[rotund sable]

I recall a similar issue and I think it was fixed by wrapping the merge_lists in curly brackets

[olive wren]

(bump?) like do I need to add all of the JSONs and stuff included in mods like cryptid

[long sun]

will try :3

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

[stiff locust]

woohoo

[cursive gazelle]

Check the aikoyori joker in aikoyori shenanigans

It has a spinning animation

Might help as a reference

If im your place

I would check the smods example page

It has a really good explanation on how mods work and comments of stuff

And once you have a brief understanding of mod structure you can start by reading the wiki docs

[wispy falcon]

[cursive gazelle]

Because G.UIT.R aligns children vertically along their baselines

[wispy falcon]

How can I change that?

[cursive gazelle]

Something like this

{
    n = G.UIT.C, config = {
        align = "cm",          
        colour = G.C.BLACK,
        padding = 0.1,
        h = 1,
        w = width / 2,
    },
    nodes = {
        {
            n = G.UIT.T, config = {
                text = "CONSUMABLES",
                colour = G.C.RED,
                scale = 0.5,
                vert = true,   
            },
        },
        UIBox_button({
            colour = G.C.CSTORM.CON_BUTTON,
            minw = 3,
            minh = 3,
            button = "cstorm_consumables",
            label = { localize('k_cstorm_consumables') }
        }),
    }
},```

[stiff locust]

ok i'm confused

[cursive gazelle]

[stiff locust]

I would use SMODS.sound to replace the background music under a condition right

that's what jimball does and I need to do the jimball thing with my joker

[red flower]

yes

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

[stiff locust]

and it's crashing on startup because it's "not a music track"

what does that mean and how do I make it not crash

[cursive gazelle]

Are you using the right format

[red flower]

it needs to have "music" in the key

[stiff locust]

oh

okay

i-is that

is that it

i just.

[cursive gazelle]

That’s weird

Lol

[stiff locust]

huh.

it worked.

i haven't tested if the song plays properly yet

[wispy falcon]

Tried that and it makes it worse because it stretches the UI. And the problem is still the same

[red flower]

yeah the game looks for the key to change a value when loading the sound

[stiff locust]

ive never been legitimately excited for something to work before right now

ohp

i forgot

to add the

card.ability.extra

hold on.

[cursive gazelle]

Lock the height

h=3,

[wispy falcon]

In the Column?

[fluid nebula]

can anybody help me with this? happens when i hover over the joker

[cursive gazelle]

In consumables

[cursive gazelle]

Light mode 😭

[olive wren]

Ok so whenever I refrence SMODS it has the squggles of doom and I feel as though I am missing something

[fluid nebula]

that's not an answer and doesn't help me at all

[olive wren]

like is there a plugin for vs

[crimson marlin]

wait how do you make a second layer to sprites like the legendry's have?

[wispy falcon]

Now it looks like this... You know what? I'll just leave the text away. Can't be bothered to destroy my head on something like this right now

[cursive gazelle]

I’m sorry i couldn’t look at it for long my eyes are sensitive to #ffffff

[cursive gazelle]

I love ui debugging

[wispy falcon]

It hurts my brain

[hushed field]

UI is a lot of fidgeting

[cursive gazelle]

Try wrapping them both in one column

[fluid nebula]

can anybody actually help me with this or am i gonna get more reddit-tier comedy from s

[hushed field]

I personally like making the backgrounds of each node a specific colour to help me visualize how it all orders stuff, then just make them all clear once I've set it up

[olive wren]

I have the steamodded framework installed and it still shows the doom squggles

[wispy falcon]

How do I do that again?

[cursive gazelle]

I’m sorry I genuinely couldn’t read it

[cursive gazelle]

Say the magic words

[rotund sable]

You're not returning colours in loc vars

[hushed field]

You don't pass a colour in loc_varz, I think

[red flower]

did you do this
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#3-set-up-the-lua-lsp

[rotund sable]

Refer to https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#variablecustom-text-colour-modifier-v

[wispy falcon]

?

[cursive gazelle]

[fluid nebula]

ah, i need to include the colour? my bad

[rotund sable]

I think the more concerning is the lack of highlights meaning that this is probably notepad

[fluid nebula]

i think ranks are all highlighted with a specific colour, right?

orange (C:attention)?

[rotund sable]

.

[rotund sable]

Yeah

[fluid nebula]

thank you

[olive wren]

no I didn't 🌟 💃 thank you so much 🌟 💃

[cursive gazelle]

I genuinely respect it
I need my highlights

[olive wren]

Im blind apparently 👍

[wispy falcon]

What words do you mean? TwT

[timid zinc]

Trying to make localized text specifically for Jokerdisplay, this is located in my loc file:

