As I had explained

[night pagoda]

that confused me greatly

let me take a look again then

[zealous glen]

There’s update_*_pack where * can be arcana, spectral, standard, buffoon, and celestial. Presumably Steamodded adds its own

[night pagoda]

yup, I see

[zealous glen]

Actually

There may be a simpler way

You can try cleaning the CardArea with the pack’s cards and refilling it

Arcana does it in create_UIBox_arcana_pack

[night pagoda]

refilling is the part that will break it potentially, especially if mods add their own behaviors

[zealous glen]

That seems simpler and less likely to break things

Refilling I mean

[night pagoda]

that's what I originally planned but reopening is much more reliable

[zealous glen]

Because it doesn’t manipulate states

[zealous glen]

Alright, but at least reword your vouchers then ;P

[night pagoda]

lmao what we just said is completely opposite

[zealous glen]

I mean I think refilling is easier and less likely to break

Remaking a CardArea seems simpler and more stable than controlling how the state changes

I’m being repetitive, sorry

[opal spade]

its real but as i said it'll probably be only a couple jokers at most

dont rlly like how the art turned out but idk what to do for it to not be like that

[zealous glen]

Interesting

danganronpa mentioned

[crisp coral]

danganronpa sleeper agents...

[zealous glen]

Homestuck sleeper agents where are you

[glass scaffold]

KAMAKURA KAMAKURA KAMAKURA-

[opal spade]

didnt plan on making that one but when i realized how easy it would be to translate the original effect (pick two players - swap their hands) into balatro and how much value it would actually have i went to it

[crisp coral]

project moon sleeper agents where are you

[zealous glen]

The actual value is a bit limited but you can play one hand twice

[zealous glen]

is that like Touhou or Fate

[opal spade]

15 card deck synergy

[crisp coral]

no that's type moon

[zealous glen]

Or wait is it the Library of SCP series

Ruina of Ligmus

L

Lobotomy Corporation

[opal spade]

either that or a selfdestruct button if u do it at the start of the round

its funny

[crisp coral]

also this being a one-time use makes it nearly worthless

[zealous glen]

@opal spade self-destruct

Oh I didn’t post Ouroboros here

I have a Joker that refreshes your Hands, Discards, and deck when sold

It’s at least more useful than my original idea for it IMO

[opal spade]

the problem is that idk how else i could trigger the effect w/o taking away control from the player

[zealous glen]

Button

Or tie it to Consumeables

Or the first hand or discard or something

Or a specific hand or somesuch

[opal spade]

that seems like a good solution

what about making it so the card comes back at the end of the round

only if it does the effect though

[zealous glen]

At that point I think it could be a button

[tepid egret]

quick question, i updated my steamodded and now senddebugmessage logs aren't appearing anymore, is there a setting i have to change or smth

[opal spade]

the new steamodded added a setting for how verbose the logs are

probably that

[zealous glen]

Yes

You can change from the default (info?) to debug

[tepid egret]

where

or how

[opal spade]

mods menu settings

[tepid egret]

ahhh

interesting

[night pagoda]

@zealous glen what do you think of this?

[hushed cradle]

if effects[ii].x_chips then
                            if effects[ii].card then juice_card(effects[ii].card) end
                            hand_chips = mod_chips(hand_chips*effects[ii].x_chips)
                            update_hand_text({delay = 0}, {chips = hand_chips})
                            card_eval_status_text(G.hand.cards[i], 'x_chips', effects[ii].x_chips, percent)
                        end
                        --If hold mult added, do hold mult add event and add the mult to the total
                        
                        --If dollars added, add dollars to total
                        if effects[ii].dollars then 
                            ease_dollars(effects[ii].dollars)
                            card_eval_status_text(G.hand.cards[i], 'dollars', effects[ii].dollars, percent)
                        end

                        if effects[ii].h_chips then
                            mod_percent = true
                            print('yeah im supposed to be giving chips but fuck you')
                            hand_chips = mod_chips(hand_chips + effects[ii].h_chips)
                            update_hand_text({delay = 0}, {chip = hand_chips})
                            card_eval_status_text(G.hand.cards[i], 'h_chips', effects[ii].h_chips, percent)
                        end```

is there something obvious im doing wrong here?

x_chips works but h_chips doesnt

h_mult still works so its not like ive broken the game

judging by the eval message not working too its smth wrong with h_chips

but it clearly exists as when i print everything in eval it prints h_chips

[zealous glen]

Looks good! What do Tarot packs look like?

[night pagoda]

There's something that blocks the button from spamming in the shop

[zealous glen]

Hmmm… are you just recreating the pack cards or did you go with your original idea?

[night pagoda]

And I'm not sure what

[night pagoda]

I open the pack as I did but without getting rid of the previous one

and removed all delays/animations

[night pagoda]

I guess that doesn't really matter because I'm going for one-use reroll anyway

but I still want to know tbh

[hushed cradle]

might be smth to do with button delay?

[zealous glen]

Where did you test the others

[night pagoda]

the others what?

[zealous glen]

Hmmm so you don’t redraw cards and skip animations, but still manipulate the state a bit

[zealous glen]

The other packs

You said there’s a delay only from the shop

[night pagoda]

no no no, I meant that the reroll button in the shop has a delay, the vanilla button

I want to check how to make the button unclickable like that too

[zealous glen]

Ah

I think maybe there’s a stop_use

I never learned how to use that

[hushed cradle]

if effects[ii].h_chips then
                            mod_percent = true
                            print(effects[ii].h_chips)
                            hand_chips = mod_chips(hand_chips + effects[ii].h_chips)
                            update_hand_text({delay = 0}, {chip = hand_chips})
                            card_eval_status_text(G.hand.cards[i], 'h_chips', effects[ii].h_chips, percent)
                        end```

its literally printing 13

effects[ii].h_chips is 13

it prints 13

and then doesnt add it to the total

or display the message

why

it literally exists

someone please help

im going insane

it says 13

😭

[wintry solar]

Is h_chips a valid effect?

[hushed cradle]

do i need to put somewhere as a valid effect?

ive made it

there isnt like a G.valid_effects is there?

if by valid you mean it is a thing

then yeah

i have the message working but im just feeding it a value of 13 chips

that was to test

because i cant pass it effects.h_chips apparently

[zealous glen]

If it’s not I should add it

[hushed cradle]

quite literally what im doing rn

okay so the message works too

it just wont add it to the total

if effects[ii].h_chips then
                            mod_percent = true
                            print(effects[ii].h_chips)
                            hand_chips = mod_chips(hand_chips+effects[ii].h_chips)
                            update_hand_text({delay = 0}, {chip = hand_chips})
                            card_eval_status_text(G.hand.cards[i], 'h_chips', effects[ii].h_chips, percent)
                        end```

this works apart from the mod_chips bit

omg i see it

no

no

no

please

i hate myself

its meant to be chips

so it was working

but didnt look like it

i swear i copy pasted that line

no idea how theres a typo

well now x chips and h chips and x h chips are all working

and so is my custom edition

[crisp coral]

ughhh i hate lua junk

how do i modify G.LANG.font without also modifying G.LANGUAGES["en-us"].font

[frosty dock]

aren't those the same table?

