How can I look at all Jokers on start up to see if they have a specific atlas?

daring fern

Also it should be modprefix_atlaskey

Gotcha

Okay, now I have something like:

function Game:main_menu(change_context)
    local atlas_check = main_menu_atlas_check(change_context)

    for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
        if v.atlas == 'modprefix_atlasname' then
            local name = localize { type = 'name_text', set = "Joker", key = v.key }
            print(name)
        end
    end

    return atlas_check
end```
And now it is giving this error.  Is this a function error or a problem with the Jokers I am looking at?

That did the trick, thanks!!!

does anyone happen to know the key needed for set_scoring_calculation to reset scoring to default

#

does the apply function for a deck/back run when you hold R?
If not, how do I get something to randomize when restarting a run with R or starting a new run

daring fern
shrewd cobalt
#

Alright, thanks

bright ivy
#

How might I be able to make text pop up and say "Burned up!" when the card is destroyed?

frosty dock
#

also it has two identical conditions, so the second one would never run

#

fair, but it's a separate probability check

#

which means it's a 1 in 4 on top of the condition that the first check failed

#

which is actually a 1 in 8

#

my main point stands, don't ever destroy a card during its main eval

slim ferry
#

how can i prevent a card from juicing when triggered? i dont really want my card randomly jiggling while selecting cards because the hand would be debuffed

#

If people do need different timings

does it not fuck up the later contexts though

#

It shouldn’t do

i am so sorry if i put this in the wrong channel and/or if it's really off-topic, but, good morning/afternoon, i'd really like to improve my coding skills by trying to help people code balatro mods, i was thinking of a pizza tower mod, but all the posts about it are seemingly inactive, should i still try reaching out to the creators?

#

hey guys how do you destroy the lowest ranked card in the played hand

slim ferry
#

should i be using SMODS.ante_end or context.ante_end

frosty rampart
#

context.ante_end is a parameter passed alongside two different contexts

slim ferry
#

i know

frosty rampart
#

it's always just set to SMODS.ante_end

#

i don't think it matters too much

slim ferry
#

but SMODS.ante_end was created for the same thing because sometimes context.ante_end was broken

#

oh okay

backdrop_colour where

thorn ingot
#

in the sense of if there are more colors

slim ferry
#

what

#

wdym

#

Adding more colours or?

thorn ingot
#

Maybe? I thought there would be more colors in the base game. I got it from here.

slim ferry
#

Or do you mean what colours there are

thorn ingot
#

yeah that

slim ferry
#

G.C.SECONDARY_SET contains a colour table for every single card type

#

Including modded consumable types (the colour will be the defined secondary_colour on the object

#

And theres just a bunch of colours directly in G.C

#

And theres G.C.RARITY which contains the rarity colours

thorn ingot
#

uuu, okay. Will play around with it. But do you know if there is a list of them somewhere?

I am making a joker that turns shop jokers negative if you have that joker already in your bought joker area (Yes this is only useful if you have Showman). I cannot find any examples of code that checks for joker IDs in your main joker area, neither for all of them, or individual ones (Individual as in making a shop joker Cavendish turn negative if you have a Gros Michel). I am hoping to make use of both types of checks, but right now I just want to know if either is even possible. The negative shop joker part is simple, I'm purely stuck on how to begin comparing joker IDs.

what is over = true in G.UIT.O

fading rivet
#

that should be hover whoops

wintry solar
#

you need to give localize a table of nodes that it will populate for you

primal robin

this doesnt work for G.UIT.O since it dictated by object itself

So sprte should be hoverable instead

yea G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED is whenever any booster pack is open
here's what you'll want to do

if G.STATE == G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED then
  local booster = G.pack_cards and G.pack_cards.cards and SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER
  if booster and booster.config.center.key == "p_modprefix_boosterkey" then

end

instead of literally checking for "p_modprefix_boosterkey", you'll want to put in your own mod's prefix and then the full key of the booster pack you've created

Content in it, not column itself

copied from the vanilla one, but with original_sheet = true removed

(oh and it's wrapped in the mod check)

frosty rampart
#

i think maybe you wanna add keys = { "j_cry_joker1", "j_cry_joker2", ... }? and then you might not even need display_pos at all

long sun
#

oh hmm, so like, add the jokers manually

frosty rampart
#

i think so yea
are you planning to replace all the cryptid jokers

long sun
#

yep ^^

frosty rampart

yea i'm not sure if there's a good way to do that then without manually specifying all the jokers, sorry

