neither do I, I was working off your assumption

[queen crescent]

local uno_data = {
    values = {
        '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', 'Jack', 'Queen', 'King', 'Ace'
    },
    colours = {
        Red = 'Hearts',
        Blue = 'Spades',
        Green = 'Clubs',
        Yellow = 'Diamonds'
    }
}

[gilded blaze]

I meant behind

is it a local within a function

smh

[queen crescent]

uh no, its just a local
behind it is a planet card

[frosty dock]

however this also seems bad since it creates more conflicts with other crossmod

[queen crescent]

at the same time this exists
-# also local!!!

[frosty dock]

I think you just patch in your modifications after the table here

[queen crescent]

first time patching so uhhhh

[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
priority = 0


[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = '=[SMODS jen "jen.lua"]'

uno_data = {

match_indent = true
```the patch so far

[frosty rampart]

wait i'm confused
don't patches happen before smods can load any mods

no wait nvm i see the issue with just making it global

[slim ferry]

they do

yea

[frosty rampart]

@queen crescent i think your best bet is to copy the uno card loading code into your own mod and just run it with only the custom uno cards you want to make
and then hook relevant functions and whatever

[sly heron]

.

[frosty dock]

patches happen when the file being patched is loaded

In this case that's jen.lua so patching happens right before pwx is loaded

[queen crescent]

yay!!!

now to return the suit string on the level

[fading rivet]

is there info_queue stuff for blinds?

[grizzled tide]

bump

[sly heron]

bumping

[gilded blaze]

it's loc_txt, not loc_text

[sly heron]

Thx

[gilded blaze]

at which point during the draw?

first hand drawn, and during pack openings that draw cards?

[grizzled tide]

During any draw from the deck

ehh scratch that i found a workaround

[gilded blaze]

I have an example patch here to do exactly tha- I wasted half an hour of my life then

[queen crescent]

most jank crossmod ever made
-# up-to-date image

[grizzled tide]

oh im sorry

[sly heron]

my game carshes for some reason I dont why, Its started carshing when I added a boss blind but I dont really know.

[gilded blaze]

your blind object declaration is wrong

it should be SMODS.Blind{...}, not SMODS.Blind = {...}

the latter overrides SMODS.Blind, causing crash when smods tries to take ownership of The Wheel

[final jewel]

hey so I cant figure out how to add my logo to the title screen

So this code is from maximus but like it doesnt work

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/The-Mod-Object#modmenu_cards---table you dont need to hook, you can use this now

[final jewel]

yeah but its not a card

[slim ferry]

oh wait

logo

nvm

oops

[final jewel]

np

[frosty dock]

you can do other main menu stuff in that function

[final jewel]

Oh I'll look in that

[frosty dock]

-# just run the code in there

[tulip pecan]

Is there any way to display in the joker description how many retriggers it's been given from the joker retriggers option? The way I'm currently handling retriggers is setting a value to a card (in this case card.ability.uma_retriggers) to basically give that card parmanent retriggers. What's the best way to show how many retriggers a card would have?

[slim ferry]

probably do something similar to SMODS.localize_perma_bonuses probably, thats used for playing cards so youll just need to patch in adding the retrigger count somewhere in Card:generate_ui i think?

[true mortar]

Quick question: using the "create_card" function, how do you specifically create self made jokers. i can manage to create base game jokers but somehow i cant find the proper ID for my self made ones

[slim ferry]

j_modprefix_key?

[true mortar]

sorry, but what is the modprefix?

[slim ferry]

the prefix defined in your mod's metadata file

[rapid stag]

when selecting a hand to play, in G.hand.highlighted outside of calculate, how do i see which cards will score

[true mortar]

thank you found it ❤️

[slim ferry]

use G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info, one of the return values is the scoring hand

[daring fern]

select(4, G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.hand.highlighted)), but that doesn't check for things like Splash

[rapid stag]

...what the fuck is this function 😭

excellent

i was thinking of doing next(SMODS.find_card('j_splash')) to cover that, but i'm wondering if there's a util func or smth that will cover anything that changes stuff that changes hands. i'm wondering if i should iterate over the cards to check for things like SMODS.always_scores() and SMODS.never_scores()

that doesn't really cover individual instances of add_to_hand or remove_from_hand passed from context.modify_hand from other jokers though

[daring fern]

You would copy the code from G.FUNCS.evaluate_play that does that.

[tulip pecan]

I can't find a generate_ui function anywhere in the base code or inside SMODS anywhere

[slim ferry]

uhhh

oh wait

generate_card_ui

i think

[tulip pecan]

👍

[true mortar]

how do i update a mod that i have on blalatro mod manager

[slim ferry]

It has an update button for mods that have an available update

Also #⚙・modding-support

[frosty dock]

-# yeah wrong channel, mod devs don't use mod managers

[true mortar]

sorry i made the mod

i was wondering how i push my new changes on the mod manager

[frosty dock]

did you not configure auto update?

[viscid talon]

how do i make a specific boss blind play a specific track. for example, if i have a custom boss blind called b_hatch_evilplant and a music track called music_evilplant.ogg, how would i define that

    key = "evilplant",
    path = "music_evilplant.ogg",
    select_music_track = function()
    end
}

im aware i need to have smth like this ^ but how would i go about it

[true mortar]

i dont know, i created a new release on my repo but there doesnt appear to be an update in the modmanager

[frosty dock]

1. the key needs to contain music
2. return G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key == 'bl_modprefix_key' and 100 or nil where 100 is whatever priority value you want

[viscid talon]

yeah ik its meant to contain music

ok thanks

[frosty dock]

what is your mod

[median veldt]

Is the mod manager even like. Good

[viscid talon]

it has claude code iirc

[true mortar]

Its called Carpet rocketfuel

[median veldt]

Interesting...

I once thought of making a mod manager inside of Balatro, or at least one that checks for updates.

[frosty dock]

oh you released 20 minutes ago..

the version checker doesn't constantly look for updates, give it a few hours and it'll be on there

[frosty rampart]

ingame mod manager is probably of interest to you

[true mortar]

no i uploaded it 2 weeks ago

[median veldt]

Oh, is it already a thing?

I just always forget to update my mods. LOL.

[viscid talon]

[frosty rampart]

the key needs to contain music

specifically at the start iirc

[viscid talon]

o

[frosty dock]

the new version..

[viscid talon]

thats so weird

oke

[frosty rampart]

thunking it

[true mortar]

ill keep checking, thanks for the help

[median veldt]

Interesting. Where does it get its information?

And does it deal with updates?

[frosty rampart]

same mod index that bmm uses

[median veldt]

I see.

I think I may hold off.

[frosty dock]

the last index update happens to be ~40 minutes ago, you did just miss it. it'll be on soon though, dw about it

[viscid talon]

now i get an index null value error

on line 23

this is line 23

return G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key == 'bl_hatch_evilplant' and 100 or nil

[frosty dock]

yeah i omitted some nil checks

[normal crest]

finish the drawing

[frosty dock]

i was too lazy to include them

[frosty dock]

return G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key == 'bl_hatch_evilplant' and 100 or nil this should do

[viscid talon]

thanks

[frosty dock]

just checked and it runs every hour

[glossy plume]

okay so i'm just messing around with modding stuff and i'm trying to make one joker that combines every single joker (or as many as i can get), is there any way to make it so stuff like the mults from jimbo and jolly joker trigger seperately instead of how i currently have it where its just adding everything together?

        if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main then
            
            local result = {mult = 0, chips = 0}

            
            -- Jimbo
            result.mult = result.mult + 4

            -- Jolly
            if next(context.poker_hands["Pair"]) then
                result.mult = result.mult + 8
                result.chips = result.chips + 50
            end
            -- Zany
            if next(context.poker_hands["Three of a Kind"]) then
                result.mult = result.mult + 12
                result.chips = result.chips + 100
            end
            -- Mad
            if next(context.poker_hands["Two Pair"]) then
                result.mult = result.mult + 10
                result.chips = result.chips + 80
            end
            -- Droll
            if next(context.poker_hands["Flush"]) then
                result.mult = result.mult + 10
                result.chips = result.chips + 80
            end
            -- Crazy
            if next(context.poker_hands["Straight"]) then
                result.mult = result.mult + 12

#💻・modding-dev message something like this

that message and the one below should be what you need

[rapid stag]

you can just do SMODS.merge_effects() and just stack up your return table like that

[glossy plume]

omg it works

tysm

[silk latch]

how do I get a # to properly show up in a localization string? (doing \# says it's an invalid escape sequence)

[frosty dock]

you can't get a literal # through the loc parser

you have to pass it as a variable

i.e. #1# and vars[1] = '#'

[silk latch]

thanks

[silk latch]

Holy fuck I finally got the localization to work with the values LET'S FUCKING GO

btw what color do I use for the background of ^Mult?

[frosty rampart]

there's no standard

if you have spectrallib it defines its own gradient, otherwise it's up to you

[true jasper]

Most purple use dark_edition

is you're using spectral lib use emult

[glossy plume]

How would one get this to work with mime retrigger? I have this

        if context.repetition and context.cardarea ~= G.hand and context.end_of_round and (next(context.card_effects[1]) or #context.card_effects > 1)  then
            
             effects[#effects + 1] = {
                    repetitions = 1,
                }
        end```

Based on the logic from joker forge, but it doesn't retrigger the cards

[silk latch]

This is meant to have a 1/4 chance to give $100 when sold during a Boss Blind, but it doesn't work for some reason.

[daring fern]

It should be context.cardarea == G.hand

And remove the context.end_of_round

[frosty rampart]

context.beat_boss is only true for a very short time at the end of the round, during a timing window when you aren't allowed to sell anything

[glossy plume]

With just if its in repititon and the hand thing it still doesn't retrigger

[silk latch]

i love when the smods wiki lies to me

[daring fern]

Replace context.beat_boss with G.GAME.blind.boss

[daring fern]

No, it says that's only for context.end_of_round

[silk latch]

okay cool it works now, thanks

[daring fern]

Code?

[glossy plume]

            
        effects[#effects + 1] = {
             repetitions = 1,
         }
   end



  return SMODS.merge_effects(effects)
 end ```

I also tried it with the context.repitition thing part there and it didnt work either

idk why the formatting just like

died

[silk latch]

Trying to get this to work properly, but the actual scaling is incorrect for some reason

[tulip pecan]

How does generate_card_ui in common_events.lua work with these lines that just seem to run the localize function, but doesn't set any variables to the function output?

[grizzled tide]

how do you get the current boss blind as an object? I want it to modify its chip_text before entering the blind

[daring fern]

You can't, the blind only exists when the blind is selected.

[grizzled tide]

mm is there any way i can grab the text ui for the score required at least then

i just want to modify the text, i can properly set the score with set_blind

[glossy plume]

Is there like documentation anywhere for how all the vanilla jokers are made because i can’t find anything and the code in the jokerforge stuff doesn’t seem to work for anything that isnt like a basic mult or chip hoker

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua

[primal robin]

Wait I cannot use different atlases for center and soul sprite? What a hell

this sucks

[knotty solstice]

try this instead

Idk how to code but I took a quick 5 minutes look into the documentation

If It works I can explain but Idk If It'll work

[rapid stag]

sanity check: SMODS.calculate_effect({ ... }, G.GAME.selected_back)?

[tulip pecan]

How to I access the extra ability section of a joker inside the generate_card_ui function? the table passed through _c is card.config.center, so I can't read card.abililty.extra from there. I need to be able to toggle on a description element for any card if they have a certain extra value set.

[daring fern]

No, it would be G.deck.cards[1] or G.deck instead of G.GAME.selected_back

[rapid stag]

generate_card_ui does have a card argument: generate_card_ui(_c, full_UI_table, specific_vars, card_type, badges, hide_desc, main_start, main_end, card) are you not able to just do card.ability?

[tulip pecan]

no card for me here

[rapid stag]

what version of steamodded are you on

[tulip pecan]

beta 1503a, but the bit i just posted was from base game files

[rapid stag]

try latest release

[tulip pecan]

ill give that a try

[daring fern]

Yes, you should be looking in the lovely dump.

[tulip pecan]

yeah that makes a lot of sense now

i forget that patches change stuff

[primal robin]

if you forced look into generate_card_ui then you're in trouble, good luck

[naive coral]

how do increase the weight of another joker within a joker?

[daring fern]

if context.modify_weights then
    return {key = 'j_modprefix_key', weight = number}
end
```?

