[thorn basin]

omg it was simpler than I thought, thank you so much, it works properly now

[manic rune]

wheres all the uhhh stuff to return that gives xmult stored?

like, xmult, x_mult, Xmult, allat

[faint yacht]

SMODS.calculation_keys?

[manic rune]

oh dang that exists?

thanks

[molten musk]

[primal terrace]

How would I check when other Jokers give Chips or Mult?

[crisp coral]

any mod made before 1.0.0 smods

[faint yacht]

context.post_trigger and (context.other_ret.chips or context.other_ret.mult)?
-# You may need to account for all these types of Chips and Mult giving.

...and you'll need to enable the optional feature of post_trigger, too.

[manic rune]

actually realized i can just do this

:3

[primal terrace]

Oh awesome, I never knew this was a thing

[manic rune]

looks much better now

[feral tree]

trying to create my first deck but i ended up in a overflowing sea of ben, It keeps repeatedly drawing the joker over and over everytime i run it

[manic rune]

you need to return true in func too

else it wont stop running

[feral tree]

thx

[hidden sable]

what do you call the area with the jokers in it

[faint yacht]

G.jokers

[hidden sable]

no like, outside of programming, what is that area called

becaise hand is your playing cards

played hand is your played cards

and "joker area" sounds boring

[faint yacht]

...why not reference them as Jokers held?

[hidden sable]

ture

but for example

if i wanted to reference them as

say a certain type of joker

needs to have is quanity specificied in the joker area

in decription

what would i say

like

right now i have

+mult for each other <joker> equipped

which i think works fine but it seems odd to use the word equipped

[faint yacht]

<type> Joker held

[hidden sable]

true

[hidden sable]

why is Joker not highlighted here lol

[molten musk]

can someone please tell me why does this trigger twice at end of round

[faint yacht]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hidden sable]

is this with calculate

[faint yacht]

context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and context.cardarea == G.hand?

[molten musk]

here whole code

[hidden sable]

why not use calc_dollar_bonus

its happening at the end of a round right?

just use calc_dollar_bonus

[light canyon]

OK, I just can wait 5 years

[hidden sable]

wiat nvm im stupid

thats a seal

mb gang 💔

[molten musk]

didnt work

stoped giving money

[wintry solar]

Why can’t you use lovely and smods?

[faint yacht]

🏴‍☠️

[faint yacht]

if context.end_of_round and not (context.individual or context.repetition) and context.cardarea == G.hand?

[hidden sable]

try if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers then

[west prism]

is there some easy way to prevent a modded tag from being duplicated by double tag?

[molten musk]

nope

[faint yacht]

Remove the cardarea then?

[molten musk]

?? joker area?? why??

[hidden sable]

idk

[wintry solar]

Like I said before, it’s because the check you are doing is the same as the first one, it’ll never reach the second block

[molten musk]

no

[molten musk]

so i need to change it

[hidden sable]

oh yeah i just realized its 2 of the same check

just run the first check at the top

the one at the bottom

then put your bottom code as an elswe

and put the rest in an if statmenet

for the other stuff

just without the first check

anyways yall know how to change a jokers sprite

[wintry solar]

Move the number of consumables check inside the first statement, then have the dollars there too, I can type it up if you’re still struggling in about thirty minutes

[molten musk]

will try

[hidden sable]

basically my solution but the other way around

[wintry solar]

No because putting an else will mess it all up

[hidden sable]

why?

actually wait i see now

yall do not take my advice ever

😭

[molten musk]

thats true

[molten musk]

u tried to help

so thx

[hidden sable]

anyways

like inside a calc

[molten musk]

i dont sadly

[native zinc]

yeah

let me pull it up

[faint yacht]

card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = 0, y = 0})

[native zinc]

@hidden sable

[hidden sable]

yall both have the same solution but for different problems

[hidden sable]

this works fine, i think idk i havent tried yet im compiling sprites into a sheet

[manic rune]

that doesnt seem like what you would want to use in calculate 🤔

[native zinc]

this is not different problem

[native zinc]

this is in update because it's more effective than taking ownership in calculate

otherwise set_sprite_pos is fine

[molten musk]

like this??

[native zinc]

context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card = card will never trigger?

[molten musk]

i figured that out after it stoped working lol

[native zinc]

drop the context.cardarea

[molten musk]

here is the original code before modifing it lua SMODS.Seal { key = 'GoldBlue', pos = { x = 0, y = 0 }, atlas = "Seals15_atlas", badge_colour = G.C.BLUE, config = { extra = { h_money = 2 } }, calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card == card and #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1 G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ trigger = 'before', delay = 0.0, func = function() if G.GAME.last_hand_played then local _planet = nil for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Planet) do if v.config.hand_type == G.GAME.last_hand_played then _planet = v.key end end if _planet then SMODS.add_card({ key = _planet }) end G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0 end return true end, })) return { message = localize('k_plus_planet'), colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Planet } end if context.end_of_round and not (context.individual or context.repetition) then return{ dollars = card.ability.seal.extra.h_money } end end }

it works correctly for most part except money triggers twice at the end

[molten musk]

this was suggested so im trying to figure out how to do it

[molten musk]

why?

[fierce frost]

the joker keeps crashing the game when loading, it specifies line 92, so i assume it goes for lines 97, 102, and 107

[native zinc]

basically I'd like to start asking what you think it does

oh this is a seal

[hidden sable]

why the joker look weird

like the right half is cut off and theres a weird line on the left

[native zinc]

i don't think seals count in card area

[molten musk]

checks in which area the card is?

[worthy stirrup]

Check the sprite sheet, it seems to be 3 pixel off to the side

[molten musk]

my code is basically copy paste blue seal code

[wintry solar]

So this will give the planet, I’d change that return to SMODS.calculate_effect({table}, card) and then add the dollars return after it

[molten musk]

the thing is, i tried running it with that code "the one in the pic" , it didnt work

it even stoped giving planets

[native zinc]

return completely ends your code

so you shouldn't be returning so early

[wintry solar]

Move the buffer update to after the card limit check

[molten musk]

ok one sec

[wintry solar]

Oh

Delete that random return dollars in the middle too

[molten musk]

like this?

[floral narwhal]

how can i enter the shop? somthing like G.GAME.shop:enterShop() ?

[wintry solar]

That looks better, the bit you’ve cropped off though is important too 😂

[molten musk]

oh

thats what i cropped

[native zinc]

still multiple returns

[molten musk]

i will delete it after u tell me where to put the money

[molten musk]

only one?

the return true

[native zinc]

the return true is fine

[hidden sable]

WHYS THIS JOKER BEING WEIRD

[native zinc]

your asset texture is wrong

[hidden sable]

IT MEASURES AT THE CORRECT SIZE???