#

ah eek, no worries

i'll complain to eremel then

thanks!

being able to specify a whole atlas to replace would be cool

yeahhhh it'd be awesome ^u^

judging by the way it shows texture packs, though, it can't do that right now

it might be undocumented

i know the answer is probably no but i figure i should ask, is there any reliable way to detect jokers that copy effects (blueprint-likes)

or it copies a joker like blueprint

no, like if a joker copies like blueprint

would assume so

u want joker to copy another joker like blueprint or

formal vessel
lucid owl
#

i already know how to do that

#

i'm asking if there's a way to detect whether a joker copies cards like blueprint

so i don't have to manually put in every single modded copier joker's key

wild patrol
#

probably make a check for SMODS.blueprint_effect and if it triggers do what u need it to do

frosty rampart
lucid owl
#

well i suppose adding a not context.blueprint should work

#

hmm

frosty rampart
#

yea I don't see any reason it won't work

lucid owl
#

idk why ihad it structured like that, im returning to half a year old code lol

#

seems like i had it the opposite before, it wouldn't match blueprint-likes but could be copied by them

#

now i'm not sure which to go with

frosty rampart
#

it's not like this card is itself doing a blueprint effect, it should just be fairly standard post trigger stuff

the idea is: 1 in 2 chance - > retrigger -> 1 in 3 chance -> retrigger -> 1 in 4 chance... and so on

Do quantum enhancements apply to modded enhancements, and if an edition is polled, can a card count as said enhancement if it's stored as an extra config variable?

gilded blaze
#

that would be called quantum edition and it's non-existent

oblique lotus
#

Is there a way through smods that you can change how much space negative edition gives, or do you have to do it with a patch?

gilded blaze
oblique lotus
#

Thanks a thousand!

vocal helm
gilded blaze
#

I took a look at how quantum enhancement works

#

Sand cards reduces xmult gradually

#

except that might not be the case if applied as a quantum enh

#

it's always X2 Mult with no downside

dapper sun
#

quantum enhancements are handled in a context thing, so you should be able to do it in an edition

gilded blaze
#

I'm confused

#

did the original question mean to ask whether it's possible to apply quantum enhancement via an edition

vocal helm
#

my original question is if it's possible to apply quantum enhancements for modded enhancements

gilded blaze
#

why not bruh

#

Ortalab clearly did that

vocal helm
#

i ask since my current implementation is very bruteforce and only applies to vanilla enhancements

gilded blaze
#

the voucher that makes 5 random cards in deck act as Wild and Index cards

#

that's a usage of quantum enhancement

vocal helm
#

how can i do it ina way that's not this lol

gilded blaze
#

what exactly are you trying to do

vocal helm
#

my joker is "stone cards additionally act as [enhancement], [enhancement] changes every round"

gilded blaze
# 
if context.check_enhancement and context.other_card.config.center_key == "m_stone" then
    return {
        [card.ability.extra.enhancement_type] = true,
    }
end
#

bruh

#

that's it

vocal helm
#

oh

#

huh

#

Wow, awesome, thank you

#

i didn't know that was a thing you could do

gilded blaze
#

any variable type can become a table index, not just strings

slim ferry
#

-# this is a string though?

gilded blaze
#

yea, I spoke it at the wrong context lmao

#

basically this is how Lua works

local a = {b = 1}
local c = a.b == a["b"] --true
local d = "b"
local e = a.b == a[d] --true
#

you can directly call a.b to grab the b index of table a
a["b"] also works
for more complex keys like strings that contain space, only a["contains space"] works

Yo chat

#

Suggest me a preview

#

For balatro

#

On mod manager

wild patrol
#

is there a loop funtion for play_sound

gilded blaze
#

you might wanna specify your sound as bg music, it does the looping automatically

wild patrol
#

using sync?

gilded blaze
#

sync just makes it transition seamlessly between it and the current track

#

it's mainly used for music tracks that are somewhat a modified version of Balatro's main track

wild patrol
#

what's the way to specify music

gilded blaze
#

define select_music_track field

#

it's a function that may return the number specifying its playing priority (higher is better)

#

here are some examples

image.png
#

key must contain music btw

faint yacht
#

path may not, though. fool

wild patrol
#

i'll figure this out more tomorrow it's late as is right now

gilded blaze
#

it's simply easier to copy key over if I set the file names like that

wild patrol
#

Is there a limit on how long a sprite sheet can be

#

In terms of width

#

Like say could I theoretically put 10000 jokers on the name line or would that be too much for balatro to handle

gilded blaze
#

the only limit I know of is your device's capability

#

i need to access all loaded centers, how can i do that?

