local card_set_cost_ref = Card:set_cost()
function Card:set_cost(self)
    card_set_cost_ref(self)

    if self.edition then
        local cost_sub = self.edition.negative and G.GAME.modifiers.rad_extra_cost_negative or 0
        self.extra_cost = self.extra_cost - cost_sub
        self.cost = self.cost - cost_sub
    end

    return card_set_cost_ref
end

[pastel osprey]

real

[ocean sinew]

for some reason G.GAME is nil

[pastel osprey]

yeah i saw that

its odd

[ocean sinew]

what If you do and G.GAME ~= nil first

maybe it'll work?

[pastel osprey]

see in rust there's no such thing as null so this shit doesnt happen 😎

[ocean sinew]

btw question cuz I'm curious

[pastel osprey]

wait what do i put

[ocean sinew]

what happens??

[pastel osprey]

wdym what happens

oh like how does null work?

[ocean sinew]

if self.edition and G.GAME then

[pastel osprey]

ohhh okay

[ocean sinew]

in rust

[pastel osprey]

yeah

so you have an enum called Option

Option<T> to be specific

it looks like this

enum Option<T> {
  None,
  Some(T),
}

so the None variant holds no data

and the Some variant holds an instance of T

now the good part of this

is that things cant just be null

they must be wrapped in Option

so you cant just forget to do null checks because you literally cannot use the value without processing the option

[ocean sinew]

Is there any downside though?

[pastel osprey]

so when something returns an option you either match it, or unwrap it

[pastel osprey]

not really

its slightly more work but its less work in the long run than troubleshooting null errors

[ocean sinew]

Very cool feature ngl

[pastel osprey]

its awesome

rust also doesnt have exceptions

it uses a similar thing to option called Result

[ocean sinew]

Been thinking of learning rust cuz rust is like the next C++ of programming languages

[pastel osprey]

enum Result<T, E> {
  Ok(T),
  Err(E)
}

result has an ok value and an error value

same situation as option

its awesome

[ocean sinew]

Btw on a scale on 1/10 how hard do you think rust is?

[pastel osprey]

hmm thats tough

i think theres a point where the design philosophy of the language just *clicks*

well shit

local card_set_cost_ref = Card:set_cost()
function Card:set_cost(self)
    card_set_cost_ref(self)

    if self.edition and G.GAME then
        local cost_sub = self.edition.negative and G.GAME.modifiers.rad_extra_cost_negative or 0
        self.extra_cost = self.extra_cost - cost_sub
        self.cost = self.cost - cost_sub
    end

    return card_set_cost_ref
end

[pastel osprey]

i can help you learn rust if yo uwant

it will be way easier if someone can help you lol

the first major hurdle is understanding the borrow checker

do you know C or C++ at all?

[ocean sinew]

very little of C++

[pastel osprey]

okay

do you know what a use after free is

[ocean sinew]

yes

[ocean sinew]

function Card:set_cost()
    self.extra_cost = 0 + G.GAME.inflation
    if self.edition then
        for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Edition) do
            if self.edition[v.key:sub(3)] then
                if v.extra_cost then
                    self.extra_cost = self.extra_cost + v.extra_cost
                end
            end
        end
    end
    self.cost = math.max(1, math.floor((self.base_cost + self.extra_cost + 0.5)*(100-G.GAME.discount_percent)/100))
    if self.ability.set == 'Booster' and G.GAME.modifiers.booster_ante_scaling then self.cost = self.cost + G.GAME.round_resets.ante - 1 end
    if self.ability.set == 'Booster' and (not G.SETTINGS.tutorial_complete) and G.SETTINGS.tutorial_progress and (not G.SETTINGS.tutorial_progress.completed_parts['shop_1']) then
        self.cost = self.cost + 3
    end
    if (self.ability.set == 'Planet' or (self.ability.set == 'Booster' and self.ability.name:find('Celestial'))) and #find_joker('Astronomer') > 0 then self.cost = 0 end
    if self.ability.rental then self.cost = 1 end
    self.sell_cost = math.max(1, math.floor(self.cost/2)) + (self.ability.extra_value or 0)
    if self.area and self.ability.couponed and (self.area == G.shop_jokers or self.area == G.shop_booster) then self.cost = 0 end
    self.sell_cost_label = self.facing == 'back' and '?' or self.sell_cost
end

this is the original set cost function

[pastel osprey]

i have it up already

[ocean sinew]

as you can see it also indexes G.GAME specifically G.GAME.inflation at the start of first line

[pastel osprey]

i saw that yeah

i tried to fix

no luck

local card_set_cost_ref = Card:set_cost()
function Card:set_cost(self)
    if G.GAME then
        card_set_cost_ref(self)
        if self.edition then
            local cost_sub = self.edition.negative and G.GAME.modifiers.rad_extra_cost_negative or 0
            self.extra_cost = self.extra_cost - cost_sub
            self.cost = self.cost - cost_sub
        end
    end

    return card_set_cost_ref
end

[ocean sinew]

so maybe If you add if G.GAME ~= nil then to the beginning it would fix?

If It doesn't work I have no idea ngl

[pastel osprey]

yea this is odd lmfao

[urban wasp]

not sure why my joker is crashing 😔
lines line up with the file for my code sent btw

[ocean sinew]

yeah

[pastel osprey]

rust is a really fun language though

[pastel osprey]

insane joker

[urban wasp]

bro hasn't seen cryptposting

[pastel osprey]

i have not

i have only played one content mod for the game and its cryptid

i like vanilla lol

[ocean sinew]

btw guys

I gotta sleep cuz I sadly have school tomorrow

so bye

[pastel osprey]

aw rip

cya

[ocean sinew]

cya

[red flower]

you dont need the return

what does this do

oh the first line should be local card_set_cost_ref = Card.set_cost

[willow scroll]

okay surely now that i made the whole thing customizable and now that ive used that customizability for one of my existing uses it will now work correctly 100% of the time :clueless:

it seems to atleast 🎉

i can sleep peacefully now

[pastel osprey]

someone said to have it

[red flower]

i mean it's good practice to have it but that function doesnt return and the way you're returning is wrong

[pastel osprey]

yeah

oh i fixed it

[urban wasp]

i was told that asking this in here might be more fruitful

[pastel osprey]

the reference local was calling the function rather than storing a pointer to it

local card_set_cost_ref = Card.set_cost
function Card:set_cost(self)
    if G.GAME and self then
        card_set_cost_ref(self)
        if self.edition then
            local cost_sub = self.edition.negative and G.GAME.modifiers.rad_extra_cost_negative or 0
            self.extra_cost = self.extra_cost - cost_sub
            self.cost = self.cost - cost_sub
        end
    end
end

