So divisor*q + remainder = dividend

[crisp coral]

ask, don't ask to ask

[zealous glen]

I did ask before

But you didn’t see it because no ping

Hence I’m saying I want to ask a question before you look away and don’t see it

[crisp coral]

if you need my attention do ping

[night pagoda]

How do I use draw_card for discarding without making steel cards activate offscreen?

I'm making a blind that discards all cards but I can't use the same method The Hook uses because only 5 cards can be selected, and it discards based on selection

[zealous glen]

I don’t understand this question

Anyways, there is draw_card_from and I believe even draw_card_from_hand_to_discard

[mellow sable]

👿

[formal viper]

lol

[frosty dock]

oh no

the most useless egg

[zealous glen]

It can become more useless

When it’s debuffed

[frosty dock]

not really

I guess it doesn't increase in value for temperance anymore

but it still loses you $3 either way, regardless of if it's debuffed or not

[night pagoda]

draw_card_from does something weird and spawns floating cards around

Original question was that I used draw_card, but the cards that went into discard would still trigger (like steel cards)

[mellow sable]

don't do anything yet but behold...

[zealous glen]

Without thinking too hard about it, maybe it's due to event handling

[night pagoda]

I'm now do not want to use draw_card at all because it won't trigger things such as seals

Will use whatever the hook uses but I need to somehow increase max highlighted cards

[zealous glen]

The function that computes which effects trigger while a card is in hand versus cards being moved around are happening at times such that the card is physically moved out of hand but the effect has already been computed

It's like you can move Jokers around while they're popping off and it doesn't change the original result

[frosty dock]

chat I just had an idea

[zealous glen]

You're chat (cat in French)

[frosty dock]

what if we add a mandatory header field for version number

that will prevent <=0.9.8 mods from loading at all with 1.x

[zealous glen]

Oh, Steamodded version

[frosty dock]

no, mod version

[zealous glen]

Mod makers can just not update their versions

Maybe mods could require Steamodded of at least a specific version

[frosty dock]

yeah that's good long term

short term, I don't want everyone crashing their games because that one mod isn't updated to 1.0

making any header field mandatory that isn't already will do

I don't want it to be something dumb, and the currently optional values have reasonable defaults or aren't always needed

[zealous glen]

Hence making Steamodded version mandary

I think mod makers can just not update their version so it's less helpful IMO

[frosty dock]

well mod versions are useful by themselves, be it for troubleshooting or other

[zealous glen]

I agree but see

[frosty dock]

if a mod's version isn't maintained, that's on them

having modver be mandatory seems good either way, what's a default value supposed to be anyway

I see where you're coming from though, your idea also seems useful to have

[narrow pollen]

see that's why i didn't want to remove init completely; i would have preferred to keep backwards compatibility with 0.9.8 mods, so we don't have that "update or uninstall" ultimatum posed on mods created by developers that might not be willing to put in the effort to port

[golden lake]

its a growing pain tbh

[narrow pollen]

well, i guess that gives people precedent to port deprecated mods

[frosty dock]

again, the whole reason for the rewrite was that the old code was unmaintainable

whether init is being removed or not, the old way to do literally anything also wouldn't be supported

I just don't want the game to crash with 0.9 mods loaded, which means some way of telling from existing code that the mod is outdated is gonna be needed

Alternatively that could be done by searching the file content for SMODS.INIT

[golden lake]

that's probably the best solution

since that's like, the major breaking change

[frosty dock]

I'd argue it's just the breaking change that causes a crash the earliest if disregarded

[golden lake]

yeah

[frosty dock]

I'll still add versions but it can be optional

[golden lake]

add mod versions!!

[frosty dock]

defaulting to 0.0.0 isn't terrible

[golden lake]

mod versioning is a good thing

also how hard would it be to like, check a mod's version against github releases of the mod

to show someone their mod is outdated

and they should go to the github to update it

[frosty dock]

should be possible given a github link

[mellow sable]

Please do that 🙏

[golden lake]

then add sth like ---REPO: and ---MOD_VERSION:

[mellow sable]

And automatic mod updating with GitHub too

It can download the source code file

[golden lake]

half of #⚙・modding-general traffic eliminated, just like that

[mellow sable]

And then you can also auto-download and update dependencies by specifying their links

May as well add a GUI installer for Lovely and Steamodded while we’re at it

[golden lake]

lmao

Balatro modloader

but make it CurseForge

[frosty dock]

uh who's gonna implement all that

but yeah sounds good

[mellow sable]

Also a funny idea: gradient API

To get effects similar to G.C.EDITION

[golden lake]

YES PLEASE

a gradient API for text would go so hard

[frosty dock]

wait what's special about G.C.EDITION

[golden lake]

it cycles red/purple

dark_edition

[frosty dock]

oh I'll have a look

[golden lake]

iirc it's mostly done by adding an animation thing to the game update

i'll post what I have for aspects 1 sec

local game_updateref = Game.update
function Game:update(dt)
    game_updateref(self, dt)

    local aspect_list = {
        G.C.TIME,
        G.C.SPACE,
        G.C.BLOOD,
        G.C.BREATH,
        G.C.HEART,
        G.C.MIND,
        G.C.LIGHT,
        G.C.VOID,
        G.C.DOOM,
        G.C.LIFE,
        G.C.HOPE,
        G.C.RAGE
    }

    local anim_timer = self.TIMERS.REAL*1.5
    local progress = anim_timer % 1
    local chosen_aspect_pair = (anim_timer - progress) % #aspect_list + 1

    local left_colour_aspect = aspect_list[chosen_aspect_pair]
    local right_colour_aspect = aspect_list[chosen_aspect_pair % #aspect_list + 1] -- this works?

    self.C.SECONDARY_SET.Aspect[1] = left_colour_aspect[1] * (1 - progress) + right_colour_aspect[1] * progress
    self.C.SECONDARY_SET.Aspect[2] = left_colour_aspect[2] * (1 - progress) + right_colour_aspect[2] * progress
    self.C.SECONDARY_SET.Aspect[3] = left_colour_aspect[3] * (1 - progress) + right_colour_aspect[3] * progress
end

it's basically just this

[random sleet]

its basically just this mountain of code

[golden lake]

i'll remove redundancy 1 sec

there

[random sleet]

;P just how you're making it sound trivial when i can't even have it all on screen lol

[mellow sable]

I thought about this after realizing I wanted custom gradients for stakes 25-32 of my mod

And API would probably help

[golden lake]

you could just set it up with a parameterless constructor that takes a speed and an array of colors

[mellow sable]

Also fun fact: you can alternate text colors using DynaText without any API

It’s a vanilla feature

[frosty dock]

oh nice

[random sleet]

The balatro cat

[frosty dock]

yeah that doesn't seem too bad to make an API for

[random sleet]

Your work is incredible and greatly appreciated

[golden lake]

it should also set up a loc_color out of the box i think

so it'd be

SMODS.Gradient{
  key = "something",
  colors = {},
  speed = 1
}:register()

[frosty dock]

not sure what name is good for tbh

[golden lake]

just calling it I think?

you might want to use it for like

[frosty dock]

key:

[golden lake]

badge colors

oh true

so key, colors, speed

[mellow sable]

Something I also realized with Steamodded

The sprites don’t interact with mod prefixes

So its very easy to get overlap

[frosty dock]

mainly so the ability to change vanilla sprites is preserved

[mellow sable]

Couldn’t you just do omit_sprite_prefix or something though?

