hmmm

actually maybe it's a different thing

Okay, I know the discard checking works - it only crashes when i dicard a 3oak or better

but WHAT IS GOING ON WITH LINE 411

it's probably something wrong with localize(text, 'poker_hands')...

[primal robin]

Bad hand checking logic btw.

Maybe this will be better

function get_poker_hands_better_than(target_hand, inclusive)
  local result = {}
  for _, poker_hand in ipairs(G.handlist) do
    if (inclusive or poker_hand ~= target_hand) then table.insert(result, poker_hand) end
    if poker_hand == target_hand then return result end
  end
end

[glossy stone]

wh

what

how do i

[primal robin]

Straight, Flush and Three of a Kind are not all hands better than Three of a Kind

Also you miss Full House

[glossy stone]

oh

yeah i know that

[cursive ocean]

This should be the right channel does anyone have insight into how to add a joker created with SMODS.Joker to a deck when the run starts? I'm able to load vanilla ones using e.g. 'j_blueprint' and passing that to create_card, but not with SMODS jokers.

[glossy stone]

i mean i just spawn it in with debugplus

[languid mirage]

you need to add mod prefix

so j_modprefix_jokerkey

mod prefix is like first 4 letters of your mod name? lowercase

unless you specified mod prefix separately

[glossy stone]

okay so uh i just put "two pair" in the target hand? or

[primal robin]

"Two Pair"

[glossy stone]

yeah

and the level up code, where to put it

[cursive ocean]

Hmm interesting. I'll have to go digging. Thank you 😄 debugplus also sounds useful

[glossy stone]

uh

[primal robin]

Le'ts modify code a little bit:

function get_poker_hands_better_than(target_hand, inclusive)
    local result = {}
    for _, poker_hand in ipairs(G.handlist) do
        if (inclusive or poker_hand ~= target_hand) then result[poker_hand] = true end
        if poker_hand == target_hand then return result end
    end
    return result
end

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.pre_discard and not context.hook then
        local poker_hands_to_upgrade = get_poker_hands_better_than("Three of a Kind", true)
        local poker_hand = G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.hand.highlighted)
        if poker_hands_to_upgrade[poker_hand] then
            card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')})
            update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.8, delay = 0.3}, {handname=localize(poker_hand, 'poker_hands'),chips = G.GAME.hands[poker_hand].chips, mult = G.GAME.hands[poker_hand].mult, level=G.GAME.hands[poker_hand].level})
            level_up_hand(context.blueprint_card or self, poker_hand, nil, 1)
            update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0}, {mult = 0, chips = 0, handname = '', level = ''})
        end
    end
end

[glossy stone]

oh i see

[cursive ocean]

w00t got it working. Thanks again

[glossy stone]

okay so i can't just put this in, what am i missin

[primal robin]

Your result code shoul looks like this:

function get_poker_hands_better_than(target_hand, inclusive)
    local result = {}
    for _, poker_hand in ipairs(G.handlist) do
        if (inclusive or poker_hand ~= target_hand) then result[poker_hand] = true end
        if poker_hand == target_hand then return result end
    end
    return result
end

local trashtrash = SMODS.Joker({
    key = "trashtrash",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Trash And Trash!",
        text = {
            "If discarded poker hand is",
            "{C:attention}Three of a Kind or better,",
            "{C:attenti}level up{} said poker hand",
        },
    },
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 8,
    atlas = "OSJokers",
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    pos = { x = 3, y = 2 },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.pre_discard and not context.hook then
            local poker_hands_to_upgrade = get_poker_hands_better_than("Three of a Kind", true)
            local poker_hand = G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.hand.highlighted)
            if poker_hands_to_upgrade[poker_hand] then
                card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')})
                update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.8, delay = 0.3}, {handname=localize(poker_hand, 'poker_hands'),chips = G.GAME.hands[poker_hand].chips, mult = G.GAME.hands[poker_hand].mult, level=G.GAME.hands[poker_hand].level})
                level_up_hand(context.blueprint_card or self, poker_hand, nil, 1)
                update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0}, {mult = 0, chips = 0, handname = '', level = ''})
            end
        end
    end    
})

[glossy stone]

double oh

It works! but
local upgrade text goes off to the stratosphere???

[teal estuary]

didnt like your joker, tried to escape /s

[primal robin]

Good luck

[glossy stone]

https://tenor.com/view/scaraline-emaline-emaru-kurage-p-kurage-gif-11819496828676693792

[wintry solar]

card_eval_status_text needs card rather than self

[glossy stone]

OH

YEAH I WAS GONNA CHANGE THAT thankies

OKAY NOW IT WORKS WOO

https://youtu.be/dlmDDcRDByc
god i'm gonna get a rude awakening when i try to make the art...

[teal estuary]

thats a neat idea tbh

kinda like fire joker

[glossy stone]

yeah it's infinite burnt joker but antilobotomy
aka "get smeared/shortcut you fuck"

I'm up to 10 jokers implemented now... maybe I should make the art.

Maybe I'll try to implement this.
±0 (common)
If 0 cards left in hand, gain +1 hand size

...this is uncommon isn't it

[teal estuary]

hmmmmmm

i think you could get away with it being common, but its definitely a very good common

(there should be a mod that adds inbetween ranks, definitely /s)

[glossy stone]

local plusminus = SMODS.Joker {
 key = 'plusminus',
  loc_txt = {
    name = '±0',
    text = {
      "If {C:attention}0{} cards held",
      "in hand,",
      "{C:attention}+1{} hand size",
      "{C:inactive}(Currently +#1#)"
    }
  },
  config = { extra = {hand_size = 0} },
  cost = 5,
  rarity = 1,
  atlas = 'OSJokers',
  eternal_compat = true,
  perishable_compat = true,
  blueprint_compat = false,
  pos = { x = 4, y = 2 },
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = {card.ability.extra.hand_size} }
  end,
  add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
    G.hand:change_size(card.ability.extra.hand_size)
  end,
  remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
    G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.hand_size)
  end,
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if #G.hand.cards == 0 and not context.blueprint and not context.individual then
              card.ability.extra.hand_size = card.ability.extra.hand_size + 1
      return {
        message = "UPGRADE!",
            }
    end
  end
    } 

okay literally nothing went right here XD, can you tell me what i should do

[wintry solar]

you need to chance the hand size in your calculate function

but also add a better context check

otherwise this will trigger lots

[glossy stone]

oh yeah of course hm

[glossy stone]

should i add a context.before

[glossy stone]

...chance?

[wintry solar]

change*

[glossy stone]

oh

change by what tho

[wintry solar]

by 1

so after card.ability.extra.hand_size = card.ability.extra.hand_size + 1 put G.hand:change_size(1)

[glossy stone]

and do away with the add to deck right

eh it's fine

but

IT'S WORKING NOW! YATTA

[wintry solar]

yeah you don't need the add to deck

you need the remove from deck though

keeping add to deck would allow debuffing it to work properly mind

[glossy stone]

oh

yeah it's fine, it's working now WOOO

11 jokers are now implemented....

GEE MAYBE I SHOULD DO THE ART SO I CAN RELEASE THIS

(I'm so cooked...)

Okay so I have a OS Joker idea:
High Range Test (unc.)
Gains x.25 Mult if score is more than 2500, doubles on every upgrade

What would the Low Range Test be?

[opal spade]

idk but if u haven't done matryoshka yet it would be funny if it had something to do with creating smaller copies of itself like an actual matryoshka doll

[crisp coral]

you should do the vampire that's just the same as vampire

[glossy stone]

Anyways gn, I'll listen to Vocaloid before sleeping to find Joker ideas

view my descent in #1294698682062475294

https://tenor.com/view/gn-goodnight-pjsekai-pjsk-prsk-gif-4322470871187137464

[opal spade]

you could make it so it just uses vampire's ability name and loc entry straight up

so there's like 0 original code

[nocturne garnet]

concepting

[weak depot]

i'm trying to make a deck in which you get no rewards from blinds (a la red chip but all of them.) do y'all know where i'm going wrong here?

