[wintry solar]

Yeah I think it’s catching itself

[dapper sun]

ah

[wintry solar]

Add a and context.card ~= card

[dapper sun]

okii

[lyric wadi]

game is crashing when switching save files, never happened before i added a localization file to my mod

is there something i overlooked about how to load in loc files or something

[red flower]

localization files just need to be put in the correct folder with the correct structure, you don't need to load them or anything

what's the crash

[red flower]

are you sure it's not a problem with deck creator

something is trying to parse multi box descriptions as single box

[red flower]

seems like it is from the log

[lyric wadi]

aw heck

so any recommendation for testing tools

i usually just use it to make a deck where you start with a joker i wanna test

[wind steppe]

debugplus

[stoic void]

I screenshotted my message and didnt forward it because... idk

Ima eat dinner now, so i most likely wont respond immediately

[dapper sun]

how would i make a challenge's joker start with a modded sticker

[twilit tundra]

how do pseudoseeds work how do i just get a random item from a table i'm looking at other mods' code for reference do i need to constantly change what pseudoseed i'm using? what do i even put in pseudoseed()

[slim ferry]

you dont need to use pseudoseed anymore, you can just put a plain string to any of the pseudorandom functions and itll automatically use pseudoseed

use pseudorandom_element(table, seed) to get a random table element

[junior tapir]

How do I check whether a card is in a pool in the function Card:set_cost() if I have a pool like this one

SMODS.ObjectType({
    key = "Interest_Vouchers",
    default = "v_seed_money",
    cards = {
        v_seed_money = true,
        v_money_tree = true
    }
})

(setting the cost to a voucher in another way would too be appreciated)

[smoky holly]

i notice that when i change the pixel_size of jokers they're no longer centered, do i need them to be in the top-left of their position in the atlas? or the center?

it would appear to be the case

[red flower]

if (self.config.center.pools or {}).Interest_Vouchers then

[teal grotto]

    local scoring = {}
    for _, card in pairs(hand) do
            scoring[#scoring + 1] = card
    end
    return scoring
end,```
HOW TF DO I JUST MAKE ALL THE CARDS SCORE

[red flower]

return { hand }?

[teal grotto]

only first card scores

[red flower]

works fine for me

can i see the entire code

[teal grotto]

oh wait im just stupid

works now lol

ty

thing is thats not my actual code and i want only the specific cards in the hand to score

[lucid trench]

yo guys i'm kinda new to modding in general, i know some lua but it's difficult for me to find the variables i need to do certain things, i wanted to make a simple joker: each stone cart discarded gives +3 to mult

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.on_discard_card then
if card.base and card.base.type == 'STONE' then
context.mult = (context.mult or 0) + card.ability.extra.mult
return {
message = 'Upgraded!',
color = G.C.RED
}
end
if context.joker_main then
return {
mult = card.ability.extra.mult
}
end
end
end

i tried a lot of things and this is the one that got me the nearest

[red flower]

it just needs to be a table of all card combinations

[red flower]

idk how that got you nearest because on_discard_card and base.type don't exist afaik

[slim ferry]

it doesnt

[lucid trench]

i have no idea

at least it gave me some +3 prompts, but nothing else

[red flower]

your base mult might be 3 already so the joker_main part is scoring

anyway have you checked green joker

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/ccfa14536d9f8c32ab716abd178b7d7078c59253/src/jokers.lua#L1501

[lucid trench]

oh damn thanks, i was searching for this type of snippets

[red flower]

you would move what's in context.before to the discard part

[lucid trench]

the base problem was that i couldn't find the right variables from the source code

[lucid trench]

thanks

[red flower]

that's why i made that repo ;3

you can also check stone joker for the stone card part

[bitter juniper]

I edited the low contrast deck version sprites, how can I edit the high constrast version now?

[red flower]

i have no idea with that format, i would recommend switching to the modern way of doing this
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/DeckSkinTemplate

[teal grotto]

random question
where the fuck is the documentation for smods.font

[slim ferry]

wait wtf

where did it go

it was definitely there first

[bitter juniper]

Can you help me with it? I want to change the face cards plus Ace sprites in both low and high contrast versions. I have the pngs already I just didn´t understand what to do with the code.

[red flower]

there isn't one merged but there's one in the wiki PRs iirc

[red flower]

i dont have much idea about this, i would recommend just changing the images in that repository

[bitter juniper]

there s no deck pngs tho, its just icons and numbers

[red flower]

the numbers are the cards

[lucid trench]

uh is there any video or step by step documentation for each command? the smods one is a bit chaotic

[red flower]

not really

[bitter juniper]

ohhhh

got in

thanks

[red flower]

there's a video but it's kinda outdated and basic

[lucid trench]

damn, alr maybe this is a rushed start. What si the most basic thing i can make? Simple +4 joker?

[red flower]

yeah

[lucid trench]

let's roll

[bitter juniper]

should'nt this work? its not working

[red flower]

you're only defining the atlas objects there, not the skin

[bitter juniper]

whats an atlas object

[red flower]

the object that holds the sprite

SMODS.Atlas

you need the SMODS.DeckSkin now

[bitter juniper]

im trying to think how to do it with those hints

or will you get mad if I didnt understand what im supposed to do?

[red flower]

i literally sent you the code 😭

[bitter juniper]

ohhh

[red flower]

you're missing this part
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/d43316d97bc927f3de431dd84c0283d41e69761a/Mods/DeckSkinTemplate/DeckSkinTemplate.lua#L29

[bitter juniper]

pasted it

do i need to edit something?

[red flower]

remove the 3 suit_icon lines if you're not going to use icons

[bitter juniper]

i did that

thats what i have

[red flower]

that should work for hearts i think?

idk I've never done this

[bitter juniper]

lol

i have no clue too

not working 😭

[calm reef]

Is there somewhere to find the ids of every vanilla joker? I tried looking on the wiki but can't find anything

[bitter juniper]

maybe they re id are they number?

[calm reef]

i mean keys mb

[slim ferry]

vanillaremade uses the vanilla keys for everything

you can look at that

[red flower]

https://jokerforge.jaydchw.com/keys/jokers

[slim ferry]

that also works ig

[stoic void]

Ik what you did

I think

Where it says atlas = atlas_lc.key
Shouldn’t it be the key of your lc atlas

[calm reef]

ty!!!!!!

[red flower]

that's what atlas_lc.key is

[stoic void]

Oh

I thought it should have been TroopaDeckLC

[red flower]

did you check the friends of jimbo menu

[stoic void]

Well I suck at Lua then lol

[bitter juniper]

yep

[red flower]

that's the same thing here yeah

[red flower]

no clue then

[red flower]

check hearts

[red flower]

yeah the "Spades", ... is not going to do anything

[bitter juniper]

The primate way was working LOL 😭

[bitter juniper]

i remove it? i Added it

[red flower]

yeah

[bitter juniper]

done

it wont work tho

alrd tried

[red flower]

let me test stuff myself

[bitter juniper]

okie dokie

thanks :D

[red flower]

oh where is this file

[bitter juniper]

in my mod folder

alongside "assets"

[red flower]

do you have a .json

[bitter juniper]

nop

just lua

[red flower]

you need to add that

[bitter juniper]

and copy paste the lua stuff?

[red flower]

check the one in the repository

[bitter juniper]

aight

[red flower]

no its a different thing

[bitter juniper]

Does its name needs to be DeckSkinTemplate?

[bitter juniper]

aight

done

[red flower]

i can be whatever you want, usually the name of the mod

[bitter juniper]

Done

[red flower]

check if it loads now, you should see it in the mod menu

[bitter juniper]

oh wait

i didnt even tried to check the mods menu, i thought i was modifying the game's files itself 😭

Ima name it my mod name now, right?

