[harsh belfry]

you may have deleted too much

[red flower]

if you turn a playing card negative it should not have the shader now but you also removed the non-editioned sprite

that's the incorrect drawstep anyway

this is the one you want
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/989098dcbfe866d3f855a0e12a49bdc69834e762/src/card_draw.lua#L152

but you don't want to remove the entire condition

[rigid pebble]

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

[true jasper]

thats literally what they are doing 💔🥀

[rigid pebble]

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

kel is crashing out in vc lol

(in coldbean server)

[queen meadow]

💔🥀

[fluid steppe]

why is SMODS.scale_card not on the SMODS wiki

now i have to recode all my scaling jokers to use SMODS.scale_card just so they work with cryptid's scalae

:(

can someone that knows how it works pull request smods to add a wiki entry for SMODS.scale_card in. idk, utility functions

im going to bed i havent slept for >36 hours

[red flower]

many of the new features are not on the wiki yet but they're on the release notes
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/discussions/919

mostly because no one can be bothered to update the wiki :3

[red flower]

is the patch patching
check lovely/dump/smods

also you can just put the couple of lines you want to edit instead of the entire thing that's bad practice

[queen meadow]

i think it is?

[red flower]

you might need to remove the center and the front? idk

[rigid pebble]

idk from n'
supreme cookery

[red flower]

nah that's just something i say

[timid zinc]

what atlas do vanilla decks use?

[daring fern]

centers

[timid zinc]

so:

        key = { 
            mod = false
        },
        atlas = false,
    },
    atlas = 'centers',```

[red flower]

if you omit the atlas in SMODS.Back it will just use the default

[timid zinc]

yeah but i'm trying to use the backs atlas for a different object type

[red flower]

that should work then yeah

[timid zinc]

i removed atlas = false

thank you

[vernal seal]

ok i maneged to fix it by myself

[obsidian spear]

does anyone have an answer for this

it sounds hard but would create a great mod

[daring fern]

You mean like having a fourth blind in the blind select?

[obsidian spear]

yea

[stoic void]

I dont think i can code :P

[primal robin]

[stoic void]

HEY! >:(

i know i suk :(

I think i got it right this time

[next timber]

I've seen that jokers have an ID assigned to them, is this ID always unique? can i use it to tell between jokers without any danger of a conflict?

[daring fern]

Yes, but you should use card.sort_id

[next timber]

what's the difference?

[daring fern]

card.ID is not saved.

[next timber]

ah ok

[plucky berry]

how do you replace the main joker on the win/lose screens

[rigid solar]

If I run find_joker() in the remove_from_deck() part of a joker, can it find itself? Like I have a Joker named X and i run find_joker("X") in its remove_from_deck() function while it's the only one I had, does it find 0 or 1 joker? I'd test but rn I can't

[daring fern]

No, use SMODS.find_card

[rigid solar]

Nah on the contrary I want it to not find itself, so that's great aha

thx

[stoic void]

I don get it :(

[daring fern]

No, they both don't.

But you should be using SMODS.find_card

[rigid solar]

🤔 why

what's the diff

[daring fern]

It checks for the key instead of the name.

[daring fern]

What is not working?

[stoic void]

It crashes when i hover over it

[daring fern]

Log?

[stoic void]

Ill go find it

here

[wheat rapids]

Guys how do I make a joker spawn in my Joker slots?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#jokers-or-consumables

[solid salmon]

how do i update my steammodded

nevermind found it

[maiden phoenix]

More wip

[tiny sparrow]

Guys, I'm new here and building mods, so, I need help with the custom rarities bc they're not working well and I don't know what the error is

[umbral spire]

you do not need "loc_txt" in SMODS.Rarity

it should look like

SMODS.Rarity {
    key = "Pipe",
    default_weight = 0.25, -- chance
    badge_colour = HEX('838383'), -- color of the badge
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type) -- keep this as is
        return weight
    end,
}

also can I see your joker code?

[tiny sparrow]

Sure

[umbral spire]

do you get a crash?

[umbral spire]

also, try removing or 'Mamaste mi ', from line 161 (the last bit)

[tiny sparrow]

No, just that the rarity doesn't shows in game

But it works

[tiny sparrow]

Okay

[umbral spire]

Fm1 is your mod prefix?

[tiny sparrow]

Yes

[umbral spire]

this is probably not necessary

[umbral spire]

also did you do this? ^ @tiny sparrow

[tiny sparrow]

No, i'm going to add it later cuz i'm busy rn

[umbral spire]

Well that should fix it.

[tiny sparrow]

Okay, when I add it I'm gonna tell if it works

Thanks

[umbral spire]

Alr.

[long sun]

what would be the best way for a Joker to cap the score to 1 point below the score requirements?

failing that, i could patch the game to not progress until my Joker wants it to

(actually maybe i'll do that instead)

(nevermind)

[faint yacht]

...doesn't AikoShen have a deck that does not end the round automatically, but gives you an "End" button for it instead?

[long sun]

i'm pretty sure, ya

[final jewel]

if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'giga_snapchatGirl', card.ability.extra.odds, card.ability.extra.chances, 'scg_prob') then
Why does it alway triggers on the first time of the run

[faint yacht]

...probably seed says so.

[long sun]

i can't find that ^^;

[final jewel]

yeah but is putting the date_time make it more random

[faint yacht]

@tall wharf 🫲

[final jewel]

if #G.jokers.cards > 1 then
    G.jokers:shuffle('ok')
    delay(0.5)
end

And why does that just put the Joker in alphabetical order

[long sun]

have you tried wrapping pseudoseed() around your seed?

[final jewel]

no what is that is it a seed generator

[long sun]

i see it a lot in random calls, so i assume u need it

[final jewel]

do I just write pseudoseed() and it does its thing

[long sun]

you need to wrap that around your seed

[final jewel]

ok like

[long sun]

so pseudoseed('ok')

[final jewel]

oh ok

nice I'll do that

[tepid crow]

wdym "collar" those are obviously his arms and legs

[daring fern]

Yes, it's part of a different mod called NotJustYet

[long sun]

ah i see

[daring fern]

No, it does that automatically.

[long sun]

oh ic

[tall wharf]

?

[faint yacht]

#💻・modding-dev message Up there.

[tall wharf]

no?

[maiden phoenix]

My bad I'll rename it immediately 🫡

[tepid crow]

thank you 😌

[median rose]

I'm looking through vanilla remake to see how chances work, and I noticed the string vremade_bloodstone within bloodstone. What's its purpose, Do I need to worry about that all for what I want my joker to do? My joker description "1 in 900 chance for +300 mult"
this is bloodstone code

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'vremade_bloodstone')
        return { vars = { numerator, denominator, card.ability.extra.Xmult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") and
            SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'vremade_bloodstone', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
            }
        end
    end,

This is my code

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, G.GAME.probabilities.normal, card.ability.extra.odds)
        return { vars = { numerator, denominator, card.ability.extra.mult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "", )
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end

[tepid crow]

You're misreading the code btw (which tbf is arguably badly formatted)

it's

        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") and  -- notice the AND here
            SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'vremade_bloodstone', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then    -- and the THEN here

not

        if context.joker_main then
            SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "", )

[maiden phoenix]

Also 'vremade_bloodstone' is just a seed for the proba check, it wont crash if you type something else

[tepid crow]

I'm trying to find the docs for smods' pseudorandom stuff but can't 🙄

[gilded goblet]

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

[maiden phoenix]

Check the release logs

Yea that

[tepid crow]

there ya go ^

[gilded goblet]

btw, u don't need G.GAME.probabilities.normal when using SMODS.get_probability_vars, you can just use 1

[tepid crow]

oh yeah don't do that

[median rose]

don't do that, or I don't need to do that?

