[fading rivet]

if so, add xmult or xchips to the calculate return table

[dusty fractal]

i think they want it to be specifically when they're next to eachother

right?

[fading rivet]

oh if you want them to be next to eacher

iterate through G.joker.cards

if the card found is the left or right one, check if the one to the right or left is the other card, if so, do extra stuff

if not, break

[elder yoke]

no it's for when they are together in the joker slot, position wouldn't matter!

there are definitely mistakes in here but i don't know how to fix it.

[elder yoke]

sorry for pinging you but can you please tell me what needs to be fixed?

[fading rivet]

xmult = next(SMODS.find_joker("j_yourmodprefix_TheRightSide")) and card.ability.extra.xmult or nil

[elder yoke]

so this?

no wait

[fading rivet]

get rid of the first line with next

[elder yoke]

i noticed that

[fading rivet]

and don't literally use yourmodprefix

[elder yoke]

Oh-

i thought it was necessary for it to work

[fading rivet]

like for me it would be j_foobar_miku

or j_akyrs_lagtrain for aiko

[elder yoke]

okay so like this?

[fading rivet]

j_Sarge_TheRightSide

[elder yoke]

Okay, done

[faint yacht]

SMODS.find_card, rather.

[tacit peak]

i tried to make a deck skin mod but it doesent show any of the textures in the deck skins menu. is this because i used the "enhanced" set? i didnt know which one means a deck skin so i assumed this was it

[elder yoke]

okay so the game unfortunately crashes

[fading rivet]

@elder yoke

[elder yoke]

ok

alright i got good news and bad news. the good news is the game doesn't crash anymore, the bad news is that no xmult gets applied

heres the code of both cards.

@fading rivet sorry for pinging you again

[slim ferry]

youre finding "TheRightSide" when the key you put for the joker is "The_Right_Side"

[elder yoke]

Ah ty

lemme fix that then

Ey it works!

Alright, now to apply it to the other one

IT WORKS!

alr i wanna thank u guys so much for helping me out with this

[ancient mango]

is there a guide for dependecy formating

[granite jay]

Anyone know how to make it so legendary jokers can appear in the shop?
Cos this doesn't work fsr

[slim ferry]

the key would be "Legendary" and not 4

[granite jay]

trying that now

[slim ferry]

also idk if take ownership will work? i recall there being some jank

[granite jay]

It doesn't, ugh.

[bold eagle]

I'm currently trying to make a joker that has a chance to destroy played cards, and I think I've mashed together too many jokers from vanilla remade to understand whats going on any more so I need some help

local counter = 0
        if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
            for _, pcard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'zwp_rot', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
                    counter = counter + 1
                    SMODS.destroy_cards(pcard)
                    
                end
            end
            
            
        end
        if counter > 0 then
            return{
                message = "Rotted"
            }
        end

all of this withing calculate obviously

[daring fern]

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'zwp_rot', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
    return {remove = true, message = 'Rotted'}
end

[silent sail]

can someone tell me how to fix this code? currentyl it works but if i try it with a full hand it removes play size, confuing stuff

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

[bold eagle]

and that will remove the cards individually?

like, not every played card but it rolls for each one

[daring fern]

Yes.

[bold eagle]

sweet

thank you so much

[fading rivet]

UTDR has some code that does that, same for cryptid

[solemn wharf]

hiii im working on a joker that creates a negative soul card every time a lovers card is sold, but for some reason this error appears, could anyone help me?

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions#contextselling_card this context does not have context.consumeable

it does have context.card

[solemn wharf]

yes but there is no context.selling_consumeable right?

i mean how can i write it

[daring fern]

if context.selling_card and context.card.config.center.key == 'c_lovers'

[solemn wharf]

oooh right

sorry im still new to modding

yep that works thanks so much

ok now i got a new error, this happens when all the 3 lovers cards have been sold and the game is trying to create the negative soul card

so this part of the code

:/

[normal crest]

Change set to key in the add_card call

[granite jay]

Where's that at?

[solemn wharf]

i did that but now it generates infinite soul cards :((

[normal crest]

You are forgetting to reset the amount of lovers sold

You should do that before the events

[solemn wharf]

ooooh your right

ok i set it to 0 and now it works

thanks so much

:)

[ancient mango]

why did it crash

[fading rivet]

idk

I just know one of the cards lets legendaries appear on shop

[granite jay]

Deck of equillibrium?

[fading rivet]

thats in cryptid

but yeah that works too

[fast moss]

im getting this error and im not sure why, it stemmed from me attempting to add this joker and rarity (let me know if you need anything else to help solve)

and if i ignore the rarity and just set it to legendary, this happens when i play a hand

[rapid stag]

does anyone know a way to get negative cards to appear in the deck?

[frosty dock]

pool is not a valid property on a SMODS.Rarity

you also don't need to have a separate pool for your rarity

[fast moss]

oooohhhhhhhh okay lemme try that in a sec

[fast moss]

also how would i fix the hand thing?

[primal robin]

Why collection_loc_vars exist only for blinds WHAT A HELL DUDE

[slim ferry]

because

Blinds are the only thing that need it

Well they dont really but thunk decided to do that

The whole blind collection is janky anyway

[frosty dock]

for cards you can easily check if they're in a collection and do stuff based on that

blinds aren't cards so they're of course weird

[primal robin]

bruh

How I supposed to extend vanilla joker loc_vars then

like I want keep vanilla one but just alter collection

theres no way I need literally copy vanilla loc vars, this sucks like hell

[frosty dock]

i think you can grab the vanilla loc vars result somehow

however i don't remember how

[primal robin]

man, what a lame, what a hell

Anyway... erm

[frosty dock]

local vars, main_start, main_end = card:generate_UIBox_ability_table(true)

there

[primal robin]

what a hell s this MP match btw

that's crazy

[frosty dock]

that is insane

[primal robin]

looks like someone really suck at UI

So like this will work right?

[frosty dock]

yeah that should work

[primal robin]

Umazing

[fast moss]

ah yes i love when i score ??? of ??? and my mult doubles

its the best feeling ever

[flint spindle]

how do you modify the rarity of the Soul? Either with a joker or voucher or tag or anything

[frosty rampart]

you have to use a patch i think, last i check it was very hardcoded

iirc not even taking ownership of it works

[flint spindle]

dang

[flint spindle]

Is there a way to check if a specific voucher is redeemed, like some function that returns a boolean maybe?

[true jasper]

if G.GAME.used_vouchers["voucher key here"] then
  -- do code
end```

[flint spindle]

TYTY

last thing, how do I get the cost of the current booster pack when I'm in context.skipping_booster?

[daring fern]

SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER.cost?

[flint spindle]

TYTY

[flint spindle]

I'm trying to make a voucher that does the showman thing when redeemed, but this doesn't do anything. Somehow, this voucher doesn't do anything, and Showman still does the effect despite me overriding it and removing the function there. How is this even possible

[daring fern]

Showman is hardcoded in SMODS.showman

Also it should be v_modprefix_key

[bold eagle]

do modded tarots have the same weight as vanilla ones?

[frosty rampart]

by default, yes. but if you opt into the new weight system (it's an optional feature), you can set individual consumables to be rarer or more common than usual

[bold eagle]

ooh

how do i do that

or will it break other mods

[frosty rampart]

won't break other mods, don't worry. it's an optional feature only because it adds more calculation contexts that might be heavy on performance, so smods will only do that for mods that actually need it
just enable the object_weights optional feature, and then add weight = X to whatever object you want to define
10 is the default weight
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Weight-System

[bold eagle]

cool, thanks

[flint spindle]

is there any way to change the key of the showman or at least delete / disable it?

[daring fern]

It does break vanilla seeding though.

