you can use DebugPlus to spawn a joker

is there a way to give or take temporary hands/discards
or do I just need to reset them at the end of the round
maiden phoenix
There's plenty of vanilla jokers that does that
stiff locust
yeah it occured to me after writing that
that burglar is like exactly what I need
i hope this works first try
(it didn't work)
is there a context for after a hand is played
i'm having trouble triggering an effect when there's 1 hand left
do I need to use event manager
wintry solar
context.after isn’t enough?
stiff locust
`context.after` isn’t enough?
i've tried a bunch of contexts including that it just
doesn't trigger
and it makes no sense to me cause this should be pretty simple to do
i made sure it's not in any other contexts that would conflict (it isn't)
wintry solar
Can you show the full code?
silent pawn
is there a way to give or take temporary hands/discards
ive also been trying to do this to no avail
stiff locust
Can you show the full code?
theres some offscreen text for the description
this is it
silent pawn
i do remember seeing a joker before that does it but i couldnt remember for the life of me where id seen it - asked here if anyone knew which mod it had come from but didnt get a correct answer
it was a joker that like carried over discards between blinds and they stack up beyond max but i cant find it for the life of me
wintry solar
theres some offscreen text for the description
this is it
There’s no context here
stiff locust
There’s no context here
there have been multiple contexts there
none of them have worked
wintry solar
What’s it supposed to do?
stiff locust
What’s it supposed to do?
on final hand of round if its chips are above 100 (separate effect that is functional builds chips)
give 5 hands, give xmult equal to remaining discards until end of round, lose all discards
i'll probably have to move the xmult return to context.joker_main regardless but none of the other parts are working
wintry solar
so it's kind of like an extra chance at the blind?
stiff locust
yeah
oh and it resets the chips at the end of the round after it triggers
that's the easy part
wintry solar
if context.after and G.GAME.current_round.hands_left == 1 and card.ability.extra.chips >= 100 then
print('test')
card.ability.extra.Xmult = 1 + G.GAME.current_round.discards_left
ease_discard(-G.GAME.current_round.discards_left)
ease_hands_played(card.ability.extra.hands)
end
does this work
stiff locust
```lua

the test prints
nothing else works
wintry solar
the hands and discards dont change?
stiff locust
the hands and discards dont change?
indeed they do not
wintry solar
huh
stiff locust
different problem came up after i triggered the effect
I was hoping I could use a table of strings to get new lines in the joker text
cause the way this secret effect stuff works is that there's a loc var at the end of the joker description which changes from a little bit of splash text hinting at the effect to the actual effect after you trigger it once
but the effect is too long to be put on one line
wintry solar
you can change the key of what description it's using in loc_vars
wintry solar
the entire description
stiff locust
oh how
wintry solar
iirc you return {key = 'key'} in your loc vars return
wintry solar
in the loc tables
stiff locust
what
wintry solar
how are you doing your localization?
stiff locust
am I supposed to be doing localisation
wintry solar
thats how you get any descriptions
stiff locust
i just put it in the loc_txt
brisk rose
loc stands for localization :P
stiff locust
disclaimer i'm fuckin stupid
wintry solar
so you either need to use SMODS.process_loc_txt() or set up a localization file properly then iirc
brisk rose
loc_txt is a localization table I'm p sure
crisp coral

what does that do exactly? for fure reference when I do more coding on my mod
wintry solar

crisp coral
How can I get the width of an UI node before it's created?
Or, rather, how can I set a node's width to the parent node's width?
stiff locust
so you either need to use `SMODS.process_loc_txt()` or set up a localization fil...
smods.process_loc_txt does what exactly
brisk rose
So to add extra stuff to the loc tables it'd be SMODS.process_loc_txt({thing})?
wintry solar
yeah there'll be some uses of it in the smods code you can reference
stiff locust
how does it know which joker to do it in
wintry solar
it doesn't need to, you just need to tell your joker to use that key later on
I can send some examples when I'm back home later
stiff locust
an example would help yeah

Iirc instance_type controls the layering
crisp coral
I've tried having "UIBOX" and "ALERT" for the instance_type and neither worked
wintry solar
Does ’TOOLTIP’?
