[molten musk]

nice pfp

so i was searching and found this context.consumeable.ability.set == "Tarot"
wanna change it to a specific consumable, not a set

is it .ability.key == "consumable key"??

[red flower]

no
.config.center.key

[molten musk]

so context.consumeable.config.center.key == "key"?

[red flower]

yes

[molten musk]

ok

[formal parrot]

Ty i drew it myself

[molten musk]

a famous artist in the making

guess i need an early autograph

:set_seal(nil,nil, true) how do i specify a seal to add?

do i add the seal key instead of one of the nils?

[formal parrot]

First nil

Replace with seal key

[molten musk]

ok ^^

do i need a prefix for seals?
like consumable is c_?

[gilded blaze]

seals actually use suffix

in localization file seal locs go a bit crazy

[molten musk]

what about custome seals, the need the mod prefix?

[gilded blaze]

mod prefix is a must

[molten musk]

so its modprefix_sealname_seal

[gilded blaze]

at first I intended to have my color streaks on playing cards be separate from seals, but figured that would be too powerful
so streaks in my mod act as seals

one of the keys is sgt_red_streak_seal

definitely normal for a seal

putting that aside
when declaring seals you just need a color key

[stiff quiver]

how can i add any text to the info queue? i want to add a text that isnt an object description

[molten musk]

so im trying to make the joker give a chance to "upgrade" a seal to a double seal

but its crashing at line 116 saying extra value is null

[stiff quiver]

because you renamed card to the highlited card

change its name to anything else

[gilded blaze]

it seems like

[molten musk]

hmm ok let me try

[gilded blaze]

you're working on a joker

but the code suggests you're working on a consumable instead

[stiff quiver]

can someone help me with this?

[molten musk]

umm

[molten musk]

what do u mean info queue?

[glass scaffold]

I keep seeing ERROR when I open the pack. Anyone got any fixes?

[stiff quiver]

in loc_vars, the info queue is to add little boxes of text like descriptions of jokers

for example this adds a box with the description of negative edition

[molten musk]

oh i see

[stiff quiver]

its group_name not group_text

[molten musk]

and u want to make your info queue show any text

[stiff quiver]

yeah i want it show another text

[molten musk]

so? what do i do?

[molten musk]

idk, maybe try putting a text between " " ?

[red flower]

add it to Other in the localization file and then reference it as { set = "Other", key = "entry key"}

[molten musk]

or take the experts saying

[glass scaffold]

Not working.

[molten musk]

still not working

[stiff quiver]

stupid question, if i dont have a localization file i have to make one right

[red flower]

yes

[stiff quiver]

makes sense

[stiff quiver]

dont know why, in my mod i have a pack with group_name and it does work

[molten musk]

someone?

anyone..

[red flower]

what part doesn't work? what have you tried? did you print the parts to see if things were as you expected?

[red flower]

im just going to copypaste this from now on

[molten musk]

haha

i tried and this is what it gives

[gilded blaze]

when you want to confirm if a chance-based object works, temporarily remove the probability check

[molten musk]

as for print i didnt do that

[molten musk]

hmm ok

[red flower]

you should
I'm guessing _S doesn't exist

[gilded blaze]

the crash may suggest that you can't use context.using_consumable to overwrite Red Seal

hook Card:set_seal instead

[molten musk]

hook?

never done hooks

[red flower]

what's the goal?

[molten musk]

the joker has a propability of upgrading a seal when using a spectral card that adds that seal to its double seal version

[red flower]

you should probably take_ownership of it then

[molten musk]

of what exactly?

[red flower]

the spectrals

[molten musk]

how? like code wise is it just take_ownership?

[red flower]

i dont have much experience with it
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#taking-ownership

[glass scaffold]

Does anyone know how to stop the Booster Pack from saying ERROR when opened?

[molten musk]

good enough

gonna read it

[red flower]

the answer is set a group_name

idk why's not working for you

[gilded blaze]

add field group_key = "modprefix_key_to_pack_group" to your booster pack object
then provide a string value for modprefix_key_to_pack_group in loc file

[glass scaffold]

Is there any way to accomplish it without using a loc file?

[gilded blaze]

if you're using loc_txt instead, provide a string value for group_name

[glass scaffold]

Using this, and still no dice

[gilded blaze]

💀

I don't use loc_txt that often

loc files are more consistent
and all loc entries can be found there, so it's a lot easier to manage

[stiff quiver]

