[vast night]

its so sad that im too blind to see this

idk 😭. i just know it exists in the source code

[summer furnace]

bruh 😭

[vast night]

elsewise hook into win_game() and add lose_game() right after

[summer furnace]

it says that lose_game() is a nil value

[median veldt]

how do I get a random joker and modify it

[summer furnace]

do you know where?

[tranquil gull]

this exists already but something something two cakes

[vast night]

functions/state_events.lua

[near bay]

how do i check how many suits of cards there are in a deck?

[formal parrot]

@red flower any idea

[timid parrot]

I’ve written code before that rigged the deck shuffle to put certain cards at the bottom for a boss blind. It involved some code injection tho

[small tartan]

Ok it kinda works now, how to resize the Ace slightly?

[timid parrot]

Do you want to know the accurate number or effective number?

[red flower]

my best guess is to patch/hook draw_card but i think it's more complicated than that

[formal parrot]

Fuck

[near bay]

just how many cards in the deck has a suit
(when you choose a deck. counting the diamonds will return 13. thats what im trying to do)

[timid parrot]

Oh that would just be a basic for loop

With a counter

Checking if the card is the right suit or not

[lean breach]

.

mods ban this guy

[near bay]

and how do i code that

[median veldt]

what's wrong?
i just took code from vremade gros michel and wheel of fortune

[red flower]

what smods version

[median veldt]

unno

[red flower]

update

[pure salmon]

Balatro in Toki Pona real

what's joker in toki pona

[placid star]

is it possible to see what is in the event queue at any moment?

[red flower]

this maybe?

[placid star]

where should this be slapped?

[red flower]

anywhere in the file

[small tartan]

Guys Sorry if i ask again but i can't find anything, how to resize the Ace in the main title

[leaden hollow]

hey all, idk if this is the right chat for this but can I post a sprite for one of my jokers i'm making and get feedback on it?

[red flower]

i recommend #⚙・modding-general for that

[proud depot]

Is there any good resource on the UI for balatro?

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/UI-Guide

[urban wasp]

why does this not have the background of the color shown?

return {
    message = "X" .. number_format(lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.Xchipsmult)) .. " Chips and Mult",
    sound = "xchips",
    Xchip_mod = lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.Xchipsmult),
    Xmult_mod = lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.Xchipsmult),
    colour = { 0.8, 0.45, 0.85, 1 }, -- plasma deck colors
}

it just displays as blue

[fallow breach]

how do you get odds to dynamically display in the description?

i'm looking at this example and it goes #2# in #3# even though the odds are listed as 6, and there's no 3rd thing in the config

[daring fern]

You return G.GAME.probabilities.normal in loc_vars

[fallow breach]

oh okay i get it now

thx

[ruby moon]

really, I just downloaded the mod manager and I found this mod, even so I think I'll want to do my own for fun =]

[split cairn]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
            if pseudorandom('broken_galaxy') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function()
                    SMODS.add_card{ set = 'Voucher', key = 'v_dlx_warp_glyph' }
                    return true
                end }))
                return { message = 'SWOOOOSH!' }
            end
        end

how do i make this add the voucher to the vouchers and not the joker slots?

[daring fern]

Card.apply_to_run(nil, G.P_CENTERS['v_dlx_warp_glyph'])

[split cairn]

thank you!

[red flower]

colour seems to be overriden when using _mod

try using xchips and xmult with remove_default_message = true

[urban wasp]

oh i see

it worked!!

oh my god thank you i've been trying to figure this out for so long 😭

n w
-# sob

[red flower]

i was actually worried it was a recent change i PR'd :3

[placid star]

does this clear/stop events?

[static dagger]

How would I run code when a card's id is changed (ie, with Death)? In particular I am trying to apply XMult based on Queens added to the deck and I want deathing them to trigger an increase as well as just context.playing_card_added.

[placid star]

you could just check for how many queens are in deck on playingcardadded, removed and consumeable use

[daring fern]

No.

[placid star]

when i called it thats what it seemed to do

[daring fern]

G.E_MANAGER:clear_queue()

[static dagger]

It's more like Canio where it's changes when the card is added/removed, not just the whole amount in the deck, but thanks anyway

[placid star]

oh... well ty id been looking for something like that!

[placid star]

hmm, well you could still check for those contexts and then add to mult if the base is a queen

so this should kill you given that lug is an empty table and G.GAME.luggage_card == nil, in this case it does yet i dont die

[vague crest]

hello chat i come with a strange issue because ive been making jokers without really caring about the weird bugs they have and now that im getting closer to release i should probably fix them 🤭

so what's going on is i have a joker which retriggers the jokers to the left and right once every 4 hands, like loyalty card. however, from my understanding if the jokers arent the same context, whether the left one triggers or not, the right one never will.

[proud depot]

Im getting an error for the ui test I made? Does anyone know why its happening?

[vague crest]

i have code here that merges the effects because otherwise the code wont run at all and it throws a bunch of weird errors into the console but is there an alternative that would cause this to function?

[oblique pond]

this hook crashes with this error, can't figure out why it's being so wacky

[daring fern]

Do you want to retrigger them or just copy their abilities?

[placid star]

[daring fern]

ogblind = Blind.disable

[vague crest]

i forget which one is the term for blueprint copying but i am thinking explicitly what blueprint does

[red flower]

try

local merge = {}
if type(other_jokertrigger) == "table" and next(other_jokertrigger) then table.insert(merge, other_jokertrigger) end
if type(other_joker2trigger) == "table" and next(other_joker2trigger) then table.insert(merge, other_joker2trigger) end
return SMODS.merge_effects(merge)

[oblique pond]

worked, i see now why that was failing, wrong puncuation jumpscare

thanks

[vague crest]

it works PERFECTLY thank you sooo much omg

[ocean goblet]

trying to figure out what exactly is causing this whenever i try to view the deck and, while it may probably just me being stupid, i can't figure out where in the stacktrace this is coming from

from a few cursory searches i can tell it probably has something to do with transforms but i am not really sure

[toxic flicker]

my mod aint showing up on the list

[ocean goblet]

this text file contains the whole of the error. i disabled my mod and it still occurs

[frigid cargo]

Can someone explain pseudorandom and how to use it when trying to get a 1 in 2 chance for something and 1 in 10 chance for something else

[red flower]

if pseudorandom("seed") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / odds then

pseudorandom gives you a decimal number from 0 to 1 and you're checking if it's lower than 1/odds (without oops). If the odds are 1 in 2 then it checks if it's lower than 1/2 or 0.5.

Note: With the new probability API next smods update the if statement would be if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'seed', 1, odds) then but it does the same under the hood.

[frigid cargo]

ok thanks

[scenic steeple]

sooooo, if I wanted this to set hands to 1, how would I start with that (I'm more used to C# & C++ not lua help I beg)

[frigid cargo]

if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if pseudorandom('GamblerAtHeart') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.xmult_odds then
                return {
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }
            end
            if pseudorandom('GamblerAtHeart') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.dollars_odds then
                return {
                    dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars
                }
            end
        end

why doesnt it proc?

[daring fern]

ease_hands_played((-G.GAME.current_round.hands_left)+1)?

[daring fern]

Is this an enhancement?

[scenic steeple]

thanks for answering my really simple question lol

[frigid cargo]

no, its a joker

[toxic flicker]

yall how do i make G.GAME.blind.mult = mult * G.GAME.blind.mult but without error xd

[daring fern]

context.main_scoring doesn't happen on jokers.

