[pallid sleet]

Tis a new day so Im hoping I can get this figured out today. I have this joker that I made to basically make two negative bubble jokers these jokers are my own custom ones though. Even with having prefix for the joker it crashes the game when it tries to work. Hlep

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind then
            SMODS.add_card({key = "j_loljk_Bubble", edition = "e_negative"})
            SMODS.add_card({key = "j_loljk_Bubble", edition = "e_negative"})
        end
    end

the JSON:

{
    "id": "silly_goofy_balatro_mod",
    "name": "SillyGoofyBalatroMod",
    "display_name": "Silly Goofy Balatro Mod",
    "author": ["blocky"],
    "description": "Made this for dopamine",
    "prefix": "loljk",
    "main_file": "main.lua",
    "badge_colour": "#078674",
    "badge_text_colour": "#ffffff",
    "version": "1.0.0"

@snow vale

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/EditionExamples/assets/shaders/ionized.fs

[snow vale]

ok

[formal parrot]

Check other people shaders

Aswell

1 second i have one more recourse

Ressource

FUCK

https://blogs.love2d.org/content/beginners-guide-shaders

Here

I wish you all luck

[snow vale]

ok tysm

[formal parrot]

Good advice

Check people’s shaders

And ingame shaders

Good resource would be ruby’s

Shaders in entropy

They’re advanced and look really cool

[formal parrot]

Use create card

Create_card

This is how i do it

New card =

[snow vale]

btw what language uses the shaders?

[formal parrot]

Emplace and add to deck at the end

[formal parrot]

F sharp and glsl

[snow vale]

oh

[hard mica]

does anyone know how i can give the player a random buffoon pack?

[formal parrot]

Tutorials may help

[snow vale]

ok

[sleek cliff]

so, im trying to localize only a specific set of jokers, but idk how to localize that

[pallid sleet]

Alright I’ll try it out thank you

[formal parrot]

Make a poll of tags that give packs

Pool*

And pseudorandom

[hard mica]

isnt there a easier way of doing it tho

[formal parrot]

🤷

That sound easy tho😭

Can’t think of anything else really

[hard mica]

damn

[formal parrot]

Idk

Look for references

I can’t really guide you here i don’t play modded , can’t think of a helpful resource

But my idea should work perfectly

@hard mica

[wild escarp]

Where is the ID of a played hand scored?

[formal parrot]

Make a local table

[tight hull]

so my texturepack mostly works but there are some black strips, does someone know how to get rid of them?

[formal parrot]

Locals packs={key1,key2,key3}

Variable =Math.random(#packs)

Add tag with the key in (packs[variable ])

[formal parrot]

What?

[formal parrot]

Your sprite sheet is wrong

It should look something like this

Every joker is separated with 2 pixels from others

[hard mica]

Do you know the keys of the Buffon packs?

[formal parrot]

Check vanilla remade

Remade of tags

[wild escarp]

I want to check and store the ID of a played hand so that I can check whether or not a certain hand has been played at the end of a round.

[hard mica]

They don't have tags.lua

[formal parrot]

Rip

[hard mica]

[tight hull]

I know but i cant make it wider, is there some way to change how the sheet is read?

or is it too complicated

[formal parrot]

Yes

Px=
py=

In your atlas

X is width and y is hight

[formal parrot]

Check code of card sharp

[tight hull]

where? (this code is mostly stolen bcs I know little to nothing abt coding)

its that bad?

[formal parrot]

You should

Can you show me the sprite sheet ?

[formal parrot]

Yup

I knew it

[tight hull]

aw man

[formal parrot]

Your cards are off centered

There’s no pixel separation between tarots

[tight hull]

from what i saw the original cards have an even number of pixels and mine have an odd one

[formal parrot]

Move them couple of pixels left and right

[tight hull]

should there be?

[formal parrot]

Depends on where the lines are

[formal parrot]

Preferably if you don’t want it to look like that

[tight hull]

you mean as horizontal separation or vertical

[formal parrot]

Every tarot takes

95x71

[pure salmon]

how do i check if the player is currently in a blind

[formal parrot]

Make sure they’re not taking each other spaces

Thats it

[formal parrot]

Seen someone doing this

Forgot

Lmao

[chrome widget]

huh bwuh

[tight hull]

nvm im stupid, when removing the background i left a black strip

between cards

[formal parrot]

Skull emoji

[pastel torrent]

??

[formal parrot]

Kms

[native zinc]

the British Museum called they want their ancient texts back

[chrome widget]

Genuinely I have no idea why you were @ed here. Sorry about that

[native zinc]

where the fuck did you steal from

[formal parrot]

Stealing code is legal

[tight hull]

uh

another texture pack

[formal parrot]

^w^ i can do my favorite hobby without the policemen going after me

[native zinc]

yes but it's stolen from somewhere that uses ancient smods

[formal parrot]

Holy shit bro have you been sailing the seas or something?😭

[tight hull]

wdym

[formal parrot]

(If it works )

[pastel torrent]

lol its okay

[formal parrot]

Sailing the seas = pirating /stealing

[native zinc]

no it doesn't im pretty sure this breaks

[manic rune]

oo those cards are cool, what media is this from? 🤔

[native zinc]

and also this isn't piracy

[formal parrot]

Nerd emoji

It does

[manic rune]

G.GAME.blind.in_blind or smt

[tight hull]

ahh

you should upgrade and just read from malverk

[manic rune]

6 months ago

😭

[formal parrot]

Holy balls

Balatro beta

[native zinc]

come on now stealing from archaeological sites is illegal

why have you done this...

[manic rune]

at least steal from new mods 😭

[formal parrot]

Thats my job

[manic rune]

stealing from old mods makes it hard for both you and other people 😭

[native zinc]

malverk literally had examples :p

[formal parrot]

Yo guys if it works

[manic rune]

nuh

[tight hull]

i didnt find any (the one that I stole worked so I didnt see the point)

[formal parrot]

We don’t touch it

She take my dinero chat

[native zinc]

well i still feel like pointing at rule 5

i sincerely doubt you can obtain permission from a beta mod dev

[candid sleet]

sorry for reply ping to super old message but could i use this in my mod and how do you get it to work? i'm messing around with it right now and i made it a .toml file and put it in Mods>Mod Name>lovely but i still can't get perishable to work

[wintry swallow]

oh perishable is not an edition

perishable is a sticker

[candid sleet]

ohhh right

[tight hull]

even if im making the mod for myself?

[candid sleet]

i thought this was for stickers for some reason my bad

[wintry swallow]

kinda fun how people keep coming back to my patches time and time again though lol

[formal parrot]

😭😭

[native zinc]

in some way that combos with rule 6

but if it's personal it's probably fine? i am not a lawyer

[primal robin]

Hey, I'm not seen you here for a while

[chrome widget]

For the record if anyone wants use my code they do not need my explicit permission because intellectual property is fake and stealing is cool

[primal robin]

gottem

[normal crest]

I wouldn't even call it stealing, more like duplicating

[chrome widget]

Correct

[worthy stirrup]

What happens if a mod shares a priority number with another mod?

[formal parrot]

I call it inspiration

[formal parrot]

Random go burrrr

[native zinc]

if anyone wants to use my code and/or art they are entitled to a 1 hour+ step-by-step lesson on how to recreate that code or art by themselves because i believe in the guarantee of education

[lament agate]

ghufehwichikewjocijoqd

fuck why isnt it working

[normal crest]

They get loaded in the order your filesystem finds them, most likely alphabetically

[worthy stirrup]

Ok thanks, I wanted to make sure I didn’t need to change the number

[pure salmon]

which argument in SMODS.Booster controls this bottom text

[snow vale]

why isnt this creating a negative playing card?

