and if the list is empty it bails selecting a random one and spawns the default for the set instead

[thorn basin]

and the default one should be the default joker, right?

[slim ferry]

by default cards that are in play anywhere get excluded from the pool

excluding enhancements and editions

[thorn basin]

alrighty

[wind steppe]

i dont think playing cards are excluded

[slim ferry]

wdym

they definitely are

otherwise you would get defaults as soon as you have one of each enhancement

[wind steppe]

no like the base cards

if i have a ten of clubs i can still get another ten of clubs

from standard packs

[slim ferry]

yeah

correct

you can

because ranks and suits arent even centers so duplicates can appear by default

me when i cardboard

[lavish elm]

how to check if a specific voucher has been redeemed?

on a joker

[vale grove]

about this code mr seals,how do i update the local word to be split into 5 (i want to check each individual later to see if every letter is arranged properly for wordle)

or alternatively how do i check the first letter of the local

[daring fern]

local letters = {}
for i=1, #word do
    table.insert(letters, word:sub(i, i))
end

[vale grove]

do i make 5 of those for each individual one?

[daring fern]

No, it makes a table called letters and puts each letter in it.

[vale grove]

so how do i call each individual letter?

or well not call

but check

[daring fern]

letters[3] would be the third letter.

[vale grove]

thanks

one more how do i check joker position?

[daring fern]

local my_pos
for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do
    if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
        my_pos = i
        break
    end
end

[vale grove]

does this call work the same as with letters?

as in my_pos[2] for example?

[slim ferry]

G.jokers.cards[2] is the second joker if thats what you mean

[vale grove]

then what is the point of my_post if you mind me asking

[slim ferry]

my_pos is the position of the joker itself

[vale grove]

so if i want to check the first letter of the joker in the second position do i need my_pos[2} or G.jokers.card[2]

[slim ferry]

G.jokers.cards[2]

also my_pos isnt a table its just a number

[vale grove]

weird how in local letters the letters is the table but here it is

im learning something new everyday

[frail parcel]

is this how i would do debuffing cards of a certain rank

[daring fern]

No, it's debuff = {value = '2'}

[lavish elm]

how to add joker slots?

[vale grove]

look at blackdeck in vanilla remade

[lavish elm]

ok thx

[slim ferry]

black deck does it via built-in deck functionality

for anything else its G.jokers:change_size(mod)

[frail parcel]

for multiple values do i do

    debuff = {
        value = '2', '3'
    }

[vale grove]

would both of these work?

[daring fern]

local passed = true
for i=1, #word do
    local joker = G.jokers.cards[i]
    if word:sub(i, i) ~= localize({type = 'name_text', set = joker.ability.set, key = joker.config.center.key}):sub(1, 1) then passed = false end
end
if passed then
    -- code
end

[vale grove]

        local letters = {}
        local firstletter = {}

        for i = 1, #word do
            table.insert(letters, word:sub(i, i))
        end
        for i = 1, #word do
            table.insert(firstletter, getJokerName:sub(i, i))
        end

        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
                my_pos = i
                break
            end
        end
if context.joker_main and G.jokers.cards[1] then

    if first_letter{1} ==  Letters[1] then
        return { 
            message = "test",
        }
    end
end

i currently have this

any reason this would /wouldnt work?

besides the second table doing #word twice

[daring fern]

Yes, it wouldn't.

[vale grove]

how come?

besides the 2 fixed typos

first_letter and #word on

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[vale grove]

play wordle with the first letter of the name of the joker

(for example runner would be r)

[wispy falcon]

Okay, can someone help me with making blackjack as a boss blind?

[daring fern]

You mean for the joker to trigger the first jokers first letter of its name needs to be the same as the first letter of the wordle word?

[vale grove]

no currently im making a deck and if you spell out todays wordle all your jokers trigger again

[daring fern]

So the first five jokers first letters of their names would need to be the same as the wordle word for all jokers to retrigger?

[vale grove]

yes

[daring fern]

if context.retrigger_joker_check then
    local passed = true
    for i=1, #word do
        local joker = G.jokers.cards[i]
        if word:sub(i, i) ~= localize({type = 'name_text', set = joker.ability.set, key = joker.config.center.key}):sub(1, 1) then passed = false end
    end
    if passed then
        return {repetitions = 1}
    end
end

[vale grove]

so lets say the word was READY
you'd need
R unner
E ven steven
A bstract
D elayed gratification
Y orick

in that order

[vale grove]

so i repeat this 5 times for each individual letter?

[wispy falcon]

bump

[daring fern]

No, that does everything.

Assuming word exists.

[vale grove]

im changing word to G.YA_wordleword

function Game:main_menu(change_context)
    local g = oldmainmenu(self, change_context)
    local date = os.date("*t")
    local newdate = string.format("%04d-%02d-%02d", date.year, date.month, date.day)
    local _, json = require"SMODS.https".request("https://www.nytimes.com/svc/wordle/v2/"..newdate..".json")
    G.YA_wordleword = JSON.decode(json).solution
    return g
end

bcs this is how i define the wordle word

or do you advice creating a local word = G.YA_wordleword?

[lavish elm]

how to get the variables from vars and use it in calculate?

[slim ferry]

wdym vars

[red flower]

you should save variables in the card's config and use that in both loc_vars and calculate

[wispy falcon]

bump2

[lavish elm]

here is the thing I have a joker that changes all values and I don't want to change those specific values

[frosty rampart]

this is why value manipulation should have never been invented /j

[red flower]

wdym

[frosty rampart]

more seriously, set up your joker that modifies values so that it can ignore certain marked variables (e.g. put values you don't want to change into a subtable called "immutable" or something, and then the joker can ignore the immutable table)

[lavish elm]

ok thx

[ruby delta]

Hey can you help me, been trying this and it has been almost 9 months now yet I still can't get this working all I want is that the card does what mime joker does but x2 instead of once and it's second function is to give me x10 xmults when I have all my other 4 custom joker card I made j_rwby_....

Now the second function doesn't work it gives me 10x mults even tho if those cards are not there.

[slim ferry]

youre using the wrong context

also you dont have to delete it and resend it

[frosty rampart]

with a message this big, it's so annoying to keep reposting it that people are probably less likely to help you

[wispy falcon]

bump3

[ruby delta]

No no I just made a mistake so instead of re-eding over and over i sent it again

[ruby delta]

Can u explain I kinda still learning this part

[slim ferry]

have you looked at like any vanillaremade joker

that does held in hand effects

[ruby delta]

Mime? Joker

[vale grove]

calculate = function(self, back, context)
        local letters = {}
        local firstletter = {}
        
        
        for i = 1, #G.YA_wordleword do
            table.insert(letters, G.YA_wordleword:sub(i, i))
        end
        for i = 1, #firstletter do
            table.insert(firstletter, getJokerName:sub(i, i))
        end

        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
                my_pos = i
                break
            end
        end
if context.retrigger_joker_check then
    local passed = true
    for i=1, G.YA_wordleword do
        local joker = G.jokers.cards[i]
        if G.YA_wordleword:sub(i, i) ~= localize({type = 'name_text', set = joker.ability.set, key = joker.config.center.key}):sub(1, 1) then passed = false end
    end
    if passed then
        return {repetitions = 1}
    end
end
end

when i run this i get an error saying itsays YA_wordleword is a nil value
despite G.YA_wordleword = JSON.decode(json).solution me defining it here

[ruby delta]

My main issue is that I want the joker to only give me x10 mults when my other 4 custom jokers are there but it doesn't do that,

[slim ferry]

oh nevermind

i see now

you need to do next(SMODS.find_card(...))

[daring fern]

Firstly, remove the old code, Secondly, you didn't change modprefix in the hook.

[vale grove]

what old code and where do you see mod prefix?

[ruby delta]

Like how exactly becz I did type that and yet it did work or have I done a mistake?

[slim ferry]

wdym how theres not much to do different

[daring fern]

Everything other than the code I gave you, it still says G.modprefix_wordleword in the Game:main_menu hook.

