also i would recommend using joker blocks with the live lua preview on as a way to kind of learn stuff like this, dont rely on it fully, not yet, atleast.

i have no idea what to make them do 😭
also im cooked for the sprites dude
i can't draw for the life of me

what am i supposed to do

🤷♂️
that parts on you dawg
is it not possible to put any other if statements after if context.joker_main then? everytime i try it just says all ifs are unexpected
little fractal
hold on im probably fucking this up somehow
little fractal
putting the actual ends and stuff correctly
IM DUMB OKAY 💔 do you know whats wrong
little fractal
huh
slim ferry
you cannot put a block of code inside of a table
which is what you are doing right now
not all of the code should go in the return
little fractal
those usually have too much shit going on for me to even process im not very good at that stuff
slim ferry

i am now beginning to realise that this may have been a bad idea

same here i may be going insane

true
still im probably cooked
(i have no idea how im gonna make the sprites)
i don't even have ideas for what they're gonna do 😭
little fractal
how do i get random jokers (i have a random value already for how many) and destroy them? (i assume SMODS.destroy_cards(G.jokers.cards) plays a part but i couldnt find a comprehensible example on the vanillaremade wiki)
little fractal
i guess ill look again, maybe i missed something
white hull
Get a random element from G.jokers.cards, add it to a table
Then call SMODS.destroy_cards on the table
little fractal
yeah i have like no idea how to do that 😭 ill study up a bit and try in a sec
white hull
good luck!
wintry solar
you don't need to add it to a table
SMODS.destroy_cards accepts individual card objects too
white hull
yeah true, it just sounds like they want several
little fractal
yep yep
white hull
maybe not the best way to be doing this lmao
little fractal
hey as long as it works
i think someone would explode if they looked at these if statements lmao
white hull
hey as long as it works
i'm about to find out lol
slim ferry
maybe not the best way to be doing this lmao
Couldnt you loop over G.P_CHALLENGES or whatever its called and check if each one with your mod as the original mod is completed
white hull
Couldnt you loop over G.P_CHALLENGES or whatever its called and check if each on...
challenges don't have an original_mod field i'm p sure
white hull
I tried eval G.GAME.challenge.original_mod in the console
it's a nil
while in a challenge
slim ferry
G.GAME.challenge is a string no?
slim ferry
Does it give you an error or
slim ferry
yeah so try G.P_CHALLENGES[G.GAME.challenge].original_mod
white hull
G.CHALLENGES is a table
G.CHALLENGES[challenge_id] isn't doing the thing tho
How do I access......
white hull
a table of tables like this
slim ferry
Okay so it appears to be number indexed
But that should work for looping over to find challenges from your mod
white hull
yeah prob
little fractal
if context.joker_main then
return {
random = pseudorandom("mod_somerandomseed", 1, 10),
message = tostring(random)}```
just has the joker say "nil", is this another table problem?the return table takes only specific values
random is not a value it can do something with
little fractal
damn
white hull
you'll want to specify local random = pseudorandom("mod_somerandomseed", 1, 10) before the return table
so it's an estabilished variable
little fractal
ahh ok
white hull
then the table's message value - which it can work with - can take your local variable
slim ferry
```calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.joker_main then
...
What are you trying to achieve
Oh wait yeah
Nvm
little fractal
the message thing is just a debug
slim ferry
Random outside the table ya
little fractal
oh god damn it i have so many of these
okayyy so my randoms pick random jokers, but i cant use G.GAME outside of a return table, so I cant predefine the random functions.
do i need to make them local? if so, it just says its an undefined global

i'm not sure what you're having a problem with
can you show the code?
slim ferry

This is just the game not being in your vscode library so it doesnt know the functions exist
Also wdym you cant use G.GAME

thats what i thought

i cant use any of it outside of the jokers return function

what are you even doing
trying to get a random joker
random_joker1 = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, "MOD_randomJoker1")
and i cant use random inside of a return table, but i cant use anything under G outside of a return table (when they were inside, the game actually opened, but didnt give any random values)
slim ferry
show the codep
because it appears that you are just putting the code outside of the joker as a whole
Which does not work
little fractal
im putting them with the atlas and pool and stuff
slim ferry
jus show the code
tulip pecan
softlock should go outside of config
SMODS.add_card({ set = 'uma_Planet' }) is still adding softlocked cards
tulip pecan
`SMODS.add_card({ set = 'uma_Planet' })` is still adding softlocked cards
I've also added my own planet card to the normal Planet pool, and softlock = true still works inside the config line
slim ferry
Huh
Okay i forget if its hardcoded to check if the softlock card is a planet
Check get_current_pool in vannilla

Check get_current_pool in vannilla
I'm not sure how I'm formatting this line wrong

for getting "every unique rank" in a hand, should i use get_id() or base.value

Quick question, how would I choose a random card from a consumable set with a key of uma_Planet, preferrably using the get_current_pool() function? otherwise it just ignores the fact that some cards are softlocked and still makes them while using SMODS.add_card({ set = 'uma_Planet' })

How do you write a compat check
Rejok is too complicated rn so I want it to have a compat check

So for some reason, despite cards 10 - 12 being softlocked in the code, they still show up in the list. I used to have softlock = true inside of config = {}, but that didn't seem to help either.

