[peak tiger]

oh

that also gives an error though, just a different one

[wintry solar]

What does your config table look like?

[peak tiger]

config = { max_highlighted = 1, extra = { enhancement = 'joker-poker_invis' } },

[wintry solar]

Your enhancement key is wrong, it should be something like m_modprefix_keyyoudefined

[peak tiger]

got it, thanks

[vast night]

hi everyone :D
how do i prevent a card enhancement from appearing in booster packs?

couldnt find anything in the wiki

[burnt apex]

gonna see if anyone has any idea what the issue is one last time before i sleep,

Expected Behavior: Kings/Jacks score, flip to show the back, become queens, flip to show front and are discarded

Actual Behavior: King/Jacks flip to show back, score, become queens, flip to show front and are discarded

the scoring and becoming queens might be swapped, but there isnt a functional difference either way

[vast night]

fixed

[hidden sable]

any way to make chances get affected by cards like oops all 6s

[burnt apex]

You need to use the uh probabilities thing in your pseudorandom code (search for the word probabilities in the discord to find what it's called)

[hidden sable]

did that but now the joker is triggering all the time, either im getting really lucky or something not working

[burnt apex]

What's your probability

[hidden sable]

should be 1 in 100

[burnt apex]

Code?

Just the pseudorandom since I'm on mobile

[hidden sable]

SMODS.Joker { -- Money Smaro Joker
    key = "moneysmaro",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Money Smaro",
        text = {
            "{C:green}#2# in 100{} chance to",
            "gain {C:money}$#1#{} on round end"
        }
    },
    config = { extra = { money = 100, odds = 100 } },
    rarity = 1,
    atlas = "moneysmaro",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    cost = 6,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.money, (G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1)} }
    end,
    calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
        local normal = G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1
        local odds = card.ability.extra.odds or 1
        if pseudorandom("moneysmaro") < normal/odds then
            return card.ability.extra.money
        end
    end
}

its not a long joker

[vast night]

hey

how do i add a random edition to a card?

[tight notch]

How would i check for cards previously played this ante in a joker, similar to the pillar

so like cards previously played this ante give +10 mult

[vast night]

look in vanillaremade

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/blinds.lua

[tight notch]

i checked

[vast night]

hmmm

[tight notch]

could i replace debuff card with other card

[vast night]

so whats the problem?

[vast night]

probably

[vast night]

card:set_base(G.P_CARDS['C_A'])

[tight notch]

?

[vast night]

that sets the card (in this case ace of clubs)

[tight notch]

still confused

[hidden sable]

any news on this?

[tight notch]

when testing the joker it just applies the mult to every card

[burnt apex]

Bump
(Also me when I lie, I'm not going to bed for a while lol)

@willow plinth so

[hidden sable]

figured it out

[burnt apex]

I'm trying to have a card score, then flip, become a different card and then flip back and discard

But it's doing something else

[burnt apex]

See the message being replied to

[willow plinth]

hmmmmmmm

so my guess is that your event starts to soon? like what if your first event is also trigger="after"?

also your second event has trigger=after but i think it should be trigger="after"

[burnt apex]

I'll try that in the morning then

Thanks

[willow plinth]

it's morning for me

[burnt apex]

Well technically is for me too

But like

Really early morning lol

And I haven't slept

[willow plinth]

eastern us huh

go sleeep

[burnt apex]

Central actually

And yeah I shuddd

[runic jay]

How would one make a joker compatible with blueprint?

[hasty mist]

blueprint_compat = true

[runic jay]

And where would you put that?

[cerulean bane]

With your eternal/perishable compat bools
I think you also need to include a blueprint context in your joker’s code for it to actually be compatible though

[runic jay]

But where would you put it specifically?

Nvm, figured it out

[stiff quiver]

is there a way to check if a card is being retriggered?

[wintry solar]

This is just for the visual indicator fyi

[summer shore]

how can i check if the last played card is an Ace?

[lament agate]

pardon

but how do you check if you already defeated a boss blind?

@faint yacht like this then?

[faint yacht]

That's for generally checking boss blinds... if you want current blind being a Boss one, G.GAME.blind.boss.

[lament agate]

soooo

how do you detect that you defeated them?

context.end_of_round?

[faint yacht]

ye.

[lament agate]

ahhh okay

thank you @faint yacht

[snow vale]

how can i make another currency?

[red flower]

carefully

jokes aside: that's not a straightforward question, it's a whole project

[lament agate]

do they not have example for consumables?

[red flower]

what are you trying to make

[lament agate]

a consumable

[red flower]

thank you

[lament agate]

a few of them atleast

[red flower]

what types

[lament agate]

WELL I MEAN LIKE YOU KNOW

tarot like

like every mods has their own

codes, torats, silly

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/tarots.lua

[lament agate]

thanks

[red flower]

at the top it shows you how to make your own consumable type

[final goblet]

hi

what color is used for negatives again?

i keep forgetting

[red flower]

dark_edition

[lament agate]

noted

holy jesus thats complicated

[final goblet]

tyvm

[lament agate]

im sticking to jokers for now

how do you check for a specific boss blind?

like for example, this joker only triggers at The Goad

[red flower]

iirc
G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key == "b_key"

[lament agate]

where do you check the boss blind keys

for reference

[red flower]

the localization files

[native zinc]

alternatively game.lua

[lament agate]

in vanillaremade?

oh okay

[gusty hatch]

estrogen

[final goblet]

was money used for the gold color too?

i'm willing to bet y'all can guess what im tryna do

i just havent coded in a bit

[lament agate]

like this?

[red flower]

==

[stiff quiver]

is there a way to make a joker trigger when a played card is retriggered?

[tough temple]

hey how do i change the mod icon?

[faint yacht]

SMODS.Atlas{key = "modicon", path = "iconfile.png", px = 32, py = 32}

[tough temple]

thanks

do i just like

but that in the metadata and reference it

icon = key goes here

[faint yacht]

...you just initialize the "atlas" for the mod icon and that's it.

Should be picked up automatically during initialization.

[wintry solar]

Maybe I should add a retriggered flag for playing cards

I’ve seen a lot of people asking how to check it

[tough temple]

its that easy?

[faint yacht]

Something along the lines of context.other_card.first_score?

[tough temple]

is there a way to change stats for the current round?

for example

2x hands

or 2x discards

or 2x chips production

using consumables

[daring fern]

ease_discard(G.GAME.current_round.discards_left)?

[tough temple]

would that only change for the current round?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[tough temple]

that’s surprisingly simple

for hands i’d assume i just replace “discard” with “hand”?

[daring fern]

No, it would be ease_hands_played(G.GAME.current_round.hands_left)

[tough temple]

weird

hey is there any documentation on this?

[daring fern]

No.

[tough temple]

how’d you learn it?

[wintry solar]

You look at the code

[tough temple]

i’m too used to in-depth documentation bruh this is to complicated 😢

[wintry solar]

There are a lot of useful functions like that in the vanilla source code that you just need to find

[primal robin]

Is anyone here who running Balatro on linux?

