[cursive gazelle]

your atlas is wrong

[agile path]

oh, what should it be?

[cursive gazelle]

    key = "trans_joker",
    path = "placeholder.png",
    px = 0,
    py = 0,
})

SMODS.Joker({
    key = "trans_joker1",
    atlas = 'Trans_joker',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    rarity = 1,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = true,
    cost = 4,
})

here

[agile path]

what did the change do?

i see the one, but why

[cursive gazelle]

the atlas=""

should have your atlas key

[agile path]

under SMODS.Joker?

[cursive gazelle]

yes

keys should preferbly be unique , you can use them but you might

keyword might

get some bugs

[agile path]

i thought they had to match

i see

[cursive gazelle]

the joker key should be unique

but the atlas field should be the same as your atlas

[agile path]

do i need to make any file for said atlas?

[cursive gazelle]

you can also add your modprefix before it , if somehow someone has the same key as your atlas ,(very rare)

[cursive gazelle]

no , you just need the image

[agile path]

there's something that's been bugging me

[cursive gazelle]

and it is

[agile path]

does it just access the assets folder on it's own? i thought you had to specify it

[cursive gazelle]

its in the atlas

you just give it the image name

[agile path]

in smods.atlas, yes?

[cursive gazelle]

yes

[fossil nebula]

can I make a consumable that isn't in any of base game sets?

[cursive gazelle]

yes

i think smods.consumabletype

or something

[agile path]

can i show you the crash cscreen?

[crystal spade]

sorry its me again, I had it working but I don't know what changed lol

I updated my steammodded version to the latest release from gh and modified my code

SMODS.Jokers.j_lada.calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            local left_effect, right_effect = nil, nil
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
                    print('a')
                    local left_joker = G.jokers.cards[i - 1]
                    local right_joker = G.jokers.cards[i + 1]

                    if left_joker and left_joker ~= card and left_joker.config.center.blueprint_compat then
                        left_effect = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, left_joker, context)
                    end

                    if right_joker and right_joker ~= card and right_joker.config.center.blueprint_compat then
                        right_effect = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, right_joker, context)
                    end
                    break
                end
            end

            if left_effect or right_effect then
                local merged_effect = SMODS.merge_effects(
                    { message = "Divine touch!", card = card},
                    { left_effect or {} },
                    { right_effect or {} }
                )

                return merged_effect
            else
                return nil
            end
        end
    end```
this crashes and tells me that context is nil

[vocal rampart]

'-'

[cursive gazelle]

    key = "",
    primary_colour = HEX("79005C"),
    secondary_colour = HEX("A7154C"),
    loc_txt = {
        name = "",
        collection = ""
    },
    collection_rows = {6, 6},
    shop_rate = 0,
    default = "c_hpr_placeholder",
}```

[cursive gazelle]

yes

[fossil nebula]

thx!

[agile path]

adding this back crashed, so it must be this no?
assert(SMODS.load_file("trans_joker.lua"))

[cursive gazelle]

can i see the above and your mods folder

[cursive gazelle]

why's the calculate isn't inside the joker's code

[cursive gazelle]

you have an extra ,

[crystal spade]

what do you mean

[cursive gazelle]

this is missing the () at the end

[crystal spade]

i'm porting from an old steammodded version so there's probably api tweaks i don't know about

[cursive gazelle]

calculate=function should be inside SMODS.joker

[agile path]

i think this might be the issue, cause i don't have a comma 😔

[cursive gazelle]

are you tring to make two sided blueprint ?

[crystal spade]

yeah

[cursive gazelle]

1 sec

[fossil nebula]

what does it mean

[crystal spade]

the code was working, N` shared theirs here

[crystal spade]

the variable you're using on line 820 is nil

lets see ur function

[fossil nebula]

i... don't have anything on line 820

[frosty rampart]

that crash is taking place in one of the vanilla functions

[crystal spade]

oh sorry you're right

post your stacktrace?

[cursive gazelle]

https://github.com/Clickseee/Tangents/blob/23e82c11ea132fb9ce04a2539e648f19f37d265a/stuff/wankers/TheLegend27/its9inches.lua#L268*

this is an example of two sided blueprint

[fossil nebula]

Ok it is when the shop is generated

[red flower]

it's the code i shared

[crystal spade]

oh big syntax overhaul

[agile path]

see? i'm telling you man, it's that file

[crystal spade]

do you have permission to open it?

[rocky plaza]

hmm can you share that file?

[cursive gazelle]

can i see inside your mod folder

[crystal spade]

chmod 777 and try again?

[agile path]

ofc

[fossil nebula]

it might be because of the new consumable type being there

SMODS.ConsumableType({
    key="Special",
    primary_colour = G.C.BLUE,
    secondary_colour = G.C.BLUE,
    name = 'Special',
    loc_txt =      {
        name = 'Special',
        collection = 'Special', -- label for the button to access the collection
        undiscovered = { -- description for undiscovered cards in the collection
        name = 'Unknown',
        text = { 'Special!' },
        },
    },
    collection_rows = { 6, 6 }
})

[agile path]

was this for me? cause this made me think-

[fossil nebula]

Is it becuse i was loading save file and didin't start a new run?

[cursive gazelle]

no like , the path

[crystal spade]

yes

[high sinew]

Trying to readjust The Ride the bus ability to subtract 3 mult instead of reset it seems having a table for extra is making sum wonky not sure why. Not sure either if anyone will know since it deals withtaking ownership for joker

[cursive gazelle]

your atlas is still wrong ...

[agile path]

sorry! it was for someone who asked for it

[cursive gazelle]

SMODS.Atlas({
key = "trans_joker",
path = "placeholder.png",
px = 0,
py = 0,
})

SMODS.Joker({
key = "trans_joker1",
atlas = 'trans_joker',
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
rarity = 1,
discovered = true,
blueprint_compat = false,
eternal_compat = true,
cost = 4,
})

replace this with your current code

[rocky plaza]

yo atlas should equal "trans_joker" btw

[agile path]

Oh, i'm struggling a bit with whole atlas part, thank you all for the patience ;-;

[cursive gazelle]

i fixed it lol

[rocky plaza]

ah ok i was a bit slow at catching that lol

[stiff locust]

the original ride the bus uses card.ability.extra for its incrementing value doesn't it

[rocky plaza]

i am going crazy trying to implement a bajillion if statements to invert every vanilla boss blind lol

[agile path]

still crashing, damn

[high sinew]

ik thats why im asking to see if there a way to get around this

[cursive gazelle]

also thunderEdge you should text me , i need some devs to plan a mod if you're intrested

[stiff locust]

just don't have the table be extra

[rocky plaza]

is it the same error or not?

[high sinew]

ah ok didnt know that would work ill try tho

[agile path]

yup, same error

[rocky plaza]

can i see the main file then

[agile path]

yes ofc

[stiff locust]

config = {multloss = { mult = 3}, extra = 2} will work

[red flower]

can we see the folder structure

[stiff locust]

that makes the table card.ability.multloss without changing card.ability.extra

[high sinew]

Agreed

[agile path]

is there a way to do like a tree command just for my mod's folder?

[high sinew]

im trying to just use integer as name for param and see if this fixes it

[stiff locust]

the issue is that ride the bus is trying to add card.ability.extra to its mult

if extra is a table that's not good and it'll fuck up

[high sinew]

Yea i realized as i was trying to debug

seeing if better approach imma try urs tho

[red flower]

on windows it's tree /f iirc

[high sinew]

looking at it in game.lua gave me this

[red flower]

but you can also just send screenshots

[agile path]

got it

both 1x and 2x have the upscaled artworks

[stiff locust]

very confused

[agile path]

should i take it out of the jokers folder?

[stiff locust]

can you screenshot this line

at the top of your file explorer

[agile path]

ofc

any specific folder?