what did i do wrong? ```lua
info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.localization.description.Other.Gleeb_desc

```lua
return {
    descriptions = {
    Other = {
    Gleeb_desc = {
name = "Gleebs",
text = {
"{C:green}Gleebs{} give ten times the",
"base chips than the other suits."}}}}}

[red flower]

you need to put what i said in info_queue

[stiff quiver]

oh now i get it, thanks

[gilded blaze]

oh yea, speaking of which

I can't exactly get the full desc with just {set = "OceanMap", key = "sgt_tropical"}

[hard mica]

Anyone know how I can make the keybind thing work?

[near bay]

why doesnt this work?

(im trying to make a seal have a 1 in 2 chance to retrigger and then a 1 in 2 chance to re trigger again over and over until it doesnt retrigger)

[red flower]

is oceanmap a consumabletype?

[gilded blaze]

nah, it's just raw description

[red flower]

then the game wont know to process it

[gilded blaze]

💀

[red flower]

use other

or patch/hook it in

[gilded blaze]

I see

[red flower]

try context.repetition

also you should use pseudorandom instead of math.random

[red flower]

no just pseudorandom("seed")

[red flower]

oh the return has to be repetitions with an s

[near bay]

do i do pseudorandom like this?

[red flower]

yes

[near bay]

alright and also it works!

thank you mr N

[snow vale]

how can i give a card a random enhancement, counting non-vanilla enhancements?

[formal parrot]

Enhancement_poll

[snow vale]

ok

[formal parrot]

Att

1 second

[snow vale]

wait

how do i use it?

[formal parrot]

SMODS.poll_enhancement({ guaranteed = true, type_key = 'key' })

[snow vale]

ok

[formal parrot]

Enhancement=

Or set enhancement

Forgot

[languid canopy]

hello there, im having trouble make my joker show up it's info... basicly it does nothing (placeholder intent lol) 2nd img is the code for it and 3rd img is the localization part for it... i tried to put a loc_text{} in the joker code however it makes the game crash instantly... can someone please help ?

[snow vale]

set ability

[formal parrot]

I use it for create card

[formal parrot]

You have no loc_txt

[gilded blaze]

you did not include your mod prefix and class prefix

should be j_modprefix_JOKER_PlaceHolder

[gilded blaze]

goofy ah loc_txt user who knows nothing about loc file

[hardy dawn]

im just gonna put it here, due to the other chat being rather clogged

asking me to use a version which hasn't released yet??

[formal parrot]

I actually don’t but since they’re starting that’s the most easier approach

[languid canopy]

mb, my very first mod lolz also very first time using lua, seems funies

[formal parrot]

It is funsies

[gilded blaze]

but they chose to start with loc file, why not provide full support

[formal parrot]

Take small steps

[gilded blaze]

it's more recommended than loc_txt anyway

but Ig you're right

[formal parrot]

The 1000 miles journey starts with one step

[languid canopy]

uh where

me dum

[formal parrot]

I can link the wiki

If you want

You can find your mod prefix in your json file

[gilded blaze]

replace JOKER_PlaceHolder with j_modprefix_JOKER_PlaceHolder

[formal parrot]

Localization file is a separate file

[languid canopy]

oh right

[snow vale]

wdym by type_key?

[gilded blaze]

if someone is starting out, it's likely they're using mod header instead of json 💀

[formal parrot]

https://github.com/Steamodded/Wiki/blob/73d09515b17d66bfb846aa86fe0e90f99c611287/Localization.md

[languid canopy]

no im using the json thingy

[gilded blaze]

alr cool

you should be fine since mod prefix is required in json

[formal parrot]

Your joker key i assume (i type anything)

[snow vale]

e

ok

[red flower]

either use this version of smods
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

or this version of jokerdisplay
https://github.com/nh6574/JokerDisplay/releases/tag/v1.8.4.2

[formal parrot]

I need to make a tutorial once i finish my exams

[gilded blaze]

eh

[formal parrot]

People tend to

Not read

[snow vale]

how can i make so the cards i enhance do the flip animation thing?

[red flower]

copy it from the vanilla cards

[snow vale]

guessed

[red flower]

vanillaremade has plenty of examples

[snow vale]

yeah ok

[hardy dawn]

was the steammodded version

weird

the newer version wasn't on the latest releases

gotta be trolling

[red flower]

it hasn't released yet

that jokerdisplay version also hasn't released but i forgot mod manager takes from the latest commit

[hardy dawn]

what the fuck

now everything crashes

gg

ill just use the old version

[molten musk]

so i found a solution and it worked perfectly for 1 seal at first

proceeded to add the other seals

they dont work

only the first one

[snow vale]

does every used tarot/spectral/planet juice up when used?

[languid canopy]

oh well at least it didn't crashed lol, i changed the key of the joker to j_shrimp_JOKER_PlaceHolder (modprefix is shrimp) in the joker file and the localization file but still nothing appears, sadje

[languid canopy]

did i miss something ?

[red flower]

wdym in the joker file?

[formal parrot]

No

[languid canopy]

JOKER_PlaceHolder.lua its called for me

[formal parrot]

key=“yourJOKERKEY”
In localization you call it with
J_yourModprefix_yourJOKERKEY

[languid canopy]

oh well

[gilded blaze]

it's lowercase j_

[languid canopy]

ima try

[formal parrot]

😭please stop pointing upper and lowercase i’m on phone it automatically does that for me

[red flower]

i mean it is kinda important

[languid canopy]

YES

works

thanks heaven and huy 👌

[gilded blaze]

I've developed a habit to turn off the auto-shift key at start of sentence when I type on phone

[red flower]

i dont have it, i hate uppercase

[gilded blaze]

that way, no one can easily recognize I'm on phone

I'm just too used at having my message be informal

[formal parrot]

Have some pepsi

[red flower]

posting this again in case someone wants an example of the new probability stuff
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/pull/20

[gilded blaze]

I actually regret upgrading to W11

the cost of not having a dedicated GPU

things were way smoother back in W10

[hardy dawn]

gpu would put that at like 700

oof

[gilded blaze]

what can you expect from an office laptop

good thing I'm not a fan of AAA games

[formal parrot]

Mobile like dragging

[gilded blaze]

yep

[molten musk]

done with this joker 🎉

4 jokers done, 7 more to go

[languid canopy]

well hello again (lolz) how am i supposed to code the wiggly thingy happening to the "probabilities" in the localization ? i can't find anything

[tawdry oriole]

{C:green,E:1}probabilities{} -> E:1 makes it wavy, E:2 makes it bumpy

[languid canopy]

oh very nice

[tawdry oriole]

is there a way to change the amount of jokers currently owned? (the 1 in 1/5)

not through changing the currently owned jokers though, purely by changing the variable

[red flower]

not without breaking everything i dont think

you can maybe add a dummy joker

[tawdry oriole]

that could work yeah

[red flower]

idk how that would interact with moving jokers around tho

[long sun]

hiya! how does SMODS.create_card work? (what arguments does it accept?)

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[long sun]

awesome, thanks :D

[languid canopy]

how does oops all sixes works ? 🦐

[tawdry oriole]

it changes G.GAME.probabilities.normal and doubles it
(it normally starts at 1, doubles for each oops all sixes currently active)

[languid canopy]

i see 👌

[tawdry oriole]

is there a way to make a joker unsellable? (not eternal, i want it gone at some point)

[maiden phoenix]

You still need help w this?

[red flower]

yes, hook into Card:can_sell_card

[tawdry oriole]

alright thanks 🙏

[formal parrot]

How can i force trigger gold/ steel cards

[summer furnace]

Is there some way to make balatro close, with a joker or tarot card? I need it for a joke

[formal parrot]

Check cryptid code for “crash”

[summer furnace]

