[hushed cradle]

hmm

[frosty dock]

I am not, it was just an educated guess

I saw it was getting that UIE by ID for pasting seeds, so I thought it might be relevant

I could be wrong though

[hushed cradle]

i mean youve def got a better idea than me

ill look through the source code and hope i find smth

ah

i think you may be right

but theres more ids used in the text input

like prompt and position

so ill change those too and see what happens

i think im just gonna patch the create_text_input to take its own id prefix or smth

and append that to each id

because every letter node has an id

[gilded narwhal]

Okay so here's the function I want to have

Is there any errors you can spot

[frosty dock]

looks alright to me

[gilded narwhal]

Hmm

Maybe there's something in the code that prevents you from modifying the base mid-run

[frosty dock]

it wont' show on the preview correctly until you actually start the blind if you do it mid-ante

[gilded narwhal]

It doesn't show when I start the blind either

[frosty dock]

get_blind_amount is definitely being called on set_blind

not so sure what's up with that, how are you changing the function?

[gilded narwhal]

As in the lovely patch?

[frosty dock]

sorry dumb question, i should have just scrolled up

i forgor

[gilded narwhal]

Well I did add another line

[frosty dock]

have you checked the lovely dump?

[gilded narwhal]

I have not

How do you check that?

[frosty dock]

open Mods/lovely/dump/functions/misc_functions.lua and search for the function you're modifying

you'll see it as it's actually being run

then you can debug from there

possible the change isn't taking effect due to setting ante_multiplier to 1 somewhere unintended?

[gilded narwhal]

So the lovely patch did work correctly

Idea

Maybe as I'm selecting blind, ante multiplier gets set to 1 again

[frosty dock]

yeah that's what I mean

check what places these ante_multiplier = 1 patches are hitting

[gilded narwhal]

Okay so actually I just changed ante_multiplier to 0.5 manually and it still does nothing

[frosty dock]

wdym manually?

[gilded narwhal]

Like I changed G.GAME.ante_multiplier = 1.0 to G.GAME.ante_multiplier = 0.5 in the files

I'm gonna see how betmma does it

[frosty dock]

wait so you're setting it to 0.5 at the start of get_blind_amount or no?

[gilded narwhal]

Yes

[frosty dock]

can you screencap and send the dump of that function?

[gilded narwhal]

This?

[frosty dock]

and that doesn't work??

what mods are you running?

[gilded narwhal]

Cryptid, Talisman, and twewy

ALso debugplus

Okay so good news

It works fine when

[frosty dock]

cryptid does also change get_blind_amount

[gilded narwhal]

I removed all the mods

[frosty dock]

so that's probably why

[gilded narwhal]

Cryptid incompatibility :(

[frosty dock]

i think for what you're trying to accomplish, a hook would be cleaner than lovely patches

local gba = get_blind_amount
function get_blind_amount(ante)
  return gba(ante)*G.GAME.ante_multiplier
end

[gilded narwhal]

That's it?

[frosty dock]

you're just trying to multiply the return value by some number

[gilded narwhal]

Man I made that way too complicated

[frosty dock]

and even for that, I think G.GAME.starting_params.ante_scaling already takes that role?

[gilded narwhal]

In my defense tho I did not know how to hook

[gilded narwhal]

See now could I do that but only for one ante

Because all of what I'm doing is to make it so one ante is smaller

Lemme try something first tho

[gilded narwhal]

Do I just put this anywhere or does it have to be in the same file as get_blind_amount

[wintry solar]

In your local mod file

[gilded narwhal]

Ty

[gilded narwhal]

This did not work

So good news

[zealous glen]

I have a Joker that increases the Blind amount at the start of a Blind

Both because I didn’t want to figure out how to update the UI, but also because it reduces the motivation to sell it mid-round

[gilded narwhal]

idk why I expected this to work

[frosty dock]

lmao there's no card here

good one

you might wanna iterate G.jokers.cards

[gilded narwhal]

I'm just trying random stuff

Like it works for all antes but I just want it to work for only one ante

[wintry solar]

having an issue where my configs aren't getting loaded back in on a restart of the game, have I missed something obvious?

[frosty dock]

that may or may not be my fault, let me check

[wintry solar]

I'm using local mod = SMODS.current_mod and then referencing mod.config

[frosty dock]

are you modifying mod.config outside of settings?

actually nvm it's my fault

[wintry solar]

no

ah I see the mistake too now

[frosty dock]

fixed

[wintry solar]

👍

[gilded narwhal]

Hey guys is there a thing like context.changing_ante or something

[wintry solar]

more tabs

[hushed cradle]

i cant figure out the multiple text input boxes for the life of me

if anyone happens to look at it at any point and figure smth out please tell me

[lament fjord]

What's the path to the lua shared library for the mac release of Balatro?

[frosty dock]

wdym, like the game directory where the app file is?

or the save folder

[lament fjord]

yeah, in relation to the balatro executable or whatever

(I don't have experience with mac systems)

[frosty dock]

wait so do you want to know where the executable is or where something inside that executable is?

[lament fjord]

I'm looking for the path to the interpreter

The thing that corresponds to what lua51.dll is in the windows release

[frosty dock]

I'm not sure I can help then, I don't have a mac system or even executable at hand

[languid mirage]

for the case of keybind config, you can have buttons that open sub menu with input field to change keybind for that action

[hushed cradle]

thats such a good idea

[languid mirage]

It's workaround but it should be easier than figuring out the correct way of doing it, especially if you don't plan on adding something more complex

[hushed cradle]

this was my idea of a solution lmao

not aligned yet ofc

but yours is so much better

thank you

[willow quiver]

any info on how wildcarding works in lovely patch patterns? I want to patch every line that starts w a given substring

[solemn coral]

I believe it will patch all lines that match your pattern

[willow quiver]

right, but the readme has a wildcardish example: pattern = "(?<indent>[\t ]*)if (?<cond>_context.type == 'eval' then)" and Im not quite sure how to make sense of it

[tepid crow]

that's regex

[willow quiver]

oh

[tepid crow]

https://regexr.com might be interesting if you're unfamiliar with regex?

[willow quiver]

i know regex, but the engines i've used it in don't really look quite like this...

like <indent>

or question mark being used by itself

[tepid crow]

(?<name>) is a regex named capture group

[willow quiver]

oh, that is new to me. TIL

I guess i got tripped up. the readme mentioned that pattern could use * and ? as non-regex wildacrds i think

[tepid crow]

that's patches.pattern vs patches.regex I believe

[oblique gust]

this made me want a daily bounty board mod now

[crisp coral]

are there any workarounds for cards with context.destroying_card trigger making other cards with that context not trigger

for example, Sixth Sense and Nameless Fetus [If the first hand of round has only 1 card, destroy it, ...]. if i play a singular 6, Sixth Sense would proc first and mark the 6 as destroyed, so Nameless Fetus cannot proc its effect

[shell tangle]

Maybe try using a context.before somehow?