red flower
ah it only checks softlock if it's the set planet

do stone card keeps the id or it change
not (context.other_card:get_id() > 10 and context.other_card:get_id() < 14) I tried that but it doesnt work

you can add G.GAME.hands[v.config.hand_type].played > 0 to in_pool

you dont need to check if the other card can calculate smods already does
i dont see how it's adding extras tho
rapid stag
yeah - like, i based this off of vanillaremade's 8ball
the only thing i can think of is that i'm not adding to the consumable buffer
OH
when you take ownership of a joker and add a calculate function, the original calculate still runs
it might have done the one i wrote, plus its original calculate
red flower
ah yeah
rapid stag
how do i make it not do that
tulip pecan
you can add `G.GAME.hands[v.config.hand_type].played > 0` to in_pool
How would I create the v value that in_pool now references since in_pool won't let me reference card for the hand type?

I'm having trouble getting pools to work where I want to make a custom tarot that only spawns in the joker from a pool but I can't tell why it is spawning any joker still. I've got this but I think something is wrong, do I need to enable pools elsewhere? SMODS.add_card({ set = 'Joker', pools = "Hamburger" })

Inside the loc_vars = function() of a consumable card, would it be possible to reference the default config options for a joker? I basically have config = { extra = {stat1, stat2, stat3} } inside a joker and I want to be able to access those default values within a consumable card to use

Btw I don't think it's terribly broken unless you are exclusively comparing it to base game, perhaps if you felt you wanted to balance it a bit more you could make it a chance that it will apply another seal (but still guaranteed to give a spectral), stopping it from going infinite while also giving more support for the GOAT Oops all sixes
Imma be honest even a 4/5 odds to spread would do wonders (in my opinion)
slim ferry

The default card of a pool will always spawn if no cards in the pool can currently spawn
So you should do something to make the set not spawn at all if the pool would be empty

tulip pecan
Yeah
is there an optimal place I can put my function to check whether a joker is present or not? that would be my trigger and I don't think I can just put the code in the joker, since once you sell the joker it probably wouldn't turn off since there's no code to run

your image is probably just white there then
dusk sonnet
wind steppe
you need to put art there for it to show up
dusk sonnet
no i have art in my folder for it
wind steppe
show image
wind steppe
pos should be 0, 0 not 1, 0
wind steppe
also why not reuse the same atlas for both
wind steppe
and sword's should be 1, 0 not 0, 0?
no
dusk sonnet
oh

theyre both 0, 0 because its the top left

if you combined the atlases one would be 0, 0 and one would be 1, 0

thick drift
So, don't know if this might be related to something else that might have been messed up from my issue last night with accidentally refactoring G.jokers across way too many files (I've already redownloaded lovely and smods), but now I'm having an issue where the game crashes once I try to spawn a Photograph at the end of the round using another joker. This does not happen with another mod joker that I have that spawns mod jokers at the start of a round, and it's not happening with Judgement either. I have yet to do rigorous testing for this issue on other jokers that spawn jokers, but the traceback places the source of the error at engine/object.lua , so I'm not sure if this is an issue on my end or if something is corrupted in my game files. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

im trying to re-implement some of the pseudorandom code in a different programming language (rust) and was able to at least attempt to translate some of it, but specifically the calls that look like pseudorandom_element(..., pseudoseed(...)) give me trouble, as pseudoseed returns a float between zero and one, but the second parameter to the pseudorandom element chooser is passed to math.randomseed which usually only accepts integers and according to this reddit thread is a function that works different in LuaJIT. I've just been replacing the calls to math.randomseed with rand::StdRng in rust, but that only works with u64 (integers and not floats).

@loud crescent sitting down for a second and reading up, it seems like you're running into the same problem I did. Essentially, luajit provides a random seeding function that doesn't conform to the same API as the C random seeding function that PUC Lua uses. Instead of taking an integer it takes a double. This explains the difference between PUC Lua (and the behavior you are expecting).

