don't put a period after brackets

so it should be

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "universal_joker",
    config = { extra = { h_mult = 1 } },
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 10,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    atlas = "placeholders",
    demicoloncompat = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                number_format(card.ability.extra.h_mult),
            },
        }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play or context.forcetrigger then
            return {
                G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name]mult = G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name]mult + card.ability.extra_h_mult
            }
        end
    end,
}

actually hold on

there's a few things odd here

one moment

okay @real night what's the intended effect here i'm quite confused

[daring fern]

Firstly, do if context.before or context.forcetrigger then, Secondly, move it out of the return.

[urban wasp]

i think it's meant to be cards held in hand

or something?

[daring fern]

No, that is required.

[urban wasp]

weird; i was told that when doing stuff here

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS["e_crp_four-dimensional"]

[urban wasp]

i mean there has to be a reason it's h_mult

i think that's the example in smods docs/example mod or something

unsure

[daring fern]

Then why are they checking for G.play?

[urban wasp]

that's true i mean we don't really know until poker answers

[real night]

no h_mult is hand base mult 😭

[urban wasp]

alright then

[real night]

im kinda fucky with balatro modding

ive never been good with it

[urban wasp]

this is good then

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "universal_joker",
    config = { extra = { h_mult = 1 } },
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 10,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    atlas = "placeholders",
    demicoloncompat = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { number_format(card.ability.extra.h_mult) } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if (context.before) or context.forcetrigger then
            G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].mult = G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].mult + card.ability.extra.h_mult
        end
    end
}

[tranquil axle]

question how do I use debug plus to give myself my custom spectral card to test?

[urban wasp]

hover over the card you want and click ctrl+3

or ctrl+c

[daring fern]

No, it's just 3.

[tranquil axle]

oooh ty

[urban wasp]

by default in latest versions, it's ctrl+3

i disabled that, but that's the default afaik

[tranquil axle]

pressing 3 for me worked

latest version

[urban wasp]

last time i updated, ctrl + 3 was the default configuration

[tranquil axle]

this is wrong but I might just leave it like this because it's funny

[urban wasp]

odd

[urban wasp]

ahh

[daring fern]

No.

[urban wasp]

#💻・modding-dev message

i swear

[tranquil axle]

hey question before this gets heated how do I tell balatro when I want my spectral card to be used?

which is whenever there's dealt cards

end result is create 1 copy of each card in hand

[urban wasp]

1. nothing's gettiong heated 😭 (to put of the flames)
2. you use a return on can_use

here i'll give an example

[tranquil axle]

ty

I started balatro modding all of 1 hour ago

[urban wasp]

for example, this just checks if you have enough joker slots for an item

can_use = function(self, card)
    return G.jokers and #G.jokers.cards < G.jokers.config.card_limit
end,

not entirely sure how it works but uhh it works

[idle plaza]

    can_use = function(self, card)
        return G.hand and #G.hand.cards > 0
    end,

[urban wasp]

what did you want in specific though

[tranquil axle]

this

[urban wasp]

when do you want it to not be able to be used

when there's no cards in hand?

[tranquil axle]

well it should just be able to be used whenever there's cards to duplicate

[urban wasp]

i'm having trouble thinking of a situation where that's not applicable to be honest

[tranquil axle]

like in the shop

or selecting a blind

no cards there

[urban wasp]

oh yeah that's fair

[tranquil axle]

okay I can now use it

but the code chatgpt gave me to duplicate the hand doesn't work (no shocker there)

[daring fern]

Then you would seem to be on DebugPlus version 1.0.0 or before?

[urban wasp]

i mean i've updated after that situation but likely so lol

i didn't know it was so long ago 😭

[tranquil axle]

use = function(self, card, area)
        for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    copy_card(chosen_card, G.hand.cards[i])
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
    end

okay got this, but that's cryptid replica code

[frozen smelt]

is there any sample code that includes probabilities?

[tranquil axle]

how do I simply duplicate the card?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/spectrals.lua#L779

[tranquil axle]

ooooohhh yeah ty

[hidden sable]

thought of an idea for a mod i could make that will be my first non base game mod: challenge blinds, every big blind will have an optional challenge blind which is basically a buffed up boss blind that if you beat you get crazy money but if you lose it basically just sends you to the regular boss blind with no cash, like skipping the blind but no tag

[frozen smelt]

i will also benefit from this thank you

[tranquil axle]

if you loose it should end run

*lose

[idle plaza]

Agreed. It'd be odd for the optional super-challenge to be less punishing than the normal Blind.

[tranquil axle]

okay with my 5 minutes of lua knowledge I have hopefully cobbled together some working code

it crashes again dangit

[idle plaza]

What's the current code and error?

[tranquil axle]

I think I got it

oh the error is extra in card.ability.extra.cards is nil

SMODS.Spectral {
    name = "shen-duplicate",
    key = "duplicate",
    pos = {
        x = 0,
        y = 1
    },
    cost = 10,
    atlas = "shen",

    end,
    use = function(self, card, area)

                        local _card = copy_card(G.hand.cards[i], nil, nil, G.playing_card)
                        _card:add_to_deck()

                        table.insert(G.playing_cards, _card)
                        G.hand:emplace(_card)
                        _card:start_materialize(nil, _first_dissolve)
                        _first_dissolve = true
                        new_cards[#new_cards + 1] = _card
                    end
                    SMODS.calculate_context({
                        playing_card_added = true,
                        cards = new_cards
                    })
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
    end
}

oh wait that's easy

don't need that line

because it should only make 1 copy not x

[idle plaza]

Yep

[tranquil axle]

IT WORKS

[frozen smelt]

can someone help and explain what pseudorandom ness means in the context of some vanilla card

[tranquil axle]

yeeeeeehawww

[frozen smelt]

pseudorandom('vremade_gros_michel') for example

why does it have a string in it

and can that be called anything?

[tranquil axle]

with 4 runs of this card I now have this

[idle plaza]

I don't know the exact reason, but it's presumably just some factor in whatever wacky math it uses to do randomness. The String can indeed be anything, pretty much all of my pseudorandom strings are just character quotes.

[tranquil axle]

this is the worst I've ever broken the game

time to play this disaster

[frozen smelt]

so its just like giving the randomness a name

its not based on anything specific?

is it just to use as reference

[tranquil axle]

oh wait this with perkeo......

welp I never said it would be balanced

okay question do I need to do anything else to make sure the spectral card appears in shop/packs or is it fine already?

[tranquil axle]

code here

a riff-raff just made another riff-raff didn't know that was possible

[hidden sable]

or at least how to apply them

[hidden sable]

it shouldn't

[idle plaza]

Not just a name. Rather, each character in the provided string is turned into a byte and filtered through math equations to create random outputs. (I just checked the code to be sure.)

The only exception is, if you just use 'seed', it'll use math.random() to create a random seed.

[hidden sable]

riff raff is uncommon right

[frozen smelt]

but regardless i can name it anything right?

