[drowsy tulip]

ye

[tepid crow]

yeah pretty sure it doesn't exist

[drowsy tulip]

wait

i think i get it

[zealous glen]

@wintry solar how's the texture mod going

[wintry solar]

Haven’t done much work on it recently, it currently words for just jokers with the priority system we were discussing. I’ve been figuring out what I want the selection UI to look like, that’s my next step before extending it across other objects

[tepid sky]

texture mod?

[zealous glen]

I have commented it before but I think you can take inspiration from Minecraft's UI. Maybe Balatro-ify it by making it into a CardArea where you can organize Cards that represent the textures

[wintry solar]

Yeah that’s what I’m doing just workshopping some different layouts

[solid salmon]

wait does apply_to_run exist

[wintry solar]

yes

[tepid crow]

It exists for decks yes

[solid salmon]

look at this abomination that i've made (only half of it works)

[zealous glen]

wrong syntax

Actually, despite the confusing way of writing, I think the syntax might be correct

Even if it doesn't seem to make sense

[solid salmon]

i just want more cards

also i checked the back lua

function Back:apply_to_run()

[wintry solar]

no this is horrendously written

[maiden phoenix]

Holy shit..

[solid salmon]

I have never made a back before

[zealous glen]

I was just commenting on the syntax because I thought the number of ends didn't match, but on second look I think they are correct in number

but the semantics…

[solid salmon]

Imma look over some more code

[regal wolf]

please for the love of god

also, too many ends

[tepid crow]

one of those ends is to close apply_to_run

like Victin said, syntax seems correct, even if the code doesn't

[regal wolf]

oh god

i didnt even notice that

please get a formatter 😭

[tepid crow]

^ yeah please get one

[solid salmon]

what do you recommend

[regal wolf]

Name: StyLua
Id: JohnnyMorganz.stylua
Description: A Lua code formatter
Version: 1.6.3
Publisher: JohnnyMorganz
VS Marketplace Link: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JohnnyMorganz.stylua

and just paste this file into the root of project directory

[solid salmon]

the what

[regal wolf]

the base

yk like

<mod_directory>/<mod_files>

for example:

also make a folder called .vscode and place this file inside of it.

that way the formatter will run on save.

[tepid crow]

tab size of 2???

[regal wolf]

spaces

[tepid crow]

yes yes

tabs into 2 spaces??

[regal wolf]

not sure if "editor.tabSize": 2, is even doing anything

bc it gets overwritten

[tepid crow]

I mean, consistently 2 spaces is better than inconsistent at least

[edgy reef]

I think that's controlled by VSCode yea

[regal wolf]

spaces >> tabs. space size 2, google formatting is best.

[edgy reef]

I go between 2-4 spaces per tabs depending on if it's filled with Thunk UI nonsense or not.

[solid salmon]

...

[regal wolf]

it's just more compact than 4

[tepid crow]

sure

I've just always been used to 4

[regal wolf]

yeah i mean fair

i used to use 4 as well

[tepid crow]

Thunk is fancy, sometimes he uses 4 and sometimes he uses 2

[regal wolf]

as long as it's space , doesnt really matter

[regal wolf]

I know 😭

[solid salmon]

..why exactly do i need a formattor?

[tepid crow]

so this #💻・modding-dev message formatting doesn't happen again

[regal wolf]

makes it easier to read code. Makes it easier to maintain code. makes it easier to debug code.

makes it easier to get help from people.

[tepid crow]

makes a LOT easier for other people to read your code

[regal wolf]

makes it easier to understand code.

[solid salmon]

ok

but im am confused

as in how to set it up

[regal wolf]

with what

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JohnnyMorganz.stylua

[solid salmon]

like i downloaded it

[regal wolf]

download this extension

restart ur vsc

[solid salmon]

ok

[regal wolf]

and add this into ur project

[regal wolf]

then do this, for on save formatting.

unless u want to manually run format it every time

[solid salmon]

where exactly?

[regal wolf]

the root directory

for example

the mod directory/ur mod name/

where ur code is basically

[solid salmon]

oh

so other deck/jokers/tarots/enhancements/packs/vouchers

[regal wolf]

i have no idea what ur code looks like

so i dont know

[solid salmon]

So

Othermod the file

[plain wyvern]

print debugging is for noobs. we crash the game on purpose in here

[edgy reef]

error():

[plain wyvern]

[mellow sable]

I gotta add this to Cryptid at some point lmao

[regal wolf]

LOL

[regal wolf]

xD

[mellow sable]

Some of the code is formatted SO BADLY

[edgy reef]

The Misc.lua file is a mess

I'll likely not use for my project because I already ingrained good formatting practices.

and none of the mods are collabs so nobody has a reason to look under the hood.

🤫

[mellow sable]

Ankh is formatted even worse

But that works to its benefit

[edgy reef]

The create_UIBox_options hook that literally has no tabs or spacing whatsoever:

[plain wyvern]

my editor auto-formats tabs and stuff

though my indenting is all tabs which may be debatable

[solid salmon]

also

how do i make a deck not crash

in galdur

[regal wolf]

😭

[wintry solar]

give it a proper localization

[solid salmon]

what the hell

i can't read that

good news

it now comprends the fact that it's supposed to boost packs

bad news

it crashes

[hardy viper]

mod creator forgot what a line break was

[solid salmon]

huh

[hardy viper]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline

[solid salmon]

i forgot to put a comma

also what is this

[regal wolf]

I’m dead

[regal wolf]

Bro maybe u need to read up about like computers 😭 u didn’t know what the root directory was before 😭

[hardy viper]

pasting wikipedia articles with no explanation is my favorite flavor of passive aggressiveness

[crisp elbow]

Common ai goku l

[regal wolf]

😭💀

[placid frigate]

yeah i don't know what I did but it works now i guese

[tepid crow]

I made a modified version of tprint because I got so fed up with it just not "printing" stuff that wasn't a table

so now I can always do sendDebugMessage("var = " .. tprint(var)) regardless of the type 😌

[hardy viper]

doesnt steamodded have something for that

[tepid crow]

does it??

[hardy viper]

swear i heard someone say it does

[wintry solar]

inspect_depth or something iirc

it should be in utils.lua

[tepid crow]

if type(table) ~= 'table' then
return "Not a table"
hmmm, not exactly what I need lmao

[hardy viper]

why would you run inspect_depth on something thats not a table though

[tepid crow]

sometimes I just need it to print

I could also use tostring but then I can't read table output

[hardy viper]

even then, you can just do like

tprint = function(thing)
  if type(thing) == "table" then
    print(inspect_depth(thing, 10))
  else
    print(type(thing)..", "tostring(thing))
end

i think jenlib has something similar that doesnt require a depth input and just doesnt repeat recurring tables

[tepid crow]

... Yes thats basically what my tprint is?

[hardy viper]

i thought you didnt know about steamoddeds inspectdepth...?

