[unkempt bronze]

Do I put this in a box or it is good by itself?

[daring fern]

No, it's not, that's the name.

[native bone]

Hold on, I'll check

You are right, the key is sunplanet

[solid salmon]

hey

can i use this to modify other cards of various types

[red flower]

modify what?

[solid salmon]

example

if i made it so it would change the mult and money of lucky cards

[red flower]

no

thats for modifying pools, no relation to that

you would use take ownership or patching

[solid salmon]

damn

[solid salmon]

so how do i do that

(also while im at it how do i give lucky cards more variables and change its text)

[copper perch]

<@&1133519078540185692>

thank ya :)

-# sorry for the double ping, was gonna bump something and then that happened

Bump, because I'm still stuck. Sorry I keep doing this, I'm just lost

[rapid stag]

how do i create additional cardareas?

[vale grove]

how do i make a voucher that decreases boosterpack price?

[native bone]

my freind, we are not ChatGPT

[vale grove]

iam aware

but i do not know how to make something that changes the price of booster packs

and mayhaps someone here does

[normal crest]

you don't seem to have bird_active or bird_inactive anywhere in your localization file

[daring fern]

Hook Card:set_cost

[vale grove]

thanks

[copper perch]

I copied from loyalty card in vanilla remade so I didnt think I had to

[normal crest]

no, you didn't just copy, you changed it

[copper perch]

I'm just gonna try copying it again to see what I did wrong

[normal crest]

bird_active and bird_inactive don't exist, the vanilla remade code has loyalty_active and loyalty_inactive

[copper perch]

so where would I specify those??

[normal crest]

in your localization file, under misc and v_dictionary

[native bone]

I've been trying to get this to work, but it just doesnt for some reason. I dont know why. It should give me a Sol, but it has never triggered.

[copper perch]

Would this be the format then?

return {
    misc = {
        v_dictionary = {
            
        }
    },
    descriptions = 
-- Everything else in localization I had

Just blank for now so I know I have the right idea

[normal crest]

Yep, that's correct

[copper perch]

okay, and what would I specify the bird_active and bird_inactive so it would have the description like Loyalty Card?

[normal crest]

do you want the message to be the same as loyalty card

[copper perch]

Pretty much, yes

[normal crest]

cus if so, don't make a new one, just use the loyalty_active and loyalty_inactive keys

[copper perch]

Oh, and it should work with the variable used before?

[normal crest]

it will work just like loyalty card

[copper perch]

Nevermind, works! Thanks :)

[split cairn]

you need c_modprefix_sunplanet to spawn the modded consumable

[native bone]

I will try that

It is still not triggering

[daring fern]

Yes, it's context.consumeable.config.center.key ~= 'c_cry_sunplanet'

[native bone]

Oh, that's what you meant

mb

[daring fern]

No, what I meant was the key for Sol was not cry-sunplanet, this is about the if

[native bone]

It is not, this is the current code

[split cairn]

you might need G.E_MANAGER:add_event

[daring fern]

No, an event is not required.

[native bone]

Yeah, I dunno why it should

[daring fern]

No, it's card.config.center.key not card.ability.key

[native bone]

That would help

It did, thank you

[daring fern]

Is it possible for hands, discards, dollars, chips and mult to be treated as the same value?

[native bone]

I mean, you could just make them all equal with something idk

My code works, just a little too well. I can still use a Sol card and get triggers from that.

[normal crest]

replace card.config.center.key with context.consumeable.config.center_key on the 2nd part of the condition

and I'd move the using_consumeable outside the parenthesis

[native bone]

Ah, that makes more sense now

It works, thanks

Also, I see that the Vanilla Remade wiki has something called quantum enhancements. What is that? Does that mean it is in some superposistion?

[wind steppe]

cards count as multiple enhancements as once and have all of those effects

take lucky 7 from extra credit

[native bone]

I see now

[wind steppe]

itll roll the lucky card chances for each card and scale lucky cat if it triggerss

[native bone]

got it, makes sense

How do I check if a card has an specific enhancement? I tested the methods on the Vanilla Remade Wiki and for some reason it didnt work.

[daring fern]

if SMODS.has_enhancement(card, 'm_modprefix_key')

[mystic river]

difficulty understanders, does this looks like a non-ridiculous alternate stake path?

0. White Stake
1. Scarlet Stake: Lose $0.5 per Ante past 2 when entering shop
2. Irrigo Stake: Level down third hand played each round
3. Void Stake: Jokers can have Counterfeit sticker (sell value locked to $0)
4. Sky Stake: Showdown Blinds appear twice as frequently
5. Mint Stake: -1 Chip and -1 Mult per ante for each card scored
6. Tungsten Stake: Selection limit 1 for first hand or discard each round
7. #CA7CA7 Stake: +1 Win Ante
8. Rose Gold Stake: Applies both #CA7CA7 Stake and Gold Stake

-# oh ffs discord, let me zero index my lists.

[wind steppe]

irrigo stake feels specifically like a fuck you to high card and pair

mint stake feels like that for five card hands

two pair on top 🔥

[jade scarab]

i wouldn't mind that as much but then mint stake says fuck you to every build other than pair and high card

[wind steppe]

also is there any benefit to extra selection limit on hands beyond scoring an additional card

[mystic river]

on the one hand i do want to balance vanilla's tendency toward spamming small hands
on the other, i'd prefer to do this by rewarding large hands

[frosty rampart]

counterfeit sticker is cool
i feel like sky stake's been done before but it's not really a bad thing
tungsten stake feels like it'd be better as a boss blind

[jade scarab]

i think tungsten sets the limit to 1

[wind steppe]

oh yeah right im stupid

[mystic river]

sky stake has definitely been done, it's a common suggestion for a rework of blue

[wind steppe]

tungsten does feel very boss blind like then

maybe 2 instead of 1

[jade scarab]

i think -1 mult and chips per unscored card would be a better idea

[wind steppe]

this does Very Little

[frosty rampart]

tbh mint stake feels boss blind-esque too

[wind steppe]

unless you have phanta ig

[jade scarab]

tbh yeah

at most it'd make it so pair builds can't access blue seals as often

[wind steppe]

isn't balatro in lua the 1 indexing language

[frosty rampart]

anyway in conclusion, i think overall you have some good ideas but mint and tungsten probably need to get reworked entirely

[umbral zodiac]

i think theyre all mostly fine in a vaccum but i think that also these might affect playing hands disproportionately too much

[wind steppe]

tungsten feels fine if it was 2 cards

[heady flume]

anyone know if this is revo's vault causing the crash?

[wind steppe]

mint is not great though

[wind steppe]

looks to be

[mystic river]

tungsten is meant to amount to "lose a hand or a discard but you get to decide which"
maybe a bit much, nobody likes blue stake after all

[wind steppe]

also Rose Gold is hell because irrigo + blue

and tungsten

[frosty rampart]

balance sure, but i don't think it feels like a stake
stakes have very passive effects in vanilla, making something directly affect scoring like mint or only apply for the first something for a round isn't that

[jade scarab]

does rose gold apply all of the default stakes

[mystic river]

rose gold is probably gonna be hell regardless
16 stakes worth of stake

[mystic river]

that's the idea, yes

[frosty rampart]

yes because gold applies orange, which applies purple, which applies blue, etc

[wind steppe]

what if it was rose gold steak instead and i ate it

[jade scarab]

that sounds horrible on every deck other than yellow

[mystic river]

🥩

[wind steppe]

i mean quite a couple of these stakes are like that

i think theyre not necessarily meant to be vanilla feeling stakes

if they are id suggest a couple reworks though

[frosty rampart]

yea fair

<@&1133519078540185692>

[karmic creek]

hello

[frosty rampart]

thanks mods 💖

[native bone]

I cant seem to get the Light cards to retrigger, they are the Cryptid Light cards. I dont know why this is happening, especially since I have made other retriggering Jokers that do the same thing.

[heady flume]

Im using chat gpt to help a bit, and im wondering if
"if context.joker_main then
return {
xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult * stickercheck() + 1,
}
end"
has to be changed in Revo's mod? Its saying that the call may of changed names or is handled differently.

[wind steppe]

pinned message

[daring fern]

It's context.other_card not card in SMODS.has_enhancement

[frosty rampart]

even the pinned message aside, chatgpt is not helpful

[wind steppe]

i dont think we can convince them of that

[native bone]

I tried that, you can preempt it with a question if it knows that it exists, which it actually does, then you ask it to code in Lua + the steammodded keys, and that is actually how I got a Joker to work.

