that's actually a ternary

it sets the current option depending on the gamespeed

[native osprey]

oh

[frosty dock]

so it checks if the game speed is 3 and if so, selects the 5th option (which is game speed 3)

if the game speed is different, the check doesn't work

[native osprey]

thank u for the explanation

[random sleet]

you can put literally anything inside a gameobject constructor

[maiden phoenix]

Im gonna put you in a gameobject constructor

[random sleet]

you could set arbitrary_value_24 = 24 in your constructor and then your gameobject will have self.config.center.arbitrary_value_24 and it will be 24

(assuming it is a center, otherwise accessible however appropriate for that object)

the whole point of the new constructor taking a table is so you can just cram whatever the fuck in there

getting back more ontopic here, should i be looking to release thac/oapi/emojiokers for 1.0 soon? or are there more breaking changes anticipated and i should just hold on a while

(its spelled yacht btw)

[frosty dock]

oh

i think we're mostly good on breaking changes, but you never know

except sound.lua, not quite happy with where that one's at

[random sleet]

well, i dont touch sounds

so thats good

i do only have a few things left before thac is Ready and emojiokers is like 65% shitpost so

and i just dont want to get caught in a weird limbo state where it only works on like one alpha version yk

[frosty dock]

i still haven't given seals a prefix lmao

i mean 'nil' is funny

[random sleet]

i dont know if that'll be an issue exactly; feder implemented the stamps as their own gameobject class (the main thing i have left is just integrating his ported code lol, so i dont quite know the intricacies of it yet)

shoutouts to itay for being awesome again

[frosty dock]

they could have a shared parent class like centers do, but that seems like it could work out either way

[random sleet]

i dont know! one of the many great mysteries of the universe :^)

[hushed estuary]

can anybody tell me the blind api commands for steamodded 1.0?

[frosty dock]

I haven't gotten around to writing docs for that yet, for now you can look them up in lovely/blind.toml

I feel like if it’s small enough it doesn’t violate the rule, since I imagine it’s to prevent from straight up redistributing the source code

[oblique gust]

i dont even know if its injected by steamodded but whatever

[frosty dock]

eh, that's fine

no one gonna reconstruct Balatro's source from small snippets

[zealous glen]

I think if someone would reconstruct Balatro’s source code it would be by unzipping it

with steamodded 1.0 idk how to change the loc_vars when taking ownership of a joker

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('green_joker', {
                config = {extra = 1, mult = 0},
                name = "cry-Green Joker", --will prevent old calculation code from working
                loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
                    return {vars = {center.ability.extra,center.ability.extra,center.ability.mult}}
                end,
                calculate = function(self, context)
                    if context.discard and not context.blueprint and context.other_card == context.full_hand[#context.full_hand] then
                        local prev_mult = self.ability.mult
                        self.ability.mult = math.max(0, self.ability.mult - self.ability.extra)
                        if self.ability.mult ~= prev_mult then 
                            return {
                                message = localize{type='variable',key='a_mult_minus',vars={self.ability.extras}},
                                colour = G.C.RED,
                                card = self
                            }
                        end
                    end
                    if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before and not context.blueprint then
                        self.ability.mult = self.ability.mult + self.ability.extra
                        return {
                            card = self,
                            message = localize{type='variable',key='a_mult',vars={self.ability.extra}}
                        }
                    end
                    if context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.before and not context.after then
                        return {
                            message = localize{type='variable',key='a_mult',vars={self.ability.mult}},
                            mult_mod = self.ability.mult
                        }
                    end
                end
            }):register()

Here's the relevant code, but the localization doesn't work

[zealous glen]

Aure has commented their opinion that rule is about not attaching a debugger to the game, but incidentally patching a bug would be fine

[frosty dock]

not that I think it'd change anything, but in case it does, remove :register()?

nvm I know what this is

it wrongly assumes you're not touching localization and setting generate_ui to 0

it should work with loc_txt = {}, but it's something I should fix

[mellow sable]

didn't work with that, and this is what happened when I put a garbage key/value pair in loc_txt

updated Steamodded and now Stake API crashes

yippee

[frosty dock]

i moved some things around with the way stake text works

[mellow sable]

self.shared_sticker_perishable = Sprite(0, 0, self.CARD_W, self.CARD_H, self.ASSET_ATLAS["cry_sticker"], {x = 4,y = 4})

and this line of code crashes the game again

[frosty dock]

the main description goes in loc_txt.description, and the sticker description goes in loc_txt.sticker

[frosty dock]

uhhh

[mellow sable]

local sticker_atlas = {object_type = "Atlas",
    key = "sticker",
    
    path = "sticker_cry.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}

atlas code if that helps

this part of the code usually breaks every few steamodded commits so I'm used to it by now

[frosty dock]

uh huh

what's the crash message?

[mellow sable]

same old attempt to index field 'atlas', a nil value

I'm putting this near the end of G:start_up()

[frosty dock]

just to be sure, after initSteamodded(), right?

[mellow sable]

yes

do I understand correctly that this injection should allow me to use remove from deck function in joker's constructor?
EDIT: tried and yes it does allow me

[worldly sapphire]

i still don't understand how the loyalty card works, i'm trying to use its code for a joker i'm doing but idk what is wrong

here is the code of the joker i'm trying to make using loyalty card as base by replacing the Xmult with chip_mod

SMODS.Jokers.j_cheesecake.calculate = function(self, context)
                if context.loyalty_remaining then
                if self.ability.name == 'Cheesecake Bomb' then
                    self.ability.loyalty_remaining = (self.ability.extra.every-1-(G.GAME.hands_played - self.ability.hands_played_at_create))%(self.ability.extra.every+1)
                    if context.blueprint then
                        if self.ability.loyalty_remaining == self.ability.extra.every then
                            return {
                                message = localize{type='variable',key='a_chips',vars={self.ability.extra.chip_mod}},
                                chip_mod = self.ability.extra.chip_mod
                            }
                        end
                    else
                        if self.ability.loyalty_remaining == 0 then
                            local eval = function(card) return (card.ability.loyalty_remaining == 0) end
                            juice_card_until(self, eval, true)
                        elseif self.ability.loyalty_remaining == self.ability.extra.every then
                            return {
                                message = localize{type='variable',key='a_chips',vars={self.ability.extra.chip_mod}},
                                chip_mod = self.ability.extra.chip_mod
                            }
                        end
                    end
                end
            end
        end```

[zealous glen]

What are you having trouble understanding about Loyalty Card?

[worldly sapphire]

how the loyalty_remaining works

also the joker is not working

[sly forge]

hm, see the if context.loyalty_remaining?

[worldly sapphire]

its already there

[sly forge]

the joker will only activate if context.loyalty_remaining is true

so, check where in the code calculate_joker is called when context.loyalty_remaining is true

[frosty dock]

is reloading after crashes (by pressing r) broken for anyone else?