[tepid crow]

don't use G.GAME.probabilities.normal, use the smods probability functions

[dapper sun]

i'm having a bug regarding jokers with additional data/behaviour outside of calculate not being changed when the card's ability changes

should i put that data somewhere else (instead at the root of the joker) or should i patch in handling for it?

like,, putting it in config

[gilded goblet]

the following is what it should look like, SMODS.pseudorandom_probability() is used in the if check, as larswijn mentioned

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.joker_main and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "seed", 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then -- you can change 'seed' to anything u want
    return {
      mult = card.ability.extra.mult
    }
  end
end

[dapper sun]

nvmd i think i see a different thing

[gilded goblet]

the reason u dont need G.GAME.probabilities.normal is because the smods function already handles that

[final jewel]

why does my mod look like that

[bold sleet]

SMODS metadata file

[final jewel]

cause in my computer it looks fine

[bold sleet]

why tf is GIGA not being GIGA in my puter?

[dapper sun]

fixed it

[dapper sun]

it was a bug i encountered mid-run and i then lost on the same blind i encountered it on

😭

[willow scroll]

im checking out scoring parameters, copying the juice example as stated, but then running SMODS.set_scoring_calculation('[modprefix]_juice') causes this crash, anyone know why?

[dapper sun]

show code

[willow scroll]

its the example juice code from the 827c announcement

[dapper sun]

okay but can i see it in your code

idk the example code

[willow scroll]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/discussions/919
bottom of this announcement

its too long to copy paste into a single message

ah i may be smart

[dapper sun]

oh idk anything about this sorry

[willow scroll]

goddamnit

"you can copy this code"
replace_ui proceeds to have a couple of hardcoded modprefixes

foiled again by not inspecting the code closely

does the scoring calculation type reset after every round?

[median rose]

is there an easier way to test the trigger effects besides making the numerator bigger for debug testing? This is 1 in 900

[daring fern]

Yes, Oops! All 6s

[median rose]

facepalm

[gilded goblet]

btw u can just hover over a card and press ctrl c to duplicate it

it ignores limits

[gilded goblet]

i cant remember if its ctrl c or tab + c

[median rose]

thank u for this info

[gilded goblet]

ctrl + r to delete them so you dont have to sell them (takes time)

[umbral spire]

how can i load every .ogg in /sounds/ ?
instead of 50 SMODS.Sound{} usages

[tepid crow]

you could probably just iterate over the filenames

[umbral spire]

ah

[tepid crow]

similar to how some mods automatically load all lua files in a specific directory

[slim ferry]

i love NFS.getdirectorydata ❤️

[rocky plaza]

i love NFS.getDirectoryItems so much i made a recursive file loading function using it

[daring fern]

SMODS.Sound:register_global()

[faint yacht]

...all I do with NFS is have it load and play an audio file in the crash handler.

[topaz berry]

Hi, is there a function to check the current blind requirement, I only see the one that shows the scaling which may not factor bosses that change the requirement

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.blind.chips

[willow scroll]

SMODS.Scoring_Parameter({
  key = 'juice',
  default_value = 0,
  colour = mix_colours(G.C.PURPLE, G.C.YELLOW, 0.5),
  calculation_keys = {'bribe'},
})

SMODS.Back{
    key = "bribe",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    config = {
    },
    atlas = 'CustomDecks',
    apply = function(self)

    end,
    calculate = function(self, back, context)
        if context.final_scoring_step then
            return {
                bribe = G.GAME.dollars
            }
        end
    end,
}

whats the proper way to do this? I want the scoring parameter to mirror G.GAME.dollars, but i failed so far with modify and or calc_effect

its part of a deck specific scoring calculation but id rather the functionality be fully inside the scoring parameter/scoring calculation stuff

lol i can hijack money gain by defining one of the calculation keys as dollars

[atomic edge]

does anyone know which function determines played hand?

[daring fern]

G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info

[slim ferry]

in calculate you can also use context.scoring_name in most contexts that are apart of the main scoring loop

[atomic edge]

thanks

is there a function for adding money?

[slim ferry]

ease_dollars

[loud summit]

thats called fraud ease_dollars

[atomic edge]

ease_dollars(amount) ?

[slim ferry]

yes

[atomic edge]

thanks

[slim ferry]

in calculate you can also return dollars = amount

[loud summit]

is that amount added or set

[slim ferry]

added

=$ isnt real

[round lion]

will smods detect contexts made via lovely patches

[slim ferry]

wdym by detect

if you calculate the context itll calculate it

[loud summit]

tenner

[slim ferry]

dollars = -G.GAME.dollars + 10

wait no

[loud summit]

lol

oh yea how do you do negative mult

[slim ferry]

you can just return a negative amount i think

[loud summit]

you cant

ive tried

[slim ferry]

then probably patch SMODS.calculate_individual_effect so it lets you do that

[umbral spire]

how can i make showdowns appear last in the collection

[shell timber]

just register them last?

[loud summit]

or set the order variable really high

[elder rune]

Don't they already do that

[umbral spire]

no?

[topaz berry]

how would I get the current total round score while in a blind

[umbral spire]

how can i debuff cards with X seal?

[dapper sun]

G.GAME.chips

that's your score

and G.GAME.blind.chips is the blind requirement

[umbral spire]

also how do i detect if a card has any seal?

[daring fern]

if card:get_seal()

[bleak shore]

hi i was wondering if there is a way to transform a joker into an other joker ?

[fluid steppe]

this isnt a :3 this isnt silly this is laziness that makes me want to ping john smods to fix that shit

if youre pr'ing a feature, add a wiki page for it

simple

[red flower]

why don't you do it then

[fluid steppe]

god damn it why do you have to go and give me good ideas

aaa

[red flower]

that's literally the point of open source

[fluid steppe]

..i'll do it later i feel like shit right now

sinuses clogged and got way too much sleep last night

might be sick

[normal crest]

i agree with this, i wouldn't say it's simple to do so but it would be ideal, who better to document the feature added than the one who added it

[red flower]

it would be ideal but I don't like insulting the people who make the PRs when the features are literally documented

[round lion]

when to use self over card

[red flower]

self == card.config.center

(in the SMODS objects)

[round lion]

so if i declare a variable from self it effectively becomes immutable?

[red flower]

well, it's not immutable but it's best practice to not change the center so practically it is

[umbral spire]

how can i make it where (for a blind btw) per played hand, it removes a random tag.

and how can I check if you have 'X' joker

[fluid steppe]

how would i use SMODS.scale_card on something similar to cloud 9

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-if-the-player-has-a-certain-card

[fluid steppe]

do i just. reset every time context.before comes up and loop SMODS.scale_card for every instance of a certain card that fits the parameters defined?

[red flower]

i wouldn't consider that scaling

cloud 9 doesnt use scale_card afaik

[fluid steppe]

i guess

what about fortune teller

that's def scaling but it uses a persistent value

i guess just. when that value changes?

and on pickup

[daring fern]

card:set_ability('j_modprefix_key')

[red flower]

i think smods didn't consider that scaling either because it just checks for a variable, it doesn't add more value to the card itself

[bleak shore]

thank you

[red flower]

if you want to use scale_card i would do it like you said

[fluid steppe]

is there a way to do this temporarily?

or i guess

[red flower]

not really, you have to transform it back manually

[fluid steppe]

just have it blueprint-copy a joker that doesn't exist in the joker slots

damn

[red flower]

mods do this by making fake jokers

[fluid steppe]

how would i spoof a joker

[red flower]

somethingcom knows about that

or you can check ortalab too

pinkprint specifically

[daring fern]

#⚙・modding-general message

[fluid steppe]

ive had this for a while but i could never get it working

commented out ofc

[daring fern]

Yes, I have a joker that does exactly that but without limits, but I haven't updated it to use the new fake joker code yet.