[bold eagle]

wdym by that

[daring fern]

The cards that show up will be different from the cards that show up on the same seed without object_weights enabled.

[bold eagle]

ah

gotchu

thats probably fine

[daring fern]

You would have to patch SMODS.showman

[flint spindle]

how?

sorry if I keep asking for stuff this has just been really frustrating

but like I have no clue what entails "patching" something like that

do you just mean like overriding it or going into smods and changing it?

or something else?

[meager oracle]

is there any documentation on emult? its not in the normal attributes tab

[daring fern]

No, because it's not implemented in SMODS

[meager oracle]

oh mb i thought someone said it was baseline now

are you perchance making a kamsandwich mod

[silk latch]

I don't think KamSandwich has covered Ultrakill lol

[meager oracle]

eh close enough

[silk latch]

but Hybrid is there

[silk latch]

The current Joker list

I tried to make this blind remove enhancements from played cards by just copying shit from Vampire, but it's not doing anything.

[sturdy compass]

You would likely hook SMODS.add_to_pool and check if an object is from your mod (if prototype_obj.mod and prototype_obj.mod == 'YourModID' something along those lines)

This is a little advnaced for a new modder though

[fringe oxide]

why are my cards going the wrong way?

[near coral]

How do you change the selection limit on a specific blind

[daring fern]

You would use SMODS.change_play_limit and SMODS.change_discard_limit in set_blind then you would do the reverse in defeat and disable

[near coral]

So basically when selecting blind enact the change_play_limit to 3 but change it back to 5 upon defeating it or losing

Is that right or am I missing something

[daring fern]

Yes, you would also have to do SMODS.change_discard_limit

[near coral]

Alright

[tulip pecan]

How do I give a message to every joker in the joker area? This is my current code that currently does nothing, and so I'm sure I just don't know how to set up events properly

function Uma_Tact_refresh()
    for k, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if v.config.center_key == "j_uma_tact" then
            v.ability.extra.current = (G.GAME.uma_global_counts.spread + G.GAME.uma_global_counts.bloom) * v.ability.extra.increment

            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    return {
                        message = "test message",
                        card = v
                    }
                end
            }))

        end
    end
end

[daring fern]

SMODS.calculate_effect({message = 'message'}, v)

[grizzled tide]

does anyone know how to hook onto loc_vars? I'm not too familar with hooking SMODS.Joker functions

[tulip pecan]

is there a way I could also run a bit of code specifically when the message shows up, not when the message is queued?

[analog geode]

any ideas how to get the level of the lowest level hand?

[daring fern]

local level = math.huge
for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    if SMODS.is_poker_hand_visible(k) and v.level <= level then
        level = v.level
    end
end

[near coral]

Is it possible to pin every joker to their current position, the pinned thing says the leftmost specifically and I wanna know how strict it is

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    v.states.drag.can = false
end

[near coral]

So it has nothing to do with the pin thing?

[daring fern]

Yes, Pinned sorts pinned jokers based on when they were created.

[near coral]

Okay

Makes sense since it's only ever used for one challenge

[coral flume]

How do I get the consumeable currently being used?

[daring fern]

If it's in context.using_consumeable then it's context.consumeable otherwise it's G.play.cards[1]

[coral flume]

Cool, and if i was getting the names of the cards it would be something like context.consumeable.ability.name?

[daring fern]

No, it would be localize({type = 'name_text', key = context.consumeable.config.center.key, set = context.consumeable.config.center.type.key})

[coral flume]

Ah cheers

This crashes because the random element is returning nil. any idea why?

  local planet_pool = get_current_pool('Planet')
  local planetchoice = psuedorandom_element(planet_pool, "seedyseedseed")

I GOT IT

I can't spell lol

[frosty dock]

psuedorandom

[coral flume]

Yehhhh I just went, "hey wonder if i'm spelling this wrong" and low and behold

[ancient mango]

when i pressed the textures buttonin the options it crashed

[analog geode]

ah i forgot to thank you for this, works perfectly :)

[coral flume]

I'm trying to make a card return to hand if played. Is there a way to do this?

[daring fern]

if context.stay_flipped and context.other_card == card and context.from_area == G.play and context.to_area == G.discard then
    return {modify = {to_area = G.hand}}
end

[coral flume]

You legend

[sly heron]

my game crashes when try to play my deck.

[daring fern]

Try putting the SMODS.set_scoring_calculation in an event.

[sly heron]

Thx, it works

[glacial idol]

Hey guys— where can I get my mod uploaded to BMM? I found the BMM index form, but when adding the release .zip GH link I get an error asking me to “use a download link”

Is there any other form / alternative way?

i think youre supposed to use the clone zip link not the release zip link

[split saddle]

I want to make a texture pack that replaces the tarot artwork. How can I change the tarot's atlas to mine?

[sly heron]

my game crashes after tag was supose to apply .

[glacial idol]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[vale grove]

whats the correct way of making a consumeable only usable when in a blind?

[rapid stag]

try wrapping the consumable's use ocnditions (if you have any) inside the can_use function inside a check for G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND

regardless, the correct way would be to ensure that can_use only ever returns true during the precise conditions that you want to use it.

[vale grove]

i know but im not sure what the correct way to check if youre in a blind or not for a consumeable

bcs i want this consumable to halve the current blind score needed

[rapid stag]

hmmm

[vale grove]

ive already looked up how to do it for a joker bcs a mod i like does something similar

but directly translating that to consumeable logic doesnt work sadly

[rapid stag]

well if you're using the newer releases of steamodded, that specifically should be easy by using 0.5 xblindsize in the consumable's use function

[vale grove]

uhh

i updated like a week ago

i had issues with levelling that was fixed in newer versions so i decided to update it

[vale grove]

G.GAME.blind.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips / 2
this is what i using befroe

[split saddle]

Bump

[silk latch]

Tried making this blind that basically just acts like Vampire, but it doesn't do anything.

[vale grove]

(or rather what i tried using)

[vale grove]

how does blind size work?

[rapid stag]

from what i understand, it's basically the same as chips/mult/xchips/xmult/etc. that jokers do

you could probably do smth like SMODS.calculate_effect({ xblindsize = 0.5 }, card) in your consumable's use function?

[vale grove]

oh that actually works

wowie

but im still a little confused on how to get the can_use correctly

[rapid stag]

is during a blind the only condition where you want the consumable usable?

[vale grove]

every consumable ive looked at from other stuff has a different context check which makes sense

[vale grove]

yes

[rapid stag]

you could probably trry

can_use = function(self, card)
  return G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND
end

[vale grove]

yeah that works

thanks\

[split saddle]

bump

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.blind.in_blind

[rapid stag]

right, forgot about that. return that from your can_use function instead

[sly heron]

bump

[elder yoke]

Can anyone please help me? I have been making a joker that gives xmult if the poker hand is a high card, but instead it will always give xmult for every poker hand. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[vale grove]

one sec

if context.joker_main and context.scoring_name == 'High Card' then

try that

[elder yoke]

like this?

[vale grove]

ye

thats what I use for something similar

[elder yoke]

alright, let me see if it works

No it still applies it to all joker hands

[elder yoke]

sorry for pinging

[vale grove]

nws nws

idk you could try simplifying it a little bit

like why do you have card.ability.extra.type?

[elder yoke]

I'll admit, i had copied the code of one of those common poker hand jokers, without exactly knowing what some things do.

[split saddle]

ump

[vale grove]

what i do is slightly different

[elder yoke]

Im still trying to learn code so i didn't know what each line of code exactly does.

