sweet thanks !

[wild escarp]

How do I set a cards rank?

[daring fern]

SMODS.change_base(card, nil, "Rank")

[tropic timber]

is there any way to for lack of a better word, "spawn in" a joker for testing purposes?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[tropic timber]

thats great :D could you direct me to where i could find the documentation on this? (or just tell me if thats easier lol)

[tropic timber]

thank you !!

[wild escarp]

How would I upgrade a specific hand in a joker?

[daring fern]

SMODS.smart_level_up_hand(card, "handname")

[gilded blaze]

@red flower oh btw
SMODS.merge_effects' behavior with retriggers is rather weird

[wild escarp]

How can I stop this from drawing when the joker is undiscovered?

draw = function(self, card, layer)
    if (layer == 'card' or layer == 'both') and card.sprite_facing == 'front' then
        local scale_mod = 0.05 + 0.05 * math.sin(1.8 * G.TIMERS.REAL) +
            0.07 * math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL)) * math.pi * 14) *
            (1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL))) ^ 3
        local rotate_mod = 0.1 * math.sin(1.219 * G.TIMERS.REAL) +
            0.07 * math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL) * math.pi * 5) * (1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL))) ^ 2

        local image = Sprite(0, 0, 71, 95, G.ASSET_ATLAS["willatro_WillatroOrgans"], {x = 1, y = 0})
        image.role.draw_major = card
        image:draw_shader('dissolve', 0, nil, nil, card.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod, nil,
            0.1 + 0.03 * math.sin(1.8 * G.TIMERS.REAL), nil, 0.6)
        image:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, card.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod)
    end
end

[daring fern]

if card.config.center.discovered?

[pastel maple]

how do i stop my Bass-Bamb joker's Sprite not showing?

[urban wasp]

how do i make a joker have a numerator other than 1 in its probability?

[daring fern]

Are you on the dev version of SMODS?

[urban wasp]

i don't believe so

[daring fern]

Then you would do (G.GAME.probabilities.normal * number)

[gilded blaze]

not enough info
what sprite is it showing now

[urban wasp]

i just have this currently, do i just replace all of it with your thing?

G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1

[pastel maple]

oh mb it's showing nothing

[daring fern]

G.GAME and (G.GAME.probabilities.normal * number) or number?

[frigid cargo]

how do i make it so a joker checks if the score of the hand played is equal to or greater than the blind size?

[urban wasp]

is this right for the if on if it activates now? i feel like it activates very rarely when testing it in-game now 🤔

if pseudorandom("theduo_book") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds

(or i might just be unlucky)

[daring fern]

if pseudorandom("theduo_book") < (G.GAME.probabilities.normal * number) / card.ability.extra.odds?

[urban wasp]

that'll probability do it

[flat mist]

Will this code work I made it using chatgpt . Set hand to 1 and give 5x mult

[shell timber]

uh,

No

you should learn the basics of lua and look at the smods wiki. chatgpt wont help you

it doesnt know anything about making balatro mods

or at least not that i know of

[flat mist]

Hmmm

[frigid cargo]

learning the basics of lua is very easy, it shouldnt be that hard. you can also check for references from other mods or online.

[crisp coral]

wtf gpt got joker tags before smods

[viral ember]

I know about SMODS.change_play_limit but is there a way to get the play limit?

[crisp coral]

that's insane

[daring fern]

G.GAME.starting_params.play_limit?

[viral ember]

lemme check

sick

thanks so much!

[tropic timber]

Can't seem to find it on the wiki, how do you check what enhancement a playing card has?

[unborn bay]

SMODS.has_enhancement

[manic rune]

or SMODS.get_enhancements to get a table of what enhancements the card has

[tropic timber]

ohhh so the "key" parameter is what enhancement youre checking for?

[unborn bay]

yep

like m_glass

[fallow breach]

does anyone know why the game would crash when you hover over your custom joker

[tropic timber]

sweet thanks :^) is there a reference somewhere for the name of each one? im specifically looking for the mult enhancement but cant find it

[manic rune]

is there no other context provided other than this

[manic rune]

- whats the crash log
- whats the code

[fallow breach]

here's the code for it. ignore the funny stats it was just for testing

[manic rune]

unrelated but use mult instead of mult_mod :3

[fallow breach]

i don't know much about lua i've just been copying off of example code so i'm curious why it's crashing

the art and price show up fine in the shop but as soon as my mouse goes near it, it crashes

[manic rune]

vars in your loc_vars should be a table

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

[hasty mist]

how would i check if the current joker is in the rightmost joker slot

[fallow breach]

elaborate a bit pls

[manic rune]

i did, send the code above

but uh

this part right here needs to be a table

[fallow breach]

alrighty

[manic rune]

if G.jokers.cards[#G.jokers.cards] == card then

[hasty mist]

tyty

which game variable stores the current ante?

[manic rune]

G.GAME.round_resets.ante? 🤔

could be wrong though, lemme check

yeah nevermind its correct

[hasty mist]

tyty

[drowsy heath]

So if I wanted a joker to remove hands and grant an xmult what would the calculate look like as such removing all hands but one and granting 5x mult

Because I'm a little confused as the context is different

Never done such thing before

[tropic timber]

hmmmm can anyone help me find out what's causing the error to throw? it looks like some bracket mess-ups but they seem to be all properly closed to me 🤔

[hasty mist]

is there a way to detect specifically when a boss blind is defeated?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hasty mist]

how?

[daring fern]

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

[daring fern]

Have you tried installing the lua extension?

[gilded blaze]

what's at line 65 in jrwi.lua

[tropic timber]

oops, thought i did already, did that now! no red squiggles or anything illuminating though unfortunately

[tropic timber]

ah , thought i caught the line nums in the original screenshot!

[daring fern]

You're missing a , after the key

[tropic timber]

ahhhh! thank you!

was so caught up looking for brackets i didn't think about commas XD

[gilded blaze]

restart your VS Code window

[tropic timber]

i have

[drowsy heath]

Bump

[fallow breach]

does anybody know what's causing the extra yellow box text to appear after the initial "+6 mult" red box

[daring fern]

Remove the message.

[fallow breach]

so that doesn't remove the initial +6 mult message as well?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[fallow breach]

ah okay thanks

i'm reading this annotated lua code (from examplejokers mod) and some of the stuff they're saying is slightly off

[frigid cargo]

            if #context.full_hand == 1 and context.destroy_card == context.full_hand[1] and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
            return {
                remove = true
            }
        end```
i wanna make a variable increase but i cant put it in the return, where else can i put it?

[daring fern]

Outside of the return.

[frigid cargo]

oh, it was just not working earlier. ok thanks

[tall wharf]

what mod are you playing holy

wait no i meant

what guide are you following

[tall wharf]

I'm guessing the example hasn't been updated in some time

soooo

i think you might want to look at vanillaremade

[subtle merlin]

Question: why can't I do SMODS.create_card({set = "Joker", area = G.jokers, key = G.jokers.cards[1].key}) to create the joker in the first slot? Ik G.jokers.cards[1].key works (It just makes a random joker)

[rapid stag]

the message in the return table isn't doing anything?
nor is the rest of the return table for that matter

[formal parrot]

G.joker.cards[1] isn’t the key of the joker

Use a local variable

[manic rune]

G.jokers.cards[1].config.center.key returns the key

[subtle merlin]

That's such a long string of words but noted, ty!

