I'm working on a joker that gives X Mult, but in calculate, setting the X Mult to anything doesn't change the actual scoring of the card.
The message pops up as if it has scored with the value I set, but it does not reflect on the round score

QUICK
HOW DO I REPLACE TEXTURES FOR JOKERS IN BALATRO
AND ALSO WHATS THAT ONE MOD THAT LETS YOU SPAWN IN JOKERS FROM THE COLLECTION
crisp coral
declare a new SMODS.Atlas
proper stratus
also can you change the names for jokers
crisp coral
and DebugPlus
and yes, make a localization file at YourMod/localization/default.lua, following the format of en-us.lua in the game files
proper stratus
wintry solar
alternatively use Malverk so you can turn them on and off at will 😉
wintry solar
yes
wintry solar
what does your texture atlas look like?
proper stratus
i called upon him
proper stratus
what does your texture atlas look like?
;-; idk what that is
wintry solar
the images you're using to replace
proper stratus
i have no texture mods if that helps
proper stratus
the images you're using to replace
oh its just a single joker
i know that theres a big grid of all jokers
what i wanted to do is just replace it in there
wintry solar
so are you aware of structuring a mod with the assets folder?
proper stratus
not really
wintry solar
that's okay, just then I know where to start
so you create a new folder in your Mods folder named whatever you want your mod to be called
crisp coral
i called upon him
john malverk....
wintry solar
then inside that you need a main.lua and a folder named assets
proper stratus
how do i get a main.lua file
wintry solar
just make a new file
wintry solar
looks good
proper stratus
i just made a text file then changed the file type
wintry solar
right, so inside the assets folder, you need a 1x and a 2x folder
inside each of those you need the sprite of your joker in the appropriate sizing
wintry solar
1x is 71x95, 2x is 142x190
wintry solar
Malverk will actually support any sizes
proper stratus
Malverk will actually support any sizes
oh can i just put the 2x image in both then
wintry solar
so if you can't scale it down, you can use that as 1x and scale it up for a new 2x size
wintry solar
right, now for the main.lua file
proper stratus
ok so i have one thats 142x190 and one thats 284 x 380
wintry solar
sounds good
proper stratus
alright sick
proper stratus
right, now for the `main.lua` file
yes >:3
wintry solar
I'm not fully clued up on the new structure for mod info so we'll use the old way
proper stratus

Can two messages be returned if a Joker multiplies both chips and mult?
wintry solar
Can *two* messages be returned if a Joker multiplies both chips and mult?
No, but you can use card_eval_status_text to draw the second message
wintry solar
I mean returning both values also works
teal estuary
why ``card_eval_status_text`` when you can ``eval_this`` twice
this just helped me figure out how to fix a joker i have, ty 😭
faint yacht
What of retriggering every Joker? This one I have also has that, but it ends up retriggering itself after the scoring is finished.
if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card ~= self then
return {
message = toga_randomruntext(), -- random string output function, don't mind this.
repetitions = card.ability.extra.retriggers,
card = card,
}
end
Also, the messages do show, but the multiplication of chips doesn't even occur, only the mult.
Here's the calculate part.
faint yacht
Right... then would it be better off merging the two into one message into a return?
teal estuary
you cant have more then one message in one return, you need to use something like eval_this
faint yacht
I more of meant to make a "custom" message, but return both Xchip_mod and Xmult_mod like I did prior to attempting eval_this.
wintry solar
you can put both x modifiers in the same return
then just put one of the messages in it, and the other in card_eval_status_text
or put the xmult in eval_this and the xchips in normal return
faint yacht
How would I format card_eval_status_text to include the blue color and the SFX that is made with xchips?
wintry solar
the final argument takes a table, you can add a colour = G.C.BLUE to it, but it doesn't look like it supported custom sounds
maiden phoenix
the final argument takes a table, you can add a `colour = G.C.BLUE` to it, but i...
