[frosty rampart]

you're doing a retexture mod, right? I would highly suggest just using malverk, it'll handle the replacement work for you
or if you need to change the atlas a card uses, just take ownership of it

above_stake is UI only, in vanilla it's for the vertical positioning next to the deck and with galdur it's used for the menu itself. applied_stakes is gameplay, it affects what other stakes actually have an effect in-game and galdur uses that info to build the stake stack

[near coral]

Alr

[inner terrace]

It's... a bit weirder than that! Though I do actually have some malverk compatibility (if the mod detects malverk installed, instead of loading the retextures like it normally would, it loads them as malverk texturepacks)
All of the retexturing for non-malverk works using take_ownership. This is a specific menu for changing what skin is being used for a card
The popup menu displays the different skins, which is where I'm encountering this issue
It works perfectly if it's only displaying the same kind (all animated or all static) but if it's trying to display both it encounters issues

[silk latch]

so then what do I do with the actual timer logic thing that I moved back to calculate?

    calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if G.SETTINGS.paused then
            return 0
        else
            if blind.effect.extra.timer + (0.1 * (blind.effect.extra.timer_speed * math.min(G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED, 4) / 4) / 3) >= blind.effect.extra.timer_end and not G.GAME.blind.disabled then
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        local any_selected = nil
                        local _cards = {}
                        for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                            _cards[#_cards + 1] = playing_card
                        end
                        for i = 1, 1 do
                            if G.hand.cards[i] then
                                local selected_card, card_index = pseudorandom_element(_cards, 'mannpower_haste2')
                                G.hand:add_to_highlighted(selected_card, true)
                                table.remove(_cards, card_index)
                                any_selected = true
                                play_sound('card1', 1)
                            end
                        end
                        if any_selected then G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted(nil, true) end
                        return true
                    end
                }))
            else
                blind.effect.extra.timer = blind.effect.extra.timer +
                    0.1 * (blind.effect.extra.timer_speed * math.min(G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED, 4) / 4) / 3
            end
        end
    end

so after moving that to behind the SMODS.Blind, it crashes with this.

[inner terrace]

As far as I know, GAME is only active during an actual run and nil otherwise

[near coral]

I changed the applied stakes and above stakes yet nothing changed

[versed swan]

Given a function that takes a seed for pseudorandomness, does the seed have to be a return value of pseudoseed() or can it just be a static value?

i.e. is providing the return value of pseudoseed() needed for proper pseudorandomness, or just redundant?

[faint yacht]

I was referencing this bit of code:

        self.children.back = SMODS.create_sprite(self.T.x, self.T.y, self.T.w, self.T.h, atlas_key, self.params.bypass_back or (self.playing_card and G.GAME[self.back].pos or G.P_CENTERS['b_red'].pos))
        self.children.back.states.hover = self.states.hover
        self.children.back.states.click = self.states.click
        self.children.back.states.drag = self.states.drag
        self.children.back.states.collide.can = false
        self.children.back:set_role({major = self, role_type = 'Glued', draw_major = self})

[silk latch]

So then how tf do I do it

[inner terrace]

Oh, interesting! Maybe I need children.center:set_role?

[faint yacht]

            self.children.center.states.hover = self.states.hover
            self.children.center.states.click = self.states.click
            self.children.center.states.drag = self.states.drag
            self.children.center.states.collide.can = false
            self.children.center:set_role({major = self, role_type = 'Glued', draw_major = self})

[normal crest]

what does your hook look like now

[inner terrace]

Sick, I'm willing to bet role_type = 'Glued' is what I was missing

[normal crest]

local original_update = Game.update
function Game.update(self, dt)
  original_update(self, dt)

  local blind = G.GAME.blind
  if not G.SETTINGS.paused and blind and blind.config.blind.key == 'bl_modprefix_meow' then
    blind.effect.extra.timer = blind.effect.extra.timer + dt

    -- trigger after 10 seconds
    if blind.effect.extra.timer >= 10 then
      -- reset timer to 0
      blind.effect.extra.timer = 0

      -- do your effect that happens every 10 seconds here
      print("meow")
    end
  end
end

SMODS.Blind {
  key = 'meow',
  loc_txt = {
    name = "meow",
    text = { "meow" }
  },
  config = {
    extra = {
      timer = 0
    }
  },
  boss = { min = 1, max = 10 }
}

it's missing checking for whether the blind is disabled or defeated

but you get the idea

[normal crest]

also no, G.GAME always exists, at least after mods are loaded

[inner terrace]

Damn, my bad
I must be thinking of something else

[hardy vessel]

Question about main_start and the like, how would you add a new line to text? (I want the text on a joker to display vertically instead of in one long line)

[fading rivet]

return a table of row elements iirc

with new smods you can switch to using {element:#} though

[silk latch]

in order to hijack another mod's booster (like with Omen Globe), do I have to have a higher priority than it?

[unreal cosmos]

why isnt blinds.lua loading and crashing the game. they are in the same folder

crashes when i hover over a custom blind, and it renders as just a thin line

[idle plaza]

What error is shown when it crahes?

[unreal cosmos]

Oops! The game crashed:

any idea whats causing this

??

@idle plaza do you know what might be causing this

[naive agate]

not sure why but it doesn't give ^2 mult per negative joker

[daring fern]

It should be context.other_joker.edition and context.other_joker.edition.negative

[unreal cosmos]

does anyone know why my blind is crashing the game?

[daring fern]

You still need to check if context.other_joker exists.

[unreal cosmos]

i still cant find a solution to this

for some reason the joker appears as a blank line too

[silk latch]

Did you start counting the values from 0?

[unreal cosmos]

what values

[silk latch]

x and y for the atlas position

[unreal cosmos]

nope

looks like thats why

[silk latch]

yeah the first one is 0, 0

[unreal cosmos]

shoulds blinds.lua be in src or in the main mod folder?

[silk latch]

src, but the atlas is in the main folder

[unreal cosmos]

weird it looks like even the correct positions still bug it out

it looks like half the blind icon

can the atlas be in the assets folder?

it looks like this

[silk latch]

the physical png goes in assets/1x and assets/2x, what does the atlas' code is in the main.lua thing

[unreal cosmos]

34x34 right

[silk latch]

that looks moreso misaligned?

[silk latch]

yeah

weird lol

[unreal cosmos]

hmm but the atlas file itself is alligned

ohh

theres no space between the blinds

[silk latch]

okay yeah that would do it

[unreal cosmos]

anyone have a placeholder blinds spritesheet

[unreal cosmos]

i fixed the spacing still causign the nil crash

it looks like a localization issue

[fringe oxide]

i created a consumable that gives 1.25 mult per joker owned (when the consumable is held), and the game crashes when i play a card

[true jasper]

whats the code

[fringe oxide]

this

like wha

[naive coral]

i think in the togas pack mod theres a consumable that gives 3$ at round end, called glteapot. you could look at that for inspiration

[daring fern]

You're not defining config

[urban wasp]

i'm not sure why the pluralization function from cryptid/spectrallib that i use does not function anymore on steamodded 1606b+. it's tested to work fine on 1503a and presumably below, but i can't get it to work on 1606b or 1620a. what's going on?

[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
dump_lua = true
priority = -2

# right from cryptid
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/misc_functions.lua"
pattern = '''
assembled_string = assembled_string..(type(subpart) == 'string' and subpart or format_ui_value(args.vars[tonumber(subpart[1])]) or 'ERROR')
'''
position = "at"
payload = '''
assembled_string = assembled_string..(type(subpart) == 'string' and subpart or (Chimes.pluralize and Chimes.pluralize(subpart[1], args.vars)) or format_ui_value(args.vars[tonumber(subpart[1])]) or 'ERROR')
'''
match_indent = true

i don't really understand regex much so this is hard to debug for me

oh also by "doesn't work" i mean that pluralization just turns into nil

i'll give an example

c_chm_letter = {
    name = "Letter",
    text = {
        "Remove the {C:dark_edition}Edition#<s>1#{} and {C:enhanced}Enhancement#<s>1#{}",
        "from#< up to>1# {C:attention}#1#{} selected card#<s>1#,",
        "then add#<, a>1# random {C:attention}seal#<s>1#{} to #<each,it>1#"
    }
},

[faint yacht]

Is the patch actually succeeding in applying that change?

[urban wasp]

i mean, it previously worked in 1503a

i'll check if the line exists on 1606b

[faint yacht]

I had to change one of my patches for 1620a specifically.

[urban wasp]

ok so interestingly no

however if the or 'ERROR' is removed, then two exist

[faint yacht]

Tried adding times = 1 to the patch specification?

