SMODS.calculate_effect({message = 'message'}, card)

[white hull]

ah wonderful, thank you

[weary merlin]

this is probably a stupid question with some less elegant ways to implement it,
but what would be a concise way to check if the player's joker slots contain at least 1 instance of a joker with a certain key

[daring fern]

next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key'))

[dapper sun]

how do i get if a card is debuffed?

[daring fern]

if card.debuff

[dapper sun]

ty

how do i make something happen before all joker calculates? also, would a hook or patch be more fitting

i wanna add a juice_card_until thingy to my mechanic but i don't wanna add it manually into each joker i use said mechanic with

(my upgrade mechanic thing)

wait

ik a mod i could reference that's done something like this

nvmd i just looked at that code and that doesn't help

[dapper sun]

actually after would work more

okay i think it's eval_card

[stoic void]

No way another british person

[dapper sun]

what am i doing wrong 😭

local ec_ref = eval_card
function eval_card(card, context)
    local ec = ec_ref(card, context)
    return ec
end```

[dapper sun]

yeah 😔

[stoic void]

I love how thats the instant reaction

[daring fern]

local oldevalcard = eval_card
function eval_card(card, context)
    local g, post = oldevalcard(card, context)
    return g, post
end

[dapper sun]

ty

[white hull]

so i did this to make a certain joker always spawn as negative, but it also does it in the collection. how do i make it not do that in the collection?

set_ability = function(self, card, initial, delay_sprites)
    card:set_edition("e_negative", true)
end,

[normal crest]

if card.area and not card.area.config.collection then

Actually that might not work if set_ability is called before the card is placed in an area

[white hull]

that seems to break it

doesn't become negative at all

[normal crest]

Break it in what way

Okay yeah, try making it in an event

[dapper sun]

okay, now it's making the card shake a not-so-normal amount

local oldevalcard = eval_card
function eval_card(card, context)
    local g, post = oldevalcard(card, context)
    
    if (card.config.center.slime_upgrade and card.config.center.slime_upgrade:can_use(card)) then
        juice_card_until(card, function() return not G.RESET_JIGGLES end, true)
    end
    
    return g, post
end```

[normal crest]

That happens when juice_card_until is called multiple times

[daring fern]

Yes, you're calling juice_card_until for every time the card is calculated for any context.

[dapper sun]

how should i correctly handle this then

[normal crest]

Pick a context for when you want it to happen

[dapper sun]

?

ok i'll try it

thanks

[grand sage]

how do i make this work everytime i load my mod with this code it says attempted to load a nil value

[frosty rampart]

you're using the load file function wrong, but you don't need to manually load image files anyway

you do need to have the images separated into a 1x and 2x version in the assets folder, but the game will automatically load everything properly placed in the assets folder

[grand sage]

I do have a 1x and 2x version in my assets folder the reason there is a load fuction is because im trying to make these appear when im doing crossmod with allinjest

[slim ferry]

just put the AltTexture in the check for the mod

[weary merlin]

what might be preventing a soul card from creating my custom legendary joker

SMODS.Joker {    --Archibald 
  key = "archibald",
    
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Archibald",
        text = {
            "Disables the price scaling of",
            "{C:green}Rerolls{} in the shop",
            "{C:inactive}(Minimum cost of {C:money}$1{C:inactive}){}"
        },
        unlock={
            "{E:1,s:1.3}?????"
        }
    },
    
    rarity = 4,
    cost = 20,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    
  pos = { x = 5, y = 0 },
  soul_pos = { x = 5, y = 1 },
    atlas = "jimbos",
        
    unlocked = false
}
local enlightenment_comedian_oldcalculatererollcost = calculate_reroll_cost
function calculate_reroll_cost(skip_increment)
  if (next(SMODS.find_card('j_en_comedian_archibald')) and G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost > 0) then
        return enlightenment_comedian_oldcalculatererollcost(true)
  end
  return enlightenment_comedian_oldcalculatererollcost(skip_increment)
end

[grand sage]

so i changed it and removed the stuff above but now it crashes when i open the texture menu and still none of the spectrals have their textures changed unless you meant something else?

[loud citrus]

Is there anything I can look to help me show dynamic text on a joker using loc_vars?

[solid salmon]

hey guys what are unscored cards identified as

like other_card is played cards

[faint yacht]

context.cardarea == 'unscored'

[solid salmon]

how do i destroy em

[faint yacht]

context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == 'unscored' and context.other_card, return {remove = true}

[weary merlin]

may i interest you in

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == "unscored" and not context.blueprint then
    return {
      remove = true
    }
  end
end

and tbh i find 100% destroy rate to be a bit OP

50% seems much more realistic

[solid salmon]

its for a temporary joker

[weary merlin]

oh neat

[solid salmon]

it only works for 3 hands then it dies

[weary merlin]

yeah mine is for this:

[solid salmon]

neat

[weary merlin]

would anyone know why this doesn't work?

unlocked = false,
locked_loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  return { vars = { 18 } }
end,
check_for_unlock = function(self, args)
  return args.type == 'discover_amount' and #G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Spectral <= args.spectral_count
end

crashes when i try to load the game, despite it following the same format as vanilla rewritten does for the cartomancer unlock

[daring fern]

Log?

[weary merlin]

i'm gonna try using the achievement criteria since that's an overlap here

check_for_unlock = function(self, args)
  return G.DISCOVER_TALLIES.spectrals.tally/G.DISCOVER_TALLIES.spectrals.of >= 1
end```
so this works fine but crashes upon profile reset, attempt to index field DISCOVER_TALLIES

[solid salmon]

how do i increase hands and discards for the current blind

[daring fern]

ease_hands_played and ease_discard

[solid salmon]

k

[weary merlin]

fixed it, was missing args.type == 'discover_amount'

[white hull]

how would i do something when a joker is being destroyed i.e. by madness/dagger?

[warm solar]

for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
    if v.set == 'Joker' then
        if (not v.mod) then
            G.GAME.banned_keys[k] = true
        end
    end
end

how would i change this deck apply into only accepting jokers from a single mod, as it accepts all modded jokers right now.

[normal crest]

should do if v.original_mod and v.original_mod.id == "modid" then

[feral tree]

how do i detect if you've bought a spectral card in a G.E_MANAGER:add_event?

[wispy falcon]

How would I get the current position of the card in it's own calculate?

[feral tree]

this?

            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
                    my_pos = i
                    break
                end
            end```

[wispy falcon]

Let me try

Yes, that works. Thank you :D

[warm solar]

ty this worked well

the original joker still shows up for some reason though

[rich pollen]

Is there anything out there that implements like, a divide mult or divide chips score modifier???

[versed swan]

xmult = 1/(dividing amount)

[rich pollen]

You know what that makes sense

But how does that show up on the joker description?

Does it provide a divide symbol or do I have to format it myself

[versed swan]

you gotta format it yourself

something like {C:white,X:mult}/#1# {}Mult or something

[rich pollen]

Yes Ive dont that before, Used that today for armor piercing rounds

Making a risk of rain 2 full content mod

[obsidian spear]

-# bump

[rich pollen]

I am not the one to help lols

[warm solar]

how do you play a sound without delay when you're also changing the mult/chips

[loud summit]

hi how do you play the juice up anim on the blind score

[keen quest]

How would the code look like if I want the joker to activate on any hand except a specific one

like something like "Gains +10 mult if a played poker hand is not a straight"

[loud summit]

look at ortalab

[daring fern]

if context.before and context.scoring_name ~= 'Straight'

[keen quest]

thank you 🙏 🙏 🙏

[mystic river]

original joker as in ? he's the fallback whenever the game tries to generate a joker with an empty pool (e.g. it decides to generate a Rare but your mod has no Rares)

the only way to block Jimbo entirely is to ensure some other joker can always appear

[daring fern]

[obsidian spear]

How do I get the loc_txt of a joker?

tyyyyyy

[vale grove]

        calculate = function(self, card, context)
        
        if context.initial_scoring_step then 
            local old_mult = mult * 2
            local old_chips = hand_chips *2
            mult = mod_mult(old_mult) 
            hand_chips = mod_chips(old_chips)

            return {
            message = "Doubled!",
            pitch = 1,


            }
        end
    end,

i have this that doubles the base chips and mult, how do i make it keep doubling as the round goes on (and make it reset at the end of round)
(so a lvl 1 high cards becomes 2 - 10 4 -20 8 -40 etc)

[daring fern]

Why aren't you doing Xmult_mod = 2 and Xchip_mod = 2?

[vale grove]

uh

i copied this from another joker i have and it works so i didnt really ask questions tbh

[daring fern]

You would put a variable in the config and increase it every hand, and do Xmult_mod = 2^variable and Xchip_mod = 2^variable and you would reset it at context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[vale grove]

                mult = mult * Xmult_mod,   
                hand_chips = chips * Xchip_mod,

mult works, chips gives an error on chips

[daring fern]

return {
    Xmult_mod = 2^variable,
    Xchip_mod = 2^variable,
}

[vale grove]

when i use Xmult_mod/Xchip_it doesnt do anything at all

[daring fern]

Code?