[fluid steppe]

hey what' sthe context for "when the joker initially spawns

[fluid steppe]

mind if i steal your code

[red flower]

you don't use a context, you use the add_to_deck function

if you want it as soon as the card is created then set_ability

[daring fern]

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.game_over then
    SMODS.calculate_effect({message = localize('k_reset')}, card)
    local jokers = {}
    for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker) do
        if v.key ~= self.key then
            table.insert(jokers, v.key)
        end
    end
    card.ability.extra.currentjoker = pseudorandom_element(jokers, pseudoseed("seed"))
end
-- Insert the other code I sent here

[next timber]

is there a way to make a specific consumable type always act as if you have showman? preferably without patching

[daring fern]

Hook SMODS.showman

[red flower]

like the consumables can all appear more than once?

[next timber]

yeah, really the wanted behaviour is specifically that they can still appear if you have one already but i dont mind multiple showing up in the same pack

[red flower]

you can hook SMODS.showman but I think it's easier to just give them all the same in_pool function with true, {allow_duplicates = true}

[next timber]

oh yeah that does sound easier

[dense fulcrum]

does anyone here know how to restart songs ingame

[fluid steppe]

what the fuck is that pfp

stop starin at me with them big ol eyes.....

[dense fulcrum]

clippy!ralsei

[fluid steppe]

of course

[dense fulcrum]

your pfp is fluffy :3

[fluid steppe]

ty :3

[dense fulcrum]

anyway im here for this and someone in a smaller dev server whos meant to have the answer is most likely sleeping rn

[atomic edge]

what functions creates a random consumeable from a given consumable key

[red flower]

wdym
if you have the key it wouldn't be random, no?

[atomic edge]

maybe i said it wrong

[dense fulcrum]

pool key?

[atomic edge]

i meant for example only a random tarot

or planet

yyes pool key sry

[fluid steppe]

N' are you dead and haunting this channel or smth you're always here

[dense fulcrum]

N' is super goated

i was very nearly finished typing a message thatd promote this repo while saying that youre in this channel a lot because youre goated

[red flower]

im trying to be less in here because i kinda lost patience recently lol but thank you

[dense fulcrum]

fair

[daring fern]

G.ARGS.push.type = 'restart_music'
G.SOUND_MANAGER.channel:push(G.ARGS.push)

[dense fulcrum]

tysm!

theres something oddly satisfying about spamming that in debugplus lol

[fluid steppe]

man

why inst there a soul_atlas

[red flower]

i agree there should be

[obtuse silo]

do i put the logic for the undebuffing in a calculate function or would this need to be a hook or something

[frosty rampart]

SMODS.current_mod.set_debuff is just a function that you can define in your mod that SMODS calls frequently to determine debuff behavior

e.g. here's how paperback makes the Sleeved enhancement unable to be debuffed

[mystic river]

what meta said, yes

[obtuse silo]

ok ok
now
i want this flag to return to false when the round ends
any way i can go about setting that up?

[frosty rampart]

you should set a flag on the card when you want it to not be debuffed, and then re-set it to false when the round ends. then just check for the flag in the set_debuff function

[median rose]

I am looking to put all my descriptions within a localization file in case I want to add additional languages later.
I originally had this all to together in one file, which worked fine. But I broke it up in the following files:

-- `localization/en-us.lua`
return {
    descriptions = {
        Joker = {
            j_TechnicallyMathematicallyBalancedJokers_1 = {
                name = "Technically Mathematically Balanced Joker 1",
                text = {
                    "{C:green}#1# in #2#{} chance for {C:mult}+#3#{} mult",
                },
            }
        }
    }
}

-- `jokers.lua` 
SMODS.Atlas({
    key = "TechnicallyMathematicallyBalancedJokers",
    path = "Jokers.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95
})

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "j_TechnicallyMathematicallyBalancedJokers_1",
    atlas = "TechnicallyMathematicallyBalancedJokers",
    unlocked = true,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    rarity = 1,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    cost = 2,
    config = { extra = { odds = 900, mult = 3600 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, "TechnicallyMathematicallyBalancedJokers_1")
        return { vars = { numerator, denominator, card.ability.extra.mult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "TechnicallyMathematicallyBalancedJokers_1", 1,  card.ability.extra.odds) then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end
}

--  `main.lua`
assert(SMODS.load_file("src/jokers.lua"))()

But now the text is gone. Did I miss a step? I'm following the vallina remade repo

[slim ferry]

the key in the localization file is incorrect

its missing the class and mod prefixes

[faint yacht]

In the SMODS.Joker, key should be just 1 for the localization if TechnicallyMathematicallyBalancedJokers is prefix?

[obtuse silo]

ok
where would i put the flag reset then
in the use function?
in the set_debuff function?
do i have to create a calculate function?

[frosty rampart]

sorry i'm not super caught up on what exactly you're trying to make here

[obtuse silo]

oh
i want to make a consumable that on use, removes debuffs from the cards for the blind.
when the blind ends, they should be able to be debuffed if the criteria matches again

[frosty rampart]

yea set the flag in the consumable's use function, and then i'd probably reset the flag in the global mod calculate

[obtuse silo]

so i'd make SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(card, area, context)?

[frosty rampart]

just function(self, context) (because it's not calculating on any one specific card)

[atomic edge]

i made a custom booster pack and when i open it it says error on the bottom, what variable do i need to add to make that say something else?

[frosty rampart]

documentation is cool
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Booster

[atomic edge]

i did that but it doesnt work

did i do it wrong?

[slim ferry]

im pretty sure the group_name thing just straight up doesnt work

joker forge has also had issues with it for the longest time

because it uses loc_txt as well

[obtuse silo]

ok just found out that during the end of round context the played cards are not in the deck
how do i get a read of all the cards if they're in the deck, hand or discarded

[slim ferry]

G.playing_cards

[frosty rampart]

it might need to be group_key

[slim ferry]

group_key is outside of loc_txt though

and is for localization files

unless the docs are just wrong

[frosty rampart]

i mean yea my point is the docs might be wrong
because why would it be group_name in the loc txt but group_key in a localization file

[slim ferry]

probably because group_key is a key thats used to get the localization entry

[wheat rapids]

How do I know that the player is using their first hand?
So the joker destroy if you are not playing the first hand

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0

[wheat rapids]

Wouldn't that make the joker destroy on the last hand?

[slim ferry]

no

well you would check G.GAME.current_round.hands_played > 0 for not the first hand ig

[wheat rapids]

Oh wait mb I didn't read well

Thanks you 🙌

[next timber]

maybe a stupid question but is there a convenient way of giving a consumable a custom function? i would like my perk consumables to have a :level_up() function that i can easily just call however many times to increase the perk level, but if i need to patch/hook in a function or deal with saves i cba lol

[slim ferry]

you can just put anything into an object definition and itll go in the object's table

[next timber]

and itll save properly? cool

[slim ferry]

so if you just define a level_up function on the object itll be in card.config.center.level_up for the card object

[frosty rampart]

if you want the whole consumable type to have the function, i recommend defining a custom type that extends smods.consumabletype

[next timber]

huh? so would i be able to do card:level_up() on a specific instance or would i have to do like card.config.center.level_up(card)

[frosty rampart]

you should be able to do card:level_up(), yes

[slim ferry]

what

i dont think every arbitrary function gets put onto the card object as a method

[next timber]

ok now im confused

[slim ferry]

especially since self always refers to the prototype object for existing stuff

[next timber]

if i want each consumable of a type to have a level_up function that i can define in the consumable definition what do i need to do for that

[slim ferry]

nothing really

[frosty rampart]

the simplest way to do that would be to just add a level_up function in each consumable's definition

[slim ferry]

just add it to the consumable definition

yeah

if its not going to be similar between every consumable then theres no point in extending to automate stuff but otherwise should be fine

[next timber]

ok cool

i mean theyll all have the same arguments probably but thats about it

[frosty rampart]

oh wait my bad i was myself a bit confused
what i was talking about was extending smods.consumable itself, not smods.consumabletype
anyway yes ignore me you probably don't need to extend anything

[slim ferry]

but it will be card.config.center:level_up(...) assuming you make it level_up = function(self, ...)