[naive coral]

ty

[gilded blaze]

latest smods has a new optional feature object_weights, which allows weight modifications up to single objects

do this first

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = {
    object_weights = true,
}

[grizzled tide]

does anyone know how to get the current list of blinds in pool available for the current ante

[true mortar]

its been seven hours. i think its pretty safe to say i didnt configure th auto update ;-;

how would i do that?

[elder rune]

I figured it out in a weird way, literally just removing it in set_badges (typically badges[2])

[frosty dock]

looks like it's because you set fixed-release-tag-updates but didn't upload an asset like you did last time. you should remove that flag and instead point it to the default source code asset (e.g. https://github.com/carpetrocketfuel/Balatro-1AHITM-Mod/archive/refs/tags/v1.2.zip)

[true mortar]

how do i change the github meta files

[frosty dock]

on the index? make another pull request

[true mortar]

Sorry, i really dont know my way around github. what do i need to do

[wild patrol]

Really wish there was an easier way to edit mods on the mod manager

I get why it is the way it is but it's such a hassle

I'm still trying to figure it out having to manually edit the download link every release

[sly heron]

what create_card do?

[frosty dock]

i can do it for you if you want

[frosty dock]

that shouldn't be necessary, the index has the option of automatic updates

[wild patrol]

It doesn't for me for some reason

I probably have it set-up wrong

But whenever I try to change something the bot gives a merging error

[frosty dock]

I can have a look for you as well, what's your mod?

[wild patrol]

Twitch Integration Mod

[frosty dock]

looks like it works fine

[wild patrol]

I meant when I make a new release

I have to make an edit to the download link

[frosty dock]

then you shouldn't have fixed-release-tag-updates set

[wild patrol]

I tried removing it but the bot wouldn't let me merge

[frosty dock]

looks like you still had fixed-release-tag-updates set though, which doesn't work with the link you provided

[wild patrol]

Ah

I'll take another swing at it later

[naive coral]

is there a way to make my enhancements display on top of the card? i have a symbol on it and want it to be on top

[ancient mango]

how do i make a custom deck?

someone?

[sly heron]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Back this should help

[ancient mango]

help

why did it crash

[normal crest]

in your joker's loc_txt, text should be a table, not a string, so text = { 'I want this to add 30 chips' }

also for the atlas you don't need to include your mod prefix

[silent sail]

how would one go about adding joker display compat?

[fading rivet]

