[elder rune]

Like under misc = {}

[sharp patrol]

okay i found it and it is

horribly split up but okay then

undiscovered under other and then some random stuff under misc in dictionary and labels

[grizzled tide]

mm does anybody know how to go about making a joker resolve an effect while its debuffed? i want a joker to detect when a different joker is sold so it undebuffs itself

[wintry solar]

look at Card:can_calculate

[grizzled tide]

thx :)

[sharp patrol]

brah

[viscid talon]

i think you may need to include a key or smth of the sort to notify the consumable that you're including this info

[sharp patrol]

is the key not just the key for the consumable

[lament agate]

how would i make certain consumable type to appear in certain pack

like for example i want this set to appear in spectral packs

[sharp patrol]

soul_set = "Spectral"

[grizzled tide]

im a bit lost on what can_calculate actually does- do you know where i could look to properly read up on it?

[sharp patrol]

wait lemme grab the code

[lament agate]

soul_set?

[sharp patrol]

this stuff

under the consumable code

theres not a way to do it under the consumable type iirc

[red flower]

if it returns true it can run calculate

[grizzled tide]

hm

then what does card:can_calculate(true) do?

[red flower]

nothing, you need to hook it

[grizzled tide]

im not really sure how i would hook can_calculate to do this- is there a mod that does something similar i could refer to?

[mystic river]

[winter flower]

(alternative option)

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

[grizzled tide]

mm i understand hooking, im just not sure on can_calculate-

oh, this would help, what parameters are passed to can_calculate

like does it recieve context?

[frosty rampart]

i think the point is that usually debuffed cards return false in can_calculate, but by hooking it you can make it return true for your specific case

[grizzled tide]

OH

so just make it return true if its debuffed otherwise run normally, and them detect if its debuffed on my own in calculate?

that makes so much sense, thank you 😭

[frosty rampart]

you should only make it return true if it's debuffed and it's your specific joker, to avoid other debuffed cards doing things they shouldn't

[grizzled tide]

cant i just hook within my specific joker or do i need to hook onto the generic can_calculate?

[red flower]

function hooks are always generic

[grizzled tide]

gotcha 🫡

so something like this?

[grizzled tide]

thank you

[winter flower]

wrong channel

• one of your mods you have installed is likely causing the problem,
  take out every mod you have and put them in one by one to check which one is causing the issue

[sonic musk]

thank you shrimp

[fallen topaz]

i restarted on my mod ( everything made it crash ) and ive alr made 21 jokers

[unkempt bronze]

https://github.com/PxPxPxPxPxP/Balatro_My_Way/tree/main

mod's ready to play...

if anyone wants...

[grizzled tide]

(id probably bump your own thread that its ready to play if youve updated it with something)

[grizzled tide]

does anyone know if there's a way to add to the debuffed description? i do want to indicate this additional ability

[fallen topaz]

would anyone wana playtest my mod? i updated it and it seems like it works now?

[winter flower]

is there a function that i can hook (or patch) to prevent gameovers
not like mr bones, like if you hit 0 hands you don't lose instantly, you can keep playing hands

[grizzled tide]

guys- is there a way to debuff a card in hand till the end of the round

[spiral mural]

is there a function that runs when a card is selected

chud

[daring fern]

Yes, end_round

[celest anvil]

how do i load my localization file.

[frosty rampart]

shouldn't need to, smods loads it automatically

[subtle hawk]

When it's highlighted? Card:highlight

[celest anvil]

then why would it not?
namely Oops! The game crashed: [SMODS galdur "galdur.lua"]:1085: attempt to index local 'loc_target' (a nil value)

[spiral mural]

thankers 👀

[frosty rampart]

what's the exact name of your loc file?

[frosty rampart]

and you're sure it's formatted properly?
do you have any issues if you turn galdur off?

[honest bridge]

Trying to make my own Custom Booster Pack! How do I get rid of the card ui appearing?

[celest anvil]

it looks like this without galdur.

[frosty rampart]

send your localization file, it's easier if i can look at it and point out what's wrong

[frosty rampart]

yea this isn't quite right
as per the documentation, everything inside the return table needs to be wrapped in another table labeled descriptions
so basically it should be this:

return {
  descriptions = {
    ["Joker"] = ...
  }
}

[junior tapir]

Does the class Card which includes all jokers, playing cards, consumables... have some unique key to tell apart each Card instance?

[frosty dock]

what do you need that for? cards do have unique identifiers (I don't recall under what key), but they aren't all that useful because they don't survive a reload

[junior tapir]

I am intending on putting each card with certain attributes in a system that will be changing through the course of the game (because I will be changing it often mid-game I don't really want to iterate through every single card into the system, but rather the cards with those attributes). And in that system I want a correlation between the cards and their keys - every time I change those attributes the system will be notified, but the system itself has to keep track of which card sent the notification, so a key will be very handy in that regard

hmm, so if they are not surviving a reload, I might need to do something about that as well

[limber aspen]

What does G.GAME.legendary_mod affect?

I thought it affects soul rate but it doesnt change

[junior tapir]

actually, I might be able to implement a relation between the cards and the system without Card-related keys (they could be system-related)

[daring fern]

[primal robin]

Question. Should I be bothered to add keybinds API in Handy so you can add own ones?
It supports key conbinations and when I'll have time to rebuild it again will support holding properly too

[ashen parrot]

is there an easy method of getting the number of hands played in the current blind?

subtracting current hands from max hands wouldnt account for artificial hand decreases

ohh

i could just increment a counter

damn i'm kind of stupid huh

[daring fern]

G.GAME.current_round.hands_played

[ashen parrot]

oh ok

ty

[subtle hawk]

Is there a vanilla/smods implementation for making a card you can't drag?

Oh wait

states.drag.can I think

Yeah okay exactly that

[violet oasis]

I'm trying to filter the G.P_CENTER_POOLS["Joker"] list for a random blueprint_compatible Joker to feed into SMODS.blueprint_effect, but it doesn't work. Checking the table for the pool and stuff in G.jokers.cards and it looks very, very different. Is there any way to get the G.jokers.cards[i] equivalent for a randomly selected Joker from the center pool or would I have to add it to a custom Joker area and get it from there just to use it in blueprint effect?

[red flower]

P_CENTER_POOLS has prototypes (the centers) while G.jokers.cards has cards, you would need to create the card object somehow
I would recommend looking at Ortalab's Pinkprint

[lament agate]

can somebody explain to me why the joker still appears in the shop/packs

[red flower]

what is that warning in in_pool saying

[violet oasis]

Figured, at least I learned something. Thanks!

[red flower]

it's outside the joker definition

[lament agate]

huh

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "despair",
    loc_txt = {
        name = ":despair2:",
        text = {
            "You are not supposed to see this."
        }
    },
    rarity = 1,
    atlas = 'despair',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    no_collection = true,
    cost = math.huge,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    config = { extra = {} },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = {} }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
      if context.joker_main then
        return { mult = -math.huge }
    end
    in_pool = function(self, args)
        return false
    end
end
}

so?

[red flower]

ok it's inside calculate

[lament agate]

ah shit

i see it now

thanks

[subtle hawk]

Looking at green joka on vremade, is that really the only way to check for a discard?

Just feels kinda silly

[red flower]

what's the silly part

[daring fern]

No, context.pre_discard exists.

[red flower]

ah if you mean discards in general yes

[subtle hawk]

The fact that we check for the last card in the discard to know that discard happens

[red flower]

green joker does it for the animation iirc

[subtle hawk]

Oh, awesome

[subtle hawk]

Oh

Missing loc_vars function.

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
    return { vars = { self.config.hands, self.config.discards } }
end,

[hasty kelp]

before the apply

but now my text says 0

[subtle hawk]

I'm so fucking confused, I thought context.before runs once??????

[hasty kelp]

fixed it didnt need the # # between the number and i started with 8 hands and 7 discards randomly

because i had the hands and discard set to 4 both

[subtle hawk]

SOMEHOW, the effect that triggers on context.before triggers multiple times. This DOES not happen with the context.pre_discard

Ignore that return true btw, it isn't relevant 😛

[wintry solar]

can you show the full function?

