fuck ths game

[midnight coyote]

would this code satisfy this condition

[sonic cedar]

why are you tryinh to index a boolean

[lament agate]

IM TRYING

[sonic cedar]

the "kms" unlock condition you need to be stopped

[midnight coyote]

im assuming this 2 globals mean anything here

[lament agate]

which one is right then

[midnight coyote]

its the 'you are an idiot' card

[sonic cedar]

so hold up both your hands, palm out
the one that makes an L is your left

[lament agate]

,,,

@manic rune gal, i still need your help

[manic rune]

wuh

[normal crest]

What's line 378

[manic rune]

dont try checking ret

[lament agate]

i rewritten it

[manic rune]

its just a bool value

[lament agate]

oh

mf

then

[normal crest]

hi bepis

[lament agate]

if ret.mult then

[sonic cedar]

hi srock

[manic rune]

key refers to stuff like mult, xmult, x_mult, etc etc

[lament agate]

hi brock

[manic rune]

hi srockw :3

[midnight coyote]

i need to like scientifically mess with my hand to make this unlock condition happen

[lament agate]

so like

mult?

no ret?

[midnight coyote]

oh wait

i could just make a card that scores the exact amount with debugplus

lol

[sonic cedar]

real

[manic rune]

mhm

[manic rune]

yeah you cant do that

[sonic cedar]

not how it works yeah

[normal crest]

Hi tom

the a was too far away to type with my right hand

[midnight coyote]

fishy haha :)

yay

[lament agate]

fhsy

[sonic cedar]

i forgive you

[manic rune]

alright one sec, lemme whip up an example code that, hopefully should work

[lament agate]

    local success, msg = pcall(function()
        if mult then
            xmult = (xmult or 1) * (1 + (mult or 0)/100)
            mult = nil
            if not message then
                message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = {xmult}}
                colour = G.C.MULT
            end
        end
    end)

[sonic cedar]

write a crash script

[lament agate]

I DID

[normal crest]

while true do end

[sonic cedar]

maybe.....wait for bepis... [hand on shoulder sticker]

[lament agate]

im

killing

any

one of you

[sonic cedar]

me me me

[lament agate]

[sonic cedar]

disappointment

[manic rune]

local ref = SMODS.calculate_individual_effect
function SMODS.calculate_individual_effect(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)
  if G.jokers and next(SMODS.find_card("j_tngt_autocorrect")) and key == "mult" then
    return ref(effect, scored_card, "xmult", amount, from_edition) --Changing key to xmult. If you want to change how much xmult it should give, change amount, I assume.
  else
    return ref(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)
  end
end

i assume this is how it works

[sonic cedar]

did you enjoy writing that in discord markdown

[manic rune]

yes :3

[lament agate]

i dont think

so

[manic rune]

i do this all the time lol

[lament agate]

how

[lament agate]

...

[sonic cedar]

how what

[lament agate]

do i keep the ret.mult?

[manic rune]

no

thats the entire code

[lament agate]

like this then

wrong

screenshto

im so

[manic rune]

????

[lament agate]

killing myself

zz

[manic rune]

???????

[lament agate]

like then

DUDE

NO

[lament agate]

like this>

[manic rune]

YOU DONT NEED THAT 😭

[sonic cedar]

NXKOO

[lament agate]

IM SO CONFUSED

[manic rune]

this is the ENTIRE code

[normal crest]

delete your entire code and copy bepis code

[sonic cedar]

THE WHOLE CODE IS IN THE SNIPPEt

😭

hi eastern

[rotund sable]

o/

[lament agate]

ijeqjfiqpojijpfqwcwinpdknlwijpccijpsaiwipqdpo

[manic rune]

im assuming thats how it works because i cant, find the original code for some reason

im just basing on how talisman hooks to it

😭

[normal crest]

you must only have the lsp defs as a library

and not the entire smods folder

[manic rune]

:3 idk how to do that sorry

[normal crest]

do you have a .vscode folder

[lament agate]

okay so

[manic rune]

this?

[lament agate]

it worked?

[normal crest]

Ya, what's inside settings

[lament agate]

but like

once

[lament agate]

bpeis

help

[manic rune]

wdym

[lament agate]

letme record it

[normal crest]

What about the one inside your mod folder

[manic rune]

wuh

thats the one

[sonic cedar]

big

[normal crest]

I see a different one inside BalatroStarRail

[manic rune]

oh yeah its this

[normal crest]

oh you do have it as a library

[manic rune]

huh

[normal crest]

Dunno why it doesn't find it

[manic rune]

might be because its inside bsr's folder?

i could try moving the entire thing outside

[lament agate]

i dont have bsr

[manic rune]

IM NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU NXKOO 😭

[lament agate]

OH

[normal crest]

It does that cus not every key is just "mult"

Vanilla jokers use "mult_mod"

[lament agate]

....

localMID

MIDthunk

[manic rune]

oooooh yeah, completely forgot about that

[lament agate]

how do i add

2 words

in it

[manic rune]

i have code for checking if the key is supposed to give mult btw :3

-# probably not perfect at all but still

[normal crest]

global functions

pain

[manic rune]

nxkoo

[sonic cedar]

which one is settings.json btw

[manic rune]

do you know what or is for.

