[daring fern]

Yes.

[hidden sable]

how

[daring fern]

soul_pos = boolean and {x = number, y = number} or nil

[hidden sable]

oh awesome

by any chance is there a way to designate a soul atlas, if not that's fine just wanna know if it's a thing

[hasty mist]

what in this code is causing this to upgrade hundreds of times

[red flower]

not in the definition at least

[hasty mist]

im not sure where to even put my repetition check

[red flower]

it's not in a context

[formal quest]

So I'm hooking create_card to replace planet cards as they're created, and my code is causing a crash I don't really understand

local create_card_ref = create_card
function create_card(...)
    --pre
    local result = create_card_ref(self, ...)
    --post
    if next(SMODS.find_card("j_givl_spaghettification", false)) and result.ability.set == "Planet" then
        for _, value in ipairs(SMODS.find_card("j_givl_spaghettification", false)) do
            if pseudorandom('j_givl_spaghettification') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / value.ability.extra.odds then
                return create_card("c_black_hole")
            end
        end
    end
    return result
end

[hasty mist]

oh

right

[subtle merlin]

Quick question: How can I tell if a card has no seal, no enhancement, and no edition?

[hasty mist]

what context should i even use, just joker_main? before?

[urban wasp]

...like this? this just makes it always play

SMODS.Sound({
    key = "music_all",
    path = "music_all.ogg",
    select_music_track = function()
        local count = #Cryptid.advanced_find_joker(nil, "crp_all", nil, nil, true)
        if count ~= 0 then
            return 1.7e308
        else
            return 0
        end
    end,
})

-# btw cryptid is a dependency which is why i'm using their function

[red flower]

create card doesn't take self

[daring fern]

Return false instead of 0

[urban wasp]

ah

[red flower]

that black hole return is also wrong

[red flower]

what's the effect?

[daring fern]

Where is the code that puts all of G.vouchers.cards in the run info vouchers?

[red flower]

not card.seal and not card.edition and not next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card))

[hasty mist]

upgrades if played hand is exactly two 2s

[formal quest]

What's wrong with it?

[red flower]

thats not how you use create_card

[daring fern]

Because it doesn't seem to be in G.UIDEF.used_vouchers.

[red flower]

context.before makes sense

[formal quest]

How should I use it here?

[red flower]

I don't remember the arguments for create_card off the top of my head but also you probably shouldn't be using create_card inside create_card

my honest opinion is that create_card is one of those functions that you shouldn't mess with if you don't know what you're doing, but if you still want to do it try to learn what it does first

[formal quest]

Is there another way I can replace the card with another as it's created?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[red flower]

What's the intended effect?

[formal quest]

If the joker succeeds its roll, the planet card will be a black hole. This applies anywhere, not just booster packs, hence why I'm not trying to modify the vanilla spawn chance.

[formal quest]

^

[daring fern]

I think you would hook Card:set_ability

[formal quest]

Idk, @red flower told me to hook create_card but maybe this is suited to what I'm doing more specifically

[red flower]

i think it's a somewhat complicated effect

the thing that replaces planets with black hole is create_card usually

[turbid field]

Is it possible for me to code the re-drawing of an already just scored card back into hand?

I ask because I want to make this joker idea of mine functional

Just curious, because if an already played/discarded card is untouchable in the code until the next round starts, im boned

[shell timber]

it is possible

i think Victin did something like this

though they seem to be offline

[turbid field]

ok awesome

I just hope it isn't too tedious of an implementation

[formal quest]

How should I do it then? I just need a way to modify the type of the card. I would assume changing one of the args in pre would do that.

[daring fern]

Yes, but I was looking how Entropy replaces cards with their inverts, and it seems to hook Card:set_ability.

[formal quest]

create_card_ref.forced_key = "c_black_hole"?

[daring fern]

No.

[bitter portal]

bump

Also, how do I prevent my modded Edition from showing up on playing cards?

[formal quest]

Why

[daring fern]

