[red flower]

for removing use table.remove with the index returned by pseudorandom_element (local value, index = pseudorandom_element(table, seed))

[copper perch]

and where would I wanna do this at, because I have multiple Jokers that destroy playing cards

[red flower]

in the place you showed earlier? if you don't understand the concept of what I said I don't think I can help much

[copper perch]

I mean would I need to make the list for each Joker, or would 1 time in the code for all the jokers work and I can call on the list whenever

[red flower]

you need to make it for each joker unless you don't want any of them to pick the same card in which case what i said doesn't work

[copper perch]

None could hit the same

[red flower]

then you can add a flag when you pick to the cards (i think destroy_cards might already add getting_sliced idk) and make a list of the cards in hand without that flag. then do the part that i said with table.remove for the second destruction

[copper perch]

Sorry about all the questions but how would I go about making a flag? LUA code is new to me so I have little idea what I'm doing honestly...

[red flower]

playing_card.this_is_a_flag = true

this will persist until you reload the game but because you're destroying them immediately after it doesn't matter

[copper perch]

got it

[wet chasm]

would you make it where every new instance of a joker says that variable to false then

or would it not persist

i have no idea how lua works

[red flower]

if you mean at the beginning then no, fields in a table start as nil which is the only other falsy value alongside false so they don't need to be initialized

[copper perch]

would I wanna put this in my Joker's config or is it something I can just call whenever and it'll work?

[wet chasm]

ah right mb

[red flower]

you can do that whenever yes

[copper perch]

and I'm assuming i can change 'this_is_a_flag' to anything

[red flower]

yes

well, anything the game or other mods don't use

so i would recommend adding the mod prefix

[wet chasm]

its good to use snake case notation

for clarity

[wicked leaf]

how do you increase hands permanently?

G.GAME.Hands?

[mystic river]

check what grabber does

[lavish elm]

card.ability.perma_x_mult = (card.ability.perma_x_mult or 1) * 2
why doesn't this work?

[faint yacht]

I'd understand if this was an enhancement... but if this is triggered from a Joker, context.other_card.ability.perma_x_mult.

[lavish elm]

the card is from
_, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards)

[faint yacht]

🤔

[lavish elm]

it is a for loop

[daring fern]

card.ability.perma_x_mult starts at 0

[lavish elm]

ok thanks

[sudden crest]

This might be a bit of an arbitrary question, but how difficult would it be to make a mod that only edits numbers and text?

[slim ferry]

would be pretty simple

localization files from mods override vanilla localization by default so thats pretty easy

and for editing the numbers of stuff you can use take_ownership https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#taking-ownership

[lavish elm]

how to add an effect that happens after scoring and I mean a permanent effect that happens after scoring

[faint yacht]

Do said effect addition with context.after.

[lavish elm]

I mean that it happens automatically no jokers no nothing

[daring fern]

Use the mod calculate.

[long sun]

what's wrong with my code? i want this consumable to convert all selected cards into the suit of the rightmost, but it's not the rightmost sometimes

death does it like this

wait no uhm

no that should be fine — there's a #G.hand.highlighted in there but it's not causing it

[daring fern]

table.sort(G.hand.highlighted, function(a,b) return a.T.x < b.T.x end)

[long sun]

ah, thanks ^^

[red river]

is it possible to display multiple images (souls) on a joker?

[long sun]

yes, using SMODS.DrawStep

@daring fern game crashed, complaining about hand_sorted being nil

[daring fern]

No, it sorts G.hand.highlighted directly.

[long sun]

ohhhhhhhhh

oh i see ;u; my mistake

[queen crescent]

@maiden phoenix ik you did xBlindSize but is there a way to do hyperBlindSize

[lavish elm]

Is it a mod or a function?

[daring fern]

It's a function.

[maiden phoenix]

Just change the math formula ig, never did hyper stuff

[queen crescent]

okie

[lavish elm]

Ok thanks

[floral flicker]

Hello, i keep carshing when i try applying a seal to a playing card with a spectral card.

[daring fern]

Code?

[floral flicker]

SMODS.Consumable{
key = "spec_aegis",
set = "Spectral",
atlas = "v3",
pos = {x = 0, y = 1},
unlocked = true,
discovered = false,
cost = 4,
config = {
extra = { maxselect = 1 }
},
loc_txt = {
name = "Aegis",
text = {
"Gives the selected card",
"the {C:spectral}Silver Seal{}"
}
},
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
info_queue[#1116390750314307698_queue + 1] = { key = "sl_silver_seal", set = "Other", vars = {} }
return { vars = {
colours = { HEX("bec6d5") },
card.ability.extra.maxselect
}}
end,
can_use = function(self, card)
return #G.hand.highlighted == card.ability.extra.maxselect
end,

use = function(self, card, area, copier)
    for i = 1, #G.hand.highlighted do
        local highlighted = G.hand.highlighted[i]
        play_sound("tarot1")
        highlighted:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
        highlighted:set_seal("sl_silver_seal")
    end
end

}

[daring fern]

Remove _seal from the key when setting the seal.

[floral flicker]

Okay, trying now.

Work perfectly, I was adding the _seal as I needed to add it everywhere else. Thx a lot.

[lavish elm]

so it turns out I have no idea what I am doing so can I have an example?

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
    if context.after then
        -- Code
    end
end

[lavish elm]

thanks alot

[flat cypress]

I want to make a deck that starts you off with every vanilla combination of seal, enhancement, and edition (and then another deck for modded ones too), but I haven’t made a deck before. What does the code to set this up even look like?

I have a feeling five nested for loops (rank, suit, enhancement, edition, seal) will be pretty unoptimal

[daring fern]

Yes, there would be 6656 cards.

[slim ferry]

i imagine it would probably not be great for your pc

aikoyori's shenanigans has a challenge that starts you off with 20X the normal cards and it already freezes for a bit when opening the deck preview

[red flower]

i dont think that would be a problem

[lavish elm]

JAS.calculate = function (self, context)
    if context.after then
        if not G.GAME.big_num_mult then
            return{}
        else
            return{
                xmult = G.GAME.big_num_mult
            }
        end
        print(G.GAME.big_num_mult)
    end
end

it is not even going through the after context

[slim ferry]

you should use context.final_scoring_step

for scoring

also make sure the value is actually set

[red flower]

the print is not going to do anything after a return also

[lavish elm]

ok I will try it now

it works now thanks

[flat cypress]

oh I’ve done the math. I might have to call them the refrigerator and freezer decks lmao

[lavish elm]

how to set the joker slots to infinite?

[daring fern]

G.jokers:change_size(math.huge)

[lavish elm]

thanks

[warm gyro]

I would like to make it so when you redeem the voucher a joker "evolves" into a different one, could someone please help

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key1')) do
    v:set_ability('j_modprefix_key2')
end

[warm gyro]

could you explain a bit more, I'm really new to modding

[slim ferry]

SMODS.find card -> list of cards with matching key, used in the pairs loop here
v:set_ability -> turns the current card in the loop into the card with the specified key

[warm gyro]

alright thank you

[elder rune]

How do you check if you have a specific mod on

[slim ferry]

next(SMODS.find_mod("<mod id>"))

if you just want to make specific objects not load you can also add a dependencies field to the object

which is a table of mod ids

[elder rune]

no I want to make a consumable not load if you have talisman because it crashes otherwise

basically anti-crossmod

[daring fern]

if not Talisman

[elder rune]

okay I got it to work

[warm gyro]

How can I add a picture to the little round thing next to my mod in the mod manager?

[slim ferry]

make an atlas with the key modicon

[warm gyro]

whats the size?

[slim ferry]

32x32

[warm gyro]

thank you

[warm gyro]

does it also need a 2x version or do I just put it in the 1x?

[slim ferry]

you also need a 2x version

[warm gyro]

thank you

How can I make a joker not show up in the collection screen?
I did thi sbut it still showed up

[daring fern]

Move it outside of the config.

