I FOUND IT

[wheat jewel]

Posted about this earlier but i need help figuring out how to make a joker give money if the volume of music is set to a specific level

if anyone has any pointers to mods that do something related to the sound settings, let me know

[charred widget]

I want to make a specific consumable effect a specific joker. How can i do that?

[frosty rampart]

that seems to be all fine, i assume you have a "dollars" value defined in the joker's extra table. if it's not working, what's the issue?

need more details than that (primarily, what's the intended effect)

paperback does something very similar (the "Stick" jokers give a certain amount xmult for each Stick joker you currently own), you may want to reference that. iirc the functions that are related to that set are in the utilities folder -> misc_functions.lua

[wild escarp]

How could I make a boss and finisher be the only blinds to show up, effectively removing all other blinds from the pool?

[frosty rampart]

step 1 is to hook the get_new_boss() function, if you want more help you'll have to explain what your goal is exactly

[lethal spindle]

Guys, I'm still asking this question

But where do I place this sort of code

Does it go in lib or smth?

[wheat jewel]

sorry for not seeing this, the effect of the joker is two things: giving xmult based on the music volume level, and giving $5 if the volume is set to a random value the joker specifies

[frosty rampart]

that wasn't directed at you

[frosty rampart]

this was

[lethal spindle]

Plz?

[frosty rampart]

it goes wherever code is loaded from in your mod, i.e. not in any other functions or object definitions

[wild escarp]

I'd just like to prevent any bosses other than one specific finisher and normal from spawning when a certain joker is owned. I know how to check if a certain joker is owned, but not the rest.

[lethal spindle]

So in something like Terminus.lua?

[azure flicker]

I want the probabilities to say 1 in 4, why does it say 4 in nil?

[lethal spindle]

#2# in #1# not #1# in #4#

[wheat jewel]

oh my fault

[frosty rampart]

ok yea hook get_new_boss(), check for if you have the joker, and if you do, check the ante. if it's divisible by 8, return the full name of the finisher blind (i.e. "bl_[mod prefix]_[blind key]". otherwise, return the full name of the regular blind.
if you don't have the joker, just return the old version of the function

[frosty rampart]

#X# gets the X'th value in the vars table that you return in loc_vars. so #1# is turning into 4 because that's the odds variable you returned in vars, and #2# is turning into nil because you never returned a second value in vars

[azure flicker]

well that solved half of the problem

[frosty rampart]

yea sure, i assume that's your main code file

[frosty rampart]

as i just explained you need to return the numerator in loc_vars too

[frosty rampart]

oh right i just remembered
if you want the probability to react to oops all 6s or any modded content that modifies probability, you need to interact with the smods probability API. check the release notes here for documentation on that https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0711a

[wheat jewel]

the issue is that the joker never gives money at all

despite me doing a check for the volume level being equal to a value that changes every blind

[azure flicker]

how do i do that?

[frosty rampart]

check the release notes here for documentation on that
(click the link i sent)

[azure flicker]

oh

[frosty rampart]

yea i dunno tbh. if you take the randomness out of it and leave the level at 100, does it still not give any money? everything looks right to me

[wheat jewel]

lemme try

[wheat jewel]

ok yeah generating a random number makes it not work

setting the level the music volume will be compared into a set number makes it work

so something about math.random doesn't make it work at all

if there is a solution to make it to where generating a random number another way will make it work i gotta find it

[frosty rampart]

tbh that doesn't make much sense; my hunch is maybe you just weren't checking the card's level properly? because you don't have a debug print for the card's level, but it is in the loc_vars. so i assume you don't have localization set up yet/it's set up improperly, because otherwise you'd see the value in the joker description and either match it properly or see that it's some weird decimal number or something

[wheat jewel]

lemme check on that thank you for letting me know

tried to debug print it but nothing gets returned in the debug menu

cuz the description inside the joker does change

but the comparison never procs for the joker

[wheat jewel]

This is how the loc_vars looks and the joker description too

[winter flower]

what are you trying to do here

are you trying to change extra.level to be a random value or

[wheat jewel]

yes i wanna set it to a random value between some value and 100

[winter flower]

pseudorandom?

i’m too tired to look at if it was pseudorandom_probability or pseudorandom

[wheat jewel]

i think it's psuedorandom

[wheat jewel]

could this work?

[winter flower]

i really shouldn’t be helping rn i need to sleep
try pseudorandom(“seed”, 1, odds)

[wheat jewel]

imma try that, also go to sleep

get yo rest

i tried to convert pseudorandom to a number since it's a table

[rocky osprey]

how do you make mod icons appear i believe this is common ball knowledge but idk

thanks aikoyori'sshenanigans i understand it now

[random flint]

Hi i am trying to make a Joker that uses Current Money as a Xmult and failing, if anyone knows how im messin it up, grately appreaciated im dumb as bricks :D

[daring fern]

G.GAME.dollars

[random flint]

ah

it still crashes

[random flint]

i switched self.abillity.money to that

just realised i left out line numbers

[daring fern]

G.GAME doesn't exist when the file is loaded.

[random flint]

could you explain with more detail, i am as stated, dumb as bricks

[daring fern]

G.GAME doesn't exist until the game starts up, which is after your file is loaded.

[random flint]

okay

so

how do i make the joker have their x_mult be based of current money

because if it crashes before i can get to the file

[daring fern]

return {mult = G.GAME.dollars*0.1}

[random flint]

oh wait now it works for some reason

what the hell

nevermind it's broken again

[random flint]

where should i put this? /gen

i'm guessing around line 91

[daring fern]

Yes.

[random flint]

okay, so like a hydra the errors won't die fix one and more will take it's place however main problem is gone so thank you.

main thing now is

is there a way to make it not say xnil here

and i mispelt guarantee

oops

[wheat jewel]

I recently updated my steammoded after not doing so for a couple months, and now the mod i'm developing is not compatible since i was developing it on an older version of smods

i tried to fix my probability statements for some jokers but that doesn't seem to work

idk what to do to fix my mod at this point

the error doesn't say any lines of code from my mod that could be causing this error

This is the version i had for months before updating it to the recent release from 2 years ago

I don't know what was changed that broke my mod, but i think imma just specify in a release that it only runs on that version because idk if i have the energy to overhaul all of my code to work on the latest release

[latent perch]

Do you have Talisman installed perchance?

[wheat jewel]

yes

why?

[latent perch]

that's a Talisman error

try updating it

[wheat jewel]

oh i see

lemme get on that

it's an older version of talisman too i think

[latent perch]

(In case you don't know already, Talisman makes it so you can't just write if x == 3 then ..., you'd need to write if to_big(x) == to_big(3) then ...) (I think)

[latent perch]

Try to update then ‼️ :) Defo could cause issues

[latent perch]

(This is specifically when x is one of the built-in values that Talisman changes, like Score, Dollars, etc.)

[wheat jewel]

i used to_number for some stuff i think

for dollar bonus calcs i think

[latent perch]

dunno the exact syntax, might work too

you should check the Talisman docs or somethin!

[wheat jewel]

i will

also should i change my probability statements since i never updated them after that one update that fixes probability displays

[daring fern]

No, == is fine.

