ngl it sounds like you havent played at all

dapper sun
#

yea

wraith jolt
#

Nah two years ago was last time play vanilla, I only play mods now. Banner to block of all regular jokers

dapper sun
#

even playing modded you should know this

#

this is literally basic balatro knowledge

#

😭

hybrid iris
#

bit cruel but yeah this is just like. baseline how it works

#

multiple editions isnt a thing at all i dont believe

#

okay cruel was the wrong wording

dapper sun
#

and the "negative polychrome" here is just how negative looks 😭

hybrid iris
#

but like. yeah editions enhancements and seals you should know this just by playing modded

toxic cave
#

well neither of these work, maybe its the context? in these i did if context.setting_blind is thre a context timing better than that for changing the deck's order

image.png image.png
dapper sun
#

i've not rly modified the deck order before so idk, my only experience messing the deck was a joker that let you see the top 3 cards

#

that was ages ago and i've since removed the joker

#

also i'm out rn shrug

covert estuary
#

DEAR GOD THIS DOCUMENTATION'S GOT HANDS lol

guess I'll take my time to see how I can make this work.

wraith jolt
dapper sun
#

???

wraith jolt
#

I was referring to the fact that I swore I play mod where had negative polychrome cards but then have no evidence

#

So like damn did dream this

#

Or maybe old enough my memory fading

#

With that out the way could be possible to program double editions like double seal mod

Question question

#

Does anyone know how to darken everything behind the ui without using create_UIBox_generic_options

solid salmon
#

is there are way to make sure that certain jokers cant appear as long as an objectType exists

dapper sun
#

how would i go about adding a sprite to a uibox?

dapper sun
subtle hawk
dapper sun
#

fair shrug

#

looking at the code for create_UIBox_generic_options and i don't see an easy way to do it :p

how would i make the game just skip the shop entirely

why would a boss blind skip the shop

#

i'll look at the mod's source

cyan nymph
#

That's an evil as fuck boss blind

dapper sun
#

not rly

#

you can just go to the next blind's shop

gilded blaze
#

just patch G.FUNCS.cash_out

#

replace G.STATE = G.STATES.SHOP with G.STATE = G.STATES.BLIND_SELECT

#

ik but every time i hear the word something indescripable writhes in my brain telling me to use it in every line i possibly can from the stockholm syndrome curse harmony patching has placed on me

dapper sun

patching is usually avoided when necessary, in favor of hooks

#

-# it's necessary here though

stiff locust
#

chat how do i make an effect with an irl timer

#

im specifically wanting a thing where if you dont complete every condition within x time it resets

dapper sun
#

update(self, card, dt)

#

dt is deltatime ofc

#

you could use this to increment a variable to track time

gilded blaze
#

well, the thing is

#

update is affected by game speed

dapper sun
#

ah true

#

you can then just divide the dt by the game speed then

gilded blaze
dapper sun
#

ah

harsh belfry
#

love.update hook ig

dapper sun
#

or do smtn with love.timer idk

#

that isn't affected by game speed

stiff locust
dapper sun
stiff locust
#

what i exclusively play on nopeus 256 with ff everything enabled

#

wont that fuck it up

dapper sun
stiff locust
harsh belfry
#

already got ruled out lmao

harsh belfry
#

because that way you aren’t calling anything to get the dt

gilded blaze
#

hooking either love.update or Game.update is fine

#

since love.update calls Game.update anyway

stiff locust
#

i dont know how any of these things work

sour garden
#

is there a context for when money is spent? looking to make a joker where it creates a tarot card after X amount of money is spent

stiff locust
#

context.money_altered iirc

#

there is one its something like that

#

and inside that context you check context.amount for the amount of money

sour garden
#

found it in smods, thank you!

gilded blaze
#

you can see there are more specific contexts bound to context.money_altered, allowing more precise control of which type you want to trigger your effect

dapper sun
#

anyone know how to make undiscovered cards created with SMODS.create_card() display normally

lilac trail
#

I'm new to modding, and frankly-I find the introduction wiki a little lacking. How do I create a joker card, for all intents and purposes?

