If you like high points, Cryptid might be interesting.

# livid hill whats the best mods for balatro

Opinions vary wildly and a lot of people will just say their mod

If you're willing to deal with cryptid:
Entropy
Vallkarri

If not:
Paperback
Ortalab
HouseRules
Grab Bag
TheAutumnCircus
Tangents

Quality of Life mods:
Handy
DebugPlus
(I can't overstate how good these two mods are)

or they wont work togeter

thx a lot

Unless the mod specifically says "conflicts with [mod]"

ohk

I didn't declare conflicts in my mod but it conflicts with everything 😎

so this line is crashing:

huhhh

got this

i have like 13 mods enebed

and tried to run the game

#

what to do

wind steppe
#

if i have multiple lovely files what order do their patches load in?

wind steppe
livid hill
#

why tho

subtle merlin
livid hill
#

ohk

#

so do i just disable that

#

and move on

subtle merlin
#

you can try that, yea

livid hill
#

k

wind steppe
#

dont do that now though

subtle merlin
#

how do i make it so that boss blinds award no money outside of challenges? G.GAME.modifiers.no_blind_reward gives the first crash for some reason (if i append .Small, .Big, and .Boss to three different lines it's the second crash)

does anyone know the demension of the tarot cards

#

i think its 63x93

#

but i not sure

71x95 if i remember it right

#

Yep

torpid mantle

#

71x95 including 1px of padding on all sides, 69x93 of actual size

surreal knot
#

Oh okay

umbral zodiac
#

not 63, 69 but ya

torpid mantle
#

and the outer box was okay

#

the internal art looked all fucked up

umbral zodiac
#

yeha if you were using 63x93 then itd be wrong, its 69x93 when you dont include the padding

torpid mantle
#

69x93 looking even more fucked up tho?

image.png
#

maybe its the img im using as refernce

umbral zodiac
#

did you just stretch it out to be wider

torpid mantle
umbral zodiac
#

oh wait im sorry im a fucking idiot

wind steppe
#

is the default can_use behavior (involving max_highlighted) implemented in vanilla or smods

umbral zodiac
#

consumables have way more padding than jokers

#

i feel accomplished

yeah doxy that was my fault you were right about the resolution
on the spritesheet they take up 71x95 but their actual size (including padding) is 65x95

no that's definitely max_highlighted

I wonder if this definity is okay.

    key = 'flush_mansion',

With the flusher coming from:

    func = function(hand)
        return get_flusher(hand)

Can you create custom stickers (rental and so) on malverk?

How to increase max number of played cards to six? D:

can i place an effect twice in the same return to have that effect happen twice in one go or will there be overrides happening if i do that

#

I'm trying to

#

But I don't find the way

#

I've managed to create stake stickers

but not rental or perishable

slim ferry
#

uh try asking the malverk thread? im not too experienced with malverk

subtle merlin
mossy orbit
slim ferry
#

whenever you want to change it

mossy orbit
#

So I guess using:

SMODS.change_play_limit(6)
SMODS.change_discard_limit(6)

Is fine?

rocky plaza
mossy orbit
rocky plaza

#

Yup yup

subtle merlin

rocky plaza
#

you'd have to hook the function that starts a run and do
SMODS.change_play_limit(1)
the number parameter is how much to increase th limit by

or card

rocky plaza

# hybrid shadow doing smth twice

for any scoring effects you can just add/multiply the values depending on what it is for the same effect, same with any money effects. though you could probably also use SMODS.merge_effects or whatever its called maybe

hybrid shadow
#

idk if thatll let it happen twice visually tho

slim ferry
#

you could use SMODS.calculate_effect multiple times instead then maybe?

maybe

does anyone know what function passes loc_vars to the joker description

# mossy orbit

G.start_run hooks need (self, args), at least from what i gathered from another mod's hook of it

mossy orbit
#

Gotcha

rocky plaza
subtle merlin
#

oh, good to know

rocky plaza
faint yacht
#

If the increased selection limit is for a deck, do it in an event under apply of it instead.

subtle merlin
#

my only idea left as to what's wrong is that one of these variables don't exist in start_run

image.png
mossy orbit
#

Hmmmmm

subtle merlin
#

yep

#

G.hand doesn't exist in G.start_run

mossy orbit
#

mr_bones oh no

subtle merlin
#

maybe you can check other mods to see when they do it?