[red flower]

uhh it has an error it seems

[bitter juniper]

I probably need to edit the json file

[red flower]

ah yeah the main_file should point to your lua

[bitter juniper]

this might work, now?

nvm

[red flower]

that's good it means it loaded

[bitter juniper]

ill try to reset the lua one

i ve been messing w it

[red flower]

yeah theres a syntax error somewhere

[bitter juniper]

nop

crash

[red flower]

is it the same crash

[bitter juniper]

nop

[red flower]

ah ok

you need to remove the suit_icon lines i said before

[bitter juniper]

aight

[red flower]

these

[bitter juniper]

like this?

not working

shit's hard lol

[stoic void]

That is what code is like

Then you realise you missed like one letter or something and it just works

Which is why I love code

[bitter juniper]

lmao

[red flower]

what's not working

does it crash or does it not show up

[bitter juniper]

crash

[red flower]

you're missing a } before SMODS.DeckSkin

[bitter juniper]

with space?

[red flower]

not necessary

[stoic void]

Ohh yeah i see

[bitter juniper]

working

lesgoo

let me see if they re there

[stoic void]

What did I say

😭

[bitter juniper]

😭

[slim ferry]

what not using a code editor does to someone

[bitter juniper]

LMAO

[red flower]

again, check hearts

[bitter juniper]

not there too

[slim ferry]

and also check the last skin of hearts

since thats where itll be

[bitter juniper]

OHH

THERE

THE ALST SKIN

wait

[red flower]

yeah it's probably going to be the wrong one

[bitter juniper]

so this adds a deck instead of retexturing it?

[red flower]

yeah

[bitter juniper]

oh my dumbass

lmao

[stoic void]

Ok, well that’s good that it works

[bitter juniper]

Only in hearts tho

[red flower]

now you need to add an SMODS.DeckSkin for each suit

[bitter juniper]

got it

brb

can I change the skin name instead of EXAMPLE?

loc.txt?

[vale crow]

When you create a seal, where is the calculate function stored? Can't find it in shared_seals or SMODS.Seals.

[red flower]

yes

[slim ferry]

any of SMODS.Seals, SMODS.Seal.obj_buffer or G.P_SEALS

[red flower]

it should be in SMODS.Seals.key.calculate

[slim ferry]

SMODS.Seal.obj_buffer is number indexed though so probably dont use that

[bitter juniper]

i added the different suits

not showing

am I doing smoething wrong?

[vale crow]

Ok thanks!

[lucid trench]

ok now i understand somethings, i did some base jokers tests and the all worked, now I just need to get the enhanchment thing

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_stone
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.d_mult, card.ability.extra.h_mult}}
    end,

   --I DID THIS BASICALLY RANDOM
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.discard and SMODS.has_enhancement(playing_card, 'm_stone') then
            return {
                d_mult = card.ability.extra.d_mult,
            }
        end
    end,

[red flower]

give it a different key

[bitter juniper]

like what? the same key for every suit?

oh wait

make it like this?

[red flower]

liek key = "example" should be different for each

[bitter juniper]

key1 for hearts. key2 for spades etc...

okay got it

done

got it

all working

dont ask lol

what if I want to change the rest of the deck what do I add to the code? (Ace card)

[red flower]

i think the code already changes all the cards

[bitter juniper]

oh okay

[red flower]

but its set to show the face cards in the preview

[bitter juniper]

so just editing the texture?

[red flower]

yeah

[bitter juniper]

aight

thank you so much

:D

[short fulcrum]

I know some mods can change what ante the game is won at, is there a way to make a blind unable to appear in the ante before the final one (even if a mod changes what that is)

[manic tusk]

Would it be possible to make a joker trigger when a playing card is modified? The closest I can find is when a consumable card is used, but that wouldn't apply when, for example, midas mask or vampire modify a card

[red flower]

i think that's the default for showdowns but im not sure

[bitter juniper]

just one more question

how do I change the mod image?

[red flower]

there's context.setting_ability for enhancements
for the rest of the modifications you need hooks i think

[bitter juniper]

I can only edit badge colour in the json file

[short fulcrum]

I only want it to not appear in the ante exactly one below the final ante (including if that value is changed), it should be able to appear in every other non-showdown ante

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-add-a-custom-icon

[manic tusk]

The specific one I'm looking at is any suit change, so I'll look into using hooks, thank you

[bitter juniper]

thanks

[red flower]

ah
hmm you can just check the ante in in_pool then

[bitter juniper]

in assets? the png file

[red flower]

ah wait no, there's a context for modifying suits

check the wiki i dont recall the name

[short fulcrum]

right now I've got this:

    in_pool = function(self)
        local ante = G.GAME.round_resets.ante

        if G.GAME.round_resets.ante = 7 or G.GAME.round_resets.ante <= 2 then
            return false
        else
            return true
        end
    end

which would work in most situations, but if the final ante is changed, it obviously wouldn't change that

[red flower]

so you need to know how to check the final ante?

let me check the code

[short fulcrum]

pretty much, I just need that minus 1

[red flower]

G.GAME.win_ante

[manic tusk]

I'm having trouble finding this, do you mean the balatromodded wiki or balatrowiki?

[short fulcrum]

ah awesome thanks, I'll test it out

[teal grotto]

how do i make a suitless rank
(can form 3oak, but not flushes)

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions#contextchange_suitcontextchange_rank

[manic tusk]

Ah, a third wiki, thank you !

[red flower]

this should be your main one

[manic tusk]

I even have that one open but I didn't think of it as a wiki

I guess it's just github in my mind first

I am pretty new to this

[teal grotto]

the steamodded wiki is so unhelpful sometimes ;-;

[red flower]

no idea but you can check Aikoyori's mod, it has that

[teal grotto]

aight

[lucid trench]

Ok now the things changed, 2 problems:
1 - Sometimes crashes when cards are pulled from deck (probably cause of enhancement)
2- The stone discard activates but crashes the game whenever an enhanced card is discarded (any enhance)

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_stone
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.d_mult, card.ability.extra.h_mult}}
    end,

   --I DID THIS BASICALLY RANDOM
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.discard and SMODS.has_enhancement(playing_card, 'm_stone') then
            return {
                d_mult = card.ability.extra.d_mult,
            }
        end
    end,

[red flower]

playing_card is nothing

[lucid trench]

where do i declare it?

[red flower]

in context.discard the playing card is context.other_card

also d_mult is not a thing

[lucid trench]

i tought that the variables names in loc_vars didn't matter, my bad

[red flower]

i dont mean those

those are fine

i mean the d_mult = ...

[lucid trench]

oh ok, ty

[red flower]

here's is an example of how to scale a card
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions#step-2-logiceffects

[teal grotto]

how do you hook a function but like put something in the middle of it

[lucid trench]

It works, thanks man

[red flower]

lovely patches

[teal grotto]

are they as hard to make as they look
no formatting is literally going to kill me

[red flower]

no

they're easy

[teal grotto]

everything is the same colour

[red flower]

well if you need highlights just code in the dump and then move it to a patch

[unkempt bronze]

guys, may I ask for new help?

                    local xiferp_up_another_step = SMODS.poll_enhancement({guaranteed = true, type_key = 'shuffletheseed'})
                    card:set_ability(xiferp_up_another_step, nil, true)   
                 end```
This isn't enhancing any cards

SMODS.Consumable {
    key = "flynnine",
    set = "xiferp_Element",
    atlas = "Golden_Brick_Road",
    cost = 3,
    pos = { x = 14, y = 6 },
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    config = { extra = { element_no = 103, odds = 3, yes_is_no = false }},
    keep_on_use = function(self, card)
       return true
    end,
    can_use = function(self, card)   
      if card.ability.extra.yes_is_no == false then
        return true

    end,

                SMODS.add_card({ key = 'c_xiferp_xenon' })
        end    
    end
end
}```

here is it in context

[wind steppe]

you should probably check card.ability.extra.yes_is_no after checking for context.individual

i dont see any issues with the snippet though, make sure the code is being reached in the first place with a print or something

[unkempt bronze]

thank you

[wind steppe]

also oops won't affect your joker's description (still affects the chance)

+the description is unclear about when that chance is rolled

[unkempt bronze]

doesn't seem to work

[wind steppe]

by that do you mean the code isnt being reached?

