I have a consumable type with 22 items but it isn't laid out like this. How do I make it laid out like that?

[clear ocean]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-create-a-poolset this is a good start

[drowsy heath]

can someone help with my issue

i dont get what i am supposed to dooo

[clear ocean]

m_[PREFIX]_[ENHANCEMENT KEY] i think

[oblique lotus]

Question: Is it possible to add a description not connected to an object to G.P_Centers?

[drowsy heath]

ill try that

[clear ocean]

so for example if your enhancement is tainted and your prefix is yoyorick it will be m_yoyorick_tainted i think

last thing i can ask if the 1 in 10 chance is balanced

[manic rune]

if you mean info queues then yes, else if its the main description then yes but you will need to do some hooking

[oblique lotus]

I think it should be rarer personally, especially if it's a common. Not really a "mysterious stranger" if he is constantly appearing. I would try 1 in 25 and see how that plays.

[oblique lotus]

What would that hooking look like?

[clear ocean]

the rarity is something ill configure later on but i think 1 in 25 is fairer

thanks

But I cannot fully test until I learn how to hook it up but I need to get some rest

[manic rune]

hook to generate_UIBox_ability_table or smt, then you want to change the return to be using the new description

[oblique lotus]

Thanks!

[drowsy heath]

why is my enhancement showing a ui error

[clear ocean]

You need a loc table or file for that

Sorry I’m off to sleep but smods and vanilla remade wiki should help

[drowsy heath]

its fine

[clear ocean]

And the nice folks here can help

[subtle merlin]

Is it an issue with the enhancement's appearance itself or...?

[drowsy heath]

no its weird hold on

[subtle merlin]

It's an issue with your localization, mostly

[drowsy heath]

i forgot how to add enhancements to localization so i kinda just needed that

all ik is consumables and jokers

[subtle merlin]

Idk abt the flipped one but for the cyber one

[drowsy heath]

the flipped one

thats the enhancement

the joker isnt finished

i make the names and all that later

once the joker works

[subtle merlin]

If only the SMODS wiki had a thing on localization

It'd be really cool if it did, wouldn't it

[drowsy heath]

i forget that is a thing sometimes

but half the time that just leaves me confused like when i tried to make a deck

that went bad and i packed it in

but for loczation it will be fine

[subtle merlin]

If there's an issue, first consult the documentation on both the SMODS wiki and the Vanilla Remade wiki (I'd provide links but I'm not at my computer rn, if someone else that's lurking here could please provide them)

[sage crater]

how is it laid out?

[manic rune]

both are on #1349064230825103441 lol

[subtle merlin]

-# I keep on adding it to my threads list idk why discord removes it so much-

[frosty rampart]

this is a bit hard to find because there's not a dedicated ConsumableType page, but it's documented on the smods wiki
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType

[timid zinc]

i see

thank you

[manic rune]

inactive threads

but you can just type # starter pack (without the space between # and s) lel

[modern kindle]

bepus

[manic rune]

hi dil

[modern kindle]

hello

i did not make more progress with what i asked you earlier

i instead made it to another extreme

lmao

[manic rune]

😭

[modern kindle]

i made ALL cards say + Mult instead of the amount

[manic rune]

what the hell happened lol

mm

yeah you need a flag

you see the card argument in the function?

[modern kindle]

i tried that also but it didnt seem to read it properly in order to set the correct amount

like it was just + Mult not + x Mult

[manic rune]

if card and card.ability and card.ability.converted_to_mult then
  --use the new localize
else
  --use the old localize
end

make sure its card and not _c lol

[manic rune]

oh, that has to do with loc_vars

the place where you patched before has the loc vars of playing cards

make sure your new description is checking the correct place

[modern kindle]

isnt the right place just the new area in ability, so id just do ability.converted_mult

[manic rune]

wuh

[modern kindle]

or do you mean the localization entry

[manic rune]

this place

[manic rune]

u do this

[modern kindle]

yeye

well, its workin lmao

[gleaming crescent]

How to make a blind appear with a chance?

Oh, I've rewritten the blind system, I'll have to figure out this myself

[glass scaffold]

How do I make a mod load code from separate files?

[gleaming crescent]

There's SMODS.load_file(), though it's not as good as NFS

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-organize-my-files

[gleaming crescent]

Wait, does the Blind:in_pool even work?

[frosty rampart]

it should

[gleaming crescent]

Maybe I'm missing some lovely injections

Because in source code there's no such thing as in_pool

[frosty rampart]

it's in the documentation at least https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Blind

i assume SMODS.Blind inherits it from a higher-up class that it extends from

[modern kindle]

im fairly certain in_pool does work, i use it for a blind you can only get by cheating

[gleaming crescent]

Yup, I forgot to check blind.toml

[gleaming crescent]

Wiki implies, that you can create non-boss blind, which is false

[modern kindle]

in what way

[gleaming crescent]

It's here

[modern kindle]

you mean showdown vs not?

[gleaming crescent]

I have my own system for small and big blind, and I forgot to insert some logic for in_pool

[frosty rampart]

no this line does at least kinda sound like there's a way to define an entirely non-boss blind

boss: Marks this Blind as a Boss Blind and specifies on which Antes it can appear ({ min = 1, max = 10 }). max is an artifact and not functional. Use in_pool instead for advanced conditions.
(emphasis mine)

[gleaming crescent]

It isn't

[modern kindle]

i know at some point eremel wants to make a way for custom big and small blinds in smods

[gleaming crescent]

It's very simple

[modern kindle]

he didnt make it sound very simple, said there was lots and lots of things to change to make them work

[gleaming crescent]

My system only adds thing, which means full compatibility with other mods (which don't overwrite my patches)

[gleaming crescent]

Wait, SMODS doesn't register in_pool in my case

Litteraly, blinds don't have in_pool methods

[frosty rampart]

yea this sounds like an issue with your situation in particular, considering how much you've adjusted blinds

[glass scaffold]

how do I adjust the blind size from a Joker?

[gleaming crescent]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-change-the-blinds-requirement-in-the-middle-of-a-blind

[glass scaffold]

Thanks

[gleaming crescent]

Yay, now game calls in_pool

It doesn't work tho

[glass scaffold]

I'm needing it to apply before going into the blind.

[gleaming crescent]

It won't work at least because chips equal to 0 at the start of blind

[glass scaffold]

So how do I get it to find the blind requirements and reduce it by 90%

[gleaming crescent]

Wait, I messed up

[gleaming crescent]

Are you sure this is the crash report you wanted to send?

[frosty rampart]

i don't think you're supposed to have the commas in the function part of the event

[gleaming crescent]

Yup

[glass scaffold]

That's the one I copied from the crash.

[gleaming crescent]

@glass scaffold remove thees commas

[glass scaffold]

Did that

[gleaming crescent]

Does it work?

[modern kindle]

WCCollection': [SMODS WCCollection "components/jokers.lua"]:643: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 636) near 'end

Missing close somewhere it looks like

[frosty rampart]

the end on 643 shouldn't be there actually

just delete it entirely

[glass scaffold]

No crashes and now it's working properly.

[daring heron]

how do i make a joker self destruct after 5 rounds again

[wintry solar]

I think it will be not this next release, but the one after

[daring heron]

iirc there arent any jokers in vanilla that do that

i mean theres decreasing jokers

but that isnt really what i'm looking for, i just want it to destroy after 5 rounds

[shell sequoia]

Popcorn basically does that

Does it not

Well

[frosty rampart]

make a decreasing joker but the decreasing value is actually just a round counter that starts at 5 and it doesn't affect the joker's calculation at all (except for when it checks when to destroy itself)

[shell sequoia]

The difference is that it reduces its mult every round

[daring heron]

sounds simple enough

hopefully

also how do i make it load this folder again

i forgar 💔

[frosty rampart]

.

