[hardy viper]

i think it's on the github now

it might drop alongside 0.9.0 in the upcoming weeks

[dusty fractal]

when you follow an argument to chime in about the topic

i think its pretty reasonable to assume

so im gonna respond with the point that i dont think X

if thats not what you meant, no harm done

i HAVE just spent the past 5 minutes being verbally berated by someone with 0 competency and clearly lacking understanding of programming

[tall wharf]

i personally avoid using patches unless necessary

...9 files of patches later

[chrome widget]

I typically avoid patches at all costs because I consider them a lot more fragile, even though the resulting code is less efficient

Since there's still a lot of performance overhead for a lot of players, I don't think the performance cost of calling functions a few levels deeper matters much in most cases

[versed swan]

lovely panics feel emotionally worse than balatro crashes hence I avoid and acticely reduce patches whenever possible

[young leaf]

my goodness this has been a fight
it really feels like there is no good way to check for if card has both a specific suit and a specific rank in the same calculate function

[wind steppe]

it's called is_suit and get_id

[chrome widget]

It's just more that esp since SMODS code has become a lot more comprehensive and overrides a lot of vanilla functions, it's far less likely I'll need to redress a hook for a vanilla function than a patch if I follow the same function signature

[wind steppe]

why are you checking context.individual and the cardarea twice

[chrome widget]

Patches break pretty regularly with new SMODS updates for some of my more "intrusive" features, so since I can't guarantee people won't have a dev branch or a future version, hooks are generally safer for compatibility

[novel violet]

we take those

[chrome widget]

Not that it doesn't happen obv, I learned only recently that I'd been using a broken hook for the vanilla get_straight() function that has 1 arg when the SMODS override has 4, so it's not universal, but a couple times when I've done SMODS PRs Eremel and co have stressed to avoid changing function args

[versed swan]

Tbh if someone likes patches more than hooks, good for them - I don't understand the fuss over it, live and let live

[mystic river]

patches and hooks both have their use cases

i prefer most of my code to be in my files, but sometimes the best way to do that is to use a patch to insert a function call

[umbral zodiac]

patches are evil because i dont get to use my beautiful lua

[chrome widget]

There's not fuss over that so much as people can only explain their personal use cases and heuristics for it. Explaining why you use one or the other and your reasoning for it isn't "not letting live" other programmers

[wind steppe]

patches are better than hooks because the hook discards my gold cards

[umbral zodiac]

truth

[chrome widget]

And ultimately programmers benefit from seeing discrete examples and reasoning for certain programming patterns because they're rarely obvious on the onset

[dusty fractal]

gotten back from leaving because i was ''''ragebaiting'''' you?

[faint yacht]

-# If I could do less of a destructive patch for my scoring antics... it surely would be safer.

[dusty fractal]

me when i have a basic opinion that patches and hooks are inherently unstable by nature and that id prefer to not use them if its already implemented

[wind steppe]

why are you trying to restart this

yes im back though

[dusty fractal]

because you insulted me, lol?

wdym

[wind steppe]

a: where
b: why is that a reason to restart this or insult me back

surely youre trying to be the bigger person here

[dusty fractal]

what?

you picked a random fight why are you pretending to care about that

[sturdy compass]

Picking it back up is not the move good lord

[dusty fractal]

the conversation hasnt even moved on from the topic

its been less than an hour

i literally went and got some food and came back lol

[sturdy compass]

So? Stirring the pot benefits nobody

[dusty fractal]

so what do u suggest? just let people walk all over me?

[wind steppe]

be civil probably

[dusty fractal]

i would be civil if you were civil in the first place

[wind steppe]

if there is a place where i did insult you please point it out

[dusty fractal]

i just did

alright let me repeat:

[wind steppe]

i dont see it

[dusty fractal]

you called my honest opinion 'bait' and then ran off after calling me both wrong and unreasonable

foe xample:

you picked a fight over the most lukewarm take ive possibly ever given

[wind steppe]

i called it ragebait at the time because, simply, i was getting frustrated and the wording sounded extreme

which is a factor in ragebait

[dusty fractal]

i just dont see where i said anything extreme or crazy

like where did i say anything even remotely outrageous

i think that i had and still ahve a pretty reasonable point that i didnt deviate from

[wind steppe]

the wording (at least to me) implies that you would do nearly anything else except for hooks and patches

[umbral zodiac]

i think that leaving it be would honestly be better than continuing to argue just for the love of the game

you dont have to be equal with everyone if they disrespect you , you could just be the bigger person and move on

[dusty fractal]

okay

[wind steppe]

mb for the misinterpretation

[dusty fractal]

but i want to know what i said that made this person think that

thats why im asking

[wind steppe]

second message in the most recent screenshot

cba to type it out

also you called hooks unstable

[dusty fractal]

yeah. because they are.

thats what hooks are.

[wind steppe]

which would give a good reason for you to try and avoid hooks at all costs

[wind steppe]

don't restart this

[dusty fractal]

they're inserting code.

[wind steppe]

it helps nobody

[dusty fractal]

restart what dude

[wind steppe]

the argument

[dusty fractal]

its literally a fundemental property of hooks across languages

this isnt an argument you are just factually incorrect

[umbral zodiac]

he's literally not fighting your claim 🥀

[dusty fractal]

yes he is

[wind steppe]

frankly you're making yourself look immature

[dusty fractal]

i want to understand

why are hooks not unstable

like have i just missed something

[wind steppe]

im not a lua expert but basically everyone can testify to hooks almost never causing issues based off of it just being a hook

i dont actually know too much about what goes on behind the scenes but this issue just generally doesn't exist

[frosty rampart]

they're not "hooks" in a standard sense, it's maybe not a great name but what can you do

it's just overriding a function
with a good hook, there's no instability. any instability comes from either not checking the inputs properly or not calling the original function properly

[wind steppe]

if you have a counterexample feel free to show me

[dusty fractal]

then why tf are you arguing about it

if you self admittedly dont know what you're talking about

why you gotta leap in to call me wrong when you dont have any knowledge about the subject

[wind steppe]

maybe i wouldve been proven wrong

[sturdy compass]

Patches are inserting code

Not hooks

[dusty fractal]

yes

[wind steppe]

ive used hooks i know what they do

i do have knowledge from experience

[dusty fractal]

okay thats a fair one

[wind steppe]

and also

if you were correct then i wouldve learned something

and i wouldve changed my ways

[dusty fractal]

i dont mean literal insertion of code strictly, but both achieve a similar end result

im not saying that hooks are bad and i dont think you shouldnt use them

i use hooks and patches

[wind steppe]

i'm not victin i don't argue just to say i'm always correct

[frosty rampart]

from what i can see, this is an argument about literally nothing

[dusty fractal]

i just dont understand why you lept on me saying 'i'd prefer to use implementation from the game and SMODS instead of them'

[wind steppe]

i try to improve

[dusty fractal]

the guy insulted me over nothing and i got annoyed

i feel like thats pretty reasonable

[mossy minnow]

i love the reactionary sentiment of two parties

[frosty rampart]

paradox hopped on this because, from what i can tell, you came off as if you were trying to avoid hooking get_id and is_face when that's standard protocol

