[wintry solar]

the bottom function is entirely broken

[solid salmon]

your statements true my fellow modder

[wintry solar]

okay

so when you redeem your voucher you want to set a global variable to be something

[solid salmon]

i remeber reading about this

[wintry solar]

then in a separate function you want to hook into set_edition

[solid salmon]

a global variable like

i = 10

(that's the example i got from the book alex sent)

[wintry solar]

I mean

I would call it something like FOIL_VOUCHER_REDEEMED

and then just make it true when you buy the voucher

[solid salmon]

FOIL_VOUCHER_REDEEMED = true

or in this case

shiner_foil_redeemed = true

[wintry solar]

it doesn't matter what it's called really, just helps to give it a name that makes sense

[solid salmon]

ok

following your example could it look something like this?

[kind shadow]

There should be a cookie clicker mod

[solid salmon]

hmm

[solid salmon]

mayhaps

[kind shadow]

I'm gonna make a spreadsheet

[hallow forge]

Alternative, one could just play cookie clicker

I don’t think that’s how that works

I think they are suggesting a seperate mod

[solid salmon]

eh i tried

[kind shadow]

I am

[hallow forge]

then why add it to balatro

[solid salmon]

i think its cards

[kind shadow]

Yeah I mean having it be cookie clicker themed

[hallow forge]

oh

[solid salmon]

i could maybe add that

[kind shadow]

Like having milk and kittens and stuff

[solid salmon]

yeah maybe

but not rn

[wintry solar]

this does not look correct to me but I haven't looked at vouchers yet

[solid salmon]

yeah ditto

[solid salmon]

if you want to add ideas i could use some https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hqeq9gArictq63JySjWV8s3Nd2T1Wl29d1IAgngN0vo/edit?gid=701226348#gid=701226348

[kind shadow]

again? 😭

Eh fine

[solid salmon]

bruh

[wintry solar]

@solid salmon okay you want something like this in your voucher definition

redeem = function(self)
shinier_foil_redeemed = true
end,

in fact, you should probably do your updating of editions in here too

[solid salmon]

ok

i copied it and added it to all ZE vouchers

[solid salmon]

it works so now to apply it to all ze vouchers

well it doesn't crash

so that's a big step

[wintry solar]

no get rid of all the set_edition crap

[solid salmon]

the local card_set_edition

?

[wintry solar]

yes

[solid salmon]

ok

do i also remove card_set_editon_ref?

[wintry solar]

yes

your redeem needs to be just what I sent you

[wintry solar]

literally just this

[solid salmon]

happy now

[wintry solar]

no

why do you have other vouchers being set as redeemed

[solid salmon]

😠

happy now

also i found out it doesn't work on foil tag jokers

[wintry solar]

yes we haven't finished yet

[solid salmon]

ok

[wintry solar]

I don't know how you possibly expect it to work in this form

all you've done is create a voucher

you haven't done ANY of the implementation properly

[solid salmon]

okay

[wintry solar]

right

you know that other function you had where you iterated over playing_cards?

[solid salmon]

this one

[wintry solar]

yes

take the for loop and put it in the redeem function

[solid salmon]

this redeem function

i can change it to shinier foil

also how i make it loop?

[royal ether]

thats probably in that lua textbook

[solid salmon]

lemme check

[wintry solar]

I've DM'd you

[fallen tendon]

If you want the voucher to work on jokers you have you should make it do the pairs over G.jokers too

[atomic falcon]

any chance anyone knows how i can use a hook to trigger a pack checking function upon opening a pack

<3

[languid quiver]

heya, how do i add my own language in the game as a mod? i wanna rename Aces to Haileys for my Hailey Aces mod

[royal ether]

you can either fully rewrite localization, like huy's vietnamese localization: https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1250676786040148042

or you can just edit the game's localization in memory when your mod is loaded

i cant think of an example of the 2nd option off the top of my head

oh wait

like the gay mod: https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1249736308394299452

doing it for aces will be mildly harder though, since there's probably more instances of the word Ace than just the ace cards

[fallen tendon]

TRANS

Trans spectrans does it too i beleive

[royal ether]

oh thats nice, i thought it was just a texture pack

[fallen tendon]

It actually changes the name of them

And trance becomes trans

[languid quiver]

hmmm okay

also how do i make a deck in 1.0.0?

very simple idea i had in mind: start with two uranus cards (or two pair already at level 3) and -1 discards

[royal ether]

i think if you follow the 0.9.8 method, but use SMODS.Back instead of SMODS.Deck, it should work

i am also extremely not a smods user so i could be completely wrong

[fallen tendon]

Yeah you kinda are

1.0 has very different api

[royal ether]

i guess the migration guide is wrong then

[solemn coral]

I'm having difficulty with making a joker that debuffs cards

This joker was working fine, but then I played Incantation and it un-debuffed the current hand and only debuffed the newly Incanted cards

[edgy reef]

The game rechecks if cards should be debuffed when consumables are used.

[solemn coral]

Here's what my code looks like so far

-- In the joker's calculate function
calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if not context.blueprint then
        if context.first_hand_drawn and not self.getting_sliced then
            print("Starting effect")
            for _, v in ipairs(G.deck.cards) do
                if v:is_suit('Spades') or v:is_suit('Clubs') then
                    v.debuff = true
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

-- In my main function
function SMODS.current_mod.set_debuff(card, should_debuff)
    for _, v in ipairs(SMODS.find_card("j_twewy_blackSky", true)) do
        if card:is_suit('Spades') or card:is_suit('Clubs') then
            card.debuff = true
            return true
        end
    end
end

Theoretically that second function should be setting the debuffs properly, even if it needs to be recalculated mid-round

And I know it's reading it somehow, since it debuffed the newly created 9 of Spades

[edgy reef]

Probably the SMODS.find_card line

You don't need to loop over it.

Just check for if one exists (#SMODS.find_card("j_twewy_blackSky", true) > 0) and then check for the suit.

[sly forge]

hm, if omit_base_debuff_check ~= nil then return end is actually a bug, it'll stop other mods from setting debuffs

also, don't return true from your set_debuff function

also, you are counting instances of j_twewy_blackSky even if they're debuffed, is that correct?

[solemn coral]

Hmm no you're right that second argument should be false

[sly forge]

sorry, I can't tell what bug is the one that's actually causing the problem

so, you get like 3 bugs at once!

[solemn coral]

I changed it so it's an if statement instead of the for loop, and it no longer returns true, but it still un-debuffs cards whenever I sell something or use a consumable

[edgy reef]

That's an oversight on my part, we need to return from the function if a mod sets a card to be debuffed else the game will remove it.