[native zinc]

yes but it's clearly not aligned

[floral narwhal]

check atlas

[native zinc]

move it so it aligns with the atlas specified

[wintry solar]

So the return for the planet here needs changing to calc effect, then put the dollars return directly underneath it

[hidden sable]

SAME SIZE

[native zinc]

i know it's the correct size

it's positioned wrong

[molten musk]

this thing SMODS.calculate_effect({table}, card)

[hidden sable]

wdym

[wintry solar]

Yes

Where table is whats currently in the return

[floral narwhal]

your atlas like:SMODS.Atlas{
key = 'minty',
path = 'tarot.png',
px = 71,
py = 95,
}

[native zinc]

it's misaligned to the grid

[native zinc]

this is not the issue

[hidden sable]

what does that mean!!

[molten musk]

like this...?

[floral narwhal]

how about pos?

[native zinc]

it means ya gotta move it... just move your whole card art a few pixels left

actually you probably have to move it up too

[wintry solar]

No that’s not at all where it should be

[wintry solar]

This one

[molten musk]

oh

[fierce frost]

bump

[fierce frost]

actually wait it scores and doesnt crash now but the stuff isnt scaling

[native zinc]

pseudorandom('seed', 1, 4)

[molten musk]

is this it?

[hidden sable]

the padding is PART of the 71x95

[wintry solar]

The word table should be whatever was in the return before

[native zinc]

yeah

[fierce frost]

ok wait it works now but it crashes like this

[floral narwhal]

?

[fierce frost]

this is at the end of round btw (i feel context may have been important)

[molten musk]

u mean the return True?

[fierce frost]

and here is the code for the joker

[native zinc]

drop the context.card_area in the first if

also please use elseif

[fierce frost]

like this?

[native zinc]

you should pseudorandom these bits too

[native zinc]

no need for ends in elseif

if then elseif then elseif then end

[molten musk]

so the planet part is working, money part is not working again

[wintry solar]

No the message stuff

[native zinc]

by the way the multiple colour = in your first return does nothing

just remove all of that

[hidden sable]

the normal texture looks fine

AND NOW THE NEW TEXTURE IS FINE??

WHAT???

IT JSUT FIXED ISTELF??

[native zinc]

did you just forget to close and reopen the game after making changes

[hidden sable]

i reloaded atlases using debugplus

[native zinc]

cool

[hidden sable]

i guess that was the issue

[molten musk]

my brain

[fierce frost]

i've made the changes; it now crashes on startup

[native zinc]

your endofround elseif block needs one end

your joker main one must be removed

[molten musk]

...

have been coding for hours now and my brain cant handle thinking at this point

[light canyon]

Because I don't use steam version of Balatro

[native zinc]

calculate_effect({message = 'coolbeans'} , card)

SMODS.calculate_effect*

[molten musk]

didnt eat lunch wanna finish this one cause if i go eat im not getting back

[fierce frost]

it is now saying that there is an issue i believe specifically here

[molten musk]

this,,,

[normal crest]

Which platform are you playing on

[light canyon]

I play without platform

[normal crest]

Balatro IRL

[wintry solar]

Yeah, I think it could actually do with being under add card, but this looks fine

[molten musk]

added planets

didnt give money ...

[wintry solar]

Can you show the full code again?

[molten musk]

oh and all cards with the seal show +1 planet message even if they dont have space to add planets

[hidden sable]

how can i make a calculate return send 2 messages

[wintry solar]

They should 100% give money if the message pops up

[hidden sable]

like 1 message saying "Fixed!" then another saying "+10 Mult"

[wintry solar]

Try creating a new card with the seal

[hidden sable]

is there a function that emulates a message i can call in a func

[molten musk]

created 10 cards

nothing

[wintry solar]

Add extra = {stuff here}

[hidden sable]

that, doesnt really help, im taking about the squares next to the cards with text

[hidden sable]

i want 2 to happen, one after the other

[wintry solar]

Are you running debug plus?

[molten musk]

yep

[wintry solar]

That’s exactly how you would do this?

[wintry solar]

Can you run this for me when hovering over a card eval dp.hovered.ability.seal

[fierce frost]

i have fixed one of the bugs, i have no clue here (i think it'd happen with any it tried to increase)

[molten musk]

where do i add that line...

or u mean in debug plas

[wintry solar]

Yeah in the console

[molten musk]

ok

[wintry solar]

Then screenshot what it prints out

[wintry solar]

And that doesn’t work?

[molten musk]

for some reason its not giving money

[wintry solar]

I have no idea then

[molten musk]

oh right need to add this

[wintry solar]

The code should work

No that’s not for you

[molten musk]

oh ok

[native zinc]

oh

actually aren't ya supposed to use ease_dollars() or something

[molten musk]

explain

[wintry solar]

No

You’re not

Let me get on my pc and see if I can figure it why it won’t work for you, can you paste the entire code?

[molten musk]

ok

[native zinc]

oh

}```

[native zinc]

@fierce frost you're straight up changing c.a.e.chips all the time

[fierce frost]

?

[fierce frost]

oops

fixed but i think the issue will still happen

[native zinc]

don't do pseudorandom in the config

change the _mod in the calculate

[fierce frost]

explain

[native zinc]

do card.ability.extra.chip_mod = pseudorandom(...) in the calculate

probably before c.a.e.chips = c.a.e.chips + c.a.e.chip_mod

[fierce frost]

so set chips_mod to zero in the config then actually change it in the calculate part

[native zinc]

yeah

[fierce frost]

now quick question, is it possible to make it choose from these six? (0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3)

this is for the xmult and xchips parts

[light canyon]

what is the maximum number of jokers you can get with mods? What am I losing?..

[native zinc]

i'd like you to think for a moment

pseudorandom('anyseedhere', 1, 6) * 0.05

[fierce frost]

i uhh may be not very smart

also does pseudorandom need a seed?

[native zinc]

yes

[fierce frost]

ah

[native zinc]

you should use the joker name

[fierce frost]

i may be not very smart

[native zinc]

i'm not exactly sure how you think pseudorandom would function without a seed

but you go mate

[fierce frost]

i just forgot to put one in and was wondering

[stiff quiver]

@fierce frost you can also do pseudorandom_element({0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3},pseudoseed("seed"))

[native zinc]

this is like saying you can also construct a house with tweezers and a jackhammer

[hidden sable]

is there any way to emulate message inside a function

[native zinc]

SMODS.calculate_effect({message = 'hi'}, card)

[fierce frost]

where there's a will there's a way

[native zinc]

pseudorandom_element basically just uses pseudorandom anyway

i mean whoa who knew right

especially since your list of numbers is the easiest thing to make you should not be doing pseudorandom_element shenaniganary

[fierce frost]

anyways i'm trying to fix the description of this to reflect the current amount

[daring fern]

You need loc_vars

[fierce frost]

oh like down at the bottom

[maiden phoenix]

#1# refers to the index of the returned var in loc_vars function

[fierce frost]

one sec

[native zinc]

aw yeah it's time to invoke the rite of passage

[hidden sable]

whats the wait function in this?
sleep()?
wait()?
await()?

