[royal ridge]

game seems to track used spectrals in current run?

or at least, it tries to

[maiden phoenix]

I think that one is stat related

Could always lovely inject your own G.GAME spectral count similar to tarot

[royal ridge]

ok no i tested it, replacing G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.tarot with G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral just works

[cedar flame]

oh never mind then, neat!

[maiden phoenix]

Ah ok lol

[placid frigate]

why is my joker so small?

[shell tangle]

You probably have 1x sized sprites in the 2x flder.

[unkempt ridge]

wee joker

[wary crescent]

When using context.open_booster , can i instead specify a specific type of booster?

[zealous glen]

Well, either the information needs to be passed to the context or you need to verify what type of booster it inside the calculation function

The might be doable depending on how the timing works, since Boosters have their own state, but modded Boosters have their own state, you perhaps something similar could work

[placid frigate]

Yes, would I need to remake the whole sprite or is there a program to just make it… bigger?

[wary crescent]

there are 3 different types i would need to look for, normal, jumbo and mega, which complicates things more

[shell tangle]

I think there's a few programs around that do it for you, I think there's one in Cryptid? I haven't touched any myself, in a lot of art programs, ou can also export at 200%, and ideally use nearest neighbor scaling if you can.

[shell tangle]

Found the post I was thinking of with some programs you could look at.

[placid frigate]

Perfect thank you

If you don’t mind me asking where did you learn so much about Balatro coding, I’ve seen you made a guide for making mods also

[zealous glen]

What’s the effect you’re trying to achieve?

[wary crescent]

Using a Spectral card increases the joker's XMult. Skipping Spectral packs resets Jokers XMult to 1x (or reduces XMult in some way)

[zealous glen]

Then why does the size matter?

I also don’t think the downside is needed

[wary crescent]

I guess it doesn't, im not sure how to check for a type of booster. Im looking through the game files, not exactly sure what im looking for

[zealous glen]

In your case you could just check the current state and see if it’s the Spectral Pack state probably

[wintry solar]

I'm pretty sure it's just G.STATE == G.STATES.SPECTRAL_PACK

[zealous glen]

Because I was thinking of the types of packs

Like Tarot, Planet, Buffoon, etc.

[zealous glen]

Outside of timing issues this should work

Question: can controllers drag cards?

[wary crescent]

Ok, and I like the idea of the downside bc opening a Spectral pack becomes a more intense gamble, you might have to take things that hurt your build or get penalized the problem is there are times where you literally HAVE to skip so maybe a downside is uneeded idk its just a fun idea

The other two issues is Ghost Deck and the voucher that adds Spectrals to Arcana packs. Having either of those helps mitigate the downside significantly. But maybe thats not a bad thing

[wary crescent]

Yes

[zealous glen]

Not really an issue

[wary crescent]

I sometimes play with a controller and i actually noticed certain mods (Fusion and Evolution Jokers) cannot evolve or fuse unless using a mouse

[wary crescent]

I think its worth considering a little bc I have the XMult sitting at a whopping +0.5x per Spectral card used. My thought was to have players greed there way into making terrible choices. Weighing a new type of risk.

[zealous glen]

That feels too low

[wary crescent]

I was thinking anywhere between 0.5x to 1x

What do you think

I think 0.75X with downsides would be 👍 Gives cards like Seance, Sixth Sense more utility too.

Opening one Mega Spectral Pack would give you +1.5X but you HAVE to take whatever nonsense is inside lol

After I finish this Joker I will have 6 Completed, then my wife will put some art together for them. And then I think thats good enough to release a little mini Jokers Pack 🔥

[zealous glen]

They feel rare enough I think X1

[wary crescent]

Really?? I mean, i get your probable mindset was to compare availability of Playing cards for Hologram vs availability of Spectral cards for this Joker. Idk. I will code it for +1X and test it from there 👍 You're probably right.

[unkempt thicket]

how do you apply code to editions? this doesn't work

[wintry solar]

calculate = function(self, context)
        if context.edition or (context.cardarea == G.play and self.playing_card) then
            ease_dollars(self.config.money)
            card_eval_status_text(self, 'dollars', self.config.money)
        end
    end

this is what my money edition does

edition calculation is a little scuffed iirc

[mellow sable]

I made Brainstorm much faster.

[frosty dock]

oh hey it's powered by immolate

[mellow sable]

it turns out in LOVE you can just load DLL files and... run code from them

so we fully Immolated Brainstorm

[unkempt thicket]

this did not appear to work

[wintry solar]

did it just not do anything?

[unkempt thicket]

correct

[wintry solar]

does your edition load okay?

[unkempt thicket]

yea, it loads in game and applies to cards just fine

[frosty dock]

https://tenor.com/view/not-stonks-profit-down-sad-frown-arms-crossed-gif-15684535

mod compat be like

[mellow sable]

it's hardcoded to not work with custom consumable types :P

and idk how I'm going to work with in_pool

[wintry solar]

try changing money in your config to p_dollars

ignore the calculate function

I think I built p_dollars into standard evaluation

[unkempt thicket]

that works, does there happen to be one for x_chips or will I have to add that myself?

[wintry solar]

I don't believe x_chips is supported

I need to work on edition calculation tbh

[static juniper]

Is there a way to permanently add mult to a card, like how Hiker permanently adds chips?

[cedar flame]

i'm trying to port a custom hand to the new steamodded format and having some trouble... playing the hand works great, but playing any non-scoring cards along with the hand immediately crashes the game in G.FUNCS.evaluate_play trying to sort the scoring_hand table:

i'll make a commit of my current file and upload it somewhere

https://github.com/rileyinman/Fibonacci/blob/steamodded_port/Fibonacci/Fibonacci.lua

specifically, i'm testing making a 3/4 card hand (get_smallfib function) with one unscored card played

[cedar flame]

fixed the issue :D

[opal spade]

we love self inserts

[wintry solar]

did support for multi rank cards get added?

[honest willow]

I'm making mod's config pages in steamodded
menu, why can't I creat text at last page?

[wintry solar]

text needs to be in a text node

[opal spade]

if it's just text w/o any configs, it would probably make more sense to put it into a custom tab instead of config

[honest willow]

still not displaying, i compared with steamo ui, but no reason found

[honest willow]

how can i put it into a custom tab?

[opal spade]

text nodes need a defined scale

[languid mirage]

total xmult is missing

[opal spade]

SMODS.current_mod.extra_tabs = function()

[opal spade]

it needs to return a table of label and tab_definition_function

or a table of such tables if it's multiple custom tabs

[honest willow]

oh that is the poin! I was stupid to delete it.

[lethal belfry]

so i'm trying to fix this version of reshuffled as an experiment, since the planet retextures aren't loading in and i'm not sure what to do since putting in sprite_planet:register() didn't seem to be the answer

or planets register, that didn't either

[tepid sky]

hey uuh- iguess my game doesn't want to be modded anymore?

[opal spade]

I feel like complete rewrite would be the better thing to do

[opal spade]

antivirus deleted version.dll

[tepid sky]

bruh-

could u send a link to where i could find it?

[lethal belfry]

what do you mean by that?

[opal spade]

unless you're trying to make it work for smods 0.9.8, rewriting it to follow 1.0.0 format would be better

[tepid sky]

ty!

do i just put it into the mods folder?

[lethal belfry]

nope, the directory

[tepid sky]

alright

[lethal belfry]

ahhhh that's why

yeah i think the mod hasn't been updated in a while

[tepid sky]

dangit, its not downloading even if i am allowing it

[lethal belfry]

pretty sure crim is waiting on official mod tools or something

who knows maybe that's localthunk's second card

[opal spade]

smods 1.0.0 is backwards compatible with 0.9.8 but making things use the 1.0.0 methods instead of relying on backcompat is more reliable

[lethal belfry]

wierd though because the other consumables work and they're all on the same spritesheet

it's JUST planets for some reason

everything else works fine somehow

also one last thing, where can i get the docs for 1.0.0's code

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki

[lethal belfry]

thank you

[tepid sky]

:OOOO

it sees it now!