[ruby delta]

This is what I did

[slim ferry]

yeah and thats not what i said

its next(SMODS.find_card(...))

[vale grove]

local oldmainmenu = Game.main_menu
function Game:main_menu(change_context)
    local g = oldmainmenu(self, change_context)
    local date = os.date("*t")
    local newdate = string.format("%04d-%02d-%02d", date.year, date.month, date.day)
    local _, json = require"SMODS.https".request("https://www.nytimes.com/svc/wordle/v2/"..newdate..".json")
    G.YA_wordleword = JSON.decode(json).solution
    return g
end

im probably just really stupid but i genuinely dont see it?

[cursive gazelle]

This is so ai generated 😭

Sorry but “Team Bonus !” Is too funny

[wispy falcon]

bump4

[daring fern]

No, in the code you sent previously it was still G.modprefix_wordleword

[vale grove]

oh yeah but i said i updated that didn't i?

[daring fern]

No.

[ruby delta]

The card is about Team RWBY, and the card has a second function where the other character joker cards are active it give a team bonus 10xmults but yah I can't figure out how to make this joker to detect the other 4 joker and give me 10x mults it's either it doesn't give me or it give me even if the other joker are not there

[cursive gazelle]

You can do

And

[ruby delta]

I wish I could just use Ai it just never works 😭 it actually messed my whole code instead of helping me

[vale grove]

then i mustve imagined it, anyway why does it not recognize my G.YA_wordleword = JSON.decode(json).solution
In my deck.lua?

[cursive gazelle]

And call the other function

[vale grove]

for i = 1, #G.YA_wordleword do
table.insert(letters, G.YA_wordleword:sub(i, i))
end
here in specific

[ruby delta]

Am new I use Smods wiki and learnt Lua a bit to get till here and asked so many people for their option on how to get those function am sorry if am being annoying but I really am confused when u tell me it's next (SMODS.find_card(...))

[ruby delta]

Can u explain how I could exactly do it what should I remove or add in the pre existing code

[cursive gazelle]

If context.joker_main and next(SMODS.Find_card()) and next(SMODS.Find_card()) and … then 
— code 
End```

[slim ferry]

capitalization moment

[cursive gazelle]

I’m on phone give me a break

You lizard lover

[ruby delta]

So btn the ( ) I should add the joker key?

[slim ferry]

yes just everything you had before

its the exact same but inside next()

[cursive gazelle]

Yes ofc

[slim ferry]

which is
what i was trying to say

[cursive gazelle]

you’re pretty horrible at communicating with people

Try sign language next time

[ruby delta]

I was lost when u said like that am sorry 😭

[ruby delta]

💀😭🤣

Thanks both of u let me try and I will come back (am sure I will mess it up)

[cursive gazelle]

Btw ai doesn’t know how to make balatro mods

Unless you feed one the entire smods framework

And lovely

[slim ferry]

and the entirety of balatro

[cursive gazelle]

Honestly you can make an ai that does that if you have the source code

[slim ferry]

and also it has to even understand lua to begin with when most ai's knowledge ends at python lmao

[ruby delta]

I learnt the hard way after it messed my whole code it literally changed the good part of the code and ahhh that's why u guys are very helpful thanks a lot 🙏

[cursive gazelle]

Lmaoooo

[frosty rampart]

but don't do that (check pins)

[ruby delta]

Yah.... Lol someone should make one ngl, just type ur thoughts and it makes u the mod

[cursive gazelle]

Yes I’m legally disallowed i know

[frosty rampart]

don't do that (check pins)

[slim ferry]

i mean thats like literally the only thing python is good at besides that its bad at fucking everything

[cursive gazelle]

I don’t like being sued

[ruby delta]

Check pins?

[frosty rampart]

check the pinned messages in this channel

[lavish elm]

config = {extra = {extra_Xmult = 2, required_mult = 10, extra_Joker_slot = 1, current_Xmult = 1, current_Joker_slots = 0}}

                    current_Joker_slots = true})

why is it still tampering with the value

[cursive gazelle]

Interpretive language when the immortal “public class main” walks in

[ruby delta]

Owhh I get it, is it really bad to use Ai tho?

[frosty rampart]

what part of "Discussions regarding the use of AI and AI tools is now strictly prohibited in these channels." encourages you to continue talking about using AI

[ruby delta]

        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition then
            return {
                repetitions = card.ability.extra
            }
        end

        if context.joker_main then
            if next(SMODS.find_card('j_rwby_ruby')) and 
               next(SMODS.find_card('j_rwby_weiss')) and 
               next(SMODS.find_card('j_rwby_blake')) and 
               next(SMODS.find_card('j_rwby_yang')) then
                return {
                    xmult = self.config.team_mult,
                    message = "Team Bonus!",
                    colour = G.C.RED
                }
            end
        end
    end
}```


Now? Better?

[slim ferry]

yeah that works

[frosty rampart]

you should be using card.ability instead of self.config
and the find_card function call needs a lowercase f
otherwise yes that looks good

[ruby delta]

There is two more jokers that I have an issue my ruby joker stopped working for some reason now after updating Smods (ya I got bck to this mod after a 3months gap) and keeps on crashing 😭

you still left a self.config in the second return, but yea that's better

No, you need to put everything you don't want to be changed in a table called immutable in the config.

I am a terrible coder
I don't make clean code
I make functional code basically bare minimum

You would do it in context.press_play

[nova orchid]

how tho

Thanks! I tried doing something similar to this but had the wrong condition lol

[daring fern]

Do you mean changing their rank and suit?

[nova orchid]

i want to change their suit, and get rid of their enhancements and seals

[daring fern]

if context.before then

        v:set_ability('c_base', nil, true)
        SMODS.change_base(v, 'Suit')
    end
end

[nova orchid]

and i replace "suit" with the suit, right

[lavish elm]

for some reason when changing the values the joker slots go back to 5

maybe for additional context the first lua file is main.lua and the second is decks.lua

[daring fern]

G.word doesn't exist and you need to remove the old code.

[vale grove]

thats not the issue (yet)

it doesnt recognize g.YA_wordleword

in this

        for i = 1, #word do
            table.insert(letters, G.YA_wordleword:sub(i, i))
        end

even if i remove local word and just put G.YA_wordleword it also doesnt work

[vale grove]

i keep gettings this (with uipdated G.word)

[tender ermine]

How would one change the weight of a modded enhancement depending on a variable

[slim ferry]

use get_weight for things that need a weight that changes dynamically

[tender ermine]

I know that, but how would I set the weight? Like do I use self.weight? How would I access the weight variable to set it

[slim ferry]

yeah use self.weight

[tender ermine]

Huh, okay

[slim ferry]

and then whatever other variable that you set to change the weight

[wintry solar]

you return the weight

[tender ermine]

I’ll try

[slim ferry]

yeah

[vale grove]

also im confused on the "old code"

