[primal robin]

Yay, this works

[feral tree]

Is it possible to reroll the 1 in 4 destruction chance of a glass card? trying to make a joker that gains mult every time a glass card scores and loses all of it when a glass card shatters

[daring fern]

Why would you need to reroll the chance for that?

[feral tree]

A joker that retriggers glass cards

[wintry solar]

I have a load of stuff that I need to port into smods that allows for custom small/big blinds and the option to have boss blinds as either of the first two options, I just haven’t got round to it yet.

[wintry solar]

What are the pool and left percentages referencing?

[primal robin]

Pool is total amounf of jokers with this rarity, left is pool size minus locked, jokers you have, and optionally jokers in shop slots

Percentages is for one specific card

Like pribability to find blueprint, or dna

Also it checks for showman or SMODS.showman

Not sure which center I should use to repsresent this tab

Hone more for editions, idk

[midnight hornet]

is there a complete reference for G? im looking to hook into function to wait for action complete like G.FUNC.go_to_menu()

[red flower]

no

there's a PR in the smods wiki for some G documentation but not that comprehensive as far as i remember

[paper zealot]

You can use DebugPlus to check table contents - opening the console and doing eval G or eval G.FUNCS should give you a slightly overwhelming list of everything

[long sun]

hiya! i'm trying to fix No Joke's Talisman requirement again

code

what do i need to safeguard?

(by that, i mean what do i need to do to_big = to_big or function(x) return x end to?)

[daring heron]

ooh? what's this :0

[red flower]

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

[daring fern]

Change number:to_number() to to_number(number) and put to_number = to_number or function(x) return x end somewhere in the file.

[long sun]

grand :D

will try that out

[primal robin]

salty ghost pfp update dt is so low, that's crazy

[long sun]

IKR hold on

2 new attacks last night!!

[bold gyro]

how would i get a card.ability.extra value to persist when a joker is changed using card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["j..."])?

[long sun]

:3!

[daring fern]

You would hook card:set_ability.

[primal robin]

Also done, yayyy

[proper tangle]

this joker is feeling rather jolly

same vibe as "i'm the original Starwalker"

[thorn furnace]

Bump

[merry frost]

I also still need help with this, but I'll be out as I'm in a different time zone. Please @ me if you know the answer

[midnight hornet]

is there a way to run function direcly from debugPlus prompt?

[red flower]

eval function()

[bitter portal]

gughuugh why is it stuck at 10

[midnight hornet]

yeah sorry, i was calling them with wrong args

[upper yoke]

trying to make a joker that gives Xmult depending on the number of gros michels you have, just looking for tips on how to do this as i literally started learning how to create mods yesterday. I looking for the specific code make this work as the only thing ive tried doing is looking for the abstract joker code and tweaking it so that it only counts it as gros michels rather than all jokers

couldnt find it

[red flower]

you probably want the math logic to be in update and not in calculate

[bitter portal]

ooh right

good catch

ngl i had a feeling that was the issue but i couldnt remember the function name

[red flower]

if context.joker_main then
  return { xmult = 1 + #SMODS.find_card("j_gros_michel") * value }
end

[upper yoke]

nice, thanks

[bitter portal]

sorry uh

idk why its brokebn

no good :(

@hushed field

[upper yoke]

I am now having problems with trying to get this to actually work. I'm not entirely sure what I need to do in order to make it apply said xmult but whenever I try to play a hand it crashse the game. Ill attach the code for the joker and the error message if you can try and make sense of this mess

[hushed field]

that's because my code is also broken 🥲 I'd added that a few days ago and not tested it yet. It should be G.STATE ~= G.STATES.HAND_PLAYED

[bitter portal]

oh LOL that makes more sense

i completley glossed over that syntax

[hushed field]

It's straight up my most made mistake, haha

[red flower]

you were supposed to replace value with whatever the value per gros michel was

[hushed field]

I think I consistently do a no x == x and then run broken code before I realize it should've been x ~= x

[upper yoke]

oh sorry

i forgot about that

[red flower]

also this won't gain like the description says

[bitter portal]

just as yourself if the thing you are noting is a boolean every time you add a not

[red flower]

this will give xmult on joker timing

[bitter portal]

oh uh how do i make a joker completley not show up in shops or packs

[upper yoke]

make it legendary?

[bitter portal]

i dont want it showing up in soul either

it has its own aquiring method

[upper yoke]

no clue then

[red flower]

return false in in_pool

[bitter portal]

thank you

[upper yoke]

i may sound stupid for saying this but i have no clue what you mean by this

the joker timing thing i mean

[red flower]

this will give xmult for every gros michel you have when jokers score, it wont increase the xmult like it says in the description

[upper yoke]

ok, that's what i intend it to do but i haven't actually set anything up to check how many gros michels are in your jokers

[red flower]

#SMODS.find_card("j_gros_michel") is what does it

[upper yoke]

oh wait im stupid i just need to change value to 1

ok ill test it now and if it works then i am indeed stupid for not realising this

[bitter portal]

not me making wierd jokers

anyways how do i transform a joker

[red flower]

card:set_ability("j_modprefix_key")

[bitter portal]

oh is it really that simple

[red flower]

yeah

[bitter portal]

okay well, thank you!

[upper yoke]

ok so there was a small area of code i needed to remove to stop it from crashing at the end of a hand but overall it now works. I can't thank you enough @red flower for putting up with my insane stupidity

[red flower]

im always here to help

[bitter portal]

is this correct?

[red flower]

no P_CENTERS

[bitter portal]

ah yeah.. that makes more sense, Thank you!

[upper yoke]

might need a little assistance trying to get the card to display the current mult it is at in the card description

[bitter portal]

whats the debugplus keybind for winning an blind so i can test this

its not in the keys.txt in the mod repo

but i heard someone talk about it being a thing

[red flower]

i dont think there one

you can press tab and press the button

[red flower]

you need to put the same thing in loc_vars you do in the calculate return (1 + amount of gros michel)

[upper yoke]

ah

[rotund sable]

im confused

<@&1133519078540185692>

[bitter portal]

huh

what happened

bot?

[rotund sable]

spam bot

[bitter portal]

ah yeah

figured

[upper yoke]

i did that and it crashed the game when the joker appeared on screen

i may have done it wrong

[bitter portal]

oh huh this isnt working, i want it to downgrade immedietly after scoring of the bad hand

full code for context

nvm i just played the wrong hand

im stupid

it works

[red flower]

whats the code and crash

[bitter portal]

WTF I SET in_pool = false WHY ARE YOU HERE

[red flower]

it's a function

[bitter portal]

oh

it needs to return false

i see

[red flower]

yes

[bold sleet]

Hi chat, does anyone know how to change the font these numbers use?

[bitter portal]

wtf

oh uh i should probably make this not pluaral at 1 blind uhhhh

whats the easiest way to do that

i could just like have a var specifically for swapping between those

[red flower]

yeah

just make that #2# or something

[upper yoke]

here

[red flower]

vars needs to be a table

vars = { } and you put stuff inside the brackets

[upper yoke]

OHHH

i forgot that sorry that makes sense

[bitter portal]

i forget is this how you do tenary if in lua

[red flower]

yes

[bitter portal]

ok cool

[bold sleet]

anyone?

[thorn furnace]

bump

[bitter portal]

how do i get the key of the most played poker hand in the run

[red flower]

do what obelisk does

[karmic nest]

so im trying to make a joker that always puts Wheel of Fortune in the shop but every time i go to the shop it sends it to the top and you cant buy it or anything

[red flower]

there isnt a context.area

thats for tags

[karmic nest]

so make it nil? or something else?