[crisp coral]

destroying cards in any context other than context.destroying_card creates a ghost card

and if i modify the code itself then multiple copies of Sixth Sense would work which is non-vanilla behavior

[shell tangle]

Something like, add a check in context.before, then trigger destruction in context.destroying_card if possible, and then activate the ability if the check passed? Does feel like it'd be a very makeshift work-around, though.

[crisp coral]

oh hm

[willow quiver]

so you want 2 destroyers to proc if theyre diff jokers, but only proc one if they're the same?

[crisp coral]

i want to retain all vanilla behaviors

as long as vanilla cards aren't touched i'm fine with it

so i'll try the context.before thing

[wary dirge]

How do i change the number of initial hands a deck gives?

Or make a deck start with +1 hand

[night pagoda]

Does SMODS.Seal not have update field?

[wintry solar]

Update field?

What would that do?

[night pagoda]

run every tick? like Jokers?

[wintry solar]

oh I missed that form jokers

[night pagoda]

was a bit confused when wanted to use it but it had no output of any kind

[wintry solar]

I guess not, seals aren't really centers in terms of the game

[night pagoda]

still would be handy

[wintry solar]

# Card:update()
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = 'if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then'
position = 'before'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
local obj = G.P_SEALS[self.seal] or {}
if obj.update and type(obj.update) == 'function' then
    obj:update(self, dt)
end'''

throw this in a .toml for now

I'll set it patched into SMODS with some other seal logic later on

[night pagoda]

🫡

thanks!

[frosty dock]

cleaner additions tab anyone?

[maiden phoenix]

Neat

[frosty dock]

right side looks a bit empty on this one, but I don't think I'll auto-balance

[maiden phoenix]

Is this part of the recent config addition or something different?

[frosty dock]

yeah it's part of it

i just refined it to remove empty tabs instead of greying them out

[maiden phoenix]

Couldnt it be done automatically on SMODS object creation?

[frosty dock]

wdym

[maiden phoenix]

If I call say "SMODS.Joker" it adds it to the thing in the pic above

[frosty dock]

you mean like saving separate object lists for each mod?

[maiden phoenix]

Instead of manually inputting it in a config file

[frosty dock]

oh it isn't via config

it's just there

[maiden phoenix]

Oh you said that so I thought

[maiden phoenix]

Thats very cool then

[frosty dock]

also hides the consumables box and full columns when they'd be empty

there's still red deck bug which I have to look into, I'll still push up what I have

[wintry solar]

Oooo nice

Is there a planned solution to the main collection with custom consumables types?

[frosty dock]

yeah but I'm not sure of specifics yet

might do that next

[crisp coral]

i don't need to request again right......

[frosty dock]

request what, the booster dupe bug?

[crisp coral]

removing consumable types from collection

[frosty dock]

oh I thought you were referring to something else

yeah I'm on it

[crisp coral]

yay

[frosty dock]

thoughts on localizing mod names / descriptions?

[lament fjord]

I finally figured out why I can't get require("string.buffer") to work: It's because Balatro uses luajit 2.0 and not 2.1

[frosty dock]

doesn't quite seem right how everything else is localizable now but mod names and descriptions aren't

[lament fjord]

Localthunk pls

[frosty dock]

oh damn

[maiden phoenix]

I mean it's a plus imo

[frosty dock]

I surely can't cut support for the current header components for backcompat reasons

but there's also 3 different ways to do other loc text, so whatever

it could also act as a way to allow actual text formatting

[brisk pond]

me patiently waiting for "Balatro'UI for dummies - A modder's guide" to drop from someone

[wintry solar]

it's in progress

[lament fjord]

Can I formally ask Localthunk to bump the underlying luajit to 2.1

[languid mirage]

#1234623685743087666 message

tho Idk what version was used before that might've caused performance issues

actually nvm

says that it was 2.0.5

yea Idk why it's not 2.1

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[zealous glen]

Joker tooltips aren’t too hard

I’m getting some idea of how other tooltips can work

[lament fjord]

Luajit does rolling releases, so today's 2.1 might have solved the problems of the 2.1 tried in 1.0.1e

Do we know what kind of conditions contributed to that problem?

[hushed cradle]

would anyone know how to get the box on the right to be drawn on top?

its hidden under the other joker atm

[languid mirage]

the tooltip would need to be drawn after the other joker

I think that's how it works? I remember someone mentioning that

people just add tooltips below the main one

to fix that

[hushed cradle]

right

it looks like i can change the draw layer manually after creating the ui box

so im gonna try that

no idea what i have to change it to but ill trial and error

[lament fjord]

Mad science idea: Lug in a later version of LuaJIT and then load some modules in from it

Will this bork anything horribly?

[frosty dock]

guys

[frosty dock]

surely not

[crisp coral]

based as hell

[frosty dock]

adding pages to this was more annoying than I thought, given I don't really know much about object nodes

[royal ether]

the way balatro does rendering priorities is G.I.[whatever], so try moving it up through the tables in G.I until it renders on top

you can find the priority it renders stuff in Game:draw()

top to bottom its G.I.POPUP, G.I.ALERT, G.I.UIBOX, G.I.CARD, G.I.CARDAREA, G.I.UIBOX (again for some reason idk), G.I.MOVEABLE, G.I.NODE

maybe your uibox isnt being drawn in the 2nd uibox render so thats probably why its being put under cards?

idk

[hushed cradle]

thank you

can i table.insert at a specific point?

i dont use much lua

[royal ether]

yea you just table.insert(table, pos, value)

[hushed cradle]

cool

cheers

[lament fjord]

Hmm... What if lovely_injector also exported a lua module allowing lua code to do its own patch applications

[zealous glen]

Huh

[royal ether]

basically it groups objects into the G.I tables and thats how it chooses what to render over what

i.e G.I.CARD is rendered over G.I.CARDAREA

if you look in Game:draw() it makes more sense

[lament fjord]

Okay, I think I have something I want to put down now because I don't want to forget it:

Keep around a (compiled) regex for determining if the ends of a span are word boundaries. If they are, apply whitespace padding to the ends of the patch if needed so it doesn't unintentionally merge into existing tokens

[river panther]

Trying to make a joker that swaps mult and chips not sure how to go about this though

[shell tangle]

Find where chips and mult are stored in G.GAME, store one value, let's say mult, current mult = current chips, then current chips = stored mult.

[languid mirage]

in Lua you can just
a, b = b, a

[shell tangle]

Or that. Neat.

[wintry solar]

There’s also a swap return that does it for you iirc

[hushed cradle]

local save_ref = Card.save
function Card:save()
    local ref_return = save_ref(self)
    ref_return.st_counter = self.st_counter
    return ref_return
end

local load_ref = Card.load
function Card:load(cardTable, other_card)
    self.st_counter = cardTable.st_counter
    load_ref(self, cardTable, other_card)
end

adding this to my code gives me the error at the top

i have no idea what the problem is

[zealous glen]

does replacing the hooks with function Card.functionname(self, args) work?

