[daring fern]

if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.current_round.discards_used == 0 and context.main_eval

[golden field]

this will cause it to make 1 right

[daring fern]

Yes.

I have this function I want to call it when every consumeable has been load so I can update them

but idk what function I should hook

[golden field]

question: how do i do an action to the last scored card in a hand

[final jewel]

if G.play.cards[i] == G.play.cards[#G.play.cards] then

something like this idk

[daring fern]

if context.individual and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[#context.scoring_hand]

[daring fern]

SMODS.injectItems

[final jewel]

ok nice thx

[golden field]

thanks

[golden field]

so context.scoring_hand[#context.scoring_hand] is the last scored card in a hand

[final jewel]

I got this crash

[frosty rampart]

something[#something] is the last object in any table named something
because #something is the length of any table named something, and lua tables are 1-indexed

[daring fern]

Code?

[final jewel]

284 is the first line of the function

[daring fern]

It should be G.P_CENTERS not SMODS.Consumeable

[final jewel]

yeah but I just want to apply it to consumable

[frosty rampart]

let's break it down
bad argument #1 to 'pairs': something about the function call to pairs is wrong, in particular the first argument
(table expected, got nil): SMODS.Consumeable is nil, not an actual table. because SMODS.Consumeable doesn't exist (and even if there was a table of all consumables that SMODS added, it'd be SMODS.Consumeables by convention)

[frosty rampart]

are there any non-consumables that have giga_data.astral_base in them?

if not, then there's no problem with going through all the centers

[final jewel]

no

oh yeeah but its looping thru (Idk how to write this work mb) unneccessary

[frosty rampart]

it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, it'll be very fast because it doesn't do anything on the centers you don't care about

?

on smods 1016c

[final jewel]

but yeah idk why my thing is so hard to do

eris shouldnt spawn if their is already an astral eris

Anyone know how to make a card's cost half in shop?

Two astral planets is an insane pull lmao

[daring fern]

Hook Card:set_cost

[granite jay]

Really? it has to be a hook?
I mean, I'm willing to do it but it's just odd that there isn't an actual thing in SMODS to override it easier.
Ah well.

[final jewel]

now the generation work but how do I fix that when I have telescope its always giving me the astral instead of the normal one

there's already a PR for that btw

[storm kraken]

hey guys where would i find the list of every game color

[chrome widget]

In your IDE search for self.C = {

It applies the whole color table during some initial setup

Don't remember if it's in prep_stage or what

[storm kraken]

awesome

[pastel kernel]

how do i randomize probabilities? (to a reasonable value)

[storm kraken]

staring at balatro code to figure out shop ui wasnt such a good idea after all

-# ive learnt nothing

[lyric maple]

how do you change a card's properties after scoring
-# context.scoring_hand doesn't seem to work

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[lyric maple]

change a card to a random suit and rank (currently, for temporary testing, changes the card's rank to an ace) after scoring

oh wait i might be stupid hold on

okay it does work now

you can put the delay() in the event manager to delay the reshuffle animation right

[storm kraken]

it delays everything in the event

[lyric maple]

yeah since it changes to an ace i can just put the delay(x) at the end and it will show the card for x seconds right

[golden field]

to aces is insane if you know the context of this 😭

[pastel kernel]

how do i randomize probabilities?

(if cryptlib is required i do have it)

[lyric maple]

i can't juice up the card in the event...

i want the juicing event after the card transforms but this doesn't seem to work hold on

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.after and context.cardarea == G.play and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'ijsj_hazy_r', G.GAME.probabilities.normal, card.ability.extra.odds) then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    assert(SMODS.change_base(card, nil, 'Ace'))
                    card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
    end,

[daring fern]

You mean you want to randomize all probabilities once, or randomize them every time they are called?

[pastel kernel]

using a consumable

all yea

[daring fern]

Yes, do you want to set all probabilities to the same random number or set all probabilities to different random numbers, also you mean you want to do it once when the consumable is used?

[pastel kernel]

when the consumable is used, all probabilities are immediately changed, different numbers

[pastel kernel]

eris you know anything about chance manipulation?

[daring fern]

Hook or patch SMODS.is_eternal

[daring fern]

What happens if you print G.GAME.busterb_randomized_probabilities?

[pastel kernel]

print(G.GAME.busterb_randomized_probabilities)?

chance is still locked at 1 in 2 (using bloodstone here)

[dapper sun]

returning to this as i had to go to eep, does it have to be a Card:update hook or can i use the joker's update function

nvmd i just saw what msg it was replying to

[slim ferry]

what part of the function should i be looking at? it doesnt seem to be checking a set or cardarea at all, but it still returns false on consumables

[daring fern]

The line before return ret

[daring fern]

What happens if you print in the if in SMODS.current_mod.calculate?

[dapper sun]

if you're just changing what it returns, then you may as well just use a hook

[dapper sun]

like here's my eternal hook for this joker

local eternal_hook = SMODS.is_eternal
function SMODS.is_eternal(card, ...)
    local eh = eternal_hook(card, ...)
    
    if (card.config.center_key == "j_elle_cassie2") then return true end
    
    return eh
end```

[pastel kernel]

wha

ok wait

[daring fern]

No, they're trying to make it work on consumables.

[dapper sun]

ah

the if not card.config.center.eternal_compat and not ovr_compat then ret = false end

[pastel kernel]

It doesn’t return “if!”

[dapper sun]

how do i get when the score's on fire?

[storm kraken]

uhh you could just check for if your blind chips are greater than the blind requirement

please help how do i ui i wanna make a menu like grim's skill tree

💔

[dapper sun]

dw i was told how

hey why isn't it embedding now

[queen crescent]

what letter do quips use

[storm kraken]

oh theres just a check for that??

awesome

[tranquil cypress]

i think its just modprefix_key

[storm kraken]

ehh

i think its modprefix + lq/wq + key

[queen crescent]

lets try

nothing

[pale holly]

could someone tell me please how i can do the separation between two texts ? i want to give a space between "Gain an [...] the round" and "Boss Blinds give no reward"

