[hushed field]

but is the set up there correct? Do the file names match?

And whats your code for the atlas being loaded in?

[ancient mango]

the png name was the wrong name🤦‍♂️

i am stupid

[native zinc]

where's the text box code? i would like to change the text box background

[ancient mango]

it worked... but i now see this error when i click play(like the deck not the menu button):
card.lua:4944: attempt to index local 'obj' (a nil value)

[hushed field]

I'm struggling to figure out what passes into cards and what doesn't. Seals have the same calculate function as enhancements, right?

[native zinc]

btw i'd like to say that i'm cooking

[native zinc]

i believe so? no reason for it to be different

[ancient mango]

what does this mean:
card.lua:4944: attempt to index local 'obj' (a nil value)
(i am stupid)

[hushed field]

you've incorrectly set up an object. If it happens when selecting a deck, it's probably the modded deck you're making. But you'll wanna check the entire crash log

Yeah, okay, so post_trigger only gets sent to jokers. I'm just missing the specific thing that's happening that limits that scope, I guess

[ancient mango]

no it happens when i click this

cause then it loads the joker

[hushed field]

oh, don't try and continue runs if you're changing things drastically in your code

just start a new run

[ancient mango]

no its no like i started a new run

and then when i got the joker it got that error

[hushed field]

that means that specific joker has something that the game tries to check that's broken

[graceful brook]

is there a way to let jokers in the collection be selectable? aka to change the area config highlight limit to 1 instead of 0?

[ancient mango]

i can send the code its not that long

[hushed field]

Crash report and the code would be handy

[stiff locust]

is perma bonus mult/xmult in base smods yet

[red flower]

yes

[ancient mango]

wait it didnt crash again i think it works tho the tetx isnt showing up and i thinks thats becuase i dont know how to set up the loc_txt propelly with localization:
the lua file:

    key = "SpiderSushiMod",
    path = "SpiderSushiMod.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "top_hat",
    atlas = 'SpiderSushiMod',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { chips = 15, mult = 10 } },
    discovered = true,
    cost = 5,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
            return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.mult }}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end
}```
the en_us file:
```return {
    descriptions = {
        Joker = {
            top_hat = {
                name = "Top Hat",
                text = {
                    "Gives {C:chips}+#1#{} Chips and",
                    "{C:mult}+#2#{} Mult when scored"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}```

[stiff locust]

is it perma_mult or perma_bonus_mult

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Perma-bonuses

[hushed field]

can you please surround it on both ends in 3 ` marks?

[stiff locust]

ooh

[ancient mango]

thyere

[hushed field]

localization isn't working because you're missing the object type prefix and the modkey prefix

[ancient mango]

how do i do that then>

[hushed field]

[objectprefix]_[modprefix]_[objectkey]

[ancient mango]

no like wher edo i put it

[hushed field]

oh, c'mon discord

[ancient mango]

and how

[hushed field]

for example, this is a joker, so the object prefix is 'j', my mod is Balatro Goes Kino, and I've set the prefix in the .json file as 'kino', and the joker's actual key is 'titanic'

[ancient mango]

so j_ssm_top_hat would work?

[hushed field]

presumably, yeah

[hushed field]

I'll have to do a proper deep dive into how SMODS does its calculations, and for now change the effect I have in mind. Bit scared of messing things up too badly

[ancient mango]

uhh now that the text is loading i got the crash again:

i think it crashes because of the code or smth idk

[hushed field]

How are you loading in your files?

[ancient mango]

what do you mean loading my files

[stiff locust]

what did i do wrong

[red flower]

uhh can i see the code

[umbral zodiac]

that one cryptid formatting proposal from a few months back:

[stiff locust]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            local myspot = -1
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 4 then
                for index, value in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
                    if value == context.other_card then
                        myspot = index
                    end
                end
                if G.play.cards[myspot + 1] then
                    G.play.cards[myspot + 1].ability.perma_mult = G.play.cards[myspot + 1].ability.perma_mult or 0
                    G.play.cards[myspot + 1].ability.perma_mult = G.play.cards[myspot + 1].ability.perma_mult +
                    card.ability.mult
                end
                if G.play.cards[myspot - 1] then
                    G.play.cards[myspot - 1].ability.perma_mult = G.play.cards[myspot - 1].ability.perma_mult or 0
                    G.play.cards[myspot - 1].ability.perma_mult = G.play.cards[myspot - 1].ability.perma_mult +
                    card.ability.mult
                end
            else
                myspot = -1
            end
            if myspot ~= -1 then
                return {
                    extra = { message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'), colour = G.C.CHIPS },
                    card = card
                }
            end
        end
    end

should give cards adjacent to scored 4s +2 perma mult

the adjacent to scored 4s part worked fine

oh wait I see what I did

no I didn't

i read it wrong

[red flower]

yeah no it looks fine to me

you dont do anything in the localization right?

[stiff locust]

no i don't manually add the extra mult label

the joker has localization that functions

[red flower]

then i have no idea, might be an smods bug? or maybe another mod

[stiff locust]

maybe another mod is clashing with it then yeah

[ancient mango]

hello?

[summer furnace]

I still need help with that, does anyone have an idea on how to fix it?

[stiff locust]

not sure what mod that would be

it would be a mod that implements perma mult on its own

[red flower]

if you have cryptid my guess is always that

[stiff locust]

i don't use cryptid

[hushed field]

If you show how the crash happens, and your code, I might be able to spot something

[stiff locust]

my best guess is DX tarots just cause that mod is old

[ancient mango]

(i am using yahimod but that doesnt do anything)

    key = "SpiderSushiMod",
    path = "SpiderSushiMod.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "top_hat",
    atlas = 'SpiderSushiMod',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { chips = 15, mult = 10 } },
    rarity = 2,
    discovered = true,
    cost = 5,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
            return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.mult }}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end
}

[stiff locust]

not that one

[ruby moon]

Hey, someone can help me made a custom deck? I never made a mod before

[teal ferry]

did you cheked vanilla remade

[stiff locust]

gonna see if i can manually remove the secondary value for ++2 mult

[ruby moon]

I know that has some tutorials over there, but de 7-zip dont allow me Replace files

[ruby moon]

No 😅

[teal ferry]

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

[ruby moon]

And Sorry my english, im still learning

[ruby moon]

That vanilla has option to change de card deck skin?

[teal ferry]

this is a stemmodded mod to show how vanilla elements would be created if you were a modder

so theres how to create blue deck, yellow deck etc

[ancient mango]

hellooo?

[teal ferry]

btw i am new in modding too. i've been copy pasteing code from vanilla remade to understand moding

[ruby moon]

Oh, thanks for help then 🙂

[hushed field]

I'll take a look in a sec. Still at work

[ancient mango]

k

[stiff locust]

BETMMA SPELLS

well that just removed a + from each number

that's technically closer

there are no other mentions of perma mult in my entire mods folder except a morefluff joker that uses it and the smods implementation of it

this perma mult is pissing me off

i am the original starwalker

[rotund sable]

do i have to change this description to mention that the hand is redrawn or the concept of "redraw if no cards, lose if no cards in deck" is known well enough?

[stiff locust]

the card's data has nothing wrong with it so I'm pretty sure this is just another mod causing it

[hushed field]

Don't continue the run

Start a new one

[ancient mango]

ok so i started a new run and got the joker but it still doesnt show the text and also i want to be able to continue a run

[hushed field]

The issue isn't that continuing a run is broken. The issue is that if you change things in your code, the loaded in objects don't change with it, which means that the game will run code that might no longer work.

Also, if the text isn't loading, you'll have still not set up your localization properly

What does that file look like now?

[ancient mango]

return {
    descriptions = {
        Joker = {
            j_ssm_top_hat = {
                name = "Top Hat",
                text = {
                    "Gives {C:chips}+#1#{} Chips and",
                    "{C:mult}+#2#{} Mult when scored"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

[hushed field]

and you're sure your mod prefix is ssm?

[ancient mango]

yes.

[red flower]

en-us.lua

[hushed field]

Yup

[ancient mango]

ok so this is the third time that im saying this:
i am stupid

[red flower]

nah that one is understandable

[ancient mango]

thank you

[hushed field]

It's all stuff that happens even when you're more experienced, haha

[ancient mango]

it works

[ancient mango]

thats programming for ya

[hushed field]

The main thing is learning to read crash reports in a way that'll make you say 'oh, this is probably me being stupid' rather than 'oh, this is a difficult problem I'm gonna have to solve'

[native zinc]

i am responsible for three Rofflatro crashes and all of them have been syntax errors

[umbral zodiac]

does anyone know why my mod could possibly be preventing playing cards from self destructing, but just makes them not score anymore?
i literally have no idea why they don't, i dont hook anything relating to self destruction or card removal

[teal ferry]

SMODS.add_card{key = "j_my_master_hunter"}
card:start_dissolve() yo i am using this to technicaly turn my joker into another joker. any idea or resource how can i make it directly transform. or if jokers have turn back thing like when aplying ranked cards enchantment. can i make it turn back and transform it to another joker ?

[umbral zodiac]

card:set_ability(key)

you might have to do some extra stuff in order to make it turn back

[teal ferry]

how this works. will i put jokers id i want it to transform in the key ?

[teal ferry]

i guess cryptid got something like this

[red flower]

i have a joker that transforms into other jokers each round but the implementation is complicated haha

[umbral zodiac]

great,, its not my calculate_individual_effect hook
that makes this more complicated

[teal ferry]

i would not be skilful enough to implement it

does add_card function support spawning with edition ?

at least i could make it like its same joker this way

[red flower]

yes edition = "e_key"

but i would recommend using set_ability to "transform" jokers

that keeps everything

[teal ferry]

soo how do i use set ability in joker

[red flower]

like this

[umbral zodiac]

i am going to lose it why is none of the code that raises the most suspicious responsible for this

[teal ferry]

thank you guys.

[crystal pivot]

Could you post the code?

[umbral zodiac]

the most helpful i can be is by posting the entire github (which is here); i have no idea what causes this (it's been in for a while, but i never realized it was my mod since i tend to not update mods for a while)
all i'm doing right now is disabling non-essential code and seeing if it changes anything

[teal ferry]

it didnt work. i think i did something wrong . calculate = function (self,card,context)
if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval and G.GAME.last_blind.boss and G.GAME.last_blind and not context.blueprint then
card.ability.extra.invis_rounds = card.ability.extra.invis_rounds + 1
if (card.ability.extra.invis_rounds == card.ability.extra.total_rounds) then
--SMODS.add_card{key = "j_my_master_hunter"}
--card:start_dissolve()
card:set_ability("j_my_master_hunter")
end
return {
message = (card.ability.extra.invis_rounds < card.ability.extra.total_rounds) and
(card.ability.extra.invis_rounds .. '/' .. card.ability.extra.total_rounds) or
localize('k_active_ex'),
colour = G.C.FILTER
}

    end
    if context.joker_main then
        return {
            chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips,
            message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips', vars = { card.ability.extra.chips } }
        }
    end
    --
    
end

it didnot turned into the other joker

[crystal pivot]

P a i n

[umbral zodiac]

yep

[red flower]

is "my" your mods prefix?

[umbral zodiac]

i really wish i could just ignore this but it's so annoying

[teal ferry]

yes it is

could it be because j_my_master_hunter 's in_pool is false ?

[tepid crow]

please use codeblocks btw

[teal ferry]

how to do it

[tepid crow]

actually that article has broken pngs wtf lmao

at this point i'm just going to cut out entire files from the files to load list until i find the issue

[teal ferry]

the code

that got the job done quick,.,,,

[violet oasis]

Anyone has any examples on how to do badge implementation with Malverk? I used SMODS' take_ownership to add badges to vanilla jokers, but it seems to create a conflict with Malverk (the game closes with no error messages after clicking the Texture menu button).

I saw Malverk has support for badges, but while the syntax is similar to how it's used in SMODS.Joker, I dunno how to specify which Joker I want to add the badge to.

[violet oasis]

From what I understand, you add this block to your AltTexture:

    key = {
        name = 'new name',
        text = {'new desc text 1', 'new desc text 2'},
        badge = 'badge_string'
    }
}```

Then change `badge_string` to whatever you want and use it here, with the colors and text you want to show:

