[tepid crow]

yeah sounds like an event thing

[pearl bane]

yeah so adding a event in the extra queue does the job

[young dew]

is it possible to get how many times one card will be retriggered?

[pearl bane]

buuuut idk how to pass the card into it

[frosty dock]

'nother new wiki page

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/SMODS.Suit-and-SMODS.Rank

[teal estuary]

we are eating GOOD

[rough furnace]

You should include tprint here (its a balatro function but it'd handy) https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/Utility#debugging

Also thank you for including the assert in the load file example

[frosty dock]

sure lemme do that

[rough furnace]

Wow I didn't know about half these utilities

SMODS.stake_from_index feels like it should return nil if it doesn't exists

[frosty dock]

this way it can still be used to directly index things

nil can't

[rough furnace]

Fair

[frosty dock]

I've realized I did pull a dupe on some already documented util functions

[gritty valley]

@frosty dock u think function patching utils would be useful? It's not like it's hard to do in lua but it would just remove like a tiny bit of boilerplate.

[rough furnace]

Idk it would save like at most 2 lines, and possibly some overhead

[frosty dock]

would it even save lines?

[gritty valley]

Yeah like one, for the function back-reference

[rough furnace]

It could if it auto did the call

But not characters probsbly

[gritty valley]

Definitely more of a small thing lol

Idk if it's too small as a util func

[rough furnace]

I don't think it makes sense

[gritty valley]

Fair

Would've just made the PR if I was fully into it

[rough furnace]

Also I don't think the function could even replace the original very well

It would need a jank pass the table and key

[gritty valley]

Yeah it would still require the direct setting of the original function namespace outside the func most likely

[frosty dock]

could have a ref_table-ref_value approach but that still looks bad

local oldfunc = G.FUNCS.reference
function G.FUNCS.reference(...)
  local ret = oldfunc()
  -- stuff
  return something
end
-----------
patch(G.FUNCS, 'reference', 'after', function(result, ...)
  -- stuff
  return something
end)

would also likely need several different types of patching with different arguments to allow modifying return values and args and whatnot

not worth it

[gritty valley]

True, function patching just has too many dynamics to consider

[frosty dock]

just makes things more confusing because it's nonstandard

[gritty valley]

Maybe you should just make a wiki page on patching functions. So it's easier to understand for new modders. Low priority but I think it would be useful.

[rough furnace]

really util functions should mostly be things that are

• Really complex/need a lot of work to do
• Prone to causing issues that you can help avoid
• done frequently

[gritty valley]

Yeah I think it falls into the last one, but it's hard to capture all use cases

So yeah honestly not worth

[rough furnace]

yeah but something that is extremly common and done in 1 or 2 lines doesn't need a util function

[tidal ice]

ok so I want a consumable card to only be usable when in a blind, how would I do that?

[tepid crow]

create a custom can_use and check whether the player is in a blind

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/SMODS.Language one more page done

(i actually couldn't bother explaining why a certain feature was missing here, so i just sneakily added it in)

[balmy stump]

i didnt think of this at the time but making huge joker slots like 10k or whatever would have made joker stencil too good, so this setup stops that from being possible

[hardy viper]

tru

[tepid crow]

good point actually

[tepid crow]

apparently lua5.1 doesn't have integer division yet?? (only introduced in 5.3)

[tidal ice]

im trying to make an enhancement that causes a card to be destroyed similarly to glass but idk where the glass enhancement's associated code for being destroyed is

i tried to look

actually im just not gonna worry about this

[tepid crow]

state_events.lua:962

[tidal ice]

ok so im making it where a consumable's affect expires after the blind ended but idk how im supposed to do so

like, I cant use context stuff

[stiff locust]

i'd put it in a logic loop with a boolean flag and set the flag to true when the consumable is used
and then set the flag to false in context.end_of_round so it stops there
theres probably a more elegant solution but i think that'll work

[tidal ice]

alright

[remote shell]

"omg wild cards should be immune to debuffs!!"

I can do you one better.

[orchid thunder]

Can I change the color of text on a badge

[tidal ice]

working on refreshments!

I wanna add some kind of detail on the bottom but I'm not sure what to do

[thick panther]

Maybe a shadow for the wine glass?

[tidal ice]

oh true

[vale lake]

does anyone know how smod bypasses localization for modded joker names?

[tidal ice]

which badge are you talking about

[orchid thunder]

I'm doing a rarity badge for a consumable

[tidal ice]

oh then I'm not sure if I know anything about that sorry

[orchid thunder]

But instead of changing the background color I want to change the text color

[orchid thunder]

What badge do you know about

[tidal ice]

the badge for the main mod

[orchid thunder]

I can prob use similar code

[tidal ice]

you may be right

lemme see

here it is in a json file for a mod

[orchid thunder]

Ok il look In steamodded to see how that works

That didn't help but thanks for trying

[tidal ice]

slight update to wine but also the placeholder sprite because its funny

[exotic hedge]

actual slop

[exotic hedge]

What’s this for btw? Looks interesting

[tidal ice]

Refreshment consumable cards

they may typically be ones with temporary effects but im considering changing that

[stiff locust]

water bottle

all played cards are scored

[tidal ice]

true

[exotic hedge]

what would Wine be?

[tidal ice]

+4 discards

[stiff locust]

+1 wine (must have room)

[exotic hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/slideshow-powerpoint-tyler-the-creator-caca-zaza-gif-27230006

That’s a lotta discards

[tidal ice]

its only for one round so its not THAT good

[thick panther]

Hydra card that just adds 2 negative copies of itself. Doesnt do anything else

[exotic hedge]

Would this be its own separate consumable type or what

[tidal ice]

but it can get you out of a tough spot

[tidal ice]

yeah

[exotic hedge]

What other ones do you have?

[tidal ice]

milk - +3 hands
bread sticks - blind is reduced by 25%

those are the ones thats coded so far anyways

[exotic hedge]

is there like a theme behind them or is it just bread sticks

Like I can see wine being discards in this case bc it’s red

[thick panther]

Maybe wine can also be -1 hand size as a trade off? +4 hands seems OP

[exotic hedge]

is there any theming like that for the other ones?

[tidal ice]

oh this is a similar thing to Statement cards god dammit

[stiff locust]

to put it into perspective

there are very similar alchemical cards that give +1 hand and +1 discard for round

+4 is insanely powerful

[tidal ice]

yeah it is I realize

well I do want these to be strong, they are temporary effects after all

but maybe I should dial it down a bit

[exotic hedge]

You could do something like
Wine - Refreshment Card

• +2 Discards, -1 Handsize
  Or
• +2 Discards, -1 Hand, something like that

There should be a trade-off

Or +3 discards

[coral grotto]

this is theoretically infinite money

[shell tangle]

Sell value of $10, decreases sell value of all other Jokers by $1 when sold? Kinda came to mind from the idea of repeatedly cutting off heads and getting more exhausted over time.

[gaunt thistle]

smart

I feel like that fits thematically, but no idea on how that balances.

[polar grotto]

I wanna make some custom joker art

I have a really cool idea

Can someone give me a png?

[placid frigate]

where do I found the source code for the legendary jokers

never mind in the code it's Caino instead of Canio

[placid frigate]

So when I use my Joker all the messages work but the Xmult doesn't actually apply to the score. what would be causing this to happend?

[teal estuary]

can we see the code? its usually forgetting the right _mod in the return AFIAK

[wooden nexus]

Decided I'd start a new chapter in my modding journey

Crimson's Ultimate Card Collection became ShinkuLib, and now I'm using it along with your usual collection and make Shinku's Card Binder

Honestly, a cleaner name than well..