[hushed cradle]

ill try

no

[hushed cradle]

fixed my problem

basically part of the save table is text_drawable

which is a userdata value

but i think its only made when you create ui for smth

so i basically removed the ui to save it, then created ui for it again when its loaded

[austere schooner]

maybe a stupid question but
context.before is the context of before playing a hand and context.after is after, right

or do i need different contexts for that

[brisk pond]

before is when Space Joker levels up your hand, after is when Ice Cream loses 5 Chips

[austere schooner]

okay so i need the context for "after a hand is played and scored" I think

context.after_hand?

...is there just a big list of contexts anywhere

[frosty dock]

#1247703015222149120

[austere schooner]

excellent

[weak depot]

this look good?

[unkempt thicket]

how would you check if a card does not have a modification (enhancement, edition, and seal)?

[lusty epoch]

Enhancement is something like if context.other_card.ability.effect == base
Edition i think do something like if not context.other_card.edition

Dunno about seal though

[wooden nexus]

Oh dang it, not again

I mean the deck idea is good but good grief

[unkempt thicket]

this works, ty

[mellow sable]

hmm

[unkempt thicket]

hmm

[mellow sable]

doesn't work on my 1 in 1e100 joker

😭

[maiden phoenix]

Is it me or the banana badge looks too bright on a debuffed cards compared to other ones

[crisp coral]

yea they didn't get hit with the debuff shader

[mellow sable]

The modded stickers are being rendered after the debuff shader

[crisp coral]

also https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1248249207526002698/1255189988841357383/SPOILER_image.png

[maiden phoenix]

I have a dilema right now. I have a Joker that can be activated once per ante with an extra variable thats true/false when it can be activated and is blueprint compatible, thing is I dont know. Thing is I dont know how to prevent the blueprint card from activating the joker when its inactive since the extra variable doesn't exist in the blueprint card

[frosty dock]

blueprint runs calculate on the card being copied, so it'll use the same value

though setting it to false after use might prevent blueprint from activating the ability

[maiden phoenix]

Yea but "card.ability.extra.x" doesnt exist on blueprint

[frosty dock]

yeah but it's not being accessed on blueprint either

blueprint is in context.blueprint_card

[maiden phoenix]

Its trying to, I get an error saying "ability" doesnt exists

[frosty dock]

blueprint surely has ability

are you sure you're not using the center instead of the card?

[maiden phoenix]

This is what I have so far roughly:

if context.ending_shop
  if card.ability.extra.do_stuff then
      --- do stuff
      if not context.blueprint then
        card.ability.extra.do_stuff = false
      end
  end
  if context.end_of_round and boss and not context.blueprint then
    card.ability.extra.do_stuff = true
  end
end

in the calculate function (self,card,context) of SMODS.Joker

Oh wth I have no idea how but I fixed it uhm

[wintry solar]

@frosty dock is it possible for this to still display the base consumables and then have a modded consumables option at the bottom?

[frosty dock]

sure it's possible, but seems a bit arbitrary?

[wintry solar]

I just need to get used to the big orange button 😆

[frosty dock]

meanwhile I'm not so sure about the Other button

[oblique gust]

i love the big orange button it looks cute

[crisp coral]

lobcorp configs?

feat. reused houserules code

consistency with the mod ui height now

[wintry solar]

👀

[edgy reef]

There’s a lot more mods that hijack consumables to get their added objects so it basically just leaves D6 Jokers as the one mod using the button rn.

I’m adding a stickers tab to it so D6 Sides won’t be lonely.

[crisp coral]

contracts might use that

[fallen tendon]

imm trying to add multiple use buttons to a consumable

how can i make them all do sommething diferent

just like sending a value into the use function

[wintry solar]

"you can only have one text input" they say

[fallen tendon]

im sorry you can put text input on a card??????

[brisk pond]

in a UI box

[fallen tendon]

i need a method of choosing a rank from 1-ace for a card

and i dont think making 14 use buttons is a good idea

so figuring out those text inputs could be a good idea

oh god every time i forget how unreadable the ui code is it comes back to haunt me

[brisk pond]

you could do it with two buttons: [<] [>]

or with one that does +1

[fallen tendon]

i can definitely figure this out... definitely

also what the hell are even nodes lol

[brisk pond]

I just had this conversation

read from this message #1264020405400633354 message

[wintry solar]

Please note that my guide in there is far from complete

[brisk pond]

show us the way, jedi master

pls send the code

[fallen tendon]

please spare me

this code is actually so painful

[zealous glen]

No one will be spared from UI

[wintry solar]

UI code isn't too bad as long as you don't use auto format on it

then it looks like shit

from this to this

🤮

[fallen tendon]

what

that looks better

also i am ANGRY

it refuses to give me a text box

[wintry solar]

which one looks better?

[mellow sable]

Maybe you could show a pop-up menu when pressing the use button?

[fallen tendon]

right one

[zealous glen]

Can the right be generated automatically on Sublime?

[fallen tendon]

ig...

but like, how do you even make one

how do you initialize ui elements from within use_consumable

[zealous glen]

You could use text inputs

[fallen tendon]

thats what ive been trying

[zealous glen]

Or selecting from hand

[fallen tendon]

the text inputs just refuse to work

[wintry solar]

ugh no the right one is awful for tracking the nesting of nodes

[zealous glen]

I think reworking mechanics for UI reasons can be interesting

[wintry solar]

what's your code alex?

[zealous glen]

I think it’s easier

You can tell by the number of tabs

And sublime allows you to close specific nodes

[mellow sable]

Also the UI in Cryptid is already pretty weird

[zealous glen]

Well, Lua tables

[mellow sable]

Like controller doesn’t work half the time

[zealous glen]

But you know what I mean

[fallen tendon]

this is the current state of the function im operating in

this is only for using it from packs

using it when its in slots is a whole nother ballpark

the second part of it is for code cards in general

they all work

[zealous glen]

Anyways, @wintry solar , do you know if the right formatting could be automated?

It would be so helpful

[fallen tendon]

im trying to add just a simple text input above the card

[zealous glen]

I have an adapted print function to see UI nodes that almost does that

[wintry solar]

I have a VSCode extension that'll format it that way, yeah

[zealous glen]

But I meant inside Sublime

Oh maybe I should use VSCode

What’s the extension

[edgy reef]

Y’all autoformat UI nodes?

[wintry solar]

I think it's this one https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=esbenp.prettier-vscode

or this one https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=yinfei.luahelper

Alex, can I see where you try to add the text input?

[zealous glen]

It doesn’t seem to support Lua

Unless I missed it

[wintry solar]

I don't remember if it does or not

[zealous glen]

@fallen tendon try printing the UI elements

[fallen tendon]

im thinking of just hooking in a new popup menu into the use function

i genuinely think it might be easier to just make a new ui box lol

[wintry solar]

what happens when you remove all those empty rows too?

