid blaze]

I just want to know where I can find an alpha 812)

[vivid grotto]

hey guys, why this no work? Its adding the text for the -mult and -chips, but when scoring it ignores the chips and always does -1 mult???

SMODS.Enhancement{
key = "backstabbed",
loc_txt = {
name = "Backstabbed",
text = {
"{C:chips}#1#{} Bonus chips",
"{C:mult}#2#{} Bonus mult"
}
},
atlas = "centers",
pos = {x = 1, y = 0},
order = 100, -- Higher order means it appears on top
config = {
chips = -2,
mult = -1
},
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card, specific_vars)
if not card or card.fake_card then
return { vars = { "-2x Chip Value", "-1x Chip Value" } } -- Show multipliers in collection
end
local chip_value = card:get_chip_bonus() or 0
card.ability.chips = chip_value * -2
card.ability.mult = chip_value * -1
return {
vars = {
card.ability.chips,
card.ability.mult
}
}
end
}

[vivid grotto]

can you help me 🥺

[wind steppe]

idk i cant find it

irregardless: YOU DONT NEED IT

its worse than the current version

[hasty mist]

is there a way to make this deck not crash at the drop of a hat

[vivid grotto]

I ain't sure I understand, the point of this particualr enchantment is that it's bad

[wind steppe]

oh i thought you were someone else

no i cant help you

[vivid grotto]

oh, ok

[hybrid shadow]

does it take away the chips from your card's current chip total? whats the intention with negative chips

oh wait

hold on

[hybrid shadow]

for enhancements, in the config, chips are noted as bonus, not chips

[vivid grotto]

Ok, that fixed the problem of the chips not being scored, can you tell me why the value used in scoring is always the config and these lines aren't changing it?

local chip_value = card:get_chip_bonus() or 0
card.ability.bonus = chip_value * -2
card.ability.mult = chip_value * -1

[vivid grotto]

and thanks for the help 🙂

[hybrid shadow]

because the config is what enhancements use when scored?

[hasty mist]

bump

[vivid grotto]

can you put variables in the config? and if not can you change the config values after they are set?

[hybrid shadow]

why do you want to change the values

[hasty mist]

isnt that what config is for?

[hybrid shadow]

i dont think enhancements use extra

[vivid grotto]

What i am trying to do is have
negative 2 times current cards chip value in chips
negative 1 times current cards chip value in mult
added to the card having the enchantment applied

[hybrid shadow]

wouldnt that make the overall value 0

[vivid grotto]

it would make the total chips negative of the original chip value and the mult just what the original chip value was but negative

[hybrid shadow]

multiplying a negative number by a negative number gives you a positive number

[vivid grotto]

I am adding to the card -2 times original chip value in chip and -1 times original chip value in mult

if a = original chip value then I would have -2a + a -> -1a chip and -a mult, Unless I am seriously confused

[hybrid shadow]

then why do you have config set in the first place

if the config doesnt do anything why is it set

[wind steppe]

does anyone know how to check, when hooking remove_from_deck and add_to_deck, if a joker is being added to/removed from joker slots specifically?

[vivid grotto]

I was udner the impression it was required for enchantments as that was what they all used in the vanilla modded thing

[wind steppe]

its good practice

to have config (but you need to use it)

[hybrid shadow]

if you want them as variables you need extra, not just config

[reef belfry]

does get_chip_bonus also take editions like foil

[vivid grotto]

it should, as well as hiker buffs, which is intentional

[vivid grotto]

let me try that

[hybrid shadow]

jsyk if youre using them as variables you need a calculate function for them to work

[vivid grotto]

and how would that calculate function work exactly, as when ive attmepted to do so before it didn't work for some reason

this is what I have now, and it didn't work 😦

config = {
    extra = {
        bonus = -2,
        mult = -1
    }
},
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card, specific_vars)
    if not card or card.fake_card then
        return { vars = { "-2x Chip Value", "-1x Chip Value" } }  -- Show multipliers in collection
    end
    local chip_value = card:get_chip_bonus() or 0
    card.ability.extra.bonus = chip_value * -2
    card.ability.extra.mult = chip_value * -1
    return { 
        vars = { 
            card.ability.extra.bonus,
            card.ability.extra.mult
        }
    }
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then
        return {
            bonus = card.ability.extra.bonus,
            mult = card.ability.extra.mult
        }
    end
end

}

[hybrid shadow]

context is main_scoring

joker_main is when joker effects happen, not when cards are scored

[vivid grotto]

alright, this is what I have now, and it results in ignoring the bonus and having -1 mult when scored isntead of what is one the card

config = {
    extra = {
        bonus = -2,
        mult = -1
    }
},
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card, specific_vars)
    if not card or card.fake_card then
        return { vars = { "-2x Chip Value", "-1x Chip Value" } }  -- Show multipliers in collection
    end
    local chip_value = card:get_chip_bonus() or 0
    card.ability.extra.bonus = chip_value * -2
    card.ability.extra.mult = chip_value * -1
    return { 
        vars = { 
            card.ability.extra.bonus,
            card.ability.extra.mult
        }
    }
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.main_scoring then
        return {
            bonus = card.ability.extra.bonus,
            mult = card.ability.extra.mult
        }
    end
end

}

[hybrid shadow]

in the return statement it would be chips not bonus i think

idk how to fix the other issue other than actually grabbing the chip value of the card and not the bonus chip value

[vivid grotto]

that is card.base.nominal correct?

[hybrid shadow]

idk

[hasty mist]

yall

[hybrid shadow]

i havent messed with base cards other than my enhancement overwriting them which is built in

[hybrid shadow]

center is nil

[hasty mist]

what should i do?

[hybrid shadow]

what is the goal of the deck

[tribal kestrel]

I'm excited to have worked this much out so far, and I wanted to share it here. Making a scrollable uibox

[hasty mist]

remove all modded jokers from the pool

it mostly works but it crashes at random points for seemingly no reason

[hybrid shadow]

is v actually the full key of all jokers that it looks through

[hasty mist]

it should be i think

[hybrid shadow]

what does original_mod do

[hasty mist]

checks if each joker is vanilla or not

if it contains original_mod its vanilla

[hybrid shadow]

hm

[vivid grotto]

I needed to add the change for the chips and mult inside the calcaulte function as well, but Its woroking Thank you very much for the help. I now also understand what you were refering to about the negative and negative becoming a positive when both cihps and mult are negative for the total score 😭

[hybrid shadow]

so its fixed now?

