[long sun]

ya true

thanks ^u^

[high verge]

I think I figured it out

The function name was changed

Now let's see if it actually functions

[long sun]

pun :3 hehe

[high verge]

It does not

[pastel osprey]

hear me out

bsod joker
X1 mult
Gains X1 mult at end of round
1 in 16 chance to self destruct and crash your computer

[long sun]

[eternal]

[high verge]

1. That's great.
2. I hope you can't do that.

xD

[pastel osprey]

they're telling me this is "malware" and "puts their machine at risk"

they're all full of shit 🗿

If 1 in 4 never hits what makes you think 1 in 16 would ever hit in your lifetime

[high verge]

Card please just animate

[long sun]

-# look at what phanta does :3

[crimson dune]

Why does renaming my own mod file while having Talisman causes the game to crash on startup with this oblique crash message?

[charred widget]

hello friends. I'm having a little trouble with a joker here.

Rayquaza eats stone cards, and it adds to an xmult value. However, that's not the problem. I want it to display text at the same time the cards are destroyed.

and believe it or not, I actually experimented beforehand, by putting [message = "Eaten!"] in different "return" groups

but none of them did what i wanted it to

so now i'm coming for help

[long sun]

add your message alongside the remove = true :D

[charred widget]

ah, i see

i will add your name to the special thanks message in the mod

[long sun]

nawww no need ^U^

unless u really wanna but

ya dw about it :3

[charred widget]

wait actually i tried putting it next to remove = true

but i'll try again to see how it works

yeah that's not what it does

it says "eaten!", and then a card drops

[long sun]

hmm

ya sorry, i don't know then ;u;

[charred widget]

that's alright

would there be a way to detect when the cards are about to be destroyed? maybe then, I could display the message at the same time

[steady smelt]

is there any way to change the amount of suits per page in the deck summary it's really annoying only having 4 when 5 fits well still

even if i have to hook it somewhere and add a config or smth that's fine

[daring fern]

Yes, hook Card:remove()

[charred widget]

imma keep it real boss, i dont know how to hook

[daring fern]

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

[charred widget]

ok, where/how would i implement this?

[cursive gazelle]

😭the tutorial says how

[charred widget]

wait

i'm dumb

[cursive gazelle]

Esz what’s reading

[charred widget]

are you asking what i'm reading, or what the concept of "reading" is?

[cursive gazelle]

The concept

[charred widget]

"Reading", as traditionally accepted in linguistics, is the act of comprehending and gaining information from written words

how those words are written is a product of the format the writer is using

are you going to ask me if I'm comprehending and gaining information from the words written in the tutorial or am i free to ponder it by myself

[warm umbra]

really reallyyy stupid question but how do i get the vars from loc_vars outside of the text styling stuff

[cursive gazelle]

Ha?

Wdym

[warm umbra]

like from this

[cursive gazelle]

In what context are you using them

What do you want to do

[warm umbra]

basically im just stealing the code i used to make the description accurate for the actual mult giving but i want to see if theres a way to reuse the function so that i dont make my code more inefficient than it already is

[cursive gazelle]

Buddy
You can store variables in joker config and access them as card.ability.extra.variable

[warm umbra]

ty

[cursive gazelle]

Also return them as said

[feral tree]

is it possible to change the jingle that plays when you win?

[cursive gazelle]

Sound ?

Ye

If you can find the key

[manic rune]

watdahell

[pearl sentinel]

help please

[umbral zodiac]

is there something i can hook which is ran after all centers are loaded

[cursive gazelle]

You can make your mod have a very low priority like 9999999

[red flower]

i hook SMODS.injectItems

[umbral zodiac]

yeah but the code for its main file will still be ran before all centers exist

[red flower]

no

[umbral zodiac]

that prolly works for me, ty

[cursive gazelle]

Why not tho

[red flower]

is this from a mod youre making

[red flower]

the priority doesnt matter because smods always inserts objects after

[sturdy compass]

lily what are you cooking in the pot...

[umbral zodiac]

oh this is unrelated to hotpot

[sturdy compass]

Oh lmao

[umbral zodiac]

#⚙・modding-general message

[red flower]

oh then i should have given you a good answer..

[umbral zodiac]

was that a bad answer...

[red flower]

im joking

[pearl sentinel]

no im using a mod

[umbral zodiac]

sobs

[sturdy compass]

So that was a lie /j

[red flower]

then #⚙・modding-general

[umbral zodiac]

it wouldve been true if there wasnt a critical bug in my optimizations of xp gain

[sturdy compass]

eeyouch

[umbral zodiac]

which it was still a huge optimization because it went from ~30,000 levels at once before ur game hardcrashed to being able to earn any amount at once w/o lag

like while i was testing i gained e70 levels at once and it was fine

[daring scroll]

Messing with Joker Forge and attempting to fix things in lua, but I'm stumped. Here's the card description for reference, but the Joker won't add any hands. I think it's reading discards after they're all removed, but I dunno how to make it add hands before removing discards. I tried custom variables and reading the mod variables directly, and switching around the order, but no luck.

Joker Forge blocks for reference as well

[cursive gazelle]

Cardxability ?

What

Check your calculate function

[daring scroll]

readding a variable to record the starting discards amount, then adding that to Hands

That did it. Red deck starts every round with 12 hands

[warm umbra]

ok so ive finished making my joker but since you get a lot of multi should i remove the indicator that shows how much you need (the 72 thing) or be nice

also wait i need to improve this because half the time it wont be possible

but originally it was way easier

[dreamy lodge]

Is there a better way to word this effect? It doesn't feel right but I dont know what to change

[wintry swallow]

I think this is worded clear enough ngl

[final jewel]

Is there someone good with event manager cause I have this fonction that change the seal but the seal get change before the card is flip and thats not what I want

[frosty rampart]

"1 in 2 chance to give X2 Mult and $2. Otherwise, give X0.5 Mult and -$2."
"1 in 32 chance to give X10 Mult and $20, then self destruct"
small changes but i think it helps

[daring fern]

Yes, remove nil, true on the Card:set_seals.

[final jewel]

ok I'll try that

[final jewel]

I did it and now its removing the seal before turning the card ?

[daring scroll]

Ok, mod's returning an error message on bootup. I don't understand the lua errors it's picking up, cause the references I'm using don't have symbols there and it's asking me to insert brackets in the middle of variables and functions?

[hidden mirage]

is returning remove = true only valid during discard and destroy_card?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hidden mirage]

what should i do to say remove them while being scored?

[daring fern]

Remove every , that's outside of a table.

[daring fern]

You would use context.destroy_card

[hidden mirage]

okay do i say context.destroy_card and context.individual?

[daring fern]

No, it would just be context.destroy_card

[brave blade]

Is there a more up-to-date list of all contexts than the Calculate Functions page on the wiki?

[hidden mirage]

that destroys them at the end after done scoring
is it possible to score a card, when joker gets 'triggered' remove it then go to next?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/lsp_def/utils.lua#L7-L106

[brave blade]

Ok, thank you!

Hmm... so Jokers like DNA start juicing before the first hand is played, and I need to have a Joker start juicing right before the third hand is played. What context should I use for that? I can't use hand_drawn like in DNA's code because that won't trigger if no cards are actually drawn

[daring fern]

context.press_play?

