[random flint]

oh

yeah it works now thanks :D

[rotund sable]

I'd set my_pos to local

For example under applied

local my_pos

[hidden mirage]

info_queue[#"Info"_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.tag_ethereal nothing appears

[slim ferry]

tags arent centers

also why is it [#1116390750314307698](/guild/1116389027176787968/channel/1116390750314307698/)_queue+1

WHAT THE FUCK

it should be info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_TAGS.tag_ethereal

[hidden mirage]

starnge, my discord shows [#1116390750314307698_queue+1] but the code appending is right

[rotund sable]

Discord being discord ig

[slim ferry]

yeah because for some reason discord decided it should be a channel link

depsite this server not having a channel called #1116390750314307698 😭

[rotund sable]

Discord is weird

[dreamy lodge]

I'm making a joker that turns into another joker, is there a way to make it keep the editions when it transforms? Because right now I'm just using add card and destroying itself so not sure how to make it work like that

[dreamy lodge]

does that really work?

[umbral zodiac]

preserves everything but changes it from the joker it was to the joker it should be

[slim ferry]

yeah

set_ability just changes the base card

[dreamy lodge]

I see

[slim ferry]

normally used for like enhancing playing cards most of the time but it works with any card

[dreamy lodge]

thx

[slim ferry]

what is getCard here. is that like a mistake or is the function just funny like that

[candid storm]

Im am playing a discontinued mod, that have a spelling mistake, for colour. I have a hard time figuring out where i need to change the mistake. Can someone help me get in the right direction?

[slim ferry]

you can use ctrl+shift+f in vscode to search in the entire workspace

or since its almanac you dont really need to since its all 1 file for some fucking reason

[umbral zodiac]

i mean ultimately i would recommend you just stop using mods that are discontinued
the balatro modding scene is quite harsh to mods that do not keep up and well ,,, almanac isnt exactly known for it's extreme high maintainence

[umbral zodiac]

i mean its not in jen.lua

[candid storm]

I was under the impression that it was in jen.lua. Where else could it be?

[daring fern]

No, that's how it's spelled.

[umbral zodiac]

the crashlog tells you precisely where the error happened
the main issue is usually it doesn't actually go wrong there, it just becomes enough of a problem that it crashes at that location

it is either in jen.lua or the toml file for it i'd imagine

[candid storm]

Okay it might be a bit more obscure than i anticipated. I have found this from the mods discrod.

[long sun]

what might be causing this crash?

if SMODS.calculate_round_score() > 0 then

oh it might be Talisman

lemme disable that

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to update it.

[thorn basin]

how can I make a function for a voucher that makes all booster packs in the shop cost 1$ less?
I've seen how clearance sale does but it does it with a percentage and goes through all the elements in the shop (which is not what I want)

[daring fern]

Hook Card:set_cost()

[thorn basin]

ok so I already did that and put on a check for if the self.ability.set == "Booster" but I'm not sure what should I put inside the check

[daring fern]

self.cost = self.cost - 1

[thorn basin]

oh, it was... simpler than I thought

thx btw!

[thorn basin]

hold up, I just noticed it still doesn't work

[spring gyro]

Hello everyone

[daring fern]

Move the hook out of the voucher.

Also you need to run the old function first.

Also you need to do for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do v:set_cost() end in an event.

Also you should be using SMODS.change_booster_limit

[mossy anchor]

aight so to make movable numbers i just need to edit DynaText it hink

p sure that isnt used for JUST numbers tho

[thorn basin]

that event should be inside the hook function right?

[daring fern]

No, it would be in redeem

[thorn basin]

aight

[daring fern]

That would cause an infinite loop.

[spring gyro]

Who can help with one proplem?
When I open the pack, I get a crash. I suspect that the map from sixsuit is causing the crash. And since I forked it, I need to figure out if this is true.

Anybody have
ideas?

[thorn basin]

question: how can I make SMODS.change_booster_limit not increase the limit of booster packs every time I enter in a shop?

[daring fern]

No, SMODS.change_booster_limit(card.ability.extra.booster_size)

[thorn basin]

aight

[spring gyro]

This, joker from sixsuit, his convert into moon suit

But i dont understand whats wrong

[calm karma]

hi, im looking into doing stuff using SMODS.Achievement, but where would i find the achievement list in game?
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Achievement

ive never done balatro modding before

[red flower]

it's in the mod's menu

once it adds achievements

[calm karma]

do you know of any mods which add achievements?

i checked cryptid but i dont think theirs are implemented

like theres the achievement.lua file

oh wait i see it, i just didnt check the right place lol

[dapper sun]

does anyone know why this hook isn't doing anything?

wait i'm dumb

i'm setting cost instead of sell_cost

[calm karma]

am i missing a part of documentation or something?
im looking at the example mods for steamodded

SMODS.Keybind{
    key = 'broke',
    key_pressed = 'p',
    held_keys = {'lctrl'}, -- other key(s) that need to be held

    action = function(self)
        G.GAME.dollars = 1
        sendInfoMessage("money set to 1", "CustomKeybinds")
    end,
}

that G.GAME.dollars, i keep seeing other stuff with G. at the start, is there anywhere i can find all of them?

[dapper sun]

nvmd still not working

[red flower]

are you calling set_cost on the card

also the sell value is card.sell_cost

[dapper sun]

i noticed that last bit at least

[red flower]

you can find some here
https://github.com/BakersDozenBagels/Smods-Wiki/blob/g-documentation/G.md

but there isn't much documentation of things outside of smods, you might want to look at the code for the game instead

[dapper sun]

it's being called

[calm karma]

ah ok, thank you

i havent used much lua so im sort of learning it as i make this

so how much of the main games code id understand is limited but ill make it work lol

[red flower]

i also recommend this if you haven't seen it https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki

[red flower]

weird, seems like it should work if it's being called

[dapper sun]

gonna run a few more tests

found it

self.ability.extra.mult * self.ability.extra.value returns 0

i think it's bc it's being called before value gets set

[jolly pivot]

making a joker rn which destroys itself after a while and turns into a different joker. how do i keep track of the enhancements and make sure the new joker spawns with the same ones?

that return im pretty sure doesnt work

so ignore that

[red flower]

don't do that

[dapper sun]

can't u just set_ability?

[red flower]

do card:set_ability("other key")

[dapper sun]

tho u may need to do a few more things to update the cost and stuff

[jolly pivot]

wdym exactly

[red flower]

what i sent

[jolly pivot]

well yeah but what will that do? is it replacing the whole destroying and spawning code?

[dapper sun]

yea it turns one joker into another

[red flower]

yes, it changes the card into the other card keeping everything

the biggest problem with keeping track of enhancements outside of that is that stickers are a pain

[jolly pivot]

ic

so just this?

[red flower]

yeah

[jolly pivot]

indents are wrong buh

thank you tho

[calm karma]

ok, so ive tried making an achievement, but it doesnt fire? do i need to have anything extra or would just having this be enough?

SMODS.Achievement {
    key = "10dollar",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "$10",
        description = {"Get $10"}
    },
    bypass_all_unlocked = false,
    unlock_condition = function(self, args)
        if G.GAME.dollars == 10 then
            return true
        end
    end
}

like that is my entire .lua file

[jolly pivot]

how do i add joker enhancements through debugplus again?

[daring fern]

You mean editions?

[jolly pivot]

yeah

like negative n stuff

[daring fern]

CTRL + Q

[jolly pivot]

thank you

[fathom star]

how can i detect if a hand has only 2 suits?

[jolly pivot]

does a card being legendary automatically lock it to soul's pool

[red flower]

yes

[cursive gazelle]

How hard would it be to implement quantum jokers

[fathom star]

wdym

[cursive gazelle]

Adding joker abilities to another one

Essentially fusing them together

[fathom star]

hmm sounds hard , youd need to figure out what abilities to merge

and how would you name them?