And is it on the root element?
I have no idea how instance type works
crisp coral
TOOLTIP is not an instance type, no
And, it should be on root, I think
local blind_hoverref = Blind.hover
function Blind.hover(self)
...
self.config.h_popup = G.UIDEF.blind_h_popup(self)
self.config.h_popup_config = self:align_h_popup()
self.children.h_popup = UIBox{
definition = self.config.h_popup,
config = {
instance_type = "ALERT",
major = self,
parent = nil,
xy_bond = 'Strong',
r_bond = 'Weak',
wh_bond = 'Weak',
offset = {
x = 0.15,
y = 0.4,
},
type = "cr",
},
}
self.children.h_popup.attention_text = true
self.children.h_popup.states.collide.can = false
self.children.h_popup.states.drag.can = false
...
end
I wonder if it needs to be on the root element inside the definition
crisp coral
G.UIDEF.blind_h_popup does return a root node but I'm unsure
crisp coral
I'm thinking of making it a global instead, similar to G.achievement_notification or G.debug_tools
Then I can simply Lovely patch it into the Game:draw() function

teal estuary
ty kindly

np :3
rough furnace
uhhh it's not working. the table seems to be blank or something
how are you accessing it?
timid parrot
I was looping through ipairs(SMODS.Suits)
rough furnace
it doesn't use integer keys
timid parrot
so then what do I do?
rough furnace
use pairs
timid parrot
so for k,v in pairs(SMODS.Suits) but which one is the suit string k or v?
rough furnace
k is the key and v is the value
timid parrot
k is the key and v is the value
I know but how is the SMODS.Suits table structured?
wintry solar
I imagine it’s the key you need

silent pawn
anyone know where i can find the editions in the vanilla source?
silent pawn
i wanted to make an edition that didnt apply to jokers but i have no idea how
i was gonna see how negative stops itself from applying to playing cards
wintry solar
you'll have to hook set_edition until I get round to making editions respect in_pool
silent pawn
oh right so would i just set the edition to no edition if it has the custom edition?
thats a lot of the word edition in one sentence
how would you set a card to have no edition is it like you set the edition to nil?
also i have no idea how to like check the edition of each card in the buffoon packs
like i know i can use if context.open_booster and context.card.ability.name == 'Buffoon Pack' and then each name of each buffoon pack (jumbo etc)
but i dont know how to check the edition of cards
im guessing its going to be some sort of for loop to check each card but its the actual function for checking the edition that i dont know
wintry solar
local set_edition = Card.set_edition
function Card:set_edition(edition, immediate, silent)
if edition == 'edition_key' and self.set == 'Joker' then return end
set_edition(self, edition, immediate, silent)
end
this will stop your edition being applied to jokers
silent pawn
would this be under on_apply orr
sorry for so many questions i have literally zero experience with editions 😭
i cant even reference any editions because lshtechs card library is like completely bugged so i cant easily find editions to refer to
wintry solar
this is just top level of your code
silent pawn
oh alright
weight affects how often it applies right? is it higher or lower for more common
wintry solar
higher for more common
silent pawn
is there a max
im guessing not
im guessing editions use weight as a ratio to compare to other editions probabilities
silent pawn
the edition is just never appearing
wintry solar
can you show the edition code?
silent pawn
wait would self.set == 'Playing' be correct or what would the equivalent be for playing cards
wintry solar
you can do self.set ~= 'Joker'
silent pawn
oh yeah

It should have your mod prefix in front
A bit confused on this. Do I need to change the key in the joker?

No. Steamodded adds a prefix to your joker to prevent name collisions.
