show config in joker definition

[daring fern]

It's #context.full_hand == 5 not context.full_hand == 5

[tight pumice]

Well that got it a lot closer to working

Now it works TOO well, it's summoning a spectral card per card discarded

But that's better than it was

I've got it lined up with the implementation for ancient joker, shouldn't it be okay? It runs through each suit but excludes the one that trash_card currently is, right?

[wind steppe]

yeah but youre not updating or checking trash_card in the joker

you're checking trash_suit

[tight pumice]

Oh that's just a naming error

There is no trash_card, I meant to change them all to trash_suit

Whoops

[wind steppe]

try context.pre_discard

[tight pumice]

Thanks

It all works now

Thank god

This one was obnoxious

[lament agate]

how do you detect a joker trigger

[red flower]

you should ask these in the jokerdisplay thread but you can do

text = {
     { text = "+", colour = G.C.MULT},
     { ref_table = "card.ability.extra", ref_value = "mult", colour = G.C.MULT },
     { text = " " }, -- space in between
     { 
          border_nodes = {
               -- xmult stuff
          }
     }
}

[red flower]

context.post_trigger

[lament agate]

is there a way to make that joker trigger it's effect again

[red flower]

just use joker retriggers

[lament agate]

how to?

[gilded blaze]

my code was a so much of huge mess that I actually managed to trigger race condition

[wheat jewel]

i get an error at line 6685 where i try to get an edition of a playing card from the card array but that somehow isn't allowed to be done

[gilded blaze]

too many ipairs calls at once that the next function just fails to work sometimes

yay I love race condition

[wheat jewel]

does there exist a method to get the edition of a card because I couldn't find any documentation for it

[daring fern]

G.play.cards[i].edition and G.play.cards[i].edition.foil

[wheat jewel]

thank you!

[plucky berry]

how do i make a modifier to make all blinds bosses and disable skips?

[vale grove]

how do you localize seals?

i know the format is like
Jokers = {
j_modprefix_jokerkey = {"
name = "test"
text = { text}

but

i cant seem to figure out the logic for seals

<@&1133519078540185692>

[daring fern]

It would be modprefix_key_seal in Other

[vale grove]

so no s_modprefix?

just modprefix?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[vale grove]

alr ty

[vale grove]

            Seals = {
            YA_Discord = {
                name = "test",
                text = {
                    "test"
                }
            }
        }

is there something wrong with this?

YA being my mod prefix Discord being the seal key

return {
    descriptions = {
        Other = {
            Seals = {
                YA_Discord = {
                    name = "test",
                    text = {
                        "test"
                    }
                }
            },
```nestled like this

[daring fern]

No, it's in Other not Seals

[vale grove]

oh just other?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[vale grove]

return {
    descriptions = {
        Other = {
            YA_Discord = {
                name = "test",
                text = {
                    "test"
                }
            },

is there anything wrong with this?

because it just doesnt do anything which i find weird

[slim ferry]

it has to have _seal at the end of the key

[vale grove]

oh right

im so smart

it still doesnt work

this is so annoying

[slim ferry]

show

[vale grove]

return {
    descriptions = {
        Other = {
            YA_discord_seal = {
                name = "test",
                text = {
                    "test"
                }
            },

this is what this looks like right now

the only two differences from the previous one is the capital D (i changed the key)

and the _seal

    key = "discord",
    loc_txt = { name = "Discord", text = {
        'gives you a {C:spectral}Discord {}message ',
        "When this card triggers gain {X:mult,C:white} X1,1{} mult",
        "{C:inactive}did someone ping me?{}"
    } },
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { X_mult = 1.1, } },
    atlas = "discordseal",
    badge_colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Spectral,
```with this being the seal code

[slim ferry]

oh wait

localization keys are all lowercase

also if its just the label not working under the card, you need to have a ya_discord_seal entry in misc.labels

[vale grove]

labels are an issue for later

[slim ferry]

since the text for the collection should work fine

[vale grove]

that ssomething ill get a headache over later

first i wanna get the thingie in dutch because then i can write that off as done

[slim ferry]

ah okay

well i think its just make the key in the loc file all lowercase

[vale grove]

what key tho?

[slim ferry]

the

YA_discord_seal

[vale grove]

bcs my mod prefix is uppercase in other places where it works

[slim ferry]

oh

[vale grove]

            j_YA_mango = {
                name = "Mango",
                text = {
                    '{C:chips}+6{} fiches{}',
                  
``` like this one that works

[slim ferry]

zes zeven

[vale grove]

yes

[slim ferry]

anyway

[vale grove]

it also gives zeven multi

[slim ferry]

i have no fucking clue anymore

[vale grove]

which i accidently left out

[vale grove]

chat zijn we gekookt?

[slim ferry]

things are often chopped and cooked before they're served and ate

or smth

[vale grove]

smth like that yeah

but

can you in that case help with with the error tag?

bcs i wanna be done with the mod for the most part today

because tomorrow evening is the last chance i get to work on it so i dont wanna push things off even more

[slim ferry]

yeah, the seal needs an entry in misc.labels with the text for it

[vale grove]

idk what misc.labels are tho?

i dont even have a label yet lol

[slim ferry]

label is the tag below the description

[vale grove]

so lets start with how does one go about making a label

[vale grove]

i figured but how do you make one?

[slim ferry]

see misc section vanillaremade localization https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/0d158691dc9aac5664bca0e09e531d93519fba04/localization/en-us.lua#L3191

as an example

[vale grove]

oh like that

but what i wanna do is make one label from my mod and apply it to everything

[slim ferry]

i mean that should happen by default for all mods

you might have turned off displaying mod badges in steamodded config

[vale grove]

maybe but i havent even made the label yet

[slim ferry]

it just uses the display_name and badge_colour fields from metadata

or the mod name and white by default

[vale grove]

so like this?

[slim ferry]

yeah

well

without the # before the colour

[vale grove]

okay so

what should that do exactly?

because this makes the label but what does it apply on?

[slim ferry]

any items from your mod iirc

well anything with a standard description, tooltips and blinds wont show it outside the collection

[humble pawn]

Everything you add basically

[vale grove]

now that i think about it

maybe this isnt te play

maybe i just need to do what is more normal lol

[slim ferry]

what

[vale grove]

well i dont think my mod would really benefit from its own label all too much

ofc my seals need labels

[slim ferry]

i mean its like 2 seconds to add

[vale grove]

but besides that i dont think it adds much

[slim ferry]

and mods have it by default regardless

[vale grove]

first let me make the seals label i can "pieker"(idk the english on the top of my head lol)

so how do you update the badge text

[slim ferry]

wdym

did you save

[vale grove]

badge text

im stupid

label text

[slim ferry]

okay but wdym update

[vale grove]

well it says error

id like it to say Discord_seal yk

[slim ferry]

well you have the label in your localization file right

[vale grove]

no not yet but now that i think about it

is it vremade_ sealkey?

[slim ferry]

no vremade is just the vanilla remade mod prefix

[vale grove]

ah

so

YA

[slim ferry]

its just YA_discord_seal still

[vale grove]

aha

[slim ferry]

also vanillaremade is peak

great reference material

[vale grove]

ive taken alot of it and remade it for my own mod yeah

like this one

the 1 in 4 to become a lucky card is straight from midas mask

[slim ferry]

wizar

[vale grove]

nyway

[vale grove]

what do you think of it

i added wizard(tovenaar) and magician(goochelaar)

[slim ferry]

its fun

stone joker core

[vale grove]

this one

might be my magnum opus joker

its thematic, effect and just overall fun to have

is so incredible

[slim ferry]

peak

[vale grove]

and also feels very vanilla to me

but yeah i really like lucky cards

so i thought id add more

[rugged crown]

is it possible with a deck or anything to preset the boss blind for certain antes?

[vale grove]

    misc = {
        labels = {
        YA_discord_seal = "Discord_seal",
        }
    }
```got any clue why this doesnt work?