```Malverk.badges.badge_string = function(self, card, badges)
    badges[#badges + 1] = create_badge(badge_label, get_type_colour(self or card.config, card), nil, 1.2)
end```

But I'm not sure *where* to add the ``Malverk.badges.badge_string` function. Should it be outside of the AltTexture? Do you need to add one for each Joker I want to change? Or just one for each badge type? Do I also need one new AltTexture for each Joker/badge type?

[pastel kernel]

how do you apply gold seal to a playing card

[rotund sable]

how do i properly add the cards to the deck? rn im doing

for i, v in ipairs(G.deck.cards) do
    v:start_dissolve()
end
for i, v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
    v:start_dissolve()
end
local card_1 = SMODS.create_card { set = "Base", edition="e_polychrome", enhancement = "m_steel", seal = "Red", front = "S_J", area = G.discard }
local card_2 = SMODS.create_card { set = "Base", edition="e_polychrome", enhancement = "m_steel", seal = "Red", front = "S_J", area = G.discard }
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        G.hand:emplace(card_1)
        card_1:start_materialize()
        G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(card_1)

        G.hand:emplace(card_2)
        card_2:start_materialize()
        G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(card_2)
        
        G.hand:sort()
        return true
    end
}))

which is inside a consumable with a custom type

[pastel kernel]

        if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_eval then
            local talisman_cards = 0
            for _, playing_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if not playing_card.seal or playing_card.seal ~= 'Gold' then
                    playing_card:set_seal('s_gold', true)
                    talisman_cards = talisman_cards + 1

how do you apply gold seal to played cards?

full joker

[red flower]

the gold seal key is just "Gold"

[red flower]

replace create_card for add_card and change G.discard for G.deck or G.hand
and remove the :emplace lines

[teal ferry]

any idea why that didnt work

[red flower]

i cant read the code well on my phone but does the message show up

@ tkd

[teal ferry]

it says active when i beat the boss

normally does it just before deleting iteslf and adding other joker

this time it just stays active

and nothing happens

[red flower]

did the commented code work before?

[teal ferry]

yes commented works properly

it was also your code

thats why it work 😄

[red flower]

no idea then
what's your smods version

[teal ferry]

lets see

0626b

[red flower]

hmm yeah no idea

that's how i do it in my mod at least

[teal ferry]

interesting

[pastel kernel]

oh yeah, what about this?

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = 'Gold'}
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.xchips, card.ability.extra.xchips_mod } }

[red flower]

i might be missing something because reading code on discord mobile is a pain

[teal ferry]

no problem. i apreciate the effort

thank you as always

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/d409afd0211dc417e803bcb1311aaca691e557fe/src/spectrals.lua#L180

[rigid solar]

So I've created a Joker that says "Stone cards have their own rank" (meaning you can do 5oak with stone for example). For it to work, I created a new rank, and I applied a lovely patch to Card:get_id() saying if I have the joker and the card is stone, return the new rank.

Now, I don't want any card in the game to have that rank (like, cards from booster packs/magic trick or from cards that randomize ranks). The rank exists just for this Joker. How would I prevent this rank from generating in any way? Or is there a better way to code this joker maybe?

[vast night]

I thought i'd never need to ask again here, but what I'm doing is so complicated i just don't understand.

• How do I add a new tab to the game info screen that works a bit like the voucher menu, just for single card sprites (not jokers, not playing cards but custom cards)
• How do I store data in the run save?
• What is the discard equivalent of ease_hands_played(1)?

[vast night]

I remember something like weight = 0 maybe. I used this to prevent an enhancement from spawning in shop and in a pack?

[rigid solar]

like that?

[vast night]

hopefully :)

try spawning in many mega standard packs with db+

[rigid solar]

yeah

ahah nope, decks have the rank

and the 1st mega standard has it too lmao

[teal ferry]

when i returned to commented part , it didnt work somehow. so i changed the condition above >= from ==. now commented works again. but card: function gives error about comparing two nill values

[vast night]

try checking smods docs

[rigid solar]

i did

[teal ferry]

time to git reset --hard. to working version

[pastel kernel]

can you even retrigger gold seal cards?

[teal ferry]

oooh the error is not about transforming the joker now. i think because it transforms. i get a nill comparing error because this line message = (card.ability.extra.invis_rounds < card.ability.extra.total_rounds) and

yaaay it works when i dont try to execute a code about local variables when theres no such card to hold variables. thanks @red flower

[graceful brook]

Could anyone help me figure out how to have a list of jokers be debuffed in the collection?

[pastel kernel]

still doesn't work

[vast night]

collection? did you mean run

[vast night]

bump :)

[vast night]

what are you trying?

[graceful brook]

I mean in the collection

[pastel kernel]

applying gold seal on played hand

[vast night]

you cant debuff jokers in the collection. what are you trying to do?

[graceful brook]

I'm trying to have this be persistent

[vast night]

give me a minute

[vast night]

oooh. hm. ig hook the opening/tabchange function for the collection, and repeat with every joker in it if its a specific one and set card.debuffed = true? thats a long stretch btw

[graceful brook]

I've been trying to find those tbh

but I haven't been able to find where I can hook into them

or where they are for that matter

[chrome widget]

You have to use the in_pool() function to prevent it from generating

[pastel kernel]

The description says
"Sisyphus Prime - Applies Talisman to played cards in hand, Gains x2 Chips per scored Talisman card, Retriggers Talisman cards, stockpiles xchips and unleashes it at the end of hand."

