i'm not entirely sure when to and not to use keys

[idle plaza]

If you're comparing <card>.config.center.key then the answer is yes.

[devout edge]

ok

[daring fern]

You mean when it changes size?

[long sun]

whatever transform_projection is in the dissolve shader

i need this for a custom shader, so i can fix the remaining issue with the hat

[static valley]

how do I get a message event to play before the return in a calculate function?

like I want it to send 3 different messages, wait a second, and then send a 4th message along with its appropriate return output

(yes this is me working more on the slot machine)

[daring fern]

No, use extra

[static valley]

so extra is where I put in the output?

[static valley]

like this?

message = "TEST",
extra = {
   message = "TEST2",
   chips = 10
}

-# whipped this up as an example

[daring fern]

No, it would be return {message = 'message1', extra = {message = 'message2', extra = {message = 'message3' delay = 1, extra = {message = 'message4', otherreturnvalues = yes}}}}

[static valley]

ohhh

[wild berry]

how can i make my joker not show my mod's tag

[daring fern]

no_mod_badge = true

[wild berry]

ty

and what about not showing it in the collection

[daring fern]

no_collection = true

[wild berry]

alright thanks

[sleek citrus]

I was thinking of making a mod where the jokers and cards are flipped (i.e. you have a deck of jokers and a single hand of cards you can buy and sell)
after looking at smods and the balatro source, it seems like a giant undertaking, like I might even have to rewrite large portions of the game
anyone know if a mod like this already exists?
is there something I'm missing like an easy way to modify the card and joker collections? can I add hooks anywhere?
I've never developed in lua before, please assume I know absolutely nothing

[rare torrent]

how can i make my enhancement swap chips and mult when scored?

i keep getting this error

[lofty elm]

can you send some more of the code

[frosty rampart]

show code

[rare torrent]

    key = "swapping",
    
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Swapping Card",
        text = {
            "Swaps {C:chips}Chips{} and {C:mult}Mult{}",
            "when scored"
        }
    },
    
    
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,

    atlas = "swapping",
    
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea = G.play then
    return {swap = true}
    end
end
}```

[lofty elm]

you need ==

[static valley]

how do I have the sound's pitch not get changed (specifically when a sound is set in the return part of a calculate function)?

[lofty elm]

if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then

[rare torrent]

yeah that was it now it's working perfectly thanksss

so far, so good

[unkempt thicket]

How can i stop Found effect table with no assigned repetitions during repetition check from showing up in debug log.

[daring fern]

It means you're returning something without repetitions in context.repetition or context.retrigger_joker_check

[unkempt thicket]

So i can do not context.repetition/context.retrigger_joker_check in the if statement and it'll fix the problem?

[daring fern]

Code?

[unkempt thicket]

    ret.playing_card = {}
    local chips = card:get_chip_bonus()
    if chips ~= 0 then
        ret.playing_card.chips = chips
    end
end``` in eval_card general effects

Or where the card is scoring SMODS.score_card(context.other_card, {cardarea = G.play, all_in_jest = { main_scoring_chip_vaules = true }})

[lofty elm]

anyone know a good way to have a joker do something like give money multiple times in the same context? In this case I want it to give money once per card destroyed. I tried this with and without what's commented out, but the way it is it happens way too fast (obvsiouly) or with the events the game just stops.

      for i, destroyed_card in ipairs(context.removed) do
        -- G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        --   func = function()
            ease_dollars(card.ability.extra.money)
        --     return
        --   end
        -- }))
      end
    end```

sorry to jump in lol

[frosty rampart]

you need to return true in events

[lofty elm]

oh duh, mustve copied smt wrong

ty

[daring fern]

if context.main_scoring

[unkempt thicket]

This seemed to work, also i added that because i didn't want to trigger things that weren't the chip value.

[lofty elm]

oh but now the happen at the same time

this might not even be possible without smt wack

[frosty rampart]

add the line delay = 0.4, before the line func = function()
you can tweak the number to change the timing

[lofty elm]

oo cool

[lofty elm]

Like this? i'm not noticing any change even when I set the delay to smt unreasonable

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
          delay = 0.4,  
          func = function()
            ease_dollars(card.ability.extra.money)
            return true
          end
        }))```

[frosty rampart]

oh right i forgot the trigger isn't the default
also add this line before the delay line:
trigger = "after",

[lofty elm]

oh got it, ill try that

ty again

[frosty rampart]

(by default, events have trigger = "immediate", which just trigger as soon as they possibly can and totally disregard any delays)

[lofty elm]

got it, I'll keep that in mind

lol, so the delay works but it delays first then triggers both at the same time

@frosty rampart
with delay set to 5 for dramatic effect. No worries if you don't know a fix for this but I thought I'd double check

[daring fern]

Yes, you should be returning dollars

[frosty rampart]

well they want it to give money in separate chunks once for each destroyed card

[lofty elm]

oh ok, I didn't think the event could return dollars I'll try that

[daring fern]

No, it can't.

[lofty elm]

ok cool

sorry ik i should prolly just return twice the amount once but I feel like that would feel weird

[daring fern]

Yes, what's the issue?

[lofty elm]

I can't get each animation to be seperate

[daring fern]

No, extra exists.

[lofty elm]

wdym sorry

im unfamiliar

[daring fern]

return {dollars = number, extra = {dollars = number}}

[lofty elm]

oh woah ok ill try that, ty

uh

[frosty rampart]

yea that'll do two dollars popups, you'll probably have to figure out how to automate the process for an arbitrary number of destroyed cards

[lofty elm]

does this work for more than 2

got it

huh

[frosty rampart]

(you can nest extra tables i think)

[daring fern]

Yes, use SMODS.merge_effects

[lofty elm]

alrighty I think I can figure that out, thanks guys

[static valley]

Btw here's all the possible payouts that could happen:

3 diamonds

• +300 chips

3 hearts

• +20 mult

3 spades

• x15 mult

3 clubs

• $20

Jackpot

• +700 chips
• +100 mult
• X70 mult
• $77 dollars
• played hand goes up 7 levels
• 1 negative Soul Spectral Card
  -# reminder that each of these payouts have a 1/125 chance of happening

Btw not getting a payout has a 120/125 chance of happening.
if any of the payouts need to be buffed/nerfed, let me know

the only reason why the jackpot can give you a negative The Soul is because the odds of getting that jackpot is very close to the odds of getting The Soul from a booster pack

[lofty elm]

This is fun, for the suits I'd say you could reorder them to be like the uncommon suit jokers, money for diamonds, chips for spades, mult for clubs, and xmult for hearts. Though x15 mult is kind of bonkers compared to the other ones lol. same for the xmult in the jackpot

I think like x2 or x3 is equivalnt to the others

chips is also pretty high comparitive to money and mult

I'm thinking of like, money and mult are similar to on luckys but x15 mult is like in the stratosphere and 300 chips is 10x a bonus card. maybe like 100?

this is also just from a vanilla perspective, just do whatever you want if thats what you wanna do

[wild berry]

how can i update the reward text on a blind

[static valley]

would x7 mult work for the hearts

as the payout

[lofty elm]

prolly still a little high but since its random anyway go for it, 7 is thematic

[static valley]

yea

cause i'm trying to think about how to make the payout rewarding, since it's a 1 in 125 chance for each.
speaking of which, here's how I calculate each slot:

        local m1 = pseudorandom("comedy_slot_machine", 0, 4)
        local m2 = pseudorandom("comedy_slot_machine", 0, 4)
        local m3 = pseudorandom("comedy_slot_machine", 0, 4)
        local outputs = { "Diamond", "Heart", "Spade", "Club", "7" }

so, there's a 1 in 5 chance to get 1 seven, a 1 in 25 chance to get 2 sevens, and a 1 in 125 chance to get 3 sevens, for example

[daring fern]

Why is it 0 to 4 instead of 1 to 5?