[tepid crow]

if you're gonna paste code like this, just paste it as text man

[weak depot]

i... sorry...

[tepid crow]

it's fine, it's just... I can't copy-paste it to my machine to check it

and I definitely don't want to re-type the whole thing

if you use
```lua
[insert code here]
```

you get a nice discord codeblock, with formatting and colours

try it!

[weak depot]

SMODS.Back{
    name = "Discounted Deck",
    key = "discndeck",
    atlas = 'whitedeckatl',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    loc_txt = {
        name ="Discounted Deck",
        text={
            "Start game with {C:money,T:v_liquidation}Liquidation{}",
            "Blinds give {C:attention}no rewards{}",
        },
    },
    config = {vouchers = {'v_clearance_sale','v_liquidation'}},
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    apply = function(self)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                G.GAME.modifiers.no_blind_reward = self.GAME.modifiers.no_blind_reward or {}
                G.GAME.modifiers.no_blind_reward.Small = true
                G.GAME.modifiers.no_blind_reward.Large = true
                G.GAME.modifiers.no_blind_reward.Boss = true
                G.GAME.selected_back:apply_to_run()
            end
        }))
    end
}

[tepid crow]

so, what's going wrong with it? it doesn't apply?

[weak depot]

it was crashing but i noticed an error where i accidentally wrote self. instead of g. so we're trying again. i may be dumb

OKAY fixed it, i did some weird phrasing, my bad. thanks for the help anyhow and thanks for teaching me the code block thingamajig ❤️

corrected code:

    apply = function(self)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                G.GAME.modifiers.no_blind_reward = G.GAME.modifiers.no_blind_reward or {}
                G.GAME.modifiers.no_blind_reward.Small = true
                G.GAME.modifiers.no_blind_reward.Big = true
                G.GAME.modifiers.no_blind_reward.Boss = true
                return true
            end
        }))
    end
}

[tepid crow]

ah, yeah, that'll break it

also nice fix on the event, that was gonna be an infinite loop

though I'm not sure you even need an event here

[weak depot]

maybe not, but i'm more putting guardrails to make sure i don't accidentally put something that needs an event where there isn't one. better safe than sorry

[tepid crow]

events are usually done when you need to time things

the reason the example decks all use events is because they directly modify the deck

and the deck isn't created yet when the Back:apply function is called

which is more of an issue with balatro itself...

[weak depot]

noted, thanks!

[tepid sky]

quick question: to let blueprint say it is compattable it was: "blueprint_compat = true," right?

[teal estuary]

mhm

i really wish it defaulted to true and not false, but its a meh thing

[tepid sky]

i could've swore it was in example jokers somewhere

[tepid sky]

i'll just try this out

it seems to be working

[wooden nexus]

Welp, I made some of my card art into a mod because I'm struggling to make my game

I'm gonna make a post for it

[teal estuary]

quick question, what mods have jokers that have Xmoney effects? need to do something similar, and looking at their code seems the best thing to do 😭

[mental nacelle]

like multiplying money full stop or money gain?

[teal estuary]

multiplying money

[mental nacelle]

i know there's a mod somewhere that has a NEO spamton joker that multiplies the player's money by two

[teal estuary]

i did see that, i just could not remeber the name 😭

[mental nacelle]

No Laughing Matter?

[teal estuary]

that was it, yuh

ty

[tepid sky]

yas sirrrr

[primal robin]

Question. Why G.GAME.blind.name for vanilla blinds is name The Psychic, but for modded it's key bl_twbl_nope?

[tepid sky]

🤷‍♂️

maybe they found funny

[mental nacelle]

question: do pattern patches only patch at one instance or every instance?

[frosty dock]

because the name field serves no practical purpose with the way steamodded is based on keys, yet the base game expects one to exist

so it's not required that mods specify a name field, but it defaults to the key

[primal robin]

Understood

[mental nacelle]

after testing i have concluded pattern patches are applied at every instance

[teal estuary]

is there something wrong this code? for some reason flushes arent working, but any other hands (3oak, pair, two pair, etc) is

they all have the same code, just a different == 'hand name'

[wintry solar]

that's not how context.poker_hands works

[edgy reef]

It's a table not a string

[teal estuary]

i mean it works, just not for flushes

[wintry solar]

can you show one that works?

[teal estuary]

sure

i'll be damned, i realised what was going on

they were working before, no clue what happened 😭

and back here again 😭

[wintry solar]

try next(context.poker_hands["Three of a Kind"]

[teal estuary]

is that missing a ) at the end or

[wintry solar]

yes it is

[teal estuary]

😭 i realised you changed the captilisation, mb

yep, captilisation

thank you 😭

[twilit oar]

Okay I have joined, just to ask what is poker_hands a map to?
I have been trying to help Black, but what he is getting told to do makes very little sense to me.
I would like to say I'm experienced enough with Lua, I'm just most used to Factorio's api.

The only documentation I have seen is a link to #1247703015222149120, which is just attrocious and uninformative.

[wintry solar]

poker_hands contains all the possible poker hands from the cards you play

[twilit oar]

I kind of already understood that is the purpose, but how?
I understand it's a mapping of the name of the hand to a table of some sort. But what is that table

My first assumption was it was something like table<hand_names,true>, (hand_names being a union of strings) but the fact that you're supposed to use next() means that's clearly wrong

[edgy reef]

iirc it's something like table[<hand_name>] = <array of cards>

"Array of cards" being the cards from the hand that would form that specific hand.

[twilit oar]

Okay that's kind of what I thought
But if the hand is not valid, is it an empty array or something?

The idea that there would be an entry at all for an invalid hand sounds completely inane to me, but that's the only reason I can think of for using next()

[tepid crow]

did you try printing it?

[twilit oar]

Oh I don't even have the game. I'm a third party trying to understand enough to help my friend when they have issues

[tepid crow]

this is what I got when playing a two pair

{
  Flush House = table: 0x077a37d8  {
  },
  Full House = table: 0x077a3800  {
  },
  top = table: 0x07853940  {
  },
  Flush = table: 0x07264390  {
  },
  Pair = table: 0x07211880  {
    [1] = table: 0x07211858    {
      [1] = table: 0x07366760,
      [2] = table: 0x0726a0f8,
    },
    [2] = table: 0x07293028    {
      [1] = table: 0x0760f690,
      [2] = table: 0x0742c860,
    },
  },
  Four of a Kind = table: 0x0715ac30  {
  },
  Straight Flush = table: 0x07853918  {
  },
  Straight = table: 0x078a5988  {
  },
  Three of a Kind = table: 0x077ccec8  {
  },
  Flush Five = table: 0x07853940  {
  },
  Two Pair = table: 0x078a89b0  {
    [1] = table: 0x075b8eb8    {
      [1] = table: 0x07366760,
      [2] = table: 0x0726a0f8,
      [3] = table: 0x0760f690,
      [4] = table: 0x0742c860,
    },
  },
  Five of a Kind = table: 0x0728d988  {
  },
  High Card = table: 0x075f6430  {
    [1] = table: 0x076186f0    {
      [1] = table: 0x07366760,
    },
  },
}

[edgy reef]

The functions that check for valid hands to return an empty table.

[tepid crow]

I believe the innermost tables are the actual cards

[twilit oar]

Okay. I fundamentally disagree with that structure, but it helps to understand that that's how it works.

One final question, is there luals type annotations that I should've forced Black to show me?

[tepid crow]

you can go complain to about that part

[tepid crow]

if you're talking about @param and @return comment annotation stuff, there is some (more so in Thunk's code than Steamodded's code), but you might as well assume it doesn't exist

[twilit oar]

Alright. Coming from Factorio where we've got our api very thoroughly annotated
as well as my own personal choice of enabling the no-unknown warnings, that is plainly unacceptable to me.

