[daring fern]

What is the full code?

[gaunt folio]

it almost works the way i intend, except that it multiplies wrong as it probably repeats the function

[tidal hemlock]

adn this is what happens when you combine freakshow, cryptid, and paperback

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[gaunt folio]

to multiply the values of every joker in hand thats in a specific pool by 1.1X

[daring fern]

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[gaunt folio]

omfg it was that simple of a fix thanks man

[smoky bramble]

does context refer to the state the game is in?

[gaunt folio]

think so

[smoky bramble]

hm alright

[red flower]

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

i need to change that now that the smods docs are better

[naive agate]

is there a way to have showman’s function affect a specific pool?

[red flower]

SMODS.showman? it gets the key for the object to be created so you can check its pool

[naive agate]

I mean like do something like showman but for a specific pool, if that’s not what you already mean

[red flower]

yes

[inner terrace]

Alright I've been messing with this for about two hours now, and it feels like it should be working - I'm trying to reskin a base game joker, and have it animate
I'm declaring an SMODS.Atlas, declaring it as an atlas_table = 'ANIMATION_ATLAS', and using take_ownership with the atlas key, but it's just... not doing anything

[red flower]

have you tried using malverk

im guessing it accepts animated atlases now

[inner terrace]

I debated it, but since the newest beta for SMODS allows animation atlases to be declared so easily, it seems like it shouldn't be that nasty of a process anymore to animate it without?

[red flower]

no im not saying the animation is the problem

im saying taking ownership to replace the atlas is the problem

malverk solves that part

[inner terrace]

Oh
It's been working fine for the other jokers so far, the ones that aren't animated, I've got ~15 being overwritten

[red flower]

and im saying that idk if malverk accepts animations yet but probably it does

[red flower]

the pr that added animated atlas support might not have taken take ownership into consideration maybe

[inner terrace]

Balls, that's true
alright time to delve into the other possible option for getting this to work, in the style of the Aura mod (the other possible way without Malverk, that is. I'm... really not sure why I'm so adamant about this)

CORRECTION: IT'S WORKING

[naive agate]

how can I make it ignore duplicates of cards in a specific pool

[red flower]

(G.P_CENTERS[card_key].pools or {}).pool_key

[naive agate]

like this?

[round lion]

nostalgic pillar

[reef belfry]

ok apparently G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker still contains locked jokers, how would I go about checking which of them in that pool are unlocked or not, if I have to loop for it what would i need to check

[wanton jolt]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker and check if u can have "unlocked = true" or something

[round lion]

you MIGHT have to use the current pool

[reef belfry]

would looping through them like v.config.center.unlocked == true work

[wanton jolt]

uhhhhhh give it a spin idk

[daring fern]

No, it would be if v.unlocked

[reef belfry]

oooh ok

[wanton jolt]

oh right because its a key in the joker itself, not the config

[reef belfry]

errr

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'reunlockall',
    atlas = 'crs_jokers',
    rarity = 4, 
    cost = 20, 
    unlocked = true, 
    discovered = true, 
    blueprint_compat = true, 
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    config = {extra = {div = 50, retrig = 1}},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.div, card.ability.extra.retrig} }
    end,
    update = function(self, card, dt)
        if G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker then
            local count = 0
            for i, v in ipairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker) do
                if v.unlocked == true then
                    count = count + 1
                end
            end
            card.ability.extra.retrig = (math.floor(count/card.ability.extra.div))
        end
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
            return {
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.retrig
            }
        end
    end,
    crs_credits = {
        mod = "Re:Unlock All"
    }
}

[subtle hawk]

So like

[wanton jolt]

wtf lol

[subtle hawk]

How many of them is actually unlocked??

[reef belfry]

i dont know why its not 1 nor 11 but 10

55

[subtle hawk]

Isn't taht discovered?

[reef belfry]

OH

FUCK

[subtle hawk]

Lol

[reef belfry]

i forgot those are 2 different things

ok awesome it works as intended now

[open aspen]

how do i reference the balatro code for patches again 😅

[daring fern]

Look in Mods/lovely/dump

[lament agate]

is there a way to make every boss blind a specific one when a joker is held

[daring fern]

Yes, hook get_new_boss

[wanton jolt]

luasteam doesnt work as intended 😭

[uncut cloud]

hi chat, quick question
is there a way to do something like this but for the soul sprite?

oh

thanks a lot

[wanton jolt]

use card.children.floating_sprite

[uncut cloud]

oh

will try that then

thx !!

[wanton jolt]

not my code, my entire code is just for regular legendary stuff

center is the card sprite itself afaik

[uncut cloud]

im decently sure it is

didnt know about floating_sprite though

i dont usually work with legendaries

well that seemed to work

thanks a lot !!

[wanton jolt]

[hard needle]

[verbal vigil]

Does anyone know if its possible to reference the in game joker atlas for a back? I've tried setting the atlas to 'Joker', 'Jokers', "Joker", "Jokers", "joker", "jokers", 'joker', and 'jokers" but the game crashed attempting to index field 'atlas' [a nil value]

[daring fern]

atlas = 'Joker',
prefix_config = {atlas = false},

[verbal vigil]

Thank you!

[shrewd pulsar]

question
when changing the score requirement of the blind by G.GAME.blind.chips, how does it return to its original score post-hand and how do i prevent this

[red flower]

basically any modifications you do get overwritten by the hand scoring after calculation

i think you can use events to get around it

[shrewd pulsar]

how

[red flower]

you can also wait for/copy this
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/1167

[red flower]

idk that's why i said i think

i would need to test it

[shrewd pulsar]

alrighty

thanks

[slim ferry]

isnt G.GAME.blind.chips the blind requirement

not the current score

[red flower]

ah i misread

then idk why it is resetting lol

[red flower]

it might be the text thing
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-change-the-blinds-requirement-in-the-middle-of-a-blind

[vale zinc]

This code does not as the tooltip describes. What must I do?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.remove_playing_cards and context.other_card == card and ((#G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer) < G.consumeables.config.card_limit) then
        G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'before',
            delay = 0.0,
            func = function()
                SMODS.add_card({ set = 'Spectral' })
                G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
                return true
            end
        }))
        return {
            message = localize('k_plus_spectral'),
            colour = G.C.SPECTRAL
        }
    end
end

[daring fern]

context.remove_playing_cards doesn't have context.other_card, you would have to check if card is in context.removed

[vale zinc]

That worked perfectly!

[long sun]

what's the context for a Joker being added?

(i don't mean context.buying_card)

[red flower]

card_added

[long sun]

rad, thanks!

is context.card:add_sticker("perishable", true) valid, or does Perishable use a different key?

[red flower]

should be

[long sun]

schweet

[long sun]

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = SMODS.Stickers["perishable"]
why is this line crashing the game?

crashes at if not G.localization.descriptions[set][_c.key] then set = "Other" end in common_events

[slim ferry]

you cant do sticker tooltips like that

[long sun]

darn

it worked in Cold Beans with a modded sticker ^^; they must've patched that in

[slim ferry]

it has to be info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = "perishable", set = "Other", vars = { G.GAME.perishable_rounds, G.GAME.perishable_rounds } }

[long sun]

ah, i see

[slim ferry]

idk about the vars since i think vanilla hardcodes a 5 for the total amount of rounds in the desc

[feral flax]

What-

[red flower]

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

[lethal stratus]

well yeah ive been sent this about 6 times but i dont work well on this website

[red flower]

i think it would have been better to start there then
what's the part you dont understand?

