hello

#

SMODS.current_mod.calculate

#

= function(self, context)

dense fulcrum
#

does that have to be a hook, or is it as simple as you're writing it?

if context.modify_ante and context.ante_end and G.GAME.round_resets.ante >= G.GAME.win_ante then
    return {modify = (G.GAME.win_ante-1)-G.GAME.round_resets.ante}
end

#

alright thanks

#

Thanks it works properly

dense fulcrum
slim ferry
#

yeah because

#

context.main_scoring only calculates for playing cards that have been scored

im having a hard time figuring out which context im meant to be using then

How do I get variables from config = {} to show up within the in_pool() specification?

slim ferry
#

self.config?

vale zinc
#

That did the trick.

#

Does context.card.ability.consumeable really determine whether or not a certain card is a consumable? I have a SMODS.curent_mod.calculate() function that goes off of if context.selling_card and context.card.ability.consumeable, but it apparently doesn't activate.

daring fern
vale zinc
# daring fern Yes.

And does context.consumeable.config.center.key specify the name of the consumable card being sold?

what is to_big and why it is nil?

image.png
#

and how to fix that

sour garden
#

to_big is a thing that the talisman mod uses

#

the way talisman stores numbers is by converting them to tables

#

generally a lot of functions are incompatible with them, but if you're not specifically working with talisman, then you can define these somewhere in your code and it should(?) work

local to_big = to_big or function(num)
  return num
end
local to_number = to_number or function(num)
  return num
end

Anything that I put in SMODS.current_mod.calculate() doesn't execute. What do I do?

prisma loom
#

Is it inherently incorrect?

daring fern
slim ferry
# prisma loom

you probably want to be checking context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

#

instead of checking blind requirement

#

and joker main

vale zinc
# daring fern Code?

Within my utility/functions.lua file there is:

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
    -- My code is in here
end
daring fern
vale zinc
#

Yes, of course! And I was told that SMODS.current_mod.calculate was like an invisible Joker card that's always being held no matter what.
Also, everything else in the file works without a hitch.

prisma loom

yeah

thats probably easier

i have a deck that's supposed to unlock when you have gold stake stickers on 10 or more jokers. i might've implemented this wrong, but i'm not sure what i've done wrong

  check_for_unlock = function(self, args)
      if G.P_CENTER_POOLS["joker"] then
        local count = 0
        for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS["joker"]) do
          if get_joker_win_sticker(v.config.center) >= 10 then
            count = count + 1
          end
        end
        if count >= 10 then
          unlock_card(self)

# slim ferry what is the code inside of the function?

It's meant to keep a table of every consumable card that's been sold in the run.

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
    G.GAME.LAPSEMS_consumables_sold = G.GAME.LAPSEMS_consumables_sold or {}
    if context.selling_card and context.card.ability.consumeable then
        if not (LAPSEMS.contains(G.GAME.LAPSEMS_consumables_sold, context.card.config.center.key)) then
            G.GAME.LAPSEMS_consumables_sold[#G.GAME.LAPSEMS_consumables_sold + 1] = context.card.config.center.key
        end
    end

have you tried putting prints at different parts to see where it goes wrong?

it should show up in the debugplus console

just make sure to turn off "Only show commands" in the debugplus config

dapper sun
#

how do i make destroying cards outside of a calculate function do the context stuff like context.remove_playing_cards

slim ferry
#

either use SMODS.destroy_cards (calculates the context automatically) or use SMODS.calculate_context to manually do it

dapper sun

#

it works yippee

do any of the other functions in the same file load?

replace modid with your actual mod id

that means the function exists, so it should be getting called

#

okay idk, try eval SMODS.Mods.Lapsems:calculate({})

Since there's the code to initialize the table if it doesn't already exist, I should se something like this:

Are you defining the function twice in your code or something?

