[hidden sable]

is there a way to change a jokers description when bught

[fluid burrow]

this works? kami_explosive_compat = false,

[hidden sable]

like make a joker read "X10 mult for every card played" and when bought it changes to like "haha you fell for it"

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hallow slate]

Loop thru jokers, see if find joker finds the target card, if so then break and give the alt localization text

You do this in loc_vars I think.

[hidden sable]

or atually can i just detect when a joker is bought and then destroy that joker and spawn a different joker in

only for this specific joker

like once bought, destroy and create a new different joker

cant i detect being obught from shop with this?

[wheat jewel]

How can i get the rank value of a card from a scoring hand

[tepid crow]

does this code not work?

[hidden sable]

now i have an odd question

how can i make the screen turn black for a set amount of time before returning back

[tepid crow]

that sounds like a generic love2d question that probably nobody here has direct experience with

[hidden sable]

is there a way to just make one big ui box that covers the screen and then delete it later?

i dont need anything fancy

jsut cut to black and back again

[tepid crow]

seems possible, as long as thunk didn't place restrictions on the size/location of the ui box

be aware you can exit most ui boxes by pressing esc

[sonic cedar]

have you seen how big the sprites for the numbers alone can get

[hidden sable]

i mean literally just a box

like a big ass rectangle

nothing attached

[tepid crow]

oh you didn't mean thunk's UIBox

[hidden sable]

anything thatll complete the job really

[sonic cedar]

yeah just a regular rectangle lmao

[tepid crow]

lmao

yeah

sounds like you're back at generic love2d question

[wheat jewel]

Did some fixes but i'll bump cuz idk if this is correct

[hidden sable]

i would prefer to have a function that makes this black rectangle appear and another to dissapear

how do i destroy a card without it doing any effects

nvm found out how

how do i create a specific joker

[sonic cedar]

SMODS.add_card

[sonic cedar]

Should be?

[hidden sable]

arguments?

[hard mica]

it works just only when im doing a objective inside the shop , if im doing an objective made to be completed inside a round , it doesnt spawn that buffoon pack

[tepid crow]

check the wiki page https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[hidden sable]

also is there a way to have a joker have no rarity

[sonic cedar]

I don’t believe so

[tight notch]

probably not but you can make one if you dont want it to appear in shop

[hidden sable]

like disable this part

i dont want that badge to show

[tight notch]

afaik you cant

[wheat jewel]

it doesn't work properly

[tight notch]

why do you not want it?

[wheat jewel]

i'm not getting Xmult returned like it should

[tepid crow]

Interesting, do you handle that or does SMODS.add_booster_to_shop handle that? In either case, you probably want to create some sort of "queue" you add to, that you can then access whenever the user enters the shop

[hidden sable]

because i think its funnier to have this specific card not display a rarity

its fine if theres a rarity on the inside

[hard mica]

how can i make that queue?

[hidden sable]

but i jsut dont want any badges to be displayed on the joker

[tight notch]

idk

[tepid crow]

this is a joker presumably? you can just save it to the config/ability table

[hidden sable]

is there a way to make a joker not appear in collection?

[sonic cedar]

I probably should’ve looked at the reply

Let me get home first

[tight notch]

no_collection = false

[daring fern]

Yes.

[tight notch]

woops

[tepid crow]

Did you even read the wiki page before asking this question

[hidden sable]

just this but true

[daring fern]

Yes.

[midnight coyote]

if context.other_card.base.suit == 'Diamonds' then
                local ret_dollar = to_big(G.GAME.dollars) * to_big(card.ability.extra.xdollars - 1)
                return {
                    dollars = ret_dollar
                }
            end

why would this cause a talisman error

[hidden sable]

easier to ask then to sift through the smods docs

[tight notch]

my stupidity baffles me sometimes

[midnight coyote]

it cant kill you to go to a website surely

[wheat jewel]

Trying to get the rank value of the last card of a five card hand but it isn't return anything

[midnight coyote]

the people helping here are, well, people

[hidden sable]

it was just a simple question, that yall chose to answer, you didnt have to answer yet you did anyway

[midnight coyote]

we cant answer everybody at once so it'd be much preferred to do some problem solving yourself before coming here

[daring fern]

Firstly, you should use is_suit, Secondly, you need to use to_number()

[midnight coyote]

card:is_suit('Diamond')?

ykw

no its obviouis

dont even gotta ask

[daring fern]

No, card:is_suit("Diamonds")

[hard mica]

wdym , like save the entire code of block in a var ?

[midnight coyote]

like this or would i 'to_number' both

[daring fern]

Put the to_big() back and just put a to_number() around the whole thing.

[tight notch]

is it in assets/1x/horror.png

[midnight coyote]

its done this way to account for things like smeared, right? just curious

[daring fern]

Yes.

[midnight coyote]

okay

[tepid crow]

I mean you're already kinda doing it with current_objective_Completed right? You just need to check if the player is already in the shop:

• if so, spawn the booster pack
• if not, just set the var to true and read it when the player enters the shop

Makes sense?

[hard mica]

wdym read it when the player enters the shop?

[tepid crow]

if current_objective_Completed then

[hidden sable]

yes

idk how but it fixed itself after i reloaded again

[hard mica]

i got this in the config , how can i call it?

[hidden sable]

maybe the real horror was the atlas that decided it didnt wanna work

[tepid crow]

No, not that. Can you show your full joker's code?

[hard mica]

sure here

[tepid crow]

first of all move that keybind out of the joker block

[hard mica]

i just deleted cause not sure how i can reroll the stuff without having access to the config of the joker

[wind steppe]

how would i recalculate a boss blind's debuffs upon creation or destruction of a joker

[tepid crow]

You want something like what you did for calc_dollar_bonus. Find a specific timing on when you want the reward to happen (e.g. when user enters the shop), and then spawn the pack

[scenic elm]

How can i find a specific joker by key and call juice_up on it from the calculate method of an enhancement?

[wheat jewel]

I tried to implement the way that raised fist gets mult but with scored cards, but it crashed when putting "scored" in place of cards in hand

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) do
    v:juice_up()
end

[wheat jewel]

Idk how to properly get the rank value as xmult from a card

[hard mica]

is there someway to check when the user enters the shop?

[glass scaffold]

How do I summon a random Tarot card?

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({set = "Tarot"})

[tepid crow]

There's a context! context.starting_shop

[sonic cedar]

.base.nominal

[wind steppe]

verdant leaf only disables itself and im looking for something more complex

[hard mica]

seomthing like this?

[tepid crow]

I think so yeah, try it

[hard mica]

can you help me with the keybind thing as well? if you dont mind

[scenic elm]

it seems like the juice_up happens too soon compared to the return message. is there a way to make sure they sync up?

the calculate function in question:

calculate = function(_self, card, context) -- _ prefix for unused args
      local hasReinforcedGlassJoker = next(SMODS.find_card("j_mot_reinforcedGlassJ", true))

      if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == card and pseudorandom('glass') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra then
        if hasReinforcedGlassJoker then
          for k, v in pairs(SMODS.find_card("j_mot_reinforcedGlassJ", true)) do
            v:juice_up()
          end

          return {
            message_card = card,
            -- TODO: add proper localization
            message = "Saved!"
          }
        end

        return { remove = true }
      end
    end,

[daring fern]

Put it in an event.

[wheat jewel]

Does anyone know how I can do the raised fist stuff but with scored cards?