[crisp coral]

set_debuff is really confusing tbh

[edgy reef]

It needs redone for so many reasons

[crisp coral]

i just give the playing cards an ability ex. scorched_girl_debuff and check that instead of checking for jokers

[solemn coral]

I could try doing that and seeing if that improves things

[crisp coral]

it's not great, but it is a workaround

[sly forge]

trying to fix the per-mod set_debuff function right now

[crisp coral]

what's being changed

[sly forge]

there's a bug if two mods both return true for omit_base_debuff_check

[crisp coral]

mm

[sly forge]

if it's true, the function early returns so the 2nd mod won't get to do anything

another problem, the per-mod set_debuff doesn't play well with should_debuff

in fact, I believe it's completely wrong, the base game sets the final debuffed/non-debuffed state to should_debuff

the logic should be, if should_debuff is true, or the base game perishable check is true, or the mod says we should debuff, then set self.debuff = true

having a per-mod debuff function can cause issues- if Tarot DX says spades can't be debuffed, and then another mod debuffs a spade, what is Tarot DX supposed to do about it

so, there needs to be some kind of priority system in the returned values, maybe? or each debuff comes with a reason

I don't know! it's hard

[crisp coral]

that's why i had the card ability for debuffing, if the ability gets removed all other checks still run

plus the two debuffing jokers i had wouldn't play nice with it anyway

[sly forge]

hm, so what happens with an effect like Tarot DX's Spades buff

this feels like a problem some card games have, where there's "you can't" and "you can" effects

[crisp coral]

i have not played tarot dx

[sly forge]

oh, there's also miracle milk from Mika

undebuffs cards when you score them

I definitely think the system needs to support these

I was thinking of some kind of priority system

[crisp coral]

that's from mystjokers

[sly forge]

oh, whoops yeah that's yours

[crisp coral]

which i haven't tested in 1.0.0 so that's that

[sly forge]

both of these peoples names start with M

ok, what are peoples' opinions on how the per-mod set_debuff function should work?

current planned (correct) implementation is, it returns a value, and those values are ORed together for the final debuff

there were other considerations: a priority system for effects like Tarot DX's "spades can't be debuffed" effect

just pushed the correct implementation, asking for further feedback

[edgy reef]

If a mod wants something debuffed it could be added to a table used as a check (less scuffed). If it's empty, self.debuff = false. If it's not, self.debuff = true.
Effects that want to prevent debuffs can set a var (something like protection or ignore_debuff) that would ignore whatever the debuff table looks like.
I side with debuff prevention taking priority over debuffing as it would be more intuitive to players if a object that debuffed a card got ignored by another object than the other way around (debuff ignore effects would basically be lying to you if mods debuffing objects took priority).

Having the debuff/ignore debuff on a priority is also to me a bad solution because it'll be too unclear as to what this priority is in-game.

[solemn coral]

I also definitely agree with debuff prevention always taking precedence

[sly forge]

ok thinking about return value format

the most natural would be true, false/nil, or a 3rd value like 'prevent_debuff'

it hurts me to have such a type, but it does capture things reasonably.

in other functions I have been using the first return as the main return value, and the second as a table of options

[solemn coral]

Another alternative could be a table like return {debuff = true, prevent_debuff = false}

That does have the issue that technically people can return the table with both true (but you'd just have the prevent_debuff override it as usual), but most of the time you'd just only return the relevant value like return {prevent_debuff = true}

[sly forge]

the game's edition code used tables with a single key- but that turned out to cause problems

I'm going to say the sentinel value version is probably better

[solemn coral]

What problems did that cause, out of curiosity?

[sly forge]

so, the edition code actually sometimes used tables with more than one key, it just checked for specific keys. that was pretty fragile. it's also hard to extend.

[crisp elbow]

Is there any way to get a more verbose log output from Steamodded / Lovely?

[sly forge]

I believe it is as verbose as it gets already

[crisp elbow]

damn

'"C:\users\steamuser\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mo..."]'

trying to see which file this is

[sly forge]

hm, I've never seen that happen actually. Try looking in the terminal itself

it might be easier to find/copy what you want there

[surreal marsh]

i think this indicates file loaded by NFS or other functions instead of directly loaded by SMOD

[edgy reef]

It’s the same issue with the terminal

Any print of the path on the stack traceback is like this, and iirc it is a “NFS load vs. SMODS load”

I wonder what the difference is because last I looked SMODS does use NFS.

[brisk pond]

how can I make a joker upgrade the hand level two times?

I know that space jokers upgrades the hand level returning this

return {
   card = self,
   level_up = true,
   message = localize('k_level_up_ex')
}

but it only upgrades once and ends the function

[edgy reef]

That’s because the level_up return only handles one.

[brisk pond]

I tried a different method

if context.joker_main then
level_up_hand(card, G.GAME.last_hand_played, nil, 2)
end

it works

[queen scroll]

hey i'm probably stupid but i get this error when trying to run the very newest steamodded alpha version. i just pulled the code directly from github

[sly forge]

uh oh, I've seen this happen before... can you give me the full log output, I want to see what lovely is saying

also try lovely beta-6

though, that won't fix the issue if it's the same one I've seen before

[autumn berry]

first time using lua, any idea why this doesn't work?

--Update localization
    local Replacements = {}

    if Settings.Value_Name then --this is true
        Replacements["Mult"] = "Bult"
        Replacements["Chips"] = "Bhips"
        Replacements["Money"] = "Boney"
    end

    function CleanLocTable(locTable)
        sendDebugMessage("Hello World!")

        for i, v in ipairs(locTable) do
            sendDebugMessage(locTable[i]) --this doesn't run :(
            for key, value in pairs(Replacements) do
                locTable[i] = v:gsub("%f[{]" .. key .. "%f[^}]", value)
            end
        end

        return locTable
    end

    G.localization.descriptions.Joker.j_greedy_joker["text"] = CleanLocTable(G.localization.descriptions.Joker
        .j_greedy_joker["text"])

[zealous glen]

where do you call CleanLocTable

oh, if that's inside your main mod's code, you'll probably want to put it into process_loc_def or whatever it was called

[edgy reef]

process_loc_text.

[zealous glen]

I'm getting a "attempt to call a nil value" error when I try to NFS.load this file. I just modified the _generate_main_end function so I think that's the cause but I can't spot an issue.

[frosty dock]

current_mod.path already has the / at the end

so having it at the start of what you append probably gets things messed up

[zealous glen]

No the other Jokers that do it don't have an issue

For example, this works:

[edgy reef]

If that's happening you can get a better direction through printing the error.

[edgy reef]

I mean to print the err that NFS.load returns.

Something like this.

Should give a better direction for what's wrong than just knowing that the file part didn't load correctly.

[zealous glen]

No error message. It just crashes.

[edgy reef]

Remove the () part

[zealous glen]

which one

[edgy reef]

Behind the NFS.load

You can set the data after the error check.

