[viscid talon]

and the joker should be spawning with this edition

but i dont know if the shader is defined or

im confused

[terse merlin]

hm

[viscid talon]

i have the .fs file here

[terse merlin]

you have debugplus

[viscid talon]

yeas

[terse merlin]

and it is supposedly defined as an edition

try cycling on a random joker with Q to give it that edition

or ctrl + q but that by default closes the window so

config

[viscid talon]

only have the main 4

[terse merlin]

so the edition isnt properly defined

doesnt jokerforge which youre using handle that alone?

you just export it with a defined edition, and then just swap out the shader

[viscid talon]

it doesnt, no

it always goes for the default editions

[terse merlin]

no you dont have the edition in the first place

like it doesnt register

unless you specifically hid it from collection and debugplus

[viscid talon]

wait, that might be it

wait no

the relevant files

[terse merlin]

i dont know, im an artist not a bala programmer sorry

[viscid talon]

idk either, it ok

[sleek siren]

It's been a while since I've done balatro modding, so I'm a bit rusty, how would I be able to destory the leftmost card after a hand is finished playing?

[slim ferry]

i mean you have no_collection = true

[faint yacht]

if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card == context.full_hand[1] then return { remove = true } end

[slim ferry]

so that would be why it isnt there

[sleek siren]

Thanks! ^^

[viscid talon]

o

[viscid talon]

it doesnt seem to recognise divine.lua as legitimate

@slim ferry what do i do 😭

[slim ferry]

An on mobile

Cant read

[daring fern]

Are you loading that file?

[viscid talon]

loading?

i dont think so? im not sure how you load a file

[daring fern]

assert(SMODS.load_file('editions/divine.lua'))()

[viscid talon]

,,,,ohhh

ITS BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[solid salmon]

coll

*cool

[terse merlin]

yay it works

[slim ferry]

Oh thats what that shader was for

Peak

[solid salmon]

this code is not makin spectrals

[solid salmon]

heck ass hallucination hates non tarots

[viscid talon]

        if not blind.disabled then
            if context.setting_blind then
                blind.hands = {}
                for _, poker_hand in ipairs(G.handlist) do
                    blind.hands[poker_hand] = false
                end
            end
            if context.debuff_hand then
                if blind.hands[context.scoring_name] then
                    blind.triggered = true
                    return {
                        debuff = true
                    }
                end
                if not context.check then
                    blind.hands[context.scoring_name] = true
                end
            end
        end
    end```

anyway i can modify this so that you cant play two suits consecutively?

e.g. spade -> spade

nvm made it work >:)

this blind is evil LOL

[sleek siren]

is there a way I can get the blind requirement for a round?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.blind.chips

[sleek siren]

thank you!

[sleek siren]

How can I add something to the score directly after the chips and mult are calculated?

[red flower]

to the total score or to the chips and mult?

[sleek siren]

Total score

[red flower]

both answers are here anyway
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-change-the-amount-of-chips-scored-in-the-middle-of-a-blind

you want context.after probably

[sleek siren]

Thanks! ^^

[sleek siren]

For some reason when I tried this, it reset back after the game calculated the value

[red flower]

hmm you probably need an event then

[sleek siren]

That worked! Thank you!

[copper perch]

Would there be a way I can have 2 different odds defined in my local variables? My plan is to do a roll for 1/1000 and then 1/25.

    config = {
        jack_odds = 1000,
        win_odds = 25,
        extra = {
            gamble_cost = 3,
            norm_dollars = 5,
            jack_dollars = 100,
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local probabilities_normal, odds = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.odds, "Wyfole_GAMBLE")
        return { vars = { probabilities_normal, odds } }
    end,
        calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
        return card.ability.extra.dollars
    end

[daring fern]

odds1 = 1000, odds2 = 25

[copper perch]

How would I randomize both though? Cause for 1 you need something akin to local probabilities_normal, odds = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.jack_odds, "Wyfole_GAMBLE_JACKPOT") in loc_vars but I'd need to define 2

[frosty rampart]

local probabilities_normal1, odds1 = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.jack_odds, "Wyfole_GAMBLE_JACKPOT1")
local probabilities_normal2, odds2 = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.win_odds, "Wyfole_GAMBLE_JACKPOT2")

and then return all four variables

and use #1# through #4# in the localization

[copper perch]

oh, I thought they greyed out text when I typed odds1 meant it couldn't work. Thanks

whats the {C:} for the gold color, like in golden joker?

[daring fern]

money

[obsidian spear]

why does
SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card)[1]
return nil but
SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card) returns a table of strings

[daring fern]

No, it returns a table of booleans that are indexed with strings.

[obsidian spear]

so why doesnt #SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card) work

and instead give 0

[daring fern]

The table is not number indexed so # does not work.

[obsidian spear]

how do i get if theres any enhancements

[daring fern]

next(SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card))

[reef belfry]

how do you check if a certain consumable has been used before throughout the entire run

[daring fern]

if G.GAME.consumeable_usage['c_modprefix_key']

[reef belfry]

another question, how would you set an existing poker hand (i.e Flush) into not being visible using SMODS.is_poker_hand_visible

[daring fern]

You would hook it and return false

[urban wasp]

isn't there some smods function to look for a specific joker that a player owns

[daring fern]

SMODS.find_card

[urban wasp]

oh so literally just like SMODS.find_card("j_joker")

[daring fern]

Yes, but it would be next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key')) to check if it exists.

[urban wasp]

so like this?

if next(SMODS.find_card('j_chm_rotten')) then

easy enough i've just never had to use it lol

[daring fern]

Yes.

[reef belfry]

can i get an example on what this is supposed to look like...

Ive been jabbing away at this for the past minute and ive got 0 clue whats happening to it

[daring fern]

local oldsmodsispokerhandvisible = SMODS.is_poker_hand_visible
function SMODS.is_poker_hand_visible(handname)
    if handname == 'Flush' then return false end
    return oldsmodsispokerhandvisible(handname)
end

[spiral mural]

im trying out a shader thing and im getting a error about a shader uniform not existing

{
    // Take pixel color (rgba) from texture at texture_coords, equivalent of texture2D in GLSL
    vec4 tex = Texel(texture, texture_coords);
    // Position of a pixel within the sprite
    vec2 uv = (((texture_coords)*(image_details)) - texture_details.xy*texture_details.ba)/texture_details.ba;

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

    vec4 hslInvert = hsl;
    hslInvert.x = hslInvert.x;
    hslInvert.y = hslInvert.y;
    hslInvert.z = 1-hslInvert.z
    
    tex = sepiaVec;

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

[umbral zodiac]

what is the error specifically

[umbral zodiac]

yea you have to use the variable somewhere

[spiral mural]

use it for what though

[umbral zodiac]

if you dont want to use it add something like

if (greyscale.y > greyscale.y*2) {tex = vec4(0);}

it really doesnt matter , it just has to be used once for glsl logic

[spiral mural]

gonna test it

[umbral zodiac]

this is assuming you have defined greyscale as a uniform beforehand

[reef belfry]

One last thing, how do i make a check where the hand is visible when Jupiter has been used

[umbral zodiac]

dont check for equality with something like G.GAME.consumeable_usage

just remove the == false/true, which will default it to if it exists at all

if you want to check for it not existing do not G.GAME.consumable_usage['c_jupiter']

[daring fern]

if handname == 'Flush' then return not not G.GAME.consumeable_usage['c_jupiter'] or oldsmodsispokerhandvisible(handname) end

[reef belfry]

I seeee

[spiral mural]

why did it come out as evil and green and purple (basically same code expect for changing the non-existant variable)
1st image: in game
2nd image: the shader done in a image editor

[spiral mural]

nvm found out

hsl was being parsed as rgb

[feral tree]

how do i get an event to detect when the ante changes?

[daring fern]

context.ante_change?

