[shell timber]

oh that looks cool

[royal ether]

i think if the top ones looked more '3d' it would look way better, but it already looks really nice as is

like if the pattern changes when it goes from front face to inside face

[golden lake]

btw here's how it looks like with transparency (not final)

[golden lake]

lmao not doing that

[royal ether]

yea i understand xdd

its nice tho

are red & blue the main colours of homestuck

[golden lake]

no

i made it red and blue because balatro

[royal ether]

oh true

[golden lake]

main color of homestuck is green

[royal ether]

i was thinking "damn red & blue just like balatro no way"

[maiden phoenix]

Idk what you use but wouldn't it be better if this bit was behind the R?

[golden lake]

layering issues

it was that before

[zealous glen]

I thought it was an intentional change lol

[maiden phoenix]

Uhm do you code in 0.9.8 or 1.0.0? If you code in 0.9.8 I'd recommend seeing how Codex Arcanum

[zealous glen]

0.9.8

[maiden phoenix]

oooh

[maiden phoenix]

Yea then check the mod then

[zealous glen]

I had checked uhhh Autumn Circus

But for some reason when I wrote it it didn’t work

But require worked so

[zealous glen]

I think I have an old version of it that’s just a single file lol

[maiden phoenix]

Maybe you had the wrong path or something

[golden lake]

fixed layering

[wintry solar]

Looks neato, I feel the ace is sticking out a bit too far and personally would push it in a bit more but I can understand if it’s where the O should be

[golden lake]

chat am i just. making a website at this point

[wild gyro]

yes

[royal ridge]

SMODS.Sprite({key = "j_ccc_jokers", path = "j_ccc_jokers.png", px = 71, py = 95, atlas = "asset_atlas"}):register()
am i stupid or does this just not work anymore in recent smod 1.0.0 commits

(path is fine for sure, and i'm using j_ccc_jokers as key)

[crisp coral]

does not work

remove register

[royal ridge]

tysm

[remote shell]

how do i make a boss blind

actually i think i can just poke around in existing blind mods

i have no idea whats going on

[remote coral]

https://tenor.com/view/jfk-clone-high-i-like-your-funny-words-magic-man-jack-black-gif-18659433

[remote shell]

i havent even seen a tutorial for even starting to make a mod

[slow ocean]

wtf this is epic

[storm pike]

Im making my own card game, and its kinda spooky how u included zodiacs into this mod, cus im also using astrology in my game lol. Can you tell me more about your mod?

[golden lake]

its a homestuck mod lmao

[storm pike]

Oh i just googled what that is. Okay haha.

[wintry solar]

why won't this inject? 😭

[frosty dock]

try with double quotes instead of multiline ones for the pattern

otherwise check you're giving it all of the line

[wintry solar]

nope, still doesn't work

I just get Applied 0 patches to card.lua in the console

huh, if I change it to the next line and before it works

[frosty dock]

jank alert

which lovely version are you running?

[toxic crystal]

i don't think the pattern is correct, i searched for it and it looks different

[wintry solar]

0.5.0 beta 2

[toxic crystal]

"if self.edition or self.seal" should be enough

[wintry solar]

oh maybe the files I've copied out to reference have changed in the patch

[toxic crystal]

there's only 1 occurance of this found

[wintry solar]

can I use just the start of a line to get it to inject on the next line?

[toxic crystal]

oh good point

[wintry solar]

also I did have outdated reference files -_-

[toxic crystal]

idk actually

[wintry solar]

it's working now

thanks

[gaunt thistle]

you can

the pattern patch operates on entire lines

at least iirc I may be dumb

[toxic crystal]

i'm gonna check then gimme a sec

[gaunt thistle]

idk I can ask the guy who made it if you want

[wintry solar]

I'll just test it

well removing half the string stopped it injecting so I'm guessing not

[gaunt thistle]

you need to match the entire line

with the pattern patch

[wintry solar]

can I match just the end?

[gaunt thistle]

with no whitespace either before or after

[wintry solar]

or does it parse by entire lines?

[gaunt thistle]

nope, has to be the entire line

[wintry solar]

cool cool

[gaunt thistle]

before with insert your payload before the matched line, after will insert after, at will replace the line

[wintry solar]

can you pattern match an entire block?

[gaunt thistle]

nope, you need to use the regex patch for that

[worldly sapphire]

is there a way i can create a check to see if i sold a joker?

[mellow crag]

hi guys

im tired

what have you been up to?

[remote coral]

Hi tired, I’m Clay

[worldly sapphire]

how do create a check for a joker to make it knows when i sell another joker?

[leaden belfry]

the game will let every joker know by call joker:calculate({selling_card=true,card=card}), you just need react on it

you can search campfire in card.lua for an example

[maiden veldt]

is there a way for me to change what hex code the game calls for when running stuff like C:red and C:attention

[frosty dock]

there's a function loc_colour that defines the values you can use this way, when and if you want to add new ones. For existing ones, you just need to change the corresponding colors in G.C

So for {C:red}, you would want to change G.C.RED

[maiden veldt]

would G.C.RED be in globals.lua?

[frosty dock]

you should just be able to access it in your mod's code

[maiden veldt]

thanks, i'll try and figure it out

[worldly sapphire]

i made the joker react when i sell

just need a way to make it activate when i play a hand

[wintry solar]

hmmmmmm

[leaden belfry]

if context.cardarea == G.jokers then

you can search this in source for example of what to do.

[zealous glen]

if context.selling_card and (context.card.ability.set and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker') and (context.card ~= self) then

I made a spreadsheet to keep track of ideas for a mod

[manic nest]

Yo victin can’t send code cuz im at work but do you have any idea why id be getting this error @zealous glen

Been looking over it and I just can’t figure it out

[worldly sapphire]

i played a card after i upgraded the joker and i got this

[zealous glen]

Some table is empty. Could be a typo or syntax error

[zealous glen]

Syntax error

[worldly sapphire]

        if context.selling_card and (context.card.ability.set and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker') and (context.card ~= self) then
        card_eval_status_text(self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')});
        self.ability.mult = self.ability.mult + self.ability.extra
        end
       return {
        message = localize('k_mult_ex'),
                colour = G.C.RED,
                card = self,
                mult_mod = self.ability.mult
       }
    end```

this is how the code is

[zealous glen]

try changing the ; to nothing actually

are you sure you want the return outside the if?

[frosty dock]

; does nothing iirc

[zealous glen]

(as in, delete the ;)

[zealous glen]

I think I've seen it used to write multiple statements in a single line

[manic nest]

What would I even do about a syntax error

[frosty dock]

it's only useful for putting multiple statements in one line

[zealous glen]

by thunk even

[frosty dock]

but no "practical" use

[zealous glen]

fix it?

[frosty dock]

(I don't consider minifying practical)

[worldly sapphire]

i tried putting the return inside the if and i got a infinite loop of upgrade

[zealous glen]

I don't know why it would loop but looking at it again I actually think you can remove the return since you don't need it for what you have, I think

[worldly sapphire]

like, i want the joker to get upgraded by selling jokers, then when i play a card it applies the mult to the counter

[zealous glen]

You don't need the return for that

You'll probably need a return to make it apply the mult, but not for that

[worldly sapphire]

let me send the code

[manic nest]

This is the code I posted yesterday I changed local_def to loc_Testcard and fixed the sprite issue I had at least I think I did but then it brought up the main.Lua error

[worldly sapphire]

SMODS.Jokers.j_sharpener.calculate = function(self, context)
        if context.selling_card and (context.card.ability.set and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker') and (context.card ~= self) then
        card_eval_status_text(self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')})
        self.ability.mult = self.ability.mult + self.ability.extra
        end
       return {
        message = localize('k_mult_ex'),
                colour = G.C.RED,
                card = self,
                mult_mod = self.ability.mult
       }
    end```

this is the version with the code you replied to me

[zealous glen]

Try writing
```lua
YOUR CODE HERE
```

@manic nest

[zealous glen]

And again you don't need the return for this part

[worldly sapphire]

do i just delete the {} part?