[vale grove]

        if context.before and not context.blueprint and context.scoring_name == 'High Card' then

i just have this

which then triggers a line that scales itself with chips mult and xmult

        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
            }
        end

and then this block which actually applies it all

so im not entirely sure why your stuff doesnt work

[elder yoke]

Should i send some footage of the card in action?

maybe that could help

[vale grove]

well you just said it always triggers right?

[elder yoke]

Yes

[vale grove]

id say try to simplify it

[elder yoke]

How do i do that?

[vale grove]

remove everything that isnt necessarry for a MVP (minimal viable product)

basically id say

[vale grove]

from this block

remove mult

if youre only doing xmult

in the loc_vars

wait

[elder yoke]

wait wait

[vale grove]

i just realised you have two loc_vars?

[elder yoke]

i just realised that to...

this is the second time something like this has happened-

[vale grove]

haha no worries

we all make mistakes

but to help simplify

    config = { extra = {
        chips = 6,
        mult = 7
    },

    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return { vars = { center.ability.extra.chips, center.ability.extra.mult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                message = 'MANGO',
                sound = 'YA_Mango',
                colour = G.C.MULR
            }
        end
    end

heres an exmple of something i use

ignore the corny joke

but

if you do something very simple liek this

and change the context check to have lua context.scoring_name == 'High Card'

i think that would work

[slim ferry]

G.C.MULR

[vale grove]

Ive had that tyoo

since it's inception

its part of the code now

[slim ferry]

amazing

[vale grove]

I think if I remove that I'll explode

[elder yoke]

alright i am not sure if this is correct so if it's not please let me know what i need to fix

[vale grove]

you don't need chips

and the "Lua" was me typing something incorrectly

oh and change center ability extra mult to xmult

[grizzled tide]

is there a function to set the soul sprite? I know there's set_sprite_pos for the regular card sprite

[elder yoke]

okay so like this?

[slate turtle]

hey is any1 willing to help me iwth a sprite

[vale grove]

yeah I think so

[elder yoke]

okay, let me see if it works

It works!

tysm so much for the help! (and putting up with my stupidity-)

[vale grove]

nah dw

I remember when I was in your shoes a few months back

[elder yoke]

I've been trying to make my own little mod so being able to ask here for help has saved me a lot.

[slate turtle]

long story short, i'm making a spectral card. though i can do some sprites just fine spectrals seem a tad bit too complex so if anyone is willing to help me out, please do ^^

[silk latch]

I tried to make effectively a boss blind version of Vampire, but it's not working for some reason? Am I missing something?

[vale grove]

oh yeah me too

I was/am in the exact same boat

Im making an inside joke mod for my college

[elder yoke]

oh so for friends and classmates?

[split saddle]

bump...

[vale grove]

yeah exactly

[elder yoke]

That's pretty cool, i hope they enjoy it!

[vale grove]

it's so sad seeing you bump the same question when I don't know the answer 😭

[vale grove]

oh they have ive already released some demos

[split saddle]

yeah ik

[elder yoke]

Nice to hear

[split saddle]

i'm just waiting for someone who could know the answer to read my message ig

[vale grove]

and I will release It publicly after removing their faces from the sprites

to not dox anyone

[elder yoke]

I am actually trying to make a TF2 mod! I saw there wasn't a mod for it so decided why not make one for it?

[vale grove]

oh hell yeah

[elder yoke]

You actually just helped me fix the code for the direct hit joker!

[vale grove]

I was considering doing something similar but for persona

one of my favorite game series

and i still might but I'll have to see

I'm def gonna wait until 1.1 for that

[elder yoke]

these are the jokers i got finished rn! (This is a test mod i use for testing thats why there are Cotl cards in there to)

[vale grove]

the spies are really funny

or

spy

[elder yoke]

U mean the red and blue ones?

[vale grove]

yes

are there any other spies?

[elder yoke]

I like all 3 of them, i think i did pretty well on them! Did get some advice on the spy coat and it def looks better then the old versions

[elder yoke]

Uh currently not. rn im planning to make cards of whatever ideas i have.

[vale grove]

I'm not looking forward to spriting my mod for the public version

def my worst quality

[elder yoke]

Those 2 spies actually work together in an fun way! one gives chips and the other mult, but when together they give xchips and xmult!

[elder yoke]

come on don't beat urself down yet

i believe you can make some good card art!

[vale grove]

none of the art I currently have is made by me lmao

[elder yoke]

actually i got a question i want to ask regarding a joker card idea i got.

[vale grove]

I have some art friends who usually do it for me

sure

[elder yoke]

Oh, can you show me some?

[vale grove]

i have this one

thats cloverpit inspired

[elder yoke]

Okay, so i want to make a joker that gives +2 chips for each chips obtained from playing cards. so if you play an ace you gain +22 chips once all playing cards are used in hand.

[vale grove]

uhh

[elder yoke]

Looks pretty nice!

[vale grove]

i think

you can just get the id and do it X2

bcs ace ID = 11

so if you do something card_chips = card:id X2

that should work

although

that line i just typed wont work

bcs thats not how to correctly call it

but that idea should work

[elder yoke]

Okay then, i wanted to just know if it was possible but thanks!

[vale grove]

oh with programming

usually the sky is the limit

i have a deck that allows you to play the daily wordle

[elder yoke]

the joker would be for the black box, though i do not have the card art for it yet.

[elder yoke]

what-

[vale grove]

yeah

\

[elder yoke]

tbh that's kind of funny

[vale grove]

its one of my proudest creations

im really happy with how it turned out

[elder yoke]

tbh u should've called it "Joker with a typewriter"

[vale grove]

hmm

i could do thta

[elder yoke]

cus funny

[frosty rampart]

i love how many times people have independently made "wordle in balatro"

[elder yoke]

Actually i have one more question!

how would you share your mods with github exactly?

[vale grove]

oh really?

[elder yoke]

i want it to share it with someone so they can try it themselves.

[silk latch]

bumping this

[vale grove]

do you know how to make ar epo

[elder yoke]

wordle is popular here sheesh!

[elder yoke]

no, i do not unfortunately

[vale grove]

i made it because my friends like to play the daily wordle

[vale grove]

its not very difficult i reccomend just looking up a tutorial for it

[frosty rampart]

off the top of my head ellestuff has a wordle joker (using canvassprite to render on the joker and it reads your keyboard), and aikoyori's shenanigans has wordle as a boss blind (because the mod lets you attach letters to your playing cards)

[vale grove]

im honestly really happy with how mine works

allowing you to actually play it

fetching the daily wordle

and then taking the first letter of your joker and using as if youre actually playing

[vale grove]

the sprite i use for mine is an actual wordle attempt but i just removed the letters

[sly heron]

[meager oracle]

does anyone know why this doesnt work 😭

            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event{
                        func = function()
                            play_sound('prefix_musictrack')
                            return true
                        end
            })
        end```

[idle plaza]

I don't know for sure, but I don't think your mod's prefix is literally "prefix"

[meager oracle]

its not

thats js like

yknow

for formality

[idle plaza]

You do need to put your mod's actual prefix in the string for whichever custom sound you're calling.

[meager oracle]

i know its js for discord 😭

[idle plaza]

Anyways, is that your whole calculate function? Or is there more before that? This little snippet of code looks fine as long as the correct string is in the play_sound call.

[idle plaza]

Also, please be more specific about how it "doesn't work". Does it cause any crash or error? Does it just do nothing when you enter a blind?

[meager oracle]

yeah its the only thing in calculate

it gives an attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'dt' [a nil value] error

[idle plaza]

Could you show a screenshot of the actual error message?

[meager oracle]

trying to get the txt file but discords being weird

[idle plaza]

Okay, so I'm getting an idea of what's going wrong here. This file is actually supposed to be music, is that correct? It seems like music isn't meant to be played through play_sound

Have you looked through https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Sound ? Because determining when a music track is or isn't meant to be played, should be controlled within select_music_track(self) in your music's SMODS.Sound table.