   ```lua
 loc_txt= {
    name = 'Jam Sybil',
    text = {    "Gain an extra {C:money}$#1#{}",
    "by remaning {C:red}discard{}",
    "At the end of the round",
        "{C:attention}Boss Blinds{} gives no reward",
},},

[daring fern]

You mean a multi-box?

[pale holly]

probably that i think
The description staying within the joker 'box' but separated (but not outside like the enhancements descriptions for exemple

[daring fern]

loc_txt = {
    name = 'Jam Sybil',
    text = {
        {
            'Gain an extra {C:money}$#1#{}',
            'by remaning {C:red}discard{}',
            'At the end of the round',
        },
        {
            '{C:attention}Boss Blinds{} gives no reward',
        }
    },
},

[pale holly]

Oh i see, thanks a lot

[storm kraken]

oh so thats how you get 20 billion white boxes in one info box

interesting

[slim ferry]

Do the sticker weight variables in G.GAME (e.g. G.GAME.rental_rate) get auto-generated for modded stickers, or do they only exist for vanilla stickers

[daring fern]

No, G.GAME.rental_rate is how much money you lose from rental.

[dapper sun]

how do you change an atlas's texture path in runtime?

[elder rune]

how would one change how much interest you get

I've checked balatro's code and it seems hardcoded as far as I see

or well I got a weird idea

nah

[dapper sun]

what is it you're trying to do with the interest

also is that the vanilla code or the lovely dump

[wild escarp]

How would I check when a card with a certain sticker is added to the deck within that stickers code.

[daring fern]

Hook Card:add_to_deck

[wild escarp]

How would I get whether or not a card has the sticker when added to deck?

[daring fern]

if card.ability.modprefix_key

[ripe oak]

real quick but how do I check what the current deck being used is, for an if statement?

[junior tapir]

for me works if G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == "b_modID_deck" then

[wild escarp]

Is there a way to get the rank of a stone card? get_id() does not return an actual rank off a stone card.

[junior tapir]

how about card.base.id

[dapper sun]

what's the button callback for entering a blind?

found it

[chrome widget]

I've always wondered what the specific use of stone cards returning a random number is

[junior tapir]

Does anyone have the slightest idea why one works and the other doesn't? (it should technically turn every joker square if it is already not square)

    if not G.jokers.cards[i].ability.name == 'Square Joker' then
      -- so 
      -- G.jokers.cards[i].ability.name ~= 'Square Joker'
      -- works, but
      -- not G.jokers.cards[i].ability.name == 'Square Joker'
      -- doesn't
      play_sound('whoosh1', 0.55, 0.62)
      G.jokers.cards[i]:set_ability("j_square")
    end
  end```

[elder rune]

$1 per $3 instead of $1 per $5, and from vanilla code

[tall wharf]

i do

it has something to do with not operator takin priority

so your not G.jokers.cards[i].ability.name == 'Square Joker' lua interprets as (not G.jokers.cards[i].ability.name) == 'Square Joker'

which should always be false

also i advise for you to check for joker's key instead

[chrome widget]

God I hate this little thing. I don't know how many times I've been caught out by this

But yeah in cases like this it's correct to use ~= operator

[junior tapir]

I actually have implemented a patch for that, my mod is CTEH_mod on github and the file about interest rate is lovely/interest_rate.toml, I've also changed in the localization the To the Moon description to include the new parameter

[elder rune]

coolio

[mystic river]

probably so they don't accidentally form straights or oaks

i have no idea if that actually holds in the game as released but there's all sorts of artifacts in the code that make it clear changes were made

[chrome widget]

Does the vanilla random function ensure that successive random calls are never identical?

Because funnily if it didn't, I wonder if you could get ultra Uber lucky and accidentally score an oak because all the stone cards returned the same id at the time of calc

[spiral mural]

how on earth do i make SMODS.calculate_individual_effect return MULTIPLE effects

[chrome widget]

Use SMODS.trigger_effects() instead

[spiral mural]

?

you can't just say something without explaining yourself!

[spiral mural]

????

[chrome widget]

No I mean, if you need multiple effects calculated, you use trigger_effects, which itself calls calculate_individual_effect for each key in the return tables

Trigger effects takes a list of return tables

Actually I might be wrong, it might just be SMODS.calculate_effects

[spiral mural]

what i'm trying to do here is have a "dual" effect where mult also gives chips

i already have a table that swaps around keys

[round lion]

how the hell do i modify evaluations

[chrome widget]

Hmmm so like universally?

[spiral mural]

yea

doesn't matter where it comes from

[spiral mural]

i also need some way to see if the given mult/chips was from the swapping

so no stack overflow, duh

[chrome widget]

Mmmmm yeah might be a little harder. I do think the best idea is to hook SMODS.calculate_effect() and check the effect table passed into it. That should be equivalent to what you'd expect a calculate return table to be. So if you do your thing to swap to the other key if it's not present (chips vs mult), you can then return something as a flag in the function's ret table to indicate that the swap has occurred?

Dunno how effective an explanation this is, but that sounds like what I'd do

[round lion]

how do i modify a joker's calc ulations before it is added to total score

[subtle merlin]

Bump

[round lion]

is there any way to set a card's extra table during creation?

[slim ferry]

is the card doing that itself or to other cards?

[round lion]

im trying to modify the extra table with smods.create_card

[slim ferry]

SMODS.create_card returns the created card

so you can store it in a local variable and then add onto the extra table after

[spiral mural]

this is just how i did it

    if theres_a_mindware and not effect.from_mindware then
        local new_effect = Copy3(effect)
        new_effect[key] = nil
        new_effect.from_mindware = true
        local is_chips = MyDreamJournal.chipmodkeys[key]
        local is_mult = MyDreamJournal.multmodkeys[key]
        local is_additive = ((is_chips == "add") and true) or ((is_mult == "add") and true)
        local new_amount = amount
        if is_additive and is_chips then
            new_amount = new_amount/7.5
        elseif is_additive and is_mult then
            new_amount = new_amount*7.5
        end
        new_effect[MyDreamJournal.chipmultopswap[key]] = new_amount
        SMODS.calculate_effect(new_effect, scored_card, from_edition)
    end

this is inside calculate_individual_effect btw

[chrome widget]

Hm! I guess that does also work

[spiral mural]

copy3 is just a table copying function since idk how much detail i can lose 💔

[spiral mural]

the only issue is

that the converted value shows up BEFORE the actual one

[slim ferry]

does SMODS also support negative values for G.GAME.modifiers.scaling?

[spiral mural]

but that just seems unfixable 💔

[chrome widget]

Yeah cause unfortunately you're inserting something before the previous calc has finished

[spiral mural]

how do i add in a info_queue for a modded edition

[round lion]

jalatro how do i modify jokers' scoring

as in how do i modify the values they returne

d

i cant find anything in documentation about

it

[faint yacht]

...context.post_trigger, checking context.other_card and modifying resulting context.other_ret? 🤔

-# iirc that way-

-# Need to enable post_trigger optional feature tho.

[round lion]

what do you mean other ret is stored in t he card

[faint yacht]

if not context.post_trigger and not context.retrigger_joker_check and SMODS.optional_features.post_trigger then
  SMODS.calculate_context({blueprint_card = context.blueprint_card, post_trigger = true, other_card = card, other_context = context, other_ret = ret}, post_trig)
end

[slim ferry]

modifying context.other_ret.jokers does work, though i recommend hooking SMODS.calculate_individual_effect where possible

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/06881c98299e0f527cde0dfa38666faa3b4c3e0b/items/hooks.lua#L478-L523

[sick panther]

is there a debug mod that adds a hotkey to restart the game

or a hotload mod?

[slim ferry]

exists in base steamodded

alt + f5

[faint yacht]

If you're working with a localization file and want to see the changes w/o restarting game with DebugPlus present,

eval G:set_language(); G:init_item_prototypes()

[thorny lion]

oh thats quite helpful

i wanted something like that

[round lion]

hold M

when using smods

[dapper sun]

o damn fr

didn't know that one

alt-f5 is faster

only downside is how easy it is to fatfinger alt-f4 instead

[thorny lion]

context is annoying

[obtuse lynx]

new to texture modding - are cards displayed on a white background? and then other effects (gold, steel) just replacing the white background? So transparency is needed on assets to see underneath?

[lament agate]

how would i make a hook to call a function so that it plays a custom sound whenever the score catches on fire

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

is it possible?

[tranquil cypress]

I don't know if this is the best way but you could maybe use SMODS.current_mod.calculate like this:

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self,context)
    if context.after and SMODS.last_hand_oneshot then