    misc = {
        dictionary = {
            k_jdisplaybefore='Before',
        },
    }
}```
and this is in my jokerdisplay creator:
```reminder_text = {
    { text = "(" .. localize("k_jdisplaybefore") .. ")" },
},```
but the localized text is just "ERROR"

[rotund sable]

The V tag is for custom colors and to use it you need to return the colours in loc vars

[cursive gazelle]

{
    n = G.UIT.R, config = {
        align = "cm",
        colour = G.C.BLACK,
        padding = 0.1,
        h = 3,
        w = width / 2,
    },
    nodes = {
        {
            n = G.UIT.C, config = {
                align = "cm",
                h = 3,
            },
            nodes = {
                {
                    n = G.UIT.T, config = {
                        text = "CONSUMABLES",
                        colour = G.C.RED,
                        scale = 0.5,
                        vert = true,
                    },
                },
            }
        },
        UIBox_button({
            colour = G.C.CSTORM.CON_BUTTON,
            minw = 6,
            minh = 3,
            button = "cstorm_consumables",
            label = { localize('k_cstorm_consumables') }
        }),
    }
},```

[fluid nebula]

i did not know that. now i know for next time

thank you kindly

[wispy falcon]

It works now, thank you so much >0< (I have blank underneath it now though)

[cursive gazelle]

Blank ?

[wintry solar]

What are you trying to make here

[wispy falcon]

I know that my stuff gets shown in additions but I wanted to make a tab that's similiar

[stiff locust]

this didn't help :(

[cursive gazelle]

Recreating the existing tab

[stiff locust]

they hook draw_step and rotate the sprite manually

I want the sprite to change to a new sprite

[red flower]

what are you trying to do marie

[stiff locust]

animate soul_pos like jimball

[cursive gazelle]

That’s not what animation is 😭

[red flower]

i have a joker i just made that does that

[cursive gazelle]

Well technically you’re right

[timid zinc]

you can either use jimball's hook code or smth like it to do that

i have a joker that does something similar using a different method

[cursive gazelle]

I thought you meant animating like making it move

[stiff locust]

jimball's code didn't work

[wispy falcon]

Yes, the space underneath Other and Consumables is too much and pushes the menu up very much

[cursive gazelle]

Not making an animation

[stiff locust]

how did you do it

what's the trick

[cursive gazelle]

Change the height of the column

Should fix it

[red flower]

like this?

[stiff locust]

hold on
if I can spin the regular card, I want to do that

[stiff locust]

yes like that

I wanna do both

spin the regular card and make the soul_pos move

but one at a time (i mean that as in implement them 1 after the other)

[cursive gazelle]

I dont think you can animate the regular card i’m not sure

Maybe with somz drawstep

[timid zinc]

        if card.ability.extra.delay >= 1 / card.ability.extra.FPS then
            card.ability.extra.x_pos = (card.ability.extra.x_pos + 1) % 20 -- 20 is the number of frames
            card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x=card.ability.extra.x_pos,y=0})
            card.ability.extra.delay = 0
        end
        card.ability.extra.delay = card.ability.extra.delay + love.timer.getDelta() -- dt kept returning 0
    end,```
I modified this code from EasternFarmer

[red flower]

SMODS.DrawStep {
    key = 'repertorium_erika',
    order = 50,
    func = function(card)
        if card.config.center.key == "j_repertorium_erika" then
            if not G.repertorium_erika_soul then
                G.repertorium_erika_soul = Sprite(0, 0, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H,
                    G.ASSET_ATLAS["repertorium_001erika_soul"], { x = 0, y = 0 })
            end

            G.repertorium_erika_soul:set_sprite_pos({ x = math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL * 7) % 2, y = 0 })

            G.repertorium_erika_soul.role.draw_major = card
            G.repertorium_erika_soul:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, card.children.center, 0, 0, -0.6, -0.3)
        end
    end,
    conditions = { vortex = false, facing = 'front' },
}

this is what i do math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL * 7) % 2 switches betweent the 2 sprite positions but you can make it do more frames
edit: oh and you might need to replace then -0.6, -0.3

[wispy falcon]

Does nothing :(

[rotund sable]

Hello, what's happening

[cursive gazelle]

You got it chad i believe in you

[rotund sable]

You summoned me

[timid zinc]

I don't have an issue personally, someone asked how to make an animated joker and i provided my personal method

[rotund sable]

I don't have a problem lol

Just curious

[wispy falcon]

No, don't leave this to me now D:

[timid zinc]

well, i do have a problem, but that's unrelated

[cursive gazelle]

[cursive gazelle]

Okay can i see the full tab code

[stiff locust]

this is a lot of words that i do not recognise

[timid zinc]

also i have localization in misc disctionary k_jdisplaybefore='Before', but localize("k_jdisplaybefore") returns "ERROR"

[stiff locust]

what does the order argument do

[cursive gazelle]

Take a wild guess

[stiff locust]

and what is the -0.6, 0.3 for

[olive wren]

When Im doing my pathing to refrence Smods it says that it is missing property "path"

[red flower]

its the order with other drawsteps, i mostly copied this from the soul

[stiff locust]

oh I see

[olive wren]

I followed this https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#3-set-up-the-lua-lsp

[red flower]

those are the x and y offset of the sprite i changed them from 0 because i misaligned the asset :3

[stiff locust]

oh okay

[olive wren]

And I just pasted the pathing code into the folders thing

[stiff locust]

i'll set those to 0 then

[wispy falcon]

In dms?

[cursive gazelle]

Here

[red flower]

i also made her dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nsHMhtZ8Sw

[cursive gazelle]

Should’ve bombed the chat

[stiff locust]

what is G.repertorium_erika_soul

[cursive gazelle]

Man

[red flower]

a global that stores the sprite, its created there so just rename it to something unique

[wintry solar]

Are you literally just making another version of the additions tab

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

And i’m helping for some reason

Lmao

[stiff locust]

i can assume the atlas is to go inside G.asset_atlas[] but do I need to tell it which mod to look in or does it already know it should be an atlas in my mod

[red flower]

it knows because of the prefix

modprefix_atlaskey

[stiff locust]

gotcha

[wispy falcon]

I'm making that tab to show stuff that I added after an update to the mod...

[red flower]

oh i should do this good idea actually

[wispy falcon]

Thank you

[cursive gazelle]

[stiff locust]

and I change the % 2 to the number of frames in the animation?

[wintry solar]

I think you can probably just lift the entire additions code then and change what gets added to it

You don’t need to rebuild it from scratch

[cursive gazelle]

He’s too deep we can’t go back

Commitment

[wispy falcon]

My thought xD

[red flower]

yeah, but they all have to be in the same row for that
you can change the 7 to change the speed

[stiff locust]

they are all in the same row

ii think i got everything

[cursive gazelle]

Brb

[olive wren]

Why do I have an error saying that im missing a path property

Its that yellow squiggle

[fallow urchin]

howdy yall. I've made quite a few jokers but am trying to tackle a much more difficult one. I'm trying to create a joker which makes planets created by blue seals negative, but I don't know what event(s) to watch for, is there a way to detect cards being added? i imagine im supposed to be looking during the context.end_of_round but i need to detect whenever a card is added during that

(sorry for the long message address when anyone gets a chance)

[red flower]

where does it say folders lol

[olive wren]

oh

im delusional

nice

👍

thank you again

[stiff locust]

you would actually just take_ownership of the blue seal

and set the card it creates to negative when it is created (if the joker is detected at the same time)

that might have a mod conflict if another mod takes ownership of the blue seal for some reason but that's the simplest way

[cursive gazelle]

@wispy falcon

[wispy falcon]

Yes?

[cursive gazelle]

Just align=“cm”

You have it to “tl”

[olive wren]

Wait where the heck do I put it (im so sorry for asking so many questions but my brain is not working rn

[cursive gazelle]

You didn’t close the (

[crimson marlin]

:P

[wispy falcon]

I changed it and it still looks like this

[rotund sable]

Two identical tabs 🤨

[fluid nebula]

i am the worst newbie of all time 🔥

[wispy falcon]

Hm?

[mossy quest]

is there a way to take ownership of every joker?

[willow scroll]

alright, im stumped
i want to have a seal that when applied to a card it makes it impossible to destroy said card via conventional means
