[rough furnace]

hell yeah

[crisp coral]

this is a fucking mess

IT WORKS

AJHETKAHBAWBTAW

THIS IS SO FUCKING STUPID

[edgy reef]

YEEEEEEES

[wild gyro]

this was a good idea

[crisp coral]

wait what if i remove isaac.states.drag.can = false

aw you can't drag him

no way the balatro cursor is trans

[wild gyro]

real

[crisp coral]

okay so i can hold him and he will be bigger

but he can't be moved

hm

perfect

[unkempt thicket]

how would one go about adding a new object type like editions, enhancements, and seals? (that's not a consumable)

[crisp coral]

SMODS.Edition, SMODS.Enhancement, SMODS.Seal

all three of them are present in Cryptid if you want to steal from it

[wild gyro]

isnt it about a new type of those though

[crisp coral]

o

extend SMODS.Center

[unkempt thicket]

i'll try that

[crisp coral]

wait let me pull specialist music

[hallow forge]

Look at contracts mod code

[crisp coral]

(loudish)

specialist plays when you drag isaac now

[rough furnace]

next I just need to add cursor placement and then it's a real command line

[mellow sable]

testing for mod compat be like

[limpid flint]

What is that?

[restive osprey]

Wrong channel whoops

[sand rune]

If the UI is rendering every frame that solves one problem. Next one, for the joker area do you know by chance what is used to display max joker, i thought it was G.jokers.config.card_limit but modifying that doesn’t seem to change the max value

[mellow sable]

Security checks in Ankh (WIP)

Basically if you have mods installed you can use it to see if they were tampered with for a replay

[wintry solar]

I think we might want to change how stickers are drawn on a card, there’s a very limited number of positions and I think having them be positioned according to the code might be better

[fringe hamlet]

there's no need to display all the information on the left side, the blank space on the right side of the Joker should be utilized

It's not difficult to add new content with SMODS.Sticker now. Considering there may be an increasing number of stickers in the future, it might be a good idea to have a centralized information button floating on the edge of the card

[wintry solar]

I mean the actual images

Tooltips are fine, we can just make them display in a grid instead of a column eventually

[fringe hamlet]

OK

[frosty dock]

I agree this would be good, but it would require a change in sprite size for stickers

the current sticker sprites are card-sized

[wintry solar]

Yeah make them more like tag sized would be best I think. I was imagining the column down the left of the card with 4 slots and then when you have more than four they continue to be placed at the bottom but adjust to still fit on the card but overlapping

[frosty dock]

there could eventually be more then one column if we don't want them to become as indistinguishable

[wintry solar]

Yeah that sounds good

[frosty dock]

Also tag sized is probably too large, 3 tags don't fit a card's height without overlap

[wintry solar]

Whatever size standard stickers are then

[fringe hamlet]

How to solve the problem of having too many badges?

[wintry solar]

It’ll be 22x22 ish?

[wintry solar]

I think possibly a column solution after a certain number could be useful here too, along with a scaling down of them if in column mode

[frosty dock]

I tried a solution with scrolling before, but I wasn't able to get it to be dynamic

columns should be better

[narrow pollen]

...this is hilarious

[zealous glen]

What have I done… it’s beautiful

@errant sand look

[zealous glen]

Personally I like the idea of oversized, overlapping stickers with random positions

[zealous glen]

Yes, yes I am… ;u;

[errant sand]

Lmfao

Dancing issac best issac

[zealous glen]

Not even issaac? 😭

[errant sand]

There's 2 as?!?

[crisp coral]

it's isaac...

[zealous glen]

Isaac and his Issac lived alone in a small Issaac on a Isac

[errant sand]

Damn, I'm too dyslexic

[night pagoda]

wtf is happening, I have shuffling code whenever I try to inject???????

[frosty dock]

huh

that should not be happening

[night pagoda]

yeah I'm going insane!

something fishy is happening

[crisp coral]

what the fuck

where did that come from wuh

[night pagoda]

that "end" gets teleported from the other place for some reason

lovely possessed by amber acorn

??????????????????? (made the injection into one line without spaces)

[frosty dock]

something something before patches

[night pagoda]

yeah but removing only this patch completely unshuffles it

[night pagoda]

as in image №3 here

[wild gyro]

fast

[wintry solar]

I wonder if the smods patch is conflicting with it and causing some shenanigans

[sand rune]

is there a nice way to hook into Game:start_run

[zealous glen]

Everyone say "Thanks Myst"

[zealous glen]

what do you want to do

[sand rune]

grab then deck to detemine and setup some flags I use with the deck 🙂

Unless there may be a better way you reckon?

[zealous glen]

Idk about the deck but I set my mod's global variables in

init_game_object

[sand rune]

ooh hang on didnt know that existed

and how did you override that? when i try

local init_game_object_ref = Game:init_game_object

it complains or do I override differently (new to Lua sadly)

[hallow forge]

do Game.init_game_object

[hallow forge]

then pass self as the first argument

[sand rune]

.... oh maaaah gawd

ima go dig a hole and die of embaressment ty

[zealous glen]

Sometimes I try to hook and I fail because I do local obj_ref = Class:obj instead

or whatever

[sand rune]

right so we can use the Class.method but when we use the Class:method override it needs self to be passed into the ref before original args

[zealous glen]

I want to make this a shader but for now this will do. I talked about ideas with @wintry solar but I haven't done anything shader-related yet

[zealous glen]

I think Class:method calls the method with Class as the first argument, while Class.method is the reference to the method

[sand rune]

makes sense, this is why they recommend looking into the language before modding huh xD

[zealous glen]

I didn't look into it

[sand rune]

😮

[zealous glen]

I just looked directly at other mods lol

[sand rune]

ah see thats where I went wrong.. apparently I like pain and hitting myself with bricks >_>

[hallow forge]

it's still a good idea to know lua first

[sand rune]

also

for the joker cap; that would b G.jokers.config.card_limit right?

[odd sinew]

how do i make mods for the game?

[frosty dock]

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

Mind Useful resources at the bottom of the page, too

[wooden nexus]

If you wanna help out...

ORTALAB JOKER POLL - ROUND 1
#1217704157574860810

[shell tangle]

WIP example jokers, as well. Mostly done, but there are still a few more complex explanations missing.

[zealous glen]

Idk but you can look up what Negative Jokers do

[sand rune]

yeah it was this, was confused because it didnt update when i changed so relaunched the game and it worked and was mega confusioned

[wintry solar]

what function did you throw it in?

[sand rune]

it was in ease_dollars so i made a func to recalc and assign accordingly

[odd sinew]

What mod loader is used?

[mellow sable]

steamodded

[sand rune]

that or you can do it the dirty way and extract the game files and do the jiggery pokery >_>

[wintry solar]

no don't do that

[sand rune]

i never said it was a good idea.. just that it is in an idea.. totally not what I did for v.0.1 of my mod

[brisk pond]

Still struggling with the first part

how do you give the player the ability to choose something?

