[crystal perch]

and there's no crash it just simply doesn't render the shader

[chrome widget]

SMODS no longer uses the default drawing behavior. You'll have to use the draw function on the center, add a new draw step, or hook an existing one

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.DrawStep

[crystal perch]

thank you

[wintry solar]

just add a drawstep

it's very straightforward imo

[crystal perch]

i believe i had this code written before that update

definitely prior to january this year

[chrome widget]

Actually Eremel sorry to bug you when I've already probed for it over in SMODS, but do you know a reasonable way to accomplish what I'm doing here? I need to retrigger/rescore a glass card only if it's going to shatter, but I'm not sure the most effective way to do that after the point that the shattering is determined

[chrome widget]

I suppose I could use probability prediction for every glass card in hand, since it's typically only calculated once

That just feels messier

[wintry solar]

I think it'd be predicting the shatter event and then adding the retriggers but I am not sure

[clear ocean]

for retriggering since someone could have vampire or another joker that changes or removes the enchanment, should i make it where it will only trigger if it's both a seven AND a lucky card, or trigger all sevens

[knotty orchid]

What do you use to record gifs / videos? I use s2gif and each one is extremely heavy

[clear ocean]

obs studio with low video settings

[chrome widget]

Hmmmm I can def predict the shatter event, but I'm mulling on it, because it's harder to know what modded items might influence it

[modern kindle]

yea id say either steam recording or obs

[next timber]

ok actually how do you replace an atlas image i cannot figure it out for the life of me

[knotty orchid]

Okey

ill try that

[ivory citrus]

Helo, sorry for not responding, my laptop ran out of battery and I couldn't charge it until now.

[clear ocean]

https://obsproject.com/download the only reason why its low setting is so its under the video limit my computer is able to handle 720p/1080p recording

[chrome widget]

For example I have a modded iem that internally reruns the glass card break chance, and it wouldn't necessarily know how to handle this if a specific case isn't made for it to know to do it twice

local ref_glass_calc = SMODS.Centers.m_glass.calculate
SMODS.Enhancement:take_ownership('glass', {
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local ret, post = ref_glass_calc(self, card, context)
        
        if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == card
        and not context.destroy_card.glass_trigger then
            local shatter_mes = SMODS.find_card('c_fnwk_iron_shatter')
            local valid = false
            for _, v in ipairs(shatter_mes) do
                if not v.debuff then
                    valid = true
                    break
                end
            end
            
            if valid and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'glass', 1, card.ability.extra) then
                card.glass_trigger = true
                ret = ret or {}
                ret.remove = true
            end
        end

        return ret, post
    end,
}, true)``

[knotty orchid]

I mean my main problem is that I want to share vids on disc and as I don't have nitro size fk me

[chrome widget]

and even still, this occurs well after retriggers are added. ugh

[wintry solar]

you could be mega jank and move where the calculation for destruction of the glass card is done to be before your context

[chrome widget]

ooughghgh yeah mega jank

[crystal perch]

should retrigger all sevens

mainly cuz 7s kinda suck in general lol

[wintry solar]

I'm not sure though really, in simple terms, you're trying to influence a prior step of the game, which obviously isn't very easy

[chrome widget]

yeah

Worst case scenario I can rework the card

[crystal perch]

also thank you for telling me about this i now have it working

[chrome widget]

But if there's some way to rerun scoring this late, I'll try that

hmmm main_scoring context with eval_card? Cause I don't want it to do any more repetitions---this is supposed to be basically a "fake" repetition done by this card only

[wintry solar]

that might work

[clear ocean]

not sure why it doesnt retrigger

[chrome widget]

in many ways bad and evil

[clear ocean]

i looked at the code for buskin and hack

and it seems like the same so i'm not sure what i did wrong

[wintry solar]

that seems like it would run whenever a glass card is destroyed though, not just when it breaks from being played, right?

[clear ocean]

lmao all sixes after that round its like fate itself...

[chrome widget]

uhh I could use the glass_trigger variable that doesn't seem to be used elsewhere

[clear ocean]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/1618a7660d84a41efa2275e78b79a66e666400c8/src/jokers.lua#L878C1-L878C6

[wintry solar]

yeah thatshould work

[clear ocean]

maybe it works differently since its a new joker?

[wintry solar]

you aren't returning the repetitions

[chrome widget]

Seemingly still does nothing

Im more just curious why

[clear ocean]

oh OH

[void sparrow]

guys, what is the identifier in the new probabilty code? just another random seed or something else?
and i must replace "card" by my joker key?

[wintry solar]

oh it might be because you're using the removed context, I don't remember how the stacking works with them actually being deleted

[chrome widget]

It does run through the code at least yeah

[wintry solar]

the identifier is just a string that lets you know that that check is from your joker, I tend to use "modprefix_jokername". Card almost certainly remains as card

[knotty orchid]

What is the function to set rental to a joker?

[void sparrow]

okay thank you!

[wispy falcon]

bump

[chrome widget]

Specifically it's a custom context added here to run for each destroyed card individually

[knotty orchid]

or is it card.ability.rental = true?

[clear ocean]

the two things left until its done is the art and seeing if i can make something else then having a lowercase active

[daring fern]

SMODS.Stickers.rental:apply(card, true)

[next timber]

im still confused on how to take ownership of an atlas, nothing seems to be working :p

[knotty orchid]

And for perishables can I modify the rounds left?

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[knotty orchid]

Perishable jokers debuff after 5 rounds

can I modify the rounds left for a certain joker?

[daring fern]

Have you tried overwriting the atlas?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[next timber]

how do you mean? just making an atlas with the same name as the one im trying to replace?

[knotty orchid]

How can I do it?

[wintry solar]

you can also do card:add_sticker('rental', true)

[short girder]

how do blinds fetch hand score?

[daring fern]

Change card.ability.perish_tally

[daring fern]

G.GAME.chips?

[timid zinc]

why is dt 0 in my update function for my joker?

[crystal perch]

anyone know i could change a joker's price based on the sticker they have, similar to rental?
to my knowledge rental's hardcoded so idk how do do it myself

[daring fern]

Hook Card:set_cost()

[short girder]

isnt that total

i wanted to fetch like score per hand

[daring fern]

hand_chips*mult?

[crystal perch]

main thing is i want the sell value to always be $0, even disregarding effects from other jokers like giftcard

[short girder]

yeah let's do that

i thought there was like another way

but yeah let's do that

[daring fern]

Yes, you would hook it and set self.sell_cost = 0 after the old function runs.

[next timber]

this doesnt seem to be working

[daring fern]

And the label I think.

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to do raw_key = true

[next timber]

ah ok

still doesnt seem to be working

[frigid cargo]

how can i prevent legendaries and duplicates from spawning in packs?

create_card = function(self, card, i)
        local key = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Shape, 'booster_SGeo').key
        return { area = G.pack_cards, skip_materialize = true, soulable = false, key_append = "btct_ShapePack", key = key }
    end,

[short girder]

how do i fetch the hand debuffing in a calculate function

[red flower]

context.debuffed_hand? or what do you mean

[daring fern]

Code?

[next timber]

SMODS.Atlas {
  key = "Tarot",
  raw_key = true,
  px = 71,
  py = 95,
  path = "Tarots.png"
}

[short girder]

im trying to trigger the "not allowed!" from blinds inside a calculate context though i don't know if that's possible (since blinds take debuff = { argument = 'value' }})

actually do tables take higher than

[distant junco]

out of nowhere this code has started crashing in the collection?

[short girder]

no they dont

[rocky plaza]

G.GAME does not exist outside a run in the collection

[distant junco]

it wasnt crashing before tho

[rocky plaza]

were u in a run in the collection menu before

[distant junco]

no

[red flower]

context.debuff_hand then
check the blinds in vanillaremade, their contexts work for jokers

[distant junco]

well i know how to stop it crashing i was just confused lol

[rocky plaza]

G.playing cards also does not exist outside a run

[wispy falcon]

Is there a way to make a game over when a condition is met?

