[mental nacelle]

this is what it looks like now

function Card:set_edition(edition, immediate, silent)
    local run = true
    if edition then
    if (edition == "e_foil" or edition.foil) and G.GAME.modifiers.no_foil_jokers and self.ability.set == "Joker" then
        self:juice_up(0.5)
        run = false
    end
    if run then
        return set_edition_ref(self, edition, immediate, silent)
    end
end
end```

juice up is just there to show when it happens

(even if it returns a crash for juice_up, it's detected a foil card)

checked using a ton of buffoon tags and a foil tag, i am not able to get a foil joker in any way
thank you so much for your help Larswijn

[tepid crow]

I probably should've looked at steamodded's overwrites earlier lol

[long roost]

In that case I'll see if I can add in a clause for a Talisman-compatible implementation of Stirling's Approximation

[tepid crow]

Never heard of it before, but Talisman might support all the operations I see on wikipedia

so that might work yeah

[mental nacelle]

checking if this is compatible with Bunco for curiosity, so far seems good

definitely works

using a Foil tag, the faceless joker stays editionless (price changes but that's easily preventable)

[tepid crow]

shouldn't you prevent the foil tag at that point? 🤔

[mental nacelle]

yeah, the challenge would have foil tags disabled

just wanted to be rigorous with the testing

added the other mod i'm working on and got foil jokers
(i was in a normal red deck run)

this isnt a problem with the code its just 2:30am

[long roost]

Alright, the comparison I'm using to split the cases doesn't seem to be functioning properly, when I play a hand with 4 base mult I end up with 23.5 rather than the expected 24

local function fact (n)
  if n == 0 then n = 1
  else
    for i = 2, n-1 do
      n = i*n
   end
  end
  return n
end

local function stirling (n)
  if n < Big:new(171) then
    return fact(to_number(n))
  else
    return n^n * 1/(math.exp(1)^n) * math.sqrt(2*math.pi*n)
  end
end

[tepid crow]

you can just do if type(n) == "number" then

at least, I'm assuming that'll work

[long roost]

I'll test that out, the 171 is so that the factorial result itself doesn't exceed the integer limit (171! > 2^1024)

[tepid crow]

ugh unless even e.g. 1 is a fancy little table

[long roost]

It seems to be, regrettably

[tepid crow]

yeah, makes sense actually

[mental nacelle]

would the id for a modded edition be "e_(prefix)_(name)"?

[tepid crow]

weird, I don't see why n < Big:new(171) wouldn't work

[tepid crow]

yeah, should be

[long roost]

Yea I'm at a loss as well

[mellow sable]

to_big()?

[topaz sun]

Can someone help me figure out why this code is crashing the game? I've been scratching my head for half an hour now. It' probably gonna be something simple and I'm gonna look real stoopid, but I must know. It started crashing after i added the return{ } that I had forgotten in the context.joker_main part

    key = "whitepony",
    name = "White Pony",
    atlas = 'maggitsjokeratlas',
    pos = {
        x = 0,
        y = 1,
    },
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 6,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    config = {
        extra = { mult = 3, mult_gain = 2 }        
    },
    loc_txt = {
        name = "White Pony",
        text = {"{C:mult}+#1#{} Mult",
                "Doubles each Ante"}
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.mult_gain}
        }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
            }
        end
        if context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint and not context.repetition and G.GAME.blind.boss then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult * card.ability.extra.mult_gain
            return {
                message = 'Upgraded!',
                colour = G.C.MULT,
                card = card
            }
        end
    end
}```

[ebon blade]

can you send the crash log?

main chunk of file 'maggitsmod.lua' at line 17 (from mod with id maggitsmod)

check line 17 you mightve forgot a ; or smthn

[topaz sun]

line 17 of "maggitsmod.lua" is simply NFS.load(SMODS.current_mod.path .. 'jokers/whitepony.lua')()
referencing the joker I'm editing, which is this code here

[ebon blade]

also i suggest deleting that since there may or may not be personal info in it, i thought you would send the balatro crash log not the lovely

can you send the full code? not just the joker itself, because you mightve forgot something in the header, or the atlas

[topaz sun]

Oh, I didn't realize

Thanks for the heads up

[ebon blade]

yeah dw

np

[topaz sun]

Okay, one sec

[topaz sun]

full code

[ebon blade]

can you try putting the assets folder in the joker folder then launching the game?

[topaz sun]

will do

[ebon blade]

does it run now?

[topaz sun]

yup, crash

[ebon blade]

oh

does it say anything different?

[topaz sun]

same stuff

it's something to do with the whitepony.lua file

[ebon blade]

1 sec lemme have a look at smthn

for reference from my stuff

[topaz sun]

whenever I add this return{} part, it starts crashing

[ebon blade]

does the joker white pony appear without it?

[topaz sun]

I think I removed lines 31 and 34 it in the file for the sake of not crashing

[topaz sun]

but if you add them back the way they're here, it'll crash

[topaz sun]

without the file? no

[ebon blade]

no, without the return

[topaz sun]

oh, it does

but it doesnt work, no mult added

[ebon blade]

i see

whats card = card supposed to do?

[opal spade]

within return its supposed to be info for stuff like retriggers, but it's not needed in most contexts

[topaz sun]

According to the steamodded example mod tutorial it's required when you have a scaling joker like this

That's what I understood, but I may be wrong

[ebon blade]

im trying stuff brb

[topaz sun]

aight

[ebon blade]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.joker_main then
return{
message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult
}
end
worked, i just added return to calculate, the game doesnt crash on launch and the joker appears

@topaz sun

[topaz sun]

Still crashing here

This stuff is irrational, I swear

Imma reboot my pc

[ebon blade]

good idea, cause i just checked the original code and it works anyway

[topaz sun]

Nothing happened

same crash

[ebon blade]

can you show me the mods folder?

[ebon blade]

can you open maggitsmod?

i mean the folder

[ebon blade]

try removing all other content mods?

idk at this point

[topaz sun]

tried that, but no change

I'm baffled, I tell ya

[ebon blade]

im flummexd, it completely works for me even with out the stupid change i suggested

[ebon blade]

try downloading the 7z you sent here and extracing in the mods folder?

because thats the resource i use and it fully works

maybe one of the files in your mods folder is corrupted or smthn

[brisk rose]

Ayyy that looks like you're using my modpack as a base

(I can mostly tell because of my semi-custom yosbr implementation)

[ebon blade]

hi coonie, your competent, can you take over this case?

[brisk rose]

I don't even code, lol

Not sure how I'm competent

[ebon blade]

i see you here all the time

i mightve made a connection

sorry for the assumption?

[brisk rose]

Yeah I try to help when I can

[opal spade]

I should make a mod that ppl would actually use in modpacks (other than no peeking; I should update no peeking to make it less stupid using my newly acquired knowledge)

[brisk rose]

And I'll have a look here too

[ebon blade]

i mean the mod works for me but not for @topaz sun , which is super funny since he made it

[opal spade]

whats the issue

[brisk rose]

Are you guys in different steamodded versions?

[ebon blade]

nope

[brisk rose]

Or Lovely versions?

[ebon blade]

might be

[topaz sun]

I downloaded the 7z, edited the code to add return{} and now it works

[ebon blade]

the issue is we cant find the issue'

[topaz sun]

I cant

even begin to understand this

[opal spade]

unless the mod uses lovely it shouldn't matter

[ebon blade]

you dont even need to add the return function i suggested

[brisk rose]

Lovely loads steamodded, but yeah you should be right

[ebon blade]

it should work regardless

[opal spade]

does it crash w/o a crash log?