I'll continue to help Black from afar, but I don't think I could ever touch it myself

Thanks for answering my questions and correcting my mis-inferences about the api

o/

[tepid crow]

I don't doubt Factorio has more structured documentation, kinda fits with the game haha

[wintry solar]

it's also a much more developed modding scene

[tepid crow]

about a difference of 7 years?

[stiff locust]

alright chat

how do i change the rank of a card

i can't make sense of how strength does it

[brisk rose]

SMODS.rank seems to exist

Idk how to use it though

[brisk rose]

Here's how smods redoes strength

[stiff locust]

i can't read it

[brisk rose]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/main/core/game_object.lua

They might do other stuff in other files for it

[stiff locust]

seems to be

assert(SMODS.change_base(_card, nil, new_rank))

where _card is the selected cards and new_rank is the new rank

[brisk rose]

Oh yeah it is change base you're right iirc

[stiff locust]

in theory assert(SMODS.change_base(context.other_card, nil, "6") should change the rank to 6

[brisk rose]

The actual smods.ranks is kinda an internal thing, just a table of ranks it looks like

[stiff locust]

that was surprisingly easy

[stiff locust]

this did just work

thanks chat

[loud citrus]

i'm making a custom challenge and i want to know if this is right?

wait nothing in the base game bans seals or enchantments

[loud citrus]

also new problem this breaks my mod and i don't know why

🐟

i think i know why

yay! i fixed it

[glossy stone]

I have to resist the urge to code in new jokers instead of making ART FOR ONCE

[loud citrus]

how do i make code that refers to a mod
i want a part of my code to only work with a certain mod mod

if {mod} then code stuffs end

[brisk ember]

Yooo, hey I've been trying to install the grim mod, but it seems like theres a bug in lovely where it autogenerates the card.lua file, it throws error here, and I assume its because its missing a comma... so is this the right channel to ask? 😓

[brisk rose]

I'd ask in the #1279275441009459222 thread

[regal wolf]

Not bug with lovely. Autogenerated file is logs showing lovely injection.

[nocturne garnet]

test sprites

[mental nacelle]

the nefarious question mark card

[brisk ember]

Perfect thank you sorry still new to the community

[brisk rose]

np, you're good :3

[brisk ember]

Okay makes sense, I’ll have a look on the threads and see what’s up ty

[nocturne garnet]

i worked on sin for like 10 minutes

the background looks so boring 😭

[brisk rose]

I think they look god *good (though fitting typo)

and as for the plain bg, maybe add some stippling?

I don't think it really needs it though

plus remember these will have spectral shader in the game

[teal estuary]

im completely guessing here on how to do this (cant even access the source code rn 😭 ), but is this on the right track for having a joker have a chance to times its sell value?

[regal wolf]

No problem.

[nocturne garnet]

<@&1133519078540185692> uh oh!

[nocturne garnet]

deleted for me

[grand violet]

Oh it just takes a while

thank you Disc and Cord

[glossy stone]

whuh...

[tawny perch]

would help looking at the spectral cards for references
they mostly have cool effects in the bg relating to the card

[cursive ocean]

Is there a guide/definition/reference available for the context and card parameters used in the calculate function? I'm finding it hard knowing what's available to do with each of them

thank u

[brisk rose]

discord is bad a being navigated, dw

[crisp coral]

hm

[royal ridge]

balatro if it was good

[crisp coral]

i'm clinically insane

i hope nopeus can handle this

[nocturne garnet]

wuddaflip are camel cards....

[crisp coral]

they weren't lying

that unsafe can unsafe

[nocturne garnet]

+1 Hand each hand

[brisk rose]

and here I am just using nopeus at 8x

[glossy stone]

all i did today was make 1 (one) joker art lmao

[nocturne garnet]

atleast you did 1 (one) joker art

[glossy stone]

here's how it looks like in game

[weak depot]

that looks awesome!!!

[weak depot]

?

[loud citrus]

Where do I find the code for challenge rules?

[glossy stone]

thanks!! gn

[crisp coral]

you need to create a card first by using create_playing_card, then use that as the first parameter in copy_card

[weak depot]

?

i'm a little confused

[crisp coral]

wait

nevermnind

[zinc zenith]

Is there a starting_param value for playable hand size?

[crisp coral]

yeah im a fucking dumbass

add this G.hand:emplace(_card)

[weak depot]

so this?

    apply = function(self)
        local cardToDuplicate = context.full_hand[math.random(1,#context.full_hand)]
        local _card = copy_card(cardToDuplicate, nil, nil, G.playing_card)
        _card:add_to_deck()
        G.hand:emplace(_card)
    end

[mental nacelle]

challenges.lua should help

[weak depot]

no limit, it should dupe a random card in hand whenever a hand is played

[crisp coral]

prolly

[zinc zenith]

Nah sorry i'm tryign to create a new hand type but need the playable hand to be larger than 5. just trying to find where i can access this but so far it seems like it's a global value

[loud citrus]

I want to see the code that makes up the rules themselves

[weak depot]

cryptid has something similar, if that helps?

[mental nacelle]

oh, well you'll probably need to go digging in the files then

[loud citrus]

I thought it would be in card.lua but no 😭

[zinc zenith]

In Game.lua line 2058 begins the modifications of rules absed on challenges. These are set ones though, if you're looking to add or create one i'm not sure that's where

[weak depot]

this doesn't throw an error but it also doesn't... work (trying to duplicate one random card in hand when a hand is played and this deck is used)

[nocturne garnet]

wtf

why is this happening

i didnt even do anything

[weak depot]

conflict between mods?

[nocturne garnet]

i didnt download any mods

i literally didnt do anything

[zinc zenith]

according to my search the file is related to the "Awesome Balatro" mod

[nocturne garnet]

that is not correct at all

jimb is jimbos pack

suddenly jimbo's pack's joker atlas doesnt load

[zinc zenith]

sounds like you know the problem then

[nocturne garnet]

i know whats causing the problem

i dont know what the problem is

okay wtf

my balatro is not well

[nocturne garnet]

Spade cards aint

[brisk rose]

with what you've done to it, how could it be?

also, what is the spades deck from?

[nocturne garnet]

cryptid

[nocturne garnet]

somehow i made a duplicate folder with only the lua file

[brisk rose]

lmfao

[brisk rose]

ofc it is, lol

whenever I ask what something interesting is from, it's always cryptid

maybe one day they're make the 'balanced' version and i'll want to install it

though there's other mods with suit decks too to be fair

[nocturne garnet]

they literally have...

also

you can just disable things that are too overpowered in the config

and use the things that are fun

like the decks

[brisk rose]

since when?

I know the config exists, but the legendaries are also OP and can't be disabled sperately yet

says math himself

[nocturne garnet]

https://github.com/jevonnisverycoolman/Cryptid-but-less-op

for a while now

[nocturne garnet]

lets be real

[brisk rose]

@lusty epoch why no advertise?

[nocturne garnet]

its a legendary

[hardy viper]

WIP

[nocturne garnet]

and im pretty sure they're disableable actually

[hardy viper]

nowhere near complete yet

[nocturne garnet]

in Misc Jokers

or are they just in the miscjokers fil for no reason

[lusty epoch]

Unfinished

[brisk rose]

well so is every mod, unless it's unfinished as in unplayable

[hardy viper]

it's called balanced cryptid

its not balanced

thus it's not finished

[lusty epoch]

It unfinished as in i just started like a week ago and half the things are still op

[brisk rose]

lol fair. I just like... expect WIP threads I guess. They're fun for me

no worries regardless

[lusty epoch]

I mean it’s usuable rn if you want to give it a try

[hardy viper]

#balanced-cryptid in the cryptid discord

does that work for a wip thread

[brisk rose]

god I guess it makes sense to join the server, lol

can I get a link?

