[vale grove]

i dont think anything outside of this code is relevant?

[slim ferry]

like

it

definitely is

i think

since otherwise the money would just work

if this was it

[vale grove]

wdym?

[slim ferry]

well if the whole code was the return the dollars would just apply

[vale grove]

youre kinda confusing me

[slim ferry]

well

the code outside

is probably relevant

[vale grove]

you think?

[slim ferry]

probably

[vale grove]

i dont have anything outside of this SMODS.Joker that would apply to it

except for atlas

[slim ferry]

no like

you only showed a small part of the joker code

[vale grove]

oh i did?

misinput then

heres the full thing

[slim ferry]

i think this should work?

i got no idea whyt he dollars wouldnt apply

[vale grove]

it only doesnt apply if i dont have space tho

it does work if i have space

[slim ferry]

ohh

okay

then just

[stiff locust]

did you do it

[vale grove]

play ur mod?

[stiff locust]

yeah

[vale grove]

not yet

i wanted to fix this first

[stiff locust]

you left in all the 8 ball code

is that intentional

[vale grove]

problem for later lol

first i wanna get this to work

[stiff locust]

it'll only activate if you have a free consumable slot

[vale grove]

well how do i make it only do that for the tarot

and not the money

[stiff locust]

hold on

do you want the money or the tarot

[slim ferry]

do this before the check for space

SMODS.calculate_effect({
  dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars,
  func = function()
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
      func = function()
        G.GAME.dollar_buffer = 0
      end
    }))
  end
  }, card)

[vale grove]

i want the tarot if i have space and the money regardless

[stiff locust]

and what's the probability for

send your code in a code block so i can edit it

[vale grove]

like before that SMODS.add_card?

[vale grove]

how do you do do that?

[slim ferry]

before the check for space

[wild berry]

why doesnt this work?

[stiff locust]

put three ` at the start of your message followed by lua

put three ` at the end of your message

[slim ferry]

like this

[wild berry]

im trying to make a playing card dupe itself when it sees its being destroyed

[slim ferry]

use copy_card

[vale grove]

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

[slim ferry]

yea

[wild berry]

oh

[vale grove]

SMODS.Joker {

                                        }
                                        G.GAME.dollar_buffer = 0
                                        G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
                                        return true
                                    end)
                                }))
                            end
                        },
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end

}

[wild berry]

still doesnt work

it just seems like context.destroying_card doesnt get triggered at all

[vale grove]

okay so with this i get a money proc and then my game freezes

[umbral zodiac]

there's no way to easily raise the weight of an individual joker (especially per-run), right?

[slim ferry]

I forgot

The return true in the event

For resetting the buffer

[wild berry]

how can i check when a card IS being destroyed

through a seal

[vale grove]

okay lol

now the money procs twice

[slim ferry]

Yeah remove the dollars from the return

So its only in the calculate_effect

[vale grove]

now how do i remove the like

visual effect on the proc

[slim ferry]

no_message = true

[vale grove]

what i find strange is that the money procs before the card

is there a way to make it proc after the hand?

[umbral zodiac]

probably trigger = "after", in the event

i dont actually know truly but i would try that and see if it works

[slim ferry]

Its just calculate_effect

So theres no after

[wild berry]

??

[vale grove]

is it exactly that?

[slim ferry]

That removes the money message yeah

Put it in the SMODS.calculate_effect

[wild escarp]

How could I make a consumable only useable in a pack?

[vale grove]

like this it dont work tho

[slim ferry]

Outside of the event

And function

[umbral zodiac]

probably only return true in the can_use function if card.area == G.pack_cards

plus whatever restrictions you want

[pseudo furnace]

is there a detection method to not count extra triggers but only once per played card?

[vale grove]

outside of the function?

wont that disable the whoosh effect aswell?

[slim ferry]

No because the woosh is in a seperate thing

[vale grove]

so where exactly do i put it?

[slim ferry]

Inside SMODS.calculate_effect

SMODS.calculate_effect works the same way as a return table

[vale grove]

okay so it sadly still does the message

with it like this

[slim ferry]

O

Well fuck idk then

[vale grove]

gg

[stiff locust]

if you want no message

use ease_dollars() to add the money

[wintry solar]

no

[stiff locust]

cunningham's law

:)

[wintry solar]

add remove_default_message = true

[vale grove]

i feel like that one wolf with the arguing parents

[stiff locust]

you can summon eremel to correct you by saying something that is inefficient

and eremel is never wrong

[wintry solar]

I am sometimes wrong

[vale grove]

okay so holy eremel

where do i add that line of code?

[wintry solar]

insted of the no message one

[vale grove]

yes exactly

[lunar finch]

Do you need math to mod balatro

[true jasper]

you need numbers

[lunar finch]

NOOOOO

[stiff locust]

there is an entire module called math which we use a fuck ton

[vale grove]

okay wait this is weird

now it gives all of them at the same time in one message

is there no way to make the "whoosh" msg i have also apply the money?

[stiff locust]

is there a max size that a uibox can be

some of my stuff isn't showing up on it and I don't get why

[wintry solar]

whats your full code?

[vale grove]

.

[vale grove]

with this added

actually ill just send an updated ss

[wild berry]

bump

[stiff locust]

oh no fucking wonder actually

[wintry solar]

just send the updated code

[stiff locust]

it's saving the colours as tables

[wintry solar]

just put the dollars stuff in the bottom return

[vale grove]

this?

except for remove default message

[wintry solar]

put the dollars line and the remove default message line in the return table

then delete that calc effect bit entirely

[vale grove]

wont that only trigger if i have space for the tarot htho?

[wintry solar]

move where you detect your space to the function where you add the caard

[vale grove]

okay wait im getting really confused

thats not ur bad im just bad at taking in so many instructions at 2am

[vale grove]

so move dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars, into return {
extra ={ etc

[wintry solar]

yes, although that extra is entirely unnecessary

[vale grove]

is it?

[unkempt thicket]

How do you check if or what challenge you're on?

