[red flower]

remove the key line in loc_vars

[unkempt bronze]

it's pseudocode, to be filled in by actual code later on

[red flower]

it's good but pretty limited

[red flower]

well yeah

[unkempt bronze]

Like, the joker has a button. You click on it, and it makes a booster pack with the joker it's selling inside

That opens after the Small Blind shop right before the Big Blind

I chose to make it a tag for ease of implementation

[unkempt bronze]

that's the loose way I'll work the "buying joker" part

[hazy cosmos]

Ok nice, I figured I would try it out as a kinda starting point for me, since I'm VERY inexperienced with lua, but understand the basics of general coding

[real crown]

Thank you so much, that fixed it!
A similar issue, when I open the booster, it says "ERROR Choose 1" at the bottom, am I missing a field?

[minor magnet]

how the hell do you do ui

going insane

[haughty cargo]

you find something you like and just trial and error it into what you want it to look like,

I want to be able to inspect the tables for the jokers so I can find where the joker info is, such as the xmult so it can be returned by my mod

it limits me to 5

[slim ferry]

Use ctrl c instead of 3 for spawning that goes over the limit

Or just do like eval G.jokers:change_size(100) or smth idfk

[haughty cargo]

oh yeah forgot I could eval stuff

[red flower]

it doesn't really help to jump into lua sadly, the code is abstracted and the generation is not very readable

[red flower]

yes, there should be an extra one in loc_txt but i dont remember what it was rn

[lusty eagle]

So, I’m doing another themed jokers like last time with Cynthoni’s Lvstlove, but now I wanna do it with their EP, SMOKE IT TO THE BUTT

“+15 Mult for the next 10 rounds” or something like that

Aaand I need to figure that out… shit

[analog spoke]

how would I make a joker which added a specific booster to each shop?
like, a mega arcana pack or something?

I think all I need to know here is the context and the actual function to add the booster in dsfsbndfs

[maiden phoenix]

context.starting_shop and SMODS.add_booster_to_shop(key)

[analog spoke]

thank you <3
will come back with how it works out dsfnskdfn

[hazy cosmos]

oooh

[analog spoke]

sighhhh I suppose a crash this simple is what I get for not modding this for a half a year lmao bfjsbdj

any ideas? I'm lost 😭 been gone too long I guess

[maiden phoenix]

Your function parameter has to be a string

Also pseudorandom stuff is done a little differently nowadays

[analog spoke]

oh 😭 well, uhm, I don't have the new smods yet so... hopefully that's fine?... I should really update that lol sdfnjksdnfksd

[maiden phoenix]

If you got latest release it should be enough

Have an example with Cavendish from VanillaRemade, it uses the new pseudorandom stuff https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/24ee6098f692a58a34d573dec5a86a347c5fd13a/src/jokers.lua#L1613

[analog spoke]

hmmm, ok, I'll try switching it up real quick I guess dsnfjk

[analog spoke]

would not abiding here be what causes the crash though?
cuz I just realized another thing in my mod here uses odds and was fine, also the other thing being changed didn't fix the crash sadly 🥲

[maiden phoenix]

Right, this should be card.ability.extra.odds

[analog spoke]

ahhh ok

the thing I copied from must've made the var for arch but I never copied that part over lol sdfnjksdnfjk

thank you, I'll try this!

[maiden phoenix]

Actually again it's different due to the new SMODS proba stuff, check Cavendish again and its loc_vars function

[quick prairie]

is it just allow_duplicates = false, to make sure more than one of the jokers cant normally spawn unless you have showman?

[maiden phoenix]

Yes, but it should be false by default iirc, not sure

[quick prairie]

im not sure either because i had several copies pop in anyway, so i assume it's necessary

[maiden phoenix]

Ah, then yes, it's for a pool right?

[analog spoke]

so, it no longer crashes on loading the thing, however, new problem, the key I put for the pack doesn't seem to be right lol, that's what the error's reading like to me anyway

[maiden phoenix]

Right it should be p_arcana_mega_1 or 2 sorry

[analog spoke]

ahhh thank you

[red flower]

how are you testing it

[quick prairie]

i gave myself 1 million dollars and rolled 80 times to see if a second one spawned in

[red flower]

how did you spawn it in the first place

[quick prairie]

ah see i thought that might also be the issue, but then when the third one popped up i figured something must be wierd. (as in i just grabbed it from collection the first time)

[granite jay]

if context.card and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'spotscast', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
                local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, context.card, context)
                if ret then
                    ret.colour = G.C.RED
                end
                return ret
            end
        end

Ok so about the joker that copies every joker, I decided that it would be better to give it a 1 in 2 chance to copy a joker when they trigger.

but it no work, any ideas?

[red flower]

i think if you did it with debugplus the cards don't get put in the used jokers even if you get another copy

else then the other only explanation is that you're making an consumable type or object type or rarity wrong

and getting the default

[red flower]

i dont understand what the first if condition is doing

also that will just copy one joker

[quick prairie]

this is good to know, it means i dont have to change every single one of my jokers

i hope

[red flower]

i mean if that's not the case then something else is wrong because that's how it should work

[granite jay]

It's meant to make the card trigger when a joker triggers

[red flower]

that's not how blueprint effects work

[granite jay]

This isn't like blueprint.

[red flower]

also it would still be wrong because it's context.post_trigger

[granite jay]

It works like Seltzer but for jokers.

And it copies the joker's effect instead of triggering it again

[red flower]

If you're using SMODS.blueprint_effect then it's a blueprint-like effect

if you want to retrigger use the retrigger api

[granite jay]

Yeah I want to use the blueprint effect, not retrigger api

[red flower]

Ok, then that's not how blueprint works

even if your particular effect is different the mechanics of it are the same

it needs to check all contexts and you need to combine all the joker's effects in one return table if you want to copy multiple jokers per context

[granite jay]

I'm not trying to remake Blueprint???

Ah ok

[red flower]

read please

[granite jay]

Fair

[red flower]

I recommend searching SMODS.merge_effects on github

some mods have similar things

[pseudo sun]

can someone help me with making an edition shader? Im trying to make a "Enchantment" shader (basically the Minecraft enchantment glint) for the enchantment edition for my mod. But im not sure how to work with .fs

smth like this but for the jokers

heres the glint img if needed

[chrome widget]

What's the most direct way that SMODS sorts ranks in ascending value order?

[crimson tapir]

how do i make a new rarity

[jolly shadow]

https://www.shadertoy.com/view/lXKyzK

my friend did a shader like that at one point ^ should be usable

[pseudo sun]

this could be useful, but how should i implement it to the joker cards? Im not used to coding shaders

[jolly shadow]

I'm not sure, never worked with shaders myself, just figured this is helpful because it's glsl

[pseudo sun]

ill try to figure it out myself, thanks for the help

[crimson tapir]

nvm

what is wrong with this code lua -- Album Rarity SMODS.Rarity.add( "Album", { name = "Album", rate = 0, color = "242424" } )

its saying attempt to call 'add' a nil value

[plucky berry]

i think you just need SMODS.Rarity

without .add

SMODS.Rarity {
name = "Album",
rate = 0,
color = "242424"
}

[crimson tapir]

now its saying attempt to index local 'o' [a string value]

[plucky berry]

did you remove the "Album" too near Rarity

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

[crimson tapir]

i just did now it says ']' expected [to close '[' at line 207 near '='207 is the line that smods.rarity(

[plucky berry]

check your parentesis'

i suggest you use visual studio code instaed of a text editor, so you can see this basic errors beforehand

[crimson tapir]

i am

[plucky berry]

have you got the lua extention?