mossy orbit
#

I was checking it :/

subtle merlin
#

hold on, wait a second

#

i want you to try smth

# 
local start_run_hook = G.start_run
function G:start_run(args)
  start_run_hook(args)
  SMODS.change_play_limit(1)
  SMODS.change_discard_limit(1)
end
mossy orbit
#

Okay uwu

slim ferry
subtle merlin
#

im trying to juggle 3 different things excuse me for fucking up once

slim ferry
#

its funny tho

subtle merlin
mossy orbit
#

start_run_hook(args)

#

Let me pass the self this time

wind steppe
# 
local start_run_hook = G.start_run
function G.start_run(self, args)
  ret = start_run_hook(self, args)
  SMODS.change_play_limit(1)
  SMODS.change_discard_limit(1)
  return ret
end
#

try that

mossy orbit
#

On it

#

Okay, game didn't crash at the start but

#

When I tried to pick the six card, it went oooof

#

But now it is a different error at my custom poker hand

red flower
#

shouldnt it be Game:start_run

mossy orbit
#

I dont see my cpp_flusher inside parts

red flower
mossy orbit
#

Okay, looks like I missed the mod prefix when using the parts inside the evaluate of my PokerHand

#

Oh wow, it works!

#

Why I can select 7 cards lol

mossy orbit
wind steppe
#

how do i implement a custom challenge rule?

subtle merlin
#

why does the hook i have (right) work on some jokers, but not others (left)? shouldn't it always set the joker to perishable no matter what?

mossy orbit
#

Well, I will keep the 7 discard and play card in the meantime as no clue why that happened. Thank you creature uwu

wind steppe
#

runner can't be perishable because it's a scaling joker so it doesn't get the sticker

subtle merlin
#

i see that now

#

-# what if, to be extra evil, i patched it to make an exception if this rule is active :3

That would be too much evilness

My last issue before oaths are done:

For some reason, this doesn't destroy cards that have been played twice this ante, but idk why. I dont want to use SMODS.destroy_cards because that tends to mess things up when destroying playing cards

        key = 'j_ina_Shadow',
        edition = 'e_negative',

          return {

          }
        end
      }

      local _card = SMODS.create_card(create_args)

So the loc_vars attribute does not work here right?

red flower
#

no

knotty orchid
#

So Is there any way to change the text of the newly generated card?

red flower
#

it's your own joker so you can just put that in its own loc_vars and set a flag when you create it to use that key

knotty orchid
#

yeah I just figured it

hahaha

short girder
red flower
#

for what reason

short girder
#

That's what the joker does!

red flower
#

the joker is designed to crash the game?

#

or is adding one to extra supposed to do something

short girder
#

No uhm the joker is supposed to add 1 or subtract 1 to each of the joker's values

candid prism
#

does anyone just have like an example of an SMODS.deckskin the wiki just gives me a list and im very confused

red flower
#

the smods examples repo

rotund sable
red flower
# short girder No uhm the joker is supposed to add 1 or subtract 1 to each of the joker's value...

personally I wouldn't recommend adding to values indiscriminately but if you want to do it anyway you would need to first check if extra exists and it's a table, # won't work because extra is usually not integer-indexed so the length is 0 (it will crash if it's not a table as well)
then you need to iterate extra using pairs for the aforementioned reason and for each value in extra you need to check if it's a number and then add one to it

keep in mind most vanilla jokers and many modded jokers don't exclusively use extra to store values and not all values stored in extra are score related

modern kindle
#

its actually where i discovered joker had a base 1 for xmult and xchips

i think that's heresy personally

then make me a better way to do it smh

i believe modifying jokers values without consent is bad

they consent by the edition existing

this crashed when i selected the blind with a failed attempt to perform arithmetic on "mult" (or something like that), how do i fix this

#

the reason modded is recommended to use extra is not to clash with the ability table

#

you can restricts the values you're gonna increase by looping through the values in the config center when increasing vanilla joker values

#

a good friend is helping with the russian localisation and their translation of the mod name made me wonder if that is a possiblity or it is tied to the folder or metadata name

and if anyone is curious

#

idk if it affects the badge

clear ocean
#

the name = string,?

cursive gazelle
#

Ofc it’s a string

#

“Your voucher name”

i am talking about the mod name itself

any documention on G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].career_stats?