[frosty rampart]

for how rare the effects are i don't think i'd ever pick it up
and because of how it works you couldn't even use cryptid seed on it to guarantee a jackpot or something

[lofty elm]

thats true

[static valley]

because when I coded it I thought I was coding in java for a brief moment

I actually just fixed it

[lofty elm]

You might want to consider making all the rewards be unrelated to scoring since you'll never be able to rely on it

though you could leave some in as like, not a real reward but its fun to see big number

[frosty rampart]

alternatively, there should be a bare minimum payout of like +4 mult, and weaker versions of your 3-of-a-kind payouts for matching two of a kind

[static valley]

yea I was thinking about that too

[lofty elm]

like the bonkers xmult is probably actually fine in this scenario

[static valley]

i'll add that later tho

[lofty elm]

that would also be good

[thorn pumice]

hii, i'm having an issue with a sticker that is applying to all stakes and i have no idea why. i have an SMODS.Sticker {} and it's currently in one stake--and is commented out in the stake (so not even enabled). am i missing something as to why its applying to all stakes?

[static valley]

would this work for getting 2 of a kind?

elseif (m1 == m2 and (not m2 == m3)) or ((not m1 == m2) and m2 == m3) then

[frosty rampart]

don't do not x == y, do x ~= y
otherwise that's almost there, but you still need to account for when m1 == m3

[frosty rampart]

post the sticker code and the stake code

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[frosty rampart]

checking if 2 out of 3 random numbers match

[idle plaza]

You also need a m1 == m3 version of the check, otherwise it won't be counted by this.

if (m1 == m2 and m1 ~= m3) or (m1 == m3 and m1 ~= m2) or (m2 == m3 and m2 ~= m1)?

[wild berry]

cant select consumable card

[static valley]

elseif (m1 == m2 and m1 ~= m3) or (m1 == m3 and m1 ~= m2) or (m2 == m3 and m2 ~= m1) then

this is what I did

now how do I have it give the soul after the "jackpot" message is displayed?

hold on I figured it out

[daring fern]

Put it in the func of that return.

[static valley]

yea i just figured that out

[wild berry]

for some reason the card created through here doesnt get placed into consumables

and can just be moved anywhere

[lofty elm]

Im only just jumping in but you prolly wanna use SMODS.add_card

[rare torrent]

can i make a card enhancement texture appear in front with the "set_sprites = function(self, card, front)"?

[wild berry]

oh

worked ty

[lofty elm]

np

[daring fern]

No, you would have to use SMODS.DrawStep

[wild berry]

bump

[frosty rampart]

check the Paperback beta, i literally just did that for the Sleeved enhancement
(the DrawStep is in the same file as the enhancement itself. it displays on top of the center, the front, and the edition, but still lets seals and stickers go on top)

[vale grove]

i know this is probably the most fucked up code you guys have ever seen but ive tried everything i could think of and it just doesnt work,
the idea is that the whoosh effect triggers before the money and tarot generation trigger (the joker works functionally)
(preferrably i want the money and tarot to happen during joker triggers)

[lofty elm]

I think that'll prolly need a lua hook or whatever which is beyond me atm sorry

[wintry solar]

Swap the message and sound in your return with where the dollars is

And change your context check to joker main if you want it to trigger during the joker scoring

[wild berry]

what do i need to hook tho?

[daring fern]

No, just change G.GAME.current_round.dollars_to_be_earned then do G.HUD_blind:recalculate(false) I think.

[wild berry]

ah ok

ty

[lofty elm]

does that you do stuff that besides change the dollar amount?

Its also possible they do just wanna change the dollar amount

[wild berry]

i think its just visual

yes

[rare torrent]

im so confused on how it works, like i just want the base texture enchacement to be behind it like normal, but have an overlay with sprite pos of "x=0 y=1" on top of it

[daring fern]

Yes, you would use SMODS.DrawStep to draw that on the card.

[rare torrent]

problem is i don't know how to use it😭🙏

[frosty rampart]

Sleeved draws the default base card on the actual card center, so you can ignore the enhancement's set_sprites function entirely. you don't need that part

everything you need is the DrawStep in the sleeved file. you can pretty much copy/paste it, replace the check for self.children.center.paperback_sleeved with a check for self.children.center.modprefix_enhancementkey (where you fill in your own mod's prefix and enhancement key), and replace the positions in the set_sprite_pos calls with positions relevant to your own atlas

[wild berry]

??

[rare torrent]

yeah i did do that, but it didn't work SMODS.DrawStep { key = "rigged", order = 21, func = function(self, layer) if self.children.center.omega_rigged then self.children.center:set_sprite_pos({ x = 0, y = 1 }) self.children.center:draw_shader('dissolve') end end, conditions = { vortex = false, facing = 'front' } }

[frosty rampart]

you need the second set_sprite_pos call to reset it back to the original center's art

without it the center will start drawing the overlay's art too

[rare torrent]

still didn't work

[wild berry]

why does this happen? what did i do wrong?

[frosty rampart]

elaborate on "didn't work" then

[frosty rampart]

i feel like you didn't save the file properly

[wild berry]

wdym?

[rare torrent]

the card still looks like this, but i want the bent corner to be on top

[frosty rampart]

if you have debugplus, hover over a card with the enhancement, and in the console run eval dp.hovered.children.center.omega_rigged

[daring fern]

Did you save the file and restart the game?

[wild berry]

i did not

wait

i think im getting this the wrong way

it is saved

...

[frosty rampart]

so you got the stuff wrong
is that your mod prefix and the key of the enhancement?

[wild berry]

i realized the issue

[daring fern]

Show the line numbers.

[wild berry]

im a dumbass

[rare torrent]

i think so?

[frosty rampart]

hang on a minute lemme go test some stuff

oh i'm stupid

[frosty rampart]

you do need a set_sprites function in your enhancement

set_sprites = function(self, card, front)
  card.children.center.omega_rigged = true
end,

it doesn't automatically set that, i manually put it in lmao

[rare torrent]

💀ok yeah that was it thanks!

[dapper sun]

i've returned for my info_queue-based torture and suffering

aka: trying to make an upgrade preview

this time, i wanna try a different approach

how do i make a custom info_queue description type

or whatever i need to do

to just make {set = "Joker", key = "j_modded_key", vars = {}} work

because it only works with vanilla jokers and that sucks

i can make a table containing every value that a G.P_CENTERS table has, and it doesn't work while the G.P_CENTERS table does

so i have no idea what the problem is

[devout edge]

how do i set a specific joker to be created

[dapper sun]

?

[devout edge]

nvm ignore

[dapper sun]

i have tried literally everything and nothing works

oops wrong server

i love asking for help with the same thing on 2 different servers 😊

sorry that's huge lol

[dapper sun]

also bc they linked to a msg from here lol

[frosty rampart]

the sticker's should_apply function needs to also check if G.GAME.modifiers.enable_fanatic_luxurious is true, that's not handled automatically

[thorn pumice]

oh! thank you!

would you bychance also know why the not card.ability.rental check doesn't actually check for rentals?