[vast bough]

does anybody know why does this code give me a crash

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        -- Individual card scoring
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 8 then
                if pseudorandom('effect_0_create_tarot_card') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                if #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({
                    func = function()
                        local tarot_card = create_card('Tarot', G.consumeables, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'joker_forge_tarot')
                        tarot_card:add_to_deck()
                        G.consumeables:emplace(tarot_card)
                        G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
                        return true
                    end
                }))
            end
                return {
                    message = localize('k_plus_tarot')
                }
            end
            end
        end
    end

but when i remove the line that checks probability, it works fine. ive been scratching my head at this for a good half-hour now. for reference the crash is:

card.lua:3401: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'extra' (a table value)

i looked at the vanillaremade 8ball joker, that has the card creation in a different way, it uses add_card and it puts it within the return statement in and extra field, i cant do that here because the code has to be formatted in a certain way to be easily reproducable. just looking for more insight on what causes this

[daring fern]

It's G.play

[wheat jewel]

tried looking around the smods documentation but couldn't find anything

[scenic elm]

i'm not sure what that means. could you elaborate?

[wheat jewel]

OHH

same logic applies then

[daring fern]

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

[scenic elm]

thanks. could you perhaps explain what the code is doing here? i'm not super familiar with the event system of smods/balatro

[tepid crow]

Moving it out of the joker definition might help, otherwise no I'm not sure

[daring fern]

It is creating an event and juicing the card in that event.

[tepid crow]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager has some good explanations

I'll also say you should consider using the new probability system in smods, see #1209564621644505158 message

[wheat jewel]

Somehow got an error from SMODS itself

[hidden sable]

yknow how invisible joker shakes when its ready? how can i make that into a single fire event that increases shake power with each shake and shakes more rapidly?

[vast bough]

for reference on why i cant do it the vanilla remade 8ball joker way, it is because the buffer check needs to be self contained before it reaches the return statement. if i do it the vanillaremade way, that check has its end statement after the return statement.

[hidden sable]

would spamming events like this be on the right track, minus the blockable

[scenic elm]

thanks, i appreciate it. much more helpful /gen

[formal parrot]

Solly

[hard mica]

i got this error

[hidden sable]

came up with a better solution, looks good, any way to make the joker not sell or make the sell noise when being removed? id guess it would just be modifying its sell value but

[hard mica]

how did you do this lmao

[tepid crow]

There's only 1 buffoon mega pack, see https://balatrowiki.org/w/Booster_Packs

[hard mica]

oops

[midnight coyote]

i may be blind but is there a context for when a playing card is modified

[formal parrot]

This is terrifying

[midnight coyote]

or would i need to hook into set_ability or sm

[formal parrot]

SKULL EMOJI

[daring fern]

Yes.

[midnight coyote]

wait, i should just check bloodstone's unlock cond

hm

i need to make that into a contextt

where the deck is modified

[hidden sable]

ill send a bit more in a sec im polishing

[midnight coyote]

im basically checking for if theres >= 40 cards of a certain suit

[hard mica]

its beautiful

[midnight coyote]

so in theory i should check every time the deck is modified

[tepid crow]

as unlock condition or something else?

[midnight coyote]

as overclock condition

[hidden sable]

is there a way of disabling selling of a joker without the eternal sticker

[midnight coyote]

i need the joker itself to check in calculate

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hidden sable]

how

[daring fern]

Hook Card:can_sell_card()

[tepid crow]

you could also check what bloodstone does internally, but that might slower

            if args.type == 'modify_deck' then
                if card.unlock_condition.extra and card.unlock_condition.extra.suit then
                    local count = 0
                    for _, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                        if v.base.suit == card.unlock_condition.extra.suit then count = count + 1 end
                    end
                    if count >= card.unlock_condition.extra.count then
                        ret = true
                        unlock_card(card)
                    end
                end

[midnight coyote]

but what is args

i need args

calculate doesnt have args

[hidden sable]

whats the args for that

[daring fern]

context but that isn't used.

[midnight coyote]

thatts my main hangup

[hidden sable]

would i hook it like putting it in add_to_deck

[tepid crow]

I meant you could recalculate it every context but that's probably a bad idea for performance lmao

[midnight coyote]

i'll just calculate before scoring

if i find a better solution

then ill implement it

[hard mica]

so like i got 20 dollars this ante but the buffoon pack never spawned

[hidden sable]

confused about this one

[midnight coyote]

no

make either a utils file

[hard mica]

aslo the code

[midnight coyote]

here ill give a demonstration

[tepid crow]

if you still have this line if card.ability.extra.current_objective_Completed == true then return end then it'll probably never get to your booster pack spawning code

[tepid crow]

if you ever need the playing_card_modified context I made once: https://github.com/larswijn/CardSleeves/blob/342307d97fc9ec4d3bc5be1eca69e6431e7af521/CardSleeves.lua#L2036

[hard mica]

i have that so it doesnt repeatdly give me the reward

[midnight coyote]

local card_sell_ref = Card.can_sell_card -- note how im not including parenthesis. I'm "saving" the function so i can return it later.

function Card:can_sell_card(context)
  if "condition" then -- replace condition with whatever you need
    return false
  end
  return card_sell_ref(self, context) -- return the original function if your special condition isnt fufilled
end

[tepid crow]

.

[midnight coyote]

hopefully tthis should be good? idk im nott too good at commentting

i just write self explanatory code

i only comment if its kind of hard to understand

otherwise

[hard mica]

?

[midnight coyote]

i shouldnt do that. that's bad practice

[tepid crow]

first line should be . not :

final return should include self

[midnight coyote]

whoops

[daring fern]

How would one make negative give ^1.2 Joker Slots instead?

[tepid crow]

I needed a reference, wasn't scrolling back up manually every time

[tepid crow]

I'm pretty sure it's also preventing the code from giving the reward even a single time

[hard mica]

oh lmao fair

[hidden sable]

so what is "condition"

[midnight coyote]

i would hook into the behavior of the edition code itself

[midnight coyote]

whatever you need it to be

its an example

[hard mica]

fml , not sure how i can have the reward not be given multiple times and not prevent some rewards to not be given

[hidden sable]

but i mean like, how can i make a joker unsellable through this

[tepid crow]

Set a second variable that's "reward_given" or whatever 🙃

[hidden sable]

like how can i change the "condition"

[midnight coyote]

is self a card object

i dont remember

in a card method

[vast bough]

can someone tell me what is causing this code to crash when a hand is played

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        -- Individual card scoring
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
            if context.other_card:is_face() then
                if pseudorandom('effect_0_add_dollars') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                    return {
                        dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end

this is literally just business card logic, i tried emulating the exact calculate function from business card, yet it still causes the same crash. removing the random check leaves no crash.

card.lua:3480: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'extra' (a table value)

surely this is something very silly but ive been having issues with pseudorandom consistently, if someone has some good documentation on it that would be great lol

[midnight coyote]

would self be the card object

[midnight coyote]

if self.key == [JOKER_KEY]..? try that

[hidden sable]

only hooking ive ever done is this

[midnight coyote]

im not confident

but try that

[hidden sable]

[JOKER_KEY] replace with ""?

[midnight coyote]

joker key can be replaced by the key of the joker that you want to be unsellable

[hidden sable]

OH WAIT IT JSUT HIT

what you meant by condition

[hard mica]

hopefully this works i guess

[hidden sable]

im so stupid smh

[midnight coyote]

not stupid, you just didnt understand and thats alright

[tepid crow]

Run it and find out

[hard mica]

kinda annoying i have to beat a boss to reroll my stuff since idk how to do the keybind thing lmao

[formal parrot]

Whats the crash?