[reef belfry]

ok last last last thing, how do i remove the planet consumable from a pool until it is visible? (v is hand type and k is its respective consumable)

[feral tree]

for the event manager, not the calculate function

[daring fern]

return SMODS.is_poker_hand_visible(v)

[daring fern]

No, the event manager just adds events.

[spiral mural]

now its just messing with me, that's just a inverted joker!
code:

vec4 effect( vec4 colour, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coords )
{
    // Take pixel color (rgba) from `texture` at `texture_coords`, equivalent of texture2D in GLSL
    vec4 tex = Texel(texture, texture_coords);
    // Position of a pixel within the sprite
    vec2 uv = (((texture_coords)*(image_details)) - texture_details.xy*texture_details.ba)/texture_details.ba;

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

    vec4 hslInvert = hsl;
    hslInvert.x = hslInvert.x;
    hslInvert.y = hslInvert.y;
    hslInvert.z = 1-hslInvert.z;
    hslInvert = RGB(hslInvert);
    
    tex = hslInvert;
    if (greyscale.y > greyscale.y*2) {tex = vec4(0);}
    // required
    return dissolve_mask(tex*colour, texture_coords, uv);
}```

what it should look it roughly

[reef belfry]

should it be under lua if G and G.GAME

[daring fern]

No, because those should exist when in_pool gets called.

[reef belfry]

ok everything works as intended, thank you very much!!

[wintry solar]

What are you trying to do?

[reef belfry]

actually there is one more thing, 3oak, 4oak, and i presume 5oak still score all cards instead of 2 in the default pair, would stopping any other card that isnt in the first pair have something to do with context.evaluate_poker_hand?

[azure ember]

I want to start working on a mod that drastically changes a lot of mechanics instead of adding objects inside preexisting boundries. For example, I want to make jokers that have a use option like a consumable that debuffs them for the round, and also change how cards are positioned and score in the played area. How can/should I do this best?

[daring fern]

‎

[final monolith]

I was looking inside the vanilla reforged jokers, and I read this function in Blackboard

playing_card:is_suit('Spades', nil, true)

what do the arguments nil, true do?

[strong plume]

Chat i've been trying to make a joker that only appears when I have a seal in deck, but I keep crashing. Does anyone know what I should be doing instead?

EDIT: nvm it was just smack dab in the middle of the calculate function for some reason

[lament agate]

@sly peak whats the name of your mod that recreates the custom hand leveling system thats similar to Jen's Almanac

[slim ferry]

I forget which order, but one is bypass_debuff and the other is flush_calc iirc

I assume the last is bypass_debuff but im not sure, its most likely joker forge jank

Just look at vanillaremade instead

[final monolith]

it's the exact same in vanilla remade lol

[slim ferry]

Oh well then its probably the one thats true being bypass_debuff

[final monolith]

bypass_debuff sounds like it should be a boolean so I doubt that's the nil one

[slim ferry]

i mean nil is identical to false in a lot of ways (unless someone uses == false for whatever reason)

[final monolith]

Is there a straightforward way to pick a random tarot in code?

not generate it just pick it out of the 22

[long sun]

i currently have this code for creating Hanafuda cards. however, this allows for duplicates

what do i need to do to disallow duplicates, like Tarots and Planets do?

[crisp coral]

cull the chaffs pool, see common_events.lua at --cull the pool

heres a shortened version for lobcorp

[umbral spire]

local Card_click_ref = Card.click
function Card:click()
    if self.label == 'j_mc_kaballah' then
        if G.jokers.cards then 
            for k, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do 
                if k ~= MC.my_pos(G.jokers.cards) then 
                    MC.manipulate_values(G.jokers.cards[k].ability, self.ability.extra.x_amt)
                end
            end
        end
    end
    return Card_click_ref(self)
end

[final monolith]

I found this in the documentation, but it just doesn't seem to be true

"card" seems to be referring to the joker that's doing the calculation, not the card being sold

[obsidian spear]

        elseif context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card.ability.Bitters_s_target then
            return {
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions
            }

INFO - [G] 2025-11-23 00:56:48 :: WARN :: DefaultLogger :: Found effect table with no assigned repetitions during repetition check
INFO - [G] 2025-11-23 00:56:48 :: WARN :: DefaultLogger :: Found effect table with no assigned repetitions during repetition check
why...

i know its smth dumb

[obsidian spear]

try doing context.other_card

[crisp coral]

context.card

[tired kestrel]

has anyone have an idea on how I can get something like this to work?

[umbral spire]

also i'm making this stat thingy on each of my flag jokers and idk if this is the most efficient way to define every single flag's stickers like this

SMODS.Sticker{
    key = "stats_afghanistan",
    default_compat = true,
    atlas = "Stickers",
    pos = {x = 1, y = 0},
    rate = 0,
    badge_colour = HEX("92118e"),
    sets =  { ["Joker"] = true },
}
SMODS.Sticker{
    key = "stats_albania",
    default_compat = true,
    atlas = "Stickers",
    pos = {x = 1, y = 0},
    rate = 0,
    badge_colour = HEX("92118e"),
    sets =  { ["Joker"] = true },
}
..etc..

[lament agate]

is it G.jokers

or is it G.jokers.card

[umbral spire]

neither; G.jokers.cards

[tired kestrel]

were you all refering to what I'm doing?

or trying to make

that I had trouble with?

[umbral spire]

Oh, no, but I was going to say, I don't really get it?

[umbral spire]

oh wait actually, how can I just reload atlases

bc i think that'll update it

wait not atlases

localization files

[tired kestrel]

Like, you were trying to make a straight. But you're one card away and the last card is one number away.

it's works both like four fingers and shortcut. but only thing is that the joker is supposed to be counted as a number to make a straight.

[umbral spire]

Oh. Let me think.

so like K, Q, J, 9, 7?

it'll count as a straight?

[tired kestrel]

if you see the example, there's a 10 missing. from K, Q, J, 9 you need a 10 so that joker would make it up to fill in the gap

[umbral spire]

oh

so Ace, King, Queen, Jack counts as a straight, basically?

[tired kestrel]

hm...

[umbral spire]

Isn't that four fingers.

[tired kestrel]

The reaso nwhy I thought about this is because I want to make the function from Pai gow where the joker can make itself into a straight

[umbral spire]

I have no clue how a Joker would turn into a Playing Card.

when would it transform anyways.

in the middle of play?

[tired kestrel]

cause when I saw pai gow they use a joker like this.

[umbral spire]

i don't think that's possible afaik

[umbral spire]

oh i see..

[tired kestrel]

I want it to do it a way where thej oker is stll there but not turned into a playing card

[umbral spire]

does it self-destruct after use?

or there forever

[tired kestrel]

but rather make it count as a playing card.

[tired kestrel]

forever

not one time use

[umbral spire]

This sounds like Four Fingers.. kind of..

[tired kestrel]

Yeah four fingers, except it automatically fills in the gap if you have this joker.

and depending on how many of this joker you have the more gaps you can fill in.

[final monolith]

It's nil

[umbral spire]

oh soo like Ace, King, Jack, 10 will count as a Straight? (because it fills in as a Queen?)

@tired kestrel

[tired kestrel]

Yeah.

[lament agate]

why doesnt this register?

[final monolith]

that one did it thx

[umbral spire]

Hm.. I'm not sure how to change the hand to a straight, but it'll maybe look something like:
which will insert 12 (queen) if you have something like 14, 13, (missing 12 here), 11, 10

            local hand = context.full_hand
            table.sort(hand, function(a, b) return a > b end)

            for i = 1, #hand - 1 do
                local curr = hand[i]
                local nextv = hand[i + 1]

                -- if there's a gap bigger than 1, that's your missing card
                if curr - nextv > 1 then
                    local missing = curr - 1
                    table.insert(hand, missing)
                    break -- dip out since we only wanna fill one gap
                end
            end

[final monolith]

how would I check if the other card is a joker?

