[mossy helm]

anyway
I was trying to do the atlas method used in the SampleJokers mod, ubut I'm not sure what's wrong, the code looks the exactly same from that mod (which is this one)

couldn't really understand the log either

[daring fern]

It seems to work.

[red flower]

the problem is using samplejimbos

use a newer example mod

[mossy helm]

dang

[wintry solar]

what is this example mod you speak of?

[mossy helm]

https://github.com/VilleKokkarinen/SampleJimbos

[wintry solar]

yeah absolutely do not use that

[red flower]

thats me there

[modern kindle]

i was about to post that

[wintry solar]

that code is over 14 months old

[mossy helm]

oopsie daisy

[modern kindle]

you can refer to examples, the wiki, and smods itself here https://github.com/Steamodded

you can also refer to here https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade for some good practices

[mossy helm]

hmm

[daring fern]

Would it be possible to do a similar thing for seals?

[snow vale]

how is a context created? id love to see an example so i can make mine

[daring fern]

SMODS.calculate_context({modprefix_contextname = true}) I think.

Mod prefix is not required but it is reccomended.

[snow vale]

oh ok

ok

and how do i code it?

[vale glen]

You can find examples in Steamodded itself by searching the source code for that function call.

[snow vale]

yeah i was searching and didnt find it

[vale glen]

How are you searching for it? Those function calls should be there.

[snow vale]

found it nvm

[vale glen]

[snow vale]

wait what, there's nothing?

[turbid maple]

i thunk you found lsp definitions

[snow vale]

maybe

yeah i did

oh found it at utils

well yeah i found it but um now what

i suck at this 😭

[turbid maple]

you call calculate_context then the game makes every joker run its calculation routine with the context you fed it

[vale glen]

That's the definition, not the function call

Try searching in the lovely dump maybe?

[snow vale]

ok

[turbid maple]

SMODS.calculate_context( {
    example_jimbo_annihilated = true
})

then if another joker has stuff like

if context.example_jimbo_annihilated then
   -- give morbillion xmult
end

it will run

the hard part is getting the calculate_context call to be at the right place

which requires patching the game half the time

[snow vale]

and how do i make it check if a card is destroyed...

[daring fern]

You would hook Card:remove()

[turbid maple]

0 days since last "check joker is destroyed" question

[vale glen]

You'd have to find the right function to patch, make a lovely patch for it with your custom context called at the right time, then check for that context in your card.

[snow vale]

man what do i do if i suck at this 😭

[red flower]

i will make another smods pr

[vale glen]

You can also search this discord channel to see if others have had your same question, and what they did to fix their code

If you can't do it yourself, perhaps others have done it already

[red flower]

(this is like hand.visible but as a function)

[snow vale]

which might have happened

[turbid maple]

the easiest answer is look at how paperback did it and copy it

[daring fern]

No, hooking is sufficient here.

[vale glen]

Oh, this is cool. Does this context happen in booster packs as well, or just during blinds?

[red flower]

it's just a function, you can put whatever

[snow vale]

nice idea

[vale glen]

Ah

[turbid maple]

https://github.com/Balatro-Paperback/paperback/blob/07539b371639a5a2e133a09042185e4306ca1af8/utilities/hooks.lua#L107

[snow vale]

yeah i alr had it

[daring fern]

local oldcardremove = Card.remove
function Card:remove()
    if self.added_to_deck and self.ability.set == 'Joker' and not G.CONTROLLER.locks.selling_card then
        SMODS.calculate_context({modprefix_context = true})
    end
    return oldcardremove(self)
end

[snow vale]

wow thanks

[red flower]

im just going to save this post

[snow vale]

actually where do i put that

[daring fern]

Anywhere in your code.

[snow vale]

oh ok

[signal slate]

Can somebody help me with rarities, I'm having a hard time with trying to find something that works Tried modding chat but they pointed me here

[daring fern]

What is the issue?

[snow vale]

ik i have it wrong, but idk how to put it correctly. how should i put that in the calculate?

[burnt apex]

if im reading the wiki right, final_scoring_step only works for score modification

[vale glen]

Oh, this is so much simpler than patching. Of course there are variables in a Card object to track state, didn't even know about the added to deck variable. Cool!

[daring fern]

if context.whatyoucalledthecontext then

[signal slate]

1. Pools are messed up
2. Ive been trying for days and I'm getting sick of coding witch I don't want that to happen
3. With the example I was able to scrap, the pools are blank and the keys don't match

[snow vale]

oh

[signal slate]

It also all dumbs down to me not knowing wth i'm doing when it comes to rarities

[copper thorn]

what do you wanna do at the base of it all ?

[daring fern]

Code?

[signal slate]

oh wait I got the code one sec

[snow vale]

epic

[daring fern]

Code?

[snow vale]

wait i think ik what i have wrong

lemme test again

[gusty hatch]

WOW!

I wanna be them!

[snow vale]

ok it doesnt crash now, but it wont alter the card

[gusty hatch]

It even has a jojo reference It's so awesome 111!!1!1!1

[red flower]

final_scoring_step is a specific timing in the scoring pipeline, you can use an event to do any animation you want in there and it should work

what i dont know is if it is the correct timing you were looking for

[split panther]

im very new to this
i wanna make a deck that starts you with some jokers and sets winning ante to 10
how would i do that

[daring fern]

What does it look like in the joker?

[daring fern]

Have you tried putting a print in there?

[snow vale]

hmm no

ill

[burnt apex]

The event timeline i'm wanting for the joker is

Score Jack/King
Flip, become queen while showing card back
Flip back to show it is now a queen
Discard

[snow vale]

ive a problem, and it's that my keyboard layout won't let me open the debugger (ctrl + /)

[daring fern]

You don't need to open the console to see the print.

[snow vale]

then it didnt work

[daring fern]

Where did you put the hook?

Wait no, you swapped card and destroyed in your context.

[snow vale]

on the very beginning of my full script

[rare torrent]

guys i think my code has the Oops all 6's curse, for some reason my random number between 1 and 9 keeps returning 6 every time ```calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.joker_main then
-- use Joker ID and current hand to generate a changing seed
local seed_base = "calculator_" .. tostring(card.ability.id or 0) .. "_" .. tostring(G.GAME and G.GAME.round_resets and G.GAME.round_resets.hands_played or love.timer.getTime())
local op = pseudorandom_element({ "add", "sub", "mul" }, pseudoseed(seed_base .. "_op"))
local val = pseudorandom(1, 9, pseudoseed(seed_base .. "_val"))

        if op == "add" then
            return {
                mult = val,
                colour = G.C.WHITE,
                card = self
            }
        elseif op == "sub" then
            return {
                mult = -val,
                colour = G.C.WHITE,
                card = self
            }
        elseif op == "mul" then
            return {
                xmult = val,
                colour = G.C.WHITE,
                card = self
            }
        end
    end
end```

[snow vale]

wdym?

[daring fern]

ub_carddestroyed and ub_destroyedcard

[snow vale]

.

🙂 🔫

why is it always the dumbest things

it works now

last thing

how can i check what card is being destroyed?

[daring fern]

Put in SMODS.calculate_context, ub_cardbeingdestroyed = self

[snow vale]

ok

[final jewel]

I keep crashing when I open the shop

[burnt apex]

So within the event manager do I call on the step by just doing "if context.final_scoring_step and context.cardarea == G.play then" followed by card:flip()?

or do i call for context before the manager?

[wintry solar]

before

[burnt apex]

Ok thank you

after thinking about it i realsied it made a lot more sense to call context first lol

[snow vale]

IT WORKS

YAYYSS

tysm

[daring fern]

The only thing I'm confused about is why my list keeps resetting.

Also the negative hand size seems to not go away.