[brave blade]

I phrased that poorly, I mean I basically want it to start juicing after the second hand is completely finished scoring

[hidden mirage]

is this impossible

[daring fern]

context.hand_drawn and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 2

[brave blade]

Like I said, it doesn't seem like context.hand_drawn activates if no cards are drawn (which can happen if cards held are greater than hand size)

[daring fern]

context.after

[brave blade]

Thank you! :)

[brave blade]

Hmm... actually, that seems to trigger after the cards finish scoring, not after all the scoring finishes

[vocal helm]

since I can't find it in the docs, what's the best way to add an extra option after opening a booster pack?

like, instead of a spectral pack giving two cards, it gives three

[daring fern]

Modify G.GAME.modifiers.booster_choice_mod

[vocal helm]

thanks! :>

[glass scaffold]

Can anyone help me figure out why the new properties aren't applying? I have the required mod.

@umbral zodiac since you made the CardPronouns mod

[daring fern]

You need your mod prefix.

[umbral zodiac]

if youre on latest cardpronouns

it uses the pronouns key and not a table

so itd be "she_her" and not the table

also yeah you would need the mod prefix for the joker

[pastel osprey]

Wait what does cardpronouns actually do

I've not heard of it

[umbral zodiac]

i made it 3 hours ago so ideally you havent heard of it

[pastel osprey]

ah

[umbral zodiac]

it gives every card ingame random pronouns

[pastel osprey]

lmao

[umbral zodiac]

example

[glass scaffold]

Then it doesn't match up with that GitHub says. Just a heads up

[pastel osprey]

blueprint should copy pronouns trust

[umbral zodiac]

it does

[glass scaffold]

?????

[umbral zodiac]

shrug

i just changed it like 15 mins ago

if it doesnt update when you reload the page then something is strange

[glass scaffold]

So probs GitHub taking a sec.

Alright, updated. Thanks lily

[umbral zodiac]

for sure

[hidden mirage]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)

        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'chomper', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then

                end
            end
        end
    end

why no cards being destroyed

[glass scaffold]

So I did the changes you said aaaaand-

[umbral zodiac]

yeah i think your cardpronouns is outdated still

[vocal helm]

add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.GAME.modifiers.booster_choice_mod = G.GAME.modifiers.booster_choice_mod + card.ability.extra.booster_mod
    end,
    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.GAME.modifiers.booster_choice_mod = G.GAME.modifiers.booster_choice_mod - card.ability.extra.booster_mod
    end

added this to my joker but I'm getting a nil value error

[daring fern]

G.GAME.modifiers.booster_choice_mod = (G.GAME.modifiers.booster_choice_mod or 0) + card.ability.extra.booster_mod

[vocal helm]

ahh, appreciated! thanks!

[glass scaffold]

Just updated again. Thanks.

[hollow horizon]

Hi! How do I make a planet card for a custom poker hand that only shows up when the hand was played before?

[hidden mirage]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before then
            card.ability.extra.cards_to_chomp = {}
        end

            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'chomper', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
                table.insert(card.ability.extra.cards_to_chomp, context.other_card)
                return {
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult,
                    message = "...",
                    colour = G.C.CHANCE
                }
            else
                return { xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult }
            end
        end
        if context.destroy_card then
            for _, value in pairs(card.ability.extra.cards_to_chomp) do
                if value == context.destroying_card then
                    return { remove = true }
                end
            end
        end
        if context.remove_playing_cards then
            for _, value in pairs(card.ability.extra.cards_to_chomp) do
                if value == context.removed[0] then
                    return {
                        message = "CHOMP!",
                        colour = G.C.RED

                end
            end
        end
    end

any ideas why the chomp message isnt showing?

[daring fern]

Put softlock = true in the config.

[wintry solar]

Tables are 1-indexed in lua, not 0-indexed

[viral ember]

what

[hidden mirage]

you cant be serious

thankyou

Is there a way to call post_trigger on your own joker? I'm trying to create Hiker with a limited number of uses

i'm gonna try context.other_card == card and see if that works

[subtle merlin]

<@&1133519078540185692>

ty!

[vocal helm]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            context.other_card.ability.perma_mult = (context.other_card.ability.perma_mult or 0) + card.ability.extra.mult
            return {
                message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
        if context.post_trigger and context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.other_card == card and not context.blueprint then
            if card.ability.extra.s_count - card.ability.extra.s_mod <= 0 then
                SMODS.destroy_cards(card, nil, nil, true)
                return {
                    message = localize('k_eaten_ex'),
                    colour = G.C.MULT
                }
            else
                -- See note about SMODS Scaling Manipulation on the wiki
                card.ability.extra.s_count = card.ability.extra.s_count - card.ability.extra.s_mod
                return {
                    message = "-"..card.ability.extra.s_mod,
                    colour = G.C.MULT
                }
            end
        end
    end

this works, but the message pops up on the affected card rather than the joker itself
and I wouldn't want a random 6 or something with a little "Eaten!" popup over it x3

[subtle merlin]

couldn't you give the joker it's own variable that counts down once every trigger and doesn't let it trigger when the variable reaches 0?

[vocal helm]

that's what I'm doing, I think
card.ability.extra.s_count is how many uses of the joker remain

[unborn bay]

return an additional message_card parameter with the value set to your card

[vocal helm]

ahhhh i forgot that existed for a sec, oops! thanks

[unborn bay]

return {
    -- additional return keys ... etc
    message_card = card
}

yep

[vocal helm]

a demonstration

it's 4:30 am i should be asleep x3

[hollow horizon]

Does anyone know what just happened? From what I can understand (and I understand that poorly) the game wanted to add edition to the planet card (??)

[subtle merlin]

You can add editions to planet cards, so that isn't inherently the issue

[thorn basin]

@red flower sorry for the late response but this is what I tried to do with my custom tag:
basically like the uncommon Tag does, it makes a Scienceful (this is not a rarity but an objectType) Joker appear in the shop for free.
The result is that it makes it appear but as a separate entity, I can move it freely but not buy it and it shouldn't do that...
Also it kind of messes up with the vanilla tags:

[faint yacht]

...why are you redefining Tag:apply_to_run?

[daring fern]

Yes, because you're overwriting Tag:apply_to_run so other tags will always do that.

[thorn basin]

oh, I shall remove that function

[daring fern]

apply = function(self, tag, context)
    if context.type == 'store_joker_create' then
        local card = SMODS.create_card {
            set = "Scienceful",
            area = context.area,
        }
        create_shop_card_ui(card, 'Joker', context.area)
        card.states.visible = false
        tag:yep('+', G.C.GREEN, function()
            card:start_materialize()
            card.ability.couponed = true
            card:set_cost()
            return true
        end)
        tag.triggered = true
        return card
    end
end

[thorn basin]

oh wait, so the apply function kinda works like the calculate function of a joker?!

I still have to re-read the Tags part of the doc cuz it kinda confused me

[daring fern]

Yes, but it has different contexts.

[thorn basin]

oh thank you Somthingcom

now it works

[robust marsh]

I have a set of jokers that I wish to hold in a different collection page within this area

Is there a way to do this?