[latent perch]

oh

well in that case just check whatever Talisman is up to

[wheat jewel]

updating talisman is working fine

i went ahead to update my pseudorandom stuff too from that one update

but now oops all 6s multiplies the probabilities by 4 instead of 2

for some reason

[daring fern]

Replace G.GAME.probabilities.normal with 1

[robust marsh]

How would I make a card eternal without the eternal sticker?

[daring fern]

if context.check_eternal then return {no_destroy = true} end

[robust marsh]

Beautiful, thank you

[wheat jewel]

gotcha

[wheat jewel]

like this?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wheat jewel]

What's the variable that is used for ingame sound effect volume level?

[robust marsh]

How would I make it so you can't continue the run after a win, similarly to how losses do it by graying out the continue button

[robust marsh]

remove_save() seems to have worked

[mystic river]

that's one option

[robust marsh]

yup, works just fine thankfully

[thorn basin]

How can I make an enhancement retrigger the adjacent cards?

[daring fern]

You would have to use the mod calculate

[thorn basin]

how so?

[daring fern]

if context.repetition and (context.cardarea == G.play or context.cardarea == 'unscored') and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'electro_card', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
    local retriggers = {}
    local my_pos
    for i, v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
        if v == context.other_card then
            my_pos = i
        end
        if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_modprefix_key') then
            if i > 1 then
                retriggers[i-1] = (retriggers[i-1] or 0) + 1
            end
            if i < #context.full_hand then
                retriggers[i+1] = (retriggers[i+1] or 0) + 1
            end
        end
    end
    if retriggers[my_pos] then
        return {repetitions = retriggers[my_pos]}
    end
end
```?

[thorn basin]

okay so, from what I see you made an array that stores the positions of the adjacent scoring cards relative to the electro card's position and at the end you made the repetitions activate in the adjacent cards from said array, am I right?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[thorn basin]

but this retriggers the cards with the same enhancement
Obviously i would the remove the check if the adjacent card has said enhancement but the return retriggers the card that has the enhancement and not the adjacent cards

[daring fern]

Could you send a video?

You don't want them to retrigger other cards with that enhancement?

[thorn basin]

aight, gimme a sec..

[umbral zodiac]

how can i make a card have absolutely no tilting from ambient or hover

[daring fern]

Hook Sprite:draw_shader, and set _no_tilt to true?

[umbral zodiac]

oh ty

[thorn basin]

I wanna make that this enhancement retriggers the adjacent cards (and not the card with the enhancement itself):

[daring fern]

That's what it does.

[robust marsh]

this turns out to be affecting every single joker if the specified joker is present

[daring fern]

Yes, you would check context.other_card

[robust marsh]

ah

mb, thank you

[thorn basin]

well, not really...

[wintry solar]

You need to put that calculate function as your mod calculate function not the enhancement

[thorn basin]

as my mod, calculate function?
I'm not sure but what does this mean?
is there any info in the documentation about this?

[daring fern]

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

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/discussions/919

[real crown]

How can I make the fill-up Joker for a rarity pool something other than Jimbo?
Like if the Jokers run out of that pool, the Joker given by me will be the one always offered?

[slim ferry]

you would have to create an objecttype with all jokers of that rarity and then create them from that objecttype instead

[daring fern]

Hook get_current_pool

[slim ferry]

oh get current pool handles defaults too? interesting

[real crown]

Thank you, I'll look into how to do that, unsure about hooks

Or is there a reference/source I could use?

[slim ferry]

vanillaremade has a thing about hooks
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-hook

[real crown]

Thank you!

[thorn basin]

alright but now the game gives me error cuz "card" from the pseudorandom probability doesn't exist, should I substitute it with something else?

[slim ferry]

replace it with self, would imagine

[thorn basin]

aight

oh

[daring fern]

You need to change it to G.P_CENTERS.m_modprefix_key.config.extra.odds

[thorn basin]

ok so, I was NOT expecting the message on the deck but... I guess it works now!

[slim ferry]

deck is the default for anything without a defined message_card

<@&1133519078540185692>

kill

thanks mods

[thorn basin]

ah so I must put in the return a defined message, right?

[daring fern]

If you wanted the message to be on the card it was retriggered by it would take a lot more work.

[thorn basin]

oh, I see

[slim ferry]

not really, right? you could just use similar logic to blueprint finding the card to the right

[thorn basin]

(actually wouldn't it just like to put a probability check in the calculate function of the enhancement and put a return message whenever the probability triggers?

[daring fern]

No.

[thorn basin]

ah

[robust marsh]

how would I make it so you can pick up a specific joker from the shop, even if you don't have enough space for it

similarly to how negative does it

[daring fern]

Hook G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space

[robust marsh]

ty

[slim ferry]

wouldnt something like this work

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
    for i = 1, #G.play.cards do
      if G.play.cards[i] == card then my_pos = i end
    end
    if context.other_card == G.play.cards[my_pos-1] or context.other_card == G.play.cards[my_pos+1] and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "<seed>", 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
      return { repetitions = 1 }
    end
  end
end

why is it so close together wtf

[daring fern]

No, you can't retrigger other cards from a card.

If you could, red seal would retrigger every playing card.

[random flint]

Hi, Xnil is confusing, i've seen it in a bunch of different posts from different versions, my code is below specifically for the joker with the xnil problem, when it triggers the right value appears underneath it too

[wintry solar]

What’s this for? There’s likely a cleaner way of doing this

[shell timber]

you need to set the x_mult value in config to something

actually what is going on

[random flint]

so

[slim ferry]

x_mult = <value>

in your config

[shell timber]

why is it 0+G.GAME.dollars?

[random flint]

the joker gives mult based on the amount of money

divided by 10

the 0 was there incase it needed a number to just hav ea number

it's not really needed

[slim ferry]

most xmult starts at 1 is i think what they mean

[random flint]

no it starts at 0

[shell timber]

it should probably be 1+

[slim ferry]

i said

most xmult

[random flint]

it's bad if you got no money

[shell timber]

okay. im assuming your xnil issue is the jokers description showing currently xnil?

[slim ferry]

well anyway

[random flint]

yes

getting

[slim ferry]

the loc_vars just arent set up correctly

[random flint]

visuals

[random flint]

mhm

[slim ferry]

you dont have a card.ability.extra.x_mult

you have a card.ability.extra[1] with the same value as the nonexistent global x_mult so its just nil

[random flint]

o

[slim ferry]

you would just want to do the same calculation for the xmult effect in the loc_vars

vars = { (G.GAME.dollars or 0)*0.1 }

[random flint]

:O

oh it works

thank you

i did not really understand how loc_vars worked

now i do

thanks

[slim ferry]

you probably also dont need the config since you arent using it anywhere

[random flint]

ta

[robust marsh]

Quest joker of sorts, it allows you to go on an "alt path" when you are holding it.

I'm using this for it right now and it seems to be working fine