Its dumb that you cant mute or play a differente sound
faint yacht
or put the xmult in `eval_this` and the xchips in normal return
The mult triggers twice in that.
if context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.before and not context.after then
if card.ability.extra.x_chips > 0 and card.ability.extra.x_mult > 0 then
SMODS.eval_this(card, {
message = localize({ type = "variable", key = "a_xmult", vars = { card.ability.extra.x_mult } }),
Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.x_mult,
colour = G.C.MULT
})
return {
message = localize({ type = "variable", key = "a_xchips", vars = { card.ability.extra.x_chips } }),
Xchip_mod = card.ability.extra.x_chips,
colour = G.C.CHIPS
}
end
end
And what else do I add to that check if accounting for the retriggering of other Jokers shown below in the image I've sent earlier to make sure the retrigger doesn't affect itself?
wintry solar
does the retrigger bit not work?
faint yacht
It retriggers itself, yes... and I want the multiplication of chips and mult to occur once from it.
wintry solar
I'm not sure I understand fully what the problem is then
faint yacht
The retriggering is meant to affect other Jokers but itself.
wintry solar
oh, try ~= card instead of ~= self
faint yacht
Perfect, this also fixes the random functionless retriggers. 🙏

Funny visual bug with Brainstorm and my Joker - the xchips element is red when on Brainstorm, but is otherwise functional. 😂
teal estuary
im pretty sure all brainstorm things are red? but i could be misremebering
faint yacht
It copies the Sly Joker's +50 chips just fine. Although might just be my specific thing, as I use eval_this for the Joker's Xmult_mod first, then a return for Xchip_mod.
wintry solar
it might be because xchips is a modded value, so it gets confused

wtf??
Did you not have it defined when you first spawned your joker?
The extras on the center are only used when creating the joker
After that they aren't touched so they can scale and stuff
teal estuary
i mean, thats how that always is - i've just never had an issue with spawning them in
tepid eagle
that's like saying "i built a car, and then i added wheels to the blueprint, so why didn't all the cars i already built gain wheels?"
rough furnace
I mean if you had some bad code that set the chips to nil at one point it would also do the same
teal estuary
to my knowledge, nothing is effecting the value of chips unless its a club card 😭
or nothing should be atleast
spawning them in and then reloading seems to cause this issue, so yeah
rough furnace
The value wouldn't be set to inf or nan by any chance?

I'm curious, is it possible to make a boss blind that makes it so cards drawn aren't removed from your deck? So that your deck will always have however many cards it currently has, no matter how many cards you actually draw.

a center has no key property
generally the key is, the key in P_CENTERS
but since collections pull from P_CENTER_POOLS.<pool> and those don't have keys the only way to get a key out of it is to iterate through P_CENTERS to look for a matching center
and then just take the key from the pair

a center has no `key` property

for one, that won't compile because you're trying to define a function inside a table

anyways to test it you launch the game
and if you have debugplus or similar you just open collection find the joker and press c or 3 to spawn it in

ive always used G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.ABILITYNAME)
im guessing its based on the context its used in because mines always been under add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
silent pawn
its better if you're using multiple jokers that stack handsize
weary jungle
lets say i use a consumable in small blind, how would i, for example, change hand size next blinds
silent pawn
its better if you're using multiple jokers that stack handsize
well i suppose if you're adding handsize it would just kind of be like
G.hand.config.card_limit = G.hand.config.card_limit + n
end```where n is the amount of handsize added by the jokerwhat about removing hand size?
silent pawn
G.hand.config.card_limit = G.hand.config.card_limit - n
end```but i use this one second
G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.h_size)
end,
remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
G.hand:change_size(card.ability.extra.h_size)
end,```where h_size is the amount of hand size
weary jungle
lets say i use a consumable in small blind, how would i, for example, change han...
how would this work? i would use tags, but double tags would be an issue
silent pawn
on the next blind after using the consumable?
