[brave blade]

I did some looking at code, do I need to write if v:get_id() == 12 then instead?

[daring fern]

Yes.

No.

[sonic cedar]

then....then why did judas give 30....twice...

let me do this fix for ijiraq first though

high card

current patch

[daring fern]

I'm not sure then.

[sonic cedar]

i am plagued forevermore

maybe i can fix iscariot's at least

dumbass 🥀 where tf is your func,,,

[brave blade]

Is there a way to ban blinds for non-challenge decks? (I'm using a regular deck because not having calculate() sucks)

[candid prism]

all i know is its possible bc deckcreator did it

[sonic cedar]

this fixed it thank god

[modern kindle]

I should make a pr to break it

[sonic cedar]

i should kill you

[modern kindle]

Woah there pal

Bit aggressive

[sonic cedar]

,,,ok what if i put the table insert in a func (losing it)

[modern kindle]

Hi winterrrr

[chrome widget]

Oh yeah tomatose im curious, why are your red and blue text colors made more pastel?

[daring fern]

Put it in G.GAME.banned_keys

[brave blade]

Do I put this in the apply function?

table.insert(G.GAME.banned_keys, 'bl_plant')

[daring fern]

No, G.GAME.banned_keys["bl_plant"] = true

And yes, you put it in apply

[sonic cedar]

do i remove this from the for loop?

[brave blade]

Ok, sorry I was just going off of prior lua experience

[daring fern]

No, because then it wont do anything.

[sonic cedar]

what if i modify it to be the one you had me add?

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[sonic cedar]

what if i change the if joker in here to the if jokers you had me add outside

[daring fern]

No.

[sonic cedar]

[sonic cedar]

maybe scaling causes it to go through the for loop twice? so the calculate_joker is being called twice?

or it's getting called once for both joker and trig?

[daring fern]

No, the problem is it's calling calculate_joker twice but it's only returning one.

[sonic cedar]

oh so it's the inverse
OH HEY

maybe i reverse them?

no youre right that doesnt make sense

[sonic cedar]

what if we call calculate_joker before the for loop?

will that work?

[daring fern]

No.

[sonic cedar]

....ok what if i take out the if jokers block altogether

[daring fern]

Then it would insert nil if it doesn't exist.

[sonic cedar]

ughhhhhhhhhhhhh

[sonic cedar]

maybe a counter conditional for how many are in the jokers_table?

like a #jokers_table

[daring fern]

Where?

[sonic cedar]

after the G.GAME series

[daring fern]

No.

[sonic cedar]

did you ask where because it could work if i put it somewhere else maybe?

[daring fern]

No.

[sonic cedar]

ok so calculate_joker is being called twice right

and extra_jokers_list is being set to copy_table(G.GAME.raqeffects)

so MAYBE the way things are being added to raqeffects is the issue?

or even the way it's being called in the calculate_joker override?

[daring fern]

No, because then it would trigger all jokers twice.

[sonic cedar]

right...

wait right?

raqeffects is only for Ijiraq's, well, effects

and all that goes in it are the transforming jokers' keys

why would all the fake jokers trigger twice if this was the issue?

what do you mean you dont know
that's what you said bro 😭

????

are we dementia today

[jolly shadow]

somethingcom is always delusion

[frigid cargo]

EDWARD ROBINSON??? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE???

[sonic cedar]

somecom what exactly are you lost in

cause if it's reached the point where youre confused at a picture of your own message we are borderlining "cooked"

[jolly shadow]

modding balatro clearly

[daring fern]

Because the list of jokers would have the jokers twice so they would trigger twice.

[faint urchin]

I have the following code in one of my files:
local video = love.graphics.newVideo(mod.path .. "assets/video/video.ogv")
This successfully loads the video for me but crashes the game for my friend. I am on Mac and he is on Windows so we suspect that may be the issue but does anyone know why it isn't working/how to fix?

[frigid cargo]

Edward Robinson bro…

[sonic cedar]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
maybe it's calling calculate_joker once for joker and once for trig?

[daring fern]

No.

[sonic cedar]

should extra_jokers_list be an ipairs?

[jolly shadow]

somethingcom give suggestions rather than simply denying stuff challenge

[sonic cedar]

he literally made this patch 🥀 neither of us know why it's double scaling

[jolly shadow]

🔥

[frigid cargo]

🔥

[sonic cedar]

i see

hell

lovely

[faint urchin]

does anyone know

[sonic cedar]

probably computer issue

[subtle merlin]

how can i make a joker retrigger other jokers?

[daring fern]

Have you enabled it?

[subtle merlin]

enabled... what, exactly?

[daring fern]

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

[subtle merlin]

alright, set up

now what?

[daring fern]

Then you return repetitions in context.retrigger_joker_check

[vestal magnet]

whats the px py for a tag atlas

[jolly shadow]

34

[timid crater]

Sorry I know I’m not a dev myself but here’s an idea for anyone who sees this. How about you make a joker just like the multiplier multiplier but instead with the same amount of jokers for points so that let’s say every king or queen in hand played gives 2x to points, I get that multiplier is for this purpose but what if bot the points and multi make it into the exponents, this at least seems interesting to me it might not to you but for anyone willing to make it please dm me.

[gray void]

I didnt quite catch it

[gray void]

So... Every king/queen played, gives 2x mult, or 2x chips or something else doubled?

[chrome widget]

Does the game automatically deep copy anything in G.GAME on save?

Okay yeah it does recursive table cull on it. I should be good

[unborn bay]

it only doesn't save tables with a object metatable

thats about it

[chrome widget]

Yep yep

I don't have objects stored here so I don't gotta worry

Hmm..... is there a specific benefit to using G.GAME.modifiers over just G.GAME?

The vanilla game typically uses the former for challenges but I'm not sure if there's any real functional benefit

[vestal magnet]

uhh how do i make the blind debuff multiple ranks

[daring fern]

if context.debuff_card and (context.debuff_card:get_id() == id or context.debuff_card:get_id() == otherid) then return {debuff = true} end

[vestal magnet]

thanks

[faint yacht]

...I am missing something trying to set G.GAME.chips in context.before, huh.

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    trigger = 'ease',
    blocking = false,
    ref_table = G.GAME,
    ref_value = 'chips',
    ease_to = G.GAME.chips + math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips*card.ability.extra.leech),
    delay = 0.5,
    func = (function(t) return math.floor(t) end)
}))
G.FUNCS.chip_UI_set()

[humble pawn]

Is it possible to add an order to SMODS.score_card? so that the card added doesnt score first?

Here ill get a video of it

[humble pawn]

trying to get it so it doesnt score first because its causing issues

[daring fern]

Code?

[faint yacht]

This sounds like an inverse of my Hyperlink Seal.

[humble pawn]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.before then
            SMODS.score_card(card, {cardarea = G.play, full_hand = context.full_hand, scoring_hand = context.scoring_hand, scoring_name = context.scoring_name, poker_hands = context.poker_hands})
        end
    end

[daring fern]

No, remove that and put this somewhere in your file but outside the seal:

local oldsmodsscorecard = SMODS.score_card
function SMODS.score_card(card, context)
    if not G.modprefix_sealkey and card:get_seal() == 'modprefix_sealkey' and context.cardarea == G.hand then
        G.modprefix_sealkey = true
        context.cardarea = G.play
        SMODS.score_card(card, context)
        context.cardarea = G.hand
        G.modprefix_sealkey = nil
    end
    return oldsmodsscorecard(card, context)
end

It'll score at the correct time.

[humble pawn]

Thanks!

[normal crest]

try initial scoring step

[subtle merlin]

i should have asked: where do i put this?

[faint yacht]

Could put this below uses of SMODS.Atlas and such.

[daring fern]

You can put it anywhere.

[faint yacht]

Nope.

[daring fern]

As long as it's not in any joker definitions or anything.

[faint yacht]

If I just do G.GAME.chips = G.GAME.chips + math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips*card.ability.extra.leech), then it's accounted for.

[split panther]

im using this code that i modified from vanilla remade hex to destroy all jokers, how would i make the jokers also give their sell value when destroyed?