[urban wasp]

hold on

even weirder, the line just doesn't exist at all (even without the error bit) on steamodded 1503a

which is odd because if i remove the patch then it also doesn't function

i think

hold on

nevermind steamodded just didn't load

(ignore that)

ok after looking through this for a moment, it seems as if the patch targets a line that doesn't exist, and only 2 lines without the or 'ERROR' bit attached exist
however, on 1503a, the pluralization breaks in the same way as seen above if the or 'ERROR' is removed, even though it doesn't seem to exist in lovely/dump/functions/misc_functions.lua... which makes no sense to me

wait interestingly one of them has this attached

ret_string = assembled_string or 'ERROR'

which would make it match

but the same exact bit exists in 1606b

argh this is such a stupid issue

oh my god i'm stupid i forgot the dump would have the end result and not the target

🤦

hopefully there's a solution to this because that area got moved around in 1606b and i'm not sure what to target now

[urban wasp]

is it possible to use SMODS.Back.initial_deck to create duplicates of cards?

i.e. a deck that starts with, say, 2 5s of spades

[daring fern]

No, you would have to use apply for that.

[urban wasp]

could i get an example of how to use that to add cards to my deck? i'm currently using a really weird hook to remove all aces from my deck and then add duplicates of 5s, 4s, 3s, and 2s of every suit to my deck which is technically the effect but i'd like to know how to do it correctly

[faint yacht]

Add an event in the apply that calls SMODS.add_card for the wanted additional cards, with area set to G.deck.

[gilded blaze]

don't forget to update starting deck size for Erosion-like effects

[uneven drift]

This might be a stupid and oddly specific question, but how do you mark cards your joker destroys as destroyed for glass joker canio etc. because my joker is destroying the card but not causing those cards to activate

[gilded blaze]

how are you destroying the cards with your joker

[uneven drift]

if chosenCard.ability.name == 'Glass Card' then
chosenCard:shatter()
return true
else
chosenCard:start_dissolve(nil, not silent, 1, no_juice)

now that I think about it the no_juice is unnecessary but thats besides the point

[gilded blaze]

yea, calling shatter or start_dissolve directly isn't gonna trigger destroy-card-related contexts

[uneven drift]

but eh I liked it spelled out

oh ok

so how do I trigger em

[gilded blaze]

what's the full effect

I need context on that before deciding which way to destroy the card

[uneven drift]

At the start of the blind if selected the joker chooses a card at random, gains chips equal to twice the rank (50 instead if stone, gives 1 gold if gold, and glass plays the shatter sound effect)

and then destroys it

or, y'know, whatever else shatter() does

chooses a card in ur deck, mind ya

my description for the joker was better worded

[gilded blaze]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.setting_blind and not card.getting_sliced then
        local selected_card = pseudorandom_element(G.playing_cards, pseudoseed("seed")
        if selected_card then
            -- do your joker scaling here, before destroying the card
            SMODS.destroy_cards(selected_card)
        end
    end
end

[uneven drift]

oh so you use smods.destroy_cards

[gilded blaze]

because it's not played cards that are destroyed, like Glass destroying itself by chance

[uneven drift]

yeah they arent being played

[gilded blaze]

context.destroy_card doesn't make sense here, that's why we're using SMODS.destroy_cards instead

[daring fern]

initial_deck = {exclude = true, Ranks = {'Ace'}},
apply = function(self, back)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            for k, v in pairs(SMODS.Suits) do
                for kk, vv in pairs({'5', '4', '3', '2'}) do
                    SMODS.add_card({set = 'Base', rank = vv, suit = v.key, area = G.deck})
                end
            end
            G.GAME.starting_deck_size = #G.playing_cards
            return true
        end
    }))
end

[uneven drift]

yup that did it thanks

maybe ill add some other stuff if the destroyed cards have seals, but I gettin eepy

if it destroys a red seal it destroys again

🔪 better not make ur deck only red seals

ya yeet

it is a fun card its the complete opposite of my other one lol

[gilded blaze]

uh, that doesn't make sense

joker retriggers are separate from playing card retriggers

[uneven drift]

hence the maybe, doesnt seem quite fitting

the free dollar is pushing it but, I think it should really only be 1 gag

cuz at that point might aswell change the description to triggers any card based effect on em

[gilded blaze]

makes it a tiny bit stronger without bumping the rarity

cool

[uneven drift]

Maybe, its an uncommon right now tho but it is a more unreliable trading card

but trading card gives money this scales chips

this is my other card btw, im tempted to make it so if jobangles (the destroyer) doesnt select a negative card it rolls again

for jobingles I really wanted to add a hologram/certificate/etc. based legendary joker, cuz we dont have one that adds cards to deck

and also negative cards are silly

[uneven drift]

the game I pulled them from jobangles and jobingles arent counter synergistic though, you just expect them to be synergistic and they arent

[gilded blaze]

negative playing cards are way too broken when talking about vanilla balancing

[uneven drift]

true

it is a really strong legendary

way too strong for base game

if I were to change it, I'd prob change the edition to something else

[gilded blaze]

I added the fixed chance for the same reason
it was 100% at first

[uneven drift]

marble joker gives you an enhancement, certificat gives you a seal, jobingles gives you an edition

(and jokers with editions give x2)

but, eh

Could make it so you get a negative after a big blind

but if u pull a legendary card ante 7 and arent wanting to go to endless, it is no value unless u already got some

which I guess is fair there is that 2x king/queen for abandon deck u can just sell it but

the odds of not having a negative at ante 7 is like, y'know

but eh, this is modded 😛 who needs balance

[gilded blaze]

depends on which way of balancing you want to do for a mod

on a scale of 1 to 10 (vanilla to Cryptid)

mine is 3+2i btw

[uneven drift]

?

3+2i?

[gilded blaze]

3 is the real part, which corresponds to the scale
2i is the imaginary part, which corresponds to unique mechanics my mod has

[uneven drift]

I dont mind havin a couple high roller legendaries, but atleast for commons/uncommons I wanna stay vanilla like

jobangles doesnt seem that bad, and if it feels too scaley ill tone it down

im less likely to tone down jobingles, cuz its a legendary (and also I like the concept of negative cards, as unbalanced as they may be)

I could see myself make jobingles only generate 1 negative card a selection

eh y'know

make that 9 an 8

(I dont know if that changes the number)

I'm gonna try to make jobingles as balanced as it can be considering the circumstance of free negative cards

thats probably my philosophy

[gilded blaze]

replace it with editioned cards

guarantee first card added to be negative, exclude negative for subsequent ones

[uneven drift]

maybe

I'll think about it

but yeah, common/uncommons I wanna try to keep some sort of leash on it.

Legendaries, it depends

I wouldnt want them to be insta win buttons (to be fair, if u get jobingles ante 7, is 3 negative cards gonna win the run guarenteed? probably not lol)

6 might have tho

jobingles def scales tho, if u get him early not only can u build around him with death and stuff but also he'll generate more

but yeah maybe ill make it a random edition / only negative on the first go

Does feel like it compliments certificate adding seals, and marble adding enhancements

anyway, nighty

thanks for the help

❤️

[gilded blaze]

marble is the oddball tho

it only adds stone, rather than a random enhancement

[uneven drift]

True

I guess this legendary is kinda a fusion of those 2 uncommons if I went that path

Kinda anyway

Does the random stuff of cerificate, but doesnt add to hand but throws them in ur deck like marble

It would probably be more fun if its random

More I think bout it more your sellin me

[fathom star]

How can i get the final chip count of a played hand?
like i wanna check if my hand scored greater than a specific variable

[daring fern]

if context.after and SMODS.calculate_round_score() > number

[silent sail]

ive got a fun bug where going back to menu resets a counter and causes very high value gain

[wispy falcon]

It's been a while but I'm back with new motivation to mod! :D

How do I make Sprites/images be on screen and move them without breaking the game? I want to make a slot machine for one of my boss blinds and videos aren't that nice to look at imo. They break the game flow and such

[silent sail]

can someone tell me how id fix this to prevent it still not consuming hand space after the enhancement is remvoed

[gilded blaze]

it's not "+1 hand size", it's "takes 0 slots"
why would it reduce hand size on removal

replace calculate with these fields:

{
    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        card.ability.extra_slots_used = -1

I'm working with attributes and the new weight system, and wanting to increase the weight of objects with specific attributes if they have the given attribute. Checking objects from the pool means they're not cards, though, so I can't use Card:has_attribute. Is there another intended function to use?

Oh, I guess I can literally just check on the card 😅

Thank you :3

[silk latch]

By the way, to hijack another mod's booster (like with Omen Globe), does my mod have to have a higher priority than it?