[lament agate]

that should work

[normal crest]

Ya

[manic rune]

NO???

[lament agate]

oh

my bad

[normal crest]

Try just copying the contents of settings

[manic rune]

if key == "mult" or key == "mult_mod" then

[manic rune]

they were experimental :3

[lament agate]

thanks guys

yall the goats

sorry for my weetardation

[manic rune]

nxkoo go take some sleep 😭

[rotund sable]

after using some of balatro's ui system I think that some hate is honestly overexaggerated / based on other people's opinion. Sure some more advanced stuff is annoying and confusing as fuck but the more basic things are just more confusing html

<tag style=A> ... <\tag>

could be translated into

{n = tag, config = A, nodes = ...}

where tag is the type of an object to be displayed, A is the styling and ... are "children"

[lament agate]

IM GOING TO

[manic rune]

ui is sometimes incredibly janky because we use some functions in ways localthunk didnt plan for them to do

[gaunt coral]

is there any way to make a consumable be able to appear only if you have a legendary joker

[red flower]

i agree

but also most new modders don't know how to read their own code

[sonic cedar]

my ui hate will forever be justified

[manic rune]

for one, text input box doesnt let you type in 0 :3

[sonic cedar]

guilty (getting better)

[red flower]

yes use in_pool

[manic rune]

and it fucks up the alignment of ALL ui

-# still doesnt know the cause but at least the fix is simple

[sonic cedar]

what did you mean by this /genq

[rotund sable]

checkbox? or was that someone else

[pastel kernel]

is this the right way to write it?

    loc_txt = {
        name = "Dream",
        text = {"Creates a random {V:1,E:2}Fantastic{} joker", "{S:0.8,C:inactive}(Must have room.){}"}
    },
    loc_vars = {
        vars = {
            colours = { HEX('b00b69') }
            }
        },

[sonic cedar]

the effect took an hour at most

[midnight coyote]

loc vars is a function

[sonic cedar]

look at the loc_vars docs on the wiki to see how to format it properly

[rotund sable]

oh the refocus button. i now remember your struggles

[sonic cedar]

thank you for remembering

[midnight coyote]

loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
  return {
    colours = {
      HEX('b00b69') -- haw haw, very funny T_T
    }
  }  
end

[manic rune]

which, myst explained that its because seeds dont use 0

so typing in 0 converts it to o instead

it does that for profile's names too

:3

[sonic cedar]

seeds use l33tsp3@k

[manic rune]

i think theres a bunch more other stuff with ui that got me crying at 2 am

[midnight coyote]

mother obtain the recorder

[manic rune]

but uh

:3

[lament agate]

is there any jokers

nevermind

[manic rune]

:3 what does this mean btw

im noob

do i need assert?

[sonic cedar]

heavens, infant! threefold!

[red flower]

yes

[manic rune]

does it affect anything if i dont use it

[red flower]

no

[manic rune]

:3

[sonic cedar]

yeah whenever that happens you usually need assert in that case
its a vsc thing

[manic rune]

ok what is assert for, gotta google rq

[red flower]

it just crashes if it doesn't work

with a message

[manic rune]

i see

[sonic cedar]

and remember kids
crashing is good when youre a developer

[manic rune]

so just this, right?

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[manic rune]

yipee

new knowledge

[sonic cedar]

love when that happens

[midnight coyote]

how do i get a random tarot card's key without neccessarily creating the card

[modern kindle]

👋

[midnight coyote]

should i just manually put them all in a table

[sonic cedar]

omg hi dilly

[modern kindle]

Hello friends

[manic rune]

hi dilly

[sonic cedar]

that is certainly an option

[red flower]

pseudorandom_element(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Tarot, "seed")

[sonic cedar]

as for if it is the correct one, no

[midnight coyote]

thanks you fuckin rock

[modern kindle]

N is so beautiful

[normal crest]

that was for Bepis, for them to move the settings.json to the top folder

[manic rune]

yeah i think that worked(?)

clueless

[sonic cedar]

ohhhh
do you know where that part of the settings is in the gui version or no

[normal crest]

if you ctrl + click an smods function you should see both lsp_def and normal

[broken rivet]

anyone know why context.end_of_round seems to be triggering like 500 times here

[normal crest]

don't think there's an UI for it

[manic rune]

OH

[manic rune]

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval then

🤔 is that correct

[red flower]

what bepis said, end of round is called with the individual and repetition contexts

[broken rivet]

oh

i had this

[manic rune]

:3

[modern kindle]

I be forgetting main eval and just set a flag lmfao

[manic rune]

chip_mod..........

[manic rune]

have you been able to fix your fridge's context issue yet

[modern kindle]

Nope!

[manic rune]

oof

[modern kindle]

It genuinely makes no sense

[manic rune]

i cant tell why its THAT joker specifically thats completely ignoring the context.retrigger_joker_check and such

since your other jokers work

[broken rivet]

what's wrong with it

[modern kindle]

It prints the retrigger check if anything is out of the fridge

[normal crest]

chip_mod is a relic of the past

[modern kindle]

But not if its within

[normal crest]

ancient even

[manic rune]

chip_mod doesnt auto-create a message

[broken rivet]

oh

[manic rune]

and its just, worse than chips = ...

chips is:
- shorter
- more convenient
- 🐿️

[sonic cedar]

-# also bepis have i been doing your 'nouns right i see various ones get used so ive been using they but i figured i should make suure

[modern kindle]

Im considering sending it to something since he's a seals guy and seeing why the heck it doesn't work

But i feel like he doesn't want a whole file and shit

[manic rune]

:3 im a guy

[normal crest]

what is the issue?