:)

[lethal belfry]

so how do i replace the 8bitdeck.png with 8bitdeck-PAC.png?

[wintry solar]

put raw_atlas_key = true iirc

that might be wrong though

[opal spade]

just raw_key = true

[lethal belfry]

below the code?

[opal spade]

as one of the elements of the table

so SMODS.Atlas { key = "cards_1", path = "8BitDeck-PAC.png", px = 71, py = 95, raw_key = true }

[lethal belfry]

nope, still doesn't seem to work, the cards are still the same

and yes the mod is on, i checked

[opal spade]

oh its because the key for the cards is not the file name

[opal spade]

@lethal belfry try swapping the key to cards_1 like this

[lethal belfry]

eyyyy it works!

where do you even find the names for the atlas keys...?

[opal spade]

open the game as an archive, go to game.lua and they're at line 1014

[lethal belfry]

ahhh, there you are

[opal spade]

some entries will need to have a bunch of extra stuff in their tables bcos they're different

for example the blind chips are not asset_atlas and instead are animation_atlas

[lethal belfry]

animated ones yeah, THAT'S in the guide

[wary crescent]

The art for one of my Jokers would ideally have the card bigger than 71x95. Is this possible? Anything i need to keep in mind when implementing it?

[opal spade]

it'll need an atlas with px*py bigger than 71x95

[lethal belfry]

but it works! i made a mod! i am happy

[wary crescent]

Thats all? I figured there were some kind of sizing rules id need to follow without breaking something

[wintry solar]

you can change the pips in the left part too

they're ui_1

[tepid sky]

if i want to update steammodded do i just replace "steammodded-main" in mods?

[wintry solar]

do you want it to appear bigger than the other cards?

[tepid sky]

or do i need to do something else?

[opal spade]

yes

[lethal belfry]

ahhh i could do that

[tepid sky]

hmm nice

[opal spade]

wouldnt using a bigger atlas achieve that?

but yeah you can resize in code

[wintry solar]

no

the game will automatically scale any size to the standard size

[tepid sky]

it may or may not have crashed? :)

[opal spade]

ah

[wary crescent]

Yes, I want to put a card case around a regular sized joker it, like a sleeve for trading cards

[wintry solar]

you need to resize it in the code then

[opal spade]

card.T.w = G.CARD_W*size```

[wintry solar]

like how wee_joker works

[wary crescent]

Oh ok

[tepid sky]

it shows this on top

[opal spade]

what is inside steamodded folder

[tepid sky]

quite a phew things

what would u like to see spesifically?

[wintry solar]

the entire folder

[wintry solar]

have you dropped anything else in here?

[tepid sky]

not in the steammodded file no

[wintry solar]

did you update from 0.9.8?

[tepid sky]

.

[lethal belfry]

yayyyy i know how to do a retexture now!

[opal spade]

iirc for the playing cards there should be a way of adding custom textures that doesn't override the vanilla ones

[lethal belfry]

what do you mean?

[crisp coral]

it was in development, but it was heavily unfinished and removed now

[wintry solar]

I'm thinking of rewriting it as it's own thing tbh

[wary crescent]

Hm, is there a list of colors somewhere for BADGE_COLOUR?

nvm i think i found

[tepid sky]

1.0.0-alpha-0807c also brb i gtg for dinner

[opal spade]

unfortunate

[lethal belfry]

well nevermind-- i'm still not that good at modding

still got no idea what went wrong with it

[crisp coral]

what's the problem

[lethal belfry]

it is crashing

[crisp coral]

and what's the crash

[lethal belfry]

nevermind i found it! it was a single comma

[crisp coral]

💥

[lethal belfry]

but planets still don't work lol. and now blind chips don't either

oh boy

[shell tangle]

This is a crash from my example jokers mod that's in the examples folder, and I have no idea why it'd be even registering as a mod here. Did you move it out of the example mods folder, by any chance?

Or, if you used the example mod as a base for your mod, you might want to try changing the prefix at the top?

[lethal belfry]

maybe this old mod just... isn't gonna work with this new version of mod loader and the game

at least i got my thing working

[wintry solar]

what isn't working?

[lethal belfry]

i tried to recode reshuffled from 0.9.8 to 1.0.0 alpha but it still seems to have some errors

not sure if due to my lack of knowledge about modding or just 1.0.1f making things weird for prior mods

[wintry solar]

but what specifically isnt working

[lethal belfry]

all planet cards, some spectral cards, and the blinds though i'm pretty sure i just messed up something about animated sprites there

if you wanna see, here's the zip for it. i worked on the mod but it's not mine

[wintry solar]

you have a lovelyignore file in here

is that intentional?

[lethal belfry]

i think it was just in there

i don't know what it does either

[tepid sky]

alr i am back, could anyone help me with updating steammodded :>

[lethal belfry]

whatever the case it doesn't seem to do anything, deleted or not

[tepid sky]

oh-

it actually is one of the mods i had installed?

xD

[wintry solar]

for planes and spectrals they need an atlas for Planet and Spectral respectively

the .lovelyignore turns the mod on and off

[lethal belfry]

what really? okay lemme try that then

op wow you were right

now all that's left is the blind chips

  key = "blind_chips",
  path = "RS-BlindChips.png",
  px = 34,
  py = 34,
  raw_key = true,
  asset_table = 'ANIMATION_ATLAS',
  frames = 21```
not sure what's wrong here though

it's atlas table... not asset...

[wintry solar]

oh apparently you should use prefix_config = { key = false }, instead of raw_key = true too

[tepid sky]

i found the crash, it was my own wrong doing 🤦‍♂️

[lethal belfry]

yeah someone told me to do that before

only some minor issues with the mod... seals aren't loading and soul's top layer isn't working

which i have no idea what atlas key those would be

[wintry solar]

seals should be on centers

as should soul's top layer

[lethal belfry]

then why are the enhancements working but these aren't...?

[wintry solar]

🤷‍♂️

[lethal belfry]

well thanks for helping

that felt a little sarcastic it was not i appreaciate it

[wintry solar]

I can take a look a little later if no-one has helped

got to go feed the family now though!

[lethal belfry]

well good luck on that!

[shell tangle]

Question, does Familiar, Grim, Incantation, Sigil, and Ouija get replaced for you?

[lethal belfry]

i fixed it, they all get replaced now

only those two things

don't change textures for me

also i am going to slepp. it is 12:30am

[shell tangle]

Odd. Those 5 spectrals don't want to get replaced at all for me, and I assumed it was a symptom of SMODS taking ownership over those 5, as well as Strength from the tarots.

Other than that, I've looked around for the seal/soul issue as well, and don't know what it is. But I assume it's the same issue, because the seals and soul sprite also use the centers atlas.

Rest well.

[lethal belfry]

yeah might be something to do with steamodded just being in alpha, maybe they overlooked seals and soul

they aren't the biggest sprites

[tepid sky]

i am having a stroke trying to understand altases, anybody got tips?

[shell tangle]

Which part is confusing?

[tepid sky]

i am trying to make my first own joker

or mod in general

and i just cannot wrap my head around the atlas

like why does this happen?!

i know it fialed to collect the png but why would it crash then >_<

[shell tangle]

Likely incorrect atlas names/positions, it doesn't have anything to load.

It should be in the assets folder, and then the 1x and 2x folders should have a .png of your sprite with the same exact name, with 2x being two times the size of 1x.

[sharp phoenix]

the x and y values are the positions of the atlas cells not the px coordinates. that's not really explained anywhere and took me a while to figure it out

[tepid sky]

so i was correct, atlas is for sprites

alright

[crisp elbow]

Yep the atlas basically tells the game to load that spritesheet

[wintry solar]

Did you set the atlas key as Spectral?

