fr

debugplus console my beloved

[valid sable]

currently my colors are working minus the inner text, did I tried a few things and this gets it to not crash the game but no color

[fringe oxide]

whenever i do i just break some shi, i aint trying to lose progress

[fading rivet]

ight I think this should work

[fading rivet]

git version control

[valid sable]

trial and errors just coding lmao

[fading rivet]

i've legit spent 6 hours today trying to line up a single UI element
git has been a life saver when I frick things up

its still not lined up 😭

[frosty rampart]

balatro ui my loathed

[fading rivet]

its not even the UI really

[valid sable]

should I just be able to do C:white instead of V:2?

[fading rivet]

its the moveable element crap

[frosty rampart]

odd, i'm not sure at this point. that seems correct
but yes you should be able to do C:white

[fading rivet]

this

those circles should be in the top left corner of the card

[frosty rampart]

if you don't mind, can i take a look at your drawstep and where you define the canvassprite? i know it's for the joker jam so feel free to censor as much as you need

[fringe oxide]

game crashed when i tried,

[valid sable]

c white works, how would I go about checking why V:2 wasn't working for future refrence tho?

[frosty rampart]

if you were going for white then the color was just wrong, hex color #000000 is black

[valid sable]

oh LOL

[frosty rampart]

now that's the key part of trial and error, the error should help you identify what to fix for the next try

[fringe oxide]

i cannot code

[valid sable]

classic game developer completely forgetting which way the hex colors go lmao

[fading rivet]

technicaly its a bit more complicated cuase its doing stencil shenangains, but I need the stencil to be in the right place first ;-;

[fading rivet]

sent

[frosty rampart]

take out the prep_draw call

[fading rivet]

image gets drawn in the top left corner of the screen and is static

[frosty rampart]

it sets things up for balatro UI's auto-scaled stuff, which you don't want for drawing to this canvas
the reason it gets drawn in the top left is you're not actually drawing to the canvas. you need to either call love.graphics.setCanvas to point it to the canvas that's attached to the canvassprite, or just call canvas_object:renderTo for all the rendering functions. whichever's more convenient

[fading rivet]

ooooooooh

thx

that explains why one of my earlier setups worked but had a weird paralax effect

[frosty rampart]

you want it to be drawn static in the top left of the canvas because that'll be the top left of the card when the canvas is then rendered on the card later lol

[fading rivet]

okay lemme go boot up balatro and fix this lol

tysm

actaulyl imma do this tmr i should eep

gn

[frosty rampart]

no problem, sleep well

[grizzled tide]

how do you clone a cardarea, ive been struggling to figure it out

[wary moth]

is there a way I can make a card "use" a tag?
Like, an example might be: "This jokers consumes Juggle tags to gain +1 hand size" as an example

[naive coral]

how do i make the odds on a jokers text go down when an oops is obtained, i.e from 1/2 to 0/2. because i have one effect that should get increased, and the other should decrease accordingly. i feel as though theres a simple way to do this but i just cant think it rn

[daring fern]

if context.tag_added and context.tag_added.key == 'tag_juggle' then
    return {func = function()
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                context.tag_added:remove()
                G.hand:change_size(1)
                return true
            end
        }))
    end}
end

[true jasper]

how do i add custom badges for cards

[daring fern]

For a specific card you would use the set_badges function, for all cards you would patch G.UIDEF.card_h_popup

[wary moth]

Thank you! I didnt know about tag:remove
Is there a way I can use the tag-used animation?
I noticed tag:yep does an animation kind of effect, and I might end up using that, but,
I was also wondering if I could apply the animation without removing the tag if I so desired?

[daring fern]

stop_use()
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    delay = 0.4,
    trigger = 'after',
    func = (function()
        attention_text({
            text = message,
            colour = G.C.WHITE,
            scale = 1, 
            hold = 0.3/G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED,
            cover = tag.HUD_tag,
            cover_colour = G.C.GREEN,
            align = 'cm',
            })
        play_sound('generic1', 0.9 + math.random()*0.1, 0.8)
        play_sound('holo1', 1.2 + math.random()*0.1, 0.4)
        return true
    end)
}))

[wary moth]

That.. is beautiful, thank you so much

[grizzled tide]

is there a way i can remove the sell button when its in a specific card area

[naive coral]

I am trying to create a joker that has a 1/2 to double mult, and 1/2 to half mult. the problem is, is after a player gets oops, they both display as 2 in 2 which is wrong due to the fact that only one of these can trigger and its always double. how do i make it so the half mult goes to 0/2 after obtaining oops?

[faint yacht]

Reword it as 1 in 2 chance to X2 Mult, otherwise X0.5 Mult?

[timid zinc]

can neither of the joker effects trigger?

[wary moth]

Is there a way to register a value to be saved with the run?

specifically just trying to save a value I have set in "config" in some of my tags, but, just curious in general, if I have any global variables I want to save, like anything I'm keeping track of during the run

[primal robin]

Everything serializeable set in G.GAME is saved

[grizzled tide]

is there a way to check how many joker slots a card takes up

im trying to figure out how many slots a highlighted group of jokers are taking up

[daring fern]

1+card.ability.extra_slots_used?

[grizzled tide]

thank you!

[wary moth]

Ooh awesome ty ty

[grizzled tide]

it doesnt work 😭

[daring fern]

Code?

[grizzled tide]

G.FUNCS.worm_can_release_colony = function(e)
  local tot_slots_used = 0
  for  _, joker in ipairs(G.specificcolony and G.specificcolony.highlighted or {}) do
    tot_slots_used = tot_slots_used + 1+joker.ability.extra_slots_used
  end
  local can_use = (G.jokers.config.card_limit >= tot_slots_used + #G.jokers.cards) and (#G.specificcolony.highlighted > 0)
  e.config.button = can_use and 'worm_release_colony' or nil
  e.config.colour = can_use and G.C.MULT or G.C.UI.BACKGROUND_INACTIVE
end

G.specificcolony is a cardarea

[naive coral]

yeah im just a bit stupid holy how didnt i think of this. also epic mod btw

im currently rewording jokers in my mod that im tryna create, so this makes things alot clearer

[naive coral]

how do i use info_queue[#1116390750314307698_queue + 1] in the loc_vars to display a string/ credit someone? i want it to show a name in a tooltip and i cant figure it out

[distant junco]

It feels like the Booster Packs I've made aren't deciding jokers based on rarity... idk what to do!!@@

[wintry solar]

What is your code?

[distant junco]

SMODS.Booster { key = 'jam_booster_1', loc_txt = { name = 'Jammbo Pack', text = { 'Choose {C:attention}1{} of', '{C:attention}2{} {C:red}Jambatro{} Jokers' }, group_name = 'Jambatro??' }, atlas = 'jam_boosters', pos = { x = 0, y = 0 }, draw_hand = false, cost = 5, discovered = true, weight = 7, pools = { ["Jamboosters"] = true }, config = { extra = 2, choose = 1 }, create_card = function(self, card) return {set = "Jambatro", area = G.pack_cards, skip_materialize = true, soulable = false, key_append = "jammbo"} end, }

[wintry solar]

And what’s the issue?

[distant junco]

It feels like rarity is not accounted for when I open the packs like I always get rares n stuff

[wintry solar]

What smods version are you currently using?

[distant junco]

Newest

Though I wrote this code a good while ago

[wintry solar]

I am pretty sure things should be working properly but I will investigate

Can you share where you set up your pool?

[distant junco]

The joker pool?

[wintry solar]

Yup

[distant junco]

SMODS.ObjectType({ key = "Jambatro", default = "j_jam_greg", cards = {}, inject = function(self) SMODS.ObjectType.inject(self) end, })

[coral flume]

Anyone know why this isn't working?

if context.selling_self and card.ability.extra.currounds >= card.ability.extra.maxrounds then 
      local chosen_joker = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, 'randomseed13')
      Card = chosen_joker
      Card:add_sticker('eternal')
    end

[wintry solar]

Do you have any optional features on too?

[distant junco]

Who are you replying to

[wintry solar]

You

[distant junco]

Idk what you mean by optional features

[wintry solar]

Do you do SMODS.current_mod.optional_features anywhere to turn on thins like quantum enhancements

[distant junco]

No

[wintry solar]

Okay I will have a look today and get back to you

[distant junco]

Thanks

[frosty dock]

overriding global Card...?