G.P_CENTERS isn't working when my mod is being loaded

print(inspect(ghostcards_find_all_on_sheet("Cryptid", "cry_atlasone"))) works once the game is loaded, however it doesn't when the game isn't loaded

# 
function ghostcards_find_all_on_sheet(mod, sheet)
    local atlas = {}
    for _, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
        if v.original_mod and v.original_mod.id == mod and v.atlas == sheet then
            atlas[#atlas + 1] = v.key

the text in that same table is delimited with single quotes

yet it contains single quotes within it, which is bad syntax

you need to sub them for double quotes

thorny wigeon
#

As in " not '

frosty dock
#

yeah

#

for the "name"?

frosty dock
#

the delimiters in the text

#

text = {"..."}

#

-# Alternatively you can escape the inner single quotes with a \, just so you know

thorny wigeon
#

Interesting

#

Because this is working off a mod I downloaded to look at how it works, and that ones using '

frosty dock
#

yeah both are fine to use

#

you just can't have whatever delimiter you're using occur unescaped inside the string

thorny wigeon
#

Whats a delimiter?

frosty dock

by that I mean whatever you have at the start and end of the string

in 'text', the single quotes are delimiters

Trying to make a blind that makes your lowest rank held in hand give decimal mult, and I want it to give xmult for each card of that rank. However, it only works once. I would like this effect to trigger on every card if possible (another question is if I can use context.individual on this?)

    calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if context.final_scoring_step then
            local temp_ID = 15
            for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do
                if temp_ID >= G.hand.cards[i].base.id and not SMODS.has_no_rank(G.hand.cards[i]) then
                    temp_ID = G.hand.cards[i].base.id
                end
            end

            for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do
                if G.hand.cards[i]:get_id() == temp_ID then
                    return {
                        xmult = blind.config.blind.config.extra.xmult,
                        message_card = G.hand.cards[i]

                end
            end

you can use individual
if you want to keep using final_scoring_step you would need to not return in the loop

                        temp_ID = G.hand.cards[i].base.id
                    end
                end

                if context.other_card:get_id() == temp_ID then
                    return {
                        xmult = blind.config.blind.config.extra.xmult,

also the logic would be different

because individual iterates on every card already

How would i set up a legendary joker, I have the background and the joker face, but I dont understand what soul_pos does

#

Ik thats what I need for it to float off the card background, I just dont know where to put things to make it work

the background and the joker face need to be treated like two separate sprites on the same spritesheet. the joker will have its pos set to the background and its soul_pos set to the joker face

no, don't touch the atlas. just make icarus.png 142x95, and the right half of the image is the joker face sprite

really you should have all your jokers on one sheet, it's super not efficient to load a different atlas for each joker

ive been using lovely because SMODS is just so much more complicated and it's easy to just change the game code that i can see. i just want to change Superposition from its current effect to making straights wrap and be worth extra if they contain an ace.

in lovely i can just replace the game code. but i agree that the wrap around code isn't simple. so how do i highjack a joker's effect in SMODS?

no, your ui code

#

like for the box?

keen atlas
#

the one with create_text_input

#

yeah

pastel kernel
#

can you read it

keen atlas
#

yeah

#

do you really need to override the whole text_input_key thing

pastel kernel
#

it was suggested to me by cg

#

to be honest i'm kinda low on brain power

keen atlas
#

ill have to go too, soon

#

i might try later

pastel kernel
#

k cya

keen atlas
#

look at

.. (hook.config.ref_table.extended_corpus and " 0!$&()<>?:{}+-=,.[]_" or "")

change it to

.. (hook.config.ref_table.extended_corpus and "\" 0!$&()<>?:{}+-=,.[]_" or "")
#

@pastel kernel

pastel kernel
#

nothing

keen atlas
#

wait i can put quotation marks with that text_input_key?

#

u sure the init is called?