[crisp coral]

...yes, self.LANG = self.LANGUAGES[self.SETTINGS.language] or self.LANGUAGES['en-us']

that's why i complained about lua junk

[frosty dock]

that's not even lua junk

that's just how object references work

[crisp coral]

ugh

what would be a good workaround

right now i have this at the start of Game:update

and uh. the problem is pretty clear

[frosty dock]

make it use copy_table when assigning to G.LANG

[static juniper]

Is there a way to shuffle Jokers before a hand is scored? I tried to use this code from Amber Acorn, but it only takes place after the hand is scored, not before.

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ trigger = 'before', delay = 0.2, func = function() 
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function() G.jokers:shuffle('aajk'); play_sound('cardSlide1', 0.85);return true end })) 
        delay(0.15)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function() G.jokers:shuffle('aajk'); play_sound('cardSlide1', 1.15);return true end })) 
        delay(0.15)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function() G.jokers:shuffle('aajk'); play_sound('cardSlide1', 1);return true end })) 
        delay(0.5)
    return true end }))
end```

[stray warren]

Confused as to why I'm getting this error for this code:

        -- If boss blind defeated, reset all rank flags and reset x_mult
        if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss and not context.blueprint then
            for i=1, #card.ability.extra.ranks do
                card.ability.extra.ranks[i] = false
            end

            card.ability.extra.x_mult = 1

            return {
                message = localize('k_reset'),
                colour = G.C.RED
            }
        end

It only happens when I put the return statement in

'for' limit must be a number

[frosty dock]

[maiden phoenix]

Experimenting with SMOD's consumable type

Just goggle'd it and bread isn't a pastry nor is it spelled pastery but otherwise it's neat

[stray warren]

Just tried it with this code and it calls card_eval_status_text 16 times?!

        -- If boss blind defeated, reset all rank flags and reset x_mult
        if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss and not context.blueprint then
            for i=1, #card.ability.extra.ranks do
                card.ability.extra.ranks[i] = false
            end

            card.ability.extra.x_mult = 1

            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, { message = localize('k_reset'), colour = G.C.RED})
        end

I'm doing something wrong, I just know it

[maiden phoenix]

There are multiple things called in context.end_of_round

[maiden phoenix]

Try context.end_of_round and not (context.individual or context.repetition)...

[wintry solar]

it's calling it on every card you have

I think

[stray warren]

Yup, I forgot those exclusions. the return works fine now

[wintry solar]

I don't think you need the individual one btw

[maiden phoenix]

He does... but usually nothing calls it

[stray warren]

I was referencing Campfire's code for this, and I didn't see Campfire referencing those contexts, so I didn't think to use them

[tepid sky]

what is the best balatro mod? :)

[wintry solar]

I might have missed the individual context I suppose

but I'm pretty sure the game never sends a context that has end of round and individual

[stray warren]

Oh, i see, the base game does reference context.repetition, it's just up in it's own elseif so I didn't see it in the breadcrumbs

[maiden phoenix]

Much better

It feels like something that should be in the base game

what about the mod that adds colours?

[stray warren]

Not sure which one you are referring to

[tepid sky]

me neither

[mellow sable]

[zealous glen]

It's just missing the quick play feature

Then Galdur will be on the way to the crown

I'm pretty sure I can do that super quick but I'm down a rabbit hole with stake stuff for smods 😢

[zinc pelican]

Anyone know of any example mods that add a custom button to the run area? Like where run info & options button would be

[wintry solar]

Ante 1: 300/300/300
Ante 2: 800/900/1000
Ante 3: 2000/2600/3200
Ante 4: 5000/8000/9000
Ante 5: 11000/20000/25000
Ante 6: 20000/36000/60000
Ante 7: 35000/60000/110000
Ante 8: 50000/100000/200000
ewwww thunk why are these just abritrary numbers

[brisk quartz]

arbitrary numbers best numbers

[wintry solar]

Ante 4 just makes no sense

[languid mirage]

how so

[mellow sable]

Numbers were just picked based on feel by thunk I think

[wintry solar]

I'm not sure how to rationalize this

I can go with reasonably close formulas apart from ante 4 I guess

[regal wolf]

It's because they were altered in testing.

Initially it was a lot more uniform in its growth AFAIK

[wintry solar]

oh I guess I can just have an equation based system past scaling of 3

Ante 1 - 300
Ante 2 - 700 + 100*scaling
Ante 3 - 1400 + 600*scaling
Ante 4 - 2100 + 2900*scaling
Ante 5 - 15000 + 5000*scaling
Ante 6 - 12000 + 8000*(scaling + 1)*(scaling/2)
Ante 7 - 10000 + 25000*(2^scaling-1)
Ante 8 - 50000*(2^scaling-1)

thought's on these?

I'm not sure if ante 7 and 8 ramp up too fast or not

this also doesn't match the ante 4 values from in the game but I only plan on applying this past base game scaling anyway

[wintry solar]

this would be scaling levels 4 and 5 for reference

[zealous glen]

Just fit a 9th degree polynomial

[zealous glen]

There’s a formula for past ante 8 in the files. I think it has some powers of powers/exponentials of exponentials going on

[crisp coral]

we love ante 4 scaling

[zealous glen]

It’s less important that the numbers follow a nice pattern than the game feeling good to play. Thus the game can have difficult spikes and valleys.

Eyeballing it, I get the impression each ante (for the first tier) is on the order of magnitude of twice the previous ante, so I’m guessing thunk started there then adjusted up and down.
The higher tiers are closer to thrice, except it slows down to twice on 7 and 8.

6~8
16~20
4~5
10~11

What's the dimensions for a Joker texture?

[young cloud]

the image as a whole is 71x95

the actual texture itself is 69x93

so essentially just 71x95 with a 1px invis border

[glass scaffold]

Thanks

context.other_card:is_suit('Hearts')

How do I convert this into triggering if it's a 6 or a Stone card?

[hushed cradle]

if context.other_card.ability.name == 'Stone Card' then

and

if context.other_card:get_id() == 6 or

i think

[glass scaffold]

And how do I add to Mult instead of multiplying?

[hushed cradle]

return mult instead of x_mult

if thats what you mean

are you making a joker that gives mult for 6s and stone cards?

[glass scaffold]

Yes.

[hushed cradle]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
  if context.other_card:get_id() == 6 or context.other_card.ability.name == 'Stone Card' then
    return {
      mult = card.ability.extra,
      card = card,
    }
  end
end```

should work

[static juniper]

I'm trying to make a Joker where "On discard, Spade cards held in hand have a 1 in 2 chance to give $1". I've been trying to make this effect for a while and can't figure it out. This is what I have so far, where I've been trying to take code from Reserved Parking and adapting it to work with discards (without the 1 in 2 chance implemented yet), but all this does is juice up the first Spade card in hand and do nothing.

    for k, v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
        if v:is_suit('Spades') then
            G.GAME.dollar_buffer = (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0) + card.ability.extra.dollars
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = (function() 
                    v:juice_up()
                    G.GAME.dollar_buffer = 0
                    return true
                end)}))
            return {
                dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars,
                card = card
            }
        end
    end
end```

[glass scaffold]

Works flawlessly. Good work.