[native zinc]

is it not in docs

it's probably a loc txt thing right

[pure salmon]

oh it is in docs

group_name

[wintry swallow]

hihi

i'm not terribly active around here anymore but i still respond to queries

[chrome widget]

See like yeah I want people to get more knowledgeable but also do whatever man

[formal parrot]

Add shader btw

[tepid crow]

I don't suggest relying on filesystem ordering, that can lead to some weird bugs on other OSes

[stiff quiver]

hi, i was told a few hours ago to hook SMODS.calculate_context here for this to work, but i actually still have no idea of what im supposed to do lol. could i get a bit of help?

[native zinc]

just give the edition to the card separately

[pure salmon]

there is a shader on them (voucher) it's just subtle because of all the white on the card

[snow vale]

like, _card:set_edition('e_negative')?

[formal parrot]

N help the cute girl

[red flower]

use SMODS.add_card{set = "Base", edition= "e_negative"}

[red flower]

whom

[formal parrot]

.

[red flower]

what are you trying to do?

[native zinc]

duplicate cards with seal on destroy

[stiff quiver]

with a specific seal but yeah, that

[red flower]

sounds hard

[native zinc]

which more accurately means just add a copy to hand on destroy

it's difficult yeah

[formal parrot]

There’s no has_seal😭😭

[lament agate]

does anybody have the booster pack template?

[native zinc]

you can just get the seal key

[formal parrot]

Like

Code or assets

[lament agate]

assets

[native zinc]

but it would be useful to have has_seal() or has_sticker() at some point

[stiff quiver]

its not any seal its a seal whose ability is that when the card is destroyed it creates two copies of it

[wintry solar]

what are you trying to do?

[lament agate]

tyty

[native zinc]

_ _

[lament agate]

whats the atlas res btw

[native zinc]

@wintry solar

[stiff quiver]

this is what i want to do

[errant fulcrum]

Oh I gotta save this one (x826369)

[formal parrot]

Hony

[pure salmon]

71x95

[native zinc]

the seal check is probably easiest

[lament agate]

thanks

[chrome widget]

Oh dang this is really helpful. Thanks

[wintry solar]

this calculate function is within the seal, right?

[stiff quiver]

yeah

[pure salmon]

they're from the balamod aesprite extension files, which has other useful assets

[wintry solar]

and what about it isn't working?

[stiff quiver]

this is what i havelua calculate = function(self,card,context) print("0") if context.destroy_playing_cards then print("1") for i = 1, #context.removed do print("2") if context.removed[i].seal == "" then for l = 1, 2 do print("3") local copy_card = copy_card(context.removed[i], nil, nil, G.playing_card) copy_card:add_to_deck() end end end end end}

but its not doing anything

[wintry solar]

context.destroy_playing_cards isn't a thing

[faint yacht]

context.remove_playing_cards is, however. 😛

[lament agate]

my deck is rock hard

@manic rune

[manic rune]

mhm, hold on

[stiff quiver]

yeah but that still doesnt do anything i just wrote it wrong now cause i was trying stuff so i rewrote what i had at the start

[manic rune]

local click_ref = Card.click
function Card:click()
  local ret = click_ref(self)
  SMODS.calculate_context{clicked_card = self}
end

this is what you want

[lament agate]

above all of the thing i wrote?

[manic rune]

no, put it outside of your joker's code

[native zinc]

this code is for nxhoo

[wintry solar]

what do you mean, it doesnt do anything

[manic rune]

and remove the SMODS.calculate_context inside your joker's calculate too

[lament agate]

thank you caino

[lament agate]

sure

[stiff quiver]

i was told by somethingcom that context.remove_playing_cards doesnt get called on seals so i needed to hook SMODS.calculate context

[wintry solar]

well you were given bad information then

[manic rune]

looks right, yes

[tawdry oriole]

is there a way to update a joker's loc_txt through the update method?

[stiff quiver]

to my understanding it should be printing 1 when a card is destroyed but its not even doing that

[red flower]

what's the end goal

[native zinc]

loc_vars

Misprint does some shenanigans

[tawdry oriole]

essentially being able to change the joker's description mid-game

[merry raven]

So with SMODS.ObjectType I can create new card types different from Jokers, consumables and playing cards?

[pallid sleet]

Should this work for making two negative jokers from the same mod as this one?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind then
            new_card = SMODS.create_card({key = "j_loljk_Bubble", edition = 'e_negative'})
            new_card = SMODS.create_card({key = "j_loljk_Bubble", edition = 'e_negative'})
        end
    end

[red flower]

you can do that by returning a key in loc_vars

[native zinc]

loc_vars can take strings

[tawdry oriole]

but they can't take strings with other loc_vars in them right?

like it wouldnt work

[native zinc]

why wouldn't it just send more than one

[tawdry oriole]

right

i'll try it out

[native zinc]

you can also change colour and stuff with V

[tawdry oriole]

yeah that im aware of

[tired kestrel]

Now how does X2 mult gain work?

[snow vale]

how should SMODS.merge_effects() be used?

[manic rune]

🤔

what line is this

[wintry solar]

what smods version are you running?

[red flower]

SMODS.merge_effects({ret1, ret2, ret3}) etc

[snow vale]

3 rets?

[stiff quiver]

1.0.0~BETA-0527d-STEAMODDED

[red flower]

however many rets you want

[snow vale]

ok

[plush jewel]

Chat Im making joker that copies the first card in the first hand of the blind and adds a seal to it. Can't manage to make a copy of card

[manic rune]

congrats, the context went through now 🎆

[snow vale]

and why isnt this working?

[manic rune]

now we just need to fix the code inside

[wintry solar]

can you screenshot the full seal code?

[lament agate]

-# help

[manic rune]

im pretty sure its G.GAME.round_resets.ante

[red flower]

the syntax looks correct, but idk what your function does

[manic rune]

not G.GAME.current_round.round_resets.ante 🤔

[pallid sleet]

dnam this caused crash lmao

[lament agate]

@red flower @grok is this true

[stiff quiver]

SMODS.Seal{
  key = "shoomimi_seal",
  loc_txt = {
    name = "Shoomimi seal",
    label = "Shomimi seal",
    text = {
      "When this card is {C:attention}destroyed{},",
      "create {C:attention}two{} copies of it"}},
  badge_colour = HEX('8CE6BD'),
  discovered = true,
  unlocked = true,
  calculate = function(self,card,context)
    print("0")
    if context.remove_playing_cards then
      print("1")
      for i = 1, #context.removed do
        print("2")
        if context.removed[i].seal == "" then
          for l = 1, 2 do
            print("3")
            local copy_card = copy_card(context.removed[i], nil, nil, G.playing_card)
                copy_card:add_to_deck()
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end}```

[manic rune]

actually, is it G.GAME.current_round.ante or G.GAME.round_resets.ante...

its one of these

lemme check

[plush jewel]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.after and context.scoring_hand then
            local original = context.scoring_hand[1]
            if original and original.ability then
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        local original = context.scoring_hand[1]
                        local copy = copy_card(original)
                        if copy then
                            copy:set_seal("goolatro_hologram")
                            copy.ability.hologram_uses = 3
                            G.ENTITIES.HAND:give_card(copy)
                            play_sound("prototype_clone")
                            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = "Projected!"})
                        else
                            print("[Prototype] copy_card вернул nil")
                        end
                        return true
                    end
                }))



            else
                print("[Prototype] Оригинал недействителен или нет ability")
            end
        end
    end

[lament agate]

sure

[manic rune]

yeah its G.GAME.round_resets.ante

[lament agate]

so

[lament agate]

if context.clicked_card and context.clicked_card == card then
            if G.GAME.round_resets.ante ~= card.ability.extra.last_click_round then
                card.ability.extra.knock_count = (card.ability.extra.knock_count or 0) + 1
                card.ability.extra.last_click_round = G.GAME.round_resets.ante

@manic rune

[manic rune]

looks right to me

[lament agate]

alright

[wintry solar]

and how are you testing it?

