[lament agate]

yeah exactly

what do i do

[cursive gazelle]

local elapsed = math.max(0, raw_elapsed)```

Try this

In your update

I think your raw_elapsed might be negative that’s why i used math.max here , maybe try math.abs() aswell

[lament agate]

oh alright

[cursive gazelle]

Love.timer.getTime() may reset everytime you enter the game so you either save the value in your config or do math.abs

[lament agate]

where do i put the math.abs

[cursive gazelle]

Instead math.max

But try both

[lament agate]

got ot

[cursive gazelle]

Idk how love handles time variables

[lament agate]

not alot of people in here mess with that tbf

do i need to mess with something else?

[cursive gazelle]

No they’re okay

[thorn basin]

what do you guys usually use when making sound effects for editions?

[cursive gazelle]

Software?

The best and “payed” is fl studio
Good alternative is lmms

[thorn basin]

sadly me no money

🫠

[cursive gazelle]

Lmms is free

[thorn basin]

aight

[cursive gazelle]

Fl studio is 300$

I’m better off pirating it

[lament agate]

try ths

[thorn basin]

ths?

thanks btw @cursive gazelle

[cursive gazelle]

No problem

[thorn basin]

(yeah no, i better use lmms since I have a some experience from it)

[cursive gazelle]

(Music softwares gives you the feeling of driving a jet)

So many stuff thrown at you

[thorn basin]

yup

[cursive gazelle]

Good luck tho

[thorn basin]

thx

[manic rune]

how do you update the blind score hud again

i forgot

[lament agate]

G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)

[lament agate]

^

i suppose

[manic rune]

o is that all

thanks

[rare phoenix]

how would i make a joker that plays a video after it's effect

[manic rune]

look into how yahimod did it

[rare phoenix]

i tried that

it makes me want to explode

[vast night]

Hi everyone. I have a small problem. Im trying to detect when the current hand would beat the blind, so i have a context.before that sets a variable to the current score and a context.after that checks if the current score - old score is >= the blind requirement. i feel like this is a little unconventional so feel free to correct. me. the main problem is that the context.after triggers before scoring for some reason. can someone help me?

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        elseif context.before and not context.blueprint then
            print('before')
            card.ability.extra.old_chips = to_number(G.GAME.chips)
        elseif context.after and context.main_eval 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

[trail tide]

I found the problem

[rotund sable]

Don't you need to recalculate it too?

[manic rune]

u dont

i was under that impression too but luckily it works without needing it

[thorn basin]

....huh??

it says that the sound effect doesn't exist meanwhile there's the sound effect in the sounds file

[latent perch]

Could be this? G.GAME.chips is incremented in an Ease Event, not instantly, I think.

Maybe try comparing to G.GAME.current_round.current_hand.chip_total instead

[cursive gazelle]

Are you sure that’s the supported format

[rotund sable]

Isn't ogg the preferred type?

[thorn basin]

yeah, my bad, i just forgot to put the modprefix in the sound command in the SMODS.edition

[latent perch]

to_number(G.GAME.current_round.current_hand.chip_total) >= to_number(G.GAME.blind.chips)

[cursive gazelle]

That’s what i was gonna point

[thorn basin]

😅

[solemn shuttle]

the image is from the MARIO Creepypasta
(TL;DR spooky SMW romhack)

the in-joke regarding it is more related to a friendgroup (x2download2 is the file name for a sound effect we associate with it for one, and the eyeballs unable to be found line is a common quotable when it’s referenced)

there’s more to it but that’s the gist

[manic rune]

🤔 do you need to_number though

since talisman already got functions to compare big nums i think

[unborn bay]

uh no

its either wrap all around to_big

or wrap around to_number

or hope that the player is using luajit2

[red flower]

what bepis is saying is that if both are bignums already you don't need it

[unborn bay]

-# still better to be safe than attempt to compare table with number

[red flower]

yeah

[pulsar gull]

is there a context in smods that triggers after each joker individually scores?

context.other_joker triggers before they score appearently

[red flower]

context.post_trigger
it requires enabling an optional feature

[pulsar gull]

optional feature?

how do i do it

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[manic rune]

i meant this

[red flower]

can we delete talisman

[manic rune]

i agree

[thorn basin]

I made a ui code that should reveal the next drawn 5 cards but they all reveal the first next one, how can I fix this?

[pulsar gull]

this helped a lot tysm

[maiden phoenix]

Can you show all the code

It's cut off on the right

[thorn basin]

it's, literally like this:

[maiden phoenix]

You're always fetching the last card

[thorn basin]

so what can I do to fetch the other next ones?

[maiden phoenix]

Replace each G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards] by the correct number

[thorn basin]

so it would be G.deck.cards[1] and the next one same but with 2?

[maiden phoenix]

yes

[thorn basin]

aight

[red flower]

no

you need to subtract from the total

[thorn basin]

oh

[red flower]

the deck goes in reverse order

[maiden phoenix]

oh oop

[thorn basin]

so G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards - 1]?

[red flower]

yeah

[thorn basin]

aight

[red flower]

you would start at - 0

[thorn basin]

thx you both for the help!

[maiden phoenix]

Can you call incorrect info help? 😅

[thorn basin]

well, you still tried and that's what matters!

[ancient aurora]

Hey!
I've been trying to create a joker that copies a random rare joker at the start of the round (and reverts back at the end of the round).
Using set_ability seems to change it to a rare joker permanently, so that isn't helpful. I was thinking of perhaps changing all the center elements (loc_txt, atlas) but seemingly base rare jokers don't store them directly in the center. Any suggestions on how I could implement this joker?

[maiden phoenix]

You could put a value into the new card like card.ability.turned_rare and hook calculate to add a check if a card has said value and turn it back into the original

[ancient aurora]

I've tried a similar approach to that, but seemingly if I use set_ability or change the joker's center in card.config.center with the a random rare card's center, the original joker's calculate function gets overriden as well

[maiden phoenix]

Not in the joker's calculate itself, do you know what a hook is?

[ancient aurora]

Unfortunately no I don't think I'm familiar with that sorry. I'm fairly new to these mods still - sorry

[bold sleet]

Hello good people. Does anyone know how to change the chance of rarities appearing in the shop and wherever?

[maiden phoenix]

https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/

Basically you want to do what's in it for the calculate_joker function

Soon this won't be necessary cuz N added a pr for mod calculate so pog

[ancient aurora]

This sounds useful, thank you!

[maiden phoenix]

It's G.GAME[tostring(v.key):lower().."_mod"]

[frigid cargo]

Bump

[crisp coral]

if it's only one specific joker why don't you put that on the joker

[ancient aurora]

Thank you so much for this suggestion, it works now! Such a good feeling when you make something and it works haha

[maiden phoenix]

Nice, yw

[frigid cargo]

Cause the sleeve that im tryna make is if the deck is its counterpart then i turn the joker that the deck creates becomes a negative

[maiden phoenix]

I'm pretty sure you can do G.jokers.cards[1]:set_edition("e_negative") since sleeve effect are applied after the deck

[manic rune]

2 questions

1. how do i check if a card is in collection
2. how do i check if the player is in a run

[maiden phoenix]

1. Check its area in card.area
2. Maybe check G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN ?

[manic rune]

🤔 i thought cards are flagged when they are created in the collection

[red flower]

i dont think they are

[manic rune]

bleh

is the cardarea G.collection

or smt

actually, i should just print G.I.CARDAREA and check that for myself probably

[red flower]

no, i think they just don't have an area

[manic rune]

wuh

really?

hm

[red flower]

the other day someone tested and card.area in the collection is nil

the area should be G.your_collection[i]

[manic rune]

will this work then (doesnt run when you are not in a run, and when the card is spawned in collection)

[red flower]

yeah

[manic rune]

mmmmm

lemme do a quick round of testing rq, thank

[red flower]

i think it's better that way because cards can be in other places

for like mod menus and stuff

[manic rune]

mhm

alright it should work now, thanks

[frigid cargo]

Ah i see thanks

[vague crest]

i assume theres probably a lot of answers for this but i know that theres some sort of pool a lot of mods use for "food jokers" in the context of jokers that give random food jokers for example

is there a simple way to add my jokers into that pool?

