[vale grove]

oh yeah than that would work

[gilded blaze]

[vale grove]

might just do that for the idea

because this joker is supposed to have a degenerate gambling idea behind it

so maybe having to spend your rerolls is more fun

or rather accurate to the idealogy

[gilded blaze]

now, about the interest part

how do you plan to undo it via remove_from_deck

[vale grove]

G.GAME.interest_amount = 1?

[gilded blaze]

To The Moon adds 1 on obtaining, and subtract 1 on removing

hard-setting the value will interrupt the process

[vale grove]

idk just tried it

seems fine to me

[gilded blaze]

interrupting doesn't mean not working

[vale grove]

okay but then theres no issue right?

[gilded blaze]

let's say you obtain this joker, then To The Moon

To The Moon recovers interest by adding 1 to 0

you then remove this joker

hard-setting the value to 1 nullifies To The Moon

[vale grove]

just tried it

it doesnt

gave the intended value

the only issue that i might see is that on green deck you now gain interest all of a sudden

okay just tried that

that just works properly

life when your code works as inteded

[frosty rampart]

i assume vanillaremade shows this for to the moon, but actual vanilla hardcodes it somewhere else

that said i would still recommend not hard setting the interest amount in case any other modded content interacts with it

[daring fern]

No, it does add and subtract from G.GAME.interest_amount

[vale grove]

funnily enough to the moon gives interest again with this joker(if you have both not when sold)

but

thats a feature now

[gilded blaze]

consider rephrasing the effect from:

Earn no interest
to:
Earn $1 less of interest every $5 you have

to prevent ambiguity

[vale grove]

yeah

i probably should

[vale grove]

        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
            assert(SMODS.modify_rank(1))
        end

again probably something very small,. this is a seal that is supposed to increase the rank of the card by 1 when played however currently i get this error

300: attempt to index local 'card' (a number value)

what does context.other_card do?

this also sadly still crashes the game with the same error

[frosty rampart]

it should actually just be SMODS.modify_rank(card, 1)
you need to pass a card to the function for it to work, and card in the calculate function of a seal is the card that it's on

context.other_card refers to a card object in some contexts, but it doesn't exist during context.main_scoring

[vale grove]

oh yeah thanks

[rare torrent]

is it possible to get your current balatro playtime and use that value in a joker?

[left sonnet]

Hey folks, I've got a global table with data, but the data itself seems to restore to its default values in between runs. Is there a way to save this data so it doesn't reset while still being able to reference it as the original table? Would save a bit of work

[slim ferry]

For saving data to a profile rather than a run you should store it in G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile]

G.GAME is for storing data to runs

If its just a global table with nothing needing to be saved it can just directly be stored as a global rather than in another table

[left sonnet]

Alright, thank you!

[silent sail]

how would i go about making an edition that retriggers a joker

also how do i go about cchanging joker values with other jokers or editions

[slim ferry]

Spectrallib provides that

Or you can just do it with your own copied function but when it eventually breaks and you have to figure it out yourself thats probably not going to go well

[rapid stag]

it's probably bad practice, but if you want to save mod-specific info to the profile, what i do in my mod is i just save it to a profile-index-indexed table in my mod config

[slim ferry]

.

[rapid stag]

that's why i qualify with mod-specific info, so the profile isn't bricked if the player decides to uninstall the mod. bad practice, but the profile stays safe

[silent sail]

i shall look into this thank you

[rapid stag]

...am i being too paranoid about that

i have like a whole table full of stuff

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Somethingcom515/SealsOnJokers/blob/dev/main.lua#L4140-L4182

[slim ferry]

I dont think adding arbitrary data to the profile is going to do anything besides increase the size of the save

Which was probably happening anyway if you were saving mod data

[rapid stag]

i guess

[silent sail]

thanking you

[rapid stag]

is there a func i should call when i change data in G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile] or does it just auto save whenever it's changed? which i'm pretty sure is not the case

[daring fern]

G:save_progress()

[silent sail]

ive managed to get it to edit the description of the joker but instead of aapplying that to teh joker it just gives 1.5 xmult

[daring fern]

Code?

[left sonnet]

I'm back gang, I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong here? METER_DATA seems to not be saving

local start_run_hook = Game.start_run
function Game:start_run(args)
    start_run_hook(self, args)
    G.GAME.METER_DATA = {}
    G.GAME.METER_DATA.meter = 0
    G.GAME.METER_DATA.meter_active = true
end```

[silent sail]

SMODS.Shader({ key = 'gold', path = 'gold.fs' })

SMODS.Edition {
key = 'golden',
shader = 'gold',

config = {
    extra = {
        modifytbl = {
            ["*"] = 1.5
        }
    }
},

loc_txt = {
    name = 'Golden',
    text = {
        [1] = 'This Joker has its values',
        [2] = 'increased by {C:attention}50%{}'
    }
},

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.pre_joker then

        card.ability.extra = card.ability.extra or {}

        if not card.ability.extra.golden_applied then
            BAGGUTRO.modify_joker_values(card, self.config.extra.modifytbl)
            card.ability.extra.golden_applied = true
        end
    end
end

}

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to use it like this BAGGUTRO.modify_joker_values(card, {['*'] = 1.5}, {x_mult = 1, x_chips = 1, h_size = 0, extra_value = true, cry_prob = true, d_size = 0, card_limit = true, extra_slots_used = true})

[silent sail]

any way to make it static instead of every time its triggered?

[daring fern]

Call it in on_apply and on_remove

[frosty dock]

chat i cooked up something

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/1283

[silent sail]

and how would i go about doing that? sorry im really bad at this

i think i did it wrong lol

i got it

YAY

ok new problem is that i may need to redo all my jokers to not be static values because those dont scale but vanilla ones do

[near coral]

I have a sticker that makes it to where if one is sold or destroyed all others with that sticker are too, but it hasn't been working

[daring fern]

local oldcardremove = Card.remove
function Card:remove()
    local g = oldcardremove(self)
    local destroyed_cards = {}
    if self.ability.modprefix_stickerkey then
        for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            if v ~= self and v.ability.modprefix_stickerkey then
                if G.CONTROLLER.locks.selling_card then
                    G.FUNCS.sell_card({config = {ref_table = v}})
                else
                    table.insert(destroyed_cards, v)
                end
            end
        end
    end
    if next(destroyed_cards) then
        SMODS.destroy_cards(destroyed_cards)
    end
    return g
end

[near coral]

o oke

[left sonnet]

Bump, sorry to bother you

[daring fern]

You should be hooking Game:init_game_object

[near coral]

I get this message sometimes but I don't know what it means

[left sonnet]

Would this be with or without start_run?

local igo_hook = Game.init_game_object
function Game:init_game_object()
  local g = igo_hook(self)
    g.METER_DATA = {
        meter = 0,
        depth = 0,
        meter_active = true,
    }
  return g
end``` I realize now g is G.GAME

[naive agate]

how do I have a joker increase the hand size after two cards of a specific enhancement are scored'

[daring fern]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
    local cards = {}
    for k, v in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_modprefix_key') or SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_modprefix_key2') then
            table.insert(cards, v)
        end
        if v == context.other_card then break end
    end
    if #cards == 2 then
        card.ability.extra.hand_size = card.ability.extra.hand_size+1
        G.hand:change_size(1)
        return {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'), message_card = card}
    end
end

[naive agate]

cheers

[fading rivet]

any idea how to fix this?
It worked if I use draw_to_hand, so I tried copying the code the moves the card and it does this instead

[buoyant shard]

Whenever the following code triggers, my game crashes

    if pseudorandom('charming') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
        -- Thanks to nh6574 and bepisfever in the Balatro Discord for the help with this next line!
        SMODS.add_card{ set = "Joker", edition = "e_negative", key = "charming"}
        return {
            card = card,
            message = "Wow!",
        }
    end
end```

[sturdy compass]

your key seems very short

no 'j_' and no mod prefix

[fading rivet]

code since I'll be eeping
UI wizards please do your thing I'll be eternally grateful

[buoyant shard]

It works now, thanks!

[rapid stag]

i have a bit of an issue here - i have a joker that adds +1 mult per enhancement/edition/seal to all played cards, but for some reason the red seal on unscored cards is retriggering the effect.

how do i prevent that?

[sturdy compass]

instead of context.individual try using context.main_scoring instead. You should replace mentions of context.other_card with just card too iirc nvm I thought this was for an enhancement

[fading rivet]

context.individual gets retriggered by stuff

here's code for a card I have witha similar effect

-- Forte
SMODS.Consumable{
    key = "vb_forte",
    set = "Voicebank",
    atlas = "voicebanks",
    pos = {x=0,y=4},
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if card.ability.immutable._active then
            if context.before then
                for _, _card in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
                    if not SMODS.in_scoring(_card, context.scoring_hand) then
                        SMODS.scale_card(card, {
                            ref_table = _card.ability,
                            ref_value = "perma_bonus",
                            scalar_table = {_card:get_id()},
                            scalar_value = 1
                        })
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
}

ignore the _active thing thats not important

[daring fern]

Use context.before and iterate over context.full_hand instead.

