[long sun]

wait lemme check the shader itself

ah i see, ya

[robust marsh]

any way to make sure a custom joker spawns with no edition? I know no_edition is a thing but again I don't know if just slotting that in there would cut it. I've only seen people use that with SMODS.create_card

[long sun]

it mentions drilled and not drilled_consistent

hopefully this fixes it

[cursive gazelle]

You can set edition to nothing

[long sun]

ya that was it!! but now, i need a way of removing the base draw step

[cursive gazelle]

Wdym

[long sun]

so what's happening here is

[manic rune]

what

[long sun]

the deck is being drawn with the diffuse shader

and then drawn with the drilled_consistent shader

[manic rune]

please provide me some context for this specific sentence.

[long sun]

but i'd like only the latter to be drawn

[cursive gazelle]

Yeah i have no idea

LOL

Bepis btw can lovely patches help me change a base game shader to a different one ?

[ripe jacinth]

i want to try and make a shader

for an edition

how do i learn glsl

[cursive gazelle]

It’s pretty difficult

[cursive gazelle]

I won’t recommend since it doesn’t translate very well
It’s 70% the same thing tho

[ripe jacinth]

hlsl?

[cursive gazelle]

What i would recommend is going through random shaders you like and seeing how they make the effect

That’s how i learnt

[ripe jacinth]

i just want a card effect that basically uhh

intense and foreboding glow

[cursive gazelle]

That’s easy

[ripe jacinth]

thats easy

[cursive gazelle]

I have something like this if you want to copy it

[ripe jacinth]

oh

[cursive gazelle]

But it has some extra effect

Just get rid of it

[ripe jacinth]

i'll try

[cursive gazelle]

Basically just draws a line

[ripe jacinth]

what language is this written in?

[cursive gazelle]

And increase the values a little for more bright since i have it slightly yellow

[ripe jacinth]

the shaders i mean

[cursive gazelle]

F# and glsl

[ripe jacinth]

..F???

i've never heard of F#

like ever

wtf

[cursive gazelle]

It’s pretty neat yeah

[ripe jacinth]

oh its like C#

[cursive gazelle]

https://github.com/nassymdev/flipside/tree/main/Assets/shaders

[ripe jacinth]

in the fact that it's made by micron soft

[cursive gazelle]

Those are my shaders

Sadly not commented

[ripe jacinth]

which shader are u talkign about here

[cursive gazelle]

Sword params is the one i’m talking about

[robust marsh]

alrighty

[cursive gazelle]

You can download and see them for yourself

[cursive gazelle]

Mhm ?

Btw if you need references or code with explaining and comments look in smods /examples / edition example /assets/shaders theres one called ionized that has comments explaining the basics

In the github

[ripe jacinth]

is there any code docs on how to implement these as an edition

[cursive gazelle]

Smods/examples/edition example

[primal robin]

[cursive gazelle]

In the GitHub

[ripe jacinth]

ty

[cursive gazelle]

That’s literally what i said here lmao

[long sun]

my editioned cards are appearing like this. what have i done wrong?

[cursive gazelle]

Hey sleepy how’s jtem doing

[primal robin]

we are doing anything but working on hotpot

as usual

[cursive gazelle]

Missing the dissolve shader i think

[cursive gazelle]

[long sun]

the drilled shader is also not being rendered

[cursive gazelle]

I love drawstep

[primal robin]

s

[red flower]

shouldn't it be card and not self

[long sun]

for which?

.children.center, or .ARGS?

[red flower]

children

[long sun]

👍

[red flower]

actually i think it's both

[cursive gazelle]

Schizophrenia

[red flower]

hmmm looking at my code self is fine, but the card argument is wrongly named i think

[primal robin]

s, youre "new" in this chat right, or who are you

[cursive gazelle]

I’m new Somewhat

I’ve been in the server for a while but i only made one mod and it’s unfinished

[red flower]

if that doesn't work try changing card to self

[long sun]

this doesn't work either. the trues were for no tilt, so i assumed they were unneeded

[primal robin]

I see

Also I seen how you can draw. Portfolio?

[long sun]

for the ARGS? or

[daring fern]

Change the arguments to card, layer

[red flower]

ok i woke up a bit more
card there is actually layer so change all instances of card for self
also self.edition is a table

[cursive gazelle]

Hm?

[long sun]

ah gotcha

[primal robin]

I want to see more your drawings

[cursive gazelle]

Oh i’m not really a good artist in pixel art nor digital since i only use a mouse i just do some sketches lol

I’ll show you later tho i’m on my phone currently

[primal robin]

ok

[long sun]

we're not there yet 😭

[primal robin]

only shadow drawn

[long sun]

do i still need to replace card with self?

oh wait

oh i see

nevermind

[red flower]

drawstep just has two arguments card, layer

[long sun]

SOB

and it's also not using the consistent shader

[cursive gazelle]

That’s a tiny ace

[long sun]

this may just be an issue with the shader though

it may be rendering the base card on top of the Ace front

[cursive gazelle]

This happened to me once

Accidentally rendered the card with the shader on top of the card

Lol

[long sun]

😭

wait so, lower priority?

here's what the shader's doing anyway

[daring fern]

‎

[cursive gazelle]

[long sun]

no change with a priority of 0

this is so cursed 😭

[cursive gazelle]

I love coding in my note app

SMODS.DrawStep({
key = “drilledcarddraw”,
order = 21,
func = function(self, card, layer)
if card.edition and card.edition.key == “e_phanta_drilled” then
if card.phanta_drilled_consistent then
card.children.center:draw_shader(
‘phanta_drilled_consistent’,
nil,
card.ARGS.send_to_shader
)
else
card.children.center:draw_shader(
‘phanta_drilled’,
nil,
card.ARGS.send_to_shader
)
end
end
end
})```

I just added ARGS to parameter

[long sun]

trying

[cursive gazelle]

[long sun]

it's back to not rendering at all ;u;

[cursive gazelle]

Is this how people in notepad code ? This is hell

[cursive gazelle]

Rip

[long sun]

okay, i now know what's happening, but not how to fix it

the shader is being drawn exclusively

nothing else is being drawn over the top of it

[wintry solar]

what needs to be drawn over it?

[long sun]

well, actually, it needs to be drawn on top

the center and the front need to be drawn

and all the other stuff

[wintry solar]

then set your order to be lower

[long sun]

how low?

[wintry solar]

center is drawn at -10

[long sun]

ah

[wintry solar]

you can find them all in carddraw.lua

[long sun]

-11 it is then

[manic rune]

whats the vanilla function for cloning tables again

i forgot

[long sun]

1. still not working
2. i need to fix card extras disappearing too

-# this is drawn using front

[daring fern]

copy_table

‎

[manic rune]

smtcom asking the real questions here

the "in the position of a seal" part would need you to manually work with positions though, since seal textures are drawn on card-size canvas lol

but i assume you can kinda copy the code of how balatro applies the texture of stickers/seals on cards, except change that with the joker's texture?

lemme check

[long sun]

mm, i think i see the problem, but i don't know how to overcome it

it's disabling the base shader, and also not drawing it

[daring fern]

Yes, but how do I change the size and position?