If you want that

[golden lake]

real

[frosty dock]

oh right you can still use omit_prefix in the constructor

[mellow sable]

I feel like modders are just going to assume that the prefix is added (I was one of them until I tried manually affecting it)

Oh yeah that also works for overriding sprites

But I meant omit_atlas_prefix for trying to find a vanilla vs modded atlas

[frosty dock]

maybe there's a better way to register individual sprites, but to have your sprite have the same key, you would then need to specify the class prefix to the constructor

register a joker's sprite, put the same key and prefix = 'j'

[golden lake]

people who register jokers as individual pngs and not a spritesheet are psychopaths and need to be studied

[frosty dock]

there's no interface for trying to find an atlas though, you just index G.ASSET_ATLAS usually

[maiden phoenix]

whistle

[mellow sable]

I do that a little bit

When I was adding stakes in bulk I realized how good spritesheets are

[golden lake]

i use spritesheets only

because im normal

[frosty dock]

I mean we probably shouldn't encourage individual PNGs

[mellow sable]

The omit argument will then give you vanilla ones versus your modded ones

[maiden phoenix]

Spritesheets are a pain in the ass when you got a shit drawing program

[mellow sable]

In Paint it was a little annoying to align it

[golden lake]

compile Aseprite

[maiden phoenix]

Too lazy

[mellow sable]

But not too bad

[golden lake]

there are GUIDES ONLINE

[maiden phoenix]

Doesn't solve my laziness

[golden lake]

doesn't excuse it either

[maiden phoenix]

I curse thy with infinite singular sprites

[golden lake]

Aseprite is so good fr like

i can set the grid size to 71x95

and move everything by a full space

[maiden phoenix]

Huh

[golden lake]

just by double clicking and arrow keys + Shift

[frosty dock]

on creating conventions, how about there's a general default atlas it tries to use for each mod specifically, which is just the mod prefix or something

so you would register it by passing the empty string as the key

maybe that's dumb

[golden lake]

see this?

[frosty dock]

well it's always possible to just make it mandatory to specify an atlas

[maiden phoenix]

I can see the utility but I don't see how it's that game changer

[golden lake]

on its own yeah but aseprite has like 5 billion other features

it has an in-built outline tool

i press Ctrl + O

it generates an outline instantly

Indexed mode, blending layers

[frosty dock]

like I think something should need to change, since currently it isn't that intuitive what key you need your sprite to have for it to be auto-used

[mellow sable]

I’m imagining that all the atlases have the mod prefix by default and you can omit it optionally

[golden lake]

you mean like, the atlases as in

the registered names

right

[random sleet]

GIMP is free and shocking competent for pixel art

[golden lake]

gimp can suck an egg

[frosty dock]

SMODS.Joker{key='jjoker', sprite = SMODS.Sprite{...}} 🤔

[golden lake]

nope nope nope

thats evil

and bad

and encourages people to do the bad of making each joker a separate png

[frosty dock]

don't take that seriously 💀

[random sleet]

yawn

why you being a hater today akai

[frosty dock]

I already said I don't wanna encourage individual sprites

[mellow sable]

omit_atlas_prefix = true and atlas = "stickers" for vanilla stickers, and then just atlas = "stickers" for modded stickers

That would make things so much easier

I made atlases called “sticker” and “stake” and now I need to remember not to confuse them with the vanilla “stickers” and “chips”

[golden lake]

wait we can totally discourage individual pngs by just

ah nvm

[maiden phoenix]

Say it, say that you want to enter our house and choke us with our pillow

[frosty dock]

hm yeah that makes sense

[mellow sable]

And wouldn’t require much rewriting for other APIs

[frosty dock]

that would also avoid having to use your mod prefix in code

[mellow sable]

Just the same code copy pasted to account for mod prefix

[frosty dock]

wait so are we making atlas mandatory?

[mellow sable]

I should probably also change applied_stakes in stake API to do this

[mellow sable]

It should still default to vanilla if its not defined imo

[frosty dock]

hm right

but no automatic assignment of anything else

[mellow sable]

What are some other things without APIs that would be beneficial

I know there are a few joker functions

[frosty dock]

yeah I've been wanting to add some

there's also editions I guess

[maiden phoenix]

Evil Aure be like "Settings API"

[frosty dock]

for mod settings, maybe

but not without a separate modded jkr file for mod settings

[mellow sable]

Settings API would be huge

If I was better at UI I would try making one at some point

[gaunt thistle]

I mean tbf r2mm should work with most balatro mods

but I'm not going to say any more than that to remain impartial

the installation process should get easier as guides catch up. the more popular yt videos are out of date and I think that causes confusion

[mellow sable]

Keeping it all integrated in game is cool though

[gaunt thistle]

agreed

that's the holy grail

[random sleet]

r2mm support would be based if it was real

[slow ocean]

first rule of thumb

[frosty dock]

yeah that's fair and all, I'd just like for Steamodded to stay its own thing with all features it might offer

[slow ocean]

if theres an installation guide on youtube that links to a github its probably outdated

[random sleet]

"keep it simple, stupid"

[frosty dock]

it's great if it works with it, it should just work with the same set of features without

[golden lake]

how do i print to the debug console again?

[maiden phoenix]

sendDebugMessage()

[frosty dock]

sendDebugMessage(message)

[gaunt thistle]

I merged it like two months ago it better be real at this point

[frosty dock]

or sendInfoMessage or sendTraceMessage or whatever

I use trace for debugging steamodded usually, just for it to be easy to filter

[gaunt thistle]

oh yeah I'll be adding log files before 0.5.0 is released for realsies

they should end up in lovely/logs/*.txt

[frosty dock]

poggies

I've thought about implementing that myself on the side of steamodded but decided against, good thing I guess

[golden lake]

thank you

[zealous glen]

I know I wanted to add some utilities which might come up in more than one mod and it’s be better to be unified

Like Hiker info

[golden lake]

btw

[gaunt thistle]

damn alright

I can give you a build if you want lol

[gaunt thistle]

it makes more sense for lovely imho

but two times the fun is four times the charm, right?