[vivid grotto]

Yeppp

thank yooouuuu

just a fundamental flaw with the idea itself, that im working on now

[hybrid shadow]

np

[scarlet imp]

if I wanna find out if the player has a specific Joker I can use next(find_joker("name")) right

if next(find_joker("Cricket's Head")) then did I just make the if statement wrong then

this is inside of another Joker's calculate function

[hybrid shadow]

im pretty sure you call it by key

[scarlet imp]

mod prefix included?

[hybrid shadow]

id imagine so

[scarlet imp]

alr I'll try that

[hybrid shadow]

i used next(SMODS.find_card in my code that detects a certain joker so idk exactly the difference here

[scarlet imp]

that's probably a better function to be calling anyways

[hybrid shadow]

full thing is if next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_jokerkey)) then

[scarlet imp]

worked, thanks!

[hybrid shadow]

np (i cant believe how many times i had to use that parameter while taking ownership of vanilla consumables so i could have jokers change stuff about said consumables)

[scarlet imp]

Yeah, my Joker amplifies the mult effects of any Jokers that give mult. When its added or removed from the deck it messes with the config of other Jokers so that they get amplified, and divides by the same amount when its lost. Obelisk was giving me issues bc it would reset to 1 and then selling it would cause you to be at like 0.66X mult lol

[merry raven]

Is there a check to see whether a card has been destroyed
Currently making a Joker where it will grant effects after a specific enhancement has been destroyed

if playCard.config.center == G.P_CENTERS.[enhancement] and [card destroyed detection logic] then
                    -- do stuff
                end

[scarlet imp]

Sometimes you need global variables for that kind of thing. For example Cavendish can only spawn with Gros Michel goes extinct, and the game uses a custom global variable for that

[merry raven]

I see I see

[scarlet imp]

I've never implemented something like that myself but that's where I would start

[merry raven]

Alright, I'll take a look, cheers

Yep there it is, but it's a global value for one criterion, so it's pretty simple
I don't know how I'm going to figure out global variables when there are multiple cards with the same enhancement, I'm worried about potential conflicts

[frigid blaze]

Could you give me a hint on how this line works?

card. ability. extra = math.min (math.floor (card.ability.extra), 1000)

[scarlet imp]

oh btw, does this method work when the player has multiple copies of the Joker?

actually nvm I figured it out lol

[hybrid shadow]

i dont think it makes it happen multiple times if thats what youre asking

[scarlet imp]

yeah but I found a workaround

[hybrid shadow]

oh ok

[hasty mist]

why is this still repeating so much

[scarlet imp]

it probably prints once for every card because context.full_hand[5] returns a value every time, but you might also need to check something like context.other_card == context.full_hand[5]

just a guess though

[manic rune]

whats the effect here

[hasty mist]

plan is to give a chip bonus (additive factorial) like hiker to each played card if hand contains 5 cards

[scarlet imp]

there's a context.scoring_hand that you can use

[hasty mist]

isnt that for poker hands though

[manic rune]

you could use context.before and context.main_eval, context.joker_main, or context.after depending on the timing

[scarlet imp]

so something like if #context.scoring_hand.cards == 5 then

[hasty mist]

alright

this seems to have no effect

[scarlet imp]

try taking the .cards off of scoring hand thats my bad

[frigid blaze]

Could you give me a hint on how this line works?

card. ability. extra = math.min (math.floor (card.ability.extra), 1000)

[hasty mist]

hm, still nothing

[glass scaffold]

...no return statement?

[scarlet imp]

I think they're just trying to get the conditional to pass before programming the behavior

[hasty mist]

yeah

[brittle tide]

does anyone know what causes this crash? I want to know if its one of my Jokers

[wintry solar]

@manic rune don’t know if I missed your response to this or if you were sleeping

[manic rune]

oh yeah it was 2 am for me lol

yeah this looks much cleaner, people wont put card = card in their calculate now

[stoic fulcrum]

can context.other_joker be called upon doing something specific (ie, selling a card or starting blind) or does it only work after scoring?

[frigid blaze]

Help me how to do.
In the game there is Flush Five, and I want to create for example Flush Six or Seven, how to fit it correctly in SMODS.PokerHand?

[tough temple]

hey real quick

how do i get a joker to do that <Nope!> thing

that appears with wheel of fortune

[whole lava]

how can i use perma bonuses? do i need to create the calculate file to calculate the bonus?

[scarlet imp]

no you don't:
playing_card.ability.perma_bonus = playing_card.ability.perma_bonus + card.ability.extra.upgrade
I have this in one of my cards and it works great

[whole lava]

What about permanently upgrade the x chips and mult?

[scarlet imp]

that line permanently upgrades a card's chips. Mult I wouldn't know how to do though

[whole lava]

Ok thanks

[reef belfry]

seems like it doesnt, played a foil 2 and it only gave 2 chips worth

[manic rune]

no, because the chips from foil is an entirely different thing unlike enhancements lol

[reef belfry]

im guessing because stuff like hiker and bonus use perma_bonus instead

😭

[manic rune]

yup

[subtle merlin]

This is new-

[subtle merlin]

Is there a way to tell if a card was created without manually applying a flag to each card that's created?

[zealous glen]

Do you mean knowing the history of the card or just calculating whenever a card is created?

[subtle merlin]

The former

[zealous glen]

You could just mark cards that started in the deck

Maybe you need to be a bit clever to handle copying

But marking cards that start in the deck is easier

[subtle merlin]

I wouldn't know how to do that without redoing the flag every round...

(Doing this from a Joker, if that wasnt obvious and is relevant)

[zealous glen]

What do you mean?

Just mark the cards at the start of the game

The cards remember

[subtle merlin]

How would i do that from a joker that can be acquired at any time, though? would I just flag every card regardless, and how would i even do this option?

[zealous glen]

You don’t do it from the joker

You just do it at the start

[subtle merlin]

I'e never done smth like this before, i'd need a bit more elaboration

[zealous glen]

See the Castle example

In SMODS

[subtle merlin]

The... what?