[vast night]

Hi Everyone. I have a rather hard question. I've already asked it yesterday and thankfully N gave me a hint, but also after looking in the source code and other mods, i still cant find out how to use G.STATE to create a new "Screen" (I want to have some sort of countdown with two tags displayed)
Edit: I know that each "state" is a screen (G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND = 1, G.STATES.TAROT_PACK = 9, etc.) so the last thing i need to know is how to create a state and how to define what comes in that state. (And what conditions there are to needing to modify the state)

[summer furnace]

Hey there! For some reason this line here crashes the game if jokerExists('j_FinusHD_totk') then decrementingTickEvent('j_FinusHD_totk',0) end With it saying attempt to call global 'jokerExists' [a nil value]

[vast night]

seems liike the jokerExists functioin/variable isnt defined

[summer furnace]

Oooooh, okay that makes sense hahaha

I thought that was like a standart method but no lmao thx

[vast night]

r u german

btw

while i was searching for something i found this
find_joker('Chaos the Clown')

[summer furnace]

idk if that works, but SMODS.find_card('j_prefix_key') works

[summer furnace]

yes

[vast night]

das funktioniert auch

[summer furnace]

I would still be talking in english here tho lmao

[vast night]

lmao

its an easyer language for me tho so i alwways speak it when i dont need to speak english

[summer furnace]

makes sense

[summer furnace]

So I am trying to make an animated joker, but it for some obscure reason stretch the hell out on the vertical axis 😭

[copper thorn]

why isn't my decks texture here ?

[formal parrot]

Your pos is wrong

Probably

[copper thorn]

(and yes my texutres are in the asset folder)

[formal parrot]

Send a screenshot of the sprite

[copper thorn]

the pos was indeed wrong i might have miss types

typed*

wtf why does my deck does that to the jokers ? the jokers themselves don't do that

sorry for the lagyy asf recording my pc handles badly obs

[formal parrot]

Maybe check your atlas id

It should be different if they’re in different atlases

Wait is the background the problem ?

[copper thorn]

no the joker being able to be everywhere and not returning to the joker bar where they should be

[formal parrot]

You sure G.jokers is correct ?

Wait

Oh

You forgot add to deck

[copper thorn]

it is here

[formal parrot]

Hmmm

You know that

This only

Emplaces the last card right ?

You have to do it after each addition of joker

[copper thorn]

semmes like it yeah

seems*

[formal parrot]

Try that

[copper thorn]

still does it

[formal parrot]

Emplace and add to deck

For each card

[copper thorn]

i forgot the emplace part x)

now it works thanks :)

[formal parrot]

Cute boys

[copper thorn]

indeed

[crisp coral]

for future reference, SMODS.add_card is a function added that does the same thing as create_card then add_to_deck

[formal parrot]

Try using add_card inst

Lmao i was gonna say it

Thanks myst

[copper thorn]

thnaks, but my deck works like this, knowing myself i'll probably copy paste it for future decks like this x)

[feral tree]

First time trying to do retriggers and such, trying to make a joker that's basically double sided blueprint

any tips?

[copper thorn]

have you tested it like this ?

[formal parrot]

You need context.repetition

[copper thorn]

but i rhink you should add a repetition = 1 in the config part

[formal parrot]

To do repetetions=

[copper thorn]

also this

[formal parrot]

(For crossmod stuff yes )

Jokers that double values , etc

[feral tree]

hol up so the rest of the code is correct??

[copper thorn]

it should be yeah

i don't see no issues

[formal parrot]

Context.orher_card need context.individual and context.cardarea==“specific card area “ as example G.play

Depends on if you’re trying to trigger jokers or card

Or both

[feral tree]

jokers

[formal parrot]

G.jokers.cards

Or G.jokers

I the card area for jokers

[tight hull]

hi, does someone know how to change a sound using a mod? bcs im getting a brain aneurysm using gpt (I cant find any mods that do that, thats why im using gpt)

[formal parrot]

What do you want to do exactly

Like

Just play a sound ?

(ai won’t help )😭🫡

[tight hull]

replace an existing one

[tight hull]

yeah I can see that

[formal parrot]

Do you know the basics of modding by any chance

Also you sound need to be ogg format ( you can find a convertor online )

[tight hull]

bare minimum

[tight hull]

did that alredy

[formal parrot]

Okay i can help

But listen okay ?

[tight hull]

thnx

[tight hull]

sure

[formal parrot]

Some people genuinely are brain dead , its simple just follow what i tell you to😭

Do you have any code editing software? Vscode preferably

[tight hull]

is notepadd++ ok?

[formal parrot]

Sure

You’re gonna make a basic mod folder

You need to file codes

First is .lua
Second is .json

Mods
└──your mod name
├── code.lua
└── assets
└── sounds
├── sound.ogg

[tight hull]

i have it like that

[formal parrot]

Great

[tight hull]

can assets be Assets or does it need to be "a"

[formal parrot]

No

Is your.json file full ?

Or empty file

[tight hull]

empty

[formal parrot]

Okay 1 sec

    "id": "VSMODS",
    "name": "Vanilla SMODS",
    "author": ["someone23832"],
    "description": "Turns some vanilla jokers into an SMODS format, and changes them to give some examples of what you can do.",
    "prefix": "mvan",
    "main_file": "ModdedVanilla.lua",
    "badge_colour": "c7638f",
    "dependencies": [
        "Steamodded (>=1.0.0~ALPHA-1225a)"
    ],
    "version": "1.0.0"
}```

Put this in your .json

And change the needed stuff

[tight hull]

ok, give me a sec

[formal parrot]

(Main_file)

[formal parrot]

Take your time

[tight hull]

what is a prefix?

[formal parrot]

Anything

Its an identification for your mod

Name it whatever

[tight hull]

Oh ok

[tight hull]

im done

[formal parrot]

Great work

[tight hull]

what should be the .json called? can it be mod.json?

[formal parrot]

Anything

[tight hull]

ok

[formal parrot]

But the lua file should be the same name inside the .json

In main_file

[tight hull]

its the same

[formal parrot]

Great

Now you’re gonna edit your lua file

[tight hull]

ok

[formal parrot]

You’re gonna do this

[drowsy heath]

so erm i knda need help i tried to restructure idol to only chose a rank and just wipe that rank out of the deck at the end of the round but its not working and i have no idea why

[formal parrot]

 path = {
     default= 'my_sound.ogg'
 }
Key=“something”,}

[hasty mist]

can jokers have the hidden attribute and appear in spectral packs

[formal parrot]

Uhhh ? No?

Okay which sound do you want to replace now ?

[tight hull]

whoosh1.ogg

[hasty mist]

okay hm

what is the soul_set parameter for buffoon packs

[formal parrot]

No like which sound in game to you want to replace with that

[tight hull]

thats the sounds name

or do you mean that to play my sound instead of this one? (like in one instance, and not to replace it permanently)

[formal parrot]

Oh

There’s a sound ingame called whoosh ?

