[nocturne garnet]

just hooked to end_round, changed a variable and checked if the variable is the same as the string

[tepid crow]

seems like G.GAME.blind is only defined during the round

that's annoying

[zealous glen]

I mean, you’re not in a Blind out of a round

So if you want the Blind-to-be you need to look at the list of Blinds for the Ante

[tepid crow]

I guess

undefining it seems like a lot though

or rather, keeping G.GAME.blind defined but not the attributes that define a blind

[zealous glen]

Doesn’t seem like a lot

Just vacate the memory

I wonder if the burning animation also destroys the Blind

Like it does to Cards

[tepid crow]

seems like it's the Blind:defeat that does the self:set_blind(nil, nil, true)

[tepid crow]

then why not vacate G.GAME.blind as a whole at that point

idk I'm just annoyed G.GAME.blind still exists, but not for any useful reasons as far as I can tell

[zealous glen]

Isn’t it vacated?

[tepid crow]

no, only the parts of it that define what a blind is

the Small/Big/Boss and name, mostly

[zealous glen]

What else is there

[tepid crow]

a lot of UI stuff I think

G.GAME.blind = {
  click_offset = table: 0x0713a480,
  static_rotation = false,
  ambient_tilt = 0.3,
  parent = table: 0x06d1b8b0,
  mult = 0,
  T = table: 0x0713a390,
  offset = table: 0x0713b100,
  tilt_var = table: 0x0713b270,
  last_aligned = -1,
  Mid = table: 0x0713a1f0,
  colour = table: 0x0713b300,
  loc_debuff_text = "",
  VT = table: 0x0713a980,
  shadow_parrallax = table: 0x0713b160,
  ARGS = table: 0x0713a278,
  ID = 617,
  container = table: 0x06ce8318,
  config = table: 0x0713b248,
  velocity = table: 0x0713aa70,
  disabled = false,
  CALCING = true,
  dollars = 0,
  alignment = table: 0x0713acb0,
  prepped = true,
  loc_name = "",
  blind_set = false,
  CT = table: 0x0713a390,
  STATIONARY = true,
  loc_debuff_lines = table: 0x0713cc40,
  chips = 0,
  debuff = table: 0x071d8ab0,
  zoom = true,
  dark_colour = table: 0x0713b358,
  sound_pings = 2,
  chip_text = "0",
  role = table: 0x06fbc960,
  layered_parallax = table: 0x0713b1c0,
  FRAME = table: 0x0713a690,
  NEW_ALIGNMENT = true,
  shadow_height = 0.08999916553245,
  created_on_pause = false,
  RETS = table: 0x0713a2d8,
  states = table: 0x0713a6f0,
  hover_offset = table: 0x0713a4a8,
  last_moved = -1,
  pinch = table: 0x0713b0a0,
  name = "",
  children = table: 0x0713b220,
}

so stuff like name still has a value, but it's empty

[zealous glen]

Ah, I think that’s just the UI that slides in then

It’s just usually hidden

And the text and sprite is updated when needed

That’s what I would guess

[tepid crow]

yeah it's probably there to just paste the blind info on top of

so Thunk doesn't have to recreate* the UI element for it

[zealous glen]

Not only redefine but recreate it

[tepid crow]

yeah that's what I mean

[nocturne garnet]

this took SOOO long to make unlockable

[brisk rose]

I noticed you removed your config. Are you planning to re-add it and make it a toggle to unlock all?

[nocturne garnet]

removed my wut...

[paper hare]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/06.-SMODS.ConsumableType

Questions:
What is key?
How do I set up primary_colour and secondary_colour? Do I use hex codes, RGB, or something else?
Also, what’s the syntax for this? Is it this?

  [entries here]
}```

[brisk rose]

wait I'm getting mixed up I guess

[nocturne garnet]

i never had a config?

[brisk rose]

my bad

I remember now how I made that screwup

[nocturne garnet]

i would but i dunno how

i'll research it

[brisk rose]

yeah that'd be cool

[tepid crow]

You can look at steamodded's internals for that: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/d9693396dcd0333b7bba5d02691dc575999b6a05/core/game_object.lua#L893

most colours are G.C.[colour] btw, you can find those at globals.lua:333

[paper hare]

I do know how G.C.color works, but if I want a new color, do I just inject globals.lua using lovely?

I also don’t know what the difference between primary and secondary color is in this case

[tepid crow]

Have you looked at globals.lua yet?
No need to inject, if none of the colors balatro pre-defines are to your liking, you can create a new colour at any time using HEX('')

I unfortunately don't know when the primary/secondary colors get used either 🙃

[paper hare]

Oh, okay, so you can just use HEX (not the Spectral card)

[tepid crow]

yeah just HEX('0047AA') for example

[nocturne garnet]

i love making concepts that sound impossible

i will NEVER run out of ideas

[wintry solar]

I think the secondary colour gets added to the loc colours table and is used in the collection menu, I have no idea what the primary colour is used for

[zealous glen]

What is the new cooor for?

[nocturne garnet]

does anyone know how to add text to challenge descriptions?

something like Small Blinds dont have shops

[wintry solar]

yeah, primary colour is used in a single place which is never actually used because it pulls the secondary colour first

[nocturne garnet]

YESS

[regal wolf]

what are you trying to do?

[nocturne garnet]

more rules

for a challenge

[regal wolf]

like a custom challenge?

[nocturne garnet]

yes

i mean what else would it be

[dim nimbus]

is there a way i could have a joker only spawn in the shop if you already have a certain joker?

sort of like how golden ticket or steel joker works but it needs a joker and not an enhancement

[opal spade]

yes_pool

if joker has a yes_pool it'll spawn only if the pool flag for it is set to true

[wintry solar]

you can use in_pool too

[opal spade]

that too

idk why i forgot about in_pool

[dim nimbus]

would it work the same as enhancement_gate?

or at least similar to it

[opal spade]

in_pool is a function in your joker
if it returns true, joker can spawn, if it returns false, the joker cant spawn

so here it would be in_pool = function(self) return next(find_card(<key>)) end

[dim nimbus]

okay so in_pool is another function alright

[opal spade]

in_pool is a function you define within your joker

like calculate

[dim nimbus]

alright

[opal spade]

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

more on it here (although its a bit outdated)

[dim nimbus]

yeah the steammodded github is in general outdated

i wish there was a better balatro modding tutorial out there

[opal spade]

i think its still a useful resource for the stuff that it does cover

[nocturne garnet]

why is this crashing?????

no crash screen, just closes

[nocturne garnet]

i KNOW it has something to do with creating the card

but i dont know what

wait shit typo oops

[crisp coral]

have you considered that it runs for every context

[nocturne garnet]

yes, i have

[nocturne garnet]

nvm still crashes

[crisp coral]

yeah idk then

also don't reply ping

[nocturne garnet]

oops sorry

[dim nimbus]

hmm this doesnt seem to be working
i just have it as this

    in_pool = function(self)
        return next(find_card('baka'))
    end,

would i need a return function if its false as well or no?

[opal spade]

bad key

you need to give the full key

[dim nimbus]

oh so, mod name and all got it

[opal spade]

ye

[wintry solar]

I mean without seeing the full code, you can't expect people to help debug your stuff

[nocturne garnet]

it is the full code...

[wintry solar]

I mean you've said you know its the create card line that your screenshot snips off

so....

[nocturne garnet]

its supposed to store the sold joker's card's key and ability, and create it if it doesnt exist

[nocturne garnet]

it just has the key

which is just G.GAME.cardboard.key

on the 7th part of create_card

[crisp coral]

i don't see it ever removing G.GAME.cardboard.card

which means it is running for every context

[dim nimbus]

my mod name is sannyo, it should just be sann_baka right?

[wintry solar]

yeah that bottom block is going to run on every calculate

[crisp coral]

do you have a mod prefix set?