        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
                my_pos = i
                break
            end
        end
```you mean this?

[vale grove]

ohh do i not need that anymore?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[vale grove]

okay so now it doesnt crash my game anymore but still does not work
if #G.YA_wordleword:sub(i, i) ~= localize({type = 'name_text', set = joker.ability.set, key = joker.config.center.key}):sub(1, 1) then passed = false end
what does name_text need to be? (i want it to check the first letter of the joker name)

[daring fern]

It needs to be name_text

[vale grove]

well it currently doesnt work and im trying to rule out thingies

today is kinda a bad wordle for testing CIVIL

[heavy elm]

how do i affect the odds that a joker shows up in shop? i want to make a joker with a very small chance of appearing, way smaller than if i were to just make it a rare

[daring fern]

You would make a new rarity.

[vale grove]

currently im trying Clever Icecream Vagabond Ice cream again and Loyalty card
CIVIL
and it doesnt do the retrigger

[heavy elm]

alright, got it

[unkempt bronze]

Hello, everyone. Mister "Trouble_with_mods" is back again, and I have a trouble with mods. Specifically, in one I'm making. See, I have a joker that should randomly add or subtract a rank and randomly change the suit of a duplicated card, but I don't know how to code such a thing. Ideally, the original card isn't altered at all, just the copy.

[vale grove]

im trying calculate = function(self, back, context, word)
if context.retrigger_joker_check then   
    local passed = true
    for i=1, #G.YA_wordleword do
        local joker = G.jokers.cards[i]
        if #G.YA_wordleword:sub(i, i) ~= localize({type = 'name_text', set = joker.ability.set, key = joker.config.center.key}):sub(1, 1) then passed = false end
    end
    if passed then
        return {repetitions = 1}
    end
end
end

is there eanything else i need for this besides the definition of G.YA_wordleword

[daring fern]

Do you have retrigger_joker enabled?

[vale grove]

where am i supposed to enable that?

[daring fern]

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

[vale grove]

in SMODS.Back? or in my main.lua

[daring fern]

No, outside of everything.

[vale grove]

wdym outside of everything?

[slim ferry]

optional features also dont need to be a function

[vale grove]

im so confused

[slim ferry]

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

[vale grove]

another thingy

before i read that

calculate = function(self, back, context, word)
    SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
    return {
        retrigger_joker = true,
    }
end
if context.retrigger_joker_check then   
    local passed = true
    for i=1, #G.YA_wordleword do
        local joker = G.jokers.cards[i]
        if #G.YA_wordleword:sub(i, i) ~= localize({type = 'name_text', set = joker.ability.set, key = joker.config.center.key}):sub(1, 1) then passed = false end
    end
    if passed then
        return {repetitions = 1}
    end
end
end

how do i make each joker message their own first letter at the end of a round

[daring fern]

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval then
    local effects = {}
    for i, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        table.insert(effects, {message = localize({type = 'name_text', set = v.ability.set, key = v.config.center.key}):sub(1, 1), message_card = v})
    end
    return SMODS.merge_effects(effects)
end

[lavish elm]

bump

[slim ferry]

you should do G.jokers:change_size(card.ability.extra.extra_Joker_slot) instead

[topaz berry]

I have been getting the message 'attempt to index field 'extra' [a nil value] when running if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'callosum', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then in context.before. my config looks like config = { extra = { effects = 1, {}, odds = 2} },. Is there a reason I am card.ability.extra is returning nil?

i can post more of the jokers code if it may be relevant

[daring fern]

Did you start a new run?

[topaz berry]

oh

i see

let me check

that makes so much sense thank you

[crude ermine]

?

[red flower]

?

[slim ferry]

❓

[vivid mesa]

I had an idea to make Fortunato from The Cask of Amontillado a legendary joker but it turns out he isn't actually a jester, he just wears a jester's clothes for symbolism

[frosty rampart]

do it anyway

[cursive gazelle]

?

[vivid mesa]

So what I thought of for his effect was "stone cards give x3 mult when scored or held in hand, which is kinda bad

[frosty rampart]

I mean that's pretty strong, stone cards aren't too hard to make/find and that makes them both outclass steel cards and kings/queens with triboulet

[latent river]

Doesn anyone know how to enable the high contrast option for custom cards?

[vale grove]

where am i supposed to put this?

SMODS.Back({
    key = "Wordle",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Monkey with a typewriter",
        text = { "Play the daily wordle",
            "with the first letter",
            "of your jokers",
            "All your jokers retrigger"
        },
    },
    config = {},
    pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
    atlas = "Jokers",
    unlocked = true,
    
calculate = function(self, back, context, word)
    
if context.retrigger_joker_check then   
    local passed = true
    for i=1, #G.YA_wordleword do
        local joker = G.jokers.cards[i]
        
        if #G.YA_wordleword:sub(i, i) ~= localize({type = 'name_text', set = joker.ability.set, key = joker.config.center.key}):sub(1, 1) then passed = false end
        
    end
    if passed then
        return {repetitions = 1}
    end
    if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval then
    local effects = {}
    for i, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        table.insert(effects, {message = localize({type = 'name_text', set = v.ability.set, key = v.config.center.key}):sub(1, 1), message_card = v})
    end
    return SMODS.merge_effects(effects)
end
end
end

})

bcs i currently have it like this

[calm ember]

SMODS.Joker{
        cost = 7,
        key = 'snakeJoker',
        loc_txt = {
            name = "Snake",
            text = {
                'A fragile {C:attention}Snek.{}',
                'Everytime you free this snek...',
                'It comes back {C:red}STRONGER.{}',
                'Gains {X:mult,C:white}X1{} mult',
                'each time you find and buy it again',
                '{X:mult,C:white}X#1#{}'
            }
        },
        atlas = 'Jokers',
        pos = {x = 0,y = 0},
        config = { extra = {Xmult = 1}},
        loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
            return {vars = {
                        SnekLevel
                        }
                    }
        end,

Im trying to get it to show a custom number, and when i sell the card the mult increases by 1 the next time i find the card, but the number isnt showing at the bottom of the description of the joker.
the joker effect of selling and buying works fine, just the description is stuck saying "X1" at the bottom

[prisma cape]

how would i get my script to edit an existing balatro function? wanting to export card information when selected

or override an existing function* i guess

[red flower]

use a hook or a lovely patch
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-patch

(next section is hooks)

[prisma cape]

thanks so much

can a patch call functions contained in the same script or does the patch execute inside of balatro.exe and therefore couldn't find the reference?

[red flower]

yeah it can

[prisma cape]

this is great news

[static valley]

when iterating through card.ability, how can I tell when I've reached card.ability.extra, if it's even there?

[red flower]

for key, value in pairs(card.ability) do
    if key == "extra" then
        -- code
    end
end

?

[static valley]

for today im leaving it at this, the displaying at the end of round works (although not in the wordle colour format but thats an issue for later) the retriggering doesnt work yet

I've never done any sort of coding before (outside of scratch) so forgive me if this is an easy question, but i can't figure out what this crash explanation means

from what i understand it has the correct closing bracket where it wants them

could someone help me understand?

[red flower]

you're missing commas in the text

between each string

also after the name

also after a bunch of other stuff

[hidden oak]

oh alright

so like this then?

            }
        end
    end
}

[maiden phoenix]

Just wondering, are you using notepad to code? I'd recommend using VSC with a lua extension

It will highlight errors like missing commas

[hidden oak]

i'm just using base vs code

[maiden phoenix]

Ah, without any lua extension?

[hidden oak]

i didnt know there were extensions

[red flower]

you're missing one before config

[hidden oak]

are they 3rd party or can i get one inside the app?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-start-making-balatro-mods

[maiden phoenix]

You can click on this button in VSC and get this extension

[hidden oak]

thank you both so much

[quick prairie]

does anyone have an example of how to make a joker that targets the probability only on specific random groups? like if i wanted to make an oops but specifically for lucky cards

[hidden oak]

ok the Xmult part works but it says error instead of X5 when it activates

[faint yacht]

return { xmult = ... }

[frosty rampart]

i don't have an example but i can explain how to
as per the documentation in the smods 0711 release notes, every probability roll has an identifier, which you can get as context.identifier
to figure out which one(s) you want, do if context.mod_probability then print(context.identifier) end in your joker's calculate code and then have the relevant probability run so you can see what prints. make sure you have debugplus so you can see the console in-game
once you know what identifier you're looking for, check if the probability roll is for that identifier in your context checks

[quick prairie]

any chance the identifier is the same as the probability key? im using joker forge to try and make the bulk of my mods, and im so lazy i dont want to consider making a joker outside of it to then adding everything back in to the main mod and editing the atlas or whatever. ill probably end up doing it anyway if i have no other option though

[nova orchid]

how do i instantly destroy a joker with no animation, i want to make it so that 2 j_otm_magnetictile jokers coagulate into a j_otm_magnetictower joker, i have this so far:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.card_added and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
        local new_card = context.card
    end
end

[plucky berry]

guys what's the command for ^mult

I'm trying Emult but it's not working

looked in the cryptid files and it's using both Emult and emult I don't understand

[frosty rampart]

you need talisman for emult to work

it's not built into smods

[nova orchid]

or you might be able to do Xmult with the current amount of mult or exponetilized further (X * X = X^2, X * X^2 = X^3, etc.)

[plucky berry]

i have talisman

    key = "sodalite",
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    atlas = "jokers",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 8,
    pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
    config = { extra = { odds = 3, Emult = 1.1 } },

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'napoli_sodalite')
        return { vars = { numerator, denominator, card.ability.extra.Emult } }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card and context.other_card.base
           and context.other_card.base.suit == "napoli_spade"
           and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'napoli_sodalite', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
            return {
                Emult = lenient_bignum(card.ability.extra.Emult)
            }
        end
    end
}```

this is my code it's to make a joker like bloodstone with ^mult

napoli_spade is my custom suit

made the same code for another jocer with xchips and it works

[nova orchid]

is anybody gonna help me with mine

[plucky berry]

i'd help you if i knew how to

[hidden oak]

How would i use this section of code from VanillaRemade's wiki

Thank you

.

can anyone help me T .T

[red flower]

if nobody replies is because 1) there's nobody here, 2) they don't know, 3) they don't want to help rn
spamming the channel won't make people help faster (ive seen you do this multiple times now)

[clear ocean]

not sure why it doesn't work. is it because it's a table?

[nova orchid]

i think it's

SMODS.Back { stuff here }

not

SMODS.Back( { stuff here} )

but i may be wrong

[clear ocean]

i don't think that is the issue but i can try just to cross it out

[nova orchid]

here's an example i have

[clear ocean]

same error it isn't that. i didn't think it was that, but it didn't hurt to try

maybe try with only one voucher

yeah it is because its a table. but is there a way to make it where it starts with two vouchers?

[winter flower]

how do i make it so that if there's a specific blind present
something like let's say the music changes to something else

[clear ocean]

i could just do one

looking at cardsleeves it might just be where vouchers only do one maybe thats because thats how balatro was coded or balancing which i guess is fair since you do start off with a voucher

[nova orchid]

have you checked this

[clear ocean]

i actually tried that with adding the apply before reading the top comment and doing +2

might be showing how it wouldve been implentanted if it wasnt config done

which one do you prefer when you dual play with the sleeve and deck all star? hone or out the park

[clear ocean]

killing myself

[high verge]

Working on my own design for cards

Faces placeholders

Interesting. If you have an enhanced card it just uses the shadow of that

[clear ocean]

thats actually kinda cool

having a border around it

[high verge]

So guess that means even regular ones are only using the card back for the shadow

[clear ocean]

i think there's a variable or function to disable the shadow if needed

[high verge]

Yeah since my design covers a good chunk of the card I figure I'd have to make custom enhancers so they'll actually show up xD

Oh no the shadow is fine it's just something interesting to notice

[fickle vale]

does anyone know how I could set the level of a specific hand to lvl 4 from the start of the game? (I have a deck that I want to have high card start at level 4)

besides giving myself 4 plutos

[clear ocean]

i think there are either two ways: some config that i don't know of that does that or an apply function that levels up

you could look at space joker

nvm

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/24ee6098f692a58a34d573dec5a86a347c5fd13a/src/spectrals.lua#L953 @fickle vale

SMODS.smart_level_up_hand(card, "High Card", true) and there is either another argument or you can just do a for loop four times

okay the sleeve combo might be cracked 😭

rerolling its was just a lucky pull of rares and editions but uncommon/rares and editions appear which is the point of the vouchers which does work

not too worried of the sleeve combo since you will need to play with the sleeves mod idk

you decide on that

yeah after rerolling its i think balanced enough and more of a fun deck to play around with

yeah its a fair deck tested with sleeve and red deck

[fickle vale]

thanks for your help!

[clear ocean]

since i made an edition, its only natural to make a tag

[feral tree]

what's wrong with this? trying to make it so planet cards dont take up any consumable slots in a joker

[harsh belfry]

what is rares default_weight?

[vocal helm]

How would I apply a shader effect to a Joker that shifts its pixels (i.e. a wave shader) without it going past its card size in the canvas? Right now the shader I've got draws itself normally and then applies a copy of itself with the shader that kinda bypasses into other parts of the atlas

[loud summit]

hey so when youre directly calling level_up_hand to level a custom hand

do you use the key of the hand instead

[frosty rampart]

it can take either the key or the poker hand object itself i think

[loud summit]

local ref_levelup = level_up_hand
function level_up_hand(card, hand, instant, amount, ...)
   if next(SMODS.find_card("j_nflame_genplanet")) and hand ~= "nflame_generic" then
      level_up_hand(card, "nflame_generic", instant, 1)
   end
   return ref_levelup(card, hand. instant, amount, ...)
end
``` ok am i doing this right