[red flower]

what's the intended effect?

[toxic flicker]

half the blind

[red flower]

the requirements?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.blind.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips / 2?

[toxic flicker]

when it starts

[toxic flicker]

ima try dis

[frigid cargo]

oh

[toxic flicker]

it aint do nothin

the print worked tho

[normal crest]

that's updating the value and not the text

[red flower]

after that add G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)

[toxic flicker]

oh u gotta update the text after? xd

it works thx guys

[languid canopy]

uhh what am i doing wrong ?

[red flower]

not

[frigid cargo]

if pseudorandom('GamblerAtHeart') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.xmult_odds then
                return {
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }
            end
            if pseudorandom('GamblerAtHeart') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.dollars_odds then
                return {
                    dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars
                }
            end

how can i do it so this only happens on 7s, i cant use context.other_card cause it says its a nil valie

[red flower]

also comma

[languid canopy]

oopsie

[red flower]

what context is this

[frigid cargo]

context.cardarea == G.play

[red flower]

you need a more strict context check

if you want it to trigger for every 7 then context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_id() == 7

• what you have

[languid canopy]

works, thx, but now it doesn't seems to want to get the texture i setted it to

[frigid cargo]

oh ok thanks

[languid canopy]

i hate to ask for help but im a straight up noobie at lua so...

[red flower]

can i see the code

[languid canopy]

sure, witch , loc, main, this blind ?

[red flower]

the blind + the atlas

[languid canopy]

ok nvm

i forgot the atlas for the blind in the main file

mb

[vast bough]

hey guys, can anyone explain why this is leaving the infamous ghost cards, i tried to find good references on how to do this sorta thing but i feel like im missing a line somewhere that actually tells the game to get rid of the cards. is there a better way to do this?

  if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
                local target_card = context.other_card
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    trigger = 'after',
                    delay = 0.2,
                    func = function()
                        target_card:start_dissolve()
                        return true
                    end
                }))
                return {
                    remove = true,
                    message = "Destroyed!"
                }
        end

[red flower]

yes, don't destroy playing* cards during scoring using start_dissolve()

use context.destroy_card

[median veldt]

is this any amount of overpowered
if so, how could I nerf it

[vast bough]

bruhhhhhhh

thank u

[languid canopy]

either 1 in 5 at end of ante (right after the boss blind has been fought) or make it 1 in 15 or higher 👌

[median veldt]

end of ante? what would the context even be for that

[languid canopy]

goated deltarune ref

[red flower]

context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and context.game_over == false and G.GAME.blind.boss

doesnt entirely work with mods that add more bosses per ante but eh

[languid canopy]

what's the key for atlas blind ?

[median veldt]

i can do mod compat later

[red flower]

wdym

[languid canopy]

john balatro is unhappy with my code apparently (i assumed it was a key problem)

[red flower]

that's a syntax error

youre missing a comma after the first 32

[languid canopy]

screw myself

everytime

those comma

[red flower]

also blind sprites need to have the animation atlas field

[languid canopy]

right

uhh

what are them tho

[vague crest]

been running into an issue with this joker where it's creating Weird cards at the end of the round (one for each time it's used, several if there are multiple copies of bulldozer) these cards are permanently face down (i tried flipping them over via tarot cards and theyre actually face down on both sides LOL) or alternatively theyre sometimes just unselectable and invisible, does anyone have any insight for whats going on here 🙏

[languid canopy]

straight up in the SMODS.atlas thingy ?

[red flower]

yes

[oblique pond]

how would i disable this boss blind?

[red flower]

i might be wrong but i think the problem is that you need to unhighlight original

[vague crest]

whats the function for unhighlighting one specific card?

[red flower]

card:highlight(false)

[vague crest]

it still does function but the messed up cards are still being added 💔

[oblique pond]

nvm, figured it out (had to manually blacklist boss disable effect jokers)

[vague crest]

assuming what you were asking is just this

[red flower]

please dont return functions

[vague crest]

oh is that an issue ok

[red flower]

i mean it's going to work but it doesnt do anything and it can lead to errors

[vague crest]

🤭 gotcha

[languid canopy]

ugh i can't make it work

[red flower]

no idea tho

[red flower]

whats the issue

[languid canopy]

i have absolutely no idea how and where i have to put atlas_table = 'ANIMATION_ATLAS'

[red flower]

in SMODS.Atlas

[ocean goblet]

bump

[red flower]

yes

youre missing a comma

[frigid cargo]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and context.other_card:get_id() == 7 then
            if pseudorandom('GamblerAtHeart') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.xmult_odds then
                return {
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }
            end
            if pseudorandom('GamblerAtHeart') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.dollars_odds then
                return {
                    dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars
                }
            end
        end

whenever 7s are played the code works, but if i get multiple oops then it just procs xmult even though i want it to be able to proc both

[languid canopy]

still hasnt lauched it, i picked it up too

[red flower]

?

[languid canopy]

we good

put the comma and launched, nothing happend, normal ?

[red flower]

did it work

[languid canopy]

nuh uh

all i can see is a small blind

[red flower]

can i see how the code looks now

and the blind

[languid canopy]

sure

[red flower]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_id() == 7 then
    return {
        xmult = pseudorandom('GamblerAtHeart') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.xmult_odds and card.ability.extra.xmult or nil,
        dollars = pseudorandom('GamblerAtHeart') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.dollars_odds and card.ability.extra.dollars or nil
    }
end

[languid canopy]

it also got a special BlindChips.png in the assets x1 and x2

[vast night]

Hi! How do i add text wrappint to an G.UIT.T UI Object? (If possible make it just two lines)

[frigid cargo]

oh ok thanks

[red flower]

atlas = 'blind_chips' in the blind

[red flower]

u cant

[languid canopy]

no shot i forgot it

[vast night]

shit :(

ill do it manually then

is there another way to make both always the same size?

[red flower]

maxw?

[vast night]

and does only walso work?

[red flower]

it works as in it is a valid key but idk if it does the same

[vast night]

k thanks

ill just separate name and description

[languid canopy]

do i need to put the frames/sec too ?

[red flower]

yes i think

[languid canopy]

uhhhh right

[red flower]

oh sorry i didnt read the /sec
you only need to specify the total frame in the atlas

[languid canopy]

like
frames = (whatever number of frames there are) ?

[red flower]

i think so, check the docs

[languid canopy]

it is

[vast night]

Also another question: How the literal frick should I use G.UIT.O to render a card, just like jokers do, with soul_pos support?
I've checked the wiki, but It's very vague

- object: set the object to render.
  This is a literal game object, like CardArea.
- role: set the relationship of the object to the UI.
  Its value is a table containing at least: {role_type = [TYPE]} where type is either "Major", "Minor", or "Glued".
  You probably don't need to use this.

Edit: Does this mean i need to put in the Card Object from Balatro? How could i use that

[tight hull]

Hello, another quick question. If im making an Malverk compatible texture pack do I need to define every card texture that im going to change or can I define just the sprite sheet (if I change for example every tarot card)?

