if self.ability.set == 'Booster'

[next timber]

is there like, an alternative to context.before or something else i can do to make it consider retriggers? i have a seal that gives other played cards +10 chips and the effect feels like retriggers should affect it, but because its done in context.before so that the cards scored before it still get the boost in time, it only ever triggers once

[wintry solar]

you'd have to rewrite how calculation is handled in that stage

[next timber]

no way to get how many retriggers the card is going to recieve?

darn

[vale grove]

is there a way to differentiate between normal and mega packs?

[slim ferry]

not really

i guess you could check if string.find(self.config.center.key:lower(), "mega") since usually people put mega in the keys of mega packs

which should work most of the time

[vale grove]

nah its not a huge deal

i was thinking maybe mega's get reduced by 2

but 1 is already pretty powerful in itself

completely different question how do you generate a random tag?

ive been looking at things like diet cola but they use

add_tag(Tag('tag_key'))

[slim ferry]

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

alternatively you can use get_next_tag_key("seed") i think

[daring heron]

so i have the code for the plant, but how would i make it disable 2s, 3s, 4s and 5s instead of face cards?

[vale grove]

idk exactly what the plant does but dont you need to change the ranks?

[daring heron]

SMODS.Blind {
key = "plant",
dollars = 5,
mult = 2,
debuff = { is_face = true },
pos = { x = 0, y = 19 },
boss = { min = 4 },
boss_colour = HEX("709284")
}
well this is the plant's code in vremade

[slim ferry]

to debuff multiple ranks you need to use a calculate, check verdant leaf for debuffing cards with calculate

[daring heron]

wouldnt this work?

SMODS.Blind {
key = "birch",
dollars = 5,
mult = 2,
debuff = { value = '2', value = '3', value = '4', value = '5' },
pos = { x = 0, y = 30 },
boss = { min = 1 },
boss_colour = HEX("a84024")
}

[slim ferry]

no

because duplicate table entries

[daring heron]

ah i see

[slim ferry]

the next one just overrides the previous each time

also holy shit the plant if it was evil

[daring heron]

the plant is already evil

wait so how do i debuff ranks 2 to 5

[slim ferry]

.

just copy hack for the rank check

[daring heron]

oh lol

also whats the vscode lua extension called again

is it just the first one when you search up lua?

would this work?

    key = "birch",
    atlas = 'blind_chips',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 30 },
    boss_colour = HEX("56789A"),
    discovered = false,
    dollars = 5,
    mult = 2,
    debuff = { value = '2', value = '3', value = '4', value = '5' },
    boss = { min = 1 },
    calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if not blind.disabled then
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 2 or
                context.other_card:get_id() == 3 or
                context.other_card:get_id() == 4 or
                context.other_card:get_id() == 5 then
                return {
                    debuff = true
                }
            end
        end
    end
}

[daring fern]

No, it's context.debuff_card

[daring heron]

still doesnt work

[slim ferry]

just search lua and get the one by sumneko

should be near the top

[daring heron]

also for some reason my balatro is just not saving at all

[slim ferry]

wdym

[daring heron]

idk every time i start up balatro it gives me the tutorial again and my settings are reset

[slim ferry]

wtf

[daring heron]

but yeah it still doesnt work

SMODS.Blind {
    key = "birch",
    atlas = 'blind_chips',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 30 },
    boss_colour = HEX("56789A"),
    discovered = false,
    dollars = 5,
    mult = 2,
    boss = { min = 1 },
    calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if not blind.disabled then
            if context.debuff_card:get_id() == 2 or
                context.debuff_card:get_id() == 3 or
                context.debuff_card:get_id() == 4 or
                context.debuff_card:get_id() == 5 then
                return {
                    debuff = true
                }
            end
        end
    end
}

[red flower]

if context.debuff_card and (context.debuff_card:get_id() == 2 or ...)

[umbral spire]

when using SMODS.create_card()

is the 'area' arg required? or will it default to something based on 'set'?

[wind steppe]

create_card doesn't emplace by default

[umbral spire]

?

[wind steppe]

if youre looking for automatic emplace try SMODS.add_card

all the same parameters are taken

[umbral spire]

ah, so for SMODS.add_card() does it default to X based on set if area isnt given?

[wind steppe]

yes

[daring heron]

well uh

SMODS.Blind {
key = "birch",
atlas = 'blind_chips',
pos = { x = 0, y = 30 },
boss_colour = HEX("56789A"),
discovered = false,
dollars = 5,
mult = 2,
boss = { min = 1 },
calculate = function(self, blind, context)
if not blind.disabled then
if context.debuff_card and (context.debuff_card:get_id() == 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 ) then
return {
debuff = true
}
end
end
end
}

[slim ferry]

context.debuff_card:get_id() == 2 or context.debuff_card:get_id() == 3 ...

[daring heron]

oh i see

[slim ferry]

or just context.debuff_card:get_id() => 2 and context.debuff_card:get_id =< 5

which should work too i think

well it would include ids between 2 and 5 from modded ranks potentially

[wind steppe]

thats probably fine

[wild berry]

how can i clone a card

[wind steppe]

copy_card

takes the card you want to copy

returns the copy of the card

[umbral spire]

does ease_hands_played change the current hands? like the number near your discards?

[slim ferry]

yeah

[daring fern]

local copy = copy_card(card)
card.area:emplace(copy)
copy:add_to_deck()

[slim ferry]

just current

[umbral spire]

how do you change hand size?

[slim ferry]

G.hand:change_size(amount)

to make it temporary you have to additionally increment G.GAME.round_resets.temp_handsize by the same amount

[wind steppe]

why is there a function for that as opposed to all other cardareas where you set the config directly

[slim ferry]

wdym

CardArea.change_size is a method of the CardArea gameobject

you can use it on any card area

[wind steppe]

oh

[umbral spire]

so like

G.hand:change_size(-5)
G.GAME.round_resets.temp_handsize(-5)

[wind steppe]

im suing vanillaremade

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.round_resets.temp_handsize = (G.GAME.round_resets.temp_handsize or 0) - 5

but other than that yes

[loud summit]

is it possible to change how many picks you get from a pack mid pack

[willow scroll]

bump

i still dont know 😭

[clever wasp]

does someone understand this?