[meager oracle]

oh okay

yeah i missed that part

how can i check if the stake is a certain stake or higher

[frosty dock]

don't

set a flag when the stake is applied and check that

[rapid stag]

oh right, stakes apply previous stakes

[umbral zodiac]

stakes → steaks

[rapid stag]

so do i hook apply for that?

[frosty dock]

yeah

[rapid stag]

...SMODS.GameObject.apply or SMODS.Stake.apply?
-# although probably apply_to_run

[ancient mango]

can someone help me figure out what theses would do ( and what to call them)
also if you overlay both thats just makes normal jimbo

[normal crest]

better channel for that kind of question is #⚙・modding-general

[sly heron]

bump

[frosty dock]

the specific stake's apply function

actually I should check something

[frosty dock]

yeah i'm stupid you can use G.GAME.applied_stakes which is an array of stake keys and check if the stake in question is included. there really should be a map version of this

flags are still preferred for uniquely applying an effect for the stake elsewhere

[silk latch]

What if instead of SET_SFX it was-

[maiden phoenix]

I'm gonna start saying don't to every question I see here

[frosty dock]

I guess that means I do more than I don't

[wintry solar]

no you don't more than you do

[frosty rampart]

well how much of that is from "do not"

[wintry solar]

but every don't contains a do, no?

or does it not find partial matches?

[frosty dock]

nah it doesn't count partial matches

[wintry solar]

😭

why does it find this one

[frosty dock]

because it's weird

verb forms normally count but contracted negations maybe don't?

yeah that checks out

i can a lot more than i can't, apparently

[silent sail]

can someone tell me whhy this still gets destroyed when eternal?

y1 here willing help me w/ some sprites for my mod

[warped leaf]

I could be willing

[fading rivet]

How do I set a variable when a run starts?

[silk latch]

bumping this again, how do I fix this?

[slim ferry]

unrelated to it not working but you should just use card.vampired instead of a new variable

since vampired is already used pretty much everywhere to check if a card is going to have its enhancement removed

[gilded narwhal]

hey is there a defined context for when a card is enhanced to a specific enhancement

[frosty rampart]

no, but you can use context.setting_ability with some extra checks

[rapid stag]

aure, give context.setting_ability before and after ability tables of the set card and my life is yours!

-# i could probably make that happen myself though, i just wanted an excuse to do this bit

[frosty rampart]

i mean
you do get the after, through context.other_card

any particular reason you need the before?

[rapid stag]

i have a joker that increases the given dollar value of gold cards, but when you set ability, it resets the entire ability table, so normally you can't combo that joker with smth like midas mask, which is part of the intent of that effect

the way i solve this is via a patch that makes midas mask only make face cards that aren't already gold cards, gold cards, but it's not a fix that i'm particularly happy with

[frosty rampart]

did you see context.unchanged exists in context.setting_ability

so you can avoid applying the increase if you're converting a gold card to a gold card

[rapid stag]

i'm not doing any converting. any converting happens with midas mask. it's a combo issue. the reason i want a way to get the before table in context.setting_ability is so i could, in either my mod calculate or in that joker's calculate, see if midas mask changed a gold card to a gold card and force it to respect the value change

[frosty rampart]

see if midas mask changed a gold card to a gold card
you can do that. with context.unchanged.

along with checking if context.new is "m_gold"

[wintry solar]

nah they can't access the old values

[frosty rampart]

i guess i'm just not getting the issue, sorry lol

[wintry solar]

joker scales gold card to +4, later midas mask changes +4 gold to +3 gold, no way to set back to +4

[rapid stag]

wait, this looks like it would be a really easy PR, now that i take a sec to look

would it not be appropriate to make the old_center here accessible as part of the context table?

[daring fern]

Yes, you could just do G.P_CENTERS[context.old]

[rapid stag]

if i increase a value in the ability table of an instanced card, and try to enforce that change by trying to access that prior value before it gets reset via set_ability, i can't do that via the prototype centre

[wintry solar]

you can't do that with the old center either

[rapid stag]

i see. so the only option would be to do something like put copy_table(self.ability) into a local variable and pass that as part of the context table?

[sharp mural]

hello chat i know NOTHING about modding or coding but i made a card skin pack (just replaces default faces + number card colors) using a mod template. but i was trying to make it so it added a new card skin so i could do high contrast and low skins (and looked at other card packs to see what lua code they used) and i got in the game!! but 1. it wont change the number card colors to my new skin? 2. it adds a gradient to hc cards which ik is in the game code already but id like it not to be if possible. does anyone know anything about why its doing this (#1) or how i can stop it doing this (#2)

[silk latch]

I have this blind but it doesn't do anything

[fading rivet]

Anyone know why passing in data for an infoqueue via {set = "custom_set", key = "custom_key", vars = {some table}} results in a name displaying but not a description, but it does work if I do this for vanilla objects?

it wasn't even working with the Other set

[near pagoda]

I just made my first mod for any game every and it took me like 6 hours for one joker 😭 I would love it if anyone more experienced than me could take a look and see if i did anything wrong.
https://github.com/Be4nos25/BalatroButFunny?tab=MIT-1-ov-file

[sturdy compass]

It looks actually pretty close to good, but I would move the check to start juicing after you add to the "destroyed" variable instead of its own context

[near pagoda]

Makes sense just changed it

Oh shi your youtube tutorial helped me a lot i just realized who you are!

[formal vessel]

so the smods wiki shows the sounds for the soundtracks, but i dont see the other sounds like xmult, gaining a tag, etc, does anyone have a list of those sounds

Here is one from my mod, it for some reason makes the ante go up when defeated despite me seeing what I believe is stuff meant to not do that

[wintry solar]

Have you done any patching to make this work?

[primal robin]

A lot of code damn, maybe even too much

[mystic river]

yeah, vanilla code assumes that any blind not named exactly "Small Blind" or "Big Blind" is a boss, and you have to patch to fix this
e.g. https://github.com/wingedcatgirl/Menthol/blob/main/lovely/blinds.toml#L34

[primal robin]

I dont like non-blicking non-blockable events in it tho

This thing hard to time properly

[formal vessel]

[wary moth]

How would one customize the process the way the game interprets what poker hand you are playing?
Such as the Four Fingers and Shortcut effects, but, doing your own custom stuff, like, "all hands are pairs" for example

[daring fern]

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

[formal vessel]

using this, the xmult appears yellow, how do i make it be the red color it normally is

i assume i change colour = colour to smth else, but idk to what

[wary moth]

G.C.Mult I think

[wary moth]

Heres all the colours from G.C
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#named-colours-dictionary-gargsloc_colours

[daring fern]

G.C.MULT

[wintry solar]

This xmult = 1 doesn’t do anything

[daring fern]

Yes, that's so other jokers can see that it's trying to give xmult.

[lyric wadi]

is there a way to manipulate the rarity value of a card

[silk latch]

wait no it does

[formal vessel]

thank you

[silk latch]

it just doesn't do editions and shit

[lyric wadi]

like not the rarity tag value, but like actually changing the weight of it getting polled

i wanna make a card slightly more common than the common rarity without defining a new rarity and shifting everything around, if that's possible

[daring fern]

Enable the object_weights optional feature and add weight = number to the object definition.

[lyric wadi]

and can that value be manipulated or is it a static config

[daring fern]

If you want to modify it you would use get_weight instead.