[wintry solar]

The functions that smods provides have some documentation on the wiki and the lsp definitions in the smods folder

But unless you find someone willing to document the vanilla game, you’ll just have to find them yourself or ask questions to learn from other people

[tough temple]

i reckon finding vanilla functions would be easy

send wiki link?

[lament agate]

oh thanks

[subtle merlin]

That'd be useful

[fossil lake]

Hey folks! I might be dumb but I'm having trouble locating any kind of guides/documentation for modding Balatro. I was thinking about seeing if it would be possible to make a mod that removes the rumble sound effect because it's really bass-heavy and sometimes when playing Cryptid it gets locked on for all eternity and it hurts my ears

[lament agate]

the what

[fossil lake]

The rumble sound that plays when you're about to score over the blind's target, and the flames come up

[lament agate]

oh the flame noise?

[snow vale]

how can i create another currency??

[fossil lake]

Yeah that

[summer shore]

i am kinda new to modding,to add a consumeable, do i need to specify the key and the area?

SMODS.add_card

[rare torrent]

it says in the api docummentation that defining a gradient to a rarity color is deprecated, is this true? and if so is there any other way of doing it?

[summer shore]

SMODS.add_card({ key = "spritz"}) gives
unable to index center a nil value

the card i'm trying to add is a consumeable

it shows on collection

[red flower]

"c_[modprefix]_spritz"

[red flower]

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

[rare torrent]

yes i know i do have a gradient, but is it possible to assign the gradient to a rarity color?

[red flower]

yes

[cobalt iron]

I'm trying to create a gradient but it's all white when I load the game

[red flower]

where are you using the gradient

[cobalt iron]

in a rarity

[red flower]

can i see the code

[cobalt iron]

SMODS.Gradient {
    key = 'testrar',
    colours = {
         HEX("131c5c"),
         HEX("000000"),},
    cycle = 5,
    interpolation = 'trig',
}

SMODS.Rarity ({
   key = 'test',
   loc_txt = { name = 'Testing',},
   badge_colour = G.C.speedx_testrar,
   default_weight = 100,
   pools = {["Joker"] = true},
   get_weight = function(self,weight,object_type)
      return weight
   end,
})

[red flower]

do you define G.C.speedx_testrar somewhere

[summer shore]

thank you!

[cobalt iron]

in badge_colour

[red flower]

define, not use

it doesn't exist unless you define it

[cobalt iron]

ahah

I'm not sure, how do I define it? Can't I just use the key?

[red flower]

G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.speedx_testrar should exist

[cobalt iron]

Should I use that instead?

[red flower]

yes

[summer shore]

consumeable = {
        use = function(self, card, area, copier)
            return {
                message = "+200 Mult!",
                mult = 200,
                card = card
            }
        end
    }

i might be stupid,how can i add mult directly from a tarot

[red flower]

returns like that don't do anything outside calculate

it's not very straightforward to add mult outside scoring

[summer shore]

makes sense

[cobalt iron]

It says it isn't defined

[red flower]

oh yeah it's not defined at the beginning

[summer shore]

G.GAME.current_round.mult = G.GAME.current_round.mult + 200;
can this work

[red flower]

ok one more, try SMODS.Gradients.speedx_testrar

[red flower]

idk

[cobalt iron]

it works, thanks a lot

[zealous mauve]

got my mod and joker to appear :D

ok now how do i unlock the joker for myself

nvm got it

[copper thorn]

        end
}

help

it crashes

haven't got nitro i need to make multiple messages sorry

iget these crashes evry time and i don't tget why

[violet gulch]

Is that the only code in the file?

[copper thorn]

with the atlases and metadata yeah

[zealous mauve]

is there any way i can spawn a joker in a run?

[copper thorn]

DebugPlus or UlraHand is needed for that

[zealous mauve]

for testing obviously

i have debugplus

[daring fern]

Is there a reason why when I try to use quantum enhancements it lags the game extremely and fills the event queue?

[violet gulch]

Got to it in the collection and hit "3"

[copper thorn]

then in your collection get your cursor on a joer and press 3

it should spawn

[zealous mauve]

it worked

thank you!

[copper thorn]

no problem x)

:)*

[harsh shoal]

was editing my sprites for some jokers and i started to have this visual bug where theres a 1px from another joker on the soulpos and idk why it happens as the code is correct as well as the image for it

its very subtle but still

[copper thorn]

i don't see it

[harsh shoal]

its like a line on the right of the 1st joker

[copper thorn]

oh

[harsh shoal]

yeah in the image doesnt show properly but ingame is very worse

[copper thorn]

soul_pos = {x = 0, y = 1},
pos = { x = 0, y = 0},```

should be like that to work

or restart the game

[harsh shoal]

thats the thing i already have that

and the image proportions are correct

[copper thorn]

put the 1 in y not x

[formal parrot]

I think you have one less pixel in the width of your spritesheet

[copper thorn]

also yes

[formal parrot]

Its supposed to be a 71x N
N being the number of jokers you have

All jokers are separated by 2 pixels

[copper thorn]

or like 71*190 for leg if you have one sprite for each joker

[formal parrot]

Wide and height

[harsh shoal]

ik ik but the sprite is also correct every square in here is 71px wide and diesnt have any pixel from the other

[violet gulch]

Couple things. You've got two calculate functions. Need a comma after the end of the first one. Also may need another end after the second one, or that might be the discord two messages. May also need some additional commas in your loc_text['text'] But also, why two calculate functions?

[formal parrot]

Your sprite sheet should look something like this

[limber blaze]

atlas sizes include the border

but yeah

it should look like that

[formal parrot]

Basically shift every joker one pixel to the right if you have the right width

[copper thorn]

i tried firstly with only one, and after with another one, and i forgot to get rid of the second one

[formal parrot]

Except the first one ofc

[harsh shoal]

ok yeah i might be stupid LOL ty now it works

😭

i didnt notice the sprite was wrong

[formal parrot]

:P

[violet gulch]

I appreciate you asking this. I had the same issue and have just been shrinking the sprite by a pixel each

[copper thorn]

but what do you mean abt loc_text['text'] ?

[daring fern]

‎

[manic rune]

how do i add my own calculate to an object? 🤔
-# or is it already added

[copper thorn]

oh sorry, haven't read it right

[copper thorn]

i still have an error on another line

[rare torrent]

anyone know why my booster pack is crashing when i open it?

[daring fern]

You need class prefix and mod prefix.

[rare torrent]

where

[copper thorn]

if context.full_hand[i] == context.scoring_hand[j] then
                        card_is_scoring = true
                    end
                end

[daring fern]

In your SMODS.ObjectType

[violet gulch]

Can you send the file or SS with line numbers? from just this snip, there is an extra end but I'm assuming thats from something above.

[manic rune]

oh nevermind its already added

thats useful

[spice wadi]

What are you trying to do?
This might overlap with smth I'm planning to do

[manic rune]

adding a method for people to add their own relics calculate and stuff

[zealous mauve]

uhhh what did i do wrong here

[manic rune]

im literally hard coding my relics rn

[zealous mauve]

i am following a tutorial on youtube

[rare torrent]

wait in the booster pack code or the actual SMODS.ObjectType code?