You just need to add the lrefix to the create_card call

Is context.after not supposed to be after scoring or I do have some deeper misunderstanding? This code is destroying cards before they're scored:
if not context.blueprint and (context.scoring_name=="Straight" or context.scoring_name=="Straight Flush") then
card.ability.extra.trash_list = context.scoring_hand
card.ability.extra.straight = true
end
if context.after and card.ability.extra.straight and not context.blueprint then
for _, card_to_trash in ipairs(card.ability.extra.trash_list) do
if not card_to_trash.removed then
card_to_trash:start_dissolve(nil, nil, 3)
card_to_trash.destroyed = true
end
end
card.ability.extra.trash_list = {}
card.ability.extra.straight = false
end
Maybe try using context.end_of_round instead, careful tho it will trigger context.individual and repetitions so you'll prob have to exclude those

is there a way to put a wild card (or enhancements in general) into the hand preview thing? i've been considering making a mod that just adds the spectrum hand + related stuff (planets, basic jokers) so suit mods can just require that instead of reimplementing it every time, and since this mod would ideally not add a new suit of its own the obvious preview hand is heart-diamond-club-spade-wild

topaz sun
Does anyone know, in the game files, where is the part that ends the game with game over if the player doesn't reach the blind goal?
rough furnace
I think the function is lose_game
end_round is responsible for calling it when you run out of hands
hardy viper
i guess it can also be called naturally when you run out of handsize
rough furnace
Yeah or hit the lose game debug button
hardy viper
makes me wonder whether you still beat the blind if you run out of handsize with mr bones and meet the 25% score req
rough furnace
I know end_round will behage as if you are done playing your hand

end_round bugs the game out somewhat

vague island

topaz sun
It crashes saying attempt to call global lose_game (a nil value)

Oh it doesn't have a function like win_game, the debug button just does if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER; G.STATE_COMPLETE = false end
hardy viper
local ranks = {}
for i, v in pairs(G.deck.cards) do
ranks[v.ability.rank] = (ranks[v.ability.rank] or 0) + 1
end
something along these lines @vague island
it's probably not Card.ability.rank i just bullshitted that you'll have to find what actually stores rank yourself
huh
i can't exactly read the code if you delete it
rough furnace
Should probably use get_id
vague island
wait holup
rough furnace
I think that's what it'd called
hardy viper
Should probably use get_id
seems like what they're using
vague island
if context.joker_main then
local deck = #G.deck.cards
local decktable = G.deck.cards
for _, v in pairs(G.deck.cards) do

or context.other_card:get_id() == 3

then
chip_mod = 35

It's happening and I can't figure out why. I've noticed the "Game Over!" screen only shows up after cards are drawn. For some reason, when the blind requirement is met at the end of round, the cards aren't drawn, therefore the code for end_round() only works when cards are drawn in the following blind.
Do you know why is this? I'm at my wit's end
rough furnace
cause your waiting for it to draw the cards before ending the round

hi!
im,, trying to make a custom poker hand that overrides two pair if it's a dead man's hand (two black aces and eights) and while i have most of the pokerhandpart things down, it doesnt seem to be loading properly (and crashes if i open up the hand list)
its, probably a really simple fix, but i cant tell what it is i need to look at djshsdjh
key = 'deadhand',
func = function(hand)
local current_cards = {}
local activated = false
for i = 1, #hand do
table.insert(current_cards, hand[i])
end
if G.jokers ~= nil then
for _, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
if v.config.center.key == 'j_tma_Gunslinger' then
activated = true
print("hasGunslinger")
else
activated = false
print("noSlinger")
end
end
end
local ace_black = 0
local eight_black = 0
for i = 1, #hand do
if hand[i]:get_id() == 14 and (hand[i]:is_suit("Spades", nil, true) or hand[i]:is_suit("Clubs", nil, true)) then
ace_black = ace_black+1
print("ace", ace_black)
elseif hand[i]:get_id() == 8 and (hand[i]:is_suit("Spades", nil, true) or hand[i]:is_suit("Clubs", nil, true)) then
eight_black = eight_black+1
print("eight", eight_black)
end
end
if eight_black >=1 and ace_black >=2 and activated then
print("has hand!!!")
return {hand}
end
return {}

It would be my own enhancement, but one that only changes the texture of the face card. Like how a lucky card looks like old paper.