[next timber]

find the code that causes a game over and add your condition to the if condition

[red flower]

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

[short girder]

im not making a joker sorry i poorly worded it

[next timber]

or that

[frigid cargo]

Bump

[red flower]

oh then check the blinds in vremade anyway

they use the context

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/1618a7660d84a41efa2275e78b79a66e666400c8/src/blinds.lua#L352

[short girder]

okay got it

[next timber]

@daring fern

[short girder]

okay would this work (effect is Score must be positive for Sine in radians)

[distant junco]

is there a context thats basically just "is playing the game"

[short girder]

what do you mean

if you're in a run?

[distant junco]

yeah

[daring fern]

No, because you can't calculate the score before scoring.

[frigid cargo]

Like constant updating?

[red flower]

debuff_hand is before scoring sadly

[short girder]

ohhhh...

[red flower]

also it doesnt happen at the same time as press_play

[short girder]

well i guess the elegance is lost in this one then

[short girder]

yeah changed it to final_scoring_step

[red flower]

no

[frigid cargo]

What is that name 😭

[short girder]

this is a case for mods right cause this shit aint allowed

[red flower]

<@&1133519078540185692>

Why are we pinging mods multiple times
One suffices

They'll get there when they get here

[wintry solar]

this is the longest I've ever seen them take 😮

[distant junco]

oh my god

[knotty orchid]

is there any way to modify the tooltip that appears using info_queue?

[modern kindle]

Ive seen them take up to a few minutes, it happens sometimes D:

[knotty orchid]

I've only seen them one time and it took them like 2 secs

[karmic creek]

Truly one of the names of all time

[distant junco]

there we go

There he is

[frigid cargo]

Yay

[distant junco]

thanks mods

Def one of the names.

[short girder]

that was a name

Sorry I was in the shower okay mods are people AND we shower

[frigid cargo]

Thank you mods

[modern kindle]

Proof?

[red flower]

hmm

[frosty rampart]

mods taking that long actually gave me enough time to report the account
thanks mods

[distant junco]

did you have an answer or not hehe sozzers

[sturdy compass]

Doubt

[frigid cargo]

They do?

[modern kindle]

Proof that mods are people, not in the shower

[distant junco]

ok pal

[modern kindle]

Youre all secretly monsters i know it

[next timber]

im going to take it from the 🤔 reaction you have no clue how to solve this

[red flower]

im in here too much

[modern kindle]

I got this guy games so he wouldn't be in here and he wont even play em

If I was an LLM I would have got here quicker

Checkmate modtheists

[knotty orchid]

LLMs shower too man

[distant junco]

@grok is this true

@red flower confirmed you are a ping superstar btw

I see that ping I know

[polar tulip]

It's always N'

[karmic creek]

Oh yeah. This a good ping

[naive reef]

i was doing maths until 2am :( again

[exotic hedge]

I got the ping 5 minutes after it was sent

[red flower]

o7

[polar tulip]

This but it's N'

[red flower]

i shout like them

as far as I know I guess

            card.children.floating_sprite = Sprite(card.T.x, card.T.y, card.T.w, card.T.h, G.ASSET_ATLAS['maxboism_CustomEnhancements'], { x = 0, y = 0 })

            card.draw_bypass = {floating_sprite = true}
    end```
i feel like im almost getting set sprites, but i still cant get it to show up

wait hold up why are there mods here what happened

[frigid cargo]

Something happened

[karmic creek]

it’s mod chat dog

[polar tulip]

Praising @red flower

[celest aspen]

weird question since I was doing some testing with a buddy, does spawning in a joker via debugplus not prevent it from also showing up in the shop? I assume its just from that since the shop stuff should be handled by the game itself.

[naive reef]

i got told there was a free cookie

[willow scroll]

fair enough

[sturdy compass]

Mods in mod chat? Fork found in kitchen

[red flower]

thats correct, it doesnt set the flag

[wispy falcon]

Is there a way to keep a variable saved for the next time the calculate gets used or does it always reset to the base value I've set?

[exotic hedge]

The mod ping went through late on my end and happened to show up while everyone’s talking

[red flower]

you need to save it to the card's ability table

[polar tulip]

excuses

[red flower]

a local will reset

[distant junco]

chat, is there a context for being in a run

[wispy falcon]

How do I do that?

[wild escarp]

Anyone have an example of a joker that levels up multiple hands?

[red flower]

no, but G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN does the trick

[feral tree]

Is there a way to detect if you're playing with a specific deck?

[red flower]

card.ability.extra.variable = value

[distant junco]

config { = extra = { variable = 0 } }

card.ability.extra.variable = 0

[red flower]

G.GAME.selected_back.config.center.key == "b_key" iirc

[wispy falcon]

Does that work in Stickers too?

[red flower]

uhhh probably

[daring fern]

I think it's effect.center.key for decks.

[exotic hedge]

I PROMISE IT SHOWED UP LATE AGAIN

[red flower]

return { 
  level_up = true,
  level_up_hand = "High Card",
  extra = {
    level_up = true,
    level_up_hand = "Pair",
  }
}

etc

[exotic hedge]

I didn’t get that ping until just now

[next timber]

if anyone can help me figure out how to replace a vanilla atlas without using malverk they get a cameo joker in rascal

im desperate

[limber blaze]

the whole atlas or like

what do you wanna do here

[next timber]

i just wanna replace the texture of the atlas, taking ownership wont work idk why

[wintry solar]

why don't you want to use malverk 💔

[limber blaze]

G.ASSET_ATLAS[key] = reference_to_atlas should suffice probably maybe

lmk if thats secretly super janky

[next timber]

because i dont want a dependency for something that seems like it should be simple to do without

[limber blaze]

reference_to_atlas being something like
local my_atlas = SMODS.Atlas{...

[next timber]

id use malverk if this was like a fun optional thing but the updates to planet cards in my mod are gonna make the textures completely inaccurate in showing poker hands so id like that updated

[next timber]

i will try it

[limber blaze]

no idea if this is best practices or not

but it will probably work

[willow scroll]

you can always take ownership of each card one by one and change the atlas there

[next timber]

i mean like. rascal is held together with shoelaces and dreams

i think something that isnt best practise will be fine

lol

[wintry solar]

I see

what are you cahnging with planet cards?

[next timber]

rascal removes the entire concept of poker hands so im changing the planet card textures to show suits instead

[umbral zodiac]

what

[willow scroll]

the game is no longer crashing but raaah i cant see am i just doing the entire thing incorrectly?? i literally copied another mods method but tweaked it 😭

[willow scroll]

honestly fire

[next timber]

didsnt worked

[limber blaze]

damn

[next timber]

wait hang on i forgot to remove the raw_key property

lemme try that

unlikely to change much but who knows

yeah still no

WAIT IM DUM

i put Tarots instead of Tarot

[wispy falcon]

What are the things that I definetly need to define in SMODS.Sticker?

[daring fern]

key, and loc_txt or a localization entry.

[next timber]

still stioll didnts works

gonna try combining both previous attempts

[frosty rampart]

hey fun fact the documentation answers that :) https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Sticker

[next timber]

blegh

its weired because like. G.ASSET_ATLAS["Tarot"] is the atlas i want it to be. but its just not. showing up?

[wintry solar]

oh you want planets, right?

[next timber]

yeah

[wintry solar]

do Planet instead of Tarot

[next timber]

theyre on the same atlas though ??

ok sure i trust you

you literally made The Texture Mod

[wispy falcon]

Realized that too

[next timber]

well thats dumb

[wintry solar]

I don't know why we make planets and spectrals use these atlases

[next timber]

its beautiful

[wispy falcon]

Looks nice :O

What's the best way to test if my sticker works?