TLDR: Yes, yes you can

[heady flume]

ok besides the fact i have no experience or help. can i get some help?

[wind steppe]

how much time did you waste over doing it normally

[frosty rampart]

we have no clue what you're trying to even do

[wind steppe]

i would report it to revo without your correction

standard procedure for when a mod that's not yours crashes

[frosty rampart]

you just gave us a potential answer without giving us the question you initially asked

[wind steppe]

yeah you're lucky i was around when your game crashed

[heady flume]

wow hostile environment. i just want to play my game. i reported it to Revo, and i just wanted some pointer if i could get it to work on my own.

[wind steppe]

then Don't Use AI

[heady flume]

i didnt know

[mystic river]

[wind steppe]

additionally always provide context

in this case the crash the line of code and wherever stickercheck is defined

or if it isnt say that

[copper perch]

Pinned things are always important, check those in every server and channel on Discord. Theres normally something is all I can say

How would I spawn in a vanilla joker with a modded joker? 1. I'm unsure how to spawn a joker from another, and 2. I know you can use j_prefix_key for modded, but vanilla I'm unsure

[native bone]

There's just no prefix. Like, if I wanted to spawn Reserved Parking, I would do j_reserved_parking

[copper perch]

Got it, thank you

[mystic river]

best way to find a vanilla joker's key is to search en-us.lua in the vanilla source

[copper perch]

Got it, and then how would I spawn a Joker into the Jokers lineup?

[native bone]

This is not working for some reason, I cant get it to retrigger the Cryptid Light Cards. Im going to look like I just had chemo from the amount of hair pulling that is happening

[daring fern]

Yes, it's context.other_card instead of card not SMODS

[native bone]

Did I not?

[daring fern]

Yes, you replaced SMODS instead of card

[vernal seal]

bump because i want to know,
what is the value that handle the if it's the fist most used joker,second most used joker,third most used joker and ecc...

[native bone]

I know that the has_enhancement does not exist for context.other_card, but I dont know any other solutions.

[daring fern]

No, you had it as SMODS.has_enhancement(card, ...) but then you changed it to context.other_card.has_enhancement(card, ...) instead of SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, ...)

[native bone]

Oh, okay, I get it now. I'll try that

It works, thank you

[split acorn]

hello, really simple question

when a joker is triggered in balatro, like when you have the heart joker and play a hear card, the joker does a little animation

how can i add that animation to my jokers?

[frosty rampart]

when a joker returns something in a calculate function, and that something has a message (either by default or by adding a message to the return manually), then it will have the animation
if you need the animation to happen outside of a return (e.g. you need it to animate multiple times), you can call SMODS.calculate_effect(card, {...}) where the curly braces are the same as what you'd return in a calculate function

[split acorn]

what message do i add to get the default shaking animation?

[frosty rampart]

doesn't matter, smods applies it

[rigid pebble]

literally this is the most ai hateful server i've ever seen

for good reason

I despise ai with a burning passion

[frosty rampart]

and if you're e.g. returning chips/mult/etc for scoring, then you don't even need to add a message at all

[split acorn]

you're being really helpful but i'm not sure i understand ;-;

[frosty rampart]

what is your goal

[rigid pebble]

it's something "Juice up" if i remember

[split acorn]

when a joker is trigged, i want to play the standard animation for jokers getting trigger (eg lusty joker when you play a heart card)

[frosty rampart]

you don't need to worry about it

just code your joker and forget about the animation

[split acorn]

i did

[frosty rampart]

it'll either happen naturally, or you just have to add message = "something" to the return table

("something" being the text that will display when it triggers)

[split acorn]

it's not happening naturally, can i add an empty message to get the animation?

cuz like the joker is currently staying still when its triggered, and i rly like the animation

[daring fern]

No, the card is the second input.

[frosty rampart]

if you explicitly don't want any text, then you should have this in your calculate function (not in the return statement, my bad. usually if you want the animation you also want some text with it)

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
  func = function()
    card:juice_up(0.8, 0.8)
    return true
  end
}))

you need the event for timing purposes, the shake itself is the juice_up call

[split acorn]

ohhh

cool

thanks :3

[heady flume]

idk, but im not discussing furthermore because its the rules

[rigid pebble]

seu pai ahh

[split saddle]

how do you check for played unscored cards?

[daring fern]

if context.cardarea == 'unscored'

[split saddle]

thanks

i'm still confused as to why i can't add reactions to anything :(

[daring fern]

You need a platform role.

[split saddle]

where?

[vernal seal]

....
how do you make that it gives the same amount of money as the fifth most used joker(the one in the middle)

[daring fern]

id:customize

[split saddle]

thanks

[daring fern]

You need to put all the entries in a number indexed table then sort them by count then get table[5]

[copper perch]

So I found how to create a Joker, but it just spawns it in on the screen...doesn't add it to my Jokers.

if math.random() < 1/15 then
        create_card("Joker", G.jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, "j_cavendish")
else
        create_card("Joker", G.jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, "j_gros_michel")
end

[daring fern]

No, it's SMODS.add_card

[copper perch]

oh, thanks

[vernal seal]

can you show me an example if you can?

[copper perch]

Like this??
SMODS.add_card {"j_cavendish"}

[daring fern]

No, SMODS.add_card({key = 'j_cavendish'})

[copper perch]

alrighty, thank you

[split saddle]

does it return a table with unscored cards, or do you check yourself?

i guess if you were to check urself, it would be full hand - scoring hand

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[split saddle]

look at all unscored cards and find a specific rank

[daring fern]

Iterate over context.full_hand and check if SMODS.in_scoring(card, context.scoring_hand)

[split saddle]

yeah that's what i thought

thanks 👍

[vernal seal]

an attempt...

[daring fern]

Tables are {} not []

[vernal seal]

how does it look like now?

[vernal seal]

now it gives this error

[vernal seal]

any response
i would lose motivation again to work on this if i don't find an answer to this problem...

[tepid crow]

I'm not helping if the code is formatted like that man

also it looks weirdly like python? 🤔

[split saddle]

ik i'm doing something wrong but idk what is it

(this snippet doesn't run)

[frosty rampart]

i don't think context.before has unscored as a cardarea

[tepid crow]

^ that'd be my guess too but you'll want to confirm that by printing

[frosty rampart]

i mean yea they have a print already

[split saddle]

print(context.before)?

[vernal seal]

do like it how it's formatted now?

[tepid crow]

More like if context.before then print(inspectDepth(context)) end but it's up to you how you want to print it

[daring fern]

Is this a joker?

You need to iterate over context.full_hand like I said.

[tepid crow]

At least it's readable now. Why are you trying to sort an already manually sorted table?

[vernal seal]

@tepid crow this why i done that

[tepid crow]

Ah

you should start with an empty table all_most_used_jokers = {}, then insert into it, then sort

like the example Something gave, though you'll probably need to insert every joker since you're looking for the 5th biggest 🤔

[split saddle]

so like this?

i missed a negation but yeah

[vernal seal]

like this isn't it?

[tepid crow]

First insert, then sort. You're sorting, and not inserting

(the used_cards[#used_cards + 1] = ... in something's code is the insertion part)

[daring fern]

Yes.

[vernal seal]

now?

[tepid crow]

Insert in the for loop. Otherwise k and v don't mean anything

instead of the temp_count, that's not gonna help you here unfortunately

[vernal seal]

and what should i replace it instead?

[tepid crow]

with the insertion

[vernal seal]

this?

[tepid crow]

No, within the if statement

[vernal seal]

this

[vernal seal]

or this?

[tepid crow]

First one

[vernal seal]

ok

[tepid crow]

But change it to +1 instead of +5 (we're simply appending/adding to the end of the table, +5 wouldn't really mean anything)

And move to sorting so that it's below the for loop insertion

And remove the v.count > all_most_used_jokers comparison since that doesn't mean anything

[vernal seal]

like?

[tepid crow]

Sort after the entire for loop. Don't sort in the for loop. It would technically work, but you're wasting a lot of compute

[jade scarab]

is it common to set parameters like blueprint compatibility and sticker compatibility if they're going to be default anyways

[tepid crow]

it's usually skipped if they're default afaik

[jade scarab]

ic

[vernal seal]

finaly like this?