[sly forge]

gonna apologize for using the socratic method on you, you probably just want help. -> context.loyalty_remaining isn't ever set by the game, so your function is basically one giant if false

[zealous glen]

IIRC it’s just a number. The Joker remembers the remaining loyalty, and when it reaches 0 it grants the benefit, then resets

[worldly sapphire]

so if context.loyalty_remaining true?

[sly forge]

er, no

[zealous glen]

I mean, they didn’t show the definition of their Joker

[zealous glen]

Your Joker only has the default Joker variables and the ones you define

context never has loyalty_remaining

What you want is to track the number inside your Joker

[frosty dock]

your card does^

[zealous glen]

If you defined it, that is

[sly forge]

ok this is just getting confusing

[worldly sapphire]

I only want the joker to give 350 chips after i played 3 hands

[wintry solar]

change line two to if context.after then

[zealous glen]

Is that the context Loyalty Card uses?

[wintry solar]

yes

[zealous glen]

I never know what’s after and what’s neither before nor after

[wintry solar]

wait no

it's not after

I misread my collapsed code

it doesn't look at context

it's literally the first one in the stack

so just delete line 2

[zealous glen]

it doesn’t look at context
pic shows it looking at context

[wintry solar]

no it doesn't?

context.after is collapsed, see the else

[zealous glen]

what does else means

[wintry solar]

it's in the if/else chain

[zealous glen]

and what’s the if condition in the chain?

[wintry solar]

if context.before then do collapsed stuff, elseif context.after do collapsed stuff, else do loyalty card

[frosty dock]

that boils down to context.joker_main

[zealous glen]

So what does that imply about the condition when Loyalty Card executes?

[frosty dock]

it's just not explicitly named

if context.joker_main then is good enough

[zealous glen]

I think that’s only used for Telescope

Or Observatory

I forget the name

I don’t think joker_main matters at all here

But context.before and context.after do

[frosty dock]

run it and print out context

[wintry solar]

i mean this is the entire sequence

[frosty dock]

it'll have joker_main, it's just not explicitly named

[zealous glen]

I mean, it’s there, but it isn’t used

But AFAIK so do other calls

[wintry solar]

yeah but other calls won't get that far

[frosty dock]

the block is defined by the fact that it isn't any of the above

[zealous glen]

Exactly

[frosty dock]

which breaks when you add other contexts

[wintry solar]

loyalty card is in the bucket of things that don't need to happen at other contexts

[frosty dock]

the truth of the matter is that it needs to happen in joker_main, the game just doesn't say that

[zealous glen]

That’s why context.before and context.after are looked at by Loyalty Card

[frosty dock]

it says it's none of the above

[zealous glen]

Because if Loyalty Card runs those are not true

[zealous glen]

It’s in the bucket of things that are context.cardarea == G.jokers and not anything else

[wintry solar]

yes

[zealous glen]

So it does care about context.before and context.after

[wintry solar]

no

[zealous glen]

yes

[wintry solar]

it specifically doesn't want context.before or context.after

[zealous glen]

It doesn’t run when context.before evaluates to true

[frosty dock]

there are 7 different calculate calls with cardarea = G.jokers

[zealous glen]

Therefore it cares about it evaluating to not true

[frosty dock]

one is remove_playing_cards, which is somewhere in the above stack

[zealous glen]

Idem for context.after

[frosty dock]

one is before

[wintry solar]

oh I see what you mean

[frosty dock]

one is edition

[wintry solar]

it should be not context.before and not context.after and context.joker_main

[frosty dock]

one is also remove_playing_cards

[zealous glen]

The last one isn’t necessary

[frosty dock]

one is debuffed_hand

one is after

and one is joker_main

the only one that reaches is joker_main

[zealous glen]

It’s if context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.before and not context.after

At least natively

[frosty dock]

if context.joker_main then works

it's not equivalent when there's other context calls, but that's when the vanilla code breaks down

[zealous glen]

I think it still needs the cardarea check

[frosty dock]

no

[zealous glen]

Because again there’s another context that uses joker_main

When you open a pack

[frosty dock]

there's exactly one call with joker_main, and it's this one

it's the only one

[zealous glen]

Maybe it wasn’t Telescope but Observatory

One of the Voucher effects uses it

[frosty dock]

yes

this gets executed in line with jokers in joker_main

aka the else block of doom

[wintry solar]

speaking of the else block of doom

for custom editions how am I supposed to hook their calculation into it

[zealous glen]

I prefer localthunk’s if-then-elseif Tower of Babel

[frosty dock]

I'm actually using the incorrect patch in steamodded as of now, now that I explained all that

I need to change that else to account for joker_main and added context just aren't an issue

[zealous glen]

By the way, I think a short paragraph on how to add contexts would be helpful

Or at least “afterwards hook this function and add your context to it”

end_calculate_context?

[frosty dock]

THAT'S WHAT I JUST WENT ON ABOUT

that function is useless

it's a dumb inverted check that boils down to context.joker_main

[zealous glen]

I mean except it can have not context.joker_main

[frosty dock]

it can if you add context

which is why I just made it explicity context.joker_main

[edgy reef]

Oh cool

[sly forge]

the tower of if statements is annoying. I have been thinking of doing a scoring overhaul instead of just messing with enhancements and Stone Cards

just gotta come up with a good structure

[frosty dock]

excluding custom contexts makes it slightly less annoying, but yeah it's pretty bad

[sly forge]

ah, I'd support adding custom contexts. I want mutual exclusion though

[frosty dock]

the thing with overhauling is that every update of the game requires changes on our end

[frosty dock]

ah, I mean making sure custom contexts don't infiltrate the joker_main section, which is what I just did

[sly forge]

I see

ok, desired requirements: I want it to be easy to tell when a joker will activate, and easy to write a joker that just does one thing in one context

[frosty dock]

it's always been possible to just use context.joker_main, it's just that we didn't notice

[zealous glen]

I wonder what that context name means though

joker_main ah yes of course thunk

[frosty dock]

it means the plain old regular joker scoring phase where things like mult on jokers themselves triggers

take jimbo's +4 mult

that's what happens there

but yeah the name is bad

[zealous glen]

Except not there there because AFAIK they don’t use calculate

They just have a non-extra variable

[frosty dock]

that is in fact false

[zealous glen]

TIL

But it’s still not an extra variable

[frosty dock]

the meaning of config.mult is void, the implementation is up to you

similar is not true of config.h_size

[zealous glen]

But why didn’t thunk define functions for individual Jokers rather than the endless tower;_;

[sly forge]

anyway was thinking about doing something like calculate_joker.context_A.sub_context_B or something. use the context as a key ensures mutual exclusion

[zealous glen]

But don’t you need to manually increase and decrease hand size?