[wild patrol]

is there an explanation on how the soul card is rendered with the small animation sprite overlayed on it

wanna learn how to do that

[sturdy compass]

setting a soul_pos attribute on an object will set that floating sprite

If you want custom animations for the floating sprite you will need a draw function

[wild patrol]

looking at the soul sprites is technically considered an enhancer

[red flower]

vanillaremade The Soul has code to see this

[wild patrol]

being in the same sprite sheet

[mystic river]

annoying caveat: the soul sprite needs to be on the same atlas as the base card
vanilla soul doesn't do this but it uses thunk's spaghetti code instead

[wild patrol]

if u saw the mess i've made for this mod

it fits right in

just place holders for now

but the idea is it gives u super strong legendary twitch chat related jokers for doing stuff

one of the ideas is banning a user in chat for a 100x mult

[round lion]

rename the placeholder :Kappa: for now

[wild patrol]

I wonder if it's possible to use emotes as text

[grizzled tide]

hi! I need help having a joker remember a specific playing card in hand after reloading, does anyone have an idea of how to go about that

[viscid talon]

trying to make a joker that adds x0.5 mult per polychrome card in deck

        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_polychrome

        local poly_tally = 0
        if G.playing_cards then
            for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
                if SMODS.has_edition(playing_card, 'e_polychrome') then poly_tally = poly_tally + 1 end
            end
        end
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult, card.ability.extra.xmult * poly_tally, card.ability.extra.divine } }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            local poly_tally = 0
            for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
                if SMODS.has_edition(playing_card, 'e_polychrome') then poly_tally = poly_tally + 1 end
            end
            return {
                Xmult = 1 + card.ability.extra.xmult * poly_tally,
            }
        end
        in_pool = function(self, args)
        for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards or {}) do
            if SMODS.has_edition(playing_card, 'e_polychrome') then
                return true
            end
        end
        return false
    end```

it comes up with a weird "not defined" error

is SMODS.has_edition a thing?

[slim ferry]

it is not

it would be card.edition and card.edition.key == "e_polychrome" for the check

[viscid talon]

thankes

[wild patrol]

well the basics are there

just need to make it were the twitch soul doesn't appear so often

but with the lower joker pool already still has a high chance

is there away to fix the jimbo jokers that appear when the pool gets lower than what's available without having to stuff it with vanilla jokers

[grizzled tide]

guys, im trying to figure out which card in a played hand was force selected but i cant figure it out 😭

[frosty rampart]

if you created whatever is force selecting the card, you can just also have it set card.ability.something = true and then check for if card.ability.something is true when you need to see which one was force selected

[grizzled tide]

o

makes sense, thank you

does that save when reloading though? or should i run save_run()

[frosty rampart]

game autosaves every 10 seconds and whenever you do most things like adding a modification to a card (although if it's a type of modification you implemented yourself, you might need to still manually add it)

[grizzled tide]

kk

is that modification permanent or only for the hand? because id probably have to remember to remove it if its the former

[frosty rampart]

yea you have to remove it afterwards

[grizzled tide]

kk

[long sun]

i was today years old when i realised that all localisation texts ending with _ex end with exclamation marks too

k_upgrade_ex is short for k_upgrade_exclamation_mark

still not sure what the k means though :3

[grizzled tide]

is there a context for a played hand after all cards are scored btw? or would i just manually loop with joker_main

[grizzled tide]

koolio obviousl-

[slim ferry]

context.after?

[grizzled tide]

thanks :)

[wild patrol]

I guess soul_rate doesn't work if a consumable is in with joker cards

[shrewd pulsar]

ok so this is my situation
-# red = reality, blue = expected
-# x = time, y = blind score requirement
-# im deducting the blind score but it comes back

[shell timber]

send the code that does it

[wild patrol]

I tried assigning a weight didn't work either

I guess I should just keep it a spectral

[shrewd pulsar]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main then
            return {
                func = function()
                    if G.GAME.blind.in_blind then
                        local amount = pseudorandom('RANGE:50|100', 50, 100)

                        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                            trigger = 'after',
                            delay = 0,
                            func = function()
                                card_eval_status_text(
                                    context.blueprint_card or card,
                                    'extra',
                                    nil, nil, nil,
                                    { message = "-"..tostring(amount).." Blind Size", colour = G.C.GREEN }
                                )

                                G.GAME.blind.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips - amount
                                return true
                            end
                        }))

                        return true
                    end
                end
            }
        end
    end

wait hang on maybe because i also have blindside installed

lol

[wild patrol]

soul_rate

doesn't work

soul_rate = 0.003, determines how likely this legendary is to replace each card in a pack

It appears at same odds as everything else

[frosty rampart]

soul_rate only works if hidden is true

[wild patrol]

damn maybe if I could read it would have saw it says that a few sentences up on the wiki

thx man

That should do it

[lament agate]

can i not change settings value inside of calculate func

it doesnt work

[wild patrol]

soul rate works now

Just shame doesn't work on jokers

wanted it to be in the booster with all twitch related stuff

[slim ferry]

cant you do soul_set = "Joker"

i thought that worked

[wild patrol]

not sure i can get it a shot

I just realized I put it in the wrong booster set

been testing for 15mins in the wrong boosters

[wild patrol]

either i'm just incredibly unlucky with 60 pulls in a row

or it's not working

[slim ferry]

The chance is only 0.3% per card

Just try setting the chance higher for testing

[wild patrol]

yeah about to

[wild patrol]

yeah that looks like its it

changed to 1

now one spawns every pack

[slim ferry]

Aweeome

[wild patrol]

I guess now just finding the sweat spot

for spawn rate

    key = "ttv_ttv_twitch_jokers",
    cards = {
        ["j_ttv_f"] = true,
        ["j_ttv_copycat"] = true,
        ["j_ttv_donation"] = true,
        ["c_ttv_kappsoul"] = true
    },
})```

also

should I have it in the pool

or is it not necessary

with the soul_set

[slim ferry]

With soul_set it isnt needed

[next timber]

incredibly basic question but how do you make tarot-like cards be the right size again

i forgor

[median rose]

I'm planning on making mod that requires states. Where a state is just information of what the user currently has. Like the number of hands, what jokers, how much money, etc. I also want one of the states to be a "sub state". Where it tells me where the user is in the game. Such as: selecting a blind, in the shop, playing a round etc. I wanted to know if anyone had a full lists of these "sub states" since I know certain jokers, like Perkeo, or Golden Joker trigger during specific states

[teal grotto]

bruh

thats literally

like a whole thing

contexts and game values

[frosty rampart]

also G.STATE tracks something like that too

[median rose]

alright man, don't gotta be like that. I was just asking a question

[teal grotto]

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

long thing to ctrl-f in

[red flower]

To expand on the other two replies some things in the game are saved in G.STATE (in the shop, in a booster, selecting a hand, using a tarot) basically when there's some state machine kind of thing that the entire game needs to know it's under. Some others are given as a context to the calculate_joker function (or other calculate functions in smods), these are signals for actions such as skipping a booster, rerolling the shop, ending a blind, scoring steps, etc.

ah i didnt see that part i was just looking here https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/The-Mod-Object#mod-config

[daring fern]

You're not inputting self into the old function.

[open aspen]

ohhhh

that makes a lot of sense yea

i saved it as . and nort :

[open aspen]

this shouldnt matter for prep_draw hook at the bottom right?

that never takes self

[daring fern]

No, it should still be . you just need to input self as the first input into sprite_draw_shader

[open aspen]

yes

i mean that like

with . you need self

[daring fern]

Yes.

[open aspen]

ofc, if i saved a var as : it doesnt make sense

[open aspen]

tyy

new issue

notice i print hi..tagvar at the top

my console is showin tagvar as nil

in my sticker i have this code

(notice how i add true, true at the end there)

so it should make my two extra variables in my hook true

but i seem to be mistaken

[lament agate]

@rocky plaza

[rocky plaza]

Do you have a global table for your mod?

[lament agate]

i do yes

[rocky plaza]

Do you have the game update function hooked at some point in your mod?

[lament agate]

yes

[wanton jolt]

holy fucking shit

[rocky plaza]

In your game update hook add

if G.STEAM and not Tangents.user_steam_id then
  Tangents.user_steam_id = G.STEAM.user.getSteamID()
end

where Tangents can be replaced by the actual name of your global mod table

then to check, run
eval Tangents.user_steam_id
in debug+

[lament agate]

sure

[rocky plaza]

anyways i gotta go

[lament agate]

see ya thunder

[open aspen]

gonna bump this since it got pushed up

but i think i have some misunderstanding of how to utilize hooks

TLDR: i made a hook and am calling the function in my code with additional custom arguments but it seems to be nil every time

[red flower]

what is this trying to do

[open aspen]

ok

[red flower]

ok

[open aspen]

so i have a sticker sprite i made that is double the normal size of a sticker sprite

as a result it renders incorrectly

(i added a green border to visualize it better)

i made a bunch of hooks to try and make it so if the game draws my sticker it does it with an offset

[open aspen]

its scaled down to the size of a regular sticker btw

[red flower]

have you tried the values the function already has for scale and offset

im assuming so

[open aspen]

yea

tbh, im working with old code here

i solved this exact issue before but lost the changes and that was months ago and i picked up the project again

so im just like retracing my steps

based on images i sent here in the past

rn i think i have the exact or basically the same hooks and stuff i did earlier to fix it

but right now, it seems like this additional variable im adding is just always nil

[red flower]

have you tried instead of adding new arguments to pass them through a global

[open aspen]

no, i havent

is there a wiki page for how to use global?