instead of it being a 1, it'd be card.ability.extra.something (where "something" is whatever you want), and you want to define something = 1 in the joker's config table.

cerulean aspen
(specifically, look at VanillaRemade)
return {
mult = card.ability.extra.hypermult,
level_up_hand
}
would this work for hypermult?
frosty rampart
uh no
remember, you have to return hypermult = { something, something else }
cerulean aspen
return {
mult = card.ability.extra.hypermult,
hypermult = { 1, 4},
level_up_hand
}
so this?
frosty rampart
no mult = at all, and hypermult = { card.ability.extra.hypermult, 4 },
now you can change the number at other timing during calculation
cerulean aspen
ooooo
how would i check for extra mult? or chips
like lets say that if i play a flush
frosty rampart
no need
returning hypermult = { 1, 4 } will always apply ^4 to the current mult value at the time that the joker triggers
clear ocean
working on it and so far everything else is working fine but noticed that it resets and applies a new seal when you play a card that already has a seal so added a check, but i guess i did it wrong. any solutions?
if context.full_hand[1].card.seal == nil then is the check
red flower
context.full_hand[1].card.seal

scoring calculations always modify the current score, it's not directly setting it

last thing before working on jokerdisplay which shouldn't be hard is "Active!" in a blue colour good for this kind of joker
thats what dna does but something like sixth sense does k_spectral
cerulean aspen
scoring calculations always modify the current score, it's not directly setting ...
basically if i score a card will it increase the card.ability.extra.hypermult?
frosty rampart
not yet, you have to code that yourself
again, check the calculate functions documentation to see how to get code to run whenever a card is scored
frosty rampart
thats what dna does but something like sixth sense does k_spectral
consistency with dna is good i think. my first inclination would be G.C.ATTENTION because seals don't have a designated color like spectrals do, but if jokerdisplay uses blue for DNA then you should use blue too

return {
vars = { card.ability.extra.whatever }
}
end
then in localization (whether using localization files or loc_txt)
do #n#
(n being dependent in what order you put the vars, so card.ability.extra.whatever would be #1#)

clear ocean
yeah like that also... also new synergy
just have scout before dna so it can apply the seal first before copying
i was inspired to have it as scout similar to how scouts get their badges
cerulean aspen
i dont know how you do this this is hella confusing
clear ocean
not sure if "scout," "scout joker," or "scoutmaster" is the best theme but i think this does the trick. i really like how this came out
cerulean aspen
any time i try to run balatro this comes up
SMODS.Atlas {
key = "niko",
path = "heisgod.png",
px = 71,
py = 95
}
SMODS.Joker {
key = 'joker2',
loc_txt = {
name = 'Niko who is a god',
text = {
"gives {1}4 mult, +1 hyperoperator when flush is played"
end"
}
},
config = { extra = { mult = yes } },
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
end,
rarity = 2,
atlas = 'niko',
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
cost = 2,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
-- Check if we have played a Flush before we do any scoring and increment the mult
if context.before and next(context.poker_hands['Flush']) then
card.ability.extra.hypermult = card.ability.extra.hypermult + card.ability.extra.change
return {
message = 'Upgraded!',
colour = G.C.RED
}
end
-- Add the mult in main scoring context
if context.joker_main then
return {
hypermult = {card.ability.extra.hypermult, 4}
}
end
end
}
this is the joker

^ remove the end" line in your localization
winter flower
also the {1} will just vanish because formatting uses "{}"
cerulean aspen
hmm okay
winter flower
and also the {1} has to be {#1#}
and the mult being "yes" will just lead to nil as the variable "yes" has no value
(or nil)
AND you don't have a config for hypermult and change
frosty rampart
yea why did you get rid of hypermult in the config 😭
cerulean aspen
heh?
i used this from the tutorial thingy calculate = function(self, card, context)
-- Check if we have played a Flush before we do any scoring and increment the mult
if context.before and next(context.poker_hands['Flush']) then
card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.change
return {
message = 'Upgraded!',
colour = G.C.RED
}
end
-- Add the mult in main scoring context
if context.joker_main then
return {
mult = card.ability.extra.mult
}
end
end
frosty rampart
no like here
you used to have hypermult = 1 in here, right?
cerulean aspen
no like here
you used to have `hypermult = 1` in here, right?
ohh no
that use to be like 98135769839832475912759871253981725
frosty rampart
instead of it being a 1, it'd be `card.ability.extra.something` (where "somethin...