[fiery bronze]

How do I make a joker detect if an attempt to destroy it was made

[frosty rampart]

when stickers are applied in shop, modded stickers are applied before the vanilla stickers unfortunately

[thorn pumice]

oh yikesss, so i should use a love patch to instead make rental stickers check if a sticker has luxury?

[frosty rampart]

i think so, yes
or maybe take ownership of rental to modify its should_apply function

[thorn pumice]

gotcha, thank you :3

[fiery bronze]

And also is there a way to make it immortal without being eternal

I'm trying to make this effect

[thorn pumice]

you could do a work around! look at https://github.com/survovoaneend/All-In-Jest/blob/c8903770254e96ef97e067828d97ab1f3ab36c65/Items/Jokers/pellesini.lua and you could copy this mechanic for jimboraga to copy itsself and then also have a 1/4 chance to spawn a spectral

[fiery bronze]

Interesting, i'll look

How does this work

Because i'm reading it and i'm lost

[thorn pumice]

when a joker is created it makes an exact copy

[fiery bronze]

How do I do that? I can't tell how the mod is doing that or how to make that work in mine

[fiery bronze]

This is all I have right now

[fiery bronze]

I'm trying to find documentation and i'm lost lol

[daring fern]

if context.check_eternal and context.other_card == card then return {destroy = true} end

[fiery bronze]

how does that work

[fiery bronze]

do I put it in calculate

I assume so because of it using context

but I can't for the life of me find the documentation for what check_eternal and other_card are

[signal plaza]

eternal agony and despair

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0711a

[fiery bronze]

what about other.card?

[daring fern]

That's just the other card being calculated.

[fiery bronze]

?

what other card

[iron haven]

ok.

[glad osprey]

@red flower

[red flower]

FAN

[devout edge]

for some reason specifically the part where it makes a clone of itself doesn't work. everything else does but i'm not sure why this specifically fails. i've looked at the code for perkeo and judgement in vremade and i still have no clue so, as usual, i come to the balalalalatro discord in my time of need

[daring fern]

Yes, because it's in a use function.

[devout edge]

ah

not gonna lie classic me move to ignore the obvious problem lmao

thanks my man

and now it's crashing because of <name> expeccted near [

[signal plaza]

THERE IS NO CHARACTER!!

ETERNAL AGONY AND DESPAIR!!!!!!!!

I LITERALLY COPIED THE JSON BASE FROM A FUNCTIONING MOD!!!!!!!!

[frosty rampart]

send the json file here
like the file itself, don't copy/paste

[iron haven]

making tarots is kinda hard for me only because my mouse can go all over the place.

[signal plaza]

dw

i will

copied from Yahimod and previously that one modding tutorial i cant find
forgive me if the issues obvious i have no knowledge on lua and i called everything gay because its a test mod

[frosty rampart]

i meant like. drag the json file into discord and upload it

[iron haven]

my mouse moving around is making me angy

[devout edge]

so... can someone tell me why the game crashes when i run this code?
the rest of the joker code doesn't matter as this section isn't connected to anything other than a if/then/else command which i know works as the game crashes on line 55 (aka where this section begins)

[signal plaza]

OH

mb

didnt know that was possible

its not

letting me post it

[frosty rampart]

why are you starting a new function inside another function

[devout edge]

because it's that way in the code from judgement i based this on

asides from that i have no clue

tbh i think it's stupid too

[frosty rampart]

i think the file is just corrupted somehow

[signal plaza]

so i should redo it?

[lucid owl]

can you post the full code

[signal plaza]

or make a new file and paste the code

[frosty rampart]

yea from a fresh new text document

[lucid owl]

also you should probably name the function?

[frosty rampart]

i wouldn't copy/paste

[devout edge]

ok

[signal plaza]

the video i based it on was uh

9 months old

soo

[frosty rampart]

no
that's because it needs to run the event in the "use" function

[lucid owl]

remove the function(self, card, area, copier) and its relevant end

[frosty rampart]

you don't need a separate function because it's already in the calculate function

[lucid owl]

yeah that's a whole other function

[devout edge]

ah

good to know

i am a noob

it works! huzzah!

only note is that for some reason the negative copy and the original switch places but that's probably just a debug+ shenanigan

[signal plaza]

Visual Studio Code or whatnot isnt an issue right?

[frosty rampart]

shouldn't be

[signal plaza]

nor windows 11?

alright lets hope this works

[devout edge]

ok after a tiny change it works perfectly

this makes my third joker (and most complicated yet) done

...well i need to add in the description but that should be easy

[signal plaza]

also wont let me post

[devout edge]

thanks balatro people

[signal plaza]

maybe its a visual studio setting

[signal plaza]

sets your pc on fire

[frosty rampart]

yea i don't understand what's happening lol

how is it erroring when you try to upload it?

[signal plaza]

oh uh

i mean the only error ive seen is just the lovely logs one

it doesnt crash or go into debug logs (if that even happens?) it just doesnt appear because its never loaded

do i need extensions?

[frosty rampart]

how is it not letting you post the file in discord

[signal plaza]

ah

i press enter

doesnt show

NEVERMIND

THE ISSUE WAS ME BEING A SPED

BECAUSE I DIDNT KNOW I NEED TO CLOSE IT TO SAVE IT ON VSC

SO IT HAD NO DATA

[frosty rampart]

...ah

[signal plaza]

sorry for wasting your time

[frosty rampart]

glad it's fixed lmao

[signal plaza]

thanks for helping me realize that though

:D

my code,

my code disappeared

its gone

[feral tree]

is it possible to add a seal to a specific card in the deck?

[signal plaza]

MY BOY IS ALIVE!!

[clear ocean]

they ain't all going to be winners i guess

i think i know what's the issue being that its the list of cards discarded but is there something where it only grabs the cards you just discarded

[loud summit]

how do you disable the boss blind without causing the win screen to break

[clear ocean]

uh what?

[loud summit]

like the luchador/chicot effect

[clear ocean]

not blind.disabled for checks and disable = function(self)

[loud summit]

no i mean how do i trigger the blind to be disabled

without breaking

does it break if you call disable on a already disabled boss

[clear ocean]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/24ee6098f692a58a34d573dec5a86a347c5fd13a/src/jokers.lua#L2137

[clear ocean]

i believe so

or something weird idk

[loud summit]

that explains it then

[clear ocean]

some disables more so reverts so stuff like the wall borks

[loud summit]

so does it cause the "small blind - score at least 0" issue

[clear ocean]

no idea

[loud summit]

so check G.GAME.blind.disabled?

[clear ocean]

i guess?

[clear ocean]

got it working by looking at yorick

[loud summit]

?

[clear ocean]

for my blind

[safe dawn]

at how many jokers would you upload your mod to #1209506514763522108

[clear ocean]

i mean depends on your scope honestly for me im going to wait until most if not all the content is finished code and design wise before a public beta

[static valley]

how do I check if I won a run with a specific joker? (this is to make an unlock requirement for a deck)

[round lion]

do negative playing cards exist in basegame (but unused)?

