[narrow pollen]

that's all

[slow ocean]

oh no i get what you mean

my only lament is not being able to put a good "joker" text on there (its on there but hidden)

drawing 100+ jonkers have taught me many ways to fit in joker but that was really hard

[random sleet]

less hidden than hiking trip

[narrow pollen]

you could replace the corner mickey with a jester hat and put a "J" there

[slow ocean]

hiking trips joker text is my magnum opus

[unkempt thicket]

is there a way to get other jokers extras by name? (all jokers, "extra.name" by specific name)

inside a joker

[hallow forge]

anyone else ever get an issue similar to this? I overrode Card:generate_UIBox_ability_table and am not sure why this broke.

it's only on cards with seals and is only visual

[crisp coral]

steamodded issue

[hallow forge]

okay

[random sleet]

trying to not using injection issue

[loud citrus]

GOOD NEWS
I FINALLY GOT THE DISCARD TRACKING TO WORK!!!!!!

I used code from faceless joker but still required a lot of changes to fit my needs :)

But now I can use this to track the exact discards that happen

[unkempt thicket]

is there a way to get other jokers extras by name (all jokers, "extra.name" by specific name) inside a joker?

[royal ether]

collection pages work!

chatroom how come every time i answer a balamod question the answer is always "that is a steamodded mod" or "that is because you have steamodded installed"

[random sleet]

i mean we get people trying to run balamod mods on steamodded too so

[royal ether]

true...

[gaunt thistle]

I'm thinking about a dn-substitution patch next, what do you guys think?

[royal ether]

susge

[gaunt thistle]

it would be super useful, especially for making module injection easier

I just need to wrangle the lua runtime

sadge

[random sleet]

none of those words are in the bible (what are you talking about)

[gaunt thistle]

module injection let's you inject entire lua source trees as a module, you can see how I used it in nativefs

[random sleet]

thac module names are quickly spiralling out of control

[gaunt thistle]

dn-substitution is legit meant for that

[loud citrus]

So when I take ownership of something, do I have to fill everything out like it's my joker?

[random sleet]

interesting. i've just been using NFS stuff to load em

[gaunt thistle]

yeah it's pretty useful

but it's a pretty complex feature

not excited for that :-(

[random sleet]

it sounds interesting

[gaunt thistle]

yeah, I just hope people find it useful

it is pretty interesting though. dn-substitution was one of the cooler topics we covered in my uni courses

[random sleet]

it might be useful if i need to load a module before SMODS init time, but im not sure if SMODS 1.0 features will change that
(i cant access the mod's filepath through SMODS features prior to init, iirc?)

though consequently i dont know why i would need to do that exactly

[gaunt thistle]

ah dn-substitution won't help you with that

[mellow sable]

so hilarious how unbalanced some of these ideas are

[narrow pollen]

excuse me

hwat

[royal ether]

that better be additive xmult and not multiplicative xmult

[long gust]

additive xmult? how does- what

[random sleet]

exotic rarity jokers...

[river fern]

xchips doesnt exist tho right

[royal ether]

2 applications of X5 mult = X10 mult vs X25 mult

[mellow sable]

it does now

[mellow sable]

haven't decided yet

multiplicative makes more sense intuitively though

[royal ether]

true

cryptid has no balance anyways might as well make it multiplicative tbh

[random sleet]

so you're saying i should make a lovely patch for xchips

[slow ocean]

jellymod did

[narrow pollen]

i think my fake localization in enhanceAPI can support it

[wild gyro]

its probably a good thing exotics can only be found from destroying all other jokers

[edgy reef]

Maybe trying to make retriggering joker API was a mistake

I've been battling this for a hour and a half

[random sleet]

YUP its a PAIN

i was briefly trying to make a joker stamp retrigger jokers....

[gaunt thistle]

just one forward slash btw

not two

and you need it in front of each { and }

[random sleet]

thats a backslash

[gaunt thistle]

sorry yeah, back

does it work if you put it into regexr?

[mellow sable]

might be a bit hard to see in this pic but this joker has 3 layers

[edgy reef]

I swear to god

[mellow sable]

this temp art is REALLY bad so if anyone can make a speed draw a good 3-layered idea then I can try it

[random sleet]

soul_soul_pos

[mellow sable]

no, soul_pos.extra

[wild gyro]

whats the gray thing

[mellow sable]

idk

[crisp coral]

soul_soul_soul_pos

[gaunt thistle]

just hang on for a bit, you're fighting regex not lovely. I can look at your patch in the morning and fix it up.

[edgy reef]

I've nefer had to deal with regex before

[random sleet]

as does everyone who uses regex

[edgy reef]

Actually

[gaunt thistle]

in general I recommend explicitly matching for whitespace characters (like how you match for the indent) at the start

[edgy reef]

I don't even know wtf it is

xdd

[gaunt thistle]

regex is incredible but confusing

please please please use https://regexr.com to rest your patterns

paste the text (plus some around it) that you want to match, then write a pattern

it's so much easier and expressive than debugging via lovely

[random sleet]

ugh i lost track of it and discord search is being obtuse as usual
someone previously mentioned how to check if a card is in the collection screen, anyone know something about that?

[edgy reef]

Been trying to work with this but it seems like it has different syntax for some reason

Take this

Works in there, flashes me an error when loading

[gaunt thistle]

paste your patch here real quick

and try it here too https://rustexp.lpil.uk/

I'm still getting used to the weird quirks of the rust regex engine

[gaunt thistle]

and also paste the code that you used in regexr

[edgy reef]

Tab space for the card_eval_status_text is wonky

[gaunt thistle]

yeah, use \s* instead

that'll match all whitespace chars

also I wonder if the leading newline in the pattern is breaking things

[rough furnace]

it will actually match 0+ whitespace charactars

[gaunt thistle]

^ this is true

\s+ for 1 or more

or \s{5} if you need 5

iirc at least

[edgy reef]

ohhh

[gaunt thistle]

@edgy reef try this ```toml
[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
dump_lua = true
priority = 0

[[patches]]
[patches.regex]
target = "functions/state_events.lua"
pattern = "(?<indent>[\t ]*)for i=1, #G.jokers.cards + #G.consumeables.cards do"
position = "after"
line_prepend = "$indent"
payload = '''
local reps = {1}
local j = 1
while j <= #reps do
if reps[j] ~= 1 then
card_eval_status_text((reps[j].jokers or reps[j].seals).card, 'jokers', nil, nil, nil, (reps[j].jokers or reps[j].seals))
percent = percent + percent_delta
end
'''

