[tired kestrel]

Dude no

[thorn furnace]

sorry i didnt see this

uh

[spice wadi]

Huh 😭

[thorn furnace]

screenshots it is

[spice wadi]

I'm guessing the new line symbol makes it so the game doesn't actually know it's a new line?

So it doesn't push everything else down

[thorn furnace]

o

testing this functionality is so annoying because it deletes my directory every time it fails

[spice wadi]

Maybe disable that? 😭

[thorn furnace]

its part of the testing

[unborn bay]

oh yeah it might be newline

[idle plaza]

Discord converts indent characters into four spaces each, so your client can send a message thinking it's under the character limit, only to be blocked. That error message you see is a generic response trying to appear more specific than it really is.

[unborn bay]

the box handling that doesn't actually handle newlines

though of course the actual text displays it properly

[thorn furnace]

:/

[thorn furnace]

Ah

[minor magnet]

if i wanted a joker to activate only when all cards in a pack have been created, how would i go about doing that?

[spice wadi]

When I had to do similar for my mod, I just made a way to generate the overlay with dummy data using a keybind

[primal fossil]

thanks for the help. im in asia and am going to go get some sleep now but I definitely want to keep working on things and learning how to make stuff

[thorn furnace]

I mean I'm also testing if it actually installs the files correctly so it kinda has to delete the directory

[spice wadi]

Makes sense

I also had that issue

So I tested them separately

[echo aurora]

how do you add custom sounds?

[spice wadi]

SMODS.Sound, there's a page on the smods wiki for it

[snow vale]

that's good! you should totally keep getting experience

btw how can i know every joker that is currently in the game?

[wind steppe]

vanillaremade

[snow vale]

i mean

adding modded ones too

so i can choose a random one

[echo aurora]

will it play the entire sound? or can you adjust it?

[wind steppe]

you can't

theres too many mods

[idle plaza]

I'm relatively sure they just mean installed mods.

[snow vale]

oh so there's no way to know?

[wind steppe]

oh

[snow vale]

then ill limit it to some mods

[worthy stirrup]

Ive got this code, whenever I try to open my deck it gives me this crash

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.discard then
            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({key = "Jevil", guaranteed = true}))
                other_card:set_ability(SMODS.poll_enhancement({key = "Jevil", guaranteed = true}))
                SMODS.change_base(other_card, "Spades")
            end
        end
    end,

[daring fern]

G.P_CENTERS

[wind steppe]

uhhh you could just do create_card with set = "Joker" but thats biased for rarities

[snow vale]

will that give me every joker?

[wind steppe]

thats also boosters i think

[daring fern]

Yes, you just put all the jokers in a table from there.

[snow vale]

so i use G.P_CENTERS on my calculate, and inside it i put every joker i want to use?

[daring fern]

No, ```lua
local jokers = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
if v.set == "Joker" then
table.insert(jokers, v)
end
end

[snow vale]

oh ok

ty

[worthy stirrup]

bump

[manic rune]

if i have to guess its probably the key part

you might want to change key to type_key 🤔

[worthy stirrup]

ill try that

[spice wadi]

idk man read the wiki page

[worthy stirrup]

hm, nope same crash error

[manic rune]

mm

[spice wadi]

do you know which line is causing this error

[worthy stirrup]

let me check and see if its what i think

[spice wadi]

if not can you add some print functions after each one to check which function is causing taht

[manic rune]

yeah, i might need to see whatever line that is to make sure which is the error

[worthy stirrup]

wait, is set ablity how you set a cards enhacement?

[manic rune]

yes

[worthy stirrup]

okay, all the passes work, its reaching the end fine

weird, why is card sleeves coming up in the crash log

[runic jay]

How would one make a joker gain X Mult when a joker is sold?

[worthy stirrup]

let me check something

[worthy stirrup]

I would look at campfire's code

[worthy stirrup]

okay, card sleeve isnt causing it

wait, i think i know what could be causing it

let me check

got it

it was fucking cartomancer

[manic rune]

sob

[main minnow]

the Steamodded documentation mentions aSMODS.destroy_cards(cards) utility function, but when i try to call it the game crashes, and that function doesn't seem to exist in src/utils.lua

[worthy stirrup]

watch this

[main minnow]

so is the documentation wrong?

[red flower]

no, have you thought first that your version might be outdated?

[manic rune]

i think my discord might be fked

i cant watch ur vid

😭

[wind steppe]

mine keeps pausing to buffer

[worthy stirrup]

discarded cards enhacement animations play multible times

[runic jay]

I honestly couldn't find the code

[worthy stirrup]

let me see if i can make it a gif

[manic rune]

oh yeah, that might be because context.discard runs for every card thats discarded

[worthy stirrup]

oh.

[manic rune]

i think theres context.pre_discard? not sure if thats the right one

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/33448418dc9cc36256e1cbb9963a65b4d799577b/src/jokers.lua#L3095

[manic rune]

N' have you checked my function that checks for function that checks for even numbers 😊

[worthy stirrup]

let me try that rq

[red flower]

i wish i didn't

[worthy stirrup]

[manic rune]

great

[worthy stirrup]

crashes when i select a card

[manic rune]

wha

[worthy stirrup]

oh

i have two contexts

[manic rune]

😭

[worthy stirrup]

context.context

[manic rune]

lmao

[worthy stirrup]

IT WORKS

YAY

also heres the gif i promised

[manic rune]

:3 thats an image

[worthy stirrup]

just kidding i guess, it aint moving

[manic rune]

thats a freaking image.

[worthy stirrup]

how the fuck did i manage that

[manic rune]

its literally a png 😭

[worthy stirrup]

why copy and paste

why did you do this to me

[idle plaza]

Cool png

[manic rune]

ezgif
>returns a png

[manic rune]

i see

[worthy stirrup]

it works fine now, thankfully

[manic rune]

wow that 9 of spades is cracked

[worthy stirrup]

Thats Jevil crossed off the list

[manic rune]

red seal AND polychrome

[worthy stirrup]

and glass

[lament agate]

how do you make a joker that goes eternal after being bought?

[manic rune]

theres context.buying_card

not sure if it can check for itself

you can try tho

[red flower]

context.buying_self exists now

[manic rune]

oh

it does??

[lament agate]

document where

[red flower]

@/eremel

[manic rune]

:3 in my defense

[lament agate]

CARAMEL

FINISH THE WIKI DOCUMENTATION

AND MY LIFE WILL BE YOURS

[manic rune]

😭

give him some time damn

[worthy stirrup]

now i wonder, what happens if i double jevil

[lament agate]

🥀

how do you make things eternal again

[wind steppe]

card.ability.eternal afaik

[lament agate]

thanks

wait i can just look up how cube did it

[wind steppe]

might be card.ability.self.eternal

[snow vale]

eh

[idle plaza]

Code?

[wind steppe]

can we see line 1801

(also with that many lines you should really separate into multiple files)

[snow vale]

sure
-# ik i should, but not yet

vruh

copy paste

[spice wadi]

do you have everything in one file

[snow vale]

for the moment yeah

ill divide it later on

[manic rune]

is this set anywhere?

[spice wadi]

where is this

[snow vale]

beginning of the code

[manic rune]

:3 probably put that in your calculate instead

[snow vale]

oh ok

[spice wadi]

that could be inefficient if it has to do that every calculate

[manic rune]

mm true

[spice wadi]

it could instead hook the main menu function and store the table as a variable of the mod or a unique global name

[snow vale]

then?

holy moly

hooking

😨

[manic rune]

though im pretty sure just grabbing something from G.P_CENTERS wont make it a Card

[snow vale]

but i think i understand it now

[manic rune]

so i think thats not the problem here

[snow vale]

so?