[unkempt bronze]

code's not reached, yea

[wind steppe]

check if the destroying code is reached

[unkempt bronze]

Oh, wait, it works actually

thank you!

(took playing a hand, but still works)

[wind steppe]

also the timing at which it enhances is a little weird?

me personally id put it in context.before

wait no thats held in hand nvm

this would still have issues with something like cryptid's None though so i still recommend using context.before

[unkempt bronze]

fair

Thanks anyways!

[spiral mural]

how does a vanilla blind debuff a card

[unkempt bronze]

SMODS.Blind {
    key = "club",
    dollars = 5,
    mult = 2,
    debuff = { suit = "Clubs" },
    pos = { x = 0, y = 4 },
    boss = { min = 1 },
    boss_colour = HEX("b9cb92")
}```
Here's how the boss blind "The Club" does it

[wind steppe]

why do you care about vanilla implementations we have smods

[spiral mural]

what function does a vanilla blind use to debuff a card

[teal grotto]

how do you change ante scaling on a specific deck?

[spiral mural]

hooking

🪱

[wind steppe]

alter G.GAME.modifiers.scaling (its what Green and Purple stake use)

[teal grotto]

alright

[wind steppe]

both stakes increase it by 1

[spiral mural]

so card:set_debuff...

[red flower]

yes

[unkempt bronze]

I have an error in the following line:
G.GAME.card.Joker.display_size.h = 0.7 * G.GAME.card.Joker.display_size.h
It's supposed to squash all jokers by 70%

[red flower]

because that line is non sensical

[unkempt bronze]

Well, how would I do it?

[red flower]

dunno

[wind steppe]

id hook update

[unkempt bronze]

the line's supposed to read the joker's display size and shrink it like how the Wee Joker does it

[wind steppe]

if whatever condition is satisfied loop through G.I.CARD every frame and squash every unflagged card, then add a flag to the card so you dont further squash it next frame

[unkempt bronze]

        G.GAME.xiferp_lineseven_xmult = (G.GAME.xiferp_lineseven_xmult or 0) + 5
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                func = function()
                        G.GAME.card.Joker.display_size.h = 0.7 * G.GAME.card.Joker.display_size.h
                    return true
                end
            })) 
    end,```
Here's the line's context

[wind steppe]

can i ask why your xmult scaling starts at 0

[unkempt bronze]

it doesn't

not practically at least

[wind steppe]

whats with the G.GAME.xiferp_lineseven_xmult or 0 defaulting to 0 then

[unkempt bronze]

copy-paste thing

[wind steppe]

in the event you would want to set a flag in G.GAME

then hook update and check for it every frame: if its true, loop through G.I.CARD and squash every unflagged card, then add a flag to the card so you dont further squash it next frame

also check to make sure the card is a joker

[unkempt bronze]

Anything a bit simpler? One that just starts with the jokers?

[wind steppe]

i mean theoretically you could loop through G.I.CARD in the event if you dont want it to apply to any future jokers

but also i dont think any of that is that complicated? G.I.CARD is a table containing every currently visible card

you have to loop through it with pairs

[unkempt bronze]

I'll code that up later.

(after dinner, tell you consequences tomorrow)

[dawn granite]

huh

[red flower]

1.0 is not out

: )

its in beta

[dawn granite]

i should just set it to like 0.smth then right

[red flower]

"Steamodded (>=1.0.0~BETA)" i think

i just set it to the exact one "Steamodded (>=1.0.0~BETA-0624a)"

[dawn granite]

ok it's working now

[teal grotto]

how do you make blinds "score at least as low as:"

[red flower]

what do you mean

[teal grotto]

like blind requirement is -300
and you need to score that much or lower

[white hull]

Assuming you already have a way to decrease score, probably just make the blind itself compare scores and trigger a win if it's correct

I think it has a calculate function

[young leaf]

ive been having trouble getting these consumables to appear correctly
they are 64 x 64 pixel squares but ive tried setting their px and py, defining pixel size and display size, and theyre always stretched into the default dimensions
does changing these values work for consumables or just jokers?
(spoilers for blue prince)

[short fulcrum]

I'd imagine spacing them out in your atlas while pretending they're the size of normal joker cards (71*95) would work

though I guess they'd be off-centre

[young leaf]

that works!
i just moved them to be in the center
i guess the only issue is you can still grab it from that 71 x 95 zone but im ok with that for now

alright pixel_size fixed that issue huzzah

[round lion]

i don't have can use set, why isnt it usable?

[harsh belfry]

answered your own question

you don't have a can use function

[round lion]

i was out here thinking it would just be usable at any time

how should use select card as a function anyway

i got a attempt to compare number with table on

if G.GAME.hands[G.handlist[i]].level > 0 and G.handlist[i] ~= card.config.extra.poker_hand then

wait

[daring fern]

to_big(G.GAME.hands[G.handlist[i]].level) > to_big(0)

[gilded blaze]

you only need field select_card = CardArea

[round lion]

im trying to prevent a situation where you use it but the targeted hand isnt visible yet

[gilded blaze]

what are you trying to do

[round lion]

trying to make a legendary consumable that sacrifices everything in exchange for supercharging a poker hand

doesnt matter because i got wrong number of arguments to insert over
table.insert{todestroy, G.playing_cards[i]}

[gilded blaze]

that does "everything" mean in this context

[round lion]

Aka. "Dying Neutron Star"

Trades all your enhanced cards, jokers, and hand levels for levels on a hand determined the moment the card generates.```

wait a mminute

-# that was another bug, still at large is the main elephant in the room

[gilded blaze]

you wrapped the values in curvy brackets, not regular ones

lua treats that as a single table

[round lion]

i feel like the entire circus rn.

why does times negative 1 no llonger work for flipping

[gilded blaze]

what

did you mean Card:flip

[round lion]

no

i mean turning a number negative

[red flower]

you need to multiply harder

[round lion]

atp ima just use the method that works every time

[pulsar hawk]

y'all is there an easier way to do custom boxes for tooltips?

because istg having to define them from scratch, then hook UIE functions to see the custom tooltip just feels off

[frosty rampart]

yea
in localization, do this

return {
  descriptions = {
    ...
    Other = {
      custom_tooltip = {
        name = "Something",
        text = {
          "This is a custom tooltip"
        }
      },
      ...

and then in the loc_vars function for the object you want the custom tooltip, do this

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { set = "Other", key = "custom_tooltip" }
  ...
end

the key of the tooltip doesn't require a mod prefix but it's probably a good idea to set it anyway

[next pivot]

do you guys know a good way to stack cards in a cardarea vertically?

[pulsar hawk]

ah - not quite what i mean, apologies. I mean doing smth like this

[frosty rampart]

a
my bad lol
yea idk balatro ui is jank

[pulsar hawk]

you ever pour your heart and soul into a feature and forget to do micro-commits?

