Is there a context for jokers changing in any way? (changing order of jokers, adding jokers, removing jokers)

[lusty marten]

how can i do that?

[loud citrus]

is there a way to change how many cards you draw when opening a booster pack? effect tided to the booster itself

[wild patrol]

Is there anything in the smod wiki to show how to place or add to the ace on the main menu

[lusty marten]

i think there is a way , cryptid mod did that

[loud citrus]

you can look at talisman

[loud citrus]

oh! what booster?

[lusty marten]

waiting for me , i will take a photo of it

[wild patrol]

Is talisman required to do it? I thought cryptid mod did it

Isn't talisman just for making sure the score can go higher

[loud citrus]

they modify the ace

i mean for code, nothing you must use with

[wild patrol]

I just wanna tinker with the idea or replacing it or just adding some next to it

[loud citrus]

i see

[lusty marten]

like this?

[wild patrol]

What line would it be located at in the base game I guess I could just look see how it's done myself

[loud citrus]

i mean like the playing cards drawn in an arcana pack

instead of your hand size a fixed amount

[lusty marten]

oh, i think there are no solution unless fix game logic

[loud citrus]

blast

[lusty marten]

or using lovely is a best way too

[gilded blaze]

[maiden phoenix]

You could use a mod calculate and change the handsize while in your booster

Idk if there's a context for leaving a booster in general (I know there's one for skipping)

[gilded blaze]

context.ending_booster

[maiden phoenix]

Oh nice

[wintry solar]

You can probably use this too

[gilded blaze]

so

[wintry solar]

Just need to check if you’re in the booster state

[gilded blaze]

if context.drawing_cards and G.STATE == G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED then?

nice

[wintry solar]

Something like that yeah

I have not tried this though, I could be misremembering

Read modding rules

Wdym, in the repo

[limber aspen]

#📜・modding-rules

[subtle crown]

Which rule?

[umbral zodiac]

literally the first one which you would see if you read them

[elder rune]

just use SMODS.debuff_card

[upper quarry]

They're talking about a fangame and not a port of Balatro

are you sure you're correct?

[umbral zodiac]

i pointed them to the right rule if it were a port because that's what i saw someone else trying to do and they hadn't replied yet

[upper quarry]

aah

fair fair

[compact shuttle]

hi, I need help with creating my first mod pack, I am using fedora linux instead of windows so I cant really find a guide.
does anyone maybe know a bit and can help me?

[subtle crown]

No, it's a fangame I want to create, not a port

Well I successfully downloaded it already and I can run mods on it, however, when I try create a modpack and run it it doesn't seem to exist, it doesn't even show on the activated mods

[short fulcrum]

I'm trying to make a Boss Blind that debuffs cards held in hand before the hand starts scoring, and removes the debuffs after scoring. I believe the debuffs themselves work, but I'm not sure how to make the cards visually look debuffed with this setup

SMODS.Blind {
    key = "gears",
    dollars = 5,
    mult = 2,
    pos = { y = 5 },
    boss = { min = 4 },
    atlas = 'MySingingBlinds',
    boss_colour = HEX("a3a3a3"),

    calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if blind.disabled then return end

        if context.before then
            for _, card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                if not card.played_this_hand then
                    SMODS.debuff_card(card, true, 'gears')
                    card:juice_up()
                end
            end
        end

        if context.after then
            for _, card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                SMODS.debuff_card(card, false, 'gears')
            end
        end
    end
}

[red flower]

try doing the context.after part in an event

[short fulcrum]

alright I'll try that

ok I made it into an event, it almost works but when the hand finishes and the debuffs are removed it never moves on after that so the game becomes stuck

        if context.after then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    for _, card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                        SMODS.debuff_card(card, false, 'gears')
                    end
                end
            }))
        end

[red flower]

return true

or the event wont end

[short fulcrum]

oh yeah of course

forgot to add that

awesome it works, thank you

[limber aspen]

I personally started with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp-4U5TlbxY , it explains most basic things, also https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/ is pretty useful to see code to vanilla jokers, tarots, etc.

[limber aspen]

I am using that already but when I use it without a context it crashes without a crash log, it works when I set a context (I tested it with context.reroll_shop)

[compact shuttle]

Thanks 🙏🏾

[elder rune]

What exactly are you trying to make

[limber aspen]

Im trying to do joker that debuffs near jokers

[limber aspen]

Thank you!

[rotund sable]

would there be a way to check a vanilla joker rarity other than number? or do i have to just use a map
rn im trying to do something like this

#G.jokers.highlighted > 0 and G.jokers.highlighted[1].config.center.rarity == "common" 

-# (yes this is for jokerforge and leaving it as a string would help a bunch)

also welcome back 👋

[daring fern]

card:is_rarity('Common')

[rotund sable]

damn i forgot about this thing

Thanks Somethingcom <3

helpful as always

[wild patrol]

Creating mods on Linux is no different than windows just fyi

The only difference is the game runs through proton

Just need to find you something to write in

[wraith jolt]

I feel like personally the video those not match up with the vanilla remake index, I had Joker that was working and the last thing it needed was the imagine and boom it crash

And I not been able to figure what did wrong

[red flower]

the video is kinda old

[candid acorn]

@slim ferry anything on how to use the :extend() function?

or maybe a page in the wiki?

[slim ferry]

not that i know of

[candid acorn]

idk if it has one

alr ill try to figure it out

[slim ferry]

however what it does is create a new object class with the values you put into the table of the function as the new default values

which you can do a lot with

a good first step is probably to see what class youre best off extending for what youre trying to make

[lilac trail]

What was the name of the "vanilla modded" github repo? I forgot it, but I plan to pin it once you guys send it over

[candid acorn]

#1456641762591510671

there

[lilac trail]

thx much

[candid acorn]

so if i like extend joker class i can add new properities and functionality to all objects to use right?

[slim ferry]

yes

[candid acorn]

hmmm

[slim ferry]

though usually if youre creating some type of card its better to extend the basic SMODS.Center

since those have basically all the same features as the individual center classes

[candid acorn]

im like trying to make keywords so that in the game object you can do keywords = {} and it will get some effects/ premade things from based of what is there

so you can put like keywords = {'hewnk} and then the cad will automatically have another button under the sell button for something

and idk if i should use :extend() hooks patches or multiple

[slim ferry]

what is exactly the end goal? are you just making jokers or something different entirely

[candid acorn]

i want to add an extra param to consumeable/joker cards, and based on that param, automatically add extra functionality to the card, like buttons, or just mechnics, that would be too long to copy/paste on every card that would have them

[slim ferry]

for buttons you can try looking at the system that entropy uses, which just allows jokers to have a use and can_use function like consumables

[wraith jolt]

Someone need to make updated or modern version of it

[slim ferry]

though for everything else youre probably best extending, i do this in my own mod for stuff like consumables that are mostly the same code-wise with one slight difference so i dont have to copy and paste the same function into all of them

you can also use that to create default functionality similar to vanilla consumables

[candid acorn]

yea bc the way i want to do it, is that you predefine these keywords in a separate object/class, and then you can add these keywords to jokers, somehow, and when you do, the keywords functionality is added to the jokers functionality, so you can add the whole keywords code to the jokers code

[slim ferry]

so its like

an additional modifier for jokers?

[candid acorn]

wydm by modifier

[slim ferry]

like editions and stuff

[candid acorn]

yes, but it will add some more complex things to the cards, and it is predefinad, so the card always has it, and you cant just remove it or smth

[slim ferry]

hmm

well you can probably do it with a Card.calculate_joker hook then

by checking the effects of all the keywords on the joker after the main calculation

[candid acorn]

ok thx ill try to do it

[limber aspen]

Do hooks only work outside of a SMODS.Joker{}? I want to create hook for Node:stop_drag() to trigger a joker.