[spice wadi]

youd need a card object right

[manic rune]

yes

[spice wadi]

so how do you get that from a P_CENTERS entry

[snow vale]

ru asking me?

[spice wadi]

nah im just generally asking

[snow vale]

ok

[main minnow]

okay i've updated steamodded so that function does exist now, but the game is still crashing with attempt to call field 'destroy_cards' (a nil value)

any suggestions?

[manic rune]

im thinking about using SMODS.create_card (or just create_card), remove its back so that it shouldnt have any sprite, run calculate_joker off that and probably remove it later on? 🤔

not sure if thats a good approach

[snow vale]

so then what could be a way to fix my problem?

i want to copy a random joker's ability

[paper zealot]

For future reference, code formatting is provided by the language extension - gotta install the Lua extension or a formatting extension like Prettier first

[maiden phoenix]

Didn't know they don't have it since vscode seemed to have colored code

[wind steppe]

when does it change which joker it’s copying?

[snow vale]

end of round

so it crashes at the end of round

[wind steppe]

before earning money or after

[snow vale]

on main eval

[paper zealot]

VSCode includes basic syntax highlighting for a bunch of languages, but features like Intellisense, linting and formatting have to be provided by a language server extension

[maiden phoenix]

Whatever it's hard to guess with a pic alone, maybe you should give that advice to them

[paper zealot]

It seemed like their issue was fixed, I was just trying to let you know why the format option was missing for them 🙂

[spice wadi]

Is that necessary? Like what happens if you create a card object and never add it to deck

[manic rune]

do you know partner

it will give that exact results

[hybrid shadow]

bunp

[wind steppe]

take ownership of the four arcana packs and use SMODS.calculate_context

[hybrid shadow]

more ownership. yay

as if i havent made this incompatible enough with other mods already

[lament agate]

should i be ashamed

[primal robin]

..no?

[wind steppe]

for a sec I forgot that was an ai tool and thought it was the mouse cursor

[lament agate]

oh good

[lament agate]

it could be anywhere tho watch out

[wind steppe]

scary…

[versed basin]

How dare you ask questions to something that doesn’t respond with “marked as duplicate” and “closed”

[spice wadi]

I know of it but I've never used it or seen its code

[thorn furnace]

How does SMODS compare two versions

I want to implement that functionality

[pure salmon]

how do i duplicate every card in the deck once?

[obtuse silo]

is there any way to obtain the score of a single hand?

[tepid crow]

for what?

[obtuse silo]

like
after cards and jokers are scored
the effect would probably have to go into context.after

[thorn furnace]

ignore how it looks visually terrible I'm still working on that

or don't ignore it because I don't remember how to put the text on separate lines

[tepid crow]

Ah. Smods uses V, see https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/7d9be20bc4bd0fa9b3141d5c72b70d54c95b81f6/src/ui.lua#L1919 for usage and https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/7d9be20bc4bd0fa9b3141d5c72b70d54c95b81f6/src/utils.lua#L657 for implementation

[pure salmon]

this dupes the same card a LOT of times

[thorn furnace]

oo
thanks :>

[thorn furnace]

does V still work if the version has a v in front of it
Like if I fetch a version and it says "v1.0.0" instead of "1.0.0"

[tepid crow]

probably not but try and see what happens

[thorn furnace]

oki

fetching versions from github and those usually start with v

[thorn furnace]

unfortunate it does not

[formal parrot]

Hello french lady

[thorn furnace]

meoww

[formal parrot]

Is the Jojo modding going smooth ?

[thorn furnace]

I'm getting tired of asking people to update my mod when I add something so I'm programming a prompt into the game so it updates it for you

[tepid crow]

I mean those can have random weird names sometimes so kinda scary to assume it'll be a valid version number

[formal parrot]

Holy

[sturdy monolith]

why does card.ability work in literally every other mod I've used but not mine 😭

[thorn furnace]

It works perfect tho

[thorn furnace]

Eh
I'll let other people deal with that if they want to steal my code for it

If they're naming their version names wacky things that's kinda on them at that point

[formal parrot]

Good kitty

[burnt cairn]

which vanilla file contains the jokers' code?

[thorn furnace]

meoww

[obtuse silo]

is there any way to obtain the score a hand gives?
say like, lvl 1 pair with no jokers and two plain face cards to give 30 chips and 2 mult
i want to know where the "60" is stored

[tepid crow]

Fair enough. You should get 99.9% of cases anyway by doing a regex like (\d+\.)+ on the github version name

[thorn furnace]

I thought lua didn't support regex

[tepid crow]

it doesn't

I hate writing lua pattern matches

so I usually just give the equivalent regex when talking about it

[thorn furnace]

lemme ask google to translate it

[thorn furnace]

you're telling me you need to do a for loop of pattern matches

[errant fulcrum]

Could someone tell me why Celestial Packs are still showing up in the shop with this?

        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
        SMODS.remove_pool{G.P_CENTER_POOLS['Booster'], p_celestial_normal_1}
        SMODS.remove_pool{G.P_CENTER_POOLS['Booster'], p_celestial_normal_2}
        SMODS.remove_pool{G.P_CENTER_POOLS['Booster'], p_celestial_normal_3}
        SMODS.remove_pool{G.P_CENTER_POOLS['Booster'], p_celestial_normal_4}
        SMODS.remove_pool{G.P_CENTER_POOLS['Booster'], p_celestial_jumbo_1}
        SMODS.remove_pool{G.P_CENTER_POOLS['Booster'], p_celestial_jumbo_2}
        SMODS.remove_pool{G.P_CENTER_POOLS['Booster'], p_celestial_mega_1}
        SMODS.remove_pool{G.P_CENTER_POOLS['Booster'], p_celestial_mega_2}
        SMODS.add_card({set = 'Tarot', area = G.consumeables, key = 'c_high_priestess'})
        return true
    end
}))
end```

[tepid crow]

I think (%d+%.)+ will work?

[bold sleet]

Hey, does anyone happen to know the name of this card area thingy idk
(like, hand, discards, jokers, etc)

[thorn furnace]

it seems to say that would only capture the last match

[tepid crow]

oh wait my regex doesn't include the last version digit

lol

could do something like (\d+\.)+\d\S*? 🤔

[manic rune]

hooooow do i do something like hooking to the calculate of an object 🤔

i think i might be dumb

[bold sleet]

shouldn't that work?

no clue i am swery stoopid

[manic rune]

it doesnt

so i guess thats not it :p

it says mat_calc_ref is nil

[bold sleet]

I have. No fucking clue.

[tepid crow]

that would make sense if the calculate function was undefined?

[bold sleet]

Do you happen to know the answer for this one?

[manic rune]

🤔

[unkempt thicket]

It seems you're trying to hook and make the function at the same time so yea

[wind steppe]

G.pack_cards

[manic rune]

uhhh how do i hook then :3

[tepid crow]

you can't really pre-emptively hook a function that doesn't exist yet

[manic rune]

a

damn

this worked :p

[bold sleet]

if it works it works

no questions asked

[manic rune]

true

[tepid crow]

what's the intention of this hook if I may ask?

[wind steppe]

why are you hooking your own function

[manic rune]

uhh its for my relics system, there r some relics that increase +mult, xmult and such, so im thinking about hooking to calculate to increase them

[tepid crow]

sort of a generalist type system?