[zealous glen]

It has a format function but I can’t seem to get it to work

[wintry solar]

just right click and press format document

or Shift+Alt+F

[fallen tendon]

no clue

[zealous glen]

Nothing changes

Oh I think there was a syntax error, that’s why it didn’t do anything

[fallen tendon]

so uhhh, slight problem

how do i call the create_UIBox functions properly?

[wintry solar]

Did it work now, Victin?

[fallen tendon]

yay it crashed meaning its finally doing something

im getting thhis message

    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        self.HUD = UIBox{
            definition = create_UIBox_variable(),
            config = {align=('cc'), offset = {x=0,y=0},major = G.ROOM_ATTACH}
        }
    end
}

function create_UIBox_variable()
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        blockable = false,
        func = function()
          G.REFRESH_ALERTS = true
        return true
        end
      }))
    local t = create_UIBox_generic_options({contents = {
        UIBox_button({button = 'Done', label = {Done}, minw = 5, focus_args = {snap_to = true}})
    }})
end

seems that the issue is that something is missing a parent

[rough furnace]

Yeah my formatter makes some code worse

[zealous glen]

Yes

[zealous glen]

Or you have one table too many

Is the return wrapped in curly braces?

[wintry solar]

I don't think you have a return at all

I think create_UIBox_variable needs to have return t

[rough furnace]

Like this block always gets screwed up https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/blob/master/core.lua#L329

[fallen tendon]

oh god what did i do

[wintry solar]

I just format my code by hand (:

[rough furnace]

I mean my IDE is smart enough to do indenying 90℅ of the time so it's not a big deal

[wintry solar]

yeah

[zealous glen]

Like cavefoxes

[rough furnace]

I mostly use it when moving code around or particularly nasty code

[zealous glen]

c/o?

[fallen tendon]

YESSSSSSS

NOW I JUST NEED IT TO BE AN ACTUAL POPUP AND NOW WHATEVER THE HELL THIS IS

[rough furnace]

What?

[zealous glen]

What do you need 220 frames for

[fallen tendon]

i just have vsync off and i have a pretty good laptop

[wintry solar]

is your button the entire screen?

[fallen tendon]

something like that

im doing some testing rn

[rough furnace]

Oh

Sorry I got a new phone not used to the keyboard fully yet

%

[zealous glen]

I’m just curious what does it even mean

[rough furnace]

Idk

Care of

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/care_of

[zealous glen]

That’s what I found too

[wintry solar]

what a bizarrely niche symbol to put on a keyboard

@fallen tendon you could try throwing a text_input in there now

[fallen tendon]

ik

the probles is i cant get it to not be nearly the entire screen'

[rough furnace]

I mean it is in the sort of niche page of keys.

[fallen tendon]

or get the butttons to display

[wintry solar]

Ooo I have this one ‰

I don't think you want to use create_UIBox_generic_options

[fallen tendon]

oooh im sorta getting there

[zealous glen]

That makes sense, at least; it’s “per mille” or something like that

[zealous glen]

Try looking at fusion or evolving Jokers

Betmma had activatable objects too

[fallen tendon]

No im making an actual popup

managed to get it to exist

it just needs to be not there

[wintry solar]

try putting instance_type = "POPUP" in your config

note: I haven't tested how this works properly

[fallen tendon]

just that?

[wintry solar]

I think it'll bring it to the front

huh

[zealous glen]

Arachne I was talking about the order that different elements are drawn yesterday

[wintry solar]

yeah I saw that

I just haven't had chance to try it out

[fallen tendon]

its in a slightly better spot

but the popup thing did not work

oh that was because i accidentally put instacne

so, how do i define a function to be executed by a button

[wintry solar]

button = "function_name"

and the fucntion needs to be in G.FUNCS

[fallen tendon]

oh ok

[fallen tendon]

mission failed successfully

i have no clue whats going on here

[wintry solar]

code pls

[wintry solar]

and how do you want it to look?

[fallen tendon]

i want it to be either in a column or a row

just a positioning where the text field isnt outside of the window

[wintry solar]

wrap each in a {n=G.UIT.C, nodes = {*INSERT HERE*}}

[fallen tendon]

also weird thing, the button doesnt appear until you click the text box

[wintry solar]

that is strange

I've found base text_inputs very strange tbh

[frosty dock]

they are

[wintry solar]

I just need to convert my changes into a lovely patch though and then at least you can ahve more than one

[fallen tendon]

oh also how do you close a window

[wintry solar]

put 'exit_overlay_menu' as the function of a button somewhere

or press escape

or call G.FUNCS.exit_overlay_menu() somewhere

[fallen tendon]

great

[wintry solar]

I built my own button

[fallen tendon]

hhhhh so now when i press the apply button the card switches rank, but it doesnt exit the menu

G.FUNCS.variable_apply = function()
    if G.ENTERED_RANK == "1" or G.ENTERED_RANK == "2" or G.ENTERED_RANK == "3" or G.ENTERED_RANK == "4" or G.ENTERED_RANK == "5" or G.ENTERED_RANK == "6" or G.ENTERED_RANK == "7" or G.ENTERED_RANK == "8" or G.ENTERED_RANK == "9" or G.ENTERED_RANK == "10" or G.ENTERED_RANK == "J" or G.ENTERED_RANK == "Q" or G.ENTERED_RANK == "K" or G.ENTERED_RANK == "A" then
        G.FUNCS.exit_overlay_menu()
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.4, func = function()
            play_sound('tarot1')
            return true end }))
        for i=1, #G.hand.highlighted do
            local percent = 1.15 - (i-0.999)/(#G.hand.highlighted-0.998)*0.3
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.15,func = function() G.hand.highlighted[i]:flip();play_sound('card1', percent);G.hand.highlighted[i]:juice_up(0.3, 0.3);return true end }))
        end
        delay(0.2)
        for i=1, #G.hand.highlighted do
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.1,func = function()
                local card = G.hand.highlighted[i]
                local suit_prefix = string.sub(card.base.suit, 1, 1)..'_'
                local rank_suffix = G.ENTERED_RANK
                if rank_suffix == 10 then rank_suffix = 'T'
                end
                card:set_base(G.P_CARDS[suit_prefix..rank_suffix])
                return true end }))
        end  
        for i=1, #G.hand.highlighted do
            local percent = 0.85 + (i-0.999)/(#G.hand.highlighted-0.998)*0.3
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.15,func = function() G.hand.highlighted[i]:flip();play_sound('tarot2', percent, 0.6);G.hand.highlighted[i]:juice_up(0.3, 0.3);return true end }))
        end
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.2,func = function() G.hand:unhighlight_all(); return true end }))
        delay(0.5)
    end
end

[frosty dock]

call G.FUNCS.exit_overlay_menu() at the end

[fallen tendon]

ok

can i still do it in the if statement?

cuz i dont want to completely waste the consumable if you type in an invalid string

[frosty dock]

yeah it just won't exit if you do that

maybe add an alert or something that it's invalid

[fallen tendon]

ok

actually what if i put in a premature return

the function is still at the top scope

actually uhhhh changing it still did nothing

or not, i didnt save it lol

ok it still doesnt work

fun

[brisk pond]

this is fun

of course I have no idea what is going on

[fallen tendon]

YES

IT WORKS

[brisk pond]

🎉

video of demonstration and code. now.

please 🥺

[wintry solar]

is this your entire code?