local oldsetability = Card.set_ability
function Card:set_ability(center, initial, delay_sprites)
    if conditions and self and self.config and self.config.center and center and center.set == "Planet" then center = G.P_CENTERS["c_black_hole"] end
    return oldsetability(self, center, initial, delay_sprite)
end
```?

[formal quest]

I'll give it a try. What's "conditions" do?

[daring fern]

You replace it with checking for the joker and the pseudorandom check.

[cursive sentinel]

i tried patching mid line but it doesnt seem to work like this, what have i done wrong?

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'card.lua'
match_indent = true
position = 'after'
pattern = '''
(100-G.GAME.discount_percent)
'''
payload = '''
*G.GAME.grogoroth
'''

tried to patch self.cost = math.max(1, math.floor((self.base_cost + self.extra_cost + 0.5)*(100-G.GAME.discount_percent)/100))

[daring fern]

You have to patch the entire line.

Or use regex I think.

[cursive sentinel]

so rewriting it? what an overwrite patch looks like if i may ask?

ive only ever added stuff in patches

[daring fern]

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'card.lua'
match_indent = true
position = 'at'
pattern = '''
self.cost = math.max(1, math.floor((self.base_cost + self.extra_cost + 0.5)*(100-G.GAME.discount_percent)/100))
'''
payload = '''
self.cost = math.max(1, math.floor((self.base_cost + self.extra_cost + 0.5)*(100-G.GAME.discount_percent)*G.GAME.grogoroth/100))
'''

[cursive sentinel]

ok so position at changes pattern to payload

thanks !

[vague crest]

how would i check if the player has a consumable?

[shell timber]

next(SMODS.find_card("c_whatever"))

[vague crest]

would i just leave the brackets empty if it doesnt have to be a specific consumable?

[wheat jewel]

Does the game allow jokers to change card suits when scoring cards?

tryna know for a joker i'm making

[shell timber]

oh if you want any consumeable you can just do #G.consumeables.cards >= 1

[vague crest]

for context im looking to check if the player has one and if it does itll destroy the consumable and give a random card an edition

actually i can just look at how tobi the corgi does it

and its soooo simple im rejoicing

[leaden hollow]

can someone help me with this? it almost works in game, except the joker pops up with the message 'ERROR' and the effect doesn't work:

    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.chips}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_suit(card.ability.extra.suit) then
            context.other_card.ability.perma_bonus = (context.other_card.ability.perma_bonus or 0) + card.ability.extra.chips
            return{
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                message = localize('k_added_ex'),
                color = G.C.CHIPS
            }
        end
    end,

[formal quest]

Something's wrong. Even after removing most of the conditions it doesn't do anything.

local oldsetability = Card.set_ability
function Card:set_ability(center, initial, delay_sprites)
    if self and self.config and self.config.center and self.ability and self.ability.set == "Planet" then
        --for _, value in ipairs(SMODS.find_card("j_givl_spaghettification", false)) do
            --if pseudorandom('j_givl_spaghettification') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / value.ability.extra.odds then
                center = G.P_CENTERS["c_black_hole"]
            --end
        --end
    end
    return oldsetability(self, center, initial, delay_sprite)
end```

[daring fern]

Remove self.ability and self.ability.set == "Planet" and replace it with center and center.set == "Planet"

[vague crest]

i have a card here that gives editions to playing cards before the hand is scored but it's not scoring the editions as part of the hand yet, does anyone know a fix?

[daring fern]

Code?

[vague crest]

yup

[daring fern]

Move it out of the event.

[vague crest]

oh is it that simple ok

works beautifully YIPPEE ty

[wheat jewel]

bumping this

if jokers are unable to change suits then i guess imma think of a new effect

[cursive sentinel]

is assets = resources ?

[cursive sentinel]

i think you can

[cursive sentinel]

in the file hierarchy

bcs in base game is resources

[daring fern]

No.

[cursive sentinel]

then where shall i put a "sounds" file?

[wheat jewel]

If that's the case, How could i do so

cuz i'm lost

[daring fern]

assets/sounds

[cursive sentinel]

try looking at midas mask code

[wheat jewel]

I did make some changes by looking at sigil but it ain't workin

[cursive sentinel]

i did this, i get a crash, shall i post the crash report?

[daring fern]

Yes, and code?

[daring fern]

Firstly, use pseudorandom, Secondly, put suit in card.ability.extra.suit

[cursive sentinel]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
    G.GAME.grogoroth = G.GAME.grogoroth * 2
    play_sound("alllmer")
    print("double")
    for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do
        if v.set_cost then v:set_cost() end
    end
return true end }))

Oops! The game crashed:
Thread error (Thread: 0x028ccd337e70)

[daring fern]

You need your mod prefix.

[cursive sentinel]

ahhh

so "drx1_alllmer" ?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[cursive sentinel]

thanks !

[formal quest]

Yes

[formal quest]

You must be new to modding to make an assumption like this

[wheat jewel]

This is what I have atm

[cursive sentinel]

context end of round and context main eval dont suit together no?

[formal quest]

It works now, thanks for all the help

[cursive sentinel]

if he's trying to changes suits within a played hand, context end of round kind ruins it

[wheat jewel]

Kindaaa yeah lol

[urban wasp]

why isn't there a space here?

[lunar finch]

When I make a main.lua text doc is the type supposed to change?

[cursive sentinel]

if context.before
and not context.blueprint then
    your color find stuff
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            context.scoring_hand[1]:juice_up()
            return true
        end
    }))
end

the juice up is just for juicy

[urban wasp]

the file extension should be .lua

it shouldn't be "main.lua.txt"

[lunar finch]

Its just main.lua but it says its a text doc

[daring fern]

Do you have file extensions enabled?

[urban wasp]

enable file extensions in explorer (assuming you're using windows)

[wheat jewel]

I think this should be right?

[cursive sentinel]

btw maybe is better to do the math.random before, like "colornum = math.random(1,4)", then do your "if colornum == 1 else if colornum == 2 etc"

i dont think you need "context.main_eval" at all

i may be wrong tho

[lunar finch]

File name extensions or just file extenstions

[urban wasp]

should be the same thing

[lunar finch]

Okok

[cursive sentinel]

still doesn't find it

[lunar finch]

That worked thank you

[cursive sentinel]

the line is play_sound("drx1_alllmer")

[hasty mist]

why cant i eval calculate using arrows

[daring fern]

What is the SMODS.Sound definition?

[cursive sentinel]

wdym?

[daring fern]

You need to do (to_big(50))

[daring fern]

Did you not define an SMODS.Sound?

[cursive sentinel]

i need to?

[hasty mist]

still no

[cursive sentinel]

im sorry, never added sound 😔

[hasty mist]

wait

nvm

i got it

[cursive sentinel]

so i need to do a smods.sound for each sound i wanna add?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[cursive sentinel]

alright, thanks !

[vague crest]

one last little bugfix before bed hopefully; it works well but theres unintended behavior where the shop slots disappear the moment you sell it, which creates some annoying moments where you sell the joker to replace it with something else, and then that something else goes away. whats the fix for something like this?

[urban wasp]

what's a synonym for like a really really small hill

-# no not a mound

[daring fern]

You can't have spaces in text with a background.

[urban wasp]

is there a workaround?

[wheat jewel]

How could i randomize suits using pseudorandom

[urban wasp]

like could i just make a loc_var that's just " " and use that or

[daring fern]

You set the colour again after the spaces.

[urban wasp]

i want the space to have that background though; i don't want it to be cut off

[daring fern]

pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Suits, "seed").key

[daring fern]

Perhaps you could have a character that is the same colour as the background?

[urban wasp]

this might work

[serene granite]

ok this is kinda random but im just curious, is it possible to create a custom deck that forces the shop to have only jokers of one kind of rarity

[vague crest]

to clarify here i mean like, rerolling to destroy it works fine i'd just like to change it so that if you sell it the items that were there previously dont vanish

[urban wasp]

it's possible but probably not easy

[urban wasp]

it's so close

mmm

[daring fern]

Yes.

[urban wasp]

also you can very very very slightly see the m there lol

[serene granite]

any idea how that would work or look, mind you i havent even touched making a custom deck, just kinda thinking for the future

[daring fern]

Perhaps you would hook get_current_pool and check if that deck is enabled?

[serene granite]

ooh

are there any good mod examples with custom decks

[urban wasp]

i'm looking to change a part of cryptid code when my mod is installed but i'm unsure on how to do it because most examples i've seen of lovely patching are on vanilla or smods functions. how do i tell lovely to look at a file in a different mod?

[daring fern]

target = '=[SMODS modid "path/from/root.lua"]'

[serene granite]

i cant find the steamodded guide for decks

[daring fern]

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

[serene granite]

why is it called back? i guess that confused me sorry

wait idk if thats what im looking for

[urban wasp]

so like

target = '=[SMODS Cryptid "lib/content.lua"]'

[daring fern]

Yes.

[urban wasp]

oh

i'm sobbing 😭

the switch-up is just too funny

i love the unintended humor

what's this?

[serene granite]

heyy so i am working on my jokers that are kind of like certificate, and they work rly well finally but only problem is im realizing that the cards arent appearing in the deck / full deck. i can still draw them as if they are in the deck but i cant see them in there, any advice?

                return nil, true
            end
        end,

[daring fern]

Replace SMODS.create_card with SMODS.add_card

[serene granite]

ohhh

[serene granite]

ok well that worked but the card is showing up and scoring like its flipped?? so weird

[daring fern]

Code?

[serene granite]

its the same code, i just changed the word create to add

also its too big for me to send on discord which is annoying

[urban wasp]

"Upload message as file"

[languid canopy]