[random sleet]

the Thunderstore App has it

[golden lake]

Balatrostuck strong

[gaunt thistle]

yeah, we deploy those, ebkr does all of the r2mm stuff

[random sleet]

but r2modman (ad bloat free edition) doesn't

[gaunt thistle]

I'll need to pester him about it

[random sleet]

:(

[gaunt thistle]

yeah it's lame tbh

one sec, let me build

[slow ocean]

akai channeling all the creative energy i have left after work into a beautiful project

[random sleet]

my main thing is i dont want to bother with the headache of thunderstore uploads until it's available to the general public through r2modman itself

[golden lake]

Lyman there's 3 pages of Balatrostuck Jokers rn

[zealous glen]

I don’t think it should be mandatory in case people want to make Jokers that don’t follow the same size as other Jokers

[slow ocean]

are you ditching the 4/13 meme

[golden lake]

yeag

[frosty dock]

I don't think that's relevant, such a joker could just have a different atlas

it's more for not having to specify anything to use the vanilla spritesheet

[zealous glen]

What’s the difference between an individual .png and an atlas that contains a single Joker?

[random sleet]

me trying to figure out what this means lol

[zealous glen]

Homestuck start date

[frosty dock]

nothing, but that's unrelated to making it required to specify an atlas

[slow ocean]

autumn how many pages of jokers are there in base game

quick

go

go

go

[random sleet]

10 pages

[slow ocean]

ok

45 jokers

thats 3 pages

[zealous glen]

Is it?

[slow ocean]

(i dont remember where we got the 4 from)

[random sleet]

idk

[slow ocean]

but the meme is funny number in the pages

[random sleet]

lyman tell me what font i should make the game use

[slow ocean]

https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/download/675134

[frosty dock]

if you need an atlas with different dimensions for one joker, you can still specify that atlas

[random sleet]

oh god direct link

[slow ocean]

what would be the consequence of forcing atlases

[frosty dock]

but either way it won't be required to specify one in case you want the vanilla atlas

[random sleet]

i dont even get the preview

this is gonna be interesting lol

[slow ocean]

i mean its quite shrimple

[slow ocean]

like at the end of the day is a single sprite not just a 1x1 atlas

[zealous glen]

That’s what I was asking

[random sleet]

cant you just specify the vanilla atlas same as a modded one

[frosty dock]

I was asking if it should be required that you give the API the key of the atlas you want to use

[random sleet]

or am i stupid

[frosty dock]

basically this

[random sleet]

oh god

[slow ocean]

lmfao

@golden lake we're so back

[zealous glen]

NExT BLIND

New typing quirk just dropped

[random sleet]

oh god there's no underscore either

[zealous glen]

This reminds me of (Homestuck spoiler) ||how Caliborn types||

[slow ocean]

lmfaooooo

[golden lake]

this is the FALSE homestuck font

[mellow sable]

It looks good save for the missing characters tbh

[zealous glen]

Does the game use condition events anywhere?

[golden lake]

the real Homestuck font is Courier New Bold, 13 px

no antialiasing

[golden lake]

correct

watch this

[mellow sable]

I wanted to try this font but I couldn’t get my mod to work with 1.0

https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/2475540/simple-5x3-5

[random sleet]

you cant specify a font size in pixels i think

[random sleet]

i still dont know how you couldn't get it to work

[slow ocean]

my god

[maiden phoenix]

LYMAN !!!!

[zealous glen]

I also found this earlier if anyone’s interested https://homestuck.net/resources/other.html

[golden lake]

another detail

the Lands/Derse font is Carima

16 px

no antialias

[random sleet]

why does this require an account

[zealous glen]

Searching the source code only returns their definition to me, so I’m guessing unless they’re implicitly defined elsewhere, the game doesn’t use condition events

[mellow sable]

LÖVE wasn’t letting me load font files for some reason

And I can’t just use nativefs for it

[mellow sable]

Try again

I had it privated lol

[golden lake]

wait no sorry, 24

@slow ocean

do with this what you will...

[zealous glen]

Garfield…

[slow ocean]

oh shit

[golden lake]

like, it's insane how few people know Homestuck just uses Courier New Bold 13px with no antialias and full hinting

Hussie built their entire life's work on a default font that comes with your fucking PC

and no-one even noticed

[slow ocean]

im too powerful now

[random sleet]

does my port not work for you somehow?

[zealous glen]

Surely an event that creates a copy of itself will cause me no headaches

[golden lake]

autumn how do i change balatro font...

@random sleet

[mellow sable]

Yes

LÖVE refuses to read my font files for some reason

Even when moving them to a safe directory with nativefs

[random sleet]

this is the entire code right

[mellow sable]

I might just do the trick where I put m6x11 in the game dir and use that

I tried with using nativefs too and it didn’t help

idk why though

[random sleet]

oh god this one's weird

[mellow sable]

Also for a font I made in an hour this looks surprisingly decent

[random sleet]

i would probably stick with it if it had distinct lowercase

[golden lake]

MathIsFun

the mod doesn't work on linux

[mellow sable]

I’m a Windows user

[golden lake]

what is temp-font.ttf

[mellow sable]

I was testing something to try and fix it

lmao

Try the one AutumnMood uploaded

[random sleet]

(for 1.0)

[golden lake]

gotcha

balatrostuck gaming

is there a way to modify line height btw

in textboxes

[zealous glen]

I imagine you’d need to change text size, and sometimes there are hidden UI objects to create space

[golden lake]

it's line height though

[zealous glen]

Oh I misread

I know there are some parameters to rows and columns

Some might influence the size of the UI elements

[mellow sable]

I can add that later

And fix up the punctuation

Since some of it is rushed

[golden lake]

TEXT_HEIGHT_SCALE = 0.83 is the culprit here it seems

[narrow pollen]

might i ask

how

[golden lake]

simple really

adhd

also this is perfect now

[mellow sable]

Also CustomFont works so much better in 1.0.1

There was a font-related patch that made the fonts all crisp now I think

[golden lake]

btw MathIsFun

might want to include line height too

    G.LANG.font.TEXT_HEIGHT_SCALE = 0.73

this is what i set mine to

[narrow pollen]

i guess i'm just focused more on implementation of stuff

and coming up with art along the way

[mellow sable]

I added distinct lowercase (of dubious quality)

[north orbit]

did anyone make a texture pack for the wild enhancement to look more like a wild card

[mellow sable]

Fixed the k a bit because I realized how unaligned it looks

[broken vine]

wym? like.. a uno wild card?