Y'know the acronym

Any Ideas I get are gonna be thrown against the wall here in the binder

[wooden nexus]

Goofy stuffs

[tidal ice]

I'm using FearJoker's lovely patches (with permission) to be able to have consumables that stay for a while to have temporary effects
I have calculate code that perfectly destroys a card after the round is over, but this isnt retriggering any cards

any help?

[tidal ice]

what are these btw are they decks???

[wooden nexus]

Enhancements

[tidal ice]

the -1 ante enchantment is insane

[wooden nexus]

I'm not trying to go for balanced. I'm going for learning how to make stuff

[tidal ice]

ah yeah that makes sense

I need to try and make some enchantments myself eventually haha

[wooden nexus]

So the card binder's gonna be full of wacky stuff. Think Cryptid and Almanac but me learning how to do stuff

I may change it to something like 1 in 2 chance to do +1 ante or -1 ante

[tidal ice]

im fucking stupid

[long gust]

it's just a burning memory

[wooden nexus]

?

But yeah, while stuff like Tier 3 vouchers will be in ShinkuLib, things like my Extreme Decks and whatnot will be in this card binder mod

Had a cursed thought:

What if you tried to Ortalab the Ortalab cards without reference of Balatro?

It's like Google Translating over and over

I may be making stuff with stuff from ShinkuLib down the line so...

Idk if i'll make it a dependency or one of those "If Mod Loads" atm

But safe than sorry, Gonna be dependency

[gritty valley]

Is there any way to make cards in hand give chips?

What the fuck

[obsidian jungle]

Can I dm anyone in regards to modding. Got some questions about injecting. That's all.

[hardy viper]

generally you can ask in this channel but a dm is fine

[rough furnace]

I'm generally against DM support. It requires one on one interaction which can get annoting as the person giving support if you don't know how to do something or have to leave or whatever and now they aren't getting support. Also since others can see the coversation it means that the knowledge isn't he shared so people reading the channel don't gain that knowledge, aren't able to correct mistakes and also can't take over support if the original helper can't follow up

[gritty valley]

Made a PR for this, someone lemme know if that was unnecessary

[wintry solar]

Does lovely 0.6 allow multi line targeting without using regex?

[gritty valley]

Yeah just use toml's multiline strings

Or do you mean patching mutliple lines with one pattern

[wintry solar]

Patterns only looked for single lines unless they were regex patterns

[gritty valley]

Yeah I'm not sure then

[wintry solar]

I mean, does your PR actually patch or not?

Because you have a multi line pattern

[gritty valley]

Yes

[wintry solar]

Neat

[rough furnace]

mayhaps?

#💻・modding-dev message

I never got a response

[wintry solar]

That would be amazing if it does

[obsidian jungle]

Ah it's usually because its some basic questions and I dont wanna flood this channel with small basic questions.

[wintry solar]

No longer have to spend ages figuring out the exact regex string to match the specific area

[karmic kelp]

where does the game determine the hand type of the hand played?

[rough furnace]

theres nothing wrong with usign this channel for that

[obsidian jungle]

Just dont have the best experience asking basic questions in some servers

[frosty dock]

we don't judge (except jokingly)

[wintry solar]

Or if you are a filthy pirate man

[obsidian jungle]

Fair enough

[frosty dock]

Also others might have the same questions and can find the answers too sometime later

[karmic kelp]

heck it'll help me, since I anticipate I'm going to need to patch the hand type evaluation stuff

but I'm not quite there yet so I can just keep a reference to this convo

[obsidian jungle]

I tried to mod an unity game, that was a pain

Now gonna try this first

got the metadata working now gotta figure out how to make the mod itself

[frosty dock]

I assume you already found the docs then?

[obsidian jungle]

Yep!

[frosty dock]

great

[gaunt thistle]

I have an idea on how to implement it, but multiline patterns aren't a thing as of 0.6.0

Also I didn't realize that you were asking about that in particular

[rough furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/are-you-sure-about-that-gif-17735709754501735355

[gaunt thistle]

I swear it's not

[rough furnace]

try the patch

[hardy viper]

[rough furnace]

me defining a new variable in lua

[frosty dock]

I thought it worked tbh

[hardy viper]

real

[gaunt thistle]

last I checked the pattern patch is checked per line

[hardy viper]

local i, flag = 1 ❤️

[gaunt thistle]

maybe that changed

[rough furnace]

it was last I checked too

before that guy asked

[rough furnace]

What are you trying to do?

[frosty dock]

what's PR #68 got to say about that?

[karmic kelp]

two currently drafted ideas
a card enhancement that makes a card act as the most advantageous rank
a joker that adds a wild 5 to all (or only some) hand evaluations

[gaunt thistle]

alright

well I misremembered

[karmic kelp]

all I know is I need to look at how it works to even see how possible those ideas are

[rough furnace]

oh so since beta7

[gaunt thistle]

I've been keeping you guys in the dark because I like to see suffering

(I legitimately forgot)

[frosty dock]

iirc there's been some kinds of implementations of the former, but they didn't support custom ranks

[gaunt thistle]

@crisp coral you'll never guess what just happened

[frosty dock]

so there's no fully functional implementation of that yet afaik

[karmic kelp]

I'm fine with it only counting the standard 13 ranks, since the theming is around there anyway

[rough furnace]

you may be able to get away with hyjacking the evaluate functions in SMODS.PokerHand's

not too familar with the hand evaluation system

[frosty dock]

I should try to make quantum ranks work again, haven't even tried in a while

[rough furnace]

oh yeah you could jsut hook get_id

I forgor it was a function

the wild 5 one could probably just add it to the played cards array and let the game caluclate it

[frosty dock]

not really, that doesn't let you support multiple ranks on one card

[rough furnace]

true

[mellow sable]

I could help after wrapping up quantum enhancements

[rough furnace]

but you coudl look at the played hand and figure out the most useful rank

[frosty dock]

Ideally we don't need to brute force it

[rough furnace]

I mean you could be smart with vanilla hands

[royal ridge]

tried to make quantum ranks before and got stuck on straight calculation

[rough furnace]

straights seem the hardest

[karmic kelp]

ideally it

it'd have to be compatible with modded hands like blackjack, right?

[rough furnace]

it's hard to support modded hands without manually supporting them, having them support you or brute forcing

[karmic kelp]

makes me wonder if brute force would be worth considering for that "ease" of compatibility then

since in theory the performance hit would only occur with quantum ranked cards, right?

[rough furnace]

depends

things start getting tricky with multipel quantum ranks, bigger hand sizes, etc.

[frosty dock]

3 quantum rank cards even at the standard 13 ranks would need 2197 full hand evaluations

[karmic kelp]

hm... I see your point on the need for compatibility then

[tidal edge]

yeesh baboy!

[karmic kelp]

but you could maybe make it so only evaluates hands between the best possible hand and the worst hand already known to be possible? that'd probably do something to reduce the search space

[frosty dock]

straights probably account for a lot of that time, but it's fairly fast to tell something isn't a straight

[mellow sable]

I wonder if there’s some leetcode problem for this that we can yoink the solution of

[rough furnace]

I mean you can always gurantee an x of a kind with x quantum cards

so you can start at that

[nocturne garnet]

what are quantum ranks

or enhancements

or whatever

[rough furnace]

card with any rank

[tepid crow]

like wild cards but for rank instead of suit

[royal ridge]

say a card can be a 3, 4, 5, and 8 simultaneously

[nocturne garnet]

that sounds impossible

[frosty dock]

how "global" would the choice of card be? if there's a combination that makes a straight and one that makes a 3oak, it shouldn't contain both I presume?