[warm gyro]

ahh

[warm gyro]

another question I've had is how to make the tooltips, I tried making it with the {T:}, but it never seemed to work

[slim ferry]

{T:} is only for hover tooltips on deck descriptions

for anything else you should use info_queue in the card's loc_vars like so:
info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS[<some key>]

you can also use G.P_SEALS or G.P_TAGS, or just make it a table to be passed into localize (i think)

[warm gyro]

so in the key section I would put the key of the thing I want to describe in the tooltip?
Or do I need to make a new thing that defines what the tooltip says?

My joker I want to be described in the tooltip is called Ye

[slim ferry]

that would work yes

[warm gyro]

It doesn't though

[slim ferry]

is the key of the joker Ye?

[warm gyro]

this is the Ye joker so far

[slim ferry]

is your mod prefix also exactly YZY

[warm gyro]

yes

[slim ferry]

oh nvm wait

it has to be j_YZY_Ye

[warm gyro]

ahh

thank you so much :)

[long sun]

omg hai sadcube ^^

[knotty compass]

heyaa! what would be a check when card is drawn? im making enchancement that does stuff on being drawn!

[long sun]

ooooooo i don't know but that sounds awesome

i was thinking hand_drawn maybe?

but that's for all the cards

if you need it to be individual that won't work

[knotty compass]

yeeh

maybe could loop through drawn cards to check if its the one?

[unkempt bronze]

When I open up my modded pack, I have to use the cards and can't hold them for later.

[slim ferry]

add select_card = <cardarea> to the pack definition

[unkempt bronze]

where?

[slim ferry]

SMODS.Booster

[unkempt bronze]

and what replaces <cardarea>

[slim ferry]

the key of a cardarea as a string

probably 'consumeables' for your case

[unkempt bronze]

thank you

[languid canopy]

hello i dont understnad why it happens, can someone help ?
its supposed to create 2 epic jokers and remove 1 joker slot (ping me pls)

[daring fern]

It's Joker not Jokers also it's G.jokers:change_size(-1)

[languid canopy]

woops thanks

[warm gyro]

How do i check how many times I have a specific card type in my full deck?

enhanced card type

[red flower]

have you checked stone joker

[warm gyro]

I dont know where the jokers are in the game files

[slim ferry]

use vanillaremade

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[warm gyro]

I already have the game files extracted
or can I not view them there?

[slim ferry]

you can but vanilla joker code is wierd because its all in one hardcoded function that handles every joker

plus vanillaremade also highlights best practices and such

rather than being a complete 1:1 recreation, its remade in a way thats how mods should do it

[warm gyro]

alright thanks

[flat cypress]

how do I actually code it so my starting deck is every combination of vanilla ranks, suits, seals, enhancements, and editions? Because I think I would rather die than hardcode this 11'700 times in Joker Forge

[red flower]

dont use jokerforge?

also i would recommend asking jf questions in the jf discord

[flat cypress]

My goal is to not have to use JF. That’s why I asked here

[red flower]

oh

but didnt you already said what you need to do before?

thats why im confused

just do some nested loops

[flat cypress]

I know it’s some sort of nested for loop, but I don’t know how to set up the variables and stuff. I know the destination and the road but not which exits to take

[red flower]

i would recommend asking step by step then, just saying that makes it seem like you want the whole code made for you

i have a deck that applies an enhancement to all cards if you need some basics https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/main/src/others/Decks.lua

[flat cypress]

I do know how to do that, yes. Thanks

[flat cypress]

fair enough

are the vanilla enhancements and stuff already in a list or table somewhere with Smods or do I have to define that manually?

[daring fern]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Enhanced

[long sun]

hihi :3 i'd like my booster to do something special for the first card it summons, and something different for the second, and something different for the third

is there any way to do that?

[red flower]

^ you need to check if the enhancement doesnt have .original_mod

[red flower]

yes, create_card has an index argument

[long sun]

ah great! thanks ^u^

[warm gyro]

whats that prefix thing for enhancements? like the j_ thing

[flat cypress]

And Smods has a version of the same that’s the modded enhancements, right? Or do I misremember

[prisma loom]

Hi, folks! Question: how do I make it so the highlighted part of the code triggers 2nd (after the upper part of code)? Currently its vice-versa:

[daring fern]

No.

[prisma loom]

Im not very familiar with code structure rules

[flat cypress]

damn. Ok

[frosty rampart]

put the destroy_cards call inside the second event i think

[prisma loom]

kk

[prisma loom]

Nope!

[prisma loom]

nvm, YES!
but it seems like even though card is drawn to the hand, it doesnt get destroyed

hmmmmm

[wintry solar]

that table is all enhancements

[prisma loom]

Here's what I mean:

[frosty rampart]

oh you need to put the code that creates the destroyed_hands table in the event too, my bad
because you draw the extra card(s) in an event, so they aren't actually drawn until after that event runs (which is after the calculate finishes)

[prisma loom]

okak

ic ic

[next timber]

ok i had to go afk before i could get an answer to this last night but. why does no sound play here. this is in the calculate function of an edition and value is not 1 because it's returning xmult that itn't 1

[warm gyro]

think you need play_sound, no?

[slim ferry]

returning a sound works too

[frosty rampart]

no, you can return sounds and it should work like that

[slim ferry]

it could just be editions being wierd but idk

[warm gyro]

yea I tried that and for me it didn't work either

[prisma loom]

like this?

[frosty rampart]

yes

[wintry solar]

returning a sound only works on a custom message iirc

[prisma loom]

still the same issue

hmmmmm

[prisma loom]

What could be the issue?

[wintry solar]

try using SMODS.draw_cards(number) instead

I don't think it will make a difference but it might

[prisma loom]

👌

[wintry solar]

alternatively, put the draw code outside of an event

[prisma loom]

Didn't help :(

even with the destruction part either in or out of the event as well

that too didnt matter

how it looks rn:

but draw always happens first before destruction for some reason

wierd stuff

[long sun]

why are my consumables so sparkly 😭

[flat cypress]

I’ll have to just manually do the vanilla ones, thanks

[red flower]

skip_materialize = true

[long sun]

for the booster?

[red flower]

yes, in create_card

[long sun]

awesome ^^

will try that

not working ;u;"

[red flower]

may i see the code

[long sun]

this is one of the functions that creates specific kinds of Hanafuda

ah

wait no i see

;u;

wrong position

[stoic void]

silly billy

[long sun]

:3 hehe

i also don't get why this isn't working properly

i tried it with and without the second line, but no luck

it's being called like so

the particles are fixed btw :D

[daring fern]

What is not working about it?

[long sun]

the wrong cards are being spawned

i expected chaff, ribbon_animal, bright in a normal pack, but got all animals

hold on actually lemme test this a bit further

ah no wait this works ^^; sorry to bother

[red flower]

please use the smods functions 😭

[long sun]

what functions -3-?

[red flower]

SMODS.create_card

[long sun]

ah ;u; ya true

[warm gyro]

This is for an enhancement

whats wrong with my loc_vars?

[red flower]

loc_vars should be a function

[warm gyro]

oh yea

what now?

[red flower]

return { vars = {...} }

[warm gyro]

thank you

I want the card ability to trigger when it's played

[daring fern]

It's dollars and xchips

[warm gyro]

so they always have to be called that?

[daring fern]

No, in the return.

[warm gyro]

yea I meant those

[slim ferry]

go my list of calculation keys

(generally dont use the ones ending in _mod though)

[warm gyro]

whats the difference between xmult and Xmult?

[slim ferry]

nothing

[warm gyro]

oh

[slim ferry]

its just different names for the same effect for convenience

[queen crescent]

hmmm
how to hyperop blind requirement...