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

}
```?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[mystic river]

easiest way is to use SMODS.create_card, which lets you pass a table of arguments instead of a linear list of mostly nils

but it's just a wrapper for create_card

[frosty dock]

-# it's not just a wrapper, it does add features vanilla create_card doesn't have

[dry raft]

I'm having some real trouble getting my mod icon to load, must the textures be in {Mod root}/assets, or can that folder be called something else? I have dedicated ones to many assets, like /blinds/, /basics/, /cards/ etc., this is in Eris-dev/basics/1x/modicon.png and the 2x counterpart too.

[shell timber]

it must be in assets/1x/...

you can have subfolders in each of those

[dry raft]

ohh okay

[slim ferry]

This erises me

[dry raft]

well the modicon is a compressed version of eris and its moon so...

^

[dry raft]

from this btw (og eris card)

[grizzled tide]

does anyone know how to get the current list of blinds in pool available for the current ante

[dry raft]

My mod now doesn't load, expects a string for a line that literally is just " ], // no conflicts yet"

[final jewel]

How do I give a temporary discard

[frosty rampart]

ease_discard(1) will add 1 discard for the current/upcoming round only

[final jewel]

ok I though it was a G

[frosty rampart]

i mean it probably is, but the ease function handles the animation too

[final jewel]

oh yeah

[frosty dock]

json doesn't have comments

[dry raft]

ohhh

[final jewel]

is there a ease_hand

[slim ferry]

ease_hands_played

[ancient mango]

i wanna make a deck that makes all jokers negative, but i dont now how to do that at all or where to start

[final jewel]

ok

I though that was modifying the number of hand played this round

[slim ferry]

thunk naming conventions

[dreamy lodge]

Is custom Perma bonuses possible? I wanted to give an Xmoney perma bonus but I looked on the smods wiki there isnt an option for that

[frosty dock]

anything is possible. but as of yet there's no API for it (in other words you'd have to patch it in)

[inner terrace]

There's been a couple of people encountering an issue with my mod, where the longest animations (125+ frames) are only appearing as a red/white sprite
I'm still uncertain what's causing it
I can't really reduce the size of the files/animations themselves without removing frames

[frosty dock]

iirc that's a known issue when your atlas is too wide

[inner terrace]

Uh oh
Is there any way to fix it? As far as I know, I can't, like, stitch two animations or columns together for a card based on how SMODS implements it

[dreamy lodge]

hopefully they add an API for it eventually

[frosty dock]

gonna add it to the list of things to do 🫡

[frosty dock]

smods currently doesn't modify animated sprites beyond supporting atlas.fps, but other than that you're right

[primal robin]

poland jonkler

[frosty dock]

welp if i'm gonna touch animated sprites, do we think something like this is worth the hassle?

specifically my comment

This is a good idea, but it's fairly specific to blind chips. A more versatile addition would be a multiplier to the duration of each frame. Let me know if you want to have a go at this, else I could do it too.

[inner terrace]

Oh, interesting!

[versed swan]

Reminds me, I wrote a system for one of my mods that basically streamlines adding custom card bonuses since even tho I only had to account for 6 bonuses (2 scoring params, 3 operators), it resulted in having to potentially deal with 24 keys

[versed swan]

I know there are a few mods that might greatly benefit from this

For those mods it would greatly reduce the complexity of atlases caused by duplicate frames

[inner terrace]

I have very little reference point for how difficult that would be considering I'm still relatively new to lua and balatro modding, but it sounds awesome, if nothing else

[frosty dock]

hmkay i'll do it

i do have to figure out how to make it efficient since we need to check for what frame we're on every update

[gilded blaze]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/1316 I'm actually looking forward to this one more

man, I couldn't imagine the performance if I had still been using my old 14yo Mac

[frosty dock]

probably not terrible if i just preprocess the data correctly

[gilded blaze]

I also refrained from using quantum enhancements (made a new enhancement combining 8 vanilla ones instead) because of performance issues too

[frosty dock]

atp we need a solution for quantum enhancement lag or to scrap them

[versed swan]

Is there anything specific about their implementation that is causing the lag?

[frosty rampart]

ruby's looked into it, a big part is that it calls card:set_ability() a lot but there's still some unexplained lag that was happening even when she disabled all those calls and all the QE contexts

[ancient mango]

bump

[primal robin]

why do we use set_ability for quantum enhancements btw

[frosty rampart]

scoring purposes i think? idk ruby knows more

[gilded blaze]

that's the part I'm concerned about
it gets called way too often

[primal robin]

I more care about "why", not "how often'

[gilded blaze]

reminds me of Chiseled cards in Ortalab jumping around when dragged

[primal robin]

This is SMODS bug

Also quantum enhancements

[frosty dock]

I haven't looked at ts in a WHILE but have we looked at fake changing the ability table

[frosty rampart]

again, please talk to ruby if y'all are planning on doing stuff with QE, she has a WIP rework of it already underway iirc

[primal robin]

why not just implement Card:quantum_set_ability idk

[frosty dock]

I'm planning on nothing tbh

I'd probably rather review quantum ranks than rework quantum enhancements

[versed swan]

I'm assuming there's already a pr draft for this?

[gilded blaze]

it's kind of a mess anyway, I'm not even confident enough to make any says here

[primal robin]

I want to look into ruby's approach

[frosty dock]

no

I should also have a look at it tho

[primal robin]

I think we can start working from scratch

[frosty dock]

also have we ever established what an actually good api for quantum anything should look like

[primal robin]

Is there a possibility that we can afford breaking changes at some point?

[frosty dock]

if we can burn anything to the ground and start from scratch, it's quantum enhancements

if you're using it despite the lag, you're a maniac and deserve your mod breaking

[frosty rampart]

imo i think scrapping the contexts entirely might be a good idea
"quantum suits" are handled just by hooking Card:is_suit, i see no issue with hooking SMODS.get_enhancements or a similar function moved to exist in Card

[primal robin]

Highly depends on for what quantum enhancements are used for

if it's only check is enhancement present then yes this works

If it checks ability then it's more complicated

[frosty dock]

"quantum suits" don't exist in my books and they may get a more sophisticated API after quantum ranks

I don't think the context is currently the culprit though

[primal robin]

smeared jonkler is basically quantum suits jonkler

[frosty rampart]

yea my "scrap the contexts" opinion is unrelated to the lag tbh

[frosty dock]

the contexts provide more utility than what's gained from scrapping them imo

Also up for discussion is how the context should even function

[frosty rampart]

fair

[frosty dock]

I definitely think we're looking for modifying a map throughout the context calc. doing it directly on the table is fine, but we can look at making proper return keys for it that are more useful

[primal robin]

Question. Does current quantum enhancements support functionality of { m_steel = false }?

So if steel, discard it

Another question: does it supports effects available only during some contexts like All Steel cards at end of round count as Gold?

[versed swan]

I wonder if it would be beneficial/feasible to just develop a baseline "quantum mechanics", something that can be built from, given there are three distinct attributes that are being considered for quantumization

[frosty rampart]

this is a yes, because it's just a context like any other context and it's called many many times, including whenever a card is about to be scored (e.g. end of round held in hand)
so yea that's a point in favor of contexts that i hadn't considered

[frosty dock]

looks like no

[primal robin]

question is can I apply qwuantum effect ONLY at end of round?

[versed swan]

considering common interactions being

• attribute is considered something
• calculating each considered somethings of an attribute
• attributes require quick reference with minimal unnecessary checks

i dont know how to like parse these thoughts into words but

[frosty dock]

yes because a context stack exists

[primal robin]

Okay, good

[frosty dock]

I see what you mean but we should have something that works properly before we abstract it

[primal robin]

I think that all we need to do is just create Card:quantum_set_ability

Because Card:set_ability doing a lot of unnecessary work, which includes: sizing, sprites changing, debuffing...

I supposed to do my job and not balala 😭

[frosty dock]

lmao

[primal robin]

Do you have any tests for quantum enhancements shit? I'll try to do quick attempt for optimizing them

[frosty dock]

that looks like a thunkism, did we not patch that out?

[primal robin]

no, copied directly from dump

[frosty dock]

shucks, should probably do that

[frosty dock]

I don't

[sly heron]

So I have this code here G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function () local card = create_card("Joker",G.jokers,true,4,nil,nil,nil,"") card:set_edition({ negative = true }) card:add_to_deck() card:start_materialize() G.jokers:emplace(card) return true end }))
and I want make that insted spawning a legendary joker it spawns joker from a pool how could I make that?

[primal robin]

should this be called on quantum enhancements?

[primal robin]

@gilded blaze test this https://github.com/SleepyG11/smods/tree/quantum_set_ability

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({set = 'poolkey', edition = 'e_negative'})

[median veldt]

whats the cardarea and/or card set for the cards in the Editions section of the collection