[daring heron]

yeah i tried that

[frosty rampart]

well in your case jokers is a folder, not a file
it's also in the items folder for you

[daring heron]

yeah

[frosty rampart]

the examples in the wiki are for this setup exactly

you would need to do the snippet for loading files from a subfolder, except replace "jokers/" with "items/jokers/"

(and a similar replacement for in the getDirectoryItems function call too)

[daring heron]

thankss

epic

ok i have no idea what this is

and also not sure what i should change to make it self destruct after 5 rounds instead of decrease

do i still need card.ability.extra.xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips - card.ability.extra.rounds_left?

or should it just be card.ability.extra.xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips

or just nonexistant

currently it doesnt decrease in rounds but it does give the xchips

This is what i have:

        if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
            if card.ability.extra.rounds_left <= 0 then
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        play_sound('tarot1')
                        card.T.r = -0.2
                        card:juice_up(0.3, 0.4)
                        card.states.drag.is = true
                        card.children.center.pinch.x = true
                        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                            trigger = 'after',
                            delay = 0.3,
                            blockable = false,
                            func = function()
                                card:remove()
                                return true
                            end
                        }))
                        return true
                    end
                }))
                return {
                    message = localize('k_extinct_ex'),
                    colour = G.C.ATTENTION
                }
            else
                card.ability.extra.xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips
                return {
                    message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult_minus', vars = { card.ability.extra.rounds_left } },
                    colour = G.C.CHIPS
                }
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips
            }
        end
    end

ok it still says "-4 mult" when it decreases but other than that it works

how would i change that?

[wintry swallow]

wrong kate

[daring heron]

so does anyone know how i can change this to say "-1 round" instead of "-4 mult"

tried message = localize ('-1 Round'), but that didnt work

probably need to do smth in the localization file

now that i think about it

wow i actually fixed it by myself

[sturdy compass]

This is getting out of hand
Now there are two of them!

[hexed mist]

I wasnt sure where to put crash reports but does anyone know why this Rofflatro Mod crash happens?

[foggy ginkgo]

There's another one?

Sorry there can only be one Kate

[native zinc]

oh not again man

[tall wharf]

why are there two smods folder

[pure salmon]

is talisman broken on newest smods

[wintry solar]

If you are on dev yes

Ruby fixed it somewhere though

[hexed mist]

I dont know the only mod I was using was roffleatro

I was using brainstorm seperately, but I turned it off and its dependency before running rofflatro

[shrewd shell]

im quite stuck, does anyone know how to make their jokers give exponential mult?

[vernal path]

Either you need to use talisman (and work through all of those issues), or you have to make your own operator, since smods does not provide one.

[shrewd shell]

thanks

[carmine kiln]

good mornin or whatever timezone ye got,
i think i have coded something wrong here
Made a custom file to show which code and what the card should do...
Also it crashed when i played a hand that has not a steel card.
it returns a nil

[azure valley]

Context: #💻・modding-dev message

For future readers, what was going on here (for me) was that the intensity of the shader effect tied to how saturated the color is. And it's completely invisible if your chip is already grayscale.

Shiny Stake Not Working (for future search)

[red cradle]

    context.full_hand[1]:start_dissolve()```

why this code dissolve card before scoring

[wintry solar]

use SMODS.destroy_cards(context.full_hand[1])

[red cradle]

ok

but why

[wintry solar]

it should destroy it properly for you

[red cradle]

I understand it, but why this doesnt work?

and what difference

[red cradle]

and thanks, its works

[wintry solar]

because in the back end, calculation happens within microseconds, and waht you see is queued events playing out in order, your code doesn't use any events so it just disappears straight away. SMODS.destroy_cards not only respects animation timings, but it also does all the other stuff that you should do when destroying a card to trigger other effects and avoid side effects

[red cradle]

oh, thanks, i get it

[tepid yacht]

is there a way to give yourself a joker using the debugplus mod ?

[red cradle]

Use zokers mod menu

[wintry solar]

press ctrl+c when hovering it in the collection

[bold sleet]

Hello. I ask again if there is a way to destroy and re-construct an entire UI box to update its contents. To be more specific, the settings tab of a given mod.

(or just give me the function that makes the settings tab appear idk)

[wintry solar]

you'll need to call recalculate() on the UIBox

[bold sleet]

That refreshes the entire UIBox?

[wintry solar]

should do

[bold sleet]

It does not update its contents, tho.

Which is what I want to do.

Apparently hitting this button does recalculate the contents of the UIBox. I don't know where to look for its code, tho.

[slim ferry]

dont that mod doesnt even work and it also sucks. debugplus is more useful and versatile for testing mods in like every way

[tepid yacht]

thanks

[wintry solar]

can you show your code for it?

[bold sleet]

I am just doing G.OVERLAY_MENU:recalculate()

[wintry solar]

try G.OVERLAY_MENU.UIBox:recalculate()

[bold sleet]

So, help ig?

[manic rune]

can you try eval G.OVERLAY_MENU to see whats printed

[bold sleet]

now how do I send this...

also bepis get backa here you little

[wispy falcon]

Does someone have an example code on how to apply a shader to something?

[manic rune]

mmm

[manic rune]

maybe try eval G.OVERLAY_MENU.UIRoot:recalculate()?

[bold sleet]

straight out an error.

i am very sorry I suck at this so much lol

[manic rune]

yeah so it doesnt have recalculate, hm

[manic rune]

yeah its fine lol

lemme see

[bold sleet]

update your tonsmith btw

[manic rune]

wuh

later

[bold sleet]

ok

[primal robin]

Are you crazy or smth

[bold sleet]

-# Crazy? I was crazy once!

[manic rune]

oh try eval G.OVERLAY_MENU:recalculate()

[primal robin]

G.OVERLAY_MENU is UIBox. Use call G.OVERLAY_MENU:recalculate()

[manic rune]

it seems to have that function

yeah

ive never done that before so i just checked in game lol

[bold sleet]

I mean, the function exists, but doesn't update the UIBox contents.

[manic rune]

to be fair i was basing on eremel's suggestion and kinda assumed it gotta be something in G.OVERLAY_MENU

[bold sleet]

Checking balatro's code it just seems to recaulculate the position of the UIBox.

[manic rune]

:p

[bold sleet]

It probably has to be something with that.

Since G.OVERLAY_MENU is literally an UIBox.

[primal robin]

If you need dynamic content inside, just use G.UIT.O

[bold sleet]

I need to just update text lol

this shitfuck, for example

[manic rune]

use dynatext then

[bold sleet]

😭 how the fuck does one use that?

[primal robin]

This text specifically should update automatically if you use vanill paginator

[manic rune]

yeah you should use dynatext if you want to update the text

[manic rune]

nah i made it manually lol

[bold sleet]

Also does dynatext update itself with the value provided to it?

[manic rune]

yes

dynatext auto-updates its text depending on ref_table[ref_value]

[primal robin]

text nodes also have ref_table and ref_value

dynatext is optional actually

[manic rune]

yeah, though i havent tested to see if it actually updates yet 🤔

the ui documentation in steamodded recommends using either :recalculate() or dynatext for updating text rn

[bold sleet]

oh

Now, how the fuck does one use dynatext?

