[median veldt]

ah

lmfao

[red flower]

it's a flag in the metadata, it's in the docs iirc

[median veldt]

HOOOLY SHIT

all that effort for it to actually be one line of code

thank you N

you are a lifesaver

[rapid stag]

that's how it is sometimes

[median veldt]

had i looked at the docs like a little closer i probably wouldve seen that

[red flower]

you are lucky because i decided to not use discord this week and i only checked the channel randomly while checking a notif

[bright finch]

for the mod manager should i get exe or msi for windows?

[median veldt]

since when was there a mod manager

[red flower]

#⚙・modding-support but either

[bright finch]

mb, is there a difference?

[red flower]

msi is an installer so i assume the exe is the portable version

i dont use it tho

[median veldt]

i didnt even know about this mod manager but i'd assume the exe isn't an inst- yeah what he said

i just happened to click on his profile

WHY does this have rich presence

[naive coral]

trying to make a joker scale of of its own chips, and the game crashes. any idea how to fix this?

[median veldt]

which line is 296

[naive coral]

config = { extra

etc...

[median veldt]

oh

[naive coral]

its an issue with dividing a variable these i think

[median veldt]

card hasnt been defined yet

[naive coral]

so just ability.extra.chips then?

[median veldt]

just chips i think

[red flower]

no, you need to hardcode it or make chips a separate variable

[median veldt]

oh

mmthat makes sense actually

[red flower]

you can't use the chips value because it's defined at the same time

[naive coral]

so where should it go then?

[red flower]

before smods.joker do
local chips = number

and then use that for chips and chips gain

also chip_message is not necessary there

[naive coral]

will that still scale exponentially tho? the general idea is that it scales off of its previous value

[red flower]

ah

no

you need to do that in calculate, the config gets computed once when the game boots

[thorn ingot]

Hey guys, super super question.

Do you know if max_ante = is a thing for tags?

[red flower]

no

[naive coral]

ok i think i got it

[thorn ingot]

damn

     return (G.GAME.round_resets.ante >= 2 and G.GAME.round_resets.ante <= 3)
end,```
Does this serve for that purpose?

[mystic river]

that would work, yes

[thorn ingot]

omg, thanks. ❤️

[median veldt]

is it possible to cycle through every card you have (including jokers and consumables) or should i just do it manually (like hand, fyull deck, consumables, and jokers)

[thorn ingot]

Cycle as in viewing them like the deck selector or the collection in vanilla?

Hold on, I should probably not answer with a question without reading the prior context, haha.
Sorry.

[median veldt]

Cycle as in ipairs

No the context hasn't been said lol

I'm trying to remove every instance of a certain edition that you have

[thorn ingot]

Oh, I see. Not so sure I've seen that one.

[median veldt]

I'll just do it manually

unrelated, is there a function that like. draws the next card

because I have a thing that destroys a card and I feel like it should draw another card in its place

since it's not being done during scoring or anything

[fading rivet]

draw_card

[median veldt]

oh ok lmao

[median veldt]

can i do a check to see if the game is currently scoring? is that a variable?

[scenic steeple]

so, I see how to change the color, but what about the highlight? like yk how xmult the red is highlight

[fading rivet]

wrap it in another UI node

amd then give that node color

[rapid stag]

when the soul tries to spawn a legendary joker, does it check in_pool?
so like if in_pool returns false, it can't spawn that joker

[daring fern]

Yes, it does.

[median veldt]

wait this isnt like. the Next card

is it

[fading rivet]

yeah

it us the next card in deck

[median veldt]

one small issue
do i need all these values

cuz i'm not sure what to set card to because tehres no way self.foobar_reference is a thing

[fading rivet]

ohwa it im wrong

it can br any card in deck

[median veldt]

yeah thats what i thought

[fading rivet]

if u want the top do G.deck.cards[1]

[median veldt]

is the deck shuffled per se

i've never actually looked into it

[fading rivet]

G.deck.cards is the shuffled deck

[median veldt]

kk

[median veldt]

also bump

i want to make the ability not usable during scoring

as to not break stuff

Sigh.

Let Me Guess It Doesn't Work Like This

should I use events maybe?

i'm also not sure what percent does

[fading rivet]

its sound related iirc

[fading rivet]

try G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards]

[median veldt]

yeah neither thing fixed it

Oh wait what am I doing

[loud summit]

tats usually an issue with improper card destruction i believe

[median veldt]

Yeah ok

And that works perfectly

[median veldt]

I wasnt destroying cards though

[loud summit]

idk

[median veldt]

No it's fine I fixed it

[median veldt]

^^

it WAS this though

[silent sail]

balloon :0

[median veldt]

also

couldn't find anything in the docs after some skimmin

[daring fern]

if next(G.play.cards)?

[tulip pecan]

For some reason, after updating SMODS to 1.0.0-beta-1503a, I noticed that anytime I used SMODS.add_card to create a playing card, or whenever my custom booster created cards, they wouldn't show any suit/rank data on them. Is it possible to fix this within my mod, or do I need to backport to an older SMODS version?

[rapid stag]

does anyone remember how string substitution works
i forgot
nvm, figured out a better, if not more janky way to do what i wanna do

[gilded blaze]

known smods issue in 1503a

[rapid stag]

does pseudorandom_element work on keyed tables and if so, is it possible to get the chosen key from the result?

[daring fern]

Yes, it's the second output.

[rapid stag]

how would you capture that?