[zealous glen]

Ok I think I found the error

Now the tooltip works in other languages and I also added face-down support

[brisk pond]

I'm just starting to work with context.blueprint, so I'm not very good with it. This is the scenario that should happen:

• When Strength is used, this Joker calls rankUp(card) blueprintable
• IfJoker's rank >= 10, this Joker calls evolve() not blueprintable, else it calls AddJokerSlots() not blueprintable

I have tried this setup but now the function AddJokerSlots isn't called

calculate = function(self,card,context)
 if context.using_consumeable then
  -- Rank Up
  if context.consumeable.ability.name == 'Strength' and card.ability.extra.Rank < 10 then
   PT_rankUp(card)
    if not context.blueprint and card.ability.extra.Rank >= 10 then
     PT_evolve(card,'j_PT_Lavenza')
    else
     if not context.blueprint then
      PT_Twins_AddJokerSlots(card.ability.extra.Rank)
     end
    end            
   end
  end
 end,
remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
 PT_Twins_RemoveJokerSlots(card,card.ability.extra.Rank)
 end,

I tried this cleaner version but still AddJokerSlots isn't called

calculate = function(self,card,context)
 if context.using_consumeable then
  -- Rank Up
  if context.consumeable.ability.name == 'Strength' and card.ability.extra.Rank < 10 then
   PT_rankUp(card)
    if context.blueprint == false then
     if card.ability.extra.Rank >= 10 then
      PT_evolve(card,'j_PT_Lavenza')
     else
      PT_Twins_AddJokerSlots(card.ability.extra.Rank)
     end
    end            
   end
  end
 end,

here's the function AddJokerSlots for info

function PT_Twins_AddJokerSlots(rank)
    local jokerSlots = G.jokers.config.card_limit
    if rank == 3 then
        jokerSlots = jokerSlots + 1
    end
    if rank == 7 then
        jokerSlots = jokerSlots + 1
    end
    G.jokers.config.card_limit = jokerSlots
end

[crisp coral]

not surprising, you're only checking for rank >= 10 if rank < 10 is true

[frosty dock]

also context.blueprint is never explicitly false iirc

[brisk pond]

how does this context work? I'm just starting to work with it

[crisp coral]

it's nil or a number iirc

[frosty dock]

yep

[brisk pond]

so not context.blueprint?

[frosty dock]

👍

[brisk pond]

ok

still

joker doesn't work

[frosty dock]

.

[brisk pond]

rankUp does rank = rank + 1

suppose you are rk9, you use charriot. You enter the using_counsumeable section, you also enter the rank < 10 section, you call rankUp which makes your rank to 10. Then you evolve but just if you are not a brainstorm

before starting to use context.blueprint this joker was working fine

[crisp coral]

then don't use context.blueprint

[brisk pond]

but I don't want blueprint to copy the AJS ability

[crisp coral]

logicwise, if you're at 9 and triggers twice, it will always trigger once because of the <10 check

[brisk pond]

oh I get it

but how do I solve it

[crisp coral]

remove context.blueprint

[brisk pond]

ok it works

the fact that was making me confused was that Blueprint activates before the Joker

because it's at its left

[solid salmon]

how do i add gifs into jokers?

like the bad apple one

[oblique gust]

thats not gif

thats gazillions of pics

[solid salmon]

...

how would that even work

[iron sphinx]

exactly how you think it would

[solid salmon]

put all the gif frames into a folder and make it work

[oblique gust]

animation is just bunches of steady pictures played in a row. .gif is basically this too

[solid salmon]

(ngl i just want to do a rick roll)

[oblique gust]

if a rickroll is making ur mod extra large dont do it

maybe just make it flip and change texture

[solid salmon]

i accidentally made the entire video into a gif

i think i should have kept the iconic part

[oblique gust]

and if you have to do it you can consider compressing it in the most lossy way possible

[solid salmon]

ok

[brisk pond]

show the code in Vouchers.lua

[night pagoda]

heyo chat, any ideas if it is possible to debuff and un-debuff jokers independently of blind or other possible debuffs? By that I mean that I want to have an additional layer of debuffing and I need to sometimes remove it from the card, but the problem is that the card doesn't "know" if the debuff supposed to stay on it (like while in combat with Crimson Heart)

[mellow sable]

Maybe look at how Perishable does it?

[night pagoda]

yeah, but perishable never needs to remove its debuff

that was the very first thing I checked, but then it made me realize that it's not what I need

a bit more context: I want to make a joker that debuffs one near it. When crimson heart deciedes to pick the already debuffed joker, I can just drag my debuffing joker away and it will negate crimson's heart effect completely

(well I kinda made it but this issue happens)

awesome

wanted to see what happens if I have only perished perishable jokers

during crimson heart - it crashes without mods

even without steamodded

??

[hallow forge]

wanted to get an opinion on this, since i'm not sure what would make sense, i have a boss blind which has a chance to permenantly modify drawn cards. should disabling it A. prevent later drawn cards from beung modified, B. all modified cards modified from this boss blind currenlty in hand are unmodified C. all modifications from this boss blind are reveryed

[maiden phoenix]

Like if you sell a Luchador mid boss blind?

[hallow forge]

yeah

[maiden phoenix]

I'd go with A imo

Might as well make a poll

[hallow forge]

k ig

[zealous glen]

I'd say it depends if Puzzled is related to the boss or not

[hallow forge]

it's related to teh boss

it comes only from the boss

[zealous glen]

If cards can become Puzzled in a different way, 1.

But does it persist after the Boss?

[hallow forge]

yes... i capitalized PERMANANTLY

[solid salmon]

hehe

[tepid crow]

no shot

how am I supposed to code anything now

oh nevermind its fixed

[near ivy]

should prevent the boss from applying it to cards and remove the effect from only the ones it applied the effect to this round fight

[hallow forge]

why'd you vote the first one

if you think that

[near ivy]

it was the closest thing to what i wanted

[hallow forge]

i mean yeah but like theres a 55 character limit on the poll option

[near ivy]

mhm

[hallow forge]

well based on these results im probably gonna have it not unpuzzle cards at all. since thats what is being voted

[near ivy]

mmkay

[charred harbor]

I have a whole list of Balatro custom content I want to turn into a mod, and a decent amount of programming experience, though none in Lua. Where should I start?

[crisp coral]

if you have prior programming knowledge then lua should be intuitive(?)

extract the source code from the Balatro.exe file with winrar or 7zip

[fallen tendon]

Lua is basically just python but easier, with an identical print function. It shouldnt be too bad.

[charred harbor]

And to add, say, a custom joker, what is there to do? I wanna start small. Throw it onto the joker stack list with necessary function, make art and put that in the right place, push it to github?

Any glaringly obvious step that I'm missing?

