[random sleet]

truly we are ballintro

[night meteor]

...oh. uh.
now I can't quit, lol

[random sleet]

you're now ready to use my mods! whenever i release them

[night meteor]

at least with the quit button

[random sleet]

oh yeah theres a quit button

[night meteor]

The one here dead center doesn't work. it just injects the Steamodded again or something

[crisp coral]

device?

[night meteor]

PC

[crisp coral]

then iunno, the quit button worked when i did the peak mod

[random sleet]

i blame whatever balalib is

[maiden phoenix]

You have to play Balatro forever now, sorry I dont make the rules

[night meteor]

Ok, so, now I'm using this on the "correct" version and it's throwing the same error as before [with my author name corected]

[frosty dock]

uh

[narrow pollen]

OH

they have been renamed

to atlas

[frosty dock]

I did another breaking change

now's the time for them, so please expect them

[night meteor]

cleaned up the mods folder, still gives the quit inject loop

[narrow pollen]

@night meteor so just change the word "Sprite" to "Atlas" in that line and you'll be fine

[night meteor]

[oh and sorry I did the wrong thing Myst]

[frosty dock]

Also remove atlas = 'ASSET_ALTAS', it's renamed to atlas_table and asset atlas is the default now

[random sleet]

oh banger

aure when you get a chance can you hmu with that spectrum example

if possible

[frosty dock]

will be removed, think of it as a feature for now

[random sleet]

🙏

[frosty dock]

oh sorry I forgot, will do once I'm home

[night meteor]

The "YOUR STUCK HERE FOREVER" Update

lol

[random sleet]

you should be able to X out of the command prompt window right

[frosty dock]

delete lovely/reload.toml to disable

[night meteor]

I'm a full screener

[random sleet]

alt-tab

[frosty dock]

I saw peak mod and thought I'd have to do some trolling myself

[random sleet]

canon

[frosty dock]

literal alternate tabulator

[crisp coral]

what the fuck

[night meteor]

I do not have a Lovely/reload.toml in the there

oh wait

[frosty dock]

Steamodded/lovely

[night meteor]

in the Steamod, yeah

[frosty dock]

the Steamod 💀

that's a new one

[night meteor]

gah, new error.
the images had to be renamed to j_FatLuckyCat, but after that error came this one

[night meteor]

And this worked, btw for that issue

[night meteor]

wait, when you said to remove it, did you mean to replace it with atlas = 'atlas_table' ?

[frosty dock]

wtf

[frosty dock]

no

[night meteor]

FOUR

[frosty dock]

my keyboard did a funny

I meant just remove it

there's overlap with atlas on other objects

[night meteor]

Ah, same crash, both removed and... ah

[frosty dock]

so you could do atlas_table = 'ASSET_ATLAS', but it would achieve nothing because that's the default value

[night meteor]

it's in line 9, the .Atlas line is where the error is it seems.

[frosty dock]

nope, it's line 9 of an engine file

can you send the mod code my way?

[night meteor]

??? oh sure

Most of this is Numbuh214's work

and the image assests are named j_FatLuckyCat.png as I got that error before this one.

[frosty dock]

you shouldn't be changing the key of a vanilla object, so remove that

and remove the register call on the atlas

actually it's probably my fault

[night meteor]

so, remove the key= from the take ownership line?

[frosty dock]

yeah

[night meteor]

then change the key = bit in the atlas line to lucky_cat?

[er, j_lucky_cat]

[frosty dock]

that one can be whatever

[night meteor]

Same crash with removing that.

[frosty dock]

if this is what I think it is, atlas = 'flcr_j_FatLuckyCat' will work, but that's not what's supposed to happen

let me fix that

[narrow pollen]

is it that now?

used to be "j_flcr_FatLuckyCat"

right?

[frosty dock]

atlases don't get prepended with 'j_'

[night meteor]

well it didn't crash this time with this

[frosty dock]

you're the one adding that

[frosty dock]

well you're not changing the pos

[narrow pollen]

oh yeah

[frosty dock]

and for lucky cat, it's wherever in a huge joker atlas

[narrow pollen]

pos = {x = 0, y = 0}

add that as a value in the joker line

[night meteor]

added, booting

Boys.

Thank you for all of the help.

We did it!
[spoiled due to something that is SFW but is a fetish to some]

[Furry and Fat stuff, as if the name didn't imply it]

[frosty dock]

anyway you're not supposed to need the prefix, I'm in the middle of fixing that

[night meteor]

prefix?

oh ok, I'm going to step away for a bit now, your welcome to DM me or whatever or Ping me while I'm out

[frosty dock]

the flcr_ bit

[night meteor]

ah, gotcha

The working code if you want to see it

[regal shoal]

I'm probably the one doing something wrong but just wanted to share this funny issue

[maiden phoenix]

Oh SMODS.Sprite got changed?

Also isn't :register() not required?

[olive shoal]

yeah :register() isnt required anymore

[frosty dock]

register is done internally now

[maiden phoenix]

Yea I'm just seeing it in the code above

[frosty dock]

it should be foolproofed now to where calling it anyways does nothing

[olive shoal]

condemned to forever play balatro

[frosty dock]

it's a feature

(jk it's just a test requisite)

delete Steamodded/lovely/reload.toml to remove

[regal shoal]

Ok ok, If I change something and reload, does it take in count the changes ?

[frosty dock]

it reloads all mods, so it doesn't account for steamodded itself or other lovely stuff, but any changes in mods will take effect

[regal shoal]

Oh that"s nice !

[remote coral]

There’s a difference between “capitalist fat cat” and deviant art

[frosty dock]

i wanna use this to disable mods on the fly, though as you can see it won't really work with anything that uses lovely, so these cases will still need a full restart

alright I think the take ownership atlas issue is resolved, it's just a bit more tricky than I thought with taking ownership multiple times

[regal shoal]

GG 🙌

[frosty dock]

i have to check if an atlas existed previously and if it changed

if it exists now and either didn't previously or was changed, I add the prefix

[frosty dock]

fix is upstream, should work without flcr_ now

[worldly sapphire]

hey guys i'm still trying to figure out how to make this calculate function transform the first played card into a wild card

SMODS.Jokers.j_astraleraser.calculate = function(self, context)
    if self.ability.name == 'The Eraser' and not context.repetition then
        if context.scoring_hand then
            if context.other_card then
            for k,v in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                sendDebugMessage(k..": "..tostring(v))
            end
        if context.scoring_hand and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1] and context.cardarea == G.played then
            local cardarea = {}
            for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand, context.other_card) do
            v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_wild, nil, true)
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    v:juice_up()
                    return true
                end
            }))
            return {
                message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                colour = G.C.BLUE,
                card = self,
            }
        end
        end
        end
        end
    end
    end```

[night meteor]

oh as in a future update to steamodded I take? cool

[mellow crag]

Soon... (helping autumn with something)

[remote coral]

Will it be the stamps on Jimbo or on the respective Jokers?

