[daring fern]

Yes.

[vale grove]

because its funny

[clear ocean]

Reminds me of spyro 3 in the eu copy when it trips of the anti piracy it changes the languages at timss

[vale grove]

any clue how

[vale grove]

the real reason is that a friend of mine really loves to translate memes and shit into our native language

so

[clear ocean]

Also your pfp is fire

[vale grove]

i think its funny to add that as a joker

[vale grove]

ty ty

[clear ocean]

Persona i think with that sponge bob money meme

[vale grove]

yes

persona 2 maya

[clear ocean]

Ah yes the one with hitler

[vale grove]

yes

i love persona 2

its so goated

[daring fern]

Try looking at G.FUNCS.change_lang

[vale grove]

like hooking it in main and calling it as G.change_language?

but yeah to answer your question

[solid salmon]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'checkered_deck_joker',
    loc_txt = {
      name = 'Checkered Deck Joker',
      text = {'creates {C:tarot}sun{} card and {C:tarot}world{} card after leaving shop'}
   },
   rarity = 2,
   pos = {
      x = 0,
      y = 0
   },

            }
        }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.ending_shop and not context.individual and #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
        G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
           G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                for k, v in ipairs(card.ability.consumables) do
                    SMODS.add_card({ key = v })
                end
                return true
            end
        }))

end,

SMODS.Atlas {
    key = "checkered_deck_joker",

}

is there a way to make this give the world, then the sun

oh wait

[dapper sun]

asking again since quite a bit of time has passed

how do make an info_queue of modded jokers with custom values

on vanilla jokers it works fine but on modded ones it doesn't

i've tried all sorts of things

[vale grove]

oh i think i did something similar to this

what exactly are you trying to do?

[dapper sun]

a prieview for my mod's upgrade system

which turns one joker into another, but can carry over some relevant values

and i want those changed values to show in the preview

[vale grove]

one stupid fix, did you add your mod prefix?

[dapper sun]

yes

[vale grove]

what you could do is make a custom infoqueue

[dapper sun]

and how would i do that

i've been told that by multiple people but i was never told how

[vale grove]

like i have a joker that eats food jokers and i made little info queues for them to see what you would gain

[vale grove]

first you make a localization folder (not necessary for it to work but just cleaner)

[dapper sun]

and would i be able to make it autogenerate or would i have to copypaste each joker description for the preview versions?

[vale grove]

uhhh

well you can copy the text

one sec

[dapper sun]

_ _

[vale grove]

Popcorn = {
name = "Popcorn",
text = {
"gives {C:mult}+10{} Mult"
}
},
this is what i did for popcorn

[dapper sun]

i don't want to have to copy-paste the text

[vale grove]

you can copy the description and put in text

[dapper sun]

since i'd have to do that for every upgrade

[vale grove]

i don't think so

im not sure tho

dont take my word as fact

bcs im very new to this scene myself 😭

[dapper sun]

ideally i want to be able to have it automatically make the description by just setting the upgrade joker and the changed values

without having to make a second description

[dapper sun]

also i was told before that this is bc vanilla jokers have their info_vars hardcoded

[vale grove]

well back to your original thing

you probably have to cast moddd jokers in a different way

because of how smods works

the issue is how which idk bcs i have not done anything of the sort

[dapper sun]

[dapper sun]

this still doesn't answer my question

[daring fern]

Have you tried:```lua
local center = SMODS.shallow_copy(G.P_CENTERS.j_modprefix_key)
center.loc_vars = function() return {vars = vars} end
info_queue[#info_queue+1] = center

[dapper sun]

where would i put this

[daring fern]

In the loc_vars

[dapper sun]

ok

i'll try it

omg

the vars aren't quite working but it's actually showing the description now

[daring fern]

Code?

[dapper sun]

wait i forgot to set vars

that'd do it

[sharp arch]

guys quick how do i remove the titloe screen card

[daring fern]

G.title_top.cards[1]:remove()

[sharp arch]

so i just put that in my code right

[dapper sun]

on a semi-related note, anyone got np++ formatting for lovely patches? i found one a while back and it isn't compatible with my dark mode theme (the text has white bg)

[vale grove]

is it lang(language) or lang("language")

[daring fern]

‎

[sharp arch]

actually where do i put that

it goes in a SMODS.Current_mod calculate function right

[daring fern]

No.

[dapper sun]

if (_c.elle_upgrade) then
    local t = G.P_CENTERS[_c.elle_upgrade.card] -- Upgrade target
    local j = copy_table(G.P_CENTERS[_c.elle_upgrade.card].config.extra) -- OG Joker's vars
    local u = _c.elle_upgrade.values and _c.elle_upgrade:values(card) or {} -- 
    
    -- Upgrade variable stuff
    
    for i,v in pairs(u) do
        j[i] = v
    end
    
    local test = SMODS.shallow_copy(t)
    test.loc_vars = function() return {vars = j} end
    
    info_queue[#info_queue+1] = test
end```

[sharp arch]

then where

[daring fern]

In a Game:main_menu hook.

[sharp arch]

oh ok

[daring fern]

G.FUNCS.change_lang({config = {ref_table = G.LANGUAGES.key}})

[vale grove]

.key being the language?

[daring fern]

No, it would be the key.

[vale grove]

but what is the key of a language?

or are you talking about the joker?

or my mod?

im so confused

[sharp arch]

so is this good code then

[dapper sun]

how do i get a joker's default loc_vars

[sharp arch]

ignore the stuff in the hook

(specifically the part after the remove)

[umbral zodiac]

you might want to run the original first just for safety

also from_debuff is unneccessary

[sharp arch]

yeah i removed that

[umbral zodiac]

ya then id just recommend putting the original beforehand and then i will not ignore the hook itself because its perfectly fine

[sharp arch]

which one is the original

[umbral zodiac]

like

local ret = ...

unless you have a unique reason to put code before the original code runs i would usually recommend putting it afterwards, especially if youre modifying the end result like what cards are on the main menu

[sharp arch]

so like this, or do I also have to move the return

[umbral zodiac]

no thats good

return would end the function anyway

so it kinda has to be last

[sharp arch]

... it didnt work 😢

[umbral zodiac]

crashed or just did nothing

[sharp arch]

crashed

[umbral zodiac]

oh

you need to keep self in the game_main_menu_ref

that's good, its just that from_debuff doesn't exist so it has no reason to be there

[sharp arch]

where self would go is empty

[sharp arch]

oh i need to add it ok

[umbral zodiac]

you had it earlier and i assum you removed it alongside the from_debuff part

[sharp arch]

it worked thanks man

[daring fern]

card:generate_UIBox_ability_table(true)

[dapper sun]

?

what'd the card be in this context?

[dapper sun]

since i'm still trying to get this working

[daring fern]

A card or a fake card.

[dapper sun]

ok?

a card of the joker i'm trying to make an info_queue of?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[dapper sun]

how do i make a fake card?

[daring fern]

SMODS.Center.create_fake_card(G.P_CENTERS.j_modprefix_key)

[dapper sun]

thanks

[hardy vessel]

Is there a way to check when a card gets enhanced by any means?

[dapper sun]

how do i change/modify the name of the fake card?

[daring fern]

if context.setting_ability and G.P_CENTERS[context.new].set == 'Enhanced'

[daring fern]

You mean the localized name?

[hardy vessel]

okay, sweet. tyvm!

[dapper sun]

yea

i wanna have it say, for example,, Upgrade - Hanging Chad

[vale grove]

okay so i figured this out, but on obtaining the joker the game goes to the main menu, do you know how to fix that?