[tired kestrel]

I'll give this a try, do I put this in the joker itself or lovely patch as I was attempting?

[umbral spire]

inside calculate; I don't know what a lovely patch is 🥀

[long sun]

yay, thanks!!

[umbral spire]

how do i do X for each joker with Y sticker?

[tired kestrel]

Alright I did try that. and this happened.

[umbral spire]

code?

uhh... this happened.

oof

[umbral spire]

what's wrong here?

[tired kestrel]

dunno I did this and it set the hand size to this.

[umbral spire]

I have no clue man, sorry.

[final monolith]

how can I prevent custom jokers to appear in the shop twice without showman?

[daring fern]

Are you spawning them with DebugPlus?

[normal crest]

that's default behavior tho

[final monolith]

oh-

mb

[tired kestrel]

hm.

in the meantime cna you also do the id thing?

[umbral spire]

?

i did there with the :get_id()?

[tired kestrel]

oh

nvm

[final monolith]

is there a quick way to reference a specific tarot chosen randomly?

[solid salmon]

hey guys

[lament agate]

how do you define audio again

[solid salmon]

little issue with this (and some other jokers)

they wont get stronger

[solid salmon]

also nxkoo i buffed your joker

[lament agate]

thanks walp

[solid salmon]

it can now retrigger wild cards

(under specific conditions)

[crisp coral]

smods.sound

[lament agate]

thanks

[lament agate]

make it stronger

[solid salmon]

gimme art

also it still can turn played cards into wild cards

[lament agate]

you draw it

[solid salmon]

i cant

i dont know what nxkoo is

like

am i supposed to make it kris the joker?

[lament agate]

sure

dark world kris

with dog ears

[long sun]

just to be sure, if my Joker is Blueprint-incompatible, do i need to wrap if not context.blueprint then ... end around its calculate function?

[slim ferry]

as of now yes

[long sun]

grand

thanks :D

[slim ferry]

pretty sure thats going to be automatic next release

[long sun]

ah awesome

(whenever next release will be, hehe)

[sly peak]

I have no idea what you're talking about

[solid salmon]

you're talking about the doggy pajama kris? or the dog act?

also the key wont alternate for this

[lament agate]

the dog act

[lament agate]

editions on planet cards

[sly peak]

That's another mod by Jen called Aurinko, the new version is Engulf, and i didn't make it

https://github.com/lord-ruby/Engulf

[lament agate]

oh right thats ruby

[solid salmon]

this one

[lament agate]

yep

[solid salmon]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

best i can do is just copy and paste the image onto a joker card

[lament agate]

thats okay

how does planet card even work anyways

cause theres no use function here

@foggy ginkgo help me

[normal crest]

if there's no use function it just uses the default card:use_consumeable

So you gotta look at that one

[lament agate]

where even is that

[normal crest]

In card.lua

All Card methods are there

[foggy ginkgo]

Shrug

[lament agate]

is there any mods wwith custom planet that i can look

[foggy ginkgo]

Cryptid :3

[lament agate]

fuck no

shoot me

[foggy ginkgo]

Pew

[red flower]

im still trying to figure out why mods do this

[red flower]

which part

[lament agate]

almost every mods i saw, they always make their items local

like they dont even have SMODS.blabla

[red flower]

some of them do it to control the loading order

[lament agate]

oooohhh

[red flower]

there's probably an SMODS[obj.object_type] somewhere

[lament agate]

send link

[foggy ginkgo]

[lament agate]

AIJ only does mult and chips independently

[sly peak]

Mayhem has a few (62)

[lament agate]

ill look into that too

[viscid talon]

cryrpid and pekreo

[lament agate]

RELEASE MEEEEE

[lament agate]

also since you're here

how can i replicate the glitching screen effect

[sly peak]

The repository is however outdated and i doubt you want to download 80MB of mod just to look at some code so here it is on its own

[sly peak]

You'll need to send your own variables to the CRT Shader
Mayhem patches like this

# Glitchiness during Transcendence
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "game.lua"
pattern = "G.SHADERS['CRT']:send('glitch_intensity', 0)--0.1*G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.crt/100 + (G.screenwipe_amt) + 1)"
position = "at"
payload = '''
    G.SHADERS['CRT']:send('glitch_intensity', transcendence_glitch or 0)
    G.SHADERS['CRT']:send('noise_fac', transcendence_noise or 0)
    G.SHADERS['CRT']:send('bloom_fac', transcendence_bloom or 0)
    G.SHADERS['CRT']:send('crt_intensity', transcendence_crt or 0)
'''
match_indent = true

# Cryptid compatibility
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "game.lua"
pattern = "G.SHADERS['CRT']:send('glitch_intensity', glitched_intensity or 0)"
position = "at"
payload = '''
    G.SHADERS['CRT']:send('glitch_intensity', glitched_intensity or 0)
    G.SHADERS['CRT']:send('noise_fac', transcendence_noise or 0)
    G.SHADERS['CRT']:send('bloom_fac', transcendence_bloom or 0)
    G.SHADERS['CRT']:send('crt_intensity', transcendence_crt or 0)
'''
match_indent = true

[lament agate]

how would i call this, i want the effect to happen if something else happened

[sly peak]

Just set the transcendence variables to a number bigger than 0 for a while and then set them back to the defaults

transcendence_noise = 0.001*(G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.crt*0.3)/100
transcendence_crt = 0.16*(G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.crt*0.3)/100
transcendence_bloom = G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.bloom - 1

Man nice indentation

[tired kestrel]

bump since I still haven't figured out.

[solid salmon]

@lament agate i think i overdid something

[lament agate]

okay, say, if i use this tarot card, i want this effect to happen, how would i write it

[lament agate]

thats perfect

[solid salmon]

i just need to put "joker" somewhere

[sly peak]

How long do you want it to be glitchy for

[lament agate]

just a split second

like 1

[sly peak]

Probably not gonna work but add 2 events, the first sets the variables to the desired values and the second has trigger = 'after' and a huge delay

Delay could potentially be multiplied by game speed so its normalised

[solid salmon]

congratulations nxkoo

you are now a jonkler

[lament agate]

thank you walp

[solid salmon]

now to add it to the sprite sheet

i put you next to astro :3

(ps astro gave me the astro art)

yk what its too perfect im adding a stray pixel like toby intended

nvm

[daring fern]

You mean shortcut but the effect is stackable?

[lament agate]

cute

[solid salmon]

gonna force yall to fuse later

[stoic void]

oh dear

[hardy viper]

hpot_unbreedable

[lament agate]

cg shut up

[stoic void]

😨

[solid salmon]

what

[lament agate]

THEYRE 14 CG

HEY

[stoic void]

I am

[tall wharf]

...

[stoic void]

hi!

[solid salmon]

im confused

[stoic void]

same, i have no idea whats going on and im in the middle of it all

[solid salmon]

i was just making a joke about forcing fusions and then boom

[tall wharf]

oh you don't know the horrors

[stoic void]

uhhh you should help me make my minecraft mod

you as in the general population

[stoic void]

yes

really ideas are the things i want

[solid salmon]

im kinda busy with the miracle system of my mod

(well not that busy)

[stoic void]

thats fine

[solid salmon]

well hypothetically

if i said yes

what would you want me to do (no art i am geniunely ass)

[lament agate]

@lucid owl i remember your mod has a soul card in it

how do you draw the custom soul sprite

[stoic void]

@solid salmon

[solid salmon]

yes

[stoic void]

look at the message i replied to

but if you have none, thats fine

[solid salmon]

like i get you want minecraft stuff but like

what?

give me an idea and i could PROBABLY program it

[stoic void]

nah, i can try do code

[solid salmon]

... im so confused

[stoic void]

I need ideas only

if you have none, thats ok

"really ideas are the things i want"
"but if you have none, thats fine"

[solid salmon]

well tell me what already exists so no repeats

[solid salmon]

ok uh 3 ideas

first food jokers based of minecraft foods

[stoic void]

yeah ok

[solid salmon]

second

maybe fusion compat for golden foods or something

third, allay: at the end of the shop creates a minecraft consumable or food joker

[stoic void]

thx

Ima adding you to the credits list just so i dont forget

[lucid owl]

custom function in soul_pos

check the code of soully

it's not documented

basically you can define a draw function in soul_pos

i just mostly copied over soul code from vanilla and removed unneeded parts, then tweaked values at random until it looked a little different

[solid salmon]

actually

[stoic void]

actually

[solid salmon]

i kinda wanna help out

[lament agate]

i see

[tired kestrel]

finally figured out.

