[frosty rampart]

^ as soon as you return, the rest of the code in the function immediately stops running

[mystic river]

i would expect that to always be 1

[frosty rampart]

i assume 2 is the first entry in slots_to_retrigger

[ashen parrot]

i guess so

uh

how would i add repetitions without returning

[frosty rampart]

you don't

but you're going about this the wrong way

[white hull]

use SMODS.calculate_effect instead

[slim ferry]

repetitions are already checked once per card

[frosty rampart]

^

[wraith jolt]

So I am looking the Vanilla Remade and ripping the codes and mixing them up but I feel like I am missing something

[daring fern]

SMODS.calculate_effect can't do retriggers.

[white hull]

:0

[slim ferry]

this doesnt work for anything that requires actually passing out the information to elsewhere, which is like anything other than scoring and money effects

[ashen parrot]

do i do it in an individual hand context then

[slim ferry]

context.repetition

which runs once per card to retrigger

[ashen parrot]

okay

is there a way to get an individual card's hand index from its other_card object

[frosty rampart]

what for

[ashen parrot]

checking if it should be retriggered against the slots_to_retrigger table

[frosty rampart]

don't try to get the index
just loop over slots_to_retrigger, and check if G.hand.cards[slot] == context.other_card
if that's true for any of the slots, then retrigger

[ashen parrot]

alright

[hallow saddle]

My joker is trying to look for any played enchantment and store it when it finds it so it can put it on a different card (in the same hand). Would it be able to put it on a previous card?

[stiff locust]

yes but whether the enhancement counts to scoring or not depends on the contexts you use

i would recommend using context.before then looking through the hand with

for index, value in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
value is the current card being checked and index is the position of the card, so index = 1 is the leftmost, then it goes to the right

[hallow saddle]

gotcha, it should do a midas type of check, thats the template im using. So yes, it would enchant pre-scoring

[stiff locust]

if you want it on the previous card you'd first check if G.play.cards[index - 1] exists, then apply the enhancement to it if it does exist

[hallow saddle]

its just gonna pick a random card index other than the found enchant to use

its called stray magics for that reason

[stiff locust]

oh well then you would first save the index of the found card then use pseudorandom to pick another

[hallow saddle]

Will do!

[knotty granite]

What is unique source string?

[stiff locust]

pseudorandom("seed", min,max) seed is a string that can be anything

the min should be 1 the max should be #G.play.cards

[hallow saddle]

local randi = pseudorandom("modprefix_another_seed", 1, context.scoring_hand:size())
^ this is what i got

[red flower]

it's so you can only eliminate the debuff with the same string

like a password

[stiff locust]

scoring_hand only hits cards which score, not every card in the hand, do you want it to work on unscored cards or not

[hallow saddle]

that is a good question honestly, I figured it would only be scoring but it could work on unscored, could work with everything held and still be in theme? That may make it less viable tho

[wraith jolt]

Where within Vanilla Remade are Joker codes. Not their text description

[stiff locust]

midas got nerfed to not hit unscored a while back because of the insane vampire synergy

[knotty granite]

ok

and

[stiff locust]

so its up to you how you treat it but

[hallow saddle]

I was unaware, that makes so much sense

[knotty granite]

what is the joker pasrt

[stiff locust]

if you want it to be only scored cards, replace G.play.cards with context.scoring_hand and itll be the same

[hallow saddle]

I wouldnt be too concerned bc it can only enchant one card every played hand so it wouldn't be terribly op

[hallow saddle]

gotcha

I have

for i,v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
if v == card then pos = i break end
end

from the template

[stiff locust]

g.hand.cards is held cards in your hand

[hallow saddle]

kk ill switch it out

[stiff locust]

g.play.cards is the full hand you played

g.deck.cards is the remaining cards in your deck

[hallow saddle]

ima start a google doc with all the tips tbh

[stiff locust]

g.playing_cards is every card in your full deck, even those played or discarded or stuff

[stiff locust]

vanillaremade already has this kinda stuff in it im not sure if youd need to

[hallow saddle]

tis true, I stole the midas reference from therer

[stiff locust]

it solves almost every problem

[hallow saddle]

Ill keep referencing it, thanks for the help!

[white hull]

How can I check if a consumable is from a booster pack and not from your consumable slots?

[slim ferry]

in what scenario

[stiff locust]

im guessing they mean if you used a tarot from a pack or from your joker slots

[slim ferry]

used or just it existing?

[white hull]

used

[stiff locust]

in which case just check if it's in the booster pack card area when it is used

i do not remember the name of it but there is an area for it somewhere

[slim ferry]

check context.area

[white hull]

I tried if card.area == G.pack_cards then in the use function but it's not making a difference

[slim ferry]

card.area will always be G.play since its moved there for the use animation

[white hull]

use doesn't have context though

[slim ferry]

oh is this for the consumable itself

[white hull]

yeah

[slim ferry]

then just check area == G.pack_cards

[white hull]

oh right

let's see

[stiff locust]

whats the contexts for when a joker is destroyed

[slim ferry]

context.joker_type_destroyed

though that happens for any non-playing card

[stiff locust]

well then i can check if set is joker so

[slim ferry]

yeah

[stiff locust]

thatll work

[slim ferry]

context.card i think?

[stiff locust]

is it context.card for the card destroyed

aight

[wooden orbit]

how do repetitions work?

in my case im trying to make a "reversed" brainstorm

kinda

Confused

[frosty rampart]

if you're trying to make a joker that copies other jokers, like blueprint/brainstorm, that's a distinct feature from joker retriggers, which is a distinct feature from playing card retriggers

[wooden orbit]

Revolutionizing

[frosty rampart]

so which one are you trying to do lol

[wooden orbit]

brainstorm but instead copies the ability of the rightmost joker

[daring fern]

local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[#G.jokers.cards], context)
if ret then
    ret.colour = G.C.RED
end
return ret

[stiff locust]

takes a black and white picture of you and puts it in a file so wide you could use it as a stool

the file is labelled "people who changed left to right on blueprint/brainstorm"

[wooden orbit]

thanks

you're pretty funny you know that

[stiff locust]

i wouldn't know

people don't play my funny mod

[main pebble]

why isn't this rarity localization working

[daring fern]

It should be k_modprefix_key in labels.

[main pebble]

still prints as ERROR + the badge color doesn't change

am i supposed to change rarity to k_prefix_key?

[daring fern]

No.

[main pebble]

not how it's done on vremade

nvm it works

[slim ferry]

i have it without the k prefix in labels yet it works for me

[knotty granite]

what symbol?

[daring fern]

Your calculate and first if is missing an end

[wooden orbit]

can you show us the lines

[frosty rampart]

you're estill not closing all the ifs in your calculate, you need one more end

there are a lot of other issues here too tho

like context.played isn't a thing

[knotty granite]

ok

[main pebble]

how do i stylize the rarity text

text_colour doesn't work

[knotty granite]

how do you say when a hand is played

[wild patrol]

I need to setup a dictionary for the custom jokers

We made a joker called copycat that lets chat vote on what it should turn into

But the custom jokers end up being the j_prefix_name lol

In the list

[torpid flicker]

is there anyway to change the config settings of another mod with my steammoddded mod?

[red flower]

SMODS.Mods["mod id"].config

[torpid flicker]

awesome thanks

[stiff locust]

hey nnnnnnnn

i broke the voucher codeeee

[granite jay]

Anyone know how to change the textures of small blind and big blind in my mod?