[manic rune]

you need an end

[hard flume]

Hiiii

[manic rune]

calculate = function(self,card,context)

end,

[spice wadi]

I remember looking at the code and seeing this
And thinking "okay if I'm doing this I'm adding a calculate function"

[manic rune]

hi carrot

[violet gulch]

All your logic with context needs to be within the calculate function

[daring fern]

In the SMODS.ObjectType code.

[zealous mauve]

ok

[spice wadi]

Quite literally you're missing an end to mark the end of the function, you should probably learn LUA syntax if you haven't already

[manic rune]

yeah no currently my relics work by hooking to SMODS.calculate_context

and its extremely janky imo, so i will change how it works

-# which might take a couple of days for me to figure out the optimal approach (and because im lazy)

[spice wadi]

💀 good idea

[daring fern]

‎

[spice wadi]

So real
I'm gonna lock in on my mod tonight to get a stable release out 🔥🔥🔥

[copper thorn]

mmmhhhhh

[manic rune]

quantum enhancements are barely documented, and not many people use it so i kinda doubt anyone knows how to properly use them asides from eremel, aure and other people 🤔

[rare torrent]

like this?

[manic rune]

i think eremel would be happy to help you out
-# then i will ask you about it later :3

[daring fern]

Does your key of your joker have _joker at the end?

[rare torrent]

no

[daring fern]

Then remove it and put j_ at the start.

[violet gulch]

The Joker specifically doesn't crash on mine like this.

[rare torrent]

and keep the mod id?

[manic rune]

this is where i suggest that you download lua extension

[daring fern]

No, it should be the mod prefix not the mod id.

[manic rune]

:3

[copper thorn]

what do you mean ?

[rare torrent]

oh

[copper thorn]

i have it (i think)

[manic rune]

really? it should tell you if you are missing a syntax, end or whatever

did you download the one by sumneko

[daring fern]

Even if I did use them correctly, do they allow multiple of the same enhancement?

[violet gulch]

^+1 Your issues have been language syntax.

[hard flume]

I'm gonna work on my mod todah

[rare torrent]

it's still crashing

[copper thorn]

idk, i don't think so and i can't find it T-T

[manic rune]

🤔 i think it shouldnt affect anything, the calculate of the main enhancement should be different from the calculate of enhancements added by quantum enhancements i think

[daring fern]

No, what I mean is, does it allows multiple of the same enhancement to be added by quantum enhancements?

[copper thorn]

i searched it and didn't find ima try to find it

[manic rune]

oh

[violet gulch]

Meaning I fixed the syntax in the joker object in the file I sent back. Testing it with my game, the joker object did not crash.

[hard flume]

Are you using the right visual studio? Visual studio code and not just visual studio?

[copper thorn]

yeah i copied it thank you so much, i was about to crahs out it drove me insane

[copper thorn]

yeah

i re-searched for it and found it stf

wtf*

[violet gulch]

I see everyone using VS Code. Am I just a masochist for using Notepad++?

[manic rune]

after checking how SMODS.get_enhancements and SMODS.calculate_quantum_enhancements works, i think it doesnt. if multiple context.check_enhancement tries to give a card the same enhancement then it will still only have that enhancement once

-# i didnt ctrl + Z enough, dont mind that "use"

[copper thorn]

quick question how do i make the "cards into" not in C:attention ?

 "This Joker retriggers",
            "all scoring {C:attention}stone cards",
            "and transforms any",
            "{C:attention}non-scoring cards into {C:attention}stone cards"```

[manic rune]

you can use {} to stop {C:attention}

[violet gulch]

"{C:attention}non-scoring{} cards into {C:attention}stone cards{}"

[rare torrent]

i got it like this, but it's still crashing

[copper thorn]

i didn't know thanks

[daring fern]

So if I wanted that, would I have to copy that function and make some adjustments?

[cobalt iron]

how do I create a joker of a custom rarity?

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({rarity = "modprefix_raritykey"})

[manic rune]

yeah, primarily how SMODS.get_enhancements read and store the enhancements and how SMODS.calculate_quantum_enhancements read from it

[thorn basin]

So I applied both changes but now the problem is that the joker upgrades even when the played cards are not faces.
(Sorry for the late response)

[wintry solar]

What does your code look like?

[manic rune]

you are making it so its always upgraded even when you dont play any face cards, yes

[rare torrent]

does anybody know why this is crashing😭

[spice wadi]

sharing the error would be helpful

[cobalt iron]

for some reason this error appears when it's supposed to create the joker

[spice wadi]

also this might be a stupid question but is it possible to have conditional lovely patches?
like i can control whether a patch activates from elsewhere

[thorn basin]

oh true lol, imma change the if not passed condition

[manic rune]

not that i know any way to do that, no

[spice wadi]

😔

[spice wadi]

guess im going to have to write robust code in my patch instead

[manic rune]

thats crazy

😭

[wintry solar]

Not 100% sure on why that would be, my initial thoughts are that the deck cardarea is enabled so it’s checking every card in every context, could try adding some area restrictions to see if that improves (I think the problem is worse for wild cards fwiw because they effect poker hand evaluation, but I’d need to do some proper testing)

[thorn basin]

for some reason, now it doesn't upgrade when 2 different face cards scored.
(By different I mean they can have the same suit but different rank or same rank but different suit)

[daring fern]

The deck card area is not enabled and I changed it to steel and it was the same.

[merry raven]

local new_card = Card(G.hand.T.x, G.hand.T.y - 6, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, {[suit value], [rank value]}, enhancement)

I want to create a new card through my Joker with a random enhancement, but what values should I put in [suit value] and [rank value] if I just want a random suit and rank?

If I do something like this:

local suit = pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Suit.obj_buffer, pseudoseed('suit'))
local rank = pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Rank.obj_buffer, pseudoseed('rank'))
local new_card = Card(G.hand.T.x, G.hand.T.y - 5, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, {suit=suit, value=rank}, enhancement)

Then if I reload the game with the debug tool by pressing L, the suit and rank will visually disappear

[cobalt iron]

I am using SMODS.add_card() to add a joker of a custom rarity, but it gives me this error when it's supposed to create the joker

[manic rune]

did you try adding type = "Joker" in there too?

[cobalt iron]

it gives me the same error, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong

[manic rune]

mm, can you show me the code?

[thorn basin]

@daring fern do you know how can I fix this?

[manic rune]

...i mean, thats how you coded it, no?