lovely is sometimes used where it isn't necessary which makes things harder to look at

theres a reason SMODS moved to it

it's necessary unless you fancy overriding functions

like would you rather read this https://github.com/jamesthejellyfish/JellyMod/blob/main/JellyJokers.lua#L1536-L1553 or https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/JamMod/blob/master/lovely.toml#L70-L78 (I did implement it a bit differently)
hardy viper
idk what you expect me to say I don't want to go through an entirely separate file to find something
i would much rather look at the first one even if that lovely patch takes up less space

oh wait
i didn't structure that right

rough furnace
yeah
hardy viper
i didn't for awhile either
rough furnace
Yeah I didn't but I tried using contiune and it didn't work so I googled it and they were just like use goto

i actually figured it out by typing in continue and luals corrected it to goto continue with a ::continue:: at the end of the for loop

My brain is also melting looking for any information on how to change a playing cards atlas when it is enhanced...or change the texture coordinates
rough furnace
likw what is your goal?
flat pier
I have a joker that makes (poorly) cloned coppies of played cards. I want to give them a different face texture, like a lucky card/echo from cryptid, that makes them look distinguishable from a normal playing card. The joker is done, it makes cards and adds them to the deck, I have seen how to add enhancements to created cards. I just have no reference to changing a playing cards atlas, or texture coordinates when the enhancement is applied. I would like to avoid a shader, if possible.
rough furnace
you should just be able to provide the atlas and pos to the constructor, like you would in a joker
flat pier
Hmm, okay. lets give that a shot then.
tepid sky
can someone tell me what i did wrong, i got a loda of help from larswijn (thanks!) but it is still not working like i would want it to?

How would I go about setting a cards base chips to half the original value
This is for an enhancement, I know I have to mess with the nominal. somehow.
humble gale
Im trying to reduce the ante by 1 but this code is doing, well 14 times. anyone know why? Im thinking its the ease ante
if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss and not context.blueprint then
local ante_mod = 0
if to_big(G.GAME.chips) >= to_big(G.GAME.blind.chips) * card.ability.extra.scoreRec then
ante_mod = ante_mod - card.ability.extra.ante_reduction
ease_ante(ante_mod)
end
end
flat pier
Would this result in the cards chip scoring being set to newbase if placed in calculate?
chips = newbase,
message = localize({type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips', vars = {chips}}),
})```Likely missing some context checks
Try printing the contexts it’s calling on
I think you might also need to add not context.repetition and/or not context.individual as checks
flat pier
I have a joker that does something at the end of round, the contexts string is lua if context.end_of_round and not (context.individual or context.repetition) then
also a check for blueprint in there
flat pier
Is there a function that I can use when an enhancement is placed on a card?

G.GAME.chips
G.GAME.blind.chips is the score requirement i guess

timid parrot
I'm interested in making a mod. How much coding knowledge do I need?
how much do you have?
torn grove
absolutely none
timid parrot
I mean it depends on what you want to do, but aside from being able to follow instructions, you'll likely need to know:
- Variables
- Conditionals (if/else)
- Boolean Logic
- Loops (for and while)
- Tables/Objects in Lua
- Functions as functions
- Functions as variables
- How to read other people's code so you can understand how the framework works
I learned Lua for the first time while doing this, but I've had a decent bit of prior programming experience. I'm not sure if there are Lua tutorials for people who have never programmed before, but if there are, you should go looking for those. Otherwise, it would probably do you good to look into Python to pick up some basic skills and then apply them to Lua.