[vast night]

card:set_seal('Gold')

[vast night]

What is talisman?

an enhancement?

or the rank you are saying?

[pastel kernel]

i meant to say gold seal

but i just wrote it as talisman

the spectral card used to apply a gold seal

[vast night]

this is to make them gold seal

and

so your description is:

Applies Gold Seal to Played Hand.
Gains X2 Chips per Scored Card with Gold Seal and retriggers them.
XChips Reset each Hand

hm

[pastel kernel]

stockpiles xchips, unleaashes them in played hand and resets them.

my main concern is just gold seal

it does gain permanent xchips on played gold seals

[vast night]

thats generally accepted just without "Unleashes them in played hand" and "stockpiles xchips"

[vast night]

ooooh. explain furtgher

i think i understood incorrectly

[pastel kernel]

xchips get stockpiled per hand, so each card gives xchips like x2, x4, x8, x16, x32

[vast night]

what

[pastel kernel]

if permanent xchips x4, then it would be x4, x8, ...

wait

is that right?

yeah

xchips > x 2 > x 2 > x 2 > ...

[vast night]

are you meaning that the joker gains x2 chips every time a gold seal scores?

[pastel kernel]

it stores all your xchips and passes it on to the next card, doubling the xchips

[pastel kernel]

yes

[vast night]

and does it reset after the hand was played?

[pastel kernel]

yes

i'm supposed to be making an interest based joker

maybe i can do it better.

instead of retriggering gold seal cards

[vast night]

card.ability.extra.xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips * 2 every time a gold seal scores
card.ability.extra.xchips = 1 after scoring finished

[pastel kernel]

um

xchips isn't the issue

the issue is not being able to apply gold seals

i'll just find a better method

instead of applying gold seals

it instead applies gold enhancement on played cards

and gains money from them

[vast night]

Another bump

[vast night]

:set_seal('Gold')

[rapid stag]

no change

[graceful brook]

seriously, where are these/what are they called

I can't find them

[normal crest]

are you calling copy_card anywhere

[rapid stag]

other than this hook? yes

in one of my jokers

[normal crest]

show me the call

[rapid stag]

cartomancer appears to be the culprit - deck opens just fine with only it off

[rapid stag]

calls

[ancient mango]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "top_hat",
    atlas = 'SpiderSushiMod',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { chips = 15, mult = 10 } },
    rarity = 3,
    discovered = true,
    cost = 7,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
            return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.mult }}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end
}

how do i make it so top_hat activates every time a jack is used

[normal crest]

well, honestly I can't tell in this code, but according to the crash log copy_card is being called with the string "294" as the first parameter

or in the latest one it was "399"

[rapid stag]

apparently this is known and is fixed in the latest dev build of cartomancer but not release

[normal crest]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_id() == 11 then

individual is when a card scores
cardarea == G.play means "cards in the played hand", you can also use G.hand for cards held in hand
other_card is the card being scored in individual and 11 is the id of Jacks iirc

[pale holly]

Hello !
I'm trying to make my joker trigger to debuffed cards but won't do anything, and i the card removal effect will only trigger once even if there's two cards removed, help to fix this would be appreciated thanks !

[ancient mango]

thx

[normal crest]

then either disable that mod or get the dev build

it's not an issue with your mod, your hook looks fine to me

[rapid stag]

great, thanks

now to figure out what's going on with my joker

[bleak plover]

Hey y'all I'm wanting to get into Modding Balatro. Any good place to start or learn how too?

[pale holly]

Check mods you like, the closer to vanilla the better for starters, check the smods wiki as well of Vanilla Remade, great resource that remake the vanilla jokers but in the modding context, this will help you a lot

[normal crest]

#1349064230825103441

[gilded blaze]

use latest commit of Cartomancer, not release

[rapid stag]

bump - so far, i've figured out:

• moving the stuff in the return table's func to before it and removing the func made the stuff in the func work, but not the message. so it doesn't like this specific return
• i wondered if it was a syntax or specific issue with the way i was forming this message, so i tried an eval SMODS.calculate_effect() with this message and it worked just fine
• i tried doing return { message = 'Test' } outside of any context at the end of the calculate and that worked as expected
• i wondered if it was an issue with changing a joker into another joker via set_ability but it persisted
  for some reason, it doesn't seem to like this specific return table in this specific circumstance? it just behaves as shown. it doesn't even crash, it does nothing. as if i never specified a return table

[vast night]

Bump

[vast night]

my discord dosent scroll to your message but try putting a print before the return

[rapid stag]

priht(return ...)?

[daring fern]

🤷 , Put it in G.GAME, ease_discard(1)

[flat mist]

How can we see the code for a inbuilt jokers

Which file contains it

[daring fern]

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

[vast night]

no just a print to see if the calculate trigger

[vast night]

unfortunate, makes sense, tysm!

[pastel kernel]

How do you apply gold “enhancement” to played cards?

[daring fern]

card:set_ability("m_gold")

[placid star]

what are those files people use that move your mod info into a seperate file?

moving this into another file e.g

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[near oak]

When its needed, is the joker key j_prefix_joker or prefix_j_joker

[pastel kernel]

Ok so it’s kind of hard to create Sisyphus Prime’s ability.

Atleast for me

What other proposed abilities should I give him?

[red flower]

first one

[bleak plover]

Thank you!

[near oak]

thanks!

[bleak plover]

Thank you too!

[flat mist]

Can someone programm a joker for me

I don't know how to code

[lament agate]

@daring fern you're still working on seals on every?

[lament agate]

you draw?

[ancient mango]

is there a way to do this:

{X:attention,C:white}Top Hat{}

without removing the space between top and hat(this is in the en-us localization file)

[lament agate]

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

[daring fern]

Yes.

[pastel kernel]

is my "if boss blind is defeated" condition correct?

if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.blueprint and G.GAME.blind.boss and G.GAME.blind:get_type() == 'Boss' and G.GAME.blind:cleared() then

[flat mist]

No just uses free art as joker assets

[daring fern]

No.

[lament agate]

try #1386843228330004611

[pastel kernel]

what do i do?

[flat mist]

It's hard one

[daring fern]

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint and G.GAME.blind.boss

[flat mist]

I can make simple but it's harder

[lament agate]

i mean you can learn

[placid star]

does your game die when you have no hand size or when you cant draw any cards? so even if u have 0 hand size but you have a joker to draw cards will you live?

[flat mist]

Ok I try

[tepid crow]

Yes. No.

[placid star]

damn ill need to hook :(

[ancient mango]

ik but how do i do the {B:} in the en-us file thing

[lament agate]

theres something you need to put in your joker's loc_vars

[ancient mango]

no like where and how do i put in the loc_vars

[pastel kernel]

            if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint and G.GAME.blind.boss then
            card.ability.extra.xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips * 20
            card.ability.extra.interest = card.ability.extra.interest * 20
            card:juice_up(0.5, 0.5)
            play_sound('holo1', 1, 0.5)
            return {
                message = "Yes, that's it!",
                sound = "sisyphus_yesthatsit",
                colour = G.C.GOLD
            }

doesn't work.

doesn't work on trigger

in your main lua

not in your

[pastel kernel]

this does not trigger after defeating a boss blind.

help

[flat mist]

Can you make a joker to show different text when buy it and different text when you see it in collection

[summer furnace]

does anyone have a solution for this issue?

[lament agate]

i have the same problem

no idea until now

stretched is caused by wrong res methink

its 71x95

[summer furnace]

thats the funny bit

it is the right res

one frame is 71x95

[lament agate]

lmao

well fuck

uhh

i never tried animating one before

[daring fern]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1341041293119459449

if card.area and (card.area.config.type == 'collection' or card.area.config.type == 'shop') then
return {
main_start = {

Would this work

[pastel kernel]

"after boss blind is defeated" trigger doesn't work.

@daring fern could help

i have no idea

[ancient mango]

thx

[lament agate]

fuck

so close

[pale holly]

bump !

[rapid stag]

the table prints just fine as expected. it just doesn't behave as expected when returned

[daring fern]

Played debuffed cards don't score.

[pale holly]

Ah

so should i just change to non scoring cards ?

[pastel kernel]

ok fuck trying to look for answers at 1AM, i'm going to bed.

[daring fern]

No, I mean debuffed cards don't call calculate so it is impossible to do things on them without patching.

[red flower]

you can check if card.area == G.jokers

[pale holly]

ah i see, i was thinking since they could play the scoring animation there was a way for my joker to trigger it for those cards especially

[flat mist]

Let me try

[flat mist]

Will this check wether card in collection or in possession

[lament agate]

i need

hlep

[red flower]

that checks if it's in possession

[lament agate]

calculate = function(self, back, context)
        if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual then

                        local chosen_type = pseudorandom_element(consumable_types, pseudoseed('thanksforsloppingby'))
                        
                        SMODS.add_card({

                        return true
                    end
                }))
            end
        end
    end
}

this doesnt spawn anything after

defeating a blind

what did i do rong

[red flower]

i dont think blind.skipped is a thing

[lament agate]

fuck

only that?

