I got this Joker that adds 20 chips at every scored card.

brisk pond
`card = card`
I'll never understand how this code works
frosty dock
self in Card:calculate_joker() is actually passed to calculate as card, self is the center proto object, not the card itself
frosty dock
just replace card = self with card = card
solid salmon
hey is there a consumable version of card.ability.extra?
austere charm
I'll never understand how this code works
the first card is the key name in the {} object that is being returned, the second card is the actual card passed in the function parameters just above
an object in lua is defined like {key1 = value1, key2 = value2, etc.}
where keys are strings, just pieces of text, while the values can be anything lua allows
crisp coral
hey is there a consumable version of card.ability.extra?
yes, it's the same as jokers

languid mirage
https://tenor.com/view/nothing-the-office-steve-carell-i-understand-nothing-gif-...
self in that context is basically the joker instance (that you create with SMODS.Joker{}). It only exists in the **steamodded **and is different from a Card instance (which is how any card is represented within the game, so jokers, playing cards, consumables etc.)
learned that the hard way

Does using 1/2 like that work? I think it might, but it's usually better practice to type it out explicitly as 0.5
crisp coral
technically works but i'd wrap it in parentheses if i were to do that
maiden phoenix
Also why do you even use loc_vars if you have no variables in your text?
languid mirage

That's kinda redundant, comparators should have lower priority than arithmetical operators

Are you creating your own mod? Or just trying to load someone elses?
regal wolf
Well then it's crashing because you're attempting to index a nil value.
solid salmon
which is?

You're passing a nil argument into some function or calculation when it's expecting something else.
Lua method 'set_sprites' at file 'card.lua:166'

zealous glen
Out-of-curiosity, how would you implement an effect that adds an extra repetition but with a percentage effectiveness?
I have some ideas but they don’t sound great
wintry solar
are you aware how to add an extra repetition?
zealous glen
are you aware how to add an extra repetition?
I mean, yes, but I'd like to check that for the repetition from this specific source it behaves differently
wintry solar
can you not send an extra repetition from the source when required/
zealous glen
what do you mean?
regal wolf
have a look how brainstorm/blueprint works
I'm pretty sure they have a flag, which indicates the action is from them.
iirc
wintry solar
do your calculation in the joker and then return the correct number of repetitions
zealous glen
Blueprint and Brainstorm don't create repetitions
regal wolf
so u could just check if the action is from your joker, and then calculate some sort of % decrease
how wdym then
zealous glen
Seltzer creates repetitions
regal wolf
Blueprint and brainstorm have the effect of retriggering a joker.
zealous glen
do your calculation in the joker and then return the correct number of repetitio...
The number of repetitions is 1
zealous glen
Blueprint and brainstorm have the effect of retriggering a joker.
No, they have the effect of copying a Joker
zealous glen
What do you think that word means
wintry solar
The number of repetitions is 1
but only some of the time?
regal wolf
What do you think that word means
jesus ur so self-righteous
if u want ppl to help u, you should try being a bit nicer lol
zealous glen
but only some of the time?
All the time
zealous glen
But the repetition has partial effectiveness
zealous glen
Maybe, which is why I'm asking for ideas
In principle I can hook the functions that evaluate Chips, Mult, etc. and check for a global variable in them
I think that's the idea that uses the least injections/overwrites, and, while not nice looking, might work
wintry solar
all the calculation is done within the stack though, the functions are given a final value and just update it
zealous glen
(Although that would make the card_eval_status_texts incorrect)
zealous glen
all the calculation is done within the stack though, the functions are given a f...
I mean, do I need to change anything else? The effects are collected into a table and then processed.
wintry solar
yes, but you can't hook the functions, assuming you mean mod_mult etc.
zealous glen
I can't?
wintry solar
they're just passed the calculated value
mod_mult(mult + effects[ii].mult)
funnily, the mod_mult function doesn't actually do anything too
zealous glen
Yeah, and inside them I multiply them by a value if some global is true
wintry solar
but that's going to multiply the previous value too
so you're applying your scalar more than once to each increment
mellow sable
Out-of-curiosity, how would you implement an effect that adds an extra repetitio...
Look at how Boredom does this in Cryptid
zealous glen
What does Boredom do?
mellow sable
1 in 2 chance to retrigger each played card or Joker
Basically I just return 1 retrigger with a 50% chance
zealous glen
See, I wanted to reduce the effectiveness to make it deterministic
Rather than random
solid salmon
mellow sable
So like every other?
zealous glen
Though I’ll test if the effect with integer retriggers is too strong before committing to partial effectiveness
mellow sable
You could probably use a counter instead of RNG
solid salmon
this puts me in debt
zealous glen
So like every other?
Like multiplying the Chips, Mult, etc. by a number
solid salmon
as in decimal money
mellow sable
Like multiplying the Chips, Mult, etc. by a number
Oh
zealous glen
The original idea started at 0.25 and increased by 0.25 per level, but in hindsight that might be too slow
Maybe I’ll do 0.5 for both
Anyways, I just made a broken Joker to test a future Enhancement effect so maybe Cryptid will like it @mellow sable
(unrelated)
mellow sable
Feel free to make a PR with it!
zealous glen
I mean, if you find it interesting 😅
mellow sable
What’s the effect?
Sorry if I’m like half distracted since watching Balatro on SGDQ
zealous glen
So, the Enhancement would make it so when a card is destroyed, it grants its Chips to cards in hand. So the Joker does that but it’s also Trading Card for every hand
mellow sable
That sounds awesome
zealous glen
I’m getting almost 10,000 Chips per hand. Not the hand score. Chips.
zealous glen
Oh the Joker itself doesn’t gain anything