[red flower]

it might be because it returns 2 values, try saving it to a local first

[manic rune]

🤔 whats :update_loc_vars()

im pretty sure that doesnt exist

[lament agate]

oh my god

really?

god damnit

[manic rune]

yeah it doesnt

[main minnow]

okay can someone help me understand what exactly G.P_CENTERS is? i can't tell what it's actually for (aside from being some kind of weird catch-all object), where it's defined or how to interface with it

[stiff quiver]

im breaking a card with the seal and another without it with hanged man

[red flower]

it's defined in game.lua iirc

it's just a list of all centers (jokers, enhancements, consumables, etc.)

[manic rune]

G.P_CENTERS stores all the information of "centers" (which includes jokers, consumables, backs aka decks, etc etc), and whenever they are created they will grab information from there

[snow vale]

ok ik why it didnt work, it's because it was copying vanilla jokers, and i was setting that it wasnt vanilla. Now, how can i check if the copied joker is vanilla or if it isnt

[main minnow]

right okay

[tight hull]

Hi, I came back to say that I fixed it

and im even more blind than I thought

[lament agate]

@manic rune IT WORKS!!!

[manic rune]

nice, gj nxkoo :3

[tight hull]

bcs the fix was literaly just deleating a black strip that i didnt see

[manic rune]

😭

[wintry solar]

it works fine for me 🤷‍♂️

[manic rune]

how did you not notice a black strip in your atlas lol

[lament agate]

it only register 1 click tho

[stiff quiver]

are you in the same smods version as me?

[manic rune]

huh, really?

[lament agate]

nevermind

[manic rune]

whats the joker's code

[tight hull]

uh

[lament agate]

IT WORKS

[manic rune]

oh lol

[tight hull]

lets say it was hidden ok?

[lament agate]

-# my plan was to make it knock every 1 round

-# but ante works, i dont like coding this at all

[wintry solar]

no I'm on the latest version but there's not been any changes tht should affect that

[manic rune]

i mean, the "every 1 round" part can be done in either context.end_of_round or context.setting_blind, so its not that difficult 🤔

[stiff quiver]

doesnt hurt to try updating

[wintry solar]

time to merge the probability utils 🤞 for no explosions

[pallid sleet]

okay so this doesn't crash the game but it doesn't work any ideas?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
                use = function(self, card, are, copier)
                    local new_card = nil
        if context.setting_blind then
            new_card = SMODS.create_card({key = "j_loljk_Bubble", edition = 'e_negative'})
            new_card = SMODS.create_card({key = "j_loljk_Bubble", edition = 'e_negative'})
        end
    end

[manic rune]

🤔 probability utils?

[lament agate]

it took me a half of day to code this, im just SO done

but ill try t

[manic rune]

use SMODS.add_card instead

[tight hull]

||I was focused finding it elsewhere to notice this||

[manic rune]

wait

why the hell is your use function in your calculate

😭

[wintry solar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/661

[lament agate]

like this right? @manic rune

[stiff quiver]

you are on this one right? 1.0.0~BETA-0615a-STEAMODDED

[manic rune]

nop

what is the effect of this joker

[lament agate]

+10 Mult per knock

[manic rune]

i might need a general idea on what you are doing first

[lament agate]

thats it

[pallid sleet]

didn't work

[tawdry oriole]

edit: what i was looking for is something that would dynamically update the entire description if the variable changes. the code here doesnt work because it can't find loc_txt? (calls it a nil value)
if theres any other way to do this i'd be glad to accept it

[manic rune]

^

[manic rune]

oh

so the knock can be increased by:
- at the end of every round
- you manually clicking on it?

[lament agate]

manually clicking

[manic rune]

🤔 whats the every round effect then

[lament agate]

was testing if the clicking card works in general

before you came in

[tired kestrel]

Welp, this is whatI have for the solitare joker, what do you guys think?

[stiff quiver]

still isnt working for me, i genunely dont know why

[pallid sleet]

RBLDBLRLRBRU IDK WHAT IM DOING 😭
lmao naw its fine how should I set it up then?
i just want this to fockin' work

[manic rune]

is this a joker or a consumable

[pallid sleet]

joker

[manic rune]

mhm, still doesnt really know what you meant by "make it knock every 1 round" though

[red flower]

return a key in loc_vars...

[manic rune]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind then
            SMODS.add_card({key = "j_loljk_Bubble", edition = 'e_negative'})
            SMODS.add_card({key = "j_loljk_Bubble", edition = 'e_negative'})
        end
    end```

[lament agate]

ah this works either way

tysmmm!

[manic rune]

the fact that it didnt crash with that is a miracle honestly

[pallid sleet]

yeah lol
okay im trying this out

[stiff quiver]

um, so i added this to see if the game did it when i played a card with the seal and its not even doing that, maybe my game just doesnt even recognize the seal? lua if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then print("0") return { message = "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" , mult = 100 } end

[wintry solar]

does your card definitely have the seal?

or are you editing some other file thats not the correct one?

[stiff quiver]

yes

[pallid sleet]

nope
yknow yesterday was me figuring out how to add a prefix to the overall mod and it should be set up properly...

[stiff quiver]

and i also checked that

[pallid sleet]

im gonna read the crash report

im gonna screnshot actualyy..

[manic rune]

if its a crash log that has "center" or whatever in it then the joker's key is wrong

[pallid sleet]

damn

good guess! lol

its correct

lemme figure it out rq

[manic rune]

mhm, double check the joker's key then

[tawdry oriole]

not really possible in this situation, i'm trying to modify the entire 5-6 line description every now and then, returning the entire text as a key in loc_vars just crashes the game

wait i have an idea

[pallid sleet]

Okay it works! tysm.
this was... a mental struggle lmao, glad it worked out

[manic rune]

its fine, everyone goes through that every once in a while :p

[red flower]

that's not what i mean
you need to return the key to a localization entry

[tawdry oriole]

oh

how would i do that though?

i have no knowledge whatsoever of localization entries

[errant fulcrum]

Am I crazy or is there an SMODS.remove_card function?

[junior hamlet]

Hey I just tried to install Pokermon - I got lovely and Steammodded and that is the only mod I run but I can't get it to work.
Worked just fine on my laptop, but I can't get it to work on my desktop.
Can I post a pic of the error and someone might guide me where I went wrong?
(sorry if that is the wrong chat I am trying to find everything out as I go)

[red flower]

1. make a localization file
2. in descriptions = { Joker = {...} } put an entry for your joker, the key should be something like j_modprefix_key_desc2
3. in loc_vars
return { key = condition and "j_modprefix_key_desc2" or nil }

you can check vanillaremade or another big mod to check how localization files are set up

@tawdry oriole

[tawdry oriole]

ohh alright

[pure salmon]

trying to create an edition that always destroyed the card/joker it's on at the end of the round, but this messes with the deck size (shows 55/52 after adding and removing 3 temporary cards). can i fix this?

[tawdry oriole]

i'll try it out

thanks a lot

[manic rune]

SMODS.destroy_cards, i think

[lament agate]

okay so

if it was text

its should be G.C.TEXT_RED?

since when i use G.C.RED, the text wont show up

[errant fulcrum]

I thought there was one that removes cards from the pool but I may be wrong

[red flower]

G.C.RED is correct, where are you using it?

[manic rune]

try removing the event and use SMODS.destroy_cards(card) 🤔

-# is it just that or {card}?

[red flower]

both work

[lament agate]

the first UIT

[manic rune]

i see

[red flower]

G.C.RED should work
G.C.MULT is the same color tho iirc

[lament agate]

huh

it disappears when i put RED

[red flower]

maybe im wrong with the name

[manic rune]

im p sure its G.C.RED

[tired kestrel]

Had to fix this, now it is functional.

