if i wanna set Card_Character to a different joker that isnt the default joker is that possible?

[red flower]

the ui

[gilded goblet]

but for now you could focus on making it not crash in the menu

[robust depot]

well it fully works, i didnt even replace the cfg.odds yet

[gilded goblet]

cool cool, now what i'd recommend is getting out of that cfg system, you don't really need it

[clear ocean]

my best guess is that there is some sort of method i need to use to add the card or didn't set up the set correctly

[robust depot]

what was wrong with my code before? so i know for future reference

[clear ocean]

do i need to do this?

oh i see what i did wrong i think

[robust depot]

ummm i dont think this was intended

[stark viper]

trying to make a Joker that has two effects: one that gains flat mult if any of the cards in the scoring hand is a 3, 4, 2, or 8; and another that gives Xmult on the final hand of the round. However, this calculate function is doing neither of those things. hewp pwease?

[gilded goblet]

when you assign local cfg = card and card.ability and card.ability.extra you're basically telling lua to tell you if that's true or false, it's not really turning card or its other tables into a variable you could then use like cfg.odds

from my understanding

[clear ocean]

NO WAY THATS ALL IT WAS

[robust depot]

same with this

[clear ocean]

will work on the art and such later

[gilded goblet]

you are also hardcoding numerator as 1, while SMODS.get_probability_vars can already do that for you when you create two variables in one line: local numerator, denominator

[clear ocean]

since the great pyramid is the oldest world wonder i think its fitting it would be the default and since that it would be the fool of the set

[winter flower]

no need for {vars = {xmult}}
it's

return {
  xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
}

[clear ocean]

do get this error probably got the label wrong

[robust depot]

do you know why all the odds are 1/2?

like in the entire game

[sonic cedar]

do you want me to push what i have and you can look at it then

[clear ocean]

you probably accidentally hooked the probability to be set to 1 in 2

[gilded goblet]

wdym? for every card?

[robust depot]

for every possible odd

lucky cards. wheel, etc

how in tarnation did this happen

[gilded goblet]

was it like that before or after this crash fix?

[stark viper]

the effects still aren't triggering at all

[winter flower]

hold on let me

[robust depot]

only after the crash fix

Ok well it had something to do with the CFG

cause i went through and changed all them to card.ability.extra.X and it fixed it

[winter flower]

ok so your logic is a lil fucked since
doing if context.other_card:get_id() == 3 or 4
will do nothing

[gilded goblet]

i dont really understand why or how that happened but glad its sorted out now

[winter flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/06b5cc65d9085b2d6500abfbef3df06f21a5e9e3/src/jokers.lua#L752 it's best if you look here @stark viper

[robust depot]

yea im very confused too but hey it all worked out

[stark viper]

oh okay i knew there would be a vanilla joker that would help me out but i couldn't think of any until now (odd todd, fib, etc.)

i feel a little dumb lol

[gilded goblet]

if you would like i could refactor your code and add comments to explain why we opt for certain "writing behaviors" while coding

completely up to you though

[winter flower]

first time making a joker?

[stark viper]

no, but i'm still a little green 😭

it's the first time i'm making one based on ranks

i just completely forgot vanilla remade exists

[gilded goblet]

i learned the concepts in balatro modding through this: https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod

very detailed

[winter flower]

i always have vremade on standby
just in case.

[robust depot]

ok nevermind its still an issue the whole everything being 1/2

its just when i have the joker

[charred widget]

THEY DROPPED PERKEO 2????

[gilded goblet]

hmmm, mind sharing the code?

[frosty rampart]

remember back when i told you that you're using context.mod_probability wrong

you're still using it wrong

remove that whole if block

[charred widget]

Is it ok if I interject with some questions for my own coding?

or should i wait until y'all are done

[robust depot]

ok so now what

[warm umbra]

it was canio

[frosty rampart]

oh
in your retrigger joker check, the pseudorandom call has the arguments in the wrong order
it should be SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'seed', 1, odds, 'Doofed')

[winter flower]

immolate + pareidolia 🗣️

[gilded goblet]

also, in context.individual, replace that return with

return {
  Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
}

it just looks cleaner + you could then change Xmult in the config table to 2, for example, if you wanted

the config table is really handy when you want hard set variables

[stark viper]

i've tried updating the logic to reflect what I'm seeing in vremade and example mod, but it's still not updating. neither this nor the xmult, for that matter

[frosty rampart]

context.other_card doesn't exist in context.before

[umbral zodiac]

another lily spotted

[winter flower]

also you don’t need to use extra = {} in the return

[stark viper]

so is there any way to do what I wanna do, which is scale mult if any of the cards contain a certain rank?

[winter flower]

im pretty sure

[winter flower]

oh wait a second im fucking stupid nvm ignore

[stark viper]

o hi, caught me at a bad time, i'm losing my mind 💀 😭

[umbral zodiac]

thats ok and normal

[frosty rampart]

yes
set local flag = false, then do a loop for i, v in ipairs(context.full_hand) or context.scoring_hand (scoring_hand if you don't want unscored cards to count) and check each card v for the rank. if there is a rank, set flag = true. then after the loop, if flag == true, scale the card

[winter flower]

balatro modding is fun and gruesome at the same time

[umbral zodiac]

you know what

new lily nickname now

[stark viper]

i like coming up with the ideas and (often) drawing the art, but actually implementing my ideas into the program has been arduous at best 💀

[daring fern]

‎

[frosty rampart]

i try my best not to get frustrated at ppl struggling with coding because y'all are trying your best
keep up the good work ✨

[gilded goblet]

have you looked into joker forge?

ive heard good things

coding is fun though

[charred widget]

stop

turn back now

[gilded goblet]

😭

only thing im excited for is the shader stuff

[umbral zodiac]

it is better to make a mod yourself badly than to make it with jokerforge and be unable to code yourself imo

[frosty rampart]

and if you're transitioning from jokerforge to coding, referencing generated jokerforge code probably leads to bad habits

[charred widget]

jokerforge is good if you want an easy way to outline your mod, and also maybe an easy way to manage the sprites, but on the code side it's unbearable

[gilded goblet]

yea just pointing out things that could help albeit temporarily

[charred widget]

and that's coming from someone who can't code

[winter flower]

the loc_txt = {
[1]

[gilded goblet]

never actually looked at jokerforge code... is it that bad?...

[winter flower]

the blueprint code is horrendous 😭

[umbral zodiac]

jokerforge is not capable of the same nuance that a human programmer is capable of

it just combines blocks

[gilded goblet]

yeah

[umbral zodiac]

if the blocks go together weirdly its bad code

[charred widget]

:true:

[winter flower]

i have an example of the blueprint code from jokerforge but i cant go on my pc rn

[stark viper]

that's exactly what my mindset is. I wanted to learn how to make Balatro mods as an avenue through which i can explore programming. I personally get much more satisfaction out of building my mod up from scratch than relying on someone else's program that may not even work properly, and ultimately devalue the learning experience.

[gilded goblet]

hell yeah

i like that mindset

[umbral zodiac]

hi me 3 years ago when i decided to take comp sci for game development

[charred widget]

i'll admit that i'm part of the "use jokerforge > jesus christ this code is dogshit > coding on your own" pipeline

[gilded goblet]

glowup

[winter flower]

i started off on jokerforge
then eased out of it because of some more complicated jokers
now i’m making batshit insane jokers that aren’t unstable from shit code

[winter flower]

:myman:

[umbral zodiac]

back in my day (may 2025) jokerforge did not exist

[charred widget]

DAMN it's that recent?