Only thing i can think of is joyous springs

#

ts was prolly asked up in chat but how do i get the custom joker names for my mod bc I got a whole ass table set up and it js aint loading

#

do you have a loc_txt table or a loc file of the language you use

cursive gazelle
#

J_modprefix_jokerkey

rotund sable

#

I have auto uppercase

#

Lol

clear ocean
#

do booster packs use a loc colour

rotund sable
clear ocean
#

red card has the attention/yellow colour but my voucher already has +1 as attention/yellow

cursive gazelle
#

Like for the background?

clear ocean
#

thinking on either keeping it the standard colour or maybe blue or red?

image.png
cursive gazelle
#

Oh you mean in the loc_txt

clear ocean
#

yeah

cursive gazelle
#

I think it’s depends on the booster type

clear ocean
#

yeah it is

cursive gazelle
#

I would just make it PURPLE

clear ocean
#

like maybe this is good enough

cursive gazelle
#

Good enough

subtle merlin
#

Okay so it crashes for some reason cool cool cool cool

cursive gazelle
#

It’s always like that

ornate meteor
#

i'm still very lost about making balatro mods but I'm js hoping ts works when I put it in the code

#

bad news chat it didn't work

#

i'm gonna kms and see if that fixes it

#

I think I put the code in wrong actually 1 sec

#

There is also a tutorial in YouTube

ornate meteor
#

every tutorial I look up tells me to change it in the game's files itself but I plan on sharing this mod and want the joker names to stick

#

if I change it in the game's files for myself then it will only apply to my game

mossy orbit
#

And make it shared as your mod

How do I change the icon of the mod? Instead of a green jester, use my own png or something

Hey, question: Is there a way to make so a button in a UI sends the user to the mod config page?

ornate meteor
red flower
ornate meteor
clear ocean
#

thinking that a better way to improve the idea of the booster pack limit is instead have the second more expended one being where you can select or spawns another card so in a mega pack it can be either 3 of up to 5 or 2 of up to 6

ornate meteor
#

still ain't goin well but I think I'm getting somewhere?????

#

fucked my mod up so bad it ain't even load anything anymore I may be cooked gng 💔

#

ong I'm boutta js give up on the renaming part n js make ts a reskin mod

clear ocean
#

which one is more balanced

image.png image.png
sturdy compass
#

The second one would be +1 choice instead of size btw

clear ocean
#

i know i am prototyping if i do the second

#

im asking which one is more balanced

#

if you want i could do one and then the other

sturdy compass
#

I think the size is more balanced ever so slightly because of more booster skipping opportunities on the choice one

#

But that's literally it

clear ocean
#

you have a point not fully sure how to do that

#

pretty sure you can do an if statement for the kind of booster pack (either it would be a new kind of easy return or you can brute force with a for if contain loop) and THEN modify the booster

Does anyone have an example of inserting a stake between two vanilla stakes?

#

Previously asked: #💻・modding-dev message and #💻・modding-dev message without an answer.

I have the following code:

SMODS.Stake {
    name = "Silver Stake",
    key = "silver",
    applied_stakes = { "orange" },
    unlocked_stake = "gold",

    atlas = "Chips",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },

    sticker_atlas = "Stickers",
    sticker_pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },

    modifiers = function()
        G.GAME.modifiers.enable_preorder = true
    end,
    colour = G.C.GREY,
    shiny = true,
    loc_txt = {},
    above_stake = "orange"
}

SMODS.Stake:take_ownership('gold', {
    name = "Gold Stake",
    key = "gold",
    applied_stakes = { "silver" },

    pos = { x = 2, y = 1 },
    sticker_pos = { x = 3, y = 1 },
    modifiers = function()
      G.GAME.modifiers.enable_rentals_in_shop = true
    end,
    colour = G.C.GOLD,
    shiny = true,
    loc_txt = {},
    above_stake = "silver"
  }
)

But it still shows up at the end of the list and does not unlock correctly.

#

I added orange stake to the above code to chain to the silver:

SMODS.Stake:take_ownership('orange', {
    name = "Orange Stake",
    key = "orange",
    unlocked_stake = "silver",
    applied_stakes = { "purple" },
    pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
    sticker_pos = { x = 2, y = 1 },
    modifiers = function()
      G.GAME.modifiers.enable_perishables_in_shop = true
    end,
    colour = G.C.ORANGE,
    loc_txt = {},
  }
)

This changed the behavior I am experiencing. Now Gold Stake no longer works, (it tops out at Orange.)

