fair

[limpid wing]

how i can put the blind score scaling of gold stake?

[loud citrus]

i think challenger deep can help with that

[hallow forge]

set teh stake to gold stake as part of the challenge

[wintry solar]

I imagine you can set G.GAME.modifiers.scaling to 3 in your apply function

[limpid wing]

ok, thanks

i will do it rn

[limpid wing]

what lua extension you recommend for vs code?

[hardy viper]

luals with the love and nativefs extensions for luals

thats what i use

oh wait

theres no nativefs addon

what am i on about

[tepid crow]

config stuff in steamodded (since I cannot find any documentation on it):

Create a config.lua file in the top level directory of your mod. It can look as simple as:

return {
  setting = true,
  multivalue = 5
}

This file will be the "default" settings for anyone first installing your mod.

Steamodded will then automatically copy your default config to %AppData%/Balatro/config/[your mod id].jkr when any setting is changed from the defaults.
You don't need to worry about/deal with saving to or loading from this file, just thought I'd document it.

Now you need to give the user the ability to manipulate their config. The easiest way and most conventional way is to do so by using SMODS.current_mod.config_tab:

local your_mod = SMODS.current_mod

SMODS.current_mod.config_tab = function()
  -- lots of UI stuff - you might want to check other mods for more elaborate examples
  return {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config = {align = "cm", padding = 0.05, r = 0.1, colour = G.C.BLACK}, nodes = {
    create_toggle{ 
      -- making use of the base game function create_toggle by Thunk - look at its sourcecode to see the customization options
      label = "label", 
      w = 0,  -- hacky hack to force toggle to center when label length is less than 3
      ref_table = your_mod.config, 
      ref_value = "setting" 
    },
    create_option_cycle{
      -- or use create_option_cycle for cycles - again, see sourcecode for extensive customization, and other mods for examples
      label = "label2", 
      ref_table = your_mod.config, 
      ref_value = "multivalue",
      opt_callback = function()
        -- you will need to define this function otherwise the value will not be saved, see e.g.  https://github.com/Eremel/Galdur/blob/master/galdur.lua#L808
      end
    }
  }}
end

Finally, if you want to read from the config, it's as simple as:

if your_mod.config["setting"] or your_mod.config["multivalue"] > 3 then
  ...
end

All that should result in something like this:

[gilded narwhal]

What do you guys like better?

24 hands and 24 discards, hands and discards don't get reset at end of round
OR
6 hands and 6 discards, hands and discards get reset at end of ante

[tepid crow]

what is this for? a joker? a deck? a challenge?

[gilded narwhal]

Deck

Shoulda said that 😭

[brisk rose]

The first one has no endless potential

So the second one

[gilded narwhal]

Gotcha

[opal spade]

what about combining them

24 hands 24 discards
reset after beating a showdown blind

[gilded narwhal]

I still think the second one better

Feels more balanced

[tepid crow]

I also like the second more I think

[tranquil gull]

is rthethere a way to just. draw text on screen. at all times

or like can i hoodk into love.draw in any way

[brisk rose]

I mean you can just... use love functions. Idk if it'll work right at all times I guess

[tranquil gull]

okayyy so i need to traverse the ui tree to find a specific button

so i can call a function to simulate clicking that button

how would i access said ui tree

(i need specifically the Select Blind button)

(and the Skip Blind button but that's for later)

G.blind_select.UIRoot.children[1].children[1].config.object:get_UIE_by_ID('select_blind_button')

ah here we go (?)

[topaz sun]

Is there a way to have a joker loaded but not show up in the collection page?

[brisk rose]

Probably, but I'm kinda curious of the purpose

[loud citrus]

does anyone know how to do this? or is there a mod i can take example from

[brisk rose]

Like shaders?

[topaz sun]

Secret versions of jokers that do not spawn, but are given in specific situations/scenarios

[brisk rose]

Not my vibe, but makes sense

[brisk rose]

So there must be a cleaner way, but using a dummy edition would get it working

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/07.-SMODS.Edition

How do you apply a specific shader to a joker by default?

(To whoever knows)

[brisk rose]

In any case, jokers that don't down normally still usual show up on the collection

You could just have them locked/undiscovered by default and handle the pool seperately

I think the benefit to it still being in the collection is once people do manage to get it, they can look back at what it does later

And idk if people don't wanna play along and unlock them manually that's their prerogative. Still won't mean it actually spawns

[silent pawn]

you could just make them undiscovered

[topaz sun]

That's a good point, actually.

It's just a "better" version of a joker in the mod with similar sprite that you can only get from using a particular deck and sleeve combo

[brisk rose]

Yeah I figured it was something like that

[topaz sun]

That's why I wanted to hide it, to not have two similar sprites in the collection. But makes sense that people would want to look back at them to see the desc text

[brisk rose]

Maybe figure out the clicking thing that tarots dx does?

Though I don't think it's really nessacary

[topaz sun]

I'll take a look

Thanks!

[brisk rose]

Np :3

Oh I also noticed the legendary in the pack seems to say 'not yet made' in the description, effect though it spawns

If I'm thinkinh of the right pack

In yours I mean

[topaz sun]

It says "not yet created" after the card is created?

[brisk rose]

Oh I see

Nvm

Is it the inactive color? If so I just brainfarted

[brisk rose]

And in parethesis

[topaz sun]

Yeah lol. Nah, I actually think it's maybe a little ambiguous

[brisk rose]

Inactive and in parenthesis right below the line is referring to is standard formatting

So if it's that it's on me

[topaz sun]

But yes, it's the inactive text. It's supposed to say "already created" when it does create the joker, to let you know it won't create any more jokers

[brisk rose]

Yeah I understand the purpose now

I thought it was like dev text for some reason, lol

But that's perfectly in line with how joker descriptions work

[topaz sun]

lol I mean, it's a little unorthodox. But it works

[brisk rose]

It works exactly like dozens of other joker descriptions. I should really know this playing when over 1200 jokers, lmfao

But my brain did a thing I guess

[topaz sun]

Happens to the best of us

[brisk rose]

Unless the exporter just strips it. Maybe a line break between the two effects would help for clarity

And maybe 'not yet created' should be in an extra pair of parathesis

To group it as kinda a subclause

[timid parrot]

maybe remove the "not yet created" text and instead replace the "must have room" text with the "already created" text

once it's created

[brisk rose]

Oh good idea

[silent pawn]

do stone cards have a context.other_card:get_id()

[timid parrot]

given "must have room" is kinda redundant when the ability's no longer gonna work

[hallow forge]

yes

[silent pawn]

whats the id for them

[hallow forge]

-1000000 to -10

it's random

[silent pawn]

why is it like that 😭

[timid parrot]

I take it that's so that the stone cards get sorted in a random order?

[hallow forge]

it's so they don't count as thier own rank

[timid parrot]

and always before the other cards

ah that too

[silent pawn]

but why is it random in such a large range

[timid parrot]

sorting I'd assume

[silent pawn]

yea

i mean it makes sense why stone cards always draw to the very right now

xd

[brisk rose]

If not for the low memory allocation, balatro would be very scalable

[hallow forge]

so they almost never match ids

[timid parrot]

stone cards do have a preferred order when you have a lot of them. Even if you rearrange them, sorting them will snap them back to their original positions

[topaz sun]

I thought about the line break part, but it would get the joker into the 5 line territory and make the textbox look kinda weird in game. Would the parenthesis help in the exporter?

[brisk rose]

Yeah or just what the other guy said

[topaz sun]

Awesome idea

Next update it'll be fixed

[timid parrot]

thanks

[silent pawn]

wait so if on the off chance you got 2 stone cards with the same id would they play as a pair 😭

[hallow forge]

yes

probably

[silent pawn]

didnt know that thats kind of funny

are stone cards the only cards with a negative id

[hybrid iris]

is it possible to change the description of playing cards when you hover over them?

im, making a card that would make the chips given by cards random and i want to do a misprint description on the cards whenever i have that joker

[brisk rose]

Pretty sure you can take ownership of any thing to change its loc text. Or do something more elegant I'd be unlikely to gravitate towards if I were to finally code a mod

[hybrid iris]

ill,, just look into that later sjdhsdjh

[orchid thunder]

But yeah is there any way to delete the blind circle

[hallow forge]

yes

[silent pawn]

am i right in saying xchips isnt implemented into steamodded by default

i cant get it to work in the slightest

[hallow forge]

yes

[silent pawn]

thats so annoying

[hallow forge]

y do u need XChips anyway?