[mellow crag]

that's fun idea actually, but they will be on Jimbo for now

[remote coral]

Steven stamp on Steven

[odd dock]

steven stamp on todd

[random sleet]

i like how ur teasing this like its a new mod but ppl already know what joker stamps are lol

game companies when they have to market a remake:

[frosty dock]

as in the current state of the main branch

the bleeding edge is ever changing

[random sleet]

oh is that where all the blood came from last night

[frosty dock]

uhhh

I'm innocent-?

[zealous glen]

Can a Joker have multiple stamps?

oops ping sorry

[random sleet]

no

its like seals for jokers

[worldly sapphire]

could someone help me with this?

[mellow crag]

oh this is sick

[odd dock]

eremel can you make an omori headspace shader please?

[wintry solar]

a what?

[odd dock]

https://tenor.com/view/kel-omori-buffer-omocat-omorigame-gif-22940562

[wintry solar]

can set custom weights for consumable chances too, so this is a 50:50 chance

[odd dock]

like that guy

saturated blue instead of darker colors and purple-ish in place of lighter colors pretty much

[wintry solar]

oh yeah that should be straight forward

[odd dock]

with noise or something similar

[zealous glen]

I meant like, could it be theoretically possible?

[golden lake]

why is sepia 10 chips

why not X1.5 XChips :(

[zealous glen]

XXChips

[golden lake]

there should be a Chipmult mod that adds a third value called Chipmult that's suspended in a state of quantum uncertainty until scoring is done at which point it does a 1 in 2 roll to determine if the added value will be chips or mult

[zealous glen]

There should be a chimpmunk mod that adds a chimpmunk

[golden lake]

those can be the same mod

[zealous glen]

all the chimpmunk does is store bananas in its cheeks for the winter

[golden lake]

chipmult should be purple

[zealous glen]

Maybe Plasma color?

[golden lake]

yes

chipmult jokers

XChipmult

+Chipmult

[zealous glen]

It's a bit tricky because the plasma color is defined by a function and not as a color itself IIRC

[golden lake]

can be just coded in

leaving the fate of your run up to an unmodifiable coin toss

[odd dock]

but why

[shell timber]

oops all 6s makes it add to neither

[zealous glen]

Actually this might be it {0.8, 0.45, 0.85, 1}

[golden lake]

will the 150 Chipmult you just made be added to Chips or Mult? only time will tell

[zealous glen]

No the probability isn't listed

so it doesn't affect it

[golden lake]

as such the chipmult jokers can be allowed to be a bit silly

a bit stronger than mult jokers

you're gambling hard

either making big mult or average chips

@mellow crag @random sleet we should collab on chipmult mod

me when i lose the run to the needle (the +50 Chipmult was allocated to the Chips, not the Mult)

[shell timber]

i'd be down to make chipmult jokers

[zealous glen]

what about chimpmunk jokers

[shell timber]

monus card

[odd dock]

cult card

[random sleet]

sorry im not smart enough to be a collab dev

[remote coral]

Gradient Red & Blue

[zealous glen]

praise the chimpmunk

[worldly sapphire]

a joker that is anti poker hands (if you play a full house the joker just dies)

[remote coral]

Do the Jokers have actual benefits?

[remote coral]

Tbf this could be interesting with the distinction of “contains XYZ hand” and “is XYZ hand”

[worldly sapphire]

yeah, if you play any other hand that was not chosen by him you get 100 chips and 40 mult

its one joker, i said jokers mb

[mellow crag]

yesssssss

[remote coral]

Like if it contains a pair, you get buffed

If it IS a pair, adios joker

[shell timber]

that but 5oak

[mellow crag]

it wouldn't be hard to make a xchip mod

i can whip something up right now

[remote coral]

Imagine something that’s like “if hand contains high card…”

[worldly sapphire]

if hand contains flush the joker dies

if hand contains high card the joker dies

[remote coral]

Blushing Joker

Dies of embarrassment

[worldly sapphire]

also, i'm still trying to figure out why my joker doesn't work

:(

its not working

ahhhhhhh

[mellow crag]

i am making cursed stuff

[zealous glen]

head of the forbidden one

[zealous glen]

what error do you get

[worldly sapphire]

it just doesn't work

[frosty dock]

OJKER

no

please no

[mellow crag]

ojker

[frosty dock]

it's joever

[odd dock]

but why xchips

[mellow crag]

cause it's funny

[worldly sapphire]

just updated this

[frosty dock]

making plasma deck more broken

[odd dock]

not funny, didn't laugh >:(

tbh best reason to make anything ever

[golden lake]

after chipmult is complete we must make the opposite of chipmult

mipchult

[wintry solar]

how are mod badges assigned? I can't get them showing up on editions atm

[frosty dock]

card_h_popup

[odd dock]

that word sounds inappropriate somehow

[golden lake]

dont be such a mipchult about it

[frosty dock]

mult stake

mult and chips get swapped when each card is scored

yes, each card

even jokers

[shell timber]

monus card

just arrows

[odd dock]

what if just other design and make the lines thicker

[golden lake]

perfect

chipmult mod

real

[mellow crag]

yesssss

[shell timber]

thicker lines look way better

+20 chipmult

[tawny perch]

spicy chips

[worldly sapphire]

i can't.... i'm losing my mind with this joker

i think i made an idea that i can't execute

[remote coral]

Why the black circle though

I feel like it’s just gonna get covered most of the time

[worldly sapphire]

also i can't understand how this is not working

[random sleet]

oh man

ecks chips

[remote coral]

That’s not Jimbo, that’s…

Ojimb

[golden lake]

a submod for ortalab that turns every jokers name to literal reverse of it

Like Ksud for Dusk

Hsidnevac

Oekrep

Surprisingly Hsidnevac sounds like an actual word

[royal ridge]

try context.scoring_hand[1]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_wild, nil, true), rather than using the "for k, v" loop and the subsequent set_ability (it doesn't seem necessary and might be breaking it, as you only need to change the first card)

you could also try

if context.cardarea == G.jokers then if context.before and not context.blueprint then
instead of
if self.ability.name == 'The Eraser' and not context.repetition then
after that, you could then get rid of the if statement before the set_ability as the context spam is confusing and it may not meet all those contexts at the same time... ever (and also get rid of local cardarea = {} perhaps? it doesn't seem to be doing anything)

[worldly sapphire]

like this?