[vale grove]

now it doesnt trigger if i dont have tarot space

and still gives a separate message for money

although after the hand ends tho so thats good

[static valley]

gonna implement a pot of greed consumable.

• draws 2 cards
• those 2 cards could be anything: jokers (not legendary), consumables, playing cards. The cards drawn could even have a random edition. It could even be another pot of greed

[wintry solar]

because you haven't moved where the check for space is done

[vale grove]

do i need to move it upwards?

[wintry solar]

no, move it into the event where you add the tarot card

[vale grove]

the add dollar line?

[wintry solar]

or rather, the function with that event

[red flower]

G.GAME.challenge

[vale grove]

so move the entire function after the check for space?

oh wait i see

holdon

[willow scroll]

okay so i wanted to see what happened if i replaced smods.blueprint_effect with calculate_joker and uh

i got spammed with repetition check warning

and it does way more calculations

what does that mean exactly im not familiar with repetition checks

[red flower]

it means that you're returning things in context.repetition that doesn't contain repetitions

[willow scroll]

ah i see

[vale grove]

okay so now it does work but how do i make the money message happen withing the whoosh message

like to be more specific i want the woosh to trigger and then get the money and tarot card simulataniously

[wintry solar]

can you copy the return code and I will fix it for you?

[primal robin]

I hope that this kind of config, splitted in sections, will be easier to understand for players. If not - then I have no idea what to do

[jolly shadow]

Capitalize "actions", "zone" and remove "& Vanilla"

[primal robin]

[stiff locust]

i simply do not understand what the categories mean besides keybinds and presets

why does your mod have info popups and what are the levels for i've never seen them

[primal robin]

I'll describe this too

In Appearance section

[vale grove]

okay after alot of testing

i got it to work before and after the round

but not during like

when other jokers trigger

[vapid flume]

i wonder is there a way to like delete a basegame joker? ik taking ownership is a thing so i feel like it should be possible

[red flower]

you can take ownership and add an in_pool function that returns false

and you can probably add no_collection if you don't want it to appear at all

hey yall, i currently have this code and i cant seem to figure out how to play the whoosh effect at the start of the round and the money/tarot generation when other normal jokers play, is there a way to set that up?

[left breach]

chattt how do I modify current anet

ante*

in lua

[faint yacht]

ease_ante(number)?

[left breach]

does it support like

+ante

*ante

and ^ante?

I'm very new to modding, only mods I've tried to make were in jokerforge 😭

[frosty rampart]

ease_ante(number) adds number to the current ante i believe

[idle plaza]

Yeah

[left breach]

ooo cool :D

I might try to code it right now but like

I feel like you guys will suffer trying to help me cause as I said idk lua 😭

is this right

I want it to be ease_ante(current_ante) or however that's done :p

eventually might do ^ante but just doing like

ease_ante(current_ante*current_ante)

or ease_ante(current_ante*current_ante*2) however that's done

is this a good idea chat? :D

chat? :(

[paper lava]

what are you trying to do here

[left breach]

spectral card

like this

[paper lava]

ohhhh, you want to make a spectral card that changes your ante?

[left breach]

yeah

3 separate ones

+ante, *ante, and ^ante

cause I get runs that can get to really high antes and I just get bored cause like

skip skip play 1000 times is just... not fun

[frosty rampart]

you should probably either adjust the blind scaling to keep up with typical scoring in your mod, or consider rebalancing your mod (i prefer the latter, because it means that vanilla content doesn't get outclassed by modded content)

[left breach]

I'm not making a joker mod :p

this is for my cryptid runs :p

[paper lava]

1. debug mods will allow you to set ante
2. let me look at cryptid's analog

[frosty rampart]

you should consider not playing cryptid /lh

[left breach]

but being able to set ante is way less fun than like fishing for a pointer to get perkeo then duping *ante a bunch of times

[red flower]

you should consider not playing cryptid /srs

also this is how you make spectrals
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/spectrals.lua

[left breach]

huh

this looks a lot more complex than I thought :p

or wait nvm

[red flower]

a lot of these are complex because they have animations and stuff

[left breach]

that top part is for custom consumable class

[idle plaza]

Yeah, you won't need that

[red flower]

but you can just have a use function with ease_ante

[left breach]

yeah I think I'll do that

[red flower]

why does the comment say tarot lol

[left breach]

this prob won't be public, so I just need to make something that works :p

[red flower]

let me fix that

[left breach]

oh ye it does xD

so I need to use smods.consumable I'm guessing?

[red flower]

yes

[left breach]

so is this good?

[paper lava]

might want to add a loc_txt param

[frosty rampart]

good start
pos is the position of the art on the spritesheet though, so it probably won't be at (4, 4) when you get the art in

[left breach]

ohhh

should it be 0 0

the art will just be a placeholder thing tho

[frosty rampart]

if the art for that one is gonna be in the very top left corner, yea

[left breach]

with a +, *, and ^ on top of it

[left breach]

yeah

[frosty rampart]

anyway i'd say use a central localization file instead of a loc_txt thing in each consumable, but tbh this mod is gonna be so small that loc_txt would be fine

[left breach]

what's a loc_txt?

[paper lava]

basically where you put the name and description of your things

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#loc_txt

[left breach]

ooo alr

what do I add next

to make this work

?

didn't change 4 4 so far btw

srry abt that, gonna do that rn

[sturdy compass]

are you using notepad...

[left breach]

there we go

[left breach]

...yes....

[idle plaza]

Lua's syntax for creating a function isn't function() {}, it's function() end

[sturdy compass]

please use VSCode

[left breach]

huh

alr

[left breach]

I'll install it when I'm done :D

I'm just like in the mood for modding rn and I don't wanna lose that

[sturdy compass]

It will make it 100x easier if you do it now

trust me

It will actually tell you if something is wrong

[left breach]

like this?

[left breach]

alr

I will start the install rn

[idle plaza]

Yeah. Well, typical formatting has the end line matching the same indent as its function line, but it can work either way regardless.

[left breach]

ooo good to know :D

I'm assuming this won't work tho

because no art

vscode installed

[idle plaza]

You haven't defined an Atlas for it, so it'll work, but it'll default to the vanilla consumable Atlas.