I looked through it, I don't want it to crash I want it to close, but if there is no other option I'll just crash the game

[tawdry oriole]

how would you get the current blind requirements?

nvm i got it

[red flower]

love.event.quit()

[summer furnace]

thanks!

[tawdry oriole]

any clue why the text doesnt scale accordingly with the loc_txt?

afaik it worked with s:2 but it just won't do it with values below 1

[red flower]

as far as i see it it shouldnt work at all

{s:0.8,V:3}

[tawdry oriole]

oh and now it works

does it need to be in the same brackets?

[red flower]

yes

the previous format ends as soon as it finds another {

[tawdry oriole]

ohh alright

that makes sense thank you

[runic pecan]

How to check if a consumeable has negative edition or not?
(I'm sure the one in the pic is not it.)

[summer furnace]

Does os.execute() work for Balatro modding? and if yes how could I make a path like folder1\folder2\blabla.exe

[runic pecan]

The codes are still essentially Lua, so everything Lua is capable of should be doable here, I hope.

[summer furnace]

oh okay! thanks!

[modern kindle]

[uncut cloud]

hey yall ive been trying to get dynatext to work since im trying to work with a timer based joker and i have no idea how to get these to work together since as it is its not really updating live like misprint does which is kinda what i want but with the timer so you dont have to hover over it over and over again to recheck the time and can see the timer increase in real time

this is my first time really working with dynatext so i may have just forgotten something

[formal parrot]

Did you check how missprint does it

[uncut cloud]

checked the vanilla remade version of misprint

[uncut cloud]

this cuts off but this is the code for vanilla remade which i dont really see if i missed anything

[red flower]

you don't need dynatext, you need to save the value to a global table and use ref_table and ref_value either in a dynatext or a normal text node

[uncut cloud]

i'll try to figure that out then

thanks

[modern kindle]

im satisfied enough with that i think

[lament agate]

can you write something that checks if an atlas missing, it quits the game

[runic pecan]

How do I check what deck the player is currently playing?

[runic pecan]

I'm fairly sure the game would just crash if any atlas is missing.

[red flower]

G.GAME.selected_back iirc

[modern kindle]

hi n

my goaty woaty

[red flower]

hii dilly

[modern kindle]

do you like my little shader

[lament agate]

oh goodies

[red flower]

it's cool

[modern kindle]

we should go out to dinner

[formal parrot]

My fucking eyes

[modern kindle]

you fucking hate me

[lament agate]

i

KNEEL

[modern kindle]

i was thinkin about crts cause i have to buy one soon so i wanted to make something that reminded me of it

[primal terrace]

I fucking love elseif statements!!!

[pastel maple]

heya im kinda new to making mods in balatro and im trying make a mod but it always does "[SMODS _ "src/game_object.lua"]:408: Failed to collect file data for Atlas MoreXMultiplers_MoreXMultiplers"

[placid star]

does anyone know how often G.STATE gets updated

[red flower]

is the file in assets

[red flower]

every time the state of the game changes, there's no set time

[placid star]

ahh so it doesnt get updated every frame?

[red flower]

no

it gets updated when you take actions

[pastel maple]

the lua thing no and json but the rest yea

[red flower]

can i see how the assets folder is structured

[mild grove]

So idk what's causing this crash, or why there's a lot of nul joker objects being created, can anyone help me with these problems?

[pastel maple]

nvm i found the issue through the way the example jokers assets folder was structed mb nvm it still happens

[red flower]

you are loading 4 mods as if they were 1 mod that might cause issues

unless you have a main file and a json you didnt post

[mild grove]

well, i did have all the 4 mods into 1 main file, but i tried to break them into smaller files so i can manage it easier then use the main file to load them all

[red flower]

try removing all the headers

[mild grove]

wdym headers?

wait nvm

i see what you mean

[pastel maple]

heres all the stuff i can send to make it easier to see what's the problem as the cant file data of Atlas thing still happens

[red flower]

1x and 2x

[pastel maple]

oh

[mild grove]

so um, The issue is still happening where the nul jokers are still spawning, and the game still crashes after trying to select a deck

sorry for the flood

[tepid crow]

brother you cannot be dumping 5 files with a total size of 60+ kb in chat and expect anyone to go through the trouble to help you

get a minimum reproducible example first

by the time you have that, there's also a 50% chance you found the issue yourself

(https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example if you have no idea wtf I'm talking about)

[normal crest]

Why is your deck atlas position 3.01

[lament agate]

3.01 😭

[mild grove]

some sprites, i had an issue getting to display properly

[normal crest]

In every deck that starts with a joker you didn't properly do the config

[normal crest]

That's just not how position is meant to wotk

[mild grove]

oh

[pastel kernel]

}

is this how i'm supposed to write the json?

[open tapir]

how do i make a joker that replaces the boss blind music and also has mult

[daring fern]

No.

[pastel kernel]

no?

[open tapir]

like is it the same code as the mult with a replace music thing.

[daring fern]

You're missing a , also it is display_name

[open tapir]

because i wanted to make a joke card in my mod pack that replaces the boss blind music with kevin macleod

[pastel kernel]

ok now what?

[open tapir]

what i mean by this is like a joker card with a 2.5x mult that replaces the boss blind music and i dont know how to code the music to be replaced with another audio file

[placid star]

why doesnt this work? it doesnt even print 'true', i made sure i had 6 or more dollars in testing and i also tried changing it so that being in deck doesnt ppause the game

[red flower]

where are you patching

[placid star]

card.lua

[red flower]

where exactly

[red flower]

it would be more useful to screenshot the dump

[placid star]

omg, card doesnt have a value here huh

[sleek cliff]

Oh, yes please, this is the closest I got

[umbral briar]

um, how would I make it so a joker scales with using a certain type of consumable? like constellation and fortune teller, but with spectral cards. I've figured out how to make it scale with all consumable uses but not specific types (I'm very new to all of this..)

[misty gorge]

trying to hook level_up_hand but it throws "attempt to call field "upgrade_hand" (a nil value) ghg

[maiden phoenix]

Replace the if key by if context.card.config.center.key

[maiden phoenix]

Put the hook outside of calculate and the object itself

[red flower]

context.consumeable.ability.set == "Spectral" in the using consumable context

[umbral briar]

thank you so much!!

[misty gorge]

Well it doesn't crash now but whenever I try to add ("Straight") or any arguments it crashes with the same error, do I just put hand = "Straight" in the calculate_context?

[maiden phoenix]

contexts aren't function

[maiden phoenix]

Try

SMODS.calculate_context({upgrade_hand = {amount >=1}, hand = hand})

...

if context.upgrade_hand and context.hand == "Straight" then

[misty gorge]

thanks, this works perfectly!

[pure salmon]

alright this is actually way better

[tawdry oriole]

how do you use SMODS.blueprint_effect more than once with SMODS.merge_effects??

[pure salmon]

thanks john smods

[wintry solar]

Store the return values to put into merge effects

[tawdry oriole]

oh its that easy?

this error pops up though

[wintry solar]

Can you show the code?

[tawdry oriole]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if true then
            local other_joker = nil
