feel free to show me resources if you want

also good idea with the rocket

[native bone]

Perhaps an alternate name for the challenge could be Elton John lol

[clear ocean]

so rocket man

[native bone]

Yes

[clear ocean]

i think ground control fits isnce theres the obelisk and still a music reference

[native bone]

Fair, but I wanted to be funny

[clear ocean]

but yeah outside of that

if someone is able to show me how to make sure blue seals don't appear i can revert the ban on card packs and certificate

[native bone]

Thank you, it actually worked, with some finagling of course

[wind steppe]

why not ecto

[clear ocean]

oh yeah good idea

thanks

[copper perch]

So, I have an old Joker that is now causing me issues, its scoring its mult twice even though only prompted once, any pointers on why that could be?

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local probabilities_normal, odds = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.odds, "RocketLauncher")
        return { vars = { probabilities_normal, odds, card.ability.mult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "RocketLuncher_mult", 1, card.ability.odds, "RocketLauncher_mult") then
                return {
                      mult = card.ability.mult,
                      extra = {
                        func = function()
                              SMODS.calculate_effect({ mult = card.ability.mult }, card)
                              SMODS.destroy_cards(card, nil, nil)
                              G.GAME.pool_flags.RocketLauncher_extinct = true
                        end,
                        extra = {
                              message = 'BOOM!',
                              colour = G.C.RED,
                              sound = 'DRY_EXPLODE'
                        }
                      }
                }
            else
                if not context.blueprint then
                    return {
                    message = 'No Ammo!',
                }
                end
            end
        end
    end

[clear ocean]

what do you think of this challange idea? if the deck needs to work with straights i can add sixes or aces

[frosty rampart]

remove the SMODS.calculate_effect call from the first extra table, that's where the second mult is coming from

[copper perch]

Thank you :)

[exotic estuary]

Hi ive made a joker and all has gone well but im not sure how to show (Currently X__ Mult) like other scaling jokers such as hologram, would love some help thanks 🙂

[clear ocean]

otter gang

[exotic estuary]

🔥

[clear ocean]

loc_vars and return the xmult and then make a line in your loc table in the joker file or a separate loc file

{C:inactive}(Currently {X:mult,C:white}X#1#{C:inactive} Mult)

[faint yacht]

Forgot the X with #1#.

[clear ocean]

woops

here's vanillaremade for hologram

joker
loc file

[exotic estuary]

ohh okay, ive been using vanillaremade, just never found that specific section of it thanks!!

[tranquil gull]

was stumped on what to draw and decided "fuck it lets be silly" :3

[peak coral]

where are Loyalty Card's loyalty_active and loyalty_inactive functions defined? i can't seem to figure out where they're pulled from in the localisation

asking because i want to make a card that does something every n hands played but i'm not sure what allows other cards like that to do such a thing

[clear ocean]

should i make it where you start with more capital

maybe $10 or $12?

[clear ocean]

@long sun IMPORTANT 🗣️

[clear ocean]

Check this out

[peak coral]

good stuff

[peak coral]

oh!. huh. what file is this?

[daring fern]

en-us.lua

[peak coral]

really ? i wasn't able to find it there

probably just a vremade thing

[daring fern]

Yes, it only exists in the game files.

[peak coral]

cool, thanks !

[lean whale]

i fw it

anywhere to learn more about context.whatever and what possibilities there are?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-context

[gilded goblet]

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

This could also be a good starting point

There's a Smods file with all possible contexts but I do not recall where that is located

Or what it is called

[red flower]

it's in the lsp_defs but it's hard to read and i would discourage pointing beginners to it since it lists things that are not main contexts at the same level as them

[gilded goblet]

Yeahh

Just letting them know

[fathom star]

how do i iadd music to a booster?

[lean whale]

is there a way to use
SMODS.destroy_cards(SMODS.find_card('j_jam_gaming'))
(have a blind destroy a certain joker) but accounting for eternals (which should not be deleted)

[red flower]

it should account for eternals

[lean whale]

cool thx

[crystal perch]

i'm having a problem where SMODS.add_card seems to not be reading my card ability correctly and always makes rare jokers (rarity 3) instead of the specified rarity

calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.setting_blind and card.area == G.jokers then
            local right_joker = nil
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then 
                    if G.jokers.cards[i + 1] ~= nil then -- Ensure right Joker exists
                        right_joker = G.jokers.cards[i + 1] 
                    end
                end
            end
            if right_joker ~= nil and not right_joker.ability.eternal then -- Get right joker rarity and slice it
                right_joker.getting_sliced = true
                card.ability.extra.doodle_rarity = right_joker.config.center.rarity
                print(card.ability.extra.doodle_rarity)
                G.GAME.joker_buffer = G.GAME.joker_buffer - 1
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        G.GAME.joker_buffer = 0
                        -- See note about SMODS Scaling Manipulation on the wiki
                        card:juice_up(0.8, 0.8)
                        right_joker:start_dissolve({ HEX("57ecab") }, nil, 1.6)
                        return true
                    end
                }))
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ -- Create new Joker
                    func = function()
                        SMODS.add_card {
                            set = 'Joker',
                            rarity = card.ability.extra.doodle_rarity,
                            key_append = 'chak_doodle_joker',
                            allow_duplicates = false
                        }
                        return true
                    end
                }))
                return {
                    message = "Doodled!",
                    colour = G.C.CHAK_TOKEN
                }
            end
        end
    end

basically it's a joker that destroys the joker to the right, and replaces it with a random joker of its rarity

and card.ability.extra.doodle_rarity does get set properly as is confirmed by the print, it's just that SMODS.add_card seems to be reading it incorrectly

[red flower]

add_card's rarity takes a number that represents the roll for the rarity between 0 and 1, so it doesn't use the normal 1, 2, 3 values for rarity

(this is in the wiki)

you want something like { "Common", "Uncommon", "Rare", "Legendary" }[other_rarity]

[crystal perch]

so i have to translate it into a string if it's a number

[red flower]

yes

[crystal perch]

gotcha

i was confused because i've used it to specifiy rarity in the past, but i did use strings that time so makes sense

[lean whale]

Can blinds display infoqueues aside from the normal description

same as jokers and tarots do

[red flower]

no afaik

blindexpander can do that iirc

[vale zinc]

Within context.individual, how do I know what the current card is for, say, card_eval_status_text()?

[frosty rampart]

it's context.other_card

[lucid owl]

wondering how much hell it would be to program the player replaying a specific blind, like the same blind in that ante, if a requirement isn't met

[vale zinc]

You could probably just take a peek in G.GAME.defeated_blinds.

[red flower]

if you want to seamlessly retry the current blind idk but if you just want it to immediately play a blind again you can look at how i do extra blinds for hotpot

for the former you can maybe look at multi-phase blinds in blindexpander

[vale zinc]

"blindexpander"? What's that?

[red flower]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1339575571377557557

[lucid owl]

immediately playing again should be fine, the idea is that the shop will be skipped between the blind and its "retry"

[red flower]

yeah that's kinda what i do for the hotpot events but in a different order

it's actually not that much code

[copper perch]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local glass_numerator, glass_denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.glass_odds, 'DRY_oddity_break')
        local luck_mult_numerator, luck_mult_denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.luck_mult_odds, 'DRY_oddity_luck_mult')
        local luck_dollars_numerator, luck_dollars_denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.luck_dollars_odds, 'DRY_oddity_luck_money')
        return {
            vars = { card.ability.glass_Xmult, glass_numerator, glass_denominator },
            vars = { card.ability.bonus, card.ability.mult },
            vars = { card.ability.steel_x_mult },
            vars = { card.ability.gold_dollars },
            vars = { luck_mult_numerator, luck_dollars_numerator, card.ability.extra.mult, luck_mult_denominator, card.ability.extra.dollars, luck_dollars_denominator }

        }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
            local ret = {}
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'DRY_oddity_luck_mult', 1, card.ability.extra.luck_mult_odds) then
                card.lucky_trigger = true
                ret.mult = card.ability.extra.luck_mult
            end
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'DRY_oddity_luck_money', 1, card.ability.extra.luck_dollars_odds) then
                card.lucky_trigger = true
                ret.dollars = card.ability.extra.luck_dollars
            end
            return ret
        end
        if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == card and
            SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'DRY_oddity_break', 1, card.ability.extra.glass_odds) then
            card.glass_trigger = true
            return { remove = true }
        end
    end,

Trying to combine all vanilla card enchantments into 1. Feel I'm missing a lot though...

