[brittle yacht]

what kind of .toml is it

[frosty rampart]

it's literally just a file you create with the .toml extension
and it's just plaintext, you can edit it in notepad or whatever

[brittle yacht]

or is it like items where it dsoesnt matter what name is

[frosty bone]

is there any way to code a consumable that gives +4 mult when a hand is played

[frosty rampart]

if you have just the single file at the root of your mod, it needs to be lovely.toml, but if you have a lovely folder in your mod, then you can name it whatever you want

[red flower]

while held or after use?

[brittle yacht]

kk

[frosty bone]

when held

[red flower]

just code it like a joker

[frosty rampart]

^ you can just give the consumable a calculate function

[frosty bone]

but i also want it to give money when used

[frosty rampart]

you can give it both a calculate function and a use function

[red flower]

it can have both calculate and use

[frosty rampart]

you need this block at the top of the file (from the link i sent you)

[brittle yacht]

oh ight

[keen totem]

is the '+X extra chips' on bonus card or perma chips possible to recreate with a modded enhancement

[frosty bone]

OK, im so used to jokerforge that lua seems off

[keen totem]

because those two stack their description to include both values

and im unsure if you can do that with a modded enhancement

[hearty lagoon]

Im trying to make a seal that when held in hand at the end of the round, it copies its playing card. I have the cloning part working however i cant get the message to pop up nor jokers like hologram to upgarde or mime to retrigger

you shouldn't be trying to manually load the toml file, the mod loading process will take care of it automatically

[naive coral]

how do i make a card not move when clicked/selected

[brittle yacht]

still isnt putting in the custom cards into the cutscene thingy

[frosty rampart]

you shouldn't have edited the pattern, only the payload

[brittle yacht]

ooooh

[frosty rampart]

the pattern is the original code the patch is searching for, and the payload is the replacement code (or inserted code depending on what the position is set to)

[brittle yacht]

that makes sense

thank you very much

i gotta start putting some of you into the credits

it is fixed now

thank you very much

custom edition is e_modprefix_editionname

right

[red flower]

ye

[lament agate]

thanks

mwah

[frosty bone]

what am i doing wrong?

[frosty rampart]

more jokerforge issues i think? try deleting the line that's just })) after the end of the calculate function

[viscid talon]

i think this file might work

@frosty bone

assume that every single "if" statement will need a corresponding "end"

as of the three brackets, delete those. its likely a generation error

[frosty bone]

Thx

[primal robin]

2 days left, you decease mod better be ready

[tidal hemlock]

what do i need to fix for the text to appear above

yes im keeping the vremade defined in fear of it breaking something

[white zinc]

i've been going insane trying to make a joker that essentially treats stone cards as not part of your hand size (e.g. having 2 stone cards in your hand would let you draw 2 more cards). i'm probably overlooking some really easy solution to this but i'm actually at a bit of a loss for how this would be done logically in terms of contexts and how/when you'd draw cards. "draw_card(G.deck,G.hand, 90,'up', nil)" would let you draw a card from your deck, but you'd need to loop this for the amount of stone cards in your deck. what if you then drew another stone card?

[frosty bone]

[dawn knoll]

How do I make it to where a joker makes cards with a specific enhancement to act as any suit?

[lament agate]

what check should i write to detect if an Ante is changing

[silk latch]

This isn't working help

[frosty rampart]

hook the card:is_suit function

[frosty rampart]

context.ante_change
(and additionally checking for context.ante_end means you only get ante changes if they're from beating the last blind of an ante and moving onto the next one)

[lament agate]

thank you

context.main isn't a thing, did you mean context.joker_main?

[silk latch]

oh.

Alright, revisiting this after a while.

This snippet has where the function from engine/controller.lua is modified, but when I open the game, the Settings automatically open and all key presses are doubled.

[tidal hemlock]

[glass scaffold]

@daring fern There's nothing here that'd make it double the inputs, right?

[daring fern]

It seems so, are you sure this is the function that's causing the problem?

[glass scaffold]

I'm certain, because removing this part fully fixes the issue.

This Joker's MaxSpeed value isn't working right.
Like at all.

[lament agate]

calculate = function(self, card, context)

        if context.individual
        and context.cardarea == G.play then

            if context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") then

                context.other_card.debuff = true
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            local tmult = 0

                if playing_card.debuff == true and playing_card:is_suit("Hearts") then

any ideas on why the code doesnt count my debuffed cards

as in it doesnt output the mult

[red flower]

is_suit("Hearts", true) to count debuffed iirc

[dawn knoll]

how do i get a joker to add money to a card with a specific enhancement when played

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Perma-bonuses

[glass scaffold]

Is it possible to modify the Lucky Card enhancement when a certain Joker is held?
(Only the enhancement, not the odds in the entire game.)

[wanton jolt]

what do you mean by modify

[glass scaffold]

Change the odds to be guaranteed.

[wanton jolt]

it is possible im sure without even hooking or taking ownership

[daring fern]

if context.mod_probability and (context.identifier == 'lucky_mult' or context.identifier == 'lucky_money') then
    return {numerator = context.denominator}
end

[wanton jolt]

there it is

[glass scaffold]

[gilded blaze]

what are you trying to do

Yeah

Bless that worked, thank you !!!

[naive coral]

how can i make a joker not move up and down when clicked on, just staying in place.

[daring fern]

You would have to patch CardArea:align_cards

[naive coral]

are there any example in mods you can think of? would just making it perma pinned be easier do you think

[forest cobalt]

is there a way to make a joker make a card draw face down

tryna make a joker called redacted files

but i cant get the face down cards to work

oh shit i just deleted my code for the joker whoops

[dapper sun]

do you mean when you highlight the card?

[naive coral]

when you click a card and it goes up and down

[dapper sun]

i'd just hook Card:highlight to return early under certain conditions

[naive coral]

hook very scary tho

[dapper sun]

imagine a hook like this

replacing the function with what you want

and you grab the old function beforehand so you can control when the normal function behaviour is run

like

local old_func = func
function func(card)
    -- only run normal code if condition is met
    if card.area ~= G.jokers then
        old_func(card) -- the function's existing behaviour
    end
end```

[daring fern]

No, they said they wanted the card to still be able to be selected but not move.

[dapper sun]

ohhh

[forest cobalt]

ARGHHHHHHHHH I Hate Coding!

[dapper sun]

i'd still recommend learning hooks though, even if you don't need them right now

if the function usually returns a value, return the old_func

[forest cobalt]

im going batshit insane

[daring fern]

if context.stay_flipped and context.to_area == G.hand and condition then
    return {stay_flipped = true}
end

[forest cobalt]

Ok thx ill try to incoorporate thsi into msomtcoemdnikolb!

[forest cobalt]

it worked, Thank you Somethingcom515 {Seals On Every}

[hearty lagoon]

bump

[gilded blaze]

use context.playing_card_end_of_round instead

[hearty lagoon]

it works now, thanks!

[keen totem]

how often is "in_pool" recalculated?

[red flower]

it is called directly when something is checking if it is in the pool, like when get_current_pool is called in create_card

[keen totem]

technically could I make in_pool include a chance to return true, otherwise return false

obviously you can just use object weights

which is easier

and less stupid

[silk latch]

And then there's the issue of it seemingly not actually scoring properly at all?

[gilded blaze]

you were not the first btw

and this existed long before object weights were introduced

[silk latch]

and the loc_vars not changing the nil values to say "Recalibrating..."

[gilded blaze]

loc_vars only gets called every time the description pops up, not every frame

[silk latch]

yeah, but it still doesn't even show up in the description

y'know, when it gets called

[brazen rock]

how would i make a seal retrigger a card a certain amount of times?