[ebon blade]

not my mod, i was trying to help @topaz sun

ask him

[brisk rose]

You might have accidently booked something on your local copy

[topaz sun]

I do. without it, the joker doest give +mult

That's why I needed to add it

[ebon blade]

no, the one i added

[opal spade]

@topaz sun is there info in the logs

[ebon blade]

i added on calculate, i thought you meant that

[ebon blade]

we just solved it (i thunk)

[opal spade]

🤔

[topaz sun]

I posted the logs here, they just say it's line 17 of my code, but line 17 is just NFS.load(SMODS.current_mod.path .. 'jokers/whitepony.lua')(), which just adds the code of the whitepony joker

[opal spade]

something within whitepony doesn't add up

[topaz sun]

Yeah, that's right. Whenever I added it in calculate, just under if context.joker_main then it would crahs

[ebon blade]

and now it doesnt?

[opal spade]

a quick way to see what is comment out the load line and paste the joker into the main file

[topaz sun]

Nope, works like an absolute charm

[ebon blade]

WOO

[topaz sun]

Will do that with the one I had ´previously

to try and solve this mistery

[brisk rose]

Got that gift horse's mouth right the hell open and lookin in it with a flash light :p

/j

the fact the joker is white pony isn't lost on me

[ebon blade]

oh btw, fyi, in vs code different values have different colors right? so in a joker of mine that works (high contrast theme in vs code) mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } } message and mult_mod are blue, and in @topaz sun white pony (same theme on vs code obv)
message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult
mult_mod and message are yellow/orange

idk if this means anything

but just to point out the facts

for refrence
whitepony

mine

[brisk rose]

I think that's just because it's wrapped in a return

[ebon blade]

yup

that was the reason

[topaz sun]

I have never used vscode so I have no idea

wrong ping

[ebon blade]

vs code is pretty much a golorified text editor

which is why i like it

[topaz sun]

I'm a complete noob lol, my only experience is from making simple programs for a minecraft mod called computercraft

which coincidentally, were in lua

[ebon blade]

hey, thats more than me

[opal spade]

where is the return

[ebon blade]

i just clump patterns and say, here is the problem?. no? aww dnagit

[ebon blade]

mine has the return

[topaz sun]

The mistery so far: Here I am coding my little mod. I forget that exact return, so the joker doesnt add mult. So, I go back and add the return, comma in the right place and everything, and boom crash. So then I ask for help here. I remove the return from the code to send it "crash-free" to tyuugy. He then proceeds to add the same return in th same place and it somehow works for him as intended. I then download the zip I sent here, add the return I had previously deleted and it now works.

[ebon blade]

i swear this always happens to people im helping with tech, irl, everytime one of my friends has an issue with tech i say have you tried x, they say yeah i tried, i say try again then it works

mgik

[topaz sun]

I was shocked, in disbelief and relieved all at once when it worked lol

[ebon blade]

lmao

[topaz sun]

This is what the crash log had to say: msg = string: "[SMODS _ \"loader/loader.lua\"]:316: [SMODS maggitsmod \"maggitsmod.lua\"]:51: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 49) near 'mult_mod'"

In the code, I do close the " {", but for indentation purposes i put the "}" on line 52. I tried Moving it up to line 51, but no change still. I just don't get it

[opal spade]

no comma after localize

[gaunt thistle]

iirc I spitballed an idea to make this work a while back. shouldn't be hard and I might have time to work on it today / tomorrow

[topaz sun]

No way

[opal spade]

[topaz sun]

Yup, that's it. lmaooooooooo

[opal spade]

I am the fixer of bugs

(I didn't do anything)

[topaz sun]

Thou art wise, o fixer of algorithms

Thanks for the help, guys

You guys friggin ROCK

[rough furnace]

That would be nice. Do you need an example mod to trigger the case?

[lime trench]

I'm not entirely certain on how context.destroying_card should be used, but it doesn't seem to destroy the cards. I think it is because I'm trying to get them to be destroyed after it's played (and that's impossible to do after the card has already scored). But I'm not too familiar with how the scoring operations go.

I'm pretty sure it is because glass cards trigger right after they score and not during joker scoring

[surreal marsh]

there exist context.cards_destroyed and context.destroying_card

it's confusing

i guess destroying_card is true for every card played to test if a joker can destroy it

[wintry solar]

Destroying card checks whether a card should be destroyed or not, iirc it just needs to return true

Cards destroyed is for effects on cards that have been marked to be destroyed

But also, your check for destroying card is inside a different context check

So it’s never being hit

[lime trench]

So should it be nested in reverse?

Ie.

   if context.individual and context.etc_etc```

[wintry solar]

No

[lime trench]

So how would I make sure context.destroying_card triggers when i want it to?

[wintry solar]

All the context has at this step is destroying_card which is the card, and full_hand

So something like if context.destroying_card and context.destroying_card:is_face() then return true end

[lime trench]

Ah! Okay!

[loud citrus]

is making a new booster pack the same as making a joker?

[lime trench]

Thank you so so so so much!!! The card finally works as completely intended

[wintry solar]

Yeah, pretty much

[lime trench]

Now I just have to go and make card art for it disksksnsnsn

[loud citrus]

[brisk rose]

Is there a way to write image files to the disk? I want to make a mod that can export all of the modded content in your game into a webpage using notmario's template (mostly just so people can easily browse their collections out of game, but also it'd be cool for Coonie's Mod Pack to be able to list /everything/ it adds. But part of that would have to be grabbing the sprites, and idk if that's even possible

[languid mirage]

you mean individual sprites? yeah it's pretty simple

you create new canvas with love2d and draw the sprite on it

then you can save this canvas to set path

[brisk rose]

yeah

[brisk rose]

yeah that does sound pretty simple

[languid mirage]

yeah, you need to know love2d I guess 😭

[brisk rose]

I can read the docs, lol

[languid mirage]

you can use blueprint mod for example

[brisk rose]

What would I iterate through to get the modded joker (and eventually other modded content but I'm starting with jokers) objects?

[languid mirage]

but you'd need to also set canvas quad

uhh lemme see

[brisk rose]

for reference, I plan for this to be an smodded mod, but I get if I have to use lovely for some things (like the sprites and stuff)

not sure if I would, just saying

[languid mirage]

so looking at the game's source code

you'd need to replace love.graphics.draw(image) with this
from Sprite:draw_self

[languid mirage]

also canvas dimensions would have to be sprite's dimensions

[tidal edge]

it'd be funny to try this with a cryptid joker

(pass the gpt chat link 🥺)

[brisk rose]

this was using the paid version of poe.com. If you just want the output, it ended up incorporated into http://gaycoonie.github.io/DeFused, and the rest of the input is just the code from DeFused

[tidal edge]

i mostly just meant your initial input before the defused code

the prompt informing it about the website formatting

[brisk rose]

oh it's there, I can copy it if you want so it's text instead of an image

[tidal edge]

def would like it passed in dms

looks funny to toy around with 👀

[brisk rose]

I'll put it here because I was about to copy the template anyway to explain what I needed to grab for this mod idea I have

`Take the following lua code and output a list of joker Descriptions in this format:

" {
name: "Joker",
text: [
"{C:mult}+4{} Mult"
],
// image_url: "img/j_joker.png",
rarity: "Common"
}"

This is the skeleton for the relevent parts of the code:
"-- SMODS.Joker:new(name, slug, config, spritePos, loc_txt, rarity, cost, unlocked, discovered, blueprint_compat, eternal_compat, effect, atlas, soul_pos)
local j_example = SMODS.Joker:new('Example Joker', 'example', { mult = 10 }, {x=0,y=0}, {
name = 'Example Joker',
text = { '{C:red}+#1#{} Mult' }
}, 1, 2, true, false, true, true, 'Mult', 'my_mod_jokers')
j_example:register()"

The rarities are 1-4 for common, uncommon, rare, and legendary

The numbers in #these# are indexes to be replaced by the corresoponding value in the config table for each joker

Here is the code, disregard the functions:
`

So yeah, how would I iterate over all modded jokers and grab their name, description, and rarity? As well as passing it to the sprite code to get the sprite

Additionally I think I'm gonna add a field for what mod that they come from. I can handle the javascript and html on the website template side for that, but not sure how to do it on the mod side

[tidal edge]

wow this little thieving robot is good at doing things for me

[frosty dock]

do i see 0.9.8 code here 💀

[brisk rose]

DeFused is made mods that haven't gotten ported, lol

[frosty dock]

ah well

[brisk rose]

I don't really have the knowledge to port them myself. At least not the code part of it

the definitions are just pattern replacement beyond that really

If I do end up doing this mod idea of mine, I should gain some nessacary experience with lua/coding

The idea is to take all the mod objects in the game, and generate a webpage with notmario's template

[tidal edge]

im grimming out

[gaunt thistle]

That would 100% be appreciated

[opal spade]

is there a way to prevent locked items from drawing the locked shader?

testing bypass_lock for archipelago rn

[languid mirage]

probably, did you check card:draw?

[opal spade]

i checked it but i cant find the thing that makes it shine

[wary crescent]

So my Joker creates a random Tarot card, but I want it to generate 2 copies of that same randomly selected tarot card. How should i go about this?

[opal spade]

ok theres more than just the shader

[opal spade]

you could create a random card then copy it

[languid mirage]

try figuring out which shader is being drawn probably by adding override for Sprite:draw_shader and checking self.role.draw_major

draw_major contains card table

[wary crescent]

copy_card right? When i added this it didn't copy it unfortunately, let me try again

[languid mirage]

so you can check if its area == G.jokers

might also try crashing on that spot to see the stack trace

also ignore dissolve shader. it only draws base

I'm not 100% sure either where does the locked sprite get shader from

[wary crescent]

hmm, where do you add the "copy_card" line of text?

[opal spade]

need more code context for this

[opal spade]

can_use_consumeable doesnt run on locked cards and i need to figure out what stops it

[opal spade]

i found the reason, its unrelated to the unlock status and is there because we use center.demo

[languid mirage]

ah

makes sense cuz I didn't find any unlock related shaders. lol

[opal spade]

now i just need to figure out the thing preventing the usage but i feel like its probably also center.demo (which would be Not Good)

[languid mirage]

why are you using center.demo?

[opal spade]

its a quick and easy method to override the lock message

[languid mirage]

maybe you can find where lock message is being overriden due to center.demo

and patch that line to include your custom param

that way only the lock message will be gone

without other side effects of center.demo

[opal spade]

burndi is adamant about voiding patches but no biggie, the vanilla has a second tag that overrides lock message (center.wip) that doesnt do anything other than override the message

although it appears that the use button is still unusable

[wintry swallow]

What if there was transparent joker, unlike invis it make 2 copies of 1 random joker, wdyt?

[opal spade]

?

[wintry swallow]

So you know how invis makes one copy

What if it was doubled, and stronger

[wary crescent]

Sorry im back, so this is a simple functional way that works at giving a single random tarot card, but yeah, want it to give 2 of the same

[wintry swallow]

It has to be sold to make the 2 copies like invis but it has a chance to give that joker foil, holo, poly or negative trait

Like a 1 in 5 chance for example

What if in the future, the switch and mobile ports had mod support 🤔

[opal spade]

_card2:add_to_deck()
G.consumeables:emplace(_card2)```

ig something like that

you'd need to add extra buffer checks though

[wary crescent]

Ok yeah, that makes sense

[opal spade]

yeah when the pigs fly

[wintry swallow]

Only if you play bad piggies 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Get it?

[wary crescent]

Wow, yeah that worked, just need to add buffer checks, thanks

[opal spade]

any help with this would be appreciated

[opal spade]

something between G.FUNCS.can_use_consumeable and Card:can_use_consumeable prevents the latter from going off

found a way around it by unlocking and relocking the consumable for the check but i dont rlly like that

[rough furnace]

Ok here

Also I had some mod breaking it for me so if it doesn't work disable other mods

also if at all possible reloading patches when restarting this way would be great

(including changes to lovely ignores)

Broken stuff (from my memory): the lovely module
logs
Not being reloaded

[lime trench]

(very) rough pass for the Gallows Humor card art, what do ya'll think?

It's based off of this one political comic from 1791 that ppl like to use about the french revolution

[opal spade]

currently going insane a little bit

the sanity check doesnt work for some cards for some reason but im making progress

[orchid thunder]

How does one make a custom enhancement

I don't see anything about it in the steamodded wiki

[opal spade]

it's not on the wiki but it's in the files

[orchid thunder]

Oh ok

[opal spade]

steamodded/core/game_objects.lua

[rustic flint]

how do i check that the hand being played is specifically high card because when i try to do this it doesn't work and just lets any hand activate it

[ebon blade]

I think your using the wrong [] it should be a double {{}}

But I'm not sure

[rustic flint]

i'm going off the source code and that's how they do it?

but i can try

yeah no that doesn't work

i think it's because the bracket is an index not an input

[opal spade]

context.poker_hand == 'High Card'

iirc

[topaz sun]

What does "attempt to concatenate global 'money' (a nil value)" mean?

[rough furnace]

it means it tried concatinating a global value called money (which is a nil value) but failed

[rustic flint]

hm that didn't work either

nvm i got it

[topaz sun]

Got it, it was message = localize('$')..money when it should be card.ability.extra.money

[rustic flint]

it was context.scoring_name not context.poker_hand

thanks tho

[tidal edge]

how do you check if a face card is being scordd

i want something to check if a face card is scored

and if it is

trigger effect

[tepid crow]

in a joker calculate, presumably?

[tidal edge]

i think you misunderstan

im talking about the code

that would check if a face card is being scored

[tepid crow]

oh, you mean the function that checks whether a playing card is a face card or not?

