[umbral spire]

are you testing with the Joker Joker?

in the second if condition you should add and context.individual if your goal is to repeat EVERY card by card.ability.extra.repetitions

[balmy spire]

No, with my own

alright

[umbral spire]

then what are you using to repeat?

[versed swan]

it generates the same stone cards with internal ranks and suits on every seed

[balmy spire]

a joker i created

should i put the key in the joker label

[umbral spire]

yes.

[balmy spire]

gotcha

my bad

[normal crest]

that certainly wasn't the case for me

Oh I know why

CardSleeves moves the seeding stuff to happen earlier

I missed that last night

[versed swan]

can we just make that an smods pr

and save the sanity of like, literally every developer here

[umbral spire]

it's alr lol

[versed swan]

nvm

[normal crest]

lol

[wintry solar]

What does this code do

[normal crest]

if you're referring to that screenshot, it sets up the run seeding before Back:apply_to_run is called

[versed swan]

# stupid implementation because steamodded didn't accept my PR (could possibly rewrite using events instead)
# Move seed generation to be before Back:apply and Stake.modifiers() so that both methods can use the seed and true pseudorandom numbers
# Needs to have later priority than Cryptid
# Game:start_run (both patches)

[wintry solar]

I don’t see why that would have been rejected

I’ll have to find the original PR and see

[normal crest]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/218

[balmy spire]

still doesnt

[wintry solar]

I don’t see why we can’t move the seeding before these functions are called, but the playing card issue remains the case

[normal crest]

Balatro has a way of adding extra cards to the deck already if that's what you meant

it's just that apply_to_run currently can't use seeding before it happens

[wintry solar]

No I mean aures comment about when they are created

[versed swan]

@wooden nexus sorry for these constant pings, just another quick question, are you intending for your mod to be Steamodded-dependent or not?

[wooden nexus]

aight, lemme try it

[versed swan]

oh nonono

i wasj ust showing cardsleeve's patch

[wooden nexus]

oh

[versed swan]

this question tho

[wooden nexus]

it will have smods compat yes

[normal crest]

I mean it would be relatively easy to allow for decks to directly modify/filter the card_protos, it'd just be annoying to work with those card control tables

aight I'll try it, thanks

[versed swan]

this time the cards are random per seed

[wooden nexus]

Ayyyy

Awesome, thanks. I put a shoutout/credit to ya in the lovely comments

[normal crest]

I assume the key that is causing issues is _calculate

[final jewel]

Yeah that's what this crash issue

but now if I have the materials it crash

[normal crest]

when doing add_card use G.P_CENTERS[fusion].key instead of center_key

[final jewel]

oh shoot Im dumb

[tired kestrel]

not all but one and maybe some others if they're uneven enough.

[final jewel]

hell yeah I forgot a return true

oh no its not that

Its generating infinitely

I think its because of the function I have hook

which function should I use

[normal crest]

try doing all that only if not G.STATE_COMPLETE then

and before calling the original function

That said, why couldn't you have used the global mod calculate

it sounded like a better option to me

[final jewel]

where do i do I find that

the documentation I mean

[normal crest]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/The-Mod-Object#modcalculateself-table---table-boolean this is all there is about it

[final jewel]

Ok I'll try that

[lunar tiger]

Welp 3 hours into the planning phase of my first mod and I have 34 Joker concepts and 18 consumable concepts. Now I just need to dive into coding and figure out how to make my vision a reality lol

[fleet reef]

hell yeah dude

[lunar tiger]

Oh you know what, I have a big question. So I copied and unzipped the balatro source code into a seperate folder. Any changes I make to this code won't affect my main game, right??

Before I start typing stuff in 🤣

[tired kestrel]

@normal crest don't know if you got my response but just in case.

[lunar tiger]

I know I can always reinstall from Steam should my game get corrupted or I break something, but I have several mods installed and it'd be a pain in the ass to get them back if I had to reinstall

[normal crest]

but are they stickers you made yourself

or just any sticker in general

[normal crest]

no, modifying that won't change anything

[lunar tiger]

Awesome thanks!

[tired kestrel]

any sticker in general like mostly the chip stickers enternal stickers and more

cause right now I cleared a deck with the jokers I made. but right now once cleared the sticker display is out of bounds.

[normal crest]

can you show what it looks like

[tired kestrel]

right now it looks like this:

also seems off since the sprite of this card is like smaller and well yeah.

@normal crest Not sure if there is a way to fix this.

[spiral mural]

how do i load in a custom font

does the game save crashlogs anywhere? getting a stack overflow crash thats definitely an infinite loop of some kind, but the crash also freezes up the crash handler so i cant ctrl+c to copy it

You can't put cards in other cards.

OH LMAO

is there any way to get the total number of chips a card would give (ie chip value + bonus chips)

[daring fern]

card:get_chip_bonus()

[loud summit]

would that give the total number?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[loud summit]

ok good

[versed swan]

SMODS.Font {
    key = <string>,
    path = <file name>,

    FONTSCALE = 0.1 --[[number]],
    squish = 1 --[[number]],

You'll have to experiment with the numbers because idk what they do xd; afterwards you can use these fonts in localization via {f:<mod prefix>_<font key>}

[lunar tiger]

Guys I mentioned earlier that I was looking to see if there was any kind of visual modding option for Balatro and I think I found one by accident, called Joker Forge? It's super helpful and has worked for me so far while making a couple Jokers. It's not perfect, and doesn't have all effects in it, but maybe it could help someone else out who is more visually stimulated like myself. Has anyone used this tool before?

[winter flower]

while i don’t recommend using JF for more advanced stuff,
there is a thread made for this tool
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1386843228330004611

i have used jf in the past and it’s great for starting off modding

[lunar tiger]

Hell yes, thank you! Still super new to this stuff, figuring things out.

[winter flower]

though traditional coding will surpass jf by a longshot, so take a shot at that if you need to

[slim ferry]

look at vanillaremade

do NOT copy the vanilla one billion self.ability.name checks

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[slim ferry]

(unless youre making a mod with only lovely then you kinda have to i guess)

[quasi pike]

I can't find it anywhere, what's the name for High Card in the code?

[slim ferry]

the same

the keys for all the vanilla hands are the same as the english localized name

[quasi pike]

like 'High Card'?

[slim ferry]

yes

[quasi pike]

thx

[normal crest]

they're trying to mod in the gamepass version

by just editing the source code directly

(and with no lua knowledge)

[slim ferry]

oh

does that even work

or does the source code just get restored when starting the game

i know steam loves reverting tampered files in some games

[normal crest]

it seemed to work for them yeah

[oblique lotus]

Is there a specific context in which the ante increases?

[daring fern]

if context.ante_change and context.ante_change > 0

Thanks!

[desert ore]

bump

[quasi pike]

this is suposed to increase the rank of the card when you play a High Card, but it isn't working, does anybody know why?

[frosty rampart]

there's no context.other_card in context.before

use context.scoring_hand[1] to get the first and only card in the played hand

scoring hand
not full hand

my bad

ok

thx

i was already looking at this

[turbid maple]

what are you looking for thats not here

[midnight sluice]

does anyone know of a way to change the default scoring operator? i wanna make a joker that levels it up from an times mult operator to an exponational one

[versed swan]

Also check out https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki

[grim finch]

how does loc_vars work

[midnight sluice]

does this also work for like exponential?