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i + 1] end
            end
            local merge = {}
            for i=0, card.ability.extra.retriggers do
                merge[i] = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context)
            end
            return SMODS.merge_lists(merge)
        end
    end

card.ability.extra.retriggers is equal to 2 right now

[placid star]

why does my card draw to hand flipped? _true is a card btw

[red flower]

if you emplace directly from the deck it will be face down if thats what youre doing

you need to use one of the draw card functions

[placid star]

ahh

[tawdry oriole]

still a problem, can't figure out why

[wintry solar]

What card is it copying

[tawdry oriole]

it's copying the basic joker for now

just to test it out

[wintry solar]

Oh

Make sure that blueprint effect is actually returning something

[tawdry oriole]

i mean it is returning something since returning it instead of SMODS.merge_lists does copy the effect

[final jewel]

how do we check the edition of card held in hand ?

[wintry solar]

No you need to check that it exists before sending it to merge effects

Otherwise you end up trying to return a table that’s like {extra ={}} in any context it doesn’t trigger

So the repetition error will shout at you

[tawdry oriole]

ohh i see

so i should try to see if the table is empty?

[placid star]

card.edition ?

why does my draw_card create ghost cards bruh 😭

[final jewel]

yeah I have this :
if card and card.edition then
if card.edition.holo == true then

but it doesnt work

[wintry solar]

Yeah pretty much, just store the return and do if next(ret)

[placid star]

show code, but also id do if ...edition.type == 'holo' then

[placid star]

put a print('true') below if card and card.edition then and a second print under if card.edition.holo == true then check in game

[final jewel]

kk I'll try that

[wintry solar]

Card here is the joker btw

[placid star]

didnt even notice that until i thought abt a solution away from my rig lol

[placid star]

🥺

[wintry solar]

You should also just change the return to mult = card.ability….

[final jewel]

I don't know what happend in the code now but it give mult normaly and mult at the end_of the round, kinda weird

normaly means like how how want the card to work

[wintry solar]

Add and context.main_scoring

[final jewel]

kk

[red flower]

context.main_eval

[final jewel]

but I found that it only work when my joker is holo

[wintry solar]

Oh shit yeah it’s a joker my bad

[rotund sable]

so i have this joker and when blueprint/brainstorm try to copy it the message shows below the joker instead of below the blueprint/brainstorm

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind then
            return {
                func = function()
                    SMODS.calculate_effect(
                                { message = "+"..tostring(card.ability.extra.discards).." Discards" },
                                context.blueprint_card or card)
                    G.GAME.current_round.discards_left = G.GAME.current_round.discards_left + card.ability.extra.discards
                    return true
                end,
                extra = {
                    func = function()
                        G.GAME.current_round.hands_left = card.ability.extra.hands
                        return true
                    end,
                colour = G.C.GREEN
                }
            }
        end
    end

can i get some help on this?

[red flower]

card is the joker
you want context.other_card probably

[shell timber]

wouldn't that be the needle if anything

[wintry solar]

It’s because you’re using calc effect instead of normal messages

The blueprint card from the context isn’t stored for the event

[rotund sable]

How do I render a normal message?

Sorry I'm new

[tawdry oriole]

that is indeed what happens but now i'm just unsure on how to fix it

[sleek cliff]

gyeheheh, its works now, thamnk :))

how do i make it Xmult and not +Mult ?

[wintry solar]

local ret = blueprint_effect
if next(ret) then
  merge[i] = ret
end```

[final jewel]

xmult_mod I think

[wintry solar]

No

Just xmult =

[final jewel]

yeah right mb

[tawdry oriole]

tried it and crashed, unsure why since next(ret) should work as per the next() documentation

[sleek cliff]

ok, now I need help with this code, I need it to select one joker from a specific set and replace it with a joker of the same set

[tawdry oriole]

edit: had the wrong return, but still does the same "retrigger" error in game.

[sleek cliff]

I was told to specify that it should be a joker, but i have no idea how I would do that

maybe by riffraf

wait no nvm

how can i get the grey text under the x?? [buggy text]

[tawdry oriole]

edit: i'm slowly figuring out how it works

[wintry solar]

needs a if next(merge) then return SMODS.merge_lists(merge) end too

[tawdry oriole]

right

[red flower]

shouldnt it be merge effects

[tawdry oriole]

yeah that i figured out already

took me a good hour though 😭

[rapid stag]

would it be possible to make an SMODS.DrawStep that constantly does the juice animation on the floating sprite the same way the soul does?

[tawdry oriole]

still not working

[red flower]

update smods

[rapid stag]

...wait a minute, why don't i just patch the relevant line in card.lua to have another way to enter the draw condition

[mild grove]

My game crashes, when trying to go the Lucky deck, is something wrong with my config?

[red flower]

the jokers table is not closed

or well it's closed wrong

[mild grove]

so closed like this?

[red flower]

yes

[mild grove]

ah ty

well doing that seems to break the other code

[red flower]

you need to delete the extra }

after no_interest

[mild grove]

ty

[sleek cliff]

why is there an extra blank line between each line

[mild grove]

it helps me read the lines of code better

[sleek cliff]

alrighty

[sleek cliff]

bump :)

[gaunt coral]

how do i get the amount of remaining cards in the deck? cant find the answer

[copper thorn]

bump

[rapid stag]

try G.deck.config.card_limit

[tawdry oriole]

update (once again); this doesnt crash (yippee) but it doesn't do anything either (the table is apparently empty, as per the print i had placed?)

[red flower]

1. i think blueprint_effect shouldn't be in a table
2. you're returning as soon as merge is not empty because the if condition is inside the loop

[tawdry oriole]

so more like something as such?

[red flower]

yes but now you need to change next(ret) to ret and next(ret)

oh and it should be merge[#merge+1] instead of merge[i]

[tawdry oriole]

alright i'm gonna try the changes out

IT WORKS

HURRAY

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[red flower]

🔥

[gaunt coral]

this gives me the maximum size of the deck, not the amount of remaining cards

[red flower]

#G.deck.cards

?

[gaunt coral]

perfect, thank you

[rapid stag]

this didn't work, however i've just been trying to straight up use the code from card.lua and it's drawing a second floating sprite, regardless of whether i do it in the object's draw or in a drawstep

how can i make it draw only the one floating sprite that does the juice animation

how can i tell if i'm currently viewing an item in collection

[sonic cedar]

did you click on collection

[red flower]

card.area and card.area.config.type == 'title'
this is how to do list does it

[sonic cedar]

why does to do list need that

oh wait

never mind I know exactly why to do list needs that

[red flower]

to have the seed not affect the run

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[rapid stag]

is it card.discovered or card.config.discovered?
card.config.center.discovered

[tawdry oriole]

how would you choose which cards to create in a booster pack (with a forced key)?

[rapid stag]

i've tried a bucnh of things, i have no idea how to get rid of the extra sprite

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[rapid stag]