[dapper sun]

like quantum enhancements?

how would you handle joker config values though

[manic rune]

the main problem would be when the jokers read from the same config value

[cursive gazelle]

That was my first concern

[manic rune]

quite a few jokers store mult in .ability.extra, for example

[red flower]

i think sdm was doing something like that

[wintry solar]

sdm has a version that works, yeah

[manic rune]

🤔

[wintry solar]

you can also reference pinkprint in ortalab, that's sort of similar

[manic rune]

did i miss something during my 1 day of inactive 😭

[cursive gazelle]

Pinkprint lol

Funny name

[manic rune]

pink panther

[red flower]

no

[cursive gazelle]

Yeah you missed nothing actually

[rotund sable]

You could iterate over context.scoring_hand or context.full_hand (if you're in joker_main for example)

And I believe there was a :is_suit() thing

[primal robin]

Hey look what I'm cooking for UI enjoyers

[manic rune]

a ruler??

[primal robin]

Exactly!

[manic rune]

cinema.png

[primal robin]

I it okay if I'll make mod config accessible only via debguplus console?

Since it's only dev tool...

[fathom star]

alr

[rotund sable]

You should make DebugPlusPlusPlus

[fathom star]

btw does scoring hand mean that the card is scored?

[primal robin]

Not interested in such complex task

[fathom star]

and if its not scoring hand then does that mean its checking if its not scored?

[rotund sable]

context.scoring_hand is the scored cards yes

[fathom star]

i sea

[rotund sable]

ok wait i think i found an interesting solution to get a number of unique suits in scored hand

and i have no idea if it works or is there a better way

[manic rune]

isnt it just grabbing from card.base.suit and some basic comparison

🤔

[rotund sable]

if context.joker_main then
  local suits = {} 
  for _, playing_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
    suits[playing_card.base.suit] = true
  end
  print(suits)
end

[manic rune]

thatd work yeah

[rotund sable]

that works because i tested it

prints correctly at least

[next timber]

how do you make a deck force every card to have an edition?

[still cedar]

How to make calculation for joker which give a each played card a random enhance?

[red flower]

this won't work with wild cards

[rotund sable]

damn it

[red flower]

you would need to keep track of those separately and assign them to new suits after

[iron steeple]

I have a question regarding a deck effect I am trying to make. I want to create a deck where cards that get discarded trigger their end of round effect (for example gold cards would give money on discard)
I am overriding the discard_cards_from_highlighted method to call the smods calculate_end_of_round_effects method for the highlighted hands. However, the effects don't seem to trigger.

local ref_discard_cards_from_highlighted = G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted
function G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted(e, hook)
    local r_val = ref_discard_cards_from_highlighted(e, hook)
    if G.GAME.starting_params.yorickdeck then
        local hi_list = { cards = {} }
        for i = 1, #G.hand.highlighted do
            table.insert(hi_list.cards, G.hand.highlighted[i])
        end
        SMODS.calculate_end_of_round_effects({ cardarea = hi_list, end_of_round = true }) --iterates through cardarea.cards, which is why I don't use G.hand.highlighted directly
    end
    return r_val
end```
One thing worth noting is that the method works correctly if I use G.hand as the cardarea instead of creating it from G.hand.highlighted, but the issue is that it triggers cards that aren't being discarded as well (which I don't want). What difference is there between the cards in G.hand.highlighted and G.hand.cards that could cause the different behavior?
Or is there a potentially better method to do what I am trying?

[red flower]

the cards specifically check for G.hand

[harsh belfry]

does SMODS.scale_card work with talisman?

[wintry solar]

does it rotate?

[stiff locust]

how do I get a playing card's chip value

i know about extra_bonus but i also want to get the base chips

and also change them if possible

[daring fern]

[primal robin]

I'll do this rotateable

Maybe even display more than one at the same

And maybe even anchor them

Not sure

Rn working on this

[stiff locust]

do you mean retrigger it
did you solve this

[daring fern]

No, I mean rescore, and no.

[stiff locust]

what the hell does rescore mean

if not retrigger

[primal robin]

Like retrigger retriggers

[red flower]

card:get_chip_bonus

[wintry solar]

jokers don't "score"

[stiff locust]

is this for its base chip value

[sonic cedar]

asking this here too

[red flower]

that's for the total
the base is probably in that function too it should be the nominal i think

[stiff locust]

I wanna change the base chip value of the cards

to 0 to remove it i'm making a card that absorbs chips

[sonic cedar]

so base.nominal then right

[stiff locust]

well that function would obtain the base chip value maybe i havent checked yet

but would it be safe to use that to change it

[rotund sable]

A new utility mod called rulers just dropped??

[primal robin]

In progress

Obvious continuation

[rotund sable]

<@&1133519078540185692>

Anyone down for free money

[grand violet]

No

[primal robin]

bummer

[rotund sable]

🥺

[primal robin]

Now - yes

[rotund sable]

Can you change the color

[wintry solar]

I just wanted the horizontal one 🤣

[primal robin]

Yes

[rotund sable]

Can you make a toggle to make it spin like a propeller

[primal robin]

[rotund sable]

Or make a chorma-style toggle (like a color changing thing)

[primal robin]

I can but... why?

[rotund sable]

Funny

[primal robin]

Will rename to rulers_dir

Makes more sense

[wintry solar]

what's the scale?

[primal robin]

1 pixel

Maybe should make scale aswell

If you mean between lines, want to make them configurable too

rn you see 1, 0.5 and 0.1 for big, medium, small respectively

(in game size units)

[fathom star]

ermm

[rotund sable]

How's your config looking?

[wintry solar]

yeah was just wondering if it actually represented in game units

[primal robin]

That's the whole point

[wispy falcon]

How would I make it, so that a locked description changes after a specific consumable gets used?

[rotund sable]

Hmm

Actually no idea

Probably something with the rest of the code

[fathom star]

ouff

[cursive gazelle]

Hmmm what are you cooking good looking ?

[primal robin]

I'm not good looking at all btw

Anyway, I'm cooking rulers

[cursive gazelle]

For ui ?

[fathom star]

okay what the fuck?

[cursive gazelle]

Sounds like a great tool

[fathom star]

i got my old code from the jokerforge and it works

even if its xactly the same

[cursive gazelle]

stop hiding

[cursive gazelle]

Syntax error probably

[stuck yew]

did you make sure to restart the run or recreate the joker card after adding config values?
they're stored in the card on creation and saved in the run file, so if you add a value mid-run, it'll still use the old saved config table

[fathom star]

how do i reference a specific joker?

[primal robin]

Never develop commands before, so

[cursive gazelle]

j_modprefix_jokerkey

[still cedar]

How to make calculation for joker which give a each played card a random enhance?

[wispy falcon]

bump

[daring fern]

‎

[primal robin]

Holy sh, this works!

[fathom star]

uhhh whys the sound not playinggggg

[fathom star]

is prefix case sensitive?

[rotund sable]

It should be the same as your modprefix

[slim ferry]

use locked_loc_vars to have it use a different key after the consumable is used

[rotund sable]

Defined in metadata

[fathom star]

yes

[wispy falcon]

So I would write all the text in locked_loc_vars and just put it into unlock with #1#?

[slim ferry]

no, just return a different key

[wispy falcon]

What? Can you give me an example, please?

[slim ferry]

you can return key = "string" in loc_vars to make the object use a different key from your localization file (it will use the key you returned instead)

[stiff locust]

hey chat i'm struggling with math again

[fathom star]

how can i make a sound play when xmult is applied?

[cursive gazelle]

Writing shaders ?