[manic rune]

mm one sec, lemme experiment smt

[long sun]

closer

mm, this is too difficult to implement

i'm gonna omit Drilled from the new update until there's a solution

[manic rune]

hm

[long sun]

i suspect i need to do something more clever with the shader, but the base card needs to be disabled for there to be a hole

otherwise, it draws over it

[wintry solar]

what is drilled supposed to do?

[long sun]

it's meant to be a hole through the card

+1 consumable slot, unless it's on a playing card, in that case, +1 discard when scored

[wintry solar]

you'll need to set every layer to draw the hole then

so instead of stuff using the dissolve shader it'd need to use your shader with a hole in it

[long sun]

mm, i see

[wintry solar]

probably easier to do with a draw_shader hook rather than a draw step

[long sun]

gotchagotcha ^u^

i'll look into it, thanks!

[manic rune]

what the hell is G.shared_seals for :3

[long sun]

what does card.ARGS.send_to_shader contain?

[manic rune]

i have no clue where the seal's object is in a card

hmmm

[daring fern]

It's where all the seal sprites are.

[manic rune]

mm

i tried changing a lot of stuff in there, but nothing seemed to affect the seal's rendering itself though

my idea was that you can similarly have a table like that and change the scale in there, but it doesnt seem to change anything

[long sun]

try ability.seal?

that's where the object is

wait, cancel

nvm

[manic rune]

thats just the config table lmao

[daring fern]

You mean the center?

[long sun]

and seal is just the key

mm, i see what you mean

[manic rune]

oh, yeah

[long sun]

wait, what about G.P_SEALS?

[manic rune]

i mean, the uhhh something thats placed in a card so that the game knows to render it

[long sun]

is that a thing?

[manic rune]

idk

[long sun]

mm nvm

[manic rune]

it has VT, scale and allat idk what to call it

[long sun]

oh no wait it is that :3

it's all in P_SEALS

the centers, anyway

[red flower]

the sprite object?

[manic rune]

ye

well at least i got it 50% correct on the object one lmao

[red flower]

it's G.shared_seals haha

[manic rune]

wtf............

[long sun]

(bump)

[wintry solar]

all seals use the same sprite

[red flower]

it's drawn here
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/9ed9ae184c61353ae70e9e88fa3d62a6b78ce5a3/src/card_draw.lua#L266

[ripe jacinth]

oh no. im now adding more animated jokers

oh god

[manic rune]

yeah im checking that rn

would changing stuff in G.shared_seals.Redalso change how all red seals are rendered, or do i have to do some more stuff

[daring fern]

Yes, it would.

[manic rune]

mmmmm

idk nothing seems to be changing rn 3:

[red flower]

the alignment is done by draw_shader

im pretty sure

[manic rune]

i kinda changed a lot of number values in the seal too

and i havent seen anything changing so far

[red flower]

try :set_sprite_pos

[manic rune]

oh that works

guh

hmmm

[red flower]

yeah all the positioning and stuff is done by the shader i think

im not good at the graphics part

[long sun]

(bump)

[manic rune]

its harder to just, make the seal rendering bigger than i thought lol

[manic rune]

maybe i have to patch into here so that it uses another variable to change the scale?

[red flower]

draw_shader has a scale argument i think

[long sun]

weird, this makes no reference of any table values

[manic rune]

mmmm probably ms (maybe the s stands for scale idfk)

[red flower]

yeah

[red flower]

i think custom shaders just don't use those defaults

[long sun]

right icic

[red flower]

i dont think it was scale

[manic rune]

well it certainly works lol

[red flower]

funny

[manic rune]

@daring fern sorry for taking too long to answer your question, but you want to change those in the function to change the size and position :p

[manic rune]

"increase seal's value and size by X2"

[long sun]

how can i check if the card that the shader is being applied on, in draw_shader, meets certain conditions?

[daring fern]

No, that's this problem again: #💻・modding-dev message

[manic rune]

umm i have no clue what the problem means 3:

and i gotta go out to eat for my bday party rn, sorry.....

[long sun]

oh! happy late birthday ^^;

[manic rune]

thanks ghost :3

[long sun]

np bepis :3

[red flower]

enjoy

[long sun]

<@&1133519078540185692>

🤍

[long sun]

there's gotta be a better wayyyyy

[worthy stirrup]

I know this might be a nitpick, i would put it all on one line so you dont have to deal with the changing of rows

[long sun]

right, sorry to bother, i'm really struggling with this

i need to be able to tell if a card needs to be rendered with the hole or not, but draw_shader only deals with sprites

and i tried a hack solution for that, but to no avail

halp 😭

[wintry solar]

oh that is a very good point

[hushed field]

I've been reading up on the way Love2D handles graphics for other shader related issues, and I think I did see that the engine allows for sprite masking 🤔

But I might very well be misremembering

[long sun]

huge if true

[hushed field]

Oh yeah, Love2D allows you to mask using Stencils, but I'm not sure how that properly translates to how Balatro handles shaders

I think there might be an issue with a stencil being a very fundamental objecttype so I don't know how easily you can use it to start messing with Balatro cards

[wintry solar]

I think you'd have to change cards into being individual stencils

afaik, the entire screen is one stencil

[hushed field]

interesting

[long sun]

i switched back to doing it the regular way, what i was doing before, and noticed another issue — if a card has a draw, and is drawing another shader, it does it on top of the hole

it seems that this can only be fixed by hooking draw_shader

i'm honestly inclined to scrap this edition

it's causing too many issues 😭

ya i'll maybe bring it back later

hopefully by then, there'll be better SMODS support for shaders like this ;u;

/nm

[/not mad]

[crystal perch]

no because it's applying it to a joker yet it gives +1 handsize not +1 joker slot

it's basically merging juggler into an existing joker

[slim ferry]

Im pretty sure that you should disable base card shaders if your shader modifies the shape of the card

The SMODS.Edition docs say so at least

[long sun]

well ya, i've done that

but this card has a draw function attached to it

[unkempt thicket]

What if you change the draw order to 21-29?

[long sun]

i've tried that

[languid canopy]

currently trying to make a specific joker play a song, however, apparently i cant bc talisman ? (ping plz)

[royal badger]

so normally if card.ability.extra.goldFred = false it should do the else thing, but in game it does nothing (the 3 in pseudorandom was to test if it works, I deleted that 3 now and added all numbers to pseudorandom, but now only goldfred gets acticated and the rest isnt at all) I found out that goldFred is somehow always true, but idk how to fix that

[ripe jacinth]

how do i get my joker to display on the title screen

[sand sandal]

Look at cryptid

[ripe jacinth]

which file does that

[idle plaza]

Your pseudorandom is not in any set context. Therefore, this joker will roll for goldFred at EVERY available opportunity, including once for every card in your full deck.

Likely, the easiest solution will just be to include it in your existing end_of_round context.