[stiff locust]

it shows the file path to the folder you're in

[red flower]

yes the problem is that the path should be jokers/trans_joker.lua

[stiff locust]

assets/1x should be in your mod's root folder

you define an atlas by giving it a key and a file name, the file name points to the file in assets/1x and the key is used in jokers to tell them which file to look at

[cursive gazelle]

i literally said you should add any subfolder to the joker path if you have one lmao

[proven belfry]

how can I make a joker that upgrades through triggered editions/enhancements

[high sinew]

Whats the triggered exactly?

like to cause effect outta curiosity

[proven belfry]

upgrades by 0.1 xmult

[high sinew]

Wdym?

your trying to create a joker that upgrades editions/enhancements right?

[stiff locust]

inside your calculate

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
if card.edition and card.edition.key == "e_foil" then
---do stuff if it's foil
end
if card.config.center == G.P_centers.m_steel then
---do stuff if it's a steel card
end
end

[cursive gazelle]

gains 0.1 xmult whenever an edition/enhancement triggers

[high sinew]

ah this makes more sense

[proven belfry]

how do i make it like in general

[stiff locust]

well that's how you check for enhancements/editions

that's half of it

[proven belfry]

so i have to do this for every single individual one

[high sinew]

Yee good basis to it

[stiff locust]

oh if you want it to be any edition

[high sinew]

Create a pool to reference

[stiff locust]

then it'd be likeee

[frosty rampart]

for any edition you could just check for if card.edition, because card.edition is nil if it's not editioned

[proven belfry]

not negative as that doesnt really "trigger" its passive

[high sinew]

Make a global table for mod like Stickmin = {} and use it to build pools

[stiff locust]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
if card.edition then
---do stuff if it's editioned
end
if card.config.center ~= G.P_centers.c_base then
---do stuff if it's enhanced
end
end

this

i think

[high sinew]

that works too

[old epoch]

How would i make a joker detect if a certain seal is played? I have if card.seal == 's_btct_SealCrimson' but i don't think it's working.

[stiff locust]

it might beG.P_centers.m_base instead

[high sinew]

oh ur prob right

[stiff locust]

but it's probably c_base

[high sinew]

i think vanilla uses c_base whoopsies

[stiff locust]

it is c_base I just checked

my code was right

[frosty rampart]

first, check if you have the ID right. in-game, with the debugplus mod, hover over a card that has the seal and type into the console: eval dp.hovered.seal

[high sinew]

yee i think ur right on that too

[proven belfry]

if card.edition and not card.edition == e_negative then excludes negatives right

[frosty rampart]

don't forget quotes around the e_negative but yes

[stiff locust]

if value:get_seal() == "modprefix_sealkey" then

[high sinew]

i always build pools as a manual workaround 😂

[agile path]

sooooo...

[old epoch]

oh, thank you!

[stiff locust]

and not card.edition.key == "e_negative"

you were close

[proven belfry]

you are missing atlas, pos, and loc_txt

[stiff locust]

value is the card you're checking btw

[old epoch]

alright

[agile path]

good news: no crash

[agile path]

in the main?

[high sinew]

@stiff locust Not sure if its even possible to do what u suggested since its same error i orignally faced thank you for help tho

[red flower]

yes, if you still have it there

[agile path]

cause moving it to the mod root folder didn't crash

[stiff locust]

show your full code

[red flower]

yeah you were missing the folder in the load_file

[frosty rampart]

iirc custom values directly in the joker's config table don't get copied to the card's ability table unfortunately, it's a hardcoded thing

that's why smods recommends making a table out of extra

[agile path]

do i just add jokers/ before the name of the .lua then?

[high sinew]

yea i had a feeling based on crash

[stiff locust]

this has never been an issue for me

[high sinew]

like i dont think you can use config this way sadly

but idk tbh

[stiff locust]

i used to do them all in card.ability.extra but i've been making a bunch of other jokers that just use the base tables

and they all work fine

[frosty rampart]

send code pls

[high sinew]

i did

[frosty rampart]

directed at marie

[red flower]

the base table should work fine afaik, extra is recommended to not have clashes with preexisting keys

[stiff locust]

let me find an example that I can share without spoiling anything i haven't shown yet

[red flower]

but idk how it works with take_ownership

[high sinew]

it did not sadly

[stiff locust]

tsunami uses card.ability.extra because I haven't made content for it in ages

[high sinew]

yea i think sum goofy is happening

[agile path]

yes, thank you! it didn't crash

[frosty rampart]

here's my source for "stuff outside the extra table might not get copied" btw
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#common-parameters

[stiff locust]

most of* (i just checked) the jokers in splatro's current public release don't use an extra table and they work i think that's my only public example

[red flower]

i thought this too but it might have changed at some point

[high sinew]

yea im aware of this and always build with extra

[lament agate]

what do i do to make jokers that specifically appear with certain mod installed

[stiff locust]

some mods will have a table you can check for to check if they're loaded

like if you're checking fo overflow you can do if Overflow then

but otherwise there's a way to check if a mod is loaded that is more convoluted

[fossil nebula]

How do i make a tooltip for a consumable?

[crystal spade]

you can enable the debug menu and spawn them

if ur asking about debugging them

[lament agate]

nah

[lament agate]

like

code wise

[lament agate]

im talking about like

[crystal spade]

oh like make a joker spawn another joker?

[lament agate]

cross mod shit

[fossil nebula]

i want to have a similar effect to the fool, when i hover on my joker i see the consumable it will give me

[crystal spade]

shouldn't matter

[agile path]

I know this isn't much but please chat...
i did it ;u;

(loads of help involved, thank you all <3)

[lament agate]

or other's mod consumables

[red flower]

yes that's what i posted

[stiff locust]

in loc_vars add an info queue line
info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_steel will do it for a steel card
use the center for whatever you want the info queue to be of, in this case G.P_CENTERS.c_modprefix_consumablekey?

[lament agate]

i thought its find_mod

[red flower]

you can add dependencies to your objects

[red flower]

that works too

but you can just have it in the joker

[red flower]

great work

[fossil nebula]

thx!

[agile path]

Thank you!

I will start working on the localization
That's how the text appears (such as jokers' names, description and etc, yeah?)

I'll try that on my own, if i have any doubts, I'll annoy you guys again lol

[rocky plaza]

yep

[rocky plaza]

also this is going to be useful when you add colors to your descriptions
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#loc_colours-table

basically a reference for the available colors and how to add your own colors

[agile path]

Ah, like how the word "mult" is in red for example?

[rocky plaza]

yeah

it has the colors for everything in the base game

so like the blue for chips, green for chance-based effects, etc.

[crystal spade]

i'm getting errors related to the atlas, i'm assuming that's another difference between the version i was developing on and this one
does the atlas replace this
SMODS.Sprite:new('j_fish', birthday_mod.path, 'Jokers.png', 71, 95, 'asset_atli'):register()
or is it in addition to?

[neat leaf]

In my mod's json file, what's the conflicts syntax for disallowing any version of a specific mod? My mod reimplements BetterTags and is therefore incompatible with BetterTags. I have ```
"conflicts": ["BetterTags"]

but that doesn't seem to work right (as in, I don't get an error if both mods are already enabled).

[rocky plaza]

i have not seen that syntax
that must be an ancient version of SMODS lol
but yeah i think atlases replace that

[crystal spade]

yes i was on a very old version loll

i had initially forked another mod to learn

[rapid stag]

is context.initial_scoring_step called with the G.hand cardarea?

[crystal spade]

where do you specify the dimensions of the sprite?

[rocky plaza]

in the atlas table, px = width and py = height

[crystal spade]

thanks

[red flower]

the id is bettertags

[neat leaf]

...that'd be the reason. Thank you.

[agile path]

What would g.c.gold be used for, for example? Indicate card ranks?