Qqlmao

[tight hull]

yeah

[formal parrot]

Okay wait let me see

[tight hull]

it plays when the game is opened

[formal parrot]

Ohhh

[tight hull]

(it plays slowed and it took me like 15 mins to find what is it bcs I couldnt find that sound in game files)

[formal parrot]

Okay

I CANT FIND THE KEY FOR THAT SOUND

F

[tight hull]

damm 😔

[formal parrot]

You should do something like this

Look for it in game code

[tight hull]

the first instance of it is on line 1435

but its just to play it

[formal parrot]

Check other files

[tight hull]

ok

[drowsy heath]

bump

[formal parrot]

Check this

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

Replace :

self:create_replace_sound(replace)

Try using the file name instead of key

[tight hull]

i was there, and i didnt understend most of it

[formal parrot]

Like this

self:create_replace_sound(“whoosh.ogg”)

[formal parrot]

Add this to your SMODS.sound

[tight hull]

it looks like the whoosh1 sound (idk abt the other ones) doesnt have a key (? if thats possible) and when its supposed to play its just play_sound('whoosh1', 0.55, 0.62)

[tight hull]

where?

[formal parrot]

Try “whoosh1” or “whoosh1.ohh” here

[formal parrot]

Last line

After key=

[tight hull]

oh ok

[formal parrot]

Wrong context

[drowsy heath]

what should i be using bcoz i tried everythig befre this lmao at that point i gave up and put anything i can think of

[formal parrot]

You need to do a for loop in playing_cards and when v==your card
Return {remove=true}

[tight hull]

it should look like this?```
SMODS.sound={

path = {
default= 'Witches_call.ogg'
}
Key="call",

self:create_replace_sound("whoosh1")
} or like thisSMODS.sound={

path = {
default= 'Witches_call.ogg'
}
Key="call",}

self:create_replace_sound("whoosh1")

[formal parrot]

1st

[tight hull]

ok

[formal parrot]

If you’re using
For _, v in inprais(context.playing_cards )

Add a ,

After path

After the }

[tight hull]

ohh

[formal parrot]

Yeah lua tend to do it a lot lmao

[drowsy heath]

how do i do that

[formal parrot]

Local Card=your chosen card
For _,v in inpairs (context.playing_cards) do
If v==card then
Return {remove=true }
End
End

[tight hull]

it didnt work

[formal parrot]

For you the card is called deathnote

[formal parrot]

Here

[formal parrot]

Try .ogg

Did it crash ? Or just didnt work

[tight hull]

i mean this didnt work

it still crashes

[formal parrot]

Oh

Can you screenshot your code

[formal parrot]

You’re missing ,

After key=“call”

Wait i’ll send you a clean version

[tight hull]

ok

[formal parrot]

SMODS.sound={

 path = {
     default= 'Witches_call.ogg'
 },
Key="call",
self:create_replace_sound("whoosh1")
}```

Wait

Alright

This should work

[tight hull]

smth else now

[formal parrot]

Ohhh

Wait lemme double check

@daring fern NEED HELP

you might need to include

A function

[tight hull]

is this to me or to him?

[formal parrot]

Ohhh

Got it

I think

[tight hull]

i had that reaction like 5 times 😭

and yet im still here

[formal parrot]

Replace =function(self)
Return {self:the rest of the line}

End

I think !

Keyword think

Man i really don’t know

Wait

@tall wharf

HELP !!

[tall wharf]

hi

[tight hull]

hi

[formal parrot]

They want to replace a sound ingame

But i’m stupid and idk how

(I tried )

[tight hull]

it's the thought that counts

[formal parrot]

😭sorry i couldn’t help

[tight hull]

or smth (idk if i translated it good)

[tight hull]

no problem

i didnt saw any mods that do that so its probobly hard

[tall wharf]

what do you want to replace

[formal parrot]

THATS THE PROBLEM

[formal parrot]

the “whoosh1”

When you open the game

[crisp coral]

add replace = "whoosh1"

[formal parrot]

💀

[tall wharf]

doesn't replace = "whoosh1" work

[formal parrot]

I’m gonna kill myself

[tight hull]

to where brother 😔

[tall wharf]

SMODS.Sound

[tight hull]

dont do that

[tight hull]

and replace it with what?

where do I put it? (the thing that im replacing with)

[formal parrot]

Aiko please stab me and throw my body in a bathtub full of acid

[crisp coral]

SMODS.Sound{
    key = "key",
    replace = "whoosh1",
    other variables
}

[vast night]

It's a me again.
I gave up on making a new ui since i for the love of god coulddnt find the code where ui defs are stored.
But I had another question. Is it theoretically possible to make some sort of notification popup. Like ik how to make ui but not how to make a persistent one that goes over every item and moves in and out

[crisp coral]

omw asking hiiragi to dmca aikoshen

[tall wharf]

😭

[tight hull]

i can try that

sec

[gilded blaze]

nice

how it feels to implement custom background music in story mode

[tight hull]

try this
https://github.com/hocermanc/balatro_alt_music/blob/main/main.lua

idk if thats what you are looking for

[gilded blaze]

mine only replaces vanilla when in story mode

[tight hull]

or this
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/LobcorpSoundtrack/main.lua

idk what a story mode is

[gilded blaze]

it's a thing akin to my mod, #1366605767167443006

[tight hull]

oh

sorry but thats beyond my comcompetences

[formal parrot]

Did you figured it out yet ?

[hasty mist]

how do you use create_card to make a specific joker

[vast night]

And a second question: how can i make an event or function run after a set time

[tight hull]

nope

[formal parrot]

Delay =

[formal parrot]

Show code

[hasty mist]

i mean like

[tight hull]

 path = {
     default= 'Witches_call.ogg'
 },
Key="call",
Replace =function(self)
Return {self:create_replace_sound("whoosh1")},
}```

[hasty mist]

a specific joker

not a joker set

[formal parrot]

I think add_card does that

 path = {
     default= 'Witches_call.ogg'
 },
Key="call",
Replace=“whoosh1”,
}```

Try this

[formal parrot]

Idk if create_card takes key as a value

[hasty mist]

it does

figured it out

[tight hull]

i have good news and bad news

[formal parrot]

Good news is

[hasty mist]

i remembered that more fluff does it

[tight hull]

good news is that it doesnt crash

[crisp coral]

everything is case sensitive, so:
sound={ should be Sound{ (without equal)
Key should be key
Replace should be replace and just "whoosh1" instead of a function

[formal parrot]

Lmao

[tight hull]

and bad that it doesnt work

[formal parrot]

yeah i’m on phone i have auto caps lock on

:3

[tight hull]

Sound{ or sound{

[crisp coral]

the former

[tight hull]

im not an native english speaker so idk what that means

sorry

[crisp coral]

Sound{

[tight hull]

ok

IT WORKS

[tight hull]

omg thank you so much

if anyone is curious it sounds like complete ass

[formal parrot]

Change values and pitch

[tight hull]

for some reason it plays 3 times?

but that might be bcs the file is too long

[formal parrot]

There are optional values

Change them

[tight hull]

ok

[formal parrot]

Good luck

[tight hull]

thnx

i will need it

[obtuse silo]

            ch_c_mintconditioncards_money_limit = "Money held can not exceed {C:money}$#1#{}"
        }```
i want to create a challenge's restriction description but this just crashes the game on load

[tight hull]

bcs i dont understend a single bit of whats here or how to reverse it (its the part that plays the sound) ```if card.T.scale <= 0 then
if temp_i < 30 then
play_sound('whoosh1', temp_pitch + math.random()0.05, 0.25(1 - temp_i/50))
end

                            if temp_i == 15 then
                                play_sound('whoosh_long',0.9, 0.7)
                            end
                            G.VIBRATION = G.VIBRATION + 0.1
                            card:remove()
                            return true

[vast night]

Ok i hope this reaches the correct person:

Does anyone know how i can hook up a new state to a UI Screen. I've heard hardly anyone has done that. Please i need help

[tall wharf]

useful joker award

[obtuse silo]

the "the" rarity really sells this

[humble matrix]

im trying to make certain jokers in my booster pack show up less than other jokers and this doesnt work, knowing me im 100% doing something incredibly wrong (this is in the objectType btw)

[obtuse silo]

nvm
figured it out

[formal parrot]

Just like theone fr

[drowsy heath]

yeah idk what i did but it didnt work yet again i gave it time and tried everything

[tawdry oriole]

how would i make different sell conditions for different jokers without overwriting one another's can_sell_card function?