[cursive ocean]

Just finished my first Jimbo, a ripoff of Midas Mask but for turning 7s lucky. Would love any feedback on it, improvements and especially on if I'm using the lifecycle/context correctly.

SMODS.Jokers.j_dogmod_lucky7.calculate = function(self, context)
        if context.before then
          local scoredCards = {} -- store the cards that should be upgraded
        
          for _, scoringCard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
            if scoringCard:get_id() == 7 then -- if the card is a seven, save it for later
              table.insert(scoredCards, scoringCard)
            end
          end


          if tableLength(scoredCards) > 0 then -- do we have any scoring cards?
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ -- delay the upgrade a bit?
              delay = 0.2, -- what's the unit?
              func = function()
                  for _, toBecomeLucky in ipairs(scoredCards) do
                    toBecomeLucky:juice_up(0.5, 0.5) -- jiggle. What's the unit?
                    toBecomeLucky:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_lucky) -- make it lucky
                  end
                  return true
              end
            }))
            card_eval_status_text(self, "extra", nil, nil, nil, { -- pops after the hand is removed if in the above event
              message = localize("k_dogmod_lucky") -- "Lucky!"
            })
          end -- end length check    
        end -- end if context
    end -- end calculate  

Also anything Lua related as I've never used it before 😐

[wintry solar]

You’re using 0.9.8?

[cursive ocean]

Balatro Version: 1.0.1g-FULL
Modded Version: 1.0.0~ALPHA-1012b-STEAMODDED
Love2D Version: 11.5.0
Lovely Version: 0.5.0-beta7

But I did use a different mod as a way to get something going. Maybe that is/was using some older stuff? What is it that smells of 0.9.8?

Creating an appending to the table might be redundant. I thought I also had to delay the Joker message popping up in the same event, but apparently that triggers at a different time

[wintry solar]

Throwing the calculate in like that isn’t how 1.0 is usually coded

[cursive ocean]

Do you know of any good examples to see the 1.0 conventions?

[brisk rose]

Morefluff seems well made and striaghtforward

it splits its files up though which isn't really a convention, just the author's preference

[maiden phoenix]

Lots of big 1.0 mods do that now

[brisk rose]

yeah, it's not a bad thing at all

makes it a bit of a pain to navigate though

[wintry solar]

From a developing side, it makes it so much easier to navigate through 🤣

[brisk rose]

very fair, lol

[wintry solar]

I wish I’d broken galdur into smaller files, it’s such a pain to find anything in there

And that’s not even that big really

[maiden phoenix]

Depends, if every file is nicely named its not too hard

Time to make a mod that has the misc, utils and functions files

[brisk rose]

pfffft

[cursive ocean]

Thanks for the help. I'll try to make the Jimbos I want then do a whole refactor when I'm more comfortable working with this stuff

[tepid sky]

how do i , add juice to my joker?

like where do i put it

and does it needs something like self.juice_up or card.juice_up?

[loud citrus]

When the ability triggers put
card:juice_up()
As one of the events, for example

If context.first_hand then
card.ability.extra = card.ability.extra + 1
card:juice_up()
end

You don't need juice if you are returning a message though

Sorry I missed input, it's
juice_up
Not
juice

[tepid sky]

thanks!

is it supposed to be like this then?

[wintry solar]

that''ll juice twice

[tepid sky]

?

[wintry solar]

oh wait no

you can also add card = card in the return and it'll juice for you

[tepid sky]

ooh

like on the top of the mod?

on its own?

[maiden phoenix]

in the return

[cursive ocean]

Does anyone know how to get the ability of a card? The getter equivalent of set_ability..?

Like, foreach key, card in context.scoring_hand, if card.get_ability === "Glass"

As always as soon as you ask you figure it out

[maiden phoenix]

Rubber ducking

[cursive ocean]

Ok another one! Is this an OK way to temporarily nudge the probability of things triggering, like having an "Oops all sixes" for the one played hand?

local oddsBefore = G.GAME.probabilities.normal
        local newOdds = G.GAME.probabilities.normal * self.ability.extra.increaseOddsTimes -- 2

G.GAME.probabilities.normal = newOdds

G.GAME.probabilities.normal = oddsBefore

[mental nacelle]

how would i get the challenge id

[mental nacelle]

trying to patch this specifically gives a blank challenge (no rules)

[rough furnace]

random consumeable idea trigger a selected joker's on sell effect wihtout selling the joker

[hardy viper]

would be pretty funny

but also like kinda useless in 99% of situations

[rough furnace]

I mean invisible + it is a second free joker

(or unlimited with perkio)

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know why trying to get a random index for smods.ranks isnt working?

i just want a rnadom rank 😭

[brisk rose]

Why do the colors on the texr look just like my trance theme, lol.

Maybe they're just the normal colors fir debug and I didn't notice before

[opal spade]

they're normal for debugplus

[brisk rose]

Yeah I thought so

I just coincidentally picked similar colors on my theme

[teal estuary]

me and marie have been trying to make this work for a short while now - the original jokers function is to make it times its sell value but for now, just trying to even make it add to the sell value

but for some reason, it just does not work

[edgy reef]

set_cost would override any changes you make to it's sell value.

[teal estuary]

damn

[edgy reef]

You should be able to do the same thing Egg goes since this reads as just that but multiplied

[teal estuary]

but egg uses set_cost()

like, the bottom half of that is just modified egg

[edgy reef]

ohhh

It's prob just an if check issue.

card.ability.extra is set to a number which means that card.ability.extra.odds won't work

Altho that would give you an error not just do nothing

[teal estuary]

i am getting an error but its for the extra_value = line, not the extra.odds line

[brisk rose]

How would you interrupt the draw routine for cards to add multiple shaders?

From what I understandyou have to switch between canvases to do it

[stiff locust]

you should change extra.odds to just odds though

[teal estuary]

oh i did

[loud citrus]

i'm trying to add a custom challenge rule where if you play your most played hand it doesn't score, i have no idea how i'm gonna make it becuase of how rules seem to work.

[topaz sun]

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think you should always put your config variables inside the extra{} table, unless it's only one variable. So maybe use

  extra = { gain = 5, value = 0, odds = 3}
}```

[teal estuary]

i changed it because, what i was told, extra = is only needed for things that would be changed? but sure, i will try it

[opal spade]

Egg's ability.extra is a number, yours is a table

you can't math a table

[teal estuary]

that.. would make sense, yeah

question because its like 5am, and i can feel my brain melting, why the fuck is it a table?

[stiff locust]

you only need to do that if the values will be recalculated, but there's no reason not to in almost every situation

because yeah balatro only saves joker values that are within extra which means they save when you close and reopen a run

[opal spade]

because you need multiple values and making ability extra a table is the only reliable way to save multiple values

[edgy reef]

Table basically store values that you want to later access.

[teal estuary]

it finally clicked in my head what you guys mean, i think i understand now 😭

okay, so, i wanna be absolutely sure, do i need to define extra_value in the joker itself? if so, how? because i presume (from what spa said), you dont put it in config = {extra = {}} because you cant math a table

[brisk rose]

I mean I think you do? Look at literally any oker mod, and you'll see how they do it

You just need to get the number from the table to math it, which is just [].[] until you get down to the labeled numerical variable to do math on

[loud citrus]

could someone point me towards seeing a modded enchantment example? i don't know how to make them

[brisk rose]

Enhancement you mean?

Ortalab has quite a few

Make sure you're looking in the new demo repo

https://github.com/Eremel/Ortalab-Demo

[limpid flint]

https://tenor.com/view/minecraft-gif-25198842

[loud citrus]

thank you

[rough furnace]

Someone remind to look into why this would be happening later

[loud citrus]

oh wow this mod has informed me of all the updated info to object making in SMODS

i've made some very old mods (poorly programed) and i've had so much outdated methods.