[lime trench]

if context.other_card:is_face() and context.cardarea == G.play

those just check if a card that is played is scored and a face card

if you want the trigger to apply only once to each card, you also add context.individual to it

[opal spade]

?

thats a strange way to word it

in this use case you must specify that its context.individual, or else the code would go off when looking for retriggers

[topaz sun]

the return{} function with the message isn't showing any message in the specified context. Why is that? Do I have to mess around with that eval_status_text thing? (please god no)

[loud citrus]

i think you're missing something, look at this example from one of my jokers

[topaz sun]

the localize part is just there to translate the text to any localization, in case there is one

[loud citrus]

i see

i'm silly

[topaz sun]

I think you can't use return in this context maybe

[topaz sun]

I mean, you have a working joker rn and I don't

That makes you not silly

[loud citrus]

this screenshot is from my rebalanced mod, so it's using a vanilla game joker as the base

you also wanna think about context and if it's triggering right, i would recommend a way to make the effect trigger on demand to see if it even works

like context.discard is my go to for testing

[topaz sun]

That's a good idea, will try

The message shows with context.discard

wtf

[wintry solar]

not every context handles messages that are returned, just need to check where its being called

also worth noting that the game won't save the rcount between reloads here, you need it in the extra table

if you need a message to pop up whenever, you can use card_eval_status_text()

[topaz sun]

That's what I was fearing, but I'll see what I can learn about card_eval_status_text()

Thanks

[wintry solar]

it's very straight forward

something like card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = "MONEY", colour = G.C.GOLD}) should work

[topaz sun]

So no need to use G.E_MANAGER:add_event?

I was looking through the vanilla jokers and they use that before card_eval_status_text

[wintry solar]

nope

the status text function will add the event for you

[topaz sun]

Awesome! Thank you

[frosty dock]

I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter and only center.config cares about that while save and load always try to keep all of card.ability

[wintry solar]

huh

til

[umbral zodiac]

how can i make a joker make itself eternal?

[orchid thunder]

card:set_eternal(true)

[umbral zodiac]

oh lmao

i thought it wouldve been something similar to set_edition but for stickers

[orchid thunder]

well thats what jen uses soo

[umbral zodiac]

if it works

why not

[rough furnace]

Stickers are weird in the fact that they aren't mututally exclusive

Not sure how the steamodded sticker api works for setting and removing them

[umbral zodiac]

yea thats why i thought itd be set in a table of some sort

like {eternal = true, rental = true}

[rough furnace]

Well I suspect probably designed it just for pinned and then didn't redesign in when adding new ones

[edgy reef]

You get the sticker config and call set_sticker iirc?

[edgy reef]

Yea none of the stickers are actually inside a config of any type so they basically have to be reworked for consistency.

Surely next Balatro update adds Pinned texture

I still need to do more updating for the sticker, still relies a little bit on vanilla logic

[edgy reef]

SMODS.Stickers[<sticker key>]:apply(card, true/false)

[rough furnace]

Yeah I know I have to support vanilla for DebugPlus and the stickers kinda just get a key each and doesn't support modded stickers whatsoever (or pinned)

[brisk rose]

How does steamodded show all the stickers in the collection? Are the vanilla ones reimplenented/hard-coded?

[rough furnace]

Idk haven't touched the steamodded sticker api

[edgy reef]

It just applies them when created (along with adding a var into Pinned so it doesn't screw with card order).

Lacks discovery (another thing to add onto the sticker update checklist).

[tepid crow]

vanilla ones are (at least partially) re-implemented I believe

otherwise Steamodded wouldn't be able to "find" them

[brisk rose]

It'd be a bit clunky but can't debug-plus just use different methods for vanilla vs modded stickers?

[rough furnace]

Well I'd have to make a new method of interaction

Right now each sticker gets its own key on the keyboard

I'd have to make some kind of press one key to change and one key to toggle things

I've made cursed systems to work with both smods and vanilla dont worry.

[brisk rose]

Maybe pg up pg dwn to scroll through? If the engine captures those keys

Wait they're not exclusive

Nvm (partially)

[rough furnace]

I might just reuse the 3 keys I already have

Maybe I just make a console command

[tepid crow]

so for some reason Balatro's localization strips out any and all spaces (control["X"] and char:gsub("%s+", "") or char) if there's a background colour (the X)

and "fixing" it breaks Balatro's default localization cuz why tf not lol
/rant over

[rough furnace]

I assume it's probably easier to stick in translation tools but idk

Could probably get away with just trimming spsced on the beginning and end

[tepid crow]

yeah I assumed it was for readability or something, but helpful for translation might be it too

Huh. Stripping spaces at the start/end as last step probably works

[mellow sable]

This was to make it easier when he changed all of them to not have this padding at some point

[loud citrus]

i'm trying to mod a base game joker but i can't figure out how to prevent a message from appearing

[mellow sable]

Don’t return anything

Just return

[loud citrus]

that didn't work :(

it reverted it like i never changed anything

it's supernova i'm editing by the way

[hallow forge]

Are you trying to edit the code directly?

You shouldn’t and can’t do that

[topaz sun]

Do you guys know how to make stickers stick to the correct locations (not floating) in non-conevntionally sized jokers?

[loud citrus]

i'm using take ownership

[hallow forge]

ah

[topaz sun]

Just remove the line containing message = ..., no?

[loud citrus]

my new effect works but overwriting the original one is a pain, and it's the fact i can't get rid of the message, i can change it all i want but i can't remove it, otherwise it just dose the original thing

[topaz sun]

Even if you keep the return but without the message line?

[loud citrus]

yeah

[tepid crow]

I've tried doing this myself, but the furthest I got was having the sticker sprite with offset in regards to the card sprite, and that just horrendously failed once the card had any sort of physics applied to it

[topaz sun]

something like this

return {
mult_mod = G.Game.hands[context.scoring.name].played
}

[topaz sun]

oh

[topaz sun]

Yeah it seems like it's pretty advanced stuff

[topaz sun]

  return {
    mult_mod = 0
  }
end```

See if this works

[loud citrus]

tried that, gives no mult like i want but the message still appears

[topaz sun]

  return {
    message = '',
    mult_mod = 0
  }
end```

What about this?

[loud citrus]

same resalt

[tepid crow]

I think I might be able to find the code I had for it if you want? It is partially broken though

[topaz sun]

I do! However, I probably wouldn't know what to do with it

Still, good oportunity to learn some new stuff

[topaz sun]

I'm out of ideas

[loud citrus]

thank you though

looking at bunco they replace jokers that already functioned based off return 🐟

[tepid crow]

wouldn't supernova fall-back on it's default behaviour?

if you don't return anything?

or is it just an empty message pop-up

[loud citrus]

yeah but i should be returning {nothing}

[brisk rose]

Doesn't the output of functions just sit and do nothing if you don't return?

[loud citrus]

on;y if i do mult_mod = 0

[tepid crow]

yeah that sounds like it's falling back on some sort of behaviour

[loud citrus]

yeah but i need to overwrite the original

[loud citrus]

how do i stop that from happening

[lusty epoch]

did you change the name of it

[loud citrus]

no

[lusty epoch]

you need to do that to stop the original code from working

[loud citrus]

oh

but i sucessfuly changed delayed grat this way

[lusty epoch]

maybe not actually but worth a try

I know cryptid's green joker take ownership does

it's worth a try

[brisk rose]

Can't you add your own localize function that overwrites it? If you don't go the brave changing route

[loud citrus]

didn't work?!?!?

[loud citrus]

based on how it's acting i'm assuming referencing message is how it happens

[lusty epoch]

Yeah I’m stuck then

Sorry 😔

[loud citrus]

it's okay

i was thinking it would be a silver bullet

Delayed Gratification didn't even put up a fight lol

[tepid crow]

sent you a message about it

[tepid crow]

possibly because you're actually returning something in that case? not sure

[loud citrus]

i've returned nothing, something, nil of something and the game won't give up sending a message, even if it's completely broken lol

[opal spade]

what are you trying to achieve

[brisk rose]

Will the message function (method?) accept empty input?