[tepid crow]

yeah that's pretty good

but you're returning the whole (sorted) table now, you wanted a specific one right

[vernal seal]

yes one specific one, the 5th one

[tepid crow]

you know how to get that one?

[vernal seal]

what is it, like this?

[tepid crow]

👍

now what do you want with the 5th most used joker? give money for the amount of times it's been used? how much the 5th used joker costs?

[vernal seal]

give money for the amount of times it's been used

[tepid crow]

okay

[tepid crow]

now you're returning the 5th most used entry, which for example looks like {count = 4, key = "j_card_sharp"}

so how do you return the amount of times it's been used?

[vernal seal]

it should just get this number below the this joker:

[vernal seal]

and then give the amount of money the same as the number below the joker

[tepid crow]

I understand. I'm asking you if you know how to get it from the table entry

[vernal seal]

well uh then, no, i don't know

[tepid crow]

you don't know how to index a table in lua?

[jade scarab]

anyone know what happened here

oh i see what happened

[vernal seal]

also this crash occur when i try it ingame

[tepid crow]

I have no idea what your code currently looks like

[tepid crow]

Nice job on the dollars =. But you're still just returning the entry of the 5th most used joker, not the amount of times the joker has been used

Do you understand what I mean when I say "entry"?

[vernal seal]

yes, the joker that is in the 5th position or the joker key

[tepid crow]

But do you know what that entry actually looks like in code?

[jade scarab]

this is what i get for being too lazy to fully read documentation

[vernal seal]

like this?

[tepid crow]

Close! More like {count = 12, key = "j_why_do_i_exist"}

so do you know how to get the count out of the table?

[vernal seal]

this is not probably it

[tepid crow]

No. Check out https://www.lua.org/pil/2.5.html for examples on how to read and write to tables

[jade scarab]

i forgot to run the folder loader on the localization files

[vernal seal]

does,now,this,work,?

[tepid crow]

it should 👍

[vernal seal]

do you that am asking all of this
because am adding global stats gamevars to joke forge?
did you know?

[tepid crow]

I did not

[vernal seal]

alright i can go to rest now,bye and thank you

[charred widget]

Hi friends. I've managed to get an xmult joker working by myself, but the xmult value in the description just says Xnil. Can someone take a peek in my code and try and help me find what I missed?

Also it might look like spaghetticode but hey

[daring fern]

You don't have loc_vars

[charred widget]

oh duh

thank you as always, somethingcom515.

[copper perch]

Making a Joker that calculates the number of Gros Michels and Cavendishes being held in hand and some math seems to be going wrong. Any pointers what I could do?

if context.joker_main then
  card.ability.xmult = card.ability.xmult + ( #SMODS.find_card("j_gros_michel") + #SMODS.find_card("j_cavendish") ) * card.ability.xmult_gain

[jade scarab]

check baseball card's code in vanillaremade's repo

[red flower]

what's wrong with it

[copper perch]

When I had only 3 Michels it was at x2.5 I believe, my xmult_gain was 0.25x

[red flower]

and you want it to give 1.75?

[copper perch]

correct

I think I figured out it was possibly because the variables were not marked as extra

[vale zinc]

Where and how in Balatro's code is G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].career_stats.c_single_hand_round_streak incremented?

[red flower]

if context.joker_main then
return {
         xmult = 1 + ( #SMODS.find_card("j_gros_michel") + #SMODS.find_card("j_cavendish") ) * card.ability.xmult_gain
}
end

what about this

[vale zinc]

I ran a recursive file-searcher program and it said it only appeared in game.lua, functions/common_events.lua and functions/state_events.lua. But nothing in those files told me how it went down.

[red flower]

what do you need to know that's not there

[vale zinc]

How the game knows when to increment it.

[red flower]

that's the inc_career_stat part

it literally checks if there's only 1 hand played

[vale zinc]

Understood.

[unkempt bronze]

Hmm. Anyone know where a list of G.FUNCS. is?

[copper perch]

Forgot to mention but this code does not update live for some reason? I looked at my other jokers and confused why that is

[copper perch]

I feel my card is a bit unorganized...also trying to figure out why the xmult isn't working properly (does not update live or calculate properly), where the place to return my xmult is, and how to have the messages for when a joker is added pop up sooner (normally wouldn't send everything, but this time its all important)

config = {
    extra = {
        xmult_gain = 0.5,
        xmult = 1,
        every = 1,
        cooking_process = 1
    }
},
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
         return {
                vars = {
                       card.ability.extra.xmult_gain,
               card.ability.extra.xmult,
                       card.ability.extra.every + 1,
                       localize { type = 'variable', key = (card.ability.extra.cooking_process == 0 and 'loyalty_active' or 'loyalty_inactive'), vars = { card.ability.extra.cooking_process } }
            }
        }
    end,
        calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + ( #SMODS.find_card("j_gros_michel") + #SMODS.find_card("j_cavendish") * card.ability.extra.xmult_gain )
            card.ability.extra.cooking_process = (card.ability.extra.every - 1 - (G.GAME.hands_played - card.ability.hands_played_at_create)) %
                (card.ability.extra.every + 1)
            
            if not context.blueprint then
                if card.ability.extra.cooking_process == 0 then
                    local eval = function(card) return card.ability.extra.cooking_process == 0 and not G.RESET_JIGGLES end
                    juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
                end
            end
            if card.ability.extra.cooking_process == card.ability.extra.every and #G.jokers.cards <= G.jokers.config.card_limit and not context.blueprint then
                if math.random() < 1/15 then
                    SMODS.add_card ( {key = "j_cavendish" } )
                    return {
                        message = 'Potassium.', colour = G.C.YELLOW
                    }
                else

[cerulean rose]

doesnt't look like your calculate ever returns anything

[final goblet]

hiiiiii gang...

anyone know how to do the hyperop thing

i need it for my mod (fallout)

also gimme 1s

[copper perch]

it doesn't??? I had to remove the ends at the end so all that could fit so that may have something to do with it

[cerulean rose]

sorry im really stupid sometimes please ignore my previous statement

[copper perch]

All good :)

[cerulean rose]

requires https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1241172556849876993

[final goblet]

i KNOW lol

thats what im using!!!

[copper perch]

So something I'm confused about...how 2 version of my code word work. 1 works correctly and 1 doesn't, and I do not understand why.

-- Works (goes up by 0.1 per card destroyed)
if context.remove_playing_cards and not context.blueprint then
      if destroyed_cards > 0 then
            card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + destroyed_cards * card.ability.extra.xmult_gain

-- Doesn't Work (goes up by 1 per Cavendish/Gros Michel when wanted 0.5 and triggers consistantly, always going up even when one doesn't spawn)
if context.joker_main then
      card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + ( #SMODS.find_card("j_gros_michel") + #SMODS.find_card("j_cavendish") * card.ability.extra.xmult_gain )

[woeful basin]

Something weird just broke, I'm getting a love2d traceback instead of the balatro traceback and despite saying it's disabling my mods restarting doesn't fix it.

I'm not sure what caused it but disabling all my mods, starting the game then restarting it with all my mods reenabled fixed it

[mystic river]

order of operations
it's multiplying cavendish by gain-per-banana, then adding gros michel

[queen crescent]

multiplication will always go before addition

×, ÷, +, - is the order

[copper perch]

when I had xmult_gain outside the parenthesis it still didn't function correctly

[queen crescent]

you may want to add a bracket

[copper perch]

Okay, so I got it to work, goes up as it needs to. My issue now is that it just continuously goes up by 0.5 when theres a Michel/Cavendish when I want it to only once per

[slim ferry]

for the return values its
eemult/eechips = ^^
eeemult/eeechips = ^^^
hypermult/hyperchips = returned as a table of two values where {x, y} represents {x}y

[final goblet]

ight

unsure why JokerDisplay is using it then

[violet void]

another question, if I have a new enhancement that can shatter like glass does, is there a simple way to implement it other than lovely patching every instance where 'Glass Card' is checked?

[wintry solar]

Add shatters = true to the definition

[red flower]

it's a bit more visible imo

i also use different colors from the descriptions for other things

[long sun]

ah i see :3

[lavish elm]

why does this happen

for i=#cardtable, 1, -1 do
local card = cardtable[i]
if card:get_id() ~= random_rank or not card:is_suit(random_suit) then
    card:remove()
else

    local copied_card = copy_card(card, nil, nil, nil,nil)
    copied_card:start_materialize()
    copied_card:add_to_deck()
    G.deck:emplace(copied_card)
end

[quick scarab]

Question, how do I make this option toggled on by default?