i have a hook into both Card:shatter() and Card:start_dissolve() that checks if the seal is there and then doesnt destroy it, plus performs some cleanup from G.play and G.hand (i mightve already picked a suboptimal function to hook but idk, havent read enough source code yet)
everything works except one thing. if a card is saved like this, and then it is scored again, it counts towards the poker hand but it doesnt score itself?? almost as if it skips context.individual or smth
and i geniunely dont know what actually changes about the card for it to not score but still count towards poker hands
i thought maybe card.destroyed being set to true does smth, but manually putting that away does nothing

[rotund sable]

Why are you recreating additions?

[red flower]

yes just loop thorugh all of them but better question is why

[wispy falcon]

I'm making that tab to show stuff that I added after an update to the mod...

[cursive gazelle]

You know you’ll have to update that every patch

[mossy quest]

to tag them all as undiscovered when you start a new profile

[cursive gazelle]

At least major patch

[fluid nebula]

sorry to ask for help again but is it okay if i get some?

[wispy falcon]

I know and I'm committed

[cursive gazelle]

I love the energy

[red flower]

i dont think you need to take ownership for that, you can modify G.P_CENTERS

[rotund sable]

The value mentioned can start undefined

[olive wren]

I'm so sorry for asking thanks for the help, I accidently was using a workspace ive used for other stuff before

mb

[sturdy compass]

I decided I wanted to add some more functionality to JimboQuip

[wispy falcon]

Still need that blank space at the bottom to disappear though

[wispy falcon]

:D

[red flower]

is this the current code

[mossy quest]

how would one do that?

[red flower]

I think you would loop through it and set each value.discovered to true if value.set == "Joker"

[fluid nebula]

i see. the card is the one that is currently selected by my joker (like mail-in rebate)

[red flower]

but im not sure

[fluid nebula]

how should i go about solving this?

[wispy falcon]

Yes, except for "tl" is now "cm"

[stiff locust]

how do I debug the soul_pos never showing up with the new code

[fluid nebula]

maybe call the reset_card function at the start of the round?

[red flower]

have you tried reducing the height

[red flower]

oh i dont use soul pos for this

[stiff locust]

.

[cursive gazelle]

I’ve done it

[wispy falcon]

Yes, it does nothing

[cursive gazelle]

Anyways goodnight chat

[stiff locust]

how do i change it so that it works on the soul_pos

and not the base card

[cursive gazelle]

[red flower]

wdym

[cursive gazelle]

You reduced the wrong height

[stiff locust]

I want the sprite of the soul_pos to change

and not the sprite of the base card

[red flower]

thats what the code i sent does

[stiff locust]

then why is the soul_pos not there

it's just gone

[wispy falcon]

I literally reduced every height and nothing changed

[red flower]

but not with soul_pos, it creates the soul sprite separately

[cursive gazelle]

Based

[fluid nebula]

?

[stiff locust]

regardless of the means by which it is achieved, the soul sprite is not appearing and I just figured out why

[olive wren]

is there any way that I can just give myself my card

like some console mod or something

[red flower]

debugplus

[olive wren]

ok thx

[stiff locust]

also should i

remove the soul_pos from the card's code

to prevent them from overlapping

oh my god it works

this is awesome

[willow scroll]

example of what i mean. like am i missing some obvious parameter in card or smth??

[stiff locust]

is there an easy way to set the scale of the sprite a bit higher using this code

the sprites are a tad too small and resizing them would take too long

[red flower]

i think the first two 0s do that but im not sure

in draw shader

or in the Sprite() you can change the card_w and card_h

[stiff locust]

hovering over the function explains what the function does

it has two args for ms and mr

which i can assume are size and rotation?

[red flower]

ah yes

[stiff locust]

there's also mx and my which are the positions

so it would make sense

this worked and now he is too big

[daring fern]

No, you have to patch SMODS.calculate_destroying_cards

[wispy falcon]

Any other idea?

[stiff locust]

he is beautiful

[red flower]

ni

[red flower]

no

[wispy falcon]

Guess I'll have to keep it like that for now then. Thank you anyways :3

[fluid nebula]

could someone help me figure out how to solve an issue i'm having?
whenever i attempt to discard, it states that i tried to index a nil value, being ass_card

i know this is a failure from not inputting it beforehand, but i want to know how

the card should be randomly selected by the joker, and give +5 mult when discarded

[stiff locust]

now how do I change the background color

[red flower]

ease_background_colour

[stiff locust]

and then i just put any color in

like ease_background_colour(C:red)?

[wispy falcon]

How do I make a seperate window appear, when a button is pressed?

[red flower]

i think it's like ease_background_colour{new_colour = G.C.RED} but i dont remember exactly

[stiff locust]

what

how do I use pseudorandom()

it crashed apparently

pseudorandom("seedle", 1, 10) should work shouldnt it

[solid mesa]

exponentiation needs talisman or you can like, make your own?

[red flower]

yeah

[stiff locust]

it didn't

[red flower]

weird

[idle plaza]

You should use SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "seedle", card.ability.extra.numerator, card.ability.extra.denominator)

Where the numerator is 1 and the denominator is 10, in the card's extras. It'll ensure your probability effect works with any other effect that alters or reacts to probability.

[stiff locust]

I am not trying to do probability

I want a random number

math.random crashed too

for this joker specifically i do not care if it respects the seed or not

[red flower]

where are you using it

[stiff locust]

repetitions and xmult

in a return

[idle plaza]

What's your exact code? Can't debug a crash properly without it.

[frosty rampart]

(the raw pseudorandom function doesn't support passing a numerator/denominator anyway, passing numbers after the seed gives it a range to return a random integer)

[stiff locust]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            return{
                repetitions = math.random(1, 10),
                xmult = math.random(1, 100),
            }
        end

[red flower]

hmm that seems correct

is the crash actually there

[stiff locust]

it's this crash

same crash with pseudorandom and math.random

[wispy falcon]

bump

[red flower]

look into G.FUNCS.overlay_menu

you would need to call it in the function you button calls

[willow scroll]

my ass is too tired rn may i follow up with a question tmrw?

[stiff locust]

i got the same crash when i replaced the random with regular numbers

something is wrong

i figured it out

[wispy falcon]

Can I find that in the wiki?

Nvm, finally found it

[fallen hawk]

anyone know how to make the deck creator mod compatable with the cryptid mod so you can add cryptid mod stuff to a custom deck? If it doesn't exist could you point me where i can learn to make it?

[cursive gazelle]

You’ll have to fork it and add more compatibility

Yourself

[unkempt rover]

Is there any way I can make it so that when my mod is active it removes all the vanilla jokers?

[stiff locust]

splash

[mystic meteor]

Can someone please help me create a config page? I have the config icon showing up but whenever I switch to it I get this error:

Oops! The game crashed:

      }
    }
  }
end

[red flower]

yes if you wait a couple of days there will be an easy way to do it with smods
else look into how pokermon does it

[fallen hawk]

will do. How do i learn to do that?

[mystic meteor]

If anyone has any ideas, please ping me. I am basically coping from TagManager but it doesn't work...

[stiff locust]

you don't need a config tab for enabling your mod

smods already lets you enable/disable mods

is there anything else you want config for

[cursive gazelle]

This is not an easy task you need to understand the deck creating mod code and also cryptid

[mystic meteor]

yes for inputting an api_key and changing when the mod triggers. I was just using enabling the mod as an example/learning.

[stiff locust]

i have no idea what you're trying to do and i'm probably not going to be able to help

[mystic meteor]

right now I just need it to not crash and show up 😭

[stiff locust]

don't we all

[olive wren]

Would there be a way to trigger a joker effect when a certain hand type of a certain suit is played (rather specifically a royal flush of diamonds) I swear I saw some documentary with a ton of stuff like this but I cant find it anymore

[stiff locust]

just check the hand type is flush and then check the suit of 2 cards

and if they're diamonds it's a diamond flush

[olive wren]

oh yeah

thx

[mossy quest]

how would I pull a localization for a joker name to use it somewhere else?

            j_rickie_mirror = {
                name = 'Mirror Joker',
                text = {
                    "Swaps the {C:chips}chips{} and",
                    "{C:red}mult{} of your hand."
                }
            },
