[autumn coral]

oh that killed it

oh no

me makes stupid mistake

[wintry solar]

update smods

[autumn coral]

wait actually all i need is the thing that does the -1

i'm so stupid

[tidal ice]

ok so small problem

spades are considered clubs, I only want diamonds to be considered clubs and spades

[autumn coral]

change the and to an or?

i.e. (suit == spades or suit == clubs)

sorry if this is a shitty suggestion

[tidal ice]

that may actually work

lemme test

[autumn coral]

trust me it will

actually

hm

it should work but let me double check

[tidal ice]

nope

[autumn coral]

yeah

no clue sorry

id idn't even need to do this btw i just called it normally with -1

[wintry solar]

if next(SMODS.find_card('j_dnm_blacktie')) and self.base.suit == 'Diamonds' and (suit == 'Spades' or suit == 'Clubs') then should work

[tidal ice]

oki doki

[autumn coral]

is that not like

what i said

😭

[tidal ice]

its slightly different

[autumn coral]

thats what i meant

OH

the and is there

yeah

that makes sense actually

[gilded narwhal]

Hey can anyone please lmk how I make it so that it updates every blind instead of giving me 16 hands every blind

[frosty dock]

set_ability only gets called when you get the joker

[bold sleet]

?

[frosty dock]

so just reassign to card.ability.extra probs in both calculate and loc_vars

[wintry solar]

thats 10 days behind current build

[frosty dock]

that's a full 10 days out of date

[bold sleet]

god dammit

[gilded narwhal]

And also just general reference because usually the calculate function doesn't override the original, is there a way to change that?

[bold sleet]

Guess I am meant to update it every second

[frosty dock]

it overrides the original so long as you're returning something in the same contexts it uses

context.setting_blind and context.joker_main don't occur together

so that does nothing

[elder vapor]

me waiting for the day smods has auto update capabilities

[gilded narwhal]

I would just remove context.joker_main then?

[frosty dock]

yeah

[bold sleet]

Adquired new

so uh... now what

[frosty dock]

kid named BMM (soon™️):

[wintry solar]

now look at your enhancement

and your problem is gone

[scenic sphinx]

why doesnt it become the right file

[elder vapor]

do you have the extension preview enabled in file explorer?

[tepid crow]

Thats a main.lua.txt file

[elder vapor]

that text file still has .txt at the end which would explain why its a text document

[bold sleet]

So uh...

[scenic sphinx]

yeah ik i named it like that to try to make it a lua but it didnt work

[bold sleet]

Nevermind.

It now works.

[scenic sphinx]

what

[tepid crow]

Go into your windows file explorer options and find that setting

[frosty dock]

kid named vscode:

[faint yacht]

Alternatively, Win+R > rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Options_RunDLL 0 / control.exe folders

[scenic sphinx]

ahh thank you that worked

[tepid crow]

Well I'm not a big fan of telling people "hey, run this code you dont understand in the slightest!"

Mostly because it doesn't actually teach them anything

[scenic sphinx]

all ik is that wont delete system 32 lol

[faint yacht]

Tossing my two cents in with options, take all with a pinch of salt. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[scenic sphinx]

now the question do i open the lua file in something like visual studie or?

[faint yacht]

VSCode or Notepad++ can work. Hell, even basic Notepad will do.

[frosty dock]

(don't use basic notepad)

(you'll have a terrible time)

[scenic sphinx]

(dw ik that)

[tepid crow]

Or (hear me out) the obviously easiest option would be to switch to Arch...
/s

[frosty dock]

arch users when they let everyone know they use arch btw

[faint yacht]

That's such an Archetype.

[frosty dock]

https://tenor.com/view/arch-arch-linux-btw-i-use-arch-btw-monokuma-gif-26738028

[bold sleet]

why it ain't workin'?

[gilded narwhal]

This still just gives 3 hands

[scenic sphinx]

imma throw my blue eyes archetype decj to yo head

[frosty dock]

chip

[bold sleet]

huh?

[frosty dock]

you're defining config.chip

not config.chips

[bold sleet]

me stoopid

[frosty dock]

also it's advisory to always use the card arg's ability table instead of self.config because it allows for card values to be changed

this way it always uses the default value of the prototype

which usually isn't what you want or need

[bold sleet]

i stupid

[tidal ice]

trying to make a Joker that functions like splash, how on earth am I supposed to do that

[elder vapor]

patch in functionality where splash is checked for

pokermon has a joker that behaves like splash (magikarp)

[tidal ice]

ah

[bold sleet]

thing is not doing the thing

[gilded narwhal]

Does the order of this matter?

[frosty dock]

yes

[gilded narwhal]

Damn

[frosty dock]

function params are ordered

[gilded narwhal]

I've been doing it wrong this whole time

Wonderful

[frosty dock]

you're lucky you weren't around for steamodded 0.9.8

SMODS.Joker:new(name, slug, config, spritePos, loc_txt, rarity, cost, unlocked, discovered, blueprint_compat, eternal_compat, effect, atlas, soul_pos)

[wintry solar]

aure, what do you think to building in some way of adding free rerolls to smods? they currently require a patch and I could foresee some clobber if people do it badly

[frosty dock]

i see nothing wrong with that

[wintry solar]

cool, I will get that sorted

after I'm done bashing my head against controllers 🎉

[gilded narwhal]

Okay so this works but also doesn't override the original burglar, it just does the 16 + 3 hands instead of just 16

[frosty dock]

add return {} or something in the calculate

if you don't return anything, it'll keep going into the original code

[dull thorn]

Hey I'm fairly new to all of this modding stuff, but I wanted to make a Joker that functions similar to Spare Trousers, but for Flushes, and all it seems to do when I specify a hand for it to detect is crash the game when that hand is played, so I was wondering if there's some cohesive guide somewhere on how to do stuff like this since the Steammodded Wiki stuff isn't super clear on how any of this works. Or if someone could point me to where the specific joker functions are stored in the source code so I can maybe copy and modify the code for Spare Trousers? Any help is appreciated as I haven't been able to accomplish much aside from making a Joker that either does nothing or just crashes the game a lot in the last few hours.

[gilded narwhal]

Gotcha

[frosty dock]

assuming you already extracted the source code, you can just search for 'Spare Trousers' and you'll find the code quite easily

[gilded narwhal]

OKAY that works good

[dull thorn]

Well I extracted the exe, I was wondering what lua file the jokers were in or if they're somewhere else

[frosty dock]

it's not nicely in one place, joker metadata like cost, rarity, etc. are in game.lua while calculation code is in card.lua

[violet void]

with visual studio code you can do global search

[tidal ice]

I think I understand how to make a joker/consumeable create a Joker, but how to I make it where its only jokers of a specific rarity

[frosty dock]

when adapted to steamodded, it should look something like this

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.before and next(context.poker_hands['Flush']) and not context.blueprint then
    card.ability.mult = card.ability.mult + card.ability.extra
      return {
        message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
        colour = G.C.RED,
        card = card
      }
  end
  if context.joker_main and card.ability.mult > 0 then
    return {
      message = localize{type='variable',key='a_mult',vars={card.ability.mult}},
      mult_mod = card.ability.mult
    }
  end
end

[dull thorn]

Well this looks a lot more complicated than the code I had so clearly I was doing something wrong

[scarlet thorn]