[tepid crow]

Oh. No, I didnt

it's basically just inspect_depth but with custom depth

here it is, if you care

local function tprint(tbl, max_indent, _indent)
    if type(tbl) ~= "table" then return tostring(tbl) end
    if not _indent then _indent = 0 end
    if not max_indent then max_indent = 32 end
    local toprint = string.rep(" ", _indent) .. "{\r\n"
    _indent = _indent + 2
    for k, v in pairs(tbl) do
        toprint = toprint .. string.rep(" ", _indent)
        if (type(k) == "number") then
            toprint = toprint .. "[" .. k .. "] = "
        elseif (type(k) == "string") then
            toprint = toprint .. k .. "= "
        end
        if (type(v) == "string") then
            if k == "content" then
                toprint = toprint .. "...,\r\n"
            else
                toprint = toprint .. "\"" .. v .. "\",\r\n"
            end
        elseif (type(v) == "table") then
            if _indent > max_indent then
                toprint = toprint .. tostring(v) .. ",\r\n"
            else
                toprint = toprint .. tostring(v) .. tprint(v, max_indent, _indent + 1) .. ",\r\n"
            end
        else
            toprint = toprint .. tostring(v) .. ",\r\n"
        end
    end
    toprint = toprint .. string.rep(" ", _indent - 2) .. "}"
    return toprint
end

also removes the "content" key for some reason

I think that just reprinted my entire mod's code again

[regal wolf]

There is definitely a better way of writing this 😭

[rustic flint]

i added a joker!!!

now its time to figure out how to do uh

literally everything else 😭

[rustic flint]

how does one test a joker they've made

without like going into a game and trying to find it

[rough furnace]

DebugPlus

Can spawn jokers from the collection by pressing 3 and has a bunch of other stuff for testing stuff

[rustic flint]

ah ty!!!!!

[mellow sable]

probably the most cursed bug I've encountered so far modding this game

[rustic flint]

😦

[long gust]

infinite ranks mod?

[sleek badge]

That’s easy

Just make a 1.2 card

[rustic flint]

a continuous ranks mod would be so cursed oh god 😭

all cards in between ace and 2

[mellow sable]

is there an easy way to reset the size of the sprites of a joker before doing more things with it, so you start with a clean slate?

because reapplying the size changes messes things up

[languid mirage]

can't you use dimensions from atlas

or what do you need exactly

[mellow sable]

I’m replacing the sprite of a joker completely, an arbitrary number of times

But it runs into the same bug that you see when spawning a resizing joker in debug mode

[tepid sky]

nice! and he talks xd

[tepid sky]

is there a way to look if the player finished a blind?

i cannot seem to be able to find it :(

[maiden phoenix]

For jokers?

[tepid sky]

nope no joker

[maiden phoenix]

Maybe check around the payout function

[tepid sky]

good idea

[solid salmon]

what the heck does this mean

[tepid crow]

lmk if you find anything better

[tepid sky]

lol

[primal robin]

UI desync

[regal wolf]

local function tprint(tbl, max_indent, _indent)
    if type(tbl) ~= "table" then return tostring(tbl) end
    
    _indent = _indent or 0
    max_indent = max_indent or 32
    local indent_str = string.rep(" ", _indent)
    local toprint = indent_str .. "{\r\n"
    
    _indent = _indent + 2
    for k, v in pairs(tbl) do
        local key_str = (type(k) == "number") and "[" .. k .. "] = " or k .. "= "
        local value_str
        
        if type(v) == "string" then
            value_str = (k == "content") and "..., " or "\"" .. v .. "\", "
        elseif type(v) == "table" then
            value_str = (_indent > max_indent) and tostring(v) .. ", " or tprint(v, max_indent, _indent + 1) .. ", "
        else
            value_str = tostring(v) .. ", "
        end
        
        toprint = toprint .. string.rep(" ", _indent) .. key_str .. value_str .. "\r\n"
    end
    
    return toprint .. indent_str .. "}"
end

[tepid crow]

There's some good stuff in here.

• I like the key_str and value_str, this is probably easier to parse mentally
• I see you've gone for a lot of ternaries. The shorter ones are really nice (love the _indent = _indent or 0 stuff!), but some longer ones are becoming really hard to read imo
• I like local indent_str = string.rep(" ", _indent), it's just unfortunate that you have to use string.rep(" ", _indent) later anyway, so I don't really see the point of it?

I've combined some elements and cleaned some parts up a bit. This is what I've ended up with:

local function tprint(tbl, max_indent, _indent)
    if type(tbl) ~= "table" then return tostring(tbl) end

    max_indent = max_indent or 32
    _indent = _indent or 0
    local toprint = string.rep(" ", _indent) .. "{\n"

    _indent = _indent + 2
    for k, v in pairs(tbl) do
        local key_str, value_str

        if type(k) == "number" then
            key_str = "[" .. k .. "]"
        else
            key_str = tostring(k)
        end

        if type(v) == "string" then
            if k == "content" then
                value_str = "..."
            else
                value_str = '"' .. v .. '"'
            end
        elseif type(v) == "table" and _indent <= max_indent then
            value_str = tostring(v) .. tprint(v, max_indent, _indent)
        else
            value_str = tostring(v)
        end

        toprint = toprint .. string.rep(" ", _indent) .. key_str .. " = " .. value_str .. ",\n"
    end

    return toprint .. string.rep(" ", _indent - 2) .. "}"
end

[regal wolf]

Looks good

I experimented with some other stuff, but ended up feeling like it didn’t make it more readable

There wasn’t as much to change as I thought there would be tbh

I thought there’d be a nice way to remove the if type == table etc, but it didn’t really end up being that nice

[tepid sky]

how would i be able to check if a boss was defeated?

[agile rain]

Hey! I've been trying to make a localization mod with the italian community feedback based on the Better FR Localization mod, but that isn't compatible with Steamodded 1.0.0 Alpha anymore and I don't get how to load the custom it.lua through steamodded

[frosty dock]

latest steamodded should load your localization file from localization/it.lua automatically so long as there's a mod file with a valid header

[tepid sky]

now i can make pirrrate language

or other memey languages out of minecraft lol

[agile rain]

This worked automagically, thanks a bunch!

[abstract venture]

yall how do i make my own ability, like what cryptid does with its rigged sticker?

not sure how or where to set one up

[hardy viper]

look at what cryptid does with its rigged sticker and copy it

generally the solution to everything is to copy other peoples hard work take inspiration from those before you

[abstract venture]

thats what ive been trying 😔

isnt working for what im tryna do

[mellow sable]

sticker api is good for this, tbh
and Rigged is a good reference

[abstract venture]

im using stickers, just cant seem to get the sticker on a card using a consumable

rigged has been a good ref tho 🙏

[hardy viper]

sticker api is undocumented though right

i checked github there doesnt seem to be anything there in any of the related sections

[abstract venture]

yea

im just going off of cryptid lol

[mellow sable]

i guess so, then
i often like going into the steamodded source code to see how it's defined, though

but docs are lagging behind a bit

[abstract venture]

ohh

is it ok to have my own atlas for the stickers? or should i just call the spritesheets sticker(s).png

nvm urs is called something else so imma guess not to use the same name

[hallow forge]

how would one check if a mod is disabled?

with code

[rustic flint]

can someone tell me what's going on with this cause i've been trying to figure it out, the description just says +nil, i feel like i set the var wrong but i don't know how

[surreal marsh]

card.ability.chips is set when calculating (which is when a hand scores), and when you hover on it it hasn't been calculated, so card.ability.chips is nil

[rustic flint]

so how do i set it before calculation

oh wait

i got it

my bad

[tepid sky]

this seemed to work!

[shell timber]

okay, i haven't used steamodded at all since 0.9.8

how on earth does 1.0.0 actually work

[muted pier]

lua objects

[shell timber]

well i gathered that

[maiden phoenix]

Doing a little trolling

[muted pier]

alright time to figure out why my lua mod wont even be registered by steamodded

[crisp elbow]

Do you have the header

[muted pier]

apparently im missing author from the header?