[red flower]

im still reading
jokers are G.P_CENTERS not G.P_CARDS

[lament agate]

right

[primal robin]

You know, that looks kinda cool. A lot of numbers, he-he.

So, basically tabs UI and pagination ready, now... API?

[red flower]

you also dont need to do any of that, add_card can spawn a common directly

[lament agate]

how

set joker rarity 1?

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card{set = "Joker", rarity = "Common"}

[lament agate]

its not a number?

[red flower]

you can do a number but theyre different for add_card

[lament agate]

right

the consumable is right too?

[red flower]

that looks fine

[ancient mango]

how do i make bottom_hat activate only if its adjacent to top_hat:

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "top_hat",
    atlas = 'SpiderSushiMod',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { chips = 15, mult = 10 } },
    rarity = 3,
    discovered = true,
    cost = 7,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
            return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.mult }}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_id() == 11 then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end
}

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "bottom_hat",
    atlas = 'SpiderSushiMod',
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { chips = 50, mult = 50 } },
    rarity = 1,
    discovered = true,
    cost = 3,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
            return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.mult, colours = { HEX('FF9A00') } } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end
}

[vast night]

can you show the return?

[red flower]

do what blueprint does to get the index and then check if index-1 is top hat or index+1 exists and its top hat

[lament agate]

its still not spawning anything

[red flower]

do you want it to spawn when the blind is disabled?

[lament agate]

well no

[ancient mango]

i dont know how blueprint does it and i dont really know how to code the mods

[red flower]

well, then add a not in front of that condition lol

[lament agate]

fuck

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/d409afd0211dc417e803bcb1311aaca691e557fe/src/jokers.lua#L3846

[vast night]

and the message dosent show up?

[rapid stag]

yes.

it used to be that the entirety of that prior if statement was in a function in the return table and that didn't happen either

so for whatever reason, the game is just not doing anything with this return table

[red flower]

set = "Joker"

[ancient mango]

i still dont know how to do it and i dont understand the code in the blueprint

[lament agate]

damnit

[red flower]

I would recommend reading a bit more on lua then

It's a loop that checks at what index the card is in G.jokers.cards and gets the card at the index+1 (the right card)

[lament agate]

@gaunt thistle wrong chat

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BAHAHAHAHA

[gaunt thistle]

wrong chat

[lament agate]

shut up

grr

[gaunt thistle]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BAHAHAHAHA

ok lets go to modding chat

[shell timber]

modding-dev is civilised, as opposed to modding-chat

[lament agate]

the difference being this chat is more productive

hush

[ancient mango]

ok but isnt there like an if that checks for thing in the joker area

[red flower]

next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) checks if you own it

[vast night]

seems like your localization function may be wrong?

[ancient mango]

i need to check if there is a specific joker in a specific slot in the joker area

[red flower]

I know, and I already told you how to do it lol

[rapid stag]

no; i tried an eval SMODS.calculate_effect() with this and it worked just fine

[ancient mango]

but i dont understand lua or SMODS like i barely understand them

[red flower]

well, I'm sorry

This channel is for modding help, not for someone else coding it for you

[modern kindle]

hi N

[red flower]

hi dilly!

[modern kindle]

how are you my friend

[red flower]

im sick again..
wbu

[ancient mango]

im not asking someone else to code i just want the fucking if statement like thats its i can do the rest

[modern kindle]

D:
get some soup, water, and rest
im okay, i went to get my rent from the atm yesterday and it ate my money so i had ot call the bank and they claim ill get it back in a few days so im waiting for that

400 bucks missing thank god i didnt try and pull more
otherwise its been hot here and is getting hot this week too

[red flower]

There's no simple if statement for that

[rapid stag]

wouldn't just putting the next call in an if statement do that, though

oh specific slot

yeah, the for loop is probably the best bet for that, then

just loop through G.jokers.cards until you find your jokerand put the index into a variable. there's your slot number

[red flower]

damn thats crazy

please take care, I've heard heatwaves are very bad this year in most places

[summer furnace]

are there any video to spritesheet converters, that are good to use? since I really do not want to space out every single frame (73) 1 pixel away 😭

[pale holly]

so, how do i make the card trigger for more than one card being removed (hangman for exemple)

[modern kindle]

i am being safe :D
i got plenty of water and all that

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(context.removed) do?

[pale holly]

i could try that, thanks

[summer furnace]

since every single one I found, does not work, or does not space them out

[red flower]

maybe you can use ffmpeg to convert it to frames and then use something like this to make the tileset
https://www.finalparsec.com/tools/sprite_sheet_maker

[summer furnace]

I'll do that thanks!

[near oak]

anyone know whats going on with this? my mods made with joker forge and crashes on startup

[pale holly]

show the code

[near oak]

which part?

[pale holly]

well it seems to be main.lua, so around the line 212 from what i see

also joker forge is still quite a WIp and from what i remember, it's simplified lua, so the way it'll be coded may not work correctly

[vast bough]

send the json from the site in the joker forge channel and I will have a look at it

probably a bug with a specific combination of triggers, conditions, and effects

[pale holly]

i'm pretty sure something like created spectral doesn't even exist, more like add consumable spectral

unless it's a local

[vast bough]

if I remember it correctly, it creates a local variable to conditionally show the message based on if it was successful

[vast bough]

I will have a little look at it tonight when I'm home

[rapid stag]

bump:

• moving the stuff in the return table's func to before it and removing the func made the stuff in the func work, but not the message. so it doesn't like this specific return
• i wondered if it was a syntax or specific issue with the way i was forming this message/localize call, so i tried an eval SMODS.calculate_effect() with this return table and it worked as expected
• i tried doing return { message = 'Test' } outside of any context at the end of the calculate and that worked as expected, so it's specifically this return
• i wondered if it was an issue with changing a joker into another joker via set_ability, but it persisted when i tested it by spawning it from collection
• there's no issues with printing the return table. that behaves as expected.
• tested this during a blind to the same problem
• testred other return tables and they work as expected
  here is the current calculate function with the return that is misbehaving highlighted:

[pale holly]

one thing i would recommand is to put the jokers in a separate lua file, sure keeping all in the same lua file works but it'll be easier if you have separate files and everything
though again i suppose it's Joker FOrger way to work

Also, do you know a lil about manual joker codding ?

[vast bough]

I eventually wanna split it up into separate files properly when I add things like consumables and stuff to jokerforge

and I want to add export options so if you would prefer each joker be it's own lua file in a joker folder, you can do that

that sorta thing

cos I've seen a couple mods do that too

[pale holly]

yeah, cuz one big file seems hell to navigate trough, even the id being a large number sure does avoid conflic but wow

[misty gorge]

this code for some reason keeps giving me "attempt to compare table with number" errors, even when inserting to_big()

[pale holly]

yeah i think i did said 'bout this, singular joker exports and can help a lot

[vast bough]

thankfully there's already ways to export individual joker files (added I last night), but you are right, export options would be great

[daring fern]

Put to_number(to_big()) around G.GAME.dollars

[red flower]

If your goal is to either set dollars to 0 or double the current amount then you're doing it wrong btw

[misty gorge]

Yeah I just realized that rn

[misty gorge]

Why does that exist and why does that make my joker work

[daring fern]

Because G.GAME.dollars is a table because of Talisman and to_number() turns it back into a number.

[misty gorge]

Damn

[rapid stag]

narrowed it down further:
the game is outright refusing to do anything with a return table during context.remove_playing_cards

which is weird because that means @red flower s one here (on which this is based) should not work? https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L4706

[red flower]

let me check

also funny

[lament agate]

how do i set Jokers edition with add_card?

[lament agate]

JokerDeception

[rapid stag]

put the created joker into a variable, do :set_edition() on that

[daring fern]

edition = "e_modprefix_key"

[flat mist]

Do I need to restart the game every time I update the code or is there any quicker way

[pale holly]

Diavolo be like

[rapid stag]

oh, inside add_card

[lament agate]

different approaches

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

thanks

[rapid stag]

yeah, that should work in the add_card table

[lament agate]

so if it's vanilla, it's e_negative

[daring fern]

Yes.

[rapid stag]

yes

[lament agate]

tyty

[red flower]

works fine for me

[magic mauve]

Alright, now I'm wondering why Talisman turns a major game variable into a table and how that doesn't create major compatibility issues for mods that aren't made for Talisman in mind

[tepid crow]

Restart. You can press alt+f5 for it to instantly restart

[red flower]

how that doesn't create major compatibility issues for mods that aren't made for Talisman in mind

🙂

[sand sandal]

is there a way to change card enhancement with a function

[daring fern]

card:set_ability("m_modprefix_key")

[red flower]

the reason why is to allow the numbers to bypass the lua number limit

[summer furnace]

for a spritesheet you only need 1 pixel distance between 2 sprites right?