[vast night]

i think mods hardcode that. there is no builtin way for mods to define a joker as food

[red flower]

you can do pools = { Food = true } but you need to either add the pool yourself or only load it when cryptid is installed or something

[unkempt thicket]

Vanilla food jokers should be in that pool naturally as a part of smods.

[manic rune]

question, what does this mean

[fresh jungle]

So, drag is true, and its center pinching kids

[manic rune]

😭

[chrome widget]

The pinch behavior on the sprite basically basically eases the width of the sprite towards 0

And I believe setting drag to the prevents it from being dragged by normal means?

[manic rune]

ahh icic

whats self.T.r then?

[manic rune]

i actually thought that was for this

[normal crest]

that'd be self.states.drag.can I think

is probably just makes it appear bigger for a frame, as if it was being dragged, but dunno

[manic rune]

im trying to figure out a way to "prevent" popcorn and other food jokers from being destroyed by its own effect
-# by making a copy of itself

[normal crest]

i think you can prevent it by setting context.blueprint

[manic rune]

wuh

[normal crest]

Cus all of them have not context.blueprint on their destroy condition

[manic rune]

oh shit you are right

srockw you rock

i was tryna do all this 😭

[modern kindle]

Yea you can just set context blueprint
I do that as well

[manic rune]

why is this running infinitely

hm

[chrome widget]

Rotation of the sprite in radians I believe

[manic rune]

mm

[chrome widget]

That said I know how to do this. Honestly the simplest way is to just use a blueprint effect instead

[manic rune]

🤔 how

im trying to figure out how to filter out jokers with those effects specifically

[chrome widget]

Food jokers are all intentionally written to avoid their own destruction behavior when called with blueprint, so that's the simplest way. You can also do whatever weird metatable bullshit to prevent value scaling (which I've done before)

[cursive gazelle]

The game does that with stickers

Similar

At least

[manic rune]

i think i might be dumb, i cant figure out what you mean by the former, like i understand i should use SMODS.blueprint_effect but idk how

[rocky plaza]

any idea why this could be the case?

[cursive gazelle]

Make the transmutable effect a global variable

That’s how i do it with my flip mechanic

[cursive gazelle]

Try printing before to see if it enters the if statement or no

[normal crest]

What is your sticker definition

[chrome widget]

It depends on where the prevention effect comes from

[rocky plaza]

hold on

so this is with the code i sent earlier

gonna record again with card.ability.mul_transmutable = true commented out

[normal crest]

Try passing true as the 2nd parameter to add_sticker

[manic rune]

im currently relying on hooks idk

[rocky plaza]

huh. that worked

[chrome widget]

No but I mean. What game mechanic causes it

A joker? A deck? A challenge?

[manic rune]

literal hooks, theres no objects or anything handling it

my mod adds extra effects to the jokers, and im using hooks to run calculate on them

[chrome widget]

Okay so it's for the sake of calculation. You're trying to add a context to prevent food joker destruction?

[manic rune]

that could work, yeah

[chrome widget]

Unfortunately, food jokers aren't, as a whole grouped in the vanilla game. Basically, the best option IMO is create a list of the jokers who you want to prevent decay/destruction effects on for the vanilla jokers, extending the Cryptid model for it, because for mod compatibility other mods are likely to also have added to that same list that cryptid uses. Then, in a hook/patch for Card: calculate_joker, check if the card center being calculated is one of those valid food jokers, and if it doesn't have context.blueprint I contexts added to them, set context.blueprint_card to be that card itself, and set context.blueprint to 1, and then reset those values along with the function's return

[olive meadow]

Hello, I hope I am not interrupting a chain of thought. I am new to modding/lua in general and was wondering if anyone knew of a good guide/tutorial? I am currently looking to just do a test mod where upon certain game actions (play hand) I write the game state to a file (currently planning on json) and then read that into python. Thanks!

[chrome widget]

Essentially, you're going to be telling the card to calculate as if it's copying itself

[manic rune]

aw so i gotta hard-code it, basically

[chrome widget]

The only way to not hard code it doesnt necessarily respect non-food jokers in addition and also requires metatable magic

Which is basically the prevent_scale context I have in an open SMODS pr

[normal crest]

Make a list of vanilla food jokers, and for the rest just do if self.config.center.pools and self.config.center.pools.Food and trust other modders to add the pool to their food jokers

[chrome widget]

Which does blanket prevent food jokers from decaying, but also would prevent any modded items that need to decrement values as well

[chrome widget]

Yep

[wintry solar]

Is this the janky scaling PR? I forget 😂

[chrome widget]

Fortunately you can rely on the fact that everyone is painfully reliant on Cryptid compatibility, as much as I dislike it

[chrome widget]

HEY DONT CALL MY AWFUL SON WITH EVERY DISEASE JANK

[manic rune]

mm i see

i think eremel has the same opinion with all of my pr anyways lol

[normal crest]

Food pool isn't really cryptid compatibility at this point

Many people do stuff with food jokers

[chrome widget]

It's honestly a mistake on the vanilla game's part to not have given them some grouping in code

[manic rune]

im tryna get this passive to work btw

:3

-# thought it would be cool to show idk

[red flower]

they should have used a function to get eaten instead of copy pasting the code on each at least

[chrome widget]

Yeah lol

[normal crest]

Yummy

[manic rune]

agreed, maybe we could start a campaign to make thunk do that.....

[chrome widget]

If they had a shared function you could easily do this exact effect

[red flower]

i dont think that would be bad for smods tbh

[chrome widget]

Hmmmm strokes chin

[manic rune]

yeah, i dont think anyones been patching into that stuff too

so not much patch fuck up either

[chrome widget]

Want me to just import the Food pool and do all that in a PR?

[manic rune]

yes please

[chrome widget]

Idk if that's considered too unvanilla for SMODS

[wintry solar]

I don’t think they need a specific function to be removed

[manic rune]

but the fact that they are using self = nil AFTER self:remove() is so annoyingdsalfdsfkd

[normal crest]

Can we make it so that if a Joker has a pool in its center and that pool doesn't exist, the pool is created. Or would that cause issues

[wintry solar]

Though I haven’t looked at the code

[manic rune]

adding a prevention in :remove() doesnt help when the card is just nil afterwards

sob

[normal crest]

Store a reference to the card before they do that

[final jewel]

Guys I want to have an extra choice in a specific type of pack but I don't understand how to make it directly in the voucher. Like I know I could write some line in the pack that check if you have the voucher but I was wondering If it was possible to not do this ?

[wintry solar]

Setting self to nil seems wonky though, classic thunk code 😂

[manic rune]

EXACTLY

sob

[manic rune]

i though about that too but no clue what to do afterwards

my idea was to, uh, run calculate_joker on those vanilla jokers and see if they return messages like k_eaten_ex, k_extinct_ex

:3 its a bad approach i know but im desperate

[manic rune]

LIKE, if i were to create a copy of the joker and run that first, then that means i should know if the joker will destroy itself with the same context, right??

so i just add in context.blueprint, boom

;3

[stiff quiver]

what are the odds of a joker being rental?

[final jewel]

I check some other mod that have a similar feature but only ortalab have this and the code is kinda weird since I don't find the 'definition' of the line

[red flower]

30%

i think

[manic rune]

ughhhhhhh guess im just gonna, do what cryptid is doing then

:<

[stiff quiver]

its what i thought too, wanted to be sure, thanks N' !

[chrome widget]

Sometimes you must combat jank with jank

[manic rune]

no but it works well see..........