[red flower]

no, I think the whole syntax doesnt work because tags work differently than jokers in those contexts

i dont know what that syntax would be however as i just gave up and made my jokers give tags :3

[karmic nest]

so kinda like diet cola but everytime

[red flower]

yeah, I just made a tag that replaces the next shop item for whatever card i give it

[umbral zodiac]

how do you get a table of all stakes applied in a run

[wispy sparrow]

so i'm trying to make evil blueprint actually work, i got some help with some of the lines that don't work except line 1207, where 'arg' returns a nil value

[bitter portal]

uhh is extra supposed to be using two equals... cause it certianly doesnt look like it
also wait you dont even have a return statement there (reffering to line 1199)

you're missing a comma after the end for calculate and befopre check_for_unlock

[wispy sparrow]

apparently putting return at line 1199 doesn't work and if i put the comma at line 1205 it says there's an unexpected symbol

[bitter portal]

i just want to ask... how familiar with programming in lua (and programming languages in general) are you?

[wispy sparrow]

i'm still learning, i've only made 2 jokers entirely with lua

[bitter portal]

I see.
You may want to familiarize yourself with programming concepts and lua more. That is my advice.

[valid leaf]

Gradient stuff isn't working, help

[red flower]

put the rarity below the gradient code

test doesnt exist before you declare it

[umbral zodiac]

does anyone know this ive been looking thru other stuff for a while and i got no clue

[wispy sparrow]

ok wait hang on, i might have found a good place to put a return statement

[red flower]

I don't think anything in that screenshot is correct if I'm honest

[wispy sparrow]

okay yeah your probably right

[valid leaf]

works now, thanks

[wispy sparrow]

at the very least it let me into a blind without crashing

[red flower]

i know self.GAME.stake has the current one, and i think then i checks the ones below it
try looking at SMODS.setup_stake

[red flower]

what are you trying to do

[umbral zodiac]

oh i might be stupid 🥀

i was searching through the whole workspace to find it assuming it was more difficult because i hadnt found someone who had the same question answered before

[wispy sparrow]

basically, i'm trying to make a evil blueprint in which it copies the joker to the left, but has a 1/5 chance of not doing anything

[red flower]

is that all?

[wispy sparrow]

yeah

[red flower]

let me code it

[wispy sparrow]

one more thing: there is a 1/10 chance to 'forgive' itself and turn into a regular blueprint

[red flower]

when does it check the chance

[wispy sparrow]

at the end of the round

[red flower]

ignore what i just sent too i noticed a problem :p

[red flower]

something like this

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval and pseudorandom("seed") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds2 then
        card:set_ability("j_blueprint")
        return {
            message = "Forgiven"
        }
    end
    local other_joker = nil
    for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
        if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i - 1] end
    end
    if other_joker and pseudorandom("seed") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then -- use store the odds in config = {extra = {}}
        return {
            message = "Nope!",
            colour = G.C.RED
        }
    end
    return SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context)
end

this will have a problem tho: it will say nope more often than it should

[molten relic]

if context.joker_main and next(context.poker_hands[card.ability.extra.type]) then what does this code mean? i have no idea

[red flower]

if it's in main joker scoring timing and the poker hand contains card.ability.extra.type

context.poker_hands is a table of all the hands contained (eg context.poker_hands["Pair"] contains all possible pairs), because the tables always exist even if empty, next is used to check if theyre not empty (therefore theres a possible hand to be made)

[molten relic]

oooo

okay

i get it

[upper yoke]

is it possible to add a card enhancement similar to how stone card works? Only difference being that I would like to make it so that it would turn its value into king and kind of make an entirely new suit if possible.

[red flower]

yeah, read the SMODS.Enhancement docs

[upper yoke]

doing so

[wispy sparrow]

well with the code i already have, it spams nope at literally anything for no reason after fixing the message part of the code

[red flower]

yeah the problem is that it's hard to detect when a blueprint is going to copy another joker without triggering side effects

[wispy sparrow]

actually, it might be because of my code using math.random instead of psuedorandom

[crisp coral]

nah, pseudorandom will still be called that many times

[red flower]

also fixed the code because im dumb

[regal bridge]

anyone know what's causign this error

i've been trying to debug it for 3 days and nothing

[red flower]

whats the code

[regal bridge]

main.lua is just an assert thing

[upper yoke]

im not entirely sure what weighting is for cards, my best guess is that it refers to how likely it is to appear as an enhancement but im not sure

[regal bridge]

@red flower

[red flower]

unlocked and discovered go outside of config

[onyx sonnet]

are you sure that the prefix is pkrmd

[regal bridge]

fixed that

still happeninfg

[placid star]

what is the table that determines that draw order of playing cards

[upper yoke]

ok looked it up and its basically what i said plus a little more

[red flower]

yeah if the prefix is correct i have no idea

[molten relic]

        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.repetitions, localize(card.ability.extra.type, 'poker_hands' ) } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and next(context.poker_hands[card.ability.extra.type]) then
            return {
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions
            }
        end
    end,
}```

[red flower]

G.deck.cards

[molten relic]

is there anything wrong with this code?

it crashed as soon as i played a hand

[regal bridge]

alright

i'm gonna refacter

everything

from scratch

[red flower]

what's the crash, also what's in your joker's config

[molten relic]

ill send the crash along with the entire code

the code:

    name = "The Inner Eye",
    key = "innereye",
    config = {
        extra = {
            repetitions = 1,
            type = 'Three of a Kind'
        }
    },
    loc_txt = {
        ['name'] = 'The Inner Eye',
        ['text'] = {
            [1] = 'If played {C:blue}hand{} contains',
            [2] = 'a {C:attention}Three of a Kind{},',
            [3] = 'retrigger all {C:attention}scored{} cards'
        }
    },
    ```

        x = 3,
        y = 0
    },
    cost = 7,
    rarity = 3,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = false,
    atlas = 'CustomJokers',
    
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.repetitions, localize(card.ability.extra.type, 'poker_hands' ) } }
    end,```

[placid star]

and draw_from_deck_to_hand is what draws the cards and that uses draw_card, but i cant tell what determines which card is drawn to hand

[molten relic]

bro why cant i send this

        if context.joker_main and next(context.poker_hands[card.ability.extra.type]) then
            return {
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions
            }
        end
    end,
}```

there

entire code

now the crash

[lofty sand]

is it possible to make any card/multiple cards count as "the first card counted in scoring" so that jokers like photograph and hanging chad can act off of them?

[molten relic]

huh

now it doesnt crash

but the card doesnt work

@red flower

[upper yoke]

how would you make an enhancement that sets a card to a specific rank?

[red flower]

it's drawn from last to first

[faint yacht]

Hook get_id and check for said enhancement.

Or hook set_ability to change rank on apply.

-# Or N's gonna provide a better solution-

[red flower]

i dont think so without a lot of trouble but i might be wrong

[red flower]

no youre very smart and awesome

[molten relic]

didnt cryptid do that? you could look at their code

[placid star]

does anyone know what function shuffles the order of the cards in G.deck

[red flower]

oh you can't have repetitions in joker_main

[lofty sand]

did they? I have no idea. do you know what in cryptid does that off the top of your head?

[molten relic]

uhm

[placid star]

isnt that all hands are first hand of round?