[hushed cradle]

👍

[hushed cradle]

this im not so sure about

[static juniper]

It's a pretty advanced effect, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to start understanding these if I want any chance to not completely die while attempting to mod this game

[hushed cradle]

i mean looking at it im not even sure why it wouldnt work

maybe

ug

uh

probably because its returning inside the for loop

so it only ever checks the first spade card

and juices that

that would be my best guess

[static juniper]

I don’t really know how to make it give the dollar though

[hushed cradle]

you can call ease_dollars inside the event

[crisp coral]

this is because you used return, which terminates the entire loop

use ease_dollars and SMODS.eval_this for the message

actually eval_this has the dollars arg

no it doesnt

ease_dollars(card.ability.extra.dollars)
SMODS.eval_this(card, {
  message = localize('$')..card.ability.extra.dollars,
  colour = G.C.MONEY,
})

[static juniper]

This is pretty much exactly what I needed, thanks! The only problems I had were that the animation was playing on the Joker (which I fixed by changing card to v), the effect being applied once per discarded card (which I fixed by adding and context.other_card == context.full_hand[#context.full_hand] to the condition) and another issue that I have yet to fix:
The spade cards that are currently being discarded are counted for money, which is not the intention. I'm not sure how to fix that quite yet. Here's what I have right now

    for k, v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
        if v:is_suit('Spades') then
            ease_dollars(card.ability.extra.dollars)
            SMODS.eval_this(v, {
                message = localize('$')..card.ability.extra.dollars,
                colour = G.C.MONEY,
            })
        end
    end
end```

[crisp coral]

you can do v ~= context.other_card

[static juniper]

But then if v is anything but the last card, it will still be counted, because context.other_card == context.full_hand[#context.full_hand] makes the block only run on the last card to ensure it's run once. Removing that would apply it to every card individually, meaning, discarding five spade cards, each spade individually would give $1 four times.

My first thought was to make an array of all the context.other_cards and check if v is contained within the array, but I don't know if I can get the array to not reset itself between each change in context.

My attempt to put the array in config lead to the game crashing, telling me that items cannot be appended to a nil value.

[crisp coral]

que

i guess you can check for discarded cards with card.highlighted??

[static juniper]

I'm not quite sure how to use that right now, but that did lead me to realize I was overcomplicating it and I could just use context.full_hand as my array. Here's the finished code:

            
    local function has_value (tab, val)
        for index, value in ipairs(tab) do
            if value == val then
                return true
            end
        end
        return false
    end
    
    if context.other_card == context.full_hand[#context.full_hand] then
        for k, v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
        if v:is_suit('Spades') and not has_value(context.full_hand, v) and pseudorandom('gold_rush') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra.odds then
                    ease_dollars(card.ability.extra.dollars)
                SMODS.eval_this(v, {
                    message = localize('$')..card.ability.extra.dollars,
                    colour = G.C.MONEY,
                })
            end
        end
    end
end```
(In case you were wondering, I already had the `has_value` function from something else)  Thanks for the help!

Pointers?

[stray warren]

No, I like safe programming

[glass scaffold]

Can I just rip the code from the Strength tarot card to increase the rank of a card or is there something special for it?

[static juniper]

My goto strat for questions like this is to just try it and see what breaks

[glass scaffold]

So having for i=1, do gives this:

[opal spade]

you need a second value

[glass scaffold]

h u h

[opal spade]

so like for i = 1, 10 do would loop 10 times

you can add a third value to determine how i increments (w/o a third value its +1)

[glass scaffold]

Well, that fixed that issue (Thanks).

And now begins the fun rabbit hole of debugging.

                    elseif rank_suffix == 10 then rank_suffix = 'T'
                    elseif rank_suffix == 11 then rank_suffix = 'J'
                    elseif rank_suffix == 12 then rank_suffix = 'Q'
                    elseif rank_suffix == 13 then rank_suffix = 'K'
                    elseif rank_suffix == 14 then rank_suffix = 'A'
                    end
                    card:set_base(G.P_CARDS[suit_prefix..rank_suffix])
                return true end }))```

Those 2 dots are literally from the game's source code (line 41), so I got no clue

Anyone have an idea?

[opal spade]

remove the ,

[wintry solar]

Which one is line 41?

[opal spade]

it seems like its local card = card,

[opal spade]

it expects something after the , on line 40

what does line 40 do here though?

[glass scaffold]

Yep, that was it because now it shows a new error

[glass scaffold]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Legit copy-pasted Strength's source code and now I'm working backwards from there.

[opal spade]

you're defining a local card by using local card as the definition

[glass scaffold]

Should I move that line outside the calculate function?

[opal spade]

vanilla does ranks differently than smods so it makes sense to look at smods.rank first

[wintry solar]

There’s some more rogue commas

[opal spade]

that + look at the code in /lovely/dump to see how lovely changes strength

[glass scaffold]

Same code as the base game in /lovely/dump.

[glass scaffold]

What lines have rogue commas?

Nevermind, found them and got rid of them.

So that's all good

[red flower]

you should probably look up how to add lua support to your editor so it tells you where the mistakes are in advance

[glass scaffold]

Well, I have Lua installed on my VSCode

[red flower]

that's weird then, it usually marks everything red if you have even a single trailing comma

[glass scaffold]

Ok, so I just moved the atlas code above the calculate and it fixed itself.

Now I'm able to launch into the game.

Testing time.

So I'm able to summon it.

No effect.

It's supposed to trigger on all non-scored cards.

Issue is: why is it just sitting there like a duck?

[wintry solar]

Your contexts are wrong

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1247703015222149120

[crisp coral]

not even context is wrong

you're doing local card = card

which means you're trying to upgrade the joker itself

use context.other_card

[glass scaffold]

Look good?

Nope, that didn't work.

where do I need to put context.other_card?

[opal spade]

you need to rename the local card into something else (it conflicts with card of calculate)

also btw the way smods handles strength: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/f8493ad3c82634864f6f9f04eb2e0f9881ad61ff/core/game_object.lua#L1715

[glass scaffold]

Thanks for dropping the resources

[glass scaffold]

"i have no idea what i'm looking at"

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/f8493ad3c82634864f6f9f04eb2e0f9881ad61ff/core/game_object.lua#L1744 this is the important part, the rest is just flipping cards and making noises

[tepid sky]

i got winrar

i even copy pasted balaro into my mods folder for easy acess

what do i convert it to?

or extract it to?

or what do i do ;-;

[frosty dock]

wdym

[tepid sky]

i previously didn't want to use winrar cuz it looked sketchy

i am trying to learn how to mod balatro my self

but i'd need to extract balatro into a zip iirc?

i just don't know if i need to mess with any settings

[frosty dock]

if you're trying to look at the source code, you just extract the executable as if it were a zip file

because that's all it is

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki this is another important resource

[tepid sky]

but do i just click ok then without messing with any settings?

also i already installed lovely and steamodded

[frosty dock]

yeah

[frosty dock]

mhm just pointing you to the docs

[hushed cradle]

might be a really stupid question but i do need a name for my hand?

ive got a name inside the loc_txt, but the wiki doesnt explicitly say anything about a name

and im getting an error and wondering if thats why

[tepid sky]

oh wait, i can just open things-

[hushed cradle]

nvm it works now , apparently the key i was using just isnt allowed ig

[tepid sky]

oh hey i did it- i got all textures and shaders straight out of the game- xD

funny

omfg

i can make my own talking joker-

:OOOO

[frosty dock]

what key were you using lmao

[tepid sky]

ooh the custom fonts >_>

[hushed cradle]

hand_blackjack

apparently it didnt like that

whoever wrote this wiki stuff on poker hands im ngl you have probably written it well, but im way too stupid to understand it

[opal spade]

any advice on avoiding creating ghost cards?