[faint yacht]

if context.repetition then return { repetitions = 420 } end

[brazen rock]

thanks

[vital jewel]

Managed to sort this out, theoretically, would it be possible for cards with one of the new suits(lets say roses) to gave an ability (probably xmult or retriggers)where it scales depending on the amount of cards with a matching suit in played hand or held in hand

Kinda like an enhancement

[red flower]

not directly, but you can use SMODS.current_mod.calculate to replicate that

[vital jewel]

How so?

[red flower]

have you wrote something with a calculate function before

[vital jewel]

No not really

Just got into this hobby

[red flower]

i would recommend making a joker first to familiarize yourself with that
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua

then you would do a similar thing but using SMODS.current_mod.calculate

[vital jewel]

Ok then cool

Thanks!!

[sturdy compass]

If you want a video tutorial that goes over Calculate I have this here. The same exact principles apply to Mod Calculate https://youtu.be/1yWK09pzo0U

[vital jewel]

Huge thanks too🫶

[viscid talon]

how do you make a crossmod joker i forgot

[wanton jolt]

@viscid talon make sure the mod is installed

you can have multiple ways to do it

i do it two different ways on feli's jokeria

[viscid talon]

ah ok

[wanton jolt]

check modules/inscryption/jokers/deathcards.lua

and my main.lua

[viscid talon]

im currently following smth toga sent me and im a bit confused

oke

[wanton jolt]

dont take my function to check if a mod exists because i think theres one called next(SMODS.find_mod(""))

[median rose]

How would I get a list of jokers in the joker slots along with the current cards the player has in their hands

[primal robin]

Does SMODS.Back have generate_UI?

Same for SMODS.Stake

[glossy sky]

how would I remove an owned joker without destroying it?

[viscid talon]

its ok i think i figured it out

yippee first crossmod c:

[red flower]

can you explain the goal

[glossy sky]

I have a use button on a joker and want the joker to disappear after use, without calling smods.destroy_cards

[red flower]

G.jokers.cards
G.hand.cards

[red flower]

why not

[glossy sky]

the Joker creates an item that can create the used Joker afterwards, and since the mod has a Joker that scales each time a Joker is destroyed, you can just infinitely swap back and forth

[red flower]

does it use joker_type_destroyed

[glossy sky]

yeah

[red flower]

i think card:remove() is the only thing that bypasses that

[glossy sky]

yeah that works. thanks!

[tidal hemlock]

how i fix this

[flint spindle]

I'm trying to make the Standard tag give multiple booster packs, but it's creating both of these booster packs at the same time and it causes some very weird stuff to happen. How do I make it so the game doesn't create the 2nd booster pack until the first one goes away, or is there an easier way to create booster packs than this?

[red flower]

not really

you would need to wait for the booster to be closed to open another one and thats a bit of a pain

[flint spindle]

dang

alright i gotta get busy then

thx

how do I change the number of cards shown / number of cards to be selected in a booster pack?

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/0827#new-modifiers

[median rose]

I'm trying to get the cards within the play area when a round first starts after the cards flying from the deck animation. I tried hooking to new_round. But the number of cards is always 0.

local new_round_ref =  new_round
function new_round()
    local ret = new_round_ref()
    -- print the amount of cards the player has in their hand
    print("Number of cards in hand " .. #G.hand.cards)
    return ret
end

I assume that function was calling before the hand was set, so I tried something similar with draw_from_deck_to_hand, but I don't see any of the print statements in the log.

local draw_from_deck_to_hand_ref = draw_from_deck_to_hand
function draw_from_deck_to_hand()
    -- Do something before the original code
    print("draw_from_deck_to_hand before")
    local ret = draw_from_deck_to_hand_ref()
    -- Do something after the original code
    print("draw_from_deck_to_hand after")
    -- print the amount of cards the player has in their hand
    print("Number of cards in hand " .. #G.hand.cards)
    return ret
end

What function should I be looking for in this context? Also I realized the animation to get the cards does not appear when you are loading a save into a round. Would I need to hook a separate function for that?

[wintry solar]

what's the aim?

[median rose]

I want to be able to print out all of the cards I have in my hand. So Ace of Clubs, 9 of Diamonds, 8 of hearts, etc.

I want to be able to check whenever the "state" of said hand changes. Whether that be from playing a hand, using justice on a card, doing a new run

[red flower]

try the first one in an event, like

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        print(#G.hand.cards)                
        return true
    end
}))

but honestly if you want constantly check for state you might as well do it in Game:update

[median rose]

Would update be too much if I want to check for multiple things such as jokers (including editions), hand levels, # of times each hand was played, money?

[red flower]

no, the game itself does it for some cards

vanilla has less reason to do it than you lmao

i has to check for the source of effects like that for https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1503867059698794588 but there's just too many ways to change things
the other way without update would be metatables imo

[median rose]

Sorry, for the boatload of follow up questions, but where exactly am I supposed to put this? I'm looking through the wiki https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager for events. And while I do see the condition property, I feel like using it gives me the same problem I am looking for now, which is checking when the hand cards length is greater than 0.

I can try to put this in update, but I would need to make sure that the user is in a game, and is in a round. Otherwise, I expect I will crash (like I did when I put this code inside my main file.) I don't mean for you to give me the answer, I'm just very noobish at this language and code

[red flower]

i meant in new_round

[median rose]

ohhhhh

[red flower]

you can also try

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        if next(G.hand.cards) then
          print(#G.hand.cards)                
          return true
        end
    end
}))

to explicitly wait until the hand has something but i think just an event might work

[median rose]

I tried doing this with small variations, but regardless of what the delay is, it seems to be printing immediately as 0

local new_round_ref =  new_round
function new_round()
    local ret = new_round_ref()
    -- print the amount of cards the player has in their hand
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = "after",
        delay = 10, 
        func = function()
            print(#G.hand.cards)
            return true
        end,
        blocking = false
    }))
    return ret
end

The closest I got was this version in which it printed 1 pressuambly bc 0 is a falsey value. If it's the same as JS

local new_round_ref =  new_round
function new_round()
    local ret = new_round_ref()
    -- print the amount of cards the player has in their hand
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            if next(G.hand.cards) then
                print(#G.hand.cards)                
            return true
            end
        end,
        blocking = false
    }))
    return ret
end

[red flower]

0 is truthy

but it makes sense because next(G.hand.cards) would be true if there's 1 card

i didnt expect it to run one at the time tho lol

i would try an event in G.FUNCS.draw_from_deck_to_hand then, like smods does for context.hand_drawn or if you are using the smods api then just check for that context

[brittle yacht]

do you think i could set the payload to a pool so it picks a random joker?

[daring fern]

No, you would have to get a pseudorandom_element from G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker

[frosty rampart]

the pseudorandom stuff that balatro provides doesn't actually work properly outside of an actual game, because it needs a seed. i think that's the case in the vortex intro too
but yea you can set up the payload to just manually pick a random joker using math.random or whateverr

[frosty rampart]

they specifically want a subset of jokers (probably ones from their own mod)

[brittle yacht]

no

vanilla jokers

theres specfic ones that arent already in a vanilla pool

[frosty rampart]

ah oki

[brittle yacht]

so what do i do

im confuzzled

[median rose]

I did some digging and I think certificate does what I want. It seems to add the new card after the animation is done. I'm not going to send the entire calculate function since it's large, but the part I'm sending is what I think I need.

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.first_hand_drawn then
            pressumably this is where I would put the print statement
            print(#G.hand.cards)
        end

I'm not sure what you mean by the api calls. I'm aware of the documentation https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation, but I'm not sure how use them for functions in this context.

oop

hello

[frosty rampart]

that patch will give you any joker that is modded

if you have a specific set of jokers in mind, just put all the strings in the jokers table instead of doing the for loop

[daring fern]

No, it gives any joker that is not modded.