[slim ferry]

not sure

try making YA lowercase i guess

[vale grove]

oh okay

yeah that was just it

weird

[vale grove]

more of a mod advice

as a fellow dutch person

should i translate discord or keep it the same?

[slim ferry]

i mean discord is a brand name

so should stay the same

[vale grove]

alright

when i looked it up

none of these really make sense either

[slim ferry]

i mean discord is also an actual word

[vale grove]

another fun dutch typo

[slim ferry]

im the $ _ _
3

[vale grove]

theres alot of them

i figured out while translating them

[slim ferry]

its a feature now 🔥

[vale grove]

also

iam doing all of this just for this joker

[slim ferry]

Currently

[vale grove]

currently doesnt matter because this is in collection

[slim ferry]

yeah but currently in dutch

[vale grove]

OH

you righ

ty kind sir

or madam

idk

person🔥

[slim ferry]

true..

balatrue

[vale grove]

balatrue

lmao

but yeah

im doing all of this

just for that one inside joke

of him enjoying translating memes in dutch

[slim ferry]

i mean localization files are also quite a bit more organized imo

[tranquil gull]

is there any good way to set the win ante of a challenge

[slim ferry]

change G.GAME.win_ante in apply

[tranquil gull]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Challenge

doesn't seem to be an apply field

[slim ferry]

there is

[tranquil gull]

why is it undocumented???

[slim ferry]

because the page hasnt been updated since july

*june

and the feature is from after that

[tranquil gull]

what arguments does apply take

[slim ferry]

for challenges its just self iirc

[vale grove]

also eris

one quick question

is it possible to update loc_vars?

when something happens?

like lets say i buy blueprint, for the local vars to then say "you obtained blueprint"

just an exmaple

[hardy viper]

i think it's the same as deck

so you can refer to deck documentation for it ig

[slim ferry]

save a variable in card.ability.extra that tracks stuff for loc_vars

[vale grove]

how do you do that?

[slim ferry]

well that depends on what youre doing

[vale grove]

okay well full context

[slim ferry]

but youll be doing that in calculate

usually

[vale grove]

i have two jokers that are matching with eacother

one stacks itself on highcard

the other gives money and a tarot on highcard

i want both of them to get buffed when you have the other one

so the stacking one gets additional stacking and the money one gives a level to highcard for example

now what i think would be cool would be to update local vars saying like "you found the other end, now gaining (specific buff)

[slim ferry]

you can return key = ... in loc_vars to change the localization key it uses

so you can check for the other in loc_vars and add a key to the return if so

anyway i gotta eat now

[vale grove]

you'll have to give a more indepth explanation of that

but i think i sort of get it

[crystal perch]

how do i detect if you use a specific consumable card. like the judgement tarot card for example
i've tried a lot of permutations of if context.using_consumable and context.consumable.ability.key == "c_judgement" then but nothing seems to work

[frosty rampart]

it's context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable...
with an extra e
because localthunk doesn't fix his typos

[normal crest]

also

the second part should be and context.consumeable.config.center_key

[crystal perch]

[crystal perch]

w mods

[novel violet]

ty mods we love you

mwah type shit

[frosty rampart]

thanks mods

[rigid pebble]

thanks mods

[crystal perch]

yeah it was the typo thing

thank you thunk

💀

[karmic creek]

lol

[novel violet]

i believe that was global thunk, as opposed to local

[plucky berry]

pls i don't want to look at cryptid code anymore

[slim ferry]

see entropy LED as a reference if that helps code | localization

[vale grove]

i think i have an idea one sec

[plain apex]

probably done horribly but i have successfully implemented determining of the latest video on a youtube channel and how many views it has

[vale grove]

okay so what i have in mind

i make two of the same joker desciription in localization

i make a local variable

true = 1 version
false = 2 version

and the variable checks for if the other joker is in joker_main

[slim ferry]

thats pretty similar to what entropy does except that its stored in the ability instead of being a local variable

so you can just return key = <bool> and self.key or <other key>

or the other way around

whichever is before the or is whats used when the bool is true

[vale grove]

                for _, j in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                    if j ~= card and not j.getting_sliced then
                        local key = j.config and j.config.center and j.config.center.key
                        if key then
                            if key:find("ice_cream") then
                                card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + 50
                                j.getting_sliced = true
                                j:start_dissolve({ G.C.RED }, nil, 1.6)
```so something similar to this without the slicing part is what im thinking

[slim ferry]

and probably also using key == ... instead of string.find

but yeah

[vale grove]

wdym?

[slim ferry]

check if the string is equal to something

rather than string.find with some part of the key youre looking for

[vale grove]

oh yeah wait

i should probably put this in update shouldnt i

[slim ferry]

why

[vale grove]

so it always checks for the loc_vars?

[slim ferry]

wdym

loc_vars always runs when hovering the joker

[vale grove]

ohh i see i see

[vale grove]

im having a little trouble actually working this out

[slim ferry]

what is the code currently

[vale grove]

okay well the full code is a little more than just that

but i already have a joker main

        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult

            }
        end
```being this

idk how i add the check for the other joker key into this

[slim ferry]

you should be able to just add key = next(SMODS.find_card(<joker key>)) and self.key .. "_alt" or self.key to the loc_vars return

you can do the same here

by using a different number

instead of a different string

[vale grove]

whats the and self.key used for?

wait actually

[slim ferry]

self.key is the joker key

[vale grove]

just for logical purposes i might need that

this is just kinda making my head spin

[slim ferry]

fun thing about lua is that <condition> and <thing 1> or <thing 2> just works

[vale grove]

ive never worked inside of loc_vars othar than card.abillity.extra smth

[vale grove]

whats the alt used for tin this case tho

[slim ferry]

it adds _alt to the end of the returned key if the other joker is present

so itll get its own key with _alt at the end from the localization instead

[vale grove]

im so confused at all of this

        return { vars = { 
            card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.chip_mod, card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.mult_mod, card.ability.extra.Xmult, card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod },
            key = next(SMODS.find_card(<YA_matthsilly>)) and self.key .. "_alt" or self.key
        }
        