[formal parrot]

Did you deleted all hands

Except two

[red flower]

yes

you can still play them tho, they just dont count for anything that looks for visible poker hands

[formal parrot]

Casual yes

Mhm

Interesting

Yo you made the family

Useless

And the trio

And the other one

[red flower]

no those actually dont care about if the pokerhand is visible

[formal parrot]

I can only think of to do list

[red flower]

basically only to do list and obelisk do

[formal parrot]

Fuck obelisk

[red flower]

and the telescope voucher

anyway it works well enough im going to pr it

[burnt apex]

So I think i have no idea what im doing, how do i go about having an event trigger on the final scoring step? and am I even using card:flip() correctly?

[red flower]

remove the cardarea check

also right click > format document

this doesnt work this way in lua either

[snow vale]

how can i make a floating thing like the legendary jokers?

[burnt apex]

it does work in game though, at least as far as i can tell

but i may need to do more testing

[daring fern]

You set soul_pos

[snow vale]

ok

[burnt apex]

ok seems like i misremembered

it in fact does not

[wintry solar]

it'll always be true because if your random number isn't equal to 1, it checks if the value 2 is truthy, which it is

[snow vale]

do i need to have both floating and base sprites on a same atlas?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[snow vale]

ok

[burnt apex]

So how do I properly code a 3/4 chance with pseudorandom?

[red flower]

< 4

[sage crater]

if not pseudorandom("whatever_you_want") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / 4 then

although this method will make oops all 6s a bad joker to have haha

[burnt apex]

How so?

[signal slate]

still need help

[sage crater]

G.Game.probabilities.normal is 1 times 2^oops! count
if you have zero oops, the if statement checks if your chance is higher than 25% (3/4ths of the time
if you have one oops, the if statement checks if your chance is higher than 50% (1/2 of the time)
and if you have three, higher than 100% (impossible)

[mossy helm]

I did it

[sage crater]

since you're making your own rarity, you need to use the mod's id too. iirc the setup is r_modid_name

[daring fern]

No, it is 2 ^ amountofoops

[sage crater]

it's exponential??

ok TIL

(I basically never end up with 2+ oops)

[daring fern]

It doubles probabilities, not adds.

[signal slate]

Ok cool thanks

[sage crater]

ok, fixed the message

[burnt apex]

Is there a method I could use to make oops all sixes not lower the rates? Also the real statistic for male calicos is roughly 1 in 3000, would that be any easier to code and or not suffer as big a drawback from oops all sixes?

[burnt apex]

in this case it would be 1 in 3000 to not trigger

[frosty rampart]

just don't use G.GAME.probabilities.normal and oops can't do anything

[sage crater]

you could do if pseudorandom() < 2+G.GAME.probabilities.normal / 3 + G.GAME.probabilities.normal
which would basically get to 100% at 4 oops!

oh wait

I got it

ah well nvm

[pulsar furnace]

how could i make a section in decks selection ui?, like in sleeves mod when selecting a sleeve

[sage crater]

well, it would work

[sage crater]

if you do if pseudorandom() < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / (4/3) then that would work as a 3/4ths chance, but it would also basically just be a slightly better 1 in 2 chance since it becomes guaranteed with one oops!

also replacing (4/3) with 1.3333 would do effectively the same thing

[burnt apex]

ive decided to go down the 1/3000 of not triggering route, whats the symbol used to indicate a not equals? or if it doesn't support not equals what would i do instead?

[sage crater]

~= is probably what you're looking for

[burnt apex]

Oh also, how does oops look at a jokers code to change the values for numbers in text? I know the text numbers need values assigned but how does oops look at that

[sage crater]

oops! only changes G.GAME.probabilities.normal

and then all the other jokers just use that variable

[burnt apex]

hmmmm ok, how would i code the descriptions text to update the odds when oops is there?

like with vanilla jokers

[tepid crow]

wdym? like galdur?

or just the default "new run" menu

[pulsar furnace]

this

[tepid crow]

I mean, this'll sound selfish but I probably wouldn't recommend adding another bar like that

not a lot of space on that menu anymore

[pulsar furnace]

So what do you recommend?

[tepid crow]

depends, I have no idea what your plans are for adding such a bar

[wintry solar]

add it as a galdur page

[pulsar furnace]

no

[burnt apex]

also while I wait for an answer to that, how do i have an event trigger the cards to flip on the final scoring step?

currently codded like this but it doesn't trigger in game:

[pulsar furnace]

like sorting decks into categories

[tepid crow]

so a better new run menu? to navigate easier?

[pulsar furnace]

yea

[tepid crow]

what's the improvement over the galdur approach?

[pulsar furnace]

I don't like Galdur 😔

[tepid crow]

why's that?

[pulsar furnace]

i could make a galdur compat but idk

[pulsar furnace]

the animations

[wintry solar]

you can turn the animations off

[tepid crow]

I feel like you can disable those but I'd have to double check

[pulsar furnace]

wut

really?

[tepid crow]

well if eremel says you can it's probably true lol

[primal robin]

oh no... Entire idea of stringified Talisman can be dead rn

[pulsar furnace]

oh

[tepid crow]

wouldn't this only work if both sides were string

[primal robin]

The main point of idea to allow compate big number with regular number

[tepid crow]

the entire issue has always been that you can't override the comparing table <-> number because of the number (if it's table <-> table it's fine)

[primal robin]

I assumed that this problem relevant only for tables

[pulsar furnace]

I also have a question, can you define the order in which the decks are displayed?, like adding decks between the vanilla ones?

[burnt apex]

bump

[tepid crow]

the playing cards or the joker?

[primal robin]

@wintry solar looks like my idea for Talisman is dead. Can't compare string and number, just like table with number

(

[burnt apex]

the playing cards, jacks and kings that are scoring specifically

[tepid crow]

there should be a context.full_hand var in the final_scoring_step timing?

or context.scoring_hand if that's better

[burnt apex]

what its meant to do is: score the kings and jacks, flip them and swap them into queens, flip back and discard

[primal robin]

So, only LuaJIT

oh well, At least I tried

[wintry solar]

I don't think luajit is a bad solution though

[compact valve]

is there an example or mod I could use for reference? not sure where I'd use this and probably will end up asking a lot more questions

[primal robin]

If force LuaJIT as part of Talisman that's fine

[wintry solar]

yeah exactly

[pulsar furnace]

.

[fading hemlock]

luajit sounds amazing

[red flower]

i get why the buttons extend to match the middle box but it looks so bad 😭

i just wanted to add more sorting options..

[misty radish]

Does anyone know what mod uses the prefix "G"?

[burnt apex]

@tepid crow meant to reply with this to you

[wintry solar]

can you extend horizontally instead?

[tepid crow]

Yeah that should be doable if you iterate over context.scoring_hand

[burnt apex]

I have a single buzzing insect instead of a brain, what exactly does that mean tvt

[fading hemlock]

maybe put the options in one row

[tepid crow]

you can check out the implementation of e.g. strength if you don't really know how to approach it

[burnt apex]

ok

[final jewel]

Guys what is the best documentation for creating consumable type like it keeps crashing when I enter the shop

[tepid crow]

but you'll want to iterate over the cards in context.scoring_hand and make an event to flip each one

[red flower]

yeah thats nicer

[tepid crow]

strength does it with multiple events per card (1 to flip, 1 to change, 1 to flip back) so you probably want to copy that

[fading hemlock]

I'm really curious what month is, I'm guessing it's part of your mod but how a card can have a month really intriuges me

[fading hemlock]

oh cool

thats actually sick

[daring fern]

Why if the use_consumeable function triggers twice for gateway or similar consumables that destroy jokers it does not destroy jokers on the second trigger?

[red flower]

there are a lot of specific pokerhands too so the sorting was kinda needed lol

[burnt apex]

what file is strengths implementation in?