[slim ferry]

well yeah

hooks are a permanent change to a function so they have to be seperate

[short fulcrum]

This Boss debuffs all cards held in card, then removes the debuffs after scoring is finished. I don't want the debuffs to be removed if the hand defeats the blind (so Gold Cards, Blue Seals, etc don't trigger at end of round) but for the life of me I can't figure it out

SMODS.Blind {
    key = "gears",
    dollars = 5,
    mult = 2,
    pos = { y = 5 },
    boss = { min = 4 },
    atlas = 'MySingingBlinds',
    boss_colour = HEX("a3a3a3"),

    calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if blind.disabled then return end

        if context.before then
            for _, card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                if not card.played_this_hand then
                    SMODS.debuff_card(card, true, 'gears')
                    card:juice_up()
                end
            end
        end

        if context.after then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    for _, card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                        SMODS.debuff_card(card, false, 'gears')
                        card:juice_up()
                    end
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
    end
}

I feel like the solution is really simple as well so I feel like an idiot for not being able to find it

[slim ferry]

try removing the debuff in defeat by iterating over G.playing_cards

that happens much later than other stuff

[short fulcrum]

that would remove all the debuffs after everything else (and will be added when I figure out the current problem) but right now I need to figure out a way for the cards to stay debuffed if the hand wins the blind

[slim ferry]

well

that is the way to do that

[short fulcrum]

I'm sorry, I'm not sure if I understand (I'm still very new to this)

[slim ferry]

defeat runs much later so itll keep the cards debuffed until after all the end of round effects trigger

[short fulcrum]

yes but the trigger in context.after would still run, wouldn't it? that would clear the debuff earlier than I want

[slim ferry]

remove the trigger in context.after then

[short fulcrum]

but I still want that trigger to occur after every hand that didn't beat the blind

all I need is a way to see if a hand will win the blind that will turn that trigger off

[wintry solar]

It might help if you explain what the effect is rather than asking vague questions about trigger timings

[short fulcrum]

I already explained it above, the boss debuffs all cards held in hand when a hand is being scored, and after scoring is finished the debuffs are removed. Right now the issue I'm facing is that end of round effects like Gold Cards are still triggered because it isn't detecting if the hand has won the blind

I have figured out a sort of solution by adding the below code, but the issue with that is that the debuff is removed and then added on a moment later, which looks clunky

        if context.end_of_round then
            for _, card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                SMODS.debuff_card(card, true, 'gears')
            end
        end

[white hull]

hey y'all, how can i draw specific cards from deck to hand? nvm i got it

[wild patrol]

anyway to fix this

Every custom booster pack I make has this

[red flower]

do you have a group_name in the loc_txt

[random basin]

custom cards are not rendering in my poker hand preview

            {'bm_Wi_E', true}, {'bm_Wi_S', true}, {'bm_Wi_We', true}, {'bm_Wi_N', true}, {'bm_D_R', true}, {'bm_D_G', true}, {'bm_D_Wh', true}},```

I assume I need the prefix

[red flower]

yes, on both the rank and suit

[random basin]

works

[smoky holly]

im running into a mild issue, i have a context.discard where i have a joker scale in a similar manner to ramen. it runs just fine, but it doesn't run as fast as ramen does and i can't seem to find out what ramen's doing differently

[round lion]

how am i mean tto make a objectclass anyway

[umbral zodiac]

@wintry solar https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptid/pull/820/files can you confirm for me that these changes would address the problems that cryptid is having with its localization on latest smods release , if you have the time

oh wow the embed is Me

you dont have to read the whole thing obv i just wanna make sure that i fixed the problem generally

[frosty rampart]

that's two giant cat github embeds now 🔥

[wintry solar]

I am 95% sure it's just the stuff in v_dictionary

[umbral zodiac]

im distraught

is it problematic to remove the tables from the other things at least

[wintry solar]

I don't believe so

[umbral zodiac]

then i lowkey might just merge it anyway

assuming it doesnt crash on boot

yea no it does i guess ill just restart and apply it only in v_dict

whoever did the chinese localization PLEASE WHY DID YOU FORMAT IT

[red flower]

based

[sturdy compass]

based

[white hull]

are legendary jokers i make automatically excluded from the shop pool?

[umbral zodiac]

shop? yes

they spawn as normal legendary jokers would in vanilla

if you want to make them not spawn the soul, or only spawn on certain conditions, consider using an in_pool function for them

[white hull]

so only from soul cards

[umbral zodiac]

only from anything that spawns legendary jokers intentionally

so the soul in vanilla, or anything from other mods that spawns legendaries

but nothing that just picks a random joker

[white hull]

yeah makes sense, thank you

[smoky holly]

do i need an E_MANAGER event?

[sturdy compass]

Do you have a delay value set in your return?

[smoky holly]

i do not

[umbral zodiac]

that was not worth my time but it's fixed now, you guys can stop directing people to old smods

[red flower]

install smods 0.9.8

[umbral zodiac]

that was actually not worth any of my time because cryptid sucks and i had limited time today which is now up but what fucking ever

[wintry solar]

thanks lily ❤️

[umbral zodiac]

sure

[sturdy compass]

That’d do it then. Ramen has this too, but it looks like it’s missing from VanillaRemade. Lemme find an example rq

[smoky holly]

ahh do the messages have a default delay that is overridden by setting it yourself?

[red flower]

oh?

[sturdy compass]

Yes

[white hull]

code from the lovely dump

if self.ability.name == 'Ramen' and not context.blueprint then
    if self.ability.x_mult - self.ability.extra <= 1 then 
        SMODS.destroy_cards(self, nil, nil, true)
        return {
            card = self,
            message = localize('k_eaten_ex'),
            colour = G.C.FILTER
        }
    else
        SMODS.scale_card(self, {
            ref_table = self.ability,
            ref_value = "x_mult",
            scalar_value = "extra",
            operation = "-",
            message_key = 'a_xmult_minus',
            colour = G.C.RED,
            message_delay = 0.2,
        })
        return nil, true
    end
end

[sturdy compass]

I’m only now discovering this myself too lmao

[smoky holly]

oh i didnt notice you two were the

you and the other contributors to vremade have been a blessing to our work, thank you

[sturdy compass]

o7

[smoky holly]

hmm does it only work with scale_card?

[red flower]

no, you can add delay = num to the return

[smoky holly]

oh i used message_delay

silly me

[sturdy compass]

Yeah scale_card is a tiny bit different

[smoky holly]

it works!

thank you

[white hull]

yay!!

[red flower]

fixed it on vremade

[sturdy compass]

Should we update vremade to use scale_card? Or is that a lil more of an advanced feature we let devs learn themselves

[red flower]

no

i think it makes the code harder to read

[smoky holly]

that's just for other jokers that alter scaling to reference, right?

[red flower]

yes

[smoky holly]

ok cool

[frosty rampart]

i think having a comment about it next to relevant scaling jokers might be nice
much like e.g. marble joker has the big comment with "just use this code if you don't care about the animation"

[umbral zodiac]

not my place to butt in but i wow ok meta stole what i was going to say

[frosty rampart]

hive mind
🐝🧠

[red flower]

they do

[frosty rampart]

? i just ctrl-f'd for scale_card and there's nothing in jokers.lua

[frosty rampart]

a

        return {
            vars = { cfg.choose, cfg.extra }
        }
    end,```

[red flower]

remove the group_key

[wild patrol]

awesome works now

[round lion]

how do i make a G.GAME table anyway

[violet oasis]

I saw in the changelog for the latest SMODS that animated textures are now supported for all Atlas types. Can anyone confirm if this works with the balatro key? Whenever I try to set it as ANIMATION_ATLAS, it reverts back to the vanilla sprite.

I even checked in SMODS.Atlas.obj_table.balatro and the path and everything is as I set up, but it's still showing the vanilla sprite.

[white hull]

put a SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals(run_start) function in your main code file and initiate it there

like if run_start then G.GAME.yourtable = {}

[wintry solar]

No, the splash logo hasn't been updated to use the new functionality

[violet oasis]

A shame, thanks though!

[umbral zodiac]

is there any existing way to find the amount of times a specific playing card has been played or should i just track it myself

[daring fern]

card.base.times_played

[umbral zodiac]

awesome

[random basin]

how do I use add_round_eval_row() ?

essentiallly what i'm trying to do is this:

SMODS.PokerHand {
    key = "Straight Flush",
    ...
    modify_display_text = function(self, cards, scoring_hand)
        local royal = true
        ...
        if royal then
            -- TODO: ADD BONUS CASH ROW TO END ROUND
            return 'vremade_Royal Flush'
        end
    end
}```

[red flower]

you can't add a cash row there

[random basin]

can I queue an event or do I just have to send a variable elsewhere to be picked up when it reaches the correct context

[red flower]

latter

[pastel kernel]

How do you give a joker a use button?