[north orbit]

like, changing how the enhancement looks

it looks kind of invisible to me

[hollow marsh]

So I am trying to make a mod that changes the color of the background when you are in game and I am kind of stuck. In the background.fs file there are 3 variables that I think are relevant, colour_1, colour_2, and colour_3. Changing the value of colour_1 in the bottom of the file can work to change some of the background but not all of it (this result is the pink one). The values being pushed to this file are in game.lua and the values for the colors crom from g.c.background. The only thing that changes anything though is changing the alpha in the L varaible to 0 which makes the end result a darker green (this result is the dark green one). Any advice?

[broken vine]

hmm the most popular one would be https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1216064295633289286

[zealous glen]

I think Codex has differently colored backgrounds, but you can see the source for how different bosses and packs do it. It might be related to game states

There is an ease_background_color_blind apparently

From a cursory glance that seems to be the function that changes background color depending on current Blind or state (pack, etc.)

[hollow marsh]

where did you find that?

[zealous glen]

I searched the game files for it but it’s defined in

common_events.lua line 311

[hollow marsh]

oh I see it, thank you

I'll mess around with it to see if I can get an interesting result

found it! You edit the hex value for G.C.BLIND in globals.lua

thanks for the help @zealous glen !

[zealous glen]

purpel

[hollow marsh]

it can be any color very easily

[zealous glen]

can it be purple

[hollow marsh]

no

[zealous glen]

Actually seriously can it be DARK_EDITION?

[hollow marsh]

I think all that does is applies a filter over the existing color to make it darker

because it's just black

[zealous glen]

No, DARK_EDITION is a color

It’s the color in Edition badges and a few other elements

Importantly the specific color is changing every frame

[hollow marsh]

it's stored as an rgba value from the looks of it in the globals.lua so if there is an easy way to turn that into a hex I don't see why not?

I have never programmed in lua tbh so idk how to write that

[golden lake]

chat something's wrong with my balatro

what is this language...

[wild gyro]

homestuck?

[golden lake]

correct

[broken vine]

make this the default language of the mod.

[golden lake]

font update!

[odd dock]

its all homestuck

[wild gyro]

same as it ever was

[tawny perch]

ik for a factt this reminds me of a certain character but i cant stop thinking its chie

[gilded narwhal]

Yo where should I look to fix this

I'm trying to add another fusion joker btw

[tawny perch]

is it another one of mine

[gilded narwhal]

Yup

The last one

Solar flare joker

Your pixel art looks rlly cool and it's good practice

[tawny perch]

ah thats my second favourite one

[golden lake]

new design, what do we think gang

[tawny perch]

favourite in terms of abilities
i think its quite cool

[gilded narwhal]

Me like

[tawny perch]

thank you :)

[gilded narwhal]

If someone hasn't done it I'll probably try to make your ortalab stuff

[tawny perch]

well if you do, it could save time for the person making the code for ortalab

[short surge]

may i request a ping whenever steamodded 1.0 comes out officially?

[gilded narwhal]

I'm so confused

And the crash only happens when I hover over the joker

[maiden phoenix]

Your param is self but you use card

Also the error might be with the context condition order, careful of priorities, check the og code and use some parenthesis

[gilded narwhal]

Okay it was actually because I'm blind and used the loc_def function instead of the calculate function

[maiden phoenix]

I'm also blind because I didn't see it...

[gilded narwhal]

Also I think one of these names is wrong because this does not lead to the fusion that I wanted

Because there's no fusion

[maiden phoenix]

It's just "j_space"

[gilded narwhal]

Oh dang

[maiden phoenix]

And j_burnt

[gilded narwhal]

I had no idea

Yo where are the planet cards kept in the game files

[maiden phoenix]

Same as jokers but under them

[gilded narwhal]

Also, so this works for the discards but not for the hands, and I'm curious why because they're the exact same code and also I checked it's the correct context so I'm not sure

[gilded narwhal]

Man I am so confused

I just copied the code from space joker into the thing

And it doesn't work

[neon elbow]

Hey does anyone have an example of a modded joker which shuffles a card into your deck after you play a hand, all my attempts at creating this have just resulted in increasingly absurd bugs.

[wooden nexus]

Enchantment Table

[wild gyro]

basically the same thing

[narrow pollen]

oh real quick, anyone know how to take ownership of a deck in alpha?

there it is

[edgy reef]

Took some time to debug due to UI shenanigans

[narrow pollen]

nice!

[edgy reef]

Jokers on payout can be retriggered

[narrow pollen]

not surprised

[random sleet]

flowwey what are you cooking.....

[short surge]

it's getting there!

[random sleet]

oh thats sick

if there is anything i would say, it might be better for the transform-to-joker animation to be a flip, rather than destroy

like the card moves up to joker slots, flips over, changes its characteristics to the joker, then flips back

[near ivy]

that might not be possible

[unkempt thicket]

sick

[random sleet]

i know it's possible playing cards are the same kind of thing as jokers fundamentally

theres just not usually a usecase for turning either into the other

[short surge]

yeah right now it's already done in a tricky way

[narrow pollen]

i've done this for X card

[short surge]

there's actually two cards, one playing card one joker

i timed the animation so it looks like transforming

[narrow pollen]

and joker sprites are fundamentally the same as playing card sprites... i think.

[short surge]

some cursed card would look like this btw

[random sleet]

i think all youd need to do is "enhance" it to the joker center

and maybe blank out the pcard data in base

[short surge]

it was huge pain for me initially, spent the entire day trying to figure out how it may work the best

[random sleet]

(after you backup the original card that is)

[short surge]

because there's all this card area bullshit

[random sleet]

yeah idk exactly how to do it just thinking aloud

[short surge]

this turned out to be extremely difficult to do actually

because cards need area, and every area transportation had animation

so it always look like a card just flying around

also you have to time the event right so it happens in the order you want

anyways it was good riddance. The disolving and materializing animation actually worked exactly like how the anime did so i was pretty happy

[random sleet]

oh fair

[narrow pollen]

...why is it that i can't loc_def an existing deck?

[short surge]

the exiting was a little anti climatic tho

[random sleet]

in that case sure, if it improves the reference

[narrow pollen]

wanting to show that black deck starts with the Hieroglyph voucher, not the "-0 voucher"

[random sleet]

idk High Card show tbh

[short surge]

yeah i won't recommend after seeing season 2 LMAO

[random sleet]

lol

[short surge]

almost in the de-referencing stage right now after i have done so much for the mod

i think advertising this as a reference had turned many people away

but at the end of the day it's just enhancing high card (as a poker hand) in balatro

[random sleet]

i just wanted it to be completed first/shrug

[short surge]

soon!

the last big item for me is the pack that opens xplaying cards

and also, after all are settled, port to 1.0, and then work on more suit support!

