[granite bane]

how

oh

[loud summit]

modded rarities

its really not super hard

[granite bane]

this would work but I kind of want to make it so that only the SHOP cards are limited this way

[granite jay]

Is there any way to make it play a custom sound or nah?

[granite bane]

(so not packs or tarot-made ones)

[red flower]

P_CENTERS is not an array btw

[granite bane]

oh

oof

well then how do I loop over it?

[red flower]

i dont think so without patching the destruction functions i think

[granite jay]

Ah ok

[red flower]

pairs

[granite bane]

that's not much context

is that after P_CENTERS?

[faint yacht]

for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do

[loud summit]

local ranks = {}
for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.deck.cards)
    if not SMODS.has_no_rank(playing_card) then
        local r = playing_card.base.id
        ranks[r] = (ranks[r] or 0) + 1```

[faint yacht]

Depending on how you want it changed...

[granite bane]

ok so will if G.P_CENTERS[i].rarity != 1 still work?

[loud summit]

yes

[faint yacht]

v.rarity ~= 1 and G.GAME.banned_keys[k] = true

[shell timber]

could you just change the spawn rates for the rarities?

[granite bane]

yeah that would be better if I can do that

Ideally I want the other rarities to still be available outside of shop

spawn rate changing would probably be most Ideal

and then rare skips would still function

[obtuse wraith]

@loud summit circle what shoud be changed.

[red flower]

G.GAME.rare_mod = 0
G.GAME.uncommon_mod = 0

[loud summit]

oh shoot i forgot to add the "do" and "end" s

add "do" after the ipairs call

[faint yacht]

debuff_hand = function(self, cards, hand, handname, check)
    for k, v in ipairs(cards or {}) do
        if SMODS.has_no_rank(v) then return false end
    end
    return true
end

as example.

[loud summit]

and two "end" after the ranks[r] line

[red flower]

this #💻・modding-dev message plus you would need to get the other rarities if you want to support mods

[lyric wadi]

still doesnt add the bonus :(

[loud summit]

well no they have to find the most common rank first

[red flower]

may i see

[faint yacht]

Don't think context.main_scoring fits for this, then.

[red flower]

can people follow my instructions

other card is not a thing

[faint yacht]

-# Actually, exhausted, that's me done for now- 😵‍💫

[obtuse wraith]

Ok, I might have made a mistake but did I do ok?

[loud summit]

wait you need to put that in a function

[red flower]

I would personally recommend doing something simpler to get a better grasp on lua first

[obtuse wraith]

Where?

[scenic ether]

hey i have some prior knologment of codding and i wanted to create a deck is there a video or tutorial where i can learn how to do it?

[obtuse wraith]

...yep.

[red flower]

Not really, you can find resources here tho https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349064230825103441

[scenic ether]

it seen i dont have the permition to see that channel

[red flower]

its a public channel

if it says unknown click on it

[scenic ether]

ok

[obtuse wraith]

You tell me @loud summit ||man this is going to be a wreck. ||

[loud summit]

uh

under pos put calculate = function(self, context)

and put another end after the last one

[obtuse wraith]

This is what it looks like now.

[loud summit]

no what

look at vanillaremade

[obtuse wraith]

Ox I bet.

[loud summit]

uea

[obtuse wraith]

yea?

[loud summit]

ya

[obtuse wraith]

...I regret doing this early. Give me a hint.

[loud summit]

do you understand context blocks

[obtuse wraith]

This is my first rodeo at lua.

[loud summit]

so function() opens a context

and everything between it and a end statement is in the function

for [] do ... end is also a context

if [] then ... end is also one

everything in the ... is considered part of that for or if statement

[red flower]

there's not much hint that can be given if you don't understand basic lua

[obtuse wraith]

Guess I have to insert "playing card" or "rank"

[loud summit]

what

[obtuse wraith]

Was I correct?

[loud summit]

what does that even mean

how much like basic coding knowledge do you have

[red flower]

I would really recommend doing a simpler thing, anything else is just asking someone to code it for you or spend a lot of time on speed teaching you the basics

[obtuse wraith]

Better get some hour of code thing at some point. Right now doing this is like playing The Lost without the Holy Mantle and having tears that move in a drunk motion.

[mystic river]

the red squiggly lines aren't aesthetic

they indicate syntax errors in your code

[obtuse wraith]

I know.

[lament agate]

what does glass_trigger do

[daring fern]

It is used to detect if a card was destroyed because it was glass and it shattered.

[glass scaffold]

Is it possible to have the game play a sound when some specific Jokers are held?

[granite jay]

Is there any way to make it so certain cards are added back to deck after discard/play?

[daring fern]

You mean you want to play a sound when a specific joker is obtained?

[glass scaffold]

Well, 3 Jokers, but yeah.

[daring fern]

Yes, you would put a check in each of the three joker's add_to_decks that checks if the other 2 jokers are held and then play the sound.

[glass scaffold]

And that won't trigger the sound 3 times if they're all held?

[daring fern]

Yes, because the other two would already be added to deck.

[glass scaffold]

Fair enough. Thanks

[naive agate]

how can I make a card have a 1 in 2 chance to not score (including from jokers and editions)

[lament agate]

can i use it to other types of card?

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[subtle hawk]

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

If you want it to be when the card scores instead you'll probably want to hook something tho. Maybe multiple things, depending on what exactly you're doing?

I kinda want to look into how cards score now lol

[naive agate]

gotcha

[round lion]

how do i make custom tooltips, vanillaremade only shows how to append a existing card's description

[slim ferry]

look at diet cola tooltip

or perkeo tooltip

[subtle hawk]

Perkeo has a unique tooltip?

I don't remember

[slim ferry]

Negative consumable tooltip

[subtle hawk]

How are hands on this screen sorted? Could I somehow get position of a played hand on it?

[daring fern]

Yes, G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].order

[subtle hawk]

Ty

[wild patrol]

You think this is good or should I change with where the cards flip back

Also thinking of adding random enhancements

[bold gyro]

how do i take_ownership of an object in order to remove it? i swore at some point i've seen something along the lines of SMODS.<type>:take_ownership('name'):remove()

[daring fern]

SMODS.Type:take_ownership('classprefix_modprefix_key', {no_collection = true, in_pool = function() return false end})

[daring fern]

[primal robin]

Add smal description what kind of issue in each message, clicking on messages and wait it to load sucks

[white hull]

Why does a word appear in the corner when you hover over a tooltip? Doesn't happen with tooltips from vanilla decks. Is this a bug?

[frosty dock]

yeah that's not supposed to happen. it's what we call orphaned text and it's fairly easy to accidentally cause

might be a smods bug, I'll have a look

[white hull]

My mod is the only one loaded in this clip so maybe a smods thing

And this happened with several other mods I've played, though I can't tell you which specific ones

[red flower]

does negative nancy have a tooltip for negative usually?

[white hull]

Yep

[red flower]

my guess is that it's trying to create that but it can't so the dynatext object is just stuck there

[white hull]

Sounds plausible

[slim ferry]

Thats just an issue with recursive tooltips in general for decks iirc

[white hull]

There was a mod that included playing card objects in a tooltip, and those playing cards would just spawn in the corner

[slim ferry]

Hex on ghost deck also does that

[white hull]

And they'd spawn infinitely if you kept hovering over the tooltip

[red flower]

funny

[white hull]

Just checked, nope

[frosty dock]

there's an old-ish issue that claims it does, but that seems to be untrue now

might be specific to things that these tooltips don't handle in vanilla

[slim ferry]

Huh

I recall it being a thing at least

Might be fixed then

[frosty dock]

anyways what are you even doing if you're not using galdur

[red flower]

there was an issue of some tooltips flashing for a bit that i pr'd a fix for

[white hull]

Would that even affect this issue lol

[frosty dock]

yes actually

because these tooltips aren't hover tooltips when you use galdur

they're just plain old tooltips attached to the main infobox

[white hull]

Oh interesting

I just saw this text in the corner fairly frequently when playing various mods and I never knew what caused it

Sometimes it would say nil or just like a random word related to the mod

But now I made my own deck and it's clear that it's an info queue thing I guess

[red flower]

not necessarily, it's just a dynatext that's orphaned other mods can have that issue for other reasons

in this case it's probably because of the info queue tho since smods changed them to have name styling

[frosty dock]

ok i think i see what's happening

this specific display is handled somewhere in vanilla code smods has never touched

that code, of course, having no reason for it, doesn't support additional info boxes

[white hull]

But it also doesn't ignore them completely?