Code seems fine

[vast bough]

thats what im saying haha

[formal parrot]

Your config

Has an issue

Can i see it ?

[vast bough]

SMODS.Joker{ --Business Card

}

where tho

(ignore the description not being variables lol)

[formal parrot]

Wuuuu

Lemme see

[vast bough]

bro ive been trying to fix this kinda error with pseudorandom for the past couple hours, its been happening on loads of jokers that i generate with joker forge

[sonic cedar]

what’s the error

[formal parrot]

It loons

Looks fine

[formal parrot]

attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'extra

[tepid crow]

did you try restarting the run?

[formal parrot]

yeah restart the run

[vast bough]

yeah everytime i go and test i restart

[formal parrot]

Oh

[sonic cedar]

thank you 🙏

[formal parrot]

Thank

Who

[vast bough]

could it be incompatibility with mods? i swear this was working like days ago tho

[sonic cedar]

goodmorning

[vast bough]

goodmorning

[sonic cedar]

curses

[vast bough]

my balatro might be cursed

[sonic cedar]

maybe use ease_dollars?

[tepid crow]

are you sure this is your card crashing and not the actual vanilla business card?

OH

don't give your joker a name

[vast bough]

wait

id

[tepid crow]

in the top-level anyway, do give it a name in loc_txt

[vast bough]

i am sure it is my business card

but, it will share the same id as original

lemme change id and test

[tepid crow]

Well, it's both. Vanilla business card code is crashing on your business card

[formal parrot]

    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
        if context.other_card and context.other_card:is_face() then
            if pseudorandom('businesscard_effect') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/ card.ability.extra.odds then
                return {
                    dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars
                }
            end
        end
    end```
end

It WORKS FINE

I literally tested it

LOL

[tight notch]

why does this play the sound a lot and freeze the game?

[tepid crow]

the problem isn't in the calculate

it's in the name

[formal parrot]

Mhm

[formal parrot]

Its a feature

[tight notch]

name isnt used?

[tepid crow]

I was talking about goodmorning's code if you meant my message

[tight notch]

ah

[vast bough]

the issue was it was sharing the same id "businesscard"

[tight notch]

wait no

name still isnt used

[vast bough]

i just changed it to something else and it works perfectly

[rapid stag]

is there anyone here who's made a super fancy custom replacement for a joker's description box?

[sonic cedar]

can you do that

[formal parrot]

Huh ?

[formal parrot]

N DID

[sonic cedar]

oh you meant like that

[formal parrot]

Return true?

[tepid crow]

SMODS doesn't use it, vanilla does 🙃

[formal parrot]

Are you sure

[vast bough]

this is the reason whenever i went to test anything on https://jokerforge.jaydchw.com/vanilla it always fucked up. bruh

[tight notch]

didnt see it was vanilla lol

[tight notch]

removing it doesnt fix it

[formal parrot]

You have an infinite loop

Going on

[tight notch]

how do i stop it?

[hard mica]

how can i check for a specific joker that is put in my joker slots for the first time?

[vast bough]

oh i havent set up the routes properly on the site, the /vanilla isnt working haha

[formal parrot]

Try return {sound=“sound key”}

[tight notch]

that also does the same thing but doesnt play the sound

[formal parrot]

Thus works for calculate

Idk if it works there

[red flower]

elaborate?

[tight notch]

the game just freezes

[formal parrot]

Gotta love it

!help N

[rapid stag]

i recall seeing some very custom joker tooltips in here in the past and i was hoping i could see some of their generate_ui()'s UI code for direction on how to write my own

[red flower]

does this card add itself by any chance

[tight notch]

yes

sometimes

[red flower]

well

[tight notch]

lil yachty computer gif

[red flower]

show the whole code

[tight notch]

forgot i had setting blind in the contexts

my own stupidity has be flabbergasted

*me not be 😭

[sonic cedar]

are we fr scrimblo

I keep opening this channel and forget to actually send my problem

let me fix that

[formal parrot]

We’re working on a patch for this bug

In the meantime wait for the next smods update

[hard mica]

anyone know how to do this?

[sonic cedar]

i found a temp fix called "remembering"

[red flower]

elaborate?

is it the joker itself checking? another one? is it yours or from vanilla/another mod?

[hard mica]

trying to check for when my joker is first put in the joker slot so i can reroll the stuff i need rather then rerolling on buying the joker

[red flower]

add_to_deck?

[hard mica]

hook it?

[red flower]

no

it's a function on jokers

[hard mica]

how do i check if its added to my joker slots for the first time then

[sonic cedar]

why does this show up blank? it worked fine before

[hidden sable]

what are the play_sound parameters,i know theres one for pitch but is there one for speed

[hard mica]

idk like this?

[red flower]

no

[hard mica]

then how

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/fbfeb4d2e14111c9c47706f71cc25c7b50e021c9/src/jokers.lua#L404

[rapid stag]

bump

[hidden sable]

its like a calculate function

but when it gets added to deck

and without context

[rapid stag]

additionally, what is c1

[daring fern]

The card being bought.

[red flower]

c1 is the card bought

[rapid stag]

ah

[red flower]

the docs use the internal names for some reason

its kinda confusing, you want to use context.card

[hard mica]

tried it like this but doesnt work lol

[red flower]

idk the logic of your mod

[hard mica]

just want to check for when the joker is added for the first time in the joker slots lol

[red flower]

that's how

but idk if your logic in the function is correct because idk your mod

[hard mica]

i can send the jokers code

[red flower]

please do

[rapid stag]

actually gonna page @hushed field for this because i recall you have some very custom joker generate_ui()s

[hard mica]

here you go

[red flower]

i have custom generate_ui's in my mod

they dont do anything too fancy with the description tho

[red flower]

can you add your joker during a blind and then click on a card in hand

[hexed stump]

I think I may have set my cardarea position wrong, oopsie

[untold palm]

Is there any way to check if an specific Joker is on the Joker slots? And if so, is it possible to check how many there are of them and whether they are sold or destroyed? I'm trying to make a joker that scales with certain ones currently owned and another with food jokers that expire/are sold/"slashed"

[rapid stag]

i kinda have an idea for a joker effect that changes its odds based on which joker slot it's in (1 in [slot #] odds)

[violet gulch]

Am I crazy or couldn't you move all your setup stuff within the if card.ability.extra.times_jonkler_application_added == 1 then logic section of the calculate function into the add_to_deck function?

[rapid stag]

but idk if there's a way to pick up on it being moved

[hard mica]

I did and it didn't work still

[hidden sable]

just check its slot every time the probability needs to be run

[hard mica]

I spawned the joker with debugplus btw

[red flower]

#SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key") checks how many there are
context.selling_card for selling

for destroying there's going to the one in the next smods version called context.joker_type_destroyed

[rapid stag]

i mean that makes sense, yeah. i'd also need to do that every time the description is looked at

[untold palm]

I see, thank you very much

[red flower]

that's what i do with my position based jokers

[violet gulch]

Do you need to update the center.ability.extra.current_reward_text and center.ability.extra.current_objective_text values in that setup section as well?