[next timber]

ok so. return {x_mult = value, sound = sound, message = "X"..value} DOES make the sound play. however it also shows the X message 2 times, one for the actual xmult and one for the added message. so i still do not have a solution

[wind steppe]

remove_default_message = true

in the return

[next timber]

ok cool

now to figureo ut how i make the colour accurate

i cant tell if thats the purple colour or the dark_edition colour

probably dark_edition because. yeah

[wind steppe]

yeah editions usually use dark_edition

you dont have to though

[next timber]

i mean i want it to be consistent

hello it's me again coming with a another question or problem:
how can i make it not playing the animation and not sounding like that?

[frosty dock]

wrong server pal, this is balatro

discord.gg/ZbdyBKvr3R

[daring fern]

Use Card:remove()

[vernal seal]

didn't resolve the problem

[pure salmon]

how do i get a table containing the keys of every joker in my mod?

[glass scaffold]

Say I want to play a sound whenever a certain amount of Joker slots are taken up out of a specific amount available.

If I have my stuff in components, which one should I put that code in?

[sturdy compass]

"card" on line 38 is not a defined var

you want "Card"

[wind steppe]

they should be using SMODS.destroy_cards no?

[vernal seal]

I wanted without the destroy animation and loud sound

[sturdy compass]

That and it's happening during apply so it's not super necessary

[vernal seal]

still didn't work

[daring fern]

No, put temp_hand[i]:remove() in the for loop.

[vernal seal]

it worked, thanks

[next timber]

is there any way to make a msesage sound being returned in a calculate function be louder? im not sure if just adding vol to the return works

[daring fern]

volume = number

[next timber]

awesome thx

what sets the name at the bottom when opening a booster pack?

looking through vanillaremade rn for reference and i dont see anything related to it might just be blind

[red flower]

vanillaremade uses group_key and the localization file

[rare torrent]

why doesn't this work to make a booster pack that only has jokers from my mod? ```local mymodjokers = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
if v.set == "Joker" and v.mod and v.mod.id == "omegatro" then
table.insert(mymodjokers, v.key)
end
end

text = {
"stuffs"
},
group_name = "oh mah gowd"
},
atlas = "omega_pack",

pools = mymodjokers

}```

[solid salmon]

where do i make pool

i wanna make a pool of certain jokers

but like which file do i put it in?

[slim ferry]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[karmic creek]

aww shit here we go again

[vocal helm]

i missed what i can only assume to be the scammer but it seems really funny to assume that question is what the mods were called for

SMODS.ObjectType({
    key = "j8bit_waterproof_banned_jokers", -- The prefix is not added automatically so it's recommended to add it yourself
    default = "j_splash",
    cards = {
        j_splash = true,
        j_erosion = true,
        j_seltzer = true,
    },
})

anyway you can do it like this

[obsidian spear]

is there anyway to do custom context?

[slim ferry]

you can calculate a context with SMODS.calculate_context

that will calculate all cards with the given table as the context table

[obsidian spear]

whar?

[solid salmon]

Ok but what file

Like the main one

[obsidian spear]

may you provide an example please

[solid salmon]

The jokers?

[slim ferry]

any

file never matters except for like localization

[solid salmon]

Jokers it is then

[slim ferry]

SMODS.calculate_context { foo = true, bar = 4 } will calculate all cards with context.foo being true and context.bar being 4

[obsidian spear]

ah alright

[slim ferry]

also usually its best practice to add your mod prefix to your own custom contexts to not potentially interfere with other mods adding a context of the same name

[obsidian spear]

ah algiht

[wind steppe]

[wind steppe]

lovely dump

[thorn current]

Hey all! For the steam modded framework what’s the snippet of code to make a joker that adds Xmult like the lucky cat? Can someone post a screenshot or walk me through how to basically have exactly the lucky cats Xmult effect trigger whenever ever say any 3 card is played? Thanks!

I figured out how to do both adding mult and adding chips but can’t figure out how to do scaling of any kind!

[frail parcel]

the example mod does it

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/a670b00a4276d5f7982f5980453726e3cc7c8e28/src/jokers.lua#L2568

[frail parcel]

basically, do something like this (dont copypaste this this is psuedocode)

card scored
{
  if card.rank = 3
  {
    xmultvar +0.75
  }
}
hand played
{
  apply_xmult(xmultvar)
}

Where's the break in this code that causes the game to up and crash without a log?

(not upon use, but upon buying from the shop)

[wind steppe]

anyone know what colors this menu uses?

[unkempt bronze]

The text?

[wind steppe]

the edges

this part

(ignoring the background)

[unkempt bronze]

More accurately, this just buffs every card after that specific hand.

fixed it, forgot to set lanthanide mult to 0 after

[unkempt bronze]

now for this one...

[unkempt bronze]

Nope, still broken, just you have to use two lanthanide cards and not one.

My fix to my cards seems to break it worse

[copper perch]

Is there a way I can destroy a playing card in a specific position (leftmost, for instance)? Its currently random but think a fixed position would be MUCH easier to code

local card_ = pseudorandom_element(G.hand.cards, 'seed')
            SMODS.destroy_cards(card_, nil, true)

[dense fulcrum]

chat how do i make the challenge ui work

[unkempt bronze]

What part?

[dense fulcrum]

the rules and banned items

[unkempt bronze]

The banned items are easy: restrictions: 'keys of the stuff you don't want'.

As for the rules...

[dense fulcrum]

ive already done that, its just that the banned items arent showing up in the challenge menu

[unkempt bronze]

...?

[stone dagger]

Hello I have 2 jokers:

Uro Bound that has this: yes_pool_flag = "uro_bound_destroyed"
and another that has this:

in_pool = function (self, args)
        return not G.GAME.pool_flags.uro_bound_destroyed
    end

When Uro Bound is destroyed, the uro_bound_destroyed is set to false. However when I disable all other jokers using banner none of the jokers appear in the shop. Any idea why?

[unkempt bronze]

put v_ in front of the vouchers

[dense fulcrum]

oh, ty lmao

[unkempt bronze]

And any specific boss you wanna ban?

[dense fulcrum]

i have a hook on get_next_boss() that makes every boss blind the same

[unkempt bronze]

Ah.

[dense fulcrum]

is there a prefix for skip tags btw?

[unkempt bronze]

tag_

[dense fulcrum]

thx

[unkempt bronze]

also, c_ for consumables

p_ for packs

and j_ for jokers, for future reference

[dense fulcrum]

thx

[unkempt bronze]

yw!

[dense fulcrum]

how do i make the rules display in the menu

[unkempt bronze]

That I don't know.

[dense fulcrum]

thx for the help nonetheless

[stone dagger]

Sry, do u have any idea on this?

[vale grove]

hey just curios how do you change the base "balatro" image on the menu (like how yahimice made it "balala")

[slim ferry]

Create an atlas with the key balatro, iirc

[vale grove]

do i make a sperate file for this or make in my main.lua

[slim ferry]

You can do it wherever

[vale grove]

and what does the function look like for actually applying the atlas

[slim ferry]

Wdym applying the atlas

All you gotta do is make an atlas with that key

[vale grove]

well in a joker you use the atlas to apply it to that joker

[vale grove]

then i get this error

[slim ferry]

Thats an issue with your files then

Is the file path in the atlas correct

[vale grove]

considering youre asking that probably not

because i just took the atlast i have for jokers and changed it to balatro and balatro.png

[slim ferry]

Do you have a balatro.png in your assets folder

[vale grove]

yes its in 1x rn

[copper perch]

SMODS.Atlas {
    key = "Balatro",
    path = "this_is_my_logo.png",
    px = pixel_x,
    py = pixel_y
}

You'd need to get the pixel size for the x and y and fill those in as they are

[vale grove]

okay so i must admit im a little lost

with this

i dont see why it wouldnt work

[copper perch]

I think you need the 2x as well for it to work fully

Thats my guess anyways

[vale grove]

with 2x my game doesnt crash anymore but the background doesnt change either (both in 1x and 2x not one or the other)

[copper perch]

Okay, so are you trying to change the "Balatro" text? I think I may see what to do but this is just a random shot rn

[vale grove]

yes i just want to update the text

the colors are for latrer i have college tomorrow XD

[copper perch]

I think then we're looking for a 'splash,' just looking at a mod that uses a custom logo so again, guesswork 😅

[slim ferry]

Im pretty sure vanillremade wiki has it

Like the key that the atlas should be

[vale grove]

oh really?

i didnt expect it to be on there so i didnt bother looking because why would it be

[slim ferry]

Im pretty sure its near the mod icon thing on the wiki so just search for mod icon on the wiki

[vale grove]

wait wiki?

theres a wiki for this?