local result, key = pseudorandom_element(table)
```?

[umbral zodiac]

yeah

any function that returns multiple values can be obtained like that

[daring fern]

Yes, but you could also do select(2, pseudorandom_element(table)) if you don't need the first output.

[rapid stag]

what's the simplest and most efficient way to pull two unique pseudorandom_elements from one table nvm thought of a better solution

[rapid stag]

~~```lua
local result, key = pseudorandom_element(table)

is leaving both result and key nil despite a populated table~~
nope, nvm, i'm dumb. forgot about card configs

does table.remove(t, 1) work on keyed tables? no

[thorn ingot]

Hey. How do I refer to the total number of cards in deck?

#G.deck.cards does current cards in deck, not what I'm looking for.

I found it. It's #G.playing_cards.

Discord's search can be a godsend sometimes.

[safe dawn]

is xchips and exponent built into SMODS? if so, or if not how to I implement it.?

[slim ferry]

Xchips is, exponents are not

You can implement them by hooking SMODS.calculate_individual_effect, see how other mods add calculations that way

[frosty dock]

iirc rank and suit currently need to be the card_keys and supplying keys doesn't work

and not supplying both results in no front, both of these should be changed

[safe dawn]

Okay, thank you. But where would I put this?

I'm quite terrible at lua coding, and have been reusing vanilla code with modifications.

[daring fern]

You could also just do return {mult_mod = (-mult)+mult^number, message = '^'..number..' '..localize('k_mult')}

[safe dawn]

Thank you, so just at the top of the Joker's code or the Jokers code?

[daring fern]

It would go where you want to give the exponential mult.

[safe dawn]

k, thanks

[flint spindle]

I'm trying to remake the boss tag so that it disables the boss instead of rerolling it, and it's not working, and I'm pretty sure it's the context.type stuff but idk

the way it works is that the tag just stays there until you enter a boss and then it activates and disables it, like selling a Luchador

[daring fern]

if context.type == 'round_start_bonus' and G.GAME.blind.boss and not G.GAME.blind.disabled then
    tag:yep('+', G.C.GREEN, function()
        return true
    end)
    G.GAME.blind:disable()
    tag.triggered = true
    return true
end

[flint spindle]

TYTYTY

[flint spindle]

one more thing, I'm modifying the voicher tag to make it free and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it

I tried like 8 different things and nothing works and idk what properties vouchers have

[daring fern]

You should be using take_ownership, also you would have to hook Card:set_cost

[flint spindle]

sorry it's not taking ownership, I'm planning to do something else

also how do I even hook card:set_cost like what does that mean

I feel bad for asking but I'm new to this

[daring fern]

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

[flint spindle]

YOU ARE AMAZING

[dapper sun]

how would i supress all normal game inputs?

[median veldt]

Why

[dapper sun]

doing a custom minigame thing that uses base love2d stuff and it breaks if you pause and exit the run while it's active

[versed swan]

I think you set game state to something that's not selecting stuff?

Oh, maybe G.CONTROLLER.locks.use = true?

[dapper sun]

ty

[versed swan]

Shit gtg back to work

[red flower]

im not sure if there's a state that stops pausing

[rapid stag]

i feel like what you should be doing in that case is to make it not break in that circumstance rather than just prevent the player from pausing and exiting the run

i mean sure ig they can just alt f4 if they need to, but

but a hacky way of forcing this could be to do something like

if G.SETTINGS.paused then
  G.FUNDS.exit_overlay_menu()
end

alternatively you can hook G.FUNCS.options and G.FUNCS.go_to_menu and just have them return early when your minigame is active, which is probably better

[silent sail]

thoughts on this? legendary? or give it a big drawback and make it custom rarity?

[slim ferry]

This is fine as rare i think

Since you need a ton of hands to get a lot of the really good jokers

[median veldt]

Yeah, rare

[limber aspen]

How do I apply mult/chips from context.before?

[red flower]

don't, use context.initial_scoring_step

[limber aspen]

Thanks

[rapid stag]

😈

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if G.STATE == G.HAND_PLAYED then
    return { mult = -1 }
  end
end

[red flower]

so -1 mult for every context?

[rapid stag]

pretty much - a silly little idea that i had

[sharp jasper]

why does this happen

SMODS.Consumable {
key = 'igoera',
set = 'scarlet',
atlas = 'deconsume',
pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
loc_txt = {

config = {},
loc_vars = function(self, info, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra } }
end,
use = function(self, card, area, copier)
end

[idle plaza]

This is just a guess but it looks like what'd happen if you forgot to scale the image file in your assets/2x folder by 2x.

[sharp jasper]

i did

same bug

[mystic river]

scale it by 4x instead just to see what happens (this is never actually correct, I'm doing science)

[sharp jasper]

sprite didnt change

[rapid stag]

what is your pixel art smoothing setting?
off = uses your 1x asset
on = uses your 2x asset

[sharp jasper]

no idea

its on

[mystic river]

then the file hasn't been scaled

how this happened, i can't imagine, but that's what this result means

[sharp jasper]

the sprites are correct, but i want to fix it in the code

[mystic river]

there's no error in the code

[sharp jasper]

the sprites are the right dimensions though

1x is 710 by 380, 2x is 1420 by 760

[mystic river]

did you make the image bigger, or the canvas?

[sharp jasper]

image

i know the sprites are correct

1x

2x

[mystic river]

odd
your code and images are both correct

i guess balatro arbitrarily doesn't work for you for no reason

[sharp jasper]

literally 1984

[mystic river]

what precisely did you do when you tried scaling the 2x image by 4x for science?

[sharp jasper]

quadrupled 1x's image size and replaced the 2x image with it

[mystic river]

(this should not fix the problem, but it should at least make it a different problem)

[sharp jasper]

then committed it with vscode

[mystic river]

try doubling the 2x image directly

[sharp jasper]

nothing changed

[mystic river]

okay. at this point i suspect the game isn't looking at the 2x image you think it is for the 2x sprite. test 2 of this hypothesis, scribble randomly over the 2x image

[sharp jasper]

nothing changed

[mystic river]

okay, so that image is straight up not the 2x sprite sheet

[round lion]

i dunno why i nilchecked center.

[mystic river]

what does your asset folder look like?

[round lion]

like actually, is there anything that could warrant nilchecking for center in locvars

[sharp jasper]

when i look at it in vscode it isnt updated correctly, but in file explorer its correct

[mystic river]

is your vscode environment actually operating on the same folder as the one balatro loads from?

the appdata mods folder

[sharp jasper]

waitt

the 1x and 2x are in a copy in my downloads

[mystic river]

yeah that'd do it. editing the wrong file entirely

[sharp jasper]

i cant edit the image because it "contains system files"

in the real folder

[mystic river]

¿

what kind of setup do you have where a png is a system file

[sharp jasper]

idk

i just took it out of the mod file

it worked

it was the wrong size

[glossy sky]

hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows in which context glass cards get destroyed

[long sun]

i've heard that there's a function that should be used instead of math.random, what function is it?

[sharp jasper]

something something pseudorandom?

[long sun]

i need this for the title screen, so it needs to be unseeded

(i assume pseudorandom needs a seed, but i might be wrong)

[red flower]

do you need the context to do a similar effect or do you need the context to detect them getting destroyed?

[glossy sky]

well the joker idea that I have is one that enhances scored cards to glass cards only for as long as they are in the played hand, e.g. after scoring they are unenhanced, but currently, when using the context where I unenhance them (final scoring step) right now is seemingly causing glass cards to never shatter

[red flower]

do it in after

it happens during context.destroy_card which is just before after iirc

[glossy sky]

right that worked. thank you!

[wanton jolt]

you dont have to give a seed i think

if you pick something from a table i believe its pseudorandom_element

[long sun]

ah kay

what function runs when continuing a run?

[wanton jolt]

as in to hook or for an individual card

[long sun]

to hook

[wanton jolt]

idk i wanted to hook that earlier but found an alternative

[long sun]

hmm okay ^u^

i'll take a look at the UI defs code

[wanton jolt]

its probably next to the one to start a game

[red flower]

im pretty sure using pseudorandom with a seed outside a game just runs math.random with no seed

but you can also use math.random directly in that scenario

[long sun]

i've tried that, but it's giving me the same number repeatedly

do i need to plug in the current time?

[red flower]

you might need to yes

to math.randomseed

[long sun]

alright gotcha, thanks ^^

[scenic steeple]

heyyyyy quick little question, how would I have a joker where hearts & clubs are the same suit
-# who doesn't love a weird mixed up half smeared joker

[faint yacht]

Hook SMODS.smeared_check.

[daring fern]

local oldsmodssmearedcheck = SMODS.smeared_check
function SMODS.smeared_check(card, suit)
    if not next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key')) then
        return oldsmodssmearedcheck(card, suit)
    end
    if ((card.base.suit == 'Hearts' or card.base.suit == 'Clubs') and (suit == 'Hearts' or suit == 'Clubs')) then
        return true
    end
    return oldsmodssmearedcheck(card, suit)
end

[flint spindle]

All of the code I have works, but how do I update the blind chips visually after changing the ante scaling? I'm assuming you use some sort of HUD_Blind thing but idk

since this is a tag it's outside of a blind, I want to update the chips on all the blinds visually before I enter one (after I enter and leave a blind it works fine)

[rapid stag]

why that way around and not

local oldsmodssmearedcheck = SMODS.smeared_check
function SMODS.smeared_check(card, suit)
    if
      next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key'))
      and ((card.base.suit == 'Hearts' or card.base.suit == 'Clubs')
      and (suit == 'Hearts' or suit == 'Clubs'))
    then
        return true
    end

    return oldsmodssmearedcheck(card, suit)
end

honestly imo smeared should just be made into a calculate call with its own context

[inner terrace]

Is there a way to iterate over the entire localization file using current_mod.process_loc_text?
Most examples assign to specific strings individually

[scenic steeple]

so I've got an idea & am having an immense struggle bus trying to get it to happen, I'm trying to make a joker that makes played debuffed cards give 100 chips & 2.5 xmult, I've gone back to a clean slate now & can't think atm where to start

[red flower]

you can cheat around it by making the joker score those cards in another context that's not individual

the animations will happen at a different time tho

[flint spindle]

I'm creating a new polychrome tag that gives polychrome to the next joker you buy instead of just adding it to one in the shop, but I don't really know what the context.type is for this scenario. There might be something else wrong too

[red flower]

i dont think there's a context for that

i would use your mod's global calculate with context.buying_card and call tag:yep from there

[reef bobcat]

how would i make a joker that copies the ability of a random joker you have every round?

[red flower]

you would need to set a flag on that joker (joker.ability.modprefix_flag = true or something) and then copy blueprint's code but instead of checking for position you check for that flag

you would also need to decide what you do if the joker is not there anymore

[reef bobcat]

i guess i could have it check on round start

        if card.area and card.area == G.jokers then
            local other_joker
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i + 1] end
            end
            local compatible = other_joker and other_joker ~= card and other_joker.config.center.blueprint_compat
            main_end = {
                {
                    n = G.UIT.C,
                    config = { align = "bm", minh = 0.4 },
                    nodes = {
                        {
                            n = G.UIT.C,
                            config = { ref_table = card, align = "m", colour = compatible and mix_colours(G.C.GREEN, G.C.JOKER_GREY, 0.8) or mix_colours(G.C.RED, G.C.JOKER_GREY, 0.8), r = 0.05, padding = 0.06 },
                            nodes = {
                                { n = G.UIT.T, config = { text = ' ' .. localize('k_' .. (compatible and 'compatible' or 'incompatible')) .. ' ', colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, scale = 0.32 * 0.8 } },
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            return { main_end = main_end }
        end
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local other_joker = nil
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i + 1] end
        end
        local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context)
        if ret then
            ret.colour = G.C.BLUE
        end
        return ret
    end
}``` which part of blueprint denotes the position?

[red flower]

it loops until it finds blueprint in G.jokers.cards[i] and then it gets i+1 which is the card to the right

[reef bobcat]

ah ok

[scenic steeple]

fuck fuck what did I do, I was already treading weird waters with reversing boss blinds, then suddenly I've been getting this error, tried a simple step back to something I knew ran fine, but that ain't the fix & I'm worried I've just screwed everything

[eager nimbus]

TY FOR THIS IDEA, might just make a transcendent joker (Acheron) that reverses boss blinds 10x in a row

[flint spindle]

do you mean replacing the apply function with a calculate function? I thought that didn't work for tags, is a global calculate function different

[flint spindle]

ok am I doing this right or is this the wrong way to implement global calculate (I'm making the tag give polychrome to the next joker you buy)

ok it broke bc I didn't even say what the tag was lol oops

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to iterate over G.GAME.tags and check if v.key == 'modprefix_key'

[flint spindle]

sorry for sounding stupid but what do you mean by iterating over G.GAME.tags

oh I get it

thank you lol

it's still not working and I'm really sorry for the constant asking for help but I don't know what to do

global calculate is something I've never done before

[wheat hedge]

Replace the "vremade" in the check with your mod prefix

[flint spindle]

vremade is what I'm using to learn lol

I've programmed in other languages but this is my first time with anything lua

[daring fern]

Also, it should be v not tag

[flint spindle]

in G.GAME.tags?

oh

lol that's a dumb mistake

[near coral]

Is it possible to add a badge from another mod for crossmod content

Like for the partner badge can you set it to display that badge when it'd otherwise be inaccessible without partner

[limber aspen]

How do I add dynamic line to description? (like ankh adding "removes negative from the copy" when you have a negative joker) I've tried to copy Ankh's loc_vars from vanillaremade but it doesn't work

[daring fern]

You can return key in loc_vars to a different localization entry that contains the extra line.

[limber aspen]

Thanks

[tulip pecan]

Is it possible to make all jokers from my mod 2x more common in the shop for a deck? If so, how would I do this, and if not, what are some things I could do to achieve a similar effect?

[daring fern]

local oldgetcurrentpool = get_current_pool
function get_current_pool(_type, _rarity, _legendary, _append)
    local g, _pool_key = oldgetcurrentpool(_type, _rarity, _legendary, _append)
    if G.GAME and G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == 'b_modprefix_key' then
        for k, v in pairs(copy_table(g)) do
            if v ~= 'UNAVAILABLE' and G.P_CENTERS[v] and G.P_CENTERS[v].set == 'Joker' and G.P_CENTERS[v].original_mod and G.P_CENTERS[v].original_mod.id == 'modid' then
                table.insert(g, v)
            end
        end
    end
    return g, _pool_key
end
```?

