[wicked leaf]

but I can't do that obviously

[twilit tundra]

wouldnt just swapping the < for a <= do it

[wicked leaf]

uhhhh lemme try actually

[slim ferry]

would still only select 1 hand

[wicked leaf]

yeah

it would choose the last one of the tied, wouldnt it

let me try something

[slim ferry]

last tied one i think

[twilit tundra]

wait hang on is it.
not doing it based off of the hand you play?

[slim ferry]

oh actually

[twilit tundra]

this check feels weird why not just check whether the hand you're playing is valid for being levelled up

[slim ferry]

what you could do is

if theres a tie, check if the current hand is the played hand

and then ignore the hand if so

[wicked leaf]

What the code is doing

loops through all the cards
selects the one that has the least uses
if the played hand is equal to that hand, level it up

[daring fern]

if G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played <= 1 then
    return {func = function()
        SMODS.smart_level_up_hand(card, context.scoring_name)
    end}
end
local hands, played = {}, math.huge
for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    if SMODS.is_poker_hand_visible(k) then
        if v.played < played then
            hands = {[k] = true}
            played = v.played
        elseif v.played == played then
            hands[k] = true
            played = v.played
        end
    end
end
if hands[context.scoring_name] then
    return {func = function()
        SMODS.smart_level_up_hand(card, context.scoring_name)
    end}
end
```?

[twilit tundra]

so it.. always stores what hand it will level up?

[wicked leaf]

oh yeah I could use breaks actually?

[slim ferry]

no because

[wicked leaf]

yes but only 1 at a time

[slim ferry]

what if there is another less played hand

you cant know until you check every single one

[wicked leaf]

gonna try this

[twilit tundra]

okay then simple, just don't store it and instead calculate it on an individual hand basis

when a hand is played, check if that hand specifically is the least played or tied for least played

or would that happen after it already adds to the played count and get fucky

[atomic edge]

hey guys why does this white box go outside of the borders even after i set its maxw to like 2

this is the part of code for it

and the red thing is not even visible

[wicked leaf]

its calling out this line specifically

[daring fern]

Change key to k

[wicked leaf]

both keys?

there's 2 of em

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wicked leaf]

I suppose this won't check for any other ties that aren't 0

thats fine anyway

[daring fern]

No, it checks for all ties.

[wicked leaf]

Didn't work btw

it didn't level up the hand at all

(I played a flush at 0)

[daring fern]

I think I fixed it.

[wicked leaf]

lemme see

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[wicked leaf]

that seems to work

thank you so much

I owe you some sprites man

[slim ferry]

are all of these the available tables for context.other_ret in context.post_trigger? since you need to use context.other_ret.jokers to get the joker return there normally (also what do all of them even contain)

[daring fern]

Yes, context.other_ret contains the return of eval_card

They contain their specified objects calculation except playing_card, end_of_round and retriggers

[wicked leaf]

can you make an enchanced card count as a specific rank?

[red flower]

as well as their original rank? not yet
instead of their original rank? you can hook get_id but it's going to have some spotty mod compat

[wicked leaf]

instead of their original rank yeah

I want the card to count as jacks

[atomic edge]

can anyone help maybe?

[red flower]

you can hook Card:get_id and make it return 11 if they have an enhancement

[wicked leaf]

what I mean is like

The enhancement itself COUNTS as a jack

that specific enhancement

[red flower]

the outer one says 2 but the inside one says 3

[red flower]

ok same thing but check for that enhancement

[wicked leaf]

for reference im trying to make these count as jacks, queens and kings respectively

[wicked leaf]

ill get to learning hooks in a moment then

[wind steppe]

So the card with the enhancement counts as a jack and something else?

[broken rivet]

how do i prevent this from being debuffed on the collection screen

[daring fern]

if not card.area.config.collection

[broken rivet]

table.contains seems to not exist because my game crashed instantly

upon trying to view it in the collection

[faint yacht]

Yeah, 'tis not a out-of-the-box function here.

[broken rivet]

welp time to make a utility for it

[rare torrent]

im trying to make a joker that removes all stickers from other jokers, but it isn't working calculate = function(self, card, context) local jokers = G.jokers.cards for i, joker in ipairs(jokers) do self:apply(joker, false) end end

[broken rivet]

i also honestly considered adding my clamp and sign functions to lua's math library but i feel like that could result in mod conflicts or something

[daring fern]

When do you want to do it?

[faint yacht]

#💻・modding-dev message

[rare torrent]

ig every time you get a new joker

[daring fern]

if context.card_added and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker' then
    for k, v in pairs(SMODS.Stickers) do
        v:apply(context.card)
        for kk, vv in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            v:apply(vv)
        end
    end
end

[atomic edge]

can anyone please help me with this, i wanna extend the top part to be a little more to the right

as drawn

im messing around with shop ui and i cant get it to work

[rare torrent]

i mean it works, but if you buy a joker with a sticker it doesn't get removed imedietly, only if you buy another joker

[frail parcel]

question
how would i make a joker that adds a incredibly large number to a stat (+1e300 hand size) without having to write out that large number
ive tried having 2 values, a number and a power, and then doing this but it doesnt work

[daring fern]

1e300

[frail parcel]

huh

thats neat

this does not work

[broken rivet]

tbh i'd probably use a lower number
1e100 is already far greater than the number of atoms in the observable universe

[red flower]

also a big size is going to look really bad with a small quantity of cards

[daring fern]

It's 1e300 not 1e+300

[rocky plaza]

is the purpose of this to set the hand size to a really big number or just to have the hand size big enough to draw all cards to hand

[frail parcel]

the latter

[rocky plaza]

because unless you have a specific reason theres no reason not to just set the hand size to the number of cards in deck

and then dynamically update it

wait
oh the deck size can change 😭

but yeah theres got to be a better way to do it than just setting the number to 1e300 or something

[frail parcel]

i have changed it to 1e100
nothing has changed

[slim ferry]

just use a draw function

instead of making a fuckton of hand size

because precision will make your hand size go to 0 after you sell the joker like this

[broken rivet]

still gets debuffed

apply = function(self, card, val)
        card.ability[self.key] = val
        if card.ability[self.key] then
            card.ability.lem_preorder_tally = G.GAME.lem_preorder_rounds
            card.ability.lem_preorder_rounds = G.GAME.lem_preorder_rounds

            -- don't debuff this in the collection
            if not Lemniscate.table_contains(G.your_collection, card.area) then
                SMODS.debuff_card(card, true, self.key)
            end
        end
    end,

[frail parcel]

what is said draw function
im not good at this

[daring fern]

if context.first_hand_drawn then
    SMODS.draw_cards(#G.deck.cards)
end

[frosty rampart]

@broken rivet
(card.config.center_key == "c_base" and not card.children.front) checks if a card is an unenhanced "fake card", i.e. the card used to display stickers/etc in the collection. i have a sticker that also needed to not do something in the collection, so i just made it only do the thing if that condition was false

[broken rivet]

aren't there also mods that can allow you to have c_base as a card

[atomic edge]

someone pls im losing my mind

[frail parcel]

okay so the joker is not the problem

[frosty rampart]

i've never run across any situation where you could have a c_base card in-game that also doesn't have a front (i.e. the suit + rank)

[broken rivet]

or well a blank one

[daring fern]

if not G.SETTINGS.paused

[broken rivet]

i'm guessing something like entropy's blank cards still technically have a front

[frosty rampart]

you mean the nil rank/suit?

[broken rivet]

yea

[frosty rampart]

yea that's still a front

if there's no front then the card doesn't display anything on top of the base (e.g. stone cards, but enhancements aren't c_base anymore)

[broken rivet]

ye

[broken rivet]

this worked, ty

[lucid owl]

should SMODS.scale_card be used on effects to playing cards? like, for a joker that gives playing cards perma mult or something

just in terms of practice

[daring fern]

No.

[lucid owl]

alright, i figured you could use it in those cases but wasn't sure if that would be "correct"

[broken rivet]

do stakes not have loc_vars?

was gonna use a key return to make a toggleable blue stake rework

[slim ferry]

you could make it togglable, it would just require a restart

just take ownership of it based on a certain config value

[gilded goblet]

no 🥀

died when i figured that out

[broken rivet]

yea

just sucks that it needs that

[unkempt bronze]

Does anyone know how to swap the card designs?

I'm designing a whole new deck for context

[echo parrot]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local reverse_fool_c = G.GAME.tboj_last_tarot and G.P_CENTERS[G.GAME.tboj_last_tarot] or nil
        local reversal = nil
        local last_tarot = reverse_fool_c and localize { type = 'name_text', key = reverse_fool_c.key, set = reverse_fool_c.set } or
            localize('k_none')
        local colour = (not reverse_fool_c or reverse_fool_c.name == 'The Fool' or reverse_fool_c.name == 'The Fool?') and G.C.RED or G.C.GREEN
        
--more code here

        local main_end = {
            {
                n = G.UIT.C,
                config = { align = "bm", padding = 0.02 },
                nodes = {
                    {
                        n = G.UIT.C,
                        config = { align = "m", colour = colour, r = 0.05, padding = 0.05 },
                        nodes = {
                            { n = G.UIT.T, config = { text = ' ' .. last_tarot .. ' ', colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, scale = 0.3, shadow = true } },
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        return { vars = { reversal }, main_end = main_end }
    end,```

This mostly works, but for some reason the last used tarot color is incorrectly green instead of red when the last used tarot is 'The Fool?'

[slim ferry]

you should probably be checking reverse_fool_c.key, name is just a field that vanilla uses and wont exist unless you define it seperately (its not the same as the name from localization basically)

[echo parrot]

ah okay ty

it works now, thanks :)

[wicked leaf]

does anyone have good examples of jokers with an use button

I wanna make a hook for it but I have no good examples

[violet void]

Didnt you find a reference before? That one is a good way to do it

[wicked leaf]

yeah but it crashed the game for me

[violet void]

Whats the error? I can try to help as it worked for me

[wicked leaf]

completely unrelated error in line 777 of the entropy file

like not even IN my mod

just having it in my mod was causing a crash by entropy

[violet void]

What line of code did you take from the mod

[gusty compass]

Where can I get the full deck?

[wicked leaf]

the whole akyros part

of using and selling

plus the function where it starts

[dusty fractal]

how would you check if a card is scored inside of full_hand

[slim ferry]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[slim ferry]

is anything stopping you from just looping over scoring_hand instead

[dusty fractal]

nothing other than not wanting to do that if there is a simpler way, and that i need to account for the unscored cards as well

