are you doing awesome rn

[clear ocean]

used this joker art as a placeholder

at least it looks cool

[normal crest]

nah

dunno, ask in modding-chat

[clear ocean]

fair enough

[modern kindle]

i will fix you

[normal crest]

its just not clear how many chips it gets, or that it'd reset at some point

At least to me

[modern kindle]

idk scored cards to me implies all of them due to lack of specification

i do think resets on discard would be better for clarification though

[clear ocean]

Looking at the vanilla jokers discard is typically not orange, should i highlight resets and or per hand?

[normal crest]

vanilla is not consistent, just do what you think is best

[clear ocean]

then i think this is best

okay that's enough for today i'm off to bed

[modern kindle]

rest well

[clear ocean]

thanks

I got some more ideas like one idea is a fortune cookie joker which doubles luck and decreases or “cracks” each time a lucky card is triggered

[chrome widget]

sup gang

[clear ocean]

Or wheel of fortune hit too hah

[runic pecan]

Question: if the hand has five Wild cards, would context.poker_hands.Flush contain just one item or up to the amount of suits?
I'm worried whether the highlighted Flush[1] would cause issue or not.

[runic pecan]

Wait, never mind.
I already put the suit-check step in there, so there shouldn't be any issue of that.

[sonic cedar]

how would one have a joker reroll into a specific boss blind for no reason in particular

hi dilly

[foggy ginkgo]

How does one make it so if you play 4 stone cards cards it's considered a four of a kind

[faint yacht]

iirc there's a new context for hand modification, including changing that poker hand it is under conditions.

Because you can return one of 'replace_scoring_name', 'replace_display_name', 'replace_poker_hands' to context.modify_hand...

[foggy ginkgo]

This is all I got lmao

It works

But when trying to detect stone cards it doesn't work

[faint yacht]

You should probably iterate over the hand and check if only Stone cards are present.

[foggy ginkgo]

But when I do this and select 4 cards of any

So I be in a pickle

[faint yacht]

context.other_card is not sent alongside those contexts.

[foggy ginkgo]

Yeah that's the problem

[faint yacht]

Iterate over context.scoring_hand:

local isstone = true
for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
  -- check if only Stone cards are present. If not, use 'break' to end the loop and set isstone to 'true'
end
if isstone then return { ... } end

[foggy ginkgo]

Where would I put this

[faint yacht]

Where you are currently checking for Stone cards, just move the actual enhancement check inside the loop.

[sonic cedar]

what am i doing wrong man

[foggy ginkgo]

Like this?

Or do I change the ...

Sorry I'm a little silly

[sonic cedar]

nvm i just figured it out nvm the nvm I am cooked nvm I forgot to actually call a reroll

[foggy ginkgo]

I can't cook 😔

[modern kindle]

I can smiley face

[wooden swift]

does anyone know how to change a jokers soul_pos when it activates

[vernal path]

What would be the best way to count the number of total chips scored (up to a certain value, then reset. it won't go above 21)? I'm not even sure what context I should put it in, it just earns $ sometimes when you meet that requirement

[sonic cedar]

figured it out

[wooden swift]

nvm figured this out

[chrome widget]

Updated the challenge buttons to automatically use the mod color and the mod icon with a tooltip for the mod name

[foggy ginkgo]

How you do that :O

[chrome widget]

hooking basically

[formal parrot]

How did you do that ?

• Oh just coding

[vernal path]

Okay, I'm trying to make a joker that copies an enhancement to other cards, but it's broken and I'm not sure what's wrong since the exception it throws is a little vague.

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
            if (#context.full_hand == 1 and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 and SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card)) then
                card.ability.extra.enhancement = SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card)
                card.ability.extra.trigger = true
            end
        end
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint and card.ability.extra.trigger and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played ~= 0 then
            card.ability.extra.trigger = false
            return {
context.other_card:set_ability(card.ability.extra.enhancement),
            }
        end```
I know it stores the enhancement, but it's throwing `attempt to index field 'config' (a nil value)`, like it isn't? Am I missing something obvious here, or is there a different path I should be taking on this?

[normal crest]

get_enhancements returns a table, which looks like { m_lucky = true }

[chrome widget]

I mean the better way to describe it is nonsense without just showing code

I hooked the UIBox_Button function and reorganized the returned UI nodes to sort them into columns and add the mod icon SMODS uses for the mod config menu in the first column????

[vernal path]

Oh, that's uhhh, not great. Is there a different function that gets the actual enhancement table, like from G.P_CENTERS.m_lucky?

[chrome widget]

Hmmm what's the best way to get text nodes from the localize function...

[normal crest]

you can get the enhancement key by doing context.other_card.config.center.key, and set_ability accepts a string too

You should also change your way of checking if the card is enhanced, the way it is rn will treat every card as enhanced

[vernal path]

oh, right since it returns a table either way

[normal crest]

context.other_card.ability.set == "Enhanced" is prob enough

[vernal path]

hmmmm... i think the context in which i am applying the enhancements is too late, as it's not counting during scoring of changed cards. Although, I may keep that for balancing reasons.

im almost done with my current last call bbs cards Still need to figure out hooking as that's probably the best way of getting chips scored, since it's supposed to count initial chips from the hand played as well as all the other cards and jokers

that's for another time though, im gonna try and start work on my music ones

[modern kindle]

oh yea....papas cookin..

[flint sparrow]

hey guys, i have a joker that is supposed to decrease the level of full house and flush house hands

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.scoring_name == "Full House" then
            return {
                level_up = -30,
                message = ("I FORBID THIS!")
            }
        end
    end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.scoring_name == "Flush House" then
            return {
                level_up = -50,
                message = ("I FORBID THIS!")
            }
        end
    end,```

although it only decreases the level of flush house, any way i could fix this?

[maiden phoenix]

The Balatro ARG

[maiden phoenix]

You can only have one calculate func per joker

[chrome widget]

Ughhhhh what is the most generic way to get text nodes for the UI? I'm running into a crash where it says a UI node is crashing due to missing a colour property but because it's from a draw function, I can't actually trace it easily

[flint sparrow]

ah. i tried doing this earlier but it bugged out in ways i can't explain

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.scoring_name == "Full House" or "Flush House" then
            return {
                level_up = -30,
                message = ("I FORBID THIS!")
            }
        end
    end,```

[maiden phoenix]

"Full House" or "Flush House" will always be Full House

Because Full House is always true

Check the code for trousers how they do the hand check

[vernal path]

that's not how equivalency statements work. Just make a new if context.before... block with flush house

if context.before and context.scoring_name == "Full House" or "Flush House" then this is basically saying "false or "flush house"

[maiden phoenix]

But otherwise youd do 'context.scoring_name == 1 or context.scoring_name == 2'

[flint sparrow]

like this?

   calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.scoring_name == "Full House" then
            if context.before and context.scoring_name == "Flush house" then
                return{
                    level_up = -50
                    messasge = "I FORBID THIS!"
                }
            return {
                level_up = -30,
                message = ("I FORBID THIS!")
            }
        end
    end,```

[vernal path]

try it and see

[flint sparrow]

unfortunate

[vernal path]

check your syntax

[vernal path]

are you using vscode or anything with syntax highlighting?

[manic rune]

crash when i press the buttons, weird

ah nevermind i see

weird, this shouldve crashed my mod

[flint sparrow]

im using vscode

[manic rune]

did you install lua extension

[flint sparrow]

im new to this lua thing, i should probably do that

[flint sparrow]

i'm not sure how to rewrite this to make it stop yelling at me

[manic rune]

confused

[manic rune]

level_up = -50,

oh but also

you are putting a return after a return there

[vestal magnet]

if i make a custom rarity what do i put in the "rarity =" field in a joker

[vernal path]

yeah, that's probably unreachable code. I'd put the full house check and flush house check in separate blocks like

  do something
end
if y then
  do something else
end```

[manic rune]

modprefix_(rarity key)

[vernal path]

With the latest smods update (and, well, in general) how am i supposed to represent chance numbers? It doesn't like it when i set chance = G.GAME.probabilities.normal in config.extra

[faint yacht]

The SMODS.get_probability_vars for loc_vars and such & SMODS.pseudorandom_probability for actual chance effect rolls.