        },```

or would I need to add a dictionary entry just for that

[red flower]

localize{ type = "name_text", set = "Joker", key = "j_rickie_mirror" }

[mossy quest]

okay okay we're cooking

[fallen hawk]

I've got time, motivation, and a reckless disregard for my mental wellbeing. I just need to learn LUA then read through the mods' files, right?

[glad osprey]

whats the context for when a card is being destroyed

[red flower]

context.remove_playing_cards for playing cards, context.joker_type_destroyed for everything else

[mystic meteor]

does your mod have a repo? I need help with my config

[red flower]

does this help
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/6cdb73ea92b95713b0afbaa0b20b12106a776276/src/mod_info.lua#L217

[olive wren]

How would I check for a certain hand type I cant seem to figure out how to do that

[red flower]

context.scoring_name == "Flush"

for contains it's next(context.poker_hands["Flush"])

[azure laurel]

hey why this isnt working, pls help

[olive wren]

Is this a dumb way to check for a straight flush

Is there just a straight flush one

[stiff locust]

yes

there is

it's called Straight Flush

[olive wren]

oh

yeah that checks out

thx

[timid zinc]

i have a weird issue, i have a joker that makes some cards face down, i enhanced those face down cards but for some reason this made their face down sprite stone cards (0711a)

[frosty rampart]

you don't need to check for context.before and not context.blueprint twice in a row btw

[olive wren]

ok thx

[frosty rampart]

if it's true in the outer if block, it'll definitely be true in the inner if block

[dull tinsel]

does anyne know if theres a guide to be able to make my own texture pack for some cards ideally compatible with malverk

[rough furnace]

Guys how much storage space on a persons computer can I use before they get mad?

[red flower]

100 gib

[olive wren]

This is what I have right now and I am having an error with getting the suit (im pretty sure its because that is only detecting one card)

Also If I could just say royal flush let me know bc that would be really convinent

[frosty rampart]

context.other_card only exists in contexts where an individual card is scoring (i.e. not context.before)
you need to loop through the context.scoring_hand table if you want to check all the scored cards

[red flower]

for royal flush this is the easiest way
#💻・modding-dev message

(read the follow up questions beneath that too)

[olive wren]

So if I did context.scoring_hand = context.evaluate_poker_hand and context.display_name == "Royal Flush" and then looped through the suits would that work or something like that?

[red flower]

no, what i sent needs to be done in a separate check

[olive wren]

ok

[frosty rampart]

do cards store their original sprite pos at all?

[red flower]

card.config.center.pos?

[frosty rampart]

indeed, thanks for saving me from swimming through debugplus output

[mystic meteor]

Yes and no. I just don't see what I'm doing wrong.

[olive wren]

This is what I have changed it to:

The debug thing says that there is something waiting to happen but it just doesnt kinda

I still need to add suit detection but ill get to that when I get to that

[red flower]

they need to be different checks, not nested

before and evaluate_poker_hand don't happen at the same time

[olive wren]

would I have one trigger a boolean which allows the other to activate?

Ok that worked now the message is sending I just need to do the X mult

The mult is triggering before the hand is played so it gets reset

[frosty rampart]

do context.initial_scoring_step instead of context.before (assuming you do want it to trigger before any cards score)

[mystic meteor]

if I copy it directly and modify my config.lua it kinda works...

[olive wren]

Preferably it triggers after all cards score

[frosty rampart]

then you'll want context.joker_main instead, which triggers during the usual joker scoring section

[olive wren]

Ok thx

[mystic meteor]

got it working :D

[prime knoll]

need some advice here, working on a demonic tutor joker from mtg if anyone is familiar. basically i want it to be “sell this joker, search your deck for a card and put it into your hand” any idea where i could start on making that effect happen?

[velvet ingot]

how to stop this from gaining like X400 mult at end of round?

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

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and not context.game_over then
            if G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.boss then
                card.ability.extra.xmult = (card.ability.extra.xmult or 1) + 2
                card.gained_this_round = true
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return { xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult }
        end
    end,

    -- Reset the flag at the start of a round
    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        card.gained_this_round = false
    end,
    update = function(self, card, dt)
        if G.GAME.current_round and card.gained_this_round and G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_BLIND then
            card.gained_this_round = false
        end
    end
}

[idle plaza]

In your first if statement, also check for and context.main_eval. This ensures the check only runs once, and not for every card in your deck.

[velvet ingot]

where exactly in it?

[idle plaza]

if context.end_of_round and not context.game_over and context.main_eval then

In that line.

[velvet ingot]

thanks!

[prime knoll]

hey guys, trying to get this effect to happen before scoring so the 8s score as polychrome but cant seem to figure out the correct context

[idle plaza]

You can use context.before and loop through context.scoring_hand

[prime knoll]

how exactly does that work? sorry lmao i am really bad at this

how would i write that is more of the question im asking

i tried getting it to detect 8s the way midas mask detects face cards, because that joker does exactly the effect in the right order of things im looking for here. but i was having trouble reverse engineering it

[idle plaza]

You don't need to 'reverse engineer' it. You can check Vanilla Remade to see exactly how a mod would implement it.

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L2159

You can borrow most of its calculate function. Especially, the exact context (if context.before and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then) as well as the for-loop it uses. (for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do)

[prime knoll]

then would i just use the same get_id to get it to detect the 8? i feel like i tried that already but i might have done it wrong. i have been using vanilla remade

[idle plaza]

The :get_id() == 8 part you're using now should work fine. But when you check within that loop, it'll be scored_card:get_id() == 8

[prime knoll]

gotcha. thank you! ill try it out

[prime knoll]

that worked! thank you very much

the only other thing id like it to do is have a message pop up when they become polychrome. would i use the same code from midas mask for that as well?

[idle plaza]

Yes, specifically its return statement.

[prime knoll]

gotcha. what do i put in the faces > 0 part? i tried scored_card again but it crashed 😭

[idle plaza]

Midas Mask just uses "faces" as an arbitrary counter. In other words, "If there weren't any faces turned gold, don't send any message, because nothing happened."

You can call your own counter variable whatever you want. The important part is how its used: Being set to 0 before the loop, being added onto if/when polychrome is added to a card, and then being checked if that counter is > 0.

[pastel kernel]

So the idea for my new consumable was that if you select a card, it’ll be destroyed and appear in the shop at random. If you select Canio for example, it’ll be destroyed from your deck and then appear in the shop but it’ll cost you.

It shouldn’t require showman but Y’know?

[idle plaza]

What's... the point? Is it just to reroll the edition, or?

[prime knoll]

    key = 'Moneymaker',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Moneymaker',
        text = {
            'When a {C:attention}Lucky{} card gives you',
            '{C:money}Money{} or {C:mult}Mult{}, also',
            'receive the opposite effect',
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',

    rarity = 2,

    cost = 1,
    config = {
        extra = {
            mult = 2000,
            dollars = 2000
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_lucky
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.dollars } }
    end,

        context.blueprint then
        return {
                message = "Kachow!",
                colour = G.C.GREEN,
                message_card = card
            }
        end
        if context.pseudorandom_result and context.result and context.identifier == 'lucky_money' then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        elseif context.pseudorandom_result and context.result and context.identifier == 'lucky_mult' then
            return {
                dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars
            }
        end