[daring fern]

local chosen_joker = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, 'randomseed13')
chosen_joker:add_sticker('eternal', true)

[coral flume]

Yeah wasnt my go to but I tried putting the local variable there and it wasnt working either so I tried exactly copying the wiki to see

[coral flume]

I had false instead of true in the bypass so maybe that was it (when I tried the local variable)

[frosty dock]

yep, without bypass_check it has to pass a 30% chance roll

[coral flume]

Oh interesting

wish it said that lol

[frosty dock]

the sticker API is still a tad bit wonky tbf

[coral flume]

I thought it related to sticker_compat variables on jokers

[frosty dock]

we're looking to refactor it at some point

[coral flume]

Swag as

[frosty dock]

it also does that

[daring fern]

No, without bypass_check it doesn't work ever because should_apply is false for vanilla stickers, and it has to exist for it to add the sticker.

[frosty dock]

oh right, shop jank

love that

[coral flume]

oh while i'm here, is there a quick way to make it avoid jokers with eternals already. Just remembered it should probably do that

[frosty dock]

what I said is true only for modded stickers

[frosty dock]

local eligible_jokers = {}
for _, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
  if not SMODS.is_eternal(v, card) then table.insert(eligible_jokers, v) end
end
local chosen_joker = psuedorandom_element(eligible_jokers, 'randomseed13')
if chosen_joker then chosen_joker:add_sticker('eternal', true) end

additionally you might want to add a compat check in the loop

[daring fern]

No, because it sets the bypass_roll input to true, so it doesn't check the roll.

[frosty dock]

yep, without bypass_check it has to pass a 30% chance roll

[daring fern]

Yes, it does that without bypass_check being set.

[frosty dock]

ok nvm

i forgor

[teal grotto]

    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    atlas = "pinned"
}, true)```why doesn't this work 😭

[daring fern]

Pinned is stored in card.pinned instead of card.ability.pinned, so it isn't drawn.

[teal grotto]

...

why

[naive coral]

how do i get tooltips to display any text i want?? i have no clue how to get it working

like the things that popup next to jokers when you hover over them

like how a sticker with perishable shows what it does next to the joker its on

[true jasper]

use an info queue
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#loc_vars

[naive coral]

yeah ik, i cant figure out how to add custom text into them

not the text of a joker or tarot, like text that i want, aside from creating a dummy joker

[true jasper]

#💻・modding-dev message

[naive coral]

i cannot figure out for the life of me what im doing wrong

some :'s are missing because of copy and paste or .txt files being funky

it just shows as a blank box

ive looked at 3 different mods, and im doing what they are i think, and not getting it to work

[slim ferry]

the text is not a string

[naive coral]

it is, its gone in the copy and paste

[slim ferry]

cant you just

upload the lua file instead of copying to a txt

[naive coral]

true

i jus didnt think of that because im dumb

[slim ferry]

i mean this wont go in the description

thats just an arbitrary string in config

[naive coral]

the way i understood it i thought that calling the card.ability string would make it appear

how would i get it there

[slim ferry]

i assume youre trying to add a tooltip with info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {key = 'Krypton_Deadin5s', set = 'Other', vars = {card.ability.extra.Deadin5s}}

[naive coral]

yes

[slim ferry]

but this creates a tooltip from the key Krypton_Deadin5s from localization files

under the category Other

[naive coral]

i think my braincells just created my first thought

if this is the case, holy i was braindamaged

OH MY GOD IM DUMB AS BRICKS

ok i think it got it now

yippeeeeeeeee

[wintry solar]

oh I forgot to ask, do you have any other mods running?

[fading rivet]

so I don't have a canvassprite object, only a drawstep

[wintry solar]

I am 95% sure that your packs have never used rarity and that you pool is just one enormous set. You need to define rarities on your object types, or switch to using new and improved functionality from zeebee (it's a bit buggy, fix coming soon)

[bold gyro]

how do you check/set if a card has a shadow? (eg. glass playing cards don't have a shadow)

[frosty dock]

as per the shadow DrawStep, the following (self is a Card instance):

if not self.no_shadow and G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.shadows == 'On' and((self.ability.effect ~= 'Glass Card' and not self.greyed and self:should_draw_shadow() ) and ((self.area and self.area ~= G.discard and self.area.config.type ~= 'deck') or not self.area or self.states.drag.is)) then

(yes, glass card is hardcoded)

• if it wasn't obvious, you can hook Card:should_draw_shadow() to change if shadow should be drawn

[glossy sky]

is there a variable that gets the boss blind requirement for the ante? I thought about using G.GAME.blind but that obviously only tracks the current blind. This is for a boss blind btw, so if there is a field on SMODS.Blind that has it that would also work for me.

[mystic river]

i believe that's Blind.chips
but tbh I'd just use debug plus to eval Blind and read the table myself

[glossy sky]

I guess I should clarify that I mainly need it to pass through loc_vars for the description, so blind.chips isn't an option here

[distant junco]

No

[bold eagle]

I'm currently trying to make it so that when my custom rarity "Whimsical" is on one of your jokers, the custom rarity "Evil" wont show up, but when you have a whiomsical joker nothing changes

SMODS.Rarity {
    key = "evil",
    default_weight = 10,
    badge_colour = HEX('690404'),
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Evil"
    },
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end,
    disable_if_empty = true,
    pools = {
        ["Joker"] = function(self,args)
            for i, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                if v:is_rarity("zwp_whimsical") or next(SMODS.find_card("j_zwp_propeller")) then
                    return false
                end
                return true
            end
        end
    }
}

the weight is at 10 for testing purposes

and the propeller joker is another joker that I want to have stopping evil ones but isnt whimsical

[bold eagle]

I still have zero clue whats going on

[maiden phoenix]

You got your return true in the for loop so it stops after the first joker

[bold eagle]

that didn't work

it still shows up

[maiden phoenix]

Do pools actually support functions?

[bold eagle]

thats a good question

i just figured anything did

[rapid stag]

given that pools contain mostly water, if you put a function in one, they will most likely short out and sustain water damage

[bold eagle]

so thats a no

[rapid stag]

i actually don't know

[bold eagle]

dang

[near heart]

Hello Zarcheus.

[bold eagle]

i mean, it would have to be recieving true somehow

[near heart]

It looks like we both have some questions at the same time.

how can i get the blinds current skip tag and how can i use it to give the player the skip tag?
ive tried 'G.GAME.round_resets.blind_tags[G.GAME.blind:get_type()]' based on something a previous person asked but i cant seem to figure out what this actually returns and how i can use it to give the player the skip tag i want mid blind

[maiden phoenix]

Something lazy you can do is put in your joker objects with the evil rarity this function

        in_pool = function(self)
            if G.jokers and G.jokers.cards and next(G.jokers.cards) then
                if next(SMODS.find_card("j_zwp_propeller")) then return false end
                for _, joker in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                    if joker:is_rarity("zwp_whimsical") then
                        return false
                    end
                end
            end
            return true
        end,

There's prob a better way but I've never messed with pools

[bold eagle]

that was my backup plan

[near heart]

This Zarcheus character is really pissing me off.

[tidal hemlock]

-starman, probably

[bold eagle]

im now having the issue of the rarity not being disabled once all jokers are out of it

unless im misinterpreting what disable_if_empty does

[near heart]

Noone will hear you scream Zarcheus.

I am not bullying anyone.

Especially Zarcheus985.

[maiden phoenix]

LSP says "Disables polling of the rarity if set to true if there are no available objects."

[bold eagle]

would that mean like, if I put no jokers into the rarity it doesnt show up or if I have all of the jokers in that rarity it wont show up

because I want to have the second one

[maiden phoenix]

I think it just means if you're polling from the empty rarity you won't get the default option?

[hardy vessel]

I'm having an issue with quantum enhancments and a Joker I have that gains chips when a card is enhanced. (Quantum enhancements cause the joker to gain chips four times). Is this because of a QE bug or is there a way to prevent the chip gain when a card gains a QE?

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_ability and not context.unchanged and G.P_CENTERS[context.new].set == 'Enhanced' then
            card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chips_mod
            return {
                message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS,
            }
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips
            }
        end
    end

[bold eagle]

ok, for some reason joker is still appearing when I have those cards

or when theyre out of the pool

[maiden phoenix]

Try adding and context.check_enhancement == false ?

[maiden phoenix]

What's your mod prefix and your rarity's key? add a print in the in_pool func joker loop that goes print(joker.config.center.rarity) to see what is exactly the name of the rarity just to see if it ain't a mismatch

[slim ferry]

The way quantum enhancements work is by using set_ability to change the enhancement for the other enhancements to calculate

I presume this is a steamodded bug

Since it should account for this

[bold eagle]

the jokers I made in the custom rarity are getting put out of the pool properly, but it's not removing the rarity from the pool of jokers that can appear, which makes the shop filled with jimbos

i worded my stuff poorly before

[hardy vessel]

seems like whatever issues started in 1501 haven't been fully fixed yet. shame

[maiden phoenix]

Maybe disabled_if_empty is bugged? idk sorry

[bold eagle]

ok, thanks for your help

[wintry solar]

smods version?