[vale grove]

    config = {
        extra = {
            multiplier = 0
        }
    },

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return { vars = { center.ability.extra.multiplier } }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before then
            card.ability.extra.multiplier =
                card.ability.extra.multiplier + 1
        end

        if context.end_of_round or context.main_eval then
            card.ability.extra.multiplier = 0
        end

        if context.initial_scoring_step then
            local multiplier = card.ability.extra.multiplier

            return {
                card = card,
                Xmult_mod = 2 ^ multiplier,
                Xchip_mod = 2 ^ multiplier,
                message = "Doubled",
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
    end
``` this doesnt do anything

        if context.initial_scoring_step then
            local multiplier = card.ability.extra.multiplier
            local Xmult_mod = 2 ^ multiplier
            local Xchip_mod = 2 ^ multiplier

            return {
                card = card,
                mult = mult * Xmult_mod,   
                hand_chips = Xchip_mod,
                message = "Doubled", 
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end

however this one doubles the mult (idk the correct way for chips so that one doesnt) but the multiplier stack doesnt work (everything same as above)

[subtle storm]

Hello, I have an issue with a shaders that i've created for an edition. i don't understand why i have that beacause i don't have a mouse_screen_pos variable in my shader.

[solid salmon]

are you trying to make it exponential?

would this work (btz_gokus is an objectType)

[vale grove]

yes

[solid salmon]

if you want to multiply chips

then do

chips = chips * XChip_mod

[normal crest]

no

[solid salmon]

What about writing down every member of that object type?

[normal crest]

does your object type have only jokers

[solid salmon]

Yes

[vale grove]

then i get this

[subtle storm]

ok now i've fix my issue but i have an other problem, i can send my codes if it's helpful

[wintry solar]

You need to use the galactic variable in your shader or delete it iirc

[subtle storm]

shader (galactic.fs)

galactic.lua

where am i supposed to use it

[normal crest]

I think your variable may need to be named galactic rather than galaxy

[normal crest]

you can loop through G.jokers.cards and check if joker.config.center.pools.btz_gokus

[faint yacht]

...just check if the given center actually has pools.

[normal crest]

forgot about that, so if (joker.config.center.pools or {}).btz_gokus

[vale grove]

how do you disable the standard message of adding mult or chips?

[static valley]

How would I keep track of jokers that have been sold or destroyed

not like the number, I mean I wish to keep track of the 2 most recent jokers/consumables/cards that have been sold/destroyed

[ocean sinew]

is there a variable of how much cards got sold this run?

[slim ferry]

how can i get if a card has been discovered or not?

[solid salmon]

like as in a for loop

for i = 1, G.jokers.cards do

[ocean sinew]

how do I do soul layer

[warm solar]

ohh i see ty

[stoic void]

soul_pos = { x = x, y = y },

[tepid crow]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions#:~:text=If you do not want the default messages to be shown when adding chips etc. there are 2 ways around this

[high agate]

how come sound = 'key' and play_sound() result in completely different volumes

[vernal halo]

is the mod "balatro goes kino"compatible with cryptid?

[high agate]

former seems to be much quieter than the latter

[vernal halo]

found it

[vale crow]

Is there a way to make it so when playing a hand, instead of using a poker hand's score, to add up the chips and mult of each poker hand that composes the played hand?
For example when playing a Full House, instead of doing 40X4, it uses the chips and mult of High Card, Pair, Two Pairs, Three of a Kind and Full House making it 5+10+20+30+40 X 1+2+2+3+4.
Obviously a mod that would do such a thing should change the poker hand's scoring values to balance things.

[wet valley]

Hi, I'm trying to make a mod to procedurally generate Jokers, here's what I got so far (textures are mostly for testing purposes for now)

However I'm running into a few issues

One being the annoying little border that gets added to the outline of different Sprites

And the other is the tilt not being properly applied from the parent card

[harsh belfry]

oh hell nah we got JokNFT

[wet valley]

That is not the intent but unfortunately feels similar

[spiral mural]

how do i have unmodifiable values in a joker (as in other jokers can't value manipulate them)

[umbral zodiac]

often the standard for ignoring value manip is to set immutable to true in the smods.joker initialization

[pallid bobcat]

to draw layers on top of cards while keeping the tilt, you can look at how the game draws stickers onto jokers (in card.lua)

basically something like

sprite.role.draw_major = self
sprite:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, self.children.center)

[umbral zodiac]

or if you only want certain values the standard for that is an “immutable” table, similar to the “extra” table

[spiral mural]

thanks lily

[wet valley]

Is the dissolve shader the one handling the tilt??

Otherwise I'm also rendering them with the center as the parent

Oh wait draw major

I didn't read that part my bad

[frosty rampart]

yes

balatro is in a 2d engine, the shader pipeline and speicfically the dissolve shader is what simulates the 3d effect

[spiral mural]

how do i select a random consumable pool

nvm found it G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Consumeables

[wet valley]

Thank you so much I spent more than an hour on this

Now I only have the remaining issue of borders around sprites, if anyone knows what causes that?

Could it be due to my png atlas being weird?

Or is it something to do with rendering

I had that issue on a previous mod as well where I created a custom deck skin

Here's another example of the issue

[tepid crow]

see #💻・modding-dev message

[wet valley]

Thank you, I will look into this when I have the time

I see the issue is what I expected

[sage crater]

should this part in vanillaRemade have parenthesis for the function?

[versed swan]

That is valid Lua syntax, parentheses are optional

Especially for SMODS.create_card since it only takes one parameter of data type table

[sage crater]

that's crazy

but good to know

[tidal hemlock]

how do you use variables in jokerforge? and how do you display them visually?

[frosty rampart]

the jokerforge thread in #1209506514763522108 or the jf discord server (linked in that thread somewhere iirc) is probably a better place to ask

[tidal hemlock]

i dont see a jokerforge official thread in there, just a bunch of creations made with jokerforge

[frosty rampart]

ah it's because there's a space
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1386843228330004611

[tidal hemlock]

nvm forgot the space lol

[frosty rampart]

yea lol

[sage crater]

what area should this playing card have to go to my deck (Also, I have an emplace function afterwards to send it to my hand. Is this right)?

[chrome widget]

Area shouldnt be a string literal

You can use SMODS.add_card instead to automatically emplace it somewhere

[daring fern]

‎

[warm solar]

how do i make a joker that, when sold, replaces all held jokers with their specific counterpart jokers?

[daring fern]

if context.selling_self then
    for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if counterpartjokertable[v.config.center.key] then
            v:set_ability(counterpartjokertable[v.config.center.key])
        end
    end
end

[warm solar]

how should i set up the ability and counterpartjokertable?

[loud summit]

how does in_pool work for backs

how would i prevent it from spawning a specific vooucher

[vale zinc]

How do I pass a given card's table as an argument to SMODS.add_card()?

[daring fern]

counterpartjokertable = {
    j_joker = 'j_modprefix_jokercounterpartkey'
}

[daring fern]

You mean you want to copy a card?

[vale zinc]

I wanna create a copy of a specified card and add it to deck.

Without drawing it to hand.

[daring fern]

copy_card(card)

[loud summit]

is there a context for entering a shop

[daring fern]

context.starting_shop

[loud summit]

oh

its not on the wiki

[frosty rampart]

yea the calculate functions wiki page is woefully outdated
eremel's working on rewriting it, just give him some time

[loud summit]

ok

also how does the in_pool function work for decks

[vale zinc]

I've got this code excerpt from something that creates a copy of the player's deck when the Blind is selected, but it doesn't work.

local mirror_card = copy_card(card_to_mirror, nil, nil, G.playing_card)
mirror_card:add_to_deck()

I'm basing it on Ortalab's Rouge Rose.

[loud summit]

i want to make reroll surplus not appear when my deck is used and taking ownership of it seems excessive

[warm solar]

i tried doing this and it crashed when selling the joker, is there anywhere specific i should put the joker table

[vale zinc]

@daring fern, can I pass copy_card(card) as an argument to SMODS.add_card()?

And how does SMODS.add_card(card) differ from card:add_to_deck()?

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card creates a card, emplaces it, and adds it to deck, Card:add_to_deck() triggers the card's add to deck effects.

    end
    for k, v in pairs(G.deck.cards) do
        better_copy_card(v).ability.LAPSEMS_world_mirror = true
    end
end

[vale zinc]

Replaced my set_blind() with this code, but the game froze.

Also, this is what Rouge Rouse uses:

local card = SMODS.add_card({set = 'Base', area = G.deck, suit = suit, rank = rank})
card.ability.rouge_rose = true

[vague crest]

currently trying to discard certain ranks after hand is played, in a fashion similar to The Hook. I've narrowed it down to this specifically crashing it when it runs but the error log isn't giving me anything to go off of, just that the highlighted bit crashes

says attempt to index local 'card', a nil value

[daring fern]

You can't put cards in other cards.

[vague crest]

what does that mean in this context? i was under the assumption that one of these is a list of cards (queue) and one of them is just the array of highlighted cards

tried refactoring it to be more like the vremade hook and still same issue,

more of the code if it helps

it might be struggling to give selected card the value?

[daring fern]

local passed = false
for k, v in pairs(G.hand.cards) do
    if v:get_id() == 5 then