    end
}```

i have another problem

[pastel kernel]

You can get soul cards in the shop

[prime knoll]

my idea for this joker is to get the opposite trigger when a lucky card triggers for money or mult. it works, but the order of operations is extremely wonky and the joker ends up triggering before you see the lucky card trigger go off (btw its set to 2000 each just for ease of testing)

[pastel kernel]

If you have cryptid, you can buy pointers without equilibrium deck

Or if you have entropy, you can buy define

[idle plaza]

Oh did you mean they'll be available more than once? The way you worded it at first just kinda made it sound like you'd only ever be buying back what you destroyed.

[pastel kernel]

But only if you even acquire it, you have to have a copy of the card to emplace it into the shop.

[pastel kernel]

No, it’s more like

You can get rare items that are never usually found in the shop

Once an item from your deck or whatever is selected, the consumable will destroy it and it’ll forever appear in the shop.

AT RANDOM by the way.

It won’t show up with every reroll, it’s just no longer impossible to get it in the shop.

And you have to acquire your wanted item too, you can’t just look for it in the collection like pointer and define does.

[idle plaza]

What you can do, is to initially store which card(s) gave what, within the pseudorandom_result steps. Then, the Kachow step can give out the money/mult as needed.

[prime knoll]

so i tried this, and for whatever reason the money from the joker is still triggering before anything else

[idle plaza]

What's your code now?

[prime knoll]

        local moneybonus = 0
        local multbonus = 0
        if context.pseudorandom_result and context.result and context.identifier == 'lucky_money' then
            multbonus = multbonus + 1
        end
        if context.pseudorandom_result and context.result and context.identifier == 'lucky_mult' then
            moneybonus = moneybonus + 1
        end

        if multbonus > 0 then
           return {
            mult = card.ability.extra.mult
        }
        end
        if moneybonus > 0 then
            return {
                dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars
            }
        end
    end```

opted to just get rid of the message since it will be showing the money or mult anyway

assuming both lucky abilities trigger, i would like it to be ordered like this card mult > joker money > card money > joker mult

[daring fern]

No, it would have to be card mult > card money > joker money > joker mult

[prime knoll]

that is fine too. as long as the joker is triggering after the card has resolved

[daring fern]

if context.pseudorandom_result and context.result then
    local effects = {}
    if context.identifier == 'lucky_money' then
        table.insert(effects, {mult = card.ability.extra.mult})
    elseif context.identifier == 'lucky_mult' then
        table.insert(effects, {dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars})
    end
    return SMODS.merge_effects(effects)
end

[prime knoll]

i just cant seem to figure that part out

joker money is still triggering before anything else

[daring fern]

Code?

[prime knoll]

pretty much just used exactly what you gave me. was there somewhere different i was supposed to put it?

all i did was put what you put it chat directly after my calculate function and its working exactly how i had it before (albeit in much fewer lines)

[prime knoll]

        extra = {
            mult = 2000,
            dollars = 2000
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_lucky
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.pseudorandom_result and context.result then
            local effects = {}
            if context.identifier == 'lucky_money' then
                table.insert(effects, {mult = card.ability.extra.mult})
            elseif context.identifier == 'lucky_mult' then
                table.insert(effects, {dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars})
            end
                return SMODS.merge_effects(effects)
        end
    end```

[daring fern]

Yes, lucky card mult is calculated before dollars

[prime knoll]

right, but my issue is that the joker is giving money before the lucky card has shown its effect yet

currently it is going joker money > card mult > card money > joker mult

[wintry solar]

Can you film it?

[prime knoll]

yeah sure

[wintry solar]

mkv is not playable on mobile, you need mp4

[prime knoll]

oops my bad

any ideas?

[wintry solar]

You’re on 0711a?

[prime knoll]

what on earth does that mean 😭

steammodded ver?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[prime knoll]

yea i believe i am

[wintry solar]

I thought we had fixed probability result timings but maybe not 🤔

[prime knoll]

oh wow so its an smods thing

thats wild

[split yew]

we've been racking our brains about the timing lmao

[prime knoll]

i could just be doing it wrong still though. i havent tried using the new replacements

how would i need to write the code using the new probability changes?

[wintry solar]

You already are using them

[prime knoll]

gotcha gotcha

[timid zinc]

Is there a way to destroy a card in context.pre_discard? i know i can do it in context.discard but it looks bad

Because visually, I want the destruction effect to happen when the discard button is clicked, but it only happens when it gets to that specific card

[zenith scaffold]

trying to make a blind that basically does what the flint does, but after the hand scores instead of before. How would I modify this?

my best guess is that I need to change the 2nd if statement, I'm just not sure what to change it to

[daring fern]

You would use context.final_scoring_step instead.

[hushed field]

So, I think there's an added final scoring step that smods adds, which you'll wanna use for an effect like this

Modify hand is explicitly about modifying the base hand values, so you shouldn't try and use it to modify anything outside that timing window

[zenith scaffold]

sick, thanks! now to figure out how to get all these to work -_T

[hushed field]

let me know if you have any questions, but I'm sure you'll be able to figure that out! It's not difficult at all once you know about the proper contexts! 😄

[zenith scaffold]

I'm like 90% sure all of them will work, it's just actually implimenting them into the mod itself. I initially made everything on JokerForge, and haven't done much patching

[vast bough]

joker forge mentioned 🔥

[wintry solar]

If you’re directly setting hand chips and mult you should use mult = mod_mult(value) (and mod_chips()) for proper tracking

[mystic meteor]

How do I split things into multiple files?

I thought I would do something like this:

-- main.lua
UI = SMODS.load_file("ui.lua")

UI.init()

local UI = {}

function UI.init()
  -- function code goes here...
end

return UI

But I'm having no luck.

(Please ping me as I am bad at checking)

calling UI.init()

I also had a mistake in the code example so I fixed that

[faint yacht]

assert(SMODS.load_file("ui.lua"))()

[mystic meteor]

Thanks <3

[sand sandal]

hi everyone, for some reason the balance effect is not working exactly properly

how do i access the balance effect manually

[faint yacht]

return { balance = true } doesn't work?

[sand sandal]

it works but the balanced values are incorrect

like i got chips up to ~e13

then everything is down to 8.5

(yeah i had a exponentiation joker)

        if context.joker_main or context.forcetrigger then
            return {
                emult = card.ability.extra.immutable.emult,
                echips = card.ability.extra.immutable.echips,
            }
        end

        if context.final_scoring_step then
            return {
                balance = true,
                message = "Balanced!",
                colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION,
                func = balance_sound,
            }
        end

this is a cut from the joker effect

yep, I'm stupid. This did the trick

I changed it in the calculation already but forgot to do it in the tooltip

You just need to use the not jank version of your other mods

[sand sandal]

i guess, too lazy to be bothered though

[wintry solar]

Don’t expect support then

thanks for the help anyway

yeah it looks like i just have to write the balancing effect myself.

are the hand_chips and mult global variables

[daring fern]

Yes.

[spring lantern]

i'm working on a config tab, so far so good but i can't figure out how to synchronize the toggle and the value it changes - when loading the config tab the toggle always appears disabled even when the option is enabled. anyone worked with this stuff before?

[candid sleet]

how would i change this line from Midas Mask so that it picks a random enhancement and not just gold?
scored_card:set_ability('m_gold', nil, true)

[spring lantern]

try this

in your case it should be guaranteed so something like
scored_card:set_ability(SMODS.poll_enhancement({key = 'whatever', guaranteed = true}), nil, true)

i think

[red flower]

ref_table = config, ref_value = "usemusic"

[spring lantern]

ohhh shit thanks

works perfectly tysm