[daring fern]

No, there should be no distance.

[summer furnace]

oh okay!

[sand sandal]

thanks

[tepid crow]

Mods, get him

[red flower]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[sand sandal]

what's the key for steel card bro

[daring fern]

m_steel

[keen gorge]

🔫

[magic mauve]

That was also the best I could figure out.... still no idea how Non-talisman mods and Talisman mods work together if they expect different things from G.GAME.dollars

[tepid crow]

thanks gothic

[tepid crow]

They just don't. It crashes

Unless the non-talisman-requiring mod adds compatibility for talisman

[red flower]

most devs are aware of Talisman so they add compatibility themselves

[summer furnace]

why the hell does my animated joker move to the left by one pixel every frame 😭

[tepid crow]

lmao

[summer furnace]

I mean the animation itself not the joker lmao

[sand sandal]

this should coverts cards into hearts polychrome steel kings right?

[red flower]

spritesheet is wrong maybe?

or the defined size in the atlas

[red flower]

if card is a valid playing card, yes

[magic mauve]

They just don't. It crashes

most devs are aware of Talisman so they add compatibility themselves
Those were my best guesses, mostly I was hoping there was a different answer but.... well good to know ^^

[red flower]

we are also hoping there's a different answer someday lol

[magic mauve]

Hehe, hopefully ^^

[flat mist]

Is there any way to make a card show different text during collection and when you buy it

[keen atlas]

when there's a general compatible version of talisman, probably never

[red flower]

yes, return a different key in loc_vars

[sand sandal]

oh yeah set_seal should do the last trick

[red flower]

i dont even know if there's anyone actively working on talisman rn

[sand sandal]

anyway edgy

[pliant garden]

x9.99e256 what

[frigid perch]

Something odd: When I add a third joker, it always becomes foil?

Game.main_menu = function(change_context)

    local ret = mainmenuref2(change_context)

    local newcard = SMODS.create_card({key='j_hanging_chad',area = G.title_top})
    G.title_top.T.w = G.title_top.T.w * 1.7675
    G.title_top.T.x = G.title_top.T.x - 0.8
    G.title_top:emplace(newcard)
    newcard:start_materialize()
    newcard.T.w = newcard.T.w * 1.1 * 1.2
    newcard.T.h = newcard.T.h * 1.1 * 1.2
    newcard.no_ui = true

    local newcard = SMODS.create_card({key='j_brainstorm',area = G.title_top})
    G.title_top.T.w = G.title_top.T.w * 1.7675
    G.title_top.T.x = G.title_top.T.x - 0.8
    G.title_top:emplace(newcard)
    newcard:start_materialize()
    newcard.T.w = newcard.T.w * 1.1 * 1.2
    newcard.T.h = newcard.T.h * 1.1 * 1.2
    newcard.no_ui = true
    return ret
end```

No idea why it would

[sand sandal]

yeah

[wintry solar]

Create card will be auto rolling an edition and because the game hasn’t set a seed it always uses the same default one

[summer furnace]

So I found out why, my dumbass forgot to update the x2 image 😭

[frigid perch]

So I'd have to set the edition manually somehow, right?

[daring fern]

No, you just use Card()

[rugged crown]

is there a way for a deck or a stake to set certain boss blinds for ante? Like if i wanna do ante 1 you play this blind

[pliant garden]

wrong area, oops

[frigid perch]

Would that be just under the SMODS line?

Sorry, I'm very new to this

[daring fern]

No, it would be something like```lua
local newcard = Card(G.title_top.T.x, G.title_top.T.y, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, G.P_CARDS.empty, G.P_CENTERS.j_modprefix_key, { bypass_discovery_center = true })

[summer furnace]

Would it be possible to somehow remove all decks except for one an every challenge from the game? (it's for a joke mod for my friend)

[chrome widget]

Talisman support is unfortunately a case of "Talisman got in early so now everyone must subscribe to it"

[frigid perch]

Oh so I'd add Card( before G.title_top.T.w and add the ) after newcard.no.ui = true?

[daring fern]

No, you would replace local newcard = SMODS.create_card(...) with what I sent.

[rugged crown]

bump just wanna know if possible if anyone has tried

[daring fern]

Yes.

[frigid perch]

Oh, so no SMODS necessary then

[summer furnace]

Does anyone have an answer for that?

[rugged crown]

whats the code? if so how did you make a blind a specific boss?

[daring fern]

It would probably require patching.

[next timber]

how would i make a joker do something every 0.25 seconds?

[umbral zodiac]

check out how entropy spawns the 'endless entropy' boss blind
that's at least one im aware of that has an override condition

[rugged crown]

omg thx that will def help

[red flower]

use update and check either G.real_dt or G.TIMERS.REAL

[graceful brook]

Could someone help me find where i can hook into the collection rendering to debuff some jokers?

[summer furnace]

Sooo I have this problem that tthe game crashes when I try to give a joker with a tarot card, but a specific pool only (and yes the pool is the same) Does anyone have a solution for this?

    key = 'givehdjoker',
    set = 'Tarot',
    object_type = 'Consumable',
    name = 'finushd',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'FinusHD',
        text={
        'Erstellt einen rndm',
        '{C:attention}Finushd Joker{}',
        '{C:inactive}(braucht Raum){}',
        },
    },
    
    
    pos = {x=0, y= 0},
    order = 99,
    atlas = 'consumatlashd',
    unlocked = true,
    cost = 4,

    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        local card = create_card('HDJoker', G.Jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'finushd')
        card:add_to_deck()
        G.jokers:emplace(card)
    end,

    can_use = function(self, card)
        if #G.jokers.cards < G.jokers.config.card_limit then
            return true
        end
    end,
}```

[red flower]

like, show them as debuffed in the collection?

[graceful brook]

yes

I have a list of jokers I want to show debuffed in the collection

[red flower]

I would look into how the Banner mod does it

[graceful brook]

oh thats exactly what i need, thanks

[red flower]

what's the crash

[red flower]

can i see the objecttype

[magic mauve]

I've been curious about custom main menu cards, but one thing I notice is, using the same code as above with Perkeo, jokers with floating sprites appear to be off-centered

[pliant garden]

so many discussions about main menu cards

i want my main menu to have 70

make de mods

[magic mauve]

Hehe, well it's mostly the previous discussion about main menu cards that made me look this up ^^
As far as I can see in the search bar though, it doesn't seem to happen that often ^^

[summer furnace]

do you mean the pool?

[red flower]

yes

[summer furnace]

pools = {['HDJoker'] = true}, I have this for every joker I made

[red flower]

thats not enough, you need to make an SMODS.ObjectType

[summer furnace]

wdym?

[red flower]

you need to make an objecttype for that pool to be registered

[summer furnace]

oooh okay how do I do that?

[red flower]

i dont have an example rn https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType

[faint yacht]

...didn't you point to mine as example once?

[summer furnace]

thanks for the help!

[sage crater]

this should dip below 0 at some point

currently oscillates between 17 and 3

making it go from like +20 to -5 would be funny

[pliant garden]

i think this is enough money for that

[red flower]

a couple of times but i always github search it and i dont want to do that on my phone :3

[faint yacht]

-# Phone, yeah, valid.

[sage crater]

lmaoo

[modern kindle]

N go to sleep you're sick

[red flower]

im working

[modern kindle]

Tell them you're sick

I will have to intervene

[red flower]

i did, im working from home but im not sick enough to not work..

[granite nymph]

is there ANY possible way to make a card edition add or minus a value

(eg: add +5 mult when discarded or something)

[daring fern]

You can't give mult outside of scoring.

[granite nymph]

iom saying like

the card gains mult

and when its played it gives all its mult

[daring fern]

Then yes.

[placid star]

is there a way to print functions that are called?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[placid star]

how would one do that?

[daring fern]

print(function())

[placid star]

where should i put that to print EVERY function that is called?

[daring fern]

Then no.

[final jewel]

Is there a way to prevent playing card to to spawn with a custom enhancement in the shop or in packs ?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[final jewel]

what is it

[daring fern]

in_pool = function(self) return false end

[final jewel]

kk thx

[placid star]

would u happen to know what function kills you if you cant draw any cards?

[daring fern]

Game:update_selecting_hand()

Hi. A friend of mine is testing my mod and for some reason they get like 0-1 fps (according to db+) and he got this crash when opening his mods folder. could someone help please? (I honestly dont think this happened because he opened the folder but i still dont get the problem)

Code?