[tepid sky]

is it ok to have the files like this? assets > 1x + 2x > type of thing (aka if joker or tarrot in future) > png's

[shell tangle]

Yeah, and all the other spectrals do get replaced.

[wintry solar]

Huh strange

[shell tangle]

No, everything needs to be directly in 1x/2x,

[wintry solar]

You can probably do nested folders, it just seems a bit odd when you can just put all your sprites on one sprite sheet

[shell tangle]

Really? Thought it wouldn't be found like that, but yeah, just make them all separated into 71 by 95 spaces, you can look at any of the base game textures to see how they do it.

[wintry solar]

I would assume as long as you get the path correct it’ll work

[shell tangle]

Here's a grid I use to line things up in an atlas easily.

[shell tangle]

Oh, like if it was "joker/shard1.png" kind of thing? Would make sense.

[tepid sky]

dangit, so no folder in 1x or 2x? :I

[tepid sky]

i'll try smth like that :)

:OOOO

151 pages

dangit-

i tried to look at it once i unlocked it and i crashed :)

hmm atlas is a nil value

[frosty dock]

folders inside 1x or 2x should be no issue

[tepid sky]

but this worked :D

oh-

it kinda worked tho

all i did is add: atlas=nil,

[wintry solar]

Why would you do that

[tepid sky]

idk otherwise it crashed

also i got it from the blank joker template

[wintry solar]

You need to tell it to use your atlas

[tepid sky]

hmm okey

[shell tangle]

What blank joker template?

[tepid sky]

its exactly the same as what it is called

i think it actually is for a older version-?

[shell tangle]

This thing? #1227289111862448290 message

[tepid sky]

yea that thing

[shell tangle]

Extremely outdated, yeah.

[tepid sky]

also it appears that the "next()" doesn't like to work "(table expected, got boolean)"

[shell tangle]

Show the full line?

[tepid sky]

will do

[shell tangle]

Try capitalizing Pair?

[tepid sky]

alright

didn't work

idk if it is handy but when i hover over the text inside the brackets i get this message

[shell tangle]

Show the crash screen?

[tepid sky]

it says that the next(...) is a bad argument

or what part you'd like to see?

[shell tangle]

Just the entire crash screen.

[tepid sky]

oh wow i did not know i could do this

[wintry solar]

next(context.poker_hands) == ‘Pair’

[shell tangle]

Or next(context.poker_hands['Pair']), it's completely on me, apparently I fixed that in my version of the vanilla examples mod but forgot to upload it to the PR?

[frosty dock]

yeah it's that one

[tepid sky]

wow thanks

[shell tangle]

@frosty dock Made a quick PR for whenever you feel like merging it.

[tepid sky]

whots a pr?

[cedar flame]

pull request

it's a request to submit changes to code

[tepid sky]

hmm oki

[regal wolf]

@wintry solar have you got any experience using shaders with UI elements?

[languid mirage]

look at how flames shader is applied

[regal wolf]

Oh I assumed that was just a sprite

[languid mirage]

it is a sprite yeah

with shader over it

[regal wolf]

Yeah that's not what I want, I'm talking about a UI element.

[languid mirage]

I don't know too much about how ui elements work, but that might not be possible

[regal wolf]

I don't think a sprite over the top would be enough.

Because I want to pass in transparency of the UI element.

to create a blur effect.

[regal wolf]

It is possible, it's just whether I would have to rewirte a massive chunk of the game's ui engine or not.

[languid mirage]

ye I mean within the current engine, lol

what exactly are you trying to do tho

if ui element is static you can probably create blur effect by applying shader to the entire screen

[static juniper]

I'm trying to make a Joker that applies an effect to a playing card if it is played immediately after it is drawn. In my head, that would require me to have a specific variable on the card itself that applies only to this joker effect. Is there a way to give playing cards an extra variable for this situation?

[regal wolf]

I want to add a blur shader to a UI element that has a translucent background.

[languid mirage]

ah

[regal wolf]

i.e. glass-morphism

I mean I could probably lobotomise a sprite and use that as the background -- with the shader applied.

and then have an invisible UI element node on top of that.

[languid mirage]

it won't work if you apply shader to the sprite

Because shader will only receive pixels of the sprite

[regal wolf]

I can just pass the pixels from behind the sprite I think

[languid mirage]

I don't think that's easily doable

I mean hm

might be doable cuz sprite receives screen pos as well

I mean shader

[regal wolf]

Yeah exactly

[languid mirage]

but I haven't really worked with shaders that much, I think there should be a way to pass the main canvas into shader

[zealous glen]

Speaking of shaders

Would you know how to make a particle shader?

[languid mirage]

like what?

[regal wolf]

Doesn't the game have a particle shader?

[zealous glen]

It has particles

But I’m thinking of making cards emit colored particles

I couldn’t find an easy illustration of what I want, but Hearthstone had them. These are more smoky than anything, but something like this https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BQRahXBNs9U

[regal wolf]

I feel like your best bet is to just use the love2d particle system?

[zealous glen]

It has like teal(?) particles coming from the card in the bottom right

[zealous glen]

Aren’t those the square ones Balatro uses?

[regal wolf]

You can customize it

[zealous glen]

Can you control the color of each pixel of the particle?

[languid mirage]

hm like these?

[zealous glen]

No

Look at the card in the corner

[tepid sky]

been trying to actually get my own sprite to show but:

[shell tangle]

What's your pos set to?

[tepid sky]

atlas:

[shell tangle]

That would access the second horizontal slot at the very top of your atlas, which I assume is empty.

[tepid sky]

i have no idea what that means :,)

[shell tangle]

Double checking, I saw the mvan prefix, did you actually read through the example joker mod and look at the atlas?

[tepid sky]

i read most of the text in the example

ooh

i see the pickture now

i litterally just put them on a row

[shell tangle]

Yeah.

[languid mirage]

?

[zealous glen]

Other corner 😭

[languid mirage]

?

[tepid sky]

i'll try to put them next to eachother tmr

[shell tangle]

You could maybe look at this post. https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1269501493690503192

[tepid sky]

ty for the tip!

i have no idea how to use that stuff but i'll worry about it tmr

[wary crescent]

When you make your first batch of Jokers in individual files then realize you have to learn how to combine them into one file ☠️

I was under the impression that I could just leave them separated but Nope! Back to the damn drawing board.

[edgy reef]

You just need to load them.

[tepid sky]

rip

[wary crescent]

I mean i want to publish/release the jokers (soon) but they currently load in multiple mod folders, they need to be combined into one file. Which means i have to reformat everything

I was under the impression i could just place them all in one folder and be done but lol nope

Not that simple

[tepid sky]

actually, i removed the "pos" and it actually showed

so i think imma keep it seperete picktures instead of one big sprite

[shell tangle]

I think you might be murdering the code from the sounds of what you've been doing, can you show the code?

[tepid sky]

xD

sure

[edgy reef]

When it’s not present it defaults to SMODS.Joker’s pos, which is {x=0, y=0}

[shell tangle]

Alright, it's a lot better, I was expecting a lot of remnants from the very outdated joker template.

[tepid sky]

hmm

[cedar flame]

you can use SMODS.load_file('folder/filename.lua')()

[tepid sky]

i did actually copy it from the steammodded

but i tought the template could help in some parts

but it being outdated just doesn't make it helpfull

[tepid sky]

hmm alrighty

[shell tangle]

Yeah, looks like it should be completely fine. I do think just having everything on the same atlas is a lot more convenient, otherwise you're going to have to make another atlas for each individual joker instead of just setting pos = {x = 1, y = 0} and so on, but it is up to you.

[tepid sky]

i'll look at how to make a atlas tmr, but i could technically make a new text file for all the atlases couldn't i? xD

but gtg now gn!

[wintry solar]

I'm not aware of whether you can apply a shader to a ui element or not, but would having a sprite in an object and applying the shader to that not work?