    end
```this on its own already gives 2 errors on they key line

[slim ferry]

yeah you do have to make the joker key a string

in the SMODS.find_card

"j_YA_mathsilly"

[vale grove]

i even then i get this load of errors

[slim ferry]

show the code in editor

[slim ferry]

yeah remove the <>

[vale grove]

okay so

now i just make in my loc_vars

what i have and add _alt

and then just

it works?

[slim ferry]

well assuming you have that key in your localization file yes

[vale grove]

yes i do

[slim ferry]

okay yeah then it should work

[vale grove]

okay got it to work

        Tarot = {
            t_YA_fentanyl = {
                name = "Fentanyl",
                text = {
                    "Geeft een kaart de{C:attention}Fent zegel{}"
                }
            }
        },
        Spectral = {
            s_YA_Everyone = {
                name = "@Everyone",

                    "Geeft een kaart de {C:spectral}Discord zegel{}",
                    "{C:inactive}wtf bro waarom zou je dat doen?{}"
                }
            }
        }

any idea why these arent working? @slim ferry

[slim ferry]

its c as a prefix for any consumable

[vale grove]

i recall them working before

[frosty rampart]

it's still c as a prefix for any consumable

[wind steppe]

you recall wrong then

[vale grove]

correct

[north brook]

hey, fun issue. For whatever reason, a Joker I have crashes when trying to modify a card using a variable. The issue line is

[frosty rampart]

rank takes rank keys, not IDs. so "Jack", "Queen", "King", and "Ace", not "11", "12", "13", and "14"

[north brook]

does the local ranks = { not convert the ID to a Key?

[daring fern]

No, because 10 is 10 but also you're not using it.

[frosty rampart]

you'd need to do ranks[G.GAME.current_round.RevengeRankVar_card.id] in the change_base call itself
and also yes fix 10

[north brook]

holy shit that fixed it

one little change

damn

thanks

I really appreciate it

[strong plume]

Hi, massive noob question - what does the pseudorandom function do? I know the string there is like some seeding for it, but what range does it give out - is it a 0 to 1 deal, a 0 to 100, 0 to 255, what's the usual range of numbers it spits out?

[slim ferry]

its 0 to 1 by default

but you can add the min and max arguments to get a random integer in any other range

[strong plume]

Alright, thanks!

[wicked heron]

if context.starting_shop then
            for i = 1, #G.GAME.tags do
                if G.GAME.tags[i]:apply_to_run({ type = 'new_blind_choice' }) then break end

            end
        end

This code causes all the booster tags to overlap - is there a way to make each tag wait until the previous tag is resolved?

[slim ferry]

why do you need to do this

tags calculate this by default

[wicked heron]

I have a joker that adds booster tags during the round. In the following shop, the tags begin to trigger at unusual times

like when you buy something

the above code is to have the tags trigger when the shop begins

[slim ferry]

they already trigger after ending a booster, the best you can do is just completely copy the original tag calculation if you really want them to go at the start of the shop

[wicked heron]

hmmm, I hear you

I'll dig a little more

was wondering how to get this artist credit popup when you hover over the deck skins
(taken from base game)

[tepid crow]

that's in the base game???

oh it's not, it's something that smods adds to the base game deckskins

[obtuse silo]

oh mb

didn't know that-

[tepid crow]

this is where smods adds it if you care https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/14ab7d4784140448a0e709eca2f1a90ce155a097/src/game_object.lua#L2605

[obtuse silo]

i mean this sort of helps but idk how to get it working-
this isn't mentioned in the smods wiki for some reason, not even in the deckskin page

[obsidian spear]

how do I get the cards in G.play

[daring fern]

G.play.cards

[obsidian spear]

I swear i tried that

but alr

[stone dagger]

Hello. I'm trying to create a deck that spawns a random negative, eternal joker. But when I create the joker it spawns in the Joker area but then I can move it anywhere, can't sell it and it doesn't work. Any idea why?

Here's the create code. I can provide the rest if needed.

SMODS.create_card({set = 'Joker', area=G.jokers, key = random_joker, stickers={"eternal"}, edition="e_negative"})

[slim ferry]

use SMODS.add_card rather than create_card

[stone dagger]

fair enough

[dusty fractal]

do u guys know why a voucher would just not generate in the dictionary in game

Hello, I have a dialogue system for the jokers talking mid-game.
Right now tho it says all 3 lines at once; "remove dialogue" is how long the message stays, but they fire all at once.

How can I add a "delay" to the code'? Is there like a wait function?

[sharp arch]

    key = "jimble",
    path = "jimbonium.png",
    px = 142,
    py = 171,
    atlas_table = 'ANIMATION_ATLAS',
    frames = 70

}``` I KNOW THE CRASH HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS BUT CAN YALL HELP

sorry caps

[daring fern]

Is this for a blind?

[sharp arch]

no its for a joker

[daring fern]

non-Blinds cannot have ANIMATION_ATLASs.

[sharp arch]

what then how do would i animate a joker

[crystal perch]

set it up in a series of G.E_MANAGER events, you can set delay like that

[plucky berry]

guys can someone help me make a challenge similar to Enter the Gungeon in cryptid that code is gibberish for me

i want to make all blind bosses and unskippable

[crystal perch]

like uh

add_to_deck = function(self, card)
  G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event {
    trigger = 'after',
    delay = 0.2,
    func = function()
      card:add_dialogue("whatever")
      return true
    end
  })
  G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event {
      trigger = 'after',
      delay = 0.2,
      func = function()
        card:remove_dialogue(2)
        return true
      end
    })
end,

you can set the delay with the delay value

i think it's in seconds by default, but you can scale it to game speed by multiplying it by G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED

like delay = 0.2 * G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED

[strong plume]

I see, thank you

[sharp arch]

ok well uhh how do I animate a joker

[crystal perch]

i do not know, the vanillaremade wiki is working on a section on that but it's not done yet

i have a question of my own, is there an easy way to change the sound and colour of chip, mult, and xmult calc returns? my current code does not work

return {
  sound = { sound = "foil1", per = 1.2, vol = 0.4 },
  colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION,
  chips = 50
}

it just returns the chips but the colour is still blue and the sound is the default chip sound

[daring fern]

Yes, chip_message

Also sound would be a string.

[crystal perch]

so would per and vol just be separate lines

[sharp arch]

whats the play here

[daring fern]

No, it would be pitch and volume

[daring fern]

When do you want it to play?

[sharp arch]

when the joker is in your joker slots, theres more code to this btw

[daring fern]

Then remove the and G.STAGE == G.STAGES.

[sharp arch]

    key = "music_getr",
    path = "music_jimbum.ogg",
    vol = 0.6,
    pitch = 0.7,
    selectmusictrack = function()
        if G.jokers then
            if next(SMODS.find_card("j_jabong_jimbyramid")) then
                return SMODS.Mods.jamod.config.getr
            end
        end
    end
    
}``` ok so it didnt work, but i'm on the right track, right

[daring fern]

It's select_music_track

What is not working about it?

It's modprefix_key

[crystal perch]

is there a way i could make a pitch scale with scoring? like how the base game does it

[sharp arch]

its supposed to be an automatic thing

[crystal perch]

but it's not subject to that because i'm overriding the default message

[daring fern]

Are you trying to have cards count as having the foil edition?

[crystal perch]

no i have a joker which makes foil, holo, and poly cards score in hand

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card.edition and not context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint then
            if context.other_card.edition.foil then
                return {
                    chips = 50,
                    chip_message = {
                        message = "+50",
                        sound = "foil2", 
                        pitch = 0.8, 
                        volume = 0.4,
                        colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION
                    }
                }
            elseif context.other_card.edition.holo then
                return {
                    mult = 10,
