Add force_stickers = true

[pastel kernel]

In add card table?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[pastel kernel]

What do you do to make a poker hand level up when played?

[daring fern]

if context.before then
    return {level_up = true}
end

[pastel kernel]

How about multiplying played poker hand’s level

[pastel kernel]

How about multiplying played poker hand’s level

[daring fern]

if context.before then
    return {level_up = G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].level*(number-1)}
end

[pastel kernel]

Number can be replaced with Config key?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[pastel kernel]

i've been meaning to simplify this joker's level up code, but idk how

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and next(context.poker_hands["Flush"]) and not context.blueprint then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.4,
                func = function()
                    play_sound('busterb_makudonarudo')
                    card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                    update_hand_text({ sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.9, delay = 0 },
                        { level = 'x' .. to_big(card.ability.extra.multiplier) })
                    for poker_hand_key, hand in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
                        local current_level = hand.level or 1
                        local levels_to_add = math.max(0, math.floor(current_level * (to_big(card.ability.extra.multiplier) - 1)))
                        if levels_to_add > to_big(0) then
                            level_up_hand(card, poker_hand_key, true, levels_to_add)
                        end
                    end
                    update_hand_text({ sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0 },
                        { mult = 0, chips = 0, handname = '', level = '' })
                    return true

(Levels up all poker hands by x2)

[robust marsh]

Is there a way to increase the interest earned to 2 per 5 bucks instead of 1 per 5? Need this for a deck

[pastel kernel]

@daring fern have you got a simpler way to level up all poker hands by x2?

[daring fern]

if context.before and next(context.poker_hands["Flush"]) and not context.blueprint then
    return {func = function()
        for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
            SMODS.smart_level_up_hand(card, k, false, v.level)
        end
    end}
end

[red flower]

look at to the moon

[robust marsh]

wait

OHH

I thought to the moon was separate from regular interest

mb

thank you

alright it's G.GAME.interest_amount

[pastel kernel]

if randomeffect == 6 then
                print("Effect 6")
                if context.final_scoring_step then
                return {
                    echips = math.min(card.ability.extra.echipsemult, card.ability.immutable.echipemultincreaseprevention),
                    emult = math.min(card.ability.extra.echipsemult, card.ability.immutable.echipemultincreaseprevention),

                }
                end
            end

does not print success

[pastel kernel]

"level" in v.level is a custom value?

[daring fern]

No, level is the level of the poker hand.

[pastel kernel]

How do you multiply it by Config value?

[daring fern]

v.level*number

[pastel kernel]

Ah

[long sun]

how can i get the amount of chips that a playing card will give?

eg. a regular 9 would give 9 chips, a bonus 3 would give 33, a hiked 5 may give 10, a stone card will give 50

[red flower]

card:get_chip_bonus() iirc

[long sun]

does that include the chips it gives normally?

[red flower]

i think so

[long sun]

ah gotcha ^u^ thanks!

[cursive gazelle]

I think yes

Is there a pool for tags ?

[red flower]

G.P_TAGS

[long sun]

okay one more question

suppose i have two of the same joker, and i sell one of them

and it has a remove_from_deck

in that function, does it still consider itself to be a card?

like, would SMODS.find_card count it?

[red flower]

yes

[long sun]

grand ^^ thanks

[real night]

how do i check if the nominal ranks of all scored cards in played hand adds up to 21

[long sun]

sum their .base.nominals iirc

[real night]

how would i do that

[long sun]

your_card.base.nominal gives a card's base chips

so 2 for 2s, 10 for face cards, 11 for aces

at least, iirc ^^ correct me if i'm wrong

[rotund sable]

Me when aces could count as 1

[rotund sable]

Sounds correct

[long sun]

mm, this isn't correctly handling cards added by Standard Packs

OH wait no hold on

Enhanced too

[red flower]

default is for base playing cards

[languid canopy]

is there a way to make so a certain rank equals itself AND another one at the same time ? (ping me)
ex: modified ace that also counts as a two will trigger both wee joker and scholar

[red flower]

is there? yes. is it easy? no

[red flower]

wait until this gets merged https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/838

[languid canopy]

ow shucks

thanks

[willow scroll]

quantum ranks are in the works??? siiick

[hidden notch]

