[trail tide]

What pseudorandom functions are there? I need one that generates a float between 0 and other number

[rapid stag]

bump

[red flower]

there isnt one that does exactly that, you would use pseudorandom("seed") that gives you one between 0 and 1 and multiply it

[slim ferry]

why do poll_enhancement and poll_seal just have args for their arguments? is that just to make it not care what you put in there or something?

[trail tide]

Oh thanks

[slim ferry]

oh its probably because you input a table isnt it

[red flower]

it's to have a table that you can easily add more arguments too and have them be named arguments

[slim ferry]

yeah okay

[wintry solar]

Oh I need to make SMODS.poll_edition actually

[red flower]

which is better than poll_edition(ni, nil, nil, nil)

[slim ferry]

would i refer to the arguments by args.<name> then?

[red flower]

in a hook? yes

[worthy stirrup]

Does the calculate function of a consumable apply when its held in the hand or what

[red flower]

yes

[wintry solar]

What are you hooking the poll functions for?

[worthy stirrup]

Damn, I’m not sure how I’m gonna make this work. I want it to keep an internal counter to check if it’s still the same ante it was used on, and then, when a hand is played, it should halve the chips, sorry if this is shittly worded

[slim ferry]

is options in poll_enhancement just a table of enhancements like <key> = true etc.?

and is the output just the key as a string

[cursive gazelle]

eremel have you seen my fork of smods ?

[modern kindle]

🍴

[red flower]

see below and yes

[slim ferry]

oh the utility page just has a worse explanation

i see

[red flower]

we love the smods docs

[slim ferry]

if poll_enhancement returns nil, will that crash or just do an unenhanced card?

[red flower]

the enhancement page doesnt say what it returns lol

[warm dragon]

ok, so jokerless does it with custom = {
{id = 'no_shop_jokers'}, but as far as I can tell there is no id for 'no_shop_planets'

[slim ferry]

yeah i think you would need to make your own challenge rule for that

because

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[wintry solar]

Did you make a PR?

[slim ferry]

challenges are annoying

[warm dragon]

So when you say that I would have to patch here, you are saying I would have to add something to the main game code? I can ban planets in the code for the challenge specifically?

[red flower]

yes, you would need to add a no_shop_planets and check for it there

[warm dragon]

Can I add the no_shop_planets somewhere in my mod instead of editing the actual code for the game?

[rapid stag]

bump

[red flower]

you need to hook/patch game functions for the game to read them
you dont necessarily need to patch there exactly, a hook would work

if you really dont want to do any of that you would need to wait for that smods feature like I said

[cursive gazelle]

no i just made a fork and edited some ui , i figured i ask before making a pr

[red flower]

you can just make a draft PR

[warm dragon]

I think it would be useful to see a mod that used a hook as an example

[wintry solar]

I’m not going to go and seek out forks and read them

I have much better things to do with my time

[modern kindle]

hi eremel

hope you are well

[red flower]

this edits the function that checks if a card is a face card for pareidolia

[wintry solar]

Hello dilly, I am well, how are you?

[modern kindle]

i wish we could auto remove embeds instead of having to remove them ourselves for links

[warm dragon]

Thanks that helps

[modern kindle]

im doing alright, more awake now and livin
not sure what i want to do with the day yet

[cursive gazelle]

i just added some ui changes

[slim ferry]

why does base use the prefix c_ but other enhancements use m_

that seems wierd

[warm dragon]

I know that the way my mod is now pluto will still show up in shop and blue seals are still possible, but I'd like to playtest it anyway. But when I try to open balatro its crashing so I don't even think I have the folders set up correctly and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong

[wintry solar]

I don’t see much point for this tbh

[cursive gazelle]

its good for bigger modpack managment

[modern kindle]

is reload all mods just restarting the game anyway

feels like the keybind fulfills that purpose faster

[red flower]

what's the crash

[wintry solar]

Adding menu bloat to add niche use case buttons doesn’t seem ideal

[cursive gazelle]

i think an ingame button better than a hotkey that not everyone knows about

[cursive gazelle]

i'll keep it forpersonal use then

[warm dragon]

https://pastebin.com/3XLfWuzi

[red flower]

can i see the code too

also you can just send the file here

[modern kindle]

i mean i suppose, id just add a keybind section that says what keybinds do what to solve what not everyone knows about

[slim ferry]

do empty tables act the same as nil?

[red flower]

no

notably empty tables are truthy

[wintry solar]

Eris what are you trying to do?

[cursive gazelle]

pressing a button is better than having to memorize a hotkey

[slim ferry]

im trying to hook poll_enhancement to remove enhancements that are in G.GAME.banned_keys from options

[wintry solar]

You mean four buttons right?

[red flower]

you need to press like 5 buttons to reach that

[modern kindle]

if you struggle to remember 'f5 to restart' then you have greater problems

[slim ferry]

im just wondering what to do if all enhancements are banned

because i assume it doesnt like it when poll_enhancement returns nil

[red flower]

youre missing the quotes around the file

[slim ferry]

or if options is empty

[warm dragon]

oh duh

THanks

[wintry solar]

Nah returning nil should be fine

That’s what it does when your poll doesn’t hit

[slim ferry]

ah i see

and what about options being an empty table?

[red flower]

the game already does this i think

at least banner lets me ban all of them

[worthy stirrup]

Hey, just wanting to get some help, how could I make the event trigger whenever the ante is the same as the ante it was used and when a hand is played?

    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        self.ante_used = G.GAME.round_resets.ante
        self.active = true
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                return true
            end
        }))
    end,

[slim ferry]

i mean that does really say much because banner couldve also added a hook for that

[wintry solar]

Then it uses the current pool which should respect banned keys anyway

[rapid stag]

bump

[wintry solar]

It would only not look at the banned list if the options have been manually fed in

[red flower]

ty mods

[exotic hedge]

[worthy stirrup]

small little bumpy :3c

[slim ferry]

okay so i think this would work?

since i dont need to do anything if options was nil anyway

[warm dragon]

https://pastebin.com/WLJEYyVk

its still crashing though

[slim ferry]

because that already respects bans

[rotund sable]

If #⚙・modding-general is a chat for mods then what's #💻・modding-dev 🤨

[wintry solar]

Options can also be an integer indexed table of strings

[worthy stirrup]

helping others, i mean... just look around

[red flower]

here is where mods get trained

[rotund sable]

Oohh

Makes sense

[red flower]

syntax error, there's a missing comma or bracket probably

[slim ferry]

so i would also have to do k, v instead and also check if v is a key thats in G.GAME.banned_keys?

[warm dragon]

Well its good to know that forgetting a comma is as annoying to figure out in lua as it is in every other language lol

[red flower]

this is why you get a good editor that highlights errors :3

you can also make it complete your commas for you

[worthy stirrup]

wait, is there even a way to do this

[slim ferry]

okay NOW this should always work properly

[red flower]

== {} doesnt work

[slim ferry]

FUCK

[warm dragon]

ok, so why does the name of the challenge show up as ERROR instead of SpongeBob? and why aren't the three jokers negative?

[red flower]

do not next(table) or #table == 0

[slim ferry]

now would it be correct to assume that poll_seal doesnt respect bans by default, unlike poll_enhancement

[red flower]

youre missing a loc_txt for the first one

[red flower]

i think it does

it uses the same function

[slim ferry]

ah

(then why the need to do a hook to ban blue seals earlier...

[red flower]

i dont know if challenges let you add seals to banned keys but no idea

[warm dragon]

Is that a separate file I need?