[sand sandal]

Dunno usually I just look around at the hooks or at the lovely patches

[ripe jacinth]

also how do i get my deck to change ranks

[cursive gazelle]

There’s an example in the smods wiki for random ranks

[royal badger]

so I fixed it now, the pseudorandom only does it now when play gets pressed, and the chips didnt got granted because I forgot the chips =... before the card.ability.extra.chips

[cursive gazelle]

If that’s what you want

[wispy falcon]

He did a very big oopsie but it's fixed now

[ripe jacinth]

i wanted it to be Oops All Aces

    key = "oopsallaces",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    atlas = 'decks',
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Oops All Aces!",
        text = {
            "Every card in the deck is",
            "an Ace."
        }
    },
    config = {},
    apply = function(self, back)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                for _, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                    -- Only change the rank, keep the suit
                    if v.base.rank ~= 'Ace' then
                        v:change_rank('Ace')
                    end
                end
                return true
            end
        }))
    end
}```

here's how i coded it

it didnt work

where did it go wrong

all im getting is "attempt to call method 'change_rank' (a nil value)"

[cursive gazelle]

It’s change_base

Not rank

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/d43316d97bc927f3de431dd84c0283d41e69761a/Mods/DeckOf4s.lua#L11

[cursive gazelle]

Because it doesn’t exist

[ripe jacinth]

do i call "Ace" or A

if i want aces

[cursive gazelle]

Try Ace or 14

[vocal zealot]

How would I go about using g.localization to change the name of planets? Not the individual ones, the overarching type.

[ripe jacinth]

Ace worked.

[cursive gazelle]

Check the Undertale mod it changes name and sprite of spectrals

[red flower]

this changes the name of planets to characters https://github.com/xssgm/Touhou-Balatro-texture-pack/blob/afa169c31207443f2e14ccb94bbc96ca258055ad/localization/default.lua#L4

[cursive gazelle]

Did you had that on standby

[manic rune]

touhou texture pack mentioned

[red flower]

no it took me 2 minutes to find

[cursive gazelle]

That was pretty fast

[red flower]

well i already knew about it

[vocal zealot]

I’m not looking for just sprites and names, I’m looking for the actual type. So Astronomer would say “All ‘new name’ cards and Celestial Packs in the shop are free.”

[red flower]

yes

that changes the type, the descriptions of cards are hardcoded however

[cursive gazelle]

I can’t recompile balatro right?

[red flower]

yeah people do texture swaps all the time, i think it's just rezipping it

idk why you would need to tho

[vocal zealot]

Ok it might be what I’m looking for thanks

[cursive gazelle]

I think i spent a week trying to replace the background shader

[robust marsh]

I put my deck sprites in 1x and they work fine for me but my friend is trying the mod out and the game is trying to read 2x. Does anyone know why?

[red flower]

pixel smoothing option on

they need to either turn that off or you need to include the 2x texture which you should

[frosty rampart]

^ upscale your sprites to exactly 2x the resolution (WITHOUT ANY INTERPOLATION) and put it in the 2x folder with the same exact filename as the one in the 1x folder

[robust marsh]

alrighty, thank you !

[stiff locust]

i have 2 questions

[cursive gazelle]

Hey meta

And marie

[stiff locust]

I wanna blueprint stuff and I wanna retrigger jokers

i havent done those yet

[frosty rampart]

hi s :3

[cursive gazelle]

Well vanilla remade got your back

[stiff locust]

oh yeah on the blueprint stuff

[ripe jacinth]

how's my deck art?

[stiff locust]

it won't have joker retriggers though

[cursive gazelle]

Blueprint and brainstorm don’t copy the ability they just make the copied joker calculate twice

[frosty rampart]

^ blueprint and brainstorm will automatically run the whole calculate function of the joker they're copying, you have to explicitly add checks for not context.blueprint if there's code you don't want to be copied (e.g. the joker scaling)

[stiff locust]

well that tracks yeah

and ik about the not context.blueprint stuff

but also how do I retrigger jokers

[manic rune]

you use context.retrigger_joker_check

[cursive gazelle]

Context

[manic rune]

and return repetitions = num

[cursive gazelle]

Return repetition =

[cursive gazelle]

Plural

Lol

[stiff locust]

is this like context.indvidual where it goes through every joker

[manic rune]

p sure its context.other_card for checking each joker

[stiff locust]

if context.retrigger_joker_check then
and then
if context.other_card == condition then
return { repetitions = 1 }

am i getting that right

I also need to actually enable this as an smods option in my mod don't I

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

[stiff locust]

i had to enable deck calculate so i'd assume joker retrigger is also like that

[cursive gazelle]

Idk wdym but

[ripe jacinth]

guys how do i get a joker, that applies random editions to a card, to basically not apply one specific edition

(the edition is from a mod)

(not my mod)

[stiff locust]

poll_edition has an argument where you enter a table

the table should include keys of editions you want it to choose from

if you include a number with each edition key, you can set their weight, otherwise they use their base weights

[cursive gazelle]

Check for mod existing first

[languid canopy]

bump ^

[stiff locust]

oh god wait if i'm making a blueprint

[cursive gazelle]

How are you doing it exactly

[stiff locust]

I need to use dynatext

to do the compatible message

don't I

[cursive gazelle]

(Vanilla remade) ctrl+c ctrl +v

[stiff locust]

the problem is that this joker copies 2 jokers

so I either need two dynatexts or some other way to display it

[cursive gazelle]

I’m going to say something crazy

Tangents has one

[primal robin]

go ahead

[stiff locust]

I am aware that a blueprint that hits both adjacent jokers is not very creative

this joker is also going to retrigger those jokers
mostly because I want to see what happens if I do both

[cursive gazelle]

No I’m saying you can reference the code

[languid canopy]

like this 🎀

[cursive gazelle]

From nxkoo

[stiff locust]

just wanna say that before someone gets me

what's the double copy joker

[languid canopy]

wait is that even the good code

wait

[cursive gazelle]

Just search up blueprint

[red flower]

what are you trying to do here

[cursive gazelle]

Probably play a song when joker is obtained

[languid canopy]

yeah

[cursive gazelle]

Which you can do with just replace

[red flower]

you know you can just do this right

[cursive gazelle]

Replace=

Isnt there like a replace function?

[languid canopy]

i list the replaces like
replace= 'music1','music2' etc ?

there is

[cursive gazelle]

Try N’s method

[red flower]

just do

select_music_track = function()
        return next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) and math.huge or false
end,

also if it's music it has to have "music" in the key

[frosty rampart]

(as per SMODS.Sound documentation, select_music_track is expected to return a number, and the song that returned the highest number "wins" on that frame and gets to be played)

[stiff locust]

remember that if you do select music track

your song key must include music

or it will crash

[languid canopy]

wuh

[crystal perch]

trying to make a joker that copies the joker to its left, and debuffs the joker to its right
the code and the joker work but it lags the hell out of the game and prevents any actual gameplay from happening

[cursive gazelle]

The lion doesn’t stress himself with the code he just copies it

[languid canopy]

LMFAO

true

[red flower]

it's because it looks for music to set a value in the sound manager

[cursive gazelle]

Because you’re calculating every frame

[red flower]

no?