Know I need to combine all my vars in loc_vars, but feels like I need more

[hidden mirage]

Is there such thing as a quantum seal and if so how do you check if a card has a seal (quantum or not)

[daring fern]

No, but yes, if card:get_seal()

[crystal perch]

this is kinda out there but how would i make a joker cause you to draw your cards from your deck unshuffled, like in the order they appear in your full deck

[hidden mirage]

Thanks

[daring fern]

Hook CardArea:shuffle

[hidden mirage]

how to check if a card has a specific seal

[daring fern]

if card:get_seal() == 'modprefix_key'

[hidden mirage]

thanks, i got caught up because you can use strings as bools in lua

[crystal perch]

tried hooking, but i keep getting this crash :/
here's the code

local shuffle_ref = CardArea.shuffle
function CardArea:shuffle(_seed)
  local ret = shuffle_ref(_seed)
  if G.GAME.modifiers.omicron = true then
    table.sort(self.cards, function (a, b) return a:get_nominal('suit') > b:get_nominal('suit') end )
    self:set_ranks()
  end
  return ret
end

the logic behind the hook was that i have to re-sort the table if it's already pre-shuffled when a new pseudoshuffle is called

[daring fern]

shuffle_ref(self, _seed)

Also you should only do it if self == G.deck

[crystal perch]

yeah i was going to considering how i saw immolate also uses it but i just wanted to make sure the hook worked first

speaking of which

[daring fern]

Code?

[crystal perch]

same code just with self, seed

local shuffle_ref = CardArea.shuffle
function CardArea:shuffle(_seed)
  local ret = shuffle_ref(self, _seed)
  if G.GAME.modifiers.omicron = true then
    table.sort(self.cards, function (a, b) return a:get_nominal('suit') > b:get_nominal('suit') end )
    self:set_ranks()
  end
  return ret
end

[daring fern]

Yes, it's == not = when comparing.

[crystal perch]

this is the code

the reason it's calling for main.lua nil val at line 9 is cuz i have a separate hooks file, and line 9 is where it gets loaded

see?

oh fuck.

yo i'm stupid and tired i forgot to add a second = to the if statement 😭

works now thank you

[daring fern]

Install the Lua extension.

[crystal perch]

i have but it doesn't recognise all the custom funcs etc so it just puts errors everywhere

[mystic river]

i have a tag that makes you refight a boss, i patched in a tag calculate check right before the code that ends the round and then the tag sets score to 0 and goes

so if you wanted a complete refight, you would presumably also reset hands and reshuffle the deck

[astral sleet]

this joker feels too complicated for a common but not strong enough to be anything above that

not sure

[copper perch]

would there be somewhere I can find all the code for the vanilla enchantments? Not every calculate function is in the vanilla remake, only what the card would basically do

[daring fern]

Yes, because it's in the config

[copper perch]

so some things would only need the config then and no calculate?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[copper perch]

ah

so like bonus and mult for example, they have no calculate but they still need their numbers calculated. Would a return only be needed?

I guess so cause I have that and it works...weird

[hidden mirage]

cards from G.playing_cards have a nil self?

I cant call get seal

[daring fern]

No, you put bonus and mult in the config

[daring fern]

Code?

[hidden mirage]

if G.playing_cards then
    for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
        if playing_card.get_seal() == "mymod_Orange" then 
            tally = tally + 1 
        end
    end
end```

[daring fern]

No, it's playing_card:get_seal()

[hidden mirage]

😔 thanks

[copper perch]

yup, just figured it out. My bad 😅

also, would there be a way to make a playing card enchantment that cannot be debuffed?

[umbral zodiac]

when you return an effect table in a mods global calculate function, what card is considered to be the one scoring

[daring fern]

G.deck.cards[1]

[reef belfry]

how do you check for a jokers rarity that was added to the deck

[umbral zodiac]

oh

strange but thank you

[daring fern]

if context.debuff_card and context.debuff_card == card then
    return {prevent_debuff = true}
end

[daring fern]

card.config.center.rarity

[copper perch]

Thank you :)

[serene granite]

is there a way tro detect cards that are played but arent scored? i am trying to find it but cant

[daring fern]

context.cardarea == 'unscored'

[wicked leaf]

can you somehow make hands not reset at the end of round?

through a hook or smth

[granite jay]

How do you make a joker detect if you’ve bought something and how much the bought item costed?

[reef belfry]

how do I incorporate that here....

[daring fern]

context.buying_card, context.card.cost

[daring fern]

context.card.config.center.rarity

[hidden mirage]

one time a card in G.playing_cards wasnt detected, any ideas why, like it being in final scoring hand or something

[wicked leaf]

I have a better idea actually

is there a way to remove the hands/discards UI?

[serene granite]

i think this work but the effect i want isnt exactly working, i am trying to detect, unscored lucky cards

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

Hook create_UIBox_HUD

[wicked leaf]

is there a wiki I can look at for UI stuff like that?

I might haev found one in the smods wiki hgold on

I believe I would have to anchor the new UI to the hands/discards

and then remove the original UI?

[wicked leaf]

ugh, this one doesnt tell me how to anchor it

[hidden mirage]

whats the table for cards still in deck?

[daring fern]

G.deck.cards

[hidden mirage]

aah thanks

[wicked leaf]

what's the variable for the current hands remaining in the round?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.current_round.hands_left

[wicked leaf]

thanku

[copper perch]

So I have all this code (bottom is the only real important one, supposed to make it so the special cards are not debuffed, yet they are)

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
            local ret = {}
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'DRY_oddity_luck_mult', 1, card.ability.extra.luck_mult_odds) then
                card.lucky_trigger = true
                ret.mult = card.ability.extra.luck_mult
            end
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'DRY_oddity_luck_money', 1, card.ability.extra.luck_dollars_odds) then
                card.lucky_trigger = true
                ret.dollars = card.ability.extra.luck_dollars
            end
            return ret
        end
        if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == card and
            SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'DRY_oddity', 1, card.ability.extra.glass_odds) then
            card.glass_trigger = true
            return { remove = true }
        end
        if context.debuff_card and context.debuff_card == card then
            return {prevent_debuff = true}
        end
    end,

If the cards are made in the boss blind, they're fine. If outside of them, they get debuffed

[granite jay]

How do you make it so the game refers to anything in the misc part when making popups?

Like G.P_MISC.g_handfire

[wicked leaf]

how do you stop a blind from appearing in the run?

[long sun]

AWHHHHHH GHOST OMGOMGOMG :D

[wicked leaf]

is it ease_discard or ease_discards?

its ease_discard alright

this isnt working for some reason

[daring fern]

G.GAME.banned_keys['bl_modprefix_key'] = true

[daring fern]

context.main_scoringbefore doesn't exist.