[hasty kelp]

    key = 'backtobasic',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Back to Basic',
        text = {
            'Each playing card',
            'without any {C:attention}enhancement{}',
            'and {C:attention}edition{}',
            'gives {C:mult}+#1#{} Mult'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 6,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = false,
    config = {extra = {mult = 4}},
    loc_vars = function (self, card, info_queue)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not next(SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card)) and not context.other_card.editon then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end,
}```

[wintry solar]

loc_vars args are wrong order, should be self, info_queue, card

[subtle hawk]

I moved the check for Joker being rightmost in this one but it's not like it stopped triggering multiple times after that

[hasty kelp]

also at the calculation it need to be
self, context, card

[wintry solar]

no

[subtle hawk]

Blunder

[wintry solar]

so it scales more than once?

[subtle hawk]

It moves more than once, too. More specifically, it scales until it moves to the rightmost slot

[wintry solar]

oh

yes

I get it

if you move it, the calculation back end will run it again and skip whatever you moved

because it just goes in order of positions

do the movement in an event

[subtle hawk]

Oh

OH

Omfg thank you

this code makes my barun make 1.5 chips not 1.5 mult why??

dummy i solved it myself i had it with chips not mult at the return after my else

[pale holly]

    if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and not G.GAME.current_round.discards_left ~= 0  and not context.blueprint then

        if Chippy > 0 then  -- Only subtract if result stays above 0
            card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips - (card.ability.extra.additional * G.GAME.current_round.discards_left)

            }

Hello, just trying to fix up my issue where the text show this when losing chips, could someone help me about it please ? It's most definitely in the message but unsure exactly what

[red flower]

a_chips is for positive values, a_chips_minus for negatives

[hasty kelp]

what causes this specific crash?

[pale holly]

thanks !

Does anyone know how to prevent Certificate from spawning a modded Seal? I want my seal to only be obtainable with a spectral card. I already prevent it from appearing in booster packs.

[daring fern]

in_pool = function() return false end in the seal code.

[vale crow]

Thanks!

[mystic river]

you're trying to access the atlas ja_jokers somewhere, but no atlas with that key was ever created

at a first guess i suspect you're really trying to access the vanilla jokers atlas (though i think it might be Jokers, capitalized) and just need to add prefix config

[daring fern]

[white hull]

Can I detect if a card is being juiced up?

[daring fern]

if card.juice?

[slim ferry]

Hook Card.juice_up

Or that yeah depends on what the goal is

[white hull]

The goal is not juicing the same card twice without making a variable specifically for tracking that because I'm lazy

[wintry solar]

not juicing the same card twice when?

[white hull]

Yeah this works, thank you!

[white hull]

A joker that starts juicing when you have consumables, and since you can get consumables from purple seals, I check for that every hand drawn

But turns out juicing the card can stack and make it go hyper mode

[wintry solar]

you can use juice_card_until

[white hull]

I do that, but it can get activated multiple times

So checking for card.juice solved that

[wintry solar]

oh I guess it depends on when you trigger the juice originally yeah

[white hull]

-- When hand is drawn
if context.hand_drawn and next(G.consumeables.cards) ~= nil and not card.juice and not context.blueprint then
    -- Wiggle while used = false
    local eval = function() return card.ability.extra.used == false and not G.RESET_JIGGLES end
    juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
end

[wintry solar]

without knowing the actual effect, it's hard to know, but I imagine you don't need to check it every time you draw a hand

[white hull]

Without and not card.juice the effect will keep stacking on every hand drawn

Which was the problem lol

[white hull]

I mean I don't but I think it's a nice touch for this joker

So this works fine

[wintry solar]

what is the actual effect?

[white hull]

Once per round you can sell a consumable to destroy a random card in hand

So if you have consumables I want the joker to signal to you that you can use it

Since you can get consumables from seals and other jokers and whatever else, I want the wiggling to start at any point during the blind

But that caused it to stack

So and not card.juice solved that

[vale zinc]

yeah, the info_queue above it is working fine

I'm trying to make a boss blind that adds some temporary cards during the blind. I want these cards to always be added to your hand whenever you play or discard, but I'm having an issue. If my hand is full (ie I play a card and have 8/8), no card is added. Is there a way to always have a card be added?

(I have yet to add a check for the round ending, and will add that)

SMODS.Blind {
    key = "spike",
    dollars = 8,
    mult = 2,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 26 },
    boss = { min = 3 },
    boss_colour = HEX("4AAD42"),
    config = { spiny_cards = 1 },
    calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if not blind.disabled then
            if context.hand_drawn then
                for i = 1, blind.config.blind.config.spiny_cards do
                    local _card = SMODS.create_card{ set = "Base", enhancement = "m_poko_spiny", area = G.discard , key_append = "poko_spike" , no_edition = true }
                    table.insert(G.playing_cards, _card)
                    G.hand:emplace(_card)
                    _card:juice_up()
                end
                save_run()
            end
        end
    end,
    remove_spiny = function()
        for _, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if SMODS.has_enhancement(card, 'm_poko_spiny') then card:start_dissolve() end
        end
    end,
    disable = function(self)
        self.remove_spiny()
    end

[red flower]

hand_drawn is called when a hand is drawn, so you would need another context

context.drawing_cards maybe

[vale zinc]

Any takers?

[hardy vessel]

This seems to be working. Thank you!

[daring fern]

Change self to blind

[next timber]

is there a way for a tag to apply a continous effect for a round? i would like to make a tag that doubles all chances for a single round

i dont see any mention of a calculate function on the docs page for tags but knowing the smods documentation it might still have one so idk

[red flower]

it doesnt

i would use mod calculate

[next timber]

ok thx

[next timber]

ugh wdym you cant make a tag yep at the end of a round without using the money eval context

that doesnt. work for what im doing

might have to scrap the clover tag for now

[frosty rampart]

doubt it's very hard to set up a custom tag context
heck, you could probably just call the tag context during context.end_of_round in the mod calculate

[open moth]

How can I make a player fight the same blind another time? (They get the payout and the shop)

More precisely, the Big Blind

[mystic river]

after defeating the blind, change G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states.Big to "Upcoming"
just make sure you have a condition on this so you don't have the boss blind infinitely

i think the safest timing for this would be upon entering the shop

[paper trout]

where are things like ante/hands/discards display in the code?

[red flower]

i recommend looking at the key for the text in the localization files and then searching for that in the code

it's the best way to find ui functions

[paper trout]

ty

[gusty pumice]

Howdy! Is there any way to check for if a specific card is in the played hand when a joker is triggered? For example, my joker already gives X2 mult, but I want it to give an extra X1.5 if a king of hearts is in the played hand.

[frosty rampart]

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

[gusty pumice]

I understand that part, but how do I check the list for the King of Hearts specifically

[frosty rampart]

reference VanillaRemade and see how e.g. the idol does it
it's slightly different because it works in context.individual, but you can do for _, other_card in pairs(context.full_hand) do and then other_card acts like context.other_card does in the idol's code
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L3874

[gusty pumice]

gotcha, will look into

found the problem! Had to check Lusty Joker and Baron to find exactly what I was looking for, tyvm!

[granite jay]

How the hell do I actually save the option?

[next timber]

have cardareas been changed recently? G.deck.config.true_card_limit no longer seems to exist

[red flower]

yes

what do you need to check that for instead of card_limit

[next timber]

i frankly dont remember, but what i was trying to check was the total amount of cards in the player's full deck

[frosty rampart]

i think #G.playing_cards should work just fine for that

[next timber]

cool

[paper trout]

how do i set a custom G.GAME variable to be 0 when a run starts? should i patch the part where the base game sets hands and money and stuff or is there a better way

[mystic river]

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

[paper trout]

perfect ty

[knotty granite]

how can you test a seal

I usually use zokers mod menu to test everything I make how can you test a seal

[slim ferry]

Use debugplus

I didnt even know zokers mod menu ever worked

[knotty granite]

what

[slim ferry]

Its coded with ai

[knotty granite]

dang

[slim ferry]

And used to not work at all

[knotty granite]

I dons't want to use it at all now

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/debugplus is the true debugging goat

[knotty granite]

k

how do you use it

[frosty rampart]

hold Tab once you install it, it'll explain everything

[knotty granite]

how is my seal so bad that it just exits the game

when I hover over it

thus there must be somehing wrong with the localazation

what is wrong

maybe in the atlas

[next timber]

how would i make a "fake" locked joker for the collection that cant be unlocked and has no actual impact on spawning, pools. etc? i want my crossmod jokers to show as locked with the unlock condition being to install the mod

[next timber]

afaik seals should be the full size of a card

[wind steppe]

make the unlock condition always false?

