I was initially confused because this shouldn't be a problem
#💻・modding-dev
gaunt thistle
all lovely does is it compares the path provided to it to the target path
if they match then it applies the patch
languid mirage
you mean my PR?
gaunt thistle
so yeah, I was talking about something else
crisp coral
larswijns question
gaunt thistle
have you confirmed that your target patch matches the path of the file within the game's executable?
vivid glade
does lovely not check that?
crisp coral
also happened to me so i can confirm
languid mirage
.
tepid crow
I don't think lovely does a sanity check on the path you provide in target
crisp coral
but can't recreate rn since im bed
tepid crow
if it fails it fails silently
gaunt thistle
mostly because it doesn't have a way of knowing what is and isn't a valid path
for the same reason that lovely can't know when it's done applying all of the patches
vivid glade
yeah, it exists
languid mirage
tepid crow
moMent
gaunt thistle
yeah, it exists
is src/ comprised of files that you dumped from the game executable?
vivid glade
no, src is a folder within the game executable
languid mirage
I dont think you should include that
gaunt thistle
hm
vivid glade
it's like
main.lua
other_file.lua
src/
menu/
...
what game is this?
languid mirage
oh
gaunt thistle
duh
tepid crow
🤣
gaunt thistle
if it's free then I would like a link so I can poke around at it
vivid glade
it's in playtest lol
gaunt thistle
where's the src/ or menu/ directory?
crisp coral
if you poke around a bit, the editor events are 3 folders deep
crisp coral
where's the src/ or menu/ directory?
different game than theirs
vivid glade
where's the src/ or menu/ directory?
that's... not the game im modding
i cant share source
tepid crow
reading comprehension is dead
gaunt thistle
I don't get the joke
tepid crow
the joke is that for some reason, reading comprehension has always sucked in any discord related to balatro
vivid glade
you missed the joke
tepid crow
I can take a look at beatblock
vivid glade
even THIS (imo the most basic lovely patch) technically gets recognized by lovely (it throws errors when necesairy) but i dont see the print!:

[patches.pattern]

match_indent = true
that's odd. the print appears in the dump, right?
vivid glade
there IS no dump!
gaunt thistle
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
vivid glade
hardy viper
does io.write work at least
does lovely print even go through io.write or does it use the C lib for that
gaunt thistle
it won't create the dump directory if no patches were applied
hardy viper
oh there's no dump

that makes sense 😭

it won't create the dump directory if no patches were applied

this is super weird

make the patch file entirely nonsense and see if it panics

do you mean like
a joker that adds mult to a playing card

it should just add mult

okay everything except the seals are working again
i'm not creative enough to think of what the right key could be other than Seal
frosty dock
okay everything except the seals are working again
seal sprites are actually stored in a shared table
you can change the atlas, it just doesn't affect the sprites that already exist
frosty dock
the game creates a Sprite object once and then just keeps using it, so you need to reassign that object if you change the atlas, otherwise it won't take effect
it's kept in G.shared_seals
bronze thunder
and that only applies to the seals?
that seems like a strange decision so i have to ask to make sure i'm not just doing things wrong

It also has the benefit of giving users customisation within your texture pack and the option of using additional ones, whilst your method doesn’t really allow that

Hmmm I’d try manipulating the price changing function to look if you have a Joker and modify the price there
Keep an eye out for the correct ordering inside the function whether you hook or inject into it
Also if you want it to apply immediately you might need to recalculate the prices of shop items although future items should automatically update
Balance-wise, I think the discount could be higher

yeah you should. I assume right now you're hooking card.calculate_joker and it's not very compatible rn

Hello! Are the example mods intended to work out of the box? (Assuming they are copied out of the example_mods dir and into the root /Balatro/Mods/... dir)
I'm trying to diagnose why I'm unable to load mods.
I believe that the lovely injection is happening because if I've only ever gotten the console to launch when the injected version.dll is present alongside the the other Balatro binaries.
The lua files for the mods are located at the directory specified in the logs so I'm not sure what I'm missing