[daring fern]

ease_dollars(joker.sell_cost)

[split panther]

thanks

[vestal magnet]

how do i set/change hand amount

[subtle merlin]

as long as it's in the file i have the retriggering joker as i now know

[daring fern]

No, it can be in any file.

[daring fern]

Hand size or hands?

[vestal magnet]

hands

[subtle merlin]

it only worked when i moved the code into the file that the joker was in

[daring fern]

ease_hands_played(number)

[subtle merlin]

would this actually work?

[wintry solar]

That will always be false

37584 isn’t between 1 and 10000

[subtle merlin]

right sorry im tired

but if the right number was between 1 and 10000 would it?

[faint yacht]

If the == does check for a number between 1 and 10000, then yes.

[vestal magnet]

how do i force a game over

[wintry solar]

Yeah that would give it a minute chance of being in the pool

[daring fern]

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

[faint yacht]

As you're here, can I ask about

if context.before then
    return {
        message = localize('toga_leech'),
        func = function()
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'ease',
                blocking = false,
                ref_table = G.GAME,
                ref_value = 'chips',
                ease_to = G.GAME.chips + math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips*card.ability.extra.leech),
                delay = 0.5,
                func = (function(t) return math.floor(t) end)
            }))
        end
    }
end

not actually having the eased chips stay put, instead being overwritten at the end? Or would I need to "ease" it first, then actually set to the desired value? 🤔

[vestal magnet]

nothing happens

[daring fern]

Are you in a blind?

[vestal magnet]

yes

its a boss blind function

[wintry solar]

Use context.initial_scoring_step

context.before is before the initial values are set so any changes you make will get removed

[faint yacht]

Changing to context.initial_scoring_step still did not help.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1307810407389593630/1396413386568368128/man.mp4?ex=687dfecf&is=687cad4f&hm=247520eb9944dd7e768e51089c22c24a0ede689bf3800ae05222048d82314c7b& This occurs whether context.before or context.initial_scoring_step is used.

[wintry solar]

Oh

Those chips

I didn’t read fully

I’d need to check the code properly to see where it resets

[vestal magnet]

might be something with the if statement

[faint yacht]

This, per chance?

function ease_chips(mod)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'immediate',
        func = function()
            local chip_UI = G.HUD:get_UIE_by_ID('chip_UI_count')

            mod = mod or 0

            --Ease from current chips to the new number of chips
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'ease',
                blockable = false,
                ref_table = G.GAME,
                ref_value = 'chips',
                ease_to = mod,
                delay =  0.3,
                func = (function(t) return math.floor(t) end)
            }))
            --Popup text next to the chips in UI showing number of chips gained/lost
                chip_UI:juice_up()
            --Play a chip sound
            play_sound('chips2')
            return true
        end
      }))
end

[narrow pendant]

Any thoughts as to why this is making the money popup message say ERROR?

[faint yacht]

Why not use ease_dollars(card.ability.extra.money)?

[narrow pendant]

because i forgot that existed

im an artsit not a coder :P

[daring fern]

Because a_money doesn't exist.

[narrow pendant]

oh whats the money one?

[daring fern]

No, just do dollars = card.ability.extra.money

In the return.

[narrow pendant]

okay, thanks :)

love ur work

[vestal magnet]

upd: problem fixed i dont need help with this

[faint yacht]

Do ping me whenever. ✌️

[pearl jacinth]

how do i localize a key

like inputting j_joker returns "Joker"

[daring fern]

localize({type = 'name_text', set = 'Joker', key = "j_joker"}) I think.

[pearl jacinth]

thanks

is there an ease_discard but for hands instead

i've been searching for it for a while but couldn't find it

[daring fern]

ease_hands_played

[slim ferry]

whats the difference between G.GAME.round_resets.ante and G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante

[formal parrot]

Go figure

[wintry solar]

Try setting the value outside of the event too, I think that’s the reason

[vestal magnet]

how can i make this but it draws the base card sprite

[wintry solar]

Just don’t add that bit

[vestal magnet]

i don't want it to give base card chips

[daring fern]

I think you would either hook Card:get_chip_bonus or Card:should_hide_front

[vestal magnet]

where do i put it

[slim ferry]

what does G.GAME.banned_keys do? and does it actually work

[faint yacht]

It's the event that fails to "set" it. If I set it before the event, the value updates instantly and is accounted for, but the event either doesn't do anything or tries to update to the value + the extra value and I explicitly want the "easing" to work.

[daring fern]

It bans the keys contained in it, and yes.

[slim ferry]

okay good, i thought it might not work properly since its unused in vanilla

[real night]

i think its used in challenge decks

[slim ferry]

oh i forgot that

[red river]

how do i get a random number from 1 to X?

[red flower]

pseudorandom("seed", 1, X)

[red river]

thanks. is "seed" supposed to be replaced with anything?

[red flower]

yes, a unique string for your effect (normally some version of the object's key)

[red river]

i see

[slim ferry]

at moderators

[rotund sable]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[wintry solar]

It’s because your event queues it to add, but then the event at the end of scoring queues it based off the original score too

[faint yacht]

So do you imply this then?

func = function()
    G.GAME.chips = G.GAME.chips + math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips*card.ability.extra.leech)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'ease',
        blocking = false,
        ref_table = G.GAME,
        ref_value = 'chips',
        ease_to = G.GAME.chips + math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips*card.ability.extra.leech),
        delay = 0.5,
        func = (function(t) return math.floor(t) end)
    }))
end

[wintry solar]

So if you do G.GAME.chips = x it updates instantly right?

[faint yacht]

Yeah, that it does.

[red river]

how do i get a numerical index of a card held in hand?

[wintry solar]

Okay this is a bit jank but I think it’ll work, keep that bit you have now, store the initial value within your joker, and set it back to the initial value in context.after

It might need to be set to the value after your first event too

[faint yacht]

Like so?

if context.initial_scoring_step then
    card.ability.extra.preleech = G.GAME.chips + math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips*card.ability.extra.leech)
    return {
        message = localize('toga_leech'),
        func = function()
            G.GAME.chips = G.GAME.chips + math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips*card.ability.extra.leech)
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'ease',
                blocking = false,
                ref_table = G.GAME,
                ref_value = 'chips',
                ease_to = G.GAME.chips + math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips*card.ability.extra.leech),
                delay = 0.5,
                func = (function(t) return math.floor(t) end)
            }))
        end
    }
end
if context.after then
    G.GAME.chips = card.ability.extra.preleech
end

-# Sorry, my brain does NOT want to cooperate due to it being too hot still. x.x

[slim ferry]

how would i get an object's own key with prefixes? just card.ability.key?

[faint yacht]

card.config.center.key

[slim ferry]

will that get the id of the copying joker instead in the case of context.blueprint?

[faint yacht]

context.blueprint_card.config.center.key

[wintry solar]

Yeah I think so, give it a whirl

[wintry solar]

Delete this line

[wintry solar]

Hmmm

[faint yacht]

...deducing from the screenshot, maybe we can postpone brainstorming of this until you can get on a PC?

[wintry solar]

Yeah good idea

[tepid crow]

Eremel do you need me to find someone to review the wiki pr?

[wintry solar]

@faint yacht like this?

[wintry solar]

uhhh which one?

there are some that you said are fine to merge that I need to get round to

[faint yacht]

Sort of, yeah. Assuming safety with retriggers and copies...

[wintry solar]

if context.before then
            card.ability.extra.chips = G.GAME.chips
             G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'ease',
                blockable = false,
                ref_table = G.GAME,
                ref_value = 'chips',
                ease_to = G.GAME.chips + 3000,
                delay =  0.8,
                func = (function(t) return math.floor(t) end)
            }))
            G.GAME.chips = G.GAME.chips + 3000
        end
        if context.after then
            G.GAME.chips = card.ability.extra.chips
        end

[faint yacht]

Does work without wanting to time it with the message and juice up of the Joker...

[wintry solar]

you should be able to use SMODS.calculate_effect alongside it

just set blockable to be true

looks a bit jank with more than one of the effects though

[faint yacht]

-# Jank go brr.