local old_check_for_buy_space = G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space
function G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space(card)
    if
        card.config and card.config.center and card.config.center.key == "j_tdec_photoquestion"
    then
        return true
    end
    return old_check_for_buy_space(card)
end

[slim ferry]

couldnt you just always make it spawn as negative or smth

[robust marsh]

I could but it would just look really bad

this feels cleaner

[wintry solar]

You can give it extra_slots_used = -1 in its config too

If it’s intended to not really take up a slot

[robust marsh]

would I still have to keep

    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
    end,

    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit - 1
    end,

in that case

[wintry solar]

Otherwise it only has this negative like property when you already have full slots

No you can remove all that

[robust marsh]

alright, thank you

yeah that worked perfectly, thank you a lot

[dapper sun]

going back to this,, may try to find a way to put the upgrade button on the left instead

[robust marsh]

how exactly could I make the screen continuously shake, if that is even possible

[hidden mirage]

whats the correlation between sound filenames and keys

[dapper sun]

there isn't rly one afaik, keys aren't tied to filenames

[hidden mirage]

sure, do you know of a list of keys for sounds somewhere

[round lion]

is there any way to skip having to actually redeem the vouchers

[dapper sun]

nope, sorry :p

i'm surprised the smods documentation doesn't have one tbh, since it has a whole page about text styling

[distant junco]

whats the hands equivalent to ease_discard?

[robust marsh]

wdym

[daring fern]

They are the same for vanilla sounds.

[robust marsh]

ease_hands_played

[distant junco]

thnaks

[robust marsh]

[round lion]

im trying to make a blind autoredeem a voucher for purposes of not being limited to blind hooks, and im pretty sure it will be too flow ruining if i leave the animation in

how do i skip it and spawn a voucher as redeemed

[daring fern]

Card.apply_to_run(nil, G.P_CENTERS.v_modprefix_key)

[hidden mirage]

thanks

[round lion]

thanks eternally.

[real crown]

Why does the ... part keep triggering when I sell the Joker? It should only trigger when it's destroyed

        if not context.selling_self and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.destroyedstate = true
        else
            card.ability.extra.destroyedstate = false
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end,

    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        if card.ability.extra.destroyedstate == true then
             ...
        end
    end```

[slim ferry]

because remove_from_deck happens after context.selling_self is calculated iirc

at least not at the same time

[real crown]

Can I put a context.selling_self inside remove_from_deck?

[slim ferry]

no, that would have the same issue as i just said

also context isnt passed into remove_from_deck anyway

so it would just crash from trying to index a nil value

[real crown]

Is there a context for card being destroyed and not sold?

[slim ferry]

you should just set the state here to false when selling it

and not set it back to true anywhere because thats pointless

[real crown]

Oh right, good point

[still cedar]

Why this error appear explain please

[real crown]

Thank you!

[slim ferry]

you have 2 extra ends

you dont need an end for every single line of the if statement

which is what you presumably did

[still cedar]

Thanks

[hidden mirage]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'jackpot', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
                table.insert(card.ability.extra.cards_to_enhance, _card)
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        card:juice_up() 
                        return true
                    end
                }))
            end
        end
        if context.after then
            for _, card in pairs(card.ability.extra.cards_to_enhance) do
                card:set_ability(pseudorandom_element(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Enhanced, 'jackpot1'), nil, true)```
how come cards that will becoe stone in the after context get defaced (turn blank) beforeafter even happens? how can i prevent this

[distant junco]

does anyone know the shop rate of normal tarots?

[cursive gazelle]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/6be947404f1c2f8f90472d873d79eb98f0d47ad5/src/tarots.lua#L9

[distant junco]

god damn it i thought it would be there but i didnt check

woe is me

[rocky osprey]

four

[distant junco]

four what

its a decimal isnt it?

[cursive gazelle]

Shop_rate=4

[distant junco]

oh i thought it had to be between 0 and 1 okay

[rocky osprey]

it's not colors man

in fact you can set the rate to 100000 and it still works

[round lion]

will i have to paste in the unmodified parts of calculation if i take ownership of a blind.

[distant junco]

actually i will not answer since i dont know

[real crown]

                key = "j_head",
                stickers = card.stickers,
                force_stickers = true,
                edition = card.edition
            }```
Transferring the edition works, but for some reason it doesn't work with stickers, any idea?

[cursive gazelle]

You don’t have to

[round lion]

so it doesnt overwrite the calculation part if i add it in?

[cursive gazelle]

Check invis or ankh code

[cursive gazelle]

What do you want to do exactly

[real crown]

Thank you!

[round lion]

this is leaving me confused.

[real crown]

Just checked, neither of them do anything with sitckers

They just copy the card itself

[cursive gazelle]

Use copy instead of doing every value manually

[cursive gazelle]

Try and find out

[real crown]

So I copy the card to have the sticker and the edition, and then change the copied Joker to the Joker I want?

[round lion]

s mods documentation is leaving me conflicted rn with what your saying

[cursive gazelle]

Oh You want to add a joker that has the same sticker as another joker

And edition

[real crown]

Yes

Joker A spawns Joker B with same stickers and edition

[cursive gazelle]

Hmmmm

[real crown]

Although actually stickers might not be important, I'm fine with just having the edition, and that part works

[cursive gazelle]

Can you do print of the stickers of one joker with .stickers in the console

Tho if it didn’t exist it would say nil

[real crown]

When I tried it didn't crash, it just didn't copy the sticker

[cursive gazelle]

Print it

And see if it returns a table of stickers

[hidden mirage]

difference between returning Xmult_mod and xmult?

[thorn basin]

how can I make a function for a voucher that makes the booster packs from the shop cost 1$ less?

[cursive gazelle]

xmult is xmult Xmult_mod is something else

[cursive gazelle]

Take ownership and set cost to cost-1

[slim ferry]

Xmult_mod has no automatic message or sound

[thorn basin]

how can I take the ownership?

[slim ferry]

you would hook card:set_cost for discounting specific stuff

[hidden mirage]

ok thankyou

[thorn basin]

aight

[slim ferry]

this wont work for a voucher

because that just always changes the cost

[cursive gazelle]

When entering a shop

[slim ferry]

wdym

[cursive gazelle]

Nvm

I misunderstood

[hidden mirage]

{
    cardarea = G.jokers, -- G.hand, (G.deck and G.discard optionally enabled)
    buying_card = true,
    card = self -- the card being bought
}```"card = self -- the card being bought" is this meant to be used for juggler and other jokers like that or for a scaling joker for example

[slim ferry]

its just meant for jokers that trigger on buying another cards

for passive effects like juggler use add_to_deck since that triggers when the card is added in any way

[cursive gazelle]

And remove_from_deck to counter change

[hidden mirage]

sure, i dont get how 'self' can refer to the card being bought though

[slim ferry]

well the context is calculated in the method for buying a card

and in that method, self is the card being purchased

[hidden mirage]

👍

[slim ferry]