[wintry solar]

j_sann_baka assuming you havent defined a prefix

[crisp coral]

^

[nocturne garnet]

image had a typo, it should be like

 if G.GAME.cardboard and G.GAME.cardboard.key and not G.GAME.cardboard.card then ```

so if there is no G.GAME.cardboard.card, it spawns the card

instead of spawning the card if there is G.GAME.cardboard.card

[crisp coral]

and when are you removing G.GAME.cardboard.card exactly

[nocturne garnet]

its being removed when it saves and reloads 🥹

if it werent i would have just put it in the config

[crisp coral]

.

[nocturne garnet]

but what would it be running on said context??

what am i not getting

its supposed to not ever create the card unless there is no card

so it shouldnt ever spawn the card unless there is no card

am i being dumb

am i being blind

[dim nimbus]

still not working. the error im getting is that "find_card" is a nil value

    in_pool = function(self)
        return next(find_card('j_sann_baka'))
    end,

[wintry solar]

oh

[crisp coral]

if there is a card, there are no restrictions on when it will spawn the card

[wintry solar]

use SMODS.find_card()

[nocturne garnet]

the card doesnt exist....

its sold

[opal spade]

oops

[opal spade]

find card is for avilion

[dim nimbus]

okay, seems like it works!!!

[nocturne garnet]

ah oops sorry

[wintry solar]

your bottom block runs on EVERY context and just creates cards without putting them anywhere

[nocturne garnet]

its supposed to copy it tho

it should still exist if theres no cardarea

[wintry solar]

then why is it copying it endlessly

[nocturne garnet]

i dont know why its creating them endlessly!!!

[wintry solar]

because that block runs on every calculate call, and there's a lot of them

it's probably not the reason it crashes but you should stop that from happening regardless

[nocturne garnet]

Man.

now it just wont exist on reload

[zealous glen]

It probably needs a and not context.blueprint somewhere

Also calling the effect of a different card while selling a card and copying its effect might be tricky

And I think the calculate call of the created Joker might not exist for some reason

[opal spade]

feeling really stupid rn but how do i do dependencies again

upd: nvm i just missed one space

infinite fusions api now works

there's still at least 10 more that dont but let me have this one win

[loud citrus]

How dose the infinite fusion work?

[opal spade]

mechanically it just wraps different jokers into a single card
by default it doesnt have custom art or name and instead is just "infinifusion", with the jokers its made up of being shown on the side

in the screenshot are the first two custom artworks to test the api for that

[opal spade]

theoretically it works with any jokers, although current implementation is basic so i have a lot of things to fix

[nocturne garnet]

rate the challenge

[zealous glen]

Bunco had a Boss with a similar Shop Skipping effect

[nocturne garnet]

yeah, thats where i had the idea from

[tepid eagle]

small blinds dont have shops
big blinds dont have shops
boss blinds dont have shops
there are no shops
shops don't exist

[zealous glen]

The gaslighter

[rough furnace]

Disabled cards, run

[nocturne garnet]

i wonder how many people downloaded my mod

is there anything to check that on github?

[tepid crow]

there's https://github.com/art-muncher/Jimbo-s-Pack/graphs/traffic? available for owners only I believe

[rough furnace]

If you have releases this seems to exist https://qii404.me/github-release-statistics/ for people just cloning there's the github page > insights > traffic

[tepid crow]

seems uh... missing some stuff
EDIT: ugh, github's API doesn't support source only, that's unfortunate

[maiden phoenix]

That's the spirit

[nocturne garnet]

should i draw some sprites (i've been using the same placeholder for 20 years) or focus on adding more jokers

im hella bored rn

[nocturne garnet]

nvm i got a really funny idea

[nocturne garnet]

DAMOCLES IN BALATRO

[maiden phoenix]

The context.individual are killing your jokers

[rough furnace]

I can't wait to cryptid glitched that down and have oops all 6s

[frosty dock]

eh just rig it

[rough furnace]

Oh yeah

[spare elk]

instead of destroying all jokers it should just instantly set the blind size to infinity

[nocturne garnet]

does anyone know how to make a jokers loc_txt change??

i swear i used to be able to do it but now it doesnt work

[spare elk]

i have no idea what that means

[nocturne garnet]

i tried making a localization.lua, then setting the loc_txt of the joker to the loc_txt i want, then changing that loc_txt

i swear it used to work

but now it wont??

i dont know why??

[edgy reef]

loc_vars function should let you change the localization key

iirc

[frosty dock]

this

changing loc_txt never worked bc it's not directly tied to the localization table, it's just a copy

[still jacinth]

this might be really stupid, but how do i get a card to reference another card like it does with Marble Joker?

[rough furnace]

You can do so with the loc_vars function like so https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/JamMod/blob/master/Jokers.lua#L103 but with whatever key for what you want to reference

The adding to the info queue part

You can see another example here with adding jokers https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Cryptid/blob/9debd1c4887a8410a1f2a8975179cbc4dc4d6494/Items/M.lua#L89

[still jacinth]

i think i did something wrong (also why is there text above it, its an enhancement)

        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {
          key = 'dqck_derpyjoker', 
          set = 'Joker',
          config = { extra = { mult = 0, mult_mod = 1 } }
        }
        return { vars = { center.ability.extra } }
    end,```

idk if you need the prefix in the key but it didnt work without the prefix etiher

[brisk rose]

the code seems to be unrelated to the image?

unless there's 2 seperate questions

[wintry solar]

the name in the tooltip is a bug that hasn't been fixed yet

the key needs j_ infront of it too

[still jacinth]

oh

[brisk rose]

yeah all the other modded enhancements have it too

[still jacinth]

damn

[brisk rose]

it's just a cosmetic thing, nothing to worry about really

[still jacinth]

yeah

[brisk rose]

I also noticed that that familiar enhancements don't have 'card'

but the vanillia ones do

I guess i should mention that in the familiar thread

[still jacinth]

for some reason it says nil on both the mentions

[brisk rose]

you need to set up the loc stuff

[maiden phoenix]

Are you going to make this a +0 Mult?

Oh wait it's a scaler nvm

[wintry solar]

pretty sure its specific_vars = {vars = {blablabla}}

could just be specific_vars = {balbla}

[brisk rose]

This i think

but maybe they didn't do it right, idk

[wintry solar]

no it's not that

[brisk rose]

my b

[still jacinth]

it also works on the actual joker

just not on the reference

[wintry solar]

try just vars = {mult = 0, mult_mod = 1} in the infoqueue bit

wait no

vars = {0, 1}

[maiden phoenix]

Yea info_queue can't refer to a card value in loc_vars

Learned that the hard way

[still jacinth]

nope

[still jacinth]

?

[maiden phoenix]

If you want your vars to show up in info_queue you'd have to use this

Not sure why it doesn't work for you, can you show your bit of code?

[still jacinth]

        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {
          key = 'j_dqck_derpyjoker', 
          set = 'Joker',
          vars = { 0, 1 }
        }
        return { vars = { center.ability.extra } }
    end,```

[brisk rose]

also unless I'm missing something a lot of mods do just do this

[wintry solar]

you are missing something

[maiden phoenix]

using config instead of vars no?

[wintry solar]

this isn't for the main tooltip

[brisk rose]

oh nvm I see

I indeed missed the fact that it was a seperate tooltip

[rough furnace]

Shoidlnt it be specific_vars and not vars?

[still jacinth]

you mean specific_vars = { extra = { 0, 1 } }?

[rough furnace]

Not sure but if that doesn't work try removing the extra part

[still jacinth]

aha!

specific_vars = { 0, 1 } works

[narrow pollen]

...hm.

gotta love when you're trying to sift through the source to find something that just isn't turning up

[rough furnace]

What are you looking for?

[narrow pollen]

i was looking for the money payout of lucky cards, but it was just a PEBCAK issue.

of course i'm not going to find lucky_money if i'm searching for lucky_mult

[tepid crow]

is there a better way of telling a run is or isn't a challenge run than checking if G.GAME.challenge (defined as args.challenge.id within Game:start_run) exists?