        passed = true
        v.area:add_to_highlighted(v, true)
        play_sound('card1')
    end
end
if passed then G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted(nil, true) end

[vague crest]

oh shit that worked great! thanks

If I had a penny for every generated Jokers-like mod I'd have 3 😅 (I'm one of them) Can't wait to see how you'll handle yours

Wha

[stiff locust]

im going to try rotating a joker again

but where is the rotate

everyone just said smods.drawstep last time i asked and there's nothing in the documentation for angle

[pale holly]

OKay so two things :
Is there a way to change the spawn rate of a voucher or a consumable if you own a joker ?
I know i could use something like if next(SMODS.find_card("j_splash")) then to check if a joker is present but i wouldn't know about the rest

[mystic river]

there's not a built in function to my awareness
you may have to patch something in somewhere

[pale holly]

what if i try to play with the weight ?

something among the lines of

    get_weight = function(self)
if next(SMODS.find_card("j_splash")) then
        return  (0* self.weight) + 1
else 
return  0 * self.weight
    end
    end,

[mystic river]

is get_weight valid on vouchers and consumeables? the documentation is really unclear on this

yeah i don't think it is
only modifiers, vouchers, and rarities (but not cards within the rarity)

seems like a feature worth adding someday

[pale holly]

well, weight is about spawn rates right ?
maybe it could work out ?
i guess right now the only really easiest way would be to do a special pool for it ?

oh wait

in pools

what if i try to play with the weight ?

something among the lines of

in_pool = function(self, args)
if next(SMODS.find_card("j_splash")) then
    return true
else
  return false
end
end,

the card couldn't spawn unless the joker is present

i guess it's worth to see if it does work in that logic

though

HOLY FUCK IT ACTUALLY WORKS

I made a quick test with planet cards, in that case there's only pluto since it's the default card and i've all planet cards in my consumable slots

and here i've added splash from the code and now the consumable spawns

[rigid pebble]

you can do this in vanilla

real fun

very hard tho

[pale holly]

I mean i guess ?

[rigid pebble]

perkeo

and with tarots too

[pale holly]

I just wanted to make so my consumable wouldn't appear unless a very specific joker is in the joker slots

[rigid pebble]

you can make an infinite money chain if you thin pool down to emporor and hermit

[pale holly]

oh yeah,

i mean my goal here was just to see if my code to make a consumable appear only if a joker is present to work or not

[rigid pebble]

that would be a good seeded run

[pale holly]

and right now

it does

[rigid pebble]

cool

[pale holly]

it's probably the easiest lines of code too so i didn't actually expected it to work

[rigid pebble]

i'm gonna do this now lol

i want infinite money

i might be the first too...

[pale holly]

sure

[rigid pebble]

hm

i can beat a million

surely

[mossy anchor]

fellow linux players what was the balatro mod directory again

as payment ill give PeggleSetup.exe

[pale holly]

/home/(your username)/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/2379780/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Balatro

[mossy anchor]

yk theres a way easier way to say /home/(your username) right

[pale holly]

Perhaps

[mossy anchor]

also its ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2379780/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Balatro/Mods/ for me

~

[pale holly]

yeah that's the same, just username and the mods folder, should have added that

[hollow mango]

i'd like to create an unlock for an enhancement. if im not mistaken, enhancements can't do unlocks, right? I remember trying at one point, at least...

i could pretty easily do some trickery and swap the sprite and description using loc_vars, which would make it look like it was locked. but how would I do an unlock popup like using unlock_card? would I have to make the UI myself, or is there something else I can do?

[delicate pivot]

I've asked this before, but maybe someone else will know what to do. I'm trying to overwrite the base game's blank card sprite so it is either accepting a new sprite in its place or make it invisible (whatever is easier). I can provide an example/photo to explain what I mean if anyone is confused. I already the new sprite made, but I don't know how to overwrite the sprite.

[wintry solar]

Using Malverk?

[dusty fractal]

how would i make a joker return a different string when its in the collection

i have a randomized hand type when you encounter it but i want it to explain that in the collection

[hollow mango]

i can think of a way: use the card area of the joker to determine it. in loc_vars, if the area is in your jokers or in the shop slots, return one key for your loc which displays the hand. otherwise return a different key that displays an explanation

[dusty fractal]

sweet thanks

is there a list of the valid areas

[hollow mango]

i dont know of one off the top of my head

[dusty fractal]

i imagine its somewhere in the code but

[hollow mango]

its def in the code yeah

[dusty fractal]

kk sweet

[hollow mango]

maybe G.shop_jokers or smth

[dusty fractal]

im trying to just find the one thats for the dictionary

cus it' dbe a lot safer to use an if statement to check that

edge cases

[hollow mango]

i'm digging through the code rn and i see G.your_collection

which is being indexed so i assume its a table of some kind that contains cardareas

[dusty fractal]

G.DISCOVER_TALLIES.jokers

it seems like it iterates through this?

which is weird

but im thinking that might just be some sort of tallying method

thats just implemented weird

[hollow mango]

possibly

[wintry solar]

Maybe I should implement alternate collection loc vars like blinds have 🤔

[dusty fractal]

thats what i was thinking yeah

[hollow mango]

maybe...

ive run into this situation more than once (but usually i just work around it instead of implementing anything into the joker to actually do it)

[dusty fractal]

i tried to implement it with the collection loc_vars shit

but it didnt work and i was like

'huh. thats weird'.

[hollow mango]

lol

[dusty fractal]

it seems like checking if card.area == G.your_collection doesn't do anything

which is weird since it definetly is handled as an area

[hollow mango]

no cuz its a table of card areas

you have to index a particular one

[dusty fractal]

ohhhhh lmao

[hollow mango]

u could just iterate and test them all

and thatd do it

i assume its one cardarea per row

[dusty fractal]

could also jus look through the joker one

but then

that'd not work with the 'mods'' part of the mod would it

hmmm

where it show sall the additions

sweet

[hollow mango]

SUCCESS!

mission accomplished

[wispy falcon]

Why does the Card with this Edition never trigger? Or more specific, how do I only make it trigger when it is it's turn?

[wintry solar]

You should be able to do card.area.config.collection iirc

[dusty fractal]

fair

now i want to make it only show in inactive color if its in the collection

time for evil code

[spice scroll]

real quick how do i make the text wiggle inside a joker text box

i thought it was v:1 but that isnt workin

[normal crest]

i think it's E:1

also https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling

[spice scroll]

fire tyy

whered my reactions go..................

[normal crest]

get a role in id:customize

[elder rune]

Where in the code does mult and chips get multiplied together

[normal crest]

i think functions/state_events.lua when SMODS.calculate_round_score is called

but not 100% sure

[elder rune]

I swear I have checked like everywhere but eh ill see again

yeah I think I found it

[tired kestrel]

I already have a role

but I have not selected which.

although I do have an ipad which I ahve not installed balatro on it.

[normal crest]

civil chatter doesn't give reaction permissions i guess

you need to pick one of those there

[tired kestrel]

I'll go ahead and pick theo nes of the devices I have

and I can react soemhow now

[static valley]

how do I check if you ended a round using your most played hand?

[river grail]

oh yea ive been meaning to ask
@tired kestrel how do you change the balatro background into a different shader again? ive been wanting to do that for my end except the background would change based on a bunch of parameters (like how high you score, or if a certain shop is active)

[tired kestrel]

I think you have to basically make splash.fs or background.fs and basically add in the shader you wanted. But you also have to make sure to sue the mix and set it to 1 so that way while the oriignal background is used without error you can basically set the other one to the max to show the background you desire.

The last part is basically having to configure about how you want it to make it. cause if you do't do modifications you'll get like the basic one since right now the brightness is handled by the splash.

I don't know if there'd be a proper tutorial

or if I would ever make a proper tutorial as it seems advanced to do but you have to like learn about how shaders work

[river grail]

right

i'll look into it

[tired kestrel]

luckly enough there is this example that someone replaced a backgrounds: https://github.com/Kekulism/Vortex

[tired kestrel]

alright. though even though I only did this for my Drac-amet mod but there's a bit more to go through. But yeah I wish you luck and maybe hopefully there is a better way to replace the vortex in more easier way

for some reason it does the effect as many times as there are cards that remain in the hand at the end of the round

and... now it does nothing...

[frosty rampart]

yea end_of_round runs for context.individual too
add and not context.individual and it should be fixed i think?

            end
        end
    }

here's the code if it can help with fixing anything

[slim ferry]

try context.main_eval instead of not context.individual

also fyi that most played hand value resets per ante iirc

since its only used for the ox

all other things use a for loop to find the most played hand

[static valley]

how would I calculate the most played hand that way?

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-the-most-played-hand

[mellow marsh]

yall am i dumb is there a typo here i can't see

every other joker loads fine

[tranquil gull]

that seems wrong

[mellow marsh]

wait okay there was a syntax error in the file and that apparently just made the file not load rather than error directly

