[slim ferry]

this is force highlighting a booster pack in the shop

[jolly shadow]

dont know what card area to use either

[daring fern]

Yes, because forced_selection only works with G.hand, also card is the joker, also G.shop_booster is the boosters in the shop.

[jolly shadow]

couldnt find it

so thats prob why lmao

[slim ferry]

youre looking for G.pack_cards probably

[jolly shadow]

alr

how would i go abt keeping the selection forced then

[daring fern]

You would hook CardArea:remove_from_highlighted

[vocal helm]

Is there an event/easing thing I could do to make it so that my joker rotates 180 degrees when triggering?

[tall wharf]

can someone tell me why this does not work

[primal robin]

What exactly is not working

[tall wharf]

it does not do anything to cards held in hand

[primal robin]

idk

[red flower]

what does get_letter_with_pretend do

[red flower]

yeah i dont see the problem either sorry

[wintry solar]

does it work for played cards?

[tall wharf]

it does

[primal robin]

How your filter function works

[tall wharf]

the filter works

i know it works

[red flower]

does it

[tall wharf]

it does

[primal robin]

It shouldn't

[wintry solar]

and when you print cards_matching it has the hand cards in?

[red flower]

because that seems like it might cause gaps

[tall wharf]

it does

[primal robin]

You treat table as object, not array

You need to check key type and if it's a number, insert it, else set

[tall wharf]

hmmm

i think i get what n is saying

ill try something

[primal robin]

So my solution was not clear enough

[tall wharf]

no i get what you meant too

it should work tho

as in i understand the problem

[red flower]

you can probably also just use pairs on cards_matching

[primal robin]

also works

[tall wharf]

yea that's one of the solutions

yep won't be annoying at all

[errant arrow]

a?

[red flower]

i think your rarity is wrong if youre using a custom one, or one of your pools if youre using that

[rotund sable]

Calculation screen ?!?

[errant arrow]

im stupid. i put ' around 4

im still strugging on implimenting custom rarities, so im just using the vanilla legendary rarity

welp. that's that done, just gotta make the art for this section

[vast night]

oakey doakey

[vast night]

stupid question generator output: how do i set the cost of a joker? i've searched around docs and file, i've tried card.cost and card:set_cost. What do I do?

[vocal helm]

It should be card.cost, you just set it like card.cost = 2 or something

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L3897
check Egg and Gift Card

[vocal helm]

Double-checking about rotation; what value controls the base rotation of a card? I've seen card.children.floating_sprite.T.r floating around but that gets me a nil reference when putting it in an event

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        trigger = 'ease',
                        ease = "quad",
                        ease_to = card.T.r + 180,
                        ref_table = card.T,
                        ref_value = "r",
                        delay = 0.5
                    }))

(the event in question)

[vast night]

(not card.sell_cost) maybe i needa try removing the card:set_cost()

[red flower]

card:set_cost is going to reset the cost

you should use card.ability.extra_value if you can else i would recommend hooking set_cost

[vast night]

👍

also ty 4 the hook idea

[vast night]

also quick q: what is the "correct"/general way of naming modifiers? is it enable_mod_key or stake_mod_key or what?

[vocal helm]

(diagram of what I mean)

[vast night]

figured it out.
why does it say "applies gold stake" tho instead of all stakes? (i'm using loc_txt cause i'm too lazy to find out how to make text smaller

[daring fern]

‎

[jolly shadow]

applying all stakes would have to account for other mods I don't see how that could be a good thing

[slim ferry]

But applying one previous stake also applies all other stakes before that though

So its just visual

[gilded goblet]

why is this like this?

SMODS.Stake {
  atlas = "stakes",
  key = "supernova",
  pos = {x = 2, y = 0},
  applied_stakes = {"gold"},
  prefix_config = {applied_stakes = {mod = false}, unlocked_stake = {mod = false}, above_stake = {mod = false}},
  sticker_pos = {x = 3, y = 1},
  modifiers = function()
    G.GAME.modifiers.enable_supernova_in_shops = true
  end,
  colour = HEX "d8beed",
  shiny = true,
}

[jolly shadow]

not exactly, some modded stakes dont add gold stake

[shut latch]

nvm found how to hook showman
but
do i replace card_key with anything?

[jolly shadow]

so having it say "appleis gold stake" rather than "applies all previous" is good cuz who knows the stake order

[gilded goblet]

it's applying the actual sticker sprite when it should be applying the stake sticker sprite

hold on i have an idea

nvm it wont work

[gilded goblet]

okay im fucking stupid

ok nvm im still lost

[gilded goblet]

can someoen help me

[vocal helm]

got this working, had to use hooks

[red flower]

no, card_key is the argument

[gilded goblet]

i dont get it

[high verge]

if next(SMODS.find_mod("CardSleeves")) then I'm trying to use this code in my ui but it's returning a "unexpected symbol near if" error. Any clue?

I want a ui option in my config to only show if the CardSleeves mod is present

[jolly shadow]

youre not showing enough of the code

whats above it

[high verge]

Just more nodes of the config.``` {
n = G.UIT.R,
config = { align = 'cl', tooltip = {text = {localize('helluvacustomlogo_tooltip')}},},
nodes = {
{
n = G.UIT.C,
-- config = { align = 'cm'},
nodes = {
create_toggle {

ref_table = helluva_config,
ref_value = 'helluvalogo'
},
},
},
},
},

                    -- Custom Sleeves
                    if next(SMODS.find_mod("CardSleeves")) then
                    {
                        n = G.UIT.R,

                                nodes = {
                                  create_toggle {
                                    label = localize('helluvacustomsleeves'),
                                    ref_table = helluva_config,

                    },
                    end```

[jolly shadow]

you didnt close a thing

or actually

cant have an if inside of a table

[high verge]

Oh, pain

[jolly shadow]

make a table {} and set it to the actual ui if cardsleeves is present, then append that to ur ui

i think

[lament agate]

how do you check if a joker has a specific stickers

[jolly shadow]

itd be under card.ability i think
unless its a vanilla sticker i think u can just use :is_eternal etc

[frosty rampart]

^ card.ability.[sticker key] will be truthy (either true or some other value) if it has a sticker, but there's definitely a function for is_eternal (which also accounts for other cards that would like to act eternal without the sticker) and probably ones for perishable and rental

[fleet isle]

Does anyone have any idea why the first hook works completely fine but in the set_ability one the calculate_context (when its uncommented) crashes the game immediately ?

[fallow urchin]

How would I go about taking over blue seal functionality so that the first two blue seal triggers create negative planets? I've got code that converts planets to negative as they are created but despite increasing the cap of allowed planets it stops after two seals

[feral tree]

is there a context for a custom tab in SMODS.current_mod.extra_tabs?

[lament agate]

so i can just check their config for that?

[frosty rampart]

not their config, their ability table. but yea you can just check for it

[red flower]

wdym context

[feral tree]

detect when you have that tab open or not

[red flower]

not as a context no

[feral tree]

does that mean i can otherwise?

[red flower]

you can just set a global variable in the function that makes that tab

[frosty rampart]

trying to figure out how to make my custom stickers only appear on jokers from shop or boosters, to match behavior with the vanilla stickers

tried checking for the current state in should_apply but that bypasses the rate and needs_enable_flag config settings in the sticker definition

[gilded goblet]

meanwhile imover here fucking wondering why sticker_atlas doesnt work

[frosty rampart]

whatever i'll just code the rate and enable flag into should_apply

for once cryptid reference was useful (and also looking closer at vanilla code lol)

[winter flower]

why does this not work

it shows text if unbalanced mode is on but not when it's off

[feral tree]

i am doing that, need some kind of way to detect when the tab exited out of so i can make that varible false

[loud summit]

how do you get the number of jokers your mod adds

[red flower]

you need to manually loop through the pool and count them

check function modsCollectionTally

[loud summit]

pool?

[hearty crane]

but does it do anything when it’s off

[red flower]

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

[lyric maple]

is there a way to check for jokers from a specific mod?
e.g. i'm trying to make a joker that gives xmult when a joker from my mod is sold

[jolly shadow]

next(SMODS.find_card("j_prefix_key"))

i think !