[red flower]

no thats lua

let me write an example

[open aspen]

ty

that would be awesome

[red flower]

-- outside everything, because making random globals is not good practice
YourModTable = {}

draw = function(...)
  YourModTable.tagVar = value
  sprite:draw_sprite(...)
  YourModTable.tagVar = nil
end

then you would check YourModTable.tagVar in the hook

(G.P_CENTERS[card_key].pools or {}).EveryImasJoker

[open aspen]

ah smart

btw, defining yourModTable anywhere in my file lets me access it right?

[red flower]

as long as it loads before yes

most people name it their mod id

[open aspen]

oh it has to load before the hook

which

well yea that makes sense ofc lol

this is the main.lua file i have

[red flower]

most functions will run after it loads so its fine

[open aspen]

i think i can repurpose UTM

[red flower]

yeah thats what that should be for

[open aspen]

great

ill try that

this also actually works far far better

because right now im patching 2 other functions

to get the variable where it actually needs to make a chane

[red flower]

while not as clean its usually better than adding new arguments because it will conflict with other hooks and patches

[open aspen]

this is what the function looks like now (the function i want to change)

[open aspen]

ye, its not bad either

its not so spaghetti its hard to understand at least

close enough

lmfao

[naive agate]

it works, cheers

[final jewel]

idk if I did it well but I want my card to not being able to be debuff and after when the card is played it remove debuff from card that are debuff in the played hand and if its held its the same thing its removing debuff from held in hand card

[red flower]

is this a joker

[final jewel]

no an enhancement

[red flower]

hmm yeah thats hard
return remove_debuff doesnt exist

[final jewel]

I tried this some month ago but wasnt able to do it with the skill I was having a this time

[red flower]

you want all cards to be undebuffed when you play it?

[final jewel]

kinda

imagine you play the card with the enhancement, every card that you played with it get their debuff remove

[red flower]

and if its held in hand all cards in hand?

[final jewel]

yeah exactly

I can do some patch and hook if I need but idk where to do it

[red flower]

for those two effects I would do a check in the global mod calculate to see if you have any in play or hand and then in context.debuff_card you wopuld return { prevent_debuff = true } for all cards in that area

for the card itself i would probably use SMODS.debuff_card(card, 'prevent_debuff', "source string") on it when the ability changes, i think theres a context for it you can use in global mod calculate too

but you would need to remove it once its unenhanced

or rather, you can probably do the prevent_debuff in set_ability and remove it in mod calculate

[open aspen]

why does debug plus console not work 😭

nvm

[median rose]

I want to make a function that gets triggered after every event. Do I need to override each function in order to inject my function, or is there a more simple way to do this?

[final jewel]

im not sure how to do it, like idk what you meant in return prevent_debuff in context.debuff_card

[torpid flicker]

why isnt it toggeling my music

[red flower]

you know how to give mult in a joker you return mult = number in context.joker_main

[final jewel]

yeah obviously but like how is it going to target each card

[red flower]

have you used context.individual

[final jewel]

oh shit

im dum

didnt think about that

[red flower]

no i mean

debuff_card works like individual

you shouldnt use individual here

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

[final jewel]

like so

[unkempt bronze]

How do I count the chip total of a hand and have a joker add it back to a later hand?

[red flower]

it doesnt have cardarea sadly, you need to check context.debuff_card.area

also e_w_held will not be kept between contexts

[unkempt bronze]

(hello?)

[red flower]

that will also not work for e_w_held

because you set it to false at the top

[final jewel]

oh

wait

[red flower]

nope

[final jewel]

cause its not doing the thing at the start like it will remove only when a card is played

[red flower]

ah yeah good point

my solution wouldnt work then

[final jewel]

nono I want it to not remove the debuff at start

[red flower]

yes my solution wouldnt work then

[final jewel]

oh shit

this effect is like really hard to make

[red flower]

yeah debuffs are wacky

i would need to test code but zzzzzzzzz

[final jewel]

yeah

but do you have an idea that could make this enhancement strong

like its the upgraded version of the wild card

[unkempt bronze]

bump (ping if anwser)

[teal grotto]

so now its

local ante = G.GAME.round_resets.ante
local sign = 1
if ante % 2 == 0 then
    sign = -1
end
if (G.GAME.chips - G.GAME.blind.chips) * sign >= 0...

[frosty rampart]

chip total as in the final score that the played hand is worth?

i should have an answer for you no matter what but i do need clarification on that

[torpid flicker]

bump

[unkempt bronze]

First hand's final score added to last hand's chips

[frosty rampart]

in context.after, SMODS.calculate_round_score() should get you the final score of the current hand. (running it in an earlier context will get the score at the moment of that calculation, not accounting for jokers to the right/anything scored in later contexts). just save that as a value to the joker, and give it on the last hand
to make sure you only do it on the first hand, delete the value in the joker during the last hand (set it to nil), and then only save the value if it doesn't exist yet

[unkempt bronze]

so, if context.after then

Smods.calculate_round_score()

end

yes?

[frosty rampart]

not quite lol

like i said, you have to save it as a value in the joker's ability table

(i'm not gonna write all the code for you immediately, i'd like to encourage you to take a crack at it yourself first)

[unkempt bronze]

    key = "breadclip",
    atlas = "My_Way_and_The_Highway",
    rarity = 2,
    pos = { x = 3, y = 3 },
    cost = 6,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    config = { extra = { bag_of_chips = 0 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = card.ability.extra.chips }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 and context.after then
            return {
                card.ability.extra.bag_of_chips == SMODS.calculate_round_score()
            }
        end
        if G.GAME.current_round.hands_left == 0 and context.final_scoring_step then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.bag_of_chips
            }
    end
end
}```

This is probably off somewhere

[frosty rampart]

the first return in your calculate shouldn't be a return at all, just card.ability.extra.bag_of_chips = SMODS.calculate_round_score()
otherwise that should be good, yea

worth noting that if you're in a situation where the player only has one hand (e.g. needle), then it'll give the stored score from the previous round, but i'm not sure how to handle that cleanly

[unkempt bronze]

thank you

Anyway, now to code more cursed cards

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "sandwich",
    atlas = "My_Way_and_The_Highway",
    rarity = 1,
    pos = { x = 3, y = 3 },
    cost = 2,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    config = { extra = { mult = 4 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = card.ability.extra.mult }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
             for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                 if G.jokers.cards[i].key == 'lhc' then 
                     SMODS.add_card { key = 'c_xiferp_bolognium' }
                 end
             end
        end
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[#context.scoring_hand] and context.other_card:get_id(full_hand[1]) == context.other_card:get_id(full_hand[#context.full_hand]) then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
    end
end
}```
Like this beast, who's supposed to spit off +4 mult if hand is a sandwich

is it even close to rightly coded for that?