do you want to use 0.9.8 or 1.0.0

0.9.8 is not compatible with 1.0.0 mods, and 1.0.0 has compat with 0.9.8 but it's not stable

ill see if any of my mods break when i install it quickly

feder api isn't even its own thing anymore?
a bunch of the 0.9.8 apis come from it though
fallen tendon
Honestly you should prob switch to 1.0.0, its getting close to release
Theres already a sizable amount of 1.0.0 mods
hushed cradle
if i stay with 1.0.0 is there any easy way for me to add my own stuff to the game?
solemn coral
Yes, absolutely.
You'll proably need to learn a bit of Lua to do so, but Lua's an easy language to pick up, and from my experience adding new things in 1.0.0 is much easier than it was in 0.9.8.
hushed cradle
cool
are there any resources for making it easier
like the api thing i was trying to use

This is the current documentation for 1.0.0
Anything in the table of contents with a number in front of it is part of the new docs, while the entries below it are for the old 0.9.8 docs

hey @frosty dock do u happen to know how to update the G.CHALLENGES cache thats used to generate UI for challenge tab?
updating G.CHALLENGES doesn't do it. It must be something that's happening on game initialization. Because my changes to G.CHALLENGES only apply to the UI on game restart.
frosty dock
the challenge API was an extremely straightforward addition to steamodded iirc
frosty dock
ah I haven't messed with that, let me see then
regal wolf
yeah
challenge API is easy, its just updating the UI elements dynamically which is a problem
regal wolf
i mean, depends whats possible
but currently its not updating at all
while the game is open
you have to restart, for it to update
even though G.CHALLENGES is what is being used to get the data for the UI. and G.CHALLENGES is being updated dynamically.
frosty dock
if you're fully restarting the game, where is the data in G.CHALLENGES coming from?
regal wolf
I'm p sure it wont be possible w out a massive rewrite for the challenge data to be updated dynamically while the UI is open, but even just on the main menu it wont updat ,.

Could anyone explain why this gives an error, which is
attempt to call method 'juice_up' (a nil value)?
It makes it to the debug message and sends checked, so my best guess is something to do with "card = self",
local suit_check = card.ability.extra.cur_suit
if context.other_card:is_suit(suit_check) then
sendDebugMessage('checked')
return{
message = localize{'k_again_ex'},

I think I made the Swashbuckler happy with this run

zealous glen
I think it’s balanced /serious
solemn coral
Honestly without Swashbuckler in the mix it does feel relatively balanced
Compared to other uncommon econ jokers like Rough Gem, Lightning Rook does have a greater payout, but it needs to be sold to actually cash in that money
crisp coral
on the other hand, that's at most $25 per hand
solemn coral
If you've managed to get your hand to the point where you can consistently play that, you've pretty much won already
I found that even with trying to pick up as many aces as I could, I only averaged $10-$15 per round.
languid mirage
on the other hand, that's at most *$25* per hand
Retriggers exist
Which affect all econ jokers on scoring, I guess
crisp coral

I think comparing it to other economy Jokers like Cloud Nine and whatever the Face card one was suggests it’s balanced
It’s more restrictive, and slower