I don't understand how should_apply(self, card, center, area, bypass_roll) -> bool, apply(self, card, val) & draw(self, card, layer) work or what they do TwT

[willow scroll]

ok i dont think overriding the front was a good idea

[unborn bay]

should_apply is a boolean (truthy or falsy value is returned) that determines if the sticker should be applied on something
apply actually applies the sticker
draw draws the sticker

[wispy falcon]

And how do I use them?

[unborn bay]

apply and draw can generally be omitted

most stickers should just work as is out of the box without worrying about any of these

except for should_apply

which directly determines if the sticker is applicable

should_apply = function(self, card, center, area, bypass)
    if area == G.shop_jokers then
        return true
    end
    return false
end

this would mean that the sticker will always be applied if the card is on the shop for example

note ALWAYS

[wispy falcon]

Okay, so what do I do to make it work on only jokers?

[willow scroll]

clearly im doing some janky hack, is there a way to for me to get the same effect as here without replacing card.children.front? becausei want the rank and suit to still be visible (it should still overlay over the entire card)

[unborn bay]

stickers should only work on jokers by default anyway

[unborn bay]

use a custom drawstep

[wintry solar]

what are you trying to do?

[wispy falcon]

Oh, so I don't need to declare that somehow?

[faint yacht]

Sounds like something I came across when I was making an enhancement to no longer count its' own rank.

[daring fern]

How could one make a cards sprite a combination of other sprites, like half one sprite, and half the other?

[willow scroll]

i want to make an enhancement that overlays a sprite over the card (that is transparent), but still shows the rank and suit

[willow scroll]

noted, ill look into that

[clear ocean]

what do you think so far

[wispy falcon]

Got an error while I was testing...

    key = "death",
    config = { extra = { roundsTillDeath = 3, roundsWithSticker = 0 } },
    badge_colour = HEX '000000',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    default_compat = true,
    rate = 1.0,
    atlas = "death",
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    should_apply = function(self, card, center, area, bypass)
        if area == G.shop_jokers then
            return true
        end
        return false
    end,

    calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual then
            card.ability.extra.roundsWithSticker = card.ability.extra.roundsWithSticker + 1
            print(card.ability.extra.roundsWithSticker)
        end
    end
}```

[wispy falcon]

Looks really good :D

[wintry solar]

you need an apply function to set your values

I don't know why they aren't automatically done tbh

I will try and remember to fix that

[feral tree]

is there a way to make a joker reroll the boss blind?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wispy falcon]

Instead of config?

[feral tree]

what is it?

[wintry solar]

no, as well as config

[daring fern]

G.FUNCS.reroll_boss()

[red flower]

todo rename

[wispy falcon]

So I just write it again into apply?

[wintry solar]

that function is formatted awfully too

[daring fern]

‎

[wintry solar]

it is late and I should go to sleep, but this is not cursed, right?

[sturdy compass]

Is this duplicating an ability config’s values into the ability config???

[red flower]

shouldn't it use copy_table or something, i feel like this will break with table values

[wintry solar]

wtf why is apply used to add and remove stickers

[sturdy compass]

Lmao

[wintry solar]

it probably should, yeah

[feral tree]

looks like it spends a dollar everytime it rerolls, is there a way to do it without spending money?

[red flower]

set G.from_boss_tag to true

before calling it

[wispy falcon]

I don't get what I need to write into apply

[wintry solar]

don't

just wait

[wispy falcon]

Okay

[wintry solar]

there, download latest smods and you don't need an apply function

or wait a couple of days for a new release

[short girder]

folks, does this work

actually stupid question please stand by

[red flower]

v is a card not a number

[short girder]

oh shit how do i fetch the number then

[red flower]

number of what? the size of the hand?

[short girder]

rank

[red flower]

v:get_id() <= 5

[short girder]

gotcha

forgot that function existed

[red flower]

and you would probably need v:get_id() >= 2 too

[unkempt thicket]

How can i make a certain card selectable in hand (like the player can select as many as these as they want but not other cards that don't meet those specifics)?

[wispy falcon]

I did and I still get that same error

[frigid cargo]

Bump

[red flower]

why are you using psuedorandom_element instead of using set?

[short girder]

how do i check a card's modifiers(if it has an enhancement, an edition, a seal or extra chips/mult)?

[daring fern]

if next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card)) or card.edition or card:get_seal() or (card:get_chip_bonus() > card.base.nominal) or (card:get_chip_mult() > 0)

[short girder]

thanks somethingcom515!

[short girder]

btw, what does SMODS.get_enhancements(card) return when a card has no enhancement?

[faint yacht]

A table with keys of enhancements that the card has... or does not.

[daring fern]

An empty table.

[rapid stag]

question - if i wanted to process a string like "{s:0.8,C:red}test text" into localised text the same way the game does, how can i do that?

[manic rune]

is this for UI, or

[manic rune]

u want to use loc_parse_string first, then use SMODS.localize_box me think

[frigid cargo]

Slr
Idk, somethingcom gave me code so i just used it

[clear ocean]

what do you think of this?

[manic rune]

looks clean

[red flower]

try set = "Shape" instead of key

[clear ocean]

and this is one reason why i draw in 1x first.

[willow scroll]

SMODS.DrawStep {
    key = 'sand_overlay',
    order = 75,
    func = function(self, layer)
        if SMODS.has_enhancement(self, 'm_maxboism_sand') then
            self.children.sand_overlay = Sprite(self.T.x, self.T.y, self.T.w, self.T.h, G.ASSET_ATLAS['maxboism_CustomEnhancements'], { x = 0, y = 0 })
            self.children.sand_overlay.states.hover = self.states.hover
            self.children.sand_overlay.states.click = self.states.click
            self.children.sand_overlay.states.drag = self.states.drag
            self.children.sand_overlay.states.collide.can = false
            self.children.sand_overlay.role.draw_major = self
            self.children.sand_overlay:draw(self, layer)
        end
    end,
    conditions = { vortex = false, facing = 'front' },
}

im not doing them correctly, im crashing because of the draw but if i dont have the draw it wont render raah

[clear ocean]

do you think this is good like am i ready to set up the atlas and finish up before pulling it to main

did i cook

i can try odd todd real quick to see since someone said it should retrigger all jokers and vampire too

[candid elbow]

Lucky 7s

Very cool

[frigid cargo]

Ok ill try, the main problem tho is legendaries still spawning how do i prevent that?

[red flower]

i think you need to set the rarities in your objecttype but i dont know how exactly

[clear ocean]

i am thinking on letting it be blueprint/brainstorm compatable but should it only retrigger if its a lucky card?

all i can think of apply a simple lighting similar to oops

[frigid cargo]

Mmmm i see, thanks tho

[rocky plaza]

hmm
someone told me the myth cards from prism and the myth cards in my mod were shown together in the same spots in the collection menu
Would i have to rename my consumable type to something else to prevent this or is there another way?

[rotund sable]

I don't think ConsumableType gets automatically prefixed with the modprefix

[rocky plaza]

ah so i will have to prefix my consumable type myself then
the localization file is gonna look so dumb 💀

hmm
I think another thematic word that could describe the set is "Artifact"

[clear ocean]

what do you think

[final jewel]

Im trying to get the rank of the first held in hand card before the hand start to score

[clear ocean]

okay last balancing thing: should the lucky seven only trigger lucky or all sevens

[plain ember]

Guys, how does merge_effects work again?

evening evening btw

[red flower]

SMODS.merge_effects({ret1 or {}, ret2 or {}}) where ret1 and ret2 are two calculation returns

[plain ember]

oh, so you can't add three of them

interesting, thanks!

[red flower]

you can add as many as you want

[plain ember]

ah

rlly?