[fallen tendon]

Yeah

Just look at 1.0.0 mods to know the steamodded formatting

And the calculate function can be mostly inferred from card.lua’s calculate_joker function

[zealous glen]

The easiest way would be to install lovely and Steamodded, then make an one-Joker mod by registering a Joker. Joker effects are usually mostly handled by their calculate function. The Steamodded wiki can help

[brisk pond]

is there a way I could do something like this?

[crisp coral]

...do you want to do ui bullshit?

[wintry solar]

The answer to that question is always no

[zealous glen]

Could you? Probably. Can you?

Can anyone?

[fallen tendon]

Only localthunk could possibly decipher the ui system

[hallow forge]

they can decipher it?

[regal shoal]

Hello people ❤️
I can't remember the parameter for starting jokers in a deck

[regal wolf]

Fr

[sonic mortar]

nothing is impossible, some things just take more dedication than others

[hallow forge]

Escape form the event horizon of a black hole

[vivid eagle]

simply use the gravitational pull of a different black hole

[hallow forge]

that's not how that works

[vivid eagle]

sure it does!
(i dont know how black holes work)

[hallow forge]

the black holes would jus merge into a "bigger" black hold

*just

*hole

[solemn coral]

How would I copy just the enhancement from one card onto another card? If I do context.other_card.ability.effect, that gives me the name of the enhancement, not the key, and card:set_ability doesn't like that as an argument

[crisp coral]

get context.other_card.config.center.key instead

each enhancement has each own center key

then you can set_ability the center with that key

[solemn coral]

That works, thank you!

[solid salmon]

hey guys wanna see some nil jokers

[fallen tendon]

no

im trying to get this enhancement to upgrade a hand when played, but due to the fact that the game definitely doesnt know how to do that ive had to make a ton of lovely patches, but for some reason they just arent working. anyone know why? (message is too big so ill try to send as txt)

[solid salmon]

idk why but the shader also affects legendaries

this is nil not negative

[fallen tendon]

might i be doing something wrong?

oof my destroy on discard function doesnt work either

i am begging for a calculate for enhancements

oh wait is there calculate for enhancements?

[wintry solar]

You need to use regex for multi line patterns

[fallen tendon]

no.

i dont have a cat

dogs dont walk on keyboards

ok maybe theres a reason people havent been making too many enhancements

[solid salmon]

yeah because it's complicated

[fallen tendon]

nah the calculate is just so painful

[wintry solar]

you could take a look at the better-calc branch and see if htat helps

[solid salmon]

how do i make a card pack

[fallen tendon]

i might check that out

[zealous glen]

I'm trying to make a Blind but it's behaving strangely. First, I tried to define Blind:modify_hand, but that alters the Chips and Mult after cards have been scored. Then I tried Blind:debuff_hand, but it changed the text but not the actual score. I decided to inject directly into evaluate_play to change the score. That works, but I end up with the predicted score being updated inconsistently. Any ideas?

[remote coral]

Probably cooler than negative

[zealous glen]

oh, I also would like to know what do the arguments for Blind functions look like because MystBlinds' seemed incorrect

[frosty dock]

just self mostly, no more blind since you can just access that as G.GAME.blind

[solid salmon]

wait actually

how do i make a booster pack

[gilded blaze]

smod currently only has preliminary support for booster API iirc

nvm

it might have been a different thing

[solemn coral]

As someone else who was interested in making a custom pack, that's something that will be finished before the full release of 1.0, correct?

[gilded blaze]

Reverie already has custom packs

and it's for smod 0.9.8

[frosty dock]

there's been several implementations of booster packs without a steamodded API

the current state of 1.0 does have a booster api though as of recently

[gilded blaze]

Reverie does it via lovely patch, right got it

[frosty dock]

and by that I mean it was merged like 2 days ago

[solemn coral]

Ooooh!

[gilded blaze]

yea I saw the PR a while ago

[solemn coral]

Has the documentation been written for that yet, or should I just look at the PR and figure it out from there?

(Not planning on starting work on my booster pack quite yet, but if the API is there then I might work on it in the next day or two)

[solid salmon]

i looked at reverie

[wintry solar]

btw aure, did you get the edition docs?

[solid salmon]

and i just found out it has a pack that lets you choose anythingf

[solid salmon]

no 😦

[gilded blaze]

meanwhile me having a fully working localization mod while wiki page hasn't even got Language API

[solid salmon]

it's outdated

[frosty dock]

oops, yeah I saw the edition docs, but wasn't able to add them right when I did and then I just forgot

[solid salmon]

i got editions

[frosty dock]

you have access to just add them though, no?

[wintry solar]

I don't think so

[solid salmon]

not the doc

but in my mod

[gilded blaze]

#⚙・modding-general message working edition Ig

[frosty dock]

didn't you have write access to the repo?

[zealous glen]

When I add only self it has one argument too little, it seems like

[solid salmon]

huh

[wintry solar]

I thought I did but now when I look I don't so I have no idea how I managed to merge into it

[frosty dock]

whatever I'll just put it in

I have no clue on how docs should be ordered when finalized tbh

[zealous glen]

@frosty dock For example, this crashes while

this doesn't

[frosty dock]

what steamodded ver?

[zealous glen]

Commit f8f3603

[frosty dock]

there's your issue

that's a week old

[zealous glen]

And from the crash message I can see the isse

[frosty dock]

the blind arg was removed after the commit you're on

[solid salmon]

does anyone know a mod that has card packs?

and works for 1.0.0

[frosty dock]

bro the booster api was merged 2 days ago

[solid salmon]

but i need to know so i can make it for my mod

[frosty dock]

look at the code and figure it out

[zealous glen]

Ok, it almost works, but Blind:wiggle doesn't exist for some reason

[frosty dock]

G.GAME.blind:wiggle()?

[solid salmon]

I can't if i don't know where

[frosty dock]

-- here's an example booster pack
SMODS.Booster {
    key = 'test_booster_pack_2',
    weight = 100,
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Arst",
        text = {
            "This is a test Booster Pack"
        },
        group_name = "Test Pack",
    },
    create_card = function(self, card)
        return create_card("Tarot", G.pack_cards, nil, nil, true, true, nil, 'buf')
    end,
    config = {extra = 5, choose = 5},
    draw_hand = true,
    sparkles = {
        colours = {G.C.WHITE, lighten(G.C.GOLD, 0.2)},
        lifespan = 1
    }
}

[zealous glen]

If self is the Blind, self:wiggle() should work

[frosty dock]

self is the proto

wiggle is on the Blind class

which is the object that's no longer passed because you can just use G.GAME.blind instead

so G.GAME.blind:wiggle() should do

[zealous glen]

ok

thank you

[solid salmon]

does extra mean the amount of cards inside

[frosty dock]

yes

[solid salmon]

ok

[zealous glen]

By the way, aure, what do you think of the suggestion I made in the Steamodded thread?