Hey guys, new to balatro modding - what am I missing about showing messages during joker calc? I got this:
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.using_consumeable and (context.consumeable.ability.set == "Tarot") and not context.blueprint then
new_chip_val = card.ability.extra.chips - card.ability.extra.chip_mod
if (new_chip_val > 0) then
card.ability.extra.chips = new_chip_val
return {
message = "AAA",
colour = G.C.CHIPS
}
else
...
after running thru this block, i can see that my joker's chip state has changed, but I never get the message
crisp coral
because all messages must be a return from the localize function
willow quiver
ive also tried
return {
message = localize {
type = 'variable',
key = 'a_chips_minus',
vars = {card.ability.extra.chip_mod}
},
colour = G.C.CHIPS
}
to no avail
frosty dock
should be in the return
look at base game joker effects for reference
(minus the change that every self in vanilla calculate_joker becomes card in Steamodded)
willow quiver
^speaking of, it took me way too long to realize that too
i know there's a table explaining the diff in the wiki but might be good to call that incongruency with the OG code more explicitly? or i missed it
Anyway, feeling stumped bc I feel like this is sooo close to what Ice Cream calc does already. I just cant figure out what would be different
zealous glen
because all messages must be a return from the ``localize`` function
They don’t have to
There’s no difference between a string and a string
willow quiver
localize just rets a string right
zealous glen
AFAIK yes
Maybe sometimes it has no return?
I vaguely recall it doing in-place substitution
But maybe it was another function
zealous glen
ive also tried
```lua

- Does
a_chip_minusexist?; and 2) When this context is originally called, does the game pass the result tocard_eval_status_text?
willow quiver
it exists in one place, ice cream, which i was mimicking
but ive tried other keys too
zealous glen
What about 2?
willow quiver
thats a new name to me, ill have to look
(in other news, just confirmed
calculate = function(self, card, context)
return {
message = 'AAA',
colour = G.C.CHIPS
}
also does nothing, so im really doing smth wrong)

frosty dock
wdym, like I said you can get the center from any Card as card.config.center
frosty dock
lmao dw
languid mirage
Probably want to check if Center exists
languid mirage
Ah, I see
brisk pond
mod does not
mod exists only if it's modded?
frosty dock
yeah
brisk pond
pretty straightforward
frosty dock
use self in any mod API functions, the other variant will do otherwise
languid mirage
so basically is this?
Where do you have that code btw
I don't think using self there makes sense
brisk pond
In a temp file so I don't forget it
languid mirage
Ah lol
frosty dock
though print(card.config.center.mod.id) will break on vanilla cards
brisk pond
so basically is this?
See, I have this Joker that is similiar to Baseball card, but only with PT Jokers
so I have to check if other_joker is PT
frosty dock
yeah you'll want config.center then
brisk pond
i suppose context.other_joker is the card's value of the other jokers
I have a question about context.other_joker in general: does it iterate on the calculating joker itself?
Like: if I have 3 Jokers and the first one has context.other_joker inside it, will it iterate on all 3 Jokers or only on the other 2?
frosty dock
the way that works is that after a joker's main calculation, it's sent as other_joker to all other jokers, including itself
brisk pond
okok
Last question (both you and I know this is a lie)
What is the purpose of G.E_MANAGER:add_event()
I had juice_up() in my joker's context.individual and it was juicing up right after I hit "Play hand". I put this instead and everything goes fine, the timing and all
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
_card:juice_up(0.5, 0.5)
return true
end
}))
So basically, all joker calculation happens when you hit play hand, but the event manager manages the order and timing of the visual effects after the calculation is done
crisp coral
events are like a queue, when you add an event it doesn't trigger until all events before it are finished
brisk pond
got it
so maybe this can help my mod
I have this function that basically acts like a return{chips, card} but can be put inside the body of the calculate function and it adds the Chips.
My problem is that it activates before all other jokers (including the ones at the left) and even before the normal +Chips of the cards.
royal ether
put update_hand_text in an event, probably
brisk pond
put update_hand_text in an event, probably
Did that, the joker still acts first than the scoring card. Now the update_hand_text happens after the total scoring making the 204x0
royal ether
you probably have to mess with blocking and blockable parameters
for the event
and maybe just put the entire thing in an event
idk
brisk pond
if you say "put everything under an Event" i tried that
brisk pond
if you say "put everything under an Event" i tried that
I had this message ready
brisk pond
you probably have to mess with blocking and blockable parameters
i don't know what they are
royal ether
the function is as the name implies
if its blocking, it blocks other events until its done
if its not blockable, it'll ignore blocking events
brisk pond
events are like a queue, when you add an event it doesn't trigger until all even...