[manic nest]

Wym

[manic nest]

Ah I see

And just put that from the top of the code to the bottom?

[worldly sapphire]

ok the joker works

now i need to make it give the mult

[zealous glen]

Delete the return {…}

[zealous glen]

You'll want to check for the context when you want it to give Mult and then give Mult

[worldly sapphire]

probably another if?

do i add the context in here?

or do i create a if before or after?

[thorn bough]

can you no longer directly add the the game localization tables in staemodded 1.0.0?

[frosty dock]

there was always an issue with that where changing languages would overwrite your additions

you can define a function SMODS.current_mod.process_loc_text() and have your logic for adding localization not bound to a specific object in there, and it will get re-injected when necessary

[thorn bough]

i see, Thanks!

[frosty dock]

np^

[thorn bough]

now to deal with the next issue, jimbo infection

[frosty dock]

jimbofection

ah yes

if I can be of any help, individual files for each sprite is discouraged, so these are no longer recognized by the API

if you want your own atlas, you have to specify it

[thorn bough]

is there no easy way to keep them separate?

[frosty dock]

you can still create each atlas and pass its key all the same

[worldly sapphire]

and i can't progress further

[zealous glen]

I wonder if that would solve my issues with localization

though I'm still in 0.9.8

[worldly sapphire]

idk what to do

[maiden phoenix]

You mean this? Cuz if so I'm concerned too

[frosty dock]

yeah you just shove that in SMODS.current_mod.process_loc_text

[maiden phoenix]

Ok 👍

[random sleet]

anything you change in G.localization needs to be in a process_loc_text somewhere

[frosty dock]

it's quite simply needed to have any chance of supporting localization at all

[random sleet]

either on a game object or the whole mod

[zealous glen]

The game calls the function calculate_joker at specific moments. You don't know when the function is called a priori, so you need to find out while the function is executing and program accordingly. For example, think of the Jokers you've already coded and think of every time their calculate function is called and they have nothing to do.

[frosty dock]

just to clarify, the reason why it doesn't work at all in 1.0 versus only after a language change is that with the current timing of mod loading, the reference that G.localization holds at load time falls out of use during injection, since set_language needs an additional call to be able to load modded languages right away

[maiden phoenix]

Do I need to call the function for each line?

[frosty dock]

terms are being mixed up here

there's two things

SMODS.process_loc_text is a helper function that handles registering the loc text for the currently selected language if supported

[maiden phoenix]

I'm looking at the function itself and I'm a bit confused 😅

[frosty dock]

you don't need to use this function if you don't plan to support more than one language

[wintry solar]

function poll_edition(_key, _mod, _no_neg, _guaranteed, _options)
    _mod = _mod or 1
    local edition_poll = pseudorandom(pseudoseed(_key or 'edition_generic'))
    if _guaranteed then
        if edition_poll > 1 - 0.003*25 and not _no_neg then -- > 0.925
            return {negative = true}
        elseif edition_poll > 1 - 0.006*25 then -- > 0.85
            return {polychrome = true}
        elseif edition_poll > 1 - 0.02*25 then -- > 0.5
            return {holo = true}
        elseif edition_poll > 1 - 0.04*25 then -- > 0
            return {foil = true}
        end
    else
        if edition_poll > 1 - 0.003*_mod and not _no_neg then
            return {negative = true}
        elseif edition_poll > 1 - 0.006*G.GAME.edition_rate*_mod then
            return {polychrome = true}
        elseif edition_poll > 1 - 0.02*G.GAME.edition_rate*_mod then
            return {holo = true}
        elseif edition_poll > 1 - 0.04*G.GAME.edition_rate*_mod then
            return {foil = true}
        end
    end
    return nil
end

how is best to let people define their own weights for random edition chance?

[frosty dock]

then, there's a process_loc_text function you can define on your mod object

this function will get called on each injection

[wintry solar]

just let people input a float to the edition creation?

[zealous glen]

I think it would need an order value and a probability

Or you can convert from this method to weights

[frosty dock]

seems reasonable, I would just be concerned with making sure it doesn't screw with vanilla RNG if nothing else is loaded

[zealous glen]

But preserving vanilla RNG seems tough if you convert it to weights? maybe?

I guess only if you mess with the order

[wintry solar]

yeah I plan on coding it so it'll iterate through in order of probability

[maiden phoenix]

But what if the text isn't tied to a mod object?

[frosty dock]

I'm not talking about a modded object

[zealous glen]

I don't think that's ideal

[frosty dock]

I'm talking about the object that holds information on your mod

[zealous glen]

You might want a rare effect but for it not to override Negative

[maiden phoenix]

Oh does that mean I have to make the mod have its own dictionnary for those kind of messages?

[zealous glen]

Using weights makes the order irrelevant, I think I'm partial to that implementation

[wintry solar]

is there a base effect that can add ANY edition?

oh I suppose just the shop spawn

[zealous glen]

The shop?

Also packs

[frosty dock]

you can use the exact code you already have, you just need to wrap it in

function SMODS.current_mod.process_loc_text()

end

[maiden phoenix]

Man why am I overcomplicating things...

[frosty dock]

sorry if I made that sound more complicated

[maiden phoenix]

Not it's my fault

Thanks for the help as always 👍

[frosty dock]

no it's tough when there are no docs, I really need to get on them

[random sleet]

does process_loc_text get passed anything? might be convenient if it is passed the language the game is using currently

[maiden phoenix]

It's my own decision to start updating my mod to v1.0.0 without ressources so I can only blame myself 😅

[frosty dock]

that information is globally accessible

[random sleet]

oh is it? 😅

[frosty dock]

SMODS.process_loc_text parses language information, using that should be enough in most cases

[wintry solar]

so current weights would be 1:2:6.6:13.3 (negative:poly:holo:foil)?

[frosty dock]

it's just G.SETTINGS.language, yeah

while on the topic, why not drop an explanation of this here...

• we first need to find the target loc text. If provided a table, check if an index for the current language exists, else use default or en-us keys if present. If provided a string or the previous check didn't succeed, use the loc_txt directly
• optionally, if loc_txt is still a table and a key is supplied, index by that key. this exists to allow languages to be top-level keys and not have to be repeated for each entry
• at this point, if we end up with an empty table or something that is neither a string or a table, do nothing. else copy the target to the ref table

[wintry solar]

wait no, it'd be 3:3:14:20:960 (N:P:H:F:Base)

but then poly is 6 is it cant be negative

right?

[zealous glen]

If you use the ranges [math.huge, 1 - 0.003), [1 - 0.003, 1 - 0.006), [1 - 0.006, 1 - 0.02), and [1 - 0.02, 1 - 0.04) that's equivalent to vanilla, and in terms of weights that's 3, 3, 14, 20, and 960 (for no edition)

[maiden phoenix]

I was wondering Aure, since calculate and friends are all inside the SMODS.Joker table, is it valid to use self as the first parameter instead of card as a good writing convention?