[zealous glen]

The example that recreates Castle

[daring fern]

How does one change the text on a button?

[manic rune]

whats the buffer stuff for G.jokers 🤔

[manic rune]

did you try using :recalculate()

[daring fern]

Nothing happened.

[manic rune]

huh

i mean you could try using DynaText instead of G.UIT.T or smt

it will update if you use ref_table and ref_value instead of a string

[normal crest]

Yoo hoo!

[paper zealot]

If it only needs to change occasionally, I'd just destroy and recreate it with the new text as needed. DynaText is good too, but might be overkill if you don't need fancy animations or constant changes every frame

[glacial igloo]

how would i go about putting a clearance sale effect on my deck but specifically for boosters?

    unlocked = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, back)
        return { vars = { self.config.consumable_slot } }
    end,
    apply = function(self,back)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                G.GAME.discount_percent = center_table.extra
                for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do
                    if v.set_cost then v:set_cost() end
                end
                return true
            end
        }))
    end,```

[rugged pier]

Oh btw I did get the draggable text box thing working, thanks so much once again for that :3

[daring fern]

Hook Card:set_cost()

[placid star]

can you trigger a message outside of a returnr?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[placid star]

how..?

[daring fern]

SMODS.calculate_effect({message = "message"}, card)

[sudden arrow]

Dont know if this is the right chat to ask this, but I've been compiling ideas for a mod that I theoretically want to make, and I would like to work on the art for it but I dont really know how to...start per say

[daring fern]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349064230825103441

[sudden arrow]

Oh thank you

[faint yacht]

That... and start with something simple at first, then branch out to said ideas.

-# Or go full hog-

[sudden arrow]

I mean, I could try and go full hog, and some of the joker ideas are simple in nature and shoul be easy to code but most are complicated in both art AND effect. On top of that I've gotta design a new look for a consumable type thats gonna be similar to Tarots and Spectrals. Now im probably going in way over my head-

(and the whole mod concept is kind of complex and open ended)

use SMODS.add_card instead

[gusty hatch]

i dont know mate im sorry

[ivory coral]

is there a way to know if a crash was caused by a mod i added or by smods itself
because im getting a consistent crash in smods/src/overrides.lua but im not sure what the exact conditions are for it so i wouldnt know how to reproduce it

[spice wadi]

You should be able to read through the traceback

It contains all the steps involved in whatever caused the crash

If it's a mod you added, then it'll be in there

[ivory coral]

i dont think its in there but i dont really know how to read it

okay its caused by opening the deck while not having any diamonds in my deck

[red flower]

yeah that's a recent smods bug

[ivory coral]

im gonna test it some more

ah shucks

[ivory coral]

its only if theyre all removed afterwards it seems
checkered deck does still work

oh well at least its not something i did

[tepid crow]

If you use the dev version of smods it should be fixed. Or wait for the new release

[subtle merlin]

How would i debuff a card using a consumable?

[gusty hatch]

rn im reading the documentation its helping me figure things out

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#config

[subtle merlin]

I've been looking at it

[gusty hatch]

coolio

[merry raven]

Meeting a problem with one of my Jokers, its ability is to create this special sticker on a random card that expires after 3 uses, but there are a few problems

• Any subsequent stickers made after the first one either has less than 3 uses or has none, because the player used up all 3 uses of the first sticker
• Multiple stickers shares the same "pool" of uses
  • For example, If I have two of the stickers starting off with 3 uses each, after they activate, they'll both have 1 use left instead of 2

I've heard something about shallow and deep copying, so I was wondering if anyone here could give me any pointers

[crisp coral]

make the counter right on the card itself similar to perish_tally

[tepid crow]

sounds like you're modifying the base of the sticker, not the instance of the sticker

[merry raven]

I'm tampering with both the sticker and the joker to see what works, but yeah, that's fair enough

I never knew perish_tally existed

What Joker or whatever card has that

[crisp coral]

Perishable sticker

[pale holly]

I would like to know, since there's SMODS.has_enhancement/seal/edition to detect modified cards, is there a way to detect non modified one ?

I tried to do something like this but i'm most probably doing the wrong thing :

           for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do
           if G.hand.cards[i].seal ~= nil and G.hand.cards[i].edition ~= nil and G.hand.cards[i].ability.set ~= "Default" then
                       end
       end
   end,```

What i want precisely is to make non modified cards debuffed

[zealous glen]

Don’t forget to use your mod prefix

[subtle merlin]

Question because i can't figure this out for some reason: why doesn't this debuff the drawn card?

I thought card.debuff = true debuffed it but ig not?

[gusty hatch]

maybe you need a setter

or its in the wrong context

[subtle merlin]

It doesn't have a context, it cant if you look at the use function, it's not a joker this time

[gusty hatch]

mb i'm still learning myself

[tardy juniper]

okay first time trying sounds, how do i play this sound?

(did i even do it right?)

doing this crashes the game

says file doesnt exist

which it does but okay

[manic rune]

use SMODS.debuff_card instead

SMODS.debuff_card(selected_card, true)

[snow vale]

huh?

[manic rune]

it should be "mod prefix"_solitude i think

[subtle merlin]

That crashes the game...

[manic rune]

oh, thats weird

oh yeah you need source too

my bad

[subtle merlin]

What do i put as the source? Actually, what can i put as the source?

[manic rune]

any string

like, how do i explaaain this

im guessing source is there so that until all the source's debuffs are set to false, the card will still be debuffed

so that it wont conflict with other debuffing code, i guess

[snow vale]

how can i do smthing like this (example from myst)

i mean separating the boxes

[red flower]

just put your description in a table

[manic rune]

you couldve just asked them directly, but uh

this is an example of how to do it

[snow vale]

idk, it says dont reply pings so uh idk

ok thanks anyway

[manic rune]

you can just reply them without pinging

:p

[snow vale]

oh

[subtle merlin]

Woo! ty!
-# now how do i undebuff it at the end of the round?