[slim ferry]

the card set is just Edition as far as i know

the cardarea idk but i assume its the same as other collection menus?

[median veldt]

i'd assume so too but i still dont know what that area is tbf

[rough furnace]

Why do you need it?

[primal robin]

We tested it, it takes 3.5 seconds to calculate 100 quantumed steel cards in hand instead of 5.5

[daring fern]

It's an area in G.your_collection

[primal robin]

Also game lags much less while selecting a hand just hovering a cards

[median veldt]

There's this card that clones cards of a certain edition, and it's freaking out when you open the collection lol

[rough furnace]

You can check if a card is in the collection by checking card.area.config.collection

Although I wonder how your checking when to clone that it causes issues with the collection

[dry raft]

Jimbo has 2 hearts confirmed.

[median veldt]

I actually have no idea, it's not my mod

I just added a check for if the set is Edition

[dry raft]

also the bottom heart lines up perfectly with the rest of him

my vscode keeps lagging, I have my whole mod folder open and it's 100+ folders, how do i make vscode stop scanning the folders for coding errors?

[slim ferry]

dont open your whole mod folder

and just add mods you need for library purposes as a library in vscode workspace settings

[near coral]

Currently I have a sticker that's supposed to have all jokers with it be sold or destroyed at once, meaning if one is sold all are sold and the same thing with being destroyed

However my coder made it to where when one is sold the rest are destroyed and you're simply given the sell value, how can it be changed to have them actually be sold as to not trigger destruction effects when sold

[near coral]

My coder keeps misunderstanding what my teal seal supposed to do so I'm asking for help here as I feel it's just simpler to do than try to explain it over multiple testing logs

When played it doesn't score and it never directly triggers jokers, when held in hand it does -10% score requirement

They kept misunderstanding it as it still doing the -10% score requirement when it scores, when in reality it's never supposed to score

Am I able to get at least a skeleton of that to present to them

[dry raft]

it works now, dumb me forgot I had commented out the assert in my main file for planets ://

[frosty rampart]

and what's keeping you from saying "only give the -10% if it's held in hand"?

[near coral]

The misunderstanding lies in the 'does not score and does not trigger jokers' part

[frosty rampart]

is there like a language barrier or something?
also why is your coder still not in this server

no, you would use context.modify_scoring_hand

[frosty dock]

context.modify_scoring_hand works for unscoring the card

[near coral]

They are, I'm just more social

[frosty dock]

if you want to be explicit about it not triggering any jokers, even if they target unscored cards, you'd have to do that

but i doubt that's actually what you mean

[near coral]

Also yes there is a language barrier, albeit slight but it's enough to have misunderstandings such as this

[frosty rampart]

yea i gathered the effect was just supposed to be "the card doesn't count as part of the scored hand"

[frosty rampart]

please inform them that it's quite frankly infuriating to have to use you as a proxy, and we'd much rather talk to the coder directly if they need help with anything in the future

(just in general it's frustrating to have to go through a third party)

[near coral]

I'm doing this to be nice and help them, I frankly believe they value their free time which is why they don't bother outside of sending me the builds

[primal robin]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/1322

2 optimization prs by me in 2 days

[frosty rampart]

if they want the help then they should ask for help, i don't see any reason why that would cut into their free time

[near coral]

The only message they ever sent here was the one offering to code for me, I don't think they're a talker

If it's frustrating to you that I'm the one looking for help just don't help me

[frosty rampart]

my point is just I think it's their loss if they're not willing to use the resources provided to them, including the community

[frosty rampart]

but yea that's fine

[near coral]

Yes it is their loss, but it is also my loss if several builds in the same problems persist and they don't seem the social type so I bring it upon myself

[near coral]

So using this it can be set to always be unscored?

[frosty dock]

yes but i forgot you can just set never_scores = true on the seal

[near coral]

Oh

What about the part where it doesn't trigger jokers, is that currently possible

Like if it's a 2 rank it won't trigger even steven

[idle plaza]

Pretty sure a card not being scored already covers that

[near coral]

If it's a 9 rank but still scales cloud 9 that's plausible for me

[near coral]

Played, held in hand, discarded, etc.

Being unscoring just doesn't trigger jokers that require it to score

[daring fern]

Hook eval_card and return {}, {} if card.ability.set == 'Joker' and context.other_card and context.other_card:get_seal() == 'modprefix_sealkey'

[near coral]

Seeing as you seem unsure maybe it'd be good to run a rudimentary test on that before I relay it

[frosty rampart]

that will not stop it from triggering cloud 9

[near coral]

If it still scales stuff that's fine, it just can't cause the trigger

[fading rivet]

how can I tell if a card is generated in the shop in its set_ability function?

[vital wren]

how can i use # in a localized string without it trying to become a variable? i tried escaping it with \ and it didn't like that

[normal crest]

pass it as a variable, so #1# and then in loc_vars return { vars = { '#' } }

[daring fern]

You would return '#' as a variable in loc_vars

[vital wren]

lol, okay

[near coral]

I realized I forgot to ask, do you have to list every joker individually or is 'joker' the entity type

Also why the hell does it take up the whole line when I do a code box

[daring fern]

'Joker' is the set, also it's because you would only use one backtick instead of three.

[near coral]

o

[silent sail]

how would one make an enhhancement that either has the card not count towards played handd size or not count towards hand size

[frosty rampart]

for hand size, you can either make it increase card.ability.card_limit by 1 (like how negative works, increasing hand size to 9 while it's present), or decrease card.ability.extra_slots_used by 1 (leaving hand size at 8)

[dry raft]

try looking at All In Jest's implementation of Ice Cards

[frosty rampart]

yea all in jest ice cards can bypass the played card limit

[dry raft]

when I have struggled I have turned to other mods to see how they did it lul

[silent sail]

how do i somehow always accidentally have hte same ideas as things

[frosty rampart]

no such thing as an original idea, just roll with it

[dry raft]

surely that's a small change

play limit -> overall limit

[frosty rampart]

no yea i meant that as in "it does what your first request does"

as opposed to held card limit

[frosty rampart]

anyway aij ice cards also can't contribute to poker hands at all, so if your idea does allow them to make poker hands then that's something unique you've got going

[silent sail]

ah cool atleast i got that goig for me

[dry raft]

yeah so if they temp change play limit it could just be changed to temp change card limit

like how I can change Jimbo from being useless +4 mult to be an even more useless +4 chips with a small change

[silent sail]

went and looked at the ice cards and i think the code is spread elsewhhehre nbecause nothing happens when i use wahhts in the lua

[frosty rampart]

yea it's all in patches

ctrl-f for "m_aij_ice" in lovely/lovely.toml

[silent sail]

ah

[wanton jolt]

whats the least buggy way to change the y pos of a card and soul sprite in the case of an animated sprite

[silent sail]

ok i managed to get it to take up no handspace

couldnt figure out the selection size stuff

how close is thihs code to being right?

idk why it says 3 i set it to 1 but yeah

[sturdy compass]

Not very

[fading rivet]

bump

[rapid stag]

what is you're trying to do

[fading rivet]

set a specific ability of a card if its created in shop, instead of riff-raff or judgement
can't say much its for jame

[rapid stag]

i see. does it have to be via a set_ability hook, or are you able to start from context.create_shop_card instead? that would be easier if you could

even if this isn't a specific joker or deck effect, you could still accomplish that via SMODS.current_mod.calculate

although you could alternatively do this in a create_card hook

[fading rivet]

oh that should work

forgot that context existed

[rapid stag]

i have a deck that guarantees the apperance of a pareidolia in a future shop if you have midas mask and vampire and i do that via a create_card hook

i implemented a somewhat more generic system to do so, so that i could make potential use of it with other effects and such

honestly, i might actually PR it

...oh, shop_create_flags exists

[daring fern]

local oldhighlight = Card.highlight

[idle plaza]

Right, but do you have a specific question, or do you just need general info? If so, you can find the API for it at https://github.com/larswijn/CardSleeves/wiki/API-Documentation

[fringe oxide]

general info, ive never made a deck sleeve before

[lyric wadi]

i hate the colours field

what the hell am i doing wrong i followed the example why is it always index into nil

[idle plaza]

What's the exact error you're getting, and what's your code?

[lyric wadi]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local aoran = 'a'
        local rank = 3
        local suit = 'Clubs'
        if card.ability and #card.ability.extra.full_stack > 1 then 
            rank = localize(card.ability.extra.full_stack[card.ability.extra.index][1], 'ranks') or 3
            suit = card.ability.extra.full_stack[card.ability.extra.index][2] or 'Clubs'
        end
        if card.ability and card.ability.extra.full_stack[card.ability.extra.index][1] == 8 or card.ability.extra.full_stack[card.ability.extra.index][1] == 14 then aoran = 'an' end