No, I've only defined it once!

you didn't type this and not save your changes, right?
I've done that a non zero amount of times

vale zinc
#

Nope, I've saved it all.

normal crest

cus I can't think of any other reason if you have it saved

removing that one should fix it then

Now it's telling me that cards_to_select is a nil value!

remove cards_to_select = nil

#

the events happen after the code runs

vale zinc
#

Wouldn't that leave cards_to_select's value floating around in memory?

daring fern
normal crest
#

^ after there are no more references to it, in this case after the events run

#

actually, not even, since cards_to_select is by itself a reference to consumables_sold

slim ferry
#

its a local variable anyway

normal crest
#

well anyway, you don't need to do = nil for this

vale zinc
#

Using The Prisoner takes cards out of the G.GAME.LAPSEMS_consumables_sold pool, which I wanted to avoid by stuffing them in a cards_to_select table. What do I do?

image.png image.webp
slim ferry
#

dont use table.remove

normal crest
#

cus cards_to_select isn't a copy of the table, it's just a reference to the same one

slim ferry
#

doing x = <table> makes x reference the same table, rather than copying over the values

normal crest
#

you can use balatro's copy_table function to make a copy if you want

#

local cards_to_select = copy_table(G.GAME.blah blah blah)

#

also you probably wanna use pseudorandom instead of math.random so your random number stuff is seeded

when i play a card the game crash and tell me that the context.card is nil

daring fern
mystic river
#

you want context.other_card

bleak shore
# daring fern What is the goal?

when you discard my joker flip and then when you play a card the value of the card stack on the joker , when the face of the joker is front and you play a card it add all of the chip he have and reset to 0

#

so i need to get the value of the card i played when he is face down

mystic river
#

context.card only exists in a small handful of contexts; in this case you want context.other_card

Is there any functional difference between these two statements?

table[#table + 1] = element
table.insert(table, element)
rocky plaza
#

no

#

not really

slim ferry
#

table.insert is slower

#

in terms of performance

#

i dont think the difference is that big tho

vast night
#

im confused

slim ferry
#

well table.insert is meant to insert values into the middle of number-indexed tables and shift over all elements appropriately

#

so it like does a bunch of extra checks for that

#

if youre adding to the end itll still do all those checks but just do nothing

#

or well itll do more stuff than the table[#table+1] thing

hey gang - I'm wanting to create a new type of "tag" that will ideally in the future be distinct from the ingame tags, but right now i'm just using SMODS.Tag for proof-of-concept's sake
what would be a good way to make a tag do something when cards are scored? right now i have it to where a custom tag gets consumed after the scoring hand is played, but i can't really think of a great way to access the scoring hand let alone add mult from the SMODS.Tag apply function, so I imagine it'd have to be another way, and I'm not sure where to go from there ;P

indexing table is also another operation

while we're at new card types: I'm in search of having a function to be able to create a ui card element (not a new class/type) so i can have it be able to render a background, a sprite + a soul sprite from an atlas and convert it to an ui element. does anything like that already exist?

also basically anything referencing providence can usually be ignored since thats related to a voucher

put the table in a local variable?

obsidian spear
#

sorry for the extremely late ping, but what does it do and how does it work

vast night
#

oh hi paradox :)

normal crest
#

I'd think the biggest slowdown is the actual function call itself not the indexing of table, so while that would make it faster I doubt it's faster than getting the length and adding one

#

i guess you could test it by trying to insert like 10 million elements

#

and see what's faster

Bit of confusion: yahimod doesn't seem to have a file like the 'load the mod's files' file like my mod has. Considering how much of my boss code is ripped from that, do I load both files at once along with everything or do I wait until the boss is called?

So yes I did find a way to make it work, basically I had the joker set a local variable as 1 then change when hand was played to be the same a G.GAME.dollars because G.GAME.dollars can't be updated mid hand which is what I wanted (Btw the reason why I have it set as / 3 is because I didn't want to adjust my numbers while still having X1.5 work):
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.repetition then if card.ability.extra.current_dollars == 1 then card.ability.extra.current_dollars = G.GAME.dollars / 3 end
Then in the function to trigger and give money I had it multiply the local variable that is G.GAME.dollars by my multiplier (1.5) you could also just do it or (0.5):
if context.other_card:is_suit("Diamonds") then card.ability.extra.current_dollars = card.ability.extra.current_dollars * 1.5 card.ability.extra.current_dollars = math.floor(card.ability.extra.current_dollars * 10) / 10 end if context.other_card:is_suit("Diamonds") and context.other_card:is_suit("Spades") then card:juice_up(1,0.5) return { card:juice_up(1,0.5), message = "X1.5", colour = G.C.MONEY, extra = { ease_dollars(card.ability.extra.dollars * card.ability.extra.current_dollars), extra = { xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips } } }

#

Also the xchips is because this specific trigger is for a wild card that trigger two different effects, one spades and one diamonds

stuck ore
daring fern
#

Also you should be returning dollars.