How could I get a # in a joker's description? ive tried escaping it, but it just errors out

[dull thorn]

This does seem to still crash the game, I think it's coming from the + card.ability.extra, unless it's something earlier in my code that's screwing it up

[frosty dock]

this is assuming the same config structure that spare trousers has

[scenic sphinx]

okay so im either really dumb or something but i coppied a template to test something out for my first joker but idk why it doesnt show up (sorry for the bad sc idk how to put it into chat better)

[frosty dock]

if you have a different config, you have to change these accordingly

[dull thorn]

Gotcha

Thanks for your help, this has gotten me much farther already

I changed + card.ability.extra to +2 and it literally works perfectly

Insane, thank you so much

[frosty dock]

you could also add extra = 2 to the config but sure

[dull thorn]

Oh

That's probably smarter huh

[violet void]

                local jokers_to_create = math.min(2, G.jokers.config.card_limit - (#G.jokers.cards + G.GAME.joker_buffer))
                G.GAME.joker_buffer = G.GAME.joker_buffer + jokers_to_create
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function() 
                        for i = 1, jokers_to_create do
                            local card = create_card('Joker', G.jokers, nil, 0, nil, nil, nil, 'rif')
                            card:add_to_deck()
                            G.jokers:emplace(card)
                            card:start_materialize()
                            G.GAME.joker_buffer = 0
                        end
                        return true
                    end}))   
                    card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_plus_joker'), colour = G.C.BLUE}) 
            end```

I found this in riff-raff code, the fourth value in create_card is for the rarity

[frosty dock]

more argument order jank

[tidal ice]

thats what I thought but I wanted to make sure

so is 2 for are jokers

[frosty dock]

that one doesn't work how you think it would

it doesn't actually take a rarity index like elsewhere

it takes a chance roll for a rarity

[tidal ice]

ah

so a 1 would mean a garenteed rare then yeah?

[frosty dock]

yes

anything up to 0.7 is common, above 0.7 but up to 0.95 is uncommon, above 0.95 is rare

[gilded narwhal]

Did I cook here?

[frosty dock]

SMODS.create_card should provide a better system for that tbh

[violet void]

ty for the info

hold on does that mean there's a 5% to get a rare joker in the shop

[frosty dock]

yes

[violet void]

thats awfully low

[autumn coral]

how can i get if the player is currently in a blind without using context

i'm using my custom use() function i added to my "active" jokers lol

i need it to know whether the player is in a blind or not before doing stuff

[frosty dock]

G.GAME.blind.in_blind iirc

[autumn coral]

that's hilarious

thanks

huh

i wonder why that's. not working

😭

[frosty dock]

might need to check G.GAME.blind exists first to be sure, not sure if that's necessary

[autumn coral]

is there something that checks if they're not in the select screen then

select screen or shop

i did do that tho

G.GAME and G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.in_blind just skips it for some reason

WAIT

NEVERMIND

[frosty dock]

where did you put that tho

[autumn coral]

OH MY GOD

NEVERMIND IGNORE ME I'M SO STUPID

I MEANT TO CHECK IF THEY WEREN'T IN A BLIND NOT IF THEY WERE

[frosty dock]

lmao

[autumn coral]

😭

[dull thorn]

Okay so my custom joker is actually working well, the last thing I need is for the flavor text to accurately report the mult amount, and I'm having trouble figuring out how exactly I get that information into the text field

[autumn coral]

#1# and then locvars

i.e. ur loc_txt in the text part will be like

"Has +#1# mult"

#1# will grab the first value in loc_vars which you can set to whatever config variable has that mult

[frosty dock]

see https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/main/example_mods/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua for some examples

[autumn coral]

goddammit i broke the charging again on my jokers

whyyyy

maybe it's bc they're set to 1 rn

yyyup that's probably it

hm

[dull thorn]

Man Google search really is borked, I couldn't find this at all no matter how much searching I did

[wintry solar]

I suppose this'll do

[autumn coral]

my cards hate me

😭

i can't even ask how to fix this it's MY own fucking custom 1/1 gameplay mechanic

dobd

sobs*

OH MY GOD

I FIGURED IT OUT

[scenic sphinx]

ISAAC?

[autumn coral]

yeah!

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1311749402817204284

it's very wip, a lot of cards don't have textures yet, i think i'm onto 10 jokers now?

all of them (gfuel especially) are very high effort

my idea was to make a mod that doesn't feel like just another just like. balatro mod. i wanted it to feel like the binding of isaac had its own place in balatro without thinking inside the smaller box of balatro gameplay loop sorta

anyway my issue was that i forgot to fix all of the init_logic shit to be global when i changed them LMFAO

[scenic sphinx]

insta add lol

[autumn coral]

hehe

thank

i'm working rn on iv bag

it's almost ready

it's basically you trade 1 hand for 0-3 discards

it's only for the round though

ok cool i fixed it!

[scenic sphinx]

thats an awesome idea

[autumn coral]

i'm the only mod that has "active" jokers though to my knowledge

they have charge bars that work with the battery functionality

[scenic sphinx]

if only my mod would show up between the rest cuz idk why that no work

[autumn coral]

make sure its in its own folder

but yeah, this is what it looks like with battery next to it (left is iv bag, right is the battery)

ik it's confusing, i don't really have a better placeholder

unfortunately i'm just 1 person and god decided to make me good at music, which is ironically the one thing in balatro that you can't really replace

not that i didn't try

[wooden nexus]

Playing with the new suit/rank fun

[autumn coral]

i think i need to add a blood bank foley sound though when you use iv bag

i need to remember what iv bag even sounds like

i think it has sound

if it doesn't i need to rember blood machines

oh i found it

[scenic sphinx]

do i need to do more idk what i need more

[autumn coral]

wait what's the folder in?

i meant what's in the folder for it

it should just be the mod stuff

if it crashes btw u might have to disable some other mods

i don't remember if cryptid still crashes it or not 😅

[scenic sphinx]

wdym?

[faint yacht]

...if it's not loading, you don't have a header for Steamodded to read.

[autumn coral]

i do

lol

i promise i do i am literally. playing it right now

😭

[scenic sphinx]

do i need more then this?

[autumn coral]

oh ur mod

[scenic sphinx]

yeah lol

[scenic sphinx]

yeah dw man it works

[autumn coral]

you are missing the end header

----------------------------------------------
------------MOD CODE END----------------------

place this at the bottom of ur file

OJH

WAIT NO I FIGURED IT OUT

sorry this is something they don't really um. tell you

you need to set your atlas to xmpl_Mythos instead inside of your joker

you need the prefix

and also that bottom end header if you don't have it already

[violet void]

thats why mine wasnt working 🤦🏽‍♂️
in the end I used the json

[autumn coral]

lol

yeah i wasn't sure either

btw dw @scenic sphinx literally nobody told me for like 4 hours why shit wasn't working until i found out about prefixes

[faint yacht]

Weird, I don't have that for mine and I'm still using the legacy header... and my mod still loads just fine.

[wintry solar]

you dont need that block

you dont need to prefix your atlases

[autumn coral]

oh

wait what

ok then i have no idea

lmfao

is it the inconsistent space for "STEAMMODDED HEADER"?

[faint yacht]

May be.

