[jagged zodiac]

yay

maybe I should put the extra bar above the joker instead of below the lucky

[sullen brook]

You also swapped your k and c

Also, that looks like a fun function of that joker. Nice work

[jagged zodiac]

oop

[jagged zodiac]

thanks

[sullen brook]

NP, happens to the best of us

[native zinc]

IPA name is pretty cool

[pearl jacinth]

what is the function to draw a card from the deck

if it even exists

[red flower]

SMODS.draw_cards(number)

[flat mist]

is this not the right way to make a function

[jagged zodiac]

done

[plucky zenith]

Can jokers have animation? This seems to work, but when I uncomment the atlas_table and frames lines, the game crashes when the joker is displayed, saying it tried to access atlas that was nil.

SMODS.Atlas({
    key = "roulette",
    path = "j_roulette.png",
    -- atlas_table = 'ANIMATION_ATLAS',
    -- frames = 2,
    px = 71,
    py = 95
})

[red flower]

no, you cant put that in the middle of a table

[red flower]

not this way

you need to update the sprite position manually

[flat mist]

where i have to put it

[red flower]

inside a function

<@&1133519078540185692>

[flat mist]

ok

[plucky zenith]

Thanks - I'll go dig how to get a delay set up so I can go back and forth between the two images to simulate "spinning"

[faint yacht]

Use Aura or have a look at how I pull it off with one of mine.

[native zinc]

SMODS.draw_cards(#G.deck)

well it should be .cards i think

i for got

wait no im correct

its G.hand.cards

[thorn furnace]

#⚙・modding-general message
Putting both of these together with a double bump

[plucky zenith]

Thanks! I was trying to do something similar in the calculate function - with the idea being that when the hand is about to be calculated the roulette wheel spins and a card value is chosen. It doesn't seem to work, but I'll look at the update function you're using

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if card.debuff then return nil end
        if context.before then
            logger = adc_get_logger()
            logger.log( "::CARD::" )
            logger.log( card )

            for i=0,100 do
                logger.log(i%2)
                card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({ x = i%2, y = 0 })
                -- if love.timer then
                --     love.timer.sleep(0.1)
                -- end
            end
        end
    end,

[red flower]

looks hard

i need to do something like that for my mod next but still havent looked into it

[humble matrix]

Seems like someone forgot the ,

[flat mist]

yes i find out that after seeing error screen for more then 10 times

[vast bough]

are there any jokers that can only spawn with a certain sticker so i can have a look at how they do it. i can see small cube in cryptid but are there any others

wait nvm i got it

[jagged zodiac]

not fully happy with the art, it's a bit too empty, but it'll work for now :v

[long sun]

how can i make a card as large as a booster pack?

[jagged zodiac]

you can seemingly make them smaller by just making the image smaller, so maybe simply making a larger image works??

[long sun]

but

wait sorry i don't know what you meant ^^; do you mean something in the atlas?

[jagged zodiac]

well, I accidentally put in a 90x71 image instead of 95x71
and it just was smaller

so, in the directory Atlas reads the images from

[long sun]

ya it'd be smaller if the image was smaller

but this is the same size as the base game spritesheet

[jagged zodiac]

ah

I don't know then :v

[jagged zodiac]

oop the Lucky 7 corners are wrong :v

[spare ocean]

how do i mod? im new

[long sun]

i love how this shop is completely modded dfkjgndfjkg

[jagged zodiac]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CdaHAP1sCw

[jagged zodiac]

buffoon pack and standard pack >:(

[spare ocean]

a thanks

[jagged zodiac]

also if someone else knows a better first guide but this is what I used

[dark quartz]

in the description, what colour are ranks usually?

[jagged zodiac]

C:attention I think

[long sun]

i love how this shop is COMPLETELY modded

[jagged zodiac]

oh

[jagged zodiac]

they all have their own colour it seem
C:spades and the such

[thorn furnace]

I figured it wouldn't be too bad but I can't figure out like 50% of it
Also i have no idea how cardareas work

[jagged zodiac]

is this all a mod you're making?

[long sun]

most of it is!

there's a charm from Bakery and an Arts and Crafts pack from ArtBox

but otherwise, all me :3

[jagged zodiac]

I see I see

mine just has 15 jokers :v

[long sun]

that's decent going!!

dw about how much content your mod may have

overall, it's the quality of the content that really matters :D

[jagged zodiac]

oh, I wanted it to be low-impact

kinda like a vanilla+ mod

[long sun]

fairfair!

[jagged zodiac]

with jokers that I could see existing in vanilla

[jagged zodiac]

what's the minecraft axe do?

[granite nymph]

the prefix for booster packs are p_ correct?

[granite nymph]

i recognize those zodiac colors

thats not a normal rainbow

[long sun]

Copper Grate cards do not oxidise, and this Joker deoxidises them when they are played and scored

[granite nymph]

also what mod is that

[long sun]

[jagged zodiac]

I see I see

[cursive sentinel]

hi quick question, looked at clearance/liquidation code and wondered if there was a way to change G.GAME.discount_percent by selling a joker w/o it being "reset" by said vouchers? i can see how to do it if the joker's owned, but not sure if there's a way with a sold joker

[pale rampart]

MY STUPID JOKER FINALLY WORKS (it adds 5 mult for every 2 played)

[pure salmon]

you could always patch clearance/liquidation

[long sun]

how can i set the mouse damping of my consumable?

[cursive sentinel]

thought of it, but risky for mod compat no?

i think i may do that in the end though

[pure salmon]

it only breaks compat if another mod patches that exact line and makes a different change

if anyone here is familiar with pools could i make a seperate blind pool that has a chance to override the regular boss blind pool at the start of an ante, and if you skip the blind another one from the pool appears? exactly like the showdown pool that appears on the final ante

[pale rampart]

question: how do i change the "nil" to its actual mult value

[red flower]

do you have a loc_vars function

[pale rampart]

no, never thought of that

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#loc_vars

[pure salmon]

hm, i can't find the blind spawning code in the lovely dumps

[long sun]

_ _

[long sun]

hehe sorry to promote! but you may be interested in my BFDI mod: https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1337836888181968927

[pale rampart]

holy crap beefy die balatro real

[pure salmon]

oh THANKS balatro. i was looking for POOL but it's just P.BLINDS

thunk cannot spell for shit

[red flower]

i mean is the same for the rest

like P_CENTERS

[pure salmon]

it's whatever, i found the function i was looking for

gulp

this is going to take a lot of reverse engineering

[red flower]

what are you trying to do?

[pure salmon]

create a new boss blind pool that sometimes spawns in place of the standard boss blind pool

i want a seperate pool, so that if you reroll it generates another in the pool and not a standard boss blind

[red flower]

oh you can probably just swap eligible_bosses at the end then

[pure salmon]

get_new_blind also handles the logic for bosses_used though

[pale rampart]

balatro modding is super fun yo

[red flower]

yeah

i wouldnt put stuff in that function tho is what i mean

i would copy it and just swap the table at the end

[pure salmon]

you think?

still a patch or a hook?

[red flower]

a hook would work

[pale rampart]

yeah it was that thank you N'

i have only made this 3 fellas for now, i'm very proud of myself

[wintry wren]

where would be the best place to start for making a balatro mod?
ive not got much experience with lua and developing game mods as a whole.
is there any decent tutorials that walk me through the full process or do i just need to wing it lmao

[pale rampart]

i believe the smod wiki itself is a very good tutorial

[red flower]

probably the best resources we have rn https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349064230825103441

[wintry wren]

alright, ill give it a look thanks

[wintry wren]

this too

[pure salmon]

if i do the swap right here, i can run my own in_pool checks on the shattered blinds and the bosses_used functionality is handled by the rest of the function, right?

[red flower]

yeah

[granite nymph]

wee joker

[pale rampart]

glorified wee joker indeed (im nerfing the added mult to 1)

was doing a run to test my jokers then this bastard appeared on the shop

very good to see how it behaves with my jokers tbh

[midnight coyote]

how would i change jokers that appear in the shop

[jagged zodiac]

yay

[cursive sentinel]

can a patch overwrite code stuff?