[left breach]

that's bad cause I won't know what card this is

how do I make an atlas and assign this to it

?

[paper lava]

this is how my atlas is set up
SMODS.Atlas({key = 'possession_blind', path = 'Blind.png', px = 34, py = 34, frames = 21, atlas_table = 'ANIMATION_ATLAS'})
so change out all my variables (key, path) for yours

[idle plaza]

Pos 0, 0 is the Fool.

[left breach]

ohhh and this is a spectral

so if I see a Fool in a spectral pack I'll know it's one of these?

[paper lava]

mhm

that or if you see a fool with no name/description when you hover over it (?)

[left breach]

wait will it be no name or will it be the key I put here

"pante"

[paper lava]

uhhhhhh, it might be the key, idk
but probably no name

[idle plaza]

Pretty sure it'll just have no name.

[left breach]

how do I make it have a name then? not too worried about graphics

[paper lava]

loc_txt would be easiest

[idle plaza]

loc_txt = {
  name = "name",
  text = {
    "line 1",
    "line 2",
    "etc..."
  }
},

[left breach]

what are the lines?

[idle plaza]

The lines of the description of the card. Balatro doesn't automatically wrap lines around if they're too long.

[left breach]

I might just leave them empty but like

how do I have more htan one name?

so different cards have different names

[idle plaza]

Each card gets its own loc_txt

[idle plaza]

It's part of the SMODS.Consumable section here.

[left breach]

??? I thought loc_txt was a file 😭

[paper lava]

no? you put it in the same spot as key,set,pos

[idle plaza]

You can add a localization file but for smaller mods, you can also just have it as part of your main code.

[left breach]

so like this?

[paper lava]

yes, but please for the love of jimbo fix your indenting

[left breach]

alr :D

[paper lava]

also you might want to change your text to span 2 lines, but it should be fine

[left breach]

this better?

[paper lava]

much better

[left breach]

:D

so this will just work

?

[idle plaza]

Yes.

[left breach]

alright, imma need to ask another question for the other ones

how do I get the number that's current ante?

[idle plaza]

G.GAME.round_resets.ante

[left breach]

soo

ease_ante(G.GAME.round_resets.ante) should be x2 ante?

[idle plaza]

Yes

[left breach]

:D

this good?

[idle plaza]

Yeah.

[paper lava]

right, mom said its my turn to ask for help

anyone able to tell why my hand is not allowed when i have >=4 suits?

i want this to be compatible with mods that add suits (like bunco), so thats why im not doing this the flowerpot way

nvm i just saw a typo
SMODS.Suit => SMODS.Suits

nvm, still not working

[idle plaza]

What's the code now?

[left breach]

srry to interrupt but what did I do wrong 😭

[paper lava]

is game crashing? what's your issue

[left breach]

no, the mod doesn't appear

it's on in bmm

so ye does anyone know why it doesn't appear?

[paper lava]

unsure

just to make sure, you did close+reopen balatro after saving changes, yeah?

[left breach]

yeah balatro was closed

[idle plaza]

Add a "prefix" line to your json

[left breach]

while I was coding

[left breach]

ohhh what do I put in there

[paper lava]

smth along the lines of "Antesq_"

[idle plaza]

You don't need the _

[left breach]

I just put ant

:p

[paper lava]

should work i think

[left breach]

IT'S THEREEE TYSM YALL

:D

[idle plaza]

Anyways, the purpose of the prefix is to help ensure two items from two mods can generally have the same name.

So for example, the key for your Plus Ante consumable will now be "c_ant_pante" due to the prefix you set.

[left breach]

huh

[left breach]

ohhh

that makes sense :D

why can't I use the cards?

[sturdy compass]

No can_use function

[idle plaza]

I guess the can_use function is required for each one. I would've expected it to just default to true if it didn't exist, but oh well.

can_use = function(self, card)
  return true
end,

[left breach]

thx guys :D

imma try

ITW ORKS!!!

[paper lava]

hype

[paper lava]

anyways, bringing this back cuz i still need help

suitcount is < 4 despite me clearly selecting >4 suits

even selecting 5 wild cards doesnt work

unless im grossly misunderstanding lua documentation, idfk what is going wrong here

[idle plaza]

Don't know for sure if this is the issue, but try using SMODS.has_enhancement(cards[i], "m_wild") to check for wild cards.

[loud summit]

so how exactly do you do crossmod content

[frosty rampart]

if next(SMODS.find_mod('the id of the mod')) then
  -- insert crossmod content here
end

[paper lava]

not the issue

[ivory citrus]

hello, i have a little problem, i'm doing a challenge and when i try make it negative dont works, i'm try to see vanilla remade but it's the same as my code

[true jasper]

do this instead of edition

[idle plaza]

According to https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Challenge, your edition key should NOT have e_

In addition, the edition you give shouldn't have {} around it, in general.

You might be looking at an outdated branch of Vanilla Remade because I see:

-- Monolith
SMODS.Challenge {
    key = 'monolith_1',
    jokers = {
        { id = 'j_obelisk', eternal = true },
        { id = 'j_marble',  eternal = true, edition = 'negative' },
    },
}

[ivory citrus]

oh

i'm really stupid

thank you very much, its work

[idle plaza]

Cool

[paper lava]

right, ive narrowed the problem down to SMODS.Suits not working how i thought it would

i thought it would give me a table of all suits, but i think it gives me an empty table?

ie i thought it was
SMODS.Suits = {"Hearts", "Spades", "Clubs", "Diamonds"}
but instead, it's
SMODS.Suits = {}

[frosty rampart]

something is wrong possibly

because SMODS.Suits has suits in it on my end
it could be that it only populates SMODS.Suits if custom suits are added? idk

[paper lava]

weird, i have bunco on and it uses SMODS.Suits

[frosty rampart]

oh wait i just read your code

the entries in SMODS.Suits aren't strings, but the whole Suit objects

also the table isn't ordered, so you can't do #SMODS.Suits or index it with a number

you need to do this
for i, v in pairs(SMODS.Suits) do
and then i will be the string you want and v will be a bunch of extra information about the suits that you don't need

[loud summit]

so you can just use the include file directive to add jokers from a file conditionalyl?