[gilded goblet]

lmao

[stark viper]

yeah i'm pretty sure jokerforge dropped in like july lol

because i remember it was around the time i started coding my own mod

[charred widget]

i mustve caught it hella early

because when i started using it only jokers were available

[winter flower]

i think i was around before like
xchips were in jf

and when the code was really bad internally

[charred widget]

anyways i need some help coding

[stark viper]

let the good people of this server help you

[charred widget]

thank you quite much :>

[gilded goblet]

may god have mercy on your soul. /j

[charred widget]

if I wanted to count the amount of cards with a specific edition currently in my deck, how would i go about doing that?

[glass scaffold]

You can try and look at how Driver's License does it in the VanillaRemade

[charred widget]

yeah i was looking at cloud 9 as a reference but i'm not exactly getting it just yet

wait

[stark viper]

all of this is happening within the calculate function, correct?

[frosty rampart]

reference cloud 9 + the vanillaremade wiki entry for "how to get a card's specific edition"

[stark viper]

vanillaremade has a wiki!!!!

this is news to me, chat

[red flower]

yes

[glass scaffold]

WHERE!?

[frosty rampart]

yes, more specifically replacing the
if context.other_card:get_id() == ... line

[red flower]

https://github.nh6574.com/vanillaremade/wiki

[gilded goblet]

ty n'

[winter flower]

oh right i forgot about smth

yeah uh how do i make this work properly
(this doesn’t work and it crashes the game)

[vocal helm]

In context.open_booster, how can I tell if the booster I just purchased was from the shop (rather than a Tag)?

[charred widget]

i'm gonna keep it real if I want to learn ANYTHING im gonna need to get in a call with someone who knows what they're doing

or unless people keep answering my really small questions here

for some reason

[daring fern]

‎

[winter flower]

i just throw stuff together and pray to god it works

[charred widget]

well i dont because if i keep doing that i'm just gonna dig myself into a deeper and deeper pit until someone shows me the ladder that was right behind me

[vocal helm]

Wouldn't it be something like
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-if-a-card-has-a-specific-editionenhancementsealsticker

local edition_count = 0
for index, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
    -- check for foil
    if card.edition and card.edition.key == "e_foil" then
         edition_count = edition_count + 1
    end
end

[winter flower]

i mean it’s the learning process:
mistakes make you stronger

if someone tells you there’s an easier solution after making a mistake, that’s fine
you learnt about something new

[vocal helm]

-# even so, there's a difference between making a mistake and effectively finding a solution, that's why the steammodded and vanillaremake wikis exist

[charred widget]

anyways, I wanted to ask about something specific

zygarde here makes a Cell consumable when a full house is played. How can I make it so the consumable appears once the hand finishes scoring?

[daring fern]

No, it would be playing_card not card

[vocal helm]

oop, thanks for the catch

[daring fern]

‎

[rocky plaza]

hey if ur still available i can help in a call

[charred widget]

really? that would be wonderful

[gilded goblet]

i think ive figured this out ken...

[feral tree]

whats the code for replacing the title ace of spades with a specific joker?

[gilded goblet]

imma update you tomorrow

im tired asf

[feral tree]

trying to add a joker to the main menu, not working

i keep getting attempt to index field jokers over and over

[stark viper]

yeah i've completely mutilated my calculate function at this point i have no idea what's happenign

[versed swan]

How do you get a ConsumableType's localized name?

[daring fern]

Log?

[daring fern]

localize('k_'..key:lower())

[daring fern]

It's because you set the set to Joker and it tried to check for unlocks, which iterates over G.jokers.cards which doesn't exist.

[stark viper]

yeah there's just something i'm not understanding about the logic here, i may need to have this clear cut explicitly spelled out for me

[daring fern]

You have to use the key for the joker.

[maiden kindle]

Yeah that wasn’t a good time to jump in. Sry!

[feral tree]

so how do i fix it?

[daring fern]

SMODS.create_card({key = 'j_modprefix_key'})

[daring fern]

local passed = false
for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
    if v:get_id() == id then
        passed = true
    end
end
if passed then
    -- scale
end

[feral tree]

this?

[frosty rampart]

yea what something gave you is right

[stark viper]

-# this is the part of the experience where I curse my god for making me autistic

[stark viper]

okay

[daring fern]

Yes, remove rarity = 'Common'

[frosty rampart]

if you only want it to count scored cards, use context.scoring_hand instead of context.full_hand

[stark viper]

right right

[feral tree]

ATTEMPT TO INDEX FIELD JOKERS AGAIN

I AM GOING FUCKING CRAZY I SWEAR TO GOD

[shut latch]

how do i spawn a custom joker in my balatro run

i wanna test something rq

[frosty rampart]

use debugplus, hover over a joker in the collection, and press ctrl-3

[frosty rampart]

post your new code

[daring fern]

Log?

[frosty rampart]

i'm referencing entropy now, and it seems like using SMODS.create_card is just a no-go

[feral tree]

so what is?

[frosty rampart]

you'll want to do this

local newcard = Card(
  G.title_top.T.x,
  G.title_top.T.y,
  G.CARD_W,
  G.CARD_H,
  G.P_CARDS.empty,
  G.P_CENTERS.[card key goes here, no quote marks],
  { bypass_discovery_center = true }
)

so for example if you wanted the default joker to show up, you'd use G.P_CENTERS.j_joker in that second to last line

oh my god
entropy has a 1% chance to ||make the ace on the title screen freaky instead of solar||

[daring fern]

‎

[feral tree]

it works!

is it possible to get rid of the ace of spades though?

[dim rune]

Hi guys, I would like my mod to have options when creating a save file, and I have no clue how to run code on save file creation, any ideas?

[stark viper]

okay so I tried this, and it worked before i added the joker main context part of the function, i.e. the joker was scaling, but it just wasn't adding the mult to the actual score. As soon as I added the joker_main context part, all of a sudden, the scaling quit working, but the xmult would be added.

is it just not possible for me to have two different effects like this?

(tbf the xmult is rather juiced, so i'm fine cutting it from the joker if that's the case)

[daring fern]

Yes, because you didn't add the for loop.

[stark viper]

fuck wait that's the older screenshot LMFAO

hold on

nope

this one should be it

[daring fern]

Remove the card area check.

[stark viper]

oh mah lord

we're halfway there

now

how do I get the xmult to trigger only on the last played hand

[daring fern]

if G.GAME.current_round.hands_left <= 0

[stark viper]

would this be in the return function?

[daring fern]

xmult = G.GAME.current_round.hands_left <= 0 and card.ability.extra.xmult or nil

[stark viper]

ahhhh okay this is all clicking now

i was trying to do nested if statements before and it just wasn't working

[stark viper]

so if i understand this correctly, this is saying that for xmult to be returned, the number of hands remaining must be less than or equal to 0

[daring fern]

Yes.

[stark viper]

oh we gotttttt it

i levelled up today

[dim rune]

The more I'm trying to progress, the more I wonder "Why am I even trying to write a mod that doesn't just create jokers ?"

[versed swan]

what about the label used for the consumable type's button in the collection?

[daring fern]

localize('b_'..key:lower()..'_cards')

[versed swan]

thank you

[stark viper]

so curious question, why is "nil" included here?