[dapper sun]

local upgrade_fake_card = SMODS.Center.create_fake_card(upgrade_center)
local upgrade_loc_vars = upgrade_fake_card:generate_UIBox_ability_table(true)```this is giving an error,, ,

[daring fern]

Log?

[dapper sun]

upgrade_center is the G.P_CENTERS entry for the joker

where are the logs stored

or is it just the error

[daring fern]

Yes, the crash log.

[dapper sun]

for context, this is a patch

hence it being common_events

[daring fern]

Card.generate_UIBox_ability_table(upgrade_fake_card, true)

[dapper sun]

ah ty

full code for ref

[hardy vessel]

another question, can i check for the card being enhanced specifically?

[daring fern]

Card.generate_UIBox_ability_table({ability = upgrade_config, config = {center = upgrade_center}}, true)

[dapper sun]

oh ty

[daring fern]

oh wait should i tprint it

[daring fern]

No, you should add true as the second argument for both calls of Card.generate_UIBox_ability_table

[dapper sun]

ah ok

nil

[daring fern]

Code?

[dapper sun]

same as this but upgrade_uibox = Card.generate_UIBox_ability_table({ability = upgrade_config, config = {center = test}}, true) instead (and i changed the print ofc)

if u think it'd make things easier for u tho

if (_c.elle_upgrade) then
    local upgrade_center = G.P_CENTERS[_c.elle_upgrade.card] -- Upgrade target
    local upgrade_config = copy_table(upgrade_center.config) -- OG vars
    local upgrade_vars = _c.elle_upgrade.values and _c.elle_upgrade:values(card) or {} -- 
    
    -- Upgrade variable stuff

    local upgrade_fake_card = SMODS.Center.create_fake_card(upgrade_center)
    local test = SMODS.shallow_copy(upgrade_center)
    
    local upgrade_uibox = Card.generate_UIBox_ability_table({ability = upgrade_config, config = {center = test}}, true)

    print(upgrade_uibox)