[wintry solar]

I think it’s just missing seals out of the ‘normal’ object types

Oh it misses blinds too, those are still on my local environment

[brisk rose]

oh yeah you need to change the description for the demo repo

it still says dev

[cursive ocean]

I'm trying to in a way replicate the interaction that Midas Mask and Golden Ticket (in that order) have when playing a face card, in that the card becomes gold and then is counted by the ticket. I have a Jimbo that turns certain cards lucky and another that checks if all played cards are lucky and temporarily increases the odds of them triggering.

I've tried to use the same context/lifecycle checks as Midas and Ticket, but when I'm checking the ability of the card in the probability up joker, the ability is reported as being "Default Base" despite a previous joker turning the card lucky. Any ideas as to why these don't interact in the intended way?

-- turn all 7s lucky
lucky7.calculate = function(self, context)

                    toBecomeLucky:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_lucky) -- make it lucky

[cursive ocean]

I suppose my questions really are, how can we track the state of a card throughout a hand? Why is context.scoring_hand not reflecting the set_ability call that was done in an earlier calucate?

[cursive ocean]

Ooook I figured it out. It has to do with triggering the set_ability in a delayed event. Don't do it is what I've learned

[hardy viper]

so how would i make a steamodded mod config save

[primal robin]

Question. How G.E_MANAGER behave when game in mods loading state?

[crisp coral]

it doesn't i think

[glossy stone]

even with a reference this shit is so HARD

[primal robin]

I envy those who can draw, it's so cool

[glossy stone]

that's where you're wrong, i can't draw well

[primal robin]

OK drawing better than nothing

Drawing is 2nd most difficult part of any mod after "Idea"

[primal robin]

Btw this joker really wants 2 labels "Joker" just like in any other jokers. It fits very well

[glossy stone]

ok i'll make one on top one on botto-oh wait miku's gonna cover up the bottom text

but nevertheless yea

[cursive ocean]

~~Is this a known bug? The card gets debuffed as it is played. I haven't touched any boss blinds or changed how Midas works.
Same thing happens with my own Jimbos that do something similar to Midas Mask.

[weak depot]

any help?

[cursive ocean]

I'm not getting the evaluate function to trigger either. Where did that definition come from?

I'm able to get something to trigger on every hand with, trigger_effect, but don't know how to grab the played hand from it.

SMODS.Back{
  name = "Reflective Deck",
  key = "rflctdeck",
  --atlas = '',
  pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
  loc_txt = {
      name ="Reflective Deck",
      text={
          "On hand played,",
          "One card in hand is {C:attention}Duplicated{}",
          "One card in deck is {C:attention}Destroyed{}"
      },
  },
  config = {discards = -1},
  unlocked = true,
  discovered = true,
  apply = function(self)
    print("hello apply")
    return true
  end,
  trigger_effect = function(self, args)
    print("hello trigger")
    printObj(args)
    printObj(self)
  end,
}

Can't see anything about an evaluate function in the Steammodded or OG Backs definitions hmm

[brisk rose]

Evaluate is just the name they gave it

They defined it themselves it looks

[cursive ocean]

Hm, I though maybe the game somehow knew to look for an implicit return of an evaluate function idk. It's not doing anything as far as I can tell anyway.

[cursive ocean]

trigger_effect is at least what e.g. the plasma deck uses to balance chips and mult. Just gotta figure out how to grab the actual hand played. Maybe that's buried in G.GAME somewhere 😐 like G.GAME.last_hand_played

Returning or calling another function in apply doesn't seem to work. But I've been wrong before

[weak depot]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/10.-SMODS.PokerHand

i'm glad i know about trigger_effect now LOL

still confused but we're getting somewhere

[tepid crow]

evaluate is for SMODS.Pokerhand, not for SMODS.Back

[weak depot]

yeah, i'm mostly having trouble finding the cards in a hand

[wintry solar]

You should be able to check G.play.cards in your trigger effect function

[tepid crow]

SMODS.Pokerhand is for creating an entirely new poker hand, not for finding cards in hand

[weak depot]

okay

[cursive ocean]

Here's a way to modify a random card at least

trigger_effect = function(self, args)
    print(args.context)
    if args.context == 'final_scoring_step' then
      ease_dollars(100)
      G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = "before",
        delay = 0.2,
        func = (function()
            local randomCardInDeck = G.playing_cards[math.random(1, #G.playing_cards)]
            randomCardInDeck:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_lucky, nil, true)
            return true
        end)
    }))
    end
  end

Or get some dollars

[weak depot]

saving that for later use, thanks :>

[cursive ocean]

Might not need to wrap it in an event

[weak depot]

if nothing else i slightly modified it to do the second half of the deck's gimmick, in that it destroys a random card in deck

            func = (function()
                local randomCardInDeck = G.playing_cards[math.random(1, #G.playing_cards)]
                randomCardInDeck:remove()
                return true
            end)

[hardy viper]

better to use the games pseudorandom functions other than math.random for seed related reasons

[cursive ocean]

good shouts

[weak depot]

out of curiosity, how does one use the pseudorandom functions?

take ```lua
local randomCardInDeck = G.playing_cards[math.random(1, #G.playing_cards)]

[opal spade]

pseudorandom element

[weak depot]

?

[opal spade]

pseudorandom_element(_t, seed)
_t is the table
seed is pseudorandom seed

[weak depot]

do i just leave seed blank for the one by default...?

[cursive ocean]

You could do

local randomCardInDeck = pseudorandom_element(G.playing_cards, pseudoseed(self.key))

[weak depot]

okay, thanks!!!

[cursive ocean]

A good learning experience this

This turns a random card in the deck lucky and a random card in the played hand lucky. Plays a gong and shows a little blurb.

It does not take into account if the card was scored.

trigger_effect = function(self, args)
    if args.context == 'final_scoring_step' then

      local randomCardInHand = pseudorandom_element(G.play.cards, pseudoseed(self.key))
      local randomCardInDeck = pseudorandom_element(G.playing_cards, pseudoseed(self.key))

      randomCardInDeck:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_lucky, nil, true)
      randomCardInHand:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_lucky, nil, true)


      play_sound('gong', 0.94, 0.3)
      play_sound('gong', 0.94*1.5, 0.2)
      play_sound('tarot1', 1.5)  

      attention_text({
        scale = 0.8, text = 'Stuff happening!', hold = 2, align = 'cm', offset = {x = 0,y = -2.7},major = G.play
      })
    end
  end,

[weak depot]

think i got it!

would send the code but discord won't let me LMAO

video of it

[cursive ocean]

powerful

[weak depot]

is it too busted?

[cursive ocean]

oh no i meant like. muscle power. well done

[weak depot]

OH okay thank you :> couldn't have done it w/o y'all's help so

[tepid sky]

reflected? interesting

[frigid flame]

what is happening here

i'm trying to understand

[frigid flame]

ah

i can see this being abused in many ways

[weak depot]

i'm worried it's too good

[frigid flame]

like i imagine it'd be insane at deckfixing

[weak depot]

yeah that was kinda my whole idea of it's use

flush five builds and whatnot

[frigid flame]

i'd say a decent trade-off would be something like

either hands leveling up slower

or blinds scaling faster

[weak depot]

i'll probably do blind scaling but damn that's the second scaling deck in this mod and there's only 5 decks LMAO

[weak depot]

okay, x1.5 base size

[opal spade]

pretty sure that deck isnt creating the duplicates properly

[weak depot]

it's a bit buggy, yeah

[opal spade]

it goes from 44 to 43 when it should stay at 44 or at least go back to 44

[weak depot]

i'm gonna try just turning a card in deck into the selected card

[rough furnace]

iirc creating cards in hand doesn't increment the deck count

double check with cryptid if that is the case

[opal spade]

wait it creates in hand

the delayed materialize is odd but what I was seeing is not an issue

[rough furnace]

oh wait is it in hand?