...I've not used that for messages yet, is it SMODS.calculate_effect({message = localize('toga_leech')}, card = context.blueprint_card or card)?

[wintry solar]

no need for card =, just context.blueprint_card or card

[faint yacht]

Bringing Blueprint in and there's the jank-

[hidden notch]

I want a Joker (or Voucher) to set the Text for the Consumable slots, I figured patching the "cardarea.lua" might be the approach to do that... The below Code works just fine without the "and G.GAME.SEMBY_Test" - But I wanna activate/deactivate that effect too...
I can't access G.GAME at this position, any other Ideas?

#-- Allow editing the card-count text for the consumeables-area
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "cardarea.lua"
pattern = '''self.children.area_uibox = UIBox{'''
position = "before"
payload = '''
if self == G.consumeables and G.GAME.SEMBY_Test then
  card_count.nodes = {
    {n=G.UIT.B, config={w = 0.1,h=0.1}},
    {n=G.UIT.T, config={ref_table = self.config, ref_value = 'SEMBY_text', scale = 0.3, colour = G.C.WHITE}},
    {n=G.UIT.B, config={w = 0.1,h=0.1}}
  }
end
'''
match_indent = true

Relevant Joker Code:

add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
  G.GAME.SEMBY_Test = true
  G.consumeables.config.SEMBY_text = 'Blocked!'
end

[rotund sable]

would this be how i'm supposed to add arrow key input?

[faint yacht]

Jank, but works in the end.

[hidden notch]

I'd say that's acceptable honestly

[wintry solar]

yeah I don't think you can stop that unless you just tell the display not to update

[obtuse wraith]

Now it needs to have that Windows ding.

[faint yacht]

...there have been many dings - which exact one you speak of?

[faint yacht]

It works in the end and the jank is visual, so that's fine.

[wintry solar]

oh wait I can solve this I think

let me try on my end first

[subtle urchin]

Is there a line for custom sound effects? Like when a joker activates itself

[faint yacht]

sound = 'modprefix_key'

[wintry solar]

@faint yacht

if context.before then
            Ortalab.wide = true
            card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips or G.GAME.chips
            SMODS.calculate_effect({message = 'Chips pls'}, card)
             G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'ease',
                blockable = true,
                ref_table = G.GAME,
                ref_value = 'chips',
                ease_to = G.GAME.chips + 3000,
                delay =  0.8,
                func = (function(t) return math.floor(t) end)
            }))
            G.GAME.chips = G.GAME.chips + 3000
        end
        if context.after and Ortalab.wide then
            G.GAME.chips = card.ability.extra.chips
            card.ability.extra.chips = nil
            Ortalab.wide = nil
        end

this works for multiple copies and blueprint

[pastel remnant]

does anyone know why this would cause a crash?

[wintry solar]

message = localize...

also should be localize('k_upgrade_ex')

[pastel remnant]

I'm fairly sure I'm doing that cause you need to put it in a return but that won't work here

[wintry solar]

you most definitely are not doing that

[pastel kernel]

If I’m trying to make a joker that checks for if a voucher gets redeemed specifically to do an action, what should I write in context?

[wintry solar]

there are 3 problems here, 1- localise isn't a function, it's localize, 2- localize needs a string argument to work properly with this message, 3- you must give calc_effect a table that is key-value

[faint yacht]

So for me it'd be

if context.before then
    togabalatro.loremipsum = true
    card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips or G.GAME.chips
    SMODS.calculate_effect({message = localize('toga_leech')}, context.blueprint_card or card)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'ease',
        blockable = true,

[pastel remnant]

darn Americans messing up my code, so wait how do I fix 2 and 3

I don't quite understand what that wants me to do

[wintry solar]

SMODS.calculate_effect({message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')}, card)

[pastel remnant]

I find it so funny that

one of the bugs is

Didn't use American spelling

thank you tho

actually with this same joker what's the context for a joker destroyed?

[wintry solar]

context.joker_type_destroyed

[pastel remnant]

thank you

can I change joker to consumables (this is for mod compatibility)

[red flower]

eremel did you see my bug report about it

[red flower]

it's the same context

[wintry solar]

I did

I haven't fixed it yet 🙃

you added it as an issue right?

[red flower]

no :3

[wintry solar]

smods discord bug reports?

[red flower]

yes

[pastel remnant]

wait it'll detect both jokers and consumables being destroyed?

[red flower]

yep

[pastel remnant]

great

one less block of code

[modern kindle]

👋

[red flower]

it wasn't really for me, someone else was testing it with hex and it didn't work

[red flower]

hi dilly!!

[modern kindle]

Hi n!

How are you

[red flower]

sleepy

wbu

[formal parrot]

Sleepygg?

[modern kindle]

Me too my eyes have just opened
And im doing that thing where one eye is open but the other is still too heavy to wake up

[red flower]

i am sleepy hi i made handy

anyway im beating pokermon in joker count today

[modern kindle]

Hell yea

[modest dock]

Hi, is there a context for when a card is deselected?

[modern kindle]

Im beating joyous spring in bad content today myself

[red flower]

no, hook Card:highlight

[red flower]

impossible, all your content is good

[modern kindle]

Lmfao

[red flower]

im really excited to finish this update to start working on an overhaul of the mod

sadly that means a lot of UI

[modern kindle]

I wish you great luck

I really need to buckle up soon and do some shit

[wintry solar]

yeah just need to update vanilla destruction effects

[modern kindle]

Oh that reminds me do you guys know a good way to track time in a round
Im using love timer for an ante and it starts when it notices an ante change but im not sure how to count it for time in current round for a blind

[subtle urchin]

“key” would be the name of the sound I guess
Thanks!

Anybody knows if it has to be ogg, wav, mp3 or what???

[red flower]

can't you do the same in Blind:set_blind

[manic rune]

i think its suggested that the file is .ogg

🤔

check SMODS.Sound, its listed somewhere

[red flower]

hi bepis!

[manic rune]

hi N', hi dilly

[modern kindle]

Hmmm maybe yea
That would probably work

[manic rune]

i drew dog today :3

[modern kindle]

Hi bepis

[red flower]

i love dog

[red flower]

i love when u talk to dog

[modern kindle]

I need a friend of mind to hurry up and test if a specific joker works on his pc

Since he runs Linux

[manic rune]

me too

i love talking to dogs although they probably dont understand what im saying

:3

[modern kindle]

You know they say im a dog

[subtle urchin]

Thanks!!!!

[red flower]

dogs understand what i say they just dont like me

[modern kindle]

Dogs love me

[novel yarrow]

joker didn't want to work for the life of me
refactored the code a 1000 times
I just had forgotten to return the values again

[azure valley]

In general, how would one change the text on a button in response to some sort of event in the engine? Specifically, a UIBox_button

[subtle urchin]

didnt work, maybe its cuz i didnt put the ".ogg" in the key? orcuz i placed it in the lua folder?

[subtle urchin]

oh forgot to check this

ima check

[red flower]

hmmm i dont know if there's an easy way for UIBox_button because it's hardcoded to use a text node with static text

i would copy what that function does and use a text node with ref_table and ref_value

[azure valley]

Thanks!

Would it be possible to simply remake the button from scratch and replace it when it changes instead?

[red flower]

probably, I just think that would be harder haha

[novel yarrow]

The program cards from Cyptid mod creates new UI

You could have a look there if you want

[graceful vapor]

I got it working and it took so long, and it's an entirely new consumable so I'm adding much more of them like that

[brittle yacht]

wowzers

[faint yacht]

Safe to assume Card:apply_to_run is only used with vouchers?

[wicked crow]

how can I add the rank of a card as mult?

[faint yacht]

mult = context.other_card.base.id?

[novel yarrow]

That "works" until you have to deal with face cards, which have an id higher thant 10

[red flower]

context.other_card.base.nominal?

[knotty orchid]

If I want a tag only to spawn on small blinds what variable tells which blind is next?