[red flower]

i think gold is barely used

[rocky plaza]

yeah, for money use {C:money}

[red flower]

ranks use attention (G.C.FILTER)

[faint yacht]

SMODS.calculate_context({initial_scoring_step = true, full_hand = G.play.cards, scoring_hand = scoring_hand, scoring_name = text, poker_hands = poker_hands})

[distant junco]

trying to destroy first card in hand and its doing a big nothing (this tends to happen a lot with me i swear)

if card.ability.extra.man == 'Hamster' then
            if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1] and not context.blueprint then
                return {
                    remove = true
                }
            end
        end
``` something wrong with my syntax?? id be suprised because if have code that looks just like this amd it works great

[red flower]

there's no other_card in context.destroy_card

it's also destroy_card

[distant junco]

oh

how would i do it properly then

[red flower]

.

[distant junco]

context.destroy_card == context.scoring_hand[1]

?

[red flower]

yes

[distant junco]

that makes sense

[whole jungle]

I modded an existing image in a mod and got this error: Could not decode PNG image (invalid CRC encountered (checking CRC can be disabled))

How do I disable CRC or potentially fix the check?

[vernal path]

Looks like the CRC check is embedded in the LÖVE C++ code. CRC is basically a checksum to make sure the png isnt corrupt. How are you replacing the png?

[distant junco]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == context.scoring_hand[1] guhh?

[maiden phoenix]

Scoring_hand might not exists during that context check, add and context.scoring_hand before the destroy_card check

Sorry Thermo lol

[whole jungle]

I edited the existing PNG in GIMP. I just put in another sprite, and got an issue on the 2x version. Just replaced it entirely, if I understand the question.

[red flower]

what sdm said but I would recommend having if context.destroy_card at the beginning like you had before

instead of context.scoring_hand

it's a proper check

[distant junco]

if context.destroy_card and context.scoring_hand and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == context.scoring_hand[1] like this?

[faint yacht]

context.scoring_hand doesn't appear to be ever defined for that call?

[agile path]

working on the localization file

[red flower]

yes

[old epoch]

How would i detect player money and maximum interest?

[red flower]

it's in the context variable during the entire calculation process

scoring i mean

[maiden phoenix]

G.GAME.dollars and G.GAME.interest_cap

[old epoch]

alright, thank you!

[agile path]

i based it off of the text file i edited in my pack, but i'm assuming it's not the same lol

[distant junco]

same crash

[maiden phoenix]

Maybe that's why

[agile path]

    descriptions{
        Joker={
            j_jgbt_trans_joker={
                name="Trans Joker",
                text="test",
            }
        }
    }
}

this is what i have

[frosty rampart]

it should be descriptions = {

[agile path]

yes
i did get a new crash tho oops

[chrome widget]

Hmmm having trouble setting up this dependency. It says Arrow loaded correctly but both of my mods seem to lack the dependency? And I'm not sure what defines something as a lovely mod vs a steamodded mod

[agile path]

hi winter :3

[chrome widget]

Hello!!!!

[agile path]

what table?

[frosty rampart]

oh the text probably also has to be a table, even if it's only one line
(so i.e. text = { "test" },)

[agile path]

ah, so these fuckers {}

[distant junco]

yuh

[agile path]

i thought it could just be a string

[frosty rampart]

most descriptions end up being at least two lines anyway, so there's not much of a reason to account for it lol

[agile path]

good news: no crash

bad news: joker still has no text D:

[red flower]

the ids seem to be different

[red flower]

can i see the crash and the code

[distant junco]

alright

[chrome widget]

hmmm okay. I tried to use "ArrowAPI" but I also got a different lack of dependency before

[red flower]

oh and when a mod can't load properly it still loads lovely patches
that's why i don't use conflicts

[frosty rampart]

yaaaay
i was about to ask if it was a key mismatch issue, i assume that was the case?

[agile path]

yes it was lol

[distant junco]

if card.ability.extra.man == 'Hamster' then
            if context.destroy_card and context.scoring_hand and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == context.scoring_hand[1] or context.destroy_card == context.scoring_hand[2] and not context.blueprint then
                return {
                    remove = true
                }
            end
        end

[agile path]

wait,
1 is common
2 is uncommon
3 is rare
4 legendary?
for rarities

[frosty rampart]

anyway now that you have a bunch of the framework stuff out of the way, future additions should hopefully be much less problematic

[maiden phoenix]

Yes

[distant junco]

thats right

[red flower]

the logic is wrong, put the A or B part in parentheses

[distant junco]

is that everything?

[red flower]

idk test it

[agile path]

yes. if you scroll up, you can see me bashing my head at basic stuff... but with it out of the way, now i just need practice

[cursive gazelle]

yes

[distant junco]

i was going to. but not because you told me to!!

[cursive gazelle]

wait i just lagged lol

[agile path]

all good :3

[frosty rampart]

you're doing great :3 keep it up

[chrome widget]

Also does higher priority order mean loads after or before?

[agile path]

wait, we have N and s
crash bandicoot reference

[cursive gazelle]

good luck modding

[cursive gazelle]

never played crash , should i be offended

/j

[agile path]

depends /j

[cursive gazelle]

after logically

smods has 0

and all mods use smods framework

[distant junco]

works great! i was thinking to put the or in parenthesis but i just didnt because im a moron

[frosty rampart]

it's not super intuitive
you can have negative priority (in lovely patches at least, don't remember if mods themselves can off the top of my head but it's probably not great to do if smods is 0), and "bigger number = higher priority = load first" doesn't sound wrong either

[red flower]

mods load after smods even if they are lower than 0

smods is not 0

it doesn't have one

[cursive gazelle]

can you even go lower than 0

[red flower]

yes

[cursive gazelle]

lol

[red flower]

0 is the default

[cursive gazelle]

so before even the game loads

[chrome widget]

Its seeming to me that higher priority loads first

[red flower]

no

[cursive gazelle]

i see

[red flower]

lower number loads first but everything after the game loads

[cursive gazelle]

it's a joke

[frigid cargo]

if G.GAME.dollars >= G.GAME.interest_cap * 5 then

Is interest_cap a table or smth like what?

[red flower]

jokerdisplay has like -100000 for example

because it's an API mod

[red flower]

dollars is

[frigid cargo]

ah

[red flower]

with talisman

[frigid cargo]

what do i use to get the current money of player then?

[red flower]

that

[frigid cargo]

oh G.GAME.current_money?

[red flower]

either uninstall talisman or follow this
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/3d719c5647c3e053c994ca8999dc19dfa3181925/src/jokers.lua#L4883

[distant junco]

TIL you can put -card.ability.extra.whatever to make it a negative number because of course you can

[red flower]

no

[frigid cargo]

oh

ok

[whole jungle]

Is there a way to setup rainbow text? Like, each text character gradients?

[chrome widget]

hm. For whatever reason it's saying one part of the ArrowAPI table isnt defined by the time one of my dependant mods loads

Puzzling

[rocky plaza]

does SMODS have any plan of implementing animated sprites for other cards (not just blinds)?
I am thinking about creating a public github repo to help others with implementing animated jokers, consumables, etc.

[red flower]

yes

eremel said so at least

[rocky plaza]

okok good to know

[red flower]

there's a PR about it in the smods repo

[fossil nebula]

is there a context for when a joker is sold?

[daring fern]

context.selling_card and context.card.ability.set == "Joker"

[fossil nebula]

but like

this specific joker

[frosty rampart]

wdym

[daring fern]

context.selling_self

[frigid cargo]

still happens... i added both the to_big and the extra one for if talisman doesnt exist

[agile path]

Chat, imma take a break for today

I need to fix some of the text too

I hate
That
It
Looks
Like this yknow

[red flower]

may i see the code

[frigid cargo]

slay

[frigid cargo]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play then