[random sleet]

will it have an api if we want to xpcard ourselves

[short surge]

maybe

it's actually not at all hard to add more cards for me now LOL, just have to make it nice and easy for everyone

but i really don't know how compatible this is to everybody else

[random sleet]

i do personally want to add a buttload of suits and ranks so

[short surge]

I have already attentionally reworked some logic so it supports more mod, but there's always more mod

[golden lake]

is anyone making an XChips api perhaps

[random sleet]

i was tempted to make a general "morefeatures" mod...

[mellow sable]

these effects work by the way (eternal is incomplete atm)

[random sleet]

with xchips, perma mult stuff, etc

[short surge]

oh allllllso is this out yet

[mellow sable]

I'll probably release a demo when we hit stake 16

this is for stake 11

[short surge]

better start to think how to make stuff compatible on my end

[mellow sable]

the mechanics are mostly done though

just need to make eternal compatible with a bunch of other ways to destroy/modify playing cards, and I should probably make perishable apply to cards that are in the deck/played as well

(rental being held in hand makes sense for me)

oh and also make a way to auto-compartmentalize my code

because I'm sure people will want just the harder stakes without the broken jokers this mod will also add

anyway gn

[short surge]

night night

[narrow pollen]

wouldn't xchips essentially be the same thing as xmult tho

[golden lake]

please do

i'll make art for a mod for you

[golden lake]

not really

it's way easier to get to say

200 chips

than 200 mult

[short surge]

but X applys to the both of them right

like 200(chips) x 40(mult) x3(Xmult)

[random sleet]

but coremods are illegal :(

[short surge]

is no different from 200(chips) x3(Xchips) x 40(mult)

[random sleet]

xchips works differently with 🍌

see here

[short surge]

hmmm

[golden lake]

i think its funny

and it does make a difference on uh

plasma deck

pushing your chips value higher will get you a higher possible average

im pretty sure

wait no

it doesnt

youre right lol

[random sleet]

however

xchips funny

[short surge]

tru

haha

[random sleet]

tru

i also had the idea for that mod to have negative pcard support so

[short surge]

emmm, like it doesn't take up hand limit when drawn?

[spice scroll]

anyone know how to make custom win/loss quips?

[random sleet]

ye

[golden lake]

autumn would you like to make a john egbert joker for balatrostuck

or a jade harley joker

just 1

i will make the art (as you instruct)

you will code

[random sleet]

i have no ideas

im also only like 1/4th (maybe) of the way into hs

[golden lake]

jade harley tho...

[random sleet]

best idea for her from me is gonna be the same thing you have magic cue ball as

i am just not qualified to help you lol

[spice scroll]

ok so i have this code working in game

the problem is undoing the hands gained at the end of the round makes it not count the money from those hands

what should i change context.end_of_round to?

[queen scroll]

use g.game.current_round.hands

then you don't need to reset it afterward, it will just work

[spice scroll]

instead of round.resets.hands?

[queen scroll]

yup

[spice scroll]

do i leave ease hands played

[random sleet]

cant you just ease hands

pretty sure that func changes the variable cheese mentioned

[queen scroll]

actually yeah, just use ease_hands_played and do nothing else

(i should know i literally did exact thing this like 30 minutes ago)

[spice scroll]

so like this then

[queen scroll]

yup

[spice scroll]

cool

what do you think of the joker btw

[queen scroll]

assuming it's a rare or legendary

right?

[spice scroll]

easier access

yea

[random sleet]

cant you check next(context.poker_hands["Flush"]) instead of listing every flush hand

[spice scroll]

then this is the other legendary

[spice scroll]

i was actually gonna ask abt that too thanks

[queen scroll]

that one's a bit underwhelming

[golden lake]

not really

[queen scroll]

it's only useful in very niche cases

[random sleet]

scaling inconsistent mult lets goooo

[spice scroll]

well its +0-22 mult each ante

[golden lake]

you're forgetting that it creates a negative joker you can sell for money

[queen scroll]

you have to remember, when you get a legendary joker you don't know what it will be in advance

that makes its balancing different to other jokers

[spice scroll]

its mostly designed thematically because its for a streamer who does game corruptions

[random sleet]

+3-25 mult per ante with abstract joker 🎉

[golden lake]

you have to remember chicot exists

[queen scroll]

negative misprint sells for like $7

[random sleet]

wait fr

way more than i thought

[golden lake]

thats a lot

[random sleet]

also

[queen scroll]

i thought $3 + $4 for negative

[spice scroll]

yeah this is why im concerned about quarterdumb more tbh because it is specific to certain builds

[queen scroll]

that's not legendary worthy

[random sleet]

literally all basegame legendaries not named perkeo are either dogwater or require face cards

[golden lake]

type A chatters be like

[queen scroll]

it wouldn't be that hard to pivot to flushes in a run, and the payout is decent

[golden lake]

btw do i take him (ignore the price tag he gives you 5 dollars when you pick him up and steals 2 when you sell him

[spice scroll]

i appreciate the critique tbh

[random sleet]

legendaries are already niche despite their pickup obfuscation

[spice scroll]

but for vinny i do wanna do something with misprints

[golden lake]

^

[random sleet]

oh is vincenzo The Man Himself?

[golden lake]

you could also increase the Misprint generation cap from 20 to 200

[queen scroll]

just know that yorick is still sad because of this comment

[golden lake]

in addition to creating negative misprints

[random sleet]

i had a run with yorick on red deck where i got both discard vouchers and he still wasnt the best vanilla joker i was carrying

[queen scroll]

you can make it generate them more frequently, like 1 in 2 chance when blind is selected

[golden lake]

balatrostuck legendaries are pieces of shit

[random sleet]

see thats good tho

niche as hell

but good as fuck in that niche

makes getting soul actually feel good instead of "man thats only half a hermit"

[golden lake]

he sucks (the guy on the card)

then theres abraxas <3

[spice scroll]

the legendaries are based on vinny and mikes clownsonas lmao

[random sleet]

oh i seeee

[golden lake]

i loooooove abraxas

[random sleet]

im not deep in the vinny lore

[golden lake]

hes so friendshaped

autumn do you like abraxas

[random sleet]

birb noodle

[spice scroll]

my ex has an oc that is so abraxascore

[golden lake]

yooo

[queen scroll]

has anyone here coded a food joker before? i literally copied and pasted the expiring code from bean and it's giving me an error

[spice scroll]

i have

kinda

but my code is prob not good lmao

[golden lake]

i've coded 4 and i will take the secret of making a food joker to the grave

[queen scroll]

i think it's somehow setting itself to nil before it finishes its animation

[queen scroll]

what's your mod called

[queen scroll]

MY CODE IS EXACTLY THAT WTF

[spice scroll]

huh

weird

[queen scroll]

cool now i can steal your secret

damn that was easy

[golden lake]

the repo is private and the mod isnt out for public

[queen scroll]

dammit

[golden lake]

https://tenor.com/view/home-stuck-aradia-megido-pointing-gif-3442035

[queen scroll]

what's the repo link btw??? it's for a school project

[golden lake]

not telling you also the repo is literally private for now

also i don't believe in formal education

[queen scroll]

*cool project

aka my mod

[golden lake]

but for real though, just debug the code LOL

[narrow pollen]

so how would i go about removing the "hearts?" suit

[golden lake]

you cant. its embedded into the soul of steamodded

attempting to remove it will result in IMMEDIATE death

[queen scroll]

but what if i want to transform the left selected card into the right selected card?