[mystic river]

alternately, as a cheap hack, you can make it give a tiny bit above x1 mult
the bit will make the message show, and if it's tiny enough it'll be lost in rounding and not even get displayed

but something's method is better if you want to be sure it's exactly x1

How to change the rank of the first discarded card to ante?

ex: K --> ante 13

[silk latch]

mfw rank 39

[daring fern]

if context.discard and #context.full_hand == 1 and context.other_card == context.full_hand[1] and G.GAME.round_resets.ante <= SMODS.Rank.max_id.value and G.GAME.current_round.discards_used == 0 then
    local rank = 'Ace'
    for k, v in pairs(SMODS.Ranks) do
        if v.id == G.GAME.round_resets.ante then
            rank = v.key
        end
    end
    return {func = function() SMODS.change_base(context.other_card, nil, rank) end}
end

[lyric wadi]

when enabling optional feature, can you enable it specifically for objects that utilise it, or is it just enabled as a mod setting for the entire mod

[mystic river]

it's for the entire mod
it doesn't really work otherwise

[lusty marten]

I thought this snippet was meant to change a card's rank to match the current Ante? Is that correct?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lusty marten]

Thanks for the confirmation. to be more specific, i'm trying to make the joker transform the first discarded card's rank to the ante level (if it has only 1 card on the first discard)

is it posible?

ex: the first discard is K , so the ante will go to 13

[lyric wadi]

aw man

but then it's gonna create rng parity :(

[daring fern]

Do you want to change the ante or the rank of the card?

[frosty dock]

No, your code changes the rank of the card, not the ante.

[gilded blaze]

I think you got it backwards

you asked for the first discarded card's rank to become ante number according to the example, but the other way around in the actual description

[lusty marten]

English isn't my first language, so I might struggle a bit with the phrasing. Please bear with me if my descriptions seem a bit 'backwards' sometimes!

Okay

feel free to dm me if you want/need help

[near coral]

My coder tried but nothing worked so far

[fading rivet]

what blind does this replace

[near coral]

Big blind

[fading rivet]

okay

[fading rivet]

here's what i've found from messing with stuff in my mod
making sure blind.boss is false and blind:get_type() is not "Boss" will fix most of the issues

then you need to patch things like this to also check for you blind

[near coral]

There is no instance of blind: get_type in the blind's code

[near coral]

What does this do

[fading rivet]

idk but its called

[fading rivet]

that was the wrong reply

[near coral]

Blind.boss is false but there isn't any instance of blind:get_type in there

[near coral]

For the sake of saving time can you fiddle around with the code to find out if all that works

Seeing as my coder operates daily rather than immediately

[silk latch]

I have this blind (and a version that just discards the selected card) but neither one actually does anything

[near coral]

Is this to make the game think it's big blind

[fading rivet]

no I can't tell you what im doing

sorry

jame stuff

[near coral]

It'd be better if you use an example that isn't confidential

[fading rivet]

i don't have an example that isn't confidential 😭

[near coral]

Can you just do this then

[fading rivet]

if you wait a month or so I can help

[near coral]

Since you can't reveal details

[near coral]

I'd rather not wait a month

[fading rivet]

i'd kinda prefer not to + your coder will have a better understanding if he does it himself

[near coral]

Alright

[fading rivet]

tell him to look into the cash_out button_callback and the end_round state_event

[near coral]

So in short:
Include blind:get_type()
Include these 2 things in the images
And look into the cash_out button_callback and the end_round state_event

[fading rivet]

👍

[near coral]

None of these are in the blind's lua code, are they found somewhere else

[fading rivet]

button_callbacks.lua and state_events.lua

[near coral]

Oh

[fading rivet]

not blind.lua

[near coral]

However the get_type() and the stuff in the 2 images are to be in blind.lua though right?

[fading rivet]

my guy read the contents of the second image

"functions/state_events.lua"

[near coral]

Oh I didn't see that part

[fading rivet]

the other is also there

idk where get_type is defined

a full file search of lovely/dump should find it

[wintry solar]

you also need to fix all the saving stuff too

[fading rivet]

the uh

the what

[near coral]

[wintry solar]

iirc the game will get confused where you are if you quit and reload

[fading rivet]

oh

okay I need to test that frick

[near coral]

By the way why does a code block take up the whole line when I do it but when others do it it doesn't

[fading rivet]

??

[near coral]

s

Oh wait

[fading rivet]

lmao

[near coral]

Nvm

[fading rivet]

yeah

[near coral]

I've been doing 3 on each side instead of 2

wait does this work (2)

one works btw

-- 3 is for a full code block
local with = "color support"

2 or 1 are for snippets

Unrelated to that, a boss blind I have forces a card to never be selected, and it works normally but when using better mouse and gamepad's right click hold it still gets selected

[daring fern]

Code?

[subtle wing]

So I'm working on a modded deck skin, and it works just fine in-game

But is there a way to give a single mod unique names for each suit? Like, instead of having a deck skin with a collective name for every suit

[daring fern]

You should be hooking CardArea:add_to_highlighted

[near coral]

Ok

[daring fern]

Also you should be doing showdown = true in boss instead of checking every ante.

[near coral]

Alright

Right now the showdown blinds aren't relegated to specific antes, I'm planning on adding them all first and then fixing up the minor stuff

[fading rivet]

thats a bit more than minor stuff thought

blind.boss.showdown is used in other places

[near coral]

I'm saying that I'm planning on adding all the bzr blinds and then correcting the minor details like minimum ante and showdown check before a public release

[subtle wing]

As I understand it I need to have this value change depending on what suit is being looked at

Any guidance from there?

This is what it does right now

I had the description point to a table, but I just need to get loc_txt to read from a specific item in the table

[versed swan]

loc_txt values should be a string; not sure what description is besides a table, but you access an item in it with description[key] where key is a key in the table, could be a number or specific string

[subtle wing]

Would sharing the lua file help clarify things?

[versed swan]

you could, but i just wanna see like where description is used, where it's defined etc

[versed swan]

Yeah you'd do like description[1] or description[3] etc, depending on which suit to use - note that in Lua the first item in the table is indexed 1

[subtle wing]

This is what the rest of that deckskin script looks like

[versed swan]

ohhh wait i see now

[normal crest]

In the for loop you can use the index which you currently have as _ and just put description[i]

Assuming you rename it to i

[versed swan]

^^ yea

As long as suits and descriptions are kind of "lined up" in terms of suits, that should work

[subtle wing]

Worked! Thanks a bunch

[silk latch]

the humble bump

[normal crest]

If it doesn't do anything at all I can only assume that the condition isn't being met

Did you check that it enters the if statement

[silk latch]

i don't even know how to check that

[normal crest]

Wait, I know, it's because your timer logic is in the calculate function

Calculate isn't called repeatedly all the time

If you wanna do stuff on a timer you probably should use the update function instead

[silk latch]

which works how

[normal crest]

update is called every frame

So you'll have to change your timer logic a bit

[silk latch]

how many FPS is balatro typically run at?

[normal crest]

Actually blinds don't seem to have an update function, so you'll prob have to make a hook for it

[normal crest]

And you shouldn't need to worry about that cus the update function receives a parameter that contains the amount of real time that passed since the last frame

[idle plaza]

You won't have to worry about that because dt in function Game:update(dt) (which you'll have to hook to get your blind to work) is the amount of time in seconds since the last update. So, you can your timer to start at 0 and add dt to itself in the loop until you reach a set number of seconds.

[versed swan]

What's the function that's basically generate_card_ui but for hovering over tags?