        print("[play sound]")
    end
end

[elder rune]

Definitely

[lament agate]

let me try

[lament agate]

so like this works but

the sound overlaps 😭

i only want them to play once

and it doesnt stop when the scoring ends too

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
    if SMODS.calculate_round_score() > G.GAME.blind.chips then
        play_sound("hs_highscoring", 1, 1)
        G.GAME.highscore_hit = true
    end
    if context.after then
        G.GAME.highscore_hit = nil
    end
end

this is what it looks like

[tranquil cypress]

oh right

hmm

[lament agate]

hmmmm

maybe a loop?

[tranquil cypress]

maybe

[lament agate]

hmmmmmmm

[tranquil cypress]

oh wait im trying that and it seems like it doesnt work

you could have a flag for when its playing or not

[lament agate]

but thats a flag tho

it works on my end

[tranquil cypress]

oh thats good

[lament agate]

but of course it doesnt stop after scoring

[tranquil cypress]

oh i realised you could do
if SMODS.calculate_round_score() > G.GAME.blind.chips and not G.GAME.highscore_hit then

now just need a way to stop music

[lament agate]

mhm

[tranquil cypress]

you could try use this SMODS.Sound:create_stop_sound(key, times) in context.after

[lament agate]

yeah sure ill try that

does anyone have any idea how to mess with the fire color?

[gaunt folio]

is it possible to make consumables do things if still in hand? still WIP for now but I want to make it increase blind size slightly as theres no way to sell this specific card until the money amount has been paid off

Use the calculate function.

aight

fixed the context, does the increase now

Sooo hands now show up in the collection
Say I take ownership, non-silently, of 5oak so that if i play a 6oak it displays "Six of a Kind", is there a way to display 6oak in the collection instead of 5oak? And subsequent question, if I also make it display 7oak, is there a way to add both 6oak and 7oak in the collection even if they're technically just renamed 5oaks?

[daring fern]

how do i add lines to localization that only appear when certain mods are installed

[ashen drift]

just set a global variable for it smh my head

nvm you actually did use it but you didnt check for it for some reason

you can put a not G.GAME.highscore_hit check in the caught on fire check so that it only runs once when its on fire

those who know

is it supposed to be at the check

because the first part is always truthy

[spiral mural]

what

explain to me what you are trying to solve

[ashen drift]

SMODS.find_card always return a table which is truthy

[spiral mural]

i forgot next()

💔

also what the fuck is
local clubs = "Clubs"
local spades = "Spades"

Hello ! Got an issue with my joker, it's meant to give a blue seal on a random card in hand after using a planet card, it did worked but would happen that it can do on a card with a seal on it already (and even if it is a blue seal), tried to fix that but got this crash error now so if someone could help that would be appreciated ^^

[daring fern]

If c.seal == nil that means the card doesn't have a seal.

[pale holly]

oh wait, yeah i've done it wrong ops

though i don't think it should crash since it's appanrelty sealed_card that got the nil value

[daring fern]

Yes, because no_seal would be empty if none of the cards had seals.

[pale holly]

 local no_seal = {}
    for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
        local has_seal = false
        for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do
            local c = G.hand.cards[i]
            if c.seal ~= nil
            then has_seal = true
            end
         end
         if not has_seal then
            no_seal[#no_seal + 1] = playing_card
         end
    end

i made the fix and now any card that have a seal count as havign a seal, normally now in that case even if all cards in hand had a seal, it wouldn't crash right ?

[daring fern]

No, it would crash, because no_seal would be empty if every card had a seal.

[pale holly]

Ah i see, guess i'll need a nul check on this

Well i just noticed my game woudl crash the moment one of my cards had a seal, i think i messed up somewhere

[pale holly]

       calculate = function(self, card, context)

            end
         end
         if sealent then
            no_seal[#no_seal + 1] = playing_card
         end
    end
        
   if #no_seal > 0 then

                return true
            end
        }))
    end
    end
    end

Well i'll admit i don't get what i did, now it'll seal the same card with a seal and will crash if all cards got a seal, i suppose for the sealing the same card with a seal is about the for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do part but for the nil check i tried to do something but ended up wrong somehow ?

well the nil check has been fixed so that's that

in the end i managed to fix it and the fix was easier than i did think it'll be

is there a way to initially set badges on a joker? like I want to have the badge "Art: Person A", & "Code: Person B", etc.

[dapper sun]

look at smods documentation

there's a function for setting badges

[hardy vessel]

Trying to make a joker that gives cards chips when they are given a different enhancement than they had before. I have no issues with that.

However, I don't want the effect to go off when a card is copied (like by Death or DNA). That is my current problem. I added a patch to make context for when a card is copied, and it works just fine.

[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
priority = 0

# Calcute copy_card
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/common_events.lua"
pattern = '''new_card:set_base(other.config.card)m'''
position = "after"
match_indent = true
payload = '''SMODS.calculate_context({copying_card = true})'''

But it doesn't work with the joker itself and I'm not sure why

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_ability and not context.unchanged and not context.copying_card then
            context.other_card.ability.perma_bonus = (context.other_card.ability.perma_bonus or 0) +
                card.ability.extra.chips
            return {
                message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            }
        end
    end

[lilac trail]

I want to make a mod with a joker that will swap the chips for the mult (the values that is)

How would I do that?

[slim ferry]

have you actually made the mod itself

because the joker should be extremely simple

[lilac trail]

I am working on it atm, actually

I just gotta get lua setup in VSCODE for syntax highlighting

[stiff locust]

neither of these prints are being printed (the rest of the code isn't running either) what's wrong with this code

[lilac trail]

I actually, have never done a mod before (I do know lua pretty well) -

[stiff locust]

someone did this already

[lilac trail]

umm okay?

[stiff locust]

i dont remember what mod it was either morefluff or sdm0's stuff it's the blahaj you can go reference it

[lilac trail]

I'm okay, I'm looking at the docs rn

[harsh belfry]

its so done already that its already in smods

as a calculation return

[stiff locust]

fr?

[harsh belfry]

swap = true

[stiff locust]

wow

[harsh belfry]

thats actually vanilla

but its never used

[lilac trail]

oh damn

okay, that makes my life easier

[stiff locust]

mightve been plasma related at some point

[stiff locust]

bump help

[lilac trail]

Where do I put this? I'm looking in the docs rn, but I'll double check

[harsh belfry]

its a calculation return

like mult = 10

[lilac trail]

Okay, I'll have to look into that - I'm new to modding

[white hull]

hey y'all, i updated steamodded to the new release, and there's now a warning in my code that the second return of the pseudorandom_element function cannot be assigned to a variable. how would i fix this?

the joker this is from actually seems to still work fine, but like, what's up

[lilac trail]

Is it just a syntax error?

[slim ferry]

there are a lot of mods that do this

because you can just return swap = true

[stiff locust]

yeah i didnt know that it was that common

[white hull]

i don't really know what to make of it lol

or like what even changed

[slim ferry]

this is just vscode warning you that _index can be nil, and table.remove must have the second argument be a number

[lilac trail]

Does the mod work at least?

[white hull]

i just did tonumber(_index) and the warning is gone

so i guess that's fine?

but i dunno why it wants me to do this now since it was fine before the update

[white hull]

yeah!

[slim ferry]

i dont think thatll fix it if _index is nil

but yellow warnings can usually just be ignored

[white hull]

i guess it's fine... lol

[slim ferry]

try looking in the logs to see where your mod is being loaded

usually itll give the reason for skipping a mod

[lilac trail]

might be my dependancies I changed

[slim ferry]

(also kinda unrelated but if youre going to do more modding i HIGHLY recommend using vanillaremade as a reference for most things https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade)

[lilac trail]

I;ll take a look

[slim ferry]

does the mod show up in the mods menu at least?

[lilac trail]

nope

[slim ferry]

prefix might need to be a non-empty string

same with the badge and badge text colours

[wintry solar]

I think it's the prefix

[lilac trail]

I put a basic prefix

j2tm

okay weird

it's using my .vscode/settings.json file

okay now it works

...wweird

[delicate pivot]