[tepid crow]

card.lua probably

the use_consumeable func

I'm guessing

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/33448418dc9cc36256e1cbb9963a65b4d799577b/src/tarots.lua#L681

:3

[tepid crow]

yeah that one's probably a bit more readable than the source code

[burnt apex]

my brain is just not putting the pieces together
maybe i should try and find an actually good coder instead
But then id need to become a decent pixel artist

[compact valve]

I've been reworking Joker values for the Balatro Community Update mod, but I was told in order to rework the actual effects, I'd need to make a lovely patch for effects, where can I learn more on that?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#patches

[red flower]

ok now to figure out how to hide them

[west prism]

How can I choose where a sticker is placed on the card, like visually? I could swear it was a thing

[normal crest]

A sticker you made yourself? Because the position depends on the sprite

[west prism]

oh that makes sense, just add empty space in the sprite right?

and yes I mean a new sticker

[normal crest]

Yeah just make a 71x95 sprite the same way a joker would be but just put the sticker where it should go

[red flower]

yay

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know how you set the sound effect of a new calculate key that i added?

the mult^ operator is a little underwhelming when it makes the same noise as the foil edition

[shell kite]

please

[hallow forge]

did you look at basegame files

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/4513d7a50361889f843ac1dc9796e1b5b8b5883c/src/utils.lua#L225

[shell kite]

Thankss

[echo pumice]

I was told to stop in here to ask how to mod this game

[umbral zodiac]

oh i have to hook card eval status effect waht if i dont do that and just make it play another sound on top 😭

[summer shore]

how do i add a joker when a run starts?

[daring fern]

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

[vale glen]

Just giving random ideas here, not at PC, but maybe you could return a sound variable along with the message, or a func with play_sound in it?

[lucid owl]

is this supposed to be done by default with a mod installed or with a certain feature on?

if it's as a part of a deck, check documentation for SMODS.Back

[summer shore]

function SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals(run_start)
if run_start then
local my_joker = SMODS.create_card{set = 'Joker', key = 'my_joker'}
G.jokers:emplace(my_joker)
card_eval_status_text(my_joker, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = "my joker Added!"})
end
end

[pulsar furnace]

Can someone help me with galdur?

[opaque hazel]

Is a this code needed for self made mods like mods you arent planning to share?

    "name": "BalaQuints",
    "id": "BalaQuints",
    "prefix": "quints",
    "version": "1.1",

}```

[daring fern]

That's needed for all mods.

[opaque hazel]

ok

[subtle merlin]

Uhhhhhhhhh i dont think that's a pair, game

[hallow forge]

6 and 8 are both even

so close enough

[spice wadi]

Yeah it contains the information required to actually load your mod

[opaque hazel]

oops

[subtle merlin]

Ik what's causing it but this is rly funny to me

[wild escarp]

How would I check the enhancement of a selected playing card?

[daring fern]

SMODS.has_enhancement(G.hand.highlighted[1], "m_modprefix_key")

[wild escarp]

Thanks!

[scarlet imp]

in the code for Glass Joker (at least on vanilla remade), there's a check to see if Hanged Man is being used because it can destroy cards. I have a few of my own consumables that destroy cards in hand, and I tried to add it to this check, but it didn't work. Here's the relevant code:

if context.using_consumeable and not context.blueprint and
               (context.consumeable.config.center.key == "c_hanged_man" or
               context.consumeable.config.center.key == "c_tboi_r_devil" or
               context.consumeable.config.center.key == "c_tboi_r_hanged_man" or
               context.consumeable.config.center.key == "c_tboi_r_moon" or
               context.consumeable.config.center.key == "c_tboi_r_star" or
               context.consumeable.config.center.key == "c_tboi_r_sun" or
               context.consumeable.config.center.key == "c_tboi_r_world") then
                -- We need to run this code for anything that can potentially destroy cards in hand
                local glass_cards = 0
                local temp_hand = {}
                for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do temp_hand[#temp_hand + 1] = playing_card end
                for _, removed_card in ipairs(G.hand.highlighted) do
                    if SMODS.has_enhancement(removed_card, "m_glass") then glass_cards = glass_cards + 1 end
                end
                if glass_cards > 0 then
                    card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.Xmult_gain * glass_cards
                    return {
                        message = localize ({
                            type = "variable",
                            key = "a_xmult",
                            vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult }
                        })
                    }
                end
            end

even though I rewrote the code to find which cards get destroyed in my own way, it still works for the Hanged Man, so idk what I did wrong

[violet gulch]

if it works for hanged man still, wouldn't that imply the key for your consumables aren't matching?

[scarlet imp]

I thought that too but no, the only difference that my consumeables seem to have is that you don't select the cards that get deleted, the same way you don't select the ones for Immolate

[violet gulch]

I have no clue, sorry

[scarlet imp]

well here's the thing

after saying that I tried immolate, and it doesn't update glass joker either

so I'm gonna have to reprogram immolate too lol

or at least take ownership of its use funciton

[violet gulch]

Isn't that a known bug that Immolate doesn't trigger glass joker?

[scarlet imp]

guess I just discovered it for myself lol

[violet gulch]

lol that would make sense I reckon if yours work like Immolate.

[scarlet imp]

I suppose I can wait for the game to get patched so I don't have to do it myself, I'm gonna be working on this for months anyway

[violet gulch]

https://balatrogame.fandom.com/wiki/Bugs

Looks like glass joker doesn't interact with any of the card destroying spectrals

[granite nymph]

i feel like yandev right now

there HAS to be a better way to do this

[wild escarp]

Could someone help me out with this joker? Trying to make stone cards bypass the card selection limit.

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring then
        local stone = 0
        for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do
            if SMODS.has_enhancement(G.hand.highlighted[i], "m_stone") then
                stone = stone + 1
            end
        end
        SMODS.change_play_limit(stone)
        SMODS.change_discard_limit(stone)
    end
end

[scarlet imp]

this is a super jank solution but you could temporarily make them negative and then take the enhancement away after lmao

you could look into the code of The Serpent on vanilla remade to see how they add excess cards to your hand

[wild escarp]

Doesn't negative just affect hand size on playing cards?

[scarlet imp]

ohh card selection limit mb

[violet gulch]

What is it doing/not doing currently?

[wild escarp]

Well, this code I have does absolutely nothing as far as I can tell.

[violet gulch]

would the intention be for it to modify the limit when a stone card is selected or just by the amount in your drawn hand?

[granite nymph]

bump bump

[wild escarp]

When the card is selected.

[scarlet imp]

also, I think this code implies that your selection size will be increased for each stone card in hand, right? so could you select 6 cards not including any stone?

[mild olive]

crash says the audio does not exist, what did i do wrong here 💔

[scarlet imp]

maybe try to change it so that when a stone card is selected, THATs when your selection limit changes

[violet gulch]

So, just to ensure I understand, lets say I have a hand size of 8, selection limit of 5. I have 3 stone cards and 5 other cards in hand. I select the 3 stone cards, and my selection limit increases by 3, to 8, so I can then select my entire hand?

[wild escarp]

Yep

[opaque hazel]

What would i write here ||I've never modded before|| code referenced from https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1341041293119459449

[gusty hatch]

wtf why are you jumping into animations as your first task

[opaque hazel]

cuz i wanted to make showman into tenna from deltarune plus i want to do something since im unemployed

[violet gulch]

So, to start,If I understand it correctly, I believe the context.main_scoring is too late for what your trying to acheive, because the hand is played by that point.

[gusty hatch]

pain for pleasure wtf

[granite nymph]

i reccomend maybe doing a bunch of other jokers first

preferably not animated

[wild escarp]

Yeah, that sounds right, I'll remove that

[violet gulch]

Assuming its not doing that currently?

[granite nymph]

yeah :'(

holdo n one second

okay so if this hand contains a seven its supposed to destroy entire hand and create one random joker per seven destroyed

alright

[violet gulch]

Not sure what context is correct for you, but from what I can see on the wiki, context_pre_discard is probably the closest. I'm just not sure if that triggers on card selection or after pressing discard.