[tranquil axle]

no it's common

[idle plaza]

Yes

[tranquil axle]

just thought it would be an exception

[frozen smelt]

okay good

thank you

[hidden sable]

it is? i thought it was uncommon

[tranquil axle]

uh in debug plus mod what keybind is it to delete a playing card in hand?

[hidden sable]

t

[tranquil axle]

went a little too overboard on my spectral card

[hidden sable]

R

R

R

R

mb gang

[tranquil axle]

neither works

its ctrl+t

no it's ctrl+r

100%

[idle plaza]

You can hold Tab to bring up a menu that shows controls and keyboard shortcuts and stuff.

[frozen smelt]

i have a question and its oddly specific but it bugs me

[tranquil axle]

well I just spammed ctrl+r, and... good-bye save I didn't need you

that wasn't my run for the past 2 days

[daring fern]

It can with a showman.

[tranquil axle]

yup it's 100% gone

great

[hidden sable]

i didn't know it was common that's why

[frozen smelt]

say i was playing the crypid mods and my card's value was changed, it's description mentioned it being able to retrigger card "1 additional time", it the 1 were to change to a 2, i'm assuming it would then say "2 additional time" (not plural)

is that avoidable

very specific but just wondering

[daring fern]

No, it would say 2 additional times

Cryptid has a function for that.

[frozen smelt]

thats awesome

thank you

[hidden sable]

"how can i make my joker blow up an orphanage"
"cryptid has a function for that"

[daring fern]

No, if an orphanage is a card then there would be a vanilla function for that.

[hidden sable]

there's no blow up vanilla function

only dissolve

[daring fern]

card:explode()

[hidden sable]

real?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hidden sable]

what does it do

[daring fern]

It's used for booster packs.

[hidden sable]

to do what

[idle plaza]

Presumably it's for the opening animation.

[frozen smelt]

if i put pseudorandom('dl_sticky_odds') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds would that work without having anything else?

because my probability code isn't working

hard to explain hold on

        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and pseudorandom('dl_sticky_odds') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds and context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
            return { repetitions = 1 }
        end
    end,```

here

why wouldn't this work?

wait i might know this one

[idle plaza]

Try without the additional context.individual check.

context.repetition doesn't need it.

[frozen smelt]

alright

i thought the issue was how i was calling everything at the same time as the probability check

might be easier to do the probability check then follow with everything else?

[hidden sable]

so it doesn't seem to would could can't work on ist das jokersltras

[frozen smelt]

just realising how much i did wrong

doing too much bruh

[idle plaza]

Order doesn't matter that much in this case. It's really up to you.

Also, this won't be necessary for function, but SMODS recently added a function, which makes compatibility with probability modifying effects from other mods easier. You can use SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'dl_sticky_odds', 1, card.ability.extra.odds)

[frozen smelt]

i wrote cardarea twice

i need sleep bro

[frozen smelt]

this is super handy

[daring fern]

No, that's not released yet.

[frozen smelt]

well when it does release

[daring fern]

No, it would be better if you did the probability check last.

[frozen smelt]

true

[frozen smelt]

if i wanted this to also affect cards in your hand what would i put here

like steels

[daring fern]

Remove context.cardarea == G.play

[frozen smelt]

alright i'll test it out

would that not also affect jokers?

[digital niche]

anyone here that knows lua in general, where in balatro code or SMODS is the code that makes for example "{C:green}" work?

[daring fern]

It would only affect playing cards because jokers use a different context.

[daring fern]

The loc_colour function.

[digital niche]

is this in smods or balatro itself?

[daring fern]

It's in vanilla balatro.

[digital niche]

tyty

this is just the different colour you can use, no?

[frozen smelt]

in the context of wording, do scoring cards include steel cards for example

and played being the ones you take out of your hand

played also counting as scoring cards ofc

[digital niche]

i meant like, the {C:} and {X:} part isnt a lua thing, i meant where in the code it is set to work so it gives the colour to your text if it have the {C:} thing

[idle plaza]

"Scoring Cards" is exclusively for played cards.
Steel Cards and the like use "held in hand" instead.

[digital niche]

i dont think so, steel would be held

[frozen smelt]

how would i word it so it has a chance to retrigger played cards and card in hand?

is there not one word for both

[daring fern]

Just say 1 in odds chance to retrigger all playing cards

[frozen smelt]

would any card also work

retrigger any card 1 additional time

[daring fern]

No.

[idle plaza]

Jokers and Consumables are cards too.

[frozen smelt]

oh yeah

i think specifying both would make more sense

[daring fern]

No.

[frozen smelt]

i don't know any vanilla card that uses the term playing cards in a reference like this

or modded even

(iirc)

[daring fern]

No.

[frozen smelt]

i'll just take your word for it, it makes sense i just haven't heard it used before

[paper zealot]

It's not totally clear what you're asking, but check localize, loc_parse_string and loc_colour in Balatro's functions/misc_functions.lua

[digital niche]

i mean like, yk how you can use {C:attention} to make a text that yellow-orange colour? it isnt native from lua script, so somewhere in the code it is set that using it will give the colour to your text, i wanted to know where this is set

[vague crest]

where would i find where balatro actually adds these?

looking to create a few simple custom rules but idk what the formatting is

[daring fern]

Search for G.GAME.modifiers.no_interest and the other one.

[sage crater]

Baby blueprint: Chance to retrigger any joker

[paper zealot]

That's not really any more clear, but it definitely is in the lua. It's a fairly convoluted system - loc_parse_string breaks down the input strings into part tables based on the presence of { and } characters, then localize does further processing based on what those parts contain. If you search for part.control.C in misc_functions.lua you'll find what happens to any input text that contains a colour modifier like {C:attention}

[frozen smelt]

Wee blueprint

[hidden sable]

}```

i dont know balal shaders

idk how to convert

[digital niche]

ye imma stick to love.graphics.setColor😭 ty for explaining tho! really helpful

[paper zealot]

If you're just wanting to colour text, you need to pass a colour within a UIT.T element or a colours table to a DynaText, but this is feeling very XY-problem-esque. What are you actually trying to do?

[digital niche]

im doing a separate project from balatro, just lua in general, and here i wanted to make only "fullscreen" be green

[hidden sable]

i dont knwo what im doing 😭

[paper zealot]

Maybe lead with that next time you're asking a question in a Balatro modding forum, but yes, setColor is what it ultimately comes down to with Love

[digital niche]

yeah but i just asked here because here people would probably know about balatro codes so i could ask where they do that stuff, otherwise i wouldnt ask here

[paper zealot]

The question is fine, it just needed more context 🙂

[hidden sable]

please i need shader help here i have no clue what im doing

[sage crater]

true

[hidden sable]

no SMODS.Shader??

😭

i really am alone

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Edition#smodsshader

[serene granite]

is there a vanilla remade for the booster packs? i cant seem to find it

[daring fern]

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

[serene granite]

thankss

[hidden sable]

but im not using editions

im tryna make an overlay

like the crt effect

this is what i tried

didnt work

as expected

[daring fern]

No, that's where SMODS.Shader is.