[drifting garden]

how do i use the initial_deck parameter? i want to create a deck of only Kings of Hearts, but i can't seem to get it to work properly

also im using apply with an event to add steel and red seals to every card, which creates a massive delay when starting a run. is there a workaround for that?

[rapid stag]

SMODS.Deck{... initial_deck = { Ranks = { 'King' }, Suits = { 'Hearts' } }, ...}

[rapid stag]

what are your event parameters? trigger, blocking, blockable, etc.

[drifting garden]

i had trigger after with a delay of 0 and blocking false

[drifting garden]

i did this, but only got 1 king of hearts, how do i get more than that?

[rapid stag]

you need to add more in your event in apply:

SMODS.add_card{
  area = G.deck,
  set = 'Base',
  rank = 'King',
  suit = 'Hearts',
  seal = 'Red',
  no_edition = true
}```

and before adding them, you can sneak in code that will add the red seal you want to the one king that you start with

[drifting garden]

       G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                for _, c in ipairs(G.playing_cards or {}) do
                    if c.set_ability then c:set_ability("m_steel") end
                    if c.set_seal then c:set_seal("Red") end
                end
                return true
            end
        }))
    end,

this is what i was doing originally

i removed the parameters i had before bc i only have one card at this point

[drifting garden]

so i do this outside of the event?

mb

inside?

[rapid stag]

try:

apply = function(self, back)
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    trigger = 'immediate',
                    blocking = false,
                    blockable = false,
                    func = function()
                        if G.deck then
                            G.deck.cards[1]:set_seal('Red', nil, true)
                            
                            for _ = 1, 51 do
                              SMODS.add_card{
                                area = G.deck,
                                set = 'Base',
                                rank = 'King',
                                suit = 'Hearts',
                                seal = 'Red',
                                no_edition = true
                              }
                            end

                            return true
                        end
                        
                        return false
                    end
                }))
            end,

[drifting garden]

if i add steel to them under the set_seal, do i need to also make them steel in the add_card?

also it still has a 2sec ish delay at the start while it populates the deck

[rapid stag]

i'm assuming you want all of them to be steel in that case, so you'd want to add enhancement = 'm_steel' to add_card

weird, i recently wrote a deck that does something similar with those exact event params and it's instant for me

[drifting garden]

also am i adding steel = m_steel to the add_card? or do i need a G.deck.cards[1]:set_ability or something

[rapid stag]

omg i'm dumb

[drifting garden]

well you're smarter than i am

i've been banging my head at the wall for like 3 hours trying to make a single deck

of one card

[rapid stag]

yeah, G.deck.cards[1]:set_ability('m_steel') below that first seal set will give you the steel on the first card

[drifting garden]

surely there's a better way to do decks than to manually create 51 extra copies of the same card :(

also why do i always forget the damn comma

well this functions, now i just need to figure out why its taking so long, and if i can make it all happen at once

ty

[rapid stag]

apparently there may be changes to SMODS.Deck at some point to allow you to more finely adjust the deck, but atm this is how you do it. that's the best way atm

[drifting garden]

i mean i guess ive never played with a modded deck that is like this, but i swear they always load instantly

even CCD in cryptid which makes them all consumables doesnt take this long i swear

but im sure its a lot more thought out in general

[rapid stag]

does anyone know if it's possible to mess with the cards in played hand during context.press_play?

[frosty rampart]

they're not actually in the played hand yet, so they're still in G.hand.highlighted

[rapid stag]

ahh. i figured out a better solution to my problem, anyway

[umbral zodiac]

if you highlight cards in context.press_play i think you can add them to the played hand forcefully its really funny

[frosty rampart]

hihi ophie
do you mind letting me know what you think about the stake art in #⚙・modding-general :333

[drifting garden]

a small issue, all the cards dont have the king of hearts sprite in my hand

[rapid stag]

...huh?

[drifting garden]

they have the correct sprite in the deck, but in my hand they are just blank steel cards with red seals

[frosty rampart]

smods issue, will be fixed in the next update

[rapid stag]

unfortunately, sprite issues are beyond me 😭

[frosty rampart]

i think at least

[drifting garden]

😭

well hey at least it works

[idle plaza]

Adding skip_materialize = true to your add_card might help. It might be the repeated materializing animations slowing you down.

[drifting garden]

unfortunately not, it also makes a sound everytime it's doing whatever it is doing, perhaps that is making it take that long?

[rapid stag]

how do i do thousands separator in string.format?

[idle plaza]

Alternate idea then, let the deck create the typical 52 card deck as a basis, then in your event, loop through each card in G.playing_cards and:

SMODS.change_base(card, 'Hearts', 'King')
card:set_ability('m_steel')
card:set_seal('Red', true, true)

Notably, SMODS.add_card calls card:set_seal without the added true, true that prevents the animation and sound of adding a seal to a card. This method should let you skip that.

[drifting garden]

that worked, but now i dont draw cards to my hand

[idle plaza]

what

[drifting garden]

maybe i did something wrong

[idle plaza]

What's your code for the deck?

[drifting garden]

apply = function(self, back)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'immediate',
            blocking = false,
            blockable = false,
            skip_materialize = true,
            func = function()
            for _, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
                SMODS.change_base(card, 'Hearts', 'King')
                card:set_ability('m_steel')
                card:set_seal('Red', true, true)
            end
        end
        }))
    end,

this is my apply function

[daring fern]

You need to return true in the event.

[drifting garden]

after the for loop?

[idle plaza]

Yeah, immediately after the loop.

Also you can remove the skip_materialize = true,

[drifting garden]

beautiful

thank you

and now they have sprites as well

[vital wren]

can i set the sprite of an enhancement dynamically so all cards with that enhancement get it instead of changing the sprites per card?

[daring fern]

No, you can't.

[vital wren]

dang

[frosty rampart]

it's "possible" with a custom drawstep rendering the sprite instead of the enhancement itself, but that's certainly not simple

[gilded blaze]

above center but below front
yep, possible but not simple

[vale grove]

im reading up on how to make certain consumables appear in the shop

        G.GAME.spectral_rate = self.config.spectral_rate(this value is 2)

this is how ghost deck does it but how would you do it for a custom consumable type you added?

[teal grotto]

i guess search for spectral_rate

[daring fern]

You would replace spectral with the SMODS.ConsumableType key.

[teal grotto]

you can just do that?

[vale grove]

so like SMODS.Modprefix_ConsumableType key?

[daring fern]

No, it would just be the key without the mod prefix.

[vale grove]

oh hype

[vital wren]

is there a way to change the sprite of a joker's center in such a way that it affects all of them instead of setting the sprite for each individual copy of that joker?

[daring fern]

No, you can only do that with seals and stickers.

[vital wren]

understood. thanks

[drowsy heath]

is there a way to check for specific jokers to beat a blind

like say i wanted it to select from an pool (objectType) that has to be in hand or the blind is not beatable

[fading rivet]

bump

nvm got it

had tow rap in an event for some reason

[vital wren]

can i just shove a bunch of code in a joker's context return?

[frosty dock]

there's func and pre_func returns

[vital wren]

oh right. the returned func value gets executed at the appropriate context return timing, iirc

[frosty dock]

func gets run after other effects, pre_func prior. if you need more control use extra tables

[silent sail]

my sprite sheet is in order, my jokers are using correct sprites, but they arent appearing inn theh right order in the collection

[red flower]

they appear in loading order

so the order they are in the code

[silent sail]

i havnt changed any of that is what confuses me

[mystic river]

shot in the dark, are you iterating over a table with pairs() as part of the load process?

[silent sail]

how would one check this

[mystic river]

well uh
did you on purpose type something like for k,v in pairs(files)

[red flower]

i do type that accidentally some times

[red flower]

you should check your main file

[silent sail]

turns out the load order changed itself

i didnt touch it yet somehow it had been altered

anyway new problem

pretty sure its because sell value doesnt exist yet but i dont know how to go around that

[red flower]

what is the code

[red flower]

if g.jokers doesnt exist that function will return nil

[mystic river]

card.ability.extra.thisjokersellvalue + ((function() for _, joker in ipairs(G.jokers and (G.jokers and G.jokers.cards or {}) or {}) do if joker == card then return joker.sell_cost end end end)()) * 2

why do you do this instead of just using card.sell_cost?

[red flower]

also yeah lol

it is also not good practice to in line functions like this it makes it less readable

[silent sail]

alas joker forge as a base

[red flower]

ah

makes sense

[mystic river]

it will definitely crash if the card isn't in G.jokers for some reason, such as the collection

[red flower]

dont edit jokerforge code, either use it or code it from scratch imo

[silent sail]

yeah fair enough

so how would one do this effect then

[red flower]

.