[red flower]

after pressing discard

[violet gulch]

Thats what I kinda assumed. Is there a context for them that triggers on card selection?

[red flower]

context.debuff_hand and context.modify_scoring_hand both do iirc

[violet gulch]

^@wild escarp maybe start with those

[daring fern]

Is it possible to have multiple edition shaders drawn on one card at the same time?

[granite nymph]

bump

[wild escarp]

Yep, debuff_hand got it!

[mild olive]

guys

[violet gulch]

So, if you have no jokers and play a hand of 5OAK 7's, it should destroy the 7's and spawn 5 jokers?

[granite nymph]

yes

but if you play two sevens and three fives it destroys the sevens and the fives and spawns two jokers

[violet gulch]

If it contains only one 7, it should still destroy the entire hand, but only spawn one joker?

[granite nymph]

yes

[violet gulch]

Okay, I understand

[wintry solar]

Yes but it won’t look good

[wintry solar]

Everything is drawn with shaders, so if they don’t have an alpha value of < 1 they will cover what’s underneath

[wild escarp]

Is there something I can check for unhighlighted cards?

[wintry solar]

If you were wanting to modify play size on clicking a card, I’d hook Card:highlight

[wild escarp]

I have it upping the card selection limit, it just doesn't go back down.

[wintry solar]

You can do that in the hook too

[plush vault]

If I want to check if a card is on the jokers, what would be the call?

I can think of a rondabout way, wich is iterating through the jokers and checking if any of them equal [card], but I assume there is a easier way @w@

[red flower]

next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key"))

[violet gulch]

So I don't think I can give you a full answer, because I have not played with spawning jokers but I can give you my experience from earlier on identifying and destroying cards. My instance, I was trying to destroy card when there was a singular unscored card in hand. As I understand it from my earlier experiments, context.destroy_card triggers for each individual card in hand. I think I'd look at doing your logic for checking for the amount of 7's (if any) in hand in an earlier context where the full hand exists, make note of the check with a flag variable. Then in context_destroy_card, as long as your flag is present, mark that card for destruction (since you're destroying all cards anyway). Then maybe in some final context handle your joker spawning based on determined number of 7's from original logic. That is how I'd approach it.

[gusty hatch]

guys guys

I have heard feedback about my jokers

so i changed them

thoughts?

[violet gulch]

Whats the purchase price of a rare cocktail?

[granite nymph]

capitilize Ethereal Tag and Charm Tag.

[gusty hatch]

its normal prices, 3, 5 and 8

with half sell value its 2, 3 and 4 cost

(with available space)

which means it helps except in late game

[mild olive]

what is happening dude 💔

[gusty hatch]

which i think is balanced

[spice wadi]

Sound good to me

[spice wadi]

Where is the file stored

Also if we're doing feedback

How does this UI look

[gusty hatch]

is it maybe a little too cheap?

[spice wadi]

I have a file loading system that shows the errors instead of crashing

[gusty hatch]

maybe the rarity compensates

[mild olive]

fire

[violet gulch]

Nah, once you mentioned the sell price with the rarity, I think its good

[gusty hatch]

anyway im overthinking mb you devs keep devin

ill ask the community

[gusty hatch]

awesome

[spice wadi]

:D

[formal parrot]

I think

8$ is a lot for a spectral pack

[violet gulch]

isn't it looking for it in resources/sounds/ not assets/sounds

[formal parrot]

8$ is the price of the big spectral pack btw

[violet gulch]

But you get the sell value of the joker back, that was my initial thought too

[gusty hatch]

EZ OMG

[red flower]

play_sound needs the mod's prefix

[spice wadi]

It's not actually
This seems to be the correct location

[scarlet imp]

I'm getting a bug where simply scrolling to page 8 while in a run is crashing the game. I took ownership of a couple of Jokers on page 8, but nothing crashes unless I'm in a run, on the main menu its fine

[gusty hatch]

sells at $4

so its $4 for a spectral pac

[formal parrot]

Mhm

[spice wadi]

What sorry?

[mild olive]

if i didn't need to specify the folder in joker atlas why should i on sound atlas,,

[formal parrot]

So its like buying a spectral pack

Pretty balanced then

Approved

[gusty hatch]

im very impressed by your ui skillz

[mild olive]

"play_sound('xmpl_e_padres')" like this?

[violet gulch]

I haven't played with sounds, I just was looking at the file path in the crash screenshot. I'll bow out to others with more knowledge

[formal parrot]

Here’s on of my latest works
1 in 2 chance to copy the right joker at the start of the round
Otherwise copy a random joker because she’s moody

[red flower]

if xmpl is your mod's prefix yes

but also you should change it to something more unique

[violet gulch]

Love the artwork!

[mild olive]

wdym

[formal parrot]

Thanks 💗

[spice wadi]

This is the first ever piece of UI I created 💀

[hallow forge]

can it copy itself?

[red flower]

xmpl is used by example mods so a lot of other mods might have the exact same prefix, you want a different one

[spice wadi]

It took me HOURS

Like 5-10 istg

[formal parrot]

And make a loop that crashes the game ? Yes

[daring fern]

Is it possible to change badge size?

[gusty hatch]

👏 amazin

[hallow forge]

you need to fix that loop

[gusty hatch]

I imagine

[hallow forge]

crashing the game is bad

[formal parrot]

I did lol

It was funny

[hallow forge]

oh

[spice wadi]

I'm proud of the end result, it even supplies the full traceback that you'd get with a crash

[hallow forge]

nice

[spice wadi]

I've also made the same thing but for when a card causes an error

[formal parrot]

I can keep it and add a warning for fps drop lmao

[wind steppe]

How would i check if a joker is being added or removed from my joker slots in a hook of Card:add_to_deck and Card:remove_from_deck? self.area == G.jokers does not work.

[gusty hatch]

what a tsundere

[hallow forge]

google it

[formal parrot]

Ikr ahahahaha

[mild olive]

eh, im pretty new at this so i think it works better for using example mods as reference you know,,

[gusty hatch]

i think thats a check in the context.

[chrome widget]

This worked like a charm btw!!! Main issue now is limiting status text messages

[wind steppe]

i dont have context its a hook

[gusty hatch]

fok

[red flower]

the mod's prefix is just a string, it doesn't have any influence on the code quality lol

just pick something random

[mild olive]

ohh i see

[hallow forge]

make it as long as possible

[wind steppe]

as long as its reasonably short

the duality of man

[daring fern]

‎

[spice wadi]

It's not about the size of the prefix-

[wind steppe]

also make sure its unique (mainly that means cry is taken)

[spice wadi]

I just made mine the name of my mod cos why not

[hallow forge]

use only prefixes that are already in use

and make sure the items within the mod use the same keys as those form other mods

to ensure collsions and bugs

[red flower]

joy is also taken

no more joy

[spice wadi]

You should actually do that for a mod

[red flower]

do what

that is a mod

[spice wadi]

Balatro modding in a nutshell

[spice wadi]

Is it a content mod that utilises the prefix tho

[red flower]

no

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1338751631524888608

[wind steppe]

emotions are banned

only stoicism remains

[spice wadi]

Then make a content mod with it to make crossmod a pain :D

[granite nymph]

okay so is dollar buffer / joker buffer how many times the extra dollars/ extra jokers triggers?

[red flower]

i would never make my content mod's prefix more than 3 letters long

i like myself

[wind steppe]

four is good, five is pushing it, six should be banned

[granite nymph]

does anyone have a mod with the prefix "yip" already?

[red flower]

because dollars and jokers are added in events usually, you need to have a temporary buffer so other cards can check total dollars/jokers before the event gets called

[gusty hatch]

mine is PNMH

from "panama hat"

sounds cool to me

[sonic cedar]

where can i see the setup for set_sprites?