[clear ocean]

yeah

it's an edition so it can be used on cards but as you could probably see there's probably a reason why it's not in the vanilla game

[signal plaza]

the lovely toml file

idk what im doing wrong

[sturdy compass]

You have created an atlas containing your logo sprite correct

[rocky plaza]

yes

it runs correctly without cryptid installed

but for some reason it breaks when cryptid is installed

i was fiddling with some stuff earlier tho while trying to fix it

[sturdy compass]

Again, that crash report is very foreign to me so I have no clue what could be causing it as everything seems to look fine. I just tested again with Cryptid and it still works fine

[rocky plaza]

hmmmmm

i can go get the lovely dump

[sturdy compass]

Considering nothing is destructive you shouldn't need to

[rocky plaza]

yeah
this is a really strange crash tho

hmm
val being nil there is kinda sus

ok Astra im going to fully ctrl c ctrl v ur main menu code

and see if that works

ofc i'll change vars as needed

@sturdy compass i cant 😭
i literally ctrl c ctrl v'd ur code into my mod and it still gave me that same exact error

[sturdy compass]

[rocky plaza]

i guess my mod is eternally incompat with cryptid now

[frosty rampart]

good :)

[rocky plaza]

the only files that messed with the main menu were main.lua and other.toml, correct?

[sturdy compass]

yes

[rocky plaza]

welp

hold on
one last thing i can try

ah fuck it didnt work

[vapid flume]

this is a dumb question but how do i set ante as opposed to adding/subtracting with ease_ante

[rocky plaza]

do
ease_ante(-G.GAME.round_resets.ante + x)
where x is the ante u want to set to

[vapid flume]

oh alr thank u

[rocky plaza]

its basically setting ante to 0 then adding to it until the ante becomes what u want it to be

[charred widget]

Hello again friends, I have another issue I'm looking to resolve

Arceus here (praise be his name) is supposed to copy the effects of all jokers in your posession, but he's not doing that. Can someone figure out why this is not happening?

[iron haven]

Hey guys, how do I make new consumables?

[loud summit]

read the wiki

[iron haven]

where is it?

[loud summit]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[iron haven]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Consumable looking at this

[loud summit]

undocumented functions my beloved...

https://github.com/notmario/MoreFluff/blob/main/other/colours.lua look at that

[iron haven]

uhhhhhhhhhh

I forgor to make a pack sprite. Does that matter?

does the pack sprites matter or no?

[iron haven]

@loud summit ?

[loud summit]

i dont think it technically matters

though you usually get consumables through packs

[frosty rampart]

do you think a sprite is going to magically come into existence for you
you need a sprite. it doesn't have to be good but you need to either implement one or point it to reuse an existing pack's texture as a placeholder

[loud summit]

i mean you dont nnnneed a pack if there are other ways to spawn it

[iron haven]

3 is ok?

[frosty rampart]

3 what

[loud summit]

packs i assume

[iron haven]

normal, jumbo, mega

[frosty rampart]

yea
it's your mod you can do literally whatever you want

3 packs, 35, 0, as long as you're happy with how your mod turns out

[iron haven]

maybe 0 will be better

[frosty rampart]

do the consumables show up in the shop?

[iron haven]

haven't coded it yet

[iron haven]

they do.

also consumables shouldn't have rarities

[charred widget]

bump

[iron haven]

great

SMODS.Letters...

[frosty rampart]

yea you can't just do that if it doesn't already exist in smods
unrelated but update your steamodded, latest release is 0827c

[iron haven]

taking a break..

[sturdy compass]

Why do you have two calculate functions defined???

[charred widget]

that may be the problem

[sturdy compass]

I think it just might be

Also I see y'all are getting the F treatment here... good luck

[high verge]

Found out there were metal gear cards

[charred widget]

that was precisely the problem

[sturdy compass]

Glad I could help

[calm karma]

real dumb one, whats the G.GAME thing to access the current ante?

https://github.com/BakersDozenBagels/Smods-Wiki/blob/g-documentation/G.md
tried checking there, no ante

[daring fern]

G.GAME.round_resets.ante

[lavish elm]

quick question what does integer|integer mean?

eg. 0|1

[slim ferry]

thats just what vscode says when something can be multiple values

[daring fern]

‎

[lavish elm]

ok another question how to make legendaries appear in shop bc when I changed the legendary_mod value to 1 as a test the game crashed do I just take ownership of the legendaries and make them appear or what?

[true jasper]

Take ownership of the rarity and make it have a weight greater than 0

[lavish elm]

but I want from it to stay 0

[true jasper]

So you don't want them to appear in shop?

[lavish elm]

I want them to appear in shop when my joker is present

ok as a temporary idea I will just set the weight to 0.000000000001

[true jasper]

Take ownership of legendary rarity and for the get_weight have it be if smods find card or whatever in your joker slots then return a number
and then an else return 0

(Bad explanation but I can't send code bc I'm on mobile)

[lavish elm]

oh ok thanks

[lavish elm]

SMODS.Rarity:take_ownership("Legendary", 
{
    default_weight = 1
})

test code

doesn't work why?

[maiden phoenix]

You also have to change the code in get_current_pool to allow them to spawn

[lavish elm]

how to do that?

[maiden phoenix]

Do you know how to lovely patch?

[lavish elm]

nope

[high verge]

I decided to add a deck back to the mgs deck for the screenshot only to remember the deck back doesn't show up in the cards view

[lavish elm]

newbie here

[maiden phoenix]

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#patches

[calm karma]

hi, im trying to work out how id do this, but i got no clue

im trying to print something to the console when it is the end of the round and the last played hand was a high card

if context.end_of_round and context.scoring_name == "High Card" then
                return true
            end

thats what i had

im trying to make more achievements, but im figuring out how stuff like this works, starting simple before making it more complicated

i just cant figure it

[lavish elm]

looks menacing

anyways thanks I will try to figure it out

[maiden phoenix]

Look how other mods use it too it's a good reference point 👍

Usually they're in lovely folders within the mod, or .toml files

[high verge]

I'll release the deck probably tomorrow

[lavish elm]

ima look at cryptid(big mistake probably)

[hidden mirage]

how to find how many cards are being drawn in context.drawing_cards

[daring fern]

context.amount

[hidden mirage]

thanks

        if (context.setting_blind) or (context.before and G.GAME.current_round.hands_left == 1)then
            card.ability.extra.activate = true
        end
        if context.drawing_cards and card.ability.extra.activate then
            card.ability.extra.activate = false
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = (function()
                    card:juice_up()
                    play_sound('cardFan2', 0.9 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.8)
                    return true
                end)
            }))
            return {
                cards_to_draw = context.amount + card.ability.extra.extra_cards
            }
        end
    end```why did this trigger when opening a tarot pack

[daring fern]

Because it's drawing cards in the booster pack.

[hidden mirage]

yeah but activate should be false

[alpine tulip]

Hi, new to modding. I just wanted to ask about blueprint_effect. I've read some of the other issues people have had and tried implementing it but im not sure why its not returning the 'other_joker_effect' despite in testing, the joker triggering the message that is also within the return statement (this also goes for card ability.extra.count == 1 not working as well)

[daring fern]

extra = other_joker_effect in the return

Also what is the goal?

[alpine tulip]

the goal i have is basically when you play gold cards, it grants retriggers to the adjacent joker ala blueprint. once the the retriggers have been used, it resets.

basically its gonna give bursts of retriggers fueled by gold cards

[daring fern]

So it retriggers the joker to the right for every gold card played?