[languid mirage]

thats possible with shaders, but it would have to be screen shader, not like edition (if you want it to spread more around the card

tho I'm not that good yet to create smth like that

[spiral stirrup]

Is there a way for a Joker to detect when Wheel of Fortune properly activates? I know there's a using_consumeable context and I could probably check if Wheel is USED, but I specifically wanna check for when it's successful.

[lusty epoch]

No

Have to do a lovely patch I think

[spiral stirrup]

sadge </3

[mellow sable]

Or take ownership

[spiral stirrup]

oh, also, while I'm here
how do I force a Joker to use a specific shader, like Hologram has?
cuz when I put this at the bottom of my mod file, it works, but also seems to cause a bunch of small visual bugs, like all the Buy and Sell buttons being behind other cards

[zealous glen]

I thought shaders could draw outside of the card. I think that’s what I understood from what @wintry solar told me

[zealous glen]

It won’t help with your issue but use keys not names

Or is that like an Enhancement

I think it should probably still use keys but I’m not sure how they work quite yet

[edgy reef]

There really needs to be a draw function in SMODS

[regal wolf]

to do what?

[edgy reef]

So center have a more convenient way to draw shaders onto themselves like Invis Joker.

It should just be one lovely inject into the section that Invis Joker does it.

[spiral stirrup]

is there any roundabout way to do it anyway?

[regal wolf]

Of course

[edgy reef]

You can still just hook the function but unless you additionally specify when through the draw layer you risk visual glitches.

[spiral stirrup]

Alright, so how would I improve the code I posted above then?
Sorry if I'm asking too many questions or anythin', Lua is just still very new to me lol

[shell tangle]

Double checked the context stuff, apparently context.using_consumeable also sends the consumeable card itself as context.consumeable, so you could have if context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable.ability.name == "The Wheel of Fortune" then to check for the wheel.

[spiral stirrup]

That's not what I was asking about but I appreciate it

[regal wolf]

in future its better if u copy and paste the code in chat, it makes it easier for people to help. U can surround the code withto syntax highlight it

omg

[shell tangle]

Just remembered you asking this, though reading it again, does say properly activates, which I missed.

[spiral stirrup]

  function Card:draw(layer)
      local card_draw_ret_val = card_draw_ref(self)
      if self.ability.name == 'j_csil_undertaleswitch' then
          self.children.center:draw_shader('voucher', nil, self.ARGS.send_to_shader)
      end
      return card_draw_ret_val
  end```

like this?

[regal wolf]

you'll want to use lovely injection

[regal wolf]

yeah :D

[spiral stirrup]

let's gooo

[regal wolf]

but yeah you'll want to use lovely injection, so you can inject specifically into the right place inside the draw func

[spiral stirrup]

I've only done work within the actual SMODS classes, so I have never done any Lovely injection, is there a guide/tutorial for doing that

most of what I learned has been through using the search feature within this discord lol

[regal wolf]

nope

i'll write an example rq

[spiral stirrup]

alright I really appreciate it <3

[regal wolf]

# lovely.toml
[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
dump_lua = true
priority = 0

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "game.lua"
pattern = "if self.ability.name == 'Invisible Joker' and (self.config.center.discovered or self.bypass_discovery_center) then"
position = "before"
payload = '''
if self.ability.name == 'j_csil_undertaleswitch' then
  self.children.center:draw_shader('voucher', nil, self.ARGS.send_to_shader)
end
'''
match_indent = true
overwrite = false

[spiral stirrup]

ah thank you thank you!!
where would I put this exactly? Within my main script or do I need to make another script specifically for injections

[regal wolf]

seperate file called lovely.toml

[spiral stirrup]

did I do it right? it doesn't seem to be working

[regal wolf]

oh oopsie

j_csil_undertaleswitch should be the name of your joker

like "Invisible Joker"

[spiral stirrup]

hmmm that didn't seem to work either..

i'm confused because the code makes sense to my brain so i dunno what the issue would be

[regal wolf]

This worked right?

[spiral stirrup]

Yeah it did apply the voucher shader to the card, all things considered

[regal wolf]

Ok maybe I'm wrong with the switching to the name thing.

j_csil_undertaleswitch is probably correct. Although I'm not sure why invis is not j_invisible etc

if you remove the if statement does every card become shaded?

[spiral stirrup]

nope

if I change j_csil_undertaleswitch to any other joker that doesn't work either

so I assume it's just not actually being injected at all

[regal wolf]

Oh you can check if it's being injected through the console

unless you have other mods that inject stuff installed

in which case you'll have to go to your mod directory, locate lovely, go to dumps, card.lua and search for the code you injected.

[spiral stirrup]

yeah it's not showing up in the console and I don't see my code in the dump

however uhhh... is it supposed to inject to GAME.LUA and not CARD.LUA?

because I'm not seeing the og code we're supposed to be targeting in there

[nova mortar]

What is "juiced_up" method

[regal wolf]

oh my god sorry yeah

im tired 😭

[spiral stirrup]

YOU'RE GOOD LOL

Yeah changing it to card.lua fixed it thank you sgkhskg

[regal wolf]

0OSDNFA[IOSDNFOASDNF SORRY 😭

[spiral stirrup]

undertale is now real

[regal wolf]

YAY!!!

[spiral stirrup]

makes the cards do a funny wiggle

[nova mortar]

great, how do I make a mod that disables it

Because my game is crashing because god knows how some combination of mods managed to break the method nil

[spiral stirrup]

you can just Reduce Motion in settings, I don't think you need a mod for that

[nova mortar]

Alright let me try that

[tacit escarp]

why do moding channels dont show up by default for me in the server? stumbled via search, are there other hidden channels with cool stuff? havent used discord in a whiiile

[regal wolf]

maybe instead of breaking your game more, try fixing ur game 🥲 👍

[nova mortar]

And... nope that does not work

[maiden phoenix]

Love the Simpson one

https://tenor.com/view/homer-smile-simpsons-gif-11742885

[wintry solar]

what's on line 1465 of your common_events dump file?/

[nova mortar]

Where would that be?

[wintry solar]

Mods/lovely/dumps/functions

[wintry solar]

can you check the line?

[nova mortar]

function juice_card(card)
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
trigger = 'immediate',
func = (function() card:juice_up(0.7);return true end)
}))
end
Here's the range

[languid mirage]

they can, if it's a shader applied to entire canvas, it wont be an edition shader

if you just create edition shader that returns vec4(1., 0., 0., 1.) for every coordinate, you will see the limits of shaders applied to a sprite

[wintry solar]

looks like one of your mods is changing the function to one that crashes

[nova mortar]

That sounds... about right, yeah.
What mod do you think does that?

[regal wolf]

Anyone got a simple solution to wrapping text in UI elements?

I know you can use multiple lines in localization, but I don't think that works if the object isn't expect it.

[zealous glen]

Doesn’t Lua accept \n?

[regal wolf]

yeah but it looks weird due to the way balatro calculates text scaling

[wintry solar]

it'll be one that uses lovely, so your list to check through is bunco, lob corp, sdm_0's stuff, virtues and ceres. I'd probably start looking at virutes, I haven't seen any of the others cause this crash

[zealous glen]

Can’t you pass {s:number}?

[wintry solar]

I made a function to split the string roughly in half

[nova mortar]

Alright

[regal wolf]

can you?

[wintry solar]

yeah that'll chang ethe scale

[zealous glen]

I don’t know, may you?

[regal wolf]

There's definately a better way though

Because in other parts thunk's used multi-line loc-vars

[nova mortar]

Nope that crashes

[spiral stirrup]

the dud :)

[maiden phoenix]

Ah yes I'll make the game harder on myself

[spiral stirrup]

I also added a Challenge where you get an eternal one of these

because funny teehee

[wintry solar]

what did you do?

[nova mortar]

Play a Club

[wintry solar]

?