[paper trout]

i kinda have no idea what im doing with UI so i wrote this code to literally just copy the round display and use it for a prestige thing i made, it works but seems to reset to 0 like half a second after updating, how do i make it Not do that

[mystic river]

this wouldn't work with unlock all
you might have to actively re-lock it

[wind steppe]

oh right

[wind steppe]

ortalab demo did something like that i think

[wind steppe]

crash, freeze, or instantly close

[knotty granite]

instantly close

[wind steppe]

i suspect something else is at play

mod list?

[wind steppe]

i assume 101 is your mod?

[knotty granite]

yes

[wind steppe]

sj is your prefix right

[knotty granite]

yes

[wind steppe]

remove the loc_vars for a sec

does it still close?

[knotty granite]

k

yes

[wind steppe]

your seal has altas instead of atlas

[knotty granite]

ok that fixed the visual glitch

but not the game instantly closing\

[wind steppe]

your calculate has no context check btw

remove it for a moment see if that fixes it

[lament agate]

SMODS.Voucher{
    key = 'carton',
    pos = { x = 8, y = 2 },
    cost = 10,
    config = { extra = { sell_gain = 1 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.sell_gain } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.boss and G.jokers and not context.blueprint then
            return {
                func = function()
                    for _, j in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                        j.sell_cost = (j.sell_cost or j.cost or 0) + card.ability.extra.sell_gain
                        j:set_cost()
                    end
                end
            }
        end
    end
}

is there a reason this voucher doesnt work?

it shows this

[knotty granite]

that fixes it

[wind steppe]

i think you're using pseudorandom_probability wrong in the calculate

[next timber]

how do you relock a joker?

[wind steppe]

you could look into the ortalab demo? i know they have jokers that can never be unlocked (the jokers that werent in the game yet)

[next timber]

wow the code for the ortalab demo is fucking awful to read

i cant find where its doing it

maybe im looking at the wrong demo or smth idk

[knotty granite]

this ain't working

[next timber]

ok im looking at a demo that actually has this now and uh. those jokers arent actually locked lmao

they just look locked

theyre just normal unlocked jokers with the locked joker texture

i mean like yeah that works too i can do that

how would i hide the rarity badge of a joker?

[next timber]

figured it out,

set_card_type_badge = function(self,card,badges)
  return {}
end

[grizzled tide]

hi! I'm having a really weird issue where when I use card:set_debuff(true) on a playing card where if i set_debuff(false) on a completely unrelated joker, it also undebuffs the playing card? im quite confused why this happens

^ to clarify, both of these happen in the calculate function

[gusty pumice]

Is there an array of joker only cards in the shop that I can pull from after rerolling?

[red flower]

no but G.shop_jokers.cards has all of them and you can filter by jokers manually

[gusty pumice]

That sounds perfect, how would I do so?

[red flower]

loop through it and check if card_in_shop.ability.set == "Joker"

[gusty pumice]

So the idea would be, if I wanted to modify a variable that counts all of the jokers

for i = 1, G.shop_jokers.cards do
  if context.card.ability.set == 'Joker' then
    card.ability.extra.count = card.ability.extra.count + 1
  end
end

right?

[red flower]

for i = 1, #G.shop_jokers.cards do
  if G.shop_jokers.cards[i].ability.set == 'Joker' then
    card.ability.extra.count = card.ability.extra.count + 1
  end
end

or

for _, card_in_shop in ipairs(G.shop_jokers.cards) do
  if card_in_shop.ability.set == 'Joker' then
    card.ability.extra.count = card.ability.extra.count + 1
  end
end

[gusty pumice]

Cool cool! Last bit, does the first joker in the shop count as index 0 or index 1?

[red flower]

lua is 1-indexed

[gusty pumice]

so I should do ```lua
if card.ability.extra.count > 0 then

[red flower]

yes

[gusty pumice]

perfect, thanks a bunch!

Och, wait, I just realized it might come up with a false positive when referencing the index in another part since jokers aren't guaranteed to be left oriented.
What's the best way to go about targeting the right-most joker in the shop to make it negative?

[red flower]

theyre sorted left to right

so the last joker you find is the rightmost

[gusty pumice]

So if I had a shop with death on the left and joker on the right, setting the shop_jokers card at [i] to be negative would still make the joker negative and not death?

[red flower]

what is [i] in this case

[gusty pumice]

not [i] mb, setting the card at [card.ability.extra.count]

[red flower]

no because youre only counting jokers

local rightmost_joker
for _, card_in_shop in ipairs(G.shop_jokers.cards) do
  if card_in_shop.ability.set == 'Joker' then
    rightmost_joker = card_in_shop
  end
end
if rightmost_joker then rightmost_joker:set_edition("e_negative") end

[gusty pumice]

Works like a charm now, thanks again. May I ask, what does ipairs do?

[red flower]

it iterates over a integer indexed table (an array) in order

the first value is the key (in this case 1, 2, 3, 4, etc) and the second one the value

[gusty pumice]

I see I see! Very useful, I learn so much

[dawn linden]

Hm. I dragged-and-dropped the music and some sfx I wanna use for my mod directly into the game to test them out, and the sound effects are working, but the game won't start when I replace music1.

This is what the crash message says
Could not read Ogg bitstream stack traceback: [C]: at 0x7ffe366258a0 [C]: in function 'newSource' engine/sound_manager.lua:27: in main chunk

[sturdy compass]

What do your sound objects look like?

[dawn linden]

It's also saved as music1.ogg

[sturdy compass]

Your SMODS.Sound object is what I'm asking about

[dawn linden]

I kinda pushed aside the mods' main file for later, but I suppose now is later. I was getting impatient and commented it out. I apologize for what you're about to see

[sturdy compass]

This is actually pretty fine. I think the only thing that needs to change is return 10 in select_music_track

And also the path since you said it's different now

[dawn linden]

Oh! Ok, I'll see if that works

[sturdy compass]

I also recommend setting up a sync field so it does properly sync with booster OST and the like

  ['music1'] = true,
  ['music2'] = true,
  ['music3'] = true,
  ['music4'] = true,
  ['music5'] = true
}```

[gusty pumice]

How would I set up a consumable that increases a card's chips (like hiker) by an amount equal to the consumables of the same type used? (+1 chips if zero consumables used, +2 if one, so on and so forth)

[daring fern]

card.ability_perma_chips = card.ability_perma_chips + (1+G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.consumabletypekey)

[gusty pumice]

Cool cool! And I'd just replace consumabletypekey with the modded consumable key I make?

[daring fern]

No, you would replace it with the consumable type key.

[gusty pumice]

gotcha

[dawn linden]

It's still not working 😰

    vol = 0.6,
    pitch = 0.7,
    key = "music_main",
    path = "music_main.ogg",
    select_music_track = function()
        return 10
    end,
    sync = {
    ['music_main'] = true,
    ['music2'] = true,
    ['music3'] = true,
    ['music4'] = true,
    ['music5'] = true
    }
})```

[subtle hawk]

Feels like you aren't giving enough info tbh

Are you sure it's not just prestige value actually going down for some reason

[paper trout]

oh it is (also i knew i recognized you from somewhere lol)

[daring fern]

‎

[paper trout]

sorry if im asking too much but I have no idea why its doing that (this is the only relevant part of the code)

[daring fern]

Because you're setting it to 0 in SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals

[paper trout]

isn't that just when the run starts tho

[daring fern]

Yes, but it's also every round.

