come mod slice and dice with me arachnei

[fast badge]

"come mod, slice and dice arachnei with me"

[nocturne garnet]

which one of these values correspond to the chip count

[crisp coral]

hand_chips i believe

[nocturne garnet]

wharg.....

either talisman changed something or i just did something wrong

[maiden phoenix]

What if you just do "chips = chips" ?

[nocturne garnet]

whar

[maiden phoenix]

I remember having to refer to chips for a joker I made

[nocturne garnet]

which one

hmm

what is args referring to here

[maiden phoenix]

The parameter from trigger_effect

[maiden phoenix]

La Révolution iirc

[nocturne garnet]

yes but what is args

what is used to trigger it

[maiden phoenix]

Just look at what trigger_effects functions calls elsewhere

[zealous glen]

Search for “final_scoring_step”

It only appears twice and you’re looking at one appearance

[nocturne garnet]

then?

[zealous glen]

Then you read

[nocturne garnet]

what im looking for is to know what i can do to find out what to use to get args.chips

and it isnt G.GAME.chips, thats score

[zealous glen]

And I’m telling you’ll find what args is by searching “final_scoring_step”

[nocturne garnet]

oh my god

what is hand_chips

and why cant i use it

i keep seeing it

[wintry solar]

It’s in the evaluate_play function

It’s what it refers to as the number of chips scored in the hand

Just a local variable iirc

[elfin nimbus]

Not sure if this can be done, but is there a way to make it so that a Joker always triggers after another Joker regardless of position, if they both have to trigger in context.before?

Like, say I wanted a Joker to trigger after DNA triggers, regardless of position, but before any scoring Jokers. Is there a way to do that?

[bold osprey]

Could there be a problem if a Mod ID or a Mod Name is too long with Steamodded ?

[frosty dock]

not that I could think of one except text not fitting in the boxes in the mod menu

names in mod badges are cut off, so no visual issues there

can't think of any non-visual issues, anyway

[frosty dock]

👀

[edgy reef]

What's being cooked?

[mellow sable]

👀

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/issues/115

[edgy reef]

oooh, how would this work?

[frosty dock]

no "would"

i just implemented this

[edgy reef]

So it looks for a localization file and loads it into G.localization?

[frosty dock]

it looks for a file in Mods/your_mod/localization/ (either the current language, or default.lua or en-us.lua)

and it loads non-destructively into G.localization (fun fact, this code worked first try)

[stray warren]

How do you deal with two function hooks conflicting with each other? Is there a way to prevent one overwriting the other, or force one to load last?

[frosty dock]

there should be no conflicts if you call the original inside your hook

just make sure the reference to your original function isn't global / reused

[stray warren]

This is the correct way to do it, right? At least that's what i've seen done before.

[frosty dock]

yeah looks right

[stray warren]

and then I return the table_val variable at the end

[frosty dock]

so what's the issue?

[stray warren]

Well some of the jokers in the PampaJokers pack use this same hook, and from my testing, the jokers that use the hook overwrite my hook, and the ones that don't use the hook, don't overwrite my hook

I guess this would apply to any modded joker that used that hook

[frosty dock]

does PampaJokers override this function destructively?

[stray warren]

I'm not quite sure what defines that, but this is the beginning and end of their function:

local generate_UIBox_ability_tableref = Card.generate_UIBox_ability_table
function Card.generate_UIBox_ability_table(self)

and end:

 return generate_UIBox_ability_tableref(self)
end

It seems like they do the same thing

[frosty dock]

I've forgotten how terrible not using lovely for these functions is

it should be fine so long as your mod loads last

given you always use the return value

add this at the bottom of your mod header

--- PRIORITY: 100

[stray warren]

That seems to have worked! Thank you!

[frosty dock]

np

[stray warren]

So I've been using self.area == G.I.CARDAREA[7] to access the shop cardarea. Is there an actual name for this? Like the others are G.jokers and G.pack_cards

[stone fossil]

i cant for the life of me find where the descriptions for the jokers in the source code are. want to look at how i can use the formatting

[stray warren]

Under localization, all the different languages are in there.

[stone fossil]

thank you so much

[icy drift]

Me making a joker go "Nope" using card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_nope_ex')}) (Don't mind the weirdly sized border, windows capture is being weird)

[nocturne garnet]

i still don't know how to use it 😔

i am not a very smart person

how do you get and use hand_chips

its not there by default, and i cant find how to get it

[wintry solar]

where are you trying to use it?

[nocturne garnet]

its supposed to happen whenever a face card is scored

im assuming i cant use hand_chips on every context huh

damnit

[wintry solar]

hand_chips is in the evaluate_play stack

you can't access it from anywhere else

what are you trying to do to it?

[nocturne garnet]

i just wanted to use it in a calculation

just a X1.2 chip mult whenever a face card is triggered

[maiden phoenix]

You tried "chips" ?

Oh I checked my code and I actually use hand_chips in a context.after

[wintry solar]

I don't think hand_chips is ever passed through apart from the deck calculation

although I also don't see where it is ever defined?

unless it's global

[zealous glen]

so much for a week of rest

[storm shale]

I had a challenge idea in which the player starts with a full deck of permanently debuffed cards. How would I go about making that show up in the starter deck?

I think I can get everything else set up except for that by looking at the challenges code and some other mods that have added challenges.

[storm shale]

I did an alternate method but the challenge is locked. How do I make it unlocked?

[crisp coral]

challenges are unlocked based on your number of completed challenges, unless you Unlock All

[surreal marsh]

you can insert your challenge at the beginning of G.CHALLENGES so it will be the first challenge and won't be locked

[storm shale]

i had 20/20 challenges completed tho?

err, 20/21*

[crisp coral]

oh

prolly a hardcoded thing shrug

[storm shale]

regardless i'm gonna have to figure out a better place to inject my change because I'm currently doing Blind:debuff_card but I think that causes that one joker that triggers when boss blind is triggered to trigger

[oblique gust]

guys how can i get the localized name of a modded joker from my mod? (load priority considered). for 0.9.8.
simply using G.localization or localize{type = 'name_text', key = xxx, set = 'Joker'} just wont work, but for vanilla jokers both works fine

[tepid crow]

hey guys, is there a good example of how tags are implemented in steamodded somewhere?

either an example in steamodded itself or a mod that does it would work
nevermind, think I found it

[tepid crow]

quick question, are you trying to get the localized name of a joker to appear somewhere else?