[red flower]

that was just an example

[plain ember]

I have this, but for some reason printing it up doesn't grab the message nor the rest of the last stuff

maybe i'm doing something wrong?

[red flower]

that table needs to be inside another table

[willow scroll]

damn i think im doing something wrong with my Drawstep because my :draw(self, layer) is giving a crash related to setcolor arugment being nil

[red flower]

it takes tables of return tables

[willow scroll]

and i have no clue why, all the examples I see use draw

[frigid cargo]

oh i remember why its set to key, its cause stickers wont show up on higher difficulty

[plain ember]

Oh, ill try hold on

[red flower]

hmm no idea, that sounds like something that create_card should maybe be able to handle

i can look into it tomorrow to PR it to smods

[plain ember]

Still doesnt get the messages

[red flower]

what's results here

[plain ember]

This is the setup, i'm trying to force activation on both jokers

[plain ember]

No message nor effect gets applied to the joker (leaf)

[red flower]

I think you need to pass results.jokers

[red flower]

i mean the variable

[plain ember]

oh

Force trigger returns an calculation table

[red flower]

can you send what the print gives with results.jokers and results1.jokers

in merge_effects

[plain ember]

sure

[rocky plaza]

yo do i have to mess with custom ui to be able to dynamically change the amount of text on a card
I want to make a spectral card give all cards eternal, but if you currently own a joker that is incompatible with eternal, i want the card to additionally say that it destroys all jokers incompatible with eternal

[red flower]

you can have 2 different descriptions in a localization file and switch between them using key in loc_vars

or look at invisible joker for the ui method

[plain ember]

Both return a card and mult_mod = 4

[red flower]

there seem to still be a jokers table inside it

can i see the code

[plain ember]

That's in the ["extra"]

results["extra"]

[red flower]

why is there jokers in the extra table

[plain ember]

Lemme send you the code

[red flower]

is this some cryptid jank

[plain ember]

Yeah

[modern kindle]

it says cryptid.forcetrigger smh

[plain ember]

Tbh i'm just making a bunch of random stuff to test how does the enviroment works

[red flower]

no i mean i know this is cryptid, i just dont know if the jank comes from cryptid

[plain ember]

SMODS.Joker {

    calculate = function(self, card, context)

        
        if context.joker_main and not context.blueprint then

                    if Cryptid.demicolonGetTriggerable(G.jokers.cards[i + 1])[1] then
                        local results = Cryptid.forcetrigger(G.jokers.cards[i + 1], context)
                        local resultsl = Cryptid.forcetrigger(G.jokers.cards[i - 1], context)
                        if (results or resultsl) and (results.jokers or resultsl.jokers) then

                                        message = "SPIN!",
                                        colour = G.C.RARITY.cry_epic,
                                        sound = "testplora_smb3-tail",
                                    }
                                }
                            )
                            print("\n"..dumpster(results,1).."\n^^^^results^^^^")
                            print("\n"..dumpster(resultsl,1).."\n^^^^resultsL^^^^")

                            return merged_effect
                        end

                            message = "tf is this",
                            colour = G.C.RARITY.cry_epic,
                            sound = "testplora_smb3-tail",
                        }
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end,
}

[rocky plaza]

if i want to use the loc_vars and key method, i would do something like

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  local k = "normal"
  if has_incompatible_joker() then -- pretend this exists
    k = "destroy"
  end
  return {key = k}
end

right?
then how would i format it in a localization file?

[plain ember]

tbh this is straight stolen from demicolon joker, i'm just trying to see if i can make it work

[daring fern]

‎

[red flower]

I meant this

local merged_effect = SMODS.merge_effects(
    { results.jokers or {} },
    { resultsl.jokers or {} },
    {
        {
            message = "SPIN!",
            colour = G.C.RARITY.cry_epic,
            sound = "testplora_smb3-tail",
        }
    }
)

[plain ember]

A

Lemme try

[red flower]

I would just do return {key = has_incompatible_joker() and "j_modprefix_key_2" or nil} and then you add an entry for j_modprefix_key_2 that's the same as the original but with the extra line

[rocky plaza]

alr seems fair enough

[plain ember]

Awesome

Thanks N

[red flower]

np

[final jewel]

How do I get the amount of card held in hand like I tried .length and .count and those doesnt work

[red flower]

#G.hand.cards

[final jewel]

oh yeah

[clear ocean]

scaled the seven

[red flower]

also

[modern kindle]

bit of a long shot but do any of you guys happen to know how to access the gpu of a steam deck? i dont have a steam deck so i have no idea how to even look at it to see what its gpu is

my gpu joker dont work for steamdeck so trying to figure that out

[clear ocean]

is it able to work on linux pcs?

[final jewel]

It's lua, I was thinking about C#

[modern kindle]

as far as i know yea, im gonna be having a friend of mine retest it

[clear ocean]

i can retest it for you since im on linux but i don't have a steam deck

i do have a 3ds and vita and stuff but not a deck unfortunately

[modern kindle]

hi smt i see u thinkin

[final jewel]

I am learning to many language at the same time 😭

[clear ocean]

i have a love hate relationship with c#

[final jewel]

same

I hate it because of school I think

[clear ocean]

i think i honestly much prefer it. it fits well with the other jokers

finally the final test

it is fair to say it is completed

[frigid cargo]

how do i use pseudorandom_probability?

[plain ember]

Bro, this thing is Broken as hell with the correct cards (super leaf) XD

I'm glad it works now

[modern kindle]

I cant even tell what is visually happening

[clear ocean]

what is going on with the zigzag

[plain ember]

Super leaf forces the triggering of the joker at its side, so its triggering joker and the M card

1 in 4 of spawning unusual jolly jokers

[frosty rampart]

cryptid, that's the "jolly" edition (the edition gives +8 mult and makes the joker count as Jolly Joker for the purposes of any other joker that synergizes with them. cryptid has a lot of those synergies because of an inside joke)

[mystic river]

anyone know how you'd go about making a joker with "debuffed cards always score (splash) and give x2 mult"? context.modify_scoring_hand and context.other_card.debuff don't seem to work, on account of the card being debuffed

[faint yacht]

Card:can_calculate hook?

[mystic river]

hmm, maybe

[faint yacht]

Or patch, as this is a small one with a clear target.

function Card:can_calculate(ignore_debuff, ignore_sliced)
    local is_available = (not self.debuff or ignore_debuff) and (not self.getting_sliced or ignore_sliced)
    -- TARGET : Add extra conditions here
    return is_available
end

[mighty kiln]

this is my code to try to select a random joker, then retrigger said random joker. It has no problem selecting the joker, but dosent retrigger it

im trying to use this to retrigger the joker

[mystic river]

i would use debugplus to check that the other joker is in fact getting stored in card.joker as intended, because that seems unusual

oh that's what the print is for i guess?

[mighty kiln]

it is, because it prints the selected joker and it prints the information of it fine

[mighty kiln]

the problem is that I dont know what the problem is

[mystic river]

okay, my next thought would be to put a print inside the if context.retrigger_joker_check ... block to see whether the problem is that this block isn't being reached or that this return doesn't work

[mighty kiln]

ok

sidenote

i think the card backs i made look really good

[mystic river]

that is very good

[mighty kiln]

i printed a message in the context retrigger block and its not printing so

[daring fern]

Try: ```lua
if context.press_play and next(G.jokers.cards) then
card.joker = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, 'seed').sort_id
end
if context.after then
card.joker = nil
end
if context.retrigger_joker_check and card.joker and context.other_card.sort_id == card.joker then
return {repetitions = 1}
end

[rapid stag]

ok, so i've worked out that loc_parse_string will break the string up into individual parts of the line and the modifiers that should apply to those parts, but i don't know how to use SMODS.localize_box with that

[clear ocean]

is it safe in the long run to delete these kind of branches

[mighty kiln]

i believe this is formatted properly but tell me if its not

[daring fern]

It looks fine.