[open aspen]

how do i add a sticker to a playing card with debugplus

[torpid flicker]

ive done some more trying and switched to this

SMODS.Sound({
    key = "music_typ0_me",
    path = "music_me.wav",
    pitch = 1,
    volume = 0.6,
    select_music_track = function()
        
        local mod = SMODS.current_mod
        local config = mod and mod.config

        
        if not config or not config.typ0_pack_music then
            return nil
        end

        
        if G.STATE == G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED then
            local card = G.pack_cards and G.pack_cards.cards and G.pack_cards.cards[1]
            local card_mod_id = card
                and card.config
                and card.config.center
                and card.config.center.mod
                and card.config.center.mod.id

            if card_mod_id == "Typ0" then
                return 1  -- positive number = play this track
            end
        end

        return nil  
    end,
})```
its still not working

the goal is to make it only play  the music while the config is true

[gaunt folio]

Is there a way to make it so joker slots arent modified by the modify_joker_value function somethingcom made?

nvm fixed

[unkempt bronze]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "chance_card",
    atlas = "My_Way_and_The_Highway",
    blueprint_compat = false,
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 7,
    pos = { x = 3, y = 3 },
    config = { extra = { mult = -4 }, },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before then
            if G.jokers.config.card_limit >= 5 then
                 G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
            end
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end
}```
Got another issue: Uh... I'm pretty sure this will add an extra joker slot, bbut it will keep adding them

[loud summit]

what are u trying to do

[unkempt bronze]

subtract four mult and add one joker slot when the card is held

[unkempt bronze]

see above

[open aspen]

if context.after and context.cardarea == G.play then
            -- Loop through the scoring hand.
            for index, otherCard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                -- If we found our card, continue.
                if card == otherCard then
                    -- If the next card exists, continue.
                    if (index + 1) >= #context.scoring_hand then
                        index = 0
                    end
                    -- Apparently, calculate functions process before animations finish.
                    -- So to make the change of the sticker line up with the message, we had to use an event
                    -- (The event is added at the end of an event queue, which means this will run after animations ig)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function() 
                            -- Apply the sticker to the next card.
                            SMODS.Stickers[self.key]:apply(context.scoring_hand[index + 1], true);
                            -- Remove the sticker from the current card.
                            SMODS.Stickers[self.key]:apply(card, false);
                            return true 
                        end
                    }))
                    -- Return the message to display when the sticker is applied.
                    return {
                        message = 'Tagged!',
                        message_card = context.scoring_hand[index + 1],
                        colour = G.C.RED,
                    }
                end
            end
        end

this is code for a sticker, it is meant to move itself to the card on the right after scoring

it works fine, but i noticed that if there are only 2 cards in the hand and the left card has the sticker, instead of displaying tagged on the right card and moving over, it displays tagged on the left card and removes itself

and im not going to lie, i dont see in the code where any kind of logic would lead to that happening

wait

im actually stupid

i figured it out

i think

if (index + 1) >= #context.scoring_hand then
index = 0
end

i assume its this

but also idk why its resetting to index = 0

I'm trying to set up hooks based off the vanilla wiki Am I only allowed to make hooks with vanilla functions? Did I mess anything up with the other files like the json or main one?

iirc, if your mod loads after another mod, AND you are modifying a function that is defined specifically by that mod, you can hook into it as if it was a vanilla function

but i might be wrong

eg cryptid made a function called xyz_function(arg1, arg2, etc) and you loaded after cryptid

you can just hook it like you would normally

i think

[median rose]

so i should probably make it so my mod loads first

[loud summit]

yea u can

your mod has to be a higher priority number tho (load after)

thats literally what youre doing for a lot of vanilla functions anyway since SMODS hooks a lot

[open aspen]

wait why

[open aspen]

yea i did some print debugging

if i have a pair as my played hand with this sticker on the left card

it somehow triggers the loop around failsafe

[median rose]

or afterwards(?) I think I misread what you meant

[open aspen]

yea it needs to be after

cause hooking into a function that doesnt exist will cause problems

[open aspen]

wait im stupid

[loud summit]

problems like crash

[glass scaffold]

Are you possibly missing a return true statement after G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1?

[unkempt bronze]

I've yet to actually test it, I have a vibe it will just keep adding them

[glass scaffold]

You could be correct. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[unkempt bronze]

will ping if breaks

[median rose]

So I changed the following: made the priority a large number making sure my mod is loaded last. Used debug prints to verify the line would appear in the log (I am using debug plus, so it should work), but nothing changes :(. No logs when I win a run. Sucks bc I got this working a few months ago with a different function, but that was with vanilla

quick question, how would one implement a non-standard texture size blind? it looks fine outside of blinds (minus the weird transparency box, dont know whats up with that but in gameplay it looks entirely wrong - i'm looking for a dependencyless solution, so please don't direct me to API mods

[round lion]

might be smods goofing off.

[crisp coral]

in SMODS.Blind:set_blind and a Blind:load hook, reset the atlas for the blind

G.GAME.blind.children.animatedSprite.scale = {x = 512, y = 512}
G.GAME.blind.children.animatedSprite.scale_mag = 512/1.5
G.GAME.blind.children.animatedSprite:reset()

use the smaller value of x and y for scale_mag

and in the SMODS.Blind:defeat function, reset it

G.GAME.blind.children.animatedSprite.scale = {x = 34, y = 34}
G.GAME.blind.children.animatedSprite.scale_mag = 34/1.5
G.GAME.blind.children.animatedSprite:reset()

[daring fern]

Are you loading hooks.lua? Also it should be win_game not G.FUNCS.win_game.

[median rose]

I forgor how to load hooks. How do I do that? 🧍🏾‍♂️

[frosty rampart]

not anything specific, just "is your mod actually loading the file hooks.lua"

[median rose]

Pressuambly not since the function debug lines are not being printed

my main file is main.lua if that's what you're asking

[frosty rampart]

yea, the game will only auto-load your main file and a config.lua file. you need to manually load all other files from your main file
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[median rose]

got it thanks

[median rose]

does this mean all functions, even if they are vanilla, should not have G.FUNCS.?

[golden lake]

oh! thank you so much

[crisp coral]

np jane balatrostuck

[golden lake]

any idea what the semitransparent box might be caused by?

[frosty rampart]

there are some vanilla functions that do have a G.FUNCS., but win_game is not one of them
and yea generally you shouldn't be adding your own stuff to G.FUNCS unless it's for a function that runs upon clicking a button

[reef belfry]

how do you make something link to an info_queue for a non existent object

like just explaining what a term in the joker says

i mean i know it could just be referring to a localization entry but i dont know the exact table youre supposed to put it in

[median rose]

So how come this hook causes a softlock when all I said was print something before and after the original function? The lines do print which is a good thing, though at what cost

local end_round_ref = end_round
function end_round()
    -- Do something before the original code
    print("end round before")
    local ret = end_round_ref
    -- Do something after the original code
    print("end round after")
    return ret
end

[daring fern]

It should be local ret = end_round_ref()

[median rose]

how come i didn't have to do that here?

Also, invoking the function causes the function to trigger twice.

-- hooks.lua
local win_game_ref =  win_game
function win_game()
    -- Do something before the original code
    print("win game before")
    local ret = win_game_ref
    -- Do something after the original code
    print("win game after")
    return ret
end

local end_round_ref = end_round
function end_round()
    -- Do something before the original code
    print("end round before")
    local ret = end_round_ref()
    -- Do something after the original code
    print("end round after")
    return ret
end

[crisp coral]

im guessing jank with your files

[median rose]

So looking back at this, it seems that there are two intances of my mod. Or at at least that is what I am assuming since when I load up the game , there are two of the same Deep Learning mod loaded log. Even though my main file only says it once

How did I mess up this function? I assume the logs I have should appear right when I start a blind considering I have a full deck

why doesnt this do my xmult 😭

this is copy pasted from an identical file where the only difference is the other one gives mult

wait im an idiot

disregard everything i said, i didnt capitalize xMult in my extra.xmult part

[torpid flicker]

bump

[daring fern]

Is TYP0_CONFIG equal to SMODS.current_mod.config?

[torpid flicker]

yes

[torpid flicker]

if you look at the original post then my config code is visible. if it would be convienent to have that in text form i can paste it here.