[pastel kernel]

like this? lua loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center) return { vars = { colour = HEX('b00b69') } } end,

[sonic cedar]

to the notes it goes

[harsh bobcat]

It craches says rarity is nil

[manic rune]

basically, one of his jokers' calculate seems to completely ignore optional contexts like context.retrigger_joker_check

[broken rivet]

does this also apply to Xchips

[manic rune]

but it works for other jokers

so its weird

[modern kindle]

Seals dont work from within it nor does red or gold seal trigger on it
Blue and purple do trigger on it however
I have a hook that let's seals go on jokers but they refuse to work on that one and within it

[broken rivet]

since that's added by smods

[manic rune]

yes, xchips = ...

and also

you dont really need to use card_eval_status_text

return{
  message = localize("k_reset")
}

you can do this instead, or if you dont want to return: SMODS.calculate_effect({message = localize("k_reset"}, card)

[lament agate]

@manic rune @normal crest @sonic cedar @red flower

[brittle yacht]

how do i use a custom gradient for text colors?

[modern kindle]

noodles indeed

[sonic cedar]

noodles

[pastel kernel]

Oh

[lament agate]

the background?

[sonic cedar]

ts ts ts

[brittle yacht]

like {C:silly_rainbowgradient}Rainbow Card{}'

[modern kindle]

right frfr? smh my head

[brittle yacht]

this is wrong, but

[manic rune]

i think it should be correct if your SMODS.Gradient key is rainbowgradient, and your mod prefix is silly

-# never used SMODS.Gradient before though so

[brittle yacht]

it is...

[sonic cedar]

is it working

[brittle yacht]

no...

[sonic cedar]

uh oh

[manic rune]

:3

[sonic cedar]

let's blame bepis and run

[manic rune]

i

[modern kindle]

i use gradient but i do colors badly in my mod

[brittle yacht]

what

[manic rune]

oh

[sonic cedar]

oh my goodness gracious

[red flower]

crashlog jumpscare

[manic rune]

show me your SMODS.Gradient code

[brittle yacht]

i cant put it in a message.txt for sm reason 😭

[sonic cedar]

only gradients ive used ever are basegame

[manic rune]

same

[sonic cedar]

message is too short

put it in a notepad file

[brittle yacht]

local RainbowG = SMODS.Gradient {
    key = 'rainbowgradient',
    colours = { G.C.RED, G.C.ATTENTION, G.C.GOLD, G.C.GREEN, G.C.BLUE, G.C.SPADES, G.C.PURPLE }
}```

[lament agate]

it's hex

only

[modern kindle]

heres an exmaple of my gradient

G.C.TOXIC_SWIRL = SMODS.Gradient{
    key = "toxic_swirl_gradient",
    colours = {HEX('00FF00'), HEX('FFFF33')},  
    cycle = 5,
    interpolation = 'trig'
}

[brittle yacht]

no its not

[lament agate]

yeah

[red flower]

incorrect

[lament agate]

wdym no? i thought it uses hex

[manic rune]

loud_incorrect_buzzer.mp3

[lament agate]

because i tried one time

it doesn't work

[modern kindle]

mine works with hex

[brittle yacht]

this works: -- -- Mythic Gradient local Mythic = SMODS.Gradient { key = 'unobtainablegradient', colours = { G.C.RED, G.C.PURPLE } }

[red flower]

hex and G.C.whatever are the same

[brittle yacht]

[brittle yacht]

{C:silly_rainbowgradient}Rainbow Card{}

[manic rune]

wtf is pmo piss me off 😭

[brittle yacht]

[sonic cedar]

do you have the color initialized

[ionic cobalt]

blud said pmo twice💔

[brittle yacht]

wtf does that mean 😭

[manic rune]

🤔 isnt it automatically done with SMODS.Gradient

[red flower]

it should be automatic when using a gradient

[sonic cedar]

guys i havent used gradeitnthjr sl hhyr

i saw someone have a similar problem with SMODS.Suit so maybe it broke

[manic rune]

🤔

[brittle yacht]

i havent had to use this for my other gradients though

[modern kindle]

using gradient didnt initially make it real for me so i ended up doing

G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS['toxic_swirl'] = G.C.TOXIC_SWIRL

to also use it but im also doing stupid shit for my gradients to work

[sonic cedar]

i started looking for spelling thunk has ruined me

[brittle yacht]

what

[red flower]

G.C.ATTENTION is not a thing

[modern kindle]

so i had smods.gradient and this

[manic rune]

oh yeah

sob

[sonic cedar]

used too much brain

forgot easy

[brittle yacht]

of couse its called G.C.FILTER

[modern kindle]

try using too much brian instead

[red flower]

i almost thought i was wrong

[sonic cedar]

did you forget our time in the alps

[red flower]

of course its cryptid

There’s three different references to the suit colour iirc

[brittle yacht]

well it isnt crashing anymore

[red flower]

G.C.SUITS.Spades should work

[brittle yacht]

yup

gradient works now

[wintry solar]

Hi bepis bye bepis

who's handing out the holes

i

hm

[modern kindle]

heh

[wintry solar]

Standard cryptid code

[modern kindle]

do you want me to continue that

[red flower]

i dont know if this is new cryptid code because its my work laptop

[sonic cedar]

true!