[thorn basin]

yeah

[manic rune]

:3

i dont see whats wrong here

oh wait, i see your effect on the comment above now

[thorn basin]

(By different I mean they can have the same suit but different rank or same rank but different suit)

[cobalt iron]

I changed a few things, it gives me another error, though

            if G.GAME.blind.boss then
                SMODS.add_card(type = "Joker",{rarity = "speedx_exalted"}),
            end
        end

Don't tell me I have to use an event

[manic rune]

local faces = {}
local passed = false
for i,v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
  if #context.scoring_hand >= 2 then
    if v:is_face() then
      if i >= 2 and not faces[v:get_id()] then passed = true; break end
      if not faces[v:get_id()] then faces[v:get_id()] = true end
    end
  end
end

[manic rune]

oh wait, its set not type, sorry

and also, set = "Joker" should be inside that table too

[cobalt iron]

oh, okay

it works! thank you

[burnt apex]

unfotunatly did not worl :/

[burnt apex]

Hai everyone, still havent figured out this from last night

[manic rune]

try changing the context to context.after instead, since it seems you want the animations to happen after the scoring

oh, and also, trigger = "after", not trigger = after

[merry raven]

How do you check if a playing card (card in hand, not a Joker) has a sticker

[burnt apex]

Where exactly do I add context.after?

[manic rune]

replace this with context.after

[rare torrent]

Is it possible to save the amount of lost run's as variable? and if so how?

[wintry solar]

Remove the blocking and block able stuff too

[burnt apex]

adding blockable false was the only way i got it to do both flips :/

[burnt apex]

there was no change when adding context.after, and the only change after removing the blockable text is that it triggers during discard again

[thorn basin]

oh my god IT WORKS NOW THANK YOU!
do you mind explaining me how it actually works?
just for curiosity and wanting to learn more about the balatro lua commands.
if not it's ok.

[manic rune]

v:get_id() returns the id of the card

J is 11, Q is 12, K is 13, A is 14 for instance

[thorn basin]

alright

thank you again!

[burnt apex]

just checked and it doesn't matter what event has the blockable = false, it functions the same ethier way

I don't know why its ignoring context

[merry raven]

How do I add an effect immediately when a blind starts

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        -- At the start of each blind, apply Catatonic to a random card
        if context.setting_blind then
            -- Find eligible cards (not already Catatonic)
            local eligible = {}
            for _, handCard in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                if not handCard.ability.fm_catatonic then
                    table.insert(eligible, handCard)
                end
            end
            if #eligible > 0 then
                local target = eligible[math.random(#eligible)]
                SMODS.calculate_effect({
                    message = "Decimated!",
                    sound = "fm_resonance_fragment",
                    colour = G.C.BLACK
                }, target)
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        target:juice_up()
                        SMODS.Stickers.fm_catatonic:apply(target, true)
                        return true
                    end
                }))
            end
        end
...

Even with setting_blind, currently I have to play a hand before this custom sticker gets applied, I want to make it so that the sticker is applied immediately when the blind begins

[burnt apex]

since it should only be able to trigger after the scoring

[wintry solar]

What currently happens?

[wintry solar]

This video doesn’t work on mobile

[burnt apex]

ah

the kings/jacks get played, flip, get scored, flip to show queens and then discard

it should be play, score, flip, flip, discard

[manic rune]

weird, context.after shouldnt make the animation play before the scoring

[burnt apex]

without the blockable false however they flip while being discarded

[burnt apex]

yeah, and its only one of them so I think making it not blockable somehow lets it ignore context?

[manic rune]

setting blockable to false would make it run regardless of other events that should be run before it

[wintry solar]

Have you tried removing all the blocking things?

You generally don’t need them at all

[manic rune]

^

[burnt apex]

^

i did remove the redundant blocking ones

[wintry solar]

Can you remove them and show the new code?

[wintry solar]

after needs to be a string not a variable

[burnt apex]

this though, makes the card flips happen while they are discarded

[wintry solar]

And you need delay = 0.5 in both

[merry raven]

Still need some insights here

[wintry solar]

I also think your ordering is probably not what you intend, this will flip the first card, change it, then flip it back, then repeat for each other card

[unkempt rover]

just update smods

[burnt apex]

ok so it half functions properly now, they have stopped showing the back of the card

so they just flip over to show a queen

whitch is the behavior when it was missing the second card flip event

[manic rune]

thats odd, context.setting_blind should run at the beginning of the blind

can you try removing the event?

🤔

and also, i would use pseudorandom_element instead of math.random

unless you want your players to be able to reenter the run until that effect hits the card they want

[wintry solar]

What isn’t working?

[burnt apex]

the cards should be doing score, flip to show back, flip to show queen. Its actually doing score, flip to show queen

it should show the back like death/strength do

current code

[wintry solar]

They just instantly flip back over, right?

[obtuse silo]

how would i create the text effect that Misprint has for something with an existing loc_txt?

[burnt apex]

yes, just checked on game speed 1 and they do flip to show the back

its just super fast

[burnt quartz]

How I can add a seal label from a localization file?

[wintry solar]

It’s because you queue the events to flip then unflip, rather than flip all then unflip all

Or increase the delay in the second event

[burnt apex]

Ive managed to fix it by just increasing the delay for event 2

just need to find the spot where its not too slow now

thanks for all the help!

[thorn basin]

oh wait, just tested it some times and it works but not when the played hands have the same rank but different suit.
is there a way to make the if conditions to check also that if two or more cards have the same rank but different suits?

[manic rune]

...i mean, you coded it like that so i just fixed your code

🥀

yeah sure, one sec

[thorn basin]

forgot to add to the comment the second requirement

[manic rune]

local faces = {}
local suits = {}
local passed = false
for i,v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
  if #context.scoring_hand >= 2 then
    if v:is_face() then
      if i >= 2 and not faces[v:get_id()] then passed = true; break end
      if not faces[v:get_id()] then faces[v:get_id()] = true end

      if i >= 2 then
        local unique_suit = true
        for suit,_ in pairs(suits) do
          if v:is_suit(suit) then unique_suit = false; break end
        end
        if unique_suit then passed = true; break end
      end
      if not suits[v.base.suit] then suits[v.base.suit] = true end
    end
  end
end

probably this?

-# i apologize for the indentation, i typed it on discord lol

[zealous mauve]

hey can anyone tell me where i can find all of the "codes" (idk what to call them) like the default joker is j_joker

[burnt quartz]

The var label goes into the localization file?

[burnt quartz]

Vainilla remade has the joker's key if you want a refer

[snow vale]

what's wrong in here?

[zealous mauve]

ah yeah i have the mod already thanks

[burnt quartz]

Do you need more help?

[thorn basin]

it works pretty well now, thank you so much!!!

[zealous mauve]

not rn

but thank you

[burnt quartz]

Was that enough?

[burnt quartz]

what is the error?

i mean, what is wrong?

[snow vale]

if i discard 1 face card, it adds 5, if i discard 2, it adds 20, instead of 10, if i discard 1 face card an 1 number card, it adds 10

[burnt quartz]

mmm maybe is validating if atleast one is a face card and then add the number of discarted cards time 5

[snow vale]

hmm

not sure

[burnt quartz]

that is the entire calc function?

[snow vale]

the other part is simply the return of joker_main

nothing else

[daring heron]

not my mod but how would i make this be able to also copy negative edition?

[wintry solar]

Delete the bit about editions

[daring heron]

do i also replace it with another "nil" or no?

nvm i got it

thanks 👍

[snow vale]

then how do i fix my error?

[echo aurora]

what effect do you want it to do?