[opal spade]

if you want to prevent a vanilla joker from firing off their vanilla effect, just taking ownership and defining a calculate function should suppress vanilla functionality

[brisk rose]

Apparently the vanilla message is still being used

From what I can gather

[loud citrus]

i've successfully made supernova trigger before your played hand but it still gives a message when it normally would score, gives no mult if i want it to

[tepid crow]

Rose has tried (lmk if I missed any rose):

return {message = false, mult_mod = 0}
return {message = '', mult_mod = 0}
return {mult_mod = 0}
return {}
return
[no return]

[opal spade]

what's your code rn

[loud citrus]

yeah i did return {}

[brisk rose]

Did you try, fur the context you dug why it to trigger, adding a message = false?

[loud citrus]

yeah

[brisk rose]

Damn

[opal spade]

strange, this should already suppress it due to how take ownership works

[loud citrus]

there are many times i've been told the original joker shouldn't work yet it still does

[brisk rose]

[tepid crow]

I feel like this is more of a "Steamodded™️" moment

[brisk rose]

Lol true probably

[tepid crow]

depends on what the actual cause is gonna be

[brisk rose]

Though idk what's going on behind the scenes

Supernova might just be coded abnormally for some reason

[loud citrus]

it's reporting this at all times and that's all it does 😭

BUT I CAN CHANGE IT, but removing it isn't an option???????????

[brisk rose]

Maybe do by key instead of by name? It should become an smods.joker object when you take ownership

If I understand it correctly

[opal spade]

you can try lovely patching that line to only go off if you have the option for supernova off

[loud citrus]

i know nothing lovely 💀
i only know basic lua by messing with games

[tepid crow]

I believe that screenshot is of Thunk's code?

[opal spade]

time to learn it ig

shouldn't be that hard

[brisk rose]

Oh I see

[loud citrus]

yeah

[brisk rose]

Yeah that looks normal

[tepid crow]

u good coonie?

lmao

[brisk rose]

Phone isn't clearing text box when I send

[loud citrus]

also can we just talk about for a moment that this game is built on if and elseif statements

💀

[tepid crow]

most jokers are unique enough to warrant it tbh

you do not want to try and directly edit any of the UI code lol, such a pain

[brisk rose]

I mean couldn't he have done it like smods does, with neat joker objects and associated functions?

[tepid crow]

true, could have a Jokers.showman.calculate = function() ... end

[loud citrus]

so the context lag would be greatly reduced or eliminated

because it would become an object check instead of the whole game check

[opal spade]

it it's a smods object, the calculate call is supposed to end early because of the bit of code related to that returning early in the function

[loud citrus]

wait i just realized it's not actually adding mult

time to figure out how to forcibly add mult 😭

[opal spade]

what

[orchid thunder]

What did you do to that joker

[brisk rose]

Funnily enough if he ever does refactor the game to be more like smods. Steamodded itself and likely every mod using lovely will require extensive rewrites

[loud citrus]

i have no idea what to do anymore

https://tenor.com/view/disintegrate-gif-22469816

[orchid thunder]

I use

Wait wrong jut

How do I do the code box thing

[tepid crow]

use the ` instead for a codeblock

[orchid thunder]

Thanks

[opal spade]

context.blueprint_card or card for blueprint compat

[tepid crow]

```lua
-- code
```

for a multi-line (lua) block

[orchid thunder]

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

[loud citrus]

after i edited it to make the values correct it freaken works!

https://tenor.com/view/he-is-the-messiah-monty-gif-19570851

[orchid thunder]

Ok good because I'm don't with code block thing on mobile

Done

[opal spade]

context.blueprint_card or card

blueprint compat

[loud citrus]

now to get rid of the vanilla message 🐟

oh right

[orchid thunder]

What are you doing

[opal spade]

also doing it through eval this instead of return might make it incompatible with retrigger jokers, so maybe slap a return true under it

[loud citrus]

it should be compatible by default

[opal spade]

eval this grabs the specific card

[loud citrus]

oh

[opal spade]

blueprint can't replace it

[orchid thunder]

Oh? So I'll have to edit that in my code

[opal spade]

you have to manually specify that

[loud citrus]

could you show me an example?

[opal spade]

just make the first argument in eval_card context.blueprint_card or card

[loud citrus]

OH! that makes so much more sense

works like a charm

also the better debug mod is a life saver

[umbral zodiac]

genuinely does anyone know what im doing wrong

making this joker is turning me INTO the joker

[tepid crow]

are you using Talisman?

[umbral zodiac]

yeah

[tepid crow]

talisman makes it so that numbers are actually tables

(those table then represent a number)

[umbral zodiac]

thank you Talisman very Uncool

i am but a simple redacted i need no tables for numbers

[tepid crow]

only way to get past Lua's integer limit 🤷

[umbral zodiac]

how can i use it as a number

[tepid crow]

(and if Lua was a better redacted language you could overload it)

do you want compatibility with talisman in the future?

[umbral zodiac]

yea my mod is a cryptid addon

it needs to work with talisman one way or another

[tepid crow]

then you'll need to convert your numbers into talisman's format

iirc you can do to_big(number) for it?

[umbral zodiac]

hoping copilot can do the tedious part of that form e

do hardcoded values for operations and comparisons need to be converted or nah

[tepid crow]

brother you do not need copilot for it

[umbral zodiac]

theres a LOT of numbers

if u could paste around text i would do it manually but pasting it and then moving my cursor is like wasting my lifetime

[tepid crow]

yeah most of those basically

also see https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Cryptid/wiki/Mod-Compatibility-Guidelines#talisman

[lucid sun]

does anyone know what im doing wrong here? trying to get glass cards to be given polychrome, preferably after scoring, but atm they are not given anything at all. looked at aqua ghost in world ends with jimbo and thought that would help but cant seem to get it to work

[umbral zodiac]

how can i use talisman numbers in a string? concatenation doesn't work with them

[limpid flint]

Because they are stored in tables

[umbral zodiac]

yeah i know

im wondering how you are supposed to concat them

[tepid crow]

tostring(nr) might work? otherwise :toString(). See the https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Talisman repo

[umbral zodiac]

ahh yea its :to_string

[rustic flint]

ok i'm pulling my hair out because of this error, i literally don't know what's wrong with my code i've double checked it like 30 times

    key = "pop",

[tepid crow]

be careful with that, I don't think omeganum supports that one

[umbral zodiac]

i should be fineee

(unless interrupted) what i’m trying to display shouldn’t go past like 10

[tepid crow]

not really relevant

it's about which version of talisman the user uses

[umbral zodiac]

oh wait

i’m sorry i’m slow as hell 😭😭

[tepid crow]

there's different "methods" of storing the number, talisman supports 3 I think?

[umbral zodiac]

that might be a pain then

[opal spade]

try changing it to v:set_edition('e_polychrome', nil, true)

[tepid crow]

again, I think tonumber(...) might work? idk tho

[umbral zodiac]

it might not matter since the numbers i was trying to concat werent too relavent to scoringt

[lucid sun]

nah that didnt seem to fix it but thank you

[rustic flint]

why the hell does it think out_mult is nil

i literally set it in both the config and the set_ability

[orchid thunder]

i need an example of how a consumable works but in steamodded

for exable stone card writtin in steammodded

[rustic flint]

just look at other mods code

[orchid thunder]

whats a goood mod to look at

[rustic flint]

for consumables?