[lament agate]

let me show you

the text

with the red

40

[lament agate]

oh wait

this one is G.C.UI

and the other were G.C

[tired kestrel]

||though wished maybe like by the end of the boss blind it can play like the solitare win screen thing. but IDK how to do that||

[lament agate]

whats the difference

[main minnow]

okay no i still have no idea what i'm doing here - i'm trying to make a joker that reduces the shatter probability for glass kings to 0, and i was told previously

you should be able to hook G.P_CENTERS['m_glass'].calculate and do your thing there
and uh, i have no idea what that's supposed to look like

[red flower]

it's a different table

[main minnow]

like, there is no calculate function on that object in the base game (at least not that i can find), so i'm not sure where i should be referencing this or what it should be returning

[red flower]

smods adds a calculate function

but i still wouldn't recommend doing that

[lament agate]

i see

[red flower]

use take_ownership instead

[shell timber]

new n profile picture?

[quiet bear]

is there a way to sense if any joker triggers?

[manic rune]

context.post_trigger

[red flower]

it's an optional feature you have to enable

[manic rune]

🤔 it is?

[main minnow]

take ownership of what, G.P_CENTERS['m_glass']?

[hidden sable]

no they are slightly different hues

how can you not tell? this guy clearly doesn't have more hours in balatro than atoms in the universe

[red flower]

this https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/d120e63fdbf68784c30441c901e4c3f80a8b4c01/src/game_object.lua#L3117

OR you can wait until the next smods release and use the new probability contexts

[main minnow]

is there an ETA on that release?

[hidden sable]

what are probably contexts

[glad stirrup]

Is there any way to store the key of the last used consumable? Been trying to figure it out myself and just can't get my head around it.

[hidden sable]

context hook maybe?

[main minnow]

okay cool and this take_ownership thing goes inside the joker calculate function right?

[hidden sable]

no you're lying to me stop it

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/661

[red flower]

no, outside of everything

[hidden sable]

so a better way to handle probabilities?

[red flower]

a better way to manipulate them yeah

[glad stirrup]

Super new to lua and modding for Balatro, could you elaborate?

[snow vale]

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

[hidden sable]

dunno if it's possible but maybe a hook for when you use a consumable check what consumable was used and put it on a variable

[crisp coral]

you do that by not clearing the screen after you draw a frame (absolutely not recommended)

[timid night]

Hey im making an edition (for jokers) that multiplies current chips by 2, how would I access the amount of chips that there are currently?

[hidden sable]

honestly this resource is not the best for smods imo

[crisp coral]

the xchips in question

[merry raven]

How do I move my button up

[snow vale]

fr ik

[timid night]

wait is that a thing lmao

[snow vale]

never helped me

tbh

[hidden sable]

real

[snow vale]

but is the only thing i have so

[hidden sable]

let me find my example of a hook

[snow vale]

i can show u some examples tho

yeah

[crisp coral]

can't, your button is anchored to the bottom with the other buttons

declare it somewhere else

[snow vale]

this is one example (obv, dont use my spamton joker lmao)

[merry raven]

I could have sworn that I made a button that's not at the bottom before

[hidden sable]

have a look at this

[pallid sleet]

what would be code for a joker like this? or at least the claculate bits this seems a little complicated

[hidden sable]

not a perfect example but

[merry raven]

What do you suggest, I don't really see someplace to declare it other than using create_UIBox_buttons()

[tawdry oriole]

i essentially got it all except the last part

the loc file is set up but the thing is that i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do with the key in loc_vars

is key to be replaced with something too?

[faint yacht]

-# How do I format the return for context.check_enhancement again?

[hard mica]

Does anyone know how I can give the player a random buffoon pack?

[snow vale]

also @daring fern @gilded blaze tysm, i finally fixed my amalgam joker, now it works even if i reload my run

[red flower]

return { key = [your condition here] and "[the description key here]" or nil }

[daring fern]

return {m_modprefix_key = true}

[main minnow]

is there a good way to check if the player currently owns a particular joker, or do i have to set flags in the add_to_deck and remove_from_deck functions?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[main minnow]

yes, i have to set flags?

[daring fern]

No, next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key"))

[pallid sleet]

how does random chance work? where in code do I put it.

[snow vale]

how can i make so i can only sell him if i have money?

[crisp coral]

the obvious place is under the jokers cardarea

[timid night]

When xchips is 1, it doesnt multiply chips at all, but when it is 2, it multiplies it twice?

[snow vale]

yk, 1 x 1 = 1, 1 x 2 = 2

[merry raven]

Yeah I get it but I need a function to draw it there
I'll get back to you on that

[timid night]

but it multiplies it by two twice.

[red flower]

hook Card:can_sell_card

[snow vale]

okk

[red flower]

what's the code

[snow vale]

how can i refer to the money i currently have?

[red flower]

G.GAME.dollars

[snow vale]

ok ty

[tawdry oriole]

something like that?

[timid night]

-- doesnt multiply
if context.edition and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            return {
                xchips = 1
            }
        end

-- multiplies by two and then two again
if context.edition and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            return {
                xchips = 2
            }
        end

[red flower]

almost
you need to have two different localization entries, each with its own name and text

[tawdry oriole]

ohh okay

[hard mica]

Anyone know?

[red flower]

this is an edition?

[timid night]

Yup

Im very new to modding so I might be doing this in the worst way possible lol

[red flower]

try using context.post_joker instead of context.edition

[tired kestrel]

Does anyone have an idea of replicating the solitare win screen thing?

[snow vale]

uh, so how do i fix this?

[tawdry oriole]

it works!! tysm 🫶

[plush jewel]

How to make joker trigger it's ability only on first hand of the round?

[timid night]

Thanks dude it works now

[main minnow]

is there an equivalent way to mess with lucky cards? i see a take_ownership function in that file, but it doesn't have a calculate function, just a thing that returns localisation vars, which i assume won't actually affect the behaviour of anything

[red flower]

1. can_sell_card takes an argument. i don't think it's used in game but you should use it anyway
2. return false if you cant sell it

[snow vale]

uh

[stiff quiver]

@wintry solar i got a friend to test the seal i was making and they said it works but the cards stay floating instead of being added to hand

[plush jewel]

How to make joker trigger it's ability only on first hand of the round?

[red flower]

for those you will have to use the new probability thing

[snow vale]

so then what do i change for the argument??

[main minnow]

is there an estimate on when that release is coming?

[faint yacht]

So, returning every enhancement...

[pure salmon]

how do i make an edition effect also trigger on debuffed cards?

[harsh wind]

what the hell is tarot interrupt pulse 💔

[red flower]

check DNA or sixth sense
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua

[glad stirrup]

As a sanity check, something like this should work as far as I can tell

[red flower]

it literally got merged like an hour ago so a week or two

[snow vale]

idk, i suck at hooking lmao

it's my worst enemy after shaders

[glad stirrup]

Testing determines it doesn't work 🙃

[pure salmon]

i want this to trigger no matter what (currently this causes issues with debuffed cards, as they are not destroyed)

[snow vale]

so what do i change now?

[pallid sleet]

Is it posssible to discard a hand after its been played? like a joker that has a 1 in 5 chance of discarding the hand played.

[wintry solar]

yeah your code to add cards is wrong

[red flower]

the last return should be return oldcansell(self, context) and the function should be function Card:can_sell_card(context)

[stiff quiver]

oh, that would explain it lmao

[wild escarp]

Anyone know why this sometimes creates 2 jokers?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.selling_self and not context.blueprint then
        card_eval_status_text(
            card,
            "extra",
            nil,
            nil,
            nil,
            { 
                message = localize("k_plus_joker"), colour = G.C.RARITY["willatro_organ"] 
            }
        )
        local card = create_card("Joker", G.jokers, nil, "willatro_organ", nil, nil, nil, "willatro_cadaver")
        card:add_to_deck()
        G.jokers:emplace(card)
        card:start_materialize()
        return nil, true
    end
end

[faint yacht]

...that looks like a retriggerable Joker with return nil, true being there.

[wild escarp]

idk, I just copied stuff from cryptid.

[stiff quiver]

how would i fix it?