[brisk rose]

It must be easy to implement, like 5 people have done it

All probably copying talisman for compat. Because I've had no issues mixing different implementations

[hallow forge]

more than 5 people have become quantum physicists

must be even easier

[silent pawn]

😭

someone remind me to become a quantum physicist once i get xchips working

[topaz sun]

you gotta make a lovely patch for xchips or emult or whatever

[orchid thunder]

How?

[hallow forge]

don't know off the top of my head

[rough furnace]

I belive talisman implements it if you want to depend on it

[orchid thunder]

Hmm ok

[hallow forge]

(not if reference to SMG's thing)

[orchid thunder]

Yeah I understood that

[topaz sun]

You can inject the xchips code in these two blocks of code in the state_events.lua file from the base game. Just follow the same syntax and add a prefix before the xchips thing

[orchid thunder]

Wait is Xchips not in base game at all?

[hallow forge]

it's not

[topaz sun]

like if effect.pfx_Xchips_mod then mult = mod_mult(hand_chips*effect.pfx_Xchips_mod);extras.hand_chips = true end

basically just copy the Xmult and change Xmult to Xchips and mult to hand_chips

[topaz sun]

I mean it's basically the same as Xmult. Xmult and Xchips have the same effect on the final score

[silent pawn]

yea

i just wanna use xchips for aesthetic reasons

[topaz sun]

i get it

[silent pawn]

such a hassle

[topaz sun]

I used it for the same reasons

[silent pawn]

is there no way i can individually just multiply the chips amount for one specfic joker or do i have to fully implement it

cus its so much work to use it for one joker 😭

[topaz sun]

Let's say it's X4 Chips. Maybe you could do like

  hand_chips = hand_chips * 4
end```
I'm not sure that'd work though

[silent pawn]

is it possible to declare multiple atlases in the same script

my game shits bricks when i try

[brisk rose]

Can we see your code?

[silent pawn]

sure thing

all i want to do is add an icon damn it

the crash specifically complains about line 28 which is so random

my brain is gonna explode its 6am

[brisk rose]

I think you need register {} or similar after each atlas definition

Look at how pokermon does it

[silent pawn]

does that include SMODS.Joker

[brisk rose]

https://github.com/InertSteak/Pokermon/blob/main/pokesprites.lua

[silent pawn]

like this yea?

[brisk rose]

The smods.joker objects are in a different file

But yes do exist

[brisk rose]

Yeah I think so

[brisk rose]

But that's just for organization

[silent pawn]

still throwing out this error

INFO - [G] 2024-10-23 06:00:03 :: ERROR :: StackTrace :: Oops! The game crashed

WAIT

i hate my life

i put py instead of px

or rather

px instead of py

😭

[silent pawn]

look at lines 22 and 23 thats so embarrassing 😭

[brisk rose]

Lol very easy to do

[brisk rose]

Catter :3

[tepid sky]

Ngl, i might mess with the texture changing

Sometime

[silent pawn]

😮‍💨

[tepid sky]

Wow

Looks marble or sand(y)

[silent pawn]

yeah its marble

[tepid sky]

Nice

[silent pawn]

how do i refer to the cards in the played hand

i thought it was context.played but doesnt seem to work

[opal spade]

G.play.cards

[vagrant moth]

Modding help: How do I check if a card in my played hand has a specific Enhancement?

[silent pawn]

ty

[vagrant moth]

It's for this card:
Library Card (uncommon joker)
Gains X0.1 Mult if played hand contains a Flush and a Wild Card

[frosty dock]

or context_full_hand (which is the same) and context.scoring_hand (which is scored cards only)

[loud citrus]

i don't know what i'm looking at but thank you for helping
i'm sure it tells me how to apply a shader somewhere

[shell timber]

would this only appear if you have a wild card like how glass joker / lucky cat etc. appear?

[silent pawn]

oh yeah context.scoring_hand is what im looking for thanks

is context.scoring_hand:get_id() == the correct way to search for a specific card id out of scoring cards

[vagrant moth]

Steamodded's Example Jokers don't tell me how to do that sadly 😔

But good idea

[brisk rose]

if card.ability==[enhancement]?

that;s what I come up with trying to read the code

[vagrant moth]

👍

[brisk rose]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/main/core/game_object.lua
here's the relevent file

[loud citrus]

strange question, if i remove card from card.ability does it become global across all values that use it?
i'm trying to make an enchantment ability that stacks, for each of this enchantment that's discarded next played hand get's plus 20 chips. i'm using the extra value so if you exit the game doesn't forget.

[brisk rose]

maybe look at betmma's voucher that lets enhancements of the same kind stack?

[vagrant moth]

if context.joker_main and next(context.poker_hands['High Card']) and not context.blueprint then
        mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
        message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
end```

Does this wording work?

Sword Swallower (common)
+4 Mult if played hand is exactly a High Card. If it's the first High Card this round, +1 Hand.

I would also like to ask about how I can add a "once per round" counter to a Joker that resets after each Blind.

Thanks!

[silent pawn]

you can probably use a boolean that sets to true when you trigger the joker, and reset it back to false once the blind ends

[vagrant moth]

That's the plan, though I have no idea how to do that

[loud citrus]

very cool :)

[vagrant moth]

SMODS.Joker {
  key = 'swordSwallower',
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Sword Swallower',
    text = {
      "+4 {C:mult}+#1#{} Mult if played hand is,",
      "{C:attention}exactly{} a {C:attention}High Card{}",
      "If it's the first {C:attention}High Card{}",
      "this round, {C:chips}+1{} Hand"
    }
  },
  config = { extra = { mult = 4, swallowed = false } },
  rarity = 1,
  atlas = 'MASS',
  pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
  cost = 4,
  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 and next(context.poker_hands['High Card']) and not context.blueprint then
        mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
        message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
        if swallowed == false then
            ease_hands_played(1),
            swallowed = true
        end
    end
    if context.setting_blind and not (context.blueprint_card or card).getting_sliced then
        swallowed = false
    end
  end
}```
Here's the tentative code for Sword Swallower

[loud citrus]

looking at the game's code and other mods can help teach you in what to do, epically context, there's a whole context deicated to first hand i think

[vagrant moth]

👍

Seems to be it, thanks!

[loud citrus]

🎉

[loud citrus]

i completely forgot there's a mod with several enchantments that do exactly what i'm looking for

YES I DID IT AND I FEEL LIKE A GENIUS

[vagrant moth]

Any idea how to fix this?

[frosty dock]

not without your code, you just have a syntax error somewhere

[frosty dock]

also may I suggest context.scoring_name == 'High Card', your current version is for "contains a High Card"

[vagrant moth]

Found it

thanks!

[loud citrus]

so right now i don't know how to add the chips the throwing card yields, i don't even know if i can just simply put context.before becuase i think it's expecting my enchantment to be involved

[silent pawn]

whats the context for checking ids of scoring cards

my brain is going to explode

[vagrant moth]

message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }```
Which "=" has the problem?

[silent pawn]

show the whole area of code

like the surrounding maybe 3-4 lines either side

[vagrant moth]

      -- :get_id tests for the rank of the card. Other than 2-10, Jack is 11, Queen is 12, King is 13, and Ace is 14.
      if context.other_card:get_id() == 10 or context.other_card:get_id() == 4 then

[vagrant moth]

  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main and next(context.poker_hands['High Card']) and not context.blueprint then
        mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
        message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
        if G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
            ease_hands_played(1)
        end
    end
  end```

[silent pawn]

what exactly does other_card refer to

[silent pawn]

idk if this is a discord moment but it looks like everything inside ur if is double indented

but i think discord is maybe formatting it funny

[vagrant moth]

The card being scored.