[stiff locust]

redeeming a voucher during setting_blind makes it hang (no play or discard button)

[red flower]

are you doing it in an event

[stiff locust]

yes

[red flower]

what if you put that in another event

[stiff locust]

i tried putting the entire function code in an event

that caused the game to crash

or it mightve been betmma vouchers or something, honestly I dont know what happened

i will try double wrapping the function call in events i spose

[vernal path]

is context.money_altered broken? Whenever I check for it, the game hard crashes

[stiff locust]

sounds like your smods is outdated

[vernal path]

ah

[stiff locust]

double wrapping the function call in an event changed nothing

[vernal path]

oh dang
hm

[frosty rampart]

unless there was a specific issue associated with context.money_altered, i'd assume outdated smods would just not do anything with that calculation because context.money_altered would always be nil whenever it calculates

[stiff locust]

well then idk cause money_altered works fine for me

[red flower]

no idea then, the code might not be prepared for that state exactly

make sure youre returning true in the events

[wintry solar]

what is the crash

[stiff locust]

i am returning true

[vernal path]

literally nothing
like, hard crashes

[wintry solar]

oh, what's your code?

[vernal path]

doesnt even print anything to the log

will have to check lol uhhh

[stiff locust]

i think whats happening is the game sends it back to setting_blind after the first hand got drawn, which makes the first hand not get drawn which breaks everything
removing the prev_state code didn't change this result though

[red flower]

you could change it to first_hand_drawn :3

[stiff locust]

i could wait until context.first_hand_drawn to redeem the voucher but id like to not have to do that

mostly because this effect triggers whenever food jokers get destroyed

[vernal path]

seems like it's 0?

[stiff locust]

which ceremonial dagger does on setting blind

[red flower]

hmm

[red flower]

the lua code

[wintry solar]

wdym it's 0, what code are you trying to run lol

[vernal path]

oh as in
haha

thought you meant exit code

:P

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.money_altered then
            return {
                dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars
            }
        end
    end```

[red flower]

lol

[wintry solar]

this will infinitely loop

[stiff locust]

infinite loop crash

[vernal path]

as

[stiff locust]

lol

[vernal path]

ahhh

[frosty rampart]

ah that would do it lmao

[vernal path]

right, this makes sense

[stiff locust]

yeah it just alters the money again

then

lolll

[wintry solar]

you should hook ease_dollars for an effect like this

[vernal path]

dang, lol
aight

now i have to remind myself how to hook things
its been a minute

[knotty granite]

Why is it not scoring

[stiff locust]

you're returning x_mult = card.ability.xmult when that doesnt exist

it should be card.ability,extra.xmult

everything else seems fine

[knotty granite]

thanks

[wintry solar]

apart from you are comparing every joker to a prototype object so this will debuff itself

[knotty granite]

yes

how to not debuff self

[wintry solar]

change if G.jokers.cards[i] ~= self then to if G.jokers.cards[i] ~= card then

you can also remove the first return that you have

and you have a check for a global joker_to_debuff value before you actually create that

[knotty granite]

thats intentional

[wintry solar]

well you also never set that global value

so that code literally does nothing

[knotty granite]

ok

[stiff locust]

i delayed it to first_hand_drawn and it still didn't bring the play/discard buttons up

im wondering if its a good idea to manually set the state to the next one

[wintry solar]

what does your code look like?

it works fine for me on setting blind

there's just some jank with the hand area being visible

[stiff locust]

we fixed that by replacing the redeem line for use_card stuff

[wintry solar]

let me try that

that works fine too

[stiff locust]

what

how

what did you do

[wintry solar]

there is probably some stuff in here that is unnecessary with use card I would guess

[stiff locust]

yeah im very confused

[wintry solar]

I'm not doing anything with states though which I imagine is what causes your issues?

[stiff locust]

you have some extra stuff that doesnt seem super impactful (like voucher card add to deck) and the code for it being specific vouchers(?), where this one does random voucher, but outside that and the part with prev_state from before (which is now commented out and didnt solve it) i guess the events are different?

_delay is an argument my function puts in ive only ever used 0.8 for it though

i would think putting the whole function in an event is the same as calling the function in an event but i could be wrong on that

and your juice_card_until stuff, and whatever juice_hooligan does

[wintry solar]

oh yeah our events are totally different

your entire thing is an external function in an event?

[stiff locust]

it is an external function, but the function is called exclusively in events

[wintry solar]

can you show that?

[stiff locust]

its probably blockable and blocking i will try it without those

[wintry solar]

uhhh

you are nesting contexts?

[stiff locust]

oh thats leftover code its not supposed to have setting_blind in there

i was trying to delay vouchers called during setting_blind to first_hand_drawn to fix it

there used to be more code with that its just leftover

[vernal path]

in this hook, how could I cause the jokers to message that they added a money?

local ease_dollars_ref = ease_dollars
function ease_dollars(mod, instant)
  if mod > 0 and next(SMODS.find_card("j_paperback_coin_collection")) then
    for _, c in ipairs(SMODS.find_card("j_paperback_coin_collection")) do
      mod = mod + c.ability.extra.dollars
    end
  end
  return ease_dollars_ref(mod, instant)
end```

[wintry solar]

SMODS.calculate_effect({message = 'lol money'}, c)

[vernal path]

Ah, that makes sense
danke

[stiff locust]

it doesnt do that anymore, but the same issue still happens

i hope its not a handy speedup thing

(The overall plan for this joker is to buy an uncommon card virtually in a blind, but this code should just make an uncommon card for a big blind

and it doesn't)

[wintry solar]

I would definitely check this

[next timber]

how would i make a joker destroy the last played hand of a round?

[stiff locust]

its not handy speed, i disabled it same issue shows up

[stiff locust]

if context.after and G.GAME.chips >= G.GAME.blind_chips then
smods.destroy_cards(G.play.cards, nil, true)
end

something like this, but i dont remember the exact terms for these things or if it needs to be in an event or not

[frosty rampart]

G.GAME.chips isn't updated by the time of context.after iirc
but i think ...and (G.GAME.chips + SMODS.calculate_round_score()) >= G.GAME.blind_chips should account for that

[unkempt bronze]

(help pls?)

[frosty rampart]

context.setting_big_blind isn't a thing
just use context.setting_blind, and then you can check context.blind to see if it's a big blind (i dunno how off the top of my head, but i'm sure you can figure it out :3)

context.blind:get_type() == "Big"

oh

why is that the id

[unkempt bronze]

cuz yes

[slim ferry]

Amazing mod id

[stiff locust]

dude

im so regretting making curator use mod IDs now

mfs gotta remember a 14 digit code to get your stuff

[shell timber]

also your display name can have spaces

[slim ferry]

you should use display name probably

[unkempt bronze]

Well, that's not the point

[stiff locust]

display name could have overlaps though

i used IDs cause they are unique but

i wasnt really considering the guy who made the mod ID 240 billion

[unkempt bronze]

this is

[unkempt bronze]

or actually this

[shell timber]

can you not debug your own code ?