[zealous glen]

If your function weight -> ranges results in this mapping for vanilla, then it should be equivalent

Which should be approximately equivalent to testing if the sampled value x is such that x > 1 - (w1 + … + wi) / (total_weight)

minus rounding errors

Sorry, let me fix that to make it equal to vanilla

There

That might be a bit tricky to check since IIRC different operating systems round differently

[wintry solar]

should I code in base card weight as 960?

[zealous glen]

The only alternative I can think of is using a multiple of 960 and multiplying the base weights of editions by the same factor

[wintry solar]

I'm just thinking of making it so you can choose which editions are included in the random selection, but would that screw up the weights?

so if I selected base, foil and holo, they'd be out of 996

although I guess the ratio of 20/996 and 960/996 is the same as 20/1000 and 960/1000

[zealous glen]

The game sort of already does this by forcing editions

[zealous glen]

I think an useful feature would be have replacing and non-replacing weights, in case a mod wants to make no edition cards less likely but keep the vanilla editions just as likely

[wintry solar]

yeah I can make it so you can adjust the base edition weights

local available_editions = _options or {'negative', 'polychrome', 'holo', 'foil'}
    local total_weight = 0
    for _,v in ipairs(available_editions) do
        total_weight = total_weight + edition_weights[v]
    end
    ```

this should get the total weight from the selected editions I think

[zealous glen]

maybe math.max{edition_weights[v], 0} or whatever the correct syntax is

Also maybe have the total weight start at 960 but allow it to be customizeable?

[wintry solar]

I'll implement customising base weights afterwards

what's the use of the math.max?

[worldly sapphire]

but, i tested putting the if below and after the sell check and i got nothing

i really don't know what to do

[zealous glen]

Suppose the no edition weight is 1, that edition_weights['negative'] = -1, and there are no other editions

[zealous glen]

You probably didn't write the condition correctly

Or the return correctly

[wintry solar]

but why would you have a negative weight?

[zealous glen]

Multiple mods can reduce the weight

[worldly sapphire]

SMODS.Jokers.j_sharpener.calculate = function(self, context)
        if context.selling_card and (context.card.ability.set and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker') and (context.card ~= self) then
        card_eval_status_text(self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')})
        self.ability.mult = self.ability.mult + self.ability.extra
end
end```

this is how it is

i don't know what to do

[wintry solar]

wouldn't they just adjust the _mod value though?

which is multiplicative rather than additive

[zealous glen]

Well, you card does what you programmed it to do, which is to increase its own self.ability.mult when you sell a Joker

[worldly sapphire]

but, i need to make it give the mult when i play

:/

[zealous glen]

They might want to change the vanilla weights in all contexts

[zealous glen]

Then write code to do that

[worldly sapphire]

do i just need to put a return?

[wintry solar]

I guess, they still shouldn't be negative though

[zealous glen]

No

Again you need to check if the context is appropriate to execute what you want it to do, which is to grant a mult bonus

[worldly sapphire]

so if i do: if context.ability.mult then

[zealous glen]

I don't think that context exists, so it would never be true. It'd probably just crash because context.ability doesn't exist

[worldly sapphire]

context.mult?

[zealous glen]

No

I think the context would be the same as Stuntman, so maybe try that

Or failing that, Supernova

@fathom raven This is for 0.9.8, which is the latest release, but 1.0 is in alpha

[worldly sapphire]

i think i need context.other_card (I'm actually lost, i'm not joking)

[worldly sapphire]

and i'm sorry if im making too many questions and being annoying

[fathom raven]

Thank you!

[zealous glen]

Probably not, unless you want the effect to depend on a specific card existing

[zealous glen]

Supernova is also just out-of-frame; after Stuntman there's Matador then Supernova

[maiden phoenix]

If you want to do something at the end of a played hand (like all the examples above) you can also use SMODS.end_calculate_context(context) as a cond

[random sleet]

(in smods 1.0, it patches vanilla jokers to use that same function also)

[zealous glen]

By the way, if I didn't mention it, it's missing the assets, so you'll need to add some to make sure it works

YourModFolder/assets/1x and YourModFolder/assets/2x for normal and double size art

[worldly sapphire]

i can't ☹️

i'm gonna stop for now

[wintry solar]

@zealous glen does this look like it matches base functionality to you?

function poll_edition(_key, _mod, _no_neg, _guaranteed, _options)
    local _modifier = 1
    local edition_rate = 1
    local edition_poll = pseudorandom(pseudoseed(_key or 'edition_generic'))
    local available_editions = {}
    if _options then
        available_editions = _options
    elseif _no_neg then
        available_editions = base_editions_no_neg
    else
        available_editions = base_editions
    end

    local total_weight = 0
    for _,v in ipairs(available_editions) do
        total_weight = total_weight + edition_weights[v]
    end
    
    if not _guaranteed then
        edition_rate = G.GAME.edition_rate
        _modifier = _mod or 1
        total_weight = total_weight*edition_rate*_modifier + edition_weights["base"]
    end
    
    local weight_i = 0
    for _,v in ipairs(available_editions) do
        weight_i = weight_i + edition_weights[v]*edition_rate*_modifier
        if edition_poll > 1 - (weight_i)/total_weight*edition_rate*_modifier then
            return {[v] = true}
        end
    end
    return nil
end

[mellow sable]

the best way to test is to compare a seed with The Soul tbh

I think it looks pretty good

[wintry solar]

The Soul won't access this function

but good shout, I can use Aura instead

seems to match

[random sleet]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1232562163273433088 i believe this is what they meant

[wintry solar]

oh right

yeah matches with a seed too

[mellow sable]

I mean both ways work

[maiden phoenix]

Well finally ported all of SDM_0's Stuff to SMODS 1.0.0, tomorrow I'm gonna try almost everything too see if everything works properly

[zealous glen]

Looks good except for rounding errors maybe

[wintry solar]

it works!

can also change base game weightings

[zealous glen]

The final anaglyph effect looks quite good. How did you do it in the end?

[wintry solar]

I ended up lowering the alpha value where it's over the top of darker parts of the card so it wasn't jsut drawing all over the top

it still looks cursed on certain jokers but it'll do for now

I need to work out how to get the mod badge on the cards and then I think I'll work on automatically adding tags to spawn jokers in the shop

[zealous glen]

I don’t think that’s necessary but it could be an example for the Tag API

[wintry solar]

I'll take a look at Tag API tomorrow and see what I think

is it in 0.9.8 or just 1.0?

[unkempt thicket]

i think just 1.0

[edgy reef]

It wasn't added until 1.0 yea

[maiden phoenix]

Nice figured out the modicon too, maybe I won't make it look like a tag if I'm not lazy

[unkempt thicket]

how does atlases work i think im doing it wrong(with 1.0 steamodded)

[maiden phoenix]

Pretty sure individual sprite doesn't work on 1.0 now

That or maybe you should try using SMODS.Sprite? I don't recognize the syntax you use

[hollow marsh]

I'm looking to make a mod and I need the input to be put into a hex value. How would I go about this? This is what I have atm

left image is the value I am trying to edit

[solemn coral]

Is there an easy way to make multiple consumables with a similar effect?

I'm trying to make an array of 8 consumables that each apply a different enhancement, and I'd like to have the enhancement as a string inside the consumable and be able to just use that instead of having to copy-paste the entire effect code only to change a single value.

