[glass scaffold]

The "Red" enhancement (not sure of which mod) couldn't be found or applied correctly to what it needed to be.

This is probably that specific mod's fault, so see if an update is available or ask the devs to fix.

[clever wasp]

tks bro <33

[unkempt bronze]

figure out which mod it is

[glass scaffold]

But you can also employ what I call The Sims method:

Take 50% of mods and set them aside in a separate folder, test. No crash? Add some mods back in. Rinse and repeat until your bad mod is found.

[clever wasp]

im using the balatro mod manager, i can just turn off the mods right?

[unkempt bronze]

yep!

[clever wasp]

thanks

[unkempt bronze]

is it okay if I load it as it's own file after another?

[glass scaffold]

You can have a UI.lua file. That's acceptable.

[slim ferry]

is fixed on later versions of handsome devils

[dark roost]

do you know if there's any way to see the chips of the currently played hand before it's added to the total score? bcause if that's possible I could just add them up in my check and that should fix it.

[wind steppe]

what if you just multiplied chips and mult

[slim ferry]

theres a function for it now

since scoring calculations exist

i forgor what its called exactly

[unkempt bronze]

Wait, I think I have it in the wrong file

(couldn't read it)

[unkempt bronze]

apparently not

[copper perch]

So, I'd want a custom spectral card to remove a joker slot when used, how would I go about that?

[faint yacht]

SMODS.calculate_round_score()

[faint yacht]

G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit - 1

[unkempt bronze]

Can I have some help?

[slim ferry]

do elaborate

the file should never matter

[unkempt bronze]

        {n = G.UIT.R, config = {w = 400, h = 100, colour = G.C.RED, padding = 0.15}, nodes = {
            {n = G.UIT.C, config = {w = 150, h = 50, colour = G.C.WHITE, padding = 0.15}}, nodes = {
                 {n = G.UIT.T, config = {text = 'Just a test', colour = G.C.BLUE, padding = 0.15}}    
            }
            {n = G.UIT.C, config = {w = 150, h = 50, colour = G.C.WHITE, padding = 0.15}}, nodes = {
                 {n = G.UIT.T, config = {text = 'Just a test again', colour = G.C.BLUE, padding = 0.15}}    
            }
        }},
        
        {n = G.UIT.R, config = {w = 400, h = 100, colour = G.C.RED, padding = 0.15}, nodes = {
            {n = G.UIT.C, config = {w = 150, h = 50, colour = G.C.WHITE, padding = 0.15}}, nodes = {
                 {n = G.UIT.T, config = {text = 'Just a test once more', colour = G.C.BLUE, padding = 0.15}}    
            },
            {n = G.UIT.C, config = {w = 150, h = 50, colour = G.C.WHITE, padding = 0.15}}, nodes = {
                 {n = G.UIT.T, config = {text = 'Just a test for the last time', colour = G.C.BLUE, padding = 0.15}}    
            }
        }}
}}```
Says the following error

[copper perch]

what would I want that in? 1st time modding a consumable 😅

[slim ferry]

yeah thats an issue with your code not it being a seperate file

[faint yacht]

The use function definition.

[slim ferry]

you forgot a bracket somewhere

or did some other wierd thing

but ui is nested table hell so its hard to read where the issue is

[unkempt bronze]

Its just a reworking of the UI example in UI guide... How'd I break it?

Might not know about n?

[slim ferry]

well it says unexpected sumbol near '{'

so probably look for that near a '{'

[unkempt bronze]

n is near {

[copper perch]

like this?

use = function(self, card)
  G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit - 1
end

[slim ferry]

well that isnt going to cause issues

[unkempt bronze]

Well I don't know the issue, the bracket's closed.

nothing's before it

[slim ferry]

well yeah it isnt saying that the bracket isnt closed

also the crash says line 7

[unkempt bronze]

That's the localization file

[slim ferry]

then thats not even an issue with your ui

wait

no its not your localization file

[unkempt bronze]

I meant my json file

[slim ferry]

it doesnt even say .json

how

[faint yacht]

Should be, yeah.

[unkempt bronze]

gimme a second...

[unkempt bronze]

assert(SMODS.load_file("src/Challengecode.lua"))()
assert(SMODS.load_file("src/config.lua"))()
assert(SMODS.load_file("src/Elemental.lua"))()
assert(SMODS.load_file("src/Pack.lua"))()
assert(SMODS.load_file("src/Edition.lua"))()
assert(SMODS.load_file("src/just_the_splapp_boss.lua"))()```
7th line here

[slim ferry]

thats

not a json

[unkempt bronze]

this and the json file are named the same, barring capitalization

[slim ferry]

ok

point still stands

its not your json file

[dark roost]

which 2 variables would that be then? I've tried a few variatons of G.GAME.chips, current_round.current_hand.chips, chips_total etc. but none of those seem to be the right one.
found them

[unkempt bronze]

Yeah, and the json file's fine. I just stressed myself and said that instead of this

[slim ferry]

also here you have some double closing brackets after some configs which should be moved to the end of nodes

well one of them

[unkempt bronze]

Which one

[slim ferry]

every G.UIT.C

[clever wasp]

tks bro

[unkempt bronze]

        {n = G.UIT.R, config = {w = 400, h = 100, colour = G.C.RED, padding = 0.15}, nodes = {

                 {n = G.UIT.T, config = {text = 'Just a test', colour = G.C.BLUE, padding = 0.15}}    
            }}
            {n = G.UIT.C, config = {w = 150, h = 50, colour = G.C.WHITE, padding = 0.15}, nodes = {
                 {n = G.UIT.T, config = {text = 'Just a test again', colour = G.C.BLUE, padding = 0.15}}    
            }}

            {n = G.UIT.C, config = {w = 150, h = 50, colour = G.C.WHITE, padding = 0.15}, nodes = {
                 {n = G.UIT.T, config = {text = 'Just a test once more', colour = G.C.BLUE, padding = 0.15}}    
            }},
            {n = G.UIT.C, config = {w = 150, h = 50, colour = G.C.WHITE, padding = 0.15}, nodes = {
                 {n = G.UIT.T, config = {text = 'Just a test for the last time', colour = G.C.BLUE, padding = 0.15}}
            }}
        }}
}}```
Like so?

[slim ferry]

apart from the missing commas, yes

or well one missing

[unkempt bronze]

where?

[slim ferry]

after the first G.UIT.C

also do you not have the vscode lua extension or smth

it should definitely tell you that

[unkempt bronze]

STILL BROKE!!!

[gusty compass]

what is this meant to mean 🥀

[slim ferry]

how so

[slim ferry]

well it broke a line earlier so like idk

it doesnt appear like you changed anything there

[unkempt bronze]

All I did was clear the opening blank line. It breaks on the first character, it might be the n

it always has a red line under it in the editing software...

that n at the top

[slim ferry]

well

theres clearly something wierd going on

since it should be green normally

as in the text colour of every table element

[unkempt bronze]

none of the other n's have that

[slim ferry]

well yeah

because the entire table appears to be broken

[unkempt bronze]

How did I break it? I copied it from the UI guide!

[slim ferry]

wait

can you show the full screenshot

[slim ferry]

yeah your issue is that you arent assigning the whole thing to a variable

currently youre just dropping a random table in the code

[unkempt bronze]

Oh. So remove the outmost paren?

[slim ferry]

no

assign the whole ui table to an actual value

[unkempt bronze]

like ui_v?

[slim ferry]

what

[unkempt bronze]

you said set it to a value, can I set it to that?

[slim ferry]

variable

i meant assign it to a variable

its your mod though you can name your variables whatever you want

[unkempt bronze]

Set that first in the file?

[slim ferry]

just start the file with <something> = <the whole ui table>

[unkempt bronze]

Okay, Balatro is opening. How do I check if the UI works as it should?

Because, if it's half the nested table hell you claim it to be, I should check it every edit!