[alpine tulip]

yes kinda
[edit cause im half asleep and didnt realise what im saying]

• i want gold cards to store retriggers based on the amount played so if you wanted to save the retriggers, you could move this joker to the far right and have it not activate

[daring fern]

if ((G.play and G.play.cards > 0) or card.ability.extra.count > 0) and context.retrigger_joker_check then
    local other_joker, failed = nil, false
    for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if v == card then
            if i == #G.jokers.cards then failed = true end
            other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i+1]
        end
    end
    if context.other_card == other_joker then
        local count = card.ability.extra.count
        for k, v in pairs(G.play.cards or {}) do
            if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_gold') then
                count = count + 1
            end
        end
        card.ability.extra.count = (failed and card.ability.extra.count) or 0
        if failed then return nil end
        if count > 0 then
            return {repetitions = count}
        end
    end
end

[alpine tulip]

thanks a bunch. also would this retrigger context work for jokers that don't score? for instance in my current attempt at an implementation, if there is not a compatible joker i wanted the count to remain at whatever many gold cards were played so that the retriggers could be stored for use with other non scoring jokers.

[daring fern]

Yes, but it wont trigger.

[alpine tulip]

would i have to include another context for other situations for retriggers to occur (example: discard context for mail-in-rebate)?

[daring fern]

No, context.retrigger_joker_check is called when any joker is checking for retriggers, if it's enabled.

[alpine tulip]

ok sweet

[rare torrent]

how to i show a sticker tooltip using the "info_queue[#1116390750314307698_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.s_star"?
what's the sticker prefix basically

[wild berry]

??

but smods has this function

how come it doesnt work

more info

[frosty rampart]

no letter prefix, you do need the mod prefix, and it won't be in P_CENTERS because it's not a center. try P_STICKERS maybe?

[frosty rampart]

update smods

[wild berry]

oh

[frosty rampart]

it's only a feature in 0827

[wild berry]

well, im trying to make my mod compatible with a mod that relies on the old version im on

is it possible to port the smod function

into my mod

[long sun]

why is this patch not printing anything?

[wild berry]

have you set the Card's phanta?

or wait

try doing a test print by doing

print(type(card.phanta_dimmadomeextra))

[long sun]

👍

[wild berry]

when its initialized

and then do another print before you do the if check

[long sun]

table

the second log line didn't run

so i'm assuming set_hard_T isn't actually being called, then

which is fine

[daring fern]

No, it's SMODS.Stickers but I don't think that works either.

[rare torrent]

nope

[wild berry]

yeah thats the issue, the snippet of code you gave has no calls of the function

[long sun]

right ;u;

thanks

[wild berry]

anyone know why this always returns 0?

im using it during context.final_scoring_step

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[long sun]

where does Balatro set the tilt of the children in a Card, when it's being hovered?

[wild berry]

where does smods use SMODS.calculate_round_score or SMODS.set_scoring_calculation?

aside from its apposite functions

that do that

[vale grove]

just a quick question how do you make probabliities update after obtaining oops all sixes?

[daring fern]

Use SMODS.pseudorandom_probability

[wild berry]

look at how cavendish does it in vanillaremade

[vale grove]

oh right i shouldve specified,

[wild berry]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua

[vale grove]

i mean in text

functionally it works but how do i make the text update

[daring fern]

Use SMODS.get_probability_vars

[wild berry]

the first parameter of get probability vars is your card

second is the nominator

third is denominator

fourth is your seed

you'll want to use that seed later on so it calculates it correctly

[daring fern]

No, that's the third.

[daring fern]

No, that's the fourth.

[wild berry]

i cant count

corrected

the first and second vars are for the local ones

so you can use it in the description of the card

they will change dynamically

[vale grove]

im confused, how do i use that to update my joker text from 1/2 to 2/2

when oops all sixes is obtained

[vernal seal]

hello, what is causing this crash?

[wild berry]

atlas?

[rotund sable]

The atlas is invalid

[wild berry]

bump

[long sun]

(bump)

[long sun]

try storing the value of this in before, and accessing it in after

i'm not sure if it can be called there

[wild berry]

wdym store?

it would just store a 0

[rotund sable]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/src%2Futils.lua#L2824-L2827

[vernal seal]

seem the same here

[long sun]

if you store it in ability.extra in after, then yes

if you store it there in before, then maybe not

[wild berry]

you do not need to add register

[long sun]

i think, since it's calculating the hand after it's been played, it's like "no hand is being played so it's worth 0"

[rotund sable]

The only other reason I can see if both keys match is that the image isn't in the files or the file with the atlas isn't loaded

[daring fern]

Sprite:draw_shader?

[long sun]

oh, so the diffuse shader handles the hover skewing?

[daring fern]

No, because that doesn't exist.

[long sun]

?

wym

[daring fern]

The word diffuse is not found in balatro.

[long sun]

dissolve* sorry

that's not a shader

oh wait you mean the variable in said shader

so yes then

i don't follow ;u; start over

so, what does balatro do to make cards rotate in 3D space, when hovered?

[aware that Balatro is 2D but it makes it appear as 3D]

you can't just delete all that 😭

[vernal seal]

its still crash

[wild berry]

show the error

[long sun]

so your Voucher, right

did you give it an atlas

atlas = 'CustomVouchers'

?

wait nvm that's not the error anyway

[wild berry]

line numbers?

no wait nvm

[long sun]

you can remove the parentheses around the table you're giving Atlas

that's probably the issue

you're passing a table in as the first argument

[red flower]

that wouldn't change anything

[long sun]

nevermind :> but still do that

[red flower]

try removing the atlas_table line

[vernal seal]

still crashes

[red flower]

same crash?

do you have the files in the correct place? is your voucher defined after your atlas?

[vernal seal]

theres this function that should load the voacher

[red flower]

yeah but is the atlas code before the voucher code

[vernal seal]

the atlas code is before the voucher code

[vale grove]

i have a more theoritcal question,
as some of you might know yahimice made a balatro mod where he has his twitch stream as a joker,
the joker gives 1 mult per 5 viewers he has,
is it possible for me to do this with how many hours a friend of mine has on a game on steam?

[daring fern]

Yes, if their profile is public, I think.

[vale grove]

im pretty sure it is

yes it is

how to actually do it is probably a task for later bcs thats gonna require alot of effort

but im happy to hear you think its possible

[loud summit]

i mean you just need to make a SMODS.http and query a public steam api

[long sun]

i give up trying to make Doug Dimmadome cleverly ;u;

i'm just gonna make a gigantic sprite

maybe later, if i'm smarter, i can improve it

what does this crash mean again?

[daring fern]

It means the atlas doesn't exist, or is the wrong atlas table.

[long sun]

grand, thanks

i don't get it

in both 1x and 2x

why is this one Joker doomed to not work 😭

[daring fern]

No, I mean the atlas itself, not the file.

[long sun]

yeah i don't know why it wouldn't exist

[daring fern]

How are you referring to it?

[long sun]

-# she says, without a prefix

thanks :3

[vernal seal]

soo how can i resolve this crash

[modest cradle]

Im working on music for a mod i wanna make, how does this sound (im trying to kinda make it sound like the regular balatro music)

"""
match_indent = true

it really kills fps and im too stupid to see why

[maiden phoenix]

Does it keep appending multi_boxes with lower fusions?

[willow scroll]

it does not

even with only 2 jokers in if i keep at it for like a solid 10 seconds

the lag dissapears upon starting a new game though

or leaving to the main menu

genuinely baffled at what the cause is because my fusion jokers work almost perfectly atm its just the multi boxes kill performance somehow?

or something related to them

[maiden phoenix]

Can you check if multiboxes keeps adding up internally by printing its length?