[wispy falcon]

bump?

[manic rune]

use a G.UIT.O node, in the object argument use dynatext

[primal robin]

It is

[bold sleet]

dynatext documentation 101 mayb?

[primal robin]

So dynatext is overkill unless you want animation

[manic rune]

huh

i, remember N' telling me about this before but i forgot

i blame the documentation since i learnt ui from there 3:

[bold sleet]

The documentation is a bit silly.

It tells you go figure half of the time.

[manic rune]

sometimes, i should do a pr on that specific part later

its pretty misleading

anyways, instead of using text argument in G.UIT.T, use ref_table and ref_value instead

basically what they mean is that it will update the text accordingly to the value of ref_table[ref_value], so for instance if you have ref_table = G.GAME and ref_value = "pluh", it will update everytime G.GAME.pluh changes

[bold sleet]

._.

^ (dumb idiot)

[manic rune]

wasnt my ui already using G.UIT.T there

just change the text part to what i said

[primal robin]

My beloved hack:

ref_table = setmetatable({}, {
  __index = function() return #G.consumeables.cards .. " slots taken" end
}),
ref_value = "count"

[bold sleet]

most hardcoded shit ever

[manic rune]

3: i wish i understood metatables

[red flower]

i should learn what a metatable is

[manic rune]

but i think i do understand how that part in particular works though

looks useful

[primal robin]

It's basically getter

[bold sleet]

dies of death

[primal robin]

Like, metatables relatively easy, but in most cases you don't need them

[red flower]

do you look at references while you code

[primal robin]

(if we assume you have some implemented class)

[manic rune]

is this fine

[bold sleet]

Sometimes, usually from my own mods.

[manic rune]

should i keep the dynatext part, actually

[bold sleet]

My shit is not working, btw

[red flower]

i would recommend doing it more often because this is not the syntax for dynatext

[primal robin]

Did you know that element have tooltip which will display popup on hover? I'm too

[manic rune]

maybe something like If you want animated text, use G.UIT.O with DynaText.?

[bold sleet]

Could someone construct me the dyna text for me so I can have it as future reference?

[red flower]

can't you look at the vanilla code

[bold sleet]

The reward will be uh... 1 chip

[bold sleet]

i dumb

[red flower]

well dedumb yourself

[bold sleet]

:[

[primal robin]

Just look at game's code

[bold sleet]

That doesn't help me 95% of the time.

[primal robin]

In most caes you hae enough info from it

Then not just look but analyze code, you know

[bold sleet]

"go figure" isn't precisely a great answer, but whatever

[red flower]

it is because looking at any dynatext code will show you the syntax

[primal robin]

Idk how differently explain "try to figure out how game uses pieces it has"

[red flower]

do you think i know the parameters off the top of my head

[bold sleet]

No, but I think you could- nevermind you are on the phone.

[red flower]

if you were saying to look it up i wouldn't have done it even on PC because you can do it yourself:3

[bold sleet]

e

The difference would be that it would take you 1/20 of the time it would take me.

[manic rune]

mmm would adding soul_set = "Tarot" make it so my consumable is as rare as the soul?

[bold sleet]

Whatever testing shitfuck and see what sticks

[bold sleet]

I think that's what it does.

[manic rune]

cool, thanks

[bold sleet]

Though I have gotten like 2 souls back to back, but that might be just luck

[paper citrus]

I have been trying to localize a message for my joker, which swaps chips and mult

but right now the message simply displays as "ERROR"

[unborn bay]

this determines the set it can appear in when hidden like the soul

the hidden part is hidden = true

[paper citrus]

give me a sec so I can show the code

return {
swap = true,
message = localize("charlatan_swap")
}

and right now this charlatan_swap is located in the dictionary section of the misc in the localization file

[manic rune]

oh icic, thanks

[red flower]

can you screenshot that

[paper citrus]

one sec

[gleaming crescent]

try localize("k_charlatan_swap")

[wintry solar]

this is awful advice

[paper citrus]

I did try but no result

[gleaming crescent]

Oh

[paper citrus]

hold on one sec

misc = {
dictionary = {
charlatan_swap = "Swapped!",
}
}

[red flower]

that part looks fine, i think the problem might be somewhere else in the localization file

this is the whole loc file

[manic rune]

misc is inside descriptions there, isn't it

[red flower]

uhh im on my phone so i cant tell haha

[manic rune]

same lmao

[paper citrus]

oh my god I knew it was something stupid

[manic rune]

theres an extra bracket under misc though

[wintry solar]

it is, yes

[manic rune]

so in assuming thats the cade

[wispy falcon]

What do you typically write into func(card, layer) in SMODS.DrawStep?

[manic rune]

cade*

[paper citrus]

welp

thanks chat

oh also is there any way to turn that message background into a different color

not the text itself but the little square thing

[wintry solar]

colour = something

[gleaming crescent]

How do I make a shop item change it's cost?

[manic rune]

change G.shop_jokers.cards[1].cost if im not wrong

[gleaming crescent]

This isn't working even with :set_cost()

[manic rune]

im pretty sure using set_cost resets the cost though

[red flower]

context.set_cost when

[wispy falcon]

Okay, I'm trying to learn how to do shaders in LÖVE and in the SMODS Wiki it links to a 'general guide'. The guide uses stuff like

  myShader = love.graphics.newShader[[
    vec4 effect( vec4 color, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coords ){
      vec4 pixel = Texel(texture, texture_coords );//This is the current pixel color
      return pixel * color;
    }
  ]]
end
function love.draw()
  love.graphics.setShader(myShader) --draw something here
  love.graphics.setShader()
end```
in main.lua. That's not how I do shaders in Balatro with SMODS, is it?

[wintry solar]

you only need to look at the actual shader code from that site

[wispy falcon]

So stuff like this?

  vec4 pixel = Texel(texture, texture_coords );//This is the current pixel color
  return pixel * color;
}```

[wintry solar]

yes

[paper citrus]

is there a context function for gaining/triggering tags?

[bold sleet]

yipee the shitfuck numbers work

[wintry solar]

soonTM

[paper citrus]

oh

[wintry solar]

omg it's the malverk layout 😲

[bold sleet]

Apparently

BepisFever did 90% of the front-end so uh...

[fluid nebula]

does anybody here know how balatro programs random chance?

like what the specific lines of code are

[bold sleet]

This was my attempt at the front-end before hiring them.

[manic rune]

looks into how pseudorandom works

[bold sleet]

I think it quite literally pulls an os.time() for the seed

Everything else go figure idk

[gleaming crescent]

functions/misc_functions.lua:253

[gleaming crescent]

So, what I'm doing: I modify G.GAME.inflation in an ease_round-like function. I want to make card cost update

[carmine kiln]

Hello, i am making this joker that should tax you if you die, with enough money,
yet if i test this saving ability the dollars don't get taxed but added instead.

[manic rune]

im pretty sure it works

[manic rune]

please use ease_dollars instead lmao

[gleaming crescent]

I'll try to use an event for this thing

[manic rune]

yeah you are probably setting the cost to something before :set_cost() runs lol

[gleaming crescent]

Yup

But when I do G.shop_jokers.cards[0]:set_cost() manually it works

[carmine kiln]

instead of what, which line

[manic rune]

also, your math here is wrong im pretty sure

for instance lets say my current chips is 50, and requirement is 100, so i would have something like this
((50/100 - 1) * 100)
= (0.5 - 1) * 100
= -0.5 * 100
= - 500

G.GAME.dollars = G.GAME.dollars - - 500 is + 500 basically lol

[manic rune]

G.GAME.dollars = G.GAME.dollars - ...

ease_dollars(mod) increases money by that amount, while also having that pop-up animation for when money changes

[red flower]

bepis whats pemdas

[carmine kiln]

i guess i coded that at 2 am in the morning,

[manic rune]

...pemdas?