[frosty dock]

the DynaText still gets created, it still runs a full generate_card_ui after all

it just doesn't tell the UI to render them anywhere

[white hull]

Interesting

Why does it go in the corner though

[frosty dock]

because that's the default

[white hull]

And it's not like completely stuffed in the corner, there's spacing

[red flower]

that's 0,0 i think

[white hull]

Funky

[frosty dock]

of course there's spacing

the UI element has spacing around it

as it would otherwise have too

the only difference is that we didn't tell it where to go

so it went to the corner instead

it's not fully inside the corner because both locations are based on top-left corners, i think

[white hull]

Interesting :P

[frosty dock]

anyhow I'll track this as an issue on the smods repo for now

not gonna be top priority since it only occurs when you for some reason don't use galdur

[white hull]

Lol good to know, thank you

[frosty dock]

also i guess i can close #1010 now, which I didn't notice before

[wanton jolt]

card.context.after is after scoring right

[slim ferry]

its just context.after

But yes

[wanton jolt]

right right

idk why i typed card here

whats the order of activation between context.after and context.joker_main

[red flower]

joker first after after

:3

[slim ferry]

between those context.final_scoring_step

[red flower]

they should be ordered in the contexts page

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions#main-scoring-contexts

[wanton jolt]

and the game ends after that

[red flower]

scoring? yes

[wanton jolt]

after context.after

[red flower]

yeah thats the last context in scoring

[wanton jolt]

ok cool

[slim ferry]

Isnt context.destroy_card after that too

[red flower]

destroy_card is just before after iirc

[slim ferry]

I dont think so?

I use context.after to mark cards to be destroyed for stuff that destroys random cards

And that works

[red flower]

im checking evaluate_play and it is after last

always very funny to see

[slim ferry]

Wait

Does that mean

That that just doesnt localize

[white hull]

how can i juice up the deck?

[frosty dock]

yes

[red flower]

you can juice up the top card

[white hull]

so G.deck.cards[1]:juice_up() ?

[red flower]

yeah

[white hull]

let's see

[red flower]

if it doesnt exist you can do the area itself too

but it looks bad when there are cards

[white hull]

Interesting lol

If I have a deck that starts you with a joker by specifying jokers in config, how can I guarantee that it won't have an edition?

[red flower]

i dont think you can

[white hull]

damn.

[daring fern]

You could do that, but it would be better to create the joker in apply

[white hull]

Just generally or is using jokers in config okay?

[daring fern]

No, I mean if you want the joker to never have an edition you would create it in apply instead.

[white hull]

Yeah makes sense

[white hull]

I like this function

🙏

[wild bison]

Hey, is there a way for me to check what rarity a joker has? I want to make a consumable that gives a joker of the same rarity of the joker you have selected, but I cannot find a way to check the selected joker’s rarity.

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({set = 'Joker', rarity = G.jokers.highlighted[1].config.center.rarity})

[wild bison]

Thank you very much!

[white hull]

Why does get_current_pool('Edition') also return UNAVAILABLE as an edition? Is there another way to get a list of editions?

[slim ferry]

get_current_pool always does this

things that cant spawn get replaced with UNAVAILABLE

[white hull]

It doesn't do this with "Enhanced" or "Seal" as the argument though

When I run it in the DebugPlus console at least

[slim ferry]

yeah because all enhancements and seals can always spawn in vanilla

[white hull]

So then what's this fifth edition that can't spawn? Base?

[slim ferry]

but edition has e_base (no edition) in the pool as well and that cant spawn from edition generation

yeah

[white hull]

Interesting

[red flower]

if you want all of them theyre in G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Edition

[white hull]

Let's see

[tawdry bloom]

im trying to make a joker that gives money at the end of round equal to its sell value, im 99% there but i cant figure out how to access the jokers sell value, does anyone know how?

[red flower]

joker.sell_cost

[tawdry bloom]

i tried that but it crashes

[red flower]

may i see

the crash and the code

[tawdry bloom]

this is my code

SMODS.Joker{
key = "myfirstjoker",
config = { },
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
rarity = 2,
cost = 6,
blueprint_compat = true,
eternal_compat = true,
unlocked = true,
discovered = true,
effect = nil,
atlas = 'myfirstjoker',
soul_pos = nil,

calculate = function(self,card,context)
    if context.end_of_round then
        ease_dollars(joker.sell_cost)
    end
end,

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { }
end

}

[red flower]

joker would be card in this instance

[tawdry bloom]

ahh

[red flower]

also do you want to give money during round eval?

[tawdry bloom]

before eval

[red flower]

ah ok

[tawdry bloom]

it gave me money but instead of the sell cost (3), it gave me ~50

[red flower]

you're missing context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[slim ferry]

does running table.unpack on an empty table act as returning nil

asking because im putting a table.unpack output into math.min and the table can be empty

[red flower]

seems like it

[slim ferry]

wait i forgor

i can just put it as the last argument and then it doesnt matter because there wont be nils in the middle

why the fuck is table.unpack a nil value

oh thats a 5.2 thing

silly me

[red flower]

yeah its just unpack

[mystic river]

if you just want to delete the UNAVAILABLE entries, there's SMODS.get_clean_pool()
it's relatively new; i don't recall whether it's in the latest release yet

[white hull]

Oh whaaaaaat

Yeah I don't have it in the latest release

So I guess for now I'm removing the UNAVAILABLEs myself lol

[slim ferry]

-# or you could do a little SMODS.get_clean_pool = SMODS.get_clean_pool or <copy of SMODS.get_clean_pool from dev>

[white hull]

I looked and my code is already basically exactly that lmao

It's fine

[tawdry bloom]

how do i set the edition of a playing card

and can they be negative

[frosty rampart]

card:set_edition("edition_key") (where card is the relevant card object and is probably called something different than card)
and yes, the key for negative is e_negative

[white hull]

and they're even (mostly) bug-free as of the latest release!

[ripe thicket]

I've been trying to make exponential chips but I keep getting the crash error that I'm performing arithmetic on global 'chips' (a nil value)
I basically copied what I did with my exponential mult jokers which work just fine so I'm not sure what's different for chips

[granite jay]

How do you change the name of a vanilla joker?

[frosty rampart]

it's hand_chips to access the current chips

[frosty rampart]

iirc you should be able to just add a localization entry for a vanilla joker in your mod's localization files
might need to take ownership of it? not sure

[granite jay]

Ah ok

Tho I do wanna make it a config option

[ripe thicket]

yup that fixed it. Thanks!

[frosty rampart]

ok so what you can do is have a custom localization entry for it with a different key
then take ownership of the vanilla joker, and in the new loc_vars function, if the config option is turned on, add key = "different_key" to the return table (where "different_key" is the key you used in your custom localization), and it'll use your custom entry only when that key is returned

[pastel hinge]

im using joker forge [im not good with code] and idk how to use the trigger for a 1 in 16 chance to gain a negative blueprint when a card is destroyed

i found out how to give but idk the modprifx for blueprint

im kinda new to this

[slim ferry]

its just j_blueprint

[red flower]

it should be lowercase, theres a list for the keys in the menu on the left

[pastel hinge]

do i just type in blueprint

[red flower]

try it idk

[winter flower]

type j_blueprint

if you’re using a modded joker then it’s j_(MODPREFIX)_key

[pastel hinge]

thx

where do i find the keys

[winter flower]

ie. “j_ocstobal_somethingevil”
ocstobal being mod prefix
and somethingevil being the key

[red flower]

left menu > more > keys reference

[pastel hinge]

found it

[gentle rain]

whats the variable for the current round?

or where would one find it

im rusty on finding stuff in balatro source code

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.round

im pretty sure

[gentle rain]

mhm

ty

[spiral mural]

how do i have dynatext constantly call a function for its text value...