[daring fern]

Yes, but it would be exponent instead of add

[midnight sluice]

you are a life saver!

[tepid crow]

interesting that Scoring_Calculations don't seem to be documented anywhere

[midnight sluice]

yeah that is why i came here

[grim finch]

how do i add variables

[midnight sluice]

cus i straight up couldnt find it

[versed swan]

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

[grim finch]

sry i thought that had to do smt with variables i just wanna know how to add variables

[versed swan]

It does say how to add variables; but here's the syntax for that:

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  return {
    vars = {
      value1,
      value2,
      -- etc.
    }
  }
end

On the loc_txt or localization file, your description should have #1#, #2#, etc., which the values in the vars table will replace correspondingly

[grim finch]

what localization file

[sturdy compass]

They’re “documented” in the discussion post that came out with the update it was shipped with

[grim finch]

i only use one file

[sturdy compass]

It’s not ideal tho

[loud summit]

does context.remove_playing_cards trigger on joker destruction?

[versed swan]

You should probably read this page https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization

[tepid crow]

Oh, so they are

they could probably be pasted directly from that discussion post into the actual docs

[grim finch]

how do i get a list of the chosen cards when using a tarot card

thx

do you have a link to it

hey what args type and variables would i use to check the amount of discovered spectral cards

[loud summit]

its not working, the deck view doesnt contain the new cards

[daring fern]

local function better_copy_card(card, new_card, area)
    if not card then return nil end
    local area = area or (new_card and new_card.area) or card.area or G.jokers
    local cardwasindeck = new_card and new_card.added_to_deck or nil
    local copy = copy_card(card, new_card)
    if new_card and cardwasindeck then copy:remove_from_deck() end
    if card.playing_card then
        G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
        copy.playing_card = G.playing_card
        G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
        table.insert(G.playing_cards, copy)
    end
    if (new_card and cardwasindeck) or not new_card then copy:add_to_deck() end
    if not new_card then area:emplace(copy) end
    return copy
end
local copy = better_copy_card(card)

[loud summit]

oh geebus

what is G.playing_card

[red flower]

when updated correctly it should be the number of cards ever added to the deck iirc

[oblique lotus]

I am having trouble defining new poker hands. Looking at vanilla remade helps when combining parts of other hands, but it isn't the clearest on creating new ones. Is there a good guide out there that explains the process?

[red flower]

no sadly

i would recommend looking at other mods

but its basically just making lists of cards

[twilit tundra]

joyous spring's got a couple unique ones for example

[lunar tiger]

Guys I need help with my coding, I don't know what I did wrong but the game crashes on launch and tells me there is an error on line 24 of my custom consumable. Can anyone figure out why it doesn't work?

dont look at highest priestess though its got its own hand type registry system it wont be helpful, thoug

[twilit tundra]

theres also cardsauce which has a few...
@oblique lotus

so yeah just look at what other mods do, it really depends on how you want your hand to be structured

[lunar tiger]

It says that line 24 should have an "end" but like, it does?? On line 54, doesn't that close the loop??

[twilit tundra]

isnt that closing the for loop? you need an end for the function too

[lunar tiger]

Lmao I think youre right, I think my eyes are tired

[red flower]

you cant have code after a return and returning in use doesnt do anything

[twilit tundra]

arent the returns in event functions though

oh wait or do you mean the message

[red flower]

yes

[lunar tiger]

Ohhhh is it the return that's making it not work then??

Omg it was the "return"!

It's fixed now, thank you!!

[solid salmon]

how do i add gradients to badge colors?

Anyway time to casually drop a banger feature: full palette customization

[tepid crow]

hey, that's pretty cool

[chrome widget]

Definitely going in Arrow 1.1

[paper trout]

is there any easy way to reset the player's deck (of cards) to the default one, or should i just manually destroy each card and add the normal ones back

[gaunt folio]

is it possible to use the retrigger_joker optional feature on editions and make editions retrigger jokers?

this is probably wrong but i want this edition to retrigger cards with the edition or jokers with it

[daring fern]

if ((context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play) or context.retrigger_joker_check) and context.other_card == card

[gaunt folio]

ill try that

it repeats cards that dont have the effect but kw ill keep it as a bonus buff

[spiral mural]

can config store anything

im not storing cards

im storing the ranks of cards

can config store anything excluding cylic tables

and functions

oh my fucking god you are such a smartass

when the replies get deleted and you look schizophrenic

[paper trout]

crazy

[oblique lotus]

Is there a way to color poker hand names in run info? Tried to do it through the localization file with no luck.

[daring fern]

Yes, you would patch create_UIBox_current_hand_row

[karmic arch]

Bump

[oblique lotus]

thanks

[daring fern]

You mean you want to level up all existing poker hands that if they were played they would contain a pair?

[karmic arch]

Yes

Like level up pair, two pair three of kind, full house, , four of a kind, five of kind, flush house, flush five and every balatro modded poker hand with pair

[jade socket]

Im messing around with the sorce code and was wondering why this isnt working.

    j_test=         {order = 151, unlocked = true, discovered = true, blueprint_compat = true, perishable_compat = true, eternal_compat = true, rarity = 1, cost = 4, name = "Test", pos = {x=0,y=9}, set = "Joker",effect = 'Hand Size Mult', cost_mult = 1.0, config = {extra = {mult = 20, size = 3}}},

&

elseif self.ability.name == 'Test' then loc_vars = {self.ability.extra.mult, self.ability.extra.size}

if self.ability.name == 'Test' and #context.full_hand <= self.ability.extra.size then
                            return {
                                message = localize{type='variable',key='a_mult',vars={self.ability.extra.mult}},
                                mult_mod = self.ability.extra.mult
                            }
                        end

im just trying to get somthing to work so im copying the half jokers code

[daring fern]

local pokerhands = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    local hand = {}
    for kk, vv in pairs(v.example) do
        local fakecard = {get_id = function() return SMODS.Ranks[G.P_CARDS[vv[1]].value].id end}
        table.insert(hand, fakecard)
    end
    if next(get_X_same(2, hand, true)) then table.insert(pokerhands, k) end
end
for k, v in pairs(pokerhands) do
    SMODS.smart_level_up_hand(card, v)
end

[karmic arch]

I'll check later, since I don't have access to Balatro right now, but huge thanks!!

[oblique lotus]

Apologies for the ping. I found the line in the source code. While it would be easy enough to change the color of all the hands, I want to color a specific hand. Do you have any advice on how I could do that?

[daring fern]

Yes, handname is the key.

[oblique lotus]

Sorry, last question for tonight. Is there a way to tell if you are highlighting a specific Joker?

[spiral mural]

@daring fern can you help me with something

[daring fern]

You mean highlighting a specific card or highlighting a joker with a specific key?

[spiral mural]

for some reason my joker isn't triggering, can you see how (pasting code in soon)

[oblique lotus]

The later

[daring fern]

if G.jokers.highlighted[1].config.center.key == 'j_modprefix_key'?

[oblique lotus]

I think that will work. Thanks!

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[spiral mural]

the trigger should happen when the stored_ranks (a table with holes in it) matches withh hand_ranks(another table with holes within it)

the ranks are stored as their ids (or 1 if its rankless)

[oblique lotus]

Apologies, one more thing, how can I get it where it won't crash if I don't have something selected at that moment?

[daring fern]

if G.jokers.highlighted[1]

[oblique lotus]

Thanks

[daring fern]

Yes, but what does it do from the players perspective?