same thing the soul does, juicing sprite. but doing this drawstep creates an additional floating sprite that juices, when i want it instead of the normal floating sprite

the sprite is doubled

[sonic cedar]

it does give a pretty cool effect though

[rapid stag]

hmmmm

[sonic cedar]

not saying dont remove it ofc it's just neat

[daring fern]

What I did was I put the soul in a sprite then drew that on it, and that worked.

[rapid stag]

fair

[pastel torrent]

??

wow never got that one before

[tawdry oriole]

how would i create more than one card? (with different forced keys)

[daring fern]

You can't create multiple cards in one slot of a booster pack.

[tawdry oriole]

oh would i need to use an index then?

[pastel torrent]

Saw rarity was set to 0

💔

[red flower]

create_card has a third argument which is the index

[tawdry oriole]

how would i utilise it for multiple cards though cause i tried this and it crashed

[red flower]

that but without the for loop

and also the return should not be a table inside a table

[tawdry oriole]

right thanks

[rapid stag]

remind me how i get to the joker's name from G.jokers.highlighted[1]?
G.jokers.highlighted[1].config.center.name

[red flower]

the name or the key?

[tawdry oriole]

edit: still doesn't work but for a different reason

[rapid stag]

wait no, that's not going to work because i want to take into account the name malverk can change it to

[red flower]

you need the localized name?

[rapid stag]

oh can i just localize the key and that will do it?

[daring fern]

You put j.reserved_parking

[red flower]

i think you need to delete all the local except the first

[tawdry oriole]

that works

[red flower]

localize{type = "name_text", set = "Joker", key = G.jokers.highlighted[1].config.center.key}

[tawdry oriole]

thanks!!

[modern schooner]

Hey can someone pls explain how do i use this function ? Like with an example : replace: Replace the specified sound with this one whenever it is played.

[pastel torrent]

give money method?

[daring fern]

replace = "modprefix_soundkey"

[red flower]

ease_dollars(value)

[modern schooner]

where do i put the sound who is being replaced ?

[pastel torrent]

thanks

[modern schooner]

I have been trying to replace the 5 base sound of balatro with this command with another song in my sound file

how can i do that

?

[daring fern]

replace = "key"

[pastel torrent]

quick question is this correct usage of the method? (assuming is first card is already declared)

    ease_dollars(5)
end```

[modern schooner]

and where do i put this command ? i can't seem to understand

[daring fern]

In the sound.

[daring fern]

Yes.

[modern schooner]

let me explain what i am trying to do :

[pastel torrent]

uhm I guess not?

perhaps did smth wrong

idk

[daring fern]

What is that line in the lovely dump?

[faint yacht]

Huh, weird, the probability changes kinda affect the pitches of some events...

[pastel torrent]

txt file or console?

[pastel torrent]

I think there is a dumb txt

or like a log thing

[daring fern]

No, Mods/lovely/dump/functions/misc_functions.lua

[modern schooner]

i am trying to replace the 5 balatro base songs with my own song only when a joker is obtained like with the add_to_deck function

[pastel torrent]

is this what ur asking for?

[pastel torrent]

mb then

wait I think I found the correct thing

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

is it?

[daring fern]

No, that is not the lovely dump.

[pastel torrent]

oh wait

yeah thats for round end I think

though

P_Dollars seems the one Im searching for

[vocal bramble]

I'm working on a joker that has a chance to add a purple seal to a random played card.

I was testing it with OA6's and it doesn't seem to be affecting the probability for some reason and idk why

(if my code looks stupid it's because I'm stupid and have never used Lua before)

[daring fern]

What SMODS version do you have?

[vocal bramble]

I believe the most recent

[daring fern]

Release or commit?

[vocal bramble]

1.0.0~BETA-0615a-STEAMODDED taken from the version.lua file

(pls forgive me if I sound like I don't know what I'm doing, I'm still very new to modding)

[drowsy heath]

Why is modding killing me my sleep has reversed. Its now 9pm and I just woke up i fell asleep at 8am

How am I supposed to fix ts, I have plans to go to lightwater valley with my family this weekend

Im cooked

[placid star]

does anyone know why my draw_card() creates ghost cards?

[red flower]

you're emplacing the card in hand and also drawing it

[drowsy heath]

Somehow even i managed to see that, I think I'm finally understanding lua properly

[placid star]

shit i forgor to remove that ty

does anyone know if playing cards have unique ids?

[modern kindle]

What do you mean

[daring fern]

Yes.

[languid canopy]

hello there, im currently having trouble making a new tab in my mod's infos, weirdly the 'credit' tab works perfectly fine but the links tab makes the game crash instantly tho they both have the exact same way of working, am i doing smth wrong ?(problematic code on img)

[red flower]

i dont think click exists

and B is not a "button" node

[languid canopy]

🤔

[red flower]

you want something like this
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/a2630a0a7873651ec8280a97ac8652988c2e3cc6/src/mod_info.lua#L65

[languid canopy]

not the whole thing, is it ?

[red flower]

?

[languid canopy]

im not supposed to shove the whole thing into my code, right?

[red flower]

no, just replace the B node for the UIBox_button

and you have to define functions separately for the links

[modern kindle]

N

[placid star]

do u know where theyre stored?

[daring fern]

card.playing_card

[rapid stag]

was testing something, moused over my deck and my game crashed 🥴

[normal crest]

I think that was an issue with steamodded

try updating

[faint yacht]

...retriggering OA6s is... wild.

[modern kindle]

i dont think ive ever seen smt use that react and it threw me off for a sec lmao

hi smt

[languid canopy]

works perfectly, thanks, it just shows up ERROR for some reason but besides that all goods 👌

[red flower]

i was going to suggest adding a parameter to get probability vars so it doesn't trigger messages and stuff when looking at tooltips

[faint yacht]

...tbh, I don't think probability modifying items should be retriggerable.

[languid canopy]

nvm i found

dum localization

[analog ibex]

Hey I've been working on mod ideas but I have a couple questions

What modding software is the easiest to use with little coding background knowledge

[red flower]

there's no easy fully featured modding software yet sadly, you will have to code
vscode with the lua extension and the steamodded auto complete is your best option

i recommend checking the pinne thread in #⚙・modding-general

[languid canopy]

do you guys have any clue of how the smeared joker works ? or even better, you guys have any clue of where its straight up code is located in the files ?

[vast night]

yippe

its me again

can anyone help me w that? even when i have 4 jokers and evaling G.jokers with db+ this code says that the lenght of G.jokers is 0

        print(#G.jokers)
        for i, joker in ipairs(G.jokers) do
            print(i, joker)
            joker:set_ability('j_joker')
        end

[faint yacht]

Simpler: check SMODS.smeared_check(card, suit).
Vanilla: check is_suit(suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/fbfeb4d2e14111c9c47706f71cc25c7b50e021c9/src/jokers.lua#L3390

[red flower]

#G.jokers.cards

[languid canopy]

thats insane

thanks

[vast night]

i forgot that it has .cards, but even printing #G returns 0

like
its only 20 lines

[red flower]

wdym

[daring fern]

Yes, because G is key indexed, not number indexed.

[vast night]

true

[prime wadi]

hi

[wind steppe]

how would i make negatives more likely to appear in a deck?

[prime wadi]

i need help

i don't know what is wrong here and i'm new

[daring fern]