[frosty rampart]

that's how to find a specific joker
given a joker, to see if it's from a specific mod, you would check [card].config.center.original_mod == SMODS.Mods["mod ID"] i'm pretty sure

[jolly shadow]

fair nuf

[lyric maple]

does this look right?

... and context.card.config.center.original_mod == SMODS.Mods["kls"] ...

[sturdy compass]

Is “kls” the mod id?

[daring fern]

‎

[lyric maple]

yes

[sturdy compass]

Then it should work

[lyric maple]

?? is it other_card???

[real crown]

config = { extra = { mult = 0, mult_mod = 5, previous_hands = {}} },
Why is previous_hands considered nil here? Isn't it an empty array?
The error I'm getting is that I was attempting to get the length of previous_hands, which yes, I was, expecting a 0

[daring fern]

Are you using card.ability.extra.previous_hands?

[real crown]

That was the issue, thank you
There were like 12 places I used it, and I forgot to add the card.ability.extra part in one of them

[thorn basin]

okay so I just discovered why my boss blind doesn't debuff a random rank each hand.
Because somehow it debuffs all the jokers in the joker slots
How can I fix this??

[daring fern]

context.debuff_card is a card, not a card area.

[thorn basin]

so what should I put instead of context.debuff_card?
what is the card area for the full deck?

wait, it's G.playing_cards?

[daring fern]

No, you're checking if context.debuff_card is not equal to G.jokers

[slim ferry]

context.cardarea == G.deck

[daring fern]

No, context.cardarea will never be G.deck in context.debuff_card in a blind.

[thorn basin]

then what should I put instead of context.debuff_card in the if condition for checking if the blind is not disabled?

[slim ferry]

not true

oh

nvm

[daring fern]

context.debuff_card.area ~= G.jokers

[thorn basin]

Aight

[thorn basin]

it still doesn't work
I'm not sure if the game actually receivies the id of the card to debuff

or if the boss blind actually debuffs

[daring fern]

Have you played a hand?

[thorn basin]

yeah, but still nothing

[slim ferry]

i dont think the game recalculates debuffs after each hand

gotta do that manually

[daring fern]

No, the blind doesn't set the rank until a hand has been played.

[slim ferry]

yes

that too

but it wont update the debuffs properly after the hand currently

[thorn basin]

yeah

[lament agate]

hey something, can you help me rq

[thorn basin]

in the return?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

No, after you set G.GAME.blind.effect.rank

[lament agate]

What do i write if i want to check if Jokers in the player's slot has a custom sticker

[daring fern]

if card.ability.modprefix_key

[lament agate]

i see, so if i want to check if Jokers doesnt have that sticker, i could just if not card.ability.modprefix_key ?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

thanks

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
    blind:debuff_card(v, true)
end

[thorn basin]

It works now!
thank you so much!

[real crown]

Is there a tool/editor worth using, or is notepad++ just as good as any other editor?
I've just been using that, and I do wish there were suggestions on what context I have if I type context. , but I don't know if any editor has that ability, as everything's in different folders and I don't know if there's any linkage

[daring fern]

VSCode

[slim ferry]

vscode is really good

its actually made for coding shit

[real crown]

Thank you!
I only have visual studio, I'll get vscode too then

[lament agate]

does the game store what boss blinds has been disabled in the game or do i need to make a local function for it

[daring fern]

Yes, you do.

[slim ferry]

why would it store what boss blinds have been disabled in the run...

[lament agate]

i thought they have it because

i THINK so

[lament agate]

how would i do it

[slim ferry]

hook Blind:disable()

[lament agate]

thanks

does this look right

[slim ferry]

why

are you putting the original function in a global table

you can literally just make it a local function

also this will crash since G.GAME doesnt exist during load

[lament agate]

smart

hold on

[still cedar]

Why does this error appear if I closed }

[slim ferry]

because

thats not a valid return

you shouldnt return there in the first place

[real crown]

Based on a previous conversation in this chat I tried debuffing all cards lower than Queen this way:
if context.debuff_card and context.debuff_card:get_id() < 12 then return { debuff = true } end
But it crashes when I try to open the deck or on round start, saying in this line I'm trying to compare nil with number
Isn't get_id supposed to be a number for all cards?

[slim ferry]

context.debuff_card gets called for EVERY card, not just playing cards

so get_id returns nil for jokers n such

[cursive gazelle]

You don’t return when scaling cards

[slim ferry]

add a context.debuff_card.area == G.deck check before the rank check

[real crown]

Ohhh, that makes sense, thank you!

[cursive gazelle]

Remove the return in the first if statement

[winter flower]

“but not when it’s off”

[slim ferry]

do anything

not show text

[winter flower]

oh

it just disables seraph from going above level 100 (which works)

[still cedar]

Thanks

[still cedar]

Thanks

[cyan lagoon]

heya, anyone knows what happened here?

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2564357377?t=3h11m52s

i played against UnseenExplosion with my mod, but it seems to softlock every now and then for him

i don't have anything to do with discards or redeeming vouchers which happened later

[daring fern]

The problem seems to be that many events are in the queue.

[cyan lagoon]

yeah, but how though?

again, i dont have anything to do with discards or drawing hands

and i like i never had this issue before

wait, no

i had that issue but it was because of a specific joker

i supposedly fixed that and that joker actually had an event call

here. just nothing seem to lead to what's the issue

[daring fern]

What is the code for the Flowey joker?

[cyan lagoon]

here's the first part

flowey was copying 8-ball, which too has nothing with discards

[daring fern]

Also, the reason the retriggers don't work is because SMODS.calculate_effect doesn't work for retriggers.

[cyan lagoon]

i figured

here's the next softlock

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2564357377?t=3h18m55s

completely different jokers, completely different game state

completely different everything

and a third one

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2564357377?t=3h33m24s

again, everything's completely different

[real crown]

        name = "The Prisoner",
        text = {
                    "Earn {C:money}$#1#{} at",
                    "end of round",
                    "{C:inactive} Activates in #2# rounds",
              },
    },```
Is there a way to make the text change  based on a variable? E.g.: before the required rounds elapse, the money part is inactive and the "Activates in ... rounds" is visible, and once the rounds go by, the top part becomes no longer inactive, and the bottom part just disappears
I tried doing an if for the text part, but I couldn't get it to work, maybe I'm missing something

[daring fern]

You would have to use a localization file.

[real crown]

Thank you!

[loud summit]

hi how do you make a joker generate a value on spawning?

i tried using init = function(self, card) but it crashed and claimed card was null

[daring fern]

set_ability

[loud summit]

what are the arguments

[daring fern]

self, card, initial, delay_sprites

[loud summit]

thx

[still crescent]

someone knows why this is happening?

[still cedar]

How can I make the description show xmult scale like this?

[loud summit]

        local scale = 0
        for card in G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker do
            if string.find(card.config.center.original_mod, "flame") then print(card.config.center.original_mod) end``` errors with "attempt to call a table value" on the for line

[loud summit]

loc_vars and including #1# and #2# as placeholders in the localization description

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker) do

[loud summit]

and then just ignore v?

[daring fern]

No, that's the value.

[loud summit]

shoot

so ignore k?

also whats the diff between ipairs and pairs

[daring fern]

Yes.

[rocky plaza]

ipairs only goes through numeric indices and in a consistent order
pairs goes through every index/key and its paired value in no consistent order

[still crescent]

isnt that luau roblox studio?

[loud summit]

oke thx

[rocky plaza]

i think thats true for lua in general, not just luau

[still cedar]

Thanks

[still cedar]

How can i make calculation with xmult reset like this?

[loud summit]

just havw a prob check in the calculate function and set the ability var to x1

[round lion]

is there any variable that keeps track of blinds that were on-fire'd

[daring fern]

No.