[snow vale]

give mult for every discarded face card

this is the code

[formal parrot]

Context.full_hand

Is incorrect

You need the context for discard cards I believe

[snow vale]

G.hand.highlighted?

oh

[formal parrot]

Nope thats selected cards

[snow vale]

yeah, but ill discard selected cards

[formal parrot]

Check castle’s code

[snow vale]

also it only bugs if i discard a face card

[formal parrot]

In vanilla remade

Should be the same

[snow vale]

ok

[formal parrot]

Change the test for suit to face cards and it should work

[snow vale]

ok it works thanks

[finite onyx]

Hello, does anyone know how to stop the sound if it is still playing in the function (if context.end_of_round)

[snow vale]

this was the code :P

thought it was somewhat harder

[formal parrot]

Lol

I didnt think of other hand

Myself

[snow vale]

dw

[formal parrot]

No idea

You need to add a trigger for stop i believe

[daring heron]

hmm, this seems to only copy the first 5 joker slots, and not grow exponentially as it should

[finite onyx]

mhhh i tried G.SOUND:stop() not work i look into SMODs github sound there no explained how to stop the sound

until the sound duration runs out on its own

[formal parrot]

I have no idea honestly i didnt add custom sounds before

[finite onyx]

i see

[quiet bear]

is this the chat for developing mods and community help about them?

[snow vale]

somehow

and modding chat is for talking abt your results or talking abt any other mod in general

[quiet bear]

uhh how do you set the edition of a card? Im just starting out at modding

[wintry solar]

card:set_edition('editionkey')

[quiet bear]

is editionkey like m_stone?

like it is in other parts of the code?

oh oops i meant modification sorry

how do

[formal parrot]

Thats enhancement

[wild escarp]

How could I create tags based on their position in the collection? Trying to kind of make ace equilibrium from cryptid for tags.

[wintry solar]

an enhancement would be card:set_ability('key')

[quiet bear]

oh, thank you.

[snow vale]

wait nvm

[quiet bear]

uhh it crashed and returned "attempted to index local 'center' [a nil value]
i used it like card:set_ability(gold)

it is supposed to be ('gold') ?

[wild escarp]

You'll want to use'm_gold'

[quiet bear]

thanks.

[formal parrot]

m_ for enhancement

e_

for editions

[snow vale]

how can i add myself chips without going through scoring process?

[manic rune]

change G.GAME.chips

[snow vale]

ok

[formal parrot]

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[quiet bear]

did you know, when you replace a joker's enhancement, it just turns into that card?

news to me

[snow vale]

that card

[quiet bear]

?

[snow vale]

i mean

[quiet bear]

oh i see

yeah

[floral narwhal]

Hi

[quiet bear]

where are the values for the 'poll_edition' variables stored?

[floral narwhal]

did you remmember that "black market" i wanted to add? now im in trouble with it :when i click on next in shop it goes to select blind and do nothing

[nova finch]

how would I make a joker name that would randomly switch between a set of names?

[spice wadi]

out of interest where did you find the "Lovely.Hooks" stuff
not sure if i can help btw

[floral narwhal]

i was searching on internet i dont rememmber where was it

[spice wadi]

if you ever find it again lmk

if you remember ofc

[floral narwhal]

Sure! im searching for it

ah... i asked where is Lovely.Hooks.on from gpt but it said:it not used officially in anywhere!

[thorn furnace]

bump

[daring heron]

does anyone know?

[exotic imp]

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

[gilded blaze]

for some damn reason context.individual fails to work here

like wtf

it's not even printing anything

[quiet bear]

hey i'm quite new at lua, how do variables work? i can see that 'self' is used when adressing an item but I dont really know how to use them. i want to turn self.ability.name into a list...

[gilded blaze]

take a look at smods API

[quiet bear]

ok

[gilded blaze]

also why would you want self.ability.name to be a list
it stores the object name (or key if not specified) for convenient use in English when you want to refer to it, although it's not recommended

[mossy helm]

good day good people!
How exactly do you make a starting deck? I couldn't find info about it in the API documentation that wasn't outdated

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/backs.lua

[gilded blaze]

doesn't look outdated to me

you can still take a look at it, as well as some other mods that add decks

[gilded blaze]

😭

[mossy helm]

thank you guys!

[red flower]

is this a joker?

[red flower]

can you elaborate?

[gilded blaze]

yea, gain +4 chips every card scored, that's it

[exotic imp]

I want it to increase by 1 hand size for each joker that has anime = true in config and yet it retriggers each round and increases at the end of each round instead of just when a new joker is addes with that config

[summer shore]

how can i add mult when a consumeable is used?

[red flower]

context.cardarea instead of area

[summer shore]

a tarot has the calculate() function but it doesn't add the mult

[gilded blaze]

💀

[red flower]

well modify_hand is called each hand

[gilded blaze]

I love it when my brain cells confuse context.cardarea with context.area

[red flower]

what is the code

[spice wadi]

can you explain this

[gilded blaze]

do you want to add mult on use or add mult on keeping it in consumable slot

[spice wadi]

like what is the goal

[exotic imp]

then what should I use to make it only when jokers where anime = true are added?

[red flower]

context.card_added

[modern kindle]

Good schmorning chat

[red flower]

hii

[modern kindle]

How's my goat N

[modern kindle]

Still sickly

Sadness

I must cure you

[red flower]

that sounds scary

[modern kindle]

A cure can sometimes be scary..but necessary

[nova eagle]

Is it possible to create a joker, and then destroy that same joker at the end of the round without using perishable debuffs?

[summer shore]

by using the consumeable the current mult increases by 100

    key = 'spritz',
    set = 'Tarot',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Spritz',
        text = {
            "Add {C:mult}+100{} Mult to your score"
        }
    },
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 10,
    atlas = 'spritzAtlas',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    consumeable = true,
    use = function (self, card, area, copier)
        --add 100 mult to current hand
    end,
    can_use = function(self, card)
        return true
    end
}```

[gilded blaze]

you mean it's a one-time thing?

use and give +100 mult to next hand

[summer shore]

yeah

[pulsar furnace]

Can you add shaders to a deck?

[summer shore]

idk if it is possible

[gilded blaze]

yep, use SMODS.DrawStep

[chrome widget]

Hi dilly!!!

[summer shore]

does the game have a var for mult that i can change?

[modern kindle]

hiiii

how are you bestie

i hope its a wonderful time

[stiff quiver]

how can i change a cards soul_pos value? i did this but it isnt updating unless i leave the run lua if card.ability.extra.mult > 0 and card.ability.extra.mult <= 15 then card.config.center.soul_pos = {x = 1, y = 2} end

[mossy helm]

hey so, just to make sure, this is how I would do if I wanted my deck to start with a joker right?

thanks in advance

[burnt quartz]

The label must be defined in the localization file?

[nova finch]

does anyone know how I could do this?? I want the name of the joker to randomly switch between a set of like 5 different names over time kinda like how misprint's description does but with names

[mossy helm]

isn't that in the mod.json? I'm no expert tho

[red flower]

you would need to edit the name UI using generate_ui

[red flower]

j_modprefix_key but yes

[mossy helm]

inside the jokers brackets?