I believe this will help I am new though so who knows lol https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/DeckOf4s.lua

[delicate spear]

spoiler alert = im using the exact same thing lol

[olive wren]

lol

[delicate spear]

ok update

changing the rank to 10 WORKED

was ist los

[spring lantern]

try 'A'

or 14

[wispy falcon]

bump

[olive wren]

yeah that was totally deffinently 100% what I was going to say in all of my totally definently 100% real gamer wisdom

[delicate spear]

It was "A" before

ima try 14

[wispy falcon]

14 stands for Aces iirc

[spring lantern]

yeah 14 is the id for aces

[delicate spear]

nope.

[spring lantern]

what's the error?

[wispy falcon]

Can you show the code?

[red flower]

"Ace"

[delicate spear]

@wispy falcon its the exact same, just switched from "4" to "A"

[olive wren]

Hold on im going to see if I get the same error

[red flower]

i might pr it so it takes any kind of key

[tepid yacht]

quick question, how can you check if a card is steel or gold in hand

I know you need context.other_card:
but i dont know what function to call nor what the return values are

[delicate spear]

holdon

its not the nil suit

[spring lantern]

try this

[wispy falcon]

bump

[olive wren]

worked on my end

[olive wren]

yeah just change it to say ace

Ace

[red flower]

SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_gold")

[spring lantern]

(or "m_steel" for steel)

[delicate spear]

i dont think that's going to work

[spring lantern]

have you tried it

[olive wren]

I just did it it does work

trust

[delicate spear]

holy shit it did

damn

[spring lantern]

N' knows his balala

if he says something trust it

[delicate spear]

thank you, @olive wren

[olive wren]

man it wasnt me

thank N and alrex

[delicate spear]

my bad

[olive wren]

also im calling it balala from now on

[delicate spear]

thank you @red flower and @spring lantern

[spring lantern]

balala joker poker

[wispy falcon]

bump2

[olive wren]

can someone direct me to a page on checking for suits bc I was working on something for that last night which I was told to go through the context.scoring_hand table to check suits but I dont know how to do that

or just a page in which context.scroring_hand is used

[spring lantern]

  if c:is_suit('Suit') then
    -- do thing
  end
end

[olive wren]

thank you

[spring lantern]

whenever you need to iterate through a list of cards that's how you do it

for loop iterating through pairs(list of cards)

there's technically a better way but this is faster and easier to understand

[olive wren]

ok I will note all of this for the future in my mind palace

[olive wren]

I have gotten here and am def doing something wrong with checking the cards

but I only really need to check one and I dont know how to do that

[daring fern]

Yes, it would be 'Diamonds'

[sand sandal]

ok fixed

[daring fern]

Also IsDiamondsCount doesn't exist.

[olive wren]

yeah its just a var

[wispy falcon]

bump3

[sand sandal]

bro that's a pretty not ok thing to do

IsRoyalFlush is declared as a global var

[olive wren]

oh

uhhhh

[sand sandal]

and there is nothing setting it to false

afaik

so once its true its gonna be true forever

[olive wren]

I set it to false

[sand sandal]

use local isRoyalFlush = false

[olive wren]

I think

[sand sandal]

it's initially nil

which is a falsy value

[olive wren]

I just realised what you were sayinh

and have no clue how to fix this

Im just going to check manually if it is a royal flush but I also have no clue how to do that

I just need to check if there are an Ace and a Ten in the SFlush right

(I also dont really know how to do that)

[red flower]

can you copy the code here

i can fix it

[olive wren]

IDK how to copy it over ill just do this for now

I guess I can lit copy the whole thing

[red flower]

if i have to type it im not doing it lol

[olive wren]

SMODS.Joker {

                    }    
        end
end

}

I dont even have the thing checking the suit yet but i'm trying to make it so that the royal flush cant be selected and then have them play a dif hand

[red flower]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.evaluate_poker_hand then
        card.ability.extra.IsRoyalFlush = context.display_name == "Royal Flush"
    end

        local isDiamonds = true

        end
    end
end

[manic rune]

question, cant you just check if its a royal flush in context.joker_main

[red flower]

you can check manually yes

this is easier imo

[manic rune]

🤔 theres no context.display_name in context.joker_main?

[red flower]

no

[manic rune]

damn

[red flower]

its a thing i added for that context

[wispy falcon]

What stuff goes into the config of G.UIT.O?

[manic rune]

anything thats an object

dynatext, cardareas, cards

object = ...

[olive wren]

TYSM

[wispy falcon]

Okay and let's say I have a cardarea added, do the cards I want to add go into the childnode?

[manic rune]

yes

[red flower]

are you still trying to recreate the collection

[manic rune]

if you add cards to the cardarea then it should show up there

[wispy falcon]

Okay, gonna try that

[wispy falcon]

Yes, adding the buttons functions right now

[red flower]

why dont you just copy the regular collection

smods has a lot of functions for that

[wispy falcon]

How?

[red flower]

go into the code and do ctrl-c and ctrl-v lol

its all here https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/src/ui.lua

[wispy falcon]

Damn, guess I was overthinking it xD

[red flower]

SMODS.card_collection_UIBox is what you want for the cards

[wintry solar]

That’s what I said yesterday 😭

[wispy falcon]

<@&1133519078540185692>

Damn, that was fast. Nice one xD

[willow scroll]

oh wow this was easier than what I was doing, thank you very much

[harsh warren]

i need help, im trying to make a joker like the popcorn one, but it doesnt work

[red flower]

have you looked at the code for popcorn

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/a1350db5a08a2b7a3296895581991c381e29b5a8/src/jokers.lua#L2808

[stiff locust]

i know you can use the funny lua for checking if a file exists but

would it be able to return the name of a folder?

[red flower]

if a specific folder exists or what subfolders are in a folder?

[stiff locust]

I want to find the name of a folder

this is a folder that will exist (on windows) and not everyone names it the same thing

and I know the directory to get to it, but how do I check the name of the folder that is there

[red flower]

you can list the files doing NFS.getDirectoryItems("path/to/folder"), but idk how you would get if it's the folder you want
you can check if it's a folder and not a file doing NFS.getInfo("path/to/folder").type == "directory"

[stiff locust]

that's surprisingly easy

I can just manually blacklist the other folders because they are fortunately few

and named the same thing every time

[wispy falcon]

How do I make my own table?

[olive wren]

I have designed a totally very good looking joker at 1x scale, I assume whenever I am making a new joker I just increase the drawing size and then add another right?

[stiff locust]

yeah

[red flower]

elaborate?

[stiff locust]

leave a 1-pixel blank border around each joker on the sheet

[olive wren]

ok

[stiff locust]

that means there will be a 2-pixel gap between each joker, and they are 1 pixel away from each edge if adjacent to an edge

[olive wren]

👍

[wispy falcon]

I want to change G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker to something that shows only the new stuff I added (That I would change into the table). So how do I make my own table for that?

From here:

    G.FUNCS.overlay_menu {
        definition = SMODS.card_collection_UIBox(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker, {5,5,5}, {
            no_materialize = true, 
            modify_card = function(card, center) card.sticker = get_joker_win_sticker(center) end,
            h_mod = 0.95,
        })
    }
end```

[red flower]

loop through G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker and make a new table containing your cards

[olive wren]

A. do I need an X2 for each one
B. does that just mean scaling up the png?

[stiff locust]

increase the size of the sheet to include those borders yes

[wispy falcon]

How?

[stiff locust]

and, once you are done with making the joker sprites, export the entire sheet at 2X scale

and put it in assets/2x

[olive wren]

ok

[stiff locust]

regular in assets/1x

[harsh warren]

it works

thanks

[red flower]

local new_jokers = {
    ["j_modprefix_key_1"] = true, -- put the key for your new cards here
    ["j_modprefix_key_2"] = true,
}

local new_pool = {}

for _, center in ipairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker) do
    if new_jokers[center.key] then
        table.insert(new_pool, center)
    end
end

then use new_pool

actually this is dumb

[wispy falcon]

What?

[red flower]

local new_jokers = {
    "j_modprefix_key_1", -- put the key for your new cards here
    "j_modprefix_key_2",
}

local new_pool = {}

for _, key in ipairs(new_jokers) do
    table.insert(new_pool, G.P_CENTERS[key])
end

better

[wispy falcon]

1. Can I use that for everything (vouchers, booster packs etc.) or just jokers?