I said to look through the mods

and see which one is patching that function

[regal wolf]

{S:num} isnt working

[wintry solar]

lowercase s

[regal wolf]

does it work when passing it into loc like G.localization.misc.dictionary["x"] = x ?

[regal wolf]

yeah, I tried with both

[wintry solar]

this works for me

[regal wolf]

oh it might be different text bodies

I only see it working in descriptions

[wintry solar]

oh yeah

I'm not sure if misc dictionary gets parsed the same way

[nova mortar]

Disabled and checked all of them

still crashes

[wintry solar]

oh there's that random dek stake mod too

try that one

[nova mortar]

Nope

Might try to redownload lovely

The crash, very specifically, triggers when I play a Club card that is, itself, probably triggering something else

Oh well

Time to switch pcs

[wintry solar]

try to isolate which mod is causing it

[tacit escarp]

i have cryptid betmma and brainstorm

what other mods should i add?

[regal wolf]

depends what you want

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1274157879674409062 was requested by a lot of cryptid players

[regal wolf]

you also need talisman if you don't already have that for cryptid

[wintry solar]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1270516504470880357 Galdur is best mod 2024

[tacit escarp]

it came bundled with cryptid yeah

[cedar flame]

can second galdur, i need to look at doing more controller fixes but on mouse it's 10/10

[regal wolf]

I click on thread this is the first thing I see: 😭

[cedar flame]

it's fine :)

[regal wolf]

no i know, galdur is a great mod

and the ui design is v nice

[wintry solar]

you need to update it

that button does something now

[regal wolf]

its old image from aud i think

it was just first thing i saw when i clicked on the gald thread

[wintry solar]

ah I see

I need to get round to that controller support PR too

[cedar flame]

it's not super great yet, i need to make it so it doesn't focus empty zones still

and probably add a quick start bind to x button

i also wanna see if i can make it easier to navigate to the bottom row from the deck zone... right now you have to focus a deck on the right side and then go down in order to get to the play button

[wintry solar]

I haven't looked at any controller support at all tbf

can you disable certain elements from it?

[regal wolf]

I have to somehow figure out a way to make a nice looking ui for all of immolates filters for the brainstorm overhall

that's going to be fun

[regal wolf]

yes i think so

but u can do like "focus" something

[cedar flame]

you define specific focusable elements with the focus_args {} dictionary from what i've found, but the issue is i just stuck it in the builder so it applies to every slot even unpopulated

[regal wolf]

there's a lot of configuration u can do, controller support is pretty easy iirc

[cedar flame]

this is just what i found from trawling through the source code lol i'm still very inexperienced at this

[cedar flame]

if you have any suggestions on this i'd really appreciate it 😄 https://github.com/Eremel/Galdur/pull/3

i only started modding this game like this week so i'm still missing a lot of knowledge

[wintry solar]

yeah I got to all the args when I was trawling through to make a UI guide and just left them alone for now

[tacit escarp]

got it, looks nice allthough misses the previews of like 20% cryptid's decks

[cedar flame]

that's fair

you made it functional first which is smart

[wintry solar]

wait what, it shouldn't do

what version of cryptid are you using?

oh I fixed that in a different place 🙃

there we go, if you download from source it'll have cryptid compat fixed

[tacit escarp]

eeeh its weird it scrolls only if you hold the button for about .7 seconds and does so rapidly, no reaciton if you just tap the arrow kays

keys*

as well as crashes the whole game if arrow is held when you have 0 consumables

[regal wolf]

There is reaction if you tap the arrow keys

[regal wolf]

This doesn't happen to me, perhaps it's a mod compat issue.

I'll take a look at some point.

[tacit escarp]

yeah me being on macos could be the reason, quite likely

[tacit escarp]

wow it actually works now

this is crazy

like this has to be the quickest bugfix at least in balatro history

6 minutes from the bugreport (without even tagging the dev) to the fix being up on github

[nova mortar]

I don't think it's a Lovely bug

Oh well

Time to fully delete everything and full redownload everything

[wintry solar]

you could try updating smods

[wintry solar]

but I don't think that function was changed

[nova mortar]

Some 40-50 times

[wintry solar]

I just had to move a patch from my local copy of cryptid to galdur, surprised noone ever mentioned it before

[nova mortar]

this is not the first game I've bandage fixed to death and back

[tacit escarp]

i have a talent to break things within minutes of interacting with them so yeah my bad

[static juniper]

Is there a way to have a Joker that requires you to have a certain type of card, like Stone, Glass, and Lucky Cat do? It's probably in the source code, but I have no clue where to look

[unkempt ridge]

Working on these two bad boys
Wanted to share the art

[mellow sable]

this has no right to look this good

[tepid sky]

alr, so a atlas is 71 pixels high and 95 pixels wide?

just a question, do i need to resize it for the 2x?

[unkempt ridge]

you need the 2x version and the 1x version

[tepid sky]

alr

[tepid sky]

ok ok, i am getting the hang of this!

:D

[frosty dock]

if you want your card in landscape orientation, sure

normally it's the other way around

[tepid sky]

i think i went the wrong way in that message

giving my self a headace trying to read my own messages

[tepid sky]

a question: does the y axis count from top down or from down up?

[frosty dock]

should be top down

[long gust]

I think top down

[tepid sky]

alr nice!

and 0 is the top row?

[frosty dock]

yeah

[tepid sky]

alr, it feels weird but sure :) thanks

[opal spade]

y being top down is normal for 2d games from my experience

[tepid sky]

i know but it feels wrong that 0 is the first line, thats what i ment

[crisp coral]

yea it's 0-indexed

[opal spade]

0 being the first is normal

it actually caught me off guard when it wasn't for balatro stuff (ig it's a lua thing)

[long gust]

it is reading order

[crisp coral]

yeah lua is 1-indexed because fuck you i guess

[maiden phoenix]

Yea screw Lua for that

[tepid sky]

uh oh

[maiden phoenix]

Did you put your x1 sprites in the x2 folders?

[languid mirage]

1 index is good wym 😭

[maiden phoenix]

Who hurt you?

[languid mirage]

0 index literally only exists because C arrays

[maiden phoenix]

If you're being held at gunpoint, blink twice.... wait

[languid mirage]

1 index is the most natural thing

do you call FIRST element of the array ZEROETH

y'all only think 0 index is good because you're used to it
when you were just starting out, it was confusing

[crisp coral]

it was not confusing to me

[tepid sky]

yeatho i am not sure if i put them into the right folder? imma switch them and have a look

[maiden phoenix]

What an argument

[opal spade]

0 index is cool

but 1 index is pretty handy

[tepid sky]

the 1x and the 2x were right-

[frosty dock]

me when I can't 0[array]

[languid mirage]

it is an argument

[crisp coral]

TRUE

[languid mirage]

it is a layer of mental overhead you need to keep

[tepid sky]

dangit, now i fr broke my own mod 💀

[crisp coral]

i'm already used to for (int i = 0; i++; i <= n)

[languid mirage]

C arrays are only like that because index is not an index in its natural meaning, it's an offset

[frosty dock]

both are just conventions, we should establish negative 1-indexed arrays instead

[languid mirage]

i < n

[crisp coral]

hush

[frosty dock]

://OFFBYONE

[crisp coral]

i refuse to fix my mistake

at least on mobile

[frosty dock]

surely you actually just wanted to do n+1 iterations

by design™️

[tepid sky]

anyone that know why this happens?

nvm, i doubled the values and got this

i'll try to halve the original value

it worked?? kinda?

[primal robin]

What I need to pass to SMODS.save_mod_config() to make it work? I'm passing SMODS.current_mod, but looks like it did nothing

[frosty dock]

when are you calling it and for what reason?