[round lion]

and now i cant even view the collection without crashing.

``` and a attempt to index field extra

[round lion]

this shit is gonna make me switch to vigil 😭

WHAT DOES IT WANT ME TO DO

I THINK I MIGHT BE LOSING MY HEAD

[pulsar hawk]

i mean all vscode wants is for you to make sure 'other' exists, but if you know it'll always be smth that has a [1] you're fine to ignore it

also other[1] == nil can probably be written as not next(other) and it'd do the same thing but without the warning maybe?

-# don't quote me on that

[daring fern]

It should be card.ability not card.config

[round lion]

this thi ng just ends up killing you immedietely as soon as you play a hand

bypassing everything ive set specifically to limit it

atr im pretty sure this obelisk got rabies.. that or i should just scrap this entirely

nvm it works

[wild patrol]

is there away to remove the sell option from a joker

Need to replace it with something

[wild patrol]

I could just resize the button to cover up the sell button

[subtle hawk]

I might be brainfarting but wouldn't defining the defuse button as self.children.use_button in your Card:highlight hook remove the sell button?

[wild patrol]

I'll give it a shot

Right now in bed

Spent all night working on the mod

Can't wait to finish it for two ppl to play it and tell me it sucks

[hasty kelp]

are there a better way to make this triple clone joker

[gritty stone]

love to see the next "vanilla but its better because i made it bigger" joker

[daring fern]

No.

[warped ocean]

yo can yall go over my code? its crashing and idk why lol

[daring fern]

It should be m_steel and m_gold not Steel and Golden

[warped ocean]

ty o7

[hasty kelp]

okay

[warped ocean]

i was confused cause it said it took string values

[hasty kelp]

is blinds mentioned like this blind.small, blind.big and blind.boss or is it something else cause i make a madness but only trigger at boss blind

[daring fern]

No, only blind.boss exists.

[hasty kelp]

so i cant make a madness only trigger at boss blind only

[red flower]

yes check blind.boss

there's also no reason you can't just take madness and add a not to invert the condition

[hasty kelp]

huh

then its pointless making a mildness joker

i see

i think it would be better to put all information in one message rather than make people jump through a reply chain lol

my goal is to make it so that the music only plays inside my booster packs when the config is on.

and ive tried a fair few things to make it work

but i cant seem too

[red flower]

have you added prints to see if it enters any of the conditions

also have you tried returning a number bigger than 1

[wintry solar]

The select music track will always return nil if I’m not mistaken, you can’t access SMODS.current_mod after the game has loaded

[torpid flicker]

yeah thats what i just discovered

what should i use instead of current_mod?

[wintry solar]

You need to store the current mod outside of the objet

People normally do modname = SMODS.current_mod at the top of their main file

[torpid flicker]

👍

awesome that fixed it!

[pulsar dawn]

Hello I have a quick question, does anybody happen to know where the default joker's calculation function is stored? I'm trying to call a random base game joker within a mod I'm working on.

Thank you in advanced, and I hope you all have a great day!

[wintry solar]

Calling calculate functions from cards you don’t actually have is a lot more advanced than where the function is stored, they use a lot of internal values and functions that are stored within card objects themselves

[long sun]

i'd like my sticker label to fade between three colours. how can i do that?

[pulsar dawn]

👍 Ok I shall rethink how this joker works then.

[wintry solar]

It’s not impossible though, I’ve implemented it a couple of different ways in the past!

[pulsar dawn]

I'm looking into card.lua rn.

[round lion]

i gotta tap into this

[verbal vigil]

Hello! I have a quick question about modifying values for cards, I'm wanting to try and change some of the econ jokers' given cash but I can't seem to find a universal way to do it. Is there any? I'm changing scoring jokers' values in the Card.calculate_joker method. Thank you to anyone who can help!

[wanton jolt]

u think its possible to make a booster/consumable in the shop where if u open it you get a custom ui instead of having to pick a card

[red flower]

yes

for the consumable using the use function to open the ui is enough for boosters i think you would need to hook some things

[red flower]

are you making a public mod or is this for yourself

[verbal vigil]

Probably just for myself and my friends

[red flower]

i would recommend checking this out anyway, it makes it easier to modify jokers
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#taking-ownership

there's also a table in card.lua that has all the default joker values

[verbal vigil]

So I do have to hardcode it in for every joker?

[red flower]

what do you want to do exactly?

sadly most of the values are in different places with different names

[verbal vigil]

I have a custom stat stored in card.ability which I want to universally change the money given

[red flower]

money given by jokers or any money obtained

[verbal vigil]

Given by jokers

[red flower]

well some of them are in calculate_joker and others in calculate_dollar_bonus, you can change them there

the proper way would probably be to use context.post_trigger to change returned dollar values and hook calculate_dollar_bonus for the end of round ones

if you want to support all modded jokers

[verbal vigil]

O_o

[slim ferry]

you could also hook SMODS.calculate_individual_effect for returned dollars

[verbal vigil]

Alright, I'll try these. Thank you!

[wild patrol]

I get a nil value with whatever I put

but this seems like the direction

[unkempt bronze]

            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
    end```
Okay, I played a flush, and this activated on EVERY card

Flush didn't even have a pair

[slim ferry]

Card.get_id doesnt take any arguments outside of self, so youre essentially checking context.other_card:get_id() == context.other_card:get_id()
not sure what exactly the intended effect is here but i assume you want to check if context.other_card is the first or last card at least

[unkempt bronze]

if first card and last card are =

[unkempt bronze]

any tricks to make that happen?

[slim ferry]

so if context.full_hand[1]:get_id() == context.full_hand[#context.full_hand]:get_id()

and also check if context.other_card is either of those cards

[unkempt bronze]

oh. I got them backwards, thanks!

Okay, it didn't activate at all

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.full_hand[#context.full_hand] == true and context.full_hand[1]:get_id() == context.full_hand[#context.full_hand]:get_id() then

[slim ferry]

yeah because context.full_hand[#context.full_hand] isnt going to equal true

idk what the idea there is

[unkempt bronze]

Is context.other_card == #context.full_hand any better?

[slim ferry]

i assume you mean context.other_card == context.full_hand[#context.full_hand]

[unkempt bronze]

yes

[slim ferry]

yeah that works

[unkempt bronze]

Also, in the same card is

             for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                 if G.jokers.cards[i].key == 'lhc' then 
                     SMODS.add_card { key = 'c_xiferp_bolognium' }
                 end
             end
        end```

[slim ferry]

G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.key

[unkempt bronze]

(adds a specific consumable if another joker is held)

[slim ferry]

also

no card will ever have the key lhc

[unkempt bronze]

Besides the one joker I'm checking for

[slim ferry]

no

[unkempt bronze]

why?

[slim ferry]

j prefix for jokers

and the mod prefix

[unkempt bronze]

gotcha

[mellow thunder]

just out of curiosity, how feasible would it be to make a deck that adds chips and mult together on the final scoring step instead of multiplying them together? I would be nerfing the blind scaling heavily so it would maybe be possible to beat

[slim ferry]

should be very simple

just SMODS.set_scoring_calculation("add") iirc

for the deck apply

[mellow thunder]

oh is it already just a default setting? oops

[slim ferry]

its pretty recent but yeah

[mellow thunder]

alright I'll check it out, thanks for pointing me in the right direction

[wild patrol]

coudln't remove the sell button

so I just covered it with a bigger button

[unkempt bronze]

Also, couldn't figure out how to code a card with xmult multing itself

like x2x2x2x2x2 and so on

        if context.before then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.mult
            },
            card.ability.extra.mult == card.ability.extra.mult * 1.1
        end
    end```
so the code looks like this

[slim ferry]

firstly

you cant run code after returning

second, you shouldnt have a comma after the return

third, it should be = and not ==

[unkempt bronze]

anything else?

[slim ferry]

no

actually

yes

you cant do scoring in context.before because it gets reset after, you should use context.initial_scoring_step

[unkempt bronze]

How do I display the running multiplier?

[slim ferry]

what

[frosty rampart]

this is basic localization usage

[shell timber]

have you considered learning basic lua ?

[frosty rampart]

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

[slim ferry]

kid named loc_vars

[mellow thunder]

I'm getting a crash whenever I try to start a game with the deck, here's my code in case I did something stupid:

    key = "preschooldeck",
    atlas = "badlatroenhancements",
    pos = {x = 5, y = 0},
    config = { ante_scaling = 0.1 },
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Preschool Deck",
        text = {
            "{C:blue}Chips{} and {C:red}Mult{} are added",
            "together instead of multiplied",
            "{C:red}X#1#{} base Blind size"
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, back)
        return { vars = { self.config.ante_scaling } }
    end,
    apply = function(self)
        SMODS.set_scoring_calculation("add")
    end
}```
I also tried updating Steamodded and nothing changed

[slim ferry]

you might need to do it in an event

since apply runs pretty early afaik

[wintry solar]

it does need an event, yeah

[mellow thunder]

yeah that seems to have worked, thank you again

now to see if this is actually viable to play lmao

[slim ferry]

the apply function overrides the default i think

so youll need to do G.GAME.starting_params.ante_scaling = self.config.ante_scaling manually in the apply

[mellow thunder]

I tried changing the blind scaling with loc_vars and it seems to work fine?

[wintry solar]

that's not true

[slim ferry]

loc_vars will run a lot so that definitely isnt a good idea

[unkempt bronze]

                    'Currently {X:mult,C:white} X#4# {} Mult',```
Not working right...
(joker code for context)
```SMODS.Joker {
    key = "pex_card",
    atlas = "My_Way_and_The_Highway",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 7,
    pos = { x = 3, y = 2 },
    config = { extra = { xmult = 1 }, },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult * 1.1
        end
    end
}```