[slim ferry]

Vanillaremade wiki

In the top bar on github

Theres a wiki

[vale grove]

ohhhh

like that

sorry im a little tired

[vale grove]

not yet sadly

[slim ferry]

Huho

[copper perch]

I think I have something then

[slim ferry]

Try searching near the mod icon bit

Maybe

[vale grove]

this is directly under that

[slim ferry]

Oh

[vale grove]

okay well after a little expirementing

[copper perch]

Try this maybe? I see its called splash in a mod with a custom logo

SMODS.Atlas {
    key = "splash",
    path = "image_here.png",
    px = size,
    py = size,
}

[vale grove]

behold

lol

[copper perch]

progress I guess lmao

[vale grove]

what i did for that result is shamelessy copy it from another mod

which uses this

which tbh i have no clue in the world why youd use logo

like this

[copper perch]

Very good question

[vale grove]

it also doesnt matter i think

because removing logo and just making it the balatro.png gives the same result

[red flower]

sorry :p

[vale grove]

lol dont apologize

youve helped me out tons

wait

theres progress

its here but in the wrong size lmao

[frosty rampart]

@next timber real quick could you elaborate on how you suggest setting context.blueprint for jokers that retrigger other jokers

[next timber]

astro said that they were retriggering the scaling which implies whatever method of retriggering you're using ignores context.blueprint, which it really should not do

[frosty rampart]

unless i'm stupid, it
doesn't

[burnt tide]

How can i make the thing that Misprint have where you can see the next card in deck ?

[next timber]

hm

[frosty rampart]

y'know what maybe it's just an issue on magolor's end

[next timber]

wtf

[frosty rampart]

yea i'm fuckin stupid i never check for blueprint with magolor

although it's still retriggering
hm

[vale grove]

how on earth do i center it lmao

[frosty rampart]

ok i switched it to use scale_card and it works
for reference, retrigger doesn't interact with context.blueprint at all. if the joker returns something in the calculate function, it can and will be retriggered. using SMODS.calculate_effect on the card instead of returning a message will disable the joker from being able to be retriggered in that scenario (and scale_card calls calculate_effect)

[copper perch]

That one I have no clue on 😅

[vale grove]

its so confusing

its related to pos

but i dont really see the issue

because pos dictates size (apparently)

[copper perch]

Maybe size up the logo? Use 2x for the 1x and double it again for the 2x? Unsure

[vale grove]

you might be onto something

[vale grove]

okay so i got it to kinda work

the issue is that the center is different because iam adding a letter

[copper perch]

Damnnn

[vale grove]

i also figured out it has to do with the friend i asked to make the art making it the wrong size lol

[copper perch]

Ohhh lol

[sage crater]

anyone have examples of collab art mods?

specifically, one mod that adds multiple suit changes

[burnt tide]

how can i change this so it verifies if the card is a custom rank ?

[red flower]

context.other_card.base.value == "key"

[vale grove]

just dropping this off here, currently i have this as the main menu and iam wondering how to make the image bigger while still having the little needle (orwhatever normally pierces the ace) on the center

i know this is probably difficult considering the defealt pos for the image is set but its worth asking maybe someone knows

(here is the image iam using btw which iam aware is a little clunky but im not that good at art )

[burnt tide]

thanks!

[sage crater]

after adding a second suit to the atlas, the original broke

should look like this

now looks like this

[jolly shadow]

why are you overriding them

smods has support for adding collabs

[sage crater]

I'm not

it's just showing the defaults for some reason

not sure why :/

[jolly shadow]

oh, can u show the deckskin code

[sage crater]

sure

local atlas_key = 'ror'                   -- Format: PREFIX_KEY
-- See end of file for notes
local atlas_path = atlas_key .. '_lc.png' -- Filename for the image in the asset folder
-- local atlas_path_hc = 'ror_hc.png'                                          -- Filename for the high-contrast version of the texture, if existing

local suits = { 'hearts', 'clubs', 'diamonds', 'spades' } -- Which suits to replace
local ranks = { 'Jack', 'Queen', "King" }                 -- Which ranks to replace

local description = 'Risk of Rain'                        -- English-language description, also used as default

SMODS.Atlas {
    key = atlas_key .. '_lc',
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
    path = atlas_path,
    prefix_config = {
        key = false
    } -- See end of file for notes
}

if atlas_path_hc then
    SMODS.Atlas {
        key = atlas_key .. '_hc',
        px = 71,
        py = 95,
        path = atlas_path_hc,
        prefix_config = {
            key = false
        } -- See end of file for notes
    }
end

for _, suit in ipairs(suits) do
    SMODS.DeckSkin {
        key = suit .. "_skin",
        suit = suit:gsub("^%l", string.upper),
        ranks = ranks,
        lc_atlas = atlas_key .. '_lc',
        hc_atlas = (atlas_path_hc and atlas_key .. '_hc') or atlas_key .. '_lc',
        loc_txt = {
            ['en-us'] = description
        },
        posStyle = 'deck'
    }
end

and atlas

[jolly shadow]

change pos style to ranks maybe? also why the atlas so big just limit it to the 3 cards

just did a collab thing myself if u wanna take a look at it

its nothin but the collabs so 👍

[sage crater]

the mod I'm copying the code off of had an atlas that could hold the entire deck, so I just decided not to mess with it and do what it did

[sage crater]

oh, fire

[sage crater]

would I make two SMODS.Deckskins for the two separate suits?

[jolly shadow]

yea

[sage crater]

game crashed lol

[urban wasp]

for some reason this logic doesn't require room yet i feel like it should

for i = 1, math.min(card.ability.extra.create, G.consumeables.config.card_limit - #G.consumeables.cards) do
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = "after",
        delay = 0.4,
        func = function()
            play_sound("timpani")
            SMODS.add_card({ set = "Lenormand" })
            card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
            return true 
        end
    }))
end

card.ability.extra.create = 1 btw

[sage crater]

ok, now I'm confused. It's having trouble making an atlas

[dapper sun]

does anyone know why juice_up is crashing?

if #hearts >= card.ability.extra.count then
    for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        v:change_suit("Hearts")
        v:juice_up(0.3,0.4)
    end
    return {
        message = "<3",
        card = self
    }
end```

[jolly shadow]

show the code lol

[sage crater]

oh, right

[sage crater]

bop

@jolly shadow forgot to ping

[dapper sun]

also bump for this bc i'm confuseddd

[jolly shadow]

you did the atlas wrong

[sage crater]

what 😭

[jolly shadow]

deckskin doesnt add ur mod prefix to the atlas key automatically

so itd be modprefix .. atlas_key

[sage crater]

oh

ok, it works!
Now how do I tell it to look at the second row for the spades?

[dapper sun]

you make a second atlas for the spades

[sage crater]

aw man

I was hoping I could do it in one image file

[dapper sun]

nope

[sage crater]

womp womp I guess lol

[azure valley]

perhaps a basic question, but what is the proper way to "sequence" several events such that they occur one after the other without trying to play over or interfere with each other?