i wouldnt know i cant lie
you can use this code as reference, it'll need tweaking for your own use case, but i have a joker that increases the handsize based on the amount of skipped blinds
weary jungle
i want handsize to decrease, but not on the round you use it on
silent pawn
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {
G.hand:change_size(card.ability.extra.increase),
message = ("+" .. (G.GAME.skips) .. " Hand Size"),
colour = G.C.ATTENTION,
card = card
})
return true
end}))
end```yeah i dont know how you could do this
nocturne garnet
do yall know why it won't save
silent pawn
you'd have to have some variable that counts the amount of consumables you use during a blind, and then store that
nocturne garnet
it saves during the session but everything is erased afterwards
silent pawn
and when a blind starts you'd want to affect your handsize using that variable and reset it back to 0
weary jungle
itd be a permanent change
silent pawn
yeah yeah
set the variable back to 0 i mean so that it can count the next blinds consumables
what would the change be per consumable used
silent pawn
oh is it the consumable that takes the hand size away
weary jungle
you use it, gain 1 or 2 discards for this round, but -1 hand size for the rest of the game
silent pawn
i was under the impression there was a joker that was doing it whenever you used a consumable by bad
oh i see
im not sure how you'd apply the -1 hand size on the next round
it'd be fairly easy to make if it applied on the same blind as the blind you use it on though
weary jungle
is there a function that happens when you win a blind?
because i can store the hand size change and change hand size when the blind is won
or... will i have to take control of functions (scary)
elder vapor
working on a concept for a mod, gonna see if i can get a prototype working once i'm done concepting
weary jungle
maybe when the gold cards score is when i can change handsize
crisp coral
do yall know why it won't save
SMODS.save_mod_config(current_mod)
silent pawn
is there a function that happens when you win a blind?
pretty sure but i dont know it off the top of my head
weary jungle
would this work?
silent pawn
i think it might just be context.end_of_round
nocturne garnet
``SMODS.save_mod_config(current_mod)``
THANK YOU!!!!!
weary jungle
dumb question, what does context mean
nocturne garnet
dumb question, what does ```context``` mean
context```
is a table sent through in joker calculationsoh wait you're making a consumable i forgot
nocturne garnet
```lua
context```
is a table sent through in joker calculations
so lua context.selling_self happens when a card is sold, which then triggers lua (the card here):calculate_joker{selling_self = true}
weary jungle
could i change the blind win function to also change hand size from a variable?
silent pawn
what do you mean by the "blind win function"
weary jungle
like whatever happens when blind wins
there is probably a function for that
like gold cards giving money
silent pawn
i dont work with consumables too much but contexts might still apply to consumables i have no idea
someone else might have to help you cus i mainly make jokers xd
sorry
weary jungle
CONSUMABLE GODS HEAR MY PLEA!!!!
spare elk
THUNK!!!! YOUR MODDER HAS RETURNED!! I COME... SEEKING THE CONTEXT OF AFTERBLIND!!!
weary jungle
would G.GAME.blind.defeat(self) work? it seems like it would do things after a blind is defeated,
spare elk
modder... you will not get a full view of the context of afterblind
royal ridge
like gold cards giving money
function end_round()
spare elk
GRAHHHHH!!! DO NOT DENY ME MY CONTEXT TABLES!!!
royal ridge
like
wdym
that's just the function that creates the end round state (gold cards and such)
nocturne garnet
``SMODS.save_mod_config(current_mod)``
nvm doesnt work
idk what im doing wrong 😭
weary jungle
you use it, gain 2 discards for this round, then hand size decreases by one for the rest of the game (not the blind you use it on)
silent pawn
its making the hand size apply on the next blind that is the pain
xd
otherwise it would be super simple
weary jungle
this would also probably be useful for the rest of the consumables im doing (short term benifits, long term downsides)
royal ridge
increment a global game variable (G.GAME.your_consumable_uses, could be anything as long as it's in G.GAME), then hook end_round() to decrement hand size based on how big that variable is, then reset it to 0
weary jungle
any text editor would do
silent pawn
you CAN use notepad but its not ideal
i use vscode but just anything you can use to edit text
tribal umbra
you CAN use notepad but its not ideal
what do you use?