[chrome widget]

But yeah the more comprehensive option I created basically created an empty proxy ability table for every card in the game to which it's valid, saves their original tables for reference, and then has meta methods that run every time a value is changed or set on the ability table

[manic rune]

this also means my OTHER destruction prevention code doesnt work for food jokers, bleh

[manic rune]

oh is this the scaling one

[chrome widget]

So it intercepts the value assignments and sends some contexts for jokers to respond to to modify them

[manic rune]

im doing this for my own scaling effect :3

[chrome widget]

It's an extension of a boss blind effect I created for my own mod that prevents scaling, which also has the consequence of preventing food joker degredstion

[manic rune]

it doesnt use metatables though shrug

[chrome widget]

The metatable method is a little heavier but more elegant overall I would say

[wintry solar]

Does it also prevent counters from changing?

[chrome widget]

You can whitelist any keys you need, and it provides a set of them already

I.E. like invisible rounds

The more jank thing is blanket preventing UI messages after scaling has been prevented which is far more obtuse

Which it does do, and I think I found a decent solution, but sheeeeesh

[wintry solar]

Yeah I think that’s my issue with anything like this for something so simple as changing internal values, it just becomes another talisman esque coding problem

[manic rune]

what the hell happened in cryptid

also i think scaling modification shouldnt really be a part of smods due to how jank/annoying it can be to manage

-# and we literally had a discussion over this a few hours ago in modding-chat lol

[modern kindle]

i feel like this is a state of being in cryptid

[chrome widget]

It's why I made it optional lmao

[modern kindle]

hi winterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[chrome widget]

Hi dillyyyyyy

[broken rivet]

should i use SMODS.ObjectType for something like this or make an entirely new class and lovely edit smods

[modern kindle]

how are you my liege

[red flower]

a new class makes more sense but you dont need to lovely patch smods to do it

you can extend the smods objects

[chrome widget]

Either way even if the validity for SMODS is questionable, it's a requested enough feature due to scaling being a primary game mechanic that I'd like for people to be able to use it

And the more centralized it is, the less conflicts there are

[red flower]

hi dilly

[broken rivet]

ah

[modern kindle]

we have optional features as is, i dont personally see the harm in it existing as that feature

[modern kindle]

hi bestie westie

[broken rivet]

i was thinking lovely edits just to ensure other mods could use the class since my mod loads pretty late

[manic rune]

is this it

:3

[red flower]

just make your mod load earlier

or make another api mod

[manic rune]

ugh but the thing is that how do i detect if the joker IS destroying itself though

since theres a counter thats supposed to decrease when that happens

sob

-# i still think the checking message one is goated asf

[normal crest]

It really would be nice to have a function responsible for eating jokers that you could just hook

[red flower]

thats what i said!

[normal crest]

I'm just agreeing with you, a bit late

[manic rune]

im agreeing with you later than rock

[red flower]

also it would be more user friendly if people want to make their own food jokers

[manic rune]

i think i might just, add (Doesn't work when most Joker foods are destroyed by their own effect)

sob

[red flower]

i would just say eaten

[manic rune]

yeah but then theres cavendish

and gros michel

which use Expired instead

[normal crest]

They expired in your stomach

[manic rune]

wtf......

[normal crest]

Isn't it extinct tho

[manic rune]

or extinct, yeah

still not eaten though :3

[chrome widget]

Honestly I didn't expect through my modding endeavor that I'd somehow become one of the most knowledgeable people in this server when it comes to Balatro modding. Which probably sounds egotistical but honestly I'm surprised how much I now know off the top of my head to solving common problems

[manic rune]

so this probably covers everything better

[normal crest]

They go extinct cus you ate them

[red flower]

i have eaten all the bananas

[manic rune]

yeah im just gonna add it

ugh

i THOUGHT i was onto something

[red flower]

youre very smart

[manic rune]

recycling food jokers is a nice effect too.........

[chrome widget]

Objectively most of it is

[manic rune]

sadly it gotta be done manually and not automatically

[chrome widget]

This is basically my job rn

[manic rune]

this is true

[candid prism]

you know the mods a bad idea when the rarit lua will be larger than the whole rest of the mod

[normal crest]

We're the ones who stuck around after learning to make mods

[manic rune]

rarit lua

[chrome widget]

Basically this shit is going right on my resume once it's done

[red flower]

the last of us

[broken rivet]

i guess yea
though i do have some take_ownership calls that could get messy with that

[red flower]

i hate take_ownership

[chrome widget]

Main developer of multiple major Balatro mods, coordinated deployment and Q/A testing, that kinda shebang

[manic rune]

also do you guys think stacked is fun to play with :3
aka #1400835837960126474

[limber blaze]

the only real way to detect food joker self destruction rn is hooks into card:remove which get messy really fast

since

[broken rivet]

i guess i could only do mod compat code after all mods are loaded

[modern kindle]

youre going on my resume when ur done

[chrome widget]

Somehow it's gonna end up being more relevant experience than my past job 😭

[limber blaze]

card:remove is called "often"

and also

theres no way to determine if its being removed from self destruction

i was attempting to prevent self destruction once

its very janky

[manic rune]

i can def see why since ive been working on it for 1-2 hours now

sob

[chrome widget]

What to do when I get home....... work on stupid deck credit jank

[red flower]

after i finish work i will open aseprite and if i dont feel like dying after 30 minuts i might make a new mod

[chrome widget]

I've managed to pretty much arrange the styling for the boxes in a way that I like, but I'm also gonna have to carry this other into other screens like the view deck UI, and some form of hover behavior on the deck in main gameplay

[manic rune]

.

hm

wait hold on

i might be onto something

[chrome widget]

But ughhhhh the deck selection UI is weirddddddddddd. It makes everything objects at lower levels to be handled by replacing the UIBoxes with the deck name and description individually rather than just recreating the whole panel

Which idk maybe it's cheaper but it being so fragmented sucks to mod

And ultimately no one's going to appreciate the various UI work that went into the mod because it's for really small unintrusive visuals

Like NO that caused me actual physical pain

[modern kindle]

i will appreciate it

[modern kindle]

make my mod instead

[red flower]

does your mod have anime

[chrome widget]

Make my mods boy

[manic rune]

N' can you work on bsr....

[red flower]

does bsr have firefly

[manic rune]

in next update

aka break update

[red flower]

i love breaking

[manic rune]

same

[red flower]

i need to try out firefly e2

[manic rune]

my idea for the break mechanic is to

attack a card so hard it fucking debuffs itself for the whole ante

:3

[red flower]

lets goo

[manic rune]

but in exchange it gives you significantly more buffs compared to normal attacks though

[hybrid shadow]

crazy idea but changing the calculate functions of objects should be smth that can be done through code like

function "[objprefix]_[modprefix]_[obj]" calculate =
[etc code]```

[manic rune]

so maybe that makes up for the fact that thinning your deck too much wll potentially cost your run

[normal crest]

you can change it by doing G.P_CENTERS.objprefix_modprefix_key.calculate = something assuming it's an smods object
but this is what take_ownership is for

[red flower]

local j_modprefix_key = SMODS.Joker{key = "key"}
j_modprefix_key.calculate = function() end

[hybrid shadow]

isnt take_ownership able to be overrode by other mods that load after

[modern kindle]

i suppose int eh way that everything is anime

[red flower]

yeah but this would be the same

[chrome widget]

My mod has anime because JoJo

[manic rune]

winter's mod has by far the BEST shader ive ever seen imo

[chrome widget]

I am nothing if not a tgirl programmer weeb stereotype

[manic rune]

still unchanged till now

:3

[chrome widget]

Wait which one

[modern kindle]

i have not seen winters shader

[manic rune]

the stand fire one

its so fucking sick

[chrome widget]

Oh yeah that one

[normal crest]

aren't we all

[manic rune]

and ive legit never seen a better shader till now

HOW IS IT SO BUTTERY SMOOTH THOUGH 😭

[modern kindle]

where can i see it

[manic rune]

no clue, she sent that a while ago

[chrome widget]

Lemme see if I have a video somewhere

[manic rune]

this one?

oh yeah it is

[red flower]

oh yeah i really like that one

[modern kindle]

yea that is neat

[manic rune]

hm

[modern kindle]

i need to make some form of a neat shader for my boss card at some point

[manic rune]

i think i can figure out how to detect when a food joker is destroyed

hmmmm

[chrome widget]

Yeah I didn't have any video saved on my phone

[modern kindle]

i will save you on my phone in order to make up for it

[ocean sinew]

W

[final jewel]

Why that isn't working

[ocean sinew]

when is this releasing

[chrome widget]

In the current version auras aren't on automatically, instead they "flare" whenever they do return effects and such, with the exception of Tohth and Epitaph, which do it on hover because their deck prediction effects are passive

[manic rune]

- copy_card(card)
- add something to the clone to refer to the original card
- run calculate on the clone
- add context.blueprint... to the original card first to prevent it from being killed, let the original card calculate normally
- if Card:remove() runs and its the cloned card, do something with the original card <- aka self-destruction prevented!!!

is this good??