[vernal path]

config = {
        extra = {
            chance = SMODS.get_probability_vars(),
            odds = 3,
            Tarot = 0
        }
    },``` like this?

[wintry solar]

Chance = 1

Then you use the function in loc vars

[manic rune]

is this how you create a fake card

[wintry solar]

I’m not sure you can emplace it

[foggy ginkgo]

I know Ali was trying to help me earlier but I'm confuzzled on how to do it TvT

[vernal path]

return {vars = {SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, G.GAME.probabilities.normal, card.ability.extra.odds), card.ability.extra.odds}} This seems to work normally, however now oops uhhh quadruples the chance

which is very silly

[distant junco]

yo, im trying to make a joker that checks if the chips are below 30 and if they are then it x15 mult. but it keeps x15ing no matter what

pls help

[placid star]

could a joker stabily store a joker cardarea in it ability.extra. table?

[placid star]

context.chips isnt a thing unless you coded it in to be

iirc its just chips

[distant junco]

oh

is there like some documentation or something

[placid star]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[placid star]

does anyone have an example of a joker storing a card area (not in the main_end using nodes), everything works fine, i can have multiple copies but when i COPY my joker my game crashes, no crash log either

[distant junco]

if i use "chips" the game crashes saying im comparing with nil
Edit: I also tried G.Chips

[maiden phoenix]

You get a stack overflow no? Areas saves jokers and one of them have an area so it repeats

[maiden phoenix]

Its called 'hand_chips' iirc

[placid star]

this is factual information, i think the mult value is just mult

[maiden phoenix]

You're using copy_card correct?

Whats your thing for/do?

[placid star]

i use control c with debug or ankh to test

only ref i have to the card area at current

[maiden phoenix]

What is that area for?

[placid star]

storing jokers, im not scoring them however

[maiden phoenix]

If you have jokers saved do you want the copy to have em too?

[placid star]

that would be preferable

[maiden phoenix]

Yea sorry Im not sure how I can help, I dont mess with areas

[placid star]

they are... tempremental to say the least

[maiden phoenix]

I just know its a recursive issue

Does it hard crash or you got a log

[placid star]

this is my log lmao

no crash info

[wild berry]

is there a way to check if a playing card with a special seal / edition is triggered or not

[placid star]

as in if a playing card w a seal is scored?

[wild berry]

yes

i mean

if their special thing is triggered

like

if steel card

is activated or not

when in hand

or played

[maiden phoenix]

Check how Mime does it I think?

Not sure if SMODS has smt for that

[placid star]

i think mime just adds repetitions if cardarea is G.hand

[placid star]

i think i understand what you mean..? you could check by hard coding each enhancement.. e.g.: if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and context.other_card:has_enhancement('m_glass') then

[wild berry]

alright got it

thank you

now how do i get to triggering the card

[placid star]

as in steel cards give Xmult when played?

[wild berry]

yes

[placid star]

  return {
  Xmult = 1.5
}
end```

[wild berry]

oh

i thought there was a way to like

trigger the card itself so

i dont have to hardcode it all

[placid star]

no matter how i think about it youll have to hardcode it i think

[wild berry]

ok

thanks again

[placid star]

np!!

sadly unless you change how the play evaluation works you need to hard code everything

and even then i dont have the brain power rn to think abt how to do that stably

[wild berry]

something like this?

        local playtriggers = {"m_gold", "m_steel"}
        local handfunction = {}
        local playfunction = {"m_gold" = {dollars = 3}, "m_steel" = {xmult = 1.5}}
        if context.individual then
            local cantrigger = false
            local str = ""
            for _, x in pairs(playtriggers) do
                if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, x) then
                    cantrigger = true
                    str = x
                    break
                end
            end
            if cantrigger then
                return {unpack(playfunction[str])}
            end
        elseif context.final_scoring_step and context.cardarea == G.hand then
            local cantrigger = false
            local str = ""
            for _, x in pairs(handtriggers) do
                if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, x) then
                    cantrigger = true
                    str = x
                    break
                end
            end
            if cantrigger then
                return {unpack(handfunction[str])}
            end
        end```

sorry for the horrible formatting, discord just does that when pasting code

[placid star]

when do you want the values like the xmult to be triggered

[wild berry]

well, since steel triggers when in hand i want it to trigger when played

[placid star]

also gold and steel card have values for held xmult and held dollars so you can account for increased values

in card.ability

[wild berry]

so card.ability.h_x_mult?

and how did you bring up that menu

[placid star]

do you have debug plus installed?

press / then do eval G.hand.cards[index of card, e.g. 5 for 5th card in hand].ability

[wild berry]

i dont

[placid star]

install it

[wild berry]

alright got it

its because i was modding with just lovely and steamodded

no plugins

no nothing

[placid star]

yah it just makes debugging alot easier

[wild berry]

??

how come this crashes the game

i see nothing wrong

is it because im nesting a table inside a table

[wild berry]

nvm i fixed it but

it doesnt seem to work

whats wrong

wait nvm im dumb

but

yeah nothing im just dumb

i looked at the code wrong

[molten relic]

i think i got it

?

what is game_object.lua?

okay i fixed it

but the joker doesnt work

im going to implode

[maiden phoenix]

show code and explain what its supposed to do

[maiden phoenix]

Oh is this it?

[molten relic]

no i changed it

Show the change please

nope

wall of text jumpscare

[maiden phoenix]

the Spades in config.extra should be in quotation marks btw but you don't use it it seems

[molten relic]

i do 😭

if playing_card:is_suit(card.ability.extra.suit) then

it works

because i forgot 2 fucking quotation marks

[maiden phoenix]

Oh thats weird I copy pasted the code to test it myself and it worked fine

[molten relic]

[maiden phoenix]

Oh so that was the issue lol

I did add em after pointing it out

[molten relic]

now i can FINALLY continue coding

joker wont work

[simple helm]

how do i check if you have a joker from an specific pool?

[red flower]

loop through G.jokers.cards and check (joker.config.center.pools or {}).poolname

[simple helm]

how do i do that?

[red flower]

i dont think i could have been more clear without writing out the code for you

[spice wadi]

can you explain "wont work"
like does it crash
does it not get past a certain point
how much debugging have you done by printing variables

[distant junco]

WORKED!!!!!! legend

[limber skiff]

@red flower ive tried using SMODS.load_file but I cant seem to get it to work, is this how you use it or am I doing it wrong, I couldnt find it on the wiki

SMODS.load_file("Jokers/whatsappjokers.lua", "Commence_Trolling")

[red flower]

it's on the wiki on the utility page

also
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/VanillaRemade.lua

[limber skiff]

Got it to work, thank you

[placid star]

[manic rune]

could be that the copied joker attempts to copy the joker again which causes a loop

🤔

just a theory though, whats the code that copies your joker

[placid star]

im just using ctrl+c or ankh (so copy_card) to test it

[red flower]

where are you saving the cardarea

[placid star]

inside ability.extra

[red flower]

that's the problem

dont store objects in the ability table

use G

[placid star]

what do i call the table in that case to account for multiple copies of my joker?

[red flower]

you can give each a unique id in the name

never done something like this so there might be a better solution

there are some mods that do this

[wintry solar]

Is the card area something to appear in the tooltip?