[[patches]]
[patches.regex]
target = "functions/state_events.lua"
pattern = '''(?<indent>[\t ]*)card_eval_status_text(_card, 'jokers', nil, percent, nil,
{message = localize{type='variable',key='a_xmult',vars={edition_effects.jokers.x_mult_mod}},
x_mult_mod = edition_effects.jokers.x_mult_mod,
colour = G.C.EDITION,
edition = true})
end
percent = percent+percent_delta
end
'''
position = "after"
line_prepend = "$indent"
payload = '''
if reps[j] == 1 then
--From Joker
for j=1, #G.jokers.cards do
--calculate the joker effects
local eval = eval_card(G.jokers.cards[j], {cardarea = G.hand, full_hand = G.play.cards, scoring_hand = scoring_hand, scoring_name = text, poker_hands = poker_hands, other_card = G.hand.cards[i], joker_repetition = true, card_effects = effects})
if next(eval) then
for h = 1, eval.jokers.repetitions do
reps[#reps+1] = eval
end
end
end
end
'''

the only difference is that I removed the leading newline on the second pattern

it's worth a shot but I'm pretty sure that wont fix your problem

[edgy reef]

Sadly no

[gaunt thistle]

so going over general regex syntax problems, you can't match reserved characters like * . + (){} without a \

so prepend all +, ., ( and ) with \

UNLESS you're using those characters for a regex thing

[random sleet]

are standard multiline matches gonna be a thing? this sounds like a headache

(and/or are already a thing)

[crisp coral]

dear god

[unkempt thicket]

can i get a thing from the extras in all jokers, and put it in a list?

[gaunt thistle]

I mean there are ways to make this less painful, most of the time it's not really required to a pattern this complex

[edgy reef]

Almost every other context wouldn't need to do this

But I need to maneuver around a field of end statements

[edgy reef]

I just did that and checked with the regex reader website, checks on there but throws this at me when loading.

0-3 for regex

[gaunt thistle]

try this instead (?<indent>[\t ]*)card_eval_status_text.*\n.*type='variable'.*\n.*x_mult_mod.*\n.*colour = G\.C\.EDITION.*\n.*edition = true[\s\S]*end\n[\s\S]*

for your pattern

and if that isn't specific enough add additional info until it is :-)

[edgy reef]

The function is screwed since this doesn't cover the percent = percent+percent_delta end part but WE HAVE A MAAATCH

[gaunt thistle]

nice!

https://regexr.com/7vk97

[edgy reef]

Also this is due to the 1st patch apparently

[gaunt thistle]

ah gotcha

same sorta deal, make sure you're escaping special characters "(?<indent>[\t ]*)for i=1, #G\.jokers\.cards \+ #G\.consumeables\.cards do"

[gaunt thistle]

the power of regex is that you can write a pattern that doesn't really care about the specifics

instead you can write a pattern that cares only about the most minimal amount of information required to make a unique match

[gaunt thistle]

this is due to a couple of reasons, some technical limitations, some because I'm opinionated

[random sleet]

what

[gaunt thistle]

it's mostly related to dn though

[random sleet]

sorry i got distracted and lost any train of thought from that topic whats going on

[gaunt thistle]

about what?

oh dn?

[mellow crag]

Gooooood morning

[random sleet]

i just meant non-regex multiline matches

heya feder

[gaunt thistle]

yeah, it's probably something that I'll implement later down the line

[random sleet]

sick

[gaunt thistle]

gonna focus on dn first though

[random sleet]

hopefully thats cool when it happens i guess, my schooling didnt cover it haha

[mellow crag]

What are you guys doing?

[edgy reef]

Trying to win a war against regex syntax

[random sleet]

mr lovely is making lovely do more things
flowwey is doing joker retriggers
im trying to make the next release of Thac not riddled with garbage code

speaking of did you get hand pages done

[mellow crag]

Where are my numbers???

[unkempt thicket]

GONE

[crisp coral]

literally only usable on the fragile challenge

lmao

and some other downside jokers too but that's more niche

[random sleet]

theres probably some other stuff throughout mods, but yea

[unkempt thicket]

there's more dice, I'm just tryna figure out denominator stuff.

[random sleet]

denominators arent handled consistently

[unkempt thicket]

ik

[mellow crag]

Okay guys

mod idea

[random sleet]

hit me

[mellow crag]

Multiversal Jokers

basically variations of vanilla jokers from the multiverse

[random sleet]

gacha alt universe lookin ass

[edgy reef]

Still giving me the same error

[mellow crag]

like a suit joker that gives you chips instead of mult

[random sleet]

i've been telling people, alt art versions of vanilla things

[mellow crag]

or other changes to vanilla jokers

[random sleet]

like i really wanna do stuff like that with the subtitle thing

Lusty Joker (Alt Art) that gives chips instead

[mellow crag]

I like the idea of multiverse variant

idk why

[random sleet]

the subtitle can be whatever your heart desires

i think Aure was looking at putting them in smods

[hallow forge]

debating on adding Blackjack Straight or not, it's technically possible with the assistance of jokers

[random sleet]

hows blackjack hands work?
also is this in feder's cool awesome hand API

[hallow forge]

if the hand sums to 21 its a blackjack

Natural is an Ace and 10/face card and doesn't count as a blackjack hand

[loud citrus]

This is so goofy, and I love it!

[hallow forge]

blackjack three must be that the blackjack is obtained with the three of the kind and only teh three of a kind. aka 3 7s

i def need to hide Blackjack Flush House tho since it requires duplicate cards

[loud citrus]

I need help

It says that j_joker_test is a nil value, and I don't understand why.

[random sleet]

you're registering it as j_testy

the slug is prepended with j_

and then thats put in SMODS.Jokers

[loud citrus]

OHHHH
Thank you so much!

[hallow forge]

no.

[crisp coral]

instead of buying jokers you buy gacha tickets

10 pulls for a guaranteed uncommon

[edgy reef]

uhhhh, what?

Why are you here

[hallow forge]

does the Blackjack Flush House look balanced, i felt it was harder to get than Flush Five and ranked it higher.