[brisk rose]

lua ignores whitespace

so it's irrelevent besides for readability

[wintry solar]

mult_mod and message should be within a return table

[silent pawn]

would it have to be if context.joker_main and context.other_card:get_id()

idk why it indented like that

[vagrant moth]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
is fine too, straight off of the example code for Walkie Talkie 2

[brisk rose]

all the same to luajit

[silent pawn]

but if i try and use only context.other_card:get_id() then it crashes when i play/discard

[wintry solar]

Joker_main doesn’t use other_card

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1247703015222149120

[silent pawn]

oh shit incredibly useful

thanks

got it to work

:D

[vagrant moth]

The "if combo == 3" isn't working, even though I am playing three or more cards that meet the condition.

calculate = function(self, card, context)
local combo = 0
    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
      if context.other_card:get_id() == 3 or context.other_card:get_id() == 6 or context.other_card:get_id() == 9 or context.other_card:get_id() == 12 then

        combo = combo + 1
        if combo == 3 then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain
            return {
                message = 'Upgraded!',
                colour = G.C.RED,
                card = card
            }
        end
        return {
          chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
          mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
          card = context.other_card
        }
      end
      end
end

[tepid crow]

Combo gets reset on every call to the function

[vagrant moth]

Nooooooooooo...

[silent pawn]

why does it not display the message?

[vagrant moth]

Made the combo thing work, but how do I make the first return table not "eat" the second one?

[brisk rose]

returning ends a function I think, not just a loop or if statement

so i'm not sure the second one is even seen

might be mistaken though

[vagrant moth]

Thought so. How do I put two "messages" in one return table?

Like, I want to put a copy of the second one in the first.

[brisk rose]

not sure, gonna have to wait for someone who isn't just talking out of their ass like me and actually codes, lol

[frosty dock]

you can't, you'd have to use SMODS.eval_this (or card_eval_status_text directly) to display multiple messages

[vagrant moth]

Tinkered with eval_this and it works! Thanks!

[tepid crow]

btw @wintry solar, I was just thinking, would it be nice if the cycle_update func was always defined?
aka integrated into steamodded, there's even existing code in steamodded that I think would be able to use it

G.FUNCS.cycle_update = function(args)
    args = args or {}
    if args.cycle_config and args.cycle_config.ref_table and args.cycle_config.ref_value then
        args.cycle_config.ref_table[args.cycle_config.ref_value] = args.to_key
    end
end

I already have it copied in my mod in case galdur isnt loaded

[teal estuary]

dont you need a then before the return .. end?

so:

card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.plustone then
return{
  --message stuff
}
end```

[frosty dock]

no

[brisk rose]

it's not an if statement, it's just... a statement

[frosty dock]

because card IDs usually aren't negative

[teal estuary]

ah, fair enough

[frosty dock]

you're effectively checking for stone cards

[teal estuary]

thats what they are doing

[wintry solar]

Yeah I can see this being something that would be nice to have implemented as standard

[silent pawn]

yeah, exactly what im doing

when i play a stone card the message isnt displayed

upgrades the card tho

tested it without the ids condition as well so its not the fact that its a stone card

[hybrid iris]

,,,hm

[hybrid iris]

from a first glance, the message can't just directly be the string, if i remember correctly

it has to be equal to a localize() function

try message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')

also, you dont need to check if it's id is negative to see if it's a stone card, context.other_card.ability.name == "Stone Card" in the if statement would do the same thing

[frosty dock]

no, that also just returns a string

[hybrid iris]

,,,wait, really?

ahh,,

wait nvm, i see

hmm

[frosty dock]

oh I see, it's weirdness with individual context then

[silent pawn]

yeah i thought so but for the rest of the functionality of the card individual is needed

[frosty dock]

this is preferred because other rankless/suitless enhancements may exist

[silent pawn]

otherwise the upgrade itself is never applied

[frosty dock]

yeah no it's possible, it just works differently

[silent pawn]

yea

im guessing using individual it just never really gets told when to display so it just doesnt

[frosty dock]

return {
  extra = { focus = card, message = 'Upgrade!' },
  card = card,
  colour = G.C.CHIPS,
}

[hybrid iris]

,,,i remember having this problem before, but i dont know exactly what i did to fix it

[frosty dock]

no, return values from individual are just processed differently to everything else for some reason

[hybrid iris]

yeah maybe try that-

[frosty dock]

it's a ism

[silent pawn]

looks about right

[hybrid iris]

ahhh

[silent pawn]

ill try it later thanks ^^

[frosty dock]

it's often useful to think about if there's a vanilla joker that does something similar

[silent pawn]

yeah i was trying to the closest one i could think of was steel

[frosty dock]

in this case, the first one I thought of was wee joker

[hybrid iris]

the first i thought of was hiker

[silent pawn]

oh you're right xd

[hybrid iris]

but yeah all similar

[silent pawn]

you guys got closer than me then aha

[frosty dock]

yeah hiker also has the same trigger condition, works just as well

[silent pawn]

idk why i didnt think of hiker tbh,,

[brisk rose]

tbh probably more useful to think of similar mod jokers

already being in smod format and all

[silent pawn]

i looked at steel and walkie talkie 😭

[silent pawn]

yea true

my main reference for vanilla jokers is just the logic behind them

[wintry solar]

how the context returns are handled is so strange to say it's a one man production

why are they all so different

[frosty dock]

There's also lucky cat and 8 ball that work the same way, but that's actually it

4/150 isn't great odds ngl

[silent pawn]

xd

[hybrid iris]

yeahhh

[brisk rose]

I feel like thunk's style was evolving as he went

and who wants to recode already working shit?

[frosty dock]

Card:calculate_joker is a mess in and of itself too, it would have really used some refactoring

[silent pawn]

when i was thinking of similar modded jokers the first one that came to mind is the menu card from SDMs stuff(?)

[brisk rose]

http://lshtech.github.io

good resource for modded objects

and vanillia ones too technically

there;s my site too made with the same exporter, but I think elbe downloaded my whole modpack, so he has everything I do and lots more

but yeah you can just find something there and then look up its code

[silent pawn]

iconic icon - and its just not the card i was looking at xd

[hybrid iris]

oh cool

saved

[silent pawn]

saving that aha

cant find the card i was thinking of maybe its in cryptid or something

m

[brisk rose]

all the cryptid jokers are there too

what sort of thing are you looking for exactly, I have a fairly decent memory for mod jokers,
I could probably dig something up

[primal robin]

Rate limit (

[brisk rose]

hmm?

[brisk rose]

yeah must just be their ddos protection

because I'm not getting that

[primal robin]

Also images for blinds does not work

[brisk rose]

yeah that's athe exporter just not working right yet

elbe has been busy porting basically the entire backlog of old balatro mods to work on 1.0, lol

[primal robin]

Also add for all images loading="lazy"

Or any other lazy-loading technique

[brisk rose]

@dense jasper

I helped concept the exporter in the beggining, but it's all elbe's thing

https://github.com/lshtech/CardExporter
if you wanna see or contribute to the code, or use it yourself

[brisk rose]

yes the images aren't all working yet

[brisk rose]

useage is it adds a menu to the pause menu only if you're in a run (due to how it gets the card objects) to export all of the objects in your game to a website like that

export location is %appdata%/balatro/output

and you can just put everything it spits there right on a github.io or any other free hosting site

#1292331049883533322 here's the defacto thread for it

as I said, I helped with concepting in the begging and started trying to code, but elbe had the same idea earlier and beat me to it, so we just went with his version

can't take much credit, except for figuring out how to get the soul_pos sprites to overlay on the main sprites

[silent pawn]

it like added mult or something when you play either bonus or wild cards

it could be jens almanac or something??

i normally play with like sdms stuff and jens whole collection

[brisk rose]

there's these 2

not the same, but seem to have some of the same utility

[silent pawn]

seems to be a similar idea

[brisk rose]

this too

[silent pawn]

@teal estuary this reminds me of your copper cards idea

brb

[wintry solar]

what's the idea of the joker?

[teal estuary]

oh yeah, its similar

[silent pawn]

could use it for reference

[teal estuary]

still wonder why enhancements cant have retriggers 😭

true

i might change copper card enhancement to give mult or smth, its a little less unique but it works

[silent pawn]

you could probably implement it yourself but it would be a hassle

[silent pawn]

yea

[teal estuary]

i would have to use lovely, and nuh

[brisk rose]

what was it gonna be?