[red flower]

its ortalab

[pastel osprey]

and i needed to assert that self is not nil

thats it

[urban wasp]

ah

[red flower]

eremel said he was adding them to smods at some point

[urban wasp]

one day... 😔

[red flower]

uhh

[urban wasp]

also bump might not be the best thing to send in here because it's really janky and there's a lot of code in general but yk i can try

[red flower]

youre replacing self

dont do that

[pastel osprey]

so it appears i made a mistake

[pastel osprey]

what how

every card is now free 💀

[red flower]

it should be function Card:set_cost() or function Card.set_cost(self)

: means it has self

[pastel osprey]

ahhh

i did not know that

once again i have like zero lua experience

by the way, in my deck's description it says that negatives are $5 cheaper

should i say "-$5 Negative cost" or "$-5 Negative cost"

[red flower]

-$ looks better imo

[pastel osprey]

agreed

okay prices are no longer zero

okay so it just doesnt work

great

wait hang on

@red flower is this line good

local cost_sub = self.edition.negative and G.GAME.modifiers.rad_extra_cost_negative or 0

not sure why my code no worky

local card_set_cost_ref = Card.set_cost
function Card:set_cost()
    if G.GAME and self then
        card_set_cost_ref(self)
        if self.edition then
            local cost_sub = self.edition.negative and G.GAME.modifiers.rad_extra_cost_negative or 0
            self.extra_cost = self.extra_cost - cost_sub
            self.cost = self.cost - cost_sub
        end
    end
end

yo......

[urban wasp]

thumbsup~2

[pastel osprey]

true

i just cannot get this to work bro

[pastel osprey]

bro can you help with this idk what to do

it doesnt seem to want to even use the method override here

[urban wasp]

what do you need help with?

[pastel osprey]

ts isnt working

[urban wasp]

i'm not really the greatest at coding but

[pastel osprey]

im good at it just not lua

im fumbling around in the dark here 💀

especially cuz i dont know how smods works very well

[urban wasp]

this looks like it should work

[pastel osprey]

it does

but it just does nothing

[urban wasp]

i think i'm as braindead as you

[pastel osprey]

i even tried a full manual override

function Card:set_cost()
    self.extra_cost = 0 + G.GAME.inflation
    if self.edition then
        self.extra_cost = self.extra_cost + (self.edition.holo and 3 or 0) + (self.edition.foil and 2 or 0) + 
        (self.edition.polychrome and 5 or 0) + (self.edition.negative and 5 or 0)
    end
    self.cost = math.max(1, math.floor((self.base_cost + self.extra_cost + 0.5)*(100-G.GAME.discount_percent)/100))
    if self.ability.set == 'Booster' and G.GAME.modifiers.booster_ante_scaling then self.cost = self.cost + G.GAME.round_resets.ante - 1 end
    if self.ability.set == 'Booster' and (not G.SETTINGS.tutorial_complete) and G.SETTINGS.tutorial_progress and (not G.SETTINGS.tutorial_progress.completed_parts['shop_1']) then
        self.cost = self.cost + 3
    end
    if (self.ability.set == 'Planet' or (self.ability.set == 'Booster' and self.ability.name:find('Celestial'))) and #find_joker('Astronomer') > 0 then self.cost = 0 end
    if self.ability.rental then self.cost = 1 end
    self.sell_cost = math.max(1, math.floor(self.cost/2)) + (self.ability.extra_value or 0)
    if self.area and self.ability.couponed and (self.area == G.shop_jokers or self.area == G.shop_booster) then self.cost = 0 end
    self.sell_cost_label = self.facing == 'back' and '?' or self.sell_cost
end

this also did fuckall

[urban wasp]

breaddead

[pastel osprey]

(expensive negatives)

[pastel osprey]

literally me

[rocky plaza]

are you overriding the function instead of hooking it?
i feel like theres an easier solution with hooks

[pastel osprey]

read up

[rocky plaza]

oh

lmao

[pastel osprey]

hook didnt do anything, i used an override to test if it was an issue with smods refusing to hook

debugging 🔥

[red flower]

does the modifier exist

[pastel osprey]

local card_set_cost_ref = Card.set_cost
function Card:set_cost()
    if G.GAME and self then
        card_set_cost_ref(self)
        if self.edition then
            local cost_sub = self.edition.negative and (G.GAME.modifiers.rad_extra_cost_negative or 0)
            self.extra_cost = self.extra_cost + cost_sub
            self.cost = self.cost + cost_sub
        end
    end
end

    end
}

[red flower]

no idea it looks fine to me

[pastel osprey]

my thoughts precisely

see if balala was written in rust this would not be an issue

[harsh belfry]

is it to do with the use of self????????

[pastel osprey]

i doubt it

[harsh belfry]

you should check but probably not

[pastel osprey]

which usage of self

where

there are many

[harsh belfry]

the one where you access the config

[pastel osprey]

?

[stiff locust]

how would I make something happen when I click on a joker

[manic rune]

hook to Card:click or smt

is it :click 🤔

smt similar to that

[rocky plaza]

i think so yea

[harsh belfry]

        G.GAME.modifiers.rad_negative_rate = self.config.rad_negative_rate

self.config.rad_negative_rate may be nil (shouldn't be but i don't know what else it would be)

[stiff locust]

2mo

with card:click() the card is the card being clicked on right

[pastel osprey]

its not nil

config = {
        rad_negative_rate = 0.097,
        rad_extra_cost_negative = -5,
        joker_slot = -2,
    },

[harsh belfry]

yeah but self might not be what you are expecting

[red flower]

yeah self is the card clicked

[stiff locust]

gotcha

[pastel osprey]

this behavior works fine with rad_negative_rate so if thats actually somehow the issue

fuck me sideways then ig

[harsh belfry]

yeah i wouldn't say this otherwise

[pastel osprey]

i use it here

[harsh belfry]

too much has been tried

[pastel osprey]

local poll_edition_ref = poll_edition
function poll_edition(_key, _mod, _no_neg, _guaranteed, _options)
  -- do chance roll here - if it succeeds, _guaranteed = true

  if pseudorandom("radium_overflow_deck_negative") < (G.GAME.modifiers.rad_negative_rate or 0) then
    _guaranteed = true
    _options = {'e_negative'}
  end

  return poll_edition_ref(_key, _mod, _no_neg, _guaranteed, _options) -- call original function
end

[azure laurel]

how can i publish mods on the balatro mod manager?

[pastel osprey]

lemme do some further testing

[rocky plaza]

is G.GAME.modifiers.rad_extra_cost_negative somehow nil within a run? thats literally the only point i see that it could fail to apply the change but based on whats been said i dont think thats the case

[harsh belfry]

wait you aren't setting rad_extra_cost_negative i think

[pastel osprey]

i am

wait maybe im not shit hang on

am i a dumbass

[harsh belfry]

not in apply

[pastel osprey]

FUCK im not

lmfao

[rocky plaza]

yeah i think u need to set it in apply
otherwise the variable isnt set

[red flower]

PR the balatro mod index, it's in the BMM thread

[pastel osprey]

im aware

i think i just forgor

[azure laurel]

what in the name of its a PR?

