[normal crest]

and can you confirm all 89 of those consumables have the config.extra.element_no property

[unkempt bronze]

Not all of them do, only 8 do

[normal crest]

That is the issue

[unkempt bronze]

Oh.

[normal crest]

You are going through all of them and checking for it, but it's not there for at least one

[unkempt bronze]

so, I have to add that in for each one of 81 more?

[normal crest]

yes, or you can do if (element.config.extra or {}).element_no == el_sum then for now instead

[unkempt bronze]

I've been meaning to put it on the cards anyway. Just wanted to test it first, but guess I can't have that luxury just yet

[normal crest]

you can test it without putting it yet by using this

[unkempt bronze]

broke.

[normal crest]

Did you change the name of the variable back

If so replace element with the name it currently is

[unkempt bronze]

still broke

[normal crest]

You put Element instead of element I guess

[unkempt bronze]

for the key

[normal crest]

okay here we go again, what is your code again

[unkempt bronze]

IT WORKS NOW!!!!

[normal crest]

glad to hear

[unkempt bronze]

                   if (xiferp_Element.config.extra or {}).element_no == el_sum then
                       SMODS.add_card { key = xiferp_Element.key }
                  end
                end```

All that to fuse two Beryllium cards into an Oxygen card...

least it proves 4+4=8

[unkempt bronze]

If I ever make a second row on my mod's element table, you will have a seat at it

[normal crest]

i'll be an element on your mod's periodic table?

[unkempt bronze]

if you want

and if I actually add more

[unkempt bronze]

yeah, if you want

[ocean sinew]

what type of mod u making?

[unkempt bronze]

A mix of everything, but the main part currently is with element-themed consumables

[ocean sinew]

looks very cool

[unkempt bronze]

you know Aikoyori's Shenanigans?

[ocean sinew]

yeah

[unkempt bronze]

This is Jimbo Joshua's Shenanigans, otherwise known as Balatro My Way

[ocean sinew]

you do pixel art btw?

[unkempt bronze]

Eh, somewhat.

[ocean sinew]

oh cool

[unkempt bronze]

I use pixel art websites to make card designs, if that's anything

[ocean sinew]

I saw that character in your pfp and assumed you drew it

[unkempt bronze]

I did, and then did it as a joker.

[ocean sinew]

nice

do you have any tips btw

I been doing pixel art for a while

[unkempt bronze]

With what? The lettering, dithering, or what? (this is my pfp as a Joker btw)

[ocean sinew]

dam that looks very good

I usually have a hard time with stuff like drawing shoes or even caps

[cerulean rose]

is the text a reference to anything

[ocean sinew]

Idk how to get the feeling of depth in the art

[unkempt bronze]

TWOWer Books? yeah, TWOW

[unkempt bronze]

I just do circle tools and eyeball stuff until it's good

[cerulean rose]

that's a cary huang thing right?

ten words of wisdom!

[unkempt bronze]

Yep! (Also, got 791st place in EWOW, its second season)

[ocean sinew]

I see, your shading looks very good too

[frosty rampart]

"yea glorb is a reference to sneep"

[unkempt bronze]

I'd recommend finding the joker reference pallet and going from there/

[cerulean rose]

my mod has a reference to a high score run i posted on reddit

[ocean sinew]

joker reference pallet?

[unkempt bronze]

if you're aiming to make Balatro jokers, that is

[ocean sinew]

Btw If you need any help w coding or coding questions u can dm me

I have some experience with coding

[unkempt bronze]

Trust me, I'll stump you on my next one.

[bold sleet]

Hello. Help, why the fuck is the patch not working?

[primal robin]

SMODS:

[bold sleet]

?

what?

[vernal seal]

bump because i still didn't solve the problem
please some help me solve this problem

[red flower]

this is patched by smods. when trying to patch something you should check the lovely dump instead of the base game files

[red flower]

can i see sounds.lua

[vernal seal]

here

[red flower]

do you have assets/sounds/new_sound.ogg

[vernal seal]

yes but the sound is empty

[vernal seal]

i removed the sounds folder and sound lua and the load sound lua function
and it worked

[red flower]

well maybe thats the issue

[wild berry]

how can i force the shop to open

[bold sleet]

ah

[primal robin]

depends on when

[wild berry]

no like, is there a function to do it

im planning on making it a skip tag

[wicked leaf]

what's the G.GAME for the number of discards per round? its not in the wiki

[wild berry]

what discards? the ones that the player currently has?

[wicked leaf]

the number it will reset to after clearing a round

[tall wharf]

G.GAME.current_round.discards_left?

[wicked leaf]

is it discards left?

I just want to permanently increase my discards

[tall wharf]

yes

oh

[wild berry]

look at vanillaremade

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

search for drunkard

[tall wharf]

G.GAME.round_resets.discards

[wild berry]

im getting this error

when starting a blind

[slim ferry]

well you probably want to update steamodded since youre 2 releases behind

and also actually show your code

[slim ferry]

you should use card:add_sticker("perishable", true)

[wild berry]

oh

thanks

im using an outdated version of smods to keep it compatible with balatro mp too

also how can i force it to not be a certain joker

[slim ferry]

