ok thank you

[tepid egret]

how do you change the (display) name of a voucher? I tried G.P_CENTERS['voucher_name'].loc_txt.name = "newname" and that didnt work

the voucher i wanna change the name of is added with the steamodded API

[crisp coral]

the localization stuff is in G.localization.dictionary.Joker iirc

do a similar thing to how i changed the death quips

[tepid egret]

ohhh right i can just look at that

[crisp coral]

the stuff is in parse_localization or something like that

[tepid egret]

👍 thx for the help

[frosty dock]

descriptions, not dictionary

also replace Joker with Voucher for vouchers

[zealous glen]

Out of curiosity, to make a Boss Blind have a loc_var that depends on your run, how does one do it?

I looked at MystBlinds but I’m not sure it does it?

[frosty dock]

something like G.GAME and <value that depends on your run> or <default>

[zealous glen]

Do I need to do anything to account for it being in the collection or not?

The way MystBlinds did it (calling super.…) made me confused because I don’t understand if that’s necessary or if it’s something else

[crisp coral]

that is outdated

[crisp coral]

close enough

[south galleon]

hello, i wanna ask what is 'k' and 'v'? ive been looking at the source for a while and i dont know what it means

[gilded narwhal]

It's something about how lua does loops

Probably

[languid mirage]

key and value

[fallen tendon]

They are arguments for in pairs, which runs once for each entry in a table

[languid mirage]

you don't have to name them k and v

[fallen tendon]

K is the index of the entry and v is the actual value in the entry

[languid mirage]

https://www.lua.org/pil/4.3.5.html

https://www.lua.org/pil/4.3.4.html

also if key or value isn't used, it can be named as _

[south galleon]

dang, i still dont get it

[lofty igloo]

So I have a peculiar issue. When I add a joker, it uses what I presume to be a default picture for the joker. However, when I use the debug menu's unlock button, it will then show the texture I assigned it. Any ideas on what could cause this?

The code so far:

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'jokers',
    path = 'jokers.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}:register()

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'byers',
    rarity = 1,
    discovered = true,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    cost = 2,
    config = { extra = 10 },
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Byers',
        text = {
            '{C:inactive}{C:mult}+#1#{C:inactive} Mult'
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        if center then
            return { vars = { center.ability.extra } }
        end
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra,
                message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars={card.ability.extra}}
            }
        end
    end,
    atlas = 'jokers'
}

Furthermore, if I don't check for center in loc_vars, the game crashes because center is nil, also no clue why that is, I don't see any check like that in other mods.

[maiden phoenix]

You tried using a different name for the atlas? Also the last parameter in loc_vars should be card, not center

[lofty igloo]

I had it on card before, I'll change it back. And yeah, I tried using lumi_jokers as atlas name, I can try giving it an entirely different name to begin with

Okay, the crash is resolved now, so that's nice

The texture problem is still there.

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'thebabyisyou',
    path = 'jokers.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}:register()

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'byers',
    rarity = 1,
    discovered = true,
    atlas = 'thebabyisyou',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    cost = 2,
    config = { extra = 10 },
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Byers',
        text = {
            '{C:inactive}{C:mult}+#1#{C:inactive} Mult'
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        --- if card then
            return { vars = { card.ability.extra } }
        --- end
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra,
                message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars={card.ability.extra}}
            }
        end
    end
}

It's very odd, other mods like Cryptid work fine

I even removed all installed mods

Cause I thought maybe there's a patch that a different mod is applying

[frosty dock]

You shouldn't call register on your atlas anymore

[lofty igloo]

I added that because it wasn't working without it and I saw it in the Cryptid src

[mellow sable]

Yeah I don’t think register does anything anymore haha

[lofty igloo]

ye, still defaults

The fact that it displays just fine when I unlock it with Debug mode also tells me that the atlas is def loaded

And even if I add unlocked to the Joker definition, it still displays like that

[frosty dock]

just to be sure, what's the exact steamodded version you're using?

[lofty igloo]

1.0.0-ALPHA-0714a-STEAMODDED

git pulled it earlier because I thought it could be a bug

[gilded blaze]

I'm trying to find the cause to empty voucher slot text only appearing in English 😭

[lofty igloo]

*0715a now

[maiden phoenix]

Whats the path of your jokers.png?

[wintry solar]

What is your jokers.png?

[lofty igloo]

That pretty much

[wintry solar]

Is that not j_lumi_byers.png?

[lofty igloo]

It's both atm

Since the atlas is only 1 row with 1 col

I can add a placeholder 2nd joker to make it bigger

There we go

dual action

[maiden phoenix]

Is the size of Byers alone 71x95?

[lofty igloo]

Yeah

[gilded blaze]

I believe no one bothers to un-hardcode this thingy but me 💀
best I can do rn is to do a lovely patch for these prompts
other than that, I couldn't find anything related to limiting this function to English

[lofty igloo]

Atlas size with the double Byers is 142x95

[maiden phoenix]

Wait I can't see well, is Lumitro.lua inside the assets folder?

[lofty igloo]

No, it's in the root

[maiden phoenix]

Oh ok I was scared for a moment lol

[maiden phoenix]

What's atlas.py?

[lofty igloo]

My script to build the atlas

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import sys
from PIL import Image
import os
import time
import math

def build_atlas(input_images, out_file, output_size=(852, 950), image_size=(142, 190)):
    atlas = Image.new('RGBA', output_size, (0, 0, 0, 0))

    # Add each image to the atlas
    image_row = 0
    image_col = 0
    for image_path in input_images:
        print(f"Adding {image_path}")
        image = Image.open(image_path)
        atlas.paste(image, (image_col * image_size[0], image_row * image_size[1]))

        image_col += 1
        if image_col >= 6:
            image_col = 0
            image_row += 1

    # Save the atlas
    print(f"Saving {out_file}")
    atlas.save(out_file)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    if len(sys.argv) < 2:
        print("Usage: py atlas.py <output_file>")
        sys.exit(1)

    # get a list of all images in the input directory except for the output file
    output_file = sys.argv[1]
    x1_images = [os.path.join("assets/1x", f) for f in os.listdir("assets/1x") if f != output_file and f.endswith(".png")]
    x2_images = [os.path.join("assets/2x", f) for f in os.listdir("assets/2x") if f != output_file and f.endswith(".png")]

    # calculate the size of the atlas
    # only put 5 images per row
    x1_atlas_size = (
        # width, max should be 6 * 71 (because 6 images per row)
        min(426, min(len(x1_images), 6) * 71),
        # height, no limit
        max(math.ceil(len(x1_images) / 6), 1) * 95
    )

    x2_atlas_size = (
        min(852, min(len(x2_images), 6) * 142),
        max(math.ceil(len(x2_images) / 6), 1) * 190
    )

    build_atlas(x1_images, f'assets/1x/{output_file}', output_size=x1_atlas_size, image_size=(71, 95))
    build_atlas(x2_images, f'assets/2x/{output_file}', output_size=x2_atlas_size, image_size=(142, 190))

And resize.py is just resizing of 2x to 1x

[maiden phoenix]

Have you tried naming the atlas key and joker atlas to lumi_jokers, your path to lumi_jokers.png and the joker spritesheet to lumi_jokers.png ?

[lofty igloo]

Same stuff

When unlocking with debug, it shows the correct texture

before and after pressing 1

I bet it's something silly or easy

I'll go on lunch break rq and then I'll continue debugging this

[south galleon]

just a question, which lua file i can find the descriptions for the cards?

[frosty dock]

localization/en-us.lua, the English ones at least

[south galleon]

so like, if i wanna give a description for a joker, i have to go there?

[frosty dock]

yeah it's all in there

[south galleon]

alright thanks

[south galleon]

including the little descriptions for the mult cards and glass caards?