[unkempt bronze]

Actually, lemme heck

H E C K

anyway

[stiff locust]

im guessing it might just be because you used pairs with g.playing_cards which is an indexed list so it should use ipairs?

if you use the wrong one the loop just doesnt run

but also yeah you should debug your own stuff

[slim ferry]

That is not how it works

[unkempt bronze]

Oh, wait, had an extra end

[stiff locust]

ok but it is, ive had this issue so many times

[slim ferry]

Pairs is just not ordered but goes over all indexes that exist

[shell timber]

ipairs doesnt work if its not an integer indexed table but pairs always works

[slim ferry]

Ipairs only goes over integer indexes starting at 1 and ending at the first nil

[stiff locust]

it makes sense but grumble

i wish it would say something instead of just not running

[frosty rampart]

it's because tables can have both
you could have a table like this

{ 1 = "x", 2 = "y", func = "placeholder" }

and you could run ipairs on it to just iterate over the first two entries or pairs to iterate over all of them

you should still use ipairs when possible because pairs doesn't guarantee that integer-indexed tables will be iterated over in order

[stiff locust]

this feels like forbidden knowledge that i can use for some fucked up shit somehow

but i cant come up with any fucked up shit to do with it

[unkempt bronze]

Okay, now it isn't crashing the game, but nothing

no impact

SMODS.Joker {

        end
        for k, v in pairs(suits) do
                   table.insert(suits2, {suit = k, count = v})
        end
        table.sort(suits2, function(a,b) return a.count < b.count end)
        card.ability.extra.target_suit = suits2[#suits2-1]
        end -- if there is exactly 1 suit with second-most frequency then we have a target
        if card.ability.extra.target_suit ~= nil and context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_suit(card.ability.extra.target_suit) then
            return {

            card.ability.extra.target_suit = nil
        end
    end
}```
no luck, no repetitions

KNow the issue: it isn't tablizing the suits

                print("testing_table")
                   table.insert(suits2, {suit = k, count = v})
            end```
Somewhere in this chunk of code is the main issue

[wooden orbit]

how would i change an joker's atlas to a different one

in game

[frosty rampart]

in this code snippet, you switched it to ipairs, but the suits table isn't integer-indexed so it just skips the for loop entirely

[frosty rampart]

this is not a very feasible task, you should have all the sprites for the joker on the same atlas and just change the position in-game

[sturdy compass]

You would change card.children.center.atlas to G.ASSET_ATLAS['atlas_key']

Sorry Meta lol

[frosty rampart]

oh does that immediately update the sprite?

[unkempt bronze]

lemme check that

[sturdy compass]

I'm not sure but would not be surprised if it does since the game draws every update

[wooden orbit]

thank you

[frosty rampart]

i don't think it would, because the sprite object for the card already initialized with the atlas that the card originally set
lemme go test tho

[sturdy compass]

Also if you need to change the sprite's position you would do card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = number, y = number})

[red flower]

card.children.center:reset() should

[unkempt bronze]

Hm. Okay, that part seems to work, but still no dice

[frosty rampart]

oh huh it did switch immediately
i have been reinformed :)

[sturdy compass]

Thank you ArtBox development for making me learn a lot about how this game does sprite drawing lmfao

i placed the destroy_cards in an event because it wasnt displaying correctly without it, but this seems to have created ghost cards

[unkempt bronze]

            return {
                  repetitions = 1
             }
        end```
This isn't activating

[unkempt bronze]

help?

[next timber]

ok im confused why tf does this make ghost cards

[unkempt bronze]

Think I'm figuring it out: print(card.ability.extra.target_suit) is printing a suit and a value

I just wanted the suit

[red flower]

this might be after the cards are discarded in timing

[unkempt bronze]

That and it's not sorting the list by value

[red flower]

try context.destroy_cards

[sturdy compass]

I think it's the event that's messing things up tbh

[next timber]

is context.destroy_cards late enough for me to be able to grab the score

[next timber]

without the event it visually destroys them before theyre scored

they still score but it looks jank

[sturdy compass]

Ah nvm then

[unkempt bronze]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "szymii",
    atlas = "My_Way_and_The_Highway",
    blueprint_compat = false,
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 4,
    pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
    config = {extra = {target_suit = nil}},
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and not context.blueprint then
            local suits, suits2 = {}, {}
            for k, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
                suits[v.base.suit] = (suits[v.base.suit] or 0) + 1
            end
            for k, v in pairs(suits) do
                   table.insert(suits2, {suit = k, count = v})
            end
            table.sort(suits2, function(a,b) return a.count < b.count end)
            card.ability.extra.target_suit = suits2[#suits2-1]
        end
        if card.ability.extra.target_suit ~= nil and context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_suit(card.ability.extra.target_suit) then
            return {
                  repetitions = 1
             }
        end
        if context.end_of_round and not context.game_over and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.target_suit = nil
        end
    end
}```
sets card.ability.extra.target_suit to a table of two values, messing up the last part

[frosty rampart]

it's literally the table.insert line you have
like that is actively intentionally what you are doing

you are inserting a table into the table

[next timber]

if i want to only destroy scoring cards i can just do remove = (context.destroy_card == context.destroying_card) right

[unkempt bronze]

I don;t wanna insert a table into a suit check

[frosty rampart]

so access the suit in the inner table when you're setting target_suit

card.ability.extra.target_suit = suits2[#suits2 - 1].suit

[red flower]

or just use context.destroying_card and return true

[next timber]

true lol

ok yeah its working as expected now

sick

[unkempt bronze]

activating on hearts now, not spades

[next timber]

now i gotta go make forever weed brownie incompatible with perishable lmao

[unkempt bronze]

(have spades as the lower suit to test)

Wait, it seems to work, hold on

Okay, it does work as expected barring ties

Now every card in my mod so far is successfully coded!

the first... dozen...

Least I know I don't have to worry about them as much code-wise

Honestly, love a funky interaction I coded in to one of the cards

Trust me, you find it, you'll love it

[knotty granite]

How would one make cards act as if they are a different rank?

[primal robin]

Thats complicated

[knotty granite]

why is it that everything I want to do is complicated or impossible

[sturdy compass]

Another quantum ranks question to add to the pile

[daring fern]

You mean only that rank or that along with it's original rank?

[knotty granite]

which one is easier

[frosty rampart]

completely replacing the rank, not counting as both

[knotty granite]

like without replacing the card or changing the card

[daring fern]

Yes, you would hook Card:get_id

[knotty granite]

wdym

[frosty rampart]

the function Card:get_id is how everything in the game checks for rank
if you hook that, you can add logic that says "if the card is normally rank X but you have this joker, return rank Y instead"

[knotty granite]

can you return 2 ranks that are both different from the original?

[frosty rampart]

no, as i just said, making a card count as more than one rank at once is the trickier option

[knotty granite]

ok

[broken rivet]

quantum ranks 😃

[lament agate]

is there any ways to remove the rarity badges?

[faint yacht]

In function G.UIDEF.card_h_popup(card), if AUT.card_type == 'Joker' or (AUT.badges and AUT.badges.force_rarity) then card_type = SMODS.Rarity:get_rarity_badge(card.config.center.rarity) end line is most likely you need to influence, maybe?

Or just do the replacement with set_card_type_badge function in definition of the Joker?

[subtle hawk]

@willow flower
I think vremade doesn't have atlases so check in the smods example mods I guess
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods

[red flower]

it does have an example in the faq

[subtle hawk]

Ouh

[bold gyro]

i'm trying to make an edition that allows playing cards to create a tarot card at the end of round whilst held in hand, but for some reason this happens twice (the joker part is fine though). how should i fix this? (on smods 1.0.0-beta-1016c)

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if ((context.playing_card_end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.hand)
    or (context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and not context.blueprint)) 
    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 = 'Tarot',
                    key_append = 'bisexual'
                }
                G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
                return true
            end
        }))
        return { message = localize('k_plus_tarot'), colour = G.C.PURPLE }
    end
end,

[frosty rampart]

i think you need to add context.main_eval to the part of the condition for the edition being on a joker
context.playing_card_end_of_round is just a secondary flag that's part of context.end_of_round so the joker condition is actually catching the edition on playing cards as well

[bold gyro]

ah alright, ty! (eta: to confirm, this fixed the issue!)

[lament agate]

somehow it doesnt reset

[daring fern]

context.ending_shop doesn't happen at the same time as context.buying_card or context.open_booster

[lament agate]

ah shit, what do i do then

[daring fern]

If "skipping a shop" means ending the shop without purchasing anything you would have to set a flag on context.buying_card then check that the flag isn't set.