[slim ferry]

you should actually return the xmult

or SMODS.calculate_effect the xmult

if you need the mult increase to go after

also youre using #4# in the description when the mult is variable 1 in loc_vars

[unkempt bronze]

I'm trying to show xmult

not mult

[frosty rampart]

fill in "xmult" wherever eris said just "mult"

[slim ferry]

the point is the position of the value

[median rose]

I am working on just getting familiarize with the code. I started yesterday in which all I did was make a hook script that logged the other scripts. It was working fine yesterday, but now, I cannot open the game. lovely opens for a bit, and then closes. What did I do wrong? Verifying integriy of files does not do anything

-- hooks.lua
local win_game_ref =  win_game
function win_game()
    -- Do something before the original code
    print("win game before")
    local ret = win_game_ref()
    -- Do something after the original code
    print("win game after")
    return ret
end
-- imagine fucntions like this for: end_round, new_round, draw_from_deck_to_hand, discard_cards_from_highlighted, play_cards_from_highlighted, and evaluate_play_ref

[knotty granite]

What did I do wrong I am pretty new to modding

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions read this

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/tree/main/src also use this as a reference if you need one since i get the idea that whatever it is youre using is at least a bit outdated

[knotty granite]

Im using the source code

[frosty rampart]

yea don't use any vanilla balatro code as reference, it's not an accurate reflection of how to mod the game
vanillaremade remakes all the vanilla content as if it was modded content

[slim ferry]

yeah balatro source code is quite different from mod code (and is pretty janky in some places because thunk)

[knotty granite]

ok

[knotty granite]

At least its an error I have never seen before

[red flower]

this is because you dont have any context checks which makes your card calculate probablities inside the contexts that calculate probability which makes an infinite loop

also loc_vars is inside calculate for some reason

[red flower]

missing a comma

also you have two loc_vars 😭

[knotty granite]

Im new 😭

😭

[red flower]

thats still the same infinite loop problem i said

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

[dawn granite]

i'm not exactly sure what's up here

[red flower]

classic talisman

swap Talisman for Amulet if you have it installed

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#why-do-i-get-attempt-to-compare-number-with-table-when-talisman-is-installed

[dawn granite]

i don't have amulet so should i just turn off talisman in general

i'd download amulet but it's 11pm and i just wanna make sure the joker works before i go to bed

[red flower]

yeah

[knotty granite]

what do I need to change

[viscid talon]

how do i make a deck that adds +1 booster slot

[dawn granite]

ok it works when talisman isn't losing it's shit cool

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#smodschange_voucher_limitmodsmodschange_booster_limitmod

[dawn granite]

i'll code a talisman fix tomorrow for now i need to eepy

[viscid talon]

so id do smth like

        SMODS.change_voucher_limit(1)
    end,```

?

[red flower]

yeah

[slim ferry]

But booster

[red flower]

no reason to, just make players use amulet

[viscid talon]

oke

danks

[dawn granite]

i would rather make sure the mod is usable no matter what other mods you like to play with so it does kinda matter to me

[red flower]

amulet is literally a talisman replacement

like it's the same mod but without the crash

[knotty granite]

How do I fix that infinite loop problem

[frosty rampart]

talisman is probably being deprecated in favor of amulet soon

[dawn granite]

ah i see

[frosty rampart]

you need to add context checks
did you read the calculate wiki page at all?

[dawn granite]

this is like my first time hearing about this stuff lmao

[knotty granite]

no

[red flower]

me when i don't follow the advice given to me and expect help

[frosty rampart]

ok well eris linked you it last time you asked, and i highly recommend reading it lol

[knotty granite]

srry

[mellow thunder]

does anyone happen to know why a blind debuffing hearts like this is toggles the debuffs whenever a card gets an enhancement/a non-playing card is added?

    return {debuff = true}
 end```
I also have some code that prevents you from scoring at all unless a queen is visible, so that might be doing something weird but I have no idea what:
```if context.debuff_hand and not G.GAME.blind.disabled then
            local _queenheld = false
            for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do
                if G.hand.cards[i]:get_id() == 12 then
                    _queenheld = true
                end
            end
            for i, queencheck in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
                if queencheck:get_id() == 12 then
                    _queenheld = true
                end
            end
            if _queenheld ~= true or string.find(context.scoring_name, "Flush") then
                blind.triggered = true
                return { debuff = true }
            end
        end```

oh and these are both in a calculate function, just in case this makes it look like I forgot that or something

[smoky holly]

im trying to figure out how exactly i would get the last used planet card

[abstract turret]

Hey, guys I'm new to modding Balatro(and lua in general)

How can i manipulate the odds of joker appearing in shop(Guaranteed on every roll or has increased chance compared to other jokers)

[viscid talon]

        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_polychrome

        local poly_tally = 0
        if G.playing_cards then
            for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
                if card.edition and card.edition.key == "e_polychrome" then poly_tally = poly_tally + 1 end
            end
        end
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult, card.ability.extra.xmult * poly_tally, card.ability.extra.divine } }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            local poly_tally = 0
            for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
                if card.edition and card.edition.key == "e_polychrome" then poly_tally = poly_tally + 1 end
            end
            return {
                Xmult = 1 + card.ability.extra.xmult * poly_tally,
            }
        end
        in_pool = function(self, args)
        for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards or {}) do
            if card.edition and card.edition.key == "e_polychrome" then
                return true
            end
        end
        return false
    end
``` it no worky

[viscid talon]

if you make your own rarity, i believe you can alter the shop rate (e.g. shop rate = 4), but im unsure how to do that with regular jokers

[frosty rampart]

your in_pool function is currently inside the calculate function

[viscid talon]

oops

how

im so dumb

ok just applied

[frosty rampart]

happens to the best of us lol

[smoky holly]

im gonna assume this isnt saved already in the game and i would need to make a hook to do that

[knotty granite]

at least it loaded

[red flower]

you can use the global mod calculate and save it in context.using_consumable

consumeable?

one of the two

[knotty granite]

had oops btw

[smoky holly]

whats global mod calculate...

[red flower]

short answer: you cant
long answer: you can make a rarity, change how create_card_for_shop works by patching it or change how the pool system works entirely

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/The-Mod-Object#modcalculateself-table---table-boolean

[knotty granite]

also N' thanks for help

[abstract turret]

Ok thanks for answering :)

[knotty granite]

oops was not at fault

[smoky holly]

ohhh my god i didnt know you could do that

that changes things ok

do i do it like this, in the mod.lua?

[red flower]

yes
table should be context (i mean it could be table but its the context)

also assuming J_O_Y = SMODS.current_mod

[smoky holly]

ahh ok ok

how would i access a variable in here? would i just return that variable?