#

try adding print in the init

pastel kernel
#

like the corpus thing?

keen atlas
#

no like

    init = function()
        --some code to make typing more characters better
        print("init called")
pastel kernel
#

it's not printing

keen atlas
#

the init is not called then

pastel kernel
#

oh

#

well idk what to do

keen atlas

atleast youve gotten somewhere

🤷‍♂️

#

how do you load the file?

#

or just, dont put it in the init i guess

#

i gtg

pastel kernel
#

i'm gonna stick with the toml file

keen atlas
#

...k

pastel kernel
#

it works without it

#

but i'm still troubled with the apostrophe

and the quotation marks

unless somethingcom comes to the rescue and types in a behemoth of code for me to use, i'm stuck and stumped

local a = [[this is a string]]

oblique lotus
#

Here is an odd question. I have a Joker that has multiple forms depending on how it is gotten. It uses the key = self.key .. method of giving a unique description for each one. When I try to info queue the loc text for those forms using G.P_CENTERS, I get nothing in return. Is there a way that I can get those to appear?

gilded blaze
# 
info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {set = "Joker", key = "j_modprefix_key_alt"}
oblique lotus
#

Thanks!

gilded blaze
#

I deal with that a lot lmao

image.png
#

also

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {set = "Joker", key = "j_modprefix_key_alt", specific_vars = {--[[your variables go here]]}}
#

in case your alternative key has variable slots

oblique lotus
#

It did! Thanks for saving me the headaches!

oblique lotus
#

I'm kinda struggling a bit with the specific_vars. Imagine my default Joker has the key of "j_mymod_joker" and I want to get the description of one of its forms. So far my info queue looks like this:
info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {set = "Joker", key = "j_mymod_joker_key1", specific_vars = {5}}
What would I need to do to grab the variables of the base Joker to fill the variable slots in the description?

Would you guys know why this crashes? When I try to use the consumable and there is no more possible jokers to apply the perishable it tells me that line 37 is nil.

📎 summon.lua
#

The joker:add_sticker and I don 'know why

#

first time doing things with stickers.

gilded blaze
#

that is exactly what happens to joker when you pass an empty table to get a random element out of

image.png
#

it's nil

vital wren
#

i want to change Judgement from its normal create a random joker effect to instead immediately create and open a buffoon pack. how do i get the game to just make and open a booster?

gilded blaze
#

I have the exact card in my mod, except I have to do a lot of specal casing to make sure the opened buffoon pack doesn't corrupt another opened pack

image.png
#

are you sure you want that

vital wren
#

why would it corrupt other packs?

gilded blaze
#

when you try to execute the opening at an arbitrary time

#

e.g. inside Arcana Pack

vital wren
#

oh, do you just prevent it from letting you use the card if you're already inside the pack screen?

gilded blaze
#

that's impractical

#

and makes Judgement spawned by Arcana Pack completely useless

vital wren
#

oh right. lol

#

can i see your mod?

gilded blaze
#

the code that handles opening said buffoon pack scatters across the place, so I can't really point to an exact one

vital wren
#

i see

gilded blaze
#

this is the consumable code
it sets a variable to true

image.png
#

then hook Game:update

image.png
vital wren
#

question for a possibly easier solution for me. can i make a new tag that creates a normal buffoon pack and just grant one of those tags? that should just make it open the pack automatically once its safe, right?

gilded blaze
#

yea, that's the easier way

#

I chose the hard way and believe me, it's not beginner-friendly

vital wren
#

makes sense

thorn ingot
gilded blaze
# 
local joker, pos = pseudorandom_element(available_jokers, pseudoseed('summon_perish'))
if joker then
    joker:add_sticker('perishable', true)
    -- your next stuff

#

wow

#

didn't think about placing an if

#

thank you. let me try it.

vital wren
gilded blaze
vital wren
#

great, thanks

gilded blaze
#

wait wrong key

#

it's not the tag's key, my apologies

vital wren
#

it's "tag_buffoon"

slim ferry
#

It should be add_tag(Tag("tag_buffoon"), false, "Small")

#

iirc

gilded blaze
#

Ik what I'm doing, it's my PR to SMODS anyway

image.png
#

it's just not big enough to be mentioned in the release notes

#

if you're using 1224a that is

slim ferry
#

doesnt add_tag take additional arguments

thorn ingot
#

omg,omg.
It worked and I also learned that you need to put the end before the return.