[granite nymph]

okay so

how do i get the amount of sevens into a boolean

(in a played hand)

[sonic cedar]

anyone know why this patch doesnt allow alternate atlas use with set_ability?

[turbid crystal]

not yet iirc

[granite nymph]

"local jokers_to_create == context.full.hand[1]:get_id() == 7

Can i get some help, this for some reason isnt increasing the number

    calculate = function(self, card, context)

[daring fern]

Is this an enhancement?

[worthy stirrup]

Joker

[granite nymph]

how do i make it creates jokers depending on how many sevens there are in yhadn

[daring fern]

Change main_scoring to individual

[worthy stirrup]

thank you

still doesnt seem to update

[turbid crystal]

are you trying to count the number of 7s in hand?

[granite nymph]

yes

[daring fern]

I ask because of this:

[granite nymph]

JESUS

[wind steppe]

quantum editions testing?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[turbid crystal]

you should loop through the hand and increase a counter every time a card is a 7

[worthy stirrup]

yea, this still doesnt update the number

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "Ral",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Ralsei",
        text = {
            "This joker gains {C:mult}+2{} mult per {C:hearts}heart{} suit played",

ohgod, its more code than i thought

i dont know how to do that😭

[worthy stirrup]

thank you

[daring fern]

local count = 0

[turbid crystal]

does anyone know how i could go abt making a joker that makes all other jokers equally likely to spawn regardless of rarity

[granite nymph]

thank you so much

[daring fern]

Try looking at Deck of Equilibrium from Cryptid

[rapid stag]

is there a bool to tell if a card object is flipped

[daring fern]

card.facing == "back"?

[pulsar furnace]

What is SMODS.Center?

[subtle merlin]

Is there a way to instance some retriggers to be different from other sources of retriggers?

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[subtle merlin]

We have a card enhancement that has a mult bonus, and are trying to make a joker that retriggers any scored card with that enhancement, but the retrigger only gives half the mult bonus

[daring fern]

Then yes.

[chrome widget]

Where are the built-in ability evaluation keys handled? I.E. chips, mult, x_mult, etc

I only see it for playing cards specifically, not jokers

[daring fern]

SMODS.calculate_individual_effect?

[chrome widget]

No yeah, that's what I mean

The only place I see chips, mult, etc scored for anything here is for playing cards

[granite nymph]

okay im still havbing one issue

how do i make context.full_hand[1] be all of the ranks of a hand

would i have to do the same thing over and over but with the numbers increasing

[daring fern]

You want the first card played to have multiple ranks?

[granite nymph]

no

i want to check if hand contauins a certain card

but i dont want to trigger each event indivisually

[burnt apex]

@formal parrot This is what i have so far (since it was dev help i figured I should post it here and @you)

[granite nymph]

i alkso want to destroy all cards in hand if it contains a seven

[formal parrot]

Card here would refer to the joker and not the played cards

[daring fern]

if context.destroy_card and (context.cardarea == G.play or context.cardarea == "unscored") then
    for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
        if v:get_id() == 7 then
            return {remove = true}
        end
    end
end

[burnt apex]

yeah i know i need to edit the event as it doesn't work

[normal crest]

Also you don't nest those context checks

[formal parrot]

Just put them all in one if?

[burnt apex]

im very much a newbie, does that refer to them all using seperate if thens?

[normal crest]

final_scoring_step shouldn't be inside context.individual

they will never happen at the same time

[scarlet imp]

I took ownership over Driver's License, and rewriting its loc_vars like this causes the driver_tally to not update properly:

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
            local driver_tally = 0
            for _, playing_card in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                if next(SMODS.get_enhancements(playing_card)) then driver_tally = driver_tally + 1 end
            end
            return {
                vars = {
                    card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                    card.ability.extra.driver_amount,
                    driver_tally
                }
            }
        end

this is taken from Vanilla Remade, so idk whats wrong
also the calculate works just fine despite using the same code, its just the description that;s not updating

[burnt apex]

Where should the event be to trigger then? (im aware the event code itself is incorrecct, im gonna try and fix that soon)

[formal parrot]

Do you wanna flip the joker or playing cards ?

[burnt apex]

The playing cards, specifically scored jacks and kings

[formal parrot]

You can do

For i=0 , #Context.scoring_hand

And

If Context.scoring_hand[i]’s id is jack or king

[daring fern]

No, lua starts indexes at 1 and lua is case sensitive.

[formal parrot]

Context.scoring_hand[i]:flip()

[formal parrot]

My bad

I didnt code for a while lol

[formal parrot]

And the change its suit

I mean rank

And then reflip it by doing the same function

Should work

[burnt apex]

so

I should run the card rank change inside an event as opposed to in the calculate function?

so that it flips, changes, flips back?

[formal parrot]

I think thats a way to do it

Or you can just make 2 events

Basically experiment , I’m sorry i’m not on my pc and its 3 am sadly i cant help more

[burnt apex]

Your ok lol

[formal parrot]

And i think

You should change ranks before scoring

Use context.before and cardarea==G.play

Individual is used for repetitions ,

[coarse plank]

whats the pixel size for the boss blind tokens?

[chrome widget]

34x34

[burnt apex]

Well the way ive written the joker is that scored kings and jacks become queens

[coarse plank]

would I have to use a seperate key for that since the one I currently have is 71 by 95?

[burnt apex]

and im not sure how to rewrite that if its better gameplay to change them first

[chrome widget]

Separate key?

[formal parrot]

My idea is you make a for to check every card’s rank in scored hand and if it’a a king or a jack flip it change suit and flip it back

[formal parrot]

Its your choice

You can do final scoring step if you want

[coarse plank]

this thingamajig

[formal parrot]

Yes should be changed

[normal crest]

the way you have it now is more difficult to do the flip, and it will check the chance every time it's scored, so a king that scores 20 times will have a much higher chance than 1 in 4 to turn into a queen

[formal parrot]

This is for jokers

95x71

[chrome widget]

The key is unique to any added atlas

You need to create new atlases for any new sprites you use

[burnt apex]

Its an almost gaurentee to become a queen, 1 in 3000 of not becoming one

[normal crest]

I assumed that was for testing

earlier today you had a 1 in 4

[formal parrot]

1 in 3000 is just funny

Lol

[burnt apex]

I realised it kinda broke the theming to not use the actual rough stat for male calicos vs female

[formal parrot]

0.0003% chance is crazy

[formal parrot]

Sounded like estrogen pills for me lmao

[normal crest]

anyway, you should do this in context.after imo

[formal parrot]

I think after is better aswell

Flipping before scoring is kinda weird

[normal crest]

and if you do it in before the cards won't actually score as if they were queens, they will score as their previous rank

[burnt apex]

I know, i want it to flip after xd

[formal parrot]

Lol

[burnt apex]

Well they are meant to score as kings and jacks then become queens

[formal parrot]

Does changing ranks require an event

[normal crest]

in that case do context.after

(context.before would make them look like queens while scoring as kings/jacks)

[burnt apex]

im using
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
if context.other_card:get_id() == 11 or
context.other_card:get_id() == 13 then
return {
assert(SMODS.change_base(context.other_card, nil, 'Queen')) }

to change them currently

[normal crest]

no, it's not required

[burnt apex]

its in the calculate function

[normal crest]

if you want to make it look good you will want to use them tho

otherwise it will just change abruptly

[burnt apex]

yeah thats what it does rn and i want it to look good

[formal parrot]

I think there’s a better way to do it

[burnt apex]

im open to suggestions

[formal parrot]

My idea using a for flips card one by one

And add another flip to make it look good

Probably should sleep lmao

[burnt apex]

Code wise hows that look

[burnt apex]

also yeah probably a good idea

[formal parrot]

Instead of individual use context.after

And make a for

There’s an example in the

Forgot

The name

……

[normal crest]

if context.after then
    for _, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        if v:get_id() == 11 or v:get_id() == 13 then
            -- stuff here
        end
    end
end

[formal parrot]

Bloodstone !!! In vanilla remade

[normal crest]

Bloodstone wouldn't use context.after tho

[burnt apex]

discord not squishing like other windows on linux pains me

anyeway

[burnt apex]

sap out my if context individual for this?

swap*

[formal parrot]

I’m talking about the for and the implementation of for

[formal parrot]

Yes

Put the flip and change rank in

—stuff here

Add an event

Basically

Context.scoring_hand[i]:flip() or v[i]:flip()

Since you’re using a variable in for :3

Test and come back if you have any problems

Also have a good night :>

[burnt apex]

night

[burnt apex]

when i place it into vscodium the lua script checker says that everything from the second if to the first end is an empty code block, any idea why?

hm ok deleteing and retying the v fixed it

odd

[granite nymph]

this joker is suppsded to destroy hand and spawn jokers depending on how many sevens there are if a seven is played

but when i play a full house with three sevens it creates 15 jokers

[chrome widget]

Behold my sadism at work

[daring fern]

It's because you're checking for every card.