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 14 or
                context.other_card:get_id() == 9 or
                context.other_card:get_id() == 7 then
                    if to_big(G.GAME.dollars) >= G.GAME.interest_cap * 5 then
                    return {
                        xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmultcap
                    }
                else
                    return {
                        xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmultbase
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end

[frosty rampart]

i assume you're starting a new set of quotes for each color, you don't need to do that. the color tags can appear in the middle of a string, and you can turn it off (back to default black) with an empty set of {} in the string

[red flower]

you need to do it around interest_cap * 5

it's always better to do it on both sides just in case tho

[frigid cargo]

oh ok thanks

[agile path]

That's exactly what i did lol
So for example
"{C:attention} text {} text",

[fossil nebula]

config={extra={stonecards=2}},
    rarity = 2,
    atlas = 'gfy',
    pos = { x = 7, y = 0 },
    cost = 8,
    pools = { ["gfy"] = true },

    calculate = function(self, card, context, hand, planet, consumeable)
        if context.selling_self then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
    for i = 1, card.ability.extra.stonecards do
        SMODS.add_card({ enchantment = "m_stone" })
    end
        return true
    end
}))
            return{}

        end
    if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and context.game_over == false then
            card.ability.extra.stonecards = card.ability.extra.stonecards + 1    
            return
            {
            message = "+stone",
            play_sound('gfy_sandvichmake',1.3,0.8),

            }
        end
    end

}

can someone help

[rocky plaza]

{
"Both {C:attention}Kings{} and {C:attention}Queens{}",
"are treated as",
"each other"
}

[chrome widget]

Another issue I'm trying to fix is that for whatever reason, the atlas here isn't loading correctly? At the top of the file I load the stand_stickers atlas so I assume I'm missing something really simple

prefix config isn't set to off, seemingly

[fossil nebula]

it crashes when selling

[agile path]

As each other sounds much better, yes
Thank you

[frosty rampart]

hmm strange
maybe the spaces before the brackets are iffy? i dunno

[sturdy compass]

onklers

[chrome widget]

I'd remove the word "both" for conciseness too

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card{ set = "Base", enhancement = "m_stone" }

[frigid cargo]

ok thanks i think it works now, its back to the problem where it says other_card is a nil value, how do i fix this?

[red flower]

you need a more strict context check

read the calculation docs and use one that would be appropriate from there

[frigid cargo]

ok thanks

[agile path]

"Both Kings and Queens are treated as each other"

With "kings" and "queens" being orange

[red flower]

btw, that's a really really hard effect to do lol

[sturdy compass]

Can confirm

[agile path]

We'll get there lmfao

[frigid cargo]

it works now thanks

[agile path]

Can confirm transitioning is very hard to do too

[red flower]

as in, I wouldn't recommend anyone do it even if they were good at modding

[frosty rampart]

it's a "wait until SMODS gets quantum ranks done on their end" type of thing

[agile path]

Fuck

[sturdy compass]

I've tried and somewhat succeeded but it's so jank and relies on patching so heavily that I also would not recommend it

[frosty rampart]

the good news is that there's a PR for it now! but it still needs some testing and i dunno if/when it'll be merged

[agile path]

I was thinking it could be done the same way smeared joker was done, no?

[frosty rampart]

unfortunately ranks and suits do not behave the same

[rocky plaza]

unfortunately no

[agile path]

Ah, damn it :(

[sturdy compass]

Suits are a lot easier to do that with than ranks

[wooden nexus]

Let's see if i implemented +Score without Talisman properly

[frosty rampart]

there's a has_suit() function in vanilla, which has smeared joker built into it essentially, but all of vanilla's rank checks are hardcoded instead of being a similar has_rank() check

you also need to handle straight calculation for quantum rank stuff, which is very complicated

[wooden nexus]

I'll make a complete proper color with the purple

[lament agate]

@maiden phoenix technically speaking, how would i use other sprites in the same atlas for the description's sprite?

[wooden nexus]

Oh

[unborn bay]

i love 10

[maiden phoenix]

By modifying the atlas value and pos

[rocky plaza]

hmm maybe you could have a toggleable joker where if it is in one mode, turns all kings into queens and in another mode, turns all queens into kings

[wooden nexus]

It's not supposed to be 10

supposed to be 1010

[lament agate]

in where exactly

i got this working

[rotund sable]

Back to the drawing board vscode

[agile path]

I think this is Susie's idea

[lament agate]

it just crashes your game btw

by talisman

[rocky plaza]

i love how at the top it says oh no

[wooden nexus]

lemme try again, maybe it's case sensitive

[agile path]

How would that be done?

[maiden phoenix]

modify the G.ASSET_ATLAS, and the center.pos

[wooden nexus]

Well it definitely was case sensitive

[rocky plaza]

i know others in here have added buttons to jokers that do things
its pretty advanced but not "kings and queens are treated as each other" kind of advanced

[lament agate]

thanks

[wooden nexus]

To give context: I was trying to convert This without talisman

[agile path]

So, anything that has to do with suit and suit changing is... Really hard

[rocky plaza]

no not really its just rank stuff

[frosty rampart]

*rank, and specifically making one card count as multiple ranks
an even simpler option would be to just transform all kings into queens, and vice versa, when played and scored

[agile path]

NOT SUIT, RANK AAAAA

[agile path]

Wait, this actually cooks

[fossil nebula]

How can i make it show how much i have in storage?

[agile path]

"Scored kings transform into queens and vice versa" for example?

[rocky plaza]

yeah thats actually pretty simple to implement

[frosty rampart]

yea

[agile path]

Originally, i was going with that lol
But i decided to try and be more egregious lol

[rocky plaza]

ofc when quantum ranks gets added to SMODS doing the whole kings and queens are treated as each other will be a lot easier

[fossil nebula]

nvm

[wooden nexus]

I realized the error of my code, I didn't even port the actual addScore part

[agile path]

Joker potential rework

[frosty rampart]

oh how i long for quantum ranks
(i will immediately be adding a "stone cards count as all ranks" joker to my stone mod)

[rocky plaza]

plays one stone card
counts as a straight
sounds about right

[agile path]

Stone mod?

...are there any weed related jokers

[frosty rampart]

(sigh) yes /lh

[agile path]

Stoned joker...?

Beautiful

Bro's too far gone

[rocky plaza]

ah yes 420 joker

[whole jungle]

Anyone know how to do gradient colors for text or backgrounds?

[frosty rampart]

the straight calculation should only let cards count as one rank at a time unfortunately
but it is a very good 5oak-inator

[rocky plaza]

if you have a custom gradient defined with SMODS then i believe there is an easy way to get the color for loc_txt purposes

i dont remember off the top of my head

[agile path]

I got a mod that added planet cards level up hands individually
Like, either mult or chips
Is that hard to do?

[lament agate]

wait a second, it uses the same prefix

[rocky plaza]

i wouldnt think so... havent messed with that stuff myself

i do know mods that modify the +mult of a hand individually tho

[agile path]

"All in jest" is the mod
Interesting concept

[frosty rampart]

yea
looking at the code, it just sort of copies the vanilla level up hand function into two different functions. one levels up chips for a given hand only, the other does only mult. then the planet cards call one of those custom functions upon use

[neat leaf]

Is it possible to determine the final width of a UIBox?

[median veldt]

i have NO idea how to make poker hands, is it possible to check for specific suits

[oblique lotus]

Does anyone know how to disable the sound of an edition when it is applied to a card?

[rocky plaza]

card:is_suit(suit_to_check)

[agile path]

[willow scroll]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card)["m_mult"] == true then
                context.other_card.ability.mult = card.ability.extra.mult