[lament agate]

where did you save soully

[stoic void]

yeah ok https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1441161762232729610
you are being enlisted

[tired kestrel]

Yeah, kinda like that except right now I think I managed to get it working via "hooking" somehow

[stoic void]

the google sheets can be commented on by anyone

[lucid owl]

content/consumables/

[daring fern]

No, you patch get_straight

[gusty compass]

i think the new steamodded update broke something, im very certain its SMODS.scoring_calculation and SMODS.scoring_parameter 🥀

cus it was working a bit earlier

[lucid owl]

steamodded hasn't been updated in a while

release wise

[gusty compass]

prob, but it mentions it changed something with SMODS.scoring_parameter

it was working in 1.0.0~BETA-0827c but not in the latest one

[umbral spire]

how do i get a jokers' sticker

[umbral spire]

creeper, aw man.

[umbral spire]

also, what's this? this looks nice.

wait are you making a Minecraft mod? :0

[daring fern]

local stickers = {}
for k, v in pairs(SMODS.Stickers) do
    if card.ability[v.key] then
        table.insert(stickers, v.key)
    end
end

[umbral spire]

what about checking a specific joker?

[daring fern]

Yes, card is the card.

[umbral spire]

oh

[umbral spire]

no wait i meant sticker

how to check for a specfic sticker

[daring fern]

if card.ability.modprefix_key

[cyan lagoon]

how can i make an enhancement works as a consumable?

[umbral spire]

What's your goal?

You want it to be "use-able"?

[cyan lagoon]

i want a card that would have the use button like consumables

on it's own it doesn't do anything

like ccd cards

[umbral spire]

I've never seen that been implemented before, I don't know.

[cyan lagoon]

doingthe opposite got me kinda close, but it didn't get shown in the deck proper

[versed swan]

I'm fairly certain this is caused by not using the UI element generated by SMODS.GUI.operator(scale); had a very similar crash to this one and it destroyed me mentally for a few days

[gusty compass]

I'm checking the code in my mod, it does have SMODS.GUI.operator(scale) so I don't really get why its not working as intended

But it could be outdated and I'd need to tinker with it

[solid salmon]

is there a way to add voucher slots in the shop?

oh wait

there is

[gusty compass]

But it could be that my other parameter doesn't use smods.gui.operator

Idk

[versed swan]

It could also be caused by trying to set the scoring calculation before the run is actually loaded; another fix I tried was hooking Game:start_run and setting the calculation after the original function is run

[gusty compass]

Yea I have it hooked already

Its most likely SMODS.scoring_parameter

[versed swan]

I got no clue then

[gusty compass]

Yea I just tried to get rid of operator ui, same deal 😔

[versed swan]

I wanna see if I can fix this crash with an smods PR (since yours seems nonetheless similar to the crash I had before); is it okay if you send me a link tk your mod's repo?

[gusty compass]

I could send the main.lua file if that's ok

[versed swan]

Are you modding on like one file or smth

[gusty compass]

I'm coding the parameter on main.lua, the rest are separate files

[versed swan]

Ah

Yeah feel free, you can send it via dms if you wish as well

[gusty compass]

Alright

this is the one

[versed swan]

Alright, ill read through it after I get back from work, thank you

[gusty compass]

thanks a lot

FYI I'm doing this on the latest steamodded version if that helps

[solid salmon]

guys

is there a way to remove vouchers from the shop

[daring fern]

Card:remove()

[solid salmon]

that didnt work

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

No, SMODS.change_voucher_limit

[solid salmon]

you told me Card:remove

also do i put a value for that?

[daring fern]

No, for adding a voucher to the shop.

[solid salmon]

ok i added it to the adding a voucher to the shop

[cyan lagoon]

how can i make a card immune to changes (enhancements, seal etc)?

[daring fern]

Hook Card:set_ability, Card:set_seal, Card:set_edition, Card:add_sticker and Card:set_base

[cyan lagoon]

now, how do i id that card if it's a consumable?

[wintry solar]

Can you post the full crash log and explain when it crashes?

[cyan lagoon]

'card.config.center.key'?

[daring fern]

You mean a consumable that makes a card immune to changes?

[cyan lagoon]

a playing card made into a consumable

[daring fern]

You would still hook those functions.

[tired kestrel]

it kinda works... but still I just wanted it to like detect an already number that doesn't get spaced in. though I have an idea about it.

[lament agate]

how do i detect if a boss blind is a showdown blind

[cyan lagoon]

yeah, but how do i id it so i can tell the function to not change it?

[cyan lagoon]

?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.blind.config.blind.boss and G.GAME.blind.config.blind.boss.showdown

[gusty compass]

The crash occurs upon starting a new run, getting rid of the SMODS.scoring_parameter and SMODS.scoring_calculation related sections seem to let the game run

[daring fern]

You would set a flag on the card.

[cyan lagoon]

uhuh

[wintry solar]

You’re probablysetting the calc in the wrong timing, this is before the hud has been created

[solid salmon]

@daring fern how am i supposed to make it remove vouchers

[gusty compass]

it could be the case but unless the ordering was changed in the latest smods release, im not sure how effective that would be

[wintry solar]

You want the scoring calc all of the time when your mod is installed?

[gusty compass]

i guess so

[wintry solar]

Then hook Game:start_run iirc

[gusty compass]

also the thing was working in 1.0.0~BETA-0827c, the code executed the calculation fine

yea i have it hooked

[wintry solar]

You don’t in the code you sent

[gusty compass]

did i not?

[wintry solar]

No you have it in a reset game global function

[gusty compass]

oh

[wintry solar]

That’ll be called part way through start run, I’m away from my dumps right now but I imagine that’s before the HUD is created

[gusty compass]

so how would i switch this to after the HUD is created, since my knowledge over hooking sucks

[wintry solar]

This

[gusty compass]

fair enough

alr let me try that

[solid salmon]

chat how do i make this remove vouchers after selling it

[wintry solar]

Change voucher limit -1

[solid salmon]

that doesnt work

[wintry solar]

Oh right it doesn’t remove it

[tired kestrel]

has anyone got an idea on how to like get it to work where if you pick a different card it would mess up.
Also make the other card would be played too?

[solid salmon]

then how do i remove it eremel?

[wintry solar]

Just remove the last card in the area

[gusty compass]

Just for clarification, would I have to override Game:start_run to apply this change or can I somehow call it and change it there

[solid salmon]

...

[wintry solar]

Do not override it at all

[gusty compass]

Alright

[wintry solar]

eh. Y'know what I think I'll keep ti like that but still want to like for the 3rd card to be scored

welp i tried 😭

[tired kestrel]

nvm I got it to work somehow

Here it is on action I managed:

[solid salmon]

is there a way to increase booster slots?

[gusty compass]

SMODS.change_booster_limit(mod) i believe

[viscid talon]

this joker works fine but it doesnt update the xmult count

what do i do

[daring fern]

Remove the second vars in the first vars in loc_vars

[tired kestrel]

why isn't the joker giving chips with a custom message?