[still jacinth]

now i cant find a way to change the enhancement of a card 😭

[tepid crow]

#💻・modding-dev message copies the enhancement of the first scoring card, and applies it to the other scoring cards

[still jacinth]

it just keeps giving me Oops! The game crashed: card.lua:297: attempt to index field 'config' (a nil value)

[tepid crow]

you need an "enhancement center"

[still jacinth]

i have no idea what that means

[tepid crow]

no worries, I didn't either at first (still don't)

this is Midas Mask's code for example

if self.ability.name == 'Midas Mask' and not context.blueprint then
    local faces = {}
    for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        if v:is_face() then 
            faces[#faces+1] = v
            v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_gold, nil, true)
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    v:juice_up()
                    return true
                end
            })) 
        end
    end
    if #faces > 0 then 
        return {
            message = localize('k_gold'),
            colour = G.C.MONEY,
            card = self
        }
    end
end

you can see where Thunk does the v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_gold, nil, true)

(you can find all the enhancements in game.lua:648-655)

does that help?

[narrow pollen]

so i'm having a bit of lovely trouble. do i have to use patches.regex if i'm attempting to find a line with curly brackets {} in it?

[wintry solar]

no

[still jacinth]

yes its no longer giving errors but im not sure the rest of my code is working lol

[narrow pollen]

ah, i figured out the problem

i have to take the line that i want from the balatro executable itself and not the lovely dump's version.

because apparently my mod's lovely file is loaded before steamodded's...?

idk, point is, i fixed it

[still jacinth]

im not exactly sure how enhancement calculations work

like i dont think any of my code is triggering in the enhancement calculations

[umbral zodiac]

very new to this, how would i check if the played hand is a flush in a joker's calculate function?

[narrow pollen]

if it is a flush, or if it contains a flush?

[umbral zodiac]

if it is a flush

[narrow pollen]

context.scoring_name == "Flush"

[umbral zodiac]

ahh

ty

[narrow pollen]

however

this will only trigger on flushes

not straight flushes, flush houses, or flush fives

[umbral zodiac]

yea i dont want it to trigger on other types of flushes

[narrow pollen]

fair

just making sure you understood

[umbral zodiac]

its a joker that gives mult buffs but randomizes the suit of played flushes

might change it to containing flushes later but i think its fine as only flushes

[narrow pollen]

and you want those "higher" hands to be exempt?

[umbral zodiac]

im kinda neutral on it, but im prolly just gonna keep it as flushes only for now

doesnt change too much either way

[narrow pollen]

yeah, that's fair

just make sure you word the description properly!

[umbral zodiac]

dont owryr i love semantics

i actually got no clue how i edit the cards played 😭

[narrow pollen]

that all said, uh... anyone know how to take ownership of a tarot? trying to get used to this newfangled SMODS logic after being out of the loop for... weeks...

[wintry solar]

whats your calculate function look like?

[tacit escarp]

if someone makes this i will literally drink water https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1289540009871016025

and lots of sincere thank yous

[umbral zodiac]

can someone help with this error? not sure what it's actually expecting since the description seems fine

nvm found it i forgot a comma lmao

[still jacinth]

        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            return {
                x_mult = card.ability.extra.xmult,
                colour = G.C.RED,
                card = card
            }
        end
        if context.after then
            if pseudorandom('copper') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra.odds then 
                card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_dqck_oxidized, nil, true)
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({

                        card:juice_up()
                        return true
                    end
                })) 
                return {
                    message = 'Oxidized!',
                    colour = G.C.GREEN,
                    card = card
                }
            end
        end
    end```

but whenever i put anything in there even without an if, it doesnt do anything

[wintry solar]

you can't return from enhancements

you have to add to the effect table

or use SMODS.eval_this

[still jacinth]

idk how to do any of that, but shouldnt the card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_dqck_oxidized, nil, true) still work since its not returning?

[wintry solar]

uhhh I guess so, yeah

[still jacinth]

like i just changed it to
card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_lucky, nil, true)
and put it at the top of the calculate and it does nothing

[wintry solar]

can you send your entire enhancement code?

[still jacinth]

    key = 'copper',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Copper Card',
        text = {
            'placeholder'

[wintry solar]

if you drop a sendDebugMessage in there, does it trigger?

[still jacinth]

just sendDebugMessage('test message')?

[wintry solar]

yeah that'll do

[wintry solar]

are you loading an old save to test or is it a fresh enhancement?

[still jacinth]

old save, ill load a new one

weirdly, it didnt do the debug message but it did turn it lucky like it is supposed to in the code

still not doing the changing to my enhancement (i removed the chance element)

[tepid crow]

make sure your steamodded minimum log level is set to trace?

[wintry solar]

is the key correct?

[still jacinth]

would it be m_dqck_oxidized?

also, i put some test messages in places after turning trace on, and its only sending a debug message before the if statements

[wintry solar]

oh

maybe enhancements don't call context.after

[still jacinth]

how do glass cards work then

[wintry solar]

glass cards aren't a modded item

[still jacinth]

ik but

dont they still use contexts

[wintry solar]

no

[still jacinth]

damn

[wintry solar]

you can lovely patch it though

that's what I do for an enhancement that has an after play effect

[still jacinth]

lovely patch?

[rough furnace]

A lovely patch lets you modify the games code. Take a look at https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#patches

[still jacinth]

is there an alternative to context.after besides patching

i also still dont even know how to add mult and stuff with enhancements

now its saying that card is a nil value 😭

it doesnt like me accessing self.ability.extra.xmult or card.ability.extra.xmult, how am i supposed to get the ability xmult??

[paper hare]

Can someone tell me why I'm getting the dreaded attempt to index field 'atlas' (a nil value) error when trying to open the collection page for Upgrades?

[still jacinth]

why did you send a zip

cant u just send ur code

[brisk rose]

Yeah just send the Lua file this is in

[paper hare]

upgrades:register()

SMODS.ConsumableType {
  key = 'Upgrade',
  collection_rows = { 5, 4, 4 },
  primary_colour = HEX('D97FCF'),
  secondary_colour = HEX('D97FCF'),
  loc_txt = {"Upgrades"},
  atlas = upgrades
}

SMODS.Consumable {
  key = 'mult_upgrade',
  set = "Upgrade",
  unlocked = true,
  discovered = true,
  pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
  loc_txt = {
    name = "Mult Upgrade",
    text = {"Upgrades {C:mult}Mult{} Jokers", "by one level"}
  },
  atlas = upgrades
}```
etc.

But there's definitely a problem in this code, because of `attempt to index field 'atlas' (a nil value)`

[brisk rose]

Though sending the whole mod makes sense too so people can test if they want

[still jacinth]

atlas = upgrades
shouldnt that be
atlas = "Upgrade"?

or wait

i might just be dumb lol

idk

[paper hare]

oh that works

[still jacinth]

yay

[paper hare]

but now I'm getting a different problem — the dreaded [ERROR] type and empty description.

[wintry solar]

you need to give it a loc_txt

[paper hare]

it already has one

  key = 'mult_upgrade',
  set = "Upgrade",
  unlocked = true,
  discovered = true,
  pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
  loc_txt = {
    name = "Mult Upgrade",
    text = {"Upgrades {C:mult}Mult{} Jokers", "by one level"}
  },
  atlas = "Upgrade"
}```

[wintry solar]

oh, and a loc_vars

[paper hare]

or does it have to be localize('text')?

[paper hare]

how exactly does loc_vars work?

[wintry solar]

end```

iirc, just adding that will make it work

I could be mistaken though

[still jacinth]

.

[wintry solar]

self.config.extra.xmult should work, or you can throw an if card then before the card one

[still jacinth]

i dont know why its still angry about card

i changed it to SMODS.eval_this(center, { x_mult = self.config.extra.xmult, message = {type = 'variable', key = 'x_mult', vars = {self.config.extra.xmult}} })

[wintry solar]

can you show the whole function again?