here :3

end
```?

[dapper sun]

still niling

it's 1am, i think this is a tomorrow problem

[charred widget]

Hi friends! I have an idea that's a bit more simple but I'm still gonna need help with.

I know The Fool generates the last used planet/tarot card, and there's a direct function for that, but is there a specific way to gather the last consumable of any type?

Or would I have to set up a loop that constantly checks for it?

[faint yacht]

You could attach a calculate to your mod object, then set a global variable under G.GAME to the key of context.consumeable whilst checking for context.using_consumeable.

[charred widget]

Could you walk me through it?

[faint yacht]

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
  if context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable then G.GAME.last_used_cons = context.consumeable.config.center.key end
end

[native cargo]

I know if I want to modify the base code with a mod I use a lovely patch, I was able to create a new card area that I plan to do something with, but I seem to be having trouble manipulating the UI to shrink the run info and options buttons. I've been referencing other mods that manipulate the UI to see how it's done but no matter what I do, even if it's a simple color change just to sanity check, it doesn't work.

[charred widget]

so where would i put this?

[faint yacht]

Anywhere outside of SMODS.Joker and what not.

[charred widget]

could I put it in the main file?

[faint yacht]

Ye.

[charred widget]

so how would I call this function as a joker effect?

per say, if I were to use if context.setting_blind then

[cerulean rose]

you can replace center.key with center_key here (i think)

[charred widget]

what's the difference?

[umbral zodiac]

you use _ instead of .

[charred widget]

is there any functional difference or is it just visual?

[umbral zodiac]

not really

[faint yacht]

In a Joker,

if context.setting_blind then
  if G.GAME.last_used_cons and G.P_CENTERS[G.GAME.last_used_cons] then
    -- Assuming The Fool-like behaviour of giving last used consumable...
    SMODS.add_card({key = G.GAME.last_used_cons})
  end
end

[umbral zodiac]

you dont index the table center but , its not like indexing one table has a downside

[charred widget]

alright I'll see how it works

Works as intended! Thank you friends ^v^

[young leaf]

im trying to do something pretty simple here but i am unfortunately struggling
so im basically trying to make ride the bus, but instead of resetting with scoring face cards it resets when an ace is discarded
this is the code:

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult_gain, card.ability.extra.mult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.discard and not context.blueprint then
--- ".discard" was originally ".before"
            local aces = false
            for _, playing_card in ipairs(context.discard) do
--- ".discard" was originally ".scoring_hand"
                if playing_card:is_ace() then
                    aces = true
                    break
                end
            end
            if aces then
                local last_mult = card.ability.extra.mult
                card.ability.extra.mult = 0
                if last_mult > 0 then
                    return {
                        message = localize('k_reset')
                    }
                end
            else
                card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end
}```
this is vanillaremade's ride the bus but with  every mention of "face" and "faces" being replaced with "ace" and "aces"
I also replaced the context with context.discard
Surprisingly, just replacing every mention of "face" and "faces" with "ace" and "aces" makes it work, but replacing the context makes the joker just do nothing
Im not sure what would get this to work, i cant really find a good reference for this sorta thing

[cerulean rose]

Card:is_ace() doesn't exist

also, please check the smods docs for calculate functions
context.discard is a boolean, so calling ipairs on it doesn't make sense

[sonic cedar]

@lament agate

[modest sedge]

How do I change the weight of a consumable, the likelihood of it appearing in a booster pack
Is it just weight = [number]?

nvm i got it
I think it's soul_rate = [number],

[obsidian spear]

how to check what blind is next, or all blinds

[cerulean rose]

G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices

[obsidian spear]

tyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[lament agate]

tomatoes shut the fuck up

[frosty rampart]

if your consumable isn't hidden (i.e. like how soul and black hole work), then i don't think this does anything
and note that if you do decide to make it hidden, soul_rate is the probability that it replaces any given card in its booster packs, so it might not behave as expected. if it's common enough, it might appear multiple times in a single booster pack

to have non-hidden rarities, i think you'll need to set the consumabletype to have rarities in the first place and assign that rarity to the consumables
(maybe check how hotpot bottlecaps work?)
if you don't want whole rarities, then you'll probably have to do it in the booster's create_card function

[modest sedge]

augh
hotpot is a lot of code, and it might be a lot of jargon for me to understand if I do find it

[frosty rampart]

yea it's not. a great resource

great mod, not good for referencing code lol

shoutouts to the whole file that's nothing but commented out ui code

[sturdy compass]

As the guy who organized hotpot, do not use hotpot as a resource

😭

[honest bridge]

Hey guys! Trying to get this to work again where the card destroys itself when you click on it and I cannot for the love of me figure out why this aint working

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[honest bridge]

yeah never figured out how to make it exist

[daring fern]

You don't.

[honest bridge]

I tried puttting it outside the joker script but it still doesn't work for me is it still in the joker?

[cerulean rose]

see yahiamod/el wiwi

[elder rune]

Is there a way to make create_card() create cards you already have in your tray as if showman were there

[daring fern]

No, use SMODS.create_card and allow_duplicates = true

[mossy anchor]

how do i make a new playing card
i dont mean smth like stone because afaik thats just a fancy enhancement

and is there a way to do special things when the new playing card is played like how enhancements do it without a enhancement

like, smth seperate from the rest of the regular cards

[cerulean rose]

not supported without another mod

[mossy anchor]

ah whats the other mod

i dont really care about low dependencies

[honest bridge]

Took your advice on the yahimod and came up with some new code. How does this look?

[young leaf]

@daring fern you mentioned the negative joker stuff in #⚙・modding-general i just wanted to move it over here
it probably has something to do with the calculate function but uh

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and card.edition and card.edition.negative then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        end
    end
}```
this is not working :(

[bleak shore]

Hi everyone , i was wondering how can i put like a joker in the deck on hand area , i tried to just change his cardarea but yeah it didn't work , any idea ?

[mossy anchor]

whats the other mod...

[civic solstice]

hey guys uhhh i was tryna make the final file for a beta tester version of my mod

why are my decks doing this

also the backing is wrong on this

[gusty iron]

i love drawing placeholders 😭

[gusty iron]

Elite ball knowledge

idk how ill implement the light sources

but i have charms and hiding spots planned out

speaking of charms.....

oh my GOD its so much easier to draw 120 on paper

[candid acorn]

does anyone know how can i make the player 'draw' a card?

or just check the top card of deck

[gusty iron]

by draw do you mean like

actually drawing to their hand

[candid acorn]

yes

just adding the top card of deck to hand

to be able to interact with it

[red flower]

[gusty iron]

holy peak...

whats the table for scored cards again

[proper crystal]

is there a way to make a sound when a Tarot card (in this case the fool) is used? im really new to this

[gusty iron]

so im trying to make it so that it moves the scored cards around and for some reason it doesnt work??

i made a helper function to shuffle the table, but when i run it, nothing happens for some reason

[gusty iron]

do you have the sound defined yet?

[proper crystal]

yeah

defined as in like in the files of the game?

[gusty iron]

defined an in

SMODS.Sound

[proper crystal]

oh

then no

[gusty iron]

first define the sound

-- basic sound definition
SMODS.Sound{
 key = "key", -- the key
 path = "path" -- the path
 pitch = 1 -- the pitch
}

leave pitch empty if you want it to be random

[proper crystal]

that sounds like a funny thing to do

[gusty iron]

okay so just include key and path

[proper crystal]

done

one of the questions i have is where should i place the code?

[gusty iron]

so what exactly is playing the sound?

a joker?

[proper crystal]

oh well i wanted to play when the fool is used

so i started to look into how to do it but i find it pretty confusing

[gusty iron]

so the game is playing the sound

?

[proper crystal]

i think so

sorry if im being a little confusing

[gusty iron]

okay lemme cook 👍

[proper crystal]

Oh thank you

[gusty iron]

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
if context.using_consumeable and not context.blueprint and context.consumeable.config.center.key == 'c_fool' then
return {
sound = "your sound key"
}
end
    end
end

i thiiink this should be right

do make sure to include your mod prefix before the key though

[proper crystal]

thanks

[proper crystal]

okay

im still a little confused as to where do i place this?

as of now i only have my notes app to well take notes

[gusty iron]

literally ANYWHERE in your mod

...wel not anywhere

but any open area in the code

[proper crystal]

okay

thank you

ill go to check if it works and come back if i have any issues

[obsidian spear]

Okay i have this function I wanna hook to or patch, and end goal is adding an extra condition to desired track

yes this is like important that i do it this way

would patching or hooking be better here

patching right?

[ashen drift]

in this case patching would be better

[gusty iron]

yeah patching seems like the right choice

[willow scroll]

why is hooking or patching get_current_music not something that would work? but yeah patching would be better in this case

[obsidian spear]

alright

[gusty iron]

update on this,

i got the cards to shuffle VISUALLY, but they still score in order of what you played it in, any help?

[candid acorn]

        for i = 1, math.min(#G.hand.highlighted, card.ability.max_highlighted) do