[silent sail]

oh right yeah thanks

game stopped crashing but now it doesnt actually modify sell fvalue

[red flower]

maybe start again by copying Egg but setting the value to 1 is harder

you would need to hook set_cost

Oops! The game crashed:
engine/ui.lua:729: attempt to index field 'colour' (a nil value)
I keep having these crash i don't know how to handle it

[slim ferry]

post the full crash log

Also probably just update steamodded

[final jewel]

how do I add a Credit tag under the badge of a card

I dont remember which mod add that

[median veldt]

Is there a function or something that gets called when a booster pack is over?

[median veldt]

3xCredits or i think its called creditslib theres two different ones but the implementation is the same

[final jewel]

3x credit is an infoqueue ?

[median veldt]

No, you just add this to your object at the end

credit = {
    art = "Artist Name",
    code = "Coder Name",
    concept = "Concepter Name"
},

[median veldt]

it would be very useful i need to hook something

[dreamy thunder]

context.ending_booster is called iirc

[median veldt]

mmmmmmmmthat wont do

i cant use contexts

[dreamy thunder]

which is in uh

G.FUNCS.end_consumeable = function(e, delayfac)

[median veldt]

end_consumeable?

does that apply to. like. using a consumable

[dreamy thunder]

what are you trying to do

[median veldt]

call a function at the end of a booster pack, glorified context

its for a custom object

hey please don't dump your crash logs like this

[whole lava]

Ok sr

[dreamy thunder]

you can always patch under the context call and run a function there

[median veldt]

oh yeah true

i forgot patching existed

i just suck at it

[whole lava]

Maybe i'll ask later:))

[dreamy thunder]

you're issue is probably related to something here #⚙・modding-general message

[median veldt]

does G.GAME.modifiers.booster_size_mod exist? i got an error that it was nil

or is it nil until its set to something

[red flower]

i think it's nil until it is set

but i dont have the code with me rn

[median veldt]

1 sec

[idle plaza]

Checked the code and yes, it's nil until it's set, and assumed to be 0 when it is nil.

[median veldt]

i see

okay so. i am now just realizing that setting this variable does NOT work while still inside a booster pack

is there a way to make it work?

like draw an extra card?

[red flower]

probably emplace it into G.pack_cards?

[median veldt]

emplace what though

just. get the card type of the pack and then create a card of that type?

[idle plaza]

Yeah

[median veldt]

hm alright

[red flower]

all boosters should have a G.P_CENTERS.key.create_card

even the vanilla ones

[median veldt]

oh?

does that take any params

actually i can just check

[mystic river]

the params are self (prototype), card (booster object), i (which card in the pack it is) and it returns either a Card object or a table that can be passed into SMODS.create_card

[median veldt]

mm

okay so well new development i didny need to do any of that, there was miscommunication

what's the variable that tells how many choices you have left (e.g. 2 in a Mega pack)

im guessing G.booster_pack.something

[mystic river]

G.GAME.pack_choices

[median veldt]

ah. thanks

is that permanent or just for the current pack

[queen crescent]

yippee

[median veldt]

wait ofc its not permanent

[queen crescent]

new suit coming to 0.0.3a

when i finish the code im gonna do the crossmod i need to do (for example pwx with uno cards)

[median veldt]

each pack resets it to their own value im guess ing

[drifting garden]

how do you properly replace blinds in a custom deck?

[idle plaza]

Yeah that one gets reset with each pack. The permanent version is G.GAME.modifiers.booster_choice_mod and works the same way as the size_mod

[drifting garden]

this is what I'm trying, there's something I'm not doing properly:

  calculate = function(self, context)
    if context.setting_blind and context.blind and context.blind.boss then
      if G.GAME.round_resets and (G.GAME.round_resets.ante % 8 == 0) then
        G.GAME.round_resets.blind = 'bl_plant'
      end
    end
  end,

[median veldt]

yeah thanks
dw i WANT it to be temporary it makes my life easier

[queen crescent]

The Spike

2x Base
Debuff cards of the Icon Suit

[idle plaza]

local get_old_boss = get_new_boss
function get_new_boss()
    if G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == "b_modprefix_yourdeckkey" and (G.GAME.round_resets.ante % G.GAME.win_ante) == 0 then
        return "bl_plant"
    else
        return get_old_boss()
    end
end

This is what worked for me.

[median veldt]

yo whats this

[queen crescent]

new 0.0.3a feature

a whole brand new suit

[median veldt]

no i mean the thing youre using to show it

[queen crescent]

pwx

[median veldt]

?

[queen crescent]

polterworx

[mystic river]

do you want exactly the win ante, or do you want every multiple of the win ante?

for that matter - do you want the win ante, or every ante that gives a showdown blind?

[drifting garden]

does G.GAME.win_ante apply for every showdown boss?

[mystic river]

it does not, it's only the one that wins you the game

and might not even be that if mods mess around with things

[idle plaza]

I forgot your original code wanted it every 8th ante, I adjusted my example

[drifting garden]

so if i use G.GAME.round_resets.ante % 8 == 0 it will do all showdowns?

[mystic river]

it'll do every 8th ante

[frosty rampart]

for compatibility with other mods that change the win ante, it should be G.GAME.round_resets.ante % G.GAME.win_ante == 0

[mystic river]

if a mod changes how often showdown blinds appear, or what the win ante is, those won't correlate

[frosty rampart]

and yea there's a number of mods out there that add e.g. a stake that makes showdowns appear twice as often

[mystic river]

if you want every showdown, put your hook code after the original function and return the plant if the original result would've been a showdown blind

probably edit used blinds in the process to avoid side effects

[drifting garden]

im doing this rn, how can i properly edit the used blinds in this function?

local get_old_boss = get_new_boss or function() return "bl_big" end

function get_new_boss()
    if G.GAME 
    and G.GAME.selected_back 
    and G.GAME.selected_back.effect 
    and G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center 
    and G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == "b_steeldeck_all_kh"
    and G.GAME.round_resets 
    and (G.GAME.round_resets.ante % G.GAME.win_ante == 0) then
        return "bl_plant"
    else
        return get_old_boss()
    end
end```

[mystic river]

in that function, you don't

[idle plaza]

G.GAME.bosses_used.bl_plant = G.GAME.bosses_used.bl_plant + 1

...Also I promise you, you don't need that many in-case-of-nil checks, like at all. The vanilla get_new_boss function doens't check for any of that existing since it's all initialized beforehand.

[fading rivet]

atp use pcall for nil checks

[fading rivet]

How could I change what cards you start with in a deck
I can't use challenge decks

[red flower]

apply

[frosty rampart]

i've seen what you're working on, i think the best route for you is to use initial_deck to start with a totally empty deck and then the apply function to add all the cards

[fading rivet]

initial_deck is an api function or soemthign else?

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Back

[robust parrot]

Cat

[fading rivet]

yeah just checked it

can I just supply nothing and it'll be nothign

initial_deck = {}

or do I need at least 1 card

[red flower]

you need to set it to exclude them i think

[fading rivet]

tried this and it gave me the full deck

[rapid stag]

try initial_deck = { Suits = { 'D', 'H', 'C', 'S' }, Ranks = { 'A', 'K', 'Q', 'J', '10', '9', '8', '7', '6', '5', '4', '3', '2' }, exclude = true }

[fading rivet]

ranks worked

initial_deck = {Ranks = {}} worked

thx

[rapid stag]

i would love more granular control over the starting deck when are the changes

[frosty rampart]

i mean
you have it
initial_deck gives you control over the ranks and suits in the deck, and the apply function lets you do basically everything else to that deck

[red flower]

maybe a remove initial deck flag would be cool

so you dont have to specify all the suits and ranks which might not be loaded yet

[red flower]

oh i just saw this nvm

[fading rivet]

how could I add the cards

[red flower]

it has to be in an event

also just use add_card it does all the stuff at the bottom

[fading rivet]

ah

[fading rivet]

wait I didn't provide a return

[rigid solar]

So I have a deck in my mod. For me, it appears last in the list (as intended) but someone's reporting it's appearing 2nd, right after red deck. Would anyone happen to know why?

I assume it's a difference in either steamodded or lovely version, or both?

[median veldt]

How do I get the last played poker hand?

[frosty rampart]

from the 1501a changelog https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/1501a

[median veldt]

Is there a way to get the hands played from this round?

[frosty rampart]

not specifically in smods, i'd probably use the mod calculate to save details about played hands to a table and then wipe it clean during end_of_round

[median veldt]

Mod calculate?

[faint yacht]

function SMODS.current_mod.calculate(self, context)
  ...
end

[median veldt]

That's a thing??

[frosty rampart]

since 0827

[median veldt]

🥹

[frosty rampart]

it's very handy

[median veldt]

Well, thanks!

[silent sail]

how do i actualyl code in a joker retrigger for like an edition

like it retriggers teh card or joker thats used

ive got the optional feature turned on

i just dont know how it works

[median veldt]

Question - can you add weights to consumables? Is that a thing?

[rapid stag]

it'll be easier when eremel's new PR is merged

idk how you'd approach that atm though

[median veldt]

Maybe I'll just wait?