[tiny sparrow]

Guys, did you know how I elevate instead of multiply?

Cuz I need someone to teach me

[next timber]

so, i would have to pass the card into the function in order to access its values without changing every instance of the card then

i can live with that i think

[red flower]

^

x ^ y

[tiny sparrow]

Yeah

[red flower]

that's how

[tiny sparrow]

Only that?

[red flower]

yes

[tiny sparrow]

I feel stupid, thank you

[unkempt bronze]

Any ways to easily reference every card that wasn't played?

[red flower]

i don't remember what the variable is called but there's one in each playing card that counts times played iirc

[atomic edge]

is there a way to alter booster pack apper rates for consumeables?

[next timber]

if you mean during scoring i think you can just do G.hand.cards

[unkempt bronze]

I meant in just one hand, the cards that weren't played for one hand. Is it just G.hand?

[red flower]

oh
yes

[red flower]

wdym

[atomic edge]

i made custom consumeables and booster packs for them

and i want to make some rarer than others

do i use the soul way or is there another?

[red flower]

i think consumable types can have rarities but im not sure how

[slim ferry]

well you can make consumables that work like the soul but i dont think individual object weights is a thing yet]

individual object weights within a set that is

[red flower]

you can also make the booster poll on each create_card

[slim ferry]

oh right doesnt SMODS.Rarity have a thing where you can customize what sets it gets added to

maybe something like that could work

[red flower]

yeah but i only see people asking about it and never someone saying how to do it lol

[atomic edge]

would this work?

on every consumable

[slim ferry]

no because itll just not spawn anything if none of the weights roll

because thats how soul type cards work

[atomic edge]

but if i have 12 cards that are say common, and 5 which are rare

can i just put it on those 5?

[native bone]

I remember that to detect a Joker's key, it should be card.config.center.key, did I misremember? I dont entirely trust myself lol

Also, how do I detect if a Joker is in a custom pool, for example, Crpytid's Food Joker pool?

[unkempt bronze]

                    SMODS.destroy_cards(card)
                 end
             end```
I don't think this destroys all cards held

[daring fern]

SMODS.destroy_cards(G.hand.cards)

[slim ferry]

card.config.center.pools and card.config.center.pools.Food

should work

[native bone]

Think I have something wrong...

Still not destroying the held cards post-hand

Wait, think I figured it...

nope

[native bone]

This is supposed to give me 3 Negative Space Babies when it is created, and then whenever the Space Baby is scored, it gives me x2 Chips and x2 Mult, but for some reason, it doesnt do either. Unless I am misusing context.other_joker.

[elder rune]

The card is looking at its own key and not other_joker

[native bone]

What do you mean, does the calculate function only trigger when the Joker is being scored?

[elder rune]

card.config.center.key

it's looking at its own key and not context.other_joker which I assume you want it to

[native bone]

Yes, so should it be other_card.blablabla?

[elder rune]

Should be

Yeah

Why isn't this destroying any cards?

[native bone]

Also, I accidentally wrapped my add_to_deck inside of my calculate function lol

[fluid steppe]

actually idea

what if i just. make the sticker handle it, and the joker just spawn a Joker with the sticker

[native bone]

Unfortunately, it crashed. Apparently I cannot use other_card

[fluid steppe]

that's what G.hypr.ijhjokers is

isn't it?

...and???? that just means it's in the table G.hypr instead of G

[atomic edge]

if i do this and then set the rarity of the consumeable to the key the game crashes

can someone help?

i saw a lot of talk about this in this channel and did everything the same but it just doesnt work

[fluid steppe]

i should look at how Vandalism from bunco does it

the sprite thing i mean

[daring fern]

You didn't use the other code I sent.

[fluid steppe]

that's what ijhcalc is, right?

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[fluid steppe]

ah

[median rose]

Can you elaborate on what it should be in this context? I'm looking over what vanilla has, and I'm not sure what you're referring to

[slim ferry]

the class prefix j and the mod prefix which is in your metadata file

look at the vanillaremade localization files

[plucky berry]

guys any help with custom rarities showing up as common?

[red flower]

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

[plucky berry]

    key = "fresh",
    loc_text = { name = "Fresh" },
    pools = { ["Joker"] = true },
    badge_colour = HEX("12A0D7"),
    default_weight = 0.5
}```

and i'm putting `rarity = "napoli_fresh",` in the joker

[red flower]

are you saying they are too common or that the jokers are marked as Common

[plucky berry]

they are marked as common

[red flower]

can i see one of the jokers

[plucky berry]

like full code or pic

[red flower]

pic is better because im on my phone

[red flower]

hmm did you save lol

[plucky berry]

yeah

[red flower]

i dont see how that would show up as common, at worst it should crash

[plucky berry]

it's like i didn't save but i triple checked

like, the joker should also show up later in the collection after this change

cause it's loaded after commons

[red flower]

yeah that's probably the problem, check if closing and opening the file again shows the changes

[atomic edge]

send the part of the code where you define the rarity

[plucky berry]

it does

[red flower]

hmm

[native bone]

This bit of code keeps crashing whenever I trigger it. I dont know how I can find the attributes of the other joker that I am trying to score. In this case, I want it to match the key.

[plucky berry]

it's a separate lua file

with only that code

and i'm loading it

[atomic edge]

yea screenshot it

[red flower]

context.other_joker.config.center.key

[plucky berry]

but the joker shouldn't show up at all if it didn't load no?

[red flower]

try asserting the load_file call

[atomic edge]

no i mean screenshot the part of the code where you defined the rarity "napoli_fresh"

[red flower]

assert(SMODS.load_file(...))()

[plucky berry]

@atomic edge

[median rose]

Still facing same problem with keys and class changd. Here's the new files. I also reset the profile in case that was the issue.

-- `localization/en-us.lua`
return {
    descriptions = {
        Joker = {
            j_TechnicallyMathematicallyBalancedJokers_1 = {
                name = "Technically Mathematically Balanced Joker 1",
                text = {
                    "{C:green}#1# in #2#{} chance for {C:mult}+#3#{} mult",
                },
            }
        }
    }
}

-- `jokers.lua` 

-- atlas is the same

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "1",
-- other stuff stuff is the same as before
}

[atomic edge]

oh didnt see im sorry

[plucky berry]

same result

[red flower]

that should work, are you sure the mod prefix is that?

[plucky berry]

that's a long mod name

[median rose]

oh see where the prefix is set. Sorry, I got it confused with the id

Works now

[true jasper]

how would i make a random tag

[red flower]

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

[true jasper]

thanks n

[sharp arch]

hey guy how would I get a blind's color

[daring fern]

G.GAME.blind.config.blind.boss_colour

[sharp arch]

holy shit that actually exists? thanks man

[atomic edge]

can someone help?

[next timber]

how do i make the hand fill up with more cards after i increase the hand size?