[paper trout]

i see

society if i read more than 1 sentence

[sturdy compass]

you said the file is saved as music1.ogg?

Oh nvm just saw it got solved in #⚙・modding-support

[dawn linden]

Yup! Onto new problems for me hehe

[gusty pumice]

is there an equivalent to consumable_usage_total for triggering a joker?

[daring fern]

You mean you want to know how many times a joker has triggered?

[gusty pumice]

Ye, 1 specific joker

[daring fern]

No, there isn't, you would have to count the triggers manually.

[grizzled tide]

does anyone know how i could add onto the debuffed description for a specific joker?

[white hull]

maybe you could look at how invisible joker adds the “removes negative from copy” text onto itself and do it that way

tho idk if it’ll actually work when the joker is debuffed

[red flower]

this but also return replace_debuff = true in loc_vars

[knotty granite]

How would I set a shop joker to be negative

[vocal helm]

I'm working on alternate artwork configuration for my mod, and some jokers' alternate artwork make use of soul_pos while others don't. I know you can use the update function in order to card.children.center:set_sprite_pos, but does this apply to soul_pos and any extra info you give it (like for Hologram)

tl;dr how would i make a card look like either Photograph or Hologram based on a boolean

[daring fern]

No, you would use card.children.floating_sprite:set_sprite_pos

[vocal helm]

ahhh, okay, thanks!

would it be possible to change the card atlas and pixel size as well

[daring fern]

Yes, card.children.center.atlas = G.ASSET_ATLAS['modprefix_key']

[vocal helm]

sick, thanks
and if I just wanted to enable/disable the floating sprite?

[daring fern]

card.children.floating_sprite.states.visible = false?

[vocal helm]

perfect

thank you

[next timber]

how do you check with code what mod a joker is from?

[red flower]

card.config.center.mod.id

(mod wont exist for vanilla)

also original_mod if you wont want to take into account take ownership

[next timber]

ah that doesnt seem to work for jokers in the collection

great

wai tno it does what

[open moth]

How can you make it so that you face the Big Blind twice? (Joker effect)

[next timber]

ok when its from SMODS.collection_pool i can skip the config.center

[daring fern]

Patch end_round and reset score and hands and discards.

[open moth]

But I want the player to still get the shop and the reward

[daring fern]

G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states.Big = 'Select' in context.end_of_round?

[open moth]

Ok
But what will happen if the player skips the blind?

You know what

[daring fern]

You mean you want the player to be able to skip the blind twice?

[open moth]

Like if you faced the blind twice, yeah

However that would be a free tag each ante...

Is it balanced?

[daring fern]

You would probably do G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states.Big = 'Select' in context.skip_blind and the reset the blind UI.

[open moth]

Ok

How do you reset the blind UI though?

Wait...

Wouldn't it be better if the second blind is... Unskippable?

[daring fern]

You would use some of the code from G.FUNCS.reroll_boss but the Big blind instead of the Boss blind.

[open moth]

Ok

[vocal helm]

yay :>

[open moth]

Thanks for the help!

[latent portal]

Hello chat!

I'm back working on my Balatro mod after a while

[tranquil gull]

how would i find a card in G.play by rank?

say, find the first played Jack

[frosty rampart]

G.play.cards (or context.full_hand) is in order, just loop through with ipairs and as soon as you find a Jack break the loop

[latent portal]

My question is: How do you get the player's most played hand?

[frosty rampart]

vanillaremade is a great reference for that, you can check e.g. how obelisk would get the most played hand
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L2062

[daring fern]

local jack
for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
    if v:get_id() == 11 then
        jack = v
        break
    end
end

[next timber]

how could i get a mod's display name from its id?

[daring fern]

SMODS.Mods[id].display_name

[next timber]

awesome thx

[past spade]

does this wording make sense?

[latent portal]

and how would i access the last hand the player played?

is that a thing or do i have to record it myself

[daring fern]

G.GAME.last_hand_played

[latent portal]

Thanks!

[next timber]

it does make sense but it took me a second to figure it out

for clarity id change "largest" and "smallest" to "most common" and "least"

[past spade]

yeah those are probably clearer

[gusty pumice]

How do I check in context.individual if other_card has any Enhancement?

[frosty rampart]

if next(SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card)) then
SMODS.get_enhancements returns a table of all the enhancements that the card has (accounting for quantum enhancements); you need the next to check if it has any because it'll return an empty table if it doesn't, and that still counts as true in lua

[next timber]

is there any way i can estimate how wide a string will appear as text if i know its scale?

[gusty pumice]

perfect, thx!

[white hull]

I mean, put it in the game and see

Then tweak accordingly

[next timber]

i do not know what the string is until runtime
but i figured out a kinda hacky solution anyways

[frosty rampart]

the point is that any arbitrary string could be here, because it's pulling from every installed mod's display name (scroll up for context)
i think love2d has functions that can handle that, but i don't remember exactly off the top of my head, and i'm not sure how it could be translated to balatro UI dimensions

[next timber]

yeah i used love2d's get width function on a string that fits nicely into the box, and then used that to do some math so that any text should fit roughly in

[gusty pumice]

so I've been doing messages on my cards like this

message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.triggered * 2,

But I have a joker that adds both chips and mult, and I'd like it to come out looking like +X/+X, but can't figure out how to get the card.ability.extra.triggered * 2 to show on both parts

[red flower]

message = '+'.. (card.ability.extra.triggered * 2).. '/+'.. card.ability.extra.triggered * 2?

[tranquil gull]

alright, what can i hook to recalculate the hand when reordering cards in your hand

[red flower]

can't you reorder them before the hand is calculated

[gusty pumice]

Why in the world did I not think of that, tysm

[tranquil gull]

i have an enhancement that makes a card copy the rank and suit of the card to the right so i need to recalculate bc it's now placement dependent

[red flower]

cant it do that before the hand is calculated?

like during context.press_play

[tranquil gull]

yes, but i want it to recalculate when you're selecting a hand and reordering cards in your hand

[red flower]

context.evaluate_poker_hand?

[tranquil gull]

so that the preview is accurate

that doesn't get called when cards are reordered

that's the problem

[red flower]

i think you might be able to call it manually let me check

[tranquil gull]

well i need to be able to know _when _ to call it

[red flower]

one of the contexts is called when reordering

i know because i tested yesterday

i think modify_scoring_hand?

[tranquil gull]

i need to run G.hand:parse_highlighted() whenever cards are reordered

but i don't know how to call things "when cards are reordered"

that's my problem

[red flower]

Node:stop_drag iirc

[red flower]

nope that was a mod

[tranquil gull]

is a Card a Node

[red flower]

but it does it on Node:stop_drag

[red flower]

yes

card stop drag wasnt called when i tried to do the same thing iirc

[next timber]

ok how would i get what mod a card's seal is from?

or more specifically the seal of a card in the seal collection page

[tranquil gull]

hmmmmmmm hooking Node.stop_drag isn't working

or no

i did it wrong

[daring fern]

G.P_SEALS[card.seal].mod

[next timber]

thx

[latent portal]

Okay so there's an issue here.

I'm using context.scoring_name and G.GAME.last_hand_played to compare the current hand to the last hand the player played

thing is, they're always the same!

Do I have to keep track of this manually?

I'm not sure what to do...

[daring fern]

You would set a variable to G.GAME.last_hand_played in context.press_play and use that instead.

[latent portal]

Ooh, I see! Thank you, I'll see if that works.

[white hull]

comments that say TARGET: in the code are for lovely patches right? you can't like hook onto them or whatever?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[white hull]

neat-o

[gusty pumice]

SMODS.Rarity {
    key = 't6',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Tier 6'

    badge_colour = HEX('FFD700'),
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end
}

My jokers with this rarity all have a cost of 3 set, but don't seem to be appearing in the shop. Any ideas?

[wintry solar]

If you haven’t got it sorted yet, I do something similar here https://github.com/EremelMods/Ortalab/blob/main/objects/jokers/stonehenge.lua

[heavy elm]

how would i make a joker that does something when it's destroyed? is there a context i can use for it or is it more difficult than that?

[open moth]

stupid question: how do you detect if the player is in the Big Blind?