[red flower]

but keep in mind that function is also not good for that since it also triggers on selection

[red flower]

check vanillaremade wiki, there's a question towards the bottom to add a button

[random basin]

best way to implement this would probably be to copy most of the logic from todo list joker, however idk how to make a joker effect something that just lasts an entire run constantly, do I need to write a custom object?

[red flower]

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context) :3

[random basin]

.current_mod or [mod_prefix]

[red flower]

current_mod

literally

[pastel kernel]

how do you make sure the card appears on only jokers that need it? (for example, isaac is a joker that gives a random negative joker based on what number you get after 6 rounds)

[red flower]

in the card highlight hook in the guide you check for the key

[random basin]

thank you wiki devs 😭

[red flower]

oh keep in mind royal flush is not considered a hand

#⚙・modding-off-topic

[random basin]

it just modifies the display text right

[pastel kernel]

so i add the joker's key in the pre-existing check?

[random basin]

in that case context.scoring_name can grab it right

[red flower]

nope

that will be straight flush

the only way to grab it in contexts is in context.evaluate_poker_hand

[pastel kernel]

i forgot how to do this ```lua
if context.card.config.center.key == "j_busterb_isaac" then

can i replace true with can_use(...) or is that not possible```lua
local can_use = true

[red flower]

yeah

[red flower]

there's no context there, it would be self instead of context.card

[pastel kernel]

wait, do i have to write multiple of these just to add multiple abilities?

[red flower]

do you mean multiple buttons or multiple jokers

[pastel kernel]

i was trying to copy the way entropy went about giving jokers button abilities

[red flower]

you can give the jokers use and can_use functions and check those yes

[pastel kernel]

SMODS.calculate_effect({ use(self, card) }, card)

[red flower]

that's not a piece of code that makes sense

[random basin]

yeah most likely I'll have to split up all the poker hands into their own objects
not terribly difficult but will add a ton of clutter and would make creating jokers that synergize more difficult

[gaunt folio]

what can i do to modify a jokers values? Cryptid doesn't seem to have what i'm looking for, although I'm probably not looking in the right spot

like double or something

[wraith jolt]

I am getting so frustrated trying to link a Joker with it sprite

I just can't comprehend what doing wrong this time

key = "png_joker",
blueprint_compat = false,
rarity = 1,
cost = 4,
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
config = { extra = { h_size = 2 } },
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra.h_size } }
end,
add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
G.hand:change_size(card.ability.extra.h_size)
end,
remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.h_size)
end,
}

This what using but if I try adding Atlas to it, it instantly crashes it

What is the solution here can anyone explain it to me

[rocky plaza]

how is ur atlas defined

[wraith jolt]

Using

[rocky plaza]

can i see the code where you defined the atlas

[wraith jolt]

yes, stupid fat hands won't move fast enough

[rocky plaza]

if its crashing when you add the atlas target for the joker, you probably screwed something up within the atlas

[wraith jolt]

  }

that all I am using and the sprite name joker

I watch the video how to make joker that what they said

[rocky plaza]

I'm assuming you added an SMODS.Atlas somewhere in your code?
If so can i see the code for that

[wraith jolt]

Nope I didn't

so that it

[rocky plaza]

That would be why

[wraith jolt]

and where do I add that one

[rocky plaza]

Ideally before all the Jokers are defined

so at the top of the file

[wraith jolt]

omg this enough to drive someone to drinking

ok let me try again

[rocky plaza]

For reference, heres what a Joker atlas should look like

SMODS.Atlas({
      key = "placeholder",
      px = 71,
      py = 95,
      path = "placeholder.png",
})

replace placeholder with a more apt name

[wraith jolt]

ok let try this now

[rocky plaza]

and then dont forget to set the atlas value in your joker to the key of the new atlas you made

[wraith jolt]

you lost me there

[rocky plaza]

what does your atlas look like now

the code

[wraith jolt]

oh it work I see

[rocky plaza]

ah

[wraith jolt]

wait but where do I add the text for the Joker information

before the atlas or after it?

[rocky plaza]

2 options:
Inside a localization file
(make a localization folder inside your mod folder, then put an en-us.lua inside, then follow these instructions: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization)
or inside the Joker via

loc_txt = {
  name = "Your Joker name",
  text = {
    "Row 1",
    "Row 2",
  }
}

also for text formatting see https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling

anyways im tired so im heading to bed

this is pretty basic stuff though so if you're still confused there will most definitely be people here that can help ya while im away sleeping

[urban wasp]

USE A LOCALIZATION FILE

ok bye

[river grail]

looking at you, sr. nacho

[wraith jolt]

Guys is there anyone else awake?

It late way too late I do this tomorrow

[naive agate]

how can I debuff all jokers except the leftmost one during a boss blind?

[daring fern]

if context.debuff_card and context.debuff_card.area == G.jokers and context.debuff_card ~= G.jokers.cards[1] then return {debuff = true} end

[pastel kernel]

can i really just add use and can_use to a joker and a use button will magically appear onto a joker?

[daring fern]

No.

[pastel kernel]

how does entropy do it

[dapper sun]

by coding in its own use button support

my mod's use button code is a modified version of the lobcorp mod's use button code

[daring fern]

[wild patrol]

    if is_on_cooldown() then return end

        level_up_hand(nil, nil, false, -1)
        play_sound('ttv_fart_sound1', 1)
end```

working on this the level down all hands part works everything works but the moment it finishes leveling down all hands it crashes with an error in common_events.lua 507 with a nil value looking there it's just an end statement

[maiden phoenix]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-add-a-button-to-my-card

[maiden phoenix]

Why not do a reverse black hole instead?

[wild patrol]

tried that

this is the closes i've got to work lmao

do I need to add update_hand_text()?

is that maybe why it crashes?

nope taht didn't work crashes lol

[maiden phoenix]

Can you go into your Mods/lovely/dump/functions/common_events and show whats at around that line?

(Wow english is hard this morning)

[wild patrol]

oh I was looking in the balatro.exe's lua

might be why I can't find the reason lol

[maiden phoenix]

The dump contains everthing, with applied lovely patches from all mods and smods

[wild patrol]

        trigger = 'immediate',
        func = (function() check_for_unlock{type = 'upgrade_hand', hand = hand, level = G.GAME.hands[hand].level} return true end)
    }))```

looks like this is my issue

[maiden phoenix]

Its hard without my pc, if you dont figure it out until 8 hours ping me

[wild patrol]

i'll tinker around

i'm not excatly an expert at lua

I'm a if it works it works

Duck tape and glue

[normal crest]

can u send the crash log

duck tape is funny tho

[wild patrol]

crash log

[normal crest]

is this line 507

[normal crest]

isn't that cus you're passing nil to it

so hand is nil

[wild patrol]

so it's more so related to level_up_hand(nil, nil, false, -1)

[normal crest]

I'd say so

[wild patrol]

let me tinker see

[normal crest]

try using the smods function to level up instead

i guess actually, can you send the entire level up function in your dump

nvm

[wild patrol]

    G.GAME.hands[hand].level = math.max(0, G.GAME.hands[hand].level + amount)
    G.GAME.hands[hand].mult = math.max(G.GAME.hands[hand].s_mult + G.GAME.hands[hand].l_mult*(G.GAME.hands[hand].level - 1), 1)
    G.GAME.hands[hand].chips = math.max(G.GAME.hands[hand].s_chips + G.GAME.hands[hand].l_chips*(G.GAME.hands[hand].level - 1), 0)
    if not instant then 
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.2, func = function()
            play_sound('tarot1')
            if card then card:juice_up(0.8, 0.5) end
            G.TAROT_INTERRUPT_PULSE = true
            return true end }))
        update_hand_text({delay = 0}, {mult = G.GAME.hands[hand].mult, StatusText = true})
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.9, func = function()
            play_sound('tarot1')
            if card then card:juice_up(0.8, 0.5) end
            return true end }))
        update_hand_text({delay = 0}, {chips = G.GAME.hands[hand].chips, StatusText = true})
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.9, func = function()
            play_sound('tarot1')
            if card then card:juice_up(0.8, 0.5) end
            G.TAROT_INTERRUPT_PULSE = nil
            return true end }))
        update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.9, delay = 0}, {level=G.GAME.hands[hand].level})
        delay(1.3)
    end
    ]]
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'immediate',
        func = (function() check_for_unlock{type = 'upgrade_hand', hand = hand, level = G.GAME.hands[hand].level} return true end)
    }))
end```

assuming this is it

[normal crest]

is the entire function commented out besides that final part

Or is there stuff before the commented out part

[wild patrol]