[autumn coral]

oh

it so it

is*

@scenic sphinx change line 1 to be --- STEAMODDED HEADER

[scenic sphinx]

huh i dont get it lol

[autumn coral]

that's just another good practice honestly but also if ur gonna add sounds it helps to know about prefixes

[frosty dock]

haha kinda funny people think that's required for some reason

[autumn coral]

or anything remotely advanced past mult lmfao

[autumn coral]

😭

[frosty dock]

it does nothing, steamo just had early example mods that way and it stuck, idk

[scenic sphinx]

oh alright

[autumn coral]

fix the header and let us know

should work

[scenic sphinx]

for now i just want it to show up in the mod list lol

[frosty dock]

i really recommend using json metadata files at this point tho

[wintry solar]

prefixes are kind of managed for you too unless you're doing more technical stuff

[violet void]

I just learnt that now but it seems it was not the case, I still dont know why it wouldn't work lol

[scenic sphinx]

fixed it still doesnt show up

[autumn coral]

no clue then 😅 srry

i'm a very bad teacher when it comes to this kinda stuff

[violet void]

smods says headers is deprecated, might as well use the json too

[autumn coral]

oh?

are they removing it in the next release>?

[wintry solar]

the author must be in square brackets

[autumn coral]

OHHHH

[wintry solar]

but you should use json regardless

[autumn coral]

right ur so right

what does the json metadata file look like then /gen

[violet void]

idk

[autumn coral]

lol

[wintry solar]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[autumn coral]

ok anyway iv bank works

imma push to master lol

[wintry solar]

take this template and fill it in

[autumn coral]

okidoki

what's the um. file name?

oh nevermind

wait is this thing case sensitive?

[scenic sphinx]

do i put it in my header or where do i put it

[autumn coral]

no

make a file in ur directory i think called whatever ur mod file is called.json

for me it's wrenbind.json

[scenic sphinx]

ahh and put that in

[autumn coral]

at least that's what i'm assuming

let's see

yeah

this is what mine looks like

then u can just remove all of ur headers and stuff entirely

just make sure main_file is ur main code file

[violet void]

thats some high priority

[autumn coral]

u should see cryptid's

[violet void]

...lol

[autumn coral]

like i'm not joking her btw the binding of jimbo will be the next cryptid of balatro mods

i'm not planning on making this low-effort, unlike the mod for my friend that i'm doing when he's done spriting LMFAO

this is honestly just a fun project to learn a new language (i was INSANELY new to lua when I started this) and it's been really really fun

also just to like

derust

it's been a while since i've done a big programming project

last one i did was like 5 months ago and i did a fullstack on aws and everything

[wintry solar]

oh you've changed your name

[autumn coral]

oh!

yes i did sorry

😭

my music stuff is under hyperpup so i changed it globally to be hyperpup but my oc is wrench

[violet void]

same here, I knew 0 about lua before

[autumn coral]

speaking of which my pfp is not wrench rn but

that's besides the point

[scenic sphinx]

so this should be okay?

[autumn coral]

remove the comma after dependencies

[violet void]

now i know slightly more than 0

[autumn coral]

shitty documentation writer forgot that you can't have empty commas in json

it's case sensitive

[wintry solar]

you need a badge_colour from what I remember

[autumn coral]

thiiis one right here

[autumn coral]

nope

[wintry solar]

or maybe it defaults

[autumn coral]

it defaults

it's the comma

[scenic sphinx]

yeah dw fixed it

[autumn coral]

kewlll

ok iv bag implemented

time to scour the isaac wiki for a new active item to implement

one of these days i'll do do d6 and ed6 and finally start character decksp

good thing that's not today!

ig i'm streaming dev now lol

[scenic sphinx]

lost should start with the joker that makes sure you dont lose once lol

[autumn coral]

haven't figured out holy mantle yet

i think it'll prevent one blind death per room

maybe?

but like

you'll still have to finish the blind

it'll give u one more hand and discard to try

i think

but also all character decks start with an eternal negative active item based on the ones in isaac

i could do pills rn

hmmm

[scenic sphinx]

whats the forgotten gonna be

[autumn coral]

i'll figure it out

maybe soul shackles or smf

[scenic sphinx]

you start with a negative eternal bone

[autumn coral]

btw if ur a spriter i actually need someone who can do pixel art for jimbo

i'm not very good at anything that isn't typography...

[scenic sphinx]

a yes id call myself one lol

(ik it needs allot of work)

am i stupid? (thats the dependencies that was in the latest cryptid + jen modpack so it should work)

[autumn coral]

god.

dammit.

of course cryptid is my only reference for consumables

😭

[scenic sphinx]

https://github.com/art-muncher/Example-Mod/blob/main/main.lua

this could help idk

[autumn coral]

oh wait ur so right

unfortunately i'm loading stuff like cryptid so it's probably for the better anyway LMFAO

[scenic sphinx]

yeah true

[autumn coral]

was WAY too big for one file

[scenic sphinx]

goodluck actually finding em

[autumn coral]

i did lol

[wintry solar]

you can look at ortalab too

[autumn coral]

you underestimate my power

nah it's alr

i'm using the cryptid loading system

makes more sense anyway

[wintry solar]

I might be slightly biased but it has a better loading system than cryptids

[autumn coral]

shrugs i'm not reprogramming my mod

[scenic sphinx]

ty game modding for making me feel dumb asf

[wintry solar]

"Steamodded (>=1.0.0~ALPHA-1216c)"

[scenic sphinx]

aha ty that worked now the crashes begin

like is aseprite not supported as a file option cuz tf does it mean

[wintry solar]

.aseprite isn't an image file

you need to export it as a png

[scenic sphinx]

ahh

bruh moment

im stupid fr

[bold sleet]

Is there a way to change the value of for example Chips for enhancements?
Like, it gives + chips depending on the number of cards in the deck.

[scenic sphinx]

ah yes another crash i dont get (sorry that im asking so many questions)

[shell condor]

Where can I find a repository of information on how to get started with modding? I might start fiddling with balatro modding on the side, seems fun

[frosty dock]

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

[bold sleet]

Try to read a png, not an aseprite file

[shell condor]

Radical

[wintry solar]

do you have the atlas in the 1x and 2x folder?

[bold sleet]

Balatro probably can't open and read .aseprite files.

[scenic sphinx]

thats already fixed

[wintry solar]

you need to update it in the code too

[scenic sphinx]

yes should it be only in one

[bold sleet]

Doesn't look like it.

[scenic sphinx]

oh yeah makes sense

[scenic sphinx]

yeah sorry mate didnt understand what you meant

[bold sleet]

so help?

[scenic sphinx]

FINALLY IT WORKS

[bold sleet]

congrats

[scenic sphinx]

now only know why i cant open the debugger or just how i do it

[bold sleet]

Debug mode you hold TAB

[scenic sphinx]

thank you

okay so last question for now why doesnt the image show up

[bold sleet]

Can I see the spritesheet?

[bold sleet]

m-hm..?

[wooden nexus]

We deleting suits

[scenic sphinx]

this is it lol just a single thing

[bold sleet]

New suit™️

[wooden nexus]

Guess what time it is... Luigi Picture Poker time

[bold sleet]

no clue, idk what the soul pos thing is, as I don't have it in my jonclers

[dull thorn]

Hey last thing from me, anyone know the easiest way to destroy cards upon playing them, or for the case of what I'm trying to do, destroy a whole hand?