[spice wadi]

you can also reply with ping but they might not like that xD

[manic rune]

similar thing, but set it to false instead of true

[gusty hatch]

hey guys i also need help

I want the card to show a tooltip of a tag

text = {
            'Sell this card to',
            'create a free',
            '{C:attention,T:tag_uncommon}uncommon tag{}'
        },

[tardy juniper]

it worked, thanks :3

[gusty hatch]

this does not have the expected behaviour

the tooltip for tag_uncommon is not there :/

despite being in G.P_TAGS

[manic rune]

you need to use info_queue lol

[red flower]

that's only for decks
for cards you need to add to loc_vars
info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_TAGS.tag_uncommon iirc

[gusty hatch]

Oh!

Great, thank you, ill read on that too

:D awesome

[subtle merlin]

That makes sense, but idk how id tell when the round ends to do that when i can't use context

[manic rune]

you can try hooking to end_round()

one sec

[gusty hatch]

it werks sankiu

[manic rune]

local end_round_ref = end_round
function end_round()
  local ret = end_round_ref()
  for _,v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
    if v.ability["a flag so that the code knows which card is debuffed by that"] then
      v.ability["a flag so that the code knows which card is debuffed by that"] = false
      SMODS.debuff_card(v, false, "source in here")
    end
  end
  return ret
end

this is how i would do it

[old epoch]

I'm trying to make a joker that gains mult per wild card scored, but when i spawn it in it crashes the game saying 'attempt to index local 'card' (a nil value)'.
Code:

    config = { extra = { mult_gain = 1, mult = 0 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult_gain, localize('m_wild'), card.ability.extra.mult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_wild') then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain
            return {
                message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                colour = G.C.RED
            }
        end
        if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_wild') then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end

I dont really know much about stuff like this if that isn't obvious

[subtle merlin]

I probably did it wrong bc ive never hooked well, anything before

(it didn't work, the card is still debuffed)

[manic rune]

are you sure you set the flag of the debuffed card?

like, in here

there should be smt like selected_card.ability.flaggedsmtsmt = true

[subtle merlin]

That's what i was missing lol, it works now! tysm!

[red flower]

you want something like this because context.other_card doesn't exist in every context

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_wild') then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain
            return {
                message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                colour = G.C.RED
            }
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end

[old epoch]

ah okay, do i just plug that in place of my other code?

[red flower]

yes

[old epoch]

alright let me try that

it works, thank you!

[burnt apex]

Haiya people, Im trying to set up a joker that converts Jacks/Kings into Queens, is there an existing joker function for turning one card into another?

[red flower]

SMODS.change_base

[burnt apex]

thanks

[whole lava]

is this how i can make the card held in hand upgrade to score more chips when scored later?

[formal parrot]

Hey 1 question

So

How in god’s green earth you guys make selectable ankh

Instead of random

[unkempt thicket]

Select joker copy joker

[tardy juniper]

how do shaders work? is there like a tutorial on it?

for editions

[modern kindle]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/EditionExamples

towards the bottom has some resources for you

[pale holly]

bumping this

[pure salmon]

do enhancements run calculate if they're in the deck?

[red flower]

i think you need to enable the deck area optional feature

[pure salmon]

the what

[red flower]

there's an optional smods feature to run calculation in the deck

[pure salmon]

oh

[red flower]

let me see if i can find the syntax

[red flower]

like this
#💻・modding-dev message

[nova finch]

can anyone help me here? I have no idea why this crash is happening
I'm trying to make a joker that upgrades every time a certain amount of diamond cards are scored. I figured out how to make it upgrade, but for some reason every time i try to reset the count it crashes. I've tried having it above the return but it also crashes in that situation

[copper thorn]

i have a quick question from me, a begginer, how can i make it sothat i have multiples jokers in one mod ? i already have a joker but iwanna add another one in the same mod

[red flower]

you should do it above the return
the problem is that you have a syntax error, you're missing an end or a } or a comma

[red flower]

just add it to the same file

[copper thorn]

ok but how ?

[red flower]

the same way you did it the first time

[nova finch]

when i do it above the return it gives "unexpected symbol" instead

[red flower]

that's also a syntax error

you're writing the code wrong

[exotic imp]

how do I comment out multiple lines?

[red flower]

--[[
]]

[lucid owl]

--[[ surround them in these brackets ]]

[exotic imp]

ok thank you

[whole lava]

is this the way to make the held in hand cards to score more chips

[red flower]

what's decard

[whole lava]

decard is a variable to check if the played hand have multiple suits

[primal terrace]

So far, if I want a Joker to destroy cards, I set getting_sliced = true to the destroyed card

But I found that it doesn't work with ExtraCredit Ship of Thesus, which checks for context.removed

[modern kindle]

Hi N

[red flower]

hii

[red flower]

then you're missing an and
also you should have a stricter context check like if context.joker_main and decard then

also do you want the cards to give chips while in hand or when played the next time

[whole lava]

i want to give chips when played next time

[nova finch]

I've like quadruple checked now, I don't see a single syntax error, it should be working unless it's a problem with the single line itself
if I take out card.ability.extra.cardcount = card.ability.extra.cardmin out, it functions fine

[red flower]

if you're destroying them during scoring you need to use context.destroy_card, else you either need to call the destroying cards context manually or use the new SMODS.destroy_cards function

[red flower]

is there another end below those two

[red flower]

then that's correct yeah

[nova finch]

yes

[red flower]

can u send me the whole thing in one pic

[nova finch]

here's the whole calculate

[red flower]

oh there's a comma after + 1 that shouldn't be there

[nova finch]

that worked! thank you so much!

[modern kindle]

sometimes i be comma-ing as well

[exotic imp]

how do I make the text change like baseball card

[copper thorn]

help, the freak did i do wrong ? i just wantedtoadd another joker

[red flower]

wdym

[red flower]

you probably gave it an atlas that doesn't exist

[exotic imp]

I want the text of my card to change the value after each round ends similar to how bull increases chips with money

[copper thorn]

it's supposed to work though no ?

[red flower]

use loc_vars (see the docs)

[red flower]

idk does the "d4rck" atlas exist? did you define it?

[copper thorn]

mmmmmmmm, great questioni maybeforgor todoit

my spacebar is kinda broken don't mind it btw

[exotic imp]

I have it as a loc_vars but how do I write it in loc_txt?