[red flower]

why are you returning this

[stiff locust]

how

[crystal perch]

it was written when i was very tired

[stiff locust]

searching up blueprint gives me every instance of blueprint_compat and not context.blueprint

[red flower]

untire yourself

[red flower]

-- blueprint

[languid canopy]

im going to cry

[stiff locust]

no results

i'm confused

[crystal perch]

okay it doesn't lag the game out but the game still isn't progressing

like you choose a blind and no cards get drawn

[red flower]

also there's a double copy example in the wiki

[stiff locust]

no one told me that

[cursive gazelle]

https://github.com/Clickseee/Tangents/blob/4bfe59ad80a90730f1f402e09c4501b5f26bdd58/stuff/wankers/TheLegend27/its9inches.lua#L268

[stiff locust]

also what

[crystal perch]

also use this https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[red flower]

well no one knows because nobody read my wiki

[stiff locust]

I search your wiki sometimes and half the time i find the answer and half the time i dont

[languid canopy]

i did (partially fake)

[cursive gazelle]

Your honor i haven’t modded in a week

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-copy-multiple-cards-at-once

[crystal perch]

update the game seems to run worse and worse as time passes

[stiff locust]

I absolutely despise all things UI code

[crystal perch]

not getting flooded with debugs but it's unplayable

[stiff locust]

but I still need to display if those jokers are compatible

that's my issue

[crystal perch]

just copy the code from blueprint

[red flower]

the nxkoo example has the ui for it

[cursive gazelle]

Marie it’s simple stop stressing out

[stiff locust]

i am a surgeon

trying to make a boss blind that make you lose 25 dollars when playing any hand lower than a full house but all it does i crash, any help ?

[cursive gazelle]

[stiff locust]

oh my buddha

you can put this all in 1 code block yk

[pale holly]

i tried too but i failed oops

[stiff locust]

put three of these symbols ` before and after your message

not one line at a time, the whole thing

type lua after the first set

and it will highlight in lua colors

the first set

not the second

[pale holly]

wait how ?

oh

[stiff locust]

right click this message and press copy text to see it

muuch better

[pale holly]

got it, thanks

[red flower]

whats the crash

blinds dont have ability

[pale holly]

i'm gonna screenshot the crash just gotta reboot my game

[red flower]

im pretty sure it's that anyway

you need to use self.config.extra.dollar

[crystal perch]

just press ctrl+c at the crash screen

[red flower]

yep

[red flower]

can you copy the code her

oh

[crystal perch]

i just knew

[red flower]

lmao

[manic rune]

unrelated but you can just have \ before each ` to show it lol

```
like this
```

[pale holly]

i realised i forgot to replace the 'card' by blind in the ability but since apparently blinds doesn't have abbilities i suppose it doesn't work

[stiff locust]

oh

neat

[manic rune]

uh

i fucked up somewhere but u get the idea

[stiff locust]

yeah

[pale holly]

Really just trying to do like the Ox but for a specific set of hands, and also with losing money, not a set one

[manic rune]

its also on here btw :3 nudge nudge

[red flower]

nice

[cursive gazelle]

This is more than mayhem

[frosty rampart]

we appear to have discovered yet another Number to make Go Up

[cursive gazelle]

What have you done lmao

[red flower]

idk what makes events here tho

[crystal perch]

maybe because it's constantly checking which jokers have been chosen?

[red flower]

that doesnt add an event

[stiff locust]

on my way to make a joker whose sole purpose is to recursively spawn 1,000,000 events which do nothing

[crystal perch]

🤷‍♀️

[cursive gazelle]

You might be onto something

[rotund sable]

set_debuff maybe?

[pale holly]

sooo how should i make the boss blind work then ?
-# bumping it

[red flower]

i dont see it

[crystal perch]

oh

[red flower]

do what i told you?

[pale holly]

Oh i already had the crash log

[pale holly]

Oops my bad, didn't saw it

self config for both dollars_mod and the dollars right ?

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

[red flower]

yes

[pale holly]

Alright thanks i'll try that out !

[royal badger]

how do I change the full deck skin? (replacing the standart skin)

[crystal perch]

i'm just gonna start commenting stuff out to see what makes a difference

[cursive gazelle]

You mean the king / queen / jack or the back of the deck

[red flower]

i think set_debuff is contantly calling this because youre constantly debuffing and undebuffing a card

[crystal perch]

commenting out debuff_joker:set_debuff(true) stops it from lagging

[royal badger]

the full front so like instead of hearts there is my design

[red flower]

oh i see

this is always true

or always false?

[crystal perch]

always something

[red flower]

either way you never set debuff_joker

[cursive gazelle]

You’ll need to make a deckskin
Like this https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/DeckSkinTemplate

[frosty rampart]

use SMODS.DeckSkin

[crystal perch]

yeah i set it here?

[red flower]

yeah after that loop

[crystal perch]

oh i see so it never ends

[red flower]

no it does end

[royal badger]

thanks :D

[red flower]

your logic for checking which cards are debuffed or not is wrong

[crystal perch]

so how would i fix that logic

[red flower]

idk that's 20 dollars

[crystal perch]

☹️

[cursive gazelle]

Your ai subscription ran out

LMFAO

[red flower]

i would start from the beginning on that one but keep in mind local variables don't stay between calculate calls

[stiff locust]

chat i broke the display code

i think i know what broke but also damn

this shit fragile

[cursive gazelle]

Can i see

[modern kindle]

ill give you 40 to finish my mod N AI

[red flower]

your mod is going to be finished

i will destroy it

[modern kindle]

finally, peace

[red flower]

anyway i should actually work instead of balatroing

[stiff locust]

i think it's just because of his localization

[modern kindle]

do not work, watch anime

[red flower]

i wish

[wispy falcon]

Okay, I'm gonna be honest. This is not my code but I just can't figure out why I get this error, please help TwT

[stiff locust]

this is at the bottom of his description

it's certainly trying to do things

i'm not allowed to show more

their colors seem to work properly

the light on the right will go green if the right joker can be blueprinted

but i'm pretty sure it is supposed to have text in it

[red flower]

judging from the effect thing this is joyousspring code

[wispy falcon]

Erm... Yes xD

-# I'm giving credits

[novel sundial]

Would anyone have a clue as to why my own mod isn't showing up in game despite being in the mod folder?

[red flower]

do you have a G.C.CSTORM.EFFECT

[slim ferry]

Do you have a metadata file

[red flower]

G.C.JOY.EFFECT is the color for effect monsters in my mod

[wispy falcon]

Oh... Oops

[novel sundial]

That wouldn't happen to be the main.json file I see in other mods, would it?

[slim ferry]

It would

You need to have a json file with mod metadata

[novel sundial]

That explains, thank you

The online resources just recursively say "check the discord"

[slim ferry]

Theres a page for how to set one up on the smods wiki

[stiff locust]

the loc vars code alone would be okay to show but it's too big to fit in a message which sucks

[red flower]

have you seen this https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#4-basic-mod

[novel sundial]

I have

[wispy falcon]

Now that I changed it, it works so yeah (I'm stupid once again xD)

[red flower]

where does it send you to the discord

[novel sundial]

The link above it (and pretty much every page in the "wiki")

[stiff locust]

message.txt
something is wrong with it and it's not displaying any words

[red flower]

link above what

[frosty rampart]

click on the specific link N just sent you, it directs you to a specific part of the wiki

[novel sundial]

Oh that's convenient, I didn't find wherever that was tucked away in Vanilla Remade

[red flower]

It's hard to actually improve the ""wiki"" if we're not told what the problems are

[frosty rampart]

it's on (drumroll please) the wiki in VRemade
which is linked both in the "wiki" tab along the top bar and in the README.md on the front of the main page of the repo

[novel sundial]

It'd be nice if this (https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod) page had a link to that guide because it doesn't really show up in search results

Like, directly at the top

[red flower]

i dont really want smods to endorse my guide tbh

[stiff locust]