[red flower]

no

[slim ferry]

i forgot that i need to do something with this too,..,,,

[warm dragon]

I thought that was what I was doing with name = 'SpongeBob',

[red flower]

no that does nothing

afaik

[rapid stag]

bump

[red flower]

oh banner adds defaults

[slim ferry]

ah

but i assume i wouldnt need to do that for enhancements because returning nil already works

[red flower]

yeah im guessing

[slim ferry]

would this solve the weight system

[proven belfry]

i made a joker that's like a blueprint for both sides of itself in joker forge and put it in with the rest of my mod but it's not copying the joker to the right, anyone know why?

[slim ferry]

because joker forge doesnt work properly with copying multiple jokers

[red flower]

it would be v.key but if v is not a table it will crash so you need to check taht first

[proven belfry]

then how would I fix ut

[slim ferry]

idfk ive never made a blueprint card

[warm dragon]

I'm so confused

[slim ferry]

how would i check if v is a table

[rapid stag]

there can only be one calculate function. you need to do all this in one calculate.

[red flower]

type(v) == "table"

[red flower]

what part

[proven belfry]

well now it's doing two returns which won't work

[rapid stag]

yes. you need to combine the return tables that you get from either joker

i think smods has a function for that

[red flower]

it does i made it :3

[warm dragon]

I replaced name = 'SpongeBob' with

loc_txt = { name = 'SpongeBob' }

and now the game crashes

[candid prism]

jokerforge card copying is not working you just kinda cant copy in most cases

[warm dragon]

wait maybe because I forgot a comma again

[candid prism]

use " not '

[warm dragon]

use not?

[candid prism]

use quotes (") not apostrophes (')

[red flower]

" and ' both work

[candid prism]

oh

[slim ferry]

theyre interchangable in like almost every single programming language i thought

[red flower]

this joker does the exact thing you want https://github.com/Trif3ctal/Tangents/blob/10786b7cb9cc36e8c92656ad4cc9af637c13835c/stuff/wankers/TheLegend27/its9inches.lua#L362

[warm dragon]

ok, I got the name working! WOOOO this is so exciting

Still not understanding why my starting jokers aren't negative though

[candid prism]

idk i just use quotes and usually only see quotes

[warm dragon]

I have negative = true

[slim ferry]

you need to do

edition = "e_negative"

i think

[rapid stag]

try edition = 'e_negative' instead

[modern kindle]

i despise how this git path is

[rapid stag]

good git path

[red flower]

@lament agate

[slim ferry]

does this cover like every single way that options can be filled in now?

[modern kindle]

how dare u tattle on me

[red flower]

you would use pairs for options, not ipairs

also its usually not a good idea to modify a table while iterating it

[warm dragon]

Lets go!!! it was negative not e_negative, but that works!

[warm dragon]

ok, now to figure out blue seals

[ebon shell]

hi everyone can anyone tell me how i make this create the planet card for the most played hand? i know the key arg is what decides which planet to create but how do i make it look for the most played hand?

[red flower]

you would need to loop through the hands to check the most played (check Obelisk for something similar) and then iterate through the planets to get the planet for that (check blue seal)

[worthy stirrup]

when should I check if the ante has changed, the start or end of a blind

[red flower]

heres the one to get the planet i have in my mod https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/0496dfe91c2fedfe5c5cfe6adb2d42ddb55d2c07/src/utils.lua#L599

[slim ferry]

so instead just make a list of keys to remove from the table and then remove them after?

[red flower]

i would do that yeah

[worthy stirrup]

wait no, i can just check when a hand is played and intregate it with the rest

[hidden notch]

I tried to add a custom info_queue, but it always returns without the text component...?

[worthy stirrup]

How would I get context into a Event?
Im trying to check if a hand is played and then trigger the false part

    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        self.ante_used = G.GAME.round_resets.ante
        self.active = true
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                if self.ante_used == G.GAME.round_resets.ante then
                    print("Same Ante")
                    return false
                end
                print("New Ante")
                return true
            end,
            blocking = false
        }))
    end,

[rapid stag]

bump, does no-one know at all what i need to put in config?

[warm dragon]

@slim ferry wait so can I use banned_keys to ban blue seals?

[red flower]

there are no contexts in use

only in calculate

[worthy stirrup]

How would i check when a hand is played

[red flower]

if a hand is played then use cant be run

you want to use calculate for that

[worthy stirrup]

but you said the calculate only ran when the card is in hand, however I want the affect to apply when the consumable is used

sorry if what im saying isnt clear

[red flower]

you cant use the consumable and play a hand at the same time unless you modify the vanilla functions

whats the goal?

[worthy stirrup]

The card when used, gives the player a tooth, however for the rest of that ante the player will suffer with .5x chips

[red flower]

oh then you would need to do other stuff, thats kinda difficult

the easiest way i can think of is like Balatro Goes Kino's consumables that stay in hand after use and apply an effect and then get destroyed

[worthy stirrup]

oh, that does soundlike something I could try, thank you

[red flower]

else you would need to do stuff with dummy objects or things like that

[worthy stirrup]

I could probably make the tooth do the debuffing

[warm dragon]

ok @red flower so i have to use a hook to make a 'no_shop_planets' so that I can include that in my rules.custom

so I am going to write a local something but what function am I modifying?

[ebon shell]

i copied this code from another mod which is supposed to create the planet card for your most played poker hand, but it just keeps creating pluto. which part is causing this and what do i need to change?

[red flower]

Game:start_run
probably

[warm dragon]

I'm lost again I think

[red flower]

i honestly would just recommend waiting for that PR

[warm dragon]

When do you think that would be?

[red flower]

no idea, maybe 2 weeks?

if it gets accepted of course

[warm dragon]

oh, ok then I guess I'll just wait

[red flower]

you can also use that version of smods

[warm dragon]

which version?

[red flower]

the one that includes my changes

of course it would be hard to convince othe rpeople to use it haha

[hidden notch]

How would I go about doing that? 🤔

[warm dragon]

@red flower btw did you mention there was a way to ban blue seals without a Hook? using banned_keys or something?

[ebon shell]

anybody?

[red flower]

im sorry thats from a month ago haha whats this about?

[red flower]

you can add them to G.GAME.banned_keys, maybe challenges already do that but no idea

try adding "Blue" as a banned key

[warm dragon]

would that be in restrictions or in rules? or somewhere else?

[red flower]

restrictions

[warm dragon]

so in restrections I can make a banned_keys table? and add id='blue' ?

[red flower]

no

in banned_cards

it has to be Blue capitalized too

[warm dragon]

ok so in cards I would put {G.GAME.banned_keys = 'Blue'}

[hidden notch]

Yeah makes sense

I wanna add a custom section for my Localisation, and I don't wanna add my new entries to "Others"
;; When accessing my custom "Artist"-Section, it shows the Name but not the Text
-# basil_squaredd had a very very similiar issue and was able to resolve it by adding their new description to "Others"

But I'd like to know how to make the game register my new "Artist"-Section x'3

[red flower]

no 😭

like you did with the jokers and the packs

[red flower]

ah no idea

[hidden notch]

Gosh

Darn it

[warm dragon]

id = G.GAME.banned_keys.Blue

[red flower]

i did something like that by making a dummy object that extends from a center

but theres probably an easier way

[red flower]

no, just Blue

[warm dragon]

oh just id = Blue with no quotes or with quotes

[red flower]

with quotes

[warm dragon]

ok, adding this:

{ id = 'Blue' }, Makes the game crash at startup

[red flower]

whats the crash

[rapid stag]

i took a look through the process. this shouldn't be returning nil in nil.
further investigation is confusing me to no end - i tried intentionally causing crases by rempving config entirely from my table to no effect. i've tried doing config = { vars = { 1, 4} } to see if that's what's going on here. nothing. i've also tried wrapping the get_probability_vars in an assert() to see if i could work out what it's trying to grab, also to no effect.

why is it nil in nil

[warm dragon]

https://pastebin.com/CaTJ6VXK

[red flower]

that looks like a syntax error

[rapid stag]

okay, i ended up giving up and solving it this way

not the best way to do it, but should be fine for now, i guess?