[red flower]

it should do it automatically

you can use SMODS.draw_cards if for some reason it's not

[sharp arch]

oh and blind defeat is G.GAME.blind.defeated or is there something else

[red flower]

where do you need to check

[sharp arch]

in jokers

[red flower]

context.end_of_round then

[sharp arch]

ok

so now my code looks like this did i do it right ```if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.config.blind.boss_colour == HEX(FFFFFF) then

end```

[slim ferry]

well the colour check will always be false because of how tables work

[sharp arch]

oh

[slim ferry]

table equality checks if the two variables point to the same table

not if they are tables with the same values

also why do you need to check colour anyway

[sharp arch]

a funny idea

[slim ferry]

i mean even then the colours would rarely match exactly

[sharp arch]

but it would be funny

[fluid steppe]

hay do i get/set a card's loc_vars

[daring fern]

card:generate_UIBox_ability_table(true)

[vale zinc]

Can any of you tell me why the first line crashes the game?

--[[
attempt to index global 'blind' (a nil value)
--]]

if context.before and (context.scoring_name == card.ability.extra.poker_hand) and not blind.disabled then
    return {
        message = localize('ph_boss_disabled'),
        func = function() -- This is for timing purposes, it runs after the message
            G.GAME.blind:disable()
        end
    }
end

[fluid steppe]

@sharp arch cryptid has a helper function for checking if two colors are equal

local function eq_col(x, y)
    for i = 1, 4 do
        if x[i] ~= y[i] then
            return false
        end
    end
    return true
end

[fluid steppe]

the value blind doesnt exist

[vale zinc]

How do I make sure that the Blind hasn't already been disabled, then? Or that it can be disabled?

[fluid steppe]

uhhh idk

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.blind.disabled

should work

[vale zinc]

Found it. It was in Luchador's code.
G.GAME.blind and ((not G.GAME.blind.disabled) and (G.GAME.blind.boss))

[fluid steppe]

that's get i need set

[slim ferry]

how would you set them, theyre the result of a function thats gets re-run every time you hover over the card

[daring fern]

Hook Card:generate_UIBox_ability_table

[slim ferry]

oh that works yeah

[fluid steppe]

hm.

that's annoying

[daring fern]

SMODS.inspectFunction doesn't exist.

[fluid steppe]

ah

it's just inspectFunction

.that failed too

[daring fern]

You would put Card.generate_UIBox_ability_table

[fluid steppe]

yall know if theres a built in particle system or do i just have to program that myself

[brave onyx]

Does anyone know how to create a joker that multiplies money?

[fluid steppe]

you could look at using love2d itself

i think it has particles

[sharp arch]

so i can just use the love2d commands

or do those not intrinsically work with lovely

[slim ferry]

just return dollars = G.GAME.dollars * (<multiplier> - 1)

[elder rune]

Eris beat me to it

[slim ferry]

Same can be done with ease_dollars if you want

            if context.other_card.base.suit == 'kloun_coinsuit' then
                local random_value = math.random()
                local trigger_chance = 1 / card.ability.extra.odds
                
                if random_value <= trigger_chance then
                    return {
                        dollars = G.GAME.dollars * (card.ability.extra.mult - 1)
                    }

    end
}

[slim ferry]

Yeah

[slim ferry]

I cant read bcs mobile

Is it a crash

[brave onyx]

yup

my hot potato mod is kinda not working

[carmine hearth]

i m so sorry i didn't knew there was a chat for this mod

[slim ferry]

Its fine

[next timber]

anyways update ur galdur

tahts the issue

[carmine hearth]

who is galdur ?

[native bone]

So it doesnt crash, but it also doesnt trigger, so I have no idea what is going on. I'm going to try triggering from the Space Babies themselves and see what happens

[true jasper]

using smods.add card how would i make it allow to spawn hidden consumables

[red flower]

soulable = true? or do you want them to spawn as if they were normal consumables?

[true jasper]

i have a joker that spawns consumables and i want it to be able to spawn soul/blackhole when it spawns spectrals

[red flower]

I don't think that's possible with just add_card, you would probably need to use get_current_pool and pick a random card from there first and then add it

[fluid steppe]

how the hell does smods get the loc_vars for vanilla jokers

they don't use loc_vars

actually this probably isnt a smods thing its a vanilla thing

oh my god vanilla loc_vars is set in a function that goes through all the jokers fucking hell

[frosty rampart]

if you're trying to change it for a vanilla joker, just take ownership of the joker and you can set new loc_vars that way

you won't have to patch into the function

[fluid steppe]

no

im uh

i'm trying to get a specified joker's loc_vars

[frosty rampart]

what for exactly

[fluid steppe]

does it matter

[frosty rampart]

i feel like there might be a better way to achieve what you're trying to do

[fluid steppe]

..yeah actually

i could just hook the function and extract the loc_vars

[vale zinc]

For coding a Boss Blind: when context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play, how do I get the current scored card?

[red flower]

context.other_card

[vale zinc]

So, would context.other_card:get_id() work?

[clear ocean]

JEEHFUL?

[fluid steppe]

i'm trying to make a sticker swap its localization and loc_vars with the joker it's on

[clear ocean]

what do you think is a good theme for a joker that scales xmult based off a poker hand similar to to do list, i was thinking crystal ball or something space themed

was thinking like this

• Name: ???
• Theme: Space-themed?
• Effect: Gain XMult (maybe .2 or .25?) when playing a chosen poker hand, changes either at end of round or playing said poker hand
• Rarity: Uncommon or Rare
• Unlock: Win a run by only playing one kind of poker hand

[vale zinc]

What distinguishes SMODS.Blind({}) from SMODS.Blind{}?

[clear ocean]

i don't think anything its more a preference

im asuming i can do somthing where i do a for loop and if the number of "unique" poker hands goes above one it doesnt unlock

[red flower]

nothing

you can pass a single table or string to a function without ()

[clear ocean]

not sure how to reword the last part it feels weird but not sure what the right word would be

maybe "poker hand changes after playing it?"

[vale zinc]

poker hand changes when Mult is upgraded```

[clear ocean]

thanks that sounds more natural and in line with the vanilla jokers

[vale zinc]

That's what I go for with my own Jokers.

[vale zinc]

Looks good to me.

[fluid steppe]

*when played poker hand

[clear ocean]

oh thats great lmao 😭

that should work

im suprised it all worked first try actually

[clear ocean]

i mean...

[fossil ore]

how do i make it not say error? I'm guessing group_name for boosters go somewhere else in the localization file

[clear ocean]

that took a while to get right

[fluid steppe]

i mean "when played poker hand is a #1#"

[clear ocean]

after playtesting it not sure if it is balanced i mean obelisk gains .2 xmult but its more so that you can play any hand just not your most played hand but for plantarium you have to dig for a specific hand. not sure if i should make it uncommon or increase the gain or leave it as is

[glass scaffold]

Is there a way to restrict certain consumables from appearing with a deck?

[vale zinc]

How 'bout only giving a X0.1 Mult increase?

[plucky berry]

what i would do is set up a flag to be true only with your custom deck and then in your consumable (or take ownership if it's vanilla) use in_pool to return false when the flag is true

[woeful basin]

Is there somewhere I can find how to organize and handle the unlock_condition method for achievements? I want to have my achievement unlock when the player plays a hand of 3 of a specific rank and no other cards.

[plucky berry]

how do you replace music when a joker is held?

[daring fern]

Use select_music_track

[plucky berry]

select_music_track("napoli_panzarott") this doesnt work

how do i do it

select_music_track = "napoli_panzarott" ??

[daring fern]

select_music_track = function() return next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key')) and 100 or nil end

[plucky berry]

but how do i tell which track to play

[daring fern]

No, you put it in the SMODS.Sound

[plucky berry]

ah okay

[daring fern]

You need to put music in the key.