[mystic river]

i think since you're already storing .sort_id in the first block, you want to compare to card.joker in the last block

[mighty kiln]

that didnt work

is it because card.joker = nil

[mystic river]

i believe context.after happens. after. context.retrigger_joker_check so that shouldn't be the issue?

[daring fern]

Try again, I fixed it.

[mighty kiln]

can i print the joker that was picked then make it nil

[mystic river]

well, it's only storing the sort_id and not the whole joker
but you can certainly print that before clearing it

[mighty kiln]

still dosent work

did you change it?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[mighty kiln]

elaborate, would i need to store more then the sort_id to retrigger it

[daring fern]

No.

[mystic river]

the sort_id is only being used to check whether you've got the right joker

[mighty kiln]

but i dont think its reaching the retrigger context at all

[mystic river]

what does the if check in the final block currently look like?

[daring fern]

Do you have retriggers enabled?

[mystic river]

card.joker is currently storing exactly the target joker's sort_id

[daring fern]

Yes, I fixed that, use the new code.

[mystic river]

so you want context.other_card.sort_id == card.joker

[mighty kiln]

how would i know?

[mystic river]

did you actively enable the optional feature of joker retriggers in your mod

if you didn't, the answer is no

[mighty kiln]

no. How would i do that

[daring fern]

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

[mighty kiln]

in the main script or deck script

[mighty kiln]

main im guessing

[mystic river]

main script
this is for the whole mod

[daring fern]

No, outside of anything.

[mystic river]

for me it's line 12 of the main file

after only some other very basic initialization

[mighty kiln]

i have it in line 10 of main.lua

[mystic river]

before anything even loads

i think as long as it gets set somewhere in your mod files, it's fine
but earlier is easier to keep track of

[mighty kiln]

it crashed

[mighty kiln]

normally i can kinda make since of crash logs but this one just looks like gibberish

[mystic river]

INFO - [G] 2025-08-06 22:03:41 :: ERROR :: StackTrace :: Oops! The game crashed
main.lua:1925: [SMODS construction-deck-mod "./data/decks/construction.lua:21: attempt to index field 'joker' (a number value)

you're trying to get sort_id.sort_id in the final if check

don't do that

[mighty kiln]

ok

how do i fix that

[rapid stag]

really confused on how to use localize_box

[crystal perch]

any idea why the use function of this card is throwing this error?

right now i just care about it creating a negative copy of the selected joker

[mighty kiln]

so just get rid of the part that says sort_id

[daring fern]

Yes, G.jokers.highlighted is a table of jokers.

[ripe jacinth]

has anyone here developed w the partners mod

[mystic river]

yes
in that one specific spot only, to be clear

[mighty kiln]

like this

[mystic river]

nope

[lament agate]

can i hook into this to mess with their trigger order?

[mystic river]

you want context.other_card.sort_id == card.joker

[mighty kiln]

ohh

ok

[ripe jacinth]

anyone know how to make a partner?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[mystic river]

context.other_card.sort_id is a sort_id
card.joker is also a sort_id
you want to compare apples to apples

[ripe jacinth]

h o w

[rapid stag]

you haven't indexed the highlighted table. you're just trying to copy the whole table.

also, you can only ever select one joker, so you don't need to iterate through G.jokers.highlighted, you can just check if it exists and has a length of one, then copy G.jokers.highlighted[1]

[daring fern]

No, you would have to patch for that probably.

[crystal perch]

yes well i would like it to be potentially increased by other mods

[daring fern]

Yes.

[mighty kiln]

ok

[crystal perch]

i see

[ripe jacinth]

can anyone teach me how to make a partner?

i heard from aiko they were made like jokers

[daring fern]

Try looking at other mods that do it.

[mighty kiln]

it works.

thank you and i love you both

[ripe jacinth]

why am i so dumb

mfw i have a hard time reading code

[mighty kiln]

i ask myself that question every day

[lament agate]

which one should i patch

[mighty kiln]

it does retrigger the same joker every time though

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[daring fern]

Try looking at TOGAPack because that mod has a deck that reverses trigger order.

[mighty kiln]

i currently have 3 jokers, the chip one for flushes, the mult one for flushes, and the chip one for pairs. I made sure that the 3 hands i played had both a flush and a pair. it retriggered the flush chip one 3 times in the 3 hands i played

actually nevermind i was unlucky

i played another hand and it chose the pair one

tysm both of you

but also it crashed

[daring fern]

I cant find a crash log in this log.

[frigid cargo]

how do i info key jokers?

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[subtle merlin]

Question that may be really hard to answer quickly: how could I make a new menu pop up after selecting the deck and stake?
(If not possible as of rn then just adding a button that makes the same menu pop up to the start screen should suffice)

[frigid cargo]

mb i worded that horribly
i want to put on the side of a jokers description what another joker does

[mighty kiln]

does the retrigger feature already check if the joker is able to be retriggered? or should i check if the joker is blueprint compatible

[mystic river]

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS[joker key]

in your loc_vars

[daring fern]

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.j_modprefix_key in loc_vars

[daring fern]

No, it just retriggers a random joker.

All jokers are able to be retriggered.

Some jokers don't do things that are retriggerable though.

[mighty kiln]

I think i will add the check

also what is the variable for the number of jokers the player has

[mystic river]

#G.jokers.cards i believe

[frigid cargo]

ok thanks i was just wondering how to add the joker key thanks

[mighty kiln]

how would i write a check to see if the joker number is greater then 0 because the one i wrote crashes

[daring fern]

if context.press_play and next(G.jokers.cards) then

[mystic river]

you're short an end there, i believe

[frigid cargo]

how do i check if [i] is a joker?

[pastel kernel]

I need to make a consumable that lets me choose a card from the collection and emplaces it in the shop at full price

[daring fern]

if [i].ability.set == 'Joker'

[frigid cargo]

thanks

[pastel kernel]

I should probably copy the code of open to lan

[foggy ginkgo]

How do I make blind debuff consumables

[faint yacht]

In set_blind, iterate over held consumables and debuff.

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.consumeables.cards) do
    SMODS.debuff_card(v, true, self.key)
end

[frigid cargo]

underweardetection = 0 
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if [i].ability.set == 'j_btct_Underwear' then
                underweardetection = underweardetection + 1
            end
        end

what did i do wrong? its just red

[daring fern]

G.jokers.cards[i]

[ripe jacinth]

does anyone here call jokers "jonklers" or is it just me

[daring fern]

Also you should be using SMODS.find_card

[faint yacht]

if context.check_enhancement and context.no_blueprint and context.other_card and context.other_card:is_face() and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
    return { m_stone = true }
end

seems to be crashing me...

[frigid cargo]

oh i see thanks

[daring fern]

Yes, you can't use Card:is_face() in context.check_enhancement

[pastel kernel]

How does open to lan work?

[faint yacht]

-# There goes the intended shtick for a Joker--

[frigid cargo]

how can i destroy a specific joker? would i go through the joker table and check if joker is the specific joker?

[daring fern]

Yes, but you can do if SMODS.Ranks[context.other_card.base.value].face

[clear ocean]

@red flower any way to make your modded jokers to work with your display mod?

[faint yacht]

That wouldn't let Pareidolia influence it...

[pastel kernel]

I need help with understanding the spectral card of yahimod that is “open to lan”

[clear ocean]

like you want to make your own or how to use it?

[pastel kernel]

It’s a card that lets you spawn a card of your choice

[clear ocean]

yeah i seen the video and played the mod myself, i like yahi's stuff

[pastel kernel]

But the way it does it is different from pointer

[foggy ginkgo]

How do I debuff a certain tarot card

[pastel kernel]

Instead of taking you directly to the collection, you have to go there and press enter on your chosen card.

[faint yacht]

oops.