[wintry solar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-functions#modcustom_collection_tabs

There are some other helper functions somewhere

[viral ember]

        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                    if v.base.rank == 'A' then
                        v:set_ability('m_gold', true)
                    end
                end
                return true
            end
        }))
    end```
I always forget what the rank id is for aces lol

[hollow horizon]

14

How would I make custom suits not appear from the beginning of the round and enable them through consumable?

[hidden mirage]

how to incorporate other scripts than main.lua?

[hollow horizon]

assert them in main

[slim ferry]

assert(SMODS.load_file("<path (relative to current file)>")()

[hollow horizon]

I mean I already have the way to enable them... The thing is they're enabled from the beginning. Is there some way to run certain code at the start of every new run?

[daring fern]

v.base.rank doesn't exist.

[viral ember]

v is a card

right

card.base.rank?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

No, it would be card:get_id() == 14

[faint yacht]

Define SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals(run_start) and check for run_start being true. Additionally, suits have in_pool(self, args), with args.initial_deck being true when the deck is being generated.

[viral ember]

oh alr thanks!

[thorn basin]

how can I check if there are jokers with editions in the joker slots kinda how abstract does?
I tried putting the function that gets the editionless ones and modified it but it then gave me error.
so I left it like this:

[slim ferry]

loop over G.jokers.cards, and check each one if they have card.edition

[daring fern]

SMODS.Edition:get_edition_cards(G.jokers)

[robust marsh]

alrighty

[thorn basin]

to the local variable or to the G.jokers inside the return?

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[thorn basin]

like abstract gives Mult for each joker in the jokers slots, I wanna do that this joker I'm making, gives Mult for each joker with an Edition in the joker slots.

[daring fern]

Then it would be in the return.

[thorn basin]

The problem is, I tried like this but then it gives me this error when I hover the arrow over the joker:

(the calculate function is still wip)

[daring fern]

G.jokers and #SMODS.Edition:get_edition_cards(G.jokers) or 0

[thorn basin]

it works now, thank you!

[next timber]

how would i make a joker flip and change sprite? i know config.center.pos is used but i dont know how i'd do it by flipping

oh wait i'll check bunco's cassette

[feral tree]

What is context.cry_press?

[next timber]

i think its cryptid's context for clicking?

for cookie clicker for example

[robust marsh]

mmm is there any mod that creates a button below the joker card area?

[crisp coral]

joyousspring but that's above iirc

[robust marsh]

that could probably work as well tbh

[manic rune]

cartomancer too i think?

the one mod with "Show" "Hide" buttons above the area idk

[robust marsh]

i just checked it out that's basically what i needed

[lament agate]

how do you check if a hand only contains debuffed cards

[manic rune]

i think debuffed cards have card.debuff set to true

[cursive gazelle]

Card.debuff

[zealous glen]

Isn’t there a utility function for that? Or was it to set the debuff status?

[lament agate]

this

[manic rune]

SMODS.debuff_card? its for debuffing cards

if you want to check whether a card is debuffed or not you should be checking card.debuff

[cursive gazelle]

If the amount of debuffed cards == #G.play.cards

Or scoring cards

[lament agate]

if card.debuff == true then

?

[manic rune]

just if card.debuff then will work too

[cursive gazelle]

Card refer to the joker .

You would do other card for that

[manic rune]

just iterate through the card table lmao

[cursive gazelle]

Or a for loop

[manic rune]

but yeah, change card with whatever card ur checking

[cursive gazelle]

Btw i told him how to do it yesterday

[lament agate]

i still dont get it

[cursive gazelle]

Card references the joker

[manic rune]

thats checking for if the joker is debuffed...

[lament agate]

oh

fuck me

[zealous glen]

It’s a bit confusing since it doesn’t use self to refer to the Joker itself

[cursive gazelle]

Bro been modding forever

And doesn’t know

[lament agate]

i have no clue how to do this

[cursive gazelle]

😭it’s so simple

[zealous glen]

The played cards are generally accessible via a context

[cursive gazelle]

Bepis just give bro the code

I’m on my phone

[lament agate]

like what s said

[cursive gazelle]

Cut to the chase

[zealous glen]

You can take a look at some vanilla effects

Or N’’s vanilla remade mod

[lament agate]

i tried

[cursive gazelle]

Context.individual doesn’t trigger effect for debuffed cards from my knowing

[lament agate]

theres no Joker that messes with debuffed cards

[zealous glen]

I meant for the for loop

There’s a few that do

[wintry solar]

Nxkoo you know how to loop through the played cards right?

Just change the internal stuff there to return

[lament agate]

this?

[zealous glen]

Clever but I don’t know if context.scoring_hand is what you want

I thought you wanted the played hand

[lament agate]

so what should i do

[cursive gazelle]

If context.before then
Local debuffedcards=5
For _,v in iprais(G.play) do
If v.debuff then
Debuffedcards=debuffedcards+1
End
End
If debuffedcards==#G.play then
Return
End

On phone btw

[lament agate]

oh g.play

smart

hold on

[wispy falcon]

Quick question: What counts as a mechanic for the tag in https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209506514763522108 ?

[zealous glen]

It depends on the timing

[wintry solar]

It depends on what the effect is for what you’d use

[zealous glen]

But also I think there’s a context for the full, played hand

[lament agate]

this sucks

its for hotpot

i cant leak it

😭

[cursive gazelle]

I thought you surrendered

[lament agate]

i DO

[cursive gazelle]

Something new introduced to the game

[zealous glen]

Or overwriting something existing

[zealous glen]

Matador 2

[lament agate]

its for something else

dont worry

but is it correct

[zealous glen]

I mean it’s hard to say without knowing what you want to do

[cursive gazelle]

Stupid

[lament agate]

FUCK

[cursive gazelle]

Why are you breaking

[zealous glen]

The timing (context) depends on the actual effect

[cursive gazelle]

Ns why did you set it to 5

[lament agate]

because the example said so

[zealous glen]

The rest of the logic doesn’t need the full effect, but it needs some description of the effect as a map

[lament agate]

my heart breaks

[cursive gazelle]

You know what break does

[lament agate]

yes

i deleted it

my bad

[zealous glen]

Heartbreak from Victin’s Collection?

[cursive gazelle]

Set the local variable to 0

Not 5

[zealous glen]

I thought the original implementation with break was smart

You presumably don’t need an integer counter

So just a Boolean and a break would suffice

[lament agate]

so do i delete the break or

[cursive gazelle]

Depends on if you want 1 card to be debuffed or to check if all are

[zealous glen]

If your question is: “do all elements of a table have a property?”, you can answer it by setting the answer to true then iteratively checking each element and breaking when you find one without

[lament agate]

all

[zealous glen]

Setting the answer to false before breaking of course

[lament agate]

i see

[cursive gazelle]

You don’t need a flag

Just do number of debuff == size of table

[zealous glen]

They don’t need a number though

[lament agate]

so debuffs == #G.play then

[zealous glen]

If they want to check, they just need a Boolean

[cursive gazelle]

It depends on what you want to do

[lament agate]

checks if all played cards are debuffed

thats it

[zealous glen]

They said they wanted to check if all cards were debuffed or not

[cursive gazelle]

Then do what i said

And remove the not in the if statement

[zealous glen]

This was pretty good

[cursive gazelle]

Smart but

Too smart for niko

[zealous glen]