[slim ferry]

i mean its more just dont ever hit format document or vscode expands the entire thing to all hell

it shouldnt be an issue outside of being hard to read

[unkempt bronze]

Well, how do I see if my UI coding works?

[slim ferry]

idk how to just create ui though all ive done is like a mod config tab

though you could just return it in SMODS.current_mod.config_tab for testing ig

probably not the best method but thats all i know

[unkempt bronze]

You know anyone versed in UI?

[slim ferry]

not particularly

but someone will probably show up

[unkempt bronze]

I'll ask around. (and try not to be a bother)

[copper perch]

Sorry to jump in but my consumable is not working, I'm trying to make it so it enhances a playing card to my modded enhancement

config = { max_highlighted = 1, mod_conv = 'm_DRY_oddity' },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS[card.ability.mod_conv]
        return { vars = { card.ability.max_highlighted, localize { type = 'name_text', set = 'Enhanced', key = card.ability.mod_conv } } }
    end,

[unkempt bronze]

Hmm. I think I have similar consumables, hang on.

            local xiferp_up_a_step = SMODS.poll_enhancement({guaranteed = true, type_key = 'shuffletheseed'})
            local card_to_change = pseudorandom_element(G.hand.cards, 'shufflethedeck')
                      G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                           func = function()
                                card_to_change:set_ability(xiferp_up_a_step, nil, true)
                           return true
                     end
             }))  
        end   
}```
Mine looks like this, but this changes a random card to have a random enhancement

[unkempt bronze]

how's this?

[slim ferry]

What part isnt working, it looks just fine

[copper perch]

I click on the card, and can use the consumable, but does not apply the enhancement I need. I know they key is right though because I reference it earlier

[slim ferry]

Does it just apply a different enhancement?

[copper perch]

It doesnt apply one, from what I can see at least

[slim ferry]

Does hovering over the enhanced card show anything

[copper perch]

No

[slim ferry]

Huh

[copper perch]

I use it, applies its use function, but does not change the enhancement

[unkempt bronze]

the use function works, but the applying part doesn't?

[slim ferry]

there isnt a use function because it uses the built in functionality i assume

[copper perch]

It does the reverse, does the use function but not using earlier code

I'll check without the use and see what happens, hold on

Its the use function.

If I have a card changing enhancement and also has a 'use' built in it bugs out

[unkempt bronze]

???

[slim ferry]

Well adding a use function overrides the default automatic mod_conv functionality

So that might be it?

[copper perch]

Has to be

[gusty iron]

i had an idea for a joker but i dont know if it would be possible so uh...

is it in anyway possible to get lovely to detect webcam data?

[copper perch]

How would I go about putting that same code in use then, since that seems to be required

[unkempt bronze]

Uhh probably, but why, if I may?

[gusty iron]

I was gonna make a joker where you had to express a certain emotion, and it gives mult based off of how accurate you were

[slim ferry]

If youre doing something else alongside enhancing you could copy over the enhancing code that vanillaremade has for the enhancers (should be in the commented out use functions)

[unkempt bronze]

That.. seems impossible, or at least seems like a lot of coding.

[slim ferry]

I mean software for detecting expressions already exists tbf

[copper perch]

I'll check that out, thank you!

[unkempt bronze]

then how about making Balatro see your face in real time?

[slim ferry]

🤷

[gusty iron]

I would (most likely) have to make my own RNN and train it, or find one coded in lua

[slim ferry]

Webcam is probably the hard part but i cant imagine its entirely impossible

[unkempt bronze]

I mean, it's an app. Jokers have seen other apps before.

(There's a joker in one mod that gives xmult per crash log)

[gusty iron]

thats FILES, not apps

-# i too have a joker which accesses, and actually deletes files if you have them in a folder it tells you to make

-# it then gives ^mult based off of file size

[unkempt bronze]

-# good joker goodness!

[gusty iron]

i would need to find some sort of camera library

[thorn basin]

does someone have the link for that github page that explains how to publish your Balatro mod?

I need it cuz there's also some other information I need for my mod

[unkempt bronze]

like what exactly?

[copper perch]

works, thank you! :)

[unkempt bronze]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod

Can't wait to see Scienceful!

[thorn basin]

this is not the page that explains how to publish your own mod

it's an introduction page on how to make your mod

[unkempt bronze]

gimme a second...

should be there somewhere...

[unkempt bronze]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata You need mod metadata?

I'm pretty sure you can just like... upload it to github and that works?

[thorn basin]

It's not that but there was a specific QnA of that page where I could get more info about some of the SMODS functions that aren't in the documentation

[unkempt bronze]

I have no idea where I should be looking

[gusty iron]

how would i do sin cos and tan in talisman?

[unkempt bronze]

Anything in specific you're missing?

[thorn basin]

How to immediately make a specific joker lose the run

there was that info in the FAQ

[unkempt bronze]

Oh. That's, easy. I don;t know what that command is, but I know it's somewhere. Lemme try to find it

I don't know where to find it

[native bone]

What is the default in a SMODS.ObjectType? It cant be an icon, is it?

[unkempt bronze]

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

found it

[thorn basin]

there ya go, thx

it was this page

[unkempt bronze]

yw! can't wait to see the mod!

[thorn basin]

thx!

[unkempt bronze]

yw!

[topaz berry]

does the game keep track of a list of jokers sold in a run?

[native bone]

afaik no

[native bone]

You can check if a card is sold though

[topaz berry]

i noticed jokers in the cryptid mod call G.GAME.jokers_sold but that seems to be a list made by the cryptid mod

[native bone]

This crashes whenever I get to the end of the shop. I think the problem lies at the SMODS.add_card, but I'm not entirely sure.

It also fucks up rendering too when it crashes, probably because it makes a Negative

[atomic edge]

is the game coded so that the first shop always has a buffoon pack?

[vague crag]

I think so

[atomic edge]

oh

okay thanks

[topaz berry]

I have created a joker that stores sold jokers. The joker is functional except that it crashed when duplicated through means such as ankh or invis. The sold jokers are stored in a table in the config
config = { extra = {sold_jokers = {}} }
This is the section that adds jokers to the table

if context.selling_card and (context.card.ability.set == "Joker") and not (card == context.card) and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.sold_jokers[#card.ability.extra.sold_jokers+1] = context.card
end

The error code is a stack overflow, there is some infinite recursion or loop. Do you know why this is happening, or how I could avoid it?

[atomic edge]

can you send crash screenshot?

[topaz berry]

Yes

One second

[atomic edge]

can you send the ingame one?

so i can see the line where it says what crashed it

[atomic edge]

bro im sorry but i cant think of what could cause it

sry for not being helpful

[topaz berry]

all good, im just lost, maybe the copycard function breaks if theres too much in the config

will work on a workaround implementation

[atomic edge]

did you test it with the ankh?