[royal ether]

i think theres a way to do it, called like mod_conv or something. try looking at what the vanilla enhancement consumables do

like tower, magician, etc

specifically, look at their config parameter in game.lua

[solemn coral]

I see how they do it that way, I just don't know how to get it to work in Steammodded

The way I've been doing it is assigning a function SMODS.Tarots.c_disc_mult.use(card, area, copier) for each of my consumables, replacing c_disc_mult with whaever the new consumable is, and I'm wondering if there's a way to make that one function apply to eight different consumables

[random sleet]

save the function to a variable var, then set SMODS.Tarots.<card>.use = var

although yeah you can just use mod_conv in config to have vanilla functionality take place

[solemn coral]

Aha, that looks like it's working! Thank you!

[hoary sand]

how are sprites set up in 1.0?

[mellow sable]

i did the thing

[neon elbow]

Trying to make my joker sprites look better. Any feedback? (Name: Tungsten Joker, Effect: -1 hand size, in 3 rounds, this breaks and creates The Soul)

[remote shell]

that better be rare as all getout

and expensive

love the sprite tho it's funny

[neon elbow]

A rare joker and $10 -> 3 rounds down a joker slot and a hand size -> gets Chicot. I think its fine but im willing to hear otherwise

[remote shell]

i'd bump it up to 12 because here's the thing right

if it goes into your consumables slots

the soul i mean

then uh

perkeo could dupe it

over and over

[neon elbow]

I mean perkeo already breaks everything in half by existing

[remote shell]

i'd say just have it pop into a legendary joker, bypassing the soul entirely for that reason

rare joker, 12 big ones, -1 hand size, 3 rounds

that should be an appropriate cost for a legend

[neon elbow]

Hmm, i thought about the perkeo synergy but never really considered the wider implications

[remote shell]

showman
get perkeo
perkeo perkeo

cascading perkeos

[neon elbow]

i restart my runs until i get atleast 17 perkeos, anything else is a dead run tbh

[remote shell]

if you dont have 26 triboulets are you even playing balatro

[neon elbow]

30 chicots -> The Manacle -> 29 permanent hand size -> naneinf

[remote shell]

57 canios -> pareidolia -> immolate

[neon elbow]

456 Jimbos -> Lose ante 10

[remote shell]

74 vampires -> only scale one for the entire run -> die

[neon elbow]

I feel we've veered off topic here

[remote shell]

undoubtedly

Game development

Which is unfortunately not Balatro modding 😢

[narrow pollen]

✨

(i would totally put the stone tooltip there, but it's not working.)

[gilded blaze]

stone card (rank 50)

[hallow forge]

Strength the Stone Card

rank 51

[crisp coral]

how is it not?

[narrow pollen]

i don't know. i genuinely don't know.

ah, it's probably because T: only works for decks for

some reason

[mellow crag]

BTW @frosty dock how do I check if a card is in the collection or not?

[azure wraith]

that's a common? it seems pretty strong
or is that just for testing purposes

[remote shell]

does anyone have like a step by step tutorial on how to make a mod, even a template or dummy mod would do

[crisp coral]

i wonder why you don't add a tooltip

[narrow pollen]

testing purposes

[narrow pollen]

i'm trying to

(pretty sure i remembered to click "OFF" that time)

[azure wraith]

i mean it sounds fun to build into

[narrow pollen]

yeah, and all it does for score is allow you to make better hands with stones

like, that's good, don't get me wrong

[azure wraith]

getting easy-ish access to 5oaks sounds nice

[narrow pollen]

assuming you get like

marble joker or a bunch of towers

[azure wraith]

standard packs always feel like they're drowning in stone to me, too

[narrow pollen]

ah yeah, i forget standard packs can give that

[azure wraith]

i mean its not clear how it plays out to me, exactly

[narrow pollen]

it's a really good stone support joker

[azure wraith]

both tower and death let you create stone cards which means you are filling up your deck for 5oak a bit less than 2x as fast

[narrow pollen]

but only really good if you have a way to get stones

death is already the kind of 5oak

[azure wraith]

yeah but i felt like it was worth mentioning

you're not reliant on pulling just one tarot

[narrow pollen]

yeah, it's not hard to get stones

[azure wraith]

ofc you start with 0 stone

[narrow pollen]

but it's also not always possible to get stones

[azure wraith]

i think another thing that makes it a bit less appealing is that stones already give you a ton of chips which is often the primary motivation in using high scoring hands

[narrow pollen]

i got it working!

[mellow crag]

does anyone know if it's possible to change the texture of one joker without changing the texture of another joker of the same kind?

[random sleet]

make sure you set enhancement_gate

[narrow pollen]

set what now?

[random sleet]

you can modify card.children.center

[random sleet]

on the joker, enhancement_gate is how e.g. Lucky Cat and Glass Joker only appear when you have the matching card enhancements

[random sleet]

i think you can set card.children.center.pos directly but dont quote me on thay

and card.children.floating_sprite for soul_pos cards, if that's your goal

[mellow crag]

oh great autumn

could you help me with something?

[frosty dock]

collection is tied directly to G.P_CENTER_POOLS

[mellow crag]

i meant like, if a certain card is in the collection UI right now

cause i want to change its loc_txt accordingly

(also, there's an issue with the loc_txt method in consumables, you cannot access the data inside card.ability with it)

so you can't really make it dynamic

[frosty dock]

card.area == G.your_collection probably

[frosty dock]

I actually pass the card as another argument

[frosty dock]

self, info_queue, card

can't just be card, info_queue because the card might not exist

[mellow crag]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[random sleet]

maybe

[mellow crag]

that explains a lot

[random sleet]

what is it

[frosty dock]

I did only add that recently though when implementing nonconsumables

[random sleet]

i love nonconsumables

[frosty dock]

all I wanted was a card that shatters after using 5 times, and I needed the card to display state

[random sleet]

it is interesting that that was not standard functionality but ig i understand why

nothing uses it

aure would you be mad at me if i made like three coremods needed for thac to have full functionality lmao

[frosty dock]

it's not something I approve of, but don't expect me to be mad over any kind of mods you put out there

[random sleet]

i jest

tbf one would be oddityapi which like, has a justifiable reason for being separate

[hallow forge]

nevermind.

[random sleet]

same with another one but that ones a seeeeeecret ;)

[frosty dock]

xd

[random sleet]

and then like one to add mechanics and frameworky stuff to use between my mods bc im cringe

[frosty dock]

btw seal jank should be gone, but I haven't tested anything with putting them on jokers

[random sleet]

(literally because im bad at github)

oh sick i definitely keep getting distracto

[frosty dock]

hm... I did still wanna add some way to make stickers mutually exclusive

[random sleet]

stuff like non-chips permaboosts, xchips, couple other ideas

[frosty dock]

bites

[random sleet]

i mean ill make the mod and if someone smarter than me wants to merge shit from it into smods then go ahead lul

i just know how to make the funny joker poker do funny things idk what this github sorcery is

[royal ether]

you have to iterate thru G.your_collection to check if a card is in collection

G.your_collection is a list of collection card areas

[mellow crag]

yeah i ahve it

now i have one more issue...

the use button is at the bottom of my consumable

and i have no idea why

it might be a cardarea issue

but i dont think so

wtf

[random sleet]

did u try the thing i said tho

[mellow crag]

yes

it's a joker type cardarea now

[random sleet]

dang

idk then sorry man

[mellow crag]

oh

that fixed it

XD

[mellow crag]

also I noticed that if you use the "gain 2 <something> card" you always get 2 different cards

is it possible to change it so it could give you the same two cards?

like, it's probgably a pseudorandom_element thing

[frosty dock]

something something get_current_pool

[mellow crag]

is there perhaps something in the consumable type that i can change to fix that?