[red flower]

parentheses exponent multiplication division addition subtraction

[manic rune]

.

what

[gleaming crescent]

Order

[manic rune]

OH i see

so thats what its called

[carmine kiln]

so what i wanted to get in the first half at Ln 12 was...
current chips: 50
Required = 100
((1 - 50/100) * 10) ... this?
which should be now not negative and neither be astronomically high.

yet at the second half at Ln 17
have you meant this?:
G.GAME.dollars = G.GAME.dollars - ease.dollars(mod)

[red flower]

no, just ease_dollars(-((1 - 50/100) * 10)) (or what the values actually are)

[carmine kiln]

hold on doesn't the '-' between the 2 '(' make that value negative or was this meant:
G.GAME.dollars = ease.dollars(-((1 - 50/100) * 10)

[red flower]

no

mod is the modifier

if you want to subtract it needs to be negative

[gleaming crescent]

Mod is the value you want to add

[red flower]

also it's ease_dollars with an underscore

[red cradle]

how can i write something like #1#*2 (doubled value of first var) in localize file?

without additing new var

[gleaming crescent]

Double it in code

[gleaming crescent]

You can return in loc_vars addition doubled value

[carmine kiln]

so this should be it right?

[red cradle]

thanks

[gleaming crescent]

The (1-50/100) was an example

[red flower]

also it's just ease_dollars without the G.GAME.dollars =

[gleaming crescent]

Replace 50 and 100 with... uh, what did you want in the first place

[carmine kiln]

oh jeez my attention span in the negative, yippiee

So i have changed it so that it works, the death attempt will be taxed.

[gleaming crescent]

How to increase reroll cost?

[modern kindle]

Good schmorning chat

hello dilliard

Hi N

I so sleepy

[red flower]

same

[modern kindle]

We're so twin

[drowsy heath]

It's 3pm for me but I have just awoken so I accept it as morning

[modern kindle]

It is 0917 for me :b

But i have also only just woke at 3 pm or later

I hope your rest was awesome

[drowsy heath]

It was, I was sat on my sofa coding last night n passed out in the middle of it, feel a bit lost on what I was actually going for here but ima try make sense of it

[modern kindle]

What are you trying to do

[drowsy heath]

A custom enhancement which didn't work, and a joker that has a 1 in 2 chance to apply it to any card in played hand

Probably gunna make that a 1 in 10 tho

[gleaming crescent]

Thanks

[modern kindle]

Whats the enhancement

[drowsy heath]

It's kinda of like lucky but less money lest mult and comes with XMult too

And the odds are a bit lower

But it doesn't sork

[modern kindle]

Does vremade have it so you could just adjust that

[drowsy heath]

That's what I had done, must have bcoz it has the lucky cat explination under it

All I did was change the odds and add XMult value and change the names around so it wasn't vremade lucky anymore and was my enhancement name

Yet I got nothing 😭

[modern kindle]

Hmm
That seems odd

[drowsy heath]

Just shows as error in game and doesn't give the effect

And my joker is having a hard time applying the enhancement but that's the joker issue not the enhancement issue since it recognises there is an enhancement to give

It's a bit of a wild problem only half asleep coding end up with

[carmine kiln]

is this joker i made even balanced? It is atleast not blueprint compatible.

[candid elbow]

No

Why’s it rare

[modern kindle]

i mean inherently large numbers by default are not traditionally balanced, its just a one time use

[candid elbow]

Yeah i think one time use balance it out

But not for a rare

[carmine kiln]

it's rare, so that you have less chance of getting it.

well besides getting it from tags and tarot cards

[foggy ginkgo]

I mean it's not an uncommon

[red cradle]

one time joker stay with you for 1 round. You can make X666 Mult but it still help you to beat 1 round

[carmine kiln]

also i did have changed somethin to this Joker (see response) to 2.5 mult

[tropic hawk]

good

it is progressing

mwhaahah

my ultimate plan

of sound

[bold sleet]

What plan?

[cursive gazelle]

I just think this is funny so i’m gonna throw it here

[bold sleet]

Best part is when you don't fucking know what the error means.

[cursive gazelle]

Missing } to close { at line 82628

And attempt to call a nil value

[bold sleet]

the fabled whatever the fuck you call this

[rocky plaza]

the fabled nil check

at least thats what i call it

[tropic hawk]

the plan to spread music

[cursive gazelle]

Yeah actually you attempted to call Global variable hand (a nil value btw )

[brisk atlas]

Is there a way to remove the pixel filter on the background? I want to get unfiltered screenshots (like https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/s/s0BZN4dZN0)

[gleaming crescent]

Set CRT to 0
(other stuff is unimportant here)

[rotund sable]

Can't wait for DebugPlusPlusPlus to drop

[gleaming crescent]

DebugSharp I'd say

[bold sleet]

Even more debug options

Reminder to not use this for cheating, I beg.

[gleaming crescent]

A fully functional IDE in balatro

[bold sleet]

ftrust

[cursive gazelle]

The crt?

[brisk atlas]

No the pixel filter

[cursive gazelle]

It’s in the shader code

You can grab it and export it to shader toy or any other shader

And remove the pixelated effect

Because i tried changing the background shader and it didn’t work sadly

You can change it and recompile the game but that’s against modding rules (altering game files )

[brisk atlas]

Yeah I figured

[slim ferry]

theres a mod that removes it i think

i remember seeing it once

[cursive gazelle]

If it changes the shader I’d appreciate seeing it

[wispy falcon]

How can I test how my shaders look or if they even work?

[cursive gazelle]

Ingame as an edition

You can’t test it outside the game

[slim ferry]

or add them to the draw function of an object but making an edition is probably easier

[cursive gazelle]

Mhm

[wispy falcon]

And how do I apply it to an edition?

[cursive gazelle]

Shader = shaderkey

Inside edition

Define shader with SMODS.shader

[wispy falcon]

Okay, thank you :3

[cursive gazelle]

Oh

I think you need to type modprefix_shaderkey

I think i had this issue (not sure if it’s in the edition or draw function )

[brisk atlas]

Turns out you cant just comment it out😢

[cursive gazelle]

Shader code is painful

Try sending values with debug plus

[azure laurel]

hey, how can i make SMODS.add_cart to create a card with a garantee random edition?

[cursive gazelle]

There’s no edition_poll like seal and enhancement

But you can make a table with editions keys and use pseudorandom element

[red flower]

there is

it's poll_edition

[azure laurel]

whats poll_edition?

[cursive gazelle]

Okay so enhancement_poll but poll_edition

I see how it is

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#edition

[gleaming crescent]

SMODS wiki at it's usual

[red flower]

this is all documented in the smods wiki

[cursive gazelle]

Honestly N

[gleaming crescent]

There's no poll_edition in smods wiki

[cursive gazelle]

You might have cooked with the wiki

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Edition#edition-methods

[gleaming crescent]

Maybe I'm looking not in the right place

[cursive gazelle]

I started to read the src code for smods

Docs don’t help anymore

[gleaming crescent]

Yup, it's just unorganized

[modern kindle]

definitely is at the bottom

[gleaming crescent]

Same

[red flower]

why is it unorganized

[cursive gazelle]

Hey dilly

[red flower]

where should it go

[modern kindle]

hello

[gleaming crescent]

Utility page

[cursive gazelle]

Is smods.font a thing in the wiki

[red flower]

but it's not an smods function

[red flower]

no

[cursive gazelle]

Is someone making it ?