[topaz berry]

ankh and invisible joker

[atomic edge]

because invis joker being sold and your joker copying it might be a problem but if the ankh also does it than thats not it

[topaz berry]

oh interesting

it works if i debug more of the joker in, just not when copied

[copper perch]

So I got a general idea how the change information on a card, yet for some reason my game crashes on open. Any help??

    key = 'manufactured_darkness',
    set = 'Spectral',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Manufactured Darkness',
        text = {
            'Enhances {C:attention}#1#{} selected',
            'card into an',
            '{C:attention}Oddity Card,{}',
            '{C:red}-1{} Joker slot'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'oddity_card',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { max_highlighted = 1, mod_conv = 'm_DRY_oddity' },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        if #SMODS.find_card("j_UTDR_shadow_crystal") > 0  then
                return {
                    key = "c_DRY_manufactured_darkness_crystal",
                    vars = { card.ability.max_highlighted }
                }
        end
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS[card.ability.mod_conv]
        return { vars = { card.ability.max_highlighted, localize { type = 'name_text', set = 'Enhanced', key = card.ability.mod_conv } } }
    end,

-- So the name changes

key = "manufactured_darkness_crystal",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Manufactured Darkness",
        text = {
            'Enhances {C:attention}#1#{} selected',
            'card into an',
            '{C:attention}Oddity Card{}',
        }
    },
    no_collection = true,
    in_pool = function(self, args)
        return false
    end,

[atomic edge]

can you send full joker code?

you can dm it to me if its easier for you

[topaz berry]

yeah

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "oath_of_vengeance",
    blueprint_compat = true, 
    atlas = 'dnd',
    rarity = 4,
    cost = 10,
    pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Oath of Vengeance Joker',
        text = {
            "This Joker copies",
            "the abilities of all",
            "{C:attention}sold Jokers{}"
        }
    },
    config = { extra = {sold_jokers = {}} },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local effects = {}
        if context.selling_card and (context.card.ability.set == "Joker") and (not (card == context.card)) and (not context.blueprint) and context.card.blueprint_compat then
            card.ability.extra.sold_jokers[#card.ability.extra.sold_jokers+1] = context.card
        end
        --edited out for debugging
        --[[
        for index, joker in ipairs(card.ability.extra.sold_jokers) do
            print("Adding effects")
            effects[#effects+1] = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, joker, context)
        end
        
        return SMODS.merge_effects(effects)
        ]]--

    end,
}

[atomic edge]

okay so i checked the copy_card thing

and i think its just too much to copy a whole card

maybe try storing only the sold joker key

on your joker

and then use the key

[frosty rampart]

you shouldn't be storing whole cards inside other cards anyway
maybe look into how ortalab handles pinkprint (it copies the effect of the most recently sold joker)

[topaz berry]

DAMN SOMEONE BEAT ME TO IT

thats a good idea thank you

[atomic edge]

haha

do you guys know if there is a way to use lovely patch to patch into every line that matches?

with the pattern

[frosty rampart]

i think that happens already?

[atomic edge]

oh

i thought it only takes 1

thanks

[copper perch]

Any help here? I have done something similar with Jokers and it was just fine. This one's not working for some reason though

[atomic edge]

wait what do you want to do exactly?

you make to want a new card thats called manufactured_darkness_crystal

?

[rapid stag]

remind me, do i call SMODS.Game_Over() to instantly force gameover or

i forget how to do
nvm, you just set the state

[copper perch]

This is a spectral card, I just wanna change the name and description

[atomic edge]

then just replace the name and description in its code

these two

[copper perch]

In my case that wouldn't work, I wanna change it when a specific joker is in your joker slots (this being the shadow crystal in the code)

[atomic edge]

delete them and write what you want it to say

oh i dont know if you can dynamicaly change the name / key so im useless here sry

[copper perch]

So if the player doesnt have the Joker, its the base I have. If they do have it, I wanna change what it says, hopefully that clears up what i mean

[wind steppe]

move to localization files

[copper perch]

all good :)

[wind steppe]

then you can have the normal key and the special key separately

[copper perch]

I have had that recommended but I also found an easy way with Jokers, so figured I could copy paste that. That being:

-- Card 1
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        if math.random() < 1/615 then
            return {
                key = "j_DRY_Westville",
                vars = { card.ability.xmult_gain, card.ability.xmult }
            }
        end
        return { vars = { card.ability.xmult_gain, card.ability.xmult } }
    end,

--Card 2
key = "Westville",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Not Westville :D",
        text = {
            "Gains {X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult for",
            "{C:attention}each{} discarded card",
            "{C:inactive}(Currently {X:mult,C:white}X#2#{C:inactive} Mult)"
        }
    },
    no_collection = true,
    in_pool = function(self, args)
        return false
    end,

[wind steppe]

there's no reason to initialize a whole other joker though. localization files are what you should be doing anyways

[copper perch]

Noted, thanks

[charred widget]

Hi friends! I'm getting this crash every time I click the options button for the Talisman mod. Is there a way to fix it?

[wind steppe]

how old is deckcreator and esz's pokelatro

wait thats your mod nvm

how old is deckcreatpr

[charred widget]

last updated in july

or at least that's what it says in my file directory

[wind steppe]

try disabling that

[charred widget]

still crashes

[wind steppe]

update talisman and debugplus

[charred widget]

i installed talisman pretty recently

[charred widget]

well i reinstalled debugplus and it still crashes

[wind steppe]

where does your mod mess with ui

[charred widget]

wdym "mess with"

[wind steppe]

do anything with ui

[charred widget]

i don't think my mod does anything with UI at all

[wind steppe]

disable your mod

[charred widget]

unless joker descriptions also count as UI

[charred widget]

still crashes

although mind you it doesn't crash on startup

it only crashes when I select "config" for talisman

[wind steppe]

hm

yeah idk report the issue to talisman

[charred widget]

ok another interesting development

so i've been having trouble with the game's intro playing the audio tracks one at a time

and the audio acts weird when i open the game

but when i disable MY mod it stops doing that

which is veeeeeeeery interesting

[wind steppe]

you probably have some code somewhere messing with audio

[charred widget]

if i sent you a copy of the mod, do you think you could figure out what's making it happen?

[stiff locust]

what

[charred widget]

Oops! The game

[stiff locust]

Oops! The game

like what the fuck am I supposed to do with this

[rapid stag]

gen alpha officially btfo'd

[sturdy compass]

Lmao

Deserved

[stiff locust]

oops

not misprint deck or cryptid by the way

[primal terrace]

This line crashes the game if I hover over the Joker outside of the game, because #G.vouchers.cards is nil

Defining it as (#G.vouchers.cards or 0) also crashes it

[rocky plaza]

u need to check if G.vouchers exists prior to checking G.vouchers.cards

[primal terrace]

In the loc_vars area?

[rocky plaza]

yes

[primal terrace]

Makes sense

[rocky plaza]

so

local voucher_count = 0
if G.vouchers then
    voucher_count = #G.vouchers.cards
end

[primal terrace]

There should be more jokers that do something when you buy vouchers

[rocky plaza]

true

[rocky plaza]

in general, within loc vars functions you should never assume that a card area you are checking is not nil

[feral tree]

is it possible to make a skip tag not appear twice in the same ante?

[willow scroll]

Oops! All games

[tight pumice]

Anyone know the sound code for glass breaking?

[vale zinc]

You ain't the only one.

[tight pumice]

Making a piggy bank joker and I want it to make a shattering noise when its sold or destroyed

[vale zinc]

I've been rooting through Balatro's files, and all I could find were six files named glass1.ogg through glass6.ogg. I don't yet know what event calls them forth.

[tight pumice]

Interesting, so maybe the game picks randomly every time glass breaks

I'm just gonna pick the one that sounds the most like a piggy bank

Right now glass2 is looking pretty good

[umbral zodiac]

are redeemed vouchers stored in a cardarea and if so whats it called

unless it is g.vouchers and i just did something else wrong hold on

[charred widget]

Hi friends. Is it possible to hide a joker from the collection?

[rocky plaza]

to make it not show up in the collection?

[charred widget]

exactly

[rocky plaza]

no_collection = true

[charred widget]

cool

thanks !

[unkempt bronze]

Say, any button-coding tricks?

[unkempt bronze]

Or any mods that mess with the UI?

[hybrid iris]

you need to be SO much more specific

[timid zinc]

is there any way to check if a red seal actually retriggers anything when held in hand at end of round? it works just fine when a hand is played if the card isn't steel (doesn't return a trigger) but it always returns a trigger at end of round even if no effect is actually triggered

[chrome widget]

this is an existing cardsauce feature but I pushed it in an SMODS PR because it requires overriding vanilla code and it might as well be centralized

[copper perch]

Making a chip version of Loyalty Card, how would I get the number of hands remaining to work in the text? #2# returns 1 greater than every and #3# returns an error

key = "Martlet",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Martlet",
        text = {
            "{C:chips}+#1#{} chips every",
            "{C:attention}#2#{} hands played",
            "{C:inactive}#2# remaining{}"
        }
    },
    config = {
        extra = {
            chips = 134,
            every = 1,
            birdbrain = 1
        }
    },
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                card.ability.extra.chips,
                card.ability.extra.every + 1,
                localize { type = 'variable', key = (card.ability.extra.birdbrain == 0 and 'bird_play' or 'bird_forgot'), vars = { card.ability.extra.birdbrain } }
            }
        }
    end,

Hotfixes galore......