[lament agate]

thanks

does adding Joker to your slot using DPlus trigger the add to deck?

[granite raptor]

any reason why alt+f5 suddenly stopped working? @_@

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

i think F5 only works

[granite raptor]

no such luck sadly, i have to alt f4 and boot up bala again when i make changes

[lament agate]

you're on laptop?

[granite raptor]

correct

[lament agate]

Fn + F5

[granite raptor]

that's bound to brightness down, i don't have an fn lock or anything enabled since pressing f5 by itself doesn't turn the brightness down

[daring fern]

Try eval SMODS.restart_game() in the DebugPlus console.

[granite raptor]

that worked. is there a reason why alt+f5 isn't running this?

[vernal path]

Trying to make this code work:

    if context.remove_playing_cards then
      local cards_to_destroy = {}
      local count = math.min(#context.removed, #G.playing_cards)
      for i = 1, count, 1 do
        cards_to_destroy[i] = pseudorandom_element(G.playing_cards, "jester")
      end
      SMODS.destroy_cards(cards_to_destroy)
      return {
        message = "killed :)"
      }
    end```
At present, obviously its making an infinite loop
but what should I hook to not do this? `Card:remove()` is I think too late in the loop to do it

[light heron]

assuming that jester is a joker you need your prefix and a joker prefix on your 5th line, j_[prefix]_jester

[vernal path]

thats
a pseudorandom seed

I know what I'm doing in that regard, yeah

[slim ferry]

You should set a flag in G for the joker before running SMODS.destroy_cards, and the remove it immediately after. Then just check if that flag isnt set before triggering the joker

[vernal path]

hm, yeah that may work, i'll see if i can give it a shot

[vernal path]

works, thanks!

[simple hound]

hey guys i was wondering how i could create ui in balatro, what i want at the moment is a button that can be spawned in that runs a function when pressed, the ui page in steamodded is a little convoluted so i am asking for help

[knotty granite]

can you link me to vanilla remade

[red flower]

https://github.nh6574.com/vanillaremade

[knotty granite]

thanks

set = 'vremade_Tarot', what does this do for the tarot card

[red flower]

if you want to create a normal Tarot it should be set = "Tarot"

vremade uses a custom type as an example

[knotty granite]

what if you want to create a spectral

nvm

I misunderstood

do you need an atlas for tarot cards because the vannila remade doesn't show one

[gilded blaze]

modded consumable cards without an atlas default to "Tarots"

[wanton jolt]

yes

all textures require an atlas

blind textures require an animation atlas

[knotty granite]

thats what I thought

[limber aspen]

How do I set current chips and mult like plasma effect does?

I tried to copy the flint effect but chips seem to not work

(I set hand_chips and mult)

[knotty granite]

I can't find my tarot card

also this happens

[limber aspen]

This is a problem with loc_txt or localization file

And with atlas if you added one

[red flower]

can i see the code

[limber aspen]

calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.main_scoring then return { func = function() hand_chips, mult = math.ceil(math.sqrt(hand_chips * mult)), math.floor(math.sqrt(hand_chips * mult)) update_hand_text({sound = 'gong', modded = true}, {chips = chips, mult = mult}) return true end, } end end

[limber aspen]

Its supposed to balance chips and mult but keep the score (for example 100 x 1 to 10 x 10)

[red flower]

try hand_chips, mult = mod_chips(math.ceil(math.sqrt(hand_chips * mult))), mod_mult(math.floor(math.sqrt(hand_chips * mult)))

[gilded blaze]

SMODS' Scoring Calculation API takes over hand_chips and mult as scoring parameters, so modifying those globals directly no longer has an effect

the modification process is patched into mod_chips and mod_mult, so use those on the globals

[limber aspen]

Yeah it works, thanks

[wild patrol]

Is there a way to add like a round counter to the description of a joker

Or is that only for mults and chips

[hushed field]

You mean like Loyalty Card?

[wild patrol]

Yeah

I probably just make a copy of it in joker forge see how it's done

looks like it uses remaning

I can probably make it work

[wooden orbit]

how would i get a random edition

?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#edition

[wild patrol]

        if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main  then
            if to_big((card.ability.extra.Remaining or 0)) <= to_big(0) then
                card.ability.extra.Remaining = 5
                  play_sound("ttv_bomb_explosion", 1.0, 0.7)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        trigger = 'after',
                        func = function()
                            if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then 
                                G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER
                                G.STATE_COMPLETE = false
                            end
                        end
                    }))
                else
                    if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval then
                    card.ability.extra.Remaining = math.max(0, (card.ability.extra.Remaining) - 1)
                end
            end
        end
    end
}```

simple but effective

well guess I spot too soon doesn't work

[wild patrol]

it doens't wanna work with end of round context

now doesn't work at all

[final jewel]

I got this crash loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center) local mult = 1 if G.GAME and G.GAME.dollars and G.GAME.dollars:to_number() < 0 then --This is line 1202 mult = 1 + math.abs(G.GAME.dollars:to_number()) * center.ability.extra.mult end return{vars = {center.ability.extra.mult, mult}} end, its weird

[daring fern]

to_big(G.GAME.dollars) < to_big(0)

[final jewel]

thx

[white hull]

How would I go about making standard packs include negative playing cards? Do I need to patch some code where the playing cards in packs decide their editions?

[red flower]

i would patch or hook poll_edition yeah, it's in smods/src/game_object.lua

but negative cards are very very powerful so consider carefully if that's what you want

[white hull]

i mean stuff like hone doesn't affect negative odds right?

so if they're always even rarer than polychrome i think that's fine

[white hull]

patch the function itself? i was thinking just patching some code where the standard pack calls it to have it include negatives in the poll

[red flower]

sorry i meant i would patch that line or hook poll_edition

[white hull]

i'm not sure how hooking would help. poll_edition isn't aware of what calls it, right?

[red flower]

it is because of the seed

[white hull]

unless you mean like make it include negative in the poll always, which sounds like a bad idea

ohh

hmm

[red flower]

hooking is better so you dont have any conflicts but patching is easier

[white hull]

so i'd need to hook it before it runs and do something like "if seed is whatever the standard pack is then no_neg = false"?

[red flower]

yes

[white hull]

i see

i'll try

[tight pumice]

How can I make something held in hand give x chips? Tried to return h_x_chips but it isn’t triggering

[red flower]

as an enhancement of sorts or as a hiker effect

[tight pumice]

Enhancement, like steel

[red flower]

return xchips in context.main_scoring

[slim ferry]

for some reason my game just randomly hard crashes after shop cards are created? i have genuinely no idea what could cause this since nothing ive done recently that could cause it as far as i know

[tight pumice]

I thought that would trigger it on scoring

[red flower]

im stupid nvm im sleepy

or am i

[white hull]

there's two of them now, what's the difference?

[red flower]

idk what game dump is

[white hull]

i guess it's new with 0.9.0

[red flower]

no im not

[red flower]

context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.hand

[tight pumice]

Interesting okay

[red flower]

also h_x_chips should work from what im seeing

[white hull]

maybe h_xchips?