[frosty dock]

i like the idea, it seems quite powerful

but it would probably require rationalizing all existing calculation to do it properly

[wintry solar]

you need to update smods

[frosty dock]

I told you it was merged 2 days ago

your steamodded is from 4 days ago

adds up?

[solid salmon]

yep

apparently betmmas voucher packs also needs updating

[crisp coral]

shoutouts to lobcorp for not needing to update

[zealous glen]

Rationalizing?

[zealous glen]

Could you help me with a custom Blind?

[crisp coral]

yea?

what do you need

[zealous glen]

The effect works but the UI updates inconsistently

[frosty dock]

moving them to the custom system so the custom stuff isn't awkwardly embedded

[zealous glen]

Sorry, I still don't get it

In my mind the idea is just a fancy list plus the injections to iterate over them

[crisp coral]

for that use modify_hand

[zealous glen]

It applies after the cards score

[crisp coral]

it doesn't?

[zealous glen]

It's the first thing I tried

[crisp coral]

then you tried it wrong

[zealous glen]

I copied from your code

and vanilla

[wintry solar]

maybe it's because you had an old version?

[crisp coral]

modify_hand is used for The Flint and that clearly doesn't proc after

[solid salmon]

aaaay

it works

kinda

[frosty dock]

if each vanilla calculation context isn't separately part of your fancy list, the idea is useless for most use cases

[crisp coral]

better_calc clearly

[frosty dock]

if everything from vanilla is uniformly prio 0, I can only go all the way before or after

which is most likely not what I would want for any given effect

i.e. that's what I would not consider "done properly"

[zealous glen]

Currently vanilla only has Jokers

(and Consumables sometimes)

[frosty dock]

but a shit ton of contexts for them

[wintry solar]

it has playing cards too

[zealous glen]

that's what the injections are for

that was in response to aure

[wintry solar]

I do think a rewrite of the evaluation stack is necessary at some point

otherwise it's going to become a large mess of injections

[frosty dock]

that's what I'm saying

if you extend each step of the calculation pipeline separately, it'll be a huge mess

so the process of a calculation step has to be normalized first

[zealous glen]

The extension follows the structure of the pipeline

It injects before and after each eval_card loop (at least the ones for Jokers) to loop over other objects

and if we rewrite the evaluation, playing cards, Enhancements, etc. would go into the pipeline as well

[zealous glen]

(ping) It works but it introduces a different bug. Now, it overwrites the current Mult

[crisp coral]

well yeah

what's your return

[zealous glen]

I think the way it (didn't) work before was due to me being in an old commit, but that the fact it still doesn't work is an issue with SMODS

[solid salmon]

there are 2 problems with this

[solid salmon]

1 the message

2 i have to pay for them

[crisp coral]

mult gets returned first

[zealous glen]

Oh I got tricked by Scarlet Mist's return

[crisp coral]

yeah Scarlet Mist's has both at the same value

[zealous glen]

I only saw the middle one was mult and didn't check the other one

by the way

why thunk why

the whole game has mult on the right

[solid salmon]

hey guys theres a problem with the voucher packs

[edgy reef]

Is there a specified group_name?

[solid salmon]

for what?

[edgy reef]

To display where the “ERROR” is.

[solid salmon]

oh no it's not an error

it's more like taking the vouchers makes me pay for them

i pay for the pack

[crisp coral]

hasn't betmma implemented that already

[solid salmon]

betmma's is outdated

and confusing

[crisp coral]

💀

[solid salmon]

i loaded the game with his and it crashed

after checking the pack

[zealous glen]

Thank you for the help, Myst!

New Blind!

The Worm
Base Chips are equal to Poker Hand's level

Although I might remake the icon

What do you think?

[austere schooner]

bit strong?

[royal ridge]

incredibly evil, great execution

[sly forge]

Do you want balance suggestions

Great job on the programming part

[austere schooner]

in later antes that base chips is basically going to become a rounding error since like, you're not reasonably going to get hand level over 10 in a normal run

[hallow forge]

I’ve made “worse”

[zealous glen]

Thank you, though this is similar to a scrapped Blind IIRC

[zealous glen]

I mean, I played a whole run where every Boss Blind was The Worm and it was fine :P

But sure, what do you think?

[hallow forge]

The issue with that is that you KNOW the worm is coming

[sly forge]

probably 5x poker hand level, or thereabouts

[zealous glen]

That was my thought if it was too strong

[mellow sable]

There was a reworked blind that set chips to 1

[zealous glen]

That or make it affect Mult

[sly forge]

That’s /4 to /6 chips for large hands

[hallow forge]

Meanwhile I have a blind which sets your chips to 0 and mult to 1

[zealous glen]

I mean, I don't think it makes much of a difference

[sly forge]

Also, min ante at least 2, I guess

it matters a whole lot

If every blind is the club, you just ignore clubs

[hallow forge]

Of course it does, you can prepare better if you know what’s to come.

[royal ridge]

i personally don't think the blind is that bad but i think this is a bad method of balance testing lol

maybe i'm just a hierophant addict

[hallow forge]

I tend to test my blinds by just playing runs until it shows up

[sly forge]

see, this is why I don't give balance advice...

[zealous glen]

I mean, what are you ignoring here

[sly forge]

take odd todd and hold onto it

[zealous glen]

That's normal gameplay

[hallow forge]

Planets are less important

[zealous glen]

also I beat it with Shoot the Moon and Baron

[royal ridge]

planets 😭

[hallow forge]

You have less inclination to take those

[zealous glen]

I thought you'd have more inclination

That's what I tried to do

[hallow forge]

See, you changed your behavior to adapt to the worm

[sly forge]

maybe you haven't noticed, but shoot the moon is really powerful. you don't even need the baron

but, if you get the plant...

[zealous glen]

I agree, it's just that from that observation and from mental math it doesn't seem as bad as it seems

[sly forge]

that's like saying "from observation, the flint isn't so bad"

[hallow forge]

Additionally you know no other blind is coming

[sly forge]

it's the uncommon case, not the common one that matters for a boss blind. it can't be too cruel

[zealous glen]

I'm not saying conditional information doesn't allow for better optimization, just that I think optimizing for The Worm is 99% "play the game normally"

[royal ridge]

nukes my level 12 straight gold stake runs for sure

[sly forge]

I'd say it's only about 50%

[hallow forge]

I’d disagree you rely on base chips less

Which impacts planets

[crisp coral]

you people playtest stuff?