[edgy reef]

@gaunt thistle The injection isn't at the correct position

[random sleet]

is a blackjack house even possible?

[hallow forge]

yup

3 3's and 2 6's or 3 5's and 2 3's

those are the only ones

[random sleet]

hack eating good

[loud citrus]

How do I have a modded joker show it's current chips or mult, like runner for example

[random sleet]

you'll need a loc_def function

[hallow forge]

oh that is so good for blackjacks

since they either demand low ranks or playing less than 5 cards

[random sleet]

the loc_def function will have to return the values you need in the loc_txt
then in the loc_txt, use #1#, #2#, or any number to reference the variables from loc_def

[hallow forge]

imagine trying a Natural Build

[random sleet]

blackjacks out here making king build worse by making everything else as powerful as it

180x20 seems odd given the other secret hands are pretty rigidly (n*10)x(n)

[hallow forge]

oh really

i didn't even notice that

[random sleet]

yeah 5oak is 120x12, flush house is 140x14, flush five is 160x16

[hallow forge]

180x18 it is then

[random sleet]

but, small sample size, so do as you like lol

[hallow forge]

i like patterns

[random sleet]

me when i cant stop noticing patterns

but i mean here's my hands

[hallow forge]

after i add planets for these im gonna try making a natural build

[loud citrus]

I'm definitely missing something 😅

[random sleet]

you'll need a loc_def function, similar to the calculate one

it takes one argument which is the card itself

my code has the process somewhat automated but this is roughly what a function of this sort will look like

(i havent actually made a joker before im just the Consumables Guy)

[hallow forge]

maybe i could add a blind which demands hands less or equal to than 21.

[random sleet]

speaking of, @mellow crag do you happen to have Page-d Hand API you could send me this is getting ridiculous

[mellow crag]

yes

[slow ocean]

gm feder

[mellow crag]

good morning Lyman!

[random sleet]

thats better

only two "standard" hands to be seen, all is well in the world

[hallow forge]

imagine combining that with blackjack, results would be ridiculous

[random sleet]

well fortunately, im pretty sure BlazeJack is impossible

[hallow forge]

it is

50 is not 21

[random sleet]

given that a Blaze is 5 face cards
Blackjack Skeet... maybe?

[queen scroll]

wait can i use this for hand of six?

[random sleet]

ask feder

hand api isnt my thing :)

[queen scroll]

oh ok

[hallow forge]

also i totally used HandofSix code to make the blackjack stuff, probs gonna recode/heavily adjust the code it so im not just stealing

[random sleet]

oh yeah actually blackjack skeet is possible i think? (2-3-4-5-9 should be valid for both hand types)

[queen scroll]

i really do not care

[hallow forge]

oh okay then

[random sleet]

no wait thats too much for a blackjack

[queen scroll]

that was my first mod anyway, i didn’t put too much effort into making the code super well

[hallow forge]

hands of 5 are super hand to make into blackjacks

well not too hard

[random sleet]

skeet isnt compatible with four fingers though

[hallow forge]

because they out rank pair and two pair

im not counting hands only possible with jokers

[random sleet]

so yeah blackjack skeet is out of the question

im tempted to make Straight Flushblaze possible

[hallow forge]

just make every set of cards it's own hand

[random sleet]

sure

[rough furnace]

Pareodolia

[hallow forge]

makes sense

1 and 0 lol

[loud citrus]

I'm stumped :(
Is there any more code that I can look at that would help?

[edgy reef]

I DID IT

TAKE THAT REGEX

[mellow crag]

Nice!

[unkempt thicket]

i also did a thing im excited about

[hallow forge]

you forgot to retrigger Test Joker

[edgy reef]

Test Joker is retriggering itself

[unkempt thicket]

i got the denomators able to change :0

[hallow forge]

never end the play

[sweet turret]

is there a non-texturepack method to modify how a vanilla card looks?

[hallow forge]

random seeds have been removed to avoid gambling addictions

[random sleet]

youd have to take ownership of the card, then either give it different atlas and pos values or register a new sprite with the same slug (and probably also change pos values)

[sweet turret]

i was fearing that, thanks

[unkempt thicket]

ITS WORKING :0

screenshots taken a blind apart

[random sleet]

hello yes i would like a 245 in 256 chance.

[unkempt thicket]

btw the dice

with that i bid the modding chat a good night

[hallow forge]

so they are all 50%

[random sleet]

how are you getting 50% out of that lol

[mellow crag]

https://gyazo.com/8f02f68561f589a2d3cfee7c21d28b48.mp4

Well...

[hallow forge]

avergae probability is 50%

i just realized something about blackjack, i have to account fro weird ace rules

[frosty dock]

rebuff jumpscare

[hallow forge]

managed to forget those somehow

[mellow crag]

what about split rules?

[random sleet]

is this a blackjack

[hallow forge]

yup

[hallow forge]

no

not doing that

only 1 hand

[night pagoda]

what are dollars & mult for in blind api?

[random sleet]

would blackjack count 0s

[mellow crag]

if the hand has 2 8's, does it have the potential to split?

[hallow forge]

that would involve 2 hands

no

no splitting.

[random sleet]

joker that lets you split

[mellow crag]

if you have 10,10,A,A, that's a blackjack with a split technically

[hallow forge]

but you only have 1 hand in balatro

so, no

[frosty dock]

dollars is reward money

mult is required score relative to base

[night pagoda]

ohhh gotcha thanks

[frosty dock]

so 2 on most normal boss blinds, 1 on the needle, 4 on the wall, 6 on violet vessel

[random sleet]

looking forward to playing this blackjack flush

[frosty dock]

lmao

D&DG levels of cursed

[hallow forge]

nope

that's four of a kind

[random sleet]

blackjack flush is below 4oak?

[hallow forge]

yes

[unreal nacelle]

This is making my brain hurt... How is that possible?