I'm not sure 507 is the G.E part

and the commented out is the last part before that

[normal crest]

is there stuff before --[[

[wild patrol]

yes

[normal crest]

is it too long

[wild patrol]

    amount = amount or 1
    SMODS.upgrade_poker_hands({
        hands = hand,
        func = function(base, hand, parameter)
                return base + G.GAME.hands[hand]['l_' .. parameter] * amount
        end,
        level_up = amount,
        from = card,
        instant = instant
    })```

talking about this before it

[normal crest]

oh okay, well that makes sense

idk if that's an issue with smods or another mod

[wild patrol]

I guess I could disabled every other mod see what happens

doesn't seem mod related\

[normal crest]

can you redownload latest smids

Smods

It seems the issue was fixed 7 days ago

Wait no

I misread

The issue was brought 7 days ago

Assuming passing nil as a hand is an intended use

[wild patrol]

if I cahnge the nils to anything it still crashes

I'll probably push it into the repo I got going let the main guy I got coding take a look later lol

[normal crest]

the 2nd nil is the issue

the function wants it to be a valid hand name

[wild patrol]

is there a a list of hands as like a local thing

Maybe that's waht it's looking for a list of hands

I put poker_hands in thought it worked but still crashed

[maiden phoenix]

Cant you just do
SMODS.upgrade_poker_hands({level_up = -1}) instead of calling level_up?

Idk if its this one or smart_level_up I forgot the difference between the two

[wild patrol]

it worked

[maiden phoenix]

Neat

[wild patrol]

hours gone for 1 line of code

[maiden phoenix]

I love sucessful blind support

[normal crest]

it seems passing nil to it is not intended

[wild patrol]

I guess for context working on a twitch chat intergration mod

[normal crest]

just a side effect of it using the upgrade_poker_hands function

[wild patrol]

with some friends

I saw the twitch blind mod

and liked the idea

but wish chat could be more interactive with fucking with ur game

still very early but it's functional

[wild patrol]

btw is there a good way to look for stuff like this

I tried the wiki couldn't find this mentioned anywere

or is it just trial and error and looking for the functions in lovely dumps

[storm kraken]

hm
how would i check if somebody selected a card in a pack

somebody?? i meant the player

[maiden phoenix]

Utils funcs from smods can be found in utils.lua, tho very rarely they're in other files

[storm kraken]

a better way to word this would be how would i check when the pack is supposed to end and go back to the regular shop

[maiden phoenix]

context.ending_booster iirc

[wild patrol]

cool

really wish the wiki was more documented

especially when me dumb

[normal crest]

that function specifically was mentioned in a discussion in the smods github repo

[maiden phoenix]

Everyone wants the wiki to be better but nobody wants to write the wiki 😅

[wild patrol]

Everyone wants change but nobody wants to do it

THe law of the internet

[normal crest]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/discussions/1131

[lament agate]

YOU do it

[maiden phoenix]

One singular line saying "idk check vanillaremade"

[wild patrol]

unfunny joke incomming for the mod

[red flower]

i wonder how many outdated jokes there are in the oldest shitpost mods by now

[limber aspen]

Is it possible to determine average color of card with shader?

[wild patrol]

what do u guys think so far of this mod

forgot to show off the soul and wheel additions

but they are both trolls

wheel never procs and soul just says pranked

the twitch commands are about midway through

still very unfinished but it'll get there eventually

Any fun suggestions for commands?

[primal robin]

How are you reading the chat?

[wild patrol]

From the code my friend made it uses irc connection

Nut shell you put ur name into the box in the configuration menu

And it looks for keywords in ur chat

https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/chat/irc/

[primal robin]

irc instead of websocket you say

[wild patrol]

I guess it's websocket

I think he mentioned that to

I dunno

I didn't make that part of the code

[primal robin]

How he implemented wss in lua then

[wild patrol]

I've just been adding to the commands

And fiddling with jokers

[primal robin]

Does your mod has repo? I want to look at this part specifically

[wild patrol]

Pretty sure works similar to how the twitch blinds mod was made

[red flower]

i wonder who made twitch blinds

[primal robin]

[wild patrol]

Ur mod was the inspiration lol

I just wanted it to have more abilities to screw with the streamer

And yeah it does use socket connection

Just checked

[primal robin]

I interested in wss implementation specifically

Because ws is no longer supported

[wild patrol]

I'll have to ask them when I get the chance

The repo will be public once I feel like it's good enough for people to use

UI is ass for where u put ur name in and not even sure how rate limits will handle

Mod idea is similar to that one Mario 64 ROM had where people in chat could type a command to mess with everything in-game

But trying to implement jokes that could help battle against chat

It's just throwing shit in rn with no real balancing

[pastel kernel]

what does the soul copy have that makes it different from the original soul

[wild patrol]

Troll.joker

When u use it just say pranked and plays a fart sound

[pastel kernel]

so it's a fake soul

[wild patrol]

Essentially yeah

Not sure if I want it to appear in spectrals or make it a command

Either or seems funny

[candid acorn]

if i extend the SMODS:Joker class, will the new class be considered a Joker, or a separate Type with Joker as its base? tbh because of the lack of documentation i dont understand the :extend function that well

or like will it be just a joker with some more features, and be considered a joker by the game, so it will appear as a joker in the shop and collection, or will it be a different type of object that just behaves like a joker

or am i getting something wrong about this

[normal crest]

when you extend you copy everything the Joker class have

and you can overwrite stuff

Joker itself extends from Center

[candid acorn]

so i make a joker just with some changes?

[normal crest]

Depends on what you overwrite

But if, let's say you wanted to have jokers that all have the same calculate function

You could extend Joker and overwrite calculate only, then use the new class to make jokers

[candid acorn]

then if i make a joker with that new class the calculate function will execute code from both the class definition and the joker itself

[normal crest]

no, you're overwriting, so only the calculate function defined last would run

[candid acorn]

oof

[normal crest]

what you can do is make the calculate function in the new class use a different function within the object inside

so for each joker you create with the new class you'd define like my_calculate = function blah blah then inside the calculate you'd call self.my_calculate blah blah

[candid acorn]

  run my code
  new_calculate()
end```

smth like that?

[normal crest]

when you call extend you'd do

MOD_OBJECT.Something = SMODS.Joker:extend {
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    -- your generic joker code
    self:my_calculate(card, context)
  end
}

MOD_OBJECT.Something {
  my_calculate = function(self, card, context)
    -- specific joker code
  end
}

[candid acorn]

ok tysm i was trying to figure this out for some time really thx

[normal crest]

glad to help

[smoky holly]

how would one get a joker to draw cards into your hand?

[red flower]

SMODS.draw_cards(number)

[smoky holly]

would this screw up the timing of other jokers if i used it here

i. should put an actual number

[red flower]

you dont need to draw cards if you increase hand size

it does it automatically

[smoky holly]

well the hand size was increasing during scoring

so they werent drawing immediately

[red flower]

what you did wont either

[smoky holly]

m

[red flower]

i dont remember if draw_cards has events in it

[candid acorn]

    required_params = {
        'key',
        'loc_txt',
        'lvl_costs',
    },
    inject = function() end
})```

[red flower]

what is line 288

also I don't recommend saving things to the SMODS table, make your own

[candid acorn]

Line 288 is just SMODS.Leveler {

Also the thing being saved to the SMODS table is a result of me not knowing what to do and just doing random things it was saved to my own table before

[red flower]

is this loaded after the first piece of code

[candid acorn]

Thx that was the issue

I suspected that the file might not be loaded i didint realise that would be the issue with it being loaded after lol

[edgy mountain]

how do i get the index of highlighted cards in reference to their position in the whole hand?

[red flower]

loop through the whole hand and check its position

[edgy mountain]

is there a flag that detects if a card is highlighted?