[crisp coral]

use events

[hushed cradle]

uh what is the evaluate parameter for SMODS poker hand?

is it a function?

does anyone know of any mods that have these poker hands in them so i can have a look at them?

the example mod isnt enough unfortunately

[frosty dock]

just read down

[hushed cradle]

so does it take a hand argument? tried doing #hand and it threw an error i think

lemme check again

[frosty dock]

six suits, bunco

bj hands too but I think the port's not fully finished?

[frosty dock]

it takes parts and hand

[hushed cradle]

evaulate = function(parts, hand)
        local ret = {}
        for i = 1, #hand - 1 do
            local next_highest = get_highest(hand)[1]
            local rank = SMODS.Ranks[next_highest.base.value]
            if #ret == 0 then
                if rank.key == 'Ace' then
                    table.insert(ret, next_highest)
                end
            else
                if (rank.key == '10' or rank.face) then
                    table.insert(ret, next_highest)
                    return {ret}
                end
            end
        end
        return {}
    end```

at a glance would you be able to tell whats wrong w this?

other than the -1

[maiden phoenix]

"evaulate"

[hushed cradle]

💀

[frosty dock]

the fact that evaluate is misspelt?

[hushed cradle]

yep thatll do it

mb lol

ah im not removing from hand

[frosty dock]

get_highest returns a table containing a table containing the card

also I advise you don't modify hand

[hushed cradle]

probably a good idea yeah

god my code is so ass

[maiden phoenix]

More bread testing

[crisp coral]

omn bread game

[maiden phoenix]

Prob gonna try to replace "use" to "eat" and maybe use SMODS Sound to add a crunch. Tho I'll prob way til calculate is enhanced for consumables

[hushed cradle]

evaluate = function(parts, hand)
        local ret = {}
        local ace = false
        local ten = false
        for i = 1, #hand do
            local rank = SMODS.Ranks[hand[i].base.value]
            if not ace then
                if rank.key == 'Ace' then
                    table.insert(ret, hand[i])
                end
                ace = true
            end
            if not ten then
                if (rank.key == '10' or rank.face) then
                    table.insert(ret, hand[i])
                    ten = true
                end
            end
        end
        if ten and ace then return ret end
        return {}
    end```

got no idea what im doing 😭

out of interest, is the composite function in the example mod different from evaluate?

i would think so because its called smth else

but idk how it work if it is

??

SMODS.PokerHandPart{
    key = 'blackjack',
    func = function(hand)
        for i = 1, #hand do
            local rank = SMODS.Ranks[hand[i].base.value]
            if not ace then
                if rank.key == 'Ace' then
                    table.insert(ret, {hand[i]})
                end
                ace = true
            end
            if not ten then
                if (rank.key == '10' or rank.face) then
                    table.insert(ret, {hand[i]})
                    ten = true
                end
            end
        end
        if ten and ace then return {ret} end
        return {}
    end,
}```

i give up w hands bruh

[hushed cradle]

no way it my steamodded was outdated

damn

[primal robin]

Is it possible add new boss blind with atlas properly without using Steamodded?

[night pagoda]

Uhhh?

[lament fjord]

Double check that self.config has an entry for center

Indexing a table with a key it doesn't have gives nil

[night pagoda]

yeah I don't have a config at all

but it's optional so something isn't right

I should say that the code on the screenshot is from steamodded, pool.toml to be exact

also I can't get this crash consistently for some reason

[zealous glen]

Minecraft eating sound

[languid mirage]

this is so sad, can't figure out how to fix the lines from pixelating 😦

[zealous glen]

Someone had a similar issue… probably @wintry solar ?

Unless I’m misremembering

[opal spade]

i figured out how to make this work

[zealous glen]

I’ve updated the text since then, but this is it @dim ice

[languid mirage]

I think you mean myst

[zealous glen]

I don’t think so

I don’t remember myst working on shaders

My next guess was @silent @edgy reef when they were adding dice to tooltips

Failure

But it could’ve been a third person too

[languid mirage]

the only thing I can find on google is trying to disable mipmap, but because jokers are all in 1 atlas, and textures are reused, it will disable it for everything

tho my suspicion it's the vertex shader, somehow

[dim ice]

kk, i might make an exception and draw champions belt early

[zealous glen]

I think the issue is that the game is interpolating the color in-between those two colors

Someone else had that exact issue

[languid mirage]

the issue is also present without pixel smoothing enabled

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I tested a lot of things trying to figure this out

[zealous glen]

I think the issue is because Balatro doesn’t use nearest neighbor

[languid mirage]

it does

if you disable pixel smoothing

[zealous glen]

It’s a love2D setting not a Balatro setting

hmmm

[zealous glen]

Still, have you tried making your squares bigger? So they overlap?

[languid mirage]

huh

what squares

[zealous glen]

These squares

[languid mirage]

you mean pixel size

and lines still appear with pixel size 2

[zealous glen]

No

[languid mirage]

currently pixel size 10 is used

[wintry solar]

I had this problem

[zealous glen]

You are looking at a 10x10 square and averaging the color

But I want you to draw that color in a 11x11 square

Bigger than the original

So you end up with overlaps

[wintry solar]

that's not how shaders work

[languid mirage]

I tried that too

[wintry solar]

I tried loads of things and couldn't find a solution to the lines

I think it's just a consequence of the way love scales it's canvas

[languid mirage]

the only thing I could think of

[zealous glen]

Did you try drawing it smaller 🤔

[languid mirage]

is applying blur shader of this

draw what smaller lol

[zealous glen]

What you did but -1 instead

So you draw on 9x9

After averaging on 10x10

[wintry solar]

is this with the base layer not being drawn?

[languid mirage]

base layer has no effect

[zealous glen]

I mean some people have made pixelation shaders for love2D, so it can’t be impossible 🤔

[languid mirage]

already tried

[wintry solar]

and it still draws the weird lines with pixel smoothing off?

[languid mirage]

high res jimbo

was trying smth funny

[languid mirage]

yep

I dont see how it'd have any effect

[wintry solar]

I didn't get the lines with pixel smoothing off iirc

[languid mirage]

pixelation is easy

background shader has pixelation

it's when plane is moved then the lines appear

and because lines are always horizontal, I believe it's the vertex shader

but I dunno how

[dim ice]

@zealous glen i may have a small issue, i cant really find the repentance shop door, which is needed because champion's belt appears only in shops

[stray warren]

Ooh, are you making an Isaac mod?

[dim ice]

yes (theres alot of art of it in fan-art)

[dim ice]

ping just incase

[stray warren]

Actually sick. I was thinking of doing this myself, glad someone else thought of it

[stray warren]

The ping is required

[tepid sky]

seems like a funny joker: over pixelated

[crisp elbow]

God I was JUST thinking of this too

Calling it the Ballad of Jimbo

I made like one card idea for a spindown dice where it would go based off the shop collection to go down a joker

Is there any way we can all collab on like ideas? 😛

[crisp elbow]

btw curious. Wdym by the "shop door", like in game or as a sprite?