[pastel kernel]

How tf do I use DrawStep

[wintry solar]

Tell it what to draw and when to draw it

[modern kindle]

i heard toma loves drawstep and will make everyones code for them

[red flower]

whats the code

[sonic cedar]

doctor mario image

[modern kindle]

i should play that game, i have it for the nes iirc

[pastel kernel]

i used the same code from vremade_soul but replaced the key with busterb_dream

[sonic cedar]

ok but take out the one rendering the soul

[red flower]

yeah and that uses G.shared_soul which is the soul sprite

[wintry solar]

You just need soul_pos in your object definition

[pastel kernel]

G.soul_pos? Or do I have to separate the sprites

[wintry solar]

Literally just soul_pos = coordinates like the standard pos

[placid star]

idk that looks kinda sick

[sonic cedar]

it does but it's not the intent

[pastel kernel]

Wait

[sonic cedar]

waiting

[pastel kernel]

What do I do here?

[sonic cedar]

you dont need the shared_soul stuff

[pastel kernel]

It’s automatic?

[sonic cedar]

no you did it earlier with your own sprite
shared_soul is the soul

the big rock

get rid of that stuff and it wont render

[red flower]

does it work without the entire drawstep

[sonic cedar]

also this

[pastel kernel]

Ok but

How do I make the soul_pos twitch

[sonic cedar]

if you want the jiggle it does just add it to your thing

but shared_soul is a whole different render

[red flower]

try this

soul_pos = {
    x = 0,
    y = 1,
    draw = function(card, scale_mod, rotate_mod)
        local scale_mod = 0.05 + 0.05 * math.sin(1.8 * G.TIMERS.REAL) +
            0.07 * math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL)) * math.pi * 14) *
            (1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL))) ^ 3
        local rotate_mod = 0.1 * math.sin(1.219 * G.TIMERS.REAL) +
            0.07 * math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL) * math.pi * 5) * (1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL))) ^ 2
        card.children.floating_sprite.role.draw_major = card
        card.children.floating_sprite:draw_shader('dissolve', 0, nil, nil, card.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod,
            nil,
            0.1 + 0.03 * math.sin(1.8 * G.TIMERS.REAL), nil, 0.6)
        card.children.floating_sprite:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, card.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod)
    end,
}

[pastel kernel]

it's written in the soul_pos??

[red flower]

yes

[sonic cedar]

soul_pos is a table

[pastel kernel]

Right

You can do so much with tables.

Turn into a scaffolding Minecraft style

[sonic cedar]

pretty much yeah

[modern kindle]

i coudl absolutely devour some scaffolding rn

[placid star]

can children be scaled up and down without changing their initial asset?

[red flower]

why would you want to do that to your kids??

[placid star]

is this a unique way of saying youre craving bamboo?

[red flower]

(yes)

[placid star]

theyre getting slow at manual labour

[modern kindle]

yes

[red flower]

i think you need to edit their obj.T values

[subtle merlin]

I did this thing to make a textbox appear next to any jokers that have a specific rarity (ty srockw!), and i was wondering if I could do something similar for blinds. I know blinds don't have rarities but i was wondering if i could still do it... somehow...

[red flower]

blinds dont have info_queue afaik so no

like you probably can but not that way

[sonic cedar]

do you suck the marrow out or just crunch

[sonic cedar]

unfortunately true

but that doesn’t mean you can’t make them in your own localization I think

[modern kindle]

catch me late at night, bamboo in my hands

[red flower]

no, i mean that blinds cant have extra tooltips

normally

[subtle merlin]

idrc in what way it's done as long as it's done

[red flower]

obviously blindexpander and stuff exists

[sonic cedar]

yeah ik thats what I meant like you make your own

[red flower]

idk how sorry

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[subtle merlin]

ah, is alr

[placid star]

so i have my way of drawing soul sprites on certain conditions, but i still need to declare the inital soul_pos = { x = ..., y = ... rn i have it set to 10 so that its just a transparent soul but is there any way to bypass this so i dont have a blank floating sprite?

[sonic cedar]

bypass what

[placid star]

having to declare the inital x and y params in soul_pos

[red flower]

can you use normal draw instead of soul_pos draw?

[sonic cedar]

what if you just

dont?

like?? Just don’t do it and use regular draw instead?

[placid star]

can draw exist outside of a soul_pos = ...?