[random sleet]

cringe ngl

[broken vine]

21 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 /s

[hallow forge]

blackjack flush simply isn't hard enough to be above 4 of a kind

[broken vine]

but also, 0 cards are kinda hilarious and should be it's own thing

[unreal nacelle]

I meant as in 'How do you get a 21 and four 0s'

[random sleet]

yeah its probably fine

[frosty dock]

gotta make it a straight blackjack flush

[hallow forge]

nope

straights aren't blackjacks without jokers

if you find a counterexample i'll add straight blackjack

[frosty dock]

23457 with shortcut

[hallow forge]

without jokers

[frosty dock]

sure sure it's not possible with no jokers

[random sleet]

omw to add 2.5 and 3.5

2.5-3.5-4-5-6

[frosty dock]

hell yeah

why's the restriction without jokers though

[mellow crag]

yessssssssss

[hallow forge]

flush four doesn't exist

[random sleet]

omw to make flush four

[broken vine]

20 + .25 + .25 +.25 +.25

[frosty dock]

who even said flush four

[mellow crag]

@random sleet are you adding half-cards?

[random sleet]

no lmao

[frosty dock]

DankerRanks

[mellow crag]

we can do negative ranks, but the game itself does not like negative chips

time to hack it out!

BTW @random sleet could you send me dankranks?

i have no idea how to add ranks XD

[random sleet]

lol

[hallow forge]

yay

[mellow crag]

BTW you might wanna update it to the poker hand api in 1.0

[hallow forge]

what?

[random sleet]

points at outstretched hand smods 1.0 when

(ignore that i have handapi)

[mellow crag]

i have wrote an API to add new poker hands, which will be added to steamodded 1.0

[hallow forge]

this works too

3 3's and 2 A's is a blackjack house. so is 3 A's and 2 4's and 3 A's and 2 9's

this makes blackjack flush house a good bit less rare

[frosty dock]

it won't be if you don't submit a PR for it

[mellow crag]

I am not sure how to send it to you in a good way. Should i mak a small lovely patch for it?

[frosty dock]

I mean with the amount of processing involved on my end (especially to the form of APIs), it doesn't matter super much how you send it

but yeah a lovely patch sounds good

[mellow crag]

While doing that, I made this XD

[frosty dock]

half a spade

now does it strength to a 1.5

[mellow crag]

?

[random sleet]

half a car.....

[errant gale]

hey i've been trying to get the deck creator mod on thunderstore to work and it just gives me an error, steammodded lovely and nativefs alone work, but whenever i add deck creator it fucks it up. can i copy paste the error it gives me here? it's kinda long

sorry if this isn't the right channel to ask for troubleshooting

[night pagoda]

How do I change bg color of a blind?

[mellow crag]

oh no

oh no no no no no no no no no

i accidentally deleted the mod dependency and icon patch

oh no no no

[broken vine]

HAHA YES

[mellow crag]

that's not good

[random sleet]

well time to rewrite it

[mellow crag]

retrieved it

[random sleet]

whew

i really wasnt expecting to pop off so hard with the minor arcana suits these look pretty sweet

[hallow forge]

They look quite nice

[random sleet]

(we dont talk about face cards)

[short surge]

bobm but hot girl

[random sleet]

speaking of face cards

[short surge]

how many people are making more suits

I got confused from time to time

so many amazing suits

[random sleet]

i have minor arcana and homestuck aspects as suits, firch has fleurons and halberds in bunco, aure has stars and moons in sixsuits, snow has ink and color, and then there's sixty suits and six hundred suits

[night pagoda]

I'm not sure why but my blind background color is defaut/main menu color

however the ui is colored properly

[short surge]

imagine installing all of them

[short surge]

I tried to play around with that before, and it keeps switching off

[night pagoda]

is that steamodded's thing?

[short surge]

i think per hand played

[mellow crag]

Ummmm @frosty dock I think there's a really big issue with making the consumable tab

[hallow forge]

Should I buff natural or is the current fair, the hand feels pretty useless rn

[night pagoda]

well I haven't played a single hand tbh

[mellow crag]

that mod is supposed to run last, and having it inside steamodded makes it load first

which means it will not work

[night pagoda]

I just entered the blind and it's already that color

[short surge]

my screen recording is broken, but otherwise i can show you what i meant

[random sleet]

make it init itself after the initmods thing

[mellow crag]

it has hooks

[night pagoda]

It feels like I made blind and literally nothing works aside from the blind appearing XD

Debuffs also do not work and feels like they do not even get called

Debug message doesn't print anywhere

[frosty dock]

ugh what

[night pagoda]

oops that debug message is not even in the funciton 🤦‍♂️

[crisp coral]

bobm but womn,,,

[night pagoda]

still doesn't print lmao

[mellow crag]

the patch works by patching the function after all of the other mods patched it, which means that it will run last

[frosty dock]

are you using priority?

[random sleet]

woooo refactor time

[mellow crag]

yes

[frosty dock]

high values load last

[mellow crag]

yup

[frosty dock]

are you sure it executes first, or does it just get found first by the loader?

[mellow crag]

when it's loaded into base steamodded, it's loaded first

[frosty dock]

oh, that

I'll find another way, I already have something in mind

[mellow crag]

i see, so for my PR i will have the hand API, tag API, dependency checks, and mod icons

We will need to figure out how to load the sprites into the game though

[frosty dock]

I'll drop you the new API structure I'm working on in DMs, so you can see how it functions

[random sleet]

API API (real)

[night pagoda]

wait wtf are finisher boss blinds supposed to have this bg?

[mellow crag]

ohhh i see which one you are talking about

the one with the table?

[frosty dock]

actually

[mellow crag]

i wrote it the old fashioned way currently

[frosty dock]

you don't need to adapt to it if you don't want to, it'll just spare you a lot of redundacies

[night pagoda]

whattt, that's true, actually very lame

Now I want to make a thing that reenables bg color for finishers

[random sleet]

thoughts on this look for minor arcana face cards?

[broken vine]

oh that's a lovely color scheme

[short surge]

tarot infused!

[shell timber]

that's fun

[random sleet]

or is a more subtle effect better

[short surge]

subtled one might work better with enhancement?

since it becomes transparent afterwards (I assume)

[random sleet]

ehhhhh

[broken vine]

i'd go darker just because it's more striking

enhancements kinda muddy up a card visual-wise so imo i wouldn't factor in enhancements

[silent sinew]

my dumb attempt at localizing to do list

"buy jeans, get some yogurt, work at the office, fix the curtains, alcohol" and the first character on each line roughly spells out "joker" in japanese

[random sleet]

compare

[broken vine]

ooh yeah. that dark gold contrasting with the emerald green pops.

[night pagoda]

black...

looks kinda cool ingame actually, lacks rain a bit

win

[mellow crag]

niiiice

what suits are tehse?