[primal robin]

strings = { { ref_table, ref_value } }

as usual

note that dynatext does make own text smaller when longer text appears and there's no space, but not makes it back

[spiral mural]

wgat

[primal robin]

DynaText({
  string = {{ ref_table = G.GAME, ref_value = 'dollars' }},
  colours = { G.C.MONEY },
  scale = 0.3  
})

[spiral mural]

uh

this is the function i was calling

number_format(collectgarbage("count")*(G.GAME.round_resets.ante or 1)*card.ability.extra.per)

[primal robin]

ok one second

DynaText({
    string = {{
        ref_table = setmetatable({}, {
            __index = function()
                return number_format(collectgarbage("count")*(G.GAME.round_resets.ante or 1)*card.ability.extra.per)
            end,
        }),
        ref_value = "doesnt matter"
    }},
    colours = { G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT },
    scale = 0.3,
})

[spiral mural]

thankerss 😇

[gentle rain]

does this joker like. Make Sense to read

it checks your score at the first end of round, then gives you money at future end of rounds if you score less than that score

[frosty rampart]

I think it's more interesting if the condition is always based on the previous round, rather than the very first round you played with the joker

[gentle rain]

thats a good idea

[half peak]

I'm working on making my first joker and this is what I have at the top of the smods.Joker object:

   loc_text = {
       name = 'Bottom Half Joker',
       text = {
           "{C:mult}+#5# {} Mult",
           "For each empty slot",
           "In scoring hand"
       }```
which to my understanding is what defines the name and the description, however the image is what shows up in game. Where did I go wrong?

[slim ferry]

Its loc_txt

Not loc_text

[half peak]

OH, thank you

What's a good way to test it without resetting until I get it in the first shop?

[slim ferry]

Debugplus

[frosty rampart]

install debugplus and hold Tab in-game to see all the shortcuts

(including spawning jokers from the collection at will)

[half peak]

Ok cool, thank you so much

[spiral mural]

do vouchers support calcuate....

[frosty rampart]

yes, and observatory uses it in vanillaremade

[hardy vessel]

Is there a way to check when a joker is triggered?

[red flower]

context.post_trigger

[gaunt folio]

would this work to make a card immutable from what ive seen in previous messages? idk

[red flower]

i think it needs to be outside config

but i dont know how cryptid works

[simple hound]

hey guys is there a way to change the blind description mid-blind? changing the loc_vars doesn't update the text

[fallen topaz]

sorry😭

[subtle hawk]

Ok

[loud summit]

you can return { key = "some_other_key" } in loc_vars and it uses that key in the loc vars instead of the default one

[simple hound]

could you explain? i'm making a blind that debuffs a random rank each hand, and when it changes the rank, the description doesn't update

[loud summit]

oh

you return the card.ability.extra.whatver var in your loc_vars

[simple hound]

blind looks like this
the description says the rank is 2, but whenever the rank changes, the description doesn't

SMODS.Blind {
name = "boss_calculator",
key = "boss_calculator",
atlas = "zbsblindatlas",
pos = { y = 0 },
dollars = 5,
mult = 2,
boss = { min = 1 },
loc_txt = {
name = {"What is diddy blud doing on the calculator"}
text = {
"Random rank debuffed",
"each hand",
"{C:inactive}(Currently {C:attention}#1#{C:inactive})",
}
},
boss_colour = HEX('0e1330'),
config = {rank = 2, rankstring = "2", canredorank = false},

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
    return { vars = {self.config.rank or 5, self.config.rankstring or ":33", self.config.canredorank or false}}
end,

calculate = function(self, blind, context)
    if not blind.disabled then
        if context.before then
            self.config.canredorank = true
        end
        if context.hand_drawn then
            if self.config.canredorank then
                self.config.canredorank = false
                local ranks = getRanksInDeck()
                print(":3", self.config.rank)
                if #ranks > 0 then
                    self.config.rank = pseudorandom_element(ranks, pseudoseed("calculator"))
                end
                print(":33", self.config.rank)
        for i, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
            G.playing_cards[i]:set_debuff(self:debuff_card(v))
        end
            end
        end
    end
end,

debuff_card = function(self, card)
    print(self.config.rank, card:get_id())
    if self.config.rank and card:get_id() == self.config.rank then
        return true
    else
        --return false
    end
end

}

idk how to do the code thing style like the above posts

[red flower]

dunno how to solve your issue but you shouldnt save things to self

they wont get saved between reloads and they will persist between runs

[simple hound]

oh ok

can you post the full log pls

for the crash

[red flower]

no idea

make sure the rarity is actually 3

wait i misread

make sure it is "ecatto_handmade"

maybe the prefix is wrong

[midnight halo]

Hi, I don't wanna bother on this chat, or to interrupt anything, so I'm gonna be quick.

I am doing a retexture mod where the clubs are green. The thing is that the text in game when mentions "clubs" has blue color.

Is there any way to change the base color text for specific concepts like the different suits and else?

thank you :)

[faint yacht]

If this retexture is automatically applied with the mod, you could simply edit the G.C.SO_1.Clubs and G.C.SO_2.Clubs color definition, I suppose?
-# Just my two cents on thought.

[celest anvil]

it should be.

[midnight halo]

I'll try, thnx

it worked :)

[loud citrus]

am i able to take ownership of modded objects? i want to modify/replace objects in another mod (make a mod for a mod)

[daring fern]

Yes.

[loud citrus]

sweet!

[urban wasp]

does order work anymore? it doesn't seem to affect when the joker appears in the collection like in this

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "a_dragonfruit",
    name = "Dragonfruit",
    config = {
        extra = {
            nommed = false
        }
    },
    pos = { x = 5, y = 0 },
    cost = 1,
    rarity = 3,
    order = 1,
...

and then this

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "a_blueberry",
    name = "Blueberry",
    config = {
        extra = {
            perma_bonus = 6,
            perma_bonus_mod = 1
        }
    },
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    cost = 5,
    rarity = 1,
    order = 2,
...

dragonfruit seems to appear after blueberry in the collection

[umbral zodiac]

as far as i can tell order was never an argument for jokers in base smods

[urban wasp]

i must've been cryptid-pilled then

[umbral zodiac]

at least it's not in the lsp definitions

[frosty rampart]

yea manually setting order isn't a thing in smods, it's just ordered by load order

[granite jay]

I know this is months ago but this is painfully true

ugh

[wanton jolt]

ohhh you have to put a if

let me show you how i did it for lily's joker

[daring fern]

[long sun]

is this the best way of counting rares, or is there a better way?

function count_rares()
    local count = 0
    for _, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if v and v.config and v.config.center and v.config.center.rarity == 3 then count = count + 1 end
    end

    return count
end```

[daring fern]

Yes, change the if to if v:is_rarity('Rare')

[long sun]

thanks ^^

[junior tapir]

When I make a seal and put in the en-us file name+text in the Others table, the seal wouldn't show anything. I account for the mod prefix like I do for my stickers, but it doesn't seem to work like them

[long sun]

what key did you use?

[junior tapir]

for the seal? normal lowercase word

[long sun]

does it have _seal on the end?

if not, try that

[junior tapir]

still doesn't work

[past spade]

which of the 2 info boxes reads better?

[junior tapir]

I like the 2nd one, I'd add some color on 'retrigger'

[daring fern]

Code?

[wild patrol]

Remove the "thens" from the second one and second one probably the best

Short simple easy to understand

[junior tapir]

Lua file:

SMODS.Seal {
    key = 'stone_seal',
    badge_colour = HEX('99A2B3'),
    pos = {x = 5, y = 0},
    atlas = 'seals',
    discovered = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local odds = 4
        local numerator, denominator =
            SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, odds)
        return {vars = {numerator, denominator}}
    end
}

En-us:

(in descriptions>Other)
CTEH_stone_seal = {
    name = 'Stone Seal',
    text = {
        'Permanently gain {C:chips}+40{} chips',
        'when {C:attention}changing Enhancement',
        'Discard to turn into {C:attention}Stone'
    }
},
(in misc>labels)
CTEH_stone_seal = 'Stone Seal',

[daring fern]

It should be cteh_stone_seal_seal in the localization file.

[junior tapir]

well even if I remove the _seal in the seal definition file, it still wont work

the effect should be identical

[subtle hawk]

Are you 100% sure that you didn't misplace Other

[junior tapir]

misplace? it is in the Other table alongside my stickers' descriptions which work like supposed to

[subtle hawk]

Huh

[junior tapir]

I use the Other table for my sticker descriptions too

[pastel kernel]

do i write scored_card:set_ability('m_glass', nil, true) to transform a scored card into glass?