[violet void]

G.playing_cards

[gusty compass]

That works in SMODS.Back too I suppose?

[dusty fractal]

eh i figured out a better way to do it

by just subtracting full hand by scored cards and manually adjusting by the debuffed cards

cus debuffed cards dont count as scored cards normally, right?

[violet void]

These are the parts you need

First, your Joker with its id (prefix included)

Second, a hook for G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons(card)

And then the two functions (G.FUNCS.use= function(e) and G.FUNCS.can_use = function(e))

Can you send your code?

[wicked leaf]

no I just deleted it

im doing a different effect cuz I dont wanna bother rn

[violet void]

oh alr, you'll get it later 💪🏽

[wicked leaf]

i might just wait until like

the SMODS button function is ready

next release for sure

[violet void]

it's in the works?

[wicked leaf]

yeah its almost done apparently

one of the main things rn is adding controller binds to the buttons

[violet void]

that's pretty neat

[violet void]

not sure

[glossy comet]

hello, is there any reason why this shouldn't be working? in game the joker don't animate for whatever reason

[slim ferry]

joker animations are currently not supported, either wait for next smods release or use the system that was made for cryptid

[glossy comet]

oh i see

[wicked leaf]

cryptlib could have it right

[slim ferry]

it might

[wicked leaf]

where's the documentation for it anyway

[red river]

how can i make joker change its description to highlight certain words mid-run?

e.g. {C:inactive}Spades changing to {C:spades}Spades{C:inactive} if something happens

doing it through displaying variables doesn't seem to work

[latent perch]

you could instead use the colours field in your loc_vars return and return a custom colour depending on whether it's active or not

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#variablecustom-text-colour-modifier-v

[red river]

ooh, cool

thanks!

[latent perch]

np! :)

[broken rivet]

if Lemniscate.config.blue_stake_rework then
    SMODS.Stake:take_ownership("stake_blue", {
        modifiers = function()
            G.GAME.modifiers.enable_lem_preorder = true
        end
    })
end

this is causing the stake to be displayed as green stake instead of blue stake in the continue run tab (though it is still blue stake when i actually do continue it)

[pastel torrent]

having some issues trying to do custom boosters

    key = 'testbooster_dark',
    group_key = "k_dark_testbooster_group",
    atlas = 'Boosters', 
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    discovered = true,
    loc_txt= {
        name = '{C:red}TEST{} Booster pack',
        text = {"Pick {C:attention}1{} card out of",
                "{C:attention}3{} {C:red}TEST{} jokers!", },
        group_name = {"Lorem Ipsum"},
    },
    
    draw_hand = false,
    config = {
        extra = 3,
        choose = 1, 
    },

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.choose, card.ability.extra } }
    end,

    weight = 1,
    cost = 7,
    kind = "DarkHazardPack",
    
    create_card = function(self, card, i)
        ease_background_colour(HEX("ffac00"))
        SMODS.create_card({
            set = "jokersTest",
            area = G.pack_cards,
            skip_materialize = true,
            soulable = true,
        })
    end,
    select_card = 'jokers',

    in_pool = function() return true end
}```

[slim ferry]

ease_background_colour should not be in the create_card function, and you should not use SMODS.create_card either

just return the table of arguments and it gets passed into SMODS.add_card

[pastel torrent]

alr

will report

if anything happens

[pastel torrent]

welp

[slim ferry]

might not be related but select_card should either be G.jokers or just not there

also the in_pool function does nothing

[pastel torrent]

tried both

same error

[crystal perch]

how would i add a shader to a deck back? tried doing my usual draw step and it doesn't work. is it even possible?

[slim ferry]

hm, might be something im overlooking then

[pastel torrent]

found the issue

[slim ferry]

oh

[pastel torrent]

my create_card function

is just messed up

I SERIOUSLY need to lock the fuck in 💔

thanks for the help though

I appreciate!

[crystal perch]

btw for future reference if you press ctrl + c on the crash screen it copies the entire crash log to your clipboard so you can paste it

makes it a lot easier to diagnose issues

[pastel torrent]

oh alr

ty

noted!

[slim ferry]

the back isnt spawned as a card, you should just draw it on all cards with card.facing == "back" and then check the card's back sprite

i forget how to access the back sprite of a card but i hope thats enough

[crystal perch]

hrm i shall look on the docs

but thank you

[pastel torrent]

hold up

it wasnt the function

I mean

it was but

only one line

tried with set = "Playing Card"

worked

but not with mine

hm

[slim ferry]

set = "Playing Card" should work

are you sure youre like. actually returning the table

[pastel torrent]

it is

so like

im trying to do a custom pool

for a custom booster

giving well

custom jokers

[slim ferry]

what is the key in the ObjectType definition

[pastel torrent]

I do precise the pool though

[slim ferry]

did you actually create that pool with an SMODS.ObjectType

[pastel torrent]

ObjectType?

[pastel torrent]

ohhh

im stupid as shit

gimme a sec

[slim ferry]

yeah the pool wont exist just by adding it to jokers

[pastel torrent]

I though it like just assumed it does it

mb then

lemme try

[crystal perch]

got it working but uh

eyikes!

[red flower]

it would be cool if an objecttype was created automatically

maybe thats a thing for the tags pr

[crystal perch]

code

SMODS.DrawStep {
    key = 'chak_decks',
    order = 10,
    func = function(self)
        if G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == 'b_chak_draft' then
            self.children.center:draw_shader('booster', nil, self.ARGS.send_to_shader)
        end
    end,
    conditions = { vortex = false, facing = 'back' },
}

[slim ferry]

taglist...

[crystal perch]

oh that's funky

[slim ferry]

yeah thats just an issue with drawing shaders on backs iirc

[pastel torrent]

so the name should be "JokersTest" if I'm correct

just making sure

[slim ferry]

yeah

[pastel torrent]

alr

[slim ferry]

just make sure you use the same capitalization everywhere

since i saw different capitlization in some of your screenshots

[pastel torrent]

oh prob

I made sure

should be good

worked 😎

ty!

whats the base joker doing in there

anyways

it works so

not gonna complain

will look into it later

[slim ferry]

default card

because the pool ran out of cards to spawn

[pastel torrent]

alr

that good to note

ty!

[jolly shadow]

u can set a custom default card on ur booster

[slim ferry]

you can configure the default card for a pool

[jolly shadow]

^

[slim ferry]

if needed

[jolly shadow]

or if u dont want free copies of a card just leave it as jimbo

[crystal perch]

i may have just come up with the most hacky solution ever and just took a screenshot of the deck with the booster shader and applied it as a multiply layer in aseprite

but hey

[jolly shadow]

but why 😭 what was wrong with the previous solution

[crystal perch]

it works!

[crystal perch]

shader was not centered and you could see jokers through their back

(this is a deck btw not a booster)

[jolly shadow]

yea i can tell lol

for the first one u could just make sure it draws the shader in order of the deck's sorting

[crystal perch]

no it's a different issue

[jolly shadow]

but yhea idk why it does that on the other one

[crystal perch]

playing cards rotate depending on their position on the screen, deck backs don't

so the booster shader is rotating as if it was a playing card when it's not

[jolly shadow]

ohh

well you drew the shader on the center

not the back

[crystal perch]

you can tell more easily when you mouse over it and the shader tilts while the card back itself doesn't

[red flower]

i think you can set that in send_to_shader

[slim ferry]

maybe try looking at how cryptid does the shader for antimatter deck

thats the only mod i can think of with deck shaders

[crystal perch]

i could take a peek

[jolly shadow]

a quick look perhaps

[slim ferry]

lets take a look...

[wicked leaf]

Can I make a joker that makes all other jokers think an enhancement is a specific rank, with a return statement maybe?

[frosty rampart]

not until the quantum ranks PR is merged
(i mean technically probably you can do it now, but it'll be difficult and involve hooking/patching shit)

[slim ferry]

quantum ranks 😨

[wicked leaf]

I dont wanna paaaatch

it scary...

[slim ferry]

i mean you could also hook Card:get_id() if its replacing the base rank entirely

like cryptid abstract cards

[frosty rampart]

true

[broken rivet]

my sticker isn't even appearing in the shop 😭

[wicked leaf]

I do have cryptlib as a dependency

maybe I can use that

[slim ferry]

this isnt a cryptlib thing

you can do that anyway its just a function

[crystal perch]

so

[broken rivet]

if Lemniscate.config.blue_stake_rework then
    SMODS.Stake:take_ownership("stake_blue", {
        modifiers = function()
            G.GAME.modifiers.enable_lem_preorder = true
        end
    })
end

literally all the stake is doing

idk why this doesn't work

[crystal perch]

a bunch of bs is how

[frosty rampart]

show sticker code

[broken rivet]

or why the game seems to think blue stake is also green stake

[jolly shadow]

like can u not just change it to self.children.back

tho

[frosty rampart]

no clue about the green stake popping up but i might be able to help otherwise

[jolly shadow]

is what im wonderin

[crystal perch]

i'll try

    apply = function(self, card, val)
        card.ability[self.key] = val
        if card.ability[self.key] then
            card.ability.lem_preorder_tally = G.GAME.lem_preorder_rounds
            card.ability.lem_preorder_rounds = G.GAME.lem_preorder_rounds

            -- don't debuff this in the collection
            if not (card.config.center_key == "c_base" and not card.children.front) then
                SMODS.debuff_card(card, true, self.key)
            end
        end
    end,

    --[[lem_credits = {
        art = { "InvalidOS" },
        code = { "InvalidOS" },
        idea = { "InvalidOS" },
    },]]
}

also shows a completely white "ERROR" badge in-game but i suspect that's because of my mod's credit badge code

[crystal perch]

okay okay so the shader now takes the shape of the back i just have to disable the rotation

[jolly shadow]

this probably

[frosty rampart]

if you remove the and card.config.center.lem_preorder_compat part in should_apply, does it apply it to every card in the shop?

[broken rivet]

...oh

[jolly shadow]

replace self.ARGS.send_to_shader with {0, self.ARGS.send_to_shader[2]} maybe

[broken rivet]

somehow i thought smods would set that

[crystal perch]

i got it i'm looking at the draw_shader func

yippie!

[jolly shadow]

(card.config.center.lem_preorder_compat or false) ? or should every card be compatible with it by default

[jolly shadow]

o7

[frosty rampart]

actually wait hold on you have default_compat = true in the sticker already :clueless:

[jolly shadow]

looks great

[broken rivet]

yeah 😭

[jolly shadow]

i can read

[crystal perch]

however,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[broken rivet]

this is the first time i've tried adding both a sticker and a stake

so

[frosty rampart]

still try taking the compat check out? it might be that you just have the wrong name for it, idk

[jolly shadow]

ok hm

[broken rivet]

no yeah that worked

it appeared on everything

[crystal perch]

if you disable tilt for the shader, it'll look good on the deck view, but face down cards look pants
if you enable tilt for the shader, it'll look pants on the deck view, but face down cards look good

[jolly shadow]

youll have to change the shaders first arg to focus on the rotation of the back rather than the center

[broken rivet]

i'm guessing i should check for if the compat value is false

[crystal perch]