also if it says its the card being bought it probably actually is the card being bought

[thorn basin]

where can I see which G.GAME is for vouchers?

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.used_vouchers is the vouchers that have been purchased in the run

[thorn basin]

wait no

[slim ferry]

so it would be G.GAME.used_vouchers.<voucher key>

[thorn basin]

sorry

I meant booster packs

[slim ferry]

in the hook you would check if self.ability.set == "Booster"

i think

[cursive gazelle]

[slim ferry]

horse

[thorn basin]

but what would I put inside the check?
that's why I was asking for the G.GAME for boosters

[slim ferry]

wdym the G.GAME for boosters

[thorn basin]

inside the check how can I modify the cost of booster packs?

[slim ferry]

i mean idk, i imagine set cost returns a number so you could run the original function first and then try to subtract the output by 1 in the check

and if it doesnt then. idk

[hidden mirage]

how to get the key of a shop item, because rn im using card.key but it seems to be unique between two mercurys for instance

[slim ferry]

card.config.center.key

[hidden mirage]

local id = card.config.center.key
            if not Table_contains(card.ability.extra.cards, id) then
                card.ability.extra.cards[#card.ability.extra.cards+1] = id
                card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain
                return{
                    message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
                }
            end```it only scales once ::(

[still cedar]

How to merge these if into one? As I understand it, if this is not done, the second if will not work

[slim ferry]

use SMODS.scale_card so you dont have to return
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/discussions/919 this has some thing about it

alternatively you could replace the returns with SMODS.calculate_effect({<return table>}, card)

[slim ferry]

what does the entire calculate look like

[hidden mirage]

earlier with an id of card.key it was scaling up every time i bought a card but the whole unique thing didnt work

[slim ferry]

its context.card, card is the joker itself

[hidden mirage]

jesus yeah nvm!

how to get suit

[slim ferry]

.base.suit

[round lion]

whats the steamodded page for custom badges?

[slim ferry]

also for rank just use card:get_id()

[hidden mirage]

id = context.card:get_id()..context.card.base.suitonly triggers once for first playing card, every one after that nothing

[slim ferry]

yeah because its also checking for the key i assume

which is the same for all base playing cards

[hidden mirage]

            if card.is_playing_card then
                id = context.card:get_id()..context.card.base.suit
            else
                id = context.card.config.center.key
            end
            if not Table_contains(card.ability.extra.cards, id) then
                card.ability.extra.cards[#card.ability.extra.cards+1] = id
            end```shouldnt be

[slim ferry]

hm thats

yeah idk

[hidden mirage]

its intentional now i guess

[slim ferry]

does G.GAME.starting_deck_size get changed automatically or do i have to manually change it if i change the starting deck size?

[round lion]

when is it unnecessary to store a variable into config extra?

by that i mean put it in config = {} outside extra

[slim ferry]

generally stuff outside extra is only for values that are automatically used

from anything outside of extra only specific variable names get stored also

[red flower]

not true

everything gets saved

[slim ferry]

wha

i cant believe smods docs would lie to me wtf

[still cedar]

How to make any inscription appear when this is triggered (for example, reduce or downgrade)

[violet void]

Is anyone able to tell where to specify where achievement's names and descriptions go on loc file? Prefix a_ doesn't work either

smods wiki location doesn't work

[wheat jewel]

How can i make a joker check if another joker is eternal, tried using the context and smods method but it doesn't work

[slim ferry]

theyre in the correct place

the key is wrong

achievements dont have a class prefix

[violet void]

I tried both with and without class prefix

[slim ferry]

hm

try ach_<modprefix>_<key>

[violet void]

that worked, thanks! 🫶🏽

[still cedar]

guys

[wheat jewel]

bump

[slim ferry]

context.other_joker and context.check_eternal are never calculated at the same time

context.check_eternal is for manipulating eternal properties in SMODS.is_eternal

[wheat jewel]

oh i see

how can i check if another joker is eternal

[slim ferry]

SMODS.is_eternal

like you did there

[wheat jewel]

like this

[slim ferry]

also that trigger is supposed to be replaced with the card running the check

so card here

also other_card doesnt exist there

other_joker already is the card

[wheat jewel]

i did this and got a crash

[still cedar]

How to add an ability Xchips

[slim ferry]

you can just return xchips = <number>

just like xmult

[slim ferry]

what is the crash

[cursive gazelle]

Is this a joker code or something else?

[normal crest]

try other_joker instead of other_card

[still cedar]

If you meant to add a variable Xchips, it doesn't work.

[slim ferry]

return

as in

put it in the return table

[wheat jewel]

yes

[cursive gazelle]

Can you show the full code

[still cedar]

Like this?

[wheat jewel]

this is the full thing

[slim ferry]

im pretty sure it should be xchips with a lowercase x

hold on

this is all the scoring returns

[normal crest]

@wheat jewel

[cursive gazelle]

Try other_joker instead of other_card

[wheat jewel]

lemme try that

[cursive gazelle]

Why are you returning center in loc_vars btw

Shouldn’t you return card

[slim ferry]

i literally just told you to do that already 😭

[still cedar]

Xmult works with big X

[normal crest]

That's just the name of the parameter they chose

[slim ferry]

look at the image i sent

[cursive gazelle]

Mhm

[still cedar]

Okay thanks

[wheat jewel]

my badddd

[cursive gazelle]

What is reading

Does find_card work only for jokers ?

[wheat jewel]

it worked!

[normal crest]

For consumables too

Wrong message to reply to tho

[cursive gazelle]

Does it not work for playing cards in hand ?

I guess i’ll just do a for loop

[normal crest]

no, by default it searches jokers, consumables and vouchers

[round lion]

do i need to add the mod prefix for keys in scripts within the same mod

[slim ferry]

wdym by that

[red flower]

hiii srockw

[cursive gazelle]

For example if you’re adding a card with SMODS.add_card you’ll need to add the mode prefix like j_modprefix_jkey if it’s vanilla you’ll just type the vanilla key ,

So yes

[floral marsh]

is there a function to force-play a specific hand after the main hand has been drawn
I maybe found it blind:press_play() or G.func and smth there?

[wheat jewel]

does anyone know what the variable for sound effects volume is called?

[daring fern]

G.FUNCS.play_cards_from_highlighted()

[floral marsh]

yeah thanks I had figured it out while looking at the hook blind remake

[prisma loom]

Hey, folks. Is #1209506514763522108 the right place to make a "Recruitment" thread?

I'm currently looking for coders and wonder what is the better way to do it

[rotund sable]

Good start is recruiting yourself

[prisma loom]

Well, ofc Im doing it myself

wdym?

[slim ferry]

people generally arent going to join you in anything if you havent made anything at all

[prisma loom]

I already made all required sprites for the mod

Mod is already out actually but only half of the content

I just need some of that coding magic to finish the rest

[slim ferry]

you should probably make a post for it in https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209506514763522108 if you havent yet

[prisma loom]

that's what Im asking

if that's the right place to recruit folks

[slim ferry]

idk youll probably find people

but i meant like just a post for your mod in general so people will even find it in the first place

[rotund sable]

No code is magic 🪄

Generally if you have any problems you can ask here

[slim ferry]

also that yeaj

tbh i feel like ive seen that dice voucher before

[prisma loom]