[wintry solar]

Sue thunk he’s the one who made the function and then only used it half the time

[wind steppe]

im suing everyone

[red flower]

i should change all of them to change_size that's true

[wintry solar]

It doesn’t matter which you use though

They both do the same thing

[willow scroll]

how can i make a lovely patch not end with a newline

i want to turn an if into an elseif by prepending some stuff

[wintry solar]

use a regex patch

[willow scroll]

uh oh im not smart enough for regex patches apparently

10 trillion trial and errors go

[final jewel]

how do I make a global for this and a config thing so it easy to add some

[viscid talon]

ok so, complete coding noob here

how do i make a consumable that like

when triggered ten times, allows a specific consumable to show up in a store

sorta like antimatter

[daring fern]

You would increment a global variable in the use function, and check if that variable is greater than or equal to 10 in the other consumables in_pool function.

[viscid talon]

hmmm, so id make a flag?

[daring fern]

No, it would be a number.

[viscid talon]

o

hmmmm

[slim ferry]

look at how ectoplasm does it in vanillaremade

it uses a global to check how much hand size to take away

[viscid talon]

ooooh okay

ill check that out

[viscid talon]

wait where

looking for ectoplasm,,,

on the wiki

cannot find

[slim ferry]

not wiki

the files

[viscid talon]

o

hmm

[slim ferry]

src/spectrals.lua

[viscid talon]

oke i found it

[solemn shuttle]

is there a way to have tags add a specific voucher to the shop as opposed to just One in general

[viscid talon]

just took a look at the code

[solemn shuttle]

-# for reference im making a tag that works like the voucher tag but automatically gives you an upgraded version of one of your already redeemed vouchers [and blank if you have none]

[viscid talon]

im guessing G.GAME.ecto_minus is their variable

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.ecto_minus yeah

[viscid talon]

okok

[slim ferry]

inside of G.GAME because that gets saved with the run

and the G.GAME.ecto_minus = G.GAME.ecto_minus or 1 is to set it to 1 if the value doesnt exist yet

[viscid talon]

so would something like this work then?

[slim ferry]

yeah

also i assume youre trying to do like G.P_CENTERS something for the info queue

[viscid talon]

P_centers?

[slim ferry]

thats like

all the cards

[viscid talon]

oo i c 🤔

[slim ferry]

so G.P_CENTERS.modprefix_key for the info queue

[viscid talon]

        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.hatchet_key
        return {vars = {G.GAME.daat_summon or 1} }```

oh vscode doesnt like that

the little lightbulb just showed up

[slim ferry]

lightbulb doesnt necessarily mean something

[viscid talon]

o oke

[slim ferry]

but also what type of object is it

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#smodsadd_voucher_to_shopkeysmodsadd_booster_to_shopkey

[slim ferry]

since class prefix

for the tooltip[

[viscid talon]

so now it has an internal variable then? that keeps track of the kether uses?

[solemn shuttle]

oh wait there's optional key args whoops 👀

ty lol

[slim ferry]

oh kether is a consumable?

should be

c_hatchet_kether then

[viscid talon]

yeah it is

[slim ferry]

for tooltip

but yeah it should have that

[viscid talon]

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = c.hatchet.kether

[slim ferry]

G.P_CENTERS.c_hatchet_kether

[viscid talon]

oh oke

[slim ferry]

and then the variable should work as long as you actually increment it in the use function for kether

[viscid talon]

ok so thats been done, rn i need to make it so that the function returns with +1 to daat.summon

yesyes

im currently reviewing the code for Blank rn

since Kether is meant to function similarly to Blank#

[slim ferry]

i mean blank works differently since that uses lifetime uses

instead of per run

[viscid talon]

yeah true true

[slim ferry]

and total uses per card are stored by default

for the profile stats page

[viscid talon]

hmmm, okay now im confused

im unsure how to code the incremental joker thing

i tried checking ectoplasm's code and it doesnt feel right

[slim ferry]

how so

[viscid talon]

would it be something like
G.GAME.daat_summon = G.P_CENTERS.c_hatchet_kether + 1
or

idk what im doing 😭 😭

my code rn

hold on wheres the fcucking key

here we go

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.daat_summon = G.GAME.daat_summon + 1

[stoic void]

my edition isnt working, i know there isnt a shader im talking about the effect

[frosty rampart]

i don't think editions auto-calculate from config values, you still need a calculate function

[slim ferry]

they do for some

[frosty rampart]

oh hm

[slim ferry]

also use card.edition.chips and card.edition.x_chips

for loc_vars

also G.GAME.edition_rate is meant specifically for foil/holo/poly for hone and glow up to change their rates fyi

[stoic void]

that crashed

[slim ferry]

what crashed

[stoic void]

i know that

[slim ferry]

yeah because

your loc_vars

[slim ferry]

doesnt have that argument

self, info_queue, card

[stoic void]

ah ok

[viscid talon]

oke

[stoic void]

its doing nothing

[frosty rampart]

not even the -chips?

[viscid talon]

is that all id need to do then

[slim ferry]

yeah

[stoic void]

nope

[slim ferry]

for incrementing the value thatll work

[slim ferry]

do negative chips/mult returns work normally

i forget

[stoic void]

neither of them do anything tho

[frosty rampart]

i mean probably

[slim ferry]

i know xchips and xmult effects that are <= 0 get ignored

so like

idk

but anyway you can just make a calculate

[stoic void]

yeah i could

[faint yacht]

x_chips is not procced automatically, it seems.

[slim ferry]

and check for (context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play or context.post_joker)

[civic solstice]

okay its back to hell LOL

since last night i coded these things i understood from the vrm castle script

[frosty rampart]

you took the wrong lesson from castle lol
you don't need any of the current_round stuff because you're always hardcoding it to 8 of hearts

[civic solstice]

oh

LOL

[frosty rampart]

you did also take the right lesson from castle though, in that you added a separate mult variable to your config table

[stoic void]

Ive done something wrong

[slim ferry]

yeah

[daring fern]

Yes, you need a context check.

[slim ferry]

the context in the corner of the room

[stoic void]

yeah, but is there one for both cards and jokers?

[civic solstice]

btw is this the right syntax

[stoic void]

Also this is stupid

[civic solstice]

it just keeps going LOL

[stoic void]

yeah

[red flower]

if context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") then

[stoic void]

im not even playing a hand

[slim ferry]

#💻・modding-dev message

[stoic void]

thx

[civic solstice]

fixed ty

[viscid talon]

whats stack overflow

[civic solstice]

wait then it just does this

[slim ferry]

game ran out of memory

[viscid talon]

ruh roh

[slim ferry]

usually because of an infinite loop

[frosty rampart]

if context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") then

no ==

[civic solstice]

oh im blind

[viscid talon]

it happens whenever i try to summon kether with the debug menyu

[slim ferry]

what does kether code look like

[slim ferry]

hmmm

oh

youre adding a tooltip for itself

[stoic void]

It works!