                return
            end
        end
    end,

im sleeping on the job how can i make this effect apply to the card before it scores?

[median veldt]

where do i get card from tho

[rocky plaza]

if context.before

[median veldt]

from parts or hand

-# id assume hand but yk

and also what property like
something like for card in hand or something?

[red flower]

for _, card in ipairs(hand) do

yes

[cursive gazelle]

Isn’t it G.hand

[red flower]

this is for a poker hand

[cursive gazelle]

Oh i see

[median veldt]

although i wanna check if the hand contains 1 of each of the specified suits

[willow scroll]

that doesnt work?

[wooden nexus]

So I realized the +Score from Astronomica is actually a talisman version of the original card_eval_status_text in the base game, so I decide to use that instead

[willow scroll]

oh wait i have to cycle through the hand dont i

[rocky plaza]

yeah use context.before then go through the cards in played hand

[median veldt]

please dont judge my code i know for a FACT this doesn't work AT ALL it's just a basic thing to turn into something that DOES work, I just don't know what to do**

wait also that return isn't right either ignore that

i forgot it has to return the scored cards

wait i might have an idea

[wooden nexus]

Huh...

Is it bad my thought went to lucky charms

Hearts stars and horseshoes, clovers and balloons

[median veldt]

lmfao

[maiden phoenix]

Having multiple return won't work, it will return once on the first one it reaches, you could attribute each of them to a local boolean variable, and check if each boolean variable is true

[willow scroll]

alas i must bother you once more because i dont know how to cycle through cards apparently i thought for _, check_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do would do it

[wooden nexus]

Is that not what it is?

[rocky plaza]

what are u trying to do with the cards?

that loop u gave should work

[median veldt]

i know 😭

did u even read my message 😭

[rocky plaza]

ehh but if u need exactly one of each then id suggest using a table that maps suits to occurences

[willow scroll]

i want to modify the mult a enhanced mult card gives when scored when a specific card is held

[chrome widget]

bumping this (im making dinner and haven't even looked at iit anyway

[median veldt]

one or more
i am currently writing the worst implementation ever but it might work

[willow scroll]

currently doing it by applying it before the hand scores and removing it after because i have no idea how to properly do it (or attempting to)

[median veldt]

and honestly

if it works it works and someone else can improve it

[rocky plaza]

oh so the issue is trying to modify the mult that a mult card gives then

[willow scroll]

probably, but im using the same code that worked for context.individual (only it applied after scoring) 😭

[maiden phoenix]

"I don't know what to do" Now you know

[agile path]

Chat, i was brainstorming with a friend of mine
She sent me this

https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Cryptid/Maximized

[median veldt]

i guess

i meant that i knew multiple returns dont work

[rocky plaza]

that basically is rank replacement, not the same as having a card count as 2 ranks tho

[frosty rampart]

it also doesn't apply to straight calculations and is really gross in implementation

[lament agate]

@maiden phoenix doesnt work

[maiden phoenix]

Why did you redo the same lovely patch 😭

[median veldt]

theyre mutiplying

[willow scroll]

okay the smods.get_enhancement check fails

[agile path]

Imma stick with the conversion

[maiden phoenix]

In the {S: } field you have to put whatever is the key to your center

[lament agate]

I THOUGHT IT USES DIFFERENT

[median veldt]

should I have an else condition that just like returns {} or something`

[maiden phoenix]

No lol

(eom is an util func for my loc)

[lament agate]

ah

[maiden phoenix]

But yea you can put whatever key inside

[lament agate]

to the center?

[wooden nexus]

if has apple and has balls

[maiden phoenix]

Tho it only works on sprite from center objects

[lament agate]

i uses the same atlas as yours

[median veldt]

real

[wooden nexus]

.

[median veldt]

mb

[maiden phoenix]

You have a center for your heart but not for susie?

Can you show me your consumable's localization?

[wooden nexus]

Trying to figure out a way to add score to card_eval_status_text

[lament agate]

like the localization files?

[maiden phoenix]

yes for the susie idea

[lament agate]

i hate to disappoint you but i used loc_txt 😭

[maiden phoenix]

Whatever just show me the desc

[median veldt]

i can't believe my stupid fucking code worked

[wooden nexus]

Harmony

Yeah... i don't get it

[median veldt]

-# it's my little pony

-# lmao

[maiden phoenix]

My brain is gonna explode

[lament agate]

WHAT WHY

[wooden nexus]

-# oh fml

[maiden phoenix]

Wtf is tngt_I and why do you use j_joker as a key

[median veldt]

-# dw its meant to be subtle

[maiden phoenix]

I feel like you completly misunderstood what my lovely patch does

[lament agate]

-# IM NEW

[median veldt]

what the fuck is happening 😭

[lament agate]

-# IM NEW ;<;

[median veldt]

its ok 🙏

[maiden phoenix]

Sorry Nxkoo it's 2am for me rn I don't wanna go over a long tutorial for this 😅

[gaunt phoenix]

Does anyone knows what context check I could use to make a consumable unable to be "buy & used" in the shop ?

[lament agate]

vald actually

[lament agate]

thanks meta

[wooden nexus]

I can't seem to figure out the stupid eval text thing

[frosty rampart]

any time

[lament agate]

gotta wait for tomorrow

to fix this

[gaunt phoenix]

(pls ping me if anyone has an answer)

[lament agate]

i was following his tutorial

[normal crest]

Not a context, you have to hook

A function, which is probably

G.FUNCS.can_use, but i don't remember

[willow scroll]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
            for _, check_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if SMODS.get_enhancements(check_card)["m_mult"] == true then
                    check_card.ability.mult = card.ability.extra.mult
                end
            end
        end
    end,

but it doesnt want to? idk does this look wrong?

[maiden phoenix]

j_joker is the key that points to your center object, tho if you want to just use Sprites only a modification of the lovely patch is necessary

[normal crest]

Remove the cardarea check

[maiden phoenix]

so like if you had [yourmodprefix_S:j_jolly} it would show Jolly Joker instead

[willow scroll]

huh that worked, thanks!

[lament agate]

like the desc showing jolly joker or jolly joker desc has it

[willow scroll]

weird the context in the documentation said to have that aswell

maybe i didnt get it what it said

[maiden phoenix]

It would show the sprite of Jolly Joker in whatever you've put {yourmodprefix_S:j_jolly}

[lament agate]

oh

ohhhhhhh

okay i see

so i dont need the joker key?

[maiden phoenix]

I mean you need the key of whatever center sprite you want to show

But again if you want it to work on any sprite from any atlas you need to modify the lovely patch

Making center objects just to show their sprite in desc doesn't seem reasonable

[lament agate]

you said something about messing the center.pos for the sprite atlas

[maiden phoenix]

Since you use the key to get the object from G.P_CENTERS, I just fetch the pos from said center too 🤷

[unborn bay]

what even is nxkoo doing anymore bruh

[maiden phoenix]

So I don't have to look up the sprite in my atlas and manual hardcode it

He's trying to understand my lovely patch that adds sprites in description boxes

[lament agate]

this

trying to add the second one

[maiden phoenix]

Nxkoo worst case scenario, just update your atlas with Susie in it and I'll pr you a better version of the lovely patch

tomorrow tho

[lament agate]

you're so kind for my demented brain

[lament agate]

but sure, ill push the atlas with susie in it

[ivory widget]

How would i retrigger only the last Gold card several times?

[daring fern]

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.end_of_round then
    local other_card
    for i=#G.hand.cards, 1, -1 do
        if SMODS.has_enhancement(G.hand.cards[i], 'm_gold') then
            other_card = G.hand.cards[i]
            break
        end
    end
    if other_card and context.other_card == other_card then
        return {repetitions = number}
    end
end

[vernal path]

damnit somethingxom515 im on my phone i cant type that fast

sorry for reply umbral, lol

[normal crest]

Damn

[drifting lava]

Guys, I've been wondering about something and pins suggested I ask here.