                    mult_message = {
                        message = "+10",
                        sound = "foil2", 
                        pitch = 1.0,
                        volume = 0.4,
                        colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION
                    }
                }
            elseif context.other_card.edition.polychrome then
                return {
                    xmult = 1.5,
                    xmult_message = {
                        message = "X1.5",
                        sound = "foil2", 
                        pitch = 1.2, 
                        volume = 0.4,
                        colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION
                    }
                }
            end
        end
    end
}

[daring fern]

Then you should be hooking Card:calculate_edition

local oldcalcedition = Card.calculate_edition
function Card:calculate_edition(context)
    local g
    if self.edition then
        if (self.edition.foil or self.edition.holo or self.edition.polychrome) and context.cardarea == G.hand then
            if next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) then
                context.cardarea = G.play
                g = oldcalcedition(self, context)
                context.cardarea = G.hand
            else
                g = oldcalcedition(self, context)
            end
        else
            g = oldcalcedition(self, context)
        end
    end
    return g
end

[crystal perch]

oh thank you

[crystal perch]

this seems to disable foil holo and poly from scoring when played?

[tight pumice]

what's the context for just sitting in a blind? no cards selected, nothing being played or discarded

[red flower]

contexts trigger when something happens, if nothing happens there cant be a context
what do you need to do

[tight pumice]

I've got this snippet of code to make the joker jiggle when its active, but its a lil funky

It gets progressively juiced kind of? Seems like if I'm on my last discard and play hands the jiggle gets more intense

So I thought maybe finding a proper context for it to activate the jiggle is the answer

Maybe I should trigger context.after

[red flower]

yeah if theres no context check it will happen over and over

[tight pumice]

I figured that was the issue

I'm unsure what context to use since its discard specific, and there's not a first_hand_drawn equivalent for last discard(?)

[red flower]

just do that check you have right now in context.pre_discard

[tight pumice]

It won't only jiggle once the discard has begun to be used?

[red flower]

if you do the check correctly it will start once you do the second to last discard but yeah if something else messes with discards it wont work

hmm i would probably do it in update then

instead of calculate

[tight pumice]

in update?

[red flower]

yes, check in update when discards is 1 and you're in a blind (G.GAME.blind.in_blind) and start the juice then, you also need to set a flag so it doesnt juice again that blind

it would basically be what you were trying to do

but doing it in calculate would be bad because it will be dependent on contexts instead of being every frame like update

[frosty rampart]

(e.g. if you had a burglar-esque joker that left you with one discard, the joker would never jiggle because you never actually discarded down to the point where you had one discard left, you lost them to external factors)

[tight pumice]

Got it to work, ended up going about it like this

[dusty fractal]

booster_size_mod how does booster_size_mod function?

i was doing a lovely patch but i saw it ha dimplementation

[frosty rampart]

the game adds G.GAME.modifiers.booster_size_mod to the number of cards available in any given booster pack, its default is zero

[dusty fractal]

yeah but trying to access it

it returns as a nil value

[frosty rampart]

right its default is nil if nothing's touched it before

my bad

before you do anything with it, you'll need to check if it's nil, and if it is, set it to 0

[dusty fractal]

ah easy fix

[tepid crow]

how come I only just hear about this existing

oh it's only 3 months old

[lament agate]

how do i color dynatext to look like xmult text

since afaik you can only color the text

[bold gyro]

hey y'all, i'm trying to dick around with shaders. how would i get the horizontal position of a pixel(?)? i've tried to use texture_details.x and sprite_pos_x, which is code from the flipped.fs shader, but both seem to be set as 0 regardless of position.

vec4 effect( vec4 colour, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coords )
{
    vec4 tex = Texel(texture, texture_coords);
    vec2 uv = (((texture_coords)*(image_details)) - texture_details.xy*texture_details.ba)/texture_details.ba;

    const vec3 BALATRO_RED = vec3(0.992, 0.373, 0.333);
    const vec3 BALATRO_BLUE = vec3(0., 0.612, 0.992);
    
    float sprite_width = texture_details.z / image_details.x; // Normalized width
    float sprite_pos_x = texture_details.x * sprite_width; // Normalized pos_x

    vec4 hsl = HSL(tex); // convert texture to HSL values
    vec4 bhsl = HSL(tex); // make a base copy of HSL values

    vec3 sepiaVec = tex.rgb;
    sepiaVec.r = 0.05 + (1 * tex.r + 1 * texture_details.x / sprite_width);
    sepiaVec.g = 0.05;
    sepiaVec.b = 0.1 + (1 * tex.b + 1 * texture_details.x / sprite_width);

    tex = vec4(sepiaVec, tex.a);

    // Does not do anything. Required for shader to not crash.
    if (uv.x > 2. * uv.x) {
        uv = evil;
    }

    // required
    return dissolve_mask(tex*colour, texture_coords, uv);
}

I have an animation bug with my seal by upgrading it it disapear at start of the animation but like I just want it to be upgrade by turning the card. I know why it does that (cause set_seal make the seal nil at start) but how can I solve this

[daring fern]

Code?

[final jewel]

function upgrade_seal(selected_card)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'after',
        delay = 0.4,
        func = function()
            selected_card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
            return true
        end
    }))
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'after',
        delay = 0.15,
        func = function()
            selected_card:flip()
            selected_card:juice_up(0.3, 0.3)
            return true
        end
    }))
    delay(0.2)
    selected_card:set_seal(G.P_SEALS[selected_card:get_seal()].giga_data.seal_upgrade)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'after',
        delay = 0.15,
        func = function()
            selected_card:flip()
            selected_card:juice_up(0.3, 0.3)
            return true
        end
    }))
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'after',
        delay = 0.2,
        func = function()
            G.hand:unhighlight_all()
            return true
        end
    }))
    delay(0.5)
end

I use this function when I need to upgrade a seal

[normal crest]

you could set the seal while the card is flipped and use the immediate argument

[final jewel]

oh yeah. and if like a seal is upgraded while a hand is play like a joker effect does it going to have the effect of the upgraded seal ?

[final jewel]

like that

by doing that it set the seal after the flip animation

[river grail]

Is it possible to give playing cards tooltips without giving it, like, an edition? For example, if I switch the suit of a card, am I able to add a tooltip to the side for elaboration? (It's for the card merging mechanic)

[daring fern]

Yes, patch generate_card_ui

[river grail]

i'll look into that

[normal crest]

no I meant the immediate argument to the set_seal function

and you'd put the set_seal call in an event that happens after 0.2

instead of the delay

[final jewel]

oh

[final jewel]

so like that

[tight pumice]

Is there a way to use pseudorandom stuff to grab a random tag?

[normal crest]

presumably, idk which argument the immediate one is, but also you're forgetting the trigger = "after" on the event

[final jewel]

wait hw does it got remove

hell yeah it work now thx srockw

[normal crest]

np mryamitsu

[red flower]

tag you own or any random tag

[final jewel]

now no one can say that my seal animation are broker

I mean someone was laughing about my wacky animation

[wraith jolt]

is there limit to how many mods can be downloads but not active

[daring fern]

No.

[wraith jolt]

Because I had like 70 and the mod manager keep crashing and deleted like 8 and it came back

[winter flower]

only limit is your storage space

[wraith jolt]

this really odd and this mods were working yersteday too

[winter flower]

manually install mods if mod manager is being fucky

[wraith jolt]

Ya that what going to do

[proper relic]