[random sleet]

minor arcana (sorry i screwed up some things)

cups/wands/coins/swords

since they're tarot and im nowhere near good enough to make my own face cards, i figured just combine tarot background with the face cards

[loud citrus]

What's the value that tracks how much money you currently have?

[frosty dock]

how's this for hijacking card type badges?

[frosty dock]

G.GAME.dollars

[dim ice]

hey guys do you know what value tracks the amount of chips during a hand?

[random sleet]

hand_chips

[dim ice]

thanks

[hallow forge]

k imma just make up planets because finding actual planets is too annoying

[night pagoda]

trying to incorporate more colors so they will actually be unique from regular boss blinds

[random sleet]

trippy

[night pagoda]

woah

I actually kinda enjoy that

crimson heart looks boring lmao

[hallow forge]

i just had a horrible idea, blind where you cannot overshoot or else you lose.

[mellow crag]

I have no idea why I did this

[random sleet]

that is awful
maybe it should be like set money to $0 or something

gives some lasting negative effect but doesnt Just Kill You

[hallow forge]

i said it was a horrible idea

[bitter sand]

if you overshoot by x% you lose because it would be almost impossible to get the exact number

[odd dock]

thats so pretty

crimson heart and vv screenshots look like they have yellow filter on them

[silent sinew]

it's (mostly) done

there are a couple jokers i forgot but i'll post it sometime tomorrow

hopefully the translations that arent derived from the official names are like. not shit

[zealous glen]

Do you have the code for this on GitHub?

[zealous glen]

I do remember seeing that idea for a Blind during the demo

I can’t remember if it was mine or someone else’s

[silent sinew]

also i tried to do another "pun" with ride the bus

[zealous glen]

Ah, I suggested something similar. The Pauper: Debuffs all cards if the player has $11 or more https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1164969920182890516

[silent sinew]

since the word for "road" is in the word for "clown" (also used for buffoon packs) i made the "route 211A" text "clown road"

if my translations SUCK then i'll be embarrassed but it was still fun to practice the typography

actually i should probably also look through the localizations thread for japanese and use some of the things that have been mentioned there

[hallow forge]

funny bug

[zealous glen]

Blackjack as a hand. Interesting

just for clariity an Ace by itself is not a blackjack

[dim ice]

hey do you guys know how to copy a card like dna but change the suit?

[odd dock]

you can't just do what dna does then change the suit after?

[dim ice]

im not really sure on how to do that

[bitter sand]

the tooth code is like that

and the oryx code looks like this

(i know i'm coding in a f- txt file)

if only there was an alchemist to tell me how his code works 😂

(for those who don't know i want to do a blind that make you lose 1$ per card discarded)

[zealous glen]

ease_dollars changes your cash

[bitter sand]

where do i put it ?

[zealous glen]

I don’t know how Blinds work, but Tooth creates an event to control when the animation and sound plays too, as well as marking its ability as triggered

You can hook the function that processes Blind effects or check if the API helps

Maybe another mod that has Blinds

[bitter sand]

i will check other mods but before that i gonna check if the river get added correctly

not the good skin

what should i modify ?

i tried messing with these value but nothing worked

tried 34, 68 : 68, 34 : 0, 0 : 68, 68

[zealous glen]

I think that’s just the size of the sprite

[zealous glen]

Oh, you mean that it has the wrong sprite

[bitter sand]

yup

[zealous glen]

If you used an atlas, you should configure the x and y coordinates

[random sleet]

norse rune blinds

[bitter sand]

these ?

[zealous glen]

Yes

[bitter sand]

i will mess with every single value 'till i find the good one

[zealous glen]

What does your atlas look like?

[bitter sand]

it's not y34 😅

this

[zealous glen]

No the atlas

[zealous glen]

This

[bitter sand]

oh f- sorry

this

[zealous glen]

Then it’s y=1

(0,0) is top left, (0,1) moves 34 pixels down

[bitter sand]

oh because the game already knows that a bling is 34x34 pixels

there it is !

now i have to make them do something

[crisp coral]

that's just uh. play max 4 cards

[bitter sand]

yup

i created a war just by asking what it might do now i can't change the effect 😂

[narrow pollen]

change "5 cards" to "5-card"

[bitter sand]

done

[night pagoda]

does anyone know the function that is called when blind is created/appeared in the run?

is it Blind:set_blind?

[bitter sand]

even by looking in the game code i'm too stupid to code my blind :/

[golden lake]

Apple juice is so good (irl)

[bitter sand]

yes

[random sleet]

hello blatrostuck

[bitter sand]

idk what's wrong

function Blind:press_play()
    if self.disabled then return end
    if self.name == "The Oryx" then
      G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.2, func = function()
      for i = 1, #G.discard.cards do
          G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function() G.discard.cards[i]:juice_up; return true end }))
          ease_dollars(-1)
          delay(0.23)
      end
      return true end }))
      self.triggered = true
      return true
    end
end

i'm stupid

i know what's wrong

but i don't know how to solve it

[random sleet]

chat anyone know why this happens in collection with a blind i made

[bitter sand]

i think that the juice_up is the error but i don't know with what should it be replaced

[golden lake]

please use vscode aaa

[bitter sand]

ok ok

[crisp coral]

is your atlas an animation_atli

[crisp coral]

juice_up()

[random sleet]

thank you blindomancer

[crisp coral]

no problem

[random sleet]

lets gooo

[zealous glen]

Or SublimeText

[random sleet]

hhhhh nice name change

[bitter sand]

the game don't crash but the blind don't work

[crisp coral]

are you sure you called Blind:press_discard

because that's a new function you're defining

[bitter sand]

well i don't really know code so

when/where should it be called ?

[frosty dock]

a

[bitter sand]

that's me

[crisp coral]

there's a discard function iunno, i'm too lazy to check rn

[crisp coral]

but you'd want to add like G.GAME.blind:press_discard() there

[bitter sand]

i'm feeling dumb rn because i don't understand

[frosty dock]

yeah base game only has Blind:press_play()

if you want your function to be used, you need to call it somewhere

[bitter sand]

i can put it somewhere in here ?

[frosty dock]

you need to find the function that handles discards

and manually call your function there

[bitter sand]

so i have to put a function that handles discards then call the blind function with it ?