[hard mica]

Nah

[red flower]

did you try what i said

[hard mica]

Sure

[red flower]

check if that updates the objective

[hexed stump]

iirc the vanilla copying jokers just check on update where they are, for reference

[red flower]

and this is bad

[hard mica]

didnt have to press on a card

[red flower]

then it worked?

or did you go into the blind after adding it

[hard mica]

im having a problem , now everytime i press something , it rerolls the objective and reward for some reason

[hard mica]

went into blind then added it

[red flower]

because you're not using strict context checks in calculate

[violet gulch]

card.ability.extra.times_jonkler_application_added stays 1 and runs on every calculate

[hard mica]

oops

[sonic cedar]

bump

[hard mica]

lemme put the randomizing code into the add_To_Deck func

that fixed it

[rapid stag]

@red flower actually while you're here i have a sort of vanillaremade question but not quite

i'm writing... basically imagine canio's effect, but when face cards are destroyed, it has a chance to create a negative version of that card (and draw it to hand if during a blind), so i'm looking at both the way you've written canio and dna and basically frankensteined them together-ish? but i feel like i've done something wrong

my area of concern is the actual copy creation part, adding to deck and emplacing to hand, etc.

[hard mica]

now i gotta check for the buffon spawning code

[hidden sable]

use loc_vars

[red flower]

what part is not working

[hidden sable]

not good with math, anyone know what do modify my percent to to avoid this error

[rapid stag]

dunno, haven't tested it. i just felt something was off and thought you might be able to spot it

[red flower]

i dont immediately see anything wrong no

[violet gulch]

When i == target doesn't c go to 0 and therefore the divisor is negative?

[red flower]

idk why you're not using get_id or is_suit tho

[hard mica]

@red flower you know why this doesnt work btw?

[red flower]

isn't pseudorandom element missing a seed

[hard mica]

just do this?

[red flower]

yeah i don't see anything else wrong

i still dont entirely know how the card works tho

[rapid stag]

😭 every time i see get_id used here, i see people say to use .base.value instead, is that not right

[hard mica]

doesnt work

[hard mica]

so basically once you get the joker , you are given an objective , complete that objective in the ante you are in to receive a reward , the objective and reward rerolls every ante

[red flower]

I've never seen that, but it's basically the same so it doesn't matter
is_suit does matter

[rapid stag]

how do i use get_id to determine a specific rank, then?

ah, fair

[red flower]

2 to 10 is 2 to 10
11 is j, 12 is q, 13 is k, 14 is a

[wheat jewel]

Tried importing the code for blue seal into a joker, but it spawns two jokers instead of just one

[daring fern]

and context.main_eval

[hard mica]

maybe it doesnt work cause it doesnt know what the ability.extra stuff are , should i put the vars somewhere i can access them

[sonic cedar]

bump's awaited sequel

[hidden sable]

oh, yeah

[daring fern]

Is hpfx_eternal_jimbo a valid quip?

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[daring fern]

Quips don't use mod prefixes?

[hard mica]

@red flower tried something like this but it didnt work rip

[sonic cedar]

aren’t they added automatically

[daring fern]

No.

[sonic cedar]

tf you mean no

it worked before 😭

[daring fern]

Mod prefixes are not added to quips.

[sonic cedar]

it was rhetorical

but why would i suddenly have to add them now?

[calm kiln]

anyone know how to track spades and make it so that every 10 adds a discard?

[sonic cedar]

ykw if it works it works

[sonic cedar]

every 10…what…

Like in your deck?

[calm kiln]

yeah

[sonic cedar]

look at cloud 9

[hidden sable]

how can i make a burst of particles around a card

[calm kiln]

i completely forgot about cloud 9 lmao thanks

[sonic cedar]

went back to the initial commit just to see
it's the same 😭

[hard mica]

anyone know how to exactly go on with this?

[sonic cedar]

WAIT

NO

IT ISNT

THERES ONE LINE IN THE LOCALIZATION THATS DIFFERENT

WHY

[hidden sable]

how can i turn off music completely while a joker is present

[novel thistle]

does anyone know why the animation for card receiving seals/editions happens before cards are scored, but the animation for enhancements has the correct timing?

[daring fern]

G.SETTINGS.SOUND.music_volume = 0?

[sonic cedar]

realizing that said music and not sound

[hidden sable]

yes but will this cover if the player tries setting the music back up?

[daring fern]

If you do it constantly then yes.

[hidden sable]

an update loop for that seems laggy

going into pause menu is the only way to set music vol right

what if i hook exitting pause with setting music to 0

or actually

what if i just disallow pause

lol

trollHD

[rough furnace]

you could probably hook what uses the volume

[hidden sable]

my progress (VERY LOUD WARNING, sorry)

[sonic cedar]

I see that mf dolphin i know what you’re doing

I am NOT turning my volume on 😭

[hidden sable]

turn it like 1 percent

[violet gulch]

It wasnt that bad, even with headphones

[sonic cedar]

I have sensitive ears

[modern kindle]

it wasnt exactly that good, as a counter

[violet gulch]

The "that" in my reply mighta been doing the heavy lifting

[hidden sable]

what do you mean, do you mean there's more to improve?

[buoyant shard]

Is there a list somewhere of all the tag names to be used in the add_tag(tag('')) function?

[formal parrot]

Holy shit

[daring fern]

Yes.

[buoyant shard]

where?

[formal parrot]

My ear dumps are obliterated

[daring fern]

game.lua

[hidden sable]

i cleaned out your ear/dump

[modern kindle]

nah its just personal pref, im not a loud for the sake of loud fan

[formal parrot]

Thanks now i don’t have them anymore

[wild escarp]

I want this joker to gain xmult for every unscoring card, but this plays the message multiple times (no huge deal), and the xmult it gained doesn't count until the next hand, how would I fix it?

if context.main_eval and context.cardarea == "unscored" and not context.blueprint then
    card.ability.extra.x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult + card.ability.extra.xmult_gain
    card.ability.extra.message = true
end
if context.main_eval and card.ability.extra.message == true then
    card.ability.extra.message = false
    return {
        message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
        colour = G.C.MULT
    }
end

[thorn furnace]

I'm probably missing something obvious here

[red flower]

the loc_vars arguments are wrong

[thorn furnace]

oh

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[violet gulch]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)

[thorn furnace]

I feel very embarrassed

[red flower]

i recommend using vscode or another better code editor to get lsp autocomplete

[thorn furnace]

I can't stand vsc

[red flower]

context.main_eval is not a main context timing
you might want context.individual

[red flower]

why? there are others as well

[thorn furnace]

UI is really annoying to use and the shortcuts I like aren't there unless you add them manually
Would be perfect if its UI was like vs

[red flower]

that's fair i would still look into something that is compatible with the lua lsp

[thorn furnace]

i mean notepad++ does a relatively good job
about as good as it can do

It has autocomplete

[red flower]

does it let you use the lsp defs from smods?

[wild escarp]

with context.individual the message shows up by the playing card, still showing up once for each card, anything I can do about that?

[red flower]

message_card = card

or use another context

[thorn furnace]

I have no idea

[thorn furnace]

maybe...?

[calm kiln]

is there any way to make a sound play when clicking an editioned card?

[unborn bay]

naw

lsp is a program

thats hooked up to a code editor

n++ doesn't reallt have lsp capabilities

maybe try vim idk

[thorn furnace]

apparently there's an lsp plugin according to google

[hexed stump]

So I'm having a little trouble with a custom card area saving it's contents between saves and loads. I'm hooking start_run to make the area, and what I'm doing with it is grabbing unbought cards out of the shop to store for later. However the card just lingers to the title screen nd is gone on load

[vast bough]

another meta question. if you wanted to create a joker with a custom message associated with its effect, would you still want that custom message to play regardless on if the effect was successful? for example, you have a joker that creates tarot cards and your message was "boom", would you still want that to play everytime it attempts to create a tarot card, even if one is not created due to no room?