[wild escarp]

Could someone help me with this? I'd like this joker to effectively make stone cards playable without taking away from other card selection. (Allowing flushes with stone cards). However, any card selecting/deselecting with a stone card selected makes the card selection limit go up, and it doesn't go down.

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.debuff_hand then
        local extra_limit = 0
        for k, v in ipairs(G.hand.highlighted) do
            if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, "m_stone") then
                extra_limit = extra_limit + 1
            end
        end
        SMODS.change_play_limit(extra_limit)
        SMODS.change_discard_limit(extra_limit)
    end
end

[granite nymph]

how would i fix that

[rigid bear]

how would i change a cards spawn pool

like making planets appear in the other booster packs as well

[daring fern]

You have to hook Card:highlight

[daring fern]

You do the joker creating outside of the destroy_card context.

[wind steppe]

how would i go about creating a sticker that has the same effect as negative? (without the shader)

[wild escarp]

Looks like nothing in there deals with playing cards and card selection limit, so I don't know how it could be useful.

[burnt apex]

@normal crest Would i need to put anything in the return field then, if i do change.base within the event

[wind steppe]

youd have to hijack the check for if you can select a card and change it based on stone cards

[normal crest]

you don't return anything here, unless you want to show a message

and if you do, you do it outside the event

[rigid bear]

would yall help me in changing certain cards spawn pool?

[burnt apex]

got it

[rigid bear]

it doesnt sound very complicated to implement but im not sure how to do it

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[rigid bear]

i have a deck that makes rare jokers have a chance to appear in the other booster packs

thats the goal

[hasty mist]

how do i set up a config for a mod?

[pulsar furnace]

can you define the order in which the decks are displayed?, like adding decks between the vanilla ones?

[rigid bear]

i believe so because i think cryptid does it

[burnt apex]

@normal crest sorry to bother again, what context should i be using for the first flip again?

within the event

[pulsar furnace]

I checked and cryptid doesn't do it

[wild escarp]

Yeah, sorry, I have no clue how to use this.

[burnt apex]

Can anyone tell me how to use card:flip() to flip certain playing cards

[scarlet imp]

putting the method inside of an event seemed to do it for me

[burnt apex]

What exactly is the method used? The wiki has like no mention of card:flip at all

[normal crest]

No need for any more context checks

you just do the flip inside the event

[scarlet imp]

its <variable>:flip(), where the variable name is whatever you have the card as

[burnt apex]

Id the variable the cards value or name?

is*

[granite nymph]

ive spent the last 30 minutes trying to figure out how to do this

[scarlet imp]

it needs to be a card object. So for example, to flip a played card, you could do:

context.scoring_hand[i]:flip()

and that would flip the card you want

[burnt apex]

So if i want to flip scoring jacks and kings, what would I use? (sorry if i come off as really dumb, im just new to this)

[granite nymph]

okay os this joker uis syuppsoed to discard all cards in hand and give one joker per seven played if a seven is played

but instead of making one joker per seven its making 15 joker for a hand of 3 sevens

[scarlet imp]

Something like this:

for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
  local _card = context.scoring_hand[i]
  if _card:get_id() == 11 or _card:get_id() == 13 then --11 is Jacks, 13 is Kings
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
      func = function()
        _card:flip()
        return true
      end}))
  end
end  

note that this only flips the card ONCE, so it will be facing down. you can add youre other functionality in between the flip and the return statement.
also, don't feel dumb. We all start somewhere 🙂

[granite nymph]

BUMP

[burnt apex]

So do I need to do card:flip again after my functionality, or does the return stement flip it back?

or do i need another event

[scarlet imp]

you need to do it a second time. The return statement just returns true for the inner function, it doesn't really do anything to my knowledge but I always see it at the end of functions that are made for the event manager

[granite nymph]

bump

[burnt apex]

from what i read in the wiki it stops it from triggerin on the next event again, just asked to make sure

[scarlet imp]

what exactly is the issue you're facing?

[granite nymph]

when i play a hand containing a seven it makes way more jokers then its supposed

its supposed to create one joker per seven in hand

instead it creates what i think is hand size times seven amount

[scarlet imp]

not sure if this is how it works in Lua, but first I'd make sure the indentation matches the structure of your conditionals

[granite nymph]

i dont think that affects the code it just makes it easier to write and reas

wghich tbh i dont care about too muhc

[scarlet imp]

Are your contexts correct? Because it's supposed to discard every card in hand, then create a Joker for each discarded 7, correct?

[granite nymph]

itys supposed to destroy every card in hand

but yes

[scarlet imp]

if you're destroying lots of cards at once, and you only care if they are sevens, could you do
context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card:get_id() == 7 or something like that

[burnt apex]

Ok im getting an crash caused by my .change_base code but ive forgotten what i need to do for it to not crash, any ideas?

[scarlet imp]

if you already have a loop to find the Jacks and Kings you won't need a second one btw
but if you want to change them into queens you can use this:

local suit_prefix = string.sub(_suit, 1, 1).."_"
_card:set_base(G.P_CARDS[suit_prefix.."Q"])

assuming you just want to change the rank, not the suit

wait hang on

dont use that lol

[burnt apex]

oki

[granite nymph]

other card not deifned

[scarlet imp]

assert(SMODS.modify_rank(G.hand.highlighted[i], -1)) for Kings
assert(SMODS.modify_rank(G.hand.highlighted[i], 1)) for Jacks

there's probably a better way lol but thats all I got tbh

[burnt apex]

those lines go between the card flips?

[scarlet imp]

yeah

[burnt apex]

and do i delete the change for them into queen?

[scarlet imp]

what does the Joker do? Is it supposed to mess with Queens at all?

bc if not then yeah, just replace what you have between the flips

[burnt apex]

It turns scored jacks and kings into queens

[scarlet imp]

make sure to add a conditional so that you change the ranks of Jacks and Kings properly

[burnt apex]

with a 1 in 3000 chance to not do ( Calico fun fact, 1 in 3000 are male)

[burnt apex]

once again, dumb newbie, how do i do that tvt

[scarlet imp]

local _change = -1
if v:get_id() == 13 then
    _change = 1
end
assert(SMODS.modify_rank(G.hand.highlighted[i], _change))

something like this should work to change them how you want
put this in between the flips

actually thats backwards lol, the 1 should be first and -1 second

sorry

[burnt apex]

easy change lol

[scarlet imp]

not sure then, sorry

[burnt apex]

hmmm when it should trigger im getting a attempt to index local 'card' a nill value crash

[scarlet imp]

code.?

[burnt apex]

oh wait

wait nvm

[scarlet imp]

got it?