[limpid flint]

Round start, Display all legendary jokers in the center of screen and prompt player to choose one?

[mellow sable]

the way cryptid implemented something like this was having you type it in

but that also made more sense with the theme of the consumable, showing the legendaries in a collection view and clicking would be better probably

[brisk pond]

ok maybe this will work:

1. Start of blind
2. Trickster starts juicing up
3. Pop Up appears where all legendary jokers are shown
4. When you click on one, the Pop Up disappears
5. Trickster takes that form and stops juicing up

[tepid crow]

I have an idea about some type of effect that prevents face cards from showing up

is there a good way to check whether a card is an actual face card?
card.base.value == 'Jack' or card.base.value == 'Queen' or card.base.value == 'King' isn't very mod-compatible
and card:is_face will always get ruined by Pareidolia and other mod "all facecards" jokers

[brisk pond]

card.rank > 10 and card.rank < 14?

[tepid crow]

that's... not bad actually

we're still assuming all mods put their face card ranks in that range

[brisk pond]

ok then card.rank > 10 and not card.rank == 14

so aces are ignored and every card higher than 10 is good

then it depends on what you want to do with the cards

[hallow forge]

just check how is_face does it while paredolia isn't owned

[brisk pond]

if id == 11 or id == 12 or id == 13 or next(find_joker("Pareidolia")) then
return true
end

[tepid crow]

similar issue as before no?
we're still assuming all mods put their non-face cards outside the 10-14 range

[brisk pond]

if you are trying to think of all the possible mods, then you won't make yours

[tepid crow]

hah ain't that the truth

[brisk pond]

just do it the most natural way and you're good

[tepid crow]

that really doesn't consider any other mods implementing custom is_face 🙃

[brisk pond]

this without the Pareidolia

[tepid crow]

probably best yeah

something something "best effort" guarantees

[tepid crow]

thanks :)

[brisk pond]

am I doing it right?

the idea is this

[tepid crow]

I feel like you probably want some config.aligns?

idk I'm def no balatro UI expert

[crisp coral]

just use an object node and add a cardarea?

i don't see why you need five object nodes

[brisk pond]

because I need 5 buttons and with this solution all the buttons are aligned with the cards

[hallow forge]

You could just have a card area where you can select any one of the shown cards

[brisk pond]

i don't think you can put a cardarea inside a button

[tepid crow]

you could have a cardarea with a max select of 1, and a submit button below it?

and the submit button just finds the selected card

[brisk pond]

Everything has a colour!

[edgy reef]

Incorrect depth most likely.

[hallow forge]

what about the concept of time.

[edgy reef]

UIBox_button is inside a table when it shouldn’t be probably.

[crisp coral]

i don't use UIBox_button actually lol

[brisk pond]

i looked at other people and they did this

I never used it before

[crisp coral]

i absolutely dont lol

relevant code

[brisk pond]

so you put button in the config of a node?

[brisk pond]

where did you take this

[brisk pond]

"Columns are for nodes arranged vertically"

[crisp coral]

lobcorp's discover all button

[glass scaffold]

Is there any documentation on how to make a joker from scratch?

[brisk pond]

a lot actually

[glass scaffold]

Oh cool

where?

[brisk pond]

check this #💻・modding-dev message

or just check Steamodded's Wiki

[glass scaffold]

btw can standalone .lua files be in the mods folder or do they all need to be in 1 folder?

[brisk pond]

if the mod is only one .lua file it can be in the 'Mods' folder

[glass scaffold]

Ah got it

[brisk pond]

ok scrap this sheet

gonna be Hover + left/right arrows

[frosty dock]

they can be but it's not recommended for steamodded 1.0

you won't be able to disable any such mods individually

[lament fjord]

What was the alternative you tried there?

[frosty dock]

I got the file data with NFS.read and tried to pass it directly to newSource

[wintry solar]

Honestly I think you’ve already been given the easiest solution, a card area of size 5 with a selection limit of 1, and a single button to confirm

[bleak rain]

How does the new localization work for Vouchers?

[zealous glen]

Mods that implement more legendaries:

[zealous glen]

is_face IIRC

[zealous glen]

That’s an error with their mod

[zealous glen]

As I said before, what about mods that add more Legendaries?

[brisk pond]

i've been really struggling with G.UIT.C

it doesn't in any way create a column

[wintry solar]

I don’t know if cerlo is planning on supporting that or not

[wintry solar]

You’re using it wrong then, can I see what the problem is?

[brisk pond]

the way I coded the calculate of the Trickster, it is impossible to add modded legendaries

also, I would need to add a sprite for every modded legendary...?

[brisk pond]

please yes

[tepid crow]

Would break even during the base game once pareidolia shows up, which is why others were suggesting to do the id check

[crisp coral]

it'd be better to use a row node there

not a column node

[zealous glen]

What do you mean

IIRC there is a vanilla function to check if a card is a face card, which is how Pareidolia does it

[zealous glen]

That’s why I’m saying doing it the way MathIsFun suggested is better

Search box only needs to account for one card at a time

[crisp coral]

card.base.face_nominal?

[tepid crow]

I think aces also populate that space for some unknown reason

[crisp coral]

oh

SMODS.Ranks[card.base.value].face

[zealous glen]

Wrong

[tepid crow]

Oh that one might be interesting? I havent looked at smods support for ranks yet

[brisk pond]

i don't plan on adding support for modded legendaries

[zealous glen]

This is how the vanilla game does it

is_face, as I said

[crisp coral]

they already specified base

this one also checks for parei

and the actual is_face function is modified by smods

function Card:is_face(from_boss)
    if self.debuff and not from_boss then return end
    local id = self:get_id()
    local rank = SMODS.Ranks[self.base.value]
    if not id then return end
    if (id > 0 and rank.face) or next(find_joker("Pareidolia")) then
        return true
    end
end

[tepid crow]

That's just gonna break the second the player buys pareidolia

I'd like to replace a face card with another random card

[zealous glen]

Ah I see

[tepid crow]

I mean, I could also nuke all face cards, and it probably would be funny

But I'm not sure that's very fun to play with lol

[brisk pond]

it crashes while starting the game

[tepid crow]

You're missing a =

Inner node's config.colour

[brisk pond]

thanks

the good part is that it doesn't crash

[wintry solar]

Put the object in its own row node

[brisk pond]

still having problems with the cardarea

maybe the one I copied wrote has only space for 1 joker

[wintry solar]

Can I see the card area definition?