[tight hull]

so changing the pich and volume does nothing but ill leavie it be

[stiff quiver]

hi i wanted to change the base game music but i dont understand what this means in the wiki, what code does it refer to? Your track's sound code must contain the string music if you are using this.

[manic rune]

you dont necessarily need to overwrite it, just do a hook

[obtuse silo]

actually, one more thing
i want this hook to reduce the money to the money limit if the money exceeds the limit
but it's not doing anything

[manic rune]

this is what myst's firebird does

im guessing your if statement doesnt go through? 🤔

try putting a print in there to see

[formal parrot]

Can you show code

Lr haven’t you coded anything yet

[stiff quiver]

the smods.sound?

[formal parrot]

Yes

[stiff quiver]

SMODS.Sound{
  key = "BOOM",
  path = "BOOM.wav",
  select_music_track = function (self)
    return 99999999999999
  end
}

[formal parrot]

This is not how you replace

Also

Self doesn’t exist here

[stiff quiver]

oh

[formal parrot]

 path = {
     default= 'sound.ogg'
 },
Key="call",
Replace=“sound 2”,
}```

This is how to replace

Find “Sound 2” in the game code

The string for the main menu

[obtuse silo]

doesn't look like it's doing anything

[stiff quiver]

ok thanks

[obtuse silo]

[behind the text is 14$ btw]

[manic rune]

mm the if statements are wrong then

idk watchu doin tho, is this limiting payout to a certain number?

[obtuse silo]

basically
it acts as a "cap" for the total money you can hold

[manic rune]

oh, i think i see whats wrong

[tawdry oriole]

would something like this work?

[manic rune]

the first one is checking whether G.GAME.modifiers is "money_limit", aka when its a string, and the second one seems to use G.GAME.modifiers like a table?

im pretty sure G.GAME.modifiers is a table anyways, so the first check is wrong 🤔

[obtuse silo]

oh
so how else would I check for the current rule

[humble matrix]

ive tried doing something like this and the game still crashes

[next timber]

how do i make a shader always apply to a joker? i know ill need to use a drawstep of some kind most likely but i. do not understand drawsteps at all

[manic rune]

if G.GAME.modifiers.money_limit and ...?

[shell timber]

isnt there a draw function on the joker

[next timber]

well yes but as stated i dont understand jack shit about it

[stiff quiver]

if i wanted to make it replace all music would i have to make multiple copies of this or just put something else in the replace?

[formal parrot]

You can give it a table

Check the wiki

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

[obtuse silo]

it works!
just had to get rid of the "tonumber(" part because G.GAME.dollars is already a number

[tight hull]

I have a mod that changes tarot cards and planet cards, is there any way to make a menu ingame to for example turn off the planet texture and only show the tarot card one?

[formal parrot]

You have to code ui

Which is

HARD

[tight hull]

there is a first time for everything no?

[stiff quiver]

if im understanding correctly this should make the title song the song in the path right? ```lua
SMODS.Sound{
key = "BOOM",
path = "BOOM.wav",
replace = "music1"
}

[red flower]

some table is probably empty, you need to check for that

[humble matrix]

still dont work
i feel like spunch bob

[hasty mist]

im so confused

[humble matrix]

stupid game stop crashing

[hasty mist]

it was JUST working

[tight hull]

yeah I think so too

does it work?

[formal parrot]

I think the format is ogg

[tight hull]

from what I read the .wav should work too

might be an old upload or smth tho

[stiff quiver]

i'll try with .ogg

cause currently it just disables all sound

[humble matrix]

does anyone know how to make this work because im clueless

[tight hull]

yeah the ui might be a little too hard for me...

just a little bit

[stiff quiver]

Still nothing ```lua
SMODS.Sound{
key = "BOOM",
path = "BOOM.ogg",
replace = "music1"
}

[formal parrot]

You sure its the correct one

[tight hull]

this is the code that I used, maybe try to tweak it a little bit?

 path = {
     default= 'Witches_call.ogg'
 },
key="call",
replace = "whoosh1",
}```

[formal parrot]

There’s another method @stiff quiver

[stiff quiver]

what is it?

[formal parrot]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/LobcorpSoundtrack

[stiff quiver]

that did work but the song is slowed down and pitched down

is that something balatro does or something i did wrong?

[formal parrot]

Change values

I think it slows it or something

Idk😭

[tight hull]

try to find in game files where the music plays

[empty solstice]

Making a simple deckskin mod using the example and there's both skin pngs and icon pngs. Does someone here know what the icon ones are used for?

[gilded blaze]

if next(full_ret) then return full_ret end?

[stiff quiver]

i just had to change the pitch value to 1, now its correct

thanks you two!

[formal parrot]

No problemo

[tight hull]

at your service (im not much help but I can be emotional support)

[tight hull]

unfortunately changing the pitch did help for me (it might be hardcoded somewhere else) 😔

[tight hull]

what do you mean?

[red flower]

it would be something like

local full_ret = {}
local ret = blueprint(card)
if ret and next(ret) then
    table.insert(full_ret,ret)
end

if it still shows the error then then some card has a bad return

[empty solstice]

I actually just found the answer in the documentation. I guess it's for the suit icons which... I currently have as part of the card images, but I guess I'm not supposed to.

[gilded blaze]

uh, how do I use that in this mess

💀

[tight hull]

wait you are not supposed to have them as the same thing?

damm

i didnt look into making deck skins yet

[empty solstice]

That seems to be what it's implying.

[red flower]

local merge = {}
if left_joker_ret and next(left_joker_ret) then -- i dont even know if you need next
    table.insert(merge, left_joker_ret)
end

the problem is if one of them is nil you end up with a table like {extra = {}}

[gilded blaze]

💀

I mean, it's just a warning

[red flower]

do the work

[gilded blaze]

that during context.repetition, repetitions = num isn't returned

[empty solstice]

I'm just gonna leave a blank transparent image in the icon and see if it works anyway.

[humble matrix]

^

[tight hull]

it should, my guess is that its for clarity later on

[bold gyro]

Hey y'all, I'm trying to replicate those speech bubbles that Jimbo uses, based on vanilla code and code from the Partner mod. I seem to be very close to getting it to work, but for some reason no text is showing up.

function G.UIDEF.tf_speech_bubble(input_key)
    local text = {}
    localize{type = "quips", key = input_key, nodes=text}
    local row = {}
    for k, v in ipairs(text) do
        row[#row+1] = {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cl"}, nodes=v}
    end
    local t = {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config = {align = "cm", minh = 1, r = 0.3, padding = 0.07, minw = 1, colour = G.C.JOKER_GREY, shadow = true}, nodes={
        {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "cm", minh = 1, r = 0.2, padding = 0.1, minw = 1, colour = G.C.WHITE}, nodes={
            {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "cm", minh = 1, r = 0.2, padding = 0.03, minw = 1, colour = G.C.WHITE}, nodes=row}
        }}
    }}
    return t
end

[red flower]

yeah the key is for the rarity, not the joker
jokers don't have individual weights

[humble matrix]

bruh

so i would just put something like

key = 'legendary' or something

[red flower]

'Legendary' but yes

[humble matrix]

ok now the game doesn't crash when loading but crashes when the booster is about to open

im making progress!!!