[zinc pelican]

Dumb question, new to lua and still very novice at programming, can someone explain what the highlighted hud.nodes[1] etc is doing?

[languid mirage]

this works

but instead of removing, I needed to use linear

downside is that mipmap is applied to all atlases

[dim ice]

the sprite, i couldnt find it anywhere

[hushed cradle]

is there an easy way to edit this badge?

[crisp elbow]

upscale it through Aseprite

[dim ice]

thanks

[hushed cradle]

also any way to change this badge without renaming the joker?

[opal spade]

set_card_type_badge(self, card, badges)

[crisp elbow]

if you own Isaac you can dump the sprites yourself using the modding tools

[hushed cradle]

cool ty

[opal spade]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/05.-SMODS.Center

[hushed cradle]

didnt realise there wa s a function for it

i knew how to add to badges but not change

can i use that to change the jokers badge too?

[languid mirage]

apparently it breaks spectral card textures somehow 😭

[opal spade]

yes, it replaces the rarity badge if you do that

[languid mirage]

ok nevermind it was a steamodded issue

[hushed cradle]

cool ty

[stray warren]

I'd have to start thinking of them. Feel like Sacred Heart and Godhead, stuff like that, should be Legendaries lol

[crisp coral]

HI CAN I STEAL THIS

[crisp coral]

i think it might be because its atlas has different dimensions?

[crisp elbow]

I mean most quality 4 items would probably be legendaries

[languid mirage]

#1209564621644505158 message

[languid mirage]

maybe

[crisp coral]

for some reason that thread was removed from my theads list

[languid mirage]

I am considering adding mipmap as a setting to steamodded

[crisp elbow]

do it

mipmaps

[crisp coral]

i need the pixelation shader for the challenge

pleadeline

[languid mirage]

because rn it's just a lovely patch that you can't toggle

[stray warren]

That's a lot of legendaries 🤯 probably should split Rare into Q3-4, and pick a few of the best Q4 items and make them legendaries

[crisp elbow]

True..

I can make a mod thread, I'm no coder but I'm a concepter / artist

[hushed cradle]

how do i make the colour change with the hand level?

[dim ice]

finally finished it

[crisp elbow]

God we should all collab...

[stray warren]

Or... There could be new rarities Quality 1, Quality 2, Quality 3, and Quality 4

[crisp elbow]

Some items I feel would be better as consumables too 🤔

Like Spindown dice being a spectral fits

[dim ice]

there are so many possibilities

[crisp elbow]

we should do it real

[stray warren]

And 0

[hushed cradle]

how do i pass a colour variable to loc vars?

whats the syntax

[crisp elbow]

the elusive quality 5

[dim ice]

you want to add color to the description?

[hushed cradle]

yeah

for a planet card

[dim ice]

you dont put it in loc vars

[hushed cradle]

so the colour has to change

[dim ice]

oh like the color of hand lvl changes when it lvls up?

[hushed cradle]

yeah

[dim ice]

you dont really need to make it accurate to the hand lvl color

[regal wolf]

Check BU-CB — there’s a lot of examples in there

[hushed cradle]

ty 🙏

[regal wolf]

Np

[dim ice]

wait, i thought it was a joker, im kinda dumb

[crisp elbow]

Dude there could be unlock conditions where you have to win with certain decks or something

I just realized that

[regal wolf]

G.localization.misc.v_text.ch_c_cm_no_overscoring = { "{C:attention}Blind{} score must not exceed {C:green}#1#%{}" }

for example

[dim ice]

also, i actually have an interesting idea, you see the different borders i put on every item? those are representations of the item pool. when you buy an item, you actually have to buy a random item from an item pool

[hushed cradle]

i wanna change the colour tho

[crisp elbow]

That could be neat lowkey

[regal wolf]

yeah, {C:attention}Blind{} Changes the colour of the word "Blind" to the "attention" colour stored in G.C

[hushed cradle]

sorry i mean like

yk how the planet cards

the colour of the level changes when you level them up

[regal wolf]

oh yes

[hushed cradle]

not sure what i do with {V:1} here

[regal wolf]

update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.9, delay = 0}, {level=G.GAME.hands[hand].level})

[stray warren]

have entire completion make pages to complete

[regal wolf]

there's some sort of function that maps the level to colour

[tepid crow]

I think that allows you to pass a colours arg in loc_vars?

[regal wolf]

i forgot what it is but check in the level_up_hand func

[hushed cradle]

yeah but how lol

thats what im tryna get to the bottom of

i have to colour

[regal wolf]

?

[hushed cradle]

i have the loc text

i just need to put the colour in the loc text

[stray warren]

Don't you do the {C:color} thing?

[regal wolf]

yeah

thats what I said initially?

[hushed cradle]

yeah but it needs to be variable

[regal wolf]

.

[hushed cradle]

i need to pass in a colour variable to that

but that will only ever be attention colour

hold on

[regal wolf]

no?

look at the end of it lol

[regal wolf]

{C:green}#1#%{}

[hushed cradle]

you see how the lvl.x colour changes

[languid mirage]

the game does it this way

[regal wolf]

^

[hushed cradle]

i have the colour

i need to pass it into the description

[hushed cradle]

but thats not how to do it

[languid mirage]

you would need to go into localize function

and see how it works exactly

[regal wolf]

bro pls

just look at bu-cb-dev

[hushed cradle]

i understand that i can do {C:red}red{} for red text

etc

but the colour of a hand level changes depending on level

so when it generates the ui box

from the localization file

it has '{S:0.8}({S:0.8,V:1}lvl.#1#{S:0.8}){} Level up', in it

where it passes a colour in for V

instead of just being {C:red}lvl{} and then the colour would only ever be red

[hushed cradle]

loc colours

right

that might work lemme see

[languid mirage]

no

[regal wolf]

😭

[languid mirage]

the part before loc colors

loc colors just gets the default colors

like CHIPS and whatever

[hushed cradle]

idk what im lookingat then then

ah

[languid mirage]

you need to send list of colors

[hushed cradle]

so colours table goes inside vars

[languid mirage]

into vars.colours

[hushed cradle]

i still dont know the syntax tho so i cant get it to work

well thats a step in the right direction

thank you stupid

[languid mirage]

np

[hushed cradle]

no idea why its white tho 😭

[languid mirage]

maybe value is null

[hushed cradle]

huh

no apparently

the hand level

first colour

is actually white

[languid mirage]

oh yea

[hushed cradle]

why lol

just gonna have to manually set it to ui text_dark if its level 1 ig

[languid mirage]

because it's background color

[hushed cradle]

ohh

makes sense now

yk your name isnt very fitting

[languid mirage]

game also manually overrides it to black

[hushed cradle]

cool to know

[static juniper]

I'm still trying to get this Joker effect to shuffle cards before a hand is scored. This is what I tried to do, using some code from Amber Acorn, but for some reason, it still only shuffles them after the hand is scored.