[wicked crow]

ily thanks

[midnight coyote]

@red flower i tried doing the lua workspace settings thing in a .luarc.json fiile in my project root but tis not playing nice

its just outright not processing it

{
  "workspace.library": [
    "/home/juniperg/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2379780/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Balatro/Mods/smods",
    "/home/juniperg/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2379780/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Balatro/Mods/lovely/dump"
  ]
}

so im confused

[red flower]

hmmm maybe you need a relative route? im not sure

i have it as relative in my folder but im also on windows so idk

[midnight coyote]

its a .luarc.json that ive placed in the project root

would it go in .vscode?

[red flower]

no i mean the routes for smods and the lovely dump

[midnight coyote]

hmm

thats gonna be confusing

a relative route would just be ../.local/share/...

because my mod folder is symlinked into the balatro mods folder

so i can get to it easier

i wonder if i could just symlink the lovely dump and smods into my home folder?

[wild berry]

im new to modding, how can i get the player's current amount of $?

[midnight coyote]

i know what happened

my dumbass never had a lua language server installed

😭

[red flower]

G.GAME.dollars

[wild berry]

k thank you

[knotty orchid]

Wait you can actually configure that? I've been programming the whole time with no lsp 😅

[midnight coyote]

are you using vs code?

seach up lua language server

[knotty orchid]

I was using nvim, but I never questioned that I could configure the workspace

done it a second ago

😅

[novel yarrow]

I thank GOD the game isn't coded in C++

[formal parrot]

C++ isn’t even that bad

Lua is worse imo

[modern kindle]

any diskers in chat

[rotund sable]

What about Linux users

[modern kindle]

in progress

not as easy to test linux as im not running it and i cant be bothered to vm it, provided it cant find disks it defaults to 1 disk anyway

so i gotta give it to a buddy of mine

[wild berry]

why doesnt this destroy the card

[red flower]

if context.destroy_card and pseudorandom("seed", 1, 15) == 15 then
  return { message = "...", remove = true }
end

[wild berry]

ah thanks

[modern kindle]

why are you guys sobbing my goat

smh my head

[hidden notch]

Bump but better explained now, sorry for the Bump-Bump 🙇‍♀️

[modern kindle]

if i were wise enough id love to help you, but unfortunately i am not so wise
if N or smt show up they may be able to assist you

im sorry i cannot be of service friend

[red flower]

i would need to read that part of the code

[hidden notch]

It's round about line 270 in the original cardarea.lua file
my patch should be applied after ~290

[red flower]

what do you want to do with the count exactly? delete it?

[hidden notch]

Overwrite it entirely (add a new text) kinda like debuffing the count ig

Removing it when a certain voucher or joker is around would also work

[wild berry]

didnt work

im trying to make the card self destruct

[red flower]

what type of card

[wild berry]

joker

[red flower]

destroy_card is for playing cards

when do you want the joker to be destroyed

[wild berry]

during its trigger

[red flower]

just write SMODS.destroy_cards(card) after it triggers

[wild berry]

gotcha

[red flower]

the problem is that the card count is not remade unless area.children.area_uibox is removed

personally i think the easiest way is to just always replace it with your own count and just recreate the original count when you don't want it replaced

[hidden notch]

Well, if I use "if self == G.consumeables then" and then I just set the Text trough a Joker it Updates the text perfectly fine?

[wild berry]

i tried to put the function after the return and it crashes

i put it before the return and nothing happens

[red flower]

the text is updated because the node has a ref_value, but the UI itself is not remade

[red flower]

can i see

[wild berry]

nvm it worked now

thank you

[modest dock]

hey guys
ive been using this code to help to make a context whenever a card is deselected

-- from [#💻・modding-dev message](/guild/1116389027176787968/channel/1233186615086813277/)
local highlight_ref = Card.highlight
function Card:highlight(is_highlighted)
    if G.deck then
       SMODS.calculate_context{card_selected = true, highlighted = is_highlighted, card = self}
   end
   return highlight_ref(self, is_highlighted)
end

it works perfectly for both selecting and deselecting a card but i dont know how to use it to check only for deselecting a card

trying to make a joker which gives chips but destroys itself if a playing card is deselected

[hidden notch]

Ah now I get what'cha mean...
But isn't my code overwriting the nodes anyways?

[red flower]

if context.card_selected and not context.is_highlighted then would be for deselecting

[red flower]

yes, that's why I say that you remove the G.GAME check and just recreate the number/limit count yourself
you can also try removing the area.children.area_uibox so it rerenders tho

[tepid crow]

That one PR I made

[hidden notch]

Ay, okay I'll def. try it
Thank you and thank you again for the patience and time 🙏

[modest dock]

Sorry dude
Thanks for your help but this still triggers for both selecting and deselecting cards

[red flower]

what about if context.card_selected and context.card.highlighted then

[modest dock]

Ive tried both
That doesnt trigger at all im afraid

[ivory citrus]

Hello, does anyone know if there is a context that is activated each every time a card changes suit?

[red flower]

just to be sure, the code I just sent is not the same from before without the not

its different

[modest dock]

Wait u right my bad
Let me check

[red flower]

no, you need to make it yourself

[ivory citrus]

how i make my context?

Now to wait for the next user in modding-chat to somehow misread parts of it

[brave blade]

Is there a way for me to inject into an SMODS function?

[red flower]

yes, hooking

[brave blade]

I know I can hook/inject into functions, I'm just checking if I can do it for non-vanilla functions

[wintry solar]

you can patch smods files too

[floral narwhal]

it doesnt works

[iron burrow]

When balatro creates consumables for the shop (outside of boosters), does it store them in the shop_jokers object?

This is from update_shop() in game.lua.

if not shop_exists then
    if G.load_shop_jokers then
        nosave_shop = true
        G.shop_jokers:load(G.load_shop_jokers)
        for k, v in ipairs(G.shop_jokers.cards) do
            create_shop_card_ui(v)
            if v.ability.consumeable then v:start_materialize() end
            for _kk, vvv in ipairs(G.GAME.tags) do
                if vvv:apply_to_run({type = 'store_joker_modify', card = v}) then break end
            end
        end
        G.load_shop_jokers = nil
    else
        for i = 1, G.GAME.shop.joker_max - #G.shop_jokers.cards do
            G.shop_jokers:emplace(create_card_for_shop(G.shop_jokers))
        end
    end
    ...

[short girder]

can i use ownership by kind for a consumable type or is it booster exclusive?

[brave blade]

What does the scored_card field do in get_card_areas()? Is that just what gets animated when the context is calculated?

[red flower]

yes G.shop_jokers is a CardArea

[daring fern]

Yes, it's the card that the effects trigger on.

[brave blade]

Wait, is it purely aesthetic or does it actually affect the card? I assumed it's only aesthetic because the "scored_card" field in blind calculation seems to refer to the blind's texture

[iron burrow]

Thank you chief.

[brave blade]

Can you explain what the ❓ react is about?

What should I put as my patch target if I want to inject into SMODS' utils.lua? Is it just utils.lua or does it need some kind of file path?

[daring fern]

=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]

[brave blade]

Wait, like this?

[daring fern]

No, '=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'

[brave blade]

So it needs to be target = '=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[brave blade]

Ok got it, thanks

[short girder]

hey folks. so i was updating my mod after having published the repo for it, and the mod just. isn't in the list anymore. what could be causing this?

[daring fern]

Is the JSON correct?

[short girder]

yeah!

one of my guesses was the "smods.find_mod", which could be messing with things (since i dont have cryptid when testing the base mod)

[daring fern]

No, because as long is the JSON is loading properly the mod will be in the mod list.