[frosty dock]

yeah

(almost) every last bit of text

[south galleon]

alright

another question, whats the difference between local and global

[opaque tendon]

is this approach acceptable?

23) Implement 25% of -1 amount of hands to the blinds and properly handle disabling the hand:


a) in blind.lua, add to the method function Blind:set_blind(blind, reset, silent):
---- add to:   if not reset then

        boss_hands_storage = nil or 0
        joker_already_sold = nil`
        

a) in blind.lua, add to the method function Blind:set_blind(blind, reset, silent):


    if self:get_type() == 'Boss' and not reset and not self.disabled and pseudorandom(pseudoseed('theneedle')) < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / 4 then 
        boss_hands_storage = 1
        ease_hands_played(-boss_hands_storage)
    end
    
    
b) in blind.lua, add to the method function Blind:disable():


    if self:get_type() == 'Boss' and boss_hands_storage == 1 and not joker_already_sold then
        ease_hands_played(boss_hands_storage)
        joker_already_sold = true
    end
    
    
c) in blind.lua add to the method function Blind:defeat(silent):


    -- Clear needle like debuff effects:
    if self:get_type() == 'Boss' and not self.disabled then
        boss_hands_storage = nil or 0
        joker_already_sold = nil
    end```

[frosty dock]

https://www.lua.org/pil/4.2.html

[south galleon]

so local is only a block, while global in a whole class?

[languid mirage]

theres no classes

global will be accessible (almost) everywhere, hence the name

almost meaning it won't really work in love2d engine files, if you're doing an injection there

[lofty igloo]

Right, had my lunch, in the meantime, I tried creating another atlas, renamed the atlas further, created another joker, all with the same results

why

It popped up again, when I hover over the joker card again

If this is a stupid Proton bug

I stg

[frosty dock]

I'll have a look if you send the mod files my way

[lofty igloo]

Sure

[hidden current]

how can I change a vanilla sprite without replacing the whole atlas?

[frosty dock]

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('joker', { atlas = 'whatever', pos = { x = 0, y = 0 } }), where SMODS.Joker is to be replaced by whatever class of the object the sprite belongs to, and 'joker' is the key of that object without the prefix (e.g. j_joker -> joker)

[lofty igloo]

Also just tried to verify game files and reinstalling Steamodded

[frosty dock]

I wanna say there's nothing wrong with your code, it works fine on my end

[lofty igloo]

huh

[hidden current]

and how do I tell it which image it's using from that atlas?

[lofty igloo]

Proton will be the end of me one day

[hidden current]

oh position I'm guessing right?

[frosty dock]

yeah mb, edited it in

replace the values for x and y with wherever the sprite is

[lofty igloo]

It's weird because other mods work just fine for me

[frosty dock]

that's extremely odd, card definitely isn't supposed to be nil there

could you send the full traceback?

[lofty igloo]

Sure

[frosty dock]

I can't quite make sense of that

I might need your full mods folder

[lofty igloo]

uhm

It started working now?

I noticed there was a card.lua file in the game dir

Not sure why it was there, removed it, now it works?

My best guess: The game/Steamodded loads lua files in the same dir as the Balatro.exe?

Ha, yup

Created an empty card.lua

Game doesn't boot anymore

Guessing this is some sort of debug measure then

[frosty dock]

wtf that's weird

but how did that file get there to begin with

[lofty igloo]

tbh could've been me when I was looking into the game files, but I'm not sure

Pretty sure I never extracted it

[frosty dock]

What's happening there is the lua engine sees require "card" and apparently it looks in the game directory before checking the insides of the executable

[lofty igloo]

I guess that makes sense

[frosty dock]

lovely dumps files it modifies into Mods/lovely/dump, maybe a file from there somehow got moved to the game dir?

[lofty igloo]

My lovely/dump has no card.lua though, so if anything, I guess I must've extracted it from the exe? Can't remember that though

It has a cardarea.lua

[frosty dock]

then maybe you moved it

[lofty igloo]

Let me delete the lovely folder and see if it gets generated

[frosty dock]

it should, it's purely for inspection

[lofty igloo]

Ah, yeah

There it is

So I must've moved it somehow

That's even weirder then

Oh well, mystery solved I guess

Thank you for your help 🙇‍♂️

[frosty dock]

np

[regal wolf]

there are classes in lua

[lofty igloo]

Not really, the "classes" you see in Lua are just objects

In itself, Lua doesn't have classes, it can mimic the behavior of them, but strictly speaking, there are no classes

https://www.lua.org/pil/16.1.html

That page explains it fairly well

Another example, if you look at the string "class"/object, it has functions defined as string.find(s, pattern, ...), but you can still run 'hello'.find('hell') and it works, because string is the metatable for any string object, so 'hello'.find('hell') is just syntactic sugar for string.find('hello', 'hell')

So not really classes but something that resemble them

[lofty igloo]

Okay, maybe not directly 'hello'.find but rather s = "hello" and then s:find("hell") but you get the idea

[maiden phoenix]

Where exactly are planet consumables vars localized? Is it in their config.hand_type?

[regal wolf]

Well yes, but it has the effect of a class system. It supports object-oriented programming through the use of tables and metatables, so you can create classes and objects by defining tables and using metatables to control their behaviour. You can also implement inheritance through the use of metatables.

[lofty igloo]

Yes, but that's still not really OOP, it's like OOP but not quite OOP

[languid mirage]

but it's not a class

its a table

[regal wolf]

Yes, Lua is a scripting language.

[lofty igloo]

it's like oldschool javascript "classes"

[maiden phoenix]

I was right is tied to the hand_type actually

[lofty igloo]

function someclass() {
  this.answer = 42;
}

someclass.prototype.getAnswer = function() {
  return this.answer;
}

var obj = new someclass();
var ans = obj.getAnswer();

[languid mirage]

what is that syntax

[lofty igloo]

Classic JS

[languid mirage]

insane

[lofty igloo]

Nowadays you have the class keyword and stuff

But under the hood

It's still the same

[regal wolf]

For javascript yeah

[lofty igloo]

It's pretty much the same for Lua, JS classes have their functions defined in the prototype object

So for all intents and purposes, a Lua "class" is the "prototype" of an object

Where the "class" is really just another object

[regal wolf]

Well yes, but of course there are differences between scripting languages, and OOP languages.

[lofty igloo]

If I had to write the same snippet in Lua, I'd write

function someclass:new()
    o = {}
    setmetatable(o, self)
    self.__index = self
    self.answer = 42
    return o
end

function someclass:getAnswer()
    return self.answer
end

obj = someclass:new()
ans = obj:getAnswer()

[regal wolf]

SomeClass = {}
SomeClass.__index = SomeClass

function SomeClass:new()
    local instance = setmetatable({}, SomeClass)
    instance.answer = 42
    return instance
end

function SomeClass:getAnswer()
    return self.answer
end

local obj = SomeClass:new()
local ans = obj:getAnswer()

is how I would do it.

but yeah very similar

[lament fjord]

I think I'm seeing a bug in lovely where it's clobbering lines where it shouldn't, is there some way to get a detailed trace of patch applications

(The symptom in this case is a syntax error that shouldn't logically result given the patches applied, fixed by replacing the patch with an ostensibly equivalent one)

[tepid crow]

lovely dumps any changed files at %appdata%/Balatro/Mods/lovely/dump too btw

[lament fjord]

I want to get intermediate results somehow

I know which lines are most likely getting clobbered

[tepid crow]

I'm not sure there is

[wintry solar]

Is it not just a case of a non unique pattern?

[lament fjord]

My suspicion is that somehow a thing that should just be inserting code also happens to clobber code along the way

[wintry solar]

Have you got any examples?