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ trigger = 'before', delay = 0.2, func = function() 
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function() G.jokers:shuffle('aajk'); play_sound('cardSlide1', 0.85);return true end })) 
        delay(0.15)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function() G.jokers:shuffle('aajk'); play_sound('cardSlide1', 1.15);return true end })) 
        delay(0.15)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function() G.jokers:shuffle('aajk'); play_sound('cardSlide1', 1);return true end })) 
        delay(0.5)
    return true end }))
end```

[hushed cradle]

if you add an event the events are done until after the round or smth like that

i had smth similar trying to add an event for a joker to dissappear

but it only went after the cards had scored even if the event was made before that

[static juniper]

Is there a way to get the shuffle to happen before the hand?

[hushed cradle]

probably, but not that i know of

sorry

[hushed cradle]

having a bit of trouble making a spectral apply an edition to a card

use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.4, func = function()
            local over = false
            local edition = 'e_sneaky'
            local sneaky_card = G.hand.highlighted[1]
            sneaky_card:set_edition(edition, true)
            card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
        return true end }))
    end,```

just chaned the key back to e_sneaky but that gives the same error

[frosty dock]

that assertion checks for the key starting with e_

so it sohuldn't raise the same error if it's e_sneaky (but shouldn't there be a mod prefix?)

[stray warren]

Should be e_cere_sneaky, right?

[hushed cradle]

ah right

i never know when i need mod prefixes, because sometimes it feels like i dont need to use them

i tried cere_e_sneaky but that didnt work lol

so i ruled out a problem with the prefix

but obv not

[frosty dock]

the class prefix is always first

so e_cere_sneaky is probably right

[stray warren]

Unless you manually defined a prefix

[hushed cradle]

works perfectly, thank you

[stray warren]

That's a neat idea

[hushed cradle]

i think its quite funny lol

[frosty dock]

you never need mod prefixes when you're passing a key or key-like string (i.e. something that refers to a different object's key, so atlas, shader, etc.) to a smods API constructor

[crisp coral]

would that prevent perma_debuff

[hushed cradle]

it should

[crisp coral]

because i don't think bunco's fluorescent does

[frosty dock]

exceptions are things like requires on vouchers that are expected to also process other mods' objects

[hushed cradle]

local blind_debuff_card_ref = Blind.debuff_card
function Blind:debuff_card(card, from_blind)
    if card.edition and card.edition.type == 'cere_sh_sneaky' then
        card.debuff = false
        return
    else
        blind_debuff_card_ref(self, card, from_blind)
    end
end```

this is the code for it lol

[crisp coral]

okay so how do i prevent a debuff prevention

[hushed cradle]

this is good to know, thank you

[crisp coral]

asking for specifically one card

[hushed cradle]

nuh uh

[frosty dock]

cere_sh_sneaky also looks wrong

[hushed cradle]

oh yeah its not that anymore

oops

good spot

so when im making jokers, consumables etc

do i not need to add j_ or c_ at all

why did it do that

j_, c_

steamodded automatically does that?

[crisp coral]

yes

[hushed cradle]

cool

[unkempt thicket]

how does stickers work, implementation wise

[tepid sky]

@shell timber i got a question about the github site, do i just add a pickture called "logo"? or do i need to change a configure somewhere in the index.html? or anywhere else for that matter

[cobalt leaf]

so scale of 1-10 how difficult would it be for a guy that has like one high school class of experience in java to make a mod

[zealous glen]

I mean it depends on the scope

[tepid sky]

depends on what u want to make

[cobalt leaf]

you know thats fair

LMAO

let's say like an average sized content mod

10 of everything

[tepid sky]

r u entirely new to coding?

[cobalt leaf]

ive diddled around before but i dont exaclty know how to CODE

you know?

[tepid sky]

nice cuz i am entirely new :)

[cobalt leaf]

dope

i see youre a flush enjoyer

im a high card/straights guy

[tepid sky]

nice

[cobalt leaf]

ooh u know what would be funny

[tepid sky]

i liked checkered deck the most as well as plasma :>

[tepid sky]

??

[zealous glen]

What is everything

Also I think 10 of everything is a lot

Like that’s about as many planets as there are

And half of tarots

[cobalt leaf]

how big of a scope would it be to make 52 custom hands

for each card being a high card

so u got like 7 of spades and u can level it up

[zealous glen]

I mean if you know how to code that should be very small

[cobalt leaf]

ill diddle around maybe

is lua the same thing as the roblox

LMAO

[zealous glen]

I’d recommend looking at High Card mod

[cobalt leaf]

so it exists already?

[zealous glen]

And I’d also recommend the Homestuck mod but it’s not out but

Hold on

[cobalt leaf]

plasma is dope

[zealous glen]

No. It’s named after the anime https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1219505109613023252

Anyways the Homestuck mod allows you to level up ranks

Which is similar

[cobalt leaf]

oh hey that looks dope

ill check it for sure

[zealous glen]

Keep in mind it’s technically outdated

[tepid sky]

i my self am working on a phew mod consepts and i want to actually mod them too when i get lua on my laptop

[zealous glen]

Steamodded 1.0 isn’t officially out but most people use it

[zealous glen]

I don’t think you need anything specific to start modding besides the actual game and a decent text editor for coding

[tepid sky]

yea, so lua

[zealous glen]

???

[tepid sky]

lua, the coding language?

nvm, i'll look at coding

later

once i get some actuall joker and things ready

[zealous glen]

If you have the game you don’t need anything else specific

[tepid sky]

wait fr?

huh cool

[cobalt leaf]

a text editor is like where you do the coding, lua is just the language

so like

notepad is a text editor

notepad++ is a name ive seen thrown around but that was years ago

[tepid sky]

hmm i'll look into it tmr

[zealous glen]

There’s also Sublime Text and VSCode

[cobalt leaf]

yeah i heard of those too

[tepid sky]

i'll look later

as i mentioned

i actually need the cards

[stray warren]

Or VSCodium if you don't want Microsoft snooping on you

[tepid sky]

and things already

[zealous glen]

I used Sublime Text for modding Balatro but recently I changed to VSCode

Personally I prefer to start with coding because: 1) it’s easier; and 2) if I change my mind I didn’t waste time on an asset

[tepid sky]

i'll try vscode :)

[stray warren]

https://vscodium.com/ in case you care

[tepid sky]

if i do not have use for the assets anymore i can always iguess give it to somebody else?

[zealous glen]

SublimeText might be easier for a beginner. VSCode has a lot of features but, like, that might be a bit much to start with

[tepid sky]

its fine

[zealous glen]

Although the file search feature of SublimeText isn’t as good as other text editors

[tepid sky]

i'll push my self tru it somehow

for now i will go on with making jokers/abilities

[cobalt leaf]

so are there any like, tutorials?

[tepid sky]

i'll prob just copy paste some joker templates

and hope it works

[cobalt leaf]

so do most mods work by just editing the source code or what?

i could probably just LOOK at some

[tepid sky]

i'll just copy the code which adds a joker? change the values?

[static juniper]

I highly recommend extracting the Balatro source code to see how everything works

[tepid sky]

i already have done that, got everything in a folder :)

[cobalt leaf]

+8 mult if played hand contains a pair

[stray warren]

More along the lines of adding code ON TOP of the Balatro source code I think

Lovely patches change the source code

[cobalt leaf]

yeah i just changed the name of some hands

which is cool

[zealous glen]

Steamodded

[zealous glen]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1249736308394299452

[cobalt leaf]

yeah i know i just wanted to do this with the fish mod i alr got on my computer

[zealous glen]

Oh yeah fish mod :D

I heard it was made by some handsomixeled giant golden baby

[cobalt leaf]

it's you...