[fierce frost]

like in here

[native zinc]

READ DOCS

i failed

there we go

[modern kindle]

a tragic play

[native zinc]

yeah, just add more

[maiden phoenix]

For example, here #1# would be card.ability.extra.chips

[native zinc]

vars = {1, 2, 3, 4}

[maiden phoenix]

#2# would be nil cuz you return only one variable

[native zinc]

there is none, to timing you need to do shenanigans

bascially events

[hidden sable]

alr well if its not easy ill just not add it then, i was gonna add a delay between my messages but its ight

[fierce frost]

i almost did that very wrong

my dumbass deadass almost tried this

[native zinc]

wow! don't worry you're still wrong

[daring fern]

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

[fierce frost]

wait wait the c.a.e.chips is a placeholder

[native zinc]

return { card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.xchips, card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.xmult }

[fierce frost]

cuz im just copy/pasting it dw (i say as i have done that before and forgotten to replace it)

[hidden sable]

what is delay, is it seconds?

[native zinc]

i think it's frames?

actually it probably isn't

[daring fern]

No.

[native zinc]

just duck around and find a good timing

that's what i do

[fierce frost]

how can i make the xmult and xchips have the funny boxes (like in the images shown)

[native zinc]

read docs

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling

[fierce frost]

v cool. ty

[tall wharf]

did someone say shenanigans

[obtuse silo]

is balanced calculated by adding the chips and mult together then dividing by 2, then ^2 the result?

and to add
does if balance == true then actually check if balance is enabled?

[daring fern]

No.

balance doesn't exist.

[obtuse silo]

oh right
you return "balance = true"
and that's not necessarily a variable

that can be used in functions at least

[wintry solar]

it just tells the score to be balanced

[obtuse silo]

ah right
but how would I check if the score is balanced?

[daring fern]

if hand_chips == mult?

[native zinc]

personally i'd just do if hand_chips == mult

[obtuse silo]

ok so
context.final_scoring_step does the balance part

[wintry solar]

what effect are you trying to create?

[obtuse silo]

joker that destroys itself when a single hand scores over a certain threshold

[wintry solar]

and why does that need to see if the score is balanced?

[fierce frost]

so it is increasing the stats multiple times (also not displaying a message when it upgrades but thats a later issue)

[wintry solar]

add and context.main_eval to the end of round check

[obtuse silo]

last time i brought it up i heard that it would happen before balance occurs
is that the case?

[fierce frost]

is it because it's technically the end of the round for a while

[wintry solar]

you need to use context.after if you want to check after all the scoring is done

[native zinc]

it ends of the round for every card in hand

[wintry solar]

yeah end_of_round has a few different contexts within it

[obtuse silo]

ah right
thanks

[native zinc]

and also all the jokers

[fierce frost]

ah

[obtuse silo]

would it still keep the values of hand_chips and mult in this context?

[fluid dove]

bump

[native zinc]

i don't see why not

[wintry solar]

yes it shbould do

[native zinc]

as long as you do it in add_to_deck and remove_from_deck i don't see an issue

[fierce frost]

anyways how can i make the scaling message

[fluid dove]

the main problem im thinking about is the order of operations, for instance, I want to do a flat increase, rather than a multiplication, if its just in add to deck and remove from deck, the alterations will depend on which jokers you get first, and then removing the bonus isnt commutative

[daring fern]

return {message = "message"}

[fluid dove]

like if i add +1 to all probabilities, then double, if I lose the +1 I cant just -1 from probabilities.normal to counteract it.

[formal parrot]

Message_card=card,

[formal parrot]

(Optional )

[wintry solar]

There’s currently a feature being worked on to make this a lot more accessible but I need some feedback from other people on it, you can see it in the smods pull requests if you’re interested

[daring fern]

‎

[fluid dove]

will check it out!

[manic rune]

sometimes i wonder if you are just asking yourself or you are genuinely asking if others know the answer 😭

[fierce frost]

ok so i've got it written, and it's crashing even though it's local

[daring fern]

Firstly, you need to return the message.

[native zinc]

...not how locals work

[fierce frost]

so i should not make the two local

[native zinc]

locals, are local. they only act within whatever "tier of code" you have them in

you need to declare the actual local above the if statement you define them in

local upgrade, plusincrease, xincrease = pseudorandom('snap!', 1, 4), pseudorandom('snap!', 15, 30), pseudorandom('snap!', 1, 6) * 0.05
if upgrade == 1 then
   card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + plusincrease
elseif ...

[fierce frost]

so uh where can i see the documentation for how to format this text?

[native zinc]

,,, you need to return a message with a colour

return {message = 'a', colour = G.C.MULT}

[fierce frost]

so i.e. here

[daring fern]

You can't format messages.

[fierce frost]

damn

[native zinc]

return a colour

[fierce frost]

so how can i make it say the variable

[native zinc]

return { message = '+'..xincrease..' Xmult' }

[hidden sable]

what causes this

[native zinc]

that's

[obtuse silo]

well
the scouter does destroy itself when you score over 9000
the issue is that context.after does it too quickly for my liking
perhaps i need to put something in the event queue

[daring fern]

Yes.

[native zinc]

this is like showing me a collapsed bridge and asking "what caused this"

how did this happen

what did you do

[hidden sable]

i dont know 😭

disabling my modded tag worked and the game started so ill take that

it was a test tag anyway

[manic rune]

why does this look funny

🥀

i think my humor is broken

[wintry solar]

show code

[obtuse silo]

it does function as intended
it's just event queue stuff

[wintry solar]

use SMODS.destroy_cards(card) instead

[hybrid shadow]

bump

[fluid dove]

Are you asking, how do I use github, or are you meaning, whats good practise for laying out a repo/release of a mod on github?

[pastel kernel]

joker tooltip won't show

[hybrid shadow]

both?

[fluid dove]

Github have a helpful guide for you to get used to how repos work, im assuming from the way you answered you havent used git before.

https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/start-your-journey/hello-world

the above is actually probably a little overkill for now but its good to learn proper version control.

as for setting up the page itself I dont know if theres a standard, but I saw the Prism mod's page the other day and it looks like a great example to follow on from

[hybrid shadow]

are there any files that would be important to create inside the mod itself (or should i just look at other mods for that)

[fluid dove]

I'm not quite sure what you're asking - though looking at how other people have structured their projects is a great way to learn :D

[hybrid shadow]

like .gitignore - do i have to make that separately?