[oblique gust]

correct

[tepid crow]

can I ask where and why? it seems kind of counter-intuitive

the best reason I can come up is some kind of "when ... spawns joker X"

[oblique gust]

like using it as a loc var for descriptions, showing the name in another joker's infobox

if you wanna make a joker that has some co functions with another from another mod in this case its not counter intuitive at all

what keeps haunting me is that i can easily get the localized names of vanilla ones but for modded ones its not working, returning a nil, like they got discarded or sum

[tepid crow]

sorry, the reason I used the word "counter-intuitive" is because the base idea of most synergies in balatro is that they synergize on something together, not directly with each other if that makes sense

[oblique gust]

nah ur good im just explaining

[neat chasm]

I've picked up a little bit of lua, but I was advised to look in the balatro source code to figure out how the unmodded stuff works as well. I've figured out everything on that front, and I've found the code says what jokers are and what they require to be jokers, but I was wondering if someone could point me toward the info on individual jokers, as I can't find it. All good if not, I get discussing source code could be a touchy thing.

[wild gyro]

it's in card.lua, just ctrl f

[fallen tendon]

most everything you need is either in card.lua or common_events.lua

[neat chasm]

thanks!

[zealous glen]

I remember the discussion that modded Jokers should be distinguished by their keys, so maybe if you access the localization dictionary with the right key you can get the name

[spice scroll]

hey i have this joker here which gives more mult foir each 2 in the deck

and i copied the code and edited it from cloud 9

but the joker doesnt seem to update as often as cloud 9? and it doesnt use the current deck in the collection menu

anyone know whats up?

[zealous glen]

Are you sure it’s G.playing_cards?

And not G.deck?

[spice scroll]

thats how it was in cloud 9 but ill try it

yeah no playing cards was right that broke it

[hushed estuary]

There might be another calculate

Like, for a different context

Actually nevermind

[spice scroll]

maybe its cause its only calculating unde rjokerinfo.calculate? but idk

tbh its not too important because the joker works for all calculations its just a bit laggy on updating sometimes

[crisp coral]

Cloud 9's check for 9s is under update not calculate

the former updates every frame (hence you'll always see C9 displaying correctly), the latter only updates every action

[spice scroll]

ooooohhh okay thank you very much

so would i do function jokerInfo.update?

like this?

[crisp coral]

is this 1.0.0?

[spice scroll]

nope

[crisp coral]

if this is 0.9.8 then you'll need to hook onto Card.update

ah

[spice scroll]

okay yeah thats giving me the same results so, hook onto card.update?

[crisp coral]

yup

[spice scroll]

how would i do that

[oblique gust]

so G.localization.descriptions.Joker['j_modded_joker'].name wont work?

[spice scroll]

cool thank you ill try it

btw while youre here i wanted to ask

is it possible to have infoboxes on different columns

cause this onne kinda escapes the screen lol

[crisp coral]

it'd need a rewrite of the uibox likely

[spice scroll]

alright

[spice scroll]

im assuming this goes in main and not in the joker file

[crisp coral]

you can try adding your own localization of Wheel of Fortune instead

[crisp coral]

ye

[spice scroll]

and ill have to add a key to the joker manually or is that just the slug?

[crisp coral]

should be your slug, with a "j_" at the beginning

so if your slug is joker_slug, your key is j_joker_slug

[spice scroll]

it works

thank u

ill put u in the special thanks :)

[spice scroll]

ok sorry but where would i define what the #1# value is here

[edgy reef]

I don’t know exactly how the game handles the position of tooltips (probably in card_h_popup, but I didn’t investigate it much), but you can manipulate if the card test appears below or above the card in Card:align_h_popup.

[spice scroll]

i think my solution is gonna be to just define my own wheel of fortune description without the additional definitions

[edgy reef]

It’s what determines if the card info text (I.e. name and desc) is above or below the card.

[spice scroll]

i just gotta find out how to make it point to G.GAME.probabilities.normal

[oblique gust]

aight imma just go straightfoward.

mod1 and mod2 with a lower priority

in mod2

G.localization.descriptions.Joker['j_mod1_joker'].name

crashes the game saying 'j_mod1_joker' is a nil

[frosty dock]

it doesn't happen at load

if it does, it will get eaten by a loc reset

wait no, 0.9.8

screw me

it does happen at load then

you'd have to do it post-load then somehow

[oblique gust]

im more confused rn lol. like, post steamodded load?

do i have to use lovely to do it?

now it became much harder than i thought itd be

[oblique gust]

aight i got this. its SMODS.Jokers['j_modded_joker'].loc_txt.name

now its much more easier than i originally thought

[nocturne garnet]

why does it result in 60

i dunno about you but i dont think 15 * 2 is 60

[zealous glen]

But 15*4=60

[sonic mortar]

is it performing the operation twice? (15 x 2 x 2 = 60)

[frosty dock]

you're multiplying hand_chips by 2, then adding hand_chips again with the return

[sonic mortar]

what? why are you pinging me?

[frosty dock]

oops

sorry

[nocturne garnet]

wait whar....

am i??

its just a message though

[frosty dock]

Also your for loop here is flawed, you can't return more than once

[nocturne garnet]

yeah i knew that would probably happen

[frosty dock]

no

it also modifies hand_chips

[nocturne garnet]

OH.

i did not know

[wintry solar]

Just make a local variable for your chips and return that outside of the for loop

[nocturne garnet]

#1248287850512781452 i finally fixed it oml

[wooden nexus]

Why is your layout so jank?

[nocturne garnet]

why is what what

[wooden nexus]

your video

[nocturne garnet]

oh

[maiden phoenix]

OBS moment

[nocturne garnet]

resolution or something i dunno

i just use this things recorder

[wooden nexus]

Don't use that lol

[nocturne garnet]

why not

[wooden nexus]

Because you can't fix the problem that way

use OBS

much better for ya

[shell tangle]

Is there something wrong with this grammar? Still a tad unfamiliar with lua, so, might be obvious somehow, but this is throwing an error saying that the bracket doesn't get closed.

  SMODS.current_mod.process_loc_text{
    G.localization.misc.dictionary.b_play_cap = "START"
    }
end```

[crisp coral]

that's not how you use process_loc_text

your function would be

function SMODS.current_mod.process_loc_text()
    SMODS.process_loc_text(G.localization.misc.dictionary, "b_play_cap", "START")
end

[shell tangle]

Completely different than I expected. I'll compare it with the source code and see which parts are connected, hopefully figure it out myself, but, might end up coming back for clarification. Thanks.

[maiden phoenix]

should specify "card"

[nocturne garnet]

arghhh what did i do wrong this time

[maiden phoenix]

When you iterate over the jokers, the sold one becomes nil

I think

[crisp coral]

self.ability.name should be card.ability.name

[maiden phoenix]

That too

[native gorge]

hey ! you probably got this question a thousand times but, i would like to create balatro mods, is there some tutorials somewhere please ?

[frosty dock]

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

other useful resources include code of other mods as well as Balatro's source code, which you can view by extracting Balatro.exe with 7-zip

[native gorge]

thank you !

should i come here if i have some question or can i dm you @frosty dock ?

[zealous glen]

Can't it work like calculating jokers?

[maiden phoenix]

It's the same logic but it doesn't work 1:1 the same

[zealous glen]

Couldn't you hook calculate_joker?