[foggy ginkgo]

Classic

[stiff locust]

the of

• chips

[daring fern]

Yes, but you could check for that.

[pastel kernel]

I’m trying to make a similar card called Wishlist but instead of directly getting it, you have to buy it at the shop full price (doubles price with every use), and it sets your money to zero.

[clear ocean]

hm.

honestly i think wishlist would be more like

[stiff locust]

look at the code for the uncommon/rare tags

they put jokers in the shop for a set price (free)

[clear ocean]

you have a higher chance to get it but you have to buy it full price even with vouchers

[pastel kernel]

Yes, that’s the idea

[frigid cargo]

bump

[pastel kernel]

And when you get it, it never shows up in the shop again

[stiff locust]

yeah

[frigid cargo]

ok thanks

[pastel kernel]

Useful for blacklisting common jokers from the shop.

What do you think is the best upper limit of the price?

I think it’s 1 billion.

Ok I still need to make it work somehow.

Even if it’s unbalanced.

[faint yacht]

...well, this 'lads happy.

[foggy ginkgo]

Yummy

[faint yacht]

Just... not sure how to work around the rank and suit not being rendered because a card is considered as Stone too.

[pastel kernel]

ali

have you ever made code for a consumable that works like pointer or open to lan?

[faint yacht]

I've not gone that far, no.

[pastel kernel]

damn

[foggy ginkgo]

How do I debuff certain tarot cards

[stiff locust]

ali have you ever bought splash from your shop

[formal quest]

Why is this activating on the cards held in hand at the end of the round? This is only supposed to activate on the joker itself

[pastel kernel]

how can i make a wishlist mechanical card if i can't make it spawn any card from the collection of my choice? that's like the whole point of wishlist.

[faint yacht]

I have, yes. Helpful against Joystick.

[timid zinc]

how do i get the current number of hands

[void sparrow]

i'm making a joker that retriggers every joker for every 5 dollars you own, what did i do wrong?

[faint yacht]

Wrap the result in to_number.

[faint yacht]

G.GAME.current_round.hands_left

[void sparrow]

thnk you!!!

[unborn bay]

Note on to_number and to_big related checks: these are talisman related and will not exist when talisman is nonexistent

[timid zinc]

thank you!

[stiff locust]

add dummy functions for them so it doesnt crash without talisman

[unborn bay]

to_number = to_number or function(a) return a end
to_big = to_big or function(a) return a end

can we just abolish talisman already. thx

[stiff locust]

we need our score cap removal

[vernal path]

i outright do not support it and never plan to

[unborn bay]

good

[stiff locust]

i feel like nowadays you dont have much choice but to support talisman

[tall wharf]

haya

[vernal path]

my mod is supposed to be balanced for 8 antes, there is no reason to even think about supporting it

[tall wharf]

do you not just have this kinda utility function lying around for no reason

[stiff locust]

what

[faint yacht]

Adjusted hook somewhat...

[vernal path]

hehehe != support is very funny to me

mostly because its what lua should use anyway but they decided not to for no goddamned reason

[tall wharf]

(as in !=)

[pearl jacinth]

what does no id was provided mean

[vernal path]

ofc

[formal quest]

This code is supposed to add the hand name to a table if it's not already in the table. Why is it allowing repeats?

[frosty rampart]

table.insert inserts a value, not a key (it auto-sets the key to a number, starting at 1 and increasing normally). but your condition treats the scoring name as a key, not a value

[wild escarp]

How do I get the name of a played hand?

[frosty rampart]

context.scoring_name in pretty much any context as long as the context is during a hand scoring (e.g. context.before, context.individual, etc)

[frigid cargo]

whats the line for destroying a specific joker in the joker table?

[clear ocean]

sorry that i didnt do the dreamcast one as i tried several times and couldn't get the perspective down

[pastel kernel]

i should probably color it lime like i promised

i still don't know how to code in the main function of the card though.

[clear ocean]

if anyone does want to give making it a vmu i genuinely would appreciate it

[void sparrow]

question:
does the 'Joker' rarity pool update with modded rarities or you must create a new pool?

[pearl jacinth]

question

[formal quest]

Why is this not spawning a black hole with blueprint?

if #card.ability.extra.hands... etc is the only condition for the card spawn event, and I'm testing it with both consumable slots free

[wild escarp]

I think I've got a skeleton of this joker, but I'd like to upgrade any unplayed hands (currently it upgrades played hands), and it also adds played hands to the table multiple times, so they get levelled up multiple times (maybe not an issue once it upgrades unplayed hands). There's also the issue of numbers being left over from the level up animation (not a big deal, they get erased when another hand is selected).

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.before and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
        card.ability.extra.scored_hands[#card.ability.extra.scored_hands+1] = context.scoring_name
    end

    if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval and card.ability.extra.scored_hands and not context.blueprint then
        for i = 1, #card.ability.extra.scored_hands do
            level_up_hand(card, card.ability.extra.scored_hands[i])
        end
        card.ability.extra.scored_hands = {}
    end
end

[pastel kernel]

I actually had the time to make this 😭

this is a mechanical card that lets you put any card into the shop and buy it

[timid zinc]

is there a defined context or piece of code for seals triggering?

[placid frigate]

hey I have a challenge that I only want to use 1 joker in (one you get at the beggining) but when I go into the shop I can still buy other Jokers how do I fix this?

[pastel kernel]

The main idea is that this pulls out the collection and if you click on a card, it places it into the voucher slots at full price.

It disappears when you don’t buy it and leave the shop.

The card only works when you’re in the shop.

[gleaming crescent]

I guees you can set G.GAME.joker_rate = 0

[pastel kernel]

Ok first off, I need to make the card pull out the collection.

What do I do to make that?

[frigid cargo]

Is it possible to animate soul?

[placid frigate]

would you just put that in SMODS.Challenge?

[gleaming crescent]

Oh

You can place custom = {{ id = 'no_shop_jokers' },} inside of your rules

[glass scaffold]

How do I make a custom deck start with a Joker?

[gleaming crescent]

Spawn it with an event

[gleaming crescent]

Also you should add other restrictions

[glass scaffold]

thanks

[mystic river]

how do you info_queue a sticker? they're not in G.P_CENTERS and none of the obvious alternatives i could find worked

[gleaming crescent]

What do you mean?

[daring fern]

Have you tried SMODS.Stickers.modprefix_key?

[mystic river]

yep, didn't work

[gleaming crescent]

info_queue[#1116390750314307698_queue + 1] = { key = "<sticker>", set = "Other" }

[pastel kernel]

what does this mean?

G.FUNCS.overlay_menu({ definition = create_UIBox_your_collection() })

[gleaming crescent]

Also, this method requires localization files

[daring fern]

That function will create the collection UI

[velvet ingot]

very new to modding, how would I make a joker that gains X1 mult everytime a hermit card is used?

[pastel kernel]

do i have to manually code in the definition?

[glass scaffold]

So apparently eternal = true doesn't work to make a Joker spawn in as Eternal. Anyone know how to do that?

[faint yacht]

if context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable.config.center.key == 'c_hermit' then
  card.ability.extra.xmult = (card.ability.extra.xmult or 1) + 1
end

if context.joker_main then return { xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult } end

[frigid cargo]

Is it possible to animate soul?

[velvet ingot]

thanks!

[placid frigate]

just tried this thank it it works

[faint yacht]

SMODS.add_card({ key = "j_prefix_key", stickers = { "eternal" } })

[frigid cargo]

Like not the background but the front soul instead

[mystic river]

instead of eternal = true (boolean), do stickers = { "eternal" } (table of keys)

[faint yacht]

card.children.floating_sprite:set_sprite_pos({x = 0, y = 0}) -- change x and y values accordingly.