[frosty dock]

if you're just adding something, you can also use main_end

[frosty dock]

you can put dependencies on an object to both only exist if the other mod is loaded, and add its badge

[flint spindle]

making a tag that creates 2 other random tags, I can't figure out what I've done wrong

[elder rune]

How would you create a joker where a property of it must be above a threshold (e.g. only Jokers that cost more than 7 or have "immutable" as true)

[daring fern]

local jokers = {}
for k, v in pairs(get_current_pool('Joker')) do
    if G.P_CENTERS[v] then
        if G.P_CENTERS[v].set == 'Joker' and (G.P_CENTERS[v].cost > 7 or G.P_CENTERS[v].immutable) then
            table.insert(jokers, G.P_CENTERS[v].key)
        end
    end
end
local key = pseudorandom_element(jokers, 'seed')
if key then
    SMODS.add_card({key = key})
end

[elder rune]

makes sense

[frosty dock]

G.tags isn't what you want here. add_tag { key = psuedorandom_element(G.P_TAGS, 'tag_vremade_random).key }

[flint spindle]

TYTY

[elder rune]

Tried it and it crashes when trying to create a Joker that is already present (I think at least)

oh wait nah I found the solution

[elder rune]

yeah nah I didn't

[flint spindle]

one final thing with this, when the tag is triggered the two tags it produces don't, even if they're supposed to trigger immediately like a garbage tag or something

[eager nimbus]

lmk when you figure it out

[solemn wharf]

hi im trying to create a joker that gains mult only when selling jokers (and not other cards) and i tried doing this code but testing it also gains value when selling other cards, any ideas?

[hidden aspen]

my bet is that context.cardarea returns card area of THIS joker, not the one that is being sold

[solemn wharf]

and is there a way to return the area of the other jokers?

im kinda new to modding and i still dont know a lot of things sry

[daring fern]

if context.selling_card and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker'

[solemn wharf]

that worked!! thank you so much

[open moth]

why are my jokers ignoring the "one card of each max" rule

[daring fern]

Did you spawn that joker with DebugPlus?

[open moth]

ye

[surreal knot]

That's the answer, they still can appear if spawned with debugplus

So in normal run this won't happen

[open moth]

ok

[silent sail]

what mult on a boss blind should i put for a garunteed the soul (inspired by panopticon)

[primal robin]

is it same as add_tag(Tag(key))?