FNAF = SMODS.current_mod
FNAF.save_config = function(self)
    SMODS.save_mod_config(self)
end

local config = SMODS.current_mod.config
SMODS.current_mod.config_tab = function()

    local voice_toggle = create_toggle({
        label = localize('fnaf_va'),
        ref_table = FNAF.config,
        ref_value = 'voices', -- what var does this button match
        callback = function()
            FNAF:save_config()
        end
    })

    return {
        n = G.UIT.ROOT, 
        config = {
            r = 0.15 , 
            minw = 8 , 
            minh = 6 , 
            align = "cm", 
            padding = 0.1 , 
            colour = G.C.BLACK  -- this will define the background of the menu
        }, 
        nodes = {
            voice_toggle, -- the option itself
        }
    }

end

return {
    voices = true,
}

also while I'm at it, how do I use this config on the mod itself, I have voicelines that play if a card is triggred but I dont know how I disable them

like what kind of var or function that I call to check if this setting is on or off?

[red flower]

this should make it on by default but your config was probably saved already

[red flower]

FNAF.config.voices

[quick scarab]

if FNAF.config.voices = true correct?

[red flower]

it would be if FNAF.config.voices then

[quick scarab]

right thanks

also damn you need to at least link the stuff about the UI Guide on the SMODS section on the VanillaRemade Wiki so people at the very least have a ideia how where to start, while you still make a tutorial about a config page

[lavish elm]

bump

[red flower]

i think people should read the smods docs first

[charred widget]

Hi friends! I've come to you with a bit of an ambitious idea today

So you know how Oops! All 6s doubles listed probabilities

Well I want a joker that doubles listed chip / mult values

which I don't know how to do

[elder rune]

I did this but with mult only actually

[shell timber]

oops all 6s can double probabilities since the entire game is built around being able to do that

[elder rune]

lemme find that

[shell timber]

doubling chips and mult will be much harder

[charred widget]

thats what i expect

[ionic cobalt]

atleast listed chips and mult because you would somehow have to differentiate them from regular values

just doubling the effects would be easier

[elder rune]

This is what I did (mult only rn)

[shell timber]

That's horrible

[elder rune]

ik

[ionic cobalt]

its ok i will name my variables horribly so it breaks

card.ability.extra.markiplier

[elder rune]

Doesn't work for a lot of vanilla jokers but idk how else to do that back then

[slim ferry]

there is definitely a way to do the chips and mult values thing though, just not visually

[charred widget]

i can go for that

mods

immolate his balls

[elder rune]

mods

twist his head

thanks mods

[charred widget]

thank you mods :3

[slim ferry]

manipulate_ret = function(table, mod) -- multiplies values in a table by `mod`. plug context.other_ret.jokers into `table` in context.post_trigger
    for k, v in pairs(table) do
        if type(table[k]) == "number" and (k == "mult" or k == "chips" or k == "chip_mod" or k == "mult_mod" or k == "h_chips" or k == "h_mult") then --this is only +mult/chips, but you can expand this to allow other calculation keys
            table[k] = table[k] * mod
        elseif type(v) == "table" and not v.area and not v.config then
            manipulate_ret(v, mod)
        end
    end
end
``` modified function from my own mod, this should work

[daring fern]

No, you're missing h_chips and h_mult

[slim ferry]

ah right

[charred widget]

something i forgot to mention

the joker increasing chips and the joker increasing mult are seperate

[elder rune]

why?

[charred widget]

Because they're part of a pair

it's Groudon and Kyogre

[elder rune]

so theyre 20

[charred widget]

AGAIN?

[elder rune]

twist his balls

[red flower]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[charred widget]

mods

[slim ferry]

i mean then you can make two functions, just copy the one i gave and change the calculation keys it allows (handy image with all calculation keys for reference)

[charred widget]

thank you mods

[tepid crow]

mods would it be interesting to automatically check the URLs of the images posted?

[slim ferry]

theyre just webp attachments as seen at the top of the messages

[tepid crow]

No they're a URL

[slim ferry]

so probably not very

oh ok

but its image1.webp, image2.webp etc

that doesnt sound extremely interesting

[elder rune]

fire names

wheres image.png

[tepid crow]

well they're not linked to discord.com/images/image1.webp, but rather discord.com/images/dkfajsladfjasklfjd134.webp or whatever

again, I have no idea if that's something the mods can even check

but if it's possible then it would be very helpful

[slim ferry]

i mean the best you could do is report whatever website they link to in some places

[elder rune]

automod specifically for those images

[tepid crow]

^ yeah, this

[slim ferry]

theres more than 1 set

[charred widget]

alright, can you break down exactly what this function is doing?

[slim ferry]

they always have some slightly different images

[tepid crow]

oh really? from every quick glance I've had at them they've always looked exactly the same

[slim ferry]

it loops over all of the values in a table (in this use case context.other_ret.jokers which is the calculation result of the context.post_trigger joker). if it encounters a number, it checks if it has one of the keys that should be modifies it, and does so if true (table[k] is used instead of v because v is not tied to the value in the table directly). if it encounters a table, e.g. the extra table that can be returned in jokers, it'll check if the table is not a card (this prevents infinite loops and unintended effects), and if it isnt, calls the function itself again on that table, allowing it to recursively go through any number of subtables

[charred widget]

cool stuff. Which part of the function modifies the values? for example, groudon is supposed to multiply mult values by 1.5, so what should I change in the function for the intended effect?

[elder rune]

mod

[slim ferry]

yeah the mod value determines what to multiply by

so you would put in 1.5 as the second argument to multiply by 1.5

[charred widget]

and would this function apply to all mult values?

or do I need to put in more calculation keys?

[elder rune]

talisman adds more calculation keys right

[slim ferry]

the one i gave applies to all +chips and +mult, but you can modify what values get modified by changing the long string of k == "mult" or k == "chips" or ... to check other values. image has all of the calculation keys that can be used so use that as a reference

[elder rune]

so it'd also be the emult, eemult etc. if you want this to be compatible with as much as possible

[slim ferry]

i mean talisman adds like 16 new keys

which is. a lot

[elder rune]

or also just check for mult or chips like Eris said

[slim ferry]

you could also check string.find(k, "mult") as a more automated approach, which will just affect anything with a key containing mult

[charred widget]

that seems more efficient

because i'm looking to modify flat mult and xmult values

[elder rune]

yeah it is but some stuff can slip by but there aint much you could do about that

[charred widget]

true i suppose

[slim ferry]

i mean i cant think of any mod that adds calculation keys containing mult that dont affect mult

[elder rune]

I will addd a calculation key that contains mult that doesnt affect mult so there exists one

[slim ferry]

and its also better than adding 8 extra checks because talisman adds a fuckillion calculation keys

well its like 6 because hypermult and hypermult_mod are tables ig

actually hold on

ill make a bit better version of the function because it forgets one thing currently

which was really funny when i accidentally did it

[plain apex]

i got it yippee

[slim ferry]

manipulate_ret = function(table, mod) -- multiplies values in a table by `mod`. plug context.other_ret.jokers into `table` in context.post_trigger
    for k, v in pairs(table) do
        if type(table[k]) == "number" and type(k) == "string" and k ~= 1 and string.find(k, "mult") then --can be changed to `chip` for chips
            table[k] = table[k] * mod
        elseif type(v) == "table" and not v.area and not v.config and k ~= "colour" then
            manipulate_ret(v, mod)
        end
    end
end

[elder rune]

what has 1 done bro

[slim ferry]

hypermult and hyperchips hyperoperators are at index

1

wait

[charred widget]

1 is in the Crime Box for their transgressions

[elder rune]

someone bailed out 1 just for them to get captured and put into another jail

[plain apex]

thoughts on this chat?

[slim ferry]

if you didnt blacklist 1 it would affect the hyperoperator in hypermult and hyperchips

[elder rune]

Wouldn't that be op with like hot potato

[plain apex]

idk i haven't played hot potato

[elder rune]

it has tabs in the shop with different songs

[slim ferry]

ig the k ~= 1 isnt really changing anything here since it already checks if k is a string

[plain apex]

let me get hot potato and see what happens lol

[charred widget]

well as long as it's not breaking anything I won't remove it

well i'll see how it goes and i'll report back with my findings

not working

[elder rune]

show code

[elder rune]

is it an error or just doesnt work

[charred widget]

no error

[slim ferry]

you need to create the function outside the joker

[charred widget]

o

[slim ferry]

to use in calculate

[charred widget]

so where would i put it?

sorry im a little confused

[slim ferry]

since its just a utility function you could probably just put it in the main file

for how to use it check my joker that uses a similar function https://github.com/borb43/Hypernova/blob/92f0d54ed1ec7f316b1ab476730e42c851ec7b6d/items/misc_joker.lua#L33-L36

its relatively simple

[clever wasp]

how can i get the cryplib instaled on my pc?

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptlib/releases/tag/v1.1.2

[clever wasp]

can i just download this, extract and put on my mod files?

[slim ferry]

yes

[plain apex]

yeah that could be an issue

[charred widget]

ok

problem

so we have Groudon modifying mult values by 1.5x

I also have Primal Groudon in my mod

and you can transform groudon mid run

and I want it to do the same to a larger degree

like 2 or 3x

how would I differentiate the functions for them to use?

[slim ferry]

well you can just use the same function but put in a different number than 1.5

[charred widget]

but there will be multiple of the same function in main.lua

how will we differentiate them?

[slim ferry]

no like

[elder rune]

the mod

[slim ferry]

the joker uses the function and puts in a number to multiply by

so you can just put in another value

[charred widget]

oh

so i've implemented the manipulate_ret function into main.lua

how can i get Groudon to retrieve this information?

[slim ferry]

if context.post_trigger and not context.blueprint then
    local other_ret = context.other_ret.jokers or {}
    manipulate_ret(other_ret, 1.5)
end
``` this should work on any joker