[terse merlin]

is there a simple way to set the Showdown Blind of a Challenge to a specific blind?

for example, i have a challenge themed around moving jokers around all the time, so i want the challenge to always end with Amber Acorn or Sorrowful Styx. i know i could ban all the other blinds, but that doesnt account for blinds added by other mods

[stuck ore]

I was curious is there is a way to reverse pareidolia so that face cards score as nonface cards, (10s) but I can't find anything

[terse merlin]

like this or? https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Minty's_Silly_Little_Mod/Prosopagnosia

[stuck ore]

thats exactly like to a tee what I meant

thank you a bunch

[civic solstice]

hey guys i made a deck using jokerforge how do i port it into the game

[mystic river]

G.GAME.perscribed_bosses[G.GAME.win_ante] = "blind key"
put that in the challenge's apply function
you may have to put it in an event to make it wait until prescribed bosses exists

i don't think anything in vanilla actually uses that feature, but it's completely assembled and functional

[civic solstice]

???

i dont speak spaghetti code someone help LOL

what does this mean

[mystic river]

it means you typed your brackets and/or commas incorrectly

[civic solstice]

i didnt code anything myself i just exported the thing from jokerforge

[mystic river]

or possibly you put an equals sign in the wrong place

okay, then joker forge did that

you might want to actually look at the code somewhat

[civic solstice]

i opened the script that was shitting itself in vscode idk what any of this means

as you can tell idk shit about lua or any programming languange lmao

[mystic river]

on line 19, you should -
what exactly is that supposed to be doing, actually

it looks like it's trying to reduce the money per hand by 5% of the money on hand

[civic solstice]

the deck has the gimmick of every round a negative card gets added to your slots at the cost of removing 20% of your round profits

[civic solstice]

this is what i coded it to do

[mystic river]

okay well
that code's syntax is entirely wrong (you can't do variable assignment inside a return), and also wouldn't do that if it was fixed (you are modifying the "you get $1 per spare hand" variable, not the cash out total)

[civic solstice]

ohhhhhhh okay

[terse merlin]

thanks i'll try that

[civic solstice]

so i shouldve used this instead right

[mystic river]

no, that just changes money directly, like hermit or wraith does
i don't think the thing you're trying to do is within joker forge's capability

[civic solstice]

o

ill try it anyways

since its set to when the round ends

oh wait that fixed it what

no it didnt LMAO

the game opened but when i tried going to the deck i made it crashed

[mystic river]

you defined an atlas wrong somewhere

[civic solstice]

idk what im doing man LOL

[mystic river]

did you define an atlas named "Deck" anywhere in your mod

[civic solstice]

found it

[mystic river]

well yes. did you define that atlas?

is that an atlas you created?

[civic solstice]

idk man

i assume so

[mystic river]

do you know what the phrase "create an atlas" refers to?

[civic solstice]

idek what an atlas is LOL

[mystic river]

assume you didn't do it, then

it's looking for the atlas yourmodprefix_Deck and not finding it

presumably because you never created it

[civic solstice]

so i should replace it with this

[mystic river]

no

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

did any of what you did look even a little bit like what's going on here?

[civic solstice]

lemme read this rq

are you asking does the file structure look the same between the doc and the files?

because if so then yeah

[mystic river]

does the text SMODS.Atlas appear in any part of your mod's code

[civic solstice]

yeah

[mystic river]

okay
is that all of them? because none of them are "Deck"

[civic solstice]

seems it yeah

[mystic river]

one of them is CustomDecks
did you, perhaps, want that one?

[civic solstice]

i assume that is what would allow the deck to be functional so yes

[mystic river]

well it's an atlas that exists, instead of an atlas that doesn't exist

[civic solstice]

so i should replace this with CustomDecks?

[mystic river]

well, i specifically drew your attention to that one, so i'm thinking probably
y'know, unless you gave your atlases misleading names on purpose

[civic solstice]

okay so it worked but uhh LOL

[mystic river]

yeah you gotta put your own line breaks in

[terse merlin]

please invest in linebreaks

[civic solstice]

okay aaand in playtesting the decks abilities doesnt even work

awesome

man this looks so fucking sick

[mystic river]

it's redundantly checking for the back key (it's in the back's calculate function, other decks will never get to that point anyway) and checking for the wrong key (it's using jokerforge's default placeholder mod prefix instead of your actual prefix)

[civic solstice]

so how do i fix dat

[mystic river]

do you like
know what an if statement is

[civic solstice]

yea im not that ineducated lol

if x action happens activate y line(s) of code

[mystic river]

remove the if statement i described, which is both unnecessary and broken

(also remove the corresponding end, because that's how lua formats if statements)

[civic solstice]

are you talking about this

[mystic river]

yes

[civic solstice]

holy fuck it worked

lfg

thats awesome dude

oh yeah i should probably make some art for this

https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/loNKoFj7LBF5wklD8?invite=cr-MSxvQ1UsNDMyNTk1NDk1&v=24

im so happy

the money removing doesnt work but omg i love this

[elder rune]

That's certainly some localization

[civic solstice]

okay im realizing now with how easy it is to get money anyway with the negative jokers by selling them i think i should just remove all post round profits

[civic solstice]

yea i got lazy

lol

[civic solstice]

like

its actually a joke lmao

okay i changed up the coding a bit

i decided to make it so the money just gets set to 0 at the end of a round

if need be i can change it no problem

uhhhh what did i fuck up

i tried investing in likebreaks and it linebroke the entire thing

did bro just get hacked or smth

@terse merlin @mystic river hlep

[mystic river]

you have to put commas between items in a table

which in this case refers to the individual lines

[civic solstice]

so like that

[mystic river]

yes

[civic solstice]

except not in the last one i assume

[mystic river]

some languages would freak about an extra comma at the end but lua is fine with that

[civic solstice]

alr gotchu

tysm for helping btw

[civic solstice]

okay so im not entirely sure why the money resetting isnt working

this if statement should be handling that but it doesnt for some reason

actually wait a sec

nvm

okay i changed it to this but it didnt fix anything

soooooooooooo idk

better ss

[maiden phoenix]

Is the context actually called shop_is_entered?

[civic solstice]

idk

it didnt crash upon opening so i assume so

[maiden phoenix]

It wont crash if a bool is false

[civic solstice]

shop_is_entered is set to true tho

[plain apex]

context.shop_is_entered isn't a thing

[civic solstice]

okay thatd explain my dumbassery

[plain apex]

you could check for when stuff in the shop is generated and then do something depending on if thats what you need

[civic solstice]

yea but minor problem

[plain apex]

or you could check for if G.STATE == G.STATES.SHOP

[civic solstice]

this is the first time ive ever coded w lua

so i have next to no clue what im doing

[plain apex]

well what are you trying to do?

[civic solstice]

for the deck im making im tryna set the money to 0 when the shop is entered

since the gimmick of the deck atm makes it a joke to get money

[plain apex]

then id go for
if G.STATE == G.STATES.SHOP then
--code to set money to 0

[maiden phoenix]

Im sure theres a context for entering the shop but I dont have SMODS code available rn

[plain apex]

seems starting_shop is a thing

[civic solstice]

wait so how do i make a variable change its value in an if statement like this

is this correct

[maiden phoenix]

Also lua tip, to check if a boolean is true, typing "== true" is redundant

For == false you can do "and not context.blabla"

[civic solstice]

i assume this would be good right

[maiden phoenix]

Shouldnt it be >= 1 if you're checking for greater or equal?