Did you not see the link?

[hidden sable]

oh mb gang

so how would i load it as an overlay

does it automatically load into G.SHADERS

😭

so sad

how can i

how can i do the thing

how can i get an smods reference to my shader

[frozen smelt]

how would i program a joker that gives mult if you've only played spades or/and clubs

[hidden sable]

something i can plug here

[frozen smelt]

kinda like blackboard

except played cards

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L1200

[frozen smelt]

im looking at it now

[hidden sable]

the vremade in question

[frozen smelt]

thank you

[hidden sable]

we love smods

[frozen smelt]

i had a solution if this persists

[hidden sable]

only shows if im holding the winodw

[thorn furnace]

What function causes this to get rendered

[hidden sable]

BRO THIS IS CONSISTENLY HAPPENING

LIKE IN A ROW

[urban wasp]

how do i detect if there are a certain number of [rarity] jokers owned

oops what

[hidden sable]

GLINK

[urban wasp]

okay well ignore the reply; question still stands lol

[frozen smelt]

not sure at all, i know cryptid jokers include something like that if you roumage around

[daring fern]

Couldn't you use Cryptids function for that?

[frozen smelt]

yeah

also whats going on why isn't my sprite loading here

everything is identical to the others

[hidden sable]

did you swap the 1x and 2x around?

[urban wasp]

probably

[urban wasp]

wouldn't apply here lol

[frozen smelt]

game would've crashed if i didn't

[urban wasp]

yea

[hidden sable]

no i mean the images

[frozen smelt]

sizes are in the right places

142 x 190 in 2x

71 x 95 in 1x

anything out of the ordinary here?

WAIT

pos is off

[urban wasp]

yeah

[frozen smelt]

how would you word an if statement to say "if all the scoring cards are clubs or spades"

if all scored cards are dark suits

or just

how would a caveman put that in code

Yes, i doesn't exist there.

[serene granite]

hey its my first time working with creating a voucher and i have an idea but im kind of struggling to find out how to impliment it

can someone push me in the right direction with some advice?

i want my voucher to make a specific consumable card spawn in your consumable slots, kind of like how hallucination works, when opening a specific booster pack type

does anyone know what that would look like or what i need to make it work, do i need to define the objectype?

[daring fern]

if context.open_booster and context.card.config.center.kind == "kind" then
    SMODS.add_card({key = "c_modprefix_key"})
end

[serene granite]

but wouldnt that happen for every booster pack?

[urban wasp]

clutch

so this just hard-crashes the game now though

...
        if #Cryptid.advanced_find_joker(nil, "cry_cursed", nil, nil, true) >= 10 then
            card:start_dissolve()
            card:remove_from_deck()
        end
...

[frozen smelt]

if i use joker.card[joker.cards.size] would that be the last joker

that you have

out of all the ones you have

[daring fern]

Yes, you need a context check.

[serene granite]

so i replace the word kind with the booster key?

[daring fern]

No, it would be G.jokers.cards[#G.jokers.cards]

[frozen smelt]

thank you

[daring fern]

No, you replace it with the kind you gave it.

[serene granite]

oh i never gave my booster pack a kind

[urban wasp]

oh, i need one?
i want it to instantly (or at least as instantly as possible) die once the player has >=10 cursed jokers

[daring fern]

Then you would put it in update.

[urban wasp]

so just

...
    update = function(self, card)
        if #Cryptid.advanced_find_joker(nil, "cry_cursed", nil, nil, true) >= 10 then
            card:start_dissolve()
            card:remove_from_deck()
        end
    end,
...

[daring fern]

Yes.

[serene granite]

ok thanks for the help ima try to make it work

[urban wasp]

you know what that's a feature

[serene granite]

it keeps saying attempt to index local center, nil value error, and im not sure why

hmmmm

more testing needed

[hybrid shadow]

is it possible for a consumable to have a calculate function instead of a use function

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hybrid shadow]

is there anything special i need to do or will it be okay just being formatted like that

[daring fern]

All you need to do is define the calculate function like you would with a joker.

[hybrid shadow]

do the arguments stay the same? also side question but can they use context.joker_main

[chrome widget]

Yes

[hybrid shadow]

alr cool, coding this should be interesting then

[serene granite]

😭 this isnt working still im not sure what to do to make this work

it keeps saying the "center" of the consumable isnt being found correctly

is there a reason for this?

[chrome widget]

I'd need to see your code

[thorn furnace]

bump
I wanted to patch the run info and options buttons

[serene granite]

    key = 'Chum',
    atlas = 'Extra',
    pos = { x = 2, y = 1 },

    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Chum',
        text = {
            "Opening a {C:attention}Go Fish{} pack",
            "adds a {C:attention}Bait{} consumable"
        }
    },

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.open_booster
            and context.card
            and context.card.config
            and context.card.config.center
            and context.card.config.center.kind == "Go Fish"
            and #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.0,
                func = function()
                    local bait_center = SMODS.find_center and SMODS.find_center('FishingRodConsumableType', 'c_AC_bait')
                    if bait_center then
                        local bait = create_card(bait_center)
                        bait:start_materialize()
                        G.consumeables:emplace_card(bait)
                 end
                    return true
                end
            }))

            return {

            }
        end
    end
}

ill delete after cuz its big

[daring fern]

SMODS.find_center doesn't exist.

[serene granite]

omg i knew it, i thought i was going crazy omg 😭 thanks

[daring fern]

Why didn't you use the code I gave you?

[serene granite]

i tried but it didnt work so i tried different approaches but it didnt work

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({set = "FishingRodConsumableType", area = G.consumeables})

[serene granite]

but how to i get a specific card from that set, thats kind of my problem

[daring fern]

No, that creates a card of that set.

[median veldt]

the fact that it's written consumeables pisses me off so bad

and they cant fix it cuz that'd probably break like every mod ever

[stiff quiver]

is emult (^x) something that comes by default in smods?

[rotund sable]

I think you have to have talisman

[daring fern]

No.

[serene granite]

i finally got it to work thanks everyone !

[sturdy compass]

Was messing around with the new Probability stuff and came up with a method for tracking success and failure of probability checks. There might be a few weird timings with stuff like lucky cards but it works pretty well 👀

[serene granite]

does anyone have an example of a custom deck that changes the shops to only have jokers of a specific rarity, like the shop is full of rare jokers only ? if not does anyone have an idea of how that would look like

[median veldt]

will anything break if I make the key of my atlas just "Jokers"

[daring fern]

No.