Can you slow down the rate at which a Card gets removed by

if context.discard then
  return {
    message = 'removed',
    colour = G.C.RED
    remove = true -- This is too fast!
  }
end
```?

[quick scarab]

modified a bit, but it still crashes the games

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "helpy",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 5,
    atlas = 'Joker',
    pos = { x = 9, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { broke = 40 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = "fnaf_sprite_WIP", set = "Other" }
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = "fnaf_code_WIP", set = "Other" }
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.broke } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if G.GAME.dollars < 0 and context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss then
            G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER
            G.STATE_COMPLETE = false
        end
    end,
    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.GAME.bankrupt_at = G.GAME.bankrupt_at - card.ability.extra.broke
    end,
    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.GAME.bankrupt_at = G.GAME.bankrupt_at + card.ability.extra.broke
    end
}

[pastel kernel]

does not print "success"

if randomeffect == 3 then
                print("Effect 3")
                if context.cardarea == G.play and context.retrigger_check then
                    return {

                    }
                end

[quick scarab]

where do you want to print?

[pastel kernel]

oh no it just does not trigger repetition

[quick scarab]

oh ok

[red flower]

wdym

[daring fern]

Yes, context.retrigger_check doesn't exist.

[pastel kernel]

oh

context.repetition?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[red flower]

whats the crash

[pastel kernel]

ok, but what about effect 2?

if randomeffect == 2 then
                print("Effect 2")
                if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card == G.jokers[1] or context.other_card == G.jokers[#G.jokers] then

                    repetitions = math.min(card.ability.extra.leftmostrightmostjokers, card.ability.immutable.totalretriggerlimit),
                    message = localize("k_again_ex"),
                    print("Success")
                    }
                end
            end

[pastel kernel]

also doesn't work

[daring fern]

It's G.jokers.cards

[red flower]

thats talisman

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#why-do-i-get-attempt-to-compare-number-with-table-when-talisman-is-installed

[willow scroll]

to_big(x) yourself, now ⛈️

[pastel kernel]

like this?```lua
if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card == G.jokers.cards[1] or context.other_card == G.jokers.cards[#G.jokers] then

[daring fern]

No, it's G.jokers.cards[#G.jokers.cards]

[quick scarab]

ok so I might have to rework a bit of the code for talisman support them

[hidden notch]

I want my Card to say "Target", then wait half a second before my Joker destroys the card.
Full code as Example:

-- I removed other Conditions for Simplicity
if context.discard and not (context.blueprint) then
  G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    trigger = 'after',
    func = function()
      attention_text({
        text = 'Target',
        scale = 0.8,
        hold = 1.0,
        major = context.other_card,
        colour = G.C.RED,
        align = 'cm',
        offset = { x = 0, y = 0 },
        silent = true
      })
      return true
    end
  }))
  delay(0.5)
  --SMODS.destroy_cards(context.other_card) -- Doesn't actually destroy the card :))
  return {
    message = 'Acquired!',
    colour = G.C.RED,
    remove = true -- is too fast.
  }
end

Using the "remove" destroyes it Immidiatly, using SMODS.destroy_cards doesn't actually destroy the card :)

[red flower]

does this work

local other_card = context.other_card
SMODS.destroy_cards(other_card)

[hidden notch]

Lemme try, one sec

[pastel kernel]

i don't actually know how to use this.

if randomeffect == 7 then
                print("Effect 7")
                    if context.before and context.scoring_name then
                        return {
                            level_up = G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].level*(card.ability.extra.lvl-1),
                            message = localize("k_upgrade_ex"),
                            print("Success")
                    }
                end

[hidden notch]

Same issue

[red flower]

oh so it creates ghost cards ok

[hidden notch]

Oh-
Sorry I should've mentioned that x'3

[pastel kernel]

I'm supposed to make this effect level up the played hand.

how do i make this happen

[dapper sun]

does anyone know if it's possible to interface with the bsky/atproto api in lua?

i wanna make smtn similar to membership card but for my bsky acc

i've found the thing in the bsky api docs for getting the acc data (eg: follower count) but idk how to get it using the smods http api

[pastel kernel]

hello?

[red flower]

hmm i cant think of a way to do it without patching the discard function

but i would need to test

[dapper sun]

have you tried adding remove = true to the return table?

it lets the game know you're destroying cards

wait i can't read

you did that already

[red flower]

maybe you can do it in pre_discard idk

[hidden notch]

Maybe Print your Result before the Return to see if it reaches and if the value is valid,
Usually I'd also just return a number in that place, so;

local num_val = G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].level*(card.ability.extra.lvl-1)
print(num_val)
return {
  level_up = num_val,
  message = localize("k_upgrade_ex"),
  print("Success")
}

[red flower]

no because it precomputes the discarded number damn

[hidden notch]

Yeah I was about to say.. That kinda leads to it's own problems x'3

I remember I tried to do something like this before and Just gave up
That was months ago and I tought;

Surely, now it'll be easier!

[long sun]

how can i change this patch, so that it replaces all instances of the pattern with the payload?

[red flower]

what i would do is use SMODS.destroy_cards and set a flag on the card so then you can patch this in G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted and do removed = G.hand.highlighted[i].removed or removed before the condition

[sturdy compass]

It should do that already

[long sun]

mm, weird

[sturdy compass]

You’re not cutting off a times argument are you?

[daring fern]

Is that the entire line?

[long sun]

it's not, strangely

[long sun]

no

i want this to work like a find and replace

[sturdy compass]

Ahhh that’s why

[daring fern]

pattern only works with the entire line I think.

[long sun]

ah i see

i'll do it line-by-line then

[red flower]

yeah i think you need regex for that

[long sun]

oh?

[red flower]

do not ask me what the pattern would be

[long sun]

do i just change pattern to regex, and replace all the special characters with escaped ones?

[red flower]

i mean, try it but i think you need to make the pattern match the line

[sturdy compass]

I have found this site to be extremely useful for regex stuff https://regex-generator.olafneumann.org/?sampleText=&flags=i

Very much recommend

[long sun]

trying this

ah it needs pattern

alright, retrying

[hidden notch]

That is... Pretty Smart, but , What a Load of Work

If it ends up being a Problem with other Mods, I'll just update the Keyword from the normal "removed" to some custom one x3

[red flower]

no wait im stupid that wont work either

i was thinking of something different and then i got distracted lol

[pastel kernel]

I feel like this joker is a big waste of time simply because it has 1 of 8 effects it gives when triggered.

[red flower]

you would need to patch this part so it doesnt draw if it is removed

[pastel kernel]

It randomly gives consumables, randomly retriggers jokers, randomly retriggers cards, doubles your money, gives square mult and chips, creates 7 random negative perishable jokers, randomly removes your stickers, and levels up your played poker hand.

How are you supposed to fit all of these in one joker

[hidden notch]

I made One with with 12 Effects, Oh boy felt it great to have it working
It might also be an Order Issue depending on what Kind effects go before it ^^'

[dapper sun]

i managed to find this, which seems to be what i need
https://docs.bsky.app/docs/api/app-bsky-actor-get-profile

[pastel kernel]

Can I share to you my progress and tell me what to change?

[long sun]

why is this happening?

i guess this is my cue to just patch the relevant lines individually 😭

[hidden notch]

Yep, that worked Purrfectly :3
Annoying for the Patch but hey.. it works!~

[long sun]

nice :D at last

woah, i just noticed, these are all Phanta jokers :D

[dapper sun]

omg it worksss

[crystal perch]

bump

[obtuse silo]

this hook is apparently relevant to everything going to shit when i look at the editions in the collection

[red flower]

context.starting_shop is not a tag context

try context.type == 'store_joker_modify'

[red flower]

update smods

[obtuse silo]

oh right

[red flower]

i think that will stop the crashing but viewing the collection will still trigger the context

[proven adder]

does anyone know if it is possible to bump the amount of consumables the user can select at once up to 2, and when 2 are selected, grab the id or name of them??

[long sun]