[cobalt leaf]

hey is this license file u put in the fish folder important btw

[zealous glen]

In hindsight maybe not, but GitHub suggests adding one

[unkempt ridge]

Slapping a few things together to try and get file loading to work, to better differentiate stuff in our mod.
Error tho, and not sure what we're missing really

[mellow sable]

do you have a return statement at the end of your file?

[tepid sky]

U make it seem so easy 👀

[unkempt ridge]

Yeah we added one at the end of our Joker file, and that doesn't work

Unless you mean a return statement on like, the main file?

[mellow sable]

for some reason the error is being caused by your file not returning anything

is there an error message in the lovely console?

[unkempt ridge]

slapped in a senddebugmessage and discovered this
Something's wrong with the g diffuser the main.lua?

[cobalt leaf]

i mean tbh i just stole the code for the fish mod and then replaced "flush five" with "straight" then "fish" with "gay"

and you can make a ton

for every hand

so it was easy

[tepid sky]

Lol nice

[cobalt leaf]

now time to rename jokers

[unkempt ridge]

Maybe it's our file paths?

[cobalt leaf]

does anyone know how id go about changing the name of already existing jokers?

[cobalt leaf]

is this not in G.localization.descriptions.Joker?

OHHHHH I GOT IT

YES

[zealous glen]

Do yourself a favor and get Steamodded

[cobalt leaf]

isnt that for like, running mods?

im under the impression that steammodded is for running mods

[zealous glen]

It also makes modding easier

[cobalt leaf]

you don't say...

[zealous glen]

like your mods won’t get Thanos snapped if you update the game

And there are APIs that make doing stuff easier

[cobalt leaf]

sounds pretty good

so how do i access that

is it gonna be in the steammodded mod i alr have installed?

oh @zealous glen im not actually coding the mod in the source code if thats what you mean im just trying to find the stuff to replace text in there

[zealous glen]

Read the wiki

Also if you have Fish that serves as an example, although I don’t think it’s updated to 1.0

[cobalt leaf]

no it works on 1.0

should at least

unless im in a gaslighting competition and the opponent is myself

[cobalt leaf]

i built the mod starting from the source code of fish so far, so i should be good to go

"the source code of the fish" being a solid 1 line of code

[unkempt ridge]

Does anyone have a general 'file loading' guide we could follow?
Trying to figure out what to return, what to have in a different file, etc.

[unkempt ridge]

We have never been happier to see +7 jokers added to 451
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-JRdRXiNv4

[stray warren]

Ok, so I've got this function that creates a custom context for when a Joker is destroyed. The problem is that it is in the start_dissolve function, so Jokers that don't use the dissolve animation will not call this custom context (Gros Michel, Ice Cream, Popcorn, etc...).

-- Add new context for destroying cards of any type (Used for Sacrificial Lamb)
local start_dissolve_ref = Card.start_dissolve
function Card:start_dissolve(dissolve_colours, silent, dissolve_time_fac, no_juice)
    if self.getting_sliced then
        for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do
            G.jokers.cards[i]:calculate_joker({destroying_cards = true, destroyed_card = self})
        end
    end

    start_dissolve_ref(self, dissolve_colours, silent, dissolve_time_fac, no_juice)
end

Another issue is that those Jokers do not count as getting_sliced, so I'm trying to figure out some way to register that action for those Jokers to call my custom context with calculate_joker. Any ideas on what I can do for this? Or a mod that implements a context like this?

I guess somehow a way to check in remove_from_deck that it isn't getting removed because it was sold

[unkempt nebula]

If I wanted to change how straights were calculated as a mod how would I overwrite the current straights function with steamodded?

[cobalt leaf]

hey anyone know what the problem is here? i have em in an assets folder. do they need to be named something specific?

heres what the folder looks like, theyre just in that assets folder

which i imagine is correct

[tepid sky]

@shell timber is there like a line of code i can touch to change the name into the name of the pickture that isn't messing with the background? :,)

[cobalt leaf]

nvm got it. add ur 1x and 2x everybody

[tepid sky]

1x and 2x?

[cobalt leaf]

every texture has to have a version of it in a different folder that's twice the size it seems

[tepid sky]

hmm

[cobalt leaf]

so for this spritesheet i had to upscale it

[tepid sky]

so you need it 2x but one is big

[shell timber]

yes, this is so it looks crisp at high resolutions

[cobalt leaf]

i have to move the text closer to the middle tho its kinda hanging off

[shell timber]

anyways for this, i feel like learning some html would be useful, and it would be a transferrable skill

[cobalt leaf]

the bulk of my knowledge with lua has come from looking at other mods

[tepid sky]

sure thing

[tepid sky]

good idea ;-;

[opal spade]

flair pass

[tepid sky]

hmm nice

[opal spade]

instead of being rare im thinking of making it an uncommon with a condition to be in pool so it only appears when the deck is already small or something like that

[tepid sky]

ok ok logo shows, just not in the right place?

[tepid sky]

jippy

its centered

just need to make it bigger :>

[glass scaffold]

how do I make a Joker's effect activate when a Booster Pack is opened?

[wintry solar]

What do those jokers do when they are being removed?

[primal robin]

Check Hallucination

[glass scaffold]

thanks

[opal spade]

currently 40% of the deck (so 20 for standard deck), still unsure tbh

i tried 1/3rd but it felt like too much

[zealous glen]

I don’t know if the Joker should list its spawn condition

Maybe only in the collection

[opal spade]

its only in the collection, ye

[crisp coral]

mosb synergy pog

[opal spade]

just had a test run (changed the condition to be static 20 cards - so abandoned deck has easier time) and the buffed ult.magician (i changed it to be "sell any card" to swap) is really fun to play around

[primal robin]

Can I spawn voucher outside of game screen?

[rain imp]

Theoretically, yes, if you call the function without calling the UI

[primal robin]

My task: display voucher redeem animation properly on boss blind start

But with this code voucher spawns on top center of screen

[tepid sky]

i am still working on getting the logo to show and be in the correct placement

[primal robin]

Dude you have div closing but no div opening

[tepid sky]

i got help from in a coding discord :>'

[stray warren]

They call card:remove(), card:remove_from_deck(), but they don't have the getting_sliced attribute so my previous solution won't work for those functions

[wintry solar]

Hmmm, probably needs some targeted patches to add some sort of label to them in that case

[tepid sky]

@shell timber so uuh, i copied all your code, changed nothing but some picktures doesn't like to show (i've been trying for days doing little configurations), while inspecting the page i could only see j_joker while not being able to see the logo-bg

or sticker-bg

even tho github says it passed everything

do you know by any chance how to fix it? :)

[shell timber]

wait

have you been deleting and replacing the files every time you want to change the website???

huh????