[rough furnace]

not impossible

but a lot of work

[frosty dock]

cause otherwise we'd have fake straight flushes and stuff

[royal ridge]

nothing is impossible

[nocturne garnet]

unless we somehow overwrite every vanilla joker that uses ids and force every mod to use some Card:is_id() function or whatever

[tepid crow]

that would almost certainly have to be the case yes

[nocturne garnet]

that would take quite a long time

[royal ridge]

is_id() my beloved 🙏

the conversion will be a joyous day

[mellow sable]

I’m already doing that with enhancements

[frosty dock]

regex my beloved

[tepid crow]

you probably would get very far with a simple regex yeah

[rough furnace]

we already do a bunch of crazy patches

[frosty dock]

Also probably it would be is_rank instead of is_id

[rough furnace]

it's not impossible

[nocturne garnet]

whar are regex patches.....

[frosty dock]

since rank IDs are just in order of registration and don't mean anything

[nocturne garnet]

judging by the Nope! im assuming that it is either something i should know or something really complicated

[gaunt thistle]

cursed

[tepid crow]

congrats, it's both!

[gritty valley]

hahaha both

[rough furnace]

patches that use regex

[nocturne garnet]

ew

[tepid crow]

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

[gaunt thistle]

silence, regex is godliness

[karmic kelp]

incredible power if wielded properly

[nocturne garnet]

has to be mastered for millenia to achieve omnipotence of coding

[hardy viper]

who is this old man

[nocturne garnet]

john balatro regular expression

full name

[hardy viper]

real...

[rough furnace]

relevant https://regexlicensing.org/

[gritty valley]

yeah it's never caused performance issues

[tepid crow]

Stephen Cole Kleene, introduced the concept (of regular expressions) in 1951
annotations mine

[gritty valley]

ever

[wintry solar]

Luna implemented quantum ranks right?

[gaunt thistle]

can't have performance issues if it's written in rust

[gritty valley]

Wasn't it deemed to be too inefficient?

[gritty valley]

Rewrite all of balatro in bevy

[hardy viper]

can we burn his corpse

not in a cremation way

in an at the stake way

[tepid crow]

mandatory https://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454/11400238

[gaunt thistle]

all this complaining, sheesh

fine fine

I'll replace regex with a custom dsl

[hardy viper]

who wants to parse html with regex? i do i do!

[rough furnace]

I wrote a debian control file parser with regex

[karmic kelp]

so I take it I should probably work on the other things I have drafted for my mod for the moment

[gritty valley]

We advance one more step on the clock https://mikehadlow.blogspot.com/2012/05/configuration-complexity-clock.html

[gritty valley]

It's actually not that bad, just a very dense representation of logic. There are tons of resources online to help and it's genuinely an insanely useful tool to have.

[karmic kelp]

oh no I meant in regards to the quantum rank enhancement I wanted to add earlier

[gritty valley]

Oh yeah that's probably not possible

Without being very slow

And/or buggy

[karmic kelp]

the add a 5 to hand evaluation did sound possible though... I just didn't catch where I'd need to hijack/patch

[frosty dock]

without some patches we have in Steamodded that would actually fail horribly

vanilla hand evaluation rejects anything with 6 cards or more

[gritty valley]

lol

[frosty dock]

Also for hand eval you'd probably need for the wild 5 to actually exist and not just be some dummy table

[karmic kelp]

I was mainly thinking of having it adjust what the hand would think it is

like how you can make a flush with wild cards, then lose the wildness due to Vampire, but it still evals as a flush

[tepid crow]

fun read

[karmic kelp]

again though, I still don't know (even roughly) where I'd need to adjust the base game's code, assistance on that front would be appreciated

[tidal ice]

yeah

[hardy viper]

thought jimbo was male

[gritty valley]

Yeah where do you think the liquid came from

[nocturne garnet]

😨

[thick panther]

How do you set the locked text of a joker?

[placid frigate]

What does unlocking the text do

[thick panther]

Do you put the unlocked text in unlock then?

[hardy viper]

iirc it's like when a card shows up in shop and says "purchase this joker to see what it does" (which would be the unlock text)

it's not clear by the code though

[wooden nexus]

So what's wrong here?

I know, other than the fact I have a big if/elseif statement

[gritty valley]

How would I add an info box next to a jokers description that says like "art by _"

[placid frigate]

So if you don’t want the joker to reveal it’s ability you do text {} then unlock

[hardy viper]

if TagSelected (random double between 0 and 1) == (a string) then

that is never true

[tidal edge]

there should be a weird ass mod where all the unlocks are like riddles

[nocturne garnet]

there should be a weird ass mod where all the unlocks are fucked up

#1248287850512781452 :

[wooden nexus]

So how do I get orbital tag to load a proper hand?

[tidal edge]

no like where all of the unlock texts are like

[hardy viper]

you make tagselected the actual tag you selected and not the random number

[tidal edge]

weird cryptic riddles

to tell you how to unlock them

[karmic kelp]

I may be mistaken, but is it the fact that for the orbital tag, you construct the tag but never actually add it?

instead adding a blank orbital tag later

[wintry solar]

Why aren’t you using pseudorandom_element?

[wooden nexus]

wdym?

I want it to be just balatro tags, if i just use tags it'll grab other modded tags included my own

[wintry solar]

Instead of that god awful if tower

[karmic kelp]

what's the signature for that? didn't know that existed myself

[frosty dock]

you can still just make a list of all the tags you want to include and pass that thru

[wooden nexus]

I just looked at what was in Balatro and the one i found was Certificate's if statement

i can?

[thick panther]

Does this look about right? Im trying to make it look like meat/bacon. Maybe its too pink?

[wooden nexus]

It looks raw

[tidal edge]

what if it wasmore like this

bacon

[wooden nexus]

Looks more cooked

Mind if i try something?

[thick panther]

sure, im open to suggestions

[wooden nexus]

I made it more contrast?

[thick panther]

How much hue did you shift it by?

[wooden nexus]

Maybe you could make the darker colors in red and the lighter in yellow

Something like this

[tidal edge]

that looks delicious

i want to eat that joker

[karmic kelp]

have you tried adding add_tag to line 119?

[nocturne garnet]

its a function that (pseudo)randomly picks an element from a table

instead of using a horrendous if statement, use that

[tidal ice]

its a bit funky lookin but heres Hekikomori

[hot drift]

windows 10

looks nice tho

[wooden nexus]

It works now

[nocturne garnet]

okay it seems i will be cooking today

[tidal edge]

is there by chance going to be a chain linking them

[nocturne garnet]

gee how did you know

[tidal edge]

you cocked though 🔥 , whats its effect

[nocturne garnet]

#🎨・fan-art message

[tidal edge]

also you needd a background right

may i put forward an idea

[thick panther]

How do you modify hand size?

[placid frigate]

what's the difference between h_mult and x_mult

[frosty dock]

h_mult is +mult if card is held in hand

x_mult is.. well, xmult

[placid frigate]

oh so h_mult is for Jokers like The King

[frosty dock]

there is no joker named that

[thick panther]

I found G.GAME.starting_params.hand_size, and tried increasing it, but it didnt seem to work in a deck?

apply = function ()
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({

            func = function ()
                
                -- Increase hand size by 5
                G.GAME.starting_params.hand_size = G.GAME.starting_params.hand_size + 5

                

                return true
            end
        }))
    end,

[placid frigate]

my bad I meant the Baron who has h_mult for every king in hand

[nocturne garnet]

that would be h_x_mult not h_mult

[hot drift]

h_mult is for Shoot the Moon

[frosty dock]

h_x_mult is used by steel cards

[nocturne garnet]

ya

[frosty dock]

baron actually just uses an x_mult return val

[nocturne garnet]

wait what the fuck

h_mult is a thing???

i thought yall were talking about like

card ability's h_mult

you can return it??

i thought it was just like

[placid frigate]

you can just do h_mult by it's self?