[wicked leaf]

wait i misspasted something

THIS doesnt work

trying to make it give back a discard on discard

[daring fern]

No, it's context.pre_discard

[wicked leaf]

ohhh got it

yeah that works

thank you

does apply NEED to have an add_event inside?

just curious

actually doesnt seem like it+

[maiden phoenix]

Not necessary

I think I used one for deck manip once iirc

[wicked leaf]

how do you destroy the entire deck?

(its for a deck)

[daring fern]

SMODS.destroy_cards(G.playing_cards)

[wicked leaf]

thank you

holo edition is e_holo and red seal is s_red, right?

[daring fern]

No, it's Red

[wicked leaf]

huh

[slim ferry]

seals dont have a prefix

[wicked leaf]

yeah from what I heard seals are just

the jankiest thing in the game

[slim ferry]

not really

theyre fine code wise

(and also i didnt know card.ability.seal existed but shh)

[wicked leaf]

its crashing my game

[daring fern]

Log?

[wicked leaf]

wait shit I might know why?

or not

let me check smth first

[daring fern]

You need to do it in an event.

[wicked leaf]

i got no clue what I did wrong

ohhh

OOPS

I forgot to return true

ok so

its not adding the card to the deck

and its keeping it on the screen

and im tryna figure out why

[daring fern]

It's SMODS.add_card

[wicked leaf]

so I suspected

thank you yet again

ive already added you to my mod's credits because you have helped so much lmao

[hidden mirage]

Do custom global variables (like G.deck.my_mod_var) get saved when you quit to main menu and stuff?

[daring fern]

No, only ones in G.GAME

[hidden mirage]

Ah okay thanks!

[wicked leaf]

i suppose youd have to savwe them manually

[burnt tide]

are operations such as square root, cosine, etc. possible?

[slim ferry]

math.sqrt, math.cos

theres a lot of mathematical functions that you can use

[burnt tide]

where can i find them ?

[slim ferry]

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/lua/lua_math_library.htm i think this has most of them

[burnt tide]

thanks

[real crown]

How can I add Legendary Jokers to the normal Joker pool?

[wicked leaf]

is there a way to specify a key with context.using_consumeable?

[daring fern]

if context.consumeable.config.center.key == 'c_modprefix_key'

[wicked leaf]

thank you

this stuff should really be listed on the wiki

[wicked leaf]

ough

[daring fern]

No, it's context.consumeable also you need to check for context.using_consumeable

[wicked leaf]

ohh

got it

[wicked leaf]

also crashing

[daring fern]

No, you need to check context.using_consumeable first.

[wicked leaf]

ah

ill swap them then

[queen meadow]

yo chat is this possible

probably a big ask

[umbral spire]

I don't know why that happens ? I've never worked with blinds yet, maybe some1 else will know.

[cunning valley]

Hello! I'm trying to make a Poker hand that contains an Ace and two 5s, but the game doesn't seem to recognize it when I select the cards. It does appear in the "run info" ui but nothing else, would anyone be able to give a hand here?

[umbral spire]

pun intended? 😭

-# also idk mb

[cunning valley]

Yes the Ass joke is entirely the purpose of the hand type

[umbral spire]

also why dont you use VsCode?

[cunning valley]

I believe I improved the code a little since i completely forgot a section, now it checks for the Ace, and a pair of 5s. However, selecting said cards crashes the game

[cunning valley]

what's that?

[umbral spire]

Code Editor

[cunning valley]

oh thats neat imma get that

[umbral spire]

or is that Visual Studio light mode?

[cunning valley]

nah thats notepad++

[umbral spire]

https://code.visualstudio.com/download

[umbral spire]

gng 🥀

[frosty rampart]

use vscodium so you don't get microsoft's telemetry and other junk

[cunning valley]

oop, well, guess i gotta uninstall visualstudio

also hi meta !!

[frosty rampart]

helo

[umbral spire]

what's with the "other junk"? 🥀

[frosty rampart]

branding

[umbral spire]

does it have extensions?

[frosty rampart]

it should yea

[umbral spire]

wdym "it should"

have you even used it ;-;

[frosty rampart]

i don't actually use vscodium because i'm not a big enjoyer of IDEs
but vscodium is literally vscode source code with a different json used for the build process

[umbral spire]

i dont see an extensions tab ;-;

[umbral spire]

🤷‍♂️

[umbral spire]

then what do you use?

[frosty rampart]

installation process is different but extensions do work
https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/docs/extensions.md

[frosty rampart]

neovim

[umbral spire]

o

[umbral spire]

never heard of it

[cunning valley]

Well, things look much more pleasing now!

But it's still crashing when trying to select the 3 cards (ace + pair of 5s)

to be more specific, the game crash mentions that Line 28 attempts to index a nil value

if set[1]:get_id() == 14 and _has14 == false then

(line 28 for reference)

[elder rune]

How do you update a jokers description while still hovering over it

[umbral spire]

uh i dont think thats possible

[elder rune]

misprint does that

[cunning valley]

Oh true

[ashen drift]

misprint returns a node

you could do some ui jank if you want

[frosty rampart]

oh y'know what
that first for loop gets you individual cards, not subtables
so you should change line 27 to be for i, card in ipairs(hand) do and then change line 28 to just be if card:get_id() == ...

[elder rune]

okay it seems simple-ish to do now that I checked how Cryptid did it

[cunning valley]

what's a subtable?

[umbral spire]

oh

[daring fern]

A table that is in another table.

[cunning valley]

Makes sense!
Code wise that explains a lot but that sounds like a funny description outside of coding lmao

Nonetheless, it doesn't crash anymore! But it doesn't register either, it still counts as a Pair

This is basically the same problem i've had for the longest time, still puzzles me

[ashen drift]

try setting above_hand?

[cunning valley]

above_hand? is that like a subtable or smth? I'm not too well versed in this type of stuff so im not too sure what that means

OH above_hand is the priority of the hand, right

[ashen drift]

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

[cunning valley]

Doesn't seem to change anything. Hand order is dependant on the product of chips and mult anyways, and the chips and mult I gave it are higher than the ones of a pair so it would already have priority over them

I dont think the issue is the priority, rather that it cant detect the cards for the hand type

[cunning valley]

Did that! It stopped the crashing but it doesnt detect the cards

[elder rune]

I read that first as "ass hair"

[cunning valley]

BAHADVGHJFGHJSG

[frosty rampart]

oh wait
you don't need the other_hands check at all, and that's causing a problem rn

[ashen drift]

oh i think this is fucking it up

[frosty rampart]

yea

[ashen drift]

youre checking for a pair and if it has a pair it doesnt register

so its killed

[frosty rampart]

you don't need the other_hands check at all because a flush can still contain a pair, and it'll score above an ass so it'll give you a flush not an ass

[cunning valley]

oh bother 🤦‍♂️

[frosty rampart]

and a straight can't contain an ass in the first place

unless you give an above_hands, hand order is auto-determined by the hand's base score at level 1

[cunning valley]

Well that sounds like a simple fix! Problem is... still the same issue

Cards aren't being detected

I'm super grateful for you people's help though, i don't doubt that this is an improvement and I thank yall so much!

If anything I'll put this here in the meanwhile if anyone wants to give it a go, i gotta do other stuff related to the mod

[ashen drift]

whats pkr_ass the variable

[cunning valley]

Oh it's the key

i think?

[ashen drift]

did you want to return the string

[cunning valley]

I copied it straight from yahimod's jerma poker hand so i'm not entirely sure what it does, all i saw was that it modified the display text and i thought it was necessary for it to... well, display the text

If thats what it needs to display text then yeah i want it to return, otherwise i dont know what this would be for

[umbral spire]

how do yall test boosters?

[ashen drift]

cant you just spawn it with debugplus

[umbral spire]

idk

can you?