2. new_pool replaces G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker, right?

[olive wren]

I am very much failing to set up the atlas for my jokers, I believe it has something to do with the pathing

[red flower]

1. anything thats a center so yes for vouchers and packs
2. yes

[wispy falcon]

Nice, thank you :D

[olive wren]

Is it because I only have the one

should I make a second for this

or do I route it to a folder

[wintry solar]

path = "JokersImages.png"

[olive wren]

oh

no it still doesnt feel like it

[red flower]

where do you have the image, is it in both assets/1x and assets/2x?

[olive wren]

yes

[wispy falcon]

Wait, is something in the collection that isn't a center?

[wintry solar]

Blinds and tags

[olive wren]

do I need to route it to the assets folder?

[wintry solar]

No

[wispy falcon]

How would I do it there?

[red flower]

i think tags have the same logic but with G.P_TAGS
blinds have a different collection view i dont recall how that one works

[wispy falcon]

And decks are center too or not?

[red flower]

yes but they also have a different collection ui

[olive wren]

I forgot to change the name of the 2X one 🤦‍♂️

[frosty rampart]

i'd like to once again ask if anyone knows how to fix this
the behavior of my mega dice booster (which you just draw cards from) doesn't exactly match the mega buffoon pack; i'd like the whole UI to stick around instead of briefly disappearing
(video 1 is the dice booster, video 2 is the buffoon pack for comparison)

[stiff locust]

how would i save the suit of a card

figured it out

[red flower]

end_of_round?

the area exists during the entire run

[hybrid shadow]

alr lemme try that

[spring lantern]

just here to say whoever is responsible for the existence of this func you're a lifesaver and i love you

[red flower]

me

[solemn shuttle]

is there any sort of tutorial for animating actual card sprites

i saw there was smth wip in the vanilla remade wiki but i was just curious

ive used love.draw stuff for onscreen effects but

i can prolly figure smth out if there's nothing, im moreso just curious

[red flower]

it's mostly switching the position of the sprite in the atlas using card.children.center:set_sprite_pos

[solemn shuttle]

oh wait you can just set the sprite pos like that

okay that's actually really useful 👀

[olive wren]

As some of you have seen: New rarity time POGGIES!

Does anybody have a link or a refrence to a mod's code with custom rarity

[rocky plaza]

heres docs on rarities
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Rarity

also vanillaremade has example rarities

[cursive gazelle]

How to resize sprites again ?

[olive wren]

thx

[rocky plaza]

do you want to scale a sprite to 2x/1x or what exactly?

[cursive gazelle]

I want to display a high scale image

But i don’t want it looking big

[rocky plaza]

oh so you want to display like a 213 x 285 high res image on a joker without it being 3x as large?
i myself am not familiar enough with balatros sprite system to answer confidently then

[cursive gazelle]

Ahh

[red flower]

there's a parameter for that

display_size or something

check the docs

[cursive gazelle]

I’ll look in the docs

Ty

[rocky plaza]

oh i think i found it

[cursive gazelle]

Should this be in the atlas

[rocky plaza]

in the card ur making

[cursive gazelle]

I see

Thanks

[olive wren]

I know the default rarities have a number assigned to them but for custom ones do I just use the key or name

[spring lantern]

yall remind me how to check if a card has any edition

[cursive gazelle]

SMODS.Has_edition ?

Check the docs

[ocean sinew]

how do I check If played poker hand is a specific hand like High Card for example

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-if-a-card-has-a-specific-editionenhancementsealsticker

[spring lantern]

ohh shit thanks

[cursive gazelle]

Remove next

[ocean sinew]

so context.poker_hands["High Card"]

[red flower]

context.scoring_name == "High Card"

[ocean sinew]

oh thanks

[red flower]

this will be always true

[ocean sinew]

context.joker_main and context.scoring_name == "High Card"
or just context.scoring_name == "High Card"?

[cursive gazelle]

Right because every hand contains a high card

[red flower]

no because all hands start as empty tables and empty tables are truthy

[red flower]

first one

[ocean sinew]

thanks

[cursive gazelle]

What are you making seu pai

[wintry solar]

I’m pretty sure just putting the correct dimensions as your px/py is enough for hi res images

[olive wren]

Rarities are confusing fr

[wintry solar]

You shouldn’t need to play with display size iirc

[ocean sinew]

from steal a brainrot

[olive wren]

why

[ocean sinew]

https://steal-a-brainrot.wiki/Noobini_Pizzanini

[olive wren]

stop

[ocean sinew]

no

I made mutations too

but I still need to figure out how to add badges to cards

[olive wren]

we dont need our game to be tainted by thou forces of evil and bombarded by the very place in which evil lies

[ocean sinew]

for now it only buffs and doesnt add the mutation badge

[ocean sinew]

We need Noobini Pizzanini and Cocofanto Elefanto in Balatro

[olive wren]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[ocean sinew]

yes

[olive wren]

oh ok

[ocean sinew]

Though my mod will get cancelled

but roblox kids will like it

[olive wren]

NOT THE ROBLOX KIDS

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

lol

[ocean sinew]

yes

I need to summon them into the balatro community

and this is the only way

[olive wren]

I mean maybe it will make them more sane

[ocean sinew]

I got a diamond mutated splash

mutation have a base chance of 1%

diamond has a base chance of 10% while gold has 90%

which means I got a 0.1% mutation

diamond increases joker values by x3

WHICH MEANS I GOT A VERY RARE AND GOOD MUTATION ON SPLASH

WHICH HAS NO JOKER VALUES

😭

why not on burglar

all I wanted was +9 hands

[stiff locust]

splash

:DDD

[idle plaza]

sploosh

[ocean sinew]

Btw does someone know how I add custom badges to jokers

[stiff locust]

you mean like the rarity text

you can do it in set_card_type_badge

[ocean sinew]

I wanted to check If the card has mutations and If It does it adds their badges

is it possible to do that with set_card_type_badge too?

[frosty rampart]

if you want to add new badges, use set_badges instead

[stiff locust]

oh fair

[ocean sinew]

Card:set_badges()?

[final jewel]

I have a small question, if I copy functionnality part from a toml file but not the bug with some card part, Does the bugs will occur or it will be fix because of the other toml

[frosty rampart]

no, it's a function you define in the original joker definition
from SMODS.Joker wiki documentation:

[ocean sinew]

oh thanks

[olive wren]

This is my rarity script, how do I assign this rarity to a card?

[frosty rampart]

rarity = "modprefix_GreedRarity" in the card's initial definition

REPLACE "modprefix" WITH YOUR ACTUAL MOD'S PREFIX

[olive wren]

ok thx

wait whats a mod prefix

im kinda dumb fr fr

I just know the name

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-classmod-prefix

[olive wren]

thx

[ocean sinew]

is there a way to hook every card set_badge function so it adds my badges?

[frosty rampart]

hmm
not sure. you might want to represent the thing you're making as its own card modifier type and then set it up to add its badge from there, like how editions add a badge to cards

[olive wren]

I have a feeling I am missing something

[cursive gazelle]

Mod prefix is wrong

[frosty rampart]

your mod prefix is mycoolmod

[olive wren]

I should prob learn to read before asking questions next time

[frosty rampart]

bump 🥺

[mighty ember]

My game freezes after some minutes and crashed, can someone help me please ?

I have the Cryptid mod installed

[red flower]

you want to ask in #⚙・modding-general

or https://discord.gg/cryptid-1264429948970733782

[fluid nebula]

yo i need help with two things if that's okay

[olive wren]

no. Pick one.

👿

[rotund sable]

Don't ask to ask

[fluid nebula]

sorry i just get worried that i ask too many questions

but i was wondering how i could make my own custom message

i noticed in vremade's code that it localizes certain messages

marked as k_[keyword]_ex

like 'k_upgrade_ex'

[red flower]

if you dont care about localization you can just do message = "Your message here" if you do you need to add them to a localization file under misc.dictionary

[frosty rampart]

example (misc is outside the descriptions table)

[final jewel]

Why does the price of my things isnt like in the misprint deck ?

[chrome token]

heyo-- kind of a dumb question but how do i get the amount of chips/mult played in the currently played hand?
i'm kinda new to balatro modding and i'm slowly learning about it as i go on 🥲

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-the-current-hands-chipsmult

[chrome token]

...man how did i miss that ._. thank you 😅

[red flower]

:3

[frosty rampart]

afaik this method no longer applies if you're on the dev build of steamodded (i.e. not 0711a, the latest release)

[chrome token]

oh? well is there any other method i should be aware of?

[red flower]

i think it does

[olive wren]