                colours = { G.C.SUITS[suit] }
            }
    end,

The colours table needs to go inside the vars table that you return in your loc_vars

why tf are you there

The hate is justified, it's a very strange format

[wary moth]

Sooo, I been wanting to do a certain UI effect for my mod that I just have no idea how to start doing, was curious if anyone could point me in the right direction

So.. my mod is making a remixed version of each joker, but currently it does this just by adding 150 jokers and disabling the vanilla ones.
Theres still a chance the vanilla jokers are relevant (like, if I have an effect that turns a joker into its vanilla card), so I thought it'd be cool if instead of having 10 more pages of jokers to sift through, that it shows my remixed versions first, and that there would be a button I could press on the collection page that would switch between that and the non-remixed cards.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction on how to do something like that?

I think all I need to know how to do is:

• override what shows up on the collection screen
• add a button to the collection screen
• (optional) be able to get/set what page of the collection screen I am on

[frosty dock]

you can change the sprite's animation.y and it should use that from the next frame change

animated sprites are a bit weird

[shell timber]

potential idea, you can toggle the center's no_collection flag

and then find out what pressing the < > buttons does and call that function

[gilded blaze]

---@field no_collection?: boolean|fun(): boolean

[wary moth]

Ohhh okay interesting, not a bad idea! I could try that out

[wary moth]

what magic is this?

[frosty dock]

this is part of a lua Language Server Protocol definition, which translates to: the field no_collection can either be a boolean or a function that returns a boolean

the function part is useful to you because you can use a toggle's state

[faint yacht]

no_collection can be dynamically changed in-game, too.

[wary moth]

Oh thats beautiful! I been learning more lua tricks I can use, havent heard of this before. Gonna have to look more into how that works
I really liked Attributes in C#, and if this is a way I can do something like that, I'll be so happy

So, I suppose, all I need to know then is how to add a button onto the collections page? Is there an easy way of doing that?

I suppose alternatively I could also add a hotkey that just switches between the two views

[gilded blaze]

Sagatro has a hook to it, you can take a look

[wary moth]

thank you so much, thats very helpful

[sly heron]

I was trying to make a joker that if some joker was in the pool it would destory it and gain xmult but it crashes can someone help me with that?
Heres code:

        if context.setting_blind and not context.retrigger_joker then
            local destroyed
            for _, joker in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                if joker.config.center.pools.food then
                    joker.getting_sliced = true
                    destroyed = joker
                    break
                end
            end
            if destroyed then
                SMODS.scale_card(card, {
                    ref_table = card.ability.extra,
                    ref_value = "basexmult",
                    scalar_value = "gainxmult"
                })
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.basexmult}
        end
    end```

[wary moth]

I might be wrong, but it looks like joker.config.center.pools is not defined (nil),
so you probably have to change
if joker.config.center.pools.food then
to
if joker.config.center.pools and joker.config.center.pools.food then

basically, turning the "if" statement to also check if pools exists at all before it checks if pools.food exists

[sly heron]

now Its not carshing but dosent work im gonna try do something with it

[fading rivet]

try Food instead, thats what most mods use

also with the current smods the attribute system exists

[daring fern]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.setting_blind then
        local destroyed_cards = {}
        for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            if v:has_attribute('food') then
                table.insert(destroyed_cards, v)
            end
        end
        if next(destroyed_cards) then
            SMODS.destroy_cards(destroyed_cards)
            SMODS.scale_card(card, {
                ref_table = card.ability.extra,
                ref_value = 'basexmult',
                scalar_value = 'gainxmult',
                no_message = true
            })
            return {message = localize({type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = {card.ability.extra.basexmult}}), colour = G.C.MULT}
        end
    end
    if context.joker_main then
        return {xmult = card.ability.extra.basexmult}
    end
end

it's tag_skip

[drifting garden]

I figured out my previous questions, but now I have another. How can I fix align_cards() to act as though there are less jokers than there actually are in the card area based on a specific count. Say I do a for loop over the jokers checking for a specific attribute, how can I then make align_cards() treat the rest of the jokers as if those counted jokers do not exist. They will be invisible so their position and alignment is irrelevant.

[gilded blaze]

why make the jokers invisible instead of making a new off-screen card area and store those jokers there

[drifting garden]

i want them to trigger normally

i couldn't figure out how to make that work without leaving them in the joker area

[whole lava]

how can i fix the ante?

[gilded blaze]

why trigger normally when invisible

[drifting garden]

because thats what i am trying to do

[gilded blaze]

huh

the effect is to still allow invisible jokers to work while not allowing the player to align them?

[drifting garden]

i just want the joker card area to skip over the invisible cards when doing alignment

they will always have a specific attribute with this, so its easy to distinguish them

im just not sure how to correctly update align_cards() to get it to completely ignore them for everything

[gilded blaze]

patch this line

[wintry solar]

What do the invisible jokers do?

[gilded blaze]

wait nvm

[drifting garden]

they do what they do...

[gilded blaze]

there are more intrusive patches you need to make it work

😭

[drifting garden]

you just can't see or interact with them

[gilded blaze]

yea, that's not great in terms of joker order from left to right
how do they realign when invisible and you're aligning visible ones then

[drifting garden]

its basically a workaround for fusing any 2 jokers together without trying to patch every possible trigger condition from one joker into another

[drifting garden]

thats my whole problem

hence why im trying to get align_cards() to ignore them

[gilded blaze]

what I meant is that

e.g. you have an invisible joker this way, and suppose it's at slot 3 (4 other jokers are visible)
what you're able to see are the 4 visible jokers

[wintry solar]

That sounds like an awful workaround

[gilded blaze]

when you realign visible ones, how would the invisible one react

[drifting garden]

the invisible one is permanently locked to the position of another joker

[gilded blaze]

that's awful to implement

[drifting garden]

okay

ill work it out

[gilded blaze]

takes immense effort for a wacky effect that doesn't make sense to a lot of people

[wintry solar]

You’d be better off dynamically creating invisible card areas and calling to calculate that area within the calc function, similarly to how blueprint works

[drifting garden]

like i said before, i don't know how to do that

[drifting garden]

Also how would that actually work, because blueprint is a joker in your joker card area that has its calculate function called by the game. This requires any joker regardless of trigger condition or blueprint compatibility to trigger its effect whenever it should normally. The first thing I did was remove it from the card area, but I immediately ran into the issue of not having a way to trigger any joker regardless of its condition when it is not in the main joker area.

[wintry solar]

Well you should have some sort of base card that represents the fusion, no?

[drifting garden]

i do

i got it to work anyway

[primal robin]

@gilded blaze can you test quantum enhancements in some extreme cases with this pr?
just to make sure they're not broken https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/1322

I seen you mentioned that you was implementing a thing like "card count as all enhancements" or smth

[frosty dock]

i just checked and nothing in sprites persists in loads

[silent sail]

where would i put this?

[gilded blaze]

it ended up as a separate enhancement and I didn't plan on moving it to quantum 😭

since the effect is slightly different from combining 8 vanilla enhancements

premium enhancement it is:
8 vanilla enhancement in 1, with a few differences:

• lucky aspect is guaranteed
• 1 in 15 chance to destroy card, rather than 1 in 4

[daring fern]

In your main file but outside of everything.

[silent sail]

ah hok

thanks

ok so it works but theres a biig issue of if you try clicking on one when your hand is full it permanantly removes play size

any idea on how id fix that?

ok so actually its worse selecting multiple cards will decrease the selection limit

[daring fern]

Remove the calculate function.

[silent sail]

alrighty

[daring fern]

You should instead put extra_slots_used = -1 in config

[silent sail]

it still decreases my play size when selecting them on a full hand

[hushed stump]

Hi people
I'm trying to develop a mod, in this case I'm first trying to add a joker which adds chips if a full house is played
However, it always adds chips no matter which hand I play, which I find weird cause I'm specifying the poker hand context to only be Full House
https://github.com/Renzo-MGRR/Planetarian/blob/main/src/jokers/BaseJoker.lua
Any ideas how can I fix that?

[slim ferry]

the hand tables in context.poker_hands are always at least an empty table, you should check next(context.poker_hands["Full House"]) instead

[hushed stump]

Oh, alright

Thank you!

[bold eagle]