[round lion]

how do i use timers

[eager anvil]

edit: I figured it out

[sturdy compass]

I forget the exact reasoning but iirc it's because it would require Thunk to endorse a third-party modding library which he does not want to do

[eager anvil]

ur wrong, it works now it was just a typo in my code

[sturdy compass]

I am so sorry I replied to the wrong thing

That was meant for modding general

[eager anvil]

ah no worries haha ^^
I assumed you saw my pre-edited message somehow

[wild patrol]

Looking for ideas of twitch commands for the twitch mod if you could have the ability to control a streamers run what would you want to control

[loud citrus]

give the player a random negative, eternal, rental joker, it would be funny if it was just jimbo too

[wild patrol]

Had an idea for a random joker command

So yeah might do that instead

My favorite working command so far is the fake soul card

Gives you a soul that just makes a fart sound

And says pranked

[glass scaffold]

A more ragebait version of the Win tarot from Yahimod

Love it.

[loud citrus]

another silly one, if in a shop, forces them to move on, if selecting a blind, forces them to skip it, if in a blind, forces them to play a hand

[glass scaffold]

Anyways, code no work and don't know why. No crash or anything.

[wild patrol]

Can u show the whole code

I'm not very smort but I think I might know

If not someone will correct me

[loud citrus]

Xmult_mod and Xchips_mod needs to be a config value or apart of a message

depends on your goal

[glass scaffold]

Just do the xChips and xMult as determined in the config

[round lion]

how do i use the sprite manipulation functions

wait i might have a plan

[glass scaffold]

Ok, now it's saying xnil. What is wrong with it where it's not triggering?

and it's not the Xmult_mod needing to be in a config, there are other Jokers in my mod that use the same method to do xMult

[wild patrol]

I think I know this what does the very top of the code look like

Had very similar thing when working on the monkey joker

[glass scaffold]

Here's the full code.

[wild patrol]

I think xchips_mod should just be x_chips

Same for xmult_mod

If I'm not mistaken

I'm still learning this stuff as I go but I think that's how I fixed mine

[daring fern]

You need a context check.

[glass scaffold]

do I need to chuck context.joker_main in?

[daring fern]

Yes, that would replace context.cardarea == G.play

[loud citrus]

The legend has drooped in

[glass scaffold]

Yeah, still not triggering at all.

[red flower]

you're not returning

[loud citrus]

this is acrobat form vanillaremade, this should be a good example

[glass scaffold]

I was looking at Dusk. I forgot Acrobat even existed, that would have been faster.

[loud citrus]

lol

[glass scaffold]

How is this not triggering? I'm wasting all my hands except the last one and nothing.

[red flower]

reread the structure of this

check what it is returning

[glass scaffold]

Oh my god. I just checked the return.

[golden lake]

I am terrified of people who code with non-monospaced fonts

[glass scaffold]

It is a hell.

FINALLY WORKS

[limber aspen]

When does set_sprites gets called?

And is front in set_sprites(self, card, front) a bool

I figured it out

Seems like front is not bool

[red flower]

front is the playing card front iirc

so the suit and rank i think

[toxic cave]

how do you check for a specific deck? i do this but it doesnt seem to work

no errors btw, it just does nothing

[red flower]

the key should be b_[mod prefix]_[deck key]

[toxic cave]

im so smart and intelligent how do i keep on forgetting this

[stoic void]

your inteligence is taking up too much space in your brain, you have to become stupid to remeber /j

[toxic cave]

nope still nothing

i took these patches from VR and replaced the next(smods.find_card()) parts with IsEffectDeck

[stoic void]

use the mod prefix

wait no I cant read

excuse my dumbassery

[red flower]

ah im stupid also, you're checking the key wrong

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-the-set-pool-or-key-of-a-specific-cardobject

[toxic cave]

wait

how does vr smeared joker work?

it does this but i dont see it patch the actual smeared_check

and the smeared_check fails automatically because it doesnt have the actual smeared joker

or wait does find_joker just do it by name and im stupid

[daring fern]

Yes, but VanillaRemade Smeared Joker doesn't have name set.

[junior tapir]

Does anyone know how to force skip a pack?

[daring fern]

‎

[wintry solar]

I admire your persistence on these

[teal grotto]

is it possible to make jokers take up 2 slots?
because i tried incrementing all joker values and it seems to have made the jokers take up 2 slots

[slim ferry]

yes, card.ability.extra_slots_used

[teal grotto]

ty

[hasty kelp]

How to add your own poker hands

Like a poker hand named junk which is half a high card score

[wild patrol]

i did e_bootleg and ttv_e_bootleg

and keep getting this crash telling me i'm missing the e_ prefix

[slim ferry]

the mod prefix is always after the class prefix

its e_ttv_bootleg

[wild patrol]

oh ok

the vision is real

[limber aspen]

Is there a built in functions for selecting and deselecting a card?

[wild patrol]

slightly updated

but this probably what i'm going for when I mentioned the idea of temu jokers

[daring fern]

card.area:add_to_highlighted(card) and card.area:remove_from_highlighted(card)

[smoky holly]

im trying to make an idol-like joker but for some reason it's crashing when i hover over it in my collection while a run is open, and not outside of it

    end
end```

i followed it exactly as it tells me in ExampleMods

[red flower]

the answer is that it wasn't there when I wrote the code, and i never noticed it changed
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/commit/b2f59512e9878f316e3da48338200cf7072af2c3

i dont like this change because you can't hook the function but whatever

[red flower]

i dont really see the issue but you can check the implementation in vanillaremade to compare

i did some things different that i didn't like in the examples

[smoky holly]

how important is appending G.GAME.round_resets.ante to the seed btw?

ah i think i see what went wrong

[red flower]

not very in terms of making it work but it is good for randomization and not being able to manipulate the rng

[red flower]

G.FUNCS.skip_booster()

[junior tapir]

ehh, I tried like that, right after the open() with skip_booster(e) or end_consumeable(...), but to no avail. I achieved my desired functionality with dissolving the cards in the pack right after they emplace (it forces the player to manually skip, and I am ok with that)

[smoky holly]

that was way more helpful, thank you

[red flower]

this works for me

[junior tapir]

ooh, manager, ofc

[storm kraken]

made an accidental discovery

[gilded blaze]

ghost card

[stoic void]

yeah what

what card is that

[gilded blaze]

happens when there are 2 or more references to the same card

that face-down darkened card is supposed to be in deck, not drawn yet, and way below
or in discard pile

but the second reference forces the card to be in hand

thus it tells Lua to "draw" (both ways!) the card to hand, with its state still intact

[hasty kelp]

randomly my mod is crashing at line 8 and line 14 in my current code

    key = 'Jokers',
    path = 'Jokers.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95,

            }
        end
    end,
}

[stoic void]

it should be:

SMODS.Joker = {

[hasty kelp]

wtf because when i made it like 6 months ago it worked without it

nope still same errors

[stoic void]

and is the name of your image for jokers called Jokers.png

[stoic void]

oh...