[wind steppe]

this

[mossy minnow]

because i get to see two idiots arguing over nothing ☕

[dusty fractal]

i asked a basic question and then got a non-response

[ashen drift]

love2d

[dusty fractal]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dusty fractal]

bro knows where its at

[wind steppe]

it wasn't a response to the question you directly asked, yes

[umbral zodiac]

i am lionel shrike from the hit movie now you see me

[wind steppe]

however thats not always what people actually need

see: https://xyproblem.info/

[frosty rampart]

i think it's time to cease this discussion, there's nothing to be gained on either side from continuing. if you're trying to make content that makes cards count as face cards, you should hook is_face because that's the only way other content checks if something is a face. if you're trying to make content that makes cards count as multiple ranks at once, you should just wait for the quantum ranks PR to be merged into SMODS because it's not worth the effort to do it yourself (unless you're willing to muck around in a bunch of patches)

[mossy minnow]

just stop fucking arguing both of you holy fuck shit said this shit said that thank you
the back and forth proved futile if nobody got to reach a conclusion

[dusty fractal]

YES

that is what i was fucking asking about in the first place

i wanted to know if quantum ranks had been merged yet

ffs

[frosty rampart]

you could have checked by searching for "quantum ranks" in the smods pull request list

[dusty fractal]

i couldnt remember what it was actually called

[frosty rampart]

oh that's fair

[dusty fractal]

so i asked here

[frosty rampart]

but yea it's still not merged

[dusty fractal]

damn

that sucks

any idea when its getting merged

[ashen drift]

shrug

its been there for a while

[sturdy compass]

Not a clue

[dusty fractal]

[sturdy compass]

Not even the smods devs know

[dusty fractal]

its balatrover

[frosty rampart]

current status

[mossy minnow]

what is quantum ranks

[dusty fractal]

it allows cards to be multiple ranks

[frosty rampart]

making cards count as multiple ranks at once, much like quantum enhancements

[mossy minnow]

oh my god

ts could be peak...

[dusty fractal]

ts

[ashen drift]

it really could

[dusty fractal]

🥀

[mossy minnow]

also astra i like clarification over me assuming >:[

[wind steppe]

wait how the fuck are they doing steven and todd with this

[dusty fractal]

??

thats literally part of its intended function

[frosty rampart]

i assume if any of the ranks on a card is even/odd then it procs steven/todd

[ashen drift]

it uses modulo iirc

[wind steppe]

i know the current implementation uses modulo

[dusty fractal]

it uses modulo??

what you mean Odd Todd and Steven?

[frosty rampart]

oh right they added a whole new is_parity function to cards

[wind steppe]

code-wise i mean

[ashen drift]

it does

[frosty rampart]

card:is_parity(0) checks if it's even, card:is_parity(1) checks if it's odd

[wind steppe]

oh sick

[ashen drift]

oh thats cool

[wind steppe]

problem solved

[frosty rampart]

herer's the function code

[dusty fractal]

neat

[frosty rampart]

so you define the parity in the rank itself

non-number cards (face cards) have parity = nil

[wind steppe]

get_ranks is interesting

[frosty rampart]

it's pretty much just the same as SMODS.get_enhancements when quantum enhancements are in play
there's also card:is_rank(), which behaves like card:is_suit()

[ashen drift]

will this break card:get_id or is it just replaced with card:is_rank now

[wind steppe]

i assume get_id is still around for backwards compat

[frosty rampart]

it won't break it, but it'd be like checking card.base.suit instead of using card:is_suit()

[wind steppe]

if get_id was removed it would break every mod ever

[modest sedge]

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but is it possible to make a consumable (type X) that gives $2 for each time a consumable of type X is used in the run (e.g. if type X consumables are used 4 times, then give $8)? I'm still very new to Lua and I studied a few thingies but I don't know what to do

[daring fern]

ease_dollars(G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.key*2)

[modest sedge]

IT WAS THAT EASY???