local pool = get_current_pool("Joker", "Common")
local key
for k, v in ipairs(pool) do
    if G.P_CENTERS[v].perishable_compat == false or v == "<some joker key>" then
        pool[k] = "UNAVAILABLE"
    end
end
local no_available = true
for _, v in ipairs(pool) do
    if v ~= "UNAVAILABLE" then no_available = false end
end
if no_available then
    key = "j_joker"
else
    repeat
        key = pseudorandom_element(pool, "seed")
    until key ~= "UNAVAILABLE"
end
local card = SMODS.add_card{ key = key } ...
```bit of a workaround but this should work i think

[daring fern]

Temporarily put it in G.GAME.banned_keys while creating the card.

[wild berry]

alright thanks

[lean whale]

infoqueue not loading for custom seal

[daring fern]

It's _seal not _Seal

[slim ferry]

you'll probably want to look at how morefluff does this so you dont unban cards that were previously banned already

[wild berry]

something like this?

this is the find function

[slim ferry]

it should be G.GAME.banned_keys[<object key>] = true

[wild berry]

oh

[wild berry]

now?

[slim ferry]

that should work

[lean whale]

could this hint at there being another problem

[slim ferry]

no that just means its not discovered

[lean whale]

if this is in my loc file, what should be the seal's key

[wild berry]

out of the question but wouldnt making the card negative do the same thing

[lean whale]

is that a thing

[wild berry]

yes

[lean whale]

lol

fuck me

[lean whale]

i thought it worked with jokers

[wild berry]

replace card.ability.extra.edition with "e_negative"

and _card with ur card of choice

[lean whale]

thanks man

[wild berry]

np

[lean whale]

I still do want to keep it as a seal just to understand how it works and what I'm doing wrong

still haven't managed to display the infoqueue

ok figured it out

[wild berry]

how can i poll a joker from a pool

a specific one

[daring fern]

pseudorandom_element

[wild berry]

no like

what function

to get the pool i want to use

and then poll it

[daring fern]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS.poolkey

[wild berry]

thanks

do i have to include my mod prefix tho

[daring fern]

No.

[wild berry]

this doesnt give me the jokers im trying to fetch

[daring fern]

No, set = 'food'

[wild berry]

ohty

why doesnt this work

[weary grail]

what

[wild berry]

code?

[weary grail]

local blind = NFS.load(mod_path .. "blinds/" .. v .. ".lua")()

[wild berry]

is NFS ur mod name?

[weary grail]

no

[wild berry]

what is NFS then

[weary grail]

i don't know

[wild berry]

wait nvm

i got it wrong

so

[weary grail]

this is my first mod idk how to do anything

[wild berry]

is mod_path initialized

[weary grail]

local mod_path = SMODS.current_mod.path

[wild berry]

maybe do local mod_path = "".. SMODS.current_mod.path

or local mod_path = tostring(SMODS.current_mod.path)

[daring fern]

No, it's SMODS.load_file

[weary grail]

oh

[wild berry]

yeah ur right

if you want to automate the process do this

replace items with ur directory where ur storing the lua files

except main

[weary grail]

lemme test this

still isnt working

same error

[wild berry]

show code again

[weary grail]

this is all of it

i know i did something wrong

[normal crest]

you don't need to put your mod path in SMODS.load_file

[wild berry]

why are you calling the loaded file?

[weary grail]

uh

[wild berry]

also you dont need to load every blind individually

[weary grail]

ok

[normal crest]

And calling the loaded file is correct

[wild berry]

you should just do a file that does it

[normal crest]

You just need to remove the mod path from there

[wild berry]

oh

[weary grail]

im cheeks bro this is my first program

[wild berry]

heres a way you can format it

in the file youre loading

[weary grail]

thanks

[wild berry]

np

[wild berry]

bump

[weary grail]

OH MY GOD IT DIDNT CRASH

[normal crest]

most mods use Food I'd imagine

[wild berry]

im using my own pool

[normal crest]

The code you sent looks fine then, what's the issue?

[wild berry]

because it didnt work

[normal crest]

Also your inject function here is very redundant, you can remove it and it'd do the same

[wild berry]

hold on

see?

[normal crest]

What's the entire joker code

[weary grail]

the blind isn't in the blinds list

[wild berry]

wdym

[weary grail]

in my collection

[wild berry]

ah

[weary grail]

its still 30/30 blinds

[wild berry]

you probably didnt load it properly

[weary grail]

i'd assume the blind doesn't work either

[wild berry]

show how ur mod is structured

and show the main.lua code

[weary grail]

so this is the structure

[wild berry]

you can put all your blinds in one lua file

you dont have to make a folder that contains each one

[weary grail]

really?

[wild berry]

yes

[weary grail]

i feel like each one'd be more organized

[wild berry]

look at mine for example

[wild berry]

but it would be more tedious to change each one

[normal crest]

If you're planning on making a big mod I'd recommend having each in a different file

[wild berry]

why

[normal crest]

So you don't end up with a Jokers.lua file with 20000 lines

[wild berry]

ctrl + f

[weary grail]

am i missing anything

i probably am

[wild berry]

wheres the key

[normal crest]

You can search for files too

[wild berry]

look again

[weary grail]

ah

[wild berry]

right

[weary grail]

so would the key be

cherry

[wild berry]

yes

and i noticed youre not using SMODS.Blind to initialize it

[weary grail]

i don't know how to

i've read the docs a bit

[wild berry]

wrap it inside the SMODS.Blind function

and put the table inside that

[normal crest]

Try making the condition just if (x.config.center.pools or {}).food then

[wild berry]

SMODS.Blind{put the stuff here}

[wild berry]

wouldnt it do the same thing

[wild berry]

case sensitive

[weary grail]

ok

[wild berry]

its SMODS.Blind not SMODS.blind

[normal crest]

just removing the unnecessary stuff to see if it's somehow the issue

[wild berry]

k

[weary grail]

let me test it rq

[wild berry]

and remove the local too

[weary grail]

k

it doesnt crash but nothings there

as in the blinds

[wild berry]

you can just do this
local yourblind = SMODS.Blind{
key = "cherry",
pos = {x = 0, y = 0}
dollars = 5,
mult = 2,
debuff = {["Pair"] = true}
boss_colour = HEX("8f0d0d"),
}

return yourblind

[weary grail]

oh i dont need the paratheses?

[wild berry]

didnt do anything

[wild berry]

theyre not needed

and function(local variable = {}) is highly likely to be an error

[wild berry]

like that

yeah

try now

[weary grail]

ok

still nothing

[wild berry]

maybe try not returning

and dont set a variable

just do SMODS.Blind{

and set its atlas

manually

[weary grail]

really dumb question but like

what even is an atlas

idk how anything works

[wild berry]

spritesheet

[weary grail]

ohh

[wild berry]

also its an error to set the atlas AFTER initializing an object

[weary grail]

so how do i set it

rather where

[wild berry]

copy this structure

[weary grail]

main.lua or cherry.lua

[wild berry]

cherry.lua

[weary grail]

ok

[wild berry]

but you should make it blinds.lua instead

so you dont have to create 1 file for each single blind

[normal crest]

Make sure card.ability.extra.mult isn't somehow 0, and try typing eval G.P_CENTER_POOLS.food in debugplus console and see if there's even anything in the pool and you didn't make a mistake in loading it