[crisp elbow]

Sounds about right

[muted pier]

figured it out...

"S"

[crisp elbow]

S?

[maiden phoenix]

Yea, it's "MOD_AUTHOR" not "AUTHORS"

[crisp elbow]

m author

[shell timber]

is there a way to apply a specific edition to a joker using debugplus?

[tepid sky]

q

[shell timber]

brilliant.

[tepid sky]

i still don't know who paul is

[plain wyvern]

shoutouts to Paul

[limpid wing]

Who is paul?

[limpid flint]

Paul

[shell timber]

also; a nerf to coupon catalogue(?)

well not really a nerf

it was just a really broken common

[maiden phoenix]

More Fluff update let's go

[limpid flint]

Pogging

[shell timber]

there probably won't be any new content

apart from new colours for cryptid and familiar(?)

and maybe ortalab

finally useful

(i should make that say slots if if gives more than 1)

[languid mirage]

Slot(s)

unless you want to hardcode plural localization

[tepid crow]

you might also be interested in making some MoreFluff Sleeves? 🙃

[shell timber]

i was going to do that as well yeah

[tepid crow]

💙

[hardy viper]

the world if loc_txt was a function (nothing would be different)

[shell timber]

oh god how on earth is hammerspace colour cards gonna work

[languid mirage]

tbf you can probably add separate loc strings for plural and singular
then in loc_txt use localize(key), while choosing key based on if it's plural/singular

[shell timber]

oh right and potentially jokerdisplay support

[limpid flint]

there are no decks in morefluff right

[shell timber]

there are four

[limpid flint]

then maybe card sleeves?

[shell timber]

yeah im gonna do that

oh boy, what fun

probably quite strong with some of the cryptid / jens stuff actually

[maiden phoenix]

Bound to happen

[opal spade]

coding separate strings for singular and plural does make the mod a bit annoying to localize because singular/plural rules differ from language to language

[frosty dock]

ayo even more fluff

[tepid crow]

Haha I literally just asked him #💻・modding-dev message 😅

[sonic mortar]

i wish there was a mod that loosened the movement on cards, make everything jiggly just for the funny

based on the artifact you get when the game's FPS is horribly low

[maiden phoenix]

When Cardsleeves' card sleeves?

[tepid sky]

nah thats crazy

[drowsy tulip]

trying to load a .toml patch and this error shows up even if the payload is completely empty what do

this is the entire file

[tepid sky]

just out of curiosity what are u trying to do? :P

[drowsy tulip]

trying to make a boss blind that triggers an effect during the final scoring step and this was the best way that i found

[tepid sky]

ooh funny

i don;t even think you'd need a patch for that?

do you?

[drowsy tulip]

if you find a better way please let me know

[tepid sky]

just use if args.context == 'final_scoring_step' then (add code you want to happen)?

[drowsy tulip]

yeah but it still needs to be in a function i think

[drowsy tulip]

and there isnt a function that can do that for boss blinds

unless calculate works?

[tepid sky]

i mean it balances the chips and mult? thats something a function does right?

and you can use "args.context == 'final_scoring_step' your self

maybe try to use it to print a number

[drowsy tulip]

yeah but that's a part of backs.lua and im not sure if its gonna work

i will experiment later

[tepid sky]

i'll try smth rq

hmm

yea it didn't like that

you do need a function ;-;

[crisp coral]

does it have to be at the end of scoring step or can it be at the start of next hand

[limpid flint]

Bruh imagine reading

[crisp coral]

reading comprehension failure

[limpid flint]

I mean I understand it, but I didn't read it

[hardy viper]

is custom ui hard to do at all? i mean, it's definitely a little complicated to figure out how to work the code to actually create it, but im more talking about the ease of being able to actually make stuff once you already know how to do it

[tepid sky]

like settings?

[tepid crow]

https://tenor.com/bitnA.gif

[tepid sky]

and after that we need cardsleeves'sleeves cardsleeves!

[tepid sky]

but i do too seems fun to add your own shop thingy or counter or sum 🤔

[drowsy tulip]

it needs to be at the final scoring step specifically

[shell timber]

oh right, finally an antisynergy with double scale

[hardy viper]

every food joker ever:

[shell timber]

well yeah

[hardy viper]

oh do you mean just that mod

[languid mirage]

it kinda reads like you lose money, not the joker

might just be me

[shell timber]

yeah true

[drowsy tulip]

maybe change the text to "decreases by _"?

[shell timber]

yeah i've changed it

[abstract venture]

a badge isnt appearing when i add a sticker to a playing card

but it appears if i add it to the info.queue of a consumable

how do badges appear on playing cards?

[solid salmon]

[abstract venture]

[solid salmon]

I love autism creature

[abstract venture]

wait its known as that?

😭

i just know it as tbh creature

[solid salmon]

its both

(i searched it up)

[abstract venture]

true

[solid salmon]

so what mod are you developing

[abstract venture]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1277496567510732831

just tryna figure out how to get a badge on the cards

[solid salmon]

interesting

im trying to update my mod

[abstract venture]

whats urs

:3c

[solid salmon]

its in my name

[abstract venture]

oh good point

[solid salmon]

im trying to make a joker summon a specific joker

but

its not going well

[abstract venture]

interesting

damn

cant use create_card() in the calculation?

[solid salmon]

its more like an ipairs thing

[abstract venture]

ah

[solid salmon]

and yes i did try Mig Bac

[maiden phoenix]

If you want to call one of your modded joker it usually goes as j_<mod_prefix>_<joker_key>

[abstract venture]

^

that might be the problem

i havent messed with events so idrk if theres a problem in there

[maiden phoenix]

Also you should prob rename that local var in your event since card already exists

[abstract venture]

true

[solid salmon]

so j_othe_mig_bac

[abstract venture]

ya

[solid salmon]

what in the heck

[abstract venture]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[abstract venture]

🙏

damn

[maiden phoenix]

What if you play with your mod and Steamodded alone?

[rough furnace]

you also seem to have 2 instances of DebugPlus loaded at once

[solid salmon]

i forgot coonies collection has that

nothing changed

[maiden phoenix]

Also this feels so wrong..

[solid salmon]

the name, the chance what?

[rough furnace]

I asssume 1/1

[solid salmon]

1/1 doesn't work?

[rough furnace]

1/1 is just 1

so it feels wrong

[solid salmon]

its for testing purposes

how do i fix ipair errors again

(i rarely see these)

[hardy viper]

what

[crisp coral]

elaborate

[wintry solar]

Super late reply, but I think once you understand the system, and I mean properly understand it, it’s fairly easy to make stuff

I have a partial write up of it somewhere in here if you can be bothered to find it

[glass scaffold]

where's the documentation for modding jokers?

[maiden phoenix]

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

[abstract venture]

how do badges work on stickers?

i cant seem to get a badge on playing cards when i make their ability a sticker

like cryptid's rigged sticker

[glass scaffold]

How do I check if a card is a certain value?

[tepid crow]

if you want like 2=2, 10=10, J=11, K=13, A=14 then card.base.id

[glass scaffold]

No, I just wanted to check if a card is an ace

Now I just need to figure out how to double the mult.

[glass scaffold]

Huh?

[agile rain]

Did you just update to the latest lovely beta perchance?

[glass scaffold]

Yeah?