[viscid talon]

oke

[daring fern]

No, only the second vars

me shez wont update the variables

like this

(this works for d20 for some reason)

[viscid talon]

?

[daring fern]

chip_message = {message = 'WIN', colour = G.C.CHIPS, sound = 'chips1'}

[solid salmon]

you gotta quote the key

also

numerator and denominator is a part of the vars

[daring fern]

No, the second vars not the first vars

Also you should be using card instead of self in SMODS.get_probability_vars

[tired kestrel]

alright

[viscid talon]

?

[daring fern]

return {vars = {numerator, denominator, card.ability.extra.multvar}}

[solid salmon]

bump

[tired kestrel]

I tried that but didn't trigger when I replace in return somehow

it didn't even update the chips

[daring fern]

Code?

[tired kestrel]

if context.joker_main then
            if next(context.poker_hands['Straight']) or next(context.poker_hands['Straight Flush']) then

this

hopefully I didn't do this wrong but yeah.

[daring fern]

No, you need to keep the chips

[tired kestrel]

alright, I ended up trying with the chips and... still didn't work even though I did add back in the ships.

[solid salmon]

ITS SO DAMN SLOW

[tired kestrel]

I set it slow just to see if it actually works, but turns out it didn't?

[solid salmon]

THAT MAKES -100CHIPS

[tired kestrel]

it's supposed to be 12 chips not -100 and apperently it didn't takeaway chips?

[solid salmon]

no i mean

like

that makes no sense

(but since its poker its chips)

[tired kestrel]

I'm confused.

[solid salmon]

guh

oh yeah

these values arent getting update for some reason

[gusty compass]

im so lost 😭

I've got this DrawStep for one of my Jokers, but it ends up lagging the game out over the course of a run, I'm assuming it's because it just keeps drawing over and over, but how do I fix it?

    order = 50,
    func = function(card)

[gusty compass]

i have absolutely no idea how i hook Game.start_run properly, since either it crashes or the game just becomes black upon starting a run, tried returning args, not returning args etc etc. im so lost 😭

[red flower]

code?

should be something like this

[slim ferry]

(also SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals can do the same things usually)

[gusty compass]

i was doing something like this because i was told overriding was not a good idea: ```lua

Game.start_run = function(self, args)
SMODS.set_scoring_calculation("GG_powerCalc")
end

[slim ferry]

this is overriding

[gusty compass]

yea it was working before i updated SMODS

[slim ferry]

you need to run the original function

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-hook

[sharp arch]

            end``` this is fine, right?

[red flower]

instead of local image use something like G.willatro_image

and only make it if it doesnt exist

[red flower]

G.consumeables.cards

notice the consumEables

[sharp arch]

i just noticed that oh my g o d

[loud summit]

how do get the unscoring cards?

[sharp arch]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local fish_tally = 0
            for _, consumeable in ipairs(G.consumeables.cards) do
                if next(SMODS.find_card("c_jabong_bass")) or 
                next(SMODS.find_card("c_jabong_trout")) or 
                next(SMODS.find_card("c_jabong_tuna")) then 
                     fish_tally = fish_tally + 1
                end
            end
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.dollars, card.ability.extra.dollars * fish_tally } }

            end
        return fish_tally > 0 and card.ability.extra.dollars * fish_tally or nil
    end``` ok i fucked some shit up BAD

[loud summit]

how do you getthe unscoring cards

[sharp arch]

-- do code
end```

[loud summit]

in the before step i mean

[sharp arch]

oh

well i guess itd be context.before instead of individual

ive never done that before

[daring fern]

local unscoring_cards = {}
for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
    if not SMODS.in_scoring(v, context.scoring_hand) then

how do you destroy a card outside of context.destroy_card safetly

[viscid talon]

is it possible to have a specific consumable set appear in a store once you've successfuly redeemed one?

idk how to explain it

[wind steppe]

Trying to access G.consumeables when it doesn't exist (namely outside a run)

[viscid talon]

i have a consumable (daat) that has a specific requirement. i want it so that after i redeem daat, i want the rest of the divine cards (e.g. soul of hatchet) to be spawnable in a store

[sharp arch]

oh so its like the G.jokers thing

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-destroy-cards

[viscid talon]

but i also want it to be a permanent unlock, much like how you can always get blueprint if you win a run

tldr how do you give consumables an unlolck requirement like some jokers

[wind steppe]

for consumables its The Exact Same As A Joker if you want unlock requirements

your case sounds like this isnt the best way to do it though

I'd patch into create_card_for_shop and add a chance to spawn divine cards if a specific profile setting is true

and set the profile setting when you redeem daat

[viscid talon]

profile setting?

oh okay, thats what i wanna do

[wind steppe]

G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile] is a table you can store things to

saved on reloads

its tied to the profile so if you reset profile itll reset too

[red flower]

i wouldnt, just modify the consumable rate

[wind steppe]

when would you modify it though

[red flower]

at the start of the run

[wind steppe]

oh right

[red flower]

or when the unlock is met

[wind steppe]

nvm ignore me thats definitely better

keep the profile setting though

[viscid talon]

ok so i learned what a career stat is

im guessing i have to create a "career stat" that activates once i use daat

[slim ferry]

career stats already exist for most things

like consumable usage

[viscid talon]

thats true, but how can i make a specific one just for daat usage

[slim ferry]

so you can check for that

[wind steppe]

that exists already

Every consumable has its own career stat

[viscid talon]

ooh i see

what would it be called then

[wind steppe]

idk

go dig around in the lovely dump or something

[viscid talon]

would it be smth like return G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].career_stats.c_hatch_daat > to_big(1)

wots a lovely dump

[wind steppe]

in your mods folder

lovely folder

dump folder

That's Balatro's source code after it's patched

[viscid talon]

oke, checking rn

[wind steppe]

Might also be in SMODS folders

[viscid talon]

hmm

wouldnt it be easier to create a flag that triggers when daat is used

and then have that flag trigger the unlock condition?

[wind steppe]

not really

flag already exists

no need to make something new

[slim ferry]

the tables are number indexed, so it would look like this more

for _, v in ipairs(G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].career_stats.consumeable_usage) do
    if v.key == "c_hatch_daat" then
        return v.amount >= 1 --i forgor what the actual usage count is called just eval the consumable usage with debugplus
    end
end

[viscid talon]

hmm

[wind steppe]

Also talisman doesn't bignumify stats afaik

[viscid talon]

so if i use daat once, soulofhatchet should unlock?

[slim ferry]

i think so

[wind steppe]

check_for_unlock probably isnt the best way to do it

[slim ferry]

this would run very often so it should basically unlock whenever

[wind steppe]

you want every divine card to appear in the shop after daat right

[viscid talon]

yes

EXCEPT daat

since daat has a "soul" like function

[wind steppe]

give daat an in_pool and modify consumable rate for divines when starting a run or using daat

[main pebble]

hey is there a default context for when playing cards are purchased? the closest thing i found is hologram's playing_card_added but i'm looking for a context that applies to jokers and consumables as well

[slim ferry]

context.buying_card?