hi there, this is my code for a boss that debuffs all cards but desactivates when a consumable is used or sold, but it doesn't work (doesn't crash, the debuff part works but not the disactivation part), can you guys give a little help ?

[serene granite]

also the certificate example uses create card, so im surprised that doesnt just work

[daring fern]

It's context.card.abililty.consumeable also it is context.using_consumeable also you don't have to check the set for context.using_consumeable

[urban wasp]

confused

[tepid coral]

Just started modding Balatro recently and I am enjoying it so far

[gaunt thistle]

you need to either escape the quotes inside of the target string or use ''' instead of "

[urban wasp]

ah

okay it work now

okay it doesn't work now

spawning a mythic joker doesn't change anything...

oh well hmm this is like thought to be in cryptid's code by the game right
so it doesn't find the rarity cuz it's not in cryptid

possibly? i'm not sure to be honest

if that is the case, how do i fix?

[hollow crest]

guys what's the G and where can I find the references

I've been seeing stuff like G.GAME but idk what they are

[maiden phoenix]

If you're on VSCode do Ctrl+shift+f and look for "self.GAME" iirc

[hollow crest]

nvm I found them in one of the luas in the exe

[bitter portal]

bump

[molten musk]

i want a lovely injection example or docs? like smods

[hidden sable]

i finally realized something, the reason it causes a stack error is because 1 blueprint is multiplying its own blueprint power by the amount of blueprints there are in the chain, so instead of other_card being a blueprint, i need to check if other_card is a blueprint and check down the chain for the actual card to trigger that instead

i would just check the a lot infront of the blueprint, and if it's another blueprint, then add 1 to the slot to check?

i can do that with a for loop for the #G.jokers right?

[bitter portal]

#💻・modding-dev message
bump

[river apex]

Is it possible to make a joker that trigger its effect X times where X is calculated before the activation ? (but changes each round like a random value for example)
Like a Chad but for himself (giving +chips for example) and the number is random each times ?

[faint yacht]

Perform the calculation and set a value on the Joker itself in context.before (or context.setting_blind for round-specific randomization), then you'll have to nest the desired effects.

[river apex]

What does it mean ?
If a want to add a bonus it is usually a return that I use
But if I want to have the effect multiple times I cannot just return with "repetition" right ?

[lament agate]

SMODS.Shader doesnt exist?

[hardy viper]

as far as i can tell all they take is a key and a path

[lament agate]

gotcha

got an error saying attempt to index "shader"

[maiden phoenix]

Try adding your mod prefix to the shader value in edition?

[hardy viper]

yup needs prefix

[lament agate]

pray for me

After much pain i made it work (second toggle)

[daring fern]

Probably by hooking Card:set_edition.

[bitter portal]

wtf there's no way thats how they do it for something like negative

Negative doesnt show up on regular playing cards

[unborn bay]

smods adds negative playing cards

as for that factoring under wof, wof is hardcoded to only give foil, holo or poly

[bitter portal]

huh... i havent seen them show up in card packs

[formal parrot]

That’s not what they meant

[daring fern]

Yes, it uses the _no_neg parameter on poll_edition

[bitter portal]

well then....

This is what i get for making an edition that gives card limit 😭

the translations are messed up on non joker cards too...

[red flower]

yeah negative is pretty hardcoded

[bitter portal]

and i spent so long on that shader too...

[unborn bay]

the hard part about making a shader is making the shader

[bitter portal]

okay welll. i have no ideas, but surely one of you can think of something else to do for "scafold" cards

[proper tangle]

hello! i'm attempting to make a joker that is similar to 8 ball; does anyone have a recreation of its code that i could use?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/1b4ea069ada01eb25fd41d79e6b951960879f87f/src/jokers.lua#L576

[proper tangle]

ty!

yeah the card i'm trying to make is 8 ball but "8" -> "Spade" and "Tarot" -> "Code"

so that should be pretty easy

[small tartan]

Basically 2 scaffold do 1 slot extra?

[bitter portal]

Yeah

But im looking to change it to something else entirely

[small tartan]

How Easy is to make them scaffold? Because negative surclasses it if it's not super easy

[bitter portal]

Because anything negative-esque is broken/super hardcoded and requires extra work I don't want to do

[bitter portal]

They are less rare than negatives

[rose wasp]

is overriding internal logic (like saving to file and counting chips) available to modify from steamodded? i want to implement my idea at https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1389894638135148574 as a fun programming challenge, but im not sure if its possible with current modloaders (i could just modify sources and make binary patch, but its not that fun and flexible)

[bitter portal]

But they don't have any tags or cards to "make" something scaffold

[small tartan]

You could do if you have 3+ scaffolds, every scaffold gives you mult or something

[bitter portal]

Ooh maybe

[small tartan]

Check talisman mod, since talisman changes naneinf limit etc

[rose wasp]

oh, it already uses my idea in implementation, thanks for pointing to this mod

[primal terrace]

For my Joker, I just substitute any Negative playing cards for Foil cards when they are spawned, except when Cryptid is installed

[proper tangle]

does anyone know what the message should be for adding a code card? i know adding a tarot card is localize("k_plus_tarot"); is adding a code card localize("k_plus_code")?

(cryptid mod)

[primal terrace]

The stuff that Cryptid adds has the prefix cry_

[proper tangle]

ah

got it, cry_plus_code

one last thing: how might i add my custom joker at the beginning of the run (so i can test it easier)?

[manic rune]

download debug plus

press 3 on your joker in the collection menu

[proper tangle]

ah gotcha

[rotund sable]

how do i make a retrigger joker like chad from cryptid? i looked at his code but he uses contexts that i can't find anywhere in patches etc.

i want to retrigger jokers of specific rarity

[manic rune]

context.retrigger_joker?

its in smods

[pastel kernel]

What’s the snippet for leveling up poker hands? (All hands in this case)

[thorn furnace]

Bump

[rotund sable]

it's all in smods ;-;

[daring fern]

No, it's context.retrigger_joker_check

[manic rune]

:3

fuck

anyways, yeah, its context.retrigger_joker_check, context.other_card refers to the card its checking and returning repetitions = x will retrigger that joker by that amount of times i think

[daring fern]

if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card.config.center.rarity == rarity then return {repetitions = 1} end

[normal crest]

Hi bepis

[normal crest]

Talisman 🤮

[manic rune]

truly

just to be sure, the first card in G.deck.cards will be drawn first right?

[red flower]

no

the last

[manic rune]

i see

must be the middle one then, thanks :3

[red flower]

just to be clear i wasnt being sarcastic lol

[manic rune]

.

why????

why is it the last one

[red flower]

probably so the animation looks better or something

[manic rune]

im gonna cry

anyways, thanks, yeah i thought that was sarcastic because of how weird that sounded 😭

[rare torrent]

how do i make this only trigger if the only scoring card is an ace? calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then local hand = context.full_hand if #hand == 1 and hand[1].base.value == 14 then return { mult = 5, card = self } end end end it's currently doing nothing

[daring fern]

card = card not card = self also context.other_card:get_id() == 14

[red flower]

card.base.value is the rank key iirc, not the id

[rare torrent]

ok yeah that was it thank you very much!

[solid grotto]

How do I access my localization? I feel like I'm misinterpreting something because the localization page on smods wiki is not at all in depth

[idle plaza]

Also check for not SMODS.has_no_rank(context.other_card), else a Stone Ace will work, for example.

[solid grotto]

I just cannot make the decription show up

[red flower]

the key in loc needs to be j_modprefix_key

[solid grotto]

Do I need j_ on everything

[ocean goblet]

via what context would i check for a blind being defeated/won

[red flower]

just the localization key

[solid grotto]

Every joker I mean

I know blinds are bl_

And such

[red flower]

context.end_of_round

[red flower]

yes

the prefixes are in the docs

[proper tangle]

ty everyone!! will add more to this but for right now i'm happy :3

[ocean goblet]

got it. in that case, how would i check for the blind's specific type?

[idle plaza]

card.base.id, and its rank and suit information in general, are always present. "Stone Card" is just some enhanced card that has such information hidden from the player, but it always still exists and can be accessed by code, even by accident.

[ocean goblet]

i wanna check for essentially any type that isnt small blind or big blind

[daring fern]

Yes, Card:get_id() accounts for that.

[idle plaza]

Oh ok

[solid grotto]

Docs?

[red flower]

G.GAME.blind:get_type()
also G.GAME.blind.boss for the boss blinds

[red flower]

the docs: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki

[solid grotto]

I was wondering if you were referring to some other document

I see

Still no description despite adding the j_ prefix

[daring fern]

Code?

[red flower]

show more of the localization file too

[bold sleet]

Chat, question: Is there a way to grab the base of a card from one atlas and the soul layer from a different one?

[red flower]

in the definition, no

[solid grotto]

This is all my localization for my jokers

And one of my jokers

[red flower]

i said only j in the localization

[ocean goblet]

thanks mate :D

[solid grotto]

Ohhhh

[bold sleet]

[red flower]

[lament agate]

desc showing Xnil despite being declared already

[red flower]

you put mult instead of xmult

[lament agate]

wait

nevermind

yeah

kill me already

i feel old

im 18

[solid grotto]

Okay, so I removed the j_ prefix from the joker code and kept it in the local
But I sitll get no desc

[red flower]

is your mod prefix correct

also while this is probably not the issue as smods removes it, i would recommend not adding the prefix manually to the keys

[solid grotto]

Idk what dod it

Did it

But it works now lol

I guess removing my mod prefix from the key was the solution

[stiff quiver]

so um, random question, in a scale of 1-10 how hard is it to create a cardarea and a context?

and how would i do it?

[formal parrot]

7

Card area with Ui

[stiff quiver]

thats way lower than what i expected

[formal parrot]

Idk about custom context tho

[ocean goblet]