[frosty rampart]

right my bad

but yea my point still stands

[brittle yacht]

v.key is the pool i want, right? or do i need to insert all of the specific jokers i want

[frosty rampart]

you need to insert all of the specific jokers you want
so instead of the loop and the first line of the payload that somethingcom gave you, you'd just have this

local jokers = {
  "j_smiley",
  ... -- whatever other joker keys you want
}

and then the last two lines of the payload can stay

[tidal hemlock]

bump
this happens when i hover over deck during a round

[brittle yacht]

ok yes it works

thank you very much

[red flower]

mods have a global calculate function so it would be something like

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
  if context.first_hand_drawn then
    print(#G.hand.cards)
  end
end

[median rose]

so even though this isn't a joker, I still want to use calculate?

[red flower]

yeah

thats what i did for playlog at least

https://github.com/nh6574/PlayLog/blob/main/src/logging.lua

[median rose]

and I theoretically want to use this function for all of the state data I want to grab mentioned before here #💻・modding-dev message ?

[red flower]

do you want to grab the data every time something changes? if so there are some things that can't be done with contexts

[median rose]

yes

[red flower]

i would use update then lol

[median rose]

and what would that function look like?

[timid zinc]

is there a way to make the boss blind not change the background or music?

[red flower]

ModGlobal = { cards_in_hand = 0 }

local game_update_ref = Game.update
function Game:update(...)
    if G.hand and G.hand.cards and ModGlobal.cards_in_hand ~= #G.hand.cards then
        print(#G.hand.cards)
        ModGlobal.cards_in_hand = #G.hand.cards
    end
    return game_update_ref(self, ...)
end

or something like that, checking for specific changes would be a bit more involved

if you have a specific list of what you want to check you might be able to find a function to hook for each tho

combining that with the calculate function

[median rose]

I do have a list. I'll send it as a file in order not bloat the channel.

Consumables means if they're used in the context of an ongoing round. Not like when you open a booster pack

[red flower]

ah if you want to check for the specific cards then it's a lot easier

in would recommend you check the link for my mod i sent earlier since it does all of that

[median rose]

Yes, the only reason why I mentioned money before was for jokers like bootstraps or shwashbuckler

since that affects their scoring value

Ok, thank you, I will check it out later. My brain is fried

[red flower]

sending a screenshot for context, you can probably check were i find each of these in the code

[brittle yacht]

anybody know the sprite size for cardsleeves

[red flower]

same as a joker iirx

No, it's 73x95

[gaunt folio]

trying to make this trigger per negative joker owned much like baseball card does, how can i make this work? doesnt currently work.

[brittle yacht]

oh ok

[gaunt folio]

i do need help

[wind steppe]

you’re looking at the joker’s center instead of the joker itself. try context.other_joker.edition.key

(the center is like the base definition for all instances of that joker, so it won’t have things specific to one copy of a joker like editions)

[gaunt folio]

nope

[wind steppe]

oh wait yeah

[gaunt folio]

its meant to act like how baseball card does btw

[wind steppe]

make sure the edition exists before getting its key

editionless cards have nil there

[daring fern]

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

[tidal hemlock]

ok so what happens when i have to bump this 3 times

[gaunt folio]

ok got it

[wind steppe]

unless vanillaremade is out of date i don’t think editions have that?

[flint spindle]

I'm trying to modify the standard tag to open multiple booster packs, but if I just duplicate the booster pack code (or duplicate it under an add_event function), it opens all the packs at the same time and weird stuff happens. Is there an easier way to create booster packs, or how do I stop the next pack from opening until the previous one finishes? (should mention that I'm building this off of the standard tag from VanillaRemade)

[red flower]

they have

i just like checking the key more

[wind steppe]

i’d make the standard tag set a flag, then patch/hook the pack closing code to check for the flag: if it’s set, open another pack and unset it

i don’t know where that code is unfortunately so i can’t help with that

[primal robin]

Well, preparing this kind of UI was a bit of challenge ngl

or maybe I not supposed to do all of that because back is center and I can just throw it into generate_card_ui isnt it

[tidal hemlock]

this has something to do with colors (specifically the color of vortexes) but idk how to fix it

nvm keep_base_colours = true was what was causing the problem

[red flower]

thats what i did for playlog

[primal robin]

It doesnt work tho

Holy shit

Am I wizard or smth

[red flower]

oh right

[primal robin]

I stole some code from Galdur to make my life a liiiiitle bit easier xd

I was planning to extract detailed tooltips from rendered text but Eremel used solution with just checking parsed string

Is info_queue works for decks btw?

By that I mean info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.b_back, does it displays deck properly?

[slate turtle]

how do i implement a custom rarity

[red flower]

i think eremel is working on that for gladur in smods but i dont think so rn

[red flower]

is there anything in particular you want to know?

[slate turtle]

ijust want the template for adding in a rarity

like how to define it

oh and also how to give said rarity to a joker

hello

[red flower]

ah sadly nobody has made a repository with all the vanilla objects recreated..

(check vanillaremade)

[red flower]

rarity = "modprefix_key"

[forest cobalt]

poop

[primal robin]

Peak decks development

a lot of stuff to do still!

[flint spindle]

is there a way I can see a giant list of all the context.types for tags?

[red flower]

eval
immediate
new_blind_choice
voucher_add
tag_add
round_start_bonus
store_joker_create
shop_start
store_joker_modify
shop_final_pass

i will add them to vanillaremade while im at it

[flint spindle]

is there any way to use one of the weirder non-tag contexts with tags? (Specifically context.ending_booster)

[daring fern]

Yes, you would have to use SMODS.current_mod.calculate and activate the tags manually.

[flint spindle]

Is there a similar way to that here when resuming a run from the main menu in this code? There's no context, so idk if it would be different

[tulip pecan]

Does anybody know what Drawstep order JokerDisplay uses for their information boxes?

[maiden phoenix]

They don't use drawsteps I think

@red flower

[red flower]

it's pure UI

it's attached to the joker so they get drawn when their children get drawn

[tulip pecan]

gotcha

[red flower]

may i know why youre asking

[tulip pecan]

I want to put a button at the bottom of a card while it's selected, and order -30 was putting it behind JokerDisplay

i got around it by doing order = (JokerDisplay and 9999 or -30) to show it on top, but i wasn't sure if there was a better way

I figured since you can always see joker display even when the card wasn't selected, putting the button on top would be fine when it's selected

[rigid solar]

In Pokermon, in Smeargle's loc_vars , there's this piece of code to add a tooltip about the Joker that's being copied. Can anyone explain to me how that works in the end? There's a bug I'm trying to fix where variables in the card's name aren't being included

[red flower]

i don't think this should be necessary in the newest smods

[rigid solar]

which part

just name or all of it implying there's a simpler way

[red flower]

hmm no i see what it's doing

[rigid solar]

copy is the card being copied btw, not smeargle itself, kinda confusing by just looking at this code

[red flower]

try adding vars = new_config too

and be in the newest smods dev

basically "name_text" didn't accept vars until recently, smods got around that by making tooltip names use "name" (and it also adds styling)

but adding a tooltip without the center bypasses that i think

[red flower]

or maybe it should be vars = other_vars.vars im not sure

[rigid solar]

i'll test both

{set = 'Joker', key = other_center.key, config = new_config, vars = new_config } doesnt work

or well, it's the same as before

[red flower]

what if you do vars = { "test", "test" } just to see

[rigid solar]

that's really weird

so the variables for the text are taken from config, but for the name are taken in vars

??

[red flower]

🤷‍♂️

[rigid solar]

Anyways thanks it works well

ok now it just doesnt work

How would I toggle on/off the button based on some certain condition, and would I need an SMODS.DrawStep for it?

[daring fern]

No, you would change the visibility state of it, shown by the line below.

yall where does cryptid hide its thematic set code

Just looking at filenames, lib/gameset.lua I'd assume

trying to make paperback recognize vortexes as a light suit but its not working

yeah im looking for it

[red flower]

extra = { message = "something", extra = { message = "", extra = {...}}}}

[near coral]

Is that comma at the end supposed to be there or is it a mistake

[daring fern]

It is supposed to be there, because Lua supports trailing ,s.