[fluid dove]

ah okay! a .gitignore is a special file that git uses to see what it should and shouldnt track

so if you needed a file while you're working but it won't be used in the proper release, or it's something temporary you don't want to track changes to, you include that file in the .gitignore and your git won't track changes

[modern kindle]

not super particularly beyond what youve done for your mod in general, you can sepaate things for readability
its recommended if you dont to ahve a localization file

otherwise alot of people tend to do a format akin to this
where modules will have jokers.lua, consumables.lua, etc

or in the folder you can have a joker or etc folder with indiv files like kino does

i use github desktop and push everything that way, otherwise some stuff works as drakath is saying

[fluid dove]

+1 on github desktop, it's pretty user friendly

can make it a bit easier starting out rather than learning the CLI or general command structure

[thorn furnace]

is SMODS.Mods[mod].so_and_so immutable

[hybrid shadow]

yeah i split up my files into what object type they are in a src folder

[fallow condor]

how do I add/change something in a vanilla joker?

[fluid dove]

toml patches

I would guess

[hybrid shadow]

due to loading order i had to split up my consumables into 3 separate .lua files

[fallow condor]

😭, another thing I have to laern

sure

[fluid dove]

take what im saying with a pinch of salt since I dont have direct experience, but its basically cut and paste into the code the game is running

its how steamodded was built, bc you know, we have all these lovely apis to make programming easier, but somewhere along the lines it has to actually, get into the game

go look at the lovely github page for the documentation, it seems pretty straightforward if you know regex

and if not that's a great programming skill to learn!

[wintry solar]

you don't need to know regex at all

[fluid dove]

really? is it it's own thing?

I'm still slowly working my way through the codebase to try and understand how you wizards did it, apologies if i'm spreading misinformation by accident!

[fierce frost]

how do you open the debugplus menu?

[fluid dove]

hold tab is the default iirc

[thick needle]

Can someone help me with my faullty code?

[thorn furnace]

I can't use the 5.2+ features 😔

[fierce frost]

how can i destroy a joker?

[quick scarab]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/issues/15

[modern kindle]

simply put in 5.2 smile

[final goblet]

hi! just to make sure

how exactly does one calculate the soul_pos coordinates?

if considering single non-atlas sprite

[quick scarab]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/issues/16

[formal parrot]

@thick needle

Here

[thick needle]

ok gimme a sec

[formal parrot]

Can you tell me what do you want it to do aswell

[thick needle]

The joker is suppost to give 1$ for each current joker

like abstract + golden

(at the end of the round)

[formal parrot]

Okay i’m sadly not on my pc can you send me a screenshot of the code

[thick needle]

ok i didnt know you werent on pc

[quick scarab]

Is that the real Mr.Tenna

[thick needle]

Coming straight from your house, Coming straight from YOUR house. He's the one, THE KING OF ONLY! He's GROOVY and NEVER glooby! You cant get this from an EGG! The sensation of your screen, the show that makes you scream. Say it with him, folks! Mr. (Ant)Tenna's TV TIME!!!

[wind steppe]

use the metadata files not steamodded headers

[formal parrot]

I fear (That doesn’t help them )😭

[wind steppe]

yeah but it’s good practice

(Translation: I’m taking psychic damage as we speak)

[formal parrot]

I think everyone should take a look at the wiki and understand stuff but the wiki doesn’t tell you everything lol

Like how to add cards / jokers

[thick needle]

I think this is the crash

[wind steppe]

Does Tax Collector.png actually exist?

[formal parrot]

Okay i see

Can i see the code now

[proud depot]

old header check the smod api page

[formal parrot]

( I can’t see the code ) is he using an old header ?

[proud depot]

yeah

[formal parrot]

That summarizes it

[proud depot]

you make a new .json file for it

[thick needle]

and thats the code

[wind steppe]

Also change your prefix

xmpl is a bad idea

[thick needle]

why is xmpl bad?

[wind steppe]

are you coding in notepad

[wind steppe]

used by a lot of example mods

[thick needle]

No in visual studio

[wind steppe]

Get a lua extension

[formal parrot]

Why’s it light lol

[thick needle]

I have a lua extention

[formal parrot]

I think the path of your image is incorrect tho

[thick needle]

Its easier to show in notepad because i can zoom out

[proud depot]

use this for reference https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod

[formal parrot]

Also you’s missing a variable in loc_vars

And you didn’t include the variables in loc_text by #1# and #2#

@thick needle

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

This is a good resource for reference

Look for abstract joker and edit the variables , add atlas , loc_txt and you’ll be fine

And change context

From context.joker_main to end of round i think

Golden joker has the context you need

[simple helm]

anyone knows why the jokers dont have the eternal sticker?

[wild escarp]

How would I create tags based on their position in the collection?

[hybrid shadow]

hell yeah finally posted

[fierce frost]

it's giving a nil value error and i'm not quite sure why

[wintry solar]

this is easily fixed by uninstalling talisman

[fierce frost]

but i need talisman for a different joker

[wintry solar]

🤷‍♂️

[lament agate]

so like this>

[manic rune]

:3 idk if its colour or colours

but that looks right, i think

[pure salmon]

how do you debuff cards before scoring? (not perma)

[manic rune]

debuff them in your joker's calculate, and hook to end_round() to debuff them probably

[pastel kernel]

where do i post my mod?

[plain apex]

#1209506514763522108

[pastel kernel]

to everyone i mean, not just here

[plain apex]

oh most people use github

[sturdy monolith]

@thorn furnace still having the same problem even with the new update script
though i think this time it's exclusive to my mod
you might wanna add a check for if the mod directory isn't empty
the script doesn't work if a native library is loaded

for now I'll just unrequire the lib in a hook to the restart game method

even that doesn't work 😭

[sturdy compass]

Your shit be royally fucked

[sturdy monolith]

anyways, time to make a Future Funk joker

[sturdy compass]

PEAK

[sturdy monolith]

time to play a 4m 12s hard demon just to get a cool screenshot 🔥

[sturdy compass]

😭

[sturdy monolith]

luckily I'm good at gd so it'll only take me like 3 attempts lol

[thorn furnace]

That confuses me quite a bit
I even put in the code to rename the folder to the correct folder if it didn't work right

[sturdy monolith]

nah it's not your fault this time, it's because native libraries don't get unloaded until everything using it is unloaded to avoid corruption and stuff

[thorn furnace]

O

Wait your mod directory is empty?

[sturdy monolith]

ye but yk how Windows sometimes doesn't let you delete certain things because they're still in use by a process or whatever?

[thorn furnace]

Yea

[sturdy monolith]

that's why it's not working for my mod, since my mod uses a native library instead of Lua for some stuff

[thorn furnace]

Yea that'll do it

Lua/json/toml just ends up in the cache so it can be deleted while you're in-game

[sturdy monolith]

exactly, so I'll just have to stick with a non-automatic update script lol

[faint yacht]

For extra tabs beyond the config one, it's this, ye?

return {
  { label = '1', tab_definition_function = dummy1() },
  { label = '2', tab_definition_function = dummy2() },
}

[spice wadi]

Should be

[thorn furnace]

In the future I'll add a compatibility check

[sturdy monolith]

i mean you could probably just recursively check for any dll/so/dylib files in the destination path before trying to download the update zip

[thorn furnace]

Yea

[sturdy monolith]

tenna plays balatro???