SMODS.current_mod only exists while the mod first loads. if you want to refer to it later, you need to save it in a variable or use your mod ID

[primal robin]

Already saved

[frosty dock]

that should work then

wdym by "looks like it did nothing"

[primal robin]

Because after restart config table is empty

[frosty dock]

then you might not be using it correctly, i need more context

are you looking at mod.config or SETTINGS.current?

[primal robin]

mod.config and SETTINGS.current is the same object

[frosty dock]

hm alright

is there a file named like your mod ID in the config folder in the save directory (not mods folder)?

[primal robin]

Yes

And it's not empty

[frosty dock]

when is that init settings function called?

[primal robin]

Inside SMODS.INIT.TwitchBlinds()

[frosty dock]

...

why do you have that

[primal robin]

Idk tbh

All my mod init in this stage

[frosty dock]

init functions are a remnant of steamodded 0.9.8 and your code will run through a compatibility layer if you're still using it

don't

mod config is not supported by that compat layer because it didn't exist in 0.9.8 (specifically it assumes there is no config file to load, and if it does exist, it doesn't comply with the required format)

just put the code directly in your mod file

[primal robin]

This thing removed. Still config table is empty. Steamodded 1.0.0-APLHA-0720c

[frosty dock]

i don't provide support for that version

it is a full month outdated

[primal robin]

So i need to update?

[frosty dock]

update first, then if the issue persists we can talk

[primal robin]

Okay

Steamodded 1.0.0-APLHA-0820b works fine. Thanks you!

[frosty dock]

👍

[tepid sky]

-.-

anyone got the version.dll?

my windows defender got rid of it again

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started#about-anti-virus-issues

follow this to make sure it's protected, then reinstall lovely off github

[tepid sky]

reinstall both?

[frosty dock]

just follow the instructions in that section and reinstall lovely

[tepid sky]

i got it back :>

ty

[tepid sky]

btw, anyone know how to fix this?

[shell tangle]

This is just incorrectly sized sprites. Each sprite in the 1x folder should be in a 71 by 95 pixel space, while in the 2x, they should be double that, each card should take up a 142 by 190 space.

[tepid sky]

I did that but i wanted to add more space so i doubled the sprite size and added extra jokers inside

[shell tangle]

Did you double the actual image itself, or something in the code?

[tepid sky]

Nope

[shell tangle]

Your code should stay at 71 by 95, and your .png should be increased by a multiple of that. If you have 5 jokers, you multiply the 71 by 5 for 5 per row, and if you want more colums, you multiply the 91, so a (71x5) by (91x3) atlas would give you a 5 by 3 grid of jokers, or 15 sprites.

[tepid sky]

I actually kept the code the same, but the sprite i made bigger like this, top left is original and by doubling the size the red erea got added, which wouldn't matter cuz using the x and y

[shell tangle]

Can you send the .png?

[tepid sky]

Yea gimme a second

1x

[shell tangle]

That needs to be doubled again for 1x.

If this is supposed to be a 4 by 4 grid, take 71, multiply it by 4, that's your width, and your height is 95 multiplied by 4 as well.

[tepid sky]

hmm ok, will do!

[shell tangle]

Then, for 2x, you double those values.

[tepid sky]

alrighties

thanks!

it worked :o nice!

:>

all cards finally show normally now xD

now to add functionallaty :D

[tacit escarp]

why do i have -2 joker slots on a negative deck? literally every single joker is negative but i cant even buy any more of them

cryptid and betmma mods; is that a known bug / interaction? i have NO idea what caused this

[tacit escarp]

you guys are EVIL

[tepid sky]

;-;

[crisp coral]

oops your lovely crashed!!

also, #1219749193204371456, not here

[tacit escarp]

i solved this issue by going on an adventure and exploiting the very fabric of reality to obtain infinite wealth then reroll for unlimited antimatter. maybe the problems you have are your blessings after all...

[frosty dock]

debuffed negatives cease to add joker slots

[wintry solar]

If you debuff an already negative joker does it mess up too?

[tacit escarp]

what mod uncaps temperance value?

asking for a friend

[mellow sable]

Could do with selling something like a negative joker after increasing its value somehow

[spiral stirrup]

gatito

[maiden phoenix]

Usually negative and joker have their first letter capitalized, also maybe put "negative joker" on a third line, looks a bit funky. It's an original effect tho.

[primal robin]

Also most of the time only keyword highligted, without "Joker" word

[spiral stirrup]

oops, for some reason I thought they were uncapitalized but I guess I misread localization </3

also is there a way to make a Joker as "compatible" with blueprint? because it functionally works with blueprint, but the tooltip for Blueprint still says "uncompatible"

[regal wolf]

yes, there's a little flag in the joker object

[primal robin]

"little flag"
Property

[regal wolf]

they know what i mean lol

[maiden phoenix]

blueprint_compat = true to your Joker object

[spiral stirrup]

Bless

[maiden phoenix]

This apply to perishable and eternal too, tho they default to true unlike blueprint

[spiral stirrup]

why is it that my custom jokers are appearing in shop when I have them in my hand without Showman?

[languid mirage]

I think that happens if you spawned in the joker?

[spiral stirrup]

oh that makes sense because I did lol

Didn't realize shop checks if it's bought instead of spawn

I thought it would just check current hand

[languid mirage]

I was just thinking back and realised that what I said is wrong
because the game already draws the base layer, it is possible to draw beyond the base card by using vertex shader to scale up the "canvas" for the fragment shader

I dunno why I didn't think of that yesterday 😭

I was just thinking of how the game draws shadow, and it's basically the same, but before the base layer, not after

[static juniper]

Is there a way to have a changing suit in a Joker, like Castle and Ancient Joker?

[shell tangle]

Yeah, you can either have it as a variable in your joker, or make a new function like the two that change castle and ancient joker for your joker.

It's called reset_castle_card in game.lua, or ancient/mail/idol instead of castle, and called in state_events.lua or game.lua, so you'd need 2 Lovely patches/hooks to make sure it's called.

If you wanna go the variable in joker route, you could take a look at my mod for an example, https://github.com/someone23832/Virtues/blob/main/Virtues.lua,
Decadence, at the very bottom, takes the 4 base suits in a variable list, and shuffles them around into an order upon being picked up, which it then repeats that pattern for the rest of the run.
Won't guarantee it's the best example, but it's the only example I know of at the moment.

[shell tangle]

Using this to ping since it's been a little bit since you asked the question.

[static juniper]

Taking this one step at a time, how do you get the {V:1} thing to work?

[shell tangle]

The V stands for variable, which it takes a color that's passed from colours = {} in the loc_vars. Mine basically gives the color G.C.SUITS["Spades"], with the string being the variable that changes.

[static juniper]

Thanks, after I changed that everything else fell into place pretty easily afterwards!

[shell tangle]

Good to hear.

[static juniper]

Unrelated, whenever I try to use the Sigil Spectral card, this error message happens. I don't know what's causing it, but is this a common occurrence with an easy fix?

[shell tangle]

Possibly try updating steamodded?

[static juniper]

I'm on 1.0.0 Alpha, is that not the latest version?

[shell tangle]

You're on 0806a, which means you're on a version that was made August 6th. There's updates nearly daily, and there's been a few separate updates even today. It's the nature of being in alpha.

[static juniper]

Updated to the newest version, now gotta find another Sigil card...

Probably won't be for a while

[shell tangle]

You could use DebugPlus.

[static juniper]

Is there a way to spawn a Spectral card with the Debug Menu?

I thought it was just Jokers

[shell tangle]

You can spawn most things with DebugPlus specifically, it's a mod that adds a ton of extra debug features. Here's both the discord and github so that you don't have to search.
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664
https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/tree/master

[static juniper]

Omg this is gonna be so useful

[static juniper]

I'm on the newest patch, and pressing the Card Colours button in Options crashes the game

[shell tangle]

That button shouldn't still exist, did you just replace the Steamodded files, or did you delete the old ones before copying over?

[static juniper]

I replaced them

[shell tangle]

Try deleting and copying the new one. Also, the debug menu mod probably isn't necessary if you've switched over to DebugPlus.