you also might want to rename the function to something else since it only affects mult

and youre going to have one affecting chips too presumably

[charred widget]

yes indeedy

[slim ferry]

1.5 here can be replaced by any number to multiply by

[charred widget]

so I can change manipulate_ret to something like "maniupulate_mult"?

[slim ferry]

yeah

just be sure to also change it at the part where the function calls itself

[slim ferry]

also its generally a good practice to add your mod prefix to globals you create or put them in a table for your mod

so theres less chance of interfering with other stuff

[charred widget]

something like manipulate_mult_esz

[slim ferry]

yeah

[charred widget]

to distinguish it

and now in order to recall this information using groudon, i just use a calculate = function, right?

[slim ferry]

yeah

[charred widget]

brilliant

[slim ferry]

this little bit of code should work

[charred widget]

yeah i got that

i'll see how it goes

[slim ferry]

also actually i probably shouldve said this earlier but context.post_trigger does not calculate for playing cards as of now, so stuff like mult cards will be unaffected

[wintry solar]

"as of now"

implying it ever will

[slim ferry]

well idk if it will

and it would be pretty nice to have that because of the small use case of manipulating return values

[charred widget]

ok

not working

no error

just non functional

[slim ferry]

what are you testing with

[charred widget]

abstract joker

just flat mult

[slim ferry]

i know some jokers have their messages hardcoded to always say the same value

[elder rune]

are you sure its flat mult

[charred widget]

it should be flat mult

that's what it advertises

[slim ferry]

im pretty sure scholar does properly display the mult changes

[charred widget]

ok so i only have abstract and groudon

but it's only giving me +6 mult

when it should be giving me +9 mult

[slim ferry]

is the mult counter also only going up by 6

[charred widget]

abstract joker gains mult based on the jokers you own

[slim ferry]

yeah

but like

on the left of the screen

[frosty rampart]

watch the actual mult UI on the left of the screen and not just the message that abstract joker gives you

[slim ferry]

does playing a high card end up with 7 mult or 10 mult

[charred widget]

7 mult

[slim ferry]

hm...........................

try replacing string.find(k, "mult") in the function with string.find(k:lower(), mult) and see if that changes anything

idk if it will but maybe

or maybe just try some other jokers because maybe abstract is just wierd

i know stone joker either doesnt work or doesnt display properly with this either

[plain apex]

easy fix atleast

[charred widget]

tried it with new code

also tried it with droll joker

still not working

[slim ferry]

actually wait

check your main file

is post_trigger enabled

for reference https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#what-are-optional-features

[charred widget]

there is only one mention of post_trigger in the entire main file

so i dont believe so

[slim ferry]

you should have an SMODS.current_mod.optional_features somewhere in the main file

if its enabled

[charred widget]

ok ill brb

[wild berry]

how can i check if a card that is being scored is debuffed

[daring fern]

You can't, because debuffed cards don't score.

[wild berry]

oh

[wintry solar]

you can make them score if you need to

[wild berry]

i dont need to

how can i check if a card is scored in G.play.cards

[wintry solar]

where are you trying to do this?

[wild berry]

through a joker

context.joker_main

[wintry solar]

do SMODS.in_scoring(G.play.cards[X], context.scoring_hand)

[wild berry]

kthanks

[wintry solar]

though you can also just look at the cards in context.scoring_hand

[wild berry]

do debuffed cards also appear therte

there*

[umbral spire]

how do you use the default game sprites/atlases

say for a blind

[hardy viper]

smods just has a function for everything now huh

[wild berry]

next update we will have SMODS.generate_mod()

[charred widget]

where in the main file do i put the optional features?

[slim ferry]

anywhere

it works as long as it runs

[shell timber]

SMODS.calculate_joker_effect("+4 Mult") coming 2026 real

[umbral spire]

it already has, trust

[slim ferry]

SMODS.pinkprint_effect when

[hardy viper]

seu pai wannabes

[umbral spire]

?

[wintry solar]

8 month old function btw 🙃

[charred widget]

ok i put it in

still not functioning

[slim ferry]

what does the code look like

for optional features

[slim ferry]

alr

you should probably remove all the things other than post_trigger but other than that it seems to be correct

[charred widget]

true

[slim ferry]

what does the code for groudon look like

[slim ferry]

hm

[umbral spire]

bro

[slim ferry]

what does the function look like

[slim ferry]

prefix_config = { atlas = false } and then just use a vanilla atlas key

iirc

[red flower]

if you want to use the default atlas for the same type of object you're making then you can just omit an atlas

[slim ferry]

no like the manipulate function

[charred widget]

oh

[slim ferry]

mult should be a string

[charred widget]

ah

[slim ferry]

that should solve it at least though

[charred widget]

ok its actually working now

[wintry solar]

you should probably change the mult in that function to be a value you pass into the function so you can reuse it for chips rather than creating an almost identical one

[slim ferry]

thats a good point

[charred widget]

yeah that was what i was worried about

[slim ferry]

just add like a third argument and put that into string.find in place of "mult"

[charred widget]

i didnt want to have to make a bunch of different manip functions

then again it would only be two different functions, one for chips and one for mult

the math is just different between base and primal forms

and they do that by themselves

[violet void]

How can I have the enhancement play during the card turn and not before everything?

[slim ferry]

use context.main_scoring instead of before

[quick scarab]

Ok so the backgound is black for some reason

G.C.BGCOLOUR1 = G.C.YELLOW
G.C.BGCOLOUR2 = G.C.PINK

local game_main_menu_ref = Game.main_menu
function Game:main_menu(change_context)
    local ret = game_main_menu_ref(self, change_context)

    G.SPLASH_BACK:define_draw_steps({
        shader = "splash",
        send = {
            {name = 'time', ref_table = G.TIMERS, ref_value = 'REAL'},
            {name = 'vort_speed', val = 0.4},
            {name = 'colour_1', ref_table = G.C, ref_value = 'BGCOLOUR1'},
            {name = 'colour_2', ref_table = G.C, ref_value = 'BGCOLOUR2'},
        },
    })

    return ret
end

[slim ferry]

G.C.PINK does not exist

unless you defined it

[quick scarab]

oh yeah I forgot

[charred widget]

Hi folks, back again

So the Fool creates the last used Tarot/planet yeah

How would I go about creating the last used consumable

[civic solstice]

i assume this setup for my joker here would allow the promt to work right

[red flower]

https://discord.gg/eRBByq9AZX

[copper perch]

Making a joker that calculates the number of Gros Michels/Cavendishes. At the moment, when one banana is there it adds my xmult_gain as mult every hand scored. I'd want the number to update in real time (like Swashbuckler for example), and need it to detect when one is sold or goes extinct.