[silent sail]

1. why does this not work
2. how do i get it to work on a joker

[median veldt]

Okay, I have no idea what I'm doing

(This is for something else; effectively rerolling a booster pack)

[red flower]

g.booster_pack is a uibox i think

[median veldt]

I have now realized that G.B- yeah

[red flower]

where is this code

[median veldt]

If you're going to suggest a context, that's not applicable here.

Though, I could throw something together and create a variable that checks the key.

[red flower]

i mean if i suggest a context you could always use mod calculate

but i wasnt going to

[median veldt]

My point exactly.

Oh?

What were you going to say?

[red flower]

checking something in the code give me a sec

local _card_to_spawn = SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER.config.center:create_card(SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER, #G.pack_cards)
local card
if type((_card_to_spawn or {}).is) == 'function' and _card_to_spawn:is(Card) then
    card = _card_to_spawn
else
    card = SMODS.create_card(_card_to_spawn)
end
if card then G.pack_cards:emplace(card) end

maybe that works?

[median veldt]

Okay hold on.

This only spawns one card, correct?

[red flower]

yes

[median veldt]

What if I want to create two? Just, put this in a for loop?

Here actually before I test that

Let me just try this as is

[red flower]

yeah it should work

the loop i mean, idk if it actually works properly in the first place

[median veldt]

Works flawlessly. Nice.

Now let me try it in a loop.

[red flower]

it should be #G.pack_cards+1

but i dont think it matters that much

[median veldt]

local num = #G.pack_cards
SMODS.destroy_cards(G.pack_cards.cards)
for i=1,num do
    local _card_to_spawn = SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER.config.center:create_card(SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER, #G.pack_cards+1)
    local card
    if type((_card_to_spawn or {}).is) == 'function' and _card_to_spawn:is(Card) then
        card = _card_to_spawn
    else
        card = SMODS.create_card(_card_to_spawn)
    end
    if card then G.pack_cards:emplace(card) end
end

Didn't work. User error?

It worked before I added the for loop, for the record.

Yeah, it's my fault (added a print statement and it didn't print anything), but I'm not sure what I did wrong

[wintry solar]

local num = #G.pack_cards.cards

[median veldt]

Aw.

I always forget that.

[red flower]

oops yeah that

[final jewel]

what is the key of the stakes sticker

those in the vanilla game

[frosty rampart]

it's handled differently from regular stickers
card.sticker is set to just the key of the stake without a "stake" prefix, e.g. white or modprefix_key for modded stakes

[final jewel]

like im trying to take ownership on them

[frosty dock]

you can't do that, they're not stickers gameplay-wise

[final jewel]

oh so I cant edit the texture ?

[frosty dock]

no you absolutely can do that, the relevant properties are on the stake

sticker_atlas and sticker_pos

there just don't exist sticker objects for these because they don't act like stickers, they're just sticker sprites

[final jewel]

create_badge(localize(v, "labels"), get_badge_colour(v), SMODS.get_badge_text_colour(v))

is it possible to make an invisible background color for a badge

[red flower]

G.C.CLEAR instead of get_badge_colour?

[final jewel]

[manifest]
version = '1.0.1'
dump_lua = true
priority = 0

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'functions/UI_definitions.lua'
match_indent = true
position = 'before'
pattern = '''
if AUT.card_type ~= 'Locked' and AUT.card_type ~= 'Undiscovered' then
'''
payload = '''
if obj and obj.art_credit then
    badges[#badges + 1] = create_badge(localize('taw_credit', "labels") + obj.art_credit, get_badge_colour(G.C.CLEAR), SMODS.get_badge_text_colour(G.C.GREY))
end

'''```

I probably did something wrong but idk

[frosty rampart]

replace the whole get_badge_colour function call with just G.C.CLEAR

[final jewel]

ok

[true jasper]

how do i change the background color to a custom color when in a booster i made

[final jewel]

wait i think i know

ok it works

but how do I make the text smaller

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Booster check vanillaremade's boosters for how it works

[median veldt]

Before I do this manually, I just want a quick sanity check.

Is there a variable that keeps track of the last used consumable?

[frosty rampart]

not in general, only one for consumables that The Fool can create

[median veldt]

Alright, I'll just do it manually.

[wanton jolt]

i want to change the animated sprite of a joker, i managed to do it for soul but not the card sprite itself

nvm

[median veldt]

Sanity check. Am I doing this right?

[red flower]

SMODS.create_card({ key = [the key in that table] })

you can also add edition = key in create_card

or use add_card instead if you want it to be emplaced in consumables automatically

[median veldt]

Oh!

[rapid stag]

sanity check: self.ability.rarity? or self.rarity? or self.config.rarity? or self.config.center.rarity? on Card, in highlight()

[red flower]

self.config.center.rarity
also there's self:is_rarity(key)

[near coral]

Is there a way to select more than 1 joker for the sake of a consumable

[rapid stag]

modify area highlight limit

i forget how, n will probably say

[red flower]

it's a bit janky, G.jokers.config.highlighted_limit = 2 will make it so you can highlight 2 but it's a bit hard to take into account other mods that might want to change it before/during/after

[near coral]

Maybe I should change the consumable effects

[rapid stag]

local oldHighlightLimit = G.jokers.config.highlighted_limit
G.jokers.config.highlighted_limit = 2

...

G.jokers.config.highlighted_limit = oldHighlightLimit```?

[red flower]

what if the other mod changes the value in between those

[rapid stag]

hmm

[near coral]

The middle one switches between the vanilla version and its counterpart in my mod, meanwhile the ones on the sides are to switch 2 vanilla jokers into the counterparts and vice versa

[red flower]

or what if another mod requires the highlighted limit to be 99 or 0 or something

[frosty rampart]

usually if you want to have a consumable affect two jokers, it's in the form of "select this joker and affect the joker to the right of it"

[rapid stag]

weren't there helper functions to adjust highlight limits?

[red flower]

i dont think so

i personally just made an overlay menu with a selection :3

[near coral]

Maybe I have them only be used up after 2 uses

[near coral]

Is this possible to do or will it always disappear after using

[rapid stag]