[fallen tendon]

i feel like i dont get something about how the enhancement calculate function works

im trying to make it so it gives chips mult and xmult if the hand contains a 3 of a kind

ive been looking at the eval card calls and ive tried both scoring_name and poker_hand

[frosty dock]

a calc return can't have multiple effects iirc

[fallen tendon]

scholar/walkie talkie do it

[frosty dock]

it works for joker effects with context.individual specifically if I'm not mistaken

the eval tower is a huge mess

[fallen tendon]

am i doomed

[frosty dock]

there's better_calc for reasons like this, but there's just been no progress on it and I'm not sure what its status is currently

[fallen tendon]

i guess i could make the enhancement just xmult

[frosty dock]

you can use SMODS.eval_this for each effect

it'll be deprecated when better calc is merged, but that's whatever

[fallen tendon]

what

ok i see it

[frosty dock]

fancy wrapper for card_eval_status_text

the original is annoying to use

[fallen tendon]

summary of 90% of things that arent jokers

its a nightmare to do anything that isnt a joker or a deck

consumables are ok too

[wintry solar]

I’m not sure what state enhancement calc is in

[fallen tendon]

but playing cards make me want to end it all

why did the game hard code them so much

[wintry solar]

All the base game enhancements use functions like get_chip_mod

[fallen tendon]

ik

[wintry solar]

Thunk clearly never intended for mods to be made

[fallen tendon]

what happens if you want to do something even slightly more complex

[wintry solar]

The code is so unexpandable it almost needs entirely rewriting

[fallen tendon]

i tried making a card that leveled up the playued hand once

i suffered so much it basically made we want to stop developing robalatro

[wintry solar]

I’ve added a function return for seals similar to what jokers have to allow for extra stuff like that which might help in this case

[frosty dock]

we've gone up to 18 issues (20 earlier today) on steamodded and a bunch of them result from base game jank

[fallen tendon]

not even this works

am i supposed to use eval_this like that or is there more

actually ima just do some troubleshooting

[wintry solar]

Is there even a calculate call added for enhancements? I don’t remember

[maiden phoenix]

You have to make an eval_this for each of them iirc?

[fallen tendon]

inside gameobject.lua

[wintry solar]

I mean where is that even called

I can take a look in a short while

[fallen tendon]

no clue

absolutely nothing

so uh i think i found the problem

calling eval_this didnt actually create the animation in the event manager

how do i make it uh...

do that?

[wintry solar]

right yeah, you shouldn't return anything from the enhancement calculation as it's never actually stored anywhere

it just calls the function

although I guess editting the effect array might work?

[fallen tendon]

maybe, but it also might take 2 years off of my lifespan

[zealous glen]

I don’t think this is true. Thunk mentioned being willing to support mods during the demo, but that it would come later

[fallen tendon]

he certainly didnt code with them in mind

[languid mirage]

the game would take like 1-2 more years to release then

[fallen tendon]

yeah good point

but now we have a headache trying to add literally any enhancement

i might have to postpone my enhancement mod until better_calc comes out

[maiden phoenix]

Is it possible to see if a lovely patch applied properly beside putting debug messages inside the payload?

[fallen tendon]

because this is migrane simulator

[zealous glen]

You can read the dump

[languid mirage]

mods/lovely/dump

[maiden phoenix]

Ty

[wintry solar]

Alex what's the effect you're trying to do?

[fallen tendon]

+30 chips +3 mult and 1.3x mult if played hand contains a 3 of a kind

[wintry solar]

yeah that should be doable, I'm just playing around to figure it out but I don't see why it wouldn't work

[tepid crow]

When I reload my mods by holding m, hooked/wrapped functions happen twice. I'm assuming that's expected behavior, but can I avoid it?

Or should I just restart balatro completely

[frosty dock]

that is not expected behavior, lua_reload is supposed to cleanup any previous hooks

what functions are you experiencing duplication on?

[tepid crow]

Oh, interesting. Hold on, let me see if I can isolate it

[tepid crow]

Yeah even this simple hook will print twice after a mod reload

local old_Back_apply_to_run = Back.apply_to_run
function Back:apply_to_run(args)
    sendTraceMessage("Back:apply_to_run", "Test")
    return old_Back_apply_to_run(self, args)
end

It also seems to happen for any and all hooks, doesn't matter what function

[frosty dock]

I assume this is just at top-level within a main mod file?

[tepid crow]

yeah

it's literally the only code

[maiden phoenix]

I'm not sure why but this lovely patch doesn't want to apply, it's the only mod I have in my mod folder rn, I bet it's a really stupid mistake...

[tepid crow]

I'm not very experienced with lovely, but I don't think you should have a newline followed by no indents in your pattern?

[tepid egret]

yo quick question, is there a way to remove a deck by taking ownership? (or a similar mechanism - i just want to remove a deck from the game)

[maiden phoenix]

It's worth a try

[wintry solar]

yeah try making your pattern all one line

maybe use ''' around your patch too

[maiden phoenix]

Still nothing, did the " thing too

[wintry solar]

where's your lovely file saved?

[maiden phoenix]

At the root of my mod

[wintry solar]

what's it called?

[frosty dock]

I'm not sure anyone has tested that, but a delete method does exist

[maiden phoenix]

lovely.toml

[frosty dock]

so SMODS.Back:take_ownership('key', {}):delete() might work

[maiden phoenix]

It's weird cuz I have a second lovely patch in the file and this one works fine

[tepid egret]

ok ill try it out, thx for helping

[tepid crow]

can you replicate this btw aure or am I being an idiot?

[wintry solar]

#wizardry

[tepid egret]

lol they have fucking balloons

[lofty igloo]

Looks good

[wintry solar]

is the line you're targetting applied by a different lovely patch?

balloons are great

[tepid egret]

this did indeed work!

[maiden phoenix]

This is the only mod I have that applies a lovely patch

[frosty dock]

I'm fairly sure I've not been having such issues

[tepid crow]

should I ask again in the steamodded thread then?

[wintry solar]

huh, I also can't patch this line

wait

[maiden phoenix]

That's so weird

[hidden current]

is this place just for code or also for art?

[wintry solar]

I am biug noob and put a comma at the end of my pattern

I can patch this line

[maiden phoenix]

I dont get why it works for you but not me

[wintry solar]

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = '''G.GAME.pack_choices = self.config.center.config.choose or 1'''
position = "after"
payload = '''sendDebugMessage("Test for SDM")'''
match_indent = true

try using this

[maiden phoenix]

Will do

Nope

I'm gonna remove my second lovely patch see if it does anything

[wintry solar]

can you send me your toml?

[maiden phoenix]

I figured out the issue, I was editing the wrong file....

I knew it was a dumb mistake

I removed the second lovely patch and was wondering why it still showed in the dump and it just tilt in my head, thanks for the help 👍

[tepid crow]

the good old "edited file and ran file are not the same"

[hidden current]

working on some planet cards... I'm not really good with art but how's this?

[hallow forge]

full house?

[hidden current]

nah that's still wip

currently it has no implementation

I just wanted to mess around a bit

I also want to redo the stars to be different from earth

[trim willow]

that's cute!

[hidden current]

cleaned up the stars a bit and modified earth to match

[maiden phoenix]

Huh

Didn't think the Cryptid compat cards in pack was a manual thing, thought in was already in the game

[hidden current]

trying to do Sol as well but stars are harder

[fallen tendon]

that was a high card

[wintry solar]

yeah I just didn't do the context check

so first of all, the function needs to be calculate = function(self, center, context, effect) but I don't think effect actually does anything, it was always nil for me

then I did this

SMODS.eval_this(center, {
            chip_mod = 30,
            message = localize({type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips', vars = {30}})
        })
        SMODS.eval_this(center, {
            mult_mod = 3,
            message = localize({type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = {3}})
        })
        SMODS.eval_this(center, {
            Xmult_mod = 1.3,
            message = localize({type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = {1.3}})
        })

[frosty dock]

I was able to reproduce and tbh I have no clue as to why it's now happening

[hidden current]

yeah I don't like this

[hidden current]

cleaned it up a bit but I'm still not convinced

[tepid crow]

Ah, thanks for the confirmation! I believe you're somewhat involved in steamodded's development? Do you know who worked on the lua reload?