[tawdry oriole]

is there a way to exclude a certain joker rarity (or certain jokers if that isn't possible) from a booster pack?

[quiet bear]

why does it no work

[real night]

how do you change the atlas for your mod in github commits

ive never figured that out

[rugged mantle]

How is the game that fast may i ask?

[faint yacht]

I've sped up the calculating and the triggering parts by 4x in post as indicated by >>. Otherwise, Nopeus.

[pallid sleet]

what do dis mean

index field joker eh?

[tawdry oriole]

it couldn't find whatever you were referencing with "joker" at line 132

[pallid sleet]

mk

thx

[rugged mantle]

Ah ok

[gilded blaze]

effect is unchanged?

[rugged mantle]

Btw does anyone know what gamepad inputs love uses for joycons or are they universal?

[wild escarp]

Anyone have a good example of booster pack code?

[pure salmon]

SMODS.Booster {
    key = "ephemeral_small_1",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Ephemeral Pack",
        group_name = "Ephemeral Pack",
        text = {
            "Choose {C:attention}#1#{} of up to",
            "{C:attention}#2# {V:1}Ephemeral{} cards to",
            "be used immediately"
        }
    },
    config = { extra = 3, choose = 1 },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.choose, card.ability.extra, colours = {HEX("8ea4b3")} } }
    end,
    cost = 4,
    atlas = "gb_Boosters",
    weight = 1.5,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    draw_hand = false,
    select_card = "consumeables",
    kind = "Ephemeral",
    create_card = function(self, card, i)
        return SMODS.create_card({set = "Ephemeral", skip_materialize = true, area = G.pack_cards})
    end,
    ease_background_colour = function(self)
        ease_colour(G.C.DYN_UI.MAIN, HEX("8ea4b3"))
        ease_background_colour({ new_colour = HEX('59778c'), special_colour = HEX("8ea4b3"), contrast = 2 })
    end
}

[wild escarp]

Thanks!

[pallid sleet]

the wiki also has some stuff on boosters https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Booster

[pure salmon]

how do i do something before context.end_of_round in update

i want to undebuff cards with an edition before then so they trigger their destroy effect

or if there's a way to have editions work regardless of debuff status that works too

[real night]

help

[wild escarp]

What are the default weights for packs in the base game?

[faint yacht]

https://balatrowiki.org/w/Booster_Packs#Booster_Pack_Rates

[rugged mantle]

I found this in resources under a txt called gamecontrollerdb
Nintendo Combined Joy-Cons (joycond),a:b0,b:b1,back:b9,dpdown:b15,dpleft:b16,dpright:b17,dpup:b14,guide:b11,leftshoulder:b5,leftstick:b12,lefttrigger:b7,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightshoulder:b6,rightstick:b13,righttrigger:b8,rightx:a2,righty:a3,start:b10,x:b3,y:b2,platform:Linux,

Is this it?

[pure salmon]

how do i make an edition that stops a card from being modified?

[native zinc]

my instant thought was to just save a copy of the card when the edition is applied and just continuously set the card to the save card

but that's scuffed asf

[pure salmon]

that is scuffed

there is on_remove but that would only trigger if you tried to override the edition

[stiff quiver]

could i put if context.before and context.remove_playing_cards then to make something happen before a set of cards gets destroyed?

or does context.before not work like that

[wintry solar]

@red flower just looking through the visible poker hands PR, how do you feel about combining is_visible with visible, so visible can either the function (or a boolean for back compat reasons)?

[pallid sleet]

hleppp with random chnace 1 in 5 plss

wait cna i just debuff the played hand instead?

hmmmmm

[faint yacht]

-# god, returning every enhancement on every card is wild af. laggy tho.

[modern kindle]

Have you tried turning off the lag machine

Silly goose

[pallid sleet]

( pulling hair out rn)

THOU SHALL SUFFER TERRIBLY IN WHAT IS CODING

lmao

[sweet pelican]

I'm not sure if I'm using these variables the right way, I'm getting an error that I'm trying to compare a number with a table? any help would be greatly appreciated!

[red flower]

I thought the same thing, I just didn't want to figure out how to handle changing visible to true when a hand is played if it was a function
But it makes sense

[tired kestrel]

how do you load images for an effect?

[wintry solar]

oh right yeah, the game auto sets them to true when you play them right?

[red flower]

yeah

[placid harbor]

Why am I seeing mixed usage of "number" and "float" in GLSL? Wouldn't everything just be "number" since Love2D's version of GLSL just converts float into that?

[wintry solar]

the function would automatically use the originally defined function though at all times

[red flower]

And if you want to check if it was played you would check G.GAME.hands?

[wintry solar]

and then if a function doesnt exist it'll default to the boolean value set by the game, which I think is probably fine?

you'd need a different check for played hands regardless

[red flower]

yeah i think it's fine

[wintry solar]

I don't know how to fix the lsp though 😭

can I just leave both lines there?

[pallid sleet]

This has an error but idk what the error is, could someone point it out for me. Should be somewhere around the else because it was when I added that, that it didn't work.

 calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_main and #context.full_hand == 5 then 
             if pseudorandom('ThunderStorm') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
            return {
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                message = "X" .. card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                colour = G.C.MULT
            } else 
                if context.before then
        card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chips
        return {
            message = 'Upgraded!',
            colour = G.C.RED
        } 
    end

[red flower]

i dont think so
wouldn't it be visible? boolean|fun(...)

[sweet pelican]

ok this is definetly "functioning" now but it seems I'm refering to chips gathered thoughout the run or something like that? the values are just way too high, am I using the right variable for my math (G.GAME.chips)?

[wintry solar]

that sounds correct

cool, that's sorted then

[sonic cedar]

the jokers' keys get stored in the global table properly, but the joker isn't using the effects of the jokers stored?

example: i store the key of clever joker, but this guy doesn't have the effect of clever joker

[red flower]

someone should make an API to copy not-owned joker effects

[sturdy compass]

That would be cool

[sweet pelican]

might be wrong but shouldnt the else be under the "}"? maybe it cant be on the same line?

[sonic cedar]

it would be so awesome

it would be so cool

[pallid sleet]

hmmm

[placid harbor]

Could probably use an elseif instead of an else and an if too

[sweet pelican]

^ yeah that too

[pallid sleet]

how so?

(figuring it out lol 😭 )

[placid harbor]

It does the same thing

Just cleaner

[broken rivet]

how do mods do tetrating, pentating, etc. mult/chips

[formal parrot]

Huh?

Using talisman

[f talisman ]

[pallid sleet]

hmh it still shows an error. its one of those things where it has the bottom most "}" underlines red

[broken rivet]

oh talisman does it

[rugged mantle]

could someone help with controller inputs?
Based this, would the debug menu open when i do this
if _RELEASE_MODE then if key == 'leftstick' and not G.debug_tools then

This is for dual joycons btw

[pallid sleet]

i uhm hmmmm

[wintry solar]

I have a working version of copying not owned effects that I could maybe look at generalising

[red flower]

i see that asked a lot in here so i think it would be amazing

[placid harbor]

I don't know much about Lua but doesn't every "if then" have to end with "end"?

[pallid sleet]

Gah! this sucks I hacve no idea whats going wrong 😭
I dont really know about where the "ends' have to go regarding "else" statements

[placid harbor]

Not sure about chaining "if then if then" needs a separate end for each... but you probably missed an "end" in the if block you have at the end in your else block

[red flower]

if condition then
    -- code
elseif condition then
   -- code
else 
   -- code
end

[sweet pelican]

bump because I've been scouring the source code but I still have no idea 😭

[placid harbor]

What if it's

    if condition then

[wintry solar]

N what are your thoughts on this? https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/774

[pallid sleet]

okay okay hollup

[red flower]

if condition then
     if condition then
     end
end

[placid harbor]

Ah yeah that makes sense

[placid harbor]

I think you're missing two "end"s here then

One if you change that else and if into an elseif

[stiff quiver]

you can also just put ```lua
if condition and condition then
--code
end

[pallid sleet]

okay i think your right and I found solution

Theres no error message so hope it works

    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_main and #context.full_hand == 5 and
         pseudorandom('ThunderStorm') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
            return {
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                message = "X" .. card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                colour = G.C.MULT
            } 

        elseif context.before then
        card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chips
        return {
            message = 'Upgraded!',
            colour = G.C.RED
        } 
    end
end 

[placid harbor]

Now you have one too many I think

[pallid sleet]

when i had only one it didn't work

tho

[placid harbor]

Yeah but you removed 2 if blocks

You went from 3 to 1

[stiff quiver]

theres one end for the if and another for the function, its fine

[placid harbor]

Oh functions need an end too?