[sly forge]

you could ask why thunk used if statements in EVERY FUNCTION

eh. not the worst, it's forgivable still

[frosty dock]

rationalize all centers

[zealous glen]

I’m just curious about calculate_joker because it seems like the obvious use case for what I said

[zealous glen]

christianize all the kingdoms /ref

[sly forge]

so what do people think of using context as a keying structure instead?

[frosty dock]

imo it's less readable than

calculate = function(card, context)
  if context.whatever then

  end
end

[zealous glen]

What do you mean?

[frosty dock]

you have to keep in mind some jokers need multiple contexts

[zealous glen]

I’d like if Lua had Julia’s type system

[sly forge]

if you want typing in Lua... actually you can get it with annotations and the lua language server on vscode right now

not Julia but hey

[zealous glen]

There’s a trick where you can define a type and then a function with the same as another function, but that takes that type as an argument, as a way to select for cases without using ifs

[frosty dock]

type args

function calculate<joker_main>(card, context)

[sly forge]

ok, how about having a context.type field containing an 'enum'

(w/ annotations)

type args, ha

no

[zealous glen]

I think overhauling the calculation system can wait

For now I’d rather have it working

[sly forge]

appreciate the joke there

[zealous glen]

What’s a type args?

[sly forge]

like List<T> in java

the T

[zealous glen]

I don’t know Java

Is that like parametric functions?

In Julia

[sly forge]

nah

[wintry solar]

man I haven't programmed in a static typed language in ages

[sly forge]

at a basic level, List is a "function on types", like given int as a type, List<int> would be a type

and T is a type parameter / type argument

[frosty dock]

i mean a context.type sort of enum-driven system can work, but I think it's fine as is and can wait for now

[sly forge]

yeah

[frosty dock]

the fact we have calculate functions separated out for each center is already so much more readable

[zealous glen]

So a parametric type rather than a parametric function?

To be fair I don’t remember the name for the Julia functions that can depend on a type like that

I just called it parametric like parametric types

[sly forge]

actually both use "parametric types"

[frosty dock]

tbf parametric functions are similar

[sly forge]

just in different ways

so yeah, a copy(x) function taking x of type T and returning type T, the T would be another example

the actual syntax might like copy<T>(x: T) -> T or something

[zealous glen]

Is that Java?

[sly forge]

...no

[frosty dock]

...

[sly forge]

java is awkward

[zealous glen]

Ah wait is that a Julia anonymous function

I don’t exactly recognize that syntax

I don’t remember ever typing anonymous Julia functions

Is that even possible?

[frosty dock]

that's not an anon function

the syntax isn't even the point here

I don't mind reading that as pseudocode even if it's valid in some lang

[zealous glen]

Is it valid in some language or not?

I thought it was

But I just didn’t know which

[sly forge]

it would be valid in Rust, maybe, but I'm just using the most common notations

[frosty dock]

it doesn't even really matter if it's valid, if we understand what it means

[zealous glen]

I didn’t

:<

[frosty dock]

:p

[sly forge]

the idea is, in my fantasy programming language, you'd call that thing as copy<int>(5). or just copy(5) most likely, the int argument will be inferred

[zealous glen]

I’m still not sure because it looks close to Julia but isn’t Julia so it’s messing with me

[sly forge]

it's not Julia at all

[zealous glen]

I got that already

[frosty dock]

now why would you copy an int

[zealous glen]

But my parser is guessing it’s Julia to try it first in a naive optimization heuristic and failing, then getting too confused to revert to parsing it the traditional way

[sly forge]

you may want to read https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/types/#Parametric-Types then

however julia's docs seem quite complex, so

[zealous glen]

It’s been a while since I used Julia frequently

Current place uses Python (unfortunately for me)

(though still better than other options)

[sly forge]

oh, my example actually works perfectly in python

[zealous glen]

Eh, except for macros which I never learned the rest was ok

[sly forge]

just replace <> with []

[zealous glen]

Huh

I’ve never seen that in Python

Is that new?

Or is it like

[sly forge]

funnily enough Python's bolted-on type system is in some ways better than some other languages' actual type systems

[zealous glen]

Cython

[sly forge]

nope, it's TYPE ANNOTATIONS!

which actually do nothing, technically, but are useful

[frosty dock]

it's type hints, technically

much like typescript, which won't help you at runtime, but forces you to write cleaner code instead... but then again js by itself is a crime against humanity

[worldly sapphire]

okay, i think i got a better idea for the joker that doesn't involve the loyalty card... i guess

[wintry solar]

did you not try context.joker_main?

[worldly sapphire]

i did put it in the start

idk if it worked

like this?

SMODS.Jokers.j_cheesecake.calculate = function(self, context)
                if context.joker_main then
                if self.ability.name == 'Cheesecake Bomb' then
                    self.ability.loyalty_remaining = (self.ability.extra.every-3-(G.GAME.hands_played - self.ability.hands_played_at_create))%(self.ability.extra.every+1)
                    if context.blueprint then
                        if self.ability.loyalty_remaining == self.ability.extra.every then
                            return {
                                message = localize{type='variable',key='a_chips',vars={self.ability.extra.chip_mod}},
                                chip_mod = self.ability.extra.chip_mod
                            }
                        end
                    else
                        if self.ability.loyalty_remaining == 0 then
                            local eval = function(card) return (card.ability.loyalty_remaining == 0) end
                            juice_card_until(self, eval, true)
                        elseif self.ability.loyalty_remaining == self.ability.extra.every then
                            return {
                                message = localize{type='variable',key='a_chips',vars={self.ability.extra.chip_mod}},
                                chip_mod = self.ability.extra.chip_mod
                            }
                        end
                    end
                    end
                end
            end
        end```

oh my god, i'm feeling so dumb right now

[mellow sable]

SMODS.find_card is a nice addition

[worldly sapphire]

:( angy with myself

[mellow sable]

no longer do I need to put prefixes in my joker names

[wintry solar]

did it work?

[frosty dock]

in fact you don't need internal names at all (for the most part, except for cases like green joker earlier where you need to get around the original code)

[worldly sapphire]

yes

now i cant make the loc_def work >:(

the infamous loc_def

function SMODS.Jokers.j_cheesecake.loc_def(card)
                return {card.ability.extra.every + 1, card.ability.extra.chip_mod, localize{type = 'variable', key = (card.ability.loyalty_remaining == 0 and 'loyalty_active' or 'loyalty_inactive'), vars = {card.ability.loyalty_remaining}}}
            end```

[wintry solar]

what doesn't work about it?

[worldly sapphire]

the game generates this crash

[night pagoda]

are there any changes to SMODS.end_calculate_context(context) in joker's calculation? I thought I saw commit about that on github

[gilded narwhal]

Tried creating a new account

[zealous glen]

Idk but earlier aure mentioned one can just check for context.joker_main

@night pagoda

[night pagoda]

would that be the same thing essentially?

by that I mean do I just replace everything with it and it should be fine without any additional changes?