[cunning valley]

You can go to the collection and spawn them in by pressing 3 while hovering over it

[umbral spire]

ohh

right

[ashen drift]

i think you can

[umbral spire]

ik you can press 3, i just forgot that boosters were in there lol

[slim sundial]

Can someone tell me why this crashes?

[cunning valley]

Pretty sure the ". . ." needs a coma at the end

[ashen drift]

no its fine

theres no other value in the table

[cunning valley]

oh true

[ashen drift]

is Tarots.png in assets?

also, crash log

[slim sundial]

Should be

[ashen drift]

oh

its SMODS.Consumable

the function

[slim sundial]

oh

thanks

[umbral spire]

why does this crash?

[ashen drift]

send the crash log urggghhg

[umbral spire]

oh mb

[ashen drift]

okay first

the set is "Joker"

without the s

[umbral spire]

o

I always do that 😭

[ashen drift]

2nd

i dont think you return an actual card

create_card = function(self, card, i)
ease_background_colour(HEX("b48aff"))
return { set = "Joker", area = G.pack_cards, skip_materialize = true, soulable = true}
end,

[umbral spire]

just this?

whats the bool 'soulable' for?

[queen crescent]

in a localization file, where do i put this key 😭

[elder rune]

its something about the soul consumable afaik

[ashen drift]

so cards with soul_set can appear

[lean whale]

depends what it is

[queen crescent]

consumabletype

[slim sundial]

Can u tell me what the issue is? My code is: SMODS.Consumable({
set = "Celestial",
key = "the_moon",
pos = {
x = 0,
y = 0
},
loc_txt = {
name = "The Moon",
text = {
"..."
}
},
atlas = "Tarots",
cost = 3,
discovered = true
})

[lean whale]

ok lemme look

[elder rune]

misc.dictionary.k_trinket

[ashen drift]

you havent initiated the consumable type

[queen crescent]

so in dictionary

[ashen drift]

hm

[elder rune]

ye

[slim sundial]

How can i do that?

[ashen drift]

wait im stupid i think its another typo

[lean whale]

ah cool I didn't know that

[ashen drift]

set = "Planet"

[slim sundial]

oh ty

[lean whale]

also u need to add the mod prefix

[elder rune]

also, b_trinket_cards is important cause that is what appears in collection

[umbral spire]

it did this?

[ashen drift]

so it works

[umbral spire]

technically

[queen crescent]

um (its in misc)

[umbral spire]

idk why it says 'ERROR' tho

[queen crescent]

never forget the prefix

[elder rune]

this is how it looks for my consumable set in localization

[ashen drift]

99% of these issues can be resolved by checking vremade

[elder rune]

true

[umbral spire]

do i do the filter for my mods' cards?

[ashen drift]

probably

[queen crescent]

starts crying

i swear if the prefix fixes it

[elder rune]

b_trinket_cards is also needed

it is what displays in the collection

[umbral spire]

i dont think it filtered correctly

[queen crescent]

oh my god bruh

[elder rune]

idk what else to say that is what works for me

[daring fern]

Yes, filter doesn't exist.

[umbral spire]

vro what

[elder rune]

_cards

b_trinket_cards

[umbral spire]

[ashen drift]

by the way you should put ease background color as its own arguement in smods booster

[queen crescent]

ive been ed

[umbral spire]

wdym?

[elder rune]

[ashen drift]

ease_background_colour = function(self)
ease_background_colour{new_colour = your color, special_colour = your color 2}
end,

[umbral spire]

oh

[tepid crow]

why would you think it does? 🤔

[ashen drift]

okay i was wrong you can return a card

[umbral spire]

🤷‍♂️

[umbral spire]

vro

[elder rune]

It'd be a good function tho

[tepid crow]

we're just throwing random functions at the screen and hoping it works? 😭

[umbral spire]

indeed

well then, how do i make it filter?

[tepid crow]

good stuff

documentation and examples are a chore to read

[umbral spire]

like this or?

[umbral spire]

real

[umbral spire]

?

[tepid eagle]

why isn't my code working

[elder rune]

so you create a card with a background color?

[elder rune]

end

[ashen drift]

function get_your_mod_card(seed)
    local cards = {}
    for i, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
        if v.set == "Joker" and G.P_CENTERS[v.key].original_mod.id == "your mod id" then
            cards[#cards+1] = v
        end
    end
    return pseudorandom_element(cards, pseudoseed(seed))

            return newCard
        end
        return {key = "j_joker"}
    end,

[tepid eagle]

ok i fixed it

[umbral spire]

will how yahimod does it work?

SMODS.Booster{

}

[elder rune]

good

[ashen drift]

remove the underscores too evil

[elder rune]

they create a custom set of jokers with every Yahimod joker

[umbral spire]

o

[ashen drift]

80% sure this works

[ashen drift]

its mega jank thoughj

[umbral spire]

what do i put for the 'seed'arg

[rare torrent]

came here to ask how to make a custom booster pack with jokers from my mod, and someone is already asking that🙏

[ashen drift]

anything

[lean whale]

my boss blind icon works in every other context except when I'm in the battle itself, any ideas to why it could be?

[daring fern]

Code?

[elder rune]

should be a ConsumableType

[ashen drift]

can you add mario ascii art

[daring fern]

It's 34 not 32

[lean whale]

ah

[broken rivet]

is it possible to add a floating sprite layer to a tag

[elder rune]

what

[lean whale]

thx

[elder rune]

legendary tag

[umbral spire]

how is that a shit bunch o' code 🥀 ?

[ashen drift]

just put the function def anywhere before the booster call

[umbral spire]

so like:

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'boosters',
    path = 'boosters.png', 
    px = 71,
    py = 96,
}


function getCard(seed)
    local cards = {}
    for i, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
        if v.set == "Joker" and allowed_sets[v.set] and G.P_CENTERS[v.key].original_mod.id == "JarzMod" then
            cards[#cards+1] = v
        end
    end
    return pseudorandom_element(cards, pseudoseed(seed))
end

SMODS.Booster{
    key = 'booster_jarz',
    group_key = 'jj_jarz_booster_group',
    atlas = 'boosters',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    discovered = true,

    loc_txt = {
        name = "Jarz Pack",
        text = {
            "Pick {C:attention}#1#{} card out of",
            "{C:attention}#2#{} {C:attention}Jarz{} jokers!"
        },
        group_name = {''}, -- idk what this is for
    },

    draw_hand = false,

    config = {
        extra = 3,   -- number of cards offered
        choose = 1,  -- number player picks
    },

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

    weight = 1,
    cost = 5,
    kind = "JarzPack",
    select_card = 'jokers',

    create_card = function(self, card, i)
        local c = getCard("jarz_mod")
        if c then
            local newCard = SMODS.create_card{
                key = c.key,
                skip_materialize = true
            }
            return newCard
        end
        return {key = "j_joker"}
    end,

    in_pool = function(self)
        return true
    end
}

[lean whale]

so 34 and 68?

as in 34x34 and 68x68?

[ashen drift]

should work

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lean whale]

does the icon fill the whole canvas space or is there a 1px gap

[ashen drift]

this is so much effort

i love this

[rare torrent]

it isn't working (im also doing the same thing so i just borrowed the code😭 🙏 )

[elder rune]

I think its missing calculation

should probably give like -1 chips

[ashen drift]

oh yeah i fucked up

remove allowed sets

function get_your_mod_card(seed)
    local cards = {}
    for i, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
        if v.set == "Joker" and and G.P_CENTERS[v.key].original_mod and G.P_CENTERS[v.key].original_mod.id == "your mod id" then
            cards[#cards+1] = v
        end
    end
    return pseudorandom_element(cards, pseudoseed(seed))
end

[queen crescent]

isthat

[rare torrent]

now this is crashing

[ashen drift]

add an original mod check

[ashen drift]

read up

[rare torrent]

how?