[mystic river]

during context.destroying_card return true

[dull thorn]

Where would I put that in the code exactly

[scenic sphinx]

yeah i think thats for legendery jokers cuz its like an overlay

[mystic river]

in the calculate function
like in my joker i have

        if context.destroying_card and not context.destroying_card.ability.eternal and context.destroying_card:get_id() ~= 7 and pseudorandom('eaten') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra.odds then
            return true
        end

... a lot of ands in there

[mystic river]

yeah soul_pos is the hovery bit; if you don't use that (i.e. your joker is mundane and not hovery) you can leave it out entirely

[scenic sphinx]

yeah deleted it it works now

im very happy everything works

okay not yet

it says it gives me the score and doesnt lol

[autumn coral]

i think i got. pills working?

i'm literally not bothered enough to define them seperately, i'

i'm basically going to just define id-given effects at the start of every run for each id of the pills and save it

oh my god wait this is such a huge project

lmfao

WHAT DOES THIS THING WANT FROM MEEEE

[scenic sphinx]

okay so is there a reason it isnt working like making the chips actually happen

[bold sleet]

a sec...

[scenic sphinx]

take your time lol

[bold sleet]

Here.

I think you can guess what's wrong now.

[scenic sphinx]

put both on card ig

or center

ik they need to be the same

[bold sleet]

I use card.

[scenic sphinx]

alrighty

[bold sleet]

I don't know what center thing is about.

Personal choice, tho.

[scenic sphinx]

it was from a template lol

[bold sleet]

Fair.

[autumn coral]

center gets the card itself

[bold sleet]

I use templates most of the times.

[autumn coral]

GOD

kills steamodded

[bold sleet]

then what is this self or card funny thing

[autumn coral]

i don't even use self bc it has literally never worked

[bold sleet]

Same problem as the other guy, probably.

[autumn coral]

true as fuck probably

[bold sleet]

I use card.

[autumn coral]

anyway center is how the original game refers to it

and i have to use center sometimes

[bold sleet]

ah

[autumn coral]

i.e. with charged jokers, in order to change the position of the current extra atlas drawing the overlay, you have to do self.config.center.pos.extra.x

and also for my custom use() function as well

[bold sleet]

My question still stands: How can you modify a value in an enhancement?

[autumn coral]

oh dude that's above my pay grade i haven't done that shit yet

my shit's too advanced for steamodded half the time 😭

i've had to make so many patches of my own i basically have my own mod engine here

[bold sleet]

I've been tasked with this, tho...

I have no clue how to go about that.

[hardy viper]

in calculate? because self definitely works for the center in there

[autumn coral]

iunno brb

[bold sleet]

My first idea was to get the whole deck (partly for testing purposes), but tht gives out an error when loading because there is no deck.

idk what to do.

jelp

[hardy viper]

it's implicitly given via center:calculate(card, context) so if it isn't working then that's a severe luajit bug

either that or for some reason it's not called as a method

but i highly doubt that

who knows but it should definitely work

[scenic sphinx]

YALL FINNALY

[autumn coral]

no i know it's center:calculate

i don't remember what i was bringing up here

oh u meant in self lmfao

self sometimes is buggy for me sometimes

iunno

[autumn coral]

huge

anyway time to figure out why it says. no atlas

[bold sleet]

Any highly skilled dumbass programmer out there that can solve this for me?

[autumn coral]

itz gonna be something stupid

[wintry solar]

Look at ortalab

[autumn coral]

i would but honestly i'm only interested in my mod 😅

i know that's really shitty but like

[bold sleet]

aw

Eh, fair enough.

[scenic sphinx]

i finally achieved happines

[bold sleet]

Or just a way to do the thing.

[autumn coral]

real

there is no happiness in programming there is only satisfaction

and when shit works it feels better than sex to me

[bold sleet]

When shit works my brain goes "ah, finally. Time to move onto the next thing!"

[autumn coral]

yeah pretty much

willing to bet the reason this doesn't work is bc i left something out from the cryptid code

[scenic sphinx]

sex whats that?

[bold sleet]

but that means you know a solution for my problem

[autumn coral]

no i don't but i'm not stupid unfortunately and could figure it out relatively fast

[bold sleet]

undefined function or variable or something idk

[autumn coral]

i wish i was stupid though

being smart is a fucking burden

meanwhile i guess i'm done being a burnout loser

[scenic sphinx]

all ik is it is the reason i live

[autumn coral]

i figured it out i'm just stupid

[bold sleet]

Nah, you are certainly smarter than me, so don't worry.

U smort

[autumn coral]

i try

[gilded narwhal]

Hey does debugplus give you vouchers?

Or like are you able to get vouchers easily

[hot drift]

Yes

You have to be in a shop

Pressing 3 will add it to the voucher slot

Same thing works with booster packs

[faint yacht]

For the localization file... what's the naming layout for Booster Packs?

[gilded narwhal]

Gotcha

why wont it go away

oh nvm so I think whats happening is it's checking for a boss blind before it actually gets redeemed

That's problematic

[wooden nexus]

Hey all. I got something i wanna try but want your opinions on

#1318248620125851749 message

[twin terrace]

I got this to work today

[dusk shoal]

soooo since the game crashed

im guessing you cant have a gif as an atlas

[scenic sphinx]

tbh idk how does jimball do it

[mellow sable]

cursed balatro images

[golden lake]

spritesheet that rapidly swaps images

[gilded narwhal]

hey does anyone that works with vouchers a lot know how to make a voucher apply a passive effect like this? (gives 1 hand when boss blind is defeated)

[scenic sphinx]

what is that for cursed joker destroy it

[golden lake]

you would never use a gif for an animation in game development

[dusk shoal]

makes sense

now how do that

[scenic sphinx]

ahh makes sense

[twin terrace]

Holo: X.5we lyn adi de oyu ek
(50% of Hologram's text, I think)

[faint yacht]

Shoot, whilst moving stuff from main script to localization file, I forgot the key where I was supposed to put the definition. 💀

[twin terrace]

I find it interesting that Hologram uses the same effect as legendary jokers do

[mellow sable]

yeah I was using the hologram sprite as a test sprite

this isn't a joker I'm adding btw, just testing some Steamodded API I'm working on

the reason why this happens is because ||all the cards act as wild and stone cards... and every other enhancement||

[dusk shoal]

THATS where stencil joker went

[scenic sphinx]

what can i say except i hate it

is just cursed

[shell condor]

does the game store your last played hand for you or do i have to track that myself? asking bc im trying to make a card that works like this

[faint yacht]

Gotta store it yourself.

[shell condor]

can i store it like, agnostic of having the card?

or i suppose it wouldnt matter, since no matter what its starting from zero

[dusk shoal]

how would i like

track/change something every second or so?

i want a card to be animated basically

[autumn coral]

ease event manager

probably?

[dusk shoal]

so its changing the position of the card every second

[dusk shoal]

looks like it !

[gilded narwhal]

bump

[dusk shoal]

actually, it seems better if i made it a function

since its not really an effect of the joker

just how it looks

orrr wait

maybe just an unblockable event

[dreamy kindle]

extremely new to modding and lua in general (sorry) and i have no clue on how to make this both not crash the game on startup and properly work i know its (probably) something to do with functions

[faint yacht]

play_sound needs the string with the mod's prefix in front.