thank you so much

so do i just
```use = function(self, card, area, copier)
card.ability.extra.bonus = G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.typex * 2
bonus = card.ability.extra.bonus
ease_dollars(bonus)
end

[daring fern]

Yes.

[modest sedge]

nice

[chrome widget]

Collecting a collage of all the art I did for my mods for resume purposes

[gusty iron]

how would i make something happen when a card is clicked?

[daring fern]

Hook Card:click

[gusty iron]

charms my beloved

[young leaf]

i have a weird question
this is trading card's code from vanillaremake

    key = "trading",
    blueprint_compat = false,
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 6,
    pos = { x = 9, y = 14 },
    config = { extra = { dollars = 3 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.dollars } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.first_hand_drawn then
            local eval = function() return G.GAME.current_round.discards_used == 0 and not G.RESET_JIGGLES end
            juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
        end
        if context.discard and not context.blueprint and
            G.GAME.current_round.discards_used <= 0 and #context.full_hand == 1 then
            return {
                dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars,
                remove = true
            }
        end
    end
}```
what part of this code destroys the card?
ive been making a version of trading card but with first discard being replaced with first hand and cant seem to get it to trigger
it does the jiggle animation and stops after the first hand is played but doesnt do anything else

[gusty iron]

i mean in terms of cards on a cardarea ui

[gusty iron]

-# im trying to make it change the thing on the right when you click one but literally nothing is happening

[young leaf]

i decided to add some code from sixth sense to get the destroying to happen
uhm

oh thats weird my recording only captured my cursor

to clarify: i played 5 cards, it gave me over 100 dollars (it was meant to give me 15), then destroyed both the hand that was just played and everything held in hand

[young leaf]

i have embraced the glitch

[bold gyro]

hey y'all, is there a way to check if a new run starts? hooking Game:start_run seems to not work, as it is also called when re-entering a run?

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/The-Mod-Object#modreset_game_globalsrun_start

[obtuse silo]

how does one set up a mod icon?

[umbral spire]

( #1434965243720892426 ) what would be the tooltip for this block? I know when to use it but not exactly what it checks for ;-;

[red flower]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[willow scroll]

i may be stupid how can i make it so a joker sets a blind to a different blind without jank shenanigans

if context.ending_shop then
            for i,v in pairs(G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices) do
                if v ~= "bl_maxboism_thesky" then
                    G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices[i] = "bl_maxboism_thesky"
                end
            end
        end

i have this but it complains about my blind not having boss defined even if i start a big blind for example

SMODS.Blind {
    key = "thesky",
    dollars = 1,
    mult = 0.5,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    atlas = "CustomBlinds",
    discovered = true,
    boss_colour = HEX("8b0307"),
}

boss_colour is needed or else it crashes if i hover over it in collections 😭

[long sun]

in controller.lua, there is the line self.cursor_up.target = self.hovering.target or self.focused.target

i've inspected self.cursor_up.target but it doesn't seem to be a Card

so, how can i check if the deselected thing is a card, and has a specific ID?

[umbral spire]

my internet is fine? (this is in git bash, windows 10 btw) why won't this work?

[[hidden]] MINGW64 ~/Desktop/JokerBlocks (main)
$ ping github.com
Ping request could not find host github.com. Please check the name and try again
.

[long sun]

try https://github.com

[red flower]

self.cursor_up.target:is(Card)?

[umbral spire]

$ ping https://github.com/
Ping request could not find host https://github.com/. Please check the name and
try again.

[long sun]

mm

[long sun]

will try, but the object doesn't look like a card

[obtuse silo]

how would i modify this code to:
A: make the video cover the entire window
B: close the video when the video finishes?

[red flower]

i mean it depends on what is being hovered

[umbral spire]

my computer hates git/github bro 😭😭

[long sun]

it's when i deselect a card, i checked that object and it seemed uncardlike ^^;

but ya i'll give it a go

[willow scroll]

what would be the proper way to replace the blinds because i am not knowledgeable in blinds

[keen atlas]

can you connect with another device on same network

[red flower]

if you give it a boss table does it still crash

[umbral spire]

wdym?

[keen atlas]

can you connect to github from different device

[umbral spire]

i dont have another computer

[keen atlas]

can you connect with browser?

[umbral spire]

wha?

[keen atlas]

can you open github from browser

[umbral spire]

yeah?

works fine

[keen atlas]

hmm

[long sun]

returning false

[long sun]

i think i'm just gonna remove the functionality altogether ^^;

it's for an annoying easter egg

and it gets in the way

[willow scroll]

it doesnt crash but then it treats a every blind as a boss and then goes to the next ante when beaten

[long sun]

what is this

can i turn this off

[red flower]

i would just do that and patch that out until smods add more blind support

thats what i did for hotpot

[willow scroll]

i see, and i would patch which function if you happen to remember?

[keen atlas]

ping doesnt take leading https

[obtuse silo]

i have a feeling it's something to do with the local vid_sprite but idk how i'd get it to fill the window

[keen atlas]

what abt nslookup github.com?

[red flower]

i think its these two patches https://github.com/the-Astra/Hot-Potato/blob/34a5d60d3bb3e115bc44cceab1f64e80b0a015c2/lovely/pdr_events.toml#L33

[umbral spire]

wait am i s'posed to show address-

[willow scroll]

thank you 🙏

[keen atlas]

nothing was leaked

[umbral spire]

oh ok

[keen atlas]

so uh you might wanna try setting up dns server, try this one https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/setup/windows/

[umbral spire]

and then what? do i click install...?

or Ok?

[keen atlas]

no you dont need to install anything

set this one

[umbral spire]

?

[keen atlas]

properties

[umbral spire]

oh

[umbral spire]

then OK?

[keen atlas]

set the ipv6 too

[umbral spire]

same as ipv4?

settings

[keen atlas]

no

2606:4700:4700::1111
2606:4700:4700::1001

[umbral spire]

which one?

?

[keen atlas]

ok

[umbral spire]

thats it?

[keen atlas]

yeah

try pinging again

[keen atlas]

weird

[umbral spire]

fr

[umbral spire]

so what do i do now ;-;

[keen atlas]

idk.......

did you set up proxy by any chance

[umbral spire]

?

[keen atlas]

nvm

[red flower]

have you tried another terminal lol

[umbral spire]

yes

[keen atlas]

did you set ipv4 as 2606:4700:4700::1111 or 1.1.1.1

[umbral spire]

1.1.1.1

?

[keen atlas]

hm idk then

[umbral spire]

you cant anyways

[obtuse silo]

how do i check the contents of my consumable slots again-

[wind steppe]

G.consumeables.cards

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-the-cards-in-an-area

[umbral spire]

I am genuinely confused on why my computer cant ping github

[obtuse silo]

well i got the game to instantly crash which was kinda the point but not what i was going for-

[umbral spire]

@keen atlas does this tell you anything?

[keen atlas]

no

[umbral spire]

dang it

[keen atlas]

can you still access github from browser though

[umbral spire]

yes?

[keen atlas]

ok cool

[crystal perch]

changing it to pairs does work, but it's having trouble calculating the difference
as shown in the screenshot, it sees Clubs = 3, Diamonds = 2, and Spades = 3 as the original hand and Clubs = 3, Hearts = 2, and Spades = 3 as the new hand.
expected behaviour should be difference = 2, as the two diamonds became two hearts, but instead it's calculating difference = 0, i'm assuming because it's comparing the diamonds to hearts as if they were the same suit when they aren't

i'm going to try and math this out, there's def some missing logic, but just figured i'd mention it

[red flower]

i always find it helpful to write these things on paper to figure out the logic

[willow scroll]

is there a nice way to check if youre inside the "small blind" slot or "big blind" slot

for the patch

[red flower]

no idea

[keen atlas]

what about nslookup github.com 1.1.1.1

[willow scroll]

might just make a separate blind thats exactly the same otherwise for the boss because i straight up dont see a way to check 😭

[umbral spire]

i forgot to scribble the user name 😭
-# not that bad, not my full name or anything anyways

[willow scroll]

actually how do other mods that add replacement blinds for small/big handle it

[crystal perch]

i have, this is the expected behaviour

[umbral spire]

and in git bash

[umbral spire]

didn't you say something abt my firewall yesterday?

[keen atlas]

nvm abt it cuz i never use it

[umbral spire]

ah alr

does this tell you anything?

[keen atlas]

can you try unchecking the ipv6

[keen atlas]

no

[umbral spire]

and ping?

[obtuse silo]

is there any way to get the dimensions of the game window?

[keen atlas]

love.window.getMode https://love2d.org/wiki/love.window.getMode

[keen atlas]

yeah

[umbral spire]

should i check it back?

[keen atlas]

yeah sure

[crystal perch]

okay so the problem is that it's only looking for suit_keys in og_suits for the for loop, not in new_suits, so if a suit doesn't exist in og_suits but does exist in new_suits it just skips over it which means i gotta rewrite it so it takes that into account when setting up the for loop

[keen atlas]

try open notepad as admin, then edit C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, then add 20.205.243.166 github.com

btw what abt ping 20.205.243.166 before you added it?

[red flower]

yeah i said that in my first reply about this :3

[red flower]

this is more a description of the problem rather than the logic of the solution

[umbral spire]

wait what-

[keen atlas]

its a bit hacky but give it a try

[umbral spire]

?

[umbral spire]

wdym by edit?

[keen atlas]

you edit the file C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