[placid star]

its to store jokers

not calculate them ill find that out later

[placid star]

could i store them all within a sub table? e.g. G.mycardareas[cardarea1] .. G.mycardareas[cardarea2]

[red flower]

i dont think the game will save them properly if you do that

[slim ferry]

youre trying to store cards inside a joker?

[placid star]

mhm

[slim ferry]

cryptid has a joker that does that too, you could try looking at that

[placid star]

do you know where the game saves the contents of G? or does it not store tables because it cant

[red flower]

no it probably can it's just that it's programmed to only store cardareas directly in G

i dont remember where in the code rn

[placid star]

or instead of storing it in G.whatever[] could i do G[prefix_cardarea1]?

[red flower]

yeah

[long sun]

hiya! i'm using an extra in my Joker's pos, but doing so seems to only show that extra, not the base pos.

(pos = { x = 0, y = 0, extra = { x = 9, y = 0 } },)

why is this happening? ^^;

[placid star]

why do you have two pos tables...

[long sun]

for the sakes of animation

i'm able to animate both the base pos and extra pos, which is what i'm doing

oh and nevermind ^^;

i found an issue with my animation code, so uhm

ignore sdjfkngkjdfngdkf

ah ya i see, Aura implemented extras itself

lemme do this my own way then ^^;

[distant junco]

what duh hell it looks fine to me

some help me i might be missing something??

[lament agate]

        if context.joker_main then
            local suits_in_hand = {}
            for _, card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if not card.debuff then
                    suits_in_hand[card:is_suit()] = true
                end
            end
            if suits_in_hand['Spades'] and
                suits_in_hand['Hearts'] and
                suits_in_hand['Clubs'] and
                suits_in_hand['Diamonds'] then
                if card.ability.extra.xmult_gain then
                    card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.xmult_gain
                end
                card:juice_up(card.ability.extra.juice_power, card.ability.extra.juice_power)
                play_sound('chips1', math.random() * 0.1 + 0.8)
                return {
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult,
                    message = localize('k_xmult_x', 'xmult'),
                    colour = G.C.MULT,
                    card = card
                }
            end
        end

does nothing somehow

any ideas?

[long sun]

try return { vars = { ... [your vars] } }

[manic rune]

buddy whats card:is_suit() 😭

[long sun]

is_suit() checks if a card's suit equals the argument specified

[slim ferry]

why do you have a double table for your loc_vars return table

you shouldnt

[long sun]

so is_suit("Hearts") returns true only if the card is Hearts, or Wild or otherwise

[manic rune]

:is_suit() return a bool value when the card has the given suit, if you want to grab the card's suit, you need to check card.base.suit

[lament agate]

oh

oh shit my bad

[distant junco]

oh i think put the brackets in the wrong place by accident whoops

that makes sense

[lament agate]

i need to increment it right

[manic rune]

-# yeah i know, i suggested him to use it earlier

he misunderstood it though sob

[lament agate]

shh

shut up

how's my code looking like:

[formal parrot]

Edwin

[long sun]

where is my ball?

[lament agate]

ghh

[distant junco]

how do you get the code to appear like this

[lament agate]

use ```lua

and close the code again

[long sun]

```lua

your code

```

you can do that with other languages too

like C#, Java, HTML, JS, CSS, Python, ...

[lament agate]

if context.std_haver then
  return {
    hiv = true
  ]
end

                mult = card.ability.extra.flat_mult
            end
        end
    end
}

what have i done wrong now

[slim ferry]

your denominator isnt real

[long sun]

numerator and denominator are locals

they should be in your ability.extra

or you can recalculate them

[slim ferry]

also card.ability.extra.odds doesnt exist

idk what youre doing with that

[placid star]

@red flower so i get this crash on quiting to menu with my card area (stored as G.kenjkau-#SMODS.find_card-)

[distant junco]

ah FUCK i forgot to put that in im not having a good day

[placid star]

for ref that function is the calculate card areas

[distant junco]

SMODS.Joker{
    key = "greg",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Greg",
        text = {
            '{C:red}+2{} Mult',
            '{C:green}#1# in 5{} chance of {X:red,C:white}x2{} Mult',
        }
    },
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 5,
    discovered = true,
    atlas = 'Jammbo',
    pos = { x = 2, y = 0 },

    config = { extra = { flat_mult = 2, odds = 5, xmult_value = 2 } },

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, "greg")
        return { vars = { numerator, denominator, card.ability.extra.xmult_value } }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "greg", 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
                return {
                    mult = card.ability.extra.flat_mult,
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult_value,
                }
            else
                mult = card.ability.extra.flat_mult
            end
        end
    end
}

ok new code but now instead of crashing it just does nothing

[slim ferry]

you didnt return the card.ability.extra.flat_mult

[distant junco]

yeah i did

thanks for your help!

i wish there was better documentation haha but i understand its difficult to put together

[slim ferry]

are you looking at the smods wiki

[distant junco]

yes

[slim ferry]

oh okay

[distant junco]

a lot of it is "to be completed"

[lament agate]

alright now it crashes

whats wrong

[slim ferry]

i have not run into that yet

[long sun]

log?

[lament agate]

hold

[distant junco]

might be thinking of a different one.

as in, i might be

[slim ferry]

if card:is_suit is a bool then why are you making it the key of a table entry

[lament agate]

oh i changed the is suit

to card.base.suit

[faint yacht]

...why are you trying to card.base.suit() as if it is a function?

[lament agate]

fuck

you're right

[red flower]

yeah i dont know what causes this exactly but sometimes smods tries to call a context when a cardarea is being destroyed
what mods do you have

[placid star]

malverk, galdur, smods, lovely, my mod, debug plus, nopeus

[red flower]

its probably none of those

i solved it by hooking smods.calculate_context and preventing it from triggering when the game is ending

but i removed that because it hasn't happened in a while

[lament agate]

how do you change

ranks using dplus again

[formal parrot]

Hold tab

And read

[lament agate]

thanks heaven

[gaunt thistle]

man i've been working through this myself

it's hard but I think we all can do it

[lament agate]

i know you can do it ethan

we've been there before

[gaunt thistle]

i can't get ma pants off

[red flower]

i have never changed clothes

[lament agate]

damn you guys stinks

no wonder this chatroom reeks

[maiden phoenix]

Too busy coding

[gaunt thistle]

imagine smelling so bad you need to shower, ew

considering not smelling basd

[maiden phoenix]

Just hold your sweat in smh

[formal parrot]

This is a very accurate dev chat

[maiden phoenix]

Went ahead and added each effect and minion

Now to code em

[placid star]

i took a look, how could i do that if i have multiple card areas that i dont know the name of? would i slice the start of the name of it to check if its one of my cardareas then return {}?

[red flower]

you can just check G.in_delete_run

[placid star]

i had a look, what do i do with G.in_delete_run?

[red flower]

-- dont trust that this is 100% correct because i didnt check
local calc_context_ref = SMODS.calculate_context
function SMODS.calculate_context(...)
    if G.in_delete_run then return end
    return calc_context_ref(...)
end

[placid star]

big ty that worked ive had this issue for so long

[placid star]

@red flower

use = {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "cr"}, nodes={
      {n=G.UIT.C, config={ref_table = card, align = "cr",padding = 0.1, r=0.08, minw = 1.25, hover = true, shadow = true, colour = G.C.UI.BACKGROUND_INACTIVE, one_press = true, button = 'jjok_kenny_use', func = 'jjok_kenny_can'}, nodes={
        {n=G.UIT.B, config = {w=0.1,h=0.6}},
        {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "tm"}, nodes={
          {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", maxw = 1.25}, nodes={ {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = 'BODY',colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, scale = 0.4, shadow = true}}}},
          {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", maxw = 1.25}, nodes={ {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = 'HOP',colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, scale = 0.4, shadow = true}}}}
          }
        }
      }}
    }}
end```
so this is my code for a joker with a use button, the ref table is `card` yet when i try to access `card.ability` in my functions it crashes, im assuming card here is reffering to the buttons instead but i cant find a solution

[red flower]

the card is arg.config.ref_table

where arg is the argument of the function

[placid star]

so do arg.config.ref_table.ability.extra?