#

thanks mr jonh

gilded blaze
#

no, add_tag only takes one argument, which is the Tag object
I expanded it to also take a table, letting it do the Tag init for you

vital wren
#

i'll just steal the code from Diet Cola's sell effect and change the key

                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = (function()
                        add_tag(Tag('tag_double'))
                        play_sound('generic1', 0.9 + math.random()*0.1, 0.8)
                        play_sound('holo1', 1.2 + math.random()*0.1, 0.4)
                        return true
                    end)
                }))
            end```
gilded blaze
#

that works too

vital wren
#

thanks for all your help so far

thorn ingot
#

Another question guys.

Do you know what's the info_queue for perishable? Can't find it.

gilded blaze
#

it's the same for every other sticker

thorn ingot
#

uuu, nice. Thanks.
It's not common to see it in mods.

#

umm, It makes the game crash. Do I have to enable something first?

#

Hold on. I think I found how to add it to the localization.

thorn ingot
#

Never mind guys.
It doesn't work if you put it in localization it needs the variable and #1# doesn't work. 😭

Thanks anyway for all the help you guys give though. balatroheart

how do you check for if a mod is enabled?

#

for an entire file specifically

frosty rampart
#

if next(SMODS.find_mod("mod ID")) then

noble ore
frosty rampart
#

what's your goal

noble ore
#

i just want to detect if there are other mods enabled

#

i still dont know what i want with it but atleast i know earlier than later lol

frosty rampart
#

if you want to check for if any mods other than your own are active, loop over pairs(SMODS.Mods) and check if there are any other than Steamodded, Lovely, Balatro, and your own mod

#

if you want to have any specific crossmod interactions, just go check that other mod's source code to find its mod ID lol

thank you ^^

            end
        end

        -- DESTRUCTION PHASE
        if context.destroy_card 
        and context.destroy_card == card 
        and card._burned_destroy then
            return { remove = true }
        end
    end
}

I was wondering why when this gets retriggered and one of its trigers is the x5 and it says burned up it does not get removed at the end of the hand?

frosty rampart
#

context.destroy_card is only for playing cards

#

also you shouldn't need to reset the destroy flag if it's intended to be immediately destroyed anyway

red flower
#

thats what makes retriggers not work

bright ivy
#

I think I figured it out:

if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
                card._burned_destroy = nil
            end

Is the new code

bright ivy
frosty rampart
#

why are you resetting the flag at all
either it doesn't roll x5 and it's still nil, or it did roll x5 and it's destroyed before you get around to resetting it

frosty rampart
bright ivy
#

fair enough, Ima remove it and see if it works as intended

#

Thank yall

#

it works

Still confused about this if someone can help give clarification

how do i made it so you can actually draw this card in your hand? right now it adds a card to my deck but i can't draw it in that specific round

            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function() 
                        local _card = create_playing_card({
                            front = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CARDS, pseudoseed('cert_fr')), 
                            center = G.P_CENTERS.c_base}, G.deck, nil, nil, {G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Enhanced})
                        _card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_omega_sigil)
                        return true
                    end}))

                playing_card_joker_effects({true})
            end```

ok either im getting astronomically unlucky, or you can't draw cards added to the deck at the start of the round🙏

#

what context should i use instead of context.first_hand_drawn?

slim ferry
#

first_hand_drawn happens after the hand is drawn so that would be the issue

#

you should use context.setting_blind for the same timing as marble joker

rare torrent
#

also another quick question, how do i make an enchancement remove itself (the card) at the end of round?

        if context.end_of_round then
            remove = true
        end
    end``` this didn't work
mystic river
#

that's not how that works
what you've done there is set the global variable remove to true

slim ferry
#

also returning remove = true in an arbitrary context doesnt work

#

plus its playing_card_end_of_round for playing cards, which also only triggers when it is held in hand

rare torrent
#

yeah i figured, i also tried card:remove() and self:remove() but those also didn't work since the calculate function of an enhancer only activated when a card is in the hand

#

not in the deck

#

so idk

slim ferry
#

use SMODS.current_mod.calculate

#

And loop over G.playing_cards to remove all cards with the enhancement

#

In context.end_of_round there

rare torrent
#

wait wha- where?