[frosty rampart]

not quite
you've got the right idea but the hook is a bit wrong

[harsh belfry]

you are doing a bit of recursion

[loud summit]

thats what i was worried of :(

oh wait do i call ref_levelup in the inner one too

[frosty rampart]

yes

local ref_levelup = level_up_hand
function level_up_hand(card, hand, instant, amount, ...)
   if next(SMODS.find_card("j_nflame_genplanet")) and hand ~= "nflame_generic" then
      ref_levelup(card, "nflame_generic", instant, amount, ...)
   end
   return ref_levelup(card, hand, instant, amount, ...)
end

also pass amount instead of 1, unless that was intentional

[loud summit]

hmm... trying to thinnk if that would be balanced lol

[frosty rampart]

what's the mechanic here exactly

[harsh belfry]

also if you want it to absorb the level up (ie not level up the original hand) then you would return in that if statement

[frosty rampart]

oh right forgot the return

[loud summit]

basically im making a joker that makes every hand score as this generic hand, and all levelups also level this generic hand

[harsh belfry]

local ref_levelup = level_up_hand
function level_up_hand(card, hand, instant, amount, ...)
   if next(SMODS.find_card("j_nflame_genplanet")) and hand ~= "nflame_generic" then
      ref_levelup(card, "nflame_generic", instant, amount, ...)
      return ref_levelup(card, hand, true, amount, ...)
   end
   return ref_levelup(card, hand, instant, amount, ...)
end

heres what you would do if you wanted it to level both but not show the original level up (if instant is what i think it is)

[loud summit]

ohh thats what instant means

yea i probably want that

[frosty rampart]

ah ok
intuitively i'd say let the amount pass through, especially since i don't think there's any vanilla content that does more than 1 level up at a time. balance wise i'd only cap it if there's an easy way to level up a hand by multiple levels at once in your mod

[loud summit]

i havent made something like that

yet

ok its still erroring

indexing nil with key level

[vocal helm]

figured out a neat effect but would still appreciate help on this given I'd want to be applying this shader to the card itself rather than re-drawing it with a shader on top (breaks with editions b/c it's checking for pure white)

the effect I'd like to do in quesiton: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/msySzK

[mild bronze]

Justymakeit wigly

[vocal helm]

last time i tried this happened

is this a case of adding a DrawStep

if editions can disable_base_shader, can Jokers do that too

[loud summit]

help

[quick prairie]

so i managed to get the mod to not crash, but the jokers and tarots i made dont appear in collections. is there perhaps a common reason why?

[hidden mirage]

how to juice up the deck

yeah okay thanks

[plucky berry]

how do you set your mod icon?

[hidden oak]

What does this mean

[plucky berry]

tnx!

im also having trouble implementing emult even if i have talisman on

tried making a bloodstone like joker and it works if i put x_chips but it doesn't trigger with Emult

[sterile lotus]

I'm tryin' to check before scoring a hand if the played cards are hearts. I'm trying it on a for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) block. Does anyone know how can I access to the suit property, and compare it to the Hearts value? quq

[daring fern]

if context.before then
    local passed = true
    for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
        if not v:is_suit("Hearts") then
            passed = false
            break
        end
    end
    if passed then
        -- code
    end
end

[sterile lotus]

Thanks!