            local _card = G.hand.highlighted[i]
            --local cardFound = false

            while G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards]:get_id() =! _card:get_id() then do <--- THIS IS LINE 143
                G.E_MANAGER.add_event(Event({func = function()
                    G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards]:remove()
                end}))

            end
            G.E_MANAGER.add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.2,func = function() G.hand:unhighlight_all(); SMODS.draw_cards(1); return true end }))

        end

    end```

could anyone help me with this

ill send the error

[ashen drift]

whats the code

[gusty iron]

i got it to work :)

[ashen drift]

awesome

[gusty iron]

only issue is that now it causes unscored cards to score...

[candid acorn]

That's a feature now

[gusty iron]

Honestly why not

[vale grove]

real

||

thats a spoiler btw

when ever the music triggers it makes everything laggy?

either that or everything gets slown down

and takes shit tons of time to do

[vale grove]

oh ive had that before

what my issue was

is that i loaded a long function everytime i wanted it to trigger

to fix it i moved the long function to my main and named it a value so it does the long load on start up

and then you can call the thing you want to trigger in a very minimalistic way

[slim ferry]

you should use toml instead of lua for formatting patches with discord
also changing music should be done in the select_music_track function of the SMODS.Sound, not with whatever this is

[vale grove]

oh yeah eris

youre dutch right?

[slim ferry]

yes

why

[vale grove]

i found an error in the dutch language

like

mod

or

well

ykwim

this thing

[slim ferry]

theres like 500 trillion errors in the dutch localization i thought

just look in the thread for it in #1207803392978853898 theres so much

[vale grove]

i dont mean mistranslation

i found this lol

[slim ferry]

i love

spubs

and diarts

[vale grove]

real

besmeurde joker is also fire

but im talking about the colors here

[slim ferry]

yeah

[proper crystal]

hi im having a few issues the problem seems to be the end of the code? i tried to figure it out by myself but i got kinda stuck

[gusty iron]

can you send the code?

[slim ferry]

one end too many i think

[gusty iron]

yeah one end too many

[slim ferry]

assuming you just copy pasted

[proper crystal]

yeah

[gusty iron]

i was gonna fix it but then i got sidetracked

[proper crystal]

oh its okay dont worry

so i removed one before

lemme try removing 2

well this is new

did i mess something up?

[slim ferry]

yes you removed the end that you did actually need this time

[proper crystal]

oh

[slim ferry]

also is that notepad 🥀

[proper crystal]

yeah

[slim ferry]

get a code editor cro 🙏

[candid acorn]

?

[gusty iron]

fellow notepad coder 🔥

[candid acorn]

Asking again

[gusty iron]

the sound doesnt have your mod prefix

you need your mod prefix

[slim ferry]

then do is incorrect

its just do

also its ~= for inequality

[candid acorn]

THANKS

THAT WAS THE ISSUE

Yes

Ssss

Tysm

[slim ferry]

Okay.

[candid acorn]

Then do was added bc i didn't know what to do

Tysm again

[vale grove]

how do you do localization of the decks?
j_mod_prefix_joker key
this is how you do jokers, what is the deck version?

figured it out

[proper crystal]

im sorry for confusing this before but mod prefix is the meta data from like who made the mod right? cause if it is then i have it outside the code file but i put it in there to check and it only made another issue i apologize if im being too confusing here and for not understanding a thing

i looked it up and thats what it said so i said i knew what it was so thats my bad

[gusty iron]

youre missing a ,

[proper crystal]

what

[gusty iron]

it should be path = "FollyLaugh.ogg",

[proper crystal]

OH

well this is just confusing now

i thought that was fixed?

do i add another end? im sorry for asking for help every 5 minutes

[red flower]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[midnight trellis]

You need VSCode and the Lua language server, they'll highlight these issues for you. Looks like you're using just a simple text editor.

[proper crystal]

thank you

yeah i was just using the notes app

lemme check it out and see what it does

[daring fern]

[dusty fractal]

context.card.config.center.key == 'j_morne_egomaniac'

this is how im checking if a card is this joker

if context.buying_card and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker' and not context.card.config.center.key == 'j_morne_egomaniac' and not context.blueprint then
            print(context.card.config.center.key)

        end

in context.buying_card am i referring to the wrong card here

im trying to nab the bought card to evaluate

think im using the not wrong

[daring fern]

Yes, you should be using ~= also you should be returning.

ok yea i have no idea what i am trying to do with the freeze slot

    end
}```

it no work

it manages to draw 1/2 of all cards facedown

but if i play anything, ts comes up

[slim ferry]

because you use card in calculate when the argument is called blind

[vale zinc]

Does G.play return all cards played in a hand, regardless of whether or not they score?

[slim ferry]

yes

[daring fern]

No, it's G.play.cards

[slim ferry]

well

that

[vale zinc]

What returns all scored cards in a hand?

[slim ferry]

context.scoring_hand usually

i dont think theres a context that happens during scoring where that doesnt exist

[vale zinc]

So, would context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == context.scoring_hand destroy scored cards?

[red flower]

in that case G.play is the scored card yes

context.cardarea == G.play I mean

it's kinda confusing because G play.cards has all cards but the context only considers scoring

[vale zinc]

But G.play only returns cards played, not cards scored!

[vale zinc]

Wait, does that specify scoring?

[red flower]

yes

[hallow slate]

What is Folly Laughing about

[red flower]

for not scored it's context.cardarea == "unscored"

[vale zinc]

That wasn't what I was looking for.

[red flower]

I know it isn't

I said G.play is for scored and told you "unscored" is for not scored to clarify

[viscid talon]

oh hm

someone told me beforehand i had to use blind instead of card

[slim ferry]

just change the blind to card

[slim ferry]

why

[viscid talon]

idk

[slim ferry]

that changes nothing 😭

[viscid talon]

lets try that again

ok it works

now all thats left for me to do is edit the text a tiny bit

[gusty compass]

where would i actually implement the card persistence and how would i spawn it in the card area since after the shop loading while a card is set, it seems to crash

[bold oar]

I think I counted my curly brackets correctly, there shouldn't be any missing

[frosty rampart]

you need a comma at the end of line 18

[gusty compass]

nvm now it just doesnt show up, but it doesnt crash as far as i can tell (except when i reload the save 😔 )

[viscid talon]

i dont know how but fireworks is broken

it was working and now its not

im acc losing my mind

slightly updated version, it still just shows up as "0"

[plucky berry]

how can i make negative numbers show up correctly during scoring in the mult and chips boxes?

[daring fern]

You're returning card.ability.extra.n which is 0 in loc_vars

[viscid talon]

how do i change that

do i set it as 1 or

[daring fern]

No, you change it to G.GAME.current_round.pokervar_hand

[viscid talon]

thank you

[daring fern]

‎

[dapper sun]

tomorrow is here,,

[vale grove]

iam making a localization patch but when i swap back to english my mod thingies stay in that language bubt the normal game doesnt that how do i fix that?

[vale grove]

for example i swap it to french then change it back to english my modded jokers would stay in french

[normal crest]

what is your patch exactly

[vale grove]

well its not a patch

bad writing on my end

im just translating my own mod for a meme

[dapper sun]

so i've not touched the code since u wrote this and it's still only giving nil in the print

[daring fern]

Does it print nil or nil, nil, nil?

[dapper sun]

just the one

one nil

[viscid talon]

wheelbarrow has a strange text glitch

it works fine, but the text doesnt update nor does it account for probability

[dapper sun]

@daring fern

[daring fern]

What mods do you have installed?

[dapper sun]

• handy
• jen's lib
• nopeus
• debugplus
• my mod

[daring fern]

card.ability.extra.mult is not in vars also the probability isn't using variables.

[red flower]

the probability in the description is hardcoded and the mult is not inside vars and has the wrong name

[dapper sun]

okay i've disabled everything except my mod & debugplus

and it's still happening

[mossy anchor]

anyone know what the other mod specified here is

also dammit they were fancy enhancements

[dapper sun]

ok i've disabled every mod and it's still happening

[daring fern]

Have you tried running upgrade_center.loc_vars instead of using Card:generate_UIBox_ability_table?

[dapper sun]

u mean printing?

[daring fern]

No, doing upgrade_center:loc_vars({}, {ability = upgrade_center.config, config = {center = upgrade_center}}).vars instead of Card.generate_UIBox_ability_table({ability = upgrade_center.config, config = {center = upgrade_center}}, true)

[dapper sun]

like this?

-- Upgrade support
if (_c.elle_upgrade) then
    local upgrade_center = SMODS.shallow_copy(G.P_CENTERS[_c.elle_upgrade.card]) -- Upgrade target
    upgrade_center.config = copy_table(upgrade_center.config) -- OG vars
    local upgrade_vars = _c.elle_upgrade.values and _c.elle_upgrade:values(card) or {}
    
    -- Upgrade variable stuff
    for k, v in pairs(upgrade_vars) do
        upgrade_center.config.extra[k] = v
    end
    
    upgrade_center.loc_vars = function() return {vars = upgrade_vars} end
    local upgrade_uibox = upgrade_center:loc_vars({}, {ability = upgrade_center.config, config = {center = upgrade_center}}) --Card.generate_UIBox_ability_table({ability = upgrade_center.config, config = {center = upgrade_center}}, true)
    
    print(upgrade_uibox)
    
    info_queue[#info_queue+1] = upgrade_center
end```

[daring fern]

No, you need to add .vars to the end.

[dapper sun]

oh idk how i missed that in my copy-paste

thanks

-# prob bc lovely patches don't have the lua text formatting

it's just returning the vars table

since upgrade_center.loc_vars has no arguments

[daring fern]

No, you need to keep the upgrade_center.loc_vars = function() return {vars = upgrade_uibox} end where it was.

[dapper sun]

ah ok

[umbral spire]

what does context.full_hand store exactly?

[dapper sun]

have you tried printing it?

[umbral spire]

i cant open balatro atm