I have an weird question. I was looking through the smods GitHub wiki, specifically this: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Atlas -- would this be able to overwrite the sprites the game uses for the default cards? Specifically the blank white card that gets used for the cards in hand. Deck skins don't feature the white card back and instead are just the overlay part of the card, I want to completely overwrite the white part of the card with a new sprite. Any ideas? I can explain further if needed.

[slim ferry]

youre probably best off making a #1300851004186820690 texture pack

[delicate pivot]

I already use Malverk for the jokers, can Malverk accomplish this too or is that not part of Malverk?

[slim ferry]

it can

the white card sprite is also a card on its own and can thus be retextured

[delicate pivot]

I tried overwriting the blank card on the "enhancements.png" or whatever it is called and it didn't work. Is there another approach to overwrite it? I'm still new to the modding scene.

[slim ferry]

just make an AltTexture with malverk that only changes c_base

[delicate pivot]

I never tried that. Is there an example that I could refer to? Like another pack that does that exact thing? If you can point me in the right direction that would be great.

[slim ferry]

you already have a malverk texture pack right?

jusy do the same thing again

[delicate pivot]

I have a pack that skins the jokers with my own textures already

One that I am making I mean

[slim ferry]

you can just do ```lua
AltTexture {
key = 'whatever',
set = 'Default',
path = 'spritesheet.png',
keys = {
'c_base' = true
},
}

and then just have the spritesheet be a single card sprite being the retextured base card

[delicate pivot]

So that would overwrite the blank white part? I'll try that in a little bit and if it works, you're a life saver. My texture pack will be very neat. My main issue is that I could never get rid of the white part with my own texture. I think I could figure it out with this to help, thanks

Another small question. Could this also be expanded to all the card enhancements too? I've only used Malverk for Jokers so far so I don't know the full capabilities of it yet.

[slim ferry]

you can use malverk for any sprites

[delicate pivot]

Ok, that helps. Thank you

[chrome widget]

Oh yeah @gaunt thistle question, can you default the lovely console to appear on another monitor than the main Balatro window?

[gaunt thistle]

... hmm

It's a native console so.. probably?

I would need to spawn the console, somehow get the console's window handle, and then translate it to the second screen

it would be complicated 😭

[chrome widget]

That's alright, mostly wanted to know if that was already supported

[gaunt thistle]

yeah, not currently. if we ever do a console UI (instead of the windows one) then itll be a lot easier

i have NO clue whats happening here

also nice vibe code

[humble pawn]

What the

[limber igloo]

someone gave me a fix but im not good at coding so idk what to do with the fix he gave me

[winter flower]

first off

[limber igloo]

oh

i did not know that

i am very sorry

[lime thorn]

based

[winter flower]

also what is the issue that you're dealing with

[sick panther]

dude if your jokerforge joker doesnt work and you cant use the help that was given to you i think you should try learning how to make mods with lua

[limber igloo]

i should

[sick panther]

especially considering jokerforge can only do so much

[winter flower]

jf is only good for starting at the VERY BASICS of balatro modding

-# and even then it's still ass

[limber igloo]

bascially when i play a card with gold and a gold seal i want it to retrigger 2 times, and the same when held in hand at end of round, and when first hand of round contains 1 card (dna) i want it to give it gold and a gold seal, the problem was that the retrigger when played didnt work, the held in hand one did tho

[winter flower]

ok im most likely just gonna recode half of this because jf code is dogshit

[limber igloo]

thanks

[winter flower]

that is if i don't fall asleep midway through

[olive path]

i'm trying to make a joker that has an effect whenever a spectral pack is skipped, but i can't figure out how to tell if the pack being skipped is a spectral pack specifically
tried using if G.STATE == G.STATES.SPECTRAL_PACK but that didn't work
does anyone know a solution?

[daring fern]

if context.booster.kind == 'Spectral'

[olive path]

thank you

[winter flower]

nvm

[limber igloo]

ur not recoding it?

also can someone pls teach me lua, ive looked at vids b4 and just straight up didnt understand

[uncut urchin]

I'm trying to make animated standard deck. I can animate single cards for each suit, but I can't figure out how to animate multiple cards per suit. Does anyone know how to do it?

[lapis turtle]

In my experience, and this may not work for you, but for me it helped to look through a working mods jokers and look at how they are done and use that to understand how different effects are done, but idk may not help you

Could use some help here if anyone's up, I'm making a ridiculously dumb mod where the assets are all screenshots, I would love to make a border effect on all the photos to make them look like legit jokers but I don't want to individually do all 50 of them, anyone got a suggestion and maybe a frame I could use for reference?

[limber igloo]

ill try that thanks

[lapis turtle]

Might be a bit boring ngl but it worked for me lol

[limber igloo]

any mods reccommended that have simple jokers?

[lapis turtle]

Hmm ill lyk which one I did when im off work lol

I feel like it was cryptid but I could be wrong idr

[loud summit]

hi so

whats the difference between kind and group_key in boosters

[shrewd cobalt]

When using quantum enhancements, how do I make a card also show the description and label of the enhancement its copying?

[daring fern]

Patch generate_card_ui

[shrewd cobalt]

🫡

[gaunt folio]

how can I track how much money is spent so far? The plan is for this to increase blind size until the $60 has been repaid

[loud summit]

oh yea how does the AUT table in generate card ui work

[loud summit]

you could use context.buying_card i think that gets passed how much money you spent

[gaunt folio]

I need the amount of money spent

[daring fern]

context.money_altered

[loud summit]

oh

[gaunt folio]

so like if a $5 item is bought the amount needed to pay off goes down by 5

[loud summit]

if i were to overwrite gnerate_card_ui how would i call the original version of it

and WHAT DOES AUT DO

[gaunt folio]

I want the owed amount at the bottom to go down by 1 per dollar spent, such as a 5 dollar item reducing owed amt by 5, how can I do that?

[daring fern]

You would save the old function in a variable then call that.

[daring fern]

if context.money_altered and context.amount < 0 then
    card.ability.extra.variable = math.max(card.ability.extra.variable-context.amount, 0)
end

[gaunt folio]

thanmk

ok it reduces if cashing out, how can i circumvent this

eh know what it works

[lilac trail]

How can I automatically give me the joker in my run for testing purposes?

[loud summit]

debugplus

[lilac trail]

send a link if you can

[loud summit]

hover over the joker in the collection and press 3

[lilac trail]

oh nvm

haha

[gaunt folio]

a bit of math later and now it does what i wanted

if you cash out it doesnt add to the loan but if you buy it subtracts

[lilac trail]

3 as in the keypad 3, or does it not matter?

[loud summit]

it doesnt matter i think

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[lilac trail]

Okay, it's not discovered, but is this an issue?

[loud summit]

oh uh press 2 to discover it

[gaunt folio]

it added money when cashing out, i just tweaked it to work with my vision i was intending

[lilac trail]

How do I enable debugplus or is this a mod?

[daring fern]

Yes, and I fixed it.

[daring fern]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664

eh fair enough

[gaunt folio]

its a mod

[loud summit]

dp is a mod

[lilac trail]

thanks

Also, I use Aseprite for pixel art. How can I export a png as 2x the size for the 2x folder?

[shrewd cobalt]

is there like a list of all contexts cause I have never seen context.money_altered in the smods wiki before

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/lsp_def/utils.lua#L7

[shrewd cobalt]

Oh neat, thank you

[dapper sun]

ctrl-alt-shift + s opens an export menu that lets you set the path and resize amount

[lilac trail]

yeah, I figured it out with some googleing lol

[dapper sun]

nice

[lilac trail]

but thank you so much!

[dapper sun]

also, files will remember your export settings, so, for example, your jokers.png will always have its export settings make the 2x file and in its correct path

[lilac trail]

I see, thanks

[warm umbra]

how do i make it so that something happens whenever you hover over a joker and press a key

[spiral mural]

[lapis turtle]

Anybody know how to make the same changes to a large group of images?

[daring fern]

[warm umbra]

ty

related to that, how would i add a config tab and keybinds

originally wasnt but i thought about it

tried looking at other mods but theres always a bunch of other options so not sure what im looking for

[loud summit]

hii i was wondering

SMODS.Enhancement:take_ownership('gold', {
    generate_ui = function(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)
        SMODS.Enhancement.generate_ui(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)
``` why does this make the variable nil in the description