[rotund sable]

it can but it doesn't have to

i assume by "code stuff" you mean balatro source code

[cursive sentinel]

yeah

looking to have a joker effect to either double or halve all prices when sold

i can see how to do it when joker is owned

but when sold, the way i originally thought to do it would make it go nil if player buys a voucher after

[rotund sable]

if context.selling_self ?

[cursive sentinel]

cuz it's just G.GAME.discount_percent = extra

[cursive sentinel]

not the issue

the problem isn't how to do it

it's about how price reduction is done

[small tartan]

Making progress, ignore moons and stars from six_suits, i'm using that mod as placeholder for debugging

Do you think staves is okay? Since club is already taken

[midnight hornet]

ive added voice to my simple bot mod (LLM use qwen3-32b, voice with local docker travisvn/openai-edge-tts). (Long final pause due to API limit for free tier). Does anyone have experience in Balatro bot dev? ive a few questions.

[midnight hornet]

are those italian cards?

[small tartan]

Yup

[cursive sentinel]

could i add a line to self.cost = math.max(1, math.floor((self.base_cost + self.extra_cost + 0.5)*(100-G.GAME.discount_percent)/100)) before the /100 that would be basically a * VALUE, with Value being 1 at first, but being modifiable by my jokers?

like, inserting a global in card.lua that doesn't exist yet? Sorry if the answer seems obvious

[granite nymph]

tyler the creator reference??

[midnight hornet]

cool, piacentine are my favorite ones

[small tartan]

Yeah piacentine are nice, they keep that retro look

[midnight hornet]

nlg it's a bit strange to see 8 9 and 10 for those cards. due to the fact that they do not have number is not so easy maybe to play straights

[small tartan]

They are placeholder ^^ they'll have different ranks

Like knight instead of queen

[midnight hornet]

ahah, I see...

[lament agate]

can you actually check the price of the jokers in shop?

[red flower]

yeah, loop through G.shop_jokers and check card.cost

[lament agate]

thanks

[fallow breach]

noo is that a grayscale joker

i thought my idea was original 😭

[jagged zodiac]

Moderate Joker

I might add some brown though

common, 4 dollars, +1 joker slot

[lament agate]

whats the context for exiting a shop again

[fallow breach]

isn't that just a better golden jonkler

[jagged zodiac]

no

it doesn't give 4 dollars

it costs 4 dollars

+1 joker slot is the effect

[fallow breach]

oh i see

[cursive sentinel]

where's Game:init() in?

[fallow breach]

so it's just like a blank slate for stuff like wheel procs or sell value scaling

pretty interesting

[red flower]

ending_shop iirc

[lament agate]

got it

[lament agate]

tried this, doesnt work

[red flower]

because its not setting_shop

[lament agate]

entering_shop?

[red flower]

starting

[lament agate]

oh

im so dumb

hold on

[small tartan]

Guys my custom suit cards generate in all decks

How to avoid this?

[lament agate]

everything else is okay right

[red flower]

there's a part in the docs for that

[small tartan]

Brb

[red flower]

idk what uncosted is but sure

[lament agate]

thanks

it works now

[normal crest]

in your suit make an in_pool function

If you never want it to generate, return always false

[hard flume]

How do I remove a modded sticker from a card?

Is SMODS.remove_sticker a thing?

[small tartan]

I found the culprit, it's how it's implemented in six suits, which i referenced

[normal crest]

SMODS.Stickers.prefix_key:apply(card, false) should work, there probably is a better way that I don't remember tho

[lament agate]

whats the context for detecting if cards were destroyed

[hard flume]

How would I prevent a card with a certain sticker from being destroyed?

Or more in general. How would I prevent a card from being destroyed?

[red flower]

which type of card
but in general this is hard to do because effects just hardcheck for eternal right now
you can hook Card:remove / start_dissolve / shatter maybe

there's a new context to prevent destruction of jokers tho

[long sun]

am bored. lmk if you want me to work on your mod

[granite nymph]

does anyonr know wh the souinds arent working?

[daring fern]

‎

[hallow slate]

How would I make it so my Joker displays a list of variables in loc_vars?

[daring fern]

Move the sound out of play_sound

Also it's context.cardarea

[daring fern]

Also you need your mod prefix.

[granite nymph]

so yip_error?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[small tartan]

Are these icons recognizable as sword, coin/gold, club, cup? (as mini deck info icons)

[red flower]

yeah

[thorn furnace]

Just as a half bump to get one thing done at a time
How do I make it so you can highlight things in the cardarea

[hard flume]

why isnt this working btw

[red flower]

there's a highlight_limit argument in the cardarea init

[sullen brook]

With context, yes. Will the player have context for them when they first see them? If so, coin could be misconstrued as many things.

If not, rather.

[small tartan]

Yeah i Will color them, and should be there

[shell timber]

maybe put a small notch in the middle of the coin like a Mario coin

other than that they look good

[small tartan]

Yup, with colors should be there, i was Just asking for the overall shape

[shell timber]

yeah the shape is coiny

[sullen brook]

With colors, should be fine. Even in silhouette, you could do a bit of a glint in the dark bit to show it's something shiny and valuable.

[small tartan]

Thanks guys ^^

Much love

[daring fern]

Card:apply_sticker doesn't exist.

[rotund sable]

in the calc_function in JokerDisplay definition do i have to calculate hand_chips by myself (to display the effects of a joker relaying on that while having the hand selected and not played yet)

[hard flume]

What does exist, then, cuz ive tried multiple methods

[faint leaf]

hi guys ummm im working on a joker and i need it to find cards with the glass enhancement how do i check for glass

thanks

[daring fern]

SMODS.Stickers["modprefix_key"]:apply(card, true)

[solid grotto]

Why did this even happen if my code is commented out?

Is this lua jank or something

[hard flume]

Tried that, it doesn't work still

[solid grotto]

It was crashing at first so I commented out all of the code just to go in and test jokers normally

And it does this

Oh wait I have 78 cards, it just added the two suits

Oops

[thorn furnace]

I have it set to 5 but it doesn't let me do anything with it

[red flower]

i think it also depends on the cardarea type

[hard flume]

The correct way. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the if statements, because its not crashing. It's just not doing anything

[thorn furnace]

O
I didnt quite get that part when i saw it
How do u make it do playing cards

[small tartan]

Coin should be done

[daring fern]

Yes, context.main_scoring isn't called on jokers.

[red flower]

G.hand is type = 'hand'

[thorn furnace]

Thanks

[small tartan]

Comment means comment, as in you could write whatever and code doesnt run/compile

[solid grotto]

I realized my mistake

[hard flume]

Oh

[solid grotto]

Didn't realize that with extra suits it creates two pages for the deck

[small tartan]

Yeah, same mistake i made before xd

[solid grotto]

Question though, if I create new suits how do I stop them from appearing in normal decks immediately
I'd like for them to only be available through tarot cards / a deck that specifically starts you with them

[small tartan]

in_pool arg. as false

[solid grotto]

Thx

[rotund sable]

Bump

[granite nymph]

how would i go about making a joker not appear in the shop or through any cards (riff raff, judgement, etc)

[daring fern]

in_pool = function(self) return false end?

[granite nymph]

would that go at the top around config and atlas

[daring fern]

It would go anywhere in the joker definition.

[hallow slate]

How would I make a dynamic description that shows a list of values if said values are above 0? e.g. mult/chips

[red flower]

can you elaborate

[hallow slate]

I have a Joker that gets bonuses. If it has a mult bonus, it shows a +X mult thing. Otherwise, it shows nothing. same goes for chips/xmult

[red flower]

you have 3 options:

1. use vars and variable colours in your text to add/remove that text
2. use main_end and ui nodes
3. switch descriptions using key

what's the goal? a texture pack or some effect?

[hallow slate]

So if I did #1##2##3# and did newlines (via the 1. method) that would work?