can loc_txt be changed per card?
as in, I want to change the description of a joker after it's added to the deck
tepid crow
you can dynamically update loc_txt yes
tepid crow
You probably could update it within add_to_deck. I wouldn't do that though
see loc_vars at https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/05.-SMODS.Center#all-centers for ways to properly change a joker's description
pearl bane
I mean I can just put a ternary to choose between nil and the text I want ¯_(ツ)_/¯
tepid crow
also how to do a joker pop up/wiggle/message in `add_to_deck`?
I'm guessing card_eval_status_text? not 100% sure
pearl bane
I'm _guessing_ `card_eval_status_text`? not 100% sure
hmmm
frosty dock
loc_vars to change the keys is preferable to anything else
changing loc_txt doesn't do anything because it doesn't update localization
tepid crow
(you could try to update and reparse loc_txt if you're a masochist)
pearl bane
hmmmm
the problem is that I want it to have an entirely new text
tepid crow
DID YOU READ THE DOCS I LINKED
frosty dock
hmmmm
the problem is that I want it to have an entirely new text
that doesn't mattter unless you literally generate it on the fly
mellow sable
loc_vars lets you change the loc_txt you use on the fly
you can return a completely different key to use
pearl bane
DID YOU READ THE DOCS I LINKED
YES I DID
mellow sable
it's how I set it up with Cryptid's gameset system
tepid crow
YES I DID
what do you think
You can force the use of a different description entirely (
key).
means???
mellow sable
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
local gameset = Card.get_gameset(center)
if gameset == 'disabled' then gameset = 'mainline' end --still show description
return { vars = { center.ability.extra.chips }, key = "j_cry_test_"..gameset }
end,
then I have loc_txt for j_cry_test_mainline, j_cry_test_madness, etc.
you also need to use the localization file system for that
frosty dock
what is that arg naming
mellow sable
idk, that's how I have it set up :jimball:

Not convenient. BMM will not only have steamodded support, that's why a unified way of handling meta-data would be better

it doesn't have to match exactly, but I still think it's convenient to have common fields use matching keys so you can just throw in the same file

how would i make an edition that doesnt allow the joker to be blueprinted
i think it would be like context manipulation right
gritty valley
I'm pretty sure you'd just have to change blueprint_compat to false on the joker
Though the issue is changing it back to it's previous value when the edition is removed
crisp coral
that only changes the display, the blueprint check needs to be manually changed
gritty valley
Oh wait you could just prevent the blueprint context from ever being passed down actually
When a card has the edition

This is about what I have for what I think it should look like?? I dont really know cause I havent loaded it but
autumn coral
i got it to work btw
weak depot
am i going insane or should this work? it's getting mad at the set_ability thing but i don't know what i'm overlooking. is there a different thing for putting in custom enhancements that i'm missing?
consumable.use = function(self, card, area, copier)
for i = 1, #G.hand.highlighted do
G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.cosmic, nil, true)
end
end
prefix?
weak depot
so G.P_CENTERS.sdoc_cosmic?
crisp coral
presumably, i don't know much about enhancements
frosty dock
the description of the card isn't done but yeah still nothing
there's also a class prefix, so if the rest is correct, this should be m_sdoc_cosmic
weak depot
shoot, okay
THERE WE GO
thank you so much :>
ironically i tried both m_ and sdoc_ seperately

there's some example mods like e.g. https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/main/example_mods/Mods/AbsoluteDeck.lua
as for your example specifically, it should be loc_txt = {...} (you always need to assign it to something, no unordered arguments)

ah, I see, I ended up having to use the legacy thing because R2modmanager is only updated to 0.9.8, but if it works for newer versions aswell its honestly unneeded to change it
function SMODS.INIT.SoulDeck()
local loc_def = {
["name"] = "Soul Deck",
["text"] = {
[1] = "A Really Stupid Deck",
},
}
local mymod = SMODS.findModByID("SoulDeck")

local soulConfig = {hand_size = 75, joker_slot = 100, consumable_slot = 100, dollars = 100, spectral_rate = 100, consumables = {"c_soul", "c_soul", "c_soul", "c_soul", "c_soul", "c_soul", "c_soul"}}
local soulDeck = SMODS.Deck:new("Soul Deck", "souldeck", soulConfig, loc_def)
soulDeck:register()
soulSprite:register()