[spiral mural]

im starting to get a feeling that you aren't quite real, but

if card.ability.extra.hand_matches and not G.GAME.current_round.MDJ_construction_jokers_first_hand then
                card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = "Increased!", colour = G.C.mult, delay = 0.2})
                card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult+card.ability.extra.gain
            end```

[daring fern]

No, I mean what does the description say?

[spiral mural]

?

[daring fern]

The description of the joker that shows up when you hover over it.

[rocky plaza]

what would i need to hook (if anything) to check if the final score of played hand does not exceed blind requirements
like
after all other things have calculated when playing a hand
something that would check after context.final_scoring_step ideally

[spiral mural]

wwhen the video doesn't load

[daring fern]

not SMODS.last_hand_oneshot?

[spiral mural]

i should probably specify scored ranks

[rocky plaza]

that does the check, but i specifically need this check to be ran after context.final_scoring_step happens

so like a context that fires after context.final_scoring_step

[frosty rampart]

...context.after? or do you need this to apply score too

[daring fern]

Yes, it doesn't get changed to anything else until the next hand has finished scoring.

[obsidian spear]

how Do i remove a sprite

like delete it

x = nil?

[rocky plaza]

im probably overthinking this
I want to increase a certain stat im tracking if played hand does not one shot the blind
and I wanted to ensure that when i check for a one shot that nothing else that happens after can affect the score but that in hindsight it probably is impossible to make such a check

aight imma use context.after and not SMODS.last_hand_oneshot

[reef belfry]

how do you change the weight of a consumable set? is it just G.P_CENTERS and the key just the key to the respective consumable type?

[pale holly]

Does anyone know how to get the price of a booster pack you're currently are in ?

im gonna die

[quasi pike]

is there any way for a boss to look if the player has any specific joker?

I want a boss that has a ridiculous size unless you have an specific joker, then it would just be a blind without efects

[daring fern]

if next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key'))

[obsidian spear]

okay im gonna need some real good help here, my plan for a joker is to have it so you can pick it up and place it anywhere, what ever is underneath it will be added to a variable.
Ill make it a blueprint type joker btw

Plan: Clone the joker, and put it in no area (does mean position needs to be saved) and somehow make it update the variables of the main joker hide the original joker somehow

tl;dr: joker needs to duplicate and move anywhere, record jokers under it to be blueprinted

PLEASEE someone help

[quasi pike]

thx!!

[obsidian spear]

Sprite(-500, -500, 71, 95,  G.ASSET_ATLAS["Bitters_JokeJokersAtlas"], {x=0,y=0})

why does it not appear

[gilded blaze]

why are you putting -500

that would make the Sprite appear off-screen I believe

[golden field]

question: does the repetition variable also work on jokers

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#retrigger_joker

[golden field]

in which file do i add this

[red flower]

any

[golden field]

so it could be in jokers

i see

thanks

[obsidian spear]

Check for yourself, majority game engines need minus since to go down on a screen you need to go dow numbers, you start 0,0 / top left

I also tried reversing it anyway

[red flower]

500,500 would still be too large

game units are smaller

[gilded blaze]

actually you're dead wrong

sure, the origin is at top left, but the y axis points downwards

[winter flower]

ok so i may be stupid (and it's probably in the wiki) but how do i change the color of the background (so it's not white)

[red flower]

box_colours in loc_vars

[winter flower]

this is also usable with multi-boxes, right?

[red flower]

yes

[subtle storm]

Hello, i was wandering on how does it work to use files in different folders, like a lib folder, a joker folder etc....... cause i've tried but i keep having crashes

[rotund sable]

What crashes

Also are you loading the files correctly?

[pastel kernel]

fantasy usually destroys jokers, i plan to make a dreamy joker named saitama that prevents fantasy from destroying jokers, how do i do that?

[queen panther]

Good luck modding guys

[slim ferry]

check if you dont have that joker in the consumable code for the destroying part

[subtle storm]

TheShowMustContinue = {}

assert(SMODS.load_file("globals.lua"))()

-- Load Jokers
local joker_src = NFS.getDirectoryItems(SMODS.current_mod.path .. "jokers")
for _, file in ipairs(joker_src) do
    assert(SMODS.load_file("jokers/" .. file))()
end

--Load Library Files
local files = NFS.getDirectoryItems(SMODS.current_mod.path .. "lib")
for _, file in ipairs(joker_src) do
    assert(SMODS.load_file("lib/" .. file))()
end

[rocky plaza]

you are loading everything from joker_src twice

[pastel kernel]

ok so just write "if not SMODS.find_card" on top of the existing code?

[rocky plaza]

ctrl v moment

[rocky plaza]

you need
if not next(SMODS.find_card(...))

since SMODS.find_card at minimum returns an empty table which is not nil

[subtle storm]

thanks

[primal robin]

My best config UI so far

[subtle storm]

[pure jungle]

Hello, I'm new and looking for the Packer tool to create a .pak file. Can anyone help me find it?

[turbid maple]

what the hell are pak files

[slim ferry]

Its some zip-adjacent thing

Often used for game files apparently

From a quick google search

[tired kestrel]

I don't know if I got an answer yet but ho exactly does sticker positions work?

[turbid maple]

yeah but in the context of balatro?

[slim ferry]

Its just wherever you put them on the sprite

[pure jungle]

packer tool

[slim ferry]

Stickers are still 71x95 sprites

[frosty rampart]

what is your goal here

balatro modding doesn't use pak files anywhere

[slim ferry]

I mean

Making a zip and just renaming it to be a .pak just works apparently

So unless you need a pak file with a specific data structure just do that

[rocky plaza]

the print statements are not happening

[frosty rampart]

editions do not have add_to_deck or remove_from_deck

[rocky plaza]

ope

[frosty rampart]

on_apply and on_remove are probably what you're looking for

[rocky plaza]

goddamn it lsp

[rocky plaza]

will those be called when checking the edition outside a run

eg in collection

[frosty rampart]

not sure, but i assume so
you can always check G.STATE if you want it to not do something in the collection

[rocky plaza]

ok now im having a different problem

if the joker with the edition shows up in shop then it does its effect

basically the idea is to increase some passive stats while you own a joker with that edition

[frosty rampart]

ah shoot
hmm

[rocky plaza]

i could check and see if the card is in G.jokers and if so, apply the effects

but then id need to check for every instance of adding a joker

and so forth

[gilded blaze]

how to not comedy

[gusty compass]

how would i identify the type of card that an edition is on, aka if the card is a joker or consumeable, it will do something, if its a playing card, do something else?

[normal crest]

you can do if card.ability.set == "Joker" or if card.playing_card

[gusty compass]

cheers

[karmic arch]

I changed the code a little so that it doesn't give an error, but it just doesn't work now :(

        for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
                if not v.example then return nil end
                local hand = {}
                for kk, vv in pairs(v.example) do
                local fakecard = {get_id = function() return SMODS.Ranks[G.P_CARDS[vv[1]].value].card_key end}
                    table.insert(hand, fakecard)
                print(fakecard)
                end
            print(hand)
            if next(get_X_same(2, hand, true)) then table.insert(pokerhands, k) end
        end
        for k, v in pairs(pokerhands) do
                SMODS.smart_level_up_hand(card, k)
        end```

[daring fern]

No, it's SMODS.Ranks[G.P_CARDS[vv[1]].value].id not SMODS.Ranks[G.P_CARDS[vv[1]].value].card_key

[karmic arch]

just crash

[daring fern]

What is line 1228 in Mods/lovely/dump/SMODS/_/src/utils.lua?