[civic solstice]

Oh.

a senior in highschool btw

[plain apex]

G.GAME.dollars is the value for the money btw

[civic solstice]

yea im tryna set the value to 0

[maiden phoenix]

current_dollars is G.GAME.dollars

[plain apex]

oh ok didn't read that

mb

[civic solstice]

you good

nope still nothing

[maiden phoenix]

Oh wait im stupid

Context.main_eval will always be false if you're checking for entering shop

Remove that context check

[civic solstice]

ohh okay that makes sense

[maiden phoenix]

The game over one is useless too

[plain apex]

me when i game over in the shop so i can't lose all my money

[civic solstice]

^

[civic solstice]

no dice

code update btw

[maiden phoenix]

Replace the whole boolean check by "if context.starting_shop then"

[civic solstice]

https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/loP2E2kVClWbOQ0kw?invite=cr-MSxFa0MsNDMyNTk1NDk1&v=7

i felt like thatd be funny enough to get a clip of

this was the error

[stiff locust]

chat help me

one of my jokers is ignoring eternal

like you can sell it even when its eternal

and i dont get it

[civic solstice]

@maiden phoenix

[plain apex]

i think this whole thing could be simplified to just this if its always going to remove your money

if context.entering_shop then
  G.GAME.dollars = 0
end

[civic solstice]

ah

fuck yes

[plain apex]

yw

[civic solstice]

ty

it kinda does it in a weird way where there isnt an animation for losing the money it kinda just

immediately sets itself to 0

but thats a problem for future me

[daring fern]

No, ```lua
if context.starting_shop then
return {dollars = -G.GAME.dollars}
end

[plain apex]

yeah that would fix the display thing

[civic solstice]

ohh okay

gotchu

[plain apex]

anyway how do i use these new localization things for editions

do i just remove text and then put those in the localization somewhere or?

[civic solstice]

you sure ab that LOL

[plain apex]

well i thought it would

[civic solstice]

@daring fern

[maiden phoenix]

Do you have Talisman installed?

[plain apex]

i guess you could do the thing you were doing before and get the current_dollar value then ease_dollars(-current_dollars) instead of doing the return thing

[civic solstice]

yea

[maiden phoenix]

Thats why its crashing

[civic solstice]

i see

[maiden phoenix]

It turns G.GAME.dollars into a table

[civic solstice]

okay that worked

lets fkin go bro

[plain apex]

nice

[civic solstice]

holy fuck im so happy rn lmfao

this is the first thing ive ever coded to actually work

[plain apex]

w

[plain apex]

well it wasn't that

[maiden phoenix]

Editions are set in their own table under descriptions

return {
descriptions = {
Back={},
Blind={},
Edition={},
Enhanced={},
Joker={},
Other={},
Planet={},
Spectral={},
Stake={},
Tag={},
Tarot={},
Voucher={},
},

[plain apex]

ah

[plain apex]

so why is it not showing the playing_card text?

[hushed field]

I assume it's due to the sprite being larger than the default 32x32 a blind is, but I'm not sure how to resolve this issue of scaling. Anyone have any insight?

It does properly scale on the blind selection and the blind collection screen

[plain apex]

would it work to just scale it down to blind size?

[hushed field]

I'm not sure how I'd do that with it only affecting the blind during the round

I suspect I'd just need to patch something as the file gets loaded with an incorrect preset somehow, with the 32x32 being hardcoded in somewhere

[plain apex]

i mostly meant the actual art

as in compress poor pale man into 32x32

[hushed field]

It'd really mess up the sprite, so I'd have to redo it, but I could maybe look into having the hands be separate sprites, and just faking it 🤔

[plain apex]

damn

[plain apex]

what am i doing wrong here?

[solid salmon]

does anyone know how to make gradients

[daring fern]

What is your SMODS version?

[daring fern]

SMODS.Gradient {
    key = 'key',
    colours = {
        colour1,
        colour2,
        colour3,
    },
}

[civic solstice]

so heres my entire to-do list for this mod that is very much not finalized so much more is gonna get added onto here

[umbral spire]

why am i getting this crash?

SMODS.Blind {
    name = "myBlind",
    key = "myBlind",

    discovered = true,
    atlas = "blindatlas2",
    pos = { y = 13 },
    dollars = 5,
    mult = 2,
    boss = { min = 2 },
    boss_colour = HEX("67533D"), 

    calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if not blind.disabled then
            if G.play.cards and context.before then
                for i, c in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
                    local t = pseudorandom('bc_mule', 1, 2)
                    if t == 1 then 
                        SMODS.modify_rank(c[i], 1)
                    else
                        SMODS.modify_rank(c[i], -1)
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end 
}

[civic solstice]

quick question, if this is the context for creating a card then whats the context for destroying a card?

@maiden phoenix you know your shit with lua help me out here pls lmao

[slim ferry]

context.remove_playing_cards

[civic solstice]

okay gotchu

[slim ferry]

context.removed being the list of removed cards

[civic solstice]

that didnt work lol

[slim ferry]

whats the code

[slim ferry]

probably because youre calling it as a function

[civic solstice]

do i add context. before it

[slim ferry]

well yes

but its also not a function

[civic solstice]

wdym

so what would i do to fix that

[slim ferry]

not call it as a function

what are you even trying to do

[civic solstice]

im tryna make it so when you play a card it destroys a random card in your deck

while giving xmult

[slim ferry]

then

why do you need the context for destroying a card...

[civic solstice]

yeah thats what i asked for up here

[slim ferry]

also create_playing_card isnt a context its a function

[civic solstice]

i misread this lmao

i need it so i can destroy the random card

[slim ferry]

if you want the function for destroying a card then its SMODS.destroy_cards(cards), with cards being either a single card or a table of cards

[civic solstice]

alr thanks

so would i have to do smth like this to destroy a random card in the deck

or hand rather

[slim ferry]

where is random defined

[civic solstice]

sry if im asking too many questions i literally have never touched lua a day in my life before this

[civic solstice]

nowhere i just assumed random was a universal variable since the game works off rng

[slim ferry]

use pseudorandom_element(G.hand.cards, "seed") to get a random hand card

seed being whatever as long as its unique

[civic solstice]

so i can literally put seed as a random set of numbers and letters and itd be fine

[slim ferry]

yeah

[civic solstice]

alr

[slim ferry]

though usually people do have an actual naming convention for seeds

also if theres anything in vanilla with a similar function to what youre trying to do you should check it out on vanillaremade https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[civic solstice]

oh for FU

[slim ferry]

probably remove the whole thing in the ({ after the destroy_cards call

because thats probably not doing what you want it to be doing

[slim ferry]

can you just show the full code

also you should probably get the lua extension for vscode if you dont have that yet

[civic solstice]

i added the things back since those messed it up more

[civic solstice]

i should prob do that

[slim ferry]

its pseudorandom_element(G.hand.cards, "seed")

[civic solstice]

oh wait do i need those "" around the seed

[slim ferry]

yes but also

comma

not brackets

for seperating function arguments

[civic solstice]

ah

man

[slim ferry]

theres also

a bunch of stuff from when you still had create_playing_card there

also you should definitely do all this https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#3-set-up-the-lua-lsp

[primal robin]

Even I didn't do that

[slim ferry]

ok but its very useful when youre new to coding

[civic solstice]

okay with the lua extension it now says the 'G' is an undefined global???