#

inside the calculate function of the enchancer? or forget that?

slim ferry
#

outside of the enhancement calculate

#

SMODS.current_mod.calculate just allows you to run calculate code globally and not tied to an object if needed

rare torrent
slim ferry
#

Yeah

#

You might want to add all of them into a table and then call SMODS.destroy_cards on that though

#

So you get the destruction animation

rare torrent
slim ferry
#

Oh

#

Try also checking for context.main_eval

#

Ig

#

Oh wait

#

You didnt make it a function...

#

java ahh

#

Or whatever language does code blocks like that idk

oblique lotus

No

What does G.GAME.spectral_ratemodify?
The pack weight?

frosty rampart
#

no, i think it's the weight for spectral cards to appear in the shop

#

(so 0 most of the time)

thorn ingot
#

Makes sense. Do you know if there is any way to modify spectral pack rate?

frosty rampart
#

don't think there's anything as easy as doing it for the cards themselves in shop
you'll probably have to patch into the code where the shop creates the packs and add a rate value you can change

thorn ingot
# 
    get_weight = function(self)
        if G.GAME.stake >= 5 then
            return self.weight * 2
        end
        return self.weight
    end
}, true)```

I had been using this and it works, but the problem I have with it is that I can't get it inside of a stake.
So I assume that if the player has other mods that modify the stake it won't be able to override it.
Actually, do you know if I can make it so the player can "turn off" the lua with a config change.
#

Does it make sense.

code for context

#

additionally, I'm curious if the boss blind can be rerolled during a boss blind

red flower
#

rerolling outside the select screen is kinda jank

#

if you reroll in the middle of the blind it would do nothing afaik

split mantle
red flower
#

if you put it in calc_scaling it will create an infinite loop since thats the function scale_card calls

#

you are meant to put that in calculate

split mantle
#

okay i see

#

ty!

frosty dock
#

check if the stake is active based on a flag you set when the stake is applied instead of using stake_level, too

#

it's unreliable because stakes can branch

primal robin
#

SMODS doesnt used hook for Game:draw yet, that's so crazy

#

I'll be first

red flower
#

smods overrides game draw, no?

#

or just card draw?

primal robin
#

probably only card draw

#

I'm inserting all my stuff in ui.lua and call it a day

frosty rampart
#

you should also search for Game.draw just in case

primal robin
#

good point, no results

I guess we'll figure out where to put all this code inside PR, I'll create it as draft first

im stupid

#

okay why is this extremely janky

#

it starts drawing cards extremely slowly

#

and theres a ghost card in there

#

for some reason

#

and it doesnt even draw a full hand

#

okay it appears to only do that after a discard

#

which is good because i only want it to trigger after hands

#

still wonder why it did that though

frosty dock
#

it somewhat makes sense that that's janky

#

i wonder what's to be improved there 🤔

i just find it wierd that its only on discard

#

Really weird issue: my calculate function works fine if I spawn in my consumable card via DebugPlus, but spawning it in using add_card within another consumable just doesn't trigger calculate at all.

The other card spawning this one puts it in a separate custom CardArea. Dunno if that has anything to do with it potentially?

image.png image.png
#

The one in the default consumable area reaches both calculate and before prints, but the one in my custom CardArea reaches neither

Draw an extra card after hand for each held 8

#

It works fine after a hand but not after a discard

#

Discard isnt relevant for my purpose but it happened while i was testing because i forgot a check

Hmm I wonder if discarding uses a different draw function

All I know about them is that they're related to .toml files, I think

just since it's been a fairly common issue with some of my Jokers here and there, is there any way to update a card's edition/enhancement/etc. mid-scoring without it counting as the previous edition
i.e. turning a stone card into a glass card, and a retrigger has it count as glass instead of stone

progress on blind ideas (for the must play a X card, i might have to see if i can make where it will only appear in pool if you have it in your deck to prevent decks like abandoned and checkered from being screwed)

is there any way i could make the front invisible before it upgrades?

gotcha

frosty rampart

fwiw, this does happen in vanilla too iirc- if you play stone cards while you have vampire, the front appears before the enhancement visually disappears

#

okay good to know

it's less relevant with vampire tho because the enhancement is removed before cards score

Thank you! It seems my hook to the main menu fails though (attempt to index nil field shared_sprite), is the jokers lua file the wrong place to do all this?

sturdy compass

You can call G.shared_sprite whatever you want, specifically the "shared_sprite" part (and honestly should be renamed), and this hook should be done in whatever your main file is as defined by your metadata .json