I've invested my skill points into pixel art so I'm not very eager to learn coding especially after prior having multiple attempts at it

not my thing at all

especially when there's absolutely no adequate tutorial

for coding toddlers

it always like:
step 1 - here's how to make resprite mod
step 2 - here's how to make a simple mult joker
step 3 - ... there's no step 3, everything complex go figure yourself

[modern kindle]

Well there are definitely resources to help
Vanilla remade is a huge help for beginners and non beginners
It has a great wiki and shows you how to do a good few things by example

[rotund sable]

I see tutorial hell mindset

But maybe that's just me

[modern kindle]

Also greetings farmer

[rotund sable]

Hello Dilly o/

[quick scarab]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/pull/28

[obtuse silo]

this isn't removing the face cards from the deck in the challenge

[rotund sable]

Yeah VanillaRemade is a godsend

[prisma loom]

Yes and for good reason. I dont feel great when I have to spend hours to squeeze small drops of crucial info from some random ass resource just to make an X little thing for my mod

it's pure insanity

[modern kindle]

Try 13, 12, 11 maybe?
I haven't looked at how decks have cards set up yet but maybe those ids

[obtuse silo]

vanillaRemade says otherwise

[modern kindle]

Oh ic

[prisma loom]

When it came out?

[rotund sable]

Abandoned deck in VanillaRemade:
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/backs.lua#L251

[modern kindle]

I dont remember when it came out but its been around for awhile
@red flower made it

[rotund sable]

Oh damn I'm late again

Mobile sucks

I'm also stupid

Because deck != Challenge

[rotund sable]

Wiki is very detailed https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Challenge

[obtuse silo]

i'm using the wiki
i just used VanillaRemade to find out how i need to format it

[red flower]

this is wrong

ill fix it

[modern kindle]

Hi N

[red flower]

hewwo

[obtuse silo]

ah
yeah i was kind of weirded out that you put 'T' for mad world's "no_ranks" listing considering that you have Ten and Three

[red flower]

no thats correct

T is the card_key for ten

3 is the one for 3

[obtuse silo]

odd

so what exactly is still causing the face cards to appear in my challenge deck

[red flower]

that the no_ranks is wrong i think

im trying to figure out whats the correct format

[brittle yacht]

anybody know how to do the emojis like in tangents?

i went diggin through and couldnt find anything

[red flower]

@lament agate

[lament agate]

i forgot

jk

[brittle yacht]

lol

[lament agate]

so

hold on

[cursive gazelle]

I think it’s with SMODS.Font

[maiden phoenix]

Careful Nxkoo I'm watching

[lament agate]

1. download font with emojis in it (i.e NotoEmoji)
2. put that in your mods folder (Mods/assets/fonts)
3. define the font in your main.lua like

SMODS.Font({
    key = 'COCKS',
    path = 'fonts/COCKS.ttf',
    render_scale = 200,         -- Base size in pixels (default: 200)
    TEXT_HEIGHT_SCALE = 0.83,   -- Line spacing (default: 0.83)
    TEXT_OFFSET = {x = 0, y = 0}, -- Alignment tweak (default: {0,0})
    FONTSCALE = 0.1,            -- Scale multiplier (default: 0.1)
    squish = 1,                 -- Horizontal stretch (default: 1)
    DESCSCALE = 1               -- Description scale (default: 1)
})

4. apply the font in your loc_txt or localization files (i.e {f:thefontkey})

loc_txt = {
    name = "{f:custom_font}Dawg",
    text = {
        "I just lost my,",
        "{f:COCKS}Dawg{}"  -- Uses Balatro's default font index 5 (Noto JP)
    }
}

[brittle yacht]

holy

i did not expect a wall of text

[wild escarp]

Could anyone point me in the right direction for doing some cryptid compatibility?

[lament agate]

im a GOOD modder

[brittle yacht]

thanks twin

[maiden phoenix]

You're no longer new? They grow up so fast

[lament agate]

AND NEW

[lament agate]

sdiybt

[brittle yacht]

tuff

[lament agate]

i know
;3

[red flower]

it should be like this

(obviously remove the ace and ten)

[obtuse silo]

I see
thank you

[brittle yacht]

hah!

has an error!!! >:D

    name = "{f:custom_font}Dawg",
    text = {
        "I just lost my,",
        "{f:COCKS}Dawg{}"  -- Uses Balatro's default font index 5 (Noto JP)
    }
}```

missed an equal sign

[red flower]

?

[obtuse silo]

what

[brittle yacht]

i just put it in

[red flower]

yeah, why

[brittle yacht]

at "loc_txt = {"

its supposed to be ==

[red flower]

no

== is for equality not assignment

[brittle yacht]

VSC is so ahh

[cursive gazelle]

Blaming vsc is crazy

[red flower]

you probably put it in the wrong place and thats why it got confused

[brittle yacht]

it said that was an error twin

😭

[slim ferry]

yes thats why you probably put it in the wrong place

because that shouldnt give an error

[brittle yacht]

well it did

sorry guys

[cursive gazelle]

[brittle yacht]

im gonna go outside now

how in the world do i add a credits tab

im geeked af

[lament agate]

im SO sorry

[wide chasm]

bump

[brittle yacht]

for

[slim ferry]

step 1: learn ui 😨

[brittle yacht]

[prisma loom]

Might sound like a dumb question but where do I find assests?

[brittle yacht]

is this your first time

[prisma loom]

I swear I saw them before

[prisma loom]

no

that's why Im asking

[brittle yacht]

ya gotta go to the other thing

appdata

not steamapps

[cursive gazelle]

Game assets ?

Or mod assets

[brittle yacht]

wait i might be geeked

[prisma loom]

game assests

x1 x2

folders

I cant find them

[tranquil cypress]

you can extract the exe and it'll have the balatro folder with all the stuff inside

[cursive gazelle]

If you’re looking for the base game assets then >create a folder and extract the balatro.exe into it

[wispy falcon]

What is saved = 'ph_mr_bones' for?

[prisma loom]

yeah that

[cursive gazelle]

And you’ll find them under resources folder

[prisma loom]

I forgot the process

I reinstalled bala

lost the folders

ic ic

found it

thx

[wispy falcon]

Nevermind, found it

[quick kraken]

Has localthunk said anything about 1.1 and old mod versions compatibility?

[brittle yacht]

where is this coming from?

[wispy falcon]

Someone know how to change the Jimbo on the Game Over Screen?

[slender bay]

fair warning I am a bit of a dumbass, but I am trying to get this to work but I'm not sure how, I'm trying to make it so every time an ant is added to the deck it adds 0.5 xmult

[slim ferry]

so like abstract but ants?

if so have a look at https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua

[wispy falcon]

bump

[slender bay]

kinda but there's only a few certain jokers that will trigger it

[slim ferry]

so abstract but specific i see

well you probably wont want to use add/remove_from_deck and instead just count the amount of eligible jokers in the calculate directly

[slender bay]

so what would that look like?

[rotund sable]

JimboQuip?

[wispy falcon]

Is that what it's called?

[rotund sable]

I think so

Never used that tho

[slim ferry]

local amt = 0
for _, joker in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    if joker.config.center.key == "<key of an elegible joker>" then
        amt = amt + 1
    end
end
return { xmult = 1 + 0.5*amt }

[wispy falcon]

Do you know if it's documented somewhere?

[rotund sable]

I believe it was somewhat documented in some release notes

[slim ferry]

alternatively you could get the count of each individual joker with #SMODS.find_card("<key>", true)

[wispy falcon]

In the newest release it seems

[split saddle]

removing cards directly from the deck (using SMODS.destroy_cards) makes new cards not show up in the deck, is there any way to fix it?

[slender bay]

are you using context.destroy_card?

[split saddle]

no
i want to destroy an amount of cards equal to the cards added to the deck

so i'm doing it during card_added

[slender bay]

pretty sure your still supposed to use context.destroy_card in that case

[knotty steppe]

idk what this means

[split saddle]

then i'll store the amount of cards in the joker, right?

[robust marsh]

how would I make a specific blind show its name and text both as "???", but reveal them once you enter the blind?