Perhaps

[slim ferry]

add sound = <sound key> to the return

thatll replace the default sound

[cursive gazelle]

Return sound=soundkey

[stiff locust]

actually wait

no it's working properly

[cursive gazelle]

Sounds are defined with SMODS.Sound

[stiff locust]

i'm just stupid and also this value is way too big

hmmm

[cursive gazelle]

You can find more on that in the wiki

[wispy falcon]

So I would do the following and then just return the key for them?

                name = "{C:cstorm_astro}Aries",
                text = {
                    {
                        "{C:attention}Saves you if the blind requirement",
                        "is not met at the {C:attention}cost of a random joker"
                    },
                    {
                        "{s:0.8,C:inactive} No Jokers, no saving"
                    }
                },
                unlock = {
                    "Find the corresponding {C:attention}hint card",
                    "to know how to unlock this card",
                },
            },
             c_cstorm_aries_hint = {
                name = "{C:cstorm_astro}Aries",
                text = {
                    {
                        "{C:attention}Saves you if the blind requirement",
                        "is not met at the {C:attention}cost of a random joker"
                    },
                    {
                        "{s:0.8,C:inactive} No Jokers, no saving"
                    }
                },
                unlock = {
                    "Text bla bla bla",
                },
            },```

[slim ferry]

yeah

[wispy falcon]

Okay, gonna try that

[slim ferry]

if you want to make the hint stay permanently after youve used the consumable on the save youd probably have to do some extra shenanigans to store it in the save file

[primal robin]

That's actually so damn good

[stiff locust]

today I learned balatro sorts cards by ranks by using the base nominal value

[slim ferry]

what,,,,,,,,,,,, how..

[wispy falcon]

Do you know how I would do that?

[slim ferry]

face cards literally all have the same one

no

[stiff locust]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

but it's doing that

i can tell because it moves all the ones with 0 nominal to the right

which is cool to have

[slim ferry]

i mean

ig that makes sense

since stone cards also sort to the right

[stiff locust]

yeah

i forgot about stone cards

[fathom star]

where do i put this?

[slim ferry]

in the return

with the xmult and message

[fathom star]

ah i see

it works thanks!

[wispy falcon]

Wait, how do I even know when a specific consumable got used? OwO

[slim ferry]

check for it in context.using_consumable in the global mod calculate

[wispy falcon]

And how would I make the if statement in locked_loc_vars know that then? By using G.GAME?

[stiff locust]

how would I bring all the discarded cards back into the deck

[slim ferry]

G.GAME is tied to run saves, you would have to store it outside of there

[wispy falcon]

How?

[slim ferry]

wdym how

[cursive gazelle]

😭

[wispy falcon]

How/where specifically do I store it then? I've never stored anything outside of a run save, iirc

[stiff locust]

also is there a way to shuffle the deck

[slim ferry]

literally anywhere

as long as you can actually access the variable then nothing matters

[wispy falcon]

Wait, as a global?

[slim ferry]

yes

[wispy falcon]

Okay, sorry. I'm stupid

[slim ferry]

what else would you store it as 😭

i mean you could also store it in G i guess

how change vanilla rarity rates. i forgor

[primal robin]

Is this good explanation?

[wintry solar]

whats the difference between -s and the big value of -st?

[stiff locust]

where's the | Enable Helicopter Mode

[primal robin]

-s limits how many units long is ruler

-st defined distance between lines

[wintry solar]

ah I see

I would maybe change size to length then

[primal robin]

makes sense

[spring gyro]

....

How to fix this

[slim ferry]

are you actually developing one of those mods? if not, then consider reading the message in the crash log

[spring gyro]

fork, not dev

[slim ferry]

well okay

you should probably test with less other mods first of all

[spring gyro]

I know when it crashes, but I don't understand why.

[slim ferry]

so you know the crash is actually caused by the fork

[wintry solar]

looks like some sort of bad loc_vars function

[primal robin]

I made -s to be actual size

[slim ferry]

the booster_choice_mod or whatever a thing yet or did i just make that up

[hearty mesa]

why are my text input boxes aligned to the left when i put align = cr?

(this is in SMODS.current_mod.config_tab btw)

local config_nodes =
    {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config = {align = "cm", colour = G.C.L_BLACK, minw = 4, minh = 4}, nodes = {
        {n = G.UIT.C, config = {align = "cm"}, nodes = {}}
    }}

config_nodes.nodes[1].nodes[1] = create_text_input{
        prompt_text = "...",
        max_length = 12,
        all_caps = true,
        ref_table = SMODS.current_mod.config,
        ref_value = "up_keybind",
        align = "cr",
        callback = function()
            SMODS.current_mod.config.up_keybind = SMODS.current_mod.config.up_keybind:lower()
            SMODS.save_mod_config(SMODS.current_mod)
        end
    }
-- It's just this four more times...
return config_nodes

[spring gyro]

Then I see(in pack or somewhere) Appears Moon?

[slim ferry]

what?

[spring gyro]

Moon?
It is joker from sixsuits

[slim ferry]

okay

is it related to the crash or?

[stiff locust]

ok no this isn't working

chat i need help moving all the cards from g.discard to g.deck

[spring gyro]

Yes, Then it taro Appears

[slim ferry]

moon_suit.key is not a thing there

you need to put just the actual key as a string

[spring gyro]

There

[slim ferry]

does SMODS.Suit actually return the table it was given?

[wintry solar]

can you call G.FUNCS.draw_from_discard_to_deck()?

[slim ferry]

because if not that does nothing

[stiff locust]

you can do that???

how do I make it do that for all the cards in the discard

does it do that on its own

[wintry solar]

it does that on its own

[stiff locust]

that's awesome

[spring gyro]

Sixsuits works normaly.

Except this moment

[wispy falcon]

Anyone know how to save something into the save file?

[slim ferry]

did you

read what i said

about what youre doing not working unless SMODS.Suit returns the table it was given

[spring gyro]

This taro works normaly

[slim ferry]

where is star_suit defined?

[stiff locust]

it's not doing it for all the cards

it's doing it for some of them? but it's leaving some of them behind

[slim ferry]

hm

try replacing self.config with card.ability everywhere

[stiff locust]

it makes sense that it would be leaving the cards in the played hand that trigger the effect

but idk why it's not bringing back the other cards

for some reason it always leaves like 10 cards

what fi i just call the function twice

[spring gyro]

Just a moment

[slim ferry]

oh

loc_vars has to be function(self, card)

first

[stiff locust]

ohh my god

[wispy falcon]

bump

[stiff locust]

it's not leaving cards behind

the cards are held in your hand

i'm so fucking stupid

[spring gyro]

i replace everywhere

[wintry solar]

background colour should be in the vars table

[spring gyro]

loading

[robust marsh]

do i need a prefix for achievement localization

[slim ferry]

what are the variables that change the options/choices in booster packs called again?i thought they got added at some point but i forgot their names

[slim ferry]

ach_modprefix_key

[robust marsh]

ty

[spring gyro]

Maybe I just send I code?

[red flower]

they're in the last release notes im pretty sure

[wintry solar]

not being able to link to headings in discussions is dumb

[stiff locust]

what function would I hook to set the value of everything

is it safe to do this with card:set_cost()

[wispy falcon]

bump2

[stiff locust]

check yggdrasil they do it

[manic rune]

save into G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile]

[stiff locust]

bepis have you beaten the getting_sliced allegations

[spring gyro]

@slim ferry
What do you say?

[manic rune]

im still studying

i will push a PR to fix that later

[slim ferry]

idk it looks fine

[spring gyro]

I thought about rewriting the code and dividing it into files, but I don't have enough knowledge yet

[cursive gazelle]

Watch it explode

[spring gyro]

I need to debug somehow

[slim ferry]

use debugplus

[spring gyro]

I install this mod and...

how use this mod?

[rotund sable]

press tab

[spring gyro]

And nothing....

[slim ferry]

hold it

[broken rivet]

??????

[spring gyro]

Even in the collection there is a crash

Whats wrong........

[idle plaza]

Your file uses the header function(self, card) for loc_vars, which is outdated. It should be function(self, info_queue, card) instead.

[broken rivet]

does anyone have any idea what's wrong with this lovely patch

[robust marsh]

try

pattern = '''
G.FUNCS.cash_out = function(e)
'''

[broken rivet]

also crashed

[spring gyro]

I repalce all function(self, card) on function(self, info_queue, card)

[broken rivet]

wait

[robust marsh]

huh

[broken rivet]

i forgot to delete a copypaste 😭

ty anyway

[robust marsh]

oh

no worries, happens

[spring gyro]

What's going on with this mod.....