[stiff quiver]

yes

[sonic cedar]

better explanation with a video

[placid harbor]

Ugh give me back my brackets

[pallid sleet]

it works but not as intended research must be done! ☝️

lol lemme test some stuff

[red flower]

i think it's cool but in my opinion it's going to be a lot harder to convince people to use this one, even more so than the probability ones

probabilities checks are already kinda cumbersome to write and they require people to learn what pseudorandom is, but this one replaces a simple value = value + scalar which I think it's kinda unintuitive (and gets close to Talisman's to_big thing)

also it says addative instead of additive 😦

[wintry solar]

yeah I'm not keen on it for that reason

[plush jewel]

I want to post mod where can I do that

[wintry solar]

it doesn't handle the things that scale negatively either right now

but overall, I think it would be very hard to get it picked up

[red flower]

#1209506514763522108

[rugged mantle]

could someone please help me with why this is not working?

[plush jewel]

k ty

[placid harbor]

Anyone know anything about this?

[pallid sleet]

the goal of this calculation is to have it trigger when played hand has 5 cards, then to have a 1 in 5 to upgrade its chip count, if not landing on that 1 in 5 then it'll do X2 Mult

im a noob so sadly cannot help.
Grasp a better concept of all of this I must!

[sweet pelican]

how do I refer to the player's current score at the end of a round? I tried using G.GAME.chips but it seems like thats storing all the chips I've scored in the run?

[wind steppe]

how would i implement a double exponential chips effect (^^2 chips)? i have talisman

[red flower]

G.GAME.chips should be current round

[sweet pelican]

oh then I've made some logic error 😭

I'll review my code lol

ty

[red flower]

what does it say when you print it

[sweet pelican]

can I print thought the debug menu?

I didnt know I could even do that

[red flower]

yeah

print(G.GAME.chips) in your code or eval G.GAME.chips in the debug plus console

[stiff quiver]

i think the elseif part will never trigger since context.before happens before context.joker_main

[tired kestrel]

okay I was trying to recreate the solitare winscreen thing.

but I get an error for this

[red flower]

order of contexts shouldn't be relevant to that

[sweet pelican]

Firstly, thank you that's so fucking useful actually, and secondly it does seem to be the right number, so it must be some logic error, let me grab a snip of the code

[wind steppe]

bump

[sweet pelican]

oh wait

[pallid sleet]

that makes sense lol shouldve thought about that 😅

[sweet pelican]

is it adding my current dollars to the amount it's adding?

[red flower]

yes

[sweet pelican]

ah

that would do it

[tired kestrel]

nvm figured out

[sweet pelican]

oh and I guess it would assume any number I return is in dollars becuase it's a "calc_dollar_bonus" yes?

[red flower]

no it doesn't make sense lol

[red flower]

yes

[sweet pelican]

okay that makes so much sense thank you a ton

[stiff quiver]

yeah i realised after, my bad

[pallid sleet]

is there a chance action instead of an if statement?

beause i believe its the fact that its an if than going into another if than

[red flower]

i dont understand your question but what's the problem exactly?

[hidden sable]

how would i make a consumable that turns your entire hand into 1 selected card

[red flower]

combine both death and sigil

[wind steppe]

what does this mean? (in smods.rarity)

trying to make a joker rarity

[pallid sleet]

im using this line of code for the 1 in 5 chance but the problem is I only want it to trigger after this other (2nd) if then. It seems to not work for the first one to be the result of the second one.

if pseudorandom('ThunderStorm') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then 

if context.joker_main and #context.full_hand == 5 then

[red flower]

using = true uses the default weight for that ObjectType and { rate = value } uses a custom rate

[wind steppe]

sorry go back

[hidden sable]

does death use copy_card?

[wind steppe]

do i need to add this if i want the rarity to work

[red flower]

im pretty sure yes
check vanillaremade

[red flower]

not sure i never made one :3

[wind steppe]

wait nvm vanillaremade has rarities

[stiff quiver]

no

[red flower]

how you wrote it here is correct
#💻・modding-dev message

[pallid sleet]

okay hollup TwT

lmao

[red flower]

that's why I'm asking what the problem is, that looks correct to me

[sour garden]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    -- When hand is drawn
    if context.hand_drawn then
        if (context.card:get_id() == 12) then
            SMODS.debuff_card(card, false, source)
        end
    end        

i'm trying to make a joker where when queens are drawn, they get undebuffed
when it runs if (context.card:get_id() == 12), it gives an error saying card is a nil value. is there a way to provide a value for card?

[red flower]

context.hand_drawn is a list of cards drawn, you would need to iterate that

but also I would use context.debuff_card

instead of hand_drawn

[sour garden]

oh that's a thing? i couldn't find it on the documentation

this was driving me crazy last night

[errant fulcrum]

Could anyone tell me why this sets the cost to 1 and not 0?

{
    cost = 0
}, true
)```

[sour garden]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    -- When hand is drawn
    if context.debuff_card then
        if (context.card:get_id() == 12) then
            SMODS.debuff_card(card, false, source)
        end
    end    ```
so something like this?

[red flower]

if context.debuff_card and context.debuff_card:get_id() == 12 then
     return { prevent_debuff = true } 
end    

[stiff quiver]

i think you misspelled the return, it'd be ```lua
return {prevent_debuff = true}

[red flower]

yes

[sour garden]

works like a charm, thanks y'all

[wind steppe]

how do i add tetrational chips with talisman?

[daring fern]

eechips = number

[chrome widget]

Is it possible to insert modded items in the order of item load before some vanilla items?

I'm adding some Blinds, but I'd prefer to be able to add my non-boss blinds with the non-boss blinds in the collection (rather than after the default boss blinds)

[manic rune]

is it possible to pow a table, like {50,500} (50500) by 0.5 (or 0.2, whatever) without needing to turn the table into a whole number?

ive been scratching my head over this for a while now

[sonic cedar]

minor bumpage while the channel's active

[stiff quiver]

wdym with "pow" a table?

[daring fern]

key would probably be v here.

[manic rune]

idk the word for that, uh, ^0.2 basically

[sonic cedar]

or rather k right?

[manic rune]

{50,500} is supposed to be a big num here, and im trying to figure out a way to exponentiate that big num by 0.2 (i think i got the word right)

and no, this is not talisman

[red flower]

is that 50*10^500?

[daring fern]

No, it would still be v if you're inserting into the table.

[manic rune]

nop, its just 50500 when converted into a number

[stiff quiver]

like this?```lua
for key,num in pairs(table) do
table[key] = num --(however you elevate a number i dont know how)
end

[manic rune]

:3 wat

[stiff quiver]

or am i not understanding what you want

[manic rune]

that doesnt help me with exponentiating the big num lol

[sonic cedar]

ohhh ok

[stiff quiver]

well nvm then lol

[manic rune]

okay, so uh, because lua ints have a value of 2^1024 or something, a way to bypass this is to have big nums which are essentially tables of numbers

{50,500} in this case is 50500

and currently, im trying to figure out a way to exponentiate this big num with a number that has decimal points

[red flower]

i hate math

[stiff quiver]

so you want to do 50500 ^num?