is there documentation for all the global game variables and stuff like this? i've been prodding at the steamodded documentation

[bold sleet]

Anyone maybe?

[red flower]

cardarea depends on what you want it to do
context 1

[red flower]

mostly no
theres this https://github.com/Steamodded/Wiki/pull/30

[stiff quiver]

cardarea i just want it to hold jokers outside of where jokers are held, its for a joker that stores jokers, if that makes sense

and the context is well, for triggering the jokes there

[formal parrot]

Aiko made something similar

STEAL HIS CODE 🔥

/j

Ask for permission

[pastel kernel]

Are we only supposed to use ogg files and not wav?

[stiff quiver]

i dont even know who Aiko is lol

[crisp coral]

yes, ogg is preferred

[stiff quiver]

but i'll see what they made and if it'd work for me i'll ask them to use their code

[crisp coral]

wav is usable but has large filesize

just never use mp3

[stiff quiver]

whats the mod they made it in?

[formal parrot]

#1388130016147017728

Fun fact the joker is named after me

:P

[ocean goblet]

ty :D

[knotty compass]

heya! question, anyone knows how to set cards rank to a random one?

[formal parrot]

Use math.random

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/1b4ea069ada01eb25fd41d79e6b951960879f87f/src/spectrals.lua#L405

[red flower]

no

never

[formal parrot]

Muhahahahahahaha

[knotty compass]

thanks

[pastel kernel]

I swear to fucking god if this doesn’t work

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT

Maybe if I turn off highest priestess

These poker cards, they better level up

[rotund sable]

"FirstTry" :clueless:

[pastel kernel]

I’m named after Lego Batman

“Attempt to compare number with table”

[rotund sable]

Last time I had this error was with Talisman installed

[red flower]

yeah poker hand levels are tables with talisman

if thats what youre doing

[pastel kernel]

Or if played hand contains one.

[red flower]

whats the code

[pastel kernel]

        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.scoring_name == 'Flush' and not context.blueprint then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.4,
                func = function()
                    play_sound('dd1_lovin')
                    card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                    update_hand_text({ sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.9, delay = 0 },
                        { level = 'x' .. to_big(card.ability.extra.multiplier) })
                    for poker_hand_key, hand in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
                        local current_level = hand.level or 1
                        local levels_to_add = math.max(0, math.floor(current_level * (card.ability.extra.multiplier - 1)))
                        if levels_to_add > 0 then
                            level_up_hand(card, poker_hand_key, true, levels_to_add)
                        end
                    end
                    update_hand_text({ sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0 },
                        { mult = 0, chips = 0, handname = '', level = '' })
                    return true
                end
            }))

it can also disable bosses, they're meant to be character accurate to the real dark donald.

[red flower]

yeah its this part

talisman wont like those two lines

[pastel kernel]

what do i do?

[red flower]

try wrapping all of them in to_big

[daring heron]

[formal parrot]

Check text styling on the wiki

[red flower]

these zeroes too

[pastel kernel]

What do I do

[red flower]

to_big(0)

[pure salmon]

someone submitted this bug report

for some reason, it only happens when you have 5 cards above the hand size limit, and at least one temporary card

under these conditions, using immolate crashes the game

the culprit is this table.sort function

i can't figure out why this would crash the game though

[red flower]

usually that error means that there can be two sort orders for the same array iirc

do you add a playing_card to your temp cards

[pure salmon]

yeah there has to be temporary cards in your hand for the crash to happen

[pastel kernel]

What

[red flower]

?

[pure salmon]

strangely the error doesn't happen if you TURN cards into the temporary edition with debugplus

just if they're created by an ephemeral

[red flower]

yeah, thats why i asked if you fill card.playing_card

[pure salmon]

oh

to be honest i don't exactly understand what that does but i'll try it

[red flower]

should be like this

[pure salmon]

ohhh that second line is the one i'm missing

[pastel kernel]

what the fuck

[pure salmon]

i see, it assigns every playing card a unique integer value for sorting

so when immolate calls table.sort the game sees cards with the same value and crashes

[pastel kernel]

this is all from one flush.

[red flower]

you forgot the context check

like context.before or something

[daring heron]

Average

[pastel kernel]

like this?

        if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play and context.scoring_name == 'Flush' and not context.blueprint then

[red flower]

yeah but remove the and context.cardarea == G.play

[bold sleet]

Help, animated atlas is not going

-- Atlas tm
SMODS.Atlas {
    key = 'oscillator_atlas',
    path = 'oscillator_joker.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
    atlas_table = "ANIMATION_ATLAS",
    frames = 2
}

-- inside whatever joker
        atlas = "oscillator_atlas",
    pos = { y = 0},

[red flower]

also this doesnt work if it contains a flush

[pastel kernel]

also how do i make it into "if it contains a flush"

[red flower]

instead of that do next(context.poker_hands["Flush"])

[red flower]

jokers cant have animation atlas

[bold sleet]

god

dammit

[rotund sable]

@bold sleet

[pure salmon]

thank you very much n' the crash is resolved

i would have had no idea to do that

[bold sleet]

thanks!

[rotund sable]

Fps can be moved as a local variable inside the update function

[bold sleet]

was gonna 'fix' it with repeating events lmao

[rotund sable]

Mod 40 is the frames in animation

[pastel kernel]

How do I make it so that it doesn’t show a small “lvl. 12” pop up at the end

[rotund sable]

Like it stays?

And you don't want it?

SMODS.smart_level_up it was I think

[pastel kernel]

Anytime it levels up all poker hands

It shows a random “Lvl. 12” at the end

Then it disappears

[rotund sable]

SMODS.smart_level_up_hand

[ocean goblet]

how would i go about adding a specific extra card to the selection of a booster pack when it is opened?\

[pastel kernel]

What line?

[rotund sable]

?

I assume you're just using level_up_hand

[pastel kernel]

  calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and next(context.poker_hands["Flush"]) and not context.blueprint then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({

                delay = 0.4,
                func = function()
                    play_sound('dd1_makudonarudo')
                    card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                    update_hand_text({ sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.9, delay = 0 },
                        { level = 'x' .. to_big(card.ability.extra.multiplier) })
                    for poker_hand_key, hand in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
                        local current_level = hand.level or 1
                        local levels_to_add = math.max(0, math.floor(current_level * (to_big(card.ability.extra.multiplier) - 1)))
                        if levels_to_add > to_big(0) then
                            level_up_hand(card, poker_hand_key, true, levels_to_add)
                        end
                    end
                    update_hand_text({ sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0 },
                        { mult = 0, chips = 0, handname = '', level = '' })
                    return true
                end

            return {
                message = localize('k_level_up_ex'),

                card = card
            }
        end

replace level_up_hand?

[rotund sable]

That fixed it for me

SMODS.smart_level_up_hand

[lament agate]

whats the name for rare tag

[red flower]

tag_rare iirc

[ocean goblet]

is there a way to check the specific type of a booster pack that has been opened?

[formal parrot]

Wrong chat

[red flower]

context.open_booster and context.card.config.center.kind == [kind] iirc

[ocean goblet]

tried this and it error'd unfortnately

[red flower]

whats the error

[small tartan]

Guys since the abandoned deck function is hardcoded, how can i make a deck spawn with ranks i want only?

[quick kraken]

You look at what abandoned deck does and do something similar

[lament agate]

is this right

[small tartan]

It's a hardcoded function and I can't figure out where the specific function is

[quick kraken]

How does one check whether a card is enhanced at all?

[small tartan]

G.GAME.starting_params.no_faces

It's this

[quick kraken]

I tried #(SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card, false)) > 0 but it didn't work

[quick kraken]

idk what to tell you beyond look in the source code

[red flower]

no

add_tag(Tag("key"))

[red flower]

next(SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card))

[quick kraken]

And that returns a boolean?

[small tartan]

Sigh... Thanks anyways tho!

[quick kraken]

or nil upon no enhancements?

[lament agate]

oh shit

whats the key tho

tag_rare?

[red flower]

it returns the next enhancement or nil so it's like a boolean

[lament agate]

@red flower how do you detect if the chips is higher than the mult

in the scoring

operator

[red flower]

hand_chips > mult ?

thans

[primal robin]

to_big

@red flower to make KQJ dissolve, and 8,9,10 (with change_base) into FCR (my custom ranks)?

Second question, should i do Prefix_F, prefix_C etc?

[zealous glen]

What’s the toilet paper for

[lament agate]

i have no idea

either way

it doesnt output the chips

any idea?

[red flower]

1. whats the question
2. yes

[small tartan]

Oops i didnt wrote the question "what function should i use?"

[red flower]

where

[small tartan]

Like to make KQJ dissolve

[red flower]

joker? consumable?

[small tartan]

The cards in the deck

[red flower]

for what

[lament agate]

bump

[small tartan]

Basically i want to turn AKQJ 10-2 into only A 10-2 and then turn 10,9,8 into FCR (custom)

[red flower]

i get that, for what? a joker? a consumable? a deck? a challenge?

[small tartan]

Ohhh Sorry, i'm doing a custom deck

[red flower]

probably :start_dissolve()? never worked with decks much sorry

[small tartan]

Oh okay, thanks anyways!!

    config = {

chips doesnt output

[red flower]

whats the intended effect

[lament agate]

chips and xchips if chip counter number higher than the mult one

[red flower]

at the moment the joker triggers?

[lament agate]