[silk latch]

yeah I don't know how to do that lol

[normal crest]

@silk latch this is how to make the hook (the G.nxkoo_dies isn't part of it, that was just that person's code)

you'll have to filter for your blind specifically, iirc it's if G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key == 'bl_prefix_key'

[silk latch]

okay but how do I make the injection itself

[rapid stag]

works, thanks

[rapid stag]

~~alright, question. i'm looking into making a mechanic where i sorta "restart the ante" as part of a consumable mechanic (that can't be used during a blind, obviously)

so for example, if you've beaten the first one or two blind and either you encounter this in the shop (most likely via spectral pack) or you just have it in your consumables area during the shop

the desired effect i would want to have, would be to put progress back to the first blind of that ante (so once you're back in blind selection, you would be choosing whether to start or skip the first blind) and reroll both skip tags~~

...how do i do that

nvm, decided on something else

[naive coral]

how do i check if a specific joker is currently owned?

[sturdy compass]

next(SMODS.find_card('card key'))

[naive coral]

does card key include the mod prefix

[daring fern]

Yes, it would be j_modprefix_key

[naive coral]

[coral flume]

Any way to change the color of the message in return?

[wary moth]

Yes, its colour for example:
colour = G.C.BLUE
And all the colours you can change the message to are here: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#named-colours-dictionary-gargsloc_colours

[timid zinc]

is there a function for after a playing card is scored?

[wary moth]

You can do this on calculate functions:
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
Not sure if thats what you were looking for or not

its for when a card is scored

[pastel kernel]

how do you make this level up all hands? ```lua
SMODS.upgrade_poker_hands{
from = card,
parameters = { "chips", "mult"},
level_up = 1,
hands = context.scoring_name
}

[gilded blaze]

don't specify hands

[true jasper]

it should by default if you don't have a specified hand but you may need to update spectral lib if it's not working

[wild patrol]

            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.4,
            func = function()
                play_sound('timpani')
                local card = SMODS.add_card { set = 'Joker', key = 'j_perkeo' } and SMODS.add_card { set = 'Joker', key = 'j_chicot' } and SMODS.add_card { set = 'Joker', key = 'j_yorick' } and SMODS.add_card { set = 'Joker', key = 'j_triboulet' }
                    if card then
                        if #G.jokers.cards >= G.jokers.config.card_limit then
                        card:set_edition({ negative = true }, true, true)
                        end
                    end
                card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                return true
            end```
trying to make this spawn all the legendaries, but if the spaces are full turns them negative sorta works but only makes triboulet negative is it possible to do it like this or do I need to make an individual E_MANAGER for each one?

[normal crest]

You should use a for loop within the event

[wary moth]

Is it possible to remove joker instances from your jokers, store them somewhere, and put them back later as is?

[normal crest]

Yeah that's what the game does when you continue a run after all. Using the save and load methods of Card

Something like

G.GAME.prefix_my_saved_joker = joker:save()

-- then to put them back
local loaded_joker = Card(0, 0, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, G.P_CENTERS.j_joker, G.P_CENTERS.c_base)
loaded_joker:load(G.GAME.prefix_my_saved_joker)

[gilded blaze]

I use this to save/load an arealess card

[wild patrol]

what's the best way to do the odds in the text description

I did it before but the odds are not visually shown to increase with stuff like opps

[gilded blaze]

show the card's loc_vars

[wild patrol]

        name = '50/50',
        text = {
            '{C:green}#1# in #10#{} chance to get all {C:legendary}Legendary{} {C:attention}Jokers{}',
            'or',
            'Crash the game'
        }
    },```

[gilded blaze]

I asked for loc_vars, not loc_txt

that's not 1 in 10 chance either

you're asking for variable #1 and #10, not the number 1 and 10

[wild patrol]

I already have the chances done I guess I just need to make a proper loc_vars then

I see

well it's sorta working now

        local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'c_ttv_5050')
        return { vars = { numerator, denominator } }
    end,```

can't get the 10 to appear for whatever reason

I fixed it

well now the odds visual update but the odds don't internally update

[pastel kernel]

Is it not SMODS based?

[pastel kernel]

Imagine if you used this with All In Jest enabled

[wild patrol]

well I figured it could help as a balance tarot to help against chat comands plugging jokers

plus the crash screen is funny

    key = '5050',
    set = 'Tarot',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { odds = 10 } },
    loc_txt = {
        name = '50/50',
        text = {
            '{C:green}#1# in #2#{} chance to get all {C:legendary}Legendary{} {C:attention}Jokers{}',
            'or',
            'Crash the game'
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'c_ttv_5050')
        return { vars = { numerator, denominator } }
    end,
    cost = 3,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    hidden = false,
    can_repeat_soul = false,
    atlas = 'CustomConsumables',
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'group_0_f5a4b0f7', 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'c_ttv_5050', true) then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.4,
            func = function()
                play_sound('timpani')
        for _, joker in pairs({ 'j_perkeo', 'j_chicot', 'j_yorick', 'j_triboulet' }) do
            local card = SMODS.add_card({ set = 'Joker', key = joker })
            if #G.jokers.cards >= G.jokers.config.card_limit then
                card:set_edition({ negative = true }, true, true)
            end
        end
                return true
        end
        }))
        else
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        error("Skill Issue Crash")
                    }))
                end
            delay(0.6)
        end,
    can_use = function(self, card)
    return true
    end
}```

any reason why the odds wouldn't update

still uses 1/10 even with like 5 opps making the odds 32/10

[gilded blaze]

#1# in #2# chance

your text was #1# in #10# chance

[wild patrol]

if I put #10# it returns nil?

[gilded blaze]

because it's asking for the 10th variable

you only provide 2

[wild patrol]

i'm not following here

[gilded blaze]

just put #2#

smh

[slim ferry]

#2# gives the second value

[wild patrol]

oh

[slim ferry]

the number is entirely unrelated to the actual number itself

because the number can change which is kind of the whole point of doing it

[gilded blaze]

it's simply the array index of the value you provided in vars

[wild patrol]

ok which is correct #1# in #2# or #1# in #10# that's what's confusing me rn

[slim ferry]

The former

[gilded blaze]

the latter was your choice, which is wrong

[wild patrol]

and shouldn't the denominator be card.ability.extra.odds in SMODS.get_probability_vars

[gilded blaze]

if it's correct in the first place, why are we even correcting it

[wild patrol]

Like the text is working fun it's just the odds are not updating for increasing the odds

like if I put 5 oops and increase the odds to 32/10

it'll do the crash instead of spawning the jokers even tho it's well over odds

[gilded blaze]

what is this:

SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'c_ttv_5050')
and
SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'group_0_f5a4b0f7', 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'c_ttv_5050', true)

the seed keys are not matching

[wild patrol]

so just missing the seed in the first one

[gilded blaze]

make up your mind
it's either c_ttv_5050 or group_0_f5a4b0f7

[wild patrol]

so change c_ttv_5050 in SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'c_ttv_5050') to group_0_f5a4b0f7

or just remove SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'group_0_f5a4b0f7', 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'c_ttv_5050', true)?

[gilded blaze]

why true at the end

it prevents oops from working on this card

also I was wrong there 😭
the seed key is fine, you provided an identifier

it's just true at the end preventing modification by oops tho

[wild patrol]

no sure why the true is there

I guess whatever I was using for reference had it

i'll remove it see what happens

yup that was it

[wary moth]

If I wanted to add to some global value passively while you own a joker, but, I want it to change the amount it adds on certain conditions, how could I guarantee that it works consistently?
For an example, if I had a joker that was:

+1 Hand Size per Rare Joker you own
What would be the best way to do that?

[daring fern]

If you want to guarantee it then you would have to use the update function.

[wary moth]

I tried having a local variable that remembers how it changed hand size on add_to_deck and remove_from_deck, and checked for any changes that it needed to apply and do so on any calculate. But that didn't seem to completely work
There are sometimes when a joker could spawn in that it wouldnt add the value it needed, or, when I duplicated it obviously the value got copied as well

An update function sounds useful though
How do I set that up? Is it a hook onto some method?