what FPS do Blind chips animate at?

[daring fern]

G.consumeables.config.highlighted_limit = 2

[obtuse silo]

mm
lemme think
i might need to add additional contexts to prevent it from triggering with the editions there

[long sun]

it's okay, i found that it's 10FPS

[hidden notch]

Actually, this brings it's own Problems:
When you have another Joker using
context.other_card == context.full_hand[#context.full_hand]
It doesn't trigger if the Last (or Specified Card) gets Removed :')

[hidden notch]

[red flower]

thats weird

[dreamy lodge]

How do I check how many of a certain joker you have? (I'm trying to make a joker that gives chips for each copy of itself you have)

[red flower]

maybe try another flag name

[red flower]

#SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")

[obtuse silo]

wait actually
it doesn't
i just needed to update smods :]

[dapper sun]

it's not working it's just using the fallback valueee

[hidden notch]

Already tried that and it didn't fix it

[dapper sun]

idk what the problem isss

it's definitely getting the right follower count so why isn't it using it

[robust marsh]

Is there a way to straight up just remove vouchers from the shop on each re-entry?

I have a card that's meant to spawn vouchers in but they just persist between shops until an ante is cleared and i cant find a workaround

[dapper sun]

ohhhhhh

it's bc the http call is asynchronous

i'm dumbb

how do i make the joker's value updated when the value updates?

[slim ferry]

i'd imagine you use the update function for a joker since thats for stuff that runs every frame

[hidden notch]

-# I'd actually suggest to only get the value at the start of each run-

[slim ferry]

or if you really want to update it then just do it at the end of round or smth

[sturdy compass]

Honestly yeahhhhh

I agree with this

[dapper sun]

either way

how do i make it show the right value in the collection and when in shop?

[hidden notch]

You could save the Value in a G.GAME global and call it from there?

[sturdy compass]

That’s not a bad idea

[slim ferry]

doesnt G.GAME only exist in runs tho

[red flower]

nope

it exists at all times but gets reset in runs

[rotund sable]

Did I live in lies this entire time

[red flower]

yes

[dapper sun]

if it gets reset in runs how do i make sure it exists at the start of the run

[hidden notch]

function SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals(run_start)
if run_start then
--code
end
end

[sturdy compass]

You can hook either start_run or init_game_objects

[obtuse silo]

i'm trying to make a copy of lines 487-489 that subtract hand size when a negative joker gets it's edition removed
how would i check for that?

[hidden notch]

And init_game to get it at the very start i guess x3

[sturdy compass]

[dapper sun]

i'm still confusedd

[sturdy compass]

What about exactly?

[dapper sun]

idk

i just

[thorn pumice]

hii! could someone help me understand how to create stickers 3:

[cursive gazelle]

Read the wiki and vanilla remade examples and you’ll understand

It should be like other game objects

[thorn pumice]

yeah thanks i already looked there

both places

i have it enabled on a stake but it seems to be applying to every card (tarots and planets) and also not performing the behavior i want

[cursive gazelle]

You should find parameters to fix that

[daring fern]

‎

[thorn pumice]

yes that's why i'm asking for help here because i've already spent a couple hours reading the wiki and look at vre and bunco sticker examples

[daring fern]

Code?

[slim ferry]

you need a sets parameter on the sticker for the first issue

[slim ferry]

as that determines what card types it goes on

[thorn pumice]

thank you i'll do that first

[red flower]

get_sell_cost doesn't exist

[thorn pumice]

got it

        return #G.deck.cards >= 3 -- placeholder
    end
}

[daring fern]

booster doesn't exist.

[quick scarab]

oh wait

[robust marsh]

can you remove a voucher after it has already been redeemed

[quick scarab]

wrong code

SMODS.Consumable{
    key = 'boost', 
    set = 'fnaf_item', 
    atlas = 'TarotFnaf', 
    pos = {x = 7, y = 1},

    end,
    can_use = function(self, card)
        return #G.deck.cards >= 3 -- placeholder
    end
}

[red flower]

opening boosters is wonky, i would recommend restricting the usage to the shop only

[high sinew]

Just curious lets say you wanna remove a certain voucher from pool for a deck whats the easiest way to do this?

[quick scarab]

them I just make so that the card adds 2 playing cards to the deck them

like I should have done to begin with

[red flower]

that's easy yeah

[hidden notch]

Okay so.. Oh my god that took so long and I cannot fathom why this works now--
The final Puzzle-Piece:, is to:
Call SMODS.destroy_cards with the immediate Parameter set to true BUT
Then putting that into an G.E_MANAGER:add_event set to trigger = 'after'
So, why not just call card:start_dissolve() in a Event?
Because then other Jokers listening for a Destruction Event won't trigger!
And don't get funny ideas, calling SMODS.calculate_context in this Situation also Crashes the Game!
YIPPEEEEE!!

Update for anyone Stumbling into this:
First of all, Hi! :3 - I hope you're not going as mad as I did :3
You might notice that the Game doesn't draw Back enough cards!
You can always just put the Hand-Draw event into your Return or;
Use best of both worlds! (Get a Custom Color and all SMODS Advantages!)
context.other_card:start_dissolve({{1, 0, 0, 1}, {1, 0.5, 0.5, 1}}, false, nil, false)
SMODS.destroy_cards(context.other_card, nil, true, true)
The order, surprisingly, matters owo'

[thorn pumice]

yayyy :D

[red flower]

amazing

[hidden notch]

But I have discovered a Bug with another Joker using SMODS.calculate_context,
so while the amount of my gray hair has increased... So has the amount of my Bugs to fix :')

[versed swan]

In the Deck register, add the following property:

apply = function(self)
    -- Other code...
    G.GAME.banned_keys[<voucher key>] = true
    -- More code...
end,

[hidden notch]

Okay I'm gonna start packing for an upcoming convention now, that sounds MUCH more pleasant after all of those shenanigans

[daring fern]

[hidden notch]

Ping me when there's an Answer ... Or if you're patient enough I'll look into it more next week owo'

[frigid cargo]

I wanna start learning ui except im not sure if the smods thing has everything i need to know. Does it have everything i need to know for basics?

[red flower]

its the only resource so

[frigid cargo]

Aw ok

[thorn pumice]

hii! could i ask if i'm doing smthn wrong? i added the sets but it still seems to be spawning on all types

[slim ferry]

i mean that looks correct

idk what the issue is here tbh

[thorn pumice]

also it spawns on literally every card and i'm not sure how to fix that, i don't see anything in the docs but in vre i see rate=0 for the pinned sticker?

okay thank you

[red flower]

i think should_apply overrides everything

so you would need to check the set and make a pseudorandom call in there

but i never made a sticker so i might be wrong

[thorn pumice]

aghhh this is so confusing

[languid canopy]

im trying to make so a custom joker appears on the main menu but it crashes, what do i do wrong ?

[red flower]

:create_joker doesnt exist

[languid canopy]

i see

but what does tho ?

[daring fern]

You should hook Game:main_menu if you want to add a card to the title.

[languid canopy]

yeah sure, howd i do that

i know nothing abt that toml thingy

[red flower]

you want to add a card or replace the existing ace?

[languid canopy]

add one (yeah it says replace i just wanted to know how it works before modifying it) code from talisman

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/a929a8410b7ec9e43d52796505730112510dfe11/src/general_ui.lua#L771-L781

[languid canopy]

oh wait nvm

do i have to shove that in a new lua file or in the main ?

[red flower]

wherever you want

[slim ferry]

it basically never matters where you put any code as long as you load it

[languid canopy]

hum

well it works..halfy

theres indeed 2 cards but the one thats not the ace of spade is invisible

[red flower]

show code

[languid canopy]

surely

[red flower]

oh i also forgot to highlight the next part that makes it visible below hah

[red flower]

you need this part too
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/a929a8410b7ec9e43d52796505730112510dfe11/src/general_ui.lua#L793

the timing on that is kinda bad tho i never got around to fix it

[languid canopy]

i need the whole spash part in between ?

[red flower]

no that's for the background

[languid canopy]

like this so

wait i didn't read it if i need to get rid of undefined things

uh should be good

it works !!

[languid canopy]

is there a bug with the floating sprites of custom legendaries ?

[red flower]

ah yeah that you need to resize as well

[languid canopy]

oh well

is there no parameter for a float sprites in there ?

[red flower]

try

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

[languid canopy]

as new lines or i replace those newcard lines in there

[red flower]

new

[languid canopy]

nvm ill try both way

kai

nope, no effect

i mean its fine lol ill just get another card instead of that one with the floating sprite

its not like my life depends on that one sprite resize xd

[red flower]

you can also check aiko's mod

[languid canopy]

👌

[red flower]

it has the legendary in the title

[languid canopy]

i see