[zealous glen]

this beat it in one hand, also the next shop has Shoot the Moon again lol

[crisp coral]

ngl i never playtested any of mystblinds

[zealous glen]

tbh I'd prefer to release the mod in a beta state to get playtesting

I mostly just test if it works and sometimes I get carried away playing Balatro

[royal ridge]

TRUE

[hallow forge]

You gotta at least play the blind once to get a feel for how damaging/non-damaging it can be

[crisp coral]

and the only blind i got complaints for so far is The Center

[zealous glen]

That's what I did

[hallow forge]

in a NORMAL run

[crisp coral]

too bad i don't playtest lol

[sly forge]

oh, you want complaints? the food and fruit were showing up too often, though you can't really do much about that. The Bird, though, I've disabled, sorry. throwing random stickers on jokers early on is pretty devastating

[crisp coral]

thank you for throwing me complaints

[hallow forge]

I like making difficult blinds

[crisp coral]

the one with odd debuffing i've set to a1 because there are many ways to make even ranked hands imo

even is a lot more rough

for waso idk how i could rework it while still keeping a sticker gimmick

[wild gyro]

we know

[crisp coral]

do you want to be hired to come up with ideas for lobcorp blinds

[sly forge]

it's eternal and rental that are problems early on. it should be annoying but not unmanageable, applying eternal for 5 rounds, or something

[hallow forge]

I’ll help if u need it

[sly forge]

hey, I don't mind making difficult stuff. but I very much am of the philosophy that good balance = good fun and replayability

I am very much a stickler for balance

[crisp coral]

i'm not aiming for difficulty in mystblinds so i'll look into reworking that

[royal ridge]

balatro prioritises fun > balance in some occasions (blueprint)

[sly forge]

yes, and that's rare... and Balatro is balanced at a "nicer" level than you really think

[royal ridge]

but yeah, when balancing jokers/blinds, i try to consider every vanilla thing and try not to powercreep anything

[zealous glen]

Roguelike players when a rare build is good:

"What is consistency?"

[sly forge]

sorry, my tone is off. I am debating, not making aggressive statements

[royal ridge]

maaybe a little powercreep for mods is fun? but i try to avoid it anyway

[wild gyro]

blueprint is actually pretty balanced honestly. its only as good as your best joker and is rare. not to say its not the best in the game but i wouldnt call it unbalanced

canvas though

[crisp coral]

we don't talk about canvas

[hallow forge]

Cryptid isn’t meant to have balance

[wild gyro]

yeah

[royal ridge]

blueprint can act as copies of multiple jokers in some cases

but you're right, early blueprint does not solo

[zealous glen]

What is the right way of adding cards directly to the deck?

[sly forge]

check emplace()?

[zealous glen]

that's what I did

[sly forge]

ah, then it's hard to say without context, dm me

[zealous glen]

But I have 59/52 cards and they don't show up in the deck screen

[sly forge]

theres a bit of setup and other function calls

[zealous glen]

This is what I did

[sly forge]

hm, your card is already in the deck with emplace()?

[crisp coral]

check shit like Marble Joker or Certificate

[sly forge]

have you checked out marble joker

[zealous glen]

Wait, that last one should be G.playing_cards

That's where I copied from

But I changed G.playing_cards

[crisp coral]

G.playing_cards is the table with all cards you have

G.playing_card is just a counter

iirc

[zealous glen]

still doesn't work

[zealous glen]

I don't think any effect adds to the deck directly

[sly forge]

does Marble Joker not add to the deck????

[zealous glen]

It adds to G.play

Oh, and then it draws to the deck

[sly forge]

You may wish to display the Stone card before adding it to the deck like Marble Joker

[zealous glen]

I did want to do that

[sly forge]

just copy Marble Joker, but make sure you put all 7 stone cards into the deck at once at the end

[zealous glen]

it seems to work

Now I have to decide between 7 or 13

[sly forge]

uh, I definitely wouldn't do 13 if you're talking about balance

you will probably never recover from 13

[zealous glen]

I could also make it a Blank (Dis)enhancement, but I do like Stone cards have uses

[sly forge]

also, the effect of the blind is permanent and possibly run-changing, maybe extremely beneficial at times. from a design perspective, this is actually great! but the blind should probably be rarer

[zealous glen]

I don't think there's a rarity control, and to be honest I'm not sure I support the idea

[austere charm]

Deck fixing issues? Just add 13 stone cards to the deck
13 stone cards all at once
You definitely won't regret 13 stone cards

[zealous glen]

I already dislike minimum and maximum Antes, although I understand it makes sense for specific effects

[sly forge]

the problem is that if a run-changing effect is too common, you start thinking about it all the time and things may get samey

[zealous glen]

Just add more Blinds

[sly forge]

well yeah. it's the same problem with mystblinds' food + fruit, they just showed up a bit too often. it's not really a balance problem but a minor design problem

pretty minor all in all

[zealous glen]

Now I'm curious what you'd think of The Root

[sly forge]

the radical from Mathblinds? sorry?

[zealous glen]

#1170704202025152585 message ||(I'm not implementing it lol)||

[sly forge]

seems fine in terms of balance

so, yeah, there are design sensibilities at play. but, these are mods, so I actually don't mind wacky designs, as long as it isn't too extreme

[wild gyro]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1170472111995879504 i forgot i made this

[zealous glen]

The Rock is over a year old huh https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1170343625226461264

[wintry solar]

the best thing about extreme mods is I just don't have to install them

[sly forge]

ok, if I'm trying hard to debate this point, I guess there is a problem with extreme mods that don't have a balanced mode: if too much community effort is monopolized by those extreme mods, you essentially "lock out" people in the community who dislike that style of mod

(not a problem right now)

[zealous glen]

I mean, if people like making X type of mods, good for them

I don't think there's an issue in that situation

[wintry solar]

I do find it strange how everyone is having to debug their mod to work with cryptid/talisman because of the changes they make to make things extreme

[sly forge]

it's more talisman that is the problem, and talisman is more about not having limits on score rather than directly making extreme scores. and cryptid is just really big

so it steps on other mods' toes

[frosty dock]

just have a chance roll in in_pool

[sly forge]

it's just that those mods have code with pervasive effects

[zealous glen]

I mean, no one is forced to if they don't want

[hallow forge]

Ohh talisman discussion

[wintry solar]

You're right, no one is forced to, but there's a lot of people who just post error reports and say they need to support talisman

[royal ridge]

cryptid is the calamity mod of balatro

[hallow forge]

Dw it’s gonna get worse

[zealous glen]

And I modder can just say "no thanks"

[sly forge]

they are not forced, but I meant something specific when I said "community support"; that term implies a shared/common pool resource (economics, anyone?), and tragedy of the commons can apply to it

participation effects, etc. lots to say

[hallow forge]

Nobody is forced to use 1.0.0 yet people do anyway

[sly forge]

we have a good community here, and everyone is affected by and affects the community