[jaunty sigil]

chat a quick question. What does this mean?

if context.setting_blind  then
                play_sound("modprefix_")
    SMODS.calculate_effect({message = "YOU ARE AN IDIOT!"}, card)

[tight hull]

Hi, whats the code required to change the texture of decks? (not the playable cards, decks)

[jaunty sigil]

like, what sound should i put i mean

like, idk how to put my sound

[daring fern]

modprefix_soundkey

[tight hull]

I cant find whats the key for it, is what I mean

[jaunty sigil]

huh?

[daring fern]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1300851004186820690

[tight hull]

thnx

[daring fern]

play_sound('modprefix_soundkey')

[jaunty sigil]

yeah but, should the sound name be a local var in the script?

srry, i dont understand nothing 😭

[daring fern]

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

[jaunty sigil]

ooh thankss <3

[cursive gazelle]

there's also examples is the smods repo

[jaunty sigil]

cool :D but i still dont understand from the thing :D (yes i read everything.) like, what's a key </3

[cursive gazelle]

when you define a sound you use a key

it's something you name to an object so you can call it later

[tight hull]

is there a list of game objects, like tarrot cards, spectral cards ect? (not in malverk but in smods)

[jaunty sigil]

so like, at the start of the script, I should put like:

Key = 'Path'

?

[cursive gazelle]

mod prefix you can find in yout .json file

[jaunty sigil]

and then in the "playsound()" put the Key?

[cursive gazelle]

you can name it whatever

[daring fern]

No, it's key

[jaunty sigil]

okay understood :D

[cursive gazelle]

modprefix_key

[daring fern]

No, it's play_sound

[cursive gazelle]

.

[jaunty sigil]

wait rlly?

[jaunty sigil]

i meant that brother 😭

[cursive gazelle]

somethingcom said it lol

[jaunty sigil]

oh wait I think I understood 😭

[cursive gazelle]

here

[jaunty sigil]

like ts?

[cursive gazelle]

mod prefix is your mod prefix

[jaunty sigil]

so xmpl in my case?

[cursive gazelle]

you can find it in your json file

[cursive gazelle]

yes

[jaunty sigil]

okay thanks :D

[cursive gazelle]

you need to define an SMODS.Sound

first

give it a path to your sound and a key

like stated in the docs

and your sound files should be under assets/sounds

[tight hull]

bump

[cursive gazelle]

there's

[jaunty sigil]

guys. it kinda work, but when I select a blind it says "idiot_sound.ogg doesn't exist!" but in the main.lua file it says .wav??

[cursive gazelle]

.

[jaunty sigil]

sounds should be in assets?! 😭

[cursive gazelle]

idk if love2d supports wav files ogg is the format i see everyone uses

[jaunty sigil]

it has to be ogg?? 😭

[cursive gazelle]

dude read the docs lol

[daring fern]

No, ogg is preferred.

[jaunty sigil]

ah

[cursive gazelle]

most commnly used

can i see your code ?

[jaunty sigil]

sure wait a sec

[cursive gazelle]

where's the SMODS.Sound

[jaunty sigil]

huh-

[cursive gazelle]

you don't define the sound in a variable

you define it in SMODS.Sound

[jaunty sigil]

at the
if context.setting_blind then
play_sound("xmpl_IdiotSound")

[jaunty sigil]

😭

[cursive gazelle]

give it a key and path

[cursive gazelle]

that's the sound playing function

[jaunty sigil]

but in the docs' examples it puts them in vars?? 😭

[cursive gazelle]

do path="yoursound.wav"

[jaunty sigil]

what abt the key?

but uh sure :D

[cursive gazelle]

just wait

i'll give you the code

[jaunty sigil]

done

[wheat jewel]

If I want to go in chronological order for ranks, how do I edit this method to do so

[jaunty sigil]

s u there? 😭

time to wait ig :D

oh he back :D

[daring fern]

SMODS.Sound{
    key = "IdiotSound",
    path = 'idiot_sound.wav'
}

[cursive gazelle]

SMODS.Sound{
    key="soundkey",

}```

internet issue

my bad

i didn't even format it in lua

[jaunty sigil]

ooh dw

[tight hull]

could you tell me what a deck is considered as please? I cant find it 😔

[jaunty sigil]

btw tysm!! imma give you credits on the mod if thats okay with you :D:D

[cursive gazelle]

what do you want to do exactly

[wheat jewel]

bump

[tight hull]

change the texture of playable decks, I know I can use malverk but I have 2 mod versions (with malverk and without it)

[jaunty sigil]

chat it gives me this error😔😔😔

imma try to understand that :D

[cursive gazelle]

you can check the smods examples it has an example for jokers

[jaunty sigil]

and I cant understand that :D

[cursive gazelle]

negative texture pack

[jaunty sigil]

huh?

[tight hull]

it was to me

[jaunty sigil]

ah

[cursive gazelle]

not you

post code

[daring fern]

It means the file doesn't exist.

[wheat jewel]

could someone please help me figure this out because i have no idea

[jaunty sigil]

wait wha

[cursive gazelle]

put the sound in assets/sounds bro

[tight hull]

I mean I know how to do that, but I dont know what should I put in key

[jaunty sigil]

i did 😭

[cursive gazelle]

post code

[jaunty sigil]

wait, the folder has to be named as "sounds" 😭

[cursive gazelle]

make a folder in assets name it sounds and place your sounds inside

[jaunty sigil]

yep did that

imma check if it works

[cursive gazelle]

check the src of the game

[tight hull]

whats that/where to find it?

[jaunty sigil]

same crash again :c

[daring fern]

Show the file structure.

[robust marsh]

        local tag_key
        local _tag = e.UIBox:get_UIE_by_ID('tag_container')
        if _tag and _tag.config and _tag.config.ref_table and _tag.config.ref_table.key then
            tag_key = _tag.config.ref_table.key
        end

        local ret = G.FUNCS.select_blind(e)
        if tag_key then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                func = function()
                    local new_tag = Tag(tag_key,false,'Small')
                    if new_tag then
                        add_tag(new_tag)
                    end
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
        return ret
    end
    return skip_blind_ref(e)
end

The acquired tag is different from the one that's shown on the blind

[cursive gazelle]

the source code of the game -> extract the balatro.exe into an empty folder

[jaunty sigil]

oh wait sorry i forgor to put sounds in assets </3

i forget things

sorry :C

[tight hull]

oh, okok thnx

[wheat jewel]

bump again

[robust marsh]

Mb i forgot to mention

The issue is orbital tags

[cursive gazelle]

all good

[daring fern]

new_tag:set_ability()

[robust marsh]

after the if new_tag statement I asusme

assume*

[daring fern]

No, after you define it.

[robust marsh]

Alright, thank you

[gilded goblet]

can someone please tell me why the actual sticker sprite is being applied here instead of the win one?

[cursive gazelle]

can you set_ability to nil ?

😭

[wheat jewel]

Cold this work to make a joker cycle through ranks in chronological order

obv i gotta edit it to reset to rank 2 or smthn

but should i instantiate the card outside the method to make sure it doesn't always set itself to aces every time?

[cursive gazelle]

wrong atlas key

your key is set to stakes not stake_stickers

[jaunty sigil]

should I put here the name or key of joker?

[cursive gazelle]

key

[gilded goblet]

theres sticker_atlas though, for stickers?

[jaunty sigil]

oksay thanks :D

[cursive gazelle]

stakes if the default key

for vanilla

use another key

[gilded goblet]

hrmmm, okay

that didnt fix it unfortunately

[tight hull]

I looked thru it, found decks, but still no idea what they are considered as (it says decks but if I put that in the key it doesnt work), but I found a mod (Fancy decks by js303) that does what I want to do. Is there a way to write this better?

   local fancy_mod = SMODS.findModByID("FancyDecks")
   local sprite_enhancer = SMODS.Sprite:new("centers", fancy_mod.path, "FancyDecks.png", 71, 95, "asset_atli")

   sprite_enhancer:register()
   
end

[cursive gazelle]

can i see the code

[daring fern]

No, that is extremely old.