[frosty rampart]

the what now

[loud summit]

the uhh

whats it called in lua hang on

[frosty rampart]

if you mean loading a file then yea, just call the function to load the file inside the if statement i gave you

[loud summit]

yea load file

[loud summit]

whats cryptids id again

[idle plaza]

Cryptid

[loud summit]

thx

[paper lava]

works now, ty

[loud summit]

how do you get the id from card.seal

and does it have the mod prefix applied

      "items/jokers",
      "lib/atlas"
}

local crossmodfiles = {
      "cryptid",
}

for i, v in pairs(files) do
    assert(SMODS.load_file(v..".lua"))()
end

for i, v in pairs(crossmodfiles) do
    if next(SMODS.find_mod(v)) then
       assert(SMODS.load_file("crossmod/" .. v .. ".lua"))
    end
end``` is there anything that stands out here?

[idle plaza]

The C in Cryptid has to be capitalized, because that's how its Mod ID is.

[loud summit]

oh

[idle plaza]

If you ever want to check a mod's ID, it'll always be listed in that mod's json file.

[loud summit]

oke thanks

[clear ocean]

wait looked it up, G.GAME.modifiers.booster_choice_mod

[wind steppe]

what is actually contained in G.I.CARD?

[clear ocean]

well that's for choice mod, but what about the size?

[idle plaza]

It's "choice_mod" has in "modification to the number of choices"

[loud summit]

ok so the joker i added in the crossmod file isnt being added to the jokers list

i know its being loaded by SMODS.load_file because it errors for syntax

[clear ocean]

not sure if i did it right

[idle plaza]

I was referring to the "choice_mod" part of "booster_choice_mod"

[clear ocean]

oh

well that wasn't working either not sure if i was doing it right

G.GAME.modifiers.booster_size_mod = G.GAME.modifiers.booster_size_mod + card.ability.extra.size
G.GAME.modifiers.booster_choice_mod = G.GAME.modifiers.booster_choice_mod + card.ability.extra.size

are they read only or is it done by a different method like booster_size_mod(x)

[manic rune]

is it possible to move an existing uibox's position?

[loud summit]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "opensource",
    name = "Open Source",

    atlas = "jokers1",
    pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },

    rarity = 2,
    cost = 5,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    demicolon_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local trigger = context.force_trigger

        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            trigger = (card.seal == "Green")
        end

        if not trigger then return end

        print("we are triggering!")
        local outcomes = {"c_cry_commit", "c_cry_rework", "c_cry_delete"}
        local judgement = pseudorandom_element(outcomes, "nflame_opensource")
        SMODS.add_card{key = judgement}
    end,
}``` does ANYTHING stand out here that would make the joker not appear in the collection??

[clear ocean]

im going to go to sleep

[wind steppe]

is that atlas real

[loud summit]

yes?

my other jokers are using it

[wind steppe]

no idea then

[loud summit]

:(

[wind steppe]

you are loading the file right

[loud summit]

ya its erroring on typos

[true jasper]

collection = false iirc

[loud summit]

what

[frosty rampart]

no it's currently not appearing in the collection even though he wants it to appear

[gusty iron]

how would i save someone from death if a certain value is atleast 1?

(EX: G.GAME.JCJ_extralives)

[true jasper]

ohhhhhhhhhhh

[loud summit]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/24ee6098f692a58a34d573dec5a86a347c5fd13a/src/jokers.lua#L3086

[frosty rampart]

you gotta work your programmer brain here
if (a certain value is at least 1) then (save someone from death. see Mr. Bones in VanillaRemade to do the save thing)

[gusty iron]

oh this isnt a joker

[wind steppe]

i assume they want to do it outside of a joker

[gusty iron]

i have a consumable that just gives you an extra life

[frosty rampart]

then do it in the global mod calculate

[gusty iron]

(It represents a "for" loop)

[loud summit]

you can give mods calculate functions that work the same as jokers

[gusty iron]

i might just hook the death function

[wind steppe]

i forgot mod calculate existed

[gusty iron]

...if i can do that

[frosty rampart]

do it in the global mod calculate. it's easier

[gusty iron]

i have

ZERO idea what that is 🔥

[idle plaza]

Instead of name, try:

loc_txt = {
  name = "name",
  text = {
    "description line 1",
    "line 2",
    "etc..."
  }
},

[loud summit]

im using a localization file, do i just fill in the key for it?

[frosty rampart]

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
  -- this is a calculate function
  -- you can return like Mr. Bones does in here
end

throw this literally anywhere in your mod as long as it's not inside anything else like a joker
source: the smods 0827 release notes https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/discussions/919

[true jasper]

you dont need a name in the joker definition

[loud summit]