[tepid crow]

e.g. if the relic has the "+mult increase" type it'll automatically increase it without having to do copy-paste it every time?

[manic rune]

mhm

[tepid crow]

oh

[thorn furnace]

Okay I managed to get everything else working finally

[manic rune]

so this would give 4.5 mult instead

[thorn furnace]

how do I make the text be multiline

[unkempt thicket]

Can't that be done in its induvial calculation functions?

[manic rune]

just create multiple G.UIT.T in G.UIT.C, probably

[thorn furnace]

i do have this

[manic rune]

thats G.UIT.R

which will align them horizontally instead

[thorn furnace]

o
I really need some sleep

[manic rune]

🤔 i feel like reducing the hassle of needing to remember and write extra stuff in your calculate would be nice, since im trying to make yggdrasil an api mod too

[thorn furnace]

hm
I might need to put it in another node

[manic rune]

just needing to return {mult = 5} would be nicer than return {mult = 5 * gainsMulti["mult"]} imo

[tepid crow]

honestly making a custom calculate function might be best? 🤔

[thorn furnace]

this is quite puzzling

[unkempt thicket]

G.UIT.C instead of R

[thorn furnace]

You could modify it if you really wanted to

[thorn furnace]

if I have C instead of R it messes up the buttons

which are conveniently just barely out of camerashot

[burnt cairn]

is there a context for using a specific consumable?

[tepid crow]

I was thinking of

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    local result = self:calculate_ygg(card, context)
    if result.mult and SMODS.find_card(...) then result.mult = result.mult * x end
    return result
end

so it could also be hooked by others

[manic rune]

mm

might need to figure out how to make my own calculate then 🥀

hopefully its not that bad

[burnt cairn]

constellation uses context.consumeable.ability.set so itd be something similar to that right

[tepid crow]

you get the full consumable data right? could just check the parts you need

[manic rune]

is this how i do it

then im guessing i will need to patch something in here so that it will run calculate_ygg if its a relic from my mod? 🤔

[burnt cairn]

i dont know what parts im meant to be checking

[royal ridge]

check that context.using_consumeable is true first, and then you can do further logic with context.consumeable

[burnt cairn]

omg hi

[royal ridge]

bevweb

[burnt cairn]

toneblock

[sturdy monolith]

how do quantum enhancements work?

[manic rune]

i think im too dumb to figure this out,

a

[sturdy monolith]

i wanna make an enhancement that works with other ones

[errant fulcrum]

I'm just gonna ask: is there a function for banning specific booster packs in custom decks?

[spice wadi]

Nah this is just a complex task with limited documentation
You'll get there

[royal ridge]

no but you can hook start_run and ban things there

[manic rune]

actually, wait the fuck on

do i put this in SMODS.Center:extend

[snow vale]

i think i found the problem on the copying a random joker :/

it returns the whole thing

[burnt cairn]

so is this correct

[manic rune]

nop

[burnt cairn]

it doesnt crash the game but also just nothing happens when i use the fool so

[manic rune]

context.consumeable.config.center.key, im p sure

[royal ridge]

consumeable because

[manic rune]

oh

[burnt cairn]

ah yeah

[snow vale]

so then how can i fix this?

[manic rune]

its context.using_consumeable too

sob

[royal ridge]

and yeah this would be correct

context.consumeable is the card, not a string

[burnt cairn]

i see

most of this codebase is still a mystery to me

[manic rune]

i

dont know what im doing here at all ima be real

is there any mod that adds their own calculate??

[burnt cairn]

where would i find these myself in the game files? like these contexts have gotta be defined somewhere in vanilla right

[manic rune]

its in the documentation

[burnt cairn]

yeah but the documentation sucksssssss

[manic rune]

😭 buddy you are better off reading this than the game's code, trust me

[burnt cairn]

i know

the resources for learning modding are. far from good

[formal parrot]

Imagine reading the game’s code

Puff

Could never be me

[snow vale]

neither me

[formal parrot]

Baconator

[burnt cairn]

any attempt at reading the documentation for me usually ends up in 10 minutes of being lost and then asking here instead

[snow vale]

cooking bacon

[snow vale]

actually that's true

[formal parrot]

Lmao

[burnt cairn]

and i always feel like a nuisance whenever i ask anything

its annoying 💥

[formal parrot]

bro its totally easy once you figure out the basic structure

Check vanilla remade and you’ll find everything if you know how to search properly

[hybrid shadow]

i think the issue is more lua's higher skill floor than it is "bad documentation"

[formal parrot]

I despise lua

We’re friends tho

🤝

[royal ridge]

gameobject still confuses me 😭

[burnt cairn]

yeah, my programming experience is a decade of scratch and like the bare minimum amount of js

[manic rune]

i think i understand now, after reading partner's code

[burnt cairn]

so idfk

[snow vale]

that reminds me of myself tbh

[manic rune]

holy fuck i need to patch EVERYWHERE to add context 😭

[royal ridge]

if you know scratch you know how to code

you just don't know lua

[burnt cairn]

exactly

[snow vale]

well i did touch python and gmlcode but idk

[hybrid shadow]

i think its just unintuitive, which isnt a bad thing once you understand it enough but it makes understanding it from the outset an issue

[burnt cairn]

i also dont know steammodded which is a whole other thing

[hybrid shadow]

im more scared of eventually having to learn whatever gamemaker uses

[snow vale]

wtf is this? 😭

[hybrid shadow]

you printed something

[snow vale]

no way really

[royal ridge]

bro is printing the card

[snow vale]

i meant

[royal ridge]

💀

[burnt cairn]

genuinely if i ever make my own game its gonna be made in scratch and then exported with one of those html conversion tools

[hybrid shadow]

unprint it

[snow vale]

i want a joker that copies a random joker in the game, so to do it i need to know what does the normal copying jokers copy to do so

[hybrid shadow]

vanilla remade

[royal ridge]

i went back to scratch and was annoyed at how slow it was

[snow vale]

i mean i have the code to copy, i just wanna know what is being copied

[burnt cairn]

🦭 yeah

[royal ridge]

random joker in collection?

[snow vale]

yeah

[wind steppe]

blueprint compatibility or just copy everything

[royal ridge]

do you like, set_ability then calculate then set it back or something

surely that doesn't break

[snow vale]

this is what i receive from the print of that joker copying a random joker

this is the code

[hybrid shadow]

its copying flower pot rn it seems

[royal ridge]

that's just the center ain't it

[snow vale]

blueprint compatibility

[snow vale]

yeah

[wind steppe]

oh good

[snow vale]

but it aint the same as what blueprint copies

[snow vale]

yeah how do i get the thing i need?

[burnt cairn]

ok this has been the shortest amount of time between putting the joker in the game and having it entirely properly functional im a little taken aback

[royal ridge]

it's not a card you can't use calculate_joker

um

[burnt cairn]

usually i get stumped on something dumb for like 4 hours

[snow vale]

wait really?

i think i used something like that before

in my other mod

wait brb

ok didnt find it 😔

it was smthing abt creating a joker inside that joker

to use it

[royal ridge]

like idk if blueprint code is entirely usable here

[hybrid shadow]

i had that happen to me yesterday

[snow vale]

so uh then

[royal ridge]

i'll check if dumb solution works

probably doesn't

[snow vale]

what's that solution?

[pure salmon]

where do cards go after they're played or discarded?