I'm pretty annoyed stumped playing on the black deck, and would like to get the fluff out of the way. I believe I saw a mod in Balatro University channel where Dr Spectre placed some parameters and the game rerolled until it found a seed where the parameters happened (Like starting with a mega arcana pack with legendary stone)

Could you let me know which mod that is and if so, am I able to use it without disabling achievements? I want these black deck wins to count for C+ so I can get the black deck out of the way. I'm already restarting a bunch until I get a good start so just want to save time and am already on the last 2 stakes

[normal crest]

That's the Brainstorm mod iirc

Tho there's a new version of it

With a different name

[frosty rampart]

for the other part: steamodded disables achievements by default but you should be able to re-enable them in the config tab of the Mods menu

[ivory widget]

i was just about to ask if i could append and context.cardarea == G.hand to the first line, thank you for the edit

[normal crest]

that change wasn't enough for the original code

But it looks fine now

[versed swan]

How do you change the weight of booster packs?

*after initialization

[daring fern]

Modify G.P_CENTERS.p_modprefix_key.weight?

[azure laurel]

hey, how i make to destroy a selected joker?

[frigid cargo]

how can i make a randomizer for sounds?

[versed swan]

SMODS.destroy_cards(G.jokers.highlighted[1])

[azure laurel]

Thx

[daring fern]

You mean play a random sound or make every sound randomized?

[frigid cargo]

play a random selected set of sounds

[chrome widget]

I'm super confused

[versed swan]

seems like it works, thanks

[rocky plaza]

does balatro happen to have a list of all the keys of the boss blinds? I need to know if a boss blind is not vanilla so i can handle it with a default inversion

or do i have to make my own list of keys of vanilla boss blinds? 😭

[red flower]

search for P_BLINDS

or you can do eval for key, _ in pairs(G.P_BLINDS) do print(key) end in the debugplus console and copy it from the lovely console

[daring fern]

if blind.config.blind.original_mod?

[whole jungle]

Anyone have any clue why my 2x asset would get CRC failure from an existing mod (but my 1x asset doesn't?)

How can I disable CRC checking?

[frigid cargo]

Bump

Cause i kinda just hard coded it and its kinda big lmao

[whole jungle]

Is it random from a list of sounds?

[normal crest]

local sound = pseudorandom_element(list_of_sounds, 'seed')
play_sound(sound)

[frigid cargo]

Yes

[frigid cargo]

Thanks

[violet oasis]

I'm trying to set up a config setting that changes the pitch of a particular song. I got it working so it switches between a slow and fast versions of the song, but everytime I switch inbetween them, it doesn't start the song form the beginning, it's like if both versions are playing at the same time, but I can only hear one at a time. This is what I have right now. Is there any way to fix this?

    vol = 0.6,
    pitch = 0.8,
    key = "music_middle_normal",
    path = "middleNormal.ogg",
    select_music_track = function()
        return (G.GAME.selected_back.name == 'The Middle Deck' and G.GAME.blind and not G.GAME.blind.boss and not G.shop) and 0 or false
    end,
})

SMODS.Sound({
    vol = 0.6,
    pitch = 1.0,
    key = "music_middle_normal_f",
    path = "middleNormal.ogg",
    select_music_track = function()
        return (G.GAME.selected_back.name == 'The Middle Deck' and G.GAME.blind and not G.GAME.blind.boss and not G.shop and ProjectMoonMusic.config.enable_fast_music) and 1 or false
    end,
})```

I tried messing around with the priorities and adding a "and not" with the config to the slower version, but the result is the same

[normal crest]

I think that is exactly what's happening, both play at the same time and you can only hear one

I dunno if there's a way to stop that, but maybe try messing with sync?

[violet oasis]

Hm, that's a bummer. I can't really sync the tracks, as they have different lengths and I still want them to loop perfectly. The odd thing is that I also have a version of the track that plays during boss blinds, and when it switches between them it resets the track without issue. I dunno why specifically the config setting doesn't cause the same behaviour in this case

[azure laurel]

hey im having trouble with a consumable
the game let me use it although im not selecting any jokers, how can i make the game dont let me use it when any joker is selected?

[frosty rampart]

you'll want your can_use function to only return true if G.jokers and #G.jokers.highlighted <= card.config.max_highlighted and #G.jokers.highlighted > 0 i think

[azure laurel]

o tried to do thatand i write it wrong,thanks for the help

[frosty rampart]

assuming you want it to only work with a single joker selected (if you want more jokers to work, still do that but also increase the max_highlighted variable in its config)

[manic rune]

what do i change in SMODS.localize_box to reduce the height of text boxes

i tried adding minh = 0, reducing padding to 0, none worked

[azure laurel]

i want to do it for one joker
and the game crashed when i selected the consumable

[frosty rampart]

what's the crash

[manic rune]

i wonder if its related to this

[azure laurel]

it say that it was trying to compare a non-existing number, cuz the code had "card.config.max_highlighted" instead of "card.ability.max_highlighted"

[frosty rampart]

oh my bad lol
so it sounds like you fixed it

[azure laurel]

yep, thats would be doing if now happen this >: (

never mind, i fixed again

thx for the help anyway meta

[mighty kiln]

why does every resource include everything except decks

do you see something missing here?

[daring fern]

It's backs

[mighty kiln]

oh

does it include deck functions or just the way to make them look different

[daring fern]

No, it includes the vanilla decks remade with SMODS

[mighty kiln]

ok

well im stupid

[mighty kiln]

thanks

[warm dragon]

In a mod challenge can I change the base chips and mult for each hand type?

[normal crest]

Is checking if card.playing_card then sufficient to tell if a card is a playing card

Or is there a scenario in which a non playing card might have that

[daring fern]

Yes.

[neat leaf]

How do I make something happen when a user interacts with my create_toggle{} config item? I have opt_callback = "kcr_config_updated" with G.FUNCS.kcr_config_updated defined, but it doesn't appear that function is being called.

[normal crest]

try just callback

instead of opt_callback

[neat leaf]

callback = G.FUNCS.kcr_config_updated 🙂

That worked

[normal crest]

I guess it's just meant to be a function, not a string

Weird

[warm dragon]

The hook I tried to write for the second challenge in this file is wrong I think I want to set the base mult and chips for all hands to zero

I'm not sure if I am approaching this correctly

[gilded blaze]

there's already a syntax error in the file

[mighty kiln]

my mod dosent appear in the list of active mods in the menu

[warm dragon]

Where?

[mighty kiln]

my mods name is construction deck

[frosty rampart]

you missed a closing quote on the line restricting judgment in the spongebob-hard challenge

[manic rune]

you are either missing a smods header or you dont have a .json file

[mighty kiln]

i have a .json whats a header

[gilded blaze]

I do not recommend asking for syntax errors since you'll have to do that every time you have one
instead, use Visual Studio Code and download Lua Language server extension

[warm dragon]

yep yep. Thanks I fixed that. But I am still getting an error on start up. Is the hook where I try to change the chips and mult done correctly?

[manic rune]

wuh

[rapid stag]

how do i check if the played hand had an unscored card? i know i can just do cardarea == 'unscored' but i'm not sure about the exact implementation of my idea

[frosty rampart]

anyway for the hook itself, G.GAME doesn't exist yet in init_game_object. the function returns a table and then that becomes G.GAME. so replace all cases of "G.GAME" in the init_game_object hook with "ret"

[mighty kiln]

is a header something really obvious im missing

[manic rune]

you dont need it if you have a .json file in your mod folder

[frosty rampart]

(also you misspelled the call to the ref function)

[manic rune]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[warm dragon]

I see, I'll try that. Is the way I am going about it the best way to do this or is there a better way?

[brave blade]

Is there a context for when any type of card is destroyed? (Joker, playing card, consumable, etc.)

[frosty rampart]