[cursive gazelle]

How do i add talisman compat ?

[red flower]

last question on the vanillaremade faq

[cursive gazelle]

Much love

[zealous glen]

N': "Don't make me tap the sign."
Sign: *is just a mirror reflecting N'*

[robust marsh]

mmm what's the G.jokers.highlighted equivelent for consumables?

[red flower]

G.consumeables

.highlighted

[robust marsh]

ah

the spelling is different, forgot

[zealous glen]

With extra tables in calculation returns, what's the order again

Deep first?

[slender bay]

This doesn't work, any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[slim ferry]

what isnt working

also you should use SMODS.pseudorandom_probability and SMODS.get_probability_vars

[slender bay]

so what would that look like?

[red flower]

the other way around

[rotund sable]

SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'unnamed'', 1, card.ability.extra.odds)

[rotund sable]

we love the fact that this is technically outdated (they added a 6th parameter to the function)

[slim ferry]

okay but you dont need it

also this is like the only documentation

[red flower]

main_scoring doeswork with jokers

[slim ferry]

*doesnt

[red flower]

yeah that

my phone is acting weird

[robust marsh]

uhhhh is there a way to make it so the consumable doesn't get deselected when you try to select another one or is that too niche

[red flower]

you need to modify the highlight limit

[slim ferry]

G.consumeables.config.max_highlighted i think

[slender bay]

What should I use then?

[slim ferry]

individual

also use vanillaremade as reference...

its peak

#💻・modding-dev message

[gilded goblet]

i was about to ask what was the easiest way to debuff a playing card with debugplus because i couldnt figure it out how to not mispell G.hand.highlighted[4].debuff = true

i kept doing shit like g.hand.highlighted[4].debuff = true and G.hang.highlighted[4].debuff = true 😭

[umbral zodiac]

with debugplus dp.hovered is a way to get the card youre currently hovering over with your mouse

[red flower]

you can also highlight a card and do dp.hovered.debuff = true or use SMODS.debuff_card

[umbral zodiac]

^

[zealous glen]

@red flower Do probability modification effects apply if you don't own a card?

[gilded goblet]

good to know 🙏

ty gng

[red flower]

wdym

[robust marsh]

absolutely goated

thank you <3

[zealous glen]

If you own the card, I know it applies to the UI, but I suppose it doesn't work if you don't own it

[red flower]

if you hover it in the collection it should work too for example

[zealous glen]

Mostly because I have a card that would apply to itself if you owned it, but you wouldn't see the modified UI in the collection or shop I assume

[red flower]

ah yeah

[zealous glen]

Not sure how I want to handle that

[inner salmon]

Unsure if im being blind or stupid but are there any resources or documentation for starting off making a balatro mod?

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki there very much is

[ocean sinew]

how do I make a joker effect not work If It's being retriggered by another joker

[clear ocean]

sorry this is more for this channel

here's what it looks like

[hasty kelp]

will this legendary troll joker do anything since it return nil at the end and have no config or a return vars

    key = 'nichts',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Nichts',
        text = {
            ''
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    rarity = 4,
    cost = 12,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = false, 
    perishable_compat = false,
    config = {}
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        return {
            nil
        }
    end,

}```

[slim ferry]

you could just

not return

or not have a calculate at all for that matter

[hasty kelp]

and what should the troll text description be for it

[slim ferry]

also you could leave out config and loc_vars too

[hasty kelp]

but what should the troll text description of the joker be

[slim ferry]

{100}100 mult (real) (not clickbait)

[clear ocean]

the only two things is to make sure it cannot apply for egg or rental jokers and only set the sell cost to zero if it has the sticker which is what i was asking here

yup...

ooh i see why this happens

[hasty kelp]

tf does this mean

[cyan dust]

mismatched brackets

in src/jokers.lua, line 400

[zealous glen]

Take a look at the pinned message in the other channel

[hasty kelp]

i needed a comma

[modern kindle]

my brain is empty right now is there a way i can have a blind influence data on the cash out screen? i have blinds which give rewards during it and i want those to appear visually at the cash out screen even if the rewards are given mid blind

[wet crag]

and not context.retrigger iirc

[ocean sinew]

thanks

[zealous glen]

Wouldn't it need a special description too?

[clear ocean]

don't think that's supposed to happen

[modern kindle]

in which sense are you meaning?

as in the blinds actual desc or a specific section in the cashout

[hasty kelp]

now i get this

[clear ocean]

    should_apply = function(self, card, center, area, bypass_roll)
        -- G.GAME.modifiers['enable_'..self.key] and
        return not card.ability.rental
    end,

[hasty kelp]

    key = 'blankjoker',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Nichts',
        text = {
            '{100} mult (real) (not clickbait)'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    rarity = 4,
    cost = 12,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = false, 
    perishable_compat = false,
    config = {},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {}}
    end
}``` this is the code

[zealous glen]

Cashout

[rotund sable]

Did you save?

[hasty kelp]

i saved

[heady siren]

I've asked this before, but I don't think I ever really got an answer. Is it possible to hotswap an atlas on the fly based on a condition? I have my own deckskin, and I wanna make the atlas for the deckskin swap to a different image if the player currently has the Smeared Joker, because the new image is the deckskin with hearts and diamonds using an averaged color, and spades and clubs using an averaged color

[clear ocean]

but everything else works looks like it all i have left is to:

1. fix this
2. make a stake later on which enables it
3. make jokers like egg incompatible with duff

[modern kindle]

yea, i was thinking it would just pull the key of the blind or whatever and then under that just have normal text that says the rewards

in this case i give joker slots, dollars, and perma mult

so itd be like

Blind Name

+x joker slots
+x dollars
+x mult

[zealous glen]

I think L Corp might swap between vanilla and a modified atlas for bald Jokers. @crisp coral

[clear ocean]

is there a reason why not card.ability.rental isn't working?

[zealous glen]

I think if you want custom UI then you'll need to hook or patch stuff regardless

[clear ocean]

i did look at the vanillaremade and that's what it said for stickers https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-if-a-card-has-a-specific-editionenhancementsealsticker

[hasty kelp]

yes i saved but how to fix

[zealous glen]

also I think it might be confusing if it recalls stuff you've already gained without extra context

[rotund sable]

Is this your only joker?

[hasty kelp]

no i have a few other jokers and they work perfectly fine

[heady siren]

You pinged her

[rotund sable]

Then I have no idea why it's crashing saying the key is missing

[gilded goblet]

im assuming you will also change the sticker pos? or maybe make it so cards that have duff dont ever have rental? rlly cool

[heady siren]

Though it was not a reply, so

[modern kindle]

yea im not sure how to do it for clarity... with the new scoring calculation stuff i could probably just add a new scoring area with the value always there.. idk though

[clear ocean]

its the latter but clearly i am doing something wrong

[zealous glen]

It was a reply to you ;P

[heady siren]

Should I talk to Hatred specifically or go find her mod and check out the code there?

[clear ocean]

unless rental and duff together is fine and i can just move duff to the side

[gilded goblet]

oh okay, gl lmao

[clear ocean]

like would a joker that takes three dollars away but selling it gives you back nothing is balanced or something?

[zealous glen]

I think it would need some extra text, but also the proximity with the cashout screen might confuse Balatro players

Just because the cashout screen is meant for new winnings not to recapitulate old winnings

[modern kindle]

well the thing is there isnt really information about what you earned in that blind besides you just see values change

like you see suddenly you ahve more joker slots, you see and hear dollar change, and you just suddenly see when you play hands in the future its more mult, so its specific to the one blind to show you what you won

[zealous glen]

You said it happens mid-Blind

[modern kindle]

yes

[zealous glen]

so I'd expect a message mid-Blind

not post-Blind

[modern kindle]

meaning when you win the blind, the cashout would reflect what youve won

[clear ocean]

okay another problem

[heady siren]

I don't know the name of the mod and it didn't show up in #1209506514763522108 for "lobotomy corp" / "l corp" with or without the space

[clear ocean]

have no idea why either are happening like i read the docs right?

return not card.ability.rental and sets is joker = true