[red flower]

where are you saving the cardarea

[thorn furnace]

oki how do i hook this up with smods

[hexed stump]

ah fuck that's probably the issue I totally forgot about that

[red flower]

Ask for help

:3

[hexed stump]

what do I need to hook for that?

[normal crest]

honestly I don't use shortcuts for that reason, but it has the command panel thing which is very useful

removes all need for shortcuts if you are willing to take 1 o 2 more seconds to type

[pallid sleet]

Heres code, the crash says there's a problem with atlas being a nil value?
I triple checks the asstets and they are all the same values as in code.

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'dishsoapblueflavored',
    path = 'dishsoapblueflavored.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
}

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'dishsoapblueflavored',
    blueprint_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = true,
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 8,
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Dishsoap Blue Flavored',
        text = {
            'Creates two',
            '{C:dark_edition}Negative{} Blue Bubbles',
            'Jokers every {C:attention} round{}'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'dishsoapblueflavored',
    config = {odds = 2},
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
            calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind then
            SMODS.add_card({key = "j_loljk_bluebubbles", edition = 'e_negative'})
            SMODS.add_card({key = "j_loljk_bluebubbles", edition = 'e_negative'})
        end
    end

}

[thorn furnace]

it has opened like five windows in internet explorer to the github issues page

[red flower]

i wouldn't, i would play a different message maybe

[red flower]

can i see the crash

[pallid sleet]

yah

[red flower]

start_run is fine i think but you need to save the area to G i mean

[thorn furnace]

the command panel is a plus sometimes but I've never really found it necessary

[normal crest]

I literally use it all the time lol, mostly to swap between different files

[red flower]

can i see more of the crash
ctrl+c and paste it here

[thorn furnace]

do you not just ctrl+tab for that?

[pallid sleet]

got it

[vast bough]

good idea

[normal crest]

I don't, it's faster for me to press ctrl + p and type the first 4 letters of the file, also it opens the file if it isn't open already

(cus I usually have like 4-5 files opened so I'd have to press ctrl + tab multiple times)

[thorn furnace]

fair

[vast bough]

i can attest to this, much much faster than anything else

[red flower]

hmm idk sorry

[pallid sleet]

alright thats fine

[thorn furnace]

I guess I've never really thought about switching tabs all that much
I'm never really focused on more than 2-3 tabs at a time and I have monitors for that

[pallid sleet]

i did this one the same way as the other jokers I have and they work but this one for some reason likes to be different

lmao

[red flower]

i have like a million tabs opened because my mod has a million files 😭

[thorn furnace]

i mean i have all my tabs open but I don't like
actively use more than a couple at a time

[normal crest]

Personally I have the lovely dumps added to my workspace as well, so whenever I need to look smt I just type the name of its file in the cmd panel

[thorn furnace]

so i just slap them on each monitor and then have like youtube/discord on the third/fourth monitor

[red flower]

i switch out constantly, specially for looking at vanilla/smods code

[normal crest]

Also I have one monitor, tho I don't really see how more than one would help me here

[normal crest]

Oh yeah I have the smods directory in my workspace too

[static dagger]

Is there a way to retrigger jokers?

[thorn furnace]

two is a nice sweet spot
You can compare with code or guides on one monitor and code on the other

three if you really want to cross check with other things at the same time

[red flower]

context.retrigger_joker_check iirc
it's an optional smods feature you have to enable tho

[static dagger]

thanks!

[buoyant shard]

This code snippet applies to all cards in deck and not just scoring cards and I don't know how to fix it:

            if context.other_card:get_id() == 13 then
                assert(SMODS.modify_rank(context.other_card, -1))
            end
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 11 then
                assert(SMODS.modify_rank(context.other_card, 1))
            end
        end```

[hexed stump]

Is this not enough for it? It's working fine referencing it in other stuff with G.card_storage, but saving is still the issue

[red flower]

you need a context.cardarea == G.play check

[red flower]

that should work as far as i know

[vocal bramble]

does smods have native support for xchips?

[red flower]

yes

[hexed stump]

Let me take a video of what's happening then, I wonder if it's to do with the shop?

I may have figured out my problem hold up

[faint yacht]

Careful about the CardArea not being instantiated.

[red flower]

it literally is

like, that's a screenshot of it being instantiated before load

[hexed stump]

Well, it seems to be working now, it might have been a cardarea type problem? just need to see if I can emplace back into the shop out of it

[red flower]

afaik the cardarea type is just for how the area displays itself, but i might be wrong

[hexed stump]

I was looking at the code and I think it affects how align and stuff affect it

[red flower]

yeah

[marble yoke]

hi

[red flower]

https://nohello.net/en/

[hexed stump]

Works like a charm (besides not being able to highlight it, but that's an easier fix I think)

[red flower]

always wanted to use this one

[hexed stump]

Oh also N, joyous spring was a huge help in tracking how the hell buttons work on ui elements

[hidden sable]

its not attempting to be scary, but rather be threatening

[hexed stump]

vanilla was a pain in the ass tracking things

[chrome widget]

This username is also, uhh.... not great

[static dagger]

I'm trying to change a value when the player buys/sells blueprint/brainstorm, but it's crashing and saying that other_card is a null value, how might I fix this?

        if context.buying_card then
            if context.cardarea == G.jokers then
                local name = context.other_card.ability and context.other_card.ability.name
                if name == "Blueprint" or name == "Brainstorm" then
                    card.ability.extra.ForestRetriggers = card.ability.extra.ForestRetriggers + 1
                end
            end
        elseif context.selling_card then
            if context.cardarea == G.jokers then
                local name = context.other_card.ability and context.other_card.ability.name
                if name == "Blueprint" or name == "Brainstorm" then
                    card.ability.extra.ForestRetriggers = card.ability.extra.ForestRetriggers - 1
                end
            end
        end

[wind steppe]

context.card not context.other_card

[static dagger]

ah ok, thank you!

[hidden sable]

btw this didnt work

[red flower]

yeah

[hidden sable]

is key what i should be looking for?

[runic pecan]

The goal: "adds 3 random Enhanced Diamond cards in your hand"
The bug: "added cards are not all with Diamond suit"
Does anyone know where I did wrong?

[spark owl]

What the f

what is THAT

[hidden sable]

dont question it

[spark owl]

Sorry i was just about to come in and ask how do i rename jokers in Malverk

But

[hexed stump]

okay, turns out the highlighting issue is bigger than I thought lmao, it's not a highlight limit thing

[spark owl]

WHAT IS THAT

[hidden sable]

its

[spark owl]

Dear god

[sonic cedar]

oh

[daring fern]

self.config.center.key

[spark owl]

well

[red flower]

try the new SMODS.add_card{ set = "Enhanced", suit = "D"}

[hidden sable]

thanks

[spark owl]

anywhom so does anyone know how to rename the jokers using Malverk perchance?

[chrome widget]

I believe it's because you need to get card_key from the rank instead of key

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hidden sable]

btw do you know how to disable the pause menu

[spark owl]

I've tried it last night but it kinda failed

[hidden sable]

i wanna do something silly 😝

[chrome widget]

It's accessing an invalid key rather than the one you want, specifically for 10 - Ace

[red flower]

malverk doesn't rename i dont think but you can rename them using a localization file

[spark owl]

oh

[red flower]

check this mod
https://github.com/xssgm/Touhou-Balatro-texture-pack/

[daring fern]

Every menu that pauses the game?