[zealous glen]

If I understood what aure said, yes

But idk what your jokers are doing so Idk

[night pagoda]

ty!

[sly forge]

hm. after working on enhancements a bit more, I feel that making a calculate_enhancement function is somewhat misguided. What kinds of enhancements do people want to make?

something like X-Card, for example, modifies getting the card's rank, it doesn't need calculate_enhancement

[wintry solar]

thunk why

[zealous glen]

Can I DM you

[wintry solar]

wait nvm I am dumb

[mellow sable]

do mod versions print in the error screen of Steamodded 1.0.0? or if not, is there a way to make them print?

[wintry solar]

position = "after"
payload = '''end'''```
getting an error on this in lovely, any tips?

[worldly sapphire]

this is generating this crash how do i fix this?

function SMODS.Jokers.j_cheesecake.loc_def(card)
                return {card.ability.extra.every + 1, card.ability.extra.chip_mod, localize{type = 'variable', key = (card.ability.loyalty_remaining == 0 and 'loyalty_active' or 'loyalty_inactive'), vars = {card.ability.loyalty_remaining}}}
            end```

WHY ITS TRYING TO CONCATENATE A NIL VALUE

[wintry solar]

one of your values doesn't exist

[worldly sapphire]

like

its all correctly set

but its giving this error

:/

Man i love when "after ERROR hands played this joker gives +ERROR chips. ERROR"

who said we needed animations?

[worldly sapphire]

this is the only part of the loc_def that crashes the game when i hover the joker

[remote coral]

why is its back two lines on a graph

[mellow sable]

#1219749193204371456 message

[zealous glen]

Instead of a Blind, you get a volume slider

The UI object holding your number of hands is replaced with a single square particle that immediately vanishes out of existence

When you check the list of hands for this run, it has been replaced with the sound gong

[worldly sapphire]

so what its trying to concatenate a nil value?

[zealous glen]

concatenating is putting things side by side

In this context it means concatenating strings

which is text

except one of the values isn't a string, it's nil, so the operation fails

either the localize call is going wrong, or what the return value is used for

[worldly sapphire]

its the loc_def

it just doesn't work

the chips and the every works fine

but the message saying how many hands are left doesn't feel right

[zealous glen]

Again

either the localize call is wrong or what the return value is used for

You could test it by temporarily remplacing the localize call with something else

[worldly sapphire]

it worked

but it says only Active!

bruh

[austere schooner]

so, q: if you wanted to duplicate and modify an existing joker, is there a better way of doing that than "copying the code for it out the original game and modifying it from there", especially if it does something that isn't just chips/mult/xmult

[worldly sapphire]

looks like the issue is the localize

[worldly sapphire]

when its removed and i left only this its stays like this

card.ability.extra.chip_mod, card.ability.loyalty_remaining == 0 and 'loyalty_active' or 'loyalty_inactive'```

[zealous glen]

well, unless you defined an ability.loyalty_remaining that doesn't exist, s card.ability.loyalty_remaining == 0 is always false

[worldly sapphire]

so do i actually need to put a context or a name change in the config?

[wintry solar]

that looks like it's working to me?

[zealous glen]

Contexts are only relevant when calculating Jokers

[worldly sapphire]

i tried everything

i changed the remaining in the config to loyalty_remaining and it does not work

[wintry solar]

have you added it to the localize tables properly?

[worldly sapphire]

its the same as the loyalty card

i just changed the self's to card

[zealous glen]

see

[worldly sapphire]

and the xmult

its set to card

[zealous glen]

But does the card's ability have loyalty_remaining?

It won't have it unless you defined it

[worldly sapphire]

i'm starting to get coo coo crazy

[zealous glen]

So, due to inconsistent nomeclature you can imagine that the config and the ability are the same thing

[worldly sapphire]

idk man, 'im just confused

:(

[zealous glen]

But you can see that this is config.extra.loyalty_remaining and not config.loyalty_remaining

So you have two options:

1. Define config.loyalty_remaining;
2. Replace ability.loyalty_remaining with ability.extra.loyalty_remaining.

[worldly sapphire]

how do i define it? 😔

[wintry solar]

do option 2

[wintry solar]

in this

[worldly sapphire]

i already tested it

i did put the card.ability.extra.loyalty_remaining

it still crashes

😔

[zealous glen]

What's the crash message

[zealous glen]

did you put localize back in

[worldly sapphire]

where?

[zealous glen]

where it was before you removed it to test

[worldly sapphire]

i did, but when i remove it i get this

[zealous glen]

Because you hadn't done

[zealous glen]

this

[worldly sapphire]

here is the code rn

function SMODS.Jokers.j_cheesecake.loc_def(card)
                return {card.ability.extra.every, card.ability.extra.chip_mod, localize{type='variable',key = card.ability.extra.loyalty_remaining == 0 and 'loyalty_active' or 'loyalty_inactive', vars = {card.ability.loyalty_remaining}}}
            end```

[zealous glen]

localize is used so the game can display text in multiple languages. If you don't care about that, you can usually get away with just writing text

[wintry solar]

here

you need extra

[zealous glen]

just remove the localize again

or that

that probably works?

[wintry solar]

because card.ability.loyalty_remaining is still nil and you're using it as the variable

[worldly sapphire]

still crashes i already tested

when i fully remove the localize it works

but it shows the remaining_active and remaining_inactive

the literal words

btw

is there a way to atleast track how many hands it needs, to appear in the custom message?

[mellow sable]

does anyone know how to modify G.E_MANAGER so it can process multiple events in one frame?

[scenic zenith]

does anyone know how i can save custom game data

to the save file

cause im pretty sure the game does not save my deck config

[zealous glen]

What are you trying to save?

[scenic zenith]

highest ante reached

[zealous glen]

Doesn't it?

[scenic zenith]

basically my deck does something if you reach a new highest ante

[zealous glen]

Hmm… I think if you save to G.GAME it should work

Lemme see

[scenic zenith]

i saved that in config

and it just resets to 1 everytime

[edgy reef]

engine/events iirc has EventManager logic

[zealous glen]

I mean it works for my Joker

[scenic zenith]

yea i think decks just do not care about config

cause every single deck effect is static

[edgy reef]

I haven't looked into it so I have no clue wtf anything in that file does but if you need to edit E_MANAGER logic it's probably through there.

[scenic zenith]

trying to save it in GAME rn

[zealous glen]

Oh that's what I said

[scenic zenith]

it sounds logical but just thought i'd ask if there's a smarter solution

(also i haven't had it work yet)

[zealous glen]

I did this

[scenic zenith]

oo i think that finally made it work

[mellow sable]

I made it EVEN FASTER

I should again ship this as a separate mod for competitive players

[frosty dock]

i could use this

ectoplasm is very much balanced

[wintry solar]

they all work!