[near coral]

Alr

[versed swan]

is this legit the only way to do that

that scares me

[red flower]

yes but if you want it to look nicer you can make all the tables separately and then use SMODS.merge_effects to make the extra chain for you

[versed swan]

ah, i see

[wintry crater]

how does the copy_card function work

[red flower]

it copies a card

next smods version has SMODS.copy_card

[wintry crater]

im trying to make it so you cant remove a card and if u try to it just comes back but it does not work so im pretty sure im using it wrong

[red flower]

you need to do a couple more things, check DNA's code

or wait for the smods one that handles all of it for you

[wintry crater]

what does G.hand:emplace do ive never seen it before

[red flower]

it puts the card in that area

[median rose]

I'm trying to check when jokers are added to the area above, whether that be through spectral, tarots, or buying them from the shop. However, the code I have now seems to being getting planets, spectrals, and tarots as jokers as well. I thought I got over this by checking the joker area, but ig not. What do i need to fix in my conditional?

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
    -- get when a joker is added to the slot
    if context.card_added then
        local card = context.card
        if not card then return end
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                print(card)
                if card.area and card.area.config.type == 'joker' then
                    game_state:add_joker(card)
                    game_state:print_jokers()
                end
                return true
            end
        }))
    end

[red flower]

the consumable area is also of type joker
card.ability.set == "Joker" would work

[median rose]

So I should remove the two conditions I have as well?

[red flower]

yeah

unless you dont care about a mod adding jokers to other areas

[median rose]

nah, this is going to be just for vanilla

[red flower]

then that should be enough

[wintry crater]

without the emplace it just puts a card on screen that can be moved around but not selected but with emplace it just force closes the game but i need to put the card in the deck somehow so its not just floating on screen but i dont know how emplace works

how do i make a joker destroy an adjacent joker

Is there an event/hook/function for when the player presses the main menu button?

[daring fern]

G.FUNCS.go_to_menu

[median rose]

what file is that in? Follow up question, is there a way to open all the game code into vs code so I don't have to open one file at a time?

im using winrar

[versed swan]

In your mods folder, the folder lovely has a dump of the game's code that is modified by all the mods you've enabled

Alternatively just extract the game exe like it's an archive file

[daring fern]

functions/button_callbacks.lua

[median rose]

what's the difference between dump and game-dump

[daring fern]

Nothing, but game-dump was supposed to also contain unpatched files.

[median rose]

Am I missing something here in order for this to work properly? I tried this without the self, but that didn't seem to make a difference

local go_to_menu_ref = Game.go_to_menu
function Game:go_to_menu()
    print("go_to_menu before")
    local ret = go_to_menu_ref(self)
    print("go_to_menu after")
    return ret
end

this is in my main file

[red flower]

that function doesn't exist

somethingcom said G.FUNCS.go_to_menu

[lament agate]

is it possible to spawn a desired consumable inside of a pack for testing purposes

[red flower]

you can use debugplus to transform a card in the pack into it

[median rose]

oh, i see. I thought Game. and G.FUNCS. were used interchangebly

[red flower]

or do you need it to appear

[lament agate]

i just want to test their usage inside of a pack

[red flower]

Game is the general game object while G.FUNCS is where the code for buttons and other ui is stored

[red flower]

eval dp.hovered:set_ability("c_key") while hovering a card on the pack

thanks

mwah

Unsure what the issue is now

local go_to_menu_ref = G.FUNCS.go_to_menu
function go_to_menu()
    print("go_to_menu before")
    local ret = go_to_menu_ref()
    print("go_to_menu after")

[primal robin]

You'll not believe it, manual checks

[red flower]

makes sense

i might do the same when im not feeling lazy

[brazen rock]

how would i check if a playing card has any enhancement on it?

[red flower]

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

[brazen rock]

much appreciated

[primal robin]

My peak checks for enhancement

[frosty dock]

what is context.source and why would it not have a set?

[primal robin]

Because it's not calculate context

It's custom info context

It holds info_queue source, ability table, info_queue in various forms, to process it and display in separate UI in various forms

Like, serious shit is happening right here xd

[frosty dock]

if it has ability table, it has ability.set though, no?

[primal robin]

playing cards with centers as not enhancements exist

I want cover all of them

[frosty dock]

Wouldn't their set still be not "Default"?

[primal robin]

Yes but it's equal to check is key is not "c_base" isnt it

[frosty dock]

it is

[primal robin]

Also this is like

It's a check for card which created to display edition sticker etc in collection

Because, when card with seal in collection generates ui, it first adds a seal to info queue, and then somewhere inside this enigma it converts it into main description

If I'm not doing this result looks like this

[final jewel]

pixel_size = { w = 59 } how do I make this thing work

like for a Joker

[final jewel]

ok but it doesnt seems to work, idk

[frosty dock]

what smods version?

[final jewel]

1606b

[frosty dock]

is there a difference vs. having no oixel_size specified?

[final jewel]

No

Like its just sticker are showed wrong on the card

[frosty dock]

hm

could be that pixel_size doesn't properly affect stickers

[fading rivet]

do the buttons alighting properly?

align

[torn thunder]

wgat about display_size

[final jewel]

Display_size shorten the pixel size doesnt it ?

[final jewel]

Not at all

[torn thunder]

trrue oops

[final jewel]

Its fine

[fading rivet]

is there a function called when a tag is created within the tag

or should I use my mod calclate with the tag added context

[brazen rock]

im struggling to understand the smods api docs quite a fair bit,
been looking around trying to figure out how to make things like custom blinds & tags but to no avail
are there any good tutorials on this or is there anything im able to use as a template to learn from?

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/tree/main/src vanillaremade here has Everything from vanilla recreated using smods

[brazen rock]

thanks a lot

Thank you so much! You're the best

[naive coral]

function CardArea:add_to_highlighted(card, silent, ...)
    if true then return nil end
    return StayTheStill(card, silent)
end```

how can i make this only work under a specific joker?

or just making one joker, i know true needs to be replaced but im not sure what with

i want one joker to not be highlighted when clicked, it doesnt matter that it cant be sold, because it destroys itself on click anyway

[long sun]

despite this card's atlas stating itself as px 71, py 67, and the card itself stating that it's px 71, py 67, the card displays stretched. why?

the hitbox is smaller, so at least that's working

[slim ferry]

do you have both pixel_size and display_size set on the card?

[brazen rock]

for whatever reason i cannot get this seal to work
no matter what i do it refuses to show up anywhere
the game and the file itself load fine, no crashes
i dont know what im doing wrong

[red flower]

do you know it's loading fine? is this your main file?

[fading rivet]

did you save the file

[brazen rock]

file has been saved

main.lua is loading this file (seals.lua)

[fading rivet]

can you put a print statement in the file to ensure its loaded

[red flower]

^ that and if it doesnt work show the main file and your file structure

[brazen rock]

here

[torn thunder]

why r u sanity checking SMODS.Atlas

also

you have to put () after the assert()

its assert(SMODS.load_file(path))()

[brazen rock]

oh

yeah the seal shows up now

thanks

[torn thunder]

np

[brazen rock]

sorta just getting used to the smods api a little
still learning

[primal robin]

How crazy would be to ask add mod badge in collection for seals, edition, stickers, etc?

[red flower]

i made a note about that the other day lol

[primal robin]

I managed to extract them for my needs but have them in collection would be nice too

Editions actually have them, but stickers and seals is not

And blinds

But mainly seals and stickers

[primal robin]

Question. What naming for info_queue process will be better: before -> individual -> after or pre -> individual -> post?