-# bump

[red flower]

idk if config.center.name is a thing

or a default thing at least i know some people add name

[stiff locust]

probably not a default thing and that's annoying

[red flower]

why, you shouldnt use that anyway because its not localized

[rapid stag]

is it G.P_CENTERS.e_holo or G.P_CENTERS.e_holographic

[red flower]

holo

[red flower]

localize{ type = "name_text", set = "Joker", key = key} is what you want

[stiff locust]

links to gifs specifically are blocked because some people think i'm just gonna post gifs from my computer directly like I have them all saved

graagh i hate this place

            end
            return ret
        end
    end

update on my part: it works now and doesn't lag the game out but it only updates the debuff when another event triggers (like selecting a card)
this is honestly a tradeoff i'm willing to take though i'd ideally want it to always happen

[red flower]

yeah that makes sense because context doesnt run every frame

[stiff locust]

replacing this with that makes vscode shout at me

[red flower]

may i see

[stiff locust]

i don't know how this code works

[red flower]

oh thats fine

localize can return multiple things but name_text is always a string

[stiff locust]

wait how am I supposed to give it the name

[red flower]

also key should be right_joker.config.center_key

and you dont need string.sub for this

[stiff locust]

nothing is showing up still

i don't understand any of this

why do they even get the joker names

if they're never used

why does the node have text when the text is going to be Compatible or Incompatible anyway

i didn't change any part of this code and it's just not working for me when it apparently worked for the other guy but what if it was never designed to display text

but why would they have it use internal text values if they'd never be used

[red flower]

idk it's nxkoo

[stiff locust]

they do this shit for money

their code surely isn't broken

i just don't get what it's doing differently for me

[red flower]

these should be T instead of R

[stiff locust]

all of them?

[wispy falcon]

How do I make it, so that a Joker doesn't get shown in 'Your Collection' and 'Additions'?

[stiff locust]

hidden = true

[red flower]

the two that have text in them

[stiff locust]

right

[crystal perch]

how do i check if a card has a specific seal?

[stiff locust]

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

[red flower]

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

:3

[crystal perch]

thanks yous

[wispy falcon]

Still there

[stiff locust]

do it again

[red flower]

no_collection = true

[stiff locust]

oh

i have got to do that to jevil

anyway it works now but they truncated the damn

where did my message go

what

i attached a cool picture to it

oh right

bruh

[wispy falcon]

Works, thank you

[stiff locust]

he keeps showing up

while i am testing

I can't say anything here anymore

the text appear now but the string_sub confuses me

i know what it does but why do it like that

even ste looks awful

[red flower]

idk it's nxkoo lol

theres a reason i dont play tangents :3

[stiff locust]

it works fine on longer names anyway

thank you Suspiciously Anvil-Shaped Green Joker

man where did my cartoon anvil go

now i gotta do another thing

is there a way I can find which achievements the player has unlocked

[royal badger]

I still dont know what Im doing wrong.. I did it like the site (https://www.love2d.org/wiki/love.graphics.draw) said and the game still crashes ( I first tried it with a Video because I want to play a video but I thought I try it with a Pic first but both dont work)

                    Freddy = love.graphics.newImage("frame20.png")
                end
                function love.draw()
                    love.graphics.draw(Freddy, 0, 0)
                end```

[wispy falcon]

How would I check what type of card the player bought in the shop?

[stiff locust]

card.ability.set == "Joker" / "Tarot" / "Planet" / "Spectral"

if card.ability.set is nil, I think that means it's a playing card(?)

[wispy falcon]

And what context would be good? Because there is none for during the shop iirc

[stiff locust]

context.buying_card

during that context, context.card is the bought card

[wispy falcon]

Would I use card.ability.set == "Joker" / "Tarot" / "Planet" / "Spectral" in context.card or in context.buying_card?

[stiff locust]

if context.buying_card then
  if context.card.ability.set == "Joker" then
    ---do stuff
  end
end

[wispy falcon]

Okay, thank you :3

[novel sundial]

Anyone have an idea why my jokers are low res? Each card is 71x95 and defined as such in the atlas

[stiff locust]

enable pixel art smoothing and the game will use the 2x versions of your sprites

(you did make 2x upscaled versions right)

[novel sundial]

yeah! and it is on...

That's weird, maybe something is fucked up with the 2x version then?

[royal badger]

bump

[novel sundial]

Something is fucked with the 2x version.

Photoshop FUCKED me that's what

[stiff locust]

aseprite makes it easy

big recommend

[slim ferry]

A lot of editing software just always apply aa for no reason

[frosty rampart]

you need to make sure the interpolation is none when you do the upscaling

or just use aseprite/libresprite

[novel sundial]

Yeah I'm just not gonna worry about it rn, just wanted to make sure I was doing it right

[rotund sable]

please don't override love functions

[novel sundial]

You might be able to tell but these are temp assets :P

[rotund sable]

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

[quick scarab]

I want to basically make so 7s count as wild card, is it possible?

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "toy_bonnie",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 5,
    atlas = 'Joker',
    pos = { x = 3, y = 5 },
}

local Wild_7 = playing_card:get_id() == 7
function Card:is_suit(suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
    local ret = Wild_7(self, id, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
    if ret and next(SMODS.find_card("j_fnaf_toy_bonnie")) then
        return SMODS.smeared_check(self, suit)
    end
    return ret
end

I remembered that a mod did something kinda similar

[frosty rampart]

you're kinda close, but you don't have the hook quite right
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-hook

[crystal perch]

i have a seal which is applied to jokers and i would like its xmult effect to happen after the joker's effect
usually i'd do this with context.post_joker but i believe that's only for editions

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            local sealed_jokers = 0
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i]:get_seal() ~= nil then
                    sealed_jokers = sealed_jokers + 1
                end
            end
            return { xmult = (card.ability.seal.extra.Xmult_gain * sealed_jokers) + card.ability.seal.extra.Xmult_base }
        end
    end

btw this gains xmult for each joker with a seal

currently with context.joker_main the xmult happens before the joker's score, which means it multiplies before adding base mult

[vernal path]

does context.post_joker not work?

[crystal perch]

no that's exclusively for editions

and i tried it and it didnt work

[wintry solar]

It should work, I don’t recall is being locked to editions

[wispy falcon]

Where can I find all the default messages for message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')?

[crystal perch]

the game's localization files in en-us.lua

[manic rune]

balatro's localization file, yeah

[crystal perch]

yeah i just tried again and it did not work

[vernal path]

Might be worthwhile using context.other_joker? Like baseball card, but for joker seals

[wintry solar]

Can you show the code?