[rough furnace]

True. Also should make a toggle for it so you can turn it on and off on the fly

[worldly sapphire]

is it possible to create a joker that copies a random joker ability?

[mellow sable]

i just found the most cursed line of code in Balatro (this is for Yorick calc)

[frosty dock]

fuck no...

certified thunk moment

[wintry solar]

I dunno, this is a pretty cursed way to handle edition calculation

[maiden veldt]

does anyone know where the code that makes the plasma deck purple scoring is?

[edgy reef]

yay

Although I did forgor to remove soul_pos

But I have loc_vars for Disenhancements now

[long gust]

why did you make a worse glass card

[edgy reef]

Because it's supposed to be bad

You no want on card

[long gust]

oh it's a disenhancement. is this just to nerf standard packs

[edgy reef]

They don't spawn from anything yet

Haven't made that part xdd

Also why tf will this not patch

I used the wrong slash LMAO

ok finally it does

[pure shore]

All the stuff you've been doing with editions is super cool, its inspired me to work on some shaders

[wintry solar]

that's cool, if you need to test them in game send them my way in DM or I can send you a playground mod to try them out

[worldly sapphire]

is there a way i can make a card name be the same color as the polychrome badge?

[pure shore]

thanks!! For now I've just replaced the shader on foil so I can see the changes in game

[mellow sable]

{C:edition} or {C:dark_edition} in the name

[worldly sapphire]

it worked

ty

[mellow sable]

yw

[maiden veldt]

relating to that, where do the C:example functions draw their colours (or function like dark_edition) from?

[mellow sable]

there’s a function that maps those to colors

[maiden veldt]

where can i find that?

[mellow sable]

misc_functions.lua

[maiden veldt]

thanks

i checked in misc_funcitons.lua, but dark_edition only links to G.C.DARK_EDITION, and the value for that in globals.lua only has {0,0,0,1} as its value. where is the code that controls the colour cycle?

[mellow sable]

i think it’s in Game:update iirc?

[maiden veldt]

self.C.DARK_EDITION[3] = 0.6+0.2*(1- math.sin(self.TIMERS.REAL*1.3))
self.C.DARK_EDITION[2] = math.min(self.C.DARK_EDITION[3], self.C.DARK_EDITION[1])```
this?

[worldly sapphire]

i love this color effect frfr

[maiden veldt]

how would i change these values in my code?

[wild gyro]

the x3 should probably be white

[worldly sapphire]

i tried

it doesn't work if i put a normal color in the X:mult space

like X:blue or X:red

but if i put X:mult it will appear a second X in the X3 mult space

[random sleet]

{X:red,C:white} X#1# {}

[worldly sapphire]

not working

the color of the letter will stay black

[quaint topaz]

hey, i have a simple question. I make youtube videos, and i want to make a simple balatro mod that just changes what the talking joker says, would anyone have any idea how to do that?

actually; i can just use debug mode

nevermind

[zealous glen]

Don’t write a space

[mellow crag]

I have a stupid idea, that might actually work

What if we added more than just cards to a collection

Like, added info about specific things

Or changed the layout of the collection

Idk

[random sleet]

what

[remote coral]

Cards, consumables, vouchers?

Or smth entirely different like whole mechanics, like seals and enhancements

[random sleet]

what else would be in a collection but cards

[mellow crag]

Yessss

[shell timber]

balatro: legacy

[wintry solar]

Is this so you can categorise collections by where they’re from instead of it all being together?

So you could see everything a mod adds in one place?

[royal ridge]

can you use loc_vars to dynamically change the name/description/infoboxes of a joker's local loc_txt?

based on conditional statements and such

[mellow crag]

[frosty dock]

yes, you can even use a completely different description text by including a key field in the return table

[zealous glen]

I’ll make placeholder art for them eventually

[royal ether]

i think the issue w/ using collection for stuff is that it pulls from g center pools

unless ur making a new page

i guess thats what you mean actually

this is a #⚙・modding-general question, ill answer it there 👍

[leaden siren]

how would I go about setting a deck to only use the "checkered" suits? hearts/spades only

I'm trying to change a modded deck (all 8s), it already iterates through all the cards for its normal effect but I was wondering how to approach this with the suit change as well (not used to lua, appreciate any help)

also this isn't for a release it's just for me to test some other stuff

[frosty dock]

check out how checkered deck itself does it - you can simply extract the game executable with 7-zip

[leaden siren]

thank you I didn't know about this yet

[frosty dock]

np

[pseudo kindle]

not sure if this is the right place to just share ideas for mods but im trying to learn pixel art and made this with the idea that it's a rare consumable that randomly shows up in tarot / spectral packs (same idea as black hole / soul rarity), and the functionality is that it combines two COMPATIBLE jokers into one slot to free up space / combine joker effects into one joker. Obviously you have ectoplasm already to make more room for jokers but the rarity of this consumable would justify not adding the hand size penalty and im sure you could get some cool effects by mashing the sprites of 2 jokers together

[crisp coral]

this is the channel for actually developing mods sorry

[worldly sapphire]

is there a way i can make a joker always be in a edition?

[night pagoda]

yeah, by injecting in create_card

[pseudo kindle]

seemed like the other modding chat is for discussing / troubleshooting mods that already exist so that didnt seem like the best place to put it either, my b

[worldly sapphire]

i mean, its always in that edition even in the menu.

like, when it spawns or appears its always polychrome

[mellow crag]

You could probably inject into set_ability or something

[worldly sapphire]

how tho? i don't know how to do this sorry

[wintry solar]

Wouldn’t injecting into create_card and calling set_edition if a certain name work?

[worldly sapphire]

i'm trying to make a joker that creates a random polychrome card. is it possible?

[mellow sable]

Yes

A joker in my mod has a relatively similar effect (creating a specific negative card)

[worldly sapphire]

hmmm

[wintry solar]

what code have you got so far?

[worldly sapphire]

nothing :(

i tried using the marble joker as base, but the game just crashes

[wintry solar]

I'd really recommend learning what your crash logs mean

[zealous glen]

There’s a mod that adds fusion jokers

[zealous glen]

@mellow crag Steamodded already has a set_ability hook, just check the Steamodded wiki on GitHub

The example they give is exactly how to make a Joker always have an edition

[mellow crag]

o really? XD

i didn't know that

[zealous glen]

This is the second time in two days that someone doesn’t know Steamodded has had a set_ability hook since 0.9.8

Also I’d like to correct myself: at least at the moment the example in the wiki isn’t about setting one’s own edition, though that isn’t difficult

I think it must’ve been a tutorial I followed that had it as an example

Either myst’s or the other tutorial

[worldly sapphire]

uhm, i'm still confused

my bad

[zealous glen]

Use the set_ability hook as exemplified in the Wiki for 0.9.8 but instead of whatever it is doing call set_edition inside

Search the game’s code for the definition of set_edition to learn how to use it

[zealous glen]

The wiki currently has information about the 1.0 alpha release, but you can find the relevant information in “Creating new game objects”

[worldly sapphire]

well i did it

lol

[mellow sable]

one thing that is funny, i got the hang of this because of perkeo's negative code

But I thought it was coringa

[worldly sapphire]

coringa is the name of The Joker from DC comics here

Curinga is the name used in baralhos

[zealous glen]

Apparently some dictionaries classify them as different words; my guess is that people use them interchangeably hence in contemporaneity they’re synonyms

clearly this should just be center:set_ability(self, initial, delay_sprites)

[worldly sapphire]

can i make a joker spawn cards but with a loyalty card counter?

nvm

idea scrapped

[worldly sapphire]

well, final product is done

[hallow forge]

do you mean playing cards?