Did you see who posted it

[lament agate]

yes he mean it

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

I’m amazed

[lament agate]

HOW ABOUT THIS NOW

is it good

[cursive gazelle]

Remove the not

[zealous glen]

I think the code I had indicated was almost good enough

Anyways, I think s is overcomplicating but also I don’t think having too many cooks is helpful

[lament agate]

it crashes before it

[cursive gazelle]

This counts non debuffed cards

[zealous glen]

So I’ll let s handle it despite thinking they’re making it harder than it needs to be ;P

[cursive gazelle]

You need to do context.joker_main or something

Depends on the effect

[cursive gazelle]

Not really i just think this is easier to understand

[zealous glen]

I disagree mainly because their previous code was shorter and close to functional AFAIK

So you told them to do something completely different for no reason

Which is harder to understand than the code they had already written and was close to working

[lament agate]

can you just tell me which one is working

it took me a day to write this joker

[zealous glen]

I think this excerpt does what you want except for looking at scoring cards instead of played cards

[lament agate]

it crashes tho

[zealous glen]

I can’t tell if the code around it works

[lament agate]

can i dm you of it instead

[zealous glen]

But just that excerpt makes sense to me

[zealous glen]

Sure

[robust marsh]

I have a question. If the joker card area is hidden and contains jokers within it, can it still score after you hide it (with states.visible = false)?

[keen atlas]

does lovely has an easy way to identify where the mod is located at instead of having to loop through mod folders?

[manic rune]

yes

[robust marsh]

great, thank you

[robust marsh]

my head hurts, im trying to make two card areas and both work fine on their own but once i try to put them together they follow each other and the positioning goes to shit

[thorn basin]

Question: why does the game not check if a joker in the joker slots has an edition?

[wintry solar]

that function checks a card area, not a card

[thorn basin]

oh, then what is the function that checks the single card's edition?

[wintry solar]

card.edition

[thorn basin]

oh right

[robust marsh]

how could i make a card area score before the joker area? Right now it scores after all of the jokers finish scoring

[wintry solar]

inject it before the joker area

[robust marsh]

how would I do that? Sorry if it's a really vague question

[wintry solar]

how are you currently adding your area?

[robust marsh]

local start_run_reflocust = Game.start_run
function Game:start_run(args)
    if not self.locust_area then
        self.locust_area = CardArea(
            0, 0,
            self.CARD_W * 4.9,
            self.CARD_H * 0.9,
            { card_limit = 5, type = "jokers", highlight_limit = 1 }
        )
    end
    G.locust_area = self.locust_area
    start_run_reflocust(self, args)

    if not self.locust_ui then
        self.locust_ui = UIBox {
            definition = {
                n = G.UIT.ROOT,
                config = { align = 'cm', r = 0.1, colour = G.C.CLEAR, padding = 0.2 },
                nodes = {
                    { n = G.UIT.O, config = { object = self.locust_area, draw_layer = 1 } }
                }
            },
            config = { align = 'cmi', offset = { x = 0, y = 0 }, major = self.jokers, bond = 'Weak' }
        }
        G.locust_ui = self.locust_ui
    end

    if G.jokers and G.jokers.config and G.jokers.config.type then
        self.locust_area.config.type = G.jokers.config.type
    end

[wintry solar]

I mean to calculation

[robust marsh]

are you asking how I'm making it score or

[wintry solar]

yes

[robust marsh]

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = '=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'
pattern = "-- TARGET: add your own CardAreas for joker evaluation"
position = 'before'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
if G.pactive_area then table.insert(t, G.pactive_area) end
if G.locust_area then table.insert(t, G.locust_area) end
'''

[wintry solar]

okay, so you want to change where in the table you insert it so it's before the joker area

[robust marsh]

that worked, thank you a lot !!!!!

[slim ferry]

does card.config.center.config contain the base ability values of a card, or are there things that affect this table too

[red flower]

they should contain the base values

[next timber]

may be stupid but how do i make a joker just give +1 hand or discard at scoring for just that round?

[red flower]

ease_discard and ease_hands_played

[violet oasis]

Is there a way to remove a card's base chips value with an enhancement while still keeping the suit and rank? I tried replace_base_card = true, but it also removes the suit and rank.

Not remove permanently, just while the enhancement is there

[loud summit]

is rarity 1 uncommon or common

[slim ferry]

common

[loud summit]

thx

are jokers eternal and perishable compatible if not specified?

[slim ferry]

yes

they are compatible with all stickers by default

[loud summit]

oh

[slim ferry]

you can configure any sticker's compatibility on a joker (including modded) with <key>_compat

[slim ferry]

does everything inside of a center definition get copied into the object's G.P_CENTERS entry, or just the pre-existing parameters?

[red flower]

everything

[frosty rampart]

except rental I think

[slim ferry]

nope

rental is also a sticker which has a key and therefore you can also do that

[lament agate]

vars already defined in loc_vars but it shows nil in game

nvm

[cursive gazelle]

i feel sorry for ruby

[slim ferry]

😭

[lament agate]

we already have dramas about me not too long ago

dont worry

the prayers has been answered

[cursive gazelle]

good luck

[lament agate]

i shouldnt be joining eiher way

[hollow horizon]

How do I get poker hand's level? Like in planet cards descriptions there's [lvl. 1] and text after

[long sun]

after drawing from play to hand, the drawn card flips over and becomes unselectable

i know vaguely why this is happening, the game's still trying to draw it to discard

but, why?

and how can i fix this?

[wispy falcon]

You use G.GAME.hands["Poker Hand Name"].level

[long sun]

[be careful, as Talisman can break with that]

[rotund sable]

Will break that

[pastel osprey]

Wait are you able to index a map this way in lua

That's sick

[hollow horizon]

And how do I implement that in text? Do i just:
desc = '['..G.GAME.hands["Poker Hand Name"].level ..']lvl AND TEXT AFTER'?

I guess not

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/planets.lua

[wispy falcon]

Why does this happen? I've set unlocked and discovered true and it uses the right atlas

    key = "animation",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0},
    atlas = "animation",
    unlocked = true,
    dicovered = true,
    no_collection = true,

    update = function (self, card, dt)
        card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({ x = math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL * 10) % 50, y = 0 })
    end,

    in_pool = function(self, args)
        return false
    end
}```

-# Sorry for the wall

[red flower]

it says dicovered

[hollow horizon]

ooooh in vars... yeah that makes sense

thanks

[robust marsh]

I have a uh.. problem.. I made a separate card area for another set of jokers and I added a Swap button for ease of use so you can manage both areas whenever you want. This works perfectly fine but when I try to play another deck and THEN the deck with this double card area function the area just flips to to the other side when i press the button and idk how to get around this.

[wispy falcon]

It's always them damn typing errors TwT

[red flower]

whats the code

i have this thing in my mod too

[long sun]

[pastel osprey]

[plain apex]

theres sticker:apply but is there sticker:remove im trying to make a hook that does something when a specific sticker is removed but its not working

[red flower]

did you try without the if not self.locust_area check

[robust marsh]

no, i'll do that right now

[frosty rampart]

sticker:apply(card, true) adds it, switching the true to false removes it afaik

[robust marsh]

that seems to have fixed it funnily enough

i feel a bit dumb now but i suppose it's a learning experience

i spent hours trying to get it to work

[vocal helm]

Where would I put SMODS.debuff_card in the context of a Joker preventing specific kinds of cards from being disabled? I have two separate jokers that would provide immunity from debuffs:

• one that prevents Jacks and 8s from being debuffed
• one that prevents cards already played that Ante from being debuffed, reverse Pillar style
  I'm not sure if this is an add_to_deck kinda scenario since I haven't yet worked with debuffing cards

[robust marsh]

ALSO THANK YOU A LOT

[wispy falcon]

What number is 'In a round/game' in G.STATE?