[short girder]

im going to try updating smods (though that wasnt an issue before, it could be now)

im also going to try to turn on cryptid, will return with more results

mod still isn't appearing

let me send the json real quick

json file

if anything else is needed ill gladly send it

because im really confused. the mod is still in the folder, it even appears in Balatro Mod Manager as a local mod

it also appears "enabled", despite not even showing up

[wild berry]

is there a function / variable to check the played hand type

[daring fern]

context.scoring_name

[short girder]

check obelisk in vanilla remade

yeah that

[wild berry]

ty

[short girder]

last test im going to do: gonna try and put the cryptid exclusive consumables as comments to see if the mod appears

[brave blade]

Can anyone help me out? I'm trying to add a custom rule that allows for a calculate function in challenge decks, but I'm getting this crash that seems to happen at a short interval after blind is selected (I'll send code in a moment)

Here's my code

[short girder]

nothing has happened

[daring fern]

local oldsmodsgetcardareas = SMODS.get_card_areas
function SMODS.get_card_areas(_type, _context)
    local output = oldsmodsgetcardareas(_type, _context)
    if _type == 'individual' then
        if G.GAME.modifiers['calculate_context'] then
            local fake_deck = setmetatable({}, {
                __index = center,
            })
            function fake_deck:calculate(context)
                return putcalculatefunctionhere
            end
            output[#output+1] = {
                object = fake_deck,
                scored_card = G.deck.cards[1] or G.deck,
            }
        end
    end
    return output
end

[proven adder]

does anyone know how to detect re triggers? I've looked at cryptid's candy cane and the code did not help at all

[daring fern]

You can't store functions in save files.

[daring fern]

Yes.

[brave blade]

Ohh, ok

[proven adder]

how? please

[daring fern]

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = '''=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'''
pattern = '''effect.message = effect.message or (not effect.remove_default_message and localize('k_again_ex'))'''
position = "after"
payload = '''
effect.extra = {func = function() SMODS.calculate_context({modprefix_card_retriggered = true})}
'''
match_indent = true
``` And use `context.modprefix_card_retriggered`

[brave blade]

Is there any way I could make this refer to my challenge deck somehow? (That way, the calculate context rule is configurable)

[brave blade]

Unless I'm misunderstanding, you're defining the function inside of get_card_areas, which means it's hardcoded to that specific function

[daring fern]

What is hard coded?

[brave blade]

Yeah I think I did misunderstand hold on

Can I define the calculate() function within my challenge deck and then have the calculate_context rule return the calculate() function for my current challenge deck?

[daring fern]

No, you just define it literally anywhere else that is not saved on the save file.

[brave blade]

Is the entire contents of the SMODS.Challenge entry stored in the save file?

[daring fern]

No.

The rules are because their stored in G.GAME.modifiers

Which is in G.GAME so it gets saved.

[proven adder]

thanks

[brave blade]

What I want to know is, can I do something like this? (I know current_challenge_deck isn't correct, I'm just using it as a placeholder to describe what I mean)

[ivory citrus]

What

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

Change center to G.P_CENTERS.b_red

[ivory citrus]

--Metamorphosis
SMODS.Atlas{
key = 'trans',
path = 'trans.png',
px = 71,
py = 95

}

SMODS.Joker {

'card that change its {C:attention}suit{}',

}
},

config = { extra = {
mult = 0,
mult_add = 4
}},
loc_vars = function (self,info_queue,center)
return{vars = {center.ability.extra.mult_add, center.ability.extra.mult}}
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
local ref = Card.set_base
function Card:set_base(card, initial)
if self.playing_card and self.base then
local new_rank = card and card.value and SMODS.Ranks[card.value] and SMODS.Ranks[card.value].id
local contexts = {}
local function table_add(t1, t2)
for i,v in pairs(t1) do
t2[i] = v
end
end
local function get_table_length(t)
local i = 0
for , in pairs(t) do
i = i + 1
end
return i
end
end
end
end
}

[daring fern]

You're overriding Card:set_base

Also move it outside of the joker.

Also please wrap your code around:
```
-- Code Here

[brave blade]

What does that do? (Just so I can learn more about how this all works)

[daring fern]

I don't know, I borrowed this code from CardSleeves

?

[ivory citrus]

where?

[brave blade]

How do I get a challenge object from its id?

(Like c_modname_challengename)

[daring fern]

SMODS.Challenges.c_modprefix_key

[rotund sable]

how would i useSMODS.Font in a text node?
because rn im doing:

{n=G.UIT.T, config={text = "➡︎", font="EF_NotoEmoji", scale = 0.8, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, shadow = true}}

and it crashes with:

the font file is being loaded and doing eval on SMODS.Fonts returns:

[maiden phoenix]

try font = SMODS.Fonts.EF_NotoEmoji ?

I have 0 clue never used fonts

[rotund sable]

ty <3

[short girder]

bumping this again because i couldn't find a way to fix it

[rotund sable]

are you sure the json is correct

[short girder]

i sent the json

[short girder]

^

[rotund sable]

didn't notice

[short girder]

if it's wrong then ill fix it but quite literally the only thing between yesterday and today was that i added the code consumables and it broke

[rotund sable]

it's the version

"version": "1.0.0", // ! Must follow a version format of (major).(minor).(patch)(rev). rev starting with ~ indicates a beta/pre-release version.

from the docs

[short girder]

oh,

didnt see that when making it

gotcha, thanks

also

this code is giving an error (apparently take_ownership_by_kind is a nil value)

is there no other way of doing this other than copying and pasting this into EVERY single ticket consumable?

[vague crest]

im using context.post_trigger to scale another joker, how would i make it so it only scales if the leftmost joker triggers?

[short girder]

consider checking brainstorm in vanilla remade, quite sure it has what you're looking for

[vague crest]

i know how to do that bit, just not sure how to like, connect it to the post trigger criteria

[daring fern]

No, you would take ownership of the SMODS.ConsumableType

[short girder]

oh gotcha

thats what i was confused, if it was ConsumableType or consumable

[daring fern]

take_ownership_by_kind is only for boosters.

[short girder]

so you'd do?

[daring fern]

You would create a custom object for the ticket consumables.

Also dollarReturn dollars and cost all don't exist.

[misty radish]

Can someone please give me an entropy save file with the tutorial completed?
He crashes my game and I can't escape him

[short girder]

dollarReturn is part of the code. global variable i defined

returns true when a certain voucher is redeemed

[daring fern]

global.Ticket = SMODS.Consumable:extend {
    set = "Ticket",
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
    end
}

[short girder]

otherwise it's defined asfalse

[vestal magnet]

how do i make it so a specific enhancement isn't given out by spectral packs (when familiar/grim or other cards are used)

[short girder]

gotcha

[daring fern]

And just use global.Ticket instead of SMODS.Consumable

[daring fern]

in_pool = function(self) return false end

[vestal magnet]

thx

[short girder]

how would i fetch the cost of a consumable then?

[proper relic]

This is genuinely making me upset

[glass crown]

whats the best way to detect what deck the player is using?

[daring fern]

card.cost

[daring fern]

G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key

[glass crown]

thank you!

[short girder]

so would i write return {dollars = card.cost / 2}?

[daring fern]

No, because you can't return in a use function.

[short girder]

oh

[daring fern]

You have to do SMODS.calculate_effect({dollars = card.cost / 2}, card)

[flint sparrow]

hey, im currently working on a meme mod for myself and a few of my friends. this is the first time im doing anything like this, i'm not fluent with lua (or any coding language lol). im trying to make a joker that functions identically to space joker, but it only levels up full house when you play it and im not sure how to start with that any help is appreciated :)

[short girder]

this boy is crashing. ticketRate is another globally defined value, so it exists. here's the error code

[daring fern]

No, G.GAME.key_rate is the rate.

[chrome widget]

how do you use variable colors for backgrounds in localization text, if possible?

[daring fern]

You use B instead of V

[chrome widget]

cool

[pure salmon]

do playing cards have some sort of unique index or identifier?

[lost current]

Try this:
calculate = function(self, context) if self.debuff then return nil end if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before and next(context.poker_hands["Full House"]) then return { card = self, level_up = true, message = localize('k_level_up_ex') } end end

[daring fern]

Yes.

[pure salmon]

which value is that? just need to use it for a variable for playing multiple of an enhancement

[daring fern]

card.sort_id is different for every card and card.playing_card is the same but only for playing cards.

[glass crown]

is it possible to have a consumable type not show up in the collection?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[glass crown]

how would i go about that?

[daring fern]

no_collection = true

[glass crown]

thank you!