[sonic cedar]

is there a context for like
post ease_dollars?

like something i can use to call a return after a dollar bonus

[chrome widget]

I had to add contexts for all those myself

[red flower]

if you have vars = { 2, 4, 10 }
in your description you can have #1# for 2, #2# for 4, #3# for 10

[sonic cedar]

[chrome widget]

So now I have a context for dollars changed, hands changed, discards changed, ante changed

Once again if you want em, you can have em

[sonic cedar]

im sensing a pattern (that'd be awesome actually)

[exotic imp]

so if my code reads vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult } then doing #1# would display the xmult and change with it

[red flower]

yes

[exotic imp]

k

[chrome widget]

I'd just recommend changing the fnwk_ prefix I use in these because that's my mod prefix, and I tend to label all my custom contexts to prevent conflicts

--------------------------- Value easing contexts
---------------------------

local ref_ease_hands = ease_hands_played
function ease_hands_played(mod, instant)
    local ret = ref_ease_hands(mod, instant)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'immediate',
        func = function()
            SMODS.calculate_context({fnwk_change_hands = true})
            return true
        end
    }))

    return ret
end

local ref_ease_discards = ease_discard
function ease_discard(mod, instant, silent)
    local ret = ref_ease_discards(mod, instant, silent)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'immediate',
        func = function()
            SMODS.calculate_context({fnwk_change_discards = true})
            return true
        end
    }))
    return ret
end

local ref_ease_dollars = ease_dollars
function ease_dollars(mod, instant)
    local ret = ref_ease_dollars(mod, instant)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'immediate',
        func = function()
            SMODS.calculate_context({fnwk_change_dollars = true})
            return true
        end
    }))
    return ret
end

local ref_ease_ante = ease_ante
function ease_ante(mod)
    local ret = ref_ease_ante(mod)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'immediate',
        func = function()
            SMODS.calculate_context({fnwk_change_ante = true})
            return true
        end
    }))
    return ret
end```

[sonic cedar]

i mean ywah

[chrome widget]

You can also ofc edit them to send the mod that just changed

I don't need it for my current purposes so I didn't bother

[sonic cedar]

right right ok

my gratitudes

[chrome widget]

🙂‍↕️

And no yeah I'm a firm believer in theft. I want people to steal my stuff so I might as well just give it if ppl need it

[sonic cedar]

me mid updating the credits

[primal terrace]

Yep, this is way more satisfying

[modern kindle]

hand over the pack previewer rn

[chrome widget]

Oh if you want it, sure

i thought it looked so peamly...

[chrome widget]

I need to make an update to it because it currently requires a lovely patch and tbh it doesn't need one

A hook would work better

[modern kindle]

there is something i do ill have to dm to see how i can make that work but idk how shrimple it is cause im wack to make it work

[sonic cedar]

[chrome widget]

It's actually fairly shrimple, only issue is that I ended up recreating the card creation logic because there's no built in way to create a card key without creating a new card and I didn't want to make random keys for the prediction just to destroy the cards initially generated and recreate them

[sonic cedar]

So I guess it doesn’t work with end_of_round?
was trying to prevent it from triggering in any point other than the end of the round, only after the dollar bonus

[chrome widget]

Yeah the one I made is a kind of naive context that's just universal, any time the dollar ease changes

What specifically is your use case?

[sonic cedar]

literally just want to call a function after the joker's dollar bonus

(sorry i was restarting my computer i accidentally left it on all night)

end of round
joker gives money
same joker calls function

[modern kindle]

i restarted mine recently after leavin her on for about 2 and a half weeks

[sonic cedar]

-# >horse walks in

[red flower]

you need to patch here probably

[brave echo]

hey chat am i stupid

[chrome widget]

Oh then yeah this one might be a better option

Rather than specifically the dollar ease. Mine is used for a joker that needs to know your current dollar state at all times, and a similar one that needs to know your ante and hands state at all times

ohhhhh ok

[chrome widget]

But for a specific dollar giving action, there's def locations for it

[red flower]

do you have an assets/sounds/visitor.ogg

[brave echo]

yes! 😭 thats why im so confuse kfjdklgj

[faint yacht]

Missing modprefix for playsound.

[chrome widget]

For mine my joker checks the current dollar count and uses a base 10 log to determine the number of digits, and then gives you an extension to your joker count depending on how many digits of money you have

[faint yacht]

playsound('modprefix_visitor')

[sonic cedar]

whoa sick

[brave echo]

oooooooooooh lemme try that

Corpse Crimelord was.... uhh.... busted before it got nerfed p hard

bruh

[sonic cedar]

where is this anyway

[sonic cedar]

oh i see

[pulsar furnace]

how could i add buttons here? ( on the sides )

[sonic cedar]

would this work

[red flower]

no idea

[sonic cedar]

most terrifying answer actually

how would the if statement go though

[red flower]

_card.config.center.key == "key"

[sonic cedar]

you returned center in locvars

change it to card

[copper thorn]

like this or the 2nd one too ?

[sonic cedar]

both

[copper thorn]

found it out eventually yeah x)

so uhh i changed it and it stilldoesn't work

[sonic cedar]

?

[copper thorn]

itstill doesn't multiply the mult

want a recording ?

[sonic cedar]

if you want

id prefer the code

but yeah let me see what you mean

[copper thorn]

the code is the same but with card insted of center

[violet void]

Hello, what's the best way to have SMODS.create_card use a pool of every jokers from a specific mod?

[red flower]

create an SMODS.ObjectType

[copper thorn]

might be laggy i have a potato pc

@sonic cedar

[sonic cedar]

no

im

right here

i was just

[copper thorn]

oh sry

[sonic cedar]

trying to decipher the frames

[copper thorn]

saw you offline, sorry

[sonic cedar]

weird

[copper thorn]

x)

[sonic cedar]

anyway

isnt it a capital X for Xmult_mod

not too sure but who knows

[copper thorn]

it's indeed a capital X istg if this si it T-T

your never gonna believe me... it was all because of the capital X

-_-

[sonic cedar]

yeah

everything else looked fine so i figured

[copper thorn]

i have the same issues for two cards that works thesame way butthe firstoneuses money and the second one chips

so what do i put for those two?

[pure salmon]

this description is showing all nils in the collection, for some reason

[chrome widget]

you need to wrap it in vars = {}

[pure salmon]

ohhhh

my bad lol

[chrome widget]

So it's return { vars = {card.ability.extra.mult_mod, math.max(0, cumulative_mult)}}

[copper thorn]

i got no visible errors, whatcan i do ?