[willow scroll]

alright let me see

looks fine?

but i may be stupid let me read the whole function itself to see whats going on

yeah no i dont see the reason why it would be like this

[static valley]

hey quick question

currently adjusting a legendary joker that I made

is gaining x1 mult whenever a probability fails good, or is it too broken and I need to tone down the mult gain

wait hold on

lucky cards are a thing

[red flower]

yeah one hand of lucky cards would be like X7 mult

[static valley]

how about x0.5 mult gain then?

[maiden phoenix]

Maybe its from shallow copying? Other than that no clue, if you still dont know ask Eremel, he's the one who integrated multiboxes to smods iirc

[willow scroll]

iirc i tried also directly reading from the table with the same result?

but let me try again rq

lmao if i disable multiboxes i can merge like 3000 jokers

[rare torrent]

i still haven't figured this out 😭🙏, it should be a prefix but it isn't s_

[willow scroll]

pretty sure stickers have no prefix

but i do believe youre missing mod prefix

[rare torrent]

non, i do have my mod prefix

because if i put a joker name and j_ it appears just fine

but i don't want to display a joker i want to display a sticker description

also why does the badge say ERROR?

[willow scroll]

that is a separate localization file entry iirc

[willow scroll]

iirc its misc = { labels = { modprefix_stickerid = 'Text'}}

[rare torrent]

what does iirc mean?

[willow scroll]

if i recall correctly

[rare torrent]

ah

and do i put that just inside my sticker code or inside loc_text or loc_vars?

[willow scroll]

oh youre using that

uhh

no clue, sorry

[rare torrent]

goddam it's fine

[lavish elm]

so after looking at a bunch of toml files I still don't know hwo to patch nor even just add legendaries to the shop pool

[modest cradle]

FWÆ

[lavish elm]

so uh pls help

[rotund sable]

Pretty sure it shows the name in the docs

But it was label (in loc_txt) iirc

[rare torrent]

it is label thank you very much

[rotund sable]

I even found my old screenshot of the docs :clueless:

[willow scroll]

truly a patch

[unkempt thicket]

I've ran into so many bugs on smods release as people mark them as a bug from the mod i'm working on. (they still occur without the mod though)

[long sun]

help ;u; what went wrong this time

okay changing the py value of the atlas fixes this

but i need it to be that value

[stoic void]

71*7600

WHAT THE HELL

why so long

[long sun]

it's a big hat :3

[stoic void]

ah ok

[modest cradle]

Big hat

Real shit

[long sun]

i tried doing it with a 71×95 image but it was broken so i gave up

[mystic river]

YOUR LONG

[daring fern]

Firstly, you shouldn't call card:set_sprites every frame, but it does nothing without inputs.

[long sun]

right

it is important for the animation framework, so

[daring fern]

Why?

[long sun]

so the pos stays up to date

[lavish elm]

bump

[daring fern]

No, because it's doing nothing.

[long sun]

omg yeah i removed it and nothing changed ;u;

thanks

[daring fern]

Sprite() inputs are in pixel size.

[long sun]

oh fair

i changed it to this but this is also not working, in the same way

[wild berry]

how can i make a joker check when another joker is being triggered

[daring fern]

if context.post_trigger

[wild berry]

ty

[stiff locust]

doug cant get it up anymore

[wild berry]

is the joker that got triggered context.post_joker?

[daring fern]

No, it's context.other_card

[wild berry]

okay

[wild berry]

doesnt seem to work

[toxic rain]

is there a way to loop through each rank in the full deck and check how many of each rank there is?

[wild berry]

make a table

add an index which has the id of the ranks

loop through all the deck with G.deck.cards

check if the card has an id equal to that

hold on

[toxic rain]

oh

[wild berry]

ill do the code

[daring fern]

Did you enable it?

[wild berry]

its optional??

[loud summit]

paper hat heh

[daring fern]

Yes, because it calls a context to every card every time a joker triggers.

[wild berry]

local tab = {}
for n, x in pairs(G.deck.cards) do
if tab[x:get_id()] then
table.insert(tab[x:get_id()], x)
else
tab[x:get_id()] = {x}
end
end

[toxic rain]

oooh thanks

[wild berry]

np

[wild berry]

whats the option i have to enable

like

what do i add

[daring fern]

No, it's: ```lua
local ranks = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
ranks[v:get_id()] = (ranks[v:get_id()] or 0) + 1
end

[wild berry]

oh

[slow lotus]

who should be the spades

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
    return {
        post_trigger = true,
    }
end

[wild berry]

ty

i dont get why they have to be optional and not enabled by default though

[lavish elm]

G:delete_run()
how does this one work(it just crashes)

[daring fern]

G.FUNCS.start_run()

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[toxic rain]

ok thanks, although i am getting red squiggly lines on get_id

[daring fern]

v:get_id()

[wild berry]

right

[loud summit]

me

[lavish elm]

I got assertion failed crash

what does this mean?

[daring fern]

It means something is trying to do assert() on something that doesn't exist.

[lavish elm]

so how to prevent this crash when using this function

the new run one

[daring fern]

Code?

[lavish elm]

if context.joker_main then
            local rand = math.random(1,6)
            if rand == 1 then
                G.FUNCS.start_run()
            end

ignore the other strat run one it is just a test

anything?

[stiff locust]

does anyone have a code example for SMODS.gradient

[frosty rampart]

smods does

[stiff locust]

it does??

okay

[frosty rampart]

game_object.lua

[stiff locust]

that's pretty simple I can do that

[frosty rampart]

smods has examples of most of the stuff it implements in game_object.lua, basically redefining vanilla content in smods terms
(although i think these gradients are used for the notice that you have mod conflicts/missing dependencies)

[gilded goblet]

if context.joker_main then
  -- code
end

gotta close that first if statement

[stiff locust]

i broke it

it's all just coming out as black

[errant arrow]

how do i replace a card? adding jokers that replace themself with another card once their time is up

[toxic rain]

ok so I'm mostly finished with ther joker but the bottom row of the text is Xnil when it should say the current Xmult

    key = "solo",
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'The Solo',
        text = {
            "Gives {X:mult,C:white} X1 {} Mult",
            "Gain {X:mult,C:white} X1 {} Mult for each rank without",
            "A duplicate in your {C:attention}full deck{}",
            "{C:inactive}(Currently{} {X:red,C:white}X#1#{} {C:inactive}Mult){}"
        }
    },
    atlas = 'MMM_Jokers',
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 8,
    pos = { x = 4, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { xmult = 1 }```

[toxic rain]

not sure but id check the smod vanilla jokes for the invisible joke as a start

[daring fern]

card:set_ability('j_modprefix_key')

[vernal seal]

hello am going to again ask of what is the problem with the atlas as i didn't managed to fix this
any help for what causes to crash the game will be very thankful
heres the error the game gives, the atlas table and the voucher file:

[topaz berry]

Im making a joker and want it to be able to copy more than 1 card in a similar way to blueprint. The SMODs API says merge_effects can be used to condense the returns of blueprint_effect. I am testing it and can not make it work. Below I have included the code for what I have so far. It currently should copy the effect of the joker to its left and the joker to its right.

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local left_joker = nil
        local right_joker
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then left_joker = G.jokers.cards[i - 1] end
        end
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then right_joker = G.jokers.cards[i + 1] end
        end
        return SMODS.merge_effects(SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, left_joker, context),SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, right_joker, context))
    end,
}

Here is the vanillaremake blueprint code for reference

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local other_joker = nil
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i + 1] end
        end
        return SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context)
    end,

Could someone explain if I am using SMODS.merge_effects properly or if I am making a different error?