[worldly sapphire]

yes

i forgor

let me just fix it rq

fixed

[zealous glen]

I think you can just say “cards”

[worldly sapphire]

i think it looks better like this

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/04.-SMODS.Center#api-methods

why am i so inconsistent with arguments 💀

[wintry solar]

where can I see examples of using load?

[maiden phoenix]

NFS.load?

[zealous glen]

You can also use require instead of NFS.load

[wintry solar]

no not like that, like jokers saving and loading their internal variables between game closures

how does the source code handle that

[zealous glen]

It handles it automatically currently but otherwise I don’t have much to say besides “read the code” :<

I think it saves and loads recursively but also that it creates new card objects whenever it loads

So references to specific cards are lost

[maiden veldt]

how would i change the values for the self.C.DARK_EDITION functions in game.lua? would i use the take_ownership function with a specific tag? or is it simpler than that?

[zealous glen]

I wouldn’t change it but create a new one

Unless you’re just making a mod that changes colors and textures

[maiden veldt]

yeah just simple changes like that

[zealous glen]

In which case you could probably just hook or overwrite it directly

[maiden veldt]

how would i do that? i'm not familiar with this section and how to call for it

[zealous glen]

I don’t know what’s the best way to do it, but you can overwrite any variable by assigning something new to it

self.C.DARK_EDITION = “Hello, world!”
``` would overwrite it with the string “Hello, world!”, breaking a lot of things in the process

Well, that syntax is probably incorrect unless it’s in the appropriate place

I imagine self is either G or G.GAME

[frosty dock]

self is always G in Game functions

G.GAME does not have a class associated with it

[zealous glen]

But that G is different from the global scope G right?

[frosty dock]

no

[zealous glen]

hmmm

[frosty dock]

Game:init() literally has G = self

[maiden veldt]

when i use G.C.DARK_EDITION[1] and change the variable to something like 0, nothing in-game changes. i feel like the game isn't reading it properly

[frosty dock]

there is never a game instance that isn't G, and it would break things if there was

[zealous glen]

But is that overriding the global scope variable? I can’t tell if G is Lua syntax for the global scope, albeit unprotected, or if it’s just a common example

[frosty dock]

the global scope is _G iirc

[mellow sable]

It updates every frame

[zealous glen]

Are you changing the function that sets it or just changing the variable?

[mellow sable]

That’s why

[frosty dock]

G is just a global var

[zealous glen]

If you don’t change the function then it’ll be overridden when updated in the next frame

[maiden veldt]

oh i see

[zealous glen]

I thought it was G but I could be wrong

[frosty dock]

no it's _G

just checked

oh what that's cursed

_G._G is the same thing as _G

[zealous glen]

That’s not so cursed

[maiden veldt]

i changed the function to G.C.DARK_EDITION[1] = 0.6+0.9*math.sin(G.TIMERS.REAL*5.0) which is very different from the original, but it's still showing the same colour cycle

[frosty dock]

brb putting _G._G._G._G._G._G._G._G._G.G somewhere in mod code

[zealous glen]

What’s your code

[mellow sable]

Make it a lovely patch

[maiden veldt]

only showing what's important

function SMODS.INIT.Colors()
    
    local greyscale_mod = SMODS.findModByID("GreyscaleTextures")
    
    G.C.DARK_EDITION[1] = 0.6+0.9*math.sin(G.TIMERS.REAL*5.0)
    G.C.DARK_EDITION[3] = 0.6+0.6*(1- math.sin(G.TIMERS.REAL*5.0))
    G.C.DARK_EDITION[2] = math.min(G.C.DARK_EDITION[3], G.C.DARK_EDITION[1])```

[maiden veldt]

how would i do that

[zealous glen]

I mean I imagine it shouldn’t be necessary to make it a patch

[zealous glen]

You didn’t write a function

So you didn’t fix your problem

It’s still being overridden each frame

[frosty dock]

doing it in init changes something for all of one frame

[zealous glen]

You need to find the function that sets it each frame and change that, or if it happens to be stored coordinate-wise here, write it correctly

[maiden veldt]

i'm not very familiar with lua, i'm learning just by looking at other people's code, sorry

[mellow sable]

Do it as an addendum to Game:update

[frosty dock]

that function is Game:update()

[zealous glen]

a function definition will look something like

function(vars)
    foo(vars)
end

[frosty dock]

one way you can do this is with a lovely patch, but that seems unnecessary here

basically you can modify a function like this

[zealous glen]

What you have is just a function call, so it’s executed exactly once then overridden

[frosty dock]

local update_ref = Game.update
function Game:update(dt)
  update_ref(self, dt) -- call the original first
  self.C.DARK_EDITION[1] = ...
  -- ...
end

[zealous glen]

Which can be defined outside of INIT

[frosty dock]

classic case of 'it doesn't matter'

[zealous glen]

But there’s no INIT in 1.0

So it’s forward compatible

[mellow sable]

update_ref(self,dt)

[frosty dock]

oops

me tired

[zealous glen]

Anyways, this is a hook. You first save a reference to the original function, then you override it, but you call the original somewhere inside to make sure other people’s code still works

Whenever you want to make a change that can go before or after an existing function you can use a hook, otherwise use a patch

[maiden veldt]

yeah, i managed to get it to work in the end. it also makes more sense with how the game works. thanks, you three 👍

[worldly sapphire]

i'm still trying to figure out why this upgrades but doesn't give the chips after

SMODS.Jokers.j_lea.calculate = function(self, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.jokers then
    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
        if self.ability.extra.chip_mod > 100 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
end
end```

[hushed estuary]

do these look good?

[hallow forge]

yeah excluding perish

what do they do

[hushed estuary]

uhh

stickers

idk why anyone would wan to make a joker rental

or perishable

but that's why they're bad ideas

[random sleet]

if the rental one like applied to your next shop maybe

like "all jokers in next shop are rental"

[oblique gust]

i just saw this in cheesyjokers

        local function edit_scoring_hand(event, line)
            if line == 603 and debug.getinfo(2, 'S').short_src == 'functions/state_events.lua' then
                local n, v = debug.getlocal(2, 5)
                (truncated)
                debug.setlocal(2, 5, v)
            elseif line == 778 and debug.getinfo(2, 'S').short_src == 'functions/state_events.lua' then
                local n, old_scoring_hand = debug.getlocal(2, 5)
                (truncated)
                debug.setlocal(2, 5, new_scoring_hand)
            end
        end
        (truncated)

im kinda afraid itd f things up with lovely

yea nothing much. that joker just wont work

[crisp coral]

yeah that absolutely doesn't work

[worthy depot]

[random sleet]