[modern kindle]

Good schmorning chat

[red flower]

no, newlines don't work
it's actually the reason why i told you about options 2 and 3 lol

[fallow breach]

i'm making a joker that destroys the cards to left and right of it, but the game crashes if they aren't both there

[red flower]

use Malverk then

[hallow slate]

Is this frowned upon as a method

[fallow breach]

would i just have to make two separate if blocks for the joker to the right and the joker to the left?

[red flower]

yeah probably

[thorn furnace]

I'm not sure if I did it right

self.hold_area = CardArea(
        15.5,
        3.75,
        self.CARD_W * 1.95,
        self.CARD_H * 0.95,
        {
            card_limit = ALLOY.hold_limit,
            type = 'hand',
            highlight_limit = 5
        }
    )
    self.hold_area.states.visible = true
    ALLOY.hold_area = G.hold_area

doesnt seem to be letting me highlight anything

[teal ferry]

do you guys know if there is a built in context that holds last played hand ? i am trying to make a joker that triggers if curently played hand is different then previous. if there isn't a builtin i will make my own variable but it may cause a little problem

[small tartan]

Downscaled the sword it's a bit ugly, but i am satisfied

[thorn furnace]

G.GAME.last_hand_played

[teal ferry]

G.GAME.last_hand_played = context.scoring_name can i use it like that ?

[faint leaf]

hey guys, this is my code and im getting this error:

[thorn furnace]

I believe so

[teal ferry]

okay. Thank you ❤️

[granite nymph]

okay the second error (the suit) is fixed now

but the first one (the rank) is still broken

[faint yacht]

The build of SMODS you're executing that on doesn't have the probability stuff updated.

[faint leaf]

sooo lets sayyy how would i fix it

[faint yacht]

Easiest is to grab the latest commit instead.

[red flower]

it looks right, i have no idea

[thorn furnace]

o

oh wait i got it working

this is the second time where the solution was just "do ???"

save code
open balatro
test
it doesn't work
close balatro
open balatro
test
it works now
???

Now I just need to make it vertical instead of horizontal

[red flower]

time to steal aiko's solitaire code

[thorn furnace]

don't get me wrong it doesn't look bad like this but like
it would fit so well above the deck

[thorn furnace]

o
Where may this code be perhaps :3

[granite nymph]

sorry but i need to bump again

[red flower]

@tall wharf

[granite nymph]

theres a lua file thats solitaire.lua im pretty sure

[thorn furnace]

o

[granite nymph]

module > custom_minigmaes

[thorn furnace]

thanks

[thorn furnace]

oh right unrelated but I forgot I was gonna ask you something about a different thing
uhh
how do you get the number of cards in a specific hand

[pure salmon]

how do i make a card immune to debuffs?

[red flower]

in add_to_deck use SMODS.debuff_card(card, "prevent_debuff", "source")

[red flower]

elaborate?

[thorn furnace]

local function get_all_hands(ignore_hand_limit)
    ignore_hand_limit = ignore_hand_limit or false

    no_hand_size_limit = evaluate_poker_hand(G.hand.cards)[G.GAME.last_hand_played]
    hand_limit_accounted = {}
    
    if ignore_hand_limit then return no_hand_size_limit end
    
    if no_hand_size_limit then
        for _, hand in ipairs(no_hand_size_limit) do
            if #hand <= G.hand.config.highlighted_limit then -- Apparently #hand doesn't work and just returns zero? Replace with something equivalent
                hand_limit_accounted[#hand_limit_accounted + 1] = hand
            end
        end
    end
    
    return hand_limit_accounted
end

i completely forgot i just kinda left it and gave up on it

[pure salmon]

they're temporary cards so i never add them to the deck

should i be doing that regardless

[red flower]

oh sorry is this a playing card

[pure salmon]

edition

debuffed temp cards won't destroy themselves

[red flower]

oh then on_apply

[pure salmon]

if i can make temporaries self-destruct regardless of debuff status that would probably be better

[red flower]

hmmm #hand should work there i think but no_hand_size_limit is always true if G.GAME.last_hand_played is valid, you need to check for next(no_hand_size_limit)

[thorn furnace]

o
the check was mainly there just in case G.GAME.last_hand_played wasn't valid

so like if it's the first hand

tho if I do like
print(#hand)
it just always returns 0

[red flower]

weird

[granite nymph]

bump

[teal ferry]

seems like i can't use G.GAME.last_hand_played ~= context.scoring_name because they will be same the time i am checking this equation.

any idea ?

[leaden hollow]

config = {extra = {chips = 0, chip_mod = 10, suit = 'Hearts' }},
loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
return {vars = {card.ability.extra.chips}}
end,
calculate = function(self,card,context)
if context.joker_main and context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_suit(card.ability.extra.suit) then
card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_mod
return{
chips = card.ability.extra.chips
}
end
end,

still new to modding so I cant rlly tell but what's wrong with this code?

[fallow breach]

depends on what you're using it for

[teal ferry]

if context.before and context.main_eval then local reset = true if G.GAME.last_hand_played == context.scoring_name then reset = false card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.Xmult_gain end
i use it like this

[fallow breach]

what you can do is "if context.after then, card.ability.extra.previous_hand = G.GAME.last_hand_played"

which will log it after the first hand you play with the joker

and for the card.ability.extra."blank" <-- anything can go here

[granite nymph]

bump

[fallow breach]

i think there is a way to do it globally but i'm not sure how it works

[teal ferry]

thank you

[worthy stirrup]

The colors of the non face cards are the low contrast version, how would I have it be the High Contrast ones?

local suits = {

    key = "collab_dr_clubs",
    path = "collab_DR_clubs.png",
    px = 71,

First spectral card
It works :3

[split sleet]

Hello, I have a question regarding SMODS.Pokerhand. I want to make a new hand consisting of 5 face cards that are flush. Here is what I have

    key = 'Family',
    visible = false,
    above_hand = 'Flush', 
    chips = 20,
    mult = 5,
    l_chips = 10,
    l_mult = 2,
    
    example = {
        { 'S_K',    true },
        { 'S_Q',    true },
        { 'S_Q',    true },

Am I missing like a pokerhandpart or something, how would go about making unique from a normal flush?

[sour garden]

why is my joker not displaying the variables in loc_txt? did i miss setting something up?

[pure salmon]

should be return { vars = { variables here } } instead of just return { variables here }

[sour garden]

thank you!

[pure salmon]

np

[thorn furnace]

Bump just in case

[pure salmon]

how do i make a calculate function on a card (edition in this case) always execute even the card is debuffed

[serene granite]

can someone come up with a rough draft for a joker that just adds a random card to your hand with the mult enhancement, kinda like certificate but just mult cards

i cant seem to figure it out and i gtg to work it would help me tons !

[thorn furnace]

I'm starting to think my Balatro copy is cursed
This is the third time in the past day that the solution to the problem I was having is just "try again and it magically works"

Nvm it broke again

Oh
Oh i see the problem nvm

[orchid dawn]

hey, is there any function or method that is called when a hand is played? and also one when its scored?

[pure salmon]

if context.press_play in the calculate() function for the first one

there's multiple contexts that trigger during hand scoring, what are you trying to do?

[placid star]

wheres the function that shows how many jokers you have in your slots?

[pure salmon]

G.jokers.config.card_limit

[placid star]

yeah but whats the code that displays that?

[pure salmon]

oh, unsure. i don't know ui

i can try and find it

[orchid dawn]

oh ok, ty

[chrome widget]

Trying to figure out joker retriggers... how do I make it so that a Joker that retriggers other cards doesn't respond if the card it's attempting to retrigger doesn't do anything?

[orchid dawn]

just this is enough
ty very much

[pure salmon]

np

[wild escarp]

How do I check the ID of a sold joker?

[daring fern]

You mean the key?

[wild escarp]

Yeah

[placid star]

i think you need to store the id of the joker when its sold then retrieve it later

[daring fern]

card.config.center.key?

[small tartan]

Did i made something wrong? When i select deck in the description suits are not colored

return {
    ["misc"] = {

[keen atlas]

somewhere in CardArea:draw()

[thorn furnace]

It finally works properly

[wild escarp]

Wait, isn't context.selling_self a thing?