[karmic arch]

update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.8, delay = 0.3}, {handname=localize(hand, 'poker_hands'),chips = G.GAME.hands[hand].chips, mult = G.GAME.hands[hand].mult, level=G.GAME.hands[hand].level})

[gilded blaze]

iirc table.insert inserts the element into the table as an array

[karmic arch]

wait maybe something wrong with for k, v in pairs(pokerhands) do
SMODS.smart_level_up_hand(card, k)
end because if i use print(v) its work

[gilded blaze]

yep
pokerhands should be something like {'Pair', 'Three Of A Kind', …} and not like {Pair = value1, ['Three Of A Kind'] = value2, …}

[daring fern]

Change k to v in SMODS.smart_level_up_hand

[karmic arch]

yes it work huge thanks

[obsidian spear]

still needing assistance

my plan is eventually to just make it a greyish brown dot, but it doesnt actually appear?

[daring fern]

You need to draw it.

[obsidian spear]

how so

[daring fern]

sprite:draw_shader('dissolve')

[obsidian spear]

iight

so what would be to happen if i have thousands possibly ten thousand of these dots

how could I save the players pc

[oblique lotus]

Question: Does anyone know where the Planet card's softlock check (as in if a Planet card should appear if you played it's hand or not) is located? I want to hook into it, but can't find it.

Hey, how do you make a consumable enhance a card to an enhancement?

[normal crest]

functions/common_events.lua in the get_current_pool function

[oblique lotus]

Thanks!

[oblique lotus]

Check out vanilla remads's version of the tarot cards. Should give a good idea based on what you are trying to do.

[karmic arch]

I'm too bad at balatro modding, why doesn't it work with flush :(

[agile gazelle]

ok, thanks

[obsidian spear]

why does this happen to my blind

SMODS.Blind {
    key = "wordblind",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "nameblind wip",
        text = {"Each hand play a word game", "Losing adds +1X base     mult"}
    },
    mult = 2,
}```

the wiki diesnt say I have to add anything but kye and loc_txt

[spiral mural]

how do i add steammodded's lsp to vscode (i have the lua extention installed)

[frosty rampart]

vanillaremade wiki explains it

[brazen kite]

is there a way to hide these extra suits from the deck viewer

(i have made a copy of all 4 suits)

(and i want to hide the originals)

[slim ferry]

probably, i think theres a lot of mods that add suits which have them hidden from the deck view at first

[slim ferry]

so the vanilla ones could probably also be hidden in a similar way

[brazen kite]

Hmmm

[slim ferry]

paperback or bunco are probably worth looking at at least

[daring fern]

in_pool = function(self, args) return not args.initial_deck end

[brazen kite]

oh cool

[sharp arch]

hey so uhh my Check_for_unlocks belonging to achievemnts arent working, any help with that

[karmic arch]

I don't know how to make for flush, but it seems to be working

[red flower]

yeah the wiki is missing that the boss colour is required

[obsidian spear]

great

[oblique lotus]

Trying to change the planet softlock check to use visibility rather than hands played. I don't know why this isn't working as a patch. I get a nil value error. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[patches.pattern]
target = 'functions/common_events.lua'
pattern = '''if (not v.config.softlock or G.GAME.hands[v.config.hand_type].played > 0) then'''
position = "at"

match_indent = true
overide = true```

[daring fern]

Log?

[red flower]

can i see the code for 0chill_house_rules_planet

[oblique lotus]

I can do that. Is it fine if I DM it to you?

[red flower]

i would prefer it here

at least the config

[red flower]

hand type has to be a string

not a table

[oblique lotus]

That would explain it. Will try

I think that worked. Thank you.

[lament agate]

how would i grab player's interests

[spiral mural]

force them to play

[lament agate]

thanks soulware

[tepid eagle]

yuri

[red flower]

G.GAME.interest_amount i think

[lament agate]

ill try

[final jewel]

is there somewhere I can find some usefull thing for making animation

like the wiki of steamodded doesnt really help me

[lament agate]

wait no wrong one

how would i get the total of the cashout

[red flower]

dunno, its not a variable i dont think

[lament agate]

fucked up

thaks

[red flower]

what animation

[final jewel]

I mean my event when vard are upgraded are feeling weird since its a new mechanic

[red flower]

i dont know what any of that means

[lament agate]

function SMODS.calculate_individual_effect(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)
  if G.jokers and next(SMODS.find_card("j_bd_damocles")) and (key == "mult" or key == "mult_mod" or key == "h_mult") then
    if key == "mult_mod" then effect.message = nil end
    return ref(effect, scored_card, "xmult", amount, from_edition)
  else
    return ref(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)
  end
end

is there a reason why this doesnt work anymore

nevermind

[final jewel]

Ill try to explain it the right way, and understandable. So in my mod enhancement can be upgraded with a certain consumable so rn its a juice up flip event and its feels weird to have a vanilla animation for this mechanic. So im trying to make a new animation can replace that but everything I find in the wiki of smod isnt what I want to have as the animation . So Im trying to find documentation about advance event, animation or something like that

[red flower]

oh there isn't

there's no much you can document, animations are just moving cards around with different timings

[queen panther]

Ask them what’s their interests

[final jewel]

Oh thats sad

[solid salmon]

hey guys

how do i make a card give no score when played

(asking for enhancement purposes)

[lament agate]

thanks heaven

[oblique lotus]

How can I prevent a card from being sold at a given moment? I tried card:set_eternal, but I think that only works for Jokers.

[red flower]

hook Card:can_sell_card

[oblique lotus]

Gotcha

[paper trout]

bump 2

[red flower]

the latter

[paper trout]

ok

[oblique lotus]

I am trying to define a global table. How would I do that? I know I need G.GAME.[variable_name], but I don't know if it needs to be through a hook or something. Any guidance or good examples would be greatly apperciated.

[red flower]

it has to be during the run, where depends on what you want to do

but you can basically do it anywhere

[oblique lotus]

Gotcha. So, just hook into the function that is the best fit for it and place it there?

[red flower]

that's too vague for me to give a definitive yes but basically

[spiral mural]

how do i get a joker to the left of another joker + how do i debuff/rebuff a joker