[latent portal]

another probably stupid question: how do you check if it's the first hand of the round?

[daring fern]

In the remove_from_deck function, check if not from_debuff

[daring fern]

if G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key == 'bl_big'

[daring fern]

if G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0

[latent portal]

Thanks!

[gusty pumice]

can provide more info if needed

[oblique pond]

question: where does the game decide on which tags to generate for an ante?

[daring fern]

You need pools = {['Joker'] = true}

[daring fern]

get_next_tag_key in functions/common_events.lua

[gusty pumice]

Always the basic stuff. Thanks :")

[oblique pond]

thank you!

[faint yacht]

Or if SMODS.is_active_blind('bl_big').

[red flower]

saving this for what im doing rn

[lament agate]

can i actually use calculate function for enhancements

most of the stuff ive seen is config heavy

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

what would the statement be?

if context.main_eval then

?

[daring fern]

If you want it when played and scoring then it would be:

if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
    -- Code
end

[lament agate]

got it

thanks

[oblique pond]

there we go

[latent portal]

I had an idea for a Joker... I want to check how many King and Queen pairs there are in the scoring hand. How would I do that?

[daring fern]

local text, loc_disp_text, poker_hands = G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(context.scoring_hand)
local count = 0
for k, v in pairs(poker_hands['Pair']) do
    if v[1]:get_id() == 12 or v[1]:get_id() == 13 then
        count = count+1
    end
end

[latent portal]

I don't think this does what I intended...

Ideally what I want is that count increases IF the hand has a King AND a Queen in it

So in a full house like this -----> KKQQQ

count would equal 2

[white hull]

You probably can count the number of kings in the hand, count the number of queens in the hand, and take the lower number for what you wanna do

[red flower]

you can just change this to have a boolean for kings and one for queens

[latent portal]

I don't know how to count that 🥲

I don't know where the cards of the hand are in context.scoring_hand

As in I don't know how to get the cards

[white hull]

context.scoring_hand is a table of cards

so context.scoring_hand[1] would be the first card

[latent portal]

OH

My bad dog

I thought it had other data in there

I swear I tried that and it didn't work 😭

Maybe I'm just dumb

[red flower]

I recommend checking the example jokers in vanillaremade if you havent

i dont think theres one, update for SMODS.Deck is bugged iirc

jumpscare

[glad osprey]

oh yea

forgot

what about saving a run

jimbone

what context do i use there

[rare torrent]

how do i make a joker retrigger itself multiple times? kinda like jerko from the all in jest mod

[still hedge]

i read that joker name wrong

[daring fern]

if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card == card then return {repetitions = number} end

[rare torrent]

do i put that inside the calculate function?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[white hull]

though you need to have the joker retrigger optional feature enabled yeah?

[rare torrent]

well it didn't work, here's what i did ```calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card == card then return {repetitions = 50} end
if context.joker_main then
local op = math.random(1, 4)
local val = math.random(1, 9)

            if op == 1 then
                return {
                    mult = val,
                }
            elseif op == 2 then
                return {
                    mult = -val,
                }
            elseif op == 3 then
                return {
                    xmult = val,
                }
            elseif op == 4 then
                return {
                    xmult = (1 / val),
                }
        end
    end
end```

[frosty rampart]

as neokat mentioned joker retriggering is an optional feature, you need to enable it in your mod
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#what-are-optional-features

[white hull]

sidenote, instead of math.random you should be using pseudorandom so the results are consistent with the same balatro seed

[rare torrent]

ok it works now thank you!

[granite raptor]

chat do we think 1 in 10 is too high or too low for this

[white hull]

i think it's fine

[frosty rampart]

what if it destroyed the leftmost joker instead of a random joker

[white hull]

you'll find out during playtesting if you have a few people play

[wild patrol]

you think this is too much

or just right

[slim ferry]

why does this create random cards of the selected key's set, rather than the actually specified card key

[red flower]

is it banned?

[slim ferry]

wait

does banned do that

[red flower]

yes

[slim ferry]

wtf

since when

[red flower]

its in vanilla im pretty sure

[slim ferry]

i thought creating specific cards would bypass it

[red flower]

it bypasses in pool but not that, i had many Banner crashes reported to me because of that

[slim ferry]

i guess i can just temporarily unban

and create the card in between

and just return a card

[wild patrol]

is there away to get the current number of jokers

trying to makea pseduorandom for the banana command

but instead of just making a guess of how many jokers someone might have rather just put the current amound of jokers in

[frosty rampart]

#G.jokers.cards

[wild patrol]

local random = pseudorandom("ttv_389201", 1, #G.jokers.cards)

so something like this

[frosty rampart]

if you're trying to get a random joker you can just directly do this

local random_joker = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, "ttv_389201")

but if you specifically need the index then yea do what you wrote

[wild patrol]

not really it's just a simple few lines

    if is_on_cooldown() then return end
    local RanSet = {"j_gros_michel", "j_cavendish"}
    local RanSelect = math.random(#RanSet)
    local RanCreate = RanSet[RanSelect]
    local random = pseudorandom("ttv_389201", 1, #G.jokers.cards)
    if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN and G.jokers then
        if #G.jokers.cards > 0 then
        G.jokers.cards[random]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[RanCreate]) 
        end
end
end```

[slim ferry]

pseudorandom_element actually returns the index as the second value

[frosty rampart]

oh cool

[slim ferry]

you shouldnt need it regardless

[wild patrol]

i'll take it for a spin see if it works

eh it works

now I just need to set it where it doesn't replace a banana with a banana

now just need to figure that out

I get how to use f #SMODS.find_card('') just need to figure out hwat the games equivalt of ignore it is

[wicked heron]

Having trouble getting my Mr. Bones style run-save mechanic to not show the message "Saved by Mr. Bones". I've followed advice I've heard elsewhere, but when I change the "saved = true" to "save = 'ph_dagonet'", it doesn't see it as valid.

Calculate function of the card

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if
            context.game_over
            and context.end_of_round
            and context.main_eval
            and G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states.Big ~= "Defeated"
            and card.ability.tick == 1
        then
            card.ability.extra.tick = 2
            return {
                message = localize("k_saved_ex"),
                saved = "ph_dagonet",
                colour = G.C.RED,
            }
        end

        if card.ability.extra.tick == 2 and context.starting_shop then
            G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states = { Small = "Select", Big = "Upcoming", Boss = "Upcoming" }
            card.ability.extra.tick = 0
        end

        if context.beat_boss then
            card.ability.extra.tick = 1
        end
    end,

Here's the localisation file

return {
    descriptions = {
        Other = {
            info_devils_hand = {
                name = "Devil's Hand",
                text = {
                    "{C:attention}4{} cards with",
                    "no common {C:attention}Suits{}",
                    "or {C:attention}Ranks{}",
                },
            },
        },
    },
    misc = {
        dictionary = {
            ph_dagonet = "Retreat!",
        },
    },
}

[wild patrol]

could do what I do I just grab what I need from a in-game joker using joker forge

https://jokerforge.jaydchw.com/vanilla

        if context.end_of_round and context.game_over and context.main_eval  and not context.blueprint then
            if to_big(G.GAME.chips / G.GAME.blind.chips) >= to_big(0.25) then
                return {
                    saved = true,
                    message = localize('k_saved_ex')
                }
            end
        end
    end```

look how mr. bones does it and tweak it from there

[slim ferry]

What

That literally doesnt solve the issue

[wild patrol]

I miss read it

Mb

if the issues jsut the message

message = localize('k_saved_ex')

[slim ferry]

The revive message

At cashout

Thats different

Also why are you copying from joker forge when vanillaremade exists

[wild patrol]

Just easier for me

I use mixture of everything

Joker forgae vanilla and smods wiki

[slim ferry]

Joker forge takes a bunch of time to export and does everything way jankier though???