[bold eagle]

1224a

so after it was added

but newer versions would just crash immediately

[near heart]

i really hate being insistent but 🥹

[bold eagle]

i got a newer version of smods but disable_if_empty is still not working

SMODS.Rarity {
    key = "evil",
    default_weight = 0.15,
    badge_colour = HEX('690404'),
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Evil"
    },
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end,
    disable_if_empty = true,
    pools = {
        ["Joker"] = true
    }
}

[wintry solar]

Do you have debug plus?

[bold eagle]

yes

does that break it

[wintry solar]

Can you run eval get_current_pool("Joker", "INSERT YOUR RSRITY KEY HERE PLS", false, nil)

[bold eagle]

\

thats what it gave me

[wintry solar]

Okay now this one eval local t = {}; for I=1, 1000 do local r = SMODS.poll_rarity('Joker'); t[r or "none"] = (t[r or "none"] or 0) + 1 end print(t)

[rigid solar]

hey eremel while you're here, do you have an idea on when a new release with properly working attributes will be released?

really cool feature

[wintry solar]

They already properly work 😭

[rigid solar]

i mean with the features on the dev version

Card:has_attribute crashes rn lol

[frosty dock]

the current release is broken in several ways, so there's another one coming your way soon

[wintry solar]

Today or tomorrow

[rigid solar]

ok nice thx

[wintry solar]

It looks like it’s working fine?

[bold eagle]

hm

for some reason jimbos are showing up

[frosty rampart]

literally just got fixed

[rigid solar]

yeah because i literally just reported it 😛

[frosty dock]

VIP issue :p

[rigid solar]

wut

[wintry solar]

I used my mind powers to control N to implement the fix

[frosty dock]

we're not always this fast

[bold eagle]

the message changes depending on whether or njot I have an evil joker

which is another custom rarity

[wintry solar]

Isn’t that what you said it should do?

[bold eagle]

i

i dont really know

[rigid solar]

work faster!1!1!1!!1! /j yall doing god's work

[bold eagle]

does the high number mean iots not there?

[wintry solar]

No the number is how many times that rarity will appear if you picked 1000 jokers

[bold eagle]

im trying to make it so that when you have all the jokers in a rarity that rarity wont show up any more

ah

[bold eagle]

how do i make this happen

[maiden phoenix]

Sorry it totally flew by I'll give it a look rq

[near heart]

thank you

[bold eagle]

there are no jokers for it to pull from in zwp_whimsical

[maiden phoenix]

This is basically what you have to put

        if context.setting_blind then
            add_tag(Tag(G.GAME.round_resets.blind_tags[G.GAME.blind:get_type()]))
        end

Not sure if this handle the orbital tag issue or not

[fading rivet]

jimbo

[near heart]

whats the orbital tag issue

[bold eagle]

but theres disable if empty

[near heart]

i try it out on an orbital tag see what happens

[maiden phoenix]

Basically there used to be an issue where if you just straight up add a tag, G.orbital_hand doesn't get set, meaning it's nil meaning it crashes

[bold eagle]

so wouldnt that make it stop jimbos?

[near heart]

im getting this error regardless of the tag type

lemme try something

[maiden phoenix]

Paste a screenshot of your code?

[sly heron]

My game crashes because of the atlas I made for the joker heres the code:
SMODS.Atlas { key = 'pomni', path = 'pomni.png', px = 71, py = 95 }
can someone help me fix it?

[near heart]

nvm i know why it happened

[fading rivet]

???

uhhh

do you have debugplus installed

[maiden phoenix]

What's the crash?

[fading rivet]

#⚙・modding-support

[maiden phoenix]

Is your file named "jeej_pomni" ?

[fading rivet]

run this in the console
eval for key, _ in pairs(SMODS.Atlases) do print(key) end

[sly heron]

yes

[fading rivet]

oh wait ib blind thats filedata

yeah whats your file named

and you have both 1x and 2x

[sly heron]

Nwm, i fixed i put 1x and 2x folder insde other folder

[near heart]

originally the idea for the joker was to give you a dupe of the skip tag when you skipped so i think since it triggers after it gives you the tag the blind technically doesnt have a tag type anymore so it returns nil and crashes
the idea for the joker was a little boring in the first place so im gonna change it to a different condition

[fading rivet]

[maiden phoenix]

Replace the context check with context.skip_blind?

[near heart]

thats what was causing the error in the first place sorry

[maiden phoenix]

Oh oop

[near heart]

having it as setting_blind worked fine

youre all good with helping me thank you 👍

[wintry solar]

Your rarities are set up wrong then

[bold eagle]

SMODS.Rarity {
    key = "whimsical",
    default_weight = 0,
    badge_colour = HEX('FF1AFF'),
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Whimsical"
    },
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end,
    disable_if_empty = true,
    pools = {
        ["Joker"] = true
    },
}    

thats the zwp_whimsical rarity

[maiden phoenix]

Maybe save the tag's key (the long line without the Tag()) in your joker's config during context.ending_shop then when you skip call the tag from your joker's config?

Not sure if ending_shop is too early

[bold eagle]

the weight is not normally 0

but thats not whats breaking things

[bold eagle]

whats wrong with it

[shell timber]

is disable_if_empty a thing?

[maiden phoenix]

Wiki and LSP says so

Saw a lovely patch use it too so ig

[wintry solar]

What about the in pool functions you’re using to control the pool

[bold eagle]

what

oh the ones in the joker?

[wintry solar]

Ye

[bold eagle]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "whimsyman",
    atlas = "placeholders",
    pos = {
        x = 0,
        y = 0
    },
    rarity = "zwp_whimsical",
    in_pool = function(self, args)
                for i, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                    if v:is_rarity("zwp_evil") then
                        return false
                    end
                end
                for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards or {}) do
                    if SMODS.has_enhancement(playing_card, 'm_zwp_whimsical') then
                        return true
                    end
                end
                
                return false
                
            end,
}

thats the only whimsical joker

[wintry solar]

An the evil joker?

[bold eagle]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "evilman",
    atlas = "placeholders",
    pos = {
        x = 0,
        y = 0
    },
    rarity = "zwp_evil",
    in_pool = function(self)
        if G.jokers and G.jokers.cards and next(G.jokers.cards) then
            if next(SMODS.find_card("j_zwp_propeller")) then return false end
            for _, joker in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                if joker:is_rarity("zwp_whimsical") then
                    return false
                end
            end
        end
        return true
    end,
}

[wintry solar]

What do you get running this code on a fresh run

[bold eagle]

this

[wintry solar]

Okay that looks accurate

If you give yourself the evil joker?

[wintry solar]

That also looks fine

If you remove that and add the whimsical one?

[wintry solar]

That looks less fine

[bold eagle]

yeah

and then the shop gets filled with jimbos

more so than it was

[bold eagle]

and if I buy the evil card it says the same thing as this

[wintry solar]

Is your mod on GitHub?

[bold eagle]

yeah

can i send the link here

[wintry solar]

Yeah I’ll try take a look this evening

[bold eagle]

https://github.com/Zarcheus3/ZacsWhimsyPack

[zenith quarry]

    end```  i have this so far how do i check if any of the jokers have any stickers on them like eternal or rental or perishable

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-if-a-card-has-a-specific-editionenhancementsealsticker

there's no good way to check for any sticker, especially if you want to take into account other modded stickers

[zenith quarry]

i just want to check vanilla stickers

is that possible or no

[frosty rampart]

then the link i gave you answers that question

[zenith quarry]

ok let me check it out

this is actualy really helpful for other stuff to

thanks

[frosty rampart]

yep, happy modding

[zenith quarry]

one more question i dont know if the link you sent has this but is there a way to remove the stickers

[fading rivet]

card.sticker_key = nil iirc

its the same way you check if it has the sticker

but you set it to nil instead of checking for true

card.ability.sticker_key = nil

[zenith quarry]

ohh that makes sense

[zenith quarry]

i was checking for it like this though G.jokers.cards[i].ability.rental

[fading rivet]

hmmm

[zenith quarry]

but i might switch it to the way you sent

[zenith quarry]

G.jokers.cards[i].ability.sticker_key == _____________

[slim ferry]

card:remove_sticker("sticker_key")

iirc

[zenith quarry]

sorry but what does iirc mean

[slim ferry]

if i recall correctly

[zenith quarry]

oh ok

[slim ferry]

difference between this and directly removing the sticker value is that values related to the sticker will not remain

e.g. perishable round counter

[fading rivet]

oh didn't know that existe

[zenith quarry]

so i can check for perishable then remove perishable by putting card:remove_sticker("perishable")

?