[vast night]

thats the fun part. there is probably no error on the mod's side since the crash happens in smods, but it is in my game:update hook so here is the update hook:

local game_update_ref = Game.update
function Game:update(dt)
    -- pre hook
    local ret = game_update_ref(self, dt)
    -- post hook

    -- update websocket client
    client:update()

    -- wait for poll screen
    if self.STATE == self.STATES.FATES_WAIT_FOR_POLL then
        self:update_wait_for_poll(dt)
    end

    -- game timer
    local countdown = math.floor(60 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - FATES.TimerStamps.COUNTDOWN))
    if countdown > 0 then
        FATES.Timers.COUNTDOWN = countdown
    else
        FATES.Timers.COUNTDOWN = 0
    end

    -- return hook
    return ret
end

[daring fern]

If the crash comes from SMODS, most of the time it is not an SMODS problem.

[vast night]

here is the full crash

[rapid stag]

bump:

• moving the stuff in the return table's func to before it and removing the func made the stuff in the func work, but not the message. so it doesn't like this specific return
• i wondered if it was a syntax or specific issue with the way i was forming this message/localize call, so i tried an eval SMODS.calculate_effect() with this return table and it worked as expected
• i tried doing return { message = 'Test' } outside of any context at the end of the calculate and that worked as expected
• i wondered if it was an issue with changing a joker into another joker via set_ability, but it persisted when i tested it by spawning it from collection
• there's no issues with printing the return table, behaves as expected.
• tested this during a blind to the same problem
• tested other return tables in other contexts and they work as expected
• tested trying to return any kind of valid joker return table during context.remove_playing_cards, game seems to just not want to do anything with tables returned during this context. seems to be a problem unique to me?
  here is the current calculate function with the return that is misbehaving highlighted:

how do i fix my return table not working as expected? the problem is that nothing is happening. it's as if i'm not returning anything

[vast night]

idk if i remember correctly but dosent localize to put it in brackets

[rapid stag]

it's a table call

you can do either localize{} or localize({})

the former just does the latter

[vast night]

oh bruh

well what does it show then

add an or "BROKEN" to see if the returned value is nil

[urban wasp]

how do i use a vanilla shader as the shader in my edition

i.e. i want my edition "really negative" to use the negative shader from vanilla

[rapid stag]

no change

[daring fern]

Does shader = "negative" not work?

[urban wasp]

oh wait i forgot to make it a string 😭

nah doesn't work

i get a crash telling me it attempted to index a number value

[vast night]

its not a number, its no value

[vast night]

desperate bump. been trying for hours

[urban wasp]

then how can i make it work, if at all?

[daring fern]

What does the update_wait_for_poll function look like?

[vast night]

its a custom screen

G.STATE

[vast night]

I've made like a new G.STATE Screen

between cash out and shop

[placid star]

oh thats fire!

did you have to do alot of ui work with nodes to do that?

[vast night]

getting the ui to work correctly wasnt the big problem. it was finding out how to add a g.state since no one has ever done that

i actually wanted to keep the mod a surprise

but oh well

[placid star]

well it looks incredible

[placid star]

and i have alot of trouble with ui but i think this is the motivation i need to finally learn it

[vast night]

making a new screen is hell

[rapid stag]

even just this for me is not working as it should

[placid star]

i will never understand why thunk didnt make a html/css like system

[vast night]

are you destroying playing cards?

[rapid stag]

...how do you think i'm running into the problem...?

[vast night]

like maybe?

[vast night]

try removing the context check at all and see if the message shows on any other occasion

[rapid stag]

yes. it does. i established this.

[normal crest]

What version of steamodded are you using

[rapid stag]

smods-1.0.0-beta-0614a

is this something that's been fixed in dev since?

[normal crest]

I don't know

[vast night]

sry tldr. it may be that destroy_cards dosent accept message as return

[rapid stag]

no, because someone else with the same setup confirmed to me earlier that theirs works #💻・modding-dev message

[normal crest]

SMODS.Joker {
  key = 'testw',
  loc_txt = {
    name = "w",
    text = {}
  },
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.remove_playing_cards then
      return { message = "Test! " }
    end
  end
}

This works perfectly fine, I'm on a dev build of smods tho

[rapid stag]

i'll take a look

[normal crest]

Before that

Make sure you have no other mods enabled when you try it

[rapid stag]

i did also try with minimum enabled mods, but i'll try agian

[hasty mist]

how can i check what rarity pool a joker is in

actually can i just

view an entire rarity pool with debugplus

how can i do that

[placid star]

how can i do something AFTER all joker effects have triggered? e.g.
i have a joker that draws a card to hand at the start of the round, and i have implemented a change that stops hand size =0 from killing you. instead i want all joker effects to trigger THEN itll check for how many cards are drawn, then if its 0 will kill you

[placid star]

eval G.jokers.cards[index].config.center.rarity

[copper thorn]

what did i do wrong ?

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { G.jokers and math.max(3, (G.jokers.config.card_limit + #G.jokers.cards) + #SMODS.find_card("j_awak_li", true)) or 1 } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                xmult = math.max(3,
                    (G.jokers.config.card_limit + #G.jokers.cards) + #SMODS.find_card("j_awak_li", true))
            }
        end
    end
}```

[final jewel]

How can I change the color of a part in the description of a joker like a part change from {C:green} to {C:blue} if a joker is present.

[daring fern]

Show the full joker code.

[daring fern]

You can return key in loc_vars to redirect the description and name to a different localization entry.

[copper thorn]

SMODS.Joker {
key = "li",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "{C:dark_edition}The Abrupt One",
        text = {
            "{X:mult,C:White}X2{} Mult",
            "for every filled joker slot",
            "{C:inactive}This joker inculded",
        }
        
    },
    atlas = "li",
    soul_pos = {x = 0, y = 1},
    rarity = "awak_li",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0},
    cost = 50,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true, 
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)

    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {

            }
        end
    end
}```

[final jewel]

oh yeah i didntt think about this

[daring fern]

Do you have a rarity with the key li?

[copper thorn]

i forgot, i havze custom rairities for everuy joker and forgot to put his rarity x)

wow

im writing at night don't worry

[hasty mist]

okay these are supposed to be removing each joker it lands on out of their own rarity pool and into the common rarity pool, why isn't it working?

the rarities visually update, but they dont move pools

[placid star]

[violet oasis]

Just in case anyone runs into the same issue as me, I figured out what was causing it. Apparently using take_ownership on the base joker causes Malverk to close the game if I press the Texture button in the options menu. I assume it's because the base joker texture is used on the GUI screen. Using take_ownership on any other jokers works without issue. Not 100% sure if I'm missing something, but reported it to the creator regardless. Hopefully this helps other people!

[daring fern]

Try using SMODS.remove_pool and SMODS.insert_pool

[hasty mist]

how would i implement SMODS.insert_pool here? SMODS.remove_pool seems self explanatory, i can just use that instead of table.remove, but i dont know what to do with the current G.P_JOKER_RARITY_POOLS[1][card.ability.extra.current] = center part, simply replacing it doesnt seem to be correct

[daring fern]

SMODS.insert_pool(G.P_JOKER_RARITY_POOLS[1], center, true)?

[copper thorn]

how do i make a ^?? Mult ?

maube needs more context sorry

[daring fern]

Do you have Talisman installed?

[copper thorn]

...

i don't wanna bother with dependencies tonoght, sorry for the bother tho,

ima check on itlater

[hasty mist]

i dont believe so

[daring fern]

You should probably set card.ability.extra.current then set center

[hasty mist]

what do you mean

[rapid stag]

current dev build of steamodded and minimum mods enabled make no change - the game still does nothing with the return table

[normal crest]

what is minimum mods enabled

just the one mod with the joker and debug plus i imagine

[rapid stag]

debug plus, my mod and malverk.

[normal crest]

What else does your mod have

[hasty mist]

i dont understand

[daring fern]

Reverse the order of the lines in the image.

[placid star]

PLEASE IM SUCKING SM AT THIS I CANT FIND A SOLUTION 😭

[hasty mist]

alright it seems to be better now but it still crashes after a few rerolls

[granite nymph]

would the opposite of card.ability.extra.chip_gain
be card.ability.extra.chip_loss

[rapid stag]

in terms of what, exactly
i do hook SMODS.calculate_context but only to add a specific thing during context.end_of_round
i also have a bunch of other hooks like draw_from_play_to_hand
but nothing that should specifically disrupt context.remove_playing_cards, especially in a way that only specifically prevents return tables from doing anything.
i have patches, but again, nothing that should be touching this specifically

[daring fern]

Perhaps.

[normal crest]

well, it works for everyone but you, and the one thing you have that we don't is your mod

try it without your mod

[daring fern]

After scoring or after any joker effects?

[placid star]

after all my jokers triggers

since there isnt any scoring in this context

[hasty mist]

i hate rarity manipulation so much holy shit

absolutely impossible to work with

this is the code at the moment

[rapid stag]

i actually expected my mod to be the culprit.

...it in fact, isn't.

[normal crest]

uhm

destroy a card using hanged man?