[knotty granite]

what do I do 😭

[smoky holly]

ok this seems to be doing straight up nothing

can i not store this in our custom table do i have to use SMODS.current_mod

thats probably what it is

[frosty rampart]

yea smods doesn't know shit about your mod's custom global table, SMODS.current_mod refers to the mod object that SMODS keeps track of

N said that was ok because he assumed you had local J_O_Y = SMODS.current_mod earlier in the file

[smoky holly]

yeah i misunderstood what he thought i meant, lmao

[smoky holly]

i still dont know how to do this

is it a basic lua thing or is it like,

[frosty rampart]

unclear what you're asking

[smoky holly]

so i wanna store a variable in here that tracks the last used planet card

so that another joker can reference that

[frosty rampart]

ahh right
so for global variables like that, you'll want to save it as a variable in the G.GAME table. so basically just

if context.using_consumeable then
  G.GAME.joy_last_planet = context.consumeable.config.center.key
end

and then your joker can check if G.GAME.joy_last_planet exists, and if it does, do something with that

[smoky holly]

hell yeah thank you

mm i still need to check if its a planet

[frosty rampart]

right
uhhh the center should store some info about its set but i dunno that off the top of my head, lemme check

[smoky holly]

wait i can just check constellation

[frosty rampart]

ah yep

[red flower]

if anyone dares to use joy as a prefix im suing them

[frosty rampart]

right i forgor

[smoky holly]

hey so for some reason it thinks GAME is a nil value

right here

[smoky holly]

dw ours has underscores

[frosty rampart]

don't set the last planet in the config table, that won't update

but also GAME is nil at certain times (it doesn't get generated until you start a game for the first time in the session, or at least after the jokers are all initialized)

[smoky holly]

ah. yeah

[frosty rampart]

you can just use G.GAME.j_o_y_last_planet directly in the calculate function and loc_vars and whatever

[smoky holly]

well heres the thing

is it doesnt. save if i exit the run and then re-open it

[next timber]

im trying to add compat with spectrum framework by making the decks with extra suits have the lower spectrum values, but nothing seems to be happening? the config has easy_spectra = true which isn't carrying over to G.GAME.starting_params, though G.GAME.starting_params.diverse_deck is set to true only on the 6 suit decks so i have to assume spectra is detecting it, so im not sure why the values arent decreasing

[frosty rampart]

that's strange
it. should

yea i can confirm that it saves and loads anything stored in G.GAME just fine
maybe the game saves before calculating anything with using_consumeable, and you just quit too quickly for it to autosave

[smoky holly]

well it runs through the calculation just fine

i have a joker that updates its display to match the last sold joker, it updates fine

but then when i exit and relaunch it resets the display

so i think the variable is resetting

we had this issue with another joker some time ago too

[frosty rampart]

and you're directly using G.GAME.j_o_y_last_planet in the loc_vars function?

[smoky holly]

        local config = card.ability.extra
        local planet = G.GAME.j_o_y_last_planet
        local label

        if G.GAME.j_o_y_last_planet then
            table.insert(info_queue, planet.center)  
            label = localize { type = "name_text", set = planet.set, key = planet.key }
        else
            label = localize "k_none"
        end

        return {
            vars = { config.planet_count, label }
        }
end```

this is what the loc_vars code looks like

[frosty rampart]

ok yea, like i said, maybe you're just quitting too fast after the calculation runs for the game to save
try advancing the game state in any way (picking a blind, opening a pack, playing a hand, etc) in between using a planet and quitting the game, and see if the issue still remains

[smoky holly]

oh YEAH

[carmine kindle]

Technical questions :).

I'm working on a mod which adds unique modification which functionally and cosmetically change jokers effect (with each joker having a set of unique modifications). Currently I'm using custom hidden editions which I use to display infoqueques for each joker variant. The code for the mod is in the joker itself, not the edition. There's a way to make the edition display a variant used by the specific joker it is being used as an infoqueque from ?

Sorry for the long question but I wanted to be clear about it

[smoky holly]

i feel like an idiot, thank you

[tidal hemlock]

it was generated via anomaly 74

[subtle hawk]

That doesn't give much context

A74 code?

Although I'm not sure how the source of a seal could be a problem

But who knows

[tidal hemlock]

my card that i made, just checking if it could have been my mod or something else

[subtle hawk]

Code?..

[gaunt folio]

If anyone uses a similar code somethingcom wrote or knows it, How would I reset a joker's values back to normal at the end of a round? Other methods I've tried give errors and this gives nothing

[tidal hemlock]

made via jokerforge so expect jank

[subtle hawk]

Okay I don't exactly see why it does that

Does it happen like with any seal

[daring fern]

chosen_joker doesn't exist in the context.end_of_round check.

[tidal hemlock]

nope, only purple is bugged

[subtle hawk]

And if you get one a different way?

[tidal hemlock]

i havent tested that yet

[subtle hawk]

Buh

[tidal hemlock]

ok so i've discovered 2 things:

1. blue seal is also broken
2. its bugged with cards that arent generated via triple rainbow

red seal and gold seal seem to work poperly though

[subtle hawk]

So triple rainbow isn't a problem then

And since your mod is jokerforge, I would assume you wouldn't exactly make some new mechanics that break shit

Probably another mod's fault

[tidal hemlock]

yeah i'll try disabling some of the mods i have on

it's probably bunco, it started just after i downloaded bunco

tbf bunco breaks everything

[loud citrus]

how would i check to see each time the shop is re-rolled?

[red flower]

have you checked flash card

[loud citrus]

i completely forgot about that joker 😂
i've only been playing blindside sense it came out

[round lion]

add card is not adding the cards to deck at all, and is only creating ghosts

[cerulean rose]

how are you suppoed to change the joker limit? i've tried setting G.jokers.config.card_limit but that yields extremely glitchy results

[sturdy compass]

Probably G.jokers:change_size(number)

[surreal quail]

how does one change the music with a balatro mod?

[round lion]

how do i get unscoring cards anyway

[daring fern]

context.cardarea == 'unscored'

[daring fern]

‎

[rare phoenix]

did they change jokerExists?

[daring fern]

No, because that doesn't exist.

[rare phoenix]

What???

It was def a thing at some point

[frosty rampart]

if it was, it was probably in like smods 0.9.8
use SMODS.find_card for what you're trying to do

[daring fern]

No, it never existed.

[wild patrol]

there's no defuse mechanic yet but it's a start

[rare phoenix]

I am NOT crazy

[red flower]

you are

sounds like a chatgpt invention

the fact that the first mention is 7 months ago when i was already modding makes me believe it's either just the same chatgpt hallucination or people copying code from a mod without copying the function too

they all mention it in regards to making a sound too

[shell timber]

jokerExists isn't real i think

[red flower]

ok yeah it's the second thing
https://github.com/search?q=jokerExists&type=code

the fact people did this when find_joker exists is astounding

ah it's also in yahimod

[bold gyro]

what part of my sticker should i target to allow it to work with the set_sprite_pos function? (eg. for jokers instead you use card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({ pos }))

[red flower]

G.shared_stickers[key]

[abstract turret]

Guys, i need small help, i create a function that replaces on reroll(almost) every joker with baron, it works through create_card, but when i try to chance the 'j_baron' with my modded joker key, it crashes and gives me an error about center is nil

i tried to replace it with ortalab 'j_biker' and it generates. What i did wrong?

[red flower]

code?

[abstract turret]

`local original_create_card = create_card

local force_next_joker = false

function create_card(card_type, area, legendary, rarity, skip_materialize, soulable, forced_key, ...)
if card_type == 'Joker' and force_next_joker and not forced_key then
force_next_joker = false
print('[ForceNextJoker] FORCING BARON')

    return create_card('Joker',area,legendary,rarity,skip_materialize,soulable,'j_baron')
end

local card = original_create_card(card_type,area,legendary,rarity,skip_materialize,soulable,forced_key,...)

if card_type == 'Joker' then
    force_next_joker = true

    local key = forced_key
    if not key and card and card.config and card.config.center then
        key = card.config.center.key
    end

    print('[ForceNextJoker] Joker created:', key)
end

return card

end`

This is the part of function.lua there another thing

[red flower]

and what are you replacing j_baron with?

[red flower]

pseudorandom_probability is missing an argument

[abstract turret]

The joker with key='banancik' the joker i added

[knotty granite]

thanks

[red flower]

like 'j_[mod prefix]_banancik'?

[abstract turret]

No....i did like 'banancik' as if wrote it in joker.lua

[red flower]

it needs the full key

[abstract turret]

Thanks, il try this when i get to the computer, hope it works

[knotty granite]

why does it do this

[red flower]

your context check is not strict enough

when do you want it to act

[knotty granite]

when a card is played

[red flower]

for each card played?