im wanting to do task automation in balatro that programmatically rerolls in shop until a card is identified. once the card is identified, i want to purchase it and then continue rerolling
i tried it in python using opencv, using image identification. my python code successfully identified reroll in the shop, but having it locate cards i wanted was difficult due to images looking similar on tarot cards
so, i tried using tesseract ocr instead to get the text then get the x,y coord to send a mouse click event
but that also proved painful

apparently G.FUNCS.reroll_shop is a function defined in button_callbacks.lua

It's not enough. You should check can you reroll first

It's not enough. You should check can you reroll first
i have reroll set to $0

local Calculate_reroll_costRef = calculate_reroll_cost
function calculate_reroll_cost(skip_increment)

G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost = 0
end
G.FUNCS.can_reroll is also defined in button_callbacks
slow parcel
i found this for setting the reroll to zero. it was shared here on the discord, this works. its cool
slow parcel
G.FUNCS.can_reroll is also defined in button_callbacks
yes, i see that now
but this looks like its primarily the math logic behind it (unless im missing something)
i saw someone made a bot using this
Bot.ACTIONPARAMS[Bot.ACTIONS.REROLL_SHOP] = {
num_args = 1,
func = "select_shop_action",
isvalid = function(action)
if G and G.STATE == G.STATES.SHOP and (G.GAME.dollars - G.GAME.bankrupt_at - G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost >= 0) then
return true
end
return false
end,
}
but im not privy enough with the games internals to understand what this means exactly, the select_shop_action looks like a sql query (???), so many its related to this api snippet?
primal robin
No it isnt. Most likely it's unique key for bot action or smth
Game doesn't have any actions
slow parcel
gotcha
primal robin
All actions in game controlled by events
slow parcel
gotcha, so ui action triggers or fires the event
function calculate_reroll_cost(skip_increment)
if G.GAME.current_round.free_rerolls < 0 then G.GAME.current_round.free_rerolls = 0 end
if G.GAME.current_round.free_rerolls > 0 then G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost = 0; return end
G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost_increase = G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost_increase or 0
if not skip_increment then G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost_increase = G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost_increase + 1 end
G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost = (G.GAME.round_resets.temp_reroll_cost or G.GAME.round_resets.reroll_cost) + G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost_increase
end
ah i see this in the event handler
G.FUNCS.reroll_shop = function(e)
ah, there it is
so, i guess my question now, is it possible to loop an invocation of this function?
or is that not really a thing with steamodded?
primal robin
Let's assume you want reroll a shop and check jokers for buying.
Your code will look like this:
function iterate_shop()
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
for i, card in ipairs(G.shop_jokers.cards) do
if is_joker_im_looking_for(card) then
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
-- Check for ability to buy card and then buy. Good luck)
return true
end
}))
end
end
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
G.FUNCS.reroll_shop()
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
-- Here, you can call next iteration
return true
end
}))
return true
end
}))
return true
end
}))
end

`Card:set_ability()` is what puts enhancements on a card
Let me be a bit more specific. I want to make an enhancement that sets the base chips of a card to half the original value. I want it to only score half the chips the card normally would. I'm not sure how to grab the original chip value from inside the calculate tab, and having a way to grab that value when the enhancement is added and set it for later use would be very helpful.
The bulk of the enhancement's code is done. It can be applied to cards, but without the original cards base chips, it isn't going to work

You can either modify the base chips when the enhancement is added, or hook the function that gets that amount and manipulate it if your enhancement is present

freereroll sets the cost of rerolls to 0 24/7, the method that i used to properly wait until it actually can reroll again is to check whether the reroll cost isnt 0 (as an indicator of whether the game has set the reroll cost yet)
and of course if the reroll cost is always 0 then itll always be waiting for it to not be 0

`ease_discard` and `ease_hands_played` aren't working

maiden phoenix
use context.before and iterate over context.scoring_hand, and if it finds a 3, you break and upgrade the mult

trying to do some experimentation with the title screen card
is it not possible to replace the initial card in the logo (the Ace of Spades) with an SMODs Joker?
put in the key for one of mine and it crashes every time
the center is there in the table, and i'm using the same logic that the vanilla game uses to load jokers in that position, but for some reason it doesnt wanna work with an SMODS joker
spare elk
you should check the cryptid code since it replaces the ace with a cryptid spectral card
crisp coral
no, it adds the cryptid spectral next to the ace
weak brook
im studying that code
spare elk
no, it adds the cryptid spectral next to the ace
oh right yeah, but it still adds glitched and gold seal so it could be helpful anyway

local replace_card = Card(self.title_top.T.x, self.title_top.T.y, 1.2*G.CARD_W*SC_scale, 1.2*G.CARD_H*SC_scale, G.TITLE_SCREEN_CARD, G.P_CENTERS.c_base)
elseif type(G.TITLE_SCREEN_CARD) == "string" then
local replace_card = Card(self.title_top.T.x, self.title_top.T.y, 1.2*G.CARD_W*SC_scale, 1.2*G.CARD_H*SC_scale, G.P_CARDS.empty, G.P_CENTERS[G.TITLE_SCREEN_CARD])

end```
using this code in a lovely patch, this code doesnt work at all for some reason.