stuck ore
#

idk when I tried it was finicky

daring fern
#

Also you can just use G.GAME.dollar_buffer

stuck ore
#

I've used various different forms of returning dollars in the mod I"m working on this is just what I know works for this and I didn't wanna give false information, I just know this works because this is what I made

daring fern
stuck ore
#

???

daring fern
stuck ore
#

other returns work though

daring fern
stuck ore
#

like ease_dollars or dollars.card.extra.dollars, sorry for the slow response im eating tacos

daring fern
stuck ore
#

Lemme try

#

Fair enough something isn't working right I'll look into that, also for anybody looking into this the logic of how the money scales works I'm just an idiot on making the return work

#

I understand my flaw in the logic, basically because I have used ease_dollars in various things that timing isn't important in, that when I applied it to the triggers since it doesn't use the same return (G.GAME.dollar_buffer) it doesn't interact correctly with other things that make money, thanks for letting me know

hey gang, I made a mechanism using SMODS.current_mod.calculate to apply +5 Mult to context.other_card when a certain tag is present & then juice it up -- just a prototype for a feature that'll probably eventually be distinct from tags! however i've deduced that it is very specifically SMODS.calculate_effect that causes the deck to juice up in a very strange way for some reason? i'm not sure if it's because it thinks other_card is the deck yet somehow applies +Mult to the scoring card directly or if it's both?? lmaoooo either way how do i get the deck to stop doing that without a card argument from the calculate func? :3c

    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
        for i = 1, #G.GAME.tags do
            if G.GAME.tags[i].key == "tag_spm_fireburst" then
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = (function()
                        G.GAME.tags[i]:juice_up()
                        return true
                    end)
                }))
                SMODS.calculate_effect({mult = 5}, context.other_card)
                return true
            end
        end
    end
#

oh volume warning potentially

also i have no idea why it's scoring before the chips, but like, i don't super hate it OMEGALUL i am curious if there's a way to queue it after chips and before other scoring mechanisms like editions and enhancements, though

im doing something Very similar but simpler

and there's this one last bit of code that refuses to work

daring fern

#

so, it's quantum suits in a sense?

#

well, okay ddjkfhsdfkjhsdf

daring fern

nonono

its like, suits are used as their own rank

#

for specifically x of a kinds

daring fern

no but like 😭

#

its its own separate thing

#

i guess

mystic river
hybrid iris
#

im, not asking how to use them, moreso just,, the theory behind them?

daring fern
mystic river
#

the theory is that they let a card have additional ranks

hybrid iris
#

the theory as in, math and code theory

#

like.
gosh this is hard to explain

wind steppe
#

the theory is that theres a function like is_suit

#

but for ranks

#

the issue is its hard as fuck to do straight detection with

hybrid iris
#

yeahhh fair

wind steppe
#

its literally just quantum suits and quantum enhancements and straights are the only thing in the way

hybrid iris
#

oooh

#

what if they were gay and they were pairs instaed

hybrid iris
#

okay thats good, maybe ill just look into how the branch worked

mystic river

#

cause im just figuring out how quantum pairs works

mystic river
#

no, because those are jokers, not playing cards

hybrid iris
#

for my own specific non-rank and non-suit thing

#

im making my own game overhaul

#

where colors count as ranks and pairs and

its,,, a lot to explain

#

NO BUT LIKE

#

sdkfjhsdfkjh its not either suits or ranks

its colors

😭

daring fern

#

basically a custom hand system that allows for quantum colors and ranks for pairs thatu ses an entirely different algorithm from base game

#

yes its a lot and yes its probably not worth it

yes

#

that is what im doing

and in fact

what im asking for help with

Because im trying to figure out how quantum ranks work on a Code Level

# reef belfry finally did it

I think -$5 in yellow text is the proper formatting but otherwise interesting card. Tho I wonder if a constant tax (say, $2) would be better. I suppose it's just feel and playtesting

How would you make this compatible with other suits? It's supposed to give +20 mult if all cards held in hand are the same suit

like modded suits

just save the first card's suit, and if any other card held in hand doesn't match the first card's suit then it's false. otherwise it's true

frosty rampart

if it's not in a lovely patch, then yea it should usually be able to tell you which mod the crash happened in (and the file, and even the line number)
depends on the crash tho, sometimes it's crashing because modded code is sending improper arguments to a vanilla function and that means you might have to dig through the stack trace a bit

I made an enhancement that gains Xchips or Xmult when held in hand.
The problem is that when I create said enhancement it starts endlessly gaining said amounts even if a hand hasn't been played.
How can I fix this?
(maybe by putting another context in the first if but I don't remember which one it was...)