[chrome widget]

And they play when you hover over them in the collection

[manic rune]

v.config.center.key i think

🤔

-# i wonder if vouchers' keys are stored like that too or its inconsistent

[final jewel]

Ok I'll try to see

[manic rune]

no wait, hm

no i still need to duplicate the card since the calculate function of vanilla jokers arent stored in G.P_CENTERS, fuck

[chrome widget]

Still can't find a video of the actual current collection behavior lol, they no longer all play at once

But the Killer Queen: Bites the Dust one is a good example of the aura flares on actual card effect

[manic rune]

when you played the hand i was thinking "what if kqbtd reverted the order of the scoring at the end"

cant believe its actually the effect

sob

[chrome widget]

Yeah!!!!!!! I'm actually 90% sure it was Eremel who wrote that? At least according to the Cardsauce credits

[manic rune]

ooh

[chrome widget]

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = "codercredit", set = "Other", vars = { G.csau_team.eremel } }
yeah it has a coder credit

Regardless I was a late addition to Cardsauce so all the canon Stands I've worked on have mostly been bugfixing and visual effects. However, I've made nearly all the Stands for my own mod

[final jewel]

Doesn't really work too But I'm wondering can we place a calculate in a booster

[chrome widget]

Also like...... Soon ish. Though all those canon Stands are already in Cardsauce as of 2.0, https://github.com/BarrierTrio/Cardsauce

[ocean sinew]

this mod is fire

[manic rune]

...why would a booster have calculate lmfao

[ocean sinew]

as a fan of Jojo you did a very good job

I liked the sprites a lot

[manic rune]

im a fan of jojo too, and i can confirm

[chrome widget]

None of the spritework on Cardsauce is me, you can thank the massive list of Cardsauce contributor artists

I've made some sparse bits of art for my own mod tho

[final jewel]

I want it to check if a specific voucher is redeem like I don't know how to make the voucher work and Normaly I place loop that check if a certain object is here in calculate but where should I place the loop instead

[manic rune]

why is it still creating itself infinitely here

does the flag not work?

[chrome widget]

Out of curiosity, put it in the ability table, set it on self before being copied, and then unset it on the original after the copy

[ocean sinew]

cuz when a card is copied it automatically gets calculated too

you would want to check for a variable and then set it to false later

oh wait you set the variable

then idk 💀

[chrome widget]

That said I'm not 100% sure you need to be creating a copy here

Which would circumvent this entirely

[manic rune]

this is what im doing

:3

[chrome widget]

No yeah I'm just confused based on the effect why you need to run both calculated rather than running it on the original one with the blueprint context preventing its destruction

[manic rune]

ugh scrap that, even if it works, the clone's calculate can still mess with the game anyways

[manic rune]

i want to check if the original card has successfully prevented its destruction

so that i can drop the counter of the destruction prevention effect by one

[chrome widget]

Ah I see

[manic rune]

so the clone is supposed to help with that

but the clone's calculate can mess with the game, so

im just gonna scrap it and give up, this doesnt seem possible

sob

[chrome widget]

The clone's calculate doesn't need to mess with the game, I think you can effectively prevent that

[manic rune]

really? what if in the calculate they are doing stuff that changes the game's values though

[chrome widget]

I mean yeah technically not wrong

[manic rune]

istg balatro is the ONLY game that even experienced coders like you can have difficulties figuring out when food is being eaten 🥀

[red flower]

i only eat pizza thats the problem

[manic rune]

fair

[ocean sinew]

that's why my lib will have object_types and joker_types

which u can just add

and check with :IsJokerType(<type>) or :IsConsumableType(<type>)

it already done

[red flower]

i hate pascal case

[solemn shuttle]

what are the args for play_sound again
ik it starts with play_sound(pitch, vol,
but is there more or

[chrome widget]

sound, percentage, vol

[ocean sinew]

but I want to add the edit card thingy before which u can activate using SMODS.optional_features.edit_cards = true

[solemn shuttle]

hm, i see
-# i ask because a joker's sound was playing early for me when it was scoring during joker_main so i gotta tinker lol

[ocean sinew]

then people will be able to edit card atlas values name key rarity etc in-game with edit button

[red flower]

are you doing it in an event

[solemn shuttle]

i wasnt but i think that's what i need to be doing

[red flower]

yeah

[solemn shuttle]

yeah that was a quick fix, joy

[fallow breach]

how would i check for rerolling the boss blind?

i tried context.reroll_boss and i'm pretty sure that doesn't work

[rocky plaza]

theres not a context for rerolling boss blinds

[fallow breach]

😔

[red flower]

hook G.FUNCS.reroll_boss

[fallow breach]

forgive me i'm new to lua what does hooking mean

[red flower]

https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/

[solemn shuttle]

-# it took a while to figure out myself because i had the EXACT same question as you last night but
tl;dr it's a way of adjusting the function so it does something else for you
therefore you could have it trigger smth you could check when you reroll

-# tho in my case i just settled for banning the blind LMAO

[red flower]

local reroll_boss_ref = G.FUNCS.reroll_boss
G.FUNCS.reroll_boss = function(e) 
  reroll_boss_ref(e)
  SMODS.calculate_context{modprefix_reroll = true}
end

and then you can use context.modprefix_reroll

(replace modprefix with your mods prefix)

[modern kindle]

thinkin about N rn

[red flower]

thinkin about N rn

[manic rune]

mmmm

i think i got the self destruction prevention working

[normal crest]

how'd you do it

[ocean sinew]

It's just having a reference of the original function then setting the function to a new one and calling the original one

[manic rune]

basically create a clone lmfao

[fallow breach]

thanks guys

[normal crest]

let's say it's popcorn

won't it copy the +0 mult

and immediately die

[solemn shuttle]

oh calculating it with context is a LOT easier than the nonsense i had set up, i may take a page from this 😭

[manic rune]

nop

[modern kindle]

wrong it copied all the 0 mult and destroyed 2 other cards

[manic rune]

i mean, probably, but my effect resets the ability value of popcorn first lol

[normal crest]

i shee

[red flower]

making your own contexts is very nice

[modern kindle]

woah its srock hi srock

[normal crest]

hello

[modern kindle]

how are you doing buddy pal

[normal crest]

so it doesn't only prevent destruction from itself

[manic rune]

is it bad for me to feel proud of this

[ocean sinew]

50% yes 50% no

[modern kindle]

i want to be a contrarian

[normal crest]

i'm oki

[modern kindle]

im always proud of bepis but everyone else already said no so i have to say yes

[modern kindle]

im glad to hear

[ocean sinew]

I'll be the middle

I'll say no and yes

[normal crest]

that's how you get your vote invalidated

[manic rune]

but to be honest some food are meant to be destroyed immediately anyways, like

what are you gonna do with a +0 mult popcorn...