[plucky berry]

of the sound?

ok it works

it's super slowed tho

[daring fern]

pitch = 1

[fluid steppe]

how would i get if a certain stake is unlocked on any deck

[elder rune]

how do you check from which mod a joker comes from

[daring fern]

card.config.center.original_mod

[elder rune]

does it give the mod name then

[daring fern]

No, it gives the mod.

[elder rune]

hwat

[next timber]

im trying to make a consumable that removes debuffs from all your cards, but if used during a debuffing boss the cards immediately get debuffed again. is there a way to stop this?

[daring fern]

Yes, use SMODS.debuff_card instead.

[next timber]

awesome thx

SMODS.debuff_card(card,"reset") doesn't work, am i missing something?

[daring fern]

No, it's prevent_debuff

[next timber]

oh ok

thx

[fluid steppe]

calculate = function(self, card, context)

        if context.joker_main or context.forcetrigger then return {mult = card.ability.extra.mult} end
    end,

i know context.joker_type_destroyed exists but it's not. working

[red flower]

what are you testing it with

selling wont trigger it

[fluid steppe]

hm

what i'm trying to do is
"Resets when a Joker is destroyed neither by self-destructing, nor while debuffed by Perishable"

[red flower]

yeah joker_type_destroyed should work for other types of destruction

[fluid steppe]

so why is the breakpoint i set never being reached

[red flower]

well if you answered my question it would be good

[fluid steppe]

selling a joker and letting a food joker expire

[candid sleet]

I've had an idea for something to add to a mod but I'm not really sure how to implement it. And I'm also not sure where I can find a reference point for doing this either.
It's basically just a type of card that acts the same way as consumables like Tarots, Planets and Spectrals, but I'd want to give them their own slots so that you can never have more than one of this type of card at a time, but also so they don't take up consumable slots

the only similar thing that's really coming to mind at the minute that might help explain it would be the slot shown underneath consumables in the multiplayer mod, that's used to show when the opponent has a specific joker

[red flower]

selling a joker wont trigger it, that has its own context
i think food jokers expiring are not counted but idk if thats intended or a bug

[fluid steppe]

yeah you know what

i think simplifying it to just being "when a joker is sold"

would be best

[fluid steppe]

what is that context

[fluid steppe]

probably shouldve guessed

[willow scroll]

bump, and/or could anyone point me to a mod with scoring calculation implementations so i can learn from that

[wintry solar]

What exactly are you trying to achieve here?

[willow scroll]

i want to have a scoring parameter that is literally just G.GAME.dollars

for a deck idea i have

but the current implementation actually relies on the deck for the parameter to work and it doesnt even work exactly how i want because i want money earned during a hand to still count towards the parameter but in its current setup if i earn money by means of for example golden ticket it only applies on the next hand

as far as im aware calc_effect and modify only get applied when a key is actually registered, and my current idea is to do some jank wizardry with SMODS.Scoring_Parameters['modprefix_example_key']:modify(X), but id like for something in my mod to not be jank for once

[maiden phoenix]

Dumb idea but what if you use G.GAME.dollars + (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0) instead? Not sure if G.GAME.dollar_buffer properly updates during calcs

[willow scroll]

thats a parameter? let me try that

i need to read more lovely dump

[willow scroll]

that does indeed work thank you!

also sidenote is it normal behaviour that the used scoring calculation resets to the default one every round

and if yes how do i make it not do that

[willow scroll]

i still would wish for the scoring parameter to work independently of the deck but eh might be a big ask, ty

[wintry solar]

how are you setting the scoring calc?

[willow scroll]

via SMODS.set_scoring_calculation('modprefix_minus')

and as soon as i ask that question i see G.GAME.current_scoring_calculation in the announcement 🤦‍♂️

[umbral spire]

if i have a sound dir like:

./assets/sounds/
--folder
----sound.ogg

and I did SMODS.Sound:register_global()

how can i play it?

does play_sound('modprefix_folder/sound.ogg') work?

[daring fern]

No, it's modprefix_filenamewithoutextension

[umbral spire]

but what if i have it like

./assets/sounds/
--folder1
----sound.ogg
--folder2
----sound.ogg

basically if they're named the same thing, how do i play them seperately?

[daring fern]

No, those wont be loaded.

[umbral spire]

well then how can I load them like that?

is it possible?

[daring fern]

SMODS.Sound({key = 'key', path = 'folder1/sound.ogg'})

[shadow ocean]

Teach me codding mods😥

[umbral spire]

well how can i just loop through every sound instead of doing that manually?

[queen crescent]

its not easy

[daring fern]

Remove the folders.

[umbral spire]

bru

[shadow ocean]

Thx for explaination

[queen crescent]

its something you learn on your own @shadow ocean
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

ill point you there tho

if you can read through it, you might be able to get a basic idea

[shadow ocean]

Oh thx a lot

[queen crescent]

-# its not all but this explains it better than the smods wiki

[shadow ocean]

Thank you

[cunning valley]

Is there any ways for a joker to gain retriggers? I haven't had luck finding documentation regarding it

[daring fern]

You mean like permanent retriggers?

[cunning valley]

kinda yeah. My joker idea was that after a set amount of discards, it gains a permanent retrigger

[umbral spire]

is it possible to permanently lower discards/hands?

[daring fern]

Yes, Troubadour

[umbral spire]

?

oh the joker

also how does (in loc_txt or anything) '#1#' work, or what does it display exactly?

[cunning valley]

the #1# means it's looking for the first local variable in the list of local variables, so if you have for example:

retriggers = 1, xmult = 2.5 in your local variables then doing:

"Retrigger #1# scored card, #2# mult" will display those values (in theory)

[umbral spire]

ah

thanks

[daring fern]

No, it's the values returned in loc_vars

[cunning valley]

Oh i thought that's what i said LOL

Nonetheless, it doesn't come with color so you have to stylize it yourself

[umbral spire]

G.GAME.round_resets.hands = G.GAME.round_resets.hands - card.ability.extra.h_plays?

[cunning valley]

For example:

[daring fern]

Yes.

[umbral spire]

and for discards
G.GAME.round_resets.discards = G.GAME.round_resets.discards - 1?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[azure laurel]

there is a way to make global variables?

[umbral spire]

when making a stake does it, by default, apply all previous stake effects?

if so, how can i remove that.

[daring fern]

G.GAME.modprefix_variable = value

[azure laurel]

thx man

[umbral spire]

is this correct?
if _card.edition == 'modprefix_edition' then

[daring fern]

No, if _card.edition and _card.edition.editionkey

[umbral spire]

oh

[azure laurel]

where do i add it?, cuz the game crashed

[umbral spire]

is this valid? idk if i need the args to be (self, cards, hand, handname, check)

    debuff_hand = function(self, blind, context)
            local suits = {
                ['Hearts'] = 0,
                ['Diamonds'] = 0,
                ['Spades'] = 0,
                ['Clubs'] = 0
            }
            ...flower pots code...
            if suits["Hearts"] > 0 and
                suits["Diamonds"] > 0 and
                suits["Spades"] > 0 and
                suits["Clubs"] > 0 then
                return false
            else
                return true
            end
        end
    end,

[daring fern]

No, you can't use Flower Pots code without the cards.

[umbral spire]

so add the 'hand' arg?

[daring fern]

No, you need all of the arguments.

[umbral spire]

ah

so (self, blind, context, cards, hand, handname, check)?

[daring fern]

No, self, cards, hand, handname, check

[umbral spire]

but what about context.X usages?