[sturdy compass]

Apparently

Even the email hater cannot resist

[faint yacht]

...uh, oops.

[sturdy monolith]

finished my future funk recording, now to just convert the mp4 to a spritesheet

done

[snow vale]

what do i return here so i can only use the consumeable if im playing the blind?

[faint yacht]

G.GAME.blind.in_blind iirc?

[snow vale]

okk

[faint yacht]

...I need to put a function into the function? Weird.

[manic rune]

do mods with lower priority load earlier or later than mods with higher priority

just to be sure

[faint yacht]

Lower earlier, high later.

[manic rune]

i see

[sonic cedar]

So, I'm trying to work around my joker's set_ability function using the base atlas when it comes to using the abilities of, well, basegame jokers. Patching into card.lua doesn't seem to work, so now the method is hooking into DrawStep. Does anyone know enough about DrawStep to tell me why this doesn't replace the atlas my Joker uses with the actual atlas it should be using? (Note this is a sort of fodder joker designed to act as a costume for a different joker. If you've been around my questions long enough, you know what this is about.)

[sonic cedar]

-# (also yes i have the edition and debuff versions)

[obtuse silo]

having an issue where my tags don't work with a localization file

[sonic cedar]

did you format ur file right

[wintry solar]

You’re trying to make it disguised as a different joker right?

[sonic cedar]

yes, but i have another atlas that makes the fact that it's fake a little more obvious. otherwise itd be impossible to tell, which is... not fun for anybody

[obtuse silo]

yeah
it's working with literally everything else
except for tags

[wintry solar]

Mod prefix missing

[sonic cedar]

modpref- yeah

[obtuse silo]

ohhhhh

[wintry solar]

My chameleon joker adds the sprite it’s copying as the front of the card, maybe that would help?

[sonic cedar]

isnt front for playing cards though?

or do you mean the general usage of the word "front" and im overthinking

[sturdy compass]

I mean technically every card object has a front

Just not every card uses it

[pulsar furnace]

why when I use Card() and I put {playing_card = any number} it crashes?

[manic rune]

is it possible to add this to all the Yggdrasil.Material centers?

[sonic cedar]

dont you need a :get_id() here or no
actually no what are you trying to do

[obtuse silo]

infoqueue doesn't work

[pulsar furnace]

if i remove playing_card it doesn't crash

[wintry solar]

Front is just a layer in front of the base of the card

You can use it for anything

[sonic cedar]

so it doesnt matter that front isnt in here, id still use it?

[sonic cedar]

what's this for

[pulsar furnace]

collection ui

[sonic cedar]

ahhhh

i know literally nothing about collection ui

[wintry solar]

You don’t need a drawstep I don’t think

Just create the front sprite in your set ability

[sonic cedar]

ok uh

[sonic cedar]

will that still work in this case or

[sturdy compass]

Set should be “Tag”

[wintry swallow]

does this crash cause application cant handle

[wintry solar]

I have no idea what you’re showing me here 😂

[obtuse silo]

it did not work

[sturdy compass]

The key should also be the full key

[sonic cedar]

IGNORE THE EXCEPTIONS BIT (those are separate jokers that have their own effects other than "activate it like normal")
the two ijiraq variables are like sendouts to check whether or not the card is a costume/ a faker
and then it just uses set ability to pick a joker based off a key "jkey"

but yeah how would i "front" in this case if possible

[sturdy compass]

I just realized you’re trying to infoqueue onto a tag oml

I’m so sorry

[obtuse silo]

why?

[sturdy compass]

Cuz the tag set was a red herring lol

[obtuse silo]

yeah
it's a booster being infoqueued onto a tag

just like charm tag

[sturdy compass]

In reality you can switch the table for G.P_CENTERS[“p_prefix_megamintconditionpack”]

[wintry solar]

so this function is just choosing a random joker for any of these cards to pretend to be?

[sonic cedar]

it's just this one joker pretending to be any of the others, but yes

[wintry solar]

and it's supposed to change every round?

[sonic cedar]

no, same costume just for the whole run rn, eventually need to set it to every ante

once i remember/figure out how to do that

[wintry solar]

isn't reset_game_globals called at the end of each round?

[sonic cedar]

oh god is it

[wintry solar]

anyway, you want it to always be the same when it appears in the shop, right?

or different per ante eventually

[sonic cedar]

this one
including if you already have it so you can watch it change to no avail

[obtuse silo]

just checking you typed that correctly
references to base game items just use a . followed by the reference

[wintry solar]

okay well lets start with it being the same for the entire run for now

[sonic cedar]

does the run_start not
do that

[sonic cedar]

i asked this, forgetting the variable's name literally includes the words current_round solely so i dont forget this

[obtuse silo]

nvm
what you said worked perfectly

[wintry solar]

in your reset_game_globals function you'd probably want something like

if run_start or G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states.Boss == 'Defeated' then
    -- set your key for the sprite here
end```

that should only udpate at the end of each ante

[sturdy compass]

Hell yeah

For future reference, the . and the [“”] work essentially the same

[sonic cedar]

alright that's in there now thanks

[sonic cedar]

was this by using set_sprites because that uh
that doesn't work (hence trying to find the workarounds)

[wintry solar]

okay so now in set_ability you want something like this card.children.front = Sprite(self.T.x, self.T.y, self.T.w, self.T.h, G.ASSET_ATLAS[G.P_CENTERS[KEYREFERENCEHEREPLS].atlas], G.P_CENTERS[KEYREFERENCEHEREPLS].pos)

and then this too

card.children.front.states.hover = card.states.hover
card.children.front.states.click = card.states.click
card.children.front.states.drag = card.states.drag
card.children.front.states.collide.can = false
card.children.front:set_role({major = card, role_type = 'Glued', draw_major = card})```

I think that'll work

[sonic cedar]

[wintry solar]

it won't switch at the end of each ante yet but we can do that later

[sonic cedar]

real

[wintry solar]

just see if this works first

[sonic cedar]

should these be before or after anything

in the [function](#💻・modding-dev message) i mean

[daring fern]

‎

[simple helm]

how can i apply a gold seal to the first card scored? im trying everything, but nothing works...

[chrome widget]

What does context.check do for the debuff_hand context?

[scarlet imp]

something like context.scoring_hand[1]:set_seal("Gold", nil, true)

pretty sure Lua indexes starting at 1

[simple helm]

yeah, it works perfect

thanks :D

[scarlet imp]

np

[mossy helm]

Good afternoon Good People of modding dev! I was curious if it'd be possible to make this idea I had
I came up with this joker called "Drawn Joker", it's effect is that it would scale +2 chips when a card is drawn from the deck. That would include not only during a Blind, but also when you open Arcana or Spectral packs

[wintry solar]

I donj't think it matters

[sonic cedar]

oh ok let me do it rq then

[daring fern]

Yes.

[mossy helm]

how come?

