[stone glacier]

you can test custom block definitions with the button in options

custom block guide is at my server.. here https://discord.com/channels/1434189284511973518/1435671208485191711

-# forgot something lol

[amber bison]

this seems pretty interesting

[stone glacier]

thank you!

[amber bison]

how stable is it rn? Does it have crossmod compat or is it just vanilla stuff for now

oh wait I think you already said custom blocks so

[stone glacier]

very early in development

[amber bison]

ah I see

regardless, this is a very interesting project

[stone glacier]

like users can make custom blocks and choose what code it generates based on input

[amber bison]

interesting

honestly I think this looks like a very cool alternative to jokerforge so I might give this a shot

[stone glacier]

Thanks lol

suggestions are always welcome!

[stone glacier]

like you can easily change the lua field to [[a]] and the generator replaces all double bracket stuff like that with the input of the a field in fields if it exists, like this is part of the block definition snippet of the properties block in the General category

            lua: 'loc_txt = { name = "[[a]]", text = {"[[b]]"} },\n',
            fields: [
                { name: 'a', label: 'Name', type: 'text' },
                { name: 'b', label: 'Text', type: 'text' }
            ],

-# code yap ^

yall can report bugs and whatnot here or here

[teal sinew]

if possible you should probably add a default project that automatically loads to teach a new user about how to use it

also you cant make a oops all 6 like card

there sohuld also be blocks to change chances so we can do that

[teal sinew]

also wait if add mult = 4 is +4 mult then what the hell is x0.1 mult

[modest dagger]

xmult = 0.1

[stone glacier]

well you get xmult=0.1?

[stone glacier]

Good idea.

[stone glacier]

new stuff

[faint oasis]

where is this?

[stone glacier]

wdym?

like how can you make a custom block? @faint oasis

[faint oasis]

yea

[stone glacier]

go to options and then there's a button somewhere labeled 'test custom block'

[faint oasis]

how do i use it

[stone glacier]

https://discord.com/channels/1434189284511973518/1435671208485191711

[faint oasis]

this is in the server i presume

[stone glacier]

yar

bugfixes and stuff

[teal sinew]

@stone glacier sorry for ping but is it possible to make oops all 6 type cards yet

[stone glacier]

Oh not yet.

I'll get right to it

[teal sinew]

it should probably be possible to change both sides of the chances

[faint oasis]

ok i still do not get how to make custom blocks, like how are you gonna make it do custom stuff

[robust cloak]

can i add to joker ^mult or ^chips?

[stone glacier]

Well what i meant by you have the ability to make custom blocks now is you can make a block like Remove all tags or get the value of the current round, etc.. just like the blocks you already have

but more

[stone glacier]

Not yet, reminder, Talisman would be required later though.

[robust cloak]

also, do u have git repo? i think jokerblocks can be hosted on github pages

[stone glacier]

Oh I keep forgetting, not yet.

[stone glacier]

Yeah

[stone glacier]

You can look in the block_defs.js script at ./src/ for reference

[stone glacier]

Now you can

Example Project: (you can load this project from options btw.)

[stone glacier]

We finally got a repo!! No need for downloading anymore! Here's the link

[stone glacier]

server link

[atomic acorn]

reminds me more of scratch. i like it

[stone glacier]

yeah it uses the same exact renderer and library scratch uses 😭😭

[atomic acorn]

based

[bitter vault]

feel free to steal whatever you want from the code generation or ui of joker forge for joker blocks, a lot of the overall architecture could be improved but when i originally designed it i had nothing to base it off

i will watch this project with great interest...

[idle shoal]

Send a perma invite 😭

[stone glacier]

oh

i tried before

🤷

https://discord.gg/c3Q9jUFZtd

I should probably mention the link to the JokerBlocks project, it's here

Sage

Nvm

[charred raft]

do you still work on ts, i feel like it hasnt changed in a while

i was hoping it would get updated more since its a pretty great alternative to joker forge imo

[stone glacier]

Wow, thanks.