[maiden phoenix]

That's how it works yea

[zealous glen]

hmmm

I think using the existing contexts covers most cases I can think of

[maiden phoenix]

Gonna add a "Reach times X the score goal" too

[zealous glen]

@mellow sable Idea: do you think it's possible to attach an AnimatedSprite to a Joker (like a soul sprite, but its own individual object) without crashing the game?

[mellow sable]

ooh

Probably

[frosty dock]

you'll likely get a faster answer if you just ask here

I am not always available

and I'm not the only knowledgeable person around here, either

[native gorge]

ok thank you !

i have a question, as i'm starting to learn how it works, i'm gonna ask stupid questions lol : i'm looking at the dna joker in the game.lua file and i don't understand why there's nothing in the config section (see in the image)

[wintry solar]

the config is where the jokers store extra values, often the amount of mult/xmult/chips they give. DNA doesn't have any of this and all it's logic is done when calculated

[native gorge]

so i guess the code for it's effects is somewhere else ?

[wintry solar]

yeah, look in card.lua at calculate_joker

[native gorge]

can't find calculate jokers 😕

and i don't understand card.lua xD

[nocturne garnet]

its this part of card.lua

[native gorge]

and i guess this is the config for the dna joker, right ?

also, how do you use a different text editor for this file ? u just extract balatro, edit and compress ?

[nocturne garnet]

whar

[native gorge]

This is the code that make the joker work, right ?

[wintry solar]

yes

[zealous glen]

Yes, but it’s not config

[native gorge]

Thx !

[stray warren]

I'm getting an error in my code: attempt to call field 'end_calculate_context (a nil value). I'm on version 1.0.0-ALPHA-0608a-STEAMODDED and this occurs within the JokerAPI example mod. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

I've got the crash report if that would help

[mellow sable]

The example mod is outdated

[stray warren]

It was doing that with a different custom joker as well. This is the calculate function for it:

calculate = function(self, context)                 --define calculate functions here
        if G.GAME.blind.triggered and not context.blueprint then 
            card.ability.extra.x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult + 0.25
        end
        if context.end_of_round and not context.individual and not context.repetition and not context.blueprint and G.GAME.blind.boss and not self.gone then
            card.ability.extra.x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult + 0.25
        end
        if SMODS.end_calculate_context(context) then
            return {
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.x_mult,
                card = self,
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.x_mult } }
            }
        end
    end,

[crisp coral]

function(self, card, context)

end_calculate_context should be context.joker_main

[stray warren]

That seemed to do it for me. Thanks!

[stray warren]

Is this how you access the hand_type of the current scoring_hand? if v.config.hand_type == context.hand_type then I'm not quite sure how to access that

[crisp coral]

what is v?

[stray warren]

I'm looping through the planets in G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Planet

it's the value at that index

[crisp coral]

the context should be context.scoring_name

[stray warren]

Sweet, that fixed the error i was getting

[spice scroll]

okay so for this joker

i wanna have a message showing what hand was the last hand played

[crisp coral]

oh yeah i just did that for one of my jonklers lmao

[spice scroll]

and basically keep track of the last hand played and compare it with the current one to gain mult

[crisp coral]

if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before and not context.blueprint then
  local hand = context.scoring_name
  if hand == card.ability.extra.last_hand_played then
    --- increase xmult
  else
    --- reset xmult
  end
  card.ability.extra.last_hand_played = hand
end

[spice scroll]

but for now this is crashing the game upon hovering over and im not sure why, cause i looked at another modded joker for reference and its able to have a variable be a string just fine

[crisp coral]

your extra.crack_hand is a table not a string

[spice scroll]

ohhhh i just get rid of the parenthesis?

or

brackets

[crisp coral]

yeah

[frosty dock]

sorry I'm tired

nvm me

[crisp coral]

aure go to sleep

[frosty dock]

no

I just woke up

[crisp coral]

go back to sleep

[frosty dock]

don't mind me

I'll go away

[crisp coral]

also, you should have a "None" check in your locDef. here's the code for it in my jonkler

local hand_var = card.ability.extra.last_hand_played and localize(card.ability.extra.last_hand_played, 'poker_hands') or localize('k_none')

(if the last_hand_played is not nil, return the localization for the hand played, otherwise return the localization for none)

[spice scroll]

is your joker basically the same as this one? lol

[crisp coral]

mine levels up hands

[spice scroll]

ah

[crisp coral]

but similar trigger

[spice scroll]

can i see?

[crisp coral]

mm it uses 1.0.0 functions

[spice scroll]

oh im just curious as to what it is lol

[crisp coral]

oh lmao sure

#⚙・modding-general message

[spice scroll]

nice

btw heres mine in game it uses sould for the hand

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2A7EBAUJaw

[crisp coral]

clever tbh

[spice scroll]

ty

all of them currently

ngl it feels so weird coding without semicolons lol

[crisp coral]

i think i'd die when i have to use c++ again

[unkempt thicket]

what is 1.0.0 version of this?

[spice scroll]

i edited it a bit to add a multiplier if the hand is none and i think its working properly now

thanks for the help

dios mio

i can already tell this is going to be annoying accidentally playing a straight flush

[spice scroll]

how do i get this to only trigger once per end of round? its triggering a bunch of times

[crisp coral]

context.end_of_round triggers for every card

you also need to check not context.individual and not context.repetition

[spice scroll]

so like this?

think its working now yea thanks

[maiden phoenix]

Or just use context.joker_main

[crisp coral]

context.end_of_round does not have a context.joker_main

[spice scroll]

what is the variable for your current score?

G.GAME.chips?

[maiden phoenix]

Get rid of that too

[gaunt thistle]

the somewhat-technical reason is that Lovely hooks the Lua runtime before the game is even loaded. the best language for this is something that compiles to a native binary - C++ and Rust were the obvious choices, I went for the latter because I'm way more productive in it.

[spice scroll]

nvm i got this one done too

[gaunt thistle]

(reading back through message history)

[spice scroll]

knockin em out today

[gaunt thistle]

was browsing the Balatro Nexus community and came across this: https://www.nexusmods.com/balatro/mods/29

if the author is here then you definitely should not be redistributing a modified balatro executable

[frosty dock]

💀

[gaunt thistle]

yeah, I found 3 others that were doing the same thing.

[crisp coral]

💀

[nocturne garnet]

did anyone make a soyjak joker yet

if not i will be truly disappointed

[nocturne garnet]

they're scared of him

[nocturne garnet]

how can i get a joker's name and extras if its not in the deck

im trying to make a joker that copies a completely random joker every blind

[vivid eagle]

that

already exists lol

#1245432531852066897 message

[nocturne garnet]

damn

[vivid eagle]

though maybe not exactly like you envisioned

[nocturne garnet]

still, how do i do it?