Potentially stupid question is it possible to add a Joker and have it NOT appear in the collection?

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#common-parameters

[tight pumice]

I figured out the random tag thing, but on rare occasion no tag spawns and the game crashes upon leaving a shop. Does the game not allow certain tags to show up at certain antes? I know they can't show up as skips, but I figured that it would be okay if given manually

I checked through the tag options that can be selected and none seem to be invalid or spelled wrong or anything

[proper relic]

You're the best ty

[daring fern]

Code?

[frosty rampart]

it might be orbital tag shenanigans? i know that one in particular tends to have issues when it's not created specifically from a blind skip because of how it picks the hand to level up

[tight pumice]

I want to make it work with blueprint at some point which will require altering some things but I haven't gotten there yet

[daring fern]

local tag = Tag(get_next_tag_key())
tag:set_ability()
add_tag(tag)

[tight pumice]

Would blueprint work if I make the first if statement
if context.ante_change or context.blueprint then

[daring fern]

No, remove the first if and change the second if to if context.ante_change and context.ante_end and remove the third if

[red flower]

i was just going to point you out to the vanillaremade wiki lol

[tight pumice]

does this make print_tag irrelevant

[daring fern]

Yes.

[tight pumice]

Getting "attempt to index nil value" crashes after beating a boss blind with this code

[fluid steppe]

anyone have any idea? i can't run mods as of right now which is really hampering my ability to. actually develop my mod

[tight pumice]

wait

I see the issue

Yep it works now thanks so much

It does still have a crashing issue with orbital tags but I think I'm going to temporarily leave those out of the pool of tags and figure that out another itme

time*

or something

[red flower]

may i point you to the vremade wiki again

[winter flower]

i didn’t check but did you try and do verify game files

[tight pumice]

Yes you may what should I look at

[red flower]

search for tag

there's a section on how to create a random tag that accounts for orbital

[winter flower]

it’s 11:30 i shouldn’t be here rn

[tight pumice]

The wiki is seperate from the github?

the repo i mean

nvm i see it

Can't find a spot on specifically orbital tags

I saw this for random tag generation

[red flower]

yes

the "small" part handles that

[tight pumice]

Interesting

Implemented that but it still crashed when a orbital tag got picked

[red flower]

what's the crash and the code

[tight pumice]

One sec

So ofc now I can't get the crash to happen

Okay finally

[red flower]

you can just look at your earlier logs 😭

[tight pumice]

Is that a thing

Dang

[red flower]

yeah in Mods/lovely/log

also can i see the code

do you still have the set_ability thing

[red flower]

hmm

oh it might be a timing thing

i fixed this in hot potato let me search for it

yeah if you're doing it when the ante resets it's weird
i did this to fix it but maybe there's a better way
https://github.com/Balatro-Potato-Patch/Hot-Potato/blob/9dbfb5d7c9463f94ee76dbfdc3fe92add7c30e10/Jtem/events_definitions.lua#L4625

[tight pumice]

I'll have to come back to this potentially

Is there a way I can temporarily exclude the orbital tag just to not crash for now

like while selected_tag == 'UNAVAILABLE' or selected_tag == 'tag_orbital'

[red flower]

yeah

[fluid steppe]

i did 2 full reinstalls im pretty sure that covers iy

[pastel kernel]

how do i use mod.calculate to check for if score reaches 1e100 with played hand being a flush five of spades?

[faint yacht]

Compare SMODS.calculate_round_score() to that.

[pastel kernel]

pardon

[faint yacht]

if SMODS.calculate_round_score() >= 1e100

[pastel kernel]

how do i make it so that played hand must be a flush five of only spades? (i'm changing clubs to spades)

[mystic river]

well :is_suit() looks at one card and returns a boolean, so comparing it to a number isn't gonna do it

also you're not passing context into the calculate function there

or more accurately you're naming the context table

[stuck ore]

add_tag(Tag('tag_rare'))
So this isn't correct for creating a rare tag, just curious about what the key for a rare joker tag would be

[faint yacht]

tag_rare is the key though.

[stuck ore]

odd

[faint yacht]

This yielded the tag.

[stuck ore]

Thank you kindly, I will simply strangle my code till it works

[pastel kernel]

cause i ripped it off of the wiki

i'm still new to this lua stuff

despite knowing a bit more

[stuck ore]

I'm curious if there's some super obvious way to change the local text of a joker (The description) when a condition is met, I've been trying for a bit to decypher another mod but I realized I should ask

[faint yacht]

In the loc_vars, if you return a key in the table, you can change what localization entry is used.

Thank you for the response and also the example

@shell timber hey i was wondering how did you do atlas for rotated tarot card since it's tilted and not the usual vertical

[shell timber]

its not tilted

[lament agate]

rotated*

[shell timber]

its not rotated

[lament agate]

whatever it was

[shell timber]

its just a larger square

[long sun]

how do you remove a card's seal or edition?

[daring fern]

card:set_seal() and card:set_edition()

[long sun]

cheers ^^

does this also work with set_ability?

[daring fern]

No, it would be card:set_ability('c_base')

[long sun]

grand :D

tytyty!

[long sun]

i have this blind ability:
First scored card in poker hand is debuffed
how might this be implemented?

[daring fern]

if context.before then
    SMODS.debuff_card(context.scoring_hand[1], true, self.key)
end
if context.after then
    SMODS.debuff_card(context.scoring_hand[1], false, self.key)
end

[long sun]

ah, thanks ^u^

also one more thing

this is swapping chips and mult, but then swapping it back

what have i missed?

[daring fern]

Use context.initial_scoring_step instead of context.before

[long sun]

👍

[pastel kernel]

okay what about poker_hands? @faint yacht

[faint yacht]

if context.after and context.poker_hands and next(context.poker_hands['Flush']) then
  if bigscore then -- put the score check here.
    local allspades = true -- assume all Spades.
    for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand or {}) do -- 'or {}' is fallback in case context.scoring_hand somehow doesn't exist?
      if not v:is_suit('Spades') then allspades = false; break end
    end
    if allspades then
      -- spawn the goober.
    end
  end
end

[pastel kernel]

replace bigscore?

[faint yacht]

With your to_big(getscore) >= to_big(1e50) check.

[split saddle]

how do you check if a card is debuffed?

[red flower]

card.debuff

[split saddle]

if card.debuff == true?

[hardy viper]

you can just do if card.debuff then

[obtuse silo]

[rigid solar]

I found there's a dependencies field for object parameters, but the object will only load if all the dependencies are present. Is there a way to load something if only one is present?

I wanna make a deck that only loads when playing multiplayer, but there's Multiplayer and NanoMultiplayer and obv you don't want both multiplayer mods at the same time

[daring fern]

if next(SMODS.find_mod('modid1')) or next(SMODS.find_mod('modid2')) then
    SMODS.Back{...}
end

[frosty rampart]

i would hope that nanomultiplayer just is set up to provide regular multiplayer though

[rigid solar]

i guess that works yeah

[frosty rampart]

so you can just check for multiplayer and not worry about explicitly checking for nanomultiplayer at all

[rigid solar]

nah you have to check for both

[frosty rampart]

what is nanomultiplayer anyway

[rigid solar]

multiplayer but with more than 2 players gamemodes

[slim ferry]

isnt that already on some branch of multiplayer

[rigid solar]

yeah that's nanomultiplayer

[slim ferry]

why does that have a seperate mod id

[rigid solar]

🤷‍♂️

[slim ferry]

it definitely shouldnt do that

[frosty rampart]

yea that should really be something for multiplayer to fix

if i cared about it at all i'd join the server just to pester them about it

but i don't

[rigid solar]

well there are some differences

[slim ferry]

thats like one of the worst practices

[frosty rampart]

so that's someone else's job

[rigid solar]

some things work with multiplayer that don't work with nano

and the opposite

[slim ferry]

its still the same mod that provides the same stuff in theory

[rigid solar]

for example, for a joker of mine

[slim ferry]

why the fuck do they do that

[rigid solar]

don't ask me im not the multiplayer dev lol

[obtuse silo]

hold on
how do i get the name of the booster pack being opened

[slim ferry]