[crimson tapir]

yes

[jolly shadow]

its not parenthesis

its brackets

{}

[plucky berry]

was about to say that

[crimson tapir]

on name or color or both

[jolly shadow]

SMODS.Rarity {
  key = "Album",
  weight = 0,
  color = HEX("242424")
}

mb

[crimson tapir]

oh thanks

[crimson thistle]

gonna paste this here from a reddit post i made since i was told to consult here.

[jolly shadow]

go to the joker forge thread in #1209506514763522108

[crimson thistle]

i see thanks

[outer jungle]

i have an econ joker that resets after a boss blind is there any way to make it so the reset comes after the cash out?

[crimson tapir]

if i make a new rarity how do i make a joker that rarity if it doesnt have a number

[jolly shadow]

you could have it reset on context.ending_shop or context.setting_blind

[jolly shadow]

use the string, with your mod prefix

rarity = "prefix_Rarity"

i think?

something like that

[crimson tapir]

oh so in the joker code i can set the rarity to a string

[jolly shadow]

yeah

[jolly shadow]

also i was wrong make sure u put it lowercase even if ur key has uppercase

so like rarity = "prefix_rarity"

[crimson tapir]

thx

[outer jungle]

i guess

[crimson tapir]

does anyone know why im getting the error attempt to insert object "j_nlsmd_SITM" into an empty pool ```lua
-- Album Rarity
SMODS.Rarity {
key = "Album",
weight = 0,
color = HEX("242424")
}

-- Stuck In The Middle
SMODS.Joker{
key = 'SITM',
blueprint_compat = true,
rarity = "Album",
cost = 15,
loc_txt = {
name = 'Stuck In The Middle',
text = {
'insert description here'
}
},
atlas = 'placeholder',
pos = {x = 0, y = 0}
}```

[daring fern]

You're missing your mod prefix.

[crimson tapir]

where

[daring fern]

On the rarity.

[crimson tapir]

so what do i change it to

[daring fern]

modprefix_key

[crimson tapir]

so rarity = "nlsmd_Album",?

[crimson tapir]

ok i did that but the rarity is showing as error

[chrome widget]

Winter mod coming out soon woot

[wind steppe]

how do i get the position of a tag in G.ASSET_ATLAS.tags?

[granite jay]

What's the best way to convert this to a string for use in vars rather than main_start or main_end?

[gaunt folio]

"Balance"

this IS a nightmare for UI

[jolly shadow]

😭

[gaunt folio]

if i was truly insane id add perma_repetitions but this is insane enough

[charred widget]

Hello friends. I'm here to make some changes to one of my jokers.

Koraidon here applies red seals to played wild cards. However, since wild cards are hard to come by, I've decided I want to buff him.

I want the first hand of each round to turn into wild cards with red seals

How would I modify the code to do that?

[red flower]

none, it's in main_start for a reason

[granite jay]

DAMMIT

[red flower]

what do you want to do

[granite jay]

I can't figure out how to do the backdrop for xMult cos I want to make a joker that's essentially an Xmult Misprint

[red flower]

you just wrap that G.UIT.O node in a G.UIT.C node

I recommend looking at localize in the base game code, it has this setup

[charred widget]

Alright so I tried tweaking it by myself

and it doesn't crash the game on loading

but when it's about to score a card, it drops this crash log

I'll drop the updated code if anyone wants to take a look

[sturdy compass]

Is there a wild edition?

@charred widget

[sturdy compass]

😭

[charred widget]

me when i get two rather similar terms mixed up (how clumsy of me)

[charred widget]

Alright now I'm having a different problem

I put in some more code that should make Koraidon give 2x mult for every wild card played, but it's not working as intended

knowing me, it's probably because of some syntax mistake or I just implemented it into the code wrong

[rocky plaza]

what exactly is wrong
also the Xmult in config.extra should prob be 2

[charred widget]

oh right

well it's just not applying the mult

[rocky plaza]

instead of SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card)["m_wild"] == true
do
SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_wild")

[charred widget]

aight i'll see how it works

[charred widget]

doesn't work

[unkempt bronze]

Any idea how to code to look for unique chip totals? My current best idea is write-in tables to store every single one in order and have the joker compare the current to those before/

[rocky plaza]

this is strange

[unkempt bronze]

what is?

[rocky plaza]

not you
sorry

[rocky plaza]

ok
before the return xmult statement could you do
print("reached")
and tell me if it says reached

[gusty iron]

What exactly are you trying to do?

[charred widget]

it printed reached like fifteen times

[unkempt bronze]

It's pretty laid out: +14 chips per every unique base chip total, before the jokers add a bunch of chips

[rocky plaza]

well thats good
replace Xmult with xmult??? idk

im not seeing anything else weird

[gusty iron]

In that case id reccomend just keeping a table inside of the joker with all of the unique values

[gusty iron]

Xmult doesnt work iirc

xmult does

[rocky plaza]

huh
jokerforge stuff uses Xmult for some reason

[unkempt bronze]

how do I do that, just hook it on after or?

[charred widget]

xmult didnt work though

[unkempt bronze]

this is why we don't trust Jokerforge

[gusty iron]

Thaatttt would be a question to ask someone else. Hooking isnt my strongsuit

[charred widget]

i don't think the case matters

isn't it a local value?

[unkempt bronze]

well is it that way or can it be does elsewise?

[gusty iron]

I think i see the issue

[unkempt bronze]

to Esz?

[gusty iron]

Yeah

Try Xmult_mod

[unkempt bronze]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "scorigami",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = false,
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 6,
    pos = { x = ??, y = ?? },
    config = { extra = { chips = 0, chip_mod = 14 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local xiferp_unique_chip = (compare to every entry in xiferp_scorigami_table)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chip_mod, localize(xiferp_scorigami_table), card.ability.extra.chips } }
        if context.(post_hand) then
            xiferp_unique_chip
            if does not match then
                add chip_total_value to xiferp_scorigami_table
            end,
        end,
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_mod
            return {
                message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            }
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips
            }
        end
    end
}

set table xiferp_scorigami_table
xiferp_scorigami_table: {}```

current joker pseudocode

(mostly based on Castle)

[charred widget]

still not multing

[gusty iron]

Huh

[rocky plaza]

😭

maybe a wonky if statement elsewhere???

[unkempt bronze]

try xmult_mod?

[gusty iron]

Have it print card.ability.extra.Xmult

See if that's the issue

[charred widget]

printed it like 15 times

and still not multing

[rocky plaza]

did it print a number

or nil

[charred widget]

wait

[gusty iron]

What did it print

[charred widget]

it's nil

[gusty iron]

OKAY

[rocky plaza]

ah that would be why

[gusty iron]

Now try replacing card with self

Should work like a charm

[rocky plaza]

nononono
self is a prototype of the card object

[gusty iron]

Huh

-# swear ive done that before to fix it

[charred widget]

so would it be self.ability.extra.xmult

[gusty iron]

X would be capital

[charred widget]

thought case didn't matter?

[gusty iron]

In terms of the return table, yes

But were talking about a variable

Variables are case sensitive

[unkempt bronze]

bump

[charred widget]

but if I change all of them to have the same case, would it not make a difference?

[gusty iron]

I think this is the best way to explain it:

You have your current xmult value in the config set as "Xmult"

If you want to call the variable, youd have to do "Xmult".