[daring fern]

local left_joker
for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    if k > 1 and v == card then left_joker = G.jokers.cards[k-1] end
end
``` And `SMODS.debuff_card`

[urban wasp]

are these both correct or is one wrong?

local enhancement_pool = {}
for _, enhancement in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Enhanced) do
    if not enhancement.overrides_base_rank then
        enhancement_pool[#enhancement_pool + 1] = enhancement
    end
end

local cen_pool = {}
for _, enhancement_center in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS["Enhanced"]) do
    if not enhancement_center.overrides_base_rank then
        cen_pool[#cen_pool + 1] = enhancement_center
    end
end

[daring fern]

Yes, they do the same thing.

[urban wasp]

okie thank you

[versed swan]

cen_pool == enhancement_pool and enhancement == enhancement_center

[daring fern]

No, cen_pool and enhancement_pool are different tables.

[versed swan]

I mean like functionally/on paper

[karmic arch]

Can something advise me I'm doing the right thing or not?? (Is_suit as I remember, it return self.base.suit == suit)

[spiral mural]

???
also code

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "eyesjoker",
    atlas = 'awesomejokers',
    pos = { x = 4, y = 0 },

        text = {
            "Debuff the Joker to the left of this joker.",
        }
    },
    pronouns = 'he_him',
    blueprint_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    cost = 8,
    config = {},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = {} }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if card.area and card.area == G.jokers then
            card.set_debuff(true)
            local left_joker
            for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                if k > 1 and v == card then left_joker = G.jokers.cards[k-1] end
                if left_joker then
                    SMODS.debuff_card(left_joker)
                end
            end
        end
    end
}```

[daring fern]

You need to add self as the first input of is_suit

[feral tree]

is there a context for when you're selecting cards?

[daring fern]

No, hook Card:highlight

[feral tree]

not when you've selected a card specifically, i meant before you've played a hand

[daring fern]

context.press_play?

[oblique lotus]

I am trying to set up a table as a global variable. I tried to put it in Card.add_to_deck with a hook as I thought that would likely be called, but my card couldn't find it. What am I missing?

function Card:add_to_deck(from_debuff)
    G.GAME.the_table = {}
end```

[feral tree]

is it possible to put an G.E_MANAGER:add_event in a G.E_MANAGER:add_event?

[urban wasp]

yes very much so

[daring fern]

You are overriding Card:add_to_deck not hooking it.

[oblique lotus]

Ok

[spiral mural]

what's going wrong here

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if card.area and card.area == G.jokers and context.cardarea then
            local left_joker
            for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                if k > 1 and v == card then left_joker = G.jokers.cards[k-1] end
            end
            if left_joker then
                SMODS:debuff_card(left_joker)
            end
        end```

[azure ember]

how do i make a custom deck i cant find code for them in vremade

[daring fern]

It's SMODS.debuff_card not SMODS:debuff_card

[daring fern]

SMODS.debuff_card(left_joker, true, self.key)

[spiral mural]

also how do i buff the card it it was debuffed by the joker specifically

[oblique lotus]

Apologies, but is there a clean example of how to save a variable to G.GAME?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.modprefix_variable = value

[oblique lotus]

And you can place this anywhere, or does it need to be in a hook or something similar to get it somewhere specific? Does it also change anything if we are trying to store a table?

Thanks btw

[daring fern]

No, G.GAME has to exist, also you can't store cards or functions.

[oblique lotus]

Do you have any good example mods you can point me too? Would be beyond appreciative if you could. It is still not fully clicking for me.

[crystal perch]

i'm using the draw_card function to move a card from play back to your hand after scoring finishes, but the card always returns face down, any idea how to fix this?

i'm pretty sure this is because draw_card automatically flips the card as part of its function, and setting stay_flipped to true/false doesn't change anything. i also tried adding card:flip() after the draw_card function but that occurs too early to change anything

[daring fern]

You mean you want a card to move back to your hand instead of the deck?

[spiral mural]

how do i check if a card is debuffed

[daring fern]

if card.debuff

[crystal perch]

the code works (pasted below) it just returns to hand fliped which i don't want

if context.after and context.cardarea == G.play then
    draw_card(G.play, G.hand, 90, 'up', nil, nil, nil, nil, true)
end

changing stay_flipped from true to false doesn't change anything

[daring fern]

No, I was asking if you want the played cards to return to the hand instead of the deck.

[crystal perch]

yes, which they do

[daring fern]

No, they don't, they return to the hand and the deck.

[crystal perch]

i can literally show you a clip of it working how i want if you need
basically i have a seal which i apply to playing cards which makes them return to hand after being played

[daring fern]

You mean like old gold seal?

[crystal perch]

old blue yeah

[daring fern]

No, it's old gold seal and old blue seal.

[crystal perch]

regardless, here's a clip showing what's happening

[daring fern]

[crystal perch]

this works to keep the card face up, but introduces a strange bug where there's a gap in the hand, almost like an invisible card

[spiral mural]

evil unselectable invisiible card that can only be seen if you pour flour on it

[gilded blaze]

actually

it's a card reference

to a card that already existed elsewhere

[crystal perch]

i think the current code for the black seal is maybe compounding with the lovely patch

i'll just remove it and see what happens

[gilded blaze]

assumably

it should work once the code on the seal side is removed I believe

[crystal perch]

yeah

works perfectly now

uh oh

playing a winning hand with black sealed cards leaves the unsealed cards behind

[gilded blaze]

so, it worked, but it did not consider end-of-round thingy

oh

[crystal perch]

i'll see if just adding a not end of round condition will fix it

[gilded blaze]

I think a returning-to-hand API (akin to old gold seal) for smods would be nice to have

[crystal perch]

there's a g.func for it in the game so 🤷‍♀️

[gilded blaze]

by that I mean integrating it into calculation pipeline where you can simply return {return_to_hand = true}

[crystal perch]

true

[crystal perch]

i fixed it

smallest thing

[crystal perch]

if (not v.shattered) and (not v.destroyed) and not v:get_seal() == 'modprefix_key' then should be if (not v.shattered) and (not v.destroyed) and v:get_seal() ~= 'modprefix_key' then instead, that fixed the problem

how do i make it pick from a certain pool? (food jokers)

[wind steppe]

do you have food joker pool defined?

if so set = "Food"

if not go like. steal definition code from somewhere else

and then set = "Food"

[vale grove]

where do i steal from?

[wind steppe]

personally i stole from cardsauce

        spr:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, G, 0, 0, -500, -500)

Why does it still not appear, and instead give error with VT

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to draw it every frame.

[obsidian spear]

it is?

its in update

[daring fern]

You should not be creating a sprite every frame.

[obsidian spear]

ah

so save it to a table since Ill want multiple, then draw it?

why does ti crash tho

with VT?

[daring fern]

Why are you inputting G as other_obj?

[obsidian spear]

i want it to be global?

i dunno much about sprite and ui

would it be G.ROOM_ATTACH ??

[daring fern]

No, change it to nil

[obsidian spear]

ight

tyy

its still not appearing...

c = card, yes I do want a new one every update

        table.insert(c.ability.extra.tbl,Sprite(0, 0, 71, 95,  G.ASSET_ATLAS["Bitters_JokeJokersAtlas"], {x=0,y=0}))

        for _, spr in pairs(c.ability.extra.tbl) do
            spr:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, nil, 0, 0, -500, -500)
        end

[daring fern]

No, you can't put sprites in cards where it would be saved.

[obsidian spear]