[frosty dock]

yes

[distant junco]

yo anyone here know how to make a texture pack for just one card?

ive made the texture pack, but its only for one card so i just want it to only be that one card (standard joker)

[slim ferry]

you should set keys = { "j_joker" } in the AltTexture

iirc

[distant junco]

ahh okay

[limber warren]

so whenever you're making a custom context, how can i modify a variable declared in the context?

like i have a damaging context but i have something that scales down your damage and it seems to modify stuff locally, but it doesnt actually change the context value

and im not really sure how effect tables work or how to implement them properly

[red flower]

do you want to modify a context.something or do you mean a return in that context?

[median veldt]

Would it be possible to like. Exit a blind without cashing out, and mark it as skipped?

Also, how do you influence hands per round, permanently and temporarily

[median veldt]

I figured out how to do it temporarily, but not permanently

And same with permanent hand size

[rapid stag]

is it possible to make a gradient with another gradient as a constitutent colour or do you have to do merging stuff

[frosty dock]

you can definitely do that, and I don't think it's easily replicable by doing something else, either. Might look weird though as you'd have moving interpolation endpoints

[rapid stag]

i agree. what if i wanted to extract the constitutent colour table of a gradient to be part of a new gradient table

[frosty dock]

there's utils for merging tables

[rapid stag]

i know - my hang up is how i would get the tables of the gradient in the first place. can i just do .colours?

[frosty dock]

yeah

you can check the lsp def for things like that

[flint spindle]

I made a tag that creates 2 other random tags, but when it's triggered the two tags it produces don't trigger immediately, even if they're supposed to like a garbage tag or something

[rapid stag]

...do non-gradient colours have colour tables too? how do i distinguish between them

[frosty dock]

a colour isn't any type of complex object, it's just a table of 4 numbers

a gradient is an extension on this which still has indices 1-4 akin to being a colour, but have additional fields that define their behaviour as gradients

the colours table on a gradient is, in turn, a table of an arbitrary amount of colours

[rapid stag]

i see i must turbojank my implementation then

help

[rapid stag]

it really specifically does not like trying to draw the new badge with the gradient

ohhhhhhhhhhh

figured it out nope, nvm. i'm just gonna implement this a different way

[rapid stag]

ok so the lesson here is to just not try and create gradients during runtime

don't do that

[tulip pecan]

I have a problem with my consumable set. My set has two rarities, which I use to make some cards more rare than others. However, these consumables can be added and removed from the pool at any time, meaning if all consumables from rarity 1 are unavailable, then the shop will spawn jimbos in their place, instead of defaulting to rarity 2, which is what would be left. I understand that this is to keep rarer cards from becoming too common, however this is not how I want the set to work. can I disable this?

Does anyone have tips on where I should start with coding in Lua? This is my first time going into coding fully, I'm not completely clueless but it sure feels like I am at times lol, looking at some of this stuff is overwhelming so I just need a specific place to start at

Like any recommended tutorials/guides

[sturdy compass]

For Lua as a whole no, but for Balatro modding there's a pretty decent guide here #1349064230825103441

I've also been working slowly on a video guide for balatro modding so hopefully that becomes of use when its finished too

[vocal cliff]

Thanks cause I really couldn't find many helpful things, I found how to get the source code for balatro but not really what to do with it

[tulip pecan]

Is it possible to change the weights of booster packs mid-game? I've attempted to change the weight of a booster pack of mine using the un-commented code shown (which equates to ~20,000 for testing purposes), and nothing changes. However, when I manually set it as shown to 9,999 it shows up effectively 100% of the time, which makes me think that it doesn't update the weights automatically

[naive coral]

where on the smods docs is talisman compat/power mult located? i saw it once and im having trouble finding it right now

[sturdy compass]

emult is a smods feature now

[naive coral]

fr? where is it documented?

[sturdy compass]

as for talisman, just use Amulet instead, as it does not require specific compat usage

Looks like it isn't for somereason, but I believe you can just use emult as a return key for power mult

[rapid stag]

you WHAT

[naive coral]

where is the talisman compat located anyway? more people use talisman anyway

i dont think it is, it just shows error and no changes on a joker

[sturdy compass]

am I stupid??

cuz this could very easily be the case

[red flower]

values on a table when you define an object is only computed when the game loads
boosters have a get_weight function for this

[tulip pecan]

🫡

[red flower]

it's not in the docs let me add it real quick

[tulip pecan]

i may have just missed it

[red flower]

nah it just isnt there

[tulip pecan]

oh fire

[red flower]

no?

[sturdy compass]

I am stupid

I could've sworn it was added at some point lmfao

are you thinking about this maybe? https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-add-exponential-multchips

[naive coral]

probably

yeah\

ty bro

[red flower]

i should replace talisman with amulet there

[naive coral]

is this what a joker that score exponential mult should look like?

[red flower]

just emult
emult_mod will not have a message

[naive coral]

i see

[red flower]

youre missing quotes here btw

it seems to work anyway

the text i assume u mean?

[red flower]

yes

it still works so uhh, aint broke dont fix?

i can assure you that wont work

so it either didnt save or its doing another strange lua behavior that will break the description

ohh its there

just copy and paste didnt pick it up?

idk man

lol

[naive coral]

windows 11 - now with added vibe coding!

(and 6 quintillion bugs)

also whats the standard color for expontential mult in most mods?

keep it red or was it purple?

[idle plaza]

Purple

[naive coral]

just X:purple works, or do i need to define it

[idle plaza]

Just checked and it's actually X:dark_edition

    end
}```
this is my joker, any idea why the #2# part shows up as nil? i thought it was there in the config.extra, and it correctly scales after beating the boss

[idle plaza]

You only passed one variable in the loc_vars function's return. That's what feeds the descriptions, not the extras table.

how should i go about making a joker that scales its mult off of jokers of a certain type, do i add jokers to a pool and then do it there? what if i wanted to add vanilla jokers?

and is the default just any joker?

the default is whatever joker (or card) it should give when you have all of them without showman

Where in G (i.e., eval G.<???>) is the information for Challenge Decks stored?

[vale zinc]

What'd you use to search for that, is that through GitHub?

(Also, it is working; eval G.CHALLENGES[1] returns The Omelette's information.)

[red flower]

vscode

i just have the smods and lovely folders in my workspace

[vale zinc]

I only have Notepad++, but I coded a simple Python program to search through all files in a directory for a given phrase. It goes a little something like this:

What directory would you like to search in?: <directory/goes/here>
What string are you searching for?: <string_goes_here>

Found in file://C:/Users/path/to/file/that/string/is/found/in.txt

I didn't know where ever to start looking, though, and thought someone in this channel might know.

you should get vscode if you have notepad++ lol

[naive coral]

am i doing this right? i made a pool but the game crashes when obtaining the joker, with the log message in the txt file

[red flower]

G.jokers.cards.KryptonGreen is not a thing

you need to iterate through G.jokers.cards and check each one for the pool

[naive coral]

how would i do that?

[red flower]

how to iterate or how to check the pool?

obv thru a loop, but what to check

How do make this not overwrite the cards already banned in the challenge?

[rapid stag]

include the cards that were already banned

[tulip pecan]

is there a way to import them? or do I have to manually re-ban everything?

[rapid stag]

probably manually

although a way to add banned cards to existing challenges might be interesting

[red flower]

you would need to access SMODS.Challenges.key.restrictions and merge the lists

[tulip pecan]

ill give that a try later

[versed swan]

does anyone have a good way of changing which ranks jokers target? at least when it comes to jokers that hardcode targetted ranks

(which i assume is 90% of modded jokers that target ranks)

[timid zinc]

how do i offset a message's position?