[jolly shadow]

im trying to make a joker that turns unplayed aces in hand into steel cards & this doesnt work what should i change

[flint sparrow]

unfortunately, this did nothing 😔

[vague crest]

is there an easy way to make this show the normal numbers as a fallback? it doesnt show anything unless it's also showing the compatible sign

[vague crest]

youd proabbly wanna replace the joker main part with this

[wintry solar]

context.individual and context.cardarea == 'unscored'

OH UNPLAYED

nvm

[daring fern]

if context.before and context.scoring_name == "Full House" then
    return {
        level_up = true,
        message = localize('k_level_up_ex'),
    }
end

[wintry solar]

good god no

that's better

don't you question mark react me

[flint sparrow]

still nothing

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

It's (self, card, context) not (self, context)

Also remove if self.debuff then return nil end because that does nothing.

[vague crest]

new question since i figured out the last one, when doing repetitions it returns this in the console because i have a joker which copies other jokers in order to find out when they do that kind of trigger, but it doesnt actually copy the joker

is there a way to make those not appear?

[flint sparrow]

thank you, i'll give it a shot

[daring fern]

Yes, Code?

[vague crest]

this is what im working with

[jolly shadow]

it works now but theres no like,visual for it,just turns steel
how would i make it more apparent

[vague crest]

uhhh could juice up the card

[flint sparrow]

unexpected symbol near "}" am i missing something?

[daring fern]

Yes, you're missing an end

[vague crest]

(context.other_card):juice_up(0.8, 0.8)

something like that i think?

[daring fern]

You're not returning ret

[vague crest]

i mean if i return ret itll copy that joker right?

[brave blade]

Can someone remind me where I set challenge rule descriptions? I can't find it on the wiki

[flint sparrow]

thank you it works great

[vague crest]

i dont want it to, im just having it check when a joker triggers in order to gain mult

[daring fern]

No, use context.post_trigger

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

[vague crest]

wouldnt post trigger also trigger for when a joker scales? thats what i was using before but i ran into that issue

like every time you played a 2 wee joker would trigger it

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[slim ferry]

you can check for the source trigger of whatever context.post_trigger triggered from

iirc

[vague crest]

this is what im going with

[daring fern]

Why would messages not count as triggers?

[short girder]

hey folk! so it's crashing with this error and when removing the global part, it does absolute nothing. any ideas?

[slim ferry]

no real way to detect whats actually happening in a trigger unless you do some real crazy hooks stuff probably

[daring fern]

No, it's in context.other_ret

[vague crest]

i guess im more looking for when a joker returns something then

[daring fern]

Yes, global is supposed to be your mod global.

[vague crest]

my definition of a trigger for the purpose of the joker was just anything that blueprint would copy

[short girder]

oh

[vague crest]

because that lets me add a compatible incompatible thing too which is nice

[daring fern]

Messages are returns.

[short girder]

so it has to be my mod prefix thing? like i have to put NotVanilla.Tickets?

[vague crest]

ok i guess thats not what im looking for then

[daring fern]

No, it would be your mod global.

[slim ferry]

that does have SOMETHING but thats still pretty basic for detecting what a joker is doing

[ivory citrus]

Sorry @proper relic, I went to do other things

[daring fern]

Like this:

[daring fern]

No, that has everything.

[proper relic]

(I was joking it's alright lmao)

[slim ferry]

its just the return table?

which

doesnt say everything most of the time

[daring fern]

It's the entire return from eval_card

[daring fern]

Like what?

[proper relic]

I dunno what's going on in here but I approve of the ❓ spam

[slim ferry]

like anything other than this you cant see from that?

[ivory citrus]

Ok

[short girder]

im going to assume this is wrong

[slim ferry]

because other stuff doesnt go in the return table

[daring fern]

No, that's correct.

[short girder]

oh

okay!

[daring fern]

Like what?

[slim ferry]

its just the return table

literally how would this help telling you what a joker does for the purposes of only triggering on certain joker effects

or this

anything that isnt a pretty basic scoring effect will just return a message

[daring fern]

Yes.

[slim ferry]

and the original point was to not have a context.post_trigger thing trigger on scaling

[short girder]

also, the tier 2 voucher is appearing regardless of me having the tier 1 voucher or not. is this supposed to happen? (the requires might be formatted wrong, idk)

[slim ferry]

and you cant really detect scaling with context.other_ret

[daring fern]

The key needs to be a string.

[vague crest]

i will say the joker works perfectly gameplay wise with how i want to rn ! the only issue is that it puts weird messages in the console with repetitions specifically

uh not necessarily

itd also work with like, hallucination

[daring fern]

Yes, use context.post_trigger

[short girder]

gotcha

[slim ferry]

doesnt sound like it

imo

[daring fern]

That's not possible unless you specify which jokers you don't want.

[slim ferry]

can you actually say things instead of just question mark reacting everything

[vague crest]

well i mean it does work with hallucination rn

[slim ferry]

cool

[slim ferry]

you could blacklist certain contexts or return table values but thats really it

you cant make it not work only on specifically scaling effects

at least not easily

[vague crest]

unfortunate

[ivory citrus]

Someone told me I was overriding Card:set_base, but I don't know how I'm doing it.

[daring fern]

Also is this what dollarReturn was supposed to be for?

[short girder]

yeah! when this voucher is redeemed, it sets dollarReturn to be true

[daring fern]

You should be using G.GAME.used_vouchers

[short girder]

otherwise dollarReturn just sits there at false

[daring fern]

Because that value will reset if you reload.

[short girder]

oh shit didnt know that

[daring fern]

Also if it's the sell value it would be card.sell_cost instead of card.cost

[short girder]

so how would i check if this voucher is in G.GAME.used_vouchers? do i iterate using a for loop and check if the key is equal to the voucher key?

[daring fern]

if G.GAME.used_vouchers["v_modprefix_key"]

[short girder]

oh that's much easier than what i did

[vague crest]

if i do use post trigger, how would i check to make sure it's the leftmost joker?

[daring fern]

if context.other_card == G.jokers.cards[1]

[short girder]

isn't this currently grabbing an element in a number value

like im pretty sure this wouldn't work

[vague crest]

yep i was confused

hm yeah its less buggy than the other implementation but isnt really at allwhat im looking for

ill ponder

[wintry solar]

what're you trying to do?

[wild escarp]

Where is the rarity of a joker stored?

[jolly shadow]

joker.config.center.rarity

[sonic cedar]

can i check for if G.jokers so my joker wont crash trying to render nil localization in the collection?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sonic cedar]

now would it be if G.jokers or do i need the cardarea and cardarea etc

[sonic cedar]

if G.jokers then
--code
end

or

if card.area == G.jokers then
--code
end

[daring fern]

No, it would be if G.jokers

[sonic cedar]

ok i thought so

[misty radish]

How could I delete the "New Run" button when you're in a game and you press Esc? There's a bug where it crashes the game when you click anything in Galdur on that specific menu in my modpack and I'd like to just disable it entirely because I keep forgetting and click it.

[proven adder]

is it possible to have a deck start with an eternal card? I'm using cavendish for the joker, and it summons, but isn't eternal, and literally nothing I try works.

[daring fern]

Yes.

Remove everything except the event and do: ```lua
if not G.jokers then return false end
SMODS.add_card({key = "j_cavendish", stickers = {"eternal"}})

[proven adder]

thanks so much! appreciate the help!

[sonic cedar]

even when i reset the unlock, the card continues to already be unlocked on launch? i even ran an eval, and it returned wheel_fails as 0? so it shouldnt unlock?? and yet every time i open the game after setting the unlock state to false it's unlocked???

"what are you trying to do?" Unlock condition of failing WOF 3 times in a row

had a working version before using ownerships, but that shouldnt be necessary now that there's a probability calculation function expansion

[chrome widget]

What's the unlock behavior look like on the card itself?

[sonic cedar]

?

[chrome widget]

also mind you you're checking if not ret then which means that it'll reset G.GAME.wheel_fails when the wheel of fortune fails instead of succeeds

[sonic cedar]

...i did it backwards?

[sonic cedar]

other than that, what does this mean? like the description?

[chrome widget]

The check_for_unlock function on the center, or the unlock_condition property

[tiny hemlock]

Hi everyone can someone give me an example of smods.Challenges? (Like a template for making the balatro challenges yk)

[slim ferry]

look at vanilla remade

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[sonic cedar]

just the standard unlock check

[chrome widget]

replace that whole block with return args.type == 'hpfx_nope'

[sonic cedar]

really? What’s the dif?