[golden lake]

not immediate Death

immediate death

there's a difference

[queen scroll]

idk what you're on about

[spice scroll]

but yeah uh, anyone know how to rewrite jimbos quips? thought it was misc.quips.lq_1 but its giving me an error

[golden lake]

you cant

this is just what he says

like this isnt coded in

jimbo just actually says that

[spice scroll]

ok but fr tho

[golden lake]

yeah fr

[long gust]

this is a good aesthetic. make a mod where everything is lowercase

[golden lake]

i should not be allowed to make mods

[edgy reef]

What are you cooking

[golden lake]

simple mafs

Pisces (Zodiac)

Played Queens add $(level) to interest amount
Each Queen increases interest rate by $1

in this graph

x -> number of played queens

a -> level of Pisces

d -> dollars you have

[random sleet]

i just commented out the hearts? constructor

[golden lake]

y -> dollars expected

[random sleet]

its in core/game_object.lua

[golden lake]

you can literally get 0 interest by playing too many queens

[golden lake]

@edgy reef this is so funny

playing 4 queens and playing 8 queens gives literally the exact same money at end of round

same with 7 and 14

[cinder cosmos]

I'm a noob guys and I have a blank joker template and mod loader etc and I want to do Hello Kitty jokers and I don't know what to type in blank joker, is there a list of effects etc I can use because I'm not a programner? I've seen guide but it just says "here you can describe effects of your joker" but idk the codes 😭

[random sleet]

theres not much "plug and play" support for effects, you'll probably have to code them yourself; fortunately, the game's own code is accessible with 7zip on Balatro.exr and you can usually find an example of something from another mod if you peek at their code.

[cinder cosmos]

I hope I'll figure out how to do at least one joker like +4 mult on my own, thank you for the answer

[random sleet]

its definitely not the worst way to learn Basic Programming but it can definitely be a bit obtuse, don't fret if you don't understand something right away

plenty of people here are rather knowledgeable about how the game handles things in at least a general sense

so if you're trying to get started, don't be afraid to ask for help. we all started somewhere, etc etc.

(just try not to be annoying about it (i.e. don't just randomly ping people or spam your question) and respect that people may or may not be available at any given time.)

[cinder cosmos]

Thank you for your support but I think I am too dumb to ask questions because I don't even know what questions should I ask

I don't understand why this blank joker says it adds x1.5 mult In-game but there's nothing about it in it's code

[random sleet]

unfortunately i am not at home rn so idk if i can be much help haha

sorry ^^"

[frosty dock]

the game's code but also other mods can be of help for getting started

some vanilla effects don't trigger based on the name of the joker, but on some property in its config table, like the sinful jokers that give mult for each card played of a specific suit

[cinder cosmos]

Hey it's no problem 🫶

It could take a lot of time to explain it to me lol

[cinder cosmos]

So there's a config table somewhere and while making a joker you must somehow refer to that table?

I'd be a waste of time for you guys, thanks for everything but I think I better give up

[frosty dock]

oh you're not a waste of time, we're happy to help anyone out!

all game objects like jokers and consumables and whatnot (at least their initial config) are defined in the function Game:init_item_prototypes() in game.lua

often, these special config values like I said earlier aren't what we need, in that case it can be useful to adapt the code of an existing joker to fit the needs of the one you want

[cinder cosmos]

I found what you talking about in balatro.exe and this will probably help me somehow and I've seen in one of guides about ownership or something

I just want to do let's say +20 chips joker

Nothing special

[royal ether]

a great way to get started is to peek at other peoples code

especially if their mod's jokers do something similar to what you want to do

[fading blaze]

...admittedly, I'm a little afraid to get the attention of one of the devs here, regarding any form of critique/feedback on some visual assets I've made in the style of the vanilla, unmodified game.

[royal ether]

post some pics, and someone will respond, most likely

we (usually) dont bite

[cinder cosmos]

I bite be careful

[crisp coral]

(ignore these bites

[zealous glen]

Most complicated effects require defining a calculate_joker function

[fading blaze]

Ah.

I'm more afraid anyone with LUA experience will snatch up the assets/concepts for the mod I have and take credit for 'em, I guess.

Not that I have anything to gain from keeping the assets to myself, I'm just a bit of a recluse.

[random sleet]

given the backlash the last person who tried that got, i'll bet you're fine

[royal ether]

^

what happened to that person anyways

[zealous glen]

Basically at specific moments the game goes over the list of Jokers, gives them some context, and asks them to calculate themselves. That’s when they can apply their effects

Some effects are hardcoded elsewhere, rather than calling calculate_joker

[fading blaze]

I mean, hey, if the community's got my back, then I'll share what I've got.

[random sleet]

idk i only speak english lol

[royal ether]

yea if anyone ever steals ur art, let everyone know and we'll kick up a storm

[zealous glen]

By the way @frosty dock any plans to add new contexts and calculate_joker calls people can use rather than everyone adding calculate_joker in the same hook?

[crisp coral]

i was going to ask who you were talking about but this message reminded me

[zealous glen]

Wait what happened

[royal ether]

someone stole art

for their mod

[zealous glen]

Apparently I need to add custom contexts to end_calculate_joker else things may break. I don’t remember seeing that listed anywhere lol

[crisp coral]

chinese dev stole a bunch of stuff from mika's

[zealous glen]

dang

[candid cloak]

Did they get banned?

[royal ether]

did we even ever find their discord username

i was kinda new still when it happened so i wasnt around as often as i am now to know all the details tbh

[frosty dock]

yeah there's SMODS.end_calculate_context which is patched into the vanilla function to ensure these jokers don't get called with added contexts

[zealous glen]

What if I change an existing context to have more information?

[frosty dock]

I've thought about adding a context API, but you would need to patch in the call where you need it either way, so not much use in that

[zealous glen]

As mentioned before, there’s use in avoiding each mod adding the same calculate_joker in the same spot

[frosty dock]

shouldn't impact things if no vanilla jokers assume that specific information is absent

[fading blaze]

Just now adding a TXT file to give more gameplay context to the existing card assets I've come up with.

I'll be sending a ZIP file here fairly soon.