[pastel osprey]

well fuck

[frosty rampart]

Pull Request

[harsh belfry]

now self explodes????

[pastel osprey]

i guess

balajank

bro my dorm smells like cigarettes now who is lighting one up outside my window

ill kill them

wait nvm it crashes because i broke something else while testing

nvm chat

[azure laurel]

where is that thread?

[red flower]

#1209506514763522108

[pastel osprey]

looks like it worked

YAY

wacky shop bro

for fucks sake

[red flower]

i think it's the parentheses you added

it will crash with any editioned card that's not negative

[pastel osprey]

fixed it

yeah

[humble pawn]

I regret nothing

[pastel osprey]

i optimized my logic a little

[pastel osprey]

LMFAO

what does it actually do

[humble pawn]

Gives 161156 mult... and then gets deleted

[marble stratus]

I'm trying to add a custom deck to balala (yahimod balatro) and for some reason it crashed every time I open game

[pastel osprey]

wait i didnt even know that riff raff can make negatives

[marble stratus]

Can somebody help?

[pastel osprey]

send your code

[marble stratus]

Ok

Just the one or do I send the whole decks thing?

[gilded blaze]

what are you trying to achieve with that deck

[winter flower]

what’s the crash message
(and send the code for the deck you’re trying to make here)

[marble stratus]

I'll send

[pine dove]

using an old version of lovely didnt work either

[marble stratus]

bill cipher i will shake ur hand if u somehow fix alll this.

[wild escarp]

How could I track each time a joker destroys itself? I'm guessing a hook into Card:remove() with a global variable, but idk what to do from there.

[pine dove]

i am suffering

[marble stratus]

same.

coding is tghe digital equivalent of the souls of the damned screaming at you.

[rocky plaza]

are you tracking it for an individual joker or for every joker that self destructs?

[wild escarp]

I want to track when any joker self destructs.

[rocky plaza]

oh ok
then yeah i think ur on the right path
tho i will say hooking Card:remove can be very finicky

[daring fern]

context doesn't exist in remove_from_deck

[wild escarp]

You are trying to create a joker with the key "c_yahimod_deer". Joker keys start with a j, not a c.

[marble stratus]

oh my god.

the only problm

deer are in consumeable slot

It doesn't let you just put jokers in the consumables slot? I'm unfamiliar with that kind of stuff.

[marble stratus]

i am in pain

[rocky plaza]

use SMODS.add_card instead of using the vanilla function call
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#jokers-or-consumables

it should automatically place it in the right area

[marble stratus]

whermst?

[warm umbra]

how would i get a list of all the jokers

im trying to make it so that if you have multiple of one card it does the negative part of the card once

joker*

so i also need the position of the joker in the jokers

[rocky plaza]

actually itd be easier to change ur current code

for i = 1, 2 do
  local card = create_card("Joker", G.jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, "c_yahimod_deer", "yahimod_deck")
  card:add_to_deck()
  --card:start_materialize()
  G.consumeables:emplace(card) -- should be G.jokers:emplace(card)
end

but yeah SMODS.add_card is a lot more convenient

[marble stratus]

th ank y ou

[rocky plaza]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker has all the joker keys in order

[warm umbra]

how would i get the position of the current joker then

if that makes sense

[daring fern]

Every joker or only owned jokers?

[warm umbra]

the jokers you currently are using

[rocky plaza]

oh

[daring fern]

G.jokers.cards

[warm umbra]

probably should've been more specific

mb

😭

[warm umbra]

i was doing this but idk how to get the keys

what type of object is in the thing

[rocky plaza]

G.jokers.cards is a table of cards

to get the key of a joker
do
card.config.center.key
assuming card is a joker

[warm umbra]

is there a way to like

get the current position of the joker

in the jokers you are using

[daring fern]

local my_pos = 0
for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do
    if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
        my_pos = i
        break
    end
end

[warm umbra]

this does work if there are multiple jokers of the same type right

[daring fern]

Yes.

[warm umbra]

alright tysm

[daring fern]

Two cards cannot be the same.

[knotty garnet]

Having trouble running cryptid mod correctly

If anyone is free to help, id appreciate it

[stiff locust]

hooking card:click to play noises

but it is crashing because self does not exist?

even when I check if self before running it

it WORKS

i fixed it

[versed swan]

Try asking on the Cryptid server

[glossy sky]

hey, I'm curious if it is possible to make a consumable "upgrade" a hands chips permanently (kind of like a planet). I have implemented it using the following:

However the problem is that once a planet card is bought, it defaults back to being the chips of said hands level. (e.g. if this increases the chips by 10, and a level would give +20 chips, then the level up only gives +10 chips)

[daring fern]

You need this in a lovely file:

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = '''=[SMODS _ "src/game_object.lua"]'''
pattern = '''
hand[self.key] = math.max(hand['s_'..self.key] + hand['l_'..self.key]*(hand.level - 1), 0)
'''
position = "at"
payload = '''
hand[self.key] = math.max(hand[self.key] + hand['l_'..self.key]*amount)
'''
match_indent = true

How does one allow seals to retrigger joker retriggers?

[glossy sky]

That works. Awesome! Thanks!

[high verge]

Is there a way to force a card to spawn with a specific seal for testing?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[high verge]

How does one do that

[daring fern]

card:set_seal('modprefix_key')

[high verge]

I'm guessing this is done with the debugger?

[daring fern]

You mean DebugPlus?

[high verge]

Correct

[daring fern]

Then you would do CTRL + E while hovering over the card.

[high verge]

Merci

[urban wasp]

why doesn't this work it's like 12:41 am but i gotta get this done

...
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {self.config.extra.winning_ante}, colours = {{0.78, 0.35, 0.52, 1}}}
    end,
...

oh and

...
    loc_txt = {
        name ="Astro's Deck",
        text={
            "Start with {C:attention}2{} {V:1}Eternal", 
            "{C:dark_edition}Negative{} {C:attention,T:j_mktjk_astro}Astros",
        }
    },
...

[daring fern]

colours should be in vars

[urban wasp]

ah right

one more question whats the prefix for stickers

s no workie

nor does st

[daring fern]

Nothing.

[urban wasp]

oh so literally just eternal/perishable/etc

nah didn't work it crash

[burnt tide]

I wanted to make a poker hand : Triple Pair
i really don't know why it doesn't work

i'm using the double pair code from vanilla remade btw

[jolly pivot]

struggling to check for the exact jokers in context.retrigger_joker_check

like i want very specific jokers to be trigger.