local oldenegativegetweight = G.P_CENTERS.e_negative.get_weight
SMODS.Edition:take_ownership('e_negative', {
    get_weight = function(self)
        local weight = oldenegativegetweight(self)
        if G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == "b_modprefix_key" then
            -- change weight
        end
        return weight
    end
}, true)

[feral tree]

well obviously you need more then the key and the loc text

[wind steppe]

no but the joker should appear

[wind steppe]

whats the issue

[wind steppe]

itll just do jackshit with no texture

[wintry solar]

hmmm, I think there's actually a lot of calculation effects that affect the pitch when they shouldn't now, I wonder what the best way around it is

[feral tree]

isn't it gonna default to the base joker atlas?

[prime wadi]

i don't know

[wind steppe]

yeah so itll be jimbo

[feral tree]

think it's a memory thing

[prime wadi]

i'm new modding balatro i don't know anything

[normal dune]

i trying to create a joker like the basic joker but for chips but how i write the part of "mult_mod" to chips?

[daring fern]

Is the file in 1x and 2x?

[prime wadi]

whait

it's 1x no x1?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[prime wadi]

i'm stupid

[placid star]

does anyone have an example of a card area in a joker description?

[feral tree]

change those file names, Check if you have the same joker art in both files, 2x being twice as big and you should be good to go 👍

[prime wadi]

here is

[feral tree]

That's not supposed to look like that isn't it?

[normal dune]

how i write "mult_mod" but to chips, isn't "chips_mod" or is?

[wintry solar]

just do chips = X

[prime wadi]

why isn't the sprite

?

[feral tree]

appearing?

[prime wadi]

yeah

i don't understeand so much english sorry ;-;

[feral tree]

atlas = 'Jokers'

you create an atlas, then add the key to the jokers you want it to appear on

learning some more ins and outs of music modding. I assume the select_music_track function specifies the conditions with which the music track plays, right? then what is with the and 99 in the select_music_track function? what does that do?

[viral ember]

go back a page then come back

[mild grove]

Does anyone know if VanillaRemade is going to add the tags?

Stuff like Uncommon Tag, Rare Tag and etc

[red flower]

i have no plans but i might do it at some point if i feel like it
or someone else can pr it

[red flower]

wrong link sorry lol

[fringe patrol]

wrong reply?

yeah no worries

[red flower]

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

this one

[fringe patrol]

mmm so the number is a priority?

[red flower]

yes

[fringe patrol]

gotcha. last question, how do the ANDs and ORs work in correlation exactly here?

like does any OR condition automatically make the whole condition true?

[red flower]

return condition and value1 or value2
is the same as

if condition and value1 then
    return value1
else
    return value2

do i need to download lua to fully mod? im on windows

[feral tree]

I have a booster pack that draws jokers from a pool. However, if I already have some of the jokers from that pool in hand, it defaults to giving me the base joker. Is there a way to make it only draw jokers I don't already have, instead of drawing them along with defaults?

[red flower]

no, you run lua in-game

[calm kiln]

thank god.

[wind steppe]

what's talisman's localization message for ^^chips? trying to make a scaling ^^chips joker

[red flower]

i dont think so (easily), you can define a different default joker depending on how you set up the pool

[daring fern]

^^#1# Chips?

[wind steppe]

i mean the key

can you stop with the ❓

[feral tree]

cant even do anything for jokers?

[daring fern]

The key of what?

[wind steppe]

the message

[red flower]

wdym

[wind steppe]

that talisman uses to denote ^^chips

that message

[daring fern]

In the localization?

[wind steppe]

yknow what i just realized that message isnt actually the right one

[feral tree]

A joker that creates a joker from a pool, already having all the jokers so it draws Jimbo instead

[wind steppe]

            return {
                message = localize({type = "variable", key = "para_powpowchips", vars = {number_format(to_big(card.ability.extra.eechips))}}),
                colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION,
                message_card = card
            }

why does this return error when para_powpowchips exists in the localization

[daring fern]

Is it in v_dictionary?

[red flower]

not easily, you would have to define the behavior yourself i think

[wind steppe]

yeah

[drowsy heath]

Is this idea possible, a legendary joker in which it retriggers every joker once but that number increases every round, however it like seltzer only lasts so many rounds till its gone

[daring fern]

It needs to be {"^^#1# Chips"}

[drowsy heath]

Idea inspired by cyberpunk, the loss of uses each round being more chrome applied which i turn gives more retriggers but it goes when it turns cyberpunk psycho

[wind steppe]

why is the message error

[daring fern]

Remove your mod prefix.

[wind steppe]

still says error

[daring fern]

Log?

[wind steppe]

wdym log

it doesn't crash

just shows ERROR instead of ^^1.5 chips or whatever

why does the message show as ERROR

[daring fern]

Add the _

[drowsy heath]

I was gunna say yeah the key and the dictionary dont line up,

Idk if thats what u were on abt but thats what I saw

Wdym

Now i get what ur trying to do but that is beyond my capability try ask @red flower

[red flower]

id rather not get tagged to answer stuff please

[drowsy heath]

Sorry

[red flower]

try these

What is the joker in cryptid that retriggers other jokers i tried looking for it but cryptids code is a mess I cant find anything 🤣

[daring fern]

Chad

It's in misc_joker.lua

[drowsy heath]

Thank you

[fluid burrow]

Does anyone know why the debuff isn't removed at the end of the round?

[ember cedar]

running some testing, why doesn't this code grant random enhancements / editions to scored cards?

[scenic elm]

where does the get_highest() come from and what does it do?

i've searched through the lovely git repo and the smods git repo, to no avail

[daring fern]

It gets the highest card, for High Card

It's in the source code.

[drowsy heath]

how would i change this to retrigger all jokers ive made edits to the cryptid chad code, what else would i need to do coz im ,lost

[scenic elm]

so theoretically i could use it to get the highest ranked card in a non high card hand?

[daring fern]

Yes.

is math.sqrt a thing

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

thanks

[gleaming yew]

is there a way to detect when any card's rank or suit is changed?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[gleaming yew]

How do you do it?

[daring fern]

Hook Card:set_base

[mental nacelle]

is it possible to set a tooltip to show the description of a Sticker?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wind steppe]

yknow generally when people ask if somethings possible they also want to know how to do it

[mental nacelle]

as in the same way you'd put a tooltip in for a joker in the description of another joker

[mental nacelle]

he is technically giving me the answer i asked for, i guess

[gleaming yew]

,,,can I get some more explanation??

[daring fern]

I have this for checking if the suit has changed, ```lua
local oldcardsetbase = Card.set_base
function Card:set_base(card, initial)
if self and self.base and self.ability and card and self.playing_card and card.suit ~= self.base.suit and ((not table.contains(self.ability.soe_suits or {}, card.suit)) or (not table.contains(self.ability.soe_suits or {}, self.base.suit))) then
self.ability.soe_suits = self.ability.soe_suits or {}
if not table.contains(self.ability.soe_suits, self.base.suit) then table.insert(self.ability.soe_suits, self.base.suit) end
table.insert(self.ability.soe_suits, card.suit)