[red flower]

yes

[red flower]

have you tried all lowercase

[subtle hawk]

I dunno man, I copied your code (except for the label part cus lazy) and localization works just fine

[subtle hawk]

Their prefix IS in caps tho

[red flower]

and

in the code i see everything gets lower'd

[subtle hawk]

Oh really?

Interesting

[junior tapir]

yeah lowercase works on the mod prefix

[red flower]

thats what the docs say too

it also needs the second _seal

[subtle hawk]

#💻・modding-dev message

[junior tapir]

which docs

[red flower]

i read the conversation

i said also

[red flower]

smods.seal

[junior tapir]

that case sensitivity inconsistency throws me off. I could just make my mod prefix lowercase, but ah well

[frosty dock]

Oddly this inconsistency is caused by being consistent with vanilla

[quick scarab]

[tawdry bloom]

why does this crash :(
calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_suit("Diamonds") then return { chips = card.ability.extra.chips, card = self } end end,

[mystic river]

because self isn't a card in this context

[tawdry bloom]

and how on earth did i mess up pasting that lol

[mystic river]

just delete that line

[tawdry bloom]

is self the joker

[mystic river]

self is G.P_CENTERS[joker key]

in this context

[tawdry bloom]

it works now thx

[mystic river]

card is the individual joker object, when you need that

[median lark]

does anyone have an example of a deck that has boosted chance for jokers from your mod

[mystic river]

yes, i have one and paperback has one

[median lark]

may i see it

[mystic river]

https://github.com/wingedcatgirl/MintysSillyMod/blob/main/backs/silly.lua
https://github.com/wingedcatgirl/MintysSillyMod/blob/main/lovely/silly_deck.toml

it requires lovely patching get_current_pool()

[median lark]

right, tysm

[dapper sun]

how would i make an enhancement copy another card's enhancement

[frosty rampart]

like permanently replacing the enhancement or behaving more like blueprint?
the second one probably requires quantum enhancements

[daring fern]

local eval, post = eval_card(other_card, context)
local ret = {}
for k, v in pairs(eval) do
    if type(v) == 'table' and (k == 'playing_card' or k == 'enhancement' or k == 'end_of_round') then
        if not v.card then v.card = card end
        table.insert(ret, v)
    end
end
return SMODS.merge_effects(ret)

[dapper sun]

ty :3

is this supposed to be a hook

or does it go in the calculate func

wait yea it would i'm dumb

[dapper sun]

do u know why the 2nd-last card is the one being juiced?

also it's copying the chips not just the enhancement

[daring fern]

Try changing if not v.card to if not v.card or v.card == other_card

[dapper sun]

now it's the 3rd-last card

here's the full calculate func

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    local pos = 0
    if (card.area and card.area.cards) then
        for i, v in ipairs(card.area.cards) do
            pos = v == card and i or pos
        end
        
        local c = card.area.cards[pos+1]
        if card.area.cards[pos+1] then
            -- thanks to @somethingcom515 for the code
            local eval, post = eval_card(c, context)
            local ret = {}
            for k, v in pairs(eval) do
                if type(v) == 'table' and (k == 'playing_card' or k == 'enhancement' or k == 'end_of_round') then
                    if not v.card or v.card == c then v.card = card end
                    table.insert(ret, v)
                end
            end
            return SMODS.merge_effects(ret)
        end
    end
end```

[white hull]

Does anyone know why this code causes the first two pools to become copies of sealpool?

local enhpool = get_current_pool('Enhanced')
local edipool = get_current_pool('Edition')
local sealpool = get_current_pool('Seal')
-- Remove invalid items from each pool
for _, pool in ipairs{enhpool, edipool, sealpool} do
    repeat
        local restart = false
        for i, item in ipairs(pool) do
            if item == 'UNAVAILABLE' then
                table.remove(pool, i)
                restart = true
                break
            end
        end
    until not restart
end

[slim ferry]

ive had this issue before and i couldnt tell you what causes it

i think you just need to create and then use each pool one by one to prevent this

[white hull]

Yeah I guess

But like why lol

[slim ferry]

idfk

its probably wierd table shenanigans

actually

[red flower]

they use G.ARGS.TEMP_POOL im pretty sure

[slim ferry]

try printing sealpool == enhpool

bcs i think its table shenanigans

[slim ferry]

im seeing that in the code but i cant see it directly setting _pool as a reference to it

[white hull]

I've removed the first for ipairs() do part and just copypasted the repeat until thrice, nothing changed, so it's not that

here's the three resulting tables...

[primal robin]

you need to make shallow copy of each pool before pool another one

because it returns same object every time but with different content

[white hull]

Huh.

[white hull]

what does this mean?

[red flower]

you can use SMODS.shallow_copy(table)

[slim ferry]

SMODS.shallow_copy(get_current_pool(...))

[red flower]

why does it do that anyway

[primal robin]

because localthunk decided this

G.ARGS shoult not exist in theory, sounds like bad pattern

it stores too much stuff inside

[azure valley]

I was investigating the properties of balatro's RNG, and I wrote a short lua script to attempt to dump a whole bunch of random numbers to stdout to use with random number test suites. But I'm having some trouble getting the random numbers to... be random?

require "functions/misc_functions"

-- init the game object so that the pseudoseed function can work.
G = {GAME = {pseudorandom = {}}} 

G.GAME.pseudorandom.seed = arg[1]
seed_name = arg[2]

while true do
  rand_value = pseudorandom(seed_name, 0, 4294967295)
  print(rand_value)
  print(tprint(G.GAME.pseudorandom, 2))
  -- string_value = string.format(
  --   '%c%c%c%c',
  --   bit32.band(rand_value, 0xff),
  --   bit32.band(bit32.rshift(rand_value, 8), 0xff),
  --   bit32.band(bit32.rshift(rand_value, 16), 0xff),
  --   bit32.band(bit32.rshift(rand_value, 24), 0xff))
  -- io.write(string_value)
end

This script calls into the balatro RNG to pull random values. But the values I get are all identical. (I also patched the pseudorandom function to print out the current seed after it sets it.) The output when I invoke with randomness_test.lua TUTORIAL Tarot starts with:

pseudoseed:     0.42662880480655
random:         1693861772
  {
    seed= "TUTORIAL",
    Tarot= 0.8532576096131,
  }
pseudoseed:     0.3028680272979
random:         1693861772
  {
    seed= "TUTORIAL",
    Tarot= 0.6057360545958,
  }
pseudoseed:     0.08946579143175
random:         1693861772
  {
    seed= "TUTORIAL",
    Tarot= 0.1789315828635,
  }
pseudoseed:     0.22149368274415
random:         1693861772
  {
    seed= "TUTORIAL",
    Tarot= 0.4429873654883,
  }
pseudoseed:     0.4491510049583
random:         1693861772
  {
    seed= "TUTORIAL",
    Tarot= 0.8983020099166,
  }

As you can see, the pseudoseed and the stored value in the pseudorandom object are both changing, but the number output by the pseudorandom function is locked to a single value. Has anyone come across this before?

[primal robin]

do not post same message twice, specifically this big

[azure valley]

I'm deleting it from the other channel, because it's in the wrong place

[white hull]

Yeah this did the trick:

local enhpool = SMODS.shallow_copy(get_current_pool('Enhanced'))
local edipool = SMODS.shallow_copy(get_current_pool('Edition'))
local sealpool = SMODS.shallow_copy(get_current_pool('Seal'))

That's so weird lol

[slim ferry]

[white hull]

What does pressing B actually do
Is it just a faster version of holding R?

[red flower]

mine does nothing

[white hull]

I think it's a debugplus thing

I'm just concerned if it's a proper restart and it's safe to use for testing rng stuff

[wintry solar]

it is a proper restart

[white hull]

Sweet!

[red flower]

oh ok its because i have the ctrl setting

[azure valley]

originally, I was running this under lua 5.2, but then I looked at the love documentation and they use lua 5.1, so I downloaded PUC Lua 5.1 and tried it there, but it didn't help. New error with the integer version of things, (saying my range is empty), and additionally the floating point version still emits the same number over and over. That being said, I booted up balatro for a sanity check and it does seem to work there.

[red flower]

i was going to ask the version but then i thought it wouldnt matter

balatro is specifically luajit

[azure valley]

cool, I'll try luajit

luajit works

Thanks

[desert ore]

I haven't touch modding in a while and the calculate function page has updated to include SMODS.scale_card, should I change my cards to have these for mod compatibility even if I don't plan to need it myself?