[umbral spire]

how-

[keen atlas]

file > open

[umbral spire]

?

[keen atlas]

yeah?

[umbral spire]

what do i do??

[keen atlas]

or C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc then click hosts

[keen atlas]

the hosts file is supposed to be there 🤔

[hardy viper]

make one if it isn't ig

[umbral spire]

with blank contents?

[keen atlas]

this
20.205.243.166 github.com

[umbral spire]

uh i created it but it disappeared

;-;

[keen atlas]

what

[umbral spire]

it's hidden or something?

[hardy viper]

oh probably

[frosty rampart]

change this

to all files

[hardy viper]

that or . windows..

oh bruh

my bad

[keen atlas]

i didnt notice that too

[umbral spire]

oh

so just add that add the bottom?

[keen atlas]

yeah

[umbral spire]

and then ping? (with nslookup or ping?)

[keen atlas]

both works

if doesnt try restarting your pc first

[willow scroll]

ok im incredibly salty why is almost every blind type check done with Blind:get_type() EXCEPT

if G.GAME.round_resets.blind == G.P_BLINDS.bl_small then
                            G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states.Small = 'Defeated'
                        elseif G.GAME.round_resets.blind == G.P_BLINDS.bl_big then
                            G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states.Big = 'Defeated'
                        else
                            G.GAME.current_round.voucher = SMODS.get_next_vouchers()
                            G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states.Boss = 'Defeated'
                            for k, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
                                v.ability.played_this_ante = nil
                            end
                        end

[shell timber]

are you sure there isnt any other line that changes github.com in there

[umbral spire]

this is different?

[keen atlas]

that works

[umbral spire]

so its good?

[willow scroll]

crack windows install wdym ping works but nslookup doesnt 😭

[keen atlas]

yeah try it

[hardy viper]

i imagine it's just a not having restarted thing

[willow scroll]

hopefully

[umbral spire]

its not 😭

[hardy viper]

nslookup is smart enough to not parse through the hosts file whenever you run the command

[willow scroll]

so everything works nicely if i just patch Blind:get_type EXCEPT the blind progression 😭

[candid acorn]

how can i spawn a random consumable?

kinda like cryptid does with the tarot card

i tried to find it

but theres literally no file for tarot cards in the mod for some reason

[slim ferry]

cryptid tarots are in misc iirc

but you can just use set = "Consumeables" in an SMODS.create_card or SMODS.add_card call

[candid acorn]

i tried this

[keen atlas]

does it work

[red flower]

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

[candid acorn]

but idk how to define the set

[slim ferry]

have you ever created a card before

[umbral spire]

no 🥀 anyways brb

[keen atlas]

😭

[slim ferry]

if not probably look into that first

[umbral spire]

different output tho

[umbral spire]

^

[keen atlas]

did you type yes?

[umbral spire]

no i just waited .2 seconds

[keen atlas]

type yes

or somethin

[willow scroll]

nvm the newround also does that

Can you do hex codes directly in {C:} for loc files?

[daring fern]

No.

[umbral spire]

No, try this. https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-add-my-own-custom-colors-to-use-in-descriptions

[willow scroll]

thjanks

[umbral spire]

bro i yapped on and on in a tech support server and even they couldn't help, im cooked

[umbral spire]

im actually going to crash out

[tight pumice]

Is there a context for purchasing a voucher?

[umbral spire]

oh typo

[tight pumice]

Or should I just use context.from_shop and go from there

[keen atlas]

umm

try remove then add again the remote url
if that doesnt work you might need to authenticate with ssh key / oauth

[daring fern]

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

[umbral spire]

??

[keen atlas]

can you try pushing from vscode

[umbral spire]

how

?

[umbral spire]

^?

[keen atlas]

this

[umbral spire]

oesns't work

it says this

but it still loads in vscode

igtg anyways

thanks for the help

[keen atlas]

kay

[turbid igloo]

guys how do i check the number that i scored? i tryed
calculate = function(self,card,context) if context.joker_main then local totalScore=SMODS.calculate_round_score() if totalScore>10 then return{ chips=10 } end end end
but it gives me an error

[red flower]

what's the error

[turbid igloo]

hold up

here

[slim ferry]

update steamodded

also preferrably just paste crashes you get in here rather than screenshotting two lines

[turbid igloo]

okok i didnt want to clutter the chat

[slim ferry]

discord turns it into a txt

well it shoudl

[frosty rampart]

if it's longer than the character limit it'll turn into a txt file

[slim ferry]

if not you can still do it manually

[keen atlas]

after 4kb

[turbid igloo]

ok thanks ill keep it in mind next time

[wintry solar]

Or just screenshot the full screen

[turbid igloo]

ok it works now thanks guys

[wintry solar]

That’s normally enough information for most crashes

[tall wharf]

im trying to make custom collection page with cards but when there's a card area in there it crashes

AKYRS.card_area_preview is a wrapper for card area things that works

i know it works because it's the same code on the description page that doesn't crash

[primal robin]

If your functions not wrap card area in object container then that's probably an issue

[tall wharf]

it does

[clear ocean]

https://youtu.be/xzy_0m7jwRw?si=ii8tzp3KKUPjndDs

[tall wharf]

got it

just move everythingto inside tab def functon

[civic solstice]

okay its back to figuring out why my discards arent being set to 0

[wintry solar]

What is mod

[civic solstice]

from this

[wintry solar]

No

[civic solstice]

but idk what mod is ngl i was just given this code ig

idk

[wintry solar]

That’s not how that works

[modest sedge]

What do I do if "typex" is a nil value

[mystic river]

add or 0 after it
but also make sure it's the right value; you might need to include your mod prefix

[modest sedge]

Ohhh okay thank you

[unkempt bronze]

Anyone know how to turn balatro into a zip folder without renaming it? I tried it that way and nothing.

[daring fern]

No, you don't need to do that you can just extract it.

[unkempt bronze]

How do I do that?

I have a copy of Balatro on my desktop, how do I extract it?

[unkempt bronze]

How do I extract it? It's not in a zip folder!

[modest sedge]

So is this correct

    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        card.ability.extra.bonus = (G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.jabm_typex or 0) * 2
        bonus = card.ability.extra.bonus
        ease_dollars(bonus)
    end,```

[daring fern]

No, consumable types don't use mod prefixes.

[daring fern]

Do you have third party extraction software installed?

[unkempt bronze]

Not to my knowledge, no

[slim ferry]

download 7zip

or really any 3rd party thing

[modest sedge]

fair
but it's still giving me $0 every time so uhhh

[slim ferry]

becasuse most of them let you extract exes

[unkempt bronze]

Thank you, Eris

[modest sedge]

Yeah 7zip or WinRAR will get the job done

[unkempt bronze]

somehow, still won't allow me. Just.. no extraction button

[unkempt bronze]

uh....

[slim ferry]

right click

on the file

[unkempt bronze]

I am

I see open, run as admin, all the usual stuff but no Open With... and dragging it physically says it's invalid.

[slim ferry]

?

[unkempt bronze]

?

I see no 7-zip. flat as it gets, and it is downloaded!

[slim ferry]

did you actually run the 7zip installer

it should show up if you click > right click > more options > 7zip

[unkempt bronze]

I click on it, it says "program files/7zip".

I don't know where that even is!

[slim ferry]

okay well thats correct i assume

can you use 7zip on a regular zip

[unkempt bronze]

lemme check...

[clear ocean]

what's enhancement_gate

[slim ferry]

because if it isnt anywhere thats probably the issue

[slim ferry]

prevents spawning of a card unless you have at least 1 card with the given enhancement in your deck

[frosty rampart]

(e.g. how lucky cat won't spawn in-game unless you have a lucky card in your deck)

[clear ocean]

speaking about lucky cat

inspired by this #🃏・off-topic message

[slim ferry]

wee cat

[clear ocean]

which name is best

lucky kitten
wee cat
wee kitty
wee kitten
wee lucky cat
wee lucky kitten

[unkempt bronze]

Now to finally figure out how to button a button.

[clear ocean]

maybe have it related to a lucky card triggering or not?

[normal crest]

you're missing "Chips" after X0.25

presumably

[frosty rampart]

small gains when a lucky card scores, larger gains when a lucky card triggers a lucky effect (but still smaller than X0.25)

[clear ocean]

yeah sorry

[normal crest]

unforgivable

[tall wharf]

game breakin bug

[clear ocean]

pulling my ukulele out for this

a father, his son, their cat, and her litter

[civic solstice]

okay guys uh i now that i fixed the no discards deck im making a deck thats entirely 4s now but its lowk just not working

da code

[gusty iron]

I have a deck thats literally all 2s so if you can wait for me to get home i can help

[civic solstice]

how long?

[clear ocean]

wee deck

[gusty iron]

20ish mins?

[clear ocean]

its just the red deck but the display size is the wee joker size

[civic solstice]

sounds good

[gusty iron]

The only catch is that after each round all cards have a 1 in [Rank] chance to rank up

[civic solstice]

i gotchu alr

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/DeckOf4s.lua

[civic solstice]

oh okay ty

[clear ocean]

should it be .2 or .1?

[unkempt bronze]

Found exactly what I wanted! hahahahahaha!!!

[civic solstice]

okay no this isnt working either

[clear ocean]

and its one of the locked jokers for this mod

is five enough

[daring fern]

Code?

[clear ocean]

maybe it should be more

[daring fern]

Remove the {} around only_one_rank = '4'

[clear ocean]

idk i mean its a rare locked joker it should be a bit harder to unlock?

[gusty compass]

I feel like it should be a bit less since retriggers will increase the xchips rampant

[clear ocean]

yeah fair point

[civic solstice]

okay that worked lol

this looks so fucked

[gusty compass]

+X0.2 for every scored lucky card would be a bit too potent, so perhaps +X0.1 or +X0.05

[clear ocean]