[fading rivet]

???

use context.create_booster_card or context.modify_booster_card

[daring fern]

No, you would just use context.create_booster_card

[daring fern]

No, it should be card.ability.extra_slots_used = card.ability.extra_slots_used - 1 and card.ability.extra_slots_used = card.ability.extra_slots_used + 1

[gilded blaze]

figures, no idea why I ditched that when editing the message

[fathom star]

Thankssss

[wild patrol]

what do you think would be some fun odds for this

[hushed stump]

Least lucky based card in Balatro

[wild patrol]

you think wheel odds would be funny or 1/2

the tarot is basically broken with oops all 5s

but the mod allows twitch chat to mess with the game so I dunno if that would affect balacning

[hushed stump]

Idk

[fading rivet]

make it fixed

[slate turtle]

fuck

[gilded blaze]

c_luminite doesn't seem to be a valid consumable key
it's missing your mod prefix

should be c_wheeloff_luminite

[slate turtle]

wait maybe i have to try c_wheeloff_luminite

[gilded blaze]

wait nvm

I used wheeloff for some reason

it should be your mod prefix, which is not shown in the crash log

[slate turtle]

omfg

also my custom blind anims are not playing 😭

[slate turtle]

nvm i think i fixed this one myself

[slate turtle]

fixed

[uneven drift]

thank you certificate for having the exact same code im looking for 🔥

Well, not the exact same. But almost

🔥

Hey can someone help me load an editable config, it keeps crashing when I try to call SMODS.load_mod_config()

[glossy plume]

Is there a way, when making a mode, to disable certain base game jokers?

[uneven drift]

After an hour of me being stupid finally got it to work 🔥

@gilded blaze clown NERFED. And maybe more fun? 👀

The first selection is a negative card

[glossy plume]

Saga john

is that like

[uneven drift]

all other selections are random but cant be negative

[glossy plume]

my long lost relative

[uneven drift]

exotic bingles, generates 1 of each

he only does base game editions I dont feel like bingling all the possible balloon animals

jobangles is complete now, got every case where a card could have modified chips

&& also funny gold clause

maybe ill make an achievement if you own both of them at once ~~idk how to do that 😭 ~~

Also, jobingles generates foil cards that jobangles can yeet for more chips
is this, synergy?

I might do a last card destroyed text on the description, so you dont have to search the deck to see what it yeeted

some qol

[frosty dock]

smods loads your config automatically

no need to call that function yourself

[desert wadi]

It doesn't show the config menu when I click on my mod tho

So I can edit it ingame

[uneven drift]

jobangles ate the 5th suit

making the collection card ace of spades like the rest sleep

Im making so many jokers when blind is selected lol

maybe ill think about a skip joker, after im done makin the one im on

if your booster pack does not have artwork variants, you should just use the key of it

is there anything like a "quick restart" that you can do for the game

[timid zinc]

is there a way to redeem a voucher while in blind select or after opening a booster pack? (so, context.type immediate)

[sleek valley]

local card should be using SMODS.create_card instead of just Card

[slate turtle]

local card = SMODS.create_card(G.play.T.x + G.play.T.w/2 - G.CARD_W*1.27/2,

?

[sleek valley]

no, that's on me, i should've been more clear
local card = SMODS.create_card { key = 'p_your_booster_key', area = G.play }

[slate turtle]

SMODS.Tag{
    key = "geode_tag",
    loc_vars = function (self, info_queue, tag)

 this better?

[sleek valley]

much better

[slate turtle]

it still doesnt work tho

im using debugplus

-i get the tag

• blind select
• deposit pack doesnt appear

[inner terrace]

Is it possible to have atlas changes be reflected without reloading - similar to changing config options without reloading? Changing the atlas will cause it to initialize properly next load, but if I try to use take_ownership to apply it after the game is already loaded up, I get an error:

[sleek valley]

Ctrl + m when using debugplus

[inner terrace]

Which is weird because that same atlas key is during initialization no problems, but if I use the mod prefix in front, it instead renders the default "not unlocked" sprite

[sleek valley]

That’s weird, idk what it could be then, cause everything else looks right

[inner terrace]

I mean for changing the skins on the player's end - they can select what skin they want a card to have if there's more than one

The menu I've set up is, surprisingly, working, it just doesn't take effect until a restart

[slate turtle]

the weird part is that wheel of fortune's mod id is wheeloffortune

[sleek valley]

…you mean just a deckskin?? Im confused

[inner terrace]

Nope! This is for jokers, I'll show you:

This is a submenu from clicking on a joker in a custom "additions" menu (it's reskins for vanilla jokers, so there's no additions menu in the config by default)

Clicking either of these means that is the skin that will be used for that joker next time the game restarts. I'm trying to figure out if I can get it to take effect without the restart

[sleek valley]

Ahhh i see
Sadly idk how to help you and im about to go to bed, but i hope someone else can give you the answer

[inner terrace]

No worries! Goodnight!

[uneven drift]

Yapping joker, instead of saying what he actually does says something at random when u select the blind

🔥

I should make blueprint compatible but only to say a message

but eh

[glossy plume]

is there a way to hide the mod name that appears under the rarity?

I'm making a mod with a polaroid camera joker that freezes values on other jokers, and so to do that i have to remake the jokers themselves so i can change them

[frosty rampart]

whenever you take ownership, do it like this:

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership("ancient", {
  -- ...all the ownership code...
}, true)

that true at the end hides the mod badge

[glossy plume]

Alright, thanku

Does there have to be something in the take ownership thingie for it to work? trying with an empty take ownership and a true at the end and it still shows up

[inner terrace]

It may need to be "j_ancient", not just "ancient"

[frosty rampart]

no taking ownership specifically lets you leave out the prefix

[inner terrace]

oh, really?

oh well, I'm not going back to remove all mine haha

[frosty rampart]

you still need a mod prefix, but because you're taking ownership on specifically SMODS.Joker or SMODS.Consumable or whatever, it already knows what type of object you're working with

[inner terrace]

Ohhh, that makes sense

[frosty rampart]

were you doing something different than taking ownership of ancient joker to modify it?

[glossy plume]

Yeah i just remade the entire thing myself cuz i didnt know about take ownership lmao

and then disabled the vanilla one from the joker pool

[inner terrace]

Oh, in that case there's probably a better option, but using the same take_ownership method, it would be like

-- ownership code
}, true)```

[frosty rampart]

no that wouldn't work at all in this case, because the true only controls whether the taking ownership mod replaces the existing badge

[inner terrace]

Ohh

[frosty rampart]

since the remade ancient copy originated from polaroid, it'll always have the polaroid mod badge

[glossy plume]

So if it did take something from the ancient joker, then it would hide it?

[unreal cosmos]

can someone PLEASE help with this ive been having the same issue

[uneven drift]

spent 1 hour making this card and 6 hours making the various lines if u buy jokers, sell jokers, and sell itself 🔥

probably a better mr.bones

but u are sacrificing a hand every turn to keep him around..

anyway, dev talk done 👀

[unreal cosmos]

i dont even know whats causing it anymor

it looks like it cant make the blind popup

ok i fixed it

now im getting this though

[frosty rampart]

show line 22 in blinds.lua, as well as the surrounding context

[unreal cosmos]

calculate = function(self, blind, context)
if not blind.disabled then
if context.stay_flipped and context.to_area == G.hand and
context.other_card.ability.played_this_ante(true) then
return {
stay_flipped = true
}

        end
    end
end,

[frosty rampart]

it should just be context.other_card.ability.played_this_ante, get rid of the (true)

[near coral]

How come I can't give color to the small and tiny blind the same way I can the boss blinds

[silk latch]

okay then wtf was vremade's Omen Globe doing bc I have this

[frosty rampart]

@red flower do you think vanillaremade should switch omen globe to use context.create_booster_card instead of taking ownership of arcana packs? it's a lot simpler

[frosty rampart]

don't take ownership of anything, just give your voucher a calculate function like this

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.create_booster_card and context.booster.config.center.group_key == "k_cry_program_pack" and pseudorandom("developer_console") > 0.8 then
    return { set = "Mannpower", key_append = "ar2" }
  end
end

[silk latch]

oh thank fuck that's way simpler

[frosty rampart]

ya create_booster_card is a lifesaver

[near coral]

_ _

When I set the color the same was as with boss blinds it stays gray

[frosty rampart]

non-boss custom blinds are really jank at the moment
lemme dig into morefluff to see how that does it for bigger blind real quick

[near coral]

Here is the code for them just in case there's something I also had to change but didn't know of

[frosty rampart]

why exactly are the boss_colour lines commented out

[near coral]

Idk I didn't write the code I only changed the hexes

[frosty rampart]

try uncommenting them?

[near coral]

By commented you mean the -- right?