Oh it’s in that file earlier

[brisk pond]

local function createCardArea()
    G.Trick_CardArea = CardArea(G.ROOM.T.x + G.ROOM.T.w / 2, G.ROOM.T.h, 5.09 * G.CARD_W, 1.03 * G.CARD_H, {card_limit = 5, type = 'title', highlight_limit = 1})
    local center = G.P_CENTERS['j_caino']
    local card = Card(G.Trick_CardArea.T.x + G.Trick_CardArea.T.w / 2, G.Trick_CardArea.T.y, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, nil, center)
    G.Trick_CardArea:emplace(card)
    center = G.P_CENTERS['j_triboulet']
    card = Card(G.Trick_CardArea.T.x + G.Trick_CardArea.T.w / 2, G.Trick_CardArea.T.y, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, nil, center)
    G.Trick_CardArea:emplace(card)
    center = G.P_CENTERS['j_yorick']
    card = Card(G.Trick_CardArea.T.x + G.Trick_CardArea.T.w / 2, G.Trick_CardArea.T.y, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, nil, center)
    G.Trick_CardArea:emplace(card)
    center = G.P_CENTERS['j_chicot']
    card = Card(G.Trick_CardArea.T.x + G.Trick_CardArea.T.w / 2, G.Trick_CardArea.T.y, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, nil, center)
    G.Trick_CardArea:emplace(card)
    center = G.P_CENTERS['j_perkeo']
    card = Card(G.Trick_CardArea.T.x + G.Trick_CardArea.T.w / 2, G.Trick_CardArea.T.y, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, nil, center)
    G.Trick_CardArea:emplace(card)
end

[wintry solar]

Change the 1.03*G.G_CARD_W to 5.09

[brisk pond]

changed it to 12 and it is good

but I can't highlight the cards

[wintry solar]

No don’t fix it

Just change the number in the multiplication

So it respects the card size

[brisk pond]

ohh ok

[brisk pond]

the problem still remains

[hallow forge]

is the highlight_limit 1

[brisk pond]

yeah

[hallow forge]

why's the type title?

[surreal marsh]

add something like this maybe

[brisk pond]

i copied the cardarea from JokerDisplay

[hallow forge]

is that cardarea highlightable?

[brisk pond]

i don't think

which one is?

[wintry solar]

you can set the type to joker

[brisk pond]

the game one features the buttons "sell" and "use"?

[wintry solar]

or maybe hand

[brisk pond]

which cardarea is the collection?

[crisp coral]

JokerDisplay didn't need highlighting

[wintry solar]

collection card areas are created on demand

[brisk pond]

type = 'joker'

[crisp coral]

why is it in mod config anyway

that's incredibly annoying when switching jokers

[hallow forge]

probs for testing

[brisk pond]

i fucking hate ui

[crisp coral]

mood

[hallow forge]

Objectively correct opinion

[wintry solar]

wrong

ui is life

❤️

[brisk pond]

you are more than welcome to solve my issue

[regal wolf]

the ui engine isnt actually that bad once you figure it out

but it has a steep learning curve, bc its a custom engine

but once you get it, you get it

[brisk pond]

that's the problem

you have to figure it out

[wintry solar]

well what's your current problem?

[brisk pond]

this one

[crisp coral]

yeah i believe i've gotten a grasp of it now

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/the-matrix-reloaded-matrix-reloaded-neo-keanu-reeves-gif-4011236

Myst:

[surreal marsh]

check G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons function

[zealous glen]

By the way did you see temporary cards

[wintry solar]

what type is it set as?

[crisp coral]

no

[brisk pond]

joker

[wintry solar]

err

try it during a game

highlighting jokers requires G.jokers to exist

[zealous glen]

@crisp coral

[zealous glen]

As I said I want to make it a custom shader but for now

[zealous glen]

Doesn’t each CardArea have their own highlight area?

[crisp coral]

the fuck did i do lmao

[wintry solar]

or at least highlighting a joker in a joker type cardarea does

[zealous glen]

I used Laetitia Gift for reference

[crisp coral]

oh ok

[zealous glen]

Speaking @wintry solar 👀

[wintry solar]

I've graduated from shader school

I am a ui scholar now

[brisk pond]

ok it works but you can sell the legendaries

[zealous glen]

Teach me your ways, shader bachelor

[zealous glen]

Do whatever the shop does

[brisk pond]

glory to the best legendary joker

[surreal marsh]

inject into it and return nil if card.area is your area 🤔

[hallow forge]

have you considered simply adding an exception to the code that adds the buttons

[brisk pond]

i'm not using my brain anymore

it broke with the last G.UIT.C i wrote

[regal wolf]

whats the problem

[brisk pond]

you shouldn't be able to sell the jokers

[crisp coral]

then don't have the area config type be jokers?

[wintry solar]

local card_highlight_ref = Card.highlight
function Card:highlight(is_highlighted)
    if self.area and self.area.config.type == "cerlo" then
        self.highlighted = is_highlighted
    else
        card_highlight_ref(self, is_highlighted)
    end
end
local can_highlight_ref = CardArea.can_highlight
function CardArea:can_highlight(card)
    if self.config.type == 'cerlo' then
        return true
    end
    return can_highlight_ref(self, card)
end

change your cardarea type to cerlo

I think this works

[brisk pond]

wooooo i got my own cardarea

[wintry solar]

it might not do

but I think it should

Myst, does the mod index git pages tend to link to releases or main branch?

[crisp coral]

main branch, or file in source code if it's something like betmma's

[wintry solar]

hmmm

replace the cerlo's with title

I don't know why it won't draw the cards

oh wait

yes I do

[brisk pond]

if I do type = 'joker', anotherValue = 'dontSell' and change this function to self.area.config.anotherValue

[wintry solar]

local card_area_draw_ref = CardArea.draw
function CardArea:draw()
    card_area_draw_ref(self)
    if self.config.type == "cerlo" then
        for k, v in ipairs(self.ARGS.draw_layers) do
            for i = 1, #self.cards do 
                if self.cards[i] ~= G.CONTROLLER.focused.target then
                    if not self.cards[i].highlighted then
                        if G.CONTROLLER.dragging.target ~= self.cards[i] then self.cards[i]:draw(v) end
                    end
                end
            end
            for i = 1, #self.cards do  
                if self.cards[i] ~= G.CONTROLLER.focused.target then
                    if self.cards[i].highlighted then
                        if G.CONTROLLER.dragging.target ~= self.cards[i] then self.cards[i]:draw(v) end
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
end```

this should draw the cards

[brisk pond]

Perkeo sitting there

chilling

[regal wolf]

just create some columns

[wintry solar]

🤷‍♂️

[regal wolf]

G.UIT.C

use the same code that thunk uses to place the card on the main menu

and place them inside the columns with some padding

you can adjust the size, the scale, etc.

[wintry solar]

that's not the problem

[regal wolf]

whats the problem?

perkeo seems to be in the wrong place no?

[brisk pond]

maybe go back to this idea?

[regal wolf]

what is the problem you have

[brisk pond]

@wintry solar I put 'title' and erased the CardArea:draw and it works

[wintry solar]

yeah I thought it might

there'll be some other parts of card area that populates things for draw that are being skipped by using a custom type

[brisk pond]

but now it might create errors with other CardArea title?

[lament fjord]

Just to make sure, buffering was set?