also the branch doesnt even exist on the github

at least not with that name

[rigid solar]

yeah it's a different repo i believe

[frosty rampart]

during context.open_booster, context.card is the booster object being opened

[obtuse silo]

ok thing is i'm doing this for a patch that makes a dumb sound play when a specific booster pack is opened

[slim ferry]

could you do that in a mod calculate

[frosty rampart]

yea i'd just do that in a mod calculate

[slim ferry]

or in an i == 1 check in the booster's create_card

[obtuse silo]

this doesn't seem to be doing anything

[daring fern]

context.card.config.center.key

[frosty rampart]

^context.card is the whole card object, not just the key

[glass scaffold]

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

[obtuse silo]

still doesn't seem to have done anything

[daring fern]

It's modprefix_soundkey

[obtuse silo]

just implemented that
it still hasn't done anything
i think it's a fault with the logic seeing as how i haven't had any crashes

[slim ferry]

why is the mod calculate underlined yellow

[frosty rampart]

put a print statement in to see if it's even making it through the context check in the first place

[obtuse silo]

duplicate field "calculate"
shouldn't affect how the function works

[slim ferry]

it does because that means you define it twice

and the last one overrides all the previous

[frosty rampart]

yea everything needs to go into a single calculate function, you can't have two of them

[obtuse silo]

i see i see

alrighty
i think it's worth me making a new file to contain this calculate function :]

[wintry solar]

wtf is this I thought we made them all text

[obtuse silo]

yep
that was the issue
thanks, all

[mossy anchor]

how do i make a textbox like the profile name

i want a spot i can type stuff in

[loud summit]

hey uh whats the diff between card.base.value and card.base.id

[daring fern]

card.base.value is the key of the rank and card.base.id is the id of the rank.

[loud summit]

oh

[frosty rampart]

the key of the rank is consistent, the ID isn't (because it could change if another mod loads a custom rank before you do)

[mighty quiver]

Hey guys, i'm trying to code a joker that switches languages when owned and i have no idea why this doesn't work. Can anyone help me?

[loud summit]

also how does smods watch file work

[mighty quiver]

bump

[lament agate]

yeah hw

[shell timber]

just change the size

[lament agate]

the atlas size?

[shell timber]

yeah sure

[versed swan]

does anyone know what the difference is between _c and card in generate_card_ui?

(function in common_events)

[loud summit]

?

[daring fern]

_c is the center and card is the card.

[versed swan]

is _c the center of card?

[daring fern]

No, because card doesn't always exist.

[versed swan]

i see, thank you

[loud summit]

how do you use debugplus watch file

[lament agate]

how do you make a seperate button for custom consumables

@slim ferry help

[slim ferry]

idkf man

i dont do card buttons

ask ruby :trol:

[lament agate]

LIKE IN ADDITIONS TAB

😭

[slim ferry]

oh

it already does that

[lament agate]

theres a set parameter

[slim ferry]

what

[slim ferry]

yes

[red flower]

you need a ConsumableType

if that's what you're asking

[lament agate]

right

can someone link me the wiki for constype

[red flower]

it's the one for ObjectType

my internet is trash rn or id do it

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType#api-documentation-smodsconsumabletype

here it is

[lament agate]

tyyy

mwah

[slim ferry]

No

[lament agate]

damnit

[lament agate]

also whats the primary and secondary color for

[slim ferry]

Uhhhhhhh

I think secondary is text and collection button

And then primary idk

Or the other way around

[lament agate]

N' save me

imma have to look at lucky rabbit's code again

@lucid owl help me

[lucid owl]

yeah you got that

[lament agate]

bro

[lucid owl]

pretty sure they're colors for buttons and collection button

i forgot

[lament agate]

respectively??

ah fuck it

[lucid owl]

i have no clue lol

[slim ferry]

https://tryitands.ee moment

[lament agate]

wii

[red flower]

primary is not used afaik

there's a new parameter for the button text that idk if it's documented

[wind steppe]

primary color
looks inside
never used

[strong plume]

Does anyone know how to do an if statement that checks to see if the player has 0 vouchers?

[lament agate]

i LOVE undocumented stuff

how would i use it if theres no documentations for it

😭

[daring fern]

if #G.vouchers.cards == 0

[strong plume]

thanks!

[wind steppe]

you dig through the code

and find it while searching for something else

[lament agate]

am i doing this right

[daring fern]

No, remove the inject_card

[lament agate]

oh okay

[frosty rampart]

It should be documented, I know I made the PR to the wiki at least

[daring fern]

Remove the inject function.

[lament agate]

so i put my own consumables to

cards function?

[daring fern]

No, set = 'mistarot'

[lament agate]

oh okay

[daring fern]

Code?

[lament agate]

the object type of the consumable

fixed it

now how do i fix this

[solid salmon]

is there something like this but for discards?

[solid salmon]

show you're code

[daring fern]

b_key_cards = 'Cards Cards' in Localization > misc > dictionary

[lethal juniper]

So I've got an enhancement that give xmult when a Joker triggers it while it's held in hand. I'm using post_trigger to do it, but I want to limit it to only giving xmult once per (re)trigger pass instead of giving xmult for every effect, like it would when scored. Any suggestions on how to limit it like that?

if context.post_trigger and context.other_context.individual and context.other_context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.other_context.end_of_round and context.other_context.other_card == card then

these are the contexts I'm using

[red flower]

context.pre_discard and instead of context.scoring_hand use G.hand.highlighted

[red flower]

can you elaborate? I don't get the difference

[cerulean rose]

in context.pre_discard, context.full_hand = G.hand.highlighted

[cerulean rose]

you need to add a localization entry for the consumable type

[lethal juniper]

so say you have mime, two barons, and an enhanced King. currently its giving the enhancement xmult 4 times, but I want it to only give it twice (once per retrigger)

[cerulean rose]

so in the same context as a baron?

[cerulean rose]

should be under G.localization.misc.dictionary.b_your_id_cards

[red flower]

if you only have 2 barons it would still be twice?

[cerulean rose]

each baron happens once

[red flower]

can you let the person that im helping reply to my question

[lethal juniper]

but also mime gives a retrigger so its 4 baron triggers total

and yeah with no mime the enhancement triggers twice

[red flower]

thanks
hmm that's a bit hard because I don't think the contexts get if it's being retriggered

[lethal juniper]

yeah for real, been scratching my head at this thing for a bit lol

[red flower]

the naive solution would be to flag each joker but each enhancement would have to do it separately

[wind steppe]

someone should make an smods pr for that retrigger checks seem to be a fairly common effect

[lethal juniper]

is there any way to check how many retriggers are calculated for a card? Maybe I could cobble together a fix with that?

[solid salmon]

i implemented

THE COLLECTOR

[azure ember]

I'm trying to add a variant of rare spectral cards that appear rarely in spectral packs like how the soul card rarely spawns in tarot packs. to be clear, they are registered as spectral cards. how can i do that, i want them to not appear in spectral packs like the other ones unless the rare chance is rolled. how do card pools work, is it from the entire consumable type?

[daring fern]

hidden = true

[azure ember]

does that stop the card from appearing in packs normally?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[azure ember]

thanks for the help

[weary merlin]

trying to make something similar to baseball but for negative editions, can't figure out exactly what to include in the calculae function to get this to enact on negative editions

is there an additional context parameter to invoke to be able to fetch the correct methods/properties?

[daring fern]

if context.other_joker and context.other_joker.edition and context.other_joker.edition.negative then return {xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult} end

[dawn moat]

This feels like a stupid question, but the vibe coding ain't working.
Is there a way to draw the pips on the cards? I'm trying to save time from having to save eight different versions of suit sets.

[weary merlin]

thanks! that works perfectly!