[formal parrot]

The graveyard

[pure salmon]

no like seriously

[royal ridge]

G.discard

[formal parrot]

🤷

[wind steppe]

G.biblically_accurate_hell

[pure salmon]

i want to make a deck that puts played/discarded cards back into the deck

[formal parrot]

Thats easy i think

I’ve seen people do it before

[pure salmon]

yeah i know bunco has a boss blind that does something pretty similar

[formal parrot]

Look in the bunco code then

[pure salmon]

have you seen what bunco looks like on the inside

i was hoping to just have the deck move all the cards in G.discard back into the deck instead of needing to patch the play and discard function to send the cards back to the deck

which context would i do that in?

not sure if there's a context between after and hand_drawn

[snow vale]

how can i get each mod's prefix?

or if the joker is vanilla?

[wind steppe]

the joker is vanilla if it has no prefix

[snow vale]

yeah but each mod's

[wind steppe]

idk

[royal ridge]

well it's not supposed to do that

but you get the idea

[wind steppe]

crimson bean if it was different

[obtuse silo]

question
the localisation file doesn't have anything designated section for boosters, should i just put them in the "other" category?

[wind steppe]

yes

[knotty copper]

Need advice fixing a text bug issue with malverk
For some reason when switching languages it doesn't properly update the text of some items such as decks to the new selected languages and keeps the text of the previous language
It seems to only occur when I have the texture pack object in my code, so I'm not sure if the issue is with how I set up my texture pack object or my alt textures

actually that's a pretty fun joker idea

gain effect of a random joker every second

[snow vale]

lmao it looks cool

i like itt even

also i alr fixed it

[royal ridge]

gg

[latent river]

oh man

[main minnow]

okay i have a joker whose ability is "each scored 7 has a 1 in 2 chance to destroy a random card held in hand". if i just tell it to remove the cards straight up it does it at the start of the hand before anything is scored, but if i wrap the function call in an event (see pic) it destroys them after drawing the cards for the next hand. how do i get it to run this destroy_cards function when the 7 is actually scored?

i assume it's some trigger clause on the event manager but i can't find an option that looks right

[faint yacht]

If the chance succeeds, just "mark" the card with something. Then, for context.destroy_card, check for the given mark.

[royal ridge]

what's internally happening is that SMODS.destroy_cards sets up events itself

[royal ridge]

context.destroy_card will destroy after which is presumably not wanted

[snow vale]

ok nvm ts not working

[royal ridge]

i'm not exactly sure why a non-wrapped call destroys cards early

[snow vale]

how should pseudorandom_element work?

[royal ridge]

returns a random element from the table

[hidden sable]

how can i make a joker give a seal to a card

like if its the first hand played and theres only 1 card

give it a modded seal

[tribal kestrel]

I've been stuck on this for a few days, and I could really use some idea if anyone can help

Trying to make a basic map system, i'd like to use cards as "icons". when I add the button config to the card, it does the clicking animation, but doesn't actually trigger the function. I haven't been able to figure out why. This only happens when states.hover.can = true, but i need it to be true for the tooltip to show up, and I like the little tilting animation that comes with it. if anyone has any ideas at all, please let me know! 🥹

[hidden sable]

layer the actual button over it for detecting clicks? not really that money smaro to give advice but this might work

[tribal kestrel]

I tried doing that, but I don't think the G.UIT.O node can display any child nodes? Not sure. I may be able to create a separate UI element to do that, but keep all that aligned seems tedious. I'll try that if I can't work out anything else

[hidden sable]

dont cards usually have a "use" thing attached to them

maybe you can get that to function on the card?

and instead of the whole card being a button its adding a use thing which in my eyes seems more intuitive

[tribal kestrel]

that's for consumables, this is a joker, technically. I'd probably try the extra UI element first, I think i'd like it to just be one click rather than the "use" ui showing up

[hidden sable]

jokers still come with a sell button

maybe you can make it read differnt text

only other idea i have is make a custom tooltip overlay?

[tribal kestrel]

yeah I may be better off just making it a sprite than a card... may be able to also make my own custom object for it as well

[hidden sable]

anyone know how to add information about objects as an extra tooltip to a joker

like if i wanted to have the info for a seal be next to the jokers information

how would i do this

[tribal kestrel]

i don't know how to do it myself, but I do know there are plenty of mods that do it. you can also look at the source code for the spectral cards that give seals, or the vanilla remade mod would probably help too
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[hidden sable]

maybe this?

[tepid crow]

do you have a quick copy-paste example I can throw in my mod to test some stuff?

[tribal kestrel]

let me set something up that's a bit easier to copy paste, one sec

[hidden sable]

didnt work sadly

either that or i inputted it wrong

[snow vale]

FINALLY, I FOUND THE PROBLEM

THE JOKERS TABLE IS EMPTY

[hidden sable]

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.pwn_hammerseal
would this be different for modded items?

[pure salmon]

dr whatsapp real

[hidden sable]

yeah it happens to be very similar to dr whatsapp

[tepid crow]

it's G.P_SEALS for seals specifically I think

[fading hemlock]

bump

[snow vale]

how can i fix this??

[hidden sable]

it was

[tepid crow]

probably a localization thing (withlocalize and G.localization)?

[snow vale]

what are these values related to?

[fading hemlock]

maybe, but presumably the localization code would run just once so afterwards I could just change the output.

[tepid crow]

yes but that would presumably also change it permanently 🤔

you could try and see what cryptid does for the M/jolly edition?

[cobalt iron]

When I change a blind's size mid-round, the blind becomes smaller, but doesn't show it? Is there a way to change the display?

[final goblet]

if context. and G.jokers.cards[1] then

[final goblet]

would this be functional?

am looking for the right context for when ante increases

[hidden sable]

in calculate is it possible to return a function in the return part

[snow vale]

what's wrong

[tribal kestrel]

Okay this should work. It just uses a random joker for the card

function ave_test_func(e)
      print("click")
end

SMODS.Keybind {
  key_pressed = "j",
  action = function()
    local map = map or UIBox{
        definition = debugMapUI(),
        config = {align='bm', offset = {x=0,y=G.ROOM.T.y-11},major = G.hand, bond = 'Weak', instance_type = 'CARDAREA'}
      }
  end
}

function debugMapUI()
  mapW = 12
  cellH = 2
  cellW = (mapW / 3) - (0.6 / 3)
  anteH = 3
  c1_1 = SMODS.create_card({set = "Joker"})
  c1_1.states.collide.can = true
  c1_1.states.hover.can = true
  c1_1.states.drag.can = false
  c1_1.states.click.can = false
  c1_1.T.r = math.pi/2
  mapUI = {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config = {align = 'cm', colour = G.C.CLEAR, maxw = mapW}, nodes={
    {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "bm", colour = G.C.RED, minw = mapW, maxh = cellH, padding = 0.1}, nodes={
      {n=G.UIT.C, config={id = '1-1', align = "bm", colour = G.C.CLEAR, minw = cellW, maxh = cellH}, nodes={
        {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "tm", colour = ave_brown, minh = cellH, minw = 3, maxh = cellH, r = 0.1, padding = -0.25}, nodes={
          {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "tm", colour = G.C.CLEAR, maxw = cellW, maxh = cellH, r = 0.1}, nodes={
            {n=G.UIT.O, config={object = c1_1, button = 'ave_test'}}
          }}
        }}
      }},
      {n=G.UIT.C, config={id = '1-2', align = "bm", colour = G.C.CLEAR, minw = cellW, minh = cellH}, nodes={
        {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", colour = ave_brown, minw = cellW, minh = cellH, r = 0.1, button = 'ave_test'}}
      }},
      {n=G.UIT.C, config={id = '1-3', align = "bm", colour = G.C.CLEAR, minw = cellW, minh = cellH}, nodes={
        {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", colour = ave_brown, minw = cellW, minh = cellH, r = 0.1}}
      }}
    }}
  }}
  return mapUI
end