[wild berry]

ill see

[wild berry]

seems good

[normal crest]

the food pool is empty then

[wild berry]

how come? i did it correctly

wait

do i have to switch the pool's cards to indexes

instead of values

[weary grail]

nothing there

[normal crest]

Oh right, yeah it has to be j_prefix_key = true

Forgot about that

[wild berry]

use my method for loading the stuff then

[weary grail]

ok

[wild berry]

replace items with ur directory's name

[wild berry]

works now, ty

[wild berry]

tell me if it works

[weary grail]

?

it certainly loaded

theres an error in the cherry.lua

[normal crest]

What is the error

[wild berry]

their blind file is not loading

[wild berry]

mods, crush his balls

[normal crest]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[normal crest]

you have a syntax error

[weary grail]

yeah but why

pos = {x=0 y=0}

oh

i forgot a comma

still isnt working

[wild berry]

errors?

[normal crest]

you were missing 2 commas in that line

[weary grail]

oh

[normal crest]

after x=0 and at the end of y=0}

[weary grail]

im a dingnut

still isnt working

[normal crest]

check that you're not missing commas anywhere else

[umbral spire]

how can i randomize suit and rank of all played cards before scoring?

this kind of works, but when deselecting(?) it randomizes before hand is played?

[wild berry]

context.before

[weary grail]

IT'S THERE

[wild berry]

and because its just a context.cardarea check, its triggering whenever an event in the played cards happens

[weary grail]

it's a small blind

what

[wild berry]

atlas isnt defined

[umbral spire]

?

[wild berry]

should work now

[wild berry]

have you used SMODS.Atlas?

[normal crest]

context.other_card won't exist in context.before

[weary grail]

yeah

wait

here

[umbral spire]

"Cherry.png" is in your_mod/assets/1x/Cherry.png right?

[weary grail]

yes

and 2x

[umbral spire]

if you have debugplus maybe reload atlases (with ctrl+m)? also is it discovered by default? discovered = true?

[wild berry]

is the atlas "Cherry"?

[normal crest]

put atlas = "Cherry" in your blind

[wild berry]

yeah

if you want to add more blinds dont make an individual spritesheet for each one

and just separate them vertically

[weary grail]

IT WORKS

[wild berry]

so you dont have to make an atlas for each one

good job

[weary grail]

now i need to see if the debuff works

[wild berry]

you can force the blind if you have the cheat panel enabled

[umbral spire]

doesn't do anything?

[weary grail]

i have debug plus or whatever its called

[wild berry]

try holding tab

and see if anything appears

[weary grail]

the menu is there

[wild berry]

then its good

press esc

collection

[weary grail]

theres only boss reroll

[wild berry]

blinds

[weary grail]

do i hit spawn?

[wild berry]

and press 3 on the blind you want

[weary grail]

3

[wild berry]

yes

[wild berry]

try removing context.cardarea == G.play

and do a for loop for each card

in play

[weary grail]

it crashed

[wild berry]

show the error

[wild berry]

you need to initialize a boss thing

[weary grail]

is boss an initialization?

[wild berry]

its a table

[weary grail]

oh

[wild berry]

you must insert the minimum ante in which it will appear

[weary grail]

minimum ante?

ok

[wild berry]

yes

[weary grail]

so like

1

[umbral spire]

like this?

[wild berry]

try doing that

[weary grail]

boss = {min = 1},

[wild berry]

yeah

[weary grail]

it's not breaking but the pairs are working

[wild berry]

so thats good?

i mean

[weary grail]

it's supposed to debuff pairs

[wild berry]

hold on

[weary grail]

isnt that what debuff ={} does

debuff = {['Pair'] = true},

[wild berry]

do hands = {(insert ur hands here)}

[umbral spire]

this results in a crash @wild berry

[wild berry]

something like this
hands = {["Pair"}] = false}

[wild berry]

lemme see

[umbral spire]

i uploaded the crash txt

[wild berry]

remove the =1 near i

for loops inside tables dont need to have i already initialized

[umbral spire]

ah that fixed it

[weary grail]

still isnt working

[umbral spire]

the function doesn't [work] tho

[wild berry]

try to do test prints

[umbral spire]

me?

[wild berry]

yes

[wild berry]

wait i got it wrong shit, its supposed to be ["Pair"] = true

heres how vanillaremade it kinda does it

look at the debuff_hand

i think i got it now

do next(context.poker_hands["Pair"])

[weary grail]

ok

[wild berry]

if next(context.poker_hands["Pair"]) then

return {debuff = true}

[weary grail]

so do i get rid of the debuff

debuff = {hand = {["Pair"] = true}},

this one

[wild berry]

yes

[umbral spire]

just with print(' ')?

[wild berry]

print and then whatever symbol u want

maybe even a variable

[umbral spire]

ye the condition isnt passing

[wild berry]

try removign context.other_card

[gusty compass]

how would i happen to add custom buttons to jokers that are in a shop, like for a freeze mechanic for instance?

[weary grail]

if next(context.poker_hands["Pair"]) then
return {debuff = true}
end

[wild berry]

like this

this is the calculate function you want to use

if not blind.disabled then
if context.debuff_hand then
if next(context.poker_hands["Pair"]) then
return {debuff = true}
end
end
end

paste it

[wild berry]

code

[weary grail]

if not blind.disabled then
if context.debuff_hand then
if next(context.poker_hands["Pair"]) then
return {debuff = true}
end
end
end

[wild berry]

no li

like

the entire blind's code

[umbral spire]

image prol

[wheat rapids]

How do I make a joker always have an edition?. Something like cryptid does with some jokers

[wild berry]

you didnt put it inside a calculate function

[umbral spire]

oh my code finally works, it was the context.other_card

[wild berry]

im working on it

[daring fern]

set_ability = function(self, card) card:set_edition('e_modprefix_key') end

[wheat rapids]

Thanks y'all

[wild berry]

add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
if not card.edition then
card:set_edition(poll_edition(nil, true, true, true))
end
end,

incase you want a random edition

[umbral spire]

do this

SMODS.Blind {
  key = "cherry",
  dollars = 5,
  mult = 2,
  atlas = "Cherry",
  pos = {x=0,y=0},
  boss_colour = HEX("8f0d0d"),
  loc_txt = {
    name = "The Cherry",
    text = {
      "All pairs are debuffed"
    }
  },

  debuff = {
    hand = { ['Pair'] = true}
  }

there is no need for calc function

[wild berry]

oh

[umbral spire]

when there's a built-in hand debuff

[daring fern]

No, set_ability = function(self, card) card:set_edition(poll_edition(nil, nil, nil, true)) end

[wild berry]

whats even set ability??

[weary grail]

they still score

[umbral spire]

with this ? @weary grail

[weary grail]

yes

[umbral spire]

hm

or is it 'Pairs'?

try that

[vague crag]

Pairs sounds about right

[weary grail]

worth a shot

[wheat rapids]

Ohh thanks, I would like Negative edition tho

[weary grail]

nope

[wild berry]

replace the 3rd argument with a false then

[weary grail]

still broken

[vague crag]

Tell me what I'm doing wrong, I've been pulling my hair out trying to apply an enhancement

[umbral spire]

wat is this for?

[wild berry]

scored_card:set_ability(insert enhancement here, nil, true)

the enhancement must start be formatted like this