[frosty dock]

well that's out of my hands unless I make an API that handles patching arbitrary places in code

[zealous glen]

Or make an API that adds that context

So the mod doesn’t itself need to add it

[random sleet]

i do have to ask tho, what is your goal? trying to find someone to handle coding them? or just getting feedback

[frosty dock]

you could have calculate joker calls literally anywhere though

[zealous glen]

Indeed but I’m talking about common effects multiple mods may want to implement

Not niche effects

There’s no point in an API for one-of-a-kind effects

[frosty dock]

yeah common effects could be added

[zealous glen]

The standard examples are Jokers that are hardcoded instead of calling calculate_joker

Like Golden Joker

[random sleet]

payout api is a thing right

[zealous glen]

Idk

But it’s just an example

[royal ether]

i remember someone tinkering with payout

dont remember what became of it tho

[zealous glen]

There are other hardcoded effects which I believe would benefit from having an unified calculate_joker call

Or nonexistent effects which could be added if they were deemed common enough among mods

Like “sell another Joker” or “when this Joker is destroyed”

[royal ether]

also i did get a payout feature working for balamod jokerapi if yall wanna look at it

[frosty dock]

quick reminder that steamodded isn't my project and anyone can submit anything they want to see added as a PR

[royal ether]

true

[zealous glen]

But those examples are mostly subjective because I’m implementing them, but I can name some mods that use them

[random sleet]

idk how to git :dumb:

[frosty dock]

payout arg API is a pull request but hasn't been merged yet

[royal ether]

me neither i just use github desktop

its like git for dummies

[zealous glen]

That’s fair, I’m presenting the idea to hear what people think, and I’m waiting for 1.0 to consider writing APIs

[fading blaze]

Should I sent the assets to the mod I've been wanting to make as a ZIP file here, or...?

[zealous glen]

I did write an API actually, which mostly works, but I’m waiting for… idk (NegativePlayableAPI)

[frosty dock]

create a post in #1209506514763522108, just sending things here will make them hard to find

[fading blaze]

Understood.

[random sleet]

maybe i should look into pr'ing smods but i dont wanna mess up your nice and neat code lol :stilldumb:

[frosty dock]

Anyway it's not part of my plans for 1.0.0, it doesn't need to be feature complete either way. It's way more easily maintainable and open to adding new APIs

[zealous glen]

That’s fair

[frosty dock]

uh dw about that, I don't mind cleanup

[zealous glen]

Do you people have any suggestions for contexts which would be useful for multiple mods? So far I have those three

Maybe a fourth to adding a Joker to the deck if set_ability doesn’t cut it, and another while generating shop contents. Maybe pack contents if there isn’t one.

[maiden phoenix]

Start of shop one would be cool too

If thats what you meant by generating shop contents

[fading blaze]

It is done.

I've posted my work in the #1209506514763522108 forum.

[zealous glen]

Maybe that works. In my mind, any effect that happens during or after a event can be replaced by one at the start, if it can remember and execute a “payout”.

[frosty dock]

oh I see... guess what my journey of balatro modding started with

#1210728178201526373

[zealous glen]

I think posting some art as images instead of a .zip would help

also name your .zip files totally_non_suspicious_file.zip for maximum trust

[frosty dock]

lol

[fading blaze]

I was actually thinking about creating a sixth suit to go with the fifth one, but that would effectively triple the amount of work I'd need to do.

[zealous glen]

At least when it comes to playing cards I think Six Hundred Suits automated it

[narrow pollen]

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

why is it so hard to disable the alpha suit

[random sleet]

the... what

[frosty dock]

Hearts?

you can literally just remove its definition

or do SMODS.Suits['Hearts?']:delete()

[narrow pollen]

i swear i did that and it yelled at me

like, idk

yep

game crashes when i start a new run

do i have to go through every deck and just

remove all the "Hearts?" cards first?

you'd think that'd be something that the API would take care of but

[long gust]

retexture hearts? to be green

[narrow pollen]

i'm moreso just... wanting standard 52-card decks again--

[long gust]

abandoned deck should be 50 cards now, that's close right?

[crisp coral]

okayi fixed ancestor

[random sleet]

??? works for me

[zealous glen]

I implemented this effect the other day, I think the same day you initially shared it

[crisp coral]

what the fuck do you mean

[zealous glen]

Though I don’t currently do anything with it

[random sleet]

Oops! The game crashed:
No```

[crisp coral]

oh i think i may know why

@frosty dock blind save/load functions does not save extra variables added to the blind

so atlas doesn't get saved

[frosty dock]

oh what a shame

[crisp coral]

though i don't know why it only fucked up when playing the blind and not generating the blind select

NEVERMIND it just

always fucks up

uhhh did i do it idk

[frosty dock]

damn

[crisp coral]

weh

[frosty dock]

bleh

[narrow pollen]

where the hell does it even get the hearts? suit FROM

oh

there it is

[frosty dock]

smh

we do a little trolling

[random sleet]

you should probably disable it before you forget for stable lol

[frosty dock]

i mean I'm done testing that part

sure i can get rid of it

[crisp coral]

any way to add localization without putting it in a gameobject?

[unkempt thicket]

Cool egg

[maiden phoenix]

I wish I was at least half as cool as him

[mellow sable]

glass cards that can never break

[odd dock]

thats strangely aweome

[crisp coral]

piss stake

[mellow sable]

I have a question about pee stake actually

right now the way I have rental and perishable setup they trigger if the card is held in hand at end of round

[odd dock]

if its for cryptid based on how you get them you might want to make it so they can't be modified if they're eternal

[mellow sable]

I think it makes more sense for perishable to also trigger if the card is in the deck

[crisp coral]

ya

[odd dock]

ya

[mellow sable]

I thought about that but it's consistent with how jokers can get editions after being eternal

plus the stakes are already brutal enough, this can alleviate the pain at least a bit

[odd dock]

could also remake it entirely and have it be after X triggers

who said we wanted to alleviate the pain?

[mellow sable]

yeah, but I don't want to add too much complexity to the mechanic

I'll probably just change it to be across the whole deck

[odd dock]

fair

[crisp coral]

i'm going to sleep now bye chat

[mellow sable]

bye

[odd dock]

G

[odd dock]

goodnight myst

piss stake right after shit stake huh

[mellow sable]

yep

oh also

[odd dock]

is the next one "moss stake" perhaps?

[mellow sable]

silver stake

[crisp coral]

also attached image may be relevant to something i'm doing

[mellow sable]

ok so I also have to loop through G.discard and G.deck

not just G.hand

[odd dock]

can it be changed to some nasty green?

[crisp coral]

puke stake

[mellow sable]

lmao

the colors are already pretty finalized but if anyone wants to draw a stake and sticker sprite I can do that

[odd dock]

yeah vomit stake

i'll consider it later today if i remember, shouldn't be that hard

[mellow sable]

alr

there's already spritesheets in the cryptid github you can use to reference

lmao

[ruby geyser]

Please tell me this is a for a Soul animation and not just a card lol

[torpid raptor]

The Goker...