sooo anything else that stands out

      "items/jokers",
      "lib/atlas"
}

local crossmodfiles = {
      "Cryptid",
}

for i, v in pairs(files) do
    assert(SMODS.load_file(v..".lua"))()
end

for i, v in pairs(crossmodfiles) do
    if next(SMODS.find_mod(v)) then
       assert(SMODS.load_file("crossmod/" .. v .. ".lua"))
    end
end
``` heres my main

[gusty iron]

and is there anyway to add a counter in the main gui that shows your lives

(im planning on having it also show on the for card, but for easier access)

[sturdy compass]

You’re not calling your assert

[loud summit]

what

[sturdy compass]

No () at the end of the crossmod file loading

[loud summit]

oh

[gusty iron]

or would i just have to patch it in

[robust marsh]

can I remove the info queues that aren't the consumables themselves? For context, this card is supposed to display the info queue of up to 3 different consumables

[loud summit]

uhh look at how entropy does it ig

[gusty iron]

what strings should i look for? im not too familiar with entropy

[round lion]

if im lovely patching a mod and want to use a multiline, will i have to paste in the pattern exactly? or will i be fine with leaving the lines flat

[idle plaza]

What is your current code for it?

[loud summit]

deck of containment and entropy

(yea the value is also called entropy :()

[sturdy compass]

I think it looks for exact

Minus indents for parent lines

[gusty iron]

for

[true jasper]

so true!

[gusty iron]

thanks spaghetti monster

[loud summit]

oh no the lua code is escaping into the game

hey so is it safe to set consumeable_buffer to 0?

when spawning a card in event

[robust marsh]

yeah i do that, should be fine

[loud summit]

oke it just feels wrong ig lol

[lavish elm]

how to get the description of a joker as a string

[loud summit]

localize(set = "Joker", key = "j_pfx_yourjokerkey") i believe?

[lavish elm]

ok another quick question when using the id_card function what is the ID of aces I tried 1 and it didn't work

[robust marsh]

14

[lavish elm]

if 14 is ace then what is 1?

[true jasper]

nothing

[lavish elm]

ok makes sense

[lavish elm]

tried it gave me an error

[loud summit]

then idk

[true jasper]

for an info queue?

[loud summit]

its something to do with localization

[lavish elm]

no already got that one figured out I want to get the description of all the jokers in my deck each one as a string

[robust marsh]

how would i make it so you can take a joker from a booster even if the slots are full? I already did something similar with the shop by hooking check_for_buy_space

[loud summit]

you could try setting the joker buffer to a negative number

[true jasper]

according to someone else
extra_slots_used = -1

[robust marsh]

not the best practice since i'm already using hooks for other similar functions

[robust marsh]

it's not joker specific

otherwise i'd be doing that

[robust marsh]

i'll just try this for now

[wintry solar]

I don’t quite remember the name of the other function but it’s something like can select card

[robust marsh]

thank you so much

I couldn't find it

done

[last sentinel]

how could i make it so the context.blueprint_card juices up in this instead of the joker being copied. Swapping out "card" for "(context.blueprint_card or card)" doesnt seem to work

[lament agate]

how does versioning works again

[normal crest]

before adding the event do local eff_card = context.blueprint_card or card then use eff_card inside the event

[robust marsh]

guys I'm tryna make a new poker hand of four 7s of different suits, but it doesn't work, this is my code (i've never programmed before) can someone help?
-- Primera: 4 unique suits
SMODS.PokerHandPart {
key = 'primera',
func = function(hand)
if #hand < 4 then return {} end
local unique_suits = (get_unique_suits(hand, nil, true) or 0)
if unique_suits >= 4 then
return {
cards = hand,
name = "Primera"
}
end
return nil
end
}

-- Primera 7: exactly four 7s
SMODS.PokerHandPart {
key = "primera_7",
func = function(hand)
if #hand == 4 then
for _, card in ipairs(hand) do
local val = (card and card.nominal) or 0
if val ~= 7 then return nil end
end
return {
cards = hand,
name = "Four Sevens"
}
end
return nil
end
}

SMODS.PokerHand {
key = 'Primera',
visible = true,
chips = 100,
mult = 14,
l_chips = 30,
l_mult = 7,
loc_txt = "Primera",
example = {
{ 'S_7', true },
{ 'H_7', true },
{ 'C_7', true },
{ 'D_7', true },
{ 'H_Q', false },
},

"A special Napoli hand.",
"Requires four {C:attention}7{} of different suits.",

},
evaluate = function(parts)
if not next(parts.napoli_primera) and not next(parts.napoli_primera_7) then
return {}
end
return {SMODS.merge_lists(parts.napoli_primera, parts.napoli_primera_7)}

[pseudo furnace]

Is there a way to detect which card is currently scoring? Like the [3]rd card returns 3?

[true jasper]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/24ee6098f692a58a34d573dec5a86a347c5fd13a/src/jokers.lua#L3380

[pseudo furnace]

Hanging Chad, of course! Thanks

[true jasper]

wrong emoji first time around lol

[glass scaffold]

Alright, I just throw this into a lovely.toml file, change the variable from the code, and call it a day or is there more to do?

[rotund sable]

I think that's it

You could also make a lovely folder with individual patch files

To make things more organized

[glass scaffold]

Thanks for doing the patching. I'd be cooked if you weren't here.

-# Give me a funny variable name.

-# Bonus for mentioning the G.GAME.SSS var

[rotund sable]

Super_secret_variable_responsible_for_reroll_text_that_replaced_the_SSS_var

[rotund sable]

Oh god you combined snake case and pascal case

😨

[glass scaffold]

Hey, I wanted the funny, not the looks-nice-variable-name.

And you delivered

This should work, yeah?

[glass scaffold]

So that did not work cause it stays at $10.

[true jasper]

Just do if you have the voucher do this, then have the else if you don't

[glass scaffold]

I tried that approach early on and that oddly didn't work out. Apparently, this is working technically but not visually.

Yep, still at $10.
-# Why won't you change?

[wintry solar]

Have you changed the ui element?

[rotund sable]

You'd either have to change it before the ui appears or recalculate it

Assuming the patch worked

Because looking at the change text that might not be the case

[glass scaffold]

Lemme re-arrange it in my voucher.lua

[rotund sable]

See the lovely/dump

lovely/dump/functions/UI_definitions

[glass scaffold]

Alright, what do I need to look for?

[rotund sable]

Ctrl+f to find the function mentioned in the patch

The create_UIBox_blind_select

[lament agate]

how do you detect if a card is unscored

[glass scaffold]

It looks like no changes got made.

[rotund sable]

Did you load the patch correctly

Either in lovely.toml or lovely/name.toml

[glass scaffold]

Yep, it's in lovely.toml.