here's the current code

SMODS.DrawStep {
    key = 'chak_decks',
    order = 10,
    func = function(self)
        if G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == 'b_chak_draft' then
            self.children.back:draw_shader('booster', nil, self.ARGS.send_to_shader, true, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, false)
        end
    end,
    conditions = { vortex = false, facing = 'back' },
}

[broken rivet]

and also roll the appearance rate myself

[frosty rampart]

check if it exists and is true, or if it doesn't exist at all

and then yea you'll have to roll the appearance rate

[gaunt folio]

From last night but have another question ngl bc I’m not knowledgeable in this part lol

you need to enable the retrigger_joker optional feature and then use context.retrigger_joker_check (and don't use the cardarea or main_scoring checks)

Where do I paste the retrigger thing in? Anywhere in the doc? The joker? A seperate config file?

[crystal perch]

anywhere that gets loaded

[gaunt folio]

Aight

[crystal perch]

putting it in main.lua should be fine

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/The-Mod-Object#modoptional_features

[crystal perch]

-- Enable optional features
SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = {
  retrigger_joker = true
}

[jolly shadow]

local send_to_shader = { math.min(self.children.back.VT.r*3, 1) + G.TIMERS.REAL/(28) + (self.juice and self.juice.r*20 or 0) + self.tilt_var.amt, self.ARGS.send_to_shader[2]
}

might work?

[crystal perch]

just put that at the top of main

[gaunt folio]

Aight

[jolly shadow]

and then use that table in the draw shader

[wicked leaf]

context.beat_boss is a thing right?

[red flower]

yes

in context.end_of_round specifically

[jolly shadow]

keep in mind i am no expert and i am jus lookin thru source to try to solve this thing

[wicked leaf]

this should be right

[jolly shadow]

do you need context.end_of_round if there's context.beat_boss ?

[red flower]

not really but it's good practice because it might be used for another context later

[gaunt folio]

I use it, it exists, and it’s probably recommended as I do use so

[jolly shadow]

fair nuff was just wondering

[crystal perch]

where would i put this? cuz i put it in the draw step func and it seemingly had no effect

[jolly shadow]

you have to change self.ARGS.send_to_shader in your draw_shader call to just send_to_shader after putting the table before it

[crystal perch]

alright

hrm

[broken rivet]

got it working

[crystal perch]

so that stopped the shine from going crazy when you hover over the deck, but the cards still don't flip well

[jolly shadow]

thats awesome actually

[gilded goblet]

nice

[frosty rampart]

🔥 awesome

[gilded goblet]

we love to see new stickers

[broken rivet]

i might add an infoqueue that shows the joker info

[jolly shadow]

upd

[frosty rampart]

@gilded bramble what if we made a patch for this sticker

[broken rivet]

wdym

[frosty rampart]

starspace has "patches" that are like inverse positive versions of stickers

[broken rivet]

ah

discord moment

[jolly shadow]

that

[gilded goblet]

wtf that's so cool

[jolly shadow]

wouldnt you just

perishable

[broken rivet]

positive

[frosty rampart]

positive versions of stickers

[jolly shadow]

yea but

preorder is positive

[broken rivet]

it's not???

[jolly shadow]

how would u invert it

[broken rivet]

it debuffs the card

[frosty rampart]

that's why i pinged astro so we could brainstorm

[jolly shadow]

temporarily

[crystal perch]

preorder is more positive than perishable

any day

[jolly shadow]

exactly

[broken rivet]

it's part of a blue stake rework

[frosty rampart]

just because it's less worse than perishable doesn't mean it's outright good

[jolly shadow]

yea but im saying how would u do an inverse of it

[crystal perch]

it's buffed for 2 rounds?

maybe?

[frosty rampart]

yea that's what we're trying to figure out rn
i thought it was a cool sticker and i wanna crossmod but i don't have an exact idea yet

[hushed field]

pre order bonuses

[crystal perch]

anyway the shader is still not changing, i think maybe the other args in draw_shader may be overriding it?

SMODS.DrawStep {
    key = 'chak_decks',
    order = 10,
    func = function(self)
        if G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == 'b_chak_draft' then
            local send_to_shader = { math.min(self.children.back.VT.r*3, 1) + G.TIMERS.REAL/(28) + (self.juice and self.juice.r*20 or 0) + self.tilt_var.amt, self.ARGS.send_to_shader[2]}
            self.children.back:draw_shader('booster', nil, send_to_shader, true, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, false)
        end
    end,
    conditions = { vortex = false, facing = 'back' },
}

[queen crescent]

dawg what is this

[crystal perch]

a deck

[frosty rampart]

upgrades its edition for the first two rounds maybe

[crystal perch]

yeah i see

[whole linden]

Crap sorry i completely crashed and fell asleep sorry to anyone who wanted to help me yesterday

[clear ocean]

its okay kennit the tart

[crystal perch]

so having "true, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, false" makes it look good in the deck space, but makes flipped cards look pants
removing "true, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, false" makes it look pants in the deck space, but makes flipped cards look good

[clear ocean]

pants?

[broken rivet]

my mod is currently unreleased but knowing people will make crossmod is awesome
it might also possibly end up in cryptid though

[crystal perch]

bad

[clear ocean]

just say bad

[broken rivet]

i know something like it was in the csd

[clear ocean]

counter-strike discord...

[broken rivet]

cryptid suggestions doc

[frosty rampart]

i see
either way it'll be cool

[clear ocean]

that's even worse

[broken rivet]

true

[clear ocean]

plant the bomb at site c(ryptid)

[broken rivet]

many horrors in there

[whole linden]

If i can ask does anyone know if the tailsman mod is broken/outdated because it keeps crashing my game and this is the error i keep getting
https://docs.google.com/document/d/11O707NiaCQlxjFuYxxMzyWGyAJ-58_YO1671A3gPwEw/edit?usp=sharing

[broken rivet]

either way i'll just take ownership of the cryptid one and make it Not Exist because mine is objectively more awesome on account of not being cryptid

[jolly shadow]

based

[clear ocean]

not the google doc for your crash you can send it as a txt file on discord

uh make sure you updated tailsman

[crystal perch]

honestly i think i'll just change the shader based on the cardarea

[whole linden]

Whats the current version?

[clear ocean]

2.5

[jolly shadow]

fair enoughj

[slim ferry]

just paste the crash log man, people need access to google docs

also did you do this https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#why-do-i-get-attempt-to-compare-number-with-table-when-talisman-is-installed

[clear ocean]

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Talisman/releases/tag/v2.5 according to its github

[whole linden]

Alright will try that version brb (for context im on Android for discord junk)

[clear ocean]

i mean if you are comfortable you can create a github or gitlab account and link your mod repo

its a good way to version control

[wicked leaf]

how do you make a joker change its own edition?

[slim ferry]

card:set_edition(<key>)

[crystal perch]

how would i get a card's cardarea while only having it's self to reference

[slim ferry]

Card.area

[crystal perch]

hrm

[whole linden]

Alright so just looked and i am using the recent version of the mod (also idk how to txt the crash log here since im not really using discord for this junk lol)

[crystal perch]

btw that worked thank you

but also what's the card area for this area called?

is it deck?

[slim ferry]

G.deck

[crystal perch]

amazing

thank you

[whole linden]

It is the recent version any other suggestions? (And yes i checked)

[crystal perch]

shader's working very nicely

this is why i don't use cryptid as a reference cuz it's so ancient 😭

if i had done the cryptid method instead of a simple drawstep i wouldve killed myself

the only problem is that in the main menu it has no shader, but in a run all the decks have the shader

though this may just be a galdur problem

it's not just a galdur problem

i think the issue is that it's checking for the current game selected back instead of each card's selected back, so it's applying it to every deck if you're playing the selected back

[wicked leaf]

trying to do smth and its not quite workin

[red flower]

should be lowercase card

[wicked leaf]

lemme try

[whole linden]

Alright i think this is the best i can do for the crash log sorry if its not perfect but best i can do atm

[red flower]

why is it pdf 😭

that looks like a talisman issue

[whole linden]

And its the current version so im just stuck and confused

[crystal perch]

post an issue to the github then

[red flower]

it says 2.3 in the log and the link earlier says 2.5

[whole linden]

And yet when i try to download the mod my computer says i already have the file downloaded by the extra (1) in the name

[red flower]

the file is always named Talisman.zip

[crystal perch]

anyone know the name of the cardarea for this deck in New Run

[whole linden]

Should i do like a photo step by step just to make sure im doing everything right?

[red flower]

i dont think that's necessary, just delete the old folder and unzip the new one in

[whole linden]

Fine brb

Ok so downloaded and unzipped everything and put in the mods folder and gonna give a test game (proof to see I've downloaded the right version sorry if its crap Android camera)

[crystal perch]

why can't you use discord on your computer again?

[whole linden]

My computer is a laptop/lemon it can barely run 2gb games lol (its old)

[crystal perch]

use the discord website then

discord.app

[whole linden]

Well nvm it seems like the mod is finally working i am gonna test it using other mods like cryptid/pokermon just to be safe (this is very tiresome why do people mod <:3

And now lovey is having a fit great apparently its going though a syntax error with a card or something (maybe a file got damaged in the log/dump) update im stupid because it might be trying to load cryptid pokermon and undertale/deltarune mod all at once

[stone dagger]

Hello, anyone know why I get this error when I try to call SMODS.create_card?

local _card = max_played_card
            if (max_played_card.ability and max_played_card.ability.set == "Enhanced") then
                _card = SMODS.create_card { set = max_played_card.ability.set, enhancement = max_played_card.ability.name, seal = "Red", edition = 'e_polychrome', rank = max_played_card.base.value, suit = max_played_card.base.suit,  area = G.discard }
            else
                _card = SMODS.create_card { set = "Basic", seal = "Red", edition = 'e_polychrome', rank = max_played_card.base.value, suit = max_played_card.base.suit,  area = G.discard }
            end

[red flower]

it should be Base not Basic

in the first one I would also recommend using Base to not accidentally apply an enhancement twice

[stone dagger]

thank you

[red flower]

oh and the enhancement should be max_played_card.config.center.key

[real crown]

Why does this say table index is nil? When I iterate through the vouchers and print their keys, this is literally the key that is used there:
G.GAME.banned_keys[v_tarot_merchant] = true

[red flower]

the string should be in quotes

[real crown]

Ahhh makes sense, thank you!

Weirdly the voucher is still not getting banned, I tried it with both G.GAME.banned_keys['v_tarot_merchant'] = true and G.GAME.banned_keys["v_tarot_merchant"] = true, but the vouchers I try to ban this way just don't get banned
They're inside the apply function of an SMODS.Back by the way, setting joker rates and other stuff works, just not the voucher bans

[real crown]

I iterated through the voucher pool and banned keys that way, it's still not working
I'm assuming banned_keys doesn't apply to vouchers then? Is there a banned vouchers list? banned_vouchers didn't work

[red flower]

yeah looking at the code i don't think vouchers check for that but i might be wrong