[slim ferry]

yeah read further in the thing

G is something from balatro and it doesnt know about things from balatro

[civic solstice]

thanks vscode

[slim ferry]

closing bracket

and the opening quotes

missign

[civic solstice]

how tf did i miss those LOL

[slim ferry]

idk lmao

but then you should be able to go into your mods folder and copy paste the file paths for steamodded and lovely/dump into there

and then replace all the slashes because windows uses the opposite one for some reason

[civic solstice]

where exactly

[slim ferry]

in place of the path to smods and lovely dump

you can click on the file path at the top of file explorer to copy it

[civic solstice]

oh im blind

alr

okay im sorry this is too confusing for my square brain

[slim ferry]

is the file complaining about the slashes by any chance

[civic solstice]

this is my mods folder what do i have to move into where

[slim ferry]

oh

[civic solstice]

i havent even ported the things over yet

[slim ferry]

no like the balatro mods folder

copy the file path of lovely/dump and steamodded

[civic solstice]

okay then what

[slim ferry]

then put them in that settings file

[civic solstice]

what settings file im so confused lmao

[slim ferry]

the one you created

[slim ferry]

this one

[civic solstice]

ohhhhhh

sorry im dumb as fuck LOL

????

[slim ferry]

yeah replace the slashes with the other one

do ctrl f and replace all \ with /

[civic solstice]

oh right yea

[slim ferry]

because for some reason windows uses backslashes in file paths

well idk if its a windows thing

but its annoying regardless since JSON considers backslashes an escape character

[civic solstice]

i just did it manually

it should be okay now right

[slim ferry]

works too lol

yeah

it might take a short bit but itll eventually recognize more variables

[civic solstice]

okay back to the variables to the jokers i think the problem might lie in these

[slim ferry]

you should be able to do just SMODS.add_card{ set = "Default", area = G.hand } in the event and itll do all the emplacing and G.playing_card stuff automatically

[civic solstice]

im gonna lose it

[slim ferry]

show the full code

[slim ferry]

remove all of this

[civic solstice]

how theres this

[slim ferry]

show more

[slim ferry]

what is above that

[civic solstice]

all dis

[slim ferry]

remove that {

at the end of line 40

[civic solstice]

alr

[slim ferry]

also SMODS.add_card should be inside the function of the event here

[civic solstice]

oh gotcha

[slim ferry]

also you can remove the G.playing_card stuff and the emplace and materialize

since SMODS.add_card does basically everything related to creating cards for you

[civic solstice]

bruh

we just crashing over anything now 💔

[slim ferry]

yeah just remove all the stuff thats doing things with new_card

since it doesnt exist anymore

[civic solstice]

yeah it does?

[slim ferry]

SMODS.destroy_cards doesnt return anything

[civic solstice]

oh alr

okay so it wont return any of the code that the new_card is in

got it

[slim ferry]

also probably remove the SMODS.add_card because i thought you were still trying to create a card

[slim ferry]

well its more like

SMODS.destroy_cards doesnt pass out any value to assign to new_card

[civic solstice]

okay how do i disable this annoying ass backspace system

[slim ferry]

hit insert on your keyboard

[civic solstice]

do i get rid of that entire line or

just the add_card

[slim ferry]

yeah the whole line

[civic solstice]

anything else

[slim ferry]

there shouldnt be

[civic solstice]

IT WORKS

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEE

tysm dawg i appreciate you putting up with with my tiny square brain

[slim ferry]

joker made 🎉

[slim ferry]

its alr lmao

[civic solstice]

https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/loSSInGQc0H41y-2E?invite=cr-MSxkN1UsNDMyNTk1NDk1&v=16

note to self: learn lua before trying something that requires having learned lua LOL

[slim ferry]

i mean first time for everything

[civic solstice]

fair

[slim ferry]

you only get better at it from here

[vernal seal]

quick question:
how do i make it that it gives the same amount of money as the number of round winned with the first most used joker

[daring fern]

local temp_count = -math.huge
for k, v in pairs(G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].joker_usage) do
    if G.P_CENTERS[k] and v.count > temp_count then
        temp_count = v.count
    end
end
return {dollars = temp_count}

[vernal seal]

ok ill try it

[wild berry]

is there a table where all the cards in the shop are

[daring fern]

G.shop_jokers.cards, G.shop_vouchers.cards, G.shop_booster.cards

[wild berry]

ty

[vernal seal]

i thought it would give me 41 dollars, not 50?

[slim ferry]

joker_usage still has data from mods you no longer hav installed iirc

[vernal seal]

that's true

[vernal seal]

but is there any possibility to make it that it check's if the first most used joker exists?

[next timber]

you can check if its key exists in G.P_CENTERS i think

[slim ferry]

probably yeah

try checking if G.P_CENTERS[v.key] exists alongside the usage check

[solid salmon]

would this work for a gradient

[vernal seal]

am trying it

[next timber]

lua uses ~=

not !=

[slim ferry]

also dont put another if

[vernal seal]

soo like this?

[slim ferry]

it should just be G.P_CENTERS[v.key]

[vernal seal]

ok

[solid salmon]

im tryna make a gradient that goes between pink and red

(also do gradients work in descriptions?)

[daring fern]

No, just put the HEX in the colours

[daring fern]

Yes.

[vernal seal]

uhhhhh....

[solid salmon]

like this?

[slim ferry]

ok uh

try k instead of v.key maybe

[vernal seal]

ok now it works

[vernal seal]

now i just need it to put the entire code like this:

[slim ferry]

😨

[vernal seal]

because am adding global stats gamevars to Joker Forge

[vernal seal]

will it work?,
let's find out

[daring fern]

No, you need to return temp_count

[next timber]

my edition's shader seems to be hiding the rank and suit of playing cards its applied to?

[vernal seal]

so now it works right?

[daring fern]

No, outside of the for loop.

[vernal seal]

alright

[vernal seal]

now it works
thank all of you at the moment
and now i need to figure out how to do that with the most used joker in the middle

[umbral spire]

?

[daring fern]

It's just c not c[i]

[wild berry]

how can i access the cards created from booster packs

[median rose]

Besides gimp or photoshop, does anyone recommend any software for creation for joker sprite sheets?

[wild berry]

aseprite or libresprite

[daring fern]

G.pack_cards.cards

[wild berry]

ty

[unkempt bronze]

Anyone know how to make a button?

[wild berry]

create_UIBox_generic_options

[unkempt bronze]

...that all? Do I add a function?

[wild berry]

its a function

[unkempt bronze]

that makes a button?

[wild berry]

heres a snippet of code that should allow you to understand a bit more

back_delay is incase you want the button to be disabled for some time

back_label is for its text

the contents.config is to determine what it will close

if its a back button

n is the type

you can see more types in G.UIT

[unkempt bronze]

I just want a basic button that either ends the game on the spot or disables the boss it's in.

[wild berry]

use G.UIT.B

for its type

[unkempt bronze]

any changes?

[slim ferry]

it needs a button value in the config

which is a string reference to a function in G.FUNCS

and determines what happens when you click the button

[wild berry]

yeah

[slim ferry]

and like you can get it to pass arguments into the function with ref_table or ref_value or whatever but idrk how that works

[unkempt bronze]

Got it. I already made the base UI to stick the buttons in, so... that's almost everything handles for the Impossible Boss

(just need to make sure G.FUNCS points to the right value, make sure the buttons show up and work)

(and also disabling any scoring hands, but that's the Psychic extende)

[umbral spire]

how can i temporarily lock the game speed at X ? (for a blind)

[vernal seal]

for that i think i should use the value "order"

[solid salmon]

Hey guys heres something a bit complicated, what if i want to make a stat that manipulates certain cards/enhancements description and stats

[frosty rampart]

check how yahimod does it (VIBE is a boss blind that sets game speed to 0.25)

[umbral spire]

alr

[daring fern]

No, that's just where it is in the collection.

[vernal seal]

ah...
then how do i do that?

[next timber]

my edition's shader seems to be hiding the rank and suit of playing cards its applied to? what might be causing this/how could i stop it?

[vernal seal]

it's count then?

[hallow slate]

How would I get a random consumeable type and a random consumeable from that type pool?