[wintry solar]

You have to add them to the tables yourself

[weak depot]

okay i went with a simpler approach, we just convert a card in deck to the one in hand

[opal spade]

ye it's in hand it just looks odd because the card is created and added to hand but materializes way after that

[weak depot]

that was also very buggy, which is why i wanted to fix it

i'd occasionally end up with invisible cards

there!

[rough furnace]

use the webcam to make the deck have a reflective effect

[frigid flame]

ah yes

casual breach of privacy

[nocturne garnet]

most complicated cryptid exotic joker code

[tepid sky]

if i wanted to remove a random card from played hand how do i do that?

[nocturne garnet]

like destroy or just remove it from played hand?

[tepid sky]

destroy

[nocturne garnet]

ah, i know how to do that

[tepid sky]

cuz i cannot figure it out for the life of me

[nocturne garnet]

is this before the hands are scored or nah

is this after or before cards are scored

[tepid sky]

eeh sure

that fits

also i've come up with this

but prob will be shi isn't it?

[nocturne garnet]

if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before then
    pseudorandom_element(context.full_hand,pseudoseed('random_destroyIDFK')):start_dissolve()
end```

something like this would work right

[tepid sky]

thats- hella sort lol

[nocturne garnet]

G.hand is the hands held, not the played hand btw

[tepid sky]

.-.

[nocturne garnet]

wait

[nocturne garnet]

yeah im pretty sure my code is right

hopefully

i think

maybe

[tepid sky]

if i wanted it to trigger on the last hand i would have to add: and #context.full_hand == 1

[nocturne garnet]

nono context.full_hand is the hand played

if you wanted to make it trigger on the last hand you would do

if G.GAME.current_round.hands_left == 0 then

[tepid sky]

ooh okay

WHY IS IT BLUEEEEE

oh

nvm

fixed

[weak depot]

i'm adding a custom sfx into my mod. here's the code:

SMODS.Sound({
    vol = 1,
    pitch = 1,
    key = "reflect",
    path = "reflect.ogg"
})
``` however, when i call ```lua
play_sound('reflect', 1, 0.5)
``` it doesn't work. any help? is there something i'm doing wrong here?

[tepid sky]

woops

[nocturne garnet]

why is that inside of context.joker_main

it should be inside context.before

[nocturne garnet]

okay theres wayy too many things wrong here

are you sure you have a card.ability.extra.chips

yk what im just gonna rewrite all of this

[hardy viper]

shift+alt+f

pleeeease

please

[weak depot]

it's saying it's not in the sounds folder, but it's in assets\sounds\reflect.ogg. i'm so confused

[nocturne garnet]

replace your calculate function as this

what im assuming your code is:

before playing hand, destroy a random card and gain Xmult
after playing hand, return Xmult

[nocturne garnet]

please format your code better btw

[frosty dock]

you'd need to prepend your mod prefix to the key when calling play_sound (this is to avoid collisons between mods)

[tepid sky]

ya thanks <3

[tepid sky]

i know, just like how i know that i need to actually learn lua 😞

also

rn when card is destroyed it is still gives chips

[nocturne garnet]

damn

i dont think thats a very important part so ehhh

[tepid sky]

lol

then i can change it to after right?

feels better now

lol

its gud

[tepid sky]

it does work but when they upgrade it seems to give an error ;-;

[nocturne garnet]

send error?

and send the whole joker too

[maiden phoenix]

the X isn't capitalized

[tepid sky]

also gives error when giving mult o-o

[maiden phoenix]

it's case-sensitive

for the message key

[tepid sky]

where is the uncappalized "x" then?

[maiden phoenix]

The thing you're highliting in the pic?

[tepid sky]

but everything is uppercase? ;-;

i cannot find the one that isn't

[tepid sky]

ooh

[maiden phoenix]

should be a_xmult

[tepid sky]

that way around

thank you! <3

gn now ;-;

SMODS.Joker needs to be between {}, not ({})

[tepid crow]

either way is fine

func{...} is just a Lua shortform version of func({...})

[maiden phoenix]

Oh

[tepid crow]

you can also do func"string" which is equivalent to func("string")

sent you on dm

its in the middle of everything being reshuffled soo

[nocturne garnet]

how do you add config stuff to your mod

like disableable stuff

[tepid crow]

true but I couldn't spot the issue in their code 😅

[nocturne garnet]

yippee!!!!

there should be tutorials for simple things like this

[tranquil gull]

reposting idea from #⚙・modding-general : vilatro (i.e. letting you play entirely with the keyboard)
rough sketch:

during a blind, you can press 1234567890 to select/deselect the 1st through 10th card in your hand, if you have >10 your hand goes off the screen and can be cycled through with arrow keys
deselect all with q and if you have only one selected you can move it by holding shift and inputting a position or using arrow keys
pressing enter plays, pressing backspace discards

pressing j shifts the focus to the jokers, where it's the same thing but you can only select one at once, and holding s for 1 second (configurable) sells it
same thing with k for consumables, except press enter to use
pressing / opens or closes deck view
in the shop, each buyable item is numbered (p sure you can't go over 10 in the shop in vanilla at least) and you can select one with number keys and buy with enter, buy and use with shift enter

there's more stuff i'd need to go over but yall get what i mean right
i might make this, might not tho bc college

[weak depot]

rad, thanks!

you can see it in action here #⚙・modding-general message

[hardy viper]

saving is slightly more difficult so gl with that one

well

it's not that hard at all

it's just like

nativefs stuff

2 lines worrh

[tepid crow]

steamodded handled all of the nativefs stuff for me in my config page

[hardy viper]

huh

how would it have done that

[wintry solar]

smods saves the configs when the window is closed

[hardy viper]

ok but wdym by that. how would it "save" anything when the config tab is just a function defined by the mod itself that returns a ui

[wintry solar]

it creates the config file based off of your default.lua, the saving just updates that table

[hardy viper]

unless there's some random undocumented config place where you can set values that are consistently saved which wouldn't be surprising because nothing in smods is documented

you have to create a file called "default.lua" to utilize smods config files?

[wintry solar]

I assume creating the table manually in the code will also work

[hardy viper]

ya ive never seen a mod with a default.lua file so

regardless it seems kinda pointless considering just doing the nativefs stuff is really easy

definitely easier than figuring out random undocumented smods stuff

ill never stop complaining about smods

[wintry solar]

theres plenty of mods using config files

[hardy viper]

maybe there are but i have never seen a file named default.lua

[rough furnace]

yeah iirc just current_mod.config will be saved when the config window is closed

[edgy reef]

Plus I thought that config.lua in the main file directory was considered the "default config"

[wintry solar]

it accepts both maybe?

[tepid crow]

yeah it's config.lua

[wintry solar]

default.lua definitely works too

wait

no

I am in the wrong folder

nvm

[edgy reef]

default.lua is for localization defaults

[wintry solar]

it is config.lua

yeah

[rough furnace]

yeah config.lua is for config

(I use it for other stuff and it's annoying)

[tepid crow]

yeah the documentation could definitely use some more improvements

[edgy reef]

They need more than improvements they need to actually be written

https://tenor.com/view/xddd-gif-11484761101775539239

[tepid sky]

:o nice! and agreed i stil havent figured it out lol

[tepid sky]

what if there isn't a return? 🤔

seemed to have figured it out

nvm

it just isn't working

[wintry solar]

What are you trying to do?

[tepid sky]

the shake

[brisk rose]

Can't you just only return that?

At the very end ofc

Of the calculate function

[tepid sky]

how would i do this? do i just put in a juice in this joker??

like this?

[nocturne garnet]

thats

not correct at all

first of all context.joker_main cant be inside context.individual

i believe you dont know how context.joker_main works?

context.joker_main is after every card scores, when most jokers like Joker trigger

its not what makes a joker trigger, its just an event that happens

[tepid sky]

not really nope

hmm okay

[nocturne garnet]

additionally, you cant return twice

returning ends the function, anything afterwards is cancelled

[tepid sky]

ah okey so it doesn't ends up in a loop or why?