[cursive gazelle]

Dynatxt

[knotty steppe]

i tried making seprete lua files for jokers

[robust marsh]

never worked with that before actually

[cursive gazelle]

Did you use assert and SMODS.Load_file ?

To load them

[cursive gazelle]

Check misprint code

[robust marsh]

alrighty

tysm

: )

[cursive gazelle]

Im on phone

[knotty steppe]

so you need the raw text

local files = {
"lib/smods.",
"items/joker/Button",
"items/joker/Swapbot"
}
for i, v in pairs(files) do
assert(SMODS.load_file(v..".lua"))()
end

[robust marsh]

oh yeah also Idk if you saw this in modding chat but I want to show you something we've been working on in a bit as a short snippet

[cursive gazelle]

Show me

[cursive gazelle]

Should work

[knotty steppe]

but it crashes on start

[cursive gazelle]

Try ipairs instead of pairs

[split saddle]

changed the context to destroy during context.destroy_card and didn't change anything

am i doing something wrong?

[knotty steppe]

nope

[rotund sable]

Does the joker have a custom rarity

[split saddle]

the event is there so that it doesn't destroy the cards immediately after adding (if you have your whole deck in hand you can't tell when/what gets destroyed)

[knotty steppe]

that might be it

[rotund sable]

And if so is it loaded before the joker

[knotty steppe]

it works now thx

now it crashes when i try to view the atlas

[rotund sable]

What's the crash?

[knotty steppe]

i knwo why

i just dont have a atls :P

or not

can i not add smods.atlas in ther joker.lua

[rotund sable]

As long as it's loaded it should work

And the keys match

[split saddle]

bump

[knotty steppe]

it is before the smods.joker

[rotund sable]

Why are you specifying atlas in atlas

[still cedar]

How to make any inscription appear when this is triggered (for example, reduce or downgrade)

[knotty steppe]

because my brain is dying trying to make this work

[split saddle]

return {message = 'your message'} ?

[knotty steppe]

anytime the joker would appear on screen the game crashed

[still cedar]

Thanks

[rotund sable]

So I assume the atlas it's trying to access is undefined

Meaning the keys probably don't match

[knotty steppe]

ive made progress

[rotund sable]

Is the pos defined correctly

[rotund sable]

It starts at 0,0 btw

[robust marsh]

I have absolutely 0 clue what I'm doing also yeah i'll send u the snippet of the thing one momenf

[wispy falcon]

What is the center of a custom consumable?

[knotty steppe]

now only the second one shows up

[split saddle]

nvm i was thinking of something else xd

[rotund sable]

If it's black it's probably out of the image

[knotty steppe]

but its the same image and same size

[rotund sable]

?

[knotty steppe]

the name is diffrent but the image itself is identical between the two

[rotund sable]

So the pos and the atlas should be the same

[knotty steppe]

but i plan to later make them diffrent

thier the same while i get them funcitonly working

the correctly sidplaying joker is at 0,0
the other is at 1,0

[dapper sun]

how do i add a card button on the left of the card (like the use/sell buttons)

[rotund sable]

[real night]

how do you do stuff for retriggering jokers

[frosty rampart]

enable the "retrigger_joker" optional feature, and then return repetitions = number during context.retrigger_joker_check (where "number" is the number of times you want to retrigger the joker)

during retrigger_joker_check, context.other_card is the joker being checked to potentially retrigger, context.other_context is the context that that joker triggered in, and context.other_ret is what that joker returned

[split saddle]

bump

[real night]

how do i do that first part

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#what-are-optional-features

[wispy falcon]

Why does SMODS.JimboQuip not work for me?

[frosty rampart]

elaborate on "not work"

[wispy falcon]

It just doesn't show up, no matter how high I put the rarity

[dapper sun]

anyone know how? i tried and i just ended up with this instead

[split saddle]

bump

[wispy falcon]

It just showed up but why is it not guaranteed when I set the rarity extremely high?

And how do I change the center to a custom center?

[violet void]

by any chance do you know if I can set an order for the achievements in the list?

[slim ferry]

you mean in-game?

[violet void]

yes

[slim ferry]

order of anything in-game is decided by the order in which the objects are created in your mod

[dapper sun]

for modded achievements, i'd assume that it's like other modded assets in that its order comes from the order they're initialized in code

[slim ferry]

yeah

so you gotta swap them around to change the order

[violet void]

I wanted to avoid making these achievements individually but I guess I can't order them this way even using ipairs ;-;

[slim ferry]

ipairs SHOULD do the order of the table tho

thats wierd

[scarlet lion]

Can someone help me test my mod? I don't have anyone to test but myself :(

[slow lotus]

i made a mod, but it doesnt show up on the mods menu (still shows up on bmm)

[slim ferry]

what does your metadata file look like?

[rotund sable]

Yeah sounds like an invalid metadata

[slow lotus]

i filled everything correctly

[slim ferry]

can you show the file

[prisma loom]

Fingers crossed🤞 ✨

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1416865490617503905

[slim ferry]

the art looks amazing so youll definitely get some attention i imagine

[prisma loom]

hope so

[slim ferry]

also shill your mod in #⚙・modding-general that helps a lot (assuming its already downloadable)

[prisma loom]

XD

sure

[slow lotus]

this is metadata

[slim ferry]

oh its joker forge i see

best to ask joker forge discord then

[slim ferry]

people shill their mods constantly when anyone asks for mod suggestions, its basically the standard lmao

also i should see some of the ideas if some of them look relatively simple to code

[cursive gazelle]

Sure lol

[violet void]

I tried another way and its still random, Im guessing its the way smods is looping them at this point

[red flower]

it seems to use pairs

maybe try using order?

[robust marsh]

errrr r r how would i manually call the blind defeat function? Because with my current setup i have multiple blinds that are supposed to appear instantly after one another

and defeat never triggers

[faint yacht]

G.GAME.blind:defeat()?

[frosty rampart]

referencing endless entropy from entropy is probably a good idea
(i think? i've never actually seen it in action, but i'm pretty sure it's what you want)

[violet void]

awesome, it worked :D

[robust marsh]

isent in dms (in case u hav them muted)

[slim ferry]

is there any point to returning card = card in a joker?

[wintry solar]

No

[wispy falcon]

How would I count seconds in a consumable?

[slim ferry]

how does defining a function as operation for scale_card work?

[frosty rampart]

the whole "operation = function(..." goes inside the scale_card function call
it's like the function when you're adding an event, if you've done anything with that before

[robust marsh]

yeah i tried that and realized calling blind defeat fucks up everything, i'm just gonna try something else

[tranquil cypress]

you mean like this? what I did was basically in the update function where i made a button, for the config which changes the button's position i made it like this:
config = { align = 'cr', offset = { x = -3.3, y = -0.6 }, parent = card }

[dapper sun]

dw abt it i just squished them

[tranquil cypress]

nice!

[mellow thunder]

I'm trying to make a joker subtract a maximum amount of money when a boss blind is defeated, and never set the player's money to a negative number. It works fine by itself, but if I have a duplicate of the same joker the second one always subtracts the same amount of money as the first, even if it puts the player's money in the negatives. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? I'm trying to use the money buffer thing but idk if I need to change it for subtracting money, or if it even helps at all. If there's a simple way to make only the first joker charge money that would work too. I'm also looking for a way to hide the "-money" message that pops up if possible. (card.ability.extra.deduction is the same number as card.ability.extra.dollars except it's negative)