Im trying to make a card that has a 50% chance to increase the end of round payout and a 50% chance to decrease the end of round payout at the end of a round but I don't know how to change the end of round payout in general

[wheat tulip]

I put a bunch of mods together and then it crashed at the item shop

[frosty rampart]

it maybe does still work so you should be fine
i'm thinking about how smods is adding a new SMODS.Scoring_Parameter class, i thought maybe they wanted to dissuade people from using hand_chips and mult directly in the future

[hushed field]

Yeahhh, that happens when you use a lot of mods. Best way to test is to install a couple at the time and see if that works

Also, if I can reccomend one more mod and do some self-promo, you might wanna check out #glue

[wheat tulip]

Noted

[hushed field]

But I recommend trying to figure out what works and go from there.You're for sure running a dev version of smods, which also will add to instability

Glue's made to potentially add more shop slots, but the main thing I think it's good for is to just let you return the joker spawn rate back to normal if you play with a lot of mods that add consumables, haha

[ocean sinew]

gold mutation + diamond mutation chance of this happening is 0.05%

this is peak balatro btw

[olive wren]

oh lord

also 18 dollars at the end of the round?

[ocean sinew]

yeah cuz gold buffs values by 1.5

and diamond buffs by 3

so its 4x1.5=6x3=18

this is so cursed ong

😭

[fluid nebula]

aha, thank you

is the localisation file in the original balatro files?

[red flower]

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

[fluid nebula]

oh, in steammodded

thanks!

come to think of it now, it wouldn't make sense to edit the original game files themselves for a mod

[olive wren]

How do I increase the amount of money that a card gives at the end of a round

[ocean sinew]

card.ability.extra.<money_value>=card.ability.extra.<money_value>+1 for example

[wispy falcon]

Okay, I think I'm really stupid right now. Why does it say this?

[quick scarab]

Can I theoretical make a file that will only containing values where the mod will read all of them to use it, say as a example to use as a mult on a certain joker. If this is possible how would I make this?

I already have the file containing stuff

I just need a way that these variables are used by other files

[fluid nebula]

i don't care about localisation for now, considering nothing is really being developed for public release right now

i think i will though. languages aren't my strong suit though

and i don't want to use google translate because it will just get things wrong

[wispy falcon]

Was being stupid but found the error

[cursive gazelle]

You got this giga chad

[fluid nebula]

hey. i did the first method and it didn't work

unless i need them in speech marks and not apostrophes

[red flower]

show code

[fluid nebula]

something tells me this is going to be a very obvious solution that i didn't know

[frosty rampart]

are you putting it in the pseudorandom_probability or is there more code off to the right of the screenshot

[red flower]

return {
  message = "Winner!",
  dollars = 50
}

instead of those 2 lines

[fluid nebula]

the person is meant to gain $50, not have their money set to 50 if it triggers

[red flower]

yes

[red flower]

thats what that does

[fluid nebula]

there's more code. basically, there's a 1 in 6 chance it triggers when a blind selected

[fluid nebula]

strange. i guess ease_dollars(x) and dollars = x are the same?

[red flower]

yes

[fluid nebula]

thank you for your help, n

[red flower]

in a calculation return

[fluid nebula]

i feel guilty asking so many questions

[frosty rampart]

returning a value like chips, mult, or dollars in calculate generally adds to the relevant value, it doesn't set it

[red flower]

dont worry about it

[frosty rampart]

don't be, that's why the community exists. (but also reading documentation + examples is a pretty good skill to have :P)

[fluid nebula]

i see

also the code is still not working

do i need to set the message's appearance to where the joker is?

wait it just says return nvm

i somehow missed the "return" part

got that in my head for next time

thank you N

[quick scarab]

Quick bump

Even if I set as global it doesn't seem to read

[cursive gazelle]

Fred did you got vscode yet

[olive wren]

This is my attempt at making it increase randomly, it worked intially but failed to work once I added the probabilities

[frosty rampart]

context.man_eval is always false because context.man_eval does not exist

[mystic meteor]

does anyone know how to make a text input in the config? I don't see any examples of doing that.

[olive wren]

Its working now yat

yay

how do I get the probability to show in the description?

[frosty rampart]

any of the code text that's not visible here is just a comment

(from here )

[olive wren]

huh

I have that I think

[fluid nebula]

no. i'm gonna do that

[cursive gazelle]

Listen i can buy it for you

[fluid nebula]

no, no, it's okay

[cursive gazelle]

[fluid nebula]

thank you for the offer but really

i'm good

[cursive gazelle]

Okay then suit yourself

[rotund sable]

Someone link the part of VanillaRemade wiki where the vscode is setup

[rocky plaza]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#2-install-a-code-editor

[fluid nebula]

oh by the way

sorry to be a nuisance but may i ask for help with some code

[frosty rampart]

https://dontasktoask.com

[cursive gazelle]

No you’re not a nuisance dude
It’s just that the code is not highlighted

(Brain cannot function)

[cursive gazelle]

Btw can i ask where’s your pfp from

[rotund sable]

I think

some

Is a syntax error

[fluid nebula]

oh

[fluid nebula]

sorry

[frosty rampart]

twitter post of the original art is in my discord bio, the character is Susie Haltmann from Kirby: Planet Robobot

[fluid nebula]

just one second before i type my question

[cursive gazelle]

I really liked it
The art style peaked my interest

[olive wren]

this is my attempt at adding the chance into the description

[fluid nebula]

i have a joker known as assassin, which i want to gain 5 mult whenever a certain rank is discarded
whenever i discard any card, i get this error

any help?

[olive wren]

it did not work and I dont know what to do

[fluid nebula]

i think it's something to do with setting ass_card before, but i'm not sure how to do that

[olive wren]

I know im dumb bc C is color

But I dont know what else goes there

[cursive gazelle]

Are you sure

This is correct?

[fluid nebula]

it should be

[cursive gazelle]

It’s green

[fluid nebula]

i mainly replicated code from mail-in rebate in vremade

would you like all of the code for assassin?

[olive wren]

Yeah but it just doesnt display a number

I think I need to increment the #2# and #3# thing but I dont know how

[cursive gazelle]

You need to return them in loc_vars

[cursive gazelle]

Sure

[olive wren]

This is what it looks like rn

not even nil

[frosty rampart]

{C:numerator} and {C:denominator} aren't valid, so it might be bugging out there
what happens if you take out the colors entirely

[olive wren]

nvm fixed it

Yeah that was mainly the problem, +returning values, +some other stuff

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#named-colours-dictionary-gargsloc_colours very helpful documentation

[olive wren]

thx

[cursive gazelle]

Add a check to handle when ass card is nil

[fluid nebula]

i see. so i call the function reset_ass_card when it is nil?

[cursive gazelle]

local ass_card = pseudorandom_element(valid_ass_cards, 'ass' .. G.GAME.round_resets.ante)
if ass_card then
    G.GAME.current_round.ass_card_rank = ass_card.base_value
    G.GAME.current_round.ass_card_id = ass_card.base_id
else
    G.GAME.current_round.ass_card_rank = 'Ace'
    G.GAME.current_round.ass_card_id = nil
end```

Something like this

[fluid nebula]

thank you

[fluid nebula]

line 92, unexpected symbol near 'local'

i might have placed this snippet of code in the incorrect position

[cursive gazelle]

Might have an extra , or }

[fluid nebula]

don't see anything strange here

[rotund sable]

oh god

you have to replace the old snippet

[frosty rampart]

yes you definitely put that in the wrong place

[cursive gazelle]

Why’s the “if”offset ?

[frosty rampart]

an SMODS.Joker object can't just run code, it just stores parameters. those parameters can be functions, and then you can put code in those functions

[ocean sinew]

@cursive gazelle look at this

[cursive gazelle]

Oh sick

Take ownership ?

[fluid nebula]

my bad

[cursive gazelle]

What’s the golden and diamond badges

[cursive gazelle]

[ocean sinew]

hooked set_badges

function Card:init(X, Y, W, H, card, center, params)
    self.mutations = {}
    print("going to call function on center:",center)
    if center.applied_mutation_badges == nil then
    local last_set_badges = center.set_badges
        center.set_badges = function (self,card,badges)
        mutation_set_badges(self,card,badges)
        if last_set_badges then last_set_badges(self,card,badges) end
    end

    end

    return last_init(self,X, Y, W, H, card, center, params)
end

and on Card:load too

oh wait