[brisk pond]

this is the code for that row

[wintry solar]

what's your entire code for the config tab?

[wintry solar]

what button are you pressing in your clip?

[brisk pond]

everything there is on a keyboard

[fallen tendon]

literally just shift + J

it uses the rank suffixes

[wintry solar]

what happens if you remove max_length

[fallen tendon]

so it goes 2-9, T, J, Q, K, A

[wintry solar]

🙃

[fallen tendon]

nothing, it uses a whitelist

[wintry solar]

alex pls

[brisk pond]

same thing

[fallen tendon]

what

it lets you type more than one character

[wintry solar]

I was talking to Cerlo 😆

[fallen tendon]

oh ok

[brisk pond]

🤣

[wintry solar]

I know how to type a J

it's cool though

how did you end up making it close?

oh

you just remove the node?

[fallen tendon]

yeah

turns out removing the overlay doesnt work if it isnt an overlay

[frosty dock]

fun

[fallen tendon]

and if it was an overlay it still doesnt work because the game is frozen

[brisk pond]

maybe it's something wrong for ref_table and ref_value

[wintry solar]

this dynamic text scaling is pretty neat

[brisk pond]

the problem is if I click "Backspace" the text continues to shrink

[brisk pond]

can you pass the code for the red input button?

[wintry solar]

ah figured it out

change your maxh and maxw in the root node to minh and minw

[night pagoda]

I'm trying to inject into misc_functions.lua, but it doesn't work 90% of the time, what am I doing wrong???

[wintry solar]

needs full line

[night pagoda]

oof

still nothing

[wintry solar]

does SMODS hit this before you do?

[night pagoda]

don't think so, double checked

will try remove space

now it works

💀

[brisk pond]

it works

but just when I do one text input

when I do two, the first isn't loaded

[wintry solar]

yeah

only I can do two

🙃

[frosty dock]

yeah multiple text inputs on vanilla create_text_input doesn't work

[wintry solar]

aure would you prefer overriding them or injecting to fix it?

[brisk pond]

please, teach me the Way

[frosty dock]

you can inject if it doesn't turn the function into a theseus ship ig

it's fine to override if that's cleaner

[wintry solar]

nah it's not too bad

just plonking some different id values in there

[frosty dock]

yeah that should be alright to inject

[fallen tendon]

what if you just used an option cycle

[brisk pond]

?

[fallen tendon]

these things

[brisk pond]

because you can input any number

[languid mirage]

this got merged, huge
https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/pull/202

[frosty dock]

I might add a config option for the lowered precision

[languid mirage]

that's fine

I mostly added it for money

because I cba changing the scale_number function

[wintry solar]

huh

text_inputs turn a 0 into a o and need to do shift+0 to get 0

[frosty dock]

probs it's fine to leave since the extra precision is usually negligible

idk

[languid mirage]

thats normal yeah

because in font 0 == o

so thunk just decided to auto convert it (mostly for seeds I think)

didnt know about shift+0 tho

[frosty dock]

huh that's weird

[languid mirage]

yeah, I think past e100 you dont rly care if it's 4e200 or 4.003e200

[frosty dock]

I'll have to agree

[zealous glen]

I wonder how that works on AZERTY keyboards where the only way to type 0 is shift+0

[wintry solar]

okay, let me see what other lovely patches I have that should be making their way into SMODS

[zealous glen]

I need to work on some to make some contributions still v_v

[frosty dock]

work on any of the open issues is appreciated

[zealous glen]

I was thinking of new features :<

[frosty dock]

ofc that's also welcome

[zealous glen]

Like bonus mult for cards and bonus chips and mult for jokers

Among other things

I wanted to add a new object to allow easily adding new calculable CardAreas but the Object type confuses me

[frosty dock]

object type?

[wintry solar]

I have a patch that allows turning the floating question mark off for undiscovered sprites, throw it in atlas.toml?

[frosty dock]

sure

could make it a setting on UndiscoveredSprites whether the question mark should be there or not

[wintry solar]

yeah it is

just needs a patch for where it's drawn to check the value

[fallen tendon]

Actully what if a slider

Then you can input any number from 1-100

And if you have 100 retriggers then what are you doing with your life

[wintry solar]

or just wait for the PR and use inputs!

[brisk pond]

time prediction?

[wintry solar]

just checking it still works

[zealous glen]

The type that is extended for SMODS types like Jokers, PokerHands, etc

[frosty dock]

ah

[zealous glen]

Maybe it’s GameObject

I forget

[frosty dock]

yeah the SMODS type is GameObject

which extends off Object itself

[wintry solar]

the PR is there 🎉

[zealous glen]

How should I extend it?

[frosty dock]

the same way Steamodded object types do, branching off whatever works best (probably GameObject or Center most of the time)

[frosty dock]

looks good, I'll merge

[wintry solar]

man I wish git had a better way to collaborate on the wiki

[frosty dock]

it's possible to set it up as a separate repo apparently

[wintry solar]

also all the smods tabs are now blue

🙃

[zealous glen]

I mean, yeah, but how?

[frosty dock]

too much red on that page tbh

[zealous glen]

I can gauge how to define required keywords from the existing GameObjects

I think

But I’m not sure I understand how one would go about defining a new extension of GameObject correctly

[languid mirage]

you can look at how other gameobjects are specified 🤔

well, it depends I guess

because there's inject and all that

[frosty dock]

you pretty much have required keywords, default values, obj_table (holds objects indexed by key), obj_buffer (holds object keys in order) and whatever functions need to be extended

[languid mirage]

and dont forget inject function that is used to handle all new gameobjects

[brisk pond]

1. Zero becomes o
2. When I click Enter it becomes drunk

[languid mirage]

also that comment is kinda outdated

because it's not just centers

[compact idol]

decided to look at cryptid for starting out with balatro mod dev and it turns out that was the exact wrong move lmao, didn't realize steamodded had a function for adding jokers so I set mine up like cryptid's and then couldn't figure out how to inject them

[languid mirage]

cryptid does the same, but because it does it in batches, it's not the best entry example, yeah

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/tree/main/example_mods/Mods

in case you didn't see this yet

[wintry solar]

can you give me your code again?