[charred widget]

yeah

ok sure

anyways it crashed again

[daring fern]

No, it should be card not self

[gusty iron]

Card is returning nil on the ability

[rocky plaza]

^

yeah never use self

[gusty iron]

The evil self trick i used doesnt work in this context ig 😔

[rocky plaza]

prototype objects are a consequence of recreating classes with tables in lua

[unkempt bronze]

bump 2 (I wanna know how to clean this up into actual code)

[gusty iron]

What i think is happening is card is targetting other_card for some reason??

[charred widget]

why would it do that?

is it stupid?

[gusty iron]

Honestly atp id say just hardcode the value until you can find a fix

[charred widget]

so how would i go about doing that

surely it wouldn't just be Xmult = 2 right

[gusty iron]

In the return table replace card.ability.extra.Xmult with whatever it should be

[charred widget]

it can't be that easy

[gusty iron]

It is :P

Or it should be

-# hopefully

[rocky plaza]

ideally you'd use the extra value
but since thats breaking
hardcoding the value is kind of our only hope

[rocky plaza]

did you try it
and did it work

[gusty iron]

Theres several pros and cons to doing this:

Pros:

• Gets the joker to actually function

Cons:

• Loses compat with decks like misprint deck
• Is a bit more tedious to change

[charred widget]

it really is that easy

[gusty iron]

Yeah

[unkempt bronze]

bump 3

[charred widget]

finally my boi koraidon is cooperating with me

[gusty iron]

Your formatting is a biiiitttt off, but its readable

My main issue is change 2x to X2 in the description

[unkempt bronze]

bump 4 (the worst in the series)

[granite jay]

That worked, thx

Want some credit in my mod or?

How do you change the curvature of the circle here? I tried using r but that didn't work.

[faint yacht]

r = 0.1 is default value of "roundness" of corners.

[charred widget]

CODE RED

CODE RED

THE WORST HAS COME TO PASS

ARCEUS CREATES TWO ULTRA NECROZMAS

[granite jay]

OH SO GETTING RID OF R JUST MAKES IT A FUCKIN SQUARE YET WHEN I SET R TO SOMETHING IT DOES THIS?! EVEN WHEN I SET R TO 0.1?!

[unkempt bronze]

bump 5 (this better be the last)

[river grail]

bruh

[unkempt bronze]

yeah...Imma stop

[slim ferry]

What if you set r to 0.05

[granite jay]

Doesn’t work iirc, honestly I’m fine with sharp corners, I’m done with this fuckin thing.

[keen atlas]

r is meant to be a boolean actually, but used as a number in vanilla

you can try using res

[gusty iron]

i first added my english teacher, now its my math teacher's turn

(it starts off as ^)

[unkempt bronze]

Does anyone know how to make a joker write to a table?

[loud summit]

wdym by that

[unkempt bronze]

How does a joker write a new value into a table?

[loud summit]

just set it

if you write to a key that doesnt exist it just creates it

you do know how tables in lua work right

[unkempt bronze]

Oh, just set the table, and the joker takes care of the rest

[unkempt bronze]

Learning as I go

(so no)

[loud summit]

oh

so you can access an element in two ways

table.key1

or table["key1"]

the first one looks nicer, especially for nested tables

but the second one lets you access a key based on a variable namw

you can also mix and match them

like card.ability.extra.whatever[key]

(which gets card.ability.extra.whatever.(the string that key is set to))

[gusty iron]

i remember when i learned nested tables...

[faint yacht]

card.ability.extra.amogus.farts.lol = card['ability']['extra']['amogus']['farts'].lol

[unkempt bronze]

Ah. Got it. One more question: how do I read the base chips of a hand?

Like, after the last scored card but before the cards held.

[faint yacht]

hand_chips is the global... you may need to check for if the currently scored card is the last scoring card.

Otherwise, for just the total chips of just the hand along, G.GAME.hands[hand].chips, where hand is the string of said hand, be it 'Flush' or w/e.

[unkempt bronze]

I was about to ask if tables must have the mod prefix, and I thought of course they should!

Would xiferp_scorigami_table be a valid table name?

[faint yacht]

Unless specified to, modprefixes aren't needed.

Some of my global tables that are accessible everywhere are attached to SMODS.current_mod, which is referenced as togabalatro as my mod initializes - for example, togabalatro.chipmultopswap is a global table.

But, otherwise, you're free to just

scorigami_table = {}

and not much else to define it.

[unkempt bronze]

alrighty then, thank you!

One true final question, how do I compare one thing against all of a table?

[real crown]

How do I check if a hand is present? As in, there are drawn cards in the hand.
I want to add cards to the hand, but if it's not present, then to the deck, as of now if there are no cards in the hand, the card just gets added to the hand anyway and it looks goofy in the shop.

[maiden phoenix]

Check if G.hand.cards[1] exists?

[umbral zodiac]

or maybe just next(G.hand.cards)
technically the same but next is cooler

[real crown]

I'll try, thank you!

[umbral zodiac]

if theres nothing in G.hand.cards itll return nil and nil is falsey
and if there is something itll return it and anything else is truthy

[unkempt bronze]

    set[key] = true
end
function checkForKey(key)
  if setDoesNotContain(scorigami_table, key) then
    table.insert(scorigami_table, key)
end```

This should turn my table into a set, yes?

And then search it for the key, yea?

[willow scroll]

Wow I have like 5 checks like the other method because I forgot next exists

I must fix this immediately

[vocal helm]

This is probably a really strange question, but given that the cards in Balatro kinda wiggle in a faux 3D rotation motion, what are the "fake" x/y/z rotations given to the cards? I need to find their normals.

[umbral zodiac]

it may do you good to look into some shader's code

[vocal helm]

that's what i'm doin

[umbral zodiac]

i know that there's this variable passed to shaders

[vocal helm]

right

[unkempt bronze]

only bump

[umbral zodiac]

i love the dissolve shader

[vocal helm]

so anyway, 3d joker

[umbral zodiac]

oh god

[willow scroll]

My brain saw Peter Griffin in that 😭

Good art

[true jasper]

I need a mod that changes all the jokers to be 3d like that

[vocal helm]

(it doesn't use a 3D model it's just faking it with shaders)

[willow scroll]

I assumed that already its called love2d for a reason :clueless:

Wow that joke is mid

[lusty eagle]

how does one make the joker go away after a certain amount of rounds?

[chrome widget]

Bizarre, im getting some crash with cardsleeves when the game calls for a save

Specifically with one of my modded sleeves....

Ugh. Crashes only when using the sleeve with the associated deck,

[unkempt bronze]

         if context.round_eval and setDoesNotContain(scorigami_table, xiferp_unique_chip) then
             table.insert(scorigami_table, xiferp_unique_chip)
         end```
help

what do I replace setDoesNotContain with?

[maiden phoenix]

Did you recently update CardSleeves?

[hidden notch]

How do I apply a Stake to my Challenge?
I can set G.GAME.stake = 8 in the apply, but that doesn't actually apply any of the Stake-Changes

[daring fern]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Stake[8].modifiers()?

[hidden notch]

What do I do with that?
Just call it..??

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hidden notch]

Doesn't do anything... Nvm. ->

Ah, .. Wait, Do I have to apply all of them seperatly?

[daring fern]

Yes.

No, just call SMODS.setup_stake(8)

[hidden notch]

-# Oh thank god-
Thank you

[daring fern]

You would replace it with not table.contains but you need to define it first.

[lusty eagle]

bump?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L4208 and use SMODS.destroy_cards(card)

[lusty eagle]

I mean, for SMOKE IT TO THE BUTT, I’m thinking that it gives +15 Mult for the next 10 rounds, so it’s a mixture of popcorn and invisible, probably?