Paste that into your main .lua file

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/button_callbacks.lua"
pattern = 'G.FUNCS.hand_text_UI_set = function(e)'
position = "before"
payload = '''
G.FUNCS.ave_test = function (e)
  ave_test_func(e)
end
'''
match_indent = true
times = 1

and use this to patch the function into G.FUNCS to make the button work

or just use your own function if you already have one patched

hit j once you're in game, won't work on the main menu

(accidentally pasted wrong patch, fixed now)

[tepid crow]

yeah that patch makes more sense

though that doesn't actually have to be a patch btw

[tribal kestrel]

it doesn't? I thought it 100% needed to be patched in

[tepid crow]

no, you can just globally define G.FUNCS.ave_test in one of your mod files

[tribal kestrel]

oh. yeah that's good haha

I learn by looking through the source code haha, I patched in the atlas for my jokers manually before realizing SMODS.Atlas was a thing haha

[tepid crow]

wowie

that's rough haha

[snow vale]

bump

[tribal kestrel]

i'm unfamiliar with the function SMODS.get_vanilla_joker_return, is there any documentation for it?

[snow vale]

i think not

[tribal kestrel]

well whatever it is, it's returning nil. so it doesn't like the key or maybe the function itself. is that line 174?

[snow vale]

yeah

it is

[fading hemlock]

I was looking, their code is a huge mess it looks like they have a function to override the gui generation

[tepid crow]

yeah that sounds like cryptid alright

[fading hemlock]

I think what might be happening is there is some code somewhere that isn't refreshing the gui based on the actual card. I'm not sure where that code is though, because other stats do get refreshed.

[tribal kestrel]

are you sure that function exists? I actually can't find it anywhere. maybe I need to update my SMODS tho

[snow vale]

i actually think ill need to create it

cuz someone gave me that code

so

[tribal kestrel]

ah, yeah that's likely your problem then

[tepid crow]

Hmm, this is a weird one. The card appears to be getting clicked, but none of the :click functions I can find seem to be getting called 🤔

[tribal kestrel]

yeah it doesn't make sense, I've been trying to look through the source code but haven't been getting anywhere 😮‍💨

thanks for your help regardless

[tepid crow]

I'll try some other stuff

[snow vale]

#💻・modding-dev message ok i found where i received that code

the problem is that i dont find the function definition for SMODS.get_vanilla_joker_return

or in this case, SEAL

[tribal kestrel]

I can't find it there either, looks like they just forgot to write it. You'll have to add it yourself. my brain is too fried atm to figure out what any of that is supposed to do right now haha

[snow vale]

guess ill ping him

[tribal kestrel]

been working on my problem for probably 6 hours straight now

[snow vale]

@daring fern please help

[crisp coral]

does Card:click not get called at all

try not attaching a button to the Card and hook to Card:click instead

[zealous glen]

I wonder if this is a safety measure to prevent clicking on the sell or hover buttons while hovering over a card

[tepid crow]

from my very short testing: Card:click (or any other :click?) doesn't get called if .config.button is defined

[zealous glen]

Since the buttons are behind cards

[crisp coral]

actually instead of the button you can just do card_obj.click = button_func lol

[tepid crow]

yeah just redefining c1_1.click = G.FUNCS.ave_test should hopefully work

the hooking also works but that's probably worse

[wild pine]

i have this joker that makes the reroll button become inactive, but is there a way of hiding it completely?

i havent found any means of making it completely transparent or anything

[hidden sable]

whats the atlas of jsut like any blind atlas

im making a boss blind and i just want a texture i can use

temp

[crisp coral]

i recommend against removing the reroll button, very invasive to other mods

[hidden sable]

but what if they dont plan for compatibility in mind

[wild pine]

mm fair

i dont plan for compatibility really since its just a thing for me and my friend group but eh

[hidden sable]

isnt there jsut straight up a love function you can call that removes the reroll button

[old epoch]

Is there a way to make a joker increase negative chances?

[wild pine]

i was looking for one but couldnt find anything

[crisp coral]

if so, the reroll button is defined somewhere in ui_definitions.lua

[zealous glen]

Oops! All Sixes

[wild pine]

do you know what it might be

[hidden sable]

they said negative chances, not chances

[shell timber]

increasing just negative chances would be very invasive and probably not doable with mod compat

[zealous glen]

Probably not since the UI isn’t love

[old epoch]

ah

[zealous glen]

Increasing chances increases negative chances

[hidden sable]

wdym the ui isnt love

[hidden sable]

actually?

[wintry solar]

No

[wild pine]

could also just try to move it offscreen actually

[zealous glen]

It was coded by thunk

[wild pine]

is there a love function for that

[hidden sable]

love is the game engine that thunk uses

[zealous glen]

Yes

[wintry solar]

What exactly do you want to achieve by “increasing negative chances”?

[faint yacht]

-# Hone, but for negative?

[old epoch]

I want to make a joker that quintuples the rate at which negative jokers show up

[zealous glen]

Oh negative as in the Edition

I thought of it like negative events

Like a Glass Card not breaking

[tribal kestrel]

I actually know exactly how to do this haha, one sec

[wild pine]

oh w lets go

[zealous glen]

Or a Lucky Card not triggering

[wild pine]

thanks man

[wintry solar]

Quintuples the negative edition when an edition spawns, or just full stop increase the chance so editions in general are more likely?

[old epoch]

Probably the second one

[tired kestrel]

does that mean the reroll button is the joker rthat actally triggers via reroll?

[wintry solar]

Youd just need to change the get_weight function of the negative edition then, I’d recommend a hook

[old epoch]

Ah, alright

[wild pine]

the joke is that youre buying the reroll button itself to get a discount on everything
at the cost of not being able to reroll, because, well, you bought the button

[old epoch]

Thank you!

[wild pine]

of course it just shows up in a shop im not actually buying the button itself

[wintry solar]

It’s worth noting that a negative edition has a 0.3% spawn chance

[hidden sable]

whats the balatro default tag atlas

[tired kestrel]

yeah. was also thinking maybe would be crazy if you can make it so that you make the joker as a funtional reroll button.

[wild pine]

that would be funny but i dont know if i should try and figure out how active abilities work yet

[fading hemlock]

it would be really funny if instead of rerolling when you click the button it showed "buy" and "use" buttons

[wild pine]

this mod is like my first time coding anything outside of school

[crisp coral]

let me guess, you played lobcorp

[tribal kestrel]

you need to identify the UIElement for the reroll button, then call the remove() function on the UI element itself. it looks like the reroll button doesn't have an ID though, so it's a little awkward to get. You could do this by either doing G.shop.children[1].children[1].children[1](etc):remove() to get to the reroll node, or you could patch in an id for the reroll button itself and do something like G.shop:get_UIE_by_id('reroll'):remove()

[wild pine]

the lob corp mod or the game? because yes for both

[wild pine]

ooh

[tribal kestrel]

I made a mod that changes the reroll button UI if you have dunsparce from pokermon in your hand haha

[crisp coral]

my hunch was correct

[wild pine]

ill see if i can fit that in my current one that disables it rq

this is peak ty

[tribal kestrel]

np!