m_(mod prefix)_(key)

[vague crag]

Ah thanks

[umbral spire]

also do 'modprefix_popper'

[red flower]

not scored_card but context.other_card

[umbral spire]

and for confetti

[wild berry]

hi john vanillaremade

[red flower]

hi

[slim ferry]

runs whenever the card spawns

[wild berry]

ohhhh

[weary grail]

how do i set this yp

up

unless i just did

i think i did

[vague crag]

Oops! The game crashed:
[SMODS 2_Year_Mod "BirthdayJoker.lua"]:171: attempt to index global 'scored_card' (a nil value)

It's been returning this whenever I play a hand

For context, I'm trying to make a joker that applies this enhancement to the played hand

[umbral spire]

can i see your code @weary grail

[red flower]

because of what i said

[elder rune]

How do you make a temproary consumable effect

[umbral spire]

why is debuff not at the same column as loc_txt or something, idk if that'll do anything tho

[red flower]

what does that mean

[vague crag]

It doesn't matter, it always crashes on hand played

I tried both

[weary grail]

wdym

[elder rune]

like e.g something that increases discards by 1 for one round

[red flower]

Then send the crash with the code I suggested

[red flower]

well for discards specifically you can just do ease_discards and it will work for one round

[umbral spire]

press space twice on line 14,15 & 16, also do you get a crash ? or does it just do nothing?

[elder rune]

im looking for hand size

[weary grail]

just does nothing

[red flower]

for hand size you would need to use something like the global mod calculate to reset it at the end of the round

[weary grail]

it still doesnt work

[vague crag]

Oops! The game crashed:
[SMODS 2_Year_Mod "BirthdayJoker.lua"]:171: attempt to index field 'other_card' (a nil value)

@red flower

[red flower]

can i see the full code

[umbral spire]

idk dude

[weary grail]

😔

[red flower]

before the event do local scored_card = context.other_card then use scored_card in the event

[elder rune]

??

[azure laurel]

im having trouble with this joker, i want to debuff the lojer to his right, but here just debuff itself, what i do ?

[wild berry]

you specified card as the one to be debuffed

debuff is a boolean

[vague crag]

YES it works

[wild berry]

source is a string

[vague crag]

Thank you so much

That was a nightmare for my pea brain

[wild berry]

if you want it to work correctly, do SMODS.debuff_card(other_joker, true, "SomethingSomething")

[red flower]

yes?

[wild berry]

remember to debuff it later by just replacing this function with a false

[elder rune]

what you talkin abt

[red flower]

balatro modding

[elder rune]

same

[azure laurel]

what is a string?

[wild berry]

🤦

text

something like this

"text"

or 'text'

[azure laurel]

oh

[red flower]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(computer_science)

[azure laurel]

oh, im dumb af

[umbral spire]

to give mult ( specifically for a edition ) you just do return { mult = some_value } right?

[lucid owl]

is there not temp_handsize in the base game or am i hallucinating

[wheat rapids]

Why isn't my joker working?
I think that the problem is the context but I'm not sure
calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then return { play_sound('fm1_cool', 1, 1), message = 'Cool!', colour = G.C.GREEN, } end end

[daring fern]

No, there is.

[wheat rapids]

There is that one skip tag that does that

I don't remember the name

[lucid owl]

here's code from my consumable that gives +2 temp hand size
G.hand:change_size(card.ability.extra.h_size) G.GAME.round_resets.temp_handsize = (G.GAME.round_resets.temp_handsize or 0) + card.ability.extra.h_size
where card.ability.extra.h_size is whatever variable you want to increment it by until the end of the round

[elder rune]

thx

[gusty compass]

bump

[elder rune]

I tried it and for some reason it doesnt increase, but it decreases

[lucid owl]

is your value negative

[elder rune]

its positive

but when it should increase it doesnt, and when it resets back it then decreases by the amount I set

[wild berry]

??

[umbral spire]

how do you make a credits section for your mod

[slim ferry]

SMODS.current_mod.extra_tabs is a function thatll return the ui elements of extra mod page tabs

so learn ui and then make a funny credits page

[lucid owl]

when is this hand size being awarded

also, try and put it in an event

[elder rune]

I'll try that later not on computer rn

[vague crag]

What's the event to modify the starting deck (in making a new deck)

[slim ferry]

wdym "the event"

you have to create an event

because otherwise it happens before the default deck is set

[vague crag]

I know but how do I actually change the cards

Is it the same as modifying them midgame

[slim ferry]

yes

just loop over G.deck.cards and use whatever functions you normally use for modifying cards

[vague crag]

Ok cool

[wild berry]

hello? game crashes on startup from this

[wicked leaf]

im trying to make a tooltip that shows the credits of a joker

the problem is I have no fuckin clue how to make the tooltip ACTUALLY appear

[wicked leaf]

I dont think you can do local card = smods.add_card

I think thats giving you the error

[wild berry]

oh

but it worked before

nvm fixed it

[vague crag]

I am the big stupid I don't know how to loop G.deck.cards

[slim ferry]

do you know how to loop any other cardarea

because its the same

[umbral spire]

how do you change this icon in the mods tab

[slim ferry]

create an atlas with the key modicon

[vague crag]

It's a for loop right? I've just never done it before

[slim ferry]

yeah

for i, card in ipairs(G.deck.cards) do

either variable can be replaced with an underscore if you dont use them

[wild berry]

how can i freeze the game for a certain amount of time

[slim ferry]

like completely freeze or just stop the player from making actions?

[wild berry]

freeze the game

[slim ferry]

time.sleep

[umbral spire]

whats the px,py?

[wild berry]

k thanks

[slim ferry]

32x32, same as a tag

[wild berry]

vs tells me it doesnt exist

should i just keep it as is or?

[slim ferry]

oh nvm i thought that was thing

uhhh fuck

[wild berry]

ill try love.timer.sleep

[daring fern]

You need to use loc_vars to put in the variables for the credits, also you would use info_queue

[vague crag]

So I have 'for i, card in ipairs(G.deck.cards) do'
but it keeps telling me "Bad argument #1 to ipairs (expected table, got string)

[slim ferry]

what does the code look like

[slim ferry]

you should probably put the entire loop inside of the event

is what im guessing

[vague crag]

Idk why it's a txt file but now it does this

There shouldn't be anything wrong, all I did was put the for loop in the event

[slim ferry]

uh

show code again

[slim ferry]

yeah because

it has to be in the actual function part of the event

[vague crag]

Ah I'm dumb

It's giving me bad argument #1 for ipairs agian

[stone dagger]

try to use just pairs instead

[slim ferry]

that wont change anything

pairs is identical to ipairs besides that its unordered and loops over non-integer indexes

[vague crag]

I don't know what to do about this supposed bad argument

[slim ferry]

i mean i have this deck which does the exact same loop with different code so like

idk the issue

[umbral spire]

how can i debuff (for a blind) multiple ranks, suits or poker hands?

[unkempt bronze]