[sonic cedar]

youre not gonna believe this

[copper thorn]

...

[sonic cedar]

no wait firstly what happened

[copper thorn]

same asbefore but withchips instead

[sonic cedar]

(CHIPS instead of Chips)

[copper thorn]

hahahahahahahaha...

[sonic cedar]

[distant rock]

How do I make a joker draw cards face down?

[copper thorn]

wanna hear a story ?

it didn't work

[sonic cedar]

yeah i didnt think it would, but it's something to note

can you send the full thing

Is there anything that can be done with stuff that's already there? I checked Pokermon for example and it checks for the atlas used, but it doesn't work

[copper thorn]

still doesn't work

btw

[sonic cedar]

send it through

__discord formatting like this though: __
```lua
--code
```

[copper thorn]

?

[red flower]

wdym

[copper thorn]

i send you the file ?

[sonic cedar]

when you paste it in

have that surrounding your code

it'll format for lua

[violet void]

[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/common_events.lua"
pattern = "if v.yes_pool_flag and not G.GAME.pool_flags[v.yes_pool_flag] then add = nil end"

[red flower]

oh

[copper thorn]

yeah the ```

i don't have it on my french keyboard thoug

[red flower]

i feel like this is overcomplicating it, just use an objecttype

[sonic cedar]

yeah now put "lua" after it (on the top one)

[copper thorn]

lua exemple

[violet void]

does the object type go there

[red flower]

yes

[violet void]

but wouldn't the type be Joker

[red flower]

no

[violet void]

so it works as subtype

[red flower]

basically yeah

[copper thorn]

not the subhject tho ._.

[sonic cedar]

easier (for me) to read is all

[violet void]

ty

[copper thorn]

oh ok

[sonic cedar]

i think i have an idea now

[daring fern]

‎

[sonic cedar]

seal location is sprite based no? just move the sprite

[copper thorn]

i still don't knowhow to resolve my problem, it got ignored in between T-T

[sonic cedar]

me waiting for you to send:

[copper thorn]

oh sorry

haven't figuredit out

Yes, but no.

So I've got this code for a tarot that destroys a card for money

        ease_dollars(2)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.2,
                func = function() 
                    for i=#G.hand.highlighted, 1, -1 do
                        local card = G.hand.highlighted[i]
                        card:start_dissolve(nil, i == #G.hand.highlighted)
                    end
                    return true end }))
                return {

                    card = card
                }
    end,

But I've just discovered it doesnt work with Canio. Is there a simple way to make it work or am I going to have to rewrite some code? I know destroy_card is a little funky

[sonic cedar]

chip_mod not chips_mod

[copper thorn]

only this ?

[red flower]

i dont understand how this destroys cards at all actually

oh wait no i see it

the return doesnt do anything

you need to call the remove_playing_card context manually or use SMODS.destroy_cards

[copper thorn]

IT WORKS AFTER ALL THIS DUMB ERRORS I MADE

i still need you tho

x)

[sonic cedar]

still here

[frigid blaze]

Can you tell me what I need to add to make it work?

right, forgot SMODS had that function

[red flower]

oops

[red flower]

if context.joker_main then
  return {
    dollars = card.ability.extra.money
  }
end

[sonic cedar]

if i did a poker hand before i would but uh
yeah i got nothing

[red flower]

i would check how other mods do poker hands

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/RoyalFlush/RoyalFlush.lua

[frigid blaze]

I looked it up, it's not clear at all😀

[red flower]

what's not clear

[copper thorn]

itworks

everything works

[sonic cedar]

[copper thorn]

i can set you free fianlly

[sonic cedar]

yw

[blazing salmon]

does incrementing values with (var += number) not work in lua?

[red flower]

no

[sonic cedar]

no?

[blazing salmon]

sad

now i have to spend another half a second writing the longhand version!

[copper thorn]

time to not play my freshly working mod :)

[sonic cedar]

somecom sleep is a thing btw

[copper thorn]

somecome ?

[frigid blaze]

What does it mean if next(parts._flush)?

[red flower]

next checks if the table has something

[frigid blaze]

What is the correct spelling of Flush Five right here?
parts._???

[red flower]

i dont think there's one, you would check for parts._flush and parts._5

[wise terrace]

Hi, I'm trying to use smods post_trigger and its working so far, but when retirgger jokers (like seltzer) trigger it doesn't work

[red flower]

iirc it just doesn't work with retriggers

but ive never used it

[frigid blaze]

Fix?

[vast night]

Hey itsameeee. How are you doin. I wanted to ask if someone knows how to replace an already existing joker (8 ball in my case)

[daring fern]

You mean turn a joker into a different one?

[exotic imp]

I want my card to increase for each played card would this work for that or what would I need it to change
if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring return {xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + ( 1 * G.play )}

[vast night]

something like that

[daring fern]

card:set_ability("j_modprefix_key")

[daring fern]

No, it would be ```lua
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + 1
end

[vast night]

what

which card

[subtle merlin]

Also it wouldn't work bc you forgot a then and a end

[daring fern]

The card you want to turn into a different joker?

[frigid blaze]

Help guys

[exotic imp]

there was an end I just didn't copy it but thanks for pointing out the then

[vast night]

i just want to replace 8 ball by a custom 8 ball. how could ii run the set ability on 8 ball (like ik what set ability does, but wat)

[daring fern]

You mean you want 8 Ball to work different?

[exotic imp]

so if I want something to repeat for each card played I doif context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then

[subtle merlin]

How the hell would you even select 6 cards, is my first question

also you need to specify the card you're getting the rank of with rank.key, there may be more issues but that's the main one i see

[daring fern]

Yes.

[exotic imp]

thank you that helps with another joker

[daring fern]

SMODS.change_play_limit(1)

[vast night]

ye, buut i just wanna replace it

[subtle merlin]

it's that easy? The more you know

[exotic imp]

do I need the return? if not when is return needed and when is it not?

[daring fern]

No.

[sonic cedar]

no matter what i patch into here, the game gets stuck and the cash out button never appears
i can get around it by hitting enter, but i literally gain no money
what do i do?

[daring fern]

It is needed when you want to send a message or give mult or chips or similar.