if G.jokers.config.highlighted_limit < 2 then
  G.jokers.config.highlighted_limit = G.jokers.config.highlighted_limit + 1
end
```?

[frosty rampart]

maybe the docs have the answer

[near coral]

Where is the link again

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Consumable

[near coral]

Do seals come with only one badge or are they able to have many like other stuff

I'm asking because my coder wasn't able to put the mod badge in the sticker counterparts

And I wanna know if it's the same for seals

[rapid stag]

you can absolutely put mod badges on stickers

and seals

[whole lava]

how can i fix this?

[idle plaza]

Your SMODS.calculate_context hook is set up incorrectly.

The full function is SMODS.calculate_context(context, return_table, no_resolve) and when you catch its return, you should use local ret = smods_calc_ref(context, return_table, no_resolve) or return_table

[daring fern]

You should be using SMODS.current_mod.calculate instead of hooking SMODS.calculate_context

[whole lava]

ok thanks:))

am i stupid or it's keeping crashing with the same error?

[gilded blaze]

what are you trying to do

permanent chips/mult/etc. on playing cards?

[whole lava]

I want to make skill tree that give you more chips and mult

[urban wasp]

i'd like to make a deck that destroys enhanced cards when discarded, but decks don't naturally have a way to check for discarded cards i don't believe
i tried making a hook, but it still doesn't work; any help?

-- soapy deck effect
local original_discard_cards = G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted
G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted = function(e, hook)
    local result = original_discard_cards(e, hook)
    if G.GAME.back and G.GAME.back.key == "b_bof_soapy" and not hook then
        for i = #G.discard.cards, 1, -1 do
            local card = G.discard.cards[i]
            if next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card)) ~= nil then
                if SMODS.shatters(card) then
                    card:shatter()
                else
                    card:start_dissolve()
                end
                table.remove(G.discard.cards, i)
            end
        end
    end
    return result
end

[daring fern]

No, decks do get calculated with context.discard

[gilded blaze]

if G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == "b_bof_soapy" and not hook then

[urban wasp]

this didn't work though

calculate = function(self, context)
    if context.discard then
        if next(SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card)) ~= nil then
            return {
                remove = true
            }
        end
    end
end

[daring fern]

Yes, it should be self, back, context

[urban wasp]

there's no way it's that simple

oh my god it really is that simple

[urban wasp]

why doesn't this work how i would like it to (win on red deck with blue stake or win on blue deck with red stake)

check_for_unlock = function(self, args)
    if args.type == 'win_deck' and args.deck then
        local deck_key = args.deck.key
        local stake_level = args.stake_level or 1
        
        return (deck_key == 'b_blue' and stake_level == 2) or (deck_key == 'b_red' and stake_level == 5)
    end
    return false
end

additionally, why doesn't this colour appear in-game?

G.C.plasma = { 0.8, 0.45, 0.85, 1 }

...
                    "hands or discards by",
                    "{C:plasma}+#1#{} for the next {C:attention}Ante"
                },
...

[gilded blaze]

G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.plasma = { 0.8, 0.45, 0.45, 1 }

[wary moth]

Is there a way to flip cards drawn?
I was trying to search messages for context for on card drawn, but, doesn't look like that exists
But, I know card:flip() is a thing, and I know one of the boss blinds in the game flips card on drawn
Is there any way to do this on a joker?

[daring fern]

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

[wary moth]

awesome tysm

[red flower]

you're missing self in the arguments

i don't think the crash is related to this code tho, it looks like a ui code crash

[pseudo furnace]

Can you juice the back?

[daring fern]

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

[pseudo furnace]

What if no cards are left and a message(and juice) still needs to be displayed there?

[daring fern]

G.deck:juice_up()?

[gilded blaze]

smods handles this automatically for individual objects
juice the topmost card in G.deck, or G.deck itself in case it's empty

[pseudo furnace]

Whoaa G.deck works

[next timber]

is there a way for a voucher/joker/whatevr to make all jokers within an ObjectType be more likely to appear?

[red flower]

not yet at least

[gilded blaze]

we need whatever stored inside a SMODS.ObjectType object to be copied over to G.GAME, plus various changes to shift the focus there in order for it to work

that's just the tip of the iceberg tho 😭

[red flower]

i think it will be easy with the new weight stuff eremel is working on

[gilded blaze]

I see

[next timber]

ok well i guess uhh can i make a single joker more common and just manually do that for each joker

[gilded blaze]

you can, by modifying the return values of get_current_pool, but the work would be tedious

and it breaks seeding as well, due to different pool size after modification

[fading rivet]

How can I convert a rank id into its key?

preferably without iterating though anything

[red flower]

SMODS.Ranks[key].id

[fading rivet]

otherway

[coral flume]

Could I get a hand with this edition?

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.post_joker or (context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play) then
            G.GAME.blind.chips = math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips - G.GAME.blind.chips * 0.05)
            G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)
            return {
              message = 'Depleted!',
              colour = G.C.MULT,
              card = card
            }
            
        end
    end

Function-wise its working but visuals are a bit odd, the score updates all at once at the start instead of score by score. I tried using context.individual but that seemed to break it.

[fading rivet]

I have the id, but I need the key

[red flower]

ah i misread
then probably iterating

[fading rivet]

rip

slowish method it is

[red flower]

also why do you have the id but not the key

[fading rivet]

the deck view code uses obj_buffer

which stores the ids

wait actually im stupid I have actual card objects

I can just store the key

[red flower]

yeah

[red flower]

you need an event

for the chips_text

[coral flume]

Oh swag, I'll look into that

I think I read something about that at one point

[red flower]

it's in the docs

[gilded blaze]

instead of card:get_id(), why not card.base.value?

[coral flume]

Cheers, sorry for silly question lol

[red flower]

i dont think it's silly, the docs don't really explain that problem

vanillaremade does however

[coral flume]

On Vanilla Remade now :)

[fading rivet]

wait how do I get the rank key from a card
I can find it anywhere

[daring fern]

card.base.value

[fading rivet]

thx

[coral flume]

I think I did it wrong, the event is making it change text when it triggers instead of right away, but does the entire update on first trigger

   calculate = function(self, card, context)
      if context.post_joker or (context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play) then
        G.GAME.blind.chips = math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips - G.GAME.blind.chips * 0.05)
          return {
            message = 'Depleted!',
            colour = G.C.MULT,
            card = card,
          },
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
          func = function()
            G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)
            return true
          end
        })) 
      end
    end

Is it as simple as event in wrong spot?

[silent sail]

if i have a consumable that gives a negative joker it doesnt work if joker slots are full, how would i fix that?

[urban wasp]

boo ump

[urban wasp]

erm

[gilded blaze]

put that inside loc_colour hook

[urban wasp]

okie dokie

[urban wasp]

actually i just used loc_colour()

worked like a charm

[red flower]

you need to save G.GAME.blind.chips to another local variable so it doesnt update in between, also dont put the event in the return

[red flower]

you need to manually check if the joker slots are full, so just delete whatever code you have that is doing that

[silent sail]

but then if i had mmore jokers than joker slots wouldnt it still make a negative?

[red flower]

wdym

[next timber]

ok how much of a nightmare would it be to make a joker that adds like. a joker slot to the voucher area that refills once per ante

[urban wasp]

souper bump

tried with a different technique but it still didn't work

check_for_unlock = function(self, args)
    return (
        (args.type == "win_stake" and get_deck_win_stake() == 5) and 
        (args.type == "win_deck" and get_deck_win_stake("b_red"))
    ) or (
        (args.type == "win_stake" and get_deck_win_stake() == 2) and
        (args.type == "win_deck" and get_deck_win_stake("b_blue"))
    )
end

[calm marten]

How i am i supposed to set a custom badge color without needing to set another rarity again?

i forgot

[red flower]

custom colour where? the default rarity badge or a custom badge you added?

[calm marten]

custom badge i added

[red flower]

it should be one of the create_badge options

[silent sail]

like if i had 6 jokers and only 5 slots it still wouldnt work

or i mean itwould give it to me

also i have consumables that destroy a joker and make a joker but they also dont work when slots are full but then if it destroys a negative and the bypass is on it would overflow

[red flower]

hmm i still don't fully understand what you want to do

[fading rivet]

how could I prevent a card area from being destroyed when you start a run?

[wanton jolt]

how do you destroy a card area

[fading rivet]

whenever it's gets undrawn its destroyed

which destroys all the cards in it

and apparently starting a run destroys the offscreen card areas i drew in the menu

[red flower]

they way i did it for one of my mechanics was to have the card not be in the uibox at all and just drawn over it

another way is to just copy_card the cards

[wintry solar]

You ca also save them and reload them

[fading rivet]

I tried removing the card from the offscreen card area when the gui is exited, but now they wont got back into the new card area

[red flower]

code?

[fading rivet]

had no internet ;-;
found the issue though
For some reason the cards got removed

I think I've fixed it though

[rapid stag]

i wanna unparent a card from an area and have it bounce around the screen like the dvd logo 🤔

[gusty compass]

what would i have to use beside context.setting_blind to ensure G.hand.cards is set up

[rapid stag]

if G.hand.cards and #G.hand.cards >= G.hand.card_limit then?

[gusty compass]

ill give it a shot but idk if it will work since it prints nothing within the table when context.setting_blind runs

[rapid stag]