[red flower]

whats the crash

[humble matrix]

wait did

i think i might have named something wrong

OK

i was supposed to name this rarity and not rarities
which is confusing cuz the smod documentation for ObjectTypes says its called rarities

[red flower]

looking at the code it looks like rarities is correct

[humble matrix]

i swear putting it rarities was making it crash

[red flower]

yes because something else was wrong

if you name it rarity then it just doesn't use it

[humble matrix]

yeah i just realized that lol ;-;

[humble matrix]

anyways thanks for helping me with fixing this lol

[empty solstice]

Well, the mod """Works""" but the cards come up as blank so I think I've probably misunderstood something about the template and/or its language.

Changed the icons back just in case and it didn't fix anything.

[tight hull]

how is it?

[tight hull]

uh

[empty solstice]

and the lc version is identical.

[tight hull]

show the code

[empty solstice]

The lua file

I don't imagine the issue's in the json.

[tight hull]

the tabs dont show here?

[empty solstice]

...apparently.

[tight hull]

ok

[empty solstice]

I copy-pasted it and used Discord's "upload message as file". Maybe if I'd saved it as a text file and posted it that way the tabs would have come across.

[tight hull]

makes sesne

[tawdry oriole]

is there a way to reset a custom global variable when starting a new run?

[languid canopy]

hey sup, how do i make the floating sprite of a legendary joker actually appear ? i just get the BG of it ingame

[tawdry oriole]

you need to set soul_pos = {x = ... , y = ...}

that's the sprite of the floating one

[languid canopy]

aight

[idle plaza]

If your custom global is inside G.GAME, it'll automatically reset on new runs.

[tall wharf]

chat will this be useful

[tawdry oriole]

oh neat! thanks

[flat mist]

whats the pixel size for 1x an2x joker assets

[tight hull]

i have no idea, try to tweak this?

its stolen but it works

[tawdry oriole]

the usual 1x size is 71x95 (71 in width, 95 in height)

2x is double that so 142x190

[languid canopy]

71 by 95

double it for the x2

oh you're fast

lmao

[tawdry oriole]

wait actually how would you initialize a custom global in G.GAME

[next timber]

how do i feed an image into a shader? trying to make a shader that masks out a colour in a joker and puts another image under it

[tawdry oriole]

just setting it with G.GAME.globalname crashes the game

[red flower]

why is it \\{ and not \{

[tall wharf]

escape moment

[idle plaza]

What's the error? That's how I've been setting it and it works fine.

[empty solstice]

Wait so the hearts, clubs, spades, and diamonds are all in one file?

I mean, I'll try it. Just not sure how it actually works.

[red flower]

oh i get it

[tawdry oriole]

attempt to index field 'GAME' (a nil value) and that's how i initialized it

[tight hull]

thats an old code if i remember corectly but it works

[tall wharf]

i will donate this patch to steamodded yet again

[red flower]

I think it would be better to have {{} maybe

[tall wharf]

idk in my mind

it

uh

will clash

i think it's not as intuitive

[red flower]

i think \\{ is less intuitive imo

[idle plaza]

If it's just at the very start of a file like that, there's probably no G.GAME until you start or load a run.

[tall wharf]

anything following \\ will be escaped

[tawdry oriole]

oh so i'd need to initialize it IF a run is loaded/started??

[red flower]

then wouldnt that prevent using \\ or do you have to do \\\\

[tall wharf]

you can just double escape yeah

[red flower]

sounds annoying but probably not many mods use it so its fine

[tall wharf]

besides

[idle plaza]

Likely you'd need to move the initialization into some function or context that you know will run after a run is started.

All content within G.GAME is preserved between reloads of the same run, so you don't have to worry about that.

[tawdry oriole]

alright, got it

thanks

[empty solstice]

Okay well now the decks aren't blank, they're using the **default **images which... I expected it to go to one or the other if it was broken, but having both come up in different cases is a bit odd to me. Can't tell if it's an improvement.

Anyway I got other stuff to do at the moment.

[tight hull]

could you show the card images (that you are using)

[vast bough]

hello, does anybody know why my joker is crashing when specifically trying to create a hierophant tarot card. other tarot cards work perfectly fine, just specifically hierophant gives this crash. am i spelling it wrong or something or does smods refer to it by a different name?

[tight hull]

when you are back ping me, im interested why isnt it working

[empty solstice]

Well this is quick enough.

[flat mist]

i am tring to make an asset but the image is becoming blur

its my first time please help

[tight hull]

what softwere are you using?

[vast bough]

balatro spells it wrong in the game files, its c_heirophant

[humble matrix]

i have a joker that randomizes its ability and i want it to show that value in its description but the colour tags or whatever you call them mess up and don't display

[tight hull]

how did you eve find out

[flat mist]

photoshope

[vast bough]

i just guessed and swapped it around lmao

[tight hull]

if it works it works i guess

[vast bough]

no other error would make sense because it was working with every tarot card except that one haha

[tight hull]

lol

[tight hull]

try to make it 142x190

(pixels)

bcs its just compresed and idk how to get the letter to not have the outline

photoshop just does that

(most softwares do that if not all)

[flat mist]

it looks good at 2x

[pastel kernel]

How do you make it so that created card is an ace of clubs

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card{set="Playing Card", rank = "A", suit = "Clubs"}

[tight hull]

thats the point, lets just say noone uses 1x and its all good

(still put the pixelated version in 1x bcs if you dont and someone turns on 1x the game just crashes)

[humble matrix]

some people said to use main_end but i have no idea how that works and i think there would prob be another way

[tight hull]

what happends if you dont put it in ' '

[humble matrix]

game crashes on load

[tight hull]

yeah stupid question

[pastel kernel]

Can I share my progress?

I need some feedback

[red flower]

yeah

[red flower]

you can have multiple descriptions and change between them

[humble matrix]

how would i do this?

[red flower]

if you return key = "some_key" in loc_vars it uses that localization key inside descriptions.Joker

[pastel kernel]

this one

[red flower]

whats not working

[tawdry oriole]

also how did you make that description in three different boxes??

[red flower]

Xchips doesnt work btw, it needs to be x_chips or xchips

[humble matrix]

so like this?

[pastel kernel]

Deadass?

[red flower]

if center.ability.extra.text is a localization key, yes

[red flower]

yes

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#adding-your-descriptions

[tawdry oriole]

oh my god how come i've never seen that

thank you

[red flower]

its pretty new

[red flower]

wide sleeve

[pastel kernel]

idk how

do i even need to use add_to_deck?

                if #G.deck.cards < G.deck.config.card_limit then
                    local new_card = SMODS.add_card{set = "Playing Card", rank = "A", suit = "Clubs",}
                    if new_card then
                        new_card:add_to_deck()
                        G.deck:emplace(new_card)
                    end
                end

[humble matrix]

now it just isnt showing anything

wait does it have to be the ENITRE joker description

[red flower]

no, add_card does it for you

same with emplace

[red flower]

the localization needs to be structured like loc_txt

like with name and text

you also need to put the whole text in

[pastel kernel]

ok what do i do with "local new_card = SMODS.add_card{set = "Playing Card", rank = "A", suit = "Clubs",}"?