[hasty kelp]

yes it is but i dont have it in my folder yet

[stoic void]

you need it in your mod

it is looking for Jokers.png

if that isnt in your mod

well... I dont think I need to explain

[hasty kelp]

it crashes after having the image in my folder

[stoic void]

Do you have it in a 1x and 2x folder

[wild patrol]

    local RanJoker = {"j_gros_michel", "j_egg", "j_ice_cream", "j_diet_cola"}
    local RanSelect = math.random(#RanJoker)
    local RanCreate = RanJoker[RanSelect]
    if is_on_cooldown then
        math.randomseed(os.time())
        if G.STAGE ~= G.STAGES.RUN or not G.GAME then return end
        local card = SMODS.add_card({key = RanCreate})
        card:add_to_deck()
    end
end```

[stoic void]

which both of those folders being in an assets folder

[wild patrol]

made a scuffed random joker selector

is there an easier way to do this

[hasty kelp]

ofc

[wild patrol]

or is just manually adding the jokers the best way lmao

[stoic void]

ah ok
hmmm

[hasty kelp]

i have this as my loading main file:
SMODS.load_file("src/jokers.lua")()
SMODS.load_file("src/pokerhands.lua")()

[wild patrol]

also is there like a list of every j_ name

so I don't have to dig through balatros lua to find them all

[red flower]

????

[stoic void]

Wait wha

[red flower]

you might as well do G = nil

[stoic void]

Mb

[hasty kelp]

its my formatting that is wrong

[red flower]

you were missing a comma

[hasty kelp]

where

[red flower]

there

[hasty kelp]

@red flower can you please send me a layout template

[red flower]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1456643778336129127

[hasty kelp]

when i add it is still give me the error

[red flower]

can i see your current code

[red flower]

there are a couple of problems: math.random doesnt respect seeds and add_card already does add_to_deck so you're doing it twice

local random_joker_key = pseudorandom_element({"j_gros_michel", "j_egg", "j_ice_cream", "j_diet_cola"}, "seed")
SMODS.add_card{key = random_joker_key}

you can also make a pool and use that as the set for add_card, there's an example in vremade wiki of how to make a pool with food jokers

[hasty kelp]

my current code is fixed

[wild patrol]

well the plan is to make any joker havea chance

if i'm making a pool does it really matter

[hasty kelp]

i just didnt copy it from where its located

[red flower]

i dont understand the question

[wild patrol]

working on a command that can pick any joker in the game to spawn

[hasty kelp]

i have a 2x png that is unsupported lmao

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card{set = "Joker"}?

[wild patrol]

didn't work crashed the game

seems making a table is the way to go lol

[red flower]

post the log, this is literally a basic command lol

[wild patrol]

[red flower]

Joker uppercase

[wild patrol]

works

now I gotta do the same for editions

have it sorta working

[red flower]

all of this is in the vanillaremade wiki btw

editions too

[wild patrol]

I got the editions working

I just need to figure out how to havea chance at it being a normal joker

[red flower]

jokers added thorugh that command already have a chance for editions btw

you dont need to add them

[wild patrol]

oh

[red flower]

this is why it's imporant to look at documentation before you try things lol

[wild patrol]

I'm a if it works it works guy

"As long as it works"

🧨

    if is_on_cooldown then
        math.randomseed(os.time())
        if G.STAGE ~= G.STAGES.RUN or not G.GAME then return end
        end
        local card = SMODS.add_card{set = 'Joker'}
        card:add_to_deck()
        card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
        play_sound('card1', 1)
    end```

[red flower]

well i dont agree with that philosophy

[red flower]

stop doing add_to_deck!!

[wild patrol]

SMODS.add_card{set = "Joker"} isn't really random sadly

it just creates the next card in seed

it's only random if u never play a seeded run

I guess it can work for now then whenever I get free time i'll figure something out

[hasty kelp]

it gives the joker you type after the =

so if you type baron it will give you baron

[wild patrol]

the point of the command is to be a random joker given to u

[hasty kelp]

idk how

i havent tried making that

[wild patrol]

well using the table i made from the original version is actually random

[hasty kelp]

then use it if you can convert it to smods

[red flower]

add a key_append

if you want it truly random then yeah you can use math.random

[wild patrol]

I mean this is ok for now

like I said i'll probably swap back to table method later

well it's still random

enough

it's just the randomness is seed just like the joker pool

but the jokers aren't the same in the shop so it's good

[red flower]

you can give it a key_append based on the time for more randomness

[hasty kelp]

i had made a reverse tooth blind as joker before i lost my mod progress i had made

[wild patrol]

but yeah it works

even supports the custom jokers

now question

[hasty kelp]

it had knave which basically was a baron for jacks, while i had made a baron but instead of 1.5x mult for kings it gave +1.5 mult

[wild patrol]

Destroy all jokers or destroy a random joker

[tidal hemlock]

fucking hell the edition does nothing wth

there, its fixed

[pastel kernel]

i don't remember if this is the way to do itlua if context.post_joker or (context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play) then return { hypermult = {self.config.hyper, self.config.mult} } end

for an edition

[red flower]

looks fine to me

[tidal hemlock]

why does none of my stuff work

[red flower]

you dont believe in it

[frosty rampart]

you have to believe in the heart of the cards

[viscid talon]

ok uh chat

i have no idea how to make this sticker a reality

    should_apply = function(self, card, center, area, bypass_roll)
        return G.GAME.modifiers.enable_burden_in_shop and card.config.center.burden_compat
    end,
}

local smods_is_eternal_ref = SMODS.is_eternal
function SMODS.is_eternal(card, trigger)
    return card.ability.vremade_eternal or smods_is_eternal_ref(card, trigger)
end

this is the code i got from the eternal stickers thing

and i edited some of it to have "burden"

but like

i dont know what i am doing

afaik thee stickers must be defined somewhere else

maybe i apply some sort of hook?

the role is this: every burdened joker takes up 2 joker slots instead of 1

[shell timber]

you should start by cutting the eternal ref

[frosty rampart]

you just need an apply function in the sticker to set extra_slots_used
here's the code I wrote for a sticker in starspace that does the exact same thing

when apply is called with val set to true, it's applying the sticker, and with val set to false, it's removing it

[viscid talon]

oke, ill give that a shot later

[viscid talon]

yeah im getting rid of that

[shell timber]

why is the c_base check there? is it for the collection or something else

[frosty rampart]

ya the outer if statement just skips the extra_slots_used stuff if it's being applied to a dummy card in the collection, because the tooltip that smods adds ends up being treated as the card's primary description instead of the sticker's tooltip

[shell timber]

oh thats weird

[frosty rampart]

I'd love to actually fix that but idk where to start in terms of the code for that

[shell timber]

ideally thered just be a way to suppress the tooltip

or at least some amount of it, so if a different source adds some itll still show

[frosty rampart]

true but in general I'd like to be able to have other tooltips
like if there was a sticker in entropy that did something with ascension power, I'd like the ascension power tutorial tooltip to pop up in the collection without also clobbering the sticker tooltip

[shell timber]

true

[frosty rampart]

oh also I just remembered
I was looking at morefluff code recently and I think colour cards could do with an smods.consumable:extend to define some common behavior. would make crossmod colour cards far less tedious

[shell timber]

oh yeah thatd probably be a decent idea

[frosty rampart]

I can probably write up a PR for that if you'd like

[shell timber]

thatd be lovely

[sturdy compass]

Last night I discovered Tags do not have sprite manipulation and it makes me sad 😭

[shell timber]

like for animation?

[sturdy compass]

No, like for changing sprites on the fly

[final jewel]

why does my cards dont show ?

[sturdy compass]

For whatever reason Tags make their sprites and add functions to them on the fly instead of drawing thru update

[final jewel]

    local ovch = {}

[normal crest]

what does Giga.is_overcharge do

[frosty rampart]

this looks very similar to the code that paperback uses to give paperclips their own category and hide them from the stickers category, so yes I assume the issue is with that function's behavior

[viscid light]

I have two questions. Just got into modding today and need a teensy help already (big surprise, I know).