#

yea you need another context
probably context.before, context.main_scoring, or context.after, depending on the timing you want

(context.before upgrades it before any scoring, context.main_scoring upgrades it when a steel card would score, and context.after upgrades it after all the scoring is done)

and not a key

#

just check G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key

#

iirc

urban wasp
#

so just replace the context.blinds with that?

slim ferry
#

yes

urban wasp
#

ok thank you

slim ferry
#

or just

#

not G.GAME.blind.boss

#

since mods might replace small/big blinds

urban wasp
#

no buddy that won't work

#

heh

#

anyway bye

slim ferry
#

what

are you like adding new types of blinds or something

so context.blind is a thing

💔

slim ferry

well i said

#

if it is a thing its probably a table

context.blind is not a blind, it is the center.

G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key gives you the key doesnt it

i cant get the chance to appear accurately

i have this and it just doesnt work idk why( it says 1 in 4 accurately but obtaining an oops all sixes doesnt make it go to 2 in 4)

normal crest
#

it looks correct to me, are you sure you saved the file

vale grove
#

yeah

#

ive been trying many things and just nothing works

normal crest
#

does oops work with other jokers that have probabilities

vale grove
#

yes

#

thats the weird part

#

i use two other jokers and it just doesnt seem to work

vale grove
#

i just put a test in there and it doesnt work

normal crest
#

maybe you're writing in the wrong file

another issue

    if suit_card:is_suit('Diamonds') then
        local dollars = (G.GAME.dollars or 0) + (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0)
        local xmult_factor = math.floor(dollars / card.ability.extra.dollars)
        result.Xmult = xmult_factor > 0 and (card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod * xmult_factor + 1) or 1
        result.message = "earth"
        result.colour = G.C.SUITS.Diamonds

    elseif suit_card:is_suit('Spades') then
        result.mult = card.ability.extra.mult
        result.message = "Air"
        result.colour = G.C.WHITE

    elseif suit_card:is_suit('Clubs') then
        result.chips = card.ability.extra.chips
        result.message = "Water"
        result.colour = G.C.CHIPS
    end

    return result

when i have smeared and play spades and clubs only the spades apply, how do i make that work?

normal crest
#

using elseif means it will only enter through one of those conditions

vale grove
brave blade
normal crest
#

well you can do 3 different if statements, but what do you even want it to do when you play a wild card for example

#

cus if you just make it separate conditions rn only the last one met will actually matter

vale grove
#

okay so for example

#

playing smeared would trigger diamonds and hearts(hearts is before round so doesnt matter) or spades and clubs

#

wild cards would trigger all 4

brave blade
#

I think that's quite a bit more complicated then if you want it to show multiple messages

vale grove
#

maybe

normal crest
#

I think you want something like this

local effects = {}

if is diamonds then
  effects[#effects + 1] = {
    Xmult = something,
    message = "Earth",
    colour = something
  }
end

-- the rest of the if statements the same as above

return SMODS.merge_effects(effects)
daring fern
# 
local effects = {}
if suit_card:is_suit('Diamonds') then
    local result = {}
    local dollars = (G.GAME.dollars or 0) + (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0)
    local xmult_factor = math.floor(dollars / card.ability.extra.dollars)
    result.Xmult = xmult_factor > 0 and (card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod * xmult_factor + 1) or 1
    result.message = "earth"
    result.colour = G.C.SUITS.Diamonds
    table.insert(effects, result)
end
if suit_card:is_suit('Spades') then
    local result = {}
    result.mult = card.ability.extra.mult
    result.message = "Air"
    result.colour = G.C.WHITE
    table.insert(effects, result)
end
if suit_card:is_suit('Clubs') then
    local result = {}
    result.chips = card.ability.extra.chips
    result.message = "Water"
    result.colour = G.C.CHIPS
    table.insert(effects, result)
end

return SMODS.merge_effects(effects)
vale grove
#

wait a sec

daring fern
vale grove
#

yeah that works

#

ty sm

rigid solar
#

Is it possible to check if a mod of higher priority is loaded? afaik SMODS.can_load only checks priorities under ours

normal crest
#

what would be the goal

rigid solar
#

creating a joker compatible with multiplayer, but multiplayer has a crazy high priority

wind steppe
#

you can just make the number even higher

daring fern
rigid solar
#

thx

rigid solar
#

can't seem to make the message transmission properly work anyway
one game does send the message but the other seems to never receive it