[lusty eagle]

I’m still a beginner at this

[frosty dock]

note: you should avoid using a magic number for that, a specific stake index won't consistently correspond to the stake you want if someone inserts a stake in between. instead use SMODS.setup_stake(SMODS.Stakes["stake_key"].order)

[red flower]

if you haven't solved this yet the correct one is 0.05

[granite jay]

r = 0.05? Will try that

[long sun]

i'd like to add a sprite on top of the logo on the main menu

can i do this with a DrawStep, or is there another way?

i'd just change the title screen sprite but i want Ghost to appear on it even if a different mod also changed it

[red flower]

some mods do this, I'll check those
like balatro goes kino, maximus, fools gambit

[long sun]

awesome ^u^

[hidden notch]

Thank you very much for mentioning that!

[lusty eagle]

The only part for me to do is figure out how I can code it…

[willow scroll]

i remember there being some github repo with some example shaders, which one is that?

[willow scroll]

mostly because i want to maybe try shaders but also because i am currently using a shader from there as a placeholder that i am allowed to use freely but i forgot to credit that like a dumbass

[rotund sable]

I think it was smods/examples or something like that

[willow scroll]

i dont see a examples folder in the repo

but i also am currently experiencing a major case of the genior so i might just be :clueless:

its a seperate repo

kurwa

[rotund sable]

A separate repo :clueless:

[lament agate]

is there any documentation for calc_dollar_bonus(self, card)

[tepid crow]

give me a tag if this is something I need to look into

[lament agate]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[tepid crow]

thanks mods

[grand violet]

gone be

[thorn basin]

I tried to make a consumable that gives a random enahncement from an ObjectType pool but for some reason the game gives me error, is there something I'm still missing?

[tepid crow]

that's a weird spot to put the pseudorandom, is that what it's crashing on?

[thorn basin]

yup

[real crown]

How can I shuffle the card back into the deck when I don't have a hand? It does it trivially when a hand exists, but if I have shop open, it just adds it back, but it seems to be in the discard pile and is only shuffled back into the deck after next round end

[tepid crow]

I'm assuming your intent is a suit-changing tarot that randomly picks 1 of 2 suits to convert the cards to after(?) the player uses it

[thorn basin]

nope, my intent is a consumable that gives a card a random enhancement from a specific ObjectType pool

[tepid crow]

Oh, I thought mod_conv was only for suits

I do see now that is also for enhancements

neat

[tepid crow]

Right, let me rephrase then. Your intent is an enhancement-changing tarot that randomly picks 1 of X enhancements to convert the cards to after(?) the player uses it

[thorn basin]

yes

[tepid crow]

then what are you trying to show in loc_vars?

a constantly changing text for each enhancement?

[thorn basin]

nope, I put both enhancements descriptions to be shown when you hover over said consumable

[thorn basin]

this basically:

[tepid crow]

Okay, but I still don't understand then why you are returning localize{..., key = card.ability.mod_conv} as one of the vars

or more specifically, why card.ability.mod_conv is set using pseudorandom

[thorn basin]

That is my fault, I need to remove it

yet I wanna know how can I make mod_conv get a random enhancement from a pool

[tepid crow]

SMODS.poll_rarity, probably? See the docs https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#randomness

you can then use pseudorandom_element on the pool and pool key

see e.g. get_next_tag_key in the basegame source code functions/common_events.lua:1914

Unless there's something built into smods that automatically does all that for you (I couldn't find it)

and obviously make sure to do all of that in the use method of your consumable, not in the config

[thorn basin]

aight

[slim ferry]

SMODS.poll_enhancement with an options field for the allowed enhancements

[thorn basin]

I'm missing something but I'm not sure what exactly is

[thorn basin]

should the options be the the key of the objectType pool?

[slim ferry]

No it should be a table of enhancement keys

[unkempt bronze]

Think I got it working as I'd like anyway

[long sun]

i've made a couple patches to add a new sprite to the main menu

however, it's not appearing on the title screen

[red flower]

the seed and the set are reversed in get_current_pool
but yes you should be using SMODS.poll_enhancement

[loud summit]

are u trying to add to the title hand

[long sun]

i'm trying to add a sprite to the title screen

[not a card]

it should look like this

the Ghost in the corner is her own sprite

[loud summit]

Ww

aww

[long sun]

^u^ hehe

[loud summit]

-# unfortunately it wouldb probably be overriden by ortalab 😔

[long sun]

well that's the thing

i considered having the Phanta logo with her baked in

but i thought it'd be cuter for her to remain if something overrides the title

[loud summit]

oh ye

weell look at how aiko and mkt do it maybe

er wait no just mkt

[long sun]

what's that short for?

[loud summit]

milkys mod i forgot what its called

https://github.com/milkywaydotmoe/mktjokers

[long sun]

this seems to be what i'm doing

[loud summit]

tttthen try to find a difference ig

because theirs works

[long sun]

can i see what it looks like?

[loud summit]

iuh cant rn sorry :(

[long sun]

ah allg

mm, lemme see what this is doing differently

[loud summit]

ok i found someoen elses lol

[long sun]

ah grand :D

[loud summit]

also ig maximus does it too

[real crown]

How can I shuffle the newly added card into the deck?
As of now it gets added to the full deck list, but only gets actually added after the end of next round, when the cards are shuffled in

[loud summit]

why are you adding to the table dieectly

use SMODS.add_card

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[real crown]

I do it based on how I see the implementation in VanillaRemade, so I figured that was the way to add it

[loud summit]

i mean create_card

[real crown]

Doesn't create_card generate from a set? I need a saved card to be added to the deck

[pearl jacinth]

how to press the select button before blinds with code

[loud summit]

see pins

[loud summit]

i think theres a function to move a card from one area to another

[wind steppe]

yeah emplace

[loud summit]

oh

[wind steppe]

thats the same way dna works i think

[real crown]

So I'm guessing G.deck:emplace(c) then?

[wind steppe]

its intended behavior

[loud summit]

uhh yea ig so

[wind steppe]

yeah but then it doesn't go into your hand

[loud summit]

just dont directly write to the table

it skips over stuff like add to hand contexts

and vanillaremade is wrong in this case

i think

[wind steppe]

why

[real crown]

I need it to go into my hand only if my hand is present, but go to my deck when getting a card while in shop without a hand, the hand part was done, only issue was that it didn't get shuffled in, but I'll try deck emplace then

[loud summit]

its table.inserting into playing_cards

[wind steppe]

you should probably emplace into deck only if theres no hand and not always

[loud summit]

oh

wait uhh

only emplace once per card

its ok to insert it into the playing_cards table because its already emplaced into hand

i guess

[real crown]

That's inside my code, I was told if G.hand.cards[1] does that

[loud summit]

then have it emplace into deck in an else statement

[real crown]

Yeah that's the plan

Without the table insert it seems to not increase the deck size

[lusty eagle]

what can i do next?

[real crown]

Thank you so much @loud summit and @wind steppe, it's working now with deck emplace!

[chrome widget]

I didn't get much deeper a chance to look into it last night but I'll be investigating more today. I'm just not sure where to start cause the crash log is weird?

[tepid crow]

what's the crash log?