[red flower]

card.highlighted

[edgy mountain]

huh

weird that i didnt find it looking through the code

[smoky holly]

what would i put in if i wanted to emplace a specific tarot card?

i have this for a random tarot, would i need to change 'Tarot' to be the specific name?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#jokersconsumablescustom-pool

[smoky holly]

yeah i figured it was gonna be somewhere in there

thank you

do i have to use add_card or can i use emplace?

[red flower]

remove create_card, emplace and add_to_deck and justuse SMODS.add_card instead

[smoky holly]

what's the difference?

[red flower]

it's one line

you dont have to do nil, nil, nil, etc

and it gets any smods fixes in the future if there are any

[smoky holly]

i see, do i still need consumeable_buffer?

[red flower]

yes, if it's during scoring

[smoky holly]

and then if i just wanted a random tarot i could use SMODS.add_card('Tarot') ?

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card { set = 'Tarot' }

[smoky holly]

ah ok

thank you thank you

now here's smth strange

the trigger order between these is wrong despite them having, at least from what i can tell in vremade, the same blind_setting context

[red flower]

cartomancer uses an event inside an event

[smoky holly]

ah

[smoky holly]

ok im looking at showman in the vremade and im a little lost

im assuming SMODS.showman is a steamodded-specific function to allow showman-like effects

[red flower]

yes

[smoky holly]

so find card checks to see if you have showman? and then what defines what can appear multiple times specifically?

[red flower]

yes, SMODS.showman runs once for every card that can be spawned and if it returns true then it can repeat

[smoky holly]

oh

so to swap this out to only want one specific card from appearing

[red flower]

is it a specific effect that makes that card appear in multiples or does the card have that by default

[smoky holly]

the card has an effect on itself that causes it to appear in multiples, but it's not on by default

[red flower]

you can use it's own in_pool function for that

return true, { allow_duplicates = true } when the effect is active

[smoky holly]

oh that's. really easy huh

exactly like this then

[red flower]

yes
that will be on at all times tho

[smoky holly]

oh

what,

[harsh belfry]

ig a G.GAME variable could be used

set by the joker def

or Actually

why don't you just use SMODS.find_card

[smoky holly]

ah, in the in_pool?

[harsh belfry]

in_pool = function () return true, { allow_duplicates = next(SMODS.find_card("YOUR_JOKER_KEY")) } end

like this i would think

if your joker is found (currently obtained) it will be the value of allow_duplicates

it is truthy and as such duplicates should be allowed

[smoky holly]

ahh smart

[primal robin]

nope, table needs to be second argument

[harsh belfry]

balatrue

[primal robin]

you need return true, { allow_duplicates = ... }

[harsh belfry]

ngl you should ping the guy i don't think they're actively checking chat

[red flower]

thats not what they want unless i misread

[harsh belfry]

what that code does is allow duplicates if you have at least one of the joker

[smoky holly]

that only allows duplicates if you have a copy, yeah?

[red flower]

oh i thought it was like an activated effect not a passive

[ember locust]

Any idea how to give a joker a custom rarity that would not join the regular or legendary joker pools but can be only be summoned by either a consumable or a joker event/effect? Doesn't have to be the exact trigger, just that it would be seperate from every other joker pools

[red flower]

SMODS.Rarity

[maiden phoenix]

Yea you can make your own rarity and set the weight to 0 (I think it is by default)

[ember locust]

Thank you very much

[smoky holly]

god i wish there was an easier way to see if this works besides rerolling 200 times

[harsh belfry]

change_shop_size(gained)

devious things can be done with this function

[smoky holly]

can i input that into debugplus?

[harsh belfry]

yes

gained is however many more cards you want

in shop

don't put too many though lmao

[smoky holly]

command didnt work

[harsh belfry]

oh yeah thats an eval

if you didn't know

thats just a function thats available to use in code

[smoky holly]

i have shop size at a good number so

ok after 285 rerolls im just gonna assume i have the key wrong

[harsh belfry]

lmao

i had a similar effect

[smoky holly]

do i need to add the j_ and mod prefixes to the key?

[harsh belfry]

it takes a while

[harsh belfry]

yes

[smoky holly]

so it should...

[smoky holly]

does the mod prefix having underscores in it affect it at all

[harsh belfry]

i don't know why it would

[smoky holly]

would it affect the same shop it's bought from?

[red flower]

yes

[smoky holly]

or do i go to a new shop

[red flower]

add a print to the in_pool to see what next(SMODS.find_card(..)) outputs

[smoky holly]

what do i replace .. with

[red flower]

what you have

i just didnt want to write the whole thing

[smoky holly]

its printing nil rn on one reroll

[red flower]

then the key is probably wrong

[smoky holly]

wait do i need to move return true to the bottom?

the key would be j\_[mod prefix]\_[joker key], yeah?

[harsh belfry]

yes

your mod prefix would be j_o_y, right?

[smoky holly]

yes

so i have the key exactly right

[red flower]

can i see the whole code for the joker

[smoky holly]

local silly_band = SMODS.Joker {
    key = "silly_band",
    atlas = "jokers",
    pos = {
        x = 9,
        y = 0
    },
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = false,
    rarity = 2, -- Uncommon
    cost = 6,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    in_pool = function(self, args)
        print(next(SMODS.find_card("j_j_o_y_silly_band")))
        return true,
        { allow_duplicates = next(SMODS.find_card("j_j_o_y_silly_band")) }
    end
    
}

silly_band.config = {
    extra = {
        xmult = 1.5,
        xmult_per_copy = 1.5
    }
}

silly_band.loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    local config = card.ability.extra

    return {
        vars = {
            config.xmult_per_copy,
            config.xmult
        }
    }
end

silly_band.calculate = function(self, card, context)
    local config = card.ability.extra

    if G.jokers then
        local copy_count = 0

        for _, joker in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            if joker.label == card.label then
                copy_count = copy_count + 1
            end
        end

        config.xmult = config.xmult_per_copy * copy_count
    end

    if context.joker_main then return { xmult = config.xmult } end
end

we're still working on getting all this stuff into the SMODS.Joker so ignore that

[red flower]

can you get the joker and do eval SMODS.find_card("j_j_o_y_silly_band") in debugplus

also hover it and do eval dp.hovered.config.center.key

[smoky holly]

returns j_o_y_silly_band

[red flower]

only that?

[smoky holly]

yes

[red flower]

not j_j_o_y_silly_band?

[smoky holly]

nope

[red flower]

lol

then thats the key

[smoky holly]

damn

[red flower]

smods might be removing the j_?

i would tell you to remove the underscores but then you will conflict with my mod :3

[smoky holly]

the underscores in the prefix was not my decision

hooray!

thanks yall for your patience

[wintry solar]

It’s because when it goes to add the type prefix it already sees j_ so it assumes it’s already prefixed

[smoky holly]

man i wish it was easier to keep track of when i need certain prefixes and when its added automatically

[red flower]

it's almost always needed except when defining a new object

[loud citrus]

How would I make it so if money was gained, I can modify that value to increase or decrease to it?

Bunco has 2 jokers that do this but it uses it's own custom context.

[daring fern]

[loud citrus]

hook? (unfamiliar with hook)

[daring fern]

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

[loud citrus]

OH

[short fulcrum]

is it possible to make a blind directly contribute towards the final score? I'm trying to make a blind that gives X100 Mult (just to test stuff out, the value is irrelevant) after all other scoring concludes

I don't want to go ahead and try to make it before learning it's not as simple as I hope it is

[daring fern]

if context.final_scoring_step then return {xmult = 100} end

[short fulcrum]

I'll try that out

awesome it works, thanks

[red flower]

context.money_altered iirc

it's new

[random basin]

I still don't really get how it works

    local temp_payout_flag = false
    if context.before and (next(context.poker_hands['bm_Tanyao']) or next(context.poker_hands['bm_Pure Double Chi'])) then
        temp_payout_flag = true
        return {
            message = 'One Han!',
            colour = G.C.RED
        }
    elseif context.round_eval then
        if temp_payout_flag then
            add_round_eval_row({dollars = 1, bonus = true, name='name'})
        end
    end
end```

[wintry solar]

temp payout flag will never be true when you check for it

You reset it to false every time the function is run

[loud citrus]

so i found it :>
is context.amount something i check like standard context, or something i can adjust like context.other_card?

[red flower]

you cant change it no

[wintry solar]

Something you can check

But you can ease dollars in this check

[loud citrus]

okay, this is extremely helpful!