[daring fern]

So it doesn't set xmult to false

[stark viper]

oooo icic

[versed swan]

oh wait, it doesn't work, just returns 'ERROR'

[daring fern]

It's b_ not k_

[versed swan]

sneaky edit right there haha

it works, thank you

[dim rune]

Does anyone know how I could execute functions at a given moment? I'd prefer if it's when a save file is created but since I'm just testing rn it can be a keypress or anything, I just need to see if the problem is that my code is running on game start

[dreamy lodge]

Erm, I thought you used "other_card:is_face" to check if a card was face but its not working and crashing..? It says other_card is a nill value? I confuse

[frosty rampart]

during destroy_card, context.destroy_card itself fills the role of context.other_card

[dreamy lodge]

oh so I would do context.destroy_card:is_face() then?

[frosty rampart]

yea

[dreamy lodge]

now its saying destroy card is a nil

[daring fern]

Code?

[dreamy lodge]

It was working fine before I tried to check if it was a face card

[daring fern]

You still need to check that context.destroy_card exists.

[dreamy lodge]

oh so do both context destory_card:is_face() AND it without the is_face?

I understand now

[still crescent]

my joker wont appear in the gaem

[true jasper]

please indent your code and also loc_text{ should be
loc_txt = { and also the atlas doesn't have the same key as the atlas on the joker

Also this will be very helpful
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki

[vocal helm]

is it possible for a Joker to inherit the effect of a different one when a round begins? Not in the sense of Blueprint where it just copies the effect, but i.e. the Joker randomly decides it's copying Gros Michel this turn

I'd imagine you could save the id of the joker in its loc_vars

or just call the calculate function of the chosen joker from the other

[daring fern]

#⚙・modding-general message

[vocal helm]

ah, perfect! thanks :>

[vocal helm]

Will I need to define G.modprefix_savedjokercards anywhere or is that all handled on its own

[robust marsh]

how do i make a card juice up repeatedly while a certain condition is met?

[daring fern]

No, you just have to change modprefix to your mod prefix.

[daring fern]

juice_card_until

[robust marsh]

alright, thank you

[vocal helm]

👍

[queen meadow]

is there a better way to do this
so this gives X3 mult when the hand is striped in rank (ex. hand is played like 1,3,1,3 or 5,4,5,4,5)

it gives X3 mult on the last card instead because i have no idea how to apply it at the end of hand scoring and the last card applies X9 mult if it has a red seal 💀

[daring fern]

context.joker_main is when the joker scores.

[queen meadow]

yeah but like i did that before and it didn't give the mult

[daring fern]

Yes, because you're setting it to false in every context.

[queen meadow]

wait hold on i might be stupid

[daring fern]

Yes, you would put each id in a table and check if there are only two ranks and they either have the same amount or they are one off, then you would loop through context.scoring_hand and get the first cards rank, then compare the next card with the opposite rank and do that for every card in context.scoring_hand

Then it would work for hands of any size.

[wheat jewel]

I'm trying to make a joker to where changing the volume to a specific level earns you money, but it doesn't return when i do the comparison and printing the value of the volume doesn't print anything

[vocal helm]

Sorta-probably-complicated follow-ups:

• Is there a way to have it so that the Joker sprite doesn't change? What got copied over from the copied Joker's ability that changed this?
• Given I've figured out how to use loc_vars to add a "(Currently <Joker>)" description, would it be possible to append the info box/description of the copied joker to the bottom as well?

[daring fern]

1: #⚙・modding-general message

[wheat jewel]

bump

[daring fern]

2: No, you would have to use an info_queue

[vocal helm]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local main_end = {
            {n = G.UIT.C, config = {align = "cm", padding = 0.0}, nodes = {
                {n = G.UIT.R, config = {align = "cm", padding = 0.0}, nodes = {
                        {n = G.UIT.T, config = {text = "(Currently ", colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_INACTIVE, scale = 0.32}},
                        {n = G.UIT.T, config = {text = localize { type = 'name_text', set = "Joker", key = card.ability.extra.copying_joker }, colour = G.C.FILTER, scale = 0.32}},
                        {n = G.UIT.T, config = {text = ")", colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_INACTIVE, scale = 0.32}}
                    },
                },
                }
            }
        }
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.copying_joker }, main_end = main_end }
    end

alright; would I just info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = <joker description> at the end here?

[daring fern]

Why are using main_end?

[vocal helm]

so I can constantly update this part
I don't think doing it in the normal translation files worked

(also not sure why it's 8 ball)

[daring fern]

No, it does.

[vocal helm]

it does, but only to the key, I think

[daring fern]

return {vars = {card.ability.extra.copying_joker and localize({type = 'name_text', set = "Joker", key = card.ability.extra.copying_joker}) or 'Nothing'}} and having '{C:inactive}(Currently {C:attention}#1#{C:inactive}){}' would work.

[vocal helm]

ooh

Thanks, yeah, that does work!

[vocal helm]

-- ...
local old_center_key = card.config.center_key
                card:set_ability(key, nil, 'j8mod_modeling_clay')
                card:update(0.016)
-- ...

Am I setting the ability here in the right place, or should I be doing it somewhere else? And am I using the right key

[daring fern]

No, it needs to be 'quantum'

[vocal helm]

Oh! I thought that was the name of the original joker or something, haha. Thanks

[daring fern]

That tells it to not set the sprites.

[vocal helm]

ahh, it's not on the docs, I wouldn'tve known ^^;

the info_queue thing would be the last thing I need, what should I be adding there?

[daring fern]

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS[card.ability.extra.copying_joker]

[vocal helm]

thanks!

oh wow, it even shows up like a little tooltip, that's sweet

Thank you so much! that's it for tonight from me haha

[lament agate]

[vast night]

Hey three questions:

1. What the heck is pinned? I've deactivated all mods and it's still here
2. How do i define the localization of a sticker? There's nothing on the docs
3. How do i define the stake sticker iin localization. the way it's formulated is a bit cnonfusing

[vernal path]

Pinned is a base "sticker" that is used in challenges

Sticker localization should have the name in misc.labels and description in descriptions.Other

[vast night]

fun, never heard about it

[vast night]

and with the suffix _sticker?

[vernal path]

(misc = { labels = {)

no, there is no key for stickers

so its just modkey_stickername

[vast night]

which challenge?
-# the premade jokers?

[vernal path]

the cdag one

[vast night]

last q: must the sticker be defined in this case

[vernal path]

i mean, no
you can put whatever the hell you want in localization
although you will not be able to access it in game unless you define the sticker

[vast night]

wait does that mean stake stickers and joker stickers are defined the same way or what

[vernal path]

i have no clue about that, look in vanillaremade

[daring fern]

No, those are stakes.

[vast night]

yea but the stake sticker that gets applied

onee you win

[daring fern]

Yes, they come from stakes.

[zenith agate]

isaac we love you

[plucky berry]

guys I want to make a mod inspired by Neapolitan cards and culture, is anyone interested in the project?

[red cradle]

Why this work in joker code and didnt work in blind code, just copy the code from one of my joker

[red flower]

chip_text is not a number

[wispy falcon]

It even says that it is a string...

[red cradle]

but why it work in joker code

or I'm confusing something...

[red flower]

maybe sometimes it is set to a number and you haven't tested a case where it's not

[red cradle]

ok, just add tostring() and it work

[red flower]

weird

[cyan lagoon]

heya, anyone good with joker display?

[gleaming crescent]

How do I make my sticker not appear on a judgement-created joker?