[dapper sun]

it's printing a table of the correct values

[slim ferry]

the full played hand

its just G.play.cards effectively

[dapper sun]

all that's left is to put those vars in the info_queue thingy

[mossy anchor]

SMODS.Back{
    name = "Blind Deck",
    key = "blinddeck",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 4},
    config = {},
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Blinds Deck",
        text = {
            "Makes you use Blind Cards."
        }
    },
    apply = function()
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                local total = #G.playing_cards
                local half = math.floor(total / 2)
            
                for i = 1, half do
                    local card = G.playing_cards[i]
                    card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.blinds_red)
                end
            
                for i = half + 1, total do
                    local card = G.playing_cards[i]
                    card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.blinds_blank)
                end
            
                return true
            end
        }))
    end


}

trying to do this but it seems to not set the cards to the enhancements

the enhancements arent the issue i think

[dapper sun]

ok i got it working

[daring fern]

Yes, you're missing the class prefix and mod prefix.

[mossy anchor]

..?

[daring fern]

card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_modprefix_blinds_red)

[mossy anchor]

ahhh

[dapper sun]

how would i go about adding smtn to the name on this?

like,, changing it to Upgrade - Fallen Angel

[umbral spire]

when is context.individual true exactly? or is it not a Boolean?

[slim ferry]

it is a boolean

its used for effects on individual playing cards during scoring or at the end of round

[umbral spire]

well this is for my jokerblocks thingy, and idk what to name it (the 5th one from top)

[umbral spire]

is that good? ^

[dapper sun]

what's the info_queue center for Not Discovered?

[slim ferry]

i mean probably?

[umbral spire]

🤷

[slim ferry]

its difficult to generally name

[primal robin]

man

instead of developing just another jokerforge you better develop dependencies manager idk

This is much more prefferable in current modding state

eh, whatever

[dapper sun]

how do i make an info_queue use Not Discovered if the given thingy isn't discovered?

how do i make a custom info_queue?

[lethal belfry]

i dunno whats happening here...

apparently bunco is causing it, idk why

[dapper sun]

bunco's trying to use a shader incorrectly

[lethal belfry]

well how do i fix that...

[dapper sun]

disable the mod

[dapper sun]

i misspoke: the mod's shader is just straight up coded wrong

[lethal belfry]

maybe i installed it from the wrong place or something...

[dapper sun]

did you install it from github?

if so, was there a release you could've downloaded or did you just download the most recent commit

[lethal belfry]

of course i install everything from github

[umbral spire]

Card.debuff checks if it is debuffed right?

[lethal belfry]

oh yeah i usually just install the most recent commit...

[dapper sun]

that's prob why

if it isn't a release it's likely gonna be buggy as it's not meant for regular gameplay

[lethal belfry]

yeah thats what i usually did when playtesting cardsauce

[daring fern]

Yes.

[dapper sun]

how do i custom info_queue

wait i'm dumb i think

[umbral spire]

is this how you "self destruct" a joker?

local idx = (function()
    local my_pos = nil
    for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
        if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
            my_pos = i
            return my_pos
            break
        end
    end
end)()
if #G.jokers.cards > 0 and #G.jokers.cards <= idx then
    SMODS.destroy_cards(G.jokers.cards[idx])
end

or would it work atleast

[dapper sun]

SMODS.destroy_cards(card)

[frosty rampart]

if your goal is to destroy the joker when its the rightmost joker, and this code is in the relevant joker's calculate function, then yes that should work fine (although it's a little weird)
but also yea SMODS.destroy_cards(card) is clearer

[slim ferry]

breaking after returning isnt necessary btw

[daring fern]

Yes, because it will crash.

[dapper sun]

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {type = 'name_text', set = "Upgrade", key = _c.key, specific_vars = (_c.elle_upgrade.loc_vars and _c.elle_upgrade:loc_vars(card) or {}) }
why is only the name showing in the info_queue?

[wind steppe]

wheres the localization for what youre trying to localize

[dapper sun]

in my default.lua

[wind steppe]

no i mean like. show us that

[wind steppe]

also whats _c.key here

[dapper sun]

it's a patch into the function that handles info_queue stuff, that's the center

localthunk named the var, don't blame me

[wind steppe]

i assume its the string "j_elle_sophie" in this case?

[dapper sun]

yea

[red flower]

type name_text is only the name?

[dapper sun]

oh

i added that bc it wasn't showing before

[red flower]

also did you make it so it processes the Upgrade table

because it won't by default

[dapper sun]

processes?

i assume i haven't

[red flower]

the game pre-processes the localization so you can't just add a new localization table without hooking the respective functions

[dapper sun]

how would i do that?

[red flower]

also Upgrade is too generic anyway and might clash with other mods so I recommend not doing that

use the Other table instead of Upgrade and do { set = "Other", key = key, vars = vars}

[dapper sun]

ok

i've changed it to set = "Other", key = "elle_upgr_".._c.key

[river grail]

oh dang are those your ocs??

[dapper sun]

yea

[river grail]

i love the purple one

[dapper sun]

she's my pfp rn

yes it is?

its toml

oh

ohhhhhhhhhhh

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[slim ferry]

Lmfao

[obsidian spear]

its meant to be like that

its meant to be patched in so other mods can do the thingy

[slim ferry]

What

What are you doing that makes it so you absolutely cant use select_music_track

[wind steppe]

select_music_track would work perfectly fine in this scenario

[obsidian spear]

theres like more than 3 blinds

idk :(

[dapper sun]

how do i get whether a joker's discovered?

[slim ferry]

Just check if its any of those in select_music_track

[obsidian spear]

may you please show an example

[slim ferry]

Im on mobile so cant rlly rn

But just do the exact checks youre doing with the patch

[clear ocean]

are you able to make a joker unlock if you win a run on a certain stake or complete a number of challanges

[obsidian spear]

win a run on certain stake can be found from vremade

just look for like plasma deck in back.lua

then look at the unlock condition

[clear ocean]

👍

[daring fern]

card.config.center.discovered

[dapper sun]

ty

since i'm in the patch still, i should be able to use _c, right?

[sturdy compass]

Mmm yummy card

[dapper sun]

😋

[daring fern]

Yes.

[dapper sun]

how do i get whether a joker's being looked at in the collection

[clear ocean]

if i use unlock_condition = { type = 'money', extra = X } would i need to patch it for talisman?

and would that only work for positive or at above conditions as im working on a joker that unlocks when you go into debt

[gilded narwhal]

hey chat how do you recreate the thing where consumables go to the center of the screen before they're used?

[clear ocean]

would i need to do something like an if statement like it talisman then or would the dummy function work

[slim ferry]

no

because that already checks if to_big exists

and only creates the dummy function if it doesnt

[red flower]

this up to the start_dissolve line recreates that
it says G.jokers because it's for jokers that can be used as consumables

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/0a5c0f6951f7f3073acb7f06ee1fafed950eef16/src/pendulum.lua#L125

[clear ocean]

okay thanks so if i just put it in the main or a preload file (like atlas) it should just be fine

[slim ferry]

yea

[gilded narwhal]

peak tysm

[daring fern]

if card.area.config.collection

[fluid steppe]

SHES SO CUTE???

[dapper sun]

ty

[wind steppe]

note that that doesnt work for stats screen

[clear ocean]

idea/theme is a loan shark but not fully sure what the effect should be

maybe takes part of your payout and gains chips?

should i include the minus part in the number?

[clear ocean]

how about this?

[sharp arch]

     vol = 0.6,
    pitch = 0.7, 
    key = "drop", 
    path = "music_Drop.ogg",
}``` how owuld i use selectmusictrack here if i want it to replace title screen music

[gilded narwhal]

here's what i was using it for

[sharp arch]

if i'm right, I just need a bare selectmusictrack right

[daring fern]

select_music_track = function() return G.STAGE == G.STAGES.MAIN_MENU end

[sharp arch]

     vol = 0.6,
    pitch = 1.0, 
    key = "music_drop", 
    path = "music_Drop.ogg",
    select_music_track = function() 
        return G.STAGE == G.STAGES.MAIN_MENU

         end
}``` ok so now how do i sync it with my config options

[daring fern]

return SMODS.Mods.modid.config.copyrighted_music.drop and G.STAGE == G.STAGES.MAIN_MENU

[final valley]

Can someone playtest my mod

[clear ocean]

sure i can do that

[dapper sun]

bumping this now that i've implemented everything else abt the feature

[clear ocean]

give me a moment

personal stuff real quick and i am going test out the mod fully

[final valley]

okay 🙂

[daring fern]

Hook generate_card_ui and localize

[final valley]

It doesn't add too much, it's like 11 jokers and that's it

[dapper sun]

i'm already patching into generate_card_ui

all my code for this is in that patch

[sharp arch]

how would i get if ha hand has a level greater than one when played

[vast night]

Guess whos back to ask questions that have surely been asked before:
I've been stumped on how to destroy every card in the current hand before they score. context.destroy_card scores the cards first, what i dont want

[daring fern]

if context.before then return {func = function() SMODS.destroy_cards(context.full_hand) end} end

[daring fern]

local passed = false
for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    if SMODS.is_poker_hand_visible(k) and v.level > G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].level then
        passed = true
    end
end
if passed then
end

[clear ocean]

@final valley well we are off to a good start

not jokerforge 💔

not sure if you forgot to fill out a field or something but there are several errors

[dapper sun]

how would i patch here?

[clear ocean]

let me delete detergent and see what the others do

[vast night]

Wait I forgot that that existed tysm <3

While im at questioning, how do i debuff/undebuff a joker on round start?

im gonna crtl+f it rq