[wintry solar]

yeah

I think you'll be able to highlight in the collection now iirc

[lament fjord]

And did you try passing in a decoder over the file data and using that for the source?

[zealous glen]

Anyways @crisp coral you didn’t answer me ;P #1257366048382914580 message

[crisp coral]

I AM IN A MIDDLE OF SOMETHING ELSE

you don't need all the qol on one specific card, the deck view qol is there because it's used for the whole game

[zealous glen]

It’s the other way around

The card shouldn’t work in a specific way because the QOL isn’t there

You don’t add QOL for a specific card

You change how the specific effect works

Thunk has expressed a similar opinion

Also Marvel Snap operates on similar principles

[crisp coral]

also the entire time until you specified i thought the you were talking about the card itself, not when the blind from the card is active

whatever

[zealous glen]

As I said I didn’t foresee people having that interpretation

[hallow forge]

how is this argument productive?

[zealous glen]

Since most of the time you’d use it immediately, and you wouldn’t use it during another Blind or anything

[hallow forge]

the misunderstanding was already figured out

[zealous glen]

I was just curious about her opinion since she replied to my comment about hard platformers

Since it’s an expression of more general design principles

[brisk pond]

Now the problem is passing the value to The Trickster

G.FUNCS.Trick_Select = function()
    if G.Trick_CardArea.highlighted[1] then
        local selected = G.Trick_CardArea.highlighted[1].config.center.original_key
    end
end

[zealous glen]

The game giving the player the time to plan their decisions isn’t an argument for obscuring information

Well, not obscuring

[brisk pond]

and also, creating the UI every context.setting_blind

[zealous glen]

Just maintaining it hidden inside a couple of menus

[brisk pond]

and making it go away after i select

[zealous glen]

Define G.GAME.YourMod and save the value inside

[brisk pond]

ok

[brisk pond]

now this?

[frosty dock]

I don't know how to do that and was too lazy to look it up

[lament fjord]

Do you happen to have the code from your experiment? I want to try

[brisk pond]

is there a wait_until() function?

[crisp coral]

there's juice_card_until

[zealous glen]

A trick I’ve made is to create an event that either executes a function or creates a copy of itself

[brisk pond]

it prints nil

[crisp coral]

yea that's basically what juice_card_until does

[zealous glen]

I see

[brisk pond]

and it prints right after creating the UIBox

i'm testing a solution

my solution was a failure

i'm invoking your help

[wintry solar]

I have been summoned

[brisk pond]

it prints 'nil' without waiting for the Popup to go away

[wintry solar]

did you try what victin suggested with the events?

[brisk pond]

yeah and it blocks the game

it freezes

[zealous glen]

They didn’t return true

[brisk pond]

can you show me?

[wintry solar]

can it return G.GAME.Trickster?

that should be true once it's set

[zealous glen]

No

Just always return true

Unless it’s an ease event

[wintry solar]

I mean if they want to stop other things happening until a choice has been made

[zealous glen]

Otherwise the EventManager doesn’t know the event is finished

And it freezes the game

[zealous glen]

There are other ways to achieve that AFAIK

[wintry solar]

I thought if it didn't return true it just did the event again

[zealous glen]

Idk. I only see people who make it return nil by not including a return

So it freezes

[brisk pond]

I tried this too and it just freezes

without creating the UI

[wintry solar]

does it create it outside of the event?

[brisk pond]

yes

wait here

I send you the mod

[wintry solar]

try doing that and return G.GAME.Trickster as the only thing in the event

[wintry solar]

will take a look

[brisk pond]

Trickster.lua, line 105 to 113

[lament fjord]

The idea is this:

• Use NFS to open a file, set its buffer to be chonky, and load to string
• Convert this string into Love2D file data
• Pass this file data in when creating a sound decoder
• Pass the decoder when creating the audio source

[wintry solar]

it should be like this?

[brisk pond]

YEAH

check if you have multiple Tricksters

[zealous glen]

The menu is a bit invasive but cool

[wintry solar]

multiple doesn't workl

[brisk pond]

that's because it doesn't stop the game

[wintry solar]

I should be able to make it stop the game

[brisk pond]

thank you eremel we love you

❤

[zealous glen]

There is stop_use

And whatever the pause menu does

[brisk pond]

the file is here

I'm taking a 5 minute break to restore some braincells

[fallen tendon]

Actually a good tool is to use create_uibox_generic_options

Thats what i used for variable and it keeps the game running but you cant interact with it

If you want the game to stop you can turn it into an overlay

[wintry solar]

just cleaning some stuff up and getting multiple to work

do you want them to have independent selections?

[brisk pond]

yeah

[crisp coral]

swag

[wintry solar]

so am I right in thinking this is effectively all 5 legendaries in one in terms of effects and you just choose which to apply per blind with this voucher?

[brisk pond]

yep

[wintry solar]

just going to try one more thing

[brisk pond]

you have total freedom

[wintry solar]

what do you think?

[brisk pond]

it's beautiful

[wintry solar]

it should track the tooltips correctly this way

[maiden phoenix]

If you keep the same legendary, does the stats gained stays inbetween transformations?

Or like if you pick x, change to y and change back to x

[wintry solar]

it gains stats for all forms at all times

[maiden phoenix]

Oh wow so if I grind Yorick for example and switch to another legendary with XMult it keeps it?

[wintry solar]

yeah, and then when you switch back it will be as if you had never switched

[maiden phoenix]

Neat

[brisk pond]

can you send the code back?

[wintry solar]

yeah just adding a couple of notifications

`

hmmm

not sure on the ! for discards

it's nice to know it's having an effect though

[brisk pond]

i think it is better without notifications

because you have no way of knowing which legendary it applies

please leave it as it is @wintry solar

[remote coral]

Oh hell yeah

[wintry solar]

there you go

the messages are still in, see how you find them but they're easily removed

I think they'd be useful

it's not intuitive that the counters continue progressing when that joker isn't chosen

I did speed up the discard one

[hallow forge]

I was trying to make some planet cards but when i hovered over them, i received this error. anyone recognize it or know how to fix it?
functions/misc_functions.lua:1918: attempt to index field 'colours' (a nil value)

[zealous glen]

Try seeing what is calling .colours

It might be an UI error since I had something similar, but I think it was colour

[hallow forge]

colour = part.control.V and args.vars.colours[tonumber(part.control.V)] or loc_colour(part.control.C or nil, args.default_col),

the line in question

[wintry solar]

what function is it in?

[zealous glen]

Yeah it’s a UI issue

[hallow forge]

localize

[zealous glen]

What’s your localization

For this card

[hallow forge]

like the loc_txt?