[orchid thunder]

no enhancements

[rustic flint]

ohhhh

like custom enhancements?

[orchid thunder]

yes

[rustic flint]

if all else fails there’s an example in cryptid

[orchid thunder]

like stone card for bonus card

[orchid thunder]

thirs is mde teribly i belive and not useing SMODS.Enhancement

[rustic flint]

hm

try golds cards?

[rustic flint]

also can someone please help me it’s literally driving me insane i can’t figure it out 😭

[orchid thunder]

why this no work

it should be no rank and no suit but insted it has a rank and a suit

[loud citrus]

i have no idea

i would say look at how the tower converts?

[glad wasp]

hey, im incredibly new to balatro modding (litterally just started like an hour ago) and I have no clue how to check for suits. the template I'm looking at doesnt go over it, but it does go over checking other things like face cards and specific values by doing this (this is for the number cars specifically): context.other_card:get_id() == 10 could someone tell me how to basically do this but for suit? (i hope someone sees this soon i have to complete this by tomorrow but i also dont wanna be up all night)

[loud citrus]

best way to learn modding is to look at the game's source code and other mods

though it will be very difficult to do anything if you don't know the rules of lua

[glad wasp]

i have done a little bit of lua before

[loud citrus]

okay that's good
the steamodded page has a handful of bare bone mod examples as well

also (not plugging i swear!) my mod i've been working "rebaloed" has great examples of coding custom joker effects

bunco has a lot of suite based code

though also looking at the tarot cards from the base game is perrety good too!

[brisk rose]

Working on a proof of concept for my mod that exports the collection to a webpage. So far I can get a list of vanillia joker keys

I know priority inf probably isn't valid, but I doubt that's my problem

yeah I removed it and no change

I think I need a context or something

or maybe the set for smods jokers is different

[glad wasp]

ok so now it seems like i might have issues installing steamodded? I followed the instructions on the github wiki, but its not showing up...

[orchid thunder]

great still has a rank and suit

[loud citrus]

could i see the file placement?

[glad wasp]

it goes: AppData/Roaming/Balatro/Mods/Steamodded-main

[loud citrus]

huh, inside the folder is it's contents and not a repeated name right?

[glad wasp]

yup, even double checked just now

[loud citrus]

because the last thing i would ask is if you have lovely

[glad wasp]

ah, you have to install that separately?

[loud citrus]

yeah

just like steamodded but it's own folder

[glad wasp]

gotcha, im guessing its linked somewhere on the steamodded github?

[loud citrus]

yes

also the lastest version of steamodded is the source code

[glad wasp]

omg chrome is blocking the download i hate chrome

[opal spade]

do info_queues support main_end?

[brisk rose]

How do you get the actual localized name and description from a joker's center?

this almost works for the name, but some of them are bare keys and other weird stuff

[frosty dock]

localize{type='name_text',set=center.set,key=center.key}) should do iirc

[frosty dock]

how are you checking? the base data still exists (needed in case you convert back) but effectively it shouldn't count as it

[wintry solar]

You need replace_base_card I believe

[brisk rose]

this variation ended up working in my code

[frosty dock]

yeah that's what I mean

except why not use v

[brisk rose]

because I don't know lua

and I'm just figuring this out as I go along

[tidal edge]

trying to detect if a face card is scored; anyone know why this line is crashing my joker when sold

[wintry solar]

Because it runs on the selling card context because you haven’t added a check to make sure you’re in the correct context

[brisk rose]

how do I get the description? I presume it's pretty similar

[tidal edge]

damn that sucks

[wintry solar]

Change type to description iirc

[brisk rose]

tried that, it's blank

[wintry solar]

It’ll be a table

[tidal edge]

how would i add that check, just quickly wondering

[wintry solar]

You might need to iterate over it and write each line individually

[wintry solar]

What stage does it need to do this effect?

[nocturne garnet]

oh my god why did no one tell me one of my jokers didnt have a calculate function 💀

its been here since forever

wtf lmfao

[tidal edge]

when cards are played

this is checking if a face card has been scored

then doing a thing

[frosty dock]

of this is what I assume it is, you should need if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and context.other_card:is_face() then

[wintry solar]

👆

[tidal edge]

ill try it out

fuck now its crashing on startup

i cant even play

if it adds more context this is what it was for

[nocturne garnet]

I ADDED DRINKING TO BALATRO

[tidal edge]

crashing itself because of "other_card" on blind select

both of these lines of code are causing crashes

only because of other_card

idk why

[frosty dock]

I'm pretty sure that's correct as is?

[tidal edge]

yeah so idk why it doesnt like it

context.other_card is perfectly valid but

lemme pulll up the error

[brisk rose]

having trouble figuring out how to do that

[tidal edge]

the jokers.lua file is the one my thing is in btw

and heres the line it hates

[brisk rose]

this just crashes (if I print q it does the same)

probably just my naive approach being well... naive

also doesn't help that I don't really understand "pairs" yet

[glad wasp]

ok so i downloaded lovely and put it in the mods folder but that didnt work, it's still not showing up

[tidal edge]

i dont even know whats wrong with thisd

if a card played is a face then

apply x mult

its still erroring out for no reason

[wintry solar]

Try ipairs

[wintry solar]

This doesn’t have the context check we just told you about

[brisk rose]

same crash

[brisk rose]

isn't card.ability.extra (usually) a table now?

[wintry solar]

That’s an issue with the localise but then

[brisk rose]

wrong reply

[brisk rose]

isn't card.ability.extra (usually) a table now?

[loud citrus]

just double checking that these are what your folders look like

[brisk rose]

and you'd have card.ability.extra.x_mult?

[umbral zodiac]

its xmult_mod no?

[wintry solar]

That just depends on how you set it up

[brisk rose]

it works for the name though? That's why I'm not sure "description" is correct

[glad wasp]

no, when i downloaded lovely it was a single "version.dll" file

[brisk rose]

makes sense

[glad wasp]

but other than that its the same yes

[wintry solar]

Yeah I don’t remember what it is off the top of my head, try looking in the game files for uses of localise

[loud citrus]

thats the problem, let me fetch you the fileshttps://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector

download the latest release

[glad wasp]

ok

wait i see the problem now

that was the same place i downloaded it

but i missed a step in the instaqllation

oops

[tidal edge]

thats nto the issue

its issue is with

other card

all its telling me is it doesn't like specifically "other_card"

idk why

[nocturne garnet]

wait

context.other_card needs to exist

what are you trying to do

[umbral zodiac]

yea other_card wont exist in a lot of cases, this will run whenever anything happens

selecting a blind, selling a card, opening a tarot pack

[glad wasp]

aaand im getting an error message

[wintry solar]

Just put the context check aure gave you here

[nocturne garnet]

what is it that they're trying to do tho

[umbral zodiac]

if you're trying to add xmult for each face card played, might want to check for context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play

at least thats how scary face works

[tidal edge]

i fixed all of it

i put aures fix on one oter card

but forgot the other one

that was ir

lol

[glad wasp]

the error message is "Windows cannot find 'WINEDLLOVERRIDES=version=n,b'. Make sure you typed the same correctly, and then try again." (i copied it straight from the installation process)

[loud citrus]

you delated the lovely.dill you had right?