[night pagoda]

I like when it comes to mods people always compare them to being either calamitylike or thoriumlike

[zealous glen]

Unless you're talking about Steamodded as the main API I still don't see your point

[royal ridge]

the intrusive thoughts kicked in

[zealous glen]

I mean, it's the main API which makes modding easier on both developer and user sides

[sly forge]

there is no formal sharing of community effort, but there is a shared social structure that does affect the users

[hallow forge]

Yeah but it’s not stable as far as I know

[frosty dock]

a lot of it is stable

[zealous glen]

what ever is

[frosty dock]

but a lot of it also doesn't have docs yet

but 0.9.8 never had finished docs either

[sly forge]

man, docs. I'm busy fixing bugs; I already did my part to revise the current existing docs

[frosty dock]

either way it's not "stable" in the sense that it's still changing rapidly

[wintry solar]

1.0 has more docs than 0.9.8

[frosty dock]

I can hopefully make some progress on docs next week after I'm done with my oral exams

[maiden phoenix]

Aure about to rap in his oral

[frosty dock]

lol sure

not sure it'd help my grade though

[solid salmon]

How do I make my card pack give all the card types?

[sly forge]

that'll require some extra work. check out reverie, maybe

[quasi kettle]

How do I make it so I can generate a specific joker? (I know how to generate a random one)

[sly forge]

have you been using create_card() for a random joker? then, try looking at create_card() for how that works, to figure it out for yourself

if you need help message me

[zealous glen]

I’d also like to know, maybe

[sly forge]

check out reverie

[zealous glen]

Ideally I’d have a pool comprised of different object types

Specific ones

[sly forge]

you basically will have to construct a table with all the objects yourself

I believe that's what Reverie does?

[zealous glen]

Hmmm

[sly forge]

if you want a 2-level check: type, then object, then you can implement that yourself, again

[lusty epoch]

Does anyone know how to make text move up and down like the Mr. Bones self destruct text

[zealous glen]

Second to last argument if create_card with the respective key

[zealous glen]

E:2

[lusty epoch]

alr thanks

[lusty epoch]

adding on to this: Cryptid has jokers that do this if you need some examples

and it overrides createcard so maybe look at that too

[zealous glen]

Thank you

[quasi kettle]

thanks

[solid salmon]

How do I do that?

[sly forge]

check out reverie's code first

[solid salmon]

Ok

[solid salmon]

i found it

[fallen tendon]

anyone know how to increase the rate of negative cards specifically?

[wintry solar]

you can adjust their weight

do you just want to blanket increase them across the game?

[fallen tendon]

yeah

im having way too many issues with this deck s0o imma do something else though rn

[solid salmon]

somethings wrong with my voucher pack

[austere charm]

looks like there's a problem with the override of create_card

either that or the function has been called improperly

[solid salmon]

well i don't know how to do it properly

[wintry solar]

it's always this one with goku

[solid salmon]

is that supposed to be a bad thing

[edgy reef]

It is.

[solid salmon]

which one

[edgy reef]

create_card doesn’t accept multiple types, only one.

[solid salmon]

then what does accept multiple types?

[fallen tendon]

how do you fix the shader profiling error when you change the name of the shader?

[solid salmon]

you don't

well you can

[wintry solar]

how do you mean?

[solid salmon]

but you have to change every name in the shader to match that

[fallen tendon]

i get this when i open the edition menu after renaming my shader

[solid salmon]

yeah

the shaders has it's name inside to match the outside

[fallen tendon]

i am not takind advice from you

[solid salmon]

i had the same problem too

[fallen tendon]

well i guess that is it then lol

im sorry

[wintry solar]

yes goku is right

you need to change the name inside the shader too

because the game passes some information to the variable that is the same as your shader name

[solid salmon]

dude i was literally making editions and the shaders

how could i not know

anyways

this

makes me pay for the vouchers inside it

i could ask betmma

but i don't think it would work because his packs are outdated

[royal ether]

patch card:redeem if you dont want vouchers to cost money from a pack

[solid salmon]

where do i put that

[fallen tendon]

im kinda colorblind, is this purple?

[solid salmon]

yes

[edgy reef]

No it’s green 💚

[solid salmon]

are you colorblind

[edgy reef]

(no)

[solid salmon]

ok

[fallen tendon]

actually please

i cant tell if its blue or purple

[solid salmon]

PURPLE

[fallen tendon]

ty

[solid salmon]

yw

[edgy reef]

Wait it wasn’t a joke 😭

Fml

[solid salmon]

oh no

[fallen tendon]

LOL

im actually colorblind

protanopia

my main pairs of colors i struggle to distinguish are yellow and bright green, orange and dark green, blue and purple, and cyan and white

[solid salmon]

it's a good thing im not

so i can help

wait Alex what are you making?

[fallen tendon]

edition for cryptid

[solid salmon]

astral

[wintry solar]

it looks good

[solid salmon]

if secondary shaders became supported

you could add stars

[mellow sable]

Couldn’t you just add those after applying the first shader

[solid salmon]

i tried

it didn't work

[wintry solar]

well that was easy

thrown it in a PR for smods for someone with write access to take a look at

[fallen tendon]

how would i add a texture as an extern to a shader?

[wintry solar]

G.SHADERS[_shader or 'dissolve']:send('mouse_screen_pos', self.ARGS.prep_shader.cursor_pos) this is how you format sending stuff

I'm not sure what type you'll need to set in your shader for a texture though

[stray warren]

How do you grab the current total chip value? I know about chip_mod for modifying the chips, but how do I access the actual current chip value?

[fallen tendon]

guess astral isnt getting stars

[wintry solar]

you could draw them inside the shader

[fallen tendon]

no way jose

too much math

how do i do that thing where every joker in the collection has your shader?

[solid salmon]

7 tarots

[wintry solar]

hook card:draw and draw your shader on everything

[solid salmon]

look it's the solar system

-saturn

and neptune

[fallen tendon]

how do i do the drawing shader part?

[mellow sable]

For now…

[wintry solar]

@fallen tendon self.children.center:draw_shader(shader_key, nil, self.ARGS.send_to_shader)

[fallen tendon]

im running into another issue

this is an ^mult edition

i have no clue how to make it actually calculate the ^mult

[wintry solar]

don't look at me I just make things look pretty

[solid salmon]

I added the size Wumbo to the booster packs

[mellow sable]

Look at the patch for XChips in Misc.toml

[fallen tendon]

tried converting it to pow_mult

didnt work

can you pinpoint whats wrong about this?

[mellow sable]

you didn't change everything from mosaic to astral

@fallen tendon

[fallen tendon]

thanks

well thats fun

@mellow sable

[mellow sable]

Idk why it’s nil

[brisk pond]

forgive me for my sins

how do i do Xchips?