[crystal perch]

well i don't want it to work like baseball card i'd like it to use the other jokers to influence it's xmult gain but not its scoring

SMODS.Seal{
    key = 'green_seal',
    atlas = 'JokerSeals',
    pos = { x = 2, y = 0 },
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Green Joker Seal', --name of card
        label = 'Green Joker Seal',
        text = { --text of card
            '{X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult for each',
            '{C:attention}Joker Seal',
            '{C:inactive}(Currently{} {X:mult,C:white}X#2#{}{C:inactive})'
        }
    },
    config = { extra = { Xmult_gain = 0.15, Xmult_base = 1 } },
    badge_colour = G.C.GREEN,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.post_joker then
            local sealed_jokers = 0
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i]:get_seal() ~= nil then
                    sealed_jokers = sealed_jokers + 1
                end
            end
            return { xmult = (card.ability.seal.extra.Xmult_gain * sealed_jokers) + card.ability.seal.extra.Xmult_base }
        end
    end,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local sealed_jokers = 0
        local Xmult_current = 0
        if G.jokers ~= nil then
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i]:get_seal() ~= nil then
                    sealed_jokers = sealed_jokers + 1
                end
            end
        else
            sealed_jokers = 1
        end
        Xmult_current = (card.ability.seal.extra.Xmult_gain * sealed_jokers) + card.ability.seal.extra.Xmult_base
        return { vars = { self.config.extra.Xmult_gain, Xmult_current } }
    end
}

this is the full code

[wintry solar]

Oh it is unique

Huh

Then there’s no supported way to do what you’re trying to do

[crystal perch]

context.post_joker is defined in the base game right

[wintry solar]

No

[vernal path]

You could do a lovely patch somewhere around local eval = eval_card(_card, {cardarea = G.jokers, full_hand = G.play.cards, scoring_hand = scoring_hand, scoring_name = text, poker_hands = poker_hands, edition = true, post_joker = true}) in functions/state_events.lua

[crystal perch]

yeah i was thinking to do that

[vernal path]

Could also put in a pull request to smods and get the context updated to be more universal

[crystal perch]

i've just never had to code a new context so i'm reading over the smods code to figure out how

or edited an existing one

[vernal path]

You can check how Extra Credit did it with initial_scoring_step before it was implemented

[wintry solar]

You can also use post trigger I guess

[crystal perch]

also tried post_trigger and it didn't work

[vernal path]

I'm not sure I've seen other context additions

[vernal path]

isn't post trigger a feature you have to enable?

[crystal perch]

yeah i have

[crystal perch]

i have extra credit so i'll pop the hood and look at what they did for this

[vernal path]

Well, i think they updated to use smods 711a, but they might still be using their code for it.

[crystal perch]

i have an old extra cred version thankfully

It was from Clown Car, i think was the name

+44(?) mult, -3 dollars before cards score

end

[vernal path]

I love context.before_but_not_as_much

[wintry solar]

That’s a bad way of doing it

Just look at how smods does it

[vernal path]

i mean, this is how smods does post joker, this is the only reference in state events ```lua
-- calculate edition multipliers
local eval = eval_card(_card, {cardarea = G.jokers, full_hand = G.play.cards, scoring_hand = scoring_hand, scoring_name = text, poker_hands = poker_hands, edition = true, post_joker = true})
if eval.edition then effects[#effects+1] = eval end

[crystal perch]

yeah i'm looking at that now

[wintry solar]

I mean if you’re trying to patch that directly just remove the edition clause

[vernal path]

wouldn't that mess with other things?

[crystal perch]

so change if eval.edition then effects[#effects+1] = eval end to effects[#effects+1] = eval or somethin

or just remove that line entirely

i'll try it couldn't hurt

[wintry solar]

I don’t think so

Just if next(eval) then …

[frosty rampart]

yea you do need to add something to the effects table

[timid zinc]

does anyone know why my denominator is getting reduced to 1?

[vernal path]

arghhh my eyes

flashbang

[timid zinc]

Okay, here's the second image as dark

[vernal path]

by the gods are you using np++ lmao?
Also, can I see the localization?

I have a feeling you might have two #1#s

[crystal perch]

awesome it works

[[patches]] #   CHAK
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/state_events.lua"
pattern = '''
    if eval.edition then effects[#effects+1] = eval end'''
match_indent = true

    if next(eval) then effects[#effects+1] = eval end'''

[vernal path]

nice!

[timid zinc]

yes i am
and also yeah that's the issue, i originally wanted to keep the probabilities the same no matter what so i made it 1 in #1# for some reason i might be stupid

[crystal perch]

now i gotta see if this broke anything else 💀

[vernal path]

yeah, that's my worry, lol

[crystal perch]

well polychrome works and i'm pretty sure that's the only thing base game which uses it so we're gucci

[wispy falcon]

How do I show a variable in a message? Because message = card.ability.extra.tarotsBought doesn't seem to work

[red flower]

message = tostring(card.ability.extra.tarotsBought)

[vernal path]

although really you should be localizing it :3c

[red flower]

a number?

[wispy falcon]

Yeah, just remembered that

[modern kindle]

what is it in your language

[manic rune]

một

[red flower]

bepis

[modern kindle]

how do you say that

[red flower]

bepis is number 1

[manic rune]

aw

[manic rune]

uhhhhh

[modern kindle]

i have multiple #1s

[manic rune]

idk how to even describe it lmao

[modern kindle]

i have bepis and n and eremel and smt and toma and meth and

[red flower]

cant believe winter is not number 1

[modern kindle]

the list goes on to infinity

[manic rune]

i see...

[versed swan]

Smooth as hell lmao

[manic rune]

im flattered

[red flower]

are we entering the metatable meta

[modern kindle]

because N has questioned me im buying him 2 games in 9 days

[red flower]

nooooo

[manic rune]

wait u learnt metatables already??

[red flower]

no this is from smods

[manic rune]

o

thought thats ur patch lmao

[modern kindle]

you shouldve just said yes and blew bepis' mind

[red flower]

i kinda understand what they do but idk where i would use them

[manic rune]

this is the card limit thingy for editions, stickers pr right

[red flower]

yeah

[manic rune]

mm

i will study metatable and come back to give opinions on that

:p

[wintry solar]

I think in the right situations they're insane tech

[manic rune]

and using metatables make u look really cool too imo

very closely followed behind by lua patterns :p

anyways i think i kinda understand now, it uh redefines the behaviours of a table basically if im understanding it correctly

so i can have t1 + t2 doing different things

oh hey

[red flower]

yeah it's like operator overloading and setters but written in a weird way

[quick scarab]

local card_id = playing_card:get_id() == 7
function Card:is_suit(suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
    local ret = card_id(self, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
    if ret and next(SMODS.find_card("j_fnaf_toy_bonnie")) then
        return  any_suit == true
    end
    return ret
end```

still no luck

[manic rune]

thats not how you hook lol

[frosty rampart]

yea you still aren't hooking properly

[manic rune]

local is_suit_ref = Card.is_suit
function Card.is_suit(...)
   local ret = is_suit_ref(...)
   if next(SMODS.find_card("j_fnaf_toy_bonnie")) then
      return true
   end
   return ret
end

[quick scarab]

OH so i was doing the opposite

[quick scarab]

the (...) is where the card id goes, isn't?

[manic rune]

no

wat r u trying to do

[quick scarab]

7s work like wild cards

[manic rune]

ic

local is_suit_ref = Card.is_suit
function Card:is_suit(...)
   local ret = is_suit_ref(self,...)
   if self:get_id() == 7 and next(SMODS.find_card("j_fnaf_toy_bonnie")) then
      return true
   end
   return ret
end

[wispy falcon]

Why does {C:attention, s:0.8s} only change the size and not the color?

[wintry solar]

remove the space

and the s at the end

[wispy falcon]

The s was a typo OwO

[robust marsh]

I'm making a deck that increases shop prices. However whenever I reroll in the shop and go to the menu then load back into the run said cards (whether it is jokers, tarots or planets) will go back to their original values. Is there a way to make them persist?