[red flower]

no h_x_chips

[tight pumice]

Tried this

(There's a then off screen for the if statement i promise)

[slim ferry]

you should either return x_chips or have h_x_chips in the config

h_x_chips isnt a valid return value

[tight pumice]

I thought it was

[slim ferry]

thats not what that means

[red flower]

yeah thats for the config

[slim ferry]

read the text above

[tight pumice]

Is there a spot to see valid returns

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions#step-3-returning-effects

• some calculations below have their own returns specified in the corresponding docs

[tight pumice]

Gotcha thanks

Cool that all worked

Slowly but surely I'm just collecting bookmarks on many resources so I can eventually have all of the information in the world about balatro modding and then I can just read things to fix things

[tidal hemlock]

oh god this is gonna get confusing, copper is already an enhancement in bunco

[slim ferry]

consider the following: 🤷

[white hull]

This should be on the wiki somewhere

[random basin]

anyone know how to make tags cause a retrigger? tried looking at the vanillaremade wiki but all of the examples use card.abillity.extra.repititions

    key = "activetag",
    pos = {
        x = 0,
        y = 0
    },
    config = {
        extra = {
            repetitions = 1
        }
    },
    apply = function(self, tag, context)
        if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
            tag:yep('+', G.C.GREEN, function()
                return true
            end)
            tag.triggered = true
            return {
                repetitions = tag.ability.extra.repetitions
            }
        end
    end
}

current version never expends the tag

[slim ferry]

tags do not use usual contexts

you need to patch to allow this

(i think)

[random basin]

rip

[red flower]

i dont think this is something you can do with tags without hooking or patching some other stuff yeah

tag calculate when

you could also use mod calculate probably

[faint yacht]

:)

[random basin]

I could also instantiate a joker that blows itself up after use

that might be better than patching imo

[red flower]

i would use mod calculate in that case

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

[random basin]

that's smart

[slim ferry]

update, it appears to just happen whenever a card in the shop finishes materializing, which is strange because i do literally nothing with that

[red flower]

does it crash without a log

[slim ferry]

yes

it hard crashed

[red flower]

hmm

[random basin]

like make the tag itself do nothing but calculate detects the tag and expends it?

[slim ferry]

and even commenting out my most recent addition doesnt fix it

[red flower]

yes

[slim ferry]

and i have no clue what could be causing this

[stiff locust]

how do I change the sprite of an individual card to a different position on the sprite sheet

i only remember how to do it globally for every version of the card which is not what i want right now

[faint yacht]

Playing card or Joker/Consumeable/etc?

[random basin]

does SMODS.find_card work for tags?

[slim ferry]

no

tags arent cards

[random basin]

also don't know what function to run to force the tag to trigger from calculate

[stiff locust]

joker

[slim ferry]

iterate over G.GAME.tags and retrigger once for each copy of the tag you find

[faint yacht]

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

Changing soul_pos is card.children.floating_sprite:set_sprite_pos({x = ?, y = ?}) instead.

[random basin]

can't seem to call SMODS.Add_Card in any tag contexts

[slim ferry]

code?

[random basin]

never mind messed up the item name

[slim ferry]

bump

[daring fern]

Code?

[slim ferry]

i dont even know what specific code could be causing this, but this is all the hooks i have relating to card creation. the crash just happens when any card finishes materializing in the shop, even without anything existing beyond the base game state

[faint yacht]

set_edition function also calls set_cost. Perhaps you got an infinite loop.

[limber aspen]

How do I replace font of joker descriptions? I tried to hook generate_card_ui but i don't know how to convert SMODS.Font into valid replacement for ui_return.main[1][1].config.font

[red flower]

should be ui_return.main[1][1].config.font = "[modprefix]_fontkey" iirc

assuming thats the correct node of course

[fervent rampart]

Making my first mod, not finding much documentation on how to do anything. I have made a functional joker that works after leaving the shop but I want it to stop functioning if it is the only joker I have. The line I have for that is.
if context.ending_shop and next(g.jokers.cards ~= context.minus) then
How far off am I? Also the card's key is "minus" for context.

[limber aspen]

ui_return.main[1][1].config.font is a table, replacing it with text crashes the game because it can't index font.FONT

[limber aspen]

#G.jokers.cards is amound of jokers you have

[fervent rampart]

oh, so if I just have it check if I have more than 1 joker, that'll sovle this

[frosty rampart]

try ui_return.main[1][1].config.font = SMODS.Fonts.modprefix_fontkey i think

[limber aspen]

Thanks!

[fervent rampart]

And the G being capital matters too. I am so confused why it uses the big G here and not elsewhere. It doesnt quite solve my issue in the rare case I have two of this same joker, but it's 95% more stable now. Thank you!

[faint yacht]

G is a global.

[frosty rampart]

to check if all your jokers are that specific joker, check if #G.jokers.cards == #SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_jokerkey")
SMODS.find_card returns a table containing all the copies of the joker (or any other card) you're looking for

[fervent rampart]

Well damn that's perfect! Also looks like I was on the right track, but that code is a lot longer than I expected. Thank you very much! I am now crash-free!

[daring fern]

‎

[open moth]

where do I put the code that detects it?

I mean, if I put it inside of an SMODS.Joker object, it will only trigger when you have the joker.

[red flower]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[karmic creek]

its my money and i need cash now

[red flower]

theyre getting lazy now only one channel

[stoic void]

I put a rental sticker on the bots

its costing them money, they dont have the budget to do more channels

[frosty rampart]

use the global mod calculate

[open moth]

so ehm... like this?

(i made some typos but you understand the idea)

[frosty rampart]

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

[open moth]

aaaaah

ok

wait

there is no more card value

[red flower]

well it's not a card is a mod

[open moth]

true.

[austere edge]

i am attempting to alter a mod for personal use and i want to make a joker compatible with blueprint and brainstorm. i changed this blueprint_compat = true, from false to true and in game it says compatible in the tooltip but it doesnt actually copy the effect is there anything im missing?

[red flower]

that's just a value for the ui yes

the actual effect should have a not context.blueprint somewhere you need to get rid of

(or it has an effect bp cant copy)

[mystic river]

smods recently updated so that setting blueprint incompatibility will actually stop copying

that said most jokers were programmed before this change so most likely yes you will still need to fix their calculate function to work with blueprint

[austere edge]

i am trying to modify this joker to work with brainstorm so your amount of brainstorms double every round but it just creates 4 brainstorms always does anybody know why this is? ```lua
SMODS.Joker({
key = "rustyprinter",
atlas = "Jokers",
rarity = "crv_p",
cost = 10,
unlocked = true,
discovered = false,
blueprint_compat = true,
pos = {
x = 1,
y = 0,
},
config = {

[wooden orbit]

how do you make an joker invisible

[austere edge]

i dont know much but maybe referencing an empty PNG

[daring fern]

card.states.visible = false

[wooden orbit]

thanks

It gains Mult and indicates mult gain, but it doesnt apply said xmult at the end of the round

y 😭

[frosty rampart]

you're not closing the if context.pseudorandom_result early enough, so the joker_main part is inside the pseudorandom_result part. and those two contexts never run at the same time

[viscid talon]

o

how do i fix that then

nvm figured it out

[next timber]

how do i stop SMODS.add_card from creating cards incompatible with the sticker its applying? i tried removing force_stickers = true but it just doesn't seem to apply the sticker to any card anymore

this is for a tag that spawns a perishable legendary

[red flower]

i dont think thats a feature

[next timber]

well that seems like an oversight

is there a way to add a blacklist to the add_card so i can just stop it from spawning the non-compatible ones myself

[wooden orbit]

you can hook it

local ref = SMODS.add_card
function SMODS.add_card(...)
ref(...)

something like that

[white hull]

How can I get if a card is a playing card? Do I need to check that set is "Default", "Base", or "Enhanced", or is there a cleaner way?