[wintry solar]

yeah

[zealous glen]

yes

I just use a single localization file now

[hallow forge]

SMODS.Planet {
    key = 'tetra',
    name = "Tetra",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Tetra",
        text = {
            "{S:0.8}({S:0.8,V:1}lvl.#1#{S:0.8}){} Level up",
            "{C:attention}#2#",
            "{C:mult}+#3#{} Mult and",
            "{C:chips}+#4#{} chips"
        }
    },
    config = {hand_type = 'h_bj_natural'},
    atlas = "planets",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local hand = self.config.hand_type
        return { vars = {G.GAME.hands[hand].level,localize(hand, 'poker_hands'), G.GAME.hands[hand].l_mult, G.GAME.hands[hand].l_chips} }
    end,
}

[wintry solar]

define colours in your loc_vars

[hallow forge]

k

[zealous glen]

I’m curious what it’s used for

I haven’t made a Planet

[wintry solar]

colours is what V: looks at

I assume default planets have a colours argument too

[zealous glen]

Oh

Why use V then

[wintry solar]

colours = {(G.GAME.hands[_c.config.hand_type].level==1 and G.C.UI.TEXT_DARK or G.C.HAND_LEVELS[math.min(7, G.GAME.hands[_c.config.hand_type].level)])}

because it changes based on level right?

[hallow forge]

yah that worked, ty

[zealous glen]

I thought that was added automatically

Because I changed the level colors

But I didn’t have to touch any individual Planets

[wintry solar]

planets already have this option sent to them

[zealous glen]

Here

[zealous glen]

Yeah and this is a Planet

[wintry solar]

a custom planet

with its own loc_vars

[zealous glen]

Ah the levels aren’t added automatically

[wintry solar]

you can imagine V in loc_txt as a varying colour, which you define in your loc_vars as colour = {option1, option2}etc.

[zealous glen]

It’s in the localization

[wintry solar]

yes

[zealous glen]

whack

[languid mirage]

[lament fjord]

uhh... wait why is Steamodded loading the sounds on the main thread, and not delegating that to the sound manager thread

[brisk pond]

The baby is born #1265798766774976645 message

[crisp coral]

idk maybe because threads are fucked and smod sounds can't be loaded there normally

[wintry solar]

[lament fjord]

gah then

Tried merging in the sound changes, lag spike problem still remained. Tried hooking the sound playing and modulation functions to see if I could catch the channel being filled, I couldn't see any channel filling

[languid mirage]

Well, this was pretty annoying, but got some progress going

[crisp coral]

like the MODULATION function in misc_functions?

[lament fjord]

Yeah

[crisp coral]

that's only used if the thread doesn't exist though

[crisp coral]

why does everyone do checkboxes on the right

AngelaCry

[wintry solar]

The game defaults that way

[lament fjord]

I insert them right after the call to push to the sound manager channel

[languid mirage]

I see the appeal of the checkboxes on the left, but I'll have more than just checkboxes, and text fields wont look as good

[zealous glen]

Left to right reading sense

[regal wolf]

guys

please help with fixing vanilla game bug

bc i have spent the last few hrs trying to find the exact cause of it and I got nothin

[languid mirage]

hm what bug

[regal wolf]

bug that causes cards bought from shop to be burried under random amount of consumeables from the top when you have a large quantity of consumeables from perkeo

it only occurs when cards are bought, it does not occour when cards are generated from emp or pri

[lament fjord]

Hmm why is the waviness of cards not visual-only?

[regal wolf]

wdym

also @languid mirage if your working on a better deckviewer saturn already has features like that in development if u want to help with that

[languid mirage]

I mean, it's already released #1258438028800692224

I'm just working on better settings menu

[regal wolf]

ohhhh

mb

[languid mirage]

tbh I have no idea about this one

[mellow sable]

is .T.x always an integer?

[lament fjord]

Also switched back to the luajit that Balatro comes with, why the f does 2.0.5 chug a lot less than 2.1

[mellow sable]

maybe it has to do with the autosorting screwing up when there's a <1 pixel gap?

[tepid crow]

sounds like you ran into the same thing thunk did lol

[regal wolf]

maybe

the problem is with align_cards()

the card gets emplaced into the correct position, but then after align_Cards() it gets placed 5-8 positions back.

[lament fjord]

For serious play I'm going with 2.0, but I'm determined to get to the bottom of 2.1 performance regressions

[regal wolf]

float

the issue is that it NEVER happens when using emp or pri

its so weird

[tepid crow]

thank you so much for mentioning this I managed to remove about a hundred lines from my code lmfao

(mb for the reply ping D:)

[lament fjord]

Just had a thought about a workaround for the issue that might also look cool: Adjust consumable spacing so that consumables at the end are spaced out more than those at the beginning

Add functionality for the spacing to shift around the mouse location if its near the consumable slots, and youd get a sort of riffling effect

@regal wolf

[regal wolf]

I don't think that will solve the bug, but I'll give it a try

[lament fjord]

If it truly is a "move consumable to position" thing, then this should mitigate it at least

[languid mirage]

to be fair, Idk why not just use #1248924034716930100

it's not 100% vanilla

but it shouldn't be too hard to adjust it

like the only difference is that incantation allows non-negative consumables to stack and take up 1 slot

[zealous glen]

Yeah everyone was like “this could be a great QOL mod” but alas the author didn’t want to make it a QOL mod

[regal wolf]

yeah, maybe.

There are ways to work around the issue, for now at least I want to try and fix the bug.

[wintry solar]

sounds like a great cartomancer feature 😉

[languid mirage]

why would I steal someone else's core mod idea 😭

[zealous glen]

I think making it into a QOL is different enough

You might opt to reimplement rather than copying or referencing the code

But it is a good standalone QOL feature

[languid mirage]

pretty sure jen mentioned adding an option to toggle it being qol at some point

I think it's easier if I just PR that feature

[wintry solar]

any remember how to fix the problem where you drag cards around and tey don't go back to where they should be?

[sand rune]

Anybody got some repo's or advice how to spawn UI elements?

[languid mirage]

this is probably good enough for vanilla mode

only negative consumables can stack

[wintry solar]

it's, uhhhh

@tepid crow

[tepid crow]

HAHAHAHA

it certainly do be doing stuff

I actually had a very similar issue with my card sleeve

[frosty dock]

Lmao

[wintry solar]

pls help

[frosty dock]

it's not a bug, it's a feature

[night pagoda]

how about a deck with all cards from all of the decks?

[tepid crow]

yeah sorry, this was my fix for the element not snapping back (just stop the player from moving it) 🙃

    card.states.collide.can = false
    card.states.hover.can = false
    card.states.drag.can = false
    card.states.click.can = false

but let me know if you find an actual fix >:)

[wintry solar]

perfect

I don't know why the second page ones wont get put in the card area either

[languid mirage]

uhm why do I have random nil

apparently it appears if I open options -> settings

apparently nopeus causes it

[royal ether]

someone didnt remove a text field correctly

[rain imp]

I tried installing love for mod support, but it bluescreened me with this. What have I done wrong? I have Steamodded 1.0.0 installed and working

[tepid crow]

did you verify the game files through steam yet?