[red flower]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1248249207526002698

[modern kindle]

i was about to say

[red flower]

discord is bad you need to write whole words

[heady siren]

Discord's forums search function sucks

[modern kindle]

idk i have never fumbled looking for something

shrimply become more skilled

[clear ocean]

same thing with planet and tarot cards

[heady siren]

I have no idea what to look for in the code

[hasty kelp]

anyone know the missing parameter decleration key thing

[zealous glen]

take a look at the images

find the name of the bald atlas

[clear ocean]

i don't get this i don't get this

[slim ferry]

where is Card:redeem even called? i see that it gets used in G.FUNCS.use_card, though that isnt ever called on a voucher anywhere from what i see

[red flower]

in apply_to_run

[clear ocean]

so i set the value to self.ability.Farceur_Duff because of this and but now its not working i think i am going insane

AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO NOT HAVE IT APPEAR ON CARDS OTHER THAN JOKERS AH

[gilded goblet]

id help you out if i knew how lol

[clear ocean]

maybe if i make a stake that enables it maybe it solve it

[heady siren]

The way that mod does it is by hijacking the set_sprites function, is there a way to detect which deckskin is currently being used and whether it's low contrast or high contrast?

[zealous glen]

The latter yes

[red flower]

what's your code

[slim ferry]

Card:apply_to_run is already called inside Card:redeem tho

[clear ocean]

gimme a moment

[red flower]

oh wait

it is actually called in use_card for vouchers

[clear ocean]

the stake works part works

feel free to look at it @red flower but honestly i am running out of ideas to solve it

[red flower]

have you had the idea of looking at the games code

[clear ocean]

no?

[red flower]

then you didn't run out :3

[hasty kelp]

this is a fun trolling joker it sais +100 mult

but actually does nothing

[red flower]

the thing about applying to everything is because the should apply always returns true when it meets the condition, you need to check for the set and make a pseudorandom call

what was the other problem? the cost not updating?

[clear ocean]

the cost was updating but i only want it to only do that when you have the sticker but it isn't working anymore

it worked when it was true but that meant every cards even without the sticker has its value set to zero

[red flower]

you need to call set_cost when the sticker is applied

[red flower]

dunno

probably

[clear ocean]

so the self.sell_cost = 0 or function Card:set_cost()

[red flower]

just card:set_cost()

[clear ocean]

i just don't get this

the apply thing works

[rotund sable]

Maybe the rental is applied after your sticker

[clear ocean]

maybe idk

i mean it can be rental compatable just not sure if that would be fair

[rotund sable]

Would be annoying

[clear ocean]

it would but ugh

i don't like doing this like i like making up concepts but actually programming it in and just spending several hours debuging isnt fun

but i guess that's part of the deal idk

[rotund sable]

Sometimes I wonder if I'm weird for liking coding the mods more than playing them

[clear ocean]

if that is the case how could i make it not do that or at least have my sticker not apply because clearing not

[rotund sable]

No idea

[clear ocean]

is the compat_exceptions meant to be what i am supposed to use so only jokers (outside of egg) can have it?

[slim ferry]

compat_exceptions is for well, exceptions to the compatibility

it would just let you exclude specific cards from getting the sticker

[clear ocean]

well i mean it would prevent planet and tarot cards and egg from getting it but that won't prevent modded stuff from getting it that can't or won't need it

so it has to be like the other way

but again ugh

[red flower]

me

[clear ocean]

this is probably why i get no where with this kind of stuff and i am not having fun doing this but i don't like just outsourcing the work to someone else

like i spent a hour or two JUST for this sticker and debugging it

[hushed field]

Literally everyone here, honestly, haha

[slim ferry]

for entire sets youre supposed to use sets

[red flower]

this is a hard skill to teach but the reason i almost never asked a question is because i am good at just reading the code instead

[clear ocean]

maybe this kind of stuff aint for me

[slim ferry]

unless youre using should_apply

which overrides sets

[clear ocean]

that's probably why i stopped programming as much as i used to as a kid

i don't have the time or energy to waste

[rotund sable]

Nah you're just all knowing

[heady siren]

I've got it working, however, it only actually updates the cards in your hand / deck when the run is reloaded
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/s23jufm9gpmn97w0d1v5j/2025-09-01-14-02-37.mp4?rlkey=r9qcp2wzm03unpvsay10xragz&dl=0

[clear ocean]

like i have a five hour shift in a hour but with everything like ugh

[red flower]

my coworkers say i have really good memory because i remember a lot of stuff about our codebase haha

[clear ocean]

i do like computers and i am interested by how they work but i guess i am more of a designer than programmer

[red flower]

i hate computers

[clear ocean]

i mean is it normal for someone to like make the concepts and art and have someone else do the programming or something like a team effort?

but i am not much of an artist either i just feel like a dj khalid

[red flower]

it is normal in the sense that people do it, but many don't have the luxury to have the coder/artist to pair with haha

[heady siren]

I'm a game designer but not a game developer, and a worldbuilder but not a writer, I feel your pain

[clear ocean]

i see

i mean i could just work on concepts and such in my free time and if anyone wants a crack at it idk

[heady siren]

This is my code, extremely simple

If Smeared Joker is there, and you're using my deckskin, then it just makes it use the Smeared version

[clear ocean]

but i mean yeah i think this is something i won't work on i got other things to do

was fun and good luck

[heady siren]

I touch my mod once in a blue moon and then work on it for 3 days, periodically working on your mod is pretty normal

You can take a break and tackle the problem later if that works for you

I've been trying to get my thing working for weeks

[clear ocean]

it's more that i just don't have the time in the long run i have a job, got other hobbies, and school

[zealous glen]

you can probably force the sprites to update

[clear ocean]

and i rather spend my free time doing something i can enjoy short and long term

[heady siren]

How would I go about doing that?

[clear ocean]

welp gotta get ready for work by eating dinner and such

[zealous glen]

idk

[heady siren]

Good luck

[heady siren]

B r u h

[zealous glen]

Since you can change card sprites mid-run, try to see how vanilla does that

[near heart]

how can i use set to specify multiple consumable types? like if i want to generate a random consumable thats not just confined to one set how might i do that

[red flower]

you would need to randomly pick between those yourself

[near heart]

so just like generate a random number and have the number determine which it creates

[red flower]

it's easier to use pseudorandom_element

[rotund sable]

Pseudorandom preferably

[zealous glen]

why

[rotund sable]

Imagine you play seeded and each time you restart, the (insert what he's using it for) has different results

[zealous glen]

But pseudorandom_element keeps the same results

[rotund sable]

I wasn't saying that to N 😭

[zealous glen]

It's unclear especially towards a beginner

[red flower]

they posted it just after me give them a break 😭

[zealous glen]

I mean, that's why I asked for clarification

[timid zinc]

managed to make an error i dont think i've seen in my life

this is the code

[rocky plaza]

the key needs to have music in it somewhere

so like "pack_test_music" would work for a music track

[timid zinc]

Oh

[near heart]

btw spectral set auto ignores soul & black hole and planet set auto ignores locked hands right?

[red flower]

yes

[timid zinc]

why does my custom deck become nebula deck sometimes?

this is the atlas info

[cursive gazelle]

Yeah steamodded doesn’t load sprites on Monday evenings

[cursive gazelle]

Try changing your atlas key

And make sure it load before the deck

[timid zinc]

that makes sense, i load the files first in my main file

[feral tree]

How do i have a joker detect if you have another specific joker in hand?

[faint yacht]

if next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key'))

[red flower]

try changing the context to press_play

also #G.hand is not correct which doesn't matter here because you want that number to be 0 anyway but it's weird

also on_draw doesn't exist

unless you added it of course

[red flower]

also index doesn't exist lol

and calculate is missing an argument

i will come back in 20 minutes with more

[stiff locust]

can somoene explain pools to me

[bold sleet]

they have water and you swim in then

[red flower]

pools are tables of objects, usually to pick from for a random spawning effect

[stiff locust]

ok but what do i do to make one and how do i use it

say if i wanted to make a pack that contains jokers from x pool

[red flower]

i was going to link to ali's repo lol im going to let them explain

[faint yacht]