[vernal path]

Okay, i've got this idea for a joker but i have no idea what to even start researching for
Basically, when you play a hand, a random card from your deck is also played, and should count in the hand (i.e. if you play a flush of AKQJ7 and play a 10 as well it counts as a straight flush).

What do I even go looking for in smods or lovely dumps?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[velvet ingot]

what should I use to edit my code? (i'm on mac btw)

[vernal path]

vscode, probably

[faint yacht]

...well, the drawing part before the final scoring poker hand is determined is already something I've been doing with Notification enhancement and Solitaire Joker.

[vernal path]

im not aware of a better program. Although Kate is pretty good, if there's a mac version

[pastel kernel]

Like, add their functions and everything?

[frigid cargo]

Oh dayum ok, how would i put that in this (if this was a joker for example)?

--EvilDeckAnimation
local btct = {ticks = (5)}
local upd = Game.update
local btct_DEvil_dt = 0
function Game:update(dt)
    upd(self, dt)
    local DEvilobj = G.P_CENTERS.b_btct_DEvil
    btct_DEvil_dt = btct_DEvil_dt + dt
    if DEvilobj and btct_DEvil_dt > 0.1 then
            btct_DEvil_dt = btct_DEvil_dt - 0.1
            if DEvilobj.pos.x > 28 then 
                DEvilobj.pos.x = 0 
            else
                DEvilobj.pos.x = DEvilobj.pos.x + 1
            end
    end
    for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do
        if v.children.back and v.children.back.atlas == G.ASSET_ATLAS["btct_DEvilAtlas"] then
            v.children.back:set_sprite_pos(G.P_CENTERS.b_btct_DEvil.pos or G.P_CENTERS["b_red"].pos)
        end
    end
end

[mystic river]

context.modify_scoring_hand is relevant to your interests

[vernal path]

https://kate-editor.org/get-it/ Kate is pretty good, although the setup for the LUA lsp does suck.
https://code.visualstudio.com/download vscode is what probably a majority of people who mod balatro use, because its free and easy

[frosty rampart]

if you're gonna use vscode use vscodium
https://vscodium.com/

[faint yacht]

I have one that has a steady animation of the card itself... you could adapt this to be on the soul instead.

[vernal path]

it helps to read things 👍

[frigid cargo]

I think i figured it out but i wont be sure till tomorrow cause i cant test rn, thanks for the advice and help!

[lament agate]

is there a way to instantly fail a run

[vernal path]

end_round() i think, possibly

maybe in an event

[lament agate]

got it

is there any mods that adds achievements?

[vernal path]

aikoyori, a couple others. we were chatting about it in modding-chat

[gleaming crescent]

Cryptid

[stiff locust]

the real question is

[vernal path]

where did he get the cup of tea

[stiff locust]

is there any mod that adds achievements whose creator is also okay with x person taking the whole system

and putting it in their mod

[vernal path]

answer: he's the doctor, just accept it

[stiff locust]

because otherwise the rules prevent you from ripping an achivement system from another mod

[lament agate]

what rules

[lament agate]

got it

[mystic river]

those rules

[stiff locust]

5th rule

[lament agate]

oh

@red flower can you make like

Achievements

in Vremade

[mystic river]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Achievement this is already a thing, for the record
though i don't know how much it actually, like, does, in terms of Achieving

the little trophy on the side at least, i imagine

[lament agate]

no examples, only explanation

thats for sure

[frigid cargo]

But if i just get inspiration of a code and do it my way without copying anything, do i just credit them for the idea? Or do i still have to follow rule 5?

[stiff locust]

pov: entire smods wiki

it doesn

it doesn't seem tooo bad

lemme see if i can get it to work

[lament agate]

i might check out Cryptid for achievements

[stiff locust]

what does this mean

i'm very confused

[lament agate]

why is it all local

this is why i dont look at cryptid

[stiff locust]

if the key for the achievement was test would it be

"misc" = {
 "achievement_names" = {
  "test" = {
   "Name" = "test"
  }
 }
}

or

"misc" = {
 "achievement_names_test" = {
   "Name" = "test"
 }
}

[lament agate]

in localization?

[stiff locust]

in localization

i use a separate localization file

[wintry solar]

Probably ```
misc = {
achievement_names = {
test = "Name"
}
}

I’d have to check the code though

[vernal path]

is there any documentation for this, do you know, lol

[mystic river]

uhhhhhhhhhh probably somewhere, but i can't navigate the smods wiki at all so i literally just search code for stuff
but for an example here's how i use that context for one of my jokers

        --Force flipped and debuffed cards into play
        if context.modify_scoring_hand and not context.blueprint and context.other_card and (context.other_card.debuff or context.other_card.facing == "back") then
            return {
                add_to_hand = true,
            }
        end

you'd want to enable the optional feature to use the deck as a scoring area, pick a card at random, and do that when your randomly-selected card is context.other_card

[olive hamlet]

Hi, i was just wondering, has anyone made like a chart or something explaining code terms? Im kinda new in programming, but i dont know wth does G.C. or "for [i] = 1 ~=10" means

[vernal path]

consider doing a programming beginner course and looking at the lua manual https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/

[olive hamlet]

Thanks bro

[gleaming crescent]

How do I make joker unlock upon obtaining a specific consumable?

I mean, this is obviously a lovely patch, but what do I have to modify?

[vernal path]

oh, also https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html

[olive hamlet]

Alright thx

[vernal path]

Okay, here's where I'm at:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.modify_scoring_hand and not context.blueprint then
        local c = pseudorandom_element(G.deck.cards, "mystery_play")
        if context.other_card and context.other_card == c then
            return {
                add_to_hand = true,
                message = localize("k_mystery")
            }
        end
    end
end```
I doesn't work :(
I know its never entering the second `if` block and i have no idea why. I could instead get like, `sort_id`?

[pastel kernel]

Diagram for wishlist

[velvet ingot]

how can I get error messages while writing the code instead of having to run the mod?

[vernal path]

The only thing an editor can do is tell you if you screwed up syntax or, occaisionally, what type something should be, since lua is an interpreted language

basically it means theres literally no way to test stuff without running it fully

[vernal path]

@mystic river do you notice any glaring issues with this? besides renaming my local variable to not be "card"

(already fixed that bit, lol)

oh, i also fixed G.deck to include .cards

[mystic river]

it's rerolling the card every time it calculates, which is approximately several dozen times per action
you want to store the result somewhere more permanent than that and only reroll when you need to

[vernal path]

oh hm

is modify_scoring_hand before or after before?

[mystic river]

not sure
you could do science and find out though

[vernal path]

that is true

[faint yacht]

Before before.

[vernal path]

dang, really?

uhhhh

hm

[vernal path]

oh, yeah hm

Well, then the question becomes how do i choose a card in advance of seemingly the most advance thing

well, hm

[signal slate]

Doing some stuff, Ima dump some screenshots of the mod I'm making

[mystic river]

if context.modify_scoring_hand and not card.ability.target then card.ability.target = pseudorandom_element(etc etc I'm typing on a phone and don't have things memorized)

[vernal path]

wait, wouldn't other_card never go to G.deck? its just looking at G.play

[mystic river]

that's why you need to activate that one smods feature

[wintry solar]

No

[vernal path]

oh, does that mean it indexed g.deck too? I figured it just means it also lets you do that but doesnt change functionality

[wintry solar]

Other card isn’t to do with card areas

[vernal path]

but it is? other_card = G.play.cards[i]?

does that not mean what i think it means

like, isn't that just indexing G.play.cards? Or does enabling the optional feature also tell the game to index G.deck.cards?