[modern kindle]

look at it

also depends, if its a negative +0 popcorn i still like it

its negative

[olive meadow]

Is there documentation anywhere on all the hooks in the game?

[modern kindle]

or if its another edition i have

which reminds me i need to work on the edition im doing rn to not make it a hook

[manic rune]

. oh

[red flower]

hooking is a lua feature not a balatro or smods feature

[normal crest]

you can hook any function, and there isn't documentation for every function in the game no

[manic rune]

guess what

it does, actually

[olive meadow]

Ah understood, thanks

[manic rune]

it just created a popcorn with +0 mult

lmao

[ocean sinew]

can it go below 0 mult?

[normal crest]

but didn't you just say you changed the values before copying

[modern kindle]

negative mult my beloved

[manic rune]

thats another effect

i have 2 destruction prevention effects

one is "prevent destruction", the other also resets the ability table (food synergies)

[modern kindle]

what happens if its paired with my fridge

[manic rune]

shrug

[modern kindle]

lmao

that doubles the values for 5 rounds

[manic rune]

i will record this rq, one sec

[normal crest]

should probably have like, incompatible jokers with certain effects

better api

[red flower]

better bepis

[normal crest]

thats rude

[modern kindle]

what can be better than bepis

[manic rune]

everything

[red flower]

if bepis is so good where's bepis 2

[manic rune]

https://gyazo.com/c371a3c35219e3f2ceac7e8e55b30640

here it is

[red flower]

actually bepisfever sounds like a sequel

[manic rune]

.

[normal crest]

N is asking when are you going to have children

[manic rune]

there we go

[red flower]

the animation is funny

[normal crest]

it got eaten twice

delicious

[manic rune]

both of the jokers got eaten

sob

you can see that the first one didnt reset its values, while the second one reseted though

:3

[red flower]

thats cool

[normal crest]

oh i see

weird that the eaten message shows twice on the left joker

[manic rune]

yeah

but hey it works, im NOT complaining considering how yanky this is

sob

[normal crest]

i am complaining

mwahahha

[manic rune]

i should check if this has any side-effects with turtle bean

[modern kindle]

turtlebean my detested

[manic rune]

man i love seeing useless(?) passives on jokers lol

[ocean sinew]

make so it works for calc_dollar_bonus too

[modern kindle]

thats 4 more dollars

[austere schooner]

yeah logically that should just give you the money twice

[azure laurel]

hey, sorry if im interrupting a conversation but i need help to code a joker, its like misprint but givin you random amount of money instead of mult, i tried ti use the smods recreation from the smods vanilla remade repository but i dont understand how works the misprint randomness, i will apricciate any help given

[manic rune]

it doesnt

which MEANS

EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY

OH MY FUCKING GOD

[red flower]

lets goooo

[vestal magnet]

what is that mod
is it unfinished

[manic rune]

#1400835837960126474

adds random extra effects on jokers

i fucking thought self-destruction prevention was basically impossible

[ocean sinew]

local mult = math.floor(min + pseudorandom() * (max - min))

[manic rune]

cant believe i clutched

ghhhhhhhh

[red flower]

pseudorandom('vremade_misprint', card.ability.extra.min, card.ability.extra.max) is what does the randomness
the first parameter is the random seed, the second and third are the min and max numbers

[red flower]

dont use math.random

[ocean sinew]

oh yeah

I forgot

[chrome widget]

Alright heading home from bowling, time to mod

[azure laurel]

how i transform that into money?

[red flower]

did you have fun

[chrome widget]

Lane conditions were rough

[red flower]

when do you want to give money, during scoring or at end of round?

[azure laurel]

to be more easy, during scoring

[manic rune]

winter i got the destruction shit to work

[modern kindle]

one day we will get the 240..

[wintry solar]

winter do you have your own ball?

[chrome widget]

I saw!!!!!

[chrome widget]

Multiple

[wintry solar]

do they have cool designs

[red flower]

then you can just copy the calculate function and replace mult for dollars (and the seed string for something unique)

[manic rune]

i want to see

[chrome widget]

Technically I currently own eight but at least four of them are nearly a decade old

[manic rune]

oh wow

-# can i see them all :3

im actually curious

[chrome widget]

So I'm probs gonna trash or donate them. Their surfaces aren't super good anymore

[manic rune]

in vietnam bowling is like, SUPER uncommon

ive legit never seen a vietnamese talk about bowling in my life

[red flower]

oh yeah here bowling is practically not a thing

[manic rune]

same

[chrome widget]

Also yeah it varies by country. Japan and Mongolia? afaik have fairly big bowling scenes but it's pretty uncommon across most of Asia

[azure laurel]

like here (the selected stuff) replace r_mult for r_dollars?

[manic rune]

i think i can just, ignore the message being weird for now

i dont think its fixable

without making this even more yanky than it should

the fact that im using copy_card is probably illegal enough already :3

[red flower]

no, all the part inside loc_vars is just the description code

you want to change what's in calculate

[modern kindle]

everything is always fixable

[manic rune]

dilly can u fix it for me

[red flower]

(yes the description is longer than the actual effect)

[manic rune]

anyways, what effect should i add next

[modern kindle]

sure as long as u go through my mod and turn all of my needless patches into hooks :3

[manic rune]

something unique but also somewhat universal

[azure laurel]

Oh I already saw, gosh im an idiot, thanks for the help

[ocean sinew]

where is the game seed stored?

[red flower]

G.GAME.pseudorandom.seed? i think

[manic rune]

G.GAME.pseudorandom.seed-

yeah

-# damn im slow

[ocean sinew]

I wanna make a joker that randomly changes the seed

[red flower]

i think that would be impossible to visualize as a player

[chrome widget]

Also yes, every professional bowling ball has a cool design and is named something unnecessarily edgy

[manic rune]

seeds are normally inaccessible until you lose/win a run

[modern kindle]

whats ur favorite

[manic rune]

so, while it does make a difference to everything, you wont know about it

[red flower]

yeah and even if they were the player would have no idea what changed

[manic rune]

mhm

[ocean sinew]

what about a joker that tells everything thats going to happen in this seed for next round and changes seed at end of round

[modern kindle]

you could make an extra tab in the run info that shows how the seed changed, ie showing shop diffs and such

[manic rune]

also, hows this for an effect

[Passive]
If Joker is destroyed, creates a Tarot/Spectral card
(Must have room)

:3

[red flower]

that would make more sense yeah

[manic rune]

i wonder how you would achieve that (the one that tells "everything")

[red flower]

that would just be a fun curiosity rather than an interesting effect

[ocean sinew]

Idk but it seems like a good idea

[ocean sinew]

very good idea

[manic rune]

i see

[modern kindle]

i mena changing the seed in general is just that

[manic rune]

Tarot is 0%, Spectral is 100% :3

[modern kindle]

there not much to gain unless you can make it a more 'favorable' seed and how youd quantify that is unknown to me

[red flower]

yeah thats why i think it wouldnt be good unless you specifically have prediction effects

[ocean sinew]

me when I get when this joker is destroyed create a copy of it and if joker is destroyed creates a tarot/spectral card on popcorn:

[chrome widget]

My favorite ball I ever had was probably Motiv Primal Rage Remix from 2015

[manic rune]

thats the fun thing about stacked!

you can have some pretty fun combos like that :3

[modern kindle]

which ball do u have the most strikes with

[manic rune]

also i should, probably nerf discards and hands effects

giving +3 hands seems a bit too much lol

[chrome widget]

My most actually competitive ball ever for that purpose was the Roto Grip New Rules from 2016

[ocean sinew]

true

[manic rune]

+2 at most

[modern kindle]

i have 2 cards, one that lets you roll over all unused hands and one that lets you roll over all unused discards

and then a joker that converts all unused discards to hands if you run out of hands 1 at a time

[manic rune]

also the destruction prevention effect is so good when it hits this

:3

i cant believe i actually found it naturally lol

[ocean sinew]

W

getting invisible joker with passive:prevents destructions and keeps values

[manic rune]

that one would be the passive i sent above

the reset ability one is more suitable for food jokers

but still good nonetheless

[latent perch]

wait does that work on selling jokers too?

or is it just useful for ankh

[manic rune]

yes

[latent perch]

I see

[manic rune]

:3

[wintry solar]

we definitely need pictures

[modern kindle]

hi eremel!