[random sleet]

you can probably look for where it says next(find_joker("j_showman")) or whatever right

[mellow crag]

the pool is chosen correctly

[random sleet]

yeah but showman relates to what you're talking about

i think?

[mellow crag]

i checked it

it works correctly

that is such a weird issueXD

[random sleet]

youll need to inject something in that function so it doesnt omit cards you already own i think

[mellow crag]

the get_current_pool doesnt do that

[random sleet]

uhhhhh it doesnt? if it checks showman it definitely does, cuz thats what showman Does

[mellow crag]

okay i was wrong

[maiden phoenix]

Can't you create a card and use copy_card or is it a shop behaviour?

[shell timber]

ok i might actually start porting morefluff to 1.0 now

[mellow crag]

yessssssssssssssssss

[mellow crag]

okay found a patch for it

like for starters im at work and secondly thac is a MESS rn

[spice scroll]

TOCK BY TICK

[mellow crag]

I still need to think of some crops for the other "card groups"

[random sleet]

peas for odd

three peas in a pod

[mellow crag]

oh peas is a good one

[zealous glen]

Sunflower for Fibonacci?

[crisp coral]

pvz2 in balatro...

or uh. pvzh

[shell timber]

cherries for twos is an obvious one

[mellow crag]

true

[shell timber]

what are the current ones?

roses / clovers for hearts and clubs feel right

[mellow crag]

Hearts - Beetroot
Clubs - Cauliflower
Diamonds - ?
Spades - ?
Face - Pumpkin
Numbered - Grape
Even - Cherry
Odd - Pea
Ace - ?
Stone - ?

[shell timber]

carrots could work for spades because they're kinda pointy

[mellow crag]

and potatoes for spades? (spuds)

[shell timber]

hm

[maiden phoenix]

Iirc Apple was suggested for Ace?

[wintry solar]

What about spades being a literal spade that counts down to breaking?

[mellow crag]

?

[mellow crag]

it was, i am thinking about it

[random sleet]

im a spade that counts down to breaking down

[shell timber]

hm, i feel roses / strawberries fit more for hearts

[mellow crag]

more than beetroot?

[shell timber]

hm

[random sleet]

flowers arent what hes going for i feel like

[shell timber]

fair enough

[mellow crag]

im more going for generic crops

though... if someone wants to add a crop that works with color cards...

adding a tulip can be fun

[frosty dock]

tbh I still need to add this to Steamodded, as a setting or something

maybe I'll figure out mod settings first

[shell timber]

will steamodded 1.0 have a pack api?

[wintry solar]

Like you’re using the spade rather than growing a plant

Although I might be misremembering the initial idea of crops

[mellow crag]

you grow the crops, and when they are fully grown, they give a passive chip buff to a card group

[wintry solar]

Yes then a spade wouldn’t work

[shell timber]

will the cards have multiple sprites as they grow?

[mellow crag]

they do!

[shell timber]

nice

[mellow crag]

actually, i have pumpkin fully implemented

let me take a picture of it real quick

[wintry solar]

Perhaps there could be a tool that enhances the bonuses for X rounds

[mellow crag]

i was thinking about adding a "gardening tools" consumable type

[shell timber]

sunflower for fibonnaci would be fun

[mellow crag]

with stuff like a watering can to make them grow faster

[wintry solar]

That would be neat

[shell timber]

coffee bean gives all cards a 1 in 4 chance to retrigger (or so)

[wintry solar]

I was imagining it as for example fertiliser giving double chip values for 3 turns or something like that

[mellow crag]

that can also be fun

[shell timber]

a chilli could upgrade all hands maybe

although that's kinda different to the other cards

[frosty dock]

I'm planning on adding one, I'm just not sure when

if lovely 0.5 gets a stable release soon, I could see it as a 1.1 feature

[wintry solar]

It’s cool for api’s to use lovely injection right?

[frosty dock]

I try to use lovely injection as much as possible, yeah

I don't bother if the function is more being replaced than modified

[wintry solar]

Good, that’s how I’ve been working for editions

[shell timber]

and this is in their own cardarea?

[mellow crag]

yes

you just need to enter the garden

[shell timber]

i feel having fewer card slots could encourage committing to specific crops instead of just taking all of them that you find

[random sleet]

federrrrrrr how do crops work again

[wintry solar]

What is this wizardry

[random sleet]

i forgor

[shell timber]

what's pumpkin's current effect?

[mellow crag]

they take a few rounds to grow. when they grow they passively buff a group of cards

[mellow crag]

when you play a face card, it scores another 10 chips

[random sleet]

they last indefinitely once growed up?

[mellow crag]

yes

[random sleet]

interesting

so its an opportunity cost thing

[crisp coral]

cookie clicker garden minigame

[random sleet]

have to hold it X rounds then its good

[random sleet]

not that far off lmaoooo

[wintry solar]

And they stack too?

[mellow crag]

yes

[random sleet]

will they always act as if showman exists

[mellow crag]

yes

[random sleet]

like you can naturally get multiples

            }
        end
        end
    end```

i'm actually starting to become a joker myself

i can't stop laughing because of my low intelligent brain

[gusty depot]

wahey, we have a prof.jkr parser

I probably need to dig into the source to work out what the following fields are:

• planetariumUsed, tarotReadingUsed - I imagine these are cracking the relevant packs? but then there's not an equivalent field for cracking joker packs...

[maiden phoenix]

SMODS.end_calculate_context(context) returns a boolean so you need a "if SMODS.end_calculate_context(context) then"

[worldly sapphire]

SMODS.Jokers.j_sharpener.calculate = function(self, context)
        if context.selling_card and (context.card.ability.set and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker') and (context.card ~= self) then
        card_eval_status_text(self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')})
        self.ability.mult = self.ability.mult + self.ability.extra
        end
        if SMODS.end_calculate_context(context) then
            return {
                message = localize{type='variable',key='a_mult',vars={self.ability.mult}},
                mult_mod = self.ability.mult,
            }
    end
end```

this is working

but when i play a card with 0 mult

it says 0 mult

lol

its activating the mult even if it is like 0

i can probably make it recognize the upgrade context?

[zealous glen]

You can add an and and a check for strictly positive mult

[frosty dock]

requisite from old demos I'd assume. there was only planetarium and tarot reading, which were similar to what's now celestial and arcana packs

[gusty depot]

aha, thank you!

[frosty dock]

it's well possible they're just obsolete, or used for some sort of stat tracking

[gusty depot]

I think you're correct in the old demo thing

[worldly sapphire]

an and after the (context) box?

[olive shoal]

does posting stuff i made to show off go here or #⚙・modding-general

[shell timber]

either really

[mellow crag]

@shell timber what do you think about having a tulip that decreases the round count it takes for color cards to recharge?

[gusty depot]

I figured here was for technical stuff and chat was for general stuff

[shell timber]

oh maybe

that seems interesting

[mellow crag]

but that's further in scope

[worldly sapphire]

is there an example of that?

[zealous glen]

Actually in hindsight you probably shouldn’t need one. I think the return array has one key too many

[austere schooner]

is there a template for a simple mod that adds a joker/consumable lying around or do i just have to start from scratch

[frosty dock]

what steamodded version?