[daring fern]

Why are you doing G.P_CENTERS[v.key] instead of just v?

[queen crescent]

i presume consumable loc goes in other = {}, or is it also misc

[ashen drift]

isnt v just the card

[daring fern]

No, v is the center.

[queen crescent]

@elder rune you're knowledgable

[daring fern]

Because it's iterating over G.P_CENTERS

[ashen drift]

my point is v is a table right

[elder rune]

other iirc

[ashen drift]

oh wait

[elder rune]

nope wait

[ashen drift]

im stupid

[rare torrent]

wait i figured it out just do this
if v.set == "Joker" and v.mod and v.mod.id == "omegatro" then

[ashen drift]

anyways both should work so im lazy

[queen crescent]

whuh

[ashen drift]

i copied the code elsewhere

[elder rune]

if its a consumable from a modded consumable set then its under [name of set]

[daring fern]

No, use v.original_mod

[queen crescent]

so i have to make another category

[elder rune]

ye

[rare torrent]

why? it's working

[queen crescent]

this gonna work?

[slim ferry]

for what??

[umbral spire]

still says "Error"
'

[slim ferry]

you screenshotted a single line cro

[rare torrent]

that's the group name in loc_txt

[umbral spire]

oh thats what that is for

[ashen drift]

its in the docs guys

[slim ferry]

original_mod is the mod that added the item, mod is the last mod that took ownership of the item

[ashen drift]

check the docs

[elder rune]

if the consumable set is called that then ye

[rare torrent]

ah i see

[umbral spire]

ew

[ashen drift]

???

[tepid eagle]

just use dowhatiwant()

[umbral spire]

oh that'll work

[rare torrent]

cmon as a greek letter myself as well i find it good to check the docs

[frosty rampart]

with all due respect, checking the docs is an integral skill for modding or software development, and refusing to do it just means you aren't going to get the answers you're looking for

[broken rivet]

ok is it possible to have two object nodes stack on top of each other

[umbral spire]

not a true greek letter 🥀

[ashen drift]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Booster line 5

[umbral spire]

-# you dont have the pfp

[frosty rampart]

because no one is interested in repeating what's already been documented in an easy to read centralized place

[umbral spire]

bro i was joking

😭

😭🙏

[queen crescent]

i presume its the b

-# or is it the k this time

[frosty rampart]

hard to tell

[elder rune]

definitely k, just figure out from these one ig im tryna fix my own thing

[queen crescent]

ok

[ashen drift]

indeed

[rare torrent]

but do i still use mod id? because if so it's not working it's only spawning jimbos

[umbral spire]

🥀

[slim ferry]

original_mod.id

?

[rare torrent]

oh

forgor the .id my bad

[broken rivet]

i want the soul crystal to render over the tag here
also want to make the soul crystal move but unsure how to do that

[umbral spire]

like?

[ashen drift]

should work

wait

no

[umbral spire]

it worked before

[ashen drift]

v.original_mod.id

[rare torrent]

mine is like this if v.set == "Joker" and v.mod and v.original_mod.id == "omegatro" then

[ashen drift]

be consistent

[umbral spire]

o

[umbral spire]

maybe do v.original_mod aswell, instead of 'v.mod'

[rare torrent]

btw i still don't get how this works

[queen crescent]

sob

[ashen drift]

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

[elder rune]

are you sure its under Candy

[ashen drift]

under api methods

[elder rune]

in the localization

[queen crescent]

yes

[rare torrent]

i know brah but it only says this

[elder rune]

and what about k_candy?

[ashen drift]

yeah you run the ease background color function inside the arguement function

[queen crescent]

k_candy is chilling in misc dictionary

[rare torrent]

but what does "new color", "your color" "special_color" mean?

[ashen drift]

ease_background_colour is a built in balatro function

[elder rune]

okay I checked mine, the consumables are supposed to be under the name of the key of the set

[ashen drift]

newcolor and special color are the indexes

its just what balatro takes in

[rare torrent]

ohhhhhhh

[ashen drift]

your color can be HEX("hex code") or something in G.C

[queen crescent]

uhhh

[elder rune]

candy

[rare torrent]

and where do i put that snipet of code?

[queen crescent]

i dont get it 😭

[elder rune]

the key to your consumable type

[ashen drift]

new_colour = HEX("something")

inside the ease bg color func

[rare torrent]

can i do this?

[queen crescent]

ok so in short; move Candy = {} to below dictionary?

[ashen drift]

no then youd have to set G.C.maybeBLUE

[queen crescent]

then thats part of misc

[elder rune]

is candy under descriptions

[rare torrent]

okay yayy it worked thanks yous

[elder rune]

brb gotta C O N S U M E

[queen crescent]

yes

why wouldnt it be

[umbral spire]

boosters are 71x95 right?

[ashen drift]

99.99% of cards are 71 95

[daring fern]

Yes.

[umbral spire]

not really a card, but alr

[daring fern]

No, all cards are.

[ashen drift]

i was off by 0.01%

[umbral spire]

how do i make this where it desn't choose legendaries, or does it already not choose legendaries?

function getCard(seed)
    local cards = {}
    for i, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
        if v.set == "Joker" and v.original_mod and v.original_mod.id == "JarzMod" then
            cards[#cards+1] = v
        end
    end
    return pseudorandom_element(cards, pseudoseed(seed))
end

[ashen drift]

and v.rarity ~= 4

[umbral spire]

like ^?

[ashen drift]

yes

[lean whale]

to create the animation for the boss tags, do I need a specific setup apart from specifying frames?

[elder rune]

try changing Candy = {} to candy = {}

[queen crescent]

well that's done

[umbral spire]

these boosters dont show up crrectly in collection?

[rare torrent]

how about not spawning custom rarities?

[daring fern]

if type(v.rarity) == 'number'

[rare torrent]

just v.rarity ~= "omega_simp" worked, but what about making the jokers not repeat?

i openned a pack with 3 of the same joker🙏

[umbral spire]

also will the boosters atuomatically spawn in-shop?

[rare torrent]

ye i think so

[umbral spire]

as in, the art either shows nothing or the wrong art, i did the positioning right, i think.

oh i forgot 2x, im so stupid

[rare torrent]

py = 96?

[umbral spire]

^

[rare torrent]

🙏

[umbral spire]

95 works fine

[rare torrent]

yeah but you have py = 96

[umbral spire]

o

mb typo

[umbral spire]

i see

i meant 95 lol

[thorn basin]

small question: how can you add a custom joker into a vanilla-made pool?
I mean that I made a food joker but I'm not sure how to insert it in the pool of food jokers.

[frosty rampart]

there is no food pool in vanilla

[thorn basin]

oh, I thought there was

[frosty rampart]

nope, it's a conceptual set but there's nothing for it code-wise

[thorn basin]

oh aight then lol

[broken rivet]

,

[rare torrent]

again vro🙏 how to make the jokers not repeat themselves?

[tepid eagle]

holy shit aro ace arrow ace

[umbral spire]

is there a way to download the entire wiki

[rare torrent]

yes💪

[umbral spire]

wowie that art is good

-# also idk

[rare torrent]

thank you fellow greek letter

but omega is the superior greek letter

[umbral spire]

look at my lazy ah art

[umbral spire]

sigma is just more sigma

[rare torrent]

😭🙏, could be worse tho

[umbral spire]

im not use to (approx.) 64x 😭

i usually draw with 16x or 8x, rarely 32x

[umbral spire]

-# iykyk

[rare torrent]

here's some of my other joker (don't ask questions)

[umbral spire]

its so peak

what is that 4th one tho 😭

are those wheel of fortunes? 😭

[rare torrent]

yes

[umbral spire]

peak

[umbral spire]

ig not

[rare torrent]

also this is one of my favorites

[rare torrent]

yea i don't think so

[umbral spire]

why is your mouse at 4k quality

16k*

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/Wiki/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

[umbral spire]

oh lets go

[rare torrent]

my bad my mouse is very big because i am legally blind (also i use a custom mouse skin)

[red river]

which part of game code is responsible for context.from_area and context.to_area? for patching purposes

[umbral spire]

what does "legally blind" really mean?