after calculating the cards i presume the easist

[red flower]

ok that doesnt do that

[lament agate]

ah shit

what do

[red flower]

remove these

[manic rune]

hand_chips and mult are global variables which represent the chips and mult at the time i think?

[lament agate]

oh ok

thats it?

[red flower]

maybe

[lament agate]

testing

it works!!

ty

do i really need to have SMODS.optional_features.retrigger_joker = true for retrigger jokers to work? because without this it isn't retriggering anything

[shell timber]

you do

[small tartan]

Sigh i'm going crazy

I May be stupid

[bold sleet]

help, my shit ain't doing stuff after all cards are scored and what not.

Am I stupid or is this shit lying to me?

and how fix

[red flower]

remove the cardarea check

[bold sleet]

Triggers instantly then.

Triggers the very second I play the hand.

unsurprisingly

[small tartan]

I can't figure out change_base correctly

[bold sleet]

send code or explain what you need help with

[red flower]

yeah, calculate runs all the scoring beforehand
if you want proper timing you need to use events

[bold sleet]

alright!

[small tartan]

Basically i have a deck with custom suits and custom ranks based on real italian decks

A 2-7 FCR instead of A 2-10 JQK

and i wanted to transform 8,9,10 into F, C, R and then remove KQJ

[bold sleet]

You are using modded ranks?

[daring fern]

In my defense, it's my First mod

[bold sleet]

At least you do some proper formatting.

[small tartan]

Sometimes, some other times it's a bit wonky

Depends if i'm coding on the go on my phone

[bold sleet]

erm

Thats not mine tho

I'm not so skilled XD

i think its better to use an uppercase global for convention but eh

[rotund sable]

i mainly use it for non-present talisman

[red flower]

oh i just open my mods folder when i work

[rotund sable]

also can you update links in JokerDisplay's wiki. it all has the wrong number

[quick scarab]

game seems to crash when I try to use this joker but it seems like it's not its fault

config = { extra = { Xmult_gain = 0.15, Xmult = 1 } },

            }
        end
    end,```

Also I'm trying to make a joker where it destroys a card with a specify Enhancement when scored

before the hand is played

[errant fulcrum]

I'm using Negate Texture Pack template as a base, but this doesn't seem to be working
SMODS.Atlas{key = "Seal", path = "Enhancers.png", px = 71, py = 95, prefix_config = { key = false } }

[red flower]

instead of if next(SMODS.has_enhancement("m_fnaf_pizza")), use if SMODS.has_enhancement(scored_card, "m_fnaf_pizza")

[hidden sable]

this is balanced right

wrong chat 😭

[small tartan]

Hi jo, Sorry if i ping you again. I finally got into github , so it's https://github.com/Kuroeks/BBB

[wheat jewel]

Tried to implement the code of telescope to detect if a planet card is associated with your most played hand but it doesn't proc the Xmult upgrade

[errant fulcrum]

What's the parameter for the badge name on seals?

Looks like it's label

[daring fern]

The variables at the top get set to nil and 0 every time a context is calculated.

[wheat jewel]

what should I set them to?

[daring fern]

No, you should move them to in the if context.using_consumeable check.

[wheat jewel]

Tried to move things around

added back the variables to the local variables i realized that

[wheat jewel]

Did some fixes but it's still not working

main issue is making the game check the type of planet card used and whether it's associated with your most played hand

[granite nymph]

does anyone know why the rank is not working?

the suit works now

[daring fern]

Have you tried printing some things?

[wheat jewel]

No i haven't

imma have to check what command allows for me to print to a console

[rotund sable]

print()

:o

[wheat jewel]

LOL

[wheat jewel]

What i want to know is what is the correct way to check the key of a consumable used

since that is what gets printed out

[granite nymph]

the rank isnt showing the description

[wheat jewel]

tried this but it doesn't work

[daring fern]

context.consumeable.config.center.key

[granite nymph]

ERRROR is supposed to be the rank

[wheat jewel]

It worked!! tysm

[idle plaza]

There is no ranks_plural localization category, only ranks

[granite nymph]

thank you!!!

[sullen brook]

So I'm a little confused... What is "juice_up" in the context of applying seals to a card? Is it the little wiggle it does?

[idle plaza]

Yes, it's just that little animation.

[sullen brook]

Appreciate it. I'm trying to figure out the ins and outs of consumables and how they apply certain statuses. Stuck (no pun intended) on stickers rn.

[hexed stump]

ohoho I finally have figured out stickers

[sullen brook]

@hexed stump So in this code snip, I've got code that applies a seal, then I'm trying to apply a perishable sticker, but it simply does nothing. I don't think I'm referencing the appropriate object, just not sure of the exact syntax to do so.

[red flower]

youre applying the sticker to the consumable

[hexed stump]

^

typing is slow bc my keyboard is unhappy

[sullen brook]

Ah, ok... Yeah, that sounds about right

[hexed stump]

I ccidentlly did that when I was first trying to apply stickers

[sullen brook]

card, in this case, is referencing the consumable card played

[hexed stump]

Yep

[red flower]

yes

[hexed stump]

So you'll want to specify the highlighted card instead

[sullen brook]

so instead of card, would I reference #G.hand.highlighted?

[red flower]

G.hand.highlighted[i]

[sullen brook]

[i] because of the for loop, which circles through all selected cards

[red flower]

exactly

[idle plaza]

# is for getting the number of items in an array.

[red flower]

\#

[hexed stump]

Okay I’m on my phone now though I’ve still gotta suffer through the keyboard for coding

[modern kindle]

hi N

[red flower]

hi D

[modern kindle]

how are you my friend buddy pal

[idle plaza]

Yeah I forgot about that markdown syntax, lmao

[red flower]

i am doing much better thankfully wbu

[red flower]

i always forget

[modern kindle]

hell yea, im very tired but im doing okay
wondering what i shall have for dinner tonight

went out and bought my little brother a wii power adapter causae he lost his

might this weekend go to another game shop and see if i can find anything good

[sullen brook]

@red flower @hexed stump Thanks a ton you two, been bashing my head against that for a bit now. Building the mod whilst also learning LUA and how to do all this at the same time is a bit of a challenge. This community is an absolute godsend.

[hexed stump]

Yeah everyone was nice and helpful when I started too

[frigid cargo]

Real

[hexed stump]

It’s a very nice place

[sullen brook]

Those perishable stickers aren't ticking down, but that's a struggle for another day. Gotta go do the 'merica day thing.

[modern kindle]

we gotta start being meaner

[hexed stump]

Don’t quote me on this but I think you need to set a value for it

[red flower]

there's also card:set_perishable() iirc

[hexed stump]

That’s probably better for vanilla stickers

[serene granite]

Hey N, remember when you helped me with the certificate like joker? for some reason, i just realized the cards are being added to my deck but i cant see them in my full deck screen

is there a reason for that, also sorry for bugging you so much haha

[red flower]

uhhh

i think i forgot to add that stuff when i switched to the smods function

let me test and fix it

[serene granite]

oo ok ! thank you

[chrome widget]

What's the field for the mod that a center originates from?

is it just center.original_mod?

[red flower]

im pretty sure yes

.mod is the last take ownership iirc

[chrome widget]

is the mod a string or is it the full mod object?

[red flower]

it's the full mod object

[chrome widget]

cool

[faint yacht]

.config.center.original_mod, yeah.

[red flower]

fixed!

[serene granite]

wait what was the fix?

for context, i'm patching into cryptid's lib/content.lua and making it so that if you have any of these rarities from my mod, the exotic music will also play. for some reason, exotic music doesn't play when any of these rarities are owned, and i'm stumped

[daring fern]

Why not just hook SMODS.Sounds.cry_music_exotic.select_music_track?

[red flower]

you need to add it to G.playing_cards basically

[urban wasp]

i've never done a hook before, but that'll probably work. any documentation on how to hook something?

[daring fern]

No.

[chrome widget]

Fanworks. I just finished up doing the 2.1.1 update for Cardsauce though

[wheat jewel]

I tried to implement DNA's code into a joker but i'm trying to make it duplicate multiple cards in a hand, but it only does one even in a for loop

[rotund sable]

if you use return it exits out of the funtion

[wheat jewel]

The copy return output or the return true when materializing a card?

[urban wasp]

did i do this wrong?

-- hook into the music_exotic select_music_track function thing to add more of my rarities
local original_select_music_track = SMODS.Sounds.music_exotic.select_music_track
SMODS.Sounds.music_exotic.select_music_track = function()
    return (original_select_music_track and original_select_music_track())

end

[daring fern]

Yes.

[urban wasp]

why is it crashing? what did i do wrong

[daring fern]

It's SMODS.Sounds.cry_music_exotic.select_music_track not SMODS.Sounds.music_exotic.select_music_track

[urban wasp]

ah

[wheat jewel]

So i'm guessing I should place it inside of where the copy is created?

[daring fern]

No, move it outside of the for loop.

[wheat jewel]

Gotcha!

should be working now

[serene granite]

hmm can you explain this a little more? how would i add the card to g.play_cards after?

[hexed stump]

💪 got my code in separate files finally no more scrolling down 1500 lines to work on an unrelated thing

[wheat jewel]

Is it possible to have stone cards also include their original card rank through a joker?

[tawdry oriole]

how do you create a custom info-queue? (rather than using a vanilla one)

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

You would create a custom localization entry and refer to that.

[tawdry oriole]

that i figured
i'm using info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {key = "mucho_tooltips_thecore", set = "Other"} in the loc_vars code of the joker (before the return) and the code itself in the localization is this one

return {
    Other = {
        mucho_tooltips_thecore = {
            name = "...",
            text = {{"..."},
            {"..."}}}
    }
}

yet this is what appears

[serene granite]

how do i call specific tags in smodded, i want to make orbital tags with a joker but idk what to call for that

also negative tags maybe

[red flower]

i think it would be better if you check what i added in vanillaremade haha

[serene granite]

ok will do !

[daring fern]

local orbital = Tag("tag_orbital")
orbital:set_ability()
add_tag(orbital)
```?