[burnt apex]

no, thought i did

reading a diffrent persons response to the same error it seemingly comes from v being undefined

[scarlet imp]

if context.after then
    for _, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        if v:get_id() == 11 or v:get_id() == 13 then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    _card:flip()
                    local _change = 1
                    if v:get_id() == 13 then
                        _change = -1
                    end
                    assert(SMODS.modify_rank(v, _change))
                    _card:flip()
                    return true
                end}))
        end
    end
end

ok if this one fails I give up on coding
I just wrote the whole thing lol

[burnt apex]

this one in particular

[exotic imp]

why does this loop after each round and not based off number of jokers?

[scarlet imp]

sorry replace _card with v

can you tell I'm new too lmao

[burnt apex]

so ittl be v:flip instead of _card:flip

[scarlet imp]

ye

[burnt apex]

same error but with v now

i think its because v is undefined, should i copy that persons definition fo v

and if so where should i place it

[scarlet imp]

v comes from the loop, idk why it doesn't work. My bad

[burnt apex]

well if anyone knows how to fix this, i would appreciate

[wind steppe]

replace _v with v

[burnt apex]

ok it works!

but

can i have it pause the discard long ennough for the flip animations to play

cuz the flips occur at the same time rn

[wind steppe]

idk

[scarlet imp]

that's the part I never got the hang of tbh, I got the flipping to work but the delaying part is tough

what you could do is have multiple events, where they flip the cards individually and you put delay in between them. You can look at the VanillaRemade for the Strength card if you want examples

[burnt apex]

ok so it seems like delay just doesn't work in my code

for testing i just yoinked the bit of remade strength that handels it

and theres no change

[scarlet imp]

yeah, like I said I never got the hand of that bit. sorry I wasn't much help

[burnt apex]

Your good

the discard animations are an event tho right?

if so delay should work

afaik

or wait

delay just delays the event

not the event after it

is there any vanilla joker that does something to cards after scoring but before discad?

[wind steppe]

glass cards break then?

not technically a joker tho

[burnt apex]

is there a vanilla remade file for glass cards and the other enhancements?

[scarlet imp]

I'd probably still just use context.after

[burnt apex]

is it possiblr to do context.after a context and also context.before another context

cuz then i just need the context for discarding

[wild escarp]

How can I check if a particular joker is owned?

[burnt apex]

@grim stirrup any idea?

[scarlet imp]

if next(SMODS.find_card("j_<modprefix>_<joker-key>")) then

[hasty mist]

What are the correct .UIT values for "hand_mult_area", "hand_mult", and "flame_mult"?

[burnt apex]

ok whar was i talking about lol

that isnt how those things work lol

[thorn furnace]

How would I go about making vfx
Like if I wanted to change the brightness of a card for an effect

[burnt apex]

for anyone who might know what to do, im basicaly wanting to pause the discard untill the flip animations are done

[burnt apex]

also looking at remade glass im not seeing how its break supposed to trigger before discard at all

like i know thats what it does

but i dont see how

[harsh shoal]

hi anyone has code for this kind of description?

[burnt apex]

what elemetnt of the description :?

[harsh shoal]

like

gain xmult if u have x amount of money

and the "currently xmult" thing

[burnt apex]

ah

im new but description wise im pretty sure you just need to asign them values in config, not sure how your supposed to update those values tho

take a look at the vanilla remade jokers

[harsh shoal]

yeah i was doing that but they dont seem to have description text

thats why i asked here

[burnt apex]

ahh

[wild escarp]

Description text for that is all stored in the localization folder.

[harsh shoal]

ohh okay lemme check

OH okay i got it tysmmm

[burnt apex]

while chat is active again, anyone know how glass cards breaking trigger before discard?

i need to do simliar behavior but for running a flip animation

[wild escarp]

VanillaRemade uses context.cardarea == G.play, maybe that's what you're looking for?

[burnt apex]

that just checks to make sure the card is one of the played ones

need to find a way to pause the next event in the event queue

[hasty mist]

bump

[wild escarp]

Wouldn't that context make everything inside it run during that dedicated time? I don't know exactly how all the contexts work.

[burnt apex]

ok in theory adding blocking = true should allow the event to work but im assuming the discard is labled as unblockable

[peak tiger]

how would I make a card like Medium (but for a different seal)

I cannot get consumables to work

[burnt apex]

id assume you can look at remade medium and just change the seal it uses? (along with any other information)

[peak tiger]

where is remade medium?

like where do i find it

[burnt apex]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/33448418dc9cc36256e1cbb9963a65b4d799577b/src/spectrals.lua

[pearl jacinth]

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

is there something wrong with this loc_vars

[wild escarp]

I always do (self, info_queue, card), but I don't know if the order matters.

[burnt apex]

ok actually, how do you use the queue argument front

the wiki mentions it

but theres no example

[night juniper]

instead of doing G.E_MANAGER:add_event(e) you do G.E_MANAGER:add_event(e, nil, true)

[night juniper]

the relevant code in the game is simple enough

[burnt apex]

before i make the edit, would putting my event at the front of the queue make the flip animations play before the discard? for context I need some cards after being scored to then get flipped and then discarded

[night juniper]

i don't think so, this will likely make them flip before they're scored, unless steamodded lets you manually trigger scoring and what happens on each step of it

i've never used smods, only modded the game through lovely so im not sure, and i would recommend u just make the edit and see what happens

[burnt apex]

got given a nil value crash when it shud have triggered :/

heres current code

everthing is correct except the flips happen during discard

instead of befroe

[night juniper]

i have a suggestion that might be terrible, adding an event during context.before (if that's a thing) then checking inside the event if context.after to trigger the flips and having the event's func return context.after instead of true

[burnt apex]

context.before is only for effects that happen before scoring\

[night juniper]

yes, during before you'll slot in an event that checks if we're after to do its work, and otherwise will fail (by returning context.after's value which is nil/false), failed events keep retrying until they succeed so only when context.after becomes true the event will trigger

that's assuming the context object stays alive / isn't cloned between scoring stages

this ensures you added your event to the queue early but it only executed after score calculation

(bypassing the need for the front argument)

[burnt apex]

maybe its because its late but im having trouble translating this out into actual code, would it be

oops

1 min

[night juniper]

im having a hard time putting what's on my mind in writing too, if you could link me a dev branch ill make a PR demonstrating my point (and would like to test it myself too)

[burnt apex]

Oh i dont even have a github for this setup yet

[final goblet]

hi! am i doing this properly? how does coloring go for these again? @w@

[burnt apex]

not even sure if ill make this a public mod yet lol, i do have an idea for a proper themed mod tho

but thats for later on

[final goblet]

this aint the name of that joker lmao

i got confused lmao

[burnt apex]

i dont think ill be much help here but how on earth are you using a bright mode text editor(?) for modding

[night juniper]

you can paste the joker in chat 👀

[burnt apex]

im disturbed

[final goblet]

but wifis bein a bitch

[feral tree]

Hey

beginner coder here

im trying to have a joker do a simple 1.5x mult but the code's not working

any reason why?

[pearl jacinth]

what is the error caused

[sturdy compass]

Not necessarily the problem, but you can condense your return table to simply be this:

return {
   x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
}```

[feral tree]

This

[echo aurora]

can we see the config?

[burnt apex]

ok so i added blockable = false and now the flip happens before scoring

also realised for some reason its not showing the back of the card

[feral tree]

This?

[pearl jacinth]

you're missing a }

[echo aurora]

replace the

Xmult = 1.5

to

config = {extra = {Xmult = 1.5}},

[burnt apex]

i think its ignoring the context for some reason, i tried changing it to .final-scoring-step
Pretend the dashes are underscores \

[pearl jacinth]

oh and consider changing the rarity to common/uncommon

how can it be a legendary when it only gives x1.5 mult

[feral tree]

Planning on having it be summoned by another joker at the start of a blind twice

[pearl jacinth]

you can create a miscellaneous rarity

[night juniper]

im having a hard time getting it to do anything consistently

[pearl jacinth]

just like how polterworx did it

[feral tree]

Not sure where the missing } should be placed

im getting the same error

[unkempt rover]

I see some mods having xchips, how do I put xchips in my mod?