[wild pine]

wait is there a way to bring it back though

if youre just outright removing it

[tribal kestrel]

it comes back anytime the shop gets reloaded, otherwise you'll have to bring it back yourself yeah

[wild pine]

oh ok nice

[sturdy compass]

Corobo just sent me a video of her auto-updater working. Genuinely revolutionary

[crisp coral]

real shit?

[sturdy compass]

real shit

I've been begging her to PR it into SMODS lol

But for now I'm just gonna do a stealy stealy for Maximus

[crisp coral]

smods auto updater hype (i'm still gonna use git

[shell timber]

what???

[hidden sable]

bumop

[wintry solar]

An auto updater?

[subtle merlin]

attempt to index local 'p_edition' (a nil value)?

[tepid crow]

would be nice but also 15 mods with "update me!" would be kind of annoying if I have to click through all of them

[sturdy compass]

She said she wants to make it stack so it grabs all of the mods at once instead of doing each individual one

[thorn basin]

For some reason, balatro crashes and says that the value of the chips is a "nil" value in the line.
How can I fix this?

[tepid crow]

oooohhhh 👀

I'm in

[wintry solar]

How does it work?

[sturdy compass]

You'd have to ask her yourself lol

[sturdy compass]

@thorn furnace

[wintry solar]

Respawn the joker

[thorn furnace]

Meoww

[thorn basin]

wdym by that?

[hidden sable]

is math.random(1,10) a thing here

[wintry solar]

Make a new copy of it and see if it still crashes

[thorn furnace]

Fetches the version tag of the latest release on your github
If it's newer than the installed version, it prompts an update request
Then it just downloads it, unzips it, installs it, and restarts balatro

[thorn basin]

aight, now it works

[fading hemlock]

How would I go about finding the ui element for a card object?

[thorn furnace]

I still want to add more things to it (it is very very early in concept) but for now it's barely passing for users to use

[sturdy monolith]

does anyone here have a Mac? need some help compiling something

[formal parrot]

Hey chat

So i used draw step to apply the shader to all my cards

And now i wanna remove the shader

How ?

[wintry solar]

It doesn’t need any authentication or anything right?

[sturdy monolith]

delete the drawstep

[formal parrot]

That didnt work

:D

[thorn furnace]

Nah it should be good
No authentication, no libraries

[formal parrot]

Can i apply the shader to one joker based on key or enhancement?

What context do i need

[sturdy monolith]

it shouldn't
my mod has a similar update script for downloading the dlls for the module i made for it and it doesn't need any auth

[sturdy monolith]

https://github.com/TheBearodactyl/insolence-balatro/blob/v2/src/content/jokers/the_watcher.lua

[formal parrot]

(I’m using self..config.center.mod.id==“id”)

[sturdy monolith]

look at this

[formal parrot]

Breaking bad !?😭😭

[sturdy monolith]

it's a joker that uses a shader instead of art by using the draw function

[sturdy monolith]

*baking bread

[formal parrot]

Holy shit😭

[sturdy compass]

I just implemented it into Maximus and it literally took changing 3-5 lines to get it working for me. It's a really nice modular design, especially this early in its development

[formal parrot]

I think i figured it out

[wintry solar]

Got a link I can look at?

[hallow forge]

baking badly when

[formal parrot]

Thanks

[sturdy monolith]

np

[thorn furnace]

On this note tho
If someone wants to help with the UI aspect of this, I can get the rest pumped out pretty quick
The UI took like ⅚ of all of it and I had to basically cheat to get out of it

[zealous glen]

Yes

[formal parrot]

I figured it out but thanks :>

[thorn furnace]

I get really sad when things aren't modular so I try to make my stuff modular

[sturdy compass]

W mindset

[sturdy monolith]

modularity >>>>

[thorn furnace]

Its not modular enough tho its like two things

[sturdy compass]

still a good start

[sturdy monolith]

my mod currently has literally every item in its own separate file that can be deleted at any time if a user wants a specific item gone for good

[thorn furnace]

👀

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Somethingcom515/SealsOnJokers/blob/allinone/bigfuncs.lua#L1

[zealous glen]

An user would need to edit the table that picks which objects to load

I’m not sure deleting the individual files would work

As in

I’m not sure if it would load

[sturdy monolith]

me when it already has that

[zealous glen]

For my mod

[thorn furnace]

:3

[zealous glen]

I’m talking about my mod

[sturdy monolith]

fair enough

[zealous glen]

Though I have multiple tables

Two per object type

There’s maybe one or another hardcoded block still

[sturdy monolith]

btw

[zealous glen]

Mostly when I start developing a new object type

[tribal kestrel]

trying this out, it runs the function once when the UI loads, but then doesn't work after that.. which feels like progress but I don't know why it would do that either 🥲

at the very least I can try having that function print the object table and see what that looks like

[tepid crow]

make sure you're just passing a reference to the function, not calling it

[zealous glen]

@tall wharf? Maybe not

[tribal kestrel]

ah, that's it. Thanks!

[sturdy compass]

I’ve got it https://github.com/TheCoroboCorner/JoJoMod/blob/main/JoJoMod/src/update.lua

[thorn furnace]

:3

Sorri i didnt see the message

[sturdy compass]

Knowing Eremel he’s gonna pick it apart (in a good way lol)

[wintry solar]

Nah I don’t know a lot about this stuff

[thorn furnace]

Ill probably get started on making it more modular in a bit but bigger updates (like the multiple mods at a time thing) will probably take a lot longer on my own just bc ui is a nightmare to deal with

[wintry solar]

Without looking, I’m assuming it’s currently a click each one to update?

[sturdy compass]

Yeppers

It’s also on a mod-by-mod basis

[thorn furnace]

I would send my screen recording but my internet is acting up

Wait

Here

[subtle merlin]

How would i check in a consumable if there's a round currently ongoing?

[wintry solar]

Oh it’s just a pop up

[thorn furnace]

My UI skills aren't good enough to do much better than that

[thorn furnace]

I think in the can_use function you put G.GAME.in_blind
Or something like that

[tall wharf]

:3

[thorn furnace]

:3

[wintry solar]

I think it’d be better implemented in the mod list (aiko’s super sleek version when it’s not super laggy) where there are update buttons on the mods with updates, restarting on leaving the menu, and then an update all button somewhere

Granted, that’s not the easiest ui work

[thorn furnace]

Meowww aikoo can u help me with my ui stuffsss

[wild pine]

Enable some boolean value when the context is setting_blind and disable it when the context is end_of_round?

[tall wharf]

i am stupid i can;'t ui

[faint yacht]

G.GAME.in_blind ain't a thing,.

[zealous glen]

I told them to check Luchador

[thorn furnace]

G.GAME.blind.in_blind

[thorn furnace]

U can ui at least like 20x better than i can

[obtuse silo]

G.GAME_blind is what VanillaRemade uses when Luchador checks

[thorn furnace]

Me smash head against keyboard for 26 hours and get one popup

[obtuse silo]

it also checks if the blind is a boss blind and if the blind has already been disabled, which aren't necessary for what i'm doing

[pure salmon]

how do i check if a card has a seal

[thorn furnace]

if card.seal

[pure salmon]

ah

[hidden sable]

i copied the code from the vremade gros michel and i wanna modify it so instead of deleting the joker it debuffs it for 3 rounds then enables it again

how do i change whether a card is debuffed or not

[fading hemlock]

bump

[subtle merlin]

doesn't work, ill check G.GAME.blind.in_blind rn

works!

ty all :3

[obtuse silo]

neat

[feral tree]

thx

[faint yacht]

...actually, on that note, would it be better to convert my enhancement's weight attribute to get_weight functions too?