And I have another issue: I have two psuedorandom_element calls, and when I had one it worked but both break the game

[slim ferry]

use calculate instead of the automatic functionality (context.debuff_card for cards, context.debuff_hand for hands iirc)

[umbral spire]

i dont get it?

[wild berry]

why does this error appear

[slim ferry]

what part do you not get

[umbral spire]

like how to actually write it out, as in, what exactly i do

[slim ferry]

well calculate for blinds functions the same as calculate for jokers

[faint yacht]

modprefix_key

[slim ferry]

and you return debuff=true to debuff

[wild berry]

ohty

[umbral spire]

am i s'posed to loop through every card and debuff (or not)?

[wild berry]

now i get this

[slim ferry]

no, context.debuff_card already does every card

you should check the pillar in vanillaremade since i think that uses a calculate

and for hand debuffing check the eye or the mouth since they also use a calculate

[umbral spire]

??

[slim ferry]

yes

[slim ferry]

.

context.debuff_card is also the actual card being checked to debuff

[umbral spire]

oh

[slim ferry]

so you can do whatever checks you want on context.debuff_card

[umbral spire]

so how can i check the rank of it per se?

@slim ferry

[slim ferry]

:get_id()

like checking a rank with anything else

[vague crag]

I'm worried something got screwed up

[umbral spire]

?

[vague crag]

I don't think it matters what I put in there, it'll just return a bad argument

[slim ferry]

yeah

[unkempt bronze]

SMODS.add_card({ pseudorandom_element({ 'c_xiferp_lanthanum', 'c_xiferp_cerium', 'c_xiferp_praseodymium', 'c_xiferp_neodymium', 'c_xiferp_promethium', 'c_xiferp_samarium', 'c_xiferp_europium', 'c_xiferp_gadolinium', 'c_xiferp_terbium', 'c_xiferp_dysprosium', 'c_xiferp_holmium', 'c_xiferp_erbium', 'c_xiferp_thulium', 'c_xiferp_ytterbium', 'c_xiferp_lutetium' }, 'Lanthanide_pull' )} )
Why isn't this working?

[umbral spire]

how can i make it to where if you play X or Y rank the hand isnt allowed, not debuffed

[umbral spire]

crash?

[unkempt bronze]

this

[stone dagger]

I think you need to do key = pseudorandom....

[umbral spire]

☝️ @unkempt bronze

[slim ferry]

if context.debuff_hand then
    for _, c in ipairs(context.full_hand) do --i think this is the right context?
        if c:get_id() == X or c:get_id() == Y then
            return { debuff = true}
        end
    end
end

[umbral spire]

oh thanks

[unkempt bronze]

I changed it for a similarly coded card, and a different crash

[vague crag]

Both pairs and ipairs return a "bad argument"

I have a different mod that doesn't even calls pairs and it still crashes

[slim ferry]

then i imagine its an issue elsewhere

when is it actually crashing

[vague crag]

Right at the end of loading, after injection

[stone dagger]

can you send the code?

[slim ferry]

then its probably not with the deck yeah

since that would only crash if you start a run with the deck

[vague crag]

I have no idea where to look to fix that

[unkempt bronze]

Think I found the issue, forgot c_ in front of consumables...

Works now

[stone dagger]

nice

Im gonna pop a question of my own

why doesn't this work?

if context.after and card.ability.extra.used then

            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.2,
                func = function()
                    SMODS.destroy_cards(card,true)
                    return true
                end
            }))

            return {
                x_chips = card.ability.extra.xchips
            }

        end

it's a calculate inside a consumable

[daring fern]

What is the full code?

[wild berry]

is it possible to emplace cards used after scoring back into G.playing_cards

[stone dagger]

SMODS.Consumable {
    key = "nylahs_intervention",
    set = "spells",
    loc_txt = {

            "scored card this round"
        }
    },

    pos = {x = 9 , y = 0},

        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.current_xchips, card.ability.extra.xchips_increase } }
    end,

        card.ability.extra.used = true

        juice_card_until(card, eval, true)

    end,

        return false
    end
}

sorry for the wall

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[wild berry]

after scoring, cards used in the played hand can be drawn again

[daring fern]

It's current_xchips not xchips

[stone dagger]

bruh xD

thanks for catching that :)

[daring fern]

You mean cards in played hand are drawn to deck instead of discard?

[wild berry]

yeah

[daring fern]

Hook G.FUNCS.draw_from_play_to_discard

[wild berry]

kty

[fluid steppe]

what context would i use for detecting when a joker is destroyed

[daring fern]

if context.joker_type_destroyed and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker'

[vague crag]

Does anything look wrong with this? It's crashing on line 1719

[daring fern]

Which line is that?

[vague crag]

The last 'end' at the bottom there

After everything else

Both of my mods crash due to ipairs, I'm trying to see why

[daring fern]

Is this in the lovely dump?

[umbral spire]

does :is_face() exist?

[vague crag]

I give up

I'll try again later

[daring fern]

Yes.

[umbral spire]

returns a bool right?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[umbral spire]

im tryna make it where you can only play face cards, why isn't this working?

[umbral spire]

^

[zealous glen]

I don’t know but with functions that return booleans you don’t need to compare those booleans to constants

true and true == true are the same thing

[umbral spire]

oh right

[zealous glen]

not true and true == false are the same thing

[umbral spire]

so?

[zealous glen]

It should be syntactically equivalent yes

[native bone]

I am trying to make a Joker that randomizes the suit and rank of played cards, this is the current script to find all ranks and suits.

[umbral spire]

you might need to modify this because its for a blind but i have sm similar:

SMODS.Blind {
    name = "endermen",
    key = "endermen",
    atlas = "blindatlas", 
    discovered = true,
    pos = { y = 2 },   
    dollars = 5,
    mult = 2,
    boss = { min = 3 },
    boss_colour = HEX("e079fa"), 

    calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if not blind.disabled then
            if context.setting_blind then
                play_sound('bc_endermen3', 1, 0.5)
            end
            if context.before then
                for i, c in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
                    local _card = G.play.cards[i]

                    local rank = pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Ranks, pseudoseed('endermen_ranks')).key -- get a random rank
                    local suit = pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Suits, pseudoseed('endermen_suits')).key -- get a random suit

                    SMODS.change_base(_card, suit, rank)

                    play_sound('bc_endermen', 1, 0.5)
                end
            end
        end
    end,
    defeat = function(self)
        if not G.GAME.blind.disabled then
            play_sound('bc_endermen2', 1, 0.5) return true
        end
    end,
    disable = function(self)
        play_sound('bc_endermen2', 1, 0.5) return true
    end
}

[native bone]

Yoinkety sploinkety

[umbral spire]

ehow can i make it where the hand isnt allowed if you play anything else then a face card or ace