[warm dragon]

yep you're right I spelled id wrong 🤦‍♂️ ok now the game boots but it crashes when I look at the restrictions on the challenge screen

https://pastebin.com/EGsCQPA0

I think because it doesn't know what Blue is

[red flower]

yeah then seals dont work

[warm dragon]

Darn

[ebon shell]

I don't wanna be too insistent but i still want an answer

please

[warm dragon]

Honestly that doesn't bother me as much as the fact that pluto cards still show up. If I could figure out how to ban planet cards I would be happy but I think I just don't know enough about lua to understand how hooks work

@red flower How does this mod prevent planet cards from showing up in shopt? https://github.com/NewtTheFish/SylvieSilly/blob/main/SylvieSilly.lua

He seems to just set planet_rate=0

[red flower]

it does what i said, it sets planet_rate to 0 in a hook

this is for decks tho

[warm dragon]

I can't be the first person trying to ban planet cards in a challenge right?

[red flower]

no its not that hard to do what i said lol

[warm dragon]

lol, I'm sorry I am having such a hard time lol

[manic rune]

maybe try SMODS.add_card{type = "Planet", key = _planet}?

[hidden notch]

-# Other it is, sorry to whomever might search trough all tooltip messages for a solution

[warm dragon]

This dude is literally trying to do the same this as me: https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1352326255474770041

[ebon shell]

still only creating pluto. maybe the issue is with the system for detecting the most played hand?

[manic rune]

mhm i guess thats the case

im on phone rn though so cant help much

[ebon shell]

now that im testing the joker i copied this from it also creates pluto, so the issue is in fact the code for detecting most played hand

[manic rune]

id probably try printing v.config.hand_type and G.GAME.current_round... to see if they are different

[ebon shell]

nvm actually after playing more hands it works, so the issue is within my own code

[warm dragon]

@red flower I need something like this? But i don't know what the og function is and also idk how the syntax works

local SomeFunction_old = ???
if challenge is spongebob
    self.GAME.planet_rate = 0
else
    local ret = SomeFunctionOld()
    return ret
end

[buoyant thorn]

i already checked the example vanilla mod and also tried searching the modding wiki on github but

theoretically speaking
how would one go about making a joker that gives 5 times current ante in mult?

and how is one expected to find specific variables on their own?
im so confused

[manic rune]

G.GAME.current_round.ante i think?

[warm dragon]

This one I think I can answer lol. Copy the Balatro.exe file to a different folder, change the extension to .zip and unzip it. Then open the files and look for the variable names

[red flower]

the function is Game:start_run, read it in the source code
also for the logic here you dont want to do an if... else... because you want to run the original code always
the key for the challenge is in G.GAME.challenge

[manic rune]

but as for the latter part of your question, mostly just remembering the variables through muscle memory lol

[buoyant thorn]

ah!
I didn't know you could do that thank you 💖

[modern kindle]

Hi bepis

[red flower]

i recommend checking the code in the lovely/dump folder in your mods folder instead

[manic rune]

hi dilly

have you seen the extra effects stuff i did :3

[modern kindle]

Nope i sure didnt

What you do

[slim ferry]

pretty sure its G.GAME.round_resets.ante

[manic rune]

yeah makes sense

i always mix round_resets and current_round, bleh

[warm dragon]

ok so I start with
local Game:start_run = SomeObject.SomeFunction

but what is the object function? it equals? Is that SMODS.Challenge ?

[buoyant thorn]

i guess i could try them one bye one
ill do that first actually

[modern kindle]

Ooo
Does it add the total to cav
Ie becomes x4.13 or does it do x3 and then x1.13

[buoyant thorn]

Jimbo's weakest cousin

[red flower]

nope, you got it backwards
local game_start_run_ref = Game.start_run

[manic rune]

they multiply each other

[warm dragon]

You can open the game.lua and search for terms you know to find the actual things you need

[modern kindle]

Icic

[manic rune]

its almost X2

by almost i mean X5.99999 mult type of almost

but also, you arent meant to have this much passive and attacks anyways lol

-# at least, not outside of bsr

[modern kindle]

That's pretty epic
Almost like my glitch edition which gives a random boost to values

[manic rune]

those effects use their own calculate

[warm dragon]

ok, then
Game.start_run = function(self, arg1, arg2)

but then what is this function?

[manic rune]

and very easy to add new effects too

[red flower]

wdym

[modern kindle]

To make mine work I had to do some wack ass hooking lmao

[warm dragon]

The link you sent me the example is

SomeObject.SomeFunction = function(self, arg1, arg2)

so is that

Game.start_run = no_shop_planets()

[red flower]

no

[warm dragon]

I am trying to follow this

local SomeFunction_old = SomeObject.SomeFunction
SomeObject.SomeFunction = function(self, arg1, arg2)
    print("PRE hook!")
    local ret = SomeFunction_old(self, arg1, arg2)
    print("POST hook!")
    return ret
end

[manic rune]

tbf my hook is pretty wack too

-# i did fix the table later on

[red flower]

local game_start_run_old = Game.start_run
Game.start_run = function(self, args)
    print("PRE hook!")
    local ret = game_start_run_old(self, args)
    print("POST hook!")
    return ret
end

[modern kindle]

Ill have to show you mine sometime
Im pretty sure it doesn't even work for dollars but I haven't checked

[manic rune]

i will take a look at it when you do

:p

[warm dragon]

right so then what is the function(self, args)

[red flower]

the hook is as i wrote it

you would only replace the prints with your code

args is the argument to the original

[warm dragon]

OH! I thought the function was a place holder fo rmy function

[warm dragon]

ok so then where to I set planet_rate=0? instead of the prehook print statement?

[manic rune]

sob

[red flower]

probably instead of the post hook

[warm dragon]

and can i just not have a pre hook?

[red flower]

yeah

[warm dragon]

So like this:

local game_start_run_old = Game.start_run
Game.start_run = function(self, args)
    local ret = game_start_run_old(self, args)
    planet_rate = 0
    return ret
end

How do I make it only disable planet cards inside the one challenge though and not everywhere?

[red flower]

you can maybe do G.GAME.banned_keys["Blue"] = true there too

it's G.GAME.planet_rate

and you would check if G.GAME.challenge == "your challenge key"

[warm dragon]

local game_start_run_old = Game.start_run
Game.start_run = function(self, args)
    local ret = game_start_run_old(self, args)
    if G.GAME.challenge == "spongebob"
        G.GAME.planet_rate = 0
        G.GAME.banned_keys["Blue"] = true
    return ret
end

like that?

[red flower]

you're missing the then and end on the if statement

[manic rune]

are you missing lua extension

[red flower]

also im not sure if the key for the challenge is correct

it might need to be ch_key or something

[warm dragon]

local game_start_run_old = Game.start_run
Game.start_run = function(self, args)
    local ret = game_start_run_old(self, args)
    if G.GAME.challenge == "spongebob"
    then
        G.GAME.planet_rate = 0
        G.GAME.banned_keys["Blue"] = true
    end
    return ret
end

[red flower]

c_[modprefix]_[key]

[red flower]

aside from the key thing i just said it looks correct

[warm dragon]

what is the mod prefix?