[slim ferry]

yea

[zenith quarry]

or instead of card do G.jokers..cards

[1]

i

[slim ferry]

i mean its whatever card object yeah

that

[fading rivet]

yeah as long as you got the card object

[zenith quarry]

ok

[fading rivet]

[CARD OBJECT]:remove_sticker("key")

[slim ferry]

also if you want to reliably remove all modded stickers you can do

for _, sticker in ipairs(SMODS.Sticker.obj_buffer) do
    if card.ability[sticker] then card:remove_sticker(sticker) end
end

where card is again a given card object

[zenith quarry]

im not that good at modding but what does in ipairs do

[slim ferry]

loops over every element of a table

[zenith quarry]

oh ok

[frosty dock]

every element with a numerical key in order*

[slim ferry]

theres pairs and ipairs for this, difference being that ipairs only does integer indexes but always does so in order

yeah

ipairs will loop index 1, 2, 3, etc until it runs into a nil, pairs does everything in an arbitrary* order

not actuall arbitrary i think but its based on the order values are stored in memory? which isnt something you really have control over

[frosty dock]

it's undefined behavior iirc

[zenith quarry]

i did this but with multiple rentals its only removing one each hand played for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do if context.joker_main then if G.jokers.cards[i].ability.rental then return { G.jokers.cards[i]:remove_sticker("rental"), message = 'Rental', colour = G.C.RED, } end end end

[slim ferry]

returning immediately ends the current function

also i recommend you put the loop inside of the context check rather than the other way around

[zenith quarry]

ok but how do i not end the function immediantly

[slim ferry]

store a local value that gets set to true if any rentals are found, then return after the loop if that value is true

[zenith quarry]

        if context.joker_main then
            local rent = false
            if G.jokers.cards[i].ability.rental then
            return {
              rent = true
              message = 'Rental',
              colour = G.C.RED,
            }
            end
        end
    end```  something like this

[slim ferry]

no

if context.joker_main then
    local rent = false
    for _, c in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if c.ability.rental then
            rent = true
            c:remove_sticker("rental")
    end
    if rent then
        return { message = 'rental', colour = G.C.RED }
    end
end

the ipairs loop is essentially the same as the previous one

except c replaces G.jokers.cards[i]

[zenith quarry]

am i able to just remove the return

[slim ferry]

you can also do that yeah

[zenith quarry]

final question how do i detect when the joker is sold

[maiden phoenix]

context.selling_self

[frosty dock]

you might want to know about https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[zenith quarry]

im new to making decks but how do i set the hand size equal to the size of the deck ``` SMODS.Atlas{
key = 'SD',
path = 'Rainbow.png',
px = 71,
py = 95
}

SMODS.Back{
key = 'SD',
atlas = 'SD',
pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
config = {
hands = -3,
discards = -3,
dollars = 0,
hand_size = __
},
apply = function(self, deck)
end
} ``` i have this right now

[daring fern]

Do you want the hand size to always be the same as the amount of cards in the deck or only at the start of the run?

[zenith quarry]

the whole run

but i actual just figured it out

i had to use calculate to constantly set the hand size

[near heart]

is there a thing i can call to get the chips scored from the current hand

[daring fern]

SMODS.calculate_round_score()

[near heart]

thank you somethingcom515 seals on ever

[near heart]

i am encountering the nil orbital tag issue is there a remedy]

[near heart]

.

[fringe oxide]

how do you change the joker that shows when you boot up the game into another, modded joker (or a pool of jokers maybe?)

[mystic river]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/The-Mod-Object#modmenu_cards---table

[fringe oxide]

you know when jimbo shows up and all the playing cards get sucked into him

i mean that one, not the main menu

[mystic river]

ah
there's not a defined way to do that yet, but if you look through the vanilla code you can probably find the right thing to patch

[fringe oxide]

alr

[fringe oxide]

also,,, how do i make my custom packs stop saying "ERROR" ?

[mystic river]

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

[fringe oxide]

is the loc_txt supposed to be like this

[mystic river]

that is not how tables are formed

[fringe oxide]

table?
i cant code lol

[mystic river]

https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html

[shell timber]

this is a valid way to make a table actually

its ugly as hell but it is valid

[frosty dock]

this is not valid syntax

[shell timber]

wait nvm i didnt read,

[frosty dock]

change loc_txt = {Item Pack} to loc_txt = {

[fringe oxide]

itll still say error,

thats how it looked last time

[frosty dock]

remove group_key

[fringe oxide]

just this part or the whole thing?

[frosty dock]

the whole line

[fringe oxide]

alr

[fringe oxide]

works now! thx

[timid zinc]

is there any way to make a boss blind not affect the background

[near coral]

The non-boss blinds in my mod are making the ante go up like boss blinds, how can this be fixed

[wintry solar]

There isn’t any support for non boss blinds at the moment

[wild patrol]

Could probably add some spaghetti code by using the ante code subtract 1 instead of adding one when the boss is defeated

If it triggers at the same time shouldn't really be noticeable

That it's adding then subtracting 1

[naive coral]

how do i make a jokers shake, like invisible, to signify its ability is ready?

[maiden phoenix]

Idr the exact name but look for a juice_until function for reference

[naive coral]

k

[near coral]

What

Are you saying every blind makes the ante go up by default but mods just have to work around it?

[wintry solar]

There are no methods within smods to have custom blinds not as a boss blind

[naive coral]

does ortalab do that?

i swear they had custom normal blinds

[true jasper]

Yes but it's not built into smods

[naive coral]

ig he could consume that code to do what he wants tho

[onyx sonnet]

Trying to make a UI element similar to the poker hand nodes in the run info, but with a tooltip which uses loc_vars and text styling, but i can't figure out how to do that.
on_demand_tooltip doesnt satisfy my needs but the text im representing doesn't belong to a SMODS.Center and it also needs to use more than 1 color (so text styling akin to a card description) and DynaText doesnt seem to be able to do that

[naive coral]

anyone know why this edition doesnt retrigger the joker its on?

[elder rune]

For shaders, how would you get the screen width and height

[naive coral]

this code works fine if i say if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card ~= self then instead of
if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card == self then,
but this retriggers all other jokers which is not what i want. anyone know wy?

i want the edition to retrigger JUST the joker its on

[daring fern]

if (context.repetition or context.retrigger_joker_check) and context.other_card == card then
    return {repetitions = 1}
end

[naive coral]

PEAKKKKK

TY dude i can sleep now

[wary moth]

trying to apply foil to selected cards, and this is what I currently got:

for _, card in ipairs(G.hand.highlighted) do
  if card and card.set_edition then
    card:set_edition("e_foil", true)
  end
end

but, it sets the edition for ALL cards at the same time, and the sound stacks together to be really loud
Is there any way for me to either ONLY play the 1 sound, or, delay the applying foil effect per card?

[naive coral]

you could change the sound of foil to 0.2

yeah, im bad at coding how could you tell

or use the event manager and add a 0.1 delay

for _, card in ipairs(G.hand.highlighted) do
if card and card.set_edition then
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
trigger = 'after',
delay = 0.4,
func = function()
card:set_edition("e_foil", true)
delay = 0.1
return true
end
}))
end
end

[naive coral]

this might work

[wary moth]

oh wait

I found documentation on it

[naive coral]

nice

then again tho the sound is ear candy

maybe just use a delay and event manager

[wary moth]

I tried doing the G.E_MANAGER strat and it just reapplies the foil to the same card infinite times without any delay (even though I set delay) and it just blows out your ear lol

[naive coral]

oh wow lol

if it was my code sorry im not the best

[wary moth]

I didnt put delay = 0.1 inside the function, I'll try that I suppose

[wintry solar]

Just delete the true

[wary moth]

nah it was my code from earlier

[wary moth]

Yeah I noticed that field

yeah deleting the "true" did exactly what it should do, delayed the application to each card

sorry for the dumb questions, I am struggling to find documentation on these functions, I had to find like, obscure website that had the documentation on that function

[naive coral]

i feel that, but no question is a dumb question only you before it gets answered. then you become smart :D

thats my thought when i ask something its to not be as dumb

[wary moth]

Yup! slowly learning

[naive coral]

i feel like i know so much about modding, and then i try something i havent before and get stumped for like 2 hours

[wary moth]

Heres what I was workin on. I got on-click effects for my tags in my mod

[frosty dock]

neat

[onyx sonnet]

bump

[frosty dock]