[rare torrent]

idk

[umbral spire]

😭

[umbral spire]

nah it alr

[daring fern]

Blind:stay_flipped

[red river]

is it? i don't see any context calculations (black clover stuff is another unrelated patch)

[daring fern]

No, it's in src/overrides.lua in SMODS

[hallow slate]

Sigma ???

[red river]

oh

[red river]

i see now, thanks!

[lean whale]

I need help animating the boss blind chip, I added the glimmering and that's working properly, but it also scrolls from one frame to the other like a powerpoint transition (all frames are contained within the same file)

bottom one is the file with the frames

[hallow slate]

How would I make a negative sticker

Like a sticker that gives an extra slot

[sage crater]

Is there a way to copy a card without it visually appearing?

[daring fern]

local copied_card = copy_card(card)
copied_card.states.visible = false

[daring fern]

apply = function(self, card, val) card.ability.card_limit = (card.ability.card_limit or 0) + (val and 1 or -1) end

[sage crater]

Fire

[elder rune]

im asking

[sage crater]

Ok so I should be more specific too, because basically what I’m gonna do is

• copy the card
• destroy the card
• put the card in a list (table)
• randomly choose a card in the list
• call context.joker_main on it

Is this possible?

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[sage crater]

kirby

[daring fern]

You mean it destroys jokers and takes their effects?

[vale zinc]

It's offset by a little bit. The game looks at each 34*34 frame as having the two separate edges within.

[sage crater]

yes

[vale zinc]

Also, how'd you determine the colors for the gleam effect?

[daring fern]

#⚙・modding-general message

[vale grove]

how do i make a joker lose money at the end of the round

[hallow slate]

I was wondering where mostly cause idk how stickers work in comparison to editions

[daring fern]

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval then return {dollars = -number} end

[vale grove]

thank you

[sage crater]

I see the use of the phrase old_ability. Does it only copy one ability and replaces it when it eats another joker?
Because that's not what I want

[daring fern]

No.

[sage crater]

cool beans

[lean whale]

well I just added differnt frames

and that works

but it also scrolls

[lean whale]

so how do I do it

[vale zinc]

Move the little circle-things around such that each 34*34 space contains just one of those circles, without being cut off. Use the Fill tool to specify the space if that helps.

[lean whale]

so no spaces between them?

i'll try thx

[sage crater]

does it go in the calculate function?
because it's giving me an error whether or not I put it in the calculate function

[vale zinc]

Well, I mean make it so it looks like ()()()() instead of )()()()(.

[lean whale]

btw it doesn't show coz I uploaded a screenshot but it's scrolling through them smoothly, if that changes anything

[vale grove]

how do you change the background colors of balatro

[lean whale]

i'll try to fix

[vale grove]

for example instead of blue and red i want greend and orange

how would one go about this?

[vale zinc]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1217704157574860810 managed to do the same with a wine-colored background; perhaps they know. I don't.

[daring fern]

You're missing context

[sage crater]

oh lmao

duh

[sage crater]

ok it wasn't working, so I decided to just my own code

[lean whale]

thanks a lot, now it works properly apart from a certain artefact I'll try to fix

[sage crater]

also I generally like writing my own code for the sake of learning

since I barely understand lua

[queen crescent]

why do i wanna replace the balatro menu theme so much 😭

[sage crater]

is this done correctly? Also, do I need a second return in this joker_main, or will it work with just the return inside the joker I'm calculating on

[daring fern]

No, also you can't put cards in other cards.

[sage crater]

ah, ok

in that case,

[sage crater]

can you tell me what the shallow_copy method does and how to use it properly?

[daring fern]

It takes a table and puts all the contents of the table in a new table.

[sage crater]

ahh

so I'm going to need a table of tables or something

[queen crescent]

ok i wanna go through with this i just cant pass this up

-# how tho

[sage crater]

wait, I just noticed this is using a global variable

will that work for multiple types of this card in the same hand?

[red river]

so apparently jokers can't see debuffed cards when context.to_area and context.from_area happen, but deck backs can do that(???)

i'm trying to implement this jimbo but it doesn't properly trigger on debuffed cards

patching in custom context for drawing debuffed cards doesn't work either for some reason

[daring fern]

No, context.hand_drawn

[red river]

i tried that but it doesn't achieve best results

i.e. it doesn't trigger when cards are drawn after hand size increase

besides, doing it with a context.to_area hook looks more... eye-pleasing, when it works

when hand size increases mid-turn, it adds cards to your hand

it (usually) triggers context.to_area and context.from_area but not context.hand_drawn

[sage crater]

wait

[sage crater]

what exactly does this code do?

it's not doing what I was expecting

and I think it's doing something cooler

but it's not what I'm looking for

[daring fern]

What are you looking for?

[daring fern]

It chooses a random common joker when the blind is selected, then it creates a fake card of that joker, then it calculates that joker as if it existed.

[sage crater]

ok, so it is doing what I thought it was doing

very, very cool

[sage crater]

• it should consume the joker to the right (like ceremonial dagger)
• then preserve the joker it ate in whatever capacity
• then pick a joker it ate at random and proc it during context.joker_main
  and then the 1 in 2 chance is just a while loop, so I know how to do that part

[daring fern]

You mean you want to forcetrigger the fake joker at context.joker_main?

[sage crater]

yeah

if it's possible, I would want Kirby to act as the eaten joker (including if it can scale or give end-of-round benefits) but for now, I just want to get the proof of concept working

[daring fern]

The code would still work for that, you would just change the calculate_joker part.

[sage crater]

ok

oh, neat

side note: how do you multiplicatively change hand size? Trying to use G.hand here crashed my game

[daring fern]

G.hand.config.card_limit

[sage crater]

fire

btw, did we lose reaction perms, or am I crazy

[sage crater]

If I want to change the pool of jokers Kirby looks at, I would change this rarity_pool variable?

[sage crater]

also, are you sure about this?

is it something with SMODS/Balatro that specifically stops cards within cards? Because I've been able to make tables within a joker table, and a card is just a table with some extra logic

[daring fern]

No, I think you just need a platform role.

[sage crater]

ah ok

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sage crater]

hell yeah

[sage crater]

ok cool

[daring fern]

Yes. No, it's tables with metatables that can't be saved.

[sage crater]

ahh

[daring fern]

Cards have the Card metatable, because they are Cards.

[sage crater]

makes sense 😎 👍

can you return a table with a bunch of these?

[daring fern]

Yes, SMODS.merge_effects

[sage crater]

oh, interesting

[prisma loom]

Can someone explain why I cant run Balatro shaders (editions) via GLSL Canvas?

I keep getting errors

[sage crater]

so does shallow_copy also copy metatables?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sage crater]

FIRE

ok that make so much sense now haha

[sage crater]

so will this work?

[vocal helm]

Trying to make it so that I have a deck that replaces all Planet/Tarot cards in the shop with the Fool; am I doing this right?

local ccfs = create_card_for_shop
function create_card_for_shop(area)
    local card = ccfs(area)
    if G.GAME.selected_back == "b_j8mod_graph" then
        if card.ability.set == "Tarot" or card.ability.set == "Planet" then
            card:set_ability("c_fool")
        end
    end
    return card
end

(for context, other planets/tarots can show up, I think after rerolling as well. Would I have to hook anything else?)