[red flower]

don't return

[sonic cedar]

oh ok

[exotic imp]

but not for x mult?

[daring fern]

xmult is still giving mult.

[frigid blaze]

I can play 6 cards with a joker, I want 6 kings and I wrote key = 13, but the error

[exotic imp]

so then why doens't that have return or is only when scoring?

[old epoch]

Is there a way to track how much money has been earned over a run?

[daring fern]

Because it's not needed.

[sonic cedar]

ok i can cash out now, but it doesnt call the function

[red flower]

remove the func = function() part

[sonic cedar]

ohhhh ok

[exotic imp]

but why, is it never required or is it only required when scoring?

[hushed field]

In base SMODs, there's no function to discard a card passed through as a parameter, right? All discarding goes through the discard from highlighted function?

[sonic cedar]

well it called the function

[red flower]

_card instead of card
also context doesn't exist

[subtle merlin]

Replace (rank.key == '13') with j.base.value == 'King'

[sonic cedar]

got it got it

[daring fern]

No, it would be xyu[j]:get_id() == 13

[sonic cedar]

it workssssssssss thanks

[subtle merlin]

That would work better and more accurate to what they wanted, i was just using what i knew to help

[errant fulcrum]

Hey guys, what does this mean? The line referenced has this SMODS.destroy_cards(card)

[daring fern]

Update SMODS

[errant fulcrum]

I updated it a few days ago

[frigid blaze]

Syntax error

[red flower]

what's your version

[red flower]

j is a number not a card

[errant fulcrum]

Says 1.0.0-beta-0506a

[red flower]

yeah, update

[errant fulcrum]

Welp

[frigid blaze]

What do I need to write to make it work, I wanted to make a hand of 6 kings of hearts suit

[exotic imp]

how do I make it so that I can't get a copy without showman?

[daring fern]

xyu[j]

[red flower]

that's how it works by default, what do you mean?

[old epoch]

If you're spawning it in with cheats, it can appear in the shop even if you still have the cheated in one

[exotic imp]

thank you

[old epoch]

np

[exotic imp]

I didn't know it worked like that

[old epoch]

i was confused about it for a while as well

[snow vale]

what parameters do i have to give to pseudorandom_element() ?

[subtle merlin]

[table], pseudoseed("[seed here]") iirc (ik the first one is right but idk if the second one is the one that's needed)
-# Yay i helped :D

[red flower]

(in the next smods release you can use a string directly as pseudoseed 🙂 )

[subtle merlin]

How could I have a consumable give a card 2x chips and +20 mult that's removed on score?

[frigid blaze]

I choose 6 cards but it still shows flush five😞

[old epoch]

Is there a way to detect how much money was earned over the run?

[tough temple]

hey uh

what are collection_rows in consumable types?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1233186615086813277/1382873865939583026/image.png?ex=684d65e6&is=684c1466&hm=efd85510aa633af60b905e71546b41c01cbb9666a42873ddaa49874c8552890d&

[red flower]

how many rows/columns they use in the collection

[chrome widget]

You can set the size and length of rows for the custom consumable page

[old epoch]

oh ive been looking for that link thanks

[tough temple]

oh

thx

[daring fern]

You mean if money was earned at all during the run?

Not current money?

[old epoch]

yeah

[daring fern]

You would hook ease_dollars and check if the value is more than 0 and store the number in a G.GAME variable probably.

[old epoch]

Im pretty new to this and dont really understand what most of that means

[frigid blaze]

Heeeeeeelp pls

[daring fern]

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

[old epoch]

alright i'll read that thanks for the help!

[daring fern]

You need to make it be above Flush Five

[frigid blaze]

Well, how do you do it

[daring fern]

above_hand = "Flush Five"

[subtle merlin]

boop

[scarlet imp]

W Klei

[primal terrace]

I do this for my own Joker

[daring fern]

A joker or playing card?

[subtle merlin]

Played card

[frigid blaze]

It still goes like this

[old epoch]

Alright, thank you!

[frigid blaze]

It works, and it works crookedly if you change j = 1 to j = 6

[tough temple]

how do i make a mod icon?

[daring fern]

You would make an atlas with the key modicon

[tough temple]

thanks

[blazing salmon]

how can i make variables persist between sessions? (if you quit out of a game and then continue)
and also how can i make them reset to default at the start of a new run

[red flower]

depends on what you want to do

is this for a joker?

[blazing salmon]

yes

[red flower]

anything you save in card.ability.extra (local) or G.GAME (global) gets saved

[blazing salmon]

ok yeah that makes sense. its a global but not exactly inside of G.GAME, how can i add it there?

[red flower]

just put it there
like G.GAME.yourvariable = value

i recommend adding your mod's prefix tho

[blazing salmon]

well alright, thanks

[frigid blaze]

How in parts._? Write flush five?

???

[wise terrace]

I found the issue, I got it to work but the fix is currently messy

[wise terrace]

this is what I have now (the joker on the left uses post_trigger)

[rigid bear]

stupid question but how do i load in my custom deck? i just cant seem to figure it out

ive looked at a lot of source code but i cant seem to find what im looking for

[unkempt rover]

Someone help me pls :/

[unkempt rover]

I want to make a joker that when another joker is destroyed, it gains chips, but I don't know how the joker will identify when a joker is destroyed.*

[daring fern]

You need to hook Card:remove()

[red flower]

are you using smods

[rigid bear]

yup

[unkempt rover]

Will the sale also count?

[red flower]

writing your mod like this should just work
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/backs.lua

[daring fern]

Yes.

[unkempt rover]

but I want only destruction to count

[rigid bear]

lemme check something real fast

i think im stupid

[hallow slate]

How would I trigger a sound upon the card being created?

[daring fern]

You can make selling not count.

[unkempt rover]

how

[daring fern]

Use the add_to_deck function.

[daring fern]

not G.CONTROLLER.locks.selling_card I think perhaps.

[hallow slate]

Does it work when it shows in the shop?

It's a joker thing I wanna do

[daring fern]

It triggers when it is added to slots.

[hallow slate]

Ohhh

[tender blade]

can anyone point to a reference mod that adds new consumable types, rarirites etc?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[tender blade]

thank you

[frigid blaze]

Bitch, tell me why it's not working.