[north stone]

if context.setting_blind and [BLIND TYPE IS BOSS] then
how would i do something like this

[manic rune]

@red flower

[cursive gazelle]

😭

[manic rune]

check context.blind

[north stone]

ty

[cursive gazelle]

Wait doesn’t judgment created cards not have stickers

[north stone]

so like context.blind == "Boss"?

[manic rune]

nop

idk what context.blind has rn though so you want to print it out and check lol

-# or wait until someone that knows about it answers idk

[gleaming crescent]

I guess it's something like context.blind:get_type() == "Boss"

[north stone]

ty

is there a way i can see like the code for the vanilla jokers

[cyan lagoon]

[north stone]

that is insanely useful ty

[cursive gazelle]

There’s also a wiki

You should read it

First

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki

[gleaming crescent]

Pls help me, SMODS wiki is awful

Do I really have to analyze it's source code?

[cursive gazelle]

I have no idea

[gleaming crescent]

Oh, it was simple

[cursive gazelle]

I thought they spawn without it

[gleaming crescent]

Yes they are, unless you're adding your own sticker

[cursive gazelle]

Ahh

Was it a sticker parameter?

[jolly shadow]

context.blind.boss

[north stone]

yeah i figured it out dw

if i wanted to make a 1 off consumable that isnt in any particular set how should i go about that

[cursive gazelle]

Smods.Consumeabletype

I think

[daring fern]

No, it's SMODS.ConsumableType

[cursive gazelle]

I know it had to be uppercase i’m just lazy

And no. e ?

[red flower]

whats up

[cyan lagoon]

i need to change the color of the xmult thingy

like X:color

[red flower]

border_colour

[cyan lagoon]

and i need check the size of the full hand instead of the scoring

[red flower]

JokerDisplay.current_hand

this is all on the wiki :3

[cyan lagoon]

so i need to get the length of that?

[red flower]

yeah

[cyan lagoon]

thanks

[round lion]

is there any tools to help with atlas making or updating

[robust marsh]

You kinda just have to make the image yourself

[red flower]

i use this to merge sprites but idk if there's a use case for anyone other than me https://www.finalparsec.com/tools/sprite_sheet_maker

[robust marsh]

that's a nice tool

it's very useful

[strong terrace]

tried to make a joker that randomizes all mult given by jokers, but if i try it in game it doesn't work. did i missed something?

[daring fern]

Yes, mult isn't always located at card.ability.mult

[north stone]

how can i add custom consumable set to this menu?

[red flower]

SMODS.ConsumeableType

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType#api-documentation-smodsconsumabletype

[robust marsh]

i think it's Consumable in this instance

[north stone]

thats what i did its not appearing

[daring fern]

Code?

[north stone]

    key = 'slop_shit',
    default = 'c_slop_calling_card',
    primary_colour = G.C.SET.Tarot,
    secondary_colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Tarot,
    collection_rows = {5, 6},
    shop_rate = 0
}```

[red flower]

no thats for a single instance

[robust marsh]

ah

I see

no like

i meant the spelling

SMODS.ConsumableType

[red flower]

oh did i mispell it

funny

[robust marsh]

thunk effect

[red flower]

do you have debugplus

[north stone]

yeah

[red flower]

what happens if you eval G.P_CENTER_POOLS.slop_shit

[daring fern]

No, consumable types don't have mod prefixes.

[red flower]

true

[robust marsh]

slop shit

[red flower]

or even better eval SMODS.ConsumableTypes

[north stone]

the mod is called slop and i wanted to create a random 1 off consumable item so i just made a type called random shit

[north stone]

lemme check

[robust marsh]

i fw it

[north stone]

where do i put that sorry im kinda new

[red flower]

open the console with /

[north stone]

ah ok

[still crescent]

still not appearing

[red flower]

whats the problem

[manic rune]

its path, not paths

and its atlas, not Atlas lmao

[red flower]

if you scroll up does yours appear

[north stone]

it doesnt seem toi be showing up

no

[red flower]

then its not registered

[north stone]

ohhh

[red flower]

check if the file is loaded correctly

[north stone]

how

[still crescent]

i tried making a custom joker but it wont appear on the collection

[manic rune]

^^

and make sure you have a metadata file thats set up correctly too

[red flower]

uhh idk i dont have your code

[still crescent]

what is a metadata

[north stone]

oh right

[manic rune]

a .json file in your mod folder

[north stone]

i dont think its loading

how do i load it

[manic rune]

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

assert(SMODS.load_file("file path in here"))() <-- if your code is not in the main file

[north stone]

ok thanks

[manic rune]

you could also set up an auto file loader in your main file if you dont really care about the order of files loading

[north stone]

ahh yes its all working now thank you

[daring fern]

‎

[robust marsh]

how can you make a jiggle faster

talking about juice_card_until

[cursive gazelle]

Play with values

[robust marsh]

hmm

[cursive gazelle]

Hmmmmm

[spark owl]

my ass is struggling man

losing a bit of my mind

[rocky osprey]

        c_sp_j1407b = {
            name = "J1407b",
            text = {
        '(' .. tostring(G.GAME.hands["sp_plateau"].level) .. ') Level up', 
        '{C:attention}Plateau{}',
        '{C:blue}+25{} Chips and',
        '{C:red}+4{} Mult'
            }
        }

guys i'm trying to change the level text and the color also has to be dynamic too idk

[violet oasis]

I don't think "Consumables" is a proper set

Try changing it to "Tarot" for testing

Also

[spark owl]

oh

ok

[violet oasis]

you set your key for tags as "alt_tex_rhfull_rh_tags" but called it as "alt_tex_rhfull_rh_tag" at the bottom

it's missing the s

That's the cause of the crash, at least

[still crescent]

i am supossed to do this? @manic rune

[manic rune]

remove the comments and see if its still red

but also, remove the dependencies

you dont need it

[spark owl]

okay

[manic rune]

conflicts too

and provides

[spark owl]

lets see

[manic rune]

remove dump_loc too

[spark owl]

okay yea no

wait

Oh yea i forgot

to change the name

[red flower]

there's a template for copying just below that one 😭

[spark owl]

im fucking stupid

okay

NOW

surely

nope

TAGS AGAIN?

[violet oasis]

Post the code again

[spark owl]

i also probably have to edit the default LUA and rename the

no wait i dont have to rename the tarots

[violet oasis]

When I mentioned renaming it to Tarot, I meant just the set. You could have kept the key and filename the same

[spark owl]

oh

[violet oasis]

I assume you changed it to rh_tarot.png but didn't change the actual file name

[spark owl]

i did

it still crashed

im renaming it back to consumables

[violet oasis]

Do that and post the crash and code if it crashes again

[spark owl]

lets see\

crash

[still crescent]

like tis?

[violet oasis]

And the code?

[spark owl]

I should not be doing this with an empty stomach

here's TWO of them [because i think it might just be both of them at this point]

[violet oasis]

Comment the localization = true line for now, test without it

Once you can load in and it stops crashing, you can check the localization

[spark owl]

so turn off the Localization on the tags>

?

got it

[violet oasis]

On all of them

[spark owl]

Okay

Let’s see

it

works

oh my god

o

this looks really fucking goofy tho

wait

😭

ima be real

This looks so goofy to me

im not even that pissed

[spark owl]

so

uh

now what

@violet oasis

[violet oasis]

I'm at work rn so it might take a bit for me to answer

[cursive gazelle]

Use display_size

[spark owl]

Where do I put that in the code

[cursive gazelle]

Joker definition

I think you have the wrong px and py tho

[spark owl]

Oh

[cursive gazelle]

In the atlas

[spark owl]

I have to double it

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

Depending on what you have

[spark owl]

Since my dumbass drew in 2x

[cursive gazelle]

Yeah double it and try

[spark owl]

So
Have it at 282 and 380?