[toxic rain]

not sure what an atlas_table is, and the naming seems right, you sure the file structure is ok and the file isn't misnamed

[vernal seal]

removeing the atlas_table will still crash the game

[daring fern]

local my_pos, effects = 1, {}
for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
    if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then my_pos = i end
end
if G.jokers.cards[my_pos-1] then
    effects[#effects+1] = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[my_pos-1], context)
end
if G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1] then
    effects[#effects+1] = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[my_pos-1], context)
end
if next(effects) then return SMODS.merge_effects(effects) end

[topaz berry]

I see, thank you

[daring fern]

Are you loading that file?

[vernal seal]

the voucher file? yes im loading the file

[daring fern]

No, the one with the atlas.

[vernal seal]

yes am loading the file

[mellow thunder]

Would it be feasible to change the background music if you're in the blind select screen and only if a specific boss blind is coming up? It's not super important, but I think it would be cool and I haven't had much luck finding anything about this

[daring fern]

if G.STATE == G.STATES.BLIND_SELECT and G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices.Boss == 'bl_modprefix_key'

[mellow thunder]

Oh thank you, didn't realize it would be that easy

[toxic rain]

ok i can't for the life of me figure out why im not getting the current xmult in the text, ive tried from testing it updates just fine but isn't showing up in the text, ive tried removing the local from solo_tally but that doesn't change anything (have to send the actual code in next message bc character limit)

[cursive gazelle]

You don’t need
atlas_table nor :register

File should be under assets/1x
And assets/2x

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/d43316d97bc927f3de431dd84c0283d41e69761a/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua#L17 here’s an example

[vernal seal]

already tried removing atlas_table and :regiter and it still crash
and the file is in both in 2x and 1x

[long sun]

i have officially given up, this will do

[toxic rain]

I can’t really the row numbers in the initial post, not sure it matters tho, bu

[clear ocean]

repost/bump from last night. strangely disabling the boss blind worked?

also oops works so idk what is causing the crash actually im assuming its my code

like everything seems to work its just this crash when going into the shop

looks like this crash happens regardless of the blind is disabled or not

[tepid crow]

Crash seems to talk about bl_gros_horizon, which isn't the one you posted here. Am I misunderstanding the crash or is there something else going on?

[clear ocean]

huh

that's weird

why is it crashing

[tepid crow]

also I'd use context.fix_probability instead of context.mod_probability but that's probably kind of a secondary thing

[clear ocean]

is there anything in the code that would cause that?

[clear ocean]

what's the difference /gen

[tepid crow]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0711a#:~:text=Modifying Probability

[clear ocean]

is it playing_card.ability.wheel_flipped?

[tepid crow]

I'm not sure, but you should double check which one of your blinds is the one actually crashing

[clear ocean]

like this? would i need to reset it after the blind?

[tepid crow]

the return was fine, you only need to change the if statement context check

[clear ocean]

the blind.disabled or context.fix_probability?

[tepid crow]

you only need to change if not blind.disabled and context.mod_probability then -> if not blind.disabled and context.fix_probability then yes

[clear ocean]

which i did

let me comment out the long

[tepid crow]

yeah, but you also changed the return to include denominator, which it shouldn't

[clear ocean]

okay it must be the radian itself because its the same crash even with horizon commented out

and i did remove the enominator line so not sure what's causing it now

and i can comment every other one out

same error even if its the only one

[clear ocean]

so it MUST be itself that's crashing not any other blind which rules out this

[tepid crow]

thanks discord, very helpful

[clear ocean]

discord momento

[tepid crow]

Hmm, weird. I'd double check what line functions/common_events.lua:2668 is about in the lovely dump

[clear ocean]

sure

get_new_boss()

if eligible_bosses[k] > min_use then is line 2668

[distant junco]

whats the prefix for booster packs?

[clear ocean]

you can look at this

[tepid crow]

I think it's either k or p? Whatever it says in smods/src/game_object.lua

[clear ocean]

hmm

so it could be the boss = { min = 1 }, line

not sure why though since min = 1 is allowed and all the other blinds worked

[tepid crow]

Ah, interesting. I'm guessing you're changing the blinds present in your game while continuing the same run?

[clear ocean]

that could be why

[distant junco]

thanks!

[clear ocean]

wait that might be why

shit that might be why

since i changed the blind from the long to the horizon

please don't be why

mainly because it would make me stupid

im shawmhawking rn

[tepid crow]

weeeee

[clear ocean]

with that TWO rows are complete

yes yes

[mellow thunder]

So I have a consumable here that swaps your hands and discards during a blind, and if you end up with 0 hands this way you lose instantly. But for some reason after you lose this way, your playing card hand stays active and blocks everything underneath it until the game gets restarted. I've tried moving the 0 hands check pretty much everywhere, and it does the same thing. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[clear ocean]

again not the most original

it works kinda

it doesn't debuff if removed and if you add one it doesn't apply asap

it does take like a moment

not sure why

it's weird like it works and does update correctly but not fast enough and not sure why

[frosty rampart]

reference a similar blind (e.g. the plant or one of the suit-debuffing ones) from vanillaremade to make sure you're catching everything maybe

[clear ocean]

those simply have a debuff table i am duplicating the oyster i made which debuffs enchanced cards

[frosty rampart]

and the oyster debuffs immediately if enhancement status changes?

[clear ocean]

yup

[frosty rampart]

might need to hook/patch somewhere to force the game to recalc debuff when a seal is applied (i figure it's already set up to do so when a center changes, because that's a situation that can be encountered in vanilla. like changing a card's suit during a suit-debuffing blind)

[clear ocean]

my best guess is either my code isn't optimised or well yeah that

[frosty rampart]

i doubt it's code optimization

[clear ocean]

i mean how hard would it be to hook/patch the recalc debuff and honestly would it be worth it since it does update and the deck does update when going into the blind

[ocean sinew]

how to make a booster in the consumable area that the players can open

[clear ocean]

immediately going into the blind

the reason it looks like unfinished art wise since im going to go ahead and work on the code so i can worry about art later

[ocean sinew]

how to create booster packs in the consumable area

[clear ocean]

what do you think of this idea?

[ocean sinew]

Killer blind

[clear ocean]

removing all does make it more compact

that's enough for tonight going to get ready for bed and play some new horizons

[gusty iron]

how would i go about patching a 4th blind into every ante?

[upbeat bronze]

ok so im learning joker forge a bit

trying to figure out how i'd have a joker create one of two different tags when a blind is skipped

[twilit wing]

i wanna make a joker that does something only when money is subtracted or taken away

is there a event for that?

[feral tree]

difference between ease_background_colour and ease_background_colour_blind?

[gusty iron]

oh GOD WHAT DID I DO TO THE SCALING

[jolly shadow]

seems fair probably

[loud summit]

green stake on stereoids

[gusty iron]

OH GOD

(Scaling is Ante{Ante}Ante)

(+300 as a base)

[loud summit]

literally impossible

[gusty iron]

i mean the stake is literally called "You're Fucked" 😭

[loud summit]

true

maybe if you get a shippost joker

[gusty iron]

Its mainly to prepare for a new rarity im making

Where basically if you get it on any other stake besides YF, you kinda just win

[loud summit]

oh

[fallow breach]

does anyone know why the xmult from the voucher is showing the mult above the deck?

[gusty iron]

you need to set card first, i believe.