[median veldt]

sweet

[sturdy compass]

All atlases you create are internally flagged as created by your mod so no need to worry about that

[chrome widget]

Oooo this is pretty cool

[pale holly]

Hey so my joker has a little issue, it does work as intended but for the score requirement reduction, it still shows the base score, is there any way to fix that ?

    key = "sleepysybil",
        loc_txt= {
        name = 'Sleepytime',
        text = { "{C:attention}Halves{} the current blind's score requirement",
        "after {C:attention}#2#{} rounds",
        "{C:inactive}(Currently #1#/#2# rounds)"
        }
    },
    --atlas = 'Maidenregalia',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 5,
    pools = {["pseudoregamod"] = true},
    
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = false,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    
        config = { extra = { current_round = 0, total_rounds = 3, round_max = 8 } },
        loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.current_round, card.ability.extra.total_rounds,card.ability.extra.round_max } }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    
    if context.setting_blind then
    if card.ability.extra.current_round == card.ability.extra.total_rounds then
    G.GAME.blind.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips/2
    return {
    message = "Well rested !"
    }
    end
    end
    
if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and not context.blueprint then
if card.ability.extra.current_round == card.ability.extra.total_rounds and card.ability.extra.total_rounds ~= card.ability.extra.round_max then

        card.ability.extra.current_round = 0
        card.ability.extra.total_rounds = card.ability.extra.total_rounds + 1
    return {
        message = localize('k_reset') .. "..?"
    }

    elseif card.ability.extra.total_rounds == card.ability.extra.round_max then
        card.ability.extra.current_round = 0
        return {
            message = localize('k_reset')
        }

    else
        card.ability.extra.current_round = card.ability.extra.current_round + 1
    end
end
end
}```

For exemple if the base score requirement is 200, the ui will still show 200 even if it'll be actually 100

[hidden sable]

that's gonna take work to make happen, i would make it so when the blind is being set, do the halving

[pale holly]

it's already the case if context.setting_blind

[daring fern]

G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)

[modern kindle]

Ur pretty cool

[chrome widget]

Ghchdhdhdhff

[pale holly]

Thanks it works !

[chrome widget]

I'm working more on Blinds (since I've added some new ones), and I've outlined almost all challenges I want for my mod

Still trying to work out the achievements which is mostly just flavor stuff. I want them to be different ranks but I'm having trouble coming up with suitably JoJoy achievement levels aside from that the highest level is "Heritage"

[feral tree]

Do you need a 2x for boss blind images?

[chrome widget]

Yes

[median veldt]

I'm a little confused about making a Rarity, how do I make a Joker rarity that doesn't appear in shops

[daring fern]

You don't put it in the joker pool.

[sturdy compass]

set the rarity's default_weight to 0

[median veldt]

so like

SMODS.Rarity {
    key = 'cure',
    default_weight = 0.0
}

[sturdy compass]

yeah lol

[median veldt]

sweet

Also where does it go in the localisation table

considering the other rarities are under like
k_rare for example
would it be k_cure

Or my mod prefix somewhere

[sturdy compass]

I think the former is correct?

Try it and see what happens lol

[median veldt]

Also how do I give a joker that rank, do I just use its key

[daring fern]

You mean rarity?

[median veldt]

Yes I do lmao

[daring fern]

You would do rarity = "modprefix_key"

[chrome widget]

I need adjectives.......... I need grandiosity........ I need it to be bizarre........

[hidden sable]

wawa cat?

[median veldt]

no

[hidden sable]

aw

[median veldt]

i fixed the error but the joker just doesn't exist at all

no matter what the rarity is

[hidden sable]

the solution is simple

idk it tho

[median veldt]

also how do i move my mod to the top of the list in the mod menu how are they ordered

[median veldt]

but yeah it's not in the collection whatsoever, and there's no errors

[hidden sable]

would go better as a #1209506514763522108 post or in #⚙・modding-general

[median veldt]

#1209506514763522108 prolly

[teal ferry]

thanks. i made a post

let me delete the message

[median veldt]

oh it's also not in the additions thing

[chrome widget]

Loading priority in the metadata

[hidden sable]

weird how this can't be changed ingame

most mod managers do this

like mc resource pack

[median veldt]

No because the order seems to not care about that

see what i mean

[daring fern]

Yes, mods with configs go first.

[median veldt]

Oh

That makes more sense okay

Can you help me fix the actual issue I'm having

Okay so it appears in the Collection and stuff if I don't have them in seperate Lua files loaded with assert(SMODS.load_file())

[hidden sable]

s, mods

he can't keep getting away with this

[median veldt]

Which is weird because in my other mod this works just fine

GRAAH why does this happen

I'm going to be adding a lot of jokers I can't have them all in one file

[hidden sable]

more detail

needed

[median veldt]

Oh I'm. okay
I forgot to add an extra ()

assert(SMODS.load_file("test.lua")) -- bad
assert(SMODS.load_file("test.lua"))() -- good

[vast night]

another bump

please

[median veldt]

the joker wasn't showing up in the collection unless I put them all in the same file but that was because I was loading them wrong

[gaunt thistle]

nativefs.filesystem.read or love.filesystem.read

[vast night]

ty

[gaunt thistle]

for future reference this was the first result when I googled "read from file love2d" :p

[hidden sable]

balatro ain't made with love, it's made with flesh and horror

[hexed stump]

Is there an easy way to exclude a consumable from the shop but not packs? I know in theory I could do it by feeding the pack a table of all the consumables of that kind, but there’s gotta be a better way

[hidden sable]

soul maybe?

[hollow crest]

guys how do I listen for ingame events like when there's a new round

[hidden sable]

contexts

[daring fern]

if context.setting_blind

[hidden sable]

unless you mean globally

in that case hook a context

[hollow crest]

thanks

[hidden sable]

their message didn't elude to a joker context tbh

[hollow crest]

globally? wdym

[hexed stump]

The slight problem here is that there’s 24 id want to exclude from the shop, and probably about 6-7 that I want in it

[daring fern]

Outside of a joker or similar.

[hexed stump]

Making ~30 total

[hollow crest]

yeah outside a joker

[hidden sable]

make them all soil

[hidden sable]

or consumable

or anything

[hollow crest]

nope

[hidden sable]

like checking for the event not inside a game object

[hollow crest]

I wanna do it globally

[hidden sable]

you would use a hook

@daring fern oh mr poly bridge

[daring fern]

Then hook SMODS.calculate_context

[hidden sable]

teach them hooks

[hexed stump]

That doesn’t quite work if I want the whole set to appear in packs by default though does it? As soul replaces what originally would spawn I though

[frozen smelt]

whats the code to activate at the end of the round before you get interest

[hollow crest]

gulp

alright thanks

[daring fern]

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[frozen smelt]

what is main.eval?

[hidden sable]

idk the nachos that much

[hexed stump]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’ll see if I can’t fuck around with pools tomorrow

As that might be the solution

[hollow crest]

crap I can't figure it out, how do I do this?

[wintry solar]

What’s the intended outcome?

[hollow crest]

I js wanna randomize music after each blind selected

[wintry solar]

Are you familiar with lovely patches?