how would I make a joker with exponential mult

[frosty dock]

the easiest way is to depend on amulet, which provides such scoring keys

[idle plaza]

As long as you depend on Amulet, you can return e_mult the same way you'd return x_mult in calculate functions. For coloring the ^mult text, you'd use {X:dark_edition,C:white}

[frosty dock]

bleh you beat me to that, i'll just scrap what i was writing

[bold eagle]

so I've just gotta install amulet and make my mod dependent onn it and it'll just work?

[idle plaza]

Yeah

[bold eagle]

sweet

thank you

do I need to list a version for it in dependencies?

[idle plaza]

I don't know whether or not you need to list a version, but I think it's for the best since you wouldn't want, for example, players seeing issues that can only be caused because they happen to have some outdated version of Amulet compared to what you're running.

[bold eagle]

ok

[bold eagle]

when I try to put the version in with amulet in my dependencies my mod no longer shows up in the mod menu

[royal carbon]

My probability joker is crashing to desktop when I hover over it with Oops, what am I doing wrong? I can hover over it in the collection just fine (without Oops anyway) and get no nils. (I think) Relevant code is:

loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        local multnum, multdenom = SMODS.get_probability_vars(self, 1, center.ability.extra.multodds, "goldenmult")
        local moneynum, moneydenom = SMODS.get_probability_vars(self, 1, center.ability.extra.moneyodds, "goldenmoney")
        return {vars = {multnum, multdenom, moneynum, moneydenom, center.ability.extra.multgive, center.ability.extra.moneygive}}
    end,```

[normal crest]

Replace self with center in the get_probability_vars calls

[royal carbon]

Still happens

[silent sail]

local oldhighlight = Card.highlight
function Card:highlight(is_higlighted)
    local g = oldhighlight(self, is_higlighted)
    if SMODS.has_enhancement(self, 'm_baggutro_ghostcard') and not is_higlighted and self.area == G.hand and self.config.baggutro_ghostcard_enabled then
        self.config.m_baggutro_ghostcard_enabled = false
        SMODS.change_play_limit(-1)
    end
    return g
end

local oldaddhighlighted = CardArea.add_to_highlighted
function CardArea:add_to_highlighted(card, silent)
    if SMODS.has_enhancement(card, 'm_baggutro_ghostcard') and self == G.hand and not card.config.baggutro_ghostcard_enabled then
        card.config.baggutro_ghostcard_enabled = true
        SMODS.change_play_limit(1)
    end
    return oldaddhighlighted(self, card, silent)
end

local oldcardarearemovecard = CardArea.remove_card
function CardArea:remove_card(card, discarded_only)
    if Card.is(card, Card) and card.config.baggutro_ghostcard_enabled then
        card.config.baggutro_ghostcard_enabled = false
        SMODS.change_play_limit(-1)
    end
    return oldcardarearemovecard(self, card, discarded_only)
end

how would i fix this to prevent my hand size being made smaller when trying ot select with a full hand

[idle plaza]

If you start the code block with ```lua you'll get text coloring

[silent sail]

woah

thats cool

[idle plaza]

Anyways, what exactly is your enhancement trying to do? If you just want the card with it to not count against the hand size, putting extra_slots_used = -1 in the enhancement's config will cover that, no hooks needed at all.

[silent sail]

nono its meant to be able to be selected beyond your play size

it works but its very buggy atm

like if i select all normal cards and try select one it will decrease my play size instead

[rapid stag]

how do i check if a card is flipped?

[silk latch]

How does the key part of prefix_config work when creating a Consumable type?
I know that

    prefix_config{
        key = {mod = false}},

is a thing, but how do I actually define the prefix for the item type itself?

[frosty rampart]

if card.facing == "back" then

[frosty rampart]

it just means that consumabletypes don't automatically get the mod's prefix attached to the start of the key. if you create a new consumabletype with key "Something", it'll just be "Something" in-game, not "modprefix_Something"
this is mostly relevant for e.g. localization or creating the card of that consumable type, where you'd normally add that mod prefix

[silk latch]

wait so then where do I actually put this

[frosty rampart]

you don't need to have a prefix_config in your specific definition

[bold eagle]

is this channel only really used for technical questions or can balance ones be asked here

[frosty rampart]

yea this is for technical stuff, balance questions usually go in #⚙・modding-general

[bold eagle]

ok

thanks

[rapid stag]

this isn't returning true when i put seals or editions on anything

[primal robin]

that's not how it works

[frosty rampart]

you need to do a second loop, right now you're just checking if G.jokers.cards.seal etc

[primal robin]

ipairs cannot have multiple tables as input

[frosty rampart]

ipairs is taking a table, that part's fine

[rapid stag]

it's a table call

i've done it on another implementation and that worked fine

[frosty rampart]

but yea your existing loop should have cards instead of card_obj, and then inside it you should do for _, card_obj in ipairs(cards) do

[rapid stag]

ohhh

[bold eagle]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_zwp_whimsical
        local whimsy_tally = 0
        if G.playing_cards then
            for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
                if SMODS.has_enhancement(playing_card, 'm_zwp_whimsical') then whimsy = whimsy_tally + 1 end
            end
        end
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.emult, 1 + card.ability.extra.emult * whimsy_tally } }
    end,

for some reason the total emult isnt displaying correctly in game

j_zwp_exwhimsy ={
            name = "Compounding Whimsy",
            text = {
                "Gives {X:dark_edition,C:white}^#1#{} for",
                "each {C:attention}Whimsical Card{}",
                "in your deck",
                "{C:inactive}(Currently {X:dark_edition,C:white} ^#2# {C:inactive} Mult)"
            }
           }

Hello Zarcheus.

That is an interesting problem you have there Zarcheus.

Too bad no one will help you.

[bold eagle]

nevermind I got it working

wrong variable name

[primal robin]

How can I make effect "<vanilla poker hand> counts as <another vanilla poker hand>"?

[fringe oxide]

whats wrong with my sleeves

[rapid stag]

ok so i'm working on a spectral card that should shuffle seals and editions accross cards and jokers, but for some reaosn, some are getting removed outright instead of being moved somewhere else

here's the entire use function, what am i doing wrong

[primal robin]

You need:

• collect all seals and editions you can transfer and store them in a list
• cleanup all editions/seals on all cards
• for each filtered seal
  • collect all cards available to target
  • roll a card to apply
  • apply upgrade
  • exclude this card from available cards
  • if all cards was used, discard leftover seals
  • repeat until all seals distributed
• repeat for editions

[rapid stag]

that's pretty much what i wrote. it goes through everything, grabs all the seals and editions, cleans them up, goes through each grabbed seal, picks a random applicable card from the pool, applies, removes that card from the pool, repeats until all seals are assigned, then repeats for editions

but as i show, it's deleting some seals and editions for whatever reason

[primal robin]

erm this doesnt work yk

[rapid stag]

for removing them from the pool?

[primal robin]

this things do nothing essentially

[rapid stag]

hhhhhhhh

[silk latch]

ah, of course I totally understand

(It's the ConsumableType file)

[rapid stag]

so how do i properly remove the items from the pool

[primal robin]

First, you need to make sure that pool is separate object and not belongs to smth like cardarea

fullObjPool is fine because it's result of merging multiple arrays which returns new array

but onlyJokerPool is reference to G.joker.cards which is live object belongs to cardarea

[frosty rampart]

you don't need to have a prefix_config in your specific definition
you don't need prefix_config anywhere, i promise. defining a new consumabletype handles it automatically

[primal robin]

So first step will be local onlyJokerPool = SMODS.shallow_copy(G.joker.cards or {})

[rapid stag]

won't it not take if i do shallow copy?

[silk latch]

Yeah that's what mannpower.lua's there for, it's the file with the ConsumableType

[frosty rampart]

again, you don't need to have it anywhere at all. delete line 5 entirely

[rapid stag]

i was gonna say if i do copy_table, it'll crash because recursive. but shallow_copy i thought would make it no longer reference the original items, which i need to be able to actually assign the seals/editions

[primal robin]

no, copy_table will cause stack overflow

SMODS.shallow_copy takes array of items and make it's copy, that's it

items stay the same, but array containing them is new

[rapid stag]

so :set_seal on a objects in a shallow copy will still apply a seal to the original object?

[primal robin]

you're not copying cards, only array containing cards

[silk latch]

Okay at least there's something now

[rapid stag]

ahhh

[primal robin]

it's 1-layer copy, not deep

[rapid stag]

ok so how do i properly remove the items from my pools once i've assigned a seal or edition to them

[primal robin]

pseudorandom_element returns 2 things: rolled item, and key rolled

[rapid stag]

table[key] = nil?

[silk latch]

now where do I put the actual thing name in the localization

[primal robin]

So, ```lua
local onlyJokerPool = SMODS.shallow_copy(G.joker.cards or {})

for _, seal in ipairs(seals) do
local target_card, target_key = pseudorandom_element(onlyJokerPool, "cirno_rng_key")
if target_card then
onlyJokerPool[target_key] = nil
-- apply seal
end
end

[silk latch]

not the consumable, the category

[rapid stag]

got it

wait no, that's not gonna work

i need to remove from both pools

[primal robin]

then you need find index of target card by looping and remove it aswel

kinda sucks but you have no choice

I feel like you're not quire understand what is "reference" in programming yet

[primal robin]