Wait, does it need to be outside of my components folder for it to get recognized?

[rotund sable]

It needs to be in the root directory 😭

Of the mod

[glass scaffold]

Alright, lemme test it. I moved it.

-# Yes, I AM this stupid sometimes.

[glass scaffold]

Ok, moved it to the root aaaaaaaand:

[rotund sable]

.

[glass scaffold]

Ignore the var names, they match within both files

[rotund sable]

Also you can check the lovely/dump again

[wintry solar]

You need to set that value when you redeem your voucher

Currently it’s when you press the button

[glass scaffold]

Made this change, let's see if it helps

WE HAVE WORKING CODE!

[robust marsh]

how would I get every sticker that is currently on a joker?

[wintry solar]

You’d have to loop through SMODS.Stickers and check if they are present

I might make a util function for that

[robust marsh]

alrighty

[floral marsh]

why am I getting an error here saying G.GAME.hands["whicheverhandhere"].level is a table

when I print it its telling me a number

[glass scaffold]

you, E' Farmer, and SomethingCom all get collab credit for doing all this.

[daring fern]

Do you have Talisman installed?

[floral marsh]

yes

what

wtf

[daring fern]

Talisman turns poker hand levels into tables, so you would need to use to_big

[floral marsh]

why is that a thing

whatever

[rotund sable]

Because Talisman

[slim ferry]

because thats how bignum works

talisman makes you to_big like fucking everything

[jolly shadow]

used to_big on my ex wife, she was not amused

[floral marsh]

so do I just put to_big(thehand.level) instead

everywhere

[slim ferry]

no

the hand level is already big

you would do to_big(6) instead of just 6

same with whatever that other number is

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

[robust marsh]

i was testing my recipe system and realized gluttonous joker is spelled as gluttenous joker

[floral marsh]

oh I see

I dont affect the level but the number Im checking

[slim ferry]

also the thing at the end is pretty important if your mod doesnt require talisman anyway

[floral marsh]

yeah I shall add that

I dont intend to make my mod require talisman cuz am trying to keep it as balanced as I could make it

unlike cryptid

[slim ferry]

except cryptid will also be losing the talisman dependency at some point in the future..

still not the most balanced but its something

[floral marsh]

we love exotic jokers

[slim ferry]

i mean tbf most of them arent all too insane

theres just a few more problematic ones like crustulum and tenebris and ace aequilibrium

which are just fucking stupid

[floral marsh]

isnt tenebris the one giving 25 whole joker slots AND 25$

[slim ferry]

yeah

[floral marsh]

its terribly overpowered

[true jasper]

I hate speculo

[slim ferry]

joker slots are way too versatile to just. give 25 casually

[floral marsh]

I remember getting it on that one deck giving a free exotic and -2 joker slots

[slim ferry]

oh yeah

speculo

speculo is also fucking stupid

and scalae how could i forget

[floral marsh]

huh

[slim ferry]

huh

[floral marsh]

I prob forgot a line there

[slim ferry]

i cant believe they added None to vanilla

[true jasper]

ate the name sorry

I was hungry

[floral marsh]

at least it leveled down my pair

just need to fix the ui

[robust marsh]

nothing hand

[slim ferry]

is this not a context where you can just return level_up = -1

because theres quite a few where you can

[floral marsh]

ima check out space joker

cuz

[slim ferry]

alternatively just use SMODS.smart_level_up_hand

[floral marsh]

so smart

sure

[slim ferry]

oh wait

level_up return is true/false not a number apparently

i think

[floral marsh]

I think it is a number

[slim ferry]

nevermind

the arm does this

[floral marsh]

the arm remade has a number

[slim ferry]

wtf

[floral marsh]

yea

[slim ferry]

but space and burnt use true

[floral marsh]

ye

[slim ferry]

speaking of burnt what the fuck is a context.hook

[wintry solar]

It’s valid in every context

[true jasper]

hook boss discard

[slim ferry]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

i see

[floral marsh]

but like

what does space upgrade

[true jasper]

I have in my Joker that resets when discard

[floral marsh]

the played hand right?

[slim ferry]

the currently displayed hand

[true jasper]

Yes

[slim ferry]

which is the played hand

[floral marsh]

yeah so I cant really use it, the curse I made directly targets the most played hand and substracts 5 levels from it

[slim ferry]

oh okay

[wintry solar]

You can do that

[slim ferry]

then use SMODS.smart_level_up_hand(card, hand, instant, amount)

i imagine

[wintry solar]

Add level_up_hand = “hand name” alongside the level up return

[slim ferry]

oh

[wintry solar]

If the question is “can I do this via the return table”, most of the time the answer is yes

[floral marsh]

oh

well okay

smods.smart_level_up_hand did the animation but increased by one the level instead 🗿

am gonna attempt the space joker strat

[slim ferry]

yeah youre supposed to put in -5 for the amount

to level it down by 5

[floral marsh]

as I did

but it leveled up by 1

[slim ferry]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

fuck idk

[floral marsh]

well I cant return tables with a consumable so I will have to get the Black Hole's code, and modify it

which is roughly

25 lines

:D..

[slim ferry]

i mean

you can remove most of it

[floral marsh]

yeah

[slim ferry]

since a lot of it is just the all hand level up animation

[floral marsh]

I need like 2 update_hand_text()

[slim ferry]

why

arent you only affecting 1 hand

[floral marsh]

its doing the leveling but

the hand name doesnt show up

and the text stays at the end

[slim ferry]

smart_level_up_hand takes care of that for you

at least its supposed to

actually

[floral marsh]

yeah but why wouldnt it allow negative leveling

[slim ferry]

what value is levels_removed

[slim ferry]

it should

[floral marsh]

and x -1

[manic rune]

can u try using a number value instead of a big num 🤔

the issue could be in there

[slim ferry]

you dont need to do to_big on arithmetics

only comparisons

[floral marsh]

that shouldnt be an issue should it?

[slim ferry]

it shouldnt

i dont think

can you just show the entire use function

[floral marsh]

I dont use localization yet dont blame me

I should do smth rq

adding the config

instead of just

5

[slim ferry]

you could instead of the check just do

local levels_removed = math.min(card.ability.extra.levels_lost, G.GAME.hands[hand_current].level - 1)

[ashen drift]

what do i hook/patch to add ui stuff here

[manic rune]

create_UIBox_blind_choice iirc

[ashen drift]

this?

[manic rune]

mhm

scroll down, in the return thats where you want to add

[ashen drift]

ohhh

i was wondering why it was so small i thought the end was just the end of the function

[rotund sable]

You could technically do it in a hook