[cursive gazelle]

Is that double 71x95?

[spark owl]

No

[cursive gazelle]

Then why are you asking

[spark owl]

So I already doubled it

💔

[cursive gazelle]

What

[violet oasis]

You have to add the px and py parameters inside AltTexture with the new Joker size

[spark owl]

I made it 142x190
When it was originally 71x95 yea?

[stiff locust]

but you drew it in 2x so it was originally double size and you need to half it

[violet oasis]

No, you gotta keep it double

[stiff locust]

i'm very confused

[tired otter]

Hey um i know i asked this already but why does it show the highlighted thing?
My joker is meant to spawn ANY Joker, not just Jimbo

[violet oasis]

I think if you add px = 142 and py = 190 inside AltTexture, it should work

[robust marsh]

nil in nil 💡

[tired otter]

i didn't code that yet 💔

[spark owl]

Wait a damn second

It’s…

[rotund sable]

You probably add a infoqueue for it?

[spark owl]

Why is my jokers

[tired otter]

idk what that is-

[spark owl]

138x186

What

[tired otter]

i'm not good at coding :(

[rotund sable]

It's the thing you highlighted

You specify it in loc_vars

[tired otter]

i didn't add that while i coded it tho?

lemme check

is it somewhere around here??

[manic rune]

info_queue is literally right there...

[rotund sable]

😭

[tired otter]

oh my god

i'm a cretin

holy FUCK

😭

[robust marsh]

"did i clean everything?"

while everything around you is covered in mud and mold

[tired otter]

aight i fixed it :D

[north stone]

yo could anyone put this error into english pls 😭 it happens when i try to open the shop

i can send full error if anyone needs

it may be because i have shop rate set to 0 on a card

but how can i made it not appear

if thats the issue

[spark owl]

Ok

I took a shower sorry

[manic rune]

wtf is with this gap

[shut latch]

two questions:

1. how do i let the shop spawn multiple copies of a joker from a certain rarity (think showman but for one rarity only)
2. how do i destroy all copies of a single joker

[manic rune]

theres, no padding

[daring fern]

1: Hook SMODS.showman and check if G.P_CENTERS[card_key].rarity is the rarity you want.
2: SMODS.destroy_cards(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key'))

[shut latch]

where do i hook smods.showman to?

[wooden nexus]

Speed? ATK?

[long sun]

in G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted, what tells the hand cardarea to draw to hand?

i'd like to patch that and change the number of cards drawn

[red flower]

there's a context for that

[long sun]

omgomgomg i should've asked for that first :D!!

there seems to be a context for almost anything now

what is it?

[manic rune]

welcome to bsr

[red flower]

context.drawing_cards

check serpent in vanillaremade

[long sun]

👍 :D

[cursive gazelle]

What’s the mod that adds a clock that can be dragged ?

[long sun]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1343505857870172210

iirc

@red flower how can i check if the cards were drawn because of a discard, and how can i see how many cards were discarded?

[daring fern]

You would set a flag in context.pre_discard, and context.full_hand

[long sun]

👍

[hidden notch]

I need a context.card_added but before the Card applies it's Abilities;
For Example if I add the Drunkard Joker,
I want to do something before Drunkard gives me +1 Discard...
I could patch some stuff in but I wanna ask for better Ideas first, so;
Any good Ideas? x3

[cursive gazelle]

Drunkard gives +1 discard immediately because it’s add_to_deck and not a calculate function

[hidden notch]

Yeah yeah I know, the Goal is a Context that goes before that

[cursive gazelle]

You can check for bought

[slim ferry]

context.set_ability is a thing now i think? idk what thats called on currently though

[hidden notch]

I tried that, thinking it would work but... Alas, doesn't work for bought Jokers, Spawned in Jokers or Jokers from Packs x3

[cursive gazelle]

Ah i see

I think you’d need to calculate it unless there’s something I don’t know about which can be the case

[red flower]

i just make it myself

<@&1133519078540185692>

[sturdy compass]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[gilded goblet]

mr bearst

[long sun]

i keep trying to ping but it keeps giving me other members in the server 😭

[slim ferry]

just type @ mods and then space

[red flower]

just type @mods

[long sun]

oh i see

cheers ^u^

oh ya, why is this always drawing 2 cards?

[daring fern]

It's called when a card is changed or created.

[hidden notch]

Is that implying that I should make something myself or that you are working on something yourself? x3

[daring fern]

Firstly, you can't store cards in cards.

[red flower]

that you should make it yourself

[long sun]

ah

[slim ferry]

because youre setting the cards to draw to a value instead of increasing it

[long sun]

not the problem, i'm checking if it'd draw less than 2

[strong terrace]

this error shows up when in the joker collection i go to the page where my jokers are. Why it does this?

[long sun]

i'll try setting the number of cards, instead of the cards themselves

[slim ferry]

the atlas youre using for your joker doesnt exist

what does the code look like

[long sun]

working! thanks!

[slim ferry]

do you have an atlas called Joker in your mod?

also youre supposed to replace modprefix with your actual mod prefix

[frosty rampart]

i wonder if there's a mod out there somewhere that has the actual prefix "modprefix"

[slim ferry]

also <card>.edition = "Polychrome" doesnt work, card.edition is a table

[strong terrace]

i didn't put the whole code that's the rest

[slim ferry]

do played_card:set_edition("e_polychrome")

[slim ferry]

thats not relevant to the atlas

and doesnt answer my question

[thorn basin]

I tried to instance my blind in Balatro but this error message appears, does anyone know why?

[cursive gazelle]

Line 40

[daring fern]

Remove return true and return false

Also card doesn't exist.

[thorn basin]

to make it exist should I set the variable to card = G.playing_cards?

[daring fern]

No, you would replace it with context.debuff_card

[thorn basin]

The thing that was giving me error was the loc_vars thing.
Now the game doesn't crash but the blind doesn't disable the cards of the corresponding random chosen rank

how can I fix this?

[daring fern]

card.base.rank doesn't exist, also I meant you would store the value in the table of G.GAME.blind.effect

[hollow horizon]

Hi! Why does my blind doesn't work as intended? It should destroy 1 random card after each played hand:

    name = "juzian",
    key = "juzian",
    atlas = "blinds_juzian",
    pos = { y = 0 },
    dollars = 10,
    mult = 2.5,
    boss = { min = 1 },
    boss_colour = HEX('5b8561'),

    calculate = function(self, context)
        if context.after then
            if G.play and #G.play.cards > 0 then
                local idx = pseudorandom("juzian", 1, #G.play.cards)
                local card = G.play.cards[idx]

                if card then
                    if card.ability.name == "Glass Card" then
                        card:shatter()
                        return {sound = 'misiek_niom'}
                    else
                        card:start_dissolve()
                        return {sound = 'misiek_niom'}
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end,
}```

[thorn basin]

the boss blind still doesn't debuff the chosen rank

[daring fern]

You didn't change anything I told you to change.