[sage crater]

that's amazing haha

good luck

[vocal helm]

i made a similar deck that does a similar thing so I think I'll hook create-card instead

[daring fern]

Hook CardArea:emplace

[daring fern]

No, you need to do more than just doing SMODS.shallow_copy

Also you still can't put cards in other cards.

[sage crater]

wait what

so is the limiting factor not metadata?

[sage crater]

oh wait, I misunderstood this 😔

[sage crater]

is table.copy() going to work?

[daring fern]

No, you cannot put a card in another card.

[sage crater]

:(

[lean whale]

Can i make a joker display a message when it's deleted

[daring fern]

Yes, use the remove_from_deck function.

[lean whale]

thanks

[solid salmon]

how do i make this turn the discarded cards into wrapped cards?

(wrapped cards are a custom enhancement)

[daring fern]

card:set_ability('m_modprefix_key')

[nova sleet]

new card I made for a Lazy Joker

I don't know how I could make it look more like he is asleep

[solid salmon]

its not workin

[nova sleet]

hold on this channel for modded card art as well? or solely lua shenanigans

[solid salmon]

its for devs

[hardy viper]

both i suppose

[solid salmon]

so its just modding in general

[nova sleet]

well I do intend on making this for a mod

[lean whale]

u can use #⚙・modding-general if unsure

[lean whale]

looks cool

[nova sleet]

intending to make it give you +3 or 4 Mult for every empty played card slot when playing a hand

so basically early game High Card encouragement

[lean whale]

would I put it in the joker's code?

i'm unsure on how to use it properly

[daring fern]

Yes.

[solid salmon]

splash anti-synergy

[nova sleet]

me when Pareidolia and Ride the Bus

[solid salmon]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'festive_joker',
    loc_txt = {
      name = 'Festive Joker',
      text = {'{{C:green}#1# in #2#{} chance to turn discarded cards into wrapped cards}'
            }
   },
   rarity = 3,
   pos = {
      x = 0,
      y = 0
   },
   config = {extra = {odds = 3,}},
   loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'festive_joker')
        return {vars = {numerator,denominator}}
    end,
   cost = 5,
   discovered = true,
   calculate = function (self,card,context)
   if context.discard and context.other_card == card then
        if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'festive_joker', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
            card:set_ability('m_othe_wrapped')
        end
   end
end,
   atlas = "festive_joker"
   }
SMODS.Atlas {
    key = "festive_joker",
    path = "JokerQ.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}

this is not turning cards into wrapped cards

[native bone]

So how do you use the SMODS.psuedorandom_probability?

Im trying to roll a number between 1 and 8

[slim ferry]

SMODS.pseudorandom_probability is only for binary probability rolls

use pseudorandom("seed", 1, 8)

[native bone]

Oh, okay.

Also, how do you debuff a card until something happens, like the end of an ante?

[slim ferry]

you would have to set a flag on it and then use mod calculate to debuff it and remove the flag after

you can also use SMODS.current_mod.set_debuffs or whatever its called for the debuff

[lean whale]

is there a guide on how to use remove_from_deck for different purposes?

[slim ferry]

its just code that runs when removing the card

idk how there would be tutorials for that

[lean whale]

hmm idk i'm having issues

I want the joker to display a message

but I guess that can't happen if the joker is gone

[slim ferry]

return values arent evaluated for remove_from_deck if thats what youre doing

you have to use attention_text i think, see how vanillaremade wheel of fortune uses it

[red flower]

SMODS.calculate_effect({message = "text"}, card)

[native bone]

Meh, fuck it, I would just rather Thanos snap the card then debuff it lol, because my ass is lazy

[lean whale]

where do I implement that

[red flower]

remove_from_deck

[lean whale]

yay works

thanks

do u know how to change the time it's displayed for? was it hold?

[red flower]

delay

[native bone]

Is there something that lists all the colors that you can output through G.C?, like G.C.UPGRADE?

[lean whale]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling

This should be it

[slim ferry]

text styling uses different names and doesnt have access to every colour

[native bone]

Looking through the Balatro source code seems to have answered my questions somewhat

[slim ferry]

also theres G.C.SET and G.C.SECONDARY_SET

which both contain the primary and secondary colours for every set respectively

except that editions dont have a primary colour for some reason

[copper perch]

I'm not wanting this enchantment to be debuffed ever, but for some reason if the enchantment isnt made in the boss blind then it gets debuffed anyways. If it is, then its fine though

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.debuff_card and context.debuff_card == card then
            return {prevent_debuff = true}
        end

[native bone]

Doesnt Entropy have a thing that makes sure a card can never get debuffed?

[copper perch]

Maybe?? I have no clue what that mod is 😅

This enchantment does more than that, but its the only problem I have rn

[native bone]

So how do you check what cards are bought or sold?

[frosty dock]

yeah debuffing cards behaves a bit weirdly as it stands

prevent_debuff from calculation isn't strong enough for what you need

[copper perch]

ahhhh

What would I need then??

[native bone]

That is what I get for being lazy lol

[frosty dock]

something along the lines of SMODS.debuff_card(card, 'prevent_debuff', 'source') where source is something unique

i think doing that in add_to_deck should work fine, though you'll also want to make sure it doesn't apply after the enhancement is changed

SMODS.debuff_card(card, nil, 'source') in remove_from_deck should do for that

[copper perch]

Anything could be filled in for that the 'source' I'm assuming?

[frosty dock]

anything except nil

doesn't even need to be a string

[copper perch]

got it, so could just be a random word and it would work?

[frosty dock]

(though it would be converted to one)

[frosty dock]

yeah. best case it's related to your mod name in some way. you just don't want it overlapping with a different mod

[copper perch]

and would these need to be the same source?

[frosty dock]

yeah, that removes specifically the debuff effect set from that exact source

if you wanted to remove all such effects, there's also SMODS.debuff_card(card, 'reset')

tbf this stuff is poorly document and probably needs to be changed at some point

it's not even like one of the two systems is vanilla-imposed, they're both just added by smods

[copper perch]

So like this?

if context.add_to_deck then
            SMODS.debuff_card(card, 'prevent_debuff', 'DRY_oddity_debuffing')
        end
        if context.remove_from_deck then
            SMODS.debuff_card(card, nil, 'DRY_oddity_debuffing')
        end

They are sadly still debuffed

[slim ferry]

add_to_deck isnt a context

its a different function

[copper perch]

oh

So I'd wanna do this outside of calculate then?

[slim ferry]

yes

the docs are also pretty cool

[copper perch]

So I know I need a new function now, what would be the best thing to put at the front (like calculate has calculate = function(stuff_here)

[slim ferry]

add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)

same for remove_from_deck

[copper perch]

ahhhh, okay

still return debuffed

add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
            SMODS.debuff_card(card, 'prevent_debuff', 'DRY_oddity_debuffing')
    end,
    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
            SMODS.debuff_card(card, nil, 'DRY_oddity_debuffing')
    end,

How do you make a joker check for sold jokers?

[willow scroll]

is it possible to display variables inside a localization file without it being inserted via loc_vars or similar methods

i have a slight jank custom object type and i cant be bothered to figure out why loc_vars refuse to work rn

[lofty stratus]

my deck isnt appearing in the collection, is there anything i obviously goofed up?

[tepid crow]

how are you loading the Baller.lua file?