[daring fern]

add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
    card.ability.extra.hand_size = 0
    for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if v:is_rarity('Rare') then
            card.ability.extra.hand_size = card.ability.extra.hand_size+1
        end
    end
    G.hand:change_size(card.ability.extra.hand_size)
end,
update = function(self, card, dt)
    local count = 0
    for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if v:is_rarity('Rare') then
            count = count+1
        end
    end
    G.hand:change_size(count-card.ability.extra.hand_size)
    card.ability.extra.hand_size = count
end,
remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
    G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.hand_size)
end

[gilded blaze]

I wouldn't call G.hand:change_size every frame

if count ~= card.ability.extra.hand_size then
    G.hand:change_size(count-card.ability.extra.hand_size)
    card.ability.extra.hand_size = count
end

[daring fern]

Why not?

[gilded blaze]

calling G.hand:change_size(0) most of the time feels redundant

[wary moth]

Ah okay cool, this is more or less what I'm doing, but, I didnt know about the "update" function, i was calling it in "calculate"
Thank you

So is setting the hand_size variable to 0 on add_to_deck enough to not worry about that value getting copied?

[gilded blaze]

hand size modification like this shouldn't be copyable by blueprint

[wary moth]

Yeah not by blueprint, but something like, ankh for example
Or I suppose theres some worry about other mods, like cryptid, "modifying" the value thats not meant to be modified

Like on "double values of joker" effects

[gilded blaze]

ankh adds a new copy, which in turn calls add_to_deck again for the new card

[wary moth]

Yeah got it, I see thats how to get around the value getting copied, thats good to know
thank you

[daring fern]

You would put immutable = true in the joker definition.

[wary moth]

What does that do? I don't see it in the documentation for SMODS.Joker

[daring fern]

Yes, that's for other mods that have value manipulation.

[wary moth]

Ohhhhh gotchaa, alright thank you

[pastel kernel]

how do you make it so that leveling up all poker hands using SMODS.upgrade_poker_hands doesn't feel like a waste of time? (some people might find it terribly slow to wait for all poker hands to finish leveling up)

[gilded blaze]

set instant field to true

that's how Black Hole does it in the first place, replacing the generic level up effect with its custom one

[lusty marten]

How can I create a draggable UIBox like the Ante/Money HUD and which function should I hook to subtract a value every time a hand is played?

[next timber]

how would i make a consumable force discard held cards when used?

[plain apex]

i doubt i could get much help here but i have a boss blind that uses the players microphone if balatro can determine they have one and this mechanic works well but for some people it messes up their audio is there a way i could fix this?

[next timber]

does this not check their mic every single update tick until it finds one

that might not be great

[plain apex]

i mean yeah the goal is that it'll only show up IF it can find your mic

[daring fern]

local thunk = G.hand.config.highlighted_limit
G.hand.config.highlighted_limit = 1e10
for k, v in pairs(G.hand.cards) do
    G.hand:add_to_highlighted(v)
end
G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted(nil, true)
G.hand.config.highlighted_limit = thunk

[plain apex]

and that your mic can pick up audio

is a funny mechanic

[next timber]

ty

[lyric wadi]

joker that gives mult equal to db level

[plain apex]

absolutely possible

[lyric wadi]

can it do pitch detection

singstarlatro

[plain apex]

uh idk i haven't messed with it that much lol

[lyric wadi]

boss blind where it's just a karaoke machine

and if you get below 80 points you lose

the rhythm game part was already made by someone else so with this you can complete the guitarlatro hero mod

[plain apex]

y'all could def try to mess with it but it apparently messes up some peoples audio lol

[pastel kernel]

hey guys

how do you take_ownership again?

[plain apex]

which i would like to find a fix for (it doesn't personally affect my audio but probably not good to have as a bug)

[next timber]

wait there's already a rhythm game blind? damn

my idieas,,

[plain apex]

well heres another blind that is certainly something

How can I create a draggable UIBox like the Ante/Round/Money and which function should I hook to subtract a value every time a hand is played?

[plain apex]

fortlatro really be doing alot here lol

but here have another minigame

[pastel kernel]

how do you make this so that it checks if the counter is a multiple of 100 or somethinglua G.GAME.judgementcounter == 100

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.judgementcounter % 100 == 0

[fading rivet]

this is like basic modular arithmetic 🥀

[pastel kernel]

yeah but i never used it in school ever

so i never learned it fully

[fading rivet]

yes you did 😭

when you started division, did you do stuff like

30 / 4 = 7 Remainder 2

[pastel kernel]

i meant modulus specifically

[slim ferry]

it just gets the remainder

[pastel kernel]

yea i figured

[fading rivet]

modulus is that remainder
you did learn it

[pastel kernel]

i never learned to use it widely though

i just thought it was excess

dawg```lua

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function (self, context)
G.GAME.judgementcounter = 0
if context.using_consumeable and context.card.config.center.key == "c_judgement" then

idk how to get this to "spawn hedera when you use judgement 100 times"

[fading rivet]

your constantly setting the counter to 0

do G.GAME.judgementcounter = G.GAME.judgementcounter or 0

[pastel kernel]

it doesn't work

[hushed stump]

Hi people

I'm looking at the SMODS wiki

And I saw SMODS.PokerHand

modify_display_text caught my attention. This question might be obvious or stupid but does it actually change the poker hand you're going to play, or is it just the text? What would it be useful for if it actually just changes the text and not the poker hand?

If so, is there a method to change the poker hand?

[slim ferry]

just the text

its for stuff like straight flush changing to royal flush in vanilla

there isnt anything for changing to an entirely different hand since this should be handled in said other hand

[hushed stump]

Oh?

I'm trying to make that you can choose the poker hand you'll play if multiple ones are available

[slim ferry]

oh i see

[hushed stump]

I assume I just need to re order the available poker hands table?

[slim ferry]

youll probably need to do a bunch of patching into where poker hands are calculated

[hushed stump]

Maybe, I'm not sure

game.lua?

[slim ferry]

both to get a table of available poker hands for the selection and to actually change the selected hands

[hushed stump]

Getting the table is available in SMODS

[slim ferry]

idk where it is, i imagine G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info is what you should look at

[hushed stump]

However, it might be a "duplicate"/non applicable to the game itself

[slim ferry]

I mean like a table of specifically the hands that can be formed with the currently selected cards

rather than just all hands

[fading rivet]

shove a print statement after each if and tell me which ones print

[true mortar]

is there a way to override eternal incompatabillity

[fading rivet]

how so

like what are you trying to do

[true mortar]

i want to have a joker that applies eternal to other jokers but when appying to a joker like gros michel the sticker is applied but the joker is still sellable

[fading rivet]

hmmm

likely need a hook or patch

[true mortar]

wierd thing is: many other mods with eternal applies (Cryptid, Ortolab) all ignore this

the only joker that does something similar is the translucent joker from cryptid that apllies a custom sticker to a spawned joker

thing is that only works on spawning a joker

[rapid stag]

if G.GAME.applied_stakes['Black'] then or 'if G.GAME.applied_stakes['Black Stake'] then?

[dapper sun]

SMODS.upgrade_poker_hands({
    hands = "High Card",
    parameters = {mult = 69, chips = 420} -- Test Values
})```what am i doing wrong

[fading rivet]

look into them then

[frosty rampart]

parameters just controls which scoring parameters get upgraded, you can't pass numbers like that. it's mostly useless unless you have a mod that adds custom scoring parameters
you should do this instead

SMODS.upgrade_poker_hands {
  hands = "High Card",
  func = function(base, hand, parameter, level_up)
    if parameter == "chips" then
      return 420
    end
    if parameter == "mult" then
      return 69
    end
  end
}

i know that's not the most convenient, maybe i'll add similar functionality to what you originally typed

[dapper sun]

ty

[faint yacht]

-# Should probably also add the * level_up.