you could put it in an event, inside the event, return true at the end, outside return false
and that way the event will do the thing you are trying to do when the hand is set up?

but tbh a better way might be

context.first_hand_drawn?

[gusty compass]

actually that could work since all i really need is the cards to show up

also yea sry if my questions are stupid like that since i am not that much of an expert

[red flower]

G.hand.cards always exists in all contexts

or the context wouldn't be called because it's outside a run

[gusty compass]

then i might just be dumb lol

[red flower]

wait i misunderstood

first_hand_drawn should work

setting_blind is before cards are drawn

[gusty compass]

yea it did work, im a little curious how i can automatically play a hand but ill figure it out eventually

[red flower]

i think play_hand_from_highlighted exists

or something like that

[gusty compass]

yea that was my original plan but...

[red flower]

cards* not hand

[gusty compass]

yea

also fyi

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.first_hand_drawn then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = "after",
                func = function()
                    local cards = CalcLib.get_random_items(G.hand.cards, 5, "fatesreward")
                    
                    for _, card in pairs(cards) do
                        card:highlight()
                    end 

                    G.FUNCS.play_cards_from_highlighted()

                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
    end```

its allegedly this part thats breaking

[final jewel]

is it possible to make the idea text smaller

badges[#badges + 1] = create_badge(localize('giga_art_credit', "labels")..obj.giga_data.art_credit, G.C.CLEAR, SMODS.get_badge_text_colour(G.C.GREY))

im using this

[red flower]

i think it's one of the arguments for create_badge let me check

[final jewel]

ok nice

[red flower]

yes it's the next argument

[final jewel]

like a number between 0 and 1 ig

[red flower]

no it's a multiplier iirc

so >1 would make it bigger and <1 smaller

[final jewel]

yeah

thx @red flower the goat

[red flower]

this is in the docs btw : )

[final jewel]

yeah but my lazy ass thought of modding-dev before 🤣 😭

can I get the link to the doc

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Joker

[final jewel]

like I want to remove the padding under

[red flower]

you can't with the api

[final jewel]

oh

its a patch ig

[red flower]

well maybe with generate_ui but that's barely user friendly
you would need to modify the box

[final jewel]

well im bad with ui

[red flower]

arent we all

[final jewel]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/UI-Guide

i understand nothing in that

[final jewel]

I think some people are good

@mod

like Sleepy is good

[rapid stag]

i wish there were more UI helper functions 😭

i'd write some, but it requires enough understanding of UI structure to make something functional

tbh, it could at least result in cleaner and more readable code

[gusty compass]

anything to make the ui structure easier to understand would be a blessing

[versed swan]

time for me to shill tf out of JTML

Actually I wanna revise it first ignore my shilling

[gusty compass]

balatro is such a great game to mod

[primal robin]

By easier to understand you mean this? #1397732693101383841 message

[gusty compass]

yea prob, the framework looks nice

[primal robin]

What if we take generate_card_ui
Scrap it entirely
And rebuild card (center, tag, blind) info UI in general by using new contexts similar to calculate context

[gusty compass]

🤷

[rapid stag]

go on

[versed swan]

Depending on where you wanna do this that seems a bit overkill

I.e. SMODS? Might be BetterCalc: The Empire Strikes Back

[gusty compass]

-# i have no idea how to make this stupid joker effect run in series

[versed swan]

Actually im curious to hear

[rapid stag]

wdym by this

[gusty compass]

basically im making this joker that automatically plays a hand without consuming it and in essence it just breaks with multiple copies

since it runs its effect in parallel for whatever reason and highlights already playing cards

[gusty compass]

cus i dont think this should have 235 events 😭

[rapid stag]

the only thing i can think of is that instead of writing your joker effect in the joker calculate, do it in the mod calculate instead. and have it check for next(SMODS.find_card('your full joker key'))

[gusty compass]

i could try but should i show the code just in case

[rapid stag]

sure

[gusty compass]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "TBOJ_Fatesreward",
    atlas = "Placeholders",
    pos = {
        x = 0,
        y = 0
    },

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

    rarity = 2,
    cost = 7,

    blueprint_compat = false,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.first_hand_drawn then
            local cards = CalcLib.get_random_items(G.hand.cards, 5, "fatesreward") -- shuffles cards
            
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = "after",
                func = function()
                    for _, selectedcard in pairs(cards) do
                        highlight_card(selectedcard, 0.5, "up")
                        table.insert(G.hand.highlighted, selectedcard)
                    end

                    card:juice_up(0.5, 0.2)
                    CalcLib.smart_play_cards(cards, 0) -- modified function to support deduction of 0 hands when played
                    
                    return true
                end
            }))

            return {}
        end
    end
}

[rapid stag]

how do you want multiple instances of the joker to be handled? only ever does it once, or does it for as many hands as there are copies of the joker?

[urban wasp]

bump again maybe it’ll make a Splash

[rapid stag]

try checking G.GAME.selected_back_key instead

[gusty compass]

like from left to right each joker plays their hand and spends 0 hands on it, but they just all do it in parallel for some reason

for one copy it works fine, just not with multiple

-# i think

[fading rivet]

that's how events work

basicly this is whats happening

[red flower]

for this i would probably stop any copies while another one is calculating, and then do it again after

if the hand didn't win

[fading rivet]

joker1 pushes event
joker2 pushes event
...
joker1 event occurs
joker1 event pushes more events
joker2 event occurs
joker2 event pushes more events
...
more joker1 events
these pushes more
etc.

[gusty compass]

question is how would i stop the rest without the whole game freezing

[rapid stag]

blocking = true, blockable = true?

[red flower]

make the first set a global the others check

[rapid stag]

ah

[red flower]

i wouldn't manage this through events only, it would be a nightmare

[fading rivet]

wait is there a way to block specific events

that might work

[gusty compass]

i tried 😔

[red flower]

you can set a condition in the event so it doesn't happen until all the other ones finish but that seems really convoluted

also it would cause problems if a hand wins

[primal robin]

in short it's possible but not worth it, dont do that

[gusty compass]

yea i can probably just check whether the round score surpasses the requirement and skip all other copies

[red flower]

i would either have some logic so each joker goes after the previous OR set up some other place (like mod's calculate or hooks) that handles each individually in one place

[rapid stag]

yeah, i would still say to do so in the mod calculate like i said, but also instead of checking next(SMODS.find_card('j_TBOJ_Fatesreward')), put SMODS.find_card('j_TBOJ_Fatesreward') into a local variable and iterate through that

[gusty compass]

ill give it a shot i guess

[red flower]

the issue is that you still need logic to do the effects sequentially so only a loop probably wouldn't work

don't really know how to explain it better without coding it myself

there's also no smods context for selecting hand after a hand is played

[primal robin]

what you're trying to do

[gusty compass]

im thinking since the function im using to remove the hand consumption is not part of the source code, i can just add another parameter to block it when one is already running but it would probably end up horribly

[rapid stag]

well forcing the hand to be played ends up calling more calculate events, right? so you could use other contexts to drive your loop iteration rather than just a simple for loop

[gusty compass]

and i thought this joker was gonna be a cakewalk 😭

[rapid stag]

although in that case instead of a local var, you make the SMODS.find_card('j_TBOJ_Fatesreward') go into a global var in your mod table

[primal robin]

I mean what you need to do is when first hand drawn context called, set global variable and event in event in event.
Check for variable to prevent duplicate behavious, event in event will play hand when it will became available

I see no problem here

[red flower]

wouldn't that be janky if anything has another event in an event

[gusty compass]

how would i pause the event exactly

[primal robin]

context calculating is single-layer queue so 3 layers in most cases will be enough

[red flower]

also some cards might expect for some context to be present after a hand is played

[red flower]

only returns tho not anything custom

[primal robin]

Or, you can setup non-blocking non-blockable event which checks for game state and, if it's selecting hand, play it instantly, if it's round end, discard, otherwise keep itself in queue

then you'll not miss that for sure

[red flower]

this is what i would do yeah

[primal robin]

shouldnt be that difficult imo

[rapid stag]

oh, that would work

like ```lua
if G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND then
...
return true
end
return false

although a little more sophisticated than that, maybe

[primal robin]

you check for selecting hand as state where you need play hand, transition to round_eval to exit a loop when round win

And respect G.GAME.STOP_USE and G.CONTROLLER.locked

[rapid stag]

yes

[gusty compass]

im clearly stupid, i dont get it

i dont see where i would leave an event in queue bec its still all doing it in parallel

[red flower]

are you doing this

[gusty compass]

yea

[rapid stag]

the return false is what's leaving it in queue

ish

[red flower]

the state probably doesnt change immediately then

[gusty compass]

i think it would be better to make a variable in G.GAME or something and set stuff there

if not, im lowk lost

[rapid stag]

yeah, have a G.GAME var to halt additional event instances

although those additional instances should still be checking G.GAME.STOP_USE and G.CONTROLLER.locked, as well as G.STATES == G.ROUND_EVAL specifically to terminate if one of the hands wins

[primal robin]

that's exactly what you need to do

[gusty compass]

kk

would something like this work

[rapid stag]

closer to

if
  not (G.GAME.FRTriggering
  or G.GAME.stop_use
  or G.CONTROLLER.locked)
then
  G.GAME.FRTriggering = true
  
  ...
  
  return true
elseif G.STATE == G.STATES.ROUND_EVAL
  return true
end
return false
``` but yes, that is the general idea