[thorn basin]

I'm kinda confused rn

[real crown]

Is there a way to force eternal sticker on lower stakes?
I've been sitting here for a while not understanding why the eternal sticker is not working for add_card(), but now I have a strong suspicion it's because the new deck I'm creating only has access to white stake for now

[red flower]

i think add_card always adds the sticker as long as the joker is compatible, how are you doing it

[real crown]

SMODS.add_card{set = "Joker", key = "j_princess", stickers = {"eternal"}, edition = "e_negative"}

And on the Joker I have:
eternal_compat = true,

[red flower]

hmmm try force_stickers = {"eternal"}?

does "j_princess" work also

because its missing the prefix

[real crown]

force_stickers still doesn't work
I do have a negative princess joker spawning

[red flower]

can i see the whole deck code

[real crown]

I only started modding very recently, so it most likely won't be pretty

  name = "Princess Deck",
  key  = "princess",
  pos  = {x = 0, y = 0},
  config = { princess = true},
  atlas = 'SlayThePrincess',

  loc_txt = {
    name = "Princess Deck",
    text = {
      "Start with {C:red}level 0{} {C:attention}poker hands{} and",
      "a {C:dark_edition}Negative{} {C:attention}Eternal{} {C:purple}The Princess{}."
    },
  },

  apply = function(self)
  G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        if G.jokers then
           SMODS.add_card{set = "Joker", key = "j_princess", force_stickers = {"eternal"}, edition = "e_negative"}
        end
      return true
    end
  }))

  for poker_hand_key, _ in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
      SMODS.smart_level_up_hand(nil, poker_hand_key, true, -1)
    end
  end
}

------------JOKERS---------------------
SMODS.Joker{
  key = "princess",
  pool = "joker",
  blueprint_compat = true,
  rarity = 1,
  cost = 5,
  pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
  eternal_compat = true,
  unlocked = true,
  discovered = true,
  atlas = 'SlayThePrincess',
  config = { extra = { mult = 0} },
  loc_txt = {
    name = "The Princess",
    text = { "{C:red}+1 Mult{} for each {C:attention}Queen{}",
             "in your {C:attention}full deck{}" }
  },
  in_pool = function(self, args)
    return args.source ~= 'stp'
  end,
  
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
  end,
  
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then
      local queens = 0
      for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards or {}) do
        if playing_card:get_id() == 12 then queens = queens + 1 end
      end
      return { mult = queens}
    end
  end,
}```

[daring fern]

stickers = {"eternal"}, force_stickers = true?

[real crown]

Thank you, that fixed it!

[thorn basin]

I even removed the card.base.rank but still the boss blind won't debuff the cards.
I don't get if there has to be something with the G.GAME.blind effect or something else...

[wheat jewel]

If i want to change a rank in chronological order without it being random, what do I change about this method?

------------MOD CODE END----------------------

[daring fern]

G.GAME.blind.effect.rank, and you can't store cards in the save file, also you would do return {debuff = true} in context.debuff_card

[pastel kernel]

can i use this?

if context.other_card:is_suit("Spades") or context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") then

[daring fern]

Yes.

[pastel kernel]

sorry, i meant to share this

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if context.other_card:is_suit("Spades") or context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") then

[daring fern]

Still yes.

[jaunty sigil]

basically it should: create a negative copy of its self WHEN blind selected (which plays a lil audio :D) and add +10 to mult. But still nothing works :C

[daring fern]

_init doesn't exist.

[jaunty sigil]

wait wha

so that was the problem all along? 😭

[pastel kernel]

_innitbruv

[jaunty sigil]

with what should I replace it with? Sorry if I ask too many questions. Is that LUA isnt so easy 😭

[ocean sinew]

init = function

[jaunty sigil]

ooh oke thanks

[daring fern]

No.

[jaunty sigil]

ah

[ocean sinew]

apply?

add_to_deck

[daring fern]

No.

[jaunty sigil]

wait, then what should I use? :C

[ocean sinew]

ohhh

[pastel kernel]

Uhh

[ocean sinew]

if context.setting_blind

[daring fern]

calculate

[ocean sinew]

calculate = function(self,card,context)

if context.setting_blind then

[wintry solar]

What tutorial did you follow?

[jaunty sigil]

ooh oke

[pastel kernel]

if you wanna make it give a negative copy of itself

[jaunty sigil]

like this?:
calculate = function(self,card,context)
if context.setting_blind then
-- This event listener creates a new instance of the joker when a Blind is selected.
self.s_select_blind_hook = function(blind)
-- This checks to make sure the blind isn't a boss blind.
if not blind.boss and G.jokers then
-- Use a timer to add the card with a small delay.
SMODS.Timer.create(0.1, function()
local new_joker = G.jokers:add_card('xmpl_idiot', nil, nil, nil, {card_mod = 'k_negative'})
if new_joker then
G.FUNCTIONS.play_sfx('xmpl.idiot_sound', 1)
end
end

[pastel kernel]

Use SMODS.add_card

[jaunty sigil]

ah

[wintry solar]

Is this AI generated?

[jaunty sigil]

sad to admit but some things cause IDK coding T-T

[cursive gazelle]

What’s SMODS.timer

Self explanatory

[pastel kernel]

key = “j_yourmodprefix_yourjokerkey”, edition = “e_negative”

[ocean sinew]

You can't talk about it in this chat

[wintry solar]

Yes and AI doesn’t know anything at all about writing balatro mods

[jaunty sigil]

ah.

[wintry solar]

It does you more harm than it solves

[ocean sinew]

Btw just ignore the topic cuz read pinned message

[daring fern]

Almost everything here is wrong.

[ocean sinew]

If you keep talking bt it you'll get in trouble

[wintry solar]

So much of your code is just things that don’t exist

[pastel kernel]

Just read vremade

[jaunty sigil]

ooh sorry

[wintry solar]

Like, AT ALL

[pastel kernel]

Try reading jokers with similar abilities

[ocean sinew]

It's alright they didn't put that in #📜・modding-rules yet

they should though

so everyone knows that

[jaunty sigil]

is there a joker with those abilities T-T

[thorn basin]

so like this then?

[ocean sinew]

there's a joker with similar one

[jaunty sigil]

ooh cool! what is it? :D

[ocean sinew]

the one that creates a tarot card

cartomancer

[jaunty sigil]

oooohh

[wintry solar]

I would look at a combination of perkeo and invisible joker

[pastel kernel]

Cartomancer has setting blind context

[jaunty sigil]

oke :D

[jaunty sigil]

oke :D

[wintry solar]

And actually read the code to understand what they are doing

[jaunty sigil]

too many things T-T

[pastel kernel]

look

all you need to know is

[wintry solar]

Mindlessly copying stuff is a terrible way to learn how things work

[pastel kernel]

it's basically building blocks

[jaunty sigil]

oh oke

[jaunty sigil]

like scratch?

[pastel kernel]

no

[jaunty sigil]

a

oh wait

i read it wrong

😭

[pastel kernel]

i mean there's jokerforge but that's kinda lame

look

if you know what pieces to fit in

then it's as easy as drawing

[daring fern]

No, you would set it to card:get_id(), also you would check context.debuff_card:get_id() == G.GAME.blind.effect.rank

[tender pond]

Hello

[jaunty sigil]

mh

[tender pond]

Please give me deck ideas

[jaunty sigil]

so basically is just trying to understand 😭

imma try ig

[pastel kernel]

if you want references, i suggest you install vanilla remade

[tender pond]

give me deck ideas please

[pastel kernel]

try copying the most basic joker in the game: joker

[jaunty sigil]

oooh oke

[tender pond]

no

[pastel kernel]

Jimbo Deck - start with a random vanilla joker

[jaunty sigil]

but, ig imma try to use the one someone suggested which is joker forge cause I think its easier cause I spent the entire day to try to make this mod 😭

[tender pond]

copy cavenid

[pastel kernel]

that wasn't for u

[tender pond]

oh

[hollow horizon]

Hi! Does anyone have an idea how to make blind destroy random card from played hand each time? I think I've tried everything and it doesn't want to work

[tender pond]

but copy cavendish

[thorn basin]

hold up, what exactly should I set to card:get_id()?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.blind.effect.rank

[thorn basin]

aight

[thorn basin]

but card doesn't exist?

so it gives me error

[daring fern]

Yes, I'm referring to the random card.