[frosty rampart]

check if card.playing_card exists

[white hull]

ooh

is that a bool or? just curious

[frosty rampart]

it's a number, i think it corresponds to the order all the cards appear in the full deck view

but it only exists on playing cards

[white hull]

interesting

[ashen parrot]

are the values held in the G.hand table pointers to cards?

trying to do this but it doesnt seem to be returning a valid index

[red flower]

G.hand.cards

[ashen parrot]

ah

i knew something looked off

thats why the other check earlier worked

how would I store a table between different contexts of a calculate function?

or i guess

ah wait i could set it when playing a hand

[white hull]

you can store it in config extra

Where can I find loc_vars for vanilla cards?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[white hull]

merci

[white hull]

How about consumables?

I'm trying to add the "Removes Negative from copy" to some cards and I can't find where Ankh does it

I did find DNA

[vernal path]

am I stupit
does #G.GAME.hand_usage not count unique hands?

[daring fern]

Yes, because items in that table are indexed with strings.

[vernal path]

i mean shouldn't # just give the number of elements in a table?

Or am I misunderstanding lua?

[knotty granite]

Is the prefix t right afor tarots?

[vernal path]

Oh, i see
# only counts a sequence, everything else is undefined

[knotty granite]

Is this right in general

[wind steppe]

no the prefix for any consumable is c

doesnt matter if its tarots or planets or spectrals or anything else

[knotty granite]

ok thanks

why won't my card show up

[stoic void]

what is the code for your card?

[stoic void]

you need

atlas = "deity"

[knotty granite]

ok

[dapper sun]

how do i get what area a card is in

[daring fern]

card.area

[dapper sun]

ty

[slim ferry]

how can i check if a card is discovered?

wait nvm

ive literally checked this before

[dapper sun]

how do i check if a card is unscoring? vanillaremade wiki says i just card.area == "unscored" but it isn't working

[knotty granite]

what do I check if its the end o9f the round

[dapper sun]

context.end_of_round

[slim ferry]

that only works for context.cardarea == "unscored", card.area will always be a CardArea object

[dapper sun]

ah

how do i check it then

[slim ferry]

in what context is this

[dapper sun]

context.before

[slim ferry]

and is this on an enhancement or something else

[dapper sun]

blind

[slim ferry]

then do not SMODS.in_scoring(card, context.scoring_hand) to check for unscoring

[dapper sun]

ty

i tried adding if not SMODS.in_scoring(v, context.scoring_hand) then and now all the cards are scoring

so that's definitely wrong

[red flower]

what are you trying to do

[dapper sun]

check if a card is unscoring

[red flower]

yes i read the conversation

for what reason

[dapper sun]

to do something to unscoring cards during context.before

[red flower]

then that code whould work yes

[dapper sun]

it isn't

it's just making the cards score

[red flower]

well thats not what the function does so thats weird, thats why i asked for details

[dapper sun]

for a bit more context, i'm making a blindside joker thingy (which is essentially just a blind)

but that shouldn't affect anything

since i'm pretty sure blindside handles playing blinds as just playing cards

calculate = function(self, blind, context)
    if context.before and not blind.disabled then
        local triggered = false
        for i,v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
            if not SMODS.in_scoring(v, context.scoring_hand) then
                -- even without anything inside the if statement, its presence makes all played cards score
                
                --[[v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_bld_queen, nil, true)
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        v:juice_up()
                        return true
                    end
                }))
                triggered = true --]]
            end
        end
        
        if triggered then
            return {
                message = localize("elle_suggestion"),
                colour = G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.elle
            }
        end
    end
end```

i checked by commenting the if out, and it's definitely what's causing cards to get scored

[red flower]

it doesnt do that for me

make sure there isnt another mod changing it

or you can just copy the function code its just a loop

[dapper sun]

only mods enabled are my mod and blindside

and since i'm doing crossmod for blindside i can't just disable blindside

[knotty granite]

it creates a lot of negative tags

[daring fern]

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[knotty granite]

thanks

[dapper sun]

okay i checked and blindside doesn't seem to mess with the function

[dapper sun]

i'll just do this i think

[dapper sun]

okay why is this not working

for i,v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
    -- unscoring check, bc SMODS.in_scoring isn't acting right
    local unscoring = true
    for _, _card in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        if card == v then unscoring = false break end
    end
    
    if unscoring then```

[red flower]

is it not setting unscoring correctly?

[dapper sun]

nope

it's staying true

[red flower]

ah you wrote card instead of _card

[dapper sun]

a

that'd do it 😭

                        shakeBlind()
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end,
}

When I play the hand, the face card becomes a blank white because the game hides that before actually appling the enhancement fsr. Anyone know how to fix this?

[next timber]

how come SMODS.find_card("Showman") isn't accurately returning when i have showman
find_joker("Showman") works fine so i can just use that ig, does SMODS.find_card just not like the vanilla jokers

[slim ferry]

because find_joker works based on card.ability.name, while SMODS.find_card checks card.config.center.key

so it should be SMODS.find_card("j_ring_master")

[white hull]

Is there a list of valid context.types for tags?

[red flower]

not that i remember

but they should be all in vanillaremade's tags file

[white hull]

I see

[next timber]

its called ring_master internally? you learn something new dumb about this games code every day ig

[slim ferry]

at least its not a misspelling

selzer and gluttenous and heirophant

[white hull]

selzer ❤️

[next timber]

ok this isnt working theres gotta be a better way of doing this

[slim ferry]

what is the goal here

[next timber]

spawn a random legendary that can be perishable with perishable

i have a legendary that completely breaks with perishable but add_card doesnt seem to have an easy way to exclud that

[slim ferry]

local pool = get_current_pool("Joker", nil, true) --i think?
for k, v in ipairs(pool) do
    if v ~= "UNAVAILABLE" and G.P_CENTERS[v] and G.P_CENTERS[v].perishable_compat == false then
        pool[k] = "UNAVAILABLE"
    end
end
local selected_joker = pseudorandom_element(pool, seed)

should work

[next timber]

and what would the easiest way be here to make it only legendaries

[daring fern]

No, because it could choose UNAVAILABLE

[next timber]

also that yeah

[slim ferry]

right

[slim ferry]

it should already do that

since legendary is put as true here

[next timber]

oh ok

so could i just replace the G.P_JOKER_RARITY_POOLS[4] in my original code with get_current_pool("Joker",nil,true) and that would work

[slim ferry]

i think so

[next timber]

ok neat

[slim ferry]

just change the way that the random key is chosen

[next timber]

whats wrong with pseudorandom_element

[slim ferry]

it would still be able to choose UNAVAILABLE

so you check if there are any available options first and use j_joker if there arent any

and if there are then

do a while loop after the first pseudorandom element until the key isnt UNAVAILABLE

[knotty granite]

How do you make the next joker in the shop negative

[next timber]

ok this doesnt work i gave myself 15 copies of the tag and managed to get 3 whole copies of Cheese Sandwich

my mod adds 15 legends

[dapper sun]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/9b0f346ee534f855416100b316e8eccfcb314c77/src/tags.lua#L68

[knotty granite]

I did not really understand it and it felt like it was dependent on being a tag

[unreal ibex]

hey, im trying to make a joker that debuffs all of the joker to its left

someone knows how to do that perchance ?