[sage crater]

so turns out I can do it in one file, if I use the deck pos style

[jolly shadow]

event manager

or if youre talking abt like, calculate returns, add "extra" table to ur return table

{
  xmult = 2,
  extra = {
    message = "delayed message!"
  }
}

[azure valley]

I'm using the event manager, the events seem to be running into one another nevertheless.

[jolly shadow]

show the code

[azure valley]

sure

curt_Consumable {
  key = "rev_chariot",
  atlas = "rev_tarot",
  pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },

      local voucher_key = get_next_voucher_key(true)
      local _card = Card(G.shop_vouchers.T.x + G.shop_vouchers.T.w/2,
        G.shop_vouchers.T.y, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, G.P_CARDS.empty,
        G.P_CENTERS[voucher_key],{bypass_discovery_center = true,

        G.GAME.round_scores.cards_purchased.amt = G.GAME.round_scores.cards_purchased.amt + 1
        _card:redeem()
        return true end }))

        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 1.4, func = function()
          _card:start_dissolve()
        return true end }))
    end
  end
}

and elsewhere:

function curt_queue_juice_use_dissolve(card, from_rev_fool)
  G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.6, func = function()
    card:juice_up(0.6, 0.1)
    card:use_consumeable(G.consumeables)
    SMODS.calculate_context({using_consumeable = true, consumeable = card, area = card.from_area, from_rev_fool = from_rev_fool})
    card:start_dissolve()
    return true end }))
end

Observed behavior: https://youtu.be/Fqjh6IUFK-0

The intended effect - When purchasing a voucher, another is spawned and immediately purchased

This occurs, but the visuals are buggy because the events are not being sequenced properly and so events are starting before the previous one finishes.

@jolly shadow ^ the code and so forth as requested. Thanks in advance! I appreciate the assistance.

If need be, I can make a minimal example mod for you to test.

[jolly shadow]

not quite sure why its not working as intended
maybe its the buying card context? perhaps should find a different context after the fact to do the visuals and redeeming

[sage crater]

how do you use in_pool() correctly? Does it go in the calculate section of a Joker?

[azure valley]

@sage crater you can check VanillaRemade (specifically Cavendish and Gros Michel) for an example

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/a670b00a4276d5f7982f5980453726e3cc7c8e28/src/jokers.lua#L947

[sage crater]

ah, true. Forgot that existed. thank you :]

[daring fern]

No, you need to do _card.states.visible = false outside of the event.

[tight pumice]

Is there a way to directly reference jokers in your joker roster that are perishable and modify them? Curious about this

[unkempt bronze]

error, thought it didn't

The idea is to have a joker do something to one of your perishable jokers (picked at random) but I'm struggling to find a way to reference currently owned jokers that are perishable or debuffed or both

[azure valley]

You just need to iterate over G.jokers, manually check each, and add them to a list.

[tight pumice]

Gotcha

[azure valley]

It might be G.jokers.cards, or some other slight variation

[tight pumice]

Any obvious way to check if a joker is perishable? I see SMODS.is_eternal exists but not an equivalent

[unkempt bronze]

I feel like there should something like if context.joker = perishable, but don't take me as gospel.

[urban wasp]

i don't believe so

if anything it would probably be something utilizing likeSMODS.find_card()

[unkempt bronze]

And that's why I'm a frequent here

[sage crater]

how do you change vanilla content from being in one category in your collection to another?

I'm trying to make a new category of card modifier called material, and move glass, steel, stone, gold, and lucky into that category (instead of being an enhancement)

[unkempt bronze]

I think you take ownership of it.

[sage crater]

is that going to be using this function?

[unkempt bronze]

I don't know that part, I never took ownership of anything in a mod so far

[sage crater]

ok

do you know where I could find it on the wiki? It doesn't seem like it's in the side bar

but I have seen it before, I just don't remember in what page

ah, found it. It's in API Documentation

[tight pumice]

I see that card.perishable exists, is that something that could be referred to?

like G.jokers.cards[i].perishable or something

[sage crater]

yeah

as long as it has a value, it can be referred to

[sage crater]

I'm now realizing that I wouldn't just need to make a handful of new enhancements, but instead a new tier to put the old enhancements. I think this is out of my depth 😅

[unkempt bronze]

You're telling me, some cards I've made just crash the game.

[daring fern]

No, it's card.ability.perishable

[daring fern]

No, that's for boosters.

[tight pumice]

Interesting, but is there a way I can utilize that to iterate through your joker roster and place perishable jokers into a list?

card.ability.perishable would just refer to the joker itself in this instance right

[daring fern]

local perishables = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    if v.ability.perishable then
        table.insert(perishables, v)
    end
end

[tight pumice]

What's k's job in this

[daring fern]

Nothing.

[tight pumice]

It's necessary to have?

[sage crater]

how do I go about making a new card modifier?

I assume I'll need

• new logic for the card to recognize it needs to do stuff
• a new button in the collection + all the logic that goes along with showcasing the new stuff

anything else/do I have it completely wrong?

[sage crater]

yes; you're iterating over pairs, so you need two variables even if you don't use the first

also iirc, k basically is just an integer representing the joker's index

[daring fern]

Do you want it to be able to stack with other enhancements?

[sage crater]

yes. The end goal is to move all the enhancements that change the card into another material into a new modifier tier called "material" and make them usable with other enhancements

[sage crater]

.

[daring fern]

Yes, you would probably hook Card:set_ability and Card:calculate_enhancement

[sage crater]

time to learn about hooking

[urban wasp]

i'm still not sure why this joker is ignoring consumable slots entirely

[azure valley]

You can replace it with an _

[tight pumice]

I see

[azure valley]

But ipairs and pairs return both a key and value

[tight pumice]

The joker worked without a hitch surprisingly, I'm almost suspicious

I've yet to have one work on the first run

It picks a random debuffed or perishable (or both) joker and brings it back to life

If it had/has the perishable tag, it removes that tag

Made it in honor of all the heartbreaking perishable blueprint/brainstorms I've seen in high stake runs

[sage crater]

is there a way to do something when a card is first created and never again?

[frosty rampart]

set_ability function

[sage crater]

is this inline with the calculate function?

[frosty rampart]

...
smods/the game handles that automatically
if all you're doing is setting those initial values, you don't need the set_ability function at all

[sage crater]

nah, I'm getting there

it's necessary, trust

[tight pumice]

Anyone know a way to return a message but have it return to a different joker than the one being currently called on?

[faint yacht]

message_card = target

[vocal helm]

SMODS.calculate_effect?

ah yeah that too

return
yeah do Ali's suggestion

[frosty rampart]

then yes the function itself is where it should be
it does also take two more arguments, initial and delay_sprites, but the game won't die if you don't include them

[tight pumice]

I'll have to play around with that

[sage crater]

the coding is scuffed, but the idea is there lol

[tight pumice]

message_card is equal to the joker I want the message to come from?

[faint yacht]

Any card.

Joker, Consumable, playing card, etc.

[tight pumice]

and returning a message afterwards would return the message from that location?

Basically I'm trying to return a message from a joker, and then return a message from another joker that gets affected by this joker

[faint yacht]

return { message = "the balls", extra = { message = "harden", message_card = G.jokers.cards[1] } }

should make "the balls" appear on the triggering Joker and "harden" on the first Joker held, as example...

[tight pumice]

Worked like a charm, thanks

[sage crater]

getting an error on my for loop. Could someone enlighten me on why?

for _, v in pairs(G.jokers or {}) do
            if v.key == "florble" then
                toGain[1] = v.ability.extra.var1 or 0 -- chips
                toGain[2] = v.ability.extra.var2 or 1 -- xchips
                toGain[3] = v.ability.extra.var3 or 0 -- mult
                toGain[4] = v.ability.extra.var4 or 1 -- xmult
                total = total + 1
            end
        end

[faint yacht]

G.jokers and G.jokers.cards or {}

[sage crater]

ah, ok

[sage crater]

game is crashing when I play a hand with this new joker. Anything look like the problem?