[teal estuary]

#1292795163000705024 message

[silent pawn]

retriggers based on a specific enhancement

yea that

[teal estuary]

if you plat copper cards next to eachother, they’d all retrigger

[silent pawn]

cool idea but definitely needs lovely xd

[brisk rose]

well to code around retriggers apperently needing lovely, just add the effects of the adjecent cards

would accomplish the same thing

pretty sure checking for adjecency is part of smodded

[silent pawn]

might be a bit clunky i think he just wants to use xmult lol

[brisk rose]

well multiply then, lol, still should be simple lua math

from the little I understand

[wintry solar]

I don't think that needs lovely

[silent pawn]

yea i guess you could probably artificially multiply the mult

[wintry solar]

it's a fiarly straightforward check actually

[silent pawn]

i think xmult might be possible with steamodded but according to him he cant use retriggers based on enhancements

[wintry solar]

you can

it's just not very intuitive

[silent pawn]

yea didnt think it would be aha

[wintry solar]

it doesn't need lovely though

[silent pawn]

i think he was saying he would need lovely if he wanted to manually implement an easier way to do it

[wintry solar]

it's not difficult though

[silent pawn]

im guessing its more long winded than difficult

[wintry solar]

I'm pretty sure you just have to set effect.seals.repetitions = X

and it should work

[vagrant moth]

  key = 'flowerTrick',
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Flower Trick',
    text = {
      "Gains Mult whenever you",
      "gain {C:money}${} from {C:attention}Interest",
      "{C:inactive}(Currently {C:mult}+#1#{C:inactive} Mult)"
    }
  },
  config = { extra = { mult = 0} },
  rarity = 2,
  atlas = 'MASS',
  pos = { x = 3, y = 0 },
  cost = 6,
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult} }
  end,
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    -- end of round: gain mult based off of interest
    if context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint then
        card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + G.GAME.interest_amount
        return {
            message = 'Upgraded!',
            colour = G.C.RED,
            card = card
        }
    end
    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
  end
}```

What is happening and how do I make this card work as intended?

[wintry solar]

what's at that line of state events?

[vagrant moth]

                            --Check for hand doubling
                            --From Red seal
                            local eval = eval_card(G.hand.cards[i], {end_of_round = true,cardarea = G.hand, repetition = true, repetition_only = true})
                            if next(eval) and (next(effects[1]) or #effects > 1)  then 
                                for h = 1, eval.seals.repetitions do
                                    reps[#reps+1] = eval
                                end
                            end

                            --from Jokers
                            for j=1, #G.jokers.cards do
                                --calculate the joker effects
                                local eval = eval_card(G.jokers.cards[j], {cardarea = G.hand, other_card = G.hand.cards[i], repetition = true, end_of_round = true, card_effects = effects})
                                if next(eval) then 
                                    for h  = 1, eval.jokers.repetitions do
                                        reps[#reps+1] = eval
                                    end
                                end
                            end
                        end```

it's this part

[frosty dock]

end_of_round has multiple contexts that use it

need check not context.repetition and not context.individual i think

[vagrant moth]

I swapped out a SMODS.eval_this for the return table because the Joker procced too much-

That must be it, thank you!

[frosty dock]

that should also fix it procing too much from the individual calls

[wintry solar]

if context.repetition_only and context.cardarea == G.play then
            effect.seals = {
                repetitions = 6,
                card = card,
                message = localize('k_again_ex')
            }
        end

something like this would work, it has no compatability with retriggering from seals right now, but I'll get that patched into smods at somepoint

[vagrant moth]

When I finished a round with 10$, I only got +1 Mult. Any way to fix this?

[cursive ocean]

Anyone know how I can make this not give Canio double the bonus when applied to a face card and Sock&Buskin is present 😐

SMODS.Seal({
    name = "black_seal",
    key = "black_seal",
    badge_colour = HEX("000000"),

            "after it is scored"
        }

    pos = {x=0, y=0},
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if not context.repetition and not context.repetition_only and context.cardarea == G.play then
            local destroyed_cards = {}
            table.insert(destroyed_cards, card)
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({

                        return true
                    end
                }))
            delay(0.3)
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do 
                G.jokers.cards[i]:calculate_joker({remove_playing_cards = true, removed = destroyed_cards})
            end

        end
    end,
})

[brisk rose]

I presume you need to find where earned interest is and multiply it by the added mult, if that's what you're going for

[vagrant moth]

Here, I am directly grabbing the interest amount variable, the same one used by To The Moon

[brisk rose]

I think that's the interest per 5 dollars

not the earned interest

pikachu funnily enough is the one joker I see that uses earned interest at all

though you could calculate it yourself, if you can get the money before cashout

[vagrant moth]

Oops. Will take a look at Pikachu though,

[hardy viper]

isn't this just "always earn max interest"

[brisk rose]

yes i think

not a bad joker still

[teal estuary]

just that? that’d make the enhancements retrigger?

[wintry solar]

yeah, for now

[vagrant moth]

Nabbed the code bit and now Flower Trick works as intended, thanks!

[wintry solar]

pffft, why use the built in option cycle when you can build your own

[frosty dock]

this one looks better ngl

should replace all vanilla option cycles with it

[languid mirage]

looks better in this context

I like how vanilla cycle options fit in vanilla UIs

[opal spade]

having this cycle in smods would be cool..

[silent pawn]

looks nice

[primal robin]

Imagine make a mod which has a collection of well-designed components

[silent pawn]

i just noticed the portrait for it is daddy pig thats so hard

[silent pawn]

whats the syntax for using talismans xchips on a joker in my mod

[topaz sun]

What is a center? What's "self"? What's the difference between center, self and card? These questions keep me up at night

[silent pawn]

is there a way to disable certain jokers if you dont have a specific dependant mod installed

[topaz sun]

Yeah. You can put the joker on a separate file from your main mod file and load the file under an if statement.

Use (SMODS.Mods['modkey'] or {}).can_load as a condition for the if statement

modkey is the mod ID

[tepid crow]

there's also a dependencies argument

[wintry solar]

A center is the terminology thunk used for an object, I imagine it’s because it’s the ‘center’ or the card rather than the front or back. In most cases in vanilla code, self refers to the individual card object, however in mods, it often refers to the original center definition, and card is used to refer to the card instead

[tepid crow]

though that's only useful if the only thing you're doing is creating a SMODS object

[topaz sun]

I see

[wintry solar]

I find it easier to understand if there’s some context provided, what is it you’re doing that’s getting you confused?

[topaz sun]

I'm still trying to hide a joker in the collection. I found G.P_CENTER_POOLS in the game files and discovered I could just say G.P_CENTER_POOLS[index] = nil to make the (index)th joker not appear in the collection. But then I thought this could have other unwanted consequences and wanted to better understand what's this center that i'm dealing with here

Also this only works with vanilla jokers, so from index = 1 to 150

[wintry solar]

You can overwrite the inject function on the SMODS.Joker object to not insert it in the center pools, though I imagine this will also have unintended consequences during a game

[topaz sun]

Where can I find the inject funtion?

[wintry solar]

It’s in core/game_object.lua, from wherever it extends from

Probably SMODS.Center

[topaz sun]

Alright! I'll take a looksie

Thanks!

[wintry solar]

I don’t recommend this though, I’m pretty sure your joker would never show up in game either if you do this

Unless you force spawn it

[topaz sun]

That's actually precisely what I'm doing. I had disabled the spawn with in_pool = false. It's an upgraded version of a Joker in my pack, or a "DX Joker", if you will, that doesn't spawn, but is given if you choose a certain deck or deck/sleeve combo

If the joker still works after being given, it's all good

[wintry solar]

I believe it should do

I think you can actually do something like this for the inject then,

inject = function(self)
  SMODS.Joker.super.inject(self)
  G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker[#G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker] = nil
end

[topaz sun]

Will try it rn. Thanks a lot

[small breach]

im getting started with modding and trying to change the text in the "en-us.lua" file to try something simple, but the text changes never seem to appear in game and im a bit confused as how to fix that? i tried looking up a solution but i couldnt really find anything on editing the text in balatro,

[topaz sun]

Worked flawlessly!