[loud summit]

what exactly is the difference between generate_ui and generate_card_ui

[spiral mural]

how do i check what deck is currently being used

[loud summit]

how do i take ownership and ADD to a function instead of overwriting

[daring fern]

You save the old function in a variable before you take ownership.

[loud summit]

o

Does anyone know how to make music play when you have a specific joker in your hand? I'm mostly using Joker Forge and it doesn't have that feature, and I tried looking at the Smods API but I have no idea how it works, nor how to code

G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key

problem: G.P_CENTERS.m_gold.generate_ui is NIL

but overwriting it with take_ownership ruins the rest of the ui

is this where that bit from hotpot came from

anyways how do i recalculate the played hand so enhancements/changes score before they were played initially

[umbral zodiac]

it actually came from #1325646527292637194 message

[rapid fog]

How would I implement that into this? Not sure if should send the whole thing in the chat.

[sick panther]

It needs to be implemented in SMODS.Sound

See the code i linked

you check if the joker is owned there

[rapid fog]

Would that be a seperate lua file?

[sick panther]

doesnt need to be

[rapid fog]

So should I put that code in the top of the jokers lua?

Joker Forge seperates the jokers into their own lua files

[sick panther]

oh god jokerforge

[rapid fog]

Or maybe in the main lua

[rapid fog]

Idk how to code 😭

[rapid fog]

I found the lua for sounds. I think I would edit it like this? not sure what the Cryptid_config.Cryptid is. Idk what the mod does in its code

[rapid fog]

I got it to work

[sick panther]

Oh good

Remove the cryptid stuff

its not necessary

you can use fps = whatever now i think

I set it to 10 is that the usual FPS for blinds?

10 is the default for everything, if you want it different set it to whatever otherwise you don’t need it

I set fps to 10 cos my thing had over 42 frames which made the thing go 20 fps

lmfao

[dapper sun]

?