[hidden sable]

yeha

[daring fern]

It seems like you would have to do a lot of hooking/patching.

[hidden sable]

like prevent pausing at all while a certain boolean is on

[spark owl]

Oh yea i did do that

It didnt work??

[hidden sable]

isnt there like a open_pause i can just hook too and reject

[daring fern]

No, because every menu has its own function.

[spark owl]

To be fair, i havent renamed most of them yet

But the ones i did rename didn't have their new names

[hidden sable]

maybe i can handle it with a patch?

[spark owl]

[red flower]

how does the file look and where is it saved

[spark owl]

Currently cant check, i'm on my phone and wont be on my PC until like, 4-5 hours?

[daring fern]

Perhaps you could do something with G.FUNCS.overlay_menu

[spark owl]

Will ya still be up until then?

[red flower]

i will be profoundly asleep

[spark owl]

I can wait for ya to wake up

Just give me a time

[red flower]

i think it's better for you to post it here regardless a lot of people know their stuff here

[spark owl]

O okok

I'll come back when i have my PC

[hexed stump]

swapping the order of the remove and emplace fixed my problem? weird

[hidden sable]

also as far as i know its only the esc key and this that makes the pause menu pop up

i only need it while its ingame so

[spark owl]

What the fuck i didnt watch this fully

IT JUST CHANGED INTO THAT???

[hidden sable]

hes so silly amiright?

[spark owl]

You aint wrong...

[sullen brook]

Where does an SMODS.Back calculate which cards are available within it? ie, "A deck of all spades"

[hidden sable]

the silence is deafening, and also the scream but yknow

[untold palm]

I'm trying to make a joker that sets probabilities to 0, but i'm having trouble getting probability to where it shoud be if the card is sold with a Oops all 6s in hand, but everything i've been trying has crashed, any idea on how to fix this:

[median veldt]

yeah ok so my mod is having very weird issues

heres the code i guess?

and heres the thing

the person testing doesnt even have any of these jokers but for some reason the issue happens when the mod is enabled

its also not that hyperspecific some cards just fuck up

causing this error

[red flower]

honestly i would wait a bit for the new smods release with the new probability API

[untold palm]

Oh, i see, then i'll just leave a warning for the time being to not buy Oops alongside this joker to avoid ruining the run's probabilities

[median veldt]

wait wait what is that joker even supposed to do besides set all probablilities to 0

[untold palm]

since currently, selling this joker with Oops in hand and then selling oops changes probabilities to 0.5

[untold palm]

its just to set probabilites to 0

basically glass card support + a few other jokers i'm working on

[median veldt]

ohh ok
yeah it sounded kinda bad but that might be good depending on what the other jokers are

[red flower]

its because of the get_id hook returning when the card is debuffed

[median veldt]

elaborate

wait

[hidden sable]

whats the best way to display a number that the player will have to keep track of

[median veldt]

nevermind i figured it out

[hidden sable]

like a discard counter

[untold palm]

yeah, its pretty bad even with just glass, but i'm planning on some jokers with negative probabilities.

[median veldt]

What

How does THAT work

[tawny onyx]

Hi I'm new to the modding thing, uuh I was wondering if there was a way to make something give a random seal to a card

[red flower]

local seal = SMODS.poll_seal({ key = "seed", guaranteed = true })
card:set_seal(seal, false, true)

[tawny onyx]

Oh okay thank you so much!

[serene granite]

i need a little help if you guys dont mind, i am trying to make a custom joker similar to invisible joker where after 2 rounds i sell it to create another joker, but instead of making a copy of another joker, it spawns in a specific joker,

i have the mechanics working with the rounds and stuff but everytime i try to spawn the joker it crashes

is there an easy way to just have a card spawn a specific joker?

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card{key = "j_modprefix_key"}?

[sturdy compass]

Started helping someone with a mod that isn't Maximus and made some pretty cool tech for it. Basically it's arbitrary consumable logic

[median veldt]

ok i really like those card designs for the consumables

[hasty mist]

i am extremely lost, im just trying to target every joker to the right of this one, everything about this seems completely wrong

[hidden sable]

does add_card go over the joker limit?

[hybrid shadow]

oh hey thats the mod that saved me from going mental trying to figure out tags

[hasty mist]

im essentially sleepwalking through coding this

some help would be very appreciated

i do not understand loops at all despite putting considerable effort into learning them

[tall wharf]

you have to store the index outside the loop

then check if loop index is more than the index you sture

this index you are going to store will store index of the current card that is being calculated

[hasty mist]

so just

local i = 0?

[tall wharf]

before the loop you just

local cardind = 0

and if gjokercards[i] == card then cardind = i end

[hidden sable]

how can i set the games gamespeed

[hasty mist]

so like

something like this

[daring fern]

G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED = number

[hidden sable]

if i set it to 0 what would happen

[tall wharf]

actually can you change cardind to #G.jokers.cards instead of 0

you can do the table insert thing still

[hexed stump]

Hmm, is there an easy way to check when a joker is unhighlighted short of doing it in update?

[hidden sable]

is there a way to randomize the game windows position

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hasty mist]

hm is that all i should change

[tall wharf]

https://love2d.org/wiki/love.window.setPosition

[hasty mist]

or is

[tall wharf]

like

you just need original logic

and you need to check if the i is more than cardind

[hidden sable]

if i wanted it to shake how could i make that effect?

[tall wharf]

which will be all the cards to the right

[hasty mist]

i might be lost now

[tall wharf]

you randomly pick a few times

i am sleepyu as fuck

[hidden sable]

get the current windows position and randomly add coordiantes to it?

[tall wharf]

no you just set it a few times

with small offsets

you pick

a position

then you add some offset to that position a bit

set window pos to that

[hexed stump]

A specific instance of said joker? That's where I've been running into trouble, and I don't want to hook highlight to move my card area around every single time I unhighlight a joker

[tall wharf]

do it a few times

[hasty mist]

this genuinely makes no sense to me 😭

[hidden sable]

and i can just run love code like any other funciton right

[tall wharf]

what is cardstotheright

[true jasper]

with debugplus

[tall wharf]

yes.

[hasty mist]

dont remember someone suggested it and it didnt work so its gone now

[tall wharf]

you need to define a table before the loop called that

[hasty mist]

this is the code i have atm

[tall wharf]

:<

[hasty mist]

i feel like im close im just

missing something

i cant make a for loop to save my life

[tall wharf]

😭

[hasty mist]

its genuinely the most egregious gap in my coding knowledge

i have tried and tried

and yet every time i try to make one my code is thought bubble gif worthy

[hexed stump]

https://www.lua.org/pil/4.3.4.html
This might be helpful, if you've not looked at it