[main pebble]

thanks

[viscid talon]

🤔

i tried what eris suggested and got this error

[slim ferry]

fuck

okay i guess it isnt initialized that early

[viscid talon]

maybe ill just make it smth you get by default

[wind steppe]

when did you run the code

[viscid talon]

i reset my balatro profile and got this error

[wind steppe]

check_for_unlock?

oh reset profile

yeah probably modify consumable rate with a hook on run start

(and when daat is used)

[viscid talon]

idk how to do any of that

[sharp arch]

      local tally = 0
        for _, consumeable in ipairs(G.consumeables.cards) do
                tally = tally + 1
            end
        if tally >=1 then
            for _, consumeable in ipairs(G.consumeables.cards) do
                
            end
        end
    end,
     can_use = function(self, card)
        return (G.consumeables and #G.consumeables.cards < G.consumeables.config.card_limit) or
            (card.area == G.consumeables)
    end``` how would I destroy every consumable in the are like this

[wind steppe]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-hook

[slim ferry]

what do you mean destroy every consumable in the are

what does that mean

[daring fern]

SMODS.destroy_cards(G.consumeables.cards)

[slim ferry]

oh

area

[wind steppe]

minor spelling mistake

[slim ferry]

right

[wind steppe]

what happened to somethingcom
are they going to start reacting with ❗

[sharp arch]

so I dont need the second for do loop then?

[wind steppe]

you dont need any loop just run the destroy_cards once

[sharp arch]

ok

[slim ferry]

why is the single excalamation mark just called exclamation but the double is called bangbang

[wind steppe]

for ⁉️ of course

this obviously means blunder should actually be called interrointerro

[sharp arch]

ok now how would I create a random tag per the destroyed consumeable (which is the tocreate car)

local tally = 0
        for _, consumeable in ipairs(G.consumeables.cards) do
                tally = tally + 1
            end
        local tocreate = tally
        if tally >=1 then
           SMODS.destroy_cards(G.consumeables.cards)
              for i = 1, tocreate do
                
            end
        end
    end,```

[wind steppe]

You don't need two loops

[slim ferry]

first of all you should just do tocreate = #G.consumeables.cards

[wind steppe]

Instead of incrementing a tally just. Create the tags as they're looped through

and then destroy after

[slim ferry]

and secondly do https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#tags

[wind steppe]

or destroy as you go through

[sharp arch]

'modprefix_seed can just be whatever, right

[slim ferry]

yes

[viscid talon]

ok so ive given divine cards a shoprate, all i need to do is figure out how to not let daat itself count for that

im guessing i have to do the soulable whatsit right

in daat.lua?

[slim ferry]

i mean it shouldnt spawn regardless if it has hidden set to true

[viscid talon]

ooh okay

done

[wind steppe]

yes but it should have your mod prefix so it doesnt collide

[sharp arch]

this is so confusing 😭

[red flower]

damn the comment says voucher

[gusty compass]

Finally figured that shit out, apparently I had to run the function first to set G.HUD, relief

[viscid talon]

almost ready for release, just two isseus

• sephirot packs still say "ERROR" when you get them, and idk how to fix that
• divine hatchet doesnt create a hatchet when it "devolves"

wait nvm it does

ok so error 2 is fixed

error 1 however idk what to do

how do i make it not say "ERROR" :sovb

[sharp arch]

Well if it helps, Using loc_txt and the group_name string, you can fix it, as long as it doesnt conflict with a different version of the same parameter (at least thats what i did)
Like this:

        name = "Mega Balaal Pack",
        description = {
            "Choose #2# of up to #1# {C:attetnion}Balaal{} jokers."
        },
        group_name = "Balaal Pack"
    },```

[viscid talon]

ill give that a shot

[sharp arch]

my descriptions dont show up though so take this with a grain of aslt

[wind steppe]

attetnion

[viscid talon]

attetnion

[sharp arch]

i keep FUCKING DOING THAT AAAAAAA

[slim ferry]

remove group_key from the pack, i know JF adds that automatically and that overrides and breaks loc_txt for the pack

[wind steppe]

or use a proper localization file

[viscid talon]

soon

[slim ferry]

ayetrue

[viscid talon]

one called "en_us.lua" right

[wind steppe]

en-us.lua

with a hyphen

[slim ferry]

inside a localization folder

[wind steppe]

also inside localization foler

[viscid talon]

mmmmm

im currently merging my jokers under a single src file

[sharp arch]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS[card.ability.mod_conv]
        return { vars = { card.ability.max_highlighted, localize { type = 'name_text', set = 'Enhanced', key = card.ability.mod_conv  } } }
    end,``` If I wanna check if a card has a specific enhancement for this consumable to be used, i'd need the long code for this, im guessing

[chrome widget]

I just realied that Magic Deck doesn't actually directly use the Tarot color palette and that bugs the hell out of me

ough

[daring fern]

‎

[subtle merlin]

I have some ideas that i need help implementing so i thought id ask here:
blind 1: removes all text (including tooltips) for the blind
blind 2: the screen doesn't visually react to what you do until you hit play (this is the best way i can describe it)

[main pebble]

buying_card works but doesn't trigger upon opening booster packs. is there a context for that?

[spiral mural]

how do i add to the debt cap

[daring fern]

context.open_booster

[main pebble]

yeah but that triggers with booster skip tags as well

[daring fern]

Decrease G.GAME.bankrupt_at

[daring fern]

if context.open_booster and not context.card.from_tag

[main pebble]

i see

thanks

[spiral mural]

i need to alter money given from a joker, how do i do that 😇
(more specifically, making it so the amount given goes into a different value (decreasing G.GAME.bankrupt_at))

[daring fern]

You mean you want jokers that give money to instead decrease G.GAME.bankrupt_at?

[spiral mural]

yes

[daring fern]

if context.post_trigger and context.other_card.ability.set == 'Joker' and context.other_ret.jokers and (context.other_ret.jokers.dollars or context.other_ret.jokers.p_dollars or context.other_ret.jokers.h_dollars) then local value = (context.other_ret.jokers.dollars or context.other_ret.jokers.p_dollars or context.other_ret.jokers.h_dollars) context.other_ret.jokers.dollars, context.other_ret.jokers.p_dollars, context.other_ret.jokers.h_dollars = nil G.GAME.bankrupt_at = G.GAME.bankrupt_at - value end

[spiral mural]

no formatting...

[spiral mural]

uh this is for a edition and so i can't really see context (unless i find some way of accessing what card is applied to the edition)

[daring fern]

No, editions have calculate

[spiral mural]

(unless i find some way of accessing what card is applied to the edition)

[daring fern]

Yes, SMODS.Edition has calculate

[spiral mural]

what card is applied to the edition

i need to know what the card is

[wintry solar]

yes it's the card value in your calculate function

[spiral mural]

now im getting this error

[daring fern]

Code?

[spiral mural]

        if context.post_trigger and context.other_card.ability.set == 'Joker' and context.other_ret.jokers and (context.other_ret.jokers.dollars or context.other_ret.jokers.p_dollars or context.other_ret.jokers.h_dollars) then
            local value =  (context.other_ret.jokers.dollars or context.other_ret.jokers.p_dollars or context.other_ret.jokers.h_dollars)

            G.GAME.bankrupt_at = G.GAME.bankrupt_at - value 
        end
    end```

[daring fern]

It's self, card, context not just card in the inputs.

[spiral mural]

ew

[spiral mural]

the code doesn't seem to be working 😔

[daring fern]

Try with jokers that give dollars directly and not at the end of the round.