[gleaming crescent]

Smods overrides it

[red flower]

it doesnt change the signature

[azure laurel]

N' did you collaborate with SMODS or smth like that?

[red flower]

breeze said he was going to but idk if that will happen

[cursive gazelle]

I might do the SMODS.font if i have time

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

[red flower]

i do contribute to smods a bit

[cursive gazelle]

Eremel said my fork is useless

[azure laurel]

waos

[cursive gazelle]

LMAO

[red flower]

im not part of the "smods team" so i dont have any decisions over it nor did i help make it in the first place tho

[cursive gazelle]

Yeah N just came and conquered

[modern kindle]

i didnt but i can lie and say i did if that helps

also hi ice great to see you

[hushed field]

yo

[cursive gazelle]

I think i need to help make a shader replacement function

Or hook

I still haven’t done it but one day

[red flower]

i think i need to uninstall balatro

[cursive gazelle]

Yeah i need to go on with my life

That’s what i would say if i have one

[hushed field]

still a dev question, but less specifically about code and more about the best way to set up an object. I'm converting the Counters I added to Kino so that they are their own object type. They function similarly to seals and editions, adding an additional calc to playing cards and jokers. Unlike editions, though, behaviour for Counters is slightly different between them being on jokers and playing cards, some are exclusive to only one, and all of them have an additional sprite sheet depending on what they're on.

For sprites, do I just have people give two atlases and poses, or do I force people to use a specific standard so i just extrapolate the one from the other? 🤔

[cursive gazelle]

I think stacked src can help

[hushed field]

Oh, yeah, I should see how Bepis handles pools as far as different types of effects goes, because it adds both detrimental and beneficial effects

[red flower]

i think 2 atlas makes sense

atli

[cursive gazelle]

I think he mentioned you can add any effect because it works just like a joker calculate function

You might want to configure it a little to work on playing cards

And yes 2 atlas makes sense

[hushed field]

Oh, yeah, that part isn't the part I'm worried about, luckily, haha. Only thing I'm wondering for that if whether it makes sense to set up two types of calculate function, but just typing that, I'm already realizing that's unnecessary, haha

Getting these things to trigger won't be an issue. I'm mostly just trying to figure out how I keep the logistics simple so other people that wanna use this API don't get overwhelmed, with the subdivisions that these objects make. The functionality itself seems to already work as I expect, in my first quick test, luckily

[cursive gazelle]

Oh is this a new api

I thought this is a kino integrated thing

[hushed field]

It is currently, but I'm setting it up to be its own mod for people that want to use the designs without wanting to require the entirity of Kino. Also because I already know that if I'd make another content mod, I'd want access to counters as well, haha

Just because I really like the space they open up, and I think other people probably can do some creative stuff with them, too

[wispy falcon]

Why do I need to declare mouse_screen_pos and screen_scale in my shader? I didn't read anything about that

[cursive gazelle]

Very nice ice

[cursive gazelle]

For hovering effect

[red flower]

because balatro passes those by default
i think draw_shader has a custom_shader parameter to avoid that

[cursive gazelle]

You can just add it and do nothing

[red flower]

👀

[hushed field]

I'm gonna force you to make some archetypes that use counters, N, be warned

[red flower]

i have a doc for the spell counter archetype

but i couldnt be bothered to make the ui for that

[hushed field]

also gonna force the people at pokermon to use the investment counters to make ghimmigoul jokers, probably

[cursive gazelle]

Thoughts ?

[wispy falcon]

How? I added extern with them and I still get that error

[hushed field]

seems goofy, think it'd be a fun addition to a meme mod

[cursive gazelle]

Look at ethe ionized code

It literally says just copy someone’s shader end edit it

[hushed field]

are you up to share that? Currently, the way I've implemented counters, they max out at 9, just because that's how I've maxed the visuals, but I think that might be limiting it a bit

[cursive gazelle]

I think it could add a little layer of challenge

And skill

Since balatro is just RNG

[hushed field]

very mario rpg

[wispy falcon]

Where?

[hushed field]

Why do I even use sprites to display these numbers? 🤔 This seems... unneccessary

[fluid nebula]

do y'all know how balatro programs random chance?

want to make a joker with an RNG mechanic and i want it to be affected by oops all 6s

[ocean sinew]

how do I change #something to #somethingelse with this ast structure?

[gleaming crescent]

pseudorandom('seed') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal * numerator / denominator
Or, if you use latest SMODS version
SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'seed', numerator, denominator, 'identifier')
(https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0711a)

[cursive gazelle]

Smods mod examples under edition

[shell timber]

oh yeah scaling detection is in smods now

[ocean sinew]

yeah but It's not automatic

[shell timber]

automatic is not possible

[ocean sinew]

It is

already doing that

[shell timber]

seupai we've been over this

it will not work all of the time

[ocean sinew]

I'm using a lua ast parser now

so yeah it will

[shell timber]

you still have the same issues

what is scaling

[ocean sinew]

whatever the user wants to define as scaling?

self-scaling when a card scale themselves

[shell timber]

so it shouldnt be automatic

[ocean sinew]

scaling when a number is added in a card value

[hushed field]

I have jokers that do that automatically every frame

[ocean sinew]

they use card.ability?

[hushed field]

Which I wouldn't mechanically want a player to interpret as scaling

[ocean sinew]

and why would u put card update stuff in card.ability

[shell timber]

why cant it be in card.ability?

[ocean sinew]

well

I can just read the other code

and then define If It's a scaling value or not that way

by the code context

[shell timber]

scaling detection should not be automatic

there are far too many edge cases

[hushed field]

Because the jokers are all of the 'Gives [score], slowly go to 0 over 120 seconds'

[shell timber]

i dont believe you understand the actual issue with automatic scaling detection

[ocean sinew]

yeah cuz there's no issue

there's a fix for everything

it only depends If I would spend my time fixing it or not

[shell timber]

the issue isn't code related

[ocean sinew]

what how

[hushed field]

I also have multiple jokers that scale internal values that aren't meant to be player facing, for example. I also have a joker who's value gets randomized under certain conditions, but I would not want a player to think of that as scaling.

[shell timber]

the issue is that scaling as a concept isn't equivalent to numbers changing

[ocean sinew]

numbers changing isnt scaling though

numbers changing is numbers changing

thats what am talking abt

the word scaling is too limited for the concept

[cursive gazelle]

I believe in my little steve

[shell timber]

okay then numbers changing isnt what you want to do

[ocean sinew]

yeah

for me two values getting a math operation done on them by itself or another card = scaling

[thorn basin]

I made a joker that increases the consumables slots by 2 when it's on the joker slots (like juggler does for the hand size).
Although the game gives me error saying that "consumable_slot" is a nil value.
How can I fix this?

[ocean sinew]

but setting it like cardvalue =-321 not scaling

[gleaming crescent]

Because it's G.consumeables

And it's not working like the hand

[hushed field]

Internal counters also exist, but don't actually count as scaling. The following two abilities would interact differently with the rules of anything that cares about scaling:

Gain +1 mult whenever a face card scores.