good to have a reference now since the other jokers i've written use the SMODS-adapted source code as a use reference

[daring fern]

What do you mean the pips?

[weary merlin]

the dots

dots on cards/dice are known as pips

[dawn moat]

The "9 " in the corner

[weary merlin]

that too ig

[dawn moat]

Yeah, I didn't know there was a name for those either.

any tips on how I should shade the robe? I have no idea how to go about it

[fleet thorn]

I'm trying to make a silly text mod like Balagay, but I can't seem to see what's wrong with my mod metadata. It shows up in BMM, but not in game. Any help?

{
"id": "polylatro",
"name": "PolyLatro",
"display_name": "PL",
"author": ["Lavender9999"],
"description": "Make your Polychromes even more queer!",
"prefix": "pl",
"main_file": "us_en.lua",
"priority": 0,
"badge_colour": "80608a",
"badge_text_colour": "FFFFFF",
"version": "1.0.0",
"dependencies": [],
}

[wind steppe]

can i see the rest of the file structure

[fleet thorn]

I assume you mean how my folder is set up? This is what I have, I looked through this chat and this is how I read to do it.

[daring fern]

Where is the JSON?

[fleet thorn]

That would do it, yeah--

[wind steppe]

That and your main file is also improperly set

Should be polylatro.lua

[fleet thorn]

even if that lua is just a replacement localization file?

[wind steppe]

yes

just generally dont set your main file as a localization file

[fleet thorn]

Okay, so, last question; now that my mod works, why is it showing up like this in BMM when the JSON is set up properly to show all it's info?

[wind steppe]

bmm is weird

[frosty rampart]

i can only assume bmm is set up to read the author from a specific field in the mod index, and not the json of the mod itself

and therefore all local mods will just say "By: Unknown" because they aren't in the mod index

[fleet thorn]

It's weird, because my DeckSkin mods work perfectly fine... ah well, if the mod works, it works.

[crystal perch]

uh oh

ok so the event queue gets flooded with events pretty much bricking the game if i have a two-faced try to copy another two-faced
i can only assume that the two-faced on the left tries to copy the ability, which involves debuffing the joker to the right, but the joker to the right is itself, so it gets super confused and floods the queue

here's the calc code, any help is greatly appreciated as this is a pretty detrimental bug

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local other_joker = nil
        local debuff_joker = nil
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do -- Mark Joker to copy and debuff, choose debuffed Joker
            if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then 
                if G.jokers.cards[i - 1] ~= nil then -- Ensure copy Joker exists
                    other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i - 1] 
                end
                if G.jokers.cards[i + 1] ~= nil then -- Ensure debuff Joker exists
                    debuff_joker = G.jokers.cards[i + 1] 
                    debuff_joker.ability.two_faced_chosen = true
                end
            end
        end
        if debuff_joker ~= nil and not (debuff_joker.debuff and debuff_joker.debuffed_by_blind) then -- Debuff chosen Joker if not aready debuffed
            if debuff_joker.ability.two_faced_chosen and debuff_joker:get_seal() ~= "chak_orange_seal"  then
                SMODS.debuff_card(debuff_joker, true, "two-faced")
            end
        end
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do -- Undebuff previously chosen Jokers which aren't currently chosen
            if G.jokers.cards[i].ability.two_faced_chosen and G.jokers.cards[i] ~= debuff_joker then
                if not G.jokers.cards[i].debuffed_by_blind then
                    G.jokers.cards[i].ability.two_faced_chosen = false
                    SMODS.debuff_card(G.jokers.cards[i], false, "two-faced")
                end
            end
        end
        local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context) -- Copy
        if ret then
            ret.colour = G.C.BLACK
        end
        return ret
    end

[daring fern]

if context.blueprint then return nil end

[crystal perch]

won't that disable other blueprint effects?

[daring fern]

Also why are you not using context.debuff_card?

[crystal perch]

because i didn't know that was a context it's not on the smods wiki calc func page

outdated wiki strikes again :/

[crystal perch]

yeah doing this fixes the bug but prevents other copy effects from copying it

yeah and context.debuff_card debuffs cards too slowly to look good, only at specific times like leaving a blind, so reordering the jokers doesn't have an immediate effect

[daring fern]

No, hook Card:stop_drag and do for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do SMODS.recalc_debuff(v) end

[primal robin]

Does lovely patches doesnt work on localization files?

[daring fern]

Yes, they don't.

[river grail]

thinking about taking a function from jenlib for my own mod (and editing it) ..is that allowed?
i know mayhem uses jenlib, and has that as a dependancy, but i really only need one function from it for a spectral card i wanna do

[primal robin]

That sucks

well ok

[daring fern]

Which function?

[river grail]

the randomize one

where it randomizes every card in your deck

[crystal perch]

that's already in the game btw

or do you not mean shuffling, but randomizing the card ranks, suits, etc?

[river grail]

nono not shuffling
the card i wanna make is that is randomizes all the suits in your deck

jenlib has exactly that, and a bunch of event logic for how it plays out in the game

kinda want it to be consistent with other mods that do the same thing

[crystal perch]

check the mod's license and if it allows it then sure

or just ask the devs if you want to be sure

and always remember to credit!

[river grail]

its jenlib, so idk where to even find the license.. or the mod owner

[wind steppe]

jen didnt want their mods to be shared anywhere but it uses smods which has a license which says "yeah do whatever the fuck you want but this license applies to other shit using this" so you CAN use jenlib code
crediting is the nice thing to do though

[river grail]

alrigh

[crystal perch]

so after hooking and doing some code rewritting, i've come across an interesting situation where it no longer debuffs itself (intended?), will debuff other cards (intended), but won't debuff a card if it's being copied (unintended)
i'm 100% sure this is because of the if context.debuff_card then if context.blueprint then return nil but i wouldn't know how to structure it any other way

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local other_joker = nil
        local debuff_joker = nil
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do -- Mark Joker to copy and debuff, choose debuffed Joker
            if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then 
                if G.jokers.cards[i - 1] ~= nil then -- Ensure copy Joker exists
                    other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i - 1] 
                end
                if G.jokers.cards[i + 1] ~= nil and G.jokers.cards[i + 1] ~= card then -- Ensure debuff Joker exists and isn't itself
                    debuff_joker = G.jokers.cards[i + 1] 
                    debuff_joker.ability.two_faced_chosen = true
                end
            end
        end
        if context.debuff_card then
            if context.blueprint then
                return nil
            end
            if debuff_joker ~= nil and not (debuff_joker.debuff and debuff_joker.debuffed_by_blind) then -- Debuff chosen Joker if not aready debuffed
                if debuff_joker.ability.two_faced_chosen and debuff_joker:get_seal() ~= "chak_orange_seal"  then
                    SMODS.debuff_card(debuff_joker, true, "two-faced")
                end
            end
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do -- Undebuff previously chosen Jokers which aren't currently chosen
                if G.jokers.cards[i].ability.two_faced_chosen and G.jokers.cards[i] ~= debuff_joker then
                    if not G.jokers.cards[i].debuffed_by_blind then
                        G.jokers.cards[i].ability.two_faced_chosen = false
                        SMODS.debuff_card(G.jokers.cards[i], false, "two-faced")
                    end
                end
            end
        end
        local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context) -- Copy
        if ret then
            ret.colour = G.C.BLACK
        end
        return ret
    end

[daring fern]

No, it's return {debuff = true} not SMODS.debuff_card

Also you would check if context.debuff_card is the card you want to debuff.

[crystal perch]

even with that change the problem persists