[quick scarab]

Any ways to summon a random consumable with the exception of one type? (ex: Spawn Tarot or Planets ards but will not spawn a Spectral)

[vestal magnet]

nvm it didn't work

[placid star]

SMODS.add_card({set = _type})```

[red flower]

There's set = "Tarot_Planet" iirc

[red flower]

or that

[placid star]

context.consumeable.config.center.key == 'c_mars'

[quick scarab]

thank you

Hello chat

[gaunt thistle]

hi dilly!

[modern kindle]

Hey!
How are you my pal

[novel yarrow]

If I use G.GAME.round_resets.hands in context.end_of_round I'll get the amount of hands at the end of the round, right?

[manic rune]

reminders to never set card limit of cardareas to 1

it fucks up the aligning somehow

-# im lazy to figure out why

[modern kindle]

Ill set it to 0 then

[manic rune]

sob

[limber skiff]

Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, it doesn't want to show the actual mult here
local joker = SMODS.Joker({ name = "Whatsapp Car", key = "whatsapp_car", slug = "whatsapp_car", config = { extra = { baseMultiplier = 1 } }, atlas = "whatsappcar", loc_txt = { name = "Whatsapp Car", text = { "For every {C:green}Whatsapp{} Joker,", "you will gain {X:mult,C:white}X#mult#{} applied to {C:red}ALL{} of them." }, vars = {"mult"} }, rarity = 3, cost = 6, unlocked = true, discovered = true, blueprint_compat = true, eternal_compat = true })

[lucid owl]

this isn't how you make jokers

i ask this just in case, was chatgpt used to create this

[limber skiff]

i used copilot to help with the description because i was constantly not getting it right

[manic rune]

one sec

[novel yarrow]

I hate copilot soooo much

[manic rune]

SMODS.Joker({
    key = "whatsapp_car",
    config = {
        extra = {
            baseMultiplier = 1
        }
    },
    atlas = "whatsappcar",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Whatsapp Car",
        text = {
            "For every {C:green}Whatsapp{} Joker,",
            "you will gain {X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} applied to {C:red}ALL{} of them."
        },
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
      return{vars = {card.ability.extra.baseMultiplier}}
    end,
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 6,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true
})

i hope i didnt forget anything

[limber skiff]

would you mind explaining what was wrong

if possible

[manic rune]

sure, basicallyyy

between ## it has to be a number corresponding to the order of the variable thats gonna be returned in loc_vars

so #1# is pointing to card.ability.extra.baseMultiplier, as you can see in loc_vars

[hidden sable]

oh yeah i got confused on that when i started modding too lol

[manic rune]

-# i hope thats clear??? idk im bad at this 😭

yeah most of us got confused at this when we started me think :3

[hidden sable]

basically it's just in order of whatever you return in loc vars

[modern kindle]

Imagine being bepis and thinking you're bad at anything

[hidden sable]

{ 13, 14, 15 } in loc vars

will make #1# into 13, #2# into 14, and so on

it's all in order

gets really confusing when you have to say #2# in #3# chance

[distant junco]

how do i make a joker destroy itself? i cant find it in the documentation

[hidden sable]

:start_dissolve()

[novel yarrow]

Is there a way to know how many hands were used in a round?

[hidden sable]

docs don't tell you stuff like that

[hidden sable]

there is but idk the variable name i used it before

[distant junco]

what do i put before the colon?

[hidden sable]

check the house

[hidden sable]

reference to the joker card

[distant junco]

is that the key

[novel yarrow]

Yeah I di a hack here, but G.GAME.round_resets.hands doesn't give you the amount of hands you have left on the end of the round

It still gives you the amount you get at blind select

[hidden sable]

can't you just say the players current hands

or at least

save the value

then check it later

[novel yarrow]

I did

It's commented out rn

[hidden sable]

no

like in some functions inside jokers it passes card

that would be the current joker card

i think

[distant junco]

ill try that

[novel yarrow]

Oh wait, there's a way to check it?

[manic rune]

gimme a minute, i think i can figure this out

[hidden sable]

yeah uhh

do i know the variable on the top of my head

hell nah

[novel yarrow]

Oh no worries, found it on the house

Thank ya

[hidden sable]

nice

[novel yarrow]

that makes my life way easier

[manic rune]

G.GAME.round_resets.hands - G.GAME.current_round.hands_left

oh theres hands_played

[novel yarrow]

I was doing exact that but in a more hacky way

I'm making a joker that gives you money if you beat the round using only one hand

[hidden sable]

lmfao

[manic rune]

yeah i forgot that existed somehow

ui brainrot :3

terribly sorry

[hidden sable]

i was saying that earlier chat

😭

[distant junco]

ok this is probably a silly question but how do i do a message like gros michels extinct

i tried this, like in Vanilla Remade and that did not work

[slim ferry]

you have to actually add that message in a localization file

to use localize at least

[distant junco]

ohh

[slim ferry]

you can also just put a raw string

if you dont care to ever translate it

[distant junco]

i may do in the future but i doubt it

[slim ferry]

pretty sure any of those messages go into dictionary in misc in a localization file if i remember correctly

[distant junco]

thank you eris you have been very helpful today haha

it didnt work

[slim ferry]

how does your localization files look?

[distant junco]

i just did the string, for now

[manic rune]

go to your localization, add k_Shrivelled!_ex = "..." in misc -> dictionary

[distant junco]

this is the code. I know its running because the maths is working fine

[slim ferry]

you have to

put the message in a return table

[distant junco]

ah ok

[manic rune]

if you dont want to return, use SMODS.calculate_effect({message = "Rotting!"}, card)

[slim ferry]

also you should look at this if you ever want to do localization files:
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization

[distant junco]

will do

right i shall try again

it worked!!

awesome

[limber skiff]

oh i understand now, thank you so much

[winter flower]

i don't think i'm doing this right
the LOADING flickers from end to splash prep

[faint leaf]

im trying to make a joker that only activates when a few other jokers are alongside it.. how would i go about doing that?

like lets say ive got a custom joker oops12 and i only want it to score if it also has an oops in a joker slot as well?

[placid star]

  if v.config.center.key == jokerkey then
    local found = true
  end
end
if found == true then
  trigger stuff in here
end

[velvet bridge]

Hey folks, brand new to the discord, I'm interested in reading through the codebase. Does anyone have a github link to share or a resources page?

Sweet!

[floral spindle]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult, card.ability.extra.xmultincrease, card.ability.extra.blindsize }}
    end,```

only the first var is read and the other two are read as nil

[placid star]

dont do extra = {xmult = } just do extra = {xmult = 1.5, xmultinc...}

[floral spindle]

how do I get the current amount of chips scored of the current round

[ocean sinew]

that code is wrong

found is defined as a local inside the for loop

[placid star]

well of course it is??? its a placholder

[ocean sinew]

and you're not using break so you just define it over and over again as found

[placid star]

i was too lazy to declare it outside the for loop

[floral spindle]

like here, I want to get the "1,920" of the round score

[placid star]

iirc its G.GAME.chips

[faint leaf]

what am i doing wrong here? the jokers show up in game, but they dont give the crazy mult when theyre all together

[sonic cedar]

if i wanted to call in_pool in a function, would it be calculate_joker or something im not thinking of?