[granite jay]

The cat png

[dapper sun]

yea that's the pfp of the smods github acc

[granite jay]

neat

[vale zinc]

Is this a new update to Steamodded? This doesn't show up for me.

[dapper sun]

yes

[granite jay]

YE

[vale zinc]

How recent? I'm not up-to-date for when i should update my mods.

[pastel kernel]

i forgot how to check for if a boss blind is beaten

[daring fern]

if context.end_of_round and context.beat_boss

[pastel kernel]

do i also add main_eval?

[daring fern]

Yes, if it's not an enhancement, edition or seal.

[lyric maple]

how do i add a juice_up() or a delay before shuffle during context.after

[slim ferry]

like yesterday

[stiff locust]

chat help my code doesnt run

neither print statement shows up

i am very confused

i cant show the full code

[faint yacht]

That's my contribution to SMODS. 😂

[stiff locust]

petition for smods to add loading screen tips

[wintry solar]

What object is it in?

[stiff locust]

a joker

[wintry solar]

Is it in your slots like normal?

[stiff locust]

everything about the joker works

it is in the slots

the sprite and description show up and it doesn't crash when I do anything

its effect just doesn't run and I don't get why

other things that trigger on the same context work

just not my thing

i guess i should find out if other contexts are failing too

[wintry solar]

local output = ""
for k, v in pairs(context) do output = output .. k .. ': ' .. type(v) .. ' / ' end
print(output)

can you throw this at the top of the calc function?

[stiff locust]

will do

its printing a lot of stuff

[wintry solar]

I'm assuming it doesn't print using_consumeable then

[stiff locust]

it does

[stiff locust]

and they printed now

???????

[wintry solar]

this will sound really dumb but try deleting the conditional and typing it again

oh

weird

[stiff locust]

im gonna be annoyed if i remove the other code and it works properly

they printed now

[wintry solar]

was it saved before?

[stiff locust]

maybe not

the rest of the effect isn't working but i think I get why

is g.playing.cards ipairs or pairs

[faint yacht]

G.playing_cards

[stiff locust]

i wrote it correctly in the code

[faint yacht]

ipairs can work, yes.

[stiff locust]

uhhh

[white hull]

is there any way i can trigger effects on debuffed cards? i.e. i want debuffed cards held in hand to give money, but it won't trigger because they're debuffed

[stiff locust]

you should be able to check card.debuffed shouldnt you

[white hull]

well yeah i can do if context.individual and context.other_card.debuff then

but the effect won't actually go off on the card, because it's debuffed

[stiff locust]

ohh my god i'm fuckin stupid

i was changing the joker's perma_bonus value instead of the card's

[stiff locust]

theres a joker that does something like this in a mod i have ill try to find it

[white hull]

it would be very helpful if you could!

[stiff locust]

there it is

in morefluff

[wintry solar]

you can simulate it by iterating over the hand

[white hull]

well this effect goes on the joker, not on the debuffed card itself, so that's not the issue here

[stiff locust]

what

you want the card to do it???

[white hull]

i want the debuffed card to give money so i.e. it can be retriggerable with the mime

[stiff locust]

you might need a context function hook or a lovely patch

i think those would be able to "simulate" the cards giving the effect since they are not on the card

theyd just check for the enhancement or whatever it is you're dong it on?

[white hull]

i can simulate it by counting debuffed cards in the hand and having the joker give the money, yeah, but that's not exactly what i want...

[stiff locust]

mime retriggers in context.cardarea == G.hand doesnt it

[white hull]

yeah

[wintry solar]

just use SMODS.calculate_effect within whatever context you want

you can't calculate debuffed cards though

[plucky berry]

how do i set sticker in SMODS.create_card ?

[wintry solar]

that's the point of debuffed carxs

[white hull]

yeah i guess that's fair enough lol

dang

[plucky berry]

and what's the function to add/remove stickers?

[wintry solar]

Card:add_sticker(key)

for create_card, do stickers = {'key1', 'key2' ...}

probably add force_stickers = true too

[modest jewel]

im yhe best dev fr

0 knowledge about coding

peak

[plucky berry]

and to remove?

[wintry solar]

Card:remove_sticker(key)

[modest jewel]

why do yall type in lua anyways

can't yall just type normally 😞

[stiff locust]

print("beware the {C:attention}pipeline")

[harsh belfry]

i'm not actually seeing anything in the code for calculate effect specifically that blocks it

theres code in the main scoring loop and such but

[modest jewel]

print("code explode")

[wintry solar]

it's this

[harsh belfry]

that isn't even called as far as i can tell

within that file

[wintry solar]

called here

[harsh belfry]

well thats pretty easy to hook isn't it?

[plucky berry]

attempt to call method 'remove_stickers' (a nil value)

[wintry solar]

not to allow debuffed cards to calculate in a very specific circumstance, no

[plucky berry]

i have j:remove_stickers('perishable')

[wintry solar]

remove_sticker, not plural

[plucky berry]

ok im just dum dum then

tnx

[harsh belfry]

i mean can't you just do a global flag and call calculate effect

[white hull]

there is an ignore_debuff argument right there, could i not pass it along from the calculate function somehow...?

[harsh belfry]

its on the context

you could set it on the context object probably

[wintry solar]

no, you can't access this function for the debuffed card from your joker

[harsh belfry]

context.ignore_debuff = true

mayhaps

this is context abuse though and will probably cause ultrajank

[white hull]

would it not reset itself to the appropriate value next time it's used though?

[harsh belfry]

yeah but if other cards are doing calculations they may trigger on the debuffed card depending on when ignore_debuff is set

which i'm going to check actually

yeah it doesn't reset itself after every calc call

[white hull]

so could i save it in a local var and then set it back to what it was after the joker is done?

though idk how exactly i would get the right timing... maybe if i put the whole thing into an event or something

[harsh belfry]

you could but i'm going to try to make a better solution for you

since i really don't like this haha

[white hull]

i'm really not good enough at coding to be making any substantial claims on this lol

[white hull]

i'm intrigued! actually though what is context.ignore_debuff even for? none of the jokers in vanilla remade use it

[harsh belfry]

the context for when a card is debuffed by a blind

[white hull]

i thought maybe flower pot would use it because debuffed cards still count their suits but nope

[harsh belfry]

since that exists apparently

[storm kraken]

new booster pack meta

[white hull]

is being crunchy part of the meta

[storm kraken]

yes

[harsh belfry]

okay so i didn't need to look for anything at all

despite what they said

you can just use calculate_effect on debuffed cards

i tried it

like this:

if card.debuff then
  SMODS.calculate_effect({ what you would put in a calculation return }, card)
end

with this being in a loop looping over the cards

[white hull]

huh

why doesn't the regular calculate return work then?