[loud summit]

how do you get the round score

[spring gyro]

What?

[rotund sable]

like the score you need to get?

[robust marsh]

G.GAME.blind.chips

G.GAME.chips for your current score

[spring gyro]

I don't think I understood, but what do you mean?

[loud summit]

this

thx

[robust marsh]

yup ofc

[wispy falcon]

How do I use that?

[manic rune]

anything saved in there will save for the entire profile

[spring gyro]

"Star?"
Normaly
"Moon?"
no
-___-

[wispy falcon]

So I do G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].something = true and then I can do if G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].something == true then ...?

[manic rune]

yes

[spring gyro]

How to fix it..............

[next timber]

how do i make a deck force everything to have an edition?

[loud summit]

loook at cryptid

[next timber]

i was hoping to avoid looking at cryptid's code but alr

[red flower]

i think cryptid hooks create_card

[loud summit]

yea

[wispy falcon]

I have a consumable that can only be used once before removing itself from the pool. How do I make a booster pack remove itself out of the pool, if there are no consumables left for it to pick?

[wintry solar]

Count the size of the consumable pool in the boosters in pool function

[wild berry]

why does my mod cause this???

[wispy falcon]

How do I get the consumable pool again?

[wintry solar]

Use get current pool for your consumable type

[wild berry]

hello???

ive posted this problem before and literally no one responded

[red flower]

this seems like you used the wrong sound key

or something

[wild berry]

oh

how can i check for sounds

[red flower]

elaborate?

[wild berry]

like

is there a function

that plays or defines sounds

so i can see manually which one it is

[red flower]

are you trying to play your own sound or one from the game?

you will find docs here https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Sound

[wild berry]

thank you

[wild berry]

i dunno, i dont remember, i havent touched the mod in a month

[red flower]

well, we can't help if you dont know your own mod lol

[wild berry]

yeah i know, thanks for pointing out what i need to search out for

:)

and i found out the source of the problem, it works now

tysm

[willow scroll]

@N im not the best at github, is this all you added to implement global mod calculate? https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/847/commits/8b7d4b0d0f99a4eff26bdbc9b9c0621bf5171171

[red flower]

yes

[willow scroll]

noted

im back on trying to implement back stickers fully

i think this is all i need

[rotund sable]

Gl

[red flower]

hmm i think for stickers you dont want these deck-like calculates

[willow scroll]

well its a "sticker" but really its just a permanent run alteration

[red flower]

ah ok

[wide chasm]

how tf does context.destroy_card work it keeps doing some weird stuff

[willow scroll]

so i think if i replace object = mod with object = MaxBoiSM.Backstickers[key] and change the surrounding logic itll work just fine :clueless:

que the 4 hour rabbit hole i fall into again

[wide chasm]

having it alone only triggers the scored cards, adding context.full_hand triggers every single card in the drawn hand? like what

[red flower]

use context.cardarea == 'unscored'

[wispy falcon]

Why does this result in the error "attempt to concatenate local '_type' (a nil value)"

            self.config.consumablesLeft = self.config.consumablesLeft + 1
            print(self.config.consumablesLeft)
        end```

[red flower]

youre missing the quotes around cstorm_astro_hints

also get_current_pool returns "UNAVAILABLE" for the keys that are not in the pool

[wide chasm]

well thats just the unscored ones, i want the whole played hand

[red flower]

and also if the pool is empty it will always have the default

[wide chasm]

scored and unscored

[red flower]

(context.cardarea == G.play or context.cardarea == 'unscored')

[wide chasm]

aight

[wispy falcon]

What do you mean?

[red flower]

get_current_pool returns a list of keys

if its not in the pool the key becomes that

its not removed

[violet void]

If I need to store data for tracking with how many custom cards the player wins with, should I use G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].career_stats?

[wispy falcon]

What would I do instead then?

[red flower]

check if the key is not unavailable to count

[wispy falcon]

Would this work?

            if card ~= "UNAVAILABLE" then
                consumablesLeft = consumablesLeft + 1
            end
            print(consumablesLeft)
        end```

[red flower]

i think so

[gusty compass]

did anyone figure out how to make the scoring_parameter and scoring_calculation bits work?

[wispy falcon]

Wait, you just said that, my bad

[gusty compass]

i cant seem to get a third parameter to show up

[round lion]

i dont think anhy of my lovely patches for mods are working

i dont see any of them in dump

whats causing the smods lovely patches to not have been acted upon

[frosty rampart]

the end of the 0827 release notes has a full example of adding a third scoring parameter "juice", just copy that
the formula is just chips x mult x juice, but i can walk you through setting up a different formula if you want it

(i did this a while ago)
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1387213318334316555/1410076126629593118/Balatro_2025.08.26_-_20.13.22.02.mp4?ex=68c9687a&is=68c816fa&hm=56daa099ed71808ff7f0d51975330584c3aaff1fdd8821c68502d1bca2e55392&

[willow scroll]

it works!

hooray my backstickers are no longer jank 🎉

[hearty mesa]

why are my text input boxes aligned to the left when i put align = cr?

(this is in SMODS.current_mod.config_tab btw)

local config_nodes =
    {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config = {align = "cm", colour = G.C.L_BLACK, minw = 4, minh = 4}, nodes = {
        {n = G.UIT.C, config = {align = "cm"}, nodes = {}}
    }}
-- option cycle code goes here...
config_nodes.nodes[1].nodes[2] = create_text_input{
        prompt_text = "...",
        max_length = 12,
        all_caps = true,
        ref_table = SMODS.current_mod.config,
        ref_value = "up_keybind",
        align = "cr",
        callback = function()
            SMODS.current_mod.config.up_keybind = SMODS.current_mod.config.up_keybind:lower()
            SMODS.save_mod_config(SMODS.current_mod)
        end
    }
-- the same snippet four more times...
return config_nodes

[gusty compass]

thing is, i did, and it didnt work for me, as soon as i launched balatro using the example code, i only saw chips and mult, also other question, how can i add different symbols individually such as how you did it in your example?

[frosty rampart]

you need to actually switch to the scoring calculation, if you want it to show up for the whole game then you should hook Game.start_run like this

(to be clear, "expo" is the mod prefix, and "ecalc" is the key of the scoring calculation i defined)

[gusty compass]

so that was not explained in the discussion where the update was announced?

or was it and i must've missed it

[frosty rampart]

yea that was the one thing not shown in the example, although it was still documented earlier in the release notes

[gusty compass]

i see

so in the image you shown, is expo the prefix?

or is that all a key

[round lion]

i already checked and none of the patches appear

only the ones i made to the actual game

[frosty rampart]

yes expo is the prefix for my mod, ecalc is the key for the scoring calculation

[gusty compass]

ohh

just initialising the new calculation should work?

[frosty rampart]

yes, running SMODS.set_scoring_calculation("modprefix_calckey") in a Game.start_run hook will replace the scoring calculation with your custom one for the entire run

[hearty mesa]

wait multiple text inputs just doesnt work HOORAY

[gusty compass]

btw, i was also asking how could i individually configure the different symbols within the gui, since in the discussion it suggests that the symbol applies in between chips and mult only

since from the example, all i got from this was SMODS.GUI.operator(scale * 0.75)

[rotund sable]

I don't think you should be using SMODS.current_mod in a callback function

Aka everything that runs after the main file was loaded

[hearty mesa]

yeah im not i just replaced it because i thought itd be more readable i didnt think about that

[frosty rampart]

the SMODS.GUI.operator function is unfortunately hardcoded to create an "X"
to add custom text, it's a bit of complicated UI code. i've gotta run to class soon so i can't go in-depth about it, but long story short reference the original code for SMODS.GUI.operator(), replace the function call with the code that that function call normally runs in the scoring calc's replace_ui, and then you can replace the "X" with the text you want

[gusty compass]

i might see what i can do, but it does feel a bit sad that you need to add custom text to add onto the hardcoded X, i dont really need to edit Chips X Mult, but i was planning to do Chips X Mult ^ Power

[frosty rampart]

if you look up at my example video that's pretty much exactly what i did lmao (although i assume since you don't have parentheses the Power only applies to Mult?)