[shell timber]

oh this is neat. so it shows how the lovely patches apply?

[gaunt thistle]

yeah, that's the goal

[shell timber]

egui makes it crossplatform right

[gaunt thistle]

yep!

really easy to make crossplatform

[meager quiver]

iterate over the table with a for loop? ez

oops didnt realize that was old

i was behind on a ton of messages

[meager quiver]

but fr tho thats a rlly simple programming concept, if u cant use a table, only single instance, then do a for loop that iterates through every single instance of that table and adds it one by one

[hardy viper]

are failed patches gonna be in there or no

[long sun]

is there a way to specify that a draw step shouldn't be overridden by Holographic / Polychrome / Negative?

my Jokers with extras lose their extras if they're any of those

[hardy viper]

does it just not run at all if there's an edition?

[long sun]

it at least doesn't appear

lemme grab an example

[manic rune]

is it possible to make cards transparent

[long sun]

regular

[vale grove]

SMODS.Back({
    key = "Wordle",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Monkey with a typewriter",
        text = { "Play the daily wordle",
            "with the first letter",
            "of your jokers",
            "All your jokers retrigger"
        },
    },
    config = {},
    pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
    atlas = "Jokers",
    unlocked = true,

        local joker = G.jokers.cards[i]
        
        if #G.YA_wordleword:sub(i, i) ~= localize({type = 'name_text', set = joker.ability.set, key = joker.config.center.key}):sub(1, 1) then passed = false end
        
    end
    if passed then
        return {repetitions = 1}

hey yall, im trying to make a deck where you have to play wordle with the first letter of your jokers, now theres alot of things wrong with this but currently im trying to get the right colour sceme down
(for those who dont know,if a letter isnt in the wordle its gray
if the letter is in the wordle but not in the right space its orange
and if the letter is in the wordle and on the right space its green

[long sun]

busted

[vale grove]

now currently im just trying to change the colour in general which is also giving me a hard time

[daring fern]

Code?

[manic rune]

:3 how do i do it then

[vale grove]

doesnt joker stencil do that?

[manic rune]

wuh

[long sun]

what do you need the transparency for?

[manic rune]

not really, the joker's sprite has a gap in the middle

i want to have the joker fade away

[long sun]

ah

you'd probably either need to make an animation, or a shader

[vale grove]

do you want it to be like an animation?

[manic rune]

it has to be for all jokers, too

[manic rune]

so like, this is what im doing rn

i want to make this ui fade away after about 2 seconds or so

[long sun]

right, deffo a shader then

[manic rune]

dang it

3:

yeah thanks, im gonna opt for my alternative which is to pull the ui back to the right then lmao

[long sun]

i mean, you could prolly get away with making it move back to t- yeah :}

[manic rune]

it would be hard to sync the shader with the transparency of the ui box otherwise

-# not me making up excuses since i dont know SHIT about shaders :3

[long sun]

-# BASED and TRUE and COMMON thought

-# SHADERS are AWFUL

[daring fern]

You're drawing the sprite under the edition.

[manic rune]

-# so true

[long sun]

...yeah

wait, so how are the editions rendered then?

does the edition affect the extra if it's rendered before it?

[daring fern]

Yes, because the edition is being drawn on the center.

[long sun]

oh i see

do i have to add edition logic to the extra?

[daring fern]

Yes, and you have to draw it after the edition.

[long sun]

grand, thanks ^^

[long sun]

is the sheet transparent?

it must be for the enhancements to show underneath

[latent river]

yes

[long sun]

can i see the sheet?

[latent river]

hold on

[gaunt thistle]

havent decided or really thought about them

[long sun]

your sheets are not transparent

[latent river]

ah mb

[long sun]

allg ^u^

explodes

code

[vocal helm]

i wonder how @/thewintercomet does it, would mention her but idk if that'd be unwarranted

mods get its ass

<@&1133519078540185692>

thank you :>

[daring fern]

No, you should do the edition in the one where you're drawing it.

[long sun]

Ohhhh I see

Will try that when I get home

[thorn basin]

how can I make by boss blind trigger the effect after all the cards and jokers triggered?
(like crimson heart does)
((cuz rn my boss blin's effect triggers after you chose the playing cards))

[daring fern]

You mean when you play the hand?

[thorn basin]

yeah

[daring fern]

Put it in an event.

[thorn basin]

both functions or one of them?

[daring fern]

The one that is not returning.

[thorn basin]

okay so, I'm not sure but should the trigger have a different condition than "after"?

[daring fern]

Yes, remove it.

[thorn basin]

aight

[thorn basin]

okay, it works now, thanks!

[wispy falcon]

Which of these is for what things?

button.nodes[1].nodes[1].config.ref_table = G.GAME
button.config.button = nil
button.config.func = nil```

[red flower]

that just seems to clear out some values for a button, for the specifics you would need to provide more context

[ashen drift]

where can i check if a run is seeded or not

[red flower]

for what each value means heres a guide https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/UI-Guide

[queen meadow]

is there an evaluation for when a card is discarded in JokerDisplay?

[red flower]

no, what are you trying to do

[red flower]

jokerdisplay is not meant to run calculations like that

save it in the joker and then display that value

i.e. the one in loc_vars

[queen meadow]

dang aight i'll do it like ramen instead

(displaying just the xmult)

[red flower]

i don't understand what other than displaying the xmult is there

[wispy falcon]

What do I change in the hook to make it draw a card when it is clicked?

[dusty fractal]

How would I grab a specific element from the hand in relation to a scored card?

I’m trying to just make a list of all the scored cards and go one down the list

But I’m struggling to access my card itself to check

[queen meadow]

actually i guess this could also work

[hallow slate]

How would I change the SMODS src/ui lua file?

[manic rune]

so like, patching right

gimme a sec

[manic rune]

'=[SMODS _ "src/ui.lua"]'

put this in the target

[hallow slate]

Excellent, thanks!

[wispy falcon]

bump

[thorn basin]

why my joker doesn't seem to activate for unscored cards?

[frosty rampart]

not context.scoring_hand isn't how you check if a card is unscored

[thorn basin]

what is the context for checking if a card is scored?

[frosty rampart]

there isn't a dedicated context
you just have to check if context.other_card is contained in context.scoring_hand or not

[thorn basin]

I'm kinda confused...

[frosty rampart]

context.scoring_hand is a table of cards

[slim ferry]

context.individual doesnt get called for unscoring cards anyway, you should be using context.destroy_cards for this

[frosty rampart]

oh right

[wispy falcon]

bump2

[thorn basin]

like this?

[slim ferry]

yeah

and then you just need to do a for loop over context.scoring_hand to check if the card was scoring or not

[frosty rampart]

i think destroy_cards actually has a special "unscored" cardarea

might be an optional feature

[slim ferry]

yeah

except the optional feature enables the unscored area for like everything

[thorn basin]

so like for i, k in ipairs(not context.scoring_hand)

[slim ferry]

...no

[thorn basin]

no wait

[slim ferry]

thats not how not works

[thorn basin]

without the "not"

[slim ferry]

yeah

[thorn basin]

it still doesn't work, am I missing something?

[slim ferry]

you use the for loop to check if the card isnt scoring

not

whatever that is

[thorn basin]

but how can I check if the card isn't scoring?

[slim ferry]

local unscoring = true
for _, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
  if v == context.other_card then
    unscoring = false
    break
  end
end

[thorn basin]

so you use a local variable to determine if the card is unscored

[red flower]

its not optional

[slim ferry]

huh

[red flower]

it was for like a version a year ago

[slim ferry]

wtf

[slim ferry]

okay nvm

you can just do context.cardarea == "unscored" apparently

i think thats the correct thing

[thorn basin]

oh so

[red flower]

also SMODS.in_scoring exists

[slim ferry]

wha

damn

[red flower]

although it is literally just that same loop

[thorn basin]

ah so like this then

[red flower]

destroy_card*

also other_card doesnt exist in it

[thorn basin]

oh true

gotta remove it

[thorn basin]

does context.individual work if added to the if condition?