[red flower]

yes

[sonic cedar]

Yeah

my shock was that draw could exist IN soul_pos lmao

[sonic cedar]

but yeah draw is still a function

[subtle merlin]

i dont want to require any other mods to have this one run but i wouldnt even know where to start with that

[placid star]

okay ty!

im just glad my work with sprite manipulation is almost finished

[brittle yacht]

alr why wont this work, theres no crash report, js wont do the thing it's supposed to do. when booster is skipped, make random joker polychrome, similar to red card (joker) and hex (spectral). got lots of code from hex, but wont work.

    key = 'rainbow',
    loc_txt = {
        name = '{C:silly_rainbowgradient}Rainbow Card{}',
        text = {
            'Applies {C:edition}Polychrome{} to a random Joker when any',
            '{C:attention}Booster Pack{} is skipped',
        },
    },
    atlas = 'rainbow',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 7,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_polychrome
        return { vars = { G.GAME.ecto_minus or 1 } }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local editionless_jokers = SMODS.Edition:get_edition_cards(G.jokers, true)
        func = function()
            local eligible_card = pseudorandom_element(editionless_jokers, 'hex')
            eligible_card:set_edition({ polychrome = true })

            if context.skipping_booster and not context.blueprint then
                if G.jokers.cards ~= eligible_card and (not joker.ability.eternal) then
                    play_sound('timpani')
                    return {
                        message = 'No Eligible Jokers'
                    }
                end
            end
        end

    return next(SMODS.Edition:get_edition_cards(G.jokers, true))
    
    end
}```

[sonic cedar]

Look at how they did it probably

[subtle merlin]

You think i'm smart enough to understand this?

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[red flower]

you have the code inside func which you shouldnt, but it also will never run if you dont call it

also the return there doesn't make sense in calculate

[sonic cedar]

why is it in a func that's not gonna ru- gdi N

[red flower]

you can ask myst

[sonic cedar]

myst the goat

just dont reply ping them ever or youll explode

[brittle yacht]

so where should i run the function?

[sonic cedar]

outside of the func...?

[brittle yacht]

no duh

[red flower]

you shouldnt, you should get rid of the func

[brittle yacht]

oh

[sonic cedar]

[red flower]

put all that code outside

[brittle yacht]

so where should the return go

the return next(SMODS.Edition:get_edition_cards(G.jokers, true))

[red flower]

delete it

[brittle yacht]

mmk

[sonic cedar]

gone

[red flower]

youre trying to put consumable code in a joker

[sonic cedar]

gotta jokerfy it bud

[hybrid shadow]

would it crash if i set code to check for a flag that technically hasnt been set yet in the load order

for context i have a bunch of G.GAME.pool_flags that i want rarity code to check for before one of the rarities attempts to spawn

[sonic cedar]

iiiii dont think? idk i could be wrong but it might just skip over

or it could crash actually depending on how youre doing it

[red flower]

it will just be nil so it depends on what you do with the flag

[sonic cedar]

ok cool im not crazy

[brittle yacht]

so how do i jokerify it? i js tested it, and when i opened the booster, it started applying polychrome to everything and when everything had it and it tried again, the game crashed.

[brittle yacht]

i didnt even skip it

[red flower]

you need to apply it inside the context

in fact, unless you know what you're doing all the code in calculate should be inside a context check

[normal crest]

what N is saying is that you don't know what you're doing

[hybrid shadow]

the flags are in the joker code so i have a bunch of cards like gros michel/cavendish where a second version of the card shows up after the flag is set to true by the previous version's death code

[red flower]

exactly!

[brittle yacht]

agreed

[normal crest]

hi N

how's your day

[red flower]

hi

[modern kindle]

i dont know what im doing either its okay

[red flower]

im at work so my day hasnt started

[normal crest]

D:

get out of there

escape

[sonic cedar]

ok well in that case only one way to find out

[modern kindle]

if you tell work you dont feel like it they legally cannot keep you

[red flower]

they can also legally fire me

[brittle yacht]

good point

[modern kindle]

not if you dont consent

[brittle yacht]

also a good point

[red flower]

never thought of it that way

[brittle yacht]

less of a good point but still works kinda

[modern kindle]

im changing the game

[sonic cedar]

signed that away in the application

[modern kindle]

not me i didnt

[hybrid shadow]

yeah ig so

[sonic cedar]

did you read it

[placid star]

not sure how visible it is in the screen shot but why doesnt my floating sprite get rotated when i move my mouse around the card(if that makes sense) and angle itself when moved to edge of the screen

[modern kindle]

i cant read

[brittle yacht]

mmm thats good

im prob still not doing this right

lol

[red flower]

G.jokers.cards is an array of cards, not a card

[brittle yacht]

so... G.joker?

or G.jokers.card

or am i dumb

[sonic cedar]

eligible...card...

[red flower]

no, i dont know what youre trying to check there

[sonic cedar]

also this

[brittle yacht]

lord

[red flower]

there should be a check to see if eligible_card is not nil also

hex doesnt need it because of can_use

[red flower]

oh i get it, hex checks if the other cards are eternal to destroy them
you dont need that

[sonic cedar]

it's your card

[hybrid shadow]

can i put in self and move on to the other variables then

[brittle yacht]

    key = 'rainbow',
    loc_txt = {
        name = '{C:silly_rainbowgradient}Rainbow Card{}',
        text = {
            'Applies {C:edition}Polychrome{} to a random Joker when any',
            '{C:attention}Booster Pack{} is skipped',
        },
    },
    atlas = 'rainbow',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 7,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_polychrome
        return { vars = { G.GAME.ecto_minus or 1 } }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.skipping_booster and not context.blueprint then
            local editionless_jokers = SMODS.Edition:get_edition_cards(G.jokers, true)
            local eligible_card = pseudorandom_element(editionless_jokers, 'hex')
            eligible_card:set_edition({ polychrome = true })
            for _, joker in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                if joker ~= eligible_card then
                    play_sound('timpani')
                    return {
                        message = 'No Eligible Jokers'
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end
}``` im getting somewhere now, skipping a booster turns a random vard polychrome like it's supposed to, but when all are polychrome, if i skip again, it crashes. ALSO, when you polychrome a card, it gives me the return message = 'No Eligible Jokers'