tepid crow
don't use notepad++ if you're planning to do anything long-term btw, it's fine for a quick edit but not for a whole project
royal ridge
how do i hook a function?,
this is a really simple hook, you can just do something like:
local endroundref = end_round
function end_round()
endroundref()
your_code = here
end
what you're basically doing is copying the current end_round function, overwriting it, and then calling the copy from within the function so nothing breaks

what are a list of globals and where would i find them
royal ridge
what are a list of globals and where would i find them
if this is about what i said earlier then sorry, i wasn't really clear enough
you can make the global game variable pretty much anything (G.GAME.bhefiwhllaaaaaaaaaaa), it doesn't have to exist yet
just make sure it exists before trying to see what its value is at
but if you actually want a list of literally every global then idfk lmao
tepid eagle
G.GAME.bhefiwhllaaaaaaaaaa is set to 14

so how do you start with making a mod?
do you get your ideas together first
well
i assume you do that haha
but i mean i dont have any programming knowledge, can i still whip up something with enough effort or

yea ofc the first step is just come up with ideas

best tip of balatro modding - fuck the documentation
tribal umbra
issue is
im not very good at modding or anything like that
so im scared of fucking up my game LOL
silent pawn
you dont really need to be
this is the first time ive modded a game xd
also, any mods dont affect the actual source code of the vanilla game itself
tribal umbra
ah yeah
silent pawn
if you break anything and want to fix it you can just remove your mod from your mods folder and it'll be fine
by fix it i mean just revert to vanilla
mods cant have like permanent effects on the game itself xd
silent pawn
yeah start by creating the mods directory
so you'll have the assets and then your .lua
also under assets you'll have a 1x and 2x folder, 2x just being the same sprites but upscaled to 2x
you can look at basically any other mod for its directories, but some mods do lay them out differently
tribal umbra
making the spritesheet might be fucking impossible
silent pawn
heres mine
silent pawn
making the spritesheet might be fucking impossible

mhm!!

that's a good idea too
hybrid iris
yeahh
tribal umbra
i see
hybrid iris
basically an instant win
silent pawn
xd
tribal umbra
damn making custom hands is a nice idea
silent pawn
what actually are the stats that it has lol
tribal umbra
i might look into like
silent pawn
damn making custom hands is a nice idea
quite a pain though ive heard
tribal umbra
i thought about an exponential joker
tribal umbra
which has a 1/x chance to square the amount of chips each round
but that looks super difficult
hybrid iris
what actually are the stats that it has lol
1837 x 1876 lol
tribal umbra
i haven't decided on the chance yet
silent pawn
oh to be fair that isnt that bad
tribal umbra
it starts at 2
thing is
if i make it too rare it's gonna take forever to scale
but if i make it too common its going to scale so fast
2-4-16-256..
silent pawn
wait so is it going to be like
it has a chance to square an amount, and then that amount is added?
or just square the chips in the current hand played entirely
hybrid iris
honestly when it comes down to pseudocode writing jokers is just like
"if context.joker_scoring, mult = 20"
tribal umbra
it has a chance to square an amount, and then that amount is added?
added yes
tribal umbra
or just square the chips in the current hand played entirely
nah this is too broken lmao
hybrid iris
oh that is a really fast scaling
silent pawn
yea xd
tribal umbra
oh that is a really fast scaling
hence why im split
tribal umbra
make it too rare and you're stuck with 4 chips for the entire run
silent pawn
oh so it will start out with like a small +chips, and each round/hand played/whatever it has a chance to square that amount
hybrid iris
im sure there's code for that in the game
tribal umbra
i thought about making it like
powers of 2
so like 2-4-8-16 etc..