[broken rivet]

multiline patch target?

you might have to escape the single quotes

[clear ocean]

@final valley yeah sorry there is bug upon bug

[dapper sun]

o i didn't know u could do that i'm not too familiar with patch stuff

[red flower]

what are you trying to accomplish

[final valley]

uh. ok

wow

eh i made it for fun anyways

[dapper sun]

#💻・modding-dev message

[sharp arch]

is there an any_rank variable for enhancements or does it just not

[red flower]

why don't you just add it to the name
or do Upgrade - #1#

[clear ocean]

fair enough

joker is done out of the art which is fine since its in alpha

[dapper sun]

because it's directly using joker centers, not a custom info_queue type thingy

also somethingcom515 said to patch

[willow scroll]

chat how do i create a balatro ui slider like in the settings for audio

[red flower]

i dont like patching here personally, how are you doing the centers

[vast night]

-# Suspicously bumping this

[red flower]

create_slider iirc

[willow scroll]

thank you

[daring fern]

No.

[daring fern]

No, I said to hook.

[dapper sun]

oh

mb

[dapper sun]

in a generate_card_ui patch

if (upgrade_center.discovered) then
    upgrade_center.config = copy_table(upgrade_center.config) -- OG vars
    local upgrade_vars = _c.elle_upgrade.values and _c.elle_upgrade:values(card) or {}
    for k, v in pairs(upgrade_vars) do
        upgrade_center.config.extra[k] = v
    end
    
    -- Use correct localization
    local upgrade_loc_values = upgrade_center:loc_vars({}, {ability = upgrade_center.config, config = {center = upgrade_center}}).vars
    upgrade_center.loc_vars = function() return {vars = upgrade_loc_values} end
else
    upgrade_center = {set = "Other", key = "elle_upgr_not_discovered"}
end

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = upgrade_center```

[vale grove]

how do you change the error text to something custom from your mod?

[dapper sun]

so,, how do i hook localize? i've only hooked functions that have a self argument

[buoyant crag]

was searching the channel's message history for any insight on suits having custom effects and saw this as a similar idea, was curious as to how you implemented it? Since suits don't have calculate functions im wondering if its something i have to write a patch for

[daring fern]

Hook eval_card

[sturdy compass]

Practically like any other hook. Just make sure you include all of the arguments fromt he original func

[dapper sun]

idk how to do that i've not rly done much hook stuff 😭

nvmd i think i got it

[sturdy compass]

Here's an example

[dapper sun]

yea i think i've got it lol

[sturdy compass]

nice

[dapper sun]

how do i tell the hook when it should do it?

(when it's handling the name of the upgrade preview)

[novel violet]

got a nice little proof of concept going here

development going pretty well on super paper balatro :D

oh oops should've thrown this in the other modding channel - mb

[vale zinc]

There any way to hook context.selling_card, to know when a card is being sold without having to have that ability dependent on a held card?

[daring fern]

No, because you can only hook functions, but yes, use the mod calculate.

[vale zinc]

You're saying I can hook calculate?

[daring fern]

No, SMODS.current_mod.calculate

[dapper sun]

okay so the localize hook isn't working out for me

i can't figure out how to add a check

bc all i can access is the ui tables

[vale zinc]

Trying to look around for that, but I can't find a calculate() function within src/utils.lua.

Here's what I'm asking for: I want to keep a table of every consumable card sold in the current run.

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to define it yourself.

[obtuse silo]

don't know why this is not triggering on hands with a spade in them
(context is, i'm making a joker that "builds up" tarot cards when a hand is played without a spade, then gives the stored tarots when a hand with a spade is played)

[young leaf]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and card.edition and card.edition.negative then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        end
    end
}```
does card.edition.negative work here?
i was told to use it but this is not triggering

[obtuse silo]

i know this is irrelevant but i swear that i recognise you from somewhere

oh actually i don't think card.edition.negative works
maybe try card.edition.key = "e_negative"

[daring fern]

No, it does.

[obtuse silo]

oh

[daring fern]

What is the full joker code?

[young leaf]

    key = "senel",
    path = 'jokers.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
})

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "senel",
    loc_txt = { name = 'Senel',
    text = { 'X5 Mult',
    'if this Joker is',
    'Negative'}
    },
    pos = { x = 2, y = 2 },
    atlas = 'senel',
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 5,
    config = { extra = { xmult = 5 } },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and card.edition and card.edition.negative then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        end
    end
}```

[young leaf]

ive been around (and constantly asking for help because i cant code to save my life)

also yes i know i haven't added the colors to the text yet im doing that after i get it working

[young leaf]

Actually, you were right! i needed to replace card.edition.negative with card.edition.key == "e_negative"
thank you so much for the help

[obsidian spear]

How does one force a font to everything?

[vale zinc]

In Balatro's functions/misc_functions.lua, there's a set_consumable_usage() function that kicks in when a consumable card is used; d'you know of anything similar for selling such a card?

[rigid pebble]

Idk man

have you ever heard of a lovely patch

[obsidian spear]

fuck off george 😭

[rigid pebble]

maybe you could lovely patch it out

[rocky plaza]

best guess is to patch the smods localize_box function?

unless u mean
literally everything
like the ui fonts

[obsidian spear]

which file

[rocky plaza]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/14ab7d4784140448a0e709eca2f1a90ce155a097/src/utils.lua#L2476

[obsidian spear]

what would the patch header look like?

sorry if im asking alot from you

[rigid pebble]

[obsidian spear]

wait I could change G.LANG.font

[rocky plaza]

also make sure its a toml

ah

[obsidian spear]

final question how do I make balatro a crypto miner

[rocky plaza]

😭

[obsidian spear]

/srs

[rigid pebble]

Have you ever heard of a lovely patch? Maybe you could lovely patch crypto mining in?

[clear smelt]

maybe you should povely latch

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
    if context.selling_card then
        -- Code
    end
end

[rocky plaza]

step 1:
make crypto mining program
step 2:
force game to install mining program when desired
step 3:
force game to execute said program
step 4:
profit???

[obsidian spear]

ahh

[clear smelt]

or you could just lovely patch it

[obsidian spear]

joker idea, 5x mult but you are ||crypto mining||

[clear smelt]

dont leak our cold beans ideas

[rigid pebble]

yeah

[versed swan]

not really sold on "5x mult but pc resource hog" tbh

[obsidian spear]

shhh

[versed swan]

gotta be more than that xP

[obsidian spear]

2x mult

per card

[vale zinc]

That won't work for my purpose, I want this to take place regardless of what card's being used. Like how The Ox keeps track of the most-played hand.

[rigid pebble]

but it makes me money

crypto minin

[versed swan]

yeah $0.02/hr

[daring fern]

No, that's what it does.

[rigid pebble]

per player
and actually it just installs a virus

[rocky plaza]

besides i dont think people would be comfortable installing a mod that could potentially install crypto miners

[clear smelt]

deletes system 32

for +2 mult

[rocky plaza]

hotpot is crazy but its not the kinda crazy to install malware

[rigid pebble]

so if 50 download that's 20 cents an hour constantly among the 5 of us

[rigid pebble]

we won't tell em

shhh

[versed swan]

that doesnt make it any better

[clear smelt]

its a feature

[rocky plaza]

also the fact that you are implying that this is to make profit makes this less ethical

[vale zinc]

Do I need to hook that or patch it or can I plop it in my utility/functions.lua file as is?

[rigid pebble]

we're not going to do it

i think

[clear smelt]

well its a joker ur doing it to yourself

[rocky plaza]

well
ur still deceiving unsuspecting users

[rigid pebble]

nah just retroactive across the whole mod

[wind steppe]

new joker: x0.5 mult but removes viruses from your comoputer

[clear smelt]

cleaner

[rocky plaza]

McAfee joker:

[wind steppe]

mcafee is this

[clear smelt]

mcafee joker gives viruses

and cleans 1 virus

viruslatro

[vale zinc]

Any pointers for me?

[wind steppe]

no hooks or patches needed

[rocky plaza]

whats the goal

[wind steppe]

mod calculate is essentially just "what if your mod was a joker that was always there"

[vale zinc]

My goal is keeping a table of every consumable card that's been sold in the current run.

[wind steppe]

it doesnt have access to a couple things (like context.joker_main) though

[rigid pebble]

no lovely patches?

[obsidian spear]

uuuh how do I change font of everything

cuz i havent gotten it work

please dear god make the pain of font setting stop

[vale zinc]

Earth to @rocky plaza?

[rocky plaza]

im trying to figure out a good way to check if an arbitrary card is a consumable

[vale zinc]

Say, if it has a use() function?

[rocky plaza]

maybe

[daring fern]

card.ability.consumeable

[wind steppe]

thats what vanilla uses

[vale zinc]

So, would if context.selling_card and card.ability.consumeable suffice?

[rocky plaza]

if context.selling_card and context.card.ability.consumeable

[tight pumice]

Anyone know how to check for a specific tarot being used?

[tight pumice]

I know you can do context.consumeable.ability.set == "Tarot" to check if a tarot is being used but I want to check a specific tarot

[wind steppe]

anyone know why its crashing

and what i would fix

[daring fern]

No, it's consumeable not consumable

[wind steppe]

context.consumeable.config.center.key

[rocky plaza]

ah
spelling is very important lmao

[vale zinc]

Could I also use that to get the ID of the card being sold?

[rocky plaza]

yes
that would be the key of the consumable being sold

and if u store it in a table

you could recreate a consumable from a randomly selected key

[rocky plaza]

which line is the line where the issue is coming from

[vale zinc]

I did something similar for another Joker of mine (which I've since upgraded to Legendary).

[wind steppe]

second-to-last

        G.shared_stickers[self.key]:draw_shader('dissolve',0, nil, nil, self.children.center,scale_mod, rotate_mod,nil, 0.1 + 0.03*math.sin(1.8*G.TIMERS.REAL),nil, 0.6)
``` this one