[small tartan]

Can i have only the play last hand code? Haha

[thorn furnace]

When I'm done with the rest of the mod I'll send it ur way :3

[small tartan]

Ty <3

[daring fern]

Yes.

[limber marlin]

How do I like make new variables saved with the run?

[daring fern]

Put it in G.GAME

[split cairn]

how can i make a joker that gains +1 chips every second? it's probably not that hard but idek where to start

[limber marlin]

I currently have it that way, but every time I load the run and try to use the variables it crashes
Do I have to store jokers differently?

[daring fern]

Are you trying to store cards in G.GAME?

[limber marlin]

Yes

[daring fern]

Then yes.

You cannot put cards in the save.

[limber marlin]

Any suggestions or like things I should look at instead then?

Because storing cards in the save is vital to what I'm attempting to accomplish

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[limber marlin]

I am making a deck - TLAZ - which stores 2 different joker hands that swaps each blind, if that makes sense

In terms of the code, I'm basically just copying the jokers to an object and pulling from another, and swapping between the two

[frigid cargo]

^5

[cedar lance]

gang i cant code for shit what am i doing wrong here (did not crash)

[limber marlin]

Maybe your for loops being weird

I don't know much about lua but the way you set it up seems odd

Nevermind

[cedar lance]

bill cipher save us

[limber marlin]

What is wrong?

What is or isn't happening?

[cedar lance]

NOTHING is happening. like literally nothing. it should sell all consumables in the consumable area and add the sell value of those consumables to this joker's xmult, but it doesnt

[limber marlin]

well first of all, its not sell_value its sell_cost

That might be the issue

.. does that fix it?

[cedar lance]

great! now it does something! it crashes!

[daring fern]

You can't score on context.setting_blind.

[limber marlin]

that makes sense

[idle plaza]

Your context.setting_blind section should end in message = 'X'..card.ability.extra.Xmult, not xmult =

[small tartan]

I gave in and used C:red, attention, blue and green because i don't wanna get another migraine

[placid star]

why doesnt this work?

[small tartan]

Tomorrow i'm doing custom ranks, and if i don't take too much, even custom hands like settebello (single 7 of coins instead of high card, etc.)

When i'm done i'll make custom art instead of placeholders

[wild escarp]

I want this joker to add eternal to the joker on the right when it's sold, I'm guessing G.jokers.cards[i] == self doesn't work, so what else can I use?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if G.jokers and not context.blueprint then
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if context.selling_self and G.jokers.cards[i] == self then
                G.jokers.cards[i+1]:set_eternal(true)
            end
        end
    end
end

[small tartan]

But custom art right now is very low on priority

[cedar lance]

THANK YOU.

[small tartan]

Autra i can feel you, capitalization Is my enemy too

[daring fern]

G.jokers.cards[i] == card

[idle plaza]

Don't put () at the end of the local cfbs = ... line, that calls the function and stores its return value, instead of storing the function itself.

[daring fern]

Also move the context.selling_self check out of the for loop.

[placid star]

like this?

[daring fern]

No, local cfbs = G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space

[placid star]

like this?

[idle plaza]

Yes, but please move the (card) back to where it was before.

[limber marlin]

So like, any work arounds to saving cards into the save?

[normal crest]

The game already saves the cards into the save file

You can reuse what it has

[wild escarp]

How would I go about disabling a blind that uses the debuff_hand function?

[orchid dawn]

hey
this is my code, the test 1, 2 and 3 are working (play is pressed too), but the test 4 dont work

the ideia is a joker that choose another joker to copy its effect each hand played. Half of the time it copies the leftmost joker, the other half, the rightmost joker

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local targetJoker = nil
        local availablePos = {}
        if context.press_play then
            print('play is pressed')
        if G.jokers.cards[1] and G.jokers.cards[1] then
            table.insert(availablePos, 1)
            print('test 1')
        end
        if G.jokers.cards[#G.jokers.cards] and G.jokers.cards[#G.jokers.cards] then
            table.insert(availablePos, #G.jokers.cards)
            print('test 2')
        end
       
            if #availablePos > 0 then
                local chosen_position = pseudorandom_element(availablePos, pseudoseed('losted_doodle'))
                targetJoker = G.jokers.cards[chosen_position]
                print('test 3')
                -- if targetJoker == card then
              --      targetJoker = nil
              --  end
        end
            local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, targetJoker, context)
            if ret then
                print('test 4')
                ret.colour = G.C.PURPLE
            end
            return ret
        end
        
        return nil
    end

anyone can help me ?

context.end_of_round

Hello !
I am having trouble with a feature to dynamically change the hand size,joker size,...
The hand size is linked to a variable in the G.
But if I have a joker that increase this variable on a end_of_round, then all the increase will be made one round later.
It looks like it is :
Check for the value then increase it. But if both joker trigger in end_of_round, how can I choose which one to trigger first ?

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'X',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'X',
        text = {
            "Gains +#1# jslots",
        }
    },
    config = {
        extra = {
            slots = 1,
        },
        immutable = {
            max_slots = 50,
        },
    },
    rarity = 2,
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    cost = 5,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return { vars = { self.config.extra.slots } }
    end,
    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        local extra = math.min(card.ability.extra.slots * G.GAME.pharahos_scarabs, card.ability.immutable.max_slots)
        G.jokers.config.card_limit = lenient_bignum(G.jokers.config.card_limit + to_big(extra))
    end,
    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        local extra = math.min(card.ability.extra.slots * G.GAME.pharahos_scarabs, card.ability.immutable.max_slots)
        G.jokers.config.card_limit = lenient_bignum(G.jokers.config.card_limit - to_big(extra))

Isn't wee joker just a regular sprite size

But a lot of transparent pixels on the sides

I'd like this joker to destroy the 2 and give an ethereal tag if the scoring hand contains one queen and one two, anyone know why it isn't working?

    if context.before then
        local queens = 0
        local twos = 0
        for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do

        end
        if twos > 0 and twos < 2 and queens > 0 and queens < 2 then
            card.ability.extra.created_tag = true

    end

    if context.destroy_card and not context.blueprint then

How do I change the text on a button

[red flower]

no, it's regular jimbo sized down

[frigid cargo]

That is what i have for my joker but is still acts as a full joker so the sell button is just floating instead of being next to the actual joker, you use pixel size to change it but idk what to multiply 71 and 95 with

[red flower]

just put the size you want directly

[frigid cargo]

Hmmm ok

[orchid dawn]

bump

[frigid cargo]

it works thanks, i just had to move sprite right after

[errant arrow]

-# embed fail.

i'll put it as a link only youtube video, one moment

[orchid dawn]

convert to mp4

[modern kindle]

you also could just convert it to mp4

yewa

mp4 embeds, mkv never has in my exp

[orchid dawn]

ye

[errant arrow]

mp4, joker creation is a bit funny

i know im missing the emplace, but when i put it into my code, the game crashes

[daring fern]

Code?

[errant arrow]

it's at the end of the video, but here's a ss

[daring fern]

Try just using SMODS.add_card({key = "j_joker"})

[errant arrow]

yup, that worked

now the issue is getting it to only create one

[orchid dawn]

@daring fern can you help me ?

[daring fern]

context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[orchid dawn]

here

idk how to resolve

[errant arrow]

thank you!

[placid star]

for patching into this func, what would i do as my local variable that stores the original

e.g. hookTo = ...

[daring fern]

local oldcardareaupdate = CardArea.update?

[placid star]

ahh i was using : instead of .

[wintry solar]

you're only ever passing the other jokers the context of pressing play - this context doesn't do anything on almost any joker

[errant arrow]

the create joker works, but when i try to replace it to create my placeholder rose, nothing is made

[orchid dawn]

how to resolve this ?

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

Remove the if context.press_play check.

[errant arrow]

first one is placeholder seed, second is the rose

[orchid dawn]

but that way it will keep copying a joker and then changing it, all while the hand is still being played

[errant arrow]

before the screen shots, i also tried placing the key into the quotes for the add card

[orchid dawn]

what your engine ?