bump

[fringe oxide]

bump x2

[normal crest]

most checks for hands do next(context.poker_hands[hand]) so maybe try setting a metatable to context.poker_hands when it's created so that when indexing hand you return smt different

[rapid stag]

i'm assuming local declarations only last for the remainder of the condition

[primal robin]

Always was

local t_obj, t_key
if red_seal then
  t_obj, t_key = pseudorandom_element()
else
  t_obj, t_key = pseudorandom_element()
end

and, you're looping a bit wrong

for k, v, in pairs(pool) do
  if v == t_obj then
    pool[k] = nil
    break
  end
end

pairs and ipairs difference is inportant

you want pairs, not ipairs

[rapid stag]

it's a keyed table?

[primal robin]

number is also a key

[rapid stag]

what's your atlas definition? either there's something wrong with your asset or your atlas definition

[fringe oxide]

heres the one for the sleeve and the one in main.lua

[fading rivet]

sleeves are not 365 by 190 😭

[fringe oxide]

oh, i copied the x1 from cardsleeves lol

do they all need to be individual sleeve pngs then

[normal crest]

change px to 73 and py to 95

in the atlas

[fringe oxide]

ok

[fading rivet]

the px and py tell the game how many pixels go in each sprite

it already knows how big the image is

[silk latch]

Ah, of course.

[fading rivet]

suit should be the suit key

not the suit object

[silk latch]

I want to leave the suit intact

[fringe oxide]

hooray

thx

[fading rivet]

what does this even mean?

[frosty rampart]

then just make the suit nil

[fading rivet]

oh

i might be stupid

[frosty rampart]

yea they only want to change the rank of the card

[fading rivet]

how do I have no emojis of this from actually good artists 😭

[frosty rampart]

anyway the rank also has to be the key of the rank, not the id
so it should be "King", not "13"

[fading rivet]

i'm in like 8 teto servers

[silk latch]

It at least doesn't crash now.
(It letting me select up to 2 cards is just from me copying most of Strength's code as a base and adding/changing shit from there, in the future it will only select 1)

but uh

yeahhh

okay I think that should be it fixed

it's cus you're fully overriding the apply function, at the start of it add CardSleeves.Sleeve.apply(self, back)

before apply = function(self, back)?

[normal crest]

after that line

[fringe oxide]

apply = function(self, back) CardSleeves.Sleeve.apply(self, back)

i was doing some rigorous testing, and it seems that sometimes pseudorandom_element will return two nil results.

[daring fern]

It should be C: not C.

[fallen timber]

so its c: for consumables or loacales?

like, because its a consumable or because its in locale file

[gilded blaze]

in en-us.lua, c: is the correct colour format, not C.

[fallen timber]

so for locales its c: instead, noted

now next question: how to make some cards have different type names? for example there are planets and dwarf planets in the same category

[daring fern]

Use the set_card_type_badge function.

[fallen timber]

uhh example?
like, set_card_type_badge("c_liroxfunstuff_weapon_sword", "some_translation_key")?

[daring fern]

set_card_type_badge = function(self, card, badges)
    table.insert(badges, create_badge(text, card_type_colour, card_type_text_colour, 1.2))
end

[fallen timber]

ohh that

[fallen timber]

is text here a translation key?

[daring fern]

No, text is the text as a string.

[fallen timber]

its not working for me apparently? is usage of HEX("colors") here ok or i need to use smth else?

[fallen timber]

I tried everything but it just wont work

[daring fern]

Code?

[fallen timber]

function newWeapon(key, badge, cost, config, loc_vars, update_values, use, pos, can_use, replicatable, has_soul)

[daring fern]

Your inputting badge as "test" instead of a function.

[fallen timber]

isnt it redefined? badge = badge or function() {} end?

[floral spindle]

how do I check each card in context.full_hand to see if one has an enhancement

[idle plaza]

It's only redefined if it doesn't exist.

x = x or y means "Keep x as it is, unless it isn't set to anything at all. If it doesn't exist, set it to y"

[fallen timber]

ohh, ok

[fallen timber]

whats the translation key of consumable type? For example Tarot Cards, Planet (badge),

[fallen timber]

foreach in it?

[idle plaza]

b_<type>_cards for "Type Cards", such as when looking at the list of consumable types in the collection

k_<type> for "Type", which is the text used in the badge itself.

[fallen timber]

uhh this goes into misc.dictionary?

[idle plaza]

Yes

[fallen timber]

thanks

[tulip pecan]

How would I add a Joker Display line for any potential joker (vanilla or modded) that has a certain config item that my mod sets? Would it be a similar method to patching generate_card_ui and simply checking for the value?

[fallen timber]

foreach in it and do SMODS.has_enhancement(iteration_card, 'm_steel')
replace m_steel with your needed enchantment

[floral spindle]

        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.end_of_round and context.other_card:get_id() == 14 and context.other_card:is_suit(card.ability.extra.suit) then
            hasstonecardinscore = false
            for card in context.scoring_hand do
                if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_stone") then
                    hasstonecardinscore = true
                end
            end            
            if context.other_card.debuff and hasstonecardinscore == true then
                return {
                    message = localize('k_debuffed'),
                    colour = G.C.RED
                }
            else
                return {
                    x_mult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }
            end
        end
    end```

this code crashes game

how fix

[fallen timber]

may you provide the crash log?

[gilded blaze]

I gotta say you're making your life harder by downgrading to SMODS 0.9.8 style of declaring a new object

[idle plaza]

Use this instead:

            for _, playing_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if SMODS.has_enhancement(playing_card, "m_stone") then
                    hasstonecardinscore = true
                    break
                end
            end

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[fallen timber]

^

[fallen timber]

is there a better way?

[gilded blaze]

just straight up use SMODS.Consumable

why intermediate method

[fallen timber]

i use it like 16 times

i dont like repeating code

so i just made a function

[gilded blaze]

this is lowkey better

define each object as a table
put them all into a larger one
then run a loop

[fallen timber]

may i see how you define joker_table?

[daring fern]

You could also just extend SMODS.Consumable

[fallen timber]

interesting, thanks for the idea

[gilded blaze]

it's better than your previous one, sure
but it's still not ideal

it's best you put each object in a separate file
and make a folder containing all those files
then in main.lua (your main file), load all items in that folder

otherwise you end up with an ever-inflating single file

😭

[fallen timber]

i already have separate files like jokers.lua, weapons.lua, decks.lua, etc all in items folder

[gilded blaze]

if you don't plan to have 100+ weapons, fine then

[fallen timber]

i already made all of them

[normal crest]

18k lines....

[fallen timber]

the only 2 things left are texture atlas and weapon execution system

[gilded blaze]

and still going up since this is my local branch and I'm adding more stuff as we speak

[normal crest]

I'm scared

[fallen timber]

hello scared, I'm Lirox

[normal crest]

hi Lirox I'm sleepy

[wary moth]

Is there a standard way to create your own "events" for jokers to calculate?
Like, my mod adds the ability to click tags to use a charge of that tag to do some action, and I'd like for jokers to be able to react to it

[daring fern]

You would call a context where you are triggering the tags.

[wary moth]

so do I just loop through all the jokers, call the calculate function and pass in my own "context" table that just sets some value like {tag_charge_used = true, tag = "tag_whatevertagkey"}

[daring fern]

No, SMODS.calculate_context({modprefix_tag_clicked = true, tag = tag})

[wary moth]

Ooooh okay ty ty thats helpful

[meager oracle]

whats the function for checking edition?

im using if context.other_card.edition == "e_prefix_edition" then but its not working :(

[daring fern]

if context.other_card.edition and context.other_card.edition.modprefix_key

[meager oracle]

ok ty

[mystic river]

card.edition is a table if the card has an edition
check card.edition and card.edition.type
or what something said, that also works

[wary moth]

quick question sorry
would setting context.before and context.after to true for before/after the effect be appropriate here? Or is that not how those are intended to be used?

[daring fern]

No, that would trigger jokers that trigger on those contexts.

[wary moth]

Ah okay I think I might've misunderstood what the purpose of those contexts were

ty!

[gilded blaze]

just don't do SMODS.calculate_context({before = true, after = true}) directly

objects that rely on those contexts expect more fields, which will certainly crash the game

[elder yoke]

Hello everyone, i got a question regarding a joker idea i have. Is it possible to make a joker that makes face cards function like wild cards? I want to try and make one but i don't know whether that is even possible or not.

[gilded blaze]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = {
    quantum_enhancements = true,
}
SMODS.Joker{
    key = "example",
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.check_enhancement and context.other_card:is_face() then
            return {
                m_wild = true,
            }
        end
    end,
}

oh

huh

is_face takes Pareidolia into account

ah, context loop

😭

[wary moth]

I need to figure out how to set my project up so that I have context menus so I can actually navigate these contexts

[elder yoke]

Ah, Ty for the help!

[gilded blaze]

wait, don't use it yet

replace context.other_card:is_face() with SMODS.Ranks[context.other_card.base.value].face

[elder yoke]

Okay

[wintry solar]

What sort of menu do you mean?