i told you to assign hypermult to something all the way up here
cerulean aspen
thats here and here
frosty rampart
and you want to define
something = 1in the joker's config table
cerulean aspen
> and you want to define `something = 1` in the joker's config table
whats that?
frosty rampart
you should have this:
config = { extra = {
hypermult = 1,
change = 1
} }
to properly define what those variables start at. the computer doesn't magically know that you want them to equal 1
winter flower
ok im just gonna
cerulean aspen
ohhhh
winter flower
if you're still struggling badly i'm just gonna do it myself 😭
frosty rampart
i try not to just write code for ppl because i think it's important that ppl learn how to do it themselves
cerulean aspen
i dont code well even though im in a coding class in my school 😭
frosty rampart
otherwise they'll need you to write your code for them all the time
winter flower
otherwise they'll need you to write your code for them all the time
ok true
cerulean aspen
i put the config in and the game crases on loading
i replaced it for the config i had before
frosty rampart
ok well now you also need to update the loc_vars function, because card.ability.extra.mult doesn't exist anymore
and also put a comma after the last closing brace of the config
cerulean aspen
ok well now you also need to update the loc_vars function, because `card.ability...
should i change the card.ability.extra.mult to hypermult?
frosty rampart
think about what variables you want localization to have access to and put those variables in the table
cerulean aspen
think about what variables you want localization to have access to and put those...
wait whats the table?
frosty rampart
table = array = everything inside a set of {}
(technically table does not = array, more like arrays are a subset of tables)
frosty rampart
should i change the card.ability.extra.mult to hypermult?
so basically yes
cerulean aspen
so basically yes
would i do level_up_highcard to level up high card when i play a card?
frosty rampart
no
in the return table, have level_up_hand = "High Card"
cerulean aspen
no
in the return table, have `level_up_hand = "High Card"`
that makes way more sense then what i was thinking
cerulean aspen
no
in the return table, have `level_up_hand = "High Card"`
also for the display how do i do it again?a to make it display the hyperoperator or wtv its at?
cause rn i have this but it kinda dosent work
frosty rampart
read the localization docs again
you put stuff in the vars table in the loc_vars function, and then access that with #n# in the text itself (where #1# is the first thing in the vars table, #2# is the second thing, etc)
cerulean aspen
read the localization docs again
you put stuff in the `vars` table in the `loc_v...
vars table is the return { .... } thing right?
frosty rampart
specifically in the loc_vars function, yes
cerulean aspen
how do i call that function?
cerulean aspen
specifically in the `loc_vars` function, yes
wait like this?
frosty rampart
no that is not at all what i was saying
frosty rampart
how do i call that function?
you don't need to, you've already defined it
the game will call it whenever it generates the text in-game
frosty rampart
wait like this?
"gives [#1#]4 mult when card is played"
cerulean aspen
oh just that?
cerulean aspen
would i put n instead of 1?
frosty rampart
i put the config in and the game crases on loading
where 1 is the first thing you put in the vars table in the loc_vars function you have in this screenshot, 2 is the second thing in that table, etc
cerulean aspen
so 1 is self, and 2 is info_queue?
mystic river
#n# becomes vars[n]
frosty rampart
so 1 is self, and 2 is info_queue?
no
when the game localizes text, it calls the loc_vars function that you define. 1, 2, etc. is indexed from the values that are returned from that function
it can be any number of values
mystic river
vars being the vars table in the table you returned from loc_vars
frosty rampart
^^^
cerulean aspen
wait so would i put vars[#1#]4 or what?
mystic river
...
return {
vars = {
"this is vars[1]",
"this is vars[2]",
"lua is implicitly indexing these with numbers"
}
}
no
just #1# is all you need to access a var
i put the brackets there because then it'll appear as gives [1]4 mult when card is played in the actual text in-game when you read it
instead of just gives 14 mult
frosty rampart
i don't understand what you mean by "repeats it" but i'm going to say yes it calls a var
cerulean aspen

the "one card" in question should have a custom in_pool function that checks if the player owns the "another joker"
documentation source https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Joker
you don't need to worry about any of the arguments, just have it return next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_jokerkey")) where modprefix is your mod's prefix and jokerkey is the key of the "another joker". in_pool should return true when it's allowed to spawn and false when it's not, and SMODS.find_card will find all instances of the given card that is owned by the player

it's a step in the right direction

you fixed where it is but not how it's written

niko who is a god dosent spawn in the first place
he dosent spawn in the first place
reef bobcat
oof, ok so the joker is in but it isn't giving the +200 chips
frosty rampart
he dosent spawn in the first place
if there's no in_pool function at all, it just defaults to normal joker spawning conditions
mystic river
the docs just use that to tell you what your function should return