[sonic cedar]

why would you need to do that at all actually

[placid star]

[hybrid shadow]

because im updating my cards to comply with the Probability Update and im reading the update guide but i dont know what it means

[sonic cedar]

shader you have on probably

[sonic cedar]

can i see what you had before? i can help

[placid star]

right now i have dissolve on

[sonic cedar]

is that the only one

[brittle yacht]

do i still need this and how do i use it

[wintry solar]

Leave it as card

Absolutely do not use self

[placid star]

this is the entire code for that sprite (rotate and scale stuff above), bottom 3 lines were added to see if itd make a difference but it appears not

[sonic cedar]

and what did you set your mods to

[sonic cedar]

not eligible_card == nil

[placid star]

stolen from the smods drawstep floating_sprite

[hybrid shadow]

havent even done the main part of it yet, still stuck on loc_vars

[brittle yacht]

bro what where do i put this 😭 🙏

im new to coding alright?

[sonic cedar]

oh my god there's three of you what have i done

[brittle yacht]

lol

[hybrid shadow]

you asked me to send a screenshot

[placid star]

sink hole what is your issue ill try to help

lighten tomas load

[hybrid shadow]

it goes in your if statement

[brittle yacht]

@placid star

[sonic cedar]

ok so first of all
you dont need odds anymore
get rid of it, but keep the number in mind

[hybrid shadow]

so probability variables arent handled through config anymore?

[sonic cedar]

no

[placid star]

okay so i wowuld just do

if editionless_jokers[1] then
  local eligable_card == pseudorandom_elemtent stuff here
  set card to polychrome here
end```
below `editionless_jokers = SMODS.Edition...`

[sonic cedar]

before the locvars' return, have two variables set to the new function
for example,
SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, 4, 'hpfx_7ball_id'
gives this card a 1 in 4 chance, and assigns it an identifier of your choosing

then return those two variables in place of your odds and probabilities.normal

[hybrid shadow]

can i set a more general identifier if i have multiple cards that essentially use the same probabilities for the same purpose

[sonic cedar]

i mean you can, the identifiers are so the probabilities pick specifics

i wouldnt reccommend it personally but that's a me thing cause i like seeing what came from where

[sonic cedar]

take out the draw_major line im pretty sure

[placid star]

that did not work...

[sonic cedar]

odd
what'd you say the issue was again?
(also add the draw_major line back in)

[placid star]

so yk how when you move your mouse around a card it kinda rotates?

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[placid star]

well that isnt whats happening with my floating_sprites

[sonic cedar]

why are you dividing the T.# by 2 btw

[placid star]

to make it smaller

its not working

also after a while my performance tanks, check my child table there isnt mutliple of the same so im stumped on that aswell

[sonic cedar]

cant you just

[near heart]

trying to destroy jokers inside of a for loop, but its throwing this error\

[jolly shadow]

card upd

[sonic cedar]

youre setting your variable to a number value

[placid star]

@sonic cedar do you have any of these issues with your draw funcs?

[sonic cedar]

i do not
granted i believe mine is different from yours

[sonic cedar]

now show #🎨・fan-art the art

[jolly shadow]

why would I do that

[placid star]

i did not set my sprite stuff in a set_sprites, that may fix my performance issue

[sonic cedar]

why wouldnt you

[jolly shadow]

it's not fanart it's mod development

[sonic cedar]

you can... post your mod's art in fan-art

that's allowed

[jolly shadow]

yea but i already posted it once I'm not attention hungry

[sonic cedar]

modding dev is typically the code end

[sonic cedar]

well i didnt know that 😭

ive been juggling in here

[jolly shadow]

I meant I posted it here. Kinda dumb to post the same image in two channels

🥗

[sonic cedar]

yeah but

it was supposed to go in the other one

so youre fine

[jolly shadow]

naw it fits more in mod development
stop fighting me

[placid star]

holy fucking shit i love you toma, the set_sprites fixed my issues

[sonic cedar]

yeah you kinda need to actually create a sprite for it to draw lmao

[placid star]

well i did just inside my draw function 👉 👈

[sonic cedar]

yeah that was the issue but youre fine now right

[placid star]

yahh!

now i just need to wait on my artist making the art

[sonic cedar]

but yeah notice the difference
in set_sprites youre telling the joker what your floating sprite is

in draw youre telling it what to do with that information

= vs :

[placid star]

i see

sometimes i feel like i need a sharingan to properly understand code

[sonic cedar]

was gonna tell you to ignore the toggle stuff but you figured that already so

you got enough knowledge already dw youre just learning

[placid star]

yeah im just trying to push myself as of late to become a better dev

[modern kindle]

just do what i do and tell toma to do it

[placid star]

so the challenges are welcome

[sonic cedar]

dilly you are in my credits

what are you talking about

[modern kindle]

lmfao

what did i do

[sonic cedar]

cheeseburger

[modern kindle]

ceehbs tube

[sonic cedar]

i need to add the ui help credit though

[modern kindle]

personally if i cant figure something out i beg and plead and offer to pay someone