[frosty dock]

consider looking at G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted, this gets called whenever cards are discarded

if you put a call to your function there, you're all set

[bitter sand]

but where do i put that ?

[night pagoda]

anyone knows?

can't find it

[maiden phoenix]

Found a way to make Joker Trophy less brutal on sold (Instead of making you lose the run)

[random sleet]

me when i get a ceremonial dagger oddity

[crisp coral]

on use sacrifice your left eye

[maiden phoenix]

The easy way would have been to make it eternal but a flying sticker sounds ugly. If theres too many modded mechanics that includes destroying consumables I'll just switch to making it eternal

[random sleet]

blind that helps you or "helps" you

[crisp coral]

very abusable

[random sleet]

(note: no money payout)

[crisp coral]

oh no

i just realized no payout lmao

[maiden phoenix]

Might just do that to avoid future problems, screw being pretty

[frosty dock]

question chat

SMODS.Back or SMODS.Deck

[crisp coral]

back is technically the correct term

but deck is more user friendly

[random sleet]

both

[crisp coral]

methinks

[crisp coral]

TRUE

[random sleet]

chat do you think my code works

[maiden phoenix]

SMODS.Backdeck 😎

[crisp coral]

just switch between Back and Deck every line out of spite

[maiden phoenix]

If its your first try no

[random sleet]

(you're right)

[crisp coral]

f

[frosty dock]

i mean i could allow both

[crisp coral]

i think Jera should at least have a $1 reward

[frosty dock]

but that's if I feel like it

[random sleet]

yeah it looks weird with nothing there

[frosty dock]

tbf it's like that for small blinds on stakes

but doesn't it just not say reward?

[zealous glen]

I don’t think it’s an issue to allow it to be sold while you have more Jokers

Hands work like that

[crisp coral]

it doesn't

[zealous glen]

You can go over, why should Jokers work differently

[maiden phoenix]

Because I feel like so

[crisp coral]

red stake sets a flag to remove rewards on small blind plus the reward text

[maiden phoenix]

No real argument from me lol

[frosty dock]

Back only because I felt like it?

[crisp coral]

fair

[frosty dock]

does anyone disagree

[maiden phoenix]

Nope

[zealous glen]

I also don’t think it needs the text

[maiden phoenix]

I dont want people asking "Why did my Joker Trophy turn eternal?"

[night pagoda]

absolutely normal and not cursed screenshot

[crisp coral]

does the blind work though

[zealous glen]

They shouldn’t even without the text, IMO

[crisp coral]

because i've messed with it at least twice now

[night pagoda]

it does

[zealous glen]

Like if they do that’s their issue IMO :P

even if I think it should be sellable

[crisp coral]

hey can i have the code to shove it in houserules

/j

[night pagoda]

you won't believe how small this code is

[zealous glen]

Define SMODS.Deck as a pointer to SMODS.Back

[crisp coral]

oh wait

[night pagoda]

but this was me testing things anyway

[crisp coral]

the thing i wanted to do is to replace small/big

not just the boss

[night pagoda]

ah no no

[crisp coral]

i never tried to replace just the boss that's good to know

[frosty dock]

no

[crisp coral]

SMODS.Deck = SMODS.Back

[frosty dock]

still no

[maiden phoenix]

SMODS.Front when

[frosty dock]

that's just playing cards?

[maiden phoenix]

Epic

[frosty dock]

tbh that's a possible rename

[zealous glen]

I love it

[frosty dock]

SMODS.Card is inaccurate and SMODS.PlayingCard would be too long

[zealous glen]

Unenhanced?

[frosty dock]

Default

[zealous glen]

SMODS.PokerSquares

[frosty dock]

the set is literally default

[zealous glen]

I know

[frosty dock]

but SMODS.Default says even less about what it is

[zealous glen]

SMODS.Playable?

[frosty dock]

could just go straight for SMODS.Suit and SMODS.Rank

[bitter sand]

i'm gonna continue my blinds coding later

[zealous glen]

If Lua has type unions, maybe have one for Default and Enhanced

[zealous glen]

Wait. Are those in the game’s code?

I thought not

[mellow sable]

How are you going to make API for sprites for arbitrary suit/rank combinations?

[random sleet]

it's on the Rank's side to support

(source: dankranks' atlas is fuckin huge)

[frosty dock]

currently it's SMODS.Card for both, which I'm not sure how much I like

[frosty dock]

lua barely has types

this is all that's left of the voucher API

everything else was redundant

[crisp coral]

huge

[golden lake]

Yaldabaoth my beloved

oh thats much more comprehendable of a face than i expected

[golden lake]

hes so cool..

[frosty dock]

is mult gained at end of round?

[golden lake]

yes

it's basically Delayed Gratification 2, but it does something

the long awaited Delayed Gratification synergy build..

[frosty dock]

question

do we prefix sprites?

[crisp coral]

like s_sprite?

[frosty dock]

also mod prefixes

I'm partial to not prefixing sprites due to the way they get used if the key matches

either way it would be possible to just do something like SMODS.Sprite{omit_prefix = false, prefix = 'j', ...} to not omit the prefix (or omit_prefix = true to omit it anyway)

[calm nova]

can anyone see why line 1240 is nil should be working like the others

[frosty dock]

undiscovered sprite API?

[random sleet]

wooo

(reminds me i have no idea if undiscovered oddities work literally at all)

[night pagoda]

yooo I un-pixelated the shader

nvm will send a better screenshot

[random sleet]

i love that boss effect

[calm nova]

yea that looks good

[random sleet]

(whats the difference)

[calm nova]

no pixel

its smooth

[night pagoda]

yep!

[random sleet]

theres always pixels

[calm nova]

well yea

but yk

[night pagoda]

I mean they're smaller now so

the pixels were obvious before

[random sleet]

were they

[calm nova]

yea i like it

[night pagoda]

main screen with the same treatment

the game is now playable

[crisp coral]

not pixelated

unplayable

[night pagoda]

not pixelated
playable*

[bitter sand]

is it me or it looks blured ?