thats odd

[wispy falcon]

bump

[normal crest]

don't assert, just let it crash

then you'll have an actual crash log

or remove the message from assert

[slim ferry]

fyi, SMODS.load_file returns two things

both the file as a function and an error if one arises

[mellow marsh]

ahh okay, ty both

[slim ferry]

so you probably want to be doing

local file_data, err = SMODS.load_file(path..".lua")
if err then error(err) end

[normal crest]

yeah that's better than what I said

[slim ferry]

cryptid also does this for its recursive loader

[mellow marsh]

fwiw the wiki only mentions a single return value for load_file, i suppose that should be amended sometime

(though it then mentions love.filesystem.load, which would probably yield the correct return results if i had checked that)

[static valley]

trying to make it so that if you have 3 very specific jokers, it combines them into a fourth very specific joker

It doesn't do anything when I have all of the necessary jokers. Is there any place that I might have messed up
-# doing this in a game:upadate hook because if I had each individual piece check in the add_to_deck, it might accidentially create 3 copies of the thing

[tranquil gull]

ooooooooh yea i broke sth Bad

[slim ferry]

Comedy_checkForJokers seems to be expecting a table of cards, yet youre giving it a table of strings

it doesnt really do anything anyway

[static valley]

ohh

[slim ferry]

you definitely should change that function

[static valley]

i was about to ask

[slim ferry]

since currently all its doing is checking the keys of inputted cards and then checking if theres a joker with that key

which will be the case 99% of the time

also the function also seems a bit redundant, for the fusion check you could just do if next(SMODS.find_card("j_comedy_dragoon_claw")) and next(SMODS.find_card("j_comedy_dragoon_body")) and next(SMODS.find_card("j_comedy_dragoon_wings"))

and for the fusion you can then do it like this instead

SMODS.destroy_cards(SMODS.find_card("j_comedy_dragoon_claw"))
SMODS.destroy_cards(SMODS.find_card("j_comedy_dragoon_body"))
SMODS.destroy_cards(SMODS.find_card("j_comedy_dragoon_wings"))
SMODS.add_card{ key = "j_comedy_dragoon", area = G.jokers }

[static valley]

-- will check if you have the requirements to fuse the jokers
-- mainly for mythical shards
function Comedy_fusionCheck(parts)
    if (not parts) or (type(parts) ~= 'table') then return false end
    local canFuse = true
    for _, part in parts do
        if not SMODS.find_card(part) then
            canFuse = false
        end
    end
    return canFuse
end

    -- checking if you have all dragoon parts
    local dragoonParts = {"j_comedy_dragoon_claw", "j_comedy_dragoon_body", "j_comedy_dragoon_wings"}
    if Comedy_fusionCheck(dragoonParts) then
        Comedy_fuse_jokers(dragoonParts, "j_comedy_dragoon")
        check_for_unlock { type = 'comedy_spawn_mythical' }
    end

I went and did this now, and the second I booted up the game, I got a crash

[slim ferry]

youre missing pairs/ipairs

in the for loop

[static valley]

oops

i sometimes forget that I'm not coding in python or java

so...

I got it to work

but now when you have the 3 things, it will keep making an endless supply of the Dragoon until after the dragoon parts have been destroyed, but only because it caused an error

[slim ferry]

did you forget to return true in the event

[static valley]

I did now, but for some reason it creates the thing even if the jokers don't exist

so even if you didn't have the 3 pieces, it will just keep creating an endless amount

[slim ferry]

SMODS.find_card at least returns an empty table

so you need a next

you should also probably set a flag while the fusing is happening so it doesnt keep happening until the destruction animation finishes

[static valley]

where would I put that flag?

[slim ferry]

probably in the update hook when fusion starts

and then check if the flag isnt set before doing fusion

you could also just handle fusing in the add_to_deck for each of the jokers actually

so you dont have to worry about it running repeatedly

[static valley]

yea but wouldn't that just make it create 3 copies?

[slim ferry]

no

[vale crow]

which context. should I use for before cards are scored but after the contained poker hands are put into context.poker_hands?

[slim ferry]

add to deck only runs when you obtain the card

which would only do something on the last part you obtain

[slim ferry]

context.before?

[vale crow]

Doesn't work since I'm using SMODS.current_mod.calculate()

[slim ferry]

why wouldnt it work

theres nothing about that that wouldnt work there

[frosty rampart]

if you're trying to add chips/mult, use context.initial_scoring_step instead
but otherwise yea context.before should be perfectly fine

[vale crow]

When using it, context.before is before a score reset step

[frosty rampart]

yea that's intended behavior

use context.initial_scoring_step if you need to modify any scoring

[slim ferry]

that is not related to the specific calculate yueah

[frosty rampart]

(resetting the score after context.before allows e.g. the level up from space joker to actually apply to the played hand)

[vale crow]

Thanks, I've tried initial_scoring_step but apparently context.poker_hands is not populated

or I'm doing something wrong

[wintry solar]

show your code

[vale crow]

I want to add mult for every poker hand contained, I'm currently testing it before making it a joker

function SMODS.current_mod.calculate(self, context)
if context.initial_scoring_step then
local nbph = 1

    if context.poker_hands then
        for _, h in ipairs(context.poker_hands) do
            nbph = nbph + 1
        end
    end

    return {mult= 10*nbph}
end

end

[wintry solar]

context.poker_hands isn't an integer indexed table

so ipairs wont do anything to it

you want something like this

for _, hand in pairs(context.poker_hands) do
  if next(hand) then nbph = nbph + 1 end
end

[vale crow]

Thanks! But what is the underlying structure of poker_hands?

[wintry solar]

{
  ['Pair'] = {{Card, Card}, {Card, Card}, {Card, Card}},
  ['Three of a Kind'] = {{Card, Card, Card}},
  ['Flush'] = {},
 -- etc
}

I believe that is how a three of a kind would look

[vale crow]

There's no ['High Card'] ?

[wintry solar]

every hand is always present

I just didn't type high card

[vale crow]

Ok Thank you very much!

It works!

            end
        end,
        calculate = function(self, card, context)
            if context.joker_main then
                return {
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }
            end
        end
    }

for some reason even if it does have all 3 when the third one is added to the deck, it will not do anything

[dusk cargo]

How do I make my deck block everything added from different mods (excluding my mod)

[mystic river]

apply = function(self, back)
  for k,v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
      if v.original_mod and v.original_mod.id ~= "your_mod_id" then
          G.GAME.banned_keys[k] = true
      end
  end
end

depending on the timing of things, you might have to put it in an event to make it wait til G.GAME.banned_keys actually exists

[wintry solar]

what does your hasJokers function look like?

[static valley]

function Comedy_hasJokers(jokers)
    if (not jokers) or (type(jokers) ~= 'table') then return false end
    local hasJokers = true
    for _, joker in ipairs(jokers) do
        if not next(SMODS.find_card(joker)) then
            hasJokers = false
        end
    end
    return hasJokers
end

[wintry solar]

I believe the add to deck function is called before the card is added to the area, so this function will never be able to find the card that is calling it

try just checking for the other 2 cards

[dusk cargo]

This blocks consumables and vouchers too right?

[mystic river]

yep
the only things not in G.P_CENTERS are blinds and tags, iirc

[dusk cargo]

Thank you!

[static valley]

how would I have it wait until after the jokers are destroyed before creating the fused joker?

[frosty rampart]

create the joker in an event

[solid salmon]

how do i use "is a pair" as a context (not contains)

[frosty rampart]

context.scoring_hand will be a string containing the name of the hand that it actually counts as
use that in whatever timing you have

[vale zinc]

context.scoring_name == <poker_hand>

[dusk cargo]

Does anyone know the problem with this

[daring fern]

You need to use brackets.

[dusk cargo]

Where?

[daring fern]

if context.debuff_card and (context.debuff_card:is_suit('Spades') or context.debuff_card:is_suit('Clubs'))

[dusk cargo]

Thank you

[solid salmon]

like this?

[vale zinc]

Yeah, that'd probably do it. I cribbed that excerpt from To Do List.

A question of my own: just what can you pass as an argument to SMODS.add_card()?

[solid salmon]

wdym?

[vale zinc]

I ask 'cause I'm creating a Showdown Blind that gives the player a copy of their current deck, which I based on Ortalab's Rouge Rose.

Here's what Rouge Rose uses to assemble the original deck:

local suits = {'S','C','D','H'}
local ranks = {'2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10','J','Q','K','A'}
for _, suit in ipairs(suits) do
    for _, rank in ipairs(ranks) do
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after', delay = 0.05,
            func = function()
                local card = SMODS.add_card({set = 'Base', area = G.deck, suit = suit, rank = rank})
                card.ability.rouge_rose = true
                return true
            end
        }))
    end
end

[solid salmon]

you could check wraith

wait no

wrong card

[vale zinc]

Cryptid, you mean? I was told much the same.

[solid salmon]

ankh

the spectral

[vale zinc]

But it doesn't work when I pass a card (in table form) to SMODS.add_card().

[solid salmon]

oh

i dont really know anything about copying cards

[vale zinc]

Is there anyone here who might?

[solid salmon]

i dont really know any very good modders

[daring fern]

You use copy_card for copying cards, not SMODS.add_card

[vale zinc]

But can I copy a card with copy_card() then pass it as an argument to SMODS.add_card()? 'Cause I don't know of any other way to add cards to the deck upon blind select, other than how Rouge Rose did it.

[solid salmon]

is there a way to get the level of a played hand

[daring fern]

No, CardArea:emplace(card)

[static valley]

how do I get exponential mult to work without having to use/require Tailsman?

[solid salmon]

or like

not played

[vale zinc]

Need I replace CardArea with, say, G.deck?

[daring fern]

mult_mod = (-mult)+mult^number

[solid salmon]

hey guys

how do i get the level of pair