it should because it works for challenges so idk

[stuck ore]

Quick question, is there a way to have a message trigger and originate from a joker adjacent to the trigger joker (I.E. is there a card = card variant that would make a different joker have the message)

[daring fern]

message_card

[stuck ore]

So when written its "card = message_card"?

[daring fern]

No, it's message_card = adifferentcard

[stuck ore]

Ah gotcha thanks

[red flower]

it's not recommended to use card = at all

it's something smods handles internally

[wind steppe]

what function is used to spawn vouchers in the shop (not picking them but actually making them appear)

[loud summit]

i believe its just in the generic "setup shop" code

you can look at how ortalab does its chalupa pack tag tho?

if you wanted to clear/interact with it i think its also a cardarea

[wintry solar]

SMODS.add_voucher_to_shop

[stuck ore]

If I’m trying to make a joker spawn in one specific joker after a number of rounds, what would be the code for spawning in the joker?

[wind steppe]

SMODS.add_card{key = "the key of the joker you want to spawn, including object and mod prefix"}

so for oops all sixes itd be j_oops

for example

[stuck ore]

Gotcha thanks

[solemn shuttle]

holy crap its actually so much easier than i thoguht 😭

Profit

[lucid owl]

is context.post_trigger not a thing in blind calculate?

[winter flower]

is post_trigger on?

[lucid owl]

god damn it

i had turned it on earlier but removed it after i thought i didn't need it 😭

[vale zinc]

How do I determine if a single Joker does or does not have an Edition? I looked in the code and saw that Wheel of Fortune uses SMODS.Edition:get_edition_cards(G.jokers, true) to specify, but would get_edition_cards() be able to specify only one Joker if a single card was passed as the first argument?

[wind steppe]

You can just check card.edition. Itll be nil if it has no edition

[vale zinc]

So, would card.edition(G.jokers.cards[1]) work? I don't know the proper syntax for these things.

[frosty rampart]

no

generally when someone says to check card.[something], the "card" is a placeholder for whatever card object you're trying to use

so in your case, G.jokers.cards[1].edition would check if the leftmost joker has an edition (and if it does, it would also specify what that edition is)

[vale zinc]

That helped. Thanks, Meta.

[mellow lotus]

Hey all, starting to tinker with the idea of modding the game. I don't wanna ask questions that have been said to death here, but I'm wondering if there's any documentation available RE the audio engine of LOVE2D / Balatro? I'm a PhD audio tech student and that's my primary area of tinkering

tbh I just need a productive hobby and a dumb mod sounds up my street

like a stupid idea I'd want to look into: the mult of each score plays a sinwave at that frequency. If I can do something like that within Lua I can pretty much do everything I wanna

[wind steppe]

I dont think balatro does any modifications to love2d audio system so i'd say a search engine is your friend here

not google though use like. firefox or something

[stuck ore]

I mean fastest way to have a correct answer is by guessing and someone correcting me but I think if you access the games files through the browse local files in steam you can open up and within the resources folder find sounds and change the sound files by making a new one and replacing the old one by renaming your new file to the same name

This is a hypothetical, I haven't yet done something like that

[versed swan]

https://www.love2d.org/wiki/Tutorial:Audio Here is some rundown on using audio in Love2d; it's an audio file playback system with options to manipulate playback

[stuck ore]

Also what does error: attempt to index local 'center' [a nil value] mean?

[mellow lotus]

Oh dope, that seems straight forward enough if there's nothing additional!

[jolly shadow]

tried to index center when its nil obviously

[mellow lotus]

Yeah that is one method. Something I know is possible is adjusting the playback speed (like during the gameover stuff). Ideally I'd want to add a soft-synth that can be triggered via LOVE2D which I can easily whip up in C++/whatever. Unsure how that is done in Lua though

[stuck ore]

of course, you of in the out hot of which you in the cold food to out eat the in out hot of the food from the in out oven

[mellow lotus]

tah!!

[wind steppe]

trying to access the local variable center as if it's a table when it's nil

not really much simpler it gets

[mellow lotus]

ahah if i'm reading this right, balatro could play soundfonts

[atomic edge]

how do i hook Game:update_shop(dt)

[crystal perch]

anyone know how to make get_enhancements less laggy? i got a stack overflow from a joker whose effect is literally just this:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.check_enhancement and context.other_card.base.suit == "Diamonds" then
            return {
                m_gold = true
            }
        end
    end

(though to be fair my entire deck was steel diamonds)

[crystal perch]

should be

local update_shop_ref = Game.update_shop
function Game:update_shop(dt)
  local ret = update_shop_ref(dt)
  -- whatever code you want
  return ret
end

[urban wasp]

would this work as a hook for the box from cryptid to add another rarity that it debuffs?

-- make the box debuff plentiful jokers too
local og_box_debuff = SMODS.Blind.cry_box.recalc_debuff
og_box_debuff = function(self, card, from_blind)
    if og_box_debuff and og_box_debuff(self, card, from_blind) then
        return true
    end
    return card.config.center.rarity == "crp_plentiful"
end

sorry if i sound weird it's late lol

[umbral zodiac]

probably want to set the function directly rather than using the variable just for clarity but i think it'd be fine

[crystal perch]

remember to return og_box_debuff

unless?

idk as long as it works

[urban wasp]

uh nevermind i guess?

[wind steppe]

i think youre returning debuff_card = true not just true

[crystal perch]

here

yeah

[wind steppe]

same as standard blind stuff

[umbral zodiac]

probably SMODS.Blinds

[urban wasp]

oh yeah true

[daring fern]

Yes, you could do the quantum enhancements yourself.

[crystal perch]

main thing is i want them to be compatible with anything that would interact with gold cards

like golden ticket, etc

without manually making those clauses

[wind steppe]

thats the consequence of quantum enhancements unfortunately

[urban wasp]

nope!

[umbral zodiac]

you also forgot bl_

[urban wasp]

okay yeah that makes more sense 😭

[daring fern]

Yes, if you did it yourself it would have less lag and it would do that.

[crystal perch]

sounds like i gotta learn how to recreate quantum enhancements now..

[urban wasp]

it doesn't crash but also doesn't debuff plentiful rarities what else am i missing

-- make the box debuff plentiful jokers too
local og_box_debuff = SMODS.Blinds.bl_cry_box.recalc_debuff
og_box_debuff = function(self, card, from_blind)
    if og_box_debuff and og_box_debuff(self, card, from_blind) then
        return true
    end
    return card.config.center.rarity == "crp_plentiful"

[umbral zodiac]

try using the recalc_debuff itself instead of setting the variable

[wind steppe]

@urban wasp

^

[urban wasp]

i got a syntax error when doing that earlier

[crystal perch]

thank you mr seals on every

[wind steppe]

you did put it in brackets right

[urban wasp]

no i'll do that

forgot lol

is autocomplete correct here

or should it just be the first

[wind steppe]

yeah seems good

[urban wasp]

mmm still doesn't seem to affect them

-- make the box debuff plentiful jokers too
local og_box_debuff = SMODS.Blinds.bl_cry_box.recalc_debuff
og_box_debuff = function(self, card, from_blind)

        }
    end
    return {
        debuff_card = card.config.center.rarity == "crp_plentiful"
    }
end

[round lion]

how am i meant to use draw function on cards

jokers i mean

[daring fern]

You should be using take_ownership

[urban wasp]

must i? i feel like a hook might be better

i mean idk what "better" is but

[daring fern]

No, you can use both.

[urban wasp]

mm okay

it's probably easier anyway

[wind steppe]

also you are starting a new run every time right

[urban wasp]

yes

[wind steppe]

oh wait

[daring fern]

You're defining the old function instead of the actual function.

[wind steppe]

you're redefining your local variable

not the actual. thing it checks for

[urban wasp]

is that not the same

[umbral zodiac]

me when this is what i said earlier

[urban wasp]

er actually

i see

[wind steppe]

no

[urban wasp]

i see i see

[urban wasp]

i thought you just meant for like clarification lol

[wind steppe]

thats what makes hooks work

otherwise thatd be infinite recursion

which is. Bad™

[urban wasp]

oh

-- make the box debuff plentiful jokers too
local og_box_debuff = SMODS.Blinds.bl_cry_box.recalc_debuff
SMODS.Blinds.bl_cry_box.recalc_debuff = function(self, card, from_blind)
    if og_box_debuff and og_box_debuff(self, card, from_blind) then
        return {
            debuff_card = true
        }
    end
    return {
        debuff_card = card.config.center.rarity == "crp_plentiful"
    }
end

[umbral zodiac]

i think you might have been silly paradox

[wind steppe]

wdym

[umbral zodiac]

i assume it doesnt need a table it just needs a bool and its seeing the table and goes "welp. tables are truthy. go ahead. be debuffed"

[urban wasp]

"tables are truthy" yes i see your vision

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[wind steppe]

why return debuff_card in a standard blind definition then

[urban wasp]

guys it's fine i gotta learn this one day

[umbral zodiac]

if you need proof simply if {} then print("tables are true...") end in your debugplus console,,

[urban wasp]

insert true... emoji here

yay it worked without tables

[wind steppe]

oh damn

why are we returning debuff_card = true

like ever

[umbral zodiac]

sin

[wind steppe]

have i been lied to

[stuck ore]

In response to this SMODS.add_card{key = "the key of the joker you want to spawn, including object and mod prefix"} what are the object and prefixes because I believe the issue I'm having is that I'm not setting them

[daring fern]

j_modprefix_key

[stuck ore]

So how would I set that? currently its nil

[daring fern]

Set what?

[stuck ore]

The object and prefixes

Sorry I feel like I'm misunderstanding

[daring fern]

You set the mod prefix in your metadata.

You don't set the class prefix.

[stuck ore]

So it would be like SMODS.add_card{key= "jokername", "modname"}?
I feel foolish

[daring fern]

No, it's j_yourmodprefix_key

[urban wasp]

why exactly does this crash? the given line is

self.ability.invis_rounds = self.ability.invis_rounds + 1

sorry if this is like unreadable it's pretty big 😭

[daring fern]

self is the center, card is the card.

[urban wasp]

so it should be card instead of self

[daring fern]

Yes.

[urban wasp]

okay easy fix

[royal yarrow]

im trying to make a joker that increases its mult value each round and if a card is destroyed (in any way) the molt resets to 0, any ideas how to fix? (destroying cards doesnt seem to trigger the effect i want, but it does scale at least)

--Code
config = { extra = { Xmult = 1, Xmult_mod = 0.25 } },

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod, card.ability.extra.Xmult } }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind then
            card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod

            return {

                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } }

            }

            -- i think the above says what the mult is when the blind starts
        end

        if context.joker_main then
            return {

                Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult

            }
        end

        if context.removed_card then
            card.ability.extra.Xmult = 1

            message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } }

            
        end
    end```

whoops, i shoulda condensed that but idk how

[daring fern]

Yes, because it's (context.joker_type_destroyed or context.remove_playing_cards)

[daring fern]