[frosty dock]

I've come to realize it's always done this and maybe including it was a bad idea

it's a project that was abandoned in beta 2 years ago

[tepid crow]

Hmm, that sucks. I've built my own "restart balatro" button, but it's very janky.

[rough furnace]

Proton shouldn't interere with this at all

Also I've not experienced any oddities with proton while developing modd

[wintry solar]

what a great slider

[lofty igloo]

It wasn't a Proton bug, it's an oddity about the game, where it can load Lua files from the directory rather from the game files

[zealous glen]

New Blinds!

The Loop
When defeated once, play it again (no refreshes)
and
The Rouge Ribbon
When defeated, play the Loop (no refreshes)
Made using Myst and her L Corp code as reference

[zealous glen]

One easy thing to try is to make the border not grey, but maybe trying to make it look less like a gold ball by putting those patterns of the surface of the sun

[night pagoda]

colorful finisher bg detected!

[zealous glen]

Yes! I asked your permission ;P

[night pagoda]

yep lol

[zealous glen]

But I suppose I forgot to point it out, my bad

[night pagoda]

no I'm not asking for this I just noticed and had a neuron activation lmao

[zealous glen]

Rouge Ribbon's color ended up too close to Crimson Heart, I feel like

That said, Loop's color looks better than expected

[tepid crow]

So the mod reload only works for mods that don't use lovely injection or function hooking/wrapping? That's quite a limited set of mods yeah
There is love.event.quit("restart") (docs) which could possibly work, but it just seems to crash with no error message when I try it.

[frosty dock]

Worse, it just doesn't work on modules that mess with the global scope

love.event.quit('restart') has been broken with lovely

[tepid crow]

Right, because it's not really a replace, more of an append

love.event.quit('restart') has been broken with lovely
Yeah was kinda afraid that'd be the case. Oh well, at least good to know you guys looked into it

[rough furnace]

It closes because the threads aren't stopped, but we can do that. If you crash with steamodded, then press R it will use this to restart

[zealous glen]

@crisp coral Where is your code to make the Blind UI description bigger? I would like to use it if possible ^^'

[tepid crow]

Yeah, I saw a similar question here. Closing any other running threads ourselves and starting them back up again sounds relatively easy though?

[rough furnace]

Yeah it's "working" right now

But then lovley's module breaks which then breaks any mods relying on it

Acruslly does it break mods modules or just the lovley one?

I'll have to check that

[crisp coral]

isn't it in base smods now?

[frosty dock]

not sure, but the lovely module is the first thing it breaks

steamodded relies on it really early

[zealous glen]

Idk, I haven't updated recently. I can see if updating changes it

[hidden quiver]

ive been using the alpha with mods for about a week with no issues, but now for some reason even with a fresh install whenever i select a second card in my hand it crashes, doesnt happen with 0.9.8 only with alpha

[frosty dock]

what mods do you have installed? Not all 0.9.8 mods are fully compatible with 1.0

[rough furnace]

Also send crash log

[tepid crow]

I'm confused. Are you saying this method is already being used somewhere?

[hidden quiver]

with a fresh 1.0 with no mods it crashes

[rough furnace]

Yes in the steamodded crash handler

[crisp coral]

if you're crashing without mods then it's a save file issue

[frosty dock]

it "works" but is not workable, given steamodded itself relies on the lovely module that's breaking

[regal wolf]

thoughts?

[rough furnace]

I'm going to see if I can fix it later today

[regal wolf]

-# Yes I know the "Features" tab items are not vertically aligned.

[rough furnace]

Cause IIRC DebugPlus doesn't break with the reload and it provides a lovely module

[crisp coral]

reloading with r makes lovely itself crash for me

[frosty dock]

Looks nice imo, though I think stuff might get a bit too cramped if combined with the steamodded mods button

[rough furnace]

Like how so?

A panic?

[tepid crow]

Ah, alright. Good luck! :)

[regal wolf]

Yeah, I'm trying to think about a way to avoid that.

I might end up moving the central button somewhere else.

[frosty dock]

I'm not a proponent of mods adding their own menu buttons, I fear it might freak out how it does if there's too many settings tabs

[crisp coral]

i forgot, will need to wait till i get back

[frosty dock]

once steamodded settings pages are properly finalized, perhaps it could integrate with that

[hidden quiver]

i started a new run and it fixed itself, all good

[regal wolf]

no of course, I mean no one wants a crowded ui

[zealous glen]

It is!

[regal wolf]

Yeah potentially. Saturn is still in very early development, and it's just me working on it, so it will take a whileuntil it gets to a place where I'll start polishing the compatability

Unfortunately, with Brainstorm, Balatro University Mods, and some other projects, development is slow

[wintry solar]

what's deckviewer+?

[regal wolf]

Currently it has the option to hide played cards from deck view.

so Instead of the cards showing up as greyed out, they will be removed. (if the setting is enabled)

If you've seen any of balatro university's recent stuff, you'll see it in action

[zealous glen]

By the way, @wintry solar, maybe the colorful finishers from Bunco would be a nice feature for Steamodded, if they want to allow porting it

[wintry solar]

Hmmm?

Colourful finishers?

[zealous glen]

Not the prettiest example but you can see it here

[stray warren]

Saturn doesn't use Steamodded though, right? So integration with SMod settings page wouldn't be available

[zealous glen]

with this Showdown Boss Blind

Usually it would use the same red-blue background as every other Showdown

[regal wolf]

You can still do integration.

[zealous glen]

But besides using the Boss' main color, it automatically computes a second color for the background

[regal wolf]

For example, mathis integrates all the spectral pack mods together with one setting page iirc

[wintry solar]

Ah cool

[stray warren]

Oh, so you'd have a separate settings page if SMOD isn't installed?

[wintry solar]

That sounds like something that would work well in SMODS.Blinds

[regal wolf]

for example

[regal wolf]

Yeah

That would be one way of doing it.

[zealous glen]

It's just a relatively simple hook

[regal wolf]

Or, I might just keep them separate and move the button, etc

who knows 🤷‍♂️

[zealous glen]

@wintry solar here's the code https://github.com/Firch/Bunco/blob/bbdc230376a6b834d5f6ac64ace32a7bcde6df64/Bunco.lua#L3236

[crisp coral]

is there a way to get the current mod's folder name

i have no clue how the mod path is formatted in other oses

[hushed cradle]

ive put a button on the pause menu

anyone know how i order it?

so i can put it at the bottom

no steamodded just lovely stuff

no idea what im doing

wait

mightve figured it out

yep figured it out

[rough furnace]

Lovely or steamodded

Steamodded is mod.path iirc

Lovely doesn't have this api, but it's supposedly in the works.

[rough furnace]

Yeah intresting

so why is the lovely module different?

[lament fjord]

https://github.com/OceanRamen/Saturn/blob/68bfc9051bba3d1e83ac69fb75980a90ceeaf103/lovely/deckviewer.toml#L53

This patch should not be clobbering one of the end keywords, but it does on my setup, causing a syntax error to be raised by the game. Replacing the patch with an equivalent one which overwrites that matched part with one with the same number of end keywords does not cause a syntax error.

[hushed cradle]

is there a limit to how long lovely patches can be?

[mellow sable]

no

I have like a 100 line one where I replace the entire save manager with a string literal

[hushed cradle]

i cannot figure out why my thing isnt being added

ive tried changing the pattern

the

all the things

[edgy reef]

I have a giant one that handles D6 Joker UI as well xdd

(of the payload to be persise)

[hushed cradle]

ive got 2 things being patched in in one file

to the same place

not exactly

but like the same file

the first bit is in there

but the second one doesnt get added

the syntax is exactly the same

[crisp coral]

send your patches here?