[nocturne garnet]

returns are for returning values in a function

for example,

function iDontKnowWhatToNameThis(number)
      return number + 1
end

print(iDontKnowWhatToNameThis(3))
-- this will print the number 4, because the function returned the number + 1

[tepid sky]

so card = card doesn't need to be in the return?

[nocturne garnet]

what are you trying to achieve

[tepid sky]

litterally just letting all my jokers shake on activation

just like the base jokers ;-;

[nocturne garnet]

if you want to make a joker shake, just use card:juice_up() or also add card = card to the table

[tepid sky]

now before i do something stupid, what table, the return?

[nocturne garnet]

you're returning a table

[tepid sky]

ok thanks

[tepid sky]

problem with this was that card = card wouldn't work cuz i already have card = context.other_card

but i;ll try it with card:juice_up()

[brisk rose]

Yknow you can redefine variables, right?

[tepid sky]

i bairly know anything ;-;

[nocturne garnet]

instead try

context.other_card:juice_up()
return {
    chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips,
    mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
    card = card
}```

[tepid sky]

oh

[brisk rose]

Idk if card needs to stay context.other_card in this Cass though

[brisk rose]

To this

[brisk rose]

De man neither do I. You've already done a lot more actual modding than me

[tepid sky]

lol

[brisk rose]

It's true though

Also I meant dw

[tepid sky]

oh something worked

[brisk rose]

My closest thing to a mod I've made is DeFused which just reuses already made jokers by other people

[tepid sky]

still smth tho 🤷‍♂️

[brisk rose]

I've helped a lot with Pokermon, but only ideas and composing (not even drawing really) art

[brisk rose]

Yeah, but you're coding NLM which is also something, and well more of an actual original (the coding in know the ideas are nostky modlich) mod

[tepid sky]

honestly, i do have some idea's i u ever feel like it

[tepid sky]

now the played card is shaking lol

i am keeping it

its gud

[tepid sky]

also was making a scolar but with other kind of cards

[tepid sky]

i do like drawing, and making my idea's but i suck at art 😞

[tepid sky]

this shi-

y couldn;t i use self:juice_up()?

[wintry solar]

you can use card:juice_up() like we said at first

[tepid sky]

somehow it's all just not working

[wintry solar]

what isn't working

[tepid sky]

the card = card or card:juice_up()

[wintry solar]

can you send the entire calculate function?

[tepid sky]

:o

it worked

lol this one work when i discard smth

[wintry solar]

that'll work on every event

[tepid sky]

oh

it also crases my game when i use it,

idk what went wrong tho

[stray orbit]

i cant get function SMODS.current_mod.process_loc_text() to change text at all

is there more to it than this

[tepid sky]

He works!

[tepid sky]

What that supposed to do?

Just wondering

[stray orbit]

its meant to set stuff in the localisation files

so in the screenshot i sent the default joker should be called test test test test rather than Joker

but idk how to make it work

[tepid sky]

Ooh cool

hi! im trying to make a planet card that upgrades the most played hand, but, im not entirely sure on how to achieve that 😭

i, remember seeing there was a mod that had that kind of functionality but i cant seem to find it anymore unfortunately

does anyone know of a way to do that?

the,, closest thing i can think of is manually having a use code for it but otherwise idk jsdhsdjh

[tepid crow]

Cryptid's white hole does stuff with the most played poker hand

[hybrid iris]

ooh interesting

okok ill take a look at that, tyy

[shell timber]

oh yeah that was the autumn circus iirc

which yeah

[crisp elbow]

Yeah I think there's also Station from Jen's

[frosty dock]

you just missed a letter, it's process_loc_text not process_loc_txt

[stray orbit]

oh my goodness

im sure i couldnt get it to work in times before this tho

ill try it

oh my gosh thank you so much

lmao

[frosty dock]

completely my fault for using inconsistent naming

[stray orbit]

hahaha no worries

[frosty dock]

tbf that's been off my mind since the standard has become using localization files

[stray orbit]

this function works best for what im making

since im trying to make a mod that lets you rename jokers and collection items from in game and it would be nice to have them change immediately

[frosty dock]

it's interchangeable, the files are also just loaded and executed as a lua function. I guess it's slightly more convenient in that case

the main advantage of using files is easily being able to support multiple languages

which you might not care too much about

[stray orbit]

if i could get my mod to write to the default.lua file that would be perfect

is there a nice steamodded way to do that or should i try actual file io stuff

cuz i would love to have it support all languages

[frosty dock]

sounds like it'd require actual file io, though steamodded does come with a library for that, removing love2d's restrictions. there's also a util method to serialize tables into valid lua format and a json library, whichever one you'd want to use for your language file (both lua and json files are accepted)

[stray orbit]

ill look into it

where would i read up on the steamodded io library

[frosty dock]

it's not a steamodded library per say, it's called nativefs

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/tree/main/nativefs

[stray orbit]

[primal robin]

I found easy reproducible silent game crash. Maybe it will help for someone to make try-catcher better, idk

SilentCrashClass = setmetatable(Object:extend(), {
    __call = function(table, ...)
        local __index_ref = table.__index or rawget
        table.__index = function(t, index)
            return __index_ref(table, index)
        end
        local obj = setmetatable({}, table)
        obj:init(...)
        return obj
    end,
})

local test = SilentCrashClass()
print(tostring(test.something))

[hard mica]

I'm actually curious on how I could start making mods for balatro

[limpid wing]

there are mod examples in steamodded, you can watch code from other mods for learn how do things

[hard mica]

Alrighty thank you!

[hybrid iris]

hi! im having this weird problem with the SMODS.create_card function where for some reason, the cards generate in the right area but arent actually added as a consumeable

sdjfhsjdfh i, cant tell what the specific issue is for this one

nvm, fixed it!

forgot to use emplace on the card

[surreal marsh]

these cards so cool

[hybrid iris]

tyyy

ksdfjhdskfjh okay uh

im trying to make a joker that turns all consumables being held into their "rotten" form

but i, cant seem to get this code to fully work-

because im trying to make an exception for when it's already the rotten form

but it doesnt, seem to work?

sdfkjhsdkfjh

like it replaces the card even if it's the same key

[brisk rose]

Does replacing it with itself change anything?

[hybrid iris]

wdym?

[brisk rose]

I mean... it sounds kinda cosmetic if it just replaced a rotten consumable with itself

Unless I'm missing smth

It being the bug

[edgy reef]

Couldn't you use set_ability to change the card without destroying it?

[hybrid iris]

oh huh

i did not think about that

[hybrid iris]

I mean-
the biggest issue is with gift card, destroying it and then creating a new one loses benefits

though i suppose that would be a very minor case

dsfjhsdfkjh

[hybrid iris]

how does the set_ability function work?

if, i may ask

ksdfjhsdfkjh

[edgy reef]

You call set_ability passing the center of the rotten consumable on the card you want replaced

Something like ```lua
v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["c_tma_the_rot"])

[hybrid iris]

ahhh

sjdhsdjhsd

okok, cool!

thank you, so much

ill see if that works

,,sdkfjh

apparently not-

,,,hm

[edgy reef]

Maybe the key to the rotten consumable is wrong?

[hybrid iris]

well, it worked before

the key in the declaration is like

"tma_the_rot" so i assume it should be "c_tma_the_rot"??? sdjfhksdkjfh

[crisp elbow]

Isn't it your mod prefix?

[hybrid iris]

i,, dont believe i have one-

[crisp elbow]

your mod would automatically make one

[hybrid iris]

oh-

[crisp elbow]

I think it would be insc, it automatically makes one with the first 4 letters of your mod id

[hybrid iris]

,,,really?
it worked before at least-

or i mean, it didnt matter before

but anyways figured it out, it seems like there's a weird difference between "" and '' that i still dont quite get

jsdfkhsdfkjh

[crisp elbow]

idk if smods specifically has one

but usually I think ' ' is for variables and " " is for strings?