[vale zinc]

G.GAME.hands['Pair'].level

[mystic river]

yes

[static valley]

this ended up happening:

INFO - [G] 2025-12-11 18:56:14 :: ERROR :: StackTrace :: Oops! The game crashed

[vale zinc]

You and @daring fern, that did correctly clone the deck, but now the cards won't go away! (This was likewise adapted from Rouge Rose.)

disable = function(self)
    if not G.GAME.blind.disabled then
        LAPSEMS.disable_blind_reset_mult()
        self:defeat()
        
        for _, card in pairs(G.hand.cards) do
            if card.ability.world_mirror then
                card:shatter()
            end
        end
        G.STATE_COMPLETE = false
        G:update_draw_to_hand()
    end
end,
defeat = function(self)
    for _, card in pairs(G.deck.cards) do
        if card.ability.world_mirror then
            card:shatter()
        end
    end

            card:shatter()
        end
    end
    G.GAME.starting_deck_size = self.original_deck_size
end

[static valley]

oh wait that's for the wrong thing. Either way, it ended up subtracting all of the mult first

[solid salmon]

how do i make a joker spawn mercury

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({key = 'c_mercury'})

[static valley]

how would I do that for chips?

[daring fern]

chip_mod = (-hand_chips)+hand_chips^number

[vale zinc]

Nevermind, I figured it out: I was looking for card.ability.world_mirror instead of card.ability.LAPSEMS_world_mirror.

[loud summit]

how would you have a context for when a steel card is activated

[daring fern]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.end_of_round and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_steel')

[frosty rampart]

don't forget and not context.end_of_round

[loud summit]

oh theres no way to outside of just checking if youre holding a steel card?

[frosty rampart]

yea there's no post_trigger for playing cards like there is for jokers

[loud summit]

uhh how would you check if its debuffed then

[frosty rampart]

context.other_card.debuff

[loud summit]

thx

[daring fern]

No, debuffed cards don't score.

[loud summit]

oh

thats handy

[solid salmon]

guys this joker isnt appearing ingame what did i do wrong

[mystic river]

is it in the collection

[spiral mural]

discovered equals false

make it true unless you want a unlock method

if you want a unlock method make one smh

[mystic river]

you're thinking about unlocked

discovered just means it shows as "Undiscovered Joker" until you find it

[spiral mural]

blundering

[dusk cargo]

I want to set up jokers that have an alternate joker. And then joker where selling it replaces those jokers with the alternate jokers if they are held in your hand. Is this possible?

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[dusk cargo]

I tried to set it up and it crashes with "attempt to index 'counterpartjokertable'"

[vale zinc]

It looks like G.P_CENTER_POOLS doesn't have the table of all possible poker hands. Where are they kept?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.hands

[harsh belfry]

SMODS.PokerHands

other answer works too

[vale zinc]

The other answer froze my game.

[harsh belfry]

though different structure and SMODS.PokerHands gives you the initial hand stats

[daring fern]

Code?

[vale zinc]

eval G.GAME.hands

[harsh belfry]

and allows you to screw with calc

[vale zinc]

Nevermind, I ran it again and it didn't freeze.

[harsh belfry]

so like it only matters if you need to do something with stats or calc

[vale zinc]

How do I localize G.GAME.last_hand_played? Running localize(G.GAME.last_hand_played) merely gives "ERROR".

[harsh belfry]

localize(G.GAME.last_hand_played, "poker_hands")

[dusk cargo]

if context.selling_self then
    for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if counterpartjokertable[v.config.center.key] then
            v:set_ability(counterpartjokertable[v.config.center.key])
        end
    end
end

Does anyone know how to set this up?

[feral tree]

how do i update the text for G.GAME.chips to fit the actual number?

[spice scroll]

does anyone have the documentation for how remove_card works cause im apparently misusing it

[daring fern]

You mean CardArea:remove_card?

[spice scroll]

yep

someone else just told me using it doesnt destroy the card?

[daring fern]

Yes, it just removes it from the CardArea.

[spice scroll]

what would i use for destroying cards then

[daring fern]

Card:remove()

[spice scroll]

hmm, im trying to remove every other card, and im just iterating through cards[i], tho

can i still reference a card by its position in the card area

[harsh belfry]

cards[i]:remove()

cards[i] is a card

you can remove it

[spice scroll]

ok so remove doesnt take an argument then

[harsh belfry]

no

you just call it on a card

like that

[spice scroll]

so itd be G.jokers.cards[i]:remove() then

[harsh belfry]

yes

[spice scroll]

alright thank you

[copper perch]

I'm having an issue with a joker of mine where when you sell it, it crashes the game for some reason. Below is the error and code

        if context.joker_main and not context.blueprint then
            if card.ability.retriggers >= 13 then
                local eval = function(card) return not card.REMOVED end
                juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
            end
        end
        if context.selling_self then
            if card.ability.retriggers >= 13 then
                SMODS.add_card ( {key = "j_DRY_Sithe_NEO" } )
            end
        end

[normal crest]

Are you calling SMODS.has_enhancement somewhere

[copper perch]

yes

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.hand and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_steel') and not context.end_of_round then
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "Sithe_steel_retrigger", 1, card.ability.odds, "Sithe_steel_retrigger") then
                card.ability.retriggers = card.ability.retriggers + 1
                return {
                    repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                }
            end
        end

[loud citrus]

dose anyone know of a modded joker who's effect uses two separate poker hands in it's ability?

[timid parrot]

What for?

[loud citrus]

i'm reworking seance to trigger after having played a flush and a straight, but i don't know the loc_vars well enough to make the extra value work

[timid parrot]

Should be the same as seance? Just with more and different entries

Tho even still, I’m confused. Do you mean a flush and a straight between two different plates hands?

[loud citrus]

yes

this is my current setup in the loc_vars

config = {extra = {poker_hand = 'Straight Flush'}}
i don't know how i would have split this into straight and flush so i did this instead

[timid parrot]

Not sure why you’re passing in self.ability.hand_tracker at all

[loud citrus]

to update the card text

[timid parrot]

But that doesn’t make sense in the vars

Those are the text replacement entries

[loud citrus]

so how would i do it? because i do want to replace the text

[frosty rampart]

you literally just need to remove self.ability.hand_tracker from the return statements

and then in the localization itself, put #1# where you want those strings to go

[loud citrus]

like that?

[frosty rampart]

yep

[vale zinc]

local pokerhands = {}
for k,v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    if SMODS.is_poker_hand_visible(k) then
        pokerhands[#pokerhands + 1] = v
    end
end
chosen_hands = {}
while #chosen_hands < card.ability.extra.hands do
    hand_to_add = pseudorandom_element(pokerhands, 'c_lapsems_skaro')
    if not LAPSEMS.contains(chosen_hands, hand_to_add) then
        chosen_hands[#chosen_hands + 1] = hand_to_add
    end
end
for i = 1, #chosen_hands do
    SMODS.smart_level_up_hand(card, chosen_hands[i], false, card.ability.extra.levels) -- This line produces a crash, "attempt to index a nil value". What do I do?
end

[loud citrus]

so every time i hover over the card in my collection. the game crashes, ask if you need the full crash log

even after the change

[daring fern]

Replace pokerhands[#pokerhands+1] = v with table.insert(pokerhands, k)

[vale zinc]

Figured that one out a split second before you replied. Thanks anyway, though.

[normal crest]

Is that the only place? Cus the crash log says that you're passing nil to has_enhancement somewhere. Also you're not on latest smods release

[copper perch]

For that Joker its the only instance of has_enhancement, there are others in the mod but only crashes when I sell the joker and a custom variable is greater than 13. Also am aware on the outdated smods, I just use multiplayer a lot so like to be back that far...plus if I dont have ploblems back there it shouldn't cause any in future, I'd think at least

[normal crest]

Maybe you sent the wrong crashlog then? Cus I don't know what else it could be

[copper perch]

no, I copied and pasted what it gave me...suppose I'll check the other enhancements though

[loud citrus]

these parts of my code crash the game when i hover over seance, when removed it defaults back to the original extra value... what would i need to change to fix the crashes?

[normal crest]

card.ability.extra.hand_tracker instead

[loud citrus]

didn't work 😭

[normal crest]

Did you start a new run

[loud citrus]

i'm looking through the collection

[normal crest]

is there a crash log

[normal crest]

Are you taking ownership of a joker

[loud citrus]

yeah

[normal crest]

can you send the full code

[normal crest]

Have you ever gotten it to not crash

after putting a config

[ivory citrus]

hello

[loud citrus]

no

loc_vars and the config part itself has been my road block

[ivory citrus]

anyone can help me with this?

[loud citrus]

move the card.ability.extra.fuerza = 0 above the return, you don't need to return the value, hope that helped :)

[copper perch]

Just to show all instances of has_enhancement

1. 
        if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.hand and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_steel') and not context.end_of_round then
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "Sithe_steel_retrigger", 1, card.ability.odds, "Sithe_steel_retrigger") then
                card.ability.retriggers = card.ability.retriggers + 1
                return {
                    repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                }
            end
        end

2 & 3 (another card).
        if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_steel') then
            for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do if v.config and v.config.center and v.config.center.key == 'm_steel' then v.ability.h_x_mult = 3 end end