[frosty rampart]

it would be good to do so, yes

[wintry solar]

it's up to you

[desert ore]

ok, I don't think I've implemented many scalers yet anyhow so shouldn't be too big a deal, although maybe it's because I'm not used to it, it seems a tad more complex

[wintry solar]

it is one of the less important things to update imo

[red flower]

thats crazy lol i wonder why

[azure valley]

my guess is that it has something to do with how puc lua passes the value to the C implementation of randomseed. My hypothesis is that (because the value is a floating point) it truncates it, effectively setting it to 0, each call.

whereas luajit simply pushes the raw bytes around, essentially reinterpret casting it to an int.

[ripe thicket]

I'm trying to make this joker effect where it takes the +chips and +mult from an enhanced card and adds it to itself
I'm just running into the issue of how to actually see how much +chips and +mult to add
I was thinking of trying something similar to how to get joker keys (using .config stuff or whatever) but I haven't been able to come up with anything that works

[red flower]

it depends on how you store them but they should be in wooden_card.ability.whatever_chips_or_something

[half peak]

Could someone help me understand what this means in the steamodded api

card_key: Used to create keys for playing cards, formatted like S_R, where S is the suit's and R is the rank's card key. Your mod prefix gets prepended by default."
I'm trying to make a new suit and ranks

[granite jay]

How do you get the base blind score for boss blinds?

[ripe thicket]

I just had to add .extra after .ability but after that, it worked!

[red flower]

in vanilla it would be like H_A for an ace of hearts
for your rank or suit it would be [mod prefix]_[suit card_key]_[mod prefix]_[rank card_key]

it can just be the same as the key

[vocal helm]

Is there any way to animate card positions with events? I have two cards I want to move together before they create a new Joker, and I know how to get their midpoints, but accessing their transformations has kept crashing for me

[primal robin]

if card in cardarea, then card's position dictated by cardarea

So you need remove card from cardarea and then you can mve it by changing card.T.x and card.T.y

And make sure to make card not collideable, so player cannot grab it

[vocal helm]

gotcha, I'll see what I can do

[vocal helm]

how do you check for, "if round is beaten in one hand"

[mystic river]

i believe smods has a flag for this, though i don't recall its name

[umbral zodiac]

SMODS.last_hand_oneshot i think

well, its for if the previous hand did the entire blinds score

but you can just check if only 1 hand was used in the round additionally

[pastel kernel]

how about "if round is beaten by first played hand"

[umbral zodiac]

i already described that

last_hand_oneshot tells you if the previous hand did it

if you want to see if it was done in the first hand, just check for SMODS.last_hand_oneshot while also seeing if only one hand was used this round

[pastel kernel]

is there a joker that uses SMODS.last_hand_oneshot

i'm gonna see how they work

or how SMODS.last_hand_oneshot works

[umbral zodiac]

it is a value and you check for it (preferably in context.after) to determine if the last hand oneshot the blind

[pastel kernel]

if context.after and SMODS.last_hand_oneshot then
SMODS.add_card{...}
SMODS.calculate_effect{...}
end```

[umbral zodiac]

yea looks good

[pastel kernel]

it creates 2 instead of 1lua calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.after and SMODS.last_hand_oneshot then SMODS.add_card{set="Infinity"} SMODS.calculate_effect({message = "+1 Infinity Card", colour = HEX('FFB570')}, card) end end

you could maybe try clarifiying the path when you create the Atlas object?

[north crescent]

but how would that work ? like with the 1x and 2x folders

[half peak]

oh thats a good point, idk then, hopefully someone else can help you

[north crescent]

alr, thanks anyways

[pastel kernel]

how do i make it so that ```lua
"{C:blue}Blue Seal{}, {C:blue}Bonus{}, {C:blue}Foil{}, and{} {C:blue}Club{} Cards",
"{C:attention}always score{} and give {C:white,X:chips}X#1#{} Chips"

[frosty rampart]

for the "always score" part, check how Splash works in vanillaremade
for the "give Xchips" part, that's just basic context.individual stuff

[pastel kernel]

no i mean blue cards specifically

i wanna check for blue cards

[frosty rampart]

yes
you can adapt the code for splash in vanillaremade to include those checks

if you don't know how to make those checks, that should be documented on the vanillaremade wiki

(extra detail- the context that splash uses runs once for every individual card in the played hand, much like context.individual)

[pastel kernel]

so i don't need to use context.individual?

[frosty rampart]

you need it for the "and gives Xchips" part, but not for the "always scores" part
you do understand that you can interact with multiple contexts in your calculate function, right

[pastel kernel]

how do you check for if a card has blue seal

[frosty rampart]

if you don't know how to make those checks, that should be documented on the vanillaremade wiki

[pastel kernel]

welp, time to test it out```lua
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.modify_scoring_hand and not context.blueprint then
for _, bluecheck in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
if
bluecheck:is_suit("Clubs") or
(bluecheck.edition and (bluecheck.edition.foil)) or
SMODS.has_enhancement(bluecheck, 'm_bonus') or
(bluecheck.seal and bluecheck.seal == 'Blue')
then
return {
add_to_hand = true
}
end
end
end
end
end

[frosty rampart]

this will not work

[daring fern]

if card:get_seal() == 'Blue'

[frosty rampart]

first of all, like i already said, modify_scoring_hand behaves like context.individual. you don't need to embed individual inside modify_scoring_hand, and in fact that will make nothing calculate
second of all, modify_scoring_hand behaves like context.individual. as per the calculate functions wiki page on smods, it directly gets context.other_card

[pastel kernel]

so make them separate?

modify_scoring_hand for the always scores and context.individual for the xchips?

[frosty rampart]

yes

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.modify_scoring_hand and not context.blueprint then
    -- always scores code
  end
  if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
    -- xchips code
  end

i need to make a local to use for checking blue cards

how about this?

        local bluecard = context.other_card:is_suit("Clubs") or
                    (context.other_card.edition and (context.other_card.edition.foil)) or
                    SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_bonus') or
                    card:get_seal() == 'Blue'

        if context.modify_scoring_hand and not context.blueprint then
                    if bluecard then
                        return {
                            add_to_hand = true,
                        }
                    end
                end

                if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
                    if bluecard then
                        SMODS.calculate_effect({xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips})
                    end
                end
            end
        

[frosty rampart]

this won't work because context.other_card isn't guaranteed to exist every time the calculate function is run

and for the xchips part you can literally just return { xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips }, you don't need to do SMODS.calculate_effect

but yes you're much closer

[pastel kernel]

do i replace bluecard with the complete check?

[frosty rampart]

yea

oh also it should be context.other_card:get_seal()

but once you've done all that it should work

[pastel kernel]

        if context.modify_scoring_hand and not context.blueprint then
                    if context.other_card:is_suit("Clubs") or
                    (context.other_card.edition and (context.other_card.edition.foil)) or
                    SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_bonus') or
                    context.other_card:get_seal() == 'Blue' then
                        return {
                            add_to_hand = true,
                        }
                    end
                end

                if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
                    if context.other_card:is_suit("Clubs") or
                    (context.other_card.edition and (context.other_card.edition.foil)) or
                    SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_bonus') or
                    context.other_card:get_seal() == 'Blue' then
                        SMODS.calculate_effect({xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips})
                    end
                end
            end
        

i pray in the name of lord ruby this works

bruh...

i'm certain this is supposed to work with cryptid

[frosty rampart]

.

i assume the calculate_effect function is crashing

because you aren't giving it a card to calculate on

[pastel kernel]

huh... that worked?

i guess you're right

sometimes return is good

it works

time to update the mod

[daring fern]

No, return is always good.

[pastel kernel]

fair enough

i keep hearing that SMODS.calculate_effect is almost always better

[frosty rampart]

where are you hearing that???

[pastel kernel]

jamirror iirc

there's a couple of other peeps who agree so he's not exactly the source

[frosty rampart]

it's only good for getting other cards to animate with a message when smods doesn't already handle it for you
smods handles it for you in context.individual

[daring fern]

No, you're only supposed to use SMODS.calculate_effect where you can't return or in a func of a return

[vocal helm]

I'm not sure how to exactly search for it, so I'll ask here; is there a way to make a joker mod-dependent? i.e. this joker won't even be in the game if this mod isn't enabled

(this is for a custom joker, not a base-game joker)

[marsh horizon]

I'm so inexperienced in programming that i was about to say "can't you just use an if statement?"