Gives +1 mult for each face card that has been scored.

I'd also say that within the context of Balatro, there's ways of numbers being operated upon that I wouldn't default to calling scaling. Like Hit the Road

[thorn basin]

ah, I forgot which was the right command for consumables slots

[gleaming crescent]

G.consumeables.config.card_limit = G.consumeables.config.card_limit + card.ability.extra.consumable_slot inside of an event inside of a add_to_deck

[shell timber]

your system will eventually require manual developer intervention so why not just use the system thats in smods already

[ocean sinew]

cuz automatic is better

[fluid nebula]

sorry if this is dumb but what's the thing here

[shell timber]

okay if you dont understand the problems with your solution then go ahead

[gleaming crescent]

And the same thing in the remove_from_deck but with a minus sign instead of plus

[ocean sinew]

There's no problems that can't be fixed

[shell timber]

it should be == instead of =

[gleaming crescent]

I suggest you to learn lua

[shell timber]

alright. Good luck!

[fluid nebula]

ohhh lmao

[thorn basin]

thanks for the help!

[fluid nebula]

i forgot about that

thanks

[ocean sinew]

Scaling definition involves shrinking or enlarging something

So I guess hit the road counts as scaling

since it enlarges whenever a face card isnt scored

and shrinks whenever it is

[ocean sinew]

In geometry

(I just searched it up didnt knew abt that before)

[gleaming crescent]

Also, don't rely on math.random, it's results are not controlled by your run seed

[gleaming crescent]

Oh

[hushed field]

do you play other card games at all? I would not transfer mathematical concepts into rules design

[fluid nebula]

is that really important? i kinda want it to be as random as possible

[manic rune]

i think this is one of the cases where math.random actually makes sense

[hushed field]

this will check to run os.exit every single calculation made by any card, by the way, so if you own this joker and do anything, it will basically be guaranteed to trigger

[manic rune]

using pseudorandom would mean there will be one point where os.exist will always run lol

[gleaming crescent]

I like it this way

[fluid nebula]

ah, fuck. any fix for this?

[manic rune]

id rather have it math.random

[wispy falcon]

I'm so confused when it comes to making shaders. What does what? And I can't find a good tutorial TwT

[hushed field]

include it within the main context check

[manic rune]

just use contexts

[gleaming crescent]

Just a more straight way to crash your game instead of playing with entropy

[fluid nebula]

put it inside the context function, shoulda done that earlier

[hushed field]

about to investigate your code agai, btw, Bepis

[manic rune]

that wouldnt work

code after return wont run

[manic rune]

gulps

[hushed field]

returns always end the function, so you can't put things after the return

[fluid nebula]

i need a comma, don't i?

[manic rune]

no

put your code above the return

[fluid nebula]

holy shit i'm dumb 😭
i did computer science lmao

how did my teacher not execute me

[gleaming crescent]

You can't put a code inside of a table (or an array)

[manic rune]

wuh

[fluid nebula]

it works! thank you so much

i will learn for next time

[manic rune]

out of curiosity, do you have lua extension installed 🤔

-# also that doesnt even look like vsc

[fluid nebula]

i'm on notepad++ 😭

[cursive gazelle]

Vscode

Is free

[manic rune]

having visual studio code + lua extension can tell you where in the code is wrong

if you dont like microsoft theres vs codium or something

[cursive gazelle]

Lua extension is for the weak

My code. Has no syntax error

[shell timber]

lsps are worth it use them whenever you can

[manic rune]

.

s

you wont believe what im about to send

[cursive gazelle]

I don’t judge but joker_buff37

[fluid nebula]

Oker is born.

[cursive gazelle]

I didnt know stacked is that big

[fluid nebula]

1 in 2 chance to close the game, x999999 mult

not balanced at all

[bold sleet]

you can always try again

[manic rune]

mhm

and theres joker_curse8

[cursive gazelle]

Bsr will never see the light of day

[manic rune]

:3

[latent perch]

Did that too :p (because it destroys the first drawn card)

[gleaming crescent]

And what it does?

[fluid nebula]

That's pretty cool!

[latent perch]

thanks!

[bold sleet]

It's a portal pew pew!

[fluid nebula]

what's the full effect? does it just destroy the first card drawn?

[latent perch]

yup, but I unintentionally made it a quick time event (you can move another card to be destroyed instead)

which, eventhough it's not very vanilla, makes it a better Joker sooo

Imma keep it :)

[fluid nebula]

ooohh, i see

sounds good for deck fixing

good amount of risk, too.

[latent perch]

yeah that's the idea

[vast bough]

hey guys

how would i reference the levels of a particular poker hand, i.e. high card

[latent perch]

G.GAME.hands[handname].level I think

[vast bough]

ty very much

[red flower]

no because i lied, i deleted it :3 (i forgot)

[cursive gazelle]

[zenith scaffold]

Can someone help me with this? I found the problem in card.lua, but whenever I try to fix the file, it reverts back to the previous state.

and apologies if I used the incorrect chat

[frosty rampart]

if it's an error in card.lua, then some mod is patching that file and that's where the error is coming from. editing the files in lovely/dump/... won't actually do anything, SMODS/lovely dumps the patched versions of the vanilla and SMODS files there for reference only and doesn't read anything from them

[hallow slate]

How would I get a Joker from a specific mod?

[rotund sable]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[frosty rampart]

elaborate, what's your goal here

[hallow slate]

booster containing jokers from only my mod

[red flower]

joker.config.center.original_mod.id == "modiid"

it's easier to just add your jokers to a pool tho

[hallow slate]

I'll try that out

[fossil nebula]

Hi i would need some help, i want to make a system that at a start of an ante gives a random modifier for the entire ante(something like boss blind but for all blinds). Problem is i have no idea how would i make something like this

[red flower]

is this global or only for a deck/challenge/other?

[fossil nebula]

global

[red flower]

i would recommend waiting a couple of days for the next smods version

it allows using a calculate function globally similar to jokers

[fossil nebula]

ok thx

[carmine kiln]

N' i have a question, what would be needed if instead looking for the highest level, i was looking for the most played hand?

[red flower]

same thing but played instead of level

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-the-most-played-hand

[carmine kiln]

ah

[vast bough]

what is the held in hand at end of round context for seals/enhancements, if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card == card is just doing nothing for me, am i being silly with something

[slim ferry]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[vast bough]

true

[slim ferry]

kil

thanks mods

[carmine kiln]

thx mods

[vast bough]

one day i might just join one of those and see whats up

[slim ferry]

okay so if i know anything about this its just going to make you "verify yourself" via an external website which actually just gets you hacked in some way

[vast bough]

thats a shame lol

[slim ferry]

this should work according to the vanillaremade blue seal

[vast bough]

yeah this is what im getting it from but for some reason it just doesnt lol

[slim ferry]

did you just directly copy vanillaremade blue seal?

because then it could also just be an issue with vanillaremade

[vast bough]

just the context check, and i get this error when it gets held in hand at the end of round (which makes zero sense)

INFO - [G] 2025-08-15 19:20:08 :: WARN  :: DefaultLogger :: Found effect table with no assigned repetitions during repetition check

this is the code btw

[rotund sable]

fire name

[vast bough]

one of my best

[fluid nebula]

yo i have a question

how may i edit the text colouor so it only shows partially

[slim ferry]

close the formatting with {}

[fluid nebula]

thanks

i love how i'm learning a few more of the basics

thank you, everyone in #💻・modding-dev

[red flower]

the error makes sense because end of round is called with repetition

so it seems to work, you just need to restrict it to individual

[vast bough]

i did not know that lol

[red cradle]

Can I make one of my jokers appear multiple times, like with the showman effect, but for 1 joker?