[red flower]

please use G.STATES["state name"] not numbers

you probably want G.STAGE for that tho

[wispy falcon]

Okay, why though?

[red flower]

magic numbers are harder to read than enums

and if they ever change it can break

[wispy falcon]

Okay, thank you :3

[chrome widget]

What is the sandbox stage?

[red flower]

ive seen a couple of functions related to it but no idea honestly

[wispy falcon]

How would I use it in an if statement?

[slim ferry]

literally the exact same but with that in place of a number

[red flower]

G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN is what you want

[wispy falcon]

And how would I change this?

        if G.STATE == 11 then
            return 6
        end
    end```

Because changing `G.STATE == 11` to `G.STATES == G.STATES.MENU` or `G.STAGES == G.STAGES.MAIN_MENU` doesn't work

[rotund sable]

G.STATES != G.STATE

[red flower]

G.STAGE == G.STAGES.MAIN_MENU

[wispy falcon]

Thanks once again

[next timber]

i hope i meant x1.1 mult because otherwise there is no reason to get this

i like this more

[robust marsh]

i love card areas

using my consumable (when its in the custom card area) entirely skips booster packs as if you pressed the skip button

this is torture

[next timber]

chat is this a good rare

[modern kindle]

but i use numbers sometimes

[robust marsh]

depends on what payout entails. Does it count jokers/interest or is it just blind payout

[vocal helm]

Bumping this, also curious how I could get the current Blind's skip Tag

(G.GAME.round_resets.blind_tags.Small or G.GAME.round_resets.blind_tags.Big just give me a Voucher Tag each time)

[red flower]

we hate numbers here

[slim ferry]

im pretty sure you can return prevent_debuff = true in context.debuff_card

[robust marsh]

@red flower sorry to bother you again but is there a way to make a card area straight up just act like a consumable area but not get registered as one

[vocal helm]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.other_card ~= nil then
            if (context.other_card.base.value == "8" or context.other_card.base.value == "Jack") then
                if context.debuff_card then
                    return {
                        prevent_debuff = true
                    }
                end
            end
        end
        return nil, true

tried this, doesn't seem to be working

[slim ferry]

hmm

try context.other_card:get_id() == 8 or context.other_card:get_id() == 11 instead maybe?

idk if that would change it

[vocal helm]

checking

[red flower]

no idea, but a lot of things are hardcoded to look for G.consumeables specifically sadly so you would probably need to patch/hook those functions

[gaunt folio]

what localization do i need to fix here?

this is what i have bc im def not doing it right

[vocal helm]

skipping or entering a blind now makes the game straight-up close lol

[slim ferry]

wtf

send the lovely log

[slim ferry]

oh it just closes during launch?

wierd

[vocal helm]

it wasn't even during launch, the game ran fine before i tried going into a blind

I think the issue might be my implementation because I'm also trying to use quantum enhancements alongside it

[slim ferry]

oh yeah

with quantum enhancements you need to be VERY careful with what you do outside of context checks

i would just move the context.debuff_card check to the outside

[vocal helm]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.other_card ~= nil then
            if (context.other_card.base.value == "8" or context.other_card.base.value == "Jack") then
                if context.check_enhancement then
                    return {
                        m_wild = true,
                        m_gold = true,
                        m_steel = true
                    }
                end
            end
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 8 or context.other_card:get_id() == 11 then
                if context.debuff_card then
                    return {
                        prevent_debuff = true
                    }
                end
            end
        end
        return nil, true
    end

this implementation still causes an auto-quit though I'm not really sure how else i'd do it
I'm guessing that initial context.other_card ~= nil prob wouldn't work in this order

[slim ferry]

context.other_card ~= nil doesnt change anything here since it exists in both of those contexts anyway

actually try removing the return nil, true at the end maybe

[gaunt folio]

how do i fix this? the label shows up on the individual cards

[slim ferry]

you need a label in misc.labels

[vocal helm]

o7
should I return anything at all or nah?

[slim ferry]

well in the contexts you do have to return for the effects

but returning nil, true at the end doesnt do anything

[vocal helm]

ah, yeah, i just mean at the end

[slim ferry]

yeah at the end you shouldnt return

[gaunt folio]

thx

this is what it looks like, but ill try'

[vocal helm]

doesn't crash now, but Jacks and 8s are still debuffed
isn't there somewhere I'd have to put recalculate_debuffs or something like that

[gaunt folio]

kw ill fix that

nvm got it

[slim ferry]

im not entirely sure but that might fix it

[robust marsh]

unfortunate, ty regardless

i'm trying to make it function like a consumable slot purely because I seem to be running into a few issues all the time, one of them being the fact that all consumables upon use just cancel out the booster pack

[gaunt folio]

the label shows up on the cards fine (placeholder stuff for now), how do i make the UI button say anything but "ERROR"

[slim ferry]

since youre using loc_txt it would be collection = <text>

[gaunt folio]

👍

aight it works thx

[next timber]

sorry i had to go eat, just blind payout

[frigid niche]

i have a question how could i go about changing these numbers in probabilities with a joker?

[slim ferry]

return denominator = <number> in context.mod_probability

[frigid niche]

awesome thank you

[long sun]

(bump)

[robust marsh]

Well, now I'm even more confused. Card areas suck.

When I try to use a consumable (which is in this card area) it completely skips any booster packs UNLESS you are opening the pack via tags

I think I'm just not going deep enough into it but yea this is whacky. Not only that but the buttons are also really scuffed for consumables in custom card areas.

[red flower]

i just remake all the buttons for my custom areas

[robust marsh]

i don't really know how to do that unfortunately which is a shame

[rotund sable]

new day, new mind, old error (after 30min i still have no idea why this happens)

[zealous glen]

What do you mean that it skips?

[robust marsh]

It's basically as if you skipped the booster pack

it gets closed even if you never chose anything

it weirds me out that this only happens in a shop

[azure laurel]

how i check if a glass card gets destroyed?

[red flower]

by its own ability?

[robust marsh]

isn't it something like removed_card.shattered

[azure laurel]

any way but also including that

[slim ferry]

have you checked vanillaremade glass joker

[azure laurel]

no

[red flower]

loop through context.removed in context.remove_playing_cards and check if any is glass

[red flower]

card.glass_triggered

[robust marsh]

ah

alright

[red flower]

but it only check its own ability

[robust marsh]

the consumable itself works perfectly fine if it's operating under the G.consumeables area

[cursive gazelle]

the swap reminds me of something oddly familiar

[robust marsh]

what exactly

[azure laurel]

like SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_glass')?

[robust marsh]

i use it to swap between locusts and jokers so they arent clumped together

ofc both jokers and locusts will do their thing no matter what, it's just a visual thing to reduce clutter

[red flower]

yes, but it doesnt have context.other_card

[azure laurel]

ok thanks

[azure laurel]

if context.remove_playing_cards and SMODS.has_enhancement('m_glass') then ?