[sonic cedar]

seeing you reminded me you fixed my button

yeah :3

[sonic cedar]

like you know how objects use in_pool
if i wanted to handle a group of jokers instead of having to do each one individually
trying to hook in so i can just go "if joker is in this group, dont put it in the pool"

[manic rune]

have u guys seen the new credit page i made for nxkoo :3

[sonic cedar]

send?

[sonic cedar]

and thanku!!

[manic rune]

i did fix the aligning later btw

turned out cardareas with card limit 1 got some weird alignment like that

[sonic cedar]

that.... that's exactly what i was envisioning for mine.... i didnt think it was possible

how the hell

[primal robin]

A lot of things possible

[manic rune]

true

[primal robin]

Scrollbar in question tho

[manic rune]

TRUE

[sonic cedar]

can you hover over them and it says what they did?

[manic rune]

have u finished it yet btw :3

[manic rune]

its possible yeah

[red flower]

i still dont get it

[primal robin]

Rn i'm more worried about how to deal with 98%

[manic rune]

im gonna work on a really cool ui tomorrow, yall wait :3

[primal robin]

Like, make much simplier config page for dummies

[sonic cedar]

where can i find this legendary figure

[manic rune]

check tangents' code if u want to take inspiration from the credits menu
-# god spare your soul, the file names made me question why i mod

[manic rune]

i thought config pages are easy to understand already.....

[sonic cedar]

ok so let's say in a table of keys i have uhh j_joker

i want to make it so while j_joker is in the table, it can't be in the pool

[manic rune]

if you want them to be even MORE simpler to understand then you could add live demonstration like my mod's introduction page

[primal robin]

If you in 2% then yes

But oh well

[manic rune]

😭

but tbf handy got the biggest config page in the entire modding scene i think

[red flower]

add it to G.GAME.used_jokers

[foggy ginkgo]

Was trying to work with quantum enhancement and this happens

[manic rune]

it actually looks like something you would see out of an AAA game
-# opinion from someone who have NEVER played an AAA game before btw

[sonic cedar]

dont they get removed from there if you dont have the joker?
or no

[primal robin]

So big so I implemented search

[manic rune]

how did you get to this point.

How

QUANTUM ENHANCEMENTS CANT BE THAT HARD 😭

[primal robin]

But maybe because it's in last tab people can't find it

[sonic cedar]

i know about the files dont worry,,,

[foggy ginkgo]

I don't know bruh

[primal robin]

I geniuely no idea

[manic rune]

show me the dang code bruc 🥀

[red flower]

it gets removed only if you get rid of the joker but it doesn't update after that

[manic rune]

you messin with the fabric of the universe there or smt

[foggy ginkgo]

This is literally the code 🥀

[manic rune]

probably, maybe most people r too used with smaller config pages

so when they r flashbanged with text they got confused immediately :3

[sonic cedar]

wait so since the key table gets updated on a joker being removed will it update or no

[primal robin]

That's a problem for me. So I want to implement short version of config which you can toggle

[manic rune]

never used quantum enhancements before but it looks right?

[wintry solar]

Other mods?

[vast bough]

ingore that

[sonic cedar]

bro forgot the context

[manic rune]

gotta take into consideration thats mac os too

weird shi always happens on mac istg

[foggy ginkgo]

Nevermind I figured it out, something in the function code is bugging this shit out

Idk what it is but it's something in there

[manic rune]

do you have any other mods installed

[foggy ginkgo]

I do

[manic rune]

i dont think, its supposed to do anything similar to that

[red flower]

if you add j_oops to the table then it will only get removed if you manage to get oops and sell it or destroy it which is hard if that bans it from being obtained

[foggy ginkgo]

But I recall turning off all my mods so

[manic rune]

weird

is this latest smods

[foggy ginkgo]

Hold up I think I figured it out

[vast bough]

hello, modding dev, why is this spawning the default joker instead of jokers from the desired rarities

 SMODS.add_card({ set = 'Joker', rarity = 'cosmicjo_arcane' })

i have got my rarities defined here and there are jokers with rarities in game that it can pull from

SMODS.Rarity {
    key = "imperial",
    pools = {
        ["Joker"] = true
    },
    default_weight = 0,
    badge_colour = HEX('ff001e'),
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Imperial"
    },
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end,
}

SMODS.Rarity {
    key = "doom",
    pools = {
        ["Joker"] = true
    },
    default_weight = 0,
    badge_colour = HEX('252020'),
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Doom"
    },
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end,
}

SMODS.Rarity {
    key = "arcane",
    pools = {
        ["Joker"] = true
    },
    default_weight = 0,
    badge_colour = HEX('2c90ed'),
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Arcane"
    },
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end,
}

it just spawns jimbo, which i know is the default but like why, my modprefix is correct and everything im going a bit crazy tryna solve this code generation bug (its for jokerforge)

[foggy ginkgo]

Lmao yeah I found it

This is the problem

[sonic cedar]

so this would be fine then
and now the "oops" wont appear

[foggy ginkgo]

This is what I get for stealing code

[manic rune]

do you have any joker with that rarity yet

[vast bough]

yes, multiple

[red flower]

yeah
or you can wait for this :3
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/828

[foggy ginkgo]

When I deleted it, it starts to work and not fly everywhere

[vast bough]

which is strange

[sonic cedar]

how does this keep happening

when's it coming

[manic rune]

is rarity in jokers "cosmicjo_arcane"?

[vast bough]

yes

SMODS.Joker{ --Lady of the Stars
    name = "Lady of the Stars",
    key = "ladyofthestars",

            Planet = 0,
            c_neptune = 0

    },

    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    unlocked = true,

    atlas = 'CustomJokers',

[sonic cedar]

oh wait this is a PR

[manic rune]

N' at this point make your own smods damn.....

[vast bough]

and they show up fine in game and everything

for the life of me i cant figure out why its not working lol

[manic rune]

i wish i could check how SMODS.add_card work but im on bed rn

sob

[modern kindle]

N is so beautiful

[vast bough]

do u have a link to some nice docs for me to look at with it

[manic rune]

i actually planned on, checking its code

[red flower]

what happens if you eval G.P_JOKER_RARITY_POOLS.modprefix_key?

[vast bough]

the annoying thing is, sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes it doesnt

[manic rune]

but i think SMODS.add_card should be documented in the utility functions (or smt) tab of smods documentation

[sonic cedar]

deal

[manic rune]

N' can u pr me a stable release of bsr...

[vast bough]

in debug plus? nil

[red flower]

yes

[faint leaf]

this code ive got doesnt seem to give the xmult when i have all 5 jokers owned... i know its probably a problem with that little middle part but i have no idea how to fix it.. please help!

[red flower]

if it's nil then the rarity hasn't been created properly

[manic rune]

ur checking G.jokers, not G.jokers.cards

[normal crest]

you left some checks that still check whether the object has an in_pool function before calling SMODS.is_in_pool, was that intentional

[vast bough]

yeah but i dont see the issue with my rarity code

unless im being silly

wait lemme test something

[red flower]

yes
maybe i got the logic wrong but i think those are not equivalent to the checks i do in the function

[faint leaf]

once i change that i just get a crash lmao

theres 889

[manic rune]

yeah the key is j.config.center.key

not j.center.key

[red flower]

like i return true if in_pool doesn't exist which for those specific checks it's not correct

(i think)

[faint leaf]

its gonna be so funny if this just works cause i forgot 2 words

[manic rune]

it should

[vast bough]

nope, never mind, i thought it was an issue with how they are being imported in main but thats all fine

[normal crest]

that's true, just makes the code look odd, it tickles my brain

[twilit star]

Balatro

[vast bough]

even simplifying the issue to one rarity still creates jimbos what is this

[manic rune]

but also, i dont think you even need that loop to check for if you have all the five jokers actually

[faint leaf]

unfortunate..yyyyy...... its not applying the xmult.. and im a billion percent sure i have the other jokers in my code correectly...