[queen crescent]

now i wonder if i can make a blind have priority over jokers

its for suspense

[chrome widget]

(on mobile right now) It basically says that the first argument to the channel:push() method used for saving on the Save manager channel isn't a valid type

But it was pointing to a line in Game.lua somewhere in the 2900s (probably offset some compared to other mods due to my patches) where it was clearly passing a table, which is a valid type

[queen crescent]

main reason? i think its funny

[ashen drift]

where would i even begin to add a sprite here

[chrome widget]

I can get the proper crash log once I get out of bed but it's not super helpful IMO

[lusty eagle]

I feel like I’m interrupting…

[ashen drift]

nvm i can figure something out

[loud summit]

yipee

[loud summit]

do u want to replace balatro oe

[ashen drift]

No

[lusty eagle]

I just want help, okay?

[ashen drift]

i could just copy code for that LMAO

though actually wait

[tepid crow]

Judging by this description it seems something weird is happening with the save manager (which cardsleeves doesn't even touch), so not even sure if I can help

[queen crescent]

man i want the blind to destroy chicot

[chrome widget]

That's why I'm confused, cause nothing I do uses the save manager wither

[loud summit]

yea copy what milky did lol

[chrome widget]

It's clearly some weird interaction with my own content, because it's specifically one of my sleeves when used alongside its deck counterpart, and no other situation

[loud summit]

^ here

[chrome widget]

And no crashes otherwise

[ashen drift]

No

[loud summit]

what

[ashen drift]

i think that draws the sprite in front of the balatro one

not what i want

[loud summit]

oh

maybe sprites can define a z layer?

[lusty eagle]

... you guys aren't any help sometimes... honestly

[queen crescent]

largest middle finger to the player, i really wanna see it happen lowkey

[ashen drift]

ill go and figure something myself

[tepid crow]

if you can send me something reproducible I might be able to take a look today (or next week monday)

[loud summit]

what if eternal chicot tho

[obtuse wraith]

But your legendary had other plans did he?

[ashen drift]

i could probably just render the sprite before the balatro text

[queen crescent]

i just want the blind to destroy regular chicot 😭

[ashen drift]

you can probably hook the disable blind thing chicot does

[loud summit]

well yea if you hooked rhe title screen func and added the sprite before it then probably

[loud summit]

wouldnt that double destroy luchador

and what about playing cards that disable blinds, like mine :(

[ashen drift]

fuck luchador

you can just hook to check if chicot is present and the boss blind is your boss blind i think

[queen crescent]

  if context.setting_blind then
    func = function()
     G.jokers:remove_card(card)
     card:remove()
     card = chicot
     return true;
    end
``` idk you tell me

[loud summit]

well you could just do that in the blinds disable function

[queen crescent]

i put the card = to always target chicot

[ashen drift]

idk im not familliar with blinds just a thought :)

[loud summit]

SMODS.destroy_card(SMODS.find_card("j_chicot").next) might work

[lusty eagle]

hello?

[loud summit]

is it .next or .next()?

[queen crescent]

no idea

[ashen drift]

next(the thing)

iirc

[loud summit]

lol, im sure the smods wiki has something

[ashen drift]

next is a function

[loud summit]

you havent really asked a question

[lusty eagle]

scroll up

[queen crescent]

bam

[loud summit]

... hang on what was the function again

[queen crescent]

the original code?

[queen crescent]

that would be this

[loud summit]

.destroy_cards

of course it has an s for some reason

[loud summit]

a specific question

[lusty eagle]

i mean, is there any variables that i can replace?

[tepid crow]

like popcorn/icecream?

[lusty eagle]

yeah

since SMOKE IT TO THE BUTT is related to smoking, i'm thinking of the next 10 rounds

[tepid crow]

check the VanillaRemade code for those jokers

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

[loud summit]

looks fine, if a bit op

[queen crescent]

both chicot and the blind activated at the same time lo

[loud summit]

oh, probably put the destroy func in a event

[lusty eagle]

it still has elements of popcorn in it though, so should i replace the "extra_mult" variable with rounds or something like that?

[loud summit]

iits a variable

you can name it whatever you want

as long as youre consistent with it

a self-defined var*

[loud summit]

send code

[queen crescent]

what about creating

[loud summit]

event

[queen crescent]

im talking an SMODS.<thing>

[loud summit]

?

[queen crescent]

basically is there an inverse to SMODS.destroy_cards

[loud summit]

SMODS.create_card?

[queen crescent]

yeah

[lusty eagle]

@loud summit

[loud summit]

the config is set to total_rounds but youre trying to access rounds

[lusty eagle]

oh

_>

[real crown]

Nevermind the adding card is not perfectly fixed, when drawing the deck emplaced card, it's invisible. If I also start materializing it, it won't be invisible, but it'll be in my non-existing hand

[lusty eagle]

what can i change about it?

[loud summit]

change the word

[lusty eagle]

to total_rounds?

[loud summit]

yes

[lusty eagle]

it also didn't output the mult, should be easy to fix

or not, since i tried to copy the code from jimbo

i'm that lazy, huh

[loud summit]

return the mult val

[lusty eagle]

I’m gonna try it

Before I do the art lmao

[lusty eagle]

Still doesn’t output the mult

[slim ferry]

card.ability.extra.mult

[lusty eagle]

SHIT

i'm a moron for forgetting that

[loud summit]

ih yea

oh yea

[real crown]

I don't see anything in your answer (might be Discord bug), do you have a solution?

[slim ferry]

_ _

teehee

[lusty eagle]

And it crashed

[slim ferry]

did you misspell extra

by any chance

oh no you also need to have card.ability.extra.total_rounds

[lusty eagle]

OMFG WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME

[slim ferry]

being new to coding i imagine

happens to everyone lmao

[lusty eagle]

I’m still a beginner

[wind steppe]

ㅤ

[lusty eagle]

And I forgot to put a value to “total_rounds_lost”…

[slim ferry]

you could also just put 1 there

since i dont imagine you would be changing by how much the round count decrements

[lusty eagle]

IT STILL CRASHED THOUGH I PUT A FUCKING VALUE ON IT

[slim ferry]

sned log

[lusty eagle]

never mind, i just needed to start a new run

the only thing i need to do is the joker art and i'll be finished

oh yeah, i forgot to show how many rounds the joker has got left

how can i show how many rounds does the joker have left?

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#localization-functions use loc_vars, +look at how vanillaremade uses it as reference

[chrome widget]

@tepid crow Here's the crashlog, and the code for both my sleeve and the deck it accompanies:

Well, I'll do codesnap versions of these too

But what specifically it's crashing on is the block that saves every ten seconds in game.lua

[lusty eagle]

i mean on the actual joker...

[slim ferry]

yes

thats for on the actual joker

[lusty eagle]

        -- all keys in this return table are optional

            },
``` ? something like that?

[slim ferry]

yeah

and then #1# in the description will be replaced with the round count

[lusty eagle]

it says “nil rounds”

[slim ferry]

huh

code?

        end
    end
}

[queen crescent]

what the hell do you mean

[loud summit]

oh maybe it doesnt work if you pass a nil value to destroy_cards?

also add .next() since it returns a list

[slim ferry]

no..

[queen crescent]

after the j_x?

[slim ferry]

you would, though not in this case

since here youre using the full table of cards

[slim ferry]

oh

you need to have loc_vars

not in your calculate

its a seperate thing

in the joker

[queen crescent]

yeah and the third one is in it

[lusty eagle]

okay, it's all done, thank fuck

[red flower]

why are you returning this

[queen crescent]

idk, it seems right

[red flower]

it's not

also post the full crashlog pls

[thorn basin]

ok so I just tried to mod Balatro on another computer but for some reason when I open it it gets stuck in a pitch black screen with another window with various inputs.
is there a way to stop making it endlessly loading?