[vocal helm]

hey, you never know, that might be the actual solution

[marsh horizon]

try it ig

some shit like
if [specific joker] in [joker slots]
idfk

[umbral zodiac]

yes

dependencies = {"mod_id_here"} in your joker definition

[marsh horizon]

oh

[umbral zodiac]

note that including this will also make it display the other mod's badge when you hover over it

[marsh horizon]

theres just an actual thing for that

crazy

i am so stupid

[vocal helm]

thank you!
in addition to the dependency I was curious if you could enable/disable it with a boolean since I made a config for enabling cross-mod jokers for my mod

[umbral zodiac]

for that - i would recommend putting all of them in one file/folder and only loading stuff in that file/folder based on the setting

e.g. if modname.config.crossmod then ... end

it means itd require a restart to toggle on/off but i think that's the best solution youd get

[vocal helm]

yeah fair

this does indeed work, thanks!

[vocal helm]

this was still true

[umbral zodiac]

for sure

[marsh horizon]

oh wow

so i was still right technically

[humble apex]

Hi all, I'm trying to create my first mod, which aims to add various card enhancements as seals, and I have managed to get Bonus, Mult, and Lucky working flawlessly, but I am having issues with Glass. It for the most part works, but I cannot get it to proc Glass Joker, which is strange because the Lucky Seal can proc Lucky cat without issue. Attached is the code for the Glass seal. Apologies if it's a mess.

[daring fern]

Yes, ⁨shatters = true⁩ only works for enhancements.

[faint yacht]

If you want to scale Glass Joker with the seal, you may need to hook SMODS.calculate_destroying_cards and manually add .shattered to a card that has .glass_trigger set?

[daring fern]

No, they should hook ⁨SMODS.shatters⁩

[faint yacht]

-# Or that-

[pastel kernel]

how do you make it so that the first shop always gives you cavendish?

as in all the slots in the rerolls

[pliant remnant]

WHY does this return a number

[red flower]

# is the lenght operator

[pliant remnant]

oh i forgot to remove the hashtag

ffs

[mystic river]

alternately, make their in_pool check this config
then it won't require a restart

[open moth]

how can I implement Cobblemod's Foresight? By copying the related code?

[red flower]

I don't know what that is but most devs are ok with using their code with credit

[pastel kernel]

how do you check if cavendish is destroyed

or sold

as in an external joker

[red flower]

context.joker_type_destroyed and context.selling_card

[pastel kernel]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[red flower]

i also won that

[karmic creek]

[pastel kernel]

if context.joker_type_destroyed and context.card == "j_cavendish" then 
            end
            if context.selling_card and context.card == "j_cavendish" then
            end

[red flower]

context.card is the card object not the key

[open moth]

man, I tried and it failed

[lusty marten]

hey , are there any planet card template???

[red flower]

#1456650127300231240 message

oh uh

how do i check if the card being sold/destroyed is cavendish then

[red flower]

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

[subtle hawk]

context.card.config.center.key

[pastel kernel]

local key = "j_cavendish"?

[subtle hawk]

You don't need a local

I mean you can have it

But like context.card.config.center.key == "j_cavendish"

[pastel kernel]

ok hold on

[mystic river]

only if your next line looks like if context.card.config.center.key == key

[pastel kernel]

if context.setting_blind or context.forcetrigger then
            SMODS.add_card{key = "j_cavendish", edition = "e_negative"}
            if context.joker_type_destroyed and context.card.config.center.key == "j_cavendish" then 
                SMODS.scale_card(card, {
                ref_table = card.ability.extra,
                ref_value = "emult",
                scalar_value = "emultmod",
                colour = SMODS.Gradients["busterb_eemultgradient"]
            })
            end
            if context.selling_card and ontext.card.config.center.key == "j_cavendish" then
                SMODS.scale_card(card, {
                ref_table = card.ability.extra,
                ref_value = "xmult",
                scalar_value = "xmultmod",
                colour = G.C.RED
            })
            end
        end```

oh wait

i see the problem wiht my code immediately

it's in setting blind wtf

[subtle hawk]

also "ontext"

[pastel kernel]

saw

it crashed

fixed it asap

i don't like this method of scaling

also does joker_type_destroyed actually work

[subtle hawk]

Why, didn't work for you?

[mystic river]

think so
test it with the knife and/or investigate the code

[pastel kernel]

it says upgrade

so the context works

oh wait

my fault

i never wrote the updating text

[wild patrol]

how do you add an enhancement to card like say I wanna make a joker make a random card a glass how would I do that

I see hwo to check if a card has an enhancement

but I can't find how to add one to a card

[mystic river]

Card:set_ability(enhancementkey)

[wild patrol]

Why is always so simple

but just so confusing sometimes

lmao

thanks

[subtle hawk]

Would be weird if setting an enhancement was complex

[mystic river]

there are both benefits and drawbacks to code

[wild patrol]

it's not that I was digging around the tarots

trying see how they did it

but it looked more complicated than it actually was

[subtle hawk]

Oh tarots do that differently

[wild patrol]

working on a command for twitch intergration to let chat randomly make cards enhanced

[subtle hawk]

SMODS tarots I mean

buh

[wild patrol]

just like #G.jokers.cards

gonna assume #G.hands.cards does the same

as the number of cards in your hand

[subtle hawk]

hand

[wild patrol]

just hand or G.hand

[subtle hawk]

G.hand

[wild patrol]

ok

[subtle hawk]

G.jokers G.hand G.consumeables(why the fuck) are areas themselves and the .cards is the table of cards in the area

[wild patrol]

⁨G.hand.cards:set_ability('m_stone')⁩

so this should turn the hand to stones

[subtle hawk]

Funny to admit but idk if set_ability works with tables of cards

Try it

[wild patrol]

it doesn't

[subtle hawk]

Oh

[wild patrol]

returns a nil vaule

[subtle hawk]

Then ig you do a loop and apply the enhancement to each card?

[daring fern]

⁨```lua
for k, v in pairs(G.hand.cards) do
v:set_ability('m_stone')
end

[subtle hawk]

Ye

[wild patrol]

Yeah it worked

I really need to learn how thefor k, v in pairs work

I see it done alot but I just can't get it to click in my brain yet

[frosty dock]

tip of the iceberg thunkism

[frosty rampart]

because cardareas contain other information like the card limit, their position on-screen, etc

[subtle hawk]

Pretty much all you'll need to know is that it goes through each object in the table and v is the object it goes through

[frosty dock]

also that the order can be pretty much anything

if you want to loop though a list with numerical indices (aka an array), in order, use ipairs

[subtle hawk]

I know that I've been in this shit for some time already
"Why the fuck" was addresed to consumeables being spelled like that, it's been half a year and I'm still confused about that

[frosty rampart]

oh yea my bad
like aure said, that one's a thunkism

shoutouts caino

[subtle hawk]

caino is funny

[frosty dock]

gluttenous joker

selzer, even

[wild patrol]

well the basic setup is there

[frosty dock]

so like, crowd control?

[wild patrol]

just need to figure how to make it were more random

instead of just making every card the same

[mystic river]

for key, value in pairs (arbitrary keys, arbitrary order), or for index, value in ipairs (numeric index, numeric order)

this took me a while to figure out too

the index is just table[index] = value

[daring fern]

⁨```lua
for k, v in pairs(G.hand.cards) do
v:set_ability(SMODS.poll_enhancement({guaranteed = true}))
end

[wild patrol]

holy shit ur a god

[subtle hawk]

Somethingcom is very smarts

[mystic river]

also relevant, tables of the form {value1, value2, value3} are implicitly numerically indexed
it's the same as { [1] = value1, [2] = value2, [3] = value3 }

[open moth]

how can I add raw round score before the round starts?

[subtle hawk]

What

[open moth]

like, 100 points

[subtle hawk]

Blind requirement?

[open moth]

ye

this

[subtle hawk]

Oh that

[open moth]

yeah, I tried an addition but it doenst update the number

graphically i mean

[subtle hawk]

The number must be manually updated I think

[daring fern]

⁨⁨```lua
if context.setting_blind then
return {func = function()
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
ease_chips(100)

end}
end

[open moth]

ok

[subtle hawk]

Oh or that ig

Didn't know ease_chips was a thing damn

[open moth]

softlocked my game.

ok no its just that I suck

[open moth]

how do you add a message though?