SMODS.localize_box should be useful to you

[onyx sonnet]

ive been trying to figure out how to use it but there's nothing about it in the smods wiki for UI and i havent found examples within smods itself

[elder rune]

[sly heron]

I have problem with codeing my joker I want it to if there is a 3 in playing hand retrigger it three times and scale the xmult by 1.3 but It dosent work, is there anything I could fix it?
Heres code:
calculate = function (self,card,context) if context.repetiton then if context.cardarea == G.play and context.indvidual and not context.blueprint then if context.other_card:get_id() == 3 then SMODS.scale_card(card, { ref_table = card.ability.extra, ref_value = "XMult", scalar_value = "xmultgain" }) return { message = "Three!", repetitons = 3, Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.XMult, card =card, } end end end end

[mystic river]

you misspelled individual
also I'm not sure that context happens during repetition? but it definitely doesn't happen misspelled so fix that and see what happens

[vast bough]

can ease_dollars be used everywhere, across consumables, enhancements, jokers, etc. what is the point of using it over dollars =

[mystic river]

you don't have to return inside a calculate to use ease_dollars

[vast bough]

so is it just a net positive to use ease dollars

[mystic river]

but i think returning dollars=something ends up using ease_dollars in the end anyway

[mystic river]

I'm not sure that's necessarily true

[vast bough]

we will find out haha

[sly heron]

so small update I removed context reptetition and the scaling works but retriggering still dosent work.

[mystic river]

yeah you have to do these things separately

[sly heron]

Oh, ok.

[slim ferry]

Returning dollars in calculate gives an automatic message

and properly times it to when the joker animation plays

for anything outside calculate ease_dollars is the only option anyway

[sly heron]

how do I that?

[safe dawn]

Does anyone know how I would add credits to Jokers?
Also displaying side information, eg negative edition

[frosty dock]

the humble SMODS.calculate_effect:

[slim ferry]

i guess

Thanks

[ancient mango]

is there a vscode extension for smods

[frosty dock]

smods comes with lua lsp definitions, you just need to set it up to look for them or have smods open in your workspace

[ancient mango]

i dont get it

how do i do it

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#3-set-up-the-lua-lsp

[ancient mango]

i dont think it works

[pastel kernel]

do you check if ante is <= 4 like this?

if G.GAME.round_resets.ante  <= 4 then

[red flower]

is this a folder with all three or just a workspace
the latter doesn't work

also i recommend setting up the luarc file

[ancient mango]

workspace? also how do i setup the luarc

[red flower]

what do you mean did you read the link 😭

[ancient mango]

i did and i was confused what to put in the luarc

do i put this?

{
  "Lua.workspace.library": ["path/to/smods", "path/to/lovely/dump"]
}

[red flower]

yes

[ancient mango]

oh 😭

[red flower]

replace the paths of course

[ancient mango]

what does this mean

[red flower]

you might need to remove the "Lua." but i don't think so

[red flower]

that 'Lua.' might not be needed

it is needed when using the global vscode file

[ancient mango]