[red flower]

nothing it adds it automatically
if you want it to be added to the deck do area = G.deck

[chrome widget]

When cards are added like that, do you still need to use playing_card_joker_effects?

[red flower]

yes

[chrome widget]

Cool

[humble matrix]

it works!

[chrome widget]

Uni!!!!!

[pastel kernel]

can i ditch local new_card?

[red flower]

if you want to

[pastel kernel]

in the brackets?

[red flower]

yes

[pastel kernel]

  for _ = 1, scored_count do
                if #G.deck.cards < G.deck.config.card_limit then
                    SMODS.add_card{set = "Playing Card", rank = "A", suit = "Clubs", area = G.deck}
                end
            end```

[red flower]

there's no deck card limit (it exists but it's usually equal to the amount of cards in deck)

[pastel kernel]

here's the full calculation snippet

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and #context.scoring_hand > 0 then
            local club_count = 0
            local scored_count = #context.scoring_hand
            local base_chips = 0
            for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if scored_card:is_suit("Clubs") then
                    club_count = club_count + 1
                end
                base_chips = base_chips + (scored_card:get_chip_bonus() or 0)
            end
            if club_count > 0 then
                card.ability.extra.xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips * (card.ability.extra.club_chips ^ club_count)
                card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult * (card.ability.extra.club_mult ^ club_count)
            end
            for _ = 1, scored_count do
                if #G.deck.cards < G.deck.config.card_limit then
                    SMODS.add_card{set = "Playing Card", rank = "A", suit = "Clubs", area = G.deck}
                end
            end
            return {
                xchips = math.floor(base_chips * card.ability.extra.xchips),
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.xmult,
                card = card
            }
        end
    end,

the idea was to make the joker spawn club aces per played card in hand and gain x1 chips and mult per scored club card

[red flower]

what's the problem

[drowsy heath]

is it ossible to know what the next card in draw is

[red flower]

yes G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards] is the next card

as long as the deck is not shuffled

[pastel kernel]

it doesn't actually add club aces

[drowsy heath]

isnt it always shuffled

[pastel kernel]

and i think the xchips and xmult aren't actually doing their thing

[red flower]

it's shuffled before and after a blind iirc

[drowsy heath]

so during blind its possible to know what the top card on deck is with such line

[red flower]

remove the if #G.deck.cards < G.deck.config.card_limit then

also what version of smods

[red flower]

yes

[drowsy heath]

thank you

[pastel kernel]

1.0.0 beta 0626b

[wind steppe]

how would i check (in an unlock condition) if the player has beaten painted deck gold stake?

[hazy dew]

Would it be possible to have an effect where it changes the scoring system to base 4 but keeps the blind requirements to base 10?

[wind steppe]

clarify

the number will be the same anyways itll just look different

[subtle merlin]

Question that I've had for awhile: What is the point of self in calculate when you use card to have the card refer to itself?

[pastel kernel]

it still does not create club aces

[subtle merlin]

It might be possible, I'd ask Aiko because you're messing with scoring calculations and they seem to have some experience in that area

[red flower]

what does it do

[pastel kernel]

all it does it grant you xchips based on how many cards you play

not intended

[red flower]

self is the same as card.config.center
it's just convention

[pastel kernel]

it should give ace of clubs per card in played hand.

and it should gain xchips and xmult per played club card

[red flower]

it might be giving xmult too but the _mod is hiding the message

[pastel kernel]

my main concern currently is the club aces not showing up at my deck.

[red flower]

this works for me idk

i played a pair

[pastel kernel]

and for every club card played, sans gains x1 chips and mult

[subtle merlin]

Oohhh, oki, ty

[red flower]

ok, one problem at the time

[pastel kernel]

if a club card is played, sans gains x1 chips

[red flower]

how much is card.ability.extra.club_chips

[drowsy heath]

how would i get that to display as text on a joker..... i cant get it to work i just get deck as a nil value crash

[red flower]

you need to check if G.deck exists in loc_vars

[pastel kernel]

club_chips = 1

[red flower]

1^x = 1

[flat mist]

Can we find out which card is coming next

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[flat mist]

What does shuffle means

[pastel kernel]

x = club_chips?

[flat mist]

Does misprint not tells us the next card

[pastel kernel]

or wait

x = cards in played hand?

[flat mist]

I heard that in one short

[red flower]

yes, it does what i said

shuffle means this

[red flower]

1 to the power of anything is 1 is what i mean, your math is wrong

[flat mist]

So if your are in a blind you can check which card will come next

[red flower]

yes

[pastel kernel]

oh

i'm a dumbass

[flat mist]

What about next 5 cards

[red flower]

they're in order in the deck array from last to first

[flat mist]

Thanks

[empty solstice]

The only thing I can think of is maybe I'm supposed to format my images differently, like separating the suits into different rows or some such... or it doesn't like the fact that I don't have a spade suit (because it'd be redundant)

...would you have one of the images that go with this so I could compare the layout?

[flat mist]

Ok so if you are in blind is there any way to destroy all card of a specific rank in hand and in deck also

[red flower]

yes, during score calculation?

[flat mist]

Yes

At end of blind

[formal parrot]

Definitely possible

[tired moat]

if anyone needs ideas for jokers for their mod i can help

ive been writing down a lot

[drowsy heath]

me i would love a list of ideas my mod is slow rn bcoz i have no ideas

[tired moat]

and im never gonna make a mod because

1. coding too hard
2. drawing too hard

i could learn but im lazy

[drowsy heath]

my friend does the art for my main mod and coding just takes practice

[red flower]

then not during score calculation lol

i think by that time the cards in hand are already shuffled into the deck so you would have to loop through G.deck.cards and check if card:get_id() is the id of the rank you want and then call SMODS.destroy_cards(card)

[drowsy heath]

yeah i tried to figure it out on my own basing it off of idol and just using the rank selector and i got lost

[pastel kernel]

my extra ace clubs aren't showing up

it's instead cloning other playing cards

i have more ace of hearts than ace of clubs

[red flower]

dunno works fine for me

[hushed field]

Is there a way to check whether the current context is happening within the scoring window? I'm wanting a joker to give xmult on post_trigger for the adjacent joker, but the simplest implementation of that would trigger even when scoring shouldn't happen

[pastel kernel]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and #context.scoring_hand > 0 then
            local scored_count = #context.scoring_hand
            for _ = 1, scored_count do
                    SMODS.add_card{set = "Playing Card", rank = "A", suit = "Clubs", area = G.deck}
            end
        end
    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
        local base_chips = context.other_card:get_chip_bonus() or 0
        if context.other_card:is_suit("Clubs") then
            card.ability.extra.xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips * card.ability.extra.club_chips
            card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult * card.ability.extra.club_mult
            return {
                xchips = math.floor(base_chips * card.ability.extra.xchips),
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult,
                card = card
            }
        end
    end
end

[red flower]

maybe G.STATES.HAND_PLAYED?