[random basin]

fixed, I assume I need all the variables of this?

add_round_eval_row({dollars = ret, bonus = true, name='joker'..i, pitch = pitch, card = _card})

a bit harder since this is not in a joker object

[wintry solar]

I wonder if the calc dollar bonus function works in mod objects

[red flower]

i didnt add it but i dont see why it cant be

[random basin]

why is pitch even in the round eval

lets go

[umbral zodiac]

does anyone know why my hover ui is doing this
i have 2 very very similar elements, the first one works, the second does not, and i dont know why
will send some code snippets in a sec

hover func set for the one that works and doesnt respectively

and both hover functions look like this, just with different uiboxes and positioning

function G.FUNCS.hover_upgrade_blind(e)
    if not e.parent or not e.parent.states then return end
    if (e.states.hover.is or e.parent.states.hover.is) and (e.created_on_pause == G.SETTINGS.paused) and not e.parent.children.alert then
        e.parent.children.alert = UIBox {
            definition = create_UIBox_hover_upgraded(),
            config = { align = "tm", offset = { x = 0, y = -0.1 },
                major = e.parent,
                instance_type = 'POPUP' },
        }
        play_sound('paper1', math.random() * 0.1 + 0.55, 0.42)
        play_sound('tarot2', math.random() * 0.1 + 0.55, 0.09)
        e.parent.children.alert.states.collide.can = false
    elseif e.parent.children.alert and
        ((not e.states.collide.is and not e.parent.states.collide.is) or (e.created_on_pause ~= G.SETTINGS.paused)) then
        e.parent.children.alert:remove()
        e.parent.children.alert = nil
    end
end

nvm i guess i just had to do some more paranoia checks

[random basin]

going with a different implementation- instantiating a special tag that will peform the payout (that way I can rename the row to whatever I want and control the rewards a bit better)

getting this crash```lua

play_sound('generic1', 0.9 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.8)
play_sound('holo1', 1.2 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.4)
return true

oh wait it might be condition missing

[viscid talon]

hai i need help figuring out a specific joker

this is da code

i cant find anything on vanillaremade that helps me turn the face cards into twos

also it costing $100 is bc i wanted to prevent myself from buying it LMAO thats not the actual price trust me

[wintry solar]

when do you want it to change?

[viscid talon]

it functions identically to pareidolia

except it counts every face card as a two

(me when i use defaced + wee joker)

[wintry solar]

oh count as a two, not actually change them

[viscid talon]

yeah

[wintry solar]

we don't have quantum rank support

[viscid talon]

WHAT

gulps

[wintry solar]

you can do a load of jank patching but it wont work with other mods

[daring fern]

local oldcardgetid = Card.get_id
function Card:get_id()
    if next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key')) and not SMODS.has_no_rank(self) and SMODS.Ranks[self.base.value].face then
        return 2
    end
    return oldcardgetid(self)
end

[spiral mural]

quantum ranks are next week

[viscid talon]

:o oooo

[wintry solar]

that snippet will make it no longer count as whatever it actually is

[viscid talon]

no wonder i was struggling with this lmao

so i have to change the ability of the joker then 😔

[daring fern]

No, quantum ranks is still possible.

[viscid talon]

where do i insert this code then

[daring fern]

It would replace the Card:is_face hook.

[viscid talon]

how do i make a hook again 😭

oh wait

i have to put it outside the joker

lol

i replace "j_modprefix_key" with "j_hatch_key" right

hatch being my mod prefix

[daring fern]

Yes, and you would replace key with the key of the joker.

[viscid talon]

oke

im a tad rusty

ok uh it doesnt work

the code rn

[daring fern]

It would be j_hatch_Defaced not j_hatch_defaced

[viscid talon]

oh odd

idk why i wrote the key like that lol

ive never done that before

hmmm, so... it kinda works? it does trigger wee, however...

• its still affected by the plant
• it returns a standard amount rather than the 2 chips its supposed to

[frosty rampart]

both points are intentional parts of how standard "quantum ranks" should behave, in that the card simultaneously counts as a King and a 2

[viscid talon]

ahh i see

thats cool

ill keep it as is then

[daring fern]

Hook Card:is_face and check if the joker is present and return false

[smoky holly]

how would i go about making separate messages between this joker taking money and scaling mult?

[edgy swan]

hi, I have decided to learn how to mod, I have been following a guide on youtube by someone called "doomie" .
after a bit of following the guide I have had to open my game and see the new mod in the game, but I couldnt find it in the mods tab, nor could I find the joker in the collection.
can anyone please help me a bit figuring out what the problem is?

[red flower]

return {
  dollars = ...,
  extra = {
    message = ...,
    colour = ...,
    etc
  }
}

[dapper sun]

why isn't the context.after triggering

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    -- Start Retriggering
    if context.before then
        local hasAce = false
        local has4 = false
        for _, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
            has4 = has4 or v:get_id() == 4
            hasAce = hasAce or v:get_id() == 14
        end
        
        if has4 and hasAce then
            card.ability.extra.trigger = true
            return { message = localize("elle_41_activate"), colour = G.C.BLUE }
        end
    end
    -- Retrigger
    if card.ability.extra.trigger then
        local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[#G.jokers.cards], context)
        if ret then ret.colour = G.C.BLUE end
        return ret
    end
    -- Stop Retriggering
    if context.after then
        card.ability.extra.trigger = false
    end
end```

[red flower]

may i see what you have

[red flower]

is card.ability.extra.trigger true

[dapper sun]

yes

i have it changing sprite when it's true so ik it def is

[red flower]

then it returns before it gets there

[dapper sun]

ah

i see now

[red flower]

where do you have this in your folders

also the video is really outdaed and i would recommend checking out newer stuff

[edgy swan]

%appdata%/balatro/mods/try1/

I dont really know thats just a video my friend who managed to create a mod sent me

[stoic void]

Don’t you need a .json file? Or is it just convenient
If so does tomer have one

[red flower]

old smods used a header which is still supported but deprecated

[edgy swan]

I'm not aware of a .json file

[red flower]

i have no idea what the problem might be

check the first question here and see if following this helps https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki

[dense fulcrum]

I suppose old header is good for small mods, still sets up bad habits tho

[red flower]

it also doesnt have newer configs

[edgy swan]

thank you very much!
sadly I do have to go now so I'll try it out in a bit.

[stoic void]

Maybe trying to make one could work?

A JSON file

[red flower]

the link i said recommends that yes

[round lion]

i think trying to add decksleeves is gonna make me grt a snyeurism

[red flower]

sleeves are just decks

whats the issue

[round lion]

trying to call register crashes at the loader

no info givem at all in the reason

[red flower]

wdym register

are you on smods 0.9

[round lion]

it says it works in the lsp

[red flower]

that hasnt been a thing for years

you just do SMODS.Object { ... } and thats it

[frosty rampart]

or in the case of cardsleeves, CardSleeves.Sleeve { ... }
as per the cardsleeves wiki

hi meta how are u

[frosty rampart]

hi n! doing pretty good, just got registered for my final semester of my bachelor's degree

now that stone-verhaul's released, i've got a new secret mod idea cooking up, and i'm gonna try to work on my art skills while high roller is still waiting on my smods pr to be closed

how are you?

[red flower]

nice!!

im doing fine, still not in the mood for continuing my mod these days lol

[frosty rampart]

totally understandable lmao
glad you're alright at least

[short fulcrum]

is there a way to make a blind reward display custom text? I have a blind that is supposed to give $20, but it makes the blind really wide and look bad, so I'd just like to replace it with "$20" if that's possible

[red flower]

not without patching the ui as far as i see

[short fulcrum]

ah ok, I still have very little experience with patching, but I'll see if there's anything I can figure out

[red flower]

search for 'ph_blind_reward' in the code to find the places the reward is used

idk if there are others

[short fulcrum]

ok thanks, I'll have a look

[hushed briar]

should i hook the functions of cards i take ownership of or will it still run the base function if i define a new one

[wraith jolt]

I am trying to figure out how to implement the code of the Arm blind, where decreases poker hands, but only with even poker hands, like pair, two of a pair, and four a kind

but turning into a joker

which already quite complicated in my limited coding experience

calculate = function(self, blind, context)
if not blind.disabled then
if context.debuff_hand then
blind.triggered = false
if G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].level > 1 then
blind.triggered = true
if not context.check then
return {
level_up = -1

I know this is the arm but how I turn that into a Joker ability not a blind

[frosty rampart]

it will not still run the base function, you'll need to hook it or just rewrite the code in your redefined version

[hushed briar]

gotcha 👍

[umbral zodiac]

how many hooks can i make before i run out of memory challenge

[frosty rampart]

use context.before for the timing
during context.before, check if #context.scoring_hand (the length of the scoring hand) is even, and if it is (and the played hand's level is over 1) then you should be able to return level_up = -1 just like the blind does

[wraith jolt]

Let me see if I get this straight

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.debuff_hand_then and

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
if context.other_card:get_id() <= 10 and
context.other_card:get_id() >= 0 and
context.other_card:get_id() % 2 == 0 then
return {

hmm something like this?