[zealous glen]

I have one

It’s just missing the assets

[worldly sapphire]

this is how this code is working

SMODS.Jokers.j_sharpener.calculate = function(self, context)
        if context.selling_card and (context.card.ability.set and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker') and (context.card ~= self) then
        card_eval_status_text(self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')})
        self.ability.mult = self.ability.mult + self.ability.extra
        end
        if SMODS.end_calculate_context(context) then
            if context.scoring_hand then
            return {
                message = localize{type='variable',key='a_mult',vars={self.ability.mult}},
                mult_mod = self.ability.mult,
                card = self,
            }
        end
    end
end```

i just want a way to make this guy recognize he has a mult

bro be like +0 Mult

[crisp coral]

put the return into if self.ability.mult > 0

[worldly sapphire]

oh my god

it worked

[zealous glen]

That’s what I initially suggested but it shouldn’t be needed, since I don’t think any of the Jokers that trigger similarly do that

The output should evaluate the Mult is nonzero by itself

So I think the return has a key too many

[random sleet]

i think it only checks if it exists not if its nonsero

[zealous glen]

I can’t check it right now, but from this screenshot I’m guessing the vars key is superfluous

Since Stuntman returns chip_mod

[worldly sapphire]

tbh, i think i'm gonna nerf the sharpener

its gonna give +5 mult instead

[strong plume]

Isn't that still better than the dagger?

[odd dock]

depends but usually yes

[frosty dock]

yeah because you can dump more money into it faster

dagger is only one per round, whereas with this you can buy-sell like for campfire

[worldly sapphire]

and its permanent

[odd dock]

man dagger should be buffed ngl

[zealous glen]

I made a Joker that gains +10 Chips or +1 Mult be Joker you get

[odd dock]

the once per round really does hinder the dagger so much

[zealous glen]

Not exactly the same trigger but it seems close enough

[crisp coral]

@frosty dock viewing the deck during The Plant crashes the game

yes it is an smods issue

at least i'm 90% sure it is

[frosty dock]

weird one, I'll have a look

[worldly sapphire]

is there a way to put that Gold card message in one of my jokers?

[zealous glen]

Yes, check out the Steamodded wiki

[worldly sapphire]

now that he has this

i need to make him work

[maiden phoenix]

I should add those too cuz I never thought of doing so 🤔

[worldly sapphire]

the sharpener now have a nice color

[frosty dock]

how do you set these colors?

[worldly sapphire]

i just put the {C:purple} before the name

and poof

it works

[frosty dock]

oh pog, I didn't think that worked on names as well

[worldly sapphire]

well, now you know pog

the only thing that doesn't work is the X:mult one

[frosty dock]

I mostly wanted to know if it's something I should support on the Steamodded side of things

it's neat that it just works™️

[worldly sapphire]

yes

it just works™️

[thorn bough]

Has anyone figured out dynamic sprite loading in SMODS 1.0.0? trying to create an atlas for each sprite is proving to be quit a bit more complicated than i expected.

[maiden phoenix]

Just use a spritesheet

[thorn bough]

i am heavly against a spritesheet as it makes git integration harder, and requires needless hardcoding of pos values.

[frosty dock]

hardcoding of pos values doesn't seem any worse than hard coding atlas names

[thorn bough]

i'm not

my intention is to automatically set atlas names by image name and center name, so they just have to be named the same thing.

[frosty dock]

I recognize this as bad practice, which is why this is no longer officially supported from 1.0 onward. With automatic mod prefix integration, it would then be required to reference a mod prefix on each sprite registration

[thorn bough]

Why is it bad practice though?

[frosty dock]

it introduces a bunch of overhead

and hardcoding mod prefixes isn't something I want

[mellow sable]

break_infinity progress update

[frosty dock]

pog

[zealous glen]

huh I didn't know that worked

[worldly sapphire]

yeah it works fine

[zealous glen]

I did make a custom tooltip for Credits, but I don't necessarily think it should be supported by Steamodded

[crisp coral]

crosscode mentioned

[worldly sapphire]

yes

crosscode supremacy

[worldly sapphire]

btw i don't have any ideas for the ability right now

[frosty dock]

🤔

[worldly sapphire]

other languages support?

[frosty dock]

1.0 is meant to have localization in mind

so uh, I don't think I can have the mods UI be english only

[worldly sapphire]

one question about 1.0. its gonna have a way to disable mods without having to remove it from the folder?

[frosty dock]

I'm on it

[zealous glen]

It's a bit difficult to do, but if aure says they're on it 👀

[worldly sapphire]

yeah, i will update to 1.0 when it gets out of the alpha

[frosty dock]

it's gonna require reloading the game for pretty much anything that has side effects that aren't easily reversible

the bottleneck here is mostly preventing lovely from injecting disabled mods

[worldly sapphire]

i'm already familiar with reloading the game. (especially with crosscode)

[frosty dock]

this is very "graceful"

hmmmmm

[gaunt thistle]

yeah it probably shouldn't be this annoying

[worldly sapphire]

i like the options called ERROR, ERROR and ERROR

[gaunt thistle]

at the same time though it gets the point across

[frosty dock]

for context, I used an empty default so mods that add languages can include these dictionary items in their loc files

maybe that's not the best idea

[gaunt thistle]

also are you getting regex debug prints in the console?

[frosty dock]

unchanged

[worldly sapphire]

one question. its possible to make the X:mult appear in names?

like the background

red background with the white letters

[zealous glen]

I didn't even know you could change name colors lol

[gaunt thistle]

fixed

[zealous glen]

if it doesn't work outright you might need to hook or inject to make it work

[worldly sapphire]

i already tested btw

[gaunt thistle]

@frosty dock have you seen this btw? https://github.com/anton-kl/lua-hot-reload

[worldly sapphire]

it just doesn't show nothing. it just appears the regular name

and if it has spaces, the X:mult will remove it

[frosty dock]

i haven't, that does sound interesting

[worldly sapphire]

Idk where this is stored in the game's files

[frosty dock]

uh that looks about right...

[edgy reef]

wtf

Are those actual duplicates of the mods or did the stack trace mess up

[frosty dock]

i pretty much tried to reload a bunch of files and then call G:start_up() again

the game sort of launched itself, but still keeping a bunch of stuff from the original

not sure why it'd be in triplicate, but here I am

still getting the same error, but the mod dupes are gone

[zealous glen]

It's actually a function that processes it, but I think if you wanted to add this effect to Joker names you'd have to manually edit them object representing it

[frosty dock]

back to this nonsense huh

i guess calling start_up is unnecessary

[frosty dock]

there we go

[maiden veldt]

is there a way to change the colour variables in the shaders folder? for example, turning the foil edition red.

[hollow marsh]

I've kept trying to get this to work but have had no luck so far, is there anyone who might have some pointers?

[rough furnace]

oh yeah that reminds me of something I wanted to test

[wintry solar]

😭

[frosty dock]

:l

[wintry solar]

I have no idea why this has happened

without the tooltip the text is fine

but with it, it vanishes

[frosty dock]

0.9.8 jank

try with a loc_def function on the spectral that just returns {}

1.0 with lovely swiftly avoids such problems

[wintry solar]

is it worth just building the API in 1.0?

rather than building and then porting?

[wintry solar]

this has solved the problem though

[frosty dock]

for bugs like this one? yeah, it might well be

depends on if you wanna deal with the absence of documentation and potentially some more breaking changes

[wintry solar]

hmmm

I'm not sure what else to add right now outside of alternate effects which I think would be smoother with lovely

should I add taking ownership of base editions?