[static juniper]

I mean, I'm not gonna use that button anyway (I pressed it on accident), so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

[shell tangle]

There's a pretty large chance of you running into other unexplainable bugs if you don't delete before replacing, though.

[static juniper]

...Fine

[shell tangle]

Yeah, dev can be a hassle at times, but there's not much to be done about it often.

[static juniper]

Random other question: Is there a way to restart the game from within the game? On the previous patch, checking and unchecking my mod and then pressing back would always restart the game, but that doesn't seem to work anymore

[shell tangle]

I think you might be able to hold Q?

[static juniper]

Doesn't seem to work

[shell tangle]

Yeah, did have a thought that it may have been taken out.

I don't think there's an easy way, but don't quote me on that, because there might be, and I just haven't found it either.

[frosty dock]

you can hold M

[tepid sky]

hmm nice, i didn't know

_<

[opal spade]

?

[tepid sky]

🤷‍♂️

[opal spade]

Are you trying to return locvars?

[tepid sky]

i don't even know what i am doing, just trying to add fusion to my mod

[languid mirage]

smods jokers is a 0.9.8 thing? I see it is only a part of 0.9.8 compat in steamodded, and in 1.0.0 SMODS.Centers should be used

but also if tophalf is a joker key, it's missing the mod prefix

for it to be a proper key

[tepid sky]

so: SMODS.Centers.tophalf?

also what is a mod prefix?

sorry if i am asking very stupid things

[languid mirage]

easiest way to see it is look console when game starts up

oh wait that got removed

uhm

if you didn't set it anywhere, it's just first 4 letters of your mod name

[tepid sky]

hmm ok

[languid mirage]

also key should be fully lowercase

[tepid sky]

this is good right?

[languid mirage]

yeah

[tepid sky]

alr

[languid mirage]

not really what I meant tho

I meant that for SMODS.Centers.<key>.

so key would be mini_tophalf

or if that doesn't work j_mini_tophalf

[tepid sky]

alr, will change this rq

like this>

[languid mirage]

huh no

what are you trying to do

are you adding a new joker

or are you trying to edit existing one

[tepid sky]

rn

[languid mirage]

because I thought it was the latter

[tepid sky]

right now i have 4 jokers, (4 shards) which i want to be able to fuse together into 2 parts, a top half and a bottom half, and those 2 i want to be able to fuse together into a fragile joker (the final fuse)

[languid mirage]

yea and what are you trying to do right now?

[tepid sky]

i am trying to get shard 1 + 2 to be fusable into the top half

same with the bottom half but then shards 3 and 4 will be used

[languid mirage]

so how is loc_def related to that? 🤔

[languid mirage]

or this

[tepid sky]

that one i tought i had to change it to work better with 1.0.0

[languid mirage]

are you making a mod for 1.0.0?

or 0.9.8

[tepid sky]

1.0.0

[languid mirage]

huh

[tepid sky]

but i might also be making it for 0.9.8 idk 🤷‍♂️ i am just trying to make my first mod

i am using the fusion code from jestobiology

since i got the tip to look how they did it

[languid mirage]

I have no clue how that works, but seems like the code you have is for 0.9.8

[tepid sky]

ok then i am making it for 0.9.8 ig, tho i am on 1.0.0, maybe thats why its not working?

[languid mirage]

well I'm not sure why are you defining calculate function outside the joker definition?

I have to go, and since I'm not familiar with fusions mod I can't really help you

[tepid sky]

alr, cya

thanks for the help :)

[wintry solar]

I don’t think fusion has been updated yet

[tepid sky]

not to 0.9.8?

maybe thats why i get a crash everytime 🤔

[wintry solar]

You’re using 1.0 aren’t you?

[opal spade]

they are

[opal spade]

^

[tepid sky]

yea :/

[wintry solar]

then I'd suggest basing your code off 1.0 mods, not 0.9.8 mods, your code is a mess

[tepid sky]

i know 😭

i just am learning while trying to make this thing work

[tacit escarp]

helloo

[tepid sky]

hi!

[languid mirage]

start with something simple like just adding your jokers in the game, then think about fusions and such

[tepid sky]

thats what i was thinking, i just added all jokers in, with config to enable and disable certain parts and it seems to be working 👍

i did disable the halves for now

since there is no use without fusion

also made settings, but they don't do anything yet- (ty talisman)

[mellow sable]

My favorite spectral card, Mini-Rebellion

[languid mirage]

if you're using steamodded, you should just use steamodded config menu

[wintry solar]

^

[mellow sable]

The only reason I even have a menu like this is because some of my mods are lovely mods

[wintry solar]

I think @rough furnace was working on lovely mods being able to have steamodded configs, right?

[tepid sky]

hmm yea ok-

[opal spade]

i have a similar thing in the upcoming version of archipelago, but its a button that redirects to smods' configs from the "connect to server" screen

[languid mirage]

https://github.com/jenwalter666/JensBalatroCollection/blob/main/Incantation/config.lua

https://github.com/jenwalter666/JensBalatroCollection/blob/main/Incantation/Incantation.lua

and
https://github.com/jenwalter666/JensBalatroCollection/blob/main/Incantation/localization/default.lua

[tepid sky]

thanks!

[mellow sable]

Yeah, but I didn’t want a Steamodded dependency for some

[opal spade]

tbh config menu + custom tabs seem like a thing that should have an example mod

[wintry solar]

it could be adaptive!

[tepid sky]

and i assume is that vanilla is disabling everything?

[languid mirage]

no...

you put whatever settings you need

VanillaMode is an example

because it is used in the Incantation mod

[tepid sky]

hmm okeys

[languid mirage]

you have your own settings, that should be added to the config.lua

[languid mirage]

and to access those settings you use the config variable ^

[wintry solar]

what do you want in your config?

[tepid sky]

me?

[wintry solar]

yes

[tepid sky]

idk, iguess everything?

[wintry solar]

what?

[tepid sky]

i.. don't know?

[wintry solar]

I'm just trying to work out why you're adding a config

What do you need to configure?

[tepid sky]

i want to enable and disable certain features :>

[opal spade]

which features

[tepid sky]

rn its just the jokers

[wintry solar]

I wouldn't worry about adding a config at this stage then

[tepid sky]

ok

i think i'll brainstorm about the abilities of my jokers for now :)

[zealous glen]

Hmmm… do you know how to do that?

[brisk pond]

how does one make new stakes?

[wintry solar]

You can look at the SMODS.Stake in game_object.lua to see what parameters it needs

[brisk pond]

thanks ❤️

[wintry solar]

if you have any questions, give me a shout

[languid mirage]

well that part is pretty simple yeah

you just.. increase this

[rough furnace]

Yeah I've been messing around but haven't made much progress yet due to being busy with work and stuff

But if you want to take it for a spin my wip code is here https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/blob/dev/smods.lua

Basically you can disbake smods default conifg handling, have it load a page and handle saving yourself.

That page should also be able to be put into the games config

Oh I was also messing with making talisman work with smkds config. It had some weird behaviour, which is why I didn't make a PR, but just overriding smods confiy save and load like I do in DebugPlus should make it work

https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Talisman/compare/main...WilsontheWolf:Talisman:main

[brisk pond]

there is no documentation for seals in steamodded yet, right?

[wintry solar]

No there’s not

But again, I’m happy to answer any questions you have about them

[brisk pond]

ok here's the question

I'd like to add a new seal into the game, I saw the SMODS.Seal function inside game_object.lua but it isn't showed how to use it (like for other functions that re-add the vanilla objects (like SMODS.Suit))

here I stand corrected by the example_mods

I withdraw my question with shame

[restive osprey]

I've decided to have the stupid idea of turning balatro into a text based python game
It won't have seeds because seeds are hard but it'll let me test my stupid mod ideas I constantly come up with without having to figure out the mod install (it'll also let me play shitty balatro in class)

[tepid sky]

;-;

[unkempt ridge]

Is there a way to get the most played poker hand with a single function? We noticed there's G.GAME.current_round.most_played_poker_hand, but that always sends back High Card instead of anything else, even after playing a few flushes.
Also hoping for the inverse too, of the least played poker hand (although we guess that'll be with like, a for loop somehow...)
Tips?