[wintry solar]

It depends what you’re trying to achieve

[snow vale]

ok thanks

[faint yacht]

Just to try and be more in-line with vanilla editions having get_weight? Also, for the negative hook, this would be it, ya?

local negweightref = G.P_CENTERS['e_negative'].get_weight
G.P_CENTERS['e_negative'].get_weight = function(self)
  -- do stuff
  return negweightref(self)
end

[wintry solar]

get_weight is only used to modify the rate last the default rate of the game, for example in editions there’s a 4% chance for them to spawn, but the function increases that for the three editions when you have the vouchers to 8% and 16%

[faint yacht]

...fair enough.

-# I've yet to even make a custom edition, shaders are a bit much for me-

[sturdy monolith]

trying to add this to my mod but it just does this?

[hidden sable]

🙏

[wintry solar]

You can use it for enhancements too, there’s just no vanilla example to use here

But it’s for modifications to the weight past the default

[hidden sable]

and by card i mean joker card

[thorn furnace]

I dont think i understand what the screenshot is of

[fading hemlock]

bump

[sturdy monolith]

it was supposed to unzip the release into just the insolence folder but it made a brand new folder instead
the release zip I'm using has no subfolders

well, it doesn't have a subfolder containing the mod at least

[thorn furnace]

Oh
You commented out the subfolder part at the top i assume?

[sturdy monolith]

no i left it blank like it said in the comment

[thorn furnace]

Same thing I suppose

Hmm

[sturdy monolith]

lemme at least try deleting it or setting it to nil

[thorn furnace]

Oki

[sturdy monolith]

nope, same thing

[thorn furnace]

Huh

Hmm

Trying to think what would cause the new directory

[normal dune]

someone can help me? i am doing a mod and when i go into the game the text dont apper the number just says "nil"

[thorn furnace]

What do the parameters at the top look like
Just to double check

[broken cliff]

you have to utilize loc_vars for the numbers to appear as something else

(as in scalable numbers and etc)

[formal parrot]

How can i make a joker creates another specific one and self destruct?

[thorn furnace]

Hm
What does the new folder look like
Like what's it called

[sturdy monolith]

sorry about the picture, discord greyscreens on my laptop when i use my hotspot for some reason

[sturdy monolith]

same as before

insolence-balatro-2.0.2

[thorn furnace]

Oh that

[broken cliff]

@normal dune Heres an example on how to use loc_vars(put it in your joker)

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

then you can put #1# to put it in your loc_txt to make it render there

[normal dune]

i do that

i think

[broken cliff]

in this example, it puts the mult of the card into a loc_vars

[formal parrot]

Deep i need help 😭

[normal dune]

i found my error thx to help me

[broken cliff]

please do not be ui

[granite nymph]

so uhh i was playing yahimod and died to the horse blind

how do i fix this

[broken cliff]

please do not be an ui error

[formal parrot]

No no

[formal parrot]

This

[sturdy monolith]

think i found the problem

true_subpath

[thorn furnace]

true_subpath should grab the subdirectory to extract from

[broken cliff]

create_card("Joker", ...(params)) or smth

for self-destruction uhm

[tall wharf]

SMODS.add_card :

[broken cliff]

^

this is better

[sturdy monolith]

it's the only pattern i could find that matched repo_name-tag_name though

[formal parrot]

How do i add specific one

Wait let me check the wili

Wili

FUCK

[sturdy monolith]

wili

[thorn furnace]

Yea it goes to uhh

if is_windows then
		os.execute(('if exist "%s" rmdir /S /Q "%s"'):format(tmp_dir, tmp_dir))
		os.execute(('if exist "%s" rmdir /S /Q "%s"'):format(out_dir, out_dir))
		ok1 = os.execute(string.format('powershell -NoProfile -Command "Expand-Archive -LiteralPath %q -DestinationPath %q -Force"', zip_path, tmp_dir))
		
		local subfolder = get_subdir(tmp_dir)
		if subfolder then
			local src_path = subpath and tmp_dir .. "\\" .. subfolder .. "\\" .. subpath or tmp_dir .. "\\" .. subfolder
			ok2 = os.execute(string.format('powershell -NoProfile -Command "Move-Item -Path %q -Destination %q -Force"', src_path, out_dir))

			ok2 = false

[thorn furnace]

Wait

Come to think of it it's not actually used

Hold on

I shouldn't have stepped away from my computer

[fierce frost]

im trying to make a joker that's just jimbo but with chips but im terrible at coding and it's causing a crash

im not sure if i'd be allowed to send the mod just to show the crash or what

[broken cliff]

so +4 chips?

[thorn furnace]

Wait
What are the contents of that folder

[fierce frost]

yeah

more just as a test joker and so i can try to figure out how to do this

[sturdy monolith]

the actual mod contents

I'm testing out a fix i made rq
I'll open a PR if it works

[thorn furnace]

Oh you know what happened

I forgot to rename the folder if there's no subfolder

[broken cliff]

return { chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips }

[hidden sable]

how do i debuff jokers and detect if they are debuffed, and how do i detect when a boss blind is defeated

[broken cliff]

card.ability.extra.chips is the amount of chisp u want to add

[thorn furnace]

That'd be it

If there's a subfolder you don't have to worry about that so I forgot about it

It took me that long to realize it

When I get home I'll fix that in a quick patch

[thorn furnace]

O

[hidden sable]

🙏

[sturdy monolith]

and it did not in fact work 💔

[sturdy monolith]

if card.debuff

[hidden sable]

and how do i do the other stuff, like setting the debuff and checking when a boss blind is fedeated

[sturdy monolith]

card.debuff = true

[thorn furnace]

Yea ill patch it up dw
Its just one more line of powershell to change the folder name, thats it

[hidden sable]

and uhh, the last part

[feral tree]

if context.end_of_round and (G.GAME.blind:get_type() == 'Boss') then?

[sturdy monolith]

if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss

[fierce frost]

apparently this line is causing my joker to crash the game when i enter a blind
if card.debuff then return nil end (i dont know how to format it to be in the funny box, so it's in apostrophies)

[sturdy monolith]

use `

[hidden sable]

nice thanks

[sturdy monolith]

also don't return nil

[broken cliff]

why would u return nil

js dont return it

[fierce frost]

not my code, took it from a tutorial because i dont know lua

but how would i not return it

[daring fern]

Code?

[broken cliff]

return in the case of jokers is used to send back the information like
message to put onto the card
xmult, mult, chips
card

[sturdy monolith]

nil means void, it means nothing, it means the end of existence, do not return nil

[broken cliff]

and you would want to put that into a table(dictionary)

[fierce frost]

so would it just be if card.debuff then return end

[daring fern]

Yes, so it wouldn't cause a crash.

[formal parrot]

Can context.destroy_card self destruct a joker ?

[sturdy monolith]

just don't return

[fierce frost]

ah

[daring fern]

Not returning and returning nil are the same.

[fierce frost]

so just then end

[broken cliff]

why do you need to check if the card is debuffed

[broken cliff]

^

[sturdy monolith]

or return an empty table if you really want

[broken cliff]

except you are feeding info to joker handler

[daring fern]

No, if you want to declare a trigger you would do return nil, true

[sturdy monolith]

ah

[sturdy monolith]

i mean exactly what i said
nil means null, and null literally just means "nothing"
you can't return nothing and expect it to work

[hidden sable]

what is context.joker_main is it after all cards are scored?