[timid zinc]

the best thing i can think of is maybe patching before caclulate contexts to temporarily set playing cards with the changed ranks to have the joker's requested rank? i dont know how that'd work in practice but

[versed swan]

dang, that's what im doing rn, and it works but i cant help but feel it's super scuffed

[timid zinc]

that's the closest thing i could think of without editing other joker's contexts which is very scuffed

[umbral zodiac]

are you actually changing the rank

you could hook card:get_id() if you aren't already

[sturdy compass]

This sounds like quantum ranks bs 😭

[versed swan]

Looked at vanilla + smods code: no current straightforward way, you'll have to patch card_eval_status_text in common_events.lua and do something with the offset values in the attention_text usage

[median veldt]

if I were to steal the code from Oops would running that code affect the probabilities forever

or would it affect it just for the round (this is what I want)

[sturdy compass]

Forever

[tulip pecan]

👍

[versed swan]

...oh no

im reading through friend group stuff since friend of mine helped with this problem and i realized that my dumbass didn't pick up on what is essentially my friend's suggestion to hook card:get_id()

also realizing im not using get_id() enough

[median veldt]

Is there an easy way to only affect it for the round?

[vale zinc]

This code-snippet is in my utility/functions.lua file, to confirm if these functions can be called immediately after they're defined. Why aren't they?

LAPSEMS.recursive_list_maker = function(list_to_use, end_of_list)
    --[[
    k_lapsems_list_and = "#1# and #2#",
    k_lapsems_list_or = "#1# or #2#",
    k_lapsems_list_recursive = "#1#, #2#",
    --]]
    if not LAPSEMS.contains({'and', 'or'}, end_of_list) then
        end_of_list = 'and' -- defaults to "and"
    end
    
    if #list_to_use == 1 then
        return list_to_use[1]
    elseif #list_to_use == 2 then
        return localize{
            type = 'variable',
            key = 'k_lapsems_list_' .. end_of_list,
            vars = {
                list_to_use[1],
                list_to_use[2]
            }
        }
    else
        return localize{
            type = 'variable',
            key = 'k_lapsems_list_recursive',
            vars = {
                table.remove(list_to_use, 1),
                LAPSEMS.recursive_list_maker(list_to_use, end_of_list)
            }
        }
    end
end
print('test: ' .. LAPSEMS.recursive_list_maker({1, 2, 3, 4}, 'or'))
-- Should print "1, 2, 3 or 4"

[median veldt]

Oh actually I can't even steal from this code

[sturdy compass]

Is this a consumable?

[median veldt]

No it's a custom thing

I have a button that does an effect
You can only use it once a round

Except for this effect which is infinite but you pay money to use it

[sturdy compass]

I’d set some sort of global variable, funnel it into mod_probability thru mod calculate, and then reset the var at the end of the round also with mod calculate

[median veldt]

I could also just make a copy of Oops that gets deleted at the end of the round except that's stupid

Do Jokers that aren't in G.jokers still trigger I have a stupid fucking idea

Nevermind actually I'm not going to do that

[versed swan]

wait nvm i remember why, it's because the behavior i need does indeed require something akin to quantum ranks

[vale zinc]

Any takers?

[versed swan]

Seems like a localization issue?

[median veldt]

im so sorry LMAO

those last two messages (now deleted) were meant for another server LFMAO i wasnt watching where i was typing

[median veldt]

is this a bad idea

[versed swan]

Like I'm not sure what you're looking for when you're saying "can be called immediately after they're defined"; the functions should be useable after that Lua definition

But an "ERROR" output implies that an error with keys has occurred in localize, whose values are outputs for LAPSEMS.recursive_list_maker

[lost lily]

[vale zinc]

It's no localization error, I can input that function statement and it works with no hassle.

I'm making a Challenge Deck that has only a limited selection of Boss Blinds, and I want the custom-rule localization text to read "All Boss Blinds are #1#", with that variable being a string of all the permitted Boss Blinds.

[naive coral]

is it possible to make a timer countdown on a joker description countdown while hovering over it? it stays at one value until i hover off and on it again

[median veldt]

oh ok

[idle plaza]

No that's almost definitely a localization error. Nothing else would just let you print "ERROR' like that.

I don't know for sure, but if you're only seeing this error in this specific context, it's possible that the mods' lua files are loaded before localization files. Try running this print statement with a version of the function that outputs raw strings, without localize() calls.

[vale zinc]

How do I get the localization files to load first?

[versed swan]

Oh wait, I see the issue now

SMODS is loading the main file, which loads ??? which loads utility/functions.lua, which runs the print function - all of which occurs before localization is loaded

Print function occurs before localization Ioading - so localize is called before localization is loaded - which causes ERROR because localize is trying to refer off of an empty localization table at that point in time

[vale zinc]

So how do I load the localization files before anything else?

[versed swan]

Afaik you kinda can't, or at least you'd need patching of major SMODS loading processes (not fun)

[idle plaza]

You were just trying to test the function to begin with, right? You're likely off just calling the function later instead.

[vale zinc]

I wanted to see where the error originated. And at what point is this "later"?

[idle plaza]

I mean like, at any point after that game has actually loaded everything? Really I just don't understand why your immediate first response is to consider changing around the order of how a bunch of files get loaded.

[vale zinc]

How do I find that point, after all else has been loaded?

[idle plaza]

You can hook a function like Game:main_menu(change_context) and test your function there. There are probably other hookable functions that would work too, but pretty definitively, the title screen only shows up after everything else gets loaded.

[flint spindle]

how do I do take_leadership for joker descriptions? I'm trying to override matador

[vale zinc]

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('matador',

    },
    true
)

[flint spindle]

oh you just add the new description with the rest of the object?

ok sick

[thorn ingot]

I would have the take ownership on a different file and keep the new description on the localization file.
It helps a lot to keep things organized.

[flint spindle]

good idea

[daring fern]

Remove the vremade_

[flint spindle]

I was overriding all the tags with new ones (most of which work fine), but the speed tag gave me this error when I tried to view its description text

sorry for the massive dump of information

[daring fern]

Try adding name = 'Skip Tag (Mod Name)'

[flint spindle]

to the take_ownership function?

like with the other variables?

oh you mean replacing i

gotcha

nope that failed

:(

I can also send the additional context if that helps

[daring fern]

Yes.

[flint spindle]

oh ok

[thorn ingot]

is the brace below Tag in your localization a bug? I don 'think there should be one there

[flint spindle]

it worked :D tyty

[daring fern]

No, that's just the localization entry above it.

[thorn ingot]

oh, I see. Thanks.

[flint spindle]

I made a new tag that creates 2 other random tags, but when it's triggered the two tags it produces don't trigger immediately, even if they're supposed to like a garbage tag or something

[thorn ingot]

I believe that is a bug of the base game. Seen it quite a bit in mods.

I don't know if there is a solution.