[still jacinth]

the enhancement or just the calc part?

[wintry solar]

the calc part and the config values

[paper hare]

unfortunately, this still didn't work

[still jacinth]

    config = {extra = { xmult = 3, odds = 4 },},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {
          key = 'j_dqck_derpyjoker', 
          set = 'Joker',
          specific_vars = { 0, 1 }
        }
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult, ''..(G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1), card.ability.extra.odds } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context, effect)
        sendDebugMessage('test 1')
        if context.cardarea == G.play then
            sendDebugMessage('test 2')
            SMODS.eval_this(center, {
                x_mult = self.config.extra.xmult,
                message = {type = 'variable', key = 'x_mult', vars = {self.config.extra.xmult}}
            })
        end
        if context.after then
            sendDebugMessage('test 3')
            card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_dqck_oxidized, nil, true)
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    card:juice_up()
                    return true
                end
            })) 
            return {
                message = 'Oxidized!',
                colour = G.C.GREEN,
                card = card
            }
        end
    end```

[wintry solar]

you should be able to replace the SMODS.eval_this with effect.x_mult = card.ability.extra.xmult

[still jacinth]

what

[wintry solar]

oh, add a and not context.repetition to the if statement

[still jacinth]

ok so now everything is working except for the changing into an oxidized card

oh wait

its not even being triggered 💀

[wintry solar]

whats not being triggered?

[still jacinth]

the stupid context.after

[wintry solar]

like I said earlier, context.after isn't sent to enhancements

[still jacinth]

yeah

so i have to figure out a different way to deal with that

[wintry solar]

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'functions/state_events.lua'
pattern = '''if destroyed then'''
position = 'before'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
if scoring_hand[i].config.center == G.P_CENTERS['m_'..Ortalab.prefix..'_sand'] and not scoring_hand[i].debuff then
    
end'''

this is the basis of the lovely patch you need for the glass card step

[still jacinth]

what do i do with that

[wintry solar]

.

oh fuck it's 3am, I should've been asleep ages ago

[still jacinth]

you should probably sleep

[wintry solar]

good luck with your lovely patching!

[paper hare]

Partially works now. The Upgrade showed up, but not the description text

upgrades:register()

SMODS.ConsumableType {
  key = 'Upgrade',
  collection_rows = { 5, 4, 4 },
  primary_colour = HEX('D97FCF'),
  secondary_colour = HEX('D97FCF'),
  loc_txt = {name = "Upgrade"},
  loc_vars = (function(self, info_queue, card) end),
  atlas = upgrades
}

SMODS.Consumable {
  key = 'mult_upgrade',
  set = "Upgrade",
  unlocked = true,
  discovered = true,
  pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
  loc_txt = {
    name = "Mult Upgrade",
    text = {"Upgrades {C:mult}Mult{} Jokers", "by one level"}
  },
  loc_vars = (function(self, info_queue, card) end),
  atlas = "Upgrade"
}```

[still jacinth]

should it be loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card) end, instead of loc_vars = (function(self, info_queue, card) end), or does that not matter?

[paper hare]

neither of these works

[still jacinth]

hm

not sure if this affects it but you didnt change the atlas in SMODS.ConsumableType to "Upgrade"

[paper hare]

no this is irrelevant

[still jacinth]

i cant think of anything that would be wrong with the loc_txt and loc_vars

[wintry solar]

This might sound stupid, but does the one you’re hovering over have a loc txt?

[paper hare]

it does

  key = "enhance_upgrade",
  set = "Upgrade",
  unlocked = true,
  discovered = true,
  pos = {x = 3, y = 1},
  loc_txt = {
    name = "Enhancement Upgrade",
    text = {"Upgrades {C:enhanced}Enhancements{}", "by one level"}
  },
  loc_vars = (function(self, info_queue, card) end),
  atlas = "Upgrade"
}```

for some reason name comes through, but not text

[still jacinth]

functions/common_events.lua:2924: attempt to index local 'cfg' (a nil value)```

im getting this for making my enhancement have a little reference tab thing

[wintry solar]

Maybe try single quotes rather than double?

[paper hare]

that didn't work either

[wintry solar]

I don’t know why it doesn’t work

Everything looks fine

[still jacinth]

have you made any other consumables of that type? if so, are their loc_txt's working?

[still jacinth]

and for some reason its only doing this when i reference the Oxidized Enhancmenet and not the Joker

[paper hare]

yes, and all of them are not working

[still jacinth]

thats so weird

the only thing i can think of currently that would make it not work is the loc_var and loc_txt on the consumable type, but i have no idea why that would affect the specific consumable so probably not

[still jacinth]

apparently it happens with any enhancement

[loud citrus]

I've been bashing my head against a wall trying to figure out how to make a config tab, if someone could make an example mod me and probably future people would be able to have a better understanding.

[brisk rose]

Just looking at how other mods do it isn't helping enough?

[paper hare]

I figured out the problem. I needed to add this line to generate_card_ui:

  localize{type = 'descriptions', key = _c.key, set = _c.set, nodes = desc_nodes, vars = specific_vars or {}}```

[loud citrus]

yeah, unlike other times i look to mods i'm completely lost

[surreal marsh]

how to win the blind in a joker's calculate function🤔 just copy win_blind causes this

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know what im doing wrong? still very new to this and i got no clue how to set it up properly

i just kinda copied how another mod seemed to work

[surreal marsh]

put a comma after end🤔

[umbral zodiac]

im very intelligent

do i really not need anything after the calculate function similar to how other entries need commas

[surreal marsh]

you need a comma

[umbral zodiac]

ah alr

when u sent that screenshot i thought you meant a comma after the atlas line 💀

[surreal marsh]

🤪

[umbral zodiac]

holy hell the game opens this is new and unheard of

[opal spade]

how do i fix children (floating_sprite/stickers/seals etc) of resized jokers?

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know why this is happening now? nothing should be different to other code that works

the scaling part works perfectly fine, but whenever i try to score a hand, it crashes

[opal spade]

do you have any other jokers

[umbral zodiac]

no i only had the one

[opal spade]

wait

i realized

your joker shouldnt return anything on certain contexts

[umbral zodiac]

oh lmao

[opal spade]

replace return with card_eval_status_text instead

[umbral zodiac]

yea maybe having it upgrade any time anything happened was a reckless idea

[opal spade]

for the scaling part

[umbral zodiac]

how do i use that? is it just doing card_eval_status_text = "zeepy zoop"

[opal spade]

it's in balatro's functions/common_events.lua

[umbral zodiac]

i do realize this makes no sense either way

[opal spade]

i think for your purpose it should be card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, percent, nil, <your current return table>)

although having your code do something for every context w/o any specification is not good in general

[umbral zodiac]

why have good ideas when u can have bad ideas

[nocturne garnet]

wtf man

[brisk rose]

corrupted png?