SMODS.Jokers.j_astraleraser.calculate = function(self, context)
        if context.before and not context.blueprint then
        if context.scoring_hand then
            if context.other_card then
            for k,v in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                sendDebugMessage(k..": "..tostring(v))
            end
        if context.scoring_hand and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1] and context.cardarea == G.played then
            context.scoring_hand[1]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_wild, nil, true)
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    juice_up()
                    return true
                end
            }))
            return {
                message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                colour = G.C.BLUE,
                card = self,
            }
        end
        end
        end
    end
    end```

[royal ridge]

should add if context.cardarea == G.jokers then at the start

context.scoring_hand[1]:juice_up() instead of juice_up() if you want the card itself to be juiced

and you should remove if context.scoring_hand and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1] and context.cardarea == G.played then i think?

there's no real reason to have that long if statement, you're not iterating through anything

oh

[worldly sapphire]

i fixed

[royal ridge]

you should move two ends to close this if context.scoring_hand here, before the main batch of code

[worldly sapphire]

just needed to remove the if context.other_card then

[wooden nexus]

Hey so quick question: What mods are on 1.0.0 atm

[worldly sapphire]

its working now

[royal ridge]

well if it works it works

gg

[worldly sapphire]

tysm

[royal ridge]

👍

[worldly sapphire]

i'm still learning with this

i could start using this in future jokers

like a joker who transforms played cards into glass and etc

[royal ridge]

not many run on the newest commit

[wooden nexus]

I just need like one or two to look at how it works is all

[royal ridge]

i love reusing code 😌

[worldly sapphire]

same

btw

here is the new sprite for the joker

The Eraser: The first played card gets turned into a Wild Card

[worldly sapphire]

is there a way i can make a joker work like the spare trousers?

it gets upgraded by one hand type

but it can work with any hand played

[maiden phoenix]

Updating the Steamodded 1.0.0 repo gives me this error now, did a new lovely update came too or I'm missing something?

[zealous glen]

I suspect it needs a lovely update

[maiden phoenix]

Yea I updated lovely and it fixed it

[frosty dock]

yep, I updated it to lovely beta3, which would scream at everyone if I didn't remove the deprecated overwrite fields (this breaks beta2 and below)

[maiden phoenix]

That's why the crash mentions it

[native osprey]

any idea why this joker from the BBBalatro mod says +ERROR? running latest steamodded

[maiden phoenix]

Probably messed up the loc_def of this joker

[remote coral]

I assume you separate the Chips/Mult from what scales the Chips/Mult in some way

[native osprey]

heres the code for deaf joker, anything broken? I cant tell

[maiden phoenix]

Weird I don't see any loc_def, lemme look at the mod's file myself

[maiden phoenix]

It doesn't have a loc_def, just add this

        loc_def = function(self) --defines variables to use in the UI. you can use #1# for example to show the mult variable, and #2# for x_mult
            return { self.ability.extra.mult}
        end

[native osprey]

thanks, works fine now

should x1 art for a custom joker be redrawn for x2 folder? or just use some kind of tool

[hoary sand]

what are you using to make the art?

[native osprey]

paint.net

[hoary sand]

if you're on windows you should be able to rescale the images

[native osprey]

okay ill rely that to the artist, because im not the one drawing it

[hoary sand]

you can right-click and open the image and the photos app lets you resize it

[worldly sapphire]

tbh, if you have asesprite you can export the image in 200% size

and it will contain the pixels and it will work in the game fine

[gaunt thistle]

I'm reverting this change

[frosty dock]

that's fine as long as it isn't required again

[gaunt thistle]

it's not, but we'll just make it a "it doesn't need to be there but we wont complain if it is"

I can't make that field functional because it can and will break backwards compatibility, so any future overwise-like features will be under a different field

[frosty dock]

sounds good, but will it do something?

oh alright

[gaunt thistle]

yeah, I'm fairly confident that there are developers that have that field set to true and dont want stuff to be overwritten

so any functionality like that will be added to a new field

this wouldn've been nicer if previous versions made that field optional, which I thought it was, but that wasn't the case

sooo we're stuck here due to my fuckup

[frosty dock]

I mean that's whatever

[wooden nexus]

Okay what's wrong here

[wooden nexus]

But yeah, what did I mess up on. I'm doing Steamodded 1.0.0

[gaunt thistle]

deploying a new version

[maiden phoenix]

Remove atlast from SMODS.Atlas

Also make sure you have the most recent Steamodded and lovely version

[crisp coral]

it's SMODS.Sprite not Atlas

[frosty dock]

no it's Atlas, as of today

oh sorry i pinged

[crisp coral]

what the Fuck

aure please start writing a changelog somewhere

i beg

[frosty dock]

that one was discussed in #1209564621644505158

I'm not doing a full compare 0.9.8-1.0.0, but I'll be writing docs

[mellow crag]

@golden lake https://gyazo.com/88b4be8de8835e8ab37f2eee3303a0c1.mp4

[wild gyro]

cursed

kill it with fire

[mellow crag]

you dont like the ojker?

[maiden phoenix]

I love it

[wild gyro]

no i do lmao

i just said that because it breaks vanilla rules

[mellow crag]

should i make a "Feder's Cursed Balatro" mod?

[wild gyro]

sorry if it sounded rude

[wild gyro]

YES

[mellow crag]

XD all good

[mellow crag]

i can add Ore of a Kind and the minus/half rank cards

[hoary sand]

i might actually need ore of a kind for a mod

[zealous glen]

Feder collecting mods like I finite Stones

[maiden phoenix]

Btw Itay did you port Fusion Jokers to 1.0.0 yet?

[mellow crag]

yes

[frosty dock]

hm

[mellow crag]

but it's not out yet

[frosty dock]

card, info_queue or info_queue, card

I'm thinking the latter to avoid tags having a dead middle param

[maiden phoenix]

Neat, let me know when its out 🙂

[frosty dock]

chat should we rename loc_def to embrace the breakage?

[maiden phoenix]

Rename SMODS.Joker to SMODS.Cardarea_Joker_Card_Back 😎

[frosty dock]

you jest

i mean I feel like loc_def really isn't descriptive

[golden lake]

yess

you should call it Baylaytro

[edgy reef]

woa what da

[golden lake]

Bay-lay-tro is the only correct pronunciation of Balatro

[frosty dock]

no, it's Bah-lah-tro

fight me

[hoary sand]

/bəlɑtro/

[wooden nexus]

Recreating all the jokers for 1.0.0

at least without effects

[maiden phoenix]

Awesome

Btw Aure is the way Back sprites are handled changed in Steamodded 1.0? I remember the texture having to be put in an Enhancers.png iirc

[royal ridge]

any way to change the pos.x of a joker sprite locally rather than globally? so it doesn't apply to copies and such

[odd dock]

that was changed super long ago to work like everything else's textures, so it prob works the same as that

[maiden phoenix]

Oh

[frosty dock]

it used to draw from config.atlas and was special in that regard, now that isn't the case

[maiden phoenix]

Does it uses a specific key in SMODS.Atlas? (like modicon)

[frosty dock]

it's not special at all, it uses the atlas that you give it, or else the default

[maiden phoenix]

Alright

[worldly sapphire]

is there a way to change the midas mask k_gold message to like k_wild?

[mellow crag]

Feder work update:
Since I’m very happy with the current states of Codex Arcanum and Fusion Jokers for 1.0 (which will release as soon as 1.0 comes out), I will putting them on a back burner for a bit, while focusing on some newer projects. They are not abandoned.

The new projects are:
A remake of the progress I did on Fool’s Fables,
Jimbo’s Garden,
Helping other people with migrating to 1.0 or adding new features (like autumn’s stamps),
Making random cursed additions (xchips, half ranks, ore of a kind)

[zealous glen]

help me feder the alchemist /hj

[mellow crag]

What do you need?