[nocturne garnet]

i thought you just needed to return mult

whats the difference between returning h_mult and returning mult??

[placid frigate]

h_mult might just be a shortcut?

[nocturne garnet]

mult is literally shorter than h_mult

[placid frigate]

do you need to return h_mult?

[nocturne garnet]

idfk

[placid frigate]

it might be for cards that only stay in your hand, so they don't count if played wrong, Raised Fist also has it

[placid frigate]

I like the chains

[autumn coral]

q: i am NOT good at spriting, is this acceptable for legendary text or does anyone have any notes or something?

i was looking at how the legendary jokers names are written and trying to emulate it

[thick panther]

Is G.playing_cards the played poker hand or the regular hand?

[maiden phoenix]

crying, i'll have to look for another name now lol 😔

[frosty dock]

ugh

SMODS.Tag:apply arg signature is inconsistent with other functions, it doesn't take self

[wintry solar]

Lots of tag stuff is inconsistent I’ve found

[frosty dock]

yeah

i was just looking at making docs for tags, but this can't really ship

[wintry solar]

I also have no idea what the custom generate ui function was doing other than not handling loc vars properly so I just commented it out in case it was needed

[frosty dock]

it'll break some mods but it's best to have things consistent

any other specific inconsistencies that come to mind?

[nocturne garnet]

Sawry

[wintry solar]

I’m not a massive fan of the way they trigger by requiring the context in the config, I don’t remember if they have a set ability function or not either

[maiden phoenix]

Isn't there's one for orbital tag?

[wintry solar]

It is specifically for orbital tag, yeah

I don’t remember if it is called for every tag or not though

[frosty dock]

hm I haven't actually looked at that commit at all until now - your solution is less than ideal unfortunately, it completely tosses tooltips out the window?

[wintry solar]

Does it? It just uses the base game function to draw the tooltips

[frosty dock]

your loc_vars call just throws a tossaway empty table in as info_queue

I'd rather have some way to pass the Tag into generate_card_ui than taking loc_vars out, it won't work for custom generate_ui functions either

[wintry solar]

Yeah that makes sense

[frosty dock]

which we do have an argument for, I hope passing a Tag into doesn't doesn't break stuff too badly (it shouldn't)

[wintry solar]

well that makes a lot of sense, here I was thinking I'd just forgotten to add my info queue stuff to certain tags but I've actually just clobbered it away 😄

[frosty dock]

aight that's now working properly

while I break Tag:apply, does anything else need breaking 🤔

btw this is why I insist on having proper docs before we're stable

these things always happen

[frosty dock]

that restriction shall be lifted. I can add set_ability as well

[maiden phoenix]

Not really breaking but rather fixing the editions having a white text?

[wintry solar]

enhancements*

[maiden phoenix]

Right mb

[frosty dock]

yeah that should also be fixed. i meant tags specifically

[wintry solar]

when is the set_ability called? will it help with the orbital tag problems that crop up every now and then?

or does it already do that by default?

I don't remember

[frosty dock]

it's called right when calling the constructor

[placid frigate]

How do I get my Joker to say the actual value of the Joker? Right now, when I play a heart card, the adds X_mult goes up instead of the actual value of the Xmult. As shown in the video, it's going up by 1 when it should be going up by .25. It also says the value it goes up is increasing, and the base value (the value it should be adding to x_mult) is nil instead of the base mult. I have no how this happened and no idea how to fix it if someone may help me

said video

[maiden phoenix]

Show your whole joker code

[frosty dock]

alright it's live

PSA: As of Steamodded's latest commit 1216c, a breaking change has been made to tags (apply function signature changed from (tag, context) to (self, tag, context). Until the respective mod authors address this change, all mods that add tags to the game will not work with this version. If you are experiencing crashes due to this, please downgrade Steamodded temporarily.

[maiden phoenix]

1- Your Xmult gain is actually 1 instead of the .25, try swapping those two's values
2- Your loc_vars returns a value that doesn't exists in its config called Xmult_gain, which explains the nil
3- card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + 1 should have the 1 replaced by card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod (or Xmult_gain whichever you end up using)
4- In the return of the calculate function, X_mult_mod should be Xmult_mod instead

[placid frigate]

ok give me a sec to try out these in, I'll be back

[thick panther]

How do you destroy a card in the hand? I tried using SMODS.remove_from_deck, but it crashes with a nil value.

if context.joker_main then
            
            -- Get random card from hand
            local dCard = pseudorandom_element(G.hand.cards, pseudoseed('gluttony'))

            sendTraceMessage(dCard.name, 'TRACE')

            -- Destroy card
            SMODS.remove_from_deck(dCard, false)

            return {
                message = 'Consumed Card',
                colour = G.C.RED
            }

        end

[placid frigate]

what's the difference between X_mult_mod and X_mult_gain, and are they interchangeable?

[maiden phoenix]

No not really they're just variable names if used in extra

It's just that usually people use "Xmult" for the Xmult gained by the joker and "Xmult_mod" for the modification given to Xmult if it's a scaling joker

If the variable names don't match, the returned vars in loc_vars won't find said variable value

[wintry solar]

am I going crazy or does the boss.max on blinds not get used anywhere?

[placid frigate]

So Xmult for the base mult (Baron is 1.5 Xmult) and Xmult_mod is for scaling Jokers (Vampire is 1Xmult then every enhanced card is +.25 Xmult_mod)

[maiden phoenix]

It's just naming convention, call it the_xmult_i_give_to_the_og_xmult if you want lol

[tidal edge]

i cant wait for the Gamblers Card for cryptid compat

lets go gambling!

[wooden nexus]

The normal Tag Cards will be for #1210976027036352582

[tidal edge]

oh K

[placid frigate]

oh true lol, so there aren't any hard coded names for stuff like that?

[wooden nexus]

The random one is #1318248620125851749

[frosty dock]

indeed it is an unused field

[maiden phoenix]

Only inside the extra table yes

[fallen tendon]

ive been thinking

remember ro-balatro

what if i made a remake?

just improved it and such

[wooden nexus]

ro-balatro?

[maiden phoenix]

Sometimes jokers have a self.ability.x_mult defined or something like that, but it's annoying to work with

[maiden phoenix]

The roblox mod

[wooden nexus]

oh

What if we just had one mod that recreates some of the big mods from 0.9X Steamodded that isn't updated

[maiden phoenix]

You mean https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1294115874994651277

[wooden nexus]

oh cool

Gonna have to see what mods they ported already

[wintry solar]

we need to check the context type too now right?

[frosty dock]

yeah

we'll have docs for that shortly

[placid frigate]

IT WORKS NOW THANK YOU

[obsidian jungle]

does anyone know where I can find all these properties?

[maiden phoenix]

Most of them (if not every of them) are in game.lua

[obsidian jungle]

Thank you

[wintry solar]

@frosty dock also should the set_ability be passing self through it too?

[obsidian jungle]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
  func = function()
    if G.GAME.hands_left == 1 then
      print("1 HAND LEFT!!!") 
    end
  end
}))```

Anyone know why this isnt printing anything

[violet void]

[tidal ice]

would you be able to share the rest of the code?