[daring fern]

local oldsmodscalccontext = SMODS.calculate_context
function SMODS.calculate_context(context, return_table)
    if context.setting_blind then
        -- do things
    end
    return oldsmodscalccontext(context, return_table)
end
```?

[hollow crest]

thanks, I'll try it out

[hollow crest]

nope, I'm new to anything love2d related

[frozen smelt]

anyone know why my joker that should have art is a default joker card

this doesn't look like a penny to me

[hidden sable]

does it have an atlas

[frozen smelt]

hold the phone

you have it

i think

[frozen smelt]

is there a way to make custom sounds for cards

or is that far too complex

[hidden sable]

wdym

there's play_sound

[frozen smelt]

does it replace the sound?

[hidden sable]

oh

when you return your values

supply sound

[frozen smelt]

i see

[hidden sable]

but it has to have a custom message

ask steven mods why they made it like that

[median veldt]

SMODS.ConsumableType {
    key = 'Spell',
    loc_txt = {
         name = 'Spell', -- used on card type badges
         collection = 'Spells', -- label for the button to access the collection
         undiscovered = { -- description for undiscovered cards in the collection
             name = 'Not Discovered',
             text = { 'Purchase or use',
                     'this card in an',
                     'unseeded run to',
                     'learn what it does' },
         },
     },
    primary_colour = HEX('8f82d1'),
    secondary_colour = HEX('8f82d1')
}

I'm trying to move the loc_txt to a localization file
where on earth do i put the stuff
and where do i put descriptions for the cards under this type
mod prefix is shark

[hidden sable]

noita mod?

[median veldt]

??

[hidden sable]

i'm fuck

[gaunt thistle]

keep the shitposting in the chat channel haha

[hidden sable]

but i'm shit and they are posting

[frozen smelt]

does xmult_minus do anything at all

[hidden sable]

what

what is xmult minus

[frozen smelt]

oh yeah i forgot

based off of samplejimbos

[hidden sable]

🧮

[frozen smelt]

that'd be why

[hidden sable]

what is samplejimbos??

my humble nubby word you aren't making any sense!!!

[modern kindle]

Definitely do not use samplejimbos

[hidden sable]

actually wait it could be from the fact i haven't slept yet

[frozen smelt]

nubby?

[hidden sable]

yeah that's prolly it mb gang keep posting things i sssume to be true

and use vremade

[modern kindle]

The goat to use is remade yea

[frozen smelt]

nubby factoy

how is it 9am

for mne

[hidden sable]

"nubby factoy"

pinning that on my wall of wall

[median veldt]

?????????

this is 1:1 the same code as vremade but with Tarot replaced with Spell

[hidden sable]

where the _1

[median veldt]

clearly not necessary

[hidden sable]

try it, that might be an error

[median veldt]

why does that work?????????

[hidden sable]

did it work?

[median veldt]

Yes

[median veldt]

See Above

[hidden sable]

adding the _1 worked?

[median veldt]

yes.

i just Said that

[hidden sable]

sir rt just verifying

[median veldt]

ok

but like

[hidden sable]

because i'm about to summon the wizard

[median veldt]

sigh

thank you

[hidden sable]

thank god you came in clutch i was just about to summon the wizard

[royal ridge]

what wizard

[frozen smelt]

        if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
            xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult_minus - card.ability.extra.xmult_minus_mod
        end```

i'm tired and stupid so

[hidden sable]

the vremade author

[lament agate]

is context.other_card a thing

[frozen smelt]

what did i do wrong

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hidden sable]

hey don't say that

it's impossible to be tired when there's work to do

[frozen smelt]

no like i am so tired and being tired makes me that way

[hidden sable]

stupid yes

[frozen smelt]

ah i see

thank you RatMilk balatro

[hidden sable]

what's the goal here

start goalposting

🥅

[frozen smelt]

this is supposed to lose mult at the end of the round btw and its not doing that

[median veldt]

bump

[lament agate]

i was looking at Extra Credit for a joker that counts all played cards as Lucky Card if it has 7, but i dont think this is how it looks?

[frozen smelt]

NO

I WAS HERE FIRST

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[lament agate]

my plan was
"played High Card now counts as Glass Card"

[daring fern]

You need to use Quantum Enhancements

[frozen smelt]

wouldn't you just do if its high card then 2x

[daring fern]

No.

[lament agate]

where can i see that

[hidden sable]

yes but no

[royal ridge]

xmult is just there

it doesn't exist

[daring fern]

Then it wouldn't break also it wouldn't count for glass joker and similar.

[hidden sable]

oh yeah no return

[lament agate]

yeah this

[frozen smelt]

its x_mult

not xmult

right

[daring fern]

You mean like documentation?

[hidden sable]

no you did mint return

[royal ridge]

??

[lament agate]

yes if there is one

[hidden sable]

no return need return go hot eat the food

[daring fern]

There isn't currently.

[frozen smelt]

i've returned all my mints bro

relax

[hidden sable]

return

[lament agate]

oh that sucks, where do i find reference for it tho

[royal ridge]

you don't even need return

you're not returning anything if you're resetting xmult

[hidden sable]

guckle yournstself

[royal ridge]

except for maybe a message

[daring fern]

I'm not sure but firstly, you have to enable it.

[royal ridge]

the problem is that this code is effectively saying "this random variable that just so happens to be called xmult is equal to this equation"

you need to target something

like card.ability.extra.xmult

or whatever the xmult value actually is

[frozen smelt]

is it not x_mult as well

[royal ridge]

what

it's whatever the joker is

[frozen smelt]

its x_mult

not xmult

[royal ridge]

what does the config look like

[median veldt]

bump, except i know where to put undiscovered and the individual consumables themselves, i just need to know where to put the name and collection

[frozen smelt]

no i mean

i meant to use x_mult

thats why its not working

[median veldt]

assuming somewhere in dictionary but what about the key

[royal ridge]

uhh

[median veldt]

nevermind it's

b_prefix_consumable_cards
k_prefix_consumable

[lament agate]

how to

[royal ridge]

oh ok gg

[median veldt]

mayybe not
i was just looking at vremade and another mod

[royal ridge]

that's in misc.dictionary right

[median veldt]

yea

[royal ridge]

hm

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
    return {
        quantum_enhancements = true
    }
end

[lament agate]

thanks

i gotta find a mod that does this tho

@faint yacht does your mod have quantum enhancement?

[frozen smelt]

        return card.ability.extra.dollars
        x_mult = card.ability.extra.xmult_minus - card.ability.extra.xmult_minus_mod
    end,```

is this plausible

[daring fern]

if G.play and #G.play.cards > 0 and context.check_enhancement then
    local text = G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.play.cards)
    if text == "High Card" then
        return {m_glass = true}
    end
end
```?

[lament agate]

ill try this and see

[lament agate]

no config or loc vars for this?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

oh alright

brb

[median veldt]

why is this incorrect this is exactly what vremade does

this is the only thing definining the consumable type

[daring fern]

No, it's not, VanillaRemade doesn't use the prefix.

[median veldt]

?

[daring fern]

Because ObjectTypes and ConsumableTypes don't have mod prefixes.

[median veldt]

right here

[daring fern]

Yes.

[median veldt]

Oh

[daring fern]

There is no mod prefix there.

It's just the key.

[median veldt]

I swear I tried that earlier and it didn't work

Whatever it works now thank you so much

[frozen smelt]

is message = localize('') the message under the card

i just wanna make sure so i dont mess anything up

[hollow crest]

guys how to check whether the game's currently in the main screen where you play cards or discard them?