[tight hull]

I see that, but I have no idea how to

umm

renew it?

renovate it?

sorry I dont know the word

[daring fern]

No, everything in that code block doesn't exist.

[tight hull]

ah

kinda sad

[wheat jewel]

this is returning an error at when i'm trying to change the rank of a card but make it go in chronological order instead of being chosen at random

[normal crest]

what is the error

[wheat jewel]

shows an error when trying to get the base value of the card

[normal crest]

if Malverk is able to replace sprites then you should look how it does it

[robust marsh]

@daring fern btw it worked, just wanted to say thank you :)

[wheat jewel]

the logic isn't done, obviously i wanna find a way to not make it start as aces everytime the function is called

[normal crest]

you're defining ferris_card as just a table with the rank field, so it doesn't have anything else

[gilded goblet]

if i do this, and disable the Atlas in stickers.lua (the file where i apply the actual stickers), it works (but then i lose the actual sticker sprites):

SMODS.Atlas {
  key = "stakes",
  path = "stakes.png",
  px = 29,
  py = 29
}

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

SMODS.Stake {
  atlas = "chips",
  key = "tax",
  pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
  applied_stakes = {"orange"},
  unlocked_stake = "gold",
  prefix_config = {applied_stakes = {mod = false}, unlocked_stake = {mod = false}, above_stake = {mod = false}},
  above_stake = "orange",
  sticker_atlas = "stickers",
  sticker_pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
  modifiers = function()
    G.GAME.modifiers.enable_tax_in_shops = true
  end,
  colour = HEX "cc4846",
  shiny = false,
}

[wheat jewel]

oh i see

[tight hull]

like I said, I know I can do it with Malverk (and I will) but I also have a version of a mod without malverk support, thank you for the suggestion tho

[wheat jewel]

I was referencing the code for mail in rebate but i wanna figure out how to make it go in order of ranks rather than choosing at random

[normal crest]

I didn't mean use Malverk, I meant look at how Malverk does it and use their code on your mod

[tight hull]

oh sorry then, thats a good idea

-- ['b_Tag'] = 'Tags',
-- ['b_Back'] = 'Decks',
-- ['b_Seal'] = 'Seals',```
if I understand it correctly the key for decks should be "Back"?

"Back" doesnt work

[half aspen]

hello everyone, i’m currently prototyping ideas for jokers, just wondering if a joker is debuffed, do the stickers on that joker still take effect or are they disabled too? thanks!

[daring fern]

The stickers are disabled.

[half aspen]

alright; thank you so much!

[slim ferry]

im pretty sure eternal DOES still take effect though

because you still cant sell debuffed eternals normally

[jaunty sigil]

btw chat, how do I make a high-pixel thing joker texture? cause I normally used that, but it only loads the normal one. so, when I select the one I used the most, it shows small :C

[robust marsh]

can i use G.GAME.banned_keys to ban suits or would i just have to make the deck automatically convert any picked up spades/hearts into clubs/diamonds

[daring fern]

Yes, the stickers are still on the card, their effects just don't calculate.

[daring fern]

No, you would remove them from the pool.

[robust marsh]

mkay, ty

[slim ferry]

you need to have both a 1x and a 2x folder in your assets with your sprites at 1x and 2x size respectively

i assume thats what you mean

[jaunty sigil]

i have them. but idk how to resize the 2x one

[slim ferry]

well that depends on what program you use

[red flower]

there's SMODS.add_to_pool that should allow you to ban suits

[jaunty sigil]

krita?

[slim ferry]

no clue, never used it

[jaunty sigil]

a normal game of balatro with my joker </3

[jaunty sigil]

ah </3

[slim ferry]

just go looking around for some option to resize the image somewhere ig

[jaunty sigil]

why not loading 😭

[slim ferry]

because you uploaded a 10 minute video 😭

[jaunty sigil]

oh nvm it loaded :D

[slim ferry]

how did discord even let you upload something that large wtf

[jaunty sigil]

its a normal game of balator with my joekr :3

[slim ferry]

that seems big even for nitro

[jaunty sigil]

i have nitor :D

niteo*

niteoer*

[slim ferry]

true

[jaunty sigil]

nah not doing ts for the 100th time</3

how do i talk? 🤓

[slim ferry]

its okay at least you tried

[jaunty sigil]

uyay :D

yay*

[glacial terrace]

hey, does anyone know how to queue the visual change from modify_rank with the message animation? right now it works functionally but the card sprite changes before scoring and when retriggers happen it just jumps straight to the final rank

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play 
        and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1] then
            assert(SMODS.modify_rank(context.other_card, 1))
            return {
                message = "Rank Up!",
                colour = G.C.ORANGE
            }
        end
    end

[robust marsh]

is this from the newest ver?

[red flower]

yes

[robust marsh]

gotcha

[red flower]

its kinda broken rn but it should work for suits correctly

[robust marsh]

[slim ferry]

put it in an event

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
  func = function()
    --rank change code
  end
}))

[daring fern]

local other_card = context.other_card
return {
    message = "Rank Up!",
    colour = G.C.ORANGE,
    func = function()
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                assert(SMODS.modify_rank(other_card, 1))
            end
        }))
    end
}

[runic pecan]

Is all the highlighted part necessary, or do I only need the SMODS.find_card one?

[robust marsh]

took me 5 minutes to realize i dunno how to use SMODS.add_to_pool

[gilded goblet]

inject functions in smods.sticker and smods.stake seem to be conflicting with each other, guess im not gonna have win sticker sprites

[glossy comet]

i am having issues with creating a specific consumable and adding it to G.consumeables, such that when the card is created, instead of going into the consumables area, it just floats there and doesn't do anything
this is my code, is there anything i am doing wrong here?

[daring fern]

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

[glossy comet]

oh
i see

[slim ferry]

always at least use SMODS.create_card, and if youre immediately emplacing it into an area just use SMODS.add_card

[tight hull]

Part of game code:
{name = "centers", path = "resources/textures/"..self.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.texture_scaling.."x/Enhancers.png",px=71,py=95},
"centers" also doesnt work and I have no idea what will 😔
[update: "centers" works, I forgot to add .png to the name of my atlas]

[robust marsh]

@red flower sorry for being a bother but i'm lost

[red flower]

-- Hearts don't appear at all
local smods_add_to_pool_ref = SMODS.add_to_pool
function SMODS.add_to_pool(prototype_obj, args)
    if prototype_obj.suit_nominal then -- check if it's a suit
        if prototype_obj.key == "Hearts" then
            return false
        end
    end
    return smods_add_to_pool_ref(prototype_obj, args)
end

[still cedar]

Can anyone explain how can i make calculation with xmult reset like this? (And can you please give more details, I really don't understand)

[frosty rampart]

break it down into smaller parts
"after blind is selected": find a context that fits that timing. (hint: it definitely exists, consider referencing marble joker from vanillaremade)
"1 in 6 chance": you'll need to use the probability api. if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'seed', numerator, denominator, 'identifier') then should do what you're looking for (remember to replace numerator and denominator with the actual odds, as well as probably seed and identifier with unique strings related to this joker)
"resets to X1 Mult": this is literally just resetting a variable to 1

[next timber]

uhhhhhh i get the feeling i might be fucking this up massively

[stiff jungle]

I am getting this crash whenever I open a celestial pack after buying the luma voucher

[frosty rampart]

uhhhh what happens if you only put the rarity in the Joker pool

[frosty rampart]

what is the luma voucher
also if you aren't making your own mod it should go in #⚙・modding-general

[next timber]

still crash

WAIT IM SUTPID

IM NOT LOADING THE RARITY FILE IGNORE ME

[robust marsh]

dope

tysm

[frosty rampart]

lmaooooo
glad it's fixed

[errant arrow]

how does balatro decide where the jokers go in the collection? trying to sort the jokers a bit better

-# dang, i killed the chat-

[frosty rampart]

within your own mod, it's the order the jokers are defined
if you want to move around the vanilla jokers, uhhhhhhh idk :3

[errant arrow]

so the order as the jokers are loaded?