[red flower]

whatever you set in your json file

[warm dragon]

oh right

[warm dragon]

And did I put the hook in the right place?

[rapid stag]

...uhhhh
why is it doing that?

can't reproduce it not sure what i did to make it happen

[red flower]

i only see one line

[warm dragon]

my bad

[red flower]

yeah thats good

[warm dragon]

omg apparently not

https://pastebin.com/9XMMe5Gi

[red flower]

oh

G.GAME.challenge == 'c_ec_spongebob'

[warm dragon]

yep yep, what part of the error messege told you that was the mistake

[slim ferry]

finally finished this up, it should account for actually everything now

[red flower]

whats the first part for

[slim ferry]

allows ignoring bans if you dont fill in options

[red flower]

oh ok makes sense

i still wouldnt ignore in_pool tho

[slim ferry]

how would i not do that,,...

also i didnt know enhancements worked with in_pool

[knotty compass]

heyaa does anyone know is there an option to check if the joker is being retriggered? i want to make so one of its abilities is not affected by retriggers

[red flower]

you would need to add an in_pool check

like get_current_pool does

[slim ferry]

but if i wanted to do that what pool would i even check

[red flower]

if context.retrigger_joker iirc

[red flower]

wdym

[knotty compass]

thanks!

[slim ferry]

well if you pull enhancements from a pool

you can use any pool

and how would i check in the correct pool

[warm dragon]

OK! I think everything is working and I learned a bunch. Thanks for the info and patience @red flower and @slim ferry 🙂

[rapid stag]

bump

[red flower]

poll_enhancements is always on the enhancements pool

or the options

not in a custom pool

[slim ferry]

well then it wont ignore that though right?

because if options is filled in it changes nothing

and otherwise it does the regular enhancements pool like usual

[tired otter]

Hey um on a scale of 1-10 how hard is modding balatro without jokerforge?-

[red flower]

no, because you're adding all enhancements into the options with your first condition

[slim ferry]

uh yeah

all the enhancements in G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Enhanced

[red flower]

yeah you would need to check in_pool for each

[slim ferry]

is G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Enhanced not the enhancement pool?

[red flower]

yes

but it has all enhancements

in_pool doesnt remove it from the pool directly

thats why get_current_pool exists

[knotty compass]

works! thanks ^^

[slim ferry]

and how would i check in_pool

where is that

because its not a function

is it in G.P_CENTER_POOLS?

for each enhancement

[red flower]

this is in get_current_pool

_starting_pool would be G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Enhanced

[slim ferry]

so just add if v.in_pool?

[red flower]

you need to add the entire if block in the screenshot

if v.in_pool would only check if the in_pool function exists

honestly it was probably easier to patch get_current_pool to not check banned keys lol

[slim ferry]

but then where would i add the enhancements to options

[candid prism]

im goimg imnane

[slim ferry]

because this just makes a bunch of variables

but i dont see it doing anything with them

besides changing them

[red flower]

you would add it if the returned in_pool is true

[rotund sable]

What's your atlas definition?

Or are you trying to pass animation atlas to a joker?

[rotund sable]

Like in joker

[red flower]

i think you can ignore pool_opts for enhancements

[candid prism]

this is my entire joker lua (the message above urs)

[slim ferry]

youre just putting a png path

you need an atlas

unless your atlas is called joker.png which i doubt

[rotund sable]

Oh I'm on mobile I thought it was a crash log

[red flower]

am i seeing the wrong file

the problem is that the atlas shold be named Analog in the joker

[candid prism]

oh

[slim ferry]

oh thats

an atlas definition

nvm

[red flower]

both of you said it wasnt there so i thought i was crazy lol

[candid prism]

can you tell i have no idea what im doing

[buoyant thorn]

hey um
i tried looking inside the game.lua file
i couldn't find the voucher redeem context at all

i need to make sure hieroglyph is accounted for and stuff since im not just making a joker so um
how do i?...

[slim ferry]

is this correct?

[red flower]

yeah

i dont think you need any arguments in in_pool

[slim ferry]

also when would something not be banned but also not be in_pool anyway

[chrome widget]

I have examples of this but probably not your use case

Oh wait no you mean in general

A lot of things can be not banned but not in the pool

[red flower]

its easier to add an in_pool than hook a function to ban the key

or hook a function to unban the key dynamically

[slim ferry]

oh so like

things like the vanilla enhancement jokers do that right?

[red flower]

yes

[chrome widget]

Yeah

[red flower]

context.buying_card

[zealous glen]

They could be in the pool but have a weight of 0

[ebon shell]

this is supposed to trigger if all cards held in hand are either hearts or clubs, so i have it do nothing if it finds a spade or diamond, otherwise it runs the rest of the code. but for some reason it's doing nothing in both cases? what did i do wrong here?

[zealous glen]

So if you’re creating objects, I suggest not creating those with a weight of 0

[red flower]

context.individual and context.joker_main dont happen at the same time

also why dont you check for the suits directly?

this will work incorrectly with any modded suit

[ebon shell]

if i do that it will still trigger if there are hearts/clubs AND other suits

i need it to be only hearts/clubs

[wintry solar]

Check if the card is hearts or clubs and if not stop

You currently only stop if it’s spades or diamonds

What if it’s a modded suit?

[whole canyon]

hey. I'm a noob

`v_1_joker: "1 Joker Tag"

v_2_jokers: "2 Jokers Tag"

v_3_jokers: "3 Jokers Tag"

v_d_tag: "D Tag"

v_reroll_tag: "Reroll Tag"

are these vouchers? tags?

[wintry solar]

Your check would not catch it and youd end up with a hand that could contain other suits

[red flower]

jumpscare

[ebon shell]

does something like this work?

[wintry solar]

No because like N said before, context.individual and context.joker_main are never both true at the same time

[ebon shell]

oh right forgot to fix that

[slim ferry]

vouchers use the prefix v_, so i assume theyre vouchers? seems like wierd names for vouchers though

tags have the prefix tag_ so identifying them is usually pretty easy

[whole canyon]

that's the base game code

[chrome widget]

That said you're not still checking correctly anyway, if you need to poll all cards in hand

[rapid stag]

bump

[slim ferry]

where in the base game code did you even find these lmao

[chrome widget]

You'd need to loop through the rest of the cards in G.hand.cards and then cancel if any of them are not your two valid suits

[red flower]

you probably want

if context.joker_main then
  local is_all_h_or_c = true
  for _, pcard in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
    if not (pcard:is_suit("Hearts") or pcard:is_suit("Clubs")) then
      is_all_h_or_c = false
      break
    end
  end
  if is_all_h_or_c then
    -- your effect
  end
end

[chrome widget]

Could also just return outright instead of break

Assuming no other code follows

[red flower]

yeah

[whole canyon]

in the language file 🙁

[slim ferry]

i cant find them...

[red flower]

the 2 Jokers Tag saved a lot of my runs

the 3 Jokers Tag is very bad tho

[slim ferry]

what the FUCK is a 3 jokers tag‼️

[red flower]

it's like the 1 Joker Tag but x3

[slim ferry]

whats the 1 joker tag

is that like the 3 jokers tag /3

[red flower]

exactly

[slim ferry]

uhuh

interesting

[chrome widget]

Is this a modded thing?