[flint spindle]

dang

[wintry solar]

You need to call the trigger

wotdefok am i doing wrong its like right back to balanced gamemode when i try to set it to elation: unleashed then exit the config menu and enter it back

SMODS.load_mod_config(mod)

like a joker that, for example, start off costing $20 but gets $2 cheaper each time you see it and don't buy it

that kinda functionality

[dreamy thunder]

idk

[dreamy thunder]

should be possible

[lyric wadi]

im generalising what im trying to do in case i can use it for something else later

but now i sound like im being cagey about it

[dreamy thunder]

you could save the new cost to a variable and set it as that when it appears

[lyric wadi]

im still perfecting Imposterous the buy price and it being always uncommon gives it away

so can you just chage self.cost or is that a read only value at that point

[dreamy thunder]

it might not even be in an ability table i was guessing

[dreamy thunder]

yeah change taht 💔

running card:set_cost() would reset it though

i think?

no nvm

[red flower]

it would afaik

[lyric wadi]

how often is it ran

cuz for my purpose i think it's fine since i need it only to display in shop to disguise it

[red flower]

well if you buy that one voucher it will update

[rigid solar]

How would I create a cardarea that doesn't draw the rectangle or the X/Y, but still renders the cards in it? I tried some stuff but everything I tested that hides the rectangle also hides the cards 🤔

[lyric wadi]

i think im okay with that, it's an uncommon situation that they appear together and when they do the player gets an extra clue to tip them toward realising something is wrong

[red flower]

no_card_count and bg_colour = G.C.CLEAR
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-make-a-new-card-area

[lyric wadi]

very intentional game design

[rigid solar]

great thx

[pastel kernel]

issues lie within the commentslua SMODS.upgrade_poker_hands{ from = card, parameters = { "chips", "mult"}, level_up = false, hands = "",-- most played poker hand func = function (base, hand, param) return base -- ^^ cm end }

[red flower]

there's a snippet in vanillaremade wiki for most player poker hand

[pastel kernel]

obelisk?

[red flower]

no, the wiki

[red flower]

this wiki

not that question

[pastel kernel]

o

do i keep the high card

[red flower]

that's just the default in case it doesn't find anything but in most cases it doesn't matter

[pastel kernel]

cool

ok now about tetration.

[hidden notch]

Is there a way to get Text with Color out of the v_dictionary? (Or are the any Alternative ways)
Example Entry that I want to reference;```
[...]
v_dictionary = {
SEMBY_next_test = "Next in {C:attention}#1#{}"
},
[...]

I have a Text-Box/Joker and want to be able to Switch a Single Line in it with multiple other Lines that have Different Colors and Values

[primal robin]

no.

Unless you parse a line manually w/ SMODS.localize_box(loc_parse_string(..))

[hidden notch]

Well, I'm gonna take a look at that then

[pastel kernel]

how do you tetrate in lua?

[slim ferry]

talisman and amulet have functions for it

otherwise you get to manually recreate it via a function yourself

[pastel kernel]

so you can just write return base ^^ cm?

[slim ferry]

no

function

idk what its called but there is a function for it

oh its a method

BigNum:arrow(arrows, operand)

[pastel kernel]

so i return Bignum?

[slim ferry]

what

well you need to convert the base to bignum to use arrows

i assume thats what you mean

[pastel kernel]

i'm just trying to return a value bigger than the original

so

i'm guessing i put 2 in arrows

[slim ferry]

yeah

[pastel kernel]

and base in operand

[slim ferry]

to_big(base):arrow(2, amount)

no operand is whats to the right of an operation

[slim ferry]

this is equivalent to base^^amount if written out as an actual math expression

[pastel kernel]

ok so operand is cm

[slim ferry]

yea

[pastel kernel]

is number.exp a pre-existing function in amulet

wait, math.exp?

[slim ferry]

math.exp returns e^x

[pastel kernel]

ascensio uses Number.exp for Drivers License Exotic

[slim ferry]

oh i assume the amulet one is a regular exponent

[pastel kernel]

this is what it looks like in ascensio```lua
function Number.exp(a, b)
return Number.toBig(a):pow(b)
end

[slim ferry]

though you shouldnt need that here since this doesnt scale multiplicatively like drivers license exotic

bruv

[turbid kindle]

I apologize for the wall, I know you two were talking

I've been writing this in here for awhile, I am genuinely sorry

[pastel kernel]

exotic drivers license uses this x_mult = Number.exp(card.ability.extra.base, cnt)

[turbid kindle]

Generally just want people's thoughts on the jokers I made here

[slim ferry]

yeah because the xmult stacks multiplicatively

[slim ferry]

probably better put it in #⚙・modding-general then

since this channel is for dev help

[turbid kindle]

Ouh, my apologies then, I'll go do that

[pastel kernel]

oh wait, aphi said adds

i think that means it's (extra.cm * cnt)

idk

is it?

[slim ferry]

probably add 1 to that

so it doesnt start at ^^0

[pastel kernel]

so the thing drivers license uses in ascensio is mod_count, and it's set to 0, so i'll just set that to 1

[slim ferry]

well

no

[pastel kernel]

--thanks ascensio
local function count_mod()
    local mod_count = 0

    if G and G.deck and G.deck.cards then
        for _, card in ipairs(G.deck.cards) do
            -- edition
            if card.edition then
                mod_count = mod_count + 1
            end
            -- seal
            if card.seal then
                mod_count = mod_count + 1
            end
            -- enhancement
            if next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card)) then
                mod_count = mod_count + 1
            end
        end
    end

    return mod_count
end```

[slim ferry]

thats the count of how many modifiers there are

i presume

yeah

[pastel kernel]

so then cnt + 1?

[slim ferry]

just add 1 to the totaled amount

(extra.cm * cnt) + 1

[pastel kernel]

oh

((card.ability.extra.cm * cnt) + 1)```

[slim ferry]

i would assume so

[pastel kernel]

i should probably add an "if not 0.33" somewhere

[slim ferry]

what

you mean like

count ~= 0

[pastel kernel]

or if not < 0.99

so it doesn't accidentally fuck up your poker hand

[slim ferry]

well you can just check count > 0 instead then

though count shouldnt ever be less than 0 anyway

or check if total > 1 i guess

[pastel kernel]

mod_count > 1?

[slim ferry]

.

[slim ferry]

.

[pastel kernel]

i think count_mod() > 0 is valid?

[slim ferry]

count_mod isnt a function

but yeah

assuming you use whatever your own variable name is

[pastel kernel]

did you scroll u-

[slim ferry]

oh

well

better to store the count from count_mod once

and then use it in the check and level up

so you dont count them once every time

[pastel kernel]

also drivers license uses local cnt = count_mod(), so maybe cnt > 0?

[slim ferry]

yes thats

what i have been saying

[slim ferry]

thats tghis

[pastel kernel]

i pray this workslua calculate = function (self, card, context) local cnt = count_mod() if context.before and (cnt > 0) and not context.blueprint then local _handname, _played = 'High Card', -1 for hand_key, hand in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do if hand.played > _played then _played = hand.played _handname = hand_key end end local most_played = _handname local cm = ((card.ability.extra.cm * cnt) + 1) return { message = localize("k_upgrade_ex"), colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION, func = function() SMODS.upgrade_poker_hands{ from = card, parameters = { "chips", "mult"}, level_up = false, hands = most_played, func = function (base, hand, param) return to_big(base):arrow(2, cm) end } end } end if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval or context.forcetrigger then SMODS.add_card({ key = "c_familiar", area = G.consumeables }) end end,

[slim ferry]

i would assume it does

you probably want to set a custom StatusText parameter so it doesnt say just the addition for the animation

StatusText = "^^"..cm

[pastel kernel]

in func or upgrade_poker_hands

[slim ferry]

in upgrade_poker_hands

[pastel kernel]

With caps?

[slim ferry]

yes

[pastel kernel]

i should've seen this coming considering not even drivers license exotic works

[slim ferry]

can you show the count_mod function

it should be something like this

[pastel kernel]

scroll up

or here #💻・modding-dev message

[slim ferry]

function count_mod()
    seen = {}
    for _, c in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
        local ed = c.edition and c.edition.key
        local seal = c:get_seal()
        local enh = SMODS.get_enhancements(c)
        if ed then seen[ed] = true end
        if seal then seen[seal] = true end
        for _, key in ipairs(enh) do seen[key] = true end
    end
    return #seen
end

it should be smth like this

for unique modifiers

in full deck

[pastel kernel]

so i got rid of the cnt > 0 and it works, but literally no change in poker hand whatsoever

[faint yacht]

#seen won't exactly yield what you want by doing that.