-# if context.scoring_hand[i]:is_suit('Hearts', true) and suits["Hearts"] == 0 then

[daring fern]

cards[i]

[azure laurel]

.?

[daring fern]

You need to put it in a place where the game has already loaded.

[azure laurel]

the main.lua counts?

[elder rune]

cards[i] like he said

[umbral spire]

vro the msg said hand[i]

but alr

[elder rune]

nah idk what youre tlaking abt

[umbral spire]

how do i detect if a joker has any edition

[daring fern]

if card.edition

[umbral spire]

how can i get a random integer between two values, is it possible with psuedorandom?

-# i ask too many questions

[daring fern]

pseudorandom('seed', 1, 2)

[umbral spire]

how do i remove an (all) edition from a joker?

[daring fern]

card:set_edition()

[tepid eagle]

how do i remove an edition from a joker but the joker is me and the edition is depression

[elder rune]

yume (E++):set_edition()

[tepid eagle]

ok i'll try that

what the fuck

[elder rune]

crazy

[tepid eagle]

how do i give myself my edition back

[red flower]

editionless

[frosty rampart]

yume (E++).set_edition("e_happy")

[umbral spire]

bro 😭

[tepid eagle]

this is worse

[wind steppe]

yume (E++):set_edition(“e_sarc_gay”)

[umbral spire]

erm its ":" not "." 🤓

[slim ferry]

why would this trigger on cards created by familiar/incantation and such

[wind steppe]

because its triggering on enhanced cards?

also use scale_card smh

[slim ferry]

hiker doesnt use scale card does it now

[wind steppe]

oh whoops

[slim ferry]

also its meant to only trigger when a card that was previously enhanced gets enhanced again

[tepid eagle]

foiled again

[slim ferry]

actually wait ill try smth

[wind steppe]

set a flag on every enhanced card in deck and only trigger if it has the flag

also don’t forget vampire

[slim ferry]

????????????

why would i need to set a flag

[wind steppe]

what else would you do

[slim ferry]

literally look at the cod

e

its already checking if it was enhanced before

[wind steppe]

yeah and it’s not working

[slim ferry]

yeah because i wasnt checking context.unchanged

wait no

fuck that doesnt work either

[wind steppe]

i don’t like my solution but it probably works

[slim ferry]

but the issue is specifically with familiar/incantation/grim

it works for literally everything else

[wind steppe]

take ownership of them
🧠

[slim ferry]

no

[daring fern]

Have you tried printing context.old?

[umbral spire]

how can i lock the gamespeed in settings at a val (say, 0.5) and then after something revert it to original value.

[faint yacht]

Check how Yahi changes gamespeed, then hook G.FUNCS.change_gamespeed to prevent execution of original function.

[umbral spire]

wont G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED = 0.5 work?

[daring fern]

No, because it can be changed.

[umbral spire]

ah

[umbral spire]

what if it is in calculate ?

[slim ferry]

you can still just go into the settings?

[wind steppe]

why would that change anything

[slim ferry]

what would stop you from going into the settings and changing it back

[umbral spire]

i thought calculate is always being called

[wind steppe]

do you. do you mean the update function

[umbral spire]

huh

[slim ferry]

calculate only gets called when a context is calculated

[umbral spire]

oh

so then how do i do it

;-;

[wind steppe]

this

[slim ferry]

does anyone know why my debugplus doesnt show me prints

i have all but 1 setting turned on

but nothing shows

oh wait

oh my god

but for some reason grim and such seem to set the ability of cards they create an additional time

[wind steppe]

Thunk Moment™

[umbral spire]

?

[wind steppe]

why aren’t you checking key

why name

[umbral spire]

yahimod does that ;-;

i just yoinked it

[wind steppe]

yahiamice moment

[solid salmon]

guys

[daring fern]

Why are you overriding Game:update?

[solid salmon]

i saw the documentation for making a gradient

and im wondering

how do i actually make it

[umbral spire]

i yoinked it from yahimods code 😭

[wind steppe]

Don’t

[umbral spire]

it works fine

[wind steppe]

Just do this

[elder rune]

fine ~= good

[slim ferry]

what is the probability identifier/seed for lucky card mult

[elder rune]

tryna make an edition but for now im only attempting to make the cards more yellow

Ive made sure that its called "firstedition" everywhere too

okay I seemed to have figured out the problem

[umbral spire]

i dont know what this means

[wind steppe]

check vanillaremade wiki for hooks

[elder rune]

what the fuck do they mean by swizzle selection out of range

[umbral spire]

how can i disable all held in hand effects temporarily?

[gusty compass]

how would i consider adding interchangable names, descriptions and sprites for a joker

[daring fern]

Hook SMODS.score_card

[umbral spire]

what does hook 'x' mean

[daring fern]

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

[primal terrace]

how to detect if any voucher is redeemed

[daring fern]

if context.buying_card and context.card.ability.set == 'Voucher'

[umbral spire]

like

local score_card_ref = SMODS.score_card
function SMODS.score_card(card, context)
    if card and card.ability then
        card.ability.hold_in_hand = false
    end
    return score_card_ref(card, context)
end

?

[daring fern]

No, if context.cardarea == G.hand then return nil end

[umbral spire]

local score_card_ref = SMODS.score_card
function SMODS.score_card(card, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.hand then return nil end
end

?

[daring fern]

No, you need to return the old function.

[umbral spire]

or at the bottom

[slim ferry]

you always need to return the old function, so yes at the bottom

[umbral spire]

is it possible to make a 1 in 3 chance for played hand to not score

[slim ferry]

yeah

[umbral spire]

how ;-

[umbral spire]

with debuff_hand?

or like

[slim ferry]

check how cryptid does it for tornado (just ignore all the blind related stuff https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptid/blob/91db14ee4de9a024f2cd9f36c344ad49c686b768/items/blind.lua#L1088-L1106

also it has a system to make it so you cant get fucked by getting unlucky which is what G.GAME.blind.tornado_guarantee is related to i think

[gusty compass]

-# bump

[umbral spire]

i dont get the code

well i kinda do

but like, where's the 1 in X chance

[slim ferry]

the SMODS.pseudorandom_probability

but also i forgot this isnt a calculate oosp

[umbral spire]

idk the args for pseudorandom_probability

[slim ferry]

but yeah use context.debuff_hand and check not context.check (i think) so it doesnt roll the probability every time the debuff is checked for

[slim ferry]

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

[umbral spire]

so SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(self, "seed", 1, 3, "id") is 1 in 3?

[umbral spire]

vro

how do i remove all seals, editions & enhancements from card(s)

[daring fern]

card:set_seal()
card:set_edition()
card:set_ability('c_base')

[slim ferry]

yes

though seed is automatically set as the id if you dont give a seperate id

[gusty compass]

bump

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-change-the-name-or-description-of-a-card-dynamically

for the sprite you can do card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = num, y = num})

[gusty compass]

Thanks

[chrome widget]

Is anyone available to help me with updating context flags? I'm having trouble doing it cause it's undocumented

[spiral crown]

So I am dealing with random enhancements, 281 in card.lua is the mult enhancement, other ehancements work without crash as intended (seen everything but lucky and mult cards)
anyone know why this is crashing?

[rocky plaza]

1: You misspelled "guaranteed" (you currently have gauranteed)
2: G.P_CENTERS[enhancement] is wrong, it should just be enhancement

[spiral crown]

thanks! any ideas why it worked half the time?

[rocky plaza]

i think it may be due to the structure of G.P_CENTERS, although im not entirely sure

anyways u shouldnt need to interact much with G.P_CENTERS unless you know what you're doing with it

[spiral crown]

lol guess I didn't understand it as well as I thought, appreciate the assist!

[daring fern]

No, it would still work.