```lua
-- Code
```

[royal yarrow]

ohhh thank you

[wicked leaf]

how do you disable a joker from appearing naturally?

[stuck ore]

how do you find the center of a joker or is that just the key?

[daring fern]

in_pool = function() return false end

[daring fern]

G.P_CENTERS.j_modprefix_key

[hollow horizon]

I have a bit of a problem with fusing my jokers. Nothing happens even if both needed jokers are present. Someone sees what could be the problem here?

[real crown]

What's the context for opening shop?

[manic rune]

it should be card.config.center.key, not card.ability.name

[daring fern]

if next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key1')) and next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key2')) then
    local jokers = {SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key1')[1], SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key2')[1]}
    SMODS.destroy_cards(jokers)
    SMODS.add_card({key = 'j_modprefix_key3'})
end

[hollow horizon]

oh that's 100 times easier

[real crown]

Is there a context for rerolling that applies before reroll?
So if I ban planet cards when I reroll, then I can't reroll into them? Now with context.reroll_shop the first reroll can still reroll into planet

[daring fern]

Hook G.FUNCS.reroll_shop

[wicked leaf]

hmmm today I will use quantum enhancements

[granite jay]

Is there a way to make it so jokers are triggered by cards that don't score?

[daring fern]

if context.cardarea == 'unscored'

[wicked leaf]

ive seen a few mods do things for unscored cards

[granite jay]

thanks

[wicked leaf]

how would I use get_id() in a hook to tell an enchancement to be considered a specific rank ?

[daring fern]

local oldcardgetid = Card.get_id
function Card:get_id()
    if SMODS.has_enhancement(self, 'm_modprefix_key') then
        return id
    end
    return oldcardgetid(self)
end

[wicked leaf]

I replace id with the rank, right?

[daring fern]

No, you replace it with the ranks id

[wicked leaf]

So if its a jack, would it be 11 (the order), J (the card's key) or Jack (the key)?

[daring fern]

No, 11 is the id

[wicked leaf]

got it

[wicked leaf]

I know quantum enhancements are wonky, so would this cause a loop?

[daring fern]

context.other_card.config.center.key == 'm_gold'

[wicked leaf]

thank you

[wicked leaf]

can create_card / add_card add only a specific joker?

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({key = 'j_modprefix_key'})

[wicked leaf]

thankuu

[lament agate]

if i wanted to change the vanilla jokers description, is it loc_txt or an actual localization?

[hushed field]

Is it SMODS that adds the from_quantum parameter to card objects?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

You would redefine the localization.

[lament agate]

how would i do that

[daring fern]

j_key = {
    name = 'New Name',
    text = {
        'New Description'
    }
}
``` In `Localization > descriptions > Joker`