[opal spade]

no

[nocturne garnet]

i didnt change nothin

[opal spade]

that happens when steam is trying to cloud

[brisk rose]

twas a shitty guess

[nocturne garnet]

fuck you steam

okay wtf

[frosty dock]

iirc that's "not enough memory"

[zealous glen]

Did you fix it yet

[zealous glen]

This happens sometimes to me. I just open the game again

[opal spade]

nope

[zealous glen]

@opal spade I did it here, let me see if I can find how

It was for 0.9.8 and I haven’t ported it yet

[opal spade]

let me know if you find it

[zealous glen]

So you have to do the same thing you did for the main sprite

At least how I did it was by changing the sprite size inside set_ability

So I could have a wide Joker and a wide floating sprite

How are you doing it

[nocturne garnet]

rate my setup

[languid mirage]

you want to hide those or something else? otherwise you can do it manually. the same way you changed front sprite's dimensions

[nocturne garnet]

guys i need help

for more shit

[zealous glen]

That’s what I said 😭

[nocturne garnet]

for more ideas

[languid mirage]

didnt see your msg

[nocturne garnet]

whats the weirdest thing a card could change

[zealous glen]

Your mortgage

[languid mirage]

maybe something like this
self.children.floating_sprite.scale.y = self.children.center.scale.y

[opal spade]

this function runs at the end of set_sprites (args is a table of arguments collected within set_sprites as the game is trying to see whether it should use an existing joker sprite or go procedural)

    local H = G.CARD_H
    local W = G.CARD_W
    local scale = args.wee and 0.7 or 1
    if args.same_check then
        local same_center = G.P_CENTERS[same_check]
        if same_center.set_sprites and type(same_center.set_sprites) == 'function' then
            card.config.center = same_center
            card.ability = card.infinifusion[1].ability
            same_center.set_sprites(same_center, card, front)
            card.config.center = G.P_CENTERS['j_infus_fused']
            card.ability = card.ability_placeholder
            return nil
        end
        
        if same_check == 'j_half' then
            H = H/1.7
        end
        
        if same_check == 'j_photograph' then
            H = H/1.2
        end
    end
    
    if args.square then
        H = W
    end
    
    card.T.h = H*scale
    card.T.w = W*scale
    
    card.VT.h = card.T.h
    card.VT.w = card.T.w
    
    
    if args.same_check then
        if args.square then
            card.children.center.scale.y = card.children.center.scale.x
        end
        
        if same_check == 'j_half' then
            card.children.center.scale.y = card.children.center.scale.y/1.7
        end
        
        if same_check == 'j_photograph' then
            card.children.center.scale.y = card.children.center.scale.y/1.2
        end
    end
end```

[nocturne garnet]

right now it just gives random Xmult, mult, chips, randomizes ante or randomizes joker values

[opal spade]

for some reason no matter whan i do to the floating_sprite it just stays the way it is

[zealous glen]

I don’t think you need all that

Lemme paste my code

[opal spade]

most of the code there is to account it being procedural

[zealous glen]

This is all I had

0.9.8 formatting but still

[languid mirage]

where do you get the args from

ok I'm lbind

[zealous glen]

The important part is just defining set_ability

[opal spade]

https://github.com/SpaD-Overolls/BalatroInfiniteFusion/blob/main/infinitefusions.lua

[zealous glen]

Because the Joker only needs to be resized once anyways

[opal spade]

i updated the file so its at the current state i have it rn

[zealous glen]

and it's fine to resize it when setting the ability

[opal spade]

its within set_sprites which is run as a part of set_ability

[zealous glen]

This is how I discovered that the game creates new Jokers on load IIRC

Because it didn't make sense to me this would work

[nocturne garnet]

this joker is the funniest shit ever

naww

[zealous glen]

This doing it as I did and see if it works

I think an alternative procedural approach would be to allow width and height parameters in the object constructor and automatically append a resize to set_ability when constructing the Joker object

[opal spade]

wait

i think i realize what i have to do

nope

[zealous glen]

Try getting it to work in set_ability first

[opal spade]

im not sure why that would effect anything

[zealous glen]

I’m just saying my code worked so maybe try that one 😅

And it will be easier to make progress after getting something to work

[nocturne garnet]

rate my setup chat

why is this happening.........

why must i be this bad 😭

its crashing instead of randomizing a random joker

[opal spade]

wait

could it be the game undoing this

floating sprites don't resize for undiscovered booster packs, do they?

I'll need to check that when I get back

[surreal marsh]

yeah floating sprites don't resize

[languid mirage]

oh I thought you were using real sprite but with undiscovered texture

why would you even use vanilla undiscovered sprite?

[opal spade]

it's soul_pos floating sprite

like legendaries

[languid mirage]

ah

[wintry solar]

you can disable it

[opal spade]

is there no way to resize it to match?

[nocturne garnet]

why is it happening...

[wintry solar]

you probably can, but turning it off is super simple

on new undiscovered sprites at least

[opal spade]

it's not actually undiscovered, it's just taking the textures vanilla uses for undiscovered

it's a joker and it defaults to undiscovered texture if it can't find appropriate one

[wintry solar]

does it use the soul position to draw the floating sprite?

[opal spade]

yes

[wintry solar]

you should be able to patch card:draw to send a scale to the floating sprite rendering in that case

[opal spade]

thank you for the help, now that i noticed what was going on no wonder it didnt work

[zealous glen]

I think the solution I showed to resize floating sprites worked

[opal spade]

it did not but I think I know what to do to solve it now, just need to write the code

[zealous glen]

Hmmm

[zealous glen]

Ah, is the floating sprite the same file for all of them?

All resized sprites, I mean

[opal spade]

ok the solution didnt work so ig it's time to break out the lovely patches

[zealous glen]

Mine was made with the same size of the Joker sprite

I remember while trying to make it work, there was some setting to scale the sprite such that it had the correct size, but with stretching of course

Since I made my sprite the correct size, I didn’t want it

So maybe that’s what missing from my solution?

[opal spade]

the floating sprite is on a different atlas which i change as a part of my set_sprite code, but all the resizing happens after that

[zealous glen]

But it’s the same sprite all the time

That does put some limitations on what you can do

[opal spade]

tbh i dont understand what you mean
if you mean "joker soul_pos uses the same atlas as joker's pos", then while yes, thats the normal behaviour, my set_sprites changes the floating_sprite's atlas to be different so i can use vanilla's atlases (and vanilla separates undiscovered joker body with undiscovere joker float)

[zealous glen]

No I’m not talking about a single Joker’s sprite

I’m talking about different Jokers

Since you’re automating it, I imagine you only have a single floating sprite

[zealous glen]

If a Joker’s sprite is larger than the floating sprite’s atlas, I imagine you’d run into problems if you were trying to cut the texture atlas into the same dimensions

[opal spade]

what i think i'll do is remove my joker's soul_pos and instead create the floating sprite myself, then patch it's drawing as a separate chunk of code

[zealous glen]

That feels unnecessarily complicated

[opal spade]

i failed to get this to work so for now i'll just disable floatie for resized sprites

[wintry swallow]

I really do wish mod support came to mobile, hopefully in the future, who watches skootie lite on YT, Cryptid mod is sooooooo overpowered

[opal spade]

moderators said no 😔

modding mobile is illegal

[brisk rose]

illegal is (fortunately) an overstatement, unless you didn't mean literally

[opal spade]

didnt mean it literally im just silly

[brisk rose]

lol you good

I just know some people actually believe that it is or might be, so just checkin

[hardy viper]

it's not like you can't do it you just can't talk about it here

[brisk rose]

tbh this is one of the reasons why we should have a seperate purly community modding server.

[outer jungle]

is there a easy way for a deck to give you a joker at the start of a run?

[brisk rose]

yes, sdm-0 has decks that do that

[opal spade]

split the bottom line of the joker description

[nocturne garnet]

yeah

Do you still do tghe state check?

probably have to do somethibng like semicolon here https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Cryptid/blob/main/Items/CodeCards.lua#L294-L311

[crisp coral]

instead of sleeping I've been thinking of a way to have multiple blinds active at once but the more i think about it the more impossible it seems thanks to the removal of the blind parameter from Steamodded blind objects

fml

never liked that change and now it's come to bite my ass

it was removed because the only thing that would be passed through the blind param is G.GAME.blind but now i need it to only affect like blinds[1] and nope that's not an option anymore

ok enough ranting back to sleep

[mellow sable]

Couldn’t you do what Obsidian Orb does?

Although it’s technically not multiple blinds, just a blind with multiple abilities

[nocturne garnet]

[rough furnace]

which line is 375 in partcitular

[outer jungle]

local card = Card(_T.x, _T.y, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, G.P_CARDS.empty, G.P_CENTERS[joker],{discover = true, bypass_discovery_center = true, bypass_discovery_ui = true, bypass_back = G.GAME.selected_back.pos })

[maiden phoenix]

You don't need add_joker at the bottom

If you want to test a joker in game use DebugPlus

[outer jungle]

okay

[outer jungle]

Yeah but i stll can't fix this issue

[maiden phoenix]

You might want to remove this line SMODS.Sprite:new("MysticJoker.png",

Not sure what its doing there

[outer jungle]

okay, but how do i give the joker a sprite?