[frosty rampart]

ya

i'm looking at bigger blind and i don't really see any special patches or hooks related to setting the color

so boss_colour should just work for non-boss blinds i think (at least on the blind select screen)

[near coral]

Ok it worked

[frosty rampart]

nice lol

[near coral]

So colorful

(One of them coincidentally happens to be the same color it was)

[hushed stump]

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'Shaco',
    atlas = 'TrickyJoker',
    pos = {
        x = 0,
        y = 0
    },
    rarity = 4,
    cost = 20,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local jokerstable = {}
        local jokerabilities = {}
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            table.insert(jokerstable, G.jokers.cards[i])
        end
        for index, value in ipairs(jokerstable) do
            table.insert(jokerabilities, SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, jokerstable, context))
        end
        return SMODS.merge_effects(jokerstable)
    end,
}

Guys, it's crashing cause it says that it attempted to index config, which is a nil value
That's totally true, I didn't declare config. But that's on purpose, I don't need any config
Why can't I use an empty config (like

config = {
}

)?

[frosty rampart]

ok so the crash isn't because your joker doesn't have a config, i's because you're merging jokerstable instead of jokerabilities in your return
but i don't think you need jokerstable in the first place. literally just do
table.insert(jokerabilities, SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[i], context)) in the first for loop

[hushed stump]

oh yeah, my bad
also i just noticed that i'm passing the whole table to SMODS.blueprint_effect instead of an index of the table

[frosty rampart]

yea, the second thing i suggested would fix that too

[hushed stump]

but why is it crashing on config instead tho?

msg = string: "[SMODS _ \"src/utils.lua\"]:2216: attempt to index field 'config' (a nil value)"

This was the crash

[frosty rampart]

it's probably from the passing the whole table to blueprint_effect. it's expecting a single joker so it presumably checks that joker's config for something. a whole table of jokers does not have a config field

[hushed stump]

oh

yeah, that would explain it

[red flower]

makes sense

[hushed stump]

btw card is my current joker in this case, right?

cause i'm getting a crash on the insert function

[frosty rampart]

oh wait it's backwards, my bad
should be SMODS.blueprint_effect(G.jokers.cards[i], card, context)
card in a joker's calculate function is always that joker that's calculating

[hushed stump]

i tried to avoid inserting the joker's own ability by doing this:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local jokerabilities = {}
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if (G.jokers.cards[i] ~= card) then
            table.insert(jokerabilities, SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[i], context))
            end
        end
        return SMODS.merge_effects(jokersabilities)
    end,

[hushed stump]

wait wha

[frosty rampart]

wait no some of the documentation is just bad?

idk

you were right the first time

what's the new crash

[hushed stump]

but in vanillaremade the blueprint implementation is the other way around

[hushed stump]

hold on

[frosty rampart]

ohh right
blueprint_effect might not return anything at all
it should be this i think

local copy_effect = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[i], context)
if copy_effect then
  table.insert(jokerabilities, copy_effect)
end

[hushed stump]

declaring if as it is, is the same as if the variable isn't nil, right?

in this case

[frosty rampart]

yep

[hushed stump]

if copy_effect
is the same as
if copy_effect ~= nil

[hushed stump]

alr

why wouldn't it return anything tho?

[frosty rampart]

well technically not quite, but for this purpose yea that's correct

[hushed stump]

ah

[frosty rampart]

if the card being copied isn't blueprint-compatible

[hushed stump]

ah f

[frosty rampart]

(to elaborate on this: if x then is more accurately the same as if x ~= nil and x ~= false then, but blueprint_effect won't ever return false)

[hushed stump]

and is such a weird operator imo

in lua, of course

i literally had to search it up

and took some time to understand it

alr so now it's not crashing, but it's not doing anything either

[frosty rampart]

oh wait you probably have to unpack the table
so return SMODS.merge_effects(unpack(jokerabilities))
it takes the effect tables themselves as separate arguments

that should hopefully be it lol

[hushed stump]

okay
in the wiki it says:
SMODS.merge_effects(...) -> table
Takes any number of 2D arrays. Flattens given calculation returns into one, utilising extra tables.
This can be used to merge returns from SMODS.blueprint_effect
any... number?

[frosty rampart]

yea it can take any amount of arguments, lua is cool like that
if you put ... as the arguments in the function definition, you can refer to {...} as a table of all the arguments

so it needs to be separate arguments, not one single table of all the effects

that's what the unpack function does

[hushed stump]

still nothing tho
maybe my table is empty rn?

can't i check my own code values somehow? a debugger of some kind?

[frosty rampart]

if you have the DebugPlus mod installed, it'll put a console in-game, and you can just have print("something") in your code and it'll pop up in the console

put print(#jokerabilities) after the loop to see if it's actually getting blueprint effects

[hushed stump]

what's the # for?

[frosty rampart]

#some_table is the number of elements in some_table

[hushed stump]

most readable function

[hushed stump]

ah

[red flower]

it doesnt

it takes tables of effect tables

[frosty rampart]

bleh

ok don't unpack

my bad

[red flower]

i get confused every time i use it and i wrote it lmao

[hushed stump]

no worries

alr that worked but

why am i seeing the table printing all the time

ik, i printed it on purpose but

shouldn't it only print once it needs to calculate?

[red flower]

well calculate is called a lot

like when you select a card

[frosty rampart]

or whenever you hover over a card that has a probability (like bloodstone)

and it's called a bunch of times during the main scoring loop

[hushed stump]

interesting

i'm now having a bit of an issue, which is totally expected.
if blueprint copies my joker, and my joker copies blueprint, and i have an extra joker, abilities of that extra joker are triggered 5 times instead of 3
that's expectable tho, i need to force it not to copy the abilities of blueprint only if blueprint is copying him
same for brainstorm

[urban wasp]

is there any way to make it so that the cards added to the deck can't be seen? it currently seems like they kinda flip on top of the deck

[uneven drift]

How would I go about making a joker thats unable to show up in the shop (I wanna make a joker that can only spawn from another one when conditions are met--kinda like gros michel/cavindish but you dont gotta find the cavindish equivilant in the shop)

is there a variable in SMODS.joker I can set?

[urban wasp]

in_pool = function()
    return false

cool, thanks

[urban wasp]

how would i go about correctly making it such that if 4 aces are destroyed in one round, my deck will unlock? i thought my implementation used to work but i guess not now that i've tested it.

local original_card_remove = Card.remove
function Card:remove()
    if self:get_id() == 14 then
        if not G.GAME.bof_wooden_destroyed then
            G.GAME.bof_wooden_destroyed = 0
        end
        G.GAME.bof_wooden_destroyed = G.GAME.bof_wooden_destroyed + 1
        if G.GAME.bof_wooden_destroyed >= 4 then
            for k, deck in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
                if deck.key == "b_bof_l_wooden" and deck.check_for_unlock then
                    local unlocked = deck:check_for_unlock()
                    if unlocked then
                        G.GAME.bof_wooden_destroyed = 0
                    end
                    break
                end
            end
        end
    end
    return original_card_remove(self)
end

...

local original_end_round = end_round
function end_round()
    G.GAME.bof_wooden_destroyed = 0
    return original_end_round()
end

in the deck:

check_for_unlock = function(self)
    if G.GAME and G.GAME.bof_wooden_destroyed and G.GAME.bof_wooden_destroyed >= 4 then
        return true
    end
    return false
end,

Been smashing my head against this. Why is it still copying blueprint?

[urban wasp]

i'm not sure if i've seen "label" before

try making the string the key and then making it check for G.jokers.cards[i].key ~=

[hushed stump]

I've printed all G.jokers.cards[i].label values, and it gave me Blueprint, j_Planetarian_Shaco, and Jolly Joker, which were what I expected

[urban wasp]

oh nevermind then

[hushed stump]

still gonna try key

they're all nil

center_key is different tho

i get j_blueprint, j_Planetarian_Shaco

[urban wasp]

ok that's good

[hushed stump]

idk about jolly joker, didn't bother to check him

[urban wasp]

should just be j_jolly

try doing everything you did in your code using this

[hushed stump]

alr
nothing works now! great

[urban wasp]

damn

:(

[hushed stump]

oh, it's inside another table i think

it's copying, but it's the same thing

copying blueprint, even tho i specified it not to

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'Shaco',
    atlas = 'TrickyJoker',
    pos = {
        x = 0,
        y = 0
    },
    rarity = 4,
    cost = 20,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local jokerabilities = {}
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if (G.jokers.cards[i].config.center_key ~= j_blueprint) and (G.jokers.cards[i].config.center_key ~= j_brainstorm) and (G.jokers.cards[i].config.center_key ~= j_Planetarian_Shaco) then
                local copy_effect = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[i], context)
                if copy_effect then
                    table.insert(jokerabilities, copy_effect)
                    print("Copied effect of", G.jokers.cards[i].config.center_key)
                end
            end
        end
        return SMODS.merge_effects(jokerabilities)
    end
}

INFO - [G] Copied effect of j_jolly
INFO - [G] Copied effect of j_jolly
INFO - [G] Copied effect of j_blueprint
INFO - [G] Copied effect of j_jolly
INFO - [G] Copied effect of j_jolly
INFO - [G] Copied effect of j_blueprint

This is what I get out of it, stupidly

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand

i'm comparing to a non existing string, yaaaay

"j_blueprint"

gosh

of course it would always return true since it's not nil

[uneven drift]

is there a way to make a custom joker debuff immune?