[agile rain]

I started having failed to collect file data for Atlas since I did aswell so that might be a bug

[glass scaffold]

Fun

[agile rain]

    SMODS.Atlas({
    key = "modicon",
    path = "icon.png",
    px = 32,

    })

I'm using this code to change the textures for the italian locale which has been working fine, but it crashes with a concatenate local file_path (table) error whenever I try to change language. I guess it has to do with the SMODS.Atlas tables but idk what's wrong, any clues?

[glass bloom]

I want to start making mods for the game, where should I start?

[glass scaffold]

Well, if you're on the latest beta for LOVELY, maybe hold off.

If not, check https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/05.-SMODS.Center

It has the basics for stuff. You can also rummage through the base game's code and maybe take stuff from there, but be warned, it's not easy.

[glass bloom]

Ok thanks I’m starting development on an ai using enforcement based learning and I thought Balatro would be a cool thing to test it on

[tepid sky]

ngl that indeed is cool

[drowsy tulip]

asking again

[agile rain]

Having this crash when changing language

[muted kite]

Looks like an NFS error to me

[frosty dock]

whoops I really thought I'd tested that

steamodded bug

[solid salmon]

how do i fix an ipair error

[frosty dock]

dude we have no clue what you mean

can you like at least say what the actual error is

chances are the issue is that you have no idea what you're doing 💀

[agile rain]

You mean the crash error I encountered? That's kinda relieving haha

[frosty dock]

yeah

[agile rain]

Looking forward to future updates then, thanks for letting me know 👌🏻

[hardy viper]

how this guy feels after repeatedly asking how to fix an ipairs error without giving any context whatsoever

[crisp elbow]

Common AI Gen Goku L

[solid salmon]

I'll give it later

[hardy viper]

brother is biding his time

[abstract venture]

and im repeatedly asking how get a badge on a playing card when setting its ability to a sticker with a consumable 🙏 (like cryptid's rigged sticker)

[frosty dock]

that should be happening automatically unless you somehow copied no_badge from the vanilla objects

[abstract venture]

that's what im sayin

im just using the sticker objects so it should make a badge

I can make a badge on the consumable using the sticker's data so

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[shell timber]

reposting this here, jankman buff

[maiden phoenix]

Is the .31 a ref to something?

[shell timber]

it's not a round number, jank

[maiden phoenix]

nice

[shell timber]

in fact it's like 1.3172 or something

but it gets rounded

[hearty mesa]

can someone inform me how card_eval_status_text() works?

[hardy viper]

nope i have no clue but i could tell you if i spent 10 minutes looking at the code and so could you

[hearty mesa]

damn

ok thanks (?)

[abstract venture]

brutal 😭

[royal ridge]

nah what the hell 😭

[hardy viper]

ok time to be actually helpful
this is how i figure stuff like this out
i use VSC with an extension for lua (google lua for vsc) (sumneko)
what i do is i right click on that function and click "find all implementations"
then a sidebar pops up like this image that ive attached
i can click on these and itll show me everywhere where that function is written
generally you want to look in two places

1. (this only applies to stuff found in the vanilla source code) the lovely dump of the source, this will show what the original function looks like after lovely patches (.toml files, replaces stuff in the code pre-compilation), this will be in Mods/lovely/dump/ (idk if these only generate when you crash). this shows you what the code looks like after these patches are applied. so what i see here is that this is the code that applies those "Again!" or "+4 mult" popups you see when a joker is scored

2. all the mod patches that arent applied through .toml files, which you can see here. for example, I can look at nopeus' patch here and see that it looks and sees if in your settings for Nopeus youve specified that for example you dont want to see the Again! popup when a card is retriggered, and if you have then it wont do anything.

[rough furnace]

if you have your code in vscode you can also use the search tab on the sidebar to seardch though all the files

might also be useful to see how its used

[hardy viper]

^

[tepid crow]

quick question, did you manage to fix this Failed to collect file data for Atlas ...?

[hardy viper]

i personally just do the same right click thing and hit "find all references" when i want to do that though

[glass scaffold]

I wish

But nope

[rough furnace]

I usually just use grep from the cli to look for the right file

[solid salmon]

the context

[hardy viper]

and whats the error

[drowsy tulip]

is there an easy way to get the position of a card in the played hand

[tepid eagle]

what if it's an ipair error

[solid salmon]

it just crashes instead of making the joker

[drowsy tulip]

without making a separate for loop that is

[abstract venture]

G.played_hand[i] I believe, I may be wrong

[hardy viper]

yeah i give up on you

[abstract venture]

I being wherever u want

[solid salmon]

bruh

[drowsy tulip]

that gets the card but i need the index from an element

[solid salmon]

let me pull up the error screen

[drowsy tulip]

i don't think there's a way from what I've looked up

[abstract venture]

might need a loop for that then

unfortunately

[glass scaffold]

Code & error. Is there anything I can do on my side to fix this?

[maiden phoenix]

In your SMODS.Atlas, add raw_key = true

[glass scaffold]

Same error.

Anything else I can try?

[maiden phoenix]

What's your version of lovely?

[glass scaffold]

beta7

[maiden phoenix]

Try reverting to beta6

[glass scaffold]

beta6 has the same issue

What is wrong with LOVELY to where it's crashing like this?

[tepid crow]

had someone else with that same error

lovely-beta7 also wasn't the cause

unfortunately, the solution there was to rip the entire atlas out of the mod, which isn't really a good one...

[maiden phoenix]

Whats the name of your file in assets/1x

[glass scaffold]

Oh my god.

I forgot the 1x and 2x.

[maiden phoenix]

Make sur the file's name is 1:1 with your atlas key

[glass scaffold]

WHAT

[glass scaffold]

Fixed (Removed raw_key = true)

Now how do I check to see if a card is an Ace

[maiden phoenix]

Lil tutorial: when you ask yourself questions like "how can I do x", your first thought should be "Are there any vanilla jokers that does that". For your example you could check "Superposition" or "Scholar"

[glass scaffold]

For anyone else wondering, it's context.other_card:get_id() == 14 according to the main game.

[maiden phoenix]

Careful of what needs to be put behind :get_id() == 14 depending of the context

[gentle fiber]

hey, I was looking to skin a few cards, is there an easily usable template for that out there? im not really familiar with modding games

[maiden phoenix]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1284376286789111940

[glass scaffold]

Now how tf do I make it double the mult every time it's triggered?

[maiden phoenix]

What's the joker effect you're trying to achieve?

[glass scaffold]

Every Ace doubles the mult.

[maiden phoenix]

The Mult as in the mult in the left?

[glass scaffold]

Yeah

[maiden phoenix]

There's a global var called "mult"

[tepid crow]

again, you should probably look at some similar jokers

triboulet or photograph maybe

[maiden phoenix]

They don't achieve what they want

Wait

[tepid crow]

oh did I misunderstand 🤔

[maiden phoenix]

I'm dumb nvm

It's just "x2 Mult" effect yea

[tepid crow]

I assumed it was "if Ace is scored, x2 mult"

[glass scaffold]

Yeah, whenever an ace is scored, double the mult on the left

[maiden phoenix]

Just say "x2 Mult" lol

I said "mult on the left" cuz I had a brainfart and didn't realise sooner somehow

[glass scaffold]

oh

right, i ripped code from Triboulet

And not working.