dapper sun
#

it's

#

definitely not lacking at all

slim ferry
#

Consider vanillaremade

#

As regerence material

#

I do t have link bevause mobile but someone can send it

gilded blaze
dapper sun
#

ty

#

i've been informed that i don't have to

#

i can just add bypass_discovery_center = true

#

docs don't mention it tho for some reason

crisp coral
#

do the docs ever mention anything /s

hardy viper
#

docs aren't real

stiff locust
#

love.timer is super easy and its not affected by game speed

harsh belfry
#

you just get the dt through the function args

stiff locust
#

does that really matter

harsh belfry
#

a little ig

#

this is every update

stiff locust
#

i think im just gonna do love.timer

#

if problems arise i will switch to something else

#

but for what I need it for this should work

candid acorn
#

is there any easy way to add a function for when you open a pack or do i have to make a patch/hook

#

???

dapper sun
#

wdym

#

a specific existing pack or any pack

#

or your own modded pack

candid acorn
#

specific

#

like when tarots have the use function

dapper sun
#

yeaaahhh that'll be a hook

candid acorn
#

okay time to learn hooks

#

yepe

dapper sun
humble pawn
candid acorn
#

so i think i just hook the open_booster function and see if the booster being opened is the specific one and do some silly thingies when that happens we'll se

dapper sun
versed swan
# candid acorn okay time to learn hooks 
local reference_function = other_function
function other_function(args, ...)
  -- code that runs before other_function
  reference_function(args, ...)
  -- code that runs after other_function
end

local reference_function_2 = Card.other_func
function Card:other_func(args, ...)
  -- code that runs before Card.other_func
  reference_function_2(self, args, ...) -- self IMPORTANT
  -- code that runs after Card.other_func
end
humble pawn
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

candid acorn
dapper sun
#

okii

candid acorn
#

bc theres one function for redeeming opening using etc

#

:)

#

i hope i dont do something pointless that already exists but i thought it didint like yesterday

#

just have to figure out the stupid pack keys bc it always shows its invalid for some reason

covert estuary
#

I got it, thanks!

lilac trail
#

my apologies

dapper sun
#

it's okay

covert estuary
lilac trail
#

perfect, thx

slim ferry
#

moddedvanilla is quite outdated

#

and only has a small set of jokers

lilac trail
#

perhaps, but maybe it's best for learning. I am just dipping my toes in to modding, so I doubt i'll pivot atm

#

wait...

umbral lichen
#

anyone know how to add a custom booster pack that only pulls from a pool of modded jokers? trying to code in a pack for a mod and it isnt appearing in game

lilac trail
#

nvm, I'm dumb haha

candid acorn
#

alr made a simple patch if this works im gonna be suprised

#

ok i forgot the second = in an if that doesnt count

#

ok i forgot to end an if somehow ||i promise im not that stupid|| that doesnt count

lone girder
#

Does anyone know the command for the better debug menu mod that allows you to spawn in stuff?

dapper sun
#

?

#

do you mean debugplus?

#

you just hover over the card you want and press 3

lone girder
daring fern
lone girder
#

Oh

#

Also it seems to be bugging out the ui that has all the informations of the card whenever you hover over them

#

not sure if thats the mod's issue or a conflict with the my mod pack

#

nvm

toxic cave
wintry solar
toxic cave
dapper sun
#

where in the code

toxic cave
#

there i guess?

image.png
#

this discards then draws

#

but i would prefer if it somehow rearranged the deck so it doesnt have to discard

wintry solar
#

you need to do it earlier than first_hand_drawn then

toxic cave
wintry solar
#

it will immediately shuffle the deck after that

image.png
dense fulcrum
wintry solar
#

you could use context.drawing_cards and have an internal flag that you reset at the start of each blind so you only do it the first time

daring fern
dense fulcrum
toxic cave
wintry solar
#

yeah

toxic cave
#

even then it doesnt work

image.png
#

btw th Rigged message still pops up

wintry solar
#

this puts the card at the bottom of the deck

#

iirc

toxic cave
#

fuck gotta do it the other way around then

#

still doesnt work

image.png
wintry solar
#

if this just to move one card to the top of the deck or does it do multiple cards?