[red flower]

yes

[mossy helm]

alright, thank you!

wooooo!

wait, I kinda wanna make the joker eternal, any way I could do that?

[shell timber]

look at blasphemous deck morefluff

[mossy helm]

is that from a mod? Which one?

🧠

[copper thorn]

you're still here ?

sᴏʀʀʏ ɪғ ɪᴛ ᴀɴɴᴏʏs ʏᴏᴜ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇ ᴘɪɴɢᴇᴅ

[red flower]

it's a function that is called when the description tooltip is generated, it's kinda advanced so it's hard to explain how to use it without an example

[nova finch]

hold on i think i figured it out

i need to test tho

[wild escarp]

How can I have a joker give the tags in order, two at a time when the blind is selected?

[stiff quiver]

how can i update the art for a joker? I want to change its soul_pos in calculation but it only upates after going to the main menu

[copper thorn]

wdym ?

[gilded blaze]

I can't seem to trace what you're trying to do starting from if card_is_scoring == false

therefore can't suggest a way to fix all syntax errors

[copper thorn]

like the grug that i am, i have a joker that transforms non-scoring cards into stone cards, which i wanted too on this joker, and copied it checked to see if it was ok and i can't seem to find the rror here

[stiff quiver]

if the joker has mult between 0 and 15 i want it to replace its soul_pos with another lua if card.ability.extra.mult > 0 and card.ability.extra.mult <= 15 then card.config.center.soul_pos = {x = 1, y = 2} -- previously soul_pos = nil end

[faint yacht]

card.children.floating_sprite:set_sprite_pos({x = 1, y = 2})

[thorn furnace]

How would I go about making a window pop up on screen above everything else when the game starts?

[stiff quiver]

thanks!

[stiff quiver]

got this crash with that, was i supposed to replace that with something?

[gilded blaze]

you don't have to check for unscored cards manually
smods already provided a way to do so, you just have to include:

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = {
    cardareas = {
        unscored = true,
    },
}

in your main file

and switch context.cardarea check to "unscored" where applicable

[copper thorn]

i don't think it answers my question

[faint yacht]

That implies there is no floating "soul" sprite... did you try spawning in a fresh one?

[nova finch]

the horses are plentiful

[snow vale]

how can i make a joker add +1 joker slot while you have it? It's not an edition, just a joker

[red flower]

it's not an optional feature anymore

[summer shore]

i was trying to make a Tarot that added mult to your score and ended up making a consumeable that when used, it stores 100 mult on a custom joker.
The mult is consumed when an hand is played.

[gilded blaze]

is it now unnecessary to declare it inside SMODS.current_mod.optional_features

[red flower]

yes

[gilded blaze]

nice

[pulsar furnace]

someone help me how do i give parameters to the :draw_shader()?

[spice wadi]

if im using G.FUNCS.overlay_menu, how can i either queue multiple menus or detect when one has been closed? do i need to hook G.FUNCS.exit_overlay_menu or is there a better way

its set as nil at the begining, changing that would fix right?

[snow vale]

How can I add tags based on their position in the collection?

[snow vale]

it happens when i try to unlock using debugger my 2 newest added cards

[pulsar furnace]

add end, below loc_vars?

oops

[copper thorn]

i changed the position of the if, and added an end, it doesn't crash anymore :)

[snow vale]

what could be wrong here

i hate these kinds of crashes

[copper thorn]

quick question, can't I get the name to be bigger ?

[snow vale]

{S:2}

or any number above 1

[copper thorn]

thx

[faint yacht]

Safe to check for it if is exists first.

[red flower]

i think it might not be possible without a patch

[copper thorn]

did not work 😢

[copper thorn]

fuck i wanted the whole name :(

[snow vale]

I GOT SOME INFO

YES

[red flower]

maybe split it into multiple lines?

[snow vale]

now what's the error

[red flower]

infinite loop

[snow vale]

wait where?

[red flower]

idk

what's the code

[copper thorn]

ima try

[red flower]

you will need the very latest smods if you don't have it

[copper thorn]

i have it ofc

[red flower]

what happens if you remove the info_queues

[snow vale]

ill see

[copper thorn]

it did ot register the second half but i find it somechat funnier

[snow vale]

works

😭

[red flower]

does fountain reference kris

[stiff quiver]

i added it and it worked, thanks for the help!

does anybody know why my booster pack is crashing when openning it?

do you guys know if its possible to make a joker that makes all chips turn to mult

[copper thorn]

nvm i got it

[thorn furnace]

How do I access metadata from a mod's json file

[daring fern]

SMODS.Mods["modid"] I think.

[thorn furnace]

so I would just do like
SMODS.Mods["modid"].name for example?

[burnt apex]

How do i have text get updated when oops! all sixes is present? Like with vanila jokers that have chances

[daring fern]

I think so.

[thorn furnace]

okii
thanks :3

Put G.GAME.probabilities.normal into loc_vars

[fathom valve]

Can someone help me format a lovely patch to replace things? I think I did it wrong and midunderstood the instructions

[burnt apex]

The example of using loc_vars is a bit unclear, at least how i read it, how does it determine what variable its assinging value too?

[daring fern]

If you want to replace a specific thing and not a specific line, you need to use regex patches I think.

[gaunt thistle]

what are you trying to accomplish? your pattern patches are pretty thick so I would recommend a different approach

regex being one of them, or making your changes at runtime in lua instead of as a patch

[fathom valve]

I'm pretty sure they're specific lines being replaced, I'm trying to make the Hidden Aces mod a lovely file instead of an exe replacer

[gaunt thistle]

are you using smods?

[fathom valve]

I have smods and lovely?

[gaunt thistle]

but are you using smods to develop your mod?

[fathom valve]

I'm using notepad ++ and winging it

[gaunt thistle]

ah

well props for going about it the hard way haha

[fathom valve]

DLASKFHLSADKHF thats the hard way???

[gaunt thistle]

if you're committed to doing everything with lovely then do what I recommended

either switch over to regex, find some other way to simplify your patterns / patches, or change the necessary values at runtime

[gaunt thistle]

I mean I don't know what your mod is about but it would probably be easier with smods

pure lovely is a lot more difficult in terms of complexity and also compat with other mods

[fathom valve]

It's just changing base values of cards/packs/tarots/etc\

[gaunt thistle]

and you'll be having a lot of compatibility issues with the amount of "at" patches you have

[copper thorn]

bump

[burnt apex]

ok if i understand properly, it just asigns each variable a value in descending order, so #1# just is given the first entry in loc_vars

[daring fern]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == "unscored" then
    context.other_card:set_ability("m_stone")

[burnt apex]

Ok, last thing and then my joker is fully functional, how do i make it actually not compatible with blueprint?

[daring fern]

and not context.blueprint

[daring fern]

Move it out of the context.before check.

[burnt apex]

at the end of my calculate stuff? or somewhere else

[daring fern]

Where you don't want blueprint to do anything.

[burnt apex]

ah ok

[copper thorn]

like this ?

[daring fern]

Yes, but please fix that formatting.

[copper thorn]

i know, i know, im used to it x)

now it works but doesn't do the flip animation

[daring fern]

Do you want the stone cards to be stone in scoring?