[ashen drift]

i guess

this is an eyesore i feel like my head is gonna explode

[floral marsh]

okay I found the issue

levels_removed returns a to_big() table

talisman ah-

[wild berry]

how can i make the variable apply for just the card

while still being able to display it

the venomcount

because

the way im doing it rn

it just changes it for every single card that has the seal

[floral marsh]

holy

am never making a ui in balatro 👍

[daring fern]

Use card.ability.seal instead of self.config

[wild berry]

ohhh ok

ty

but

in the loc_vars

card is not returned

i mean

its not given

[ashen drift]

okay i think create_UIBox_blind_choice is for this part?

i didnt see the or text or the tag

[wild berry]

nvm

[ashen drift]

actually this could work

[robust marsh]

bump

[daring fern]

Use {set = set, key = key} instead of using the center.

[robust marsh]

alright, thank you

[daring fern]

card.ability.seal not card.ability

[wild berry]

oh

thanks

how can i make a card duplicate itself with a seal

when its being destroyed

[manic rune]

the tag is extra iirc

[wild berry]

because

the way i did it right now

the calculate never triggers

when its being destroyed

[floral marsh]

how do I return the number equivalent of a to_big() table

[wild berry]

isnt it #(table)

[daring fern]

How are you destroying it?

[slim ferry]

Why would you need to dothis

Ohh

[floral marsh]

isnt that the amount of values there are inside the table

[wild berry]

hanged man

[wild berry]

i thought thats what you meant

[floral marsh]

yeah for some reasons levels_removed is a to_big() table

which is why smart_level_up increases by 1 instead

cuz

[daring fern]

to_number(variable)?

[floral marsh]

type(amount) == 'number'

[slim ferry]

That shouldnt happen unless you used to_big on some related value

[floral marsh]

thats where it comes from

[slim ferry]

Ohh

Right

[lament agate]

bump

[floral marsh]

this should crash but lemme see

[daring fern]

if context.cardarea == 'unscored'

[slim ferry]

to_number ~= tonumber

to_number is the talisman function

[wild berry]

bump

[ashen drift]

its clear enough

ty

[floral marsh]

oh ma gad

finally

that one curse is done

thanks yall fr

[lament agate]

like this?

[daring fern]

No, context.cardarea cannot be G.play and 'unscored'

[lament agate]

so i replace the g.play?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

alright

[vale grove]

does anyone rq know the command for making a different sound play when scoring?

[cursive gazelle]

do you want to replace the sound or play a sound ?

Either way you should check the SMODS.Sound and the examples in smods

[vale grove]

i have a custom recources/sounds folder with some custom mp3's in it and i want to replace the scoring trigger sound with one of the custom ones in there

[cursive gazelle]

You can replace the sound pretty easily just look at the examples

[vale grove]

where do i find examples exactly?

[cursive gazelle]

The smods repo

Under examples

In github

[slim ferry]

Use SMODS.Sound, then you can put sound = <key> in a return

Or you can replace sounds entirely with it too

[vale grove]

after reading the documentation that nassym told me to i think i got it

but it just doesnt recognize my file for some reason

[slim ferry]

is it in assets/sounds?

[vale grove]

yes

actually no

its in recources sounds

should i make it in assests?

[slim ferry]

Yeah

[vale grove]

i did that and now it gives this

[slim ferry]

Wtf

I have

No idea how that could happen

[vale grove]

i dont even know whythat would happen

all i did was remove sounds from recources and put them inside assets 😭

[daring fern]

Code?

[vale grove]

what part of the code do you wanna see?

oh

i fixed it

lol

now it gives the error that "recources/sounds/my.ogg" doesnt exist

which is true it doesnt

but how do i redirect it to assets?

[daring fern]

No, that means that the key is wrong when you are trying to play the sound.

[vale grove]

so like this?

[slim ferry]

It looks inside assets/sounds by default

[daring fern]

I said the key is wrong when you are trying to play it, not that the path is wrong.

[slim ferry]

Also wtf is register_global

[vale grove]

okay so wait

[vale grove]

this is not my code

this is from smods github

is it just modname_sound

[daring fern]

No, it would be SMODS.Sound:register_global()

[daring fern]

No, it's modprefix_key

[vale grove]

ohhh

[vale grove]

when i add that back i get this error again

[vale grove]

.

[lost spruce]

how can i make this text disapear after i used my consumable
(ignore the absurd levels)

[daring fern]

Yes, you're not doing it right, it is exactly SMODS.Sound:register_global()

[vale grove]

oh () instead of {}

[vale grove]

i dont get why this isnt working tho

i know im just stupid

but

i feel like im overcomplicating things in my mind

[daring fern]

Yes, all you have to do is copy and paste.

[vale grove]

because currently i have this (YA being my prefix)

Propellor being the name of my ogg file

but when i run that it still checks for my recources/sounds instead of assets/sounds

[vale grove]

i just dont get why it defaults to recources

[daring fern]

No, that means you did the key wrong.

[vale grove]

so for that i need this SMODS.Sound:register_global() right?

[daring fern]

No, that registers all the files in assets/sounds as sounds using their file name.

[ashen drift]

why isnt G.GAME.sajevents initialized

[vale grove]

so what else do i need besides

[vale grove]

this?

[daring fern]

You need to do it in Game:init_game_object

[ashen drift]

ohh alr

thanks

[vale grove]

wait do my ogg files need my prefix attached to them?

[daring fern]

Use SMODS.smart_level_up_hand instead.

[ashen drift]

do i hook it in the return or can i just hook it to set sajevents

[daring fern]

You hook it and you set ret.sajevents

[vale grove]

this i dont understand because no matter what i do it keeps looking in recources/sounds instead of assets/sounds

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[vale grove]

but what is my key supposed to be?

bcs im reading on the github about this

and i find it so confusing to understand properly

[daring fern]

Have you tried just using SMODS.Sound?

[vale grove]

yes thats what im doing rn

like is my key just supposed to be basically a name that i call back later?

because in atlas for the sprites thats pretty much what i do

[daring fern]

No, I mean just SMODS.Sound not SMODS.Sound:register_global()

[vale grove]

yeah i got that

iam using just SMODS.Sound

nothing after it besides ({

[wild berry]

how can i force a hand draw

[vale grove]

like is my path supposed to be assets/sounds/mysound.ogg

because it keeps looking in recources/sounds

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[wild berry]

because

G.hand:draw() didnt work for me