like

{
  "workspace.library": ["path/to/smods", "path/to/lovely/dump"]
}
```?

[red flower]

yeah

[ancient mango]

also would
%AppData%/Balatro/Mods/smods
work instead of
C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Roaming/Balatro/Mods/smods

in the path

[red flower]

i dont think so

[ancient mango]

😭

[red flower]

maybe it does idk never tried

[ancient mango]

lemme try

it still doesnt work

[red flower]

where did you add the file

[red flower]

.luarc.json

[ancient mango]

ah

it works

smods works with %AppData% but lovely/dump doesnt lol

i originally wanted to play hot potato but my texture pack stopped working cause i updated smods so ive spent the past 1-2h trying to fix it

[short girder]

does anyone know where the scoring happens in the game engine? needing it for a patch

[slim ferry]

somewhere in functions/common_events iirc

G.FUNCS.evaluate_play

[pastel kernel]

something's fucking up my balatro

[short girder]

it's actually in state_events but this helped a ton, thanks ✌️

[sly heron]

How do I use balance?

[mystic river]

return balance = true in your calculation table

[sly heron]

Thanks

[pastel kernel]

How do you check for money change

[grizzled tide]

do you guys happen to know how to grab the shop queue (as well as set the shop queue)

[elder rune]

context.money_altered

and context.from_shop when buying

context.amount is how much its changing

[frosty rampart]

what's your goal
there are some contexts for forcibly creating certain cards in shop or modifying cards that are already created, like the joker and edition tags

[grizzled tide]

i want to make a joker which rewinds the shop queues once sold

[pastel kernel]

checking for when you redeem a specific voucher

[torpid flicker]

how do i make a jokers sprite change based on a condition?

ive seen set_sprite_pos() but idk how that function works i cant find documentation for it

[fading rivet]

it changes the position of the sprite in the atlas

[torpid flicker]

what are the args for it?

[fading rivet]

pos

which is a table akin to the one in defining the joker

[torpid flicker]

ok!

thanks

[fading rivet]

np

[elder yoke]

Hey guys, can any of you please help me with this problem? Im learning coding right now and i have made a joker card. the code and all works fine, it's just that the card itself is for some reason invisible. Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?
https://medal.tv/nl/games/balatro/clips/mrYZmFRyfPF7apOxD?invite=cr-MSx2a1ksMjMyNDg4MTQz&v=15

[dreamy lodge]

Did you set the atlas/pos correctly?

[elder yoke]

i think? im not sure

im getting help from someone else right now

[maiden phoenix]

Does your mod have an asset folder? With 1x and 2x in it with your spritesheet in both?

[elder yoke]

Yeah i do have it, alongside images linked to it.

[maiden phoenix]

Does your pic file name goes [modprefix]_[key] ?

[slim ferry]

Is the file path + extension correct

Wait no

That cant be the issue nvm

[elder yoke]

im getting help from someone else rn, and they know what's wrong with it

[slim ferry]

What do you have set for the pos in the joker

Oh okay

[elder yoke]

ty for the help anyway

[maiden phoenix]

Yea if they can load the game it aint a file issue

Oh

[elder yoke]

okay so the mistake was the pos coordinates, which i didn't really know much about. it's fixed now.

[tidal hemlock]

#1490007266215198891
would love if i get some programmers on the team, i dont know lua/coding at all

things will be added after other things are added to the mod (the two addeds, thanks english language)

[ancient mango]

is there an example for atlas?

[tulip pecan]

I'm using this code to replace all blinds with boss blinds, but the ante always increases every time you beat one, even if its the one replacing the small or big blind. How would I fix this?

[true jasper]

SMODS.Atlas({
key = "yourkeyhere",
path = "placeholder.png", -- must be  assets/1x/placeholder.png as well as the 2x folder
px = 71, -- width for most objects
py = 95, -- height for most objects
})```
-# no indentation since I'm on mobile

[ancient mango]

you couldve used spaces for indent

its monospace

[true jasper]

[ancient mango]

SMODS.Atlas({
 key = "yourkeyhere",
 path = "placeholder.png", -- must be  assets/1x/placeholder.png as well as the 2x folder
 px = 71, -- width for most objects
 py = 95, -- height for most objects
})

look

[wild patrol]

[tidal hemlock]

why is it 0.5X blind size lmao

[primal robin]

hey look it's ranran

[wild patrol]

balancing attempt

if chat is playing for u it's to make up for them playing poorly on purpose

it's a forced ante 1 boss

where chat plays the game for u

[grizzled tide]

does SMODS.current_mod.calculate happen before or after joker calculates

[wintry solar]

after

[grizzled tide]

sweet, thank you

[median veldt]

the retrigger context is going over my head

nvm i just remembered that vremade exists

[bold eagle]

I have an issue where even when the jokers in my custom rarity aren't in the pool, the rarity is still put into the pool of jokers that can appear, causing the shop to be filled with jimbos, with disable_if_empty not working

ignore the first 2 jokers they work fine

cause they aren't in custom rarities

[rapid stag]

i remember asking this before, but i forgot the answer : during context.selling_self, does #G.jokers.cards include or exclude the card being sold

[grizzled tide]

I'm using smods.current_mod.calculate to get retriggers, but the message keeps appearing in the deck rather than the card im retriggering and SMODS.calculate_effect({repetitions = 1}, joker) end doesn't work

[naive coral]

how do i make a joker twice as likely to appear in shops and booster packs for every copy of itself owned?

[daring fern]

message_card = context.other_card

[wary moth]

how do you (without context) check if the game state is in a shop?

[daring fern]

if G.STATE == G.STATES.SHOP

[wary moth]

awesome ty, you're a legend

[zealous path]

how do i make this not lag like hell

[naive coral]

bump

[daring fern]

You can't, unless you implement your own version of quantum enhancements.

[daring fern]

Enable the object_weights optional feature and:

get_weight = function(self, weight)
    return weight*(2^#SMODS.find_card(self.key))
end

[naive coral]

thank you sooo much bro i could not figure out how get _ weight worked for the life of me

the documentation was vague (at least for me) and no mods had i that i owned

[coral flume]

How would I go about 'tutoring' for a card? Like drawing a specific card to hand

[naive coral]

can i make a card count as all rarities

[daring fern]

Yes, hook Card:is_rarity

how to detect if a specific joker has appeared in shop?

[vital wren]

how would i just force a card to be scored regardless of when it's happening? i'm trying to make 3s in hand get scored as if they were played whenever a hand is played. code:

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card:get_id() == 3 and not context.end_of_round then
    local _context = {
        main_scoring = true,
        individual = true,
        cardarea = G.play,
        repetition = context.repetition,
    }
    return {
        pre_func = function()
            print("attempting to score 3s in hand")
            SMODS.calculate_effect(eval_card(context.other_card, _context))
        end,
    }
end```
the `pre_func` is working; i can see the `print`. but the `eval_card` doesn't seem to be returning anything that's being calculated

[frosty dock]

you'd have a hard time with that since stuff may just iterate though G.hand.cards directly

consider drawing them to play and returning them to hand after

[vital wren]

i was considering that. maybe in context.before just add them to G.play?

[slim ferry]

you can achieve this with an SMODS.score_card hook, i dont have it on hand rn but if you dont care about stuff like midas mask triggering it should be fine

[vital wren]

i want it to trigger anything and everything that would normally get triggered by playing the card

[naive coral]

i think that a legendary joker in paperback does something similar, maybe look for inspiration?

[wary moth]

I know that G.GAME will save serializable information to it onto the run
Is there something like that for the whole save-file? Like, if I wanted to keep track of high scores on cards for example?

[daring fern]

local oldsmodsscorecard = SMODS.score_card
function SMODS.score_card(card, context)
    if not G.scorehand and context.cardarea == G.hand and card:get_id() == 3 and next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key')) then
        G.scorehand = true
        context.cardarea = G.play
        SMODS.score_card(card, context)
        context.cardarea = G.hand
        G.scorehand = nil
    end
    return oldsmodsscorecard(card, context)
end

[daring fern]

G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile]

[wary moth]

Then do I just add whatever values I want to that and it gets saved the same way as G.GAME?
like G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].someValueToSave = 101?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wary moth]

perfect thank you so much

Oh!
Quick question, was trying to set the reroll cost in the shop to $0 (like the D6 tag effect) for my own clickable tag system, but, the vanilla-remake mod I was referencing did not appear to work when I copied what they did over, which is:

tagClickEffects["tag_dishevel_d6"] = function(tag)
    if G.STATE ~= G.STATES.SHOP then
        return cantUseTagMessage(tag, "Not in shop?")
    end
    if tryUseCharge(tag, G.C.GREEN, "Rerolls Reset!") then
        G.GAME.round_resets.temp_reroll_cost = 0
        calculate_reroll_cost(true)
        return true
    end
    return false
end

any ideas?

(you can ignore most of that, just whats inside the "if tryUseCharge()" block)

[silk latch]

Mfw someone streaming with no viewers gets that blind

[wild patrol]

just type the commands urself in chat

[silk latch]

Yeah but that's boring

[wild patrol]

probably add something make it a regular boss if nobody is in chat

but I don't see why you'd play this mod with no viewers lol

minimum is at least 1

for everything to work

The entire mod is based on chat vs streamer interactions lol

how would i make this compatible with oops?

it is and thats not the problem

[ancient mango]

three ` instead of one

[frosty dock]

return "pkr_youstupid"

[ancient mango]

this
is
three

this is one

[frosty dock]

and return an empty table in evaluate when the condition fails

rn you're returning nothing when a single card is selected

[ancient mango]

does print() work, if not is there someone else that will work

[frosty dock]

print works. it doesn't expand tables unless you have debugplus though

[ancient mango]

Wherr does it print to

Also what do you mean expand tables

[frosty dock]

the lovely console. you can also view logs in-game with debugplus

[frosty dock]

if you print a table, it will display like table: 0xdeadbeef, but with debugplus it displays the contents of the table

[ancient mango]

Like þe black terminal window þat opens wiþ baltro

that pip structures of the 9

it pains me

[ancient mango]

the what pains you?

@gilded blaze

[gilded blaze]

how suit pips are structured on the 9

[ancient mango]

why?

its symetrical

[gilded blaze]

I'm too used to the standard one

also the 7 😭

[ancient mango]

yea well the normal ones make me want to kill someone (cause autism) its so uneven the normal ones

[rigid solar]

let's goooo

?

[sly heron]

my game crashes when tried to play a sound (that path exists, idk why it carshes with this message).

[slim ferry]

mod prefix

[sly heron]

Game crashed while checking my custom poker hand

[silent sail]

im very confused, i have an edition with a chance based effect but it seems to steal the odds of any card that has odds

ok i fixed the description but now its stealing odds without telling me

[viscid talon]