[violet void]

Hello this might be an advanced question and I'm having some issues with the unlocked sprites for my custom cards

It used to work a few months ago with the current code but after updating smods, these cards show the normal sprites even if they are locked

Is someone able to point me to the right direction? Ty

[mossy helm]

How would you achieve that? Would I need to check every time the action to draw a card is made? How can I check that?

[sonic cedar]

is this right

[wintry solar]

the part in the centers is wrong

you need it to reference that value in G.GAME you created

[sonic cedar]

ohhhh ok

[wintry solar]

oh maybe all those selfs in it should be card too

[sonic cedar]

got it

[sonic cedar]

the current round one right?

[wintry solar]

yeah

[sonic cedar]

fixing

[scarlet imp]

A cheaty way you could do it during blinds in have it scale like this:
card.ability.chips = card.ability.chips + math.max(0, #G.hand.cards - num)
you've use the variable num to count how many cards were played in the previous hand
as for Arcane/Spectral packs, the only way I could think of is checking whenever G.hand exists and scaling the joker depending on how many cards were in it

the code is probably wrong but that's the vibe of it lol

[vague crest]

whats the part of a joker's code that causes the money increase to pop up where the joker is? similar to to-do list

[sonic cedar]

fixed?

[wintry solar]

yeah give it a go

[sonic cedar]

alright here we go 🙏

[scarlet imp]

what context should I use to find when another Joker is removed? I know context.card_added is used for adding, is it just context.card_removed for removing?

[sonic cedar]

so i uh
cant spawn it now

[sonic cedar]

pretty sure you're gonna have to hook into Card:remove

[wintry solar]

run an eval G.GAME.current_round.fodder_card.jkey

[wintry solar]

I am planning on adding a joker destruction context

[scarlet imp]

Well I would need to account for Jokers sold as well for my purposes

My idea is the Joker gives +1 Hand for every uncommon Joker, similarly to Baseball card. I can use context.card_added when you get an Uncommon Joker, but I need to be able to tell when you lose them as well to remove excess hands

[sonic cedar]

it's smiley face rn

[chrome widget]

thank youuuuuu I can finally replace mine

[wintry solar]

but what does it actually say

[sonic cedar]

j_smiley

[scarlet imp]

waittt can I copy your homework

[wintry solar]

oh ofcourse

vanilla doesn't have an atlas woops

[sonic cedar]

lmfao

[wintry solar]

after the .atlas put or 'Joker'

[chrome widget]

If you want but if eremel's gonna put in an official one you might want to wait

[scarlet imp]

I guess, yeah, I just don't like waiting lol. Been waiting months for Blue Stake to get changed already

[chrome widget]

function Card:start_dissolve(dissolve_colours, silent, dissolve_time_fac, no_juice)
    local ret = ref_card_dissolve(self, dissolve_colours, silent, dissolve_time_fac, no_juice)

    if self.area and self.ability.set == 'Joker' then
        SMODS.calculate_context({joker_removed = self})
    end

    return ret
end```

[sonic cedar]

it spawns, but that is

basegame sprite

[wintry solar]

🤔

[scarlet imp]

is there a context for Joker scaling? Or is that something I'll need to implement myself

[chrome widget]

As someone who has done multiple things with joker scaling: absolutely not

[chrome widget]

What do you need to do with joker scaling?

[scarlet imp]

I want to make a Joker that gets +2 chips when another Joker scales, or something along those lines

Would I just have to search for this Joker in the calculate of Jokers that scale to activate it manually?

[sonic cedar]

anything i could be missing?

[pure salmon]

how do i check with a seal/enhancement whether a playing card is about to be destroyed

[wintry solar]

it works for me 🤔

wait

I think I have misunderstood

you have a different atlas right?

[sonic cedar]

yes

[wintry solar]

I see

is it the same size as the vanilla atlas?

[sonic cedar]

iiiit

hm

let me look

it should be

considering i just

went over the vanilla atlas

[chrome widget]

You'd have to do some interesting hacks with metatables as I had to

[wintry solar]

yewah that'll be fine then

[chrome widget]

I.E. your joker creates proxies of various tables on all your other jokers, and sets/unsets them as needed to maintain decent functionality

[wintry solar]

so that place we added or 'Joker' just change the entirety of that bit to whatever your atlas key is

[sonic cedar]

it ends at castle right

(making sure i didnt crop it or something)

[wintry solar]

yes

[sonic cedar]

ok cool we're finw

[sonic cedar]

so or atlaskey?

[wintry solar]

nah the whole thing

[sonic cedar]

oh ok

[zealous glen]

Can it do other cards too

[sonic cedar]

oh so what i had before then lmao

[wintry solar]

yeah but with the modprefix

[wintry solar]

I suppose it can be used on consumables yeah

[sonic cedar]

oh TRUE

ok check

[wintry solar]

what's the set_ability line for?

that will just actually change the joker

[sonic cedar]

so it can change into the exceptions

[wintry solar]

I see

yeah that looks okay

[sonic cedar]

cause otherwise itll change into the non-exception version of the joker yeah

ok testing

oh my god

naming my kid eremel

[gilded magnet]

Hi, I want to make/contribute to a balatro mod. I can code and have looked at steammodedd and that stuff. However, I was unable to find resources explaining how to add fancy/custom joker behavior like every consumable being replayed or a card being destroyed/modified. Can yall help?

[mossy helm]

I couldn't find any base game jokers with a similar effect so I'm not sure where to search 😔

[gilded magnet]

to be clear, I looked at code of a mod and was unable to comprehend what is going on in that darn jokers.lua file

[pulsar furnace]

How do you make the card below not look shadowed? Do I create another card above it or what?

[gilded magnet]

Also, should I ask this in #⚙・modding-general instead?

[pure salmon]

why does this seal never activate and copy itself?

[sonic cedar]

uh oh (this one hasnt been changed yet i dont know what's happening here)

[gilded magnet]

Where even is the red seal in that code snippet?

copy_card:add_to_deck()?

[wintry solar]

you're actually changing the card to be the other joker, right?

[sonic cedar]

wdym

[lucid owl]

is rank not meant to be a string?

[wintry solar]

like, it's not your custom joker with a pretend skin on, it's actually the other joker

[pure salmon]

red seal? this is a custom seal

[sonic cedar]

yesish
it's taking the ability of the og joker
and then disguising itself using the special atlas

[wintry solar]

I have made this ridiculously complex for no reason 🤣

[sonic cedar]

MAN 😭

ok but it's
sort of working?

it's just that if the card uh

doesnt conform to regular shape im guessing?

[wintry solar]

try using this instead

card.children.center.sprite_pos = G.P_CENTERS[G.GAME.current_round.fodder_card.jkey].pos
card.children.center.atlas.name = 'hpfx_IjiraqJokers'
card.children.center:reset()

[sonic cedar]

just paste over everything?

that i had put before

[wintry solar]

yeah

[sonic cedar]

got it

[broken cliff]

to destroy a card u can check for context.destroy_card

[wintry solar]

I think this should respect the size too

[broken cliff]

and return the card u need to destroy

[pure salmon]

does context.main_eval just not work on seals

[sonic cedar]

all good?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

As I have said previously it only works on cards in joker areas.