[knotty granite]

yes

[red flower]

then youre missing context.individual

[knotty granite]

yeah I realized that

just now

[red flower]

also you should indent your code properly

i think some of your conditions are at the wrong level

[knotty granite]

idk if its not working or im getting really unlucky

does oops automattically work with modded jokers?

[red flower]

yes

if you use pseudorandom_probability

[knotty granite]

the only conclusion then is that it is not crashing but not working

and I basically changed nothing

[red flower]

context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play

[knotty granite]

it can't be context.cardarea and context.individual?

[red flower]

it can but 1) it's better to have the proper context first before the other information in the context (cardarea is an attribute of individual) 2) you need to check what area context.cardarea is, not what context.individual is

[knotty granite]

ok

does the same thing

nvm I am dumb

[past spade]

I have an effect that reduces ante on blind skip, if I trigger it and then exit the run, the ante goes back up but the skip is still taken. However blinds still show the reduced chip score until entered. Other effects triggering on blind skip seems to work properly

[red flower]

try saving the run after the tag is used

[past spade]

I tried save_run() after changing ante but it didn't change anything

[red flower]

can i see the code

[past spade]

` calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.skip_blind and not context.blueprint then
card.ability.extra.skip_counter = card.ability.extra.skip_counter + 1
if card.ability.extra.skip_counter >= card.ability.extra.skips then

            ease_ante(-card.ability.extra.anti_ante)
            G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante = G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante or G.GAME.round_resets.ante
            G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante = G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante - card.ability.extra.anti_ante
            
            card.ability.extra.skip_counter = 0
            card.ability.extra.skips = card.ability.extra.skips + 1

            save_run()`

[red flower]

save the run in an event

[past spade]

what timing should it use? just immediate?

[red flower]

i just used the default

[past spade]

so this?
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function() save_run() return true end }))

[red flower]

yeah

[past spade]

yup that works, thanks!

[daring fern]

‎

[long sun]

my Joker isn't doing anything, why not?

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_id() == card.ability.extra.chosen_rank then
      return { xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult }
    end```

i've checked, and it has both its chosen rank and xmult assigned

it's not giving any xmult when its chosen rank is played

ah have the full code

[frosty rampart]

You're setting the chosen rank to card.base.value, which is a string

[long sun]

oh ^^;

so get the base.value of other_card too?

[frosty rampart]

either that or do get_id() in the set_ability function

[long sun]

or the id of the chosen card?

ah ye

thanks! ^^

[frosty rampart]

no problem!

                }))``` why does the card is always destroy after

[slim ferry]

SMODS.destroy_cards already adds an event

iirc

[final jewel]

so I remove every event and it will work

[slim ferry]

you should keep the event for creating the card but remove the other

[final jewel]

okok

[mellow thunder]

does anyone happen to know why a blind debuffing hearts like this is toggles the debuffs whenever a card gets an enhancement/a non-playing card is added? I use context.debuff_hand elsewhere as well, so I can't just do debuff = {suit = 'hearts' }. I've also tried commenting out the other code and nothing has changed, so something about this specific code doesn't work:

  return {debuff = true}
end```

[slim ferry]

you should do context.debuff_card:is_suit('Hearts', true), with the true here making it bypass a debuff. otherwise the debuff will toggle every time its checked because debuffed cards normally dont count as their suit

[mellow thunder]

that was the problem, thank you

[viscid talon]

just checked over my code again and it still no worky

        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_polychrome

        return false
    end```

@frosty rampart what do

it doesnt do anything

[red flower]

what part doesn't work, the scoring?

you're checking card instead of playing_card

[viscid talon]

yeah the scoring

hmm

[frosty rampart]

ah yea that would do it
also you still aren't ending the calculate function properly, so the in_pool function isn't going to do anything. you need to add another end, right before the in_pool function

[viscid talon]

oke

uhh

if i dont add the extra end, its fine

[frosty rampart]

you need a comma too

like you have a comma at the end of the loc_vars function

[viscid talon]

o

nope

[slim ferry]

you still have calculate code at the bottom that isnt inside calculate

you should put that in calculate

[viscid talon]

moved it

i have a new issue now: how do i make a booster pack pick up a card instead of applying it

[primal robin]

Whats hex vale of G.C.CHIPS

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Booster

[stoic void]

It is #009DFF

[viscid talon]

its fine i fixed it

[slim ferry]

is there a way to allow any version of a mod in dependencies? do i just not include a version?

[frosty rampart]

yea that should work

[slim ferry]

wait actually i just realized that having smods dependency with no version restriction is pointless because you literally need smods to see missing dependencies anyway

[red flower]

add a balatro dependency

[frosty rampart]

oh that does remind me tho
is there a way to make a mod conflict with talisman without also conflicting with amulet (which provides talisman)

[red flower]

looking at the code for conflicts i dont think so

[frosty rampart]

dang, ok

[cyan lagoon]

heya, why this doesn't get retriggered?

i had a fix in a form of 'return nil, true' but now it's here by default and the joker still doesn't get retriggered

[sonic musk]

Hey guys, does someone have a joker sample? I wanna trace over one but the one I found isn't the right size

nvm i found it

[viscid talon]

am i missing something?

WHERE DID THE SIZE THING COME FROM

[frosty rampart]

your probability calls are wrong
you need a string as the seed between card and the numerator

[wanton jolt]

i love hovering cards and have balatro crash

[viscid talon]

how do i do that

vremade_bloodstone?

[frosty rampart]

SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "something", 1, card.ability.extra.odds). the string can be anything you want
and do the same for the get_probability_vars function too

[viscid talon]

oek

[frosty rampart]

vanillaremade usually uses the key of the joker as the seed

[viscid talon]

huh i see

thats strange, ill do it rn

[wanton jolt]

yeah for pseudo random probability u need to have ur seed

[viscid talon]

seed,,,

[wanton jolt]

,,,,

[viscid talon]

i also decided to simplify no dice (a joker of mine) bc its code was way too janky

[frosty rampart]

if two different probability calls share the same seed, then you could (theoretically) predict the outcome of one based on the outcome of the other

[viscid talon]

uh what the Fuck

[frosty rampart]

because it's not actually random

uhhh hold on

the code rn

[wanton jolt]

whats ur description

[frosty rampart]

fuck my bad, you don't need the seed for get_probability_vars

my mistake

[viscid talon]

i used to use jokerforge to make probability jokers

[wanton jolt]

oh no

[viscid talon]

yeah and now ive switched to standard coding i keep finding random bugs

whats weird is that other probability jokers (e.g. staircase) work

wot

[wanton jolt]

dont mind the weird structure, i'm ommiting the uninteresting

invert ur seed and ur odds when u do local numerator, denominator

also ur french

@viscid talon

[wintry solar]

yeah those arguments are in the wrong order

[wanton jolt]

eremel

ur here

[wintry solar]

I am here

[viscid talon]

oak

[wanton jolt]

i have an icon for malverk, i still have the project file if u wanna tweak

[wintry solar]

I'm okay, thanks, I'll make my own at some point

[wanton jolt]

oh okay

[wintry solar]

you should definitely use this for something though!

[wanton jolt]

uhhh idk lol

[viscid talon]

FGRHRHSHFSHEFHESDFHSGH I STILL GET THE SAME ERRORRRR

heres the raw lua file im gonna need to take a breather and eat some dinner

[wintry solar]

your SMODS.pseudorandom_probability call is missing the seed

[frosty rampart]

the thing feli was saying was only for get_probability_vars, the seed needs to go before the numerator in the pseudorandom_probability call

there's actually no seed at all in get_probability_vars, which again, is my mistake for saying so initially. that string is just the identifier for the probability call

[wanton jolt]

yeah and u switched the seed in line 31 too

[frosty rampart]

that's what i just said 😭

[wanton jolt]

no

[slim ferry]

yes?

fym no

[wanton jolt]

i cant even test the code anyways because my game keeps crashing when i hover cards 😭😭

[slim ferry]

that seems more like your own issue

tbh

[wanton jolt]

i know