[chrome widget]

you shouldn't use unlock_card(self) in the center function, the SMODS behavior calls it for you based on if the function returns true or false

regardless I think with all these fixes you just need to reset your profile

Since you can't relock already unlocked/discovered cards without doing so (or manually removing them in some other code)

[sonic cedar]

Im just resetting it with the shorty systems thing

[chrome widget]

and the center has both discovered = false and unlocked = false?

[sonic cedar]

well yeah ofc
I’ll try your fix

[sonic cedar]

Is this new btw

cause I haven’t had to do this

or is it “old” but because of how this unlock works

[chrome widget]

It's not that you can't, but it just means it's ignoring the framework given to you

makes the code less readable if it's not following the API standard

[sonic cedar]

I see
should I do this for all of them then?

[chrome widget]

Personally yeah

[sonic cedar]

Alrighty

Fix time then

[chrome widget]

Otherwise if it's giving an unlock pop up every time you reset your profile, it means that the unlock type is being sent more often than you think

if it doesn't and it's already unlocked with no fanfare, then your profile isn't being reset correctly

[pure salmon]

why do ALL played cards with this enhancement get the probability boost when any one of them fails?

[chrome widget]

you're setting self.config (the center's config) instead of self.ability (the instanced copy of the config on the card)

use self.ability in general

[pure salmon]

i remember trying that on some other enhanced card and it was causing issues

[chrome widget]

Could be a different use case or an unrelated bug

[sonic cedar]

ok but wait i might have a special case here (also note that this unlock works)

[chrome widget]

regardless, change all instances of self.config in that screenshot to self.ability and it'll work

[chrome widget]

return (args.type == 'hpfx_7mult' and to_big(args.mult) >= to_big(7))

[pure salmon]

yeah that's what i expected

[sonic cedar]

oh well nevermind then lmao

[chrome widget]

Your loc_vars function is causing a crash, what does it look like?

[pure salmon]

works fine with self.config

all these variables exist, the self.ability table does not

[chrome widget]

oh wait, i'm a moron. you should be using card.ability in all of these cases

[pure salmon]

oh shit yea

[chrome widget]

self is the center, not the instanced card

(sometimes get turned around b/c the vanilla functions inherently use self where it does actually refer to the card, in functions on the Card table)

(in SMODS api functions it generally does not, it calls the functions from the center defintion where self is not an instance, and then passes in the instance as card)

[wild escarp]

Anyone know why this doesn't seem to set card.ability.extra.improved to true? I'd like to have the card behave differently when three or more jokers of this particular rarity are owned. The alternate behaviour does work fine if I set improved to true, but this code can't do that apparently.

if G.Jokers and not context.blueprint then
  local organs = 0
  for i = 1, #G.jokers do
    if G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.rarity.key == "willatro_organ" then
      organs = organs + 1
      if organs >= 3 then
        card.ability.extra.improved = true
      else
        card.ability.extra.improved = false
      end
    end
  end
end

[chrome widget]

for i = 1, #G.jokers do should say for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do

[daring fern]

Also it's G.jokers not G.Jokers

[chrome widget]

alternate more concise code:

if G.jokers and not context.blueprint then 
    local organs = 0    
    for _, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if v.config.center.rarity.key == 'willatro_organ' then organs = organs + 1 end
        card.ability.extra.improved = (organs >= 3)
    end
end```

[sonic cedar]

hey so wheel_fails isnt changing past 0? despite the amount of nopes?
(first call: before 3 nopes)
(second call: after 3 nopes)

[chrome widget]

wheel of fortune key is c_wheel_of_fortune

[thorn furnace]

How do I check a time variable? I want to make a pulsing effect

[sonic cedar]

but prob doesnt use that?

[chrome widget]

oh I see right cause this is from probability vars

(funny because im the one who wrote that code)

[sonic cedar]

winter 😭

yes im hooking into the probability function

[chrome widget]

okay so this is the current defintion for pseudorandom_probability

function SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(trigger_obj, seed, base_numerator, base_denominator, identifier)

are you using the vars for the wrong function?

seed is the second argument, and identifier is the fifth argument that you don't have

[neat leaf]

I'm trying to adapt the Better Tags mod but after a long while of combining cat tags it starts to lag really bad. I'm trying to diagnose that lag, but it doesn't seem to be anything obvious.

[sonic cedar]

so then what the hell is this?

[chrome widget]

where is this?

[sonic cedar]

there's two lsp definitions for the function

[chrome widget]

I only see these two

---@param base_numerator number
---@param base_denominator number
---@param key string|nil optional seed key for associating results in loc_vars with in-game probability rolls
---@param from_roll boolean|nil
---@return number numerator
---@return number denominator
--- Returns a *`numerator` in `denominator`* listed probability opportunely modified by in-game effects
--- starting from a *`base_numerator` in `base_denominator`* probability. 
--- 
--- Can be hooked for more complex probability behaviour. `trigger_obj` is optionally the object that queues the probability.
function SMODS.get_probability_vars(trigger_obj, base_numerator, base_denominator, key, from_roll) end

---@param trigger_obj Card|table
---@param seed string|number
---@param base_numerator number
---@param base_denominator number
---@param key string
---@return boolean
--- Sets the seed to `seed` and runs a *`base_numerator` in `base_denominator`* listed probability check. 
--- Returns `true` if the probability succeeds. You do not need to multiply `base_numerator` by `G.GAME.probabilities.normal`. 
--- 
--- Can be hooked to run code when a listed probability succeeds and/or fails. `trigger_obj` is optionally the object that queues the probability.
function SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(trigger_obj, seed, base_numerator, base_denominator, key) end```

in smods/lsp_def/utils.lua at around line 600

genuinely no idea where you're getting that

[sonic cedar]

now i dont know 😭

[chrome widget]

There is an error that the lsp_def calls it key instead of identifier but it's benign, and they're in the same location

Either way, your function should be this:
function SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(trigger_obj, seed, base_numerator, base_denominator, identifier)

and your check should be
if (identifier or seed) == 'wheel_of_fortune' then

Or whatever you want to name the variables. Doesn't matter

[daring fern]

How does one show extra decks on the Deck View menu?

[sonic cedar]

where the hell am i getting this from

is it
pulling from get_probability_vars??

its whatever i guess
ill just fix it and move on

[thorn furnace]

Actually different question
Where is G.C.DYN_UI.BOSS_DARK stored, I want to do a thing with it

[sonic cedar]

globals.lua

[thorn furnace]

Thanks

Wait
Colours are just float arrays
Nvm

[sonic cedar]

😭

[thorn furnace]

I forgot I can just write a colour lerp function

[sonic cedar]

winterrrrrrrrr....

did you literally mean "(identifier or seed)"

or did i interpret right and i was supposed to choose

[wind steppe]

how do i add icons to a mod

[rapid stag]

assets/<res>/modicon.png

[neat leaf]

Does there need to be a delay between save_run() and G.FUNCS.go_to_menu() to ensure the save file gets written?

[daring fern]

No.

[rotund sable]

You make an atlas with the key being "modicon"

If you mean the icon in the mod menu

[normal crest]

Check the dump to see if wheel of fortune even passes an identifier

I suspect it's just the seed

[sonic cedar]

where would i look

[normal crest]

In card.lua

[ivory citrus]

Helo

[normal crest]

Hola

[ivory citrus]

Hola

Una oregunta

sabes si es obligatoria poner todo en main.lua

[ivory citrus]

o puedo crear más archivos

[normal crest]

Looks like it's the seed

[red flower]

you can do this
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/VanillaRemade.lua

[normal crest]

use SMODS.load_file("path/to/file.lua")()

[sonic cedar]

note that steamodded needs your mod to at least have it to function

[ivory citrus]

Ahhh, thanks

[sonic cedar]

changing the check to seed then

[ivory citrus]

And other cuestion

[sonic cedar]

shoot

[ivory citrus]

what is the name of the balatro programming language, when I tried to read the code I didn't understand anything.