[night pagoda]

without crt

[bitter sand]

i have shitty eyes tho

[night pagoda]

oooof now you can see the pixels on "Balatro" title but that's okay I guess

[bitter sand]

have fun unpixelating the game i guess

[night pagoda]

no that's not my intention

I just feel like some parts shouldn't be pixelated

[gaunt thistle]

I quite like the effect

[night pagoda]

is it possible to have separate file with variables for mod? I want to make some kind of config file

[golden lake]

what if

Balatro Faithful edition

like a 2x balatro texturepack

everything is twice res

[night pagoda]

rotsprited/pixelscaled balatro

[modern herald]

ok so what if we make the ankh downside +1 ante

[night pagoda]

(pixelscaled is much better)

[golden lake]

would stll need some cleanup

[night pagoda]

yep

[night pagoda]

any ideas?

[random sleet]

https://github.com/AutumnMood924/TheAutumnCircus/tree/main wow it'd be so weird if someone did that already /s

[night pagoda]

ohhh ty

New Oddity. Might make it into a Joker. Not sure.

@random sleet For some reason it doesn't display the description. Might be a bug? I don't think I did anything wrong

[crisp coral]

no way, chance

[zealous glen]

?

[random sleet]

that is bizarre

idk why that would happen

unlike Chance it looks like enhancements are guaranteed here

[modern herald]

ok what else do I need to do when I take ownership of a consumable? Trying to make a re-balance patch

[zealous glen]

My guess is that it's because loc_def is empty but Idk

ok so when I take ownership of a spectral card and hover it, it crashes

do I have to re-define it's oracle text?

what does it do

[mellow crag]

look at the ranks

[zealous glen]

what does it do

[mellow crag]

half cards and quarter cards

[zealous glen]

yes but what do they do

[mellow crag]

give you half chips and quarter chips

[zealous glen]

can you make Straights with them

[mellow crag]

yes

1/4-1/2-2-3-4

[zealous glen]

Isn't that skipping ace

[mellow crag]

ace is 11

[zealous glen]

also 1

[mellow crag]

actually you can't straight with them

you know what?

let me make something else

[crisp coral]

what the heck are you cooking

[river fern]

half heart half club

[mellow crag]

oh god

don't give me ideas

[zealous glen]

Do give them ideas

[river fern]

half heart quarter diamond quarter club

[mellow crag]

that's a neat way of saying wild card

[river fern]

wild card without spades

[random sleet]

weird.

[river fern]

take two cards and fuse them, real time suit creation

value is the average of the two cards

i think that would be absurdly funny

why is it not doing thing :(

[crisp coral]

love.filesystem.load does not actually run the script so you need to return an object here

[golden lake]

wdym

[zealous glen]

I imagine the joker file needs to end with return joker

[golden lake]

does it?

[random sleet]

so

the way mine work

[zealous glen]

I do it with require

[random sleet]

is they set up global variables to get run later

[golden lake]

idont wanna know how yours works i want to know how to make mine work

[crisp coral]

here's the lua for autism creature

[random sleet]

which is what this accomplishes

you're clearly using mine as a reference because this is the most dogshit ass way to do this

[zealous glen]

Here's Hamster

[crisp coral]

lmaoo

[random sleet]

and nobody would ever think of it on their own

[golden lake]

im using Codex

as a reference

[modern herald]

ty!

[zealous glen]

I'm adding the information about the Jokers to the Joker file itself instead of a different file with all of them

[random sleet]

which was clearly using mine as a reference because this is the most dogshit ass way to do this

[crisp coral]

for love.filesystem.load files you need to declare everything into a table and return that table

[zealous glen]

But it's a WIP

[frosty dock]

OH NO

[golden lake]

what

[frosty dock]

Rebalanced more like Reshuffled

[crisp coral]

yes

[crisp coral]

that's literally what i did lol

[golden lake]

wait so i just have to do that then?

no NFS.load()?>

[random sleet]

when you load a file with NFS.load it returns that file as if the entire contents were surrounded by
function()
end

[zealous glen]

And me but I used require

[crisp coral]

don't use require pls

[zealous glen]

Why not?

[modern herald]

fixed dw

[golden lake]

@random sleet do you not use nfs.load pls answer

[random sleet]

no i use NFS load

[modern herald]

now to implement probably not good balance changes

[random sleet]

in a really weird and clunky way

none of those variables contain anything

none of those files return anything

[zealous glen]

Why not?

[golden lake]

why are you loadnig them then

[loud citrus]

Are you also making a rebalance mod? :)

[golden lake]

what is the point

aaa

[random sleet]

because they have the code in them

[crisp coral]

idk aure probably knows better

[random sleet]

TheAutumnCircus and TheAutumnCircus.INIT is defined as a global table in the main lua file of the mod

you can't define globals in the same way from within something you load with NFS.load

[modern herald]

mostly stuff to make high ante games more consistent and less terrible

[random sleet]

because it'll be in the scope of this function

[frosty dock]

why would I? I'm the loader guy

[crisp coral]

yes

[random sleet]

so your lib.lua defines Balatrostuck = {} as a local variable to its own file

you have to do that in the base file with the steamodded header

[zealous glen]

Balatro uses require and Idk Lua so I used require too

[frosty dock]

isn't default scope global in lua?

[loud citrus]

Nice! Mine is making the worst of the worst usable, and also making vouchers not repeat effects.

[random sleet]

that i dont actually know

but i hope its not because then i have no idea why akai's code isnt working

[modern herald]

salt induced balance changes

[golden lake]

its global

[random sleet]

at least from this weird game of Programming Charades we're playing where i see like 40% of the code

[golden lake]

i have no idea whats going on

[zealous glen]

Idk how Lua scopes work. I define variables inside my code that requires other things but they can't find that variable

[random sleet]

but yeah if you just set Balatrostuck.INIT.<...> it won't automatically work

[golden lake]

aaghhsdjk its global scope why is it not fucking finding it

[frosty dock]

hm iunno then

[random sleet]

you have to then iterate over the things in that table

[golden lake]

i am

i am doing that rn

[random sleet]

okay

[golden lake]

its not working

[random sleet]

can i see the main file

the one that actually gets loaded by steamodded

[crisp coral]

okay i get what your code is doing now

but not why akai is crashing

i tried with batch_load uncommented too

i tried both

[random sleet]

where do you load the lib file

do you load the lib file

[golden lake]

what like this

function SMODS.INIT.Balatrostuck()
    local mod = SMODS.findModByID("balatrostuck")

    local function batch_load(txt) 
        local joker_files = love.filesystem.getDirectoryItems(mod.path.."data/"..txt)
        local joker_defs = {}
        for _, file in pairs(joker_files) do
            if string.find(file, ".lua") then
                local joker = love.filesystem.load(mod.path.."data/"..txt.."/"..file)()
                table.insert(joker_defs, joker)
            end
        end
        return joker_defs
    end