[fading rivet]

before and after probably
consistent with hand scoring

[versed swan]

I was gonna say, whichever is used more often in other areas

[primal robin]

Another question: better have separate classes for before/individual/after processed, or use smth similar to SMODS.DrawStep, where there's list of cases to trigger on and then you manially filter them

nvm I will follow SMODS.DrawStep example

Technically I can name it all calculate_ui and this will be funny but I more like it call processing

Glossary.InfoQueueProcessor let's go

[naive coral]

how do i make a hook only work for a specific joker

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[glossy dagger]

I this pure bullshit or is actual code? (My first time coding a joker)

[daring fern]

You're setting the global variable xmult instead of scaling the card, also you should be using SMODS.scale_card

[glossy dagger]

oh

[naive coral]

i am trying to hook CardArea:add_to_highlight in order to prevent one joker from being highlighted, so the goal is preventing a joker from becoming highlighted in the joker cardarea

[glossy dagger]

how i change it then?

[glossy dagger]

so... how i scalate the card then?

[naive coral]

whats the full code of the joker? in a txt file

and whats the joker trying to do

[glossy dagger]

gimmie a sec

i already messed up the code i think TwT

[daring fern]

if card.config.center.key == 'j_modprefix_key'

[naive coral]

ty so much

[daring fern]

SMODS.scale_card(card, {
    ref_table = card.ability.extra,
    ref_value = 'xmult',
    scalar_value = 'xmult_gain',
    no_message = true
})

[glossy dagger]

where i put this

sorry if i make too many questions

[naive coral]

whats the joker you have trying to do?

[daring fern]

You put it where you want to scale the card.

[glossy dagger]

every 6 scored heart cards, gains x0.2 Mult, starts at x1

[median rose]

What is the event called for when the r key is held to reset a run

[glossy dagger]

Idk what i am even making

[naive coral]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'YourJoker',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'YourJoker',
        text = {
            "{X:mult,C:white} X#1# {} Mult, Gains",
            "{X:mult,C:white}X#2#{} Mult every {C:mult}#4#[#3#]{} Hearts Scored",
        }
    },
    config = { extra = { Xmult = 1, XmultScalar = 0.2, Count = 6, CountOriginal = 6 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult, card.ability.extra.XmultScalar, card.ability.extra.Count, card.ability.extra.CountOriginal } }
    end,
    rarity = 1,
    atlas = 'YourAtlas',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    cost = 1,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") then
            card.ability.extra.Count = card.ability.extra.Count - 1
        end
        if card.ability.extra.Count <= 0 then
            card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.XmultScalar
            card.ability.extra.Count = card.ability.extra.CountOriginal
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } }        
            }
        end
    end
}

there

[glossy dagger]

you just made the code?-

[naive coral]

indenting got lost in transit, but i tested and it works correctly

yeah

simple stuff

[glossy dagger]

thank you!

[naive coral]

youll learn after, good things take time

[naive coral]

Np

[glossy dagger]

at least now i know how it works... i think

[daring fern]

No, you shouldn't be using Xmult_mod

[naive coral]

why so?

if it works it works right

[daring fern]

No, you should be using xmult

[naive coral]

is there a difference?

[daring fern]

Yes, xmult adds the message automatically.

[naive coral]

i see. i just copied some old code from my mod, didnt know there was a real difference

[naive coral]

make sure to change the atlas part to your atlas for your sprites, and the key and name to the things you want

[glossy dagger]

yeah

ngl, i was messing around with a friend's jokerforge mod (she let me do it) and i was trying to fix and optimize a joker with like 300 lines that didnt even work

jokerforge in their prime

[naive coral]

jokerforge is kind of bad tbh, i couldnt figure out the gui too well and i only got things working when i stopped using it

[glossy dagger]

i used it for a really basic mod and did work... then everything else kinda sloppy

because my mod were just jokers

when you touch anything more complex that "X happens, + 5 mult", it breaks

[median rose]

init_game_object techinically not the right one, but good enough

[glossy dagger]

It worked

After like easy 30 corrections to stupid thingys

thanks @naive coral

[median rose]

Can someone explain to me what .toml files are, and how to use them in this context? In my main file, I want to call a function when the wheel applies an edition to a joker. I'm looking at this code which is printing out the line in the screenshot. Kinda hard to see but it says "The wheel has applied Foil to Oops! All 6s" (https://github.com/nh6574/PlayLog/blob/6ae5f80776057377c2291dbb59d78d112dd9c27f/lovely/logging/consumables.toml#L78-L105)

My confusion is I don't see consumables being called anywhere in the repo, nor am I sure if I will be able to call the function I want since it comes from a metatable. Here is the pseudocode if that explains this better

-- in main.lua:
-- create custom object when mod is initialized 
-- when wheel is used, call function from custom object

[daring fern]

All toml files in a lovely folder are automatically loaded.

[median rose]

so if I do something like the first for my main file, and the second for my toml, I shouldn't get any errors, and the toml will know what game_state is?

local game_state = GameState.new() --custom object

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = "eligible_card:set_edition(edition, true)"
position = 'before'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
game_state.print()
'''

[daring fern]

No, because game_state is a local variable that only exists in that file.

[primal robin]

Damn I finally did it

[glass scaffold]

I've tried a few combinations of different randomization methods and lines to define variables, and yet, it won't debuff one single set, rather debuffs whatever the hell it feels like.

How do I force it to only randomize the number ONCE and use that to determine what set gets debuffed?

[red flower]

do it in context.press_play and save it to blind.effect.rank or something

and don't use math.random, use pseudorandom

if you want one for the whole round do it in context.setting_blind instead

[median rose]

so even this won't work if I refactor the game state to be a global singleton bc it's is also local in main?

-- game_state.lua
local GameState = {
    playing_cards = {},
    jokers = {}
}
function print()
   print("a")
end
return GameState

-- main.lua
local GameState = assert(SMODS.load_file('game_state.lua'))()

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = "eligible_card:set_edition(edition, true)"
position = 'before'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
GameState.print()
'''

[glass scaffold]

[SMODS WildcardCollection "components/blinds.lua"]:444: attempt to index a nil value

[frosty rampart]

correct
but there's nothing stopping you from just making a global table by removing the "local", although i'd recommend naming it after your mod's name just in case another mod makes a global "GameState" for whatever reason and they clobber each other

[frosty rampart]

it should just be playing_card:flip()

[frosty rampart]

oh also that print function that you define isn't even in the GameState table, so your usage in the patch wouldn't make sense even if GameState was a global

[median rose]

Right, it needs to be GameState.print

[glass scaffold]

So somehow:

No cards debuffed
Every click randomly flips some cards
Can't even play a hand (Not Allowed! message appears)

[median rose]

Tables are difficult to wrap my head around when majority of languages you have worked with are oop

[frosty rampart]

understandable

lua is a very different language if you're used to oop

[daring fern]

You need a context check.

[glass scaffold]

Well, this solved the crash issue and the Not Allowed! issue.

But now there's no debuffs or flips.

[daring fern]

You can't return debuff = true in context.hand_drawn, you have to use SMODS.debuff_card

[glass scaffold]

That'd make sense tbh

[red flower]

what was wrong with my suggestion..

[glass scaffold]

Well, I have a very bad case of "Oooh this makes the blind even harder, let's do THAT"

[red flower]

well but. if you don't know how to do one effect i would try to learn before doing another one you also don't know how to do 😭

[glass scaffold]

You are also correct there. But no one ever said I was a good developer.

[red flower]

anyway, what's the new effect

[glass scaffold]

Either flips or debuffs the card.

[red flower]

i can see that but when

[glass scaffold]

on draw

[red flower]

then yeah I would use SMODS.debuff_card there but you need to remember to rebuff them after

also this will debuff and flip cards that were already debuffed or flipped before

[fading rivet]

is there a function called within the tag object when its added to your current tagd

[daring fern]

No, but there is add_tag

[daring fern]

SMODS.debuff_card(playing_card, true, self.key)

[versed swan]

are variables in multiboxes a thing now?