[stone glacier]

Uh not really

I might, though

It's super easy to add stuff (blocks).

I just hadn't gotten the motivation/energy yet.

[charred raft]

I see

[stone glacier]

If y'all have any ideas, I might as well.

[slate owl]

this is awesome

[charred raft]

joker blocks getting action?

[stone glacier]

next week I'll have much more free time and I think it's a good decision to work on this some more.

[charred raft]

I meant like

Users

Theres a new person in the thread for the first time in a billion years

[stone glacier]

v1.0.1a

minor update; 12 changes

• changed tooltip of Index () of [] block
• added Jokers list to Index () of [] block
• added Consumeables list to Index () of [] block
• changed color of () modulo () block to green like the other math blocks
• changed tooltip of Random Rank block
• changed tooltip of Random Suit block
• added Special Operation (Math Function) block
• success message for clear data removed
• added (String) contains (String) block
• added letter (Number) of (String) block
• added join (String) (String) block (Concatenate block)
• Fixed naming inconsistency: the Game Value was called 'Money', but in the 'Change [Game Value] by [Number]' block it was called 'Dollars'. Now the Game Value is consistently named 'Dollars' everywhere.

[stone glacier]

oh

lol

[stone glacier]

What other values should I add to the Card Property block?
All I have is sell value so far.
(the upcoming block that could get the sell value of a Joker, per se.)

[charred raft]

Buy cost probably

[stone glacier]

-# uh how do you get that again?; in actual code

[charred raft]

Card.cost

[stone glacier]

is there a list of these values somewhere on the wiki?

[charred raft]

Dont think so?

[stone glacier]

also is rarity just Card.rarity?

[charred raft]

Card.config.center.rarity

[stone glacier]

Idk i feel like i've seen something like it

[charred raft]

But for checking if a card is a rarity you should do Card:is_rarity(key)

[stone glacier]

why not just use Card.config.center.rarity == key?

[charred raft]

I have no idea

probably hooking i guess

[stone glacier]

do playing cards have a .config.center.key value?

[charred raft]

yes

though for checking enhancements it should be SMODS.has_enhancement(card, key)

[stone glacier]

how do you check if a consumeable is a tarot/planet/etc ?

[charred raft]

card.ability.set

Which will be identical to the set defined on the prototype object

Which means you can use it to check for any card type

[stone glacier]

so you mean even jokers/playing cards have card.ability.set values?

[charred raft]

Yes

All cards have one

Vouchers and boosters too because theyre also cards

[stone glacier]

how do you get the rank/suit of a playing card?

[charred raft]

the suit key is in card.base.suit (should use card:is_suit(key) instead for checks) rank key in card.base.value, and id in card.base.id (should use card:get_id() for this instead)

[stone glacier]

same question here for this but why are we using card:is_xxx(key)

dk?

[charred raft]

for suits its because well

Suitless cards dont work properly without it (card.base.suit isnt changed)

Smeared joker uses it

theres not an is_xxx for everything but there are quite a lot

get_id is also for rankless cards mainly in vanilla to make them actually not count as any rank

Similarly is_face exists because of pareidolia if i had to guess

And so debuffed cards dont count as face cards unless from_boss is true

Also highly recommend you take a look at vanillaremade to see how vanilla jokers would be implemented in steamodded

[stone glacier]

does is_face take any arguments?

[charred raft]

Yeah

its Card:is_face(from_boss)

[stone glacier]

what's that for?

[charred raft]

Since normally face cards do not count as such when debuffed, from_boss bypasses the debuff so the debuff doesnt toggle every time it recalculates (since otherwise the already debuffed ones wouldnt be face cards, and therefore would be undebuffed)

[stone glacier]

Ah 👍

[stone glacier]

for key do you do "prefixIforgot_polychrome" or "polychrome"

I'm presuming the former

but what's the prefix?

oh it's m_ for enhancements, nvm

[charred raft]

e_polychrome

its m_ for enhancements