[chrome widget]

Does your setup have multiple monitors?

[thorn basin]

....no?

[thorn basin]

no it doesn't

[chrome widget]

Damn, then it's not the thing ive encountered

[ashen drift]

is it the lovely console

[thorn basin]

yes

[ashen drift]

thats normal just wait for a while until the game loads

or my pc is just really slow

[thorn basin]

aight

[wild pine]

working on a card that cycles its description when i press a key, but it only updates after moving my mouse off and back on, is there a way to force reload the cards text?

[loud summit]

maybe dynatext

try looking at like misprint in vanillaremade?

seems like you need a main_start function in the return for loc_vars

[red river]

how can i permanently debuff a joker without it clearing its debuff?

setting joker.debuff to true seems to reset it when blind is started/finished

[slim ferry]

<joker>.perma_debuff = true

[red river]

i tried that but it doesn't seem to do anything

[slim ferry]

it wont change until debuffs are recalculated

[thorn basin]

um.. it's still loading and now it says that Balatro is not responding...

[slim ferry]

so you also need to set debuff and/or recalculate debuffs on the card

[lusty eagle]

there we go

[ashen drift]

restart balatro

[queen crescent]

since someone wanted to crash log

-# apparently showing just the crash and the responsible code is not enough

[red river]

tried setting perma_debuff alongside regular debuff, it still gets cleared

[slim ferry]

actually

wait hold on

okay i think i just hallucinated card.perma_debuff since i cant find anything about it

but you could create your own version of it by debuffing all cards with a certain flag with a mod calculate

[red river]

how... do i do that? what are flags? what is a mod calculate?
-# sorry if that's a lot

[loud summit]

scary

[lusty eagle]

it's actually this album cover, literally based the joker on it lol

[slim ferry]

mod calculate:

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
 --any of the usual calculate stuff
end

and flags are just variables, and more specifically variables that track one specific state of something. usually you should store these in a card's ability (for example, vanillaremade crimson heart does this to keep track of the debuffed joker)

[queen crescent]

uhhhh

[lusty eagle]

good ep though imo

[frosty rampart]

*SMODS.current_mod.calculate

[loud summit]

id say try to recreate it in the balatro style, unless youre going for jarring images like tangents

[queen crescent]

candycane you're knowledgable

im trying to destroy a modded joker but crashes with a nil 'ability' when trying

[loud summit]

sorta

[red river]

oh, that's... handy. i'll try that

[frosty rampart]

still wrong (you replaced the wrong underscore)

there fixed

[slim ferry]

IM

AHH

BHSFHJUARJUIWHBUIQE

[lusty eagle]

i don't have the skills aaaaa

[queen crescent]

i think thats whats going on

[loud summit]

ok so uhh send the code ig

[queen crescent]

this is the responsible piece of code

[jolly shadow]

I think you should check if the find_card returns anything first and then destroy accordingly

[queen crescent]

there is a joker with that key

[jolly shadow]

I know but you don't always have that card in ur jokers

so it's best to check first then destroy

[slim ferry]

also

you still have it in the return

which is not where it should be

[queen crescent]

it must be in a return {}

[slim ferry]

no

it does not

its just a function

[loud summit]

oh wait dont put a comma

[thorn basin]

...aaand it's still loading

[queen crescent]

same ordeal

[loud summit]

ok hm

might seem a bit stupid but

for _, c in SMODS.find_card do
SMODS.destroy_cards(c)
end

[queen crescent]

huh

cards returns nil

[red river]

so... i tried

  if G.jokers ~= nil then
    for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
      G.jokers.cards[i].debuff = G.jokers.cards[i].ability.joker_services_chosen
    end
  end 
end```
where `joker_services_chosen` is, allegedly, a variable that should debuff a joker, but that doesn't seem to happen

[faint yacht]

local chicots = SMODS.find_card("j_chicot") -- check if we got any.
if next(chicots) then SMODS.destroy_cards(chicots) end -- if we got any, kill. :)

[slim ferry]

it should be

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self,context)
  if context.debuff_card and context.debuff_card.ability.joker_services_chosen then
    return { debuff = true }
  end
end

[red river]

oooh

[glass scaffold]

This worked back when I had 0711a, but it's not applying the eternal in 0827c. Anyone know a fix?

[red river]

it... still doesn't work!

[queen crescent]

didnt
cards returns nil

[red river]

if it's any help, the code that should apply debuff is a joker that debuffs a card to its right. the code i use is placed in loc_vars function

    if card.area and card.area == G.jokers then
      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
      if other_joker == nil and card.ability.extra.currently_debuffed ~= nil then
        card.ability.extra.currently_debuffed.debuff = false
        -- SMODS.recalc_debuff(card.ability.extra.currently_debuffed)
        card.ability.extra.currently_debuffed.ability.joker_services_chosen = nil
        card.ability.extra.currently_debuffed = nil
      elseif other_joker ~= nil and other_joker ~= card.ability.extra.currently_debuffed then
        if card.ability.extra.currently_debuffed ~= nil then
          card.ability.extra.currently_debuffed.debuff = false
          -- SMODS.recalc_debuff(card.ability.extra.currently_debuffed)
          card.ability.extra.currently_debuffed.ability.joker_services_chosen = nil
          card.ability.extra.currently_debuffed = nil
        end
        other_joker.debuff = true
        -- SMODS.recalc_debuff(other_joker)
        other_joker.ability.joker_services_chosen = true
        card.ability.extra.currently_debuffed = other_joker
      elseif other_joker ~= nil and other_joker ~= card.ability.extra.currently_debuffed and card.ability.extra.currently_debuffed.debuff == false then
        other_joker.debuff = true
        -- SMODS.recalc_debuff(other_joker)
        other_joker.ability.joker_services_chosen = true
      end
      return {
        vars = { card.ability.extra.currently_debuffed }
      }
    end
  end```

[slim ferry]

uh

why is it in loc_vars

lmao

[red river]

i don't know a better way to make a joker trigger when it's moved

[slim ferry]

also you should be setting joker_services_chosen on other_joker

[red river]

i guess i can just put it in calculate without giving any context, but that doesn't work consistently

so other_joker.joker_services_chosen instead of other_joker.ability.joker_services_chosen?

[slim ferry]

actually

you could just do this in a calculate directly without any of the extra stuff i think

because of context.debuff_card

it would just be delayed until blind select ig

[queen crescent]

and promptly crashed

[red river]

i... think i tried that, and it still cleared somehow. i'll give it another try, hold on...

yeah... it does clear when i select a blind

[glass scaffold]

[red river]

actually nevermind. i tried simplifying the code to just G.jokers.cards[1].debuff = true and the debuff was kept consistently

at this point it's probably some error in my code

thanks for all the help! i'll continue workin on this thing on my own for now

i... made the game immediately close itself upon hovering my mouse on a joker

[stoic void]

This no work :(

[errant arrow]

Where would I start on making a deck?

[loud summit]

smods wiki

[real crown]

How can I make an enhancement render above the rank and symbols on the card? Preferably even above editions
Someone suggested DrawStep a few weeks ago, but I couldn't figure out how to make that work

[frosty rampart]

reference the Sleeved enhancement in the latest beta of Paperback, it does exactly that

[real crown]

Thank you!