[daring fern]

if context.debuff_hand then
    for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
        if not v:is_face() and v:get_id() ~= 14 then
            return {debuff = true}
        end
    end
end

[median rose]

I'm watching this tutorial on how to create a joker. I got to this point , and have this code, when I run the game, I don't see the joker in my collection. Is this video outdated? Did I mess something up? My smods version is 1.0.0-beta-0711a

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'Jokers', --atlas key
    path = 'Jokers.png', --atlas' path in (yourMod)/assets/1x or (yourMod)/assets/2x
    px = 71, --width of one card
    py = 95 -- height of one card
}

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'joker2',
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Joker: The Sequel",
        text = {
            'When Blind is selected,',
            'create a {C:attention}Joker{}',
            '{X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult'
        }
    }
}

[daring fern]

Yes, it is outdated.

Is the mod loading?

[median rose]

no

I downloaded this zip, changed the folder to be the name of my mod, and changed the code inside main.lua to what I have above.

I'll try using this template instead

[slim ferry]

that is also very outdated

just use vanillaremade as a reference for things if you need it https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/VanillaRemade.lua

and also this page on the smods wiki https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod

[median rose]

But that's where I got the templates from. Where it says "Steamodded has some Example Mods."

[slim ferry]

just ignore those because basically all of the example mods are very outdated

all the other resources should be fine though

[median rose]

is there a way to allow beta versions of smod?

[slim ferry]

yeah

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/a670b00a4276d5f7982f5980453726e3cc7c8e28/VanillaRemade.json#L12 look at how vanillaremade does it

[unkempt bronze]

Any tricks to buff the last played card of a hand?

[slim ferry]

the last scoring card is context.scoring_hand[#context.scoring_hand]

same can be done for context.full_hand

or any cardarea

[unkempt bronze]

Thank you (i had a similar bit, but with a 5 hard-coded(

Hang on, that also makes my Letter Seal a lot more dynamic

[timid zinc]

does any of this code destroy a card? i can't figure out why it's destroying itself

[slim ferry]

my best guess is the card.children.center.pinch.x = true

since thats also what the food destruction animation uses

[daring fern]

No, but it would make the card invisible and unselectable.

What in this is closing the game upon mousing over?

[daring fern]

You need a context check for the SMODS.pseudorandom_probability

[timid zinc]

Oh

[unkempt bronze]

fixed it I think, testing now

[unkempt bronze]

works

[plucky berry]

how do you make selectable cards inside boosters? like not to use immediately but to keep them in the slots when selected

[native bone]

Like the pull function from Cryptid's Code Packs?

[plucky berry]

yeah

[native bone]

Then I would start snooping around in the code for Code Packs

You might find something

[plucky berry]

i looked and didn't find anything that resembles that

i also looked in pokermon cause it has a voucher that does that

[native bone]

Oh yeah

Is it an added game event, perhaps? Under G.E.MANAGER?

[lofty stratus]

ive lost all knowledge in the sea of poor documentation, what do i use to set 3 free rerolls per shop in a deck

[plucky berry]

SMODS.change_free_rerolls(3) i think????

[slim ferry]

yeah

that

[daring fern]

select = 'consumeables'

[vernal seal]

Quick question:
what's wrong with for i = 1, math.min(3, G.consumeables.config.card_limit - #G.consumeables.cards) do?

[daring fern]

Put everything inside the event.

[vernal seal]

it didn't spawn 3 cards tho

[daring fern]

Move the return true outside of the for loop.

Also 2-0 is less than 3

[plucky berry]

is it possible to do it only for one specific card in the pool?

[vernal seal]

yes but it's also suppose to ignore slots

[daring fern]

Then change math.min(3, G.consumeables.config.card_limit - #G.consumeables.cards) to 3

Also replace random_set with 'Consumeables'

[vernal seal]

what?

[vernal seal]

why are the consumables in the joker slots

[slim ferry]

default area for that set is G.jokers for some reason

add area = G.consumeables to the add_card

[plucky berry]

also where do i need to put this??

[native bone]

This Joker crashes whenever the shop ends. It gives no crashlog, and I am very confused as to what the crash log is trying to say. What am I concatenating? I dont know.

For some reason, the message I pasted has the crashlog, but I dont see it on the crash menu. Odd

[daring fern]

It's key not set also it needs to be a string.

[native bone]

Oh yeah, lol

[honest bridge]

Hiya! anyone know why this isn't working?

[daring fern]

hook doesn't exist.

[honest bridge]

oh yeah you're right lol

[honest bridge]

how do i fix it then?

[daring fern]

Move the hook outside of the joker.

[crystal perch]

is there any way to cause an effect to draw a card but only while the hand is actually out

(i.e. in blinds and some boosters)

[honest bridge]

Wait it's not already?

[slim ferry]

well it doesnt appear to be

also why the self.ability.name check

[honest bridge]

idk just in case

[slim ferry]

wdym just in case

thats not even stored in self for jokers plus name doesnt exist for jokers unless you specifically define a name field

[native bone]

This does not detect when Cryptid's Pizza Slice is sold. I dont really know why. Although it does work correctly otherwise

[crystal perch]

i can only assume that they're replicating how balatro is coded, because the game defines all the joker abilities in a huge name = list

[crystal perch]

if context.card

[slim ferry]

context.card.config.center.key == "j_cry_pizzaslice"

card is the joker itself

[native bone]

Thanks.

[crystal perch]

[red flower]

whats the problem, drawing or detecting a hand? and when exactly do you want to draw?

[crystal perch]

detecting, and i just want to draw when you sell the joker so no big there

[red flower]

you can probably just do if next(G.hand.cards) then

[crystal perch]

i'll test that out

[bold sleet]

help, what the fuck is going with my lovely patch?

wtf is cfg, why _c is being replaced, how do I prevent it from doing just that?

[red flower]

some other patch might be changing it after

try changing the priority

[bold sleet]

Do I lower it even more?

[red flower]

no the opposite

[bold sleet]

ok

[red flower]

that's lower than smods

[bold sleet]

Up it goes.

hmmm

Your SMODS is nine months old.

[weary grail]

why is my debuff not working?

[heady maple]

oupsie! I update it but still crash
EDIT: nvm it works Thank you !

[crystal perch]

this works but the playing card is drawn face down and if you draw multiple they overlay on top of each other
code:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.selling_self and card.area == G.jokers and next(G.hand.cards) then
            for i = 1, card.ability.extra.draw do
                local drawn_card = G.playing_cards[1]
                G.hand:emplace(drawn_card)