[copper thorn]

no only to turn into stone cards

ima try something

if it doesn't work i'll keep your solution, thanks for it !

[hidden notch]

How do I get the localised Edition for my Description?
-# For Context: The Edition Changes every round

[daring fern]

G.localization.descriptions.Edition[card.ability.extra.edition.key].name

[copper thorn]

so ikept your solution but it doesn't flip it gets turnd into stone before being in the played card area

but i'll see if i can fix it tomorrow ima go eepy sleepy now

[hidden notch]

Thank you!! You are truly the greatest 🙏

[daring fern]

How does one change what the suit says on a playing card?

For example Ace of Hearts/Spades/Clubs?

[tall jewel]

How would I get a random value tied to the run's random state?

if it exists

if not dw

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[tall jewel]

like, predictable pack opening

where reset won't change it

[daring fern]

You're trying to get a random value without changing future random values?

[tall jewel]

moreso trying to get predictable random values tied to the seed of the run

I don't want to roll my own random implementation just for what im trying to do

[daring fern]

I don't think that is possible, but I have seen things in mods where you can see inside a booster pack I think.

[hidden notch]

I know that the ISAT/"In Stars and Time" Mod changed the Names via loc-file,
you could also try to edit/add stuff to G.P_CARDS ("self.P_CARDS" in game.lua).
Otherwise I'm clueless

[tall jewel]

Well, seperate question, how would I create_card using a custom pool where all elements of the pool have omit = true

every method I've tried has resulted in the default value

SMODS.ObjectType {
    key="FishingRods",
    rarities={
        {
            key='Common',
            rate=0.7,
        },
        {
            key='Uncommon',
            rate=0.4,
        },
        {
            key='Rare',
            rate=0.05,
        },
        {
            key='Legendary',
            rate=0.0005,
        },
    },
}

FishingMod.FishingRod = SMODS.Joker:extend{
    omit = true,
    can_sell = true,
    pools = { ["FishingRods"] = true, FishingPack=true, Joker=false},
...

when using create_card("FishingRods", ...) it always results in the default value

[snow vale]

wdym? (sry for late answ, i was eating)

[tall jewel]

screw it im setting it to a new set type

[tough temple]

how can i halve the minimum score for the round?

using a consumable

[worthy stirrup]

Does anyone have any idea how I could have this still change in the collection?

    update = function(self, card, dt)
        -- Store animation state in self
        self._counter = self._counter or 0
        self._timer = (self._timer or 0) + dt

        -- Update animation every 0.05 seconds
        if self._timer >= 0.5 then
            self._timer = self._timer - 0.5
            self._counter = (self._counter + 1) % 8
            self.pos.x = self._counter -- Update self's position directly
        end
    end
}

[daring fern]

You mean the required score?

[daring fern]

You have to hook Game:update(dt)

[tough temple]

if thats what its called yea

[worthy stirrup]

i always forget, how do you hook to that?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.blind.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips / 2

[tough temple]

thanks man

[daring fern]

local oldgameupdate = Game.update
function Game:update(dt)
    local g = oldgameupdate(self, dt)
    return g
end

[worthy stirrup]

oh

thank you

[red flower]

does the fountain joker also have kris in the info_queue

[snow vale]

wait do i need to do so?

cuz i dont

[red flower]

no it's the opposite

[snow vale]

oh

then i didnt

but i did have the dark fountain inside the dark fountain

somehow

[red flower]

oh ok

[snow vale]

oh it works now

[faint yacht]

G.GAME.blind.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips/2 when in blind.

[worthy stirrup]

Just to be sure, does G have to be returned or is that just an example?

[daring fern]

Probably not but I always do that to make sure.

[worthy stirrup]

okay, just wanted to check, thanks

[snow vale]

how can i make a joker unsellable?

[worthy stirrup]

should i be ingnoring these errors?

[daring fern]

Did you put this in the joker?

[daring fern]

Hook G.FUNCS.can_sell_card

[worthy stirrup]

I had it replace the update function in the joker

[daring fern]

No, you need to put it outside the joker.

oh, oops

ive got the hook in my code, outside of the jokers but dont know what to do with them

Perhaps look at this for reference https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1341041293119459449 ?

can't i just replace the game's sprites

[daring fern]

No.

Don't do that.

[gaunt thistle]

I mean yes, but it's not recommended

and you can't redistribute your changes

so use malverk

[worthy stirrup]

Double Checking, if im calling for my own joker, would i call for j_prefix_key?

[daring fern]

I think so.

[worthy stirrup]

Thank you

[tribal umbra]

shiiit ok

not even by verifying gamefiles?

[gaunt thistle]

no like you can't share your changes with other people

[snow vale]

ok so how do i hook that specific thing? like i get it but idk how to make it work

[gaunt thistle]

you can uninstall it by verifying your game files

[daring fern]

My mistake I meant hook Card:can_sell_card(context)

[daring fern]

local oldcansellcard = Card.can_sell_card
function Card:can_sell_card(context)
    local g = oldcansellcard(self, context)
    if (G.play and #G.play.cards > 0) or
        (G.CONTROLLER.locked) or 
        (G.GAME.STOP_USE and G.GAME.STOP_USE > 0)
    then return false end
    if self.config.center.key == "j_modprefix_key" then return false end
    return g
end

[snow vale]

o h

i think i now understand how hooking works

ty

[tight notch]

im trying to make a joker that makes cards played this ante give +10 mult when scored, but for some reason it triggeres on every card

[quiet bear]

if i have a list, how would i check if a specific item is in it? would this work?

i = 1,100
list = {'item', 'item', 'item'}
variable1 = list[i]
if variable2 == variable1 then
do the thing
end

[daring fern]

You need to define a table.contains function.

[snow vale]

i use ts idk if it works (well yeah it does then)

function table.contains(table, element)
    if table and type(table) == "table" then
        for _, value in pairs(table) do
            if value == element then
                return true
            end
        end
        return false
    end
end```

[quiet bear]

thank you both!

[daring fern]

Also no, because you're checking 1100 times and not the length of the table.

[snow vale]

thank somethingcom, he gave me that code lmao

[hasty mist]

why does fmult not trigger?

[daring fern]

You need to do fmult = number

SMODS.calculate_effect is just a return function but it doesn't return.

Also you should just do return {fmult = number}

[snow vale]

what context do i use if i want something to happen when i play hand?

[daring fern]

When you press play or before hand scores or before cards score?

[snow vale]

when you press play

mainly, when hands are used

[daring fern]

context.press_play

[snow vale]

ok

How do I add another tab in collections?

[hidden sable]

how can i change the titles texture using a mod

[daring fern]

In the Other tab or directly in the collection?

[pulsar furnace]

other its ok

[daring fern]

You make an atlas with the key balatro and set raw_key = true

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-functions#modcustom_collection_tabs

[hidden sable]

balatro key is the key used for the title?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hidden sable]

any chance you know the pixel dimensions of the texture

[daring fern]

333x216

[hidden sable]

thanks

one final question, where can i find the raw texture for the title

so i can edit it

[daring fern]

resources/textures in the source code.