[daring fern]

if context.debuff_card and context.debuff_card == card then
    return {prevent_debuff = true}
end

[uneven drift]

thank ya

[hushed stump]

how do I check my own joker ability?

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'Shaco',
    atlas = 'TrickyJoker',
    pos = {
        x = 0,
        y = 0
    },
    rarity = 4,
    cost = 20,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local jokerabilities = {}
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do  
            local copy_effect = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[i], context)
                if copy_effect then
                    table.insert(jokerabilities, copy_effect)
                end
        end
        return SMODS.merge_effects(jokerabilities)
    end
}

I wanted to check if copy_effect was the same as my own joker, so it doesn't get added to the jokerabilities table

this prevents copying blueprint and brainstorm when they're copying my Shaco joker, and prevents my own joker from copying itself

[gilded blaze]

{
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local jokerabilities = {}
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if G.jokers.cards[i].config.center_key ~= "j_modprefix_Shaco" then
                local copy_effect = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[i], context)
                if copy_effect then
                    table.insert(jokerabilities, copy_effect)
                end
            end
        end
        return SMODS.merge_effects(jokerabilities)
    end
}

[hushed stump]

this will only prevent my joker from copying itself

as i don't want to check the current joker, rather the ability

i tried to do it by indexing the current jokers and do it based on positions

however

this becomes unpractical if the user has multiple blueprints

[gilded blaze]

there, changed to using joker key

[hushed stump]

still the same thing
if the center_key is blueprint it will copy the ability
and i don't want blueprint to not be copied, only i don't want it to be copied when it's copying my own joker. so if blueprint is copying one joker, i would trigger that ability 4 times instead of 3. the copied joker would be 1 time, blueprint would be 2, and my joker would be 3 and 4 since it's copying blueprint and that joker at the same time

for example

earlier i was determinating the position of shaco joker, and if it the blueprint position was that position - 1 it wouldn't insert into the table, but it was a mess

[gilded blaze]

drives me nuts

[hushed stump]

there must be a field from card or G.jokers.cards[i] which holds what a joker does, right?
then i could compare it if it's the same as copy_effect, so i don't insert that into the table

[gilded blaze]

you can't

it's an identical table

not the same reference

[hushed stump]

wait

you just gave me an idea then

i could create a temporary variable which holds the table of SMODS.blueprint_effect with Shaco, then compare it to copy_effect, as the tables would be identical

right?

[gilded blaze]

identical here means 2 tables with the same key and value

the 2 tables themselves are not the same, only the same keys and values

[daring fern]

Put blueprint_compat = false in the joker definition.

[hushed stump]

oh fuck

[hushed stump]

i thought of that
however i want blueprint and brainstorm to be able to copy my joker

just not the other way around, but only if they're copying my joker

basically i should only copy brainstorm and blueprint if they're copying another joker which isn't Shaco

[hushed stump]

(don't we have something to check what are brainstorm and blueprint copying???)

[daring fern]

You would have to check manually.

[hushed stump]

that's not a problem
but where should i check?

[daring fern]

If Blueprint is to the left of your joker and if your joker is in the first slot and the joker is Brainstorm

[hushed stump]

yes, but i would need to do this for every blueprint

[gilded blaze]

manual check here means excluding the exact target joker of blueprint and brainstorm

if G.jokers.cards[i].config.center_key == "j_blueprint" and G.jokers.cards[i+1] and G.jokers.cards[i+1].config.center_key ~= "j_modprefix_Shaco" then
end
if G.jokers.cards[i].config.center_key == "j_brainstorm" and G.jokers.cards[1].config.center_key ~= "j_modprefix_Shaco" then
end

[hushed stump]

good idea

i'll try it

[gilded blaze]

this is the only viable way tho

[hushed stump]

yeah, otherwise it becomes a mess

[gilded blaze]

also it breaks if another mod takes ownership of blueprint/brainstorm by modifying the targets

[hushed stump]

yeah. i expect this

[gilded blaze]

luckily, there doesn't seem to be any mod that does it

[daring fern]

No, that wouldn't work for Blueprints copying a Blueprint that is copying your joker.

[gilded blaze]

ouch

I forgor 💀

blueprint stack is a thing

[hushed stump]

right

fuck, now i remember why i wanted to check the ability

[gilded blaze]

wait

you can craft your own function for comparing each key and value of 2 tables

[hushed stump]

yeah

but

comparing an entire table isn't the same as comparing each one of its values?

[gilded blaze]

oh

if context.blueprint_copiers_stack and context.blueprint_copiers_stack[#context.blueprint_copiers_stack] ~= card then
end

[hushed stump]

WHAT

where was this

[gilded blaze]

from SMODS.blueprint_effect

[hushed stump]

alr

let's see

[gilded blaze]

wait hold on

I'm not sure if we're supposed to get the first or the last element of context.blueprint_copiers_stack

try both if you can

[hushed stump]

ah, okay

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local jokerabilities = {}
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do  
            if context.blueprint_copiers_stack and context.blueprint_copiers_stack[#context.blueprint_copiers_stack] ~= card then
            local copy_effect = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[i], context)
                if copy_effect then
                    table.insert(jokerabilities, copy_effect)
                end
            end
        end
        return SMODS.merge_effects(jokerabilities)
    end

like that?

[gilded blaze]

uh, use the first element instead

[hushed stump]

okay?

[gilded blaze]

if context.blueprint_copiers_stack and context.blueprint_copiers_stack[1] ~= card then
end

honestly I'm getting spun around at this point

[frosty dock]

what if it's blueprint copying your joker copying blueprint copying your joker?

I think you need to check if your joker is anywhere in the stack?

[hushed stump]

my joker shouldn't be able to copy blueprint if it's copying my joker

[hushed stump]

that would be nice

[gilded blaze]

function table.contains(table, element)
    for k, v in pairs(table) do
        if v == element then return true end
    end
end
if context.blueprint_copiers_stack and not table.contains(context.blueprint_copiers_stack, card) then
end

[hushed stump]

i was about to write that but without a function

[gilded blaze]

it's a helper function actually

Ortalab makes it a global, my mod appends it to tableLib instead

you might wanna use it elsewhere too, it's pretty common

[hushed stump]

probably

now something quite "funny" is happening

blueprint and brainstorm are copying the ability of my joker correctly

but my joker itself isn't doing anything???

[gilded blaze]

ah crap

I forgor

Shaco is a blueprint-like joker
of course it must at least appear once in the stack

alrighty then

[hushed stump]

yeah but it's not like we're removing it from the stack or anything

[gilded blaze]

if context.blueprint_copiers_stack then
    for ii, vv in ipairs(context.blueprint_copiers_stack) do
        if ii ~= 1 and vv ~= card then
            --do stuff
        end
    end
end

[hushed stump]

how's that even possible
copying an ability that a joker doesn't even have

[gilded blaze]

if Shaco is the first joker in the stack, proceed
otherwise don't

there, better?

[hushed stump]

hold on while i test it

wait but does SMODS.blueprint_effect modify a table by itself, or does it only return a value?

[gilded blaze]

it returns a new identical table

[hushed stump]

ah

[gilded blaze]

basically the table it manages to grab as one of the return values of Card.calculate_joker

[hushed stump]

it triggered brainstorm 3 times and shaco and blueprint weren't even triggered

my jokers are ordered like this

[gilded blaze]

wait, I'm confused

which joker is the first in blueprint stack then

😵

[hushed stump]

let me check

it's nil?