actually i did figure it out with a quick rewrite, if i move the check for the debuffed card to before the context.blueprint check rather than at the step before it gets debuffed, it seems to work as intended

thank you for your help

[red river]

how do i check if the player has a certain voucher?

[shell timber]

G.GAME.used_vouchers["v_whatever"]

[red river]

oh, hi. thanks!

[azure ember]

whats the best way to modify every booster pack for, say, tarot cards. because there are lots of pack variants.

[cerulean rose]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Booster#utility-function

[granite jay]

How do you refer to a joker using SMODS.find_card?

[plucky berry]

SMODS.find_card('modprefix_key')

you need to put j_ if it's a joker c_if it's a consumable etc

SMODS.find_card('j_egg') for example

[granite jay]

No no I mean like

If yo uwant to set things to that joker

like setting card.ability.extra.active to false

[reef belfry]

how do you force highlight cards until the end of a round when using a consumable even before entering a blind

[mystic river]

SMODS.find_card() returns a table of all found cards with the specified key, so you can literally do local cards = SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_whatever"); cards[1].ability.extra.active = false

though you'll want to handle the case where you don't find the card, or find more than one of it

[granite jay]

yeah that's what I'm trying to do

'

[slim ferry]

SMODS.Shortcut runs any time the poker hand is calculated, so this definitely won't work how you want it to

[stuck ore]

I'm having issues loading localization info into a modded joker, technically a partner for the partner mod, and I can't seem to have it work it just reads ERROR for the name, I had made it work before without the use of a seperate lua file for the info but I was told if I want the desciption to update I needed to have a file for localizations but despite looking at other mods and trying it for myself I'm just confused

[faint yacht]

?

[lament agate]

is it or is it not possible to use dynatext for joker's name

[red flower]

a jokers name is dynatext but you can't give it an effect if that's what you're asking
you would need to modify the name nodes in generate_ui

[lament agate]

i see

[tall wharf]

...

right this is dev channel

[lament agate]

if i wanted to add a custom localization, how would i do it

[obsidian spear]

custom as in... ?

like new "language"

if you just mean for new text for everything in the game

that would be SMODS.language? no?

[lament agate]

like

localize("k_custom")

[obsidian spear]

you mean the dictionary from misc?

when making a localization file theres a bunch of stuff in misc

I dunno much but i know that some others that are with me on cold beans have been using it

[lament agate]

that yeah

[obsidian spear]

so is that ur question answered?

also you dont need no k or j_ and what not, unless thats what your loc has

[stuck ore]

Btw thanks a bunch for your examples, I ended up figuring out my localization file was named incorrectly (en_US when it should've been default) Finally I am rid of the multi-hour horror of dealing with file names

please oh dear god im tired

[loud summit]

hi so

does Game:init_game_object just set the values of G or does it create a whole new G object

if you dont set a var to 0 in init_game_object does it carry between runs

[slim ferry]

G has the gameobjects in it set by that afaik (and probably some other values)

just use G.GAME to save things to run

[dusk compass]

I need somone who can hack instagram

Somone with experience

[dusk compass]

Loool

[slim ferry]

sir... this is modding chat... we sell balatro modding here

[upper quarry]

we are lua coders, not anonymous hackers

[umbral zodiac]

why are you laughing with us as if you didn’t just ask the most absurd question ever😭 😭 😭

what was the thought process here

[slim ferry]

[dusk compass]

I have plans for that too

We just need time

[dusk compass]

My name is Jhoseph Redwood

And this will be our story

Trust me

😭😭😭😭😭

[red flower]

this might be gilgamesh

[winter flower]

-# you're not him bro

[dusk compass]

Jhon Pork Ahhh

[slim ferry]

it was a good bit

ngl

[gusty compass]

what did i step into 😭

anyways what is the reason for this lovely (not the Lovely injector) crash report i have no idea the reason of

[red flower]

you are attempting to index a local 'deck' that is a nil value in line 67 (!) of the "additions/decks.lua" file of the mod with id "Goodsoups_Garbage"

[gusty compass]

Apparently it was since loc_vars doesn't like to work in decks 🥀

[red flower]

yes it does

according to the log it only receives self it seems

which makes sense because the deck doesn't exist in the deck select

[gusty compass]

So it ignores the rest of loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, deck)?

Oh wait yea you make a point

[red flower]

yes that's what I'm seeing at least

[gusty compass]

So it would work in game, but not on the deck select?

[red flower]

it's weird that it's not documented tho

[red flower]

uhhh probably not

[gusty compass]

I was adding configuration to my additions earlier, happened to want to add loc_vars to show multiInc (being 2 for that deck)

My only real option is (deck.effect and deck.effect.config.multigain) or 2

[red flower]

yeah

deck and deck.effect

if deck never exists then you would need to use G.GAME.selected_back

[gusty compass]

Alr, also for the localisation thingy, decks don't show descriptions when I add a loc key :D

Dunno why 🥀

[red flower]

a key in loc_vars?

or you mean in the localization file

[gusty compass]

Like key = "j_GG_blahblahblah"

In loc_vars

I will see later what I can do to change this, since apparently although name works fine, text for decks in a localisation file does not pick up unlike loc_txt

[loud summit]

yea but im saying do i need to reset it in initgameobject

and if i dont does it carry between rounds

[red flower]

no

[tired kestrel]

I felt like doing this after making a joker that looks officially vectorized and thought how a joker but in that HD would look for the game:

[loud summit]

so why would you set a var in init game object exactly

[red flower]

idk some people don't understand how nil values work so they initialize it so it's never nil

if you mean why thunk did it it makes sense for organization

[loud summit]

oh ok

on second thought having a array variable being potentially nil is probably a bad idea

[umbral spire]

how do i add another label

like how rarities

show the label on the joker

can i add another thing like that, next to the name and rarity?

[vernal seal]

Hello again with another problem:
why does the game crash when you try to load the voucher with the custom shader?
do i need to put the prefix of the mod?

[wind steppe]

yes you need the mod's prefix

[vernal seal]

alright...

[granite jay]

How do you make it so a joker can draw x amount of cards to deck?

[umbral spire]

anyone know what i mean?

[granite jay]

Like if you have 8 cards the joker can draw 10 extra cards to give you 18?

[mystic river]

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function (self, context)
    --#region Retrigger Jokers that care about 3s (rank) if a 3 (suit) is played
    --TODO: Figure out why Hack sends 'Found effect table with no assigned repetitions during repetition check' message
    local map = {
        j_hack = true,
        j_odd_todd = true,
        j_fibonacci = true,
        j_cry_wee_fib = true,
    }

    if context.retrigger_joker_check then
        local jokerkey = context.other_card and context.other_card.config and context.other_card.config.center and context.other_card.config.center.key or nil
        if map[jokerkey] then
            local count = context.other_context.other_card:is_3()
            if context.other_context.other_card:get_id() == 3 then count = count - 1 end
            if count >= 1 then
                local joker = context.other_card
                return {
                    repetitions = count,
                    message = localize("k_again_ex"),
                    message_card = joker,
                }
            end
        end
    end
    --#endregion
end

why does this result in Hack sending the 'effect table with no assigned repetitions' message? at no point am i returning a table without repetitions, i'm pretty sure?

[daring fern]

SMODS.draw_cards(number)

[granite jay]

thx

[mystic river]

gah, never mind, i just realized it's going to break something unrelated and i shouldn't do it like this to begin with

[mystic salmon]

guys, I genuinely don't understand what's the problem here 😭 (don't mind the contexts of second if, idk how to properly do what I want it to do)