cheese mentioned it before and was advised to just use lovely instead

[oblique gust]

yeah ill just stop using it for now before the migration. and it breaks reverie too for some reasons

[royal ether]

mfw the final product uses debug library

:programming:

[random sleet]

[random sleet]

tasty

[mellow crag]

wooooo using 10 of these can give you a naneinf XD

[mellow sable]

who needs X-Chip when we can have ^-Mult

[random sleet]

^-^mult

[unreal nacelle]

Expo-Mult

[mellow crag]

naneinf was never as easy

[mellow crag]

yup

also expo-chips

[random sleet]

nannyinf

[wild gyro]

i get what you're saying here but also i cant see anything but ^-^

[random sleet]

that is the point

[wild gyro]

ah

[unreal nacelle]

Albiet, how does that work? I'm trying to remember how exponents exactly work in this case

[wild gyro]

thought the dash represented an actual number or smth

[random sleet]

nuh

[mellow crag]

mult/chips ^ the value

or you didn't mean the expo mult/chips

[unreal nacelle]

So, in this case, if the ending Mult was 100, it'd be 100 ^ 2, which is 10,000?

[mellow crag]

yes

[unreal nacelle]

Oh, that is a REALLY fast scaling effect, and I love it for the chaos factor of it.

[mellow crag]

it's an API

so you would be able to add your own emult and echip jokers

[unreal nacelle]

Oh, nice!

[random sleet]

feder will there be -Blind

[mellow crag]

For blind goal?

[random sleet]

and/or %Blind

yeah

:)

[mellow crag]

Sure

[random sleet]

a unified way to reduce blind req

[mellow crag]

I can do that

[random sleet]

so maybe if stuff can trigger off/otherwise affect blind reduction

like a joker that doubles all blind reduction effects

thatd be slick

idk just thinkin aloud

[proud cypress]

Hey everyone! I'm new here and I'm trying to make some mods 😁
Any suggestions on where to look for on how to extend UI?

[random sleet]

good luck

nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].

[proud cypress]

looks about right

[hushed estuary]

how do i add tooltips

[random sleet]

depends on what you're adding them to

[hushed estuary]

i need one on a consumable

[mellow crag]

Currently the plan for this api thing is:

X chips
Held x chips
Expo (^) mult
Held expo (^) mult
Expo (^) chips
Held expo (^) chips
X gold
Held x gold

Might also do:
Blind%

[random sleet]

Blind% and -Blind? :)))))))))))

[mellow crag]

Blind% will also enable -%

I mean, that’s what it will do probably

It says %, but it cuts a percentage from the blind size

[random sleet]

no i mean like

flat blind reduction

[mellow crag]

Oh I see

Yeah that’s possible

[hushed estuary]

how do i add a tooltip to a center

[random sleet]

first you must create a universe

but that's a lot of work so just use the one we have

secondly, loc_def is passed info_queue as the second parameter

or loc_vars if youre on 1.0

info_queue handles tooltips

just put centers in there or check how vanilla stuff handles info_queue for special stuff

[shell timber]

^ Gold when

[mellow crag]

You want expo gold?

I can grant you expo gold

[shell timber]

i don't really care

[random sleet]

this is gonna be so ridiculous lmao

[zealous glen]

I made some code that animates the Blind size change while inside the Blind (like the Hand and Discard ones), if you’re interested

I haven’t done it for the Blind screen (where you either play or skip) but I imagine it’s possible

[mellow crag]

I have something for that already for codex

[mellow crag]

Oh I don’t talk about these as well

[zealous glen]

Hmmm… although mine is in an event so technically it can fire before the UI exists. I put a lot of delay on it but Idk a smart way of circumventing it (as in, waiting until the UI exists)

[mellow crag]

Send it to me anyways, I will see how you did it and compile the best option

[zealous glen]

Here's what it looks like

and here's the code

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.8, func = function()
            local new_chips = math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips * self.ability.extra.difficulty)
            local mod_text = number_format(math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips * self.ability.extra.difficulty) - G.GAME.blind.chips)
            G.GAME.blind.chips = new_chips
            G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)
            
            local chips_UI = G.hand_text_area.blind_chips
            G.FUNCS.blind_chip_UI_scale(G.hand_text_area.blind_chips)
            G.HUD_blind:recalculate() 

            attention_text({
                text = '+'..mod_text,
                scale = 0.8, 
                hold = 0.7,
                cover = chips_UI.parent,
                cover_colour = G.C.RED,
                align = 'cm',
            })

            chips_UI:juice_up()

            play_sound('chips2')
            return true end
        }))

For reference, ```lua
self.ability.extra.difficulty = 1.5

[zealous glen]

I think a way to circumvent it is to create one of those events that apply constantly (like DNA pulsing) but make it exist while the UI doesn't exist, then when it dies it creates the event that changes the Blind UI

[proud cypress]

is this alright? I didn't find any later versions

[maiden phoenix]

You have to download steamodded's code zip instead of the release

[proud cypress]

alright thanks

[maiden phoenix]

Dont forget to update lovely too

[proud cypress]

Also the zip or whats in releases?

[frosty dock]

for lovely, you want the latest release 0.5.0-beta5

[proud cypress]

Cool got it working, thanks again!

I was trying to download through git

[worldly sapphire]

One of my jokers that always spawns as a Polychrome crashes my game when it spawns lol

Is there a way to fix this?

[wintry solar]

Why does it crash?

[worldly sapphire]

Let me send the crash message

Idk why is this happening

[wintry solar]

You need to read the rest of the error trace

It’ll tell you where in your code it’s struggling

[worldly sapphire]

I'm not home tho

[wintry solar]

Well we’re going to struggle to fix that then

[worldly sapphire]

When i get home i will try to fix it

[wintry solar]

But you’re not assigning an edition properly somewhere

[worldly sapphire]

In my pc

Atleast now i know it crashes when it spawns

[worldly sapphire]

My set_ability in the joker is like this

card:set_edition({polychrome = true}, true)```

[mellow sable]

you're missing a quotation mark

[worldly sapphire]

Oops writing issue

Im not in my pc rn

Oh, it doesn't have quotations

[mellow sable]

I don't think you need the quotes actually

card:set_edition({
  negative = true
})

This is how I have it set up in my code

[worldly sapphire]

Its like this

But its polychrome, and idk if that additional true adds something?

[worldly sapphire]

Can you test something real quick, i think that additional true that is in my code is crashing my game

Can you try testing if its the additional true

Bc im not home rn

And i can't do it myself rn

[wintry solar]

The additional true makes it silent or immediate

I don’t remember the order but it won’t affect it