[nocturne garnet]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and context.other_card:is_face() then
  return {
           Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
           card = card,
           message = localize {
             type = 'variable',
             key = 'a_xmult',
             vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult }
            },
          }
end

[loud citrus]

before having the right files

[tidal edge]

i fixed it i already said

sorgy

[nocturne garnet]

alright

[glad wasp]

no? what you sent me was the exact same download link, so i just kept the one i download it earlier

[nocturne garnet]

any drinking experts know how to draw wine

i need some CERTIFIED alcohol addicts here

[loud citrus]

OH I'M SO SILLY
you put lovely in the game's folder then it creates the lovely folder.
i'm so sorry

[glad wasp]

gotcha, i thought it was weird that they didnt specify to make a folder lol

[loud citrus]

just to be sure :)

[glad wasp]

im still getting the error

[glad wasp]

||shouldve replied to a post of urs again oops||

[loud citrus]

hmmmm

[glad wasp]

oh wait in the GAME'S folde

r

i may not be very smart

and it still doesnt work

[loud citrus]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1252742627678359674/1278729896805531688/image0.gif

that's okay, i made a blunder too

[glad wasp]

still gettin the error :/

[loud citrus]

ah

is your folder called Mods?

[glad wasp]

yes

[loud citrus]

with a capital and an s

okay

[brisk rose]

apperently it's 'descriptions' plural

still getting a crash though

but now it's maing the game crash

happens whether I loop it or not

[wintry solar]

Hmmm

Try just printing the return of localize to see what it’s giving you

[brisk rose]

how do I do that?

[nocturne garnet]

BEER

[glad wasp]

i figured it out

[loud citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-happy-cat-white-cat-khat-gif-26627615

[glad wasp]

(i am on windows 10 lol)

just gotta test it again

[loud citrus]

that makes so much more sense lol

[glad wasp]

yup it works

and i think the mod i made works first try too!

[loud citrus]

as i was helping you i was working on my mod...
i need to know what the heck the game thinks pinned is.

[glad wasp]

you mean how the pinned mechanic works? or..?

[loud citrus]

applying it to a joker

[opal spade]

card.pinned = true

[loud citrus]

this is what i have thus far, what I'm doing is instead of hex destroying jokers, it pins the joker that becomes polychrome

[opal spade]

wrong card

youre applying pinned to hex

[loud citrus]

yeah i figured

[opal spade]

eligible_card is what you need to pin

[loud citrus]

but i don't know the thing to punt it on the joker

[loud citrus]

i'll try it

[umbral zodiac]

did i cook or did i burn (ignore text formatting, i didnt bother with it since the entire description changes)

[opal spade]

who let them cook

[umbral zodiac]

nobody 🔥🏠🧑‍🚒

[opal spade]

on a visual front though you could take the right side and split it into a soul_pos

so it floats around

[umbral zodiac]

the texture itself is still a placeholder i just cut it in half because i couldnt tell the difference between it and other jokers

there was probably an easier way to tell but doesnt matter to me

[crisp coral]

probably burn, the text is long

[umbral zodiac]

thats fair

[crisp coral]

left can definitely be reworded, idk about right

[umbral zodiac]

3rd line of post-eternal is definitely terrible

[crisp coral]

/1 Mult, increases by 0.5 per round up to 5
After 5 rounds, loses Eternal
Sell this card to generate a random Joker

idk how you'd rewrite the rarity scales with round held part

[umbral zodiac]

i dont think i can do any formatting

[loud citrus]

is orange a color i can use in descriptions?

[umbral zodiac]

the entire description changes based on the variables of the joker

[opal spade]

how does it change

[opal spade]

how do u do the change

[wintry solar]

You can use any colour

[umbral zodiac]

the bad way

[opal spade]

why

[umbral zodiac]

because i felt like not caring about good code

[crisp coral]

guh??

[umbral zodiac]

i make this mod for fun and good code takes less time to be fun

[loud citrus]

how do i do that 😅
i've just been using attention green and red

[wintry solar]

You can either add the colours you want to the loc_colours table to use with C:colourname, or you can use V:1 and have a colours list in your loc vars

[crisp coral]

does {C:orange} work?

[loud citrus]

no

[crisp coral]

then ^

[umbral zodiac]

i was not aware of the key existing

how do i use that for an alternate description

*in the loc_txt part

[opal spade]

you need to process loc

[crisp coral]

return {
  vars = {},
  key = "j_joker"
}

probably

[umbral zodiac]

i mean like how do i define a key for the description

[wintry solar]

You should use a localisation file to organise it all

[umbral zodiac]

organized code i hardly know her

[loud citrus]

thank you lots!
now i need to find out where would i find the game's colors, like the number version

[umbral zodiac]

what doesfish mean

[opal spade]

if you dont have loc files you can do
SMODS.process_loc_text(G.localization.descriptions.Joker, <key>, <loc_txt>)

[wintry solar]

You should have loc files though

[umbral zodiac]

i may do it if i plan to release my mod publically

[loud citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-gif-27442765

[umbral zodiac]

actually yea i will if i release it to more than just friends

[loud citrus]

i never anticaped my mod to get so big lol

[wintry solar]

I don’t remember, but if you search the entire files for loc_colours you should find it

[mental nacelle]

ive got a mod that is literally only rules for challenges, would a localization file be useful there or should I just leave it all in one

[crisp coral]

you know what that means

🐟

[umbral zodiac]

do i now

[wintry solar]

I would recommend using a loc file for any mod that adds custom text in any area, it makes localisation for other languages infinitely easier

[umbral zodiac]

beam the knowledge into me bro

telepathy it

[mental nacelle]

oh yeah fair enough, i’ll look into that then

[brisk rose]

still haven't figured it out, but I think I'mma take a break

I wanna play Reverie and pip my dice

[loud citrus]

the game uses orange for pinned so i thought it would be there lol

[opal spade]

are you sure its orange and not attention

[loud citrus]

placeholder for now 😭

[wintry solar]

Just had a look, give me a moment to type it out

[brisk rose]

why did they make global colors different from loc colors? it seems.... confusing at best

[brisk rose]

np

[crisp coral]

are you fucking kidding me

[wintry solar]

local text = {}
localize({type = “descriptions”, set = v.set, key = v.key, nodes = text})
for _, t in ipairs(text) do
  —write to file
end

I think it’s this

[umbral zodiac]

the joker itself may suck but you gotta admit the texture is even worse 🧊 ❄️

[brisk rose]

not sure which variable I'm supposed to write, but I tried _, t and text, and they all come up blank

no crashes though

[wintry solar]

Should be t

Can you drop a sendDebugMessage(tprint(text)) before the for loop?

Oh hang on

[wintry solar]

Go back to this but with raw_descriptions

[brisk rose]

I thiiink I tried that, but I will try again

because I did see raw_descriptions being used too

[glad wasp]

does anyone know how to make a deck give you a joker off the bat?
ive tried to look for a mod with that but haven't found anything and also im delerios from exhaustion and would prefer a straightforward answer

[brisk rose]

yeah still crashes

and I tried your new version with raw_descriptions too. no crash, but no output

[brisk rose]

was there supposed to be something in the logs? or is it only in the console?

because I did try that

didn't find anything in the logs at least

if anyone wants to try it themselves, this is the whole file, reverted to the version that doesn't crash

(how do you do code blocks?)