[wintry solar]

hi dilly

Are there any syntax/styling recommendations for lua?

All are 15 lbs, ~7 kg

(Sorry, collecting release info took me a long time)

[wintry solar]

omg T-Zone Frozen Blizz is lush

[chrome widget]

The White Dot also has a specific pattern name but I couldn't find it. Both it and the T-Zone are polyester balls (spare balls), which are a lot simpler engineering wise and so they get sold for longer periods of time. They've been selling WDs since like 2002 or smth with a different pattern assortment every year or couple of years, whereas everything else in this photo except the Widow and the T-Zone (also polyester) has been retired in the years since their initial releases

[timid zinc]

looks pretty good to me

[manic rune]

oooh sick

im a sucker for blue -> pink/purple gradients so T-Zone Frozen Blizz looks so nice for me :3

[chrome widget]

I picked it up cause tgirl colors

[manic rune]

ic

[chrome widget]

This is the full assortment seemingly

[wet crag]

Unrelated to modding I love your profile picture. Soupsie...

[wet crag]

These are incredibly badass, I love bowling but I'm bad at it

[chrome widget]

So are most people, I just happened to end up doing it professionally

[wet crag]

Damn. So when you want better work conditions do you. Go on Strike?

Do you go Cold Turkey?

Heh. Heh.

[chrome widget]

LMAO

[wet crag]

Let's put a pin in it and circle back later.

Heh.

[timid zinc]

what fps do boss blinds animate at?

[final jewel]

what does that do

[timid zinc]

it makes it so you cant overfill your consumable slots by having multiple things that give you consumables at once

[olive meadow]

How should the function declaration go, just like "function expoert_after_draw()"

[timid zinc]

like this

[final jewel]

is it ok if I dont use it

[red flower]

what Sophe said + it allows other cards to do stuff with consumable count during scoring because the cards dont get added until after scoring (due to events)

you can omit it but it will make some effects be wrong

[timid zinc]

function original_function_name()
    hook()
    --do your own stuff
end```

[olive meadow]

Ah got it thanks

[timid zinc]

if it has arguments make sure to pass them into the hook as well

[final jewel]

ok I wont remove it

[chrome widget]

Anyone with a little bit of UI knowledge, would you know at all why attempting to call e.UIBox:recalculate() crashes here?

My crash log refers to this line in UIElement:set_values, but I don't know why it would fall into this line since I'm manually setting the UIT off of G.UIT.O in the code

[final jewel]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
-- From VanillaRemade (so thx VanillaRemade)
if context.last_scoring_step and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card == card and #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
trigger = 'before',
delay = 0.0,
func = function()
if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'giga_bluePlus', self.config.extra.odds, self.config.extra.chances, 'bp_prob') then
SMODS.add_card({key = 'c_black_hole'})
else
if G.GAME.hand_played then
local _planet = nil
for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Planet) do
if v.config.hand_type == G.GAME.hand_played then
_planet = v.key
end
end
if _planet then
SMODS.add_card({key = _planet})
end
G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
end
end
return true
end
}))
return { message = localize('k_plus_planet'), colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Planet }
end
end,

I'm not able to make this work

[red flower]

whats the log

[red flower]

i wouldnt mind the the crash logs printed the whole table honestly lol

[chrome widget]

The issue here is that I need to recalculate for switching to decks that don't have an artist credit, otherwise it doesn't orrectly reset the width/height of the main description element and it leaves this weird gap

But for whatever reason, attempting to recalculate the UIBox just causes a general failure

[final jewel]

What is this

[red flower]

oh it's final_scoring_step

[red flower]

youre trying to return a table during context.repetition that doesnt include repetitions

[final jewel]

but like that the code and their is no repetition

[red flower]

final_scoring_step also doesnt haave cardarea == G.hand or other_card btw

i dont think that code is causing that warning

[final jewel]

oh

[red flower]

unless im missing something

[red flower]

does it always crash or only when you switch to one with an artist/one without

im guessing when switching to one without

[chrome widget]

Always crashes

[red flower]

hmm

[final jewel]

I change to main_scoring and remove other card and now its working fine. Also the log doesnt appear anymore

[glad island]

[chrome widget]

my vague assumption is that it has something to do with the other nodes here, since it's calling a very top level UIBox returned from G.UIDEF.run_setup_option(). Each of them has an update function that replaces one of the UIBoxes here when the deck selection is changed (and I hate how this is setup, it feels so jank), but the're all running basically simultaneously

My artist credit is added as a third row beneath the name Movable() and the Back:generate_UI() call

[azure laurel]

hey can i make another question, how i can make a joker alter the consumables, jokers or shop slots? like juggler or the drunk

[daring fern]

G.consumeables:change_size(number), G.jokers:change_size(number) and change_shop_size(number) in add_to_deck

[azure laurel]

and in the config tab?

[azure laurel]

like config = { extra = { j_size = 1 } } ?

[azure laurel]

so i dont need to put the modifications to the config tab?

[daring fern]

No.

[azure laurel]

thaks for the help

[vast night]

this might be correct, but i think the hand_chips*mult is from a function arg. where was this file located?

[latent perch]

state_events.lua, but consider comparing the blind chips toG.GAME.current_round.current_hand.chip_total, might work

[rotund sable]

when are we going to butcher talisman?

[knotty compass]

Is there a place that explains balala shaders well? I wanna try doing something with them but it just looks so intimidatingg

[distant junco]

how can i change the enhancement of a card?

[short girder]

can vouchers have calculate?

[rapid stag]

ikr 😭

[red flower]

yes

[red flower]

card:set_ability("m_key")

[distant junco]

cool

[short girder]

if i just put the calculate function does the game automatically understand that i want it after the voucher has been redeemed

[red flower]

yes

it calculates when it's in the voucher area

[distant junco]

how can i check if a card has an enhancement

[ivory citrus]

Hi, me again. This is my first time trying do enhancement, and I don't know why it's not working.
The error message says it's something related to the atlas.

[cursive gazelle]

Your enhancement has no atlas

Add
atlas=“modprefix_atlaskey”,

[dense ginkgo]

    config = {
        extra = 2,
        choose = 1, 
    },

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.choose, card.ability.extra } }
    end,

    weight = 0.9,
    cost = 4,
    kind = "BTCTPack",
    
    create_card = function(self, card, i)
        ease_background_colour(HEX("cc3b49"))
        return SMODS.create_card({
            set = "Batrocities",
            area = G.pack_cards,
            skip_materialize = true,
            soulable = false,
        })
    end,
    select_card = 'jokers',

    in_pool = function() return true end
}

Does anybody know why this booster pack is crashing balatro?

[cursive gazelle]

What’s the crash

[short girder]

folks, can i add a string.find(v,'certainPrefix') to a for k,v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) loop to check if something has a certain prefix in its key?

[ivory citrus]

Without that line, it works, but when I try to add it, I get an error again. I am sending proof that that is the correct prefix and key.