.1 i think is a fair balance since its still a rare joker and meant to be like the wee joker for xchips

[gusty compass]

👍

[clear ocean]

#🃏・off-topic message btw this how i got the inspiration

[gusty compass]

Btw where can I hook a function upon the shop appearing, since I'm trying to get a joker that stays in a specific slot in the shop until it is either bought or it breaks after 3 shops

[gusty iron]

"Hey balatro, whats 2{n}2, where n belongs to the set of natural numbers?"

Balatro:

[civic solstice]

^

[gusty iron]

I love how 2 raised to itself in ANY hyperoperation is just 4

[tall wharf]

hi

[gusty iron]

hikoyori

[clear ocean]

maybe 10 or 13 lucky cards since the gemstone jokers are 30 for a suit?

[gusty iron]

Not 13...

13 unlucky...,.,

[clear ocean]

wait a minute

say that again

[gusty compass]

Have a whole hand of lucky cards

[gusty iron]

That again

[civic solstice]

now i just need more ideas for other decks and the 2 question marked decks

[clear ocean]

so something similar to golden ticket

[gusty compass]

I guess so

[clear ocean]

maybe i mean the reason why its gold since it only is a held in effect

[tall wharf]

yessss

[gusty iron]

All cards come back when destroyed could be a good idea for reanimated

[unkempt bronze]

  G.splapp_config = G.splapp_config or {}
  G.FUNCS.DT_lose_game = function() 
    if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then 
        G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER; G.STATE_COMPLETE = false 
    end 
    end
 local t = {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config = {align = 'cm', r = 0.1}, nodes={
      UIBox_dyn_container({
      {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", padding = 0.15}, nodes={
        {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "cm", padding = 0.15}, nodes={
          UIBox_button{ label = {"One"}, button = "DT_lose_game", minw = 1.7, minh = 0.4, scale = 0.35},
          UIBox_button{ label = {"Two"}, button = "DT_lose_game", minw = 1.7, minh = 0.4, scale = 0.35},
        }},
        {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "cm", padding = 0.15}, nodes={
          UIBox_button{ label = {"Three"}, button = "DT_lose_game", minw = 1.7, minh = 0.4, scale = 0.35},
          UIBox_button{ label = {"Four"}, button = "DT_lose_game", minw = 1.7, minh = 0.4, scale = 0.35},
        }}
      }}
      }, true)
  }}
  return t
end```
All's left is to time it like yahiamod, scale each one right, and add the question at the top! 
-# I CAN CODE A BUTTON NOW!!

[civic solstice]

thatd be cool but what would the caveat of the deck be

[gusty iron]

You cant thin your deck

[clear ocean]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ6sp-uHxrc

[civic solstice]

oh thats actually kinda the gimmick for this entire mod ngl lmao ill go with that

tyvm

[gusty iron]

Ywyw

And also any card you get would be PERMANENTLY added to your deck, so you have to be careful with what you pick up.

[clear ocean]

i have an idea

play a hand with both glass and lucky cards

since broken glass is a sign of unluck and typically you don't want to play both since both rely on probability

[gusty compass]

Sure 👍

[civic solstice]

not sure how id code that?

i can try tho

actually i can just make it so those cards come back as well

i have an idea of how to do that

[gusty compass]

I'm thinking if the card destroyed is that card, just copy it?

[civic solstice]

yea

similar to how dna works

i can code that, for sure

[gusty compass]

Maybe it can use some sort of Returning sticker that just clones it upon destruction

[civic solstice]

nah this is the entire deck

[gusty compass]

Then go ahead

[slim ferry]

i mean if all cards get returned when destroyed just make it a deck calculate right

[civic solstice]

probably

[gusty compass]

Yea context.remove_playing_cards could work

for k, v in pairs(context.removed) do

end

Yadda yadda

[gusty compass]

Would that work with 1 lucky and 4 glass?

[clear ocean]

yeah

as long you have one of each and its a five card hand

[gusty compass]

That's cool

[clear ocean]

idk if the last line has too much characters for an unlock especially for other languages

[gusty compass]

Btw would anyone know how I would hook a function to when a shop appears, or being able to attach buttons to jokers in the shop globally instead of when on_apply is fired

[clear ocean]

idk much about hooks sorry

[gusty compass]

😔

[clear ocean]

all is left is jokerdisplay support

i think it works

[civic solstice]

okay i literally just copied the majority of DNAs code and altered some tiny bits lol

watch this not work

[red flower]

not to be rude but have you tried making simple jokers first

[civic solstice]

yes

ive made like 5

[gusty compass]

What is end doing in line 25 😭

[civic solstice]

befpre this

[unkempt bronze]

My first was a DNA clone, and it works!

[hardy viper]

bad indent, it's fine

[gusty compass]

Oh alr

[red flower]

you made simple mistakes there that you wouldn't make if you did tho

[civic solstice]

idk but it bitches at me if i delete it so it stays

[hardy viper]

press shift+alt+f

it will fix the formatting

should make it clear what the end is doing

[gusty compass]

Isn't there some sort of extension that formats code cleanly

[hardy viper]

prettier, yeah, but lua formatter is just fine

[civic solstice]

wdym

[civic solstice]

also it didnt work but at least it didnt crash my game lol

[gusty compass]

I found some trouble with the original formatter so I just find the new one better

[unkempt bronze]

How not work?

[gusty compass]

Even if it shits around with most of my lists

When I don't want it to 🥀

[civic solstice]

i hung 2 random cards and it didnt bring them back when the round ended

[unkempt bronze]

Ah. Maybe make a table?

[gusty compass]

context.end_of_round and context.game_over?

[civic solstice]

i was thinking it was a context issue

[red flower]

1. DeckCount doesn't exist by itself, it's in config
2. eval doesn't exist in that conditional block below
3. context.full_hand is not a thing in end_of_round

also like tomato said there are problems with the syntax

[gusty compass]

Does your cards duplicate when you lose?

[red flower]

the first one makes me think you never made a balatro object before or you didn't learn anything

[civic solstice]

theyre supposed to bring back any destroyed cards from the round before

[civic solstice]

ik very little but im slowly learning my man

[gusty compass]

You could create a value in G and save it there?

[tall wharf]

how would you save card info

[gusty compass]

No?

Alr

[red flower]

that's why I recommended doing simpler stuff

[gusty compass]

😔

[unkempt bronze]

You can save a value, but not in G

[tall wharf]

n what if i serialise cards and save it into game table

[red flower]

what if

[tall wharf]

when it gets destroyed

[gusty compass]

So G should be left alone?

And you could use G.GAME?

[red flower]

idk i just save my cards to cardareas

[frosty rampart]

there's no reason to save anything to anything global when you can just save a table of card data inside the joker itself

[tall wharf]

i know the art of cardareas

[gusty compass]

It's a deck

[frosty rampart]

deck, whatever

[gusty compass]

Actually, save the cards to a deck config

[civic solstice]

i have 8 decks in this mod so far and of those 8 maybe like 5 or 6 are relatively simple and have worked either first try or with minimal bugfixing

trust me ive done simpler stuff

[gusty compass]

Then at the end of round, sift through the config of the deck and copy as such

[red flower]

you don't need to justify yourself to me, I'm just giving advice from what I'm seeing you post here

[civic solstice]

ya ik ik

[gusty compass]

Btw N, I was gonna ask, what could I use to attach functions to when a shop appears, since I want to see how I can have jokers and consumables persist between shops in a special shop slot

[red flower]

save them to a cardarea :3

maybe look at the black market in hotpot

[gusty compass]

Fair idea, I'm not sure where to look for how cardareas are used but ig I can try tmrw

[frosty rampart]

here's how I'd do the deck

• every time a playing card is destroyed, save its suit, rank, enhancement, edition, and probably its whole ability table. all of this goes in a table, inside another table inside the deck's config (i.e. there's a table for each card's data inside a single table)
• at end of round, loop over the big table and re-create the cards, and then reset the big table to be empty

[gusty compass]

Or you can save the card to the deck config directly, since they are all objects after all

Unless I'm wrong

[frosty rampart]

do not

saving card objects inside other objects breaks with saves

[gusty compass]

Ok 🥀

[frosty rampart]

it'll behave fine until you quit the game and come back later

[civic solstice]

so how would i save all the cards properties in the table?

[gusty compass]

I was meaning like emplace it in config = {} but I guess I'm the newbie

[frosty rampart]

they're variables in tables. you save them.

[daring fern]

No, you would use card:save()

[frosty rampart]

oh hell yea that works

i figured the save/load stuff was hardcoded to save and load to/from the save files

[clear ocean]

is this fine in the collection i am still not sure if its too long at least for the third and last line

[crystal perch]

that's fine yeah

i'd say as long as the description isn't longer than like, obelisk, you're good

[civic solstice]

i tried

[willow scroll]

evil screenshot

[crystal perch]

quick question how can i make a challenge that uses a whitelist for jokers instead of a blacklist, without just banning every joker other than the ones i allow

[daring fern]

You can't, but banned_cards can be a function.

[crystal perch]

yes but then it would make the banned cards tab super full
i guess it can't be helped :/

[clear ocean]

is the unlock condition clear? basically play a high card but it has to be an ace

gotta love it

    locked_loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { localize('High Card', 'poker_hands') } }
    end,
    check_for_unlock = function(self, args)
        local highCard = false local ace = false
        if args.type == 'round_win' then highCard = G.GAME.last_hand_played == 'High Card' and G.GAME.blind.boss end
        if args.type == 'hand_contents' then ace = #args.cards[1]:get_id() == 14 end
        if highCard and ace then return true end
        return false
    end
``` not sure if i did it right. lol.