[still cedar]

Why might this error appear?

[frosty rampart]

yea
if you have SMODS.Joker { key = "foo", ... } before SMODS.Joker { key = "bar", ... }, then foo joker should come before bar joker in the collection

[errant arrow]

okay, thank you

[slim ferry]

youre missing an end in the middle if statement

[frosty rampart]

two ends actually

[slim ferry]

o

yea

also resets = Xmult doesnt do anything youre just making a variable called resets with the same value as Xmult (which doesnt exist so it does nothing)

[still cedar]

Okay, thanks

But if you mean that the variable Xmult does not exist, then it does exist and I gave it the value 1.

[frosty rampart]

when you're referencing a variable you added to a joker, it always has to be card.ability.extra.[variable name]
same goes for the numerator and denominator you set in the probability function call

[errant arrow]

Is context.end_of_round what I'm looking for when it comes to a joker giving money?

[frosty rampart]

if you want it in the cash out screen, you need to use a separate function outside of calculate
but end_of_round is fine if you want the same timing as e.g. a gold card held in hand

[errant arrow]

Ah, wanted it in cash out, thanks

[frosty rampart]

just return a number that's the amount of money you want to give (reference cloud nine in vanillaremade if you need more details)

[errant arrow]

So it'd be calc_dollar_bonus(self, card) = #?

[frosty rampart]

i don't think so, it's more like

calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
  -- function code here if you need to do any intermediate calculation
  return #
end,

[errant arrow]

Okay

[frosty rampart]

here's what cloud 9 does for example

[errant arrow]

Last thing,
What's the context for entering the shop?
Nvm.

[slim ferry]

context.starting_shop iirc

oh

[errant arrow]

I mean, if I need it I'll use it, but right now I just realized It'd be easier for me to do end_of_round

[still cedar]

Did I write line 144 correctly?

And this whole function not including line 145

[frosty rampart]

.

[still cedar]

I just don't really understand where exactly I need to insert the variable name

[frosty rampart]

it's not mod_probability, it's card.ability.extra.mod_probability. It's not odds, it's card.ability.extra.odds

[gusty compass]

does anyone seem to know where i can access the chips and mult counters (the values on the left), i found this snippet in the game code that looks for those counters but it uses args that i cant seem to find

[slim ferry]

hand_chips and mult

[cursive gazelle]

Odds should be defined

[frosty rampart]

they have an odds variable in their extra table

so I'm just trying to get them to comprehend how to use that variable properly

[marble stratus]

Yo how do I make a tarot that a joker makes negative?

(Yes this is for my very stupid mod)

[gusty compass]

so are those the variables to the counters, or are they located in for example G.GAME?

[slim ferry]

they arent located in any table

[gusty compass]

oh

so it is just standalone?

[cursive gazelle]

Then they should access it through card.ability.extra

No?

[slim ferry]

yea

[gusty compass]

thanks

[frosty rampart]

yea that's what I told them

[cursive gazelle]

You’re so smart it’s insane

[frosty rampart]

thank u :3

[cursive gazelle]

Use SMODS.Add_card

And set edition to e_negative

[marble stratus]

I'm using jokerforge

[cursive gazelle]

I have no idea

[marble stratus]

I set it to be negative, but it isn't

Ah alr

Ty anyways

[cursive gazelle]

Can you edit the code ?

[marble stratus]

Yes

[cursive gazelle]

It’s done simply by code honestly

Screenshot the code and send it here

[cursive gazelle]

It doesn’t have negative in the edition

[marble stratus]

whatrtge

where*

where do i put it#

[cursive gazelle]

SMODS.Add_card

Add this inside

,edition=“e_negative”

[marble stratus]

before or after set = tarot

or do it no mateer

matter*

[cursive gazelle]

Make it the last thing

[cursive gazelle]

I don’t think it matters

[marble stratus]

okiw :3

alr lwemme checc if workws

Alr for some reason it gives only three, even though I have 24 of the joker that gives it.

[distant junco]

yo, im trying to make an enhanced card that has a chance of being destroyed when its discarded. so far ive got lua if context.discard then if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'enlightenment', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then return { remove = true } end end
this works to an extent but as far as im aware it has a chance of destroying all the discarded cards rather than just the one by itself

[cursive gazelle]

You have yo ignore the consumeable buffer if you’re adding negative

[marble stratus]

Ah

[cursive gazelle]

But i don’t think it matters

[marble stratus]

Where is that? (Srry if I'm dumb)

[cursive gazelle]

Negative copies should work fine

[marble stratus]

Alr ty!!!

[distant junco]

np

[cursive gazelle]

Remove the end of the if statement too

[marble stratus]

Alr :333

[wide chasm]

bump

[round lion]

if i want to lovely patch a mod for whatever reason what should i do

[cursive gazelle]

So you want the cards to keep triggering until it the lucky cards hit?

[cursive gazelle]

Read the vanilla remade wiki

N explains how to make patches there

[marble stratus]

so, it worked

[frosty rampart]

mkv embed fail

[marble stratus]

Rip

But yea it's kinda broken I think

[vast night]

hi rq

where is the base calculate function and how do i hook into it

couldn't find anything

[cursive gazelle]

Read the smods src

[vast night]

do they already do that?

[real crown]

    key = "Pristine",
    default_weight = 1,
    badge_colour = HEX('E3F0FD'),
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end,
}```
How can I use this rarity? I tried rarity=5, but I'm getting empty pool

[frosty rampart]

rarity = "modprefix_Pristine"
replace modprefix with your mod's actual prefix

the number only works for vanilla rarities, because if you have multiple mods with rarities, there's no consistent way to assign rarities to numbers

[real crown]

Thank you!

[gusty compass]

ok so a bit of a counter-issue, i am trying to do some number manipulation using hand_chips and mult however they are considered table values, and even though they contain a value, i cant really access it through an index, unless im missing something, would you happen to know the index of the values?

[real crown]

Uhmmm, really dumb question, but how do I find my modprefix?
I do have an atlas with a key, but the key there is not working

[gusty compass]

is it not in a json file?

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/discussions/919 in the SMODS.Scoring_Parameter section:

[frosty rampart]

you yourself defined your mod prefix in your mod's metadata (either the json file or the header of your main lua file)

[gusty compass]

using this am i able to fetch the chips and mult values and assign it to a variable?

[frosty rampart]

oh wait do you have talisman?

[real crown]

Thank you!!

[vast night]

digged a bit but stiill found nothing

any help?

[frosty rampart]

what's your goal

[frosty rampart]

@gusty compass

[vast night]

i wanna hook into the base calculate_context of balatro that gets called

so i can code custom behaviour in it for a custom thing i'm making

[frosty rampart]

yes what is the custom behavior you want to add
if you need like a new context or something i'm not sure you're digging in the right spot

[vast night]

no i don't want a custom context, but have another thing be called when a context / calc happens

[gusty compass]

Yea I have talisman

[vast night]

but obviously i need to make it be calculatedd in the fits place

[jolly shadow]

global mod calculate

[frosty rampart]

yea hand_chips and mult are normally just numbers, but with talisman they become tables because that's how talisman stores numbers. you need to wrap the other side of whatever you're comparing in a to_big() function call

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

[gusty compass]

So should I rely on to_big and detect if talisman is enabled or make talisman a conflict?