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + ( #SMODS.find_card("j_gros_michel") + #SMODS.find_card("j_cavendish") ) * card.ability.extra.xmult_gain
            if card.ability.extra.xmult > 1  then
                return {
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }
            end

[jolly shadow]

just remove this

then it wont scale, will just update to the amt of banana

[red flower]

did the code i suggested not work

[copper perch]

1 + did the same thing

[red flower]

what same thing

[copper perch]

It seems to count a joker again and again every time a hand is scored

[red flower]

you don't need to update card.ability.extra.xmult

if you need the number for the description recalculate it in loc_vars

check how vanillaremade jokers do it

[copper perch]

Got it, the card does have a few other issues though

But thats 1 of 3 at least

Those issues being below.
Issue 1 is when 1 banana spawns it stops making them all together, even when only 2 Joker slots are taken up (1 by the original Joker). 'Issue' 2 is that I want the messages to appear sooner, so when the banana spawns it says the message and not when scoring

            if card.ability.extra.cooking_process == card.ability.extra.every and #G.jokers.cards < G.jokers.config.card_limit and not context.blueprint then
                if math.random() < 1/15 then
                    SMODS.add_card ( {key = "j_cavendish" } )
                    return {
                        message = 'Potassium.', colour = G.C.YELLOW
                    }
                else
                    SMODS.add_card ( {key = "j_gros_michel" } )
                    return {
                        message = 'Order up!', colour = G.C.YELLOW
                    }

[red flower]

when does it make the jokers? you should probably also check the joker_buffer if you're making cards during scoring

for issue 2 you should put add_card in an event

[copper perch]

The jokers are made immediately after every = 0, so the banana would score for the hand its made

[red flower]

sorry I don't get it

oh also I just noticed. don't use math.random()

use SMODS.pseudorandom_probability

[civic solstice]

okay i bugfixed the code a bit now how would i add mult to a card if a condition is true

[copper perch]

Forgot the every wasn't shown...so here's just the whole calculate as it is now. Also meant when cooking_process is 0 so thats my bad

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            card.ability.extra.cooking_process = (card.ability.extra.every - 1 - (G.GAME.hands_played - card.ability.hands_played_at_create)) % (card.ability.extra.every + 1)
            card.ability.extra.xmult = 1 + ( #SMODS.find_card("j_gros_michel") + #SMODS.find_card("j_cavendish") ) * card.ability.extra.xmult_gain
            if card.ability.extra.xmult > 1  then
                return {
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }
            end
            if not context.blueprint then
                if card.ability.extra.cooking_process == 0 then
                    local eval = function(card) return card.ability.extra.cooking_process == 0 and not G.RESET_JIGGLES end
                    juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
                end
            end
            if card.ability.extra.cooking_process == card.ability.extra.every and #G.jokers.cards < G.jokers.config.card_limit and not context.blueprint then
                if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability < 1/15 then
                    SMODS.add_card ( {key = "j_cavendish" } )
                    return {
                        message = 'Potassium.', colour = G.C.YELLOW
                    }
                else
                    SMODS.add_card ( {key = "j_gros_michel" } )
                    return {
                        message = 'Order up!', colour = G.C.YELLOW
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end

[red flower]

I assume joker forge has a way to do that but in code:
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions#step-2-logiceffects

[copper perch]

Also, updated. Just dont know what I'd put in place of the "Dina"s I have (thats my card's key)

            if card.ability.extra.cooking_process == card.ability.extra.every and #G.jokers.cards < G.jokers.config.card_limit and not context.blueprint then
                if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "Dina", 1, card.ability.odds, "Dina") then
                    SMODS.add_card ( {key = "j_cavendish" } )
                    return {
                        message = 'Potassium.', colour = G.C.YELLOW
                    }
                else
                    SMODS.add_card ( {key = "j_gros_michel" } )
                    return {
                        message = 'Order up!', colour = G.C.YELLOW
                    }

[red flower]

thats fine, i would recommend adding your mod's prefix to it too

[long sun]

my Joker is triggering on repetitions and at the end of the round, when it shouldn't be. what have i done wrong, and how can i fix it?

do i just add context.individual?

[red flower]

yes

and not context.end_of_round

[long sun]

awesome ^u^ thanks!

[slim ferry]

also needs a context.individual so it doesnt trigger in repetition checks

[copper perch]

Bump. Just a few issues including xmult not updating right away when a Michel/Cavendish is added and only 1 banana being able to be spawned before spawning stops working. Also stops shaking when active when it spawns 1 joker if that helps with anything

[vale zinc]

context.full_hand returns all the cards in played hand. How do I get the cards in hand that have merely scored?

[daring fern]

context.scoring_hand

[long sun]

does JokerDisplay currently support retriggering unscored cards?

or, unscored cards in general?

okay i can detect unscored cards pretty easily, but evaluating retriggers is the problem right now

[red flower]

card retriggers are calculate manually using JokerDisplay.calculate_card_triggers

[long sun]

ah, i see

so, would i create a retrigger_function on The Apparition, and return depending on if the playing card is present in the scoring hand?

[red flower]

yes

[long sun]

grand ^^ thanks

wait problem

looking at the code for Sock and Buskin's definition, it doesn't check if playing_card scores, meaning one of two things

either Sock and Buskin is assumed to retrigger all played cards, regardless of scoring

or retrigger functions only get asked how many times they retrigger scored or held in hand cards

both are a wee bit problematic ^^;

or maybe this is a false dichotomy and everything's fine

[red flower]

it does

[long sun]

ah ^^;

das ist ein problem

but, one that isn't mine :}

[red flower]

i can change it probably

[long sun]

i'd be grateful :D

tytyty

[red flower]

done

[long sun]

yay! thanks :D will pull that now

[native bone]

How do I add a sticker to a Joker? Like Eternal, for instance?

[red flower]

joker:add_sticker("eternal", true)

[native bone]

Oops, what I meant to ask was how do I add a sticker to a playing card?

[red flower]

the same way but you will have to implement the functionality yourself afaik

[long sun]

looks good ^^

[native bone]

Alrighty then

[long sun]

hoho! got it working :D

[native bone]

I figured out a method to give playing cards Eternal, at least

It's this

Yoinked from Entropy

[daring fern]

No, it's card:add_sticker('eternal', true)

[sharp arch]

    key = 'fisherman',
  atlas = 'thehoooo',
  pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
  rarity = 'jabong_Max',
  blueprint_compat = true,
  cost = 10,
  discovered = true,
  loc_txt = {
    name = "Fisherman",
    text = {
        "{C:attention}On blind Selection:{}",
        "Go fish. {C:deactivated}({}{C:green}#1# in #1#{}{C:deactivated} chance of a catch{})"
    },
  },
  config = { extra = { odds = 2, creates = 1}, },
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'jabong_fisherman')
    return { vars = { numerator, denominator, card.ability.extra.creates } }
  end,
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.setting_blind and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'jabong_fisherman', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
    SMODS.add_card {
              set = "jabong_fish",
               edition = 'e_negative' 
         }
        return {
                message = "caught!",
                colour = G.C.BLUE,
            }
    else
        return{
            play_sound('jabong_womp'),
            message = "Nope!",
            colour = G.C.TAROT,
        }
        
    end
  end
}``` do yall have any idea why this is acting passivley (infinitley looping every tick) in the blind select screen

[daring fern]

You need a context check on the else

[sharp arch]

ah yes thanks

[native bone]

The calculate function retriggers cards but not Jokers, which is what I want it to do. And yes, the setting is enabled. I checked the wiki, and it should be context.retrigger_joker_check, so I dunno

[turbid solstice]

are the steamodded example mods up to date and able to be referenced without issues?

[vale zinc]

Is there a context.<???> specifier for when the player's Joker lineup changes?

[slim ferry]

most of them are quite outdated, you should generally just use vanillaremade if you need a reference https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[red flower]

no, there are some for adding or destroying/selling

[vale zinc]

What about moving them around?

[red flower]

nope

[slim ferry]

no

[turbid solstice]

Much thanks

[unkempt bronze]

Found button code, will this work?

  UIBox_button({
  minw = 3.85,
  button = "steamodded_github",
  label = {localize('b_github_project')} })}```

[red flower]

iirc you need to hook Node:stop_drag

[unreal lion]

any help

[native bone]

Hit ctrl c and paste in a random textbox, that will allow you to read the crashlog

[wind steppe]

the guy in modding chat was wrong

modding chat is the right place

[native bone]

You mean modding dev?