[maiden phoenix]

G.P_CENTERS["j_joker"] ?

[nocturne garnet]

works with steamodded 1.0.0-alpha right?

[mellow sable]

ye

[frosty dock]

works without steamodded, actually

[nocturne garnet]

ah i see

[maiden phoenix]

works without any device

Just shout it out real loud irl

[nocturne garnet]

accidentally summons jimbo, the god of all balatro

[nocturne garnet]

how do ya use it

[maiden phoenix]

You just call it like anything else

[nocturne garnet]

nvm think i understood

[wintry solar]

how would I reference files in the steamodded assets from the game_object.lua?

[late socket]

anybody in here interested in helping me troubleshoot my lua code to make some new jokers?

shoot me a message if you want to work on jokers with me

[stray warren]

Is this the context for when a card is getting destroyed?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.destroying_card then
            card.ability.extra.current_mult = card.ability.extra.current_mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, { message = localize('k_plus_planet'), colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Planet})
        end
    end,

I tried this, and it's not triggering when I use the hanged man to destroy cards.

[unkempt thicket]

what is the context for selling other jokers in 1.0.0?

[mellow sable]

context.selling_card

Take a look at m’s implementation if you want to know more

context.card is the card being sold

[stray warren]

Is that the same for destroying_card?

[unkempt thicket]

that was easier then i thought it would be

[lunar patio]

hey uh I see the joker count jumping to 2 when you sell it... does that mean it won't proc if you have 5/5 max jokers ?
dope result tho, I like how silly the chick looks with the egg's face

[spice scroll]

I FIGURED OUT THIS JOKER BY MYSELF LETS GO

im very proud of myself

[fast badge]

goat

[spice scroll]

is there a function for whenever a joker is removed from your jokers for whatever reason?

[frosty dock]

remove_from_deck

[spice scroll]

so jokerInfo.remove_from_deck?

or is that a context

[frosty dock]

that's a thing in 1.0 only

for 0.9.8 you'd have to hook Card:remove_from_deck()

[spice scroll]

awesome

this joker is done then

thought it would be super hard but it wasnt bad

[zealous glen]

You could also evaluate if the Joker is there at runtime

[frosty dock]

you actually have to

otherwise it breaks if you have 2 and sell one

[spice scroll]

oh dang youre right

how would i do that?

or

actually i could just check if theres another copy when i remove it huh

[frosty dock]

find_joker

[spice scroll]

so, at runtime

do i just put an if find_joker in the main file?

[crisp coral]

imagine using find_joker

[spice scroll]

ok this seems to be happening regardless of the joker being there or not

i just have this in the main.lua

[zealous glen]

Shouldn’t it be “by key”

I guess not necessarily

[crisp coral]

should be next(find_joker(...)) if you're just searching

[crisp coral]

by is lame

with with i get to use two extra characters

[zealous glen]

It was more of an English language question

[crisp coral]

still gramatically correct

[zealous glen]

As I said

[fast badge]

the font is giving me a brain aneurysm ngl

[zealous glen]

Skill issue

[spice scroll]

okay now its just not triggering at all

[frosty dock]

SMODS.find_card:

[zealous glen]

Is the name correct?

[crisp coral]

wuh

[crisp coral]

is it still "Grey Joker (WIP)"

[spice scroll]

nope

[crisp coral]

oe

[zealous glen]

I find the name misleading

[frosty dock]

why? it finds cards

[crisp coral]

smods ghost change doesn't count

[frosty dock]

not just jokers

[fast badge]

can it find my dad? 😔

[zealous glen]

Wait I see the issue. I think this code runs once

[frosty dock]

if your dad is a consumable, maybe

[fast badge]

name =/= key

[maiden phoenix]

Sorry he's debuffed

[zealous glen]

You need to check inside the function

And hook it

[zealous glen]

But not in the deck

[frosty dock]

it isn't even my function

[zealous glen]

It doesn’t even find consumables if you don’t have Jokers

[frosty dock]

don't complain to me

[spice scroll]

so like this then

[crisp coral]

ask mr thunk

not me

[frosty dock]

no, it doesn't find consumables if the card area for jokers doesn't exist

[crisp coral]

or aure ig

[zealous glen]

Huh TIL

[zealous glen]

That’s what I meant

[fast badge]

hru btw aure, feeling better?

[frosty dock]

that's not the same as not having jokers

[zealous glen]

Kinda but you should hook the original

[frosty dock]

I'm doing better, still not fully recovered though

getting there

[fast badge]

good good

shoulda eaten the Döner

[zealous glen]

I mean if you don’t have the CardArea for Jokers you can’t have Jokers

[frosty dock]

but you can have an empty cardarea for jokers and it will still find consumables

[zealous glen]

Only because an empty list evaluates to true in Lua

[spice scroll]

not sure what you mean

[frosty dock]

if G.jokers or G.jokers.cards don't exist, you're literally not in a run and have no business calling that function

[zealous glen]

But is G.jokers.cards empty or nil?

[frosty dock]

it's empty

[zealous glen]

Jokers that persist between runs

[zealous glen]

You create a reference to the original function then call it inside the overwrite so you don’t lose the original

[frosty dock]

self.cards literally gets initialized to an empty table in CardArea:init()

[zealous glen]

Otherwise multiple mods couldn’t overwrite the same function

[zealous glen]

😭

[spice scroll]

honestly for now

ill burn that bridge when i get to it

[zealous glen]

I’ll suggest calling the original function when the Joker isn’t found

[fast badge]

mfw i write non compatible code

[spice scroll]

yeah i did that

[fast badge]

(me when i delete the joker atlas)

[spice scroll]

oh yeah btw

https://github.com/BarrierTrio/Cardsauce/tree/main/assets/sounds

got a voice actor from final fantasy to do a line for this mod

so thats a thing

I’ll probably be a good bit less active this week since my finals are coming up

[fringe crater]

Hey guys

I'm just porting my mods from balamod to steamodded

does steammodded have a console?

Some way to run commands like balamod?

[crisp coral]

there's a console with lovely or with the debug tool

no direct commands

[fringe crater]

ah damn

being able to add console commands from inside your own mod is super handy

balamod is very good

I guess I'll just add a button in-game to trigger what I need

oooh i like steamodded's error stack trace

[patent helm]

Every guide and mention of Steammodded im seeing says version 1.x.x but the latest version is 0.9.8 as of April 6th?

[fast badge]

1.0.0 is in alpha and not released yet, its the main branch if you still want to download it

[slow ocean]

You Will Be Incredible

[fast badge]

How do I put multiple lovely patches into one file correctly?

maybe you know @zealous glen

nvm found it

[fast badge]

@frosty dock Can I not apply patches to the loc files?