[wild patrol]

sometimes but for most part no

Just use it for a template

and go from there

[slim ferry]

It just sucks as a reference too because the code is very unclean

[wild patrol]

Somethings don't work

[slim ferry]

Yeah

[wild patrol]

So I get it

[slim ferry]

And the obsession with (function() ... end)() in the middle of if statements

[wild patrol]

I made a joker that supposed to inscrease chips when u use a bonus face card but it increases regardless

so that's something I gotta fix later

but just trying focus more on the twitch commands

[slim ferry]

When theres a fully functional recreation of everything in vanilla with no issues and readable code and not limited to joker forge supported features

I see no reason to use joker forge instead

[wild patrol]

it's just ok

if u wanna make something simple

[slim ferry]

I can guarantee you that doing simple effects seperately with joker forge when you actually know how to code is just slowing you down

Also you can again just copy paste from vanillaremade which is way faster

[wild patrol]

i've been learning as I go

Been using joker forge less and less

I just use it if I wanna see how an ability works and see if I can tweak it to what I want it to do

[slim ferry]

Well okay thats definitely different than just using it as a reference i would say

Which i thought was implied

[wild patrol]

and i'm not knocking vanilla and smods wiki

it's just a pain to navigate sometimes

[slim ferry]

Why would you hit up vanilla

[wild patrol]

VanillaRemade

it's what everyone links

[slim ferry]

Okay yeah

Everything is organized pretty well idk

And you can just ctrl F to find things in a file

[wild patrol]

it's why I say sometimes

majority of the time it's fine

alright

i'm gonna say i'm a dumbass

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

I had no idea this part existed lmao

[slim ferry]

What part

[wild patrol]

the src

[slim ferry]

The repo with the code?

Oh

[wild patrol]

with how everything functions

[slim ferry]

Lmao

Thays like half the appeal

[wild patrol]

I just figured it was a wiki for explainig how to code stuff

lol

the only thing i've really been using forge for rn

is keep the sprite sheets organized

too lazy to manually add it into a photo editor

then getting annoyed when it's one pixel off

[frosty rampart]

honestly that's reasonable
I think aseprite probably has some features that make it easy to organize sprite sheets but having jokerforge automate it is probably still easier

[wild patrol]

plus I like the idea how joker forage does file structure

I can just organzie my jokers as seperate .lua files

in a folder

instead of going through one big single lua file looking for specific joker to edit

[frosty rampart]

yea you can set that up manually, I think the vanillaremade wiki even explains how it works

[wild patrol]

oh I know i've been manually doing it now

the only thing I wish I can figure out is replacing this local jokerIndexList = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11}

instead of adding a nother number lol

I have gotten better at this compared at my first mod attempt tho

        if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and G.GAME.blind.boss and #G.jokers.cards + (G.GAME.joker_buffer or 0) >= G.jokers.config.card_limit then
            if #SMODS.find_card('j_tcgyugi_Spirit_E') == 0 then
            SMODS.add_card { set = 'Joker', key = 'j_tcgyugi_Spirit_E' }
        elseif
            #SMODS.find_card('j_tcgyugi_Spirit_A') == 0 then
            SMODS.add_card { set = 'Joker', key = 'j_tcgyugi_Spirit_A' }
        elseif
            #SMODS.find_card('j_tcgyugi_Spirit_T') == 0 then
            SMODS.add_card { set = 'Joker', key = 'j_tcgyugi_Spirit_T' } 
        elseif
            #SMODS.find_card('j_tcgyugi_Spirit_H') == 0 then
            SMODS.add_card { set = 'Joker', key = 'j_tcgyugi_Spirit_H' } 
            end
        end
    end
})```

what it used to look like before

Want to do a command to see if I can flip the games ui

But not sure if that would be possible without having to find every individual thing drawn on screen

and telling a command to mirror it

[white hull]

Does SMODS.find_card also find tags?

[red flower]

no

[white hull]

fair nuff

[glad osprey]

how do i define new colours again

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-add-my-own-custom-colors-to-use-in-descriptions

[glad osprey]

thank you

should i just do the same thing but with G.C in order to use the colour elsewhere

[red flower]

you can just address that table if you want but G.C is shorter

[glad osprey]

alr

[uncut cloud]

hi chat quick question
im having this issue here since its my first time working with tags
tryna get a tag that generates specifically jokers from my mod
this works so far but if i have two of the tag, the first joker generated does not quite have their price set to 0, do y'all know a way to fix this?

[wild patrol]

one thing i've been trying to figure out is how some mods have changed the background color on the main menu

[frosty rampart]

it should be local card = create_card(...) methinks
you're setting a global, which future tags are changing and then the event that the yep function creates doesn't get around to running any of its code until after the last card has been created

[uncut cloud]

OH

i forgot the local 😭

my bad

thx !!!

ive been scratching my head at this going like "i dont really see whats wrong" i forgot to type local that was supposed to be there 💔

yea it works now

thx

[torpid flicker]

why is it doing this what

    end
}```

[red flower]

youre not adding the card anywhere

change create_card for add_card

also the playing card added context is not called when the deck is created usually

[torpid flicker]

thanks!

that fixed it

[loud summit]

how do i do stuff between after the last card isscored and jokers are scored

[torpid flicker]

whats the key for the perishable sticker?

[daring fern]

perishable

[daring fern]

‎

[keen atlas]

how to reproduce?

[maiden phoenix]

You're doing something with the Card class or any update func?

[hard needle]

crust out of context

[hasty kelp]

what should i fix on my mild salsa card so heart cards gain +1 mult when scored and increase each time its played something is causing the heart cards to not get it and sjust says error

    key = 'mildsalsa',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Mild Salsa',
        text = {
            'Every played {C:hearts}#2#{} cards',
            'permanently gains',
            '{C:mult}+#1#{} Mult when scored',
        },
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 5,
    unlocked = true,

    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context .cardarea == G.play
            and context.other_card:is_suit(card.ability.extra.suit) then 
            context.other_card.perma_mult = (context.other_card.ability.perma_mult or 0) +
                card.ability.extra.mult
            return {

                colour = G.C.RED
            }
        end
    end,
}```

the jokers function is mixed with lusty joker and hiker

[mystic river]

these are not the same
you should make them the same

[hasty kelp]

thanks for the help

[glad osprey]

chat what colour do you all think time would be

[granite bane]