[rain imp]

None of the instructions told me to

Oh, wait, I got it

No

But deleting it still crashes the game, from Steamodded side this time

So something broke inside of it

Aight, the mod was the culprit of that one

But adding lovely back without the mods crashes still

Without lovely and mods it runs

[tepid crow]

Without lovely it is just the base game, right?

[rain imp]

Yea

Nvm

I verified files and it fixed itself

Steam has found a broken one

Weird that it ran without lovely anyway, but idk

[tepid crow]

Still works if you add the mods back too?

[rain imp]

I suppose, the mod that broke it required lovely

Yea, it's fine, thank you!

[tepid crow]

Nice 👍🏻

[unkempt thicket]

I think I'm doing something wrong

[zealous glen]

What am I supposed to be looking at here

[mellow sable]

boss rush

[zealous glen]

Cool

[limpid flint]

is it possible to add additional information in crash screen?

[zealous glen]

I’d like to see the full file name for once

[limpid flint]

Oh that too

Heard it can be fixed on author's end #1255696773599592458 message

[frosty dock]

yeah SMODS.load_file exists, it just needs to be used

[zealous glen]

how

[frosty dock]

SMODS.load_file(path)

it's relative to your mod dir

[zealous glen]

Does it work like NFS.load?

[frosty dock]

it uses NFS

if there's a file at <your_mod>/path/to/file.lua, all you do is SMODS.load_file('path/to/file.lua')

[zealous glen]

Does it also return error and the file as an executable function?

[languid mirage]

uh

[limpid flint]

Nice

Now no one will be playing the game

[shell timber]

+10x mult while the dvd logo is hitting the corner

[languid mirage]

I think it will be funny to do this if game was inactive for like 5-10 seconds

[limpid flint]

1 second

[languid mirage]

😭

also I now have to add CRT shader to it because I couldn't get a separate canvas to work

rn its either one or the other

[crisp coral]

make it play the dougdoug corner sound when it corners

[languid mirage]

😭

that might be hard (it's a shader)

https://www.shadertoy.com/view/wtcSzN

I guess it's not impossible, but probably not something I want to bother with

[brisk quartz]

another dougdoug watcher spotted

[tidal edge]

hey! i've been posting on modding-chat. but i might as well post here as it seems more centred on developing mods

im creating a hand, and i've been trying for about a day to get this down

i've done almost everything except implimenting the hand

im wondering if anyone could provide some help on what the coding behind this hand would be

screenshot for context

[languid mirage]

did you see example mod in steamodded?

[frosty dock]

not that useful for this tbh - it only has a composite hand

[languid mirage]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/main/example_mods/Mods/RoyalFlush/RoyalFlush.lua

[frosty dock]

which doesn't work for this

it's technically composite, but it doesn't compose strictly out of other hand parts

[languid mirage]

eh

it does have main parts you need

[tidal edge]

high card + pair doesnt work to my knowledge

ive already tried

[languid mirage]

because high card in game is defined as not any other poker hand

[sand rune]

Question, is there a way to prevent a joker from being sold e.g locking it but not debuffing, alternatively how could I spawn a UI block under the joker area?

[tidal edge]

i think what i need is related to straights

whatever code checks a card

and then makes sure its one after

ive tried to find it

but i keep failing

[frosty dock]

yeah but the hand part for that is specifically the highest ranked card

so it should use atomic_part, not composite

[sand rune]

I believe its evaluate_play and it uses the selected_hand with the text it destructs at the top

[languid mirage]

ah true

[red flower]

havent coded a hand before but is it something like this

[tidal edge]

does that mean i should change this

[frosty dock]

such a thing doesn't exist in vanilla, ranks are highly hardcoded. Steamodded does change this, given the value of a card, you can get all the ranks that come after it by SMODS.Ranks[card.base.value].next

[frosty dock]

yes, atomic_part = function(hand) ...

hand contains all cards in the played hand as Card objects

[frosty dock]

that has a few issues:

• it doesn't capture even vanilla ranks being non-transitive, i.e. a hand of AA2 will not activate this (Aces have an ID of 14)
• it doesn't have the wanted behavior for custom ranks, their IDs are in order of being registered and usually not useful

[red flower]

yeah, the first one I've noticed but I didn't want to just solve all the problems for them lol

[frosty dock]

then there's also the fact that get_X_same looks for exactly pairs, it won't tell you if there's a higher amount of same cards

I should probably add a utility function for that like get_X_or_more_same(n, hand)?

[tidal edge]

oh yeah, considering the fact i do want to make other "run" hands that's probably something i need to consider

[red flower]

If you want to make other types of run hands that are considered separate then I think the base get_X_same is more useful then so you can distinguish between pair + card and three of a kind + card
I think

[frosty dock]

not really

a 3+1 run still contains the 2+1 version

base game code accounts for these containing hands explicitly

which is barely extensible

atomic_part = function(hand)
  local ret = {}
  local _pairs = get_X_same(2, hand, true)
  for _, _pair in ipairs(_pairs) do
    local rank = SMODS.Ranks[_pair[1].base.value]
    local run = false
    for _, card in ipairs(hand) do
      for _, next_rank in ipairs(rank.next) do
        if card:get_id() > 0 and card.base.value == next_rank then table.insert(_pair, card); run = true end
      end
    end
    if run then table.insert(ret, _pair) end
  end
  return ret
end

or maybe instead of get_X_or_more_same, I'll add an optional argument to get_X_same that will count higher pairs

so like get_X_same(2, hand, true)

perhaps that's cleaner

[red flower]

what does atomic_part do btw? does it add it to the result table that evaluate_poker_hand gives you?

[tidal edge]

i dont think this does actually exist

infact, i got an error about it when selecting a card

[frosty dock]

I literally just said I need to make it

[tidal edge]

oh

i read it as

"this might exist"

sorry :(

[frosty dock]

no, I just wrote the code under the assumption it exists

[languid mirage]

why would you not break after run= true btw

[frosty dock]

there could be multiple next ranks

[languid mirage]

that would be two pair then

[frosty dock]

no

two different ranks that both follow the pair's rank

[sand rune]

@frosty dock quick question, do you know if there any resources for spawning custom UI’s and any ordering one should be aware of as you seem quite knowledgeable about the game?