[hushed cradle]

one sec lol

im tryna convert a mod to lovely only

got no idea what im doing with lovely patches tho

and the mods itself is confusing as hell

[crisp coral]

patterns that are multiple lines long must use regex

[hushed cradle]

right

i def know what that is

lemme just

do that

[crisp coral]

not like i can just straight up explain to you what to do, im on mobile

[hushed cradle]

its all good

i have an internet connection so i should be alright

[hushed cradle]

yo could someone help me out rq

i think my pattern is too long

lmao

the only thing i know about regex is \s and \

its in one line btw

if i make it multline it doesnt work

and i cant figure that out

[wintry solar]

Can you send me the lovely dump that this produces? I’m away from my pc for today

[languid mirage]

put original code through this https://regex101.com/r/TP3C6d/1

use '''
regex here'''
for your pattern

so triple '

Then in front of very line you can replace all spaces with [\t ]* space is important there

[hushed cradle]

i managed to get around it after i realised that i was doing it all in a really dumb way, and only needed a single line pattern

ty tho

[languid mirage]

ah ok

[lofty igloo]

sigh

I know tooltips are a pain

It's on a Tarot card this time

SMODS.Consumable{
    key = 'addcan',
    name = '!addcan',
    set = 'Tarot',
    atlas = 'davekat',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    cost = 1,
    loc_txt = {
        name = '!addcan',
        text = {
            'Adds a {C:mult}Can{} to {C:attention}Can Town'
        }
    },
    discovered = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local can_word = 'Cans'
        local cans = G.GAME.cans_added or 0
        if cans == 1 then
            can_word = 'Can'
        end
        info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {
            set = 'Joker',
            key = 'j_lumi_cantown',
            vars = { cans, can_word }
        }
        return {}
    end,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        G.GAME.cans_added = (G.GAME.cans_added or 0) + 1

        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {
                    message = 'Added!'
                })
                return true
            end
        }))
    end,
    can_use = function(self, card)
        return true
    end
}

[south galleon]

is this a homestuck

[lofty igloo]

no

mayhaps it is

[south galleon]

~~ok good ~~

you know this looks likea good reference for making consumable cards

now all i need is one for modifiers

[languid mirage]

in vars first arg should be 1

tho idk why string var wont work

[lofty igloo]

wdym? Like, a literal 1?

[languid mirage]

oh wait

nvm

I thought +1 mult is a var

[lofty igloo]

I think consumeables just weren't made to have tooltips like that

[languid mirage]

it should be specific_vars

instead of vars

in info queue

[lofty igloo]

Still the same

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {
            set = 'Joker',
            key = 'j_lumi_cantown',
            specific_vars = { cans, can_word }
        }

[languid mirage]

can you show the joker code

[lofty igloo]

Of course

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'cantown',
    name = 'Can Town',
    rarity = 4,
    discovered = true,
    atlas = 'thebabyisyou',
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    cost = 10,
    config = {},
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Can Town',
        text = {
            'This Joker gains {C:mult}+2 Mult{}',
            'for every Can {C:attention}activated{}.',
            '{C:inactive}(Currently {C:mult}#1#{C:inactive} #2#)'
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local can_word = 'Cans'
        local cans = G.GAME.cans_added or 0
        if cans == 1 then
            can_word = 'Can'
        end
        return { vars = { cans, can_word } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local cans = G.GAME.cans_added or 0

        if context.using_consumeable and card.ability.name == 'Can Town' and context.consumeable.ability.name == '!addcan' then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {
                        message = localize{
                            type = 'variable',
                            key = 'a_mult',
                            vars = { cans }
                        },
                        mult_mod = cans * 2
                    })
                    return true
                end
            }))
            return {calculated = true}
        end
        if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main and cans > 0 then
            return {
                message = localize{
                    type = 'variable',
                    key = 'a_mult',
                    vars = { cans * 2 }
                },
                mult_mod = cans
            }
        end
    end
}

[languid mirage]

what if instead of entire table you put G.P_CENTERS.<joker_key>

[lofty igloo]

I had G.P_CENTERS['j_lumi_cantown']:loc_vars(info_queue).vars earlier

[languid mirage]

without loc vars

[lofty igloo]

I'll try that

So you mean info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.j_lumi_cantown?

[languid mirage]

yep

[lofty igloo]

That did it

Thank you

[languid mirage]

You're welcome

[lofty igloo]

A quick question as well: What's the easiest way to make a little bit of text appear under the card when it gets consumed? The "Added!" message has the yellow effect stuff about it but that's a bit too much tbh

[languid mirage]

copied from cryptid, but this is the easiest way card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, { message = "M!", colour = G.C.FILTER, card = card })

[lofty igloo]

Ah, thank you again!

[south galleon]

hey guys, does anyone have an example of how to make a modded tarot card? i just need references

[south galleon]

so ive just been looking at the jellymod for reference on how to add tarot cards:

G.localization.misc.v_dictionary.a_xchips = "X#1# Chips"
init_localization()

updateLocalizationJelly(tarot_localization, "Tarot")
updateLocalizationJelly(enhance_localization, "Enhanced")
if supported_languages[G.SETTINGS.language] then
    local tarot_localization = assert(loadstring(love.filesystem.read(SMODS.findModByID("JellyTarots").path .. '/localization/' ..G.SETTINGS.language..'/tarots.lua')))()
    local enhance_localization = assert(loadstring(love.filesystem.read(SMODS.findModByID("JellyTarots").path .. '/localization/' ..G.SETTINGS.language..'/enhancements.lua')))()
    updateLocalizationJelly(tarot_localization, "Tarot")
    updateLocalizationJelly(enhance_localization, "Enhanced")
end 

what does this do, i wonder?

[frosty dock]

Do not look at jellymod for anything

it's like the most outdated thing out there

[south galleon]

aw man, then where do i get code reference for modded tarot cards

[iron sphinx]

cryptid

[frosty dock]

use literally anything else

[south galleon]

oh alright

do i need to update to steammodded 1.0.0 or nah (im currently in 0.9.8)

[frosty dock]

I like to say it really doesn't make sense to start making mods for 0.9.8 at this point in time

so yes

[south galleon]

im very new to modding this game after all

[mellow sable]

Cryptid with its singular tarot card

[south galleon]

how do i fix this?

[iron sphinx]

you are still on 0.9.8

[south galleon]

yeah but how do i update to 1.0.0

[iron sphinx]

did you install 0.9.8 with lovely or the injector?

[south galleon]

the ps injector

[iron sphinx]

you need to verify integrity on steam, and also you need to use lovely to install 1.0.0 since injector won't work anymore
https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector

[south galleon]

so i dont need to use steammodded anymore?

[iron sphinx]

forgot about that https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

here, download from this link☝️

[south galleon]

so i use both of these??

[iron sphinx]

yes, you need lovely to mod the game now, and you need steamodded to load the mod

[south galleon]

what about creating mods?

[iron sphinx]

what do you mean?

program? idk vsc or something

[south galleon]

i noticed some of the mods uses lovely, some mods uses steammodded

[iron sphinx]

all(?) "lovely" mods use 1.0.0 steamodded

wait or is it the mods that doesnt use steamodded

[rough furnace]

If you plan to add content, you probably want to use steamodded, if you want to modify the games behavior, then you probably want to use lovely

You can also use both at the same time.

[rough furnace]

DebugPlus is a lovely mod and works without steamodded or with it on any version

IIRC Taisman also doesn't depend on steamodded at all

[languid mirage]

cartomancer too

[rough furnace]

Also that one score improvement mod I made no-one care avout

[iron sphinx]

yeah i forgot about mods that only uses lovely

[south galleon]

okay i got steammodded and lovely (i resetted it)

crashed

these are the mods i put in the directory btw

[rough furnace]

Verify file integrity on steam

[south galleon]

i did! and then after that i installed lovely, and steammodded injector (ps version)

[languid mirage]

you don't

you dont inject steamodded
you download source from github and put it in %appdata%/balatro/mods

[south galleon]

so i dont need the injector?