[daring fern]

It's v.config.center.key also it's j_modprefix_key

[sage crater]

ah, thanks

replacing these parts?

bro why does alt+f5 not work sometimes

and pressing R after getting an error

it just decides to break and I have to go the slow way around and hit play in steam again

[red flower]

i just added the exe to my task bar

[sage crater]

I'm sure I could find a workaround, but I'm on a steam deck, so I need to run exe programs through steam's proton

[red flower]

sad

[sage crater]

still getting crashes, but now it's a new error with slightly different code

[daring fern]

Firstly, move the if context.joker_main check to the top, Secondly, the second input of pseudorandom_element should be a string, Thirdly, remove the florble_list = before table.insert

[sage crater]

ah, so it should be a string

it was complaining that I put in a string instead of an integer and I was confused by that

[sage crater]

blarg, it's complaining about the string again

[daring fern]

Your SMODS version is very old.

[sage crater]

oh

it should be less than 6 months 😭

I was working on this in april

[hardy viper]

only 6 months old am i right

[sage crater]

it appears I've made a fork bomb in my balatro

when time to score:
  make a new copy of yourself
  score as intended
``` seems to also run this on the copied version before it has existed for a round...

first question: how do I stop this?
second question: how do I limit the cards created per hand scored to 1?

I'm imagining I'll need to set a global var or something, but idk how I'd do that in lua

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

No, move everything into the if context.joker_main check, also put the copying of the joker in an event.

[sage crater]

is this good?

[daring fern]

No, put the copy_card into the event.

[sage crater]

ok

ok, so...
it no longer crashes...

which I guess is good

if not for the fact that now my memory is being inhaled

[daring fern]

You need to return true in the event.

[sage crater]

ah

ok, it works

now I need to reduce the total jokers created per hand to 1

[chrome widget]

Finalized version of my reworked achievement menu

[urban wasp]

gump

[granite jay]

Anyone know how to get the amount of chips each card’s rank grants?

I want to make a joker that adds the chips of each card held in hand.

[urban wasp]

what's the context for on score effects on enhancements?

[daring fern]

card:get_chip_bonus()

[granite jay]

Thx

[daring fern]

context.main_scoring

[urban wasp]

so if i did like (pseudocode) if context.main_scoring then return 3 xmult it would give 3 xmult every time it scores?

or do i need an additional context or something

[daring fern]

context.cardarea == G.play

[urban wasp]

ah okay thank you

[sage crater]

getting the error attempt to compare number with table

[daring fern]

Log?

[true jasper]

You need to add talisman support

[sage crater]

ah

[sage crater]

is that done in the json file, or do I actually need to code something?

like do I just need to add it to the dependencies, or is there something I need to add to my lua file/s

[true jasper]

you need to wrap numbers / values that are numbers with to_big()
so if you have
if silly < 10 then
you'd make it
if to_big(silly) < to_big(10) then

[sage crater]

oh boy

is that true for every number?

[umbral zodiac]

only if theyre going to be bignums

[umbral zodiac]

also this crash is in a base balatro file, are you doing any patches there, or setting any variables used outside of the joker?

[sage crater]

nope

this is my full file. It's all just SMODS.Joker stuff

[umbral zodiac]

you probably want to use add_to_deck rather than set_ability unless you have a reason im unaware of

[sage crater]

ah ok

[umbral zodiac]

no clue if that's causing the issue but

best to use the function youre meant to use even if set_ability works

[sage crater]

could it possibly be that my talisman version is out of date and I need to get the newst version?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sage crater]

ah yep, that fixed it lol

[sage crater]

is pseudorandom always integers?

is there a way to make it floats?

[granite jay]

How do you get the level, chips and mult of a certain poker hand?

[daring fern]

Yes, don't use the second or third inputs.

[sage crater]

ah, cool

[daring fern]

G.GAME.hands['modprefix_key'].level, G.GAME.hands['modprefix_key'].chips and G.GAME.hands['modprefix_key'].mult

[granite jay]

Thx

[floral flicker]

hello i try to destory card, but it dosen't work, may someone help me with it ? It should destroy the card at the if context.destroy_card but it dosen't destroy anything ?
Also, how can i localize the message on only one playing card ?

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'sl_trooper', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
                if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroying_card == card then
                    return{
                        chips = card.ability.extra.chips
                        delay = 0.2
                        SMODS.calculate_effect({message = localize('sl_kia'), colour = G.C.MULT}, card)
                        remove = true
                    }
                end
            else
                return{
                    chips = card.ability.extra.chips
                    SMODS.calculate_effect({message = localize('sl_nkia'), colour = G.C.GREEN}, card)
                }
            end
        end
    end

[daring fern]

context.individual and context.destroy_card don't happen at the same time.

[serene granite]

can someone help meee im trying to make a joker that turns hearts into spades but its not working out, any advice?

ahhhhhh

[daring fern]

if context.before then
    for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
        if v:is_suit('Hearts') then
            SMODS.change_base(v, 'Spades')
        end
    end
end

[serene granite]

omg thank u , ill try this now

[obsidian spear]

may anyone show an example of how i could use G.UIT.O in a sense to create a button during the main part of the game

with sprites and such

[burnt tide]

How can i do that a custom rarity shows only if i use a custom deck ?

[daring fern]

get_weight = function(self, weight) return G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == 'b_modprefix_key' and weight or -math.huge end

[burnt tide]

in the deck code or the rarity code ?

[daring fern]

In the SMODS.Rarity

[burnt tide]

and how can i make all jokers (excepts these ones) never spawn with this deck ?

in SMODS.Back ?

[languid canopy]

what's the effect called that made the soul do its little boucy thingy ?

[burnt tide]

and what does it do ?

[daring fern]

SMODS.DrawStep

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
    if v.set == "Joker" and not (k == 'j_modprefix_key1' or k == 'j_modprefix_key2') then
        G.GAME.banned_keys[k] = true
    end
end

[burnt tide]

SMODS.Back ?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[obsidian spear]

how do i make the blinds harder like how plasma deck does, do i need patching

[daring fern]

Is this for a deck?

[obsidian spear]

nah for the entire mod

i make the chips stay over from the previous blind, so i need to really ramp up the difficulty

[daring fern]

G.GAME.starting_params.ante_scaling = number

[obsidian spear]

should i place this in reset_game_globals

[burnt tide]

what should i add instead of j_modprefix_key1 and j_modprefix_key2

[daring fern]

The keys of the jokers you only want to appear.

[burnt tide]

so i can add more ?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[fossil ermine]

hm, after testing the joker becoming extinct from copying gros michel/ cavendish is a problem and singing machine destroying another copy of singing machine is a problem

[burnt tide]

is this normal ?

[slim ferry]

that has to be in an actual function

[slim ferry]

i dont think gros michel/cavendish self destruction can be blueprinted

[burnt tide]

what function ?

[slim ferry]

well idk what kinda object this is

or what youre trying to do

but you cant just drop random code in the table

[fossil ermine]

singing machine completely steals all abilities from jokers basically

[slim ferry]

i see

well if its not blueprinting then the gros michel/cavendish would probably just get destroyed in whatever invisible cardarea theyre in

assuming thats how youre doing it

[fossil ermine]

the joker itself has the abilities

it extincts itself and is in a state of dead and alive

somehow

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1260391185512661013/1429536198132764916/image.png?ex=68f87915&is=68f72795&hm=de6bc7537b48c51aed094b83ac6fb370081a6e0b7162bb4cb284a40a86b14f37&

singing machine is the line joker

you cannot select it, but its abilities still works

and it counts for a joker slot

[burnt tide]

i want that when you play with a custom deck, the only jokers you can have are from a custon rarity

[slim ferry]

actually

wait no hold on

[burnt tide]

can i have 2 apply ?

[slim ferry]

no

why would you need 2 though

[fossil ermine]

if it destroys another version of singing machine the game crashes

[daring fern]

You're missing some of the code.

[fossil ermine]

[burnt tide]

my apply already looks like this, and i'm not sure i know how to add other things

[slim ferry]

just... add more code after that?

[daring fern]

for i, v in ipairs({'juice_up', 'start_dissolve', 'remove', 'flip'}) do
    G.modprefix_savedjokercards[card.sort_id][key][v] = function(_, ...)
        return card[v](card, ...)
    end
end

[slim ferry]

also why are you checking ranks like that

just do v:get_id()

[burnt tide]

because i don't know how to code and i litteraly use the code from another mod i found

[slim ferry]

also v.base.value is already the rank key so theres no point in looking into SMODS.Ranks

[fossil ermine]

isnt this just SMODS.destroy_cards

[slim ferry]

what mod are you looking at

[daring fern]

No.

[fossil ermine]

what does it do then

[burnt tide]

this mod

[daring fern]

It makes it so the real card gets destroyed if something tries to destroy the fake card.

[slim ferry]

okay looking at the fact that all the files are added via upload and there are no subfolders for the wall of files im going to guess that this isnt that well made

[fossil ermine]

ah

[slim ferry]

also use vanillaremade for reference instead https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/tree/main/src

[burnt tide]

but i didn't find what i want

[slim ferry]

which is

[burnt tide]

at least i didn't understand

[slim ferry]

what were you looking for

[burnt tide]

to replace existing ranks to custom ones when i use a custom deck

[slim ferry]

well then

look at anything that checks for rank

[fossil ermine]

and where do i put that code ?

[slim ferry]

you just wont find anything in vanilla decks because they have pre-made starting decks that are enabled with a modifier

[burnt tide]

but what i have works so for me it's good, that's not what i want now

[slim ferry]

well anyway

just add this to the apply ```lua
for _, rarity in pairs(SMODS.Rarities) do
if rarity ~= "<rarity key>" then
G.GAME[rarity:lower().."_mod"] = 0
end
end

i think

[daring fern]

At the end of the if not G.fox_savedjokercards[card.sort_id][key]

[burnt tide]

what's in the "_mod" ?

[slim ferry]

wdym whats in that

you can just leave it if thats what youre asking

it comes from this

[slim ferry]

uhhhh

for _, rarity in pairs(SMODS.Rarities) do
    if rarity.key ~= "<rarity key>" then
        G.GAME[rarity.key:lower().."_mod"] = 0
    end
end
```try this