question, why does

            if G.playing_cards[i]:get_id() == 10 then
                    G.playing_cards[i]:set_base(G.P_CARDS["D" .. "_" .. 10])```
not work but

  ```         if G.playing_cards[i]:get_id() == 9 then
                    G.playing_cards[i]:set_base(G.P_CARDS["S" .. "_" .. 9])```

works?

[red flower]

the card key for rank 10 is T

[granite bane]

Is T in quotes? or just T

like "T" or T

[red flower]

in quotes

without it would be a variable

[hushed field]

Was there a way to change the menu swirl's colours that keeps other mods in mind? Or is it mostly just a free for all brawl?

[modern kindle]

Thats a great question actually, I never considered it and realized it must be a brawl

[frosty rampart]

yea pretty much just a free for all thing
i could integrate it into my current_mod.menu_cards PR tho 🤔

[ripe thicket]

I've been trying to make a spectral card with a second layer like the soul card but I havent been able to get the second layer to show up using soul_pos

[daring fern]

Code?

[slim ferry]

what do you have soul_pos set as

[slim ferry]

it should just be 1 greater x than regular pos

thats quite strange

[mystic river]

just to double check, you've got the soul image in both your 1x and 2x atlas files?

[ripe thicket]

I dont

[frosty rampart]

that would be the issue

[ripe thicket]

is that what the problem's from?

[frosty rampart]

if you have pixel smoothing turned on in the game settings, it loads the 2x files. if you have it turned off, it loads the 1x files

[ripe thicket]

I have it turned off

[frosty rampart]

you should have it in both regardless

[ripe thicket]

yeah I'll still try it

Adding the 2x atlas file didn't fix it

[ripe thicket]

I finally got it to work....

[slim ferry]

what was the issue

[gusty pumice]

is there a way to make a sound's pitch not be affected by a hand speeding up?

[frosty rampart]

prrrrobably by manually calling play_sound in an event instead of putting the sound in the return table
(don't quote me on that it's just a hunch)

[daring fern]

Yes, you would use play_sound in an event in a func in the return.

[gusty pumice]

tanks :3

[tranquil cypress]

How would one get if a card (any card) is created by a Joker?

[red flower]

you can't

the closest would be to check the seeds one by one

but that wont have mod compat

[tranquil cypress]

oh right

thank you

[shell timber]

how would i suppress the "hand limit is below X" message from the smods hand limit api?

wait nvm im stupid

[ripe thicket]

how do I get the key of a selected joker?

[red flower]

selected as in highlighted or as in you have the card object

[ripe thicket]

selected like the card object in game

[faint yacht]

seljoker.config.center_key

[red flower]

G.jokers.highlighted[1].config.center_key?

[ripe thicket]

ah I was missing the .config.center_key

it works now!

[glad osprey]

how do sprites work, id like to add one just sorta chilling in the bg

[lyric wadi]

je;p[ what did i set up wrong ? description doesnt show in game and seal functionalit doesnt seems to be working

[glad osprey]

oh god not the seals

those are like strangely hard to work with

[daring fern]

It should be context.main_scoring not context.individual

[glad osprey]

chat what do i add a sprite to in order for it to be always drawn

[sturdy compass]

This is super weird, looks correct to me

Oh wait is your Other category under descriptions?

[sturdy compass]

@lyric wadi this might be your issue

[frosty rampart]

yea that looks like the issue, it's currently on the same level as the misc table which means it's probably outside the descriptions table

[glad osprey]

who here knows how sprites work

[sturdy compass]

I kinda do

[glad osprey]

i need to have a sprite positioned at the center of the screen

but still be able to move it

[sturdy compass]

Lucky for you, SMODS.create_sprite exists now

[glad osprey]

where do i learn more about this

[sturdy compass]

Most recent SMODS patch notes

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/1221a

[glad osprey]

how do i have that stick to the middle of the screen tho

[sturdy compass]

Honestly good question lol

[glad osprey]

bruh

this is how i imagine you read my first question

[frosty rampart]

the Partners mod is probably a good place to look? partners spawn at the start of the game in a specific spot, they're draggable, and they persist for the whole run

[white hull]

What exactly does enabling the optional cardareas do? You can still access G.deck and iterate through G.deck.cards without the optional deck cardarea being enabled, right?

[frosty rampart]

enabling the optional cardareas allows cards to calculate from those areas (e.g. an enhancement that scales whenever something happens even if you haven't drawn it yet or even if you've already discarded it)

[white hull]

Oh interesting

[red flower]

you can just create the sprite object and it should appear on the screen im pretty sure

the constructor has an x, y argument

if you want to make it draggable i would look into hotpot's ads probably

[glad osprey]

ahem

i want it positioned at the center of the screen

like

in the middle of it

[white hull]

Do I need to do anything fancy to have multiple files with lovely patches or do I just put them all in a lovely folder and they'll all load automatically?

[sturdy compass]

Like N said, sprites have x and y values that you can manipulate

[glad osprey]

how do i get the x and y values that correspond to the center of the screen

[lament agate]

i'd look into washee washee's code from yahimod

[red flower]

that's a different question
probably G.ROOM.T.w /2?
also T.h?

[red flower]

its automatic yeah

[glad osprey]

ill save yall the trouble, ive got it (i think), you just need to take half of G.ROOM's width/height and add G.ROOMS x/y to it (for some reason)

[white hull]

Nice

[glad osprey]

now im having a completely different issue regarding making the sprite lmao

anyone know when decks are planned to get their update function readded

[final jewel]

ok so I have this calculate but the chips and mult seems to be reset after the upgraded I did a lil thing to walk around but it doesnt work sometime I think (some playtester said that they had lose some run because of that)

[red flower]

chips and mult are in hand_chips and mult, not G.GAME

[final jewel]

I mean my overcharge trigger for upgrading a random hand but it's while the scoring so the score that was already calculate get reset

idk if the thing you say @red flower fix that

[faint yacht]

If you're upgrading a random hand mid-score, but said hand ends up being the one that's played, effect of that won't be applied 'til the next time you play it.

Just call the regular level up function and it should just handle the mid-score upgrade of a hand, then return back to the values as is.

[final jewel]

like that ?

[faint yacht]

...why are you still setting G.GAME.chips? Just call the level up and that's it.

[final jewel]

oops

so without it it shouldnt reset the score right ?

[faint yacht]

Should show the level up animation and set values back, yes.

[final jewel]

ok I'll test it out

[faint yacht]

Visually something like such.

[final jewel]

ok Its seems to work but I'll test with big score

no it doesnt work

[faint yacht]

Tried to put such in an event?

[final jewel]

ow I could wait I'll show you a video of whats happening

it goes from 400 X 19 to 150 X 19

[faint yacht]

...that appears to be a sticker, why not do it under if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then or if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then?

[final jewel]

Cause I dont want it to be retrigger

[faint yacht]

and not context.repetition

[final jewel]

its cause I want it to be trigger after held in hand card and just before joker

[faint yacht]

Then it it's not being called right enough for the values to be restored properly.

[final jewel]

yeah the return cant work because its random hand and it can be 2-3-or more random hand

[faint yacht]

...well, technically, it can.

[final jewel]

it depends on how many overcharge you've discarded

[faint yacht]

Either way, you may probably need to manually save the current values, call the level up, then restore them manually, perhaps?
-# Or someone else will step in with a better solution- 😂

[final jewel]

but it could be trigger at end of the hand no?

[faint yacht]

context.after?

local levelups = {}
for i = 1, val, 1 do
  local ht = pseudorandom_element(hands, pseudoseed('okokokok123'))
  table.insert(levelups, { level_up_hand = ht, level_up = 1 })
end
return SMODS.merge_effects(levelups)

Or something like this.

[final jewel]

I'll try that it looks clean

yea it doesnt work either

[faint yacht]

...it'd be easier if that triggered after the scoring is done, why the specificity between held in hand abilities and Jokers?

[final jewel]

idk I'll make it after

[faint yacht]

Probably because doing the level ups mid-scoring doesn't reset the values properly. As I said, you'd need your own function to save the values, call the level ups, then restore the values.

[loud summit]

hi

oh

[final jewel]

yeah it work fine with context.after

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/1e7d0017eacbc2e4c308dd4b869a79158a25f819/items/joker.lua#L349-L432

[final jewel]

I just need to put and not context.repetition

Thx a lot @faint yacht

[faint yacht]

👍

[loud summit]

ok uh

        if (context.joker_main and #context.scoring_hand > 4) or context.forcetrigger then
            local eligible = {}
            for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.play.cards) do table.insert(eligible, playing_card) end
            for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do table.insert(eligible, playing_card) end

            for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.deck.cards) do
                if SMODS.has_no_suit(playing_card) then
                    local pc = pseudorandom_element(eligible, "nflame_buzzy")
                    SMODS.score_card(pc, context)``` idk why this isnt working

it crashes somewhere in talisman

[faint yacht]

...at least mention said crash.

[granite jay]

How do you disable all base boss blinds in your mod?

[loud summit]

it just points to a line number with no crash msg