[frosty rampart]

look at the link i sent

[gusty compass]

Kk

[frosty rampart]

yea as edward said, you can set up a calculate function for the mod object itself now. see here, specifically the "Calculation" header. from there you can write some code to calculate your Fate objects

[vast night]

you can always use to_big and use

if not talisman then
    to_big = function(n)
        return n
    end
end

[gusty compass]

Yea I read it, I might consider creating a failsafe dummy to_big if talisman ain't installed

[vast night]

tbh i don't normally use lua, so it's just a table 😅
-# aka i didn't define a class

[frosty rampart]

no yea everything's just a table lmao
in the global mod calculate function, what i'd probably do is just loop through each of your fates and run [fate]:calculate(context), since the global mod calculate gets the context too

[vast night]

oooh didnt read that

awesome

tysm

[frosty rampart]

oh also you need to define the fate's calculate function to be at least function(self, context) i think. so you can access any values you might store in the fate lol

[slim ferry]

it should be just .vscode, also it wont work if the file already existed

[gusty compass]

Yea the to_big function seems to be working, now I will prob figure out if I can check if talisman is installed, anyways cheers :D

[vast night]

must self be included or can i leave that out

FATES.calculate = function (self, context)
    for fate in G.GAME.Fates.active_fates do
        FATES.Data.Fates[fate].calculate(context)
    end
end

[frosty rampart]

make it FATES.Data.Fates[fate]:calculate(context) with a colon, then that automatically passes the fate object as self

[vast night]

neat (what's it for tho)

like i understand it w/ jokers, but i have only saved the key in active_fates

[frosty rampart]

yea i dunno what your fate objects do exactly, i just suggested that in case they ever have to store any other values (e.g. if it was some sort of scaling effect or whatever). but if you know they never will, then you don't have to do the self thing at all and you should leave the code snippet you just sent the way it is

[vast night]

so i'd better store that fate table in active_fates, than the fate key

just aksing

[frosty rampart]

yee i think
oh wait looking at your code closer i have some more adjustments
you can't do for x in y, it has to be for x, y in ipairs(z) if z is a regular array (with numbered ordered indexes) or for x, y in pairs(z) if z is more of a dictionary. so you'd do for _, fate in ipairs(G.GAME.Fates.active_fates) do and then you can just make the body be fate.calculate(context)

because fate is the value itself, not the index

[vast night]

yea i forgot lol

[vast night]

and how a bout this?

[frosty rampart]

yea

[vast night]

ty again

[frosty rampart]

happy to help! curious what you're doing with fates from a player perspective :3

[clear ocean]

i decided to look at jokerforge to see if there was some sort of method to get a random tag and it did so i copied that and it doesn't seem to work. is it because it was only meant for a joker or something?

[frosty rampart]

take out the context.individual check maybe? blue seal in vanillaremade doesn't have that

[clear ocean]

ok 👍

[vast night]

i can show it to you if you wanna. i'm currently remaking the whole mod cause of my stupidity :)

[distant junco]

bump?

[slim ferry]

yk you can upload the crash log as a file right

[vast night]

[clear ocean]

that is all that took thank you @frosty rampart and by extension @vast bough

[slim ferry]

why so pentagonal

[distant junco]

wisau sirius

[clear ocean]

let me test with mime real quick before i consider it done

weird mime doesn't seem to work

[vast night]

also now when i add a fate using table.insert(G.GAME.Fates.active_fates, fate) instead of table.insert(G.GAME.Fates.active_fates, fate_key), the game crashes with this

[frosty rampart]

hm
maybe go back to storing the keys and referencing it the old way then

[red flower]

is fate a function

[vast night]

not by itself

it's a table

-- Add a Fate
FATES.Data.Funcs.add_fate = function (key)
    local fate = FATES.Data.Fates[key]

    -- Add fate to history of fates
    table.insert(G.GAME.Fates.fate_history, fate)

    -- Add fate to list of active fates
    if fate.stays then
        table.insert(G.GAME.Fates.active_fates, fate)
    end

    -- Run Fate
    fate:on_get()
end

that's the full code

that i use to add a fate

[red flower]

a table with a function?

[vast night]

a table where on_get, calculate and on_remove is a function

[red flower]

yeah the game doesnt like that

[clear ocean]

i mean i'm NOT too worried since it could be a balancing thing but i don't want someone to play with mime and think the seal is broken

okay mime might just not work with seals or something

[frosty rampart]

you might want to define a fate as a new objecttype now that I think about it (check the SMODS documentation)

[distant junco]

double bump someone please

[clear ocean]

restarted and mime does work with blue seal so idk why green seal isn't working

[slim ferry]

where is the suit of a playing card stored?

[frosty rampart]

you probably need a message

[clear ocean]

where do you put the message? i can make a loc message but not sure where that's all

[frosty rampart]

after you close the event, return { message = ... }

[clear ocean]

ok 👍 which table do you put messages btw?

[frosty rampart]

if you have just localize('k_something'), it goes in misc -> dictionary
i.e.:

misc = {
  dictionary = {
    k_something = "something",
    ...
  }
}

[clear ocean]

thanks

[frosty rampart]

[card].base.suit

[clear ocean]

it looks like everything is working so far i guess i need some sort of repetitions in the config or return or something

[red flower]

it means that something is returning in context.repetition without repetitions

probably your context check is not strict enough

[clear ocean]

it's context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card == card

[red flower]

yeah

that runs twice, once in individual and once in repetition

[frosty rampart]

erm...

[clear ocean]

context.individual?

[red flower]

add an and context.individual

[clear ocean]

erm... awkward...

[red flower]

thats should be playing_card_end_of_round iirc

i forgot to fix it

[clear ocean]

its okay

[robust marsh]

how do i fetch the current blind's reward money?

[clear ocean]

easiest issue report

[red flower]

i mean dont im here

[frosty rampart]

G.GAME.blind.config.blind.dollars

[clear ocean]

all i added with a context.individual check

[slim ferry]

shouldnt it be context.playing_card_end_of_round

or is that not for seals

[clear ocean]

no idea

[frosty rampart]

yea i don't think n caught that is was for a seal, but he mentioned he needed to switch to playing_card_end_of_round when i brought up blue seal
take out individual again and try that

[clear ocean]

let's try that

[wintry solar]

it should yes

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

[clear ocean]

wait that's all is needed?

[wintry solar]

yes

[robust marsh]

tysm

[clear ocean]

thank you fox wizard 🙏

ITS WORKS 🗣️

[frosty rampart]

smods wiki calculate page update
i beg you to take as much time as you need because i'm sure it's a lot of work :)

[frosty rampart]

no problem

[clear ocean]

mime on that tag

last thing is if the green colour is good or should i make it like lower in contrast or darker or something

[vast night]

hey @frosty rampart i'm still stuck on that ccrash

i think it happens while the game tries to save

but i am unure why it crashes there

there is nothing like a circular reference or smtn like that

[red flower]

whats the crash and what are you doing

[vast night]

i am getting a fate out of a predefined table, saving it to a variable and inserting it into 1 or 2 other tables in G.GAME, where i think the game gets confused while saving

-- Fate Definer
FATES.Fate = function (args)
    local fate = {
        key = args.key,
        loc_txt = args.loc_txt,
        vars = args.vars or {},
        stays = args.stays,
        atlas = args.atlas or "fates_fates",
        pos = args.pos or nil,
        on_get = args.on_get or function (self) end,
        calculate = args.calculate or function (self, context) end,
        on_remove = args.on_remove or function (self) end
    }
    FATES.Data.Fates[fate.key] = fate
end

-- Initialize Run Save
FATES.Data.Funcs.init_run = function ()
    G.GAME.Fates = {
        active_fates = {},
        fate_history = {}
    }
end

-- Add a Fate
FATES.Data.Funcs.add_fate = function (key)
    local fate = FATES.Data.Fates[key]

    -- Add fate to history of fates
    table.insert(G.GAME.Fates.fate_history, fate)

    -- Add fate to list of active fates
    if fate.stays then
        table.insert(G.GAME.Fates.active_fates, fate)
    end

    -- Run Fate
    fate:on_get()
end

-- Calculation
FATES.calculate = function (self, context)
    for _, fate in ipairs(G.GAME.Fates.active_fates) do
        fate:calculate(context)
    end
end

[frosty rampart]

oh
yea your whole fate is a function after all

[red flower]

i mean that's what i said yeah

[vast night]

what

am i stupid or am i missing something

[red flower]

you cant save these in G.GAME

[vast night]

oh

[frosty rampart]

or uh yea disregard me, i typed before i thought

[vast night]

you are kidding me

like not fr

but

ok

so should i rather go back to saving the key

[red flower]

you can't save functions because theyre not serializable

[vast night]

or save the function separately

[red flower]

yes

[vast night]

figured

[frosty rampart]

i'd personally revamp how fates are defined in general, to make it extend SMODS.ObjectType (or maybe just define it as a new SMODS.ConsumableType if that makes sense for what a Fate is). but i haven't experimented much with that yet

[vast night]

i would prefer it being my own thing, but i can try that too

[wintry solar]

what is a fate

[red flower]

extending SMODS.GameObject or something would probably be good but i also dont know what a fate is

[vast night]

a fate is something separate

gtg

back soon

[wintry solar]

what a brilliant answer 🙃

[wispy falcon]

How do I make my own cardarea? (Or what is a mod that I could steal learn from?)