[subtle merlin]

Aside from this (which i still need help with), how would I discard the first and last cards selected? I've messed with G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted but every time it discards every selected card no matter what i try

[red flower]

that's not a straight flush?

[rigid bear]

@red flower so the issue im having is that my deck does not load onto the deck list and i cannot find what im doing incorrectly

but the code seems to match fine

heres the code if you would like to see

[red flower]

i think you need to unhighlight the rest

[red flower]

is the code in your main file

[rigid bear]

theres that

[rigid bear]

let me double check

[sturdy compass]

Header spotted

[rigid bear]

is that the issue?

[sturdy compass]

Not necessarily but you should be using a metadata .json instead

[rigid bear]

oh i am

[frigid blaze]

It should be flush six, but for some reason it doesn't work, shows it's flush five

[rigid bear]

can i remove the steamodded thing then?

[sturdy compass]

Yes

[rigid bear]

alrighty

[red flower]

well in the code you're checking for a straight flush

[frigid blaze]

How do I check for flush five?

[rigid bear]

okay header removede

what now?

[sturdy compass]

Also the Steamodded version you’re checking for is INCREDIBLY old

[rigid bear]

i saved and reloaded

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[rigid bear]

hm?

[sturdy compass]

Steamodded is on Beta now lol

[rigid bear]

oh yea i just put that there cause it looked right

i dont think it contributes anything to the code

i will change it tho

[sturdy compass]

Likely not but it’s better safe than sorry

[rigid bear]

alright

i still dont know how to make my deck appear in the deck list tho

like when starting a new run

i hate lua so much

[sturdy compass]

If you click on the mods tab on the main menu, does your mod show in that menu?

[rigid bear]

yup!

author and everything

[frigid blaze]

Not a slave

[sturdy compass]

And is this deck in your main file (or is it being loaded in your main file)

Main file being the one defined by your metadata

[rigid bear]

you mean in the same location as the json correct?

[red flower]

i mean i didnt say that would solve your problem

[sturdy compass]

No

In your metadata there should be a main_file parameter

[frigid blaze]

What's going to solve it?

[rigid bear]

ah yes sorry i looked in my metadata and i see what you mean now

one second

forgive me

[subtle merlin]

That worked, now back to trying to solve my first issue, ty!

[red flower]

idk

[sturdy compass]

Is your deck in that specified file or a different one? If it’s in a different one that’s ok, you’d just have to load it in your main file

[rigid bear]

yea i got that once you pointed me toward that

i appreciate it

i see what needs to change now

i had the wrong file as the main_file it seems

yeesh

[sturdy compass]

Ah rip

[rigid bear]

thank you

ill be back if i have another issue

[frigid blaze]

Why are you telling me it's right if you don't know how it's supposed to work?

[sturdy compass]

Damn that is some mean tude dude

Don’t expect people to help you if you’re gonna be like this

[subtle merlin]

Coding can be frustrating at times but you don't need to take that out on others :/

[zealous glen]

People won’t code your mod for you

[red flower]

I can read code to know if it makes sense or not, that doesn't mean I know the solution

[rigid bear]

@sturdy compassi got it! thank you!! just one more thing

i have a custom sprite for the deck (not in an atlas its a singular png)

how do i make the deck sprite the one i drew

?

[sturdy compass]

You would still need to define an atlas, even if it’s just one png

[rigid bear]

alrighty then

see i did not know that

but thats lua i guess

ugh

[red flower]

nah that's smods

[rigid bear]

oh what

ew

look man i dont like lua

adding more stuff to it makes it mor eof a headache for me

especially after i spent like 2 days readign the lua manual

[red flower]

ok the lua manual is trash

[sturdy compass]

Lmfao

[rigid bear]

explains a lot honestly

[sturdy compass]

I learned just by doing stuff here and I think I’m having a pretty decent time

[subtle merlin]

FUCK YES I GOT IT

[red flower]

it explains everything
in the most obtuse way possible

[rigid bear]

lolololol

thanks for making me feel better about it

im not the brightest but reading that manual made me feel like a neanderthal

it was really discouraging to read lmao

i was doing my best

[red flower]

yeah it's not good, thankfully it was easy for me to transition from python

[rigid bear]

yea that makes sense

[subtle merlin]

I can't belive an idea that stupid worked, but it did lmao
-# (I got the consumable I was asking abt here working)

[rigid bear]

btw i see it everywhere and im usign one just in case

but whats an src file and why does every mod i see use it

[red flower]

can you elaborate?

[hasty mist]

is there a way to use blueprint_effect on a joker in the collection rather than in the joker cardarea

prob stupid question

[rigid bear]

in the mod folders i have (was using them for reference), like cryptid and some other things, they have an src folder

like

just a folder called 'src'

[red flower]

no, i think you need to make a fake card

[rigid bear]

and it seemed important so im using one but i dont know what it means

[hasty mist]

yeah thats what i thought

[rigid bear]

its in smods too if im correct

this

[red flower]

src stands for source and it usually means the source code, it's normal for programs in general to have the code in a folder called src
but it's not mandatory and there's no special function to it

[rigid bear]

oh

that

makes more sense

thank you

[maiden phoenix]

Good you haven't given them the true reason, that's it's a code for the secret cul-

[red flower]

shh

[rigid bear]

you guys mind looking at this and telling me whats wrong

i think im using atlases wrong but im not too sure

[hybrid shadow]

dont ask to ask just ask and show code

[gentle rain]

not understanding how to fix the ERROR message or how to change the background color

[hybrid shadow]

atlases should have their path defined in SMODS.Atlas

[rigid bear]

whats some example syntax of this?

[gentle rain]

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

[rigid bear]

and i can put this above the code i just submitted?\

[gentle rain]

i have mine like this

[rigid bear]

oh this really helps

i needed an example

thank you

[feral panther]

how dod you write this

[gentle rain]

do i need to do something with create_UIBox? im looking through other mods but i really have a hard time seeing whats wrong about mine in particular, and none of these use create_UIBox

[gentle rain]

-# like this

[feral panther]

?

No its like small text

[gentle rain]

-# yeah thats what -# does

[feral panther]

so what you do it on both sides?

[gentle rain]

no

[feral panther]

oh I see