[obsidian jungle]

Thats all the code

and a .json file for the metadata

[tidal ice]

then thats the problem

idk what you're doing

[obsidian jungle]

I have my mod in the mods folder

with that code

[tidal ice]

see if changing self.ability and center.ability to card.ability works

[obsidian jungle]

It gets loaded properly ingame aswel

[tidal ice]

yeah the problem is that the code is only that

[obsidian jungle]

Ah 😭

[tidal ice]

in a json file aswell

[obsidian jungle]

nono

the code is in main.lua

[tidal ice]

ah

[rough furnace]

If you're just running this at the top of your file, the event will be cleared when the run is started

[frosty dock]

it does, but I just noticed it doesn't actually pass through the tag... oops

[wintry solar]

yeah that's what I meant 😂

[obsidian jungle]

Ah, how would I resolve this exactly

[rough furnace]

run it at a later point

probably knowing what your goal is would help with where you want this to run

[obsidian jungle]

Just trying to print smth when I have 1 hand to figure out how stuff works

that's all

[rough furnace]

you can add the prop no_delete = true to your event to keep it around

[tidal ice]

telephone
I should maybe change the rings to a more pleasing color, I may just make it orange or blue

[violet void]

Thanks I tried that but the Joker does not appear at all in the Jokers collection and the mod isn't in the mod list

[tidal edge]

orange would look great

on this bg atleast

[maiden phoenix]

Do you have a header or metadata file? Need one of those to init the mod

[tidal ice]

not sure how to help from here sorry

[rough furnace]

also if you want you can use DebugPlus and then run eval <code> in it's console for messign arounf with stuff

cc @obsidian jungle

[obsidian jungle]

Thank you :)

[violet void]

np thanks for the help

[violet void]

the ModdedVanilla example in Steamodded doesnt have one and it works, I dont have them

[maiden phoenix]

It does actually

I'd recommend reading this https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/Mod-Metadata

Oh you meant that

Its there I had removed it due to message length

[violet void]

Oki

I was looking for a tutorial like that, thanks for sharing the link 😄

[maiden phoenix]

I'd also recommend checking the tutorial videos of this thread https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1307744498360520805

[tidal ice]

you were hella right

[maiden phoenix]

No way Ness' father

[violet void]

that pretty neat

[obsidian jungle]

Quick question, any way to wait in lua, I know that in roblox it's wait()

[maiden phoenix]

Balatro uses delay(x)

[obsidian jungle]

Ah, thank you

[violet void]

Thanks 👏🏽

[nocturne garnet]

I've heard very good things about that thread

[tidal ice]

ok but genuinely that vid helped me a lot

[obsidian jungle]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
  func = function() 
    while true do
      if G.GAME.hands_left == 1 then
        print("1 HAND LEFT!!!") 
      end
      print("Code ran")
      delay(10)
    end
  end
}))```

Tried to add a listener but my delay isnt delaying

[tidal edge]

i wonder if this opinion is unbiased

[maiden phoenix]

I pretty sure this never exits the while loop? also G.E_MANAGER stuff needs to have a return true at the end

[obsidian jungle]

Thats the intention. I want a listener that listens the entire game.

[frosty dock]

events are usually blocking and repeat by themselves

[maiden phoenix]

Pretty sure you'd need to inject in whatever lowers the hand left

[obsidian jungle]

yeee, lemmie test some stuff

[tidal ice]

ok now I have art for all my jokers except the food suit ones which I am totally not gonna procrastinate on

[placid frigate]

OK, till after playing around with it a little more, it turns out that the X_mult and X_mult_mod are switch and renaming design in the extra table, doesn’t fix it

I’ll watch them in the whole code tomorrow again thank you

[maiden phoenix]

Sorry it didn't fix it, hopefully you get it right next time 👍

[placid frigate]

I mean the mod still work’s indented but X_mult modifiers X_mult_mod instead of the other way around

[maiden phoenix]

Oh

[exotic hedge]

Neat art! What are the effects?

[maiden phoenix]

Swap the values in loc_vars maybe

[exotic hedge]

Wait is this the food joker one

[tidal ice]

I think I have a video that displayed all of them gimme a sec

[maiden phoenix]

I'd need to see the modified full code again

[tidal ice]

oh wait I didnt notice you asked for only one of em

x2 chips if hand does not contain face cards or 10s

[exotic hedge]

x2… chips 🤨

[tidal edge]

i see no problemo

xchips is cool

[exotic hedge]

why not just xmult it’s literally the same and maintains the integrity of the game 💔

[violet void]

the vid doesnt use the json but I made it work now (kinda, it crashes on startup lol)

I originally edited the source code directly but it was not optimal for updates. Im trying to adjust with steamodded now, thanks for the suggestions

[tidal ice]

I guess ill change it to xmult

[frosty dock]

new docs just dropped

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/SMODS.Tag

[tidal ice]

actually nvm i need to remind myself to not listen to literally everyone

[tepid crow]

Aura on fire with the steamodded docs

also, wait

isn't Tag a Center?

[frosty dock]

no

[tepid crow]

oh it's not

bet

[frosty dock]

it behaves like a center in certain ways

but it can't actually extend Center because well.. tags just aren't quite centers

[rough furnace]

Tag's are also not cards

when spawned in

[tidal ice]

ok so im tryna make smth that works like Splash and its saying that scoring hand is nil, is there anything I'm missing?

[autumn coral]

card_eval_status_text isn't working for whatever reason?

[frosty dock]

now what's left

• Stake
• Seal
• Challenge
• Sticker
• DollarRow
• DeckSkin

why do we need DollarRow again

[autumn coral]

not sure why it wouldn't work, it does everything the exact way it's programmed, including rolling all of the other cards except for itself, but for some reason, it's so fucked up with eval status 😭

i like barely care honestly it's more of an aesthetic thing at this point

even when it was working it was laggy for some reason which is also hella weird

maybe i should put all of the other logic in an event manager or something?

[tepid crow]

because that code is in G.FUNCS.evaluate_play, not in a Joker's calculate

[tidal ice]

ah

[fallen tendon]

why can i never have anything even slightly basic work when im coding

i cant seem to load files

[violet void]

relatable

[autumn coral]

real

[fallen tendon]

trying to get the left file to load the right one

[autumn coral]

u need to add () to the end of load_file

SMODS.load_file("file")()

[fallen tendon]

why

[autumn coral]

ik it's weird

dude i have no idea

[tepid crow]

it returns as function

[autumn coral]

that's how it works though 😭

[tepid crow]

also do assert(SMODS.load_file("path/to/file.lua"))()

[autumn coral]

that one

[fallen tendon]

ok it sorta works

im starting to remember why i abandoned robalatro in the first place lol

[maiden phoenix]

What's the assert for?

[tepid crow]

try using SMODS.eval_this instead maybe? less chances to mess up, though I don't see any issues at a very quick glance

[tepid crow]

properly error when an issue occurs during loading instead of silently failing

(I'm still not sure why that isn't default behaviour)

[autumn coral]

ooo

i will!

is it literally the same function

[maiden phoenix]

Interesting

[tepid crow]

basically, but formatted better

[autumn coral]

is there anything else i have to change or do i just do the exact same thing

oh nvm i found it in the api

[frosty dock]

it shouldn't silently fail either way since you can't call a nil value, it's just for better debugging behavior if things do go wrong iirc

[autumn coral]

how would it look tho /gen

like where do i add the text

[tepid crow]

these are examples from my own code

  elseif context.ending_shop and not context.repetition and not context.game_over and not context.blueprint and not context.individual then
      -- cannot use return, possibly not supported from this context?
      SMODS.eval_this(card, {message = "+2", colour = G.C.MULT})
  elseif context.selling_card and context.card.area == G.jokers then
      card.ability.extra.mult = 0
      -- cannot use return, possibly not supported from this context?
      SMODS.eval_this(card, {message = localize("k_reset"), colour = G.C.MULT})

[autumn coral]

oh cool thanks

[tepid crow]

I'd argue that returning nil is equivalent to silently failing

[autumn coral]

nyope still nothing???