[crisp coral]

localization/en-us.lua

[fast badge]

kms

thanks

Jokes on you, didn't work either

[crisp coral]

[fast badge]

hmmmm

[crisp coral]

wrong pattern

most likely

[fast badge]

Okayie

[crisp coral]

alternatively it just doesn't search in localization

[fast badge]

Yeah I think so, because this didn't work either

[zealous glen]

The pattern needs to match the whole line AFAIK

[fast badge]

Aha

[zealous glen]

Antonidas after you cast a spell:

[gaunt thistle]

localization files aren't patchable by lovely unfortunately

[fast badge]

Pepega

I worked around it so its fine

[gaunt thistle]

gotcha gotcha

yeah they're not loaded in the same way as normal game assets

[nocturne garnet]

Me whem

this is what i get for searching in steamodded 0.98 mods while making a 1.0.0 mod....

[frosty dock]

that steamodded 1.0 is criminally outdated

[crisp coral]

here you go

[frosty dock]

ok

[royal ether]

dammit vscode didnt save the tabs i had open

[crisp coral]

steamodded hot reloading is basically unusable for me rn guh

if i reload via crash it doesn't load lovely

if i reload via mod menu it reloads via steam which is so fucking slow

[frosty dock]

you see, there's currently no better way that works

[crisp coral]

manually reloading

[frosty dock]

it's mostly good for reloading mods that aren't lovely mods

there's literally no better way for lovely mods than just killing the game and starting a new process

[crisp coral]

and why wouldn't that work

[frosty dock]

I mean I can try with the executable directly

I would just need to figure out how to always know where it is

and I also can't disregard launch args

which I guess just means I need the argv

[remote coral]

Jimbozo

[abstract venture]

how would you change the behavior of a consumable when used?

ik theres a .use() but idk how to use it

nvm stack overflow got me

[abstract venture]

alr im still stuck, how would i change the value of a planet card mid game?

if thats possible

like how ectoplasm changes from -1 to -2 when you use it once

[wintry solar]

@frosty dock looking for a way to access the steamodded assets folder for PaletteAPI, any help?

[frosty dock]

SMODS.dir

that's where I keep the top-level directory of steamodded

So SMODS.dir..'assets/' should have you covered for the assets folder

[wintry solar]

I get this error when I use SMODS.dir

G.SHADERS['recolour'] = love.graphics.newShader(SMODS.dir.."assets/shaders/recolour.fs")```
this is my code in `game_object.lua`

[wintry solar]

in fact, upon checking, I don't have a SMODS.dir at all

oh this is a sequencing error

[frosty dock]

oh I see

it's not available before mods are loaded

during injection should work fine

I've made other APIs automatically use it instead of the mod dir when there's no current mod, so I haven't run into that sort of issue

[wintry solar]

yeah I've got it fixed now

just needed to throw it through the SMODS.Shader object

[brisk pond]

is there a way for a new modder to know what the G tables have to offer besides reading the whole Balatro game code?

[frosty dock]

read Balatro source code and use vscode global search or similar to your advantage

at this point someone probably will know if you ask here though

[wintry solar]

you can also throw a lua for k,v in pairs(G.table) do sendDebugMessage(k..": "..tostring(v)) end

and it'll spit it all out to the console

[frosty dock]

sendDebugMessage(inspectDepth(G))

note: it will be harder to make sense of than just reading the code

this is bad advice

[zealous glen]

Balatro has a nonrecursive function to print tables, and you could make a recursive version

[wintry solar]

there's a built in table printer?

[sonic mortar]

tprint, i believe

[zealous glen]

Also keep in mind if you add anything new it’s good practice to create a sub table for your mod

[mellow sable]

print(tprint(table))

tprint just converts it to a string

[wintry solar]

I wish I had known this sooner

[zealous glen]

I think there’s an actual printer but I’m not sure

[unreal nacelle]

This may be a bit redundant of a question to ask here, but how does one code Jokers into the game? (Mainly asking because I have ideas for a 'series' of Jokers, like the Cosmic and Combat Ace series', but have absolutely no idea on how to code, yet I want to give it a shot)

[zealous glen]

Most of the time the main part is writing a custom calculate function that checks the context argument for the appropriate timing to activate then does something. This usually involves defining new variables in the extra table.

[unreal nacelle]

Which I have no idea on how to do that, since I have no idea where to even start when it comes to coding for Balatro

[zealous glen]

Can you code

[unreal nacelle]

No idea on how to do so.

[spice scroll]

add custom sound global is giving me an error, i was told it was included in steammodded 0.9.8 tho

erm

[mellow sable]

Fixed in Steamodded 1.0 🙂

[spice scroll]

whats the method in 0.9.8?

[mellow sable]

Oh I had to update the modloader myself to fix it

But the general idea for file-related bugs is to use nativefs to make a copy in the main folder of the game and load the sound with that

[wintry solar]

I had some issues trying to load Cryptid with my palette stuff because of that, but I think it seemed like an issue you have introduced with how you load files there

[mellow sable]

How did you fix that? Want to make it as compatible as possible

[wintry solar]

I didn't

I just uninstalled cryptid haha

[mellow sable]

I don’t use any love functions so I wouldn’t expect issues

Do you know what the error was?

[wintry solar]

lemme reinstall in and grab the error for you

G.SHADERS[self.key] = love.graphics.newShader(self.full_path) offending line

but it works perfectly without crpytid/talisman installed

[mellow sable]

shaders = {'recolour', 'negative', 'holo', 'polychrome'}
for _, v in pairs(shaders) do
    local file = NFS.read(SMODS.current_mod.path.."/assets/shaders/"..v..".fs")
    love.filesystem.write(v.."-temp.fs", file)
    G.SHADERS[v] = love.graphics.newShader(v.."-temp.fs")
    love.filesystem.remove(v.."-temp.fs")
end

Excuse that formatting issue

But I got a similar bug when trying to install and this was how I fixed it

[wintry solar]

Yeah I've seen that, but it seems unsustainable to have to rewrite every file loading with that

[mellow sable]

Pretty sure file loading issues happen even without Cryptid for me

[mellow sable]

I think it’s only needed if you’re loading it using a LOVE function

[wintry solar]

I mean I haven't thrown a load of mods in there, but cryptid is the only one I've encountered the issue with so far

[mellow sable]

Idk why Cryptid in particular would cause the bug

[wintry solar]

could it be the nativefs part of talisman?

[mellow sable]

idts

you’re not even using nativefs to load the file

[wintry solar]

deleting talisman at least loads the game

I was just wondering if something it does overwrites the base game functionality

[mellow sable]

If you remove the Talisman dependency from Cryptid as well, does that load?

[mellow sable]

It does a lot (but mainly just for numbers)

[wintry solar]

yes

it does load without the dependency

look you can have a lovely lesbian white hole

[mellow sable]

wait actually how does Steamodded even load NativeFS?