[tepid sky]

not really

i haven't kinda replaced files at all

this is the img folder rn

i did take you logo background to test if it would work

but i did use my own logo

[shell timber]

okay

have you touched the html at all

[tepid sky]

rn, no

[shell timber]

well then that would be the reason

look. the template is meant to be a bare bones thing which handles the joker display and background. that is all. everything else you have to do yourself

[tepid sky]

hmm ok

sorry then

i'll try to inspect the page and try it that way

[shell timber]

inspect element does not save your changes you have to actually edit the html

look. before you try modding the game or doing anything i would recommend having a basic understanding of programming concepts

like. what is a string. what is variable. what is a function

if you try to start doing things without knowing what is what you will get lost immediately

[tepid sky]

i know i will not edit in it i will try and copy things :)

but the problem rn

is that the logo-bg and logo-nobg aren't on the site? but they passed all the checks in github

[shell timber]

github doesn't actually check your code or anything. it just puts the files on the server. the reason they aren't on the page is because they aren't referenced in anything

[tepid sky]

i did put this in the html in the same place you have it
<div class="logostuff">
<img src="assets/logo-bg.png" class="logobg">
<img src="assets/logo-nobg.png" class="logo">
</div>

[shell timber]

okay. what i would recommend is setting up a local development environment so you dont have to keep reuploading your files to github every single time you want to see if your changes went through

[tepid sky]

hmm ok, got any tips for that?

[shell timber]

apparently you already have a live server config file. use live server. it is probably good for this

look. what i would recommend is actually learning what you are doing instead of copy pasting magic words. go look up a guide for how to learn what html is, what css is, what anything is

[tepid sky]

ok

[cobalt leaf]

how do i make this use the 2x version?

so it doesnt do this

[shell timber]

is the 2x version twice as large as the 1x version?

[cobalt leaf]

yeah

wait my exort is wrong

why didnt it 2x?!

WELL I GOT IT WORKING

LMAO

now its just gone

this is gonna be fun

[shell timber]

also an upside of actually learning what you are doing is if you learn the programming concepts you can apply them to other things

whereas if you only learn the magic words that do things you're stuck in one environment

[brisk pond]

guys where are the hand_chips and mult variables stored?

[cobalt leaf]

for jokers?

i think its on game_lua line 368

[wintry solar]

I don’t remember what they’re named exactly, but check out evaluate_play in functions/state_events.lua

They might just be hand_chips and mult tbh

[rough furnace]

Gm "developers" I kinda feel like some DebugPlus stuff, what should I do?

[stray warren]

Could I use a lovely patch to add card:getting_sliced = true inside the scope where banana goes extinct, just before the remove_from_deck() call?

[wintry solar]

I believe that would work, yes

[stray warren]

Cool. Now I've just got to learn how to do lovely patches

[languid mirage]

I don't think card:getting_sliced = true is valid lua

[frosty dock]

me when I card:getting_sliced() == true

[rough furnace]

has anyone else been getting lag when anywhere with a bunch of cards (like the blind select screen with the deck)?

I've been trying to figure out what's causing it and I am at the point where I have no mods and its still happening

ok wait the mod I was using to measure peformance was casusing lag

this gets a bit harder than

ok but something was causing lag

I guess it'll remain a mystery

[stray warren]

I wasn't thinking when I was typing, was in a rush. Meant card.getting_sliced lol

[languid mirage]

#1242974974701080617 message while that's true, to me steamodded is more of a platform for content mods

[rough furnace]

true, but even for DebugPlus I just added a super simple skeliton mod to add config and the toggle

[languid mirage]

oh yeah

[rough furnace]

maybe it would be good to make a lovely mod to add config pages to the settings like the spectral pack one that cryptid/tailsman does

[languid mirage]

ye that's what I was thinking

because right now

every non steamodded mod needs nativefs dependency

and then also separate config file and somehow fitting settings menu somewhere

[rough furnace]

I don't

[languid mirage]

I mean mods with configs

[rough furnace]

can't you use love.filesystem?

it's in the games config dir

also I'm working on a config

[languid mirage]

maybe, I kinda assumed it's harder to utilize as steamodded and some other mods mostly use nativefs for configs

[rough furnace]

I think you can just pass the function to render the config ui and do config yourself

[languid mirage]

would be much easier if you didnt have to do configs and localization yourself

[frosty dock]

ugh are we at the point now where steamodded is too universal with mods wanting its functionality without depending on it?

[tepid sky]

i think i should just quit while i am ahead 💀

[rough furnace]

truely an if SMODS then else end moment

[mellow sable]

yep

and no I'm not switching any of my lovely mods to steamodded unless they need them

[rough furnace]

yeah but also I've been kinda adding a little support

[regal wolf]

^

My philosophy currently is where at all possible, try to make it compatable for both steamodded and non steamodded.

[languid mirage]

well if mod has config file and settings, might as well use steamodded 😭 but I get the idea

[regal wolf]

well, not really.

[languid mirage]

yes really

[regal wolf]

It's another dependency.

[languid mirage]

you're just adding something that is already implemented in steamodded

for configs

that's why I didn't feel like adding settings menu for vanilla in cartomancer

[regal wolf]

thats great

[languid mirage]

it's just too much effort

[regal wolf]

each to our own

[rough furnace]

I've only messed with it a bit but I don't think its much work to render the settings ui in the settings panel if SMODS is absent, otherweise in my SMODS config page

[regal wolf]

that's what im trying to do currently actually

have you got anywhere with it?

[rough furnace]

I haven't actually looked at how the game renders a settings tab

but I got SMODS to render a ui I told it to and me handle the config writing (I don't actually save it rn)

[regal wolf]

I mean more so with checking if SMODS is present or not.

[rough furnace]

oh just if SMODS then end

[regal wolf]

Yes but I mean more specifically something like

Mod = SMODS.current_mod

Except if you're injecting in as well, because it has to be compatable without steamodded

[rough furnace]

make a file for steamodded to load and then call a global function/ module to tell the rest of your lovely stuff smods is there

[regal wolf]

then it could be loaded first, before steamodded due to lovely, and it would say that steamodded is not present.

[rough furnace]

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/blob/dev/smods.lua

although my dev branch may use smods stuff for convience I haven't checked if it works without

but before its prompoted to master I will make srue everything works

rn I just don't have a config without smods

but Imma work on that

smods is loaded super early

like before the title screen which is where 90% of your code will run

[languid mirage]

but smods stores configs for you

[rough furnace]

not in my case

config is optional you can still get the config tab without steamodded handling your config

actually let me see if I can get cryptid to do it's config in it's mod tab real quick

[regal wolf]

what is the global func u are calling?

[rough furnace]

I use a module

[regal wolf]

function G.FUNCS.DP_config_callback(args)
    print(require('debugplus-util').stringifyTable(args))
end

[rough furnace]

well in this case I assing to a global varibler cause I dont' acutally save config yet

[regal wolf]

this?

[rough furnace]

_RELEASE_MODE

cause thats about all mine does

but it would just be call your func instead of doign it yourself

[regal wolf]

yeah ofc

[rough furnace]

it's very early WIP

[frosty dock]

doesn't it already do that?

[rough furnace]

uhh the version I have doesn't

but it adds to the settings page

[frosty dock]

the spectral pack setting persists but just links to the smods config tab iirc

[rough furnace]

let me update this

oh cryptid does have it now

tailsman doesn't

let me see if I can get it working there than

as it works without stemaodded

wait this seems to have smods also save its conifg