[languid mirage]

ah

[tidal edge]

well it does fix the issues

AA2 is now possible

[lean ledge]

I have a bit of a question about the inner workings of Balatro, if anyone can help me

How does Balatro take the string used for random Seeds and uses that?
Like
I'm making my own card rogue lite (Based on Uno instead of Poker)
And I wanna implement a similar Seed system
But for some reason Unity's Random class can only contain an Int?
So I thought, okay I'll take a 8 character string, convert it to number, and we're good to go
However, if there's too many numbers, the string exceeds the limit of Integers...
So I wanted to ask how Balatro does it
Maybe I'll get some inspiration

[tidal edge]

jee just realised how common this hand i made is

[lean ledge]

Like I know Balatro doesn't use Unity for its engine so I'm not expecting a clean 1 to 1 conversion

[frosty dock]

I think Eremel posted an in-progress UI guide somewhere here at some point? The source code as-is is pretty much useless for understanding how it works given its terrible formatting

[lean ledge]

As much as I'm hoping to hear more about the inner workings of the game and maybe get some inspiration to fix my own situation

[frosty dock]

this

[languid mirage]

I don't think thunk would be happy with using his seeds code for a different game, but if you just want to see the idea, the stripped code can be found in a C & C++ rewrites for seed searching
https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Immolate/

[lean ledge]

Oh yeah I wasn't gonna copy him one to one

I don't even know what his algorithm looks like

[frosty dock]

I'm more than happy to try and explain something in more detail, should it be needed

[languid mirage]

also you can probably ask Math in #1209513992519946250 as they're the one who made immolate

[frosty dock]

oops, there's another issue here, actually

[tidal edge]

really? working fine in my experience

[frosty dock]

base.value doesn't account for stone cards having no rank

get_X_same accounts for it, but say you had a stone card that was originally a seven and played it along a pair of sixes

[tidal edge]

is there a way i can prevent that

[sand rune]

Awesome! Ill do a search and see if i can find something 🙂

[frosty dock]

#💻・modding-dev message

should be this

[frosty dock]

yeah i just edited it in, checking for a positive return value from get_id is the least hardcoded way to go about it, I think 💀

[wintry solar]

I am also around to help out with ui related queries

[sand rune]

Thank you!

[sand rune]

And thank you, to you too 😄

[tidal edge]

anyway thank you immensely for the code that you wrote, i definetly wouldnt be able to progress with the mod without the help

:D

(to make it work currently i just used "get_X_same(2, hand, true)")

[frosty dock]

alright you'll be able to keep that, just adding in the patches to make it work

[tidal edge]

but theres one more thing i was wondering

would there be any major issues if i tried to make a "house" variant of it

eg.

55566

replacing the high card with a rank one higher with a pair

[frosty dock]

yeah no doubts it could be extended to that

thinking the or_more arg to get_X_same should also be useful for that

get_X_same(1, hand, true) basically gives you the cards grouped into lists of cards that share the same rank

that's probably good enough to generalize

just pushed the util to main

[tidal edge]

would that be to replace the other get_x_same code from the previous code

[frosty dock]

you can keep it as is, the third argument of true now just actually does something

[tidal edge]

so what exactly would i change if i wanted it to account for a "run house" as i call it

[frosty dock]

let me write up a generalization

[frosty dock]

function get_run(hand, len1, len2)
    local ret = {}
    local minlen = math.min(len1, len2)
    local pair_list = get_X_same(minlen, hand, true)
    local _pairs = {}
    for _, v in ipairs(pair_list) do _pairs[v[1].base.value] = v end
    for _, rank in ipairs(SMODS.Rank.obj_buffer) do
        local curr = _pairs[rank]
        if curr and #curr >= len1 then
            local run = false
            for _, next_rank in ipairs(SMODS.Ranks[rank].next) do
                local other = _pairs[next_rank]
                if other and #other >= len2 then
                    for _, v in ipairs(other) do
                        table.insert(curr, v)
                    end
                    run = true
                end
            end
            if run then table.insert(ret, curr) end
        end
    end
    return ret
end

[tidal edge]

oh what the hell

[frosty dock]

I rephrased in terms of ranks because that's more efficient

[tidal edge]

before you posted that

i think i solved it kinda

i have no idea how, and full house and other run hands work normally

i just changed it from > 0 to > 1

[frosty dock]

that should make no difference

[tidal edge]

oh it was just bias

i tested more

and it just replaced run of three

[frosty dock]

did you make it a composite hand with full house?

[frosty dock]

ah

[tidal edge]

loll

sorry

[frosty dock]

so the nice thing about this is that it can completely disregard any cards that don't form a large enough pair (a singleton is just a pair of one card)

len1 and len2 would be the min amount of cards needed in the lower/higher rank respectively, you can pass these in as needed from your atomic_part function

[tidal edge]

i know it sounds stupid but, if i wanted to use this function; where do i put it

[frosty dock]

atomic_part = function(hand) return get_run(hand, 2, 1) end

[tidal edge]

and i assume before or after the atomic part function i also put the thing (the big code that you sent a min ago)

[frosty dock]

you'll want to put that somewhere in top scope of your mod file

i.e. not in a poker hand object

[tidal edge]

i put it directly after the header

because thats all i can think of

does that work

[frosty dock]

sure

[tidal edge]

after i put it there it errored

[frosty dock]

hm

are you missing a comma somewhere?

[tidal edge]

well everything is exactly how it was put in messages

maybe i need to add a { onto that end

well that gave me another error

[frosty dock]

I'll have a look if you send the file

[frosty dock]

oh you need nothing from the previous atomic part function

the end of that file should look like

  atomic_part = function(hand) return get_run(hand, 3, 2) end
}

oops, there

and get rid of the excess } after the get_run function

[tidal edge]

oof

this is my end of the file

[frosty dock]

this

[tidal edge]

what "}"?

the line doesnt have one

[frosty dock]

i did not send that last message as i wanted it to, apparently

[frosty dock]

for the excess }, i mean the one you put after this function

[tidal edge]

oh ok

oh yeah shouldnt the end of the file have an "end" somewhere

[frosty dock]

maybe also read up on lua syntax a bit more and get a code editor that catches these syntax errors as you go - vscode has a lua extension

[tidal edge]

yeah notepad isnt the best code editor

lol

[frosty dock]

you need an end to close the function and a } to close the table constructor

[tidal edge]

oh my it didnt immediately crash

it might work

awww nope

what went wrong?

is somethign wrong with my atomic part for the house, its not working

[frosty dock]

could you send the file again? I'll do some testing, maybe I messed something up in generalizing the function?

[frosty dock]

oh wait you only ever sent a snippet and not the full crash so I can't tell, did you update steamodded?

[frosty dock]

yeah well

you can't expect a functionality I just added to be there if you don't update

i thought that was self explanitory

[tidal edge]

didnt know it was updated

ssry

and i think the last hand i need to add

is the flush run

a normal run

but all cards have to be of the same suit

[frosty dock]

that doesn't make too much sense for a 3-card hand

[tidal edge]

yeah your right

nevermind

run of four it is

i guess the mods done for now

ill check if it works

ohh what the fukc

i didnt even change anything

i just rebooted it and it did this

what does that error mean

its linking to a non mod file

[frosty dock]

i think that means your above_hand isn't valid

[tidal edge]

i put run of four above run house

whats wrong with that

its literally called run house in my mod

[frosty dock]

are you registering run of four after run house?