[red flower]

no, you need to iterate through context.removed

[wide chasm]

yo uh im not really finding a way to fix this?

its not displaying the amount for some reason

[azure laurel]

like if context removed playing card the
if smods has enhancaments(glass)

[slim ferry]

what does your localization file/loc_txt look like, and what does your loc_vars look like

[wide chasm]

i dont really know wtf that means 😭

[azure laurel]

can i see the code?

[wide chasm]

not that good at modding, are those like files i should have in my mod or smth?

[wide chasm]

suree

[slim ferry]

theyre parameters on your joker

[slim ferry]

old metadata header jumpscare wtf

[wide chasm]

oh is it outdated

lmao

[slim ferry]

okay why is this file so fucked up

[frosty rampart]

it still works technically but it's deprecated, highly recommended to switch to using a separate json file for metadata

[wide chasm]

yeah we kinda started making this a year ago and gave up on it

and im coming back to fix the mess but

[slim ferry]

have you been looking at vanillaremade as reference for your jokers

[wide chasm]

i believe so?

[slim ferry]

also the issue with your description is that you dont have a loc_vars function defined on the joker at all

which is whats supposed to be used to pass variables into the description

[azure laurel]

i swear that error is a thing that happens the fisrt time and then you wont suffer again

[wide chasm]

i did see a template on github but idk if its vanillaremade

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/VanillaRemade.lua

also the wiki of this is really useful too

[wide chasm]

alright

so i should remake the mod basically

but look into that wiki

[slim ferry]

probably yeah

also the actual code is literally all of vanilla remade with smods so thats a really useful reference

[wide chasm]

alr tysm

ill see what i can do w this

[scenic steeple]

If I wanted to set my custom joker cards in a specific order in the joker collection, how would I do that?

[slim ferry]

change the order of the joker definitions in your mod files/the order in which individual files load

[modern kindle]

I wish we could just place an order value on where it goes numerically
Instead of it being by load

[red cradle]

why message still classic orange, while i have this in my code?

[sonic cedar]

bump from yesterday

[sonic cedar]

you gotta identify it when it's a diff file iirc

[red cradle]

how?

[sonic cedar]

i have this at the top of my file whenever i wanna use the color

[slim ferry]

because G.C is a different table than G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS

[red cradle]

but it works in localize file

[obtuse silo]

this code causes the skin to show up as blank.
I have a feeling that it might have something to do with the positioning

[sonic cedar]

this too

[red cradle]

fair

[obtuse silo]

code in question

[red cradle]

thx

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.DeckSkin

the default position of any Jack/Queen/King is way off to the right at x = 10 or so

[obtuse silo]

i see

so what would i do if i wanted a specific y co-ord but wanted to do pos_style 'ranks'?

[frosty rampart]

i think 'ranks' expects you to have a different atlas for each suit

if you go to the link there's also a way to set pos_style to a table, which lets you set each card's position individually

it's a bit tedious but it'll let you keep your atlas as-is

[obtuse silo]

so how would I write the syntax for that?

Because the wiki just has the thing down as [rank]

Would i just list each rank in a brace?

[frosty rampart]

i havent messed with it but my guess is

pos_style = {
  ["Jack"] = { atlas = (insert atlas here), pos = { x = 0, y = 1 } },
  ["Queen"] = ...
  ...
}

[obtuse silo]

alright i'll try that

[obtuse silo]

getting this warning from vsc and it's concerning me

[frosty rampart]

fairly sure you can ignore it

but i'll go dig into deckskin code to see what's up

[obtuse silo]

well
it does work

[frosty rampart]

yea that's just an alignment issue in your image i think

[obtuse silo]

yeah

[frosty rampart]

glad the code worked tho

[obtuse silo]

noticed it

thank youuuu
i like the susie pfp

[frosty rampart]

thanks :3

[fair osprey]

anyone got any experience with effects that upgrade a poker hand that isn't the one you are playing? Got a joker that upgrades a different poker hand every time a straight is played. It's coming up with a ton of ui problems

are there any mods that do this?

[wintry solar]

yeah that's pretty easy to do, what does your current code look like?

[fair osprey]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.before and next(context.poker_hands['Straight']) and card.ability.extra.used == false then
level_up_hand(false, Find_Most_Played_Hand('Straight'))
end

    if context.end_of_round then
        card.ability.extra.used = false
    end
end

trying to get the animation to run, but it ends up blending with the hand that's being played

adding the wrong figures to the display

[wintry solar]

okay, so you want to return some stuff instead, something like this would always upgrade a Pair, for example

return {
  level_up = 1,
  level_up_hand = 'Pair'
}```

[fair osprey]

ffs, I need to stop using other mods as a basis and just experiment with SMODS itself

ty

much appreciated

[gaunt folio]

yay balance?

placeholder for now as im basically taking some code from vanillaremade

[zealous glen]

huh weird

[sonic cedar]

why is the value nil? if i set _played to 0 if it's nil before checking for unlock will that fix it?

guess ill just nilcheck for now

[red flower]

you dont set G.GAME.hands[most-played]._played anywhere there

[quasi shard]

s

[red flower]

@cursive gazelle

[cursive gazelle]

i've been summoned

[sonic cedar]

does it not use the table?

[cursive gazelle]

hi toma

[sonic cedar]

hi s

[red flower]

_played is a local variable

[robust marsh]

yeap..

[sonic cedar]

so should i just use the regular played then

[zealous glen]

I can suggest a temporary solution, and I have to imagine someone knows a permanent one

But it's weird that happens

[red flower]

i think so

[sonic cedar]

kay ill check

[robust marsh]

I'll take anything for now really

[daring fern]

‎

[zealous glen]

see if moving the consumeable to the usual consumeable area before using it helps

and by moving I mean

just in the background

no animation

[robust marsh]

Hmmmm not sure how I could achieve this but I can try

[zealous glen]

You can see how the function that moves cards (not emplace) works

[robust marsh]

should work

[zealous glen]

I think it's something like

CardArea.draw_from

or draw_to

[sonic cedar]

thanks n

[red flower]

has seal and has edition dont exist

[daring scroll]

ahhhhh

[red flower]

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

[daring scroll]

I misread. It's card.seal and card.edition, correct?

[red flower]

yeah

also has_enhancement doesnt work like that

[modern kindle]

my only thought would be to just have it not draw with specific states or menus up or something, im not super familiar with drawstep or anythin like that though

[daring scroll]

do I need to define the enhancements to look for?

[daring fern]

Yes, I've done that, my only problem is screen shake.

[red flower]

yes, if you need to check if it has any it's different (check the link)

[sonic cedar]

are all the contexts stored in a table? if so, where is it?

[daring fern]

No.

[sonic cedar]

oh hi somecom
ill just have to make them manually then?

the table/list

[slim ferry]

pretty sure you can find all of them in the smods lsp def

[sonic cedar]

i see! thanks
was asking if they already existed as a table, but its ok ill just make it myself

[wintry solar]

what do you need a table of all the contexts for?