[harsh belfry]

it might actually

you should try it

[wintry solar]

it wont

[harsh belfry]

but i was not able to test it without coding a whole joker

[white hull]

well here

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and not context.game_over and context.cardarea == G.hand
            and context.individual and context.other_card.debuff
        then
            -- Muhnee buffer
            G.GAME.dollar_buffer = (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0) + card.ability.extra.money
            return {
                dollars = card.ability.extra.money,
                message_card = context.other_card,
                -- Reset muhnee buffer
                func = function()
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            G.GAME.dollar_buffer = 0
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end
            }
        end
    end

this doesn't do anything at all

[wintry solar]

debuffed cards will not be assigned as context.other_card

[white hull]

i'll try it with calculate_effect but i don't see why it would be any different?

[white hull]

oh? huh

[harsh belfry]

yeah thats why i said to loop over the played cards

[white hull]

ohh

alright i'll try it

[plucky berry]

guys is there a way to make a certain consumable set not be copied by perkeo?

[white hull]

alright well, this works! but because i'm now doing it in context.main_eval instead of context.individual, it doesn't interact with the mime

[harsh belfry]

oof. im sure I could try to whip up a solution but I am currently about to be occupied for an hourish

[white hull]

you've already helped a lot, thank you!

maybe i could manually repeat the iterating over cards once for each mime the player has?

then i'd also have to account for bp/bs copying the mime somehow...

[white hull]

i’m wondering why that is? does having debuffed cards in there mess with stuff?

[wintry solar]

that's how thunk wrote the code

it makes more sense to block debuffed cards from being calculated than it does to check whether a card is debuffed in every effect on cards

[white hull]

yeah that’s fair enough

interesting :)

idk what i'm doing wrong

[white hull]

i think it should be saved = true instead of a message

[pastel kernel]

which photo

[white hull]

now here’s another idea. i see that there’s a SMODS.calculate_context() function. from the description i don’t understand what it does, but could i use it to like, calculate context.individual for each debuffed card when i’m iterating through the hand?

[white hull]

in your code

[loud summit]

no its accurate

[pastel kernel]

that's the text for when you're revived, when you're saved by mr. bones, it would say "saved by mr. bones"

[loud summit]

the issue is that saved returns a key to localization.misc.dictionary

you dont put the actual message displayed there

[loud summit]

also is it even possible to fire context.force_trigger during end of round?

[pastel kernel]

that's or

if you're using demicolon, this joker will gain a revive when forcetriggered

[loud summit]

no but

you put the forcetrigger check INSIDE the end of round check

demicolon doesnt trigger at end of round

[pastel kernel]

if (context.main_eval and context.beat_boss) or context.forcetrigger then```

[loud summit]

also why are you running code if the save check failed

[loud summit]

if context.end_of_round then
    if context.force_trigger...```

the inner block isnt run if its not end of round

[pastel kernel]

oh right

i forgot about that

[loud summit]

why are you setting the eemult value at game over also

you can simplify the code a lot by just using the tally + 1 as the eemult number

you have two redundant variables for the same thing

also the description in general is kinda a mess

[pastel kernel]

oh wait i misread that

[loud summit]

gains 1 revive when
boss blind is defeated
lose 1 revive when death is prevented
and gain ^^1 mult
(currently ^^1 and 7 revives)```

you dont need a seperate tally just make it add to the eemult counter

[pastel kernel]

how do i explain this?

[shell timber]

surely it should just be "lose 1 revive"

[loud summit]

exactly

[pastel kernel]

you gain the total tally as ^^mult when death is prevented.

[teal grotto]

eemult?

[loud summit]

oh

[pastel kernel]

ye

[teal grotto]

why don't you just call it like tmult

[loud summit]

hang on

[pastel kernel]

technically, talisman refers to it as eemult

[teal grotto]

oh ok

[loud summit]

gains 1 revive
when boss blind is defeated
lose 1 revive when death is prevented
and gain ^^1 mult
then increase mult gain by 1
(currently ^^1 and 7 revives)```

then just make the gain ^^1 mult a variable too

personally i dont think it needs the exponential scaling but you do you ig

[pastel kernel]

where do i put the gain_mod and mult_mod?

[loud summit]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if
    not context.blueprint and
    (context.force_trigger
    or (context.end_of_round
    and context.main_eval
    and context.beat_round
    and not context.game_over))
then
    card.ability.extra.revives = card.ability.extra.revives + 1
    return { message = "+" .. card.ability.extra.scale .. "revives", colour = HEX("d86a0") }
end

if context.game_over and card.ability.extra.revives > 0 and not context.blueprint then
    card.ability.extra.revives = card.ability.extra.revives - 1
    card.ability.extra.eemult = card.ability.extra.eemult + card.ability.extra.scale
    card.ability.extra.scale = card.ability.extra.scale + 1

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            G.hand_text_area.blind_chips:juice_up()
            G.hand_text_area.game_chips:juice_up()
        end
    }))

    return { saved = "k_whatever_key_you_want" }
end

if context.joker_main then return { ee_mult = card.ability.extra.eemult, colour = HEX("d86a0")```

[loud summit]

?

oh also you probably shouldnt be hardcoding the colour

[pastel kernel]

do i write colour defiitions?

in the main meta file

[loud summit]

you have a custom rarity right

[pastel kernel]

yes

[loud summit]

smods already adds its colour to the global colour table

i assume its like G.LOC_COLOURS.pfx_raritykey

[loud summit]

actually hang on i can make this a bit clener

calculate = function(self, card, context)

if context.joker_main then return { ee_mult = card.ability.extra.eemult, colour = HEX("d86a0") }
if context.blueprint then return end

if
    context.force_trigger
    or (context.end_of_round
    and context.main_eval
    and context.beat_round
    and not context.game_over)
then
    card.ability.extra.revives = card.ability.extra.revives + 1
    return { message = "+1 revives", colour = HEX("d86a0") }
end

if context.game_over and card.ability.extra.revives > 0 then
    card.ability.extra.revives = card.ability.extra.revives - 1
    card.ability.extra.eemult = card.ability.extra.eemult + card.ability.extra.scale
    card.ability.extra.scale = card.ability.extra.scale + 1