[hidden sable]

thanks

crash log btw

Could someone help me out with this joker? I'm trying to (kind of) make ace equilibrium for cryptid, except it creates tags on blind selection and gets destroyed after the last one. Trying to implement cryptid code is a nightmare though, and I've got this, which does nothing. Anyone smarter than me willing to help?

[daring fern]

Change context.pre_discard to context.discard and change G.hand.highlighted to context.full_hand and change other_card to context.other_card and change for i in #full_hand do to for i=1, #context.full_hand do

Experiencing a bit of a weird crash messing with UI stuff
(Image 1 is the error, images 2 and 3 are the code snippet)
It's only my second time trying to do UI stuff so I probably messed something up somewhere but the error is particularly unhelpful it seems

[red flower]

can you send more of the error

[daring fern]

I think func should be a string of the G.FUNCS[functionname] not a function.

oh

[worthy stirrup]

How would i change the cards Edition?

        if context.discard then
            print("Test")

            for i=1, #context.full_hand do

            end
        end

so I would just define like
G.FUNCS.outcome_a or something?

other_card:set_edition(poll_edition('aura', nil, true, true))

[daring fern]

[burnt apex]

[worthy stirrup]

to change the suit, is it card.suit = "Spades"

[red flower]

SMODS.change_base

[worthy stirrup]

oh

i didnt know they had that

[daring fern]

No, it's SMODS.change_base(card, "Spades")

[thorn furnace]

now i just have to figure out how to actually space things like a human being

oh

wha
nothing is even called there

[worthy stirrup]

How do i set a cards enhacement?

[thorn furnace]

card:set_ability()

[worthy stirrup]

ohh

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.discard then
            print("Test")
            full_hand = context.full_hand
            for i=1, #context.full_hand do
                context.other_card = full_hand[i]
                other_card = context.other_card
                other_card:set_edition(poll_edition('Jevil', nil, true, true))
                other_card:set_seal(SMODS.poll_seal('Jevil', nil, true, true))
                other_card:set_ability(SMODS.poll_enhancement('Jevil', nil, true, true))
                SMODS.change_base(other_card, "Spades")
            end
        end
    end,

It doesnt crash every time but only occasionally

[daring fern]

SMODS.poll_enhancement takes a table.

Aswell as SMODS.poll_seal

[worthy stirrup]

wait sorry, what should i be giving it, in the wiki it says it defaults to all avalible enhacments and seals

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to give it a table.

[vast night]

hey quick q. to set a generated tarot to wheel of fortune do i need to do _card:set_ability('t_wheel_of_fortune')?

[daring fern]

No, it would be card:set_ability("c_wheel_of_fortune")

[vast night]

oooh

thx

[worthy stirrup]

so wait, would i just slap in {} for it then?

                other_card:set_ability(SMODS.poll_enhancement({'Jevil', nil, true, true}))

[daring fern]

No, it would be SMODS.poll_enhancement({key = "Jevil", guaranteed = true})

[worthy stirrup]

ohh

thank you so much for your time, i know im probably being annoying

[harsh raft]

Anyone know the code name for the hierophant I'm getting this error
INFO - [G] Error: Center not found for c_hierophant

[red flower]

i think the original has a typo i'd recommend ctrl+f-ing the localization files

[daring fern]

It's c_heirophant

[harsh raft]

ok thx

[daring fern]

Is there a way to stop rescoring from causing an infinite loop?

[formal parrot]

So chat

I used draw step to draw shaders on all my cards and now i wanna remove them

How

[red flower]

add an if condition to the step

[formal parrot]

How ?

I remove the whole function and they still have the shader lmao

[red flower]

i have this one that only draws a shader when it meets a condition and stops if not

[exotic imp]

what config do I need to set everything negative?

[daring fern]

I ask because there are 2 seals that cause a stack overflow when together.

[thorn furnace]

Try adding an extra break condition to the seals

[daring fern]

They are not my seals.

[thorn furnace]

O

[exotic imp]

what config do I need to set all jokers to negative?

[daring fern]

You mean like Cryptids negative deck?

[exotic imp]

yes

[daring fern]

What Cryptid does is it modifies create_card

[exotic imp]

so it just constantly creates cards that have negative not just force applying negative to cards?

[daring fern]

No, it changes create_card so that when a card is created it becomes negative.

[exotic imp]

oh

[wild escarp]

How would I make a joker add a joker with a sticker and edition?

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({set = "Joker", stickers = {"modprefix_key"}, edition = "e_modprefix_key"})

[daring fern]

Something like: ```lua
local oldcreatecard = create_card
function create_card(_type, area, legendary, _rarity, skip_materialize, soulable, forced_key, key_append)
local g = oldcreatecard(_type, area, legendary, _rarity, skip_materialize, soulable, forced_key, key_append)
g:set_edition("e_negative", true, true)
return g
end

[exotic imp]

thank you

[rugged pier]

if context.setting_blind then
            card_params = {
              key = "j_artb_mitosis",
              set = "Joker",
              area = G.jokers,
              edition = "e_negative"
            }
            SMODS.create_card(card_params)
        end 

what am i doing wrong here

its creating the card but its

not doing anything

its not activating

[maiden phoenix]

replace create_card by add_card

[rugged pier]

tysm

what is create card for then?

[maiden phoenix]

If you want to do things to it before adding it

for some reasons 🤷

[rugged pier]

interesting lol

[maiden phoenix]

add_card uses create_card itself so maybe thats why

[red flower]

i use create_card sometimes for UI stuff

[rugged pier]

game just crashes

[maiden phoenix]

isn't fake_card a thing?

[rugged pier]

like no crash log

just "not responding"

if context.setting_blind then
            card_params = {
              key = "j_artb_mitosis",
              set = "Joker",
              area = G.jokers,
              edition = "e_negative"
            }
            SMODS.add_card(card_params)
        end 

[red flower]

is it adding itself

[rugged pier]

yes

[red flower]

well,

[rugged pier]

oh so

every joker its creating

is adding itself

[red flower]

yes

[rugged pier]

oh boy

i have a hacky fix for this

[red flower]

just add a flag to the card

[rugged pier]

that wouldnt help right, because those new jokers would still run it

[red flower]

if context.setting_blind then
  if not card.added_by_mitosis then
    local other_card = SMODS.add_card(...)
    other_card.added_by_mitosis = true
  end
  card.added_by_mitosis = nil
end 

like that i mean

[rugged pier]

hmm i see, let me try that

thank you

[daring fern]

I have solved this issue by doing multiple seals a different way, I still do not know what was causing this.

[signal lotus]

@pure salmon this doesnt work with blueprint why

[pure salmon]

unsure, haven't tested all my jokers with blueprint

[pulsar furnace]

I'm trying to create a collections tab but it crashes, I have no idea what's wrong

[formal parrot]

You have a nil node

[short girder]

little bit embarrassing lmao but how would i make a deck give mult during main eval

[faint yacht]

Decks can have calculate too.

[short girder]

oh shit fr?

thanks you

[pulsar furnace]

is there any template for collection ui?