[languid mirage]

There's literally an installation guide

[languid mirage]

lovely is the injector

[lofty igloo]

Installing lovely is putting the version.dll next to Balatro.exe, installing Steamodded is either git cloning into the Mods folder in AppData or downloading the zip and unpacking it into the Mods folder

[south galleon]

okay so I clicked "verify file integrity" and put the lovely version.dll

game work fine, there's no mods tab

[rough furnace]

What's your mods folder look like?

[south galleon]

I just made a mod folder in the %appdata%

[lofty igloo]

C:\users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods\

[south galleon]

yeah I just created a folder in that path

for mods

[lofty igloo]

Yeah, put Steamodded in there

[languid mirage]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started @south galleon

[south galleon]

and cryptid and the prerequisites?

[lofty igloo]

Ye

Although if you put in Steamodded, you should have the Mods tab at the very least

[south galleon]

alright everything works!

[lofty igloo]

[south galleon]

thank you!

(now all that's left is how to make mods for this game)

[languid mirage]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started

if you scroll down

[lofty igloo]

So https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started#creating-your-first-mod pretty much

[languid mirage]

also make sure to check out example mods folder in steamodded files

[south galleon]

will do

[austere schooner]

oh this is gonna be fun to debug

it looks like something something atlases??

since 6525 is pointing to G.ASSET_ATLAS

i might have set up this consumable wrong

[hushed cradle]

is there a thing i can do to check if youre in the collection

so when its making the tooltip for a joker it changes based on whether its in a run or in the collection

[solemn coral]

I have a joker that kinda does that

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
    local acesTotal = 0
    local acesEnhanced = 0
    if G.playing_cards then
        for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if v.config.center ~= G.P_CENTERS.c_base and v.base.value == "Ace" then acesEnhanced = acesEnhanced + 1 end
            if v.base.value == "Ace" then acesTotal = acesTotal + 1 end
        end
    else
        acesEnhanced = 0
        acesTotal = 4
    end
    return {vars = {center.ability.extra.mult, acesEnhanced.."/"..acesTotal}}
end,

It uses if G.playing_cards to check if there's an available deck it can look at. If there is, it knows it's in a run and it uses the values of your deck, and if there's not, it knows it's in the main menu and it just uses some preset default values

The only minor thing is that if you check your collection mid-run from the pause menu, it still knows its in a run and it uses the values from that run's deck

[hushed cradle]

cool ty

that shouldnt be a big deal

i wonder if i can just have a bool thats set true when a run starts and set false when a run ends

idk why i didnt think before asking the question

mb

wait that has the exact same problem lol

nvm

not a big deal

[zealous glen]

I have a function to do it

Essentially the Joker collection is three different CardAreas so it just iterates over each of them

Depending on your issue you can do other things, but that’s a relatively easy check

I think this was it

[hushed cradle]

thank you

[lament fjord]

Got the dump of the relevant file, along with a log

https://gist.github.com/flakywanderer/04de5dd47c1705df2fb653fffcc53d33

[wintry solar]

You could try checking for G.your_collection it might not work but that’s where the collection card areas are stored

[zealous glen]

See my previous message

[wintry solar]

Ah yes, but for simple purposes of whether the card is being displayed in the collection or not, a simple check the that collection exists should suffice

[hushed cradle]

im having trouble hooking to when a card is hovered over lol

let you know if it works when i fix this thing

function Card:hover()
  card_hover_ref()
  if G.your_collection then
    initCollectionLoc()
  else
    initGameLoc()
  end
end```

should this work?

because apparently theres an issue where it tries to juice up but self is nil

[tepid crow]

you need to pass self to the ref I think

[hushed cradle]

self.card_hover_ref()

?

i tried doing that

or

[tepid crow]

no, card_hover_ref(self)

[hushed cradle]

ref = self

oh

damn

oh my god of course

im actually an idiot

[tepid crow]

that's the standard programming workflow

[hushed cradle]

yeah i forgot you had to put in self for ages

[tepid crow]

you'll be back to "I'm so smart 🧠" in a bit

[hushed cradle]

then i remember but cos its not a parameter in the bracket i was like it goes on the front

hopefully lol

my 9 in gcse comp sci going to waste lol

[zealous glen]

Is it? You can load the collection while playing the game

[wintry solar]

Oh I’m not sure actually, what happens to the card area when the collection is closed? I assumed it would be set to nil

Like how G.jokers doesn’t exist in the main menu

[zealous glen]

I’m thinking more about the card that’s still in G.jokers while the collection is open

[hushed cradle]

i just want it to display different things in collection and in game

so if you use collection in game

[zealous glen]

I use the function that I mentioned

[hushed cradle]

it shows different to what it does in your joker area

[zealous glen]

Maybe you can do it only checking G.your_collection, but I have the complete check

I mostly do it to set main_end

It’s nil in the collection or actually some tooltip element otherwise

[hushed cradle]

trying it with just checking your_collection atm

but i cant get the text to change lol

[zealous glen]

What’s your whole code

Well just the UI part

[wintry solar]

Yeah I think putting a (G.your_collection and X or Y) as your loc_vars would do the job

Assuming you’re just changing the tooltips values?

[zealous glen]

Alternatively maybe checking if G.GAME would work

[hushed cradle]

one sec

[zealous glen]

Because usually the variables that won’t work in the collection are there

[hushed cradle]

  if Saturn.USER.SETTINGS.STATTRACK.ENABLED then
    if Saturn.USER.SETTINGS.STATTRACK.MONEY_GEN then Saturn.ST.addCounterLocalization(localization, "money_generators") end
    if Saturn.USER.SETTINGS.STATTRACK.CARD_GEN then Saturn.ST.addCounterLocalization(localization, "card_generators") end
    if Saturn.USER.SETTINGS.STATTRACK.PLUS_MULT then Saturn.ST.addCounterLocalization(localization, "plus_mults") end
    if Saturn.USER.SETTINGS.STATTRACK.PLUS_CHIPS then Saturn.ST.addCounterLocalization(localization, "plus_chips") end
    if Saturn.USER.SETTINGS.STATTRACK.X_MULT then Saturn.ST.addCounterLocalization(localization, "x_mults") end
    if Saturn.USER.SETTINGS.STATTRACK.MISCELLANEOUS then Saturn.ST.addCounterLocalization(localization, "miscellaneous") end
  end
end

function initGameLoc()
  if Saturn.USER.SETTINGS.STATTRACK.ENABLED then
    if Saturn.USER.SETTINGS.STATTRACK.MONEY_GEN then Saturn.ST.addCounterLocalization(highscore_localization, "money_generators") end
    if Saturn.USER.SETTINGS.STATTRACK.CARD_GEN then Saturn.ST.addCounterLocalization(highscore_localization, "card_generators") end
    if Saturn.USER.SETTINGS.STATTRACK.PLUS_MULT then Saturn.ST.addCounterLocalization(highscore_localization, "plus_mults") end
    if Saturn.USER.SETTINGS.STATTRACK.PLUS_CHIPS then Saturn.ST.addCounterLocalization(highscore_localization, "plus_chips") end
    if Saturn.USER.SETTINGS.STATTRACK.X_MULT then Saturn.ST.addCounterLocalization(highscore_localization, "x_mults") end
    if Saturn.USER.SETTINGS.STATTRACK.MISCELLANEOUS then Saturn.ST.addCounterLocalization(highscore_localization, "miscellaneous") end
  end
end

function Saturn.ST.addCounterLocalization(localization, type)
  for _, k in ipairs(localizations[type]) do
    local text = G.localization.descriptions.Joker[k.id].text
    table.insert(text, #text + 1, k.counter_text)
  end
end```

and then

the things look like this

[zealous glen]

Ah you’re not using Steamodded

[hushed cradle]

nah

[zealous glen]

L

[hushed cradle]

i want to use some of the things balatro university has

and it was having issues w mods i have

so i ported a couple to lovely

and gave up on the rest

[zealous glen]

Steamodded takes care of the UI

[hushed cradle]

this is already just lovely patches stuff but im tryna expand it

[zealous glen]

So I just need to check if the Joker is in the collection or not

And if it isn’t I create the UI element I want to add

[wintry solar]

I still don’t think you need to check the specific location of the card, but I’m not sure if your use case victin

[zealous glen]

Probably not

[tepid crow]

Wait, in what ways? I'm doing some UI stuff in my mod, should I be using steamodded for that instead of doing it manually?