[serene granite]

and it would be the same for negatives?

[wheat jewel]

Did this but it doesn't work at the moment

[daring fern]

Yes, but tag_negative instead of tag_orbital

[wheat jewel]

fixing it atm

[daring fern]

Card:get_enhancement doesn't exist.

It would be SMODS.find_card instead of find_joker

[wheat jewel]

got it

[hardy viper]

from_omega

[daring fern]

Hooks shouldn't be in a joker.

[wheat jewel]

What i now did was with a scoring hand, it will check for if a card is a stone card, but i haven't been able to find any good info from other mods about how to set the id of a card

[daring fern]

No, it would be a hook of SMODS.has_no_rank

[wheat jewel]

Like this?

[daring fern]

No.

[wheat jewel]

Oh?

looking at the documentation on SMODS atm i get what has_no_rank does now

[wheat jewel]

I think this might work

[daring fern]

No.

[oblique pond]

if you have a showdown blind with an in_pool, do you have to re-make the only appears on multiples of win antes restriction

[daring fern]

local oldsmodshasnorank = SMODS.has_no_rank
function SMODS.has_no_rank(card)
    if next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) and SMODS.has_enhancement(card, "m_stone") then return false end
    return oldsmodshasnorank(card)
end

[wheat jewel]

Did this

[daring fern]

No.

Move it out of the joker.

[wheat jewel]

Ohhh gotcha

[chrome widget]

Is there an effective way to do alt win conditions for challenges?