[gilded blaze]

how are you accessing context then

[hushed stump]

via calculate

[gilded blaze]

what did you type in the console

[hushed stump]

eval calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local jokerabilities = {}
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do  
        if context.blueprint_copiers_stack then
print(context.blueprint_copiers_stack)
        for ii, vv in ipairs(context.blueprint_copiers_stack) do
print(vv)
print(ii)
        if ii ~= 1 and vv ~= card then
            local copy_effect = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[i], context)
                if copy_effect then
                    table.insert(jokerabilities, copy_effect)
                end
            end
        end
        end
        end
            
        return SMODS.merge_effects(jokerabilities)
    end

i'll do it from code even if it's laggy

[gilded blaze]

smh

you're defining global calculate

it has nothing to do with context we're talking about

which is from SMODS.blueprint_effect

[hushed stump]

oh

doing it from code actually gave me the right context

also it wouldn't work because context.blueprint_copiers_stack seems to have the label of the joker it's copying

so if a blueprint is copying another blueprint which is copying my joker, the label would be "Blueprint" instead of "j_Planetarian_Shaco", making the table different

[uneven drift]

reee cant get this to work, but im too sleepy to fix it

tomorrow another day

[hushed stump]

i'm thinking of adding a custom identification to my joker

so this way

if this argument gets passed into the table (assuming the entire table gets copied), i can identify it and thus not copying it

[uneven drift]

update: I fixed it

[hushed stump]

cool

[uneven drift]

the bane of my existance, using ' ' when I needed to use " "

wait..nevermind

dont think I fixed it lol

not really sure why it worked that time

wait

im stupid

I put the same joker with 2 identical pngs to debug, gave me the one I was testing on.

thats why it "worked"

lol

but I think I found the error cuz im a dumbass that forgot to give the joker pos variable

...nevermind

im not sure how that didn't break the joker before

but it did not fix my issue 🎊

now ima pass out

[hushed stump]

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

it's 6 AM

and i couldn't solve it

there must be a way of identifying my joker on the stack

i won't give up tho

i'll go to sleep but i'll keep on this tomorrow

[fading rivet]

iirc the context didn't exist at the time

[silent sail]

can someone tell me why the "Nope!" text doesnt appear, i took it from vremade and it isnt working

[silent sail]

yo i just tried this and it does absolutley nothing

[sly heron]

What is that mean?!😢😢😢😢

[dreamy lodge]

So I was making a blind and im slightly confused, for some reason this effect is delayed to the start of the next played hand? I'm trying to make it update after the hand is played but its not working.. I also tried final_scoring_step but that did the same thing

[frosty dock]

you should use a blind_size return instead of changing blind size manually

[fading rivet]

what are you trying to do?

like whats the effect description

[fading rivet]

ooh

neat

[daring fern]

if context.after and G.GAME.chips+SMODS.calculate_round_score() < G.GAME.blind.chips then
    return {blindsize = SMODS.calculate_round_score()/2}
end

[fading rivet]

correct me if I'm wrong, but I belive G.GAME.chips isn't the amount scored that hand

[frosty dock]

yeah it's SMODS.calculate_round_score()

[dreamy lodge]

I just tried that and it didnt do nuthin

[frosty dock]

what's yer smods version

[dreamy lodge]

1.0.0~BETA-1503a-STEAMODDED

[frosty dock]

yeah that would be why

you should update

[dreamy lodge]

ill go update rq then

Okay cool it works now thanks

I sometimes forget updating is a thing that I need to do

I'm struggling to understand shaders. Can someone help me understand it more?

[midnight coyote]

is fileInfo.name just not a thing anymore

[midnight coyote]

GLSL shader language is really difficult, theres some good books out there if interested

its like C but more specific and less documented

theres a website too

called the book of shaders (?) entirely free tutorial to GLSL, but be prepared to grit your teeth and get through it

[slate turtle]

good news: my mods tag works now yay

bad news:

[midnight coyote]

can I see line 68 of your code

in that file

what it looks like is that you're trying to reference card when card does not currently exist at that point

[slate turtle]

yep

            end
        end
    end
}```

[midnight coyote]

on line 24 you are referencing a non existent card

i would do it like this

  for k,card in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
    -- bla bla bla, replace i with k
  end

[slate turtle]

i just used the tooth template from vanillareforged and added the if card:is_face(true) then

[midnight coyote]

alright, but still. card is not defined as anything here

[slate turtle]

oh

[midnight coyote]

you could say if G.play.cards[i]:is_face() then

also putting true in the is_face function is not needed

if its a face card then is_face() would read as

if true then
if not then it would read as
if false then

hopefully that helped

[slate turtle]

now theres another problem
it just removes 2$ if theres a face card in the hand rather than remove 2$ for every individual face

[wispy falcon]

I'm going to try my best, thank you <_>

[midnight coyote]

is it in the loop

                        return true
                    end
                end
                }))
            end
        end
    end
}``` 
i think so

[hushed stump]

yeyy

i think i did it

for blueprints now

[daring fern]

calculate = function(self, blind, context)
    if not blind.disabled then
        if context.individual and context.other_card:is_face() then
            return {dollars = -2}
        end
    end
end

[hushed stump]

okay so i didn't

[bold eagle]

how do I iterate through the played hand?

within a joker's calculate

nevermind

[bold eagle]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before then
            for _, pcard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if pcard.get_id() >= 11 and pcard.get_id() <= 13 then
                    local newRank = pseudorandom(G.GAME.round_resets.ante,2,10)
                    local rankChange = (pcard.get_id - newRank) * -1
                    SMODS.modify_rank(pcard, rankChange)
                end
            end
        end
    end

[slim ferry]

pcard:get_id() instead of pcard.get_id()

[bold eagle]

ok cool thanks

[slim ferry]

and also that in the place where you calculate the rank change

[bold eagle]

ok

[mystic river]

is there an easy way to move the location of a sticker or am i gonna have to figure out how drawsteps work

"but minty drawsteps are easy" that's just, like, your opinion man

[gilded blaze]

what, you want your sticker to allow normal shader effects of the card on top of it rather than below?

[mystic river]

i literally just want to move the image of the sticker up
so it sticks above the card

(it's kity ears)

idk anything about shader effects

[frosty rampart]

look into how paperclips in paperback display i think? i'm pretty sure they move the location of the sticker so they can hang out of the regular bounds, and they're definitely just fancy stickers under the hood

[gilded blaze]

probably by utilizing alignment_offset

it's a Moveable thing actually, the Sprite class is extended from Moveable after all

[bold eagle]

is there a context for after cards are scored but before jokers are? I cant really find any

[hushed stump]

@frosty dock in the blueprint copying stack, do we have some way of identifying the final joker it's copying if it's chained?

[frosty dock]

wdym?

[hushed stump]

let's say i have three blueprints copying a jolly joker

isn't there a way to know that they're all copying jolly joker

instead of two copying blueprint and one copying jolly joker

[frosty rampart]

nope, sorry

[bold eagle]

ok, thank you

[frosty dock]

whenever a non-copying joker is being calculated, everything on the blueprint stack is directly or indirectly copying that joker

[hushed stump]

exactly, that's the point
don't we have a way of identifying what is indirectly copying?

since it's "chained"

[frosty dock]

yeah, the first entry is copying the second entry is copying the third entry etc. is copying the joker directly

the stack is the copy chain

[hushed stump]

yeah but it has quite a lot of info under that table

.label isn't useful here since it would return "Blueprint"

[frosty dock]

isn't it just an array of cards?

[hushed stump]

i would need to iterate through all cards, and get... what?

[frosty dock]

well what do you need out of the cards...?

[hushed stump]

the last copied joker

[frosty dock]

that's not on the stack, that's the card currently being calculated

[uneven drift]

I'm trying to use card:set_ability to transition a joker into another one of my jokers, but im getting "could not find center" error message and I can't for the life of me figure out why

[frosty dock]

the stack contains the copiers

[hushed stump]

oh so it isn't that useful here

[frosty dock]

did you forget your mod prefix?

[hushed stump]

huh

[frosty rampart]

what is your goal exactly

[uneven drift]

sometimes its the stupid things

[frosty rampart]

if you're doing a blueprint effect to copy a card, you already have that card. it's the first card you passed into the blueprint effect function lol

nvm i keep typing before my brain catches up

[frosty dock]

if you're trying to get to the end of the chain from the start of it, that's a different problem

[hushed stump]

I have a joker that copies abilities from all of my jokers
However, I want to not copy himself (which is easy), but i also not want to copy blueprints that are directly, or indirectly copying my joker in a chain

This joker is called Shaco

[hushed stump]

okay

yes

that's the idea

but why is it a problem

[frosty dock]

oh in that case it absolutely isn't

you just check if card is on the blueprint stack yet

[uneven drift]

yup that worked thank you, stupid me 👍

[frosty dock]

if it is, it is copying something that is directly or indirectly copying your joker

by blocking that effect, you're solving the problem at the end of the chain

[hushed stump]

ah alr
can i use

table.contains(context_blueprint_stack[#], card)

?

table.contains is a custom function but

[frosty dock]

remove [#]

if you've defined that function, that works

[hushed stump]

alr

[hushed stump]

that fkn worked, ty

now i need to solve brainstorm
does it use the same stack?

nvm, it already works. hilarious

it's really strong. i always wanted a legendary like this

[hushed stump]

should it be able to copy a duplicate of it (like if I had two or more shaco jokers)?
maybe that's a bit op

[sly heron]

bump

[frosty dock]

looks like malformed shader code

[uneven drift]

how do you change the cost of a jokers sell value?

sorry if dumb question 😭

could probably just look at how egg does it

[uneven drift]

I got it fam lets goo

🔥

[past spade]

how does one check if the blind defeated for calc_dollar_bonus is a boss?