ended up with just that

yeah you probably shouldn't be using 0.9.8
frosty dock
ah, I see, I ended up having to use the legacy thing because R2modmanager is onl...
you really can't rely on new docs for an old version, and 0.9.8 never had good docs. you really should just update to 1.0 off github, it's worth it
worldly moss
ah alright, I had just kinda ran with 0.9.8 since R2 never got 1.0 for whatever reason
wintry solar
people are also very unlikely to help you with 0.9.8 code
frosty dock
also given only OG modders (like myself being heavily involved with its development) actually know the ways of 0.9.8, it's hard getting support for it
most of the time even I won't be willing to help with it, it's just that terrible in several ways
worldly moss
I feel like I need more explanation as to what the atlas thing is
I feel like im not understanding something thats trivially easy but im just glancing over it?
like im seeing people using sprites in 0.9.8, and im understanding that, but atlases im just kinda blank on
frosty dock
SMODS.Sprite in 0.9.8 and SMODS.Atlas in newer versions have the same purpose
it's just that the old version was poorly named, so we changed it
both are just sprite sheets
worldly moss
so in the backs, where it says atlas = 'centers',, if im using a custom sprite, what would I do wit hthat??
cause I cant tell if centers is like a global atlas for all the base game content?
frosty dock
there's several base game atlases. you can find the corresponding files by extracting the game executable with 7-zip
somewhere in the code, there's a section that relates these file names to atlas keys
0.9.8 docs have a reference, actually
worldly moss
so If I wanted to make my own atlas, it would just be lua SMODS.Atlas{ key = "soulAtlas", px = 71, py = 95, path = "SoulAtlas.png" }
then plug soulAtlas in for the key in the SMODS.Back?
or
not the key
the atlas
frosty dock
yeah
worldly moss
oh alr, cool
frosty dock
note that you can't regularly specify base game atlases this way without an additional argument, this is needed to avoid conflicts
also means you don't need to worry about your keys being unique from other mods (that was not the case in 0.9.8)
worldly moss
alrighty, thank you!
frosty dock
ah alright, I had just kinda ran with 0.9.8 since R2 never got 1.0 for whatever ...
just saw i forgot to answer this. mostly the reason is that thunderstore was always kind of unpopular with our modding community, and even if we started uploading newer versions of steamodded, it won't work because it needs a newer version of lovely than is present on there (not a huge deal admittedly, we could always ask metherul to update), but also it's been in ongoing (alpha) development for a while and maintaining that on TS would mean always having to keep it updated or have people use outdated versions
worldly moss
oh so do I also need to install the newer lovely?
frosty dock
yeah, steamodded doesn't strictly require the very latest version feature-wise, but the one on r2mm is way too ancient
https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector/releases/tag/v0.6.0 this is the latest version
arctic lion
ok yeah very simple to set up
worldly moss
ok yeah very simple to set up
thats actually a cool idea
one day of the year is REALLY op... other than that its a ok joker
arctic lion
obviously very niche but could be balanced, especially with having them appear conditionally
could always add a special card that let's you change your season
arctic lion
yep made that mistake seconds ago haha
worldly moss
if == !Halloween then return false end
arctic lion
i'm rusty on my lua, the formatting has really jumbled my wires
arctic lion
if == !Halloween then return false end
pretty much as simple as that yeah
worldly moss
honestly this lua framework scared me for a minute, but looking at it for a bit it got easier on the eyes
arctic lion
calculate = function(self, card, context)
local current_date = os.date("*t", os.time())
local is_halloween = (current_date.month == 10 and current_date.day == 31)
if context.joker_main and is_halloween then