[compact idol]

ah, thank you

[tepid crow]

cryptid is probably a bit too complicated for a "starting look" lol

[compact idol]

also doesn't help that I've never used lua before

[frosty dock]

yeah cryptid's wrapper isn't the easiest to wrap your head around for what's actually happening

[wintry solar]

you need to give your text_inputs an id now

[languid mirage]

I never used lua before either

[wintry solar]

id = blabla

[languid mirage]

wasn't the hardest thing to learn with so much source code examples

[frosty dock]

same here

[compact idol]

yeah it seems pretty intuitive to start with

[tepid crow]

I've used lua once before, in a minecraft mod that had robots >:)

[brisk pond]

ok the drunkness is solved

the 0 to o?

[wintry solar]

that's just how the game handles keyboard inputs

do shift+0

[zealous glen]

Some things were defined outside of the type extension which seems counterintuitive to me

[frosty dock]

what things?

[zealous glen]

Like the list of PokerHands

I think every GameObject has a list of all its instances actually

Which makes me think the type GameObject should do it instead of it being user-made

[frosty dock]

yeah SMODS.PokerHands and similar tables are just shortcuts for convenience

SMODS.PokerHand.obj_table is identical

so yeah it kinda does that

[zealous glen]

Okay that makes more sense

Any style guidelines?

[edgy reef]

We should probably clean up the lovely patches for style purposes.

[frosty dock]

inject shouldn't have side effects that stack when reapplied, but prototypes are generally kinda inconsistent rn and we might do something about it

[frosty dock]

that as well

[zealous glen]

The main object I want to add is a helper object to extend calculation

Such that users could register a type and a CardArea to have SMODS automatically iterate over instances in the CardArea and call calculate

[edgy reef]

I think better_calc has stuff relating to that but I haven’t looked at the code too much.

Speaking of CardArea, something to ease handling of it would be nice.

I don’t think we need API for it as CardArea already has the functions and properties you’d want, but there’s loads of hardcoded parts that need to be messed with to make custom ones.

And said hardcoding fixes could screw with other mods that also try to fix it for their CardArea.

[frosty dock]

yeah that's fine

break 'em

[brisk pond]

I have a problem with getting the value of the config settings

it says that current_mod is a nil value

[wintry solar]

yes

you have to save it in top scope

[brisk pond]

?

[wintry solar]

just delete that function you've added

the update_config one

[brisk pond]

the code is now using current_mod.config.MaxRedSeals and it is still nil

I tried config.MaxRedSeals but it is still nil

[frosty dock]

you should save a local reference to config at top scope in your mod

[wintry solar]

oh, they're not in your main file

is that the reason?

local values in a file that's loaded in?

[brisk pond]

ok now it doesn't crash

still, when I change the value in the config menu, it doesn't update the variable

[tepid crow]

does it work when you don't seperate the files?

[frosty dock]

as long as you change the value in <mod>.config, steamodded will save to file when exiting the mods menu

(not to config.lua though, that stays unchanged and acts as a default)

[brisk pond]

where do I add that line of code?

I have to get the input from the input box

[wintry solar]

I think if you put everything in one file it'll be fine

[brisk pond]

nope

I tried merging the main file and config_tab.lua

[wintry solar]

let's see what you have now then

[wintry solar]

well yeah, you're fixing the values as soon as you load the config

[brisk pond]

that's what the function was for

updating the config values

[wintry solar]

just put the tonumber(config.RedSealsPerCard) wherever you need it in your code

[brisk pond]

now it crashes if I open the config page

[wintry solar]

well then you changed something you shouldn't have done

[brisk pond]

found the problem

[brisk pond]

if I remove these lines, the config page crashes

if I keep them, the game has problems

[wintry solar]

you need the top one...

that's how you access your config

[brisk pond]

i'm trying a solution

[wintry solar]

but I've given you the solution?

[brisk pond]

your solution doesn't work

when I access config, it crashes

sending you the file and the crash report

1. start a run
2. modify the values in the config page (it needs a number with "0")
3. apply a Deja Vu

line 109 is this one if card.ability.SRSreps > tonumber(config.MaxRedSeals) and tonumber(config.MaxRedSeals) >= 0 then

[shell tangle]

Don't think it'd be it, but what happens if you delete the .jkr that has the configs saved and try again?

[brisk pond]

from where?

[shell tangle]

Where your profiles are located in appdata, there's a new folder besides 1, 2, 3, and Mods called config.

[wintry solar]

What are the values in the config file?

[brisk pond]

but when i start the game they are 5 and 5

[wintry solar]

No not that one

[brisk pond]

as per the last time I updated those

[wintry solar]

The one someone just mentioned

[brisk pond]

return {
    ["SRS_MaxRedSeals"] = 15,
    ["disable_collapse"] = false,
    ["RedSealsPerCard"] = "5",
    ["MaxRedSeals"] = "6",
    ["RedSealsForCard"] = 10,
    ["hide_empty"] = false,
    ["hide_by_default"] = false,
    ["default_rows"] = {
        ["SRS_RedSealsForCard"] = 1,
        ["SRS_MaxRedSeals"] = -1,
        ["modifiers"] = true,
    },
    ["enabled"] = true,
    ["SRS_RedSealsForCard"] = 10,
    ["small_rows"] = {
        ["reminder"] = false,
        ["extra"] = false,
        ["modifiers"] = true,
    },
    ["reload"] = false,
}```

wait a sec

no I got nothing

[wintry solar]

Try deleting it

[brisk pond]

I'll delete this and retry

[wintry solar]

I don’t think that’s the problem but this config is all wrong anyway

Can you delete the bit where it checks it’s above 0?

[brisk pond]

it works until I put a 0

like 10, 20

[wintry solar]

Every other number works?

[brisk pond]

yeah

[shell tangle]

Nice lucky guess, I suppose.

[brisk pond]

maybe it's the fact that 0 = O

and tonumber() has problems

[wintry solar]

How are you typing zero?

[brisk pond]

Shift + Zero

[wintry solar]

Oh

[frosty dock]

just use string.gsub and replace the O with 0

[wintry solar]

Shift + zero must be capital

Why does it swap 0 for o?

[mellow sable]

looks same in font

[frosty dock]

seeds

[mellow sable]

what's funny is neither of them can appear in natural seeds

[brisk pond]

so instead of tonumber(config.RedSealsPerCard) i do tonumber(string.gsub(config.RedSealsPerCard),"O",0)?