where do i put it

, is there anything else I could get wrong?

also still not happening, just lagging like it should ig

        if not G.GAME.DIRT then G.GAME.DIRT = {tbl = {}} end
        table.insert(G.GAME.DIRT.tbl,Sprite(0, 0, 71, 95,  G.ASSET_ATLAS["Bitters_JokeJokersAtlas"], {x=0,y=0}))

        for _, spr in pairs(G.GAME.DIRT.tbl) do
            spr:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, nil, 0, 0, -500, -500)
        end

[daring fern]

No, you can't put sprites in G.GAME either.

[obsidian spear]

in G.GAME.DIRT.tbl

do I just set a local variable then?

i dont even need to ask

[daring fern]

If you want it to be global you would put it in G

[obsidian spear]

still not appearing

        if not G.btr_dust then G.btr_dust = {} end
        table.insert(G.btr_dust, Sprite(0, 0, 71, 95,  G.ASSET_ATLAS["Bitters_JokeJokersAtlas"], {x=0,y=0}))

        for _, spr in pairs(G.btr_dust) do
            spr:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, nil, 0, 0, -500, -500)
        end

deleting the joker also removes it so

[daring fern]

Remove everything after 'dissolve'

[obsidian spear]

whaterervsatr iog

there isnt anything?

you mean calculate?

OH

okay

but I need to offset it?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa is it just offscreen or doesnt appear

    update = function(_,c)
        if not G.btr_dust then G.btr_dust = {} end
        table.insert(G.btr_dust, Sprite(0, 0, 71, 95,  G.ASSET_ATLAS["Bitters_JokeJokersAtlas"], {x=0,y=0}))

        for _, spr in pairs(G.btr_dust) do
            spr:draw_shader('dissolve')
        end
    end,

[daring fern]

No, you put that in the Sprite call.

[obsidian spear]

but still would appear on screen, would reach to 71,95

since its drawing topleft to bottomright

[obsidian spear]

anyone wanna explain how to show a sprite to me?

[lament agate]

@daring fern sorry for bothering you but do you know which function thats responsible for the cash-out?

[north moat]

How can I create a mod that modifies Vanilla values and where/in what app should I start?

[hushed field]

can you be a bit more specific in what you wanna do?

[north moat]

I want to modify the chance based jokers/taro cards to be a better chance

like a 1in4 to a 1in2, a 1in2 to 2in3 etc

[hushed field]

So there's different ways to do that, depending on what you're hoping to do. Do you just want to permanently change the odds for those cards? In that case, you can use take ownership to change them

[north moat]

Permanently, yes

[hushed field]

In that case, you'll want to use take ownership! I'll grab the documentation for how that functionality works!

[vale grove]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = { card.ability.extra.creates, card.ability.extra.rounds },
            key = card.ability.extra.from_brammeke == true and self.key .. "_alt" or self.key
        }
    end

i have a card.ability.extra.from)brammeke set to true but the_alt text doesnt appear how do i make it appear?

[hushed field]

you don't want to edit the key in the return!

[vale grove]

i have tried it with other checks and the text does appear it just for some reason doesnt with this loc_vars

[hushed field]

oops, no wait, ignore me, I'm speaking with too much confidence

you do want to do that

[vale grove]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        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("j_YA_matthsilly")) and self.key .. "_alt" or self.key
        }
    end

but this one works

[hushed field]

Yeah, entirely my bad, haha

[vale grove]

nwnw

[hushed field]

So it never uses the alt key there, right? I'd just add some print statements and test before returning it to see if it's actually getting the right value from card.ability.extra.from_brammeke == true

[vale grove]

well in the joker itself i use that key

in short its a joker that summons a food joker at the end of an ante and i have a check that destroys itself if its from brammeke after a period of time

and all of it works functionally i just cant get the text to display the rounds left

[hushed field]

The documentation for Taking ownership

This should get you started. It just allows you to treat existing objects like they're smods objects, and change any of their fields. In this case, you'll wanna check how the odds are stored for each card, and just change them through taking ownership of the config

[hushed field]

Oh, I assume so yeah, but if it's not displaying the alt text, while you're using syntax that worked in another instance, the error's probably in the step before that. But you're using and alt description to display rounds left? Is that because you're changing the whole description for the final round?

[north moat]

thank you!

[vale grove]

uh

no normally it doesnt destroy itself

but the destroy itself thingy only happens when its from_brammeke

which works functionally

[hushed field]

Ooooh, I'm seeing now, sorry. I'd blame having just woken up for me misreading but I've been awake for like half the day already, haha

[vale grove]

LOL

real

[hushed field]

Still, I'd check with a print statement earlier on, just as a sanity check. Because if it does print the key als the key + _alt, you know it's an issue in the localization, rather than with your syntax

[vale grove]

you mentioned that earlier

how do you print smth lol

ive been using vs code for the past 2 months for this and i still dont know how to view a print

im like that ratatoile critic guy
"I dont use print lines I boot up the game and if it doesnt work i restart the game"

[hushed field]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        print(card.ability.extra.from_brammeke == true and self.key .. "_alt" or self.key)
        return {
            vars = { card.ability.extra.creates, card.ability.extra.rounds },
            key = card.ability.extra.from_brammeke == true and self.key .. "_alt" or self.key
        }
    end

should work in this case. I use print debugging a lot, and it's rarely the most effective way, but it's a good way to just check the state of your code quickly.

Are you using DebugPlus as a mod?

It has a console that will show print statements

But you'll also see them appear in the cmd!

[vale grove]

ahhh

i see i see

[hushed field]

with debugplus it'll print them in a console in game that you can toggle with '/'

[vale grove]

im gonna do some more testing on me own

ill be back

guys i need to put a gradient colour on a rarity badge

it won't work it just shows up white

i frogot about it for a while

no one could figure it out last time

and i still dont get it

[slim ferry]

show rarity definition

White means there isnt a colour defined at all usually

[stiff locust]

gifs are still blocked i just

I think I figured out why

there's no rarity definition

where did it go?????

ok

nevermind

i found it

i was searching by the wrong thing

the button that does the symbol for code block is broken on my keyboard

SMODS.Rarity {
key = "tsun_gold_legendary",
default_weight = 0,
badge_colour = SMODS.Gradients.tsun_tsun_gradient_gold,
pools = { ["Joker"] = false },
get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
return weight
end,
}

ive tried it both with and without the extra mod prefix

[slim ferry]

And whats the SMODS.Gradient look like

[stiff locust]

wwait is it because I typed smods.gradients plural

[slim ferry]

No

[stiff locust]

and not smods.gradient singular

oh

[slim ferry]

Is the gradient being loaded

[stiff locust]

it works in the names and descriptions of jokers

i know i probably shouldn't be doing that but

it does work there

just not on rarity badges

[slim ferry]

Oh

Well fuck then idk

[stiff locust]

gifs are still blocked i wanted to post another one

[red flower]

what does it do

does it stay white

[stiff locust]

yeah

on rarity badges only

[red flower]

and you're sure the rarity is loaded after the gradient?

[stiff locust]

the rarity is in my end of code.lua which is specifically loaded after everything else

so yes i am rather confident it is being loaded last

it's

it's working.

don't know why it's working

don't care how i fixed it

im gonna not touch it now so it stays working

[umbral spire]

is it possible to add another language in the main menu langauge selection?

[stiff locust]

it's possible but i don't know how

[hushed field]

I'm creating these card objects fully to just exist as placeholder images in the collection. I've set them up to use the key of an existing card object (so jokers, tarots, planets, etc.) so it'll use the sprite for that. Is there an easy way to just have it so a card uses the sprite info from another card?

