Steamodded is 608

It crashes and even with the mod to see reasons for the crash nothing comes up

It's very strange. Would like to play

I should also mention it worked kinda fine the first time

It crashed when I opened the deck because I assume one of the mods I was also using was outdated/incompatible

And now it just does this

#

Gonna verify game files and stuff

#

Okay verified files working now?

So if it does that verify game files lol

not really, I got a lot of mods too

dense quarry Jun 10, 2025, 3:06 PM

Hmm, there's really nothing in the code that jumps out as being problematic with other mods

#

It's all pretty basic stuff Emoti_Shrug

Actually on closer look I think one of the blocks was out of place. I'll try pushing that and see if it helps

Since it wasn't a change to Conveyor Belt's code I don't actually think you'll have to restart your run or anything

does that mean that +mult jokers will trigger twice?

#

oh it doesn't

dense quarry Jun 10, 2025, 4:39 PM

#

Not necessarily. Essentially Jokers that do not rely on playing card triggers will trigger first. Otherwise it's the same order of operations

honest totem Jun 10, 2025, 4:39 PM

im very glad horoscopes are coming in handy lol

i was worried they'd be underpowered

honest totem Jun 10, 2025, 11:17 PM

#

nimble thicket i was worried they'd be underpowered

yes and no, some of them are strong when you're already strong (win in one hand) and sometimes they just show up in big blind so you cant use 10 planet cards by then

nimble thicket Jun 10, 2025, 11:18 PM

#

very fair

#

i considered having a guaranteed zodiac pack be opened at the start of an ante but that never went very far

#

maybe it could be a new deck in the future

honest totem Jun 10, 2025, 11:21 PM

#

nimble thicket maybe it could be a new deck in the future

that would be nice, just a simple vanilla adjacent deck that makes mod content more accessible

#

maybe even like ghist deck where they can appear in the shop

deft mauve Jun 10, 2025, 11:25 PM

#

I am sorry, I have just read on wiki that you have the 6 are 9 and vice versa. Are they both ranks at the same time (I don't think it's possible?), or is it just swap? If it is swap, what is the point?

nimble thicket Jun 10, 2025, 11:27 PM

#

its both ranks at the same time

#

they'll give their normal chip values when played but you could use a six to replace a nine in a king through nine straight or a five of a kind made up of 2 sixes and 3 nines or something

#

and sixes will count towards cloud nine

deft mauve Jun 10, 2025, 11:30 PM

#

Ok, then what about straights?

nimble thicket Jun 10, 2025, 11:30 PM

#

i mentioned straights already

#

you could play king queen jack ten six and itll count as a straight

deft mauve Jun 10, 2025, 11:34 PM

#

Ah yes sorry, if I use six two times in one hand, can one only one of them count as nine if its beneficial (straights)? Like Wild cards do with colors for the sake of flower pot and the likes.

nimble thicket Jun 10, 2025, 11:34 PM

#

yep! you could do six eight seven six five and that should also work

deft mauve Jun 10, 2025, 11:36 PM

#

In that case, that's amazing! Lastly, if I already have mod that has interactions with six or nine, will the joker make them trigger?

honest totem Jun 10, 2025, 11:48 PM

#

nimble thicket i mentioned straights already

hey sorry to bother, but capricorn doesn't scale with the winged dragon of ra

#

#

I did get the breadstick, but I dont have it anymore, from the joker that creates another joker but destroys it at end of round

#

also gutbuster crahsed when I tried to reset the run

honest totem Jun 10, 2025, 11:51 PM

#

honest totem I did get the breadstick, but I dont have it anymore, from the joker that create...

oh, I do still have the breadsticks scratch that

#

yeah so it seems gutbuster doesn't save its target joker, so if you reload its just nil

dense quarry Jun 11, 2025, 12:32 AM

#

deft mauve In that case, that's amazing! Lastly, if I already have mod that has interaction...

This one's a no. Because of current Steamodded limitations, it only works with Maximus and Vanilla Jokers. Hopefully a quantum rank feature releases soon but that seems like it's been consistently pushed aside due to complexity

deft mauve Jun 11, 2025, 12:35 AM

#

dense quarry This one's a no. Because of current Steamodded limitations, it only works with M...