[frosty dock]

not my point, it will still fail if you try to call it

assert ensures you get proper error messages instead of some 'attempt to call a nil value'

[autumn coral]

weeeeird

[tepid crow]

not my point either, why do I have to ask for the error message

feels like I'm back to coding in C

[autumn coral]

oh

hm

that's not right...

oh lmfao

[frosty dock]

you might have some way of handling not having loaded the file correctly, in which case you can handle that

if I throw you a crash if things go wrong, it's on you to catch it first

[autumn coral]

dude this is so weird wtf

it prints fine to the console, but it will NOT fucking do the eval at all

[tepid crow]

but Lua has exception handling 😭

[wintry solar]

where are you calling this function?

[autumn coral]

does it matter?

it DOES have the card, it just does NOT want to work with me

[frosty dock]

it's common practice in lua to build these sorts of functions in a way where they can be thrown directly into assert

[autumn coral]

this is it grabbing the key of the card in the same logic by instancing itself

i'm just getting pissed off that it isn't doing anything

[wintry solar]

it potentially matters, yes

[autumn coral]

hopw so

/gen

[frosty dock]

this is what load does, and SMODS.load_file is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for it

[autumn coral]

it'

it's not in the card logic, if that's what you're asking

this is separate logic since i'm using a custom function to add a custom button to my card which this is handling

said custom button

[violet void]

    key = "enamored_joker",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Enamored Joker",
        text = {
            "Played cards with",
            "{C:hearts}#2#{} suit give",
            "{C:mult}+#1#{} Mult when scored",
        }
    },
    config = {
        extra = {
            s_mult = 5, 
            suit = 'Hearts'
        }
    },
    rarity = 2,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    atlas = "MyJokers_atlas",
    cost = 7,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    soul_pos = nil,
    order = 3.1,

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return {
            vars = {
                self.ability.extra.s_mult,
                self.ability.extra.suit,
            }
        }
    end,

    calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.other_card:is_suit(self.ability.extra.suit) then
            return {
                mult = self.ability.extra.s_mult,
                card = self
            }
        end
    end
}

I'm trying to understand but the key is very much there

[autumn coral]

literally ALL of the logic on this button works EXCEPT for the eval text and it's pissing me off

like there's no way i have this fucked up

SMODS.eval_this(card, {message = "Nothing to roll!", colour = G.C.RED})

is this not exactly how it's formatted???

[frosty dock]

is this the only joker you're defining?

[wintry solar]

it's almost 100% that your card value isn't actually a card

hence why I asked to see where you call the function

[tepid crow]

I was afraid that that'd be the reason
big sigh

[autumn coral]

ok

[violet void]

local utils = dofile(SMODS.current_mod.path .. "/MyJokers-utils.lua")

-- Create an atlas for cards to use
SMODS.Atlas {
    key = "MyJokers_atlas",

    SMODS.Joker(joker)
end

Yes for now

[autumn coral]

i mean

[frosty dock]

yeah see

[autumn coral]

whatever man i'll just throw it in chat

[frosty dock]

you're not actually returning anything from the file

[autumn coral]

It was written before SMODS converted to lovely meaning there was some annoying boilerplate and overrides when adding a row on the dollar screen.

[frosty dock]

you're calling SMODS.Joker in the file then calling it again on the return value of the file

[autumn coral]

and yes i DO check that this is the card if you see the card.config.center.key

[edgy reef]

Lovely fixes this so just thanos snap it (EXCEPT keep the negaive dollar portion, that's actually good).

[autumn coral]

that literally prints exactly what i expect

i mean

ok hold on

[frosty dock]

aight

Thanks, did this instead

[tepid crow]

triple backtick for an actual full codeblock

[autumn coral]

 local me = nil
            for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if (card == G.jokers.cards[i]) then
                    me = G.jokers.cards[i]
                    break
                end
            end
            print(me.config.center.key)

this also prints j_wrenbind_d4

[frosty dock]

```lua
you_can_make_real_code_blocks_like_this()
```

[violet void]

yes but I got tired of copying pasting that character xD

[tepid crow]

what kind of keyboard do you have haha

the character is top-left for me

[autumn coral]

lowk so pissed off about this not evaluating correctly 😭

it is like. solely aesthetic at this point that has no reason to not be working

i even made it go through all of the jokers in the hand to find itself and then call itself and that did literally exactly the same thing

[violet void]

next to 1 I have \ and |

[tepid crow]

oh fun, those are on the right side of my keyboard

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[autumn coral]

i'll just try SMODS.find_card

[violet void]

I dont even have the character to make "not equals" in lua 😮‍💨

[autumn coral]

oh that's fun

is there LITERALLY no way to make text appear outside of calculate?

istg tarot cards do this ALL the time

time to go look at the actual code ig

ok

i figured it out

[frosty dock]

not entirely sure what to snap, anything still in here that should go?

[autumn coral]

function alert_no_space(card, area)
  G.CONTROLLER.locks.no_space = true
  attention_text({
      scale = 0.9, text = localize('k_no_space_ex'), hold = 0.9, align = 'cm',
      cover = area, cover_padding = 0.1, cover_colour = adjust_alpha(G.C.BLACK, 0.7)
  })
  card:juice_up(0.3, 0.2)
  for i = 1, #area.cards do
    area.cards[i]:juice_up(0.15)
  end
  G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.06*G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED, blockable = false, blocking = false, func = function()
    play_sound('tarot2', 0.76, 0.4);return true end}))
    play_sound('tarot2', 1, 0.4)