[slim ferry]

so it infinitely adds tooltips for itself

[civic solstice]

wait okay so if this is how you detect the suit how do you detect the rank

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-check-if-a-playing-card-has-a-specific-suitrank

[stoic void]

now i just need to make the shader

[viscid talon]

wj

HUH

WHAT DO I DOOOOO

[red flower]

remove the info_queue line

[slim ferry]

why are you even adding a tooltip for the card itself

actually

[viscid talon]

tooltip,,,

whats a tooltip again

[frosty rampart]

the floating box that appears next to some joker descriptions that includes the description of another object

e.g. Stone Joker would have a tooltip with Stone Card's description

[slim ferry]

which is what info_queue does

[viscid talon]

oh right that

ohhh

i only added that bc ectoplasm's code had that

ok, got rid of the info queue part

[frosty rampart]

ectoplasm has it for the Negative edition's description

[viscid talon]

new error babeyyyyyy

so it looks like daat_summon is valueless by default

but not as like, 0

so id have to define it as zero first

and then do arithmetic?

[frosty rampart]

yea you need to initialize G.GAME.daat_summon in a hook to init_game_object

[slim ferry]

i mean you could also just

[red flower]

you can just do G.GAME.daat_summon = (G.GAME.daat_summon or 0) + 1

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.daat_summon = (G.GAME.daat_summon or 0) + 1

[frosty rampart]

true lol

[slim ferry]

yeah

[viscid talon]

ok lemme try that

ok, that seems to work

now to give daat unique spawn conditions

[civic solstice]

okay so would this be right for checking if a card is 8 of hearts

[red flower]

"8" instead of Eight

[viscid talon]

im checking the soul code rn

[civic solstice]

other than that

[red flower]

but it's usually better to use context.other_card:get_id() == 8

[frosty rampart]

no returning

[civic solstice]

so this

[umbral spire]

Can you make a custom sticker in JF? (jokerforge)

[slim ferry]

no

[frosty rampart]

sure yea
although you can simplify even further by just doing

if context.other_card:get_id() == 8 and context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") then
  -- do the effect here
end

[red flower]

doesnt seem like it

[slim ferry]

theres a lot you cant do yet

[umbral spire]

Ha. Im (my app is) already better

[slim ferry]

awesome

[civic solstice]

oh yea thats true

[clear ocean]

gonna try out malverk texting packing and not sure why it is crashing

[winter flower]

cool, cool.

-# we don't really care that much

[umbral spire]

-# ik

[lucid owl]

or set it in reset_game_globals (depending on usage) on run start

[frosty rampart]

missing the 2x version

[clear ocean]

ohh

[frosty rampart]

true

[zealous glen]

can’t make joker yet

[umbral spire]

I can, trust

[umbral spire]

im working on it

[clear ocean]

it worked

did i do something wrong localization wise

[frosty rampart]

getting there
but now you don't need to set a variable at all, you can just do the effect you want directly inside that if statement
in this case, it's scaling the card, right? so increment card.ability.extra.mult by card.ability.extra.MultAdd and return a message, all inside the if statement

[civic solstice]

so all of this is unnecesary now

[frosty rampart]

yes, a lot of that is wrong anyway

[civic solstice]

alright

[viscid talon]

i just made this for the booster pack

        local _card
        if G.GAME.daat_summon > 10 then
            _card = {
                set = 'daat',
                area = G.pack.cards,
                skip_materialize = true,
                soulable = true,
                key_append = "hatchet_sephirot_pack2"
            }
        else
        _card = {
            set = "sephirot",
            area = G.pack_cards,
            skip_materialize = true,
            soulable = true,
            key_append = "hatchet_sephirot_pack2"
        }
    end
    return _card
end,
}```

would this work

[slim ferry]

i assume you want to be using key for spawning a specific card?

also needs class and mod prefix

[viscid talon]

yes

o how do i do that

[slim ferry]

replace set with key

and then

class prefix depends on what type of object it is

[viscid talon]

hmmm

the code rn for one of the boosters

the other booster is virtually the same code wise, it just has a different key

i can do that part myself

[slim ferry]

okay

but what is the issue

[viscid talon]

thats not good

idk, i havent tested it yet

[slim ferry]

im pretty sure there is an extra closing bracket that shouldnt be there

right at the top of the screenshot

[civic solstice]

so literally this is all i had to do

[frosty rampart]

not quite

first, get rid of is_8_of_hearts entirely. you don't need it at all.

inside the if statement with the get_id and is_suit checks, just have card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.multAdd. don't return it, that's not how that works

[civic solstice]

so that

[viscid talon]

ruh roh

if G.GAME.daat_summon > 10 then

maybe something like if G.GAME.daat_summon > 10 or 0 then ???? idk

[frosty rampart]

there we go
now, still inside that innermost if statement, add this:

return {
  message = localize("k_upgrade_ex"),
  colour = G.C.MULT
}

this will add a message when the joker upgrades

[frosty rampart]

if (G.GAME.daat_summon or 0) > 10 then

[civic solstice]

anything else

?

[viscid talon]

new error

ok this one i have no idea how to fix

[civic solstice]

i see that theres this entire section in vrms thing but idk if thats necessary or not

[frosty rampart]

we're done with the first part, which is making it upgrade properly
the second part is actually returning the mult
after the second-to-last end, but before the last end, you'll need to add a context check for joker_main and return { mult = card.ability.extra.mult } inside it

[frosty rampart]

yea this is irrelevant for your use case

[civic solstice]

alr

[viscid talon]

🤔 what is index local center

[clear ocean]

got it set up but not sure why it looks like this

i have original_sheet on

[viscid talon]