[next timber]

ok so i think whats happening is that the pool doesn't update by the time the next tag has been redeemed. uhhhhhhh i have literally no clue how to fix this

[knotty granite]

How do you check if you are at a store

[next timber]

oh im being stupid

[frosty rampart]

if G.STATE == G.STATES.SHOP

[next timber]

i just need to put it inside the tag:yep event lmao

how do you get the properties of a joker from its key again? i forgor

[knotty granite]

What do I do to make this work

[wind steppe]

what are you trying to do

[next timber]

i assune they want the first card of every shop to he negative

[red flower]

theres a new context for it

[next timber]

i feel like im stupid for forgetting this but i genuinely just cant rember how to do this lol

[wind steppe]

wdym by "properties"?

if you mean the center should be G.P_CENTERS[key]

[knotty granite]

yes

[next timber]

thats it thx

[wind steppe]

context.starting_shop and make G.shop_jokers[1] negative

this could also make consumables negative though so if thats not intended the solutions a bit more complex

[knotty granite]

thats fine

[grizzled tide]

hey! could someone check over my code to see if "jingled_belled" applies only when the card is force selected and isn't accidently saved between rounds:

 calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.hand_drawn then
            local any_forced = nil
            for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                if playing_card.ability.forced_selection then
                    playing_card.ability.joker_belled = true
                    any_forced = true
                end
            end
            if not any_forced then
                G.hand:unhighlight_all()
                local forced_card = pseudorandom_element(G.hand.cards, 'lemon_jinglebell')
                forced_card.ability.forced_selection = true
                forced_card.ability.joker_belled = true
                G.hand:add_to_highlighted(forced_card)
                save_run()
            end
        end

        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card.ability.joker_belled then
            context.other_card.ability.joker_belled = false
            if context.other_card.debuff then
                return {
                    message = localize('k_debuffed'),
                    colour = G.C.RED
                }
            else
                return {
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }
            end
        end
        if context.discard and context.other_card.ability.joker_belled then
            context.other_card.ability.joker_belled = false
        end
        return nil
    end

I'm worried about end of round especially but i dont know if context.discard covers that

[daring fern]

‎

[grizzled tide]

(Discord is glitching when I try to jump to the message)

[grizzled tide]

for some reason, its not sending a message "TEST" when it should, is G.play non existent for context,post_joker or is there a different issue

[frosty rampart]

ipairs(G.play.cards)

G.play is a bunch of stuff, none of which is integer indexed

so it just skips the loop lol

[grizzled tide]

im so dumb, thank you 😭

oh

but

it shouldnt interfer with the final return no?

[frosty rampart]

not sure about that tbh

[grizzled tide]

yeah after trying that it still didnt send a message

it also didnt return with context.after so im unsure whats the issue

[daring fern]

context.post_joker and context.cardarea == G.play don't happen at the same time.

[grizzled tide]

well thats very annoying

maybe im going about this wrong

how would you guys go about implementing a joker which force selects a card and makes the selected card give x3 mult when played

when i would save the card itself in a variable it would be lost when reloading, checking .forced_selection doesn't work because its removed once played, and making a temporary variable seems to create alot of edge cases

thinking about it, id imagine another card destroying this joker using the last method could be problematic

[lusty marten]

i have a problem , i create a sticker named Song sticker , but it display ERROR , how can i fix that

[subtle hawk]

Add label to your sticker

Im pretty sure the parameter IS label

Or it isn't wait

[elder rune]

Pretty sure you gotta put something under Dictionary in localization or something like that

[subtle hawk]

Okaaay I checked, I think you need to put the name of your sticker in misc = { labels = { sticker_key = "sticker_name" } }

Actually check the smods wiki to see how the localization files are organized and shit

Also what the fuck is ^1000 bruh 😭

[lusty marten]

idk :))) , this is m friend mod , he want me to fix it

[spiral mural]

^1000

thx also i did kinda figure itd be buggy from the fact it was made in jokerforge

[red flower]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[open moth]

I want to make a joker win xmult every time a joker retriggers but this doens't work, why?

[open aspen]

i get this crash, when is it safe to access game

tbh nvm

ill make it a lovely patch

[red flower]

post_trigger probably doesn't get retriggers

[open moth]

doesnt activate when this does

either when scaling or scoring

I also tested with the base joker

[open aspen]

ok why do my lovely patches not work

this seems simple enough but it isnt workin

[bold sleet]

Check the lovely dump, maybe?

To see if your patch is in there, and if's not, probably patch the line you see.

[red flower]

do you have post_trigger enabled?

[open aspen]

interesting

it is in there

but it doesnt seem effective

[open moth]

how do you enable it?

[bold sleet]

Then there is little I can help you with.

I lack any context to help you any further.

[open aspen]

indeed

[red flower]

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

[open aspen]

ofc, here the point is simply to prevent blue stake from taking a discard

but it seems to be doing it regardless of the patch

[bold sleet]

Can't you SMODS.take_ownership or something like that?

[open aspen]

oh wait what the fuck

it is workng

[bold sleet]

:3

[open aspen]

now to see why the other 2 patches arent

[open moth]

thanks!

[open aspen]

ok for the latter two im fairly certain im not targeting them right in some way

[open moth]

how could I make animations play at the same time instead of just after?

[open aspen]

i think im not targeting this file right

[red flower]

looks correct to me

[open aspen]

ah fack

why is this not workign 😭

yea i cant figure out why it wont work for this patch

[open aspen]

i lied it wasnt lmao

i opened a run on white stake

so all the patches in my lovely.toml dont work

this is the folder structure

[red flower]

have you checked the lovely dump

[open aspen]

yes

wait

hold on i need to like reopen everything

i think maybe it was showing me an old dump

yea it was

man its confusing

it doesnt seem to work

im gonna take a crack at this tomorrow

the dump shows a change but it doesnt actually work

waitttt

im an idiot

wow this game is fucking confusing

ok im switching my strategy

is it possible to just change variables after the game starts

i tried this earlier and i just crash

because GAME doesnt exist yet

[red flower]

do you want to do it just for blue stake or for every game

[open aspen]

these are for every game

the blue stake change is whatever the main change was the hands and discards

[red flower]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[red flower]

try SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals

[open aspen]

hmm

is there an example on mods that use that

wait

is it just a function?

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/The-Mod-Object#modreset_game_globalsrun_start

[open aspen]

did it like this

but either ive misunderstood how these variables work or this approach itself isnt working right

[red flower]

you need to check for run_start

[open aspen]

i see

[red flower]

but yeah if it doesnt work then its something else

[open aspen]

liek so i suppose

[red flower]

hook Back:apply_to_run

[open aspen]

yep that worked

and as a bonus it also makes blue stake non effective

because i added a line at the top that sets discards = 4, and this function runs after stake effects are applied

(ofc i put the line before code for the deck specific effects)

ty so much N' you are a life saver

[long sun]

how do i check if the previously played poker hand is better than the currently played hand?

like, ranks higher on the Run Info page

or even, how do i get where a hand is on the Run Info page?

[wintry solar]

G.GAME.hands[handname].order

higher number is down the bottom

[long sun]

thanks ^U^

[wooden orbit]

how do i make a card unplayable?

[daring fern]

Hook G.FUNCS.can_play and check if G.hand.highlighted contains the unplayable card then do e.config.colour = G.C.UI.BACKGROUND_INACTIVE; e.config.button = nil

[wooden orbit]

thank you

you're a life saver

[stiff locust]

how do i prevent cards from spawning and is there a pool with every joker in it

[daring fern]

Hook create_card and G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker

[stiff locust]

was there not a ban cards thing in smods or smthn

[daring fern]

Do you want to stop all cards or specific cards from spawning?

[stiff locust]

i want a specific collection of cards to be the only cards that can spawn by natural means

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
    if not table.contains(collectionofcards, v.key) then
        G.GAME.banned_keys[v.key] = true
    end
end

[stiff locust]

oh awesome

much obliged

[limber aspen]

Where does run's seed gets created?

Or how to create new seed

[red flower]

search for generate_starting_seed()

[red flower]

what for

[limber aspen]

To create consumable that changes seed

[daring fern]

G.GAME.pseudorandom.seed = 'seed'
G.GAME.pseudorandom.hashed_seed = pseudohash(G.GAME.pseudorandom.seed)

[subtle hawk]

If I'm gonna make a basic "Food" pool, do I need to check if one already exists or is it fine?