[gusty compass]

yea, i am just planning to do Chips X Mult ^ Power

kinda like Chips X (Mult ^ Power)

[frosty rampart]

yea ok that's what i said
lemme write out the replace_ui for you

[gusty compass]

thanks a lot

also yea, i misread your text earlier

my bad

[frosty rampart]

replace_ui = function(self)
  local scale = 0.3
  return
  {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", minh = 1, padding = 0.1}, nodes={
    {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = 'cm', id = 'hand_chips'}, nodes = {
      SMODS.GUI.score_container({
        type = 'chips',
        text = 'chip_text',
        align = 'cr',
        w = 1.1,
        scale = scale
      })
    }},
    SMODS.GUI.operator(scale*0.75),
    {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = 'cm', id = 'hand_mult'}, nodes = {
      SMODS.GUI.score_container({
        type = 'mult',
        align = 'cm',
        w = 1.1,
        scale = scale
      })
    }},
    -- this is the custom ^ text
    -- modify the scale or colour attributes if it looks off
    {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = 'cm', id = 'hand_operator_container' }, nodes = {
      { n=G.UIT.T, config={text = '^', lang = G.LANGUAGES['en-us'], scale = scale*1.5, colour = G.C.UI_MULT, shadow = true}}
    }},
    -- this is no longer the custom ^ text
    {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = 'cm', id = 'hand_modprefix_juice'}, nodes = {
      SMODS.GUI.score_container({
        type = 'modprefix_juice',
        align = 'cl',
        w = 1.1,
        scale = scale
      })
    }},
  }}
end

also obviously replace the juice stuff with your actual scoring parameter

[gusty compass]

thanks

[sonic cedar]

anyone know why this isnt working? still scores like non-splash despite the table containing that key

[charred widget]

How do i make it so a booster pack allows a hand of cards like an arcana pack?

[sonic cedar]

like
you want it to have playing cards in it?

[charred widget]

wait no not a standard pack

an arcana pack

like how it draws cards from your deck to use tarot card's effects

[frosty rampart]

read the documentation
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Booster

[charred widget]

ok thank you!

[next timber]

can i make a deck give mult like a joker?

[sonic cedar]

thats a new thing isnt it

[next timber]

the docs are kinda unclear about what contexts work

[round lion]

one last time, why doesnt stuff like these even get patched in, i read vanillaremade and it told me to make it like this

[sonic cedar]

where's your times

[round lion]

wait, im supposed to add that?

i forgot to add it on another patch and it still worked

theres one with times and it still doesnt function.

[red flower]

yes

[sonic cedar]

[red flower]

most contexts work except for like joker_main

[sonic cedar]

you're probably on a diff priority?

[round lion]

this is the main issue that doesnt even function

[wooden nexus]

So I wanna make a lovely patch on the code for the pre-existing stakes and to give one of them a win ante, where would I find that

[robust marsh]

what does the code for debuffs look like? If anyone knows

[sonic cedar]

Stakes are in game.lua

[wooden nexus]

okay... where in it

lol

[sonic cedar]

looking at the base game files here…

try 2031

[rotund sable]

lovely/dump>>>

[sonic cedar]

theyre patching

[rotund sable]

Ehhh fair then

[wooden nexus]

G.STATE_COMPLETE = false?

[rotund sable]

But some code could be replaced by smods

[red flower]

you probably want to take_ownership

[sonic cedar]

that too

[wooden nexus]

I'm trying to avoid using smods as much as possible really (i struggle with take_ownership)

[sonic cedar]

but they modify here

[wooden nexus]

ok so lemme test this out then

[sonic cedar]

this is in Game:start_run btw

[wooden nexus]

if self.GAME.stake >= 3 then self.GAME.modifiers.scaling = 5 end
This is my test to see if it works

I can't tell if this is different

I don't think it is?

the lovely dump says it is different tho

[modern kindle]

An easy way to see would be by checking it with and without your changes

[sonic cedar]

What ante is this

[wooden nexus]

2

Yeah it's the same with and without my changes, idk what's up

[robust marsh]

How would I make a joker have a chance to trigger its original effect instead of it always being guaranteed? I know i'd have to hook into Card:calculate_joker but from there I don't exactly know where to go

[frosty rampart]

it could be that increasing it beyond 3 doesn't actually do anything, but idk how the scaling system works exactly

[sonic cedar]

House in ante 2 for me is 1600 so

[frosty rampart]

that doesn't make sense

boss blind is 2x base score, 900 * 2 = 1800

[gusty compass]

Yea the calc works, but does it support up to 2dp?

Or only 1dp

[frosty rampart]

what is 2dp

[gusty compass]

2 decimal points

Like 1.01

[frosty rampart]

i think so? at least when it's below 10; i'm pretty sure it'll switch to displaying 1dp between 10 and 100, and then it won't display decimal points at all above 100
(it should still calculate at 2dp under the hood even above 100)

[sonic cedar]

I was on the wrong stake lmao

[wooden nexus]

Ugh, this is gonna be a pain to take ownership of literally EVERY stake from Blue -> Gold

[gusty compass]

The power won't be above 10-100 often, so that should be fine

Thanks again

[charred widget]

if I wanted a joker to check if a specific other joker was immediately to the left or right of it after the end of a shop, how would I do that?

i already know it involves context.ending_shop

[frosty rampart]

check blueprint code in vanillaremade for how to get the joker immediately to the right, it should be fairly easy to adjust that for immediately to the left as well

[charred widget]

alright

[robust marsh]

[sonic cedar]

see but like
in what manner

[gusty compass]

I suppose planet cards break the illusion a bit lol

[wooden nexus]

To take ownership of a stake, I would do

    modifiers = function()
        [Modifiers here]
    end,
)```

right?

[frosty rampart]

SMODS.Stake at the start, but otherwise yes

[robust marsh]

I want to structure my edition similarly to how debuff works but with tweaks

[wooden nexus]

I just copied from the wiki, mb

[frosty rampart]

also i think if you take ownership of blue, it should apply to everything above it (because purple applies blue, orange applies purple, and gold applies orange). at least test that before you go through with taking ownership of everything up to gold

[charred widget]

is this the part of blueprint's code that detects the joker to the right?
if card.area and card.area == G.jokers then
local other_joker
for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i + 1] end
end

[wooden nexus]

I think i got it?

well it changed

it just made it crash with "Self" instead of G like i should've done

4 discards, so far so good...

[slim ferry]

correct

[frosty dock]

hi

[wooden nexus]

is 1000 right for scaling 3?

[frosty rampart]

yes

[charred widget]

so i + 1 would be the joker to the right?

[slim ferry]

yea

[wooden nexus]

ok so i did get it working, good

Welp, time to add the rest

[frosty dock]

hardcoding to 3 seems not quite right

i think it won't work well with effects on top of it

[frosty rampart]

before you do that, do something else (like -3 discards or something lmao) and check to see if it applies on higher stakes

[slim ferry]

in any cardarea, position n is the card in the nth position from the left side of the cardarea (e.g. brainstorm would target G.jokers.cards[1])

[wooden nexus]

ok lemme try

I put minus 3 discards to test

[errant arrow]

for hex color codes, do i have to put it in a ['(colorcodehere)'] table?

[robust marsh]

uranium stake: -3 discards -4 hands

[errant arrow]

bruh

i hate discord's formatting sometimes...

[frosty dock]

smods does this: G.GAME.modifiers.scaling = (G.GAME.modifiers.scaling or 1) + 1 to increment the scaling

[wooden nexus]

ok the -3 works on blue stake

[frosty dock]

(stake application order is not consistent)

[wooden nexus]

lemme look on purple

[frosty rampart]

yay, glad you don't have to take ownership of a bunch of stakes

[wooden nexus]

i do...*

[frosty rampart]

o...