So I guess that the card you’re checking and the card you set the edition of are different

[zealous glen]

If there’s event shenanigans the lack of immediacy (or its presence) could cause a crash

[frosty dock]

i should start adding indicators like this to alpha versions

[mellow sable]

please do

[mellow sable]

are there any other Steamodded 1.0 ported mods besides Cryptid, SDM_0 dev branch and MystBlinds? Want to test the interactions with multiple mods loaded

[frosty dock]

I should release a port of SixSuits, I've basically done half of the porting already for testing things

[maiden phoenix]

My mod isn't updated to the latest Steamodded changes, I heard some parameters got changed somewhere, will try to pull something quick

[mellow sable]

#1219749193204371456 message
here is the list of changes

[maiden phoenix]

Oh I didn't know center objects had added_to_deck and removed_from_deck too that's cool

[maiden phoenix]

Alright pushed something quick to make it compatible with the latest SMODS build, should be good to go (tho I left some sendDebugMessages)

[worldly sapphire]

the crash related to my joker rn

he is always polychrome, but when it spawns the game crashes

[crisp coral]

in shop?

[worldly sapphire]

shop, or even spawned by soul

the joker is a legendary btw

but when it spawns he crashes the game :)

His set_ability

function SMODS.Jokers.j_polychromereactor.set_ability(card, initial, delay_sprites)
                card:set_edition({polychrome = true})
            end```

[crisp coral]

yeah it happens with those two spawnings

it's because of the set_edition in set_ability

[worldly sapphire]

where do i put it then?

[crisp coral]

i! have no idea

bobm only works because it cannot spawn from the shop

[worldly sapphire]

:/

[austere schooner]

if i wanted to rig up a really jank mod that just prints an internal game variable to the screen, is there something as simple as an update loop for steamodded or do i need to hook onto something else

[crisp coral]

you'll need to hook onto the game's update loop i'm pretty sure

[mellow sable]

you might be able to override poll_edition to always return polychrome for your card

[crisp coral]

poll_edition wouldn't work if you directly spawn the card tho

[worldly sapphire]

if i spawn the card with a debug menu it works fine

but when it spawns in a shop, pack or sould the game crashes

[fallen tendon]

Does anybody just have a list of every context used in balatro and what it does?

[night pagoda]

tried my hand at shaders - fluorescent edition, I think I want more colors than just radioactive green

[remote coral]

Where are those fallout Jokers?

[wintry solar]

Oooo I love that shader

It’s so greeeeeeen

💚

[frosty dock]

🤔

[mellow crag]

I am almost back from work

What are you guys up to

[mellow crag]

Ooh settings?

[frosty dock]

in this case, no

there's still only hiding mod badges there

[mellow crag]

Oh I see

I wonder what other settings you could add?

Maybe if steamodded ever adds base game features, you could toggle them there

Btw @frosty dock I wonder, how can you place UI objects in the mod menu?

[mellow sable]

lmk if custom hands crash with talisman

[frosty dock]

I haven't really touched that system, I know there's a function that lets you do it though

[mellow crag]

Interesting. I will look into that. I wanna try and do some fun stuff with that menu

[frosty dock]

no issues here

[mellow crag]

I see that spectrum XD

[scenic zenith]

Hey, I'd like to make it so a card changes it's name/description at some point
How would I do this?

I was assuming i an use loc_vars "key" return and just like adding my own loc_txt into the game using

SMODS.process_loc_text(G.localization.descriptions[self.set], changed_key, loc_txt2)
return {key = card.ability.extra.broken and changed_key or card.config.center.key, ...}

this errors out somewhere in localize

oh this doesn't parse it

[mellow sable]

decided to supercharge Brainstorm

[frosty dock]

move the process_loc_text call to the process_loc_text function of that object

[scenic zenith]

will try

hmm

it doesn't work

here's what im trying

it does this ingame

[zealous glen]

why is that 7 of Spades Eternal for one frame

[scenic zenith]

prob pressed the debug button for make eternal on accident

[frosty dock]

hm what is ominousmirror defined as here?

[scenic zenith]

its the joker

[zealous glen]

I figured out why this wasn't working. I wasn't giving the folder to the lovely patch

because I didn't know I had to give the folder

[mellow sable]

idk

[frosty dock]

try putting the function directly in the SMODS.Joker constructor

oh wait

no, the object is just wrong

[zealous glen]

I also made a new color (based on @golden lake's code)

[frosty dock]

remove the loc_txt = {} layer of nesting

[zealous glen]

The effect was inspired by a Reddit post. I'm trying to contact the person who made it but I implemented it for now because I already had had ideas that would require the same backend as this anyways

[scenic zenith]

oh oops

that's what i get for copy pasting

[frosty dock]

this would only work if the selected locale is loc_txt

[scenic zenith]

ok it stil ldoesn't work but the description is no longer broken

[frosty dock]

that's a start

[scenic zenith]

lemme see if it changes description

ok neat

now why does it not change the name

[frosty dock]

might honestly be my fault

[scenic zenith]

does it just not use name in loc_txt

[frosty dock]

I'll see what I can do

[scenic zenith]

would be hype

we kinda thought of quite a few cards that change name

[zealous glen]

Worst-case you can manually change the tooltip

[frosty dock]

hm that makes sense, names happen in a different spot than descriptions do

shouldn't be too bad to fix

[zealous glen]

I mean you can also manually change the description

[frosty dock]

yeah sure but that's boring

it's meant to be supported

[zealous glen]

Then why am I doing it manually 🤔

[proud cypress]

any suggestions on where to hook into the event that gets fired when you add a joker to your run?

[frosty dock]

Card:add_to_deck()?

[proud cypress]

👌🏽 thanks

this works, but how do I access the card info?

[frosty dock]

the original function is Card:add_to_deck, meaning there's an implicit first argument self

it's just syntactic sugar, but it makes quite the difference

[proud cypress]

it doesnt let me access self

does it ned to be a part of the signature?

[scenic zenith]

[redacted]

oh wait no self shoul be center

im confusing myself cause it is broke but it's prob just me

oh im dumb

im confusing the class center with like some sprite called center

[scenic zenith]

yea

either make the function with a : which adds self automatically

or write self as the first argument

[proud cypress]

so I get this log on console

but it still crashes

[scenic zenith]

awww

the load function of jokers is called at like the start of it

meaning all the stuff hasn't been set and it'll change ability

@frosty dock any chance that can be moved to the very end of it

i feel like making sure the sprite of a card is correct is not a stupid idea for using load() in joker right