[red flower]

yes but have you considered just checking if the center is from the mod

(also it would be k not v)

[short girder]

thats what im doing but the mod has very nicely labeled out what is and what isnt a certain center type
like it has type1_key and im trying to check if it has type1 or type2 at the start :]

[short girder]

gotcha

alright this should work

[red flower]

i think it would be better if you add that to the center too

[cursive gazelle]

SMODS.Atlas

Its capital A

Lua is case sensetive

[chrome widget]

Ugh this is weird, this crash also happens when I add a recalculate to the other update functions that vanilla points to. I'm just so confused b/c I'e done something like this before (changing a UIElement to an object type, adding an object, and then calling the UIBox to recalculate), and that one didn't provide any issues

[normal crest]

the atlas doesn't need the mod prefix there

[cursive gazelle]

Just incase

[red flower]

i did something like that to test it myself and it didnt crash

[chrome widget]

????? wuh

let me remove all my custom code and try it

[red flower]

i think the problem might be something else, like in the UIBox you're adding as an object

[short girder]

im going to assume this isnt a me problem since it doesnt say stack overflow

[chrome widget]

nope yeah it still crashes on my end for whatever reason

maybe something in the changes I made to Back:generate_UI()

[vernal path]

[SMODS modularous "modularous.lua"]:21: Error reading file 'content/extra.lua' for mod with ID 'modularous': Could not open C:\Users\legom\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods/modularous/content/extra.lua in mode r```
why would this crash happen? The file exists, and it doesn't crash if i dont try to load it.

is it because its open in another program (vs code)? It's never had an issue before

[red flower]

try closing any program that might have it open

[distant junco]

bump

[short girder]

okay this is the third time the game has crashed out of memory issues when it hasnt done anything like that in ever im assuming its a me problem

[red flower]

have you read the enhancement docs

[vernal path]

oops nope im stupit i did not load "extras.lua", which exists, i tried to load "extra.lua" which does not

[normal crest]

well what's your current memory usage

[distant junco]

ah, no. i really should check the documentation more

[void socket]

hey so can anybody help me my face card textures aren't being loaded

[short girder]

holy shit do i have a ransomware what the fuck

my cpu is at 100% with memory at 92

[short girder]

i have three windows open??

[normal crest]

just restart your pc

[short girder]

yeah best course of action

[normal crest]

Happens to me as well, after opening and closing balatro a lot, probably a memory leak somewhere

[short girder]

can you copy the crash and send it here instead of screenshotting it

[ivory citrus]

I did as you said, and when the error messages appeared, I entered what it asked for, and although it no longer crashes, but the image I need does not appear.

[normal crest]

all your enhancement should have for atlas is atlas = 'enh'

[cursive gazelle]

Try adding the atlas key to the atlas=

[normal crest]

the SMODS.Atlas call goes before you define the enhancement

[chrome widget]

okay yeah I turned off all my mods and added this as an override in SMODS, still crashes

G.FUNCS.RUN_SETUP_check_back = function(e)
  if G.GAME.viewed_back.name ~= e.config.id then 
    --removes the UI from the previously selected back and adds the new one

    e.config.object:remove() 
    e.config.object = UIBox{
      definition = G.GAME.viewed_back:generate_UI(),
      config = {offset = {x=0,y=0}, align = 'cm', parent = e}
    }
    e.config.id = G.GAME.viewed_back.name
    e.UIBox:recalculate()
  end
end```

exact same place

[red flower]

there's nothing that is using the same object you remove right?

[ivory citrus]

I don't understand what you mean.

[chrome widget]

Nope. But this test here proves it's not smth I'm doing

[short girder]

when you define an atlas, you give it a key, it's like its name. Try putting in your code atlas = 'atlasName'

In this case, replace atlasName with your atlas' name.

Let's go!!! It worked!!

[short girder]

Oh N, btw, out of curiosity, how would I do this

[normal crest]

SMODS.Atlas {
  key = 'enh',
  path = 'enh.png',
  px = 71,
  py = 95
}

SMODS.Enhancement {
  -- stuff
  atlas = 'enh',
  -- more stuff
}

[red flower]

SMODS.Joker{
  ...,
  modprefix_type = "type1"
}

then G.P_CENTERS[key].modprefix_type

[chrome widget]

rather flummoxed. befuddled. confused. hoodwinked. bamboozled

[short girder]

Gotcha

[ivory citrus]

Workerd!

I'm very thankful

[dense ginkgo]

bump

[distant junco]

this is making my joker into a glass card 😭 i tried scored_card like in midas mask but it causes a crash, for some reason

[red flower]

card in calculate is the joker

you need to get the card you want but it depends on your code

[vernal path]

is it possible to make this text render correctly? The effects listed in the (currently) bit are picked from the loc vars

[red flower]

no

[vernal path]

damn, very sad

oh well

[red flower]

either use main_end or use key to change descriptions in a localization file

[vernal path]

well that would be 9 localizations for the same joker. I suppose I could just make it c:attention and leave it as that

[distant junco]

this is it for now

[red flower]

context.other_card

[red flower]

9 localizations for the same joker sounds fine

code is free

[distant junco]

what does this text look like in code?

[red flower]

ok i dont know if this helps but I noticed that it crashes when it checks the third children of a node out of four but with cardsleeves enabled it crashes when it checks the fourth children out of five
maybe that helps locate the object lol

[chrome widget]

huh

[distant junco]

well now this makes all cards into glass cards

[red flower]

there are a couple of things wrong with the logic
whats the objective?

[distant junco]

for now, im just making stone cards into glass cards, but end goal, just the first scored stone card

[chrome widget]

Maybe it's all on the wrong nesting level somehow?

[red flower]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1] and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_stone") then
  context.other_card:set_ability("m_glass", nil, true)
end

[chrome widget]

Since one level up, if it was somehow adding there, would be the third child of four, made fourth of five with the added cardsleeve earlier

[red flower]

yeah

[chrome widget]

But organization wise it seems correct? Because if it added it one level up, the text box would probably end up somewhere around here

Since it'd be a row node added in the third slot, expecting a column
Deck > desck > new added node > stake colum

[short girder]

Folks, anyone know how to handle orbital tag randomizing?

[red flower]

add_tag(Tag("key", false, 'Small'))

iirc

[chrome widget]

And the topology ultimately looks correct

Ugh this is a headache

I've tried delaying the recalculate with an event but some issue. Some reference gets fucked up in setting these nested UIBoxes

[ripe thicket]

how do I make it so that a consumable spawns a random joker that has a specific badge?
like I have this irl grass consumable and I want it to summon a random joker that has the "IRL Jimbo" badge when used

[cursive gazelle]

Just include the group key in the add_card or create_card

[red flower]

i did some prints and the object that crashes is this one

[cursive gazelle]

Guessing the group is a table

[chrome widget]

Other.........

Huh

[red flower]

which makes sense because its below the cardsleeves selection but idk why it is

[chrome widget]

What is that, I have no clue. Once I get back from the store I can look at the code

[red flower]

my guess was the stake selection but i removed it entirely and it was still happening

so idk

[chrome widget]

Oh you're right that would be between it. Because below it is the seeded run text, the toggle, and then the play button

So maybe Stake Selection is occurring strangely later and there's a frame in there where it hasn't been rebuilt?

[ripe thicket]

sorry but how do I get the group key of a badge? the way I added these badges way just by creating a badge individually on each joker

[cursive gazelle]

You need to make a global table that contains all the keys for those jokers and call it in create_card or add_card to get a random one

[red flower]

found it, it's this one

oops didnt send the image

<@&1133519078540185692>

ty mods

sneaky

[chrome widget]

Toggle meaning the actual toggle control or the rows that appear when you hit the toggle?

(also thank you for helping me debug this, I probably would've figured it out on my own but I do appreciate it because I've not been very effective)

[red flower]

the rows appear when you hit the toggle, the toggle itself is not the problem

i just removed it and it stopped crashing
now i dont know how to fix that

[chrome widget]

So basically, the game is clearing the rows without setting the UIT setting to not be an object when they're not visible

And by default they're not there, so there's an object node that will crash on recalculate because it hasn't been told not to look for an object by just making it a row or column or wharever

Given that, I probably have a decent solution

[red flower]

again?? <@&1133519078540185692>

[chrome widget]

Kills you kills you

Mr. Electric, KILL HIM

[karmic creek]

long day in the spam mines

[fossil nebula]

how do i make joker that gives a specific booster pack?