@slim ferry what do 🥺

[civic solstice]

whenever i try putting the return in there it keeps erroring

[frosty rampart]

sending the code and error would be helpful

[civic solstice]

true enough

[clear ocean]

woops i forgot i had pixel smoothing on 😭

[civic solstice]

it says theres no ) even tho there is

[frosty rampart]

by a context check i mean

if context.joker_main then
  -- do something
end

[civic solstice]

ohh

that makes more sense lol

so like that

[frosty rampart]

yea looks good

[civic solstice]

alrighty

lemme test it out now

https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/lpLtXFkP6Qhb5pr8d?invite=cr-MSxIMTAsNDMyNTk1NDk1&v=29

yippee

now i just needa make the thing that displays how much mult its currently at

shouldnt be that hard

[viscid talon]

woohoo

[civic solstice]

hopefully

[slim ferry]

that means it cant find the given key i think

at least

not a card with it

[winter flower]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card) will be your friend

[viscid talon]

what do i do

[slim ferry]

show the create_card code

[viscid talon]

        local _card
        if (G.GAME.daat_summon or 0) > 10 then
            _card = {
                key = 'daat',
                area = G.pack.cards,
                skip_materialize = true,
                soulable = true,
                key_append = "hatchet_sephirot_pack2"
            }
        else
            _card = {
                key = "sephirot",
                area = G.pack_cards,
                skip_materialize = true,
                soulable = true,
                key_append = "hatchet_sephirot_pack2"
        }
    end
    return _card
end,```

[daring fern]

It's c_modprefix_key

[civic solstice]

nvm apparently it is

how the FUCK do i concatenate this properly

[daring fern]

..

Also remove the {}

[civic solstice]

thanls

now it does this

[slim ferry]

card.ability.extra.currentMult

[slim ferry]

oh

yeah you

need loc_vars

to have the variables in your description

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#loc_vars

[viscid talon]

where do i put that

[red flower]

i think most of these things you have been asking about are in the vanillaremade examples

[slim ferry]

in place of the current key youre using for the card

[viscid talon]

okey

[slim ferry]

c_modprefix_daat

with modprefix being your mod prefix

[civic solstice]

i might have fucked smth up here but i tried

[viscid talon]

i get the same error

[slim ferry]

is has to be

[viscid talon]

here's the full code

[slim ferry]

in the actual consumable

still

[frosty rampart]

you aren't even making a consumable 😭

[slim ferry]

your mod prefix is actually hatchet right

[winter flower]

that’s not how you

[civic solstice]

do i have to add all this in

[winter flower]

if you’re not using it no

[viscid talon]

yeah it is

[slim ferry]

no

it says all the return values are optional above

[civic solstice]

i added the vars = { thing i missed originally

[frosty rampart]

why are you looking at consumables???

you're making a joker right?

[slim ferry]

this is the localization wiki page

[frosty rampart]

oh right

i can't read

[slim ferry]

🥀

[slim ferry]

key should probably still be set in the second card thing

when you dont have 10 uses of the one card

and without prefixes

since im assuming youre still just making random cards of the type there

[viscid talon]

yeah i am

vscode is fun

ok it loads now

[slim ferry]

awesome

[viscid talon]

new error

this occurs once daatsummon is over 10

line 99 is area = G.pack.cards

[slim ferry]

oh

you put G.pack.cards

instead of G.pack_cards

[viscid talon]

oh ok

we r back to this error

maybe key = 'c_hatchet_daat' should be set = 'daat' instead

[slim ferry]

no

because set is for a pool

[viscid talon]

oh, well i tried that and daat did show up, but with two jokers

yeah, daat is in its own separate set

[slim ferry]

and key is for a specific card

[viscid talon]

oh hm

[civic solstice]

what

you were working perfectly fine 20 minutes ago

[slim ferry]

oh you should probably add and i == 1 to the check if it should spawn

so only the first card gets replaced

[slim ferry]

consider: a key is required for an object definition

[civic solstice]

well yeah

[slim ferry]

well then

[viscid talon]

oh hmm

[slim ferry]

well then add one

[civic solstice]

the 2 for 1 special

[slim ferry]

#💻・modding-dev message

[viscid talon]

oke

random question, is lua case sensitive

wuh woh

my code is set = 'daat' and i == 1

[wintry solar]

Thats evaluating to a Boolean

Delete the and i bit

[slim ferry]

no like

G.GAME.daat_summon > 10 and i == 1

in the if statement

[civic solstice]

idek what im doing bro im so fkin confused LOL

i just realized i put p_centers twice

look at me go

[slim ferry]

youre making a consumable definition with only a loc_vars

thats

what youre doing\

the loc_vars should just be in the object definition you already had

[viscid talon]

its okay pivit im new to this too

i am starting to learn how locvasrs and stuff work a bit more

ok this seems to work

[slim ferry]

epic

[elder rune]

ERROR 🗣️

[viscid talon]

theres only one issue, which i think i can fix

once daat is used, i want to set daat summon back to 0

i think i know how to do that, but ill need to test it out

also idk why it says error LMAO

[civic solstice]

okay question about vscode how to i toggle off the tab key navigation

[viscid talon]

i lowk fw it

[viscid talon]

esc? idk

[civic solstice]

nop

[elder rune]

Show code I think I know why

[viscid talon]

in a sec, im currently trying to figure out how to reset daat summons

[slim ferry]

for some reason group_name in loc_txt just doesnt work

for packs

[viscid talon]

NEVERMIND LMAO

i did my best

guessing theres a stray } somewhere

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.daat_summon = 0 should probably go outside of the event

[viscid talon]

lets give that a try

wuh woh

[slim ferry]

uh

[viscid talon]

OHHH

G.GAME

[slim ferry]

show code

[viscid talon]

WAIT

[slim ferry]

because

[viscid talon]

lemme cook

[elder rune]

G.GAME just doesn't exist smh

[slim ferry]

that doesnt happen unless you add values in G.GAME during load

[red flower]

im pretty sure it does
an error ive seen often is people having a group_name and a group_key

[viscid talon]

my fellow modding devs....

i have fixed an error without help for the FIRST TIME...