actually, that's still gonna be queued if you start it, go to the main menu and do smth like start another run. even just reloading the saved run would make it screwy. would need to check against something like G.STAGE == G.STAGES.MAIN_MENU to kill the event too

[primal robin]

close but not like this

if context.first_hand_drawn and not G.GAME.FRTTriggered then
  G.GAME.FRTTriggered = true
  G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    blocking = false,
    func = function()
      if G.STATE == G.STATES.ROUND_EVAL then
        G.GAME.FRTTriggered = false
        return true
      elseif G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND and (G.GAME.STOP_USE or 0) < 1 and not G.CONTROLLER.locked then
        -- play your hand
        return false
      end
      return false
    end
  }))
end

that's it

[rapid stag]

i'd say also

if G.STATE == G.STATES.ROUND_EVAL or G.STAGE == G.STAGES.MAIN_MENU then
      G.GAME.FRTTriggered = false
      return true
...
``` to prevent save reload/new run tomfoolery

[primal robin]

no needs, event queue is fully cleared when you exit a run

[rapid stag]

oh right

[primal robin]

and of course you need setup a check on game:load or somewhere and check is joker which starts thing is present and if so start loop again

othervise save-scum breaks the loop

[rapid stag]

is joker?

[primal robin]

variable is not reliable method because it will be nil on first hand

[gusty compass]

im pretty sure theres something wrong with the code i have since it just seems to ignore all other conditions

it just prints ELSE

yea G.GAME.STOP_USE is at 1 apparently

[rapid stag]

@primal robin

[primal robin]

blocking = false

[gusty compass]

for one thing it works but it does it indefinitely

[rapid stag]

you also need to put not G.GAME.FRTriggering in the middle condition.

i'm not sure about turning it back off within that same condition, either. you can try it, but i suspect you'll still have the same issue

[gusty compass]

yea the blocking got it to work

but i gotta make it know it has already played its hand

[rapid stag]

try changing the return false in the second condition to true instead

[gusty compass]

awesome :D

thanks you guys

[rapid stag]

is there a way i can juice_card_until juice more aggressively? like increase the rate at which the animation is played

[primal robin]

probably make own one

[vale grove]

eligible_card:set_edition({ polychrome = true })
eligible_card:add_sticker({ eternal = true })
how do i correctly apply the eternal sticker to a joker?

[daring fern]

card:add_sticker('eternal', true)

[sleek valley]

im trying to make a function for a consumeable with a charge rate
basically, you use the consumeable once and it stays in play but you cant use it again until it recharges, but im struggling with how to make it
i want it to gain 1 charge after each round

can anyone help?

[timid zinc]

is there a way to make the scaling work with joker retriggers?

[viscid talon]

currently redoing risky revolver

did i code this correctly

[sleek valley]

context.retrigger i think

[timid zinc]

Looks good to me

[vale grove]

is there a context check for a seal being played for jokers?

[slim ferry]

return nil, true

this acts as doing nothing return wise but will still calculate joker retriggers and post_trigger

[timid zinc]

if it scales after\

[slim ferry]

oh wait

nvm

the scaling should just work?

i think

[timid zinc]

what if it was after the if card.ability.extra.x_mult > 0 check

[daring fern]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_seal()

[vale grove]

would you insert they key for the seal like this
get_seal(red_seal)

[daring fern]

No, it would be context.other_card:get_seal() == 'Red'

[vale grove]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_seal() == "Everyone" then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_mod
            return {
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult_mod * card.ability.extra.mult } },
            }
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end

ive been bashing my head against the wall with this for a little bit and cant seem to figure out why it doesnt work

[fading rivet]

can i see your seal definition

[vale grove]

the key = 'Everyone'

if thats what you wanna know

[fading rivet]

ight

hows it not working

[vale grove]

i think the first contexxt check doesnt work

[fading rivet]

print statement

test it

[vale grove]

bcs i have a #1# on mult that doesnt increase at all

[vale grove]

ive never worked with a print for debugging

lowk

[fading rivet]

💀

okay here's what id try

seperate the first 2 conditions in the if

print the result of get seal

then check the seal

[vale grove]

it has to be on the first one

otherwise #1# would go up

[fading rivet]

first 2 conditions as in context.individual and contex.cardarea == G.play

[slim ferry]

mod prefix

[vale grove]

tried that

[slim ferry]

for the seal...

[vale grove]

also tried _seal

at the end

[slim ferry]

i mean you do need the mod prefix

and not _seal

[vale grove]

ive tried modprefix_sealkey

idk if thats the incorrect way to do it?

[vale grove]

im thinking

I get a strange error when using Room No. 2024

[vale grove]

maybe i inport it in a different way and then call it over there?

im honestly so lost at how to do this

who knew calling a seal in jokers was so annoying

[red flower]

you are not setting h_size to 0 after substracting it

you should do that in both end_of_round and remove_from_deck

[vale grove]

okay no i figured it out

[viscid talon]

o how i do that

            }
        end
    end
})

what context should i run for SMODS.destroy_cards?

bc im guessing context.full_hand just... fucks things up

[rapid stag]

you shouldn't be destroying cards in calculate that way, give me a second to give an example how you should do that because i don't really know how to explain

[viscid talon]

i tried remove but it didnt rly work 😭

it just juiced and then did nothing

im guessing i need context.destroy_card

[rapid stag]

yes. you should generally be using context.destroy_card for things like this. see:

if
  context.individual
  and context.cardarea == G.play
  and context.other_card:is_face()
  and not context.other_card.getting_sliced
  and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'j_hatch_dementedface', 1, card.ability.extra.odds)
then
  for _, pCard in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
    pCard.getting_sliced = true
  end
end

if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card.getting_sliced then
  return { remove = true }
end

...

[viscid talon]

ah

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds,
            'j_hatch_dementedface')
        return { vars = { numerator, denominator, card.ability.extra.xmult } }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_face() and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'j_hatch_dementedface', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
            return {
                remove = true
            }
        end
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_face() then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        end
    end
})

this is how i did it

although

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_face() and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'j_hatch_dementedface', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
            if context.destroy_card then
            return {
                remove = true
            }
        end
    end

this may be cleaner

[rapid stag]

you shouldn't do a context.destroy_card check inside a context.individual check

they're separate contexts

but you should also generally not be returning remove = true in any context that isn't context.destroy_card

if you're concerned about the cards being parsed by other things, that's what setting getting_sliced helps with. it also makes the card fail can_calculate()

[viscid talon]

o

[red flower]

you can use SMODS.destroy_cards

[rapid stag]

oh?

[red flower]

it was made to handle this

[rapid stag]

ahhh

there's really no issue with them destroying the entire hand in context.individual?

[viscid talon]

then idk what to do 😭

do i keep the SMODS.destroy_cards(context.full_hand, nil, nil, true) ?

[red flower]

no

it happens after scoring

[rapid stag]

yes. based on what N said, i was wrong and what you were doing with SMODS.destroy_cards in context.individual is fine

[viscid talon]

i see

i just tested my original code and its being a little wacky

the idea is this

every face card thats played has a 1 in 4 chance to destroy itself

and a 3 in 4 chance to give x1.5 mult

how do i make my code reflect that

[rapid stag]

ohhhhhh

[viscid talon]

yeah, bc i have no idea how to make the code do that

[frosty rampart]

here's some pseudocode to get you started

during context.individual
  if context.other_card is a face card
    1 in 4 chance to SMODS.destroy_cards(context.other_card)
    3 in 4 chance to return { xmult = 1.5 }
  end
end

(is the 3 in 4 chance independent from the 1 in 4 chance?)

[viscid talon]

no, it's the same probability

[rapid stag]

you make that hinge on whether the pseudorandom check suceeds (destroy) or fails (xmult)
i would implement that like:

if
  context.individual
  and context.cardarea == G.play
  and context.other_card:is_face()
  and not context.other_card.getting_sliced
then
  if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'j_hatch_dementedface', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
    context.other_card.getting_sliced = true
  else
    return { xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult, message_card = context.other_card }
  end
end

if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card.getting_sliced then
  return { remove = true }
end

[viscid talon]

so it would be smth like if else

im just scared to use else statements 😭

[frosty rampart]

ok yea it'd just be if 1 in 4 chance, destroy. else, xmult

[viscid talon]

apparently its lazy code but idk

[frosty rampart]

who told you that?? blundering them with my mind rn

[rapid stag]

no, elses in general are fine, what the problem is with them is making giant if else blocks. see the vanilla calculate_joker code 🥴

[viscid talon]

ah so thats what sliced means

[frosty rampart]

yea a regular if/else statement is perfectly fine, if you're doing if ... elseif ... elseif ... elseif ... elseif ... else you might want to consider restructuring your code lol

[viscid talon]

thats the stuff i see in my old jokerforge code

i had to go back and redo certain jokers of mine to make it better

[versed swan]

Oh fuck my fundamentals are lazy code 😭

[viscid talon]

example being risky revolver, which has been redone bc i didnt like how it worked

-- Demented Face

            'j_hatch_dementedface')
        return { vars = { numerator, denominator, card.ability.extra.xmult } }
    end,

    -- credit to NopeTooFast and Meta and N' for help
    calculate = function(self, card, context)

        if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card.getting_sliced then
            return { remove = true }
        end
    end
})```

heres what i got

time to test this bitch

ok it works

[viscid talon]

how do i animate a joker again

animation atlas

[frosty rampart]

it's a lot simpler nowadays
in the atlas definition, set atlas_table = "ANIMATION_ATLAS" and frames = (number of frames), and then you just have to put all the frames in a single row in the image and the game will animate it on loop for you