[pastel kernel]

do i have to add key_append = sans?

[hushed field]

Oooh, yeah, that might work

[red flower]

no, that works as is
what other mods do you have installed

[drowsy heath]

well i dont even know what to say

[red flower]

a card is a table yes

[drowsy heath]

how come it says this and not the card

[red flower]

because it's a table

you need to manually check for the properties you want to display

[pastel kernel]

galdur, talisman, debugplus, cryptid, fusion jokers, joker studio, card sleeves, sample jimbos, my own jokers as individual mods, and the inactive ones like yahimod, saturn, and preorder cards.

[red flower]

try disabling cryptid

[drowsy heath]

how do i do that one then

[red flower]

if cryptid doesnt work with my smods features im going to explode

[red flower]

idk what do you want to show

[drowsy heath]

the card which is next to be drawn

i used the line you told me to and it gives me that

[red flower]

yes i get that, which properties of the card

[drowsy heath]

the rank and suit

ohhhh

i feel stupid

[red flower]

if you want to show the card graphic itself you need a cardarea and stuff

[drowsy heath]

yeah after it was dumbed down i get it

[pastel kernel]

oh my god, it exponentially rises

oh fuck

i just realized

it's supposed to be + 1, that's why it exponentially rises

when i reenable cryptid

it creates clones of random playing cards

but if i play vanilla

it gives ace clubs

[red flower]

i hate cryptid

i will see if i can fix it for them

it's probably their create_card override

whats the question mark

[daring fern]

I thought they fixed that.

[tardy juniper]

how can i make a joker award money only on the boss blind?

[red flower]

no, they actually override whatever front the card had with a random one it seems

[pastel kernel]

i believe it's G.GAME.blind.boss

[tardy juniper]

can i just use that in there?

[pastel kernel]

this is a snippet from my noisette joker

if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint and G.GAME.blind.boss then

there's the G.GAME.blind.boss

[red flower]

god cryptid doesnt have an issues page?? do i have to join the discord

[empty solstice]

Tried arranging the cards in a 3x3 grid and it still used the default images. Noticed a spelling mistake in the code, fixed it, and now it's back to showing me blanks. Gonna see if changing it back to rows remedies anything.

[pastel kernel]

i believe so

[red flower]

i already reported it

[flat mist]

Text (joker) is appearing bluey in Photoshop is there any solution

[empty solstice]

Got something when I accidentally exported the full sprite sheet instead of just the grid sections with content. I might be on to something. Scribbled some stuff into the empty spaces and I'm gonna see if that gives me a better idea of what's happening.

[pastel kernel]

is there an alternative?

[chrome widget]

Hey N' can you help me out with smth?

[vast night]

Hey. I'm experiencing a weird crash with my custom ui. I understand the error, and in the game code it seems to try to find the alpha value of a color, but i can't find the object where it cant index it since there is no trace.

                UIBox {
                    definition = {
                        {
                            n = G.UIT.ROOT,
                            config = {r = 0.1, minw = 8, minh = 6, align = "tm", padding = 0.2, colour = G.C.BLACK},
                            nodes = {
                                n = G.UIT.T,

                            }
                        }
                    },
                    config = { }
                }

[vast night]

i could try help

[tepid crow]

pretty sure this error occurs when your UI tree is nested one too many times somewhere

try removing one of the {} around the ROOT node

[red flower]

yeah use create_playing_card

or dont use cryptid

[red flower]

shoot

[rancid flare]

is there a way to easily define a table like G.mytable.myvar = (G.mytable.myvar or somthing)

[empty solstice]

IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY!

[subtle merlin]

How can I make a joker "store" another joker for a round? I was thinking of deleting and recreating the joker, but if it was something like green joker, then doing that would reset it and I don't want this to reset the joker

[red flower]

you would need to save it to another cardarea

[chrome widget]

I have a joker that changes the values of Glass Cards upon being picked up.

G.P_CENTERS.m_glass.config.extra = card.ability.extra.glass_break

for _, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do
    if v.config and v.config.center and v.config.center.key == 'm_glass' then
        sendDebugMessage('updating glass cards')
        v.ability.extra = card.ability.extra.glass_break
        v.ability.x_mult = card.ability.extra.glass_mult
    end
end```

This does work for *new* glass cards, but the changes to existing ones upon adding or removing the joker from the deck don't seem to work right? Usually it ignores the changes to the Xmult properties even though afaik the code for Glass Cards in `generate_card_ui` uses `center.config.Xmult` which I *do* change for the center itself

So I get results like this, where I sell the card and it reverts the destruction chance (1 in 2 -> 1 in 4) but the Xmult doesn't change back to X2

Do I have to also change like card.ability.Xmult????

[rancid flare]

when i try doing it like that it tell me that it can't index in mytable

[red flower]

probably

[chrome widget]

Ugh I hate the fact that there are two Xmult properties and they do the same thing and one just assigns to the other

[red flower]

[chrome widget]

...yep that was it

Hate

[empty solstice]

Anyway if anyone could tell me what it is about this that forces the cards to be stuck in the far right of a ridiculously oversized image I would appreciate it, but I'm pretty happy with how it is now.

[paper elbow]

How would I do a "complete conversion" mod? So removing all default vouchers, consumables, and jokers before adding more.

[normal crest]

If I had to guess it'd be pos_style = 'deck'

Try using 'ranks' instead

[subtle merlin]

As in moving the joker to, for example, G.discard then grabbing it back out of there?
-# I've never done something like this

[red flower]

yes but i wouldnt do it in G.discard, i would create a new area for it

check banishing in joyousspring for an example :3

[subtle merlin]

I will, ty!

[vast night]

you are right

definition dosent take an array

[tepid crow]

👍

[paper elbow]

We goin' Yugioh?

[red flower]

i have been going yugioh for a while

Yo tysm for the hint with G.STATE! I got the custom ui working. I also coulddnt find any documentation for a new screen anywhere tho lmao

Well that sure did something... they're all coming up as hearts now, but maybe putting the suits in the same row will fix that.

[signal lotus]

            card.ability.extra.scored_suits = {}
        end
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if context.other_card.base.suit 
            and not card.ability.extra.scored_suits[context.other_card.base.suit] 
            then 
                card.ability.extra.scored_suits[context.other_card.base.suit] = true 
                return {
                    x_mult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }
            end
        end
    end```

why doesnt this work with blueprint

[subtle merlin]

-# i don't understand a word of this

[empty solstice]

Okay that just made things worse. I'm going back to having an awkward chunk of empty space for the time being.

[rancid flare]

i think they say that you can go look in the fill banishment of joyousspring mod

[subtle merlin]

I am, I'm saying i don't understand a word of banishment in that mod.

[rancid flare]

oh okay

[pastel kernel]

My sans joker acts weird, I’ll ask for some help later.

It’s kinda actually broken

In the literal sense because I don’t remember making it give chips based on your cards

[faint leaf]

i honestly have no idea where i couldve possible went wrong

[subtle merlin]

no comma after the pos table

[rancid flare]

i think you just need to create a variable to keep the card in it ?

[faint leaf]

ohhh lmao thank you

yea that was it LMAO

[idle plaza]

Blueprint and similar active rely upon the copied card's abilty.extra, rather that its own, for triggering the copied effects. So by the time Blueprint takes a turn, the scored_suits[suit] value for that card is already true, and whichever card runs second can't do anything.