IM SO PROUD OF MYSELF

[civic solstice]

GG

[viscid talon]

(i did GAME instead of G.GAME)

now to fix some of the smaller issues

mainly with Chesed and such

[civic solstice]

i was able to code the display of my joker ingame without it crashing

[viscid talon]

first ill need to make backups of these preexisting luas

[slim ferry]

oh

[civic solstice]

it didnt do jack shit but the game launched and everything else worked

[viscid talon]

theres a few more errors ill need to fix,,,

[civic solstice]

ima cash out 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸

[viscid talon]

first some testing

[civic solstice]

literally what is even happening bro 😭

[red flower]

hard to know without seeing the previous line but it seems like it's using return as a variable

[civic solstice]

heres the full thing

[red flower]

yeah the comma in the previous line is wrong

but also that whole previous line is nonsense

delete that line

also you're still making an empty consumable

[civic solstice]

bro what is a consumable?!?!?!

i dont understand this shit at all 😭

[red flower]

something you consume

[civic solstice]

helpful

[red flower]

like a tarot or a planet

what are you trying to make

[civic solstice]

just the description thing that some jokers have that show you how much mult you have on the card as it scales

[red flower]

have you looked at this
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/a18262ba0805ecd51ae91e9cc9cf69d0fbfed810/src/jokers.lua#L15

[civic solstice]

thats not my problem tho i cant get the center key to make the code work

whatever the fuck a center key is idk

[red flower]

what center key

your problem is that you dont know how a joker is structured as i see from your screenshot

my link shows you how to do it

[red flower]

yes because you're making a consumable without a key

you don't want to even make a consumable

[civic solstice]

I WAS LEAD TO THAT PAGE WHERE- sorry i need to calm down

im just aggravated asf rn

i was literally told earlier to go to a page thats supposed to fix my problem now it apparently isnt???

[red flower]

the page is an example on how to use loc_vars

you're supposed to already understand how to make an smods object

that's why I linked the example

[civic solstice]

i never had to deal with it until now

[red flower]

yeah that's why vanillaremade exists, so you can see how jokers use loc_vars

[civic solstice]

okay so is this what i have to do

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON ABOUT???

[red flower]

you're still trying to make a consumable...

[civic solstice]

oh

nvm i see the issue

.

[red flower]

you're now trying to make a new joker

you want those things to be in the joker you were making

not calculate, i think you already have that

[civic solstice]

im going to lose it

its some kinda progress at least

its tryna call the smods.customjokers as a nil value when it shouldnt even be nil???

[viscid talon]

uh what the fuc

[red flower]

can i see the code

[red flower]

😭

sorry..

[civic solstice]

?

[red flower]

SMODS.CustomJokers doesn't make sense

[civic solstice]

wdym

[viscid talon]

its ok i fixed it

[red flower]

like, it doesn't make sense. it's not a thing

[civic solstice]

when i was typing it in it said it was a real thing

[red flower]

before this loc_vars stuff what did you have

[civic solstice]

just the configs

[red flower]

do you have copilot enabled

[red flower]

can i see that code

[civic solstice]

how do i check

[red flower]

i dont remember rn sorry, im not on my pc

[civic solstice]

its alr

[red flower]

remove the SMODS.CustomJokers line and the extra }

you want just the loc_vars

[midnight trellis]

hey bro

if I spawn a card with DebugPlus

does it get removed from the pool?

[red flower]

nope

[midnight trellis]

ty

[civic solstice]

AND WERE BACK TO WHERE WE FUCKING STARTED YAHOOOOOOOOOOOO 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

i love coding

[red flower]

it seems like a problem later in the code

[civic solstice]

presumably here bc thats where it comes up again

actually wait lemme try smth

nope nvm

i tried adding it to this thing

didnt fix it

[red flower]

can you post the whole file

honestly a couple of lines at a time is hard to parse

[civic solstice]

heres everything you havent seen

[red flower]

ok the crash says the problem is earlier than that

in line 18

[civic solstice]

this is line 18 but the problem is what i was crashing out coding for the past hour

[red flower]

ok, remove that and replace it for [3] = "currently #1#"

#1# points to the value in loc_vars

[civic solstice]

okay it didnt crash this time

lemme spawn in the joker rq

i mean

not quite

also in terms of text coloring does {C:mult} exist for that text style

[red flower]

ok that makes sense because you're not assigning anything to currentMult

[civic solstice]

that some other jokers have

[civic solstice]

i think ik how to fix that

[red flower]

usually you want {C:inactive}(Currently {C:mult}+#1#{C:inactive} mult)

[civic solstice]

alr

[civic solstice]

also i did not know how to fix that in fact

i tried turning the MultCurrentlyIs thing to a string instead of an integer

didnt work lol

[red flower]

just change that for 0

[civic solstice]

wdym

[red flower]

the values in config are the defaults

you don't want to use a variable, you want to set the default number usually

[civic solstice]

im sorry im dumb this is what it currently is what do i set it to instead

[red flower]

oh.. do you have two configs???

[civic solstice]

yeah

one for the incriment and one for the tracker

[red flower]

you can't have 2

[civic solstice]

thatd explain why

almost

actually ykw fuck it 1 sec

[viscid talon]

theres currently a weird bug going on with sulfur cards. for some reason, theyre disabled whenever i get into suit disabling blinds

[slim ferry]

what is their effect

[civic solstice]

LMFAOPOOOASOAOO

OOPSIES

[chrome widget]

Gonna see if I can come up with some easier credit/config automation via my API mod

doing credits and config are all kinda boring boilerplate so I'm sure other modders might appreciate tht

[zealous glen]

What do you have in mind

[chrome widget]

Basically, all of my mods use basically the exact same framework for config/credits, and the config elements are used to filter item loading automatically

I'm thinking I can have a basic framework for the UI for both that can be automatically filled in based on other supported elements in the API, I.E. I have a set thing to detect that items have an 'artist' and 'programmer' field on them

[zealous glen]

I think the mods you’ve worked on are typically multi-person projects so they need more robust credits

And so far I’ve seen people copy Cryptid and maybe now how Hotpot does credits

[gusty compass]

could anyone find the reason behind this error (i assume its because of my mod):

[zealous glen]

I have particular opinions about credits and my mod is mostly single-dev so my janky implementation does what I want

[chrome widget]

fair, but this will also be opt in

[zealous glen]

I mean of course I was just commenting about who might be interested in an API

Which I think would be group projects

But then again those might want Credits with specific visuals you know

Although IIRC the mods you worked on had a very cool Credits collection menu

Which would be interesting to feature artists

[zealous glen]

@chrome widget I could tell you if you think that would help your API or if you’d just be interested in having a conversation

[chrome widget]

Yeah this is the main thing, at a certain point with enough contributing artists it becomes harder to manage, though obv not impossible

[zealous glen]

I’m trying to remember what else people argued when I brought up this topic recently but I can’t think of an useful insight

[viscid talon]

hi winter

[chrome widget]

Oh hi marisa!!

[zealous glen]

I guess the useful insight was the one given about most mods being single dev

[zealous glen]

Have you seen how other mods do it

[chrome widget]

no

[civic solstice]

wtf do i do man

[slim ferry]

#1# in the variable

like N said before

and you dont need to concatenate

[civic solstice]

its not in the config thing

[slim ferry]

what

?