[tepid eagle]

have you defined self.ability.extra for this joker

[glass scaffold]

no and I don't know where to do that

[maiden phoenix]

Also you should replace "self" with "card"

for x_mult

[glass scaffold]

alright, but how would I make it double the mult?

[maiden phoenix]

Just set up your extra value as 2

[glass scaffold]

which I did at line 34?

[drowsy tulip]

balatro font in vscode is both blessed and cursed somehow

you gotta set it up like this

i think?

[maiden phoenix]

Not if it just refers extra

extra can be an integer

[drowsy tulip]

Damn...

[maiden phoenix]

But yea doing that should be enough

[drowsy tulip]

ye

[glass scaffold]

So... it's doing its job.

But it's doing x6, not x2

[maiden phoenix]

Oh right there are multiple context.individual

You'll have to be more specific in your context check

[tepid eagle]

try adding "and not context.repetition" after context.individual

apologies for not using the code block format for i am on mobile

[maiden phoenix]

Also check for context.cardarea == G.play

[tepid eagle]

yeah

[glass scaffold]

Fixed, behaves perfectly.

[tepid eagle]

hooray!

[glass scaffold]

Now to fix Blueprint not copying it...

Wait, nevermind, it's working already

[wintry solar]

Pretty sure your arguments for create card are wrong

[glass scaffold]

Anyone have a guide on how to color the text?

[drowsy tulip]

{C:color}your text here{}

you can find all the descriptions with colors in en-us.lua

[glass scaffold]

What folder is it in?

[drowsy tulip]

localizations

[glass scaffold]

Well, I took {X:mult,C:white} X#1# {} Mult, but now my joker shows Xnil

[tepid crow]

you gotta define a loc_vars

see https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/main/example_mods/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua for some in-depth examples

[glass scaffold]

so if I just wanna have the x2 show, what would the loc_vars look like?

[drowsy tulip]

return = { vars = { card.ability.extra} }

i think

[tepid crow]

did you look at my link and not understand or are you just asking

[glass scaffold]

just asked

[tepid crow]

go look at the link

[agile rain]

I just won a game and this crash happened, after restarting the game and winning in the very same way it didn't replicate

[spiral orbit]

yeah i remember getting that often too

[crisp elbow]

I think it's a steamodded issue itself i'm not too sure

[brisk rose]

"My" mod DeFused https://ptb.discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1271500476457812120 Has an issue that the original Fusion Jokers also has where Collectable Chaos Card doesn't give its rerolls properly. I've not been able to fgure it out, and would appreciate any help. As far as I know, besides a newer issue that I think will be pretty easy to fix, it's the only functionality-impacting bug I've come across that's left

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1271500476457812120/1274286561940344902/image.png?ex=66eb3a97&is=66e9e917&hm=53d61a5de263c4b02d2fb437e06cb1cc453b02312e7494ea6085c58875576283&
This is the code in question I'm pretty sure

[gray apex]

Is there any good documentation on creating custom enhancements? I'm wanting to try and replicate the effect of negative edition for playing cards with a custom enhancement, but I haven't found anything particularly helpful yet.

[opal spade]

use find_card(key) instead of find_joker(name)

[brisk rose]

I should note that this is a 0.98 mod, in case that changes things

[opal spade]

oh

[brisk rose]

Yeah, it's just a straight modifcation of the Joker Fusion codebase

[nocturne garnet]

does anyone know how to change base mult with a joker?

before cards are scored btw

[maiden phoenix]

wdym by "change base mult"

[nocturne garnet]

change mult before cards are scored

[maiden phoenix]

You could use some specific contexts or use the SMODS.eval_this function

context.before I think could work

[nocturne garnet]

god damn you talisman

[zealous garden]

hey people, I'm not very good at code but I am curious
been running into a bunch of issues, does anyone know if there's a joker that triggers on hand drawn like that or something. I'm trying to make mine give you additional draws but its been hard. tried playing with changing hand size but if there's a way to just make it draw additional cards on hand draw that'd be good

[paper star]

it'd probably be easiest to take two variables from two different things
take something that has an effect when played (ex. +mult when "x" card is played) and something that makes you draw cards (probably cryptid)

or if it works, idk if it will

DNA

[rough furnace]

what do you mean on draws?

like burgaler effect?

[paper star]

oh I misread

disregard what I said

[zealous garden]

mhm I got the scoring part down, it just looks for a wild card on scored hand and gives you your extra draws, its a hazzle to make it work with having to move the hand size around though

[zealous garden]

kinda, but like, on every draw, just not the initial one

[rough furnace]

what are you trying to do?

[zealous garden]

"if scored hand contains a wild card, draw 4 additional cards next draw"

[rough furnace]

oh

just a sec

[paper star]

not exactly the same but you could make it similar to dna but just draw 4 negative cards from your deck

[tepid crow]

problem is that DNA "draws" before normal hand draw

[zealous garden]

mhm, that's the issue I encountered , if you make it draw before your proper draw you will get no additional cards. I managed to make it work by changing hand size but if that's the case I still need to check after you draw your hand to lower your hand size(plus at end of bind)

[hardy viper]

patch whichever function draws cards and either make it subtract 4 from your hand size when it finishes if your joker saw a wild card played last hand, or just make the for loop run 4 extra times if it saw a wild card played last hand

[rough furnace]

looks like the game doesn't emit an event for any new hand

[zealous garden]

bummer!

[rough furnace]

but if you wanted to you could do a lovely patch in game.lua for Game:update_draw_to_hand

[zealous garden]

when would I trigger this action if I may ask?

[zealous garden]

I'll try that, thanks for the help

[hardy viper]

dunno, i haven't looked into anything like this and i can't right now, that's just a general idea of what i would try to do

[rough furnace]

actually you might want to instead hook G.FUNCS.draw_from_deck_to_hand in functions/state_events.lua to just increase the hand size

[zealous garden]

just to check, if you guys know, is there a way to fetch how many cards in hand and the player's current handsize? cuz if so there's a very simple way to do this

[hardy viper]

check CardArea file

that's the skeleton your hand uses

should be some sort of reference to a maximum in there

and how many cards in hand is just #G.hand.cards

[zealous garden]

aha, I got it! many thanks all you people

[rough furnace]

Yeah I was thinking you could chsnfe the card area size but it would be hard to undo reliably

[zealous garden]

I figured out a solution, if the joker triggers just make it check cards in hand, plus your current hand size (which was way simpler than I thought) and just make it draw the delta *plus the extra cards I need and boom!

you guys mentioned cryptid had a card that let you draw on extra right? (if its fine to peek into their code)

[hardy viper]

effarcire i think it was called

makes all cards draw to hand

[tepid crow]

yeah that'll probably work

[hardy viper]

all the other ones that affect draws just change hand size iirc

[zealous garden]

alright, many many thanks, it worked like a charm

[hushed cradle]

anyone know if Card:release is used at all?

ive hooked a print thing to it and it is not printing anything

[rough furnace]

not sure

it just calls the areas release

seems related to moving cards

[hushed cradle]

thats what i thought

card area doesnt seem to have a release thing tho

[rough furnace]

it might inherit it from something else

[hushed cradle]

ah yeah true

ill check moveable

[rough furnace]

based on a quick grep Node and UIElement have it

[hushed cradle]

does nothing get patched to node?

damn]

i havent got the source code on my laptop im gonna have to grab that quickly

if you were gonna have a check for when a joker is moved tho what would you do??

i had something in the update thing for my joker but thats causing issues

[rough furnace]

Does moving count when a new joker is added to the area?