but i dont know either
silent pawn
im sure there's code for that in the game
G.GAME.blind:get_type() == 'Boss' to check if its a boss
hybrid iris
yeaahh
tribal umbra
i already have a good powers of 2 idea for a joker
silent pawn
it'd be like
silent pawn
if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind:get_type() == 'Boss' then
hybrid iris
mhm
tribal umbra
and whenever a hand with 2 or more cards adding up to a power of 2 is played you get +16 mult permanently on that card
or +8
thinking
silent pawn
by "a power of 2" do you mean a square number
tribal umbra
on the joker i mean
hybrid iris
`if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind:get_type() == 'Boss' then`
actually iirc its moreso
if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss
tribal umbra
2 or 4 or 8 or 16 or 32
silent pawn
oh right
tribal umbra
don't think you can add up to more
silent pawn
i mean you can but not in vanilla
tribal umbra
yeah so not very useful
silent pawn
depends if you want mod compat or not
tribal umbra
not really tbh i think that's too difficult to make
silent pawn
depends
tribal umbra
some jokers might override others and shit
silent pawn
override in what way
silent pawn
i think if two mods have a global of the same name that might cause issues but other than that i dont think you can really break other mods too much with your own
xd
silent pawn
will have to ask around a LOT tho haha
yeah ofc
i started off asking so many questions but you get there eventually
silent pawn
have fun
elder vapor
hey i'm having trouble with my mod not loading, should i send the source here?
nvm i put a header argument wrong lol
hardy viper
lua doesn't have compound operators
weary jungle
if this is about what i said earlier then sorry, i wasn't really clear enough
yo...
if you are still here, i dont think im declaring my globals correctly
how do i declare a global
weary jungle
lua doesn't have compound operators
crying
hardy viper
how do i declare a global
anything you declare is automatically global unless it is prefaced with "local" or it's being declared as a value inside an existing table that is a local
well
if you're setting a value inside a table it's not a declaration
so meh
hardy viper
G.GAME doesn't exist when the game is loading
it exists in the same context that a run exists
hardy viper
you can hook start_run
royal ridge
you can hook start_run
this is a good idea
you can also declare the variable when you need it but it requires some janky handling
weary jungle
hook ing time
royal ridge
start_run requires a more complex hook actually
royal ridge
no it doesn't
hardy viper
this doesnt work?
it's G.start_run but everything else looks correct afaik
i don't think start_run has arguments
hardy viper
`start_run` requires a more complex hook actually
also wdym by this it's quite simple
royal ridge
i believe it goes something like
local startRef = Game.start_run
function Game:start_run(args)
startRef(self, args)
your_code = here
end
what does this mean? (learning so much about lua)
royal ridge
no idea
colon means like
object self argument but it's also contained in that table or something
but you're also passing the args down to the copy
weary jungle
ok
also, we are working!!!!
what is extra, and should i use it?
it seems to store values related to whatever the thing is doing
wintry solar
A colon passes the object before it into the function as the first variable

What isn’t working?
weary jungle
how do you check if you are at a boss blind again
tribal umbra
just read through the api documentation - what does the config parameter do?
wintry solar
Should be loc_txt btw not loc_text
tribal umbra
just read through the api documentation - what does the config parameter do?
i dont get it
what does it mean by initial values?
the basic thing a joker gives?
so for example if square joker starts at 0 chips does it settle that in the config parameter
wintry solar
Yes
elder vapor
Should be `loc_txt` btw not `loc_text`
ohh i feel so stupid 😭 working now, thanks!!
wintry solar
It’ for it to contain the values your joker is using yeah
weary jungle
why is there 2 of each
wintry solar
Update smods
weary jungle
ugh
tribal umbra
why is there 2 of each
these look nice
royal ridge
definitely your fault then
(only kind of)
weary jungle
also where are the color tags for descriptions
tribal umbra
wait are mult / chips color tags for descriptions automatically set or do you need them?
weary jungle
you need them
tribal umbra
damn
wintry solar
Download from source
weary jungle
download zip?
wintry solar
Yeah
wintry solar
Do you want them to be actually negative as in not taking up space?
weary jungle
yep
tribal umbra
again i think laguz is a bit strange
weary jungle
its a hold until you need it thing
tribal umbra
just one more discard for a single hand trading off hand size
idk
if it was like permanent+1 discard
or longer
weary jungle
thats why im not sure about the discard
tribal umbra
just one round tho?