[strong halo]

they done put henry stickmin in the gambling video game

[vernal path]

if context.modify_scoring_hand and not card.ability.target then card.ability.target = pseudorandom_element(G.deck.cards, "mystery_play") end
if context.modify_scoring_hand and not context.blueprint then
    if context.other_card == card.ability.target then
        return {
            add_to_hand = true,
            message = localize("k_mystery")
        }
    end
end```
This never returns, despite a print clearly showing it *has* picked a card. I'm thinking `other_card` has not indexed the deck. It might be that im not enabling the feature correctly, since there's a pile of crumpled papers where there should be documentation
```lua
SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = {
    quantum_enhancements = true,
    cardareas = {deck = true}
}```

i tried cardareas.deck = true but it yelled at me for making a syntax error

after trying this: print(context.other_card.sort_id), it is more than obvious that it only indexes the played hand, and not the full deck.
It prints one number, a couple times. Not 40 some-odd numbers.

[stiff locust]

wouldtest have to use an object type prefix or a mod prefix or both or neither

[daring fern]

Yes, context.modify_scoring_hand is only called for cards in G.play

[vernal path]

Is this not the context in which i'd insert another card into the played hand?

[stiff locust]

if i had to guess you first have to insert the card into the hand

[faint yacht]

I add cards to hand even before modify_scoring_hand is called, I think.

[vernal path]

is there a context even before modify scoring hand?? Or do I just have to do a lovely patch

[faint yacht]

I technically do.

And that function is https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/be03c8e1a778cbc9ea6ba461cbacce6257d71a9a/togastuff.lua#L1119-L1159

[vernal path]

I thought i might try to do it before the hand is processed at all, but this doesn't appear to work. Do I just have to move it after the hand is processed? Or did I make some other mistake?

oh wait im stupid

[faint yacht]

...you should just call draw_card there. Better yet, just put a call to global function of yours that you can freely modify.

I mean the idea is that the game does that on its own, since im putting it before the draw loop

okay, what does the percent mean in draw_card?

[faint yacht]

Pitch of card drawn sound.

[vernal path]

oh, okay. I thought it might be how quickly it goes to the next part since it pauses there for about 4 seconds before finishing scoring really quickly

is this going through the entire deck a bunch of times?

if SMODS.find_card("j_mode_mystery") then
            draw_card(G.deck, G.play, 100, 'up', nil, pseudorandom_element(G.deck.cards, "mystery_play"))

what is happening or not happening?

[wispy falcon]

When I go into the Collection with all Stickers it shows this Error. But if I go over my mod and look on the additions, it doesn't crash

the crash log has useful information outside of the first line.

im tired tho, so im going to bed

[red flower]

this seems to be problem with the new commit, can u post the whole thing

[wispy falcon]

My bad, didn't know that

[red flower]

seems to be an smods bug to me

[wispy falcon]

Should I go back to the other smods version?

[red flower]

well if you go back you wont have the automatic apply thing

[wispy falcon]

So what now?

[red flower]

dont go to the collection and wait for the fix?

im checking if it's actually an smods thing

[wispy falcon]

Okay, thank you

[red flower]

yeah it is

[red flower]

@wintry solar it crashes if the sticker doesn't have a config

[wispy falcon]

Okay, I'm sure this error is because of my code. What did I do wrong?

[red flower]

i think it needs to be card.ability.modprefix_key.extra

[wispy falcon]

I did that and it now crashes with this

    key = "death",
    config = { extra = { roundsTillDeath = 3, roundsWithSticker = 0 } },

sj_death

[wispy falcon]

So card.ability.sj_death.extra.roundsWithSticker?

[wintry solar]

Modify scoring hand is to change which cards that are played score/dont score

Woops

[wispy falcon]

Nope, still crashes

I forgot that I changed my modprefix from sj to cstorm, sorry

this is what happens when i boot up my challenge. i just want to test my joker 😭

[paper citrus]

I'm having trouble setting up the atlas for my mod

I tried following what is on the SMODS documentation, but no matter what I try the game crashes while loading

I might be doing something wrong with the path thing

[red flower]

What's the crash?

and the code

[paper citrus]

gimme a sec

[rotund sable]

Are you sure the atlas key in the joker is correct
Are you using animated atlas for jokers

[slim ferry]

just use debugplus to spawn in your joker instead of making a challenge

[paper citrus]

the atlas key is correct

SMODS.Atlas {
    key = "ch_jokers",
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
    path = "CharlatanJokers.png"
}```

I think it's the path that's the problem

[amber halo]

guys im trying to install cryptid but, when i install all the mod and that i get in game, there is NO mod

[red flower]

it says thats its trying to look for a subfolder

[amber halo]

tho there is lovely command prompt

[red flower]

try asking in #⚙・modding-general

[amber halo]

okay

[paper citrus]

hold on a sec

aight now the game loads and gets to the new screen

(I moved the atlas code to my assets folder in a separate lua file)

but if I try to view my jokers in collection it crashes

[red flower]

it doesn't seem to be loading the atlas anymore

the code doesn't need to be in the assets folder

[paper citrus]

oh I hadn't made the main file load the atlas file

hold on

[red flower]

can i see the file structure

[spice wadi]

correct me if im wrong but you shouldnt be putting them inside another folder (Jokers)

[red flower]

it's 1x and 2x

[paper citrus]

ohh

[spice wadi]

atlas.lua also probably shouldnt go inside assets

[red flower]

also this

[paper citrus]

hold on

[spice wadi]

doesnt make a difference iirc but its better practice not to put code inside the assets folder

[red flower]

i think you can have folders inside 1x and 2x

but not the other way around

[paper citrus]

hold on

okay it works

god that was such a stupid thing hahahaha

quick question, for a future joker i need to play a sound file on top of the already playing music/sound, is it hard to do ? Im starting to work on said joker so i wanted to know before hand

[wispy falcon]

What is a shader in Balatro?

[willow scroll]

No,you just need to register the sound using SMODS.Sound then use play_sound somewhere in your joker

Or atleast thats how I did it and it worked

[copper thorn]

'k thanks :)

[willow scroll]

A shader is (among other things) the visual for editions

Can I make one for my sticker? Like, if a card has it, it looks different

[willow scroll]

Yeah, but I wouldn't be able yo help you, because I think your implementation would need a custom SMODS.Drawstep and I'm currently failing at that

And you'd need to learn how to make the shader because iirc a shader is written in GLSL

[wispy falcon]

Oh, I don't know anything about that <_>

Do you have like any recommendations on that? Or maybe links to learn it?

[willow scroll]

Speaking of drawstep, bumping this again as it keeps crashing and i dont see what's wrong? Might just not know how the thing works though

[willow scroll]

Sorry, haven't started on learning shaders yet

Iirc if you did in this channel you can find some links

[willow scroll]

I know its the draw fucking things up, but why

[daring fern]

Log?

[wispy falcon]

Guess I'll do some research on shaders and stuff then...

[willow scroll]

engine/sprite.lua:157: bad argument #3 to 'setColor' (number expected, got nil)```

I'll get the full log in a bit, can't grab it rn

[willow scroll]

As soon as I load a card with my enhancement

[unkempt thicket]

Where is the code for the selecting hand?

[pastel kernel]

How does Yahimod’s Open-To-Lan spectral card work?

I want to try and replicate the code

But idk how it works

[copper thorn]

so i have another question, maybe harder, bu how do i make so that my joker make the two buttons switch position at random times (or like every x seconds) ? (and by buttons i mean the Play hand and Discard buttons)

[willow scroll]

what the fuck removing draw made it work?? but that didnt work before???

wait

does alt+f5 not reload sprites/atlases or smth

💀 alright time to perform code cleanup now that it works

[pastel kernel]

...

[willow scroll]

?

[pastel kernel]

I’m stumped.

[manic rune]

pretty sure paya has a dos card that does just that

[pastel kernel]

Yeah, I tried asking them but they seem not to respond, atleast in the way i would’ve expected.

[manic rune]

pretty sure its available in the mod's code if u want to research

[pastel kernel]

Where?

Also pointer’s kinda hard to read

I thought it would be simple to just define a simple collection overlay