[vast night]

hey, where is the function stored that gets called once you lose / you end the game

[rapid stag]

...i'm even more confused that this works

why does context.remove_playing_cards care about the source of the destruction

[vast night]

you where deleting the card via db+?

[normal crest]

end_round

state_events.lua

[rapid stag]

yeah

[vast night]

oh lol

[vast night]

that dosent count as destroying

😭 nvm

atleast it works now

[normal crest]

More like why would debugplus bother calculating the context when it's not meant to be a gameplay mod

It's meant for debugging purposes

[rapid stag]

and that doesn't include testing implementations?

that's so confusing

[normal crest]

So it only does it for jokers?

Anyway, it clearly doesn't work

[rapid stag]

i guess i'll raise it in the debugplus thread since this is just weird

[copper thorn]

i need help again, my joker is supposed to act like an inverted Stencil, X50 mult for each filled joker slot, it works fine with numbers under ten but with nulber bigger than ten it just acts like a simple X<10

this joker excluded too*

ima go to sleep i haven't checked the time, drop your help if you want i'll read them tomorrow

[normal crest]

okay I see, this does nothing because eval_card doesn't actually use the return value

I didn't expect debugplus to actually try and trigger that context

[red flower]

the math is completely wrong, you want just
xmult = 50 * #G.jokers.cards

if you care specifically about slots being filled, and not cards that are overflowing for some reason then
xmult = 50 * math.min(G.jokers.config.card_limit, #G.jokers.cards)

you dont need to count the joker itself since it should be in the joker slots already lol

[scenic elm]

What's the difference between ipairs() and pairs()?

[normal crest]

ipairs will loop thru consecutive integer indexes starting from 1

pairs will loop through all the keys

[red flower]

pairs is also not guaranteed to be in order

[scenic elm]

i'm not sure i get how that's different. could you elaborate? /genq
also, please @ me if responding :)

[normal crest]

Had to look it up but /genq apparently means genuine question

[red flower]

you can use pairs with any kind of list but it's not necessarily ordered, so you want to use ipairs if you have an array from 1..n to guarantee order (it also has the application where you can use ipairs to go through a table from 1..n while ignoring the other named keys)

i say list because im very python brained i mean table

[frigid cargo]

how can i make it so if i have a specific joker, all jokers sell value becomes 0.

[normal crest]

if you're familiar with the concepts, ipairs treats the table as an array, pairs treats it as a dictionary

[scenic elm]

i see. that makes sense to me. i appreciate it
is there a best practice for using one over the other when looping through your hand or jokers or whatever for balatro related purposes?

[daring fern]

local oldsetcost = Card.set_cost
function Card:set_cost()
    local g = oldsetcost(self)
    if self.ability.set == "Joker" and next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) then self.sell_cost = 0 end
    return g
end

[scenic elm]

i understand that. i'm coming from javascript so i'm still getting used to the whole "everything is tables" thing lmao

[normal crest]

in javascript everything is objects tho

[red flower]

IMO the best practice is to use ipairs if you know you're dealing with an array
like G.jokers.cards for example

[normal crest]

and objects are practically tables

[red flower]

everything was tables the whole time!?

[frigid cargo]

great thanks

[scenic elm]

yeah, fair point lmao

[vast night]

why tf does it crash w that

G.GAME.chips - G.GAME.blind.chips >= 0

[normal crest]

talisman 😱

[scenic elm]

i believe talisman makes G.GAME.blind.chips into a table

[vast night]

talisman 🫢

[scenic elm]

you'd wanna run to_number() on it

[vast night]

returns nil

[scenic elm]

are you doing to_number(G.GAME.blind.chips)?

[vast night]

i forgot the underscore 😭

sry

[scenic elm]

happens to the best of us lmao

[daring fern]

(to_big(G.GAME.chips) - to_big(G.GAME.blind.chips)) >= to_big(0)?

[normal crest]

is the to_big in chips even necessary

wouldn't it be only on the 0

[scenic elm]

pretty sure you'd still need to run to_number() but don't quote me on that

[daring fern]

You could, but you would want to use to_big because it will still allow the numbers to bypass Luas limits I think.

[scenic elm]

oh yeah, always use to_big when comparing in game numbers if you want or need talisman compat

any ideas why i'm getting an a nil value error when i try to access the ability field on this joker?

SMODS.Joker {
  key = "cultContractJ",
  atlas = "PLH",
  rarity = 3,
  pos = { x = 2, y = 0 },
  config = { extra = { repetitions = 3, suit = "Hearts" } },
  cost = 8,
  blueprint_compat = true,
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    local suit = card.ability.extra.suit or "Hearts"
    return {
      vars = {
        card.ability.extra.repetitions,
        localize(suit, 'suits_singular'),
        colours = { G.C.SUITS[suit] },
      }
    }
  end,

  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card.is_suit(card.ability.extra.suit) then
      return {
        repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions
      }
    end
  end,

  update = function(self, card, dt)
    if G.hand and card.added_to_deck then
      for i, v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
        if not v:is_suit("Hearts") then
          v:set_debuff(true)
        end
      end
    end
  end

  -- todo: add joker display compatibility @chore
}

[red flower]

context.other_card:is_suit

[scenic elm]

yeah just noticed it too lmao

[placid star]

does anyone know if cards are actually drawn in draw_from_deck_to_hand ? i have this but it just kills me no matter if cards should be drawn and G.hand.cards should be populated

[red flower]

this is probably an event problem

wrap your stuff in an event so it runs after the drawing card events

[placid star]

do events happen after stuff outside of events run?

[red flower]

yes

[placid star]

ahh so thats what theyre used for, do i need to use a special trigger = '' thing?

[red flower]

i think the default one should be fine

[static dagger]

I'm trying to make played cards become queens, but they are being debuffed in the "cards previously played this ante" boss after being changed to queens, how could I fix this?

Here's the calculate function that I have so far:

    calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
            local found = 0
            for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                    found = found + 1
                    assert(SMODS.change_base(scored_card, nil, "Queen"))
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            scored_card:juice_up()
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
            end
            if found > 0 then
                return {
                    message = "Slimed!",
                    colour = G.C.MONEY
                }
            end
        end
    end

[red flower]

it might be a similar bug to this?
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/issues/699

[static dagger]

Oh, ok. Thank you

[pulsar hawk]

Is it possible to put shaders (i.e. polychrome) over a badge?

[daring fern]

Like a mod badge?

[pulsar hawk]

a mod badge or a rarity badge, either or

[daring fern]

No.

[placid star]

so this works for default interactions, but i have a joker that works off of context.first_hand_drawn and the joker doesnt get a chance to trigger before it kills you

so i think the solution would be to call whatever function checks/triggers jokers then check for cards?

[pulsar hawk]

and it's not possible for any kind of badge?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[red flower]

you're already doing that, calculate_context does that
two questions: what does the joker do? does it matter that it triggers if you're losing?

[placid star]

the joker force draws a specific card if it isnt drawn in the first hand, and i would like the interaction where even if you have hand size 0 you dont die with the joker

[red flower]

well i dont think there's an easy way to do that without implementing your own hand_buffer or something

the event will always be too early for another card to be drawn

[placid star]

would there be another function i could use to check for G.hand.cards that would be late enough for the card to be drawn first?

[red flower]

no

oh wait i didnt fully understand what you meant
still no afaik, the problem is that there's no way to know that cards will be drawn in the future while also checking if cards were just drawn

you would need a hand_buffer like the joker_buffer or the dollar_buffer

(or hard-check for your joker)

[placid star]

would there be documentation on this?

[red flower]

no, it's not like an api thing, it's just a value that holds how many cards will be in the hand after events are played

look at how the vanilla cards use the buffer

basically the joker wants to increase the buffer by the amount of cards to be drawn
then you check for #G.hand.cards + hand_buffer < 1

you need to have an event inside an event inside the joker to clear it out

[lament agate]

pardon

but is

block = true a thing

[red flower]

in events?

[placid star]

would the joker on the context be the thing to add to the buffer?

[lament agate]

well in return

i wanted to block joker's effect for a deck

[red flower]

i think you can do blocking = true in returns

[lament agate]

ah thanks

[red flower]

oh that doesn't do that

that just blocks events from playing

[lament agate]

oh shit

is there a way tho

[red flower]

yes

[placid star]

ill get on that tysm

[red flower]

debuffing or setting getting_sliced or hooking card:can_calculate

maybe

[lament agate]

sure

thanks

[placid star]

even with this and checking for #hand + hand buffer it still kills with the joker

oh shit event

i forgot

[red flower]

you should also print what hand + buffer is

[primal robin]

Entire day was spend on implementing all small things:

• text label if there's no appropriate card center to display
• alert, vanilla (!) or custom ones, where you can put anything, including DynaText
• pagination

Next step - support different card sizes (booster packs, halfsie joker etc), more visual adjustments, and first actual features

I should make own thread actually, but I'm lazy

[placid star]

okay so my hand buffer never increases even with the joker there

[red flower]

oh i just noticed that you arent checking if hand_buffer is nil

do you set it to 0 somewhere

[placid star]

i added it in init_game_object

[red flower]

that should probably be fine i guess

can i see more context on the joker code

[red flower]

oh, thats the opposite of what you want

the increase shouldnt be in an event, the decrease should be

also you should just set it to 0 when you reset it

[rotund sable]

how many fps do animated atlases have? or can i somehow change the fps of it?