[molten relic]

no but id recognize it

[red flower]

pseudoshuffle, it's called at end of round and when blind is selected iirc

[molten relic]

its Labyrinth

[lofty sand]

cool, thanks

[molten relic]

how else do i do it?

[red flower]

context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play

[molten relic]

instead of...?

[red flower]

yeah what labyrinth does is much easier

[red flower]

joker_main

[molten relic]

ok

like this?

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play and next(context.poker_hands["Three of a Kind"]) then

[red flower]

yes

[molten relic]

ok

lets see...

[lament agate]

how do you get suits

from played cards

[red flower]

card.base.suit

[lament agate]

oh

thats probably why

[regal bridge]

i have no idea what I did to trigger this

but yeah

[molten relic]

it works yay

[lofty sand]

this one says it's

"All hands are considered the
first hand of each round,
all discards are considered the
first discard of each round"

Did they change it or smth?

[upper yoke]

is this actually possible or should I give up on this?

[red flower]

no it always did that

[molten relic]

oh i read it wrong

your message

oop

[wispy sparrow]

quick check up with my code for the evil blueprint, it works fine now although a friend of mine says that evil blueprint didn't recieve any specific context whenever something happens so it does it for literally every single context in the game

[molten relic]

evil blueprint??

baller

[wispy sparrow]

so i added if context.blueprint then before it does it and

[upper yoke]

cus im looking at the documentation and I cant find any part where this can be done

[lament agate]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            local suits = {}
            for _, playing_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if not playing_card.debuff then
                    local suit = card.base.suit()
                    if suit and not suits[suit] then
                        suits[suit] = true
                    end
                end
            end

            local suit_count = 0
            for _ in pairs(suits) do
                suit_count = suit_count + 1
            end

            if suit_count == 2 then
                return {
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }
            end
        end
    end
}

for some reason it crashes trying to index suit

[midnight hornet]

do you have any suggestions to this workflow?

[upper yoke]

im under the impression that this cannot be done because im not seeing anywhere where this can be done

[lament agate]

i think you can only increase and decrease

[red flower]

that's correct, it's how blueprint works

[red flower]

set_ability?

[lament agate]

Nh, help me

[red flower]

what's up

sorry if im slow im in the middle of work stuff

[lament agate]

its alright

[lament agate]

@red flower

[red flower]

card.base.suit is not a function

[lament agate]

oh

fuck

what do then

[red flower]

also where is suits declared

nvm i see it code is hard on phone

[red flower]

remove the ()

[lament agate]

on card base suit?

[regal bridge]

this is ugly

but it works

[red flower]

ye

[red flower]

why it looks fine

[lament agate]

if it aint broke, dont fix it

[red flower]

oh is it the loc_txt

[regal bridge]

i want to add more than just jokers, and this is an addon to the Pokermon Mod so

[rotund sable]

btw if your pos is 0,0 you don't have to define it

0,0 is the default

[regal bridge]

oh

ight

[wispy sparrow]

is there even a way to make the evil blueprint not spam the console with repetitions

[red flower]

ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(...)
if ret then
     return ret
end

[wispy sparrow]

but where do i put it within the code though?

wait hang on, there doesn't seem to be any errors when i put it after the check_for_unlock part of the code other than the 3 dots, which i assume i have to put something in there

[red flower]

you replace the return SMODS.blueprint for it

the ... should be replaced for what you already have inside the ()

[wispy sparrow]

like this then?

oh and there's still repetitions and crashes after some time trying to index a nil value again

[upper yoke]

I need help figuring out how this works

[sonic cedar]

good slighty-after-noon modding dev

[red flower]

do you want the card to become the rank or to be treated as the rank while it has the achievement

[wispy sparrow]

after some tinkering i did manage to lower the amount of repetitions but it still crashes

[upper yoke]

while it has the enhancement

at least im assuming you meant enhancement

[red flower]

yeah lol clicked the wrong autocorrect

i think that's not very easy to do no

i wouldn't recommend it at least

[red flower]

please fix your indentation

[wispy sparrow]

alright just formatted the document, hows this

[rotund sable]

why is the check_for_unlock in the calc function

[wispy sparrow]

i utilized the code from the og blueprint for the evil blueprint

[red flower]

i forgot to add local before ret

but also it will still display the warning because of the nope message... it's a bit complicated tbh

[sonic cedar]

Can you use card_eval_status_text with context.other_card as the target? trying this seems to crash my game

[wispy sparrow]

i already added local before ret but arg still tries to index a nil value

[upper yoke]

ok thanks, i think ill just keep my enhancement as a card that does nothing, i am planning on trying to add a joker that gives mult based on how many of that enhanced card are in the deck

[regal bridge]

anyone know how to fix this

[red flower]

can i see the crash

[red flower]

ohh that's the unlock i didnt notice

replace args type for args and args.type

[wispy sparrow]

wait, i removed the few lines relating to checking for unlocks and it actually works without crashing

but it still doesn't copy the joker to the left

maybe if i add blueprint's config line into evil blueprints?

[regal bridge]

can anyone figure out why the in game text displays for powerband bur not for goldribbon

[rotund sable]

loc_txt vs loc_text

[sonic cedar]

anyone know?

[wispy sparrow]

even after all of that it still doesn't copy the joker to the left and i have no idea why

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local other_joker
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i - 1] end
        end
        local compatible = other_joker and other_joker ~= card and other_joker.config.center.blueprint_compat
        main_end = (card.area and card.area == G.jokers) and {
            {
                n = G.UIT.C,
                nodes = {
                    {
                        n = G.UIT.C,
                        config = { ref_table = card, align = "m", colour = compatible and mix_colours(G.C.GREEN, G.C.JOKER_GREY, 0.8) or mix_colours(G.C.RED, G.C.JOKER_GREY, 0.8), r = 0.05, padding = 0.06 },

[sonic cedar]

why is the blueprint effect in a ret

instead of just return SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context) i mean

[sonic cedar]

ohhh i see

[wispy sparrow]

regardless the evil blueprint doesn't blueprint

[sonic cedar]

try putting the for loop within the else statement?

something like

[wispy sparrow]

at a glance, this could probably really help getting rid of the repetitions i've been getting spammed in the console

[sonic cedar]

did it work or you havent tested yet

[wispy sparrow]

oop nevermind, it crashed trying to index blueprint as a nil value

[sonic cedar]

send?

[wispy sparrow]

oh fuck my bad

[sonic cedar]

lmao

[wispy sparrow]

another case of me making a typo

[sonic cedar]

all good

does it work now?

[wispy sparrow]

different crash this time

[sonic cedar]

it's a table

you use []

why did you even change it actually it was fine before

that looks to be the only other thing though

[lament agate]

huh

[wispy sparrow]

yeah it's still not doing it

[red flower]

pseudorandom("seed", min_number, max_number)

[lament agate]

ohhh okay

[sonic cedar]

hi nxkoo

[graceful vapor]

The font 💀

[sonic cedar]

unlucky asf oml

[karmic nest]

how do you make a tag

[sonic cedar]

are you returning your variables

[red flower]

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

[sonic cedar]

cause it doesnt look like youre returning your variables, only main_end

[karmic nest]

sorry call the tag in a joker

[red flower]

add_tag(Tag("tag_key"))

👋

[red flower]

hi dilliard

[modern kindle]

Hi N

How are you bestie westie

[red flower]

honestly today im feeling really good

[modern kindle]

Hell yea

[red flower]

wbu did you get your money back

[foggy ginkgo]

Why is bro evil

[modern kindle]

I did yes!
I then immediately spent it on my first concert ticket

This mf was 518 bucks

[wispy sparrow]

i'm not sure actually

[sonic cedar]

can you send a ss of your locvars

i almost missed dilly hi dilly

[modern kindle]

Hi hi

How are you

it's literally just blueprint but copies the opposide direction

[sonic cedar]

you're not returning your vars

[valid leaf]

is there a way to change how much a specific card appears in the shop?