[topaz sun]

Are you editing the en-us.lua file inside the Balatro.exe file?

[small breach]

i am, opened it with 7zip

[topaz sun]

What are you trying to change?

[small breach]

only the skip_blind thing, just replacing it with "NAH"

something like this!

[tepid crow]

#⚙・modding-general message

[topaz sun]

Works here. Just saving the file in the text editor won't do. You gotta save the file and replace the original en-us.lua file inside the zip with the modified one.

[tepid crow]

^ that or use a proper steamodded mod

[small breach]

OOH shoot i see, thanks for the help! :0

[topaz sun]

That's certainly better

Modifying the .exe file could break things

[hardy viper]

depends on the specific program you use to look inside the exe

[cursive ocean]

Any thoughts here 🥺
#💻・modding-dev message

[hardy viper]

check for the retrigger context

or, the better way is to make it happen after the hand is scored

[tepid crow]

the card should set a variable when getting destroyed (e.g. card.destroyed), you could check for that

[wintry solar]

Give it a value when it’s been destroyed once and check if it’s present or not

[silent pawn]

^?

[tepid crow]

cryptid probably has a couple of examples

[hardy viper]

oh wait canio is doubling it because the card itself triggers jokers when it's destroyed

[silent pawn]

oh you'd be very right thanks!

[hardy viper]

so you don't need to iterate through G.jokers and calculate them

[silent pawn]

not that i like looking through cryptids code,, joker config is a bit all over the place

[tepid crow]

yeah it's a lot of code 😅

[tepid crow]

oh wait, you're right... can't you return something that destroys the card anyway? 🤔

[wintry solar]

You do because this isn’t a joker

[silent pawn]

also they seperated the jokers config like cost and stuff with the context and calculate sections

[wintry solar]

It just gets called twice because of sick and buskin retriggering

[hardy viper]

if you're so sure then check card:start_dissolve yourself 🤷‍♂️

[cursive ocean]

Oh you're right. He didn't get the bonus before when I didn't 🤔 but that was before I had the dissolve in the function

[hardy viper]

already checks for retriggers tho

[cursive ocean]

Wait no. He doesn't level up without the calculate_jokers call, he was just already at 2x -__-

[wintry solar]

There’s nothing in start dissolve

That’s a patch I’ve seen people do to try and get a destroyed context

the repetition check isn't checking for retriggers, that context is for returning repetitions to be carried out

you just need to add something like card.calculated = true at the end and then and and not card.calculated in your if statement

card destruction is a bit wonky rn

[cursive ocean]

This did the trick. Thanks I suppose I've been wary of modifying the values sent to the calculate functions

[hardy viper]

using calculated there will 100% cause an incompat with something

[cursive ocean]

yea i went with

if not context.repetition and not context.repetition_only and context.cardarea == G.play and not card.dogmod_blackseal_calculated then
            local destroyed_cards = {}
            table.insert(destroyed_cards, card)
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.2,
                func = function()
                        card:start_dissolve(nil, true)
                        return true
                    end
                }))        
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do 
              G.jokers.cards[i]:calculate_joker({remove_playing_cards = true, removed = destroyed_cards})
            end
            card.dogmod_blackseal_calculated = true
        end

[hardy viper]

🔥

[cursive ocean]

Now to figure out the wonky animations 😄

Or the timing of them

Is there any information about the different triggers you can send to add_event? I'm not sure what 'after' actually means. It doesn't seem to behave different from sending 'before' in this context

[silent pawn]

line 4855?? 😭

idk which script i even broke?

[cursive ocean]

#💻・modding-dev message thats just cus the timing is low

[wintry solar]

what isn't working as intended?

[silent pawn]

i fixed it its cus i was loading a save after modifying stuff so it went nuh uh

[lusty epoch]

Xchip_mod = (value)

[silent pawn]

oh sick so it uses the same syntax as xmult

gotcha

[lusty epoch]

you have to make it use the chip colour though if you want that

it doesn't do that automatically

[tranquil gull]

how do i get values from the current config?

is it just current_mod.config

[tepid crow]

edited the message to include it

[tranquil gull]

that should be pinned imo

[tepid crow]

yeah it's basically SMODS.current_mod.config, but you need to make sure SMODS.current_mod is saved to a local variable because it will change once your mod has loaded

I might write it up as a markdown doc so it can be added to the steamodded wiki

[wintry solar]

I have one started already

[tepid crow]

Ah, perfect! Let me know if you need any help/feedback for it

[wintry solar]

it's very bare bones at the moment, I started it alongside this one for general UI docs

but then I stopped 🤣

[wintry solar]

I think the UI work is finished

[tepid sky]

Thats nice

[topaz sun]

Looks great

[plain wyvern]

oooo

[tranquil gull]

okay how do i update the label of a button
i'm changing the children[1].config.text but it's not updating visually

[wintry solar]

can you send the code?

[tranquil gull]

function G.FUNCS.bind_key(e)
    print("Current label:", e.children[1].config.text)
    e.children[1].config.text = "..."

i found a reference to G.HUD:recalculate() earlier, do i need to call that?

wait

[wintry solar]

do e.children[1]:recalculate()

[tranquil gull]

ah

thank you !!!

aaaa it's a nil

[wintry solar]

oh maybe e.UIBox:recalculate()

I've literally deleted my text update today to use dynatext instead

[tranquil gull]

got it

e.children[1].UIBox:recalculate()

i should use dynatext but too lazy to figure out how it works

[tranquil gull]

how does the game make a ui element only show when hovering?

trying to put an on-hover tooltip on a button

[rough furnace]

theres a function to generate them when hovered

[tranquil gull]

?

[rough furnace]

iirc function Card:generate_UIBox_ability_table()

[tranquil gull]

no not a card

a button

[rough furnace]

oh

Card has a hover prop that might be inherited by it's earlier parts

probably can just do the same thing as a card when hovered

[wintry solar]

there are tooltip values on most things

• tooltip - adds a simple tooltip to your element that is shown on hover
  - `tooltip = {title = "", text = {"", ""}, filler}
• detailed_tooltip - adds a detailed tooltip, like the ones from info_queue to your element that is shown on hover

[silent pawn]

can someone put me on the right lines as to what the context would be for creating blueprint-like jokers

basically just the contexts for copying abilities of other jokers

^^

[rough furnace]

You just don't check the context

I'm on mobile rn so I can't pull up the code but basically you get the other joker and you can check ig its blueprintabke and then call its calculate function

[tranquil gull]

how do i add my own localization entries (for nothing in particular, juts some UI eleements)?

[rough furnace]

Hold on I had math guy recite some code for this for me earlier

[silent pawn]

yea i thought it was going to be something like this

[rough furnace]

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/JamMod/blob/master/Jokers.lua#L13

Or you can use localization files (idk how they work)

[silent pawn]

arent modicons 34x34?

[rough furnace]

There whatever you specify them as

[silent pawn]

yea i guess

just think the default is 34x34

[rough furnace]

Actually my sprite is 34x34

I'll fix it later

[limpid wing]

There is a code example for a half joker like?

[humble gale]

is there any commands for testing modded jokers or do i have to just find them randomly in a run?

[tepid crow]

use https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664

[wintry solar]

oh

the text needs a scale

[tranquil gull]

really

it doesn't default to 1

:/

[wintry solar]

I don't think so, no

huh, it looks like it does default to 1 but I've always experienced it being required

[humble gale]

if context.before and next(context.poker_hands['Straight_Flush']) and not context.blueprint then
      card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain 
      card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_gain 

      return {
          message = "Charge!",
          card = card            
      }
end

Is a straight flush referred to as Straight_Flush? It crashed on the next function

[lusty epoch]

it's "Straight Flush" (no _ ) i think

[humble gale]

That Worked, Thanks

[stiff locust]

hey chat

[tranquil gull]

so will doing like

local func = Card.function_name
function Card:function_name()
  -- my code
  func(self)
end

break lovely patches

[stiff locust]

if I wanna iterate through cards in a pack how do I do that
I tried for k,v in ipairs(G.pack_cards) do and for k,v in ipairs(pack_cards) do and both gave the error table expected, got nil so i'm a little perplexed and would like a second opinion

[tranquil gull]

check if G.pack_cards exists first

it isn't guaranteed to

[stiff locust]

how could it not exist yet if i'm checking it during the create card function in the code for a booster pack

when does it exist if not during that part specifically

that's where it puts a card into G.pack_cards

[tranquil gull]

idk then

[stiff locust]

i'll do it the long way i guess

[brisk rose]

What are you trying to do exactly?