[tight pumice]

context.consumeable.config.center.key == "sun" should check for if the sun tarot is being used no?

if context.using_consumeable and not context.blueprint and context.consumeable.config.center.key == "sun"

[vale zinc]

Try c_sun, I think that's what it's stored as.

[tight pumice]

Gotcha

[wind steppe]

yeah "c_sun"

[tight pumice]

Is there a place with those documented?

[wind steppe]

consumables always have "c_" before them

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/tree/main

[tight pumice]

I run into issues sometimes with figuring out the names for things stored in the game

[tight pumice]

I use this a lot but where does it have those kinds of names?

It has the keys but I think I might just need to keep stuff in mind like consumeables having c_ before them

[wind steppe]

the keys yeah

[young leaf]

this is probably a common question but
how do you fill in that empty box?

[red flower]

https://jokerforge.jaydchw.com/keys

[red flower]

how are you adding the empty box

[sour garden]

you need to define the infobox in descriptions -> other -> name_of_infobox

in localization

[young leaf]

i think it was automatically created because i created a tag called cloned tag

[young leaf]

and thats localization for the tag and not the joker that mentions it right

[red flower]

how does your loc_vars function look like

[sour garden]

how do you check if a joker has a stake sticker in the collection? is it like regular stickers, with something like "joker.ability.gold"?

instead of joker.ability.perishable

[cerulean rose]

would reccomend seeing how the game sets these upon beating a run

[sour garden]

was hoping there was smods documentation, but i suppose that's fair

[young leaf]

wait no i see it how i made it duh

        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = 'tag_cloned', set = 'Tag' }
        local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'cl_baron')
        return { vars = { numerator, denominator } }```
i made it with info_queue

[tight pumice]

Thanks, absolutely perfect

[red flower]

the tag key is missing your mod's prefix

[young leaf]

ohhhhhh

so would that be prefix_tag_cloned or just prefix_cloned

[red flower]

tag_prefix_cloned

[young leaf]

i fear i am simply never right with these sorts of things

[sour garden]

welp. time to start looking

[red flower]

joker.sticker_run it seems
or get_joker_win_sticker(joker.config.center)

[sour garden]

thank you

[young leaf]

        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = 'tag_cl_cloned', set = 'Tag' }
        local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'cl_baron')
        return { vars = { numerator, denominator } }
    end,```
gosh darn it, that box still is empty

[red flower]

is that your prefix

if it is you should change it to something more unique anyway

[young leaf]

i mean yeah maybe

[red flower]

this is how i do it in my mod btw
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/0a5c0f6951f7f3073acb7f06ee1fafed950eef16/src/jokers/01Dragonmaid.lua#L165

[mystic river]

is there a way to put a hash # in a name or description without it getting eaten by the parser

[cerulean rose]

wait why would a # in a mod name get eaten by the parser

[frosty rampart]

not a mod name, the name/description of a card
it'd get eaten by the parser because localization lets you do #1# to have variables

[tight pumice]

Trying to make effects that only work on scored cards by using stuff like context.scoring_hand but it still affects cards that are debuffed, is there a way around that

[young leaf]

yeah that did not help either D:

[tight pumice]

Figured it out nvm

if not scored_card.debuff checks for if its debuffed

[young leaf]

to be hyper hyper specific
this first image is my code for the cloned tag
this second image is for the joker that creates it
its probably something obvious since i started modding and coding like last week

[cerulean rose]

wait you can use loc vars in a joker's name?

[cerulean rose]

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_TAGS.tag_cl_cloned

[frosty rampart]

pretty sure, yea

[young leaf]

good news! the text box is no longer empty
bad news! the text box is no longer there

this is hell and steammodded is my tormentor

[young leaf]

if it helps i should point out most of the Baron code here is just from VanillaRemade's Diet Cola

the only thing i changed was the condition, added probability, and changed what tag it summoned
which is why it was originally just tag_cloned

[junior tapir]

Why does my pattern not work when it's more than a single line?

[patches.pattern]
target = "localization/en-us.lua"
pattern = '''
j_egg={
    name="Egg",
    text={
        "Gains {C:money}$#1#{} of",
        "{C:attention}sell value{} at",
        "end of round",
    },
},
'''
position = 'at'
payload = '''
j_egg={
    name="Egg",
    text={
        "{C:dark_edition}Egg{}"
    },
},
'''
match_indent = true ```

[versed swan]

might be due to the way variables are being searched

havent looked into the code but i assume it probably goes "if #, look at next character, if not digit, then move on" and the # is unintentionally discarded

[young leaf]

oh also the game crashes whenever Baron tries to summon the tag
it says theres a nil value somewhere in here but not anywhere specific

im sorry one of my characters is named Baron he has nothing to do with mr. kings held in hand gives x1.5 mult

[mossy anchor]

how do i retrigger adjacent cards in a enhancement

[cerulean rose]

mod calculate maybe?