Define an ObjectType. Then either add cards inside of definition or as pools = ['namehere'] = true in definition of a Joker or whatever item.

[stiff locust]

ah

[red flower]

for a booster you can return { set = "objecttype key" } then

(no mod prefix)

[stiff locust]

where would i return that

[red flower]

in create_card

[stiff locust]

okay

i can do that

[red flower]

you need the area as well i think

[stiff locust]

question

[faint yacht]

create_card = function(self, card)
    return SMODS.create_card({ set = 'TOGAJKR', area = G.pack_cards, key_append = 'toga'})
end,

I just use it like so myself.

[stiff locust]

if i put a card key in the pool that doesnt exist

and it gets spawned by the pack

what happens

does it crash or does it go to default

[faint yacht]

If the pool doesn't exist, it'll crash on startup when trying to add items iirc?

[red flower]

i think it crashes on startup yeah

[stiff locust]

i meant

the card key doesnt exist

but the pool does

[faint yacht]

It should use the fallback one.

[stiff locust]

gotcha gotcha

thats convenient

this is gonna be really nice

[faint yacht]

You should probably define the cards in the ObjectType to include those that are for sure to exist, then use pools = for conditionally registered items.

[red flower]

i think it might crash too

[stiff locust]

I can access it like a table right

[heady siren]

I got my smeared joker deckskin swapper working [=

[faint yacht]

Yeah...

[heady siren]

I might do the same with jokers, making the color relevant jokers neutral colored as well

But that might be a little bit too much work, and it'd conflict with mods that replace joker sprites

[stiff locust]

thats a lot of words

[red flower]

this wont have anything in the cards pools however

you want G.P_CENTER_POOLS.objecttypekey

[hallow slate]

Where would be the best place in the code to alter the G.deck.cards card order

[red flower]

inside the .lua file

joking aside, you need to be more specific

[hallow slate]

Where does it shuffle the deck at the beginning of each blind?

[formal quest]

I'm creating a custom context here in card.setability so I can alter what type of planet card spawns. How can I make the spawning planet card accessible to a joker in calculate using the custom context?

[hallow slate]

I have this one enhancement which sends the card to the back of the deck

[red flower]

search for G.deck:shuffle

i have a patch for that part in my mod because i disable shuffling for an effect

[hallow slate]

"G.deck:shuffle('nr'..G.GAME.round_resets.ante)"

[red flower]

add a , givl_card = self to the context

[hallow slate]

Thx!

[solemn shuttle]

this is a very silly question to ask and im guessing the answer is no but

is there a way to add images to a card description

-# like if i hovered over a joker to see the effect all i get is an image LOL

[frosty rampart]

i think the answer might be yes actually
i don't know even the first step of how you'd go about that, but i feel pretty confident that the answer is not a firm no

[solemn shuttle]

hmmmm

[pastel kernel]

Gradients doesn’t work idk why

[wind steppe]

line 80 is if e.config.ref_table.ref_value == "unfiltered" then

and i dont know why this crashes

val is true e is nil

[faint yacht]

...for UI, isn't it optimal to have e first like vanilla? And to just prevent crashes, check if e is valid and a table.

[wind steppe]

i dont know

[wind steppe]

this would make it not crash but also not function surely

[faint yacht]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wind steppe]

and i do like my ui to do things

[formal quest]

Is there something wrong with this pseudorandom?

Not getting any successes

[frosty rampart]

probably not the direct issue, but don't use G.GAME.probabilities.normal in your pseudorandom probability calls. the function handles that already

i don't see anything else overtly wrong, it might be an issue with your context in that case. what happens if you always do the thing without the probability part?

[formal quest]

Still does nothing so it's probably not the probability. Here's what I'm doing

Custom context, sets planet card to be a black hole as it spawns

[frosty rampart]

i see
throw a print statement in the calculate to see if the context is running at all

[formal quest]

I know it is because it's just adding a custom context to something I was doing before

I had this doing what the joker does, inside the hook, I just added the context as a proxy

[frosty rampart]

oh you know what
you're setting [card].center in the calculate function when you should be setting [card].config.center

[viral ember]

Is there any way to get context in update?

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[formal quest]

Removed pseudorandom and tested with print statements. This line is running but it's not replacing the card.

[viral ember]

I'm trying to make takingtoolong become true after spending too much time idling (it all works I'm just trying to make sure it only happens in a blind)

[daring fern]

Yes, you would have to use Card:set_ability

[formal quest]

That's what I'm doing. See a few messages up.

[daring fern]

G.GAME.blind.in_blind

[daring fern]

No, you're directly setting the center.

[viral ember]

oh sick thanks!

[formal quest]

So it's only possible to change the spawning of a card from inside the hook even if I use a custom context?

[daring fern]

No, I'm saying to change the card, you have to use the function Card:set_ability

[viral ember]

nevermind

[daring fern]

context.givl_card:set_ability('c_black_hole')

[formal quest]

I'm replacing it with black hole so it won't loop anyways

[formal quest]

Nothing happens

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to call the context after the original Card:set_ability runs.

[formal quest]

Hey it works

The RNG works too, and the joker is finally copyable

[charred widget]

Hello friends, I have two tweaks i'd like to make for a joker of mine

Rayquaza here eats played stone cards, and gains 0.1x mult for every stone card eaten

however, it doesn't show the current mult in the joker's description

i'd like it to show the mult

[median veldt]

Okay so like technically

But like my mod uses like. one function from cryptlib at the moment, which exists in Cryptid (which i DO have activated rn)

So it shouldnt cause any problems right

Or would it be better to just have cryptid and cryptlib enabled

[stiff locust]

so with the new context.money_altered, can I see how much the money was changed by and if it is more or less than the previous money value?

[daring fern]

context.amount and checking if it's negative or positive.

[remote shell]

guys i forgot my deck

good thing i start with all these standard tags ;3

[gray void]

The deck forgets itself

[stiff locust]

if it's positive does that mean it was gained or lost

[daring fern]

It means the amount of money has increased.

[stiff locust]

gotcha

okay

[modern kindle]

if im blocking the players screen with an overlay, is there a way i can make it so they cannot select buttons by clicking? ive been blindly clicking things which is not ideal while blind and id like to prevent that

specifically this is in blind

[tall wharf]

i will need help from someone who knows about LSP

why do these definitions not show up in language server when i try to do stuff with it

[tired otter]

Hey so i have a joker that sometimes creates a negative RANDOM joker everytime shop is entered
Why does it say that it spawns SPECIFICALLY a Jimbo with i want the joker created to be random?

[daring fern]

Because that's what you're telling it to display.

[tired otter]

ok but how do i tell it not to?

[mystic river]

remove the part where you're appending to info_queue

in loc_vars

like, you actively put in code that looks something like info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.j_joker, this isn't a default feature that you have to turn off when you're not using it

[daring scroll]

Hey, y'all. Just messing around with Joker Forge to familiarize myself and experiment. Is there any way for me to obtain this in the site, or would I have better luck trying to code it directly?

Essentially turns each Discard into 2 Hands at the start of a round, then when a hand plays, the joker has XMult equal to the hands left (Kinda like Bunco's Righthook Joker retriggering cards an amount equal to hands remaining)

[rocky osprey]

yo bro great news

so you basically wanna set discardslost to the base discards the player has then minus round discards by the amount of discardslost

make sure duration is this round

then you wanna set addhands to discardslost

then double the value of addhands

then add the hands with the new value of addhands

also make sure that's also the duration of this round

then when you play a hand, set xmult to hands remaining

then multiply mult by the value of xmult

done

[daring scroll]

Hell yea, thanks. I used to mess with this stuff for Civ VI modding, but it's all left my head 💀

[rocky osprey]

no problem

[robust marsh]

i swear, i dont know why but jokerforge looks more complicated than doing it by hand

i never used it so ig thats why lmao

[daring scroll]

I'm a visual learner, so I either gotta think about functions as blocks of code, or literally see them like that

[rocky osprey]

yeah it's like scratch but balatro

people have different preferences

hello chat what causes this

i've been trying to figure out

[lament agate]

@daring fern are you available right now