[manic rune]

just smt like

for _,key in ipairs(required_parts) do
   if not next(SMODS.find_card(key)) then return end
end

should work me think

[red flower]

yeah it also doesn't help that i dont really understand the deck view code lol

[manic rune]

another mistake you made is that all joker keys begin with j_

[faint leaf]

okay so just j_kaliimoddy_exodiahead

[manic rune]

so it should be j_kaliimoddy_exodiahead

yeah

[faint leaf]

awesome it works

thank you !!!

🥳

[red flower]

joyous

[primal robin]

IMPOSSIBLEEEEE...EE..E....>E..E>.

[manic rune]

no useless cards in deck truly

[ocean sinew]

In which line is the balatro hand scoring evaluated?

[red flower]

like the final chips * mult?

[ocean sinew]

yep

and where chips are added to G.GAME.blind.chips

[red flower]

It's in G.FUNCS.evaluate_play after the Joker Debuff Effects comment

[ocean sinew]

thanks

[vast bough]

you are like an encyclopedia how do u remember all this lol

[ocean sinew]

btw do u know in which lua file is G.FUNCS.evaluate_play

[normal crest]

state_events.lua

[ocean sinew]

thanks

[red flower]

read a lot of the code so i know how to search it quick

[modern kindle]

when will you read alot of me

[red flower]

now

[modern kindle]

[vast bough]

bro i am dying what is this tomfoolery

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card({ set = 'Joker', rarity = 'modprefix_testytest_royalty' })

you forgot the prefix

in the joker too

oh wait i misread

[vast bough]

the mod prefix is testytest yeah

[red flower]

hmm im going to test it myself

[vast bough]

yeah this is nutty

[rotund sable]

also while i still remember goodmorning we have to update the version of steamodded in the dependencies to the newest

shit wrong channel

[vast bough]

lmao

[red flower]

oh yeah it just doesnt work

it gets added to the pools properly

[chrome widget]

Someone please..... I need UI help please.......

[vast bough]

thank god im not going insane

is this an smods issue then

[red flower]

oh no i lied

it works

[vast bough]

nooooo

[red flower]

i forgot my create_card shenanigans

[red flower]

whats up

if its the thing in the smods server i didnt understand it :3

[chrome widget]

FUCK

[vast bough]

do i need to use create_card instead then cos id rather use add_card if im being honest

[red flower]

no it works with add_card

[modern kindle]

im sorry winter i dont comprehend ui at all or i would love to help you

[chrome widget]

I just don't know how to normally get localization information outside of select contexts 😭 I don't know what I'm doing differently from instances in generate_ui

[red flower]

what's the problem exactly? can you re-explain it?

[floral spindle]

this crashes with this message

[red flower]

did you restart a run before testing

also whats line 202

[floral spindle]

card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.xmult + card.ability.extra.xmultincrease

[red flower]

you forgot an extra

card.ability.extra.xmult

[floral spindle]

man

[vast bough]

i did a clear wipe of my mods folder to just have smods, lovely, and the mod im testing only to realise i couldnt spawn anything in because i didnt have debug plus lmao

[chrome widget]

So basically, I need to get UI nodes from this localization entry to put them in this new "story" tab I added for challenges. So I have this entry stored under G.localization.Descriptions.Other

Typically, calling the localize function with type = 'descriptions' and set = 'Other' should make the localization function append the nodes to whatever table you pass in, in basically the same way descriptions are assembled for the card hoverboxea

[plucky zenith]

I'm back trying to get this one working again. I switched to context.starting_shop as SDM_0 suggested, but how can I make it handle one pack at a time if more than one pack is generate?

Right now it seems to work with a single pack but if two are generated then the sort of overlap on the screen, cards from multiple packs are shown all at once, and then once you choose a card all the display goes away but it still thinks you need to choose another card for the other pack.

[red flower]

i would honestly suggest just making tags

else you would need to do stuff to detect when the last booster has been closed which will just be you recreating tags lol

[chrome widget]

However, for whatever reason, doing this results in an error. It says some UI node doesn't have a valid colour in its config when it goes to draw, and the stack trace doesn't help because the draw function is called from the update behavior (so it's being created successfully without error, then the update grabs it, tries to draw it, and encounters whatever failed initialization)

localize{type = 'other', key = 'ch_st_'..story_id, nodes = story_text}
local story_node = {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "cm", minw = 3, r = 0.1, colour = G.C.BLUE}, nodes={
    {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", padding = 0.08, minh = 0.6}, nodes={
        {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = localize('k_challenge_story'), scale = 0.4, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, shadow = true}},
    }},
    {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", minh = 4.1, minw = 3, maxw = 3, padding = 0.05, r = 0.1, colour = G.C.WHITE}, nodes = story_text}
}}```

[red flower]

this error?

[chrome widget]

Maybe! But I don't see how what I'm doing is using it any differently than correct examples given?

The returned nodes should be just a list of row UI tables

[winter flower]

i don't know what do i do here

[chrome widget]

Setting the passed in story_text to an empty table results in it working correctly, so the outer nodes aren't the issue

[vast bough]

is that your nuclear reactor

[floral spindle]

what modpack are you playing

[red flower]

what about
local story_text = localize{type = 'other', key = 'ch_st_'..story_id}

[winter flower]

hbm ntm but ignoring that

[vast bough]

modding-dev the second 1 frame of minecraft is shown on screen

[winter flower]

why does the loading screen get stuck on "splash prep" and "end"

[red flower]

youre overwriting the game draw function

[winter flower]

oh

[red flower]

you need to hook into it, probably

[chrome widget]

Afaik only the name types directly return? I can try it but I'm fairly certain it returns nothing for descriptions if you don't pass in nodes for them to modify

[red flower]

i honestly dont remember :3

[chrome widget]

Wegh

[sonic cedar]

how can i make him start doing calc_dollar_bonus? cause while i did this with golden, i cant do that with a dynamic value like satellite or cloud 9

[chrome widget]

Hate, it's so hard to debugggg

[red flower]

why cant you

[sonic cedar]

i mean i can but is there a less tedious way than doing that for each joker that calcs dollar bonus

[red flower]

sounds hard

[sonic cedar]

ill do some tinkering i guess

[dusky geyser]

this joker is supposed to increment for each card destroyed, but instead increments for each destruction event (ie an immolate only gets it 10 chips instead of 50). how can i fix this?

[red flower]

what happens if you do nodes = story_text[1] or nodes = desc_from_rows(story_text)

[chrome widget]

Dunno, will have to try when I get home (at the deli for a yumby sandwidch)

[red flower]

im hungry i could go for a sandwich..

[chrome widget]

Get urself a sandwich

[winter flower]

i'm still so lost on hooks holy

[red flower]

card.ability.extra.chips = (card.ability.extra.chips) + 10 * #context.removed

[dusky geyser]

ah, thank you!

[red flower]

i will try to have a clear explanation on hooks in the vremade wiki soon

[sonic cedar]

ok this isnt so bad actually

[split saddle]

hey guys i'm back yay
finally got a new laptop and as such i'm back with more questions :D

i've seen some people do an "all boss blinds" challenge but they never provide a download link (probably because they made it themselves). so now i'm left wondering on how to do it myself?

as in, how to modify the small and big blind so that they're always boss blinds

[red flower]

eremel is teasing a system in smods to replace blinds soon so i would wait for that
or look into how ortalab does it

[sonic cedar]

@modern kindle crying

[modern kindle]

he better not

[sonic cedar]

im 0 for 3 with these pushes istg

[clear ocean]

rate this joker idea

[sonic cedar]

prob calc, then in_pool, now blind changing

[sonic cedar]

yummy

[clear ocean]

i can look at the code for oops all sixes and lucky cat but not sure how to know if a wheel of fortune is triggered

[red flower]

thats really easy now

[clear ocean]

it's a context for that and if it's something['Wheel of Fortune']?