[frosty dock]

either you already register them to begin with and use your API as the only system (this is what I do for suits and ranks), or your API exists alongside other code for vanilla objects, then taking ownership requires more work

[wintry solar]

right yeah that makes sense

I think preregistering them will work better in this case

and just to check, when I do SMODS.Editions[self.slug] = self in register, it adds the meta table that's set up in new?

[maiden veldt]

just asking again. is it possible to change it through my mod and not editing the source files? i can figure out what changes the colours, i'd just like to know if/how i can

[near ivy]

the text is just overexposed /j

[mellow crag]

oh you learn mandarin

that's really cool

[tawny perch]

yea, its an option between that, korean and arabic

[mellow crag]

oh

i studied a bit of arabic

[tawny perch]

though both the batch above and below me got french and japanese which i kinda wanted

[tawny perch]

oh cool

[random sleet]

lets gooooo 🎉

[olive shoal]

accidentally made several copies of cards that i can just drag around and do nothing else with

[mellow crag]

vibe

[random sleet]

thats what happens when you dont :remove() things and just let em idle around forever

but also aesthetic✨

[mellow crag]

same thing happens with text (not the draggable part)

[edgy reef]

Next April fools mod should have this happen to any base game effect that creates cards.

xdd

[crisp coral]

graveyard eating good tonight

[random sleet]

next april fools mod should turn the game into spider solitaire

[olive shoal]

true

[remote coral]

Solitaire

[olive shoal]

yeah that was my first thought too lol

[ionic isle]

mod where your deck does the solitaire thing when you win a run (real)

[mellow crag]

i just had a wacky idea for a new hand

Solitaire Straight - a straight, but each card is of a different color than the two cards before and after it

so
H9, C8, D7, C6, H5 is a solitaire straight

[remote coral]

Does …Cn, Sn… work?

n is just whatever number

Or does it recognise as red and black suits

[mellow crag]

it does recognize suit colors

like how in solitaire you have to have different suit colors on each other

[remote coral]

So spectrum, but able to be done with 4 colours and with no strict requirement of having all the suits

[mellow crag]

i mean, not really?

it's just a straight with changing colors

[remote coral]

Different colours than the two before just so checkered deck gets shafted

[mellow crag]

nah checkered deck is best with solitaire straight

caues you can do it with just 2 suits

one black and one red

[remote coral]

Oh wait I misread

I thought it’s looked at {H9, C8} [D7] {C6, H5}

[mellow crag]

this is a solitaire straight

or straight solitaire

i am not sure

[ionic isle]

the existence of solitare straight implies stuff like solitare house and solitare five

[mellow crag]

the reason solitaire straight is the only one is since this is a valid solitaire play technically

you cant have 5 cards of the same rank one after another when playing solitaire

[ionic isle]

then why specify it as a straight?

[mellow crag]

i should just call it solitaire?

i am not sure whether i will give it a new poker hand, or a new joker for my (planned, not sure if i will make it) "card games joker collection" mod

https://gyazo.com/f0eeacc1f21190276784c55fcbbf782b.mp4
you can now place crops using the debug menu (also new crop alert!)

[random sleet]

if you dont make solitaire straight i will 👀

are all crops going to be +10 chips?

[mellow crag]

i am not sure about that yet, but since the grape is a counterpart to the pumpkin, they give the same chip count

[mellow crag]

do it

[random sleet]

shit i still need to peek how aure does spectrums in 1.0 actually

[random sleet]

ohh no i dont need to plus i have my hands full updating

[mellow crag]

XD

[random sleet]

i actually feel so stupid not knowing how to make cards score in 1.0 hand api

like genuinely i cant crack it

i can make the hand be playable but cards wont scote

[random sleet]

the main issue is that modded suits have no concept of color

and given that thac actually will be adding suits soon...

[mellow crag]

wait it will?

[random sleet]

yeah lol

[mellow crag]

which?

[random sleet]

i showed Minor Arcana a while ago rember

[mellow crag]

oh that was for thac?

[random sleet]

thac is my content mod

[shell timber]

fusion jam when btw

[random sleet]

if its not a whole project based on something else it goes in thac

like Emojiokers and Balatro of Isaac are separate

[mellow crag]

shhh....

[random sleet]

me when i have to add jokers to thac:

(for the suits!!!)

yeah thac on my end has like 8 modules now its nuts

moreconsumables, basicoddities, jokerstamps, suits, blinds, tags, enhancements (still pending updates from enhanceapi orz), pokerhands

oh and decks

[sly forge]

hey, I see lots of modders are active. How are people doing with Steamodded 1.0? What's good, what's bad, anything particularly painful or confusing?

[olive shoal]

steamodded 1.0 is so much more convenient to use imo

setting stuff up is a breeze now that i can just put it all in a table initilizating it

• its generally a lot cleaner to use too

[sly forge]

sounds great!

[mellow crag]

it also includes some very popular apis and implementations that you had to do by hand beforehand

which helps a ton

[sly forge]

ok, I'm actually asking for API Design best practices! yeah I specialize in that, maybe

really hope Steamodded 1.0 releases soon. I'm so impatient, I'm contributing to it myself

[random sleet]

it is pretty cool other than all the parts that didnt work that i had to wait for fixes and now have to wait to try out i hate capitalism

(work work work x.x)

tablecalls are based tho

i actually was the one to suggest it, as memory serve

i do find the new poker hand api confusing

to the point where im just kinda in waiting mode til i can get a working example

[mellow crag]

speaking of documentation... there is none for the new seal API

[random sleet]

there is none for like anything lul

[narrow pollen]

yeah, that should just be like the straight equivalent of "royal flush"

[night meteor]

Anybody here know if there's any documentation about making my own jokers, or reskining jokers that are already in game?

[royal ridge]

#1228599493914656788 message this is joker api documentation for steamodded, might become outdated soon with 1.0.0 but still worth to mess around with anyway

reskinning jokers? you'd probably have to overwrite resources/textures/Jokers.png via a mod. i'm not exactly sure how you'd do that though

[night meteor]

ah, did some digging and found something from- yeah! Sorry I had to ask that. just didn't know if someone had made a guide saying how to do it.

[royal ridge]

yeah dw about it 👍

[narrow pollen]

okay, just gonna give you a quick tutorial on how to edit existing Jokers for steamodded 1.0, because it's something i already know:
1.) Initialize a variable for the existing Joker to this: -> SMODS.Joker:take_ownership("j_[key]",{set = "Joker",name = [name], key= "j_[key]", loc_txt = [loc_text]})

• j_[key] is the joker's key that always starts with j_ in the vanilla game ("j_sly", "j_jolly", etc)
• name is a string detailing the joker's display name.
• loc_txt is a table of strings, detailing the joker's description.
  2.) Use this line to simulataneously initialize and register a sprite: -> SMODS.Sprite{key = "j_[key]", path = "j_[key].png", px = 71, py = 95, atlas = "ASSET_ATLAS"}:register()
  3.) Use the following format, replacing j with the name you used for the variable you initialized in Step 1.
  j.lc_atlas = j.key
j.hc_atlas = j.key
j:register()

[random sleet]

you dont have to put in like name and key in the table part

<@&1133519078540185692>

[royal ridge]

🤯

[narrow pollen]

🪝🐟

[random sleet]

you only have to put in what you change

itll default to what the joker has normally

[grand violet]

🔫

[narrow pollen]

i mean, fair?

[livid scroll]

To quick for me

[quaint saddle]

And me!