I think it just doesn't use it if it's not there

[fallen tendon]

how the hell do you use the actual steamodded sound api

[mellow sable]

maybe just loading nativefs crashes the shader, period

[wintry solar]

it's in loader

[mellow sable]

look at jimball

[fallen tendon]

i cannot for the life of me figure out the play function

[wintry solar]

It doesn't load it

[mellow sable]

ok so maybe it's just nativefs causing the crash

[wintry solar]

but

you can still use NFS.read

[mellow sable]

it loads love.filesystem into NFS if nativefs isn't found

[wintry solar]

oh yes

I can't read

[fallen tendon]

i dont see anything

[mellow sable]

alr lemme paste the relevant source code

[wintry solar]

Alex did you see this btw? #⚙・modding-general message

[mellow sable]

SMODS.Sound({
    key = "music-Jimball",
    path = "music-Jimball.wav"
})

[wintry solar]

if there a way you can load nativefs and not overwrite love.filesystem?

[mellow sable]

idts

[fallen tendon]

thanks

[mellow sable]

I don't think love.filesystem is overridden though

it's the other way around

[fallen tendon]

do you play the sound through play_sound()?

[mellow sable]

ye

[crisp coral]

the nfs thing was supposed to be for thunderstore

[wintry solar]

but when I have talisman I don't hit that error, so I guess it's loading it in before this check,

and then it kills love.filesystem being used

[fallen tendon]

well thats fun

any errors with these?

and yes SwordLunge is an mp3 i double checked

[wintry solar]

It can't open a .ogg file?

[fallen tendon]

its an mp3 file

[wintry solar]

the error message doesn't say that though

[fallen tendon]

if i have to convert every mp3 into an ogg i am going to die of pain

wait what

why is it trying to open an ogg

ogg files fail too

why is it looking in resources/sounds?

what the hell

[wintry solar]

it's doing some fuckery with looking in the base files

[fallen tendon]

how do i make it do some virginity

ive been using play_sound('SwordLunge')

it there soething else i should use?

[mellow sable]

don't use mp3s

convert to wav if you don't like ogg

[fallen tendon]

it happens to oggs too

[wintry solar]

play = function(self, pitch, volume, stop_previous_instance, key) this is how you play it I think

[fallen tendon]

actually ima check if it happens for wav

[wintry solar]

oh you can do play_sound too

[fallen tendon]

how do i do that in my gear code though

[mellow sable]

I mean I used wavs so 🤷‍♂️

[crisp coral]

correct

[mellow sable]

although I just used play_sound so play might be bugged

[wintry solar]

I don't see play_sound anywhere in jimball

[crisp coral]

if you use mp3 in your mods i will hunt you down

[crisp coral]

it's a lovely patch

[fallen tendon]

WHY

THIS IS A WAV FILE

[wintry solar]

that explains that

[fallen tendon]

AND IT THINKS ITS AN OGG FILE IN RESOURCES/SOUNDS

[mellow sable]

I also patched Steamodded to be able to do custom music

which calls play_sound internally I think

nvm it uses Sound:play

[wild gyro]

then make it an ogg file

[mellow sable]

but it's not in resources/sounds

[wild gyro]

then put it there

[fallen tendon]

that doesnt work lol

[wild gyro]

easy

(if only)

[wintry solar]

it's not ebign registered properly

so it's ending up in the base play_sound function

[fallen tendon]

doesnt work

[wintry solar]

try putting your mod prefix on the key in play_sound

[mellow sable]

not with global sound

SMODS.Sound[prefix]:play

or something

[fallen tendon]

oh

[fallen tendon]

that worked

[wintry solar]

🥳

I found that unintuitive at first

but once you remember it's okay

[fallen tendon]

yay now i can release v1.2.3

[nocturne garnet]

why the hell wont it work!!!

what stupid thing did i do this time

[crisp coral]

g.jokers.cards

[nocturne garnet]

on steamodded 1.0.0?

[crisp coral]

pseudorandom_element takes a table as the first argument, not a cardarea

[nocturne garnet]

dang

[crisp coral]

cardareas are tables but hush

[nocturne garnet]

why must allat be so confusing goddamn

[spice scroll]

im at an impasse, should i change my mod to be 1.0.0a

pros:
-doing custom sounds and music will be (presumably) easier
-i wont have to update it later

cons:
-i have to rewrite the whole mod
-will be harder for vinny to download it if 1.0.0 is still in alpha
-future updates might break it

how time consuming is the leap to 1.0.0a?

[surreal marsh]

porting is not that time consuming as you may think and you don't need to rewrite the whole mod. The main differences are in this guide (also mod prefix that isn't in it). Once you understand these differences it's just using regular expression to replace old code patterns with new patterns

[zealous glen]

Or using a for loop

[frosty dock]

I don't recommend this approach btw

[zealous glen]

If you already used a for loop then it ought to be easier

IIRC Betmma had bad coding practices

[frosty dock]

I've never intended for that sheet to be complete, either

[zealous glen]

Pinging you to repeat myself: use a for loop rather than manually adding Jokers

[spice scroll]

i thiiiiink i am? tbh dps handled the joker setup for cardsauce so

yeah i am

[surreal marsh]

but it's the only source of guide🤔 isn't it

[surreal marsh]

I used loop to add jokers in my joker mod from the beginning but didn't use loop in my voucher mod

probably because there weren't many voucher mods to reference at that time

[frosty dock]

the best guide is the source code itself

[surreal marsh]

[edgy reef]

Choosing to understand Steamodded API has been a blessing. I can do anything.

Except UI

I barely understand UI

[frosty dock]

no one does

[edgy reef]

It’s so bad you probably can’t make API out of it without it also being scuffed and unreadable.

[oblique gust]

hey is there any mod using take_ownership in 0.9.8? wanna check some examples

or its actually the same as 1.0.0 shown in the doc?

[zealous glen]

I kinda understand tooltips after they’re created

[frosty dock]

the difference is that you can't give 0.9.8 take_ownership a table, you have to insert modifications yourself

e.g.

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('joker')
SMODS.Jokers['j_joker'].config.mult = -4

[fast badge]

(you can give SMODS 1.0.0 take_ownership a table????)

[frosty dock]

yeah

[fast badge]

With multiple jokers?

[frosty dock]

no, with what you want changed

[fast badge]

Learn something new every day

[oblique gust]

nice. got it

[wintry solar]

I’m slowly getting a grasp of UI stuff but it’s a long process

[oblique gust]

so i tried like

SMODS["Joker"]:take_ownership('j_joker')
SMODS.Jokers['j_joker'].cost = 1

but it said j_joker is nil, in the second line. am i missing anything?