[slim ferry]

IDK

[whole canyon]

okay yes my bad
came from my own broken dict I started writing

sorryyy

[slim ferry]

i love 1 joker tag

[slim ferry]

7 grand tag

[red flower]

yoo

[chrome widget]

Honestly Cardsauce should add one of those or smth writing that down

Idk we already have a 7 grand dad joker

[ebon shell]

for some reason this part that's supposed to create the planet for most played hand only updates each ante, so like if most played hand changes on big blind it only starts creating the new planet card after the boss blind. why's that?

[modern kindle]

Winter :)

[red flower]

because that value is set for blinds that check for the last ante, you would need to check in a loop through all hands like I said before

[ebon shell]

so umm what do

sorry i have no experience neither with coding nor modding this game

[red flower]

obelisk does something similar, but instead of checking the most played hand it checks if any hand has been played more than the current one
you can use this as a basis for what you want
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/d4c5b52b83dc705da6fdaafbf5c49a3540532b15/src/jokers.lua#L2124

[cursive gazelle]

Doesn’t the Ox do that

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[cursive gazelle]

Oh i see

[red flower]

oh but the code is a better example

its funny how it doesnt use the order part

[cursive gazelle]

I meant if it works

[ebon shell]

for obelisk it has a set hand to compare with, that being the current played hand, but for me I want to get THE most played hand, so i can't compare it to another hand and say "yes, this hand is played more, trigger the joker effect now"

how can i achieve that?

[red flower]

look at the screenshot i just sent

[cursive gazelle]

What is reading

[lime thorn]

Two if we count the SiIvagunner mod.

But I think Love Live jokers would be peak

[candid prism]

how do i up text size in a joker's title

[proven belfry]

idk if you can

im making a double-blueprint of sorts, how do I also copy target_joker2

[rapid stag]

we said before, SMODS.merge_effects() you want to merge blueprint_effect with joker1 and joker2

[proven belfry]

where would I put it

[wintry solar]

change return to local ret =

[proven belfry]

and then how do I use SMODS.merge_effects

the wiki doesn't show the formatting

[plain ember]

Had to leave that day, thank you so much!

[frosty rampart]

takes any number of 2D arrays
once you have ret from your first blueprint effect, and something like ret2 storing your second blueprint effect, it's literally just return SMODS.merge_effects(ret, ret2) i think

[normal crest]

should be SMODS.merge_effects { ret, ret2 } iirc

[rapid stag]

sanity check: does the seed value passed into pseudorandom_probability become the context.identifier in context.pseudorandom_result?

so for example, lucky card mult proc is SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(self, 'lucky_mult', 1, 5), i can detect that on the other side via context.identifier == 'lucky_mult'

[normal crest]

yes

[red flower]

i literally sent you the entire code 😭

[proven belfry]

apparently the link is blocked

Something I do every night before bed with a concerning list of tags in my AO3 filters

[cursive gazelle]

is this double sided blueprint lol

[red flower]

yes

[cursive gazelle]

great i guess lol

[chrome widget]

hmmmmm trying to figure out the best way to display artist credits for my decks....

[cursive gazelle]

infoqueues are usually what people do

also is your mod out yet?, i think i asked before but i just wanna check some shader codes

i got mine working btw

thanks again

[chrome widget]

Maybe like this

Also no info_queue is not valid for the deck selection screen

[chrome widget]

No, it's currently private b/c it has my real name on it and it's unfinished

[cursive gazelle]

please let me no when it's public

know*

[chrome widget]

sure, it'll get a thread here

[cursive gazelle]

idk what's up with me sorry my headache is getting the best of me

[chrome widget]

idk I don't think you did anything wrong?

[cursive gazelle]

just a spelling mistake

[chrome widget]

oh I see, shrug

[cursive gazelle]

btw how can i give a card a sticker

[chrome widget]

use Card:add_sticker(sticker_key, bypass_check)

[modern kindle]

silly winter, your real name is right there
i see it hidden in plain sight

    end
end

this doesnt update the deck constantly but it does update if i look at a different deck and look at this deck again. How can i make it update constantly?

[chrome widget]

Uhhh question, does this work? Or do I have to hard declare the self argument if I send it to the function explicitly

Otherwise I can just do this I suppose

[split saddle]

I've got a working language pack that change up some names, but the misc = {} section isn't working
what's wrong here?

[chrome widget]

is it nested one too far down?

it should be at the highest level of the return table for the localization

[split saddle]

not inside description

maybe that's it

[chrome widget]

For example I'm fairly certain I saw you had quips aside it, but quips is actually within misc in the vanilla structure

[split saddle]

yeah, it was the nesting level

[vast night]

imma bump this since htis is apparently the only message that was sent about this but never answered. for me its before scoring tho

[dapper sun]

i never figured it out myself and just used a similar effect

..which likely wouldn't work for whatever you're doing

[vast night]

oh sry for pinging

ty

[dapper sun]

it's ok, i was already chatting in the next channel over

[vast night]

imma look at how the calculate works in the game elsewise rq

[dapper sun]

tbh you could probably just

chips x mult

[distant junco]

how does one check the amount of money one has

its dollar_buffer or something, right?

[vast night]

G.GAME.dollars

[distant junco]

ah

thank you

[split saddle]

k_not_allowed_ex is supposed to be the "Not Allowed!" text, right?

[vast night]

so G.hand.chips * G.hand.mult right

[split saddle]

wait it's the guy from reddit that is doing the same thing as me XD

[dapper sun]

i'd assume so

[vast night]

wait fr?

there are 3 different ones

which one

[split saddle]

i'm the guy that suggested we join forces

and nobody listened even though it'd be a great idea

[vast night]

this one?

i didnt see this :(

[split saddle]

it's ok

[vast night]

competitive me

[vast night]

you can help code tho for sure

i also have another developer but he got another remote job + exams so hes busy

[split saddle]

there are also some jokers that have no art and I did some myself

[vast night]

https://discord.gg/yKfuuu9vBg

[split saddle]

*hacker voice* i'm in

[split saddle]

back to this, is the psychic stupid?

everything else is working so idk

[slim ferry]

try searching for "Not Allowed!" in the language file maybe?

maybe the psychic is just stupid though idk

[split saddle]

that's the first thing i did

[slim ferry]

did you save it

[split saddle]

yeah

i have autosave on onFocusLost so it will always save when I reset the game

[frigid cargo]

bump

[vast night]

hi team. im bumping a wall rn tbh. why the hell dosent the context.before and context.after trigger? the context.joker_main works perfectly fine

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        elseif context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
            card.ability.extra.old_chips = to_Number(G.GAME.chips)
        elseif context.after and context.cardarea == G.play then
            print(to_number(G.GAME.chips))
            print(card.ability.extra.old_chips)
            if to_number(G.GAME.chips)-card.ability.extra.old_chips >= to_number(G.GAME.blind.chips) then

[slim ferry]

because the joker isnt in G.play

i think what youre trying to do is iterate over G.play

but this isnt the way to do that

also i dont think G.GAME.chips exists, pretty sure its G.hand.chips

[vast night]

idfk what im doing wrong

[slim ferry]

im pretty sure the docs are just wrong then

strange

[royal ridge]

hardcode moment

[slim ferry]

you dont need to so elseifs for each context check btw, each check can be (and generally should be i think?) its own if statement

[split saddle]

there must be a better way 🤔

[vast night]

its that little more computing power you need to squeze out

[slim ferry]

okay well apparently the docs are just fucked up ig

[vast night]

apparently i can just use context.before without the context.cardarea check 🤷

[slim ferry]

for the context.before check you should instead do if context.before and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint

or

[vast night]

or context.main_eval

lmao we said the same thing

[slim ferry]

i assume the context.after check could be the same as the context.before

wierd that the docs do it like that though, because context.cardarea == G.play would be for enhancements...

in context.before/after at least

[vast night]

ea

yea

wth

context.after triggered before scoring finished

[slim ferry]

uhhh,,

did you put context.main_eval

because you could maybe try doing not context.main_eval? idk if that would work

[vast night]

putting the not just prevented it from triggering

gonna go sleep

ill ask tomorrow

tysm for trying to help <3

[vernal path]

am i stupit (dont answer that) whats the context for scored cards

[faint yacht]

context.cardarea == G.play

[vernal path]

no i mean like, for getting the amount of scored cards

#context.full_hand is the full hand

[faint yacht]

That's the "amount" of cards in the full hand.

context.full_hand by itself contains said cards.