1. How do I import Steammodded into Visual Studio so I can see the functions?
2. How come the description text doesn't show "X10" and instead only shows "X"? (I mean for the bottom line of text, not the temp text)

[round lion]

there should be a lsp def folder in your smods folder

if there is, copy and paste it into your workspace

[round lion]

also, make the last x on that line another #

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#3-set-up-the-lua-lsp

[viscid light]

oh, whoops

[viscid light]

I.... don't understand

im not very technical when it comes to file formatting and such

[slim ferry]

oh wait youre in notepad++

yeah nvm then you cant get lsp i think

[viscid light]

im trying to go over to Visual Studio for this reason

i switched over to it, Im just not familiar with how VS works either

[slim ferry]

youll first want to open the folder of your mod in File > open folder

so you just see everything

[viscid light]

alright

and then open main.lua?

[slim ferry]

well you have your folder open so now you should see all the contents of the mod folder on the left

youll probably want to install the lua extension by sumneko from the extensions tab too

[viscid light]

alright, done and done

[slim ferry]

then you should hit F1 and search for Preferences: Open Workspace Settings (JSON)

and in the file it will create you should add the code snippet in the link i sent

[viscid light]

okey, done

-# is that actually it?

[slim ferry]

youll then just want to replace the two file paths with the actual steamodded and lovely dump file paths

so just open up file explorer, go to those folders and then copy the file path from the top into the settings file

if youre on windows youll have to replace all the slashes because it uses backslashes in file paths for some reason

[viscid light]

ah, I see

i got the paths and undid the slashes

[slim ferry]

if you did it right it should eventually show SMODS and balatro functions

[viscid light]

i think it does, yep

thanks for the help

[final jewel]

Its is checking if the card has an overcharge its like a new thing that can be add on a card

[frosty rampart]

could you post the code for the function

@keen atlas why does frost utils cause like half the lovely dump to stop dumping

actually i should probably test frost utils on its own before i pin the blame on it, i was using it in a big modpack for reasons

[keen atlas]

it loads the prepatched version for most of vanilla files so it doesn't get patched afterwards

except for when it's patching due to empty cache / modified modlist

the dump is there

[frosty rampart]

ahh ok
it's a bit inconvenient tbh, but i can just disable the mod for debugging and whatnot

[keen atlas]

👍

ill add a toggle

[dapper sun]

how would i adapt my legendary jokers in shop code to uhhh not do this

-- 1 in 20 chance for shop Jokers to be Legendary
local gcp_hook = get_current_pool
function get_current_pool(_type, _rarity, _legendary, _append)
    if #SMODS.find_card("v_elle_breakthrough")>0 and _type == 'Joker' and _append == 'sho' and pseudorandom('ellerar'..G.GAME.round_resets.ante.._append, 1, 20)==1 then _legendary = true end
    return gcp_hook(_type, _rarity, _legendary, _append)
end```

[normal crest]

what does the code look like tho?

it could be the issue since the ui seems to be working

[junior tapir]

When hovering over a deck like Magic or Zodiac, certain UI boxes appear referring to the vouchers/tarots. Does anyone know how to achieve such boxes in a custom deck?

[slim ferry]

{T:key} in the formatting

the key can be any key in G.P_CENTERS or G.P_TAGS

[junior tapir]

thanks

[craggy ledge]

this is gonna sound really really really stupid so bare with me here, if i'm on jokerforge, how would i make a joker that resets its mult at end of round? i know i'm missing something obvious.

i'm a novice doing this for the first time

[slim ferry]

you should probably ask the joker forge thread or discord for this

[wild berry]

i wonder who that is

[slim ferry]

Locked i think

it says it there

[wild berry]

it looks familiar but i guess youre right

probably just a coincidence

[slim ferry]

im pretty sure familiar is a spectral card

[spiral mural]

why does this crash

                    local edition = G.P_CENTERS["e_MDJ_corrupted"]

                    aura_card:set_edition(edition, true)

[slim ferry]

its supposed to be a string

smh

[spiral mural]

[dapper sun]

yea

not the G.P_CENTERS

[final jewel]