[civic solstice]

n said you cant have 2 things in config

[slim ferry]

you can

[zealous glen]

I’d say Cryptid and Hotpot, maybe Ortalab, are the big ones. Aikoyori’s is mostly single dev but has an awesome custom Credits page that wouldn’t work for other mods. Cosmos was developing a Credits system but I don’t think it was released, maybe ask @shell tangle or @cinder briar

There’s a few other big mods but I don’t remember how they do Credits or if it’s significant

I would maybe tell you how I do it for my own mod but I don’t know if it’s particularly useful

[civic solstice]

@red flower liar

[slim ferry]

you cant have 2 seperate configs

is what he said

[civic solstice]

oh

@red flower not liar

[slim ferry]

you can have 2 values in a single config

[civic solstice]

wait so how does that work

you can have multiple values but not multiple variables???

[slim ferry]

multiple variables

same thing

[civic solstice]

oh

[zealous glen]

Aikoyori’s

[chrome widget]

Oh that's cool

[civic solstice]

yeah then i alr have this variable in here

[slim ferry]

well

the config itself is marked yellow

[zealous glen]

Hotpot’s has something like this (this was a dev version of my credit ironically missing credit for this specific artwork)

[slim ferry]

so that means its a duplicate table entry

all the values should be in a single config

[civic solstice]

thatd make sense bc theres one down here

[chrome widget]

I do want to have hoverable things like this in the credits where possible, but that's a stretch goal for my current implementation

[zealous glen]

I think Hotpot also has badges with Credits on individual objects

[civic solstice]

i thought that was vscode not recognizing it like it did with other stuff

oops

[zealous glen]

Ortalab has ugly tooltips

My personal mod has cool tooltips

[chrome widget]

I don't do badges, I use infoqueue tooltips

[slim ferry]

you can get it to recognize steamodded stuff

hold on

[zealous glen]

I don’t remember how Cryptid does it

[zealous glen]

Yeah most people do, which is why I brought it up

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#3-set-up-the-lua-lsp

this bit

has stuff about setting up the steamodded lsp

[zealous glen]

I like my tooltip style because it’s very visibly not a gameplay tooltip and looks like film credits

[civic solstice]

yeah i alr did that

[chrome widget]

Show me

[slim ferry]

i see

[zealous glen]

Here’s an example

[slim ferry]

what is the intent behind the middle two values here

[chrome widget]

Oooh yeh don't like that, takes up too much space on the screen imo

[zealous glen]

The text is written individually because it’s unique for each Joker

[civic solstice]

okay so this is what the config thing is now

[zealous glen]

That’s fair but I think it’s important to be specific

[civic solstice]

addmulttocard is to make the incrementing work

[chrome widget]

I don't personally

Specificity can be saved for the main credits or not at all

[slim ferry]

well yeah but why are you trying to set another config value to it

[civic solstice]

and the current mult is the value i used to try and separate the uses from the increment display to the actual text

[slim ferry]

that seems not very useful

to have two of the same value

you dont need seperate values for loc_vars

[frosty rampart]

^^^

[civic solstice]

actually yeah youre right

[zealous glen]

For example, Ouroboros here

[civic solstice]

i dont even use addmulttocard anyways

[zealous glen]

I think it’s misleading if I’m using an edited or composite artwork and I don’t attribute it correctly

So I’d either show it during gameplay or not at all

I dislike a brief, incorrect attribution

[chrome widget]

personally idrc. If I don't personally think something should be credited to me I just don't credit it

Whoever is primary credit gets primary credit

[zealous glen]

It’s more that it should be credit but the crediting should be explicit. If I have a composite or edited artwork, I have to make sure not to misrepresent that

As it is my personal project, I have to predict what issues external contributors might have

Typically when working in group projects, most people don’t seem to care

[civic solstice]

okay i got rid of the useless shit and any lines that pertained to them

[zealous glen]

So if I edited their artwork minorly and didn’t say anything I don’t think they would care

However, my system needs to be robust against every possible contributor

[civic solstice]

now how do i get this shit to work

[zealous glen]

Hence I need to foresee that someone could take issue and act accordingly

[chrome widget]

personally I mostly just would say that if contributors don't like the way I do things they just don't have to be part of the mod

[zealous glen]

In group projects normally every member gets a say

[civic solstice]

^

[chrome widget]

Although for that specific example I'd mostly just put myself as art supervisor in a separate credit

[slim ferry]

just make that a single string

[zealous glen]

From my experience working in Balatro mods

[slim ferry]

and then where you want the variables

[civic solstice]

then this happens

[slim ferry]

#n# will be replaced by the nth value returned in loc_vars

[zealous glen]

If your experience is different it would seem to me as a bit exclusive among Balatro mods

But perhaps I’m making too anecdotal a statement

[slim ferry]

when displaying the description

[zealous glen]

I don’t know every group mod

[cinder briar]

I'm not super expert but for credits I think the one used for Hotpot was pretty good

[chrome widget]

I mean don't get me wrong, I'm doing a collaborative mod. But when I've done the largest majority of the work to actually push the mod to completion, wrangle artists, etc, I get largest say. If I didn't, I wouldn't work on it, and it wouldn't have access to my contributions

[zealous glen]

Do you remember the state of Cosmos’

[cinder briar]

I don't actually recall cards having artist credits

[civic solstice]

for fucks sake

[cinder briar]

Been a while since I paid much attention to Cosmos Pack 2™

[zealous glen]

I know they were listed on the GitHub page but not in game, but I seem to remember a branch with a tentative Credits page

[slim ferry]

what does the loc_vars function look like

on the joker

[cinder briar]

That'll be someone's work if anyone

[slim ferry]

and did you put #1# in the description?

for the value

[civic solstice]

oh was n supposed to be a number

[slim ferry]

yeah

[zealous glen]

Usually I see mods where people have a more equal share of the contribution; even if there’s a main programmer, there’s usually a main artist, so there’s not necessarily someone with a bigger say

[civic solstice]

that would explain a lot then

[slim ferry]

thats usually what n means for like stuff but i probably also shouldve been clearer about that

[zealous glen]

Maybe Ortalab was a bit similar but even then the main programmer was Eremel while the original creator was Shinku

[civic solstice]

it still says nil

it never ends

[slim ferry]

wh

it is #1# now right

[civic solstice]

yeah

[zealous glen]

Jest is based on Nevernamed’s fanart through one or two programmers who asked permission to turn them into functional Jokers

[slim ferry]

and loc_vars is in the right place?