This enhancement is supposed to give +12 Mult before cards are scored, but it does nothing instead. I know scoring is a little different for enhancements, did I do something wrong here? lua SMODS.Enhancement { -- Fat key = 'flesh_fat', pos = { x = 4, y = 0 }, atlas = "ModeEnhancements", config = { extra = { mult = 12}}, replace_base_card = true, no_rank = true, no_suit = true, always_scores = true, loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card) return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult}} end, calculate = function (self, card, context) if context.initial_scoring_step and context.cardarea == G.hand then return { mult = card.ability.extra.mult} end end }

glass scaffold
vernal path
#

No but context.before specifically happens before scoring, and clears all the scoring stuff when scoring happens. I mean, i can try it, but its literally why context.initial_scoring_step exists

#

It also does nothing

glass scaffold
vernal path
#

I'm well aware of the calculate functions here. I tested it with a print and it's not even passing the if statement.

#

Oh, it was because it was in G.hand, not G.play

hybrid shadow
#

G.hand moment

vernal path
#

this truly is a G.hand moment

faint yacht
#

context.initial_scoring_step was made for doing stuff to Chips and Mult before the actual scoring begins, whilst context.before is for checking the hand, modifying cards, etc iirc.

#

This triggers on that context.

image.png
vernal path
#

unbalances!? alpharadLOL

faint yacht
#

Adds the two values together, then rolls for % of it to go to Chips and the rest to Mult.

#

So 35 x 4 can become 39 x 1... or 1 x 39.

#

What's the easiest way to go from rarity (number) to rarity (string)?

#

a.k.a i am trying to get the rarity from a joker using joker.config.center.rarity and pass that into SMODS.add_card

#

When I tried passing a number into that, it only would create Rares

#

I know I can define a numbered table with the number being an index to a string but honestly i would prefer not to because it'll not support custom rarities

celest aspen
#

Hey Thermo I saw you talk about changing sell cost. I have this snippet that I think should work but idk. Where exactly should this be put? Should I put it in the calculate function or is there a specific function that would handle it? (Im unfamiliar how to format code on discord and I dont wanna spam with a huge wall of unformatted text )

image.png
vernal path
#

You can put it wherever you want, although I suggest either putting it directly near the joker or with other hooks in a utilities file. It shouldn't be in an object definition, though, so keep it out of a SMODS.Joker {}

#

also, for formatting code you can place it in between ``` code ```, which works in multiple lines, and you can put a code language after the first one, like:
```lua
code
```

Is there a way to change the values displayed on a Joker if a certain Joker is held?

gleaming crescent
stiff locust
#

there's a variable system for loc_vars but i've only used it for color
you don't really need to use it for this though, you can just change the values that are returned by loc_vars

glass scaffold
#

This is PROBABLY not gonna work, but let's try it.

gleaming crescent
glass scaffold
#

(That disc needs to double the values shown cosmetically.)

gleaming crescent
#

Ok

stiff locust
glass scaffold
stiff locust
#

do you own the mod that the disc is from

glass scaffold
#

The Jokers are from Wildcard Collection, while the discs are from Wildcards' Music

stiff locust
#

if not i'm pretty sure you can take_ownership of the disc anyway as a modded object and add the add_to_deck in that way, assuming said disc doesn't already use an add_to_deck
(if it does use an add_to_deck, you can take_ownership and overwrite its add_to_deck with the same one + your extra code)

glass scaffold
stiff locust
#

they're very easy i'll run you through it

#

add_to_deck is like the calculate function

#

but it uses self, card, from_debuff instead of self, card, context

#

it runs 1 time whenever the joker is added to your joker slots, or undebuffed
(you can make it not trigger when undebuffed by checking if not from_debuff

#

it has an accompanying function remove_from_deck which is identical, but it runs when the joker is debuffed or removed from your joker slots

glass scaffold
#

So is there a way to have the Wildcard Music mod do all this or do I need additional code inside WC Collection?

stiff locust
#

the disc can do all of the code itself yeah

glass scaffold
#

Thank GOD

stiff locust
#

during the disc's add_to_deck, iterate over your joker slots (for index, value in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do)

#

check if value is the joker whose effects need to double
double its effects and add value.ability.modprefix_doubled = true
do not double it if the joker already has that flag, to prevent the doubles stacking

#

and then do the inverse during remove_from_deck

stiff locust
#

in its own add_to_deck, it should check if the disc exists and double its own values and add value.ability.modprefix_doubled = true to itself there

#

but it doesn't have to do anything in remove_from_deck

#

that should make it so

  1. when the disc is added to deck, it doubles all the values of the joker that needs to be doubled
  2. when the disc is removed from your deck, it halves the values that it doubled
  3. if the other joker is added to your deck after the disc, it will still double its own values
#

i think that covers all bases?

glass scaffold
# 
        for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            if (something to find the Joker) = (modded joker key here) then
                
            end
        end
    end,```

Ok, here's all I definitely know so far.
#

now how would I go through and check for the Joker matching the exact one?