[zealous glen]

I didn’t think of testing what if only the collection exists

[zealous glen]

It depends on what you’re doing

I just mean accessing some of the elements where I can introduce other, new elements

Mostly main_end

For example:

[tepid crow]

oh I yeah I probably should've read through the chat more

I'm assuming you're referring to stuff like descriptions, tooltips etc

[zealous glen]

I did make a custom Boss tooltip for a Joker

[hushed cradle]

uh oh

[mellow sable]

My favorite mod, SaturnSaturnSaturnSaturnSaturnSaturnSaturnSaturnSaturnSaturn

[tepid crow]

ah I see yeah nevermind then

[hushed cradle]

this is the newest update about to be released

i got early access

[mellow sable]

Yeah I think something is off here…

[hushed cradle]

well its better than what i had before

[hushed cradle]

a stack overflow from 2 functions calling eachother over and over

[tepid crow]

sheeeeee that's cool lol

could've had it be an image of dwayne

[zealous glen]

tbf I reused the Collection Blind UI

but thanks

[zealous glen]

not that kind of mod

[wintry solar]

Can you info queue a blind?

Also, Lars, are you having issues with the ui stuff you’re doing?

[tepid crow]

I understand, I just thought it'd be funny :)

[tepid crow]

No, not right now. I am taking up some currently unused space though so it might not be very compatible 😅

[wintry solar]

Ooo, what are you working on?

[zealous glen]

Idk but they only have a tooltip in the collection, so I don’t know if that would help

I do would like to have a Blind tooltip tho

[zealous glen]

So the Rouge Ribbon can explain what the Loop is

[wintry solar]

I mean yours look great

Oh when you hover yes

[tepid crow]

Deck Sleeves, inspired by <#🎨・fan-art message>.
I basically copy-pasted the stake code for the UI.

[wintry solar]

That’s nice

I do have on my list to completely recreate this page to make it more compatible with lots of options

Having to click through the entire option selector is a pain imo

[tepid crow]

yeah, probably a good idea for compatibility too

[wintry solar]

But my current plan would allow for an extension to allow deck sleeves

[tepid crow]

like what I have?

[wintry solar]

No not quite

I’ll draw up some quick concepts

[hushed cradle]

you dont have to remove previous lovely patches do you?

like if i add smth

then remove that patch file

[tepid crow]

Sure! Gimme a tag, I'd like to see what you're working on

[hushed cradle]

does the patch stay

surely not

[tepid crow]

no, you don't need to "unpatch" anything

[hushed cradle]

ive got some patch that is just there

i swear i checked all my files

it wont go away

[tepid crow]

I haven't used lovely patching myself though, so I may be spouting bs

[hushed cradle]

it wouldnt make sense for you to have to remove them

that would be such a pain

[wintry solar]

The patch gets applied when you launch the game

[hushed cradle]

if i make changes w the game open

then restart it

will it still be the old stuff

im about to (hopefully) get this working so ill be able to check

oh my god

its because i made changes to it

so it wasnt showing the newest file in vs code

[tepid crow]

get you an editor that warns you if file-on-disk has changed

[hushed cradle]

its all good

still having trouble with updating the loc var text based on wheter its in the collection or not

if anyone has any ideas

ty

anyone know the format of loc_vars?

lemme look online rq

[river panther]

function(self,info_queue, card) return {vars = {card.ability.extra}} end

Where vars = {var1, var2} are the variables used for your description

[zealous glen]

Use Steamodded

[hushed cradle]

lol

[zealous glen]

They’re not using Steamodded

[hushed cradle]

is there anyway to edit the localization text from the card

[zealous glen]

You know what I’m going to say

[hushed cradle]

yep

[river panther]

Use steammodded

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/tavros-homestuck-vriska-meenah-gif-26254557

Although you could edit the localization files directly, but that’s not recommended

[hushed cradle]

ive got a thing that adds to them

which works fine

but i want to update them during a game

which i cant figure out

[river panther]

Razor blade | Uncommon | Set Discards to 1. Discarded cards are destroyed. Is this too broken?

[zealous glen]

You could edit the localization dictionary

[zealous glen]

At Uncommon, a bit

[river panther]

nahhh

[zealous glen]

It’s like five times better than Trading Card

[river panther]

Yeah but only one discard

[zealous glen]

Still

[hushed cradle]

modding going so badly my steam crashed

[regal wolf]

what are u trying to do nekojoe

[hushed cradle]

trying to get joker info to show different things in the game, and the collection

[regal wolf]

wdym

like, the joker description?

[hushed cradle]

when it says like what the joker does

yeah

[frosty dock]

step 1 is don't re-invent the wheel

[regal wolf]

+2

[hushed cradle]

but im almost there

[regal wolf]

why do u wanna do that

like whats the point

[hushed cradle]

uh

well

yk this super cool mod called saturn

[frosty dock]

steamodded literally provides APIs that make this easy

[hushed cradle]

i may have been tryna implement highscore tracker

and it all works but changing the description depending on if its in game or in collection

[zealous glen]

+3

[tepid crow]

https://xkcd.com/2140

[frosty dock]

it's easy to get wrong, and having your own implementation will probably create a conflict with steamodded

If I'm being honest I'd always rather a dependency than a conflict

[hushed cradle]

i see it as a learning experience

a bad one lol

im just tryna get experience w lovely and lua

and its fun to do that by adding my own stuff that only im gonna use

also i wanted to get this done cos i have a run going where i got 70k money generated w ticket

and wanna have that saved as a stat somewhere

[rough furnace]

I'd rather do it first than have steamodded and an api that does it later

[regal wolf]

i think it just depends on different factors

some mods / modders work better with steamodded, some without.

if you're a beginner, steamodded is probably the way to go.

[frosty dock]

that, I can agree on

Card description UI is just especially tricky, and getting it right in steamodded took a lot of fiddling around, plus the conflict potential is high

[regal wolf]

Yeah, balatro's UI can be a little odd at times.

[frosty dock]

JellyMod is a great bad example of this

not because it was done poorly

but because proper APIs didn't exist when it was first made and it never adopted them when they did

[hushed cradle]

solved all the problems

just made another word a variable that i can pass in

im acc stupid

[regal wolf]

@frosty dock could u send a link to the code for the card description ui?

[wintry solar]

Here's the rough idea thrown together rather shoddily as an image. The idea is to select the deck and stake by clicking on them before heading to the next screen, allowing for seeing multiple at once so there's not too many clicks to find what you're looking for. I haven't started work on this yet other than throwing some ideas around in my head, so any initial thoughts would be appreciated.