[gusty iron]

the grand reveal (dont mind the stake image its not done yet)

[mild bronze]

Lightwork for my singular joker that is longer than most book chapters

[gusty iron]

what does it do 😔

[mild bronze]

Lots of things

N{n} scailing off triggers and money, every cent is +1 for n and every trigger, like opening packs and really anything gives +1

^ mult on conditions

^^ chips and mult

Luck changes

Luck chances

Setting changes

^^^^^^^ mult if you have only this joker

Busted scailing

X mult

X chips

Joker creation

Consumable creation

+1 slots for everything, joker slots, consumable slots, and all that

Its own mini guys (like summons basically)

More stuff

Uhh

Yeah

[gusty iron]

What if I just make it so that the youre fucked stake immediately crashes the game upon getting that joker

[mild bronze]

Then i'm fucked, duh

Maybe the half chapter would work tho

[stiff locust]

what if I just get the collector voucher from betmma vouchers and then redeem 1 bajillion blank vouchers

[mild bronze]

Its a little worse but still good

[frosty rampart]

the math is slightly off i think, unless you've already addressed this
ante 1 should be 301 and ante 2 should be 304 (since 300 + 1{1}1 = 300 + 1 and 300 + 2{2}2 = 300 + 2)

[mild bronze]

Also average hyperascendent clears

[gusty iron]

I made it truncate to rhe first two places

The rest get put as zeroes

So 301 -> 300
304 -> 300

As im relatively sure thats how the base game does it too

[charred widget]

What is the if statement for the highest ranked card in a played hand?

[frosty rampart]

there uh
isn't one

you need to loop through the played hand and find the highest rank that way

[charred widget]

i see

and how would i do that?

[frosty rampart]

set a local highest_rank to 0 before the loop, loop through the played hand, and if the current card has a higher rank than the current highest rank you store that new rank in highest_rank. at the end of the loop you now have the highest rank
if you're in context.individual, you can now check if the current card (i.e. context.other_card) has the highest rank, and if it does do whatever (if you wanted to do something when the highest rank is scored)

[harsh belfry]

set the local highest_rank to -math.huge instead because if someone makes a negative rank for some reason the code is exploded

[mild bronze]

I forgot how to do lua i do like 4 coding languages and have short term memory loss

[frosty rampart]

if someone makes a negative rank for some reason i will kill them with hammers /j

[mild bronze]

Not very nice :c

[shell timber]

it is justifiable

[charred widget]

alright i understand the concept but you'll have to walk me through the coding part

[frosty rampart]

try it on your own first :3

[mild bronze]

I'm gonna get gunned down because of my -4 card rank now

[charred widget]

ok so there's local in the joker I'm working on, but it's under update = function

can i do local in calculate = function?

[frosty rampart]

yea you can do local anywhere
it essentially just means that as soon as you leave the function, the variable ceases to exist

you don't want to leave stray variables lying around, if that makes sense

[stiff locust]

no but what if it was like the dungeons and degenerate gamblers negative cards

you ever think about that one mr bat man

[charred widget]

ok how would i set up the loop?

actually better question, does card.rank exist as a variable

[faint yacht]

card.base.suit, card.base.value, card.base.id, card.base.nominal...

[charred widget]

so value in this case would be the rank?

[faint yacht]

As string.

[charred widget]

so I think i want rank

because i don't think the loop would be looking for a string

unless i am mistaken

[faint yacht]

ID is number.

[stiff locust]

but what if it was a table

[charred widget]

alright, how would i loop through played cards

[stiff locust]

for index, value in ipairs(G.play.cards) do

best time to do this is during context.before or context.after

do before if you want it to affect scoring and after if you don't

[charred widget]

well what I'm trying to do is find a card with the Cell edition, as well as the highest rank in the played hand, and retrigger that card twice

[stiff locust]

it's best you run value:get_id() to get the rank of the cards, that makes it compatible with modded effects that change ranks

returns an integer, aces are 14 it's aces high

for edition check if value.edition and value.edition.key == "e_modprefix_editionkey" then

the first part here checks value.edition exists, otherwise it'll crash if the card has no edition

[charred widget]

I already have the edition checking set up

hey, im trying to make a joker similar to steel joker that counts the Ace of Spades in ur deck and idk where i went wrong but its only doing x1 no matter how many ace of spades i have

    config = {
        extra = {
            x_mult = 0.1,
            ace_tally = 1
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.x_mult, card.ability.extra.ace_tally } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before then
            for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                if v:get_id() == Ace and v:is_suit('Spades', nil, true) then card.ability.ace_tally = card.ability.ace_tally + 1 end
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                Xmult_mod = 1 + card.ability.extra.x_mult * card.ability.ace_tally,
                message = 'X' .. card.ability.extra.x_mult,
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
    end
}```

[stiff locust]

you're changing card.ability.ace_tally when the internal value is card.ability.extra.ace_tally

[spring osprey]

OHHHH

lmao

thats ez fix ty

[stiff locust]

yeah

[stiff locust]

oh retriggers? in that case

after you check the rank and edition of the card in context.before, set a flag on the correct card

like value.modprefix_hit, something that won't be used by other mods

like how c dagger applied card.getting_sliced to mark stuff

then in if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
you can check if the card has the flag modprefix_hit and retrigger that card twice return { repetitions = 2}

and then in context.after go through all the cards in the played hand again and remove the flag from all of them

technically you could just run the iterate through cards in context.repetition and ... that is really unoptimised and will run the loop way too many times, since context.repetition already goes through all the played cards once

you know what

this coding stuff is too much work for my brain at 11:53 pm

I'll do this tomorrow

[stiff locust]

that's fair

[mild bronze]

I need sleep I'm hallucinating

[stiff locust]

keep at it but sleep first

coding is really rewarding when you get it down

[mild bronze]

There are multiple black figures outside my house

[stiff locust]

are you sure you're not just in [Hyperlink Blocked.]

[mild bronze]

Maybe

[loud summit]

call that the hyperlink block

[mild bronze]

I'm in the dark fountain help

[spring osprey]

what context should i have the tally fire in? i had it in before but doing that it doesnt update when a card is added

[stiff locust]

during loc_vars and during context.before for the joker to give accurate benefits

all code inside the loc_vars block runs when you hover over the joker

that makes sure it always displays the right value

[spring osprey]

oh thats convenient ty

[stiff locust]

mhm

[stoic void]

what do I do

[daring fern]

You need to do that in add_to_deck

[stoic void]

I have to go now, didnt know the time

I will not understand wht that means but the time I get back home]

[true jasper]

@stoic void

-- code here
end```

```remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
-- code to reverse effect here
end```

[stoic void]

Ah ok

Thx

[daring fern]

Also you need a context check in calculate

[stoic void]

So calculate = function(self,
Card, from_debuff)
Code
end

[true jasper]

what you already have for the calculate but just add a

-- return here
end```

[lavish elm]

can you export stuff from forge into lua?

[rotund sable]

If you mean JokerForge there's a export mod files button

On the sidebar

[lavish elm]

ok thx

[long sun]

is there a pool for every center in the game? (including Jokers, Tags, Consumables)

or do i have to loop over G.P_CENTERS and G.P_TAGS separately

[daring fern]

Anything not in G.P_CENTERS is not a center.

[long sun]

right

okay i may as well explain what i wanna do

[wispy falcon]

Is there a mod to start with a custom deck? I need it for testing some stuff

[long sun]

i'm making stakes similar to Ortalab's, that only allow Vanilla and Phanta content, and only Phanta Jokers

so i need to hook their in_pools

[daring fern]

Why do you need a pool of everything for that?

[long sun]

wait fair ;u;

idk i'll try a different method