[vernal path]

yes, thats what im looking for, lol

[vernal path]

im looking for the number of scored cards

i suppose i could just count them

[faint yacht]

context.scoring_hand

[vernal path]

ah

i knew it existed

[split saddle]

i really don't wanna do this, but it seems i have no choice
where do you put this? or just plop it at the end of the main.lua?

[royal ridge]

huh?

do you wanna patch it or

[split saddle]

I want a localization for k_not_allowed_ex, but it's not working (as shown earlier)

[royal ridge]

i don't know why thunk has that hackfixed but you can try patching that line to reverse it

[chrome widget]

"But Winter," you might ask, "isn't it completely unnecessary and overdesigned to make every single one of your functions hooks completely modproof in terms of arguments and returns?"

And to that I would reply, "Yes."

[split saddle]

wait that's in the SOURCE CODE?!?!?!

[royal ridge]

yes

[split saddle]

wtf man

[red flower]

if anyone adds a single new argument to a function im hooking im sending them a virus

same if they return something in a function that doest return anything

[chrome widget]

......I can see use cases for it

[split saddle]

wait so how do you fix it

[red flower]

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/state_events.lua"
pattern = '''play_area_status_text("Not Allowed!")--localize('k_not_allowed_ex'), true)'''
position = 'at'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
play_area_status_text(localize('k_not_allowed_ex'), true)
'''

that?

[royal ridge]

does that work

should patch i believe

[split saddle]

where does it go?

[royal ridge]

goes in a .toml file

[chrome widget]

FUCK IT WE BALL

[red flower]

i should probably fix that in my hooks too

[red flower]

forgot how quotes work

[royal ridge]

there's a set of single quotes too lol

[red flower]

oh damn

[royal ridge]

incredible line

[split saddle]

i don't understand :(

[red flower]

there

put this in a mod

[royal ridge]

ok i have to ask

what is the point of the version number

[red flower]

according to meth, none

[royal ridge]

a

[red flower]

but i already had it like that from copying smods

[royal ridge]

why did smods change it

[chrome widget]

it's futureproofing. It might not be necessary now but could be useful later

[split saddle]

Do I replace "Not Allowed!" in pattern with what I want instead?

wait nevermind i'm dumb

i just realized that it just replaces hard-code into a localization

[ocean sinew]

how do I make a deck that starts with a specific joker,consumable,playing card with specific edition stickers etc

[frigid cargo]

Bump

[red flower]

the for loop is outside of update

[split saddle]

I'm looking at the BUMod's hook to change the hangman text into two lines (since returning a table inside of the loc file crashes the game, unless i missed something), and it has a hook for the card's center.
All that is to say, what is the voucher's center that has the 'REDEEM' text in it?

[red flower]

like the button?

that's not in a center

[split saddle]

that's beyond the point, you get the idea.... What is the pointer to that text?

[red flower]

that's not beyond the point, it's what you asked lol
wdym pointer? the key? the ui node?

[faint yacht]

...localization entry?

[red flower]

b_redeem

[hazy mountain]

okay im a little stuck, ive been looking at refrence code, and the smods wiki but im unsure how to go about making my new tarot function which will turn all cards in hand to an enhancement like a stone card, ive got the enhancement working i just dont know where to start for creating the config stuff for it.

[red flower]

you would do the stuff in this comment but instead of G.hand.highlighted you would use G.hand.cards
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/d4c5b52b83dc705da6fdaafbf5c49a3540532b15/src/tarots.lua#L1006

[hazy mountain]

oh sweet thanks so much

[split saddle]

no, that's not it

I want to write two lines into the 'REDEEM' text (that is in b_redeem), but passing a table into it crashes my game

b_redeem = {
  "two lines",
  "of text"
}```

So, I thought of BUMod and how it does it with the Hanged Man, where it says "Hang / 'em" so I went to that as a first idea. In there, I found out that it has a hook for `G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons` using the card's `card.config.center.name/key` to interact with it within the code. Naturally, I wanted to find an equivalent to that within the voucher, and now we're here

In short: how do you put two lines of text instead of REDEEM in the voucher

[red flower]

you would patch into the code were b_redeem is used

if you want it for a certain voucher then you would need the key of that voucher but thats not relevant if you want it for all

it's in create_shop_card_ui

[dapper sun]

for some reason, moving my mouse over the edge of jokers with custom badges crashes the game??

[chrome widget]

there b some insane ui hook code im writing

[red flower]

the crash seems like it's trying to display a ui that was removed
but no idea

[frigid cargo]

Oh so where do i put it?

[red flower]

inside the update

im guessing

[dapper sun]

well here's how i'm handling badges

[red flower]

does it work if you hover over them twice normally?

as far as i can see it shouldnt

because you're creating the badge once and it's getting destroyed as soon as you close the description

[dapper sun]

?

[red flower]

you need to create the badge in set_badges

so it does it every time you hover

[dapper sun]

okay yeah it's not about "the edge" like i thought before, it's specifically on the second hover

[red flower]

yeah that makes sense

[dapper sun]

it's not the same joker either

the second time i hover any joker with a badge

wait i think i get it now lol

[red flower]

yes because they all share the badge

[dapper sun]

yeah

[red flower]

as soon as you unhover any uibox it destroys all the children

thats why you need to recreate nodes or you need to copy cards when displaying them in a UI window

[split saddle]

I seriously don't like the UI functions for this game...
Here's what I know:

• the use button of the voucher is a certain "t2" type object that contains a UI.T node with localize('b_redeem'), which is what i'm looking to hook.
• BUMod uses a different, custom UI.T for their use button. I don't know what the difference is yet, but clearly they did something to allow for line breaks.

I'm completely clueless as to what to do still, by the way

i'm trying ;-;

[red flower]

t2 is the name of the variable, not the object type

what they did is probably just add an extra row of nodes

[frigid cargo]

in the else orrrrr?

[red flower]

the buy and use button code is below that, you can check that out for two rows

[red flower]

idk

[split saddle]

here's what i'm gonna do

since i'm a Professional Programmer™, I'm going to do a pro gamer move: ctrl + c, ctrl + v

and see what happens

[atomic sandal]

help i can't check my deck suits and all that bc everytime i click on the deck i get this error

i only modified the rarity of blueprint to common so idk if i may have just missclicked something else

[split saddle]

this kinda looks like you don't have SMODS installed... have you?