[modest cradle]

Okay hear me out

Joker that says it will give x10000 mult

But

When the next hand is played it turns into a ditto that does nothing

[thorn basin]

((i don't think this is the best channel to ask that))

[unkempt bronze]

And hear me out
Joker that changes the background music
How do I code such a thing?

[red flower]

alongside destroy_card? no

theres no much documentation on all the info but the stuff you want is listed here https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#variables

you can also print a cards info with debugplus

[prisma cape]

i have debugplus, how do i do that?

also thanks, i'll take a look

ok i thought different types of consumables had their own prefixes i was doing "t_wheel_of_fortune"

okay working :)

is there a way to get rid of the extra edition ones

i should remove this probably

[tepid crow]

the table is a tad outdated

yeah because my mod is not listed 🤓

yeah i'm js gonna stop

[long sun]

okay i tried moving the edition inside the extra drawstep, but no dice

[wispy falcon]

[long sun]

i think both buttons have a one_press attribute, or so-named

[wispy falcon]

How do I change that?

[long sun]

you could set it to nil

though i'd inspect the table first to find what that attribute is actually called

[wispy falcon]

How do I do that?

[long sun]

add print(inspect(button))

[wispy falcon]

Yeah, it's called one_press

Thank you >W<

[long sun]

yay!! np :D i hope it works!

[prisma cape]

how do i sell a card?

there should be a wee button that does that <3

/silly /i can check

okay try:
G.FUNCS.sell_card({ config = { ref_table = card_you_want_to_sell } })

unless smods has a handier way

[prisma cape]

if there is i can't find it

[wispy falcon]

[topaz berry]

I'm wanting to make a joker that does something if the current number of scored chips is equal to a number. Is there a way to check for the current number of scored chips in context.after?

[frosty rampart]

SMODS.calculate_round_score()

[topaz berry]

thank you

[hallow slate]

Is there a way to get the mult and chips HUD to show negative numbers?

[red flower]

it should be currentCard:use_consumeable()

also SMODS.find_card is always truthy

[topaz berry]

this returns the whole score, is it possible to see just the current total chips?

[red flower]

you want next(SMODS.find_card(...))

and it will crash if it has no edition because newJoker.edition will be nil

[prisma cape]

thank you, i'll add in some checks

[red flower]

and G.jokers is not a list

G.jokers.cards is, and i don't think ipairs works like that

[frosty rampart]

SMODS.get_scoring_parameter("chips") i think
or just the variable hand_chips, but i like the get_scoring_parameter call more

[topaz berry]

Thank you

[prisma cape]

i used ipairs because of this soo idk. first time making a mod ever https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-if-the-player-has-a-certain-card

[plucky berry]

guys can someone help me fix my modded joker? it's supposed to be like bloodstone but with ^mult, (i have talisman on and i edited the code from bloodstone in vanilla remade) but the ^mult never triggers, even if i make it full odds

i can send the code if needed

[slim ferry]

yeah definitely send the code people cant help you without code

[plucky berry]

    key = "sodalite",
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    atlas = "jokers",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 8,
    pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
    config = { extra = { odds = 3, Emult = 1.1 } },

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'napoli_sodalite')
        return { vars = { numerator, denominator, card.ability.extra.Emult } }

        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card.base and context.other_card.base.suit == "napoli_spade" and
            SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'napoli_sodalite', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
            return {
                Emult = card.ability.extra.Emult
            }
        end
    end
}```

napoli_spade is my custom suit

[slim ferry]

i dont think the e in emult should be capitalized

for the return

[plucky berry]

if I use any other talisman scoring effect like x_chips it works

[slim ferry]

i mean xchips isnt from talisman

thats just an smods thing

[plucky berry]

i tried using emult instaed of Emult too

[slim ferry]

also

you should do context.other_card:is_suit("napoli_spade") instead

[wispy falcon]

bump4

[plucky berry]

i will try but i think using is_suit crashed me already

[slim ferry]

if is_suit is crashing you then youre definitely doing something else wrong

it has no reason not to work

[hallow slate]

Is there any way to add a feature for showing negative mult?

[slim ferry]

are you actually using the correct suit key?

[plucky berry]

ok it's not crashing but still no triggers

[slim ferry]

what does the code look like now

and also the code for your suit

[plucky berry]

suit key is right

    key = "sodalite",
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    atlas = "jokers",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 8,
    pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
    config = { extra = { odds = 3, emult = 1.1 } },

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'napoli_sodalite')
        return { vars = { numerator, denominator, card.ability.extra.emult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card.base and context.other_card:is_suit("napoli_spade") and
            SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'napoli_sodalite', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
            return {
                emult = card.ability.extra.emult
            }
        end
    end
}```

[slim ferry]

does your mod prefix also have the exact same capitalization as in here

[plucky berry]

yes, otherwise everything else wouldn't work

[slim ferry]

yeah true

[plucky berry]

i could implement my own exponential mult i guess but i wouldn't know how to

could it maybe be an issue of mod priority?

[slim ferry]

shouldnt be

as long as the emult stuff is loaded at all it should work

[plucky berry]

well idk how to troubleshoot this

[slim ferry]

try removing the check for context.other_card.base i guess? i doubt thats the issue but not like its needed anyway

[plucky berry]

still nothing

[hidden oak]

does anyone know how i can cause a joker to disable scoring for a hand?

similarly to a boss blind

[wispy falcon]

bump6

[quick prairie]

does anyone have an example or can help with how to make a custom enhancement increment mult each time the same enhancement is scored? but reseting after the hand plays

[red flower]

context.debuff_hand

check vanillaremade blinds

(you can use it on jokers)

[hidden oak]

oh awesome

i was looking at blinds but i assumed all that stuff was exclusive to them

[wispy falcon]

bump7 TwT

[red flower]

all the calculate stuff you can use anywhere

[hallow slate]

Is there a list of align codes

for text alignment and stuff

[frosty rampart]

in the uhh UI guide page on the SMODS wiki

[split cairn]

how can I make consumable destroy a specific joker when the consumable is used? what do i put in the "use" section of the code?

[lavish elm]

I have a joker that applies enhancements but the problem is that
the enhancements don't take effect after being applied
current condition:
if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and not context.blueprint_card then

[wispy falcon]

bump8...

[split cairn]

apply the enhancement using context.before

[lavish elm]

tried it but it just completely stops working

[frosty rampart]

check midas mask vanillaremade

context.individual is run for each scored card individually, whereas context.before just runs once

[split cairn]

        and context.main_eval 
        and not context.blueprint 
        then```

how can i destroy a specific joker by using a consumable?

[lavish elm]

ok thx

[slim ferry]

main_eval changes literally nothing

[frosty rampart]

specific as in a specific position (i.e. "destroy the leftmost joker"), or a specific card (i.e. "destroy green joker"?)