[lament agate]

thanks

                    }
            }

why is this not working?

[faint yacht]

return {
  func = function()
    SMODS.add_card{ key = planet, set = "Planet", edition = "e_negative" }
  end
}

[wicked leaf]

how do you SET the mult to something? I know return mult increases it but I'm not sure how to set it directly

[lavish elm]

it still creates a random planet not the current hand planet

[faint yacht]

mod_mult(amount)

[wicked leaf]

like this?

[faint yacht]

return { func = function() mod_mult(amount) end }

-# iirc, anyway.

[final jewel]

yeah you dont need do end end around return

[lavish elm]

Figured it out

[wicked leaf]

its one of the quick fixes it gives me

[faint yacht]

Was more speaking about mod_mult & mod_chips functionality.

[wicked leaf]

otherwise its giving me an error

[final jewel]

I think its because you place an if directly after the return

[wicked leaf]

do I have to place it before that?

[final jewel]

yeah

the return is the last thing

[wicked leaf]

got it

[final jewel]

technicly you could place the if in the func

like
return {
func = function()
mod_mult() = xxx
if xxx = xxx then
xxxxxxxx
end
end
}

What is the c_base equivalent for _card:get_seal()

[faint yacht]

nil

_card.seal will be nil if no seal is present.

[final jewel]

if _card.seal ~= nil then
or
if _card.get_seal() ~= nil then

[loud summit]

hey

how do move cards from the discard pile to the top of the draw pile

and would it be safe to do so in a discard context

[flat cypress]

does anybody have a copy of the vanilla negative shader? I want to poke around and figure out once and for all what the heck is going on with the color math there (I dont have access to my game files rn)

[faint yacht]

Sounds like hooking antics and changing the target of draw to the deck... as well as having the discarded cards "marked" and them reshuffled and remove the mark.