[languid canopy]

but now the blind is just drifting away from its place

[vast night]

sprite sheet should work afaik

[ocean goblet]

hey would just like to bump this again as it's making testing very difficult and any help would be highly appreciated

[vast night]

im guessing since thats the top mod. try disabling entr

[ocean goblet]

entropy, then, got it

[red flower]

i do that here but with a cardarea, idk if it works with an individual card
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/a2630a0a7873651ec8280a97ac8652988c2e3cc6/src/mod_info.lua#L47

probably does

[vast night]

ill look at that. thanks

[red flower]

either your size in the atlas is wrong, your sprite sheet is wrong or you put the x1 sheet in the x2 folder or the other way around

[languid canopy]

aight, testing

[vast bough]

did some more looking up, is there really not an easier way to destroy scored cards than to make 4 different contexts and keep track of an array for them

surely theres a sneaky little function or something that just does it lol

[red flower]

why 4 different contexts

[vast bough]

before, after, individual scoring, destroying

[red flower]

what's the effect you want

[vast bough]

destroy scored card

in individual

[red flower]

why in individual

[vague crest]

how would i check if a scored card is enhanced? specifically like, just any enhancement that isnt None

[vast bough]

because it is for joker forge and it being in individual means that it meshes with the system a lot nicer

[red flower]

next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card))

[vague crest]

sick ok ty

[red flower]

well no

it's a different context

[languid canopy]

the bug has been caught 🪲

[vast bough]

yeah i get that, the way i was thinking of doing it is. before context: initialise the array. individual: add other card to the array. destroy: destroy cards in the array. after: clean up the array

unless you can reference the currently scored card in the destroy context

[red flower]

yes you can

[wintry solar]

that's exactly what that context does

[red flower]

context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card:is_face() for example

[vast bough]

then i can have the system just split into two contexts with the same conditions, just the destroyed card effect only gets code gennned into that context

[vast bough]

i will test this out i think ive been overcomplicating this to a big extreme haha

[red flower]

anyway im dealing with a shader problem rn i hate shaders

does anyone know where the SMODS.Center draw function is called in the code

[vast night]

could you also reccommend a mod where a Card object is created? i am having a hard time figuring out how to do the args, specially since it wants me to give an x, y, width and height, which i thought would be automatical

[red flower]

i probably do it in mine let me check

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/a2630a0a7873651ec8280a97ac8652988c2e3cc6/src/mod_info.lua#L177

[vast night]

so i need to define a card area so or so?

[red flower]

you can make a card object without defining an area

i think for x and y you can just give it 0,0 and then put it where you want and it does it automatically

[vast night]

imma try

[red flower]

found it

damn it's a drawstep draw order issue

i need to add a drawstep to vanillaremade..

[vast night]

like one last question. (i've never done such a thing before and like i just wanna know)
What even is SMODS.Center? There is no documentation on it on smods and I've never touched themm

[primal robin]

Core class for jokers, consumables, vouchers, etc

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[vast night]

hmmm makes sense. how do i define one? can i just give it an empty table?

[red flower]

no idea, you probably need to extend from it or something

[vast night]

i also want free money :<

[vast night]

so ig its the default things you define when making SMODS.Joker?

Oh yeah, perfect

Basically API for TheFamily is done

[red flower]

amazing

oooh what you working on

[primal robin]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1389425026075332689

I'd like to make some practice examples how to use what I made, but I need to do some work

So I'll describe API and then just let others do stuff

(who cares lol)

[red flower]

ill play with it as soon as i can

i have like a dozen things that could be tabs

[plucky zenith]

Hey all, I'm brand new to modding and am trying to get a basic grasp on creating some custom jokers. I've got a bit of a background in coding, but am new to LUA. I'm having a bit of a problem getting a second variable to push through for a localization string. Can anyone see what I'm screwing up?
https://github.com/aaroncampbell/AaronLearningMod/blob/main/jokers/jokers.lua#L33
https://github.com/aaroncampbell/AaronLearningMod/blob/main/localization/en-us.lua#L8

[wintry solar]

those tabs are sick sleepy

[red flower]

did you try getting a new instance of the joker

[plucky zenith]

Hmmm, I restarted the app a few times in the process, but I do think I keep re-loading the last played hand. Let me try

[red flower]

btw is there a way i can delete samplejimbos from the internet

[plucky zenith]

@red flower Thank you - that took care of it. I should have tried that earlier

I assume samplejimbos is a bad example then - any better coded (but still fairly comprehensible for someone learning) examples I could look to?

[red flower]

They recently fixed it thanks to me sending an issue but it still has a couple of practices I don't like
I recommend:
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua

[plucky zenith]

Thank you for the better/more-current examples - I'll work from those 🙂

[scenic steeple]

alright so maybe there is a website or something that can helpme but I'm trying to make a joker give ^2 Mult (I've already got the downside made to not be op so yip) but I just can't figure this out, help please someone

[red flower]

do you have talisman

[scenic steeple]

yes

[vast bough]

this is my beautiful solution to destroying cards, does anybody know what the method is for destroying cards specifically on scored, instead of waiting until the hand is done to destroy them or is it too much effort for what its worth

 calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card.should_destroy and not context.blueprint then
            return true
        end
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
            context.other_card.should_destroy = false
                context.other_card.should_destroy = true
                return {
                    message = "Destroyed!"
                }
        end
    end

[red flower]

return { e_mult = 2 } iirc

[red flower]

too much effort imo, everything destroys this way

[vast bough]

thank you for the insight haha

[red flower]

also, while it's the same return { remove = true } is nicer than return true

[vast bough]

will add it, i appreciate it

[late garnet]

erm chat how do i fix this

[daring fern]

Update SMODS to the dev version.

[late garnet]

ah thx

[scarlet herald]

What do I need to look into to change suit text colors with my mod? Just overriding suits_plural in the localization makes this mess

[vast night]

hi again: how can i remove the popup or add custom text to it, even if it's from another set or has another name/id?

[daring fern]

Change G.C.SUITS.Clubs I think.

[vast night]

ignore the textures

[late garnet]

got anew crash, how do i fix it

[tight notch]

how would edit the weight of a booster in a voucher?

[vast night]

you are trying to get something from an undefinded variable called card

[rotund sable]

how do i import the lsp_def into the lua lsp server?

[scarlet herald]

Where would be the place to do that? Just setting it in my INIT seems to do nothing

[vast night]

bump & why does it not recognize my atlas?

SMODS.Atlas {
    key = 'fates',
    px = 63,
    py = 93,
    path = 'fates.png'
}

local function fate_card_center(fate)
    local ret = G.P_CENTERS['j_triboulet']
    ret.set = 'Fates'
    ret.name = fate.name
    ret.atlas = 'fates'
    ret.pos = { x = 0, y = 0 }
    ret.soul_pos = { x = 1, y = 0  }
    ret.config = {}
    return ret
end

[daring fern]

atlas would be modprefix_atlas here.

[vast night]

i completely forgot

do you also have an answer for the prev question?

[daring fern]

Try seeing how the cards on the title don't do anything when hovered.

[vast night]

k

[red flower]

card.no_ui = true

[vast night]

k. it would be awesome tho if i would be able to define the text. any hints. also again tysm N' and somethingcom for helping so often <3

[red flower]

i dont really know how youre displaying the card

[vast night]

i dont think that its set in the center but, i am using triboulet and modifying its values

[tight notch]

bump

[vast night]

weight?

[tight notch]

yeah thats what i want to change

[dark quartz]

Switching the files for the cards is as simple as just going into the code and just putting a different png in there right?

[red flower]

why are you changing the set

[vast night]

i think its called weight

[tight notch]

ik but how do i change it

[vast night]

so the game dosent confound it with jokers maybe? idk

[red flower]

no reason to

if you remove that i think it's going to display triboulets text

[rotund sable]

bump

[red flower]

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/blob/master/.luarc.json

[rotund sable]

do i just put it into the directory of my mod?