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            G.hand_text_area.blind_chips:juice_up()
            G.hand_text_area.game_chips:juice_up()
        end
    }))

    return { saved = "k_whatever_key_you_want" }
end
``` always abuse early returns if possible \:)

now we dont have to check every if block for blueprint since if it was blueprint then it already exited on line 4

[pastel kernel]

oh yeah, i usually tend to not use direct numbers during calculate functions because i have a joker that manipulates values.

[loud summit]

ffair

just replace all the stuff with a static card.ability.extra.whatever

also you can just use localize("k_upgrade_ex") to get the generic "Upgrade!" text, its probably cleaner

[pastel kernel]

is scale the tally?

[loud summit]

yea

[loud summit]

the way this is worded directly adds 1 to how much the mult is scaling by

wait hang on

why are you setting a custom colour for the eemult trigger

[pastel kernel]

careless use of free will i geuss

[loud summit]

lol

[loud summit]

again id say use the global colour table

so its easier to change down the line

[pastel kernel]

wait, the tally starts at 0```lua
if context.game_over and card.ability.extra.revives > 0 and not context.blueprint then
card.ability.extra.revives = card.ability.extra.revives - card.ability.immutable.deduction
card.ability.extra.eemult = card.ability.extra.eemult + card.ability.immutable.tally
card.ability.immutable.tally = card.ability.immutable.tally + 1

isn't it immutable.tally supposed to go first before extra.eemult?

[loud summit]

well when you die for the first time

you only add 1

right

[pastel kernel]

huh, alr

it's context.beat_boss cause it's looking for if the boss blind is defeated

[loud summit]

yea

[pastel kernel]

so why did you write context.beat_round

[loud summit]

oh oops

[pastel kernel]

dawg wtf

[candid acorn]

ik this might be an easy question but how do i change the number of discards/hands/hand size? i think things like vouchers just do it by default just by setting up config, and i want to do it in some other effect

[glass scaffold]

I downloaded the newest SMODS, and any time I use a planet, I keep getting this'

[pastel kernel]

did you check vanillaremade

[glass scaffold]

Hand Size:

[glass scaffold]

And for Hands & Discards

[candid acorn]

tysm

[white hull]

balala font coding :0

[loud summit]

how do i make a vanilla enhancement display the info_queue of another enhancement

[storm kraken]

hmm is that vsc

[lilac trail]

Where is the swap property for jokers and how can I change it to true?

[dapper sun]

it's np++ i think

[storm kraken]

i use np++ and i cant tell
maybe its becayse i only use light mode 😔

[harsh belfry]

eh i mean it matches close enough to vs code

theres like two billion themes

and the indent highlighting (the lines) are the same

[vale zinc]

Why does calling copy_table() on G.jokers.cards trigger a stack overflow?

[white hull]

can anyone explain to me what SMODS.calculate_context() actually does? can i somehow use it to calculate a card under a different context?

[dapper sun]

where would i hook for checking hand type when playing?

it needs to be a hook bc this is for a challenge rule

[frosty rampart]

challenges have calculate functions

[vale zinc]

This does switch around positions of two random Joker cards, but the one moved to the right still triggers before the one on the left. What do I do?

-- self.config.extra.jokers_to_shuffle = 2
calculate = function(self, blind, context)
    if not G.GAME.blind.disabled then
        if context.press_play then
            local table_of_valid_joker_indices = {}
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if not G.jokers.cards[i].pinned then
                    table_of_valid_joker_indices[#table_of_valid_joker_indices + 1] = i
                end
            end
            if #table_of_valid_joker_indices >= self.config.extra.jokers_to_shuffle then
                table_of_valid_joker_indices = LAPSEMS.extract_randomized_elements_from_table(table_of_valid_joker_indices, self.config.extra.jokers_to_shuffle)
                G.jokers.cards[table_of_valid_joker_indices[1]], G.jokers.cards[table_of_valid_joker_indices[2]] = G.jokers.cards[table_of_valid_joker_indices[2]], G.jokers.cards[table_of_valid_joker_indices[1]]
                
                blind.triggered = true
                blind:wiggle()
            end
        end
    end
end

[dapper sun]

it isn't listed on the smods wiki page for challenges

[frosty rampart]

yea the wiki page is outdated

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/discussions/919

[dapper sun]

i see

ty

[shrewd cobalt]

Devs update the wiki and my life is yours!!!

[sick panther]

Oh the wiki is outdated ???

Thats why im having issues following it at times

[toxic cave]

is this a recent thing or smth? cuz every modded challenge i saw (which tbf wasnt alot) only used rules

meanwhile i only used rules for localization and relied on calculate for everything

[frosty rampart]

it was added in august, so still fairly recent

[dapper sun]

also, although i've now put it in a calculate function, i do want to make it a rule at some point

[frosty rampart]

yea you can make challenge rules that just have text and nothing else

[dapper sun]

that's not what i mean

i mean a rule that does something

i've added a rule that's just text but i want an actual rule that does it

[toxic cave]

how do rules even work? i havent figured that out yet

[dapper sun]

you add the rule and it does the thing

for example, my mod has elle_no_shop and adding that to a challenge disables the shop completly

[toxic cave]

yeah so how does that work, i dont think adding a string alone will just obliterate shops

[dapper sun]

i have a patch that checks for the challenge rule

[toxic cave]

i think i recall seeing you post sth like that hold on lemme check

was it this

[dapper sun]

yes

though i've since added edge cases for hotpotato and theencounter(separate mod for hotpot's event system) events, as they usually appear after the shop

[toxic cave]

so from what im seeing rules just get added to the modifiers list in g.game and then when you patch you check for em?

[dapper sun]

yep

[digital cedar]

Where do i begin?

[loud summit]

okuhh question

so for mod probability

how do you get if the triggering object is in an info queue

and getting the card its attached to

[slim ferry]

trigger_obj.fake_card should be true for anything in an info queue

dont think you can get the description its attached to though

[loud summit]

damn

is there any way to set a variable or something when you actually set the info queue in the other card

or is there just no way to do this

[slim ferry]

what is even the goal

[loud summit]

basically im making a joker that makes gold cards act as glass cards with double the chances

and camostar wanted to make it display the glass infoqueue with the doubled probabilities

but the probability check only checks for if a card is both glass and gold, which obviously the infoqueue isnt

and just making all glass infoqueues have double probabilities would look weird

[slim ferry]

you can probably just make the vars for the info queue manually then

[loud summit]

?

[slim ferry]

just find what order the variables are in for vanilla glass cards

[loud summit]

the P_CENTER only saves the xmult and denominator

[slim ferry]

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = { set = "Enhanced", key = "m_glass", config = {...} }

iirc

[loud summit]

oh

then use G.P_CENTERS.m_glass:create_fake_card() to get the vars?

[loud summit]

config?

[slim ferry]

variables

for description

just copy vanilla glass loc_vars variable order

[loud summit]

so basically just put a list of vars into config?

[slim ferry]

yes