G.STATES doesn't seem to have that

[daring fern]

if G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND

[hollow crest]

oh

ight thank you

[median veldt]

are there docs for the partner mod

[maiden phoenix]

I think they have a wiki section in their github not sure

Otherwise just read the code in the mod

Is it possible to track what happens in the game after a consumable is used and apply changes to the game at that stage, such as when a blind is defeated? Would this require lovely patches?

[feral tree]

So do atlases for blinds have to be 32x32?

mines 158 x 158

[median veldt]

that didn't really help

[feral tree]

Shows up in the collection

[median veldt]

idk what I'm doing with this mod lmao

[feral tree]

Shows up in the blind selection screen

but not when you're actually in it

[daring fern]

Yes, no.

[maiden phoenix]

Can you show where you're calling that?

which line it crashes at

[median veldt]

the first line

i just copied code from the partner mod itself
and yes i do have it enabled

in the mod there's this on like the first line

idk if I can like
get variables from the other mod like that

[merry frost]

How would that be done?

[daring fern]

Hook Card:use_consumeable and Blind:defeat

[merry frost]

I'm unfamiliar with the concept of hooking, could you give an example or link me to an article that contains that information?

[median veldt]

okay so I just had to make the priority less than the partner mod's priority

which makes sense but still annoying

[daring fern]

https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/

[feral tree]

bump

[daring fern]

No.

[hollow crest]

is there one for when you resume that screen? like after you leave to the main menu and go back to that screen

[merry frost]

local blind_defeat_hook = Blind:defeat(silent)
function Blind:defeat(silent)
    return blind_defeat_hook(self, silent)
end

Would something like this be a start? Looking at this has me worried because self isn't defined, and neither is silent.

[daring fern]

No.

[maiden phoenix]

You can it's a global, what's the priority of your mod and the one of PartnerAPI

[feral tree]

any possible reason the blind image isn't showing up when i play it then?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[median veldt]

silent is very clearly defined in the function parameters

and self is the Blind

[feral tree]

what are the reasons?

[merry frost]

Are you saying that the problem is that I'm not getting the blind from G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states[blind_type] = blind then? Or is modifying the class OK?

[median veldt]

what?

there is no issue

[daring fern]

No.

[median veldt]

?

oh did i miss context

[merry frost]

I am trying to hook into a blind's events

[daring fern]

local blind_defeat_hook = Blind.defeat

[median veldt]

OH right

since you're not calling the function you're just getting the function itself

[merry frost]

local blind_defeat_hook = Blind.defeat
function Blind:defeat(silent)
    blind_defeat_hook(self, silent)
end

So this then?

I'm just being absolutely sure

[median veldt]

rambley thumbs up!

I believe so at least

It's been a week or so since I made a hook I have bad memory
Looks right to me tho

And as they say
https://tryitands.ee

[merry frost]

Ok, then here's another conundrum. I'm creating consumables that hook into blinds, but when I set an arbitrary value using SMODS.Consumable { }, I get an error. To get around this, am I required to create a new hook for every consumable?

Here's an shortened example: SMODS.Consumable { can_use = ..., use = ..., blind_start = ..., blind_defeat = ... } (specifying blind_start or blind_defeat causes a crash)

[hollow crest]

guys is there a way to check for this?

[feral tree]

this was working, now it's not and i have no idea how please help

[daring fern]

Show the full code.

[livid nimbus]

I'm sorry for not providing enough support for regular creations, I'll make up for it when I can.🥺

[daring fern]

Yes.

It's the same thing.

yeah that thing

if i put a dependency in my json does the game actually scan for if you have that dependency

[stiff quiver]

i made a joker that works like mr bones but for when it saves the run for losing it says error, how can i fix this?

[hidden sable]

you accomplished more than what the multiplayer mod could do good on you

simon be typing

[stiff quiver]

isnt it just put saved in thecalculate? how can multiplayer mod do that wrong

[daring fern]

You need to return a key to an entry of localization.

[stiff quiver]

oh that makes sense, thanks!

[merry frost]

I think I'm doing something wrong again. Trying to hook into an instance of a class is giving an IDE warning

[midnight hornet]

no just a refinement and docs addition to balatrobot mod. I'm planning to use to develop new balatro bots. yeah like TAS bot: program that given the game environment takes action.

[stiff quiver]

where in the localization should i put it? i tried a few places and none were working

[daring fern]

Localization > misc > dictionary

[stiff quiver]

thanks

[feral tree]

still cant figure out why tf this isn't working HELP

[daring fern]

Do you have joker retriggers enabled?

[tawdry oriole]

is there a way to change the current atlas pos of a joker in its calculate function?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[tawdry oriole]

how would you do that then?

[feral tree]

what's the code to enable it?

[daring fern]

card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = number, y = number})

[tawdry oriole]

thanks!

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
    return {
        retrigger_joker = true,
    }
end

[feral tree]

do i put that in Calculate?

[stiff quiver]

outside thr joker

[feral tree]

ah

[feral tree]

can you do the same thing with Soul pos?

[stiff quiver]

i think so

[daring fern]

Yes, but it would be card.children.floating_sprite

[stiff quiver]

yeah

[lament agate]

whats the fix again for a joker that triggers for every cards held in hand

[feral tree]

context.main_eval?

[lament agate]

what it does again

[feral tree]

Checks the joker and not the cards in hand

[lament agate]

something like this?

[feral tree]

yes

[lament agate]

thanks doc

[vast bough]

does anybody know what the line of code is to balance chips and mult

i know its a single line but i forgor

[daring fern]

return {balance = true}?

[vast bough]

i was thinking chips.balance lol, thank you

[summer furnace]

how could I modify the Xmult config, while the joker does something?

[stiff quiver]

how would i change a card's seal sprite?

like, imagine i have a card with a seal, and i want from withing the seal's calculate change the position of the seal in the atlas

[daring fern]

You would have to change the sprite in G.shared_seals["modprefix_key"] I think.

[stiff quiver]

so something like G.shared_seals["modprefix_key"] = {x = x, y= y} ?

[daring fern]

No.

[stiff quiver]

what do i do with that then?

[daring fern]

G.shared_seals["modprefix_key"] = Sprite(0, 0, 71, 95, G.ASSET_ATLAS["modprefix_atlaskey"], {x = number, y = number})

[stiff quiver]

ok thanks

[void sparrow]

does anyone knows how to fix that? its my first mod sorry if its a dumb question

[red flower]

can you send the full crash

also I don't think this is the cause but it's G.jokers not G.Jokers

[summer furnace]

?

[daring fern]

card.ability.Xmult = number

[summer furnace]

so I am doing this but it crashes

oh wait nvm

I mistyped it lmao

oh it still crashes

[void sparrow]

here you go

[daring fern]

Log?

[summer furnace]

thats the calculate function I have right now:

        boost = boost - pseudorandom('SonstZuOpLMAO', 0.05, 0.15)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                card.ability.Xmult = boost,
                message = 'Geboosted!',
            }
        end```

[red flower]

did you restart the run before testing?