[placid star]

updated code and "triggered" doesnt print

[red flower]

did it print before?

[placid star]

no, but heres the state_events code

[red flower]

the hand buffer is in the wrong side of the inequality

[placid star]

omg i just nloticed that

[red flower]

idk about the print, that seems to be a different logic error

[placid star]

and still, doesnt work

[red flower]

but from the code the idea is correct

so maybe it has to do with the luggage card logic

[placid star]

ive made sure that G.GAME.luggage_card is a card during testing

so that is strange

[red flower]

i mean the print should print regardless of any hand_buffer stuff in that case

[placid star]

its weird that it isnt working...

and i made sure that it isnt game overing before any of that happens

[normal crest]

@red flower brings a tear to my eyes

[red flower]

i will take it for myself

[normal crest]

MINE

[placid star]

I'll just have to hard check for my joker :c

[red flower]

lol

[placid star]

what checks for cards in hand being 0 then trying to draw cards?

[wind steppe]

how could i check the score limit for talisman in a different mod?

[red flower]

i remember this being difficult to find because it had a weird syntax but i dont remember exactly where it was 😭

[violet gulch]

Anyone ever had an issue where enabling quantum enhancements in smods causes a hard crash/game close when selecting a joker once in the blind?

[daring fern]

No.

There are some functions you can't use during context.check_enhancement that hard crash the game though.

[violet gulch]

and get_id() is one of them I'm assuming

[daring fern]

Yes.

[violet gulch]

That'll do it. Thank you

[rapid stag]

oh question, do i do operations like to_big(var x) + to_big(var y) or to_big(var x + var y) because i know talisman makes everything tables but i'm pretty sure you can't add tables

[daring fern]

No, you do them like to_number(x) + to_number(y)

[daring fern]

Yes, but talisman uses metatables to make that possible I think.

[rapid stag]

i see

goofy mod 😭

[pastel kernel]

i'm here again to try to ask for help again on my sisyphus prime joker again because again, it won't multiply its values after beating a boss blind.

i couldn't ask for help last time so i'm doing it again this time

[frigid cargo]

Its so… beautiful

[orchid dawn]

hello, i have a question, is there any way I could make the small blind and big blind become boss blinds? In mechanics and appearance

[daring fern]

Yes.

[orchid dawn]

how?

i tried for 2 hours

i really dont know

i wanna make a deck with 10 jokers slots, but all blinds are boss blinds

[daring fern]

Try looking at Enter the Gungeon from Cryptid

[orchid dawn]

whats this? a deck?

but, ty

[daring fern]

No, it's a challenge.

[orchid dawn]

ok

[pastel kernel]

i thought i had the answer but it still does not work. what am i doing wrong?

[granite nymph]

does anyone know how to fix the text at the bottom?

[formal quest]

How do I add to the base chips and mult preview before you hit "play hand"? I'm not sure I'm doing this right.

[pastel kernel]

i'm grasping at straws

[daring fern]

Yes.

[primal robin]

Development resumes after few days, for now it looks like this https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1389425026075332689

[wind steppe]

how would i check if you've scored naneinf without talisman and on vanilla score limit talisman?

[granite nymph]

are you gonna tell me?

[wind steppe]

of course not that's somethingcom "unhelpful 🤔 ❓ on every" 515

they only have four means of interacting with the world

[daring fern]

Yes.

[granite nymph]

im sure you could find out the number before naneinf (not sure but you could try) and do something like "if scored chips > number before nameinf" (OBVIOUSLY not actual code

[orchid dawn]

hey @daring fern i tried looking at the cryptid code, but i didnt understand it, can you help me ?

[granite nymph]

cryptid code is really confusing in my experience

[orchid dawn]

ye, is a insanity

a mixer

[wind steppe]

never ever ever look at the cryptid code for reference

[granite nymph]

aikoyoris shenanigans helped me more then cryptid

my biggest help was vremade

vanilla remade

[orchid dawn]

it was the only place i thought had what i was looking for, it was my only chance

[wind steppe]

also you should be more clear with what youre trying

[frigid cargo]

So i tried putting this in a function file and what it does is it makes jokers in shop become 0 dollars but make their sell value the same. Was this intentional or am i just tweaking?

[wind steppe]

what are you looking for

[orchid dawn]

i want a make the small blind and big blind become boss blind, in mechanics and appearance

a deck with this mechanic and 10 jokers slots

btw, sorry for mistakes, my english is dont very well

[pastel kernel]

i still don't know why my joker does not work

[orchid dawn]

sorry

[daring fern]

Yes, I changed the code to be correct.

[pastel kernel]

i mean i got the trigger function right

[frigid cargo]

ok thanks

[wind steppe]

im going to be honest: i dont think cryptid has this either

[orchid dawn]

cryptid has, the enther the gungeon challenge

[pure salmon]

i think i've seen it done before but i can't remember where

[orchid dawn]

not the deck, but the hardest part, the blinds

[wind steppe]

oh

uhhh challenger deep is doing something similar as well (hopefully with more readable code)

@mental nacelle

[pastel kernel]

this is my only problem

        if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint and G.GAME.blind.boss then
            card.ability.extra.xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips * card.ability.extra.xchips_mod
            card.ability.extra.interest = card.ability.extra.interest * card.ability.extra.dollar_mod
            card:juice_up(0.5, 0.5)
            play_sound('sisyphus_yesthatsit', 1, 0.5)
            return {
                message = "Yes, that's it!",
                sound = "sisyphus_yesthatsit",
                colour = G.C.GOLD
            }
        end

[orchid dawn]

challenger deep ?

[mental nacelle]

hello

[orchid dawn]

can you help me? i really dont can :(

[orchid dawn]

hello

[granite nymph]

bump

[orchid dawn]

idk, sorry

[mental nacelle]

decks aren’t really my strong point but challenger deep technically has stuff for that

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wind steppe]

i'm sure if you have a way to make every blind a boss anywhere somebody can string together spaghetti to put it on a deck

[mental nacelle]

i mean the code is janky

[orchid dawn]

sorry, but what is challenger deep?
but, you can help?
this is basically a challenge, I just want to know how to do the blinds part

[granite nymph]

are you just saying yes to evertyhting

[daring fern]

No.

[mental nacelle]

challenger deep is a backend mod that allows support for stuff like replacing blinds

[orchid dawn]

this is a shade? lol

[lament agate]

do you actually need the card background for enhancement or just the enhancement itself

[orchid dawn]

oh ok

[wind steppe]

you have to understand that something can do one of four things:

• reply yes
• reply no
• react ❓
• react 🤔

[daring fern]

The enhancement is the card background.

[orchid dawn]

but, does it work with deck?

[lament agate]

oh shit

[orchid dawn]

or somenthing challenges

[mental nacelle]

using challenger deep, if you applied the following to the run it should give you 3 boss blinds per ante:
G.GAME.modifiers.second_boss = true G.GAME.modifiers.chdp_third_boss = true G.GAME.modifiers.disable_small = true G.GAME.modifiers.disable_big = true

code block fail

[orchid dawn]

oh ok

[mental nacelle]

your deck would not work correctly without challenger deep installed

[orchid dawn]

i can use this in the my deck ?

[granite nymph]

bump again

[frigid cargo]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.selling_card or context.destroy_card then 
            card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult+card.ability.extra.xmult_gain
            return {
                message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                colour = G.C.RED
            }
        elseif context.joker_main then 
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        end
    end

why does the joker upgrade like 6 times whenever a hand it played

[daring fern]

Yes.

[mental nacelle]

it’s pretty late, so i’m not explaining very well, but if you read steamodded’s wiki you can get a good gist on where to put stuff

[daring fern]

Because context.destroy_card runs once for each card.

[orchid dawn]

ok
would it be like a API? would i have to include it along with with my mod's files? sorry, im pretty new to this stuff, im only good at programming games, not mod :(

[granite nymph]

are you gonna stop being cryptic and actually answer the question

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

well he's not wrong

[orchid dawn]

ok, sorry for disturbing you and really ty

[mental nacelle]

you don’t have to include challenger deep in your mod, but for the deck to function correctly (with the code i sent) it’d have to be installed

[frigid cargo]

ah i see, what would i use then if i want to check if a card is destroyed or sold?

[mental nacelle]

i need to optimise chdp’s code someday

[daring fern]

A playing card or joker?