Can challenges have a custom consumable slot number? if so, how would i program that in?

would smth like { id = 'consumable_slot', value = 4 }, work?

[mystic river]

idk if there's anything programmed in already, but those entries mainly serve as lines in the description (with vanilla having some hard coded effects if it sees any it recognizes)
using an apply function will definitely work

[frosty rampart]

yea if challenges don't have something specific you're looking for, the apply function will let you do literally anything to the run

[mystic river]

the calculate function can also do things

though in this case it wouldn't work very well

[silent sail]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)

    local info_queue_0 = G.P_CENTERS["p_baggutro_blackseal"]
    if info_queue_0 then
        info_queue[[#1116390750314307698](/guild/1116389027176787968/channel/1116390750314307698/)_queue + 1] = info_queue_0
    end
end,

is this the correct way to info que for a consumable?

[viscid talon]

apply function........

[slim ferry]

p is not the consumable prefix

[mystic river]

seals don't live in G.P_CENTERS, they live in G.P_SEALS
(kinda arbitrary but that's thunk)
though I'm unclear if you can info queue a seal directly like a center; it's a smods function

[slim ferry]

but consumable info queues are the exact same as any other object

[frosty rampart]

as per the documentation, it's just a function that's run once at the start of the run
the game should save any changes to cardarea sizes

[gilded blaze]

why not, ever heard of Spectral cards that add seals?

[slim ferry]

you can info queue seals like that yeah

[viscid talon]

-- [REDACTED]
SMODS.Challenge {
    key = 'redacted',
    config = { consumable_slot = 2 },
    rules = {
        modifiers = {
            { id = 'joker_slots', value = 3 },
        }
    },
    jokers = {
        { id = 'redacted', eternal = true },

        G.GAME.starting_params.consumable_slots = G.GAME.starting_params.consumable_slots + self.config.consumable_slot
    end,
}```

ive redacted certain info to prevent spoilers (this is NOT for the joker jam)

but would tbis be right

[silent sail]

yeah thats exactly what im replicating

[gilded blaze]

uh, why modify joker slots conventionally, but not consumable slots in the same way?

[mystic river]

apply doesn't take a "challenge" parameter, just self
this won't break anything today since you don't use it anyway, but it might if you come back in future and think it does something

[mystic river]

please scroll up

[gilded blaze]

this works, but the id would be consumable_slots

[viscid talon]

oe

[gilded blaze]

this is the piece of code that handles modifying starting parameters

[silent sail]

loc_vars = function(info_queue)
info_queue[#1116390750314307698_queue + 1] = G.P_SEALS["p_baggutro_blackseal"]
end,
is this right?

because its not working

[slim ferry]

p is not the prefix for a seal

seals do not have a class prefix

[mystic river]

that I in the length is erroneously capitalized
lua is case sensitive

info_queue is a different variable from Info_queue

[slim ferry]

discord just does that

try typing #1116390750314307698 without it capitalizing

[silent sail]

oh its not capitalised in my code how has it done that

[mystic river]

ah, discord
probably use the code markup. impossible to demonstrate but just wrap your code in triple backticks

[median veldt]

#1116390750314307698

[mystic river]

` <- that guy, probably lives left of 1

[median veldt]

what the fuck

#info

yeah there you go

[mystic river]

#1116390750314307698rmatively

[silent sail]

        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_SEALS["p_baggutro_blackseal"]

#awaw

why does it do that with only the letter i

wow that's both specific and thorough

what the hell 🥹

[frosty rampart]

#1116390750314307698

[mystic river]

hey so what's with the p_? that's not the prefix for seals. they don't have a prefix. i don't think p is the prefix for anything actually

[slim ferry]

p is the prefix for booster packs

[mystic river]

oh yeah those guys

[silent sail]

i removed it but it still doesnt work

[frosty dock]

you got the function params wrong

[mystic river]

oh yeah
self, info queue, card

[gilded blaze]

wrong arguments
game expects loc_vars(self, info_queue, card), not loc_vars(info_queue)

{
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_SEALS["baggutro_blackseal"]
    end
}

[frosty dock]

this was correct earlier, why did you change it.. 🤔

[gilded blaze]

[silent sail]

idk i just assumed it wasnt

[frosty dock]

huh

[gilded blaze]

it wasn't working because of something else, why would you assume it's the arguments

[silent sail]

hhonretly no clue

i cant spell ok then

splended

it works ok thanks guys

[viscid talon]

ok so theres a weird bug

it says this

however in game, it gives the intended amount

[gilded blaze]

did you modify consumable slots via apply

[viscid talon]

yeah

[gilded blaze]

but

[viscid talon]

omg

oke

im ngl i didnt know that was a thing

[mystic river]

i always forget about that column of challenges tbh

[gilded blaze]

this piece of code btw

[silent sail]

whats the prefix for enhancements?

[gilded blaze]

m

[silent sail]

thanking you

[median veldt]

is it possible to forcetrigger a card's enhancement ability?

[gilded blaze]

as long as it handles forcetrigger like how jokers do

[slim ferry]

assuming this is about the spectrallib forcetrigger feature yeah

as long as the enhancement has compat for it

[silent sail]

        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTRES["m_baggutro_ghostcard"]
    end,

how do i chhange this to get it working?

[slim ferry]

you misspelled P_CENTERS

[silent sail]

british english strikes again

[frosty dock]

i love inconsistencies

center / colour

[silent sail]

yep

[topaz berry]

Hey, I am trying to make a joker that can manipulate the base value of chips given from a player card, do you know where I can find there that value is stored in a playing card?

[median veldt]

sorry?

okay actually maybe I should elaborate a bit
i don't really need to forcetrigger them, but i'm making a joker that makes it so held in hand abilities don't need to be in hand to trigger

[true jasper]

Like what hiker does?

[gilded blaze]

Ortalab already does it (Wallet - played cards trigger held-in-hand abilities), you can take a look at its source code

[median veldt]

i do not think that is the same thing at all but i think it might help

[rapid stag]

#1116390750314307698

[median veldt]

i am looking at the source code and i have no idea what is goiung on

[slim ferry]

wallet is quite different from just generally forcetriggering

[topaz berry]

Sort of what hiker does, but not using perma bonuses, I want to be able to edit the direct chip count it gives

[median veldt]

this is not related to what i was doing earlier

calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.before then
            -- undiscard
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function ()
                    for _, _card in ipairs(G.discard.cards) do
                        _card.area:remove_card(_card)
                        _card:add_to_deck()
                        _card.from_discard = true
                        G.hand:emplace(_card)
                    end
                end
            }))
        end
        if context.after then
            -- rediscard everything
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    local old_limit = G.hand.config.highlighted_limit
                    G.hand.config.highlighted_limit= 9999
                    local any_selected = nil
                    for _, _card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                        if _card.from_discard then
                            G.hand:add_to_highlighted(_card, true)
                            any_selected = true
                            play_sound('card1', 1)
                            _card.from_discard = false
                        end
                    end
                    if any_selected then G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted(nil, true) end
                    G.hand.config.highlighted_limit= old_limit
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end

I have ZERO idea why this doesn't work

After you play a hand, draw all cards from your discard pile. Discard them again after scoring.
here's what it's supposed to do

it does draw the cards but then the game just softlocks

yeah it just softlocks here

[slim ferry]

You did not return true in the event

[median veldt]

That'll do it

😭

[median veldt]

Okay, now it works, but it's not drawing all the cards

And also I'm testing it by discarding a bunch of metal cards and they're just. Not doing anything

[daring fern]

Yes, because you're drawing them in an event, so they don't count in scoring.

[median veldt]

like i discarded 5 and it drew three

[median veldt]

oh really

would it work if i removed the event?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[median veldt]

okay, this still doesn't fix the issue with the amount of cards it draws

it's like really weird about it

[buoyant shard]

Can I access the current jokers as a list or an array?

[frosty rampart]

G.jokers.cards is a table of the jokers the player owns

[granite jay]

How do you make it so Legendary jokers can appear in shop normally?

[buoyant shard]

How do I check if there are curently exactly 5 jokers?

[frosty rampart]

given any table that's indexed with numbers (like G.jokers.cards is), #table will be the number of elements in table

[buoyant shard]

My joker is refusing to work. It's supposed to change art and retrigger a joker when there's exactly 5 jokers but it's doing nothing

        if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and not context.other_card == self and #G.jokers.cards == 5 then
            if self.ability.extra.left and context.other_card == G.jokers.cards[1] then
                card.children.center:set_sprite_pos{x = 8, y = 1}
                self.ability.extra.left = false
                return {
                    repetitions = card.ability.extra.retriggers,
                    message = 'Again!',
                    card = card
                }
            elseif context.other_card == G.jokers.cards[5] then
                card.children.center:set_sprite_pos{x = 7, y = 1}
                self.ability.extra.left = true
                return {
                    repetitions = 1,
                    message = 'Again!'
                }
            end
        end
    end```

[frosty rampart]

well self.ability.extra.left doesn't exist, it should be card.ability.extra.left

[buoyant shard]

thanks

[normal crest]

that and and not context.other_card == self is not what you want, it should be and context.other_card ~= card

[buoyant shard]

It's still not working

#G.jokers.cards returns true and not 5 in the console, so how else do I check there's 5 jokers?

[buoyant shard]

ok nevermind

after console testing, it looks like context.retrigger_joker_check isn't returning true for some reason

[median veldt]

it's an optional feature

ok why didnt it embed https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions#optional-features

oh well

[buoyant shard]

How did I scroll past that?

thank you so much!

[median veldt]

mhm!

[median veldt]

bump, if i may

i'll elaborate a bit. here's my whole joker code

the issue is that for some reason it's not undiscarding every card in G.discard
it's leaving some behind

[silk latch]

Why are the values for TCFNA listed as nil?

            j_neonmod_tcfna = {
                name = 'The Campaign for North Africa: The Desert War 1940-43',
                text = {
                    "Gains {X:mult,C:white} ^#2# {} Mult per {C:enhancement}Enhanced{} card in your full deck",
                    "if at least half of the cards in your full deck are {C:enhancement}Enhanced{}",