end
return oldcardsetbase(self, card, initial)
end

[lament agate]

how do decrease a blind requirement

with a joker

[drowsy heath]

Well this just isn't doing anything what have I done wrong ?

[daring fern]

Change G.GAME.blind.chips

[lament agate]

thanks

[daring fern]

Remove the if context.other_card == G.jokers.cards[1] then if

[red flower]

you need to update the text too
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/a2630a0a7873651ec8280a97ac8652988c2e3cc6/src/jokers/11BurningAbyss.lua#L65

[lament agate]

finally using joyousspring

[drowsy heath]

Okay

[lament agate]

but thanks

[red flower]

i never use it because it has a bunch of util functions that get people confused 😭

[mild grove]

The Game crashes on start up.

when i try to get the Orbital tag working, via a utils.

[drowsy heath]

It still does nothing

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

Remove the else return nil, true end

Also change repetitions to just be card.ability.extra.retriggers

[drowsy heath]

I did all that and I'm still getting diddly squat....

[daring fern]

Code?

[drowsy heath]

ive not misinterpreted you have i

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[drowsy heath]

Oh what did I do wrong

Did u mean replace the whole thing g

And not just make it that in the math.min

[lament agate]

wait fuck the number

what i did wrong here

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

G.playing_cards doesn't always exist.

[drowsy heath]

If your saying it would read repetitions = {card.ability.extra.retriggers} then that didn't work

[lament agate]

doesnt always?

huh

what should i do then

[daring fern]

Remove the {}

[daring fern]

G.playing_cards and #G.playing_cards or 52

[lament agate]

in both the loc vars and calculate?

[daring fern]

Only in loc_vars

[drowsy heath]

So after that it should work

Bcoz funny story

[lament agate]

arlgith thanks

[mild grove]

Yes i have tried JoyousSpring, but I get nothing but crashes

[vast night]

hi

[red flower]

is that your whole utils file

[vast night]

does some1 know how i can run a function every frame or every second? not for a joker but in the main mod lua file

[red flower]

hook Game:update

[vast night]

another hook 💀

k

thx

[red flower]

no

[mild grove]

yep

[red flower]

that code only runs once when the mod loads and almost nothing in the game exists, that's why the crash happens

you need to do the things in that file inside a function

and then call the function in your joker

[mild grove]

Alright, i'll see what i can do

[red flower]

i would recommend literally copying the example i showed you lol

[mild grove]

so the entire code of this?

[lament agate]

how do you add

factorial mult

@formal parrot

[vast night]

hmm. do you know how i can make dt be passed onto it? it crashes 4 some reason

local update_old = Game.update
Game.update = function(dt)
    -- pre hook
    local ret = update_old(dt)
    -- post hook

[formal parrot]

Oh sure

Remember the xmoney ?

[red flower]

yes and replace JoyousSpring.add_random_tag for function modprefix_add_random_tag

[lament agate]

ja

[formal parrot]

Okay so you have a variable in config

Mult=

5

[mild grove]

Alright

[lament agate]

mult = 5?

[formal parrot]

Local var1=5x4x3x2x1 ,
Essentially in a for

Then return xmult=var1

With different message

And color

[red flower]

you're missing a reference to self

local game_update_ref = Game.update
function Game:update(dt)
    local ret = game_update_ref(self, dt)
end

[lucid owl]

don't you just want a loop of like
mult = 5
(loop start)
mult_minus = mult - 1
total = total + (mult * mult_minus)
mult = mult - 1

repeat

[formal parrot]

In config

I gave you an example

[red flower]

the : is important

[vast night]

oooh i forgot that

[lament agate]

what in the fuck

[formal parrot]

You can just use the loop counter

[formal parrot]

Do you know how factorial works

[lament agate]

i DO

but like

[formal parrot]

Yeaj

[lament agate]

can you like

write in

it

in a codeblock

[red flower]

xmult = 1
for i= 1, 5 do
    xmult = xmult * i
end

[formal parrot]

Thanks N

[lament agate]

OHHHHHHHHHH

okay

[lucid owl]

yea

[lament agate]

so in theory, thats ^5 Mult right

[formal parrot]

Replace 5 with your config

[lucid owl]

5 being the value of the factorial

[formal parrot]

Variable

[lucid owl]

no

[red flower]

no 5!

[lament agate]

oh okay

[lucid owl]

that's 5!

[lament agate]

do i need talisman for that

[lucid owl]

aka 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1

[daring fern]

No.

[formal parrot]

Bro said he knows what factorial is

[lament agate]

good

[lament agate]

I DO

hold on

[lucid owl]

you just need the ability to multiply in order to create factorials lol

[lament agate]

i skipped math in the entirety of my high school year

dont expect me

[lucid owl]

first google result for factorial

[formal parrot]

Same as power

[red flower]

you dont need talisman but the numbers get big fast so you might want it

[lucid owl]

this isn't taught in high school math

[lament agate]

i got a fucking lesson MAN

i just woke up

[formal parrot]

55! Is bigger than ^55

[lucid owl]

well from my experience

as a rising junior

[formal parrot]

By e20

[lucid owl]

idk how old you are

[hallow forge]

Final Exam, what's 0!

[lament agate]

0

[red flower]

1

[hallow forge]

nxkoo dies

[lament agate]

what the FUCK

[lucid owl]

is it actually 1 lol

[formal parrot]

You’re definitely failing math niko

[lament agate]

HOW DID I GRADUATE

[lucid owl]

por que

[hallow forge]

taking that diploma back

[lament agate]

NO,,,

[formal parrot]

Un uh

[lucid owl]

would it not just be 0 given you're multiplying 0 and 0

math me

[lucid owl]

you're old damn

[hallow forge]

0! is the product of no numbers

which is 1

[formal parrot]

Don’t forget custom sound

And message

And color

[lucid owl]

since when is a factorial a way to represent arrangements of things wtf

i've only ever learned about factorials from the internet i am a fool

[formal parrot]

Me go sleep

Good night

[red flower]

gn

[hallow forge]

don't tell them about the Gamma function

[lucid owl]

where the hell am i

i start pre calc next year i'm scared

[drowsy heath]

why am i getting this it didnt happen before

[formal parrot]

If cos(current time) is positive gain ^current time/60
else current mult/60

Is this good

[red flower]

some jokers have a number in extra

[drowsy heath]

i have no jokers it can effect in hand yet it crashes when i select the consumable

[red flower]

you would need v.ability.extra and type(v.ability.extra) == "table" and v.ability.extra.coffee

[red flower]

but you have other jokers?

[drowsy heath]

Yeah

[red flower]

yes then if any of them has a number in extra it will crash

[drowsy heath]

Why was it not an usse before this and only just started happening

[red flower]

because you never tested owning a joker with a number in extra?

[drowsy heath]

Oh yeah 😅

Thank you that worked beautifully

[lament agate]

ive actually

never seen a joker with factorial mult

what color should it be

[red flower]

purple

[lament agate]

since exponential mult is dark edition

[lament agate]

fair

is {X:green} a thing

[red flower]

yes

[lament agate]

thanks

[scarlet imp]

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = "c_eris", set = "Planet" }
why no work 😭

[red flower]

try G.P_CENTERS.c_eris instead

[scarlet imp]

🙏

thank god for N'

[lament agate]

config = { 
        extra = {
            xmult_per_card = 0.05 
        } 
    },
    
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local extra_cards = math.max(0, G.playing_cards and #G.playing_cards or 52)
        local total_xmult = 1 + (extra_cards * card.ability.extra.xmult_per_card)
        return { 
            vars = { 
                card.ability.extra.xmult_per_card,
                extra_cards,
                total_xmult,