[hasty mist]

i have

its so frustrating

[sonic cedar]

how can i stop a specific file from being loaded

[daring fern]

for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do
    if i > cardind then
        -- do things
    end
end
```?

[sonic cedar]

like say i have a load_folder function set up, how can i make it load files EXCEPT for a file i mention

[daring fern]

if file ~= "filename.lua" then?

[hidden sable]

man if only i could jsut call :juice_up on the game window lol

[sonic cedar]

that's what i was thinking, but i wanna make sure that it's better to do within or outside of the for loop

[faint yacht]

...I hope you are not going full hog like some other stuff does?

[wind steppe]

chat why is it doing that

[sonic cedar]

did you see the person doing this in balatro

[hidden sable]

i want a card where every time you beat a blind itll run a fucked up function that can either fuck with your settings, fuck with your window, or do something other

[hasty mist]

alright, i think i'm on the right track here

i think my problem now lies in the G.jokers.cards[i]

should i be cardind?

[hasty mist]

or something else

[hidden sable]

wait this is peak

[wind steppe]

what the hell

[hasty mist]

or am i going about this incorrectly

[sonic cedar]

i love basil

[hidden sable]

can you send the text version?

[daring fern]

local function juice_up_game()
    local animtimer = 50
    while animtimer > 0 do
        local x, y, displayindex = love.window.getPosition()
        local d_width, d_height = love.window.getDesktopDimensions( displayindex )
        local w_width, w_height, flags = love.window.getMode( )
        animtimer = animtimer - 0.5
        local m_width = d_width - w_width
        local m_height = d_height - w_height
        if not flags.fullscreen then
            love.window.setPosition( (math.sin( animtimer ) + 1) / 7 * (m_width - 224) + 112, (math.cos( animtimer ) + 1) / 7 * (m_height - 224) + 112)
        end
    end
end

[hidden sable]

thank you kindly

[hallow forge]

oh dear

[gilded blaze]

having the game window move around without consent is peak

[median veldt]

this is awesome actually

[gilded blaze]

yea I'm not gonna do that crap of abomination
disruptions are just annoying to deal with

it discourages the fun of playing modded Balatro

[sonic cedar]

joy and whimsy

consider

[tall wharf]

i am picky about what i add to my mod

[sonic cedar]

you heard someone mention disruptions

[hidden sable]

how do i make it so when you buy a joker it cant show up in the run ever again even if you sell it

[sonic cedar]

set in_pool to false

[true jasper]

for whatever reason a stake I added above gold isnt applying previous stakes

[hidden sable]

i would detect the buying of it through add_to_deck how do i set in_pool from there?

wait would i have a config that changes it?

[hasty mist]

bump, it doesnt crash but it also doesnt do anything

[hidden sable]

like a config pointing to a bool and the in pool looks at it

so how would i get card over here

unless self suffies

[sonic cedar]

in_pool uses args

i believe you can think of it like unlock

[daring fern]

You need to keep the previous for loop.

[hasty mist]

i dont understand

[daring fern]

The one that sets cardind to the joker position.

[sonic cedar]

i havent done this myself so fair warning, but maybe something like

in_pool = function(self, args)
  if args.type == 'insertyourargsthinghere' then
    return false else return true 
  end
end

and then you'd hook into add_to_deck probably

[hasty mist]

so there should be two for loops?

or should they be embedded or something

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hasty mist]

oh wow it works

thank you so much

[hidden sable]

so what would i put in insertyourargsthinghere

im a wee bit stupid so bear with me

actually wait

cant i jsut make a pool flag

[sonic cedar]

maybe

[hidden sable]

whats the function that gets called when a joker gets initilized

[sonic cedar]

the arg is created by whatever you put in the string

[hidden sable]

isnt it just init

[hybrid shadow]

random question, do individual tarot cards have different weights?

[hidden sable]

oh wait isnt that cryptid shit

[hybrid shadow]

(cant wait to be told to look at the source code as if thats being helpful at all)

[hidden sable]

mb gang

[hidden sable]

look at the source code

im kidding

i dont think so

im pretty sure all consumables have equal weights

except for

soul cards

those are defined separately

[hybrid shadow]

true

alr then, im not changing the rate of upgrade cards

theyre already set to show up less often than some other types of cards (that is, so long as vanillaremade is accurate to the actual rate of tarot cards in shop)

[hidden sable]

how do i make a card sell for 0, i tried setting its cost to 0

[hallow forge]

hook/patch Card:set_cost

[hidden sable]

i dont wanna do another hook 😭

alright ill do it

[hallow forge]

you are going to hate modding then

[hexed stump]

card:set_cost on add to deck

[hidden sable]

thatll work?

no params just call it?

[hexed stump]

Oh you also need a card.ability.extra_value right before it

[gilded blaze]

just hook/patch Card:set_cost

[hidden sable]

the haters keep tryna tell me to hook

[hexed stump]

why would you hook it when you can do it in two lines of code on the card

[hidden sable]

so set that to 0?

[hallow forge]

better practice

[gilded blaze]

don't use ability.extra_cost, it's inconsistent because sell cost is affected by Clearance Sale and Liquidation while ability.extra_cost isn't

[hidden sable]

the joker is 0 dollars, i want the sell price to be 0 dollars, i think the inconsistency will miss

[abstract ingot]

Trying to figure out why when I destroy 2+ clubs or spades it only registers as one instance of mult increase than 2. Is it something with the removed_card section?

[hidden sable]

ok jonathan blow

[gilded blaze]

so you couponed the joker

since buy and sell cost cannot go below 1

[hexed stump]

It can

[gilded blaze]

Card:set_cost doesn't allow it

[modern kindle]

Sell_cost does however
Because I do that

[hexed stump]

give me a second and I can show you it does

[gilded blaze]

sell_cost is affected by ability.extra_cost

[hidden sable]

i think i did something wrong

[gilded blaze]

but still
I wouldn't recommend that

[hidden sable]

what would the hook look like?

like this?

[hexed stump]

Jokers have a base cost of 1

Any card does I'm p sure

[hidden sable]

ss13/14 mentiond

[worthy stirrup]

No, I don’t think they do, I think the negative is messing with values somehow

[hidden sable]

just tried hooking it as well and it didnt work

[sturdy compass]

wtf

[hidden sable]

what

[sturdy compass]

the creature

[sturdy compass]

ow

[hidden sable]

hes so nicwe he cleaned your ears

[gilded blaze]

if it's related to one object, I recommend setting the condition that that object
e.g. for joker:

local set_cost_ref = Card.set_cost
function Card:set_cost()
    set_cost_ref(self)
    if self.config.center.key == "j_modprefix_key" then
        self.sell_cost = 0
    end
end

lunch

[worthy stirrup]

Oh.

[hidden sable]

i cant get him off!!!!

[worthy stirrup]

That’s so cool

[hidden sable]

thats cooler than whatever god awful thing im doing lol

[worthy stirrup]

My poor ears…

[hidden sable]

hes cleaning them ❤️

[worthy stirrup]

I wish he would learn boundaries

[hidden sable]

hes 9 seconds old

[worthy stirrup]

I do not care

[hidden sable]

anyone know how to change this setting?

like

with code

[hasty mist]

i think the potassium mod does it somehow

[median veldt]

give me a minute i could try figuring it out maybe

[faint yacht]

G.SETTINGS.play_button_pos

[median veldt]

or not

i figured it was gonna be there

[hidden sable]

is that a bool?

[faint yacht]

No.

[hidden sable]

oh its a 1 or 2

[untold palm]

does anybody know the function to call to increase joker slots in the shop? i've tried consulting a few mods as reference and got how to increase the other slots i wished, but the joker slots for shop has been my bane.

[hidden sable]

its just change_shop_size

no G.GAME

is there a juice up for the whole screen that makes it shake

i know it gets triggered when you press a button

yknow what would be really fucked up

if my joker looks at your steam games and launches a random one

that would be funny af

[untold palm]

oh damn, i somehow completely overlooked just doing this, thx

[untold palm]

Absolute peak idea, would be funny

[sleek cliff]

Is there a way to sense if a specific card has been created

[maiden phoenix]