[hushed cradle]

i guess yeah

[rough furnace]

Idk how does blueprint/brainstorm update their descriptions?

[hushed cradle]

ah good idea

thank you

oh thats probably just for when its hovered over right

[rough furnace]

I mean are you able to just check anywhere you need that info when you check it

Or do you need to react to it?

[hushed cradle]

sorry i didnt really explain what im doing

tryna debuff the joker to the left of my joker

[rough furnace]

There is maybe some kind of event in the card are you could hook

Otherwise you might be able to just get away with an event that check every frame

[hushed cradle]

apparrently checking every frame is causing the game to freeze up

so ill keep looking for other things to hook to

[rough furnace]

Are you using an event?

[hushed cradle]

no

i still dont really get events lol

[rough furnace]

Try spawning an event. Return false to have the event rerub next frame

I'm on my phone so I can't pull an example

[hushed cradle]

no worries

thanks for your help

if im getting the event to rerun each frame should i just create it when the joker is bought

i take it its not a good idea to create a new event each frame

[tepid crow]

kind of a weird "event" if it's triggering every second

[rough furnace]

events just let you do that, and its every frame

[tepid crow]

ah sorry, was thinking about evaluation trigger events

[rough furnace]

probably something like thislua G.E_MANAGER:add_event( Event({ trigger = "immediate", func = function() if false then -- do check for if your joker no longer exists -- Probably remove all debufs return true end -- figure out which joker(s) to debuff and rmeove/add debuffs here return false end, }), "other" )

not sure which event queue would be best for it

side note I think the event queue is my favourite system in balatro

its such a well made and useful system

and makes things like the joker events so simple to follow

the base queue would probbaly make the most sense

maybe make it non-blockable

[tepid crow]

balatro's event queue is pretty cool yeah

mostly for timing stuff though

[rough furnace]

yeah

and the ability to rerun events

which makes it stupid simple to wait for something

also I was able to hack it to run my event every x seconds

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/blob/dev/watcher.lua#L31-L46

[tepid crow]

oh that's pretty neat

[spiral orbit]

you know is it possible to make it so whenever a joker/card triggers, it does a flip instead of just shaking normally?

[rough furnace]

yeah it should be possible

[spiral orbit]

that would be funny to try one day

[regal wolf]

should be pretty easy to do. Just replace juice up with a flip animation.

[spiral orbit]

i might try that when i get home that sounds like a fun mod to do as my first

[glass bloom]

what program do you use to open balatros source code?

[rough furnace]

7zip can extract it

[spiral orbit]

yeah you can just open it with winrar too

[glass bloom]

I extracted it but It wont open

[hardy viper]

G.E_MANAGER son or G.update daughter

[hardy viper]

is there an easy way to update the text on a card

[rough furnace]

wdym?

[hardy viper]

like if you had a joker and wanted to change the text it displayed

[rough furnace]

like in the tooltip?

[hardy viper]

yeah

although i believe ive figured it out

[rough furnace]

iirc you just use localization variables and set the text there

[hardy viper]

yup nice

[orchid thunder]

can somone tell me why it shows twice and how to fix it

[frigid latch]

howd you open that menu

[brisk rose]

with debugplus, hold tab

[tepid sky]

:o that chip requirement

[crisp coral]

remove card eval status text?

[nocturne garnet]

i should post my cryptid stuff more often

[primal robin]

Game just silent-crash. How can I get logs for debug?

[rough furnace]

in your Mods folder there should be lovely > logs and from there you can find the most recent dated one

[primal robin]

No info in it, like game just close itself for no reason

[rough furnace]

thats odd

[tepid crow]

happens sometimes

what's your modlist?

[primal robin]

Nvm, fixed

Game don't like when you try to save function

[rough furnace]

that should still crash normally

any chance you have a way to replicate that

wonder if the crash handler is doing something wrong

[shell timber]

card buffer advanced rework

basically just a weird blueprint / brainstorm?

[tepid crow]

neat

[nocturne garnet]

and also

[shell timber]

the card should be upside down to make an A

literally unplayable

oh right i should ask

are temporary playing cards a thing in steamodded? or do you still have to do it manually

hell yeah

[frosty dock]

no.

[shell timber]

yeah it's fine the old way still works

[hardy viper]

doesn't love not really have a crash handler? afaik you only really get a luajit exit code when it just full crashes

[rough furnace]

Love does but we override it in steamodded (and thunk overrode it in baaltro itself). However, if the crash handler crashes then the game just closes so the game just closing on a crash might be a sign that something is going wrong in the crash handler

Though iirc there are crashes that it can't catch, like if something in c land crashes

[hardy viper]

uhm yeah lol i did not mean the inbuilt error handler

[nocturne garnet]

now where have i seen this before

[tepid sky]

2 ?! wow

[west lion]

Hello! Just joined the discord to look into working on and contributing shaders. I have fairly good knowledge of GLSL, but never worked with Love2D or anything to do with modded Balatro. I've found the links to the Love2D Beginner's Guide to Shaders and Steamodded example mod shaders. What I'm wondering is what, if any, dev environment people use to work on shaders? Like a standalone Love2D project that just quickly loads some example cards for you to preview the shaders, or a mod for the full game that does something similar. Or if there's any other tips people have to make editing shaders easier.

[crisp elbow]

best way to do it I think would probably be gips to at least test it pre Love conversion and then just a mod ingame

@west lion sorry for ping

because it's a 2 step process from coding the actual GLSL proper to then porting it to LOVE2D

[west lion]

Ping is appreciated, thanks!

[crisp elbow]

and you can easily I think test it with a custom edition, see if it looks good, if it crashes, so on and so forth

[west lion]

is there mod/shader access to the background? for when opening modded booster packs or special events

[crisp elbow]

I believe certain mods have done custom colors before (cryptid) but not too sure on the shader side of things

[languid mirage]

There isn't such project, not that I know of, at least, GIPS doesn't use the exact syntax love2d does

I'm just using GIPS for shaders preview

[crisp elbow]

yeah that's kinda what I suggested as well

GIPS to test your glsl code pre port

[west lion]

I assume that in order for changes to the baground shader to be made, you'd either have to entirely replace it, or modify the original, which would mean effectively redistributing source code

[crisp elbow]

and then a mod in game because as long as you register it correctly it pops up on the collection

[languid mirage]

background shader can be modified within the game

as it has a bunch of configurable parameters, such as colors and amount of swirl

[west lion]

it would be fun to entirely replace it though, just expose the same uniforms that the original does but do different things with them

[languid mirage]

that is possible too

[frosty dock]

that would also be possible so long as it's compatible with what the base game sends to it (or you also modify the parameters)

[nocturne garnet]

well

i think i know how

[languid mirage]

[nocturne garnet]

G.SPLASH_BACK:define_draw_steps({{
        shader = 'splash',
        send = {
            {name = 'time', ref_table = G.TIMERS, ref_value = 'REAL_SHADER'},
            {name = 'vort_speed', val = 1},
            {name = 'colour_1', ref_table = G.C, ref_value = 'BLUE'},
            {name = 'colour_2', ref_table = G.C, ref_value = 'DARK_EDITION'},
        }}})```
for the main menu im p sure

[frosty dock]

that's the splash shader, not the background one

[languid mirage]

it is the main menu background

shader

[west lion]

yeah, it looks like Love2D calls GLSL uniforms externs

[nocturne garnet]

G.SPLASH_BACK:define_draw_steps({{
        shader = 'background',
        send = {
            {name = 'time', ref_table = G.TIMERS, ref_value = 'REAL_SHADER'},
            {name = 'spin_time', ref_table = G.TIMERS, ref_value = 'BACKGROUND'},
            {name = 'colour_1', ref_table = G.C.BACKGROUND, ref_value = 'C'},
            {name = 'colour_2', ref_table = G.C.BACKGROUND, ref_value = 'L'},
            {name = 'colour_3', ref_table = G.C.BACKGROUND, ref_value = 'D'},
            {name = 'contrast', ref_table = G.C.BACKGROUND, ref_value = 'contrast'},
            {name = 'spin_amount', ref_table = G.ARGS.spin, ref_value = 'amount'}
        }}})```

[languid mirage]

yeah it says it in their beginners guide

[rough furnace]

someome remind me to look into this, I might be able to make something quick that would be helpful for debugging shaders in game

[west lion]

yay!