[red flower]

i think it needs to be at the top of your workspace folder

also you need to change the paths to the correct ones

[tight notch]

is there a function for this?

[red flower]

i dont think so

you might need to patch get_pack

[chrome widget]

Do you have to do something specific to set sprites for a joker on load? I'm trying to load this joker with sprites for a specific center other than the Joker's own and it just kinda..... uses the default?

[tight notch]

ah ok nvm

[red flower]

how are you doing it rn?

[chrome widget]

    if card_table.ability.bootlegged_key then
        reduced_set_ability(card, G.P_CENTERS[card_table.ability.bootlegged_key])
        card.ability.bootlegged_key = card_table.ability.bootlegged_key
    end
end```

and at the end of that function it does this:

card.config.center.pos = center.pos
sendDebugMessage('setting sprites for '..center.key)
card:set_sprites(center)
card:set_cost()
card.config.center.pos = old_pos```

[tight hull]

Is Malverk unable to change this texture? I havent seen a key for it and even though I put the entire sprite sheet and not single jokers bcs of that and the texture still remains the default.

[red flower]

i have no idea if this will work but try adding

card.children.center.sprite_pos = center.pos
card.children.center:reset()

[chrome widget]

After the set_sprites call?

[red flower]

before

i think

[chrome widget]

Same result. All the properties are the given center, but not the sprites?

[serene granite]

hey so i am trying to make a modded joker thats almost exactly like blueprint but it works only for uncommon jokers, but i am not sure how to do the check, i am using the vanilla modded jokers for help but yeah.. any advice?

[vague crest]

trying to make a joker that checks if hand Doesnt contain a certain suit but im thinking this has to be the wrong way to check because it's just always returning true

[chrome widget]

Oh wait I see

It's because it calls set sprites again at the end of the base load call

Using whatever the center's current atlas is

Hm

[red flower]

you could try changing card.children.center.atlas

[red flower]

what do you have rn

[tight notch]

how could i make a voucher that makes certain jokers give xmult

[serene granite]

i kinda of just have the code from the vanilla blueprint, and i am trying to use the code from baseball card to kind of detect uncommon jokers

[tight notch]

or check for a pool in other_joker

[red flower]

(context.other_joker.config.center.pools or {}).pool_key

that should work in vouchers

[red flower]

it would just be

if other_joker.config.center.rarity == 2

[tight notch]

so how would i use that to check for a certain pool

like would it be .center.pools.poolkey

[serene granite]

ohh ok, i just have to put that before the calculate part right

[red flower]

replace pool_key with your pools key yeah

[red flower]

were you put it depends on how your code is structured that's why i asked what you have

[serene granite]

oh ok

[scarlet herald]

Sorry to bump, totally stuck on how to override this global variable in a way that the game recognizes

[red flower]

well, first of all if you have an smods INIT you're using really old syntax

[scarlet herald]

oh hmm, just based it off of what was done in an old texture pack example resource since that's basically all i'm making, and up to this point it's worked ™

i can try and rebuild what little i have so far tho, based on modern examples

[red flower]

i would try to do that, sometimes that syntax causes errors
i think you need to change the color in function Game:start_up() by hooking or replace G.C.S0_1.Clubs and G.C.S0_2.Clubs

[scarlet herald]

I'll give that a try first, and if no luck, I'll try and rewrite it - thanks for the pointers!

[red flower]

oh if you're making a texture pack for playing cards you can just use this btw https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.DeckSkin

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

[scarlet herald]

Oh, appreciated - tho I'm trying to do jokers as well and potentially other little assets around the game, so I think sticking with the way I'm going is probably best (if i understand the limitations of that tool correctly)?

Tho now that you point it out, I'm starting to wonder if my rendering issues are actually a result of the default deck skin in SMOD pushing its color via that module - maybe I should try also making my own Deck Skin file to push the color that way?

[red flower]

for other things you should look into Malverk

but yeah if you want to stick to what you're doing you can try making a DeckSkin just to change the color

[tight notch]

how do I make my mod not crash with talisman?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/92cdfc73692495d0b911b711056712fda2547329/src/jokers.lua#L4849

[hasty mist]

Trying to create a negative mega spectral pack in the consumables slot, whats wrong here?

[unborn bay]

why are you emplacing the card

add_card already does that

[hasty mist]

should i not

oh

[red flower]

you can also add edition = 'e_negative' to add_card

[hasty mist]

i see

[unborn bay]

wait its a booster

uhhh

[red flower]

oh and you need to do area = G.consumebales

[unborn bay]

add area = G.consumables

what n said

[red flower]

not what i said that has a typo

[unborn bay]

through really this isn't gonna make it work properly anyway

[red flower]

it's also going to spawn a million boosters

[unborn bay]

in the actually using it department

[hasty mist]

hm

time to copy entropy again

if i can decipher ruby's rocket science code

[unborn bay]

1 morbillion lovely patches

you'll also have to account for it being run during a blind

[hasty mist]

damn you cryptid

[red flower]

i wanted to add a util function to open a booster like a tag to smods

but it's wonky during a blind so i dont want to think about it

[unborn bay]

yeah the "in-blind" stuff would be finicky

[hasty mist]

ill just ask ruby

later

[unborn bay]

thats why i didn't make gacha and mind available to use in blinds

[hasty mist]

first though i need to figure out why the fuck cryptid is breaking things

whatever this is

[red flower]

when is it not

i think this is a recent change actually

do you have both cryptid and smods updated

[hasty mist]

i dont think i was on latest commit for smods

trying that now

ok still getting that crash

and i updated cryptid yesterday so

[sturdy compass]

Speaking of Cryptid, does anyone happen to know why my planet cards cause crashes with Cryptid installed? I'm almost positive it's their problem but they haven't given me an answer lol
This is the line given by someone who reported it:
[SMODS Cryptid "lib/gameset.lua"]:822: attempt to index local 'card' (a nil value)

I've tried investigating the line myself and came up empty handed

The code for the cards aren't anything special either

[red flower]

get_type_colour(self, card)

idk if that's how it's used in vanilla but that's what cryptid wants

[granite nymph]

wrong channel :P

[limber blaze]

from my testing opening a booster during a blind does weird stuff with treating your current hand as the hand that would be drawn in the booster pack but otherwise its just like fine

but i dont remember if i did 500 patches to fix it or not

because i did it all ages ago

[hasty mist]

fuck

that is concerning

i might have to scrap

[limber blaze]

you should just try doing it anyway and if it doesnt work then i did 500 patches

but i literally dont remember

define was made really early on

[hasty mist]

yeah

literally all in trying to do is put a booster pack in the consumable slot

and actually be able to open it

[granite nymph]

we got berdly AND noelle??

[hasty mist]

watch what happens when i run a line of code I don't know

[glass scaffold]

How do I summon a card with a custom rarity with SMODS.add_card?

[red flower]

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

[glass scaffold]

Causes a crash when testing.

[limber blaze]

being able to open it is just ui stuff

iirc

i dont remember how much of that was custom

but it was some

[red flower]

can i see the rarity code and any of the jokers that have it

[sturdy compass]

That seemed to work, thank ya plenty

[red flower]

you put the joker key instead of the rarity key

[glass scaffold]

huh?