As example, my prefix is toga and the sound I want to play is dorime.ogg with key set as dorime: play_sound('toga_dorime')

[dreamy kindle]

good to know

[dusk shoal]

is delay = an integer or a float

cuz its seconds

so im guessing a float

[karmic kelp]

does lua even let you make that kind of distinction? I thought they only had "number" on offer

[dusk shoal]

wait really? can i just make it 0.5 or whatever then

[karmic kelp]

should be able to yeah

I think in my stuff I've got a mix of 0.1 and 0.2 delays, maybe a 0.4

[faint yacht]

4, 0.4, 4.57e-3, 0.3e12, 5e+20 are all valid numbers for Lua.

[dusk shoal]

kk !

also

      G.E_MANAGER:add_event(idiot_event){     
        blocking = false,
        blockable = false,
        delay = 1,
        pause_force = true,
        no_delete = true,
        trigger = "after",
        func = function()
          if pos == { x = 0, y = 0 } then
            pos = { x = 1, y = 0 }
          else
            pos = { x = 0, y = 0 }
          end
        end,
      },```

this is my ramshackled line of code to try and make it change pictures each second

and obviously the game is crashing on launch

[faint yacht]

Joker, ye?

[dusk shoal]

mhm

error message

[faint yacht]

Atlas has two images for this Joker, yes?

[dusk shoal]

im just using 2 that already exist on the atlas

placeholders

[faint yacht]

In the update function of the Joker, use

card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = math.random(0, 1), y = math.random(0, 1)})

if you really want to change the image every single frame.

[dusk shoal]

NOT every single frame lmao

it was everyyy

im checking

30 one hundredths of a second

or 35 unimportant

though i did use this from the github template and i copied it differently than was shown

event = Event {
    blockable = false,
    blocking = false,
    pause_force = true,
    no_delete = true,
    trigger = "after",
    delay = 5,
    func = function()
        print("Hi mom!")
        event.start_timer = false
    end
}
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(event)```

what it gave

[faint yacht]

The delay implies 5 seconds before the func executes.

[dusk shoal]

yeah no that seems fine, i'll just set it lower

problem is, when i place this into the code, "local event" at the top doesnt actually do anything

[faint yacht]

And it executes once.

[dusk shoal]

and is just an error

once? damn this said it looped

or at least, every 5 seconds

[gilded narwhal]

Would this work? The actual voucher code is pretty much blank but would this have the effect I want it to?

These are in trigger_effect for the deck btw

[faint yacht]

I'm not as well versed in this, so I may be talking out of my ass. Best to relegate this to someone who knows better of events... but you still may find the function I've sent useful regardless.

[dusk shoal]

alright !! thanks for trying at least

this joker does almost nothing helpful and its the most complicated one ive made LMAO

[shell condor]

how would one check which hand type is the highest listed scoring hand type in a played hand?

scoring_name?

im still trying to navigate my way around the documentation

[shell condor]

where can i find the game's localization files? for the life of me i cannot figure out what the localization key is for xmult

[gilded narwhal]

Hey so if I'm not wrong it's not possible to use loc_vars on a blind ownership to replace the description as of now, correct?

Because I'm pretty sure it only accepts vars when on a blind

[dreamy kindle]

i got that prefix junk figured out but i still cant tell when (and how) to fire it off instead of startup when it's nil

[autumn coral]

just do SMODS.Sound:register_global()

it does all of this shit automatically and then all you do is type in your prefix in the file name

also you need to set a prefix in your metadata

my prefix is wrenbind.
i can call literally any sound in my assets/sounds folder by putting in the prefix_name (minus the extension)

i.e. "wrenbind_pills1"

um but

you are doing a lot of things wrong what are you even trying to do here

you know what's causing the crash?

context doesn't exist on a global level

you need to create a joker and then on calculate do

function calculate(self,card,context)
    if (context.poker_hands["full house"]) then
        play_sound("crabrave_fullhouse")
    end
end

[dreamy kindle]

again im very new and i just thought that would work L_L

[autumn coral]

i'd look at the example jokers mod in the steamodded folder

[dreamy kindle]

i'm not making a joker

[autumn coral]

what are you trying to do

[dreamy kindle]

_ _

[autumn coral]

hold on

you need to hook the event for played hands

let me find it

[dreamy kindle]

like you play full house and it goes "the player has... nuuhfullhaus"

[autumn coral]

um

[dreamy kindle]

thats just what it sounds like

[autumn coral]

probably this function evaluate_poker_hand(hand)

you have like

no idea how to do anything with steamodded though

i would start somewhere else

[dreamy kindle]

yeah sorry

[autumn coral]

no it's ok i'm just trying to be helpful

i'd try to make a joker or two first and learn patching before you try something like this /gen

especially if you're not familiar with lua

i threw myself into a huge project head-first but i had some elementary lua experience, even then it helps that i started with jokers. my entire codebase has completely shifted over the course of like. 2 weeks

if you ever need help, there'll be people here to help you, it's just that, yeah, this is a pretty big um. project whether you realize it or not 😭

[dreamy kindle]

ty for telling me this before i tried brute forcing this like a big dummy

[autumn coral]

no that's fair

listen i've been brute forcing shit all week

my entire mod is like. i have to basically invent my own game shit at this point because nothing i want to do is even supported by balatro itself, letalone steamodded or lovely

so i get the feeling

[mystic river]

how do you make a joker retrigger itself
-# and ideally without immediately entering an infinite loop, yes

[dusk shoal]

uhm youre gonna have to specify then

do you want it to retrigger once?

chance based?

[mystic river]

once per each previous joker trigger this hand
i'm basically copying the storm mechanic out of mtg

(legendary joker :v)

[dusk shoal]

right right, well

do you have a way to count how many time each joker has triggered?

[mystic river]

yes, though it isn't counting in the way i'm expecting it to

        if (context.post_trigger and context.other_joker ~= card) then
            card.ability.extra.stormcount = card.ability.extra.stormcount + 1
            sendDebugMessage('[Minty] Storm count: '..card.ability.extra.stormcount)
        end

[dusk shoal]

what exactly is it doing?

[mystic river]

the storm count is increasing higher than i think it should be, but then the joker doesn't retrigger itself
here's the whole calculate actually

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and context.scoring_hand then
            sendDebugMessage('[Minty] Stormy Xmult')
            return {
                message = localize {
                    type = 'variable',
                    key = 'a_xmult',
                    vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult }
                },
                colour = G.C.RED,
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.xmult,
                card = card
            }
        end
        if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card == self and card.ability.extra.stormcount >= 1 then
            sendDebugMessage('[Minty] Stormy repetitions')
            local storm = card.ability.extra.stormcount
            card.ability.extra.stormcount = 0
            return {
                message = localize("k_storm_ex"),
                repetitions = storm,
                card = card,
            }
        end
        if (context.post_trigger and context.other_joker ~= card) then
            card.ability.extra.stormcount = card.ability.extra.stormcount + 1
            sendDebugMessage('[Minty] Storm count: '..card.ability.extra.stormcount)
        end
    end

[dusk shoal]

this may not help at all, but shouldnt the thing that checks for stormcount be BEFORE the thing that uses it ?

i dont know if order matters like that

since its based on when a thing happens

is it sending the repetitions debug message?

[mystic river]

hmm
i'll double-check, but i recall it not triggering xmult at all when that part was below the storm count part

and no, the repetitions debug message is never sending

[dusk shoal]

right, so the main problem is with the if statement then

[mystic river]

yeah
but i copied that context out of cryptid's chad, so in principle it should be right?