[violet void]

I thought the set on the cards wasnt working but even just checking if they're undiscovered doesn't work ... :( is it handled somewhere else?

[pure salmon]

well with main_eval this seal does nothing and without it the game crashes

[daring fern]

Log?

[pure salmon]

no log

hard crash, not responding

[wintry solar]

probably in the draw steps

[pulsar furnace]

Can someone help me add a page in Galdur?

[pure salmon]

ok i might just be stupid but how do i get a seal to do somthing when the card it's on scores

[sonic cedar]

hell yeah

now ive just gotta shop test

[normal dune]

how can i do a joker actives like bloodstone(the probability part)?

[cobalt vector]

how can I detect if a blind is beaten in one hand?

[simple helm]

if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 1 then

srry, copypaste :P

[cobalt vector]

if I want it to happen to all blinds, I'd just need to remove G.GAME.blind.boss, right?

[wintry solar]

oh it needs to update each ante too right?

[simple helm]

yea

i though it was only in boss blind, more balanced

[sonic cedar]

eeeyep

[wintry solar]

it should be as simple as looping over the jokers, finding the disguised ones, and calling the set_ability again

[cobalt vector]

The joker I want to do gives X0.25 mult once when blind is beaten in one hand, but with this code it adds X0.25 multiple times, instead of just once

[sonic cedar]

ok but where would i do that

[normal dune]

how can i do a joker actives like bloodstone(the probability part)?

[wintry solar]

oh, in the reset game globals bit

after you update the key

[simple helm]

try context.blind_defeated instead of end_of_round

[sonic cedar]

oh ok

[cobalt vector]

now it just doesn't work

[thick needle]

can someone help with faulty code?

[simple helm]

if doesn't work, you can attach it with glue. Make an extra variable called "applied = true", and set it to false in the end_of_round

[cobalt vector]

I did that with a previous joker and it worked, but when I tried to do it this time it wasn't working.

I'll try again tho

[simple helm]

then make it true again with an if context.setting_blind then

[violet void]

cant seem to make it work again

do you remember if you changed anything about undiscovered sprites recently

[simple helm]

i dont like this, but it is what it is :P

[cobalt vector]

would I put the extra variable in the config?

[simple helm]

yeah

like this

      extra = {
           applied = false
    }
  },````

bruh, discord text styling is so bad lol

[scarlet imp]

is there a way I can text if other Jokers give chips? rn I have this:

if context.other_joker and context.other_joker.calculate ~= nil then
    local ret = context.other_joker:calculate(self, context.other_joker, context)
    if ret[chips] ~= nil or ret[x_chips] ~= nil then
        card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_mod
        return {
            message = localize("k_upgrade_ex"),
            colour = G.C.BLUE
        }
    end
end

but it no work

[wintry solar]

I can't think of anything

[snow vale]

how can check if the current blind is the boss blind inside use?

[violet void]

😭

[snow vale]

use 3 ` instead of 1, before and after the code

[violet void]

I just remember this used to work

[snow vale]

like this

[vague crest]

if i wanted to add mult and chips in the same joker how would i do that? this just crashes

[simple helm]

You mean 4

3 is without the remark

[sonic cedar]

is this right?

[violet void]

its 3

[snow vale]

what

yeah it's 3

4 wont work

[simple helm]

Lol I put 4 🗿

[snow vale]

oh

[simple helm]

Mobile dc I suppose lol

[scarlet imp]

bump

[snow vale]

bump

[daring fern]

if G.GAME.blind.boss?

[snow vale]

ok

[sonic cedar]

does G.GAME.bl-- what he said

[daring fern]

‎

[wintry solar]

it would need to be G.P_CENTERS.j_hpfx_jokerkey:set_ability(card) I think

[cobalt vector]

would something like this work?

[sonic cedar]

for _, card in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    if card.config.center.key == 'j_hpfx_costume' then
        G.P_CENTERS.j_hpfx_jokerkey:set_ability(card)
    end
end

like this? (funnily enough i was about to ask how i could just call the entire function)

[wintry solar]

oh the check is wrong too

because the cards have been changed

so the center.key would be j_smiley for example

[simple helm]

Yeah, that should work

[sonic cedar]

oh rightttt

[simple helm]

Try it and tell me

[cobalt vector]

now it just doesn't trigger

the adding xmult

[sonic cedar]

so what if i just
not

[simple helm]

It triggered before?

[wintry solar]

no, you set a flag on them before right? in the initial set_ability

[sonic cedar]

oh yeah duh i can jsut use that

[cobalt vector]

before I added the bool values, it triggered adding the xmult multiple times. Now with the bool value it just doesn't trigger

[simple helm]

Are you using debugplus? If you win a blind without playing any hand it doesn't trigger

If so, play a hand and win the blind

[cobalt vector]

I've been testing it by playing a hand and winning the blind

I haven't been using debugplus to win without playing a hand

[simple helm]

Idk what is causing the error

You can erase code to see if that is cuasing the error

Lol, I repeated myself

[sonic cedar]

isIjiraq goes off of the jkey, so i should check that right?

[wintry solar]

uhhh what was the set ability code again?

it was like card.isljiraq iirc

[sonic cedar]

or no, actually, since visibly gets set to true when it's added to the deck i should check that

[sonic cedar]

card.isIjiraq = (exceptions[G.GAME.current_round.fodder_card.jkey] == nil)
card.visiblyIjiraq = false

[wintry solar]

so check if card.isIjiraq

[sonic cedar]

and then there's this ofc

[sonic cedar]

thought so

[cobalt vector]

so I fixed it by just copying my code from a previous joker I made, and idk what I did differently

[sonic cedar]

thought i broke something but no i actually got banner three times in a row

[simple helm]

I think you should place the flag before all of the rest, right after the if

[daring fern]

‎

[sonic cedar]

forgot to change "jokerkey" to the actual key im an idot

[cobalt vector]

here's the code that worked

[simple helm]

Yeah, what I thought. Before the card_eval

[sonic cedar]

i can
i can add an animation to this right 😭

like i can still use an event here

[red flower]

if you don't want end_of_round to trigger multiple times you also need to check context.main_eval

[cobalt vector]

I mean it's working just fine now

[vague crest]

if i wanted to pick a random card and do something to it in full deck whats the process for that

i know how to affect things held in hand but the thing im trying to do requires being in the shop so that doesnt really work

[red flower]

it's just a very convoluted way to do the same thing

[wind steppe]

is there a way to check what mod a joker is from?

[sonic cedar]

it works, but not if it's one of the exceptions
how can i make it so it's like
"if the variable (card.isIjiraq) is true OR if the joker's key is in the table of exceptions?"