[red flower]

if context.pseudorandom_result and context.result and context.identifier == "wheel_of_fortune" then

[clear ocean]

thanks

okay this one should be in the bag then

[red flower]

it also works with lucky cards

[sonic cedar]

how the hell am i gonna do this with rocket

[clear ocean]

ah! that's makes it easier thanks i was gonna accidentally program this twice

[sonic cedar]

wait that's right its being tracked

[red flower]

for lucky cards the identifier is either lucky_mult and lucky_money

[clear ocean]

context.identifier == "wheel_of_fortune" or "lucky_mult" or "lucky_money"?

[red flower]

the idea is there but thats not how lua works sadly

context.identifier == "wheel_of_fortune" or context.identifier == "lucky_mult" or context.identifier == "lucky_money"

[split saddle]

I haven't seen the ortalab mod in action, but i found this in the source code. if I understand it correctly then this only applies the effects but doesn't show the boss blind in the blind select screen, or am I missing something?

[clear ocean]

i need to catch up on my lua game then 😤

[red flower]

you should also have it in ()

[clear ocean]

i have the programming in lua volume 4 book

[red flower]

thats for my mod jokerdisplay lmao

[clear ocean]

wait you made that?

it's a good mod

[red flower]

yes

[modern kindle]

okay, i finally have my codebreaker pretty much how i want it

if any code tampering is detected before the boss blind of an ante it forces a blind, if tampering is detected during the boss blind it sets the next boss blinds ante

[split saddle]

??

[modern kindle]

delightful

[red flower]

thank you

[clear ocean]

the video doesn't show it because i'm testing it without any additional mods outside of debugplus

[split saddle]

did they take it from your code or what

[red flower]

that code is for jokerdisplay compatibility

[split saddle]

ok

[modern kindle]

anyway good luck

[austere schooner]

the humble retcon

[split saddle]

But I assume that the important part is the for loop above, no?

[red flower]

that entire screenshot is jokerdisplay code

[modern kindle]

it ignores rerolls

[final jewel]

Guys I don't understant why my code doesn't work. The part where using a consumable change the txt to active work but nothing else work

[split saddle]

then where is the joker's function code?

[clear ocean]

what about chicot and luch

[split saddle]

this is the one that i sent

[red flower]

local variables are not kept between calculate calls

[red flower]

dunno, i didnt make ortalab lol

[modern kindle]

for luchador good luck moving to it to sell it, im not sure about chicot though

[final jewel]

oh

[split saddle]

well, let's wait for eremel's thing then i guess

[clear ocean]

remembered that you make several text boxes

not sure if the currently chips should be in the first or second

what do you think

[sonic cedar]

god i wish somecom was here to help decipher his safe_set_ability code

[modern kindle]

he has been pretty quiet recently unless ive just been missing his active times

is he alright

[placid star]

can create_toggle() nodes have tooltips?

[placid star]

i havent seen him either

[placid star]

how the sigma did you do that

[mental nacelle]

does anyone here know if i can make a set of stakes "parallel" to the main set and have their descriptions show up properly?

[sonic cedar]

he wasnt here yesterday, but seemed pretty active the day before

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#adding-your-descriptions

[clear ocean]

text = { { BOX 1 }, { BOX 2 } }

i'll have to work on the actual coding of the fortune cookie after work

fixed the writing as looking at the vanilla cards tarot cards have that too where it's the name followed by card

not sure if they are too long though but gotta get ready

[sonic cedar]

new plan maybe (do i change self to card)

[red flower]

yes

[sonic cedar]

got it

(ignore the obj i forgot to remove it)

[modest dock]

draw_card situation is crazy

[sonic cedar]

well shit

oh ok

[unborn bay]

talisman ,,,,

[sonic cedar]

no wait its because the game is looking at ijiraq's table for extra

smh

why must i be plagued with complicated cards
why dont i just make +4 chips

[modern kindle]

alright after they were brought to my attention if codebreaker detects tampering it will debuff both chicot and luchador before you ever get to the blind and it wont be cleared until youve beaten it

[chrome widget]

nodes = story_text[1] is this, showing that the first node at least is correct and is likely formatted correctly. desc_from_rows(story_text) results in an error that "node" is nil but I'll see if I can debug that

[sonic cedar]

i was gonna tell you but i thought you did already

[modern kindle]

i was gonna just make it do on disable to the blind it just didnt work, but it didnt work how i wanted and i was too lazy to find a workaround so i just linked debuffing to my flags

[chrome widget]

Okay at the very least the stack trace there is actually direct since it occurs when the nodes are trying to set parent-child references

[red flower]

yeah the desc_from_rows i realized was wrong

[modern kindle]

i doubt people are going to actually really try and cheat the codebreaker but, why not

[red flower]

if the first one works then you might need to append all nodes to that table?

[chrome widget]

wdym? they're already in a table yeah?

[red flower]

the structure might be looking like

{
  [1] = { { n = G.UIT.C ... } },
  [2] = { { n = G.UIT.C ... } },
}

this means that each node inside it is too nested

[chrome widget]

ough

[red flower]

i think doing desc_from_rows on each value solves it

that's what i have on one of my things

[chrome widget]

local parsed_text = {}
localize{type = 'other', key = 'ch_st_'..story_id, nodes = story_text}
for i, v in ipairs(story_text) do
    parsed_text[i] = v[1]
end

local story_node = {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "cm", minw = 3, r = 0.1, colour = G.C.BLUE}, nodes={
    {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", padding = 0.08, minh = 0.6}, nodes={
        {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = localize('k_challenge_story'), scale = 0.4, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, shadow = true}},
    }},
    {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", minh = 4.1, minw = 3, maxw = 3, padding = 0.05, r = 0.1, colour = G.C.WHITE}, nodes = parsed_text}
}}```

Okay well it doesn't *crash* but it does do this, organizing them into a single row

[red flower]

funny

[chrome widget]

oh wait right desc_from_rows()

[red flower]

yeah desc_from_rows(v)

[chrome widget]

crash

[red flower]

😭

[sonic cedar]

ok new plan

[red flower]

this is what i do for one of my config tabs

[chrome widget]

doing desc_from_rows(v[1]) does this tho

[red flower]

its trying

[chrome widget]

doing its damned best

[split saddle]

how do i know what planet is being used?

in context.using_consumeable

[chrome widget]

i'll try copying your example and see if it works

[sonic cedar]

this part is always fun

[chrome widget]

err wait

[red flower]

-4

[chrome widget]

is the issue that I'm not passing in colours in the vars? I know you said it's usually caused by some nesting issue

[red flower]

context.consumeable.config.center.key

if context.consumeable.config.center.key == "key"

[red flower]

i dont think so, thats usually just that it couldnt read the node because its nested
but try it out

[sonic cedar]

CURSES

[split saddle]

I will never get over the fact that the code of this game is written in brittish english

like wdym i have to put an U in color?!?!?!

[final jewel]

I dont understand how the flip thing when a card is being enhanced work. Right now this code make me crash

[chrome widget]

the majority of english speakers worldwide use british English or some derivative due to the legacy of the British Empire fwiw

[final jewel]

or kids like english

[sonic cedar]

added a nilcheck

[chrome widget]

???

[split saddle]

what do you mean America isn't the only English speaking country in the world?? /s

[final jewel]

forget about it

[chrome widget]

Okay following your direct example: kinda?