[restive osprey]

Currently all I've done is made some progress on the class that holds the values for the different playing cards
I use a list to hold each variable, which is
[Number/value, suit, face card check, ace check, chips, mult, xmult, enhancement, edition, seal, debuff checker, displayed text]
Anything I'm missing?

[primal robin]

-- Find true most played hand and display it
local _handname, _played, _order = 'High Card', -1, 100
for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    if v.played > _played or (v.played == _played and _order > v.order) then
        _played = v.played
        _handname = k
    end
end

Taken directly from the game

[unkempt ridge]

Thank you!!! Will implement this when we can :)
Was this in game.lua?

[restive osprey]

Does anyone have something that can tell me how the seeds in balatro work? I'm genuinely curious

[primal robin]

Yes, somewhere xd
But if no hands played, it returns 4oak instead of high card

Idk why

[wintry solar]

because it priotises order if the values are equal

[zealous glen]

Oh Steamodded supports seals @wintry solar ?

[wintry solar]

yeah

I think it supports everything now

[zealous glen]

Since when?

[wintry solar]

edition calc is still jank though

I think boosters was the last addition

but I could be wrong

[zealous glen]

Oh I thought Seals were broken before Boosters

[wintry solar]

oh maybe the got fixed after that

they definitely work though

balloons are seal objects

[tepid sky]

:OOO

:D

[zealous glen]

Do you have a simple seal I can reference? I was thinking of implementing an effect as an Enhancement but figured as a Seal it would maybe be more useful

[wintry solar]

SMODS.Seal({
    key = "red_balloon",
    atlas = "balloons",
    balloon = true,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    badge_colour = HEX("E31414"),
    sound = {sound = 'balloon_inflate', per = 1.2, vol = 0.4},
    weight = 0,
    config = {extra = {balloon_mult = 4, chance_to_float_away = 4}, spawn_key = "c_balloon_red_balloon"},
    loc_txt = {},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {self.config.extra.balloon_mult * Balloons.modifiers.values, G.GAME.probabilities.normal * Balloons.modifiers.num, self.config.extra.chance_to_float_away * Balloons.modifiers.denom}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.repetition and not context.individual then
            return {
                message = localize({type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = {self.config.extra.balloon_mult * Balloons.modifiers.values}}),
                mult = self.config.extra.balloon_mult * Balloons.modifiers.values,
                colour = G.C.MULT,
                func = check_floated_away(self, card)
            }
        end
    end
})

there's some extra stuff in here that's not relevant

but the important stuff is here

oh it supports in_pool to

[cedar flame]

they're internally called balloons in the base game? that's hilarious

[wintry solar]

no this is from my balloons mod

[cedar flame]

OH lol ignore me

i see now

[zealous glen]

I realized one of the effects I had in mind since the demo is a bit superfluous now

It was a Burnt Enhancement, based on the old Burnt Joker, which would give discarded cards a chance to generate a Tarot

But that’s like a worse Purple Seal

There’s still benefits to having it but I don’t think enough

The effect I think would work better as a Seal than as an Enhancement is one that creates a temporary copy of a scored card in your hand.

The demo had Gold Seals with a similar effect—keeping the card in your hand—but they were largely considered really bad because it was too difficult to obtain them at all

[zealous glen]

I really want to use the Burnt Enhancement but I’m not sure what to do with it

[zealous glen]

Vouchers? Tags?

[wintry solar]

yeah

[zealous glen]

TIL

[cedar flame]

it's just not written up on the wiki yet, iirc they're getting close to official alpha/beta releases being put out instead of just rolling main branch updates

[bitter sand]

hello, how do i make a custom booster please ?

[zealous glen]

If it’s not in the wiki try finding a mod with custom boosters

or ask @wintry solar

[wintry solar]

I havent done any booster stuff

but generally I recommend looking through game_object to get an idea of what you need to include, and also look at mods with them in

[bitter sand]

okay thx

[tepid sky]

is there a mod that adds more features to test things?

like i can open a tarrot pack on command?

or add seals to a spesific card/joker?

[crisp elbow]

closest thing I think is debug+

[tepid sky]

thanks!

[tepid sky]

i do have quite the fhew questions like how do i add my own enhancement?

and how do i check if a glass card got shattered or not?

[languid mirage]

look at glass joker in source code

[tepid sky]

i may have found it?

[royal ridge]

glass joker is bugged tho 😭

[tepid sky]

rip

[royal ridge]

more specifically, the context.remove_playing_cards portion of it is bugged

doesn't actually do anything for some reason

[royal ridge]

^ this part is fine

[tepid sky]

alr! thanks :D

[tepid sky]

it appears it is not fine?

i cannot just replace: if context.before and next(context.poker_hands['Pair']) with if G.hand.highlighted[i].ability.name == 'glass card'

then it is a nil value?

[languid mirage]

you still need to check the context

[languid mirage]

[tepid sky]

wait did i write that right? i want the joker to scale when glass breaks

[opal spade]

isnt that glass joker

[tepid sky]

iguess so yea

[tacit escarp]

guys please

[tepid sky]

?

[tepid sky]

my brain cannot wrap around alla this ._.

isn't there a template or sum 👉 👈

[opal spade]

?

[paper hare]

Can someone help me figure out how to overwrite descriptions for Jokers, Consumables, or other items in the game? I got a error when I tried to do that.
(see #1276085451530174484 )
Error: functions/misc_functions.lua.1872: bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got nil)

[shell tangle]

Odd question, would it be possible to take ownership of a single playing card rank/suit? Something like taking ownership of H_4 through SMODS.Centers, maybe?

[wary crescent]

Ok, so i have all of my Jokers coded and I just touched up the last of my artwork. Six Jokers coded and drawn! Now i just need to figure out how to organize everything into one folder so i can release it soon. Holy Christ this process has been consuming, fun, but consuming. Anyways, all of my jokers are stored in individual files, I need to get them all together but seeing as to how other mods store their Jokers together is honestly a bit confusing.

Is there a way i can leave all my files separated?

[frosty dock]

single files for each joker sounds a bit excessive, if there's grouping I usually see it done into some kind of categories

you can use SMODS.load_file to load any files you need, however you decide to split things

for an example of dynamic file loading (as in all files in a certain folder in your mod), you could look at cryptid (Cryptid.lua, starting at line 394)

[wary crescent]

The way other mods handle its files vary so much, so it is making understanding what i can/need to do as a first time modder, a bit tougher.

Ty for that suggestion! I'll take a look at Cryptid

I also should probably avoid using a spritesheet, i have a joker that is 81x135 so I'm not sure how i would go about using a spritesheet with that one.

[regal wolf]

The way other mods handle its files vary so much, so it is making understanding what i can/need to do as a first time modder, a bit tougher.
My advice is don't worry about what other people do. Everyone has their own style guidelines and formatting rules.

A lot of people are winging it haha, and a lot of their decisions on structure, method, etc are all due to the specific requirements of their project.

[cedar flame]

anyone know how to take ownership of the vanilla seals with SMODS.Seal:take_ownership()? no matter what key i provide it says that the object doesn't exist so i can't take ownership of it

i've tried red, red_seal, s_red, s_red_seal, Red, Red_seal, s_Red, and s_Red_seal

[zealous glen]

If you want I can show you how I have mine organized

I have one file for each Joker and other objects

Though hooks tend to be together

Lovely injections are a bit sketchy but still

[wary crescent]

Yeah, for sure, any chance i have to learn about this more, im down 🙂