[daring fern]

if G.GAME.blind.boss

[viscid talon]

just remembered i fucking hate localisation 😭

i keep getting "ERROR" which makes me think i fucked up somewhere on the localisation fetching thing

ive got the localisation file right here

the prefix for this mod is hatchl

[frosty rampart]

anywhere specific you're getting ERROR? stuff like custom rarities have extra places to localize for the badges

[viscid talon]

all of the additions ive added so far are getting errors

lemme specify in a sec

firstly, the enhancements

[keen totem]

how would you get a list of all scored cards (as compared to all played cards with G.play.cards)

[viscid talon]

i believe that info is stored in a table

i dont know though

[viscid talon]

the enhancements return with "ERROR" which means the localisation is wrong

ill probably make a repo to show this off a little further

[frosty rampart]

yea if i could see the code myself that'd help a lot

[viscid talon]

https://github.com/cosmeggo/hatchet-lite @frosty rampart

oh you've got to be fucking kidding me

it was a spelling error 😭

[frosty rampart]

oh yea i just noticed it too

gotta be the american way to spell the localization folder

[viscid talon]

anyways it looks like theres no actual errors with my localisation, i just dont know american

[frosty rampart]

sounds like i need to make an smods pr

[viscid talon]

so i wasnt dumb all along

ok why are my jokers not localising????

everything else works but the jokers return with ERROR

oh i wrote jokers not joker

buh

what do i do abt the Xnil ?

no shot i didnt do a loc vars

im so stupid

anyways i think ive got it from here! thank you c:

nvm

how do i make a joker recognise when a poker hand is being levelled up and responding accurately

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            if G.GAME.level_up == true then
                card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips - card.ability.extra.chips_sub
                return {
                    message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips_minus', vars = { card.ability.extra.chips_sub } },
                    colour = G.C.CHIPS
                }
            else
                return {
                    chips = card.ability.extra.chips
                }
            end
        end
    end```

idk if G.GAME.level_up == true is an actual thing i lowk just made it up

ik this joker is missing a dissolve, ill be adding it later

apparently theres smth called upgrade_poker_hands

@frosty rampart im duuuumb idk what im doiiiing 🥺

the actual concept behind the joker works fine i just dont know what line of code is used for "if joker sees a poker hand upgrade, it loses 50 chips"

[frosty rampart]

good news! new context from 1501a has you covered

[viscid talon]

woooo

wait is my mod on 1501a

lemme see

"Steamodded (>=1.0.0~BETA-1606b)"

thats over 1501a right

yeah i think so

[frosty rampart]

yea if the number is bigger then it works

[viscid talon]

lol

i think ik how to fix that

[dapper sun]

how do i change the shop rate of my custom center object, like how playing cards have G.GAME.playing_card_rate?

[viscid talon]

ok now ive broken something else else

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.poker_hand_changed == true then
            card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips - card.ability.extra.chips_sub
            return {
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips_minus', vars = { card.ability.extra.chips_sub } },
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            }
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips
            }
        end
        if card.ability.extra.chips <= 0 then
            SMODS.destroy_cards(card, nil, nil, true)
            return {
                message = localize('k_extinct_ex'),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            }
        end
    end```

if card.ability.extra.chips <= 0 then crashes the game oe

ok it looks like ive fixed it

i just had to steal the ice cream code and change a few things around

[unreal cosmos]

how do i increase the winning ante?

[bold eagle]

How do I make a card have a modded enhancement in SMODS.add_card

A specific not random one

[frosty rampart]

"m_modprefix_enhancement", where "modprefix" is the prefix of the relevant mod and "enhancement" is the key of the enhancement

[tulip pecan]

Is there a way to make joker display use SMODS.get_probability_vars() instead of (G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1) for probability numerators? I'm hooking SMODS.get_probability_vars() for a special effect, but it's not reflected on the joker display.

[bold eagle]

i just put that under set?

so set = m_modprefix_enhancement?

[faint yacht]

SMODS.add_card({ set = 'Playing Card', enhancement = 'm_modprefix_key' }) iirc.

[bold eagle]

oh ok

thank you

[frosty rampart]

You should probably update jokerdisplay, I don't think it does that
also why are you hooking that function instead of using the contexts exactly

[unreal cosmos]

how do you make a stake after gold stake?

[frosty rampart]

SMODS.Stake {
  ...
  prefix_config = { applied_stakes = false, above_stake = false },
  applied_stakes = { "stake_gold" },
  above_stake = "stake_gold",
  ...
}

[bold eagle]

is there a way to check if you're currently playing in a blind in the calculate function of a joker?

[unreal cosmos]

ah, you ad above_stake

[frosty rampart]

applied_stakes is what applies the effect, above_stake is what make it visually appear on top of/after gold stake in the UI

[frosty rampart]

what's the actual, exact timing you want

[bold eagle]

ok so

im trying to make a joker that makes 4 enhanced cards when its sold in a blind

[tulip pecan]

I'm hooking it because I'm making all probabilities always occur, so I'm checking if a condition is met and setting the numerator to the denominator (i.e. 2 in 2 or 7 in 7), and I don't want something like an oops all 6's in a slot after it showing the doubled value because I think that 8 in 4 looks really messy

but yeah I do see now that updated joker display does use the SMODS function

[unreal cosmos]

also how do you make one below white stake?

[frosty rampart]

just use context.set_probability, it overrides everything that context.mod_probability does

[frosty rampart]

you have to take ownership of white stake and make it apply + be above your new stake

[frosty rampart]

check if G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND, that's the state the game is in while idle in the middle of a round (and you can't sell a joker while cards are being drawn or played, so that's the only state during a round that the sell event could happen)

[bold eagle]

and that can just be put in the calculate function and its chill?

[frosty rampart]

as long as you keep it within context.selling_self, yea

[bold eagle]

cool

thank you

[frosty rampart]

no problem

[tulip pecan]

like this?

[bold eagle]

wait nevermind i did something stupid

[frosty rampart]

ah fuck my bad, it's fix_probability

[silk latch]

The seal I'm testing has

        calculate = function(self, card, context)
            if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
                SMODS.scale_card(card, {
                    ref_table = card.ability.extra,
                    ref_value = 'mult',
                    scalar_value = 'change',
                    message_colour = G.C.ATTENTION
                })
                return {
                    mult = card.ability.extra.mult
                }
            end
        end,

which seems to be crashing this but I don't know why exactly?
Am I supposed to have the Seal use scale_card on self instead?

[faint yacht]

...if that's increasing perma-mult, you shouldn't be using scale_card, actually - that's for scaling Jokers and such. https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Perma-bonuses

[silk latch]

So I changed it to this (other_card was also crashing it) and I now have this crash

[daring fern]

It should just be card

[faint yacht]

...and card.ability instead of self.config in loc_vars.

[daring fern]

No, it should be card.ability.seal

[faint yacht]

...that too.

[uneven drift]

mfw joker bugged

if (context.debuff_card and context.debuff_card == card) or (context.joker_type_destroyed and context.card == card) and not context.blueprint_card then
card:set_ability("j_kdi_Kerry_rage")
end
my problem is, I only want card:set_ability to occur if it gets debuffed. The problem is context.debuff_card is called to determine if its getting debuffed

its proccing on asking the question not proccing off the answer

I guess I could have just done a conditional if it is debuff == true

[red flower]

you can probably just use update and check for card.debuff
there are too many ways of debuffing a card

also a debuffed card won't calculate

[uneven drift]

Yeah, thats why I was doing context.debuff_card to begin with

[red flower]

yeah but even if that was the context for when a card is debuffed it won't reach that because debuffed cards don't calculate

remove_from_deck might also work for what you want? it's called both on destruction and debuffing

[uneven drift]

Yeah ill show u the joker

[gilded blaze]

x2.5 Mult

[uneven drift]

Basically hes a weaker michel/caven (+15, x3 -> +10, x2.5) but has utility in not being debuffed, not needing to be bought, and also can proc destroy effects (like cere dagger)

and an easier/more reliable trigger then just rolling a 1/6

[red flower]

yeah remove_from_deck will work good enough for the transformation
you would still need joker_type_destroyed to prevent destruction

remove_from_deck is a function separate from calculate if that's not clear

[gilded blaze]

no I mean
X2.5 Mult x2.5 Mult

[uneven drift]

oh

yeah lol

See thats an easy fix

[uneven drift]

Hes angy

[near coral]

Is it possible to give unlimited hand or discards

Or do you just set the number of hands to the max amount

[uneven drift]

progress

maybe it would be better to just "remove" the card, and then add enraged kerry. As opposed to using ability

kinda like how that looks more then just ability tbh

has a nice transition to it

btw it worked

🎊

even made sure to keep edition type consistant

I could also have the stickers be retained, but I kinda like it being cleansed in a gameplay sense

[silk latch]

Meanwhile my progress looks like the vague idea of my Haste Blind kinda working maybe if I tweak it or something idk.