[red flower]

not easily no

[karmic nest]

still having trouble

[red flower]

have you tried tag_[your mod's prefix]_wof?

wait no sorry

tag_[your mod's prefix]_tag_wof

you dont need to add tag to the key manually

[karmic nest]

just tried and nothing showed up

[red flower]

can i see

[valid leaf]

currently I have a separate type of consumable to change that, but it would cause problems if I wanted to add another consumable of the same type that appears more frequently, is there another way?

[karmic nest]

like the game or the code

becuase the tag never showed up

[wispy sparrow]

honestly, i'm pretty lost as to where exactly to return the main_end vars

[red flower]

no because of how balatro's system works

you would have to rewrite it (i have)

[red flower]

code

[sonic cedar]

or whatever your vars in config are

[wispy sparrow]

do the quotations have to blank or no

[sonic cedar]

dying
this time my body feels a little better
abs are still sore from a few days ago though

[sonic cedar]

hold

[modern kindle]

I will fix you and all will be well

[sonic cedar]

thatd be sick

[red flower]

joker code

[valid leaf]

I see, thank you

[red flower]

it didnt crash?

[tawdry oriole]

would next(context.poker_hands['Royal Flush']) work to find if played hand is a royal flush?

[urban wasp]

why isn't this giving xchips? everything else works though

...
                return {
                    message = "X" .. number_format(lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.xchipsmult)) .. " Chips and Mult",
                    sound = "crp_multiplicativechipsmult",
                    xchips = lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.xchipsmult),
                    xmult = lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.xchipsmult),
                    remove_default_message = true,
                    colour = { 0.8, 0.45, 0.85, 1 } -- plasma deck colors
                }
...

[wispy sparrow]

okay i'm probably gonna assume that i have to put 'hold' into the quotations, not sure though

[red flower]

i dont think so, it would be straight flush still

[sonic cedar]

return{
  main_end = main_end,
  vars = {
    card.ability.extra.yourvariableinconfig1,
    card.ability.extra.yourvariableinconfig2, 
    --etc
  }
}

[karmic nest]

for that iteration, no

[wispy sparrow]

oh okay

[tawdry oriole]

alright, thanks

[sonic cedar]

no i was telling you to hold on lmfao

[red flower]

hmm weird I have no idea

[karmic nest]

i think i know whats wrong one sec

[midnight hornet]

is it possible to speed up / skip the animation when entering the MAIN_MENU? I'm using this mod for speed up game play (https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/MoreSpeeds.lua) but the MENU entering animation is still slow.

[red flower]

there's a new context i PR'd in next smods that allows you to check for royal flush

[tawdry oriole]

oh really?

what is it

[red flower]

context.evaluate_poker_hand and context.display_name == "Royal Flush"
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/777

BUT this works when selecting a card too

[tawdry oriole]

ohh okay

[wispy sparrow]

no dice

[red flower]

so you need to check if it's being played

[tawdry oriole]

alright thanks

[sonic cedar]

what does your locvars look like now

[karmic nest]

heres my little royal flush tracker

[urban wasp]

this ain't even a bump it's a poke

[wispy sparrow]

for some more clarity, here's the config of evil blueprint

maybe i missed 2 variables?

[sonic cedar]

...what are those for exactly...?

[wispy sparrow]

the odds are the for the chances where it doesn't do anything and forgives itself respectively

[sonic cedar]

no not those

the ones that already get returned in main end

[urban wasp]

the yellow underline under config here suggests you have two configs btw

[wispy sparrow]

so i should go put those 2 variables back into main end?

[sonic cedar]

why did you take them out

[wispy sparrow]

honestly, i was unsure if there was a conflict between the config of the joker and the config of main end

[sonic cedar]

they are two different things

main_end needs a config for the ui

joker needs a config for... well the joker

[wispy sparrow]

god damnit

[sonic cedar]

regular blueprint doesnt need one because it doesnt have its own effect, it's just copying everyone else

[urban wasp]

Nope!

[red flower]

yeah the problem is the nope message

honestly, I would remove it

[sonic cedar]

same

[wispy sparrow]

but how am i supposed to implement the mechanic that it has a 1/5 chance to not do anything

[sonic cedar]

just

dont do anything

?

[red flower]

yeah instead of a message it just does nothing haha

[wispy sparrow]

so your telling me to do this right?

[red flower]

yeah

[sonic cedar]

or even just put a not in the conditional if you dont want the ifelse? im

but thisll work

[wispy sparrow]

well at the very least the 'Nope!' spam is gone

[sonic cedar]

unlucky

[urban wasp]

okay this is an actual bump now

[red flower]

whats that joker to the left

[sonic cedar]

reading now

[wispy sparrow]

it gives x1.5 mult for every played heart and/or club

[red flower]

is it yours can i see the code for it

[wispy sparrow]

considering it can proc multiple times i'm using that to test evil blueprint, i made that joker by the way

[red flower]

did you try with another joker

[wispy sparrow]

even with a different joker nothing happens

[red flower]

hmm i cant watch videos rn sadly

[sonic cedar]

synopsis: nothing happened

[urban wasp]

this doesn't really help, still unsure what the issue is

[sonic cedar]

actually better idea
have you tried x_chips with an underscore

[urban wasp]

yes

still didn't work

[wispy sparrow]

wait hold the fuck on

i swapped the code when it actually procs with og blueprint's and it actually works now?

[sonic cedar]

it's like you screwed up your code somewhere or something.... /s /lh

[sonic cedar]

? send code?

[urban wasp]

okay so now it works

[sonic cedar]

oml

[urban wasp]

i probably just didn't save the file accidentally when i tested it like 10 mins ago

[sonic cedar]

yeah that'll do it

[faint yacht]

-# Damn, so the probability change kinda broke Virtual PC's chance check... to the point that game hard crashes due to an infinite loop.

[red flower]

is it because it checks every context?

[sonic cedar]

is it out

[faint yacht]

INFO - [G] 1    table: 0x3aec3340    main_eval: true
buying_card: true
cardarea: table
card: table

INFO - [G] 1    table: 0x3aec3340    main_eval: true
mod_probability: true
denominator: 15
cardarea: table
numerator: 1

...

The 2nd one repeats on and on until game bails.

[red flower]

looking at SMODS code mod_probability and fix_probability are just banned from retriggers

so you could probably do the same

[faint yacht]

I'd assume copying is also not allowed... 'cause Virtual PC's trying to copy anything besides being copied.

[sonic cedar]

please..... someone.... why does the face card xmult gain trigger twice.... do i have to do the squareroot trick again or can it be fixed

[wispy sparrow]

okay wait hang on

the joker i was testing evil blueprint with doesn't work with og blueprint for some reason

[faint yacht]

Changing the overall condition to if context and not (context.mod_probability or context.fix_probability) then did fix the crash... but there's definitely a noticable stutter.