[sonic cedar]

something devious

[robust marsh]

I made it just turn into G.consumeables when you're opening a booster pack which is working alright, janky but i don't know how to make this work 💔

[sonic cedar]

(if it ends up working)

[wintry solar]

I don't even know what you're looking for 🤣 a lot of contexts are dynamic

[zealous glen]

I feel like Eremel would know more

about your issue

[sonic cedar]

gulp
this might be prone to crashes then lmao
only one way to find out

[slim ferry]

If you want to check if theres any context active you could probably just do smth like #context > 0, idk if thats a good idea though

[robust marsh]

I'd hope so

[sonic cedar]

i forgot to use math.floor whoops

[daring fern]

No, it would be if next(context)

[versed swan]

How do you get the information of a vanilla atlas?

nvm got it, G.ASSET_ATLAS

[sonic cedar]

ok yeah got it working
now i gotta weed out the dynamic ones so the effect actually applies lmao

unless...

[daring scroll]

Is there a quick way for me to say "every enhanced card" or do I need to have it look for every individual enhancement? As of right now, it's giving an error that it's recieving a boolean and expecting a table

if next(SMODS.has_enhancement(playing_card)) then
    enhance_count = enhance_count + 1
end

[daring fern]

next(SMODS.get_enhancements(playing_card))

[daring scroll]

I have that, it's still giving me that error

[daring fern]

No, it's get_enhancements not has_enhancement

[wind steppe]

if i have a card, how would i find out if that card is being played or held in hand?

[daring scroll]

I need to learn to fuckin read 💀

[sonic cedar]

check the cardarea

[daring scroll]

thanks lmfao

[wind steppe]

how do i do that

[sonic cedar]

well that depends actually

is this calculate

[wind steppe]

yes

but the card's not being calculated

[sonic cedar]

do context.cardarea then

G.play for being played, and G.hand for

well

being in hand

[wind steppe]

no it happens to be in calculate but im not calculating the card

its in context.money_altered

[wintry solar]

what are you trying to do

[wind steppe]

i get a random card and need to know where it is

[wintry solar]

giving the full effect is much more helpful than vague hints if you want help

[wind steppe]

get a random non-diamond card from full deck and convert it to diamonds

i need to find out if its in hand or played so i can flip it if it is

and then unflip it after the conversion

[wintry solar]

check card.area == G.play/card.area == G.hand

[sonic cedar]

so then just use card.area instead

[wind steppe]

ty

[wintry solar]

though I don't see why those areas would be different cases

[wind steppe]

g.play and g.hand are treated the same

i just need to know if you can see it mostly

[sonic cedar]

do info_queues have to use keys for their titles? or can they be titled like with a string? im not the best at them so forgive me if this is obvious

like if i wanted a tooltip that went
Current Phase:
[actual information]

[wind steppe]

do you mean for what they're accessing

[wind steppe]

you could do that yeah

youd put that in Other in the localization

[sonic cedar]

ohhhh okay

[wind steppe]

and then access it like this
info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { set = "Other", key = "para_to_big_goldseal"}

[spare atlas]

when i tried to select a deck

[wind steppe]

replace para_to_big_goldseal with your tooltip

[sonic cedar]

ok ty

[sonic cedar]

yeah lmao

        end
    end

is this a viable way of checking each tarot's number?

like this is supposed to look at the number of the hand played and correspond it to the numbers on the tarot cards

but doesnt seem to be working

[frosty dock]

where did you get context.hand_card from?

[wide chasm]

well i tried hand_card alone and it didnt work

[frosty dock]

don't you want context.other_card here

[wide chasm]

so i tried putting context. before

[frosty dock]

context.hand_card isn't a thing

[wide chasm]

oh alr

[frosty dock]

try reading the docs, it can save you some headaches haha

-# i should note that the calculation docs are vastly incomplete when it comes to newer features

[wide chasm]

u got a link to that?

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[wide chasm]

aight ty

ill check if it works

oh

uhh

its doing it on a discard?

[gusty iron]

decided to rework my 6-card selection joker, thoughts?

[frosty dock]

yeah that's what you wrote?

you have context.discard

obviously it's gonna be on discard

[wide chasm]

oh lmao

[frosty dock]

do you want it on play?

[wide chasm]

yeah i did

mustve confused them when typing it? idk

[frosty dock]

did you also want the card to get destroyed? i see a rogue remove = true but it's not the right format

[wide chasm]

not really

i think the destroyed is there cuz i was looking at the trading card code

[frosty dock]

mkay then what you should do depends a bit on what exactly you want the effect to be

if it should give the tarot when the card is scored, you should use context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual

[steady smelt]

i've added a new deckskin palette to all suits, how can I add options for that palette for each existing collab?

[wide chasm]

yeah thats what its supposed to do

[frosty dock]

yeah then replace context.discard with that

[wide chasm]

alr

[frosty dock]

-# and remove the rogue remove = true, it doesn't cause any harm in isolation but you're setting a global variable for no reason

[wide chasm]

aight

alr it works tysm dude 🙏

[frosty dock]

np

[sonic cedar]

how do you print to the lovely console again
for log checking purposes

[warm umbra]

how would i make code in a joker run every tick

[next timber]

ok im stumped, im trying to make it so that all unscored cards instead get retriggered 3 times, but i can't figure out which context i should be resetting the retrigger_targets array to {} in

[frosty rampart]

just print(string) i think
it shows up in the debugplus console at least, i assume it goes to the lovely log too but i haven't checked

[sonic cedar]

update function

[warm umbra]

ty

[sonic cedar]

yeah but i need it to go to the lovely log cause hardcrashes lmao

[frosty rampart]

oh lmao
uhhh still worth a shot, i don't see any reason why it wouldn't work in just the lovely log

[sonic cedar]

k

[lament agate]

is it possible for a voucher to play a custom sound when redeemed

[warm umbra]

how do i add money and detect how much money the player has

[frosty dock]

no. quantum ranks are fair game but that's where we draw the line

[frosty rampart]

G.GAME.dollars is how much money you have
to add money mid-round you should return dollars = (amount to add), there's a separate function to do it in the cash out screen that i don't remember the name of off the top of my head

[warm umbra]

alright ty

[wide chasm]

Xnil mult??

[manic rune]

what are you passing in loc vars

[wide chasm]

loc_vars = function(self, Xmult, xmult_gain)

[next timber]

wrong

[manic rune]

well yes thats wrong

[next timber]

it should be uhh gimme a sec

[manic rune]

can i see your joker's config

[wide chasm]

uh the config is kinda empty

that may be the issue huh

[manic rune]

does it have nothing

[wide chasm]

yep

[next timber]

loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
  return {
    vars = {
      card.ability.x_mult,
      card.ability.extra.xmult_gain
    }
  }
end

but in the vars table they should be valid values in your joker's config table

[frosty dock]

i once again ask you to read the docs before you blindly do stuff

[wide chasm]

😭

my bad gng

[next timber]

this example assumes you have

config = {
  x_mult = 1,
  extra = { xmult_gain = 0.25 }
}

[wide chasm]

alright

[next timber]

or smth like that

[next timber]

bump

[wide chasm]

other thing

wait no let me look at the docs i have learned from my mistakes

[warm umbra]

how would i add money outside of a calculate function

[daring fern]

You can't put cards in cards.

Also context.cardarea == "unscored" exists.