[tidal edge]

yep

[frosty dock]

ah nvm, it just needs your mod prefix

rh_Run House

[tidal edge]

still the same crash

i assume this is right

[frosty dock]

i forgot about the class prefix, actually

h_rh_Run House

mb

alternatively you can save the run house object like local run_house = SMODS.PokerHand { ... and then do above_hand = run_house.key

that gets you around dealing with the prefixes

[tidal edge]

i'd rather keep it prefixed for now

[frosty dock]

it will still be prefixed

it just means you don't have to denote them explicitly

but h_rh_Run House should work

[tidal edge]

omg

all that didnt matter

because i needed it above 4oak

not run house

😭

[frosty dock]

💀

[tidal edge]

its beautiful

but its not done quite yet

time for the planets

which are very easy

thank god

[lament fjord]

@regal wolf heard you're investigating a vanilla memory leak, got any leads?

[regal wolf]

not investigating it yet, but its on my list

theres a few different possibilities, and I also saw someone report a memory leak from just afking on the main menu.

so there might be multiple, lua is notorious for memory leaks

[lament fjord]

After a while of natural play, I get slowdowns, especially when I move my mouse around (not even over anything in particular)

I've hooked the nuGC function to print if it hits its memory limit, and it's reporting that it's getting those, in rapid succession, in this state

So yeah bona fide memory leak

[regal wolf]

yep

[tidal edge]

would the planet atlas want the size of the 1x atlas or the 2x atlas

for px py

[tepid crow]

1x

[tidal edge]

if i use my 1x size, what xpos and ypos would i need to display the first planet?

[lusty epoch]

Assuming everything is correctly spaced, first one would be 0,0, 1,0, 2,0 etc

[regal wolf]

can you describe exactly what is happening when the memory leaks start occouring?

[tepid crow]

if you get like a black/gray box you're outside the boundaries (which really should throw an exception, not just silently throw up nothing, but ya know)

[tidal edge]

0, 0 just displays the entire image squished

[lusty epoch]

It shouldn’t

[lament fjord]

I get smol lag spikes at frequent and extremely regular intervals when I move the mouse

[tidal edge]

idk why i put the right values

[lament fjord]

That's when the symptoms start that is

[regal wolf]

on the main menu? in a game?

[lament fjord]

Wherever I happen to be

[regal wolf]

it happens as soon as you load up? or after some amount of time?

[lusty epoch]

Don’t use 325 and 106

[lament fjord]

After a while of playing

[regal wolf]

ok

[lusty epoch]

Use 71 and 95 in code

[tepid crow]

use the size of the individual images, not of the whole sprite sheet

[regal wolf]

i wonder if its data not being correctly deleted

[tidal edge]

i tried and it did this

[tidal edge]

^

[wintry solar]

Then your sprite sheet is wrong

[tepid crow]

what do you think went wrong here?

[tidal edge]

i dont know i made sure my sprite was positioned right

[tepid crow]

what's the first 71x95 pixels of that sheet from the top left?

[lusty epoch]

yeah they're not positioned correctly

try using this one

(make sure the image is named correctly though)

see if it works

[tidal edge]

what would i have to do to make it 2x as well

[tepid crow]

I think cryptid has a nice little auto upscaler

yeah here you go: https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Cryptid/blob/main/assets/1x/resize.py

[tidal edge]

how do you use it

[languid mirage]

you need python

[tidal edge]

yeah i do

but it just quickly opens

and closes instantly

[languid mirage]

py resize.py <filename>

without the <>

[tidal edge]

u sure?

[languid mirage]

pip install PIL or something

[tidal edge]

that gives an error

[primal robin]

Hello everyone. How can I do smooth transition for changing alignment in UIBox?

[languid mirage]

google it

the first error

[crisp coral]

here's one i use that converts all files in assets/1x when run in the mod folder

[lament fjord]

There aren't a whole lot of heap profiling tools for luajit 2.0

Might have to grit and strain through luajit 2.1 again

[maiden phoenix]

Genuine question, why do people use a Python program to scale their art? Don't most art programs allows that?

[tidal edge]

why do all these programs keep telling me i dont have a PIL module

i installed pillow module which is the same thign

[tepid crow]

try py -m pip install pillow and possibly (?) restart the cmd after you've installed it

[tepid crow]

one click button to upscale every image is a lot easier than going through all of them manually

[tidal edge]

is it just supposed to not do anything for ages

[maiden phoenix]

Oooh I see

[tepid crow]

the install shouldn't take longer than ~10 sec

[tidal edge]

i have already isntalled pillow, its just not working with anything that uses PIL

is that why

[tepid crow]

if you see this

C:\>py -m pip install pillow
Requirement already satisfied: pillow in c:\users\user\appdata\local\programs\python\python311\lib\site-packages (10.4.0)

then you already have it installed yes

[tidal edge]

well it didnt show that

it just

kept

going

and its still doing this

but when i dont use py

it works

[tepid crow]

🤔

what does py -m pip -V say

[tidal edge]

well just to try to fix some stuff

im quickly installing a new python

ill try that when im done

[tepid crow]

alrighty

I suggest not having multiple python versions installed at the same time unless necessary btw

can get kinda messy

[mellow sable]

I use it because I don’t make the art, ppl send it in various resolutions and the python program lets me drag and drop to fill out both 1x and 2x properly

I literally just make the spritesheets in Paint

I also “made” resize.py (or rather, prompted an AI to make it )

[tidal edge]

cant imagine having people willing to draw for me 😭

[tidal edge]

lmfao

[mellow sable]

m7

[tidal edge]

this is my best balatro art

its a grey piece of cheese

[unkempt thicket]

what am I missing?

[mellow sable]

I made like two assets total for balatro modding

Vulcan in the planet example mod and Labyrinth in Cryptid

And for both of them I used tools to help me (not AI lmao)

[tidal edge]

share your wisdom on how to get people to draw for you

[languid mirage]

ref table contains all instances of the game object

you don't have it

look at other game objects

[mellow sable]

make a community project that ppl want to contribute to

[maiden phoenix]

"You should draw for me cuz I'm awesome and epic"

[tidal edge]

perfect

still cant get that python thing to work

pillow just doesnt want to work

the programs tell me that PIL is not installed when ran

i've checked about 20 times

and i have installed newest pillow

i feel like im bashing my skull against a wall of knifes

jgskjfsjdasjldas

[tepid crow]

?

[tidal edge]

nothing so far

nothing

absolutely nothing

[tepid crow]

it returns without no output?

[tidal edge]

oh

after a while

it did this

and thats it

[tepid crow]

and py -V?

wow sorry that's stupid

I mean pip -V

[lament fjord]

Is this before or after you reinstalled python

[tidal edge]

it took too long so i ended up not doing it

[tepid crow]

well there's your issue

your pip isn't your python's pip

[tidal edge]

how do i fix that

[lament fjord]

If you somehow installed pip through some mechanism outside of using python to do so, uninstall that

[tepid crow]

no

he installed python once through python.org (presumably), and once through the windows store

both come bundled with pip