---@param key string

    end
end
```thats the code my bad for the delay I got an important call

[normal crest]

in the is_overcharge function you're comparing the key to a number

since ipairs only goes over consecutive indices starting from 1

[final jewel]

oooh

let me try

but I get this crash now

[normal crest]

that looks like you have a non existent function name in a ui element

but i'm not sure

[final jewel]

oh Idk what I have done but just a CTRL + Z and now it work

but is it possible to add a sticker to a card with like a command or something

[normal crest]

I mean you have it on your code, SMODS.Stickers[key]:apply(card, true)

with debugplus console

[frosty rampart]

and in debugplus, dp.hovered is the card object for whatever card you're currently hovering over

[normal crest]

you can also just use your own function, eval Giga.set_overcharge(dp.hovered, key)

[final jewel]

ok it work fine now but I want to make the sprite change dynamicly

[red flower]

card.children.center:set_sprite_pos{ x = 1, y = 0 }

[red flower]

ui is hard to explain, did you look at the smods wiki guide?

[final jewel]

in the sticker itself ?

[light heron]

That just made me even more confused

[red flower]

yes

[red flower]

well it is hard

intermediate i would say at least

[light heron]

yea I’m cooked

[lethal belfry]

I wanna make the top card always be a steel card if there's one in the deck but I'm very confused on what to do because i ain't the smartest at code

[red flower]

G.deck.cards is a list of cards in the deck where the card at index 1 is the one at the bottom of the deck
what you want to do is sort the list so that the steel cards are closer to G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards]

[lethal belfry]

so like...
G.deck.cards[1] = SMODS.has_enhancement(playing_card, 'm_steel')

[final jewel]

I dont think its working

[lethal belfry]

i wouldn't know how to format a card like that cause nothing in vanilla works like that

[red flower]

ah wait you want to change the sticker, right? i read it wrong lol

[final jewel]

no no just the sprite

of the sticker

[red flower]

yeah that's what i mean

you want to do that but with the stickers sprite object

let me look up where it is

[final jewel]

like its supposed to be different during boss blind

[red flower]

G.shared_stickers["modprefix_key"]:set_sprite_pos{...} i think

[red flower]

no, first of all what I meant is that [1] is the bottom of the deck so that would be the last card
SMODS.has_enhancement returns a boolean not a card so the statement doesn't make sense, you want to swap cards in G.deck.cards

I would maybe recommend doing easier stuff until you get a bigger grasp on coding

[lethal belfry]

right ok

[umbral zodiac]

is there a way to get a cards description as a table from localize

if not how else would be best to do so

[unkempt bronze]

Does anyone know any jokers that shrink cards?

[frosty rampart]

wdym by shrink cards
like physically shrink the visual size of the card?

[unkempt bronze]

yea

to wee joker height specifically, but to any size broadly

[unkempt bronze]

you know any?

[frosty rampart]

for wee size, set card.T.w = card.T.w * 0.7 and card.T.h = card.T.h * 0.7 on the card you want to shrink
this won't save if you back out to the main menu tho, and i'm not sure if there's any better way to do it

[unkempt bronze]

Is it permanent for the run or for as long as it's onscreen?

[frosty rampart]

i tested and it does persist across the rest of the run, just not if you quit out and load the save back up

[unkempt bronze]

good with me

now to make it only hit the held jokers...

should be easy

[frosty rampart]

you can probably set a variable to true in the card's ability table, and then hook the load function to re-apply the size scaling if the card has that variable set

[unkempt bronze]

eh, so long as it shrinks the height of jokers, it's good with me

             card.T.w = card.T.w * 0.7
         end)```
Implemented, should it look like this?

[frosty rampart]

don't forget card.T.h = card.T.h * 0.7

also do you want it on the jokers or the cards held in hand? because G.hand.cards is the cards held in hand

[unkempt bronze]

I'll replace it with G.jokers.card in the code

Okay, it works

Next challenge

                      (find jokers of rarity_statarity - 1, and randomly get two)```
how do I get two jokers of the next rarity down from a random joker?

(ping if you have an answer)

[frosty rampart]

assuming the rarity is a vanilla rarity, you can just call SMODS.add_card { set = "Joker", rarity = x } where x is the number of the rarity (common = 1, uncommon = 2, rare = 3) and it'll automatically create a random joker of that rarity for you
if the rarity is a modded rarity, you'll have to manually define what "the next rarity down" means, but once you know that you can pass that into SMODS.add_card just the same (rarity can also be a string, for modded rarities)

@unkempt bronze

[unkempt bronze]

thank you!

hm

this line has an issue with = not being near a then

if context.yes_is_no = true then

[frosty rampart]

it should be == true, but really it should just be if context.yes_is_no then

you don't need to have == true for any if checks

unless you're trying to make sure that it's specifically a boolean and not some other thing that just counts as true, which is a rather niche case

[spiral mural]

how do it tell what object type a card is/if its a voucher

[white hull]

local is_voucher = card.ability.set == "Voucher"

vanilla remade wiki is helpful for questions like this

[red flower]

i wonder who wrote it

[normal crest]

it was you N

how do you not know

did you forget

[red flower]

where am i

[lethal belfry]

i'm trying to get my joker to retrigger held steel cards, but i have no earthly idea why it isn't retriggering

[frosty rampart]

not context.cardarea == G.hand

steel cards only trigger in G.hand

[lethal belfry]

oh it's the not

it still doesn't retrigger anything

[daring fern]

Remove the and context.end_of_round

And you should use SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_steel') instead of SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card)["m_steel"] == true

[lethal belfry]

ah thanks

[red flower]

you already got an answer but just as a tip: not a == b is almost always incorrect since that evaluates not a first so it will mostly result in false == b
you want a ~= b or not (a == b)

[lethal belfry]

yeah that tracks

i'm trying to learn this code by making the joker in jokerforge and then editing the code myself which is why a lot of this is really sloppy

[frosty rampart]

honestly a pretty bad idea
jokerforge generated code is usually not a good reference, because there's usually a lot of extra syntax junk to account for every possible option (and also a lot of it is just bad even for generated code). might be worse than writing the code from scratch, because otherwise you'll constantly have to be unlearning bad habits

[lethal belfry]

i guess, but i'm definitely trying to learn more from the vanilla reforged than i am from jokerforge

[frosty rampart]

vanillaremade is right there for you
great reference of well-written code reimplementing basically all the vanilla content, including non-jokers

[lethal belfry]

whoops i meant vanillaremade

i am looking at that yes

looking at reforged would be completely redundant lol

[pastel kernel]

i'm tripping , why won't sound and colour register```lua
return {
hypermult = {self.config.hyper, self.config.mult},
sound = "busterb_Thunder1",
colour = SMODS.Gradients["busterb_Thomasgradient"]
}

[lethal belfry]

alright, this is supposed to unlock a joker if the joker itself gets destroyed it's definitely not working

[glass scaffold]

Is it that the Joker is being called incorrectly? Maybe you need j_MODPREFIX__JOKERKEY (Remove 2nd underscore between prefix and key.)

Also, maybe remove the G.P_CENTERS from that?

[lethal belfry]

yeah still doesn't work... this entire thing of code needs to be redone i think but i am absolutely not sure how

[frosty rampart]

i don't think they work unless you set a custom message, standard calculation effects like hypermult automatically provide all the message data (including sound and color)

[lethal belfry]

also yeah crucify me it's jokerforge but this is a joker i made before you said that and i'm trying to code jokers from scratch now

by taping together a bunch of vanillaremade code

it is not working in the slightest

god i hate modding

[frosty rampart]

context.remove_playing_cards only runs when a playing card is destroyed
to check in a joker's own code for if the joker itself being destroyed, check if context.joker_type_destroyed and context.card == card then

[faint yacht]

You'll need to also specify hypermult_message iirc.

[lethal belfry]

like this?

[glass scaffold]

I've tried context.after and context.final_scoring_step, but it still keeps on adding the 10% before ANY scoring is done. Why is this being difficult with me?

[pastel kernel]

hypermult_message = "text string"?

[frosty rampart]

no need to put anything in a return statement, literally just

if context.joker_type_destroyed and context.card == card then
  unlock_card("j_stinky_crucible")
end

(to be clear, the intended effect is "if this joker is destroyed, unlock the Crucible joker"?)

[glass scaffold]

-# It also occurred to me I am doing the math wrong here.

[lethal belfry]

it didn't work...

[faint yacht]

echip_message = {message = localize{ type = "variable", key = "toga_Echip", vars = { card.ability.extra.heldechip } }, colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION, sound = "talisman_echip"}

Snippet from my Michael Rosen return.

[lethal belfry]

and yes, the name of the card is spelled right

[frosty rampart]

hrm, stumped then

unlock conditions aren't my strong suit

[lethal belfry]

i'm seeing usually that unlock conditions are in the jokers themselves and not really in other jokers

maybe that's the problem

but then the code would be entirely different and i am tired

wait is it supposed to be outside of the calculate

[pastel kernel]

do i need to make a localize?

i don't use any localization files

[faint yacht]

You can just give it a raw string.

[glass scaffold]

Ok, now it's just straight up not adding anything.

[frosty rampart]

G.GAME.chips doesn't actually update its value until after context.after

[pastel kernel]

return {
                hypermult = {self.config.hyper, self.config.mult},
                hypermult_message = {message = "^^^^ "..self.config.mult, colour = SMODS.Gradients["busterb_Thomasgradient"], sound = "busterb_Thunder1"}
            }

[frosty rampart]

you'll need to do G.GAME.chips = G.GAME.chips + ((G.GAME.chips + SMODS.calculate_round_score()) / card.ability.extra.score) i think?

[final jewel]

is there a G that hold every card discarded, I tried G.discard and G.discard.cards and it doesnt seems to work