add_to_deck function

[sleek cliff]

does that work with tarot and spectrals too?

[pastel kernel]

How do you retrigger rightmost joker?

[sleek cliff]

ok, so the add_to_deck is not seeming like the thing I need, I have a joker that if it creates a specific spectral it is destroyed

[stiff quiver]

why is this crashing my game?```lua
local _card = SMODS.add_card({set = "Playing_Card", suit = _suit, rank = "6", edition = edit_type, })

[maiden phoenix]

Is the joker the one creating the spectral card

[sleek cliff]

yes

[maiden phoenix]

Use start_dissolve after the spectral is created

[pure frigate]

hey could anyone please help me with the steps to modding a very simple thought into the game? would be very much appreciated

[maiden phoenix]

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

[pure frigate]

the thought is it would fade an image in and out with and audio clip anytime a two of a kind is played

[sleek cliff]

well, it's a specific spectral that's created that will destroy it

[maiden phoenix]

Whats your code like so far

[sleek cliff]

I haven't added anything yet, but it does make the spectrals

[maiden phoenix]

Im busy for a bit but if you dont find a solution until then I'll send you a code snippet

[sleek cliff]

thanmks

[pastel kernel]

ok i thought i fixed the problem but no it still doesn't work.

[untold palm]

Context: trying to do it so that this joker when bought becomes eternal and gives the player some money on buy, but makes the player lose money after beating 6 blinds while also losing its Eternal Sticker. Where i need HELP rn: i'm trying to first get the player to lose the money after the blinds beaten (currently testing with just 1), but i'm not having any sucess.

[stiff quiver]

you could make it return negative money at end of round, also iirc calc_dollar_bonus has to be outside the calculate function, so maybe thats why it doesnt work

[drowsy heath]

So I took the deserved day off of making the mod and I was bored all day n felt a bit lost. What am I gunna do when I've finished the mod im gunna have nothing to do all day

[stiff quiver]

do more mods

[pastel kernel]

config = { extra = { repetitions = 1 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { 1, card.ability.extra.repetitions } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint and G.GAME.blind.boss then
            card.ability.extra.repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions + 1
            return {
                message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                colour = G.C.FILTER,
                card = card
            }
        end
        if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            local right_joker = nil
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
                    if i < #G.jokers.cards and G.jokers.cards[i + 1].ability.set == 'Joker' then
                        right_joker = G.jokers.cards[i + 1]
                    end
                    break
                end
            end
            if right_joker then
                return {
                    repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                    card = right_joker
                }
            end
        end
    end,
}

does it work like this?

retriggers the rightmost joker

[drowsy heath]

I mean i would rather do a mega mega mod and keep updating it, idc how large it gets rather than make loads of little bits

[stiff quiver]

makes sense

[drowsy heath]

That all stands on how much my artist is willing to commit

They are doing it for me for free rn with the stats I gave them

[pastel kernel]

because it's not retriggering

[stiff quiver]

im not 100% sure how to retrigger jokers, but you can look at cryptid mod for examples

[pastel kernel]

i'm using vanilla remade

for reference

[drowsy heath]

If you want the rightmost joker cant you base it on brainstorm and switch the left to right ?

Idk if I sound stupid

But thats what I would do

[pastel kernel]

hmm

[drowsy heath]

It worked for me with "droopy chad" which retriggers last played cards twice instead of first card

Card**

Idk of its same with retriggering jokers tho

[stiff quiver]

i believe context.repetition isnt used for retriggering jokers

but in cryptid mod theres a joker that retriggers the leftmost joker, so you could look at that one for the used context

[drowsy heath]

Brainstorm....

[untold palm]

So, the loseMoney var already has negative money, so at least there is that. I moved tge cal_dolar_bonus outside of calculations, and tried to just insert the blinds beaten counter in it, but now i had a crash, do i need to simply change the "if ... else ..." or something else

[snow vale]

how can i choose a random card from your hand that doesn't have an enhancement?

[drowsy heath]

Wait no I feel dumb i understood it wrong ur right cryptid is the best example

[pastel kernel]

Wait, it’s written as context.retrigger_joker_check?

[drowsy heath]

Been up all night watching tv its like 8am now... gunna try and survive so I dont mess up the sleep schedule

[untold palm]

Basically, going by VanillaRemade's Brainstorm, i believe you'd simply need to find a way to get the last Joker in the array instead of the first, but other mods with such jokers might do the trick better

[maiden phoenix]

Calc_dollar_bonus doesnt have context like calculate

[pastel kernel]

I’m looking at cryptid mod, at the chad joker

Retriggers the leftmost joker 2 times

[untold palm]

oh, i see, i'll see what i can do then

[maiden phoenix]

You can put your thing in calculate then reference the variable in calc_dollar_bonus

[stiff quiver]

the last joker is G.jokers.cards[#G.jokers.cards]

[untold palm]

oh, i see, thank you, i was afraid it wouldn't be able to be referenced, i'm just comming back to programming after years, and its first time with Lua

[lament agate]

modders, what do you usually do when adding a talisman support?

[primal robin]

You see a number? to_big

[lament agate]

all?

[primal robin]

Well you need only for comparisions

[maiden phoenix]

Cry

[lament agate]

thank you SDM

i will do the same after this

[lament agate]

mmmm

i see

i dont see any documentations for it though

so im a bit lost

on adding a talisman support

[maiden phoenix]

Check how other mods do it, I have talisman compat in mine

Last part in utils.lua and wherever I use to_big

[lament agate]

you got any links?

[lament agate]

also thats messed up

there should be a doc for it

[unborn bay]

simply dont support talisman

[maiden phoenix]

So true

[maiden phoenix]

There should not be existing in the first place

[maiden phoenix]

https://github.com/SDM0/SDM_0-s-Stuff/blob/988681dc845817a691e8e3221cfd0fddc971cb02/utils.lua#L279

Im on phone so I can properly fetch where I use to_big elsewhere

[lament agate]

-# theres a difference between a dev that love their playerbase and not

[lament agate]

what joker of yours that uses to_big?

[sleek cliff]

I have the idea... its almost there... but its not there,,,

[glass scaffold]

I genuinely do not understand why I can't get the black-colored Joker to appear.

Every time I attempt to change it, it either goes back to the Violet one or nothing at all.

Please help me from crashing out.

[lament agate]

isnt it 2, 2

too too

[lament agate]

thanks N

[lament agate]

so like

its just money thing?

[red flower]

read the last line

[glass scaffold]

Nope, that got the brown-colored one. But I think 1, 2 is gonna do it.

[lament agate]

so like

i wrap to_big to every

mults and chips?

[glass scaffold]

YOUR TOO TOO

[lament agate]

too too

[glass scaffold]

Also, it was 1, 2

[lament agate]

thats stupid

[glass scaffold]

WELCOME TO: Lua.

[red flower]

no, just when comparing with mult, hand_chips, G.GAME.chips or G.GAME.blind.chips

[lament agate]

ohhhh

okay

how do i do it tho

like

example

if i want to make a mult joker

talisman compat

[viral ember]

(btw the skin on the last 3 are the same as the ones above)

[red flower]

most of the time you don't need to unless you're comparing using < or >

[glass scaffold]

I'm doing coding, I HATE doing art assets.

[viral ember]

lol

I'm the opposite really

[lament agate]

OHHH

okay

i understand it

son of a bitch

[red flower]

that's fine because it's your own value

it's only when comparing with values that the game has by default

[lament agate]

noted

[pastel kernel]

Has there ever been a joker that disables a boss blind whenever it gets debuffed?

[red flower]

not that i have seen

[molten musk]

morning

[formal parrot]

Morning izz