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

alright, so i need some help understanding something

i looked at the globals.lua and i want to grab the value of the music's volume

this is for the name right

if i wanted to grab the vol instead

what do i change

[daring fern]

G.SETTINGS.SOUND.music_volume

[lament agate]

so i dont need the PROFILES

?

can you explain like, each one of them and what do they do if you can?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

G is the game, SETTINGS is the settings, SOUND is the sound settings, music_volume is the music volume.

[lament agate]

ahhhh okay okay

i see now

which lua is responsible for saving the player's data again

i.e best hand, win streak, etc.

[daring fern]

functions/state_events.lua?

[lament agate]

thanks

[lament agate]

okay so i got into a bit of problem right now

[daring fern]

G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].high_scores.current_streak.amt

[lament agate]

ahhh

right

thanks

[primal robin]

nxkoo, pro tip: use console to see value of stuff

[lament agate]

how to

enlighten me

[vast bough]

you are much better at joker forge than i am lol

[rocky osprey]

wow thank you

tbh my 4 years experience of scratch really helped

[thorn basin]

small question: how can I check if a card is held in hand at the end of the round?

[daring fern]

if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.playing_card_end_of_round

[thorn basin]

aight, thx

[wispy falcon]

Is there a table for cards that are in scoring right now?

[daring fern]

context.scoring_hand

[wispy falcon]

But is that a table?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[fluid nebula]

hello, i never modded Balatro before, is there some guide i can follow to code? all i wanna do is add few Jokers.

[daring fern]

#1349064230825103441 message

[fluid nebula]

thx

[lament agate]

@daring fern about the volume mult thing

it doesnt update like immediately

i think its per instance

what to do with it to make it update in real time

[daring fern]

You put it in update

[lament agate]

oh?

like?

[wispy falcon]

Nevermind, I need a table with all cards, not just the scoring ones

[daring fern]

context.full_hand

[daring fern]

update = function(self, card, dt)
    card.ability.variable = G.SETTINGS.SOUND.music_volume
end

[lament agate]

so i put this inside of the Joker?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

alrighty

[lament agate]

like this i presume

[daring fern]

Yes, but what is musicvol?

[lament agate]

oh its the hook for the music volume

[lament agate]

wait a second, if i dont have a config, what do i put in the card ability

[daring fern]

Why isn't the variable in the config?

[lament agate]

i figured if its local, i put it outside of the joker

[daring fern]

Yes, but it should also be a value in the joker.

[lament agate]

hmmm

fair

so like

config starts at 0?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[frail parcel]

how to check for a specific group of jokers?

[fluid nebula]

I just started making one joker, just for testing and i can't seem to load it in the game..

i am following a tutorial

[cursive gazelle]

Do you have a json file ?

[fluid nebula]

nope

but in the tutorial video, the guy did not had a json file and yet they got their joker in the game!

[cursive gazelle]

It should load without it but you need a json file anyways

[cursive gazelle]

It’s outdated

[robust marsh]

Probably outdated

[fluid nebula]

ahh

[cursive gazelle]

Metadata is now stored in a json file instead of header

[fluid nebula]

alright, thx

[cursive gazelle]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod

[robust marsh]

the header works but it's just a lot messier compared to a json

[cursive gazelle]

This is a simple joker mod example

[fluid nebula]

omfg it worked

[cursive gazelle]

I recommend reading the wiki

Like

A lot

[obtuse silo]

question
how would i make the "select_card" variable on a booster pack vary depending on consumable type?

because if i have the "select_card" in use then i can't have it so that some cards are used immediately

[robust marsh]

is there a way to make all consumables usable unconditionally

[obtuse silo]

wdym?

[primal robin]

[daring fern]

Hook Card:can_use_consumeable and return true always.

[primal robin]

Also G.FUNCS.can_use_consumeable

[daring fern]

No, that calls Card:can_use_consumeable

[primal robin]

It has oen checks aswell

Like for stop use

[daring fern]

No, that's in Card:can_use_consumeable

[primal robin]

I see, ok

[obtuse silo]

so say for instance
you wanted tarots and planet cards to be used immediately
but you wanted a different consumable type to always be drawn straight to your consumable slots
in the same pack
how would you do that

[wispy falcon]

How do I make a hand not count in a boss blind, like psychic but with different conditions?

[frail parcel]

how do i get current blind score

[pastel kernel]

uhh, does this actually remove stickers?

if randomeffect == 5 then
                print("Effect 5")
                local total = 0
                for i, v in pairs(SMODS.Sticker.obj_table) do
                    for i2, v2 in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                        if v2.ability and v2.ability[i] then
                            total = total + 1
                            print("Success")
                        end
                    end
                end
                return total,
            end

[rotund sable]

it just counts the sticker it seems?

[pastel kernel]

how do i actually remove it then?

remove the stickers i mean

[pastel kernel]

do you know how to make it so that it removes stickers

[rotund sable]

Card:remove_sticker(sticker)

[pastel kernel]

This is all stickers?

[rotund sable]

in your case v2:remove_sticker(sticker) i believe

[red flower]

i dont recommend it because consumables have checks to not crash sometimes

[rotund sable]

you have to specify

[pastel kernel]

It has to be all stickers though

[rotund sable]

you're iterating over all the stickers

you can just pass that in

[pastel kernel]

(Sticker)?

[rotund sable]

v2:remove_sticker(v) i think?

[pastel kernel]

like this?

 if randomeffect == 5 then
                print("Effect 5")
                local total = 0
                for i, v in pairs(SMODS.Sticker.obj_table) do
                    for i2, v2 in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                        if v2.ability and v2.ability[i] then
                            v2:remove_sticker(v)
                            total = total + 1
                            print("Success")
                        end
                    end
                end
                return total
            end

[rotund sable]

it should work

wait

v2:remove_sticker(i) actually

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-the-current-scored-chips-or-blind-requirement

[red flower]

did you check psychic's code

the eye is maybe more useful https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/7fb17004f6be392a71ff8f4d0de0a3a5d1e9a725/src/blinds.lua#L352

[obtuse silo]

?

[wispy falcon]

Why?

[robust marsh]

does it matter if their effects can't trigger anyway? Currently the way my code works, whenever a consumable is used it just never does anything regardless so if that's the case it is probably safe to make them usable at all times?

[red flower]

because of reasons you would understand if you read the code for both

[red flower]

is this for your own consumable because the earlier responses made it seem like it was for all of them

[robust marsh]

Mmhm, the consumable works similarly to Abyss from t. Apollyon if you ever played isaac. When used, the next consumable's effect is cancelled out immediately and instead a "locust joker" is spawned based on which consumable was used.

[wispy falcon]

I actually did read the code for both. The psychic uses debuff = { h_size_ge = 5 } while the eye uses context.debuff and debuff = true in return

[red flower]

oh then if it blocks the use effect it's fine

[robust marsh]

dope

thank you

[red flower]

yeah, thats why the eye is better because it doesnt use a config option

[robust marsh]

gotcha

[wispy falcon]

I was wondering why that doesn't work for me but uniqueRanks always gets set back to 0, doesn't it?

        local ranks = {}
        local seen = {}
        local uniqueRanks = 0
        if context.scoring_hand then
            for _, card in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
                table.insert(ranks, card:get_id())
                if not seen[card:get_id()] then
                    seen[card:get_id()] = true
                    uniqueRanks = uniqueRanks + 1
                end
            end
            print("All Cards: ", ranks)
            print("-----------------------------------------------------")
            print("Unique Ranks: ", uniqueRanks)
            print("-----------------------------------------------------")
        end

        if context.debuff_hand then
            if uniqueRanks > self.config.maxRanks then
                blind.triggered = true
                return {
                    debuff = true
                }
            end
        end
    end```

[red flower]

yes

hmm i actually dont remember the stuff in debuff_hand let me check

[wispy falcon]

Damn... Where should I put the local uniqueRanks = 0 instead?