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        drawn_card:flip()
                        return true
                    end
                }))
            end
        end
    end

it's drawn face down even without drawn_card:flip() btw

[red flower]

use SMODS.draw_cards

here the problem is that 1. you're not using any of the draw functions that handle this, 2. you're not drawing from the deck, you're drawing from the full list of cards which is going to sometimes duplicate cards in hand

[crystal perch]

i wasn't aware of that func i see, i based this off of how dna adds a card to deck then immediately draws it

[red flower]

lmao

dna says that in the description but doesn't actually do that

[crystal perch]

🤷‍♀️

[red flower]

@zealous glen you're vindicated

[crystal perch]

i also noticed this because if you pair it with my joker that makes you draw in order, you get a random card

see how the 2 of clubs is erroneously drawn

[weary grail]

please can anyone help

[crystal perch]

shouldn't it be poker_hand or poker_hands?

at least try

[weary grail]

alright

doesnt work

[crystal perch]

why not instead do

  calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if not blind.disabled then
            if context.debuff_hand then
                blind.triggered = false
                if context.scoring_name == 'Pair' then
                    blind.triggered = true
                    return {
                      debuff = true
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end

[mystic river]

if i want to make an enhancement that makes the card monochrome, how would i do that
i don't know what a draw step is or how it works okay

[zealous glen]

[elder rune]

Okay I guess that for some reason my Balatro just doesn't have anywhere where it actually increased the hand size so I just hooked new_round() and it works for now ig

[lucid owl]

your balatro very much should have that because it's built into the base game

[elder rune]

Balatro at 3 am 😧

[wheat rapids]

How could I modify the values of a joker through another joker?
Something like the Oil lamp from Cryptid. I tried looking at the code but didn't understand how to do it

[elder rune]

holdon lemme find smth

[wheat rapids]

Alright

[elder rune]

https://github.com/Somethingcom515/SealsOnJokers/blob/main/main.lua#L3593-L3617

ik its a bunch but focus most on the modify_value function

[wheat rapids]

Okay I'll try to do it
Thanks

[weary grail]

omg it works!! ty!!!

🙏

[vernal seal]

Question:
How can i make it gives for Best Hand Stat?

[hallow slate]

How do you get whether you're selling a card or destroying it, or removing it? Trying to have it do smth only if you destroy it -- not if you sell/remove it

[vague crag]

Is there a list of what you can do in stake modifiers

[red flower]

you can do pretty much anything but if you're asking about the specific modifiers used by vanilla here they are
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/stakes.lua

[red flower]

what type of card

[vague crag]

thx

[obtuse silo]

is there a variable that checks the number of hands played on a given round

i want to be a merciful soul and not force my player to sit through triple baka again

[red flower]

have you checked DNA

[obtuse silo]

i should go do that
it's been a while ngl-

just
had a sudden hankering to mod, you know

[hallow slate]

Jokers

[rocky plaza]

how would i prevent the player from making any form of input for a short period of time?

[vernal seal]

@red flower may you help?

[vague crag]

Can stake modifiers affect stuff when a hand is played

Like, when I play a hand, x happens

[red flower]

context.joker_type_destroyed

[red flower]

please dont tag me unless it's relevant to me or we were in a conversation

[vernal seal]

Alright am sorry

[red flower]

yes, they have calculate since recently

[vague crag]

That's amazing to know thanks

[obtuse silo]

mmm
now i'm wondering if it's possible to "undebuff" cards

nvm
found a method

hold on
they literally just debuff themselves again
how do i keep them debuffed

[vague crag]

What am I doing wrong here?

[red flower]

calculate doesn't go inside modifiers, and it's missing the arguments (self, context)

[obtuse silo]

cuz like
in The Goad
spades will immediately debuff themselves after i've undebuffed them

[red flower]

and it's context.cardarea

[vague crag]

Why are underscores inconsistent

[red flower]

CardArea is a type of object

[vague crag]

Hm...

[wheat rapids]

How do I fix my code?
It should duplicate the values on the joker to the right but it just crashes cuz of "extra"

[obtuse silo]

ok found a way to retain the "undebuffable" status
i just don't know how to apply it to the card itself because it's not reliant on another joker

[vague crag]

Is there anything wrong with THIS?

[chrome widget]

experimentation with UI shaders

[vague crag]

This just straight up doesn't work, it doesn't even play the sound

[mystic river]

put a flag on the card and have SMODS.current_mod.set_debuff() detect that flag and return "prevent_debuff"

[red flower]

just remove the modifiers function, it doesn't go in there either lol
also there's no card in a stake

[urban wasp]

why doesn't this take_ownership attempt work?

SMODS.Edition:take_ownership("negative", {
  shader = false
})

[rocky plaza]

i think it has to be "e_negative"?

[obsidian spear]

tried that

didnt work

[urban wasp]

i don't believe so since it's already using SMODS.Edition

[rocky plaza]

ah

i forgot

[urban wasp]

and SMODS.Joker:take_ownership("invisible,..." works for invisible joker without a j_

[rocky plaza]

that detail of take_ownership

hmmmm

[urban wasp]

yea

[rocky plaza]

that is odd

[obsidian spear]

note that if i put this in an update hook nothing happens

[harsh belfry]

this version of pairs wouldn't obliterate a false i think so it isn't skipping over it in that sense

[chrome widget]

yeah I checked that too

It's not that it's skipping it as a falsy value

hold on let me check smth

[obsidian spear]

we have 6 people tryna fix the same problem bro

[harsh belfry]

modify key wouldn't be going off on accident because of the guard...

[chrome widget]

The reason why is, probably, because negative has a separate clause for this:

if (edition and edition.negative) or (self.ability.name == 'Antimatter' and (self.config.center.discovered or self.bypass_discovery_center)) then
    self.children.center:draw_shader('negative_shine', nil,     self.ARGS.send_to_shader)
end

[harsh belfry]

the shine doesn't draw the negative though

i know this because i've used that shader

[chrome widget]

So it's always drawing this regardless of the value, even though it might skip the base one

[urban wasp]

negative_shine isn't the same as negative in terms of the shader file

[harsh belfry]

to be lazy

[obsidian spear]

have we tried lovely patching

trol

[harsh belfry]

we could actually

target the shader = 'negative' line and kill it

[urban wasp]

"have you ever heard of a lovely patch? Maybe you could just lovely patch it out"

[chrome widget]

otherwise it's possible it's somehow interfering with SMODS already taking ownership of it

[urban wasp]

oh fair actually

[obsidian spear]

but it takes ownership after

[chrome widget]

a more bootleg version of this would be to declare SMODS.Shader on the vanilla negative shader key and point the path at the dissolve shader instead