[civic solstice]

it should be

[zealous glen]

There’s a few other artists with similar mods, although most are smaller

[slim ferry]

hmmm

[zealous glen]

Anyways sorry I got off-track

[zealous glen]

With my mod people doing me art are mostly doing me a favor, either doing a free request or allowing me to use their own original art and/or concept because I asked. (So far I’ve only paid for one artwork.)

So this philosophy doesn’t make any sense in the context of my personal mod

People aren’t asking me to participate and then trying to tell me what to do

[zealous glen]

Anyways outside of art credit—I don’t think programming or conceptual design credits make much sense. So usually I don’t understand why people want to include them in group projects.

-# Although I do have at least one “concept credits” as shown above.

[red flower]

i think people should do art for my mod

[chrome widget]

People did ask me to participate. If they didn't ask to be part of it, then I'd just make it without them

[civic solstice]

n please help im going fucking insane

[red flower]

whats the issue

[zealous glen]

Konami help this ||conson||ant

[zealous glen]

Ms. Popular

[civic solstice]

what the fuck am i doing wrong to make the message thingie keep saying (Currently +nil mult)

[red flower]

are you restarting a run before testing

[civic solstice]

do i have to

[wind steppe]

yes

[civic solstice]

thats probably why then

[zealous glen]

Usually yes

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#why-does-my-card-crash-when-i-change-its-config

[civic solstice]

1 sec

i actually didnt know that

thats my fault

[zealous glen]

I’ve had people offer me art which I like but I feel a bit bad so I avoid it. (I try to ask for a piece which I think would highlight what I like the most about a particular artist’s style which usually means I overthink it and don’t ask.)

That reminds me I have a few unused artworks like the one by @hushed field

[zealous glen]

What do you think of programming and concept credits by the way

[wind steppe]

programming is also work no

that also deserves credit

[civic solstice]

that should not have taken me almost 2 AND A HALF HOURS

[chrome widget]

Though I normally don't bother with them (I don't have individual credits for them in my mod as it stands), if I want to do this automation thing, I'd need to list individual programming credits on each item for them to be automatically collected into the programming tab

[zealous glen]

Not at individual Joker level

[chrome widget]

The idea here is that when a joker is loaded, it reads if the center has artist, programmer, etc and then builds the credits table based on that

[zealous glen]

I think it makes sense on the level of the entire mod or maybe individual systems

[chrome widget]

None of my items currently have a programming credit, so I'd have to add them to make this work

[zealous glen]

Hotpot has a system like that if you want to save coding time or a reference

It has artist, programmer, and concept IIRC

Maybe a team name too

[chrome widget]

does it build the full credits menu from this?

[wind steppe]

a Team Name you say...

[zealous glen]

I think so

Although if you wanted something truly scalable

Maybe you could have a single Credits table

And it parses the job and person from that

[chrome widget]

the thing being that it's creating the single credits table this way

and then it builds the tab itself based on the info it has

[zealous glen]

object.artist_credit = … and object.credit = {artist: …} seem pretty close

Although I guess the latter would need custom localization for custom jobs

[red flower]

nope

[chrome widget]

That's what im trying to automate is the focus of this

[zealous glen]

I don’t think it assembles the entire credits info from individual objects because that’s never needed

But once each object has the info I don’t think building that table is too hard

[zealous glen]

The Credits menu is custom. Each person put whatever they wanted on their icon. Someone put Labubu Glass Bridge

[civic solstice]

okay quick question

is it possible to spawn in jokers with the debug mod

[zealous glen]

Yes

Hold tab

[civic solstice]

how

[zealous glen]

Then read

[civic solstice]

i forgot ab that function LOL

i ask bc im gonna be changing some of the vanilla cards as well to work differently (mainly the legendaries so theyre actually unique to eachother)

wait okay how do i find the vanilla code for the jokers if possible

[chrome widget]

The basic idea is this:

• by base, credits has some default categories (artist, programmer, direction, etc)
• upon loading a joker, if it has information for a category, it appends the info to the category and adds onto a list of the contributions that specific user made to that specific category
• the overall credits has x and y dimensions, by base 20x10. It can be provided custom dimensions
• each category has a start position and an end position within the dimensions. Once information is collected, and to build the credits menu, it loops through the categories and minds nesting levels by arranging the dimensions on the grid and defining sections that it needs to make
• the end result is essentially this:

[frosty rampart]

use the take ownership function
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#taking-ownership
you'll have to rewrite some code depending on how much you change, but it's by far the easiest way to modify vanilla content (the only other way i can think of is lovely patching)

[chrome widget]

it's not nearly as simple as I made it sound since I'll have to experiment with a ton of constants for how to range text scaling

[zealous glen]

That feature would also be useful somewhere else

Stickers

If you can figure it out, it could be used to allow for automatic positioning of stickers

[slim ferry]

also isnt there a thing where changing the calculate will only override overlapping contexts

[obtuse forge]

GUYS HOW DO I USE IMMOLATE

[civic solstice]

where do i code this in

[slim ferry]

thats also a thing to remember

[zealous glen]

I had discussed it with, I want to say Aure, but I couldn’t figure it out

[frosty rampart]

you use it like you'd create a new joker

[obtuse forge]

I DONT UNDRESTAND

[chrome widget]

I could definitely figure out automated sticker positioning sure
<------ overconfident and egotistical

[slim ferry]

doesnt display_size handle that already

[frosty rampart]

you should ideally use it in contexts where your hand doesn't have a lot of cards you want to keep, because then it thins out your deck along with giving you the money

[obtuse forge]

NO LIKE THE TOOL

[zealous glen]

The idea being that Sticker sprites could be just the Sticker, not the entire card, and then automatically determined per Joker so there would be no overlap

[frosty rampart]

yes that's why i appended to my message. because i am making the silly. the jokes. i am the jester here

[obtuse forge]

OK

[civic solstice]

so would i be able to take the highlighted text here and just paste it into the take_ownership table?

[obtuse forge]

I HAVE JUST NOTICED THAT CAPS LOCK IS ON AND I WILL NOT TURN IT OFF FOR DREMATIC EFFECT

[slim ferry]

you would make a calculate in the table and put it in there

as if you were making another joker

[zealous glen]

What we had discussed was having a standard size, we had a specific number which I forget, which would be positioned automatically.