Nah, I just did a little logical-thinking stuff

manic rune
#

and besides, using an event to do this also doesnt really prevent other blockable = false events from running too

gleaming crescent
#

Maybe the timings are off

#

Probably, try to put G.SETTINGS.paused = true somewhere else

manic rune
#

im guessing you want to add G.SETTINGS.paused = true within the ui's code itself

#

since there might be stuff that runs on events in the ui's code

#

and since you are pausing the game before creating the ui, they dont run?

wispy falcon
#

So where in my code?

gleaming crescent
manic rune
#

maybe its because pausing during scoring animation causes it to crash, idk

pastel kernel
#

How do I make it so that an object spawns any joker but it cannot spawn jokers from a specific rarity? (Say it can’t spawn any from the common category but it spawns any from the exotic category)

manic rune
#

you can probably try moving the line to here instead

gleaming crescent
manic rune
#

-# though i kinda doubt thats the problem

manic rune
gleaming crescent
manic rune
#

i think pausing the game doesnt stop those functions from running, bleg

#

maybe try using an event with G.SETTINGS.paused = true in it?

#

hopefully that works

wispy falcon
manic rune
#

event with that in the func

gleaming crescent
molten relic
wispy falcon
manic rune
#

mhm

gleaming crescent
manic rune
#

oh yeah, that too

wispy falcon
#

And I put that in the if statement?

wispy falcon
manic rune
#

if my guess is right it should allow the functions to run first before pausing the game, which shouldnt crash anymore

manic rune
wispy falcon
#

IT WORKS

#

THANK YOU BOTH

is this good

rotund sable
#

Looks ok

#

But are the jokers loaded before the object type

molten relic
#

should i put the code for the jokers before the object type?

rotund sable
#

...

#

Probably

#

At least I assume so

molten relic
#

it crashes

rotund sable
#

Did you move the joker code before the object type

#

Or object type after the joker code

wispy falcon
#

In what contexts do G.STATES.GAME_OVER = true and G.STATE_COMPLETE = false work?

tropic hawk
#

ok since i want to art where are the templates for just a joker card but not like buried in a thread

languid canopy
#

hello hi, how do i make so when a specific joker is in possession, a custom music plays ?

tropic hawk
gleaming crescent
wispy falcon
cursive gazelle
#

There’s no context like that

slim ferry
#

you should be able to do it anywhere since it just ends the run

#

idk why there would be a context where forcing a game over wouldnt work

cursive gazelle
#

Should work anywhere

wispy falcon
slim ferry
#

how did you come to that conclusion

#

also it doesnt matter what object it is they all use the same contexts

#

if its a blind or not doesnt matter

wispy falcon
#

I tried some stuff the other day and it didn't work

slim ferry
#

what context did you use

red flower
#

changing states in the middle of scoring might not work because it probably gets changed immediately after

cursive gazelle
#

Try doing context.after maybe

wispy falcon
ebon shell
#

when I refer to a custom enhancement do I need to add that m_ like the game does with m_glass or m_steel or can it just be modprefix_enhancement?

slim ferry

m_modprefix_enhancement

cursive gazelle
wispy falcon
cursive gazelle
#

After context

wispy falcon
#

For what?

cursive gazelle
cursive gazelle
wispy falcon
#

Wait, what do you mean by event? I feel like I'm not understanding this right

slim ferry
cursive gazelle
#

Thanks eris

wispy falcon
#

Okay, so i am understanding this right. Why do I need to put an event there?

cursive gazelle
#

Changing game state is an event

red flower
#

not really

#

the reason you want an event is for it to happen after all the scoring animations

cursive gazelle
#

Whatever boss it works

wispy falcon
#

So I write it in the function of the Event?

cursive gazelle
#

Yes

wispy falcon
#

This doesn't do anything in my calculate (RNGesus is my pseudorandom)

            if RNGesus == 3 then
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    G.STATES.GAME_OVER = true
                    G.STATE_COMPLETE = false
                    return true
                end
            }))
            end

do you mean the code for the joker or localization?