[sonic cedar]

is it blueprint incompatible

[wispy sparrow]

yeah it is

[sonic cedar]

can

can i see the joker

[sonic cedar]

tin

[wispy sparrow]

oh my god

[sonic cedar]

tin im going to get you

[faint yacht]

christ. 😂

[sonic cedar]

oh my goodness gracious

[wispy sparrow]

i'm such an idiot

[sonic cedar]

it happens

[red flower]

ah yeah i always forget about quantum enhancements because i dont use optional features lol

[pure salmon]

how would i do the effect of this return table in the event?

[red flower]

SMODS.calculate_effect([table here], card)

[sonic cedar]

calculate_effect iirc

[pure salmon]

oh that's what that does

helpful to know

[sonic cedar]

example with one of mine

[red flower]

calculate_effect does everything a return table does except sometimes not

[sonic cedar]

except when it doesnt

[red flower]

but i recommend it for messages

[sonic cedar]

same

[faint yacht]

That's better... and no hiccups when hovered over.

[sonic cedar]

now we're getting somewhere

has this dropped or still indev
(the new prob i mean)

[faint yacht]

Mine? Still testing locally... and, as this works, that's done... just that I'd also want to clean up the effect merging as it was made before the merge function was added.

[sonic cedar]

ohhh i thought this was the smods probability thing they were working on nvm nvm

[red flower]

still in dev

release this week probably according to eremel

[sonic cedar]

then i have time

[faint yacht]

Yeah, had to change to if context and not (context.mod_probability or context.fix_probability or context.check_enhancement or context.no_blueprint) then being the main check.

[sonic cedar]

i see i see

[faint yacht]

-# Though I may need to invert for context.no_blueprint, oops.

[red flower]

i will save this because i know we will get many questions about this haha

[wispy sparrow]

oh my god it's finally does it's job!

now i gotta check if the forgive mechanic it has works

[placid star]

is there a way to do a counter loop in reverse? e.g 14 to 1. its not liking for i = 1, 14 do

[primal robin]

local j = 14 - i

[red flower]

for i = 14, 1, -1

[primal robin]

[sonic cedar]

i like how the answer was just "go down"

[red flower]

this goes from 13 to 0, fired

[sonic cedar]

doing the square root trick because it works
but this time it didnt work so i updated the not list a teeny bit

[red flower]

i dont understand what youre doing but if it works it works

[sonic cedar]

it's the same issue as chud if you remember

xmult gain triggering twice

[faint yacht]

I'll need to figure out the merge function.

[red flower]

i made it so if you have any questions

[sonic cedar]

oh my god it's john... mergefunction?

[red flower]

they call me that yes

[sonic cedar]

nice

[faint yacht]

Eventually, currently outside.

[sonic cedar]

why did

[red flower]

i cant watch videos anyway

[sonic cedar]

i didnt even mean for that one to be a ping

[faint yacht]

But I just need to merge effects of all Jokers - Virtual PC copies every compatible Joker, after all.

[red flower]

rude

[sonic cedar]

wait were kinda twinning

[placid star]

why does my vs hate this?

[red flower]

you cant declare and assign at the same time

[sonic cedar]

where is cards being declared

[red flower]

or whatever the words are

[sonic cedar]

how is vs supposed to know that it even exists if you dont declare it

(example: ranks in the same image)

[placid star]

so have a local cards above the loop?

[red flower]

local cards = {}

[placid star]

ty ty!

[sonic cedar]

n can you help with my infoqueue returning only blank error

i forgot the image

[wispy sparrow]

thank god for me also playing with cryptid to guarantee chances

now i know that the forgiven mechanic works

[sonic cedar]

it detects properly, but the info_queue boxes dont load anything

[red flower]

whats v

[sonic cedar]

the joker's key in the table

[red flower]

also im about to get out of work so i might take a bit to respond

[red flower]

try G.P_CENTERS[v]

[sonic cedar]

got it

hell yeah thanks

why does stencil's info_queue return a Currently Xnil?

thinking it's probably because of the joker not having its detection setup, just the effect

no idea why giving him marble joker effect makes it give 2 stone cards though

[wispy sparrow]

okay what the hell did i do

[daring fern]

G.jokers doesn't always exist.

[wispy sparrow]

but it happened while i was in the main menu though

[daring fern]

Yes.

G.jokers doesn't exist then.

[wispy sparrow]

so i should rename it then so that it can function in the main menu?

[faint yacht]

Check for G.jokers existing first.

[wispy sparrow]

and i assume i have to add a if statement before the for line relating to G.jokers existing right?

[faint yacht]

If G.jokers exists, do stuff.

[wispy sparrow]

i'm not sure if this would work or not

minus the fact that i fucking made a typo again

[faint yacht]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  if G.jokers then
    -- do stuff here.
  end
end

For @red flower later, https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/9c3845178857ec8545bbaa049372902302acccb3/items/joker.lua#L312-L349 for cleaner merging question.

[wispy sparrow]

alright it works now, thank you!

[red flower]

vanilla bug

[sonic cedar]

oh ok
is that also why it doesnt detect slots on the actual mult trigger, or is that something im supposed to add to the ijiraq myself?

as in it always gives x1

[red flower]

uhh no idea sorry i dont touch vanilla jokers

[sonic cedar]

you touched all of them 😭

but im messing ur good

[red flower]

yeah but like

[sonic cedar]

i can just do what i did for golden joker not working probably

[placid star]

say i have a for loop with this table, if i wanted to start at a random element then go in order e.g. Clubs, Diamonds, Spades, Hearts how could i do that with the wrapping aroud... if that makes any sense...

[faint yacht]

if not suits[#suits+1] then var = suits[1] end

@red flower, noted the pinging message?

[red flower]

yeah but ill read the code when im home

[faint yacht]

👍 Ping whenever.

[molten relic]

i have this idea for a joker right

add xmult equal to half of the lowest played cards rank

but then do i even put anything in config?

[rotund sable]

config can be empty

[molten relic]

and is loc_vars then empty aswell?

because thats like bout config is it not

[thorn furnace]

wouldn't this be

if not suits[#suits] then var = suits[1] end

[rotund sable]

it's about passing variables into the description and what not

also info queues

[molten relic]

im really bad at this

[rotund sable]

which is the bonus window when hovering over something

[rotund sable]

everyone starts somewhere

[urban wasp]

why does this crash happen and how can i fix it?

SMODS.Stake {
    key = "stencil",
    applied_stakes = { "cry_square" },
    atlas = "crp_stake",
    pos = { x = 2, y = 0 },
    shiny = true,
    colour = HEX("bccacc"),
    modifiers = function()
        G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card.limit - 1
    end,
    crp_credits = {
        idea = { "Unknown" },
        art = { "Grahkon" },
        code = { "wilfredlam0418", "Glitchkat10" }
    }
}

[daring fern]

Try putting it in an event.

[urban wasp]

like this?

...
    modifiers = function()
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.1,
            func = function()
                G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card.limit - 1
            end
        }))
    end,
...

nope 😭

[molten relic]

what should i put in loc_vars 😭

[daring fern]

Remove the trigger and delay and put if not G.jokers then return false end

[rotund sable]

you don't have to put anything there if you don't have variables in description (for example #1#) or info windows like talisman

[molten relic]

is that what loc_vars is for?

[red flower]

yes

[molten relic]

oh yeah i guess so

[red flower]

you can have no loc_vars if your description doesn't change at all

[molten relic]

what jokers should i peek at to kinda learn how to make that effect

raised fist?