[chrome widget]

Is there a central context for the deck being modified? There's a central unlock condition but that doesn't get sent to unlocked items, so I can't leverage that here

[frigid cargo]

can i make a sprite for an edition then just try to match it with the card in shaders or smth?

[daring fern]

The key would be j_modprefix_rose

[errant arrow]

ooh.

okay

[errant arrow]

visual studio code

[normal crest]

you could hook the check for unlock function mayhaps

[chrome widget]

Probably gonna have to yeah

Just slightly annoyed

[orchid dawn]

ok

[thorn furnace]

bump

[spice wadi]

can i have more context
like is it a button you made or an existing one

[thorn furnace]

A button I made
I wanted to change the text on the button depending on what the player is doing

[spice wadi]

so like
changes while the menu is open?

[thorn furnace]

Essentially yea

G.FUNCS.can_hold = function(e)
    if 0 < #G.hand.highlighted and #G.hand.highlighted == #ALLOY.hold_area.highlighted then
        e.config.colour = G.C.GOLD
        e.config.button = "toggle_hold"
        e.config.text = "Swap"
    elseif 0 < #G.hand.highlighted and #G.hand.highlighted <= ALLOY.hold_limit - (G.GAME.cards_in_held_area or 0) and #ALLOY.hold_area.highlighted <= 0 then
        e.config.colour = G.C.GOLD
        e.config.button = "toggle_hold"
        e.config.text = "Hold"
    else
        e.config.colour = G.C.UI.BACKGROUND_INACTIVE
        e.config.button = nil
        e.config.text = "Hold"
    end
end

this but replacing e.config.text with whatever I would be using here

[spice wadi]

would you need to change it then recalculate the menu its in

[thorn furnace]

I'm not sure
Currently the colour changes just fine

[red flower]

can i see the button code

like where you define it

[thorn furnace]

local hold_button = {n=G.UIT.C, config={id = 'hold_button',align = "tm", padding = 0.3, r = 0.1, minw = 2.5, minh = button_height, hover = true, colour = G.C.GOLD, button = "toggle_hold", one_press = false, shadow = true, func = 'can_hold'}, nodes={
    {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", padding = 0}, nodes={
        {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = "Hold", scale = text_scale, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, focus_args = {button = 'z', orientation = 'bm'}, func = 'set_button_pip'}}
    }}
}}

[spice wadi]

i feel like this is an issue with how youve set the variable
like the text is nested in a different element

[red flower]

instead of text = "Hold" change it to ref_table = G.GAME, ref_value = "your_variable" and put the text in G.GAME.your_variable

or any other table

[thorn furnace]

thank u :>

[median grove]

Is there a way to use Smods.add_card to create a joker only with a specific prefix? e.g creating jokers only from my mod or smthn like that

[thorn furnace]

it does work tho there's something weird
It's off center for some reason

i think

[errant arrow]

centered from the sides, a little too high
-# from my glance at least

[red flower]

maybe add align to the text node? idk

[thorn furnace]

tru

[frigid cargo]

[thorn furnace]

huh
I don't even use the sound manager

[errant arrow]

what's the code for the must have room conditional?

[daring fern]

if #area.cards + G.GAME.area_buffer < area.config.card_limit

[gaunt thistle]

hi something, how are you doing today

[thorn furnace]

i fixed it by muting the draw_card function i used
apparently it uses sound

<@&1133519078540185692>

[chrome widget]

Task Manager, kill him

[errant arrow]

causes a crash

[daring fern]

You replace area with the card area.

And G.GAME.area_buffer with the buffer.

Where can I find a template Lovely mod without anything else? I want to make a very simple Lovely mod but the example mod I've found includes a lot more stuff that I don't need, and I don't know how to remove what I don't need without breaking the mod.

[red flower]

what kind of mod are you trying to do

[neat leaf]

I want to add a custom deck to Cryptid by modifying their deck.lua. I have a good idea of what the modifications will look like.

Modifying the file via Lovely seems like the most relaible option.

[wintry solar]

a new deck?

[neat leaf]

Yes.

[wintry solar]

just add it as a deck within your own mod

[neat leaf]

But it depends on Cryptid's lib.

[wintry solar]

then make your mod depend on cryptid

[neat leaf]

I... don't know how to do that.

[red flower]

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

[neat leaf]

Does that just give me access to the Cryptid libraries, or do I need to load those myself?

[wintry solar]

it'll mean your mod only loads if the cryptid librares are also loaded

[red flower]

every mod has access to anything other mods make global

[neat leaf]

Okay so I don't need to load anything from Cryptid; I'll just have their globals.

[red flower]

what's the kinda crash log

[median grove]

is .modded_objects still something you can use? this is just a reappropriated version of one of SDM's functions, but it crashes saying it got a nil value where a table was expected

[frigid cargo]

[median grove]

in my main file i have it set to PhilsMod = Smods.current_mod

[red flower]

oh pseudorandom_element is missing the table

[red flower]

@maiden phoenix

[orchid dawn]

@daring fern can you help me ?

[quick scarab]

local eligible_card = pseudorandom_element(true, 'magic_elephant')?

[maiden phoenix]

Don't use that it's old

I do it differently nowdays, check a more recent version of the mod in the pools.lua

[red flower]

no, it has to be a table, not a boolean

i dont know what youre trying to pick there tho

[quick scarab]

good question

just trying to make randomly select a enchantement without having to manualy code the random selection

[wintry solar]

those also aren't editions

so using poll_edition is probably going to crash

you're looking for SMODS.poll_enhancement

[cerulean meadow]

what does it mean when it crashes because of something called "juice_up"

[red flower]

oh yeah

[maiden phoenix]

usually your card no longer exists when it's trying to juice_up

[cerulean meadow]

how does that work

[maiden phoenix]

or it simply doesn't exist

[red flower]

you used self instead of card

[cerulean meadow]

it is there until it is triggered

[red flower]

probably

[cerulean meadow]

let me see

used self and card

calculate = function(self, card, context) for example

wherever there is self there is also card

[red flower]

self is fine there

inside the function you shouldnt use self

[cerulean meadow]

am i allowed to post my code here

[red flower]

yes

[wintry solar]

delete card = self

and focus = self

[red flower]

if card.debuff then return nil end samplejimbos detected

[wintry solar]

also what is the resource you're copying this from?

[cerulean meadow]

yeah using samplejimbos as a base

[wintry solar]

dont

[cerulean meadow]

following a tutorial but its outdated

by a few millenia

[maiden phoenix]

I recommend checking the SMODS docs and VanillaRemade

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[cerulean meadow]

i tried ripping the base game up but i couldn't figure out how

[maiden phoenix]

(I really wish VanillaRemade showed up when I google for it)

[wintry solar]

samplejimbos is badly written, I wouldn't recommend using it as a base at all

[urban wasp]

what is happening?? i keep getting this crash on almost every joker in my mod

[orchid dawn]

bump

[red flower]

at least they updated it from 0.9.8

[maiden phoenix]

No way N you made VanillaRemade for Minecraft too? That's so cool

[red flower]

did you do SMODS.Joker = {... anywhere?

[urban wasp]

no, it's all just SMODS.Joker {

i have no idea what's happening like

it's not just this it's every joker

[red flower]

i ask because thats a common mistake i see

[urban wasp]

yea

[red flower]

and that would break all the other jokers

[keen atlas]

ddg does actually

[umbral zodiac]

i hate to break it to you but i think you committed a cardinal smods sin and you have to perform the ritual to eremel now now

[cerulean meadow]

all works now by the way, thanks guys

[maiden phoenix]

Damn DDG based

[wintry solar]

you should definitely double check this

[urban wasp]

yeah i don't know what's happening 😭

[urban wasp]

i mean like i'll look

umm

oh my god

you little

thanks

[median grove]

alright i did that and the game doesnt crash anymore but its only pulling the default joker i put in

in addition i also added set the .modded_jokers thing to {} in the main file before any of the files are asserted

[maiden phoenix]

after doing your SMODS.Joker tables you added them to the modded_jokers table?

[errant arrow]

trying to make the "must have room" conditional, crashes anytime a joker is attempted to be made.