[frosty dock]

take ownership of it and use loc_def (loc_vars as of the cleanup I did today)

or just change that line with Lovely, idc

[zealous glen]

tbh I'm mostly waiting until Steamodded is more stable and I can reference other mods to port my mod to it

[mellow crag]

Makes sense

[zealous glen]

What changes did you have to make, in general?

[mellow crag]

I wanted to upgrade asap to help me get rid of work later

[mellow crag]

Wdym?

[zealous glen]

I mean, what was the main work of converting from 0.9.8 to 1.0

[mellow crag]

I mainly refactored my main mod file, changed how I register stuff, but most of the raw logic still stands

[worldly sapphire]

how do i do that?

[frosty dock]

latest commits might require some more changes if you use loc_def some places (also works with tags now)

[maiden phoenix]

Every loc_def needs to be changed to loc_vars?

[frosty dock]

a pattern patch should do, but do the other thing I said if you want to do it with steamodded

[frosty dock]

that and the expected structure of the return value is also changed

[worldly sapphire]

k

[zealous glen]

I have a loop for adding Jokers, so I imagine most of the behind-the-scenes is intact or I'd need to make the same change in each file so the format is consistent

[maiden phoenix]

What do you mean by the structure is changed?

[zealous glen]

I imagine the update doesn't break any hooks but maybe I could update them to make use of new functionality

[frosty dock]

it's no longer a list of values, but a table

[zealous glen]

And I have one consumable that depends on OddityAPI but I think there's a consumeable API I could use

Can I make a typeless consumeable?

[frosty dock]

return { vars = { 'vars' }, key = optional, main_start = optional, main_end = optional

[zealous glen]

@frosty dock I think they want a new Joker with that effect instead of changing Midas Mask, no?

[frosty dock]

no, that's not something the game would like that much

[zealous glen]

can I make a consumeable with a type that doesn't show up anywhere else

[frosty dock]

they did say change so

[worldly sapphire]

how exactly i take ownership of 'k_gold'?

[maiden phoenix]

What's the extra stuff for?

[zealous glen]

I think it was poor wording

[worldly sapphire]

idk a way to do this

[zealous glen]

do you want a new Joker that works like Midas Mask, or do you want to change Midas Mask

[worldly sapphire]

i want to make my joker display Wild instead of Gold

[zealous glen]

You can pass any message to it

Probably change the type to "Other"

[frosty dock]

same as before, main_start and main_end for arbitrary additional UI code like blueprint displays, key is new to allow using different loc text entries conditionally

[zealous glen]

That's the easy way unless you want to add localization support

[maiden phoenix]

huh

[worldly sapphire]

the type is after the SMODS right?

[zealous glen]

No it's in the return table

[worldly sapphire]

oh

[frosty dock]

nope it supports localization

you always give these a key to a localization entry

[zealous glen]

Not always, some the game handles internally

But I think the game can just take the message, at least when you call the card_eval_status_text directly

From the Faceless Joker code

[maiden phoenix]

Wait do I still need to put "card.ability.extra" or I just put "extra"? Because it crashes trying to index the field ability.

[worldly sapphire]

i tested, and the card shows nothing

is there a way i can make it show custom text?

like when it activates it shows Wild

[frosty dock]

first argument is always self, so the center now. generally self, info_queue, card

this is due to card being a dead param sometimes

[maiden phoenix]

Oh so I just need to replace every card with self

[frosty dock]

uhm no

self is the center, so the SMODS.Joker or whatever object

[maiden phoenix]

I mean "self.ability.x" instead of "card.ability.x"?

[frosty dock]

if you need the card, it's the third parameter

[maiden phoenix]

Oh I need to move the parameters

[frosty dock]

self.ability doesn't exist because self is a center

card is right, but it's the third parameter

jokers are no longer special here

[maiden phoenix]

I see

Got it working now, thanks 👍

[frosty dock]

np, I hope things go a good bit smoother once there's proper docs

I think this was one of the last breaking changes I need, I'm quite happy with the level of consistency of most other things

[maiden phoenix]

I feel bad for people who have more stuff in their mod or are less skilled when they'll have to update their code to fit SMODS 1.0.0, I hope you're ready for the pings lol

[frosty dock]

you bet my docs will have a "Migration guide" section that highlights key differences

I'm not explaining everything 50 million times

[maiden phoenix]

That's fully understandable, one of me must be already enough for you

[worldly sapphire]

i'm asking this again (because i don't know if its possible)

Can i make the game load custom text? like if i put k_wild for it to read, can it read from my mod?

a custom dictionary entry

[maiden phoenix]

If you're in 0.9.8 you can make one easily, check how other mods do it I'm sure there's plenty of examples

[worldly sapphire]

i was checking codex arcanum

do i need to put in a specific file to work?

[maiden phoenix]

No

[worldly sapphire]

mine is like this

i tried both and still doesn't work

[maiden phoenix]

IIrc it should be initialized outside of the mod's INIT

[worldly sapphire]

its outside

[maiden phoenix]

Do you do "message = subtext" or "message = localize('k_wild')"

[worldly sapphire]

uh

[maiden phoenix]

Just put 'k_wild' inside the localize, also it should be between parenthesis

[frosty dock]

type = 'Other' draws from G localization.descriptions.Other

do what sdm said if you want to draw from dict

[worldly sapphire]

like this?

[maiden phoenix]

Yes

[worldly sapphire]

it works

tysm

[maiden veldt]

is there a way to change the colours (or any bits of code) in the shaders folder? and if so, how? i.e. gold_seal.fs or negative_shine.fs

[wintry solar]

you could insert a new shader over one that's already in the game fairly easily

G.SHADERS['foil'] = love.graphics.newShader(path_to_new_shader)``` 
this should replace the foil shader for example

[maiden veldt]

thanks, i'll try this out later

do i need to define newShader beforehand? my code is just G.SHADERS['foil'] = love.graphics.newShader("GS-foil")

[worldly sapphire]

btw, how do i make a joker get a upgrade before playing all cards?

[wintry solar]

you need to put the whole path to your shader

try mod.path .. "/assets/shaders/GS-foil.fs"

[maiden veldt]

thanks again, it worked

[wintry solar]

I got the badges working \o/

[maiden phoenix]

The squad

[wooden nexus]

These are in 1.0.0. I won't be adding their effects in and letting someone who knows what they're doing do it.

I'm just making sure every joker is in with art

Any with that Shinku Virtue art is temporary art

[worldly sapphire]

how do i do this?

[maiden phoenix]

Every time you're wondering if you can do something the first thing you should do is check if a joker already does something similar and see how it works

Like for example what you're describing reminds me of Spare Trousers

[frosty dock]

RTB, Green Joker or DNA could also come to mind

it's fairly common behavior

best comparable might be midas mask

[maiden phoenix]

By "joker get a upgrade" I think they meant the scaling type

It's vague lol

[frosty dock]

oh i was still thinking of the previous question for a sec there lmao

[worldly sapphire]

i say when like, i tried using the spare trousers for a joker i was doing

but it worked when i played the hand

but the effect of the chips i was expecting did not trigger

[frosty dock]

scaling jokers typically need two different contexts

pants, rtb, green joker and similar trigger their upgrade in context.before, then give their mult in context.joker_main

aka the else bottom of the tower of thunk

[edgy reef]

Tower of

[worldly sapphire]

Tower

[maiden phoenix]

Btw Aure ever thought of doing a SMODS function of "eval_this" similarly to SMODS.end_calculate_context?