[frosty rampart]

???

i said context.before, not context.individual

and you need to check if #context.scoring_hand % 2 == 0, not if a card's individual rank is even or odd

[wraith jolt]

Ok let me try again

sorry for being infuriatingly slow

calculate = context.before (self, card, context)

right then

#context.scoring_hand % 2 == 0

if context.debuff_hand_then and

or the other way around?

[frosty rampart]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.before then
    if #context.scoring_hand % 2 == 0 then
      return { level_up = -1 }
    end
  end
end

note that this will also level down high cards played with 2 and 4 cards if you have splash

[wraith jolt]

Thank you very much that very interesting that it will do that, I need to get better codding this

ok it didn't like it

key = "png.joker",
blueprint_compat = true,
rarity = 1,
cost = 4,
text = {
'Increase hand size by 2,'
atlas = 'png.Joker'
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
config = { extra = { h_size = 2 } },
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.before then
if #context.scoring_hand % 2 == 0 then
return { level_up = -1 }
end
end
end
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra.h_size } }
end,
add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
G.hand:change_size(card.ability.extra.h_size)
end,
remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.h_size)
end}

What did I position wrong

[frosty rampart]

you can wrap a code block in two sets of three tick marks (this character: `) to format it like code, that helps make it easier to read

like this

anyway without the crash i can't say for sure, but you appear to be missing a closing bracket after the text
and a comma after the atlas
and a comma after the calculate function's end

[wraith jolt]

see thank you for teaching me that

so wrap like this

    key = "png.joker",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 4,
    text = {
        'Increase hand size by 2,'
    atlas = 'png.Joker'
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { h_size = 2 } },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.before then
    if #context.scoring_hand % 2 == 0 then
      return { level_up = -1 }
    end,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.h_size } }
    end,
    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.hand:change_size(card.ability.extra.h_size)
    end,
    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.h_size)
    end} ```

[frosty rampart]

not the quote mark ', the tick mark `

if you have a qwerty keyboard it's probably to the left of the 1 key

[wraith jolt]

found it

there we go

and this the error message I get

[frosty rampart]

yea this is an issue with how you set up in the joker in general, not my calculate code
i assume you have a line that's just SMODS.Joker { before the first line you sent here?

[wraith jolt]

yes you are correct

how should I adjust it

[frosty rampart]

the missing comma after the atlas and the missing closing bracket for the text are a good place to start

[wraith jolt]

ok

[wraith jolt]

    key = "png.joker",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 4,
    text = {
        'Increase hand size by 2',
    }
    atlas = 'png.Joker',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { h_size = 2 } },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.before then
    if #context.scoring_hand % 2 == 0 then
      return { level_up = -1 }
    end,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.h_size } }
    end,
    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.hand:change_size(card.ability.extra.h_size)
    end,
    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.h_size)
    end,}```

Better?

[frosty rampart]

almost
you also need a comma after the closing bracket for text that you just added

[wraith jolt]

this new error

    key = "png.joker",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 4,
    text = {
        'Increase hand size by 2',
    },
    atlas = 'png.Joker',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { h_size = 2 } },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.before then
    if #context.scoring_hand % 2 == 0 then
      return { level_up = -1 }
    end,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.h_size } }
    end,
    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.hand:change_size(card.ability.extra.h_size)
    end,
    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.h_size)
    end,}```

[frosty rampart]

oop wait I see now
you need two more ends after the return statement in the calculate function

[wraith jolt]

omg that was nightmare to calculate

thanks you that insane

I should be able to use this code for my other even and odd jokers

[gaunt folio]

It disables the cards being stationary if I use Chicot or Luchador, but not when defeated. why won't it move when defeated? What am I missing?

[red flower]

when it is disabled it skips the calculate because of the first condition but when it's defeated it doesn't, thus the global gets set to true again

[gaunt folio]

Ah.

[red flower]

its not a good idea to set stuff in calculate without a strict context check

[naive agate]

though what exactly needs to be fixed in this case

[red flower]

setting the global to true in a strict context check

like in setting_blind or something

[naive agate]

like this?

ok it works

[faint urchin]

Is it possible to reset the effect of a tarot card after the end of a blind? I assume I can hook the end of blind function but I'm not sure what that is or if I can do this in the use function of a tarot card without a hook

[daring fern]

[limber aspen]

What's the context for self being drawn? I'm trying to do enhancement that copies other card's rank and suit, but when I change original while copy isn't in hand it does not sync so I want to sync when copy is being drawn

Or maybe a way of card being triggered when its not in hand?

[pulsar hawk]

i mean context.hand_drawn and context.other_drawn look like the places to start

[daring fern]

if context.hand_drawn and (function() local passed = false for k, v in pairs(context.hand_drawn) do if v == card then passed = true end end return passed end)()

[candid acorn]

how can i make my class that is extended from SMODS.Joker class appear in the collection/be treated as a joker by the game?

using set='Joker' and obj_table = SMODS.Jokers doesnt seem to do it

[gaunt phoenix]

Hi everyone, is there a way to make discarded cards go back in deck ? For a joker or for a boss, I only need one of them (please ping me)

[candid acorn]

idk exactly, but maybe use/make a context for when a card is discarded and use that to move it to the deck zone or after every discard Check the area where cards outside of the deck and scoring are kept (if it exists idk probably) and put all cards there into the deck area

thats my best guess, but as i said idk exactly

but i think theres a context for discarding cards cuz trading card has to use something thats a good place to strat

[gaunt phoenix]

Hmmm yes that could work

[daring fern]

G.FUNCS.draw_from_discard_to_deck()

[gaunt phoenix]

Thanks !

[limber aspen]

It works! :3

[hushed field]

Anyone who's set up Cryptid crossmod know how to make it only load if Cryptid itself is loaded, rather than Cryptlib?

[daring fern]

if next(SMODS.find_mod('Cryptid'))

[hushed field]

nevermind, found the CryptLibNoCryptid variable to check for

[hushed field]

Good point. Thought it slipped bythat, but I'm realizing I just failed to use that set up properly at some point, haha

[gaunt phoenix]

(It worked, thanks ! ✨)

[limber aspen]

How do i make card.config.variable (Added externally) not reset on exit to menu? When I load run it just resets to nil

[daring fern]

You put it in card.ability.variable instead.

[limber aspen]

Hmm I'll try

Thanks

[hushed field]

Are there any issues with x chips crashing on the latest smods

[wintry solar]

Proper support for this is coming in the next smods version

[hushed field]

ah, seems it's Cryptlib/Cryptid related

forgot I had that enabled after fixing a compatibility bug

[gaunt phoenix]

I'm trying to make a clean flip animation, just like tarot cards in vanilla.

People are talking a lot about Vanilla Remade for understanding, but I can't manage to figure it out.. Could someone help me and try to explain me how to make a tarot-like animation on a card ? (pls ping me)

(for example, what is "mod_conv" ?)

[hushed field]

mod_conv is an argument you can put onto a tarot consumable, and takes the key of an enhancement. Every tarot card that turns cards into an enhanced cards shares code, so they just check to see if the mod_conv field is given

What type of card are you trying to make?

[gaunt phoenix]

A modded enhancement

should I do something like mod_conv([key]) ?

[hushed field]

no, no, mod_conv is a field and just takes a key, it's not a function you call

Can you give a bit more details on what you're trying to do? Are you just adding a tarot that creates your modded enhancement?