[stone dagger]

Hello any idea why this is crashing when calling the function? Am I overriding wrong?

local start_run = Game.start_run

function Game:start_run(args)
    start_run(args)

    G.GAME.mtgg_best_hand = nil

end

[lofty stratus]

holy shit i forgot the entire block that loads the folder

sorry for bugging ty

[tepid crow]

You forgot to pass self. If you haven't yet, I suggest reading https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/

[slim ferry]

it should be start_run(self, args)

also setting a variable to nil doesnt really do anything fyi

also this could also be done with SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals

[stone dagger]

it doesn't reset it?

[slim ferry]

its stored in G.GAME

its already tied to the run save

so it wont exist outside the run where you set it

[stone dagger]

ah that is great actually. Thanks

[copper perch]

I feel like I need some if statements or something like that instead of the flat check for debuff but I dont know what I need

[vale grove]

@daring fern a while back i asked how realistic it would be for a card to give mult based on the amount of hours someone has on a steam game

i remember you asking me if their steam profile was public and stuff and it is

[copper perch]

thats actually such a cool idea, damn

[vale grove]

so how do you convert the time they have on a game to local value

[vale grove]

haha thank you

im making this as a surprise for my friends

and one friend LOVES silksong

so i wanna represent his love for silksong inthe form of a joker

[copper perch]

awww :)

[vale grove]

i kinda put it off until now because i thought this would be horrendously difficult

[elder rune]

you just gotta think of what you really need for your idea

[vale grove]

well i know exactly what i want

its just hard to pull off considering i didnt know a single thing about balatro modding/lua until last month XD

[elder rune]

break it up then

[vale grove]

well step 1.

get his hours from steamdb

onto a local variable

[elder rune]

hiiiiiii Eris

[slim ferry]

idk if you need steamdb, i know some steam info is directly accessible in the game

also hi

[elder rune]

I dont think playtime would be saved in the game though

[slim ferry]

well yeah its not saved in the game

as in with your save file

but its definitely accessible

[stone dagger]

Hello is there any way to draw a specific card from the deck?

I created basically a copy of the smods.draw() with a different argument but that seems not amazing

function draw_specific_card(card)
    if not (G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK or G.STATE == G.STATES.SPECTRAL_PACK or G.STATE == G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED) and
        G.hand.config.card_limit <= 0 and #G.hand.cards == 0 then 
        G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER; G.STATE_COMPLETE = false 
        return true
    end

    local hand_space = 1

    local flags = SMODS.calculate_context({drawing_cards = true, amount = hand_space})
    hand_space = math.min(#G.deck.cards, flags.cards_to_draw or hand_space)
    delay(0.3)
    SMODS.drawn_cards = {}
    for i=1, hand_space do --draw cards from deckL
        if G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK or G.STATE == G.STATES.SPECTRAL_PACK then 
            draw_card(G.deck,G.hand, i*100/hand_space,'up', true,card)
        else
            draw_card(G.deck,G.hand, i*100/hand_space,'up', true,card)
        end
    end
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'before',
        delay = 0.4,
        func = function()
            if #SMODS.drawn_cards > 0 then
                SMODS.calculate_context({first_hand_drawn = not G.GAME.current_round.any_hand_drawn and G.GAME.facing_blind,
                                        hand_drawn = G.GAME.facing_blind and SMODS.drawn_cards,
                                        other_drawn = not G.GAME.facing_blind and SMODS.drawn_cards})
                SMODS.drawn_cards = {}
                if G.GAME.facing_blind then G.GAME.current_round.any_hand_drawn = true end
            end
            return true
        end
    }))
end

[vale grove]

even from a different game?

[elder rune]

if you can access the steam profile then presumably

[vale grove]

I can I have him added

[elder rune]

I mean from the code

[vale grove]

wdym?

[granite jay]

Jumpscare

[elder rune]

accessing the steam profile from some code instead

[elder rune]

card:set_eternal(true)

[vale grove]

how would you do that tho?

[elder rune]

well idk

[slim ferry]

okay i thought G.STEAM had info

but thats like

wierd other shit

so idk

not sure

[elder rune]

probably some api needs to be used

[granite jay]

Oh tysm

Had the same issue lol

[vale grove]

yeah but I doubt anyone else has done this before

to ask for help

[elder rune]

I guess you could check how vanilla does it

[vale grove]

does vanilla use steam hours for anything?

[slim ferry]

dont think so

[elder rune]

nope, but its at least a step in the right direction imo

[slim ferry]

i mean if anything you can always use SMODS.https

[elder rune]

true

[slim ferry]

because im pretty sure theres at LEAST a way to find what steam profile it is

[vale grove]

whats that?

[split acorn]

hey guys im trying to to draw a specific card from the deck. i created this method but it doesnt really seem ideal.

[elder rune]

steamdb 🗣️

[split acorn]

function draw_specific_card(card)
    if not (G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK or G.STATE == G.STATES.SPECTRAL_PACK or G.STATE == G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED) and
        G.hand.config.card_limit <= 0 and #G.hand.cards == 0 then 
        G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER; G.STATE_COMPLETE = false 
        return true
    end

    local hand_space = 1

    local flags = SMODS.calculate_context({drawing_cards = true, amount = hand_space})
    hand_space = math.min(#G.deck.cards, flags.cards_to_draw or hand_space)
    delay(0.3)
    SMODS.drawn_cards = {}
    for i=1, hand_space do --draw cards from deckL
        if G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK or G.STATE == G.STATES.SPECTRAL_PACK then 
            draw_card(G.deck,G.hand, i*100/hand_space,'up', true,card)

            end
            return true
        end
    }))
end````

thanks btw :3

[stone dagger]

xD

[slim ferry]

just use draw_card

also do NOT store things in the SMODS table

[split acorn]

why not

[slim ferry]

because that has important stuff

[split acorn]

oki doki

thanks

[slim ferry]

also the number of drawn cards doesnt need to be global

but for drawing a specific card from deck do draw_card(G.deck, G.hand, nil, "up", true, card)

you dont need to do all of that

[viscid talon]

hello modding dev i need help

[elder rune]

hi

[viscid talon]

    key = 'orange_deck',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = {
      hand_size = -3,
        discards = 3,
},
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Orange Deck',
        text = {
            [1] = '{C:attention}-3{} hand size',
            [2] = '{C:attention}+1{} hand size per Ante',
            [3] = '{C:red}+3{} discards'
        },
    },
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    no_collection = false,
    atlas = 'CustomDecks',
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and context.beat_boss then
            return G.hand:change_size(G.GAME.selected_back.effect.hand_size_value)
        end
  end,
}```

this *mostly* works but its not adding +1 hand size per ante

[elder rune]

this is just a small nitpick (wont the solve the problem) but if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and context.beat_boss then and just be if context.ante_end then

[viscid talon]

good point

will edit that rn

most of this was done in jokerforge and its weird when it comes to its code

[elder rune]

thats why it obviously doesnt work duhh

[viscid talon]

lemme try it

[slim ferry]

oh actually just do G.hand:change_size(1)

since you arent using a config value for it

[viscid talon]

oke

[slim ferry]

also remove the return

[viscid talon]

what does return do?

i always assumed return was like the "then" part to if statements

[elder rune]

return a value to whatever called the function

[slim ferry]

it passes information out of the function

and ends the function too

[viscid talon]

oh so its similar to then except it ends it after it finishes transferring the info? interesting :o

[slim ferry]

return is more of its own thing

since in lua there is never a point where you arent in a function

[unkempt bronze]

Say, would {display_size.h = h*0.7} work as I think it would? (supposed to be for a random card/joker)

[viscid talon]

ok so on the second ante it increases it by 2 instead of one

hmmm

[slim ferry]

thats

wierd

do you have any jokers that do joker retriggers by any chance

[viscid talon]

yeah, old photograph over there has a 1 in 2 retrigger chance

[slim ferry]

yeah for some reason context.retrigger_joker_check gets run for decks