[red flower]

whats the code

[errant arrow]

i get the feeling its the long line at 56

[red flower]

#G.jokers.cards + G.GAME.joker_buffer < G.jokers.config.card_limit

[errant arrow]

so it's the .GAME. on cards and limit?

[cedar pendant]

can i gift one of you coding guys a steam game to make me a single joker cause i cant 💀

[red flower]

a lot more than that

[red flower]

no but what is it

[errant arrow]

-# im honestly in the same boat as you right now, im lucky people are responding to my queries

[red flower]

oh ok i just saw eremels message from earlier because i couldnt figure it out with the identation lol

you're only calling blueprint_effect in context.press_play so it will only work on jokers that do stuff there

you should use press play to save the index of the left or right card but then call blueprint_effect outside of a context

[errant arrow]

still crashes after i replaced it

[red flower]

did you put the #

[errant arrow]

-# why didnt that get copied ;-;

-# replaced

[chrome widget]

@red flower Query for you. I'm having trouble setting up this card to work with joker retriggers. Due to the way set_ability and its delayed sprites work, I can't figure out a decent setup so that the cards turned gold by this code wait to visually change at the same time that the message plays. Instead, if it's retriggered, all cards turned gold do so at the same time on the first message, and then nothing appears to happen on the second message even if the retrigger turned cards gold that were missed on the first iteration

    local gold = 0
    for i, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        if v.config.center.key ~= 'm_gold' and v:is_suit(G.GAME and G.GAME.wigsaw_suit or "Hearts")
        and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, pseudoseed('csau_goldexperience'), 1, card.ability.extra.prob) then
            gold = gold + 1
            v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_gold, nil, true)
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    v:juice_up()
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
    end

    if gold > 0 then
        local flare_card = context.blueprint_card or card
        return {
            func = function()
                G.FUNCS.flare_stand_aura(flare_card, 0.50)
            end,
            extra = {
                message = localize('k_gold_exp'),
                colour = G.C.MONEY,
                card = flare_card,
                blocking = true,
            }
        }
    end
end```

I could just package set_ability in the event, but that means the cards don't have their updated values for the remainder of scoring

So if some other card wants to do smth with scoring gold cards, I'd prefer to have those chain off each other rather than it skipping this hand

[orchid dawn]

oh ok

[chrome widget]

visual example of this

[median grove]

oh i hadnt done that thanks it works now

[red flower]

Honestly never worked with retriggers so no idea, sadly
Maybe having everything in func?

the problem is the conditional i guess

[worthy stirrup]

The colors of the non face cards are the low contrast version, how would I have it be the High Contrast ones?

local suits = {
  Clubs = SMODS.Atlas {
    key = "collab_dr_clubs",
    path = "collab_DR_clubs.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
  }
}

for suit, atlas in pairs(suits) do
  SMODS.DeckSkin {
    key = atlas.key,
    suit = suit,
    loc_txt = "Deltarune",
    palettes = {
      {
        key = "hc",
        ranks = {'Jack', 'Queen', "King"},
        display_ranks = {"King", "Queen", "Jack"},
        atlas = atlas.key,
        pos_style = 'collab'
      }
    }
  }
end

[chrome widget]

Ugh yeah again the issue is packaging it func puts it in an event preventing the new enhancement from being visible further in the scoring order

Hnmmm

[red flower]

func doesnt put things in events

it just runs after all the scoring stuff so you can have an event that runs after it, but doesnt do it automatically

[chrome widget]

Hmm I see. But I think that might result in the same issue. I need a delay after the return block message

The main thing is just blocking the delayed sprite application to the second set of set abilities

[orchid dawn]

hey, whats up with my identation?

[red flower]

My guess about the func thing is that maybe (i really dont know how retriggers work) the main part of calculate runs practically after it first triggered but anything returned runs after the again message, so it would put the set_ability delay event after the again message and the other stuff

[red flower]

looks bad on discord

[orchid dawn]

oh ok

[red flower]

bad | good

[orchid dawn]

idk where the "end" of context.press_play, bruh

[red flower]

?

[orchid dawn]

what

[red flower]

what do you mean

[orchid dawn]

i don't know where the "end" of the function context.press_play is

[red flower]

it's not a function it's a statement but there's a line

[orchid dawn]

bruh

[orchid dawn]

oh, real, ty
im dumb bruh

[cedar pendant]

Im jeong dae from squid game

[red flower]

not the flavor, the effect

[cedar pendant]

oh yeah if you have he gives $100 each round but he has a chance of getting impaled by a metal pole

Yes its a joke joker\

[red flower]

again, not the flavor, the effect

what does that mean

[cedar pendant]

Am i stupid thats his effect 😭

The card gives $100 each round and has a chance to get impaled by a metal pole and die

[red flower]

"getting impaled by a metal pole" is not a balatro mechanic, what does it mean? is it just visual? does it get destroyed?

when does it get destroyed

[cedar pendant]

Oh yeah it gets destroyed i shouldve said that 😭

1 in 8 chance

[red flower]

1 in 8 chance when

[normal crest]

top 10 hidden balatro mechanics you never heard of

[red flower]

when it gives the money or before or when

[cedar pendant]

At the end of each round when he gives the money

Sorry i suck at

explaining things lmao

[red flower]

give me a sec

[serene granite]

N is so nice and so helpful and so cool and so awesome

[graceful vapor]

Nah that;s crazy

[orchid dawn]

i think that have a any sytanx error, because after I moved the copy function outside of context.press_play, my joker stopped being recognized

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local targetJoker = nil
        local availablePos = {}
        
        if context.press_play then

just copy certificate in vanillaremade and replace the seal part for enhancement = 'm_mult'

[serene granite]

I tried that but it didn't give me mult cards just unenhanced ones

[cedar pendant]

Yo your the goat 😭

[red flower]

what version of smods

this is a recent change

[serene granite]

Hmm I'm not too sure, gotta check when I get home

I'll send more info when I'm home from work !

[red flower]

if its not the last release then thats the problem

[serene granite]

Ok good to know, I think it's latest release though

But I'll double check

[red flower]

let me try myself tho

[cedar pendant]

N ive never modded before were do i actually like put this goat to run it 💀

[serene granite]

That would be sweet

[red flower]

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

[red flower]

worked fine

[serene granite]

Them im a moron, I tried for like a hour, but im a beginner. Ill try to learn what I did wrong

[red flower]

anyway let me make sure i dont push mult certificate and squid game joker to vanillaremade

[modern kindle]

Nah get em both in

[fallow breach]

so this joker will destroy the joker to its left and right and add chips. that part works well, and i can get it to destroy the right joker on its own too, but it won't destroy the left joker on its own

my code is pretty messy but i don't see a reason why it wouldn't work

[hidden sable]

how is math.huge used (from talisman)

[ivory coral]

hi chat
im trying to patch the new SMODS.pseudorandom_probability() to allow me to check if a probability was rolled, and if it was successful
however since the function just returns with a pseudorandom() if i try to check with the same pseudorandom() beforehand it changes the actual outcome
so is there a way to get what pseudorandom() would return without changing its rng? i dont really want to have to patch at the function if i dont have to

[fallow breach]

if anyone wants to help i'll dm you the code because it's too long to show here

[red flower]

dont patch it, hook it

[serene granite]

Do you mind sending what you wrote so I can learn from it, I promise I won't steal 😋

[red flower]

i mean i made vanillaremade so people steal from me

[hidden sable]

yeha thats kinda the point of vremade

[ivory coral]

true i could do that instead in theory but that wouldnt fix the issue

[red flower]

i did local _card = SMODS.create_card { set = "Base", enhancement = "m_mult", area = G.discard } in certificate

[modern kindle]

Everyone wants you to steal from em its the wave

[red flower]

yes it would?