[loud summit]

great,

[atomic edge]

is there a function that changes the background color as well as the color dyn_ui.boss_main

?

[daring fern]

ease_background_colour

[daring fern]

Is it possible for a mod to handle multiple separate config files?

ya i stole from both daggers

[loud summit]

why are you usijg create_card

use SMODS.add_card it handles emplacing and stuff

[pastel kernel]

k

 local eternalreward = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker, pseudoseed('spytf2')).key
            SMODS.add_card({ key = "eternalreward", edition = 'e_negative' })
            return nil, true```

[loud summit]

alsp for pseudorandom_element, the second entry can be any string

[pastel kernel]

any string

[loud summit]

it doesnt matter beyond debugging i believe

yeah

[pastel kernel]

so SMODS.Rarities?

[loud summit]

no i mean

the second arg

[pastel kernel]

element?

[loud summit]

where u put pseudoseed

[pastel kernel]

oh

[loud summit]

yea it can be any string

[pastel kernel]

pseudoseed (SMODS.Rarities))?

[loud summit]

no remove pseudoseed

[lucid owl]

they mean that you don't need to call pseudoseed and can instead just enter any string

[loud summit]

yeah

[lucid owl]

it'll be converted to a pseudoseed automatically if it hasn't been

smods adds that afaik

[pastel kernel]

(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker, SMODS.Rarities)?

[loud summit]

thats a table

[lucid owl]

why are you putting rarities there

[minor magnet]

is there a quick way to reload all of my mod's centers?

[pastel kernel]

candy suggested i use SMODS.Rarities for some reason

but idk where

[wind steppe]

also you're not actually creating eternalreward

[lucid owl]

just put 'spytf2' like you did before without the pseudoseed

[wind steppe]

you're returning the string eternalreward corresponding to a card that doesn't exist

instead of the variable

[loud summit]

i was saying it would make it more balnced to like have it pick a rarity to spawn instead of a random joker since you wanted it to be busted

[faint yacht]

function pseudorandom_element(_t, seed, args)
    if seed and type(seed) == "string" then seed = pseudoseed(seed) end

[pastel kernel]

i forgot you don't use quotes on key

[lucid owl]

yeah

strings are automatically turned into pseudseeds

[pastel kernel]

hmmlua local eternalreward = pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Rarities, 'spytf2').key SMODS.add_card({ key = eternalreward, edition = 'e_negative' }) return nil, true

like this?

[loud summit]

if you wanted to do that, youd do local _, key = pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Rarities, "spytf2") SMODS.add_card { set = "Joker", rarity = key }

[loud summit]

yea

[lucid owl]

you can't enter the key of a rarity to get a joker

[lucid owl]

do this

[minor magnet]

?

[lucid owl]

key is an argument for the key of a joker/center

[loud summit]

yea thats if youre trying to spawn a specific joker

[pastel kernel]

rarity = key, do i keep it that way?

[daring fern]

No.

[pastel kernel]

⌚

[lucid owl]

correct

[lucid owl]

assuming you have it like this

[pastel kernel]

ok so

            if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then

            return nil, true
            end
        end```

is it good now?

oh yeah

i forgot to remove the comment from dagger

since i stole it from vremade

⌚

[loud summit]

seems good

one last thing again since this is supposed to be "busted"

you could make it not spawn cursed jokers

by putting if key == "cry_cursed" then key = "cry_exotic" end after the pseudorandom_element call

[pastel kernel]

if key == “cry_cursed” then key = “entr_entropic” end

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[pastel kernel]

Ok so

The main reason why I made spy tf2 was to combat cursed jokers

What they suggested was

To replace cursed jokers with exotic jokers

If detected that is

[pastel kernel]

you mean here?

local _, key = pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Rarities, "spytf2") --here--
                SMODS.add_card { set = "Joker", rarity = key }```

[loud summit]

yea

[wind steppe]

this would cause issues if you have cryptid and not entropy

[loud summit]

oh yea true

[pastel kernel]

Fair nuff

BUT

cursed IS a cryptid rarity

Right?

[loud summit]

yeah

[pastel kernel]

Oh wait

[loud summit]

its CRY_cursed

[pastel kernel]

Right

I forgot

Then it’s still cry_exotic

Ok so spy breaks

When I try selecting a blind

With another joker

[loud summit]

:(

[pastel kernel]

It doesn’t even give any “oops the game crashed” or something

WTF

REMOVING SPY BREAKS THE GAME??

Maybe it’s the placement of the local my_pos

IT WORK

[pastel kernel]

How do I apply multiple lines of these?

[long urchin]

how do i change the """"size"""" of a joker? like, when its flipped, how do i make it a square or whatever yknow

cuz i have some nonstandard joker sizes

[pastel kernel]

Candycane?

[slim ferry]

display_size is at what size the sprite should show ingame, pixel_size is the size of the sprite on the atlas which tells the game how much of the sprite to use

[atomic edge]

if im patching a new texture path into the game how do i specify the folder it is in?

or can i just put imagename.png

[slim ferry]

why are you patching images into the game

[atomic edge]

i want to change the shop sign

dynamically

[slim ferry]

i cant imagine you would have to patch the texture files for that

try looking at how tangents changes the shop sign

[atomic edge]

the shop sign is a texure

its not ui

thanks

[slim ferry]

yes

[atomic edge]

missunderstood you

[final jewel]

Guys I currently have this and it doesnt seems to work

[minor magnet]

how do i make it so this variable is kept between reloads?

stupid question ik

[slim ferry]

store in card.ability

[minor magnet]

thanks

[long urchin]

how would i apply pixel_size to a joker that already exists? Im changing egg and stencil to be custom models with their own sizes

[slim ferry]

you should probably ask the malverk thread about that

[long urchin]

alr

[slim ferry]

actualyl

ig you could take_ownership but that would be wierd with the texture pack disabled

[long urchin]

ill ask malverk

which thread is that? I searched up malverk in #1209506514763522108 but i cant find it

[slim ferry]

#1300851004186820690

[long urchin]

ty

[loud summit]

sorry back

wdym multiple, just copy paste the line

[pastel kernel]

Oh

Would it crash if I use the joker without cryptid?

[faint yacht]

If Cryptid won't be present during the check, those will just fail.

[pastel kernel]

They’ll be ignored?

[atomic edge]

can you dissolve something and just hide it?

and not destroy the element

Could one of you tell me how to specify a random Tag? Diet Cola uses add_tag(Tag('tag_double')) to specify a Double Tag in particular, but can this be modified to produce a random Tag?

[round lion]

particles keep crashing.

(before yall hound me for using a development version, this happens even on stable.)

[slim ferry]

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

[tepid crow]

Yo what's up Lapsem, been seeing you on the balatro wiki. As for your question, there's get_next_tag_key which is probably what you're looking for?

[vale zinc]

Well, if only I knew how to use that.

[slim ferry]

get_next_tag_key would interfere with the main tag spawns i imagine

since itll use the same queue

[rough furnace]

DebugPlus

[tepid crow]

there's the append arg, does that not circumvent that issue?

[slim ferry]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i have no clue i only knew about the vanillaremade way of getting a random tag

[red flower]

yeah i imagine you just do what Card:start_dissolve does but with self.states.visible = false instead of self:remove

[tepid crow]

I don't know either! You can find the code for it at functions/common_events.lua:1914, and my guess is that you'll need to format it like add_tag(Tag(get_next_tag_key("modprefix_seed")))

[atomic edge]

okay thanks

[warm ore]

anyone able to help with this

[frosty rampart]

looking at your screenshots of the code, you never defined any icon atlases

remove the suit_icon = { ... } lines

and see if that works

[frosty rampart]

you did not remove all the suit_icon = { ... } lines

[warm ore]

?

[frosty rampart]

did you. save the file?