[hearty mesa]

use SMODS.Atlas

[maiden phoenix]

You have to create an Atlas object and refer your joker to said atlas

[hearty mesa]

for example SMODS.Atlas { key = "jokeratlas", -- atlas name path = "jokeratlas.png", -- atlas file px = 71, -- width of each joker sprite, in pixels py = 95 -- height of each joker sprite, in pixels }

[outer jungle]

okay thanks let me try that :)

[maiden phoenix]

And then in your Joker you must add atlas: [atlas_key]

(without the [ ])

[outer jungle]

still crashes with the same error

do i add the joker wrong?
add_joker("j_mystic", nil, true, false)

[tepid crow]

is there any particular reason you want to use add_joker instead of any of the debug tools btw?

[outer jungle]

yeah i want to make a deck that starts with a joker, it works fine with unmodded cards but crashes when i try to add my own card

[tepid crow]

ah, I see

[outer jungle]

The current code

SMODS.Atlas {
  key = "mysticjoker", -- atlas name
  path = "MysticJoker.png", -- atlas file
  px = 71, -- width of each joker sprite, in pixels
  py = 95 -- height of each joker sprite, in pixels
}

SMODS.Joker {
  key = 'j_mystic',
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Golden Joker 2',
    text = {
      "Earn {C:money}$#1#{} at",
      "end of round"
    }
  },
  config = { extra = { money = 4 } },
  rarity = 1,
  atlas = "mysticjoker",
  cost = 6,
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = { card.ability.extra.money } }
  end,
  calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
    local bonus = card.ability.extra.money
    if bonus > 0 then return bonus end
  end

}

[tepid crow]

no need to add j_ to your key

steamodded will do that for you

then that key will be transformed to j_[mod prefix]_mystic iirc

[outer jungle]

okay good to know

okay i try that

i changed the prefix to xaver with --- PREFIX: xaver in the steamodded header

[tepid crow]

sounds good

[outer jungle]

and use add_joker("j_xaver_mystic", nil, true, false) to add the joker

but there is still the error

functions/common_events.lua:375: attempt to index a nil value

Finally. I managed to fix the crash, thanks to everyone who took the time to help me out

Now everything works as aspected

[loud citrus]

so i'm editing a sticker from another mod and i was trying to exclude it from having rental and itself at the same time, am i incorrectly referring to rental because all of my other changes worked.

[frosty dock]

might just be an order of operations thing. stickers currently don't natively support being incompatible with each other in steamodded

basically rental doesn't care about applying after your sticker

[loud citrus]

huh, is there a way i can wait until after rental then?

[umbral zodiac]

how can i make a joker destroy itself?

[maiden phoenix]

Look at how food jokers does it

[umbral zodiac]

ah i see

[neon ridge]

hello wonderful people can someone teach a brotha how to make mods to this game, made a mod for tboi once, other than that im blind

[loud citrus]

look at steamodded

it has recourses

but it's hard if you don't know the rules of lua

[narrow pollen]

i think "gain chips" instead of "gain mult"

maybe "Gain chips equal to 100% of all chip values and 500% of all other values"

[loud citrus]

you guys know the special website for displaying mod content? how do i make one of my own?

[crisp coral]

i specifically want multiple separate blinds

[zealous glen]

How would that work?

[crisp coral]

so no oo ain't cutting it

[zealous glen]

Because I'm not sure I see how one Blind with multiple abilities is different from multiple Blinds

[crisp coral]

separate score

[zealous glen]

How do you score separately?

[crisp coral]

why do you ask so many questions when it can't even work in theory

[zealous glen]

I mean, I'm trying to understand what you want to understand why it won't work

I don't know if it works in theory or not if I don't know what it even is

[crisp coral]

.

sorry if i'm coming out as rude, but i'm still very frustrated

[zealous glen]

I already read that message

It didn't clarify anything

[crisp coral]

that's all you need to know why it won't work

[zealous glen]

No, that's what I need to know for why a specific implementation of [something] won't work

But I still don't know what [something] is

[crisp coral]

because steamodded blinds always affect G.GAME.blind, instead of its own blind instance

so it will never work

[zealous glen]

I feel like this conversation isn't progressing

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know what this error actually means? the curly braces are seemingly fine (yes there is an ending curly brace at the bottom, screenshot couldnt fit it)

[zealous glen]

There's probably a wrong number of brackets

or there's something else putting a bracket out of scope

[tepid crow]

https://github.com/notmario/balatrowebsitetemplate I believe

[tepid crow]

you forgot a comma on line 81(?), name = "nia-watcher"

[umbral zodiac]

going mentally insane

ty

i really need something to alert me of my stupid commas 😭😭😭

[tepid crow]

if that ever happens again just start cutting into your own code

isolate it to a couple of lines and it'll be way easier to spot (though to be fair, the error gave you the 3 lines it happened on)

[crisp coral]

actually it could still work if the blind "switches" during blind effects but that's really messy. hm.

[zealous glen]

As I said, it was a scope issue

[zealous glen]

do you want help or do you want to think out loud

[crisp coral]

if you do have a solution then you can chime in

[zealous glen]

Again I can't make a suggestion unless I know what you want to do

So far you've only talked about how you want to do something

The only what I know is that there would be multiple scores

which isn't a lot because there's no word on what a player does to score multiple scores and the relationship between them and progressing the game state

Is it like Pokémon where you select a move (hand to play) for each Pokémon (Blind), and only after selecting a move (hand to play) for each it processes what happens?

And so you have a copy of your deck for each Blind?

I guess we will never know

[umbral zodiac]

is there a way to check if a joker is being viewed in the collection

rn it crashes the game since there isnt exactly a deck to view in the main menu

[mellow sable]

I think you can check what type of card area it is in

But for this sort of thing you should probably check if there is a deck to view

[umbral zodiac]

so more like if G.deck

or would that not work

[mellow sable]

That should work

[umbral zodiac]

yay it works

ty

[mellow sable]

yw

[crisp elbow]

Dearth?

[umbral zodiac]

diamonds and hearts plus an h at the end for fun

[still jacinth]

is there a way to get the amount of seconds spent in the current ante, similar to Cryptid's The Clock and Lavender Loop? i tried looking at the code for it in Cryptid but i dont really understand any of it

[mellow sable]

You basically have to set a timer right when the ante starts

Hook Game:update(dt) - that dt is what you add to your timer

Cryptid’s is much more complex because it’s using that dt to calculate the blind size instead of putting it in a timer

[still jacinth]

so how do i set a timer when the ante starts

[mellow sable]

Hook ease_ante probably

[still jacinth]

i dont know how to hook lol

[limpid wing]

What is the name of the save editor?

[still jacinth]

i think it might be Brainstorm

nah i think im wrong

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know why using card_eval_status_text like this is causing the text to appear in the top left corner of the screen?

like its up here for some reason

[mellow sable]

I think you can just find it by googling balatro save editor

[mellow sable]

Try changing self to card

[umbral zodiac]

oh alr

[limpid wing]

Ok, its not for me, its for someone who its save file got corrupted

[umbral zodiac]

developer art is best art 🔥

[limpid wing]

Joker Sample Text

[umbral zodiac]

we need jorkem ipsum 🔥

how badly corrupted?

[tepid crow]

Oh. That's not corrupted, that's just gone

[mellow sable]

[limpid wing]

And hello world joker when?