[hushed field]

How are you manipulating their price?

[robust marsh]

I'm using card_cost and reapplying it exclusively to jokers, tarots and planets whenever a reroll is triggered because otherwise the rerolled cards would have their normal price

I imagine the second part is also why they are the only ones having their price set back to normal

[hushed field]

Just hook set_cost, if you wanna limit it to specific card types

[red cradle]

Before playing first hand, each non-face card gives dollars equals to half its rank. Why its not working
if context.disard and not context.blueprint then
if G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 and G.GAME.current_round.discards_used == 0 then
if not context.other_card:is_face() then
return {
dollars = context.other_card:get_id() / 2,
card = context.other_card
}
end
end
end

[robust marsh]

that makes a lot more sense actually, and it seems to be working so I just have to patch out a few more things. Thank you :)

[royal badger]

would this work to play a video?

[red flower]

what the hell is SMODS.Hook

[royal badger]

I was just trying to understand hooking with a video playing then

[red flower]

hooking is not an smods feature, it's a lua feature
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-hook

[royal badger]

I read that and I havent really understood it much🥲

[red flower]

what part is troubling you?

[royal badger]

Just the hooking itself so idrk what its exactly doing everybody just said I need the love video feature in a hook

its just kinda hard to understand when I started modding like 3-4 days ago

I think If I had an example code that I can test in game I would maybe read out of it what it does or how it works

[red flower]

I would try to copy another mod that has done it instead, not to be rude but I don't think you have the knowledge to attempt it yourself yet

I think Yahimod and Tangents do it

[red flower]

this is the example code

[royal badger]

if I copy that code and try it is it working in game?

[red flower]

yes

[tender ermine]

How do I check for a certain tarot key when in context.using_consumeable?

[royal badger]

okay I will try my best to understand it and thank u

[red flower]

i would recommend adding a print(G.GAME.vremade_joker_added_counter) after the addition to be able to see it

[red flower]

context.consumeable.config.center_key

[tender ermine]

Thanks

[clear ocean]

looked at the vanillaremade wiki and saw you make it a set but not sure if i set it up right

[timid night]

Yooo, is there a way for me to give myself a card at the start of the game? maybe with a deck or something? Ive made a custom joker but I actually need to test it

[knotty orchid]

you can spawn jokers with debug plus

[red flower]

dont use a set in the title screen

or at least not the joker set

also cryptid does this hook wrong

it should be like that

[royal badger]

I dont need that in a calculate = right? so just in the file

[red flower]

correct

[clear ocean]

so if i want to do a randomised joker i have to make like a string array or something

[quick scarab]

Speaking of Hooks, one if them that I was using broke everything

[quick scarab]

This one

I can't select or play any card now

[clear ocean]

it looks like the only two kinds of jokers will need to have some sort of soul pos scaling too

[red flower]

yeah or patch this

[clear ocean]

newcard.T.w = newcard.T.w * 1.1 * 1.2
newcard.T.h = newcard.T.h * 1.1 * 1.2

is the T or the w/h to grab the soul pos

[red flower]

neither

newcard.children.floating_sprite

[clear ocean]

and the suffix will be .T.w or .w?

[red flower]

T is the transform, w is width

[timid night]

Ive downloaded debug plus, but I cannot find a command to give myself a joker, do I just have to refresh the shop until I get one?

[red flower]

3 on the collection

[clear ocean]

will i have to check if it's hologram or the legendaries before making the floating sprite transform to avoid a crash?

[red flower]

press tab to see the shortcuts

[stiff locust]

Oh my god

Somebody make the hologram sprite bounce like the DVD logo

right now

[red flower]

dunno, you probably need to check if it has a floating_sprite

[clear ocean]

is there some way to do that for lua like check if it has that kind of children something like floating_sprite isn't nil?

[red flower]

if newcard.children.floating_sprite then

[clear ocean]

thanks 👍 ill add that when i get back from therapy since it's in about fifteen minutes

[long sun]

i know you can't see the whole line of code, but why is this displaying red not active, instead of green active, whenever i'm able to use it?

i'm certain that the function is returning the correct value

is the main_end not being kept up-to-date?

[red flower]

main_end is remade every time you hover it

[long sun]

i don't get it then -3-"

[red flower]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[long sun]

beat me to it ^^;

all the other usernames were in the way

[polar tulip]

Preside @red flower

Praise *

[red flower]

i dont see anything wrong honestly

[long sun]

i'm so confused 😭

[crystal perch]

W catan

[stiff locust]

chat how do I get profile stats

as values in the code

[wintry solar]

what does running eval is_boss_active() give you

[long sun]

true

you can see that the card may be used, so it must be returning the correct value there too

[wintry solar]

oh

[ocean sinew]

how to do something whenever a joker gets destroyed

[crystal perch]

how do i check if the triggered context returned chips, mult, or xmult via post_trigger

[slim ferry]

other_ret should be a copy of the return table

[short girder]

required code context

[crystal perch]

do i call it with like context.other_ret?

[slim ferry]

Yeah im pretty sure

[red flower]

@crystal perch

[crystal perch]

oh you need to call other_context in tandem with other_ret

[red flower]

no i do it there because i check for it to affect specific suits

[crystal perch]

i'll just send the code

local return_whitelist = {
    chips = true,
    mult = true,
    xmult = true
}

SMODS.Joker{ -- +Mult per other Joker triggered
    key = 'copy_cat', --joker key
    loc_txt = { -- local text
        name = 'Copy Cat',
        text = {
          '{C:mult}+4{} Mult per other {C:attention}Joker{}',
          'ability scored'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers', --atlas' key
    pos = {x = 1, y = 1},
    rarity = 1, --rarity: 1 = Common, 2 = Uncommon, 3 = Rare, 4 = Legendary
    --soul_pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    cost = 5, --cost
    unlocked = true, --where it is unlocked or not: if true, 
    discovered = true, --whether or not it starts discovered
    blueprint_compat = true, --can it be blueprinted/brainstormed/other
    eternal_compat = true, --can it be eternal
    perishable_compat = true, --can it be perishable
    config = { 
        extra = {
            mult = 4 --configurable value
        }
    },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.post_trigger and not context.blueprint then
            for i, _ in pairs(return_whitelist) do
                if context.other_ret[i] then
                    return {
                        card = card,
                        mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
                        message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.mult .. ' Mult',
                        colour = G.C.MULT
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end
}

[red flower]

this is the effect

[crystal perch]

similar to mine but i just want it to be if another joker scores at all it gives +4 mult

[red flower]

then just ignore the other_context stuff

the main idea is the calc_keys part

[crystal perch]

i'll try that out thank you

[stiff locust]

anyone know how i can get profile completion percentages

like how much you've discovered/got sticker on/unlocked

i figured it out

[dapper sun]

how do i do something at the start of every hand?

what context do i use

[sturdy compass]

Probably context.before?