return {
message = localize{type='variable', key='a_xmult', vars = {card.ability.extra.halloween_Xmult}},
Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.halloween_Xmult
}
elseif context.joker_main and not is_halloween then
return {
message = localize{type='variable', key='a_mult', vars = {card.ability.extra.default_mult}},
mult_mod = card.ability.extra.default_mult
}
end
end
arctic lion
still quite crude but it's truly just get date and apply whatever
you've made a friend
worldly moss
one of them can't find the main file...
strange
the other one loads fine tho
OH
IM STUPID
I left the legacy header in my main file
which probably confused it
which is why theres one
with no version
(legacy header one)
and one with a version
from the JSON manifest
would this be the correct file structure?
nocturne garnet
could always add a special card that let's you change your season
special card that changes the date and time of your pc with os.execute('date MM-DD-YYYY')
arctic lion
i think having users glance at their time and date and be shocked it's christmas in the middle of july might be a bit much
arctic lion
would this be the correct file structure?
looks right to me
worldly moss
i think having users glance at their time and date and be shocked it's christmas...
could have a separate joker that overrides the os.date check if in hand
and lets certain checks pass anyways
the spooky joker
literally just makes it halloween
nothing else
arctic lion
i was thinking a tier 2 voucher maybe
worldly moss
ooh
arctic lion
depends how op they are really
arctic lion
maybe tier 1 it chooses a random season each ante, tier 2 you decide which to pick or something
gaunt thistle
could have a separate joker that overrides the os.date check if in hand
A joker whose xmult scales with the time of day
worldly moss
3x mult because its 3pm
arctic lion
A joker whose xmult scales with the time of day
yeah got one in the works
making one called night owl
worldly moss
actually, might have to work off a 24 hr clock
brisk quartz
me changing my time to abuse this joker
worldly moss
yea
gaunt thistle
wicked
arctic lion
closer to unsociable hours you are the more powerful it gets
worldly moss
making one called night owl
make it time of day in 24hr clock /2 = xmult
so playing at around midnight would be a 12x mult
arctic lion
eh people will find a way to cheese it regardless, it's inconvenient enough where people won't bother unless they're properly sweating it
worldly moss
I mean this jokerset isnt really like... balanced is it?
arctic lion
yeah but you don't want it to be unfun by being too easy or too hard
worldly moss
spot the problems (:
gaunt thistle
so playing at around midnight would be a 12x mult
I would make the sweet spot anywhere from 1000-400
worldly moss
almost forgot to show the best part
brisk quartz
spot the problems (:
what people think cryptid/jen's almanac is in a single screenshot, colorized
autumn coral
how can i poll the edition of a consumeable
arctic lion
imagine making a card based on a smart watch where the mult is decided by health goals like steps taken and how much sleep you got
autumn coral
like let's say i want to know if card[1] is negative or not
in the consumeable area
worldly moss
imagine making a card based on a smart watch where the mult is decided by health...
garmin integration
autumn coral
arctic lion
you walked 12000 steps today here's +120 mult
brisk quartz
what next, a joker that gives {10,001} mult? /j
autumn coral
i ALREADY have instances of these cards, but for some reason, it isn't working lol
worldly moss
force the player to plug in a garmin watch to play the game, and make it so their BPM = their xmult
artificial adrenaline just for optimized mult
gaunt thistle
each 0.1 degree over your baseline body temp is a x2 multiplier
arctic lion
link the user's spotify account and mult is based on their taste in music
worldly moss
link the user's spotify account and mult is based on their taste in music
country drains all of their money, 0x mult, hand size 1, destroys all jokers