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[jolly pivot]

basically i have joker that should retrigger a very small subset of jokers

like 5 or 6 of them from my mod? ill have to count

its not a broad range and they dont have anything in common besides their theme

wondering if theres an easy way to check the name or key of the joker because my efforts suck

[manic rune]

flag the jokers in their config

then you can just check for context.other_card.ability[" your flag"]

[jolly pivot]

ic

thank you

[jolly pivot]

so just this right

[manic rune]

.ability.extra in that case

[jolly pivot]

o

[red flower]

without the extra was ok

[jolly pivot]

i have very little idea of how the config of a joker works i just put variables in and they work

[red flower]

anything in config gets put into card.ability

[manic rune]

.

wait no it isnt inside extra

my bad 😭

[cursive gazelle]

extra is in card.ability

[manic rune]

just .ability will work yeah

[cursive gazelle]

Oh you mean the check

[jolly pivot]

from what im getting, extra is just a table in the config right

[manic rune]

card.ability.extra is config.extra basically

anything in config will be put in card.ability, like N' said

[jolly pivot]

icic

[red flower]

i think the convention is because at one point things outside of extra didn't get saved? idk

that's what the docs say in one part

[stiff locust]

yeah that was a thing ages ago

we had to put everything in extra

it has been gone for eons

[cursive gazelle]

Back in my day …

[stiff locust]

back in my day itayfeder was the one maintaining fusionjokers

my journey to a new run involved multiple version changes and manual installs and we didn't have any of this context.beat_boss or context.main_eval baby shit you guys have now

this new generation is so spoiled

[manic rune]

dang new lore

[stiff locust]

isnt this all

known stuff

[manic rune]

not the extra one

thats new to me

[red flower]

no most of us started this year lol

[stiff locust]

i guess im an outlier

[cursive gazelle]

I have an issue
My wifi doesn’t connect to my pc when i open it does thus for like 5 minutes
Even tho i’m using a cable

[manic rune]

did old calc have SMODS.calculate_context

[stiff locust]

I'm old and my keyboard is broken

so i cant send exclamation

[manic rune]

I'm Old!

[stiff locust]

thank you

[hardy viper]

naw

[cursive gazelle]

What are you up to bepis ?

[hardy viper]

back in my day we had to do everything manually without any documentation you younguns have it so good /s

[cursive gazelle]

Sadly i can’t add localization to my mod because there would be so much colors

[hardy viper]

smh what's wrong with color

[cursive gazelle]

Okay picture this

5x5 box grid with every box containing a colored text

[stiff locust]

objection this

[cursive gazelle]

I think it’s painful to look at honestly

[manic rune]

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

hell nah i cant imagine modding without that 🥀

[wispy falcon]

How do I add only Mult to a poker hand?

[cursive gazelle]

If i return false in in_pool does it make it not spawn ?

[red flower]

yes, by random means at least

[willow scroll]

oop it seems my set_particles from pseudo_open is applying it to the wrong thing 💀

how would i make it so a booster pack can spawn multiple of the same consumable even without showman

[wispy falcon]

bump

[long sun]

two things:

• what does stickers expect? i've had no luck getting this to work
• why do the cards spawn in the Jokers area, and how can i fix this?

[red flower]

stickers looks correct to me
for the second problem try adding the area to create_card

[wispy falcon]

bump2

[azure laurel]

PERU?

someone knows how to make a new area, like a second consumable area?

[red flower]

me

[azure laurel]

cool

how?

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[azure laurel]

where goes the code, in the main lua file?

[red flower]

anywhere you like as long as the file is loaded

just to be clear, making areas is like intermediate stuff so you will have to make a lot of tweaks to this

there's no nice API for it

[azure laurel]

what does JoyousSpring does?

[red flower]

that's the global table for my mod

[azure laurel]

i need to change it for my mod?

[red flower]

you dont need that, i just do it to have an easier reference to it

oh and the type should be 'joker' instead of 'extra_deck'

[cursive gazelle]

What’s the parameter for add_card to specify a card

[red flower]

a playing card?

[cursive gazelle]

Tarot

[red flower]

i dont understand what you mean then

a specific card?

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card{ key = 'c_key' }

[cursive gazelle]

C lowercase ?

[red flower]

yes, it should be the key for the consumable

like c_fool

[cursive gazelle]

I was doing uppercase

[red flower]

F

[cursive gazelle]

“Fool” or “fool”?

Nvm got it working

Ty N

[red flower]

jokerforge has the list of keys

[cursive gazelle]

Reading the Src for add_card -> it’s been create_card all along ->reading the src for create_card -> i’m nod emplacing my cards every time i add them

[red flower]

yeah that's what the docs say too

[primal robin]

[gilded goblet]

how can i get rid of this ugly ERROR badge? my localization entry seems correect (i t hink):

descriptions = {
  -- jokers, etc.
  Other = {
    emith_tax = {
      name = "Tax",
      text = {
        "Lose {C:money}$#1#{} for",
        "every hand played",
      }
    }
  },
  misc = {
    labels = {
      emith_tax = "Tax",
    }
  }
}

hold on i have an idea nvm it didnt work

stickers.lua file (please ignore the functions, ill worry about them later) :

SMODS.Atlas {
  key = "stickers",
  path = "stickers.png",
  px = 71,
  py = 95
}

SMODS.Sticker {
  atlas = "stickers",
  key = "tax",
  badge_colour = HEX "dcdcdc",
  pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
  should_apply = true,
  sets = {
    Joker = true,
  },
  apply = function(self, card, val)
    card.ability[self.key] = val
  end,
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return {vars = {1}}
  end,
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual then
      ease_dollars(-1)
    end
  end
}

[red flower]

misc goes outside descriptions

[gilded goblet]

oh...

lmfao, thank you 😭

[marble stratus]

gng how do u get the text to look like that

[gilded goblet]

```lua
-- your code here
```

only good thing to ever come out of discord

[marble stratus]

alr this comes up whenebver i click to check my deck

[red flower]

if it's not an issue with a mod you're making pls post it in #⚙・modding-general

[obtuse silo]

for some reason, the list still reads as "nil" when i evaluate the "numberarray" list

[marble stratus]

im making a deluxe yahimod.

and thisis an issue with a deck i madew

[red flower]

then post code

[marble stratus]

okiw

[red flower]

local variables reset between function calls

    end,
})

[red flower]

hmm I don't think the deck is the problem

[marble stratus]

whar

[red flower]

it seems to be a problem with the whatsapp seal

[marble stratus]

wha huh

that was in the base mod and worked fine

[red flower]

does it work if you remove then entire apply function

[marble stratus]

the huh

[red flower]

this

comment it out for a sec

[fair osprey]

Is there a way to "lock" a local variable during the rounds, then have it be dynamic during the shop?

[red flower]

elaborate?

[marble stratus]

wouldnt that get rid of the whole deck?