Well, it is still impressive the way it is right now. As from quantum ranks, I believe Local Thunk mentioned that Wild Card will be changed, so I expect quantum ranks may be introduced straight to the base game.

dense quarry Jun 11, 2025, 12:36 AM

#

As hopeful as I am for that to be a vanilla feature, it'll probably end up so hardcoded that it won't work well for modded applications

dense quarry Jun 11, 2025, 12:36 AM

#

honest totem also gutbuster crahsed when I tried to reset the run

I forgot to change its loading method off of its old name fuck

dense quarry Jun 11, 2025, 12:38 AM

Nice, i had a problem with secret society. While it changes the chip value of ranks, it also changes the "sort" in hand (now the little numbers are at the right of the hand). But this change is bugged, and it persist between runs! (i had to restart the game to go back to normal). It also do some weird things with the sort by suit

dense quarry Jun 12, 2025, 4:32 AM

You know what, I never considered that edge case but it makes complete sense for it to be that way. Thank you for bringing my attention to this

Thinking more about it, it'd probably be useful to have some sort of SMODS-ended capability for this (i.e. a config option for on the fly checking if a card should be used or added from a booster pack). Not entirely sure how I would go about making that sort of PR since I very much piggybacked off of other mods to get this implementation to work

tardy pecan Jun 15, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

dense quarry Thinking more about it, it'd probably be useful to have some sort of SMODS-ended...

I think there's something called can_select or something in smods booster

#

Or its a consumable thing idr

dense quarry Jun 15, 2025, 8:56 PM

Ah so there is. How new is this?

tardy pecan Jun 15, 2025, 9:15 PM

Ig like a few weeks, it's somewhat recent ig?

#

Ok back on pc, it's called can_select_from_booster

#

And it's a consu thing, not a booster one

dense quarry Jun 15, 2025, 9:16 PM

Looks like it's both actually. This is from Booster documentation

so, I was developing my mod and encountered an issue when duplicating a joker that referenced another joker. It caused a stack overflow because when duplicating the "ability" balala tries to duplicate a table if it encounters one, so the joker has another joker which I think stores the card area which stores the original joker, and so on.... And I encountered the same issue with gutbuster just now (and presumably zombie but I haven't tried)

dense quarry Jun 19, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

honest totem Oh, I mean copying it with ankh during a round

I'm looking further into this and it's actually a Gutbuster-unique issue. Zombie and Bootleg both handle their card references in a global variable since their targets should always be the same, but Gutbusters each have references to their own cards that they generate, thus causing the crash. I figured out a fix for it, but I thought you might've been interested in the inner workings of it :D

honest totem Jun 19, 2025, 9:54 PM

ohh yeah 2 gutbusters cant reference the same issue, its a similar problem but mine is a copy joker so I had to retain the copyee

dense quarry That's better

ohh so this works for any maximus joker with a card, nice future proofing

dense quarry Jun 19, 2025, 10:00 PM

It literally only does this for Gutbuster at current (as like I said, zombie and bootleg do it slightly differently), but like you said, futureproofing

uhhh is it. supposed to work like that are these the intended values? or is.

wait oh god i think unstable's 161 card is affecting this 😂

#

okay thats a funny interaction

#

how the hell did you code this for it to factor in custom ranks from other mods

actual witchcraft /pos

#

but also uh

this might not be a good interaction

#

ok it actually works like that wow what the fuck

#

on one hand its cool that it works like this on the other hand the existence of the 161 card which has +161 chips makes this kinda busted as it gives +300 to everything in your starting deck and to most things since its unlikely you'll willingly take a 161 with this joker

#

for reference, the 161 of spades

#

which gives +161 chips

open ferry Aug 26, 2025, 2:11 PM

#

open ferry on one hand its cool that it works like this on the other hand the existence of...

although hmm

ranks 26-160 dont exist, so should it be just doing (161-rank)?

not sure if i’d consider that a “swap”

#

a proper swap would probably swap 2 with…
hm
also 11?
because theres about the same cards added below 2 as there are added above ace

#

joker perished before i could see what the heck it does to decimal ranks but now im really curious. what would it do

dense quarry Aug 26, 2025, 3:18 PM

#

The way I was able to do that was through some really weird predictive math. This is the first time I’ve seen it get used with custom ranks and I’m glad it actually still works. As for stuff like Unstable cards, since that’s not really somehing I’ve balanced around in Maximus due to them not existing there, I will probably leave it