[gaunt phoenix]

I'm trying to make a modded consumable to enhance 2 cards into a modded enhancement, just like The Magician or The Empress

and I struggle on the animation part

[hushed field]

Ah, yeah. I can still explain how the flip animation works, but you won't need it

[daring fern]

config = {max_highlighted = 2, mod_conv = 'm_modprefix_key'}

[hushed field]

What you're missing is that the code already has a built-in way to just make that happen. The reason there's seemingly no code in those vanilla remade tarots is because there's a default format that those tarots need, and they just do it automatically. You only need to make sure there's a correct mod_conv field and max_highlighted field in their config table

Where max_highlighted is the amount of cards it works on, and mod_conv is the key for your enhancement

[gaunt phoenix]

oooh okay

Seems easier explained like that ;;

thanks !

[hushed field]

Vanilla Remade is a very good tool, but just looking at the code will only give you reference, not explanation, yeah, haha

[wintry solar]

This is a brilliant explanation Ice

[stiff locust]

vanilla remade's hanged man crashed when i tried to use it but other than that yeah its pretty solid

[hushed field]

The vanilla remade wiki is also very handy to check out, btw, but I see that there's no explanation of how to use mod_conv to just have that functionality immediately accessible

[red flower]

vanillaremade includes the code to change the enhancements manually with animations btw

[hushed field]

It's the block that's commented out, no? I think eyes sometimes glaze over that a bit, haha, but it's good its in there

[red flower]

yeah

[gaunt phoenix]

It worked perfectly, thanks

[red flower]

works fine for me

[primal robin]

goddamnit, UI moment

[smoky holly]

how do i change the atlas position of the sprite when it triggers?

or i guess, what variable would i reference

[daring fern]

card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = x, y = y})

[smoky holly]

thank you

[primal robin]

damn hes so right

[slim ferry]

theres like two lua max values

theres math.maxinteger which is the largest before float loses whole number precision (iirc) and math.huge which is infinity

[naive reef]

does lua have/use ints at all?

or is it far enough abstracted it doesn’t matter

[slim ferry]

i mean kind of i think but it just automatically switches between them

there is a type function but it just returns "number" for both

[naive reef]

ah

so “number” goes to infinity it just loses precision slowly?

[slim ferry]

pretty much yeah

its just kind of always a float

the distinction doesnt matter much outside of vscode which will show the exact value of known integers but not display the values of other numbers

[naive reef]

can number be used as a boolean?

[slim ferry]

yeah

anything that isnt false or nil in lua will act as true

[naive reef]

0 is true?

[slim ferry]

yeah

[naive reef]

😭

[slim ferry]

it would kinda be annoying if it wasnt

tbh

since often values will be set as x = x or some number

so if 0 acts as false there that would be very inconvenient

[naive reef]

hm i see

quite different language than i’m used to

i mostly do c and java for context

So I am using Joker Forge and I want my Joker to destroy all Jokers with the Economy Type, add their sell value and store their functions inside my Joker. Is it possible to make this using Joker Forge? And if it is then how can I do it?

Doesn't seem like the Joker types are present in the editor.

[red flower]

wdym by joker types

[slim ferry]

i assume the wiki types

which

arent a thing code wise

so this isnt possible to make in general, joker forge or not

at least not at the moment

[wind steppe]

i think jokerforge lets you define types they just dont do anything

could be wrong though

[slim ferry]

well thats SMODS.ObjectType

which are referred to as pools in jf

and not types

[wind steppe]

no im thinking of something else

hold on

its not type its "effect" apparently

but you can see it as nil here implying sometimes its not nil

[slim ferry]

oh

like the unused vanilla thing

theres probably a good reason you cant check it since i dont think every vanilla joker even has that

[spiral mural]

what are all of the jokers in the base game that use mod_mult

[hushed field]

seems like a good question that ctrl-f can solve, haha

not sure if there's a list

[spiral mural]

i could do something a biit more hacky

by just replacing mod_mult if its from a vanilla joker

[hushed field]

what are you trying to do?

[spiral mural]

ok so

this won't modify the message that follows

it will modify the amount added though

[slim ferry]

hardcoded messages moment...

[spiral mural]

yea :P

[slim ferry]

also

every vanilla joker uses mod_mult right

[spiral mural]

💔

[slim ferry]

because the automatic messages are an SMODS thing afaik

[spiral mural]

well i can't erase every message sent through from a vanlla joker

even if it has mult in it because of scaling jokers

[hushed field]

Are there any hardcoded messages for mult scoring?

No, right?

Oops, didn't mean to reply there

[spiral mural]

blunder !

[hushed field]

I have some code in Kino that just turns every mod_mult into mult, so it's passed to the smods system

I've never encountered issues stemming from that

But I could for sure be missing something

[slim ferry]

anything that uses mod stuff to avoid the default message wont like that

[spiral mural]

just limit iti

to all of the vanilla jokers

[hushed field]

in which case you can limit it to vanilla jokers

which i think my code does, but i'm not sure

i haven't touched it in aaaages, haha

[red flower]

their fault for not using the api method for that

[spiral mural]

ok but what if their mod was awesome and not lame...

and there was some use cases where mod_mult is awesome..

[hushed field]

it's part of a bigger hook in my code, but I just disable the vanilla messages this way. I don't check for source mod, which I'm gonna add for safety, but it's been rare enough that I've not ever noticed or have had reports of any issues coming from it. It's just code that's part of a function Card.calculate_joker(self,context) hook

[wintry solar]

there is an ever so slight distinction between chips and chip_mod

I'm not aware of it the difference propagates across to the mult versions, I haven't bothered to check

[short fulcrum]

I'm trying to patch in a custom string to the dictionary

b_crop_custom_reward="$20"

but when I call for it it just returns "ERROR"

I tested it by calling for one of the already existing entries and it works fine, so it's something to do with this

does the prefix matter?

[hushed field]

what do you mean patch in a custom string?

[short fulcrum]

sorry if I'm not using the right terminology, I mean I'm adding a new entry to the dictionary so it can be called by the localize function

don't know why it broke the lines up like that

[hushed field]

How's your dictionary set up? It might be easier to help if we have some code snippets!

[short fulcrum]

oh can you create your own dictionary? I was patching it into the one in Balatro's source code

didn't know you could make your own

how would I go about that

[red flower]

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

[short fulcrum]

I did try and use my own localization file initially but I didn't know how to make it work

for context I'm trying to change the blind reward text for a specific boss blind

oh wait I see it in the wiki

ok I guess I'll try do that

though what's the difference between dictionary and v_dictionary? should I use one over the other?

[red flower]

v_ is for entries with variables (#1# etc)

[short fulcrum]

ah okay, the normal one should suffice

[slim ferry]

why does my game not like this gradient... it crashes because compare number when nil whenever its displayed

[red flower]

the [i] ones are numbers

[slim ferry]

what

wdym

[red flower]

oh sorry i misread the color

i didnt see it was rarity and i thought you were indexing a color

[hushed field]

Smods is luckily set up in such a way that you don't often need patching, unless you're trying to get in-between some code! It's definitely a good tool, but if you're considering using a lovely patch, you'll most likely be able to do the same thing without it. Though there are exceptions

[slim ferry]

actually isnt G.C.RARITY[4] just G.C.PURPLE

[red flower]

no

[slim ferry]

fuck

well idk what to do then

[red flower]

can you copy it here so i can test

[short fulcrum]

Ok thanks for the advice, I'm still learning all this along the way (I've never coded in my life but this is making me learn stuff) and I'm really glad there's so many cool people to help

[slim ferry]

wait nvm i realized im a fucking idiot

i forgot

to do SMODS.Gradient

😭

my bad gang

[hushed field]

So are you trying to add a new text entry to overwrite a specific blind, or is it a whole new blind that you're adding?

[short fulcrum]

I'm adding a new blind (The Crop) which I've already made work, I'm just trying to make the blind reward text (which is usually a string of dollar signs) for that specific blind into something different

its gimmick is that you lose $10 every hand played, but the reward is $20, so it encourages builds that can beat it in one hand

[hushed field]

Oh, I've never seen a modded blind mess with the payout there! I'd have to look into the code to see how you'd set that up, as I'm not sure Blinds have a build in way to change that 🤔 I see why you were looking into patches, haha

[short fulcrum]

I've seen people ask the question in here before but they went unanswered

[red flower]

its hardcoded to repeat the $ symbol