[red flower]

it would get rid of the jokers

[marble stratus]

but thats tge only thing in the de ck

[red flower]

yes

and we are diagnosing the problem

thats how programming works

[marble stratus]

oj okie

[fair osprey]

nevermind, I just had a eureka

[red flower]

nice

[fair osprey]

ty anyway

[marble stratus]

it broke the whole game, crashes on start

[red flower]

did you only get rid of the apply function

[marble stratus]

ah

srry im new to coding

[red flower]

SMODS.Back({
    key = "asgoredeck",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Asgore's Dagger",

    },
    pos = { x = 4, y = 0 },
    order = 1,
    atlas = "Decks",
    unlocked = true,
})

like that

[marble stratus]

okiw

[marble stratus]

that makes game no craesg

[red flower]

SMODS.Back({
    key = "asgoredeck",

            end,
        }))
    end,
})

try this

[marble stratus]

game crsahes on start

[red flower]

whats the crash

[red flower]

you probably copied it wrong

[marble stratus]

wha

hold up i think u rite

ITS FIXEDEXD

[red flower]

i am right, i can read the crash log lol

[marble stratus]

THANKYOUOUOI

[twilit tundra]

does anyone have a jimbo i can edit for making art

just the base jimbo

[frosty rampart]

"how to read a crash log" seems like a damn good thing to put on the vremade wiki

[red flower]

i thought about it but idk how to explain it

[red flower]

https://github.com/balamod/aseprite-balamod-extension/blob/main/extension-src/Images/DefaultJoker.png

[frosty rampart]

hmm yea
I'll think it over. is there any way to make a PR to the wiki?

[twilit tundra]

ty!

[red flower]

i dont really know how it works lol

[frosty rampart]

ok, no worries
I think the wiki has to be its own repository somehow, that's how smods has it set up iirc

[red flower]

i'll see if i can set that up

else just send it to me or PR it to the main repo

[marble stratus]

ALRIGHT NEVERMIDN V1 ULTRAKILL KILKLED ME GAEM

[manic rune]

why is yahimod in here

[frosty rampart]

they're making a yahimod addon

[manic rune]

o

[marble stratus]

im making yahimod DX

[manic rune]

why is it printing out {}

am i missing something

[red flower]

i think only certain keys are returned directly

[cursive gazelle]

Clearly you’re not sigma

[manic rune]

dang.....

[red flower]

try adding passing ret as an argument to calculate effect

calculate context*

[manic rune]

like this?

[red flower]

yeah

[manic rune]

lemme check

oh that was it

thanks N' :3

[red flower]

yw

[manic rune]

i saw the function returning something so i kinda assumed it would return the ret table

bleh

[red flower]

i think it only returns the registered ones

[manic rune]

3:

ic

well now time to solve the issue of how to get it run this without recursive shenanigans...

[twilit tundra]

how do i use debugplus to give myself a specific joker again

or regular debug

[frosty rampart]

hold tab for the debugplus cheat sheet

(ctrl-3 while hovering over anything in the collection to spawn it)

[twilit tundra]

what arguments does copy_card() take?

[umbral lichen]

anyone know a way to change the odds of joker rarites in the shop? trying to do a voucher that makes rares and uncommons more likely to be in the shop

[red flower]

modify G.GAME.[rarity key in lowercase]_mod

[umbral lichen]

cool ty

[frosty rampart]

function copy_card(other, new_card, card_scale, playing_card, strip_edition)
other is the card you want to copy
new_card is a card object you want to copy to, or just nil if you want to create a new card object
card_scale is the size of the new card object, just set it to nil to default to the same size as the other card
playing_card is uhhhhhhh i dunno tbh
strip_edition is boolean, but i think it only really has an effect on negative?

[red flower]

playing_card is the number playing cards are assigned when added to deck iirc

[manic rune]

@red flower question, why does returning anything will cause the game to crash?

🤔

i cant seem to figure it out

without it the code works fine

[red flower]

why are your screenshots getting smaller

[manic rune]

erm

is it

sorry its the inflation 3:

[red flower]

arent the returns processed by eval card?

[manic rune]

erm

yeah that, makes sense

damn

hm

[red flower]

no they arent

[manic rune]

:3

[red flower]

hmmm

i would ask eremel

[manic rune]

a

[manic rune]

@wintry solar :3 sorry for pinging

[twilit tundra]

how would i make this pop up the "Copied!" text below the joker like this without breaking out of the for loop early? (as i still want to count cards drawn afterwards)

[wintry solar]

What am I looking at?

[manic rune]

oh so i want to hook to eval_card to have something to calculate the stats v this

[twilit tundra]

right now when it does that it stops the loop early so draw_tally always ends up at 0

[manic rune]

everything works so far except for when i return anything in context.bsr_stats

which will cause the game to hard crash immediately

i can easily add a workaround but i want to know whats causing it 🤔

[red flower]

SMODS.calculate_effect({message = ""}}, card)

[manic rune]

-# and if theres potentially a better approach i can go for

[twilit tundra]

is there a field for color too

[manic rune]

message_colour?

[wintry solar]

Just colour

[manic rune]

o

[wintry solar]

Do you have post triggers turned on?

[manic rune]

i do...

oh, hm

[robust marsh]

how can i make my consumable immune to Perkeo's effect?

[wintry solar]

You are infinitely looping then

Just block post triggers from your hook

[manic rune]

adding this didnt seem to work...

hm

hmmmmmmmmm

[red flower]

hmmm

[twilit tundra]

i uh
don't think using card here is correct because it uh. crashes

[manic rune]

i might be running out of ideas

[wintry solar]

If you put prints in what do you get in the log?

[manic rune]

put in where 🤔

if its that print in the picture then it hard crashes so i cant really tell lol

[twilit tundra]

what should i use instead?

self?

[manic rune]

whats your code

[twilit tundra]

that also crashes

SMODS.calculate_effect({message = localize('k_copied_ex'), colour = G.C.Chips, card})

[wintry solar]

You can still check the actual log file

        end
    end
}```

[manic rune]

oh right

[wintry solar]

card should be outside the table

[manic rune]

its G.C.CHIPS btw

[wintry solar]

SMODS.calculate_effect({}, card) fill the table in with stuff

[twilit tundra]

AH

[manic rune]

doesnt seem to print out anything at all

[wintry solar]

And if you move it a line up?

[twilit tundra]

it is so niche and useless i love my creation ❤️
why would you want this joker

wait why did it go from 15 to 19 after discarding 5 cards

huh??