the problem with this G.E_MANAGER:add_event() is that it adds the event too late in the queue
for reference, the joker is basically this
brisk pond
I have this function that basically acts like a `return{chips, card}` but can be...
I still need to figure out why the juice up Event is timed perfectly and if I put all this in an event then it is executed after the total score
rough furnace
Try looking at the code for juice up
royal ether
you need to inject if you want it to happen after the playing card is scored
you can see how the queue is formed & operated on in state_events.lua:688
brisk pond
yeah basically all calculate jokers return their effects and state_events.lua puts them in a table called effects
royal ether
yea
brisk pond
and then iterate on every effect one by one
royal ether
you need to inject the section of code where it iterates through effects
im thinking you basically make a second effects list that your functions add to
but there might be a different solution
brisk pond
I think I need to inject at line 803, with a variable that is populated by the aChips() function, and then the game pulls from that variable and adds to the effects table
royal ether
you probably need to inject in all the different contexts
effects is overwritten between card areas
brisk pond
you probably need to inject in all the different contexts
not really, imo
When context is different than individual the jokers act as intended
here i'll show you
royal ether
yea but if you inject there it'll have no effect on the video you sent earlier
brisk pond
royal ether
rather, it would make it worse
brisk pond
yea but if you inject there it'll have no effect on the video you sent earlier
and why is that?
royal ether
it would do the effects at the start of scoring G.hand
brisk pond
Joker's calculate for reference
royal ether
so it would go card->blue joker->card->blue joker->card->blue joker->your joker->your joker->your joker
languid mirage
you have no idea how much i need this
brisk pond
it would do the effects at the start of scoring G.hand
isn't the base game working like this? state_effects.lua:796-803
The game calls calculate_joker with context.individual and saves the return values in local eval, then if eval contains something, it is added inside the effects table
royal ether
yes but effects is cleared after each card area
brisk pond
Yeah, but I'll just need to add to the individual's effects table
royal ether
there are multiple context.individuals, one for each card area
if you put it in the spot you sent earlier, it'll be only for G.hand's effects
brisk pond
so inside the aChips(), I'll do if context.individual and cardarea == G.play then
brisk pond
if you put it in the spot you sent earlier, it'll be only for G.hand's effects
ohhhh so line 691 too
royal ether
but what if someone wants to add chips for cards in hand?
brisk pond
so inside the `aChips()`, I'll do `if context.individual and cardarea == G.play ...
ignore bad syntax
royal ether
youd needa add a new parameter to aChips for which cardarea its happening in
and your other scoring functions
brisk pond
youd needa add a new parameter to aChips for which cardarea its happening in
i'll take it from context

if i have it as legendary rarity can a soul card spawn it?

super late but yes. its a food joker
languid mirage
if i have it as legendary rarity can a soul card spawn it?
you need to specify soul when creating a joker instead, rarity does not matter for it
hushed cradle
i have it specified as soul cos i wanted it to be like hidden and rare
but didnt want it to spawn from soul cards
it spawns from a unique card im adding
i just made in_pool always return false and now the soul card wont spawn it
idk if theres a better way to do that
frosty dock
In 1.0, you can use hidden and soul_rate
frosty dock
that should do fine without in_pool
hushed cradle
ive done this so soul card wont spawn it
oh
i used a soul and it spawned my modded joker
its legendary rarity so im assuming thats why
frosty dock
hm that's tricky
frosty dock
what'd you do?
frosty dock
I mean in code, what did you change to make it work?
hushed cradle
i put the in_pool thing
hushed cradle
ive done this so soul card wont spawn it
this
hushed cradle
nah its all good
although the code looks funny
probably a better way to do it
but i suck at this
is there a way i can make a card show up in arcana and spectral packs?
frosty dock
The set of rules these follow is pretty simple. A soul card can show up when a soulable card is generated for:
- The card type of the soul card or
- the card type specified in
soul_set
So, if your card is a spectral, you should put soul_set = 'Tarot'
hushed cradle
my cards are a custom consumable type tho
frosty dock
currently not, but that's an arbitrary restriction
we could have it so you can pass soul_set as a table
hushed cradle
that would be cool
sly forge
the soul_set thing is actually not very extensible, it'll likely be reworked for 1.0
this is your chance to give feedback!
brisk pond
do you think this would implement an xChips?
--EZSC are injections in the code
The expected joker's ability would be "Each scoring card gives X2 Chips, this joker gives X1.5 Chips"
this is a demonstration of injecting inside the context.individual and cardarea == G.play, but the code blocks would be injected in every context