[obsidian spear]

engine/sprite.lua:109: Shader uniform 'warmsh' does not exist.
A common error is to define but not use the variable.```
help I hate shaders

[spiral mural]

extern PRECISION vec2 warm has to be called warmsh and used somewhere in the code

[obsidian spear]

great

[spiral mural]

if you really don't want to use it, just add this in the effect code
if (warmsh .y > warmsh .y*2) {tex = vec4(0);}

[obsidian spear]

the fs name is warm tho

[spiral mural]

are you sure its like that everywhere

[obsidian spear]

no

lol

oh :(

wait no

i can fix this

[spiral mural]

ok so its still not doing anything

        if context.post_trigger and context.other_card.ability.set == 'Joker' and context.other_ret.jokers and (context.other_ret.jokers.dollars or context.other_ret.jokers.p_dollars or context.other_ret.jokers.h_dollars) then

    end```

[wintry solar]

you need to turn the post trigger optional feature on

[spiral mural]

still not working 😔

[lone estuary]

ok so im doing an old mod and for some reason when i put odds on 1/3 and mult for X2 it swaps on the desc (its still 1/3 and x2 ingame and the pop up is also x2), im new with modding so sorry if this is a rookie mistake

[daring fern]

Swap the #3# and the #2#

[lone estuary]

it worked, why does it happen if its written correctly? (or at least i think so)

and ty too

[obsidian spear]

wdym written correctly?

the #_# is to get the variable

number inbetween is the index

[lone estuary]

oh

nvm

ty for the explanation

[gaunt folio]

how can i check a specific SOLD joker's rarity? card.config.center.rarity isn't working but my code is probably missing something

[frosty rampart]

just card.config.center.rarity is the card that's currently calculating
context.card.config.center.rarity will get the rarity of the card being sold

[gaunt folio]

aight thanks

[daring fern]

No, it's context.card:is_rarity('Common')

[reef belfry]

where will i patch how money is displayed? (i.e making a money cap indicator)

[gaunt folio]

it works tho

[daring fern]

Yes, but you should be using Card:is_rarity

[gaunt folio]

fair enough

[spiral mural]

still not working

    post_trigger = true,
}```

[versed swan]

You did not hook Game:start_run; [mod object].reset_game_globals is run before G.HUD is created, and setting the scoring calculation while G.HUD is non-existent causes the crash. You'll need to do the following to prevent crashes related to setting the scoring calculation at the very start of the run:

local game_startrun_ref = Game.start_run
function Game:start_run(args)
  game_startrun_ref(self, args)
  if not args.savetext then
    SMODS.set_scoring_calculation("GG_powerCalc")
  end
end

at least until an update for SMODS.set_scoring_calculation is made that first checks for G.HUD

[viscid talon]

https://github.com/PlasmaPhrase/Hatchet/releases/tag/v1.4.0-beta-2

can someone help me figure out why sets.lua is causing interference

its saying hatch-kether in empty pool or smth

[main pebble]

is there a way to make the upgrade message show up for every iteration of the for loop instead of only upon returning?

[daring fern]

local effects = {}
local cards = SMODS.shallow_copy(G.playing_cards)
for i=1, G.GAME.current_round.discards_left do
    card.ability.extra.x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult + 0.25
    local _card, index = pseudorandom_element(cards , 'random_destroy')
    table.remove(cards, index)
    SMODS.destroy_cards(_card)
    table.insert(effects, {colour = G.C.RED, message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')}
end
return SMODS.merge_effects(effects)

Also use context.main_eval instead of not (context.individual or context.repetition)

[main pebble]

i see

thanks

[reef belfry]

just to double check this IS where the GUI is defined, right?

[stuck ore]

if card.ability.extra.two_count <= 2 then
                if current_twos <= 2 then
                    if context.other_card:get_id() == 2 then
                        card:juice_up(1,0.5)
                        context.other_card.ability.perma_x_chips = context.other_card.ability.perma_x_chips or 0
                        context.other_card.ability.perma_x_chips = context.other_card.ability.perma_x_chips + card.ability.extra.xchips
                    end
                    current_twos = current_twos + 1
                end
            end

So I'm trying to make it to where if a hand is played with exactly two 2's then they will gain xchips on the card permanently however the code I used before that added permenant x_mult didn't transfer one to one and I'm confused on how what the code for making the cards have xchips is or if that is something possible within the default code.

Nevermind sorry I had my variables written wrong so they couldn't work correctly

(Works now)

[brazen kite]

question: i want to have my custom deck turn all cards that are given any enhancement immediately into wild cards. how could i go about doing this?

should i like hook into set_ability or is there a better way

[daring fern]

Yes, you would hook Card:set_ability

[brazen kite]

okay

[reef belfry]

how do you check when an ante changes outside of calculate...

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[reef belfry]

create a tag after an increment in ante

[frosty rampart]

what gives this effect exactly

[reef belfry]

it should be universal for any deck and run

[frosty rampart]

put it in the mod's global calculate function then

[reef belfry]

i see

[frosty rampart]

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
  -- do stuff here
end

put that in your main file or wherever you want to organize it
and yes it has to be specifically current_mod, that's not a placeholder

[brazen kite]

OH NO

[twilit tundra]

yeah uh

you should check that its a playing card first :P

[brazen kite]

yeah lmao

[stuck ore]

what is the code for brown? like G.C.BROWN but like, that doesn't work so what might the correct one be?

[daring fern]

if not initial and center.set == 'Enhanced'

[brazen kite]

yes i figured it out i just thought it would be funny to post my mishap

ugh now i have to figure out how to make this work for standard pack pickups

[daring fern]

Code?

[brazen kite]

i'll ask for help if i can't figure it out once i give it a go

i'm just anxious about having to do it :p

(i'm pretty new to modding)

[stuck ore]

Is there an area we have all the G.C colours or am I foolish and you can make hexcode ids work somehow

[daring fern]

­

[frosty rampart]

brown isn't included by default, there is a way to add custom G.C colors but it's not particularly documented, there's also probably a way to just use a custom hex code depending on where you're trying to use it
for reference here's a list of all the default colors available
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#named-colours-dictionary-gargsloc_colours

[mystic river]

you can also just use context.setting_ability instead of doing a hook
like this https://github.com/wingedcatgirl/MintysSillyMod/blob/next/stakes/stakes.lua#L211

[brazen kite]

ohcool

[stuck ore]

Thank you, also I'm not sure if I'm just not reading the stuff correctly but where could I find a place that shows how to make custom colours?

[frosty rampart]

yea like i said it's not very documented
the first example i can think of is paperback, but i'm pretty sure that it actually does it in a fairly bad way (it uses a patch when it really doesn't need to)

[stuck ore]

ah gotcha

[mystic river]

in most contexts HEX("123456") should work
if you specifically need an entry in G.C about it, you can do G.C.COLORNAME = HEX("123456")

[frosty rampart]

ok here's what you can do to fully integrate a color

loc_colour()
G.C.BROWN = HEX("...") -- fill in the hex code you want here
G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS["brown"] = G.C.BROWN

this additionally lets you use {C:brown}brown text here{} in localization files

[stuck ore]

Sorry twas not at my computer, thanks a ton

[final jewel]

So, I'm trying to make certain consumable uncopiable like I know its weird but I need it to balance my mod, so yeah ! If you know my mod you'll understand what I am talking about. I did a hook but it doesnt seems to work with perkeo.

[brazen kite]

ok is there a context for when a playing card is added to the deck

i feel like there ought to be something simple because hologram

[daring fern]

context.playing_card_added

[brazen kite]

huh

okay

i tried that and nothing happened earlier so ig im doing something wrong hmm

oh i see

[daring fern]

local oldcopycard = copy_card
function copy_card(other, new_card, card_scale, playing_card, strip_edition)
    local g = oldcopycard(other, new_card, card_scale, playing_card, strip_edition)
    if other.config.center.giga_data and other.config.center.giga_data.uncopiable then SMODS.destroy_cards(g) end
    return g
end

[final jewel]

oh nice

but which card is destroy

[brazen kite]

ok huge im finally done with this stupid deck

[final jewel]

yeah it work but is there a way to not show the card or if not to show a message like 'Not allowed'

[reef belfry]

how do i check what round it is

oh nvm

[final jewel]

G.GAME.round

[daring fern]

g.states.visible = false?

[final jewel]

oh yeah

question: is there a way have it cards that have been played this ante retrigger

[mystic river]

look for whatever the pillar uses and return { repetitions = 1 } in the appropriate context

[daring fern]

if context.repetition and context.other_card.ability.played_this_ante then return {repetitions = 1} end

[golden field]

thanks

[urban wasp]

why doesn't this work?