You should run a second table in the ability.extra, something like scored_cards[suit] that tracks the exact card that the bonus is granted for. If other_card is this card, automatically return the xmult and don't bother with the rest of the function.

This will also retrigger the xmult whenever the other_card retriggers. If this is how you want it, great! If not, you'll need to more radically change the function. Likely by switching to the joker_main context and running a for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do loop.

[faint leaf]

okay well now it says 20 in 14 chance..... i GENUINELY dont know how to fix that... its taking my dollar value and putting it in the chance 💔

[vast night]

Hey does some1 know what the transparent hand background is reffered to internally?

[vast night]

because #1# is the amount of dollars you earn and #2# is the chance of that event occuring

make the text

"{C:green}1 in #2#{} chance to",
"earn {C:attention}$#1#{} at the end of round

[green hare]

hi there, I've been trying to edit a pokermon joker to make an upgraded version
the joker in question is scizor, it kills the joker to the right and if it had a edition, it steals it and it stacks, been trying to make it so it works with negatives too.
been able to make it get negative if it kills a negative joker, but I don't know how I could make it stack or add extra joker slots anyone could help me please?

thanks in advance btw ❤️

[robust falcon]

What does the T property in card stand for?

[idle plaza]

G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1 for an extra Joker Slot.

[green hare]

thanks a lot

and probably I should hold that data in the joker itself , the amount of max jokers added, so if it is removed you go back to the normal amount right?

[idle plaza]

Yeah

[green hare]

I have it declared as
scizor_negatives = 0
and they are added I think.. not sure how to make it pop into the ui xD

yet*

and then I would do the same code you dropped but instead of +1 it would be - scizor_negatives

[fallow breach]

thoughts on how balanced this would be

[green hare]

eh.. I ike it :3 it sounds funny heh

perhaps chance could be slightly bigger but only make it trigger after boss blinds?

[idle plaza]

You can do {X:Mult,C:White} to make it more like typical XMult styling.

[fallow breach]

thanks

[green hare]

oof heh bouncing from so many different programming languages

is there a sort of like print function to debug? like writting in the console?

eh probably normal lua should work right?

[idle plaza]

print()

[green hare]

ye just googled print in lua and it was just print xD

[signal lotus]

how do I fix the little lines on either side

[red flower]

wdym

[brittle tide]

Is there a way to get a joker to trigger when a specific planet card is played?

[green hare]

for some reason I'm not able to print the local vars that the card has .. well better said I don't know how to reach the vars..

print(" amount of negatives added = ",self.config.extra.scizor_negatives)

tried, also without the self, but it crashed :3

[red flower]

yes look at context.using_consumeable

[brittle tide]

alr

[green hare]

this is the declaration of the variable itself

local scizor={
  name = "scizor", 
  pos = {x = 0, y = 6},
  config = {extra = {mult = 0, scizor_chips = 0, scizor_Xmult = 1, mult_mod = 4,scizor_negatives = 0}},

[red flower]

replace the , with ..

[green hare]

ah really?

lets see if it works

[red flower]

that appends the two strings

[gilded blaze]

where did you put the print

[green hare]

does it needs to emm be touching the next variable?

as in ..self.config and such or
.. self.config.etc

[red flower]

both work

[green hare]

ah oki

[gilded blaze]

[green hare]

the print is inside an if statement inside the local declaration of scizor

[gilded blaze]

so, you declare scizor

and try to get print to work

what makes you think you can't declare stuff

[green hare]

???

scizor already exists

its declared

and im working inside scizor's code

[gilded blaze]

then what's the print for

is it inside calculate

[green hare]

ah yes its inside calculate

[gilded blaze]

then switch from self.config.extra.scizor_negatives to card.ability.extra.scizor_negatives

[green hare]

oki

[gilded blaze]

self.config serves as a blueprint for an object
its content gets copied over to card.ability, which tracks the card's in-game state

[green hare]

it borked worse xD

broke set_ability method

[idle plaza]

What's the error and current code?

[green hare]

let me see if I didn't missed something obvious

[gilded blaze]

was it attempt to call method 'set_ability'

[green hare]

attempt to index local "center" (a nil value)

card.lua:268

[sonic cedar]

so im trying to figure out how to make this apply to only one specific new suit but i cant seem to wrap my head around it

would i set new_suit to the suit i want it to be somewhere? if so, how?

[green hare]

weird

was thinking that perhaps it crashed for trying to use card before it was like created, but earlier code in the calculate function does use it without issues

even I added code like it a few lines before and didn't crash

if card.edition.negative then
 card.ability.extra.scizor_negatives = card.ability.extra.scizor_negatives + 1
end

[gilded blaze]

if new_suit == "Spades" then

[vast night]

im searching for it rn but i want to hide that "playing card holder" like the round eval does

[sonic cedar]

so i would put that in the for loop right
but then how can it keep track of the suits i had before?
if #self.base.suit == 0 then or something?

or no i guess itd have switched by then

so then like i have an old_suit variable?? or like a table that stores the number of cards of each suit before the change??

[gilded blaze]

check for card count per suit inside the object's update function

that's how Steel and Stone Joker calculate theirs

[green hare]

okay made it work, I'm a dumbass xD

[sonic cedar]

ahhh ok ok

[green hare]

thanks a lot ❤️

[sonic cedar]

let me workshop something rq

[green hare]

in essence.. I thought elseif was else if

and that borked everything

[gilded blaze]

you can store the values inside card.ability.immutable

I'm suggesting immutable for Cryptid compat, you can ignore it

[sonic cedar]

wont hurt

[sour garden]

    name = "Carl",
    key = "carl",

                }
            end

    end

anyone know why this doesn't work? it's intended to give 25 dollars if you have 0 dollars at the end of round, but it does nothing currently

[signal lotus]

ummm

idk what that means

sorry

@pure salmon can you listen to this dude and rewrite it

[sonic cedar]

wait i thought they did that in main

[gilded blaze]

update is used for actions that update every frame

[sonic cedar]

im blind disregard

mb 🧎‍♀️

[sonic cedar]

(you're missing the card.etcetc)

[sour garden]

i may have the stupid

thanks

[sonic cedar]

np 👍

[signal lotus]

how could I make this

[next timber]

have a list of scored suits that resets when a hand is played, when a card is scored check if it's suit is in the list, if not add it and score x1.5 mult

[signal lotus]

how could I make that with vanilla remade jokers

im trying to figure ts out

[next timber]

uhhh dunno

[signal lotus]

I had this but it doesnt work with blueprint

so im rewriting it

and also its not mine someone else gavei t to me

[next timber]

maybe add an extra array to store the cards that score 1.5x, and check if they have a new suit OR if theyre in that array

so blueprints can check if theyve already been scored 1.5x and do that again

[signal lotus]

idk how to do that

[next timber]

same as the scored_suits array but instead of setting the suit index, just do table.insert(card.ability.extra.scored_cards, context.other_card)

and if the table contains that card already then score 1.5x

[signal lotus]

Yeah idk

[gilded blaze]

this is how Photograph works

just store the cards in an array and check if context.other_card is one of the stored cards

[signal lotus]

idk how to do that

wait

hold on

yeah nevermind

that card is too complicated

[red flower]

the area is G.hand

i dont exactly know how the game does it but you can do G.hand.states.visible = false