[red flower]

i think SMODS.ConsumableTypes has all of them

but also there's the Consumable pool that does that

[slim ferry]

pool is called Consumeables iirc

[hushed field]

Trying to set up a soundtrack to play if a specific deck has been chosen, but oops

[frosty rampart]

the key and the filename have to start with music
(i don't think it's actually both but i'm pretty sure it's at least one of them)

[slim ferry]

filename does i think unless its cryptid doing things for no reason

[next timber]

its not filename, all my music tracks start with mus_

i think it mught need a sync property?

[slim ferry]

no

sync is optional

[next timber]

ok yeah i just checked with my own music

the key does need to start with music

[daring fern]

No, it needs to contain it.

[next timber]

oh fair

[hushed field]

It was music_ before at least one of them, but I just did botht o be save, haha

[median rose]

Is there a way to see how many total runs you have attempted on a specific profile?

[copper perch]

I know I'm probably doing something basic wrong but dont know what

[slim ferry]

i think it might be returning 1 greater than every because youre adding 1 to every in the loc_vars

[median rose]

Unfortunate

[copper perch]

Yeah, which is a good thing cause I want that for one of them...cant figure out how to not for the other

[slim ferry]

well return an additional variable

where you dont add 1

[copper perch]

that would be the 'birdbrain' variable, its return doesnt work though

[slim ferry]

why dont you just return card.ability.extra.every again but without adding 1

[copper perch]

I need it to track like loyalty card does for how many hands are left, every isnt the thing changing, birdbrain is

[slim ferry]

oh i see

[wild berry]

how can i modify the chips of a card

[slim ferry]

but 3 returning error would be because the localization entry doesnt exist

[slim ferry]

like hiker?

[wild berry]

no like

modify it directly

[slim ferry]

wdym

does hiker not modify it directly

[wild berry]

dont think so

[slim ferry]

what is the goal

[wild berry]

change the chips of the card i want to change

like

able to subtract

and sum it

[slim ferry]

you can also do that

[wild berry]

but i ultimately want to multiply it

[slim ferry]

well if you multiply based on the base chips value too then just card.ability.perma_bonus = card.ability.perma_bonus + (card:get_chip_bonus() * <multiplier> - 1)

[wild berry]

oh

thanks

[daring fern]

No, you just put it in G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile]

[copper perch]

Confused how that is the case, I do return a 3rd to my knowledge. Am I just identifying it wrong?

[slim ferry]

i said the localization entry doesnt exist

[wild berry]

how can i check if a card is a playing card

[slim ferry]

you need to have a localization entry with the key youre using localize on in dictionary

[copper perch]

ahhh

[slim ferry]

or v_dictionary i forgot

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-the-set-pool-or-key-of-a-specific-cardobject

[wild berry]

ty

[slim ferry]

checking card.playing_card should work too i think?

i forget what its called

[hushed field]

still trying to solve why the blind gets rendered like this during the round. It's 54x54 instead of 34x34, and the slices in the animation here are definitely 34x34, so I guess it's hardcoded somewhere, but I haven't found a way to solve the issue yet

[wild berry]

it works but its that i specifically want to modify the CHIPS themselves, not the extra chips

[daring fern]

Put it on card.ability.bonus instead.

[wild berry]

kty

same thing

[copper perch]

so would I need a localization file for this or would I be able to get by without it? If needed, would there be a way to replace localize with anything else?

[next timber]

bump

[rocky plaza]

Is there a way to display arbitrary text in a config menu using localization such that stuff like {C:attention} or {X:mult,C:white} will apply their visual effects to the text?

[slim ferry]

you would need a localization file

[slim ferry]

im pretty sure theres some jank with modifying the chips directly which is why i gave the workaround solution thats effectively the same

but then you just do card.base.nominal = card.base.nominal * multiplier

if you want specifically base chips

[median rose]

I'm trying to set up a hook that triggers only if a file is deleted. Since the function that does so also handles the warning prompt, I only want the hook to trigger when the warning text is up. This is what I have, but I got a crash saying it doesn't understand what e is. What am I missing?

-- hook.lua
local delete_profile_ref =  G.FUNCS.delete_profile
function G.FUNCS:delete_profile(e)
    local warning_text = e.UIBox:get_UIE_by_ID('warning_text');
    print("Pressed deleting profile button");
    local actually_deleting_profile = warning_text.config.colour == G.C.WHITE

    if actually_deleting_profile then
        print("Actually deleting profile")
    else
        print("File not being deleted yet")
    end
    local ret = delete_profile_ref(self, e)
    -- print("Doing something after the original code")
    return ret
end    

-- button_callbacks.lua
G.FUNCS.delete_profile = function(e)
  local warning_text = e.UIBox:get_UIE_by_ID('warning_text')
  if warning_text.config.colour ~= G.C.WHITE then 
-- warning text appears
  else
-- profile is deleted
    else
      local tab_but = G.OVERLAY_MENU:get_UIE_by_ID('tab_but_'..G.focused_profile)
      G.FUNCS.change_tab(tab_but)
    end
  end
end

[daring fern]

It's . not :

[median rose]

for the function call, or getting the warning text, or both?

[slim ferry]

for the function creation

because using : is equivalent to creating a function with self as the first argument

[median rose]

Can that be changed that on the vanilla wiki?

[slim ferry]

no

[tepid crow]

Card:add_to_deck should have the :

[slim ferry]

yeah

Card.add_to_deck does actually have self as the first argument

because it is a method

[median rose]

No as in it's correct, or no as in nobody can change it. I'm very confused

[slim ferry]

no as in its correct

[tepid crow]

it can be changed, but it's correct

[slim ferry]

it could be turned into Card.add_to_deck(self, from_debuff) but its effectively the same

so theres not really a reason to

[tepid crow]

you could ask them to add a comment or explanation, but you're also getting very into explaining Lua at that point

[median rose]

I'm getting the same nil error as before with this code. Unless you're saying I need to add self as a the first paramter as the function. Sorry, I'm still learning lua while trying to mod at the same time

local delete_profile_ref =  G.FUNCS.delete_profile
function G.FUNCS.delete_profile(e)
    local warning_text = e.UIBox:get_UIE_by_ID('warning_text');
    print("Pressed deleting profile button");
    local actually_deleting_profile = warning_text.config.colour == G.C.WHITE

    if actually_deleting_profile then
        print("Actually deleting profile")
    else
        print("File not being deleted yet")
    end
    local ret = delete_profile_ref(self, e)
    -- print("Doing something after the original code")
    return ret
end    

[tepid crow]

the self in delete_profile_ref(self, e) doesn't belong there

[slim ferry]

well the hook seems correct

how are you running the function

[tepid crow]

a function definition or call with : basically just means "define/call with the first argument being self"

[slim ferry]

are you using debugplus eval or actually pressing the button?

[median rose]

I am pressing the button

[slim ferry]

i see

oh yeah

the ref

[tall wharf]

what do people think about the reworked config UI

[tepid crow]

wtf are you guys on about

[slim ferry]

that shouldnt have the self either

[tepid crow]

.

[tall wharf]

also i can't do multibox here for some reason

[hardy viper]

info.., i love info,

[slim ferry]

im so informed

[hardy viper]

tis very cool

[cunning valley]

Any good way of playing a sound when a playing card is retriggered ? I'm going with context.repetition but it's only playing the sound once (when the repetitions starts i assume)

[slim ferry]

context.repetition happens only when the number of times to retrigger is calculated

so you would have to manually set a flag in context.individual on the card and then check if thats already there to see if its a retrigger

[cunning valley]

Makes sense, which of course is only once. What would be a possible context for the sound playing? if there even is one

[slim ferry]

and then reset it for all the cards after the hand

[cunning valley]

Dang, that sounds too complicated for a simple sound effect.

im in

Tho I am going to need a bit of a hand here, how does one set flags to individual cards?