Maybe you can find something similar on else's site to reference

[stiff locust]

nah i'm doing it the long way

and none of you can stop me

[gaunt thistle]

have you considered stopping

[stiff locust]

yes

wasn't worth it

what did I do that caused this

it's probably because of find_joker ig

gotta use smods find card

changing to that did not fix the issue uhhh

[orchid thunder]

how to delete blind

i dont want aht circl there with the art

😭

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1298849744864677948

can i get some feedback?

[vagrant moth]

How do I give a Deck a passive "counter" that does something and resets when it reaches a specific number?

Do the same variable things that work on Jokers work on Decks too?

[vagrant moth]

Might be wiser (and easier) to put the effect on a Joker...

[brisk rose]

Did I cook?

[vagrant moth]

The funniest thing has occured. Due to me forgetting to set the atlas for Alchemical Deck's sprite, its sprite was set... to the template for Gold cards.

Noooooooooooo... I tried to run Alchemical Deck and this happened.

Here's the code. I'm trying to spawn a specific card named Rebirth at the start of the game.

SMODS.Back{
    name = "Alchemical Deck",
    key = "alchemical",
    pos = {x = 6, y = 0},
    config = {},
    atlas = 'MASS',
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Alchemical Deck",
        text ={
            "Start with an {C:tarot}Eternal {C:attention}Rebirth",
            "{C:inactive}(Every time you sell {C:attention}2{C:inactive} Jokers,",
            "{C:inactive}gain a {C:black}Negative Tag{C:inactive})"
        },
    },
    apply = function()
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                if G.jokers then
                    local card = create_card("Joker", G.jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, "rebirth")
                    card:set_eternal(true)
                    card:add_to_deck()
                    card:start_materialize()
                    G.jokers:emplace(card)
                    return true
                end
            end
        }))
    end
}```

What's wrong here?

Also getting this error when trying to test just Rebirth.

Code here.

SMODS.Joker {
  key = 'rebirth',
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Rebirth',
    text = {
      "Every time you sell {C:attention}2{} Jokers,",
      "gain a {C:black}Negative Tag",
      "{C:inactive}(Currently {C:attention}+#1#{C:inactive}/2 Jokers sold)"
    }
  },
  config = { extra = { counter = 0} },
  rarity = 3,
  atlas = 'MASS',
  pos = { x = 5, y = 0 },
  cost = 8,
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = { card.ability.extra.counter} }
  end,
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    -- two jokers sold -> one negative tag
    if context.selling_card and context.card.ability.set == "Joker" then
        card.ability.extra.counter = card.ability.extra.counter + 1

        SMODS.eval_this(card, {message = card.ability.extra.counter .. '/2',
                colour = G.C.MONEY})
        -- create Negative tag!
        if card.ability.extra.counter == 2 then
            SMODS.eval_this(card, {message = 'Negative!',
                colour = G.C.BLACK})
            add_tag("Negative Tag")
            card.ability.extra.counter = 0
        end
    end
  end
}```

[vagrant moth]

That's Library of Letourneau's pfp

[limpid wing]

there is documentation about shaders of card editions?

[wintry solar]

Some brief docs on the edition page, yes

[vagrant moth]

Any help with these things?

[vagrant moth]

Fixed it! Changed the target key for the card to this.

It's alive!

[silent pawn]

love the cardart

[nocturne garnet]

YK that game called skyjo

[brisk rose]

looks like one of those games Mattel makes to try to recapture the magic of Uno

[maiden phoenix]

Oh I love this game

[brisk rose]

huh, guess it's actually an indie thing

[orchid thunder]

We need rank decks

Like the 6 deck I saw somewhere

But for all ranks

[brisk rose]

cryptid might have those?

[orchid thunder]

No they have suit decks

[brisk rose]

I thought they also had edition decks and stuff, so it seemed possible

suit decks are also in something else now (forgot what) which is nice

[orchid thunder]

No hey also have enhancement decks and edition decks

But not rank decks

[brisk rose]

fair

so yeah it is a good idea

though might be better to be a single configurable deck, which I think @wintry solar is cooking something for iirc

[orchid thunder]

Also this is 100% more evil now

You just lose

[silent pawn]

yea theres a six deck in crimson collection

[orchid thunder]

Yeah that's where

[silent pawn]

which is a pretty unique idea surprisingly thats the only place ive seen a rank deck

compared to suit decks i think cryptid implements

tbh im surprised cryptid doesnt have rank decks yet aha

[orchid thunder]

Yeah

[hardy viper]

new deck where you get every single possible combination of suit/rank/enhancement/edition/etc at the start of the game

only like 6000 ish cards from my approximations

[brisk rose]

if only the game wouldn't be running at about seconds per frame

if not minutes

[hardy viper]

it's not so bad when it's in deck

idk if it's modded optimizations but ive seen jen do some runs with that many cards in deck and it runs at a decent framerate

[brisk rose]

very fair

[hardy viper]

deck

[brisk rose]

but it probably won't keep running that good. in my experience, if there'a much oif anything going on in terms of card creation and deletion the game comes to a crawl at practically any deck size

[brisk rose]

hmm?

[hardy viper]

very fair deck

[brisk rose]

lmao

[cursive ocean]

Does anyone have experience extending the ability of a vanilla jimbo? Most mods have the ability be a table for their jokers, but e.g. Baron only uses a single scalar value for its xmult as far as I can tell. Would you have to patch the game in order to take_ownership and expand upon a vanilla jimmy like Baron?

[wintry solar]

You can just take_ownership and then treat it as any modded joker

[wintry solar]

Internal brain cooking right now, but it’s something I’ve got a few ideas for, yeah

[brisk rose]

yeah I wasn't trying to say it was more than a concept currently

thought for a sec that "internal brain cooking" meant you had a high-ass fever, lmfaooo

[wintry solar]

Hahaha nooooo

[brisk rose]

pffft

[wintry solar]

I’m going to finish cooking textures first though, it’s getting closer

[tranquil gull]

local func = Card.draw
function Card:draw()
  func(self)
  -- my code
end

there a bettwe way to do this? bc to me it feels like the cards are drawing twice

[wintry solar]

What are you trying to do?

[tepid sky]

Is there any way to make my custom flame shader actually work?

[hardy viper]

yes

[tepid sky]

how? ;-;

[hardy viper]

how would i know you provided 0 details

[tepid sky]

if i changed some values from the original shader, how could i load it

[brisk rose]

you have to load it as a seperate shader, I know that much

idk how to apply it in context though

probably takes a lovely patch

[crisp coral]

you can probably load it akin to replacing base game atlases

[tepid sky]

how do you mean that?

i think i can see how the vortex is done right?

compare with the normal flame shader

cuz those 2 are the only ones (as far as i know) that are shaders that AREN"T on cards

[upbeat ferry]

someone who can help me with modding balatro? i cant play mods cause this

if can in spanish... betther

better*

[tepid crow]

use steamodded 1.0.0 instead of 0.9.8

[upbeat ferry]

and how can i do it? i use de 0.9.8?

i download in github

[tepid crow]

DONT use the 0.9.8

see https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started

[upbeat ferry]

okei, i try it

[brisk rose]

Does anyone know why the playing card sprite sheet is called "8bitcards"? Makes it sound like an external asset

or that non-pixel art playing cards were considered

[topaz sun]

I think the early version of the playing cards in Balatro was lower-res

And looked a bit like this https://the8bitdeck.com/

Or looked 8 bits like this ba dum tss

[brisk rose]

Ah so they just didn't change the file name, lol

They being

[tidal edge]

how do you debuff cards

like make a joker

debuff certain cards

when gotten

apparently this is a thing in the balatro code

works for me

[rough furnace]

I updated balatro and now it crashes

👍

[tepid crow]

oop

[primal robin]

Works fine for me I guess

[rough furnace]

I reinstalled lovely and not it works

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cursive ocean]

Can anyone tell why this is crashing with

"functions/state_events.lua:998: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'x_mult' (a table value)"

is it because it's trying to use the vanilla calculate function, where "config.extra" is just a number, whereas it's a table here..?
"Hello Baron" is never printed..