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.5*G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED, blockable = false, blocking = false,
    func = function()
      G.CONTROLLER.locks.no_space = nil
    return true end}))
end
``` this is 100% what i need

[tepid crow]

that would make sense seeing that the ` and ~ are on the same key for me 🤣

[violet void]

gosh 🙄

[autumn coral]

technically the function i wanted is attention_text

let's see if it works

fucking hopefully man i want to move onto actually working on today's dice

[frosty dock]

not me with a custom keyboard putting these on the outer column of my right index finger

[autumn coral]

god it's too large fuck

ughhh

[tepid crow]

ooh, fancy!

[maiden phoenix]

You can set a scale in the function parameter

[frosty dock]

it's kind of not in my symbol layer though, i moved it to my diacritics layer because I ran out of space in the other one lmao

i mean ` is kind of a diacritic character right

[edgy reef]

The string.find lines w/ "payout_arg" and anything tied to above_dot_bar

Rest should be fine

[violet void]

Is it possible to decide the order of a new joker? or does it automatically put it after the last

[edgy reef]

I hope

[autumn coral]

i got it to work this just sucks

[maiden phoenix]

The default scale for card_eval_status_text is 0.7 btw

[frosty dock]

they're ordered by when they're loaded, this conveniently groups vanilla and each mod together in the collection

[autumn coral]

no it covered the entire thing

also i can't use card_eval_status_text

[maiden phoenix]

What

[autumn coral]

i had to use attention_text

this happens outside of calculate

[maiden phoenix]

Yea

[autumn coral]

anyway i figured it out

[frosty dock]

there's no* way for you to change this
-# * except with lovely patches

[violet void]

makes sense

altho for my purpose having them next to each other woud've been better

[tidal ice]

is there some kind of lovely patch or smth I grab so my consumables can be kept when taken from a pack

most I can find is cryptid's code cards but idk if I should just take this whole thing

[maiden phoenix]

Yea they use a lovely patch to do that

There's also Pokermon that does it if you need another ref

[frosty dock]

you don't need a lovely patch for that, steamodded supports it

keep_on_use function

[maiden phoenix]

Pretty sure they mean the "reserve" button?

[tidal ice]

oh

[frosty dock]

oh i misread

[tidal ice]

ah whoops

[frosty dock]

so sorry, it's 12am

yeah no that needs a lovely patch

mb

[tidal ice]

alright

im just trying to find what cryptid has

yeah idk where the code is

[autumn coral]

is there a way to make my sound have multiple different values it picks from randomly built-in or do i have to add that myself

[fallen tendon]

so uhhhhh, why cant balatro find the atlas for my consumables?

i made a class that adds the atlas but it really doesn't like me

[frosty dock]

oh, interesting one

when extending the class, it doesn't add any mod prefix

so you'd need to add it manually in this case

[fallen tendon]

what the hell

what even is the prefix for atlases?

[frosty dock]

just the mod prefix

[fallen tendon]

k

that is incredibly weird

[tepid crow]

pretty sure someone brought that up before 🤔

[frosty dock]

i don't see you using SMODS.ConsumableType here but I assume you also have that set up?

[fallen tendon]

oh god i need ot redo the art lol

[frosty dock]

extending SMODS.Consumable is at most for convenience

[fallen tendon]

yes

[frosty dock]

ok good

[fallen tendon]

theres going to be some commmon behaviors between gears

mainly the multi-use system

[frosty dock]

lmao

multi-use is actually properly supported by smods now (this is what i was trying to say above when i misunderstood the question)

[thick panther]

How do I delay the add_joker to when the return message shows up? Currently, it adds the joker right when a hand is played:

if context.joker_main then
            
            -- Copy joker
            add_joker('j_JG_hydra', 'negative', true, true)

            return {
                message = 'Hydra created',
                colour = G.C.FILTER,
                card = card,
                chips_mod = card.ability.extra.addAmnt,
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.addAmnt,
            }

        end

[fallen tendon]

oh btw, is there a way to put a calculate funciton into a class, and then add to that calculate function in objects created from it?

[frosty dock]

yes

[fallen tendon]

how?

[frosty dock]

define a new calculate function on the object and call Class.calculate(self, card, context) inside

[fallen tendon]

ok

makes sense

[tepid crow]

nevermind, that was stake prefixes not attempting to prefix the key #💻・modding-dev message

was that ever fixed? 🤔

[frosty dock]

i don't remember that, but the code (at least in game_object.lua) for stakes was last modified in september

unless I'm misunderstanding the issue though, it's not set to not do prefixes somewhere-?

[tepid crow]

I'll quickly try to create a small example

[autumn coral]

is there an easy way to access all of the registered global sounds for my mod?

actually nvm i like what i have

[frosty dock]

oh nvm i see what that is

the way above_stake tries to get the stake it needs is weird

your solution actually prevented the mod prefix from being applied because it already existed, so that part does nothing. only prefixing above_stake was ever needed

there's probably a better solution to that

[wintry solar]

I think I made it not prefix it so you can put it above other mod's stakes

but we can probably add an extra flag in there for that situaton right?

[frosty dock]

nothing prefix_config can't solve

[tepid crow]

should probably be done using prefix_config yeah

[frosty dock]

also gonna failsafe the crash by making sure the stake actually exists

[tepid crow]

understandable errors are always nice

[fallen tendon]

yay i love bringing back all my balatro modding rage

testing your changes, only to realize you never hit save

[autumn coral]

real

[fallen tendon]

also anytime you make changes having to fix 7 different syntax errors

[frosty dock]

also what's with applied_stakes while we're breaking stuff

it has the same behavior of just adding the class prefix

[tepid crow]

uhhh hold on

[frosty dock]

also throw prefix_config on it?

[tepid crow]

oh same issue as above_stake?

yeah same solution

[wintry solar]

yeah

[tepid crow]

something something consistency

[frosty dock]

yep, it's another change of default behavior, but better to do it now than never

this is why we should have done more docs much sooner, this wouldn't go unnoticed as much

[tepid crow]

I realised this later too haha

I guess changing the above_stake to include the mod prefix would've also worked
#💻・modding-dev message

[tepid crow]

appreciate it 👍

[thick panther]

Is there a way to retrigger each played card x amount of times? Basically blueprint, but greater than 1 time.

[rough furnace]

did you document deck skins btw?

noticed earlier they had no docs

[fallen tendon]

i think im doing it wrong

[tepid crow]

are you talking about playing cards and do you mean hanging chad,
or are you talking about blueprint and do you mean jokers
?

[fallen tendon]

unless manipulating values that are direct entries in the joker table is somehow forbidden

because said values are not going down

at all

[tepid crow]

you probably shouldn't be doing both : and passing self

[fallen tendon]

ok

[tepid crow]

use . instead

or self:

[frosty dock]

yeah you don't want to pass SMODS.Gear as the first arg here

[thick panther]

Yeah, like how Hanging Chad works, but with all cards in the played poker hand.

[fallen tendon]

looks like its both the former and the latter

[frosty dock]

also this self is the prototype, not the card. even card.currentuses won't save properly, so you should have it on card.ability

[fallen tendon]

sorry

my brain isnt working too well

[frosty dock]

you can have a config var in extra to be sure, or safeguard with or 0

[tepid crow]

try looking at the basegame code for hanging chad and e.g. seltzer, and https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/main/example_mods/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

[edgy reef]

[fallen tendon]

well thats fun

offending line

[frosty dock]

kk

[fallen tendon]

and my config

[frosty dock]

is this the default use function and how are you calling it?

[frosty dock]

okay actually there's one more, i forgot about unlocked_stake

[fallen tendon]

yeah, default

also omg galdur really should just be base steamodded

i cannot beleive i have lived without it for so long

decks and stakes are so effortless

[frosty dock]

uh now you removed both self and :

you need SMODS.Gear.use(self, card, area, copier)

[tepid crow]

oop

[frosty dock]

speaking of galdur, these stake changes might break it a little bit

[fallen tendon]

sad

[tepid crow]

really?

[fallen tendon]

YES IT WORKS

thanks so much!!!!

[wintry solar]

I don't think they should do

[frosty dock]

there's some places where it uses applied_stakes being prefixed the way it currently is

[wintry solar]

oh

I'll take a look

[frosty dock]

lines 410, 663, 994 in galdur.lua, that looks to be all though

[wintry solar]

it might break the save stickers though