[dusk shoal]

as long as the contexts arent cryptid made or something lol

no clue what that mod does, its black magic

[mystic river]

okay, moving the xmult part down didn't change anything at all
and switching to a different joker to test seems to have avoided the issue with the count increasing too fast so i think that's actually an issue with the other joker

[dusk shoal]

i see

if i were you, try isolating the parts of the if statement

like, take 1 part of it out

see if it works

if it does, add the part back and remove a different one

go down the line just brute force bug testing

[tall wharf]

how do i scale up the poker hand text

i tried something in the UI definitions but didn't work

I'll try that again i guess

[shell condor]

stopping for the night bc nasty headache but this is proving to be really fun and a good excuse to learn lua

(the other one doesnt work yet lol)

[mystic river]

hm
disabling context.other_card == self lets it retrigger, but it does it wrong
it goes joker A, joker B (retrigger), Stormy (retrigger twice)
i don't want it to retrigger the other jokers. that's what that check was for. but i still want it to retrigger at all

[dusk shoal]

inter esting

have you tried everything else? or is it only that thats causing a problem

[mystic river]

currently that's the only issue i'm seeing

[dusk shoal]

probably the only problem anyways

yeah

im mostly out of my league here lol but

knowing that thats the problem is helpful

explain to me like im 5 what context.other_card == self is supposed to detect

sometimes saying code outwards helps

[mystic river]

it's supposed to detect which card it's trying to retrigger
since i only want it retriggering itself
in chad it was context.other_card ~= self which is presumably because chad wanted the opposite of that

[dusk shoal]

just to test, what happens when its ~= self ?

as in not itself

[mystic river]

hm, that has the same effect as removing it

which i guess makes sense

[dusk shoal]

so right now, what seems to be the problem, is that when it checks what the "other_card" is its not itself

even when it should be

[mystic river]

hm. sudden hunch. this is going to either fix everything or crash immediately

[dusk shoal]

both options equally awesome

[mystic river]

well! i don't know what i thought self referred to, but i changed it to card and it now works perfectly

though it's echoing Storm! every time and ideally it would only do that once
but eh. that's a minor detail

[dusk shoal]

woohoo ! glad i could help(?)

trying to figure out how to make a joker's image swap between another every second or so, this is what i have so far:

      G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        blockable = false,
        blocking = false,
        pause_force = true,
        no_delete = true,
        trigger = "after",
        delay = 1,
        func = function()
            if pos == { x = 0, y = 0 } then
              pos = { x = 1, y = 0 }
              sendDebugMessage('check1')
            else
              pos = { x = 0, y = 0 }
              sendDebugMessage('check2')
            end
        end
      })),```

its constantly displaying "check2"

so its clearly not switching

but i assume its just not repeating the event

[gilded narwhal]

Hey guys I need help

I'm trying to make it so that a blind's challenge is that every discard costs 3 discards instead of 1

But from what I see the only things that steamodded allows with blinds is stuff like debuffs and things that happen when cards are drawn to hand

Actually hold on

Lemme see if I can get this lovely patch to work

[gilded narwhal]

Nope

Does anyone who knows what they're doing see anything obvious that I'm missing?

Or am I going about this all wrong

[timid parrot]

hey I just installed the latest steamodded and suddenly my mod is no longer being detected properly. Any idea why?

[mystic river]

dependencies format changed

[timid parrot]

ah what to?

[shell tangle]

Something like:

"dependencies": [
  "Steamodded (>=1.0.0~ALPHA-1203b)"
]```

[mystic river]

i forget the exact details but it's on the smods wiki

[analog cypress]

How do I set up a scaling joker?

Currently I'm working with this

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'profren',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Prof. Renderer',
        text = {
            '{X:chips,C:white}+#1#{} Chips per',
            'Spectral Card used this run'
        }
    },
    atlas = "Jokers",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    config = { 
        extra = {
            chips = 10
        }   
    },
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return {vars = {center.ability.extra.chips}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                card = card,
                chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips,
                message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.chips .. ' Chips',
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            }
        end
    end
}

[crisp coral]

the game does not keep track of spectrals used unlike tarots

actually i fucking lied

elseif card.config.center.set == 'Spectral' then G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral = G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral + 1

lmao

[wintry solar]

it tracks all consumables

[analog cypress]

And this I would have to put under context.consumables...? Or is it a different context

[wintry solar]

context.joker_main

just change where you have card.ability.extra.chips to card.ability.extra.chips * G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral

[analog cypress]

Okay so this is what I have so far. Obviously I need to add the current chip count

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'profren',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Prof. Renderer',
        text = {
            '{C:chips}+#1#{} Chips per',
            '{C:attention}Spectral Card{} used this run',
            '(Currently {C:chips}+#2#{})'
        }
    },
    atlas = "Jokers",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    config = { 
        extra = {
            chips = 10
        }   
    },
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return {vars = {center.ability.extra.chips}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                card = card,
                chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips * G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral,
                message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.chips * G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral .. ' Chips',
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            }
        elseif card.config.center.set == 'Spectral' then  G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral = G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral + 1
        end
    end
}

[wintry solar]

oh, put it in the vars return of loc vars too

you don#t need the bit where you're checking for a spectral

that does nothing

[analog cypress]

    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return {vars = {center.ability.extra.chips,center.ability.extra.chips * G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral}}
    end,

Like that?

Edit: not like that, gives an attempt to index a nil value error

And I assume I'd need another context to show that you upgraded your chips upon using a spectral card as well (context.consumables?)

[shell condor]

The good people must know far and wide of the turn based kusoge

[wintry solar]

^

[analog cypress]

After the *, yeah?

Alright, cool. So then for the upgrade text upon using a spectral card, that would be in a different context using similar formatting to context.joker_main? Or is it all in context.joker_main?

Yeah, so is it like, context.consumables or something like that?

Yeah it's easy to miss a comma, I myself got hung up by it until I noticed it

[zenith plover]

now i get a crash because i attempt to call field enhancements [a nil value] surely its another stupid error but i dont know how to fix it

[analog cypress]

 calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                card = card,
                chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips * G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral,
                message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.chips * G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral .. ' Chips',
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            }
        end
        if context.using_consumeable then
            return {
                card = card,
                
            }
        end
    end

I'm getting myself confused about context.using_consumeable after looking at the wiki, does it use the same metadata as context.joker_main or is it just a boolean?

[wintry solar]

you want ```lua
if context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable.config.center.set == 'Spectral' then
-- code to do your message upgrade here
end

[analog cypress]

And inside that code is just the same return {...} as context.joker_main, correct?

[bold sleet]

    if (context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable == "The Wheel of Fortune") or context.reroll_shop then
  -- random bullshit go!
end

jelp, sh*t not working

[royal ridge]

could be context.consumeable.ability.name == "The Wheel of Fortune"

[bold sleet]

Let me check...

Another question: How do I setup a localization file thing?