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('baron', {
    config = {

[hardy viper]

chat is this real

[tepid crow]

that shortcircuits right

[brisk rose]

It's a bash command and wine wouldn't let it through. I don't think there's any way a shell that could understand it will see it

also balatro wouldbt be being ran with root permissions

[tepid crow]

also true

I meant that most programming languages don't evaluate the second operand if not needed

true or ... doesn't need to have the second part evaluated, because it will always be true
false and ... doesn't need to have the second part evaluated, because it will always be false

[brisk rose]

Oh yeah that'd just return true I think

[tepid crow]

Both and and or use short-cut evaluation, that is, they evaluate their second operand only when necessary.
Yup, Lua does as well

[tepid eagle]

short circuiting is awesome

[cursive ocean]

my brain does it all the time

[glossy stone]

i won the 50/50, i'm coming back soon :P more art for OS incoming!

[tepid eagle]

yay!!

[frosty dock]

not like this would even do anything if it was ran

you're not specifying what to remove

only how to remove

[brisk rose]

Also true

[tepid eagle]

rm rf with no argument deletes everything i believe

[frosty dock]

🤔

[wintry solar]

ugh, why do seals treat their atlas so differently to everything else

[tepid crow]

you mean the sprites taking up a full card space?

[wintry solar]

no the way they're referenced

they're hard coded in a different table and the seal objects themselves have no reference to the atlas or the position

[tepid crow]

oh I see

[wintry solar]

so whilst all your seal data is in G.P_SEALS or G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Seal, the images are saved in G.shared_seals

[tepid crow]

fun

[wintry solar]

but I think I've got it all working now :d

[wintry solar]

localization and badges? 👀

[mellow sable]

:O

[oblique pond]

judgement but seal

[limpid flint]

That's busted I think

[brisk rose]

Tbh it's no worse than Expansion Pack really

[limpid flint]

Wdym

[brisk rose]

The joker that makes a random modded joker at the start of a blind. Sure, it'll fill your joker slots with garbage sooner for some free econ, but that's not too busted

Maybe just only make it be made from a spectral and not nat spawn in standard packs, if it needs any adjustment at all

I presume the "must have room" is implied

[tepid crow]

should still add it, even if implied

[tepid crow]

just wondering, this mod isn't actually released yet right?

(the texture pack priority system)

[hardy viper]

it is if you have a sledgehammer and a screwdriver

[tepid crow]

I'll take that as a no then

[hardy viper]

i have no clue tbh

[oblique pond]

forgot to say that in the desc mb (yes it does need room)

[tepid eagle]

(Must not have room)

[tepid sky]

omg i fucking love the idea of using jokers to enable/disable stuff-

[rough furnace]

anyone know why the shader thing needs it's name as a varible/

[tepid sky]

🤷‍♂️

i am figuring shaders out too my guy

[rough furnace]

ok I found a hack

[tepid sky]

thats hella handy!

but now try something outside of the card shaders 😏

[wintry solar]

Not yet, it’s getting close though, I need to go through the other sprites I haven’t tested yet to ensure they’re working, then write up some docs on how to use it properly

[wintry solar]

Something in glsl requires variables that are declared to be used at least once, and the game uses the shader name to pass in a time variable (and something else I don’t remember off the top of my head)

[rough furnace]

Yeah

Luckily I found smods has a paych that lets it use a different name than the shader name

So I kinda just guess what the name of the variabke is and put it there

[wintry solar]

Yeah, ejwu sorted that one out

[rough furnace]

I think this shojkd cover most cases https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/blob/dev/watcher.lua#L82

[wintry solar]

Still leads to the pointless if name.g > 0 || name.g < 0 part in the shader code

[rough furnace]

Why does it even need that?

Like could we just go and be like if smods shader don't pass that variable

Or does it cause some problems then?

[wintry solar]

It’s useful for effects that adapt over time

[rough furnace]

You think there would be a consistanntly named variable for time

[wintry solar]

Oh wait there is

Maybe it wasn’t time

I don’t remember what it passes 😂

Maybe it was card rotation?

[rough furnace]

Idk but why does it have to be named after the shader?

[wintry solar]

[wintry solar]

self.ARGS.send_to_shader[1] = math.min(self.VT.r*3, 1) + G.TIMERS.REAL/(28) + (self.juice and self.juice.r*20 or 0) + self.tilt_var.amt
        self.ARGS.send_to_shader[2] = G.TIMERS.REAL

I found them!

Confusingly, the time value isn’t actually a time value G.SHADERS[_shader or 'dissolve']:send("time",123.33412*(_draw_major.ID/1.14212 or 12.5123152)%3000)

[tepid sky]

@languid mirage iirc you made something where the (combo) flame were on the played cards. (i think u send a gif/video of it) could i please know how u did that?

[languid mirage]

shader is drawn on a dummy UI object that is attached to the card so first you need to create that, then you need to draw shader over it which you can hook within card:draw

both those things you can find if you look at where shader is drawn

[tepid sky]

ooh so you mean make a invissable box and draw the shader on that

[languid mirage]

yes

[tepid sky]

wow thanks!

i tought something about this cuz i saw the code for the boxes in the hand menu (the chip x mult boxes)

and saw it was like a function

[languid mirage]

yeah iirc it adds draw callback which draws the shader on UI element

[tepid sky]

thanks!

i'll look into how i make the boxes :)

[languid mirage]

Actually the mult/chip boxes are draws separately, as they are on top of the flames

[tepid sky]

hmm

[upbeat ferry]

someone can help me?

i try to install the modder and i cant work it, i play balatro app and appears in streammod 0.9.8 insead of the 1.0.0

[tepid sky]

u sure u got 1.0.0 instead of 0.9.8?

[upbeat ferry]

i do all but in the game appear this

[limpid wing]

The release is deprecated

[limpid wing]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/archive/refs/heads/main.zip this is the newest version

when you download steamodded you press the green button and click on download zip

[upbeat ferry]

i got it

and then?

[limpid wing]

delete the old steamodded folder and replace with the newest

[upbeat ferry]

the old folder where is?

[limpid wing]

Username/appdata/roaming/balatro/mods

Just do windows key + r and write %appdata%/balatro

[upbeat ferry]

okei, im there, in there, it's only the mods carpet

i delete de carpet "mods", i create a new one and i put in the carpet of steamodded

[fluid monolith]

Hello, I wanted to start working on trying to update a mod for personal use that seems to have been abandoned, but I’m struggling to find anything on the GUI documentation for SMODS. Does anyone have any tips on how to resolve issues with the function SMODS.RegisterUIElement on the current alpha? Or any other information on GUI stuff with this build? Thanks in advance

[wintry solar]

What exactly are you trying to do??

[fluid monolith]

Trying to resolve issues with the Deck Creator mod which appears to be built on SMODS 0.9.8 API which has a lot of deprecated features. I was trying to find out if it is possible to replace most of the existing functions with more modern iterations, or if it will need a full rewrite.