[daring fern]

Move it out of the return.

[void sparrow]

oh shit no

[daring fern]

Also it would be card.config.center.key not card.config.center.

[void sparrow]

key stays key or do i put my mod key?

nvm it worked thank you !!!

[slim ferry]

what general structure should the main mod file have? the steamodded docs dont have anything on it and every mod seems to do something entirely different

[summer furnace]

I did that, but it still crashes :/
Heres the config: config = {extra = {Xmult = 1}}
and heres the calculate function:

        boost = pseudorandom('FinusLSD', 1.45, 1.95)
        boost = boost - pseudorandom('SonstZuOpLMAO', 0.05, 0.15)
        card.ability.Xmult = boost,
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult
                message = 'Geboosted!',
            }
        end
    end,```

[daring fern]

Remove the ,

Also add the , to Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult

[summer furnace]

now it works (hopefully) thanks!

[lament agate]

@daring fern which smods version that has the probabilities api?

[daring fern]

The dev version.

[lament agate]

latest then

[daring fern]

Yes, the one from the code button.

[lament agate]

alright

[summer furnace]

so it doesn't crash anymore but it doesn't add any multiplier

    key = 'smoboost',
    atlas = 'hdjoker',
    pos = {x=0, y=0},
    cost = 2,
    pools = {['HDJoker'] = true},
    config = {extra = {Xmult = 1}},

    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,

    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Mario Odyssey Boost!',
        text = {
            'Booste deinen Multiplier',
            'zwischen 45% bis 80%'
        }
    },

    calculate = function(self, card, context)    
        if context.joker_main then
            boost = pseudorandom('FinusLSD', 1.45, 1.95)
            print(boost)
            boost = boost - pseudorandom('SonstZuOpLMAO', 0.05, 0.15)
            print(boost)
            card.ability.Xmult = boost
            return {
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                message = 'Geboosted!',
            }
        end
    end,

}```

[daring fern]

Yes, because it would be card.ability.extra.Xmult

[summer furnace]

now it works thanks!

[primal robin]

@tall wharf are you interact with rotating UI stuff or cards by chance?

Not by shader

[tall wharf]

uh no

[summer furnace]

so the value everytime is 1.4, I know why, but I do not know how to fix it, anyone have any ideas?

[primal robin]

Bummer

Because game apply rotating only on second frame

[wintry solar]

I don’t think you can pseudorandom floats

[floral narwhal]

How can i change rank of a card as con?

[languid canopy]

hey guys how can i fix this ?

also it crashes the game when i play a hand (before i f ed up the joker even more)

[bitter portal]

so those numbers in your localization should be 1 and 2

not 5 and 0

they are the indexes in the return value of loc_vars

as for the crash i am not sure

[idle plaza]

Your config.extra is missing the gain you uee.

[bitter portal]

ooh yeah, that too

[languid canopy]

so i just shove "gain" in the config{extra ?

[placid star]

does anyone know where the greyed out sell buttons are held in ui_defs.lua?

[idle plaza]

Yes, right next to chips. That table is for any and all custom values your Joker uses.

[crisp coral]

button_callbacks.lua makes the buttons greyed

look for can_sell

[bitter portal]

Yes, also don't forget to fix your localization strings too.

[languid canopy]

im not sure how to do stuff

[bitter portal]

in this case it would be gain = 0

that is what you want

[languid canopy]

aight now it show "+nil" and then "(currently +5)"

nevermind

what

uhhh coding moment

[idle plaza]

What's happening now?

[bitter portal]

make sure to not accidentally swap the localization vars lol

[languid canopy]

wait a sec

so this part is fixed

ima try to play a hand

lowkey hardest part of the game

very nice it doesn't crashes

well thanks you guys

[tawdry oriole]

is there a way to return a message with an event?

[bitter portal]

Is there some sort of global var i can check to see if the whole process of discarding cards and new cards being drawn has finished?

im trying to make the new cards come in only after some new cards were drawn

this almost works but since the time it takes for cards to finish drawing and discarding is dynamic, a value of 4 doesnt always work out

[shell timber]

are you trying to make a new consumeable type?

[bitter portal]

nvm i figured it out im a genius /j

i did figure it out though

[idle plaza]

For future reference, there is a context.hand_drawn that seems like it would help you.

[bitter portal]

ooh i just realised i messed up the materilze animation

it doesnt do it :(

[red flower]

SMODS.calculate_effect({message = "msg"}, card)?

[bitter portal]

ok nvm it's just doing it as it comes from the right of the screen

[tawdry oriole]

i guess so yeah

thanks

[wooden nexus]

New Card type altogether

Not consumable

(It goes in Joker Slots)

II got it working thanks to someone else but idk how to get the collection to show up

[bitter portal]

is it in "other" already?

[misty gorge]

For some reason this dissolves the joker before scoring is started, even when I have it set to "context.after"

[wooden nexus]

No. I don't want it Other regardless

(this is photoshopped but I wanna do something like this)

ALTERNATIVELY...

Move Seals over to Other

[bitter portal]

#💻・modding-dev message
bump

[misty gorge]

Nevermind, found the solution, card:start_dissolve() kinda sucks and I had to put it in a dissolve event

[red flower]

i would recommend SMODS.destroy_cards(cards)

[bitter portal]

Is it possible to apply a shader to a Back?

[wooden nexus]

beta balatro did it

[red flower]

You probably need a DrawStep

I would look into how cryptid does it

[thorn basin]

I wanted to make a joker that would create a random joker that you previously sold or destroyed after a boss blind has been defeated.
The question is... how can I check for every joker sold or destroyed previously?
In the "(#G.jokers.cards + G.GAME.joker_buffer)" I think I gotta change the first term to something else but I'm not sure what.

[daring fern]

You have to store it manually.

[thorn basin]

like an array of sold/destroyed jokers?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[bitter portal]

Why doesnt this edition work for jokers? It doesnt do any scoring when it's applied to a joker

[daring fern]

if (context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play) or context.pre_joker then

[thorn basin]

wait but how can I store the sold/destroyed jokers in an array?
And how do I make the array not limited but infinite since there's probably gonna a lot of destroyed/sold jokers?

[daring fern]

You would hook Card:start_dissolve()

[bitter portal]

Thank you!

[frosty rampart]

lua tables are already infinite by default. table.insert(previous_jokers, [some joker]) will add the given joker onto the end of the table

[thorn basin]

I... don't exactly know how to hook a funtion, I tried searching online but I'm still doing it wrong...

[idle plaza]

local old_card_start_disoolve = Card.start_dissolve
function Card:start_dissolve()
  --Do stuff here
  old_card_start_disoolve(self)
  --Or here
end

[real night]

how do you make it do an animation thats like the level up animation

[long sun]

where do i put the code for credits, again?