[fast compass]

hey there
maybe you can help me out so imma throw this in here aswell
#⚙・modding-general message

[red flower]

thats literally the reason it was made

[serene granite]

Thank you so much, I think I removed the base part , so that's why

[ivory coral]

it would still return with that pseudorandom() at the end and throw off the rng outcome

[sturdy compass]

Iirc Winter made a PR for something like this. Hopefully it gets pulled
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/785

[red flower]

local SMODS_pseudorandom_probability_ref = SMODS.pseudorandom_probability
function SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(trigger_obj, seed, base_numerator, base_denominator)
    local ret = SMODS_pseudorandom_probability_ref(trigger_obj, seed, base_numerator, base_denominator)
    if ret then
        -- yep
    else
        -- nope
    end
    return ret
end

[ivory coral]

doesnt this still call pseudorandom() twice? once in this hook and again in the original function

[red flower]

no unless you add it there

what's your goal?

[ivory coral]

calling ret here would call pseudorandom() because its in the function its referencing wouldnt it

[red flower]

ret is true or false, it's not a function

SMODS_pseudorandom_probability_ref calls pseudorandom once

I think you might be misundertanding hooks

[ivory coral]

how do i use it in this case then
i want to check the outcome of the pseudorandom_probability check before its returned

[red flower]

the --yep comment is where you would put the code you want when it succeeds, the --nope where it fails

you can also make your own context there for a more general thing which is what astra was talking about

[ivory coral]

oh does it
ok i didnt know that was a thing
how does that actually work im curious
how does it get the outcome

[red flower]

you mean the context thing or the first part?

[ivory coral]

no i know the context bit i mean how does checking if ret then check whether the probability succeeds

[red flower]

SMODS_pseudorandom_probability_ref just calls the original function and saves the return (a boolean) to ret
The hook basically says "wait before you return it for real let me check what the result was"

[ivory coral]

oooh ok i see now

im used to hooks as like
extra code at the start of the function then returning the rest of the function
but this is like an extra layer after the function returns

ok thats neat

[wild escarp]

This doesn't do anything, anyone know why?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.before and not context.blueprint then

        end
        if twos > 0 and twos < 2 and queens > 0 and queens < 2 then
            card.ability.extra.created_tag = true

                        }))
                    end,
                    remove = true
                }
            end
        end
    end
end

whats the intended effect

[wild escarp]

If played and scoring hand has one queen and one two destroy the two and create an ethereal tag.

[quick scarab]

question, is there a way to end the run by its entirely if a certain condition is met, even if I need to make a seperate SMODS commands

like if I hold a certain joker for a long time

[red flower]

yes, win or lose?

[red flower]

i had to test it to see it lol

you're resetting card.ability.extra.created_tag after the first card in the hand

do it when it destroys a 2

[quick scarab]

lose

but also win just for curiosity

[red flower]

oh idk win lol

G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER
G.STATE_COMPLETE = false

this is lose

[chrome widget]

It's resetting the level chips?

huh

Thank you

That looks sick, what do they do?

[bitter portal]

The first one is for upgrading a hand type called "Roundabout" which is when 5 cards are played with no duplicate suits (my mod adds a 5th suit so this hand is possible)
The second one is for upgrading a hand called "Funny" which...... is when you.... play a 6, 9, 4, 2, and 0 (which my mod adds) in order

my joker doesnt trigger after the boss blind

it should spawn another joker when this blind is won

[red flower]

it's context.end_of_round and it doesnt have context.blind, you need to use G.GAME.blind.boss

[quick scarab]

I tried context.end_of_round before but it ended up crashing all the time

[red flower]

because something else was wrong

[bitter portal]

Trying to make a shader for an edition, got this crash, any idea why?

[graceful vapor]

How do I play a custom sound effect?

[vague crest]

how would i check when the player cashes out?

[modern kindle]

i somehow read it as when the player crashes out lmao

[daring fern]

context.starting_shop?

[vague crest]

ohhh wait thats smart actually

[graceful vapor]

How do I play a custom sound effec :(

[vague crest]

yup that works ty!

[frigid cargo]

^3

[graceful vapor]

Please somebody tell me how to play a custom sound effect without putting it into the game files

[daring fern]

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

[lament agate]

can you guarantee luck for testing purposes?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[red flower]

set G.GAME.probabilities.normal to math.huge

[graceful vapor]

This isn't working

[daring fern]

Code?

[serene granite]

N the code you sent for the mult card worked perfectly thank you !

[lament agate]

thanks

I have it in assets>sounds>Sparkstaffuse.ogg

[daring fern]

How did you define the sound?

[graceful vapor]

It's in calculate

in if context.before

bruh

[daring fern]

No, where is the SMODS.Sound?

[graceful vapor]

I need to define the path at the top?

[granite nymph]

does anyone know why the description isnt working?

[lament agate]

how do you do this

[granite nymph]

for context the suit does work as of now

i just dont know whty the rank is not displaying

[quick scarab]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss
        and #G.jokers.cards + G.GAME.joker_buffer < G.jokers.config.card_limit then

            local jokers_to_create = math.min(card.ability.extra.creates,
                G.jokers.config.card_limit - (#G.jokers.cards + G.GAME.joker_buffer))
            G.GAME.joker_buffer = G.GAME.joker_buffer + jokers_to_create

                colour = G.C.BLUE,
            }

        end
    end,```

I got it to work

but it doesnt stop spawning jokers

[errant arrow]

how do i make custom rarities?

[red flower]

eval G.GAME.probabilities.normal = math.huge in the console

[red flower]

context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and...

[daring fern]

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

[lament agate]

is ease_volume a thing?

it crashes

[daring fern]

No.

[lament agate]

shit

[frigid cargo]

[granite nymph]

localization isnt sorking agian

[red flower]

i think it's Back

[lament agate]

how do i combine the sound and the load image together

i want it so that it plays the sound when the image is loaded

[wheat jewel]

Is there a way to for a joker to check if a probability fails?

[daring fern]

No.

[quick scarab]

How do I make the game check if I have a specify joker at my hand?

[wheat jewel]

I know the rofflatro does it but it uses its own custom context

[red flower]

next smods update, yes

[lament agate]

is this fine

[wheat jewel]

Oh Really??

Sweet

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[wheat jewel]

imma try this tysm!!

[serene granite]

is e_holo used for holographic cards?

next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key"))

[red flower]

yes

@/ozy

[lament agate]

bumpity

[quick scarab]

thank you

[wheat jewel]

Should i put this code anywhere in my mod or make it part of the joker's code?

[red flower]

outside the joker

[frigid cargo]

bump

[serene granite]

N the booster pack group_name didnt work..

[red flower]

may i see the code

[serene granite]

ok

[red flower]

remove the group_key

[vague crest]

lmaoooo oops

[gray void]

Get sealed

[serene granite]

it worked pefect ! omg

[wheat jewel]

Gotcha!

[granite nymph]

localization is hard

game crashes when i hover over pickles

debug doersnt work

[daring fern]

It's Back not Backs

[wheat jewel]

So for what the functions outputs, if i want the joker to interpret the return as true or false, do I just do like if SMODS_pseudorandom_probability_ref == true?

[red flower]

that's what i said!

[red flower]

what i wrote is that you should do
replace the yep comment for the probability succeeding and the nope for it failing

check trigger_obj if you want to check a specific object (keep in mind it can be any kind of object)

[wheat jewel]

i see, would like setting ret to true if it passes and false if it doesn't work as such?

sorry if i'm kinda aloof

[red flower]

yeah if you want to change the result change ret

[wheat jewel]

gotcha

[wheat jewel]

Would this work?

[daring fern]

No.

[wheat jewel]

How could i fix it

[daring fern]

You would do SMODS.calculate_context({modprefix_probability_fail = true}) under the else.

Then check for context.modprefix_probability_fail

[wheat jewel]

Wait do i do this inside of the pseudorandom func or inside the joker?

or do i not need the function at all?

Oh wait i might get it now

[wheat jewel]

Did this i think it might work

[daring fern]

No.

[hasty mist]

i dont think its my mod causing it

but i cant even tell

[wheat jewel]

Oh? What should I change?

[red flower]

I might also recommend waiting a couple of weeks because these contexts will probably just get added to smods

[daring fern]

Put it in the else of the hook.

[red flower]

can you post the full log

[wheat jewel]

I guess I can do that for now

[wheat jewel]

in which if block?