I need it to summon a specific Joker

[red flower]

well that wasn't clear from your question lol it seemed like you wanted to spawn a joker of a certain rarity not a specific card

anyway SMODS.add_card{ key = "j_modprefix_key"}

[glass scaffold]

Works

[ocean goblet]

is there a visual studio extension for steamodded?

[placid star]

theres one for lua

[hard flume]

Have custom modifier types been made possible yet or am i going to have to figure out how to do that myself?

[red flower]

i dont think so

[hard flume]

Damm

Guess I'll just wait cuz I dont think I can do it myself

[hasty mist]

modifier types?

wdym

[hard flume]

Like. Categories of modifiers

[vague crest]

bumping this

I referenced castle pretty heavily but im not sure if is_suit works with this context

[spice wadi]

Make sure that the variable you're putting in there is correct
Like add a print for it to check it's being set correctly

[cedar pendant]

If anyone here is good at modding cards and doing sprites I have a proposition if you help me make like some cards and stuff for a mod i will pay you with steam games or nitro so DM me 💀 (i have litterally no modding experience and i am too stupid to learn)

The mod itself is gonna be unbalanced chaos because I think that would be comedic

An example of a card

Im Jeong Dae (Player 100): If you have $100 gain +100 mult for each card played 1 in 100 chance to be impaled with a metal pipe and die

[chilly flax]

i'm trying to rebalance the vanilla hands for sixty suits, why is flush appearing below 5oak here?

[modern kindle]

doesnt it list them by values?
5oak is worth more than flush

i could just be wrong but that was my understanding

[red flower]

yes

[chilly flax]

huh, i thought it was just the order you put them in

thanks

[vague crest]

hm its printing false when it should it just gives the mult anyways? so it might be like setting it to true after and im not sure how id fix that

[hasty mist]

why is this happening im so confused

i cant use smods.add_card at all

[spice wadi]

Okay well firstly I meant that checking what that global value is set to us important
Secondly isnt it setting your Boolean to true every time calculate runs because that's at the start?

[spice wadi]

Show the code, make sure everything is up to date

[vague crest]

ohhhh wait i see

[pale rampart]

question: how do i make a blind disable more than 1 rank?

question may be pretty dumb but im new to modding

[hasty mist]

here

just trying to open a booster pack

code mostly copied from ethereal tag in vanillaremade

i got the exact same crash earlier while trying to do something completely different

[spice wadi]

It's only been a few minutes, please be patient
Not everyone can answer or has seen every question

[pale rampart]

i'm sorry like actually

[spice wadi]

Considering that the error is appearing from cryptid maybe try disabling it and testing again

[hasty mist]

cant, my mod depends on cryptid

[spice wadi]

Actually what sorry

[pale rampart]

like that i'm sorry sorry

[spice wadi]

I'm guessing cryptid messes with the create card function and you should look at cryptids code for creating boosters or wtv

[short girder]

how would i be able to reference hand size inside a config extra table?

[spice wadi]

Ah alright
Yeah no worries, I hope you get an answer that helps
I'm guessing learning about how boss blinds work and how cards are debuffed in general would be useful

[pale rampart]

yeah im tryna make a boss blind that only disables even cards

[spice wadi]

Can you explain what you mean please? Like do you want to change the hand size?

[short girder]

no! i wanna set a variable to be the hand size

[red flower]

try using create_card instead

[spice wadi]

Can't you just use the variable for the hand size in your code instead

[hasty mist]

same crash

[chrome widget]

Hmm, how can I force a card to draw above a specific cardarea

[short girder]

i am! but i can't reference it in the description

[spice wadi]

Yeah you can you just have to pass it into loc_vars like any other variable

[short girder]

oh okay then!!

[vague crest]

ok this is driving me crazy lowkey it just never triggers now?

[red flower]

local variables are not kept between calculate calls

[chrome widget]

Okay wait, the question here is "how to ensure cards draw below specific other cards"

Hmmmmm

[vague crest]

would i want to just have this be a main variable then?

[normal crest]

put the variable in your joker's config

[vague crest]

gotcha gotcha

ok got it working 🙏 dont know how i confused myself like this im thinkin i need more sleepy

sleep

thank you all

[cedar pendant]

[sour garden]

                if icard:get_id() == card.ability.extra.currentrank then```
why does this code result in the error "attempt to index local 'c' (a number value)"

[short girder]

how do i reference the hand size in loc_vars while avoiding this error

[sturdy compass]

Check if G.hand exists first

If it does then carry out what you're doing, if not then rely on a fallback value

[red flower]

the first value is the index, the second is the card

[sour garden]

[daring fern]

‎

[sturdy compass]

[granite nymph]

can someone tell me how to fix the text at the bottom

[daring fern]

Yes.

[granite nymph]

DUDE

oh yerah

i already asked this

nvm

[pale rampart]

unrelated but what do those stud texture cards do (i believe they are different from the normal ones)

[granite nymph]

+5 chips when played and -10 when discarded

as you could guess ti is not working

[red flower]

can i see the booster definition

[granite nymph]

im pretty sure the issue was that i didn't havea loc.txt file

[red flower]

ok, but that's not what i asked lol

[short girder]

when putting G.hand, the game doesn't freak out
it's when putting G.hand.config.card_limit that the game freaks out

[hasty mist]

i think this is somehow depleting my consumable slots

[sturdy compass]

Right, so if you check to see if G.hand exists before trying to index it, you'll have a failsafe

[granite nymph]

where do i define my localization text?

[lament agate]

can you actually register a keybind in a code?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/tree/main/localization

[red flower]

yes SMODS.Keybind

[lament agate]

like

i want so that whenever this got triggered

it presses it

[granite nymph]

no but

i have that but its not working

[red flower]

well if you dont show me the code i cant do anything

[red flower]

wdym

[short girder]

what exactly do you mean? how do i check such condition?

[red flower]

if G.hand then

[sturdy compass]

Yeah

[granite nymph]

vremade's localization but vremade is replaced with my mod prefix

[daring fern]

Do you have the group_key = "Name Pack" in Localization > misc > dictionary?

[lament agate]

i want it so that if this joker got triggered, it presses the player's key (for example, Esc)

is that possible?

[red flower]

you would probably have to call one of the controller functions

doesnt sound hard but i couldn't tell you which one rn

[lament agate]

its alright

[lament agate]

hows the function typed out again

[red flower]

i mean that's what i cant tell you lol
it's one of the ones in controller.lua

[lament agate]

oh

fuck

alright then

thanks

[hasty mist]

is there a way to conditionally change a joker's description

[red flower]

does it work if you remove the group_key

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hasty mist]

for example if a specific mod is detected use one description and if not use a different one

[red flower]

return a different key in loc_vars

[hasty mist]

i tried and it did not work out very well

[daring fern]

Controller:key_press_update?

[hasty mist]

wdym

[lament agate]

thanks

[daring fern]

key = "keytoadifferentlocalizationentry"

[red flower]

return { key = condition and "j_modprefix_key_alt" or nil }

[hasty mist]

fuck i dont use localization yet

[lament agate]

mood

[red flower]

you can just make one for just this

[granite nymph]

that was the issue

thanks

[short girder]

managed to solve it without doing anything said since all i wanted was to reference current xmult in the description lmao

thanks for the help anyways :]

[granite nymph]

how do i make message = localize('som ething'), a custom text

like perse, how would i make ti say "hi" insteadf of $10 or whatever

[daring fern]

["som ething"] = "hi"

In Localization > misc > dictionary

[granite nymph]

can i do that without a localization fire

[daring fern]

No.