[queen crescent]

sooo

[loud summit]

hey @long sun so if u did want to do the >:) enhancement it seems like its possible :3

[long sun]

oooo nice :3

[loud summit]

ya

[real crown]

I can't find a Sleeved enhancement, only Bandaged, Ceramic, Domino, Soaked, Stained, and Wrapped

[frosty rampart]

in the latest beta

the github has a separate beta branch

[real crown]

Ah found it, thank you!!
I was trying to look for beta, but didn't know it was on another branch

[quiet pivot]

How do i find the seed of the run, using script

[hardy viper]

G.GAME.seed

pretty sure

[quiet pivot]

alright thanks

[prisma loom]

Folks, can someone explain why my text get "squished" here?

for comparison

Or am I crazy?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.pseudorandom.seed

[quiet pivot]

ok thank's, i'll try that then

[gusty compass]

would you guys happen to know how i could move back antes via ease_ante, since the game seems to self destruct (no error log) when i have it as ease_ante(-1) in order to go back antes, referenced to the vanilla backtracking vouchers

[daring fern]

‎

[queen crescent]

so did anyone manage to figure this one out

[gusty compass]

nvm i just happened to use the wrong function, so that is solved, but the consumable seems to crash balatro if it has an edition like negative from perkeo

[next timber]

why does this stupid shader system not have dot products. why did it need its own shader language

[gusty compass]

f# is designed for shaders im pretty sure

[next timber]

if someone has a love2d shader that can change the hue of a pixel i will like actually pay you to have it please im so tired of shaders

[jolly shadow]

wishing i knew how to shaders so i could get that bag 😎😔

[gusty compass]

you could just steal the balatro vanilla shaders 🤑

take the holo and tweak it a bit idk

[prisma loom]

Folks, what's the Ace's id?

1 or 14?

[jolly shadow]

14

[prisma loom]

kk

[gusty compass]

14

[prisma loom]

thanks!

[jolly shadow]

all in a days work for eddy rob

[queen crescent]

oh my god bruh just work

[next timber]

ok turns out the polychrome shader has HSL/RGB conversion functions

which makes this. super easy actually

its Blue time

[queen crescent]

😭 im crashing out

[daring fern]

Are you sure that is where the crash is coming from?

[queen crescent]

yes

getting rid of these two lines makes the code run normally

im sure its these lines that cause it (i just want to destroy a modded joker 😭

[granite jay]

How do I make a joker check if cards have a specific edition?

[queen crescent]

i already set myself a deadline for tomorrow 😭

[granite jay]

Extend it

[queen crescent]

no

i just want to destroy a modded joker but the code is just not letting me 😭

[granite jay]

                SMODS.destroy_cards(card, nil, nil, true)
                return {
                    message = localize('k_drank_ex'),
                    colour = G.C.FILTER
                }
            else```

Here's this from Seltzer's code

from vremade

should help

[queen crescent]

im trying to do it here

[unkempt bronze]

Say, does anyone know how to check for commonality of suits in the full deck?

[gusty compass]

commonality?

like which one is more common?

[unkempt bronze]

yeah

I'm making a joker for Szymii, and they wanted their card to retrigger every card of the second most common suit

[gusty compass]

i think it is possible for you to run a loop through every card in the full hand, where you can get the suit there and count it perhaps

like a for loop with i as the index, going through context.full_hand[i].base.suit?

[unkempt bronze]

Shouldn't it be like a lookup stat? Organize the suits by card total, ignore the first, and buff the second.

Feel like that should be easier than looping through every card

[gusty compass]

you could, but i personally think you could count the suits and pick the second most significant one

[granite jay]

bump

[queen crescent]

easier said than done, i want to do this in a specific boss blind

[unkempt bronze]

how would you code that?

[gusty compass]

the counting or the second significant one?

[unkempt bronze]

both parts.

and how would add it into a joker? just hook it on?

[gusty compass]

maybe through calculate = function(self, card, context)

[queen crescent]

i dont wanna do this in-joker, rather as part of blind code

[gusty compass]

i could try create a joker like the one you are trying to make, maybe i can make something work

[gaunt thistle]

good soup

[gusty compass]

yes hello

[unkempt bronze]

please?

[gusty compass]

alr give me a second

[unkempt bronze]

(I'll give you proper credit and a joker for that effort!)

[queen crescent]

-# its like finding needles in a haystack

[unkempt bronze]

What are you trying to do?

[queen crescent]

destroy a modded joker at the start of a blind
SMODS.destroy_cards(SMODS.find_card("j_luchador")) works but only for vanilla jokers

[unkempt bronze]

Hmm. Can't you invert it?

[queen crescent]

???????

[unkempt bronze]

Look, idk how you would, but I imagine you could rather easily

[queen crescent]

j_gj_fireicerealjokerlol is a valid joker key, i try to destroy it through that but it gives an ability crash

[unkempt bronze]

Hmm, maybe something like SMODS.destroy_cards {SMODS.find_card("j_luchador) = false}?

pardon my bad coding

[frosty rampart]

i genuinely don't know what's going on with the crash but i don't think that would fix it

[frosty rampart]

you're absolutely positive it's a valid joker key? show the code for the joker in question

i assume gj is your mod prefix

[queen crescent]

yes
and its a valid key

[unkempt bronze]

Mind if I show you the code I have for my version so far?

[frosty rampart]

go to mods/lovely/dump/SMODS/_/src and send utils.lua here

[gusty compass]

go ahead

also my code is a little messy so you might want to modify it a little

sorry about that

[unkempt bronze]

    key = "szymii",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 4,
    pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
    config = { extra = { repetitions = 1 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local second.most.common = 
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.repetitions }, {suit = [second most common]} }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card == context.card.ability.extra.suit then
            return {
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions
            }
        end
    end
}```

[unkempt bronze]

fire away!

[gusty compass]

you dont mind it a bit messy

[queen crescent]

and yeah gj is the prefix

[unkempt bronze]

not that much

[gusty compass]

alr

ill see what i can cook up

[unkempt bronze]

Might if I make a joker of you for my mod?

[gusty compass]

yea sure

[unkempt bronze]

anything specific you want for it?

[queen crescent]

and nothing was found :D

[granite jay]

How do I make a joker check if a playing card has an edition on it?
I wanna make a joker that retriggers cards with editions.

[frosty rampart]

yea i'm genuinely stumped
do me a favor and run eval SMODS.find_card("j_gj_fireicerealjokerlol") in the debugplus console to see what the output is

[frosty rampart]

ok so that's at least getting a table back, that's expected if you don't have any of that joker
try eval SMODS.destroy_cards(SMODS.find_card("j_gj_fireicerealjokerlol")) then

[queen crescent]

ability nil!!!!

[frosty rampart]

how in the world
the crash is because it's trying to check if a card (that doesn't exist) has eternal

[granite jay]

NVM figured it out
You use context.other_card:get_edition()

[queen crescent]

its the same code that destroys chicot and luchador with no problem

[wintry solar]

Are you sure that’s your mod prefix

[frosty rampart]

yea

yes

[keen atlas]

does lovely support multiline patches.pattern

[frosty rampart]

@queen crescent test the same command with one of the jokers existing now

[queen crescent]

what

when i press select it crashes?!

[unkempt bronze]

Does anyone know how to lookup the counts of the suits in the deck?

[frosty rampart]

do you have any other mods on besides the one you're currently developing

[queen crescent]

i do play with a few

[frosty rampart]

what are they

(aside from debugplus too)

[queen crescent]

(i need localpoolfix btw, the mod has a similar problem back when pwx had that pool problem)

[frosty rampart]

ok try with just your mod + debugplus + localpoolfix (+ talisman if that's a requirement)

[gusty compass]

btw what should it do if all suits are balanced?

[unkempt bronze]

exactly nothing!