[frosty dock]

core.lua:1196

[edgy reef]

There is iirc

[maiden phoenix]

Wow you work so fast

lmao

[frosty dock]

i added that like a week ago haha

[worldly sapphire]

i did make the message appear before the hand is played

and its working

[maiden phoenix]

Gotta love making git push summary

[frosty dock]

lmao

[worldly sapphire]

barbecue bacon burguer

[random sleet]

eval_this

oh wait fr

[maiden phoenix]

Yep

[random sleet]

eval_this in the balatronomicon....

look mom im on tv

[maiden phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/gary-there-i-am-spongebob-spongebob-commerical-gif-22318667

The two more satisfied customers are us

[random sleet]

i probably shouldnt assume what it does lol

but i am curious

[frosty dock]

spoiler alert: i didn't change it

[maiden phoenix]

Don't trust him, he did and it evaluates if your played hand is cool, if it's not it writes insults all over the screen!!!

[frosty dock]

oh shit someone's onto me

quick, i need to revert that

/j

[maiden phoenix]

Hahaha

Could be another peak mod

[frosty dock]

i mean what i did to the quit button is basically another peak mod

[maiden phoenix]

Aure adding features from its community so cool 🫡

[random sleet]

oh man im so behind on steamodded...

[frosty dock]

no, steamodded is ahead on you

that's the reality of bleeding edge

[random sleet]

yeah im back in stake API hotfix

living in the far distant past of 5 days ago

[frosty dock]

uh

[edgy reef]

yay another breaking change to fix

[frosty dock]

yeah, expect commits of the last 5 days to annihilate certain aspects of your code

[frosty dock]

loc def or Sprite/Atlas?

[edgy reef]

loc_def

Also wtf does it want from me

[frosty dock]

huh?

[mellow sable]

what changed about loc_def?

[frosty dock]

it's no longer inconsistent af

[mellow sable]

oh

[random sleet]

oh is this the self, info_queue, card thing

[mellow sable]

Well time to see where it crashes my game

(once I fix atlas stuff)

[frosty dock]

it won't, it will just silently do nothing on you

(loc_def is also renamed to loc_vars)

[mellow sable]

Find and replace across multiple files in VS Code is what’s keeping me from going insane here

(not that the changes are bad though lol)

(just it makes it 20x easier to fix)

[frosty dock]

in short, there's this function here that replaces whatever localize call would otherwise happen in generate_card_ui (yes, joker vars are also in there now)

for centers, at least

[edgy reef]

Teach me, I need to not go insane editing 45 jokers files.

[frosty dock]

for tags, it's the same but card arg is dead

you can override this function, but using loc_vars should have you covered most the time

args order is always self, info_queue, card (where self is the center), return value is a table supporting everything that could be returned as a list before

[worldly sapphire]

one of my jokers worked with this but this one refuses to work.

SMODS.Jokers.j_lea.calculate = function(self, context)
    if  context.before then
        if self.ability.name == 'Spheromancer Pride' and next(context.poker_hands['Two Pair']) then
      if context.scoring_name == ("Two Pair") then
    card_eval_status_text(self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),colour = G.C.BLUE})
    self.ability.extra.chip_mod = self.ability.extra.chip_mod + self.ability.extra.chips
    end
end
end
end

it gets the upgrade

but it doesn't trigger

[wild gyro]

but why

[random sleet]

sick

i should figure out an observatory effect for this thing

[wooden nexus]

@gaunt thistle Having weird problem with Lovely

The debug window isn't closing

even with trying to close with task manager

[maiden phoenix]

Your joker only has the upgrade part, not the final calculate one

[wooden nexus]

may have to restart pc

[worldly sapphire]

i tried a end_calculate

and still no result

[mellow sable]

random from X1-X2 Mult?

[wooden nexus]

Well isn’t this fun

Balatro’s not even loading now

[maiden phoenix]

Depends where you put the if cond for sure

[gaunt thistle]

uhhhhhh

[mellow sable]

if the window says Select just right click it

[gaunt thistle]

that's a new one

[mellow sable]

*window title

[gaunt thistle]

restart

[wooden nexus]

I did restart

[gaunt thistle]

hmm

[mellow sable]

oh yeah check if the window title of the command like says Select

[gaunt thistle]

it's not starting at all?

[mellow sable]

that’s something that happens

[wooden nexus]

I load balatro and it closes after initializing

[mellow sable]

ok nevermind

[worldly sapphire]

below the first end

[gaunt thistle]

what happens if you run it without lovely?

[wooden nexus]

okay that's weird

I accidentally opened the other window for balatro i had

and now it's loading

[gaunt thistle]

this can happen if the game locks up and stops responding to Windows messages

are you on Linux?

[worldly sapphire]

This is how the code is

SMODS.Jokers.j_lea.calculate = function(self, context)
    if context.before then
        if self.ability.name == 'Spheromancer Pride' and next(context.poker_hands['Two Pair']) then
        if context.scoring_name == ("Two Pair") then
    card_eval_status_text(self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),colour = G.C.BLUE})
    self.ability.extra.chip_mod = self.ability.extra.chip_mod + self.ability.extra.chips
    end
    if SMODS.end_calculate_context(context) then
        return {
            message = localize{type='variable',key='a_chips',vars={self.ability.extra.chip_mod}},
            chip_mod = self.ability.extra.chip_mod,
            card = self,
        }
    end
    end
end
end```

[maiden phoenix]

Well thats wrong

[gaunt thistle]

I know oom can cause shit to explode

[wooden nexus]

windows

[maiden phoenix]

Oh its different

[edgy reef]

I figured it out myself and thank god I did.

[gaunt thistle]

gotcha

[edgy reef]

30 minutes later (I forgot to open some joker .lua files so they weren't replaced immediately xdd) and it's done.

[gaunt thistle]

maybe an io deadlock? no clue

[maiden phoenix]

Pretty sure card = self doesn't work in this context

[edgy reef]

Please ignore that the "card" variable is named "center" as I am not manually renaming variables

[worldly sapphire]

updated

[gaunt thistle]

new idea: lovely will insult the user at random if they are using steamodded

sorta like the overwrite warning

jk jk.. unless?

[maiden phoenix]

Oh yea then the SMODS.end_calculate is placed wrong

[worldly sapphire]

mb ;/

where do i place it....

where?

[maiden phoenix]

Haven't you made other jokers before? I feel like you need hand-holding for every step, you'll never learn that way, sorry if it's harsh

the end_calculate should be on the same level as context.before

[worldly sapphire]

silly me

[random sleet]

oh that could work maybe. i was thinking like random selection of 1/1.5X mult or 1.5X

[mellow sable]

yep

[night meteor]

Fun fact, seems game devs also have trouble spelling, good to know.