[rotund sable]

Probably

[red flower]

raised fist but for G.play instead of G.hand

[molten relic]

ok

oh shit YOU MADE vanillaremade?

damn

[rotund sable]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src%2Fjokers.lua#L695-L727

[red flower]

:3

[molten relic]

what does this mean

local temp_Mult, temp_ID = 15, 15

[red flower]

it's initializing two variables at the same time

i usually dont do it like that but i copied it from vanilla

[molten relic]

yeah but should i copy that?

with Xmult?

[red flower]

yeah i would cooy the same thing and then divide it by half instead of multiplying it

[molten relic]

but also copy temp_Mult

[red flower]

15 is higher than any rank in vanilla so it's just initializing them to a high value

[molten relic]

or make it like idk temp_xmult

[red flower]

the name doesn't matter there

[molten relic]

oh ok

[red flower]

only the return at the end

[molten relic]

whar?

[molten relic]

oh yeah i wasnt there yet

do i have to replace every instance of g.hand with g.play?

[urban wasp]

oh no

SMODS.Stake {
    key = "stencil",
    applied_stakes = { "crp_square" },

                    return false
                end
                G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit - 1
            end

        idea = { "Unknown" },
        art = { "Grahkon" },
        code = { "wilfredlam0418" }
    }
}

we are not recovering

[daring fern]

You need to return true at the end.

[urban wasp]

ah okay

[red flower]

yes

[thorn furnace]

For some reason I get this error at the end of round when my health goes down (thanks to joker in third screenshot)
Though when I change my health manually (via the console) it works fine, so I'm not sure what is happening here

[molten relic]

okay it almost works

if not all played cards score, it does nothing

does g.score exist?

[urban wasp]

okay my last issue is that the stake that stencil stake applies also tries to apply ascendant stake from cryptid, but it just doesn't

SMODS.Stake {
    key = "square",
    applied_stakes = { "cry_ascendant" },
    atlas = "crp_stake",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    shiny = true,
    modifiers = function()
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                if not G.hand then 
                    return false
                end
                G.hand.config.highlighted_limit = G.hand.config.highlighted_limit - 1
                return true
            end
        }))
    end,
    crp_credits = {
        idea = { "Unknown" },
        code = { "wilfredlam0418" }
    }
}

(it applying ascendant stake in specific is placeholder rn btw; i wouldn't be THAT horrible)

[red flower]

context.scoring_hand

[molten relic]

so replace g.play with that?

[red flower]

yes except the context.cardarea if you have that

[molten relic]

i have that yeah

line 224:

for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand.cards do

[red flower]

oh yeah, remove all the .cards

context.scoring_hand is already the list of cards

[haughty cargo]

where is the ancient joker suit value stored?

[red flower]

G.GAME.current_round.ancient_card.suit
if im not mistaken

im looking at vremade so maybe i changed the name

[copper thorn]

i need help again, my joker doesn't trigger it should randomly give between 1 and 20 $

[molten relic]

you are a fucking livesaver

god bless you man

i could NOT do this by myself

[scarlet imp]

N' the goat frl

[ivory coral]

i dont think money_gain is a thing, replace it with dollars

[red flower]

also pseudorandom needs a seed as the first argument

[copper thorn]

f#ck

like this ?

[molten relic]

spongebob me boy

[haughty cargo]

yeah, thanks

[copper thorn]

it doesn't triggers still and doens't give money

[rotund sable]

i done it like mail-in rebate but instead of discard when hand played

if context.joker_main and not context.blueprint then
    G.GAME.dollar_buffer = (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0) + card.ability.extra.dollars
    return {
        dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars,
        func = function() -- This is for timing purposes, it runs after the dollar manipulation
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()

[ivory coral]

your loc_vars is missing an end
also i think you have one too many ends at the end

[tawdry oriole]

is there any mod similar to talisman that is capable to go past naneinf?

[urban wasp]

i don't believe so, why?

[tawdry oriole]

i'd like to have a way to go past naneinf without talisman (=my mod's incompatible with it)

[urban wasp]

-# why is your mod incompatible with talisman in the first place

[copper thorn]

it woorks now, idk why i always get f#cked by thses kind of errors

[tawdry oriole]

(no clue)

[red flower]

something like this
I don't know if you need all the repetition stuff but I left it there just in case

[ivory coral]

nice
i think those two errors actually coincided in such a way to just barely not crash
either one on its own would have

[daring fern]

No.

[tawdry oriole]

alrighty

well i'm gonna try with talisman then

[copper thorn]

• lua extension wasn't marking it not even in yellow so ...

[ivory coral]

most likely reason is because your mod doesnt account for talisman bignum tables
if you get an error along the lines of "attempt to compare number with table" this is why and its quite fixable

[faint yacht]

Repetition is for also copying added repetitions-- even then, I kinda am referencing it incorrectly with card.ability.extra 😂.

[sonic cedar]

is there a draw version of context.discard or is that drawing_cards

[red flower]

context.hand_drawn

[sonic cedar]

see but that's the hand

[red flower]

drawing_cards is before drawing

[sonic cedar]

discard is per card

[red flower]

oh, no there isnt

[tawdry oriole]

how would i make it compatible then?

[sonic cedar]

guess ill have to make it myself hhh

[daring fern]

Yes, because the game thought you were trying to put calculate in loc_vars

[red flower]

do you need it to be per card

[sonic cedar]

yes

[red flower]

why

[sonic cedar]

because it's counting per card drawn

[pure salmon]

how do i change the played hand by a custom amount of levels instead of just putting level_up = true in my return table to get 1 level

[red flower]

you can do it in hand_drawn too

[sonic cedar]

what

[daring fern]

level_up = number

[pure salmon]

oh

[red flower]

context.hand_drawn is a list of the cards drawn, if you want a message for each you can even do a chain of extra tables in the return

[pure salmon]

wait you can do that

[ivory coral]

if thats the issue youre running into then you can use talisman's to_number() function
talisman changes some internal values to be special tables instead of normal nubers so the function converts them into numbers you can work with
so for any variable that is causing a crash because its attempting to compare with table or something similar wrap it in a to_number() and it should work
also make sure to put to_number = to_number or function(x) return x end in your code to make it work without talisman too

[ivory coral]

whoops forgot to send as reply

[daring fern]

No, you use to_big()

[sonic cedar]

so if i wanted to do a reverse yorick and have a counter increment with each card drawn how would that work

[ivory coral]

to_big() turns it into a talisman bignum doesnt it

which isnt useful here

[red flower]

counter = counter + #context.hand_drawn

[faint yacht]

So do I just remove the whole context.repetition block, now that merge_effects is used instead?

[sonic cedar]

oh awesome

[daring fern]

Yes.

[ivory coral]

if youre trying to get a number value to perform arithmetic or comparisons you wouldnt want a bignum table though wouldnt you

[red flower]

You want to turn the normal numbers into talisman's bignum, because if you do the opposite you can mess up with the bignums or do wrong calculations when the numbers are big enough

[daring fern]

No.

[red flower]

I would

[ivory coral]

huh i had no idea
i thought bignum was like a table which you cant do stuff with
what does to_number() do then

[urban wasp]

person []s somebody
"hey i'm walkin' here!"

-# (the word is bump)

[daring fern]

It turns Talisman bignums into numbers.

[idle plaza]

Talisman uses Lua's Metatable functionality so that you can perform arithmetic on the BigNum tables. The issue is that even though number + BigNum works, number > BigNum just doesn't. I think it's just a Lua issue.