[red flower]

whats hand[i]

[red flower]

ship it

[sonic cedar]

ok well now nothing happens lmao

[chrome widget]

not really sure why only the last row is in that raised node?

[red flower]

the loc_vars should have removed the background so thats weird

[chrome widget]

oh I didn't use any loc_vars, should I?

[red flower]

this i mean

[final jewel]

idk I saw that in Unstable but I tried without and It doesn't work either

[wind steppe]

how would i recreate a destroyed card with a random rank?

i want it to copy everything but the rank

[split saddle]

can somebody send a link to the vremade jokers?

[wind steppe]

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

[split saddle]

it should probably be pinned imo

[split saddle]

thanks

[final jewel]

I was saying that a lot of people in the world are considered english speaker but their english I limited like kids. Like me for example.

[chrome widget]

wait isn't this wrong? You're passing in a vars property that your locally declared loc_vars doesn't have and the background color property goes unused

[red flower]

your english is fine

[final jewel]

thx I'm doing my best

[red flower]

because i copied and pasted it from something else that did use that stuff haha
but it does use the background colour

[chrome widget]

also anyone can learn a language at any age, I'm not gonna associate choppy language skills with being a child tbh. Especially since due to the global hegemony of English-speaking countries, a lot of people are unfairly expected to learn english as a second language when English speakers aren't expected to learn second languages in return. So yeah you're fighting an uphill battle always being expected to engage with a lot of English-speakers in their native language rather than them having to use yours

oh sorry I missed it at the bottom using the background color lol

[final jewel]

yeah fr

[chrome widget]

So yeah ur doing fine, if someone tells you you talk like a kid, swear at them in both English and however many other languages you know

[final jewel]

But if I swear in french they find that attractive 😆

[wind steppe]

how do i get a random rank?

[final jewel]

pseudorandom_element({'2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10','J','Q','K','A'}, pseudoseed('key_ig'))

[wind steppe]

surely theres a better way to do it

this doesnt work with custom ranks after all

[formal parrot]

I think there’s a poll for ranks

[red flower]

(the rank is the rank object so i think you need to do rank.key)

[faint leaf]

im trying to make a sigil-ishh kind of joker but it just does NOT want to change the cards to the suit...

[wind steppe]

yeah thats the wrong context

should be context.after not context.end_of_round

[red flower]

also don't use math.random

[faint leaf]

pseudorandom right

[red flower]

local suit = pseudorandom_element(suits, "unique seed")

[wind steppe]

local chosen_suit = pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Suits, pseudoseed("painter_wowcoolseed")).key

[faint leaf]

gotcha 👍

oh awesome thanks

[foggy ginkgo]

How would you make it spawn 2 stone cards instead of 1

And yes this is from the marble joker

[wind steppe]

for loop

[onyx sonnet]

SMODS.add_card is simpler to use and ideally you'd just do a for loop on a var in ability.extra

[foggy ginkgo]

Right

[knotty orchid]

Why does Card.ability. show autocomplete suggestions, but card.ability. doesn't, inside functions like calculate? Is there something I'm missing?

[wind steppe]

this seems to be a more showy way of doing it thats closer to vanilla

likely from vanillaremade

[wind steppe]

vscode is weird like that sometimes

[knotty orchid]

do you suggest other editor?

[wind steppe]

no it's good still

[onyx sonnet]

vscode is all you really need

you're just using an incomplete workspace

[knotty orchid]

yeah that's what I thought

[onyx sonnet]

it doesnt have access to all the code in the balatro source code so it cant really autocomplete with accuracy

[foggy ginkgo]

Actually where would I put the loop

[onyx sonnet]

put it in the event and move SMODS.create_card inside the event

i think emplace gets fucky if you try to do it with the 'same' card

[wind steppe]

outside everything else but just inside context.setting blind

gets different stone cards that way

[foggy ginkgo]

Uhh

How would you write it TvT

[chrome widget]

a little miffed that challenges and consumables have the same c_ prefix lol

[foggy ginkgo]

I'm a silly man

[onyx sonnet]

yeah its a bit obtuse but

you really wont be using the key of a card and the key of a challenge in the same circumstance

[wind steppe]

me when i spawn the entirely of Five-Card Draw into my consumable slots

[onyx sonnet]

[sturdy monolith]

how can i get the on-screen coordinates of a Joker?

tryna make a Monika joker and i wanna make it pull your cursor towards the center of it

[foggy ginkgo]

Nvm I understand now

[split saddle]

how do you add the extra text at the bottom that says a name or something similar?

[red flower]

wdym

[clear ocean]

finished the fortuen cookie joker 👍

[sturdy monolith]

https://github.com/TheBearodactyl/insolence-balatro/blob/d1bb0cff42aea1a4b52984238533f6b4555cede5/src/load.lua#L64

add a hook to create_mod_badges

[unborn bay]

what is this embed image

[clear ocean]

i'm pretty sure there's some way to like have the eaten animation after the lucky or wheel card is triggered and not before

[unborn bay]

😭

[clear ocean]

the blueprint is to show it's not compatiable like oops all sixes

[onyx sonnet]

put it in an event and make the timing 'after'

[red flower]

animations for probability triggers are janky because of how theyre implemented

[clear ocean]

like this (popcorn)

[onyx sonnet]

oh cool

they really are that jank

[clear ocean]

yeah sure i can try that real quick

[onyx sonnet]

it might not work since the probability is rolled before the card is done being animated

but who knows

[red flower]

you might need an event inside an event or something like that

[clear ocean]

only one way to find out

maybe if that doesn't work, maybe have a boolean that is turned on (either debuff or just not have it work after triggering) and after scoring or round it is eaten

[split panther]

question how do i make a joker use custom rarity

[winter flower]

why does alt+f5 just not work for me

[clear ocean]

yeah actually maybe it's because it's linux

i should've have gone for the flush...

[clear ocean]

might have to do this 😅

[split saddle]

sorry i don't understand what is going on here

[onyx sonnet]

os shouldnt matter that much for balatro

ive barely encountered any issues

[chrome widget]

@red flower thank you for the help this was killing me lol

[normal crest]

for a moment I thought you made the challenge play the song its name is referring to when you clicked it

[chrome widget]

no im just listening to smth in the background

[red flower]

lets goooo

[clear ocean]

well i didn't hear any elo

[normal crest]

my volume is super low for discord videos

[modern kindle]

max it out

[red flower]

is the text next to the badges better than the tooltip

[normal crest]

your info queue needs an info queue for xyz jokers

[red flower]

true

[clear ocean]

okay it works

[normal crest]

also yes, it is, only cus the description the joker is really big

if it was smaller it'd look odd

[clear ocean]

one question is that is there a way to make sure it doesn't accidentally get the wheel of fortune if you have another joker

[red flower]

yeah im about to try it with a smaller one

[normal crest]

now the tooltips are scary

[red flower]

i think it looks fine, i might need to right/left align the text

[normal crest]

if it was any less wide it'd start looking odd

so if that's as narrow as it gets, you're fine

[red flower]

id rather it look odd so that people read it than nobody reading it lol

[normal crest]

also how does it look with more badges

[normal crest]

still fine

[red flower]

now time to turn this into multiboxes

[split saddle]

how do you add the extra text at the bottom of a joker?

another one of these

[red flower]

i patch G.UIDEF.card_h_popup to do this

so something like that

[red flower]

or this

[tepid crow]

what

can't you just modify the badges func

[red flower]

yeah thats the "or this" part of what i said

[tepid crow]

oh it's called set_badges

[split saddle]

i tried reading through it but didn't understand anything... 😭
do i just copy-paste it and see what happens?

[tall wharf]

why does this happen