[chrome widget]

Lua

[normal crest]

5.1

[chrome widget]

https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/es/ fortunately 5.1's manual is available in es if you prefer (literally the only version that has it)

[ivory citrus]

Thanks

[novel yarrow]

How can I get the value of the biggest discarded card?

[ivory citrus]

Oh my god, thnks very much its hard read in english

[novel yarrow]

I know about context.other_card.base.nominal but how'd go about iterating the cards, maybe a for loop?

[sonic cedar]

finally

[chrome widget]

[chrome widget]

hell yeah!!!

[sonic cedar]

i have to update the unlock descs now...

since im using return

[red flower]

in context.pre_discard loop through G.hand.highlighted

[chrome widget]

The unlock descs should def be more human readable no?

[sonic cedar]

wrong person to ask im barely human

[red flower]

i think the comment at the bottom is clear

[chrome widget]

okay fair, "human readable" usually just means "something that doesn't look like code"

Yeah the desc should just be Nope! on Wheel of Fortune 3 times in a row

[novel yarrow]

Ooh, I was doing something similar but I was using context.discard

Thank ya!

[sonic cedar]

that takes the fun out of itttt

the whimsy winter dont tell me youve forgotten the whimsy

i didnt have any grip ones

[thorn furnace]

If I wanted to check if a blind was beaten in one hand, would I just do G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 or will it have updated to 1 by the time I make that check

[chrome widget]

I think it'd be 1 by that point

[thorn furnace]

Okii
Thank u

[modern kindle]

i do this for a joker paired with context after and it seems to work
i just check if the chips scored are above the blind req

[thorn furnace]

True

[sonic cedar]

fixed up a little

[short girder]

does SMODS.add_card({ set = 'set', edition = 'edition'}) work?

[sonic cedar]

that's what set_edition is for im pretty sure

[short girder]

thanks srockw

[sonic cedar]

Do dynamic descriptions support randomization? Like if i wanted to do a probability thing each time i hover over the card, and the success will have the line say one thing otherwise it'll default to something else? I know i can do this (image), but that's guaranteed as long as you possess the card

[short girder]

you could do a local variable with pseudorandom

and check if the variable is 1 or 2

[sonic cedar]

true...

[short girder]

local locRandom = pseudorandom('blahblahblah',1,2)

and then in the loc_txt you could check

if locRandom == 1 then
text = ""
else
text = "...?"
end

actually

hear me out

[sonic cedar]

would returning locRandom = 1 and "...?" or "" also work

[short girder]

table

local table

and you randomize the element that it picks from

and declare that

hold on let me write the code

[sonic cedar]

why would i need all that for a choice between two lines bro 😭

[short girder]

because then you only need to write #1#

and the randomization does itself

actually i didnt put it in a string

put both in a string

    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return{vars = {descRandom[pseudorandom('blahblahblah',1,2)]}}
    end,```

if it returns an error please let me know but it's not supposed to

[sonic cedar]

that's how it works with the image i sent already

[short girder]

yeah but now it's random

you wanted it random right

also

[short girder]

oh it's hover over

do we have a context for that

@daring fern do we have a context for that (my apologies for the ping)

didnt find anything in the wiki

[daring fern]

A context for what?

[red flower]

something like this would work yeah

[short girder]

hovering over a card

[short girder]

fuck yeah im learning basic lua

[red flower]

== 1
but yes

[daring fern]

No, but you would either put it in loc_vars or hook Card:hover() I think.

[sonic cedar]

oh loc vars alr covers the hover bit?

[red flower]

yes

[sonic cedar]

ah

[short girder]

yeah!!!

okay so like my code would work

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[short girder]

thanks you 2

[sonic cedar]

i was just saying i dont need all that if it's just a one or the other lmao

[short girder]

i feel ya i feel ya

just thought loc_vars didnt handle what ya wanted

[sonic cedar]

same lmao

thanks you 3

[thorn furnace]

How do I change the colour of dynatext

[manic rune]

colour = {G.C.RED} in config

[thorn furnace]

Not colours?

[sonic cedar]

-# omg bepis hiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[sturdy compass]

boo

[manic rune]

uhh i dont think so 🤔

[thorn furnace]

Okii

[manic rune]

hii

[sonic cedar]

-# and astra too i guess 🙄

[sturdy compass]

-# ugh toma's here...

[sonic cedar]

-# ughhhhhhhhh

[sturdy compass]

this bit already sucks lmfao

[sonic cedar]

horrible lmao

hi astra

[turbid field]

Hey, just wondering if anyone else knows how to achieve this with SMODS code, I asked Victin but he never responded...

Basically I just want to selectively make a scored card skip the "already played/discarded" void and go right back into cards held in hand

[sturdy compass]

helo tomato

[thorn furnace]

Weird
if I do colours then nothing happens
if I do colour then this happens

[chrome widget]

@red flower did you reimplement G.C.DARK_EDITION as an SMODS Gradient for VanillaRemade?

[sturdy compass]

You would almost definitely have to make a patch for this

[thorn furnace]

wait there shouldnt be any brackets nvm

and now nothing happens again

[red flower]

nope

[chrome widget]

aight

[thorn furnace]

wait so it did work it just doesn't do anything

[short girder]

N what's the table for the scoring cards in a hand real quick

[thorn furnace]

context.scoring_hand?

[short girder]

table

[sonic cedar]

context.scoring_hand

[short girder]

so do i just do local cardThing = context.scoring_hand[1]?

[sonic cedar]

thatd be the first card

[short girder]

yeah i want the first scoring card

[sonic cedar]

done

that's it

[short girder]

oh gotcha

also whats the table for all played cards

like cards that were already played

[thorn furnace]

context.full_hand?

oh

Like cumulatively?

[short girder]

yeah like i want all cards that have been played in a round

[thorn furnace]

I think you might need to make that manually

I was gonna say "maybe the discards deck" but that includes discards

[short girder]

actually the discards deck would work

because im fetching the first played scoring card in a hand and logging it

and then trying to find it in the already played cards deck

since it only logs whenever a hand is played i can use that

[thorn furnace]

so you're fine with it also counting cards you've discarded and not just cards you've played?

[short girder]

yeah

[thorn furnace]

in that case it's just G.discard.cards

[short girder]

gotcha

[daring fern]

No, it's G.discard.cards

[thorn furnace]

o i typo'd

thanks

[void quest]

Is there any way to track score

Im asking cuz my friend dosent know and im ass at code 💔

[sonic cedar]

cool

[thorn furnace]

bump

[sonic cedar]

didnt bepis answer that already

[thorn furnace]

it didnt work

[thorn furnace]

_ _

[short girder]

yeah no im not doing this shit

[sonic cedar]

what happened bro 😭

[short girder]

someone much more skilled than me is gonna code this guy's joker

[sonic cedar]

maybe you did it wrong

[short girder]

i cant create infinite local variables and destroy every instance in the deck of the cards listed in those local variables and then create them again

[thorn furnace]

ALLOY.total_health = G.GAME.health + G.GAME.shield
    if ALLOY.total_health < normal_min_health then
        health_text_UI.config.colour = health_negative
    elseif ALLOY.total_health > G.GAME.health_max then
        health_text_UI.config.colour = health_shielded
    else
        health_text_UI.config.colour = health_normal
    end

[sonic cedar]

...the hell is the effect?

[wind steppe]

just use a table

[sonic cedar]

i dont,,,, ui,,,,,,

[thorn furnace]

[short girder]

oh yeah

and then i destroy every card for all indexes in the table

how did i not think of that

[sonic cedar]

[wind steppe]

i can’t tell if this is sarcasm and you forgot about for loops or not

[manic rune]

can u try putting a health_text_UI:recalculate() after changing the color

[thorn furnace]

o true

[manic rune]

-# sorry im in class en

rn*

[thorn furnace]

go focus on class >:(

[manic rune]

true...

[short girder]

i forgot about local tables

[thorn furnace]

this also doesn't seem to do anything tho

[manic rune]

weird

[short girder]

there's probably something more i need to do

[manic rune]

im, half certain changing colour should update the DynaText automatically