[manic rune]

same N', same

[manic rune]

basically that, yes, but with big nums you cant just put them together into a number and exponentiate

which is very unfortunate because i have been looking at this screen for about an hour now :3

[stiff quiver]

so basically you want like an ecuation that with 50 and 500 you get 50500 ^n

[manic rune]

mhm

[sonic cedar]

ok well now it's not inserting into the table

[stiff quiver]

yeah that math is complex lmao

[manic rune]

all because of this fucking upgrade :3

[manic rune]

why did i think i was qualified for this

[sonic cedar]

cause you are

[manic rune]

no, not at all

the most notable thing i have been able to add to this bignum lib was representing it with "e" (i dont know what its called)

[sonic cedar]

whoa

[manic rune]

its 2:32 am rn, so im just gonna take a sleep and figure this out tomorrow

[normal crest]

Why are you representing the numbers like that in the first place

[manic rune]

good night everyone

[stiff quiver]

wait

[manic rune]

because they are bignums? 🤔

[stiff quiver]

i asked chat gpt and it made this for python, seems pretty accurate from my testing py def concat_power(a, b, n): d = 1 if b == 0 else int(math.log10(b)) + 1 c = a * (10 ** d) + b return c ** n

[manic rune]

https://github.com/ennorehling/euler/blob/master/BigNum.lua heres the library i used in case anyone wonders about it

[manic rune]

:3 i might need some context on whats a, b and n

i see d and c in there too

[stiff quiver]

a is the first number in the list, b is the second one and n is what you are elevating by

oh wait it just concatenates the numbers and then calcs, i should've read lol

[manic rune]

oof

yeah no that unfortunately wont work lol

[stiff quiver]

sorry, well hope you sleep well!

[manic rune]

when concat'ed bignums can very frequently go above the limit of nums unfortunately

yeah no worries, gn :3

[wind steppe]

why does my game crash when it starts (most recent changes)

[normal crest]

this approach to representing bigger nums just seems weird to me

just wondering why you chose it

[daring fern]

Is para your mod prefix?

[wind steppe]

yes

[tired kestrel]

How do I get the Joker's X position?

[manic rune]

the one with "e"?

dunno, thought that was the easiest way to go about with it

[normal crest]

No, the [50, 500] = 50500

[manic rune]

oh

the library does that

:p

i couldnt find any better ones, so

[sour garden]

is it possible to return 2 different enhancements with quantum enhancements?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