[wispy falcon]

How do I fix it so that it automatically gives the dollar every 10 seconds rather than when I interact with something?

        if self.config.timer >= 10 then
            self.config.timer = 0
            return{
                dollars = self.config.dollars
            }
        end
    end,```

[faint yacht]

ease_dollars(amount)

[wispy falcon]

Where does that go?

[rotund sable]

instead of the return i assume

[wispy falcon]

Okay, that still does the same

[frosty rampart]

it needs to be in an update function instead of a calculate function

[rotund sable]

then not the calculate function

[frosty rampart]

the calculate function only runs when you interact with things

[wispy falcon]

That works, thank y'all :3

card.seal == "Name" doesnt work

[frosty rampart]

use debugplus, hover over a card with the seal, and run eval dp.hovered.seal in the console to see what the string is. it's probably something of the form "modprefix_Name"

[red cradle]

thanks

[faint yacht]

Those are usually it, yeah... my Seal^2 would be toga_sealseal, for example.

[red cradle]

yae i find it

[dapper sun]

does anyone know why my joker's effect isn't working? it should make steel cards and slime cards act as both enhancements but nothing's happening

[slim ferry]

do you have quantum enhancements enabled

[dapper sun]

oh

[slim ferry]

also dont use SMODS.get_enhancements in context.check_enhancements

thats like

waiting for a stack overflow

[dapper sun]

i didn't know it was an optional feature

[dapper sun]

how should i check instead then

[slim ferry]

context.other_card.config.center.key == "m_steel" or context.other_card.config.center.key == "m_slime"

[dapper sun]

ty

[slim ferry]

yeah its a bit bad for performance because of how often the context is called so they made it an optional feature

[dapper sun]

i see

it's still not working

[wild escarp]

How could I make a single joker less common within a given set? I've made them all one rarity, removed them from the pool, and only spawn them within a booster pack. I'd like one of them to spawn less often than others though, like the soul or black hole. I tried adding them to an ObjectType to spawn them from that instead, but when adding an entry in rarities for the one joker, the game ends up crashing, what could I be doing wrong?

[wintry solar]

m_slime isn't your key

you need m_modprefix_slime

[dapper sun]

oh i see the problem

i was looking for m_elle_slime but it was still stored as m_elle_slimed

bc i forgot to save me changing that

...i was also checking for stone cards instead of steel 😭

i may have stupid

[feral tree]

is it possible to make certain boss blinds exclusive to a certain deck?

[slim ferry]

Yes, you would use the blind's in_pool for that

[feral tree]

is there a shortcut for making a blind exclusive to decks from the same mod or do i have to put each one in manually?

[slim ferry]

Objects have their original mod stored so you could use that

Idk how you'd get to it for a deck though

[ocean sinew]

check G.GAME.selected_back

[winter flower]

how do i make it so that a stake has to be unlocked by gold stake

and also how do i make it so that showdown antes appear every 2 antes

[round lion]

did you add gold stake into appied stakes

*applied

[feral tree]

so G.GAME.selected_back.config.center.pools.MOD_ID?

[round lion]

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

and i dont really know about pools well to awnser the second one.

[feral tree]

something totally-ish different i need to know

how can i get an event to detect when you enter the shop?

i know i can just have it detect a global varible and have it be turned on somewhere else when the shop is entered

but is there an easier way to do so?

[loud summit]

hey does the "name" field in the SMODS.joker call actually matter

since its going to be overwritten by localization/en-us

[red flower]

G.STATE == G.STATES.SHOP ?

[red flower]

no

[round lion]

only if you dont have a localization lua

[loud summit]

so i can just leave it off with no consequences?

oke good

[red flower]

also not true

the name field doesnt do anything

[loud summit]

oh

is it just there for the coder to have a readable name?

[red flower]

well, i think it gets saved to card.ability.name so you can use that instead of a key but that's just asking for mod conflicts

[loud summit]

oh

[red flower]

you can do something funny which is name you joker showman or something to make it work like showman

could* since smods checks for the key now

[loud summit]

meat

neat

[wispy falcon]

Is there something for making a joker give exponent?

[winter flower]

return { emult = # }

though beware you do need talisman

[wispy falcon]

Forget that then, I'm not at that point, if I even ever get there

[wheat jewel]

What is the variable for the game's sound effect volume

[loud summit]

hey how do you get how much the current hand scored during a context.after trigger

[urban wasp]

you could technically do the current mult times the current chips and make that the score but then you also need to somehow account for the fat that the scoring operator can be changed

[loud summit]

hm.

[frosty rampart]

as per the 0827 release notes, SMODS.calculate_round_score() should be a fine replacement for hand_chips * mult that properly accounts for if the scoring calculation is different

[loud summit]

so calling that in context.after will get the score that hand got?

[frosty rampart]

i think so, yea

[loud summit]

cool thx

[mystic river]

yeah i use it so i can search for it later if i somehow forget the file name

[urban wasp]

oh cool

[loud summit]

how do you get the current blind reqirement

[wispy falcon]

What are these called?

[wispy falcon]

I think G.GAME.blind.chips

[obtuse silo]

not sure what's causing this issue

[frosty rampart]

scoring parameters

[wispy falcon]

And how do I get them?

[frosty rampart]

like the numbers?

[wispy falcon]

Yep

[obtuse silo]

the variables should just be hand_chips and mult

[frosty rampart]

yes to just read the numbers, hand_chips and mult (literally just like that, they're global values) work fine

[mystic river]

not even capitalizing his global values, smh thunk, literally unplayable

[wispy falcon]

I find it funny how it's hand_chips but not hand_mult

[wild escarp]

How can I make one card in an object type show up at a lower rate than the others? I've got this, which crashes.

rarities = {
    key = "j_willatro_consciousness",
    rate = 0.1
}

[brittle yacht]

bump

why is this

[quick scarab]

quick bump

[wispy falcon]

They aren't strings, right?

[frosty rampart]

without talisman they should just be numbers. with talisman they'll be the big number format

[wide chasm]

whats the context for all cards in the playing hand? i only see contexts for cards that score, but i want to trigger the ones that dont score too

[wispy falcon]

context.full_hand

[wide chasm]

oh aight

[wide chasm]

well that also includes the cards that arent being played right?

im looking for the cards played, regardless if theyre scored or not

not the entire hand

[wispy falcon]

I don't think it does

Here

[wide chasm]

huh

then why would my joker be doing that

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "singularity",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 4,
    cost = 20,
    atlas = 'nebula_atlas',
    pos = {x=4,y=2},
    config = {
          x_mult = 1,
          extra = { xmult = 1, xmult_gain = 0.1 }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
          return {
            vars = {
                card.ability.x_mult,
                  card.ability.extra.x_mult,
                  card.ability.extra.xmult_gain
            }
          }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.first_hand_drawn then
        local eval = function() return G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 and not G.RESET_JIGGLES end
        juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
    end