[manic rune]

. oh

that, makes so much sense

[wintry solar]

Block that one too then 😂

[twilit tundra]

oh huh its also doing the create a card animation uh. after the card gets added to the hand so it looks weird. probably should reorder things then?

so it doesnt look like its replacing a card lmao

[manic rune]

it finally works now

thanks eremel :3

[sonic cedar]

-# @daring fern figured more out whenever youre available
-# all the values are being saved properly, but it's that they aren't being allocated
-# as you can see, burglar's hand addition value is being saved under extra, as it should be
-# howEVER, there's nothing in place for the joker to use the abilities of jokers with extra as NUMBERS as it will typically look for extra as TABLE
-# which'll get you crashes like ease_hands_played trying to compare with a table when it requires a number

[twilit tundra]

can somebody help me figure that part out i am. so confused by it

[wintry solar]

Can you screenshot the code it’s awful to read copy paste on mobile

[twilit tundra]

okay yeah its definitely that sometimes when discarding 5 cards it only goes up by 4 instead of 5?

which is weird

[red flower]

can we have SMODS.copy_card

[wintry solar]

Yes

[sonic cedar]

wait really

[wintry swallow]

any tips on how to start modding?

[wintry solar]

I don’t remember if they do, but if cards get drawn one by one your copy will fill a space

So you only draw four

[twilit tundra]

the thing is it even happens going from like 3->7
with no copy added

seems to be rare though i cant reproduce it

[red flower]

check the pins in #⚙・modding-general

[marble stratus]

helelp

[burnt tide]

i don't understand what i need to do, sorry

[red flower]

Rather than a text table, loc_txt should contain a description table

[burnt tide]

oh ok

thanks

[dreamy lodge]

how do I make the message pop up stay for longer?

[robust marsh]

do you guys know any mods that create new card areas? Possibly below the consumables. Anywhere really

[red flower]

mine

#💻・modding-dev message

[red flower]

add delay to the return

[frosty dock]

what even

[red flower]

i just saw that lmao

[hardy viper]

what is this even for

im so intrigued as to the context

found it

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/838/commits/19aafbadbe31d67921a4627013c96bb1f683b3c9#r2323240980 haha

[limber blaze]

1 day further away from quantum ranks being merged

[hardy viper]

quantum ranks are over

[wispy falcon]

Do my Jokers that use this rarity appear in shop like this?

    key = "chatter",
    pools = {
        ["Joker"] = true,
        ["Joker"] = { rate = 0.7 },
    },
    badge_colour = HEX("8956FB"),
}```

[frosty dock]

for every passing day, quantum ranks move 2 days further from being merged

[limber blaze]

just 1 more change

and quantum ranks will be ready

trust me bro

[frosty dock]

works every time 0.01% of the time

[red flower]

can you merge this https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/732

[frosty dock]

I am capable of merging this

but I certainly am not willing to

[red flower]

its funny tho

[frosty dock]

it works every time 75% of the time

I'm not even gonna pretend I'd care to try and understand what the hell this is doing exactly

before merging it I'd rather discontinue smods altogether

[hardy viper]

quantum ranks is both merged and unmerged, it isn't realized til i open https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pulls

[frosty dock]

Schrödinger's ranks

[wispy falcon]

bump

[frosty dock]

why are you assigning to the same key twice

just the one with the rate table should do fine

[wispy falcon]

Because I was tired when I wrote this code

But that doesn't answer my question...

[chrome token]

this is fucking awesome actually i need this to be real
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/917

[frosty dock]

should be fine otherwise

[wispy falcon]

How rare are they right now compared to the other rarities in the game?

[frosty dock]

lgtm

[frosty dock]

wait that's not in the wiki as reference? they'll be weighted the same as common jokers

meaning with no other rarities present, the chance of a given shop joker having your rarity is 0.7/1.7 or about 41%

[wispy falcon]

It isn't, iirc

[frosty dock]

how so

[frosty dock]

looks good to me

[chrome token]

why did you reply to it twice 🥲

it's not my pull request, just thought it should be merged lol

[frosty dock]

i'm just slow and forgot i already replied i guess? or confused it with replying to the actual PR? not sure haha

[chrome token]

oh loll

[hardy viper]

looks good to @frosty dock

[wispy falcon]

?

[frosty dock]

do cards of your rarity appear at some other rate? do they not appear at all? is there an unusual abundance of basic jimbos?

[wintry solar]

does it lag at all?

[wispy falcon]

I meant that it isn't in the wiki

[frosty dock]

oh i misunderstood what you were saying then

my bad

[wispy falcon]

But no, my jokers actually don't appear at all in the shop, for whatever reason

Or at least it doesn't seem like they do

[frosty dock]

did you remove the ["Joker"] = true yet? and can I see code of a sample joker that you assigned this rarity to?

[wispy falcon]

Yes and here:

    key = "shnack",
    config = { extra = { chips = 0, chipsMod = 0.1 } },
    pos = { x = 5, y = 0 },
    rarity = "cstorm_chatter",
    cost = 0,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = false,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = false,
    atlas = 'chatters',

    calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips
            }
        end

        if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual then
            card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chipsMod
            return {
                    extra = {focus = context.self, message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')}
                }
        end
    end,

    loc_vars = function (self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.chipsMod }, key = self.key}
    end
}```

[frosty dock]

okay wtf

I'm so sorry

the wiki has incorrect information

[wispy falcon]

It has?

[frosty dock]

it should be weight = 0.7 instead of rate

[wispy falcon]

Now they immediately showed up in the shop xD

Thank you, I was so confused

[frosty dock]

I'll update the wiki right away

[wintry solar]

woah wiki updates?!

[frosty dock]

we don't mind incomplete information

but incorrect information just doesn't fly

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Rarity there, hope that's clearer

[wispy falcon]

It is, thank you again :3

[gilded goblet]

how can i have a sticker only be applied to jokers instead of all cards? i think ive tried a lot of thingfs by no

[slim ferry]

put ```lua
sets = {
Joker = true
}

[frosty dock]

I'm confused how no one has ever called me out on this. it's always been like this and it's always been wrong

[gilded goblet]

yuh i've tried this

[slim ferry]

buhh

ive seen this not work for people before

[gilded goblet]

womp womp

[slim ferry]

do you have a should_apply on your sticker definition? because that overrides sets

[red flower]

i forgot to PR it the last time i saw it

[gilded goblet]

oh thats probably why,hold on now

[red flower]

and then i forgot what it was i needed to PR lol

[gilded goblet]

i have this:

should_apply = function(self, card, center, area, bypass_roll)
  return G.GAME.modifiers.enable_tax_in_shop
end,

and on the stake i set that global to true

[slim ferry]

i dont think you need to make a function for the flag? at least the smods.sticker page advertises it that way

[frosty dock]

tbf i also haven't been checking issues on the wiki repo

[wispy falcon]

How do I keep a variable between the instances of a joker and not change even after the joker is sold and the bought again?

[slim ferry]

store it in G.GAME

[red cradle]

how can i get the level of played poker hand?

[red flower]

G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].level

[red cradle]

ty

[dreamy lodge]

how do I make a new effect trigger immediately after a previous effect?