[red flower]

joker.config.center.mod.id iirc

maybe not .id

[cobalt vector]

It seems like using bool values doesn't work, but using numbers does, for some reason

[simple helm]

Lua being lua

[sonic cedar]

no it's id

[cobalt vector]

lua is great

[sonic cedar]

although isnt it other_joker or is this for the joker checking itself

[red flower]

joker as in the variable that holds the joker they want to check

[sonic cedar]

ahhh

[sonic cedar]

actually yeah way easier idea how can i check if a card's key is in a preexisting table? (something like if table contains 'key' then)

does the table have to be global for that to work actually

[wind steppe]

how do i check a joker's key?

[sonic cedar]

cause like i HAVE a table but it's local

[sonic cedar]

like in code or in debug

[wind steppe]

in code

[azure wraith]

which editor is this?
i notice it has a balatro theme

[daring fern]

card.config.center.key or card.config.center_key

[sonic cedar]

card.conf-im gonna get you

[sonic cedar]

vscode

[azure wraith]

you can make vscode look like that? woah

[sonic cedar]

i'm a masochist

[red flower]

if table[key] then

[azure wraith]

i use vscode for latex because it is the least bad option

[sonic cedar]

does this work even though the table's local to the joker

[red flower]

yes

[sonic cedar]

oh massive win

[sonic cedar]

so this is fine? (this is in the override file, which is why i was asking about locals)

[vague crest]

trying to figure out how to destroy a random card on rerolling the shop, any experienced people know if im on the right track?

[red flower]

as long as exceptions exists in the local scope

[red flower]

G.playing_cards

[vague crest]

ohhh my god is that what it is 😭

[red flower]

also make that a local variable

[sonic cedar]

[red flower]

are they both in the same function

[sonic cedar]

this is the function being called if the conditional is fulfilled yes

[hybrid shadow]

i cant wait to make "add dollar to card"

[red flower]

then they're not in the same scope, you need to make exceptions a global or copypaste it

[sonic cedar]

so take it out of the joker and put it in the main file instead (as a global)

[vague crest]

tysm omg it works beautifully

just gotta indicate which card actually got destroyed

[sonic cedar]

ok testing but also bumping related question

otherwise it just
happens which is

jarring

[wind steppe]

how do i check cards held in hand?

[cobalt vector]

how do I detect when a second passes in-game?

[vague crest]

i think this is something i feel like im getting close

[red flower]

what does it do now

[vague crest]

WAIT i removed context and it worked

what it did prior was crash 🔥 but it says the rank that it removed

[wind steppe]

what does pseudoseed do? i havent seen it before

[vague crest]

from my understanding its just lik,e a general randomness thing?

like it picks a random card and sets my variable to that card, and then destroys it

i think the pseudoseed in particular

waitttt i gotta test something

[red flower]

it processes the seed string, you used to need it for psudorandom_element until literally this last smods update

[vague crest]

YIPPEE it works with two of them

[wind steppe]

ive just been seeding my pseudorandom with strings (no pseudoseed)

is that bad

[red flower]

no

it does it automatically

pseudorandom_element didn't

[sonic cedar]

WHAT IS HAPPENING

[wind steppe]

play a hand

[wind steppe]

what happened to the misprint

[sonic cedar]

gone

[wind steppe]

how do i check a card's base suit?

[sonic cedar]

oh it fixed when i restarted

[daring fern]

‎

[sonic cedar]

card.base.suit

[sonic cedar]

i didnt even know we could do quantum seals

[chrome widget]

I love finding extremely niche bugs in SMODS and fixing them myself because my mod depends on them

[sonic cedar]

real

[chrome widget]

Well... this one is technically a vanilla bug that only becomes relevant when extended by SMODS

[daring fern]

I just copied what quantum enhancements did.

[sonic cedar]

d-does it work

[daring fern]

Yes, but only on playing cards.

[sonic cedar]

i mean yeah theyre seals

[red flower]

had the exact same experience with formatting in joker names

[daring fern]

I can guarantee that they would work on jokers if I knew where to patch it in.

[sonic cedar]

well card.lua has stuff about gold seals

actually yeah i think all the seal stuff is here

seems like only gold uses self.playing_card though

but that's probably cause it's for an unlock

[wind steppe]

why does this do nothing

[sonic cedar]

oops

[daring fern]

Is this a joker?

[wind steppe]

why is joker flat

[wind steppe]

yes

[daring fern]

context.cardarea == G.hand will never happen in context.before if it's a joker.

[wind steppe]

how would i check for cards in hand then?

[tight notch]

how do i unhook something so that when i stop playing on a deck the effect goes away?

[daring fern]

You add a condition?

[tight notch]

what condition would i use to check what deck you're on

[red flower]

G.hand.cards

[daring fern]

if G.GAME and G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == 'b_modprefix_key'

[plush depot]

anyone have reference booster pack code

[wind steppe]

this also does not work

[tight notch]

oh wait nvm

[plush depot]

boosters arent on there

ur good

[red flower]

i need more context

[wind steppe]

SMODS.Booster{
    key = 'creditpack',
    config = {extra = 1, choose = 1},
    atlas = 'Boosters',
    pos = { x = 2, y = 0 },
    create_card = function(self, card)
        return SMODS.create_card({area = G.pack_cards, no_edition = true, key = 'j_credit_card'})
    end,
    weight = 1,
    cost = 1,
    group_key = 'groupcreditpack'
}

[sonic cedar]

the size isnt resetting

[tight notch]

you can use mine ig

[tight notch]

https://github.com/scrimblobingus/scrimblomod/blob/master/items/packs.lua

[red flower]

yeah that's not what I meant
G.hand.cards is a list of cards held in hand

[plush depot]

what does the extra = mean

[wind steppe]

extra is how many cards are in the pack

[plush depot]

o

[wind steppe]

in my case its one

[tight notch]

on the topic of packs how do i get my group name to not return error?

[red flower]

weird that should work

are you defining a group_key elsewhere

[tight notch]

yes

[sonic cedar]

G.P_CENTERS.j_hpfx_costume:set_ability(card)

so this code will call the function in the image right?

[red flower]

delete that

[tight notch]

ah ok

[red flower]

afaik yes

[cobalt vector]

would it be possible for a joker to do a probability check every second while you have it?

[tight notch]

how do I check in a hook if you're playing on a certain deck?

[wind steppe]

what are you planning

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sonic cedar]

ok but the thing with that is
if the card is something like half joker, switching to a full size card just makes it

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[cobalt vector]

every second while you have this joker, there's a small chance it displays an image on screen

[wind steppe]

jumpscare?

[cobalt vector]

yes

[red flower]

i think thats a bug with set_ability

[sonic cedar]

how can i uh

fix that

if possible

[tight notch]

oh didnt see the message lol

[red flower]

idk :3

[sonic cedar]

[cobalt vector]

how would I do it then?