[frosty dock]

the actual keys don't change

they're just stored with all prefixes

[wintry solar]

oh true

aure your line numbers are outdated D:

but I can see where you mean

[frosty dock]

too bad so sad

i should update galdur

[thick panther]

Can you have multiple returns for a Joker in different contexts?

[frosty dock]

anyways there's actually 3 different prefix_config options just for stakes now

should there be some umbrella option that covers as a default for all of them?

[thick panther]

Like a return in context.repetition and one in context.joker_main?

[rough furnace]

yeah you can return in an if statment

[wintry solar]

is there a reason you would want to use one but not the others?

[tepid crow]

pretty sure that update was specifically for a compat change with cardsleeves so if you're not using that you don't need the update 😅

[wintry solar]

it justs needs the 'stake_' .. bit removing right?

it might be the memory leak fix too

[frosty dock]

you could need to refer to a vanilla stake in one place but not another, so there's reason for it to be separate

[frosty dock]

yep

[wintry solar]

cool

I suppose I should probably update it to a json manifest too

[frosty dock]

you might have one of these

not sure how useful a unified default option gets in the general case tbh

[autumn coral]

how do i get my config to actually, like, save

😭

i have it working but i can't figure out how to make it save the values

it just reverts when i open it again

[tepid crow]

are you looking at the right location btw?

[autumn coral]

sobs

[frosty dock]

oh not that config

[autumn coral]

whar

[frosty dock]

don't mind me

[autumn coral]

oh nw

this ui shit is a HEADACHE

tbh this is at the bottom of my list of shit i'm focusing on rn with this mod

god speaking of which i should start an actual github repo

[frosty dock]

usually this works fine for saving once you exit the mods page, given you're writing to your mod's config table

[frosty dock]

I'll push it up without such a feature, if anything breaks it's because this is a breaking change, I'll be off to bed xd

[autumn coral]

i tried that

the first thing u said

anyway i'm fuggin hungry

not that like. anyone asked

[wintry solar]

how are you referencing your config file?

[tepid crow]

and are you using the custom tab or the config_tab? 🤔

[autumn coral]

um

[wooden nexus]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1265883701276053596/1318350667345297509/2024-12-16_17-53-48.mp4

[autumn coral]

i based it on cryptid tbh

[wooden nexus]

Got Ortalab editions working with Aurinko

[autumn coral]

is it not just. a config.lua file

or am i stupid?

[frosty dock]

@mellow sable this might also break cryptid fyi

[mellow sable]

ok

[autumn coral]

i call Wrenbind_config = SMODS.current_mod.config at the top of the file

[frosty dock]

though not majorly i don't think. it shouldn't try to double prefix applied stakes

[wintry solar]

it doesn't seem to break galdur

[frosty dock]

not surprised if it only breaks pink stake

[autumn coral]

i'm not saying it's impossible i fucked it up i just dunno what i did wrong? i have ref table and ref value

[frosty dock]

and the rest of the stakes are fine once that's changed

[wintry solar]

let me try with cryptid stakes

[autumn coral]

is the config ref_table not just the config itself?

or should it be the key?

like this is my config file ```
return {
["IsaacSaveFileNum"] = 1,
["IsaacVersion"] = "Repentance+"
}

[wintry solar]

ref_table should be Wrenbind_config assuming you don't nest tables

[autumn coral]

i didn't

i don't know why this isn't working

[wintry solar]

it could be because you aren't using the config tab

[autumn coral]

OH WAIT

i figured it out i think

[fallen tendon]

is there a better way to identify a card's enhancement than ability.name?

[wintry solar]

card.config.center_key

[frosty dock]

card.config.center_key

[autumn coral]

nope nvm

[fallen tendon]

and tthats just the m_key variety?

[sonic bone]

hey gamers, im very new to this so bear with me but is there a way to read the total chips and mult (before jokers) of the played hand inside the calculate function of a joker?

oh no it does break galdur

[autumn coral]

wait

actually

huh

[hidden timber]

current state of the Balatro Mod Manager. Not many changes to see, but a lot of backend-work (stable functionality) was done.

[autumn coral]

no it still doesn't work even without the min and max

so confused

[wooden nexus]

nice

[fallen tendon]

i think a good idea would be to let you save different mod lists that you can install and uninstall

[autumn coral]

ok whatever i'

i'm moving onto other things

lol

[fallen tendon]

i end up being turned away from stuff like dimserene's modpack because i dont know where i can put my current modlist

[fallen tendon]

great!!!!!

also is there a windows verison

[hidden timber]

It will be supported on Linux / Windows / macOS

[fallen tendon]

great

[sonic bone]

any guidance? 🥺

[tepid crow]

are you using SMODS.current_mod.config_tab or not

[autumn coral]

yeah

wait

oh

i'm using extra_tabs

hol up

[tepid crow]

use the config_tab

(cryptid probably does it differently because they want a fancy name for their tab)

[tepid crow]

iirc thats hand_chips and mult?

[sonic bone]

is that inside context?

[exotic hedge]

                    create_option_cycle({
                        label="Choose Your Isaac Save File",
                        ref_table=Wrenbind_config, 
                        ref_value="IsaacSaveFileNum", 
                        options={1,2,3}
                    }),
                }
            }
        end,
    }
} end

SMODS.current_mod.config_tab = wrenbindTabs

is this not right?

[tepid crow]

they would just be globals

[sonic bone]

really?

ok ill try it

[tepid crow]

use the inner tab_definition_function instead

[fallen tendon]

revamped all the card enhancing gears, and made slingshot one of them because oh my god slingshot was just annoying and uninspired and also really really bad

[autumn coral]

wdym

just use that u mean?

[tepid crow]

yeah

[autumn coral]

oh i see it

[tepid crow]

you might also want to use https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/SMODS.config_tab

[autumn coral]

i think i got it

it still isn't saving

😭

[arctic lion]

hmm i've just completed my config implementation and it just ✨ worked ✨

granted mine were only bool values but should be the same concept

[autumn coral]

🤷‍♀️

is this not. exactly this?

SMODS.current_mod.config_tab = function()
    return {
        n=G.UIT.ROOT, config={align = "cm", padding = 0.05, colour = G.C.CLEAR}, 
        nodes={
            create_option_cycle({
                label="Which Version Are You Playing?", 
                ref_table=Wrenbind_config, 
                ref_value="IsaacVersion", 
                options={
                    "Repentance+",
                    "Repentance",
                    "Afterbirth+",
                    "Afterbirth",
                    "Rebirth"
                }
            }),
            create_option_cycle({
                label="Choose Your Isaac Save File",
                ref_table=Wrenbind_config, 
                ref_value="IsaacSaveFileNum", 
                options={1,2,3}
            }),
        }
    }
end

did i fuck up somewhere or am i going insane

[wintry solar]

how are you checking if it saved

[elder vapor]

don't you need to save it in a different func

[autumn coral]

what

😭

[wintry solar]

you don't need a different function

[autumn coral]

i am checking if it saved by going from config to additions and then back

[arctic lion]

epicbossmusic = SMODS.current_mod
epicbossmusic.config_tab = function()
    return {n = G.UIT.ROOT, config = {r = 0.1, align = "cm", padding = 0.1, colour = G.C.BLACK, minw = 7, minh = 2}, nodes = {
        {n = G.UIT.R, config = {align = "cl", padding = 0}, nodes = {
            {n = G.UIT.C, config = { align = "cl", padding = 0.05 }, nodes = {
                create_toggle{ col = true, label = "", scale = 0.85, w = 0, shadow = true, ref_table = epicbossmusic.config, ref_value = "boss_regular_enabled" },
            }},
            {n = G.UIT.C, config = { align = "c", padding = 0 }, nodes = {
                { n = G.UIT.T, config = { text = "Regular Boss Music", scale = 0.5, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT }},
            }},
        }},
}}
end

[autumn coral]

and it reverts back

[arctic lion]

mine's mostly UI guff

[autumn coral]

yeah iunno dude mine's a lot different though

[wintry solar]

you have to press the back button to save it

[autumn coral]

it still doesn't work

on either of them

[arctic lion]

is your ref_table and ref_value is correct it should store it

[autumn coral]

yes

[tepid crow]

doesn't create_option_cycle need a callback to store it's result

[wintry solar]

oh yes that's probably it

[autumn coral]

finally, an answer that isn't "do you know how to program or are you making shit up"

speaking of, what would i even do for that

ig i could just reference the game code

[wintry solar]

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

[autumn coral]

oh

[tepid crow]

eh, we (atleast, I) don't know you and you were doing things different from the wiki, our first questions will definitely be "are you sure you know what you're doing"