[jaunty sigil]

how do I make this work T-T (i cant find the + mult nor the create a negative copy when blind selected)

yes, I am trying joker forge cause I find it easy ig

[thorn basin]

so something like this should work?

it should get the id and then check if the cards of the full deck correspond to that id and then debuff them, right?

[north stone]

something in this code is causing an error can someone point it out to me pls it happens whenever i open the shop

SMODS.ConsumableType {
    key = 'slop_shit',
    default = 'c_slop_calling_card',
    primary_colour = G.C.SET.Tarot,
    secondary_colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Tarot,
    collection_rows = {1, 1},
    shop_rate = 0,
}

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

        name = "Calling Card",
        text = {

        }
    },
    atlas = "consumables",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    use = function(self, card)
        print("Using Calling Card")
    end,
    can_use = function(self, card, context)
        return context.blind.boss
    end
}```

[jaunty sigil]

okay nvm I found all

[tender pond]

done

[pastel kernel]

Did you also draw the sprite

[tender pond]

for?

[pastel kernel]

Jimbo deck

[tender pond]

oh the deck

nope

[pastel kernel]

Bruhhhhhhh

[daring fern]

Perhaps.

[pastel kernel]

Hey guys, I forgot how to display “upgrade”

You know? For when a joker upgrades something?

[daring fern]

return {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')}

[tender pond]

I might use a default deck

erratic maybe

but change the colours to jimbo's

[thorn basin]

sadly still nothing, I played a hand to see if the effect would trigger but nothing

[wheat jewel]

bump

[jaunty sigil]

chat I need help :C

[pastel kernel]

How about when canio or sum shows the current XMult

[jaunty sigil]

so uhh. this is now the script but it still crashes the game T-T (i am going insane btw)

[north stone]

bro put that in `'s please

put that in a code block

[vast night]

put that in a code block

aslo

[jaunty sigil]

huh?

[jaunty sigil]

oke

[vast night]

you should switch to the new format

of meta

[jaunty sigil]

but how-

[jaunty sigil]

huh?

[slim ferry]

  like this

[jaunty sigil]

ooh but i dont have the thing

[vast night]

steammodded has a new version of defining mods

[jaunty sigil]

i have the italian keyboard

so it doesnt show the button

[vast night]

just copy the ```

[jaunty sigil]

wdym?

[jaunty sigil]

oke

[jaunty sigil]

edited

[vast night]

in the new version you have a folder with mod.json like this

{
    "id": "reddit",
    "name": "Reddit Bonanza",
    "author": ["ItsGraphax", "mindoftony", "The_Neto06"],
    "description": "Adds loads of Joker concepts provided by redditors to Balatro",
    "prefix": "reddit",
    "main_file": "main.lua",
    "priority": 0,
    "badge_colour": "ff4b08",
    "badge_text_colour": "ffffff",
    "display_name": "Reddit Bonanza",
    "version": "1.3.23.1",
    "dependencies": [

        "Lovely (>=0.6)"
    ],
    "dump_loc": false
}

which loads main.lua

i feel like i'm missing something pretty obvious. can someone help me? I'm trying to flip the joker when the sticker is applied, and unflip it once removed

    apply = function(self, card, val)
        print(card.facing)
        if card.facing == 'front' and val then
            card:flip()
        end
        card.ability[self.key] = val
    end

[pastel kernel]

I should really make the sprite for my mod badge

Or mod log I guess

[vast night]

what's the crash

[vast night]

?

gtg

[pastel kernel]

I already have a mod in the works but I haven’t made the logo/badge for it

[red flower]

what does it do

[tender pond]

wtf

why do yuo have to do this to me

[tender pond]

I just wanted to play modded

i don't want to get good joker

[red flower]

it shouid be atlas = 'jokers' instead of atlas = 'joker.png'

[jaunty sigil]

oooh okay I get it now :D

like this?

[pastel kernel]

jokers.png

For path

[jaunty sigil]

ooh oke

[pastel kernel]

the path is the directory of your sprite

What the joker looks like

[red flower]

no the path is fine, i meant in the joker

[jaunty sigil]

wait imma send the .png

[pastel kernel]

Oh

[jaunty sigil]

i had in mind to make even another one but not now

[pastel kernel]

then atlas is the key of SMODS.Atlas

[red flower]

im saying you're correct

[jaunty sigil]

this atlas?

[tender pond]

deck idea:
Rainbow deck:
All cards are polychrome

[red flower]

yes

[tender pond]

is this good idea

[jaunty sigil]

okay thanks :D

[slim ferry]

can i make local variables in my localization file if i want to reuse a single bit of text a bunch of times or will the game kill me if i do anything other than returning

[red flower]

you can

this is my localization file lol

[pastel kernel]

So the XMult upgrade message is instead emplaced into the cards, how do I make the XMult upgrade message stick to the joker

[red flower]

message_card = card?

[ocean sinew]

WeightedElement:new_process("create_card",function (t,args)
    local requires = t.requires or true
    print("creating card?")
    if requires then
    print("info:",inspect(t.info))
    local created_card = SMODS.create_card(t.info)
    local emplace_at = t.info.emplace_at
    emplace_at=loadstring("return "..emplace_at)()
    print("create passed?")
    emplace_at:emplace(created_card)
    print("emplaced?")
    created_card:add_to_deck()
    print("added?")
    end
end)

edition: e_negative
set: Tarot```

why this gives stack overflow? With Cryptid mod enabled

[pastel kernel]

 calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if context.other_card:is_suit("Spades") or context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") then
                card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.xmultmod
                return {
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult } },
            }
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
        return {
            x_mult = card.ability.extra.xmult,
            sound = "busterb_explode"
        }
    end

this is what my code looks like

[red flower]

yeah add message_card = card to the return

[jaunty sigil]

i made a monster. it adds mults BASED on how many max slots D:

[pastel kernel]

message_card right under message?

[tender pond]

stencil?

[ocean sinew]

why this give stack overflow

and only with Cryptid too

[jaunty sigil]

wha?

its the "You are an idiot!" virus thing, yk the reference?

[vast night]

the sticker flips the joker while applied :)

[tender pond]

no I mean isn't that just stencil

[red flower]

no i mean what does it do currently, does the print do something

[vast night]

it prints the facing of the card, yes

mb

[red flower]

but it doesn't flip?

[vast night]

[jaunty sigil]

ah

[tender pond]

jimbo deck white stake done

[red flower]

weird. have you tried an event

[vast night]

ps: the cards play a flipping animation, but don't flip

[tender pond]

guys can I have any deck ideas

[vast night]

brainstorming session

[tender pond]

what

[red flower]

can you share the full sticker code, so i can try it

[vast night]

does it have to do with the card being unflipped while being revealed in the shop?