[frosty dock]

just add a ⁨message⁩ in your return table

⁨return { message = 'blah', func = ...}⁩

[daring fern]

Put ⁨⁨⁨SMODS.calculate_effect({message = 'message', instant = true}, card)⁩⁩⁩ in the event then put ⁨⁨⁨delay(0.9375)⁩⁩⁩ after the event.

[frosty dock]

right, timing stuff

[open moth]

like this?

[frosty dock]

inside func

[frosty dock]

...

i meant the calculate_effect

[lusty marten]

hey, what is the name of planet font?

[daring fern]

⁨⁨```lua

[open moth]

thanks!

[open moth]

uhm...

[mystic river]

you didn't specify a card in the calculate effect

[wild patrol]

what do you think

I tried flipping it

[open moth]

so whats the fix

card = card?

[wild patrol]

but when I added another flip it would mes up

[mystic river]

wrong
}, card)

[mystic river]

see

[open moth]

well, youre wrong, card = card worked

[mystic river]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/b05e35cfb8ff58f37fe22eac9ae006a9125c5059/lsp_def/utils.lua#L194

[daring fern]

No, they both work.

[mystic river]

well that's odd

[slim ferry]

Well not really

[red flower]

theres this btw https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions#helper-functions

[slim ferry]

The second argument adds the card = ...

Which is normally done automatically

[mystic river]

smods does a lot of work to make card = card unnecessary

[daring fern]

No, it doesn't, ⁨effect.card⁩ is used when ⁨effect.message_card⁩ and ⁨effect.juice_card⁩ and ⁨scored_card⁩ don't exist when ⁨eval⁩ing a message.

If needed

[wicked heron]

I'm having issues issues with patching card.lua. I added a "Rank_bypass" function call to any Joker ability that checks the rank of a card (even steven, cloud 9 etc), so that if a certain joker is in play, face cards always pass the check.

⁨```
function rank_bypass(playing_card)
if G.jokers and G.jokers.cards then
for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do
if G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.key == "j_hft_gwynplaine" and playing_card:is_face() then
return true
end
end
return false
end
end