        end
        if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.hand and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_steel') then
            return {
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions
            }
        end

[normal crest]

Number 2 doesn't seem to have a context check, unless you didn't copy it fully

[ivory citrus]

im gonna try, but thanks in any case

[normal crest]

I'm honestly not sure, I think that it's trying to call the original loc_vars and failing cus the config changed, but I dunno why that'd happen since I haven't used take_ownership very much

[loud citrus]

is there a way you think i can get around this?

[copper perch]

above it is just the calculate function

[normal crest]

Then yeah that's wrong, context.other_card only exists in certain contexts, like individual and repetition

[normal crest]

Not really, I'd need to test it on my pc but I can't today

[loud citrus]

well non the less this is progress lol, thank you :)

[copper perch]

thats weird then, cause it works on the one prior. I have below

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.hand and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_steel') and not context.end_of_round then
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "Sithe_steel_retrigger", 1, card.ability.odds, "Sithe_steel_retrigger") then
                card.ability.retriggers = card.ability.retriggers + 1
                return {
                    repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                }
            end
        end

and

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_steel') then
            for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do if v.config and v.config.center and v.config.center.key == 'm_steel' then v.ability.h_x_mult = 3 end end
        end
        if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.hand and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_steel') then
            return {
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions
            }
        end

[normal crest]

Wdym one prior?

The other two has_enhancement calls check if context.repetition before trying to access context.other_card

[copper perch]

ohhhhhhh, okay

so what could I do to make the enhancement call work on the 2nd???

and more importantly, how would 2 jokers affect each other in such a way?? I guess it could be that it transforms into the other

[normal crest]

I'd say first just try removing that 2nd part entirely and see if that fixes it. I'm assuming you were testing while having both jokers tbh

[copper perch]

Nope, I only had one, but one transforms into the other when selling which may be why it triggered upon selling

[normal crest]

Oh. Is the joker you spawn when selling the one with the missing context check

If so yeah that is definitely why

[copper perch]

nope, still returns a nil somewhere it says

[normal crest]

What'd you change

[copper perch]

wait, I'm dumb and forgot to save...hold on lol

I got rid of the bit with doing a check for enchants only, I'll let ya know how it goes

okay, that did solve it

so I gotta figure out how to phrase below so it works

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_steel') then
            for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do if v.config and v.config.center and v.config.center.key == 'm_steel' then v.ability.h_x_mult = 3 end end
        end

[normal crest]

Do you want to make all steel cards give only 3 mult instead

[copper perch]

yes

I have it on an add to deck but only applies to the ones in hand, not all in the deck

[normal crest]

I'm super tired and I don't wanna think, so I'm gonna give you the easiest but worst way of doing it. Loop through G.playing_cards in update, check if steel and change

[copper perch]

I can also save for tomorrow if you want, I have no deadlines and am just doing this for fun lol
Knowing the problem will help a TON at least

[loud citrus]

result of my labor, card will at least shake, though no actual value tracking :(

[soft pier]

actually the craziest logic problem so far

wild cards made this incredibly difficult

[dim forum]

this séance sounds much better than the current one at least

did the mult with suit cards get changed (lustly greedy etc)

can't open GitHub rn

[tired kestrel]

I need help trying to make an unlock based on the edition you bought. appernetly I tried many times to make it work but somehow sometimes it worked even without polychrome or it doesn't work.

I tried lovely patch and functions but none of them worked.

or did work

just not the way I thought it would supposed to be.

[loud citrus]

i played the game when they gave 4 mult and it was very broken times, but they will cost 4 instead of 5 :)

eary game that is

[dim forum]

I mean 15 mult on a flush hearts is cool for checkered players

[tired kestrel]

can anyone help with the unlock funtion or how it work?

[loud citrus]

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

i can't help but this might

[loud citrus]

they pretty much belong to early game because we have onyx agate

[dim forum]

yeah fair point

[loud citrus]

WAIT, rework to give CHIPS

no i forgot about the arrow

oops lol

if they are for early game, i could make them give mult on play instead of score >:)

but that could restrict some builds... this needs to be carefully approached

[tired kestrel]

help

I tried with using tables but nope

I think I broke it

[tired kestrel]

I tried but for some strange reason it didn't work in my favor somehow and I probably need help with this

[wet valley]

Thank you once again, that's exactly what I was looking for, it fixed my issue and my boys are looking sharp

seriously what am i doing wrong, set the local outside but now it's something else

[ashen drift]

put the function definition outside of the joker declaration

[pale holly]

so i should but the entirely get_new_boss function outside ?

[ashen drift]

yes

because it's actual code and not any arguement for SMODS.Joker

[stiff locust]

is there a way to check what joker calls a function (such as get_id() )

[ashen drift]

and thus should be run seperately

can't you just hook card:get_id

[pale holly]

Ah i see, and that's where add_to_deck and remove_from_deck will do the job by executing the code outside it ?

[ashen drift]

what?

[stiff locust]

well that would only have the info of the card being checked

[ashen drift]

oh yeah true

[stiff locust]

i need to know what joker is calling the function

[ashen drift]

hm

[stiff locust]

im considering a few things but if I want this idea to be future proof id need to like

get that info or lovely patch every instance of get_id to also return the joker's info when calling it

[pale holly]

setting the function outside will give me something like

    local original_get_new_boss = get_new_boss

    function get_new_boss(self)
  --if G.GAME.always_spawn_cymbal_boss_memory == true then
  if G.GAME.always_spawn_cymbal_boss_memory then
    return 'bl_cymbal_boss_memory'
  end
  return original_get_new_boss(self)
end

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "jam_sybil",
        loc_txt= {
        name = 'Jam Sybil',
        text = {    "",
    },},
    atlas = 'regaliadeck',
    pos = { x = 3, y = 2 },
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 5,
    pools = {["pseudoregamod"] = true},
 
    
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = false,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    
    --- the function
    config = { extra = {}},
        loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {}}
    end,

add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
G.GAME.always_spawn_cymbal_boss_memory = true
    end,
    
    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
G.GAME.always_spawn_cymbal_boss_memory = false
    end,
}

with only G.GAME.always_spawn_cymbal_boss_memory being there to activate the said code

[ashen drift]

no idea but card:get_id might be run a lot of other times from non-joker places

which might be jank

[ashen drift]

ye

[stiff locust]

mmh

[ashen drift]

maybe try another way to implement the feature?

what are you trying to do, btw

[stiff locust]

i want the gimmick of my new project mod to be that you can modify the mentioned ranks of jokers

[pale holly]

well i guess i better try, at least it won't run with syntax now it seems

[stiff locust]

like cloud nine could be changed to another rank for example

[ashen drift]

cant you just modify the joker's ability.extra?

[stiff locust]

it would be feasible to manually implement this on my jokers and the vanilla ones, but the feature would be pretty annoying to implement on modded jokers

[stiff locust]

no

almost every rank checking joker hardcodes the rank checking

[ashen drift]

oh yeah some people make that shit hardcoded

which is so ass

[stiff locust]

everyone does it

[ashen drift]

it makes value manip so hard

[ashen drift]

not me

[stiff locust]

well ur not supposed to change the rank value normally

like what if it becomes 4.5

now your joker is broken

thats why we hardcode those

[ashen drift]

thats not your joker's fault, though

its fully on the value manip which should be better implemented

[stiff locust]

it is if you didn't round the value

the value manip can't interpret what value you used for what

[ashen drift]

its a simple hook anyways

[pale holly]

thanks, it does work now, i keep getting the same blind as long as i've the card

[stiff locust]

anyway i would have no way to modify anything hardcoded which is the majority

so it would be nice to be able to intercept and modify the rank checks

[ashen drift]

maybe try hooking the function that actually changes ranks?

i wouldnt know though

[stiff locust]

no the function that gets ranks is get_id

i would need jokers to return their info in get_id to be able to do this

which I could patch get_id to allow, but that would still require people to manually add it to their jokers 🤔

that is probably the easiest method

[ashen drift]

oh yeah fuck i forgot the question

[daring fern]

local key, i = nil, 0
while not key do
    i=i+1
    local name, value = debug.getlocal(2, i)
    if not name then break end
    if type(value) == 'table' then
        if name == 'self' then
            if Card.is(value, Card) then
                key = value.config.center.key
            elseif value.key then
                key = value.key
            end
        elseif name == 'card' then
            key = value.config.center.key
        end
    end
end
```?