[next timber]

im.. not trying to put cards in cards?? wdym

[daring fern]

Yes, you are.

[next timber]

where

[next timber]

it worked for another joker that does a similar thing so idk 🤷‍♀️

but on that joker i only needed to target a single card whereas here i need to target every unscored card

[daring fern]

Do you want unscored cards to score like scoring cards?

[next timber]

yeah the effect is that unscored cards score AND are retriggered 3 times, but normal scoring cards dont retrigger, which is why im trying and failing to keep track of which ones were unscoring

[daring fern]

Then you would hook SMODS.score_card

[next timber]

i mean it also should affect debuffed cards but. ill figure this out first lol

why do i need to hook score_card

surely theres gotta be a better way to keep track of which cards were unscored

[daring fern]

No, that's how you would make them score, also you would flag them.

[next timber]

im confused

why wouldn't add_to_hand work

it works for one of my other jokers just fine

[soft forum]

good job

[daring fern]

Do you also want them to be added to the scoring hand?

[warm umbra]

how do i prevent code in an update function from running in the collection

[next timber]

nah im fine with it just working like how splash does

[daring fern]

if not G.SETTINGS.paused

[wide chasm]

i broke it 💔

[daring fern]

Then you would flag them instead of putting them in a table.

[next timber]

and how would i do that

[daring fern]

card.modprefix_unscored = true

[next timber]

yeah ok that works

thx

[daring fern]

You would also have to remove the flag.

[gusty iron]

i love adding compat with other mods

swear word warning 😨

[next timber]

so i could either patch the game so it always gives the unscored flag to unscoring cards incase i wanna use this mechanic for more jokers, orrrrr i could just set the flag to false if they're scoring and have it only work with this joker

im lazy and wanna be done with this joker. i choose option 2

[worthy flicker]

censor that word please…

[next timber]

ok so now why isn't

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
  if context.other_card.debuff then
    context.other_card.hodge_unscored = true
    card:set_debuff(false)
  end
end

doing anything

fuck

nvm im stupid i see it now

[distant junco]

if context.playing_card_added and context.other_card:get_id() == 7
would this work?

[ocean sinew]

how do you know a word is swear word?

[plush mica]

is this the place where i beg for assistance

[distant junco]

yeah

[plush mica]

everytime i play a card this happens

also talisman wont change config when i change it in-game

or maybe i just dont know how to restart the game?)

[next timber]

ok nope nevermind context.other_card:set_debuff(false) still does not work

[gusty iron]

it doesnt say "HAND WILL NOT SCORE"

[distant junco]

you should be using SMODS.debuff_card

[feral tree]

is it possible to detect if you're playing a small or big blind?

[next timber]

so, SMODS.debuff_card(context.other_card,false)?

[distant junco]

no

[next timber]

oh

[distant junco]

what are you trying to do

[next timber]

if a playing card is debuffed, undebuff it and set hodge_unscored on it to true

preferably before context.repetition is calculated

[distant junco]

im not sure if thats even possible tbh because debuffing is only called at certain points in the game but i could be wrong about that

[next timber]

wdym its only called at certain points

does context.individual not even touch debuffed cards

[distant junco]

debuffs are (afaik) only updated at the start of the round and the start of the shop

[next timber]

i can patch a custom context for that

so you dont think jokers setting debuffs is even possible

that sounds. odd

i mean clearly it must be tons of mods do it

[distant junco]

as i said i could be wrong but im pretty sure thats what i was told

[next timber]

well then why does smods even have SMODS.debuff_cards if you cant even use it. that makes no sense

im gonna investigate

[distant junco]

im not saying it doesnt work, im saying you wouldnt be able to update a debuff in the middle of a round

[next timber]

ok well i jsut did it with debugplus lmao

[distant junco]

idfk

thats what i was told

[next timber]

eval G.hand.cards[1]:set_debuff(false) worked fine for me

[ocean sinew]

that doesnt answer the question

[gusty iron]

wdym by your question

[ocean sinew]

How you know a word is swear word

[gusty iron]

if the word isnt a swear, text will say "Hand Will Not Score"

[next timber]

ok im gonna patch in a context.debuffed_individual

[distant junco]

no how the game knows its a swear word

[gusty iron]

OH

i have a pre-defined table

[ocean sinew]

what abt other languages

is it in there too

[plush mica]

pleasee speed i need this.... my balatro is kind of broken

[gusty iron]

aikoyori's letter deck is only english letters

[distant junco]

can i add some to the table

[ocean sinew]

Btw can't you just dump the swear words in a dictionary into a txt

It's easier than writing every single swear word

[distant junco]

do you have mods installed?

[gusty iron]

thats what i did

i have a table full of swearwords based off of a list i found online

[plush mica]

yea

i can launch the game but whenever i play a card

it crashes

[distant junco]

try disabling them one by one

and then reinstall the mod that crashes

[plush mica]

im fairly certain its talisman

[distant junco]

reinstall talisman then

[plush mica]

another thing to note is that talismans config doesnt let me change it in-game

btw i reinstalled it and it did the same th i9ng

[distant junco]

idk i dont use talisman

[gusty iron]

sure

[distant junco]

######## #### ###### ######## ###### #### #### ######

[gusty iron]

TRUE

should i add the brainrot "swears" into the table

like job

[distant junco]

w*man

[hallow slate]

How would I repeat discard effects?

[urban wasp]

how would i make a deck that starts the player off on a specific ante?

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[urban wasp]

hmm what did i do wrong

SMODS.Back {
    key = "glyphic",
    name = "Glyphic Deck",
    config = { ante = 0 },
    atlas = "crp_placeholder",
    pos = { x = 4, y = 2 },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue)
        return { vars = { lenient_bignum(self.config.ante) } }
    end,
    apply = function(self, back)
        G.GAME.round_resets.ante = self.config.ante
        G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante = G.GAME.round_resets.ante
    end,
    crp_credits = {
        idea = { "Glitchkat10" },
        code = { "Glitchkat10" }
    }
}

wait a minute the blinds are on ante 0

but it doesn't display ante 0 in the ui

[long sun]

currently, i'm using G.GAME.modifiers.booster_size_mod to modify the sizes of booster packs

is there a way to modify the sizes of one particular type of booster pack? (eg. Buffoon)

[daring fern]

You would take ownership of it.

[long sun]

👍

[daring scroll]

Coding a Joker that gains XMult when tarot cards are used, based on the tarot number. Does anyone know of a mod I can study the code of that'd help?

Like stuff that has effects based on different cards inside the tarot group or other groups

[red flower]

have you looked at constellation's code?

[feral tree]

is there no vanilla remade for the skip tags??

[daring scroll]

I have a base made based on that and Fortune Teller, but I want each Tarot card to give a different amount of XMult and I dunno how to approach that

Been brainstorming thru Vanilla Remade and and Mod Dev QNA

[red flower]

there is

[red flower]

you should have started with that haha
you can check the key of a consumable in context.using_consumeable with context.consumeable.config.center.key

[feral tree]

i dont see it here

[red flower]

you're probably on an old commit

check that it says main here

[feral tree]

oh

[warm umbra]

how do i replace the vanilla music tracks, i looked through the SMODS.Sound wiki but im confused

[gusty iron]

how would i access another mod's folder inside of my mod?