is it because it only checks for one of the args.type and skips the other or something

gotta get ready for work and ill be working for the next six hours. uh, just mention me if you know how to fix this

here's the full source just in case

[daring fern]

card:get_id() returns a number not a table.

[civic solstice]

im fuckin struggling

LOL

[broken rivet]

somehow the scaling here is just not activating at all

wait huh

ok idk what the fuck is going on

it's not that

it's the joker_main part

oh

i forgot a return

[hardy vessel]

I'm trying to make a blueprint-like joker that only copies (left + right) jokers of a specific pool. I had the copy effect working fine, but I can't seem to have the joker properly check if other jokers pass the pool check. I'm not exactly sure what is wrong, so any help would be appreciated!

[slim ferry]

config.center.pools is a table of pools

you want to loop over G.P_CENTER_POOLS["hch_food"] and see if its in there

(Also a food pool with the key Food is very common so more mods will have compat with that

[red flower]

you can do (joker.config.center.pools or {}).hch_food to check

[slim ferry]

wont that only be there for jokers that have that pool defined via the pools field and not the ones that are added into the pool in the definition

[red flower]

nope because of me and my cool PRs

[slim ferry]

awesome

thanks N for your cool PRs

[viscid talon]

trying to make a joker that debuffs face cards when it appears

it no worky

        
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.xmult}}
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind then
                debuff = { is_face = true }
        end
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play  then
            if context.other_card:is_face() then
                card.ability.extra.xmult = (card.ability.extra.xmult) + 0.25
            end
        end
    end
}```

[red flower]

it should be context.debuff_card and context.debuff_card:is_face() instead of setting_blind

and return { debuff = true }

[willow scroll]

how does one control what background music is playing

i looked at smods sound but i dont think i get it

[red flower]

return a number in select music track

the bigger number gets played

[zealous glen]

I'd say "High Card containing an Ace" or something to that degree

[willow scroll]

alright, and what if i wanted to change when an existing music track is playing

for example, mute the vanilla bg music when a specific joker is held

[red flower]

no idea

[willow scroll]

it says smth about overriding SMODS.Sound:get_current_music()?

i can try that

[hardy vessel]

Okay, it seems to be working, but not when only 1 of the jokers counts (works when both are compatible). I have to make some cases to account for that, but that should be easy enough.

tyty

[zealous glen]

I think Myst and maybe some other people know

[red flower]

do SMODS.blueprint_effect(...) or {}

in merge_effects

[zealous glen]

maybe something like this

[sharp arch]

back at it again with the same issue
but for clarification
the mod was working fine until i rebooted it so uhhh yeag

[willow scroll]

noted

oh i did sometihng and it kind of works but the rest of the sounds are broken and very delayed

please tell me i dont need to make an empty .ogg file

[bold sleet]

Hello, quick question: was there a way to order the jokers/consumables in the collection?

[hardy vessel]

right right, clears things up much nicer than what i got working lol

thanks again!

[willow scroll]

oh it has a fallback to music1 smh

i understand it now

oh it works 🔥

[sharp arch]

nevermind, i fixed it
looks like i need to work on a config page some other time

invisible joker and burnt joker's keys are "j_invis" and j_burnt right

[daring fern]

No, it's j_invisible

[sharp arch]

oh ok

[gentle cloud]

hello! so ive been trying to make a cardarea doohickey but for some reason it doesnt shake (or i guess jiggle idrc) or resize alongside the window properly.
please help I've been at this for at least two hours now.

local start_run = Game.start_run
function Game:start_run(args)
    self.grgo_powers = CardArea(
        0,
        0,
        2.3*G.CARD_W,
        0.95*G.CARD_H,
        {
            card_limit=4,
            type = "joker",
            highlight_limit = 1
        }
    )
    GrowlGoofs.powers = G.grgo_powers
    
    start_run(self,args)
    G.grgo_powers.T.x = G.consumeables.T.x
    G.grgo_powers.T.y = G.consumeables.T.y+G.consumeables.T.h+0.23
    G.grgo_powers:hard_set_VT()
end

[solid salmon]

guys for some reason challenge joker wont generate needle joker

[sharp arch]

why is this custom tooltip showing up blank?