like this
⁨```
                if self.ability.name == 'Hack' and (
                context.other_card:get_id() == 2 or 
                context.other_card:get_id() == 3 or 
                context.other_card:get_id() == 4 or 
                context.other_card:get_id() == 5 or rank_bypass(context.other_card)) then
                    return {
                        message = localize('k_again_ex'),
                        repetitions = self.ability.extra,
                        card = self
                    }
                end
```⁩

However, this seems to cause strange behaviour on some of abilities. Cards like Hack, 8 Ball and Idol now give mult on top of their original ability. It seems to be equal to whatever card.ability.extra value they have (Hack -> +1 mult due to 1 repetitions, 8 Ball -> +4 mult due to 1 in 4 chance to trigger, Idol -> +2 mult due to 2 xmult)

Does anyone know what might be causing this behaviour? All I did was inject a Boolean returning function into the if statement of these Jokers.

[quick scarab]

I'm having a bug where when you load up a run in progress, if you previously used one of the consumables, the game would softlock like this

    cost = 4,
    atlas = 'Joker',
    pos = { x = 9, y = 2 },
    config = { extra = { levels = 0, maxlevel = 6, chips = 0, mult = 0, xmult = 0, h_size = 0} },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = "fnaf_bug", set = "Other" }
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.levels, card.ability.extra.maxlevel, card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.xmult, card.ability.extra.h_size} }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.using_consumeable and not context.blueprint and context.consumeable.ability.set == 'fnaf_item'
        and not (card.ability.extra.levels == card.ability.extra.maxlevel) and context.consumeable.config.center.key == 'c_fnaf_clearance' then
            card.ability.extra.levels = card.ability.extra.levels + 1

            card.ability.extra.chips = 100 * card.ability.extra.levels -- 1
            card.ability.extra.h_size = math.max(0, card.ability.extra.levels - 1) -- 2
            card.ability.extra.mult = math.max(0, 5 * (card.ability.extra.levels - 2)) -- 3
            card.ability.extra.xmult = math.max(1, 1 + (0.125 * (card.ability.extra.levels - 3)))  -- 4
            -- 5
            -- 6

            if card.ability.extra.levels >= 2 then
                G.hand:change_size(1)
            end
        end

                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult,
            }
        end
    end,
    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.h_size)
    end
}

SMODS.Consumable{
    key = 'clearance',
    set = 'fnaf_item',
    atlas = 'TarotFnaf',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 1},
    cost = 4,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    end,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
    end,
    can_use = function(self, card)
        return next(SMODS.find_card("j_fnaf_diver"))
    end,
    in_pool = function(self, args)
        return next(SMODS.find_card("j_fnaf_diver"))
    end
}

It's a card where when it's used a joker gets a progression point, where it gets some buffs

No, you should do quantum ranks like this until the quantum ranks ⁨⁨SMODS⁩⁩ pull request gets merged: https://github.com/Somethingcom515/SealsOnJokers/blob/dev/lovely/multirank.toml

All instances of self in your probability calls should be card instead

[past spade]

is there some way to have a dynamic amount of lines in a description? other than having an alt key for each one. Tried using a linebreak in a loc var but that doesnt work

[daring fern]

You would have to hook ⁨generate_card_ui⁩

hmm sounds spooky, maybe I'll just hardcode 4 different description keys

is there a color loc var tag like {V:1} for background color?

is there a way to make a hand not score randomly? (basically if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability hits the hand doesn't score)

ok ill try that rq

[vocal helm]

I'm looking at VanillaRemade for reference and I'm curious if there's a slightly less invasive way to ensure or append a card to a booster pack without taking ownership, assuming that it would no longer default to vanilla from there
I'm making a joker that ensures a specific Tarot shows up in Arcana packs; is there a way to do that without completely taking ownership for the sake of compatibility? i.e.

-- rough pseudocode
create_card = function()
    if has_joker and i == 1 then
        return card
    end
    return create_card

[red flower]

hook the create card function? you can also hook in a take ownership

[vocal helm]

take_ownership_by_kind was the example I'm working off

I'm basically asking if I have to re-implement vanilla behavior on top of the additions

i.e. stuff with omen globe and such

[red flower]

well you would need to do it individually but you can hook each

(and you can just do it in a loop)

[dawn granite]

you know sometimes i forget what i've modded

[vocal helm]

what would that look like?

[dawn granite]

note to self don't do plasma deck when testing this and accidentally clear the blind first try

[red flower]

-- somewhat pseudocode cuz phone
for key, prototype in pairs(SMODS.Boosters) then -- i dont recall if this exists or it's just P_CENTERS
    local ref = prototype.create_card
    SMODS.Booster:take_ownership(key, { 
         create_card = function(...)
              -- code
              return ref(...)
         end
    })
end

[vocal helm]

awesome, thank you so much!

[dawn granite]

ok, works
might've killed the run but works

i made an items folder with the jokers lua inside, but now the jokers file is looking for atlas in the folder it's in, how do i fix that ?? (prob a dumb question but i'm pretty new to this ...)

i had asked yesterday but no answer was given so i am asking it Again!

[wintry solar]

that's not how it works, you must have your code or folder set up incorrect. Can you share your code that tries to create the atlas, and a screenshot of where you atlas is in your mod folder with a folder path visible?

[north crescent]

this is what creates the atlas (1st image, this is in the jokers.lua file, which is inside the items folder), but what i think is happening is that the jokers.lua file looks for the assets in the folder it's in

[mystic river]

it does not

[north crescent]

ah

[mystic river]

what is actually going incorrectly?

[slim ferry]

what does the inside of assets look like

first of all

[mystic river]

you've described what you think the cause is, but you haven't said what the actual problem is

... actually, random question. what's the top of your jokers.lua look like

[north crescent]

i'm pretty sure that IS the cause (i might be wrong tho), because what i did was place a temporary copy of the assets folder inside of the items folder .. this prevents it from crashing but when i remove it this happens

[slim ferry]

it is not

[mystic river]

you know what. i can just barely see it in the first image. it's the steamodded header, isn't it
you didn't create a second file in the same mod, you created a second mod

[slim ferry]

thats just not how it works

oh

amazing

[north crescent]

oh wait i'm smart

how do i fix that

[mystic river]

use SMODS.load_file() in your main file

[slim ferry]

⁨assert(SMODS.load_file("items/jokers.lua"))()⁩

specifically

[mystic river]

also consider switching your metadata to json, the header has been outdated for very long...

[north crescent]

i had done something like that i think ..

[vocal helm]

I didn't realize "take_ownership" actually added it to the additions to your mod
is there a way for that to not happen

[slim ferry]

add ⁨true⁩ as the last argument

iirc

[mystic river]

correct

[frosty rampart]

outside of the table, yes

[north crescent]

do i remove the steammodded header too

[mystic river]

yes

[wintry solar]

the header will be dead soon also

[mystic river]

kinda surprised we collectively kept it this long

[red flower]

people want early 2024 mods to still work with new mods

[wintry solar]

it just stuck around for back compat afaik

[north crescent]

that worked !!! thank you all

[wintry solar]

but I believe zip loading doesn't work with it or something

[vocal helm]

thanks!

[mystic river]

they all stopped working by now when smods made some random change!

[red flower]

you can say that every two months and it will be true

[vocal helm]

super-quick follow-up to taking ownership of a booster pack; does this allow you to change how many cards it has to start?

[shell timber]

wtf how could they kill Jelly Mod

[slim ferry]

does anyone know of something i could reference for adding an additional counter alongside hands/discards/whatever in the bottom left

i tried looking at entropy but i just couldnt find it

[ripe thicket]

how do I get the current blind size?

[daring fern]

⁨G.GAME.blind.chips⁩

[ripe thicket]

ty!

[half peak]

I have a bug right that when you use a spectral card I made that creates a card of a 5th suit and custom rank (which are kept out of the pool) they are added to the deck, the total deck counter goes up accurately but the remaining cards goes up inaccuratly. For example it starts 44/52, use the spectral card then it goes to 46/53, when nothing was added to the hand, only the deck. Any ideas?

[granite jay]

How do you make it so a Blind detects if a Joker is triggered?

[red flower]

context.post_trigger

[granite jay]

Oh thx

[red flower]

seems like you're adding them twice. code?

[half peak]

⁨``` use = function (self, card, area, copier)

    if #exodiaLeft ~= 0 then
        local nextExodia = table.remove(exodiaLeft, 1)

        local new_card = create_playing_card({
            front = G.P_CARDS[nextExodia],
            center = G.P_CENTERS.c_base
        }, G.deck)

        new_card:add_to_deck()
        G.deck:emplace(new_card)
    end
end```⁩

[half peak]

theres the use function for the spectral card

[red flower]

try replacing this for SMODS.add_card { set = "Base", front = nextExodia, area = G.deck }

[rigid solar]

I've created an object type, but when I hover over a card of that type the game crashes because it's trying to localize the object

I can't find in smods' doc how to localize a new object type, if it's explained anywhere to begin with

[red flower]

objecttypes dont have localization

as far as i know

may i see the log

[unkempt thicket]

The Binding of Jssac

[red flower]

ah you also extended center

[rigid solar]

jimbo

[red flower]

that makes more sense

[rigid solar]

yeah i'm trying to make cards that go in a new card area

[red flower]

they should be under descriptions.tboj_active iirc

[rigid solar]

the gist of it is reusable consumables, but if I code them as consumables then it has many side effects (because I don't want them to actually be consumables)

[half peak]

That worked, was the way I did it originally having both ⁨new_card:add_to_deck()⁩ and ⁨G.deck:emplace(new_card)⁩ messing it up?

[red flower]

probably

[half peak]

oh ok, thank you

[rigid solar]

That worked, thx!

[half peak]

N' fr the goat rn

[red flower]

play joyousspring

[rigid solar]

now to figure out how to make them spawn in the shop lol

[red flower]

add it to this table

[rigid solar]

the rate should be defined in G.GAME.tboj_active_rate right?

like joker_rate tarot_rate etc

[red flower]

it can be anything since its custom

[rigid solar]

figured

was just wondering if it was auto generated in some way

[red flower]

not unless you make a consumabletype

[rigid solar]

inserted that with a patch (with 100 as the val so it's supposed to be very common) but it doesnt seem to be working

oh i need to change total_rate too

[half peak]

in the evaluate function for poker hands is the variable hand a table of all cards in the scoring hand?

[rigid solar]

most likely

so the card appears in the shop, i can buy it, it gets emplaced properly but it's not being drawn
any idea of what i'm missing?

[red flower]

the type of the area is probably wrong

[rigid solar]

it was "active" so yeah it was wrong, but I changed it to tboj_active and it still doesnt show

[red flower]

it has to be one of the vanilla ones

[rigid solar]

oh

[red flower]

like 'joker' i think

also theres a function to initialize areas now you dont need to patch

[rigid solar]

yup thx

[rigid solar]

oh cool thx

i copied it from multiplayer and they're patching

might be an old version of mp, idk

[red flower]

the mp devs are not very active around here so i just assume theyre not on top of smods features

also theyre always a version behind

[daring fern]

‎

[granite jay]

Can you make it so a Joker can bring played cards back to hand?

[red flower]

theres functionality for that in the next smods version

[rancid kindle]

Hey I might be a top 10 idiot but forever ago I made a mod that had jokers that did ^ mult, and now it just... doesn't work. upon research it might require stuff like talisman now, so how do I.... do that.

[red flower]

with talisman (I actually recommend Amulet now) you can just return emult = number where you would normally return mult or chips

[rancid kindle]

okay it's emult, cool

[rancid kindle]

is there a chips variation that's just

echips

[frosty rampart]

yes

[rancid kindle]

okay lets see if this works

[rancid kindle]

It did

While I’m at it is tetration native to talisman or nah

[red flower]

yes

[rancid kindle]

Holy I will be using this thank you

[red flower]

[half peak]

Is there a way to make it so a playing card can not be affected by tarot cards?

[frosty rampart]

i can think of a fairly easy way to handle tarot cards that specifically target the card, but not a single general way to do it for tarot cards that affect the whole hand/random cards (which doesn't exist in vanilla balatro, but something like familiar or sigil if it was a tarot card)

[red flower]

even if it specifically targets the card i would think there are many cases it would break modded tarots

[frosty rampart]

i mean i was thinking of hooking whatever G.FUNCS function handles whether you can use a card to make it just flat out disable the use button if you have the relevant card highlighted

[red flower]

yeah i was thinking that but its kinda bad if the tarot doesnt have anything to do with the card

or maybe you have a tarot that upgrades selected poker hand or something

[frosty rampart]

hm true

also like. using death to copy it

[red flower]

i would maybe do something more like the inmutable thing astra PR'd

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/937

[frosty rampart]

ooh that's interesting

[half peak]

Ok, ill take a look at that

the idea is that it is exodia from yugioh, so if you play all 5 you instant win the blind, and adding things like enhancing the card and changing the suit break it

it might be easier to change what I have so enhancing it etc. doesn't break it then just preventing that from happening

[red flower]

you can just prevent those by hooking the respective functions

[half peak]

oh ok

[lyric wadi]

does context.after happens before context.repetition?

[red flower]

no

[lyric wadi]

i fixed the crashign but now the seal is destroying itself before its effect activates

and then the effect happens anyway

[frosty rampart]

sounds like timing things, you probably need to put the destruction in an event

[glass scaffold]

Ok, really weird question, but:

Is there a way to play sounds whenever things like a new run is started, lost, or won?
Preferably without having to use Jokers.

[red flower]

yeah you would just need to hook or patch the places with the correct timing you want

[torn remnant]

im learning about making mods, whats the best mod for like a debug menu to spawn in jokers and stuff? i wanna test my first joker!

[red flower]

debugplus

[torn remnant]

copy, thanks

how does one bring up the menu in debugplus?

[red flower]

tab in a run, it also has all the shortcuts

[dapper sun]

to spawn in jokers you just open the collection & press 3 over the joker

[torn remnant]

ah, thank you!

[sturdy compass]

welcome to modding

[torn remnant]

i have to head to bed, but i tried this and it did not work. i was able to spawn in the jokers as mentioned by slimestuff, but no menu came up when i pressed tab

but i had to pull myself away from my pc, i was enjoying modding too much

[red flower]

hold it