toxic cave
wintry solar
#

oh your rigged tracking looks wrong

#

let me rewrite it for you, hold on

# 
for _, _c in ipairs(cards) do
  _c.rigged = true
end

for i = #G.deck.cards, 1, -1 do
  local _c = G.deck.cards[i]
  if _c.rigged then
    _c.rigged = false
    table.remove(G.deck.cards, i)
    table.insert(G.deck.cards, _c)
  end
end
return {
  message = 'Rigged!'
}
#

try that

toxic cave
wintry solar
#

oh that context is misplaced rip

#

this will work soon

toxic cave
frosty rampart
#

it's an issue on SMODS's side and will be fixed in a later update

toxic cave
#

so my current code should work when that happens alright then amma just save this and revert to my old discard then draw and when the fix drops amma release the deck rigging one

ripe thicket
#

Tryna make a joker that does this, but I haven't been able to figure out how to count the number spectral cards in the consumable area

kindred zephyr
#

how do i change the description of a card based on context?

daring fern
kindred zephyr
#

i don't understand, could you clarify?

#

actually let me clarify myself

#

i have this joker in my mod

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'spinner',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Spinner',
        text = {
            "Retrigger all {V:1}#1#{} cards,",
            "suit changes every round"
        }
    },
    config = {repetitions = 1},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {
            localize((G.GAME.current_round.spinner_card or {suit = 'Spades'}).suit, 'suits_singular'),
            card.ability.repetitions,
            colours = { G.C.SUITS[(G.GAME.current_round.spinner_card or {suit = 'Spades'}).suit] }
        }}
    end,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = true,
    rarity = 2,
    atlas = 'jokers1',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 1 },
    cost = 5,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and not context.repetition_only then
            if not context.other_card.debuff and context.other_card:is_suit((G.GAME.current_round.spinner_card or {suit = 'Spades'}).suit) then
                return {
                    message = 'Again!',
                    repetitions = card.ability.repetitions,
                    card = context.other_card
                }
            end
        end
    end
}
#

if card.ability.repetitions ~= 1, i want to change the card's description to

{
    "Retrigger all {V:1}#1#{} cards",
    "{C:attention}#2# additional times{},"
    "suit changes every round"
}
#

do you know how could i do that? @daring fern

normal crest
#

afaik you need to use localization files for that

loud summit
#

how do you change the name of a joker?

#

dynamically i mean

#

or like have two seperate localization files for a joker and swap between them manually

#

In setting up VScode, is hover text supposed to be what is seen when mousing over a variable?

gilded blaze
#

did you mean this

brittle matrix
#

Yes

brittle matrix
# gilded blaze did you mean this

I have written a basic function with comments, and this style of text has not appeared. This text also has not appeared with built in Lua functions either. Would this have to do with formatting?

vague crest
#

running into an expected but nonetheless bizarre issue where this joker DOES work as intended, and wild cards count as glass cards, but when a wild card breaks it doesnt properly "shatter" for glass joker. how would i go about fixing that? sounds a bit involved

I keep getting a crash when i try to change a card into a random face card

daring fern

Also it would be SMODS.change_base(G.hand.highlighted[i], nil, _rank)

#

functionality is pretty much identical to alloy from extra credit

#

it does properly debuff cards though which is nice

daring fern
vague crest
#

it does give true

#

however it doesnt make the shatter noise either, just removes itself like a normal card

oh it doesnt work with el dorado from plantain either

yup just took a look and it works with most others

how would you dynamically add a line to a jokers description

#

in like a seperate box

#

like what ortalab does

pastel kernel
#

Tryna use mod.calculate for this

IMG_1638.png
#

Select UNIK joker, sell Awakening, destroys UNIK joker, spawn stronger UNIK joker I made.