    NFS.load(mod.path.."lib.lua")
    --local batch_jokers = batch_load("jokers")
    --local batch_aspects = batch_load("aspects")
    --local batch_zodiacs = batch_load("zodiacs")

    for _, v in pairs(Balatrostuck.INIT.Jokers) do
        if v and type(v) == 'function' then v() end
    end

    SMODS.Sprite:new("HomestuckJokers", mod.path, "hsjokers.png", 71, 95, "asset_atli"):register()
    SMODS.Sprite:new("HomestuckZodiacs", mod.path, "zodiac.png", 71, 95, "asset_atli"):register()

    SMODS.Sprite:new("lymanJuju", mod.path, "hsspectral.png", 71, 95, "asset_atli"):register()

[random sleet]

yeah basically

i have these getting called earlier in the file than any content modules

[golden lake]

its not working

why

why no work

[random sleet]

you didnt run it

[golden lake]

wdym i didnt run it

what are you referring to

[random sleet]

NFS.load(mod.path.."lib.lua")()
not
NFS.load(mod.path.."lib.lua")

[golden lake]

why

why

[random sleet]

NFS.load returns a function

[odd dock]

chat is this real?

[random sleet]

the function is a no-argument function containing the code in the file

[maiden phoenix]

+-2

[river fern]

pi should be next fr

[odd dock]

pray event that turns your whole hand into -2s

[random sleet]

why NFS.load doesn't simply run the damn function i'll never know but you do have to actually explicitly run the function

[golden lake]

why why why why

its a global

its a GLOBAL

[random sleet]

you have an init_joker function? where?

[mellow crag]

just fixed it

[modern herald]

thoughts

[mellow crag]

don't give me any ideas!

[golden lake]

in utils.lua

[random sleet]

are you loading utils.lua

[golden lake]

i will kill the person who made lua

[modern herald]

same bestie

[random sleet]

alternatively can you kill me instead

[golden lake]

i shouldnt have to load a file thats GLOBAL IN SCOPE

[random sleet]

why is it global

what makes a file global

[modern herald]

lua is such an ugly language

[random sleet]

it's being ignored by steamodded because there's no steamodded header, which means steamodded will skip it

so you have to explicitly load any file that you need loaded that steamodded skips

[golden lake]

thats so genuinely mindnumbing

[random sleet]

if it loaded every file in your folder itd be more confusing

[night pagoda]

Is it possible to replace text colors? Want to replace high contrast colors of suits in text

[random sleet]

especially if you don't get to specify load order. that'd be a real mess.

[golden lake]

that's another thing i need to do

load order

rn its just a general batch load

it has no concept of load order

[random sleet]

this is one of many reasons i dont mess with putting every single damn object in its own file

[golden lake]

its cleaner to write though

[rough finch]

as a language, lua is kind of unique in that it doesn't enforce a code style, like other languages

like, its almost impossible to write a program in c# that isn't object oriented

so its up to you to keep a consistent code style

you can mix and match, like the base game does, but it takes some practice

[maiden phoenix]

Kinda rough wip but gets the job done

[zealous glen]

What increases in sell value?

[maiden phoenix]

I mean, it's shown on the vid...

I'll add a "its" for you

[zealous glen]

I think it should be like Jokers

“This Oddity”

[zealous glen]

I watched the video, I criticizing the description

[maiden phoenix]

Stop with the answer ping spam jeuse

[zealous glen]

Anyhow, I made a Joker with a similar effect, but I think I’ll remove it from my mod because I don’t like it

My bad I like pinging people

[maiden phoenix]

Fair, changed the desc to clarify whats getting extra sell value 👍

[zealous glen]

And by similar I mean you immediately gain $1 when selling Jokers

[maiden phoenix]

Oh so like everything get's +1 extra selling price?

[zealous glen]

Only Jokers

It felt both weak (which I could buff) and uninteresting IMO

[maiden phoenix]

Ooh I see

[zealous glen]

I want to encourage buying and selling Jokers, but it’s too straightforward

If I buff it too much then most Jokers become free to buy then sell

I could make it random, which I don’t mind, but I still don’t find it interesting

[odd dock]

^this guy encouraged buying and selling pretty well

pawn joker from jank jonklers also encourages buying and selling pretty well

[zealous glen]

Hmm, the four main payoffs I have planned are:

• Dog: Gains +10 Chips or +2 Mult when you get a Joker;
• Shrimp: Gives two random Jokers +2 Mult when you sell a Joker;
• Dragon: +10 Chips to your Jokers when you get a Common Joker;
• Chicken: +3 Mult to future Jokers when you get a Common Joker.

[odd dock]

interesting

[zealous glen]

Then I had three economy Jokers (including Goat, which I’m cutting), and two Jokers which you can get value of then sell (Cow and Félicette)

[odd dock]

what are the rarities of chicken and dragon?

[zealous glen]

I’m planning Rare, but we’ll see

[odd dock]

sounds good

[zealous glen]

If I cheat them in early they’re quite strong, but so far I’ve only found them late

So it’s hard to tell

[odd dock]

if you get them with riff raff its op but as a rare that seems perfectly fine to me

[zealous glen]

I just buffed Chicken from +2 to +3

[zealous glen]

Indeed, I made all of them “get” or “sell” instead of Buy so they’d work with Riff-Raff

[zealous glen]

I think the best economy Joker is Hamster, which gives $20 after every three rerolls

[odd dock]

chaos flash card synergy is pretty cool

[slow ocean]

chat am i stupid

[patent bough]

yes

[edgy reef]

Not stupider than me

[slow ocean]

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/posinujibi.py

snippet of code since i dont want to flashbang mobile users

i keep getting an error comparing a value to nil here

(i presume it's me trying to get the context.full_hand count)

wait

my logic for this is stupid

[edgy reef]

For one

This is repetitve

[slow ocean]

oh i know

that was just to see if that was the reason

[frosty dock]

me when my work today has included deleting both of those files

[slow ocean]

ive rewritten it to be much simpler now

since i realized that if youre not playing a 3 card hand you wont get the mult anyway

(i wrote most of this code very late at night)