[red flower]

it turns them into a normal number so what you said does work
the problem is if you for example want to see if the score is less than 2000
1e309 (bignum) < 2000 (normal) if you do to_big it works correctly because 2000 is a valid bignum, if you do to_number it doesn't because 1e309 is not a valid number (I don't think it will crash but it will lead to unintended side effects)

[ivory coral]

ooooh
i see now
i though theyd both have to be numbers but both bignum works too okay
that makes more sense

[red flower]

totally forgot what the number limit was im not a real balatrohead

[scarlet imp]

how do I transform one card into another card? Like I want to have a reroll mechanic for cards, but as of right now all it does is add cards into the cardarea I'm rerolling, rather than "changing" the card

[red flower]

card:set_ability("the other key")

[scarlet imp]

ok I'll try that

[red flower]

didnt i suggest that to you

maybe i did in my head

[scarlet imp]

I got it to work with add_card() since before it was just the shop, I needed to delete the cards anyway

But now I wanna do it with G.jokers so I can't delete the cards

[red flower]

yeah that should work

[scarlet imp]

alright sick

[urban wasp]

last bump for now until i ditch this

[void sparrow]

question:

is it posible to make a joker that gives xmult the value of the numbers of e's in final score?

[urban wasp]

actually i would also like to know

[hardy viper]

uhh

you can just make a joker that does nothing

because that would be incredibly redundant

[urban wasp]

cat_owl

[hardy viper]

hey thats ^^^mult not xmult

[tawdry oriole]

😭

[urban wasp]

yeah but also like same question

[hardy viper]

i dont know the answer

[void sparrow]

thats just what i wanted to know because if its possible for ^^^Mult it would also be able for xmult

[hardy viper]

theres a nice fancy mathematical way to do it that doesnt involve the actual displayed score

but idk it

ask one of the math freaks around here

theyre not freaks

theyre freaky about math

[urban wasp]

-# well

nah we're all freaks 😭

[hardy viper]

im no freak

[urban wasp]

nope i insist

[hardy viper]

damn

💔

[urban wasp]

🥀

alright then fine

[hardy viper]

omg

i hate that

[tawdry oriole]

ts full house 🥀 💔

[urban wasp]

was that chocolate milk

[hardy viper]

i keep forgetting

[faint yacht]

Something something store the score in variable, then repeatedly divide by 10 and increase an another temporary variable that will technically hold the e... then subtract minimum amount of es that the game will display. 🤔

[urban wasp]

#💻・modding-dev message

there it is

[urban wasp]

alright might ask again in a few days then

[median veldt]

bump

[red flower]

tested it, it kinda works but the problem is that the hand played has the count updated before it reaches your code

you might want to do a - 1

[median veldt]

how so?

[red flower]

else you would need to play all hands once before any hand counts as the least played

[median veldt]

for me it's not working at all

even after adding that

[red flower]

no idea then, i did remove all the emult stuff

[median veldt]

as you can see i have played two high cards

so i will now play a pair

it just doesnt upgrade

lemme change it up a lil and try smth

ok i tried doing context.before and it still didn't work

[red flower]

can i see how the code looks now

[median veldt]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
        local current_played = G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played or 0
        return {
            message = current_played,
            colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION,
        }
        -- if (function()
        --     local current_played = G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played or 0
        --     for handname, values in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
        --         if handname ~= context.scoring_name and values.played < current_played and values.visible then
        --             return false
        --         end
        --     end
        --     return true
        -- end)() then
        --     card.ability.extra.emult = card.ability.extra.emult + card.ability.extra.gain
        --     return {
        --         message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
        --         colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION,
        --     }
        -- end
    end
    if context.joker_main then
        return {
            remove_default_message = true,
            message = localize({type = "variable", key = "a_emult", vars = {card.ability.extra.emult}}),
            colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION,
            mult = (mult ^ card.ability.extra.emult) - mult
        }
    end
end

i changed it to the current_played thing just to test

and it's not even showing THAT

[red flower]

the cardarea check is not needed

[median veldt]

oh

still tho

[red flower]

did you do the - 1 thing

[pure salmon]

how do i get the level of the played poker hand?

[red flower]

see the code above haha

.level instead of .played

[pure salmon]

yeah that tracks

man after 0.7 maybe i should try writing some smods docs

i would sure as hell use them

[red flower]

yeah we lack vanilla docs very badly

[median veldt]

no because i thought it wouldnt need it since it's before

either way tho it's still not working

[red flower]

i think it updates it even before that

[median veldt]

if i try my test code i get

it i use the commented out code it just

still doesnt upgrade

[red flower]

i will send you the exact code i tested give me a sec

this

if context.joker_main then
            if (function()
                    local current_played = G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played and
                    G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played - 1 or 0
                    for handname, values in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
                        if handname ~= context.scoring_name and values.played < current_played and values.visible then
                            return false
                        end
                    end
                    return true
                end)() then
                return {
                    message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                    colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION,
                }
            end
            return {
                message = "fail"
            }
        end

[median veldt]

okay THAT worked thank you

i had just replaced the first G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played with G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played - 1 instead of having BOTH

[thorn furnace]

Bump

[scarlet imp]

I've been trying to get this to work, and is there a way I can generate a random Joker from a certain pool? because I don't wanna have to go and define tons of custom item pools manually

[red flower]

i mean any pool you make you would have to define somewhere, what's the goal?

[red flower]

do you have talisman

[thorn furnace]

I do

I tried changing the variables to to_big but that didn't change anything

So i just undid it

[red flower]

you need the opposite there, to_number

[thorn furnace]

Oh

[scarlet imp]

yeah I suppose. Originally I just wanted to use in_pool on all my modded Jokers but if doing it manually is necessary I guess I'll do that

[thorn furnace]

Lemme try

Thank uuu, it works perfectly

There is one final thing but it's significantly more minor
that being that in the script there i have the return statement that's like

return {
  message = localize('k_saved_ex'),
  saved = 'ph_health',
  colour = G.C.RED
}

I know normally instead of ph_health it's ph_bones

Where is that stored
I tried looking in localization in vanilla_remade but idk if it's just somewhere I haven't looked or smth

[scarlet imp]

I was able to make a custom saved message if that's what you're trying to do

[thorn furnace]

yeye

[scarlet imp]

in misc.dictionary I have ph_1_up for the message
then I have this

return {
    saved = "ph_1_up",
    message = localize("k_saved_ex"),
    colour = G.C.RED
}

it works fine for me

[thorn furnace]

oooo
thank u :3

[scarlet imp]

if the card is supposed to self-destruct, you can also add this before to create the mister bones effect:

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        play_sound("tarot1")
        card:start_dissolve()
        return true
    end
}))

[thorn furnace]

yea
It's part of a health mechanic

[foggy ginkgo]

How does make it so when the probability doesn't hit it would say "Nope"

        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint and
            pseudorandom('j_nic_incognito') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
            if not (context.other_card:is_suit("Spades")) then
                context.other_card.should_destroy = true
                card.ability.extra.xmult = (card.ability.extra.xmult) + 0.5
                return { message = "YUM MULT!", colour = G.C.BLACK }
            end
        end
        ```

Been trying to figure it out but there are times where cards don't even have a message to either say Yum mult or nope

[thorn furnace]

you start with 100 HP and then if you lose a blind, you sacrifice the percentage of HP relative to the percent of the blind you had left to score