[short girder]

what variable checks for how many cards you are currently holding in hand?

[wild escarp]

Where is the amount of currently owned consumables stored?

[pale rampart]

good night #💻・modding-dev ill go to sleep

[daring fern]

#G.hand.cards

[red flower]

#G.consumeables.cards

[faint leaf]

im getting this error, and ive been trying to troubleshoot for too long!!!! idk what im doing!!!

[hard flume]

Hmm... Do ranks and suits have a calculate function? Or something similar? I know its like. Very niche that they'd actually need one, so im not expecting them to have it. Im just curious

[daring fern]

No.

[hard flume]

Aw man. Worth a shot. I thought maybe they'd have one that is currently uncodumented

[short girder]

is there an unlock type for cards held in hand? if no, how would i approach making a card unlock given the amount of cards held in hand?

[granite nymph]

does the "key = 'a_mult'" in messages matter?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[granite nymph]

and if it does waht are the options for those

[hasty mist]

attempting this horrible idea yet again, why dont the pool change functions here work?

[granite nymph]

why is everything in dictionary

[daring fern]

SMODS.remove_pool takes a key, not a number.

[hasty mist]

the number is the rarity

im trying to remove the joker from the uncommon rarity pool and add it to the common rarity pool

[daring fern]

Yes, you are inputting i into SMODS.remove_pool when you should be inputting v.key

[hasty mist]

ah

[vocal bramble]

I'm working on a blueprint-like card that copies the jokers to the left and right of it, but funneling both the blueprint effects through SMODS.merge_effects() doesn't seem to be working. It's only returning the effects of ret1 instead of both ret1 and ret2

[hasty mist]

alright so this happened after a few tries

it worked for a bit but then ran into this

[granite nymph]

it wont add 10 chips when scored

[daring fern]

Code?

[hasty mist]

this is everything so far

[daring fern]

Also, you can remove the loops and just input center.key

[hasty mist]

wdym

[daring fern]

SMODS.remove_pool(pool, center.key)

[granite nymph]

bump

[hasty mist]

so something like this?

[granite nymph]

also im sorry for asking here so much

[daring fern]

Remove break end end and , v

[hasty mist]

alright

[granite nymph]

bump

[hasty mist]

I'm still getting this crash after like 5-10 rerolls

[daring fern]

You are inputting card.ability.extra.current into one of the functions.

[hasty mist]

i dont understand, is that not what im supposed to do?

its supposed to be setting card.ability.extra.current to the key of a random joker, then targeting that joker, and changing its rarity to common

[hasty mist]

oh i see

i did not catch that

[short girder]

time to bring this up again!!!

[granite nymph]

bump

[hasty mist]

oh awesome it works

[granite nymph]

currently the played hand function plus the sound dont work

[hasty mist]

massively shortened the code

[granite nymph]

i want to sleeeeeeeep

[hasty mist]

now, my current challenge is to keep track of each modified joker's original rarity, and set every joker back to their original rarity when a new game is started in a Game.start_run hook, which i already have here, How would i incorporate this into the joker's code?

[granite nymph]

please man i’m so tired

please

[short girder]

does anyone know the variable for the starting hand size?

[granite nymph]

theres no one helpful online right now unfortunetly

[tall wharf]

you didn't return the chips value

you only returned the message

if you just want chips

the message is not needed

[pure salmon]

try G.GAME.starting_params.hand_size

[granite nymph]

how would i do that exactly? i tried putting the card.ability.bonus = card.ability.bonus + 10 in the return and it doesnt work

[lament agate]

did i do something wrong

[daring fern]

What object is this code from?

[tall wharf]

do you see the return { message = ... thingy

[lament agate]

DNA

[tall wharf]

you don't need the message

[daring fern]

Also it's context.starting_shop

[lament agate]

oh

[tall wharf]

you just return the chips value you want to add

like

return {
chips = 5019839193
}

[daring fern]

No, I'm referring to the object you're using it for.

[short girder]

YOUR A LAIFE SAVOR....

[pure salmon]

YOUR WELCOME

[granite nymph]

what im trying to do is add +10 to the chips when it scores

[tall wharf]

so

you want to add it

before scoring

i'd say use before to add numbers

also i'd say create a separate ability table but if it works it works

[lament agate]

oh its for a joker that copies all played cards if its the first hand of the round

[hasty mist]

attempting to somehow restore modified rarities here back to their defaults when a new run is started, how would i accomplish that?

currently they stay as the modified rarities until you close your game

my idea would be to somehow add each modified joker to a table, storing their original rarities, calling that table when a new run is started, and changing each joker in the table to match their original rarities

but that is way beyond my expertise

[granite nymph]

still doesnt work :I

[tall wharf]

also just for cleanliness you should format the code so it's a bit easier to read

[granite nymph]

current issue: chips arent adding and sounds arebt playing

[daring fern]

Why do you have a calculate function inside your calculate function?

[granite nymph]

im not sure how to define the end of the first calculate function

IT WORKS

nevermind why are the extra chips there

why are tyhey there??

[thorn furnace]

How would I go about adding a button next to the Discard button

[brittle tide]

this code only works for scored cards does anyone know how to make it work for every played card

[granite nymph]

i never added extra chips into the description anywhere

WHY IS IT THER
E

bnm ghjyvtu6j7

[daring fern]

context.full_hand not context.scoring_hand

[brittle tide]

thank you

[vocal bramble]

Just gonna bump this if anyone can help

[granite nymph]

does anyone know how tyo fix this

its 12:12 am and im not going to sleep until tis done

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

Try putting all the variables in extra = {}

[granite nymph]

by that do yoyu mean

replacing bonus with extra>

[daring fern]

No, config = {extra = {...}} instead of config = {...}

[vocal bramble]

I think they mean instead of config = { your_vars } it'd be config = { extra = { your_vars } }

[tepid crow]

I'd suggest trying to print out ret1 and ret2 and seeing if they work properly. If they do, then print out the merge and see if that looks good, etc etc

[vocal bramble]

(and then you'd be calling card.ability.extra.your_var instead of card.ability.your_var)

[granite nymph]

that did not work

[daring fern]

Code?

[vocal bramble]

I did not see your other message whoopsie

[hasty mist]

how do you get the current amout of money you have

[daring fern]

G.GAME.dollars

[hasty mist]

tyty

how do i track the amount of money spent in a run?

[daring fern]

You would probably have to hook ease_dollars

[granite nymph]

do you see whats wrong with my code?

[daring fern]

You need to change things to be card.ability.extra.bonus instead of card.ability.bonus

[granite nymph]

tried to index feild extra (a number value

:'(

[daring fern]

Change extra = 30 to bonus = 30

[granite nymph]

still broken

[daring fern]

Code?

[feral tree]

How would i get a joker to detect when a card is bought and duplicate it? know context.buying_card is the key but not sure how to set SMODS.add_card to add the newly bought card

[daring fern]

context.buying_card is not the key?

[daring fern]

No, put the extra table back.

[granite nymph]

it works

[feral tree]

don't know how identify the detected bought card so i can use add_card to duplicate it, i know i use context.buying_card

[daring fern]

Firstly, you don't use SMODS.add_card, Secondly, you use context.card to get the card.

Thirdly, you use copy_card to copy the card.

[feral tree]

thanks

[weak mulch]

yall what do i use to make my first mod

[daring fern]

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

[vocal bramble]

Did what you suggested and I think SMODS.merge_effects() has a weird quirk where if the first arg is nil it'll make the whole thing return nil.