[slim ferry]

cryptid does this https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptid/blob/91db14ee4de9a024f2cd9f36c344ad49c686b768/items/spooky.lua#L1502-L1516

you can just set a variable of whatever name in the cards ability table

[wintry solar]

Add sound = 'jsm_retrigger1' to your return table

[cunning valley]

I'll see if that works. If it doesn't then i'll try Eris' idea, thank you!

[wintry solar]

It should work

[cunning valley]

It only seems to play the sound once i play a hand, but not when the retriggers happen

[wintry solar]

Can you show the code?

[cunning valley]

Of like, the whole thing? The code i got rn is this

[wintry solar]

Of what you changed it to

[cunning valley]

Changed it to this! i removed the added event and just placed it in the return table

I tried adding the event in the return panel because I thought that would work, but it just crashed the game so I'm guessing it's not possible to do that

[wintry solar]

That’s not what I said though

[cunning valley]

Oh, what would it be like then?

[wintry solar]

This

[cunning valley]

OH

facepalm

lemme do that rq!!

[wintry solar]

If it doesn’t work I’d have to hop on my pc and check the code again, I am working from memory

[cunning valley]

I don't doubt that this works! But would I still be able to play a random sound? I want to play between 5 audio files i have

[wintry solar]

It’s a bit more complicated that I’d definitely need to check to make it random each time

[cunning valley]

It worked! Though it obviously isn't random since it's looking through a singular audio file

I'm gonna experiment a bit see if I can get it to be random, but if you're able to, i'd love to have you give me a hand there

[wintry solar]

It’d be putting in in a func = … instead

[wintry solar]

Can try moving this function into the return table instead, doesn’t need to return true if it’s not in an event

I don’t remember if it needs the event or not

[tall wharf]

what makes controller input hover show tooltip

[cunning valley]

I'll give this a try!

[cunning valley]

Unfortunately putting the function with the play_sound in the return table does the same thing as before and plays it only when calculating the retriggers, not when it actually retriggers

[zealous glen]

Yeah the sound key doesn’t play a sound

It replaces a scoring sound

Very unintuitive

[median rose]

So I had to change the function I attached the hook to bc delete_profile makes everything null, and calls load_profile. This code works how I want it to. However, I am now not getting the warning text when I press the reset profile button. It just does resets immeadlty. I'm not sure what I did considering this i all I have in src/hooks.lua I have already verified the files of the game

-- todo When the game loads, set games_played for all profiles to be 0 if it is nil
-- todo When the profile is deleted, set the games played to 0 for that profile
local load_profile_ref = G.FUNCS.load_profile
function G.FUNCS.delete_profile(delete_prof_data)
    local ret = load_profile_ref(delete_prof_data)
    if delete_prof_data then
        print("Actually deleting profile")
        print("Profile set is " .. G.SETTINGS.profile)
        G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].career_stats.games_played = 0;
        print("The amount of game played on this file is now ".. G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].career_stats.games_played)
    end
    return ret
end  
-- todo When the player starts a new game, increment games_played for that profile

[ripe oak]

Currently having the issue of where if I use a specific consumable during a blind, the game disallows me from doing anything after (can't play or discard, can't use other consumables, etc.), and if I reload back into the save I'm returned to before I used the consumable. Weird thing is it works perfectly fine when used from like a Booster Pack or something. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

or at least force it to give back my controls

[zealous glen]

Do you have an Event

[ripe oak]

it's an overlay menu

[zealous glen]

If it’s not an Event issue then Idk but I imagine you’re either not properly managing the player controls or the game state

[ripe oak]

gotta confess this is literally just the 'All in Jest' "select a card" ui function thing pasted onto a Spectral Card

and it works in every single other scenario except when used through a consumable during a blind

[zealous glen]

@gilded narwhal can you help

[wintry solar]

Put it inside an event in that function then

[ripe oak]

actually just came up with the dumbest "solution" imaginable, so it's fine. Just stopped it from pausing the game like every other instance of this mechanic does. For some reason the unpause step doesn't run in this one specific exact scenario. This definitely won't have repercussions later.

[cunning valley]

you can put events in return tables?

[wintry solar]

No, the function you put in the return table, put the event inside that

[cunning valley]

😮

GENIUS

[cunning valley]

Something like this then?

[wintry solar]

Sort of

[wintry solar]

Take all of this as your event

And put it inside the function

[cunning valley]

Soo... like this?

(I'm a tad confused so please excuse my attempts, if you want I can copy the code and you could move it around to show me how it would be)

[wintry solar]

Yeah paste the code and will arrange it for you

[cunning valley]

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
            func = function()
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    return {
                        play_sound("jsm_retrigger" .. (math.random(5)), nil, 0.40)
                        repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions, -- This gives the amount of retriggers the card holds
                        message = 'Again??',
                    }
                end,
            }))
        end ```

Here!

[wintry solar]

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
    return {
        repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions, -- This gives the amount of retriggers the card holds                        
        message = 'Again??',
        func = function()
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({                           
                play_sound("jsm_retrigger" .. (math.random(5)), nil, 0.40) 
                return true
            }))
        end,
    }
end ```

This is much appreciated! I'll update you on the results

it seems that career_stats is nil when this code is reached. Does anyone know a function I can hook this to, or a way to wait until it's no longer nil

istg if that is the problem

it was

i am going to crash out rn

[rapid stag]

is there a way i can set a custom game over death reason

[daring fern]

saved = 'reason'

[vale grove]

how do i make a joker change the language of the game while you own/buy it

[final jewel]

Why does it create over the limit

[vale grove]

add this on your creation

now im not entirely sure if thatll work

its what i do and it works for my guy

[final jewel]

it doesnt work

[rapid stag]

except i'm causing a game over, not a save from game over

G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER
G.STATE_COMPLETE = false

[faint yacht]

...what do you mean by "reason", exactly?

[final jewel]

It look like that now

[rapid stag]

the 'defeated by' message, i guess

[solid salmon]

hey guys

what if i wanted to make a stat called miracle rank

[faint yacht]

Ah, UI antics... see create_UIBox_game_over() for the UI table that's returned.

[solid salmon]

that affects all luck jokers

[vale grove]

does it work? mb cant read

[daring fern]

What do you mean a stat?

[final jewel]

no 😢

[vale grove]

what exactly does the for i = 1, self.config.extra.card, 1 do, do?

im not the best at this so maybe it makes sense

im just curios what it does here

This is how Cartomancer does it, you're missing a buffer check

            if self.ability.name == 'Cartomancer' and not (context.blueprint_card or self).getting_sliced and #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
                G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({

                        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                            func = function() 
                                local card = create_card('Tarot',G.consumeables, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'car')
                                card:add_to_deck()
                                G.consumeables:emplace(card)
                                G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
                                return true
                            end}))

like discards

or something

a global variable

oh yeah

and i meant all luck related things

[final jewel]

it supposed to make like thing when your playing with things that alternate value

[solid salmon]

(please help me im a victim of scope creep)

[vale grove]

so how do you apply that here?

ohh wait

i think i might know what you need

[final jewel]

can I use SMODS.add_card

[vale grove]

                if #G.consumeables.cards < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            SMODS.add_card { set = "Tarot" }
                            G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end

i use this

for my tarot added

G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1

i think youre missing this line

Yes, what I sent was mostly to show how the consumable check is done and to not forget to add the buffer

It doesnt crash, but it also doesnt trigger. The idea is to have a 1 in 2 chance of getting a Negative Sol card when using a Planet, but it isnt triggering, unless I am stupendously unlucky, and failed 7 coinflips in a row

And yes, that is really the key for Cryptid's Sol, I looked in the source code

Random story: I remember someone struggling with Riff-Raff creating Jokers with stickers on it not too long ago. Today I faced the same issue and found out it's because the should_apply from my stickers was not checking for the proper CardAreas where stickers should be allowed on the Joker. Vanilla stickers are allowed only on Jokers in the shop's and booster packs' CardAreas. Hope it helps that bro and anyone else not lose their sanity.