[wooden nexus]

I have to move the effects down one after all lol

[frosty rampart]

dang

[frosty dock]

you can just do that in a loop though if you're just moving everything down

[charred widget]

so what i'm trying to do is get Necrozma (a joker) to check if Solgaleo or Lunala (two other jokers) are immediately to its left or right at the end of a shop

[errant arrow]

.
-# i just realized im missing context, this is in relation of rarities

[wooden nexus]

idr how to do that sadly, so manually it is

[frosty dock]

shouldn't be that hard, lemme show you

[slim ferry]

the HEX function takes a string of the hex code as input

[robust marsh]

again if anyone knows, how exactly do debuffs prevent cards from scoring?

[errant arrow]

so i can just leave it as

badge_colour = FF4A44

[wooden nexus]

I plan to move everything from purple to gold down one level (so it's now blue to orange) and then give a new effect to gold

[frosty dock]

local stakes = {'blue','purple','orange','gold'}
for i=1,#stakes-1 do
  SMODS.Stake:take_ownership(stakes[i], {
    modifiers = SMODS.Stakes['stake_'..stakes[i+1]].modifiers
  }, true)
end

oops, there

[wooden nexus]

But what will happen to gold since i have the a stake beyond it?

[frosty dock]

right now, nothing

[wooden nexus]

i just need to make a new one specifically for gold then?

[frosty dock]

you'd take ownership of it separately for the new effect

as it's not an existing one

[wooden nexus]

I feel bad for whoever decided to do Travel deck on new Gold

[slim ferry]

local my_pos
for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do --find own position

[errant arrow]

for rarities, the default weight thing should equal 1 right? and if it doesn't the other rarities lower in chance in comparison?

[wooden nexus]

Got a problem

Whenever I do the take ownership of gold stake, it gives orange the new gold stake ability

[frosty rampart]

take gold stake out of the loop and just take ownership of it separately

[frosty dock]

did you take ownership of gold stake before the others?

it needs to happen after

[wooden nexus]

oh lemme try that

[frosty rampart]

and yea don't take ownership of gold until after the loop

[wooden nexus]

last thing i want is to delete rentals and make people go to ante 12

Ok it works there

and that works

Travel deck players when they ACTUALLY have to get to Ante 12

[frosty dock]

yay

sounds like fun

[wooden nexus]

I got a bunch I still need to do with it, but the plus side is that the blind size is 0.8X the size

[frosty dock]

that's huge for early game

[wooden nexus]

mhm, that's the idea. it's to reference how travel decks of cards are overall smaller

but also since traveling place to place is long that's why it's more antes to win

It does need some rewording now that I'm doing more with win antes than just the deck

[errant arrow]

a...?

[wooden nexus]

So normally it'll be Ante 10 to win, but with Gold or Platinum Stake, it's now Ante 12

[frosty rampart]

it needs to be badge_colour = HEX('FF4A44')

[errant arrow]

ah

[glossy sky]

what's the context for when another joker is removed from your deck through any means (sold, destroyed etc.)?

[charred widget]

Nah bro I'm about to go to work ty tho

[slim ferry]

context.selling_card and context.card.ability.set == "Joker" for selling, i know destroying another joker is context.joker_type_destroyed but i forget what the other_card equivalent for it is

fuck

[glossy sky]

It seems to also just be context.card.

[next timber]

ok can someone help i cant figure out which context im meant to be using to make my deck give +4 mult. when i do context.before the mult gets immediately reset when playing cards start scoring, context.joker_main obviously doesnt work, idk what to do

[slim ferry]

use context.initial_scoring_step for the start of scoring

also context.joker_main should workj

it goes over every single area but the deck would calc last which kinda sucks

[frosty rampart]

^ score gets reset to the base poker hand value after context.before because space joker might level up the hand, so it needs to reset it to the new values

[robust marsh]

    apply = function(self)
        card.debuffed = true
    end,

    calculate = function(self)
        if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'death_proc', 1, 2) then
            card.debuffed = false
            card:set_edition(nil, nil, true, true)
        end
    end,

How would i make my edition's calculate trigger even if the card is debuffed

[frosty dock]

calculation ignoring debuffed cards is bypassed when context.ignore_debuff is set

for contexts included in smods, this only happens for context.debuff_card

[gusty compass]

Do you happen to know if I can override planet cards to include the power bonus (and perhaps edit the anim) in the description or is it off limits

[frosty rampart]

including the power bonus should be possible, although i haven't done that myself yet
editing the animation should also be possible, but through a different route than taking ownership of the individual planets, and i also haven't done that yet

but i'll look into it
i might have to reference potassium

[gusty compass]

Since it looks a bit odd as during the animation, it looks as it it's only editing Chips and mult if it were two parameters only, and the desc only contains chips and mult values

[frosty rampart]

does the animation at least properly align with the new positions of the chips and mult boxes?

[gusty compass]

No as far as I can tell, it behaves as if it isnt following the new design, but the effect works after the anim

[frosty rampart]

ok, that's what i thought

[wintry solar]

What is this power bonus?

[frosty rampart]

new scoring parameter

[gusty compass]

Custom parameter

[wintry solar]

Ah I see

I want to make planet tooltips automatically add new parameters at some point

[frosty rampart]

would be very cool

[gusty compass]

You could also consider making the animations align a bit with the new parameters

Since its a bit off right now, only showing it add to chips and mult, but up to you

[wintry solar]

Yes that would be part of it

[wispy falcon]

How do I set the sprite for locked things and how do I make them unlock under specific conditions?

[gusty compass]

Btw are you planning to make the hand type values in Run Info configurable?

[slim ferry]

what hand type values in run info

as far as i know most things are already configurable

[robust marsh]

mmm nevermind lol, i thought card.debuffed was it but it turns out that was just some faulty code that i left somewhere else preventing jokers from scoring. I still have no idea how debuffs prevent jokers from scoring

[gusty compass]

You know when you look at run info and find the hand types

Like for the amt of time you used them or their chips/mult values

[slim ferry]

i mean you can already just change those right

or do you mean like for scoring parameters

[gusty compass]

I'm not sure

The scoring parameters are fine as far as I know

Like the hand types in the run info menu

Just suggesting that it could prob be made to account for custom parameters maybe in a newer smods update idk

[wintry solar]

That menu is already awfully laid out, I wouldn’t want to try and squeeze more things in there tbh

[frosty rampart]

<@&1133519078540185692>

thanks mods

[wispy falcon]

bump

[gusty compass]

Fair, but maybe there is a possibility that the menu could be reworked in a way, similar to the new and refined mod menu

Maybe it could use scrolling to fit in extra space

(As in the hand types can be laid out wider and maybe a bit taller)

[violet oasis]

You mean set up an unlock condition? Like beat deck at X stake or something?

[final dune]

is jokerforge compatible with talisman & how do i find documentation/resources to make something talisman compatible

looking to try and create a mod (for the first time) that's compatible with cryptid (and i could also maybe use cryptlib?)
i need a good point of reference

[slim ferry]

i assume joker forge is compatible with talisman by default since it can use talisman-exclusive features

and i dont think joker forge has cryptlib stuff rn

well outside of ^chips/mult because cryptlib also has that

[wispy falcon]

Yes

[violet oasis]

You can do that by adding check_for_unlock = function(self, args) to your Joker/Tarot/etc

Like this one check_for_unlock = function(self, args) return args.type == 'win_deck' and get_deck_win_stake('b_anaglyph') > 7 end

It checks if you won a deck and has the gold stake with anaglyph deck

[wispy falcon]

Okay, can I put anything in there or only specific things?