quicj question, how would I do something like checkered deck does except with all spades?
rough furnace
use the http lua module and ping time.gov
I will mitm it
worldly moss
I just want nothing but spades
weak depot
do y'all know why this crashes, but only when more than 1 card is played?
code: ```lua
consumable.use = function(self, card, area, copier)
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.4, func = function()
play_sound('tarot1')
card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
return true end }))
for i = 1, #G.hand.highlighted do
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.15,func = function()
G.hand.highlighted[i]:flip()
play_sound('card1')
G.hand.highlighted[i]:juice_up(0.3, 0.3);
return true end }))
G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_sdoc_cosmic, nil, true)
end
for i = 1, #G.hand.highlighted do
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.35,func = function()
G.hand.highlighted[i]:flip()
play_sound('tarot2')
G.hand.highlighted[i]:juice_up(0.3, 0.3)
G.hand:remove_from_highlighted(G.hand.highlighted[i])
return true end }))
end
end
nuh uh
worldly moss
do y'all know why this crashes, but only when more than 1 card is played?
code:...
G.hand.highlighted[i]:flip() is indexing nil somewhere, maybe when you use the thing the cards aren't counted as highlighted anymore?
could be when using tarot cards, they technically aren't highlighted while they're being flipped or whatever?
arctic lion
do y'all know why this crashes, but only when more than 1 card is played?
code:...
i suspect because you're trying to modify G.hand.highlighted during the iteration?
gaunt thistle
it's legitimately impossible
arctic lion
try with a local variable instead
weak depot
okay
worldly moss
how would I make my deck act kinda like the checkered deck?
except all the suits are spades
I just want if not spade then make spade
apply = function()
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
if v.base.suit == not "Spades" then
v:change_suit("Spades")
end
end
return true
end
}))
end
I kinda tried here, but I have no clue what the apply thing does
I just saw it in an example and kinda threw it at the wall
worldly moss
```lua
apply = function()
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func...
for reference, this is inside SMODS.Back{}
weak depot
```lua
apply = function()
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func...
(if you want "not equals" you can do ~= instead, so in this case if v.base.suit ~= "spades" then)
worldly moss
(if you want "not equals" you can do `~=` instead, so in this case `if v.base.su...
ooh, good to know
but yea, I have no clue what the apply thing is doing there, im assuming its acting like the Back:apply_to_run function in the src code?
cause thats what triggers the checkered deck aswell
weak depot
yeah, it's triggered at the start of the game
worldly moss
apply is?
weak depot
yeah
it's about the same thing
iirc
so if you want to do something at the start of the game you'd use the apply() function
worldly moss
how would I call it at the start of the game?
like ensuring they're actually selecting my deck and not any others
weak depot
for instance here's something i made that sets all heart suits to wild cards
deck.apply = function(self)
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
for _, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
if card.base.suit == 'Hearts' then
card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_wild, nil, true)
end
end
return true
end
}))
end
presuming they're a part of your selected deck (so like a function within it) the game should do that by itself
worldly moss
idk, this is just kinda what i've had from when I modded this deck straight in to source code
I dont know if the change_suit function works here? I dont even know if im using apply correctly
weak depot
idk, this is just kinda what i've had from when I modded this deck straight in t...
as long as that's in SMODS.Back you should be fine
worldly moss
as long as that's in `SMODS.Back` you should be fine
it is, but it doesnt affect the deck ingame
weak depot
try ipairs() instead of pairs()
worldly moss
this is in the middle of a run, thats why theres like 7 king spades
worldly moss
try `ipairs()` instead of `pairs()`
that worked!!
weak depot
glad to help!!!
worldly moss
thank you!
weak depot
i find generally in modding if you're trying to iterate through a table with a for loop you want ipairs() instead
wintry solar
it entirely depends on the table
ipairs is for indexed tables, pairs is for key-value tables
weak depot
yeah
i dunno i'm a little dumb but i do know that if you're messing with playing cards you're probably gonna want ipairs, i'm not an expert 
arctic lion
programmer art is best art
arctic lion
can anyone figure out why this is firing 4 times at the end of the round?
am i missing an extra check or something, it's always exactly 4 times regardless of triggers or jokers activating
don't worry about the scrappy code it's just so i can see the odds when it prints for debugging
if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.game_over and not context.blueprint then
local rand = pseudorandom('Test_J')
local pOdds = G.GAME.probabilities.normal / currentOdds
print(rand, pOdds)
if rand <= pOdds then
bonus = card.ability.extra.money
if bonus > 0 then return bonus end
end
end

Anyone know what the code is for referencing a gold seal in the text section under the loc_txt in SMODS:Back?
"a deck of {C:attention,T:m_gold}Gold{} cards with {C:attention,T:m_}Gold Seals.",
it's being triggered on the held in hand effect. check context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual and not context.blueprint
arctic lion
it's being triggered on the held in hand effect. check `context.end_of_round and...
ah so it was, good eye thanks
rough furnace
I just stole the check from the wiki
rough furnace
it's not that bad
arctic lion
it's not, i'm the bad one
rough furnace
arctic lion
yeah just need to use it more
zenith sage
i think i saw someone else with this issue earlier today but selling cards is not proc'ing the upgrade localization for a joker
i think i saw that "theres no architecture for it because base game doesnt need it" but like what about campfire?
tidal ice
yeah idk what im doing uh for future reference how would I detect if a played hand has an exact amount of cards
hybrid iris
try looking in the code for square joker
tidal ice
I would do that but idk how to like, extract the game's files
hybrid iris
oh
its as simple as using winrar or 7zip on the game's exe file
the joker code is contained in a file called "card.lua"
tidal ice
got it, for some reason searching up told me that winrar will not work
reddit being dumb I suppose