(overall credits found next to the mod's config tab)

[red flower]

Quick question but how do i make the poker hand work with my enhancements ? It's meant to react with 5 cards with that enhancement but it still treat it as a flush (because the enhancement is any suit)

[pale holly]

check if you have other mods installed that could conflict with cryptid

[polar vale]

i have but none of them are active

just talisman is active

[pale holly]

maybe remove entirely the other mods folders just in case, maybe it can still mess up somewhat

[polar vale]

ok ill try

thank u btw

[red flower]

make it give more chips * mult than a flush

[pale holly]

would above_hand work too ?

[red flower]

no idea

[pale holly]

i'll try that first to see, but thanks

[polar vale]

didnt work 😔

[pale holly]

ah, well not sure, i don't even really use cryptid, just said was seemed the most logical

[pastel kernel]

where's the creator of jokerforge

[pale holly]

maybe it's the smods version that is outdated

[polar vale]

idk but thanks for trying

[hybrid shadow]

it does, the key for hands are the hand's full name

[pale holly]

so just, above_hand = flush?

[lament agate]

whats the context for detecting Ante raise

[hybrid shadow]

above_hand = 'Flush',

[thorn furnace]

Two questions but I'll ask one at a time
The first one would be asking how I can make the "100" text centered inside the light grey bubble (like as though it just ignored the red bubble)
If I have them as separate nodes inside the grey bubble then it just places them next to each other

[pale holly]

thanks, wanted to make so my hand wasn't too powerful for it

[frosty rampart]

SMODS.Rank[whatever your rank's full key is, including mod prefix].id should get the ID properly I think

[hybrid shadow]

np

[bitter portal]

like this?

[frosty rampart]

yea that should be right

[pale holly]

well it DOES show itself on top of the flush but somewhat will still trigger itself as a flush, maybe the way my pokerhand is being made doesn't exactly match idk

[tepid coral]

Hello, I was trying to get this joker effect to work, but I can't figure out how to. The plan was to make the suit names get added to a table and then cards would have their suits compared against the ones already in the table

[hybrid shadow]

wdym

[pale holly]

i'll record in video to make the thing easier to understand

[bitter portal]

wuh oh

[lament agate]

bump

[bitter portal]

That should be the key so i dont know what went wrong

[red flower]

there isnt one, the best you can do with contexts is end_of_round + boss defeated
else you need to hook

[pale holly]

this basically, it still consider it as a flush

[frosty rampart]

oh my bad it's SMODS.Ranks, plural

[bitter portal]

ahh yeah that makes more sense 😭

[hybrid shadow]

are you checking for suit or enhancement in your hand's code

[lament agate]

if G.GAME.blind.boss and context.end_of_round then ?

[thorn furnace]

it's better to have a boolean here
so you have like

for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
  local suitPlayedBefore = false
  for _, c_suit in ipairs(suits_scored) do
    if scored_card:isSuit(cSuit) then
      suitPlayedBefore = true
    end
  end

  if not suitPlayedBefore then
    table.insert(suits_scored, scored_card.base.suit)
    scored = scored + 1
  end
end

[pale holly]

maybe i didn't, i was thinkingwith the exemple it could somewhat work

[red flower]

yeah, you should probably also add and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval

[lament agate]

will do

[thorn furnace]

i think

[lament agate]

tysmmmm

shoudl be good

[hybrid shadow]

what is parts._sol_flush doing here

[long sun]

oops! my UI is busted, can you see where the issue is? will grab a screenshot in a mo

[pale holly]

i just needed that for the evaluate, i was thinking that's just what i had to add

[long sun]

oh and. nvm i found it ;u;

[thorn basin]

tried doing like this but I'm not sure what should I put instead of G.jokers

[long sun]

sorry

[hybrid shadow]

lemme see where my hand code is and grab a screenshot for you rq

[pale holly]

sure, i would have checked for pokerhands with enhancements on but i don't think i've found one yet

[red flower]

i have one that is five gold cards

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/c0a24f9ba7e75f51d8ec09f22f12329c7a837cca/src/others/PokerHands.lua#L43

(ignore the next(SMODS.find_card("j_joy_eld_angel")))

[hybrid shadow]

thats a bit simpler than what i did

[pale holly]

oh shit that's exactly what i need

thanks both, i'll try to make this work now

[thorn basin]

what should I put instead of G.jokers?

(to at least add the sold/destroyed joker to the array)

[polar vale]

@pale holly thank u for your help i can play cryptid now. my files were outdated

[red flower]

if self.ability.set == "Joker" then
  if not G.GAME.modprefix_previous_jokers then
    G.GAME.modprefix_previous_jokers = {}
  end
  table.insert(G.GAME.modprefix_previous_jokers, self.config.center.key)
end

replace modprefix with your mods prefix

[thorn basin]

aight

[tepid coral]

Yeah I did have a Boolean before, but it didn’t work.
Let me try your code

[pale holly]

simple things to check but heh, it do be working, glad it works now !

[tranquil axle]

how is this only an epic joker

[thorn furnace]

have u seen the legendary jokers in cryptid

[red flower]

#⚙・modding-general ?

[tranquil axle]

oh my god

why am I ALWAYS in the wrong channel

this is the 3rd time

[long sun]

there we are!

[thorn furnace]

bump

[thorn furnace]

fancy :3

[tepid coral]

Ok, this is new

[thorn furnace]

did i typo

[pale holly]

did you used the localization files for this ?

[red flower]

:is_suit ?

[long sun]

ah, partly

[primal terrace]

Hi, is there a way to detect when a card is used in a booster pack?

I looked at "Domino" from Bunco and that has context.getting_booster_card, but I've heard nothing about it

[tepid coral]

If anything that would be my typo

[thorn furnace]

o

[pale holly]

ah i see, i know i've tried to maje a proper description but apparently using n/ to skip line doesn't work in that case

[long sun]

that's because it's \n

but also, you should use multiple rows of text instead of newlines

but also, i'm pretty sure you can do that with a table like { "row a", "row b" }

but also i don't know for sure so

[pale holly]

i think it was that i tried but still didn't wored, idk i should retry to see

[tepid coral]

It was a typo. It works now. Thanks @thorn furnace as well

[thorn furnace]

[pastel kernel]

i need some help

[primal terrace]

Here is Bunco's non-vanillacontext.getting_booster_card

[pastel kernel]

joker won't update values

[thorn basin]

ok so to put the table in the jokers_to_create I must put the "G.GAME.modprefix_previous_jokers" instead of the "#G.jokers.cards" right?

[pastel kernel]

it won't gain xmult or xchips upgrade

[red flower]

what's the effect

[thorn basin]

it is written in the comment in that screenshot

[red flower]

then it's fine how it is

you're missing the creating part

[thorn basin]

oh

[pastel kernel]

bump

[long sun]

how do you draw a card from a card area into a different card area, again?

i'd like to draw from play into hand

[pale holly]

i guess i was actually a fool, it does look better now at last, thanks

[long sun]

np!

[thorn basin]

so something like this but...

[red flower]

try draw_card(G.play, G.hand, 90, 'up', nil, card)

[long sun]

awesome, will give that a try