[lethal belfry]

nevermind i don't think ifs can be put outside of calculates

[frosty rampart]

G.discard.cards should be every card that's been discarded and played by the player in previous hands this round

[final jewel]

so why thats not working

[pastel kernel]

is it like this?

[faint yacht]

Should work, although I am not familiar with hypermult specific strings.

[pastel kernel]

where'd you get the strings?

[frosty rampart]

when is this code being run

[final jewel]

in the loc_vars

oh shoot should make an if statement so only during run

mb

[faint yacht]

elseif eval_type == 'hyper_mult' then 
        sound = 'talisman_eeemult'
        text = (amt[1] > 5 and ('{' .. tostring(amt[1]) .. '}') or string.rep('^', amt[1])) .. tostring(amt[2]) .. ' ' .. localize('k_mult')
        amt = amt[2]
        colour = G.C.MULT
        config.type = 'fade'
        config.scale = 0.7

[pastel kernel]

so it's eeemult_message?

[faint yacht]

The sound is.

[pastel kernel]

ok so it just randomly works now

removed hypermult_message

[round lion]

why can vanilla cards move their multipliers straight into the config table without worry, but modded ones have to use extra as a table

[white hull]

Theoretically the entire scoring loop is calculated when you press play, so this happens instantly. Maybe try putting it in an event?

[round lion]

can i just throw a entire table that belongs to a card into set ability and make a carbon copy?

[normal crest]

you can use the copy_card function for copying

[storm kraken]

Why
(only happens when adding and removing cards on the winning hand)

[daring fern]

You should be using SMODS.destroy_cards instead of Card:start_dissolve

[frosty rampart]

also, don't use create_playing_card, use SMODS.add_card
there's a lot of extra work you have to do that SMODS.add_card will handle for you
in fact it'll automate some of the stuff you're currently doing manually
SMODS.add_card { set = "Playing Card", suit = "Clubs", area = G.hand } is all you have to do to create a random Clubs card and put it in your hand

[storm kraken]

actual help yay!!!!

thank you guys!!!

[wintry solar]

You can put your own stuff directly in the config table, but it might get picked up by some of the automatic handling of stuff that vanilla uses, and there are some weird remnants with things not resetting or loading properly when you change/copy the card iirc. The entire extra table was always given the correct behaviour, AND allows you to control exactly how you want the card to calculate, so that’s always been the recommended place to store your values

[torpid flicker]

made this to make it easier to make new boosterpacks in a semi vanilla style. its intresting to see how the location of the text differs between versions as these are made from the vanilla bufoon packs.

[daring fern]

Hook generate_card_ui

[limber aspen]

Thanks

[slim ferry]

Blame joker forge devs for fucking up textures again

[white hull]

why is that? is it fine to use start_dissolve for a joker to self-destruct?

cuz vanilla remade mr. bones uses it

[red flower]

oh i should change that

[white hull]

:0

i have been bamboozled

[red flower]

i mean start_dissolve works too

it's just that it's recommended to use destroy_cards

because it handles more logic

anyway for the case somethingcom was saying it's important to use destroy cards to destroy playing cards during scoring

Yo guys, i'm trying to make a "Joker Fluid" card like, what's wrong?

At first i tought about making every face card the same ID, but that would prevent the cards from activating upon jokers that work with specific faces, so i changed it to only when played hand

[daring fern]

You mean you want every face card to be counted as every face rank but only for poker hands?

[tidal hemlock]

why does only orange deck break and nothing else

ok it might have to do with the card trying to reference a variable when it physically cannot

ok that's what was happening lol

[junior tapir]

wait, does {T:key} work only for decks and not jokers' formatting?

[slim ferry]

it doesnt work for jokers, T:key is for tooltips on hover which you can only do with decks

for tooltips with jokers (and other objects) see how info_queue is used in vanillaremade

[junior tapir]

well some jokers too achieve tooltips, like diet cola, I thought surely they work the same

[red flower]

they use info_queue

because they're not on hovering the word like decks

[junior tapir]

@red flower has anyone told you you are the goat

[wintry solar]

Maybe I should put galdurs infoqueue adaptation for those into smods

[tepid egret]

hey guys, i just ran into an issue in my mod that hasn't been there in the past.
My mod uses function SMODS.debuff_card(card, debuff, source) in src/utils.lua line 417 to debuff jokers, which works fine while in a blind, but I also want to have some jokers debuffed in the main menu (in the collection or when the card burns). If you call it however, it will eventually run into G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(card) which crashes because blind is nil in the main menu.
is there a workaround for this? I mean i could just call card:set_debuff(true) but then it could fuck with the blind specific logic.

main reason im reporting this is because i dont think debuffing a card while not being in a game is that unreasonable, so it could be good to have a nil check or whatever in steamodded

[daring fern]

if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then SMODS.debuff_card(card, true, 'source') else card:set_debuff(true) end

[tepid egret]

Ok i guess ill use the workaround then, thx for replying

[lucid trench]

Yeah, so that you could do pairs even with K-Q or K-J, vice-versa for the other combos

[dapper sun]

how would i change the order that the cardareas are scored?

[daring fern]

Hook SMODS.get_card_areas

[dapper sun]

ty

[tidal hemlock]

i am having so many problems

[glossy stone]

time to come back to moddin gafter like a ear of inactivity

wooooooooooooo babyyyyyyyy

[granite raptor]

can the message_card value of a calculate function's return table be an array of multiple cards to display the message on each one in the array?

[wild patrol]

what is the debuff ability under

is it considered a edition?

[harsh belfry]

its under nothing

its just a card property

card.debuff

[wild patrol]

ok thanks

[red flower]

no

you have to use extra to return multiple messages or use SMODS.calculate_effect

[wild patrol]

SMODS.Edition {
    key = 'bootleg',
    shader = 'holo',
    prefix_config = {
        -- This allows using the vanilla shader
        -- Not needed when using your own
        shader = false
    },
    config = {
        extra = {
            odds = 4
        }
    },
    in_shop = true,
    apply_to_float = false,
    sound = { sound = "ttv_fart_sound1", per = 1.2, vol = 0.4 },
    disable_shadow = false,
    disable_base_shader = false,
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Bootleg',
        label = 'Bootleg',
        text = {
            [1] = '{C:green}1 in 2{} chance to fail'
        }
    },
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    no_collection = false,
    get_weight = function(self)
        return G.GAME.edition_rate * self.weight
    end,
    

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)        
        local new_numerator, new_denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'e_ttv_bootleg') 
        return {vars = {new_numerator, new_denominator}}
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand then
            return card.debuff
        end
    end
}```

trying to give the bootleg edition the chance to debuff

doesn't seem to crash so I can't really figure out where to look at

[granite raptor]

for SMODS.calculate_effect is the table passed as the effect argument set up the same as a calculate's return table then, or is that table something different entirely?

[daring fern]

Yes, it is, but you should always use a return if possible.

[red flower]

it's the same, yes but instead of using message_card is better to pass the card as the second argument calculate_effect({message = "text"}, card)

[red flower]

what's the exact effect? returning card.debuff won't do anthing, calculate has a specific set of returns for each contexty you can't just return whatever
also for editions you want to use context.main_scoring

[wild patrol]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring

so this right here

[harsh belfry]

they're trying to set debuff based on a probability

card.debuff is the actual debuff property

but obviously returning it doesn't do anything

[red flower]

if i ask someone something to help them i want them to answer thanks

[harsh belfry]

they did

read the message

lmfao

i did not add new information

[red flower]

they did what? I asked for the exact effect. What does chance to debuff mean? When? Why do they want to debuff?

[harsh belfry]

its called bootleg figure it out ig

[red flower]

ok then i wont help

[wild patrol]

i just asked a question I didn't expect mom and dad to argue over dinner

[red flower]

i already had them ignored anyway idk why i clicked on show

[wild patrol]

no trying to be mean but that is just pointless arguing

i'm gonna try giving the context change an try

see if that works

[harsh belfry]

getting ragebaited by nothing

[wild patrol]

local new_numerator, new_denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'e_ttv_bootleg')

curious if it's related to this

with e_ttv_booleg being defined

since it's not a card but a edition being called lol

[red flower]

what do you mean

[harsh belfry]

    key = 'bootleg',

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)        
        local new_numerator, new_denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'e_ttv_bootleg') 
        return {vars = {new_numerator, new_denominator}}
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(self, 'e_ttv_bootleg', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
                card:set_debuff(true)
            else
                card:set_debuff(false)
            end
        end
    end
}

[red flower]

the problem with the code you showed is that it doesn't make sense

[harsh belfry]

this is almost there

but i'm fairly sure that it needs a different context

since i THINK editions run after

would have to double check

[wild patrol]

i'll slap it in see what it does

[frosty rampart]

i don't have much context but main_scoring only works with playing cards, and is correct for editions on playing cards
if bootleg is intended to appear on jokers, you'll also need the same behavior in context.pre_joker

[harsh belfry]

also self should be card

[wild patrol]

u forgor a then

after main_scoring lol

[harsh belfry]

balatrue

most my lua knowledge comes from like 2009 gmod

so very rusty on this shit