[sturdy monolith]

it's the joker that's currently being scored

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[sturdy monolith]

i know...?

[hidden sable]

so after the card chips and allat, it sweeps from left to right for jokers and if they have a joker main context they fire that context event?

[daring fern]

Not returning at all wouldn't cause a crash either.

[daring fern]

What is the entire code?

[sturdy monolith]

why are you telling me this
#💻・modding-dev message
i wasn't the one having a problem with it

[fading hemlock]

[fierce frost]

ok so i got into the blind but it's not giving the +4 chips

[pulsar furnace]

Can someone tell me what G.ROOM.T is?

[sturdy monolith]

what's context.scoring_name?

[daring fern]

It's the name of the played hand.

[fierce frost]

not sure

[sturdy monolith]

right but why are they checking it without comparing it to something

[daring fern]

It is doing the chips, you're just not seeing it, replace chip_mod with chips

[fierce frost]

im stupid and not quite sure how to use this so i've kinda just been cobbling together parts from an example mod i found

[fierce frost]

what is the difference between the two

[daring fern]

chips has a message.

[sturdy monolith]

they also don't return a message which makes it so that it doesn't actually show the "+10" pop-up

[sturdy monolith]

oh

[fierce frost]

it is still not adding the chips

[sturdy monolith]

try returning a message
also don't check scoring_name, it does nothing

at least not if you don't compare it to something

[fierce frost]

i removed that part already, how would i return a message?

[pulsar furnace]

Is it possible to add a CardArea to a CardArea?

[sturdy monolith]

check the code for the nostalgic deck in cryptid

[fierce frost]

also is there a way to easily reload the mods without restarting the game?

[sturdy monolith]

hold down M

it restarts the game but it takes a lot less steps

[fading hemlock]

bump

[sturdy monolith]

sorry, i meant the beta deck

[daring fern]

No.

[sturdy monolith]

it is, beta deck in cryptid does it

[vague crest]

hellooo I am trying to get a joker working that retriggers cards if you play small hands, and I have the retrigger part working perfectly without a criteria BUT if i add the stipulation that exists in half joker it shows up as nil everywhere but in the collection, and playing a hand crashes the game because it attempts to compare a number with nil. does anyone know a fix?

[fierce frost]

i've made it return a message and it just doesnt

[vague crest]

i think i understand what most of the code is doing here its starting to click im starting to get how the contexts and all that work but this bug is eluding me

[sturdy monolith]

not in the code

merging 2 and 2 is the same as adding 2 and 2

[vague crest]

woah the screenshot was not even close to useful what happened there

weirdest thing is that it does show up fine in the collection just not in game

[sturdy monolith]

it is

[fierce frost]

i've added the message and it never shows up
calculate = function(self,context) if context.joker_main and context.cardarea == G.jokers then return { chips = card.ability.extra.chips, colour = G.C.CHIPS, message = 'GRR i am evil jimbo' } end end,

[sturdy monolith]

please for the love of God just ask if you're confused i can't clarify something if i don't know what i need to clarify. a question mark emoji doesn't tell me anything

this better?

it's called the beta deck in the code

[pulsar furnace]

how could i add a ui in collections that is like
( ▯ = deck )

▯ ▯ ▯
▯ ▯ ▯

[sturdy monolith]

omfg

[pulsar furnace]

i tried but its only one column

[sturdy monolith]

ykw, I'll just go ask in the cryptid discord server

[hidden sable]

when i debuff a joker card it auto undebuffs after the blind is over, any way to disable this behavior?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[scenic steeple]

so something here is wrong I don't know, I'm trying to get the current joker (Alt) to evolve into another joker (Devotion) once 1/4 of the deck are wild cards, it's evolving but not automatically, how can I make it happen right away?

[hidden sable]

how

[daring fern]

Find where it is in the code that does that, and patch it out.

[hidden sable]

...

i dont think ima do allat

[scenic steeple]

bruh

[daring fern]

card:set_ability("j_para_Devotion")

[hidden sable]

is there a way to save a bool value on the card

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hidden sable]

can i do it thru extras

[fading hemlock]

bump

[tribal kestrel]

SMODS.ObjectType ({
  key = 'type_areas',
  cards = {
    ["ave_area_uncommon"] = true,
    ["area_common"] = true,
    ["j_area_rare"] = true,
    ["j_ave_area_legendary"] = true
  }
})

c1_1 = SMODS.create_card({set = "type_areas"})

Am I missing something? I figured at least one of them would show up but it's not, just showing a default joker

[daring fern]

Are those rarities?

[tribal kestrel]

no those are joker keys

they're all different because I'm trying to see what works haha

[daring fern]

The first 2 are missing the j_ prefix then.

[tribal kestrel]

the bottom 2 aren't showing up either though

I think only the bottom one has the correct key

[vague crest]

is there a big database somewhere of all the joker functions? so i dont have to look for like another mod that draws cards face down for example

[daring fern]

Yes, the lovely dump.

[tight notch]

how would i make this check if it's been played before scoring or something? because when testing it gives the mult for every card because we just played it

[umbral zodiac]

omg its me

[daring fern]

Check in context.before then give it a flag, then check for that.

[tight notch]

how would i do that ? stupidhammer

[sturdy monolith]

there's no way you just saw a screenshot of a cryptid mod developer explicitly saying that the deck merges the 2 cardareas and just said "no it's not merging it's replacing"

[sturdy monolith]

.

[daring fern]

if context.before then
    for k, v in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        if v.ability.played_this_ante then
            v.flaggggggggggggggggged = true
        end
    end
end

[tight notch]

ty

[vale glen]

Hm... By one definition, merging the two Cardareas would mean referring to the same CardArea by G.jokers and by G.consumeables, while by another definition it's just setting one area to nil and putting relevant cards in the other area. Hrm.

What if you play a booster pack like a playing card

Merge the shop area and the playing card deck

[daring fern]

If it doesn't have basic playing card properties the game with crash.

[vale glen]

Awh

[sturdy monolith]

ccd deck in cryptid does something like this

[vale glen]

Ooh

[sturdy monolith]

but with consumable playing cards

instead of booster packs

by making one cardareas card type compatible with those of another and making both of those areas hold each others card type you have, by definition, merged them

[vale glen]

Was thinking of, like, buying a booster pack not opening it, but just adding it to deck like a playing card. Then having the properties of every card that would normally be in it, but as a playable card.

[vale glen]

Mmh, that's a reasonable definition.

[sturdy monolith]

again, ccd deck does just this

[vale glen]

How yay

[daring fern]

card:set_ability("p_arcana_jumbo")

[sturdy monolith]

it lets you play consumables as playing cards as well as letting you use the effects of the consumable half of the card from the deck

[fading hemlock]

bump

[tight notch]

does the same thing

[daring fern]

Try context.press_play instead of context.before

[snow vale]

i think it's time to organise my mod

[iron orchid]

https://github.com/its-edalo/slay-the-jokers/issues/23

need some help getting proton to properly execute the stj uploader script, see my comment here

feel free to @ me if you figure anything out

[tight notch]

this happens

[daring fern]

Try G.hand.highlighted instead of context.scoring_hand

[tight notch]

is this for a specific mod or just balatro? because if it's base it works fine under GE 10-4

[iron orchid]

its for slay the jokers

I am trying to get it working for any version of proton

so any casual linux user can use it