[burnt tide]

i don't even know what "concatenate" means..

[daring fern]

It means to merge 2 strings.

[burnt tide]

ooh okay

[burnt tide]

what are the keys for the vanilla rarities ?

[daring fern]

Common, Uncommon, Rare and Legendary

[fossil ermine]

does this fix extinct and singing machine crashing if it destroys another singing machine

[daring fern]

Yes but no you would have to just tell it to not copy other jokers of the same key.

[burnt tide]

how can i change weight of a rarity ? (like Common for example) is it like this : G.GAME.Common = 0 ?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.common_mod = 0

[fossil ermine]

could i do smth like
in the if j ~= card then thingy, theres another if where if j.key == card.key then SMODS.destroy_cards(j) with the if in there originally being an else if instead

<@&1133519078540185692>

[daring fern]

No, it's j.config.center.key ~= self.key

[fossil ermine]

kay :3

wait why ~=

its if it does equal

cuz if it doesnt then it copies

[daring fern]

Because then it would only destroy jokers of the same key.

[fossil ermine]

but if it does then it doesnt copy

[vast tusk]

hello people! i have been preping myself to make a balatro mod but before i start strugling coding with my own ideas i just wanted to make a test to learn what the very basics are. for this i mostly copied a tutorial, yet the joker doesn't load in... any clue what i did wrong? (this is my first time ever truely coding so it may be something stupid)

[fossil ermine]

so like

              if j ~= card then
                    if j.config.center.key ~= self.key then
                        SMODS.destroy_cards(j)
                    else if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'group_0_e2e11086', 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'j_fox_singing') then
                        table.insert(card.ability.extra.currentJoker, j.config.center.key)
                        SMODS.destroy_cards(j)

[daring fern]

if j.config.center.key ~= self.key and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'group_0_e2e11086', 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'j_fox_singing') then
    table.insert(card.ability.extra.currentJoker, j.config.center.key)
    SMODS.destroy_cards(j)
end

[vast tusk]

Nvm, got it working

[vast tusk]

new issue... this apparently crashes the game?

[daring fern]

Yes, it's key

[vast tusk]

oh, missed that. thx for spotting it!

[vast tusk]

next question. is there a context state for rerolling the shop?

[winter flower]

if context.reroll_shop then

[vast tusk]

THX!

[vale grove]

how do i check the suit of a flush?

[daring fern]

context.scoring_hand[1]:is_suit('Suit')

[vale grove]

thank you

[vale grove]

okay so i have a joker that works simlar to bootstrap and chips but with Xmult

but when you dont have the required money amount it gives x0 mult instead of x1

any idea how to fix this?

<@&1133519078540185692>

👍

[gilded goblet]

Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult * math.max(1, math.floor(((G.GAME.dollars or 0) + (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0)) / card.ability.extra.dollars))

when card.ability.extra.Xmult is 1 and the player has zero monies, 1 * 1 = 1

math.max(1, ...) constricts the following value to be at least 1

[sage crater]

So I’m trying to make a joker create a copy of itself, but the current version exponentially increases (1 -> 2 -> 4 -> etc) and I’m trying to limit it to create only one copy regardless of how many of the jokers you have.

I know in Java, you’d probably use a static variable or something, but how would one go about doing that in lua?

[red flower]

G.GAME.modprefix_jokername_copy_made_this_round = true?

[sage crater]

And then would I set it to false at the beginning of the next round or something?

[vale grove]

i have a joker that removes a card, however at the end of the round i get this

and when i draw that card i deleted it just leaves a hole in my hand

like that

[wind steppe]

you aren’t deleting them in an event

[vale grove]

this is what it looks like right now

[tepid crow]

should probably use SMODS.destroy_cards instead?

[daring fern]

Use context.destroy_card

[tepid crow]

that context also works if the timing is right for you ^

[vale grove]

where would you put that

[vale grove]

im basicaly making a trading card but for hands instead of discards

[daring fern]

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and #context.full_hand == 1 then
    return {
        remove = true,
        dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars,
        func = function()
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    play_sound('YA_Slip')
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
    }
end

[tepid crow]

^ that hopefully works

If not, use SMODS.destroy_cards instead of the start_dissolve. For the documentation see https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#smodsdestroy_cardscards and https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/src/utils.lua#L2550

[vale grove]

this deletes all cards on screen lol

the last ban appeal standing

[vale grove]

i have a feeling that wont work

[vale grove]

ok that works thank you mr seals

[wooden nexus]

How’s mod chat

Been busy with other games but i’m still gonna mod balatro

[primal robin]

hotpot is talisman compatible

Well, mostly

[wooden nexus]

Oh

[cunning valley]

Hello! having a bit of trouble with a poker hand im doing. I'm trying to make a hand type out of an ace and two 5s (A55) but selecting the last card required for the hand crashes the game. I believe the crash comes from the evaluate function but I barely know how to do much stuff in this engine

[daring fern]

It's card:get_id() not card.get_id()

[cunning valley]

this one?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[cunning valley]

Sweet! thank you, I'll try that out

is this a syntax error or is card.get_id() a genuine thing used for other things?

[daring fern]

No, it just would not work.

The function needs to know what card you're trying to get the id of.

[cunning valley]

Oh that makes sense

Good news! The game doesn't crash!