i think the way you're doing it makes sense, but tbh it's too late for me to think about that

[rapid stag]

context.destroy_card?

[daring fern]

(context.joker_type_destroyed or context.remove_playing_cards)

[brave blade]

Does that include consumables? (I know consumables can't be destroyed in vanilla, I just want to make it mod-friendly)

[daring fern]

Yes.

[warm dragon]

Well it is not crashing anymore but it also didn't change the chips and mult to 0

[mighty kiln]

WHAT IS A HEADER

[warm dragon]

oh, I changed the wrong file

[manic rune]

@mighty kiln

[rapid stag]

bump

[warm dragon]

Yeah the hook isn't working

[manic rune]

compare G.play.cards with context.scoring_hand, probably?

[pastel kernel]

What’s the context for if the played hand is the first played hand

[daring fern]

if #context.full_hand ~= #context.scoring_hand

[rapid stag]

that makes sense, yeah

[daring fern]

if G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0

[unkempt thicket]

Where does the hand text update when selecting a hand?

[frigid cargo]

how can i put multiple sounds into a list?

SMODS.Sound({key = "Spam1", path = "Spam1.ogg",})
SMODS.Sound({key = "Spam2", path = "Spam2.ogg",})
SMODS.Sound({key = "Spam3", path = "Spam3.ogg",})
SMODS.Sound({key = "Fingers", path = "Fingers(1st).ogg",})
SMODS.Sound({key = "Explain", path = "Explain(2nd).ogg",})
SMODS.Sound({key = "Strings", path = "Strings(3rd).ogg",})
SMODS.Sound({key = "Heart", path = "Heart(4th).ogg",})

[pastel kernel]

If I wanted to make the context “For every single unscoring card in played hand…” what would I write?

[rapid stag]

you would have to iterate through context.full_hand and check that the card is not in context.scoring_hand

and then apply your effect accordingly

[manic rune]

i wonder if im the only one who uses G.play.cards instead of context.full_hand

3:

[pastel kernel]

context.individual

Can I use this context?

[rapid stag]

oh, if you're going through context.individual, you can just check if context.other_card isn't in context.scoring_hand

[manic rune]

in that case you want to use context.cardarea == "unscored"

[rapid stag]

yes!

[warm dragon]

Why isn't the hook I wrote at the bottom of this file not correctly changing the base mult and base chips for the hands in my challenge?

[pastel kernel]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == “unscored” then
(Code for spawning a random negative consumable, I forgor)

It’s for Maxwell Scribblenauts

[daring fern]

Yes.

[gilded blaze]

move it to Game.start_run

[pastel kernel]

Is it random or random seeded?

What’s the difference

[warm dragon]

Awesome! that worked. Why does it have to be in Game.start_run instead of where I had it?

[median veldt]

this is actually the most horrid code I have ever written

[gilded blaze]

because Game.init_game_object is only called at game launch and exiting to menu

[median veldt]

and thus it does not work at all

[warm dragon]

That makes sense

[median veldt]

it literally just scores like. seemingly a random card

[daring fern]

Yes, i should start at 1

[pastel kernel]

I will at some point create a poker hand called “3 musketeers” which is just 3 aces, which gives 50 chips and 10 Mult, level up gives only half its base.

[warm dragon]

Thanks @gilded blaze

[median veldt]

that just made it score like a high card

[subtle merlin]

can cards get editions by applying them the same way you would a joker?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[subtle merlin]

yay! ty

[median veldt]

nvm fixed

[median veldt]

ok so i changed it a little

in its current state, it scores the first occurrence of each of the suit

i want it to score the highest, no matter what the actual order of the hand is

[unkempt thicket]

Where does the hand text update when selecting a hand?

[pastel kernel]

The main purpose of Maxwell is to spawn define

How do I make a joker spawn a random rare negative consumable too?

[pastel kernel]

Ali

Do you know the code to spawn “any” negative consumable?

Even the rare ones

It’s for a joker

[modern kindle]

what you tryin to do here

[daring fern]

local key = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Consumeables, 'seed').key
SMODS.add_card({key = key, edition = 'e_negative'})

[modern kindle]

oic

that could be itneresting

soon i wanna start messing with audio stuff on the user next

[pastel kernel]

Key is maxwell_notebook

So

[modern kindle]

also hi smt

[faint yacht]

key in that is referencing a random consumables' key as target to spawn.

[pastel kernel]

Is ‘seed’ a number? Like do I have to add a specific number in place of ‘seed’ or is that untouched?

[daring fern]

No, it's a string.

[pastel kernel]

So it’s untouched.

[daring fern]

No, it's a seed for the randomness but as a string.

[faint yacht]

...I should update the create_card contents of my Booster Packs from this...

return create_card("Consumeables", G.pack_cards, nil, nil, true, true, leg and 'c_soul' or togabalatro.getrandcons('rar'), 'toga')

[pastel kernel]

Can I write any number there?

[daring fern]

No, because it should be a string.

[pastel kernel]

pseudoseed(‘maxwell’) does that work?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[pastel kernel]

do I remove context.joker_main

[frigid cargo]

uhhhh idk what i did wrong

[daring fern]

Firstly, it needs to be a table, Secondly, move play_sound out of the return, Thirdly, you need your mod prefix on the sounds.

[frigid cargo]

How do i make table with sounds?
-# sorry ive never done it before

[daring fern]

{'modprefix_soundkey1', 'modprefix_soundkey2', 'modprefix_soundkey3', 'modprefix_soundkey4'}

[frigid cargo]

Oh ok thats

why does this happen if i have 3 of the same joker?

[manic rune]

what line is this?

[frigid cargo]

if pseudorandom('Spamton') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.Voiceodds then

[manic rune]

seems like your card.ability.extra.Voiceodds is nil

make a new run and try again

It only happens if theres 3 of the joker idk why

i can't do this anymore.

nobody here can help me.

i'll just sit in this chair and wait for an answer

see if somebody here can tell me what's wrong with my code

[daring fern]

It's Consumeables not Consumables

[pastel kernel]

It works.

Got sidetracked working on my API mod however added deck crediting Galdur support

Oh yeah I gotta make sleeve versions of all my art

As a whole my API adds support for easy crediting so you can do a little less than copy paste in loc vars

Could anyone help?

[daring fern]

colours go in loc_vars

[old epoch]

oh, okay. thank you!

[pastel kernel]

Ok so it’s so stupidly unbusted, I’ll change the context from “unscoring card” to “held in hand”

[manic rune]

i mean what did u expect lmao

u can just play a high card hand with 4 unscored cards

[pastel kernel]

To get an ungodly amount of consumables in deck

That’s all I want

I may not be guaranteed a soul, but the chances of getting it should be unrealistically high.

[old epoch]

I did that, but its still giving the same crash. Here's my updated code:

loc_txt = {
        name = "Duality",
        text={
        'Add a {V:1}White{} or {V:2}Black{}', 
        'seal to {C:attention}1{} selected',

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
         colours = { HEX('161616'), HEX('bdbdbd') }

[pastel kernel]

I believe individual works with cardarea == G.hand?

[daring fern]

loc_vars goes outside of loc_txt

[old epoch]

oh im dumb

[daring fern]

Also you need to return it.

Could anyone help?

[stiff quiver]

just use if seal == 1 instead of if seal('atlas_btct_consumeables_Duality') == 1 im pretty sure

[old epoch]

oh, let me try that then

with that it now says it is attempting to index a nil value

[stiff quiver]

change the function for this and remove the local seal = ... at the start ```lua
func = function()
if pseudorandom("atlas_btct_consumeables_Duality",1, 2) == 1 then
conv_card:set_seal(card.ability.extra.whiteSeal, nil, true)
else
conv_card:set_seal(card.ability.extra.blackSeal, nil, true)
end
return true
end

that should work

oh, wait, in what line is saying the nil value

[stiff quiver]

in what line is this

[old epoch]

in card.lua:569

[stiff quiver]

then i think its that card.ability.extra.whiteSeal doesnt exist

and same with blackSeal

[old epoch]

ah

[stiff quiver]

you are supposed to put the key of the seal

[old epoch]

i have the key in the config

im going to try replacing the card.ability with the seal key

[stiff quiver]

<@&1133519078540185692>

thanks mods

[old epoch]

same error there, card.lua:569

[stiff quiver]

did you ever set which card conv_card is?

[old epoch]