[edgy reef]

There's no difference

They're both handled as string

[hybrid iris]

,,,oh huh

well weirdly enough just changing that seemed to fix it fsr

Yeah wait what

this just, fixed, the whole replacing issue

i think

,,,okay!! yeah!! it worked!

[tepid crow]

lua doesn't care, they're both strings

[hybrid iris]

my only problem with this solution is that it,, doesnt have any animation to it 😭

[tepid crow]

you could have the card juice up?

[hybrid iris]

,,,ooh, maybe

[tepid crow]

is your dot key broken?

[hybrid iris]

oh no this is just how i type

i like the look of commas more

[tepid crow]

bet

[hybrid iris]

sorry to ask another question

is there a way to apply a sticker to a joker card?

and like, remove them?

[edgy reef]

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

[hybrid iris]

oooh

gotcha, thank you!!

[hybrid iris]

i cant seem to understand this enhancement API

is it supposed to be treated like a standard joker?

[hybrid iris]

where are the calculations for enhancements done?

im trying to reference the base code but i cant find anything dsjfhksdfjh

[brisk rose]

I'd say look how ortalab does it

[hybrid iris]

im looking and it doesnt really teach me anything 😭

also im so confused what's the difference between config and ability

because like
they seem, exactly the same in essence???

and other mods im looking at has abilities declared in config i think??

but like
the game doesnt seem to like it when i do that

[brisk rose]

Are you making sure ability is a table?

Idk of that'll make it work, but I think that's what the error means

[hybrid iris]

I have no clue

most mods im looking at dont create an ability table but use it all the same

[brisk rose]

So this is how ortalab (the new demo) and to do it. Seems straightforward and very much like a 🃏

[hybrid iris]

😭 yes i looked at the files already

sdfkjhsdfkjhd sorry

[brisk rose]

It's okay, obviously it isn't working right for you

[hybrid iris]

its,, just that like-
"ability" just seems to be lost on me for some reason

[hybrid iris]

yeahhh,,,

earlier i was trying to do an enhancement similar to ortalab's sand

but like, i, dont see any of the code that reduces the card's xmult

[brisk rose]

First thing ifmd day that almost certainly went fix your problem, but will remove a variable is to downgrade to the lovely beta 6

[hybrid iris]

huh-

wdym?

did the new beta like,
break bunch of stuff?

[brisk rose]

Not all that much but enough where it isn't being used by pretty much anybody who plays with a lot of mods

[hybrid iris]

ahhh

,,,fair

[brisk rose]

So the actual code for this is seems to be in a lovely patch. Smods.enhancement is incredibly incomplete if this is actually nessacary, but I have a feeling it's more of a choice

I think the lovely patch might just be because of the fancy art effect

[wintry solar]

It was a choice for timing, you can absolutely change the values in a normal calculate function

[edgy reef]

Enhancement improvements were meant to be timed with calculation improved but then ejwu evaporated and nobody really knows how the better calc pr works now.

[wintry solar]

I am pretty sure though that enhancement calculation works to a perfectly acceptable level, and Math fixed edition calculations too

In terms of the config vs ability, when the centers are created, it copies the config table into the ability table, with some caveats in that it’ll only accept certain keywords for value names, hence the use of an extra table which is copied in it’s entirety

[glossy stone]

after OS comes out i want to make an inverse tsunami
a billion burnt jokers

[teal estuary]

quick question, what would be a good mod to learn how to make editions? deciding to dip my toes into something non-joker

[glossy stone]

totally not inspired by ANY character in ANY game especially not a.... haha.....

[wintry solar]

there's a lot in cryptid and jens almanac, and the new ortalab demo has some too

[teal estuary]

ty ty

i just realised im an idiot, i meant enhancement (although, i presume those mods also have those)

[wintry solar]

ortalab has a load of those, yeah

[teal estuary]

yipee

[frosty dock]

a

[languid mirage]

nice

[frosty dock]

now for auto updating

there should probably be options for both git and no git, right?

[teal estuary]

do enhancements just not have loc_txt? or am i stupid?

[wintry solar]

all the ortalab loc_txt's are in the localization file

[teal estuary]

ooooh

makes sense, makes sense

[teal estuary]

is there a way to give cards enchancements using the debug tool, or do i gotta go find these through normal gameplay?

[frosty dock]

with DebugPlus, by pressing W

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/blob/master/keys.txt

[teal estuary]

OOOOH

caps, but ty

[frigid flame]

you can also like

go to collection

find the tarot that makes the card that enhancement

press 3 with your mouse over it

[wintry swallow]

Imagine a mobile port of that

[tepid sky]

No mobile modding

[wintry swallow]

But just imagine though

Imagine balatro had mod support for mobile

[tepid sky]

But we are only allowed to discuss modded for pc

Its the rules

[wintry swallow]

But im just saying dude, imagine there were mods for the mobile port, thats what i mean

[regal wolf]

Yeah, but like MiniRebel said don’t talk about mobile modding

[frosty dock]

🤔 actually I'm not so sure how to do that without git, specifically checking for updates first before anything else

i could save commit hashes somewhere ig, but how do i get them

[regal wolf]

What are you trying to do?

[nocturne garnet]

have i cooked with these new spectrals

[regal wolf]

There’s a template in the game texture files for all the different card types. You could try using that to unify the art style

[brisk rose]

This mfer ain't got drugs in his blood, he got blood in his drugs

auto-update mods based on mod index data

[muted timber]

guys why is chips nil here

i changed the plasma part to
if (self.name == 'Plasma Deck' or string.match(self.name, 'Test Deck') and args.context == 'final_scoring_step') then

that wouldnt break anything right

hmm only crashes in plasma deck

[wintry solar]

you need another bracket after your check for your deck

[nocturne garnet]

does anyone know where SMODS.Edition.super.register is defined?

i cant find it anywhere

[wintry solar]

that'll be the center register

[nocturne garnet]

trying to make certain things appear in the Spectrals collection instead

i see

[muted timber]

oh thanks, i forgot lmao

[teal estuary]

question, do enhancements use the same sort of structure as a joker for its calculate() function?

like “if context.X and not context.Y then”, “[something else]”, “[actual function]”

cuz im currently lost as fuck with the code i need to add to this to do what i want it do 😭

[nocturne garnet]

nvm it turns out G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Edition is a thing

[wintry solar]

yes

[teal estuary]

sick, cool

[wintry solar]

obviously they will only have the ones that are called on cards rather than jokers though

[teal estuary]

ofc ofc

wanna make sure because im still clueless as fuck, if i want to check the played cards, it'd be something like:

if context.indivdual and context.cardarea == G.play then 
return{
  --stuff here
}
end

?

[wintry solar]

if you spell individual correct, sure

[teal estuary]

😭

i have spelt it correctly in the code, yes

ty though

is this looking all good then?

[wintry solar]

oh right

there's a difference in how you have to return

[teal estuary]

oh?

code doesnt do anything anyway lmaooo

[wintry solar]

basically, it doesn't return to anywhere the way it's implemented, so you have to either use SMODS.eval_this or edit the effect table manually

you cna do effect.mult = card.ability.extra.repetitions

[teal estuary]

ohhh okay, gotcha

i just realised that it shouldnt be mult and it should be repetitions, whoops

but if i do effect.repetitions = , would that all just "work" or would i need to replace it with the .eval_this as well?

[wintry solar]

that would probably work, yeah

I'm not 100% on how repetitions interact with enhancements

[teal estuary]

thats fair enough

there we are, now its doing something

(the entire crash log, currently looking at ortalab code though)

[wintry solar]

can you send your enhancement code

[teal estuary]

sure

[wintry solar]

eval this doesn't handle repetitions