Bad news... When selecting an Ace and two 5s it counts it as a Pair

[sage crater]

how do you check your current amount of jokers against the max amount of jokers?

this is what I currently have, but I'm sure this isn't going to work lol

ok yeah, it's not working

[daring fern]

It's #G.jokers.cards

[sage crater]

thank ya kindly

ok, it kinda works?

when I have four of this joker at 4/5, each individual one does the effect when I was hoping only one would

but the good news is, when it's 8/5 none of them do, so the check is going through correctly

is there a way to limit how many events can happen or something?

actually, I may have a way to fix it

fixed it

woohoo

[cunning valley]

they are plentiful

[sage crater]

indeed

I've run into an issue where only the first of my jokers will proc, and all copies have the exact same stats (when they should have slightly different stats)

code

[split acorn]

Hello everyone, total newbie here. For my mod, I'd like to add a deck that modifies the appearance of the cards (e.g. the "abandoned deck"). Any tips on how to do this?

[slim ferry]

like changing the starting deck? or do you mean like the collab face card skins

[sage crater]

you're going to be using SMODS.Back. If you want to see some examples, check out VanillaRemade

[split acorn]

the abandoned deck gives cards a yellowish color and a damaged look, i want to do something similar

[slim ferry]

does it>

?

like the back of the cards yeah

but thats just the sprite of the deck

[split acorn]

oh is it only the back? oof my bad

[slim ferry]

i mean you could create a #1300851004186820690 texture pack that changes the base card texture

[elder rune]

do yall think this is balanced

[slim ferry]

maybe

[sage crater]

that's a direct upgrade, as long as you have no card modifiers

[elder rune]

but it shuts down a bunch of jokers functionalities

[sage crater]

also personally, I'd capitalize Debuff since it's the first word in the sentence, and also it's important

[sage crater]

ah, good point

[elder rune]

I forgor

[split acorn]

nice resource, i'll try to use it

[solid salmon]

is there a context for when a probability triggers?

[sage crater]

bump

[red flower]

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

[solid salmon]

thanka you

[bleak shore]

hello everyone sorry to bother you but i need help with the "delay()" thing , i want to flip a card after delaying it but it flip before and do the delay afterward , any advice ?

[daring fern]

No, use events.

[viscid talon]

im trying to make a blueprint-esque joker that copies the effect of a random joker. idk how to use lua so i got smth like this. would this work?

im guessing "local" refers to it effecting this specific lua file only and non local being a global variable that affects everyone

[daring fern]

No, you would return it.

[viscid talon]

idk what that means im dumb

[daring fern]

return ret

[viscid talon]

oh hm

the goal i have rn is to have smth like:

when blind selected, copy a random joker

and have that number change constantly

[dapper sun]

bump since a bit of time's passed :p

[viscid talon]

i was thinking of having a variable that changes depending on the joker element

unsure how id code that in though LOL

[daring fern]

Yes, it's card not self

[dapper sun]

ah

[gilded goblet]

yea

card = card

[dapper sun]

i thought it was a problem with the juice_up since that's what was in the error 😭

[gilded goblet]

i think focus = card also works

dunno the difference

[slim ferry]

im pretty sure thats because the card in the return is also juiced up

[viscid talon]

ok did some fooling around on jokerforge and i made something that semi works?

there's a variable called random which changes per round

it is able to target a random joker's index value

[bleak shore]

any exemple of how i have to use them ?

[slim ferry]

ideally for copying a random joker you would save a specific sort id

so you dont just. move the joker

[viscid talon]

rn it looks like smth like this

oh true

G.jokers.cards[random] isn't returning with anything

so as a result it copies nothing (im guessing it returns with nil)

[dapper sun]

ah lol

[slim ferry]

hold on let me try and make smth with the sort id thing

[viscid talon]

okei

in the meantime im gonna look over the code

ok it looks like i migbht have to set target joker to mathrandom or something

smth like this?

i changed the variable name to amogus to make it easier for me to point out

im slowly understanding how the general code of jokers is laid out

[slim ferry]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if (context.selling_card and context.card.sort_id == card.ability.extra.target or context.setting_blind) and not context.blueprint then
        local compatible = {}
        for _, c in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            if c.config.center.blueprint_compat then
                compatible[#compatible+1] = c
            end
        end
        local new_target = pseudorandom_element(compatible, "seed")
        if new_target then card.ability.extra.target = c.sort_id end
    end
    for _, c in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if c.sort_id == card.ability.extra.target then
            return SMODS.blueprint_effect(c, context)
        end
    end
end
```this should work i think

[viscid talon]

ooh, ill give that a shot

[slim ferry]

actually wait i can make that shorter hold on

[viscid talon]

im guessing i have to create a seed = 0

brb dinner time

[plucky berry]

guys i'm tryna dig from ortalab's code how they implemented a new shop slot reserved for their mythos cards to make my own custom shop slot but i didn't find anything, any of you know how to do that

[elder rune]

how would one change the color of these

(dont mind the operator between them)

[plucky berry]

i'm minding the operator wtf is ||

[elder rune]

concatenation

[slim ferry]

isnt concatention .. in lua...

[frosty rampart]

yea it should be .. :3

[slim ferry]

where is it ||

[plucky berry]

kinda broken operator imo

sounds fun

[elder rune]

okay what about my question

[elder rune]

concatenation (purple) on a logarithmic graph against chips*mult (green) (chips = 50 and mult = x)

[native bone]

So are you just concatenating the chips and mult together or what?

[elder rune]

ye

[native bone]

Oh shit

That cannot end well

Imagine retriggering that Joker a billion times

[granite jay]

How do you check if two cards have the same suit?

[elder rune]

its not a joker

its literally the calculating function

[native bone]

Still would be busted

1 Hanging Chad if it is a card enhancement

[slim ferry]

its a scoring calculation

[elder rune]

it replaces the X between chips and mult

[granite jay]

I know I can just do something like card.is_suit(other_card.suit) but wild cards and smeared exist

[vernal seal]

hello it's me again back with a another problem to solve:
why does it show "ERROR" in the booster pack message?

[elder rune]

also a couple more on a double logarithmic graph

[granite jay]

Also how do you make it so a joker can debuff cards?

[elder rune]

:set_debuff(true)

and before the : you set the card youre debuffing

[granite jay]

ah thx

[elder rune]

e.g context.other_card:set_debuff(true)

[granite jay]

Anyone know the best way to do this?

[elder rune]

do you know how to access the suits?

[granite jay]

Yes

Hold on lemme get the code i have rn

[slim ferry]

card1:is_suit(card2.base.suit) or card2:is_suit(card1.base.suit)

[granite jay]

Oh thx

[granite jay]

I had second_card:is_suit(scored_card.suit)

[elder rune]

no answer :(

[elder rune]

scored_card.base.suit

.base basically access a bunch of info about the playing cards like the suit or rank

[burnt tide]

add a localization file with

misc = {
        dictionary = {
            modprefix_booster_type= "Text",
        },
    },

the "booster_type" is the group_key of the booster (i think)

that's what i do

[vernal seal]

do you know any method to make it apper without using a localization file?

[burnt tide]

no sorry

[vernal seal]

goddam, i should make that joker forge creates a localization folder with the "default" localization file then

[bleak shore]

Hello, I'm having a problem my code

It's supposed to destroy the heart cards I discard, so that's fine, but as soon as it encounters a heart card, it destroys all the cards that follow, even if they're not hearts, and I don't understand where that comes from.

[viscid talon]

fniished dinner

ill test rn

[slim ferry]

if context.discard and context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") then
    card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + 0.5
    return { message = "Upgrade!", remove = true }
end

[elder rune]

localize("k_upgrade_ex")

[slim ferry]

true

[bleak shore]

ohh ok ty

[elder rune]

dont forget to change "Upgrade!" to this

[viscid talon]

oke i got this error

[slim ferry]

yeah

closing brackety