[wintry solar]

From a brief look at the code, it’ll probably need a complete rewrite to make sure it’s compatible with other mods

[fluid monolith]

Hmm, unfortunate. Do you have any advice on where to start with a rewrite like that? Even if the original mod never gets updated I would like to try helping keep it available for modern Balatro

[wintry solar]

I’d try and get the base mod functional in terms of custom decks before worrying about the ui

[silent pawn]

what does the function juice_up() do

[hardy viper]

juices up

make card

juice

jump

vibrate

boingong

shake

[silent pawn]

oh right

thanks for the very detailed description

oh yes i see

[silent pawn]

is there a context for when you win a blind

nevermind i made it work anyways

[teal estuary]

it does the shake thing for when a joker activates

also, is there a way to make a joker unsellable naturally? not like, an eternal tag or smth

[silent pawn]

i already got my description of make card juice jump vibrate boingong shake

[teal estuary]

coolios

you can also do card = card, and most of the time that works

[silent pawn]

nah i did G.hand_text_area.blind_chips:juice_up() G.hand_text_area.game_chips:juice_up()

wasnt to a card

[teal estuary]

😭 its done on jokers

[silent pawn]

it works on other things too

[teal estuary]

[silent pawn]

it makes stuff jiggle

[tepid sky]

funny

[wintry solar]

you can make almost anything juice up

[vague island]

so im trying to make some code for a joker that removes editions from another specific joker

and it copies the joker

but i cant figure out how to strip every edition from a joker

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.before and not (context.blueprint_card or self).getting_sliced then
for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
if
G.jokers.cards[i].ability.name == "Gerald" and G.jokers.cards[i].editon and G.jokers.cards[i].edition.negative == false
then
local chjoker = G.jokers.cards[i]
local card = copy_card(chjoker, nil, nil, nil, chjoker.edition and [here is where i need any edition])
end
end
end
end
}

[frosty dock]

you might be overthinking this? jokers can only have one edition

[vague island]

i think were saying diff thing

i meant remove any edition

might have not been clear

[silent pawn]

find modded jokers that manipulate editions, it could help you out

https://lshtech.github.io

heres a big index of a bunch of modded jokers

is there a function to update the tooltip of a joker?

oh wait is it literally just card = card

it wont update ):

[wintry solar]

you can just do card:set_edition() and it'll strip it

[silent pawn]

can someone help it doesnt update the tooltip when the variable is modified

    if context.blind_skipped and not context.blueprint then
      card.ability.extra.h_size = card.ability.extra.h_size + card.ability.extra.increase
      return {
        message = localize("k_upgrade_ex"),
      }
    end
  end```

[narrow pollen]

can someone more well-versed in lovely help me out with how to get it to parse this line that i want to change in state_events that has both types of quote marks in it?
play_area_status_text("Not Allowed!")--localize('k_not_allowed_ex'), true)

[wintry solar]

I believe using ''' will work

[vague island]

didnt work

[wintry solar]

can you send your code?

[vague island]

well i edited it a bit but here
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.ending_shop then
for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
if G.jokers.cards[i].ability.name == "Gerald" and G.jokers.cards[i].editon and G.jokers.cards[i].edition.negative == false then
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()

[wintry solar]

and what happens?

[vague island]

nothing

it just exists

even with 3 holo gerald

[wintry solar]

try using SMODS.find_card instead of the ability name check

[humble gale]

Im trying to make it so this calls when a gold card is scored. How would i check if it is gold?

if context.other_card:get_id()==10 then --Check if it is gold instead
   card.ability.extra.money = card.ability.extra.money + card.ability.extra.money_gain 
            
   return {
       message = "Harvest!",
       card = card            
   }
end

[silent pawn]

is G.GAME.skips valid syntax

not syntax like

yk what i mean

[humble gale]

?

[silent pawn]

dont worry got it to work

just wondered if G.GAME.skips was valid for like getting the amount of blind skips

it was

[vague island]

like as in if SMODS.find_card == "Gerald" and G.jokers.cards[i].editon and G.jokers.cards[i].edition.negative == false then? idk how to do that lol

[wintry solar]

no

look up how SMODS.find_card works

[vague island]

ok

look up as in on google?

cause there arent any matches

[brisk rose]

Look it up in the smods code base

[vague island]

ohhh

ok

[inland helm]

is there a way to allow stone cards to show suits?

target = "card.lua"
pattern = '''self.ability.effect ~= 'Stone Card''''
position = "at"
payload = '''self.ability.effect ~= 'UNUSED Card''''

I cant seem to get this lovely script to even find self.ability.effect ~= 'Stone Card'

switching to patches.regex worked

the whole thing works now yippie

[spare elk]

this'll make a joker that does nothing except be bought and sold, right? i just wanna be sure im doing this right before i commit the change

[hardy viper]

it should probably have a calculate function

idk if thats required for jokers

lemme check

i suggest testing it out by spawning it in via debug

[spare elk]

ok well first off i forgot to make an atlas for it's sprite, im dumb

[vague island]

i genuinely cant find anything ;-;

does anyone here know how SMODS.find_card works? i cant find anything

[maiden phoenix]

It's not obligatory

[lament fjord]

Is there some way to enable/disable voucher availability in pool?

[maiden phoenix]

use in_pool

[spare elk]

it works, my boyo's in the game even if he does nothing yet

[silent pawn]

It is not required just almost always used

[brisk rose]

Jokers typically /are/ a bit more useful if they do something

:p

[silent pawn]

yea but you can also use other functions to give them effects :3

a lot of mine use add_to_deck/remove_from_deck

by a lot i mean like 3

😭

[brisk rose]

Lol very fair

[silent pawn]

engine/sprite.lua:11: attempt to index field 'atlas' (a nil value)``` bro what is causing this error

clearly something with my atlases but idk what

this is for loading my joker configs and the first joker art atlas

SMODS.Atlas ({
    key = '1up',
    path = "1up.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}):register()```

load_file is on line 12 so I think that's the issue but I don't know what's wrong with it

[brisk rose]

The order?

Doesn't jokers.lua use that atlas?

AFAIK you need to declare the atlases before they're used, and load_file basically just pastes or at that position

Might be mistaken

[stiff locust]

what's the joker key for jimbo

is it just joker

[brisk rose]

j_joker yeah

Iirc

[tepid crow]

what does objects/jokers.lua look like?

(also, I don't think you need :register() anymore in 1.0.0+?)

[vagrant moth]

SMODS.Back{
    name = "Unstable Deck",
    key = "MASS_unstable",
    pos = {x = 6, y = 1},
    config = {discards = -1},
    atlas = 'MASS',
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Unstable Deck",
        text ={
            "All hands start at {C:attention}LVL 2",
            "{C:mult}-#1#{} Discard"
        },
    },
    apply = function()
        G.GAME.joker_buffer = G.GAME.joker_buffer + 1
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event(
            {trigger = 'after', delay = 0.8, func = function()
                -- switch G.jokers for appropriate start of game effect?
                for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
                        level_up_hand(self, k, true, 2)
                end
            end
        }))
    end
    loc_vars = function(self)
        return { vars = { self.config.discards }}
    end
}```
Trying to give a deck two functions and it's not working at all.

I added a comma (end,) and it booted!

It works.

[brisk rose]

ayyy nice

[vagrant moth]

Less discards (2 at base, 1 on higher stakes) but it's easier to pivot and just play whatever hands come.

[narrow pollen]

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

really getting sick of how difficult it is to figure out how to override methods now

or if it's even possible to override certain methods, given how steamodded changes them

[silent pawn]

every SMODS.Joker{}

[silent pawn]

oh yea oops im stupid

it was 6am i blame that

nevermind that just didnt fix it

i moved the load_file to after the atlases and it still breaks

same error

[languid mirage]

you mean patch?

[languid mirage]

it is possible to patch steamodded files, but you have to use latest lovely version for that (and people who use your mod would need it too)

[narrow pollen]

yeah, what i want to do is override the straight detection method

[languid mirage]

is it something not worthy of a PR?

[narrow pollen]

PR?

[languid mirage]

pull request

[narrow pollen]

trying to figure out how to add the capability to loop in straights

[languid mirage]

anyways if you want to patch steamodded function you have to use this format
#1209564621644505158 message

filename would be core/overrides.lua iirc

[narrow pollen]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh okay

cool, will look more into that tomorrow

[silent pawn]

    key = '1up',
    path = "1up.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95

is there anything wrong with the way i register my atlases? in game for some reason all the jokers have no image and the first one to be written as SMODS.Joker{} has the wrong image 😭

[opal spade]

why are you doing :register

[brisk rose]

I think maybe I can be blamed for that

[opal spade]

just doing SMODS.Atlas {} should make it work

[brisk rose]

I suggested it when they were having a different problem that ended up having an unrelated actual solution

if they're the same user I'm thinking about

[brisk rose]

what do your joker definitions look like?

[opal spade]

SMODS.Atlas {
<your values>
}

then putting the atlas in the joker definition to be the same as the key of the atlas definition should make it use your atlas