[open garden]

Eggker

[frosty dock]

rn, you need to put in in the process_loc_text function of a game object to do it cleanly

maybe I should add a way to do it independently of another object

[royal ridge]

if self.ability.name == 'Spare Trousers' and (next(context.poker_hands['Two Pair']) or next(context.poker_hands['Full House'])) and not context.blueprint then
just wanna know, do spare trousers need to additionally check for full houses?

[frosty dock]

no

poker hand eval handles setting two pair as well if there's a full house

perhaps it was needed before and has become redundant

[royal ridge]

huh

good to know, thanks

[coral forge]

Is there a way to get the game to launch without steam running? The ram overhead from steam when running multiple copies at once is bottlenecking me atm

[frosty dock]

I'm pretty sure the answer is no

[gaunt thistle]

steamcmd https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Command_line_options#SteamCMD

[rough furnace]

There's also steam emulators you can use

[gaunt thistle]

technically piracy

[rough furnace]

Is it?

[gaunt thistle]

they're dubious since they're meant to bypass steam DRM

[rough furnace]

I mean is it really DRM?

Also is it piracy if I own the game?

[frosty dock]

fun

[coral forge]

I mean it would enable piracy I guess, but in theory I think they would be allowed if you had rights to the game and the emulator didn't use any stolen or copyrighted code. I think?

[rough furnace]

I mean every kind of emulator could enable piracy

[coral forge]

This would avoid the ram overhead?

[gaunt thistle]

it's the best you're going to get without us going into a rule-breaking discussion :-)

it's pretty lightweight

[coral forge]

Alrighty, thanks!

[gaunt thistle]

good luck!

[mellow sable]

are you all ready?

[coral forge]

Is this an alternate stakes mod?

Seems neat

[mellow sable]

more stakes mod

[coral forge]

Oh so is that on top of gold etc? Oof

[mellow sable]

yep

[coral forge]

I guess that would at least give me an excuse to go back to the fun decks instead of banging my head on the last few gold stakes

[bold osprey]

Well, that is funny

[frosty dock]

i feel like this needs pages

[mellow sable]

I have it show only 8 as a placeholder for pages in the API

becuase idk how to do that

[frosty dock]

poker hand api implements pages, ig you have that to go off

or I'll do it once merged or whatever

[mellow sable]

I probably would merge it if not for it breaking on profile switching

Actually that may have been because I had the API as part of a mod when testing that

Rather than in loadAPIs

[bold osprey]

Where can I find an example of redefining the text that appears on a joker/tarot card ? please

[mellow sable]

Yeah no, it still completely breaks

It looks like it has something to do with trying to register the stakes twice or something

[frosty dock]

uh yeah they don't get reset on reloads

try moving everything in inject to register instead

[cinder cosmos]

I give up, was trying all day long on my own but in result I had crashes and nothing was working, maybe one day if someone records the video I'll try again, it's too complicated :c

I tried while taking other mods as an example but I am literally too dumb 😂

Thanks for motivation guys, that was a great experience anyway

[gaunt thistle]

is it crashing at startup?

ah wait we're in the dev chat, I can't help

[cinder cosmos]

I was trying to develop my mod, or one Joker at least so I guess it's the right place

And yeah, it crashes at startup

[gaunt thistle]

I can help if it's lovely related but I'm useless otherwise

[narrow pollen]

hmm. should i make the sin jokers have a 1 in X chance of replacing other suit conversion tarots with its own?

[maiden phoenix]

If you don't mind sharing your code some of us could help

[narrow pollen]

or even a stacktrace could help, sometimes

[frosty dock]

what is this guy doing here 🤔

[narrow pollen]

isn't there a voucher or something that makes spectrals invade arcana packs?

[frosty dock]

you see this is round 0

help they're taking over my game

[narrow pollen]

i'm assuming you're not using debug mode to test crap then?

[frosty dock]

nope

uh

[narrow pollen]

i think that soul_type might have something to do with it

yep

because remember

the soul can be found in both spectral AND ARCANA

and then you finding three of them can potentially be explained by can_repeat_soul

[frosty dock]

yeah i set it up in a way where it can be replaced either when generating a soulable card of its own set, or another specified one

[narrow pollen]

but that's my analysis of your code

[frosty dock]

yeah you got it

I'm basically replacing 70% of all tarot/spectral pack cards with useless trash

[narrow pollen]

you made it sound like that isn't exactly what you intended

hence why i went "oop, yeah there's your problem"

[frosty dock]

oh no it's exactly what I wanted

[narrow pollen]

...

[maiden phoenix]

What's can_repeat_soul?

Like they can show up multiple times?

[frosty dock]

allows repeats of it in the same pack

[maiden phoenix]

Oh alright

[narrow pollen]

someone wanna tell me why this code isn't printing anything when i started with vagabond and lusty joker?

[frosty dock]

technically also allows it to show up if you're holding one already

[narrow pollen]

it's not printing the type of card spawned, and it's not printing "Hearts"

[frosty dock]

wdym by starting with these jokers?

[narrow pollen]

i mean, spawning them in with debug mode

[frosty dock]

yeah that doesn't call create_card

[narrow pollen]

but i'm talking about the tarots spawned by vagabond

[frosty dock]

oh i can't read apparently

[night pagoda]

hey devchat is it possible to do stuff with debuffed context.other_card in Jokers calculation?

[narrow pollen]

i'm just trying to see if i can have generated tarots (and maybe playing cards) more greatly favor the suit of the sin joker in question

[frosty dock]

considering debuff is always to be checked against, it should be of no problem to break that rule

(shop rates anyone?)

[night pagoda]

I tried that and it didn't get called

maybe messed something up

[frosty dock]

me too maybe, I thought I had defaults working? it's just giving me jimbo

oh hm

[night pagoda]

it feels like debuffed cards do not even "exist" in context.other_card in G.play

[frosty dock]

i think they get skipped for context.individual somewhere else

[zealous glen]

That’s a debuffed Joker

Not debuffed playing cards

[night pagoda]

oh shoot

I can't find anything then tbh

I'm not even sure how I'd bypass that

[narrow pollen]

found the problem

or... so i thought.

[random sleet]

that should be ipairs yeah

[worldly sapphire]

is there a way to put custom music in balatro?

[narrow pollen]

but it's not even printing out the type of card created, actually

and it should at least be giving me that... right, autumn?

[frosty dock]

got shop defaults working (these are both test cards)

[zealous glen]

You should add something insane to these previews just to keep people guessing

Like Herobrine

[narrow pollen]

"fixed" coding

[zealous glen]

Maybe a new UI element that just reads “Juice: 80%”