[hushed cradle]

djnasty

[hushed cradle]

that looks super cool btw

[hushed cradle]

if you want

idk you mightve done it already

i made a way for tracking highest stacks with saturn

and it shows the highest stat in the collection

[regal wolf]

it boils

[frosty dock]

why did that send

[regal wolf]

🔥

steamodded cooking

[regal wolf]

i mean i can take a look at it, but I doubt i will use it

[hushed cradle]

thats alright

should i dm it to you

[frosty dock]

sorry my keyboard is acting up

[regal wolf]

ur in the bu discord right?

just send it in the saturn thread

[hushed cradle]

cool

alright

[regal wolf]

no problem lol

[frosty dock]

anyways what I meant to say is it boils down to bypassing the main stuff that happens in generate_card_ui (the giant if-elseif tower) for a call to a generate_ui function that's generally predefined to take input from a custom loc_vars function (if it exists) but can be overridden

the bypassing is disabled by setting generate_ui to 0 if necessary

the default implementation on centers looks like this

generate_ui = function(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)
            local target = {
                type = 'descriptions',
                key = self.key,
                set = self.set,
                nodes = desc_nodes,
                vars =
                    specific_vars or {}
            }
            local res = {}
            if self.loc_vars and type(self.loc_vars) == 'function' then
                res = self:loc_vars(info_queue, card) or {}
                target.vars = res.vars or target.vars
                target.key = res.key or target.key
            end
            if not full_UI_table.name then
                full_UI_table.name = localize { type = 'name', set = self.set, key = target.key or self.key, nodes = full_UI_table.name }
            end
            if specific_vars and specific_vars.debuffed and not res.replace_debuff then
                target = { type = 'other', key = 'debuffed_' ..
                (specific_vars.playing_card and 'playing_card' or 'default'), nodes = desc_nodes }
            end
            if res.main_start then
                desc_nodes[#desc_nodes + 1] = res.main_start
            end
            localize(target)
            if res.main_end then
                desc_nodes[#desc_nodes + 1] = res.main_end
            end
        end

relevant patches beside this are in steamodded lovely/center.toml starting in line 76

[regal wolf]

ahhh so ur just overriding the function

[frosty dock]

technically I'm deferring part of the function to another user-defined function

[regal wolf]

yeah

so like a ref kinda

[tepid crow]

Ah, interesting. Probably not a bad idea with some screenshots I've seen that literally have the selection illegible because of overlap. I do have two questions right now:

1. This format would miss the user being able to instantly read a description, will it show it on hover instead? Cuz that seems like an unnecessary step for the user.
2. Would it support mod developers adding a third, fourth selection screen etc?

[wintry solar]

1. Yes, I'd like the description to show on hover like the tooltips on other cards.
2. I can certainly build it that way, such that you add your selection screen to a table that it parses through

[tepid crow]

I didn't really like the tooltip idea at first, but the more I think about it, the better it probably is.

I'm assuming you'd like a "selected so far" section like you already showed in the image. If mod devs add multiple selection screens (lets say 5-6), did you consider how that would still be able to fit on screen?

[wintry solar]

Hmmm that's definitely something to consider.

[gilded narwhal]

Milk

[maiden phoenix]

Is that chocolate milk?

[crisp elbow]

No it's pilk

[zealous glen]

What do you think?

[hallow forge]

nice

[wintry solar]

can you offset it to the left more?

[zealous glen]

I don't know

[night pagoda]

🤨 ???

was the fool supposed to work like luchador before or something?

[edgy reef]

Yes

[night pagoda]

wow

I honestly feel like luchador really works better as a consumable now

not a tarot maybe

but as a spectral?

[tepid crow]

as spectral it'd basically be impossible to find as hail-mary in the shop

[hallow forge]

but like how would it work in a pack?

[frosty dock]

old fool would just disable the next boss blind iirc

not sure since I didn't play at that time

[night pagoda]

it'd generate a tag that'd work like luchador

(hmm, current luchador also should generate a tag instead of working only in the combat...)

I remember when I first discovered luchador I sold it in the blind choosing menu before the boss of the ante because I didn't think it wouldn't work like that

[tepid crow]

yeah that's an easy mistake to make lol

it might not do it that way for balance reasons?

not sure

[hallow forge]

imagine if the boss blind just vanished and you were stuck on the blind select screen

balatro horror

[tepid crow]

you just don't get the play the boss blind, no rewards, go to the next ante

[night pagoda]

accidentialy removed finisher boss blind and didn't get the win

😭

yes now I want to make luchador generate a tag instead

using it on anaglyph deck will just turn luchador into chicot

[obtuse scarab]

not entirely sure if anyone's done something like this but i thought about it today and thought it was funny

im still working on the print in the center

[crisp elbow]

Imagine a cruel tarot pack that only gives you a singular tarot card

[austere schooner]

I don't think I've seen a yugioh card joker yet no

[obtuse scarab]

funny

i need to also get that print feel on the border too

[crisp elbow]

There was one based on ygo that was just exodia

But not based on the card itself

[obtuse scarab]

pot of joker

[crisp elbow]

True

[zealous glen]

many people ;P but it's always fun to see more

[zealous glen]

Not to the left but an improvement

[obtuse scarab]

shame ... dont mind too much however

i had this other design for a different joker but its supposed to be bland

[zealous glen]

It looks good. I think it's a bit too bland but you said that's the goal

[crisp elbow]

Why is jimbo wearing that ridiculous tie

[obtuse scarab]

because he's an accountant. serious job

i need to learn how to code now so i can actually put him in 😭

[zealous glen]

What does he do

[obtuse scarab]

every boss blind he takes away $5 and adds to a x1 mult by .25

[hallow forge]

what rarity is it?

[obtuse scarab]

uncommon

[hallow forge]

gonna be honest, i cant see myself ever taking this

[obtuse scarab]

yeah i was talking it over with some friends and we just went back and forth on what you gain

[hallow forge]

but like WHY would you take this

[zealous glen]

It seems much worse than other scaling options

Even Throwback is better

by a lot, actually

[obtuse scarab]

i just rolled with the idea of losing money to get an "investment" of some sort

[hallow forge]

not only is a super slow scaler is hurts econ

[zealous glen]

Throwback is at most $4 for X0.25, and you even get a Tag for it

@wintry solar what about now?

[obtuse scarab]

it was originally going to be every blind but they argued that it would just be a better version of madness

[hushed cradle]

i made one that looks kinda similar lol

[zealous glen]

Madness is worse than Throwback confirmed

[zealous glen]

check out L Corp mod

[obtuse scarab]

eureka!

[hushed cradle]

he retriggers aces

was thinking along the lines of scholar works w aces

[wintry solar]

looks perfect!

[hushed cradle]

so somethign smart

[hallow forge]

how often do they play balatro?

[obtuse scarab]

a lot, actually

[hushed cradle]

what on earth

[gilded narwhal]

Hey guys how much does it matter what goes in what lua file

[hallow forge]

wdym?

[gilded narwhal]

Like I see some mods have all their code in one file while some have it spread out over a bunch of different ones

Does spreading it out just make it easier to work with?

[zealous glen]

Remember: always code as if future you got lost for 6 months in antarctica, then got sent back in time to your house hungry and with a machete

[hallow forge]

ofc

im just lazy

[zealous glen]

woohoo

[zealous glen]

very

[gilded narwhal]

But that doesn't actually do anything to the functionality does it

[hallow forge]

no

[obtuse scarab]

initially i was just tossing some joker ideas their way to see how they thought about them

[hallow forge]

the joker idea is simply too weak

i can't think of a situation where you would want to take and keep it, MAYBE you take it if nothing else if availiable

[obtuse scarab]

i'll keep thinking on what it could give to make it worth it

i still think just the base concept of it is cool

[humble tartan]

Has anyone tried to use Steamworks API listener callbacks with luasteam? Like onAuthSessionTicketResponse? I can not for the life of me get any of the callbacks to invoke. I have runCallbacks() running during love.update() but no luck

[wintry solar]

We have progress

[hallow forge]

deck pages! ... wait

[hushed cradle]

if i do an or of 2 numbers will it give the higher one?

[gilded narwhal]

What is this for

[edgy reef]

What in the

[gilded narwhal]

This is in joker evolution

[edgy reef]

Oh, I thought this was a code moment