[clear ocean]

That would work I'll check it out when I get home

on break atm

[red flower]

you didn't write the name or description /j

show code

[young leaf]

how do you have a value change in the description for scaling jokers?
i tried the hashtags that vanillaremade uses but that just makes the number displayed nil

[red flower]

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

[stoic heron]

thats a cute kitty

[rich roost]

Does anyone know of a mod or tool that will write the game state to a .txt file every time an action is taken

[young leaf]

THAT IS NOT HALF THE BLIND SIZE

[gusty iron]

Oh god 😭

Make sure youre only triggering it once

[young leaf]

thats what ive been working on
i just copied the event from disabling the wall
but im not sure what context will get it to do it just once at the start of the round

[red flower]

context.setting_blind

[young leaf]

thats what i thought too

        if context.setting_blind then
            return {

[faint yacht]

func = function()

[red flower]

you don't need to return this

[modest sedge]

    can_use = function(self)
        return G.hand and #G.hand.cards > 0
    end,

    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        card.ability.extra.bonus = (G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.typex or 0) * 2
        bonus = card.ability.extra.bonus
        ease_dollars(bonus)
    end,```

Is this correct? It's giving me $0 every time, instead of $2 for every time a consumable of Type X is used

[red flower]

it should be correct
what are you using as the type

[modest sedge]

I'm using a custom consumable type i added for my mod
The code is for a consumable of that type

[red flower]

then I don't think the game keeps track of custom ones

[modest sedge]

dang

[pseudo sun]

So i need a little bit of help, im trying to make a splash text similiar to minecraft's one for my mod. (see img references) Is it possible and can someone help with making it?

Im thinking of putting the text contents in a seperate lua file named "splashtext.lua" to make it easier

[river grail]

Hot Potato did exactly this

[pseudo sun]

do you know how?

[river grail]

no

but its 100% in the source code on there

[pseudo sun]

mind linking me to their code?

[river grail]

it's in #1397989781178155009
i would ask if you're able to use it, since its an event and idk how chill the person who wrote it is so

[pseudo sun]

aight thanks man

[modest sedge]

I guess if anyone has a solution, let me know

[obsidian spear]

how tf do I do this

[clear ocean]

im back from work

balanced it out

should i add the ace reminder or is it fine like steel joker

reminders are more for played suits/ranks

for the art, since im not that great at art yet, i was thinking a pilot flying a plane somewhat like this one in gta v's story over islands or mountains. mainly inspired by the airplane missions/gamemodes in gta v and wii sports resort

for the name which one is better: flying ace or fighter ace?

[timid parrot]

So if it’s X1 when you have 4 aces, does it go below X1 if you have less?

Or is it X2 with 4 aces and I’m just making an assumption?

[clear ocean]

its similar to steel joker if you have no aces you just get x1 it goes up

i don't know why you would want a joker that just takes xmult like that

🐎

[timid parrot]

Yeah that makes more sense

A bit strong since it starts at X2 but otherwise solid

[timid parrot]

You gonna be doing custom unlock conditions for your jokers?

[river grail]

I know Hot Potato added the whole Minecraft splash text, but is it possible to add other graphics to the menu (besides another card)? I plan on adding some, but it's late and I gotta go to bed before I even begin to investigate 💔

[clear ocean]

similar to the vanilla game where the last 30 where locked some like 3/10 of the jokers

[timid parrot]

Cool

[clear ocean]

one stack of joker ideas is beating a run with a friends of jimbo suit and the joker is related to the respective game or something similar

[timid parrot]

So just changing it in the menu and then winning?

[clear ocean]

yeah since i think it would be hard to track for the whole run

might be too niche idk ill come up with more ideas later but its almost midnight just wanted to finish the jokers i made before i went to bed after work

[timid parrot]

I don’t really like that

[clear ocean]

me either

it was more of throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks

[timid parrot]

Maybe reference the game/joker with the unlock

[clear ocean]

maybe... like for bugsnax i guess consume all the food jokers at least once? idk

[glass scaffold]

Does anyone know what language the shaders use for Editions?

[final jewel]

how do I make the joker have the message instead of the card

[cerulean rose]

add a message_card key to your return table

also you should look at SMODS.scale_card

[final jewel]

ok thx

like message_card = card or message_card = 'Upgraded !'

[cerulean rose]

message_card = card

[tall wharf]

a flavour of GLSL

[cerulean rose]

is there a definitive way to get a joker's loc_vars?

[tall wharf]

just wondering what you're doing with it

[cerulean rose]

so far the best i can come up with is card.config.center.loc_vars and card.config.center:loc_vars({}, card).vars or card:generate_UIBox_ability_table(true)

[tall wharf]

yeah i don't think you can get it from anywhere else other than UIbox ability table because vanilla ones are there

[modest sedge]

how do i get rid of the error

[cerulean rose]

my snag was that uibox ability table doesn't work for modded jokers

[modest sedge]

(Sorry, wrong timing)

[cerulean rose]

missing localization entry
descriptions.misc.dictionary.j_your_packtype_here_pack

[modest sedge]

ohh

[tall wharf]

yeah for those you'll have to use the center like what you did

i think you've got the best solution already

[blissful lake]

Chat am I cooking

except for the part where it isn't actually functional because I'm just using JokerForge to brainstorm ideas

[deft gust]

How do I manually call another joker's calculate() function? I want to forcibly trigger the joker outside of its normal timing by setting all the context flags to true.

[wind steppe]

you seem to be looking for https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptlib 's forcetriggers

[obsidian spear]

how does one do this without cryptlid :(

[wind steppe]

Steal Cryptlib's Code™

[obsidian spear]

b-b-b-b-but i dunno how :(

[wind steppe]

a bunch of mods have forcetrigger compat designed specifically for it anyways

[obsidian spear]

this is what i got sofar

[wind steppe]

im going to be honest with you here i havent actually used cryptlib forcetriggers

[obsidian spear]

i had a certain glitched kat helping me

[obsidian spear]

dang 😢

[wind steppe]

i know how to add compatiblity but i dont know how one forcetriggers

oh theres a function for that

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptlib/blob/main/forcetrigger.lua

[obsidian spear]

mmmmmmmmmhm

[wind steppe]

make sure to check if they exist first so you're not overwriting the function in case cryptid does happen to be enabled

[obsidian spear]

already stolen

[wind steppe]

youll need to steal Card:no and Cryptid.deep_copy as well

[obsidian spear]

card:no?

do you know which file thats in

[deft gust]

that force trigger function would look a lot less daunting if it didn't individually hard code the result of every vanilla card

[obsidian spear]

all 900 lines btw

[wind steppe]

no lmao

[deft gust]

Besides that, it mostly just uses eval_card(), right? Where does that function come from?

[faint yacht]

function eval_card(card, context) common_events.lua

Keep in mind SMODS has a hook on it.

[deft gust]

I saw it referenced in smods, but nothing happens when I call it

I figured out that it should've been SMODS.eval_card(), but now I'm getting this crash

btw theres like 1000 or so lines that are just for vanilla stuff

at ts point i might just require it for just this

[bold sleet]

late bump because I went to bed lol

[cerulean rose]

the order parameter:

or is it collection_order

[bold sleet]

idk

[slim ferry]

it is order but that is automatically set by steamodded based on load order

Cryptid uses order but that is just for internal load order within the mod to get cards in the desired order

[rancid flare]

how can a playing card come back to hand after scoring ?

[rancid flare]

what is handcard, and how do i target a card with a special enhancement ?