#

How do you check for highlighted joker and then selling a specific consumable?

wind steppe
#

vanillaremade campfire

pastel kernel
wind steppe
#

context.card is the card being sold

daring fern
# pastel kernel Tryna use mod.calculate for this 
if context.selling_card and context.card.config.center.key == 'j_modprefix_key' and G.jokers.highlighted[1] and G.jokers.highlighted[1].config.center.key == 'j_modprefix_key' then
    G.jokers.highlighted[1]:set_ability('j_modprefix_key')

#

Oh so that’s how you write it

#

That’s a lot of dots

gilded blaze

#

it just has multiple tables in its loc vars

this is like a turbo stupid question i think but, is there a quick way to check if a number is prime? i had a joker idea involving retriggering all scored cards if your money is a prime number but the logistics of actually calculating that sounds kinda stupid

cyan dust
#

for small numbers you can just check if anything less than (or equal to) square root of number divides that number

#

for larger numbers there's no easy solution

#

you can keep a table of prime numbers but it consume large amount of memory

Is there a better way to get a single table item, where there's only 1 item in it, and it's formatted as:
{ Hearts = true } ?

Currently I'm just making a new table and inserting its name as the value instead. It's purposefully set up as the name, so that locating suits during processing is a lot cheaper.
Here's the code so far, where suitTable is an aforementioned 1 item table:

    if suitAmount == 1 then
        local single = {}
        for key, _ in pairs(suitTable) do
            table.insert(single, key)

Anyone know why this sticker just applies to all jokers? I have this should apply function, and I have rate set to 0.03, so I'd like it to apply to only 3% of all jokers.

        return true
    end

the rate is ignored if you have a custom should_apply function

#

you'll need to incorporate it into the should_apply (add and pseudorandom("seed") < 0.03 to the conditions in the if statement)

How could I set the sell value of all owned jokers to 0?

    local sc = sc_ref(self)
    
    if (condition) then
        self.sell_cost = 0
        self.sell_cost_label = self.facing == 'back' and '?' or self.sell_cost
    end
    
    return sc
end```
wild escarp
#

Is there a way I could do this from within a joker?

normal crest
#

Yeah, do something to set the condition to true and call every joker's set_cost function

wild escarp
#

Hmm, I've got something like this for my calculate:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.after and G.GAME.chips / G.GAME.blind.chips >= to_big(0.5) and G.GAME.current_round.hands_left <= 0 then
        G.GAME.willatro_saved = true
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            G.jokers.cards[i]:set_cost()
        end
    end
end

and this for my hooked set_cost:

local oldsetcost = Card.set_cost
function Card:set_cost()
    if G.GAME.willatro_saved == true then
        self.cost = 0
        self.sell_cost_label = self.facing == 'back' and '?' or self.sell_cost
    else
        return oldsetcost(self)
    end
end

But it doesn't work, anyone know why? I know for sure the calculate condition is being met, so G.GAME.willatro_saved should be getting set to true. Other than that, idk.

any way to make a boss blind's description change depending on whether its being viewed from collection or in a run?
much like the ox's
Playing a (most played hand) sets money to 0. (in collection)

i tried looking at vanilla remade, but im not entirely sure how it writes the rest of the description

Also you might want to make the condition be a value that each joker has in its ability table, cus right now after your ioker triggers, all cards will have a sell cost of 0 when their cost updates

What do you mean?

# wild escarp What do you mean?

For example, inside the loop do

it's so complete yet so incomplete

or idk how to navigate through it

I know that SMODS.is_eternal is to check if a joker is eternal

however

#

I don't find a function that is called SMODS.is_negative or smth similar

also why can't i just do smth like
G.jokers.cards[index]:is_eternal()
instead of SMODS.is_eternal

why are they separated

usually it is best practice to put functions for a mod inside of a seperate table, which is probably why they did that

Instead of message = 'Upgraded!', try message = localize('k_upgrade_ex').