[mellow sable]

For Cryptid that should be like a code card related joker

[umbral zodiac]

plaese oh please 🙏 i need MORE POINTERS MORE POINTERS

i have a problem

[mellow sable]

I imagine something like creating code cards then self destructing

[limpid wing]

If else card

[mellow sable]

That’s already planned

[tepid crow]

didn't someone make a joker with a whole codeblock in it

like a complete if-else statement

[umbral zodiac]

alternate idea

creates a consumable that doesnt show what it is at all

but it is a random consumable

[mellow sable]

-# by the way if we want to be strict about the Latin requirement, it would be called Dolorem Ipsum

[limpid wing]

New M joker name idea

Iocosa scurra its jolly joker in latin

[umbral zodiac]

waiter waiter !! more m jokers

[mellow sable]

iocosa balatro

(Balatro is another translation of joker in Latin)

[limpid wing]

Nice name lore

[orchid thunder]

I had. A sheet me and my friend made and I was going to try to make an exotic based of a very similar name but i never go around to creating an idea and though it would be too much since we already had 1 M exotic

[limpid wing]

When the electricity comes on, the first thing I will do will be a manual backup of my save file, which I was already afraid of happening to me XD

[tepid crow]

I've actually started doing that myself too lol

Actually helped me out recently when I accidentally overwrote my normal save file by starting the game with mods like talisman

[lament zealot]

I've got a spit-bally idea for another M Joker (that could be Exotic, or Legendary if it's too weak), that's a reference to another game, in case y'all want to see it.

[orchid thunder]

Sure I'll take a look

[umbral zodiac]

how can you create a custom joker rarity?

[hardy viper]

you have to do it yourself, i suggest taking code from Cryptid or using the library i eventually release when i figure out how to properly influence shop pools

[umbral zodiac]

ah

[hardy viper]

there's a custom rarity fork of steamodded but it doesn't really work and seems to be more of a complete rework of rarities which isn't really necessary

there's a chance it gets refined and perfected and merged into steamodded but i don't see it happening very soon

[umbral zodiac]

then i might hold off for now and just make my op ideas weaker and legendaries

[edgy reef]

wdym it doesn't work?

You sound like the first person to test the PR besides me.

So I am intrigued.

🤔

[brisk rose]

I mean. There doesn't really seem to be any existing steamodded api to deal with rarities so idk what it'd be a complete rework of

Cryptid seems to make their own globals for their rarities

And uses a lovely patch to get them to display

The only snods function I see involved is insert_pool

[edgy reef]

Cryptid also did some hooks which are converted to injections.

technically rarities were heavily messed with but vanilla rarity logic was super hardcoded.

And even then it doesn't turn into that much

I'll go mess with it rq

[brisk rose]

So yeah it seems like any changes made to how rarities work were just to make a custom rarity api possible at all

[opal spade]

apparently infinifusion crashes at engine/particles.lua when being materialized through ankh and im completely stumped with what i could do to avoid it because of how low level its going
nvm it was because there was no rarity

[edgy reef]

Wait I think I did screw something up one sec

Or did I not...

Ok I was hallucinating

But from some quick testing it does work as intended and the rate normalization math checks out, so I'm not sure what's broken about it.

[brisk rose]

I presume, so as to not needlessly break every single existing modded joker, that the indices will still work for vanilia rarities

[edgy reef]

Yea

There's some backwards compat between int/string rarities for vanilla rarities so on paper both should function the same.

[brisk rose]

makes sense

[loud citrus]

so i can't refer to jokers like consumables, so i'm wondering how would i in this case?

[brisk rose]

betmma just made a joker that works as a consumable

check their code

[edgy reef]

Ok I do need to double check if all rarity-specific stuff works as I broke The Soul

[loud citrus]

what i'm trying to do is check the consumables the same way abstract joker checks jokers

[brisk rose]

oh I see

there are jokers that can do that too

there's one in ortalab

that gains chips for both consumables and jokers

[loud citrus]

thank you! ill check that out right now :)

[brisk rose]

np :3

[brisk rose]

https://github.com/GauntletGames-2086/Ortalab-DEMO/blob/test/Objects/Jokers/Joker LuaList/Art Gallery.lua
it's this one if you're having trouble finding it

the newer dev version probably has it in 1.0 format but it's not public

nvm

i guess the old demo was ported

I just kinda presumed it wasn't

[loud citrus]

thank you so much, you really go the extra mile to help

[brisk rose]

no worries :3

[edgy reef]

just fixed it I think

[loud citrus]

we where just taking about your mod i think

[brisk rose]

would you mind testing with https://ptb.discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1264396691365302364?

it's one of my favorite non-content (as in no new cards) mods and relies a lot on specific rarities

[edgy reef]

hmm, sure

[brisk rose]

(though boosters are definitely content and i wouldn't be surprised if the game treats them as 'cards' too, lol)

[edgy reef]

All the non-mod specific rarities work (Epic Pack would need to have the rarity set to "cry_epic" instead of 1).

Exotic already uses a string so it's fine

[brisk rose]

kinda surprised it works even now, lol. I don't use cryptid though so it's not an issue for me

glad it works for what i'd use

[loud citrus]

i remember talking about this with someone but i don't know how to get this code to overwrite the code of abstract joker

[brisk rose]

shouldn't your mod take prescedence if it has a negative priority? or does it need to be positive to take ownership of the object in the first place? (totally spitballing as a non-modder)

(it's probably not how priorities work)

[loud citrus]

so basically i turn a vanilla object into my modded one, it still has all of the same code but i can mess with it

[brisk rose]

yes that's take_ownership right?

[loud citrus]

here overwriting delayed grat was easy because i know how to do this kind of return because it's not much code

but with bigger blocks i have no idea how to return it

[brisk rose]

does returning it the same way as if it was a from-scratch joker not overwrite the original code?

[loud citrus]

so returning simply sends back the information, and because i'm using the same function as the original code the info sent back goes over the original, that's why text that needs to update constantly or any value, uses return

[brisk rose]

I mean wouldn't it still work the same way on abstract then? return the mult and it goes over the original?

afaik the variable you're returning is what makes the difference, not how you calculate it

the original code still running and being ignored seems like it's probably a non-issue

though as I said I quite literally have no idea what I'm talking about, lol

tbh I'd think your calculate function would run instead of the original anyway

[loud citrus]

so this is what i'm returning, what's confusing me is that this should do the trick but abstract isn't acting as my modded version but vanilla, i don't know if my code works because the value isn't behaving like my code.

[brisk rose]

your return isn't in the calculate function that I can see

at least your ide doesn't seem to think so. I suck at counting "ends"

[loud citrus]

no it is

[brisk rose]

oh I was missing the very outer line that must be there

my b

[loud citrus]

also i'm trying out returning other things

see if it works

[brisk rose]

actually no, your ide is parsing it as 2 seperate functions. Calculate ends before return starts

[loud citrus]

this is how i think it works out

wait my ends are in bad spots

[brisk rose]

(the whole point of the lines the ide draws is so you don't have to guess, lol)

they are faint with your color theme, but there

[loud citrus]

well notpad++ doesn't track ends properly sometimes and i would be lying if i said i had the whole picture but in drawing i was able to see and fix a big issue

[brisk rose]

fair enough

I didn't even know np++ had that sort of ide-like feature at all

I wonder what there is on linux that's between a plain text editor and a full-fat ide

[lime sierra]

neovim

There's a lot actually in the style of NP++

Kate honestly is a pretty good balance

[brisk rose]

I mean most default linux text editors mostly get there tbh

xed is what comes with mint and it has things like highlighting for specific languages, line numbers, and some other things. Though it doesn't seem about to show the bounds of a function with lines in the margin like that

which would be useful

[hearty mesa]

hi hello I am trying to make a joker that destroys itself and it crashes at end of round and i have no idea why

        if context.end_of_round and not context.game_over and not context.repetition then
            G.GAME.joker_buffer = G.GAME.joker_buffer - 1
            Q(Event({ -- jenlib my beloved
                fc = function()
                    for i=1,2 do
                        -- insert function to create a card here
                        -- there is a function here in my code i
                        -- just omitted it because it's long
                    end
                    G.jokers:remove_card(card)
                    card:remove()
                    card = nil
                end
            }))
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, { message = "Split!" })
        end
    end```

[hearty mesa]

oh nvm i figured it out, you just need to remove the G.GAME.joker_buffer = G.GAME.joker_buffer - 1 line

[frosty dock]

at a glance, shouldn't fc be func?