[vast night]

SMODS.Sticker {
    key = 'flipped',
    rate = 1.0,
    needs_enable_flag = false,
    apply = function(self, card, val)
        print(card.facing)
        if card.facing == 'front' and val then
            card:flip()
        end
        card.ability[self.key] = val
    end
}

forgor the code block

[red flower]

probably

the game unflips cards most of the time

[tender pond]

oh I got an idea:
Random deck:
All cards in this deck are randomised
Start with 5 random jokers

[vast night]

should i overwrite the shop code? or what is your guess

gtg again

[red flower]

you will need to hook card:flip to do this effect anyway so I would just do that

[north stone]

how would i go about giving the player a custom consumable

like from a joker

[tender pond]

like perkeo?

oh nvm

like cartomancer?

[north stone]

ye

but not random

[tender pond]

lmao

<@&1133519078540185692>

[north stone]

what got deleted i didnt se

[karmic creek]

spam

[tender pond]

this is fun

[north stone]

^

i just need it to give the player 1 specific custom consumable item

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({key = 'c_modprefix_key'})

[north stone]

thanks

[jaunty sigil]

I got like, 1250 of these jokers now. I am in hell. (i even have jimball as a friend :D)

[north stone]

how can i make it so it doesnt go over the limit?

[obtuse silo]

this does not destroy cards for some reason
i've tried with guaranteed odds

[red flower]

local variables are not saved betwen calculate calls

so in between context.before and context.after destroycards becomes empty again

[rotund sable]

G.jokers and #G.jokers.cards < G.jokers.config.card_limit

Should work

Wait there was a buffer

[daring fern]

if #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit

[north stone]

Tyyyy

[obtuse silo]

had a feeling
do i need to create the list in the card's config?

[jaunty sigil]

my joker is becoming a menace to society.

[red flower]

it's not a good idea to save cards in the ability table
it's better to give the cards a flag

[jaunty sigil]

how can I make my joker more lethal to the round making it look like a good joker but it isnt?

[rotund sable]

Game design 🔥

[jaunty sigil]

wdym?

should I make a tarrot that removes all of "you are an idiot" cards called "antivirus"? 😭

[obtuse silo]

thing is
i don't really know what you mean or how to do that
cuz the list thing pretty much does exactly that only it stores the card

[red flower]

val.my_destroy_flag_or_something = true

then you check that in context.after

[still cedar]

How to make calculation for joker, which interacts with probability? For example, like joker "Opps al 6s"

Holding the boss reroll tag and going into the shop activates it too early and rerolls the small blind (this only works on the small blind, nowhere else). Any way to delay its activation? Idk if this is just an existing bug because you're not supposed to be holding this tag while in a shop in the first place.

[daring fern]

Do you have a seal, enhancement, or edition in your deck?

[daring scroll]

Just checked. Only spawns if there's an enhanced, sealed, or editioned card in deck. Thanks

[still cedar]

Thanks

[obtuse silo]

this still doesn't destroy any cards even when i guarantee the odds

[red flower]

oh this is always false

[daring fern]

Yes, booleans are not present in context.scoring_hand

[obtuse silo]

to be honest it would look neater if i just checked if a card was steel or gold and then wrapped it all in a not gate

apparently that reformat fixed it

but one more test should do it

YEP IT WORKS

[slim ferry]

does defining a can_use function override the automatic max_highlighted functionality?

[hollow horizon]

Hey hey hey,
How do I make the blind background a custom image instead of those default colorful swirls?

[real crown]

Is there a way to make Stone Cards considered Queens?
Closest I think is Pareidolia, but from a technical perspective that seems different, as there's just a bool for face cards, while ranks have an ID that's not registered because of stone cards

[slim ferry]

not currently

well actually

since stone cards dont have a base rank you probably could just hook card:get_id

but since the current function for checking ranks returns a number rather than there being smth like an is_rank function to hook its fairly limited what you can do in terms of quantum ranks

[real crown]

I see, thank you for the info! Then I'll think up something else

[daring fern]

Yes.

[vocal helm]

How would I make it so that a Joker's description changes based on whether or not the player currently has it in their Joker slots?
Ex. this is how it'd look in the collection/shop:

+1 Chips
(...?)

And this is how it'd look in your jokers:

+1 Chips and
the top card of your deck is a 2 of Spades

(if it's a loc_vars thing, I don't know how to do it; I have the functionality down though)

[jolly shadow]

Replace the 2nd line of the description text with a single loc_vars variable

like,

-- in your loc_txt or localization
text = {
  "{C:chips}+#1#{} Chips",
  "#2#" -- optionally add a color variable
}

-- then in your loc_vars...
loc_vars = function(self, info, card)
  local description = condition and "description" or "(...?)";

  return { vars = { 
    card.ability.extra.chips, 
    description 
    } 
  }
end

[vocal helm]

thanks!

[round lion]

calling G.FUNCS.quit would be funny

[slim ferry]

os.shutdown() :troll

[cursive gazelle]

os.remove(“/system32”)

[rotund sable]

love.system.vibrate() sounds fun but sadly it does nothing on pc

Currently this will only work on Android and iOS devices that have a built-in vibration motor.

[tight hull]

Hi, whats the key for decks texture?

[jolly shadow]

does anyone know if its possible to force-select a card within a booster pack? like, a tarot card that you're forced to take

[cursive gazelle]

Does this work if you have a plugged it controller

[rotund sable]

not sure

don't have a controller on me

[cursive gazelle]

You can add it to deck and force skip booster

[slim ferry]

os.execute :troll

[jolly shadow]

i want it to force highlight, like with cerulean bell

[cursive gazelle]

You can highlight

Idk how you would select tho

[slim ferry]

isnt highlighting and selecting the same

wdym

[cursive gazelle]

Selecting a card in booster pack

And highlighting it are different

[slim ferry]

well yeah but

if its force highlighted you might as well be forced to select it right

[cursive gazelle]

You can probably

[vocal helm]

as a follow-up, can that description have text formatting? my attempt at doing so just results in the full text being displayed

[cursive gazelle]

Idk how

[jolly shadow]

You put the formatting in the loc_txt before the #2#

If you need the color to change, look into the text styling wiki page

Has docs on variable colors

[rotund sable]

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

[vocal helm]

right, but the text itself might have different formatting
the (...) would be all gray, but if I'm doing Ace of Diamonds I'd like to have it be the "{C:attention}Ace{C:inactive} of {C:suit}Diamonds{}

[vocal helm]

oop, I missed that, I'll look more into it

[cursive gazelle]

“{C:attention} Ace of #2#”

Or whatever variable you have

[rotund sable]

nice quotes

[cursive gazelle]

God forbid you forget the `

[jolly shadow]

would sure be a lil more complex but you can just use more loc_vars
like, #2#{C:inactive}#3#{C:attention}#4#{C:inactive}#5#{V:1}#6#
lmao

this is the caveman approach im sure theres a better way to do it but thats my first guess

[vocal helm]

true, lmao

all things considered I could also make a new table that replaces vars

[red flower]

if the description doesnt change much then you can just use a different description key

[jolly shadow]

that is the aforementioned better way to do it

loool

[daring scroll]

Got this SMODS error when booting up the game while coding

[red flower]

your joker is missing a key

[jolly shadow]

you didnt set the key of ur joker

[daring scroll]

riiiight

coding half of the time is finding out you misspelled "joker" as "woker"

[red flower]

the woker

[jolly shadow]

this doesnt work, doesnt even highlight it
dunno what to do differently

[daring scroll]

why so queerious?