[split cairn]

specific card

[frosty rampart]

SMODS.destroy_cards(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_jokerkey")) will destroy all copies of the joker, if the player has any (replace modprefix with the relevant mod's prefix (you don't need one if it's a vanilla joker), and replace jokerkey with the key of the relevant joker)

and if you only want the consumable to be usable if the joker in question exists, do this for the can_use function: return next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_jokerkey"))

[split cairn]

thank you! it worked

[hidden oak]

this checks to see if the hand activates the boss blind, right? does it also allow a joker to act as a boss blind itself?

in the way that it could set debuff_hand to true

[red flower]

no that's a different context with a similar name

this one is for disallowing a hand

[hidden oak]

oh ok

so then i would set the hand to be debuffed with

debuff_hand = not 'ph_most_played'
``` ?

or wait actually would it be G.GAME.current_round.most_played_poker_hand

[prisma cape]

whats the best way to register a keybind? I want a specific function to start and stop on a key press

[frosty rampart]

SMODS.KeyBind
it's not really documented, but this example built into smods binds "Alt + F5" to restarting the game

[red flower]

no

did you read the code for how the blinds do it

[wispy falcon]

bump9 #💻・modding-dev message

[austere oasis]

can someone help me with this? dont mind the mods though i was trying to make something

[slim ferry]

thats only updated at the start of each ante since its used for the ox, use this instead https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-the-most-played-hand

[hidden oak]

i did, but i dont think i understand enough to implement it into the joker's code

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            local _handname, _played = 'High Card', -1
            for hand_key, hand in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
                if hand.played > _played then
                    _played = hand.played
                    _handname = hand_key
                end
            end
            local most_played = _handname
            if most_played == context.scoring_name then
                return {
                    message = "Step it, Buddy!",
                    Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult}
            end
            if most_played ~= context.scoring_name then
                if context.debuff_card then
                    return {debuff = true,
                    message = "Tch, pathetic."}
                end
            end
        end

I took code from the pillar and removed the part that checked if a card was already played this ante, i cant seem to get it to trigger at all

[red flower]

well first i said debuff_hand not debuff_card

but joker_main and debuff_card cant be combined

(or debuff_hand)

you need to use them in separate if conditions

[hidden oak]

Oh, alright

[hidden oak]

my bad

Thank you for your help, it finally works!
The only issue i'm having is it says the message any time you select cards that are the wrong hand instead of when you submit the hand, but I think i can figure out how to fix it

[red flower]

i think it's not context.check

or something like that

[hidden oak]

yeah that worked 👍

[prisma cape]

'''SMODS.Keybind {
key_pressed = 'f5',
event = 'pressed',
action = function(self)
start_or_end_loop()
end
}'''

any idea why this is causing me issues?

also mb formatting problems

nil value error

but idk why because my settings.json is fine

[red flower]

what's the crash log

[prisma cape]

this is just in the debugger

"attempted to index a nil value (global 'SMODS')"

using vscode

[red flower]

oh the vscode debugger?

[prisma cape]

yes

[red flower]

it can't run balatro code

[prisma cape]

but i have the lua debug extension installed

[red flower]

you run all the code in game

[prisma cape]

assuming there isn't a debugger mod for balatro?

[red flower]

no

[prisma cape]

nvm the error log is pretty comprehensive

[red flower]

there are mods that help debug like debugplus and balatest

[static valley]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if (context.post_trigger and context.other_card == card)
        or (context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play)  
        then
            card.edition.extra.money = card.edition.extra.money + card.edition.extra.money_gain
            return {
                message = "+" .. card.edition.extra.money_gain,
                colour = G.C.MONEY
            }
        end
        if context.end_of_round and card.edition.extra.money >= 1 then
            return {
                p_dollars = card.edition.extra.money,
                message = "reset",
                colour = G.C.FILTER,
                func = function()
                    card.edition.extra.money = 0
                end
            }
        end
    end

this works when a card with the edition scores, but not when a joker is triggered. how do I fix this problem?

[prisma cape]

anyway still getting a nil value error in game, this function isn't working: function use_card(currentCard) currentCard:use_consumeable() end

here's how i'm getting currentCard: use_card(SMODS.find_card("c_judgement"))

[red flower]

what's the effect of the card

[red flower]

that's a list, you need to get the element

[static valley]

it will gain $1 every time the card is triggered, and then give it all out at the end of the round

(obviously the amount of money stored resets afterward)

[red flower]

other_card == card means when itself is triggered

[static valley]

is that why it's not doing anything for jokers?

[red flower]

what is this? a joker? an enhancement?

[red flower]

most likely

[static valley]

an enhancement

[red flower]

yeah that's always false then

[static valley]

after removing that part it still does nothing

[red flower]

did you enable the optional feature

idk if enhancements get post_trigger honestly

[static valley]

the what

[frosty rampart]

can confirm it's only for jokers, i've been working on something similar that needs post_trigger for enhancements

maybe i'll PR it if i'm happy with how it comes out

[red flower]

I'm talking about things that receive post_trigger. I'm pretty sure decks do

[frosty rampart]

ohh

[red flower]

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

[static valley]

so I guess I replace "current_mod" with my mod's id?

[red flower]

no

it needs to be exactly that

[mossy quest]

    SMODS.Joker:take_ownership( v ,
        { -- table of properties to change from the existing object
        discovered = false
        },
        true -- silent | suppresses mod badge
    )
end```
This was working last time I played Balatro, but now it's broken

[ocean sinew]

for i,v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
if v.set == "Joker" then

end
end

[unkempt bronze]

So I have a ton of joker images. Do I put them together in like... Illustrator or whatever and link to that png for the joker images or link to each separately

[mossy quest]

like this?

    if v.set == "Joker" then
        SMODS.Joker:take_ownership( v ,
            {
            discovered = false
            },
            true
        )
    end
end```

[ocean sinew]

yes I think

[mossy quest]

nah, that gives me a different crash

[prisma cape]

am i misunderstanding what G.jokers.cards does? when i do this: newJoker = G.jokers.cards[-1] i get an "attempted to index a nil value" error, surely it should just give the rightmost joker?

[mossy quest]

also looks like G.P_CENTERS only pulls the vanilla jokers

[prisma cape]

last() also did not help me

[hasty mist]

hi coming back to balatro modding after a hiatus is there documentation yet for global operator stuff

[sturdy compass]

holy moley you're alive

[hasty mist]

yep

[sturdy compass]

operator stuff can be found on this page. Look for SMODS.Scoring_Parameter https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/discussions/919

[broken rivet]

does SMODS.find_card() work for non-jokers? it looks like it shouldn't looking at the source code and i'm annoyed by the amount of find_joker() calls in cryptid

[lament agate]

riley is alive

huzzah!

[sturdy compass]

I think your assumption is correct

[broken rivet]

god

[hasty mist]

gotcha ty

[broken rivet]

time to make Cryptid.find_consumable() to replace these then

[sturdy compass]

😭

[broken rivet]

i had to commit too many modding sins today

• find_joker
• Emult_mod

[hasty mist]

i am honestly considering fully rewriting my mod

[sturdy compass]

[sturdy compass]

the voices...

[broken rivet]

[lament agate]

you missed 3 new releases of smods

[hasty mist]

i cant look at this code without getting physically sick

and also everything is broken as fuck

[sturdy compass]

Sounds like a rewrite is worth

[broken rivet]

how i feel looking at my old figura avatar code
but that thing has like multiple months of effort put into it and a full rewrite is scary

[hasty mist]

yeah

astronomica rewrite will take weeks probably

but this whole mod is held together with tape and string so

its probably necessary

[broken rivet]

yea

[lament agate]

please fix astronomica

i love that mod

[dusty fractal]

does the print() function print into the console as in the log itself

[lament agate]

🙏

[hasty mist]

im trying 😭

[dusty fractal]

or where does it print

[hasty mist]

wish i had like a team or something

[sturdy compass]

Both console and game log

[dusty fractal]

ahhh kk

[hasty mist]

i dont have the passion i used to

[sturdy compass]

Assuming you have DebugPlus obv

[dusty fractal]

yea

[sturdy compass]

:(

[dusty fractal]

whats the button for debugplus again?

[sturdy compass]

Should be / to open game console

[lament agate]

you could find some

[dusty fractal]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.after and context.cardarea == G.play then