[vast night]

wowzers

[gilded goblet]

let's go

[slim ferry]

i think they wanted more of a description than "its something seperate"

[vast night]

quick question: what is that exactly. couldn't find anything in the docs

[slim ferry]

its not in the docs

because you generally shouldnt be using it to add existing types of content

[stiff locust]

variable colors are confusing me help

I know how to make them add 1 extra color on 1 condition but I have one joker that needs four different values to change color individually

I figured it out I think maybe

[slim ferry]

though SMODS.GameObject is like the very base that every other thing is an extension of

[versed swan]

"tell us about it in excruciating detail!" "well it was a whole dream- bye!"

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/src/game_object.lua SMODS.GameObject is at the very top of this steamodded file

[wintry solar]

If you tell us what a Fate actually is in terms of the game we can provide you with the most appropriate help

[wispy falcon]

bump

[vast night]

ok

Fates

Fates is a Balatro mod, which i've developed, but foolishly deleted, so i'm remaking it
When you beat a boss blind, instead of directly coming to the shop, you get a fate poll. In the discord then, a poll is started where everyone can vote on what happens to the player. A fate is just an option in the poll like "Gain $15" or "Lose $2 every round". I've (partially) figured out the connection already (it worked in ver 1, so no prob there), i know how to make a custom screen and other stuff. what i just wanna do is store a fate definition as a table to make it more modular (idk what went through my mind when writing this)

TLDR: A fate is something completely new, which can happen at any time, supports calculates, but dosen't appear as a tag, joker, consumeable, you name it

also i am no longer at my pc, elsewise i could've showed what the definitions mean

also sorry for not writing this sooner lol

[red flower]

yeah you can extend SMODS.GameObject

i would check something like Blockbuster or Cardsleeves for examples

[wide chasm]

no they retrigger once, then if they hit the lucky card, retrigger again

[wispy falcon]

bump2

[stiff locust]

what's the context for when playing cards are dsetroyed and how do I get information about the destroyed playing cards in that context

[fair osprey]

Is there a way to find the first drawn card of the round? context.hand_drawn isn't helping me much

[red flower]

context.first_hand_drawn and context.first_hand_drawn[1] ?

[red flower]

context.remove_playing_cards and they are in context.removed

[fair osprey]

Wouldn't that return the first card after sorting into ranks/suits?

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[fair osprey]

I'm looking for the actual first card from the top of the deck

[red flower]

i dont think so

[stiff locust]

in context.removed? it's a table?

[red flower]

but you can probably do G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards] in context.setting_blind

as well

[red flower]

yes

[stiff locust]

gotcha so context.removed[1] is a card object

[red flower]

yeah

[fair osprey]

Oh nice, that makes sense. I'll give both a try, thanks

[stiff locust]

it has just occured to me that one of my jokers uses two different methods to check for an enhancement in the same code block

[chrome widget]

I am an Artiste.....

[stiff locust]

woag

[stuck yew]

is balatro mod manager widely used? thinking about putting my mod on there, but idk if it works properly with an automatic codeberg link instead of a github one, and i'd rather not maintain it with manual link changes, especially if it's a niche thing and if most people just do manual downloads & installs

[frosty rampart]

as long as you can consistently download the latest build from the same link across updates, it should be fine

[wispy falcon]

What do I change from that?

[frosty rampart]

fuck around and find out

that is probably the single best way to figure out how something works

[wispy falcon]

Okay but before I do that, is this normal. It is, right?

[slim ferry]

yeah

[wispy falcon]

Okay, I can't figure out what config = { align = 'cmi', offset = { x = 2.4, y = -5 }, major = self.jokers, bond = 'Weak' } is for, specifically major = self.jokers, bond = 'Weak'

[red flower]

what meta said but the specific note im going to give is to change type = 'extra_deck' for type = 'joker'

[candid prism]

what is going wrong help

[red flower]

I recommend reading the notes in the game's engine/ui.lua file

[wind steppe]

does anyone know how i would mess with the way the game gets its descriptions for jokers upon hover and whatnot

[stiff locust]

what does that mean

[candid prism]

fucking aound with localization

[red flower]

what does that mean

[wind steppe]

what function is called to get descriptions for jokers

surely its not just localize right

[red flower]

yes?

[wind steppe]

oh is it

damn

[red flower]

depends on what part you want to mess with if it's the text then localize yes

[wind steppe]

the description

[red flower]

did you restart the run before testing

[candid prism]

oh
right
reloading content

[wispy falcon]

Even if I want it to hold my consumable type?

[red flower]

yes

[candid prism]

hmm

[slim ferry]

parts._5 is just a five of a kind

thats your issue i think

[candid prism]

oh shit im going to have to code extra complicated two pair fuck

[slim ferry]

just copy the two pair check from vanillaremade and then check the ranks

[wispy falcon]

How do I add cards to the custom area?

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card { key = key, area = area}

[slim ferry]

for already created cards, its Cardarea:emplace(<card>) iirc

[wispy falcon]

Let's say I spawn it using DebugPlus, where would what of these go? Into the consumable's calculate?

[slim ferry]

what

rephrase please

[wispy falcon]

Okay, let's say I use DebugPlus to spawn my consumable by going in the collection and pressing 3 while hovering over it. Currently it's still going into the vanilla consumable area, not my own custom area. How do I make it go into the custom area instead?

[red flower]

you need to patch debugplus for that probably

[red flower]

just do this in the console instead

[wispy falcon]

Okay

It says 'Command smode.add_card not found'

[red flower]

eval SMODS.add_card{...}

[frosty rampart]

^

[hardy viper]

who up evalling

[red flower]

ballin

[frosty rampart]

in the debugplus console
straight up evaling it
and by it, well
let's justr say,,,

my SMODS.add_card{...}

[slim ferry]

this cats name is "eval os.remove("/system32")" you should type his name in your debugplus console

[wispy falcon]

Why does this result in an error?

[slim ferry]

missing quotes

and cardareas are stored in a table generally so you probably forgot that

oh and class prefix for consumables so youre also missing the c_

[wispy falcon]

I'm dumb

Now that I fixed it, it still just adds it to the vanilla consumable area

Nevermind, it is invincible in the area

Here

[red flower]

what's the code for the area

[red flower]

the type needs to be joker

also do you need 2 different areas

[wispy falcon]

Why?

[wispy falcon]

I'm gonna be honest, I thought I changed that TwT

[red flower]

it's a question

in my example i make 2 areas

you don't need both

[wispy falcon]

No, I only need 1 for the consumable

[red flower]

then delete the other one

[wispy falcon]

That starts where...?

[red flower]

you have one that's called card_area and one that is called cards_area

delete one of them

probably cards_area

that's the one that's hidden

[wispy falcon]

I just saw it myself. I'm blind. Thank you so much again

[wispy falcon]

How would I make a card spawn after 2 specific planet cards are used one after another? Like if Jupiter was used and then the next planet card (ignoring tarots and spectrals) is Earth, resulting in my consumable to spawn

[gusty iron]

out of curiosity, how would i return how many subscribers a youtube channel had, similarly to how cryptid's "membership card" joker works?

[feral tree]

i assume a higher weight means it's more common right?