[zenith plover]

and when i change .Enhancements to .Joker it says bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got string)

[wintry solar]

its SMODS.Enhancement

but also the text of loc_txt should be a table

[frosty dock]

your loc_txt text is meant to be an array of strings

not a string

[analog cypress]

Alright, I'll leave it at there and maybe after the holidays I'll work on it a little more. This is what I've got so far

[zenith plover]

thx that brings me a little further how should i change it so its a table

because i thought i already had them in a table and now im lost

oh wait never mind

[south folio]

Hey guys! I'm new to modding and coding in general, I was wondering how I could make texture packs for balatro, and it seems like i keep having errors, can anyone here help me with it?

^the main folder

[bold sleet]

Help, I'd rather do this sooner than later.

[bold sleet]

. _ _ . _ _ .

[frosty dock]

add "dump_loc": true into your metadata json (or --- DUMP_LOCALIZATION in your file header if you have one and run the game once with no other mods, then remove the flag

rename the default.lua file in your mod's localization folder to en-us.lua and add your strings there with the corresponding keys whenever you add something and remove all your loc_txt

[bold sleet]

Alright.

[south folio]

still having problems with this

I am having this issue where my joker gets triggered when it shouldn't (it should only trigger when a card gets retriggered) and I don't know how to fix it. help me

SMODS.Joker { -- Midspin
  key = 'midspin',
  rarity = 2,
  cost = 6,
  atlas = "adofai-jokers-1",
  pos = { x = 4 , y = 0},

  end
}

[violet void]

missing a boss disabler joker for common rarity now

[nocturne garnet]

"Disables every Blind that is not a Boss Blind"

(literally useless)

[violet void]

does it work like Madness where it disables the boss whether or not a joker is destroyed

[nocturne garnet]

wouldnt that just be a Chicot but better

[violet void]

yes thats why I was wondering, wording should be changed to "if a joker is destroyed, disable boss blind"

or something

[nocturne garnet]

its written like Sacrifical Dagger

[frosty dock]

it's consistent with vanilla wording

[nocturne garnet]

i mean

ceremonial dagger

[frosty dock]

madness is "gain mult and destroy joker"

[violet void]

fair enough, "and disable boss blind" just looked like it happens either way

[frosty dock]

the implied rule is to do the latter only if the former succeeds

you can see this in other places too, e.g. Sixth Sense

If you have two of them, the first one destroys the card and if you still consider the hand to be a single six (even though it's already destroyed), destroying it would fail so no spectral

[nocturne garnet]

and it works with Bunco

[violet void]

That worked, ty

                if not context.blueprint then card.ability.extra.used = true end
                ease_discard(card.ability.extra.d_size)
                card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = "+1 Discard"}, G.C.RED)
            end```

in this case, what if I want to localize "+1 discard" though, how would I add these strings

[frosty dock]

you can put it in misc.dictionary and just put the key through localize, plenty examples of this in vanilla

[drowsy tulip]

i'm trying to draw a card face down, what's my mistake?
draw_card(G.deck,G.hand, 0, "down", true, G.deck[1], 0.07, false, true)

[shell condor]

hey, how would one try to make a card that functions like this? im kinda stumped trying to get the last played card in a usable way, or at all frankly lol

i will try this in a moment and get back to you, thank you so much! in the active of learning both lua and this games codebase so im still learning the limits of what i can and cant do

any help is appreciated

[zenith plover]

how do i make
{C:green}#2#{} in #3#{}
everything green instead of just #2#{} (only way i can come up with is putting the {C:green} in front of every word but there must be a better way)

that works thanks

[drowsy tulip]

please?

didn't work

nope

yeah i was trying to go off of that

it didnt work :9

p sure im already doing that

no it's drawing the cards but face up

ohhhh nvm its supposed to be g.deck.cards

nvm it's still not working what do i do help

[zenith plover]

Where does one find all these definitions?

[teal estuary]

is there anyway to force only a specific chance-based thing to have higher chances? say, if i wanted a joker to always make wheel of fortune always trigger, would that be possible?

[mystic river]

in the balatro source code
just unzip the exe like a zip file and put its contents somewhere convenient to reference

[bold sleet]

How do I prevent a joker from triggering when looking for card retriggers and not joker re-triggers?
(Like, the joker should trigger when a playing card is triggered and not when any given joker is triggered)

[mystic river]

duplicare uses (context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play)

[bold sleet]

huh?

idk

[mystic river]

are you looking for all triggers or only retriggers?

[bold sleet]

Retriggers of cards only.

For some reason it also fires when a joker gets triggered (i.e. upgraded because of x or y reason)

[mystic river]

i would try (context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play) then

[bold sleet]

I'll try it.

Nope.

The joker gets triggered when a joker gets upgraded

Which isn't supposed to happen...

I just need to filter out joker triggers while in the repetition phase thing.

[bold sleet]

so, how do I do jus that?

[mystic river]

i feel like something in here would do it https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/Guide-‐-Joker-Calculation#card-evaluation
but i'm not quite grasping what

[bold sleet]

context.other_card maybe could work, but I don't know what values it can take.

[gilded narwhal]

Bump, I sent this pretty late so not many ppl were awake 😭

[zenith plover]

Ive done that but i get a lot of files none of which seem to have any definitions, might just be blind

What file can i find them in

[mystic river]

most of them

being able to search all the files at once will help

[zenith plover]

And how would i do that?

[bold sleet]

Anyone knows this?

[teal estuary]

could it be something to do with context.repetition_only?

[bold sleet]

Checing, but probably it won't work...

*I still don't know exactly when those contexts become true

[bold sleet]

Now it just does nothing.

[teal estuary]

repetitions is just when repetition happens, repetition.only is related to seals? but i know it can fuck up jokers

[bold sleet]

It does not work, aw

[cold grotto]

how does the naming conventions for take ownership work, the example says 'joker' as an example, but does it mean the name or j_(joker's name)

[bold sleet]

repetition only simply does nothing, or at least when testing it. with my joker™️

[zenith plover]

where can i find the code for the glass card enhancement within source code

[zealous glen]

try searching for "glass" or m_glass

How can alternative localizations for SMODS.Center be given? The Wiki doesn't give any examples of it anymore

[wintry solar]

You’re going to need to lovely patch into evaluate play, jokers don’t have any information for how many times cards trigger

[bold sleet]

me when I don't know how to do that at all

[wintry solar]

Then either go and learn or pick a different effect

[bold sleet]

go learn where

[zealous glen]

reading

[bold sleet]

smooth flat brain

[teal estuary]

its unfixable 😔

[gilded narwhal]

Hey I need some help with some stuff.

How do I make a voucher give a passive effect that activates throughout your run that isn't just increasing some value?

Is there a way to change the description of a blind with take_ownership?

Is there a way for a blind to activate something on discard instead of on played hand? I'm trying to make the water make discards cost 3 discards instead of 1 on T. Red deck

[zenith plover]

when looking for glass, i only get results for glass joker, when looking for m_glass i only get results for challanges

[bold sleet]

Well sh*t then...