                    "{C:inactive}(Currently {C:attention}#3#{C:inactive} out of {C:attention}#4# {C:inactive}){}",
                    "{C:inactive}(Currently {X:mult,C:white} ^#1# {} Mult)",
                },
            },

[frosty rampart]

you aren't actually returning anything in your loc_vars function

[median veldt]

What Meta said, but can I jus tsay. This might be a little busted 😭

[silk latch]

It was initially meant to be if they had an edition, enhancement, and seal, but getting that to work would be a nightmare

[median veldt]

Not really

[silk latch]

Yes really when I don't know what the fuck I'm doing

[median veldt]

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

[frosty rampart]

not really when it's documented ^^^

[median veldt]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-if-a-card-has-a-specific-editionenhancementsealsticker

^^ this in particular

[silk latch]

I used that to make what I have now lol

[frosty rampart]

did you see the part where it checks for edition and seal too

[silk latch]

by stitching together shit from cryptid + steel joker

[median veldt]

Nonono look at my link again

VanillaRemade has a wiki

[frosty rampart]

yea the vanillaremade wiki answers a lot of common questions

including "how to check for edition", "how to check for enhancement", and "how to check for seal"

[median veldt]

Also please don't cross reference cryptid for the love of Jimbo

That codebase is a mess

At least not as a beginner

[silk latch]

Mainly just did that to figure out how to refer to the exponential mult lol

[median veldt]

Ah yeah fair

[silk latch]

So then would it be like this?

        for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if SMODS.has_enhancement(playing_card) and SMODS.has_seal and SMODS.has_edition then
                --- words
            end
        end

[silk latch]

updated version

[daring fern]

No, it would be if next(SMODS.get_enhancements(playing_card)) and playing_card:get_seal() and playing_card.edition

[rapid stag]

is G.shop_jokers.cards still populated when context.ending_shop occurs?

[rapid stag]

bump

[sturdy compass]

https://tryitands.ee/

[silk latch]

okay so now what

[sturdy compass]

talisman moment

[frosty rampart]

replace talisman with amulet

[sturdy compass]

use Amulet instead

[silk latch]

(I've been getting this sort of crash when playing a hand)

fuckkkk

fine

[frosty rampart]

there is literally zero reason to use talisman over amulet

[silk latch]

I'm just lazy lol

Well at least this crash is new.

[keen atlas]

thats new

[sturdy compass]

I'm betting it's from old talisman code stuck in a continued run

[keen atlas]

returned repetition is a omeganum somehow

what jokers do you have?

[silk latch]

It actually seems to be from this Joker?

[keen atlas]

wrap it in to_number(...)

also if your mod doesnt depens on talisman add to_number = to_number or function(x) return x end

[silk latch]

where would I put the to_number = to_number or function(x) return x end?

[keen atlas]

at the top of the file

[silk latch]

This is what I have currently, but the description still shows nil for all the values, and it doesn't seem to be triggering properly.

[daring fern]

Move the enhanced_count = enhanced_count + 1 out of the return.

[silk latch]

I did that but it's still not doing anything.

Have yet to update the description

[daring fern]

It should be emult not Emult

[rapid stag]

is is_rarity a function in Card or part of card.config.center?
card:is_rarity(...) / card.config.center:is_rarity(...)

[daring fern]

It's card:is_rarity

[rapid stag]

how can i get rarity starting from card.config.center? i assume it's just ..center.rarity

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sturdy compass]

Set card.cost = number?

[white zinc]

so i found this "mod" on gamebanana that changes the textures for some of the vanilla decks. however, it wasn't really a mod and just included the .png files. what's the easiest way to get these into my game?

[tulip pecan]

Where in the code does the game go through and trigger context.joker_main for each of the jokers? I want to make an effect that adds extra triggers to any joker that meets certain requirements, but this could happen for any joker, so I don't want to take ownership of them all just to edit the code as such, so I figured that either hooking or patching the code that triggers the jokers would let me re-trigger them somehow.

[near coral]

How do you make it to where stickers have a 30% chance of appearing, or is that the default

[daring fern]

No, you would enable the retrigger_joker optional feature and do:

if context.retrigger_joker_check and conditions then
    return {repetitions = 1}
end

[daring fern]

Yes, that's the default.

[near coral]

Oh okay

[tulip pecan]

honestly thank god it always ends up being so easy and i just overcomplicate things a lot

[near coral]

I keep seeing this specific one a lot and I don't know if it was mistakenly made to appear more often or if it's just luck

[wary moth]

What can I hook to that is effectively like a global update loop?

doesn't have to be a hook either necessarily

[tulip pecan]

am I able to get data from the specific joker being checked? something like context.other_card?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[tulip pecan]

oh yeah i should probably read the wiki

[daring fern]

Game:update

[median veldt]

i would like to bump yet again

[daring fern]

Change the top of the for loop to for k, _card in pairs(SMODS.shallow_copy(G.discard.cards)) do

[median veldt]

what does that do?

[daring fern]

It makes it so it iterates over every card instead of every card with an odd index.

[median veldt]

I see

[elder rune]

Is it possible to make a rarity that doesn't create a badge

[median veldt]

I don't believe so

...Why

Ok well technically anything is possible but you'd have to do patches or hooks

[wary moth]

ty so much!

[distant junco]

    key = "cosmic",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Test Deck",
        text = {

        SMODS.upgrade_poker_hands(args)
    end
}```
trying to make a deck and i keep getting a crash. when I comment out the config is doesnt

[daring fern]

It should be vouchers not voucher

[distant junco]

fuck

i thought i put vouchers

thanks

[silk latch]

How would I check for which other Jokers didn't trigger during a given ante?

[gilded blaze]

takes a bit to set up, but it should be like this:

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = {
    post_trigger = true, -- enable post-trigger calculation
}
function SMODS.current_mod:calculate(context)
    if context.post_trigger and context.other_card.ability and context.other_card.ability.set == "Joker" then
        -- add a triggered flag (unique to your mod)
        context.other_card.ability.modprefix_triggered = true
    end
    if context.ante_change and context.ante_end then
        -- remove triggered flags at end of ante
        -- code assumes all jokers are in G.jokers (optimal method to cover all possible joker cards omitted for brevity)
        for _, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            v.ability.modprefix_triggered = nil
        end
    end
end

[silk latch]

Thanks

[grizzled tide]

Which function should I hook to affect all draws? I saw context. drawing_cards but I’m worried that it won’t consider when other jokers modifying

[fading rivet]

what are you trying to do?

[queen crescent]

no way im doing things

[grizzled tide]

I want to force certain cards to be drawn first

[sly heron]

My game crashes at the end of the round when joker suppose to trigger

[slim ferry]

calc_dollar_bonus should return a number, not a table

[fallen timber]

why my locale file doesn't work at all?
localization/en_us.lua:

return {
    descriptions = {
        Tarot = {
            c_liroxfunstuff_neon_weapon_purify = {
                name = "Purify",
                text = {
                    "Next {C:green}5{} scored jokers give {C.mult}+25{} Mult"
                },
            }
        }
    }
}

The key is right (i hope):

    object_type = "Consumable",
    atlas = "neon_weapon_purify",
    key = "neon_weapon_purify",
    set = "weapons",

The set:

SMODS.ConsumableType {
    key = "weapons",
    default = "c_liroxfunstuff_weapon_stick",
    primary_colour = HEX("e62314"),
    secondary_colour = HEX("e62314"),
    collection_rows = { 5, 6 },
    shop_rate = 4
}

[queen crescent]

code

[slim ferry]

Its en-us, not en_us

But also custom consumable descriptions go in their own category, not Tarot

[fallen timber]

oh, hm

[fallen timber]

Uhh like weapons = {}?

[slim ferry]

Yea

[fallen timber]

thanks!

[sly heron]

game is crashing after I want to check run info (i think i could be coused by new poker hand I added)

[frosty dock]

then make them not locals?

[queen crescent]

im taking a table from another mod thats a local

[frosty dock]

then put the code where that local is? gonna need more context if that doesn't help

[queen crescent]

i'm doing polterworx crossmod and i need to add to this table (img taken from jen.lua)

i am also trying to do as little pwx modifications as possible

[frosty rampart]

patch jen.lua

[frosty dock]

I mean it'd be better style to take that from some global table initialized once

like this you'll have to patch where this is

[frosty rampart]

but also get jen to make that not a local lmao

[gilded blaze]

I mean, if he's fine with cross-mod that is

[queen crescent]

jen said that all crossmod has to be done on the end of the one that wants to do it

[gilded blaze]

ah, patching is the only way then

you can do a simple patch to make it a global
then do the modifications on your end

[queen crescent]

Attempt 1

[gilded blaze]

is there a redefining of uno_data?

that's an unnecessarily complicated pattern

you just need to patch the very first line

[queen crescent]

so like this?

[gilded blaze]

yes

target is a bit different tho

[frosty dock]

wouldnt that still override the old table on each call?

[gilded blaze]

it should be '=[SMODS jen "jen.lua"]'

[frosty dock]

uno_data = uno_data or {

[gilded blaze]

huh, is it called repeatedly

[frosty dock]

I don't even know what the function in question is

Just seems like a footgun

[gilded blaze]

I'm assuming it's a local table containing init values for adding several game objects related to suit/rank leveling

[queen crescent]

yes

[queen crescent]

this

[gilded blaze]

therefore it's called once

[frosty dock]

then is it not too late to modify it after the function has been called?

In which case you have to patch your modifications into the function

[queen crescent]

[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
priority = 0


[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = '=[SMODS jen "Jen.lua"]'
pattern = '''
local uno_data = {
'''
position = 'at'
payload = '''
uno_data = {
'''
match_indent = true
``` this is the thing so far

my brain is not braining

[frosty dock]

I don't think making it global helps you

[queen crescent]

what does @gilded blaze have to say tho

[slim ferry]

making it global doesnt help bruh

[frosty dock]

to clarify, the table lives entirely inside the given function and has fulfilled its time by the time the function returns. however it only gets creates once the function is called, so there is no way to make use of it outside of the function

[slim ferry]

its a table that is used ONCE

Yeah

Its used once to loop over to create all the uno cards automatically

[frosty dock]

to make it a useful global, you'd have to define it before the function

[slim ferry]

Instead of manually defining 52 consumables

[gilded blaze]

bruh

[queen crescent]

😭

[gilded blaze]

it's not like I have access to the mod files

[frosty dock]

at which point you could modify it on your end BEFORE the function is called

[gilded blaze]

I have absolutely no idea what's behind uno_data