[fast badge]

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership

not SMODS["Joker"]

[frosty dock]

oh I'm sorry

I forgot you have to register in 0.9.8

[fast badge]

mfw

[frosty dock]

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('joker'):register()

[oblique gust]

like
:register() right

okay

[frosty dock]

[wintry solar]

That is the most unhelpful crash log I’ve seen in a while

[shell timber]

can you screenshot your install folder

[mellow sable]

They’re devving a mod

[wintry solar]

But why would you have crash reports turned off

[frosty dock]

I'm not sure why that would display

[wintry solar]

How is anybody supposed to provide any insight

[frosty dock]

oh, 0.9.8

wait no that still shouldn't show

what..

[fast badge]

https://tenor.com/view/que-gif-27530657

[crisp coral]

what steamodded version are you using

[fast badge]

@regal wolf

[regal wolf]

not using steammodded

using lovely.

[frosty dock]

oh just lovely

that makes more sense

[regal wolf]

i fixed the issue

[frosty dock]

i should have seen that 💀

[regal wolf]

trying to rewrite the sound_manager is a pain though

stupid love.threads

[crisp coral]

oh

[nocturne garnet]

where can you find every joker in the game

in steamodded 1.0.0a

someone told me G.jokers.cards but thats just the jokers that you currently have

[zealous glen]

Maybe centers

[wintry solar]

yeah I think G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker should have them all

[nocturne garnet]

omg its finally starting to work

[hallow forge]

i love that sprite

[nocturne garnet]

isnt it awesome?

[hallow forge]

yes

[nocturne garnet]

i worked REALLY hard on the sprite!

[hallow forge]

i can tell

[nocturne garnet]

mane.........................

how am i supposed to get name here

[hallow forge]

probably something in P_CARDS or whatever its called

G.GAME.P_CENTERS[slug].name?

[nocturne garnet]

im not using steamodded 0.9.8

[hallow forge]

i think that's still there tho unless Steammodded just changes the whole code for the game

as in that should work for vanilla jokers at least

[nocturne garnet]

nvm it works, ty!!

[hallow forge]

np

[nocturne garnet]

steamodded 1.0.0 uses key instead of slug so i thought it might have changed

[hallow forge]

you may need to do something else for modded jokers tho, im not sure but just a heads up

[edgy reef]

Is this getting the name within the joker description?

You can use localize{type = 'name_text', key = joker_key, nodes = {}}

[storm shale]

I'm trying to get my mod working for Steamodded 1.0.0 (I tested with 0.9.8, the last official release) and I'm getting a weird crash log. Something about a "regex" variant that isn't recognized within Toml?? I don't imagine this was caused by my mod at all. I downloaded the zip directly from the GitHub, deleted the old 0.9.8 folder in the Mods directory, and put it in.

[crisp coral]

update lovely

[storm shale]

ah i got 0.4.0 cuz 0.5.0 is in beta so i thought i wasn't supposed to

[maiden veldt]

how would i add the Blueprint/Brainstorm compatible tooltip to one of my own jokers?

[spice scroll]

someone tried to put it into my mod in 0.9.8 and it just refused to work so i have no idea unfortunately

[maiden veldt]

ah, thanks

[spice scroll]

if anyone knows how to though id also like to know

[crisp coral]

why is my music still playing when music slider is 0 uhh

[nocturne garnet]

aw dangit! aw dangit! aw dangit! aw

just for one joker.......

[crisp coral]

the problem here is that you're adding a string to your chosenjoker

and a string does not have calculate_joker

[nocturne garnet]

aw dangit!

i am clueless on how to fix this

[storm shale]

yeah that'll do it

So is the idea behind your card that it becomes a random joker each time blind is selected?

out of all possible Jokers?

[nocturne garnet]

yea

[storm shale]

random shot in the dark, could you perhaps initialize a Card object with the corresponding joker? idk

[edgy reef]

You can store a joker inside another joker's config but be warned the game WILL NOT like it.

You could use the key of the joker to find it's config and call calculate from there.

[zealous glen]

I think you need to manually add it through main_end

[fast badge]

I did that but with just the available jokers in your joker slots

so doing it with any random one would be pretty easy

[fast badge]

Yup, this

[narrow pollen]

well, now that i'm past a life emergency that kind of limited my ability to function socially... i figured out an effect for a card i made art for!

(i guess the updated art isn't in the game just yet; but that can be easily fixed.)

here's the updated art, for those curious.

(for those curious: it wasn't anything that affected me; family dog was just goin through some stuff and now he's better)

[fast badge]

Any way to print the key(s) of the context (table) so I can figure out what the context for the trigger is to debug it? Would a k,v interation and printing them work? (Yup, printing the key worked fine for me)

[hallow forge]

randomly swaps between Amber Acorn, Crimson Heart, and Cerulean Bell

[wintry solar]

Reminder that this has all the contexts present https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1247703015222149120

[fast badge]

Yeah it was more for debugging why the calc was triggered 5 times instead of once

[wintry solar]

Ah I see

[nocturne garnet]

is it just me or do soul sprites kinda break stuff

[fast badge]

I think it's just you

[zealous glen]

Just you AFAIK

[night pagoda]

I'm trying to modify suit functions that are for disabling & enabling/populating my suits, but I can't get them to work: I call :disable() on my suits, yet they still appear in card packs, what am I doing wrong?

update: nvm, it works, it seems like something else doesn't

[nocturne garnet]

nvm its just that i shouldnt use both regular jokers and jokers with soul sprites on the same sheet

[night pagoda]

how do I inject with lovely using multiple lines as a pattern?

[zealous glen]

That’s exactly what the base game does though

[zealous glen]

Regex? But I think it might just do the first. @gaunt thistle

[gaunt thistle]

Regex

[night pagoda]

How do I use it?

[zealous glen]

I think there’s an example

In the GitHub

[night pagoda]

oh, found it, ty!

[gaunt thistle]

and 100% test your patterns with a tool like https://regexr.com

also keep in mind that you can keep your patterns short by using wildcards n such

regex is cool

[fast badge]

Regex is cool, but regex also hates you

[zealous glen]

https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/perl_problems.png

[night pagoda]

ouch (it works)

but I hate this thing

[fast badge]

\\s*\\ mania

[night pagoda]

progress on something

hiding the tallies when there's zero cards of suit

[crisp coral]

firch cooking

[night pagoda]

yaay!

(testing this with checkered deck)

[nocturne garnet]

yippeee

[night pagoda]

Is it possible to change the order of suits?

small thing but it feels wrong to have custom suits at the top of the list instead of the bottom

[gaunt thistle]

it's not thatttt bad

if it works then it works

[night pagoda]

yeah...

[gaunt thistle]

nothing to be ashamed of

such is life

[nocturne garnet]

[night pagoda]

is there add_to_pool but for consumables?

or, a different question, which function adds the registered consumable to the pool?

[frosty dock]

add_to_pool is not limited to jokers

it works for anything that uses get_current_pool

[night pagoda]

oh, awesome

when add_to_pool gets called?

[frosty dock]

in get_current_pool

[night pagoda]

sweet!