[vale grove]

then why does it not do that here?

in atlas

i just call Joker.png

and it works

why does that not work in sound?

[slim ferry]

Is your sound file called Propellor.ogg exactly?

[vale grove]

yes

[daring fern]

Do you have file extensions enabled?

[vale grove]

i had a huge thing with that on friday haha

yes the .ogg is the extension not the name

[wintry solar]

You need to prefix sound keys because it is perfectly plausible that you would want to play vanilla sounds

[vale grove]

so it needs to be myprefix_Propellor.ogg?

[wintry solar]

No

When you call play sound

[vale grove]

so in here?

[slim ferry]

Yes

There

[vale grove]

so myprefix_propellor?

[slim ferry]

Yea

[vale grove]

i have a feeling itll still look in the wrong file path

but everything is worth a shot

and ive had many times in this project where i thought there is no way it'd work and it just works for some reason

now it says cant read Ogg bit stream?

[slim ferry]

Thats probably wierd file shenanigans if it can find but not read it

Try like redownloading the file or smth assuming you downloaded it from somewhere

I think

[vale grove]

i downloaded an mp3 and then just converted it to a ogg

but i can do that again yeah

[slim ferry]

Converted in what way

[true jasper]

Did you just rename the file or did you convert it with an app or website

[vale grove]

with an app

you cant convert it just by name can you?

[slim ferry]

Yeah you cant

Because the data type in the file metadata will still be the same

[true jasper]

It won't work properly if you do

[vale grove]

yeah thats what i was thinking

because there has to be a distinct difference for there to be a seperate file extension for it

that you probably cant get by just changing 3 letters at the end

[slim ferry]

I mean there are plenty of near identical file types

The extension is mostly for determening what the file should be opened in

[vale grove]

oh i think it might have been the file

redownloading it worked

now im curios, how do i make multiple sound files register

[slim ferry]

e.g. pptx files are just zip archives, you can just rename one to be a .zip without issue

[vale grove]

because im planning on using more

[slim ferry]

SMODS.Sound again

[vale grove]

man learning balala is so much more fun than java

bcs this is so much easier

what im learning here in 20 minutes takes like 2 days in java

[true jasper]

lua

[vale grove]

wait i was playtesting two of my jokers to see if they werent too busted and i found another one in the shop

how do i make them unique?

asin only multiple can be found with showman

[slim ferry]

They should be unique by default

Duplicates sometimes just happens if you spawn them with debugplus iirc

Try typing eval G.GAME.used_jokers into the console

That should have every single currently owned joker normally

[vale grove]

i did spawn one in like 4 rounds ago

[vale grove]

if context.joker_main and not context.blueprint and context.scoring_name == 'High Card' then
just a quick question how do i update this to check if hand contains a stone card

[daring fern]

local has_stone = false
for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
    if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_stone') then
        has_stone = true
        break
    end
end

[lament agate]

how do you grab card's rank again

[ashen drift]

card:get_id() iirc

[wild berry]

could this work for setting a random edition?

[robust marsh]

I'd look at how Aura or Wheel of Fortune do it

[wild berry]

oh

[daring fern]

No, you would use poll_edition

[wild berry]

also

how can i add a seal to poll_seals

or

[daring fern]

No, it's SMODS.poll_seal

[wild berry]

does it do it automatically

no like

not add to a card

add a seal to the pool

for poll_seal

[daring fern]

If you create a seal it should automatically be in the pool.

[slim ferry]

where do you think poll_seal gets the pool of seals

[wild berry]

ohh

ok

i thought itwas just

a fixed table

[hollow mango]

im trying to make it so beating stakes unlocks more than just the next one (e.g. beating white stake unlocks red, green, and black. beating black unlocks blue, purple, and orange. beating purple unlocks orange, a modded stake, and some other modded stake. etc.)

does anyone know where i should start looking to make modifications to unlocking stakes? i've poked around but finding the right code to look at (and inject a patch into) has been a struggle

[lament agate]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
            if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_steel') then
                if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'blacksmith', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
                    local original_rank = context.other_card.base.value
                    local original_id = context.other_card.base.id
                    local new_id = context.other_card.base.id + card.ability.extra.rankup
                    if new_id > 14 then new_id = 2 end
                    context.other_card.base.id = new_id
                    context.other_card.base.value = card.get_id(new_id)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            context.other_card:juice_up(0.5, 0.5)
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                    return {
                        message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'k_rank_up', vars = { original_rank, context.other_card.base.value } },
                        colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Enhanced
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end

any idea why this isnt working?

[slim ferry]

why dont you just use the same function that strength uses

[pastel kernel]

What’s the context for “end of ante” specifically? Unless it’s end of boss blind.

[slim ferry]

no, its assert(SMODS.modify_rank(context.other_card, card.ability.extra.rankup))

[lament agate]

didnt think of it that deep

[lament agate]

which

[slim ferry]

that because source: vanillaremade strenght

[daring fern]

context.ante_change and context.ante_end

[slim ferry]

first argument has to actually be a card

[lament agate]

i see

so eris one?

[ashen drift]

nxkoo biggest fumble of the century

also yeah

[slim ferry]

assert is just so vscode doesnt kill you for not assigning the return

[lament agate]

??????????????

[ashen drift]

might be a little far but its litterally a joker that +1 rank why isnt your first instinct strength

[lament agate]

because its not a joker

anyways

[ashen drift]

it still does the same thing

[slim ferry]

uhm

idfk man

how the fuck did you make card a number

[lament agate]

wdym

[slim ferry]

attempt to index local 'card' (a number value)

how

how is that a number

what did you do

[vale grove]

where do i cast the break?

[slim ferry]

where he put it