[winter flower]

im trying to figure out how i can modify the negative rates
and im really lost

[slim ferry]

negative doesnt have a get_weight normally i think

[wispy falcon]

It explains it in the wiki for SMODS.Rarity

[slim ferry]

oh wait

youre returning the function i_lied

instead of calling it

[cursive gazelle]

I think no

But i’m not sure

[slim ferry]

yeah

it does mean that

[cursive gazelle]

Yo mama so fat she’s common rarity

[primal robin]

[wispy falcon]

bump

[wind steppe]

what function loads the info_queue?

im trying to make a setting that disables it

[hard flume]

Hiiii

[wind steppe]

set a global variable that detects the last used planet card and updates when a planet is used

in G.GAME

[cursive gazelle]

Disable the whole ui

It’s better

[cursive gazelle]

(For cards )

[wispy falcon]

How?

[wind steppe]

if the planet card thats used is the second required one and the currently tracked variable is the first one create the consumable

[wind steppe]

global mod calculate

get it to trigger on consumable use

[wispy falcon]

Do you mean something like G.GAME.current_round.cstorm_captcha_card?

[wind steppe]

yeah essentially

[wispy falcon]

And I add that into the consumable's calculate? Because I want the consumables of that type to only spawn like that

[winter flower]

im doing this wrong am i

[wind steppe]

no

that would be in global mod calculate

for the consumable itself make sure in_pool only returns false

[wispy falcon]

Where is that or where do I add/use that?

[wind steppe]

i dont know the specifics of global mod calculate unfortunately

i know it exists in latest smods

hold on

[frosty rampart]

it's documented in the smods 0827 release notes
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/discussions/919

[gusty iron]

Im a bit curious, but how would i use SMODS.https to get the subscriber count of a youtube channel?

[wind steppe]

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)

[wispy falcon]

Does it matter where that goes?

[wind steppe]

no

[gusty iron]

after a bit of fiddling around, i figured it out :)

[wind steppe]

why does this only center the ui elements in PSI.info_balance_text

[wispy falcon]

Why does it return nil? Shouldn't it return the card that's been used?

    if context.using_consumeable then
        consumeable = card
        print(consumeable)
    end
end```

[frosty rampart]

the card that's been used is context.consumable

[daring fern]

No, it's context.consumeable

[frosty rampart]

right

[lofty elm]

hiya, anyone know how to add the thing where you don't see a joker until you have something in your deck? Like you dont see stone joker until you have a stone card. I've seen this floating around so I threw it at the begining of my local vars function but it didn't work
info_queue[#1116390750314307698_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_stone

[daring fern]

enhancement_gate = 'm_stone'

[lofty elm]

ohhhh thats what that meant idk why I didn't think to try that, ty

[frosty rampart]

fyi, the code snippet you sent is just for adding a little infobox that explains what a Stone card is whenever you hover over the joker

[lofty elm]

oh cool

didn't even cross my mind to add those I'll have to go back and make sure all my jokers have that that need it

[feral tree]

is it possible to detect if a joker triggers? Boss blind where if a joker triggers it has a 1 in 4 chance to be debuffed

[daring fern]

context.post_trigger

But you have to enable it.

[frosty rampart]

how to enable it and then use it: https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#what-are-optional-features

[wispy falcon]

And how do I get it's set and key?

[daring fern]

context.consumeable.ability.set and context.consumeable.config.center.key

[gusty iron]

i feel the need to repent.

[lofty elm]

sorry to bother you again, do you know if it's possible to put 2 of these little boxes (ie both steel and gold)

i tried just putting the same line twice but it crashed

[wide lily]

whaaat I'm in this mod !!!

[lofty elm]

though I mightve just had a syntax error tbh im kinda dumb

[frosty rampart]

i did notice that in the version you sent, you capitalized the "i" in the second "info_queue", which you shouldn't do. but yes it should just be the same line twice

[lofty elm]

whoops, thank you yall are so helpful

though I def shoulda checked better for syntax before asking lol

[red flower]

that happens when you do #1116390750314307698

because its a channel name

[gusty iron]

how would i loop through a folder inside of my mod?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-organize-my-files
last example

[gusty iron]

okay thx, im trying to get the actual "yo mama joke" part of the joker working :)

i'm planning on having ~10 starts, 45 setups, and 45 punchlines

[wispy falcon]

Okay, dumb question but my brain is just not working right now. How do I make the variables not reset every time?

    if context.using_consumeable then
        local firstPlanet = "empty"
        local secondPlanet = "empty"

        if context.consumeable.ability.set == "Planet" then
            if firstPlanet == "empty" then
                firstPlanet = context.consumeable.config.center.key
            elseif secondPlanet == "empty" then
                secondPlanet = context.consumeable.config.center.key
            else
                firstPlanet = secondPlanet
                secondPlanet = context.consumeable.config.center.key
            end
        end
        print("The first Planet is " .. firstPlanet .. " and the second Planet is " .. secondPlanet)
    end
end```

[frosty rampart]

you need to use global variables in G.GAME

[daring fern]

‎

[wind steppe]

bump

[wispy falcon]

So I would use G.GAME.current_round.cstorm_firstPlanet instead?

[frosty rampart]

no, because current_round is for stuff that's only relevant in the current round. you'd just use G.GAME.cstorm_firstPlanet

[gusty iron]

how would i get the length of a sound?

trying to make a sound play, and this is happening, any help?

[daring fern]

Are you doing play_sound('modprefix_key')?

[gusty iron]

its inside of a return function

Code?

[gusty iron]

if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
    -- randomize the yo mama joke
    local start_text, start_index = pseudorandom_element(yomamajokes["starts"], seed)
    
    return {
        message = start_text,
        sound = "start_" .. start_index
    }
end

[daring fern]

You're missing your mod prefix.

[gusty iron]

oh

so "JCJ_start_" .. start_index?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[gusty iron]

okay

[gusty iron]

could you also answer this question?

[long sun]

have i done this correctly?

[daring fern]

local data = NFS.read('data', SMODS.Sounds[key].full_path)
local source = love.audio.newSource(fileData, "stream")
local length = source:getDuration()

[gusty iron]

okay this will be very useful in making the yo mama joke randomizer run smoothly

[daring fern]

No, card.children.atlas doesn't exist.

[long sun]

how may i change a card's atlas?

[daring fern]

card.children.center.atlas = G.ASSET_ATLAS[key]

[long sun]

cheers :D

[gusty iron]

how would i forcefully set the gamespeed to 1?

[daring fern]

G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED = 1

[frosty rampart]

but if you're trying to get some sort of timing to be consistent regardless of game speed, just uhhh divide? the duration by the current value of G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED
i forget if it's divide or multiply. but one of them will make the timing issues worse and the other will fix it

[gusty iron]

wouldnt it be multiply

as if something was 1 second long, and you had 2 gamespeed

youd want it to take 2 (1*2) seconds

[frosty rampart]

yea multiply sounds right then

[gusty iron]

OH MY GOD IT WORKS

[round lion]

i wish i could skip the redeemed animation for voucher.s

[gusty iron]

IT FUCKING WORKS

[loud summit]

hi how do you force draw more cards from deck

[gusty iron]

hand size

[loud summit]

isnt modifying hand size destructive

i just want it to draw more cards

[wispy falcon]

Shouldn't this destroy all cards in this area?

            for _, card in ipairs(G.cstorm_astro_card_area) do
                SMODS.destroy_cards(card)
            end
        end```

[daring fern]

SMODS.draw_cards(number)

[loud summit]

thanks

so if context.drawhand is triggered and the gamestate is shop its safe to say a pack was opened right

[daring fern]

No, because the game state would be G.STATES.SMODS_OPEN_BOOSTER

[daring fern]

SMODS.destroy_cards(G.cstorm_astro_card_area.cards)

[loud summit]

oh ok

also would it be safe to call draw_card in that instance

[winter flower]

im trying to make it so that when you enable this, a sound plays
how can i make that happen?

[wispy falcon]

Wait, why is #G.cstorm_astro_card_area always 0...?

[frosty rampart]

the cards should be in G.cstorm_astro_card_area.cards

[long sun]

what might have caused this crash?