[sharp arch]

look man, slander fun'

butr no

[daring fern]

Use SMODS.is_eternal

[turbid solstice]

This is actually unbelieveable helpful this would have saved headaches yesterday thank you very much

[native bone]

I tried that, it doesnt work

Although that could work for Jokers

[vale zinc]

Would that also work for making it so that you can't rearrange cards held in hand?

[red flower]

no

[vale zinc]

What would?

And how could I make Node:stop_drag() work only with Jokers?

[native bone]

Isnt there a Pinned sticker in Cryptid that prevents dragging?

[slim ferry]

Node:stop_drag is what happens when you well, stop dragging an object

[daring fern]

No, that's from the base game.

[slim ferry]

you cant really make it not do that

[slim ferry]

its from vanilla but also that locks all the cards to be sorted based on sort order since thats how multiple pinned jokers are handled

the decision from cryptid is probably better to look at

since that prevents moving while still allowing free will

[native bone]

Arent pinned jokers impossible to obtain without playing a challenge run, right?

[slim ferry]

yeah

correct

[red flower]

if (self.ability or {}).set == "Joker" then

[slim ferry]

but it is still from vanilla

[native bone]

Okay

[vale zinc]

You and @slim ferry, this is what I'm asking for: a junior version of Crimson Heart.

[slim ferry]

i see

[red flower]

i would just do that in update lol

[slim ferry]

perhaps entropy would have some code worth looking at since it has a blind which debuffs the leftmost joker(s)

or update works too

[native bone]

How do I retrigger jokers?

[vale zinc]

What does that entail, "update"?

[red flower]

i dont think blinds have an update function but you can hook Game:update, check if you are in your blind and then check for the rightmost joker and debuff it and undebuff all other jokers with the same source

[red flower]

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

[native bone]

Now that I have a clear head, thank you

[native bone]

I cannot get this thing to retrigger Jokers. I've been trying, but I cant seem to get it to work. I dont know what context I should put the repetition = true bit in.

[slim ferry]

you need to return repetitions = <amount>

[vale grove]

ive been reading up on vanilla remade wiki

but i cant seem to figure out how to reduce the price of booster packs

[vale zinc]

What is set_ability() used for within a Boss Blind's code?

[red flower]

example?

[native bone]

Did I not? I can see that there is an repetitions = X in the return of both

[faint yacht]

-# ...did you enable Joker triggers optional feature?

[native bone]

Yes, I am making a mod that depends on Cryptid, which does enable retriggering Jokers

[crystal perch]

it doesn't matter if the mod you're depending on has the feature enabled, you must have it enabled in your mod too

[native bone]

Okay, so how can I do that? Is it in your moddata.json file?

[crystal perch]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#what-are-optional-features

just place the SMODS.current_mod.optional_features in your main.lua

[native bone]

Okay

I did that, but it still didnt work.

[vale zinc]

Sorry, I meant within a Joker's code.

[civic solstice]

hey guys what did i fuck up lol

the card im tryna code

this is the wrong code screenshot

1 sec

this is the right one

[civic solstice]

ignore that first screenshot

[fallow breach]

i wanna work on some jokers that have to do with positioning.
first i want a joker that checks if any jokers have been moved (it will be a scaling joker that resets when any joker gets moved)
next i want a joker that is pinned to the position it gets bought in (can't use pinned as a reference because it's hardcoded in a file i can't find)

any ideas on where to start with these?

[civic solstice]

btw whats happening is the card doesnt trigger when the card is discarded

[civic solstice]

oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

thatll do it

didnt fix it

lol

[civic solstice]

where can i find the full list for all the contexts ingame

contexts and variables and everything

[vale zinc]

Just for kicks, I set one of my custom Boss Blind's boss_colour to G.C.DARK_EDITION -- the swirling shade used by Edition text -- but when I selected the Blind in question, the color does not change from one of its initial states, #C78E8E. Why is this so?

Update: when I play/discard, it'll occasionally jump to purple from gold.

[rapid stag]

does anyone have a good resource on creating additional cardareas

[cerulean rose]

how do i make a joker sticker calculate even when debuffed

[civic solstice]

on that topic why is my debug not working

[frosty rampart]

why are you defining a whole second calculate function inside the return statement of the first calculate function

that's not how that works

[civic solstice]

because this is my first time coding with lua and i have next to no clue what im doing LOL

[frosty rampart]

yea there's a lot weird going on here, and my recommendation is to throw this whole thing out and start fresh

but i'll help you!

[civic solstice]

bet

[frosty rampart]

first, you want to use context.discard, not context.pre_discard. that way it'll calculate once on each individual discarded card, instead of having to manually dig through the discarded hand

[cerulean rose]

also will make the timing consistent with jokers like mail-in rebate

[frosty rampart]

or castle, yea

next, inside context.discard, you don't need whatever that if function() end == true then junk is
what you should do is check if context.other_card is an 8 of hearts, and if it is, you should increase the joker's variable where it has its current mult stored

[cerulean rose]

use SMODS.scale_card for this

[frosty rampart]

true (it's documented in the smods 0827 changelog)

[cerulean rose]

it also changes behavior of existing jokers

[frosty rampart]

that was fixed actually

[cerulean rose]

oh?

[civic solstice]

what does this do

[frosty rampart]

i should know, i was part of that issue thread

[frosty rampart]

it allows you to opt into crossmod content that would change how fast cards can scale (e.g. someone else's joker that makes scaling jokers scale twice as fast would make yours gain +10 mult for every discarded 8 of hearts, but that only works if you use the scale_card function)

anyway, get started on what i wrote out and let me know when you're done. it won't be finished yet, we still need a second part to the calculate function, but i wanna get this working first

[civic solstice]

im confused wdym by crossmod content

[frosty rampart]

like
other mods that add something that affects card scaling

using the scale_card function would mean that your joker is automatically compatible with anything like that

[civic solstice]

ohhh okay

[cerulean rose]

only fixed for vanilla jokers
unless im misunderstanding something

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and not context.blueprint then
        if context.other_card:is_suit("Clubs") then
            return SMODS.scale_card(card,
                {
                    ref_table = card.ability,
                    ref_value = "mult",
                    scalar_value = "gain",
                    message_colour = G.C.MULT,
                    message_key = "a_mult",
                })
        end
        if context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") and card.ability.mult ~= 0 then
            return SMODS.scale_card(card,
                {
                    ref_table = card.ability,
                    ref_value = "mult",
                    scalar_value = "loss",
                    operation = "-",
                    message_colour = G.C.RED,
                    message_key = "a_mult_minus",
                })
        end
    elseif context.joker_main then
        return { mult = card.ability.mult }
    end
end

[frosty rampart]

yea but like
it's not really fixable in the function itself
it differs from vanilla behavior because vanilla behavior keeps the message and the scaling separate, whereas scale_card bundles it all together at once

[cerulean rose]

how would you rewrite this to work properly?

[frosty rampart]

if i had to, i'd make the function return a table that can be returned in a calculate function. that would be where the message goes, instead of having a calculate_effect call in the scale_card function
but i don't think it's broken or bad as it is necessarily, it's just different

[civic solstice]

okay so i assume what youre saying with this entire thing is smth like this

[frosty rampart]

nnnno

is_rank isn't a thing (yet), and you're using scale_card wrong

real quick can you show me the rest of the joker definition?

[cerulean rose]

like how would you rewrite my code to work properly with SMODS.scale_card

[frosty rampart]

also i highly recommend referencing vanillaremade if you aren't already. in particular, castle's effect is very similar to what you're trying to do
it doesn't use scale_card but tbh don't worry about scale_card rn, i think it just complicates things more than necessary for beginners

[civic solstice]

just the rest of this that i didnt alter from the base jokerforge code

[civic solstice]

alr

[frosty rampart]

i meant everything in the brackets of the SMODS.Joker {...}

[civic solstice]

o

just this config stuff

[cerulean rose]

also while ur here can u help with this too

[frosty rampart]

ah my bad
instead of message_colour and message_key, you should just have no_message = true, and then return the message manually

[cerulean rose]

weird jank but ok

[frosty rampart]

"how do i make it behave like vanilla"
how it behaves in vanilla
"weird jank but ok"

[frosty rampart]

yea really do look at vanillaremade's castle, it'll help a lot i think

[civic solstice]

i will tmr im tired lmao

ty for tryna help out i appreciate it

[frosty rampart]

yea no worries
transitioning from jokerforge to lua is really rough in general because jokerforge-generated code tends to be really weird and not good for reference

[civic solstice]

fair

i just used it as a starting point and try to fix it up with what little i know about lua

i mean i got it to not crash upon opening the game by myself if thats anything LOL

[river grail]

I'm trying to make another suits-based mod. It's meant to be the 6 of Nones, but I think I did something wrong.