would local conv_card = G.hand.highlighted[1] count?

[stiff quiver]

yeah im pretty sure it would

I havent made many consumables though

[old epoch]

me neither, im mainly just the spriter for my mod

[vast night]

Hi everyone. I am creating a joker that copies the LAST card in the hand when the blind is beaten with 2x score. I have one problem, which is that apparently context.full_hand is not available in context.end_of_round and context.after is somehow broken, triggering before scoring even. Does someone know a fix for that?

[old epoch]

managed to get it working, thanks for the help!

[stiff quiver]

np

[stiff quiver]

you can store the card and use it later

[vast night]

im baffled how i didnt think of that

ty

[stiff quiver]

np

[daring fern]

No, you cannot.

[stiff quiver]

no?

[daring fern]

You can't store cards in the save file.

[stiff quiver]

i meant in card.ability.extra.something

[vast night]

not even in config?

[daring fern]

Yes, that is in the save file.

[vast night]

exactly

[stiff quiver]

im confused, cause i made a joker that creates the last two destroyed cards when hand is played and i just stored the cards in card.ability.extra

[daring fern]

Yes, it will break when you reload the game.

[vast night]

Do you have an idea elsewise? As said for some reason contect.after triggers before scoring aka not

[daring fern]

Yes, you do it in an event in context.after

[vast night]

the problem is that for me context.after somehow dosent correctly work. wait lemme test smtn

[stiff quiver]

oh yeah, i never tested reloading the game apparently

[vast night]

so slightly confused on why th it says G.play but in the context it says G.jokersfor context.cardarea

[stiff quiver]

i assume storing it in a G value also breaks right

[daring fern]

No, only in G.GAME

[stiff quiver]

oh, well thats a fix i can do, thanks for helping fixing something i didnt know was wrong lol

[wintry solar]

You almost never need to care about the cardarea

[stiff quiver]

btw, how can I check which stickers a card has?

[vast night]

i am unsure anymore but try out :has_sticker(name)

[stiff quiver]

that didnt work no

[vast night]

so i have this

        if context.after
            and to_number(G.GAME.chips) >= to_number(G.GAME.blind.chips) * 2 then
            print('Yippe')

but i get this
-# sorry for the lag im currently on my laptop and not my pc

[daring fern]

You should change to_number to to_big

[vast night]

yea i was to lazy to do that, but i have that thing with "if talisman then function to_number" thingy so that wouldnt be the problem. i could also remove that and it wouldnt work

[daring fern]

Yes, but to_number is not for comparing.

[daring fern]

You need to do G.GAME.chips+(hand_chips*mult)

[vast night]

would i just be able to replace every instance of to_number with to_big

[vast night]

that makes sense

[daring fern]

Most likely, yes.

[vast night]

ty

[lament agate]

@maiden phoenix im sorry for the folder naming 😭

[maiden phoenix]

I tried my hardest to ignore it

[gilded blaze]

do this instead

if context.after then
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        if to_big(G.GAME.chips) >= to_big(G.GAME.blind.chips)*2 then
            print('Yippe')
        end
        return true
    end
    }))
end

context.after is in fact called immediately
if you really want to check for something after the evaluation, put the check inside an event

[vast night]

it works now, ty tho

[ebon shell]

is there a way to check if a card has a seal same way SMODS.has_enhancement() checks for enhancements?

[daring fern]

if card:get_seal() == "Red"

[ebon shell]

what about just having a seal in general, like if it has a seal return true or something

[daring fern]

if card:get_seal()

[agile path]

Does the coding for my joker to activate its ability also go on the same file as the atlas and such?

[ebon shell]

yeah you can put it all in one file

[agile path]

Got it

[spice wadi]

it can
it can go anywhere tho
i think the atlas might need to be loaded first but thats basically it

[agile path]

    key = "trans_joker",
    path = "trans_joker.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
})

SMODS.Joker({
    key = "trans_joker1",
    atlas = 'trans_joker',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    rarity = 2,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = true,
    cost = 4,

is this a good start ?

[agile path]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring is this the one to convert cards?

[cursive gazelle]

yes

[wintry solar]

it depends, but likely no

[red flower]

the contexts are mostly* not to do things but with what timing you do things
main_scoring is not for jokers tho

[agile path]

ah, thought if was, oops

[red flower]

for jokers it's joker_main

[cursive gazelle]

what you're gonna do inside the if statement will happen when all specified contexts are met

context.before as an example happens before scoring

[agile path]

so, for this i'd need to make this joker check if the scoring cards are kings and then queens, i suppose?

one for kings and the other for queens?

[cursive gazelle]

what do you want to de exactly

[agile path]

.

[wintry solar]

when during the scoring do you want it to happen

[agile path]

if it's prior, doesn't it go into a loop?

[cursive gazelle]

no

you can de before or after scoring , i suppose before would be better

since you can add a flip and make it look slightly better

[agile path]

yes
i was thinking about vampire for example, it triggers before any scoring

[wintry solar]

before is more complicated if you want them to score as the other rank

I don't remember if SMODS.change_base has delay support yet or not

[cursive gazelle]

it didn't last time i checked

[agile path]

for now, i want something simple so i can practice. what do you recommend me?

[cursive gazelle]

also i believe it keeps the old chip value

[wintry solar]

use after then

[proven belfry]

how do I make the player immediately lose? making an active landmine joker that gives ^1.1 mult but if you play X rank you die

[agile path]

after it is

[cursive gazelle]

make a simple + mult joker than a scaling joker , then so some card creation and modification

you can check code in vanilla remade

and reference it

[agile path]

i will do that, yes

[cursive gazelle]

also utils tab and calculate has a lot of useful contexts

[red flower]

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

[cursive gazelle]

and stuff that helps

[red flower]

winter had a more complete version of this, i need to check it out so i can steal it for the vremade wiki

[proven belfry]

how would I do ^1.1 mult? is there a global variable that is entire mult

[red flower]

yes, just mult

or install talisman and return emult

[azure laurel]

hey, how can i make a planet card of the most played hand with SMODS.create_card?

[agile path]

what is loc_vars?

[cursive gazelle]

your variables stored in the joker

[agile path]

i'm looking at the vanilla remade

ah, okay

[azure laurel]

local variants

[red flower]

it's not straightforward, you need to manually check for the most played and the planet card for that hand

[agile path]

is that how for example, you make scalling jokers?

[cursive gazelle]

yes

any jokers actually

loc_vars return the variables to be displayed in the desc

[azure laurel]

example in the config you nedd to put example mult = (the initial mult) and mult_gain = (how many will scale the mult), then you need to codify the context

[pastel kernel]

i'm gonna add the susie laugh

[red flower]

for the planet check blue seal
for the most played:

[agile path]

totally unrelated, but will jokerdisplay show this?

[red flower]

no

[agile path]

thought so

[red flower]

you need to add explicit compatibility

[azure laurel]

i need to do a custom function for the game to tell which planet is my most played hand?

[red flower]

you need to do a loop through all the planets and check which one it is

[azure laurel]

where i put the code? in the main.lua file?

[cursive gazelle]

if you're having a hard time understanding code sw i'll be making a tutorial soon

[red flower]

in the calculate

[azure laurel]

can i put calculate in consumeables?

[red flower]

oh if its a consumable then it should be in use

(but yes you can, not relevant to this tho)

[pure verge]

i need help fixing this code

[cursive gazelle]

what's the problem with the code ?

you're missing an atlas and a loc_txt

[pure verge]

balatro is crashing and it says that the atlas code has to end at path

[cursive gazelle]

it seems like the png couldn't be located

it should be under /yourmod/assets/1x