@frosty dock [sorry to ping you for this, but]

Is there documentation for Alpha Custom Joker making? Seeing as older joker mods are incompatibale.

[random sleet]

uhhhh

is something different about how you set blind atlases now

oh nvm i had atlas_array instead of atlas_table
and then i also hadnt capitalized the table name

uhhhhh

i feel like it shouldn't be required to have a loc_vars

[edgy reef]

Why in the world is Tag generate_ui different from how it's written in SMODS.Center what

[random sleet]

augh

this is supposed to be Jera

[hallow forge]

elaboration?

[mellow sable]

--- STEAMODDED HEADER
--- MOD_NAME: Talisman
--- MOD_ID: Talisman
--- PREFIX: talisman
--- MOD_AUTHOR: [MathIsFun_]
--- MOD_DESCRIPTION: A mod that increases Balatro's score limit.
--- ICON_ATLAS: icon

----------------------------------------------
------------MOD CODE -------------------------

-- This code doesn't do anything besides making Talisman appear in Steamodded and show a profile icon in v1.0.0+

if SMODS.Atlas then
  SMODS.Atlas({
    key = "icon",
    path = "icon.png",
    px = 32,
    py = 32
  })
end

----------------------------------------------
------------MOD CODE END----------------------

why doesn't this change my mod icon?

[hallow forge]

or is it literally just 8 suits

[random sleet]

modicon not icon

ICON_ATLAS isnt real

[random sleet]

minor arcana!

[hallow forge]

what does that mean?

[random sleet]

it means minor arcana!

duh :3

[hoary sand]

like from a tarot deck

why is it only queens though?

[mellow sable]

oh I see

refactoring 🫠

thank you

[mellow sable]

ok, but why doesn't it show up at all in smods 0.9.8

[hallow forge]

i thought icons were a new feature

[mellow sable]

yeah they are

I want it to appear in 1.0.0 and 0.9.8 though (it isn't loading the code through steamodded, it'll just appear in thet list)

figured it out

it was because my header wasn't in the same order as 0.9.8 mods

[wild gyro]

estrogen oddity real

[random sleet]

it is tho

[wild gyro]

yeah

[night meteor]

anybody here know of anything I look at to make my own jokers for the Alpha Build?

[random sleet]

attempting to set cards to a modded suit

[mellow sable]

oh yeah is loc_vars a function

or is it just what loc_def would return?

[random sleet]

loc_vars is a function and it has to return a table

the vars field of the table loc_vars returns is what loc_def would return before

[mellow sable]

oh

I was refactoring the wrong thing

[random sleet]

minor arcana update:

[hallow forge]

does this mod effect arcana packs? at all

[random sleet]

it adds Page of Cups, Page of Swords, Page of Wands, Page of Coins to turn cards into these

the special "center" sprite only applies to unenhanced minor arcana cards

i may look into overriding specifically bonus, mult, and wild, but for the meantime

[hallow forge]

now im just confused

[broken vine]

i remember mentions of these before, super interesting to see them for the first time

are they straightforward new suits?

[random sleet]

flushes of these suits have special effects

unfortunately they're kinda caught up with the rest of thac in 1.0 update limbo

these are functionally complete

[broken vine]

ooh, suits designed for flushes only. that's interesting.

[random sleet]

they wont be in your starting deck except for a deck where they replace the standard 52

cups gives +1 Hand this round
swords gives X2 Mult
wands give permanent chips to each scoring card (i forget rhe number)
coins gives $5

[broken vine]

very curious how it'll play. your mods are always super fun just to think about!

[random sleet]

my mods are 🗑️ but thanks ig

[random sleet]

btw the sprites for these are So Bad

i really oughta poke at making or acquiring nicer ones :3¢ hm

[wild gyro]

terrible take

[random sleet]

the only take i take is taking out the trash

[wild gyro]

what

[random sleet]

sorry you had to be there

[mellow crag]

Good morning!!

[random sleet]

feder!!!!!!!

minor arcana update

[mellow crag]

Saw that

What happened to their center?

[random sleet]

they have a special one

[mellow crag]

And how does it function with enhancements?

[random sleet]

if self.ability.set == "Default"

i may also override bonus, mult, and wild

[mellow crag]

Hmm I see

[mellow crag]

And if people wanna make their own enhancements that go over the default card?

[random sleet]

idk screw em

its hacky af rn

not really a good way to support stuff atm

[mellow crag]

XD

[random sleet]

i dont even have it set up as a function of the suit its hardcoded

[mellow sable]

how do I setup mod dependencies

just doing this isn't working

--- DEPENDENICES: [Talisman]

oh wait

I can't spell

wait apparently trying to load the missing dependency error sprite crashes the game]

[random sleet]

why smods.atlas({}) and not smods.atlas{}

[mellow sable]

both work

I'm just used to this syntax

[night meteor]

...Is it possible to rename base jokers in the Aplha Build?

I've tried adding ast part of the things in the SMODS.Joker:take_ownership as [ name = 'the name' ] and it doesn't seem to work

@frosty dock
So, I'm trying to reskin the Dagger [and also rename it]

1. Renaming isn't working [but I haven't tried another thing.]
   But
2. It seems doing this code here breaks the dagger.

It breaks the description and also the interaction with other cards [scribbled due to being a bit out of some peoples taste]

.............ok wait

Now it's working fine?

...I guess it was me, going back in and continuing a run. starting a fresh run with it made it work again fine.

[frosty dock]

I will make documentation available soon

[night meteor]

Ah, thank you. sorry for bugging.

[frosty dock]

(I just have to write it first, and the more questions y'all ask, the long that's gonna take) no worries

[frosty dock]

I- I forgot to change that

[frosty dock]

Think of the name field as what the game uses to identify Jokers. If you change the name, the game will no longer recognize its effect as dagger and the card will be effectless

the displayed name has to be changed through localization

[night meteor]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[random sleet]

haaaa so my issue is just relevant for tags ig

[royal ridge]

any way i can add local variables into the name and sprite pos of a joker?

[unreal nacelle]

(Initially posted this in the wrong channel, woops)

On a different note, I seem to be cursed with the ability to get so many different ideas for Jokers, yet don't know how to code nor properly balance/word them out- the most recent idea I had was a mod based on the Stick Fighting community, like GildedGuy, Hyun's Dojo, RHG (if anybody still remembers them), etc

[night meteor]

I... assume I can't just modify the files in the 7zip viewer to do that.