[harsh belfry]

yeah atp actually lovely patch it

ong

[obsidian spear]

🙏

[chrome widget]

But yeah do you have anything in your debug log about it failing to register the take ownership?

[obsidian spear]

lemme check

time between load and other info

i dont see nothing

[harsh belfry]

the order is this for loading the smods stuff

loader is after game object where the take ownership happens

weird

[obsidian spear]

odd...

istg if we need to ask another person for help

[harsh belfry]

even here its done in the right order

wtf

[rigid pebble]

have you ever heard of a lovely patch? Maybe you could just lovely patch it out

[red flower]

what's the goal? remove the negative shader?

[obsidian spear]

yea

[red flower]

they're hardcoded as far as i know like winter showed

there's one that applies the base negative as opposed to negative_shine

[obsidian spear]

so lovely patching?

[rigid pebble]

have you ever heard of a lovely patch? Maybe you could just lovely patch it out

[red flower]

you could take ownership of the drawstep but patching is probably easier

[rigid pebble]

WHAT

[chrome widget]

oh yeah sorry I was right earlier, just looking at the wrong thing

[rigid pebble]

i was right

[obsidian spear]

omg all this time george was right

[chrome widget]

Because Negative is broken up into two sections, the base negative is hardcoded in 'front'

SMODS.DrawStep {
    key = 'front',
    order = 0,
    func = function(self, layer)
        --Draw the main part of the card
        if (self.edition and self.edition.negative and (not self.delay_edition or self.delay_edition.negative)) or (self.ability.name == 'Antimatter' and (self.config.center.discovered or self.bypass_discovery_center)) then
            if self.children.front and (self.ability.delayed or not self:should_hide_front()) then
                self.children.front:draw_shader('negative', nil, self.ARGS.send_to_shader)
            end
        elseif not self:should_draw_base_shader() then
            -- Don't render base dissolve shader.
        elseif not self.greyed then
            if self.children.front and (self.ability.delayed or not self:should_hide_front()) then
                self.children.front:draw_shader('dissolve')
            end
        end

        local center = self.config.center
        if center.set == 'Default' or center.set == 'Enhanced' and not center.replace_base_card then
            if not center.no_suit then
                local suit = SMODS.Suits[self.base.suit] or {}
                if suit.draw and type(suit.draw) == 'function' then
                    suit:draw(self, layer)
                end
            end
            if not center.no_rank then
                local rank = SMODS.Ranks[self.base.value] or {}
                if rank.draw and type(rank.draw) == 'function' then
                    rank:draw(self, layer)
                end
            end
        end
    end,
    conditions = { vortex = false, facing = 'front', front_hidden = false },
}

[harsh belfry]

so just
kill the drawstep

[red flower]

killing the draw step would stop all the other parts

[rigid pebble]

this is why you listen to me all the time

[harsh belfry]

yeah i figured after looking at it for a second

[rigid pebble]

i may not know how to code but i know that maybe you could just lovely patch it out

[harsh belfry]

that first if statement needs to be killed however

if false goes hard 🔥

[frosty rampart]

streamer why aren't you taking the lovely patch it synergizes with the run

[vale zinc]

Is there any way to pack two variables into a single localize{} statement?

localize = {
    k_lapsems_list_recursive = '#1#, #2#'
    k_lapsems_list_and = '#1# and #2#'
}

LAPSEMS.recursive_list_maker = function(list_to_use, end_of_list)
    if #list_to_use == 1 then
        return list_to_use[1]
    end
    
    if #list_to_use == 2 then
        return {
            localize {
                type = 'variable',
                key = 'k_lapsems_list_' .. end_of_list,
                vars = {
                    list_to_use[1],
                    list_to_use[2]
                }
            }
        }
    else
        local removed_element = table.remove(list_to_use, 1)
        return {
            localize {
                type = 'variable',
                key = 'k_lapsems_list_recursive',
                vars = {
                    removed_element,
                    LAPSEMS.recursive_list_maker(list_to_use, end_of_list)
                }
            }
        }
    end
end

eval LAPSEMS.recursive_list_maker({'milk', 'eggs', 'fabric softener'}, 'and')
--[[
Expected output:
milk, eggs and fabric softener

Actual output:
Table:
1: ERRROR
--]]

[jade scarab]

is this how loading a folder is usually done

[red flower]

yes, the way that you're doing it should work
check if your localization file is organized correctly

[vale zinc]

How would it be organized incorrectly?

[azure laurel]

I want to know something. In my mod there is new suits and a friend tell me that I should add the spectrum poker hand from Bunco and paperback, but idk if is free to use (code and sprites) or I should ask some kind of permission or smth
Someone could tell me?

[red flower]

they have to be in v_dictionary

[red flower]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1393744274784391229

[azure laurel]

Thx

[frosty rampart]

in all cases of your function, you're returning a table that contains the localize call

so you've got a bunch of nested tables now

[vale zinc]

It only ever correctly processes the first element.

[frosty rampart]

.

[red flower]

what's the idea btw

can't you localize ,, or and and separately

[vale zinc]

Desired output:

eval LAPSEMS.recursive_list_maker({'milk', 'eggs', 'fabric softener'}, 'and')
-- milk, eggs and fabric softener

[vale zinc]

I probably can. But I've been learning about recursion in school and wanted to give myself a challenge.

[red flower]

i feel like this is too complicated for simple concatenation

[jade scarab]

hi i'm wondering about this

[red flower]

yes

[jade scarab]

ic

also is it fine for me to look through some mods' source code to get a standard on how localization and stuff is done

[red flower]

yeah everyone does

i give you explicit permission to look at vanillaremade, jokerdisplay or joyousspring

[vale zinc]

How do I un-nest them?

[frosty rampart]

remove the outermost set of {} in the return statement
i.e. instead of return { localize... } it should just be return localize...

[vale zinc]

That did the trick.

[obsidian spear]

how would one go about making custom blind types, such as a "new boss blind"

[wind steppe]

no oxford comma...

[jade scarab]

check the blind section in smods' repo wiki

[vale zinc]

Oh, well.

[queen meadow]

do i js like put a false on the if statement? this is how i'm currently doing this 😬

[harsh belfry]

this works

[queen meadow]

uhh no

[harsh belfry]

oml

[harsh belfry]

wait why are you patching like that
target = '=[SMODS _ "src/card_draw.lua"]'

[queen meadow]

should it be like that?

[harsh belfry]

yeah

[queen meadow]

🙏

[harsh belfry]

target = '=[SMODS _ "src/card_draw.lua"]' i mean

[queen meadow]

the negative patch didn't work AND the ace is gone 😭

we ain't getting this

[red flower]

that one is for playing card fronts