primal robin
Maybe complete other runes first, then think about balance?
tribal umbra
ok time to do the 23 other ones
23 wow
weary jungle
24 runes, 25 including blank (spawn last used rune)
wintry solar
I don’t think I would ever give up hand size for a temporary discard gain
tribal umbra
I don’t think I would ever give up hand size for a temporary discard gain
yeah that's what im saying
even ectoplasm has more permanent benefits for hand size
and it's not considered super good
weary jungle
one idea was that you draw a card less first hand of other blinds
tribal umbra
hmm
weary jungle
so you draw 7/8, then discard to get 8/8
they wanted it so you draw 4/x at first, so you need a discard to find 5 card hands
i think that could work but itd be a lot more coding
another option is simply +2 discard this round, -1 discards rest of rounds
weary jungle
I don’t think I would ever give up hand size for a temporary discard gain
what would you give up for a temporary discard gain?
that relates to this
tribal umbra
what would you give up for a temporary discard gain?
temporary hand
weary jungle
like a rune im thinking of is +x$, -x$ intresst cap
tribal umbra
like a rune im thinking of is +x$, -x$ intresst cap
this would be okay
if the x money was good enough
so like
+15 -1/2 interest cap or something
wintry solar
I’m not sure I’d give up anything for discards tbh
tribal umbra
^
weary jungle
maybe... discards and hand size?
gain temporary discards and hand size and give up ___
this seems ok
i think i will remove the downside
is dagaz ok though?
nocturne garnet
i HATE vanilla jokers!! NO MORE SPAWNING!!
crisp elbow
because you could delete the thing that's inherently stopping you from winning
but on post ante 8 scaling it could just fuck you over
tribal umbra
it's alright as a reroll tool if that makes sense

weary jungle

but thats endless, i dont think +2 discards would help you either
tribal umbra
like reroll bodd blind?
you disable say the needle and get another boss
you essentially reroll the boss blind

p sure gold stake scaling and normal scaling are the same in endless
weary jungle
so is dagaz good?
crisp elbow
p sure gold stake scaling and normal scaling are the same in endless
You're right
weary jungle
my px might not be right
timid parrot
is dagaz ok though?
Which part are you most attached to? The Luchador effect or +1 Ante? As it stands now, it is never worth it to use Dagaz. The downside directly counteracts the upside.
tribal umbra
Which part are you most attached to? The Luchador effect or +1 Ante? As it stand...
this too honestly
disabling one ante to get another one
which also requires more chips
idk..
timid parrot
I mean let’s just consider the Wall
In most cases this card would make the boss blind bigger than the active Wall would’ve been
And even if it doesn’t you’re still an ante ahead now
So you’re still likely screwed
tribal umbra
In most cases this card would make the boss blind bigger than the active Wall wo...
yeah
timid parrot
This card is for when you run into the Plant on a Face Card build, and I still think it’s too punishing
weary jungle
The luchador effect
timid parrot
The luchador effect
alright so the precedent right now is that nothing that changes or disables the boss blind should have a permanent drawback. If you still want a drawback, you need something temporary, like messing with money or setting the boss blind requirement to 3X base instead of the usual 2X base
weary jungle
Maybe no intrest on that round or no blind beat money for that round
timid parrot
yeah that would be good
disable the boss blind but it doesn't reward you with its usual $5 guarantee
weary jungle
I have 4px padding
cerulean rose
these consumables are bigger
crisp elbow
Yeah if you want it to be a proper circle the image size has to be within a 71x95 bounding box
weary jungle
wait... i drew in 63x93... i dont need padding
how do i export my spritesheent!!!
its a 71x95 canvas, and i drew within 65x93
(i messed up math on sides
nvm we good
How do i ge t the boss reward "$$$$" text to go away
the blind doesnt give money, but the reward text is still there
lament zealot
How do i ge t the boss reward "$$$$" text to go away
Just probably reuse whatever code that Red Stake uses for Small Blinds.