            print("Hello")
            my_cards = {}

[lament agate]

i think

😭

[dusty fractal]

cus im doing this as the start of my calculate function

and its not printing anyhting into the console

which is confusing me

[feral tree]

need help, this is turning cards that have an enhancement into gold even though i dont want it to

[sturdy compass]

Pretty sure G.play is empty during after?

Not sure tho

[dusty fractal]

that checks out

[feral tree]

so how would i fix it?

[dusty fractal]

not sure why that'd interfere with just printing to console though

[sturdy compass]

wrap SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card) in a next() This is wrong, has_enhancement checks for a specific, specified one as a second argument. What you wanna check for is if not next(SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card)) then

[sturdy compass]

My guess is context.after also never runs through G.play to begin with

[dusty fractal]

i tried doing it here, as well

and it just doesnt print anything

[frosty rampart]

calculate functions wiki page does seem to indicate context.after gets G.play as a cardarea

[dusty fractal]

yea

[sturdy compass]

nevermind then

hrm

[prisma cape]

how do i go about getting a function to use a specific consumable held? like using c_emperor as an example

[jolly shadow]

like, as in trigger the consumable? or just check if you have it?

if it's the 2nd one, just use SMODS.find_card(key)

[prisma cape]

trigger the consumable, checking i can do but i'm struggling to actually assign the specific consumable to a variable so i can call G.FUNCS.use_card()

    G.FUNCS.use_card({ config = { ref_table = selectedCard } })``` this doesn't seem to work

[humble pawn]

Is there a way to hide this?

[solemn shuttle]

am i missing smth with uh
checking the flame fx/score req

cuz i check G.ARGS.score_intensity.flames and am just getting 0 ,,

unless im not checking the right thing

-# to be precise im using it for effects involving beating a blind with one hand or Not doing so

[frosty rampart]

you don't need to check that, they added a variable in 0827

[solemn shuttle]

oh wait 👀

ty lol

[frosty rampart]

if you specifically want to check if the player beat the blind in one hand, check for this + if it's currently the first played hand

[solemn shuttle]

i just was wanting Flame fx in general but noted...

ty :3

[frosty rampart]

np :3

[granite jay]

Hey guys, where do I find all of the tags in the context?

I'm trying to find context.jokers_destroyed

Or make the card trigger when you destroy any joker.

(The card itself cannot destroy jokers, but it triggers when jokers are destroyed via means such as ceremonial dagger)

[sturdy compass]

You want context.joker_type_destroyed

[faint yacht]

And context.card to check the destroyed card still.

[hidden oak]

Sorry for asking so many questions, but i'm trying to make a joker that turns played kings and jacks into queens, i took some of midas mask and ouija's code but it's activating all face cards, not just ones that scored

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and not context.blueprint then
            local faces = 0
            for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if scored_card:is_face() then
                    faces = faces + 1
                    local _rank = 'Q'
                    for i=1, #context.scoring.hand do
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
                        local card = context.scoring.hand[i]
                        local suit_prefix = string.sub(card.base.suit, 1, 1)..'_'
                        local rank_suffix = _rank
                       card:set_base(G.P_CARDS[suit_prefix..rank_suffix])
                   return true end }))
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            scored_card:juice_up()
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end
            end

this is probably really bad code but here's what i have

[quartz pendant]

what's the actual difference between nesting two layers of G.E_MANAGER:add_event and just using one?

[hidden oak]

🤷‍♂️

[granite jay]

Is this an estrogen card?

[granite jay]

so use and context.card.joker?

[faint yacht]

context.card.ability.set == 'Joker'

[granite jay]

gotcha, imma try that

[hidden oak]

ok i was wrong it's actually changing ALL played cards instead of just scored face cards

[granite jay]

For some reason it's not triggering when any cards are destroyed

whether that be hanged man or ceremonial dagger

[faint yacht]

(context.remove_playing_cards and context.cards[1]) or (context.joker_type_destroyed and context.card)?

[granite jay]

Latter worked tysm

[unkempt bronze]

  local xiferp_spade_change = psuedorandom_element(G.hand.cards, xiferp_astro_card)
  set xiferp_spade_change to suit_conv //priorly set to spade
end```

How make this actual code?

[frosty rampart]

to be clear, you want to pick a random card held in hand and change its suit to spade?

[unkempt bronze]

yeah, and the end of each round

[frosty rampart]

look at any of the suit-changing tarot cards in vanillaremade

there's some event coding involved to get the nice visuals where the card flips around

[unkempt bronze]

(when I asked Astro what they wanted their card wanted to do in my mod, they said just that)

[unkempt bronze]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "astro_card",
    blueprint_compat = false,
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 7,
    pos = { x = ?, y = ? },
    config = { extra = { suit_conv = Spades } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round then
            local xiferp_spade_change = pseudorandom_element(G.hand.cards, xiferp_astro_card)
            return { vars = { card.ability.xiferp_spade_change, localize(card.ability.suit_conv, 'suits_plural'), colours = { G.C.SUITS[card.ability.suit_conv] } } }
        end,
    end
    
}```

How's this?

(most of the crucial code is cribbed from The World)

[frosty rampart]

https://tryitands.ee

[unkempt bronze]

Alright, fine. Lemme set-up my other jokers first...

[sturdy compass]

I am saving this

[unkempt bronze]

        if context.scoring_hand[1] not context.blueprint then
        if local eval = function() not G.RESET_JIGGLES then
            juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
        end```

i hate shaders they just dont make sense to me how is it a re-occurring issue where i'll have a shader that works perfectly fine for ME but crashes for anyone else

[keen tiger]

hey whats the common way to spawn in jokers/cards/etc.
im trying debugplus's keybindings but its not working

[hidden oak]

Debug

Open conf.lua and change release to false

[keen tiger]

in DebugPlus or Balatro?

[hidden oak]

Balatro.exe

[plain apex]

debug plus should work what exactly are you pressing?

[keen tiger]

ah thanks

also ctrl+3

nothing works

also: is there a way to mass-spawn like all 150 vanilla jokers (its kind of important for what im testing)

[plain apex]

my only solution i've found to this shit is literally just entirely different (usually much worse shaders)

[daring fern]

Did you save the file?

[unkempt bronze]

yes. always do!

[plain apex]

but shockwaved honestly looks sick i dont want to use the entirely different much worse looking shader (left) when a cool shader (right) exists :/

[unkempt bronze]

think i got it now

nope.

Everything is ready, except the literal last piece.

[plain apex]

does anyone here understand shaders at all to tell me wtf is wrong with this?

[unkempt bronze]

code. Where problem?

Okay, the game's just angry.

It wants } at line 88, I give it } at line 88, it still wants } at line 88

top is message, bottom is code

[frosty rampart]

why is that your mod's id

[unkempt bronze]

BFDI.

The id could be anything, I just chose that

[frosty rampart]

anyway you have one too many ends at the very end of the astro_card joker

[unkempt bronze]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "top_to_bottom",
    blueprint_compat = false,
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 7,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 1 },

    local xiferp_top_to_bottom = SMODS.wrap_around_straight
    function SMODS.wrap_around_straight()
    if next(SMODS.find_card("j_xiferp_top_to_bottom")) then
        return true
    end
    return xiferp_top_to_bottom()
end```

Where is the "unexpected symbol near local"?

[frosty rampart]

what

no don't put the hook in the joker definition, you had it right before (albeit with weird indenting)

[frosty rampart]

i literally gave you the answer to the original problem

[ebon shell]

can seals not return stuff like chips and mult in their calculate function? I keep getting this crash

[daring fern]

No, they can.

[unkempt bronze]

What is mode r?

why can't it read it?

[ebon shell]

how can I do that? even something as simple as this is causing the crash

[daring fern]

No, you need a context check.

[ebon shell]

I tried context.individual, context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play, context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_seal("customseal") but none worked. what's a context check that works for when a card with a seal is scored?

[daring fern]

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

[ebon shell]

that worked, thanks!

[lavish elm]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            local reps = math.random(card.ability.extra.min_rep, card.ability.extra.max_rep)
            print(reps)
            return{
                repetitions = reps,
                message = "Again!"
            }
        end

why does it only retrigger once?

[daring fern]

It's context.repetition not context.individual

[lavish elm]

ok thx

how to make a joker take no space?

[lavish elm]

nvm figured it out

[hearty crane]

slap negative on it or make it give 1 additional slot

[daring heron]

does anyone know how much smaller specifically wee joker is?