[red flower]

there's an smods api for that iirc

[umbral spire]

oh?

[stiff locust]

iirc if you change the card's center to another card its sprite and description changes but not its effect

i made that mistake once

[umbral spire]

Smods.Language?

[hushed field]

Yeah, the description I wanna keep 😛 I'm trying to just change the sprite, haha. I've got some weird workarounds for it now that seem to create some issues I can definitely resolve by understanding my code better, but I'm not sure that the way I'm going about it is the most efficient way, as I'm trying to do things when the object gets registered, or when its sprite is set

[red flower]

this is how i change the sprite for tokens. idk if there's a better way
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/0a5c0f6951f7f3073acb7f06ee1fafed950eef16/src/jokers/99_99Token.lua#L35

[umbral spire]

do any of yall know the dimensions of a character in, say, m6x11?

nvm found it on the github page lmao

[hushed field]

I think I can use that almost fully. Just need to figure out where I'm going wrong with grabbing the atlas from vanilla objects, haha

[sharp arch]

read #4

wrong channel shit

[umbral spire]

😭

[sharp arch]

😭 💀

[stiff locust]

wrong channel messages are hilarious

[umbral spire]

i am so confused on how to use SMODS.Language.

prolly bc idek how to make a font

;-;

[sharp arch]

oh for fonts you can just use SMODS.Font
there a re a whole bunch of parameters but idek what they do, its nt documented

Its about the same as an atlas; you give it a key and specify the path

fonts should be stored in assets/fonts

for any more info go ask ayokori

[umbral spire]

how will i use the characters.

[umbral spire]

like. I can't really type them in

it's not really a real language.

[sharp arch]

well, I mean you could theoretically actually make teh font using software, so that the symbols map to their letters

or what would be their letters

[umbral spire]

well I was gonna make a toki pona option for fun

[umbral spire]

so

[sharp arch]

I think the noto symbols font has some of those

not all of them, but A lot

As far as I'm concerned, you can type them as unicode in your code editor right

[umbral spire]

I think?

I use VSCode

[sharp arch]

if yyou can type them in unicode, then all you need is a font that supports the symbols

Its how I put ascii art in a tooltip

[umbral spire]

dont i need this to be in .ttf? How would I do that.

[sharp arch]

i guess you coud find a ttf with tose

but thatd take forever

oh and if you're just making a specific part of text have a different font (not in a language), use {f:modprefix_key} in your localization files

[umbral spire]

😭

[sharp arch]

you woldnt believe me if I said It took 1 hour to find the font used in a gundam show so yeah you might be cooked😭

[umbral spire]

😭🙏 🙏

oh nvm

i found a .otf of linja pona

heh.

[sharp arch]

if your using a .otf, make sure to specify that its a .otf in SMODS.Font

if data doesnt match itll crash

[hushed field]

got it working ❤️

[umbral spire]

ok this is not worth it. nvm 😭

[sharp arch]

oh no its not that bad

[umbral spire]

i figured out the otf

[sharp arch]

    key = "fire",
    path = "SupporterpersonaluseRegular-EazBz.otf"
}``` see

[umbral spire]

isn't actually sitelen pona

the sitelen pona glyphs, are just a bunch of .glif files

tf do i do with those.

[umbral spire]

(it's linja pona)

[sharp arch]

OOOHHHH

[umbral spire]

huh

[sharp arch]

i think you gotta put the .glifs in a font maker software, and then export as ttf/otf

[umbral spire]

like fontforge?

[sharp arch]

yeah like that

[umbral spire]

uh i got a .sfd ;-;

[sharp arch]

yeah this shits whack asf vro

at this point even im lost

like what uses a .sfd????

[umbral spire]

FontForge, apparently.

[sharp arch]

well uhhh

i dont think converting filetype will help at all

so.. maybe see if there are export options

[umbral spire]

i clicked generate fonts... but it wont generate shit

and these are all grayed out

(outline font selection)

[sharp arch]

hmmm

[umbral spire]

man this is not worth it .

for a toki pona translation?? 😭

[sharp arch]

yeah, Im not one to tell people to give up, but maybe you should
you shouldnt be bashing your head into a wall for a font

[umbral spire]

real

[sharp arch]

that and ive only ever used fontforge once, so im not of much help

[balmy spire]

whats the base soul chance

[slim ferry]

0.3%

(soul_rate of 0.003)

[sharp arch]

hey can someone help me
i wanna find if there are all 5 of a specific set of joker, and if there are, destroy it and make the full joker

[stoic void]

what on earth am I doing

[red flower]

if next(SMODS.find_card("j_midprefix_key")) and ... then with 5 smods find card

oh im guessing it's 5 specific jokers from the wording but if it's objecttypes then it's different

[umbral spire]

midprefix 🔥

[queen panther]

Np man happy to help

[stoic void]

i dont know what im doing

[red flower]

where is index

[stoic void]

?

[red flower]

you have index there, where did you define it?

(i know the answer is you didn't but I'm pointing it out)

[stoic void]

This is the code

for consumable.lua

[red flower]

yeah that's the same code.

[stoic void]

its a bit more at the top, thats all

[red flower]

Ok, I'm gonna be more clear. Why are you using index there?

[stoic void]

oh right, i have no idea

[red flower]

What you need to do is to get the specific joker that is highlighted.

You have G.jokers.highlighted which is a table of the highlighted jokers (We know it's a table because you can use the length operator #). And you also know that the length is 1 so only one joker is highlighted. Therefore you actually want G.jokers.highlighted at index 1

[stoic void]

right ok

thx a lot

[midnight sluice]

how does one check if someone clicked the discard button?

[karmic arch]

it didnt work :////// bad code////

[daring fern]

is_suit = function(self, suit) return G.P_CARDS[vv[1]].suit == suit end

[quasi pike]

When I try to run the game it crashes and says that it is not a music track

What's wrong?

[daring fern]

You need music in the key.

[quasi pike]

ohhh

thx

[tepid eagle]

just like in real life, if the music is not in key, it'll be bad

[quasi pike]

sooo

music not being in key wasn't the only problem

[north moat]

[ultra beginner here]
I am currently working on a function

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('joker', -- object key (class prefix not required)
{ -- table of properties to change from the existing object
mult = 10
},
true -- silent | suppresses mod badge
)

would that work? it does not display +10, but I think that display and function are different things

[daring fern]

config = {mult = 10}

[north moat]

why does cavendish has
config = { extra = { Xmult = 3, odds = 1000 } }
extra in it?

[slim ferry]

if youre looking at vanilla its because thunk felt like it

[karmic arch]

huh I was sure I checked it and it wasn't working, but now it's working, but thank. I'll add you to the mod's description for help

[slim ferry]

thunk just kinda randomly switches between using/not using an extra table in vanilla

[north moat]

i was looking at ModdedVanilla example mod

[slim ferry]

ah

well extra is generally best practice for modded jokers

also you should look at vanillaremade instead :P https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/VanillaRemade.lua

[north moat]

how does it matter?

[quasi pike]

how can I solve this?

[slim ferry]

card.ability is often used for adding variables by outside sources

so putting stuff in extra prevents stuff getting overridden

[red flower]

path is probably wrong

[slim ferry]

oh also stuff thats in card.ability doesnt get reset by default when the card is changed into another one

only happens for specific value keys

[north moat]

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('joker',
{
config = { extra = {mult = 10} }
},
true
)

how so?

[slim ferry]

vanilla joker does not put it in extra

so when modifying it it should stay in the same place

[north moat]

ah

i see

but it somehow worked for bloodstone

partly...

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('bloodstone',
{
config = { extra = {odds = 10} }
},
true
)

[slim ferry]

changing config replaces the full config table, so you'd need to put in the old mult value as well

also bloodstone if the description was accurate 🔥

[north moat]

the question is, why did extra work for bloodstone(changed odds from 2 to 10), but didnt for joker(both are vanilla)