[unkempt thicket]

what are you working on👀

[night pagoda]

just a better way to hide suits

unregistering them is yuck and causes a lot of jank

[hallow forge]

King of um... idk

[unkempt thicket]

tell me when you find out that'd be really useful for the decks of 600 suits

[night pagoda]

if you will have a deck that starts with one suit and it adds more and more as the game progresses then yeah lol

[unkempt thicket]

i'll have 150 decks that start with 4 suits

4 different ones for each

[night pagoda]

uhmmm, what am I doing wrong?

(I'm assuming it uses card_key?)

[remote coral]

So you need an alternative for 5 of Fleurons?

Alt F5

[night pagoda]

???

what?

[night pagoda]

@frosty dock sorry for ping!
it seems that the poker hand preview doesn't work on cards that aren't in the pool, but are still registered. Which would make sense for something that previews cards elsewhere but not in the poker hand menu. Is there anything I can do?
I don't have registering/unregistering at all now, I don't use disabling (as in disable bool) either. I only change if suit is added to the pool

As soon as I populate the pool, the preview fixes

[night pagoda]

on the same note, custom suits still appear in the loading screen

[night pagoda]

is there an 'on play' function in pokerhand api?

[night pagoda]

I copied sixsuits' poker hand code and it seems like every straight spectrum is royal

[cosmic kernel]

Does anyone have any idea if it's possible to manually enable an entier mod only for a single deck.
Reverie for its own deck only in my case.

[crisp coral]

i don't know if the mod prefix is prepended to the suit but try adding your mod prefix?

[storm shale]

If you want a mod to have mechanics only for a specific deck you can code interactions to check what deck it's in. Checking the source for Back:trigger_effect in back.lua might give some inspiration.

[cosmic kernel]

Thanks 🙏

[fallen tendon]

where is calculate_enhancement located in the source code?

[fallen tendon]

anyone know how to get this to not replace the name of the card yet still have a badge?

[maiden veldt]

how do i stop my joker from shaking when winning the blind? it's activating an effect like Shoot the Moon / Baron for cards held in hand after a hand is played

[fallen tendon]

check if you have an errant juice_up() somewhere

[maiden veldt]

my code doesn't have any juice_up()'s in it

[frosty dock]

I think I had that backwards at one point, then changed it in SMODS code but not in six suits smh

[maiden phoenix]

I think you have an end_of_round context trigger; do sendDebugMessage(inspect(context))

[night pagoda]

another thing that is happening with straight spectrum is that it seems that the cards aren't scored at all

other spectrums work fine so far for me

[spice scroll]

hey, i have a joker that generated planet cards for your most used hand, but it generated them seemingly based on what the most used hand was at the start of the round. im guessing i need to change the underlined bit, but confused on what to change it to

[night pagoda]

I think G.GAME.current_round.most_played_poker_hand updates only at the start of each ante

it is used in blinds for that reason

[fast badge]

refer to this code from the SC:

if G.GAME.blind:get_type() == 'Boss' then
                    local _handname, _played, _order = 'High Card', -1, 100
                    for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
                        if v.played > _played or (v.played == _played and _order > v.order) then 
                            _played = v.played
                            _handname = k
                        end
                    end
                    G.GAME.current_round.most_played_poker_hand = _handname
                end

In other words, you have to set it yourself by iterating over the hands and checking the played stats

[spice scroll]

the SC? thank you tho

[fast badge]

Source code

[spice scroll]

ah

so like this im guessing

also

[fast badge]

Well full house is the most played?

Seems to be working to me

[spice scroll]

yeah but that was at the start of the blind

[fast badge]

?

I dont quite understand what you're trying to achieve

[spice scroll]

it was the most played at the start of the blind

the joker currently works most times but not when your most played hand changes in the blind

[night pagoda]

cursed

[crisp coral]

the cards are done with this shit

[fast badge]

Laterr!!!!!!!!!

[crisp coral]

jokes aside, anything messing with the G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info or evaluate_poker_hand functions

[night pagoda]

"hell naw we aren't the royal spectrum"

[spice scroll]

this seems to just be giving me plutos

this can access this, right

OH

maybe updating order is missing?

like that perhapst

[fast badge]

I, also, was wondering why that's missing in the literal source code of the game, but it seems to be working ig 💀

[spice scroll]

i fixed it and its working

this is the greatest high

https://tenor.com/view/dio-the-world-flame-aura-gif-13331625

[fast badge]

How'd ya fix it

[spice scroll]

added the order update

[fast badge]

That's funny

no way that the source code is faulty itself lol

[spice scroll]

must be some sorta difference for it only checking each blind

[zealous glen]

[fast badge]

Yea

[spice scroll]

got another joker working

hell yeah

last question for tonight

this joker works but the joker message doesnt time with the card actually changing and it bothers me lol

is there a way i can fix this

[maiden phoenix]

Maybe move the card_evals inside the G.E_MANAGER

[fast badge]

^

[spice scroll]

like, all of it, including the for k v?

[maiden phoenix]

No just the card_eval

Below the v:juice_up or something

[spice scroll]

oh right rightt

nah that makes the message appear after the entire hand was scored

[crisp coral]

try card_eval before the add_event for juice_up

[spice scroll]

id tried that first, is close but the transformation still happens before

actually

hold on

think i got it?

[crisp coral]

hm

after color = ... add instant = true

[spice scroll]

wow i tested it out and got this lmao

hmmmm

yeah that does work but its a bit fast

ill fiddle around with it more thanks

im ideally looking for how, say, midas mask or vampire are animated with their messages and card switches, but for some reason even copying the code it orders differently

[zealous glen]

How so

[spice scroll]

well, formatted like midas mask/vampire was how it was in the screenshot i sent

[zealous glen]

I mean what does it look like

[crisp coral]

event ordering is funny

[zealous glen]

Event handling

[spice scroll]

the current version or the one in the code i sent

[zealous glen]

The one you’re complaining about

[spice scroll]

this is basically perfect just need to make a buffer between the trigger and the chip count

[zealous glen]

How does Midas Mask does it?

I feel like adding a delay would resolve it

But I’d see how they do it

[frosty dock]

midas mask uses context.before

otherwise you'd have to use events

[brisk pond]

is there a way to make a part of the sprite change during the run?
I have these Jokers with a number on the bottom that changes depending on the used tarots.
Do I need to make a new full Joker sprite for every number?

like this

[frosty dock]

you can either use completely different sprites for each, or use a floating soul sprite for the number

[brisk pond]

perfect

just wanted to know if it was possible/easy to do

[night pagoda]

@frosty dock it seems like your slothful & envious jokers do not work :P

(the suit jokers)

also all poker hands that aren't spectrum (and take spectrum as atomic part) do not score their cards

[frosty dock]

oh it's all of them?

I might have borked something in the API then

nvm I was just returning the wrong thing

[night pagoda]

yep

[frosty dock]

my suit mult jokers were missing effect 💀