[hallow slate]

How would I properly, in loc_vars, put something like "2 of Clubs"? Like if I wanted a random rank/suit combo

[frosty rampart]

check how The Idol behaves in vanillaremade

[frosty rampart]

when is the booster pack given

[fossil nebula]

after the round ends it has a chance to give you a booster pack from mod

[ripe thicket]

so I think I have the table needed for this, but I'm not sure what to do from here

[daring fern]

local booster = Card(G.play.T.x + G.play.T.w/2 - G.CARD_W*1.27/2, G.play.T.y + G.play.T.h/2-G.CARD_H*1.27/2, G.CARD_W*1.27, G.CARD_H*1.27, G.P_CARDS.empty, G.P_CENTERS.p_modprefix_key, {bypass_discovery_center = true, bypass_discovery_ui = true})
booster.cost = 0
G.FUNCS.use_card({config = {ref_table = booster}})
booster:start_materialize()

[frosty rampart]

yea that works if you want to open it directly (i think). if you want it in the shop, do this instead

if context.starting_shop then
  G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
      local booster = SMODS.add_booster_to_shop('p_modprefix_boosterkey')
      booster.ability.couponed = true -- only use these two lines if you
      booster:set_cost()              -- want the booster to be free
      return true
    end
  }))

  -- this return is also optional, only if you want the joker to give you a message
  return {
    message = [your message],
    colour = [your color]
  }
end

[normal crest]

do SMODS.add_card { key = 'j_' .. pseudorandom_element(irl_friends, "seed") }, or you can remove the 'j_' .. part if you add it directly to the strings in irl_friends

[ripe thicket]

I tried that and it crashed the game

[daring fern]

Update SMODS

[fossil nebula]

Ughh i will be honest i kinda don't understand the code

[daring fern]

It creates a booster, then it makes it free, then it opens the booster pack.

[ripe thicket]

yep that fixed it!

thank you all for the help :D

[fossil nebula]

Where do I specify what booster it gives?

and i put local in local_vars and the rest before return?

[daring fern]

No, you put it where you want to create the booster.

[distant junco]

how can i change the rank of a card

[daring fern]

You change modprefix to your mod prefix, and you change key to the booster key.

[daring fern]

SMODS.change_base(card, nil, "Ace")

Replace Ace with the key of the rank.

[distant junco]

Swag

[fossil nebula]

Ok it works but there is a problem

the round end screen goes up and you can't choose cards

[daring fern]

Have you tried putting it in an event?

[fossil nebula]

it is

[daring fern]

Have you tried putting it in an event in an event?

[fossil nebula]

how should that work?

[daring fern]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                local booster = Card(G.play.T.x + G.play.T.w/2 - G.CARD_W*1.27/2, G.play.T.y + G.play.T.h/2-G.CARD_H*1.27/2, G.CARD_W*1.27, G.CARD_H*1.27, G.P_CARDS.empty, G.P_CENTERS.p_modprefix_key, {bypass_discovery_center = true, bypass_discovery_ui = true})
                booster.cost = 0
                G.FUNCS.use_card({config = {ref_table = booster}})
                booster:start_materialize()
                return true
            end
        }))
        return true
    end
}))

[fossil nebula]

oh wait nvm

im dumb

[fossil nebula]

ok so now i can choose card but the end screen still appears, this time behind

[daring fern]

When do you want the booster pack to show up then?

[fossil nebula]

after the round end and before the screen if that's possible

like it works now

so if there's no way to do that it's still fine

but it would just look better

[rough furnace]

[daring fern]

Maybe you could set G.STATE_COMPLETE = true outside of the event, then move the code into only 1 event instead of 2 and hook G.FUNCS.end_consumeable and set G.STATE_COMPLETE = false?

[fossil nebula]

where do i put end_consumeable and the second one?

to the event?

[daring fern]

The hook would go outside the joker and the code inside the joker would be something like this:

G.STATE_COMPLETE = true
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        local booster = Card(G.play.T.x + G.play.T.w/2 - G.CARD_W*1.27/2, G.play.T.y + G.play.T.h/2-G.CARD_H*1.27/2, G.CARD_W*1.27, G.CARD_H*1.27, G.P_CARDS.empty, G.P_CENTERS.p_modprefix_key, {bypass_discovery_center = true, bypass_discovery_ui = true})
        booster.cost = 0
        G.FUNCS.use_card({config = {ref_table = booster}})
        booster:start_materialize()
        return true
    end
}))

[fossil nebula]

now it works like the last time, the end screen covers the cards

[fossil nebula]

well i will just go back to this one

it works

but i have other questions

how do i make this booster not appear in shops and can i make that it gives only negative cards?

[daring fern]

in_pool = function(self) return false end and in the create_card function you would add edition = "e_negative"

[frosty rampart]

first one: make its in_pool function always return false

[fossil nebula]

Thx

[errant arrow]

so im a little slow, smods's wiki has an area for repeating joker effects... it's under Calculate Functions

[chrome widget]

@red flower

This was the fix. Setting the node that contains the seed textbox to be a row when its object is not valid, and then back to an object when its object will become valid. Not doing so in the vanilla code is arguably bad practice

local ref_toggle_seeded = G.FUNCS.toggle_seeded_run
function G.FUNCS.toggle_seeded_run(e)
    if e.config.object and not G.run_setup_seed then
        e.config.object:remove()
        e.config.object = nil
        e.UIT = G.UIT.R
        e.UIBox:recalculate()
    elseif G.run_setup_seed then
        e.UIT = G.UIT.O
    end

    return ref_toggle_seeded(e)
end```

[red flower]

great job

[fallow breach]

is there an easy way to add random cards between separate pools, like a joker that generates a planet or a tarot, or a joker that generates a tarot or a spectral

[chrome widget]

🙇‍♀️ thank you v much

[red flower]

"Tarot_Planet" is its own pool iirc
for other combinations you would have to use pseudorandom_element or another method to oick randomly

[pure salmon]

is this allowed before i test

[chrome widget]

youll want to check if it has in_pool first

otherise you could try to call a nil reference

[red flower]

also it would be center:in_pool()

[pure salmon]

got it

wait how would i nil check for a function

[misty radish]

How would I use an image as a rarity badge?

[frosty rampart]

just check if enhancement_center.in_pool before making the function call i think

[red flower]

if enhancement_center.in_pool and enhancement_center:in_pool()

[rocky plaza]

how would i make a certain type of enhancement not show up in a standard pack? make in_pool() always return false?

[pure salmon]

oh yeah because everything in lua is a variable

[red flower]

yes

unless you want it to show up naturally somewhere else

[pure salmon]

in_pool = function(self, args)
        return false
    end
}

yeah exactly that

[misty radish]

Bro corrected two typos
I rarely correct one
Silly boi

[pure salmon]

not really a typo

[rocky plaza]

luckily that is not the case i only want the enhancemet to be created by a joker, thx

[misty radish]

So you put everytihng on purpose?
And then changed it to everything for no reason?

[pure salmon]

no but it was more a misunderstanding than it was a mistyping

[misty radish]

Ah
Okay

[spare elk]

been a while since i last asked smth here, is it possible to make eternal consumables? if so, how

[frosty rampart]

what exactly is the goal?

[spare elk]

a consumable that can't be sold

[daring fern]

card.ability.eternal = true

[spare elk]

oh dang
you can tell how ancient i am for not knowing a single line of code lol

[fallow breach]

so i've got some issues

it works as intended mostly, but it fills up every empty slot instead of only creating one card

it also lags the shit out of the game when the boss is rerolled

and will crash it without even showing an error screen if i reroll enough

[manic rune]

why are you doing context stuff in there?

[fallow breach]

that's all under calculate

[manic rune]

-# not SMODS.calculate_context, the code below it

what the

please dont hook in calculate

[fallow breach]

where do i hook then...