[lyric wadi]

can you change card.rarity

would that fuck things up

[faint yacht]

Either add

local mods = 0
for _, mod in pairs(seen) do
  if mod then mods = mods + 1 end
end
return mods

or do table.insert instead of setting values in seen directly.

[pastel kernel]

i'm not gonna sleep until i get this over with

it's 12AM here btw

[pastel kernel]

i'm guessing i replace return #seen with this?

[faint yacht]

Pretty much.

[slim ferry]

I forgot

[pastel kernel]

it does not check for enhancements

local enh = SMODS.get_enhancements(c)

--or

local enh = next(SMODS.get_enhancements(c))

[slim ferry]

It should not be next

[pastel kernel]

alr

idk how it doesn't check for it tho

[slim ferry]

try for key in pairs instead of for _, key in ipairs

I forget how exactly the get_enhancements return is structured

[pastel kernel]

i also wanna change the leveling color of the status text

also this only affects chips, idk why mult doesn't upgrade too

ok enhancement checking works

[slim ferry]

idk about the upgrade problems

It should work just fine

And i dont think custom colours can be set for the statustext since its part of a vanilla function

[pastel kernel]

ok nvm i was just blind

god i love this placeholder

ok now i need to set up the spectral spawning.

how's this?lua if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval or context.forcetrigger then local itemtray = { "c_familiar", "c_grim", "c_incantation" } SMODS.add_card({ key = itemtray[math.random(#itemtray)], area = G.consumeables }) end end,

[umbral zodiac]

math.random 🥀

[pastel kernel]

hey, 900n1 used it

[slim ferry]

Who

Use pseudorandom_element bro

[pastel kernel]

his name forgotten months after the coveted 900n1's Gamblepack was unveiled 🥀

[lyric wadi]

ok but like outside of particles there's like few reasons to use math.random

[slim ferry]

Okay but you should still use pseudorandom functions for gameplay related things yeah

[pastel kernel]

i'll change it

[lyric wadi]

unless you explicitly want to allow savescumming

[limber warren]

well im trying to modify a context.something, but it doesnt change anything

[red flower]

look at SMODS.update_context_flags

[pastel kernel]

            local itemtray = {
                "c_familiar",
                "c_grim",
                "c_incantation"
            }
                local g = pseudorandom_element(itemtray, "busterb_hedera")
            SMODS.add_card({key = g, area = G.consumeables, edition = "e_negative", key_append = "minos"})
            end```

oh wait i forgot to change the append

does this work?

[limber warren]

what would i return as a flag?

[red flower]

that function doesnt return

[limber warren]

i see

i know this is a dumb question, but what would you put in as the flag for this function to work? in the game dumps, im seeing that theres a loop that iterates through a separate smods function but im not really doing that

[viscid talon]

guys im so stupid idk how to fix this

WHAT DOES THIS MEAAAAAN

[limber warren]

change card to self and see if it works

[slim ferry]

...no

[slim ferry]

what is the big idea with the config here

shouldnt you be having d_size = some number

[viscid talon]

idk i just got this from drunkard's code

[slim ferry]

that

definitely isnt drunkard code?

[viscid talon]

-- Drunkard
SMODS.Joker {
    key = "drunkard",

        ease_discard(-card.ability.extra.d_size)
    end
}

[slim ferry]

drunkard is just d_size = 1 in the center def

yeah

[viscid talon]

i think i should be using g.game.round_discards or smth

but idk how that works

[slim ferry]

config = { extra = { d_size = 1 } }

It says it there

[viscid talon]

o

wait so how do i tie the hand size to discards? wont it just give me +1 hand size instead

[slim ferry]

idk this is kind of a wierd effect to implement

Idk how i would go about this

[umbral zodiac]

maybe when you select a blind it gives +discards hand size and when you discard it gives -1 and at end of round it also just subtracts discards from hand size

[viscid talon]

hm

maybe i should revamp it altogether

[viscid talon]

true

that was the intent at least

[red flower]

sorry, i didnt mean to call the function

you need to hook it

[limber warren]

Is it cool if we discuss it in dms?

[red flower]

no

[limber warren]

Ok

How do I exactly accomplish hooking it?

[red flower]

how to hook a function in general or how to do it with this specific one?

[limber warren]

Generally, im kind of a noob when it comes to modding lmao sorry

[red flower]

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

[limber warren]

Ill look into this, thank you

:)

[red flower]

the function itself is easy, you just update the context.something with whatever you return (flags)

[limber warren]

so would i call this in the context.X function or whenever the SMODS.calculate_context function is called?

[viscid talon]

i have another funny error

            }
        end
    end
})

So, this code mostly works - there's just one small snag

It creates five Negative tarots rather than one

idk how to fix this

like what are we even doing here 😭

[rapid stag]

did you discard five cards?

if so, it probably created one per card. context.discard occurs for each individual card discarded

[viscid talon]

yeah i discarded five cards

oops

how do i make it so it creates 1 tarot if 5 cards are discarded (similar to faceless joker)

[rapid stag]

i remember seeing a simiilar thing happen a short while ago, lemme see if i can find the solve

unless N beats me to it

[red flower]

context.pre_discard and #context.full_hand == 5?

[rapid stag]

found it

[viscid talon]

gotcha

[rapid stag]

N's solution probably works as well

idk which would be better

[red flower]

depends on where the animation should be played

[viscid talon]

            if context.other_card == context.full_hand[5] then
                return {
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            SMODS.add_card {
                                set = 'Tarot',
                                edition = 'e_negative'
                            }
                            G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                }
            end
        end
    end

so i do this?

oops i got an error

i was gonna say, can you even return an event like that inside the joker return table

[viscid talon]

i dont know

[red flower]

you shouldnt but it should still work

[red flower]

what is like 4143

line*

[viscid talon]

nvm i think i fixed it

nvm

now when i discard, it does nothing

current state of the code ^

[umbral zodiac]

context.pre_discard runs when you discard not but for each card

just use that

without any other of the checks (keep and not context.blueprint tho)

[red flower]

the full_hand part is also needed

just remove context.discard

[rapid stag]

yes, pre_discard and discard are separate contexts

[umbral zodiac]

oops i didnt read the joker description

[viscid talon]

?

[red flower]

do you want it to be for the first discard only?

[viscid talon]

no

[red flower]

then remove and G.GAME.current_round.discards_used <= 0

[viscid talon]

oke

would i remove if context.first_hand_drawn then local eval = function() return G.GAME.current_round.discards_used == 0 and not G.RESET_JIGGLES end juice_card_until(card, eval, true) end too

[red flower]

yes

[viscid talon]

oke

random question, how do i change the cat to an icon of my own? i know ruby did something like that for her mod

[slim ferry]

ruby did that as a personal edit to her smods copy

not part of entropy

and that was just a copy of the loading bar with different text, image and colour below it

[lament roost]

'''```
im trying to patch into hotpotato but no patch folder is being created in lovely and nothing is happening in game (i tried print as well)
any ideas why?