[mellow sable]

but in seeded runs it matters

[frosty dock]

these brackets are off

but yeah

actually no

these can also be numbers

what

just do the number parsing on the input

[wintry solar]

That is the input

[frosty dock]

maybe I'm confused because it's on the input

I'd still be worried for types

[frosty dock]

like I said, your brackets are wrong

[brisk pond]

card.ability.SRSreps = tonumber(string.gsub(config.RedSealsPerCard,"O","0"))

I read that

[frosty dock]

oh i see

card.ability.SRSreps = tonumber((string.gsub(config.RedSealsPerCard,"O","0")))

[wintry solar]

I’d throw an :upper on there too

[frosty dock]

the extra parentheses should cast it to one return value

[brisk pond]

I love how the solution to my problems is always some magic that I could have never thought of

the solution is: just add some more parentheses lol

[frosty dock]

yeah that's stupid

I didn't know about that behavior before reading it in lua docs somewhat randomly

[wintry solar]

Why does the extended_corpus contain 0 and ) if it changes them before it ever reaches that point anyway

[frosty dock]

idk

moment

[wintry solar]

Maybe there needs to be a number_input instead, this workaround is quite unintuitive

I don’t think many people will link their zeros being converted to Os

In fact it could just be an argument on the text input to skip over that exchange

[brisk pond]

I totally think it so too

[brisk pond]

I was having a stroke for this

[tepid crow]

can lovely not handle random {s?

(lovely regex, specifically)

[rough furnace]

are you escaping them

[crisp coral]

i think Archipelago fixed the text input to input the player slot and whatnot

(Archipelago as in, the mod BalatroAP)

[frosty dock]

\{ should do

[tepid crow]

I know, but from some quick testing, I don't need to escape it in js, python or perl

oh wow, it's rust specific actually

and php, js, python, go, C# dont care

neat

[wintry solar]

Does it have multiple on the same screen?

[crisp coral]

yea it has 3 or 4 idr

address/port, slot name, password

[wintry solar]

Yeah I see it now

It does what I was planning for 0 slightly differently but it is functionally the same

[frosty dock]

wow is it? doesn't regex always have {n} for n repetitions?

[tepid crow]

Haha, I might've exaggerated that because of my annoyance with my regex testing.
Most languages seem to consider the { (and }) as normal text when it's not valid/not matching?
I tested my regex using both using python and js, and both compiled and matched without issue

Seems like at least java and rust don't do that, and error out when not valid and not escaped

[brisk pond]

oh no

I wanted them to be aligned vertically

but the gold text and the black row are aligned horizontally

[wintry solar]

You need to put the text inside its own row

[brisk pond]

I tried and it ended very badly

maybe the text is too long

no that isn't the problem

[wintry solar]

What did you change it to?

[wintry solar]

Hold G and press A and see which node is stretching the display

[brisk pond]

it's done

it now works

i published it
#1264020405400633354 message

[crisp coral]

what the hell

[primal mirage]

Hi, is there a good "getting started" for modding Balatro?

[tepid crow]

something like https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started or are you looking for something else?

also, nice to see bojack

[primal mirage]

Seems like a decent doc, @tepid crow thank you!

[compact idol]

how does #num# in the loc_txt of the modded jokers actually work? I can tell it's referencing the config array by index, but I can't tell why it works through an extra layer of array or why it isn't working for me

it just says +ERROR in the specified boxes ingame for me

[mellow sable]

scary UI box

[unkempt thicket]

how do you check if you have a certain joker?

[mellow sable]

i use next(find_joker()) but there's definitely something more elegant

[crisp coral]

that's the way thunk does it so

shrug

[mellow sable]

i think steamodded added something better i just forgot what that was

[edgy reef]

SMODS.find_card

[crisp coral]

SMODS.

yea

that just takes keys instead of names

[rough furnace]

I'm finally working on some debug commands

Here's the one's I got planned rn

if anyone things of some other good ones, let me know

[mellow sable]

one to spawn a card by id?

like spawn blueprint or something?

[rough furnace]

i can add it to a list to see

not sure how difficult it would be

actually, I do want you to be able to bind to keys and having a spawn blueprint key would be handy

[languid mirage]

if you do rank then maybe also do suit

free rerolls can be achieved with infinite money so I dont think that's necessary

spawn tag

probably is a good command

because I dont think debug mod has hotkey for that

set probability

set hand size?

generate & open pack

[crisp coral]

christ i fucking hate this sound manager thread thing

[night pagoda]

I'm going insane - can't find the cause why balatro just can't find the card:juice_up function now

it is literally right here (screenshot from the dumps)

[crisp coral]

i have manage to crash stacktraceplus

jesus christ

[languid mirage]

maybe because the object is not a card

[night pagoda]

yeah it could be, but I have nothing that calls or modifies this

[languid mirage]

well you can add a debug function that can dump you what's in the card

I mean

shouldn't that already be displayed in stacktrace

I dont know

[night pagoda]

yeah, will tinker around

thanks for the ideas tho

[languid mirage]

you can go up in stack trace and probably see where this card_eval_status_text call is from

might also be helpful

[night pagoda]

found the issue! all good

[crisp coral]

i'm trying to make a new sound manager that runs parallel with the ingame/cryptid sound manager but i have no idea how to debug it

it... probably works? because when i load the sounds as smods objects then both the normal music and my music play at once

this sucks so much

i wonder if a sound manager rewrite is plausible... it's impossible to get a list of sounds via smods tho

im going insane

[frosty dock]

huh

[crisp coral]

hey aure can you rewrite the sound manager 🥰

[frosty dock]

uh what do you need out of it exactly?

[crisp coral]

playing background music, because Cryptid completely overrides it

[crisp coral]

i think i'm dumb

i could've sworn it broke tf

[crisp coral]

this is offcentered and 😭

[frosty dock]

ugh

[rough furnace]

I patched the hotkey in

[rough furnace]

What did you do?

[crisp coral]

load an invalid file with nfs

[rough furnace]

I mean the crawh handler doesn't seem to have crashed

Or does it crasg right after that?

[crisp coral]

eh it doesn't matter anymore

[languid mirage]

might as well do that for packs then? 🤔

[mellow sable]

You could theoretically allow what Cryptid does with music sync to be possible while also supporting unsynced music like Jimball

[crisp coral]

not gonna bother with that anymore

opinions?

[frosty dock]

what's the overridden sound manager actually needed for?

I use it for synced, easing music like with the Program Packs

[rough furnace]

You can also spawn packs and vouchers in (in the shop only)

[mellow sable]

SMODS Music library always starts from the beginning of the track and doesn’t fade in

[frosty dock]

hm i should be able to add that

[mellow sable]

Would be good to allow for both

[rough furnace]

Well any kind of crash handler crash should be fixed cause then there's no crash handler at all

[mellow sable]

Yeah then I can remove all the sound_manager.lua jankiness

[frosty dock]

can you point me to the relevant code for syncing in cryptid?

[mellow sable]

literally just sound_manager.lua

Which is the vanilla sound manager but slightly modified to load from Cryptid’s files

It also automatically pitches down which theoretically you shouldn’t need to do except for the vanilla music

[crisp coral]

oh yeah the default smods music stuff doesn't pitch down the music when game over'd

[mellow sable]

this, too

[wintry solar]

I'd add a bit of a spacer between the check boxes and the button personally

[crisp coral]

that one is especially annoying because my stuff are bosses

[frosty dock]

alright I think the current sound API just bypasses too much of the sound manager, I need to integrate it better

[crisp coral]

🥀

[crisp coral]

here's a lot of spacers

[wintry solar]

that is a lot of spacers

how does this disabled text look?