[wary moth]

Is there a way to set the reroll price to $0 at any moment?
Like, lets say as a consumable card effect for example

I tried to do something like this looking at the vanilla rework mod and copying what D6 does, but it doesnt seem to work properly

[frosty rampart]

ah true

[frosty rampart]

each return statement should also include * level_up in case something is hooking/overriding the way things level up (e.g. a joker that makes hand level ups twice as powerful)

[dapper sun]

ok

would i also be able to use this to add a second level up after the normal one?

[faint yacht]

Doing the same call, with only defining the "High Card" in hands will do a normal upgrade.

[dapper sun]

?

i mean make it trigger after a normal level up

without it also triggering itself

[faint yacht]

Probably can do that by checking https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions#contextpoker_hand_changed and marking the Joker "used" for a bit.

[dapper sun]

ty

[slim ferry]

This also would set the values rather than increasing

The returned value is what will be the new value for that parameter

[frosty rampart]

fuck right my bad

damn i'm rusty

[faint yacht]

base + stuff

[dapper sun]

ty

[wary moth]

Sorry, I wanna bump this cause I been struggling with this for a while

[frosty dock]

are you looking for the effect of D6 tag where reroll cost starts at 0, or more like chaos the clown which just adds a free reroll?

[frosty rampart]

G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost = 0 will set the next reroll to 0, and then adding G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost_increase = 0 to the effect will make it act like d6 tag

[dapper sun]

nope

apparently level_up is nil

[frosty rampart]

dammit
ok it's not always passed, should be level_up or 1 in that case

[dapper sun]

okay

[frosty rampart]

i'm sorry this function kinda stinks 😭 it made sense to me when i implemented it

[dapper sun]

well it works for what i'm using it for

actually

level_up doesn't work at all

just tested it with an orbital tag

wait nvmd i'm dumb lol

that's on me

[frosty rampart]

phew
glad it's working

[dapper sun]

i'd just misunderstood how the level_up argument works lol

that's all

[wary moth]

I wanted to reset the reroll cost back down to 0$, the next price being 1$
Sort of like a D6 but might not happen at beginning of shop

I just figured out how to do it through trial and error, I had to mix what the vanilla remake does for the D6 tag along with what Meta mentioned

I had to do either this:

G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost = 0
G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost_increase = 0
G.GAME.round_resets.temp_reroll_cost = 0

Or this:

G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost_increase = 0
G.GAME.round_resets.temp_reroll_cost = 0
calculate_reroll_cost(true)

Any other combination of or removing of these lines did not work

ty all for the help!

Can I just watch all the values from a table in a convinient way?

[rapid stag]

bump

[hushed stump]

Also can I patch an SMODS line like this?:

target = 'SMODS\_\src\overrides.lua'
pattern = '''
scoring_hand = poker_hands[v][1]
'''
position = 'at'
payload = '''
scoring_hand = 'Four of a Kind'
'''

[frosty rampart]

for _, v in ipairs(G.GAME.applied_stakes) do
  if SMODS.stake_from_index(v) == "stake_black" then
    -- whatever you need
    break
  end
end

it'll be better to just check for the modifier that the stake applies, if that's possible (e.g. for black stake it's just if G.GAME.modifiers.enable_eternals_in_shop then)

[rapid stag]

that makes sense

[frosty rampart]

agreed, having a table of applied stakes that actually has the names instead of just stake indexes would be very nice

[frosty dock]

you can patch smods but this is the wrong target. you can get the target name from the json file next to a dumped lua file (overrides.lua.json). Here it'd be target = '=[SMODS _ "src/overrides.lua"]', and others are formatted in the same way

[frosty dock]

metatables let you do things like that. you'll have to be a bit more specific about what you want though

[hushed stump]

Alr
I wanted to look at all the available poker hands in an ordered list. If the table contents are rendered as text in the game it would be useful

[frosty dock]

oh ok, that's not what I thought you meant by watch then. no need for metatables there.

you'd want to place a UIBox somewhere and update it whenever poker hand gets evaluated

[hushed stump]

Oh yeah

Usually in other games relying on C++ I just used an ImGui menu

[vale grove]

a while back i tried to make a joker that changed your langauge upon obtaining it but it didnt really work, does anyone know if any new smods versions changed anything?

[hushed stump]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Language you might wanna use this with game assets on joker possession context

look at how the game changes language

[hushed stump]

wait, i can use debugplus's eval

[vale grove]

how do you look at that?

[hushed stump]

open up %appdata%\Balatro\Mods\lovely\dump

there you have the code that runs when the game is started with lovely, SMODS and all mod's lovely patches applied

[frosty dock]

changing language usually entails reloading a bunch of stuff

[vale grove]

im aware

ive tried it before and it fucked up alot of things

but that was back in september

happen to know if anything changed since then

[frosty dock]

i don't think so, reloading item prototypes in the middle of a run still calls for trouble

[hushed stump]

yeah. usually developers, including localthunk, don't let you change language in the middle of a run

[frosty dock]

it should be possible to reload localization without anything else but you'd have to figure that out

[hushed stump]

for this particular reason

[vale grove]

where would i even start with looking into that

[frosty dock]

it's probably not necessary, maybe you can hack something together with saving the run, changing language and then reloading it? that's the way things would normally go if you wanted to change language during a run

[vale grove]

G.SETTINGS.language = 'en-us'
ive found this

but if i remember correctly that didnt work

[frosty dock]

G.FUNCS.change_lang is what gets called when changing language in-game

[primal robin]

Yea that's kind of stuff you want to do

there's no way to implement dynamic loc change because loc_txt exist and other mods exist

[frosty dock]

technically there is a way if you implement localization-only injection, but there's little good reason for that

[primal robin]

I mean everything is possible, just little use for it

[frosty dock]

also i'll just ignore that injection has always been a terrible name for what smods calls it

[vale grove]

using that sadly doesnt work

i feel as thought this might be a little too difficult for me

the only 2 impressive things ive done is allow you to play the daily wordle and fetch someones steam hours

[frosty dock]

might be that it's a UI callback, you'd have to call it like ```lua
G.FUNCS.change_lang({config={ref_table=G.LANGUAGES['en_us']}})

[hushed stump]

i ended up trying to use smods's inspect, but it's not outputting anything

if SMODS.displaying_scoring then
    inspect(G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.play.cards))
end

[frosty dock]

you can just use print, at least with debugplus present

[hushed stump]

alr
what is inspect for then?

[frosty dock]

inspect just produces a string, you'd still have to print it

[hushed stump]

ah

[frosty dock]

but debugplus stringifies tables better than inspect does

[hushed stump]

alr

[teal grotto]

how do you make a joker that makes specific ranks also count as others

[frosty dock]

very carefully

this is a proposed smods feature that is still in review, there's a lot to consider behind something like that

[frosty rampart]

in particular, calculating if a played hand is/contains a straight becomes very complicated

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Somethingcom515/SealsOnJokers/blob/dev/lovely/multirank.toml

[teal grotto]

so...

i'm confused

[frosty rampart]

the code that somethingcom just linked you is a partial implementation of the multirank stuff you wanted, but it's fairly unstable because it expects other mods to check card ranks in a specific way (not a totally unreasonable expectation, but the pattern matching could probably still fail in some cases) and it also doesn't fully support poker hand calculation as far as i'm aware

[teal grotto]

well i'll take it

[daring fern]