                G.GAME.starting_deck_size
            }
        }
    end,
    
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            local extra_cards = math.max(0, #G.playing_cards - G.GAME.starting_deck_size)
            return {
                x_mult = 1 + (extra_cards * card.ability.extra.xmult_per_card),
                card = card
            }
        end
    end
}

theres something wrong in here

instead of being X0 in the collections tab

it show 3.4

[red flower]

replace that or 52 for or 0

[lament agate]

thanks

[drowsy heath]

I have a joker which retriggers rhe last card of played hand twice but it only does so when there are 5 cards played how do I fix that, I will send code in a second

Oh wait no ik why but how do I make it always last card and not the fifth card

[sonic cedar]

evening alll!
this is allowed right

[red flower]

context.scoring_hand[#context.scoring_hand]

[red flower]

no

[sonic cedar]

can i do it in the locvars at least

[drowsy heath]

i put this in the calculate dunction but how will it know for it to be the last car played as thats where i had defined it as card 5

[red flower]

yeah but you need to check that G.jokers exists

[sonic cedar]

so literally just
if G.jokers

[red flower]

#context.scoring_hand is the size of the array so it will always be the last card

[drowsy heath]

oh thank you

[drowsy heath]

Its doing every card

[red flower]

can i see the code

[drowsy heath]

i already know i misinterpreted it

[red flower]

yeah you're missing the comparison

[drowsy heath]

The last bit I wasn't meant to remove then

[red flower]

you just needed to change the 5 for #context.scoring_hand

[drowsy heath]

okok

Thank youuuu

[modern kindle]

is there an easy way i can prevent specific jokers from being able to get an edition?
it would be able to go on any other playing cards or jokers but i want to be able to exclude specific ones

[daring fern]

Yes.

[modern kindle]

how would i go about that?

i assume i can find card but how am i preventing it from getting that edition

[daring fern]

Hook Card:set_edition

[modern kindle]

damn, hooks

hate to see it

[drowsy heath]

How would I reverse a banner and for every discard less you have you gain instead

[near haven]

Trying to fix a config file with the same crash. Does it matter where in the config file I put this?

[drowsy heath]

Nevermind

[red flower]

wdym by config file

[near haven]

overrides.lua

[red flower]

like that's a file in your mod?

[near haven]

Yes, it's a store crash from steammodded by the looks of the log

[red flower]

what's the crash

[drowsy heath]

How does one use smaller words on a card description?

If you know what I mean

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#text-scale-modifier-s

[red flower]

seems to be something to do with pokermon

[umbral zodiac]

whats the relevant card variable for context.repetition, if any

[drowsy heath]

well im lost

its gives +3 chips instead

for whatever reason

[red flower]

context.other_card

[violet gulch]

in your return, you're returning chips

[drowsy heath]

i had used 3 discards

oh

poo

[calm kiln]

uh I followed the modding tutorial that was in the main tutorial in the discord, the one by artmuncher and the joker i made isnt showing up

[red flower]

post code

[calm kiln]

SMODS.Joker{
key = 'grassjoker',
loc_txt = {
name = 'Grass Joker',
text = {
'Win the Game',
'after inputting Secret Password'
},
},
}

ignore the ability im workshopping it

[drowsy heath]

well since its done i can share, since N' helped so much when you use discards he helps the player too !!

[red flower]

does the file have a header or do you have .json

[scarlet imp]

return {
    message = localize({
        type = "variable",
        key = "a_minus_chips",
        vars = { #context.scoring_hand * card.ability.special.subtract }
    }),
    colour = G.C.BLUE
}

Do I have this formatted wrong? the message the Joker makes is always just ERROR

[calm kiln]

--- STEAMMODDED HEADER
--- MOD_NAME: Grass Deck
--- MOD_ID: GRASSDECK
--- MOD_AUTHOR: [Wolfie and Staple]
--- MOD_DESCRIPTION: Adds the Grass Deck, Grass Joker and the coveted 2 and 7 Joker.
--- PREFIX: GRASS

------------MOD CODE -------------------------
SMODS.Atlas{
key = 'Jokers',
path = 'Jokers.png',
px = 71,
py = 95
}

This is what the tutorial said

[red flower]

a_chips_minus

[red flower]

does the mod not appear at all or just the joker?

[calm kiln]

The mod doesnt appear at all

is it that my file is called main.lua.text, i cant figure out ow to make it not a text file

[scarlet imp]

remove the .text file extensiopn manually

it must be a .lua file

[calm kiln]

how do i do that

[red flower]

steamodded has an extra m

[red flower]

also yes

it has to be main.lua

(or any other name but .lua)

[calm kiln]

i have no clue how to make it .lua

[calm kiln]

thanks

[red flower]

are you on windows

[calm kiln]

yes

[scarlet imp]

If you're on Windows, open File Explorer and click on the three dots. Select options, and there should be a setting somewhere that lets you view all files with extensions. I would always recommend keeping this on, especially for programmers

the name of the setting is "Hide extensions for unknown file types", and I think it is enabled by default

[calm kiln]

YES IT WORKED THANK YOU

i have been trying to figure this out for three days, i have so many tabs open. thanks so much

[drowsy heath]

do u not use vscode

[calm kiln]

why not? it auto formats the tabs which helps me a lot

[scarlet imp]

for everything you write, if you at some point use multiple files for your mod, you HAVE to have every file you have content in as a .lua file. Any exceptions to this rule are pretty unlikely to be used for your first mod

[calm kiln]

thanks 😄 😄 😄

[drowsy heath]

i was askig if you did, u said u dk how but that always shows thw extensions doesnt it

[scarlet imp]

it does he just didn't know how to change it manually

[drowsy heath]

ohhhh ok

[calm kiln]

im kinda new to programming in general

when i took the ap class for it i got a 2 on the exam

[drowsy heath]

same here im on my 5th day of doing this from scratch self learning

[scarlet imp]

for the record, you CAN also change the file extensions inside of VSC, but its better to know how to use File Explorer since that is gonna be your bread and butter

[calm kiln]

thanks a lot jedi : D

[scarlet imp]

Np : D
I always like helping ppl with programming stuff since I self-taught before going to uni and I got myself into some pretty bad habits

I'm much better now tho lol

[drowsy heath]

wait so how many people here are fully self taught

[scarlet imp]

probably most people. Programming is fun and useful to know, but I'd guess that the amount of people getting an education for it or that use it in their work life is pretty small

[red flower]

im not, i got java classes as a teen

[scarlet imp]

I've only been in the discord for like a month so I can't promise that tho

[unkempt thicket]

I taught myself, then took and excelled in several classes

[scarlet imp]

coding is one of those things that you can teach yourself with relative ease if you're willing to learn. The most important part is having patience and staying motivated tbh

[drowsy heath]

i have nothing but motivation as i just finished college like 2 weeks ago so after being bored so long i turned to modding my favourite game

[scarlet imp]

congrats on finishing college 🙂 I'm about to start my 5th semester this fall

[unkempt thicket]

A lot of languages are the same the main difference is the syntax.

[drowsy heath]

whats a semester

[violet gulch]

I taught myself by writing scripts for a different game a bunch of years ago. Learned Lua playing the ComputerCraft mod in Minecraft 🤣

[drowsy heath]

im from the uk so its a bit different for me

[unkempt thicket]

Its half a school year

[drowsy heath]

ohhh

[scarlet imp]

Fall Semester is August-December, Spring is January-May