I remedied that by only returning ret1 if ret2 doesn't exist (and vice versa) and the merge effects function if they both exist.

Thanks for pushing me in the right direction!

[rapid stag]

should raise that in #1209564621644505158 that doesn't seem intentional. i think merge_effects should just ignore nils

[tepid crow]

That is very weird behavior. Nice job in figuring it out though! I second nope's comment

[daring fern]

‎

[hasty mist]

how would i go about adding a joker and it's rarity together in a table?

[fallow breach]

trying to make a card like this

i should be able to combine parts of swashbuckler and gift card to make it work but i cannot figure it out

[daring fern]

if context.selling_card and context.card.ability.set == "Joker" then
    card.ability.extra_value = (card.ability.extra_value or 0) + context.card.sell_cost
    card:set_cost()
end
```?

[fallow breach]

doesn't context.selling_card also account for consumables as well

[daring fern]

Yes.

[fallow breach]

it does not seem to be working

what do i need to have in config and under loc_vars?

[daring fern]

Nothing.

[feral tree]

Whats the key for making sure the bought card is a joker?

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

context.card.ability.set == "Joker"

[feral tree]

thanks

[daring fern]

This goes in calculate

[fallow breach]

oh yeaah

i had copied from another joker so i left it under calc_dollar_bonus

my bad 😅

sweet it works thanks man

[fallow breach]

another question, how would i set a pool flag that involves me just owning a specific joker

for example, if i have a joker that i only want to appear while i own this other joker

[daring fern]

in_pool = function(self) if next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) then return true else return false end end

[fallow breach]

i assume the mod key (in the atlas) and the joker key goes in for "j_modprefix_key"

[daring fern]

No, the mod prefix would be your mod prefix.

[umbral zodiac]

is there a way to check if another mod is installed on mod load if that mod has a higher priority

[daring fern]

Yes.

[umbral zodiac]

how

[daring fern]

if next(SMODS.find_mod("modid"))?

[umbral zodiac]

oh right lmao i was overcomplicating it

[hasty mist]

relatable

[sturdy compass]

Quite relatable

[formal quest]

I'm making a Joker called Gambler's Fallacy that doubles listed probabilities every time one fails. I have no idea for the art though. Anyone have ideas on what I could make for it?

[umbral zodiac]

oa6 dice but splitting in half multiple times into smaller dice Maybe I Dont Know

[formal quest]

I like the idea

[hasty mist]

How would i modify this line of code to also include and associate the joker's rarity to it's key in the table?

can i do G.GAME.modified_rarities[card.ability.extra.current, G.P_CENTERS[card.ability.extra.current].rarity] = true?

[daring heron]

how hard is it to create a custom challange?

it's a pretty simple one, i just want the player to start with an ethernal pinned joker

[flat mist]

If some body is willing to make a new mod pack I have ideas with really cool mechanics (I don't know to code).

I have almost 20 written ideas for joker and 7 spectral cards

[daring heron]

first time creating a custom challange, it's not crashing, but it wont show up either

[tall wharf]

:3

are you sure the file is loaded

[daring heron]

i think so

looking at cryptid for reference but the code there looks way different

[flat mist]

These are the ideas

If anyone interested please contact I just wanted to play with these joker.

[daring heron]

why isnt it showing up?

i'm just confused now

[hasty mist]

what is wrong here?

i initialized the table, why wont it add to it

[royal ridge]

G.GAME.modified_rarities[card.ability.extra.current] doesn't exist yet

[hasty mist]

it should, i initialized the table, im trying to add card.ability.extra.current to the table

[royal ridge]

line of code there is trying to index it

like the first table exists

but the second table does not

[hasty mist]

oh i see

im trying to nest tables

[royal ridge]

ye

[hasty mist]

so i need to initialize both individually?

[royal ridge]

seems like it

shame lua doesn't just create those tables by itself, but there's probably a good reason to

[hasty mist]

yeah

oh my fucking god

so

is it possible to automatically initialize every table inside a certain table

because

im trying to be able to iterate through the table when reopening a run after exiting and reentering the whole game

and obviously i cant manually initialize every single subtable

[royal ridge]

is card.ability.extra.current a string

[hasty mist]

yeah

[royal ridge]

local table = G.GAME.modified_rarities
for k, v in pairs(table) do
  local center = G.P_CENTERS[k]
  local rarity = center.rarity
  SMODS.remove_pool(G.P_JOKER_RARITY_POOLS[rarity], center.key)
  SMODS.insert_pool(G.P_JOKER_RARITY_POOLS[1], center, true)
end

i honestly don't know exactly what the original code is doing but i think this is more sensible considering the structure?

[hasty mist]

essentially, i'm targeting a random joker in the collection, setting it's rarity to common, and adding it to a table, so that when i continue a run, it reads from the table and applies common to every joker in the table

since without any of the table and game.start_run stuff, each joker's rarity just reverts back to the original if you close and reopen the game

this is beginning to be my most complicated joker 😭

[royal ridge]

ok yeah based on the logic i'm seeing, that code probably works

[hasty mist]

i also need to make it revert each joker back to its original rarity when a new run is started, but that comes later

okay it does not seem to be working

[royal ridge]

i assume new run would just be the reverse logic with the saved rarity

[hasty mist]

no crash, but it's not applying common when continuing a run

[crisp coral]

#1 for loop hater
looks inside
for loop

[royal ridge]

start run hook doesn't seem to be modifying center

[hasty mist]

sometimes we must do things we hate

[crisp coral]

can you check if args.savetext gets nil'd in the original func

[lament agate]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if type(context) ~= "table" then return nil end
        if context.first_hand_drawn then
            local eval = function() 
                return G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 and not G.RESET_JIGGLES 
            end
            juice_card_until(card, eval, true)

            if context.full_hand > 0 then
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        for _, original_card in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
                            local copy_card = copy_card(original_card, nil, nil, G.playing_card)
                            copy_card:add_to_deck()
                            G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
                            table.insert(G.playing_cards, copy_card)
                            G.hand:emplace(copy_card)
                            copy_card.states.visible = nil
                            
                            copy_card:start_materialize()
                        end
                        return true
                    end
                }))
                
                return {
                    message = localize('k_copied_ex'),
                    colour = G.C.PURPLE,
                    card = card
                }
            end
        end

        if context.starting_shop and G.CONTROLLER then
            return {
                func = function()
                    if G.CONTROLLER.key_press_update then
                        G.CONTROLLER:key_press_update("escape", true)
                        G.CONTROLLER:key_press_update("escape", false)
                    end
                end
            }
        end
    end,
}

why does the game keep saying

that the context

is a boolean

[royal ridge]

local i = 0; repeat i = i + 1; print('hi') until i = 20

[hasty mist]

could you elaborate

[royal ridge]

i keep forgetting repeat exists

[royal ridge]

add a G.P_CENTERS[k].rarity = 1

like the og code

[hasty mist]

oh i see

i overlooked that

YES okay it works

oh my god

thank you

[royal ridge]

honestly there could have probably been a function to avoid typing it twice but it's only twice

three times is too much

gg

[hasty mist]

yeah

[crisp coral]

thrice because you revert it

so gg

[hasty mist]

alright now i need to reset everything back to normal on run start

im assuming i wont be able to read from that table anymore

since its a new run

no that would be too easy