[placid star]

does table.remove() accept a table named index instead of a position? (whoops)

[primal robin]

no

[maiden phoenix]

Maybe check if you're in said challenge and if the condition is met call win_game()

[chrome widget]

shrug guess so?

[round iris]

hello!! i am aware that for multi-part jokers you can set where their Atlas sprite is independently but i was curious to know if for different parts of a joker sprite you could set their screen position differently? trying to have the effect of a joker that mostly sits flush with normal jokers but has things happening independent of it and am not sure how to achieve such an effect without seperately controlling the screen positions of the different parts,,,

[thorn basin]

guys, do you know if there's a way to make the perma_bonus to apply extra mult instead of chips?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[thorn basin]

ooooh, there's a list of perma_bonuses

thank you!

[vague crest]

attempting to make a joker which either duplicates or destroys cards in played hand, chosen at random, and it just 9/10 times destroys every card?

is somethng off with the math here ive attempted so many times im refusing to believe its just that im just getting that luck every time

very occasionally it wont destroy one of the cards

i dont actually have the duplication set up yet but that shouldnt matter for this part

it seems to be a proper 1 in 2 if i only score one card so is the calculation maybe taking place more times than it should or something?

[vast night]

hi. i couldnt find anything so im asking here. where do i find the mods folder via SMODS?

[bold sleet]

---Simple function to check for any given chance.
---@param max number 1 in N chance, where N is `max`
---@return boolean success If the random chance succeeds
function FG.FUNCS.random_chance(max)
    if pseudorandom('mila', G.GAME.probabilities.normal, max) <= G.GAME.probabilities.normal then
        return true
    else
        return false
    end
end

Possibly this function could help you?

[daring fern]

Yes, it's triggering once for every scoring card.

[vague crest]

cool will try 🙏

[bold sleet]

Uh... you can open it from balatro. Where it lists all the mods and stuff.

hold on

[vast night]

yea ik but im trying to get is programatically

[bold sleet]

Ah uh...

[tepid crow]

what do you need it programatically for?

[vast night]

starting a new löve thread with code from another file

[vague crest]

ok wait this might not fix my issue, how would i get it to do the calculation for each card individually without messing with the math?

[daring fern]

Change the context check to if context.before

[vague crest]

OH wait i think i see

[daring fern]

SMODS.MODS_DIR?

[vast night]

i thought there was like SMODS.current_mod.mod_dir or smtn no?

like

[tepid crow]

current_mod doesn't always exist/isn't always properly defined

[vast night]

i remember using smtn but i just cant remind myself of it

[vast night]

its in most cases

[tepid crow]

Also, a thread instead of an event? What kinda stuff are we getting into?

[vast night]

while smods is loaded obv

[daring fern]

Do you want the current mods folder or do you want the Mods folder?

[vast night]

websockets and blocking functions
-# idk bruh 😭

[vast night]

the mod folder
-# i was mildly joking sry

[tepid crow]

good luck 😭

[unborn bay]

can't you like pass parameters to a love2d thread

you can just pass the current mod directory that way

[tepid crow]

yeah SMODS.MOD_DIR should work if you want the Mods folder

[vast night]

i need the mod directory to load the file 😭 (because smods.load_file runs the file afaik or am i dumb)

[tepid crow]

if you want the current mod's path there's SMODS.current_mod.path (current_mod is only defined the first time the file is ran)

[serene granite]

ok this is an idea for a joker i have but im not sure if its possible so im asking here to get an idea

is it possible to detect if the first two cards played in a full house are smaller than the last three, then have an effect happen if that is true?

[tepid crow]

also there is an SMODS.https if you need it

[vast night]

THATS what i was searching for tysm

[vast night]

i already found a ws module thanks tho :)

[thorn furnace]

Bump

I notice the error doesn't happen if I change the button function
But I have the function defined

[daring fern]

Yes.

[serene granite]

any idea what that would look like?
👉👈

[daring fern]

No.

[serene granite]

then how do u know its possible?

[hidden sable]

he just does

don't argue with the ways of mr poly bridge

he has all seeing knowledge

but only on if this are possible

[serene granite]

gosh ok

[maiden phoenix]

You check if your hand is a full house, you check your cards, get the min and max rank, check if the first two cards are equal to the min, gg

[serene granite]

ooo ok i like that approach, basically just checking the first 2 instead of all the cards twice kinda

[maiden phoenix]

I mean you specified "if the first two cards played in a full house is smaller than the last three"

[serene granite]

yeah i just wasnt thinking that way,

[limber blaze]

how i would do it is like

[maiden phoenix]

If the two small cards can be anywhere else that's a bit more complex

[limber blaze]

get the max rank of the first two and get the min rank of the last 3 and compare them

youd only need to check 1 thing that way

[serene granite]

hmmm so like compare the biggest rank of the first two to the smallest rank of the last three

[limber blaze]

yes

please correct me if this logic is bad

but im pretty sure it would work

[serene granite]

in my head i think that works

[fallow breach]

does anyone know where custom challenges go in the mod folder?

[serene granite]

thanks for the help, this joker will prob be the most complex one for me so i appreciate it

[red flower]

they're defined just like anything else like jokers and stuff, it's not a specific folder

[fallow breach]

okay i just wasn't sure

they just go in the main lua file then

[red flower]

yeah

[steel dock]

hi

[serene granite]

is it e_poly or e_polychrome

[daring fern]

e_polychrome

[serene granite]

thanks

    -- self - this seal prototype
    -- card - card this seal is applied to
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        -- main_scoring context is used whenever the card is scored
        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
            SMODS.create_card(set == 'Playing Card', area == G.hand, no_edition == true, rank == '7')

          }
      }
  }
}
return {
  n = G.UIT.ROOT,
  config = {padding = 0, colour = G.C.CLEAR},
  nodes = {
    { n = G.UIT.C, config = {padding = 0.15, align = "cl"}, nodes = {
        { n = G.UIT.R, config = {align = "cl"}, nodes = { sell } },
        { n = G.UIT.R, config = {align = "cl"}, nodes = { use } }
    }},
  }
}

If I comment out the definition for use, this code works fine. For context, I'm trying to add a "Use" button to Jokers

[errant fulcrum]

Can anyone tell me why this is spawning a card of a random rank
SMODS.add_card({set = 'Base', area = G.hand, no_edition = true, rank = '7'})

[red flower]

whats smods version

[errant fulcrum]

1.0.0-beta-0530b

[red flower]

update :3

[granite nymph]

colors dont work :(

[errant fulcrum]

Thanks

[proper tangle]

two questions:

1. how might i generate a random rank?
2. how might i create a joker that has to store five ranks and re-randomize them when a blind starts? (is there something similar that i could use as a base in cryptid?)

[granite nymph]

1. use vanilla remade's code for random rank jokers (eg: mail in rebate)
2. never sample from cryptid. use any other mod but cryptid

[proper tangle]

damn

[scarlet imp]

bump

[serene granite]

heyy so i am trying to make a joker that works kind of like faceless joker but instead of face cards, it works when steel cards are discarded, do i detect the steel cards being discarded using m_steel or is it something else? any advice for this

[crisp coral]

is it a hook or a patch

[scarlet imp]

this is a hook

[crisp coral]

does sell local exist

[granite nymph]

sample vanilla remade

if there’s a behavior a vanilla joker does always sample vanilla remade

[solemn shuttle]

how does one refer to the shop rate of a (custom) consumable? [im doing voucher stuff/adjusting said rate for context lmao]

i see in the docs that it's G.GAME[key:lower() .. '_rate'] [in the ObjectType page]
but

say the key for the consumable is nix_consume,

would i do G.GAME[nix_consume:lower() .. '_rate']
or use the prefix additionaly
-# so wsh_nix_consume

or am i missing smth here

[crisp coral]

hm

[scarlet imp]

it works if I comment out the local use definition

[crisp coral]

what's the crash

[daring fern]

No, you would do G.GAME.nix_consume_rate.