[rocky plaza]

hmm

[rocky plaza]

which enhancements was it crashing with

[spiral crown]

well its hard to confirm exactly which ones because it would crash before I saw the card get enhanced, but Glass, steel, stone, and bonus cards all worked atleast

[gaunt folio]

how do i only modify only one cards probability with seals if its possible? It pours over into other cards

[daring fern]

if context.trigger_obj == card

[frosty rampart]

you can also check the identifier during the mod_probability context

[gaunt folio]

Thanks

[frosty rampart]

vanilla content has unique identifiers for each probability roll, so e.g. you could make a seal that very specifically only affects the roll for mult on lucky cards

[solid salmon]

hey guys

how do i make custom gradients

like an actual example please

also

is there a way to make something manipulate other cards variables and loc txt

[native bone]

Should I be using j_modprefix_joker or just modprefix_joker? Im trying to read the key of the Joker

[solid salmon]

j_modprefix_joker

[native bone]

That's what I thought

Or maybe I have bad code, idk

I'm trying to detect when another Space Baby is detected, then it should give x2 Chips and x2 Mult

[solid salmon]

first

what is the key of this "Space Baby"

[native bone]

j_stufful_spacebaby

[solid salmon]

No i mean

Just show me where you created the spacebaby

[native bone]

Oh, okay

[atomic edge]

can anyone explain how to add rarities to consumables?

[atomic edge]

or is there some kind of guide or a mod that does it

[native bone]

I dunno, maybe look at Vanilla Remade's Soul cards

[solid salmon]

First of all

If its unlocked by default

You do not need an unlock condition

[native bone]

Thanks

[solid salmon]

next(SMODS.find_card("j_splash"))

Try using this

But replace splash with your space baby

[native bone]

Okay, I'll try it

It still didnt work

[willow scroll]

damn i cant read after all because how do i set this value properly

[solid salmon]

show the code

oh yeah

i still need to know how to make gradients and manipulate enhancements/jokers

[gusty compass]

Also how would I separate name and text from localize, since that guide uses localization files, and how would it plug into loc_txt exactly?

[solid salmon]

like

do you want to put the name and local text into the SMODS.joker?

or whatever consumable

[slim ferry]

you cant change the description without using localization files, since the only way is by pointing to a different key in the localization file by returning a key in loc_vars

[atomic edge]

how can i make only a certain booster pack type spawn in the shop for a round?

i see it uses get_pack("shop_pack")

but the shop_pack is nowhere to be found

[gusty compass]

I suppose, since my main goal is to allow a joker to switch state and name

[atomic edge]

do i just make a custom pool

[slim ferry]

since its a string thats probably just an identifier thats used for a seed/whatever other functionality

you could probably hook that function and check if the one argument is "shop_pack"

[unkempt bronze]

Is there a way to make a quiz as a boss blind?

[slim ferry]

i mean theres wordle and chrome dino boss blinds that have been made

its definitely possible, you'll just have to figure out the majority by yourself

[unkempt bronze]

Well, that's going to be a challenge. I wanted to make The Splapp, doesn't allowed played hands if you miss an Impossible Quiz question

[unkempt bronze]

Which mod did the wordle one?

[slim ferry]

aikoyori's shenanigans

[unkempt bronze]

Ohh

And where do I go to get yahimod?

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/Yahiamice/yahimod-balatro

[unkempt bronze]

Now to study how they work to make my own.

[native bone]

wtf happened to my crashlog

It seems the letters are coked up on that good stuff

[slim ferry]

something wierd with shaders happened

that usually fucks up crash text rendering too

[native bone]

I would assume so, but I have no shaders in my mod.

[slim ferry]

🤷 idk then

[native bone]

Let's just hope it was a one off occasion.

[slim ferry]

you can at least read the crash properly in the lovely log or if you copy paste it

[native bone]

Oh well, I closed it lol

Eris, you are absolutely right. Something has gone wrong with the Negative shader, because my game crashed trying to spawn a Negative Joker

Probably interrupted

[slim ferry]

well if your mod does absolutely nothing rendering-related it might be another mod you have that does?

[rough furnace]

glitched crash my beloved

I need to properly make a replication for that so I can fix it

[tepid eagle]

me when im a breakcore album cover

[unkempt bronze]

Anyone know how to make buttons in Balatro?

[slim ferry]

read up on ui https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/UI-Guide (the actual button bit is only a small thing but you definitely need to know more than that)

[native bone]

So how can I spawn a card from a custom pool?

[lucid owl]

how does it even occur

[unkempt bronze]

that + yahimod = maybe a boss blind

[slim ferry]

use SMODS.ObjectType https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType, and then use the key of it as the set inside of an add/create_card call

[rough furnace]

idk what the root cause is but a lot of text seems to cause it

[sharp arch]

guys how do i properly use https

[lucid owl]

is it the text just getting horrifyingly stretched?

[red flower]

as eris said, you can't. you need to use a loc file for this

[gusty compass]

Yea I figured it out, I meant using a loc file but ig i worded it wrong, it's working now so thanks you both

[unkempt bronze]

What dies minh = 8 represent in the context of scales?

I'm looking in the UI guide, and I'm confused by this part.

[rough furnace]

I think so, it's something happening in love's rendering

[slim ferry]

minh is minimum height

so it forces it to be at least that big but allows it to grow if needed

[unkempt bronze]

Ah

Honestly, I think I'm figuring it out a bit now

[sharp arch]

hey, so a blind just- closes my game when defetaed, which its not supposed to do that

Where do I load this into balatro to test it?

Your UI can be in any file as long as that file is loaded in.

At least that's how the private branch of WCCO works.

-# YMMV

No, like any spot in my code that I should to make sure it doesn't snap the game?

[glass scaffold]

I would suggest at like the top or bottom of your code.

been trying to make a joker that basically saves you if you run out of hands by giving you an extra hand for an increasingly higher money penalty. Got most aspects of it working, but it still activates and deducts the money even if I get enough points to win the blind.
Right now I'm trying to compare the current chips to the blind requirements, but it checks the score before it updates (e.g. I have 100 points out of the 300 required, I play a final hand for 500 points, and G.GAME.chips still gives 100, even though context.after should be after the score has already calculated).
Any other way I could make this work? something like checking the points of the hand before it gets totaled? I could maybe do a different scoring context but I think this is the last one before I'd actually get the game over screen.

Have you tried flipping < to >?

Maybe a logic error?

[unkempt bronze]

Do I put it in consumables or on a boss blind like I plan to or?

Anywhere in any file that gets loaded.

i.e: Private WCCO slaps the UI code at the top of Jokers.lua

And my UI code toggles copyright music for all the WC Agent rarity Jokers.

quick question, I remember being shown a link for a github or something that had the vanilla jokers code for reference, where can I find that?

[glass scaffold]

VanillaRemade on GitHub

[stuck ore]

thank you

[clever wasp]

yo, can someone pls help me out? im having a lot of issues, my balatro its crashing a lot

[unkempt bronze]

[dark roost]

yes, I tried playing a bit with values and logic but the problem seems to be that G.GAME.chips gives the wrong number. (I put ease_dollars(G.GAME.chips) and it was always the amount of chips from my previous hand)

[clever wasp]

i dont code, but i have the log

[glass scaffold]

Crash log (obtainable via CTRL + C on crash screen) and code (if you're a mod dev).

[unkempt bronze]

then log and mods you were using, if applicable

[glass scaffold]

Perfect, send it here and we'll see what's wrong.

[unkempt bronze]

Hmm. One of the mods you have (I don't know which) mixed up enhancements and seals, to my admittedly bad figuring

[clever wasp]

what do you recommend for me to do?