[burnt apex]

how so?

[echo aurora]

remove the two extra }

[pearl jacinth]

look at the code

[unkempt rover]

What code

[pearl jacinth]

something like big cube from cryptid

[feral tree]

The one's under config?

[feral tree]

did that, still error

[pearl jacinth]

after {x = 0, y = 0} is missing a comma

[feral tree]

do i need to put a comma after end

[pearl jacinth]

no

that's the last item so it doesn't need a comma

[feral tree]

still

[pearl jacinth]

before end add a }

also i recommend you to add localization variables

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  return {vars = {card.ability.extra.Xmult}}
end,
loc_txt = {
  name = 'Sheep',
  text = {
    '{X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult'
  },
  unlock = {
    '...' -- add the unlock condition
  }
},

[burnt apex]

anyone know why exactly my cards would be flipping at the same time as they are discarded?

[unkempt rover]

It just says xchips and that's it, it doesn't say how it's make

[feral tree]

Where do i put this?

[unkempt rover]

Does xchips already come on steammodded?

[pearl jacinth]

i think so

i didn't have to separately implement x chips for my mod

[pearl jacinth]

replace the loc_txt with this
and add the unlock condition

(delete all comments afterwards if you want)

[unkempt rover]

?
So the xchips already comes with the steamodded itself?

[wicked leaf]

tbh i wanna learn proper smods just to give joker mods proper forcetrigger support

[sturdy compass]

That sounds fun actually

[burnt apex]

bump

[unkempt rover]

how i make that someone help me

[feral tree]

i think i did it correctly

The error msg doesn't lead me to think i messed it up

[pearl jacinth]

where is line 191

also replace the unlock condition with you originally had (or remove it completely if you don't have one)

[pearl jacinth]

the if needs an end

[feral tree]

elaborate

[night juniper]

got it working with this

SMODS.Atlas {
  key = "calico",
  path = "calico.jpg",
  px = 71,
  py = 95,
}

SMODS.Joker {
  key = "calico",
  loc_txt = {
    name = "Calico",
    text = {
      "When a {C:attention} King {} or {C:attention} Jack {} is scored",
      "turn it into a {C:attention} Queen",
      "{C:green} 1 in 3000 {} chance to not trigger",
    },
  },
  rarity = 2,
  atlas = "calico",
  pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
  cost = 5,
  blueprintcompat = false,
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main == true then
      for _, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        if v:get_id() == 11 or v:get_id() == 13 then
          G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event {
            blocking = true,
            func = function()
              v:flip()
              local _change = 1
              if v:get_id() == 13 then _change = -1 end
              assert(SMODS.modify_rank(v, _change))
              v:flip()
              return true
            end,
          })
        end
      end
    end
  end,
}

note that i changed the atlas to .png, undo this to avoid a crash

[pearl jacinth]

use this for calculate: ```lua
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.joker_main then
return {
x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
}
end
end

[night juniper]

is this the intended behaviour?

[burnt apex]

yes, but it should be showing the card back before showing that its a queen

[feral tree]

It works!

[night juniper]

ohh, then you need to schedule the second flip in a new event

[burnt apex]

but thats a seperate issue to the one we wanted to fix

[burnt apex]

gotcha

[night juniper]

and probably make the event type after with a delay

[burnt apex]

would it be a duplicate of the first event or just an event with v:flip and the delay

[night juniper]

not very sure tbh, i tried this but it didn't really work, im not sure if it even slowed down the animation

but i'd recommend sth like this, with a larger delay and maybe the game on 1x speed

to see if it make any effect

[thorn furnace]

bump

[burnt apex]

No card back showing with a delay of 2

so i think it doesnt change anything

i think i saw someone with a simliar problem earlier today

but i cant remember the contetns of the messge to look it up

[pearl jacinth]

also don't forget the 1 in 3,000 chance to fail

[burnt apex]

oh that did get removed

thanks for the remineder

[peak tiger]

how would I apply an enhancment to a card?

All the ways I can find do not seem to work

[night juniper]

im playing with sth like this

SMODS.Atlas {

          G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event {
            blocking = true,
            blockable = false,
            func = function()
              v:flip()
              local _change = 1
              if v:get_id() == 13 then _change = -1 end
              assert(SMODS.modify_rank(v, _change))

              G.E_MANAGER:add_event(
                Event {
                  blocking = true,
                  trigger = "after",
                  delay = 0.1,
                  func = function()
                    v:flip()
                    return true
                  end,
                },
                nil,
                true
              )
              return true
            end,
          })
        end
      end
    end
  end,
}

but it crashes the game 👍

[burnt apex]

lol

currently reimplementing the psuedorandom that got lost in the chain of telephone that it has been to code this joker

getting an odd syntax error in vscodium

[chrome widget]

How do you access the full UI tree given a UIBox? I tried using .UIRoot.nodes but that seems to error

[burnt apex]

ok done

back to the card back problem

@night juniper this person has roughly the same second event as I have, and it worked for them so not sure whats up

[burnt apex]

SOLVED IT

[night juniper]

one is "before" and the second is "after" while you code I think has one as "immediate" and the second as "after"

[burnt apex]

i just had to make the second event unblockable

can someone help explain to me how if next(SMODS.find_card('j.egg')) then [...] always seems to return false regardless of if the player has an Egg, but if SMODS.find_card('j_egg') then [...] is always true? trying to get the length of the find_card table and checking against that doesnt seem to work either, as well as checking if the table ~= {} and ~= nil (yes im kinda new with lua sadly)

hmm did just realise they flip before scoring tho

[night juniper]

no they flip after

completely new to modding, how would i go about adding a joker card to the mod

[night juniper]

with this code

[hidden sable]

i already know about SMODS.Atlas

[night juniper]

notice that i used the joker context instead

[burnt apex]

i think a side effect of making the second unblockable is that it triggers early for some reason

i might try adding more delay

[night juniper]

it would do this if you added it to the front

if you still have nil, true there omit it

[burnt apex]

no nil, true,

not sure why its getting put at the front

i just want this to work like it should tvt

How do I make a spectral/tarot card apply an enhancement such as steel? I can't find any way to make it work.

[night juniper]

btw a flip without a pause is what happens with death and strength

so maybe not fighting the game's design conventions is just better

[burnt apex]

:?

[night juniper]

maybe reading how death does this and copying its code verbatim is the best approach🤔🤔

[burnt apex]

ill check it out

[burnt apex]

aside from the strength function only stuff and then my own function stuff, the flip is how mine is

two seperate events

with a target

[ember cedar]

ok ive tried a few more things and am just not getting anywhere, is there anyway to practically use an if statement to check if the played owns a given card?

The first way you have is correct but you have a . instead of a _ in your key

[ember cedar]

ah heck.

its 3a where i am, my eyes cant see the difference and thats the story im sticking with

Hello everyone, does anyone know the code for creating consumables like the tarot card “The Empress”?

If you want to find the code in the game engine balatro.exe in .lua, which one is it? Thank you.

[ember cedar]

in the game archive it should be in card.lua iirc

steamodded allows for the create_card() call though which is a bit nicer

[finite onyx]

i see

[night juniper]

i have a style recommendation for this, instead of nesting your logic inside if statements, use ifs with early return as guards, so sth like
if pseudorandom(..) == G.GAME.probabilities.normal then return end
this will allow you to have all cancel conditions listed clearly at the top of your function and the actually relevant code separated below it with no unnecessary indent levels

[burnt apex]

ill probably do that once i fix this

[peak tiger]

[ember cedar]

maybe try looking at code for justice, lovers, etc?

[peak tiger]

I have but it doeasn't seem to work

I'm trying to use card:set_enhancement(card.ability.extra.enhancement) but it too does not want to work

[wintry solar]

It’s set_ability