it defaults to 10 fps, but you can set fps = something to change it

[viscid talon]

oo yay

[urban wasp]

charlie charlie kirky

[ancient escarp]

can i slow down the speed messages play? ex: the "again!" on retriggers

[red flower]

yes, add delay = number to the return

[vital wren]

is there a method or context i can use for when a card with a specific sticker is added to the deck? tried using add_to_deck in the sticker definition but it doesn't seem to have that

[red flower]

stickers have apply

[rapid stag]

N, do you know if steamodded has anywhere where it declares any G.GAME vars? thinking of iterating my dynamic (un)ban system some more now that i have a vague idea of how i'm going to tackle it

[wanton jolt]

is there a reason why this would not work

the rarity check

[vital wren]

i need to use add to deck instead because the sticker debuffs the card so i want that to happen when its gained not when its created in the shop

[rapid stag]

try using card:is_rarity() instead

[wanton jolt]

i tried that before and had no luck

[rapid stag]

what is the full code of that? and your custom rarity, too

[wanton jolt]

its revo's rarity

[red flower]

if you want it when you apply it yourself then doesn't that mean you already have the function where you can apply the effect?

[red flower]

i dont remember any at the start of the run but there probably is one somewhere

[red flower]

do you have the code for the rarity

i can check revos repo i guess

hmm i dont see why that wouldn't work

[wanton jolt]

SMODS.Rarity({
    key = "p",
    badge_colour = G.C.RARITY[3],
    pools = {
        ["Joker"] = {
            rate = 0.01,
        },
    },
    default_weight = 0.01,
})

[rapid stag]

could you show us more of the surrounding code?

[rapid stag]

and it's just that one condition that doesn't work?

[wanton jolt]

yeah only the printer doesnt work

[vital wren]

found what i was looking for: context.card_added

[rapid stag]

and you're sure it's the rarity check that's not working? you've tried without and it enters?

[wanton jolt]

if i try without its just going to apply everywhere

[rapid stag]

if you're concerned about that when testing it, you could comment out the add sticker function and add a print

[wanton jolt]

everyWHERE EXCEPT THE PRINTER CARD???

@dreamy thunder

i'm commenting out the printer totem

while u try to see why this happens

[rapid stag]

what was it you commented out to test for this result, can you show

[wanton jolt]

i just removed the rarity check

[rapid stag]

ah

[wanton jolt]

so it applies to every card if the totem head is printer (which was the case)

[rapid stag]

yeah, i don't get why the rarity check doesn't work

i'm not familiar with revo's

[true jasper]

how would i change the rarity badge text for a specific joker

[rapid stag]

for a specific joker added by your mod, or for a vanilla joker

[true jasper]

joker added by my mod

[rapid stag]

define a set_card_type_badge function
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Joker

[frosty rampart]

(it's not so much "editing the rarity badge" as it is "skipping the rarity badge and letting you make your own")

[rapid stag]

yeah

[mystic river]

https://github.com/wingedcatgirl/Bibliography/blob/main/lib/vanillatweaks.lua#L10 example

(for your own joker, just skip the taking-ownership part)

[obtuse mortar]

hey hi hello im a Little Bit new here (joined like 50 minutes ago lol) and i come here in search of some help. only recently bought balatro on steam, though ive had an idea floating around in my head a bit. i did a very silly and Bad mod as a quick test and got some of the basics down, though im unsure of the specific syntax(?) used for stuff i had thought of and searching on my own yielded nothing.

Xmult scaling is the first thing ive not figured out yet. i Assume it’s just Xmult_scale similar to an example i saw using chip_scale but i still wanted to corroborate
resetting the scaling after a certain condition similar to Ride the Bus is another part that’s been stumping me (more on the specific condition later)
splash. just in general. i tried to look for what makes it count all cards in scoring in the source code but i couldn’t find anything and left feeling the fool myself

now, for any of this to work, the joker needs to check something which i gaslit myself into thinking was already in the game? but it isn’t, which complicates things quite a bit. i need to somehow check the sum of the base chip value for the played cards. ive no idea how to go about this At All. the gist of my idea was that, if the base value of the played cards was equal to the specified number, it would play out the splash effect and scale the Xmult. if the total went over, however, it would Not do that and reset back to 1x instead (the number is 21 it’s blackjack it’s just a blackjack joker)

but anyway, if anyone has any form of helping out that would be cool thamks. also my apologies for the big ass wall of text i just wanted to make sure i put out all the information at once skfjdkfjfj

[fading rivet]

the source code isn't very helpful for learning jokers and stuff

use vremade and the smods wiki instead

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/

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

also looking at other people's code helps

[sturdy compass]

There's also #1349064230825103441 and #1486847115127947374

[fading rivet]

man I wonder who made those

[sturdy compass]

I did not make the starter pack smh

[fading rivet]

yeah but the other one

[urban wasp]

any idea why this doesn't work? been asking for about a day now

check_for_unlock = function(self, args)
    return (
        (args.type == "win_stake" and get_deck_win_stake() == 5) and 
        (args.type == "win_deck" and get_deck_win_stake("b_red"))
    ) or (
        (args.type == "win_stake" and get_deck_win_stake() == 2) and
        (args.type == "win_deck" and get_deck_win_stake("b_blue"))
    )
end

on a deck btw

[idle plaza]

Because of how you've laid out your ands and ors, part of your condition effectively includes the statement args.type == "win_stake" and args.type == "win_deck". This is impossible, a variable cannot be two separate values at the same time like that.

In words, what exactly do you want your unlock condition to be?

[urban wasp]

this is my unlock condition

[idle plaza]

Try this:
return args.type == "win_stake" and (get_deck_win_stake("b_red") >= 5 or get_deck_win_stake("b_blue") >= 2)

[urban wasp]

it worked!

thank you

[idle plaza]

You're welcome.

[final jewel]

why does I get an extra box

[coral flume]

Was testing out tables, Does anyone know why this happens like a million times at round end?
Code:

if context.end_of_round then
      if card.ability.extra.count < 5 then
        card.ability.extra.count = card.ability.extra.count + 1
        print(Count[card.ability.extra.count])
        print(card.ability.extra.count)
      else if card.ability.extra.count == 5 then
        card.ability.extra.count = 1
        print(Count[card.ability.extra.count])
        print(card.ability.extra.count)
        end
      end
    end

[idle plaza]

context.end_of_roundis called during both context.main_eval and context.individual for each card in your deck

[coral flume]

oh lmao

Cheers :)

[tulip pecan]

how would I read the a config value from a sticker if the location I want to read it to isn't inside the sticker code? For instance, I know that I can read default extra values from a joker by using G.P_CENTERS.j_modprefix_key.config.extra, but I don't know how to do the same with a sticker.

[wary moth]

Is there a way to disable vanilla tarot cards, spectral cards, and tags from all showing up?
I know theres a mod out there that lets you manually set that up, but, it'd be cool if I could have it automatically do that for my mod

[tulip pecan]

Nvm, figured out that I can use SMODS.Sticker.obj_table.modprefix_stickerkey.config.extra

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
    if (v.set == 'Tarot' or v.set == 'Spectral') and not v.original_mod then
        SMODS.Consumable:take_ownership(v.key, {
            in_pool = function() return false end,
        }, true)
    end 
end
for k, v in pairs(G.P_TAGS) do
    if not v.original_mod then
        SMODS.Tag:take_ownership(v.key, {
            in_pool = function() return false end,
        }, true)
    end 
end

[wary moth]

Hell yeah awesome, ty
What function do I put this in? I haven't done anything aboutside of custom jokers just yet. Is it just in the main.lua somewhere?

[true jasper]

how do I change the color of the background of a joker description

[frosty dock]

in your main file is fine

[reef belfry]

how do people usually make a certain type of consumable in a consumable set appear less, something akin to soul

[daring fern]

hidden = true

[wintry solar]

Wait four hours and do it really easily

[reef belfry]

eh? cant I have a parameter set for how often it appears?

[daring fern]

soul_rate

[wintry solar]

In the next release you can just do weight = 0.1 for example which will be 100 times rarer

[reef belfry]

how timely convenient

[teal grotto]

how do you make a sticker incompatible with others like eternal/perishable

[reef belfry]

what API method am I supposed to use to use for the consumable to be updated in a booster pack?

and why is it returning high card and not 4oak since thats supposed to be the default

[red flower]

it's kinda hard to actually do due to how stickers are checked, it's really hard to make them actually incompatible with vanilla stickers too

[red flower]

made this like very long ago I think

so apologies if it seems really REALLY annoying to read

[red flower]

yeah if you set a value in config it's only set when you boot up the game

[reef belfry]

ahh

[red flower]

instead of saving it to config just replace the return in loc_vars for the mphand with that function

[frosty dock]

zeebee

[red flower]

you also don't need to update it in update, just use the function whenever you need the value

[reef belfry]

it uhhh still returns high card 😭

[frosty dock]

are you updating it in loc_vars?

[reef belfry]

whar

[frosty dock]

are you updating the value in your loc_vars function?

[reef belfry]

updating how

idk!!!

sorry!!

[reef belfry]

ahh found out why, tnx anyways!!

[final jewel]

Bump

[rapid stag]

do you have a loc_vars function for this? what does it look like if so

[final jewel]

yes

[rapid stag]

uhhhhh

what about generate_ui?

[final jewel]

I dont have that

thats weird right

[rapid stag]

this is the only thing you get an extra multibox for?

[final jewel]

yeah

[rapid stag]

are you doing any other description-related stuff, like patching vanilla code somewhere, or

[final jewel]

I have a patch but for credit

[rapid stag]

hmmm

[mystic river]

after updating the code, did you start a new run and get a new item?

[rapid stag]

yes, check a fresh instance

[final jewel]

I wasnt in a run when I check

I was in collection

[rapid stag]

ah

could i see the full joker code, then? i don't see how you could possibly have an extra random multibox

hm. i wonder if you assign your joker localization to a new key in the localization file, then return that key as an arg from loc_vars: key = 'your_new_key_here'

that might solve your issue

i'm trynna make a custom edition and this keeps crashing idk why

SMODS.Edition {
    key = 'test',
    shader = 'foil',
    prefix_config = {
        shader = true
    },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    end
}```