[sonic cedar]

uh oh

time to split the credits into separate messages then

[rotund sable]

Better dev as in spaghetti code works or code works and looks nice

[placid star]

so i dont have to rely on others as much and i can adapt and understand new techniques and languages

basically i want to be the mahoraga of coding

[red flower]

i want to become worse at coding

[subtle merlin]

I didnt, ive only made that mistake once
Also she said that i should use blindexpander as reference, but i still understand absolutely NOTHING

[red flower]

what i do is copy the entire code and then start modifying stuff until i notice what it does

[near heart]

now its only destroying 1 joker (even at guarunteed chance) when it should be destroying all that arent itself and eternals

[sonic cedar]

need the destruction itself to be in an iteration

[modern kindle]

my style is 'if it works it works'

[sonic cedar]

dilly i reformatted them to multiple messages so you can have a second credit line now

[near heart]

is it not in the for loop?

[sonic cedar]

well idk what you have rn

[near heart]

code is in this message

oh the only thing i changed was removing setting the jokertodestroy to 0

[red flower]

i think this is because of how events work

youre replacing the value of jokertodestroy so by the time the event runs its a single different joker

[rotund sable]

Gl maintaining your code

[sleek nova]

how do i use this thing to spawn my things someone sent it when i asked if there was a way to spawn things

[red flower]

press 3 over the thing you want to spawn in the collection

[sonic cedar]

ctrl + 3 on the item

[sonic cedar]

do this if you have the CTRL option off

[rotund sable]

I don't think that's how it is

[red flower]

i have the ctrl option on but its still 3 in the collection for me

[sonic cedar]

really? doesnt do that for me

[sleek nova]

rhanks

[sonic cedar]

no wait im thinking of C

[red flower]

@subtle merlin hi somethingcom

[sonic cedar]

how could you

[subtle merlin]

:3

[pastel kernel]

Is there a context for redeeming vouchers?

[normal crest]

buying_card

[pastel kernel]

I was planning to make a joker that gains quadruple xmult (starts at x1) AND +5 joker slots per redeemed vouchers, 1 in 4 chance to spawn 1 free random voucher in the shop.

[sonic cedar]

good thing they didnt ask about boosters...

[near heart]

so it doesnt work if it sets the joker and removes it in the for loop?
right now its like this:

for joker held:
jokerToDestory = joker

destroy JokerToDestroy
end

but it only runs the destroy lines once at the end?

[sonic cedar]

is that copypasted from your code

[near heart]

no thats just an example

[sonic cedar]

ok phew

was gonna point out the typo

[normal crest]

toma losing faith in humanity

[near heart]

i think theres more than just a typo

[pastel kernel]

I think that’s cardarea == G.jokers, right?

[near heart]

this is the actual code right now

[subtle merlin]

-# I have copied every single fucking thing word for word at this point and all of it is going over my head

[near heart]

this is the first joker im making so i dont know what im doing

[sonic cedar]

im tired boss

[normal crest]

i'm not your boss

[sonic cedar]

im tired subordinate

[normal crest]

:(

[red flower]

events get put in a queue and don't run until your code is done

[sonic cedar]

oh alright fine equals but only cause you wont take boss

[sinful trellis]

Hey chat so I got a custom localization file I did to rename the jokers and I'm just wondering how to package it as a mod?

If you can just direct me to a tutorial that'll work

[modern kindle]

where am i in the hierarchy

[near heart]

so is there no way to destroy multiple jokers at once

[red flower]

Of course there is, your logic for it is wrong

[sonic cedar]

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

[red flower]

i would write the correct one but im on phone

[near heart]

yeah i imagine there is, my next idea wouldve been to create a list of the jokers to destroy and run that through a for loop but i assume that would run into the same issue

[sonic cedar]

grandma-tier

[red flower]

make the list and then use SMODS.destroy_cards(list)

[near heart]

oh sick

[sinful trellis]

Which on the list am I looking for exactly?

[near heart]

thanks will try

[red flower]

you don't need to check for eternal either, that does it for you

[modern kindle]

ill get u some cookies dear

[near heart]

twink_food i swear to god

[red flower]

what are the reactions lol

[normal crest]

Guys, why does calling SMODS.add_card inside a UI not make the joker actually considered as owned, thus allowing you to get at least one duplicate

[near heart]

my friend is doing that

[sonic cedar]

read your question wrong let me give you the right link 😭

[sinful trellis]

Hehe np

[near heart]

anyway thanks

[red flower]

set_ability explicitly checks if a card is created in an overlay

if that's what you mean

[hybrid mural]

@near heart hii

[rugged scaffold]

hiiiii @near heart

Good luck coding

[near heart]

[sinful trellis]

I think I found it @sonic cedar

[normal crest]

I see, it just checks whether an overlay exists

[sinful trellis]

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

[normal crest]

not whether the card was created in said overlay

that is a bit annoying but I guess I can work with it

[sonic cedar]

ohhhhh i thought you meant file structure

not the localization itself

[sinful trellis]

Yeah I'm just trying to figure out how to package it

Never packaged a mod before

Maybe this is wrong too lol

[sonic cedar]

well put your localization file in a file labeled "localization"

[sinful trellis]

You mean inside the mod folder? Like

modname
  mod.json
  localization  
    en-us.lua

?