but if i just do ```local replace_card = Card(self.title_top.T.x, self.title_top.T.y, 1.2*G.CARD_W*SC_scale, 1.2*G.CARD_H*SC_scale, G.P_CARDS.empty, G.P_CENTERS[G.TITLE_SCREEN_CARD])``` it works perfectlythe crash says card is nil when it tries to emplace it, somehow
G.TITLE_SCREEN_CARD is currently a string but somehow it comes out unable to set the card
and i'm like 99.99% sure this is the correct syntax for if else so whats the deal here, game
ok I put the if else into a function I put in the mod code and then had the lovely patch code call that and now it works. dunno what the deal with that was but hey got it working now

Does anyone know what "dissolve_mask" is in shaders?
Probably @languid mirage knows
But the main shader used in the game is the dissolve shader I think
I don’t know exactly but I think between rendering a card normally or rendering it disappearing is one of the inputs it takes
languid mirage
it's a function that only does card burn effect when card is being dissolved
flat pier
What is the string to get / change the base nominal of a card?
languid mirage
e.g. when you use a consumable
or dagger eats a joker
you need to have dissolve_mask() run last, since it would have to be on top of your shader
very annoying implementation imo, but yeah
and you have to keep the function because otherwise compiler optimization will yell at you for having unused externs

spare elk
steamodded has good example mods to help you understand the basics of code
mystic river
if my mod added a joker Prosopagnosia: No cards count as face cards, how would you expect the game to behave when you had it alongside Pareidolia
languid mirage
whichever is left most
tribal umbra
if my mod added a joker `Prosopagnosia: No cards count as face cards`, how would...
honestly do this except if paired with pareidolia give x5 mult or something like that
that might work
mystic river
Prospagnosia: No cards count as face cards. X5 Mult if played hand contains a face card. and Pareidolia overrides Prosopagnosia
that would probably get some amusing reactions from the seeming self-contradiction before people figure out the trick
glossy stone
if my mod added a joker `Prosopagnosia: No cards count as face cards`, how would...

how do you have a joker specifically add mult to a playing card? this is the code i currently have, its a little rough but it adds chips to stone cards, not mult:
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
if context.other_card:get_id() <= 0 then
card.ability.extra.mult = math.min(card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain, card.ability.extra.max)
context.other_card.ability.perma_bonus = (context.other_card.ability.perma_bonus or 0) + card.ability.extra.mult
return {
extra = {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'), colour = G.C.MULT},
colour = G.C.MULT,
card = card
}
end
if context.joker_main then
return{
message = localize{type = "variable", key = "a_mult", vars = {card.ability.extra.mult}},
colour = G.C.MULT,
}
end
end
end

Yeah, I noticed there was a function that wasn't really listen inside the docs inside of the examples
buffoon_pack(jokers, 4, inst, 1);

So then does next_shop_item return joker_data as part of the item that's rolled? Because I've been trying to get the rarity of the first joker in the shop, and it keeps telling me there's no member named joker_data

You have to use next_joker_with_info

thinking about it, i kinda basically know how to construct this by just copying pieces from existing jokers
after every hand, check if a face card was played (copied from ride the bus)
if so, set a counter (copied from invisible joker) to zero
if not, increase the counter by one
if the counter is now three, create a spectral card (copied from seance) and set the counter to zero
i could probably implement this without much trouble at all

tips on how to make this more balanced?
stiff locust
tips on how to make this more balanced?
this is way too good for thinning your deck without costing any resource, in fact it gives you something for doing so
stiff locust
so is immolate, the spectral is still insanely strong for thinning your deck
making it random just means you can't take it towards the end of a run if you have a card-focused deck
13 destroyed cards is crazy good random or not