[wheat jewel]

Ohhhh ok

[red flower]

hmm no idea

[wild escarp]

Is there a way to change what sprite a joker is using in the calculate?

[hasty mist]

wait what is the effect of the joker youre making

[hasty mist]

In this specific context it happened when i hovered over a planet in the shop

[native zinc]

yes let me pull it up

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wheat jewel]

yayy ty!

[hasty mist]

oh my god i know whats wrong here

one of the mods i have installed seems to have made a typo

[serene granite]

is there a way i can make the particles in booster packs, move upwards?

[native zinc]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
      card.children.center.scale = { x = card.children.center.atlas.px, y = card.children.center.atlas.py } -- declare scale
      card.T.w, card.T.h = G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H 
         if card and card.children and card.children.center and card.children.center.set_sprite_pos then 
            card.children.center.atlas = G.ASSET_ATLAS['loy_alty'] -- pick atlas (loy is the prefix of atlas)
         if card.ability then
            if card.ability.loyalty_remaining ~= card.children.center.sprite_pos_copy.x - 1 then -- loyalty_remaining is the. loyalty card procs remaining, duh
               card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = card.ability.loyalty_remaining + 1 or 0, y = 0}) -- set sprite pos acc to loy_remaining
               card:juice_up(0.2,0.2) -- solely for fun
               play_sound("cardSlide2") -- this sound actually interprets as hole punching
            end
         else
            card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = 0, y = 0}) -- Just In Case
         end
      end
   end

this is functionality for punching holes in loyalty card

it takes an atlas and moves the position to the right

so the image changes

[wild escarp]

Would it be suitable to just use card.children.center:set_sprite_pos for simply swapping the sprite every round then?

[lament agate]

i still need help with this

it crashes

[daring fern]

Both of those functions don't exist, also no_delete = true should be outside the func but still in the event.

[frigid cargo]

bump

[pure salmon]

do the boss blind calculate contexts like stay_flipped and debuff_hand work as expected in jokers?

[wheat jewel]

I didn't work unfortunately

[lament agate]

is there another way to start a new run?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

What SMODS version are you on?

[daring fern]

You mean restart the run?

[daring fern]

You need this version: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

[vague crest]

how would i destroy a card after it's done being played?

[lament agate]

yws

yes

[wheat jewel]

Is this the latest version?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wheat jewel]

trying it now, will keep you updated

[daring fern]

Try looking at how holding r does it.

[lament agate]

which lua exactly

[daring fern]

controller.lua

[lament agate]

this?

[wheat jewel]

It works now but mainly for probabilities that occur during or after a round ends

not during the beginning of the round

cuz some of the jokers I made have probabilities that occur when selecting a blind

but my joker never upgrades itself when those probabilities fail

[bitter portal]

how do i change Edition with DebugPlus?

[lament agate]

Ctrl + Q over the card

mouse above card

[wheat jewel]

Does anyone know how to check if a poker hand has been played more than once

[daring fern]

Yes.

You have to change your jokers to use that function.

[wheat jewel]

Would this work to check if a hand has been played once?

[hidden sable]

how can i make a joker thats just blueprint but 10 times

[bitter portal]

why is alpha not working in my shader

[frigid cargo]

    config = { hand_size = -1 },
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    order = 1,
    atlas = "DTiny",
    unlocked = true,

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, back)
        return { vars = { self.config.hand_size } }
    end,

    apply = function(self)
        G.GAME.starting_params.hand_size = G.GAME.starting_params.hand_size + self.config.hand_size

why does it subtract 2? hand size

[frigid cargo]

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

[hidden sable]

you say this like i havent already checked this

it calls a function

isnt there something with repetitions

but idk if its for jokes

[frigid cargo]

im not good at lua but cant you use a loop to return the function mutiple times?

[hidden sable]

true, biut this feels counterintuitive

[bitter portal]

wtf? does alpha just not work??

[frigid cargo]

fair, idk then srry

[wheat jewel]

I'm trying to make a joker that adds chips when per every poker hand played for the first time, but it isn't doing so in my code

[normal crest]

if I had to guess, by the time this happens the played count is 1 when it's the first time it's played

[wheat jewel]

Oh I see

should i do <=

less than or equal to

[normal crest]

Also a better way to do that would be to access G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name] directly instead of looping through every hand

[normal crest]

Try it

[bitter portal]

nvm figured it out

[daring fern]

local other_joker
for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do
    if G.jokers.cards[i] == card and G.jokers.cards[i+1] then
        other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i+1]
    end
end
local effects = {}
for i=1, 10 do
    local effect = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context)
    if effect then
        table.insert(effects, effect)
    end
end
return SMODS.merge_effects(effects)

[normal crest]

🥄

[fallow breach]

any way to get this to not account for eternals?

[errant arrow]

i've been reading steamodded's wiki page on the SMODS.Rarity but i dont understand what it's telling me

[normal crest]

not like that, you'd have to loop through all the jokers and make a new list that excludes the eternal ones

[thorn furnace]

For some reason my patch doesn't seem to be working properly
I keep getting the crash in the screenshot whenever i click on a card

[fallow breach]

so something like this? but then how would i get the destroy effect to only target that joker

[normal crest]

that's not what I said at all

[formal quest]

How do I manipulate the spawning of cards from any source? I want to change the type of a card as it spawns.

[red flower]

you would need to hook/patch create_card

[normal crest]

local jokers = {}
for _, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
  if not v.ability.eternal then
    jokers[#jokers+1] = v
  end
end
SMODS.destroy_cards(jokers)
``` 🥄

[formal quest]

How does create_card_for_shop relate to it? I assume I only need to patch the one.

[gusty iron]

i had a REALLY stupid idea for a mod but idk if i could do this without help

hear me out:

joker mastery

[formal quest]

More of a #⚙・modding-general topic I feel like

[gusty iron]

maybe

[errant arrow]

day 3: third placeholder added for some testing

-# im not managing my time well

[red flower]

create_card_for_shop uses create_card afaik, it just adds some shop things

[hybrid shadow]

is the context for starting the game different from the context for starting a run

i mean i assume it is i just dont know the code

[hidden sable]

is there a way to insert an image into text

like having an "emoji"

[daring fern]

No, because they both don't exist.

[red flower]

use a different font

[hybrid shadow]

then why does Game.start_run work for an if statement

[red flower]

like doing if Game.start_run??

[hybrid shadow]

yes, apparently that runs the code right when the game boots up

[red flower]

i dont think that's correct

that statement is always true

because the function exists

[hybrid shadow]

then the code's just running every frame?

[red flower]

If it's not in an update or draw function then no

if it's in calculate it might be running every context

[hybrid shadow]

lemme just show the entire code rq

[red flower]

is that line 1

[hybrid shadow]

thats the whole code

the entire lua file is just that

[red flower]

then this will run as soon as it loads

[hybrid shadow]

im wondering if i can set the if to run when the player starts a run instead of just when the file is loaded

[formal quest]

How do I get if a card is a planet card?

[red flower]

you would need to hook that function

[red flower]

card.ability.set == "Planet"

[hidden sable]

game crashes if too much are used, any way to have this not happen?

[daring fern]

Make it blueprint incompatible.

[bitter portal]

hey so this is the ID of my zero rank, but im worried it will change if there are other mods, how can I get this ID from the rank?

[thorn furnace]

Bump

[hidden sable]

true, but i want it to work together, unless making it incompatable does what i think it does

[daring fern]

Is there a log or does it hard crash?

[hidden sable]

there is a log it says stack overflow

[daring fern]

Then there is no other way.

[urban wasp]

how can i make my music track override everything else?

e.g. if i'm playing cryptid and i get a big big score, i don't want it to override the music playing from my mod

[daring fern]

Return 1.7e308 in select_music_track

[fallow breach]

i think v.ability.eternal is causing issues somehow

[urban wasp]

well i only want it to play when i have a joker of a certain rarity

which is already in there

[daring fern]

Return it along side checking for that.

[hidden sable]

is there a way to make it so if a certain config/bool is true then give this joker a soul overlay