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.tag_negative

[daring fern]

It's G.P_TAGS not G.P_CENTERS

[urban wasp]

ah

[golden field]

it worked but now it retriggers all played cards so how would i make it only do that when on big blind and boss blind

[daring fern]

if G.GAME.blind:get_type() == 'Big' or G.GAME.blind.boss

[obsidian spear]

shader question,

how would I make part of a shader be like transparent, kinda like burnt joker's holes but without the grey parts

some noise map or smth idk

wondering why this doesn't work

                }
            end
        end
    end
}

-# supposed to be like conditional serpent, if discarding/playing up to 3 cards always draw 3 cards

[daring fern]

context.before and context.drawing_cards don't occur at the same time.

[golden field]

ah
lil problem
when i delete context.before it crashes

[daring fern]

Yes, because context.full_hand doesn't exist in context.drawing_cards

[golden field]

where would context.full_hand fall under though

[golden field]

update: fixed™

[vocal helm]

Real quick, how would I localize the name of a booster pack within the context of a joker/description?
i.e. how would I make the localize function return Jumbo Arcana Pack if I put in arcana_jumbo_1 as the key

localize({type = 'name_text', key = 'p_modprefix_key', set = 'Other'})

[vocal helm]

ty!
would it be p_arcana_jumbo_1 or just arcana_jumbo_1

[daring fern]

p_arcana_jumbo

[vocal helm]

ty :>

hm

localize({ type = 'name_text', key = 'p_arcana_jumbo_1', set = 'Other' })
``` it's like this, right?

ah wait, just removing the "_1" makes it work

thank you!

[mossy anchor]

is there a site with everything in a regular jokers calculate functions context variable and what they do

[cerulean rose]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[mossy anchor]

i dont think thats everything considering context.mod_probability doesnt exist there

[cerulean rose]

yeah wiki is out of date

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/lsp_def/utils.lua#L7 is prolly the best ur gonna get

[tired kestrel]

why does chips didn't work?

[cyan lagoon]

so, i told it to not draw cards to hand. how would i go about having the buttons appear?

[tired kestrel]

finally it worked

[wintry solar]

You can find most of them if you look between the wiki and the recent release notes, there will still be a few you’ll miss using those resources, mainly ones that replicate blind behaviours

[obsidian spear]

can some1 guide me through making ui
i just want text on a black box ontop of a joker

[obsidian spear]

why he kinda look like speed

tryna not to laugh

[golden field]

question: any way to make it so that when you discard you get 2 extra cards drawn

[prisma loom]

Is it possible to make let's say a Seal or Enhancement not be shown in the collection but still exist and function in the game?

[red flower]

set a flag in context.pre_discard and check for it in context.drawing_cards and set the amount there (see the serpent in vanillaremade)

[red flower]

no_collection = true ?

[prisma loom]

Will try

[bold gyro]

@obsidian spear okie i'm able to help you out now, apologies in advance if i'm unable to solve all of your difficulties cus i'm not the best with ui either

[obsidian spear]

how do i put it onto a joker

like how to place it somewhere specific

other than that im doing alright

I also do want to know how to add UIcorners

[bold gyro]

UIcorners?

[obsidian spear]

smooth corners

rounded

[solid mesa]

border, radius

[obsidian spear]

first this

[prisma loom]

Can I use SMODS.add_card to add card to deck?

[obsidian spear]

yea

[red flower]

i have jokers with a counter
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/0a5c0f6951f7f3073acb7f06ee1fafed950eef16/src/card_ui.lua#L489

[obsidian spear]

tyy n

[red flower]

i just put the function above that in the joker's update

[obsidian spear]

ah i see

[obsidian spear]

i only care to place it there once

since the player shouldnt be able to move anything while its there

[red flower]

that only places them once

[obsidian spear]

wait so which stuff specifically

[red flower]

this
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/0a5c0f6951f7f3073acb7f06ee1fafed950eef16/src/card_ui.lua#L478

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/0a5c0f6951f7f3073acb7f06ee1fafed950eef16/src/jokers/05Spright.lua#L493

[bold gyro]

okay here's a simple ui i made for my mod, the most important things that control the position of the ui (in my case literally a blank box) are in the UIBOX's config table's offset and major values

you should be able to set major = <your joker here>, and when the function is called, it'll place the ui at the joker

[obsidian spear]

ah alr

[bold gyro]

G.ROOM_ATTACH is basically the whole screen, and it's great if you want to set something to a (basically) arbitrary position not linked to other ui

[obsidian spear]

mmhmm

[prisma loom]

so this is a table for scoring hand: context.scoring_hand[i]
the table for deck would be: context.deck[i]

right?

[red flower]

no, G.deck.cards

it's also indexed in reverse order

[obsidian spear]

okay so.. how do i make it a higher layer

[prisma loom]

local cards = {}
cards[i] = SMODS.add_card { set = "Base", rank = 'Ace', enhancement = enhancement.key }

Does this add to deck or hand?

[red flower]

hand

[prisma loom]

Is there anywhere a context mentioned for it?

[red flower]

what

[prisma loom]

it just says "cards"

not hand or deck

[chrome widget]

I have something devious in the works....

[red flower]

I don't understand the question

[red flower]

hii winter

[chrome widget]

Hi N'!!!!

[prisma loom]

What determines this piece of code to add cards to hand

[chrome widget]

I spent five hours today painstakingly color correcting all set-relevant cards in vanilla to use consistent palettes

[red flower]

it just does that by default
if you want the deck do area = G.deck

[prisma loom]

In the {} brackets?

[red flower]

yes

[chrome widget]

Hopefully by tomorrow or Monday I will have an API feature for programmatic palette customization for vanilla consumable types

[golden field]

a what now-

[red flower]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_(programming)

[prisma loom]

Why does this keep popping up?

Am I missing something in the vars/config?

[golden field]

ah

still dont really get it but i'll try-

[obsidian spear]

how would I update this down the line?

            local my_menu = UIBox({
                definition = createMajorMenu({
                    { n = G.UIT.T, config = {align= "cm", text = string.sub(word, 0, #completed+1), colour = G.C.WHITE, scale = 0.75 } },
                    { n = G.UIT.T, config = {align= "cm", text = string.sub(word, #completed+1, #word), colour = G.C.INACTIVE, scale = 0.75 } },
                }),
                config = {id = "btr_enMajText",type = "cm", major = c, bond = "Weak", instance_type = "POPUP"}
            })
            local my_menu_node = {n=G.UIT.O, config={object = my_menu, type = "cm"}}

or more how I was gonna do it, how do I destroy it

[prisma loom]

Is this function for checking the rank of the card only?

I want to make a hook for an enhancement

[obsidian spear]

found it

[stoic void]

line 152 is
add_tag(Tag((poll_tags(nil, nil, true, true))))

[red flower]

there's no poll_tags

[prisma loom]

Who made VanillaRemade?

[red flower]

also if the joker just has the option between 2 tags you dont need to poll all of them

[red flower]

hi

[prisma loom]

How did you make stone cards not show up "Rank of Suits" in the textbox?

Or how do stone cards override that

[prisma loom]

Replace base card? I think I missed that

Thanks!!!

[prisma loom]

Btw, you are my goat🐐

vanilla remade is a treasure trove

[stoic void]

What is i want 3 tags?

bercuase i think i might have a idea that uses 3 instead

[slim ferry]

the same

because pseudorandom_element exists

just use that on a list of tag keys

[stoic void]

can i have an example on what it would look like?

[gusty compass]

Would you guys know what context is used to retrigger a joker?

[slim ferry]

add_tag(Tag(pseudorandom_element({"tag_foil", "tag_holo", "tag_polychrome"}, "seed"))

should look like this

[stoic void]

yup ok

[slim ferry]

but then with the tag keys different

[stoic void]

also damn those were the 3 tags i was gonna use 😭