[solemn shuttle]

OHHH

[scarlet imp]

hang on, do I need to have can_use_joker defined somewhere in my code before I can use this? that might be what's causing it

[thorn basin]

does someone know which command is for getting the total value of chips scored from a played hand?
I was trying something like "card.ability.extra.chips = context.scoring_hand.chips" but I'm not sure if this would work...

[daring fern]

Yes.

[crisp coral]

looks like it

[serene granite]

i did i pretty much replaced the faceless stuff with steel stuff but nothing so thats why i am asking here

[solemn shuttle]

i see mb LOL,

that worked ty

[scarlet imp]

alrighty thank you guys

[daring fern]

local total = 0
for k, v in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
    total = total + v:get_chip_bonus()
end

[thorn basin]

can this also be applied to mult aswell?

[daring fern]

Yes, but it would be get_chip_mult instead.

[thorn basin]

aight

thx!

[glass scaffold]

pls explain how.

[daring fern]

It needs to be an ANIMATION_ATLAS

[glass scaffold]

yay, more document reading

[thorn furnace]

Noticed something weird with one of my UI buttons
The first time you click on it, it's all messed up
But the second time (and all times after), it works properly
Can't figure out why

[red flower]

u need to warm it up first

[thorn furnace]

wha

[red flower]

u need to punch it until it works like an old tv

[thorn furnace]

real

[red flower]

never seen that tho

[proper tangle]

how can i get a list of all ranks currently loaded?

not just all ranks available in the deck, but ALL ranks

[thorn furnace]

Almost perfect

[red flower]

SMODS.Ranks

[scarlet imp]

still getting crashes even after defining the can_use_joker function

[manic rune]

oddly enough this happened with input boxes before

[proper tangle]

ty!

[glass scaffold]

Ok, 2 issues now, but at least I avoid crashes.

Anyone know how to get both debuffs to work and to fix that ugly blind at the top left?

[thorn furnace]

o
wat was the fix for it then

[manic rune]

if its the same problem, then you want to force it to run :recalculate() again after its loaded

[red flower]

can i see the crash and the functions

[thorn furnace]

recalculate?

[manic rune]

yeah, basically making an ui reload itself

[thorn furnace]

o

like this?

ignore scale and h that was done to debug

[proper tangle]

notepad++ spotted!!

[manic rune]

you probably only need to use recalculate on it once

[scarlet imp]

function:

-- "Can use" function for Jokers
function Card:can_use_joker(any_state, skip_check)
    if not skip_check and ((G.play and #G.play.cards > 0) or
        (G.CONTROLLER.locked) or
        (G.GAME.STOP_USE and G.GAME.STOP_USE > 0)) then
            return false
    end
    if G.STATE ~= G.STATES.HAND_PLAYED and G.STATE ~= G.STATES.DRAW_TO_HAND and G.STATE ~= G.STATES.PLAY_TAROT or any_state then 
        
    end
    return false
end

I left the main section empty for now since I just want to make the button appear first

[thorn furnace]

o

[thorn furnace]

yea

[manic rune]

what does your button code look like

[red flower]

try

calculate = function(self, blind, context)
    if not blind.disabled then
        if context.debuff_card and context.debuff_card.area ~= G.jokers and
            (context.debuff_card:is_suit("Clubs") or context.debuff_card:is_suit("Spades")) then
            blind.triggered = true
            return {
                debuff = true
            }
        end
    end
end

[thorn furnace]

taking a screenshot instead of sending the code because it's 50 lines and i don't want to flood chat

i have it patched into the ui

[manic rune]

🤔 does it really need patching, i thought u can achieve the same with just hooks

[red flower]

it needs to be in G.FUNCS.can_use_joker specifically (also i would recommend adding your mod prefix to global functions specially if they have generic names like that)

[thorn furnace]

I've gained the impression that patching is just safer

/more compatible

[manic rune]

anyways, i think the func should be in G.UIT.B's config maybe?

[thorn furnace]

ultimately i want the mod to interfere with as little things as possible

[thorn furnace]

tru
so I would have a func in there that calls recalculate()?

[scarlet imp]

so should the full definition be
G.FUNCS.can_use_joker() or
G.FUNCS.Card:can_use_joker()

[manic rune]

mhm

[thorn furnace]

okii

[red flower]

1

[manic rune]

i have to go buy breakfast rq, if it still doesnt work uhhhhhh :3

[scarlet imp]

worked, thank youu

[glass scaffold]

working code.

you know how to fix this part?

(ignore the discord overlay.)

[red flower]

uhh maybe the image is the wrong size

like you put x1 in x2

[unborn bay]

this looks like you- FUCK

[glass scaffold]

Is it 17x17 or 34x34 for 1x?

[unborn bay]

its always 34x34

when did someone tell you that blind chips are 17x17

[scarlet imp]

alright last thing, the way it's formatted can I have a can_use and use function inside each specific card like for consumables, or do I need to place that inside the main section of this function?

[red flower]

i mean i havent read what youve done honestly

[glass scaffold]

i didn't know if 34x34 was for 2x or 1x.

[red flower]

i have that in my mod tho so its possible

[thorn furnace]

Would it not be like this
recalculate doesn't seem to be defined

[unborn bay]

wasn't it e.UIBox:recalculate() here or smth

[manic rune]

weird, it should be defined

[thorn furnace]

ohhh

[unborn bay]

i forgot idk

[manic rune]

🤔 the text input code only needed me to use e:recalculate()

maybe its different for this

[thorn furnace]

ill try

what

[manic rune]

damn

[red flower]

func is called every frame

[thorn furnace]

yea but it should only recalculate once

stack overflow implies that it broke via recursion or something

[red flower]

my guess was that recalculate called recalculate again when it defined func

but yeah it shouldnt reach there

[thorn furnace]

o

so I tried putting e.UIBox:recalculate() in the original function and it didn't even give me like an error message it just closed my game

[red flower]

yeah theres some overflowing situation going on

[daring fern]

The problem seemed to be that the values weren't being removed so when they were calculating they were also keeping the values of previous enhancements.

[final jewel]

what do I write after card = ... , if I want the message to be shown under the joker ?

[manic rune]

message_card = card?

[real night]

how do you give a poker hand a specific amount of chips or mult

[flat siren]

i have the opposite problem, i want the message to be under the card and not the joker

[vague crest]

if im creating a joker via another joker (for example riff raff) how would i give that joker a specific edition?

[manic rune]

you can add edition = "e_negative" inside SMODS.add_card

[final jewel]

yeah like that SMODS.add_card{key = "j_xxxxx", edition = "e_negative"}

[vague crest]

ohhh ok

[manic rune]

if you have card = card, message_card = card then you want to remove them

if its the same context

else uhhh message_card = just any card you want it to be shown under

[vague crest]

so if im adding just any random joker id do it like so?

[final jewel]

yeah

[manic rune]

looks like it