I think you're missing a } if I'm seeing that right

well i know that if a bracket was missin the game just goes crashin

It’s just cooked

wait... is there a code needed to connect the mod's localization with the mod itself?

cursive gazelle
#

No it’s automatically set

#

Just like the modicon

red cradle
#

how can i destroy random card in full deck?

carmine kiln
#

it would be stupidly funny if i misstyped my mod's prefix

#

guess what

#

that was it

red cradle
#

lol

carmine kiln
#

i had my prefix in uppercase not lowercase. Lmao problem solved

candid elbow
#

And context.remove i think

red cradle
#

oh

#

thanks

candid elbow
#

(I may be stupid)

red cradle
#

you mean context.destroy_card or what?

candid elbow
#

Use the removal function hanged man uses

#

Check vanilla remade

slim ferry
#

also math.random doesnt take arguments from what i know

candid elbow
#

Why

#

What

slim ferry
#

because

#

seeds

candid elbow
#

I love planting seeds

slim ferry
#

if you use math.random the outcome will change

#

every time you play the same seed

#

also math.random is just a random float from 0-1

candid elbow
#

OHHHHH

candid elbow
slim ferry
#

no

candid elbow
#

It does tho

slim ferry
#

what do they do tho

#

also in this case you can just do pseudorandom_element since G.playing_cards is a table

red cradle
#

I didn't understand anything)

wispy falcon
#

Why does it only do my print? I don't get it...

            if RNGesus == 3 then
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        print("EVENT is happening!")
                        G.STATES.GAME_OVER = true
                        G.STATE_COMPLETE = false
                        return true
                    end
                }))
            end
        end```
red flower
slim ferry
# red cradle I didn't understand anything) 
local card = pseudorandom_element(G.playing_cards, "idk whatever you want this is just a seed")
card:start_dissolve()

this should work for destroying a random card i think

red cradle
#

and why i cant just use math.random?

slim ferry
#

you can but that will make it be independent from the run seed

wispy falcon
slim ferry
#

so running the same seed will have a different outcome each time

#

i think thats the difference

red flower
red cradle
candid elbow
wispy falcon
red flower
#

why the effort to recreate what pseudorandom already does lol

candid elbow
#

[all i know is C++]

slim ferry
#

will anything bad happen if a global mod calculate exists in an smods version that doesnt support it or will it just do nothing

candid elbow
#

It would be so cool if someone made an smods fork and made it like 10 times better

red flower
# wispy falcon Nothing either

ok last idea, go back to context.after and do this

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    blocking = false,
    func = function()
        if G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND then
            -- your code here
            return true
        end
    end

Hello! I'm new here and it's been two months I've been playing Balatro on mobile. But recently I really wanted to start playing mod to see new things.
After a bit of thinking I really have a lot of jokers and consumables ideas so I want to try coding some mods. I have one precise idea of a first thing to do but I don't know a thing about modding (I don't even have the PC version yet) so I'm here to ask if anyone want to help me with modding and codding :D

you need C

#

whats the difference between chat and dev?

solid mesa
#

here is just code

red cradle
#

but we chat here)

solid mesa
#

another big difference:
chat is just to talk about problem with mods
here is to talk a problem with your mod

red cradle
#

Ok im just kidding

solid mesa
slim ferry
#

chat is just better game chat

solid mesa
#

like

solid mesa
#

the words

when you can read tem

#

like

#

omg

slim ferry
#

modding chat is just a better version of server chat because the people there are awesomer

solid mesa
red cradle
#

another question: how can i check for using for exemple Death card. I know about context.consumeable.ability.set but still dont know how to check for certain cards

solid mesa
#

wdym, like check when the card is used?

red cradle
#

yes

solid mesa
#

idk

#

the other day i tried to make a fool for spectrals and have a stroke with the code

slim ferry
red cradle
slim ferry
#

oh no

#

its

#

consumeable

#

not other_card

red cradle
#

i see

wispy falcon
slim ferry
#

why wouldnt it work

#

its code

#

thats being run

#

why would it be different in a blind

wispy falcon
#

Every time I tried it, it just got 'skipped', like it was not there

slim ferry
#

i mean okay but then thats an issue with the code not with it being a blind

wispy falcon
#

Okay

#

What can I do about that?

slim ferry
#

well i know that getting a game over during scoring isnt possible since scoring has to play out first

#

but besides that

#

uh idk

wispy falcon
#

I tried every context that's in a blind and not something with scoring and it doesn't game over

red cradle
#

game over never comes 😣

red flower
#

wait also it's not G.STATES.GAME_OVER = true

#

lol

#

it's G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER

carmine kiln
#

if i want to make a joker, that does it's action with a specific face card, and the face card needed changes every round.
i need to add a own randomizer for that, right?

wispy falcon