(localization)

[glass scaffold]

Well, it fixed it for a bit, but it returns the same crash after a few hands. Still won't debuff cards.

Wait, which do I have to apply that to?

Both or the one in defeat

[daring fern]

You would change both but the one in defeat would be false instead of true

[silk latch]

We making the Shitfuck 78 with this one

[lusty marten]

yes , do you know playing cards font?

[red flower]

they always were

the only new multibox thing is main_start and main_end support

[versed swan]

Oh wait shit I got confused

[versed swan]

Gotcha

[versed swan]

FUCK YEAH

Finally I dont have to die making ui for my stupid legendary idea

[summer furnace]

So I've been looking an looking, but can't find an answer anywhere

How do I make a Joker retrigger itself, until a random generated number is 2?

        if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card == card then 
            return { repetitions = 1 }
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            baller = pseudorandom('baller', 1, 2)
            print(baller)
            if baller == 1 then 
                return {
                    message = 'Balling!',
                    Xmult_mod = 2,
                    repetitions = 1
                }
            end
        end
    end ```
I have this code but I cannot find out how to do this

[daring fern]

if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card == card then
    local repetitions = 0
    local number = pseudorandom('seed', 1, 2)
    while number ~= 2 do
        repetitions = repetitions+1
        number = pseudorandom('seed', 1, 2)
    end
    return {repetitions = repetitions}
end

[summer furnace]

It still doesn't retrigger? (I have retrigger_joke = true above the calculate)

[long sun]

only one, I've tried both separately

here it is with both

[daring fern]

Try putting it on a normal sized atlas and putting it at the top of the sprite and using pixel_size

[faint yacht]

pixel_size = { w = 71, h = 77 }

whilst the actual atlas itself is still 71x95 aligned.

[long sun]

ah, i'll give that a go

yay thanks ^^

[summer furnace]

nvm fixed it, I misunderstood the optional feature thingi 👍

[keen totem]

what does the base game use as a context for an end of round effect?

egg and rocket, when i played with them in comparison to my modded jokers, always triggered before my end of round effects

also, is it possible to fix the shader of Foil having the center of the shader offset from the middle of the joker if the joker isnt 71x95

[daring fern]

context.end_of_round

[keen totem]

i mean rocket's scaling effect

it triggers before any of my jokers

even though they also use end_of_round

[daring fern]

Yes, they use SMODS.scale_card instead of returning a message.

[keen totem]

is there any reason to ever use context.blind_defeated over context.end_of_round

[summer furnace]

to be honest I do not know what I did, but it broke and I do not have a clue why 😭

        if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card == card then
            local repetitions = 0
            local number = pseudorandom('seed', 1, 2)
            while number ~= 2 do
                repetitions = repetitions + 1
                number = pseudorandom('seed', 1, 2)
            end
            return {repetitions = repetitions}
        end
        if context.joker_main then
              return {
                  message = 'Balling!',
                  Xmult_mod = 2,
              }
        end
    end ```Here is the code
(I have this at the top:```SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
    return {
        post_trigger = true,
        retrigger_joker = true,
        quantum_enhancements = true,
        object_weights = true,
        cardareas = {
            discard = true,
            deck = true
        }
    }
end```)

[daring fern]

Remove the if repetitions > 0 check.

[summer furnace]

Oh thanks! that fixed it

[keen totem]

how would you level up a target poker hand once

every example ive tried to find is either hardcoded or uses a mod's custom API

[daring fern]

SMODS.upgrade_poker_hands({hands = 'modprefix_key'})

[viscid talon]

@sour rivet i think you need to make a loop

everything is a key (cards, jokers, etc) and you would need to loop through #G.hand.highlighted (i think) and check if the card's id is 2 or lower

i have a joker thats very similar that ill show you

[red flower]

you loop through context.scoring_hand or context.full_hand

G.hand.highlighted doesn't have anything during scoring

[sour rivet]

Right! Admittedly even these terms are a little foreign to me still, as this is my third(?) time touching lua scripts, but I think I can understand some logic..

[viscid talon]

-- Seven Sisters
SMODS.Joker {
    key = "sevensisters",
    pos = { x = 7, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { xmult = 3.5 } },
    cost = 9,
    rarity = 3,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = false,
    atlas = 'HatchetJokers',

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult } }
    end,

    -- Code by Somethingcom515
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            local passed = true
            for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
                if v:get_id() ~= 7 then -- if even one card is NOT 7, its false. ~= is the lua equivalent of !=
                    passed = false      -- the local "passed" variable is set to false
                end
            end
            if passed then
                return { xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult }
            end
        end
    end
}```

[viscid talon]

ah i see

[red flower]

but yeah that code is basically it

[viscid talon]

i got super sevens mixed up with wheelbarrow 😭😭

but yeah

check through context.full.hand or context.scoring.hand

a local variable (you can name it whatever you want) will check if every card is ONLY 2 (or less)

and if it isnt, it will return a false value, and the joker will not trigger the xmult

here are some notes i made

k = key
v = value

---

the code above runs a loop for each corresponding key within the table.
everything within a table (whether its cards, blinds, etc) is assigned a key.

---

everytime the loop runs in the code, [k] is the index within the context (your full hand) while [v] is the card object itself. think of [k] as a search string and [v] as the card object. your loop is checking each card's ID. if even one of them ISNT a 7, the code will not run, hence why its set to false

---

credit to Somethingcom515, Meta and notmario for teaching me!

lua is a strange language where roughlyneverything has a table

[sour rivet]

I tried replicating this 1:1 (aside from changing a 7 to a 2) to see what happens - I feel like seeing it trigger will give better context here. In the "play around and find out" phase..

[sour rivet]

So that's what k and v mean!!!!!

(again, my coding experience is not a lot so pretty much everything is new. Feels like I need to learn to breathe here)

[red flower]

i would also recommend not naming them k and v and picking more appropriate names for each table you loop through

[red flower]

like in this case i would name them index, playing_card

[sour rivet]

Probably something distincitve enough in that'a'case, yes-

Would 'k' and 'v' cause problems with other cards trying to use them?

[red flower]

no because the variables only exist in the loop

[sour rivet]

So it's moreso a matter of legibility?

[red flower]

yes

[sour rivet]

Aha!

[viscid talon]

conflicting info 😔

[red flower]

?

[sour rivet]

Another question! Can I possibly vary the pitch of a potential sound file used?

'Stead of going play_sound("modpack_soundbyte", 1, 0.7),
, have the program, say, pick a random value between 1.1-0.8 for pitch, then 0,7 for the volume?

[sour rivet]

I assume you can specify a little further above that, in this instance, "k" will be replaces with the term 'index' and 'v' with 'playing_card'...

[gilded blaze]

via hooking, yes, easily

[red flower]

like, when you play it or when vanilla/any mod does?

[sour rivet]

The card makes a sound once it realizes the hand only contains 2's, but it repeating the same sound effect over and over can get grating-

[red flower]

yeah you can just use math.random() for it

[sour rivet]

I am also struggling with timing a little. The sound plays a little earlier than I'd like. I'm skimmign through the documentation to see if i've missed anything

[red flower]

instead of using play_sound you might want to return sound = "key" so it plays at the appropriate time

you would need a message too tho

[red flower]

you shouldn't call functions in the return

[red flower]

write it like this instead

[sour rivet]

In my defense I took it from another mod that is doing things a little differently it seems-

I'll keep that in mind!

[red flower]

card = card doesn't do anything btw

[sour rivet]

B-But it's funny.

[primal robin]

sanity check

[sour rivet]

Exactly!

Despite everything, you're still spaghetti.