So if you had 3000 chips and the blind was 4000, you would lose 25 HP since you had 25% of the blind left

[gray quartz]

my first idea is to seperate the pseudorandom from that first big if statement and make it its own thing, and then else it with a card_eval_status_text

[gray quartz]

for this

[scarlet imp]

that's really cool 🙂

[thorn furnace]

:3
After i implement the localization thing i shud be all good to release the mod

[foggy ginkgo]

How would one do that

[thorn furnace]

[gray quartz]

how do i format code text on discord

is it '''

[gray quartz]

ok ty

hold on

[foggy ginkgo]

Np

[thorn furnace]

```
and you specify the programming language at the top

so ```lua for example

[foggy ginkgo]

Yessir

[gray quartz]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint then
    if pseudorandom('j_nic_incognito') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
        if not (context.other_card:is_suit("Spades")) then
            context.other_card.should_destroy = true
            card.ability.extra.xmult = (card.ability.extra.xmult) + 0.5
            return { message = "YUM MULT!", colour = G.C.BLACK }
        end
    else
        card_eval_status_text(card, "extra", nil, nil, nil, {message = "Nope!"})
    end
end

might work or i might have added one too many end statements

i have no idea

[foggy ginkgo]

Yummy

[thorn furnace]

so in localization this wud just be like uhh

return {
    misc = {
        dictionary = {
            ph_health = {
                message = "Saved by the bell!"

this right?

ohhh okiii

I should really come up with a better message for it

[foggy ginkgo]

Let's take this for a spon

[scarlet imp]

"But it refused"

[thorn furnace]

Trueee

unertale...

[foggy ginkgo]

Goofyahhtale

[thorn furnace]

one could argue I should also localize my buttons
But that's even more complicated

probably

[gray quartz]

i just changed the name of my mod and a completely unrelated function broke 👍 love coding sm

[foggy ginkgo]

Also AYEEEE it worked

[gray quartz]

W

[foggy ginkgo]

Thank you wise horse

[gray quartz]

gifs blocked 💔

horse reaction

[foggy ginkgo]

😔

It actually makes sense now that I see the code

This is what I get for stealing- I mean borrowing code

[scarlet imp]

just look where "b_use" or whatever you need is in the source code, and put your button's text in there

[gray quartz]

i mean, in the same vein that all books are dictionary remixes, all code is already stolen

its just 0 or 1

[thorn furnace]

b_ sounds like a dictionary thing
I'll try there

[foggy ginkgo]

You're true

[urban wasp]

why does this

1. not apply diamond stake
2. appear at the end of the list of stakes and not directly above diamond stake

SMODS.Stake {
    key = "violet",
    name = "Violet Stake",
    applied_stakes = { "cry_diamond" },
    atlas = "crp_stake",
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    shiny = true,
    colour = HEX("8a71e1"),
    above_stake = "cry_diamond",
    modifiers = function()
        G.GAME.starting_params.ante_scaling = 2
    end,
    crp_credits = {
        idea = { "Unknown" },
        art = { "Grahkon" },
        code = { "wilfredlam0418" }
    }
}

i've been trying to figure this out for like over an hour and neither the smods wiki nor existing code from other mods seems to help

[thorn furnace]

that was a lot more simple than i thought

[scarlet imp]

yeah its not too bad

[thorn furnace]

debating if it's worth fixing the center thing before launch
It is literally the only thing to do other than release the mod (bc the text is center to the health bar and not to the center of the thing)

[foggy ginkgo]

Is there a way to have a joker card change the background of the game like how when opening a booster pack or am I trying to overdo things

[scarlet imp]

I think it looks fine, but centering it probably would make it look a bit nicer

[foggy ginkgo]

Health system? Oh hell naw it's peak

[thorn furnace]

[foggy ginkgo]

I agree

[thorn furnace]

yea thats what i was thinking
It doesnt look terrible but it's not the intent
But then again it's a UI thing so it's a nightmare to fix

[scarlet imp]

that's what I'm saying

[wispy sparrow]

so i have everything for a custom deck ready to do but the game is crashing at line 262 because the key is a nil value

[scarlet imp]

UI is really har imo so its just up to you whether you think its worth your time

[maiden phoenix]

forgot an equal after the key

[wispy sparrow]

oh right my bad

[thorn furnace]

the question is how long I would be willing to ask for help before someone smarter than me figures it out

[maiden phoenix]

Also if I isn't in already yet I'd recommend putting the card creation in an event, just to make sure G.jokers exists

[thorn furnace]

i need to get better at modding

[wispy sparrow]

i already have, don't worry

[scarlet imp]

I'm right there with ya, I've only been modding for like a month or so and I have 16

[thorn furnace]

i dont remember how long ive been modding

also about a month it seems

[scarlet imp]

damn, respect. Making a whole health bar in a month is crazy

[thorn furnace]

jojomod had harder things

well
I mean I had to make an entire cardarea for the healthbar so it's definitely hard

Heaven's Door wasn't easy either tho
It's still broken

[scarlet imp]

How bad is that btw? I'm gonna be adding a cardarea soon

[thorn furnace]

Ranges from easy to hard depending on what you're doing

[scarlet imp]

I want a second Joker cardarea that only allows Jokers with active abilities

[thorn furnace]

how would that work

[scarlet imp]

Not sure 😭

thats why I ask

I already have Jokers with active abilities I just need to make the cardarea

[urban wasp]

i am the biggest broken record at this point; bump
trying to fix these stakes because i have no clue on why they're just not working how i intend them to

[foggy ginkgo]

Where do I put the "to_big" thing for talisman bs

Or at least where do I put it to define it

[urban wasp]

if talisman is installed, to_big can be used any time in your own mod

you don't need to define it or anything

[foggy ginkgo]

Ah okay

What about this part of it

This will cause crashes as well because to_big doesn't exist without the mod installed, so to prevent that issue we can define it as follows somewhere else in the file:

to_big = to_big or function(x) return x end

Just wanna add this part just in case people have it without talisman

[scarlet imp]

is there a way I can retrieve the mod prefix from something modded? like a function or something

[red flower]

card.config.center.mod.prefix iirc

[vague crest]

where is the rate each rarity appears in the shop set, and is that conveniently changable? (in this context via a deck)

[red flower]

it is, the variable should be in the smods.rarity docs

G.GAME.common_mod, etc. i think

[vague crest]

ohhhh wait ok i think i remember hearing this

[short apex]

trying to make a joker that gains +3 mult is entirely spades and clubs, if any cards played are hearts/diamonds it sets back to 5
(its initial +mult is 5)

[red flower]

what's the issue

also I would recommend asking in the jokerforge thread

[hasty mist]

Is there a way to forcefully create a specific booster pack in the shop

[short apex]

idk if there is an issue actually ig i shouldve tested first oops-

[red flower]

SMODS.add_booster_to_shop(key)

[hasty mist]

what kind of context checks do i need to make it actually work

im not sure if theres a specific context for entering the shop

[maiden phoenix]

context.starting_shop

[short apex]

cool the mod now just crashes if you attempt to even look at the joker

[idle plaza]

Your atlas is called "Jokers", but your joker definition is looking for the "Joker" atlas.

[short apex]

what line?

[idle plaza]

43

[short apex]

oh...

[idle plaza]

Yeah, one or the other needs to be changed to match the other.

[short apex]

wait no i smart?

if i change the key and path and ominous line 43 to QXR would the code self destruct?