[faint yacht]

Show regardless.

[faint yacht]

Huh.

[loud summit]

yea

ddoes anything stand out

is the issue that im passing the context table straight from the calc call into score_car

[faint yacht]

Potentially? Try saving context to a local variable then pass that instead?

[loud summit]

do u mean lua local ctx = context

or a shallow copy

oh it could also be an infinite loop?

[loud summit]

ok setting joker_main to nil fixes it

but also its not actually scoring the cards

[faint yacht]

Tried passing the actual context used for scoring cards, be it played or held?

[loud summit]

wdym the actual context

[gentle rain]

i have a mod that i last updated in july of last year

how hard would it be to update that mod to current smods?

it adds like 20ish jokers and about a dozen consumables

[faint yacht]

-# Nevermind, had a brain derp.

Depends on what effects are in said mod.

[red flower]

local add_to_pool_ref = SMODS.add_to_pool
SMODS.add_to_pool = function(prototype_obj, args)
    if prototype_obj.key:sub(1, 2) == "bl" and not prototype_obj.original_mod then
        return false
    end
    return add_to_pool_ref(prototype_obj, args)
end

[loud summit]

wdym

[faint yacht]

What type of scoring do you want that to do?

[granite jay]

Ah thx

[faint yacht]

Played and scoring cards? Held in hand cards?

[faint yacht]

Check the randomly chosen cards' area, then set ctx.cardarea = G.play or ctx.cardarea = G.hand respectively?

[loud summit]

ok

so like

if pseudorandom("nflame_buzzy") > 0.5 then
-- handle the played cards
else
-- handle the held cards```

local area = pseudorandom_element({G.hand.cards, G.deck.cards}, "nflame_buzzy")```

[faint yacht]

ctx.cardarea == pc.area, even, as you're directly checking played and held cards.

[loud summit]

oh

alr

its still not scoring the cards

            for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.deck.cards) do
                if SMODS.has_no_suit(playing_card) then
                    local pc = pseudorandom_element(eligible, "nflame_buzzy")
                    local ctx = {individual = true, cardarea = pc.area}
                    for k, v in pairs(context) do ctx[k] = v end
                    ctx.joker_main = nil
                    SMODS.score_card(pc, ctx)

                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            playing_card:juice_up()
                            return true
                        end
                    }))```

[faint yacht]

Not sure then, being honest.

[loud summit]

WAIT FREAKING-

the context copy clears the default values i think

[faint yacht]

-# Why aren't you just local ctx = context, then setting the ctx.cardarea?

[loud summit]

does that like make a copy of the table?

i thought it made a reference

[faint yacht]

context changes constantly. ctx would be static here.

[loud summit]

ok

also i think i have to set the cardarea to play?

copyying what ortalab wallet does

[faint yacht]

If you want held in hand abilities to score on a card, ctx.cardarea = G.hand.

[loud summit]

bam therre we go

[faint yacht]

You're doing scored effects on held in hand cards this way.

[loud summit]

thats what i intended

[faint yacht]

rescore implies additional scoring on cards that already had been scored respectively.

[frosty rampart]

yes but it also explicitly identifies held-in-hand cards as a viable target

[faint yacht]

rescore card in held hand would imply held in hand effects.

[frosty rampart]

"rescore a random card in played or held hand"

hm, fair

[loud summit]

rescores as played card?

[frosty rampart]

just "score" or "trigger" would be best i think

[loud summit]

ok ill replace "rescore" with "perform additional scoring" ig?

or

[frosty rampart]

i like trigger, although i suppose that also implies it'd trigger held-in-hand effects

[faint yacht]

There's a reason I separated such scoring to be either targeting the played and scoring hand or held hand.

-# Easier to write a description for, too.

Even I am having a tougher time trying to formulate a better description for Buzzy Beetle.

Also, that'd mean if the hand contained more than 5 cards and at least one card is unscored, that'd proc it as if it was scored if the roll lands on it.

[sturdy compass]

Probably not very. Most changes would probably have to do with patches which you can track down on your lovely logs

[loud summit]

oh uh im using context.scoring_hand and not g.play

[faint yacht]

Assuming that is changed for the for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.play.cards) do table.insert(eligible, playing_card) end line.

[loud summit]

yea

also whats the diff between "score", "rescore", and "perform additional scoring"

[gentle rain]

i see, good to know

[faint yacht]

For me, "score" is the regular scoring, but "rescore" and/or "perform additional scoring" I tie with effects respective of their CardArea.

[granite bane]

Is there a way to modify what jokers appear in shop?

[loud summit]

so "score cards in held hand" would work?

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/1221a#contextmodify_shop_card

[faint yacht]

On its' own, yes, but trying to fit that in same sentence mentioning played cards is a bit of a mess.

[red flower]

unless you mean if a joker can appear or not

[obtuse wraith]

Might as well try tackle my first code round, this is meant to be a finsher blind that has the player play the rank that most of in their deck, how am I doing rn?

[red flower]

thats a lot of red

[loud summit]

debuff_hand needs to be a table

[granite bane]

modify would work

How would I put that in the deck's code?

[loud summit]

hhhhhh what do u think would be the proper wording

[loud summit]

calculate function

[granite bane]

oh so calculate can go on decks too?

[red flower]

yes

[loud summit]

yep

[granite bane]

did not know that

[loud summit]

theres no deck var tho, its just context(self, context)

[red flower]

incorrect

[loud summit]

so you use self.config.foo to get the deck variables

what

[obtuse wraith]

Show me where to start.

[loud summit]

huh,,

[loud summit]

did u look at smods

[granite bane]

can i use context.modify_shop_card to change one joker into another joker?

[loud summit]

what are u trying to do

[faint yacht]

"If scoring hand contains at least 5 cards, for every Stone Card in remaining deck, this Joker scores a random card in played or held hand.", perhaps?

[granite bane]

don't ask questions you aren't prepared to know the answer to

[obtuse wraith]

I get some of it.

[granite bane]

nah but really

I'm just wanting to make a custom list of jokers that can appear in a deck

[obtuse wraith]

@loud summit where should the table start?

[red flower]

ok then it was the second thing

[faint yacht]

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

[loud summit]

wdym

[loud summit]

alr

[red flower]

use G.GAME.banned_keys to ban jokers

[granite bane]

would that go in apply

[red flower]

yes

[loud summit]

you can also hook in_pool if you want to just ban a rarity ig

[granite bane]

and do i have to manually ban everything

[obtuse wraith]

Again for context: "This is meant to be a finsher blind that has the player play the rank that most of in their deck."

[red flower]

yeah

[granite bane]

ughh

[loud summit]

oh you could loop over G.P_CENTERS

[red flower]

you dont need to go key by key if they have something in common

[loud summit]

and check the rarity of each one

[granite bane]

they do

[faint yacht]

Playing the a card of the rank that is most of in the deck... you may need the debuff_hand function instead of the debuff table then.

[loud summit]

well thats not a vanilla effect so you have to code it manually

yeah

finding the most common rank in deck isnt that hard tho

you loop over G.deck.cards and tally each rank

[faint yacht]

...well, G.playing_cards in this instance. Unless the remaining deck is implied.

[loud summit]

i assume its set on blind generation

like how the ox works

[obtuse wraith]

Guess I have make some code for the beaver to read the deck.

[granite bane]

would that go in the decks apply function, or calculate

[loud summit]

apply

its run once on new game

[red flower]

apply because you do it once at the beginning

[granite jay]

SMODS.Joker{
    key = "santile",
    config = { extra = {odds = 4, chips = 150}},

                    colour = G.C.CHIPS
                }
            end
        end
        if context.after and not context.blueprint then
            for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if SMODS.has_enhancement(scored_card, 'm_stone') and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'grasslanders_santile', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
                    SMODS.destroy_cards(scored_card, nil, nil, true)
                end
            end
        end
    end,

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'grasslanders_santile')
        return { vars = {numerator, denominator, card.ability.extra.chips}, key = self.key }
    end
}```
Anyone know how to make it so the stone cards have the shatter animation when destroyed

[red flower]

hook SMODS.shatters

[lyric wadi]

how do you add chip bonus to a playing card in context other than jokers

[granite bane]

is G.GAME.banned_keys an array or what?

[red flower]

the same way

[red flower]

nope G.GAME.banned_keys[key] = true

[lyric wadi]

im doing seal of hiking and it doesnt seem to be triggerng in game

[faint yacht]

...isn't it context.other_card?

[red flower]

its not context.card

its just card

[granite jay]

Ah ok

[loud summit]

oh you would want to check if other_card is card also

bc otherwise it would scale all cards in the hand

[red flower]

i dont think theres other_card in main_scoring

[loud summit]

wait isnt the scoring effect usually through context.individual

[granite bane]

so would it be this?

                    if G.P_CENTERS[i].rarity > 1 then
                        G.GAME.banned_keys[G.P_CENTERS[i].key] = true
                    end
                end ```

[red flower]

this is a seal

[obtuse wraith]

Let's attempt to have me understand on how to code a deck reader just to declare a rank for a bossy beaver.

[loud summit]

you want to check if its a string too

[loud summit]

just add it if its not equal to 1