[frosty dock]

you can do that, but it's very fragile

[random sleet]

this was a headache to get right

[frosty dock]

for 1.0, you can specify a loc_txt table when you take ownership

[night meteor]

ah, cool

[random sleet]

related code

this is so unbelievably fragile and precarious it is actually sickening

[narrow pollen]

tbh

i would have put them in a for loop

[random sleet]

... where would you have done that

like what benefits from a for loop here

[narrow pollen]

instead of the if-elseif stuff like

[random sleet]

oh yeah

that part is just because i don't care enough

[narrow pollen]

define a table with {"m_bonus", "m_mult", "m_wild"}

ya know what, fair

[random sleet]

getting this fundamentally working was a nightmare

[narrow pollen]

i would have just done it that way because i

really like futureproofing my shit

[random sleet]

the center = _center or self.config.center is required

the weirdness around the local suit line is required

[frosty dock]

that looks jank as hell

[random sleet]

it is

but it's because set_sprites is called at inconsistent af timings based on what's happening to the card

[frosty dock]

but so is thunk code so

[narrow pollen]

yeah this really be a thunk moment

[random sleet]

if the center or suit detection stuff is any different, the card will not change when it should (or will change when it shouldnt)

oh yeah

aure have you tried making a tarot that sets things to modded suits

cuz i got a crash earlier from that

[frosty dock]

not on 1.0 actually

[random sleet]

lemme uhhh grab a stacktrace

[frosty dock]

but it should be same-ish since it directly used vanilla code before iirc

[random sleet]

(with the relevant block of card.lua just in case my line numbers are different from yours)

it might have to do with the fact that it seems like suits get registered with a :lower()'d key?

[frosty dock]

uhhh prefix shenanigans?

I don't think suit keys get :lower()ered

[random sleet]

well somewhere "Cups" is turning into "cups"

[frosty dock]

is it?

[random sleet]

yeah, and it's not in my code

[frosty dock]

what does it say in the logs the key is?

[random sleet]

thats the thing

it's trying to set it to "Wands"

but it's registered as "wands"

so it indexes SMODS.Suits for "Wands" which doesn't exist

[random sleet]

its why i have to self.base.suit:lower() here

thank you inspect function your services are incredible

[frosty dock]

sorry what

I don't call lower anywhere in related code

[random sleet]

OH

NEVER MIND

my bad

im sorry

[frosty dock]

....

[random sleet]

🙏 sorry

[frosty dock]

what was the issue?

[random sleet]

it's setting the key based on the key in the array i'm calling from

so the key is lowercase from there

[frosty dock]

oh lmao

[random sleet]

there is no :lower() i am just using the wrong information

that's how i handle the keys for everything else i just neglected to realize suits would need to be different

ok suit conv tarot work now

it's literally just that i need to hire a better rubber duck

now all i need to do is ✨ tooltips ✨

[frosty dock]

🦆

quack

[maiden phoenix]

Aure are you interested in updated example mods or its too soon?

[frosty dock]

I will

[maiden phoenix]

Alright

[frosty dock]

ofc any contributions to example mods are welcome though

[maiden phoenix]

Should it be heavily descriptive or I just make something simple?

[austere schooner]

ok so steamodded, how do you get the game to like, recognise your mod even exists

i've copied an existing mod [with permission] but it does not seem to want to register

[random sleet]

relatively painless actually

and it plays nice with others

[zealous glen]

If the mod was functional and in your mods folder it should be automatic

Do you know if Steamodded installed correctly?

[frosty dock]

there should both be simple examples and more complex ones

whatever you see fit, really

[austere schooner]

looking at it, i think i forgot the square brackets around the MOD_AUTHOR field

[maiden phoenix]

I see, noted

[austere schooner]

all i need to do now is figure out how to make a joker use a specific part of a texture atlas instead of an individual file and i can start the... long process of adding 300 individual jonklers
i have bad ideas

[narrow pollen]

you should divide the effects by 5 and have them trigger per card

🔴

[random sleet]

nooooo that's what makes them cool

that they trigger all on their own after the cards score~~~

[mellow crag]

Oh that’s neat

[zealous glen]

x and y

[narrow pollen]

you know what, fair and based

[austere schooner]

also is there a list of all the IDs of the vanilla jokers lying around since I will need those I think

[maiden phoenix]

You can extract the .exe in steamapps/common/Balatro

[austere schooner]

ah here we are

[random sleet]

its almost custom playing cards

if you ignore all the ways that it isn't custom playing cards

[royal ridge]

i'm a little confused, self.config.center.pos.x affects the sprite globally but self.ability.extra affects the card locally?

[random sleet]

config.center is the same table as the one in G.P_CENTERS

like, literally is the same table

both are references to the same table

[royal ridge]

oh

well then

[random sleet]

instead you can do something akin to this to manipulate the pos of a sprite. here im doing it in set_sprites but depending on what you need to do it'll have to be in different places i think

[royal ridge]

thank you so much looking at this code just flipped a switch

😭👍

[broken vine]

note: make spam email joker

[random sleet]

dang that's a repeat isnt it

<@&1133519078540185692>

[crisp coral]

code so bad that mods had to step in

[olive shoal]

#💻・modding-dev user makes worst mod ever, asked to leave Balatro server

[shell timber]

mod that leaves the play and quit buttons in the same place

[frosty dock]

mod that makes quit button functional

[maiden phoenix]

mod that makes every button the quit button

[shell timber]

no that's a good mod

[maiden phoenix]

You're a good mod

[robust tundra]

thanks

[royal ridge]

@frosty dock most recent steamodded commit crashes when trying to peek abandoned deck during plant

probably a more complex cause, but that's a way to recreate it

[odd dock]

holy shit peak mod 2

[crisp coral]

ok you know what

peak mod 2

[gilded blaze]

how to wipe language selection to make it fall back to English
I broke my modded Balatro completely, and removing the mod doesn't solve the issue

man
I hate not being able to wait for Language API instructions

[crisp coral]

go ahead, pick one

[zealous glen]

Maybe verifying file integrity or just reinstalling would help?

[crisp coral]

remove steamodded

like just put it somewhere else

[gilded blaze]

I got it

remove then readd steamodded

and it worked thank goodness

[frosty dock]

huh, I think I've seen something similar but forgot about it? I'm on it

[crisp coral]

aure 😭

i pinged you about it 😭

[royal ridge]

dna during the plant also produces the same crash

idk

[frosty dock]

I've been squashing too many other bugs 💀

I have like over 1k pings in here total

[crisp coral]

tbf most of them are reply pings

because people sure love reply pinging

[frosty dock]

sure

Anyway point is it's easy to forget a thing when there's this many

[random sleet]

this is baffling to me

[frosty dock]

oh don't worry, it's just because 1.0 is unreleased

I will soon catch up once it's released

[random sleet]

assuming i dont get a crateful dumped on my toes when i release thac 1.0

[maiden phoenix]

English

[frosty dock]

gosh, is this just me messing up operator precedence?

[crisp coral]

no i'm pretty sure it's the copy_card func

[frosty dock]

no it's this exact comparison that's crashing

[crisp coral]

because is_face looks fine to me

[frosty dock]

wait

[crisp coral]

id and rank are both nil

[frosty dock]

that means id is nil?

hm

i don't see how that makes sense

[frosty dock]

it

uh

it works fine without my Card:is_face() override

i guess the original function doesn't compare any values, it just checks equality

yeah no i just have to check for falsy IDs

oh great, taking ownership breaks blind atlases

[maiden phoenix]

The Plant is a lie

[frosty dock]

alright we good, the plant is real again

[oblique gust]

guys how can i get the name(string) and desc(table) of a joker? i tired
G.localization.descriptions.Joker['j_joker'].name/.text (j_joker as an example)but it says attempt to index a nil value so idk if its related to priority or sum

[crisp coral]

are you on 1.0.0?