I'm trying to make something happen in a specific sequence

[red flower]

return {
  chips = 50,
  extra = { mult = 5 }
}

like that?

thats chips first mult second

[dreamy lodge]

Well what I'm trying to do exactly is send a message then do the thing after its done saying the message

but if I put the thing after the message it still does it first so I think I have to make it a different effect

[red cradle]

maybe event with delay can help? (idk)

[red flower]

i dont know how my answer doesnt help with that

i literally do this

[dreamy lodge]

is it the extra part?

[red flower]

yes

this is done doing that

[gilded goblet]

either stickers are fucked up and evil or im stupid

[red flower]

theyre evil

whats the problem

[gilded goblet]

either they apply to every single card or they dont show up at all

[red flower]

can i see your code

[dreamy lodge]

Its still happening before the text

even though I put it in the extra

[red flower]

can i see your code too

[gilded goblet]

SMODS.Sticker {
  atlas = "stickers",
  key = "tax",
  pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
  config = {
    extra = {tax_rate = 1}
  },
  badge_colour = HEX("dcdcdc"),
  sets = {
    Joker = true,
  },
  apply = function(self, card, val)
    card.ability[self.key] = val
  end,
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return {vars = {self.config.extra.tax_rate}}
  end,
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.final_scoring_step then
      G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
          card:juice_up()
          ease_dollars(-self.config.extra.tax_rate, true)
      return true
        end
      }))
      card_eval_status_text(card, "dollars", -self.config.extra.tax_rate)
    end
  end
}```

idk what happened with the calculate function formatting-wise

[red flower]

and this doesnt apply or does it apply to everything

[dreamy lodge]

The destroy part happens after but it creates the card instantly even with the extra part you told me to add

[gilded goblet]

this does not apply at all
if i use should_apply with return true it applies to everything

[red flower]

oh

you need events for functions

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager

[errant arrow]

Where would I start for fusing jokers together to create a new one?

[red flower]

what happens if you remove sets

also you should remove that apply function, the default one does more

[dreamy lodge]

I'm confused on how this works

[red flower]

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

[red flower]

damn

[frosty dock]

cropping is har

[gilded goblet]

same thing,
if should_apply() returns true, applies it to everything
if should_apply() missing, it doesnt apply at all

[gilded goblet]

did that too just now

[red flower]

uhh idk then, you might need to copy the entire default should_apply lol

[dreamy lodge]

I meant I was confused on how events worked

[red flower]

an event gets put into the queue and then they play in order basically, return messages are events too

[frosty dock]

should_apply = function(self, card, center, area, bypass_roll)
  return SMODS.Sticker.should_apply(self, card, center, area, bypass_roll) and other_condition
end

you should call the default if you want its functionality

[red flower]

why did you blunder me

did u read the conversation lol

[frosty dock]

there's no need ever to copy that, you can just reference it and add whatever condition you need on top of that

[red flower]

But if it wasn't working for them without it defined then why would it work if they reference it? My point was more about copying what it does rather than copying it directly

[frosty dock]

not sure what that would change

[red flower]

that it might work

[gilded goblet]

yea it didnt work, ill just wait until sticker implementation is less weird to understand, i suppose

[dreamy lodge]

Thx so much I got it working

[red flower]

oh do the one without the should_apply and set needs_enable_flag = false

weird that it defaults to true

[frosty dock]

right, enable flags

[red flower]

it should probably say it

[sonic cedar]

does a card's cost get stored in config.center? like card.config.center.cost? realized i should prob ask here

like how the key gets stored under card.config.center.key, that sort of thing

[gilded goblet]

what the fuck man

im tired, ty all

[red flower]

yes

[sonic cedar]

thanks n

[errant arrow]

how do i add dependancies? wasn't it (in the meta data)

"dependencies": [ModFileName]

trying to make Talisman a dependency even though everyone should already have it

[frosty dock]

just consult the wiki

it's not the file name, it's the mod ID

[azure laurel]

@red flower why the game crashes (srry to disrrupt you but i was in school)

[red flower]

uhhh was this about the card areas

[azure laurel]

yes

[cursive gazelle]

I think they’re using your global

(I’m 100% sure )

[red flower]

ok like i said, joyousspring is the table for my mod and you dont need that part

just the self.area_name = CardArea(...)

i should write about this on the wiki

[azure laurel]

so i only edit the parts where says that?

[red flower]

i can't tell you that you need to "just" do that because i dont know honestly, this is probably something you need to tinker by yourself and find out

[primal robin]

Making own card areas kinda annoying tbf

[red flower]

yeah

[primal robin]

But looks like I finally made it

[frigid cargo]

Hi N

[red flower]

hi

how is your name pronounced btw

[frigid cargo]

Ku ra ku

[red flower]

暗く

nice

[frigid cargo]

くらく

Thanks

[red flower]

i was trying to write it with the jp keyboard but didnt know the kanji

[frigid cargo]

Ah

Im learning japanese

[red flower]

i should resume

[frigid cargo]

My memory not too good with kanji

[frigid cargo]

Real

[versed swan]

for me the most annoying part about it is the responsive position - I have a custom cardarea set up, but it keeps shifting for each person I see playing the mod i'm helping develop

[red flower]

that happens to me too lol, i need to see how to fix that
probably changing the major of the area

It doesn't help that the borders of the screen depend on resolution

[primal robin]

It's doable if center your stuff

Corners is not reliable place

Okay, so I made a card area for dices, where they keeped like in bag. You can even move them, but not outside of area

heh

[frigid cargo]

man i hate animations. im tryna do an event to set the speed of the animation to what i want but when i switch its y pos. it just continues the animation for a little while before stopping and its annoying bruh

anyone here good at anims that can help?

[zealous glen]

floop the pig

I'd ask what you're trying to do but I'm going to sleep. If you're still trying tomorrow or on the weekend maybe I could help

[frigid cargo]

i should be free so any help will be appreciated

[zealous glen]

are you just trying to animate soul sprites?

[frigid cargo]

Yes

[zealous glen]

It's easier with custom draw functions IMO

[frigid cargo]

Im tryna animate the sprite based on whatever happens in game

[zealous glen]

Take a look at Paranoia from my mod or Heartbreak

[frigid cargo]

Dang, i never learned or checked draw function

[zealous glen]

They respond to cursor movement

[frigid cargo]

I will thanks for the tip

[zealous glen]

If this is for multiple Jokers, you could also make it into a SMODS.DrawStep

[frigid cargo]

Does the wiki talk about custom draw functions in the SMODS.DrawStep or nah?

[zealous glen]

Custom draw functions are a different thing

[frigid cargo]

Oh

[zealous glen]

I think that e.g. Eremel would say that DrawSteps override the need for custom draw functions, but I disagree

[frigid cargo]

Where can i learn about draw functions?

[zealous glen]

I don't know if it's written down anywhere. I imagine in some page for card objects (like SMODS.Joker), it might mention you can define a custom draw method, but that's not what I'm talking about

You can define a custom draw method for the soul sprite itself

[frigid cargo]

Oh

[frigid cargo]

How would i do that?