[rotund sable]

Unfortunately I was the guy making it compatible

[final dune]

so it'd work with cryptid?

i'm assuming yes so that's cool

[rotund sable]

Half of the stuff crashed with talisman when ^ mult was added

[violet oasis]

There are specific parameters by default, but you can patch in new parameters if you need something more specific

[slim ferry]

also if youre using joker forge code as a point of reference for actual code then my personal advice is to just not because joker forge code is very messy

[wispy falcon]

Like, I want it to be unlocked, when it is spawned by my specific conditions

[rotund sable]

For things more advanced than +10 chips I agree

Conditions get SUPER messy

[final dune]

I was planning on using cryptposting/cryptid as a point of reference but I don't really know how to code in that yet

[slim ferry]

cryptid code is EXTREMELY messy from what ive seen

if you need an actual code reference use vanillaremade

[rotund sable]

A good point of reference is VanillaRemade if you didn't check that out

[final dune]

is that one compatible

[rotund sable]

Also it's wiki is very helpful

[rotund sable]

Worry about compat later imo

[violet oasis]

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

[rotund sable]

#fuck_talisman

[wispy falcon]

Kinda like how the vanilla legendary's do it but not by using a consumable like the soul. My consumables spawn when 2 specific planet cards are used after each other. Would I need to patch that or is that possible already?

[final dune]

lol i just wanna make sure it works alongside cryptid so i can play it with my other mods

[slim ferry]

it doesnt, though when compat would be needed it has code comments there to see the wiki note about talisman

can info_queue just take a table of name and description directly instead of a center or localization key?

[violet oasis]

I think that's handled by it being a legendary. I don't remember if it's locked or undiscovered tho

[robust marsh]

asking once again because I am starting to become a tiny bit desparate, how do debuffs prevent a joker from scoring

[frosty rampart]

you want to make something on a card score even though that card is debuffed, right? i'd recommend referencing the Blockbuster Counters API, iirc one of the counters debuffs the card its on for as long as the counter exists and it needs to do what you want to do in order to still be able to tick down

[robust marsh]

welll not exactly, I am making an edition specifically for a boss blind that i am making. The premise is that the card's abilities won't trigger unless you hit a 1 in 2 chance

[frosty rampart]

oh i see
i think making it an edition is going down the wrong path tbh (unless you want the boss blind to apply the edition to random cards, in which case i still think just making the blind do it directly makes more sense)
if you do want it to be the boss blind itself doing this to all your jokers, i'd just make it go in context.post_trigger, roll the 1 in 2 chance, and if it fails, do context.other_ret = {} or something of that nature

[robust marsh]

I made it an edition since I didn't know better, and yeah the boss is supposed to pick out a card randomly (one which doesnt have that specific edition) and give it that specific edition whenever you play a hand. That part works but it does feel quite scuffed

[wispy falcon]

The problem is that I'm talking about a consumable, not a joker... Should've mentioned that earlier, sorry

[robust marsh]

hmm... I could try this actually

[frosty rampart]

yea i think design wise it makes more sense for the blind just to be "all jokers have a 1 in 2 chance not to trigger"
if you do want to keep it as an edition though, i think you can just add an additional check to see if the post_trigger is on the joker that the edition is applied to

[frosty rampart]

consumables can still have check_for_unlock

[slim ferry]

bump

or at least

something that isnt an object or localization key at all

would help

[robust marsh]

now that I think about it you are probably right

[wispy falcon]

What do I need to make it unlock when it got spawned?

[robust marsh]

something like this I assume?

[frosty rampart]

i believe so, yes
make sure you have the post_trigger optional feature on too
(also if you want it to be "1 in 2 chance not to trigger" then you should actually just make it for if the roll succeeds, so that oops all 6s properly makes it a 2 in 2 chance not to trigger and fucks you over )

i will say i'm not entirely sure if doing context.other_ret = {} is correct, but try it and if it crashes then it should probably be context.other_ret.jokers = {} instead

[frosty rampart]

i'm not sure, sorry

[robust marsh]

i forgot to enable post trigger, i just did it so i'll see if everything works

and yeah i fixed the chance

[frosty rampart]

actually you can probably just directly call unlock_card(card) from the code for when you spawn the card

(the argument to unlock_card has to be the center i think, not a card object)

[robust marsh]

weird, the jokers are firing as usual

[frosty rampart]

hm

[wispy falcon]

I always forget what the difference between center and card is...

[robust marsh]

i'll try context.other_ret.jokers = {}

yeah that worked i think

holy hell

yeah it worked

[frosty rampart]

card object is an individual instance of that card, you can have multiple of them
center is the prototype that represents all instances of the card

if you have a card object, you can get the center with card.config.center

[robust marsh]

@frosty rampart thank you so much

[frosty rampart]

happy to help

[slim ferry]

#💻・modding-dev message #💻・modding-dev message bump

[frosty rampart]

if i knew i would've tried helping already :<

[robust marsh]

actually i should ask while i'm at it, can I draw a shader over the jokers if this blind is active? This was also why I used the edition

[slim ferry]

actually ill just try doing shit with the info_queue for now

[robust marsh]

better late than never

[wispy falcon]

So for example j_modprefix_key.config.center? Or literally card.config.center?

[wintry solar]

yes

[robust marsh]

how would I do that

[frosty rampart]

if you have the key to the card, you can do G.P_CENTERS.j_modprefix_key instead. literally card.config.center is useful if you have the card and it could potentially be one of many cards

actually this is a consumable right

[wispy falcon]

Yes

[frosty rampart]

it would be c_modprefix_key

[wispy falcon]

Oh, right

[wintry solar]

use a drawstep to identify when the blind is active and then draw your shader

[frosty rampart]

anyway you should do P_LOCKED, not P_CENTERS, and check if it exists before unlocking the card (P_LOCKED is a table that only contains locked centers, they're removed when they're unlocked)

[robust marsh]

alrighty

[wispy falcon]

Okay, so I do unlock_card(G.P_LOCKED.c_modprefix_key)?

[frosty rampart]

after checking that G.P_LOCKED.c_modprefix_key exists, yes
and do all this alongside the code that spawns your card, not in the card's check_for_unlock function

[wintry solar]

https://github.com/EremelMods/Ortalab/blob/498cbebaa0226853b76a8d2475717ad393fa5682/objects/jokers/kopi.lua#L62 this is a drawstep for a shader as an example

[slim ferry]

bump.,,,,,,,,,

[sinful crown]

does anyone know how I would go about making a joker that has a chance to turn any scored card into a negative card?

[red flower]

not afaik
why

[slim ferry]

idk i want to just dynamically generate a single box of tag names instead of tooltip soup

if possible

[red flower]

look at midas mask but use set_edition instead of set_ability, also negative playing cards are really broken

[modern kindle]

woah both N and eremel

my goats

[red flower]

hii

[sinful crown]

Alright thank you!

[final dune]

How do I assign a Joker to use Cryptid's Epic rarity? So it has the same rates.

[frosty rampart]

do you mean cryptid crossmod/dependency actually using the epic rarity, or just a new rarity that has the same rate as Epic in cryptid?

[wispy falcon]

Is this wrong? Because it doesn't work...

            unlock_card(G.P_LOCKED.c_cstorm_aries)
        end```

[frosty rampart]

just check if it exists, not if it's equal to true

if G.P_LOCKED.c_cstorm_aries then

[wispy falcon]

Okay

[final dune]

crossmod dependency will work

[frosty rampart]

rarity = "cry_epic"

make sure to either make cryptid a dependency for your mod, or to check that cryptid exists before defining the joker

[robust marsh]

SMODS.DrawStep {
    key = "ghostly_eff",
    order = 20,
    func = function(card)
        if G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key == "bl_tdec_death" then
            if card.sprite_facing == 'front' and (card.config.center.discovered or card.bypass_discovery_center) then
                card.children.center:draw_shader('voucher', nil, card.ARGS.send_to_shader)
            end
        end
    end
}

I'd imagine it's something like this but not too sure

[wispy falcon]

Still doesn't seem to work...

[frosty rampart]

idk then

[wispy falcon]

Wait, the print doesn't get output...

            print("Scorpio!")
            unlock_card(G.P_LOCKED.c_cstorm_scorpio)
        end```

[frosty rampart]

oh shit i just realized
G.P_LOCKED is an ordered list, not a dictionary. so G.P_LOCKED.c_cstorm_scorpio never exists
my fault

just check if not G.P_CENTERS.c_cstorm_scorpio.unlocked then instead
(this assumes that the consumable is actually locked. if it's just undiscovered, replace "unlocked" with "discovered")

[wispy falcon]

And what do I put into unlock_card()?