so of course i couldnt

[royal ridge]

oh right that's a small problem

[hasty mist]

friend of mine wrote this a while ago for a more primitive version of the joker idea

one issue though

i understand none of it

it also doesnt work

[royal ridge]

missing savetext check

[hasty mist]

because it doesnt use smods.remove_pool and smods.insert_pool

but i wouldnt even know how to rewrite it to work for that

i want to rewrite it from scratch but i wouldnt even know where to start

[royal ridge]

i mean like

i believe you just save the modified rarity to G.P_CENTERS[key].old_rarity

instead of the G.GAME table

since you don't even use it there

[crisp coral]

this doesn't work because centers get wiped on reload

[royal ridge]

uh

if it reloads then the rarities are fine already

[hasty mist]

yeah

[crisp coral]

oh is it for resetting

[hasty mist]

i already wrote the logic for old runs

[crisp coral]

yeah it would work

[hasty mist]

so like

just this = true or

do i need something extra

[crisp coral]

= rarity

[hasty mist]

well this is back in the joker code, not the hook

[royal ridge]

G.GAME.modified_rarities[card.ability.extra.current][G.P_CENTERS[card.ability.extra.current].rarity] = true

into

G.GAME.modified_rarities[card.ability.extra.current] = 1
G.P_CENTERS[card.ability.extra.current].old_rarity = G.P_CENTERS[card.ability.extra.current].rarity

[hasty mist]

huh

wouldnt this mess up the run reentry code

[royal ridge]

i don't believe so?

nothing even checks for the specific rarity being true, only for the table

[hasty mist]

alright does this look alright

[royal ridge]

yeah i suppose

[hasty mist]

okayy thank you

now

i need to figure out the gsr hook logic

[royal ridge]

then wherever you want to, you just loop through g.p_centers and set rarities back to normal

[midnight hornet]

when developing a mod I frequently restart balatro app. But then I'd like to jump back automatically to the game I was playing skipping the intro animation and the press of the play button. is there a way to achieve that?

[languid canopy]

hi, what's the context for selling a consumable and using a consumable ?

[hasty mist]

how would i make this use the smods functions for table removal and adding

[frigid cargo]

im not very smart but why does tarot merchant have 2.4 rate in vremade? i understand its to make the weight 9.6, but why 9.6 and not 8? doesnt the voucher make the tarot card appear 2x more often?

[molten musk]

morning guys

[frigid cargo]

morning

[molten musk]

took a rest from coding for 2 days

now im back

[frigid cargo]

real

[molten musk]

coding everyday is tiring after all

[frigid cargo]

lol REAL

[flat mist]

If some body is willing to make a new mod pack I have ideas with really cool mechanics (I don't know to code).I have almost 20 written ideas for joker and 7 spectral cards

[hasty mist]

bump

[royal ridge]

keep the loop and the check

check for if not args.savetext or you can put it in an else in the other hook

then just do what you did to set rarity to common but in reverse

local center = G.P_CENTERS[k]
local rarity = center.rarity
local old_rarity = center.old_rarity
SMODS.remove_pool(G.P_JOKER_RARITY_POOLS[rarity], center.key)
SMODS.insert_pool(G.P_JOKER_RARITY_POOLS[old_rarity], center, true)
G.P_CENTERS[k].rarity = old_rarity
G.P_CENTERS[k].old_rarity = nil

[hasty mist]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[royal ridge]

third time atp

this could totally be a function but whatever

[hasty mist]

alright so

[hasty mist]

you meant like this right

loop and check

[royal ridge]

yes

uh

remove that center definition and replace that last line with center.rarity = old_rarity

didn't realise loop already did it

also that old_rarity check doesn't have an underscore

[hasty mist]

oh yeah

alrighty

[royal ridge]

um

[hasty mist]

oh

fuck

forgot one

two

once fixing those two underscores, is everything good now

[royal ridge]

no i meant add underscores since the original definition presumably uses one

unless that was changed

[hasty mist]

it does not

[royal ridge]

alr

[lament agate]

crash said that its trying to get the length of the full_hand

any ydea

[royal ridge]

what context is that triggering in

[molten musk]

so i want to add seals to a table from the deck, which succeeded, now i wanted to choose a random seal from that deck which is not working

[royal ridge]

that is a local table

save it to the card

so like

card.found_seal = {}
local found_seal = card.found_seal

but in reality you'd probably want to do that in the calculate anyway

doing it in loc_vars is incredibly strange

[molten musk]

trust me, i have no fucking clue what im doing lol
just going with whatever i think best lol

my very first time doing lua
my very first time modding a game

[royal ridge]

ok but which context is that triggering in

lol

[royal ridge]

context.first_hand_drawn does not have context.full_hand

[lament agate]

oh fuck

what should i do then

this acts like DNA but for all played cards

[royal ridge]

uhhh

that entire code is running on first hand drawn

[lament agate]

right

[royal ridge]

add a separate check for context.before

that's where dna runs

keep the juice stuff in first hand drawn though

[lament agate]

so ill just replace the full_hand

?

if context.before and context.main_eval and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 and #context.full_hand == 1 then

[royal ridge]

idk what main eval is but that's the check dna uses, yeah

i assume you wanna have that because steamodded moment

[lament agate]

fixed

thanks

well now it doesnt copy the card

the crash is gone tho

[royal ridge]

what does it look like

[lament agate]

the code?

[royal ridge]

ye

[lament agate]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.first_hand_drawn then
            local eval = function()

you kept #context.full_hand == 1 lol

[lament agate]

fuck

i thought i needed them

so i just remove it?

[royal ridge]

yeah

makes it only trigger when full hand has 1 card

[lament agate]

still doesnt copy the cards tho, i removed the full hand

[royal ridge]

wait

it's still in context.first_hand_drawn my guy

get it out 😭

[lament agate]

whuh

oh my god

[royal ridge]

also the only thing that should be in the event is the materialise

[scenic elm]

Hi y'all. I'm trying to wrap my head around when i need to use the talisman to_big() method and when i don't need to use it. Are there any general rule of thumbs for when to use it?

[molten musk]

i made it choose but it does that whenever i do any action

[royal ridge]

from what i remember basic number comparisons are fine, but dollars, poker hand levels, some other thing i forgot, those need to be wrapped

[lament agate]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.main_eval and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
                func = function()
                    for _, original_card in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
                        local copy_card = copy_card(original_card, nil, nil, G.playing_card)
                        copy_card:add_to_deck()
                        G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
                        table.insert(G.playing_cards, copy_card)
                        G.hand:emplace(copy_card)
                        copy_card.states.visible = nil
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                            copy_card:start_materialize()
                        end
                        return true
                    end
                }))
                
                if context.first_hand_drawn then
                    local eval = function() 
                        return G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 and not G.RESET_JIGGLES 
                    end
                    juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
                end
                return {
                    message = localize('k_copied_ex'),
                    colour = G.C.PURPLE,
                    card = card
                }
            end
        end

cool?

[royal ridge]

those are separate contexts 😭

keep them separate

[molten musk]

and for some reason if i do if context. ... then context doesnt define

[royal ridge]

oh and the event is weird

[lament agate]

oh word?

[royal ridge]

wrap the whole thing in

if context.ending_shop then
(code here)
end

[molten musk]

ok ^^

[spice wadi]

First line of calculate
You put the wrong arguments in the function

Those are the arguments for loc_vars

[royal ridge]

oh yeah you're right

[molten musk]

it was loc_vars at first