[gilded narwhal]

This was the patch I tried to use for the third point

[patches.pattern]
target = 'functions/state_events.lua'
pattern = '''if G.GAME.modifiers.discard_cost then
               ease_dollars(-G.GAME.modifiers.discard_cost)
           end
           ease_discard(-1)'''
position = 'at'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
if G.GAME.modifiers.discard_cost then
       ease_dollars(-G.GAME.modifiers.discard_cost)
end
if G.GAME.selected_back.effect.config.ttr_red and (G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key == bl_water and not G.GAME.blind_disabled) then
   ease_discard(-3)
else
   ease_discard(-1)
end'''```

[zealous glen]

I mean, looking for m_glass also returns game.lua to me

and looking for Glass Card returns card.lua among others

[shell condor]

okay so im dropping the rng chance to retrigger last played card because for the life of me i cant figure it out
i am trying a different gimmick that might be a better nod to the source material and ironically might be easier despite it sounding a lot harder... however, im having a hard time storing the ID of cards (as in, the "10" part of a "10 of Spades") in a readable format for the card logic. context.other_card:get_id() just gives nil so I can't do anything off of that

anyone know a proper way to do that?

for context, this is what im trying to do:

this line appears in the console, but only once, which tells me like, there is a value being stored, but lua doesnt know how to print it out raw so it shows nil. i think thats whats happening because its not constantly reassigning it like the code implies it would

[shell condor]

okay, ive gotten to the point that first_card is assigned to something usable, but the retrigger criteria never activates, nor does the criteria to assign second_card. any advice?

[gilded narwhal]

Hey gang where are all the G.GAME stuff defined?

Or are they just globals that get changed as needed and they aren't really defined anywhere

[frosty dock]

Game:init_game_object()

[gilded narwhal]

Gotcha

I see it

[stiff locust]

oh my god it's you

[shell condor]

yes hello its me

[shell condor]

okay NOW its doing everything except actually retriggering. its printing my debug to say it is is but it is not

[autumn coral]

@mellow sable how did you make it so jokers were selectable for double sided cards?

looking through the buyuse ref isn't showing much

sorry for the sudden ping, you're the only person who's done the exact thing i'm trying to my knowledge

ohhhh

nevermind sorry for bothering 😭

i think i found it

[stiff locust]

it has to be in context.retrigger for the retrigger to work

you're in my domain now
-# i'm not actually that good at this

[shell condor]

yeah i figured it out

im still learning the rules of this codebase

unlike yomi it is very orderly and i cant get away with nonsense

[stiff locust]

there's one rule and it's spelled consumeable internally, not consumable

[shell condor]

amazing

[stiff locust]

that's it

[shell condor]

anyways this rules im so happy i got it working

[stiff locust]

SPLASH

!!

[shell condor]

SPLASH HAS A USECASE LETS GO

[stiff locust]

woah hey you cant

say that

[shell condor]

yeah sorry splash that was mean

[stiff locust]

you want a use case i made a whole mod just for it

fusing splash with every joker

also

[shell condor]

pfft

[stiff locust]

holy shit

yomi hustle balatro mod

[shell condor]

you damn right

[stiff locust]

lemme join your party

[shell condor]

ive got ninja working already, its basically a weaker jimball but slightly different, mostly because Cryptid is a guilty pleasure for me rather than a regular driver

(the joke is redwave spam)

[stiff locust]

so naturally wizard should "spam" chips and mult in an orderly fashion because people think wizard is a projectile zoner

[shell condor]

someone had a really good idea for wiz actually that i currently have NO idea how id do

[stiff locust]

oh rly

[shell condor]

the idea was like Certificate but instead of a seal it adds an enhancement called "Hovering" to a random card

[stiff locust]

what's it do

[gilded narwhal]

lol

[shell condor]

and Hovering cards ignore restrictions like boss blinds that debuff suits

or the pillar

[stiff locust]

oh that's easy

[shell condor]

oh shit real?

[stiff locust]

i could probably do that yeah

[shell condor]

👀 i mean... i wont say no but also tell me the process while youre at it so i can learn

[stiff locust]

okay you're gonna wanna make a mod thread probably

for your mod

[shell condor]

makes sense, gimme a sec

[stiff locust]

and we use github commonly around here

[shell condor]

sure

[stiff locust]

you dont have to use a license but your code has to be open and viewable to others

[shell condor]

yeah that makes sense

gimme 5 minutes then

[stiff locust]

alriight

[gilded narwhal]

Hey guys why doesn't this work?

[stiff locust]

why are you lovely patching it and taking ownership of it

wouldn't you only need to take ownership of it to change how it works?

[zenith plover]

How would i make a enhancement that turns into another enhancement when used, i made like everything and i assume i have to do something in the calculate function but i cant find any examples or documentation of this already being done before

[gilded narwhal]

Well I tried just ownership and it still removed all the discard, so the patch was the only way I was able to remove it's function

Although

Hold on

[karmic kelp]

Is there a checklist to verify if a mod should load or not? A mod I was working on is no longer even showing up in the in-game menu for some reason, and I can't figure out why...

[stiff locust]

i had this issue once

I wish I could say I knew why

but one day it just

stopped happening

so maybe update steamodded, i don't know

[karmic kelp]

I updated it yesterday I think

[stiff locust]

update it again

[karmic kelp]

didn't do it unfortunately

now on 1.0.0~ALPHA-1224b-STEAMODDED

[wintry solar]

Are you using a header or json?

[karmic kelp]

every other mod I've got active (JokerDisplay, Card Sleeves, DebugPlus, Talisman, Drafting, Blueprint, Cryptid) seem to be working

json

does it need a specific name?

[wintry solar]

No

Can you share it?

[karmic kelp]

    "id": "rift_packs",
    "name": "Rift Packs",
    "display_name": "Packs from the Rift",

        }
    ]
}

[wintry solar]

The dependencies are formatted incorrectly

[gilded narwhal]

YES (idk how to change the text because it doesn't work the same way as it does with cards)

Cool or nah

[karmic kelp]

what's invalid about the dependency?

[hardy viper]

"dependencies": [

[karmic kelp]

ah that's why... when I started poking at this they were formatted differently

yup that was it, thanks!

[gilded narwhal]

Hey does anyone know how to change the description of a blind? I've tried loc_vars and that doesn't work

[mystic river]

seems the same as any other item
https://github.com/wingedcatgirl/MintysSillyMod/blob/main/localization/en-us.lua#L50 localization file
https://github.com/wingedcatgirl/MintysSillyMod/blob/39eccfdf1dc3e3e6bb36e50fd259fb90b4198132/blinds/thenip.lua#L3 or loc_txt

... also loc_txt is a different thing from loc_vars

[wintry solar]

You can still use the keys in loc vars

[gilded narwhal]

I mean this doesn't work

Wait is it supposed to be bl_water instead of just water

[karmic kelp]

what do the primary and secondary colors of a pack mean?

[mystic river]

possibly!

i would test that

[gilded narwhal]

Nah that still doesn't work

The reason I don't think it's possible is because normally key is the thing you use to replace the desc

Unless

I do return vars = {key = 'bl_water_red'} or smth like that

[frosty dock]

if I put it like that, it's probably unsupported or I forgot

[shell condor]

how would i make a joker destroy all scored cards of a specific enhancement after scoring has finished?

[teal estuary]

i’d presume take what vampire does, and replace its Xmult function with how you would delete a card

im not sure on the code of it, but i can say that

[shell condor]

right... where can i find how vampire works then

like is there source code available

[teal estuary]

card.lua, search for vampire

[elder vapor]

you have to decompile the source code

its easy

[shell condor]

assumed so, just havent found the method to do it somehow

[teal estuary]

zip up the .exe and then unzip it, i presume theres instructions on steammodded

[elder vapor]

(literally just copy the Balatro.exe, zip it, and unzip it somewhere)

[shell condor]

...seriously?

thats it?