Like in case of another mod including a pool of the same name

[wanton jolt]

i mean

you could just check for G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Food

and make one if it doesnt exist

for a pool?

[subtle hawk]

That's for centers, which are like Jokers, decks, enhancements etc etc

[wanton jolt]

oh ok

[queen crescent]

if not in specific challenge check

if not G.GAME.challenge == "c_modprefix_challengekey" then
-- code here
end

[slim ferry]

if multiple objecttypes exist with the same key the contents will just get merged

so depends on what you want

[subtle hawk]

So it kinda doesn't matter at all then? Cause I assume if you're adding a Food pool you'll probably will put vanilla stuff in it, and then modded jokers are added in their definition
Or am I being a dumbass

[slim ferry]

it shouldnt matter if one already exists yeah

but you should always define it if you use it in your own mod

[torpid flicker]

how would i prevent other mods from making title screen cards? there is like 8 of them in the modpack im making this mod for so you cant even see the logo

[slim ferry]

you should just use unjankify so the balatro logo doesnt do That

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1367231163025854544

[torpid flicker]

all the cards are still there

[slim ferry]

oh cant see the logo in that way

[torpid flicker]

yeah

like with unjankify i can squish them closer but that doesnt really solve the problem of every dang mod makign a card for the main menu

[slim ferry]

idk probably just destroy all but the first title screen card when the title screen loads ig?

though idk if that would work unless you always load last

[torpid flicker]

yeah. i dont exactly know how to destroy them because every mod seems to add them in a slightly diffrent way. thats pretty much exactly what ive been trying

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.title_top.cards) do
    if v ~= G.title_top.cards[1] then
        v:remove()
    end
end

[torpid flicker]

thanks!

[torpid flicker]

i implemented it like this and its not doing anything?

function Game:main_menu(change_context, ...)
    mm(self, change_context, ...)

    if self.title_top and self.title_top.cards then
        for k, v in pairs(self.title_top.cards) do
            if v ~= self.title_top.cards[1] then
                v:remove()
            end
        end
    end
end```

[wild patrol]

Trying to learn to modify the main menu how did you change the background and add the cards

Been digging through the smod and vanilla wiki like crazy for this

[torpid flicker]

i didnt. but id look at like idk yahimod or something to see how they do it. if u cant find it there look in someone elses mod

[torpid flicker]

but you usually hook the main menu function like im doing there and then do pretty much what the source code does but tweaked for your mod

[wanton jolt]

how would i prevent the destruction of a joker once using a sticker?

whether its by dagger or anything that would delete the card

[stiff locust]

hook card:start_dissolve() and if the card has the sticker just, prevent the destruction (don't finish the hook, cancelling the function call) then remove the sticker

also when you do this remember to turn card.getting_sliced to false on the card, or else it wont be able to be destroyed by dagger if it procs again since dagger ignores jokers with card.getting_sliced which is applied when it goes to destroy things

[buoyant crag]

bumping this from a while ago, still haven't found a way to hook it or manually change the handsize in the way that i want

[torpid flicker]

theres a joker from yahimod that does that lemme see if i can find it

[daring fern]

card.ability.card_limit = card.ability.card_limit + 1

[torpid flicker]

darn beat me too it

[torpid flicker]

got it to work

[granite raptor]

is it possible at all to use pseudorandom (or any of the SMODS pseudorandom functions) in a way that doesn't advance the given seed?

[wanton jolt]

thank u

[frosty rampart]

i don't know off the top of my head how it works, but i definitely know there are some modded jokers that predict the contents of booster packs, so it should be possible

[long sun]

what script is the get_flush() function in? i need to hook it

[daring fern]

Yes, you would use a function that predicts the pseudoseed of a seed.

[daring fern]

functions/misc_functions.lua

[long sun]

cheers ^^

[open moth]

how can you add an extra big blind?

as a joker effect

[sour garden]

how can i get a random suit upon joker creation? i don't know why this isn't working

[long sun]

why does adding the third hook here cause the game to crash, when starting a run?

log mentions card.ability being nil here in utils:

function SMODS.get_enhancements(card, extra_only)
    if not SMODS.optional_features.quantum_enhancements or not G.hand then
        return not extra_only and card.ability.set == 'Enhanced' and { [card.config.center.key] = true } or {} <----```

[white hull]

If I wanna change some lines in vanilla items, is it better to use take_ownership, copypaste vremade code and edit it, or do lovely patches?

Cuz with take_ownership most of the code is the same but I have to repeat all of it anyway

But I heard patches should be avoided

So

[slim ferry]

why does this still use the default message and colour

are editions just stupid

[white hull]

why not just return message and colour as normal?

[slim ferry]

returning message as normal doesnt remove the default mult message

but also i realized that i made a mistake

[daring fern]

You would always have to lovely patch because the original code will still run unless you return.

[slim ferry]

looked at the code and fixed it but also it still doesnt change anything

[daring fern]

No, mult_message should be a table.

[slim ferry]

oh okay

well neither works so whats up with that

[white hull]

I mean with take_ownership you have to replace the functions you want in their entirety, so they do return, so it's working fine for me rn. I'm just wondering if patches would be a better way

[slim ferry]

vanilla things dont have any functions though

they are just baked into existing functions

which will sitll run if the custom one doesnt return anything

[daring fern]

Yes, mult_message is not used for editions.

You would have to use remove_default_message

And then return a message normally.

[wintry solar]

not passing the card into is_suit_ref if you havent fixed yet

[long sun]

oh ^^;

darn

thanks!

[white hull]

Where can I find loc_vars for consumables i.e. Ankh? Doesn't seem to be in card.lua

I wanna find where it appends "Removes Negative from copy" to the description

[white hull]

merci

[torpid flicker]

why cant i drag around the card on the main menu?

local mm = Game.main_menu
local recentered = false
function Game:main_menu(change_context, ...)

if self.title_top then
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({

[white hull]

to do a hook, you need to save your call to mm in a local variable, and at the end of the hook return that variable, i'm pretty sure

[torpid flicker]

the hook works like the card gets offset and the extra cards get removed i just cant move the remaining card

also im fairly sure im doing both those things

[slim ferry]

try self.title_top.cards[1].states.drag.can to true at the end

[torpid flicker]

nope

local recentered = false
function Game:main_menu(change_context, ...)
    mm(self, change_context, ...)

    if self.title_top then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.1,
            func = function()

               
                if self.title_top.cards and #self.title_top.cards > 0 then

                    for i = #self.title_top.cards, 2, -1 do
                        self.title_top.cards[i]:remove()
                    end

                    local remaining = self.title_top.cards[1]
                    if remaining and not recentered then
                        remaining:set_alignment({
                            major = self.title_top,
                            type = 'cm',  
                            offset = {x = 1.5, y = 0}
                        })
                        recentered = true
                        self.title_top.cards[1].states.drag.can = true
                    end
                end
                return true
            end
        }))
    end
end```

i mightve put it in the wrong place?

[slim ferry]

try all the way at the end of the hook

and also try adding self.title_top.cards[1].states.hover.can = true maybe

[torpid flicker]

nope

[torpid flicker]

ok

didnt work

[slim ferry]

damn

okay idk then

[torpid flicker]

i can hover over it and click it it just wont move

ive got unjankify on and it just wont move even if i change how far apart cards on the logo are

lowke forgot i was in a discord call lmao

[hard thistle]

hey yall
how do i make stuff like custom jokers
is there a good video or smth