[atomic sandal]

what's smods

[split saddle]

or are you modifying the game's internal code? 😰

[frigid cargo]

ok

[atomic sandal]

start here and come back

[errant arrow]

okay, i started using print to try and trouble shoot, and my joker is trying to retrigger the joker to it's right, but fails to do so.
Code below.

it's trying to retrigger 4 times, but other than it not being able to retrigger, i dont know what else there could be wrong with it

if anyone can help push me in the right direction, that would be very helpful

[atomic sandal]

alr bro theres like 5000 words to read right there and i need to install lovely, install steamodded and then idk what else follows and im not doing that only to fix not being able to see how many kings i have

[split saddle]

If you want to mod the game, you probably want to use that because it makes it orders of magnitude easier

[red flower]

i dont think anyone here is going to be able to help you with modifying the exe directly

[split saddle]

At the very least, try to install them and then maybe we could help you from there

[red flower]

especially not when the crash logs don't help in that situation

[atomic sandal]

ok imma have that done when i complete the plasma gold stake so i finally have 2 goldstakes

[split saddle]

update: it didn't work :(
i give up, this shit is too hard

[frigid cargo]

it works thanks

[atomic sandal]

bro i think i found out what went wrong let me tell you if i actually made it work

lets fricking go

i found out what went wrong

i fixed it

[tiny hemlock]

guys do you know why this keeps crashing? its the g.sound.play or its sound = "xmpl_whatevername" (fixed)

[unborn bay]

the hell is G.SOUND

[rocky plaza]

use play_sound(key, pitch, volume)

[tiny hemlock]

oh ok

like this? play_sound("xmpl_myhonorvoice", 1, 75)

or the pitch and volume are optional?

[rocky plaza]

75 is much too loud
1 is 100% volume

not optional

[tiny hemlock]

alr

[rocky plaza]

i believe

[tiny hemlock]

thanks

[maiden phoenix]

only the key isn't

[versed swan]

how do you check if something is in the pool or not?

[solemn shuttle]

is there a way to check the start of an ante?/what is the context for the start of an ante/the first selection of blinds

[solemn shuttle]

actually nvm i have an idea lol

[red flower]

you would check if the prototype has an in_pool function and it returns true

[versed swan]

and how do you get said prototype?

given a key

[red flower]

depends on the object

for most cards it's G.P_CENTERS[key]

[tiny hemlock]

now it crashes when play_sound("myhonormusic", 1, 1) lol

[rocky plaza]

do u have the mod key prefixed to ur string that u pass in?

[tiny hemlock]

like the SMODS.Sound({ key = "xmpl_myhonorvoice", path = "myhonorvoice.ogg" })

[rocky plaza]

yeah]

[tiny hemlock]

?

[versed swan]

alright, thank you

[rocky plaza]

so do play_sound("xmpl_myhonorvoice",1,1)

or just play_sound("xmpl_myhonorvoice")

if what im told about the last 2 numbers is correct

[lethal spindle]

How can I change this joker to Cryptid exotic

I already have Cryptid as a dependency

[rocky plaza]

set it to cry_exotic i think

[lethal spindle]

String or just replace 4 with cry_exotic?

[tiny hemlock]

i have xmpl_myhonorvoice and xmpl_myhonormusic

[rocky plaza]

as a string

[lethal spindle]

Thx

[solemn shuttle]

ok no i do have one thing to ask
for no reason

is there any way to detect when you ARE rerolling a boss blind, using the tag or the director's cut/retcon vouchers or otherwise

[rocky plaza]

yeah, just pass in the whole key with the mod prefix whenever u play a sound

[rocky plaza]

someone correct me if im wrong but i believe you have to hook G.FUNCS.reroll_boss()

i dont believe theres a context for rerolling boss blinds

[tiny hemlock]

so the code SHOULD not crash?

[rocky plaza]

unless theres some other issue, yeah

[solemn shuttle]

that makes enough sense at least but how woudl i go about doing that if you mind my asking

or how should i start

[rocky plaza]

any_global = 0
hook = G.FUNCS.reroll_boss
G.FUNCS.reroll_boss = function(e)
  any_global = any_global + 1
  return hook(e)
end

or something like that

i mightve messed up something tho

[solemn shuttle]

its at least smth i can try to work off of, im not the most familiar with hooks n all yet so i appreciate it lol

[rocky plaza]

oh right it needs to reset to 0 when a run starts

[tiny hemlock]

(almost) full code

[rocky plaza]

the general idea of a hook is to store the function in a global variable, then override it, do any functionality you desire and call the stored function

[rocky plaza]

are you still crashing?

[tiny hemlock]

yep... same error

[rocky plaza]

real quick can i see the sound definitions

so like where u create the SMODS.Sound(s) that u play

[rocky plaza]

if you comment out the play_sound function, does the joker work as intended?

[tiny hemlock]

like how

[daring fern]

Have you tried removing the xmpl_ from the keys?

[tiny hemlock]

it needs the prefix

[daring fern]

No, only the play_sound function does.

[daring fern]

Yes, it says only when accessing the sounds.

[rocky plaza]

oh

my god

wait

[rocky plaza]

delete xmpl from the key there

[tiny hemlock]

alright

wait wrong image

[rocky plaza]

yeah so key = "myhonorvoice"

etc

see if it works

[tiny hemlock]

    key = "myhonorvoice",
    path = "myhonorvoice.ogg"
})

SMODS.Sound({
    key = "myhonormusic",
    path = "myhonormusic.ogg"
})```

ok

[rocky plaza]

yeah

does it run

without crashing

[tiny hemlock]

Nope!

[rocky plaza]

ok try removing the prefix from the function calls

idk whats going on

[tiny hemlock]

crash

Thread error (Thread: 0x01dfa0c4cd80)

Could not open file resources/sounds/myhonorvoice.ogg. Does not exist.

wait i will do smthing

[rocky plaza]

can i see the file directory for how u store the sounds? like up to the resources folder

[tiny hemlock]

sure

[rocky plaza]

huh

[tiny hemlock]

i dont even know whats happenin

ok so the joker 1 in 2 chances of x2 mult, 1 in 2 chances of x2 chips, 1 in 8 of losing instantly

[rocky plaza]

ok, last ditch effort try adding back the mod prefix to the function calls only but remove the extra numbers

[tiny hemlock]

alr

NOOO

it crashed

[rocky plaza]

hmm i think we need the help of some outside people

i will bring in the heavy artillery of actually intelligent people

[tiny hemlock]

:0

[solemn shuttle]

so wait this would check for if a boss is getting rerolled but how would i call it/check it

-# like just if hook() or

[rocky plaza]

so when the game naturally calls this (due to a boss reroll), it will call the new function
you dont call the function urself unless u want to reroll the boss

[solemn shuttle]

so wait the hook just would change how the function is

OHHHH
hangon i think i might get what you mean

[rocky plaza]

yeah a hook changes the functionality of a function

or rather adds on to it

[solemn shuttle]

so what i should be doing is not checking if hook() but rather the variable change or smth else associated with it

[rocky plaza]

so by adding a global counter to the function i can get the number of times the boss has been rerolled

[solemn shuttle]

i see now

[rocky plaza]

real quick are u trying to do an effect whenever a boss is rerolled?

the solution i sent earlier works if ur joker scales based on boss rerolls

[daring fern]

No, it doesn't because the variable would reset when reopening the game.