[red flower]

yes, there's a return value in in_poolfor that

[vast bough]

regardless of the warning, why do the effects just not proc still, am i doing something silly

all i want is a working card held in hand at the end of round for enhancements and seals 😭

[red flower]

no idea haha

its weird that it runs but doesnt do anything

[red cradle]

can you write what i need to put into joker code?

or guide fot it

because idk how in_pool works

[red flower]

in_pool = function(self, args)
  return true, { allow_duplicates = true }
end 

[red cradle]

thank you very much

[final jewel]

I have a question guys, so when I use this Joker it change the enhancement but just visualy for some weird reason is there a way to make the enhancement change for real and not just visualy. And is it possible to make the joker shake when upgrading the card as well

[timid zinc]

My can_use function is never getting called.

[final jewel]

idk why fr but you should have in the use function (self,card,area,copier)

[frosty rampart]

what are you talking about

[timid zinc]

area and copier are in the docs yes

[frosty rampart]

it's never even printing the debug print you have?

[timid zinc]

yep, not even that

[vernal path]

the joker wiggle either return a message or something, or call card:juice_up() As for the enhancements not having the effect on the same hand i'm not sure, I've had a similar issue for jokers that enhance cards.

[final jewel]

I forgot that for the wiggle

thx

[timid zinc]

Oh, i might be stupid

I realized the issue, it's completely unrelated

I moved the location of the file and but didnt change it in my text editior 💀

[carmine kiln]

hmm i got 3 jokers that don't wanna work as i intended them to be

[final jewel]

how did you manage to fix it

for the enhancement I mean

[vernal path]

I didn't. Although it doesn't really matter to me as its kinda a balancing feature. Although.... hang on, lemme check something

[final jewel]

kk thx

I'll wait

[vernal path]

The code from Midas Mask in V remade does work. I'm not sure what about it causes it to work, but it works for me.

Here's my implementation:

if context.before and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
            local clubs = 0
            for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if MODE_UTIL.check_suit(scored_card, "clubs") then
                    clubs = clubs + 1
                    scored_card:set_ability('m_bonus', nil, true)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            scored_card:juice_up()
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end
            end
            if clubs > 0 then
                return {
                    message = localize('mode_k_bonus'),
                    colour = G.C.BLUE
                }
            end
        end```

[final jewel]

I don't have main_eval it can be because of that ?

[vernal path]

maybe? IDK

[final jewel]

No its not because of that

[harsh bobcat]

How do I make my joker not show up in the shop/boosters and my seals not in booster packs as well.

?

[final jewel]

for seal in_pool = function(self)
return false
end,

[wintry solar]

whats your upgrade_enhancement function

[vernal path]

Oh, yk, it might be the other args in set_ability()

[wintry solar]

it's because you're doing it in events

[final jewel]

oh

[wintry solar]

so the enhancement changes in line with animations which are after calculation

get rid of the event and do card:set_ability(key, nil, true) instead

that'll respect animations still but actually enhance the card in the correct sequencing

[carmine kiln]

can 'remove = true' work at this cardarea?
Asking because this doesn't work:

calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and not context.repetition_only then if context.other_card:is_face() then return { message = 'Again!', repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions, card = context.other_card, remove = true } end end end,

[final jewel]

like that

[compact bridge]

hi there whoever is reading this, i am trying to create mods for balatro for the first time and i have never used lua before. could someone explain why this joker will not work? the message appears in game but the functionality does not work `SMODS.Joker{
key = 'snake_eyes',
loc_txt = {
name = 'Snake Eyes',
text = {
'Play 2 Aces',
'Create Random Spectral Card',
'Destroys an ace played and random card in hand'
}
},
atlas = 'snake_eyes_art',
pos = {x = 0, y = 0},

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then
        local aces = {}
        local hand_cards = {}

        for _, card in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
            if card.rank == "A" then
                table.insert(aces, card)
            end
        end

        for _, card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
            table.insert(hand_cards, card)
        end

        if #aces == 2 and #hand_cards > 0 then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    local ace = aces[math.random(#aces)]
                    if ace and not ace.destroyed then ace:destroy() end

                    local rnd = hand_cards[math.random(#hand_cards)]
                    if rnd and not rnd.destroyed then rnd:destroy() end

                    create_card('Spectral', G.hand)
                    return true
            end}))
        end
        return{
            message = "SnakeEyes Activated"
        }
    end
end

}`

[wintry solar]

no, remove=true is only in the destruction/discard context

[final jewel]

yeeeeeeeah it work thx

[rapid stag]

is there a way i can add simple descriptions from G.localization.descriptions.Other to decks? like in a normal center's loc_vars i can specify info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = 'myKey', set = 'Other' }, but i can't do this for decks

[red flower]

no idea

[carmine kiln]

is it even possible to destroy played cards?

[red flower]

idk why you pinged me tho

[wintry solar]

yes, use the destruction context

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-destroy-cards

[harsh bobcat]

and for joker?

[red flower]

same thing

[final jewel]

probably the same thing ig

[carmine kiln]

and where should that context be placed?

i mean what i did here is wrong...

[naive musk]

sup guys, how do i make a custom deck? (e.g: starts with a specific joker, 4+ hand, &c. &c.)

[scarlet sparrow]

Not sure if this counts here since I'm not using smodded for this but I was making a deck as a surprise and I thought it was kinda cool that the game sorted the deck automatically since it's unlocked by beating purple stake

It could also be me putting it before erratic and forgetting but I'm pretty sure it just sorted itself

[timid zinc]

copy_card can transfer vanilla enhancements and editions, but not modded ones

[clear ocean]

afternoon

is this a good start?

[red flower]

no i hate the guy that wrote that

[clear ocean]

imposter syndrome strikes once again

the example is about adding to deck is there a way to make a hook when you play a hand?

[red flower]

what do you want to do

[clear ocean]

when you play a hand roll a 1 in 25 chance and if succeeded spawn in this joker

i already got the rest programmed in

[wintry solar]

I didn't recognise that because who on earth uses light mode on git

[clear ocean]

i prefer the light mode on github sorry

local card_add_to_deck_ref = Card.add_to_deck
function Card:add_to_deck(from_debuff)
    local ret = card_add_to_deck_ref(self, from_debuff)

    if not from_debuff and -- If the card wasn't added by being undebuffed
        self.ability.set == "Joker" then -- and the card (`self` in this case) is a Joker

        -- Adds it to the run's global table.
        -- It is recommended (but optional) to preppend your mod's prefix to any global variable/field to prevent mod conflicts
        G.GAME.vremade_joker_added_counter = (G.GAME.vremade_joker_added_counter or 0) + 1
    end

    return ret
end

is there a way to randomise the atlas pos when drawing or appearing a sprite, ie a joker?

[cursive gazelle]

You’re a madman

[cursive gazelle]

Math.random()

Make an update function to update the sprite

[clear ocean]

i figured with the random function i mean when are you supposed to do that

update = function()?

[red flower]

when do you want it to randomize

[clear ocean]

when it appears in the shop or spawns in

i don't want to change every frame

[red flower]

then in set_ability

set_sprites might work too

[cursive gazelle]

You can just change it in the pos

But copies of this joker will have the same sprite

[red flower]

then its not what they want lol

[rotund sable]

You can use card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x=0, y=0}) if you have them on the same atlas

[cursive gazelle]

Idk i’m not a mind reader

[clear ocean]

in the set_ability?