[red flower]

smh

[sour rivet]

But realtalk, I thought the card just needs to be punched with a "card=card" sometimes to make sure it doesn't forget what it is. But if it's not necessary I'll remove it to ease clutter

[red flower]

it's a remnant from old code that is used in vanilla but not smods, and it leads to people believing they should change card = something when they want to change where the message is displayed instead of using message_card

[sour rivet]

This is good to know! Thank you!

[viscid talon]

i know its just, k and v is what i was told to use in the past and its what the vanillaremade code says

it doesnt matter either way

if its only for one loop, who cares right?

[sour rivet]

I feel like it's a matter of taste!

[red flower]

i don't think it's taste necessarily, naming variables appropriately is very important

[red flower]

i made sure most of the vremade code uses actual names

[versed swan]

I think it's common to teach programmers to use arbitrary variable names in for-loops, like in Python they might show for i in range(...): or for x in list: - or in JavaScript: for (i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {...

But in practice it ends up leading to difficult-to-follow code. In particular, the Lua extension for most code development environments is often not smart enough to mark the data type/class that objects in an iterated table are. Hence, naming variables, especially in for-loops is important

This is one of those things you, uh, kinda have to unlearn

[red flower]

I personally think it's fine for numbers, i still use i a lot but even in python when I'm iterating through a list I also try to use proper names

relevant:
https://youtu.be/-J3wNP6u5YU

[versed swan]

Yeah there are a few cases where using single letters is fine, like numbers or indices - its common enough to use i for integer indices

(A more proper variable name, in a sense, would be index, but bleh)

[red flower]

nice

[primal robin]

Probably multiple pages is not happening because it creates difficulties in terms of reloading ui

So big scrolling only way to save us

[wintry solar]

This is not what I envisioned the glossary to be but I guess it’s sort of useful

[tulip pecan]

How does the vanilla standard pack choose some cards to be enhanced? I'm looking at the VanillaRemade code but it doesn't return enhancement like I assume it would. I'm wanting to modify the chance that a card is enhanced.

[red flower]

check this
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#smodscreate_cardt---card

enhanced_poll is what you need

[tulip pecan]

so if I wanted any card created to have the modified rate, I would hook the function to modify it?

[red flower]

any card in both shop and boosters?

[tulip pecan]

any card anywhere yes

[red flower]

have you checked the code for the Illusion voucher?

you could do the same but with enhancements and also checking for modify_booster_card

[cinder elk]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'galacticnova',
    atlas = 'StarterPackJokers',
    pos = { x = 2, y = 1 },
    rarity = 1,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    cost = 2,
    discovered = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'j_stpk_galacticnova')
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, numerator, denominator } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.using_consumeable and not context.blueprint and context.consumeable.ability.set == 'Planet' then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_mod
            return {
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
            }
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
                
            }
        end
    end
}```

trying to make it so that it has a 1/10 chance to be destroyed at the end of the round like gros michel, BUT gain mult like constellation, except it's mult and not x mult

[red flower]

what's the problem

[cinder elk]

i dont know where exactly to put the destroy stuff

thing

it's weird

[red flower]

it's a separate context so just have it as a separate if condition

[long sun]

haiiiii so i'm trying to figure out CanvasSprites on UI

i have this code, but:

1. the canvassprite doesn't appear
2. changing its w and h does nothing to the size of the box

can anyone help me learn how to use these? it's my first time, sorry

[tulip pecan]

is it possible to change language color formatting ({X:attention,C:white}#7#) through local vars? I would like text to change color based on a number defined in local vars

[fading rivet]

http://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#variablecustom-text-colour-modifier-v

How can I get and modify the calculated score?

before its added the current score, but after chips and mult are multiplied

[glass crown]

okay, i know this is a complicated question, im mostly just looking for a little direction:
does anyone know how cryptid does the thing where you select the specific type of deck by clicking on it? specifically with a vanilla deck? or, alternatively, could someone point me to how i could do a "tainted characters" kinda thing for decks? pressing a button and switching to a variation of the deck, basically

[fading rivet]

cryptid likely hooks card:click to pull up a context menu

[slim ferry]

it does in fact do that

[long sun]

(bump)

[red flower]

you would need to patch the part that does that in G.FUNCS.evaluate_play

[fading rivet]

thx

[red flower]

there isn't like a final final scoring step because then it would have the same problem as final scoring step where it wouldn't really be the final thing lol

[fading rivet]

lol

looking into this it seems I need to change SMODS.calculate_round_score

[silent sail]

do decks use info queues differently?

cause i copied and pasted this from my spectral and it crashes

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

[slim ferry]

decks do not use info_queue at all currently

[silent sail]

oh

ah

ok then

[slim ferry]

i dont think there is a way to add a seal tooltip for a deck without galdur

or until galdur in smods

[tulip pecan]

How would I add Text Motion Modifier 1 (the one that makes the word "probabilities" bounce around on oops) to a text UI element? I think it's possible, since every joker's name when hovering has Modifier 2 applied to the text

[slim ferry]

pretty sure you would have to use G.UIT.O with a DynaText object, not sure how the effect would be applied from there but i cant imagine its that complicated

you could probably look at how vanilla localization handles creating the dynatext

[red flower]

there will be in the next smods version... well, also assuming no galdur in smods before then

[fading rivet]

What function would I need to hook to get when a tag is clicked, since Tag.click seems to be nil

[frosty dock]

this is because tags are evil and entirely backend objects

you'd want to patch into Tag:generate_UI and set tag_sprite.click

[fading rivet]

is this gonna a conflict with other mods?

[frosty dock]

for slightly more compatibility, you can do a double hook

hook Tag:generate_UI and inside of that hook, hook self.tag_sprite.click if it exists and create it otherwise

[fading rivet]

ill do that then, thx

thx

[frosty dock]

i'm looking at a source dump that has cryptid for some reason, so I have no clue if the function actually exists by default. i don't think it does though

[red flower]

i think click should be there because it extends Node but idk

[frosty dock]

right, it's actually a real Sprite

i forgor

[tidal hemlock]

got an "unexpected symbol near }" error here (line 102) and i have no clue why

[frosty dock]

get a lua extension that checks your syntax

it looks like you're missing an end

[naive coral]

function CardArea:add_to_highlighted(card, silent, ...)
      if self.config.center.key == "j_Krypton_LiamCat" then 
        return nil 
    end         
    return StayTheStill
end

what am i doing wrong to make this hook not work properly? i am trying to make a joker not become highlighted, and it just crashes with this error

[fading rivet]

yeah the tag when I do dp.hovered has a .click

[frosty dock]

yeah that makes sense

you can just hook it without caring about if it exists or not

-# the rare double hook

[red flower]

self is the cardarea here not the joker
the joker would be card

[wintry solar]

you also need to pass the arguments to the StayTheStill call

[frosty dock]

also you have to return StayTheStill(self, card, silent, ...)

whoops, the double

[wintry solar]

so in sync

[naive coral]

function CardArea:add_to_highlighted(card, silent, ...)
      if card.config.center.key == "j_Krypton_LiamCat" then 
        return nil 
    end         
    return StayTheStill(self, card, silent, ...)
end```
this?

[frosty dock]

that looks correct

[fading rivet]

okay next qeustion lol
how do I tell if the tag is in the collection

[tidal hemlock]

so i fixed that issue and a new one came up

[fading rivet]

send code

[tidal hemlock]

i did

[frosty dock]

probably by hooking Tag:init to actually save for_collection somewhere

or rely on the fact that set_ability isn't called for collection tags, not sure how that would look like though

[fading rivet]

oh that makes it easy i'm alreadyusing set ability

[wintry solar]

delete the end above if raised_card....

and likely move it to the bottom

[fading rivet]

raised_card is a local variable

if raised_card == context.other_card is out of scope

so raised_card will always be nil

[ashen adder]

Im trying to fix the flickering sticker in cryptid(currently does nothing lol)

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if not card.ability.flick_tally then
            card.ability.flick_tally = 5
        end
        if card.ability.set == "Joker" then
            if context.post_trigger and context.other_joker == card then
               ...other code
    end,

The main problem seems to be that you need to fix other_joker to other_card but then the issue becomes that it triggers everytime the joker retriggers
and also doesnt trigger for jokers that activate on blind select(and maybe others i didnt test much lol)
Is there an easy way to fix this?