SMODS.Suit{ -- Temp
    key = 'Nones',
    card_key = 'NONES',
    hidden = false,

    lc_atlas = 'cmerge_cards',
    hc_atlas = 'cmerge_cards',

    lc_ui_atlas = 'cmerge_suits',
    hc_ui_atlas = 'cmerge_suits',

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

    lc_colour = HEX('374649'),
    hc_colour = HEX('374649'),

    in_pool = function(self, args)
        if args and args.initial_deck then
            return true
        end
    end
}```

[frosty rampart]

you haven't localized anything

[civic solstice]

i sent you a friend req btw if you didnt see it

okay im gonna go to bed now gn chat

[river grail]

Ohh

[civic solstice]

o/

[river grail]

Forgot about all of that

[mossy minnow]

what is the card area for the discard pile?

[frosty rampart]

G.discard i think

[true jasper]

is like it possiable to make an undiscovered sprite have a custom display size
putting this display_size = { w = 65, h = 79 }, doesnt work in the SMODS.UndiscoveredSprite

[umbral zodiac]

those dimensions seem familiar

[vale zinc]

Even when I set odds to 1, this Boss Blind's code does not destroy cards after they are played, and I copied the code from the Vanilla Remade code for Glass Cards. What do I do?

calculate = function(self, blind, context)
    if not blind.disabled then
        if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == card and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'test', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
            SMODS.destroy_cards(card)
        end
    end
end

[daring fern]

Yes, card doesn't exist.

[vale zinc]

In the function() definition, would changing blind to card do the trick?

[daring fern]

No.

[vale zinc]

What would?

And how would I make sure that it happens after all scoring is finished, like with Glass cards?

[daring fern]

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(blind, 'seed', 1, blind.effect.extra.odds) then
    return {remove = true}
end

[vale zinc]

That worked!

[plain apex]

still confused on this

like do i have to do something more for it to properly use the right text?

[daring fern]

It only works for editions with card_limit in the config.

[plain apex]

if i add a card_limit but dont use it will that work?

yes that works!

they really should have specified that better tho

[obsidian spear]

How do I look for a unique Identifier of a card thats in G.jokers.cards

I needa check for a specific joker in a loop so that the loop ends

[glass scaffold]

How do I apply random enhancements from a specific mod onto cards in a deck?

[maiden phoenix]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-give-a-card-a-random-editionenhancementseal

[glass scaffold]

Thanks

[red flower]

if joker.config.center_key == "j_modprefix_key" then

[obsidian spear]

thats not unique

thats gonna activate from the first joker of same joker

what if i have two

they should work seperately

[mystic river]

i believe there's a unique identifier somewhere, yes
use debugplus to dig it up, i guess

[maiden phoenix]

break the loop if you find the first valid joker?

[obsidian spear]

i did find a unique one

[mystic river]

literally called something to the effect of unique id

[obsidian spear]

thats boring

the description means to be to the left of itself

not that first one

from inspect()

where is it though

[mystic river]

... there? in that table you are looking at?

[glass scaffold]

And of course, crashes.

[obsidian spear]

is inspect() not just abunch of variables

[maiden phoenix]

Replace card by v

[obsidian spear]

need card in function if you call to it

yea that

[maiden phoenix]

Also pretty sure G.playing_cards is an ipairs loop

[mystic river]

cards are tables

[obsidian spear]

a

i thought it'd be inside somethign else

is the card in the function card or self

[glass scaffold]

That worked, thanks

[obsidian spear]

card i assume?

nvm nvm

[red flower]

what's the effect supposed to be, why do you need to break the loop twice instead of just finding all the instances

[obsidian spear]

not twice

if i have two of the same joker, they'll both stop at the first joker

i want them independent

[mystic river]

is there a reason you need the unique value instead of just comparing the card directly, e.g. G.jokers.cards[i] == card?

[red flower]

then what's the problem with my method

[obsidian spear]

true

[obsidian spear]

you're checking for if the card is the same joker, not card

different things

[red flower]

i know

[obsidian spear]

thats not what i want

[red flower]

but the jokers are always sorted

so it's going to be the same one

[obsidian spear]

wait what?

wdym

oh

wait what

[red flower]

G.jokers.cards is in the order theyre sorted in the joker slots, and they can't be reordered fast enough during calculation

so unless this effect takes place at two different timings it will always be the first in the order

[red flower]

[obsidian spear]

wait so does this mean that this is how to player places them or how the game for some reason sorts them

[red flower]

former

[obsidian spear]

so its fine

this conversation was useless?

[red flower]

[obsidian spear]

huuh?

[obsidian spear]

true i think

[mystic river]

terrible name for it though

[obsidian spear]

-# i agree

[maiden phoenix]

Wait til they bring up a Z solution to the Y solution

[mystic river]

the real xy problem is when you save in lumiose city and get softlocked

[red flower]

so true

How do you check in an enhancement when it gets added and removed from a card

[next timber]

on_apply = function(card)
  print("apply")
end,
on_remove = function(card)
  print("remove")
end

oh wait hang on maybe not that for editions

[elder rune]

alr

[next timber]

lemme check if it works for enhancements one sec

ok uhh i was wrong no it doesnt my bad

is there like a better way of setting an edition's card limit change that i dont know about? rn im doing config = { card_limit = -1 } and it seems to be causing a whole lot of jank when applied to every playing card in the deck

[elder rune]

yeah im trying another approach instead

[wintry solar]

It shouldn’t be jank on dev branch

[next timber]

im on 1.0.0~BETA-1016c, that should be the latest dev version right?

this is what happened when i was just playing hands with 12 hand size and a full deck of cards with -1 card_size from the big edition

drew a ghost card, then it disappeared and i drew a face down card that couldnt be selected, then two more ghost cards

should probably be noted the first hand of the round was entirely normal

[wintry solar]

No that’s the latest release, the latest dev version is 1031a

[next timber]

oh, so just download from code?

[wintry solar]

Though I do think it is better for this effect to use extra_slots_used = 1 so this effect

But yeah, download from main code for the current latest dev build (prone to being buggy though)

[next timber]

ok ive not yet run into the previous issues but after discarding ive somehow ended up with. 16 cards. in a hand size of 12. when i should be holding 6 because they all take 2 hand space.

ok no thats not quite accurate i wasnt reading the hand size text right

but when i discard i draw twice as many cards as i should

but only if im not already over the amount i should have

[wintry solar]

hmmm, will do some investigating

[next timber]

also strangely, im at 14 hand size from having 12 base and having a doubled juggler, and ive just entered the manacle and i still drew 7 cards when i shouldnt have had enough hand space to do that? the count says im at an effective 14/13 now

[pseudo furnace]

How would I juice a card until a hand is played?

[red flower]

have you looked at DNA's code

[pseudo furnace]

I did

[red flower]

this will always be true

[wintry solar]

Should be fixed now on newest commit, (1031b), if you could verify your problems are gone that would be perfect

[pseudo furnace]

I changed it to hands =G+1, but it's not doing anything as well

[slim ferry]

that will always be false

[red flower]

you need to move the local out of the function

[slim ferry]

you went from checking G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == G.GAME.current_round.hands_played to checking G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == G.GAME.current_round.hands_played+1

effectively

[pseudo furnace]

Thanks for that

[next timber]

sorry for late response but yep its fixed

thanks for the quick patch 👍

[vale grove]

how do you change the price of booster packs?

i tried reading up on alot of things but i just cannot seem to find the thing that changes the price of boosters

[daring fern]

It's Card:set_cost

[vale grove]

you told me that but i dont really get it

because how does that affect only boosters?

[daring fern]

It doesn't, it affects all cards.

[vale grove]

but i want it to only affect boosters

thats why i wanna know how to do that

if i made a voucher that reduced all card price, i would just be making clearance sale again