[uneven drift]

lol

When in doubt, you typo'd a variable

while making the editions carry over

I had an editionType variable, but I was putting editonType in SMODS.add_card

[uneven drift]

Not sure what mercenary I should do next

(making references to another game)

Maybe gold bot, gain gold when you skip a blind

gold bot gives 1d6 in goot, might be too much in this game tho

tho I mean there is that 25 gold one, in 3 blinds thats 8.3 gold assuming u skip small

want to make a blind skipping joker to make up for the fact I made 3 around selecting them

[uneven drift]

easy peasy

if you have oops all 6's you roll with advantage

🔥

The best part about petyr is I have to retroactively make sell quotes for him

he just doesnt stop yapping

[queen crescent]

add that as a fine print
because no one ever reads the fine print

[uneven drift]

(If you are lucky it rolls with advantage) 🔥

[queen crescent]

-# specify advantage too

[hushed stump]

You can always force it to a certain amount

For example, if the amount of available hands is 1, you change it to be 2

[keen totem]

what does card.suit actually return if a card is wild?

[fading rivet]

I dont remember that being a thing

[faint yacht]

card.base.suit is the actual suit.

[fading rivet]

what are you trying to accomplish

[keen totem]

i just mean whenever you check a card's suit, what do wild cards return

[fading rivet]

their suit

wild cards still have a suit

[faint yacht]

Wild cards just say yes when the card is asked about being a specific suit, regardless of its' actual suit.

[keen totem]

how can i get if a card has the wildcard effect?

[frosty dock]

if SMODS.has_any_suit(card) then

unless you care about specifically the wild card enhancement, in which case check card.config.center_key == 'm_wild'

[keen totem]

is there a way to get all "suits" on a card?

cause theres stuff like wild cards and smeared joker

[hushed stump]

Probably the same way you get editions from a card

[frosty dock]

no get_suits function exists as of yet, but you can do this

local suit_map = {}
for suit,_ in pairs(SMODS.Suits) do
  if card:is_suit(suit) then
    suit_map[suit] = true
  end
end

though a function for this will at some point be added to smods

[keen totem]

alright thank you

[hushed stump]

(I just forgot the difference between editions and enhancements)

[frosty dock]

-# probably alongside everything else that's waiting for quantum ranks

[hushed stump]

Can he use SMODS.smeared_check

?

[frosty dock]

why would you want to use that directly?

it's called in Card:is_suit when appropriate

[hushed stump]

Ah

[silk latch]

No it's moreso trying to get forced timer discards to work

[keen totem]

for compatibility with any effect like wild card or smeared joker

[silk latch]

Also this is the seal that this code is for lol (don't feel like grabbing an in-game image of it because I'm not at my PC and I'd have to disable Cryptid bc it has a special texture with Cryptid that makes the counter say "CRYPTD")

[silk latch]

(Dramatization)

And the version for if Cryptid is installed.

[silk latch]

Because currently it also discards all selected cards and, more importantly, doesn't properly reset your selections, which means you wind up keeping your initial hand lol

Might try and use the "discarding selected cards" thing for Agility, but Haste probably should stay as just discarding non-selected cards.

Which would probably just require using a seperate table for Haste's selections than the highlighted cards (which is what The Hook uses) and changing for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do into something like for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) and ~ipairs(G.hand.highlighted) do (or however that would actually look), but I don't know how that would affect the if any_selected then G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted(nil, true) thing from The Hook

[wild patrol]

TF2 x Balatro cross over should be a thing

why is heavy not a friends of jimbo skin

[silk latch]

Truth nuke

[inland vessel]

how would I change the color associated with Diamonds? Like when Ancient Joker has selected Diamonds, the text is orange, and when it selects Spades the text is dark purple or black or something. Where do I change those colors? And the color of the rows in the menu you get when you hover over your deck mid-round?

[wispy falcon]

You can look at Vanilla Remade. It shows how every joker etc. would be done in Steammodded

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/28e79eed79f76a9aff40cfb8070da28cad55a481/src/jokers.lua#L2793

[frosty dock]

that's mildly unhelpful relating to changing the colors

[wispy falcon]

Oh, my bad

[frosty dock]

the simplest way to do this is tying it to a SMODS.DeckSkin, in which case you just have to define colour on it

doing it outside of deck skins is thus problematic because it conflicts with the color changing when the deck skin does

[inland vessel]

is deck skin the High Contrast setting?

[frosty rampart]

no, it's the friends of jimbo thing

[inland vessel]

can deck skins change the color of non-face cards??

[frosty dock]

you can change the color per palette (high/low contrast etc., also allows for other custom options) and change the sprites of all cards of the suit, not just faces

[bold eagle]

SMODS.add_card({ set = 'Joker', legendary = true })

Im trying to make a joker that creates a random legendary when sold but this didn't work for the joker spawning bit

it just spawned a random joker, not a legendary

[mystic river]

huh, that seems like it should work

[hidden notch]

Do you maybe already have all legendary jokers? Because then it just gives jimbo x3
Or did it really just spawn a normal random joker (that's not jimbo)?

[bold eagle]

It just spawned a normal random joker

i even tried putting rarity = 'Legendary'

[hidden notch]

I have no idea 🤷‍♀️
I don't think it would be a Version issue, but.. What SMODS-Version are you using?

• Any other Mods active besides yours? ^^

[bold eagle]

1531

i do have some

ill try disabling them

Balatro is tweaking

In general not modwise

I gotta restart stuff

[hidden notch]

Alright x3
If there's still a problem, go install the newest SMODS release, maybe that also fixes it for ya' ^^
-# 1606 does mention "Consistency changes to SMODS.create_card by @Aurelius7309"

[bold eagle]

ok

[frosty dock]

1531 is bugged in a multitude of ways, including that it turns The Soul into judgement if you have object weights enabled

which is exactly the issue at hand^^

[hidden notch]

Ah well, that would do it

[hidden notch]

Alrighty, this sounds REALLY easy, but alas I'm here now
I have an open Question/Challenge for y'all:

Joker-Text:

X2 Chips for every 5 scoring cards
(Currently 0/5)

Base Code:```lua
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
card.ability.extra.count = card.ability.extra.count + 1
if card.ability.extra.count >= card.ability.extra.every then
card.ability.extra.count = 0;
return { xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips, colour = G.C.CHIPS }
end
end

I want this to be Blueprint compatible, but I only want the "card.ability.extra.count" to count up once per scoring card.

Reply Ping if you think you've got a working solution x3
-# The Main Goal is really just a Blueprint Compat.: "counting scoring cards and doing something every Xth scoring card"

[frosty rampart]

context.blueprint is true if it's currently being calculated as a blueprint effect, and false if the joker itself is calculating
so incrementing the count (and only that line) should be wrapped in a check for if not context.blueprint then

[shell timber]

what if the blueprints check before?

[hidden notch]

Exactly that

[shell timber]

what i would do is like store the last scored card in a variable

and if the card is the same dont increment it

also you dont need a colour for the xchips return

[frosty rampart]

wait no
what if you just count all the scoring cards in context.before

[hidden notch]

It has to work with an Setup like this and also work with Retriggers

[shell timber]

retriggers?

[frosty rampart]

bleh

[shell timber]

actually this would break with retriggers too

[hidden notch]

-# I know, I'm just too used to adding it

[shell timber]

fair

[wanton jolt]

are there other ways to apply stickers than card:add_sticker

card.ability.stickerkey = true right

[frosty rampart]

that only sometimes works, because sometimes stickers do more than just setting that value to true (e.g. perishable sets a timer as well)
SMODS.Stickers.stickerkey:apply(card, true) should work too potentially

oooo let me try that

Also for for simplicity's sake, a full Joker-Example:

[bold eagle]

so it should be fine on other versions?

[wanton jolt]

apply the xchips in joker main?

[bold eagle]

sweet it works perfectly now

That would not help for the main Goal of: "Do something every Xth scoring card"

[wanton jolt]

uhhh maybe wrap the extra count inside a if not context.blueprint then like meta said?

If you follow the convo. a bit more; That wouldn't work for jokers that trigger before the "Counting Joker" x3

[wanton jolt]

counting joker?

[hidden notch]

If you look at this: Blueprint wouldn't trigger the "X2 Chips", the "Counting Joker" or Main Joker WOULD give "X2 Chips", Brainstorm too.

ok let me give this a spin

im waiting for revo to reply to me so

[hidden notch]

Mind you, I have tried a LOT of different things, I'm giving this simple example so someone else has some thinking room x3

[bold eagle]

how would I make a joker only appear as eternal and negative