[mossy anchor]

yeah but how do i retrigger the cards

i cant find anything to retrigger cards

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local other_joker = nil
        for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do
            if G.hand.cards[i] == card then other_joker = G.hand.cards[i + 1] end
        end
        return SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context)
    end``` doesnt seem to work

[pale holly]

    config = { extra = {real_ante = 0}},
        loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.real_ante }  }
    end, 
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
            if G.GAME.round_resets.ante >= G.GAME.win_ante and context.ante_end and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
                card.ability.extra.real_ante = G.GAME.round_resets.ante - (G.GAME.win_ante - 1) 
                ease_ante(-card.ability.extra.real_ante)
                 G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante = G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante or G.GAME.round_resets.ante
                 G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante = G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante - card.ability.extra.real_ante
            end
        end

trying to make my joker to always go back to the ante before the winning ante (for exemple, if the winning Ante is 8, you'll always be set back to Ante 7 if you try getting past Ante 8)
but right now my code just..crash the game, no error message, just crash, what did i do wrong ?

[pale holly]

it's context.repetition and repetitions that is equal to how many you want for example repetitions = card.ability.extra.retriggers

blueprint doesn't work for scoring cards just jokers

[wintry solar]

You can’t patch localization files

[junior tapir]

then how can I edit them?

I can't just hook them, can I?

omg I can

[young leaf]

did you ever get this figured out? I'm having some trouble with this as well

[narrow iron]

uhh, maybe, i havent modded in a bit so i dont exactly remember what my issue was

could you explain what your having trouble with?

[mossy anchor]

so it would be 1 here?

[young leaf]

this is the code, I'm trying to make a joker who creates a custom tag
however i cannot get it to properly get that custom tag, it crashes instead

[pale holly]

well if you want it to retrigger once, yeah

[young leaf]

the popup box is also empty, which makes me believe they are both issues with G.P_TAGS.tag_cl_cloned

[narrow iron]

i remember now, let me go check the code i used for that

[young leaf]

to clarify the tags key is "cloned" and the prefix is "cl"

[narrow iron]

terraria is the prefix, the tag is lesserMult

            info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = 'tag_cl_cloned', set = 'Tag'
        end,```

that should work for you

[pale holly]

Bumping this again

[mossy anchor]

but what do i return in the calculate func

[pale holly]

just to be sure, what you want is your playing cards to retrigger right ?

[mossy anchor]

yes

i want my playing cards to retrigger including enhancements

[pale holly]

all cards no matter what ?

[mossy anchor]

yes

[pale holly]

and just once ?

[mossy anchor]

yeah

wait no not all cards

only adjacent cards

[pale holly]

why you state other_joker then

[mossy anchor]

stealing code from vremade blueprint

[young leaf]

it unfortunately did not :(
thank you so much for helping though

[pale holly]

for rettrigering playing cards, you should have checked seizer andhanging chad too

[mossy anchor]

ive never seen those two jokers

[pale holly]

but anyway

    if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
if other_joker then
    return { message = localize("k_again_ex"), repetitions = 1}
            end
        end

something like that should do the work, but blue print here won't do anything

[narrow iron]

dang, i hope you can figure it out tho
my suggestion would be to look at how another mod does it and try to replicate that

[mossy anchor]

wait wouldnt this just retrigger every card played

[young leaf]

ive been given a few, they all seem to do it differently
i shall continue that hunt though

[pale holly]

that's why i set other_joker

but i think there's a way to properly does this

just gave you most of what i knew

[mossy anchor]

that just retriggers every card played if theres a card to the right of it

[pale holly]

oh yeah i might be wrong on that

i think you still gotta experiment about it cuz i'm not sure you can exactly retrigger adjacent jokers

but the code i shared should help a bit

agh

       calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then 
    local random_edition = poll_edition("modprefix_seed", nil, true, true)
    SMODS.add_card { set = "pr_food", area = "G.jokers", edition = random_edition }
    end
    end

what i'm doing wrong ?

SMODS.ObjectType({
    key = "pr_food",
    default = "j_ice_cream",
    cards = {
        j_gros_michel = true,
        j_egg = true,
        j_ice_cream = true,
        j_cavendish = true,
        j_turtle_bean = true,
        j_diet_cola = true,
        j_popcorn = true,
        j_ramen = true,
        j_selzer = true,
        },
    inject = function(self)
        SMODS.ObjectType.inject(self)
        -- insert base game food jokers
    end,
})

i've set everything

[young leaf]

to be honest with the wording "anyway" i thought you were just commenting on something unrelated and being mean
i deeply apologize for that assumption the problem was, in fact, my prefix

[mossy anchor]

uh

is it normal for enhancement calculate functions to be ran when cards are being added to the hand

because my enhancement is dying because the calculate function that retriggers them are being ran before one of the cards are there and dying

and if so how do i make it only run when the card is played and not when its being added into the hand at the start of a blind

nvm i needed if context.cardarea ~= G.play then return end

[pale holly]

okay so apparently area = "G.jokers" was the issue..

[mossy anchor]

bruhhh

whhy wothn t it owrk

[elder rune]

close enough to Breuhh

Hi

[mossy anchor]

hello

do you know how to replay playing cards

retrigger*

[elder rune]

repetitions

[mossy anchor]

like specifically adjacent cards to another card

im trying to make a enhancement that retriggers adjacent cards

[elder rune]

okay wait retrigger a playing card from a playing card?

[mossy anchor]

yeah

[elder rune]

first you gotta get the index of the playing card within whatever area its supposed to target (I presume G.play)

[mossy anchor]

yeah

[elder rune]

So have you done that

[mossy anchor]

ive done it

[elder rune]

and then gotten the indecies of the adjacent ones?

[mossy anchor]

yeah

ive got lua calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.cardarea ~= G.play then return end local card2 = nil local card1 = nil for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do if G.hand.cards[i] == card then card1 = G.hand.cards[i + 1] end if G.hand.cards[i] == card then card2 = G.hand.cards[i - 1] end end end so far

[elder rune]

uh I can't be bothered doing it rn but like check how jokers do it idk

[mossy anchor]

i removed the other failed attempts to retrigger the cards cause it either crashed or did nothin

ive tried checking how jokers do it but from what i can gleam none of them have anything to retrigger a specific playing card

they all retrigger every card

[elder rune]

well what they do is that when a playing card is scored, they find its index and check if its e.g. the rightmost or the 2nd card before then returning repetitions iirc

[mossy anchor]

pretty sure what you are saying is about blueprint

i havent found any jokers that retrigger specific playing cards

the only ones i can find retrigger EVERY card played

[elder rune]

modded ones

[mossy anchor]

i dont know any mods that have jokers that retrigger cards

[shell timber]

vanillaremade hanging chad

[elder rune]

real

[mossy anchor]

i mean like

specific cards

instead of every card

[elder rune]

does he know?

hanging chad retriggers one card

[mossy anchor]

fuck me

rahh

my dumbass forgot how hanging chad works

actually no

i win

vremade technically isnt a mod

[shell timber]

vremade is a mod

[mossy anchor]

technically not

it adds nothing new

technically not a mod

it doesnt modify anything

everything stays the same

[elder rune]

no it modifies the game

[mossy anchor]

it does not infact modify the gaem at all

it functions the exact same as vanilla

[mystic river]

the noble context.other_card:

[mossy anchor]

not working

[slim ferry]

no it doesnt it adds a second copy of everything in vanilla

[young leaf]

depends on the kind of wobbly youre talkin

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#text-motion-modifier-e
if you want something from vanilla, here are the three kinds of moving text it uses

[obsidian spear]

Faster E:1

If it means patching forget it, it's a one time thing, so I wouldn't care

[dense fulcrum]

can you use calculate functions outside of smods objects? I'd like to add a mechanic that only works in certain contexts

[slim ferry]

SMODS.DynaTextEffect

not really any documentation on it outside of the PR for it i think

[dense fulcrum]

hi eris :3