Im sorry im havent used draw before

[zealous glen]

I don't know if the feature is described anywhere

I learned it from seeing someone else's code

but where you define the position of the soul sprite in the atlas, you can also define a custom draw function for the soul sprite

I recommend looking at Paranoia from my mod because I don't remember which mod I reference. I remember looking at Cryptid but Cryptid had other stuff going on so I couldn't understand what it was doing

I did get some help from Firch so maybe Bunco might have something, although it was for something specific (determining the cursor position accurately, since I was off by some specific factor)

[frigid cargo]

Great thanks!

[sonic cedar]

anyone know where the rarity NAMES are stored? doing this will just display the rarity as a number

[faint yacht]

Vanilla ones are numbered, otherwise, strings.

[sonic cedar]

yes thank you, but i had already figured that. can i pull those strings automatically like this? or will i just have to specify manually?

[faint yacht]

Via localize.

[sonic cedar]

ahhhh thats right! completely forgot about localize

let me workshop something rq

[faint yacht]

k_common, k_uncommon, k_rare & k_legendary.

[sonic cedar]

and do they have the numbers linked to them? like the 1, 2, 3, and 4?

or do they act separately?

[faint yacht]

You'd have to "associate" them yourself, assuming, to pass the right one for localize to pull the string.

[sonic cedar]

darnit, was hoping i wouldnt have to

thanks for the help regardless though!

[high verge]

I'm having an issue where a seal I'm working on the "sleepypoints" variable is showing as nil in the seal description.SMODS.Seal { key = 'belphegor', pos = { x = 2, y = 1 }, config = { extra = { sleepypoints = 2 } }, badge_colour = HEX('d80007'), loc_txt = { name = 'Belphegor', label = 'Helluva Boss', text = { [1] = 'Each round this card adds', [2] = '{X:mult,C:white} X#1# {} Mult when scoring.', [3] = 'Increases if this', [4] = 'card is held in hand', [5] = 'at end of round{C:inactive}', [6] = '(Resets if played){}' } }, atlas = 'helluvaseals', unlocked = true, discovered = true, no_collection = false, loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card) return {vars = {}} end, calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.main_scoring then return { x_mult = card.ability.seal.extra.sleepypoints } end if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then card.ability.seal.extra.sleepypoints = 1 end if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card == card and context.individual then return { func = function() card.ability.seal.extra.var1 = (card.ability.seal.extra.var1) + 1 return true end } end end }

[cursive gazelle]

You are returning nothing in loc_vars

[high verge]

Ah, do I just put sleepypoints in there?

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

Try checking for nil before returning it or else it might crash

Or say “nil”

[high verge]

Is this wrong? I got a nil again xD

[cursive gazelle]

Because it’s nil

😭

Check for nil and return it else return a string

[high verge]

But it shouldn't be empty, the default value for it should be 2.

[cursive gazelle]

Or just make sure your variable is global or initialized before this joker or else it wouldn’t exist

Are you doing local sleepypoints=2

[high verge]

I currently have the sleepypoints in the config extra

[willow scroll]

card.ability.extra.sleepypoints

Instead of sleepypoints

[high verge]

I will try that thanks

[cursive gazelle]

Oh i thought it’s a global variable sorry

[cursive gazelle]

No

[high verge]

No?

[cursive gazelle]

Seal.config.extra.sleepypoints

[high verge]

Actually yeah this is a seal

Yeah xDD

[willow scroll]

Im stupid omfg

[high verge]

Nah you're smarter than I am here xD

[cursive gazelle]

It’s not a card

[cursive gazelle]

(I’m not sure if seals take extra as argument ) because tags don’t

[high verge]

Aaaaa

[cursive gazelle]

Check SMODS.Seal

[high verge]

Well that code crashed it

[cursive gazelle]

What’s the crash

[high verge]

        return {vars = {seal.config.extra.sleepypoints}}
    end,```

[cursive gazelle]

Wait let me check

It

self.config.extra.sleepypoints

Not seal

I should’ve checked instead of guessing

[high verge]

That one looks to be working let's gooooo

Now I can see if the seal is actually functioning as intended or not

[cursive gazelle]

Also just asking why’s your loc_txt like that

[high verge]

I'm building the seal with joker forge

[cursive gazelle]

Ahh i see

[high verge]

I'm planning on replacing the loc_txt with proper localization later.

[cursive gazelle]

Are you making a multi textbox

?

[high verge]

No it's just supposed to be a regular description

[cursive gazelle]

It’s gonna be pain and not worth i know you’re not going to translate your mod

[high verge]

I also know I'm not gonna translate my mod

[cursive gazelle]

Weird that jayden coded it that way
Anyways good luck

[willow scroll]

Joker forge just generates normal text box like that iirc

[high verge]

But in case anyone is insane enough to want to help out with translation, it'll be nice and ready for them to go at it.

[cursive gazelle]

Text=“text1”,text2” works fine

[high verge]

Maybe it's so it's easier to spot for people not as used to code

[cursive gazelle]

Idk i never used jokerforge he probably knows better

[high verge]

I'm surprised it didn't spit out the variable into that area, I should mention it in a bug report.

[cursive gazelle]

I think the majority just plays on english

[knotty steppe]

is there a way to swap the current played hands chips and mult

[cursive gazelle]

To split textbox you just split the strings into multiple tables

[red flower]

i think you just return swap = true

[cursive gazelle]

Text={{“text1”},{“text2”}}

[knotty steppe]

that worked thx

another question
how do i add the grey text?

[winter flower]

{C:inactive}text{}

[knotty steppe]

thankssss

[feral tree]

can i add a timer to a boss blind? every ___ seconds something happens

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

[feral tree]

how?

[cursive gazelle]

Every second is too much tho

[feral tree]

I can tune and balance the timing

I just want to know how to actually make it first

[cursive gazelle]

Love has a time function with love.update if you pass a variable for time

Like love.update(dt)

Dt will increase by 1 every second

[red flower]

you can just use G.TIMERS.REAL

[cursive gazelle]

You can also use os.clock

you can do for loop btw

[twilit tundra]

and also, how do i check for when a planet/planet-esque card is being used, that it only buffs one hand type? i dont want to proc this on black hole or cryptid’s 3-hand superplanets

[cursive gazelle]

Too much work

[cursive gazelle]

I theres a table for hands but idk if they’re ordered in the same way as ingame

[twilit tundra]

so is there no way to check for the order that shows ingame?

[cursive gazelle]

Just hang this on the fridge and come back later

[cursive gazelle]

There’s a way

I’m too lazy to read browse the wiki or read the src i’m sorry

[twilit tundra]

okay lets see whats next on the ideas list

“EVIL Hiker: 5 card hands containing ONLY cards you haven’t played before are straight flushes (see The Pillar blind?)”

oh god this one sounds even worse how do i even keep track of that