[wary moth]

for my IDE
I just been opening files with the default IDE, which is Visual Studio for me, (probably since I usually work in Unity) but theres no context menus of any kind showing when I press G. for example, it won't show me what options are available from it, I been having to memorize, reference documentation (which is hard to navigate sometimes to find what I need exactly) or print values to see what is in them, or, just ask questions here

[daring fern]

https://github.com/frostice482/balatro-lsp

[wary moth]

Oh hell yeah, thank youuuuu that looks like a lifesaver

[frosty dock]

No, smods detects context loops.

[wary moth]

How can I mimmick the ability of a joker by joker key? (if possible)

[daring fern]

#⚙・modding-general message

[frosty dock]

this will break on smods#1322

[daring fern]

If that gets merged then they would use that function instead.

[frosty dock]

true, just wanted it to be known that this will no longer work

or maybe it makes sense to actually redirect that to the new function? probably

[ancient mango]

i want to make something but i dont have any ideas for what to make

[vital wren]

lovely patches Card:open to not set G.STATE = G.STATES.TAROT_PACK etc.

how would i go about checking what type of pack is open?

[daring fern]

SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER.config.center.kind

[vital wren]

ahh, config.center

that worked perfect! thanks!

[final jewel]

Does the global calculate happend before every other calculate in the same context ?

[wintry solar]

No, afterwards

[primal robin]

speaking of it. Can ve consider a new release? So far there was no big changes merged, so merging 2 optimization prs and making new release for sake of performance makes sense?
We can figure out how make quantum enhancements properly later, right?

[final jewel]

oh

shit

[wary moth]

Just curious, has anyone took advantage of lua metatables for balatro modding?
Been learning more lua, and it looked super powerful, so I was curious if there was any applicable examples of it, cause I thought it'd be fun to see

[umbral zodiac]

i have metatable addiction

only really for minor things tho

[wary moth]

Oooo I would love to hear of cool uses of it though, any stand out?

[umbral zodiac]

but also basically every object in balatro uses metatables in order to make object oriented-like programming with them

this is one i have tho
very very simple

[wary moth]

Ooooo okay okay I heard about metatables being useful for that

[umbral zodiac]

i did this so i could do results[x] = results[x] + y without having to check if results[x] was there already

[wary moth]

I'm more used to object oriented programming (came from working in C# for Unity), so lua has been.. interesting to learn

[wary moth]

Ahhh I see, thats super cool actually

[primal robin]

metatables is a way to define getters/setters by using middleware basically

[wary moth]

Yeah yeah, that makes sense, was looking at what you posted, I suppose you're just making an update system of some kind that uses __index as a getter
thats pretty cool

[daring fern]

Yes, I use metatables for my blueprint enhancement: https://github.com/Somethingcom515/SealsOnJokers/blob/dev/main.lua#L2999

[wary moth]

So
I'm making a mod that remixes all the cards in vanilla balatro (called "Disheveled")
and, so far I was just adding new jokers/consumeables/etc that suppress the originals from showing up in the pool
But I came to the realization after making an effect that reacts to you gaining a "juggle tag" specifically
And I realized that, if someone else made a key check for that in a different mod, I would like the keys to inherently also apply to the disheveled versions. So gaining a "disheveled juggle tag" I want to also trigger "juggle tag" effects for example
One idea I had on achieving that was changing the metatables of any "key" values to override the __eq when comparing it
But, I realized that was probably... awful, and probably annoying to set up anyways
(The other option I'm concidering after Somethingcom515 showed me the mimic joker effect, was to just override the base jokers with all values of the Disheveled variants instead of having entirely new copies of each thing. But, that also is probably really messy too so, I probably just wont worry about it)

[daring fern]

That wouldn't work because __eq is only triggered if the other value also has the same __eq function on Lua 5.1 which is the version of Lua that Balatro uses.

[wary moth]

Oh wow thats actually an incredible use of metatables actually
I cant say I completely understand whats going on because of my lacking understanding of everything in balatro modding, but I think I see the general idea of what you're doing, super cool! thanks for sharing

[wary moth]

Ahhhh okay interesting! Good to know
Yeah it sounded messy anyways, but was a thought I had

[ancient mango]

what are the licenses and what do they mean
(number 5 #📜・modding-rules message)

[normal crest]

They are just text explaining what you can and can't do with the software

[ancient mango]

which one should i use

[wary moth]

How can I figure out if the game is in the "select blind" screen? (Or any screen that is viable for calling G.FUNCS.reroll_boss(), to be specific)

[normal crest]

Depends on what you want people to be able to do with your mod

[ancient mango]

what do the different licenses mean

[normal crest]

there are way too many...

[ancient mango]

i mean the common ones'

[umbral zodiac]

would heavily recommend GPL3 as it's the standard for balatro modding and basically allows people to do whatever with your creation including making their own versions or using your code so long as they also use gpl3

i believe i got that correct

[ancient mango]

ok

thank you

i will do that

[daring fern]

if G.STATE == G.STATES.BLIND_SELECT

[ancient mango]

also in file explorer there is an option to show hidden items liek AppData or .git and such is there a way to do that in vscode

[grizzled tide]

Is there a function I can hook to make a playing card score even when debuffed (like for jokers we can hook can_calculate)

[tranquil axle]

modding people, I remember there being a place where I can see the game code after lovely injects applied, where is that?

[daring fern]

Mods/lovely/dump

[tranquil axle]

[daring fern]

No, you would have to patch SMODS.calculate_main_scoring

[past spade]

looking to replicate the "only get legendaries you dont have gold sticker on yet" mechanic for my own stake, where in the code is that located?

[ancient mango]

why does my mod not show up

[frosty dock]

desciption

[ancient mango]

oh

desciption

how do i make it multipel lines long

i just realized i messed up the icon pos

[gilded blaze]

4 Aces, 12 Face Cards, 36 Number Cards
13 Number Cards, 13 Red Stakes
13 Face Cards, 13 Aces

I see nothing wrong here

[ancient mango]

also how do i change the icons for ace face and number and not just suit cause deckskin only lets you change the icon for suits i think

i want to make it
4 Diamonds, 12 Clubs, 36 Spades
13 Number Cards, 13 Red Stakes
13 Face Cards, 13 Aces

someone?

[frosty dock]

you can just override the atlas that contains those

[ancient mango]

what do you mean

[wary moth]

This is how I am creating a tag

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        local tag = Tag("tag_dishevel_juggle")
        tag:set_ability()
        add_tag(tag)
        play_sound('holo1', 1.2 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.4)
        return true
    end
}))

Is there a way to make this immediately call apply on the tags upon it being created?

[frosty dock]

seems reasonable. one thing that comes to mind is that we should probably allow backwards compat with delay_sprites="quantum" by means of redirecting to the new function. A feature overhaul can wait I guess. In that case I do want to include another change I discussed with Wilson the other day

[ancient mango]

@frosty dock

[primal robin]

Easy to do, I'll do it

[frosty dock]

make atlases with the exact key the vanilla atlases for the icons use (using prefix_config or raw_key), I think that's ui_1 and ui_2 for the low and high contrast versions respectively. this is unconditional though, so if that's not good enough you'll have to patch the code responsible for creating the corresponding sprites

[grizzled tide]

mm, is there a way to have it still activate for individual context as well

[ancient mango]

i am still confused, is there an example?

[frosty dock]

SMODS.Atlas {
  key = "ui_1", -- low contrast icons
  prefix_config = { key = false },
  px = 18,
  py = 18,
  path = "icons_lc.png",
}

[ancient mango]

thanks

yay it works

[grizzled tide]

does anyone happen to know how to force the visuals of a playing card to update?

im using debuff card in the before context but its not working

like this?

[fading rivet]

get rid of SMODS.Ranks

and yeah

[elder yoke]

okay, lemme see if it works.

[elder yoke]

okay so something went wrong. there is a mistake but i can't figure out how to fix it, i have been trying the last couple of minutes but nothing works

delete the yellow bracket at the end

if it says it expected something that means you got a syntax error

what does pixel art smoothing even do

[sleek valley]

maybe im missunderstanding you but just use Debugplus and press ctrl + m to reload atlases?

the problem is how do i change the atlas not how to reload the change

what use is it to reload it if i cant change it

[sleek valley]

ah right, mb

[fading rivet]

switch the file path from 1x to 2x and vice versa

Can someone please help me? Right now im trying to make 2 jokers that have special functions when put together. The last 2 cards are supposed to work together, one gives chips and the other mult. Now i want to make so when both of these jokers are put together in the joker slot, they both give xchips and xmult alongside their original bonuses.

[fading rivet]

put in their calcualte function a check for the other joker

if its there, do extra

[elder yoke]

How would that exactly make that work? im still learning to code so i don't know exactly what you mean.

[fading rivet]

use next(SMODS.find_joker("j_modprefix_jokerkeyn")) to see if the other joker exists