#

is there a possiblity that the multiplayer servers filter messages that aren't from the base mod

thanks i'll try this

had to fix a couple small things but it worked ty

rugged crown
#

I wanna see if its possible to basically overhaul the playing cards into something else is that possible?

wind steppe
rugged crown
wind steppe
#

yes its possible

#

you need enhancements that dont show rank or suit

rugged crown
#

i see thats a cool way to do it I just was curious the implentations with playing cards and if it could be adjusted

#

not like mod send excactly just how it changed playing cards but i get what you mean

This thing's effect doesn't apply retroactively. Any pointers?

clear ocean
#

a theme update might be "store credit"

slim ferry
#

you should probably just hook Card:set_cost

#

and then set the cost of all owned jokers in add_to_deck

#

and remove

clear ocean
#

like when i buy old video games and home media usually unless it doesn't work you can only just like exchange it out for another thing or get store credit

vale zinc
slim ferry
#

thats a patch

#

not a hook

clear ocean
#

also usually at least the mom and pop stores you go to its usually better to get the store credit instead of a cash refund as you get more and usually you are already there to get something if that makes sense

slim ferry
#

oh fuck :mister bones:

wind steppe
#

i would fuck mister bones

slim ferry
#

ok

clear ocean
#

oh fuck! i want to get off mr bones wild (card) ride

slim ferry
#

what about ascensio mr bones

wind steppe
slim ferry
#

good

vale zinc
#

Getting back on topic, I patched rather than hook 'cause I wanted to override the game's code of halving buy price to produce sell price under all other circumstances.

#

And would I need to add add_to_deck() and remove_from_deck() functions too?

slim ferry
#

a hook can do that too though

#

well you need to reset the cost of all cards in add/remove from deck anyway

#

wait no

#

uhhh

#

fuck

#

nvm

vale zinc
#

Yeah, that could specify something that was bought for $5 instead sell for $4.

#

Also, is your profile image a Dalek?

slim ferry
#

no

#

its a frog

#

which i shittily edited

slim ferry
vale zinc
#

D'you think I could combine a hook and a patch?

slim ferry
#

no reaosn i think

#

but you should still loop over G.I.CARD and set the cost of everything when the card is added or removed

#

to make it apply retroactively

#

and also go away when you get rid of it

vale zinc
slim ferry
#

no

#

in the card

vale zinc
#

In add_to_deck()?

slim ferry
#

yes

vale zinc
#

And remove_from_deck() too?

slim ferry
#

yes

vale zinc
#

One more thing for now: is there any significance to the patch files' names, or can I name them whatever I please?

slim ferry
#

as long as they are in a folder named lovely the name doesnt matter

vale zinc
#

Does remove_from_deck() get called after the relevant card is removed? I want to check first thing that #SMODS.find_card('j_lapsems_refund') <= 0, so that the card's ability is binary, like Showman and Shortcut.

slim ferry
#

it gets called after its removed

#

you shouldnt need to check if there is another copy since thats already checked in the patch

vale zinc
#

Any pointers, @clear ocean?

hey guys

#

how do i make it so that a joker gives +mult everytime a stone card is scored?

frosty rampart
#

vanillaremade is a great resource
check e.g. any of the jokers that give +mult every time a [suit] card is scored, and then swap the suit condition with checking for if the currently scored card is stone

Having issues with trying to make a joker that works if you discard five cards of a required suit

#

Core logic happens in here

Am I misinterpreting how G.GAME.current_round.discards_left works

#

Here is the crash if this adds any additional context

tight pumice
#

Ur right but somehow that wasn't the only issue

wind steppe
#

ctrl c ctrl v here

tight pumice
#

It stopped crashing, it just doesn't work logically now

#

There's this too, maybe something is wrong here

wind steppe
#

trash_suit seems to inconsistently be a table or a string

#

whats the issue anyways

tight pumice
wind steppe
#

also in the loop it checks for trash_card

tight pumice
#

I think I see what you mean

tight pumice
#

Nothing is breaking anymore, but it isnt giving the spectral card when meeting the requirements

Looks like this now