[hardy viper]

isn't there a debugplus button to reload atlases? does that not reload shaders

[languid mirage]

tbh havent tested, I thought shaders compile on startup only

[hardy viper]

i would think so too but it's worth a try

[dim nimbus]

Having a weird issue where the game is crashing on retrigger due to inability to call juice up

the issue is that my joker shouldn't be juicing anything up? do i need something for the card to do when it retriggers or something?

[hardy viper]

sounds nopeusy

oh wait

juice up is a different function

[dim nimbus]

yeah

its one that causes the cards to jiggle

wait i figured it out

swing and a miss i guess

[rough furnace]

I think it is just atlases

I just do the same thing as toggling the pixel scaling option

[umbral orchid]

Hello guys, I am new to modding, is there a place where I can lookup all the G Variables

For example, I want for a joker to give #1# mult
And #1# will increase by #2# every played hand

But also I want to #1# and #2# reset on round end

[frosty dock]

#1# and #2# are just placeholders for your variables that you specify in a loc_vars function

having a look at the game's source code is great for figuring these things out

[umbral orchid]

I mean, maybe there is G.Round ended or something

[frosty dock]

you can just extract the executable with 7-zip and there's all the code

[umbral orchid]

Oh, cool

But Vanilla Jokers are not written in SMOD style probably

[frosty dock]

also if you're not already familiar with programming, go learn about Lua and basic programming concepts. I can recommend this resource: https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html

[frosty dock]

yeah they're different

there's an example mod that re-implements some vanilla jokers in steamodded, but there's plenty of other modded jokers to use as examples

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

[umbral orchid]

I am familiar I think, it is only question about ingame functions and variables which I don't know

[umbral orchid]

Yeah, already looked it up, created some basic Jokers for practice

[frosty dock]

alright

it's a lot to digest so feel free to ask questions about anything you might come across here

[umbral orchid]

Thanks, I will try to learn what I can myself

[frosty dock]

also note that steamodded heavily modifies a lot of the game to a point where the modded version barely resembles the original function at all

[umbral orchid]

Yeah, already noticed

This is so difficult to read

[spiral orbit]

is this the base code or the steammoded code

[umbral orchid]

Game.lua

[umbral orchid]

Balatro code

[spiral orbit]

the devs are strong for dealing with this

[frosty dock]

for the ones that aren't fully overwritten, vanilla code is often patched in some way, you can also view the results of these patches in <Mods folder>/lovely/dump under the same file name that corresponds to the file in the game itself

even with steamodded alone this has most of the files you need, so I usually end up just using this since my work is often involved directly with it. You'll get a decent idea of how the game works without, but there's cases of implementations that just can't be kept around while incorporating mod support (like suits and ranks). In that case there's not much of a need to be familiar with the vanilla version

[frosty dock]

eh I've seen way worse, this is just data

watch out for Card:calculate_joker

[umbral orchid]

"your work"?

[frosty dock]

I'm the top contributor of recent steamodded

[umbral orchid]

Oh

Sorry

[frosty dock]

not like it's specifically my project or anything, we have like 30 contributors

[umbral orchid]

My mind snaps, it is so difficult to understand

[frosty dock]

I advise against it as a point of reference

The jist of it is this #1247703015222149120

[umbral orchid]

Oh

Thanks

Also another question

Today I tried to merge Golden Joker with Runner, but it did not work no matter where did I put the code

Code of the added dollars

All of this

[frosty dock]

would you happen to have added the calculate function from runner, that's where all its functionality happens

you would also have to merge their config tables

to use card.ability.extra.money, you must first have a corresponding preset config value

[umbral orchid]

Did it

[umbral orchid]

Yeah, i've added it into config ={}

And vars =

[frosty dock]

mind showing your code for that?

[umbral orchid]

I did it on my laptop, recreating code right now

[orchid thunder]

whats the fuction i can call to add chips or mult

[frosty dock]

SMODS.eval_this?

[orchid thunder]

i was thinking more like in joker calcuation

i have this

it works

but it does the text then adds the mult and chips at the same time

[umbral orchid]

Had that problem too

How to add that delay,

Like with walkie-talkie

[frosty dock]

if context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.before and not context.after cameo

me when i don't use context.joker_main

https://tenor.com/view/you-have-no-idea-gif-27149353

[orchid thunder]

ok will i could change that

and just did btu sill

[frosty dock]

walkie-talkie and scholar are special in that they use an 'individual' context that works differently from the rest

[umbral orchid]

Oh

[frosty dock]

to have this effect during the main joker phase, you need a manual status text

[spiral orbit]

is it because they activate during hand scoring?

[orchid thunder]

its like i want what runner does except for multiple values

[frosty dock]

best to use SMODS.eval_this for that

[orchid thunder]

ok il try that

[frosty dock]

the functionality exists this way because thunk needed it, but only for this type of scoring

[primal robin]

So suit-based jokers like gems works different from waktie-talkie and scholar?

[frosty dock]

they work the same

[orchid thunder]

how do i use it

[umbral orchid]

@frosty dock I think I did it like this (It did not work)

[primal robin]

Sometimes I'm glad I don't do jokers, only blinds

[umbral orchid]

I thought Jokers are the simplest

[frosty dock]

something like this

SMODS.eval_this(card, {
  mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
  message = localize({ type = 'variable',  key = 'a_mult', vars = {card.ability.extra.mult} })
})

[orchid thunder]

can i use it more than once?

so like chips and mult

[frosty dock]

you can put multiple of mult_mod, chip_mod, Xmult_mod in the effects for applying at the same time, or call multiple times with different effects to run in sequence

adjust the message accordingly of course, as you would for return values

[orchid thunder]

ok what about custom stuff added luke powmutl from talisman

[frosty dock]

it will work for the status text but doesn't automagically apply the effect iirc

[orchid thunder]

thanks it works so far

[umbral orchid]

Do I place

   calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
     local bonus = card.ability.extra.money
     if bonus > 0 then return bonus end
   end

Out of Calculate of Runner?

[orchid thunder]

why is this not destroying a random conumable but yet the first one

[frosty dock]

yeah it should be its own separate function

[umbral orchid]

Thanks

[frosty dock]

because it's in the for loop?

[umbral orchid]

@frosty dock Is there a way to hide color tags?

[frosty dock]

they don't on that screen, I think you can configure the color with steamodded's DollarRow API? haven't looked at it in a while

[umbral orchid]

"DollarRow API"?