    if context.full_hand and context.destroy_card and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
        card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.xmult_gain
        return {
            remove = true,
            xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult, 
        }
    end
end
}

seems fine

[dapper sun]

how do i set the sell cost of a joker to a specific amount

[red flower]

you can modify card.sell_cost but it will get reset when calling set_cost so you either have to do some maths to make card.ability.extra_value the appropriate amount or hook card:set_cost

[dapper sun]

doing maths sounds easier tbh

nvmd

how do i hook card:set_cost but only for a specific joker

[red flower]

hook the function and then check if self.config.center_key is equal to you joker's key

[dapper sun]

ok

[mellow thunder]

currently trying to make a joker not trigger if another copy of the same joker has been triggered beforehand, does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? Also if anyone knows how to get rid of the message that pops up when the joker changes your money that would be nice to know as well

[dapper sun]

how do i do the hook?

[frosty rampart]

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

[wheat jewel]

bump

[wispy falcon]

How do I check in which area a card is located?

[dapper sun]

so like this?

[red flower]

set cost doesnt return anything

[dapper sun]

oh

[red flower]

i would recommend looking at the original

[dapper sun]

good point lol

[red flower]

card.area

[dapper sun]

this is run after the vanilla code, right?

[red flower]

post_trigger doesnt exist in end_of_round directly
for the message try remove_default_message = true

[red flower]

correct

[dapper sun]

cool

ty

[wheat jewel]

does the game have a variable for the sound effects ingame, i need to know cuz i cannot find it anywhere

[dapper sun]

how do i make a joker start with eternal

[wispy falcon]

By the way, what's the difference between card and self?

[red flower]

in set_ability do card:set_eternal(true)

[red flower]

in what function

they're just argument names

[mellow thunder]

The message thing worked, thank you! Is there anything else I can do to make only one copy of the joker trigger in this situation? Like maybe putting the post_trigger outside of end_of_round and disabling everything there?

[wispy falcon]

For example in consumables

[red flower]

i wouldnt use post_trigger for that
set a global like G.GAME.modprefix_joker_used = true and then set it to false in a later context

[red flower]

self is the prototype object of the card in the functions of SMODS.Consumable (it is the SMODS.Consumable itself) while card is the specific card instance you're evaluating
self == card.config.center

[wispy falcon]

Okay, got it

[dapper sun]

ty

[wheat jewel]

How can i store the original rates of common, uncommon, and rare jokers without permanently altering them?

trying to make a joker, destory a joker and have other jokers of that rarity no longer appear in the shop for one shop visit

and have it reset at the end of the shop

if anyone could help me with this it'd help alot

nvm got it fixed

[wild escarp]

Anyone able to help with this crash message? It only happens when I add this into my ObjectType.

rarities = {
    { key = "j_willatro_consciousness", rate = 0.01 }
}

[wild escarp]

Nevermind, seems like I can only change the spawn rate of a rarity within an object type.

[round lion]

well now i cant even use the mod.

[wild escarp]

Which begs the question, how could I make a particular card of the same rarity as others spawn less frequently in packs, like soul or black hole?

[round lion]

what is a mode r

[frosty rampart]

is there an easy way to get something like context.post_trigger on playing cards and editions too, or do i just have to inject my own calculate_context calls into the main scoring loop

[round lion]

how the hell am i meant to handle crossmodding

i tried to make a crossmod joker and it just ignores the dependencies flag i set, instantly running into a crash since OBVIOUSLY THE MOD ISNT THERE.

[frosty rampart]

if next(SMODS.find_mod("mod key")) is true, then the mod exists. wrap your crossmod joker in an if statement checking for that

and take the other mod out of the dependencies folder, since you don't require the other mod

[round lion]

someone said to put the dependenciee flag into the joker object

[frosty rampart]

interesting

[red flower]

what's the code

[round lion]

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'jimboGE',
    dependencies = {"kino"},
    loc_txt = {
    name = "{C:wdylg_Gangster}Joker{}",
    text = {"{C:red,s:1.1}+#1#{} Bullets",
    "{C:attention}THIS IS NOT A MOVIE JOKER.{}"}
    },
    rarity = 3,
    generate_ui = Kino.generate_info_ui,-- this is the part where it runs into a spike wall while CLEARLY ignoring the dependencies flag.

[red flower]

yeah that makes sense

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/Repertorium/blob/1184b50c950c354ad22e14a6bf35b48152ac781b/src/jokers/005keion.lua#L23

the definition of the joker is obviously going to ignore dependencies

because those are not loaded yet when you run SMODS.Joker

[frosty rampart]

anyway bump
i'm probably just gonna get started on a hook/patch but it would be nice to know if a system already exists for it

[quick scarab]

Bump

[feral tree]

so returning a message from a playing card causes it to show up after the card's chip score, is there a way to make it only display the message and not the amount of chips?

[slender bay]

any advice on how to make this work? trying to make it so every ant in the deck adds to the mult

[final jewel]

I crash when starting the game

[daring fern]

return {xmult = #SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key')}

[split saddle]

removing cards directly from the deck (using SMODS.destroy_cards) makes new cards not show up in the deck, is there any way to fix it?

[obtuse wraith]

I recorded another moment where it happened.

[lethal spindle]

Guys, is there a way to get 2x assets if I have the 1x copies?

The pixel image resizer kinda blurs the images...

[daring fern]

Yes, you have to use Nearest Neighbor

[sonic cedar]

can anyone tell me why my values arent resetting when i sell the joker? they get added just fine

G.GAME.trig is so they dont keep piling their passives on each other over and over

1st image is remove_from_deck, the other 3 are add_to_deck, and in order

nvm im just stupid

[subtle merlin]

(this IS balatro related, im doing this for a convoluted blind) would anyone with love2d experience be able to explain why file is nil here?

i swear-

[final jewel]

When I hover my consumable in collection I get this crash ??

[sonic cedar]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#why-does-my-card-crash-when-i-hover-over-it-in-the-collection

[final jewel]

yeah ik that

but its the info queue i think

[daring fern]

No, it's because G.hand doesn't exist.

[final jewel]

oh right

What do I need to do so

[red flower]

what the link toma sent says 😭

in this case if G.hand then will work

[red flower]

does name give you something

[final jewel]

omg I am soo dumb

[red flower]

you probably want to use NFS instead of love.filesystem too

[final jewel]

I need some sleep ig

[crimson dune]

Hey, someone has been getting this mysterious crash with this mod, does anyone know why this is the case?

[subtle merlin]

yes, (for windows and in this case) it's "C:/Users/[user]/"

[subtle merlin]

i dont know what that is...

[fathom star]

what should i do?

[daring fern]

(card.edition or self.config).card_limit

[fathom star]

do i put that before or after

oop wait

Thanks!

so how do i add a name to the edition

[lethal spindle]

So what exactly is the bad lovely patch or smth?

Does it have to do with incompat with latest smods?

[subtle merlin]

My current guess is a mod that is expecting an older smods version has a patch and that messes everything up, do the mods you have rn have compatibility with the newest smods release, and are all of them updated?

[lethal spindle]

Since I have a developing mod...

Even a text takes delaying to send