[frosty rampart]

G.P_CENTERS.c_cstorm_scorpio

[wispy falcon]

I don't know why it has no sprite but it works :D

[wispy falcon]

Thank you :3

Anyone got an idea why it has a sprite after going to the main menu and then continuing the run?

[round lion]

my lovely patches arent working.

the ones that are for smods just.. dont

no errors or nothing

i have the headers like

[robust marsh]

@frosty rampart sorry for being a bother, I wanted to ask how would I exclude a singular joker from the effect that you helped me with earlier?

[frosty rampart]

if it's one specific joker, you can probably just hardcode it. check if context.other_card is the joker you want to exclude, and only try to disable the trigger if it's not that joker

[frosty rampart]

are you unlocking the card before or after you spawn it?

[round lion]

yeah i might just skip crossmodding alltogether at this point

[wispy falcon]

Tried both and it's invisible for both

[round lion]

its not happening

[ocean sinew]

How would I make a card not appear in the collection?

but be able to appear in a run

like a secret card

[round lion]

like genuinely, i have to toml patch the function

[frosty dock]

how are you checking if it's happening?

[round lion]

yet if these tomls dont work i cant do anything

[frosty rampart]

read the documentation
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#common-parameters

[ocean sinew]

ohhh

[frosty rampart]

not sure then, sorry

[ocean sinew]

thanks

so I just set to no_collection to true

[round lion]

i cant find anything in the logs about why its failing

[frosty rampart]

what do you think

[ocean sinew]

I should set it to a function that returns true

cuz having it set as functions would give more control over it

I think

[frosty rampart]

https://tryitands.ee

[ocean sinew]

I'll try

And like and subscribe

[frosty dock]

long shot but it might be a casing issue

<@&1133519078540185692>

[frosty dock]

inconsistently with the actual file names, the file paths kino sends to smods to be loaded with capitalized "Items", which should be kept as the buffer name

which I assume is case sensitive on lovely's side of things

[slim ferry]

is there a way to get the SPECIFIC booster currently opened instead of just the kind?

[faint yacht]

SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER.config.center.key

[slim ferry]

okay

[robust marsh]

yeah it is literally just a single joker, in fact you use it to reach the boss

[frosty rampart]

yea definitely hardcode it

[robust marsh]

trying rn but i'm most definitely doing somethingvery wrong

[clear ocean]

for the audio format are mp3's allowed

[timid zinc]

is there a way to have a playing card apply an effect only when it's in hand that's not just using update cause that seems inefficient

[timid zinc]

allowed but not reccomended

[clear ocean]

what audio format is recommended then

[timid zinc]

ogg

[clear ocean]

let's crack out audacity then

[gilded goblet]

does context.joker_type_destroyed not check for itself? i wanted to check if one specific joker is destroyed and do some stuff

[wintry solar]

what's the effect

[timid zinc]

increasing consumable slots

[wintry solar]

from a playing card whilst it's held in hand?

[timid zinc]

yep

[wintry solar]

that seems exceptionally niche in it's use

[timid zinc]

yep

i meant for it to be for jokers only but well

[final dune]

i'm dumb what do i do for the prefix (have it set as wgs)

[timid zinc]

alternatively i could just figure out how to make it so playing cards cant have that edition, like negative

[frosty rampart]

reference dichrome in paperback, it disables itself from appearing on playing cards I think
(although it still has an effect when it's on playing cards in case other mods fuck around and somehow get it to happen anyway)

[clear ocean]

not sure i should include the gumball voice lines (20 and 21)

[robust marsh]

torturous boss blind but hey it works !1!!!11!

[timid zinc]

it has a secret effect on playing cards? well i gotta know now

[robust marsh]

i'll figure out how to hardcode thi s when i wake up good night gang

[timid zinc]

they said it has to appear on playing cards, i'll just use update

[timid zinc]

doesn't seem like it does anything 😔

[clear ocean]

is there a way to do like a pseudorandomn and have it like 'k_teddy' .. x and 'teddy' .. x

[frosty rampart]

oh it's not in the latest release I think, but in the beta it should give an extra hand or discard when the card is drawn

[faint yacht]

You can, yeah... though I use math.random for mine 'cause it involves sounds instead.

togabalatro.plus95rndsfx = function()
    return 'toga_win95pluscmd'..math.random(1, 12)
end

[feral tree]

bump

[red flower]

you want the regular chip message to not show up at all?

[gilded goblet]

im fucking stupid, i can just use add_to_deck and remove_from_deck

[feral tree]

yes

[red flower]

you probably need to hook or patch something for that

[gusty compass]

Isn't there an attribute to removing the default message

Remove_Default_Message I believe

[red flower]

yes but it won't work in this case because the card is not giving the chips

they want to remove the playing card's chips

the base ones

[gusty compass]

Not the additional ones?

[feral tree]

playing card's chip message, doesn't have to be the actual chips itself

just the message

[gusty compass]

If you want to remove the message, there is an attribute that I'm not sure if I'm correct, but is called Remove_Default_Message

It removes messages such as chips/mult gain I believe

[red flower]

lowercase but yes

[gusty compass]

Yea my bad lol

So almost every attribute and function is normally written lowercase?

[red flower]

yeah

[gusty compass]

Alright

[red flower]

classes are CamelCase

[gusty compass]

Imo it just seems a bit redundant to use two types of case (prob cus I normally just stick to one and its now a personal preference)

[red flower]

everything in lua is a table so it makes sense to differentiate

[gusty compass]

Fair

[willow scroll]

oh wow how convenient i literally need this right about now

[gusty compass]

Well don't make the mistake of writing it camel case with that like I did 🙏

[feral tree]

this?

[red flower]

yeah

[gusty compass]

Yea it looks fine

[red flower]

i dont think it will work tho

[ocean sinew]

ngl they should change that to removedefaultmessage=true instead

[gusty compass]

Huh?

[ocean sinew]

camel case L

[feral tree]

it doesnt yeah

[gilded goblet]

why

makes it harder to read

[gusty compass]

Can't be asked to type _ 😔

[ocean sinew]

I can read it fine

actually should be named to

egassemtluafedevomer

[gusty compass]

Also what does context.other_card add to the if statement exactly?

[ocean sinew]

that way you practice writing backwards while coding

[red flower]

yeah i dont think there's an easy way to do this. idk where in calculation does it make sense to patch something

[red flower]

(nothing)

[ocean sinew]

so you get better at coding cuz u can write backwards

[gusty compass]

Is he trying to simply get rid of the chip message for a card?

[feral tree]

yes

[gusty compass]

I don't really have much knowledge on card context since I use jokers as the main source, but I'm not really sure what context.other_card adds here

[gilded goblet]

actually a cool idea for pseudo-noitacsufbo

[gusty compass]

I'm not sure however

[feral tree]

context.other_card is each individual playing card played

[gusty compass]

Hold on

Context.Individual is for joker effects to happen on cards

[dusk wadi]

help it does this every time i press play hand (using divvy's preview, fantom's preview doesn't work)

[gusty compass]

Im pretty sure context.individual is used for jokers to play their effects on cards

[feral tree]

do i need to update my smods or something for remove_default_message = true to work?

[red flower]

no, a joker can't get rid of the playing card's chip message

remove_default_message is used if you want to get rid of the message your joker is giving the card but in this case you have none

[gusty compass]

What I meant is that context.individual doesnt seem to belong here

[feral tree]

ah

[red flower]

can you explain the intent?

[feral tree]

i want to do the opposite

get rid of the message showing the number of chips the card scored and keep the message my joker is showing

[gusty compass]

You want to replace the message?

Ah

[red flower]

yeah you would need to hook or patch some calculation function for that i think

you can't do that from calculate