[frosty dock]

whatever

[orchid thunder]

tahnsk that worked

[frosty dock]

even that doesn't support multicolor text I don't think, so patching would be required to make that work

[umbral orchid]

Wow

So no blue "Chip" right now if I want Joker to give money

[frosty dock]

I suggest to just disregard the color on cashout for now and revisit later

[umbral orchid]

Yeah

Thanks for the help

[orchid thunder]

is it a_Xmult or a_xmult

[umbral orchid]

Can I quickly restart the game somehow? Like reloading Atlas with DebugPlus

[orchid thunder]

welp i need to gain people to help with the art in my mod so time to post my mod as a mod

[molten ice]

Hello! This is a little strange use case, but I'm currently working on a some kind of texture mod that can also affect other modded stuff without messing with their assets directly (so all my assets remained inside my own mod repo), so I was wondering

1. Is there a way to check if certain mod is loaded AND active? (0.9.8 seems to have their own way with SMODS.Init.<MOD_ID>, but I don't think I can find the equivalent in 1.0.0)
2. Is it possible to take ownership of modded suits and jokers? I've tried this to Bunco's Fleurons and Halberd suits and it only gives me duplicated key errors and skipped. For joker one, the one I took the ownership off to change the atlas seems to be missing from the collection entirely.
3. Is there a way to partially change loc_vars without duplicating the whole elements? For example, I would like to only change the name of the vanilla joker but kept the rest of the description in-tact. Currently I had to duplicate the description to my own files too (and recreate other tooltip pop ups), but I was wondering if there's any other option.

I have made sure to give the priority to my mod to ensure it's the last thing loaded

[hardy viper]

well for #1, SMODS.Mods[id].can_load should work

the conditions for that seem to be

1. not duplicate id or key or anything
2. not disabled via the ingame UI

[molten ice]

Ah, thank you very much. That works!

[loud citrus]

is there an example of taking ownership of a joker?

[orchid thunder]

#1286451229534322783 message
Can someone give me ideas for what my consumables can do

[nocturne garnet]

(ignore sprite, placeholder)

[rough furnace]

you should update debug plus I removed the long dt messages (for real this time)

[nocturne garnet]

i update my mods once every blue moon

next time will be when reverie is finished for 1.0.0

i be cooked

is it too overpowered

[brisk rose]

I noticed a very interesting behavior with the error logs. Sometimes it errors out and prints a partial error log, but if you hold ctrl+c it slowly finishes printing it to the screen

[gaunt thistle]

if anyone is getting the UTF-8 crash while using lovely beta7 PLEASE have them use this binary instead and screenshot the error message. #1225831216939536394 message

[lament flame]

to anyone who makes mods here, how do you make the sprites yourself? what program do you use and do you make the sprites IN the atlas?

[gaunt thistle]

and @ me

[crisp elbow]

Aseprite personally

[lament flame]

oh i see

im considering purchasing it

[crisp elbow]

If you wanna be cheap like me you can compile it from source code

[lament flame]

how do you do that?

[crisp elbow]

There should be instructions on the aseprite github page

Personally on Arch Linux you can compile it directly from terminal no problems

[lament flame]

hm i dont see anything

[opal spade]

I draw my sprites in krita and then paste it into the atlas with paint.net (where I also do the upscaling)

[junior parrot]

meant to say thank you for the invite to the balatro discord in the github issue ^^
and i dont think the issue i mentioned there is due to cryptid, since it worked with a fresh steammodded from the main repo and a brand new lovely install

[frosty dock]

this is only partially correct and will crash if the mod is not loaded to begin with (you can use dependencies to enforce that). Use (SMODS.Mods[id] or {}).can_load

[loud citrus]

how to i make my own descriptions and change the extra value of the jokers i took ownership? i learned how to implement my effects :)

[maiden phoenix]

For the extra value you can modify the config, for the desc maybe you can override the existing one by replacing its value?

[stiff locust]

what does [ expected near local mean (also what do square brackets do in lua)

[languid mirage]

table indexing

probably some patch failed

and there's an open bracket that isnt closed

[languid mirage]

like G['hand'] is same as G.hand

[stiff locust]

there are only two square brackets in my entire file

and they're for the mod authors section in the header

i'm pretty sure i closed every other bracket

yeah i closed all of them

[stiff locust]

i wish i knew what any of these words meant 😭
i was hoping i could just learn by doing but i havent even been able to boot up the game yet

[languid mirage]

installing LSP for lua helps with eliminating these syntax errors

if you have VSCode you can install extension

I use this one

[stiff locust]

okay

how do I install an extension

[shell timber]

oh they have an LSP? neat

[languid mirage]

😭

[frosty dock]

i could never imagine not using one 💀

[stiff locust]

oh cool

[shell timber]

i have the one for rust i didn't know there was one for lua

[stiff locust]

how do i look at it

[languid mirage]

most programming languages have them, I feel like

[stiff locust]

when/where does the extension scream at me

[shell timber]

oh no now every file has 9+ errors

[frosty dock]

whenever something's wrong

[languid mirage]

it will highlight syntax errors with red underline

[stiff locust]

nothing is changing i installed the extension

[languid mirage]

maybe you need to relaunch VSCode

[frosty dock]

^

[stiff locust]

i will do that

[frosty dock]

also consider reading into this: https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html

[stiff locust]

there is no red underline

[languid mirage]

hm

can you show full error?

[stiff locust]

i can send the crash log

[languid mirage]

yeah that's what I meant

[stiff locust]

okay

fair warning i have zero fucking clue what i'm doing and probably made a very stupid mistake

[languid mirage]

alright can you screenshot Tsunami.lua around line 13

or just send code

doesn't matter too much

[languid mirage]

no

around means lines above

and below

[stiff locust]

ohhhh

[languid mirage]

not just 1 line 😭

[shell timber]

are you using 0.9.8?

[stiff locust]

no

[shell timber]

then you don't need the init function

[stiff locust]

oh

okay

[languid mirage]

still not sure why syntax error happens though

is there no other code above this function?

[stiff locust]

removing it made everything die

it's all red and yellow now

[languid mirage]

remove closing end

after this function

[stiff locust]

i did

[stiff locust]

no

other than the steamodded header

[languid mirage]

then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

you have to screenshot everything or send full file

[stiff locust]

it's all red

this is literally it

i'm just trying to make a joker that makes splash when the round ends

i just realised it's supposed to be when blind is selected

[shell timber]

you missed a closing } for loc

[stiff locust]

oh

[shell timber]

the rest of the code looks questionable but should work(?)

[languid mirage]

this has to be a function

not a table

[shell timber]

oh, right

[languid mirage]

instead of { ... } you need to use function () ... end

[stiff locust]

what

what would that look like

[languid mirage]

you really should try to learn lua syntax ^

[shell timber]

also, it should be calculate

[stiff locust]

calculate?

[shell timber]

and the function should have arguments (self, card, context)

all joker ability stuff is done in the calculate function

[stiff locust]

where does calculate go

[shell timber]

replace the word "ability" with "calculate"

[stiff locust]

okay

what does the white underline mean

[shell timber]

i don't know

[stiff locust]

i made it disappear

so i think i did something right

[shell timber]

i agree with stupxd, you should try learning lua before you start modding

[stiff locust]

i should do that but i'm gonna see how long i can get away with learning as i go