[solid salmon]

on a scale of screwed to fine how stable is jellymod

[royal ether]

beyond screwed

[solid salmon]

damn

[stray warren]

I also kind of want to know, but I don't know how to get the current chip value to multiply

[oblique gust]

bunco and cryptid both got Xchips editions

(mosaic is just boosted glitter)

[stray warren]

I looked into those, but couldn't figure out where they got the Xchip_mod reference from

[sonic mortar]

because Xchip is not a vanilla operation, they had to be programmed in

[austere charm]

yeah, chips are never multiplied in vanilla as a way to differentiate them from mult, chips are only additive

[maiden phoenix]

What exactly is the "overwrite" parameter for in a lovely.toml file?

[solid salmon]

help

my computer just deleted lovely

[vivid eagle]

yup that happens
gotta reinstall it

[solid salmon]

where

[vivid eagle]

then maybe whitelist it so windows doesn't nuke it again

[solid salmon]

how?

[fast badge]

the same spot where you installed it

[zealous glen]

It overwrites the line it’s aimed at

[maiden phoenix]

What happens if it's set to "at" but overwrite is set to "false"?

[solid salmon]

i got it

[vivid eagle]

ah gotcha

[zealous glen]

Idk

[frosty dock]

redundant, unused, irrelevant

it does nothing

[maiden phoenix]

Wow that's a lot of words to describe it's usefulness 😅

Do you know what a set is?

[hallow forge]

That should use local variables

And say “1 in 3”

[solid salmon]

im just making sure it appears

would this work

[hallow forge]

*2

[solid salmon]

what?

[hallow forge]

in loc_vards

also no this will not work

[solid salmon]

i can't even use it

[hallow forge]

you need a #1# in #2# and not 1 in 3

[fast badge]

what is blud doing

[solid salmon]

making 1 in 3 that isn't hard coded

[fast badge]

Yeah show your code my guy

[hallow forge]

you are failing

[fast badge]

clearly

[hallow forge]

well

[fast badge]

probably did #1# in #3#

[hallow forge]

lol

[fast badge]

and #2# in #3#

to explain: #1# and #2# are the placeholders for your loc_vars

[solid salmon]

so what i just remove #3#

and replace it with 3

[fast badge]

you do what Mathguy told you

[solid salmon]

im trying to make 1 in 3

not 1 in 2

[fast badge]

i have no clue what you pass in your loc_vars

[solid salmon]

#2# is 2

[fast badge]

well thats on you what #2# is

[hallow forge]

thats cuz you can't type

your loc vars second variable should be 3

as in just 3

[fast badge]

shots fired

[solid salmon]

no im making 2 chances

1 in 3

and 2 in 3

[hallow forge]

ah

[solid salmon]

bruh

[hallow forge]

so you need three variables

[fast badge]

then #3# should be 3

aka your third var

or your hardcode it

doesnt matter atp

[hallow forge]

it's better practice to make it a loc_var tho

[solid salmon]

it works now

how do i make it usable

[fast badge]

hurray

[hallow forge]

can_use

[solid salmon]

do i put true in that?

[hallow forge]

return true

function() return true end

[solid salmon]

huh

[fast badge]

mfw

youre overloading his last two braincells Mathguy

watch out

[solid salmon]

jeez

[hallow forge]

can_use = function() return true end,

[solid salmon]

how was i supposed to know that?

[fast badge]

braincells

[solid salmon]

well now i know so thank you

[hallow forge]

np

[solid salmon]

i works perfectly

[crisp coral]

me when i get an oa6 and my chances become 2/3 to lose a hand and 4/3 to gain one

[solid salmon]

is there a way to make it unchangable

[fast badge]

||hardcode||

[hallow forge]

just don't add the g.GAMe. probs.uhhhhh thing

vars would just be {1,2,3}

[brisk pond]

is there some Debug option to debuff a joker, so I can check its abilities when debuffed?

[solid salmon]

so remove the probability part

[hallow forge]

yes

[solid salmon]

okay

[crisp coral]

yea, it's called Crimson Heart

(no)

[solid salmon]

and how do i make sure only one of it happens?

[crisp coral]

have you considered

else

[solid salmon]

i did

then forgor

oh wait it's because red squiggly line

[hallow forge]

just use your old wording with "otherwise".

[solid salmon]

i never used else

[hallow forge]

ok

[brisk pond]

do you want this to be affected by Oops all 6s?

[solid salmon]

no

[hallow forge]

else, not elseif pseudorandom('blue_and_red') < 2/3

[solid salmon]

ok

[brisk pond]

if pseudorandom() < 1/3 then
  stuff
else
  otherstuff
end

[solid salmon]

like this

[hallow forge]

do you know lua well?

[solid salmon]

50/50

[hallow forge]

also im notice a lack of an end there

[hallow forge]

it's a yes or no

[brisk pond]

I just do ease_discard without the G.GAME stuff, @hallow forge knows better than me

[hallow forge]

no they are permantly changing the hands/discards per round

[crisp coral]

ease_discard is temporary

[brisk pond]

oh ok

[solid salmon]

if i add another end then it will become red

[brisk pond]

I didn't know that was the purpose of the card

[brisk pond]

the end is at line 45, just indent it

[solid salmon]

ok

i already did

[brisk pond]

also, shouldn't you check if hands/discards >= 1? Otherwise Discard = -1 could happen

[solid salmon]

i think it's fine

also hand -1 is the only thing that can happen

(trust me i checked)

[brisk pond]

🆗

[hallow forge]

make sure to add a check at start of round for if you have 0 hands

because that should lose the round

[solid salmon]

i never used a check before

[hallow forge]

what

[crisp coral]

what

[solid salmon]

wait

https://tenor.com/view/mmhmm-mmhm-gif-8299952145522411766

um

[hallow forge]

we're waiting

[solid salmon]

what

[hallow forge]

you said "wait"

[solid salmon]

i just need a reminder

because i may have done it but forgotten

[hallow forge]

you forgot what "check" means?

[solid salmon]

ye

[hallow forge]

to perform a test for it something is correct

[solid salmon]

oh

i never did that

like if you mean

[crisp coral]

god

[solid salmon]

manually going in the game to see if it works

[hallow forge]

i don't think i can help you

[solid salmon]

💀

[brisk pond]

what?

[crisp coral]

ping.

[solid salmon]

what..

[hallow forge]

myst doesn't like getting ping replied

[solid salmon]

oh no

the rule

(unspoken but still there)

[hallow forge]

pretty visible if u ask me

[solid salmon]

i still remember

[brisk pond]

I didn't remember it was you because of the pic change

[solid salmon]

bruh

the name is almost the same

[solid salmon]

also why'd you change your name

[hallow forge]

joke

[solid salmon]

oh