I was interested because I was curious about the possibility of stacking multiple of the same sticker in ways that would overlap, which sounds fun to me.

An issue with this approach is that I don’t know if it would work with the way Balatro handles sprite rotation.

Oh also

There was a different application

CardAreas

[chrome widget]

Sprite rotation in balatro is inherently a major issue yeah

[zealous glen]

With each mod adding a billion CardAreas, the introduction of a system that automatically positions them has been brought up

[chrome widget]

I've had some issues with some cards being offset specifically because of that

[zealous glen]

So a grid positioning system could also be used for this

Honestly forget the credits if you figure out grid positioning you’re solving a billion problems /hj

@chrome widget I don’t know how LaTeX handles text and floats but it seems to me like it would be an useful reference for learning how to handle text scaling and positioning in the Credits

[civic solstice]

and i assume all this extra stuff i dont need

[slim ferry]

yeah you only need to put in the values youre changing for take_ownership

alright

so if i were to make triboulet give all face cards 2x luck instead of just kings and queens this is the setup id need for it?

[slim ferry]

should be =

instead of ==

[frosty rampart]

across the board, yes
and you shouldn't have the second calculate function at all

[slim ferry]

also if you want it to be face cards you should check context.other_card:is_face()

[civic solstice]

then it has the red squiggly

[slim ferry]

yeah

its

not a table

currently

[civic solstice]

so just leave it alone with the one?

[slim ferry]

select everything from calculate to the end

and then do a {

should put the brackets around the entire selected field

[civic solstice]

i assume them being red is okay

[slim ferry]

being red is the one thing thats never okay

[sharp arch]

    function SMODS.showman(card_key)
    if next(SMODS.find_card('j_jabong_soulbottle')) then
        return true
    end
    return smods_showman_ref(card_key)
    end``` this goes outside the joker right

[slim ferry]

yes

[civic solstice]

okay so the brackets are red

what do i do

[slim ferry]

like underlined

or fully red

[civic solstice]

both

[slim ferry]

fully red means theres no closing bracket

[gusty compass]

Bump

[slim ferry]

and the underlining is probably the same issue

[civic solstice]

it says the brackets are an unexpected symbol

[slim ferry]

uhhh

show the full thing

[slim ferry]

ah

[wintry solar]

Ortalab doesn’t have ugly tooltips, it has nice text in the main tooltip

[civic solstice]

i assume i also get rid of the local on the silent thing

[slim ferry]

yeah that closing yellow bracket

should be after all the closing squiggly

[zealous glen]

I remember them being green or red

[civic solstice]

i dont see a closing yellow bracket

[slim ferry]

after the cost

[civic solstice]

oh the parenthesis

[slim ferry]

yeah

[civic solstice]

okay i fixed everything

[slim ferry]

ok

and then the silent should be after the table

[sharp arch]

also which values do I return true to limit dupes of cards in SMODS.Showman

[slim ferry]

so you have ("triboulet", { the whole table thing }, true)

[slim ferry]

you could check how many of the card you already have manually

but the function itself only returns true or false

[sharp arch]

ah ok

[civic solstice]

that did not work

[civic solstice]

even after moving the silent line

[civic solstice]

okay so going back to this old setup for detecting what card gets played could i theoretically replace the numbers with strings of the respective ranks

so example instead of 11 itd be 'Jack'

and so on

[slim ferry]

11 should work

but also for checking face cards its :is_face()

[civic solstice]

it doesnt

[frosty rampart]

just check context.other_card:is_face() unless there's a specific reason why you only want jacks/queens/kings

[civic solstice]

yea that didnt work either

[frosty rampart]

elaborate on "didn't work"

and i'll leave eris to help you because i need to do irl stuff

[civic solstice]

the trib didnt score the 2x on the jack at all

[civic solstice]

@slim ferry

[slim ferry]

uhhhhhh

does pareidolia work

with is_face

[civic solstice]

1 sec

ill check that rq

okay weird no it doesnt

i also have to change the description for trib which seeing how that went an hour or 2 ago i think ill leave that for another day lol

[slim ferry]

i mean trib already has the loc_vars

so that wont be an issue

[civic solstice]

fair

but yea no peradolia doesnt work at all with is_face()

probably because the if statement has both that and the old setup divided by an or thing

[willow scroll]

ok no bump two is there no way to make it so a deck sets a scoring calculation once at the start of the run?

wait no i might be stupid

[fluid steppe]

anyone know how i'd. fix this

[chrome widget]

he's wide

[red flower]

make the jokerdisplay wider

[fluid steppe]

-# the +4 mult is a placeholder

[fluid steppe]

how

[red flower]

idk actually

[fluid steppe]

eh it's fine

im referring to the stickers

[willow scroll]

wait a second thats not how stickers work

[red flower]

how are you changing the size

[fluid steppe]

i'm not i'm rotating the card.chidren.center and card.children.back

[red flower]

why

[fluid steppe]

this is in a toml thing

because i dont want to make a whole nother atlas for it idk!!!

[red flower]

does the joker have the two modes

[fluid steppe]

wdym

[red flower]

or is it always sideways

[civic solstice]

okay ima come back to this later i gtg

the trick or treaters are (probably) waiting

[fluid steppe]

always sideways

[red flower]

then just make another atlas..

[civic solstice]

goodbye chat o/

[fluid steppe]

no!! im stubborn

[red flower]

why

[fluid steppe]

because i am idk

[red flower]

there are functions for this specific thing

[fluid steppe]

what are they

[willow scroll]

ok im still stupid but
G.GAME.current_scoring_calculation = SMODS.Scoring_Calculations["maxboism_bribe"]:new()
am i forced to call this every round or smth because i see 3 functions for a scoring calc and the load just crashes if i replace the new() with load()

[red flower]

pixel_size and display_size

[fluid steppe]

oh i have pixel_size but not display_size

[red flower]

check vanillaremade's square joker

idk which one it uses

[fluid steppe]

..i just ctrl-f'd "squoker"

because thats what i tend to call it

[red flower]

squok

[fluid steppe]

yeah it uses pixel size

[willow scroll]

im the squoker baby

[willow scroll]

~~im not smart enough to read source code i need docs 😭 ~~

[red flower]

hmm then idk

[fluid steppe]

where do the stickers even get placed

i might be able to mess w that

ok it's not center.children