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know why this joker does literally nothing? tried to copy dna's code but just make it work on the whole hand and it doesnt seem to do anything

no crashes, joker exists perfectly fine, its just nothing happens

[frosty dock]

pretty sure hands_played gets incremented somewhere in that sequence

try including 1

classic oboe

[umbral zodiac]

ok well i tried something else that dupes cards and now theres just certain cards that are literally invisible

[brisk rose]

How do I fix this crash?

Keep in mind DeFused is still a 0.98 mod

[brisk rose]

yeah that happens if yu don't delete (or make I guess) cards a certain way

they're unselectable too right?

[umbral zodiac]

i dont know if theyre selected in the first place tbh but

i would assume so, since my joker was supposed to duplicate every played card

and it was duping cards i didnt think i had played

[brisk rose]

hmm... not sure what to reccomend that you reference. Mika's Mod has a joker that duplicates all played cards in the winning hand but the code is probably not too useful for modern steamodded stuff because it's a pretty old mod

[umbral zodiac]

do u keep everydetail of every balatro mod in your mind

[brisk rose]

lol, I just play /a lot/ of modded balatro

and have over 900 jokers in my game

[umbral zodiac]

either way i just decided to scrap that part of the joker and replace it with: discards now destroy all discarded cards, gain a death card for each discarded card

though i may actually make it give cryptid cards so u can make 1 bajillion cards u like

[crisp coral]

directly destroying cards in calculate_joker does that

[umbral zodiac]

funny

what file is create_card in i want to know how it works

[crisp coral]

misc_functions.lua

[umbral zodiac]

i found it in common_events

[maiden phoenix]

Check if context.full_hand exists first

[maiden phoenix]

for this

[brisk rose]

how do I do that? (this isn't originally my code, I have no experience modding balatro for real yet. Just frankensteining together existing jokers)

[crisp coral]

close enough

[umbral zodiac]

i figured out how to make it work even though i actually probably did it very stupiodly

[umbral zodiac]

i still have the invisible cards so ya seems like im deleting them wrong

idk what the right way is all im doing is this

[maiden phoenix]

if context.full_hand then, don't forget the end

Should be put around the CheckForFaces block

[brisk rose]

like this? or more or less of it?

[maiden phoenix]

Im blind I can't see what you changed in your code

[umbral zodiac]

that indentation hurts me

im so sorry

[brisk rose]

posted the wrong picture

sorry

[maiden phoenix]

Keep the CheckForFaces = true above the if line

[brisk rose]

ah yeah that might be why it's not crashing but also not doing anything atm

[maiden phoenix]

I'm not sure if context.full_hand exists with context.other_joker

[brisk rose]

works now :3 thank you

and I managed to do that troubleshooting in the middle of a run, while winning the blind in question, lol

[maiden phoenix]

uhm maybe you should try on a new run

[brisk rose]

see if it crashes again?

because now it's functioning and not crashing

[maiden phoenix]

If you modify a modded joker and continue your run it will keep the the old modded joker data

[brisk rose]

it.... did not seem to

it behaved differently whenever i changed the code

I restarted the game ofc

[maiden phoenix]

Huh

Well if it works 🤷

[brisk rose]

I don't think that it stores the code anywhere but the lovely dumps, which it regenerates every time you boot the game

so afaik it couldn't reuse the old code if it wanted to

maybe i'm way off

[umbral zodiac]

what if you wanted to make a good looking balatro mod but god said "you must have an upscaled version of your cards"

[brisk rose]

in any case I'll try it on a clean run before I release the fix publicly

[brisk rose]

just do nearet neighbor, no need to actually make them higher res

i'm not even sure the official jokers do

[umbral zodiac]

wdym

[brisk rose]

as long as it's integer scaling the pixels stay square

[brisk rose]

it's a scaling algorithm

that doesn't interpolate really

it's good for integer scaling pixel art

[umbral zodiac]

no im just saying i dont like the process of adding new great art and then having to make another version of the file

[brisk rose]

oh you're lazy

[umbral zodiac]

i dont really mind how its upscaled too much

[brisk rose]

i get it

i am too

lol

[umbral zodiac]

yea lmao

i make my jokers for INSTANT gratification

i turned off pixel art smoothing and Bro what

[brisk rose]

TBH you could make a python script that does it in one click

[umbral zodiac]

truee

[brisk rose]

just restart the game

[umbral zodiac]

done turned my jokers into a puzzle 🙏

[brisk rose]

it's normal for it to do that

it's a vanillia bug I think

or smodded

[umbral zodiac]

"lets see you take a crack at it smart guy!"

[umbral zodiac]

yea no its still like that

[brisk rose]

also, what? I know fuck is blocked in some contexts but I don't get this one

[umbral zodiac]

i feel like joe biden rn

[opal spade]

you can press M to reload atlases

[maiden phoenix]

Tbh it looks like the jokers have the wrong sprite size

[umbral zodiac]

yea no theyre just like that now

theyre just a big puzzle

[maiden phoenix]

The spritesheet in your x1 folder needs to be half the size of the one in x2

[brisk rose]

yeah it's not the normal no-restart texture bug then

[umbral zodiac]

you see i d

ont like spritesheets

so i think abouyt them as little as possible

[maiden phoenix]

Still your images needs to have the proper dimensions

[umbral zodiac]

ill deal with it when i decide my mod should be mid tier quality at best

[crisp coral]

to f

[brisk rose]

ah I see

trying to block verb use, lol

[languid mirage]

smods, it doesnt happen in vanilla

[languid mirage]

it's because of to

[hardy viper]

vanilla rarity system

[crisp coral]

what's the parameters for "hide button if condition is not met"

i forgor

wait im an idiot

[wintry swallow]

I really wish mods was on mobile, games like btd6 luck be a landlord and balatro are more fun with mods, arent they?

[frosty dock]

just play on steam and relay that to your phone somehow? pretty sure that's possible

[opal spade]

on my way to make gaycoonie's defused fork of fusion jokers fusable again

[maiden phoenix]

Omw making evolutions of fused defused fusions of jokers

[brisk rose]

defuses your metafusions

[limpid flint]

What

[opal spade]

idk if i'll actually go through the effort of coding in fusion/defused jokers into the main mod, but the api for that will be there

[stiff locust]

lmao

[opal spade]

werent you also making a fusion mod

i can add built-in support for it later if you want

[maiden phoenix]

I know it's usually hard to have 2 of the same joker, but what if fusing 2 of the same joker that can evolve fuses into their evolution? 🤔

[opal spade]

absolutely possible

when i finish this update all you'll need to do is just add an optional dependecy file to register them as SMODS.InfiniFusion objects

[opal spade]

the update is out

[nocturne garnet]

what if

[maiden phoenix]

Spectral?

[nocturne garnet]

[nocturne garnet]

HELL YES

rate my setup

[opal spade]

why decimals

[nocturne garnet]

thats the joker effect

+, *, - or / -2.25 to 3.25 to all values

[crisp coral]

is that just misprint deck on a joker

[nocturne garnet]

[opal spade]

[crisp coral]

math.ceil prolly exists

[nocturne garnet]

[ebon blade]

hi, so im working on this idea https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1280991980574216192
and i need help from someone who knows what they are doing with lua to make a data base or an api or at least a base source of basic joker functions so i can add those to code blocks in a scratch like tool (i chose to make the menu not ingame)

im making the tool itself, i just dont know lua or balatro modding by itself

if anyones intrested in helping

[cobalt surge]