[rapid stag]

real talk, we should be able to add to an image and colour pool to cycle the cat and loading bar through while loading so people at least have something to look at if it's taking a while to load

                { id = 'tag_charm' },
            },
        },
    }
}

for starters, ritual isnt eternal (it should be)

second, the hand size isn't 8, it's still 7 for some reason

thirdly, it still has tarots in store

[frosty rampart]

yea if you want to ban all tarot cards you have to. ban each tarot card
check paperback, it has a few challenges based on the minor arcana that ban regular tarots

[viscid talon]

oop oke

wait so if i ban every tarot card, would tarot ritual still work

[frosty rampart]

you can still manually create them yes, it's just getting them randomly that'll be stopped
i think there's also something else you should do to stop excess jimbos from popping up, but it's been a while since i made those challenges

[viscid talon]

maybe ill just keep the hand size as is

[frosty rampart]

ok yea you have to hook game.start_run, check if self.GAME.modifiers.no_shop_tarots is true, and then set the tarot_rate

[viscid talon]

cup, wand, sword, pentacles,,,

idk how to word this

[frosty rampart]

yea the minor arcana suits
paperback has challenges based on each suit

[viscid talon]

if challenge = "magic trial" then self.game.tarot_rate = 0 ?????

[frosty rampart]

so you see where your challenge definition has custom = { { id = "no_shop_tarots" } }? that means that, while the challenge is active, G.GAME.modifiers.no_shop_tarots is true. in the Game.start_run function, self is G, so you'd check if self.GAME.modifiers.no_shop_tarots is true, and if it is, then you set the tarot_rate

[frosty dock]

why no apply function

[frosty rampart]

idk lmao

[frosty rampart]

ok scrap everything i just said, add an apply function to your challenge, and just set G.GAME.tarot_rate = 0 in that apply function

[viscid talon]

how would i write an apply function

[fading rivet]

any idea why my text wont appear?

generate_gameplay_ui = function(self)
        local ret = {}
        local SCALE = 1
        for rowi, row in ipairs(self.ability.grid) do

            for coli, cell in ipairs(row) do
                local color = {G.C.GREY, G.C.BLUE}
                color = color[(rowi + coli) % 2 + 1]
                table.insert(ret[#ret].nodes, {n=G.UIT.C, config = {align="cm",padding=0.1,outline=1,outline_colour=darken(color, 0.1), minw=1,minh=1,maxw=1,maxh=1,colour=color}, nodes={

                }})
            end

bruh
idk then

take it out

oh turns out it isnt eternal compatible for whatever reason

fixed

i tried putting the apply function outside and it still didnt work

so then i try this

it still doesnt work

curiously strength is the only tarot to show up

WHATS GOING ON 😭

everytime i refresh i still get strength

what even is this error

this happens when i buy strength too

i might just delete this challenge

STRENGHT IS ALSO THE ONLY TAROT THAT SPAWNS

😭 IM CACKLING

[red flower]

yes strength is the default for the type

same thing would happen if you ban every joker or planet but for their defaults

[viscid talon]

oops

[daring fern]

Couldn't you just hook save_ad?

[lament roost]

like this?

save_ad = function (ad)
    return{
        key = ad.config.key,
        id = ad.config.id,
        offset = ad.alignment.offset,

        scale = ad.config.scale,
        tutorial = ad.config.tutorial,
        velocity = ad.config.velocity,
    }
end```

[daring fern]

No, like this:

local oldsavead = save_ad
function save_ad(ad)
    local g = oldsavead(ad)
    g.velocity = ad.config.velocity
    return g
end

[lament roost]

i see

if you dont mind me asking how would i do the same for this

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]

        ad.config.velocity.y = -ad.config.velocity.y
    end
'''```

(i know the code could be better ill get to that once i get it to patch in)

[daring fern]

You can't, you would have to patch for that.

[lament roost]

do you have any idea why it would not be working in that case?

[slim ferry]

what is the file called that this is in

[lament roost]

ads_replace.toml

[slim ferry]

and what is the folder its in called

[lament roost]

i patched something else from another mod and it worked fine its just hot potato thats the issue

[lament roost]

lovely

[slim ferry]

oh okay

[lament roost]

im just confused because i seem to be doing everything for hot potato right

[slim ferry]

check the log if theres anything about not finding a patch pattern

[daring fern]

What happens when you print debug.getinfo(create_ads)?

[lament roost]

do i put that into lua or the payload

[daring fern]

No, you would just print that somewhere you can see, such as eval in the DebugPlus console.

[lament roost]

yeah i don't know what that means sorry, im relatively new to this

[daring fern]

Install https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664 and type eval debug.getinfo(create_ads) in the console.

[lament roost]

it froze wtf

nvm

(i'm also overwriting the create_ads function but i probably shouldnt be i'd assume)

[slim ferry]

if you override the create_ads function that removes the patch pretty much doesnt it

since it wont use the patched function anymore

[lament roost]

im not patching create ads

its a different function

[daring fern]

Do the same thing with a function that's in that file and you didn't override or hook it.

[lament roost]

well you see i tested everything in the original file and it worked completely fine

[final jewel]

if context.discard and context.other_card == G.discard.cards[1] how do I check for the first discarded card

[lament roost]

either i messed up in in translating it to my mod or the patches just dont work 😢

[analog slate]

so..... how do i use context variable??

[daring fern]

if context.discard and context.other_card == context.full_hand[1]

[final jewel]

oh neat

[analog slate]

mainly to know if a played card has a certain type like hearts

[daring fern]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_suit('Hearts')

[analog slate]

oh thanks

[red flower]

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

[analog slate]

alright so now i need to understand the basics of the SNOWBALLER CARD

so like how do i add the score part

also what is card_eval_status_text

and how do i use it

[red flower]

the example you might be looking at seems old

this is greedy joker's code as an example of what you want to do:
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/1abd606dc26c46f0c7b281995f40fb25b1d54b4f/src/jokers.lua#L47

[flint spindle]

I just recieved this error out of nowhere, I would add more clarification but sadly I don't know what I changed to cause this to happen. Does anybody know what kinds of bugs would cause this to pop up?

[red flower]

#⚙・modding-support

[flint spindle]

👍

[red flower]

also why are you playing with vanillaremade on 😭

[flint spindle]

that's what I'm using lol

this is my first mod

[red flower]

ahhh

[flint spindle]

and I wanted to make a mod that just rebalances the game

[red flower]

then this is the correct channel

[flint spindle]

so might as well just use a mod that recreates it 1-to-1 and tweak

[red flower]

this looks like a deck creator issue

the mod doesnt work anymore

use debugplus to test

[flint spindle]

huh that's weird

This error occurred while I was playing on a version of the Green deck I modified with take_ownership and it crashed after I finished the Big Blind just before the money calculations

lemme turn off deck creator and see if it still crashes

[red flower]

it hasnt been updated in a long time so it has random crashes

[flint spindle]

ok that makes sense

kinda unfortunate, it's a dope mod

ok yeah it didn't crash that time

thx

[lament roost]

sorry for asking again but what did you mean by this exactly?

[flint spindle]

I'll just remake all the custom decks manually instead of using the mod then

[daring fern]

eval debug.getinfo(hp_isDesktopPlatform)

[daring fern]

Add that extra / to your patch.

[lament roost]

thank you. i'm just gonna sit and think about that for a sec

🤔 i'm thinking about a deck effect that guarantees new cards on shop reroll (i.e. if you were in the shop and you see the base joker for sale, when you reroll, there will under no circumstances be a base joker in the rerolled jokers)

my thoughts of how to accomplish this are to hook Card:in_pool and have that check against a variable i set up in G.GAME and populate via context.reroll_shop in current_mod.calculate, but i'm not sure what timing of anything would facilitate my effect. does current_mod.calculate come before Card:in_pool?