[slim ferry]

because thunk decided to put the odds in extra for bloodstone

but didnt put the mult in extra for jimbo

[north moat]

oh

[slim ferry]

code moment

[quasi pike]

it finally works thx!!

[north moat]

???

[slim ferry]

vanillaremade isnt a 1:1 recreation, its meant as a reference and therefore highlights best practices

[north moat]

ohh

[slim ferry]

if you want to see the vanilla configs you should open up the balatro exe with 7zip or winrar

[north moat]

so its case dependant

i see

[slim ferry]

and look them up in there

[north moat]

can i somehow change odds from 1 in X to X in Y?

1 in 2
to
2 in 3

[slim ferry]

you could but the 1 of the chance isnt stored in a value for vanilla cards, so you would have to add an additional value and override the card calculate and loc_vars to use said value in the chance

[north moat]

cannycat~1

[slim ferry]

fair

[daring fern]

You could also use context.mod_probability

[north moat]

you lost me at "isnt stored in a value"

[slim ferry]

also true

[north moat]

how do you write fancy btw

[slim ferry]

put backticks `

around the text

[north moat]

calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.mod_probability and not context.blueprint then return { numerator = context.numerator * 2 } end end,

like this one in oops all 6s?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[slim ferry]

you can also surround it in triple backticks if youre uisng multiple lines so it becomes a code block

[tepid eagle]

go go gadget long box

[slim ferry]

like this

(you can specify coding language after the first set of backticks

[quasi pike]

I'm trying to make a boss that has a bigger score if you don't have the joker needed, but instead it gives me 10 mult when starting the run

[slim ferry]

because

returning mult is for adding mult to score

[quasi pike]

ohh

[slim ferry]

you should also use set_blind instead of calculate

and then multiply G.GAME.blind.chips

[quasi pike]

oh, ok

ok

lemme try

[slim ferry]

and also do G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips) so the text updates

and then G.HUD_blind:recalculate()

[quasi pike]

how wold I do the part inside the 'if' statement? Everytime I try to write G.GAME.blind.chips inside it, it gives me an error

no problem, I think I understand it now

[daring fern]

It's G.GAME.blind.chips not G.GAME.blind.chip

[quasi pike]

I just had a crah and was wondering why

thanks!!

[north moat]

one day i will find the lines

[daring fern]

No, use the mod calculate

[north moat]

?

[red flower]

what do you want to do, just increase the odds without conditions?

[north moat]

yes

from 1 in 2 to 2 in 3

"in 3" is easy

[red flower]

you can just copy the calculate in vanillaremade and change the numbers

like you did the config

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context) if context.mod_probability and context.trigger_obj.config and context.trigger_obj.config.center and context.trigger_obj.config.center.key == 'j_bloodstone' then return {numerator = context.numerator*2, denominator = context.denominator*1.5} end end

[quasi pike]

I'm trying to make a joker that scales when you play high card depending on the suit of the card, but it doesnt work at all

What did I do wrong?

[north moat]

i do it with take_ownership

[red flower]

local variables reset every time the function is called

you don't need that logic tho, you can just check if it's a high card in context.individual

[spiral mural]

how would i make a suit count as all suits but itself

[quasi pike]

Thanks!! Now it works

[daring fern]

local oldcardissuit = Card.is_suit
function Card:is_suit(suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
    local g = oldcardissuit(self, suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
    if self.base.suit == 'modprefix_key' then return self.base.suit ~= suit end
    return g
end

[spiral mural]

millions must hook

[quasi pike]

but I'm getting nil on its text, and I just dont understand how the #number# works

[spiral mural]

what what on earth is modprefix_key

what i am supposed to replace there

[daring fern]

yourmodprefix_suitkey

[quasi pike]

your mod should have a prefix

[spiral mural]

i know that

[spiral mural]

oh wait i meant like

for a joker

[quasi pike]

and key is the joker key

[daring fern]

You mean you want all suits to count as every suit except itself?

[spiral mural]

A specific suit (not modded)

[daring fern]

Then you wouldn't put the mod prefix and it would just be the key.

[spiral mural]

are the suit keys just the suit's name?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[final jewel]

calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
    local cash = card.ability.extra.cash
    card.ability.extra.cash = 0
    return cash
end

is it possible for that to happen only when the boss blind is defeated

[slim ferry]

wrapping that inside of a if G.GAME.blind.boss then should work i think

[solid mesa]

@queen panther ohhhh youre not the same heaven that i know

sorry

[queen panther]

It’s okay

[final jewel]

oh yeah I'll try

it work thx

[oblique lotus]

Where is context.press_play defined?

[daring fern]

src/overrides.lua

[oblique lotus]

Thanks

Apperciate it!

[loud summit]

how do you add loc_vars to a custom consumable type

[red flower]

what do you mean

[loud summit]

loc_vars

for a moddewd consumable type

[red flower]

do... you think im dumb?

[loud summit]

what else could i mean

[red flower]

consumable types don't have descriptions??

[loud summit]

for an ITEM in that consumable type

god

and also the box thats under it where it displays the consumable type

[red flower]

well, that's why I asked because they are the exact same as any other consumable or joker

[loud summit]

so how do i reference it

[slim ferry]

what

[loud summit]

in the loc file

where do i put it

[slim ferry]

the same?

[red flower]

eris thank god youre here

[loud summit]

no like theres a Tarot section for tarots

[slim ferry]

thats not loc_vars 😭

[loud summit]

and a Planets section for planets

[slim ferry]

its just the key of the consumable type

[loud summit]

where do i put minr

[slim ferry]

for the descriptions

[loud summit]

which is what

[red flower]

you can reference vanillaremade for that, look up vremade_Tarot

[slim ferry]

you tell me

its not my consumable type

[loud summit]

like whats the template

is it just modpfx_key or

[slim ferry]

just copy paste what you put into the consumable type definition

prefixes do not get added

[loud summit]

ok

whatt about the consumable type thats displayed underneath

[red flower]

^

[slim ferry]

N can you please drop the XY problem link

it feels relevant here

and i dont have the link

[red flower]

https://xyproblem.info/

[slim ferry]

thanks

[loud summit]

when trying to set the labels field im just getting "attempted to index local center (a string value)"??

[slim ferry]

thats probably an entirely different issue then

unless youre doing something really wierd somehow though i doubt that

[loud summit]

its still showing as error

[slim ferry]

wdym still

i didnt even say a solution yet

whats the full crash log

[loud summit]

oh uh i figuyred it out

[slim ferry]

oh

ok

[loud summit]

do i need to put it in dictionary??

[red flower]

yes

[loud summit]

then whats labels used for

[slim ferry]

for labels

[red flower]

i dont recall

[slim ferry]

under the card

the thing that displays under the card description goes in labels, the collection name goes in dictionary

[brave blade]

I want to make a custom Pin object type that gets applied to your run at the start. They would work kind of similarly to Vouchers in that they're a permanent run modifier that has its own CardArea. How do I go about implementing a custom object type like that? (If there's some guide on how to do it that I missed, that would be super helpful.)

[mossy quest]

looking at updating my jokers, is if context.joker_main then the new if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.final_scoring_step then

[slim ferry]

the latter is completely different from the former

[brave blade]

I think it makes the most sense to have it be a card object internally even if pins aren't technically "cards"

[slim ferry]

also context.joker_main is vanilla

that has been the standard for like always

for generic trigger jokers

e.g. jimbo

[mossy quest]

why did I do this this way

[slim ferry]

😭

[loud summit]

its STILLL not working

[slim ferry]

is labels inside of a misc table