[queen crescent]

localpoolfix is no longer available as per pwx takedown, but strangely balatro dash needs it

[gusty compass]

and uh, i could probably be an econ joker that gives $4 if the first scored card is a diamond?

[frosty rampart]

that does not impede you from trying what i asked you to try

[unkempt bronze]

Alr!

[queen crescent]

ability crash on blind select, code seems to run fine outside

[frosty rampart]

send another copy of that utils.lua file

[wintry solar]

This is probably because you’re trying to destroy an empty table

[frosty rampart]

(it changed since you turned off a bunch of mods)

[frosty rampart]

he has a check in the actual joker code for if the table is empty or not

actually @queen crescent add the check for when you're destroying chicot and luchador too

[gusty compass]

should it be where if all suits have different amounts, then it triggers?

[queen crescent]

uh, these two destroy themselves just fine, there is no problem there

[frosty rampart]

you need the check for when you don't have any chicots or luchadors

so that it doesn't try to destroy an empty table

[queen crescent]

chicot and luchador destroy themselves just fine 😭

[unkempt bronze]

Well, only if there's a clear second place it functions. so, yes, barring a tie for 3rd and last

[frosty rampart]

this is for behavior when you already don't have any chicots or luchadors

[gusty compass]

kk

[frosty rampart]

they're destroyed fine but they are crashing when you try to destroy them but you don't have any

[queen crescent]

without the modded joker in, the jokers destroy just fine

[wind steppe]

for a voucher's requires: is the table "you need all of these vouchers to get this one" or "you need at least one of these vouchers to get this one"

[frosty rampart]

without the modded joker, have you tested going into the blind without a chicot or luchador

[queen crescent]

i just did

hence the gray ability crash screen

[frosty rampart]

this is entirely without the code to destroy a modded joker?

[queen crescent]

oh, no, the code is there

i highlighted the line responsible for the crash

[frosty rampart]

to be crystal clear
is it crashing when:

• you just have the code to destroy chicot and luchador, not the modded joker
• you enter the blind without either of those jokers
  yes or no

[queen crescent]

i think its b

[frosty rampart]

no those are the two requirements i laid out for a single test case

make both of the bullet points true and then report back if it crashes

[queen crescent]

no, the crash is caused by attempting to destroy the modded joker
-# just tested but the bottom one seems to be having priority
yes

[frosty rampart]

?????? i need you to test both cases at the same time BECAUSE IT'S A SINGLE TEST CASE
i need to see if it crashes when you try to destroy vanilla chicots and luchadors but you don't have any chicots or luchadors

and i want the modded joker part out of the equation to prove that it's an issue with those lines and not the modded joker line

[queen crescent]

perhaps in video form will clear it up

[misty oyster]

can i have some help with a crash im having with "lovely" here? if thats okay i need a bit of help with it

[frosty rampart]

and was this recorded with the code to attempt to destroy your modded joker, or only the code to attempt to destroy vanilla jokers

[wintry solar]

Can you send the crash

[queen crescent]

i removed the destroy modded joker line

[misty oyster]

i have the log ill just put it here edit not my real name

[frosty rampart]

ok
then as i explained already, you need to do the same check to make sure that SMODS.find_card actually contains jokers before you try to destroy them

[frosty rampart]

it would be nice to have destroy_cards check if it received an empty table before doing anything tbh

[wintry solar]

it does

[frosty rampart]

ah i see latest commit updated the check

cool

[queen crescent]

so do i update

[wintry solar]

oh maybe thats not in release yet

[frosty rampart]

yea it's not yet

[gusty compass]

where can i check the entire deck as a list, since im not sure if context.full_hand accounts for the entire deck

[frosty rampart]

no

just check if next(SMODS.find_card("joker key")) before attempting to destroy any cards

[frosty rampart]

G.playing_cards iirc

[queen crescent]

..?

it crashes without the 'then's

[frosty rampart]

yes that should be correct

[queen crescent]

ability crash

[frosty rampart]

are you sure you're saving the file

[queen crescent]

yes hello???? i always press ctrl + s when i test something

[real crown]

Is there a way to preserve card.GUID between quitting and loading?
It seems the card is losing ownership when the game is closed and then the save is loaded

[queen crescent]

it boots up fine if there aren't any jokers

[frosty rampart]

oh wait i can't read

you still have to do SMODS.destroy_cards(SMODS.find_card("joker key"))

same crash different reason

[gusty compass]

ill consider just having it not trigger if all suits are balanced, since its a bit of a difficulty to check for a true second one, so if there would be a tie for second, would you not mind if it may resort to significance (eg. hearts, diamonds, spades, clubs)?

[unkempt bronze]

@gusty compass

[gusty compass]

👍

[unkempt bronze]

I mean, sure.

[gusty compass]

alr

[frosty rampart]

@queen crescent

[queen crescent]

im testing hold on

YES

it just destroyed gj_fireicerealjokerlol

[unkempt bronze]

Plus, my code for your joker's ready to go!

[queen crescent]

32x blind size btw

[gusty compass]

im debugging my bit rn

[next timber]

would running SMODS.find_card every frame cause a significant amount of slowing or should i be fine

[gilded goblet]

who up debugging they code rn 👀

[queen crescent]

now we'll test with all the mods in

ITS GOOD

[lean urchin]

Is this ante 1

Yeah

600 x 32 = that

[queen crescent]

im testing on ante 1
the blind starts appearing past ante 39

[lean urchin]

What

The fuck

[queen crescent]

yes

[hearty crane]

there’s also other joker who disables bossblind effect upon being sold

[gusty compass]

Kill luchador

[hearty crane]

yes

[gusty compass]

Or debuff it

[queen crescent]

luchador? that's already accounted for

[slim ferry]

why dont you just

prevent it from being disabled

by hooking Blind:disable()

[hearty crane]

actually, kill/permanently debuff with eternal on it to any joker that disables boss blind effect

[slim ferry]

that seems easier than just manually destroying boss disablers

[hearty crane]

that is unfun

[slim ferry]

okay but now it gets cheesed by any other mod

that has boss disabling

[hearty crane]

my idea above

[queen crescent]

doesnt say anything about jokers

[slim ferry]

no way to check source of blind disabling

[hearty crane]

check every joker lua file for that specific line which disables it?

[wind steppe]

why isnt this code only getting vouchers that you can currently obtain or vouchers that need the voucher key

                for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
                    if string.sub(k, 1, 2) == "v_"  and v.requires then
                        local is_voucher_obtainable = true
                        for _, vv in ipairs(v.requires) do
                            if vv ~= key then
                                local is_voucher_matching = false
                                for kk, _ in pairs(G.GAME.used_vouchers) do
                                    if kk == vv then
                                        is_voucher_matching = true
                                        break
                                    end
                                end
                                if not is_voucher_matching then is_voucher_obtainable = false end
                            end
                        end
                        if is_voucher_obtainable then
                            valid2[#valid2 + 1] = k
                        end
                    end
                end

[slim ferry]

okay but what if another mod then takes ownership of that joker and it doesnt do that anymore

[hearty crane]

what

[slim ferry]

what if a mod takes ownership of a boss disabling joker

[queen crescent]

the mod has an absurdly high priority so it loads way later than average

[slim ferry]

that

how does that change anything tho]

youre still destroying only 3 specific jokers

[queen crescent]

i only see this, but it debuffs all

[slim ferry]

yeah you would have to actually check what joker it is for that

and also make the cardarea == G.jokers

[queen crescent]

i didnt paste in anything yet