[sonic cedar]

yeah you got it

[sinful trellis]

Okay let's see if it works thanks :D

Also is this mod.json correcT?

[sonic cedar]

if that's your metadata file

[sinful trellis]

{
    "id": "my_girlfriend_renamed_the_jokers",
    "name": "My Girlfriend Renamed the Jokers",
    "description": "A mod that renames all the jokers to names my girlfriend came up with, with descriptions I tried to come up with to match them",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "language":"en-us"
}

[sonic cedar]

yeah youre good

[sinful trellis]

Woohoo okay

Man 😭

Still didn't work

[red flower]

yeah i had the opposite problem where i was creating cards before creating the overlay so it would count them as owned

[foggy ginkgo]

How does one control the rate of rarities

Cause even when I put it to like 0.002 it always appears

And when you have the jokers in that rarity Jimbo would always appear

[brittle yacht]

yo mb for the late reply but this aint workin for me

[sonic cedar]

what are you trying to do again?

[brittle yacht]

    key = 'rainbow',
    loc_txt = {
        name = '{C:silly_rainbowgradient}Rainbow Card{}',
        text = {
            'Applies {C:edition}Polychrome{} to a random Joker when any',
            '{C:attention}Booster Pack{} is skipped',
        },
    },
    atlas = 'rainbow',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 7,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_polychrome
        return { vars = { G.GAME.ecto_minus or 1 } }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.skipping_booster and not context.blueprint and not eligible_card == nil then
            local editionless_jokers = SMODS.Edition:get_edition_cards(G.jokers, true)
              if editionless_jokers[1] then
                  local eligable_card == pseudorandom_element(editionless_jokers, 'hex')
                  eligible_card:set_edition({ polychrome = true })
            end
        end
    end
}```

[placid star]

whats the error

[brittle yacht]

hold on

[sinful trellis]

Okay I made a mod that just changes all the names and descriptions, and I wanna package it so other people can easily install it instead of just manually replacing their localization files

[sonic cedar]

dude

[sinful trellis]

You know like how other mods are installed

[sonic cedar]

right okay okay

[sinful trellis]

I have an idea I'm gonna try rq

[brittle yacht]

oopsy poopsy

[sinful trellis]

Yeah wait I think I might have been misinformed as to doing the mod.json

[serene granite]

my go fish mod got accepted to the mod manager! i finally finished up

yipeeee

[sonic cedar]

change the json's name to metadata

[normal crest]

name of the json file doesn't matter

[sinful trellis]

metadata.json or just metadata

[sonic cedar]

prevent confusion later
doesnt functionally matter no

[sinful trellis]

No difference :/

[sonic cedar]

.json but if youre fine with how it is dont worry about it

[normal crest]

what's the problem rn?

[sinful trellis]

Trying to package a custom localization

[sonic cedar]

theyre trying to change basegame names

[sinful trellis]

Ye

[normal crest]

does your mod show up ingame

[sinful trellis]

Do I need a lovely.toml?

[normal crest]

assuming you're using smods

[sinful trellis]

Well no that's the main issue

[sonic cedar]

if it's a patch thing but i was checking the file structure first

but your mod isnt even showing up so

[normal crest]

maybe you need to have these required entries for it to load

[sinful trellis]

Oh okay wait, I didn't know about that part. Lemme update it and try again

[red flower]

yeah you need a main file even if it's empty

im pretty sure

[sonic cedar]

other thing i was gonna say

[sinful trellis]

So if my main file is in the localization folder I do "localization/en-us.lua"?

[red flower]

no, make an empty main.lua

[sinful trellis]

Oh I have to make a main file

[sonic cedar]

well no that's your localization

[sinful trellis]

Do I need dependencies?

[red flower]

no

[sinful trellis]

Wait yeah no

That's unrelated

YAY I GOT A CRASH THAT'S A GOOD SIGN

Thanks okay I think I'll be able to figure it out from here I think

[glass scaffold]

No crash, just keeps showing ERROR when it saves the run instead of the message.

Left is the Joker code, right is the Localization file.

[red flower]

the message needs to be in misc = { dictionary= {

[sonic cedar]

misc ={ dic—what n

said

[glass scaffold]

oh shit it didn't save it when I did it last.

[sonic cedar]

how do you do that so much faster on phone than me (tbf i don’t really do it on phone as much as you)

[sinful trellis]

Wait actually what did I do wrong here 😭

[normal crest]

a syntax error on line 512 of your localization file

[sinful trellis]

Where does it say that?

OH

I'm blind

Yeah an extra "

lol

[sonic cedar]

a modder… reading? Could this be the dawn of a new era?

[sinful trellis]

I have a tendency to look right over things especially with a lot of symbols

[sonic cedar]

nvm 😔 maybe the next one 🥀

[normal crest]

this made me happy

[normal crest]

this did not

[red flower]

my internet is also going on and off because im on the train, if it helps

[sinful trellis]

Wait a minute

Is Canio seriously "caino" internally or did I typo that 😭😭😭😭

[normal crest]

it's typoed in the code

[red flower]

yeah