[frosty rampart]

context.initial_scoring_step if you want it to count in score, context.before otherwise
(context.before comes before the score is re-set to the base poker hand's value, so that e.g. space joker can level up the hand and have it count for scoring in that same hand)

[dapper sun]

ty

[stiff locust]

is there a context.before that comes after the score is re-set to base hand value

[frosty rampart]

yes, context.initial_scoring_step

[stiff locust]

ok

holy water is so back

obligatory tsunami plug

[timid night]

Hey is there a reason why this isnt working?

remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        -- Tests if context.joker_main == true.
        -- joker_main is a SMODS specific thing, and is where the effects of jokers that just give +stuff in the joker area area triggered, like Joker giving +Mult, Cavendish giving XMult, and Bull giving +Chips.
        print("joker removed from deck")
        if from_debuff == true then
            return
        end

        print("not debuffed")
        return {
            mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
            message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
        }
    end

"joker removed from deck" and "not debuffed" print, but no mult is added or message appears, ive tried without using return also.

this is in a joker

(also you might be able to tell, but I dont have any lua experience)

[wintry solar]

return values are only for calculate functions

[timid night]

Ive tried without using return, but it doesnt do anything either

[wintry solar]

you can't do that in remove_from_deck

[mystic river]

remove from deck happens when the card is removed
is this an effect you want to have happen when the card is removed?

[dapper sun]

have you tried using SMODS.calculate_effect instead of a return

[timid night]

Basically, my card stores mult each round, and when it is sold, it is supposed to add the mult to the scoring, ive tried using context.selling_card but it didnt work either

[timid night]

no?

how do I use that?

[wintry solar]

that's not going to work

you can't apply mult outside of the scoring steps

[dapper sun]

SMODS.calculate_effect({message struct}, card)

[timid night]

Ah alright, do you think there is a workaround or is this card just fundamentally not going to work>

[wintry solar]

in a couple of days, there'd be a workaround

it wouldn't be clean, but it would function as you like

[timid night]

how do you mean?

[wintry solar]

there are new features coming to smods that would make this possible in a jank way

[unkempt thicket]

How can i make this not trigger the repetition warning? if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.end_of_round then if context.other_card.edition ~= nil then local text,disp_text,poker_hands,scoring_hand= G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.play.cards) SMODS.score_card(context.other_card, {cardarea = G.play, full_hand = G.play.cards, scoring_hand = scoring_hand, scoring_name = text, poker_hands = poker_hands, post_joker = true, edition = true, pre_joker = true}) end end

[stiff locust]

is there a way I can see if the current profile used the unlock all button

wait i think i found it

is it profile.progress.all_unlocked or profile.all_unlocked

it's the second one

[hallow slate]

How would I get the cards scored in the winning hand of a blind?

[faint yacht]

context.after, context.full_hand or context.scoring_hand and G.GAME.chips > G.GAME.blind.chips?

[hallow slate]

Could I animate the card turning into another card before it returns to deck?

[faint yacht]

I have this Joker that applies enhancements to cards before they're drawn off, so yes.

[hallow slate]

Oh sweet! Thanks Ali!

[clear ocean]

going to probably have to like scale it

but it seems to work

okay i don't think it is working or something

[red flower]

i think you need to mess with the shader then

[clear ocean]

If I’ll be honest that seems to be too much for me so I’ll just not include the legendaries and holograph sorry balalas

[stiff locust]

what are you trying to do

[clear ocean]

Right now the soul pos cards like hologram, soul, and the legendaries aren’t scaled correctly for the main menu

Tried scaling by the floating sprite but it doesn’t seem to work

[stiff locust]

could you not use SMODS.drawstep to redraw their soul_pos sprites manually at the right scale and offset

if it can animate a soul_pos surely it can do that

[wispy falcon]

What context would be good to use for destroying a consumable after the hand scored? And how do I prevent all consumables of the same type to be destroyed when I want to destroy only the one that has been used?

[hushed field]

What's the specific effect you wanna implement?

[wind steppe]

context.after

what do i access to get the current ante

also does context.end_of_round evaluate before or after the ante increase

[wispy falcon]

When I use context.after, then they get destroyed too early

[wind steppe]

wdym

[wintry solar]

how are you destroying them?

[wispy falcon]

I'm trying to make it so that my consumable stays in the slot when used, then give the chips when the hand is scored and then destroy itself

[wind steppe]

check theautumncircus's fire potion code

[wispy falcon]

With card.getting_sliced = true card:start_dissolve({ HEX("f252a8") }, nil, 1.6)

[hushed field]

Or confections in Kino, which function almost exactly like that

[wintry solar]

don't do that

[red flower]

try SMODS.destroy_cards(card)

[runic pecan]

Has anyone done a blueprint enhancement yet?

[wispy falcon]

What's the difference?

[red flower]

that uses an event and also handles other things

see more: https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#why-does-the-animation-play-before-scoring-when-the-context-i-put-it-in-occurs-later

[faint yacht]

-# The juice up of swap = true in return also occurs before the card scoring animations kick in, lmao.

[wispy falcon]

That literally fixed every problem I mentioned before, thank you :D

[wintry solar]

huh

[faint yacht]

return {
    swap = true,
    message = localize('toga_pagefileuse'),
    colour = G.C.PURPLE,
    sound = not silent and togabalatro.config.SFXWhenTriggered and "toga_mmeclap",
    pitch = not silent and togabalatro.config.SFXWhenTriggered and togabalatro.randompitch(),
    message_card = context.other_card
}

Or... like usual, I may be missin' something.

[wintry solar]

no it was broken

thanks

[faint yacht]

👍

all of a sudden the localized text for my joker quit loading
Fixed!!!

[clear ocean]

idk this is new terrority

@stiff locust something like this?

[stiff locust]

I don't get how the code exactly works but yeah something like that

[clear ocean]

is there a way to like a key for the floating sprite?

[wispy falcon]

Okay, how do I change the background/text color of my badge (on the card info) and button (in the collection) of my consumable type?

[clear ocean]

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

[wispy falcon]

But I mean on my consumable type, not my mod. Just like I said

[frosty rampart]

the consumabletype documentation is buried in the SMODS.ObjectType page
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType

[clear ocean]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-create-a-poolset maybe look at this

[clear ocean]

this one

[clear ocean]

this is probably nh has some knowledge in which i can wait for

[red flower]

i dont

[clear ocean]

thats okay

[wispy falcon]

It says primary_colour and secondary_colour but they don't change the color...

[clear ocean]

is there a way to have the joker i added to be behind the ace

[frosty rampart]

secondary_colour is the only one that actually does anything significant, and it's the badge background color
primary_colour is assigned to some G.C color definition but i don't think it's used anywhere else? secondary_colour gets an entry in G.C too and everywhere else just uses that one
if you're on the latest commit of smods, there's also a text_colour parameter that i PR'd :3

[clear ocean]

maybe have the ace actually be a random rank and suit too, maybe...

[wispy falcon]

Why is it called secondary, when it does the primary thing TwT

[frosty rampart]

dunno lmao
i tried to address that by outright replacing primary_colour with text_colour in my initial PR (and secondary_colour got moved to bg_colour), but for very understandable backwards compatibility reasons it doesn't do that anymore

[wispy falcon]

Anyways, it works now. Thank you so much >W<

[rapid stag]

what context do i check if i want to do something when another joker is destroyed?
do i just do context.remove_playing_cards with cardarea == G.jokers?

[clear ocean]

i figured what i could do is remove the ace and spawn in another card and have the first one a playing card

there's emplace but not sure if there's one to remove a card from G.title_top

[unique steeple]

does anyone know why my Balatro is crashing when i play cards and try to score i keep getting this error