And you can enclose lua code in backticks thus. Try it for any code you share in messages.

the upgrade part works but the x mult says error idk if there should be anything else in the code for that to work as intended

Instead of Xmult_mod, you need only return xmult. Apart from colour, delete the other return statements. The messages handle themselves.

okay so apparently i was misinformed in thinking that eternal consumables worked by default, does anyone know how i can make them work? i tried looking at both cryptid and entropy for their patches that do this, but i could only find the patches for eternal playing cards there

no, it is SMODS.whatever:take_ownership()

near bay
#

how do i make it so when a card with an enhancement score, every card (doesnt matter the enhancement for them) gets the same enhancement as the card?

#

am I missing something here? the game seems to exit when the card tries destroying itself (not a crash, seems to be a "clean" exit)

i think you need to give a count

slim ferry
#

It can be true as well

dapper sun

That works as 1 level

i dunno what you're trying to do but you're definitely doing the probabilities wrong

how do i make a joker act eternal without the sticker

slim ferry
#

Hook SMODS.is_eternal

versed swan
#

how does main_start and main_end work for multi-box descriptions?

dapper sun
#

it always gets put on the first box

versed swan
#

and there isnt a way to put that stuff in any of the other boxes?

dapper sun
#

not that i know of

versed swan
#

damn, i see

#

thank you

loud summit
#

how would you force a joker to appear debuffed but it still calculates

sick panther
#

im new to modding, does anyone know whats the best way to handle a simple true/false switch to a joker

#

i have essentially a blueprint clone and a boolean on the extra vars, and i want it to only check when it triggers to turn that boolean to false

loud summit
#

actually how would you make a joker able to buff and debuff itself?

loud citrus
#

Is there any mod that allows for purchasing 1 voucher out of some like 2

loud citrus
loud summit
#

wait how would you make a card debuff itself then undebuff at end of ante then

#

if the end_of_round context is nil

sick panther
#

Why instead of debuffing you dont just, make it not do the thing?

#

why involve debuffing

dapper sun
#

anyone know why this doesn't work

-- Hide the cost
local sc_ref = Card.set_cost
function Card:set_cost()
    local sc = sc_ref(self)
    
    if (self.config.center_key == "j_elle_cassie2") then self.sell_cost_label = '?' end
    
    return sc
end```
loud summit
#

im pretty sure set_cost updates the cost label?

#

wait why are you overwriting Card instead of just putting set_cost in the jokers set_cost

normal crest
#

the label is updated every frame iirc

loud summit
#

so put it in the jokers update func?

normal crest
#

that function runs before it's updated so you'll have to hook update and put it at the end

loud summit
#

hook update?

#

like the joker's update func?

normal crest
#

are you and slimestuff working in the same mod

does anyone know how to deal with edge cases where you want to tell if a SMODS.blueprint_effect trigger happened but there is no return value to it?

#

you cant check for everytime it is called because it triggers on pretty much everything

#

edge cases in question are things like perkeo and abstract joker

daring fern
sick panther
#

yes i know

#

but i want to have a joker that essentially acts as a blueprint but only activates once per ante

#

and the code i have works fine for everything except perkeo and abstract joker, and probably other edge cases i havent seen

where card.ability.extra.active is a boolean

oh jeez hold on

#

oh wow it works man thanks a lot

#

hmm actually when i buy a joker it goes inactive

#

perhaps it is better to try to hook SMODS.blueprint_effect?

#

anyways i had no idea you could just override function like that ill try just forcing a return for every blueprinted copy

how would I be able to get the set_blind effects of vanilla blinds?

sick panther
#

anyone know where the vanilla joker keys are stored in the source code?

#

or the wiki

shrewd cobalt
#

Which part of the gold card's code actually determines how much money it gives? Changing h_dollars in center.config doesnt seem to change anything

frosty rampart
#

changing center.config won't do anything to the actual card, you have to change context.other_card.ability.h_dollars