[stiff locust]

what is this

what does it do

[daring fern]

It looks for a card in the previously called function's local variables.

[stiff locust]

but i would need the info of the joker that is calling it
get_id would only have the info for the card being checked wouldn't it

[daring fern]

Yes, that's what it should do.

[stiff locust]

shiiit

fr?

where would I run that

[daring fern]

In a Card:get_id() hook.

[stiff locust]

i went to try and use a gif

unfortunately they are still blocked

[pale holly]

Is there a way to make a boss blind not appear trough the regular ways ?

If i set the min_requirement to a high value like 999 that should do it no ?

[ashen drift]

try setting in pool

[pale holly]

oh so just a

in_pool = function(self, args)
    return false
end,

should work then riight ?

[ashen drift]

should be

[pale holly]

Yes it works thanks

[candid acorn]

            if voucher.args then
                insert(tempPool, voucher)
            end
        end```

idk why the game does this when i try do to it

i have a voucher in the area

[daring fern]

It's table.insert not insert

[candid acorn]

yeaaaaa i changed it last minute but before that was using table.instert

[normal crest]

this crash is due to a pseudorandom_element call you have in Empowered.lua

oh I see, you're passing an empty table to it, presumably tempPool

[pastel badge]

my game crashes whenever i play a high card

and when i turn the volume to 0 it doesnt crash

[candid acorn]

OMG yes

bruh

i think i changed it to be good but it was giving the exact same error and i thought it was the same thing again

anyways back to my coding of doom and despair

[normal crest]

are you the developer of the mod you're using

[pastel badge]

you just made me realise thats the wrong chat 💔

[candid acorn]

also one more question is voucher.args correct? or does it do nothing? its supposed to check if the voucher can be scaled for the card not to pick something like magic trick to duplicate but idk if im doing it right

[normal crest]

uhm, I don't think so

what do you mean by it can be scaled

like getting more than 1 does something?

[candid acorn]

yes

[normal crest]

if so you'll probably just have to manually make a list of allowed vouchers to duplicate

or the opposite, a list of blacklisted vouchers

[candid acorn]

yes but that kinda leaves a gap for modded ones

[normal crest]

vouchers just don't have that kind of information on them

[normal crest]

by making a blacklist you'll allow all modded jokers, and theoretically, you can blacklist vouchers for mods you want to be compatible with

[candid acorn]

yea youre right ill do it that way

[normal crest]

i mean vouchers

[candid acorn]

tysm

lets go back to crashing the game

[normal crest]

o7

[wet valley]

I figured out shaders for hue shifting each separate joker part

[wet valley]

You'll probably have a different take on the idea, there's a lot of ways to make it work

I only focused on the graphical side and I have yet to figure out exactly how they're gonna generate effects

[left sonnet]

Hey folks, does anyone know if extern MY_HIGHP_OR_MEDIUMP number time; is updated every frame in mods? I've ported over a Shadertoy shader to Balatro but it seems to be stationary, I use it by itself as well as with sin

[clear ocean]

Are you working on some sort of joker art randomiser

[wet valley]

Joker randomizer period, a set number of random jokers would be added to the pool in a run and get randomized every run

[strong plume]

Hey, I want this tag to only trigger when you use a consumable, doing nothing until then (Like how the double tag does nothing until you get another tag)

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Rn it doesn't crash, but it also never triggers either

(this is how it looks more scrolled down, if that helps)

[wet valley]

HAHAHAH

[tired kestrel]

How do I make it that it says "Applied to all previous stakes" instead of "Applys gold stake"

[stoic void]

return {
descriptions = {
Stake = {
stake_vremade_black = {
name = "Black Stake",
text = {
"Shop can have {C:attention}Eternal{} Jokers",
"{C:inactive,s:0.8}(Can't be sold or destroyed)",
"{s:0.8}Applies all previous Stakes",
},
},

Thats from vanilla remade

put that in a en-us.lua file

and have that in a localisation folder

[tired kestrel]

oh. alright. I have not made the localization folder yet but alright

[stoic void]

you probably should

[tired kestrel]

also I also should also make a localization of all the stuff I've written into

[stoic void]

yeah

probably

[sturdy compass]

Tags are very weird in that they do not use traditional contexts. You will probably need to do something like this to make it work (obviously editing to your needs)

For further context (not the game term), the first screenshot is using a mod calculate object, where Maximus in this case is SMODS.current_mod. Mod calculate is a very nice tool to have once you learn it exists. The loop is the most important part, as this is how tags are typically applied. The type will be the context you’ll look for. In your case, probably type = ‘using_consumable’, and you’d probably run this under the traditional if context.using_consumeable then check. The second screenshot is a tag’s apply code where you will check for context.type == ‘using_consumable’

[tired kestrel]

since I'm doing localize is there a way to reuse this?

[granite jay]

What would be the best way to translate this to a Joker?

Cos I wanna make a joker that turns into one of four specific jokers when blind is defeated

[broken rivet]

is there a context that happens after playing cards are scored but before context.joker_main

[mellow marsh]

trying to make a joker that copies abilities of both adjacent jokers... i feel like this code is correct but it does not seem to be working?

the printed effects table looks to indeed be a proper list of effects (jolly joker and regular joker used here for testing)

granted, i'm referencing doodle from all in jest for this code, and last i played a run with it that joker didn't work either i think lol

ah merge_effects is just yielding nil here hm

oh it's supposed to receive a single table listing the effects, rather than passing the effects in as arguments directly

i feel like that is not documented correctly?

[loud summit]

is it possible to tell if a card triggered another joker

[silver flame]

Hey everyone, sorry to bother you again but I updated my mod with more jonklers and got this wierd crash message

the joker I had was supose to make a negative food joker when blind is selected but the game just crashed

[slim ferry]

code?

[slim ferry]

context.post_trigger and context.other_context.other_card?

or context.other_context.card for some contexts

[gilded narwhal]

Hey now that the joker atlas for my mod is getting REALLY big, it's starting to slow down load time quite a bit. I don't really feel like checking but if I wanted to optimize for loading time, would it be more efficient to split it into multiple atlases?

Idk why it would, just figured id ask

[slim ferry]

and the object type?

[silver flame]

object type?

[slim ferry]

the pool

[slim ferry]

the pool in the joker should not have an extra mod prefix

[silver flame]

oh, all the other jokers have that problem cause thats just how joker forge does things and that wasn't caused problems

[slim ferry]

complain in the joker forge discord

they have a bug reports channel

[dapper sun]

how do i check for an exact hand (instead of containing a hand)

[daring fern]

if context.scoring_name == 'modprefix_key'

[dapper sun]

ty

[ivory citrus]

help still not working

i tried move the card.ability.extra.fuerza = 0 to diferent part but still no working

[daring fern]

You're returning in the second if so the third if is never reached.

[ivory citrus]

Thanks, very grateful

[slim ferry]

idk how optimizing atlases works exactly but that may or may not help

try it and see i suppose

[gusty compass]

what would i be doing wrong here

[dapper sun]

is there an faster way to test things than restarting the game every time i change something

[slim ferry]

Not really

You can use alt f5 to instantly restart the game i guess

[dapper sun]

oh ok

thanks

that does help actually

[dusk cargo]

Is the card id for ace, A?

Nvm.

[dapper sun]

anyone know why pressing the button crashes the game?

-- Shop thingy :)
function create_UIbox_becca()
    return create_UIBox_generic_options({
        no_back = true,
        contents = {
            UIBox_button({ button = "elle_rebecca.exit_shop", label = { "Exit" }, minw = 5, colour = G.C.RED })
        }
    })
end

-- Button Callbacks
G.FUNCS.elle_rebecca = {
    -- Leave shop
    exit_shop = function(e)
        if not e then return end
        G.FUNCS.exit_overlay_menu()
    end
}```

[daring fern]

Log?

[vague crest]

how could i check if a joker is the first one of that specific joker in my joker slots? specifically to fix a bug that happens with part of the code if you have two or more of them, i wanna disable that part of the code if it isn't the first instance of that joker

[daring fern]

if card == SMODS.find_card(self.key)[1]

[loud summit]

hey so how do you directly set the # of chips and mult mid hand

ive tried doing it in a event and not and the next calculation still acts as though it wasnt set

[daring fern]

mult_mod = (-mult)+number

[vague crest]

this worked perfectly tysm!!

[loud summit]

wait arent you supposed to call mod_mult() tho

[daring fern]

No.

[loud summit]

bbbbut vanillaremade explicitly says to

[loud summit]

also whats mult_mod

[daring fern]

It changes the mult, without a message.

[loud summit]

how is that different to just setting mult directly

also do you return it in the table or

[dapper sun]

yea it goes in the return table

[loud summit]

oh

is there a mult_chips too

[daring fern]

You shouldn't do it like that.

[daring fern]

No, it's chip_mod

[loud summit]

oh right

so chip_mod/mult_mod supports negative values but is otherwise identical to mult?

[dapper sun]

i've given the log, any update?

[loud summit]

(and doesnt send a message)

[daring fern]

No, they are the same except mult_mod has no message.

[loud summit]

mult doesnt support negatives tho

[dapper sun]

regular mult/chips also support negatives

yes it does

[loud summit]

????? its done nothing when i tried before

[daring fern]

What line is that in the lovely dump?