[rough furnace]

Maybe make it red so its very glanceable?

[wintry solar]

oh good shout

[zealous glen]

What’s disabled?

Also I don’t particularly like the floating, dark “disabled” text

[wintry solar]

the entire object

[zealous glen]

The Green Balloons?

Or, more accurately, the Bunch of Green Balloons?

[wintry solar]

I think this is better

so they won't spawn

in theory

[zealous glen]

I prefer the text being visible. I’d do the disabling with a shader and sprite (like Undiscovered, Debuffed, etc.) and maybe a badge

As an user, I’d like to know what the items do before enabling them

If I enable then change my mind I’d have to go back to the config

[wintry solar]

hmmm yeah

I'll find a way to display the text still

[crisp coral]

oh in theory now that we have configs i can move my abnormality unlocks to that

saving configs on demand is SMODS:save_mod_config(SMODS.current_mod) right

[wintry solar]

SMODS.save_mod_config(mod_reference)

current_mod will be nil

[crisp coral]

what is mod_reference

SMODS.Mods.LobotomyCorp?

[restive osprey]

is there a tutorial on balatro modding? I'm a beginner coder that loves making joker ideas so to see them in the game would be wonderful

also it will help me in my comp sci career

[crisp coral]

#1264841732730916974 can give you a headstart

[wintry solar]

wherever you've saved SMODS.current_mod locally

[restive osprey]

thank you
I will begin beginner coding hell some day

[crisp coral]

#⚙・modding-general message
some base game jokers redone in steamodded

and of course, extract the game executable for the source code and look at other people's codes

[crisp coral]

am i doing something wrong uhh

oh hm. is it actually SMODS.save_mod_config instead of SMODS:save_mod_config

[wintry solar]

yeah it's a dot

[crisp coral]

it isss

fuck

[wintry solar]

also where do you save SMODS.current_mod originally

[wintry solar]

this better?

[crisp coral]

screw you SMODS.save_all_config

MalkWheezing

[shell tangle]

Still a bit WIP, but, I also have this mod which has vanilla jokers made in SMODS, and is commented to hopefully explain most things to beginners.

[restive osprey]

ok thank you
I will credit you if i ever make the mod

[shell tangle]

Absolutely no need, it's meant to go into the Steamodded example mods eventually.

[wintry solar]

oh seals have so much missing functionality D:

[restive osprey]

it's in VERY early development since I came up with the idea today and we're making ideas for jokers

i have 2 mod ideas which i could mash into one
one is a mod where it makes a bunch of jokers based on the blinds in the game (including 5 new legendaries from a new the soul like spectral card that are based on the final boss blinds)
and another is a mod that adds an upgrade spectral card, which makes upgraded versions of all the jokers (best idea but most work)

that along with a bunch of other unique jokers
I'm thinking i name upgraded chicot "cheat code" for the funny

[mellow sable]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1239704177584771080
The first one has been done before, save for the final boss blinds

Second one sounds cool too

[restive osprey]

combination it is then

some funny ideas I've come up with
the legendary boss joker for cerulean bell is called ring for service, and it activates diamond cards again and makes a bell noise when it does. Its upgraded version is a meme soundboard that plays random meme sound effects on every repeat it does on a diamond card
the hack actually has 2 upgrades, hack'd the system, where he got famous off plagiarism and didn't get caught, and laughing stock, where the card art is just the hack reading a callout post about him on his computer

[zealous glen]

I guess, but I still don't like it. I don't have the time to think of something to suggest right now.

@wintry solar I'm trying out VSCode for Lua. How can I make the globals defined by the game, and thus not my mod, not show up as errors to the Lua extension? (Besides manually marking each of them)

[wintry solar]

I believe if you add the folder of the game code to your workspace it'll automatically find them

[zealous glen]

Can I do it without adding the folder to my mod's folder?

[wintry solar]

yes

File>Add Folder to Workspace

[zealous glen]

It's still throwing some errors

Including the game itself

[wintry solar]

what sort of things are being called as errors?

[wintry solar]

huh

[crisp coral]

add the balatro source or lovely dump into the workspace

[wintry solar]

did you add ALL of the source?

[night pagoda]

I have both added yet it still does that

I just ignore it

[crisp coral]

it doesnt do that for me so shrug

[zealous glen]

I had already done so

[wintry solar]

tried a restart?

[crisp coral]

for love you might need the love2d support extension

[zealous glen]

The Lua extension said it supported love but I can try

what is it

[wintry solar]

I don't have a love extension

[crisp coral]

oh idk then

i guess you only need love2d installed?

[wintry solar]

any ideas on how to disable used consumables moving to the middle of the screen?

[restive osprey]

problems with this
I'm not skilled enough in coding, but i want coding experience
I'm not skilled enough in art for making over 150 new joker designs, but i like making art so that's ok if i can at the very least find a mentor to clean up my art
BIG PROBLEM: I have next to no dedication to a single thing for more than a week at most, especially if it bores me

Solution
I become the ideas maker (along with my friend in the server), overall manager, and a helper in all the different things we need, and hope a people like my ideas enough to work with my incompetent ass
or i just learn a bunch of time saving loopholes for all this stuff

[fallen tendon]

i do know keep on use keeps them in their area

but its probably now what you are looking for

[restive osprey]

that being said, I want to post the google doc with the ideas somewhere. where do i do it?

oh wait modding forum

I'm a dumbass

[wintry solar]

I figured it out 🎉

[zealous glen]

what the doin'

[crisp coral]

lmao?

[zealous glen]

I wonder if the reason AnimatedSprite doesn't work for Cards by default is because of thunk's spagetthi code

[wintry solar]

It wouldn’t surprise me

[zealous glen]

@mellow sable do you have any comments, since you reimplemented animation for Jimball and Aura?

[frosty dock]

that is just treating SMODS as the mod object

[mellow sable]

tbh I just didn’t try using it

And because doing it manually works I’ve kinda rolled with it (literally)

[zealous glen]

I know it has issues I just haven’t tried to know what the issues are

[mellow sable]

For Aura it wouldn’t make sense because it needs a lot of customizability. And then Jimball is Jimball

[languid mirage]

eh I think it doesnt work for cards by default because he didnt need to use it for cards

[zealous glen]

Obviously that’s the philosophical reason, but what’s the physical reason

[crisp coral]

thunk spaghetti

[zealous glen]

Yes but what’s the spaghetti

[crisp coral]

all of it

[languid mirage]

everyone writes shit code so

[zealous glen]

But what’s the shape of the spaghetti

[zealous glen]

Write code like your future self lives in your walls and has a machete

[languid mirage]

at least death will be quick