[tidal hemlock]

so just move raised_card out of the if?

[daring fern]

What jokers did you test with?

[ashen adder]

hanging chad just counts as 3 triggers

[ashen adder]

jokers that give you something on blind select like burglar certificate etc just doesnt work

[fading rivet]

yeah

[fading rivet]

ight trying this

[wintry solar]

no that isn't your problem at all

[tidal hemlock]

i did your thing too

[wintry solar]

you don't need to move anything else

[tidal hemlock]

so its functional, apart from the part where it does something

currently it does nothing, but it doesnt crash

[wintry solar]

what's it supposed to do?

[fading rivet]

frick

[wintry solar]

change local temp_ID = 15 to local temp_ID = 0

[tidal hemlock]

oh yeah that makes sense

[wintry solar]

you're starting your highest value as something higher than any card

[tidal hemlock]

did this, still nothing

[wintry solar]

can you post your updated code?

[tidal hemlock]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "spotlight",
    atlas = "CelestJokers",
    pos = { x = 2, y = 0 },
    rarity = 2,

    cost = 6,
    config = { extra = {suit = 'celestin_Vortexes' }, },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = {localize(card.ability.extra.suit, 'suits_plural') } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    local raised_card = nil
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.end_of_round then
            local temp_ID = 0
            for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do
                if temp_ID <= G.hand.cards[i].base.id and not SMODS.has_no_rank(G.hand.cards[i]) then
                    temp_ID = G.hand.cards[i].base.id
                    raised_card = G.hand.cards[i]
                end
            end
     if raised_card == context.other_card then
                if context.other_card.debuff then
                    return {
                        message = localize('k_debuffed'),
                        colour = G.C.RED
                    }
                else
                    return {
                        SMODS.change_base(v, card.ability.extra.suit)
                    }
                end
    end
end
end
}```

woah code wall moment

kinda ripped all this from raised fist

[wintry solar]

oh

you're trying to use SMODS.change_base on v instead of context.other_card

[tidal hemlock]

oh woops, i ripped it from something that used v

[fading rivet]

how can I differentiate between creating a tag when loading a save and creating a tag normally

i'm seeing self.from_load in tag:load but its not appearing in the object i see on the screen

[ashen adder]

so do i add something like not context.retrigger to stop it from triggering?

[fading rivet]

context.check_retrigger iirc

[ashen adder]

oh okay but then what about like jokers that activate on blind select is there also some context for that?

[frosty dock]

context.retrigger_joker indicates if you're being retriggered

[ashen adder]

i see yeah

[frosty dock]

that's not a thing, is it?

[brazen rock]

what would be the best way to load everything in a folder at once instead of having to do this for every line

[fading rivet]

idk i don't mess with joker retriggers

i vaguely remember seeing it like 3 months ago

[fading rivet]

i would recommend loading everything in a folder manually for more control

[brazen rock]

so do i just keep doing this

[fading rivet]

but you can use SMODS.NFS iirc to get directories and the folders within then

PPU probably has somethign

[fading rivet]

you could also make helper functions

[brazen rock]

how would i do this

[fading rivet]

my guy this is basic coding 😭

[brazen rock]

Oh

🥀

[ashen adder]

hmmm yea adding not context.retrigger_joker didnt do anything

[brazen rock]

i have a function that does this if thats what you mean

[fading rivet]

i mean something more like this

[brazen rock]

ah

also do things like seals have to be in separate scripts or can i merge them into one

[fading rivet]

you can use any amount of files as long as it fits lua syntax

I have all of these for example

[brazen rock]

neat

thanks for the help

[fading rivet]

bump

[daring fern]

Yes, tag.from_load is only for Tags, not HUDs or Sprites.

[fading rivet]

is there a way to differentiate or should I use ability

[daring fern]

From the Sprite you could do sprite.config.tag.from_load

[fading rivet]

already tried that

assuming sprite is what is given by dp.hovered

this is where it needs to be checked

[daring fern]

Yes, the tag there would have from_load when it's loaded and added.

[fading rivet]

it doesn't though

bruh it froze

when it reloaded the run I had another banana

cuase the on_obtain function was called again

[daring fern]

You need to check before you call the old add_tag

[fading rivet]

ah

how can i make my tarot card not crash the game when highlighted without a card highlighted?

[daring fern]

You would check that G.hand.highlighted[1] exists before you use SMODS.has_enhancement with it.

[ashen adder]

Wait so if it checks context.post_trigger then does retrigger dont matter or something? Do i change it on trigger maybe idk

[fading rivet]

sick thx

infinite banana glitch has been patched

[naive coral]

does pinned pin a joker to a slot? if so, can i make it always pin a joker to the 3rd slot over

[keen totem]

leftmost

[keen totem]

how does the base game hide the poker hand, level, and base chips/mult when one of the cards is face down

and can you replicate that

[fading rivet]

any idea why the tags set_ability isn't being called

[keen totem]

how do i check if a planet card actually has a hand_type

im trying to level up the hand_type that a certain planet card has, but planet cards that dont have a hand_type just level up literally every hand_type

[fading rivet]

i want you to think about what you just asked 😭

[keen totem]

what hand_type do modded jokers that dont directly upgrade a specific poker hand have

[fading rivet]

you'd have to look at them individually

[keen totem]

checking some of them, in cryptid at least, they just dont have one

[glass crown]

i have no clue where to start with this so im asking here, how would one go about making a like "tainted characters" kinda thing for decks? like, press / click a button and the deck select screen changes and theres new decks there?

[fading rivet]

hook Card.click to open up a overlay menu

then modify some global that is used when starting a run with your deck

[daring fern]

if card.ability.consumeable.hand_type

[glass crown]

alright, thank you for the direction given, lets see how far i get lmao

[keen totem]

i see that cryptid has "hand_types" as a config for some planet cards
is that a base smods thing or something they added

[red flower]

i would recommend waiting a tiny bit for smods to get a new deck select screen soon

it will have ways to add screens to customize decks

[red flower]

they added it

[keen totem]

alr

i didnt want to add a check for it if it was cryptid specific

[red flower]

mine also has that but i use joy_hand_types :3

[keen totem]

something that ive noticed with the Foil shader, and likely other shaders, is that on jokers with a pixel size other than 71x95, the "center" of the shader gets offset from the center of the sprite

is there any way to fix this on the side of the joker or is this a shader issue

the base game has the issue so i assume its probably not possible to fix

[frosty rampart]

yea i'd imagine it's a shader issue, probably hardcodes the center's position rather than determining it on the fly based on the card's dimensions

[glossy dagger]

someone knows what variable or something use so a joker show the initial deck size (Like erosion)

[frosty rampart]

G.GAME.starting_deck_size

[glossy dagger]

i put that in the text?

[fading rivet]

put it in your loc_vars

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#loc_vars (loc_vars documentation)

[glossy dagger]

thanks

[fading rivet]

again, send your loc vars code

[red flower]

i hate jokerforge code

[fading rivet]

that should be crashing, no?

your only returning 1 variable

your loc_txt requests 2

[fading rivet]

please go read this

[weak grove]

What about that?

[fading rivet]

.

[fading rivet]

.

[fading rivet]

.

[weak grove]

.

[fading rivet]

yes?

[weak grove]

1 sec

[keen blaze]

the #1# and #2# (image 1) point to positions within the vars table that you return in loc_vars (image 2), however because you only have one value in the vars table of loc_vars, #2# is returning as nil

[weak grove]

ohhhh