[grand violet]

I declare it now

all spammers have Perishable

[royal ridge]

don't you have to get rid of :register() in newer versions of 1.0.0?

[grand violet]

they will last at most 5 minutes before being permanently debuffed

[narrow pollen]

i typically change the loc_text for every joker i edit, soooooooooooo

[random sleet]

this is more relevant when you get multiple mods taking ownership of the same joker

[short surge]

we might be eternal?

[narrow pollen]

wait, do you?

[random sleet]

for example in emojiokers i take ownership of a lot of jokers to add yes_pool_flags to them

[grand violet]

Only local and the playstack crew have Eternal

[short surge]

fair

[narrow pollen]

that doesn't feel right, given that sometimes you're going to want to do things with your jokers before you register them

you know, initialize their variables based on a table

[random sleet]

just put it in the table then?

but yeah :register() is called as part of the constructor now

if you really need to modify them after that for whatever reason you can still use SMODS.Jokers

but i cant think of a single thing that you'd want to do in between having a joker object and registering it anyway

bear in mind that you can literally put any values you want into the table that you pass to the constructor

(or to take_ownership, functionally the same)

[night meteor]

...alright so.

1. where do I find a list for the "J_[key]" for vanilla jokers? Just so I don't have to go out and find them.

2. uh, what part of step one sets the variable? for when I get to step three, I would assume the [name]?

[random sleet]

you can use 7zip to open Balatro.exe

[night meteor]

i... can? huh

[random sleet]

game.lua has a function Game:init_game_objects with a mammoth of a list of everything in the game with most of its information

[zealous glen]

Maybe en_us.lua is easier since you can search by Joker name or text too

[random sleet]

it is moderately annoying to use but it is functional enough

[zealous glen]

And it's formatted as slug = {name, text}

[narrow pollen]

and for the second part: local whatever = is the name definition.

[random sleet]

you can search by name in game.lua

cards have "name" fields

[narrow pollen]

yeah, either or works

but sometimes the names are different in the internals

mostly ones with extended characters, like Séance

[royal ridge]

tried a bunch of stuff but this doesn't seem to be working...? is there any way to see what the edition is requesting for its label

[narrow pollen]

oh, apparently

you're not allowed to edit that outside of a process_loc_text function

[zealous glen]

That's 1.0, no?

[royal ridge]

o

[random sleet]

yeah in 1.0 you need process_loc_text

[zealous glen]

You should be able to edit the localization dictionary directly in 0.9.8

[random sleet]

otherwise smods doesnt mess with localization stuff so you can just do that

[zealous glen]

I say should because I have issues with it sometimes

In 0.9.8, this is the whole code of Fish mod

--- STEAMODDED HEADER
--- MOD_NAME: Fish
--- MOD_ID: Fish
--- MOD_AUTHOR: [Victin]
--- MOD_DESCRIPTION: Changes Flush Fives into Fish (Five of a Flush)

    sendDebugMessage("Loaded Fish")
end

----------------------------------------------

[night meteor]

alright, I got the card I want to do, now time to parse what all of this means heh

[golden lake]

mod name: fish
mod id: fish
mod author: fish

[zealous glen]

I'm not fish but pretty much

[night meteor]

Now, is this close to correct? Or did I miss something?

[random sleet]

i do that with most of my mods tbh except that author is "AutumnMood (it/she/they)"

writing a description is for nerds

[night meteor]

oh, ignore that last bit after the code end, I was just copy and pasting the card I was wnating to do

[royal ridge]

tysm probably saved me another couple hours of headache

[narrow pollen]

kinda close

[royal ridge]

sorry to keep using this channel as a stupidity dump

[random sleet]

that is what it is normally

[night meteor]

If you want to DM me to keep it cleaner, I don't mind

[golden lake]

become fish

[zealous glen]

Best I can do is become Aradia

[golden lake]

i cast the fish morph spell on you

fish

[narrow pollen]

1.) 1.0 doesn't have any init coding. so replace function with local FatLuckyCat =

[night meteor]

Done

[narrow pollen]

2.) remove the loc_txt = [loc_text] bit entirely, that's only if you're going to change the description

[zealous glen]

I can just evolve into a mammal again

[narrow pollen]

other than that, i think that will run fine

[random sleet]

thats not even being a fish tho right... shes not even a sea dweller...?

[random sleet]

did you even establish if he's using 1.0

[night meteor]

So this should work here? and yes, I have an assets file set up, with both 1x and 2x in there, [though 1x doesn't have an image yet]

Does it matter if the image is one card or not?

didn't seem to work

[narrow pollen]

oh, the name part can also be removed

and set has to be "Joker"

if that doesn't work, then i have a backup plan

[night meteor]

Testing this code now

Still nothing

But yeah, all I'm wanting to do with this is just replace the Lucky cat with a different png, as I'm sure your seeing me try.

[golden lake]

maybe try this?

all this is showing is that i'm going to need to rewrite my own joker initialization code

[night meteor]

also, does the image have to be a set size?

[narrow pollen]

yes

default joker size is 71 x 95

[night meteor]

.......oh uh

[frosty dock]

btw you should just use atlas if you don't have hc/lc versions

[narrow pollen]

yeah, that's fair

[night meteor]

give me a sec, shrinking the image then. lol

[zealous glen]

Exactly

[narrow pollen]

i didn't know whether lc/hc was necessary

[narrow pollen]

1x should be 71 x 95

2x should be double that

142 x 190

[night meteor]

THat may have been in issue, yeah one sec let me fix this then do that code up top

[frosty dock]

it's only needed for playing cards

that's fair!

then that should work, @night meteor

[night meteor]

oh thanks! sorry, was solving a new issue that gimp was Inverting the colors of the card for some reason ...but I've soved it now

Resized, added the code in, lets see if this works

STill nothing.

and I have the correct sizes under each of the assets 1x and 2x folders now.

Also the mod is not showing up in the mods list, if it would show up there

and also as you can see up top, i am on .9.8

[narrow pollen]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

then i am the exact wrong person to listen to haha

[night meteor]

oh, did I... faceplant

[narrow pollen]

save that code, though

[night meteor]

HAH. thanks, yeah I have it saved

[narrow pollen]

you could literally download the alpha from the github rn if you wanted

and use that

[night meteor]

...the alpha?

[narrow pollen]

that's what people mean by 1.0

it is currently in alpha

[frosty dock]

btw author needs to be in brackets like --- MOD_AUTHOR: [Author], your code would get ignored over it lmao

[night meteor]

ah

[frosty dock]

that's the only reason it doesn't error

[night meteor]

where's the alpha on the github for steamodded?

also I guess this is what happens when you run aplha code on .9.8?

[all I changed was putting my name in brackets

[er, Author name]

[night meteor]

alright, got the zip and... ah, I see it's just the git up set of stuff.

reading up on the Lovely injector

Still this error, failing to get the field sprite it seems

[random sleet]

probably!! theyll be balatrostuck support~

[night meteor]

...ok so I don't know how to install the Ahpla.

the .9.8 inject method works, but
https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#manual-installation
Following this gives me nothing [just the normal 1.0 vanilla game

[and yes, I did verifiy before launching wiht the version.dll in there]

[random sleet]

do you have:

• the version.dll file in the folder with Balatro.exe
• steamodded's files all in their own folder in your Mods directory

[night meteor]

Yes and yes

left, the Balatro exe folder. right the Balatro/mods folder in appdata

[random sleet]

i do not see Steamodded

[night meteor]

aaaah, one se

Now there it is, with the un ziped contents of the github