local pos
for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do
    if G.jokers.cards[i] = joker then
        pos = i
    end
end
```?

[sour garden]

        return {m_wild = true}
end

do i just add an AND to the return statement?

[daring fern]

No, you would do return {m_wild = true, m_modprefix_key = true}

[tired kestrel]

oh. though I was kinda looking for like getting the x and y positions.

[daring fern]

Of what?

[tired kestrel]

like card.X or card.y

I was trying to replicate the solitare winscreen

[daring fern]

card.T.x and card.T.y

[normal crest]

card.T.x

[tired kestrel]

I'll try that and see.

and oh by the way, I've been trying to get the jpeg shader to work, while it did work but it didn't render the jpeg effect.

just to let you know

[sonic cedar]

what would the v in the table be though? would i have to change these to v??? i mean it doesnt make sense but i guess? is it cause i have this? do i have to change the table insert to v here too?

it didnt send

[wind steppe]

why does my game crash on startup

[daring fern]

No, the table.insert doesn't see any vs from its perspective.

[sonic cedar]

what should i do instead, then?

[tired kestrel]

it did work but it's at the top left area?

[daring fern]

Have you tried printing the table?

[tired kestrel]

I want it to like at the area where the joker is positioned.

[sonic cedar]

the local table or the global one?

cause i print the global one each time with eval

[daring fern]

What does it say?

[sonic cedar]

in this case

it doesnt say

(its empty)

[hard mica]

Anyone know how to give the player a random buffoon pack?

[sterile minnow]

hey, is there a way to give different number of repetitions to different number?

[sour garden]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
        if context.check_enhancement and context.other_card:get_id() == 12 then
            return {m_wild = true, m_lucky = true}
        end
    end
end

i added the first line after adding the code on its own led to a stack overflow error, but now it seems to not be doing anything whatsoever

[tired kestrel]

@daring fern apperently this is what's been going on

[normal crest]

because context.individual and check_enhancement don't happen at the same time

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sterile minnow]

how would I do it?

[hard mica]

anyone know?

[sterile minnow]

im trying to do it but its like it gets one value and just uses it to all cards

[normal crest]

what's your current code

[wild escarp]

How would I have this booster pack create jokers of only a certain modded rarity?

create_card = function(self, card)
    return create_card("Joker", G.pack_cards, nil, nil, true, true)
end,

[red flower]

return { set = "Joker", rarity = "modprefix_key", area = G.pack_cards }

[hard mica]

[daring fern]

Have you tried looking at the Buffoon Tag?

[sour garden]

how would i do that then? having just the if context.check_enhancement and context.other_card:get_id() == 12 then return {m_wild = true, m_lucky = true} end end instantly crashes the game when the joker spawns in

[daring fern]

Log?

[tired kestrel]

Apperently when I used card.T.x and card.T.y somehow it set itself to the top left corner not the position where the joker is.

[tired kestrel]

as you can see here.

[daring fern]

Code?

[tired kestrel]

actually Y'know what

[sour garden]

don't want to share the entire log unless you need it, but the log ended with

INFO - [G] ERROR LOADING GAME: Card area 'shop_booster' not instantiated before load 
INFO - [G] ERROR LOADING GAME: Card area 'shop_jokers' not instantiated before load 
INFO - [G] ERROR LOADING GAME: Card area 'shop_vouchers' not instantiated before load 
INFO - [G] line not found

[tired kestrel]

this is the joker I've been making

[daring fern]

What SMODS version do you have?

[tired kestrel]

I know there's some code that I'Ve gotten reference from the yahimod which is an idea to learn also.

[sour garden]

i have beta-0611b

was there a patch in a more recent version?

[daring fern]

What mods do you have?

[sour garden]

a couple, let me try turning off my other ones

[sour garden]

i've turned off everything except for debugplus and my mod, it still crashes when i spawn it in

[tired kestrel]

Finally figured out

it was supposed to be: card.tilt_var.mx and card.tilt_var.my

[daring fern]

Did it work while only returning 1 enhancement?

[sour garden]

just tried it, nope

[daring fern]

What is the full joker code?

[sour garden]

SMODS.Joker{ --Queen
    name = "Queen",
    key = "queen",
    config = {
        extra = {
            
        }
    },
    loc_txt = {
        ['name'] = 'Queen',
        ['text'] = {
            [1] = '{C:attention}Queens{} count as both',
            [2] = '{C:attention}Wild{} and {C:attention}Lucky Cards{}',
            [3] = 'and cannot be debuffed'
        }
    },
    pos = {
        x = 0,
        y = 0
    },
    soul_pos = { x = 0, y = 1 },
    cost = 20,
    rarity = 4,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = true,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    atlas = 'CustomJokers',
    
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    -- When hand is drawn
    if context.debuff_card and context.debuff_card :get_id() == 12 then
     return {prevent_debuff = true}
end    
    
        if context.check_enhancement and context.other_card:get_id() == 12 then
            return {m_wild = true}
        end
    end
}

[tired kestrel]

let me show you when I put card.tilt_var.mx and card.tilt_var.my

[daring fern]

I think it's because card:get_id() calls SMODS.has_no_rank which calls SMODS.get_enhancements() which calls context.check_enhancement so it goes infinitely.

[sullen field]

heya so uh, i'm trying to develop a mod basically from scratch, 0 coding experience at all. so i may need someone to show me the ropes of lua, and yes, i'm trying to understand shit through the main thread.

[daring fern]

You have to check if context.other_card.base.id == 12

[wild escarp]

Is there a context I can check for the start of a new run?

[tired kestrel]

it actually does this.

[daring fern]

No, because you would have no jokers then.

So it would be useless.

[plush depot]

im trying to make 1 joker count multiple enhancements and then give +3 mult for each one scored, if i wanted to count multiple woud it be adding commas and then more enhancements or would it be something like i have here

[daring fern]

You can't have multiple calculate functions.

[sour garden]

where would i put that? do i replace context.other_card:get_id() == 12 with that?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[plush depot]

ah

[daring fern]

You would do what N' said.

[daring fern]

#⚙・modding-general message

[plush depot]

thanks didnt see that

[tired kestrel]

Now, how do I make it so that it can draw into gameplay

without being on the front

[sour garden]

thank youuuu

[daring fern]

You mean so it goes behind things?

[tired kestrel]

well the behind the filter or CRT

just to seee that it's actually in game

[north swallow]

guys how do i make a new type of consumables?

[solid grotto]

Is there a way to simply check if a listed probability happens or not?
I'm trying to make a joker that scales based on failed listed probability triggers
I could always brute force it and change every joker with listed probabilities to also return scaling, but it'd be nice to have this be compatable with future jokers I add

[daring fern]

No.

[sullen field]

anyone?

[north swallow]

i could if you want

[solid grotto]

If you lack any coding experience then modding is going to be pretty difficult

As a first step

[tired kestrel]

I actually meant like it was drawned in like how the joker is.

[solid grotto]

Honestly I recommend using code.org to learn javascript

[daring fern]

Perhaps the new functions in the next SMODS release could do that.

[solid grotto]

Code.org is super helpful

Lua would be weird to learn first because it's not used often

[north swallow]

honorable mention to w3e for javascript

[solid grotto]

I can always use the brute force method which probably won't take that long. Only issue is that it won't be compatable with other mods

[sullen field]

i mean, next school year i'm gonna learn how to use python, but i'm not sure if python and lua are similar so... i'm trying to get a head start

[north swallow]

python is REALLY similar to lua

[sullen field]

oh?

[north swallow]

aside from table stuff

and a bit of details

[solid grotto]

I suppose not every mod needs to be compatable with other mods

[daring fern]

Yes, but when the new release releases, you could probably hook this function:

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/fbfeb4d2e14111c9c47706f71cc25c7b50e021c9/src/tarots.lua#L1

[north swallow]

thanks!

i didnt know vremade did that

[sullen field]

i see! yeah uh, might want to have some practice though because i'm trying to make a mod with several new seals, enhancements and a new consumable type

[north swallow]

most of coding is done through trial and error and reading documentation

[solid grotto]

This my first mod anyway so I can always change things later or simply have it be a standalone thing

[north swallow]

also looking at other people's code

[solid grotto]

Not all mods need to work with each other

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[north swallow]

i recommend looking at vanilla remade's code and the steamodded api wiki

pretty useful stuff there

[solid grotto]

Vanilla remade has carried me so far

Simply being able to look at how base game jokers function is a godsend

[sturdy compass]

Glad we could help

[tired kestrel]

I'm quite statisfied for whatI got the effect to work.

[sullen field]

thanks mates, i appreciate it.

[north swallow]

THAT LOOKS AWESOME WHAT

[tired kestrel]

even though it's not %100 accurat enough but it's something.

[violet gulch]

Going for that Solitare win effect?

[solid grotto]

What's the function to take ownership and change base game jokers?

I forget

[tired kestrel]

yeah.

that's what I was going for for this joker

[violet gulch]

Instantly recognizable, nice work.

[solid grotto]

Thank you

[sturdy compass]

I’m looking for feedback on a potential SMODS Pull Request I’m proposing. The idea is a value scaling util function that takes into account global scaling modifiers and new contexts, but the concern is that replacing something as simple as adding to a value could lead to inconvenience. I believe it’s not an insanely drastic issue and has a lot of potential for more functionality devs could harness, but I still wanna know the thoughts of others https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/774

[mild fractal]

being told "unexpected symbol near '='" and not really sure what's wrong? sorry if its obvious lmao i am very much just learning

[north swallow]

could u expand the image a bit more?

[vague crest]

out of curiosity if you wanted to create something that works like four fingers or shortcut, would the process involve doing the take ownership thing on a vanilla hand?

[wild escarp]

I've got this code, but the suit only resets after a played hand, so it always starts as spades, is there a good way to have it also reset at the start of a run, similar to ancient joker or castle?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    local message = false
    if context.after and context.main_eval then
        local valid_eye_cards = {}
        for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if not SMODS.has_no_suit(playing_card) then
                valid_eye_cards[#valid_eye_cards + 1] = playing_card
            end
        end
        local eye_card = pseudorandom_element(valid_eye_cards, 'willatro_eye' .. G.GAME.round_resets.ante)
        if eye_card then
            card.ability.chosen_card.suit = eye_card.base.suit
        end
    end

    if context.before and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint and card.ability.chosen_card then
        for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
            if v:is_suit(card.ability.chosen_card.suit) then
                card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain
                message = true
            end
        end
    end
    if message == true then
        message = false
        return {
            message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
            colour = G.C.MULT
        }
    end

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

[hard mica]

vanilla remade doesnt have ``tags.lua`

[sturdy compass]

[daring fern]

Yes, I'm referring to the game code.

[hard mica]

how do i look at the game code

[north swallow]

most likely yes, maybe take ownership of a hand type? but thats just my guess

[daring fern]

Mods/lovely/dump/tag.lua

[daring fern]

No.

There is SMODS.four_fingers and SMODS.shortcut

[hard mica]

i guess its like that?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[tired kestrel]

just realized that it would've synced well if the trigger happens and the animations

[vague crest]

i mean yeah thats not really what im asking 😭 i mean like something that alters how hands are played, similar to those two jokers as an example

[daring fern]

Then yes.

[north swallow]

how do i make it so i can add a name to the custom consumable set?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L4841

[wild escarp]

What would I be putting in there to reset though? Since I'm not using a function.

[daring fern]

b_key_cards = "" in Localization > misc > dictionary

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L2419

[north swallow]

so i just do this?

[daring fern]

No, you need to keep _cards

[north swallow]

strange but alright

[daring fern]

It's because the one without the _cards is used for the badge.

[north swallow]

huh

so just this

[daring fern]

No, it's b_key_cards

[formal parrot]

Localization?

[tired kestrel]

trying to figure out how I can like put the animation when the message shows.

[formal parrot]

Happens to the best of us

[tired kestrel]

can you add funciotns to calculate effect so it can trigger at he same time when it triggers?

[brazen tusk]

Could you rephrase sorry I’m not quite understanding what you are asking

[tired kestrel]

I want the animation to trigger when the "Upgraded" message shows

[brazen tusk]

I would imagine you just tell it to play in the same return you have to show the message

[tired kestrel]

yeah

[hard mica]

so uh theres a slight problem

[brazen tusk]

Same as juicing a card

[sullen field]

... yknow what? i can wait until september, i'll cook my ideas in the meantime

[tired kestrel]

yeah.

[faint yacht]

return { message = ...,
  func = function()
    -- start?
  end
}
```?

[daring fern]

Put it in an event.

[brazen tusk]

I’d recommend having it give the reward at the end of a round

Or that

[hard mica]

and how do i have it be rewarded only after round ended?

[daring fern]

context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[tired kestrel]

tried that but the animation played just before as the card just juiced_up

wait I'm gonna try something

[daring fern]

You would put it in an event in the func

[tired kestrel]

like this?

return {
message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
colour = G.C.MULT,
func = function()
-- start?
end
}something like this?

is this something that you didn't get?

[hard mica]

something like this?

[daring fern]

No, it needs to be in an event in the func

[daring fern]

No, put the check out of the event.

[tired kestrel]

so how it would be like?

I need to have an idea if it's instant

or how would it be instant?

hold on.

[daring fern]

func = function()
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            return true
        end
    }))
end

[tired kestrel]

I think I figured out