[daring fern]

Replace conditions with SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_modprefix_key')

[rancid flare]

v is the card to add to hand ?
to accese its config it's still v.ability.extra or something

Yes.

im trying to make a card spawn a planet card but i just cant get it to work. using set = 'Planet' doesnt seem to work. Can someone help me?

  set = 'Planet',
  edition = 'e_negative'
}```

[slim ferry]

the set is correct

whats the code surrounding it

[candid acorn]

        for i = 1, math.min(#G.hand.highlighted, card.ability.max_highlighted) do
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
                _card = G.hand.highlighted[i]

                if _card.edition then
                    SMODS.add_card{
                        set = 'Tarot',
                        edition = 'e_negative'
                    }
                end
                if _card.seal then
                    SMODS.add_card{
                    set = 'Spectral',

                return true end}))
        end```

[slim ferry]

_card.enhancement doesnt exist, you want to check next(SMODS.get_enhancements(_card))

[daring fern]

No, it's _card:get_seal() and next(SMODS.get_enhancements(_card))

[fossil ermine]

is it possible to add text to a joker's localization only after its discovered ?

[rancid flare]

how to get a list of all curent tag and how to add a tag

G.GAME.tags and add_tag(Tag('tag_modprefix_key'))

how to get the name(tag_modprefix_key) of the tag in G.GAME.tags

tag.key

[rancid flare]

thx

bro i just want a github repo 🥀 🥀

[rancid flare]

is it possible to make a card come back when discarded

[daring fern]

Yes, patch G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted

HOLY FUC @keen atlas (mb for the ping)

[surreal mason]

Modifying SDM_0's mod and I wanna rename the WoF to "Let's go gambling!"

[keen atlas]

notepad has an update now??

oh wait this is dev

[ashen drift]

cant you just edit the name to lets go gambling

[umbral spire]

how do you edit/define global variables again? is it G.GAME.current_round.variable_name?

[daring fern]

No, it's G.GAME.variable

[dapper sun]

do u guys know how to apply edition shaders to things being drawn directly without adding this warping?

[hardy viper]

what the hell

yeah that's very weird

[candid acorn]

Wth is this

[dapper sun]

fnf in balatro

a friend's helping code it for me for my mod

[tranquil gull]

okay so
how do i get the {X:mult,C:white} look with raw ui nodes

where in the code is that

[red flower]

localize

also it's just a column node with some rounding

[tranquil gull]

perfect ty

[turbid igloo]

how do i level up all the poker hands?

[rapid stag]

like, at once? i don't know that you can do it in one call, you'd have to iterate through each hand

[rancid flare]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/spectrals.lua
line 911
the re made black hole

[slim ferry]

you can link lines

click on line number and then the three dots and copy permalink

[turbid igloo]

you are right

[hardy vessel]

Is there context I could use to pull the sell value from a destroyed joker? (As in, making a joker that gives double the sell value of another joker that is destroyed)

[daring fern]

context.joker_type_destroyed and context.card.sell_cost

[hardy vessel]

needed the second part, thanks! seems to be working

[clear ocean]

what is better

[vernal seal]

quick question:
why doesn't remove all cards of that suit and only left these cards?

[clear ocean]

weird that shouldve worked also isnt there like a config option for that?

[normal crest]

Because calling remove removes them from G.playing_cards which you are currently looping through

you want to store the cards to delete in a local table and then call SMODS.destroy_cards with that table

[vernal seal]

mm so like this?

[normal crest]

not at all

like this

local cards = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
  if v:is_suit("Hearts") then
    cards[#cards + 1] = v
  end
end
SMODS.destroy_cards(cards)

[vernal seal]

oh,alright

[daring fern]

No, they should be iterating over it backwards.

[daring fern]

for i=#G.playing_cards, 1, -1 do
    if G.playing_cards[i]:is_suit('Hearts') then
        G.playing_cards[i]:remove()
    end
end

[clear ocean]

working on a spectral cousin of these two jokers but not sure what to call it

the closest i got was when looking up stuff is paranormal but it doesnt sound like a profession

ghosthunter? parapsychologist? practitioner? transmitter?

pyromancer?

[vernal seal]

ok thank you, this is better,
it doesn't make some loud sounds👍

[vale zinc]

How 'bout "Occultist"?

Also, is it possible to call after_scoring() within a Joker?

            },```
only the longass comment shows up, did i fuck something again

[clear ocean]

that actually works thanks

[daring fern]

No, because that doesn't exist.

[vale zinc]

Exists for Ortalab's The Hammer, which strips enhancements from cards after they score!

[daring fern]

Yes, that's an Ortalab thing.

[sharp arch]

say, would there be a way to have a hand not score unless theres a specific suit held in hand?

workin on a cool asf blind

[vale zinc]

Ortalab's done something similar, for forbidding a hand unless it contains a specified suit.

[sharp arch]

well, i want to make it so you just have to hold it in your hand

[vale zinc]

You'll hafta call debuff_hand() then loop through the player's cards held in hand and see if the player's got so much as a single, say, Diamond. If they do, return false; otherwise, return true.

[vernal seal]

another quick question:
why do Card effects that check default deck size still believe its 52 when cards are removed/added to deck at run start?

Erosion should say "36" instead of "52".

[rocky plaza]

@sharp arch
show me the joker code for the extra info queue description that is working
and an instance of the joker code for the extra info queue that is not working

[daring fern]

Because you need to set it manually.

[sharp arch]

these are just one comment

prettuy sure if you find the issue therethe rest can be fixed

[vernal seal]

and how can i set it up manually?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.starting_deck_size = #G.playing_cards

[rocky plaza]

the comment is stored in Other, correct?

[sharp arch]

ye

if it helps, heres how it looks in game

[rocky plaza]

that is strange

can i see the entire loc vars function for that joker

[sharp arch]

        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = 'hc_ms_comment', set = 'Other' }
        return {

            vars = {
                card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                card.ability.extra.every + 1,
                localize { type = 'variable', key = (card.ability.extra.loyalty_remaining == 0 and 'loyalty_active' or 'loyalty_inactive'), vars = { card.ability.extra.loyalty_remaining } }
            }
        }
    end,```

[rocky plaza]

can i see the loc vars function of the joker with the functioning extra comment

[sharp arch]

        
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = 'hc_longass_comment', set = 'Other' }
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.increase, card.ability.extra.dollars } }
    end,```

[rocky plaza]

the only thing that i can think of that could possibly be messing with this is a syntax issue

[rocky plaza]

you didnt in any way mess with how the game processes loc text, correct?

[sharp arch]

how the hell would i even do that

[rocky plaza]

idk but that seems like a no

send the loc file here and i can take a look

its not crashing which means its finding the entry

[sharp arch]

here it is

[rocky plaza]

and im also assuming theres no unicode shenanigans going on

Oh

i found the issue

[sharp arch]

lemme guess, i fucked spelling

that tends to be an issue with my code

[rocky plaza]

nope

u forgot to close a bracket

[sharp arch]

OH MY GOD-

[sharp arch]

i hate my inabillity to type\

[rocky plaza]

🧠

[rocky plaza]

try it and see if the other comments work

[sharp arch]

you are a fucking lifesaver dude

THHEY WORK AGAIN

🔥

dont worry about feeling dumb because you made a syntax error

ive had to help multiple people here catch sneaky syntax stuff that was causing bugs

thanks

we always make em

[vale grove]

    update = function(self, card, dt)
        if card.ability.extra.active == true then

        card.ability.extra.active = true
    end

i have this function which works but when you win a game go to main menu and boot up a new run it doesnt change the gamespeed how do i fix that?\

[daring fern]

Hook Game:main_menu

[vale grove]

oh yeah mr seals, do you think its possible to make a joker change the langauge on obtaitining it ?

[clear ocean]

Why would you do that