[red flower]

what does uniqueRanks print

[wispy falcon]

The amount of unique ranks selected

[crisp coral]

try putting the vars outside the calculate

[red flower]

then its weird it doesnt work

[wispy falcon]

In config?

[crisp coral]

uhm,, na

just outside the SMODS.Blind scope

[wispy falcon]

Wait, it's randomly working now. I changed literally nothing and I did save it before testing

[red flower]

yeah as far as i see it it should have worked haha

[wispy falcon]

But why didn't it before TwT

[pastel kernel]

what am i doing wrong?```lua
SMODS.Gradient{
key = "Epileptic",
colours = {
HEX('FF0000'),
HEX('FF7F00'),
HEX('FFFF00'),
HEX('00FF00'),
HEX('00FFFF'),
HEX('0000FF'),
HEX('8B00FF'),
HEX('FF00FF')
},
cycle = 0.1,
interpolation = 'trig',
}

[red flower]

🤷

[red flower]

what are you trying to do and whats not working

[pastel kernel]

white badge color for rarity

it's supposed to be epileptic

not white

[red flower]

you probably set it wrong in the rarity not in the gradient

i think white is the default

[frail parcel]

is there a easy way to disable all vanilla jokers for a challenge rather than typing out every single id

[pastel kernel]

badge_colour = SMODS.Gradients["busterb_epileptic"]

[red flower]

are you defining the gradient before the rarity

[pastel kernel]

    key = "Grandiose",
    loc_txt = {
    name = "Grandiose",
    },
    default_weight = 0,
    pools = { ["Grandiose"] = true },
--    badge_colour = HEX('f7b4c6'),
    badge_colour = SMODS.Gradients["busterb_epileptic"],
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end,
}```

[red flower]

banned keys can now have a function so you can loop through the jokers and check if any of them is vanilla

[pastel kernel]

they're in separate lua files

[red flower]

which one loads first

[pastel kernel]

rarities.lua

[frail parcel]

how would i do this?

[red flower]

then thats the problem

[red flower]

loop though G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker and check for if not value.original_mod then table.insert(list, value.key) end and return the list

[pastel kernel]

ok that's too epileptic

[languid canopy]

hello, about custom decks, how can i change the base hand size ?

[red flower]

have you checked painted deck

[languid canopy]

not yet, ill do it right away

lowk forgot abt it

[sonic cedar]

Is there a context for taking a card from a booster pack?

actually found a diff idea instead

[cursive gazelle]

how can i add text styling to a gui node

[red flower]

manually

theres a function for it but most of the time its easier to do it yourself

i couldnt find what the function was called lol, its loc_parse_string

[sonic cedar]

this should work fine, no?

[red flower]

no, locals are reset between calls

[sonic cedar]

crikey

card.ability then?

[red flower]

yeah

[sonic cedar]

nice

[red flower]

whats the effect tho

[knotty orchid]

Is there any tutorial on shaders?

[hallow slate]

No

You steal

[primal robin]

ha
Convert text to parsed variant, and then localize it

[hallow slate]

:trole:

[primal robin]

While first part is relatively easy, actual localizing is problematic

Unless your mod for SMODS of course

[knotty orchid]

🫡

[hallow slate]

Shader making is the worst part

[cursive gazelle]

nooooo

i don't wanna localize

[knotty orchid]

That's what I've heard

wanted to learn anyways

[frail parcel]

im trying to ban all vannila jokers for a challenge
this doesnt work but it also doesnt crash

[red flower]

dont call the function

also what smods version do you have

[frail parcel]

1.0.0-beta-0827c

[red flower]

hmm, let me see how this feature works its pretty new

[red flower]

ok, it has to be banned_cards and it actually has to return a table in this format like normal

[knotty orchid]

Not what I was looking for but I like it

[frail parcel]

so i have to do it manually?

[red flower]

no, the function works

[knotty orchid]

You can make a function that returns that table

[red flower]

but the return has to be in that format

and it has to be banned_cards instead of banned_keys

[frail parcel]

so how would i do that
im a bit confused

[red flower]

can you copy the code here

so i can modify it

[frail parcel]

restrictions = {
banned_cards = {
local banned = {}
for k, value in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker) do
if not value.nimsi then
table.insert(banned, value.key)
end
end
return banned
end,
}
}

[slim ferry]

you just made a table but with function code inside it

should be banned_cards = function() ... end

[frosty rampart]

banned_cards = (function()
  local banned = {}
  for k, value in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker) do
    if not value.nimsi then
      local temp = { id = value.key }
      table.insert(banned, temp)
    end
  end
  return banned
end)(),

[frosty rampart]

banned_cards is supposed to be a table
the way the function works is pretty clever, it runs code that creates a table in place where the function code is

[slim ferry]

oh i see

[frosty rampart]

that way it can be automated based on a value stored in the joker instead of having to manually write out a fuckton of cards

[red flower]

like this

restrictions = {
    banned_cards = function()
        local banned = {}
        for k, value in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker) do
            if not value.nimsi then 
                table.insert(banned, {id = value.key})
            end
        end
        return banned
    end
}

[frosty rampart]

oh right you can just make banned_cards a function too

[red flower]

yes, if you call it it's not going to work for other modded jokers

[languid canopy]

how can i hide certain modded hands unless the player play a specific deck ?

[willow scroll]

how would i target the card that is the view deck button?

[red flower]

visible can now take a function

[languid canopy]

alright

[slim ferry]

steamhappy

[willow scroll]

wait is it G.deck.cards[1]

[slim ferry]

im pretty sure G.deck.cards[1] is the bottom of the deck iirc

[hardy viper]

it's probably G.deck.cards(#G.deck.cards)

[]

not ()

[red flower]

i think the card at the top is G.deck.cards[1]

[slim ferry]

buh

[red flower]

not the top of the deck but the top of the area

like the one that shows up at the top, not the actual card that is drawn

[willow scroll]

yeah i need the one that shows up specifically

i have a dumb idea on how i want to display my permanent buffs

[red flower]

its what smods uses to display messages

[hardy viper]

oh odd

yeah that's fucked up

oh wait

okay yeah

[slim ferry]

attempt to call function "cards" (a table value)

[hardy viper]

okay nvm that's optimal

[slim ferry]

:3

[sonic cedar]

how can i check the value of a card ability ingame? tried doing an eval dp.hovered but im not seeing anything

[hardy viper]

blame the telephone device

[willow scroll]

that should just work?

[slim ferry]

wouldnt it just be in card.ability

[hardy viper]

you should do dp.hovered.ability

[willow scroll]

oh wait yeah mb .ability

[hardy viper]

if it's nothing then uh you're not hovering anything

[sonic cedar]

thank you 😭

no i meant nothing as in no ability info

mb

why did that freeze my game

balatro please

[hardy viper]

are you storing any sort of object in ability

because that would be Bad

[hardy viper]

deck?

[sonic cedar]

deck

[hardy viper]

elaborate

[sonic cedar]

changed to the card.ability version since this image but this what its for

[hardy viper]

idk if it's causing the issue but you should remove deck from where it is in this screenshot

idfk what the other issue is

probably nothing that can be ascertained from what you've given

[sonic cedar]

but then i dont have a card.ability.deck

[hardy viper]

you don't in the first place

if you really want to you can do like deck = 0

as it is rn it causes a hole in the table

which doesn't do anything necessarily

Hi there! Is there a context for checking if THIS joker was destroyed? In every documentation I've seen there's only checking for selling it or destroying playing cards

Like I'd like to check if this joker was sold OR destroyed and then do something

[slim ferry]

another joker or itself only?

[hollow horizon]

itself

[slim ferry]

do it in remove_from_deck

since that gets called when its removed in any way

[hollow horizon]

So should I do
if context.selling_self or context.remove_from_deck then
or simply
if context.remove_from_deck then?

[slim ferry]

remove_from_deck is another function on the joker

you wouldnt do it in calculate

[hollow horizon]

I see

so just write whatever I wanna do in remove_from_deck just like I'd do in calculate?

[slim ferry]

yeah

[hollow horizon]

Great

Thanks

[jolly pivot]

anyone know why there are these white pixels on the edge if you have pixel smoothing enabled?

is it just a balatro thing or something on my part?

the atlas doesnt have anything there its just transparent

This may be a stupid question, but to make sure... Does "G.GAME.round_resets.ante" does what it sounds like it does? That is Changes ante to 1? I don't want to reset the whole game or anything. Just go back to 1 with all the jokers and stuff

[rocky plaza]

G.GAME.round_resets.ante stores the current ante

[hollow horizon]

Ooooh ok

So it wasn't that stupid question

Can I just... G.GAME.round_resets.ante = 1?

[red flower]

use ease_ante() instead

[hollow horizon]

just that? just if SOMETHING then ease_ante() end?