[oblique gust]

no not yet

on 0.9.8

[crisp coral]

hm

it should... work?

where are you placing this line

[frosty dock]

that should always work, maybe there's a typo?

[oblique gust]

so im actually trying to modify fusion jokers' FusionJokers.fusions:add_fusion function a little, table.insert a line making use of joker1 and joker2 parameters to both jokers' desc, to help me easily find the matches, before the author chooses to add similar feature officially. so i guess it will be a bit more tricky than i thought

[frosty dock]

oh, in that case you need to load after that mod

[oblique gust]

fusion jokers got its priority set to -10000 so im afraid it'll break things. maybe i gotta type em manually

[frosty dock]

-10000 means it'll load very early, so neutral priority should just work

[oblique gust]

whaa

alright imma try that

[royal ridge]

i do not recommend using this btw: after about an hour of using this, i encountered several head-scratching bugs that disappeared upon a full reload

[frosty dock]

it's mostly a test and likely to be scrapped, but could you tell me about what kind of issues you ran into?

[random sleet]

👀

[remote coral]

Are those enhancements or do the modded suits just have whacky backgrounds

[random sleet]

wacky backgrounds

[royal ridge]

i was using it to test out changing edition shader code variables; whatever was shown to me was getting confusing and inconsistent

also, applying the custom edition played the edition noise an absurd amount of times, likely the amount of times i quick-reloaded (this is what finally tipped it off, as i hadn't touched this part of the code)

[random sleet]

i feel like this is easier to look at

[frosty dock]

I would assume this is because I'm not reloading all files, as I wasn't sure how to do that

[random sleet]

enhancements on these

incredible very preview

[royal ridge]

i ❤️ love ❤️ custom ❤️ suits

[random sleet]

i love when i make new api hooks that are jank af and then use them to excessive degrees

[frosty dock]

can I get some feedback on this?

[remote coral]

That do look dope

[crisp coral]

should mention requiring git for command line

[frosty dock]

hm sure

[crisp coral]

oh fucks sake what happened

[frosty dock]

loc_def is now loc_vars and the return value needs to be wrapped in { vars = ... } for consistency reasons

[crisp coral]

thanks aure

[frosty dock]

np

[crisp coral]

like this?

[frosty dock]

yeah

[random sleet]

looks good to me

[crisp coral]

okay the one in collections is still saying error

and the atlas in round end is still wrong

[mellow crag]

What have you guys worked on today?

[maiden phoenix]

#⚙・modding-general message

[crisp coral]

@frosty dock in Blind:debuff_hand, should have a check for obj.debuff_hand's return

returning true in the object's function does not actually do anything

[frosty dock]

right.. it's a good thing we have a blindomancer around here

[crisp coral]

i am the one who blinds

[lament nexus]

where can i find logs for game crashes from a mod?

[edgy reef]

If you have the most recent lovely update you can find it in Mods/lovely/log

Otherwise I don’t think there are any crash logs

[maiden veldt]

where does background.fs draw its colours from? changing RED and BLUE affects it, but i've noticed that there's a slight blue tint to the swirl

same picture but greyscaled to show the colour difference

[frosty dock]

what else should this include?

[maiden phoenix]

Maybe specify the {vars = {... in loc_vars since it's not in loc_def

[frosty dock]

I'll leave that as a 'refer to docs'

i did also add Tarot/Planet/Spectral -> Consumable

[maiden phoenix]

Does it make modding custom consumable easier that way?

[frosty dock]

boilerplate removal, the code for the three of these were always basically identical

and it supports custom consumable types that way

[maiden phoenix]

nice

[edgy reef]

Huh, I guess I'll have to do a few more things for this to display properly.

(I'm adding this into Ortalab just in case Chameleon Joker decides to break again)

[edgy reef]

Ok so now the custom error message pops up with the stack trace but it's also recursive somehow?

[zealous glen]

An example but there’s probably one somewhere

[gilded narwhal]

Hey guys I'm trying to get 1.0 to work but when I use lovely injector I get this (also here's all the folders)

Also I'll get the same error but with deck.lua instead of lua_reload.lua

[frosty dock]

yeah there'll be proper docs, this is just meant to outline the changes

[frosty dock]

that looks like an incorrect installation of 1.0

[gilded narwhal]

Which file is it

Because I've downloaded the one that's on the github

[frosty dock]

download the source from the main branch on github (press the green code button, then download zip)

[gilded narwhal]

Did that

[frosty dock]

delete the steamodded folder and re-extract that download into mods

latest 1.0 doesn't have a lovely.toml file, but a lovely directory with multiple files

and you seem to be missing some other files too

[undone ingot]

heyo, is there a google doc or something for guides on writing balatro mods?

i.e. like a breakdown of the script?

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki

currently updating this for steamodded 1.0, but it has a good bit of information on 0.9.8

[gilded narwhal]

Alright the game loaded but

[undone ingot]

word awesome, ty! Also, the one thing im worried about is mod software corrupting my steam game file, is there any protections against this? obvi just stressed bc of the malware notifications

and/or is steammodded approved by thunk?

[frosty dock]

get the latest commit, this looks outdated

[frosty dock]

the classic injector is not recommended anymore - it's safe to use, but it brings too much hassle dealing with antivirus software

there's a much better solution fortunately

Lovely uses runtime injection to mod the game without touching the game files directly

either is safe to use - steamodded is open source, you could build the injector yourself if you wanted

[undone ingot]

oh thats awesome, thank you!

[frosty dock]

All good, please do ask if anything else is unclear

[gilded narwhal]

Ermmm where is that 😅

[frosty dock]

just go on github and download the code again

[undone ingot]

ye I really wanna make a casino-themed mod but my coding is only like python data processing and bash for my job so im tryna see how complicated it is lol

[frosty dock]

lua really isn't too bad to get the hang of, it just has a few quirks here and there

like 1-indexed arrays, or that basically everything is a table if it's not primitive

[gilded narwhal]

Same thing

[edgy reef]

Lua is fun until you have weird table shenanigans or nodes[1]nodes[1]nodes[1]nodes[1]nodes[1]nodes[1]nodes[1]nodes[1]nodes[1]nodes[1]nodes[1]...

[frosty dock]

exact same crash where it says something with LOAD_LOC?

[gilded narwhal]

Correct

[undone ingot]

word ill just read thru the source code to get a hang of it

last time i looked at it looked really clea

*clean

thunk is such an orgnaized coder it makes me so happy lol

[frosty dock]

something's wrong then, what's the contents of Mods/Steamodded?

[gilded narwhal]

This is mods

[mellow sable]

mods should have the Steamodded code in a folder called Steamodded

(although at least you have the Cryptid code in its own folder 👍 )

[frosty dock]

there's quite a few annoying inconsistencies that get uncovered when needing to change certain things at a fundamental level

[mellow sable]

(but make sure you download the latest source code of Steamodded to use that)