[loud citrus]

""

copy my message

[brisk rose]

use "" to escape characyers

[brisk rose]

lmfao

backslash

[loud citrus]

||/||

[brisk rose]

* like this

before the character

[loud citrus]

that's cool!, i didn't know

[opal spade]

``` <code> ```

<code>

[loud citrus]

this is what i saw when you said blakslash lol

[brisk rose]

you just might have to create a file.txt in %appdata%/balatro

[crisp coral]

can you make a copy of a built-in lua function?

[brisk rose]

that's a forward slash

[mental nacelle]

all 3 of my braincells cannot figure out localization files

[glad wasp]

ok so turns out i have no way to test if it actually works beyond getting it in a run for real (ive tried like 3 different ways of getting it and all have failed) but im so tired i can barely keep my eyes open so uh yea ima stop for now

[languid mirage]

did you look at any mod that adds localization files?

[glad wasp]

i can see it in the collection and thats good enough for me

[mental nacelle]

i've been looking at Bunco for it, they use one

[languid mirage]

are they using localization folder?

because that's the only correct way for 1.0.0

ok they dont

[mental nacelle]

oh you mean like "localization/en-us.lua"

[languid mirage]

look at like lobotomycorporation

yeah

also steamodded has localization files

tho it's only for UI stuff

for jokers and other collection stuff I recommend looking at mods that add those

[mental nacelle]

im gonna look at lobotomycorp

[languid mirage]

cryptid also started adding localization files recently

[wintry solar]

Does this link work

[languid mirage]

I think it's easier to understand when you have whole project in front of you

so you can search by keywords and see what goes where

[opal spade]

why do you have them as ["key"] when just key works

[wintry solar]

Because I started badly and carried on

[languid mirage]

["key"] works for non standard keys with symbols like - or spaces or .

[opal spade]

interesting

[crisp coral]

i have now accepted that i just spent an hour trying to work on something that is impossible to do

(multiblind)

[mental nacelle]

i am so confused where do they process local text

i might be dumb

[languid mirage]

everything in localization folder is processed automatically by steamodded

the example you saw in bunco is outdated

[mental nacelle]

that's cool actually

[languid mirage]

yeah, it's very convenient

[languid mirage]

hm something like obsidian orb from cryptid?

[mental nacelle]

i had localization down in basic code but this is super convenient actually

unrelated but does anyone know how to detect the cards used in the collection book? (specifically the edition ones)

[crisp coral]

something like switching between two or more blinds that apply their effects at the same time with separate chips scoring

[languid mirage]

uh yea that sounds very hard if you want to keep other mods compatibility

in a vacuum that is probably doable

[crisp coral]

don't think i can do it with only lovely+smods either because everything is written for singular blinds

[brisk rose]

if anyone figures out how to get this to actually output description text, please let me know

after that I just need to figure out rarities, mod names (and preferably badge colors) and images

then it's just formatting

[brisk rose]

(and stupid already pretty much told me how to do the images)

[wintry solar]

I’ll take a look later today or tomorrow

[brisk rose]

np :3

[nocturne garnet]

did i cook or nah

[nocturne garnet]

2x

[brisk rose]

so I asked before but didn't get an answer. Can I do this directly in a steamodded mod or do I need to use lovely?

I'm trying the former right now, and everything isn't breaking. It also isn't working though

[languid mirage]

it doesnt really make sense to use lovely for this

if you're trying to interact with steamodded objects

[brisk rose]

yeah I thoght so

I just wasn't sure if smodded liked to pass code to love2d (showing my ignorance, lol)

can I get the sprite from the center object I'm already using or do I need a seperate loop for this?

and how do I pass it to the function, and name the file with [key].png?

[mental nacelle]

does anyone know how i'd give a variable to specifically these cards

[brisk rose]

this is my function so far based on what you said the other day (haven't added the dimensions yet, not 200% sure where to put them)

I didn't delete your irrelevent comments, lol

and i probably still have blueprint+ specific code

[languid mirage]

dont have time this week to help with it

[brisk rose]

no worries

[languid mirage]

but you're using self. instead of actual sprite

you kinda have to know how lua and balatro stuff works to be able to operate with what I said

[brisk rose]

I just copied the part from sprites.lua you told me to so far

[languid mirage]

yeah what I said needs to be processed

[brisk rose]

I'm uh... learning on the job

lol

[languid mirage]

you cant just copy and it will magically work

[brisk rose]

I know that, lol

I was experimenting before

but reverted to make sure it would work in concept

but yeah now that I know I'm not doing it completely in the wrong place I'll start messing with it again

I knew that part would probably have to be replaced

I had it as v.sprite at one point, with v being the joker object

[wintry solar]

What are you trying to do?

[mental nacelle]

i'm trying to let editions in the collection load when they're disabled by challenge rules

[crisp coral]

why tho

that's super niche

[mental nacelle]

hovering over Blurred (from Cryptid) in the collection book crashes when the rule is enabled

also none of the shaders load in the collection

alternatively is there a way to check if a function was called within a different function?

[wintry solar]

Just check what cardarea they’re in

[opal spade]

collection cardareas have a special tag iirc

[mental nacelle]

i might not be looking in the right place but i cannot find the cardareas for collection

[wintry solar]

It’s something like card.area.collection

[opal spade]

check uidef for collection pages

[mental nacelle]

i've found G.your_collection[1] = CardArea(...)

i'm gonna try to find where cardarea is defined

wait i found it

[nocturne garnet]

yippee

[mental nacelle]

self.area.config.collection works for the collection cards outside of a run but inside a run it does not

[lucid sun]

any idea on why this says in nil rather than the number?

[opal spade]

whats your loc_vars

and what's your loc_txt

[opal spade]

or loc file entry

[lucid sun]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
and local text is "When {C:attention}Blind{} is selected", "{C:green}#1# in #4#{} chance to create", "a {C:tarot}Judgement{}, {C:tarot}Justice{}", "or {C:tarot}Hanged Man{}", "{C:inactive}(Must have room)"

[opal spade]

bad text

#1# in #2#

[crisp coral]

post the entire loc_vars, also #1# in #4# should be #1# in #2#, these correspond to the order of the variables in your loc_vars

[lucid sun]

awesome, thank you both

[mental nacelle]

gave up on this because i dont think i have the knowledge for it

[brisk rose]

can anyone help me with this part? I have it to the point where it's generating a bunch of blank images with the right filenames

I think I just don't know where the sprites are in relation to the centers (or if they're even accessable) to pass to love2d to draw

[crisp coral]

if you were following stupxd's code then self should be a Sprite object, no?

[brisk rose]

yes, but I don't know how to get one of those when I'm iterating over G.P_Centers

do I have to iterate over something else in a different loop?

[crisp coral]

so assuming you're passing a Sprite object as the image parameter, then it should be

image.atlas.image,
image.sprite

[brisk rose]

that makes sense, I just need to get all the joker sprite objects

[languid mirage]

card.children.center

is the only sprite you need

uhm I guess

card.children.floating_sprite

for those with a floating sprite

[brisk rose]

and how do I get the card object? Do I need another loop or is my G.P_Centers loop sufficient?

basically should I have done this differently all along? I was following someone else's advice to get where I am with the loop

[languid mirage]

I think you should still be able to do it with G.P_CENTERS, but can't help you with that

[brisk rose]

np

[languid mirage]

maybe take a look at how create_card works

so you can go through all centers and create card for each

not very efficient but it gets the job done

[crisp coral]

Sprite(0, 0, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, G.ASSET_ATLAS[center.atlas], center.pos)

makes a sprite

wait

[opal spade]

if you need a specific card you can define a card directly