[red flower]

youre a reader reader

[clear ocean]

what about a minder mind

[red flower]

my mind is very mind

[clear ocean]

🧠

[rotund sable]

Should work

If you put it in the update it'll change every frame

[clear ocean]

    set_ability = function()
        card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x=Math.random(0, 1), y=Math.random(0, 1)})
    end,

[clear ocean]

yeah i figured with that

[hidden notch]

-# Also use "load = function()" to update the Texture after returning to a run

[red flower]

i dont think you need to

[clear ocean]

appreciate the suggestion regardless

[hidden notch]

I usually do, I had textures suddenly reset after a full restart

[rotund sable]

Isn't math lowercase?

[hidden notch]

Quick Question: Using main_start in a Deck/Back Description probably doesn't work, if I had to guess...?

[cursive gazelle]

[cursive gazelle]

Find out

[clear ocean]

thanks

[timid zinc]

how do i change the color of the particles that appear when you click on a consumable type in the collection?

[sturdy compass]

Honestly I think it could work depending on how your write it

[clear ocean]

now there's this but take your time or even give a resource i can look at to figure it out myself

[hidden notch]

Well, I tried (like the misprint joker) and it did not work so I'm asking to see if it's different or not possible

[cursive gazelle]

You can do dynatext

[cursive gazelle]

(If you’re using the pos method )

[clear ocean]

yeah true

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/caf49367a7b58a4ad6f6bf36cd23fae3bb5e9d26/src/jokers.lua#L646

[cursive gazelle]

Just make a function that updates every frame and make it update a gloabl string variable and use it in desc

[cursive gazelle]

And return it in loc_vars

[hidden notch]

-# That is the Code I tried and it does not work ;p

[clear ocean]

god damn it

[cursive gazelle]

N my savior

[cursive gazelle]

This should work

[hidden notch]

I understand now, did not think of that as called Dynatext but yeah I can try that xD
-# But that wouldn't update the Desc. in real time

[cursive gazelle]

Well there’s definitely an easier way i’m just lazy to look it up

(You can be lazy and not make an update function just add it to any drawstep you have since it updates every frame

[timid zinc]

it creates a bunch of green particles meanwhile the other types create particles of other colors, i dont think it's connected to the primary and secondary colour of the consumable type

[hidden notch]

Nah no need, I get'cha I get'cha
I really only need to change one small thing, if it doesn't work I'll just skip out on the lil flair x3

[cursive gazelle]

[cursive gazelle]

That’s the dissolve shader

(I think)

You need to send a color variable to the shader to change it

Tldr : it’s a lot of work for a simple thing just leave it like that

Nobody is checking the consumeables (maybe once at max )

[hidden notch]

I mean it depends, you could also copy paste the function from Card.lua in the Base Game and modify it - with custom sound and everything... At that point you could use it everywhere too! x3

[clear ocean]

for the time being im going to go make the art for record skip

feel free to mention me for resources of hooks or a solution if you have done something similar

[cursive gazelle]

Too lazy
I Give up

[cursive gazelle]

For what exact

[clear ocean]

@cursive gazelle

[timid zinc]

Alright

Seems like a relatively simple patch

[candid prism]

heres the code i guess

oh i forgot to alter smth from the steamodded header oopsies i am not using dark mode

[vast bough]

is there any good documentation on pools for jokers, spawning them in, destroying, manipulating pools etc, im adding it to joker forge so i need to know EVERYTHING

[red flower]

"is there any good documentation" no

[cursive gazelle]

..... why did you put this in main lmao

[candid prism]

i wanted to condense the whole texture pack into one lua

[odd fjord]

Wheres the guide on how to mod the game

[frosty rampart]

the "starter pack" pinned in #⚙・modding-general is a great starting point

[odd fjord]

Thanks

[slim ferry]

pools as in in_pool functions or SMODS.ObjectType or something else?

[candid prism]

should i seperate luas

[fluid nebula]

have another joker idea. gonna see if i can program it

Lottery Ticket
-$5 when blind selected
1 in 8 chance for $100

just a rough idea

but my last joker didn't care for balance

[heady siren]

How would I go about making a copied card use a specific card back rather than just the default red back?

[red flower]

oh i thought i pr'd smods to fix that

[heady siren]

I want it to use a card back that isn't the current card back

[red flower]

ohh i put this in set_sprites
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/35c57684b6e795915e9b9ea47c6b240e1283c5ea/src/card_ui.lua#L434

you can do it after you copy the card if it's not one of your cards

[vast bough]

objecttype

[slim ferry]

i mean i dont think theres much for that outside the smods docs

[red flower]

i dont think there's much documentation other than the objecttype page and some bits on my wiki

[carmine kiln]

Umm quick question... this here won't work, isn't it?
it only does the sock and busking thing so thats something i guess.
i apologize but i guess lua coding ain't really my strong suit, no pun intended..

[vast bough]

im sure i will figure some stuff out lol

[heady siren]

That worked, thanks

[red flower]

put the whole destroy_card if block outside of the repetition block

[carmine kiln]

k thx, that one finally worked.
incase somebody wonders how far i am with this thing got only 1 joker left that needs to work...
edit: switched up the required enchancement on 1 joker.

[ivory widget]

What do i put into is_suit() for it to recognize the random suit? Managed to figure out rank.id for the rank, but suit.id doesn't work

[red flower]

get_id doesn't have arguments tho

suit.key should be correct

not v:get_id() will always be false

[ivory widget]

How would i ensure it isn't that rank then?

[rotund sable]

get_id() ~= id

[ivory widget]

That worked, thank you!

[idle plaza]

Right now, your limit isn't going to work. Instead of only giving seals to the first 3 cards in suit_cards, the code will instead apply the seal to all cards, up to 3 times per card.

You don't need the limit variable at all. Instead, replace the line for i = 1, limit do with if k <= 3 then

[ivory widget]

Noticed that but fixed it before i saw this ping, yours looks a bit cleaner though, thanks!

[zenith scaffold]

getting an error that says line 52 is attempting to call a nil value, any reason that'd be?

(I have very little Lua knowledge)

[rocky plaza]

ur just trying to load ur files, correct?

[zenith scaffold]

yea

i'll also note that this isn't my own mod; I'm debugging a currently existing mod

[keen atlas]

the chunk from file ConfigHelper.lua errored so it returned nil

try replacing it with assert(love.filesystem.load(modpath.."ConfigHelper.lua"))()

[zenith scaffold]

Now it's just saying the filedoesn't exist lmao

[idle plaza]

Try "/ConfigHelper.lua" as the modpath might not end in a /

[zenith scaffold]

all it does is add an extra slash at the arrow

[idle plaza]

In that case, try using assert(SMODS.load_file("ConfigHelper.lua"))() to load your file instead. I use that to load my mod's files and it works perfectly fine.

[spice wadi]

This is so outdated 😭

Mods aren't loaded like that anymore

[zenith scaffold]

yeah this is 100% a graveyard mod, I'm basically just trying to see how many mods I can cram into my game before it gives up entirely

[zenith scaffold]

this worked! tsym <3

[spice wadi]

Actually it might not be
This feels like it might be an old mod tho

If it is, you may encounter some errors

[zenith scaffold]

I'm definitely expecting a lot of those lmao