[warm ore]

yeah

[frosty rampart]

it doesn't seem like you did

there is literally no way for the error to say anything about icon_lc if icon_lc isn't anywhere in your file

[warm ore]

wait i resaved it and it still crashed but i think this is a new error

[frosty rampart]

delete line 27

[prisma loom]

Folks, how could I check what current Ante is? Like for exmaple «if current Ante is 6»?

in terms of context

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.current_round.round_resets.ante iirc

if that doesnt work then try blind_ante instead of ante

[warm ore]

ok i got it in the game now i just need to actually figure out how to add it to the cards

[prisma loom]

🌻

Thanks!

[frosty rampart]

now go to the Customize Deck options

[warm ore]

im here

[hallow slate]

{ n = G.UIT.O, config = { object = G.GAME.blind, draw_layer = 1 } },
{ n = G.UIT.O, config = { object = G.GAME.blind, draw_layer = 2 } },

How come the first one shows up in the create_UIBox_HUD_blind function, but not the second?

[frosty rampart]

the Hearts suit should have a new option

[frosty rampart]

hrm

[warm ore]

is this because of the altered pixel size

[frosty rampart]

not sure

again i'm in class rn so i can't help much

[warm ore]

fair

Im gonna try something

[daring fern]

No, it's G.GAME.round_resets.ante

[slim ferry]

try turning off pixel smooting in your settings if you have that on and see if it shows then

[warm ore]

well thats interesting

i changed it back to 71x95 and it did this

[slim ferry]

yeah uhhhhh

you should probably keep the dimensions the same lol

[warm ore]

the entire reason im making this mod in the first place is to change the dimensions to make the cards high quality

[red river]

i made a joker a while ago that sets the card's seal to gold before it's scored, but it doesn't trigger the seal's ability

is there a way to fix that?

the code for calculate looks like this

    if context.before and not context.blueprint and #context.full_hand == 1 and context.full_hand[1]:get_id() == 6 and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
      -- context.full_hand[1]:set_seal("Gold", nil, true)
      G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
          card:juice_up()
          context.full_hand[1]:juice_up()
          context.full_hand[1]:set_seal("Gold", nil, true)
          return true
        end
      }))
      return {
        message = "Gold Seal",
        colour = G.C.MONEY,
        message_card = card
      }
    end
  end```

[prisma loom]

👌

[daring fern]

Remove nil, true and move it out of the event.

[red river]

yeah it did work, but the seal gets set before the card finishes moving when played

which... doesn't look great

[warm ore]

Is it possible to change em tho

[slim ferry]

it should just work by default

deck skins are probably different then but ive never worked with them so i wouldnt know

[warm ore]

ok cause my plan is the png for the texture pack is 10x larger than normal so i want the card pixel size to also be 10x larger to match it

[gusty compass]

Where can I have decks store permanent data (eg from card.ability), since self.ability and card.ability seem to throw an error where the value is nil

[slim ferry]

just store it in G.GAME

[red flower]

deck.effect.config iirc

i think deck.effect just works too

[slim ferry]

isnt deck.effect.config the center's config

[faint yacht]

G.GAME.selected_back?

[gusty compass]

Since I'm running it on calculate, and using a config to set a persistent value like jokers do

[red flower]

maybe but thats what eremel said in the write up :3

[gusty compass]

Idk if they carry similar params

[red flower]

deck.effect should work i think

[gusty compass]

Deck.effect?

Like deck.effect.multi?

[red flower]

yeah

[gusty compass]

I'll see

[red flower]

deck should be the second argument of calculate in this case

[gusty compass]

Not self, card, context?

Alr one sec

[red flower]

well they can be named john, sue, alvin if you want lol

[faint yacht]

The card is equal to the deck itself.

[red flower]

but self, deck, context is what makes sense there

[gusty compass]

Fair enough

Nope...

"attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'multi' (a nil value)"

[faint yacht]

For my "Deck! Deck! Deck!"...

calculate = function(self, back, context)
    if context.before then back.effect.config.repeatamount = G.jokers.cards and #G.jokers.cards or 0 end
    ...

You should also start a fresh run to initialize the value.

[gusty compass]

Kk

[red flower]

yeah ok just tested and you can modify that value without affecting the center so it should work ok

[gusty compass]

Well the crash is gone, but the effect is just dead

It's not removing the enhancements of the entire deck which is a shame

[red flower]

whats the code

[gusty compass]

One second

Probably I'm just being stupid and I don't get the message

[daring fern]

What is your SMODS version?

[gusty compass]

    key = "GG_vampiricdeck",
    atlas = "atlasholders",
    pos = {
        x = 4,
        y = 2
    },

    config = {
        multi = 0
    },

    loc_txt = {
        name = "Vampiric Deck",
        text = {
            "At the end of ante",
            "remove all {C:attention}Enhancements{},",
            "gain {C:mult}+2{} Mult for every",
            "{C:attention}Enhancement{} removed."
        }
    },

    calculate = function(self, deck, context)
        if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss then
            local cards = G.playing_cards

            -- fix this shit later idk
            for i = 1, #cards do
                if cards[i].ability.name ~= "Default Base" then
                    cards[i].ability.name = "Default Base"
                    deck.effect.config.multi = deck.effect.config.multi + 2
                end
            end
        end

        if context.pre_joker then
            return {
                mult = deck.effect.config.multi
            }
        end
    end
} ```

[red flower]

did it work before

[slim ferry]

setting the name does nothing besides creating janky interactions, you should check config.center.key and use Card:set_ability("c_base") instead of setting the name

[red river]

1.0.0~BETA-0711a-STEAMODDED

[gusty compass]

i never played with Smods.Back so no

[gusty compass]

i merely checked how it is defined in the card ability config, so i dont really know what i was doing

via debugplus

as far as i know it was doing something since the crash was related to within the if condition, but i will see how i can tinker with the keys and all that

[daring fern]

Update SMODS

[red flower]

it should be something like

for i = 1, #cards do
  if next(SMODS.get_enhancements(cards[i])) then
    cards[i]:set_ability("c_base")
    deck.effect.config.multi = deck.effect.config.multi + 2
  end
end

[gusty compass]

Alright

[faint yacht]

On 0827c

if context.ante_end then
  for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
    if v.config.center.key ~= 'c_base' then
      v:set_ability('c_base')
      deck.effect.config.multi = (deck.effect.config.multi or 0) + 2
    end
  end
end

would be simpler.

[red river]

looks the same to me

[gusty compass]

Well at least the enhancement draining works

[lavish elm]

return{
                sound = "xmpl_soda",
                func = function ()
                    SMODS.add_card{key = "j_diet_cola", edition = "e_negative"}
                end
            }

why does the sound not play?

[gusty compass]

But I think the deck just doesn't want to give me any mult

[daring fern]

Code?

[red river]

if anything, it probably looks even worse now because "-$3" popup and the effect are out of sync

[red flower]

it needs to have a message, use play_sound() instead

[red river]

    if context.before and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint and #context.full_hand == 1 and context.full_hand[1]:get_id() == 6 and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
      context.full_hand[1]:set_seal("Gold", nil, true)
      context.full_hand[1]:juice_up()
      return {
        message = "Gold Seal",
        colour = G.C.MONEY,
        message_card = card
      }
    end
  end```

[lavish elm]

ok thx

[daring fern]

You didn't remove nil, true

[red flower]

try another context other than pre_joker maybe

[gusty compass]

Got any suggestions?

[slim ferry]

context.other_joker

[red river]

yeah.. i changed it after it didn't work for the second time, one minute...

[slim ferry]

like baseball card

[red flower]

whats my keyboard doing

[gusty compass]

Are there anything I can use to have it before jokers score?

[gusty compass]

That's a seizure lol

[red flower]

initial_s oring_step

ant type that letter anymore

[slim ferry]

isnt that how baseball card works already

or does it give the mult after the joker trigger

[gusty compass]

Before any joker should trigger

Like the green joker's mult change for instance

Idk

[slim ferry]

i dont think thats a thing, there is initial_scoring_step which is before everything ig

[gusty compass]

Well that's a bit rough

[red flower]

i dont think thats a problem here

that step is before jokers but de ks are last anyway

im just going to buy a new keyboard i think