[solemn shuttle]

yeah, to be precise im just having it reroll whenever the eye is encountered
i want the visual effect to be there lol
ive already got a case covered mostly, in the case of just ending the shop, but its the Reroll im checking

[rocky plaza]

any_global = 0
hook = G.FUNCS.reroll_boss
G.FUNCS.reroll_boss = function(e)
any_global = any_global + 1
return hook(e)
end
wait hold on am i misunderstanding how hooks work
oh right the global isnt saved

aaaaa

i should not be trying to help people right now my brain is fried'

[solemn shuttle]

(For context it's a reference to a creepypasta that's become an inside joke in a friend grou pim in)

[solemn shuttle]

should i hook start_run too then maybe so it DOES get reset?

[daring fern]

Also hook should be called oldgfuncsrerollboss or similar and be local.

[rocky plaza]

no u need to save it to G.GAME i believe

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[rocky plaza]

that was mostly a dummy name but i'll make sure to remember the local whenever i do hooks

[daring fern]

Then you would probably just remove it from the pool.

[rocky plaza]

yeah imma leave i cannot program to save my life rn

[solemn shuttle]

well given ive hooked the boss reroll, i just need a way to set up a global counter that can reset to 0 at the start of a run
i can probably figure out a way to detect the change easy enough

[solemn shuttle]

that's true, admittedly the rerolling every time is more of a visual thing im going for lol

[solemn shuttle]

i think i did manage to figure smth out with it so i appreciate it :>

really i just gotta figure out a proper way to detect the global var changing now but it shouldn't be THAT hard

[chrome widget]

Im genuinly strugglimng so hard to find out how to make the description box thinner

[strong bloom]

cant start game crashed after all the cards go into the light

mb wrong chjannel

[ripe thicket]

is there a way I can get a joker to directly modify the round score?

[chrome widget]

Can someone with a little more lua knowledge than me explain why exactly trying to change the third argument here doesn't work?

I get the results I want if I'm using the named arguments the function is declared with, but I want to make the hook respect other mods

[daring fern]

Modify G.GAME.chips

[chrome widget]

whelp I figured this out, weh. It's an issue that's been solved in 5.2 onward so I just have to deal

[manic rune]

quick ques, what function is run when a joker is removed?

im assuming Card:remove() but just to be sure

[daring fern]

Yes.

[inner cobalt]

wtf is this

[manic rune]

whats the cardarea for shops

i frogor

[daring fern]

G.shop_jokers, G.shop_vouchers and G.shop_booster

[unborn bay]

i feel so old that people dont know the MARIO creepypasta 💔

[manic rune]

mhm thanks

[frigid cargo]

is there a way to change the way the deck acts instead? Because i want to create a specific joker on a deck and the sleeves special feature of that deck is changing it to negative. My first thought was just to check once card is created then just negative it but i was wondering if there might be an easier way to do it?

[inner cobalt]

???

[plain ember]

Hi guys, does anybody know if there's a way to force trigger jokers, not like a retrigger but like, for example: i have perkeo on my jokers and another joker forces its activation after you discard a card, just an example

[daring fern]

Yes, but you would need to add support for it yourself.

Or just use Cryptids function, if it is installed.

[plain ember]

Honestly haven't checked (nor downloaded) criptid yet, lmao

i'll look into it

Whats the name of the card that uses that function?

[frosty rampart]

i don't think it's a card, the Hooked sticker forces one hooked joker to trigger whenever the other one triggers and vice versa (the hooked sticker can only ever be applied in pairs)

[daring fern]

Demicolon

But everything related to forcetriggering is in forcetrigger.lua

[plain ember]

Yeah, im seeing it now

honestly didn't thought it would be this complicated lol

Jesus cooking rice

[chrome widget]

Depending on whatever, even older people may not be well versed in creepypastas (myself kinda included)

[frigid cargo]

[modern kindle]

i dont know like any of them
they were just never my cup of tea

[frigid cargo]

if self.get_current_deck_key() == "b_btct_DEvil" then
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        if G.jokers then
                            SMODS.add_card{ key = "j_btct_EvilAndTwisted2006ChevySilverado", edition = { "e_negative" } }
                        end
                    end,
                }))
            else

What does this crash mean?
-# (the code is not where the crash is btw)

[daring fern]

edition should be a string, not a table.

[frigid cargo]

oh woops thanks

[unborn bay]

most of the code is related to the logic for forcetriggering vanilla jokers

so allat has to be custom

[lament agate]

a little help here?

    G.GAME.joker_buffer = G.GAME.joker_buffer - #destroyed_jokers
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            for _, joker in ipairs(destroyed_jokers) do
                joker:start_dissolve({HEX("ff0000")}, nil, 1.6)
                play_sound('slice1', 0.9 + math.random() * 0.2)
            end
            -- trying to figure out how to add all of their sell value to the joker
            card.ability.extra.mult = (card.ability.extra.mult or 0) + total_value
            card:juice_up(0.8, 0.8)
            G.GAME.joker_buffer = 0
            return true
        end
    }))
    return {
        message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = {total_value}},
        colour = G.C.RED,
        no_juice = true
    }

in theory, how would i make this so that it gains all of the joker's sell value and put it into its own sell value

[daring fern]

local total = 0
for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    total = total + v.sell_cost
end
card.ability.extra_value = (card.ability.extra_value or 0) + total

[lament agate]

where would i put this

[daring fern]

Probably replacing -- trying to figure out how to add all of their sell value to the joker

[lament agate]

letting the extra mult ability?

@manic rune he did answer

here's the thing tho

it just

doubles the player's money

[manic rune]

how

[lament agate]

let me record it

@manic rune @daring fern

[daring fern]

Show the entire joker code.

[lament agate]

its a hook, ill show that instead?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

hold

[daring fern]

Yes, you're setting the button to be use_card

[lament agate]

shoot

what do i do then

[daring fern]

You set it to a G.FUNCS function that runs your use_joker function.

[lament agate]

oh

right

so i just

change it to use_joker?

[daring fern]

No, because that is not a G.FUNCS function.

[umbral zodiac]

is there an easy way to find what card area i should use based on just the set name of a center

in order to support other mods content easily

[daring fern]

No.

[umbral zodiac]

rip

[wintry solar]

In what sense?

[frigid cargo]

Bump

[daring heron]

Wait how does someone even make misprint-like text

[lament agate]

can you detect how much cards the player bought?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L641

[daring fern]

No, you have to count it yourself I think.

[trail tide]

Do I need to manually put game seed into pseudorandom()? If yes, how do I access it?

[daring fern]

No, you just put a string.

[lament agate]

got it

[glass scaffold]

Will pseudorandom_element(G.P_CARDS, pseudoseed('colr_green')) work in 0711a or does it also need to be converted somehow?

[maiden phoenix]

No pseudorandom_element is used to fetch something random inside a table so it's fine

[glass scaffold]

Thanks

[lament agate]

hey, quick refresher

what does math.floor do again

[cursive gazelle]

Rounds numbers

[maiden phoenix]

turns 4.9 into 4

[lament agate]

got it

thanks

im trying to fix this one joker

it goes into negative mult whenever the game crashes

[cursive gazelle]

What’s the issue

[lament agate]

that

[cursive gazelle]

Can i see the code

[cursive gazelle]

Use abs

[lament agate]

there

[cursive gazelle]

I’m on phone, can you screenshot?

[lament agate]

oh

hold

there

[cursive gazelle]

Can you use

Math.abs()

[trail tide]

Huh? It doesn't even say where it went wrong in my code

[daring fern]

Code?

[trail tide]

I tried removing card_eval_status_check and the G.E_MANAGER:add_event things to check where the problem is, but problem was still here

[lament agate]

in where

[cursive gazelle]

Nevermind

The issue is from the timer