[daring fern]

No, it's 996 not 966

[dapper sun]

oh i'm blind :)

G.FUNCS[self.config.button](self)

[loud summit]

        if context.before and not context.blueprint and
            SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "nflame_mcbedrock", 1, card.ability.extra.chance) then

            card.ability.extra.chip = card.ability.extra.chip + hand_chips
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + mult

            return { mult_mod = -mult, chip_mod = -hand_chips, message = localize("k_upgrade_ex") }
        end
``` ok so the mult mod seems to do literally nothing, not even change the scoring number

[dapper sun]

oh i think i see the problem

i don't think i can "elle_rebecca.exit_shop"

[loud summit]

wait is hand_chips and mult set during before?

[daring fern]

context.before is to early to be changing the mult and chips.

[loud summit]

so how would i change it before the first card is scored

[daring fern]

It would be context.initial_scoring_step

[loud summit]

thanks

when exactly does that fire

[daring fern]

Before the played cards score.

[loud summit]

thx :D

how is it different to context.before

[daring fern]

The chips and mult do not get reset if you change them.

[loud summit]

is that the only diff

[faint yacht]

Just G.FUNCS.elle_rebecca_exit_shop directly.

[frosty rampart]

yea pretty much
although it's directly after context.before, so e.g. a space joker to the right of something with context.initial_scoring_step would still fire off before the joker you're making

[loud summit]

hmmm

so context.before for like anything that doesnt affect this hand

and context.initial_scoring_step for anything that does

[frosty rampart]

yep

[loud summit]

ok

also.

mod_mult() vs returning mult_mod, which one should i use??

[daring fern]

Returning is always better.

[loud summit]

aaalr

so just return { mult_mod = newmult - mult } basically

where you want to set it to newmult

[daring fern]

Yes.

[loud summit]

ok cool

[dapper sun]

i don't understand ui i think

function create_UIbox_becca(card)
    return create_UIBox_generic_options({
        no_back = true,
        contents = {
            {n = G.UIT.R, config = {align = "cm", padding = 0.1, nodes = {
                {n = G.UIT.T, config = {align = "cm", padding = 0.1, colour = G.C.GOLD, text = card.ability.extra.test}}
            }}},
            UIBox_button({ button = "elle_rebecca_exit_shop", label = { "Exit" }, minh = 0.6, minw = 10, colour = G.C.FILTER })
        }
    })
end```

[primal robin]

you specified nodes in config which is wrong

[dapper sun]

oh i'm blind lmao

ty

[primal robin]

np

[dapper sun]

how do i get a shadow to appear under my node?

{n = G.UIT.R, config = {align="cm", outline=1, padding=.15, r=.1, emboss=.5, hover=true, shadow=true}, nodes = {```

(the one with an outline)

[ivory coral]

print(count)
print(card.ability.extra.levelreq)
print(count / card.ability.extra.levelreq)
print(math.floor(count / card.ability.extra.levelreq))
print(math.floor(count / card.ability.extra.levelreq) ~= 0)
print('WHAT')

am i going insane or is the math genuinely just not mathing

what do you mean 0 ~= 0

[daring fern]

Do you have Talisman installed?

[ivory coral]

i do
could be that but i dont recall talisman breaking this when i first coded it

ok yeah its talisman
figures, how is it breaking it though

count and levelreq are both always just normal numbers, did they change math.floor somehow?

[daring fern]

Yes, but it doesn't affect normal numbers.

[ivory coral]

actually, count is affected by G.GAME.hands[hand].level its probably that

ok putting a to_big() around count did it
whoops
thanks lad

[vale zinc]

Could any of you say why this doesn't automatically debuff the rightmost Joker during this Boss Blind? I adapted the code from Bunco's The Wind, which disables the leftmost Joker instead.

local LAPSEMS_original_game_update = Game.update
function Game:update(dt)
    --[[
    This is utilized by The Blood.
    --]]
    if G.GAME and G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.name == 'bl_lapsems_blood' and G.jokers and G.jokers.cards then
        if not G.GAME.blind.disabled then
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if i == #G.jokers.cards then
                    G.jokers.cards[i].ability.bl_lapsems_blood_chosen = true
                else
                    G.jokers.cards[i].ability.bl_lapsems_blood_chosen = nil
                end
            end
        else
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                G.jokers.cards[i].ability.bl_lapsems_blood_chosen = nil
            end
        end
    end
    
    LAPSEMS_original_game_update(self, dt)
end

[daring fern]

It's G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key not G.GAME.blind.name

[vale zinc]

Still ain't debuffing it.

[daring fern]

Instead of using G.jokers.cards[i].ability.bl_lapsems_blood_chosen use SMODS.debuff_card

[vale zinc]

Running SMODS.debuff_card(G.jokers.cards[i], true, self.key) crashed the game.
UPDATE: Replacing self.key with 'bl_lapsems_blood' fixed it!

...But now the debuff persists after the Blind is defeated.

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to set the debuff with that source to false in the defeat function of the blind.

[vale zinc]

I did just that...

disable = function(self)
    for _, joker in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        joker.ability.bl_lapsems_blood_chosen = nil
        SMODS.debuff_card(G.jokers.cards[i], false, 'bl_lapsems_blood')
    end
end,

...but the game still crashes.

[daring fern]

Replace G.jokers.cards[i] with joker

[vale zinc]

The game no longer crashes, but the joker doesn't get its debuff removed.

[spiral mural]

cards don't auto debuff

the 2nd value has to be truthy to undebuff

btw

[vale zinc]

If false ain't truthy, then what is?

[spiral mural]

flabbergasted

have you ever

coded before???

[vale zinc]

Yes!

[spiral mural]

tell me

what does the word "truth" imply

[vale zinc]

Nevermind your astonishment at my not grasping these things. What do I do instead?

[spiral mural]

booleans exist

false is one half

true is the other half

in lua, everything but false and nil is truthy (counts as true)

therefor just shove true in there

[vale zinc]

But I already used SMODS.debuff_card(joker, true, 'bl_lapsems_blood') to apply the debuff to begin with!

[spiral mural]

oh wait i think

sorry im stupid

[vale zinc]

Do I swap the true for nil instead?

[spiral mural]

false reads better

so use false

[vale zinc]

I did.

[spiral mural]

try this again but replace _ with i

[vale zinc]

Didn't work.

[daring fern]

Code?

[vale zinc]

I followed @spiral mural's instruction.

disable = function(self)
    for i, joker in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        joker.ability.bl_lapsems_blood_chosen = nil
        SMODS.debuff_card(G.jokers.cards[i], false, 'bl_lapsems_blood')
    end
end,

[spiral mural]

shove in a print statement (and have debug+ installed) and see if its even running

[daring fern]

Do you also have that in defeat?

[vale zinc]

disable = function(self)
    for _, joker in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        joker.ability.bl_lapsems_blood_chosen = nil
        SMODS.debuff_card(joker, false, 'bl_lapsems_blood')
    end
end,
defeat = function(self)
    return self:disable()
end,

local LAPSEMS_original_game_update = Game.update
function Game:update(dt)
    --[[
    This is utilized by The Blood.
    --]]
    if G.GAME and G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key == 'bl_lapsems_blood' and G.jokers and G.jokers.cards then
        if not G.GAME.blind.disabled then
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if i == #G.jokers.cards then
                    G.jokers.cards[i].ability.bl_lapsems_blood_chosen = true
                    SMODS.debuff_card(G.jokers.cards[i], true, 'bl_lapsems_blood')
                else
                    G.jokers.cards[i].ability.bl_lapsems_blood_chosen = nil
                    SMODS.debuff_card(G.jokers.cards[i], false, 'bl_lapsems_blood')
                end
            end
        end
    end
    
    LAPSEMS_original_game_update(self, dt)
end

[spiral mural]

i just think SMODS hates you at this point

[vale zinc]

So, you're stumped?

[daring fern]

print(joker.ability.debuff_sources)

[vale zinc]

Within disable()?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[subtle hawk]

Why is the UI aligning like that. Turned on the outline on the ROOT node specifically to see that it's going outside the create_UIBox_generic_options for some reason??

[subtle hawk]

Nvm I just realized that I can do it without create_UIBox_generic_options and it kinda gives me more freedom

[pastel kernel]

I'm using cryptlib for thislua {"{C:attention}All jokers owned, cards in deck, and consumables owned{} gain {C:attention}x#1#{}values"}

how do i affect cards in deck and consumables

[tired kestrel]

Guys I have a question when it comes to like applied stakes, when you try to make the text into like "Applies to all previous stakes"?

other than having to manually do locazlize ports.

[tired kestrel]

I tried localize in en_us but that didn't work.

I think it worked now.

[wintry solar]

It’ll add the applied line for you iirc

I see. though right now I kinda wished there'D be a way for loc_text to replace the applied gold stake to whatever previous stakes you had

but now I have to basically do the whole localization thing in motion espeically having the custom deck_locked things

eremel do you have an idea on how custom deck_locked worked in general?

What do you mean by this?

And no, not off the top of my head - I don’t really lock anything in the stuff I have made because I don’t think it’s ideal design for modded content

I mean like is there a way to replace "Applies Gold Stake" with "Applies to all Previous stakes"?
