Man I'm not experienced enough to tap into patches yet 💀

[wicked leaf]

its one file, cant be that bad

[teal estuary]

i jsut delete the existing lovely and steammodded files, and then redownload the new versions?

[shell tangle]

Yeah.

[wicked leaf]

basically

[teal estuary]

cool

ty

[merry raven]

Oh shit Cryptid has a way to increase selection limit
But its source code is also very fucking cryptid, it's not like the documentation that I've read on Steamodded

[teal estuary]

isnt cryptid heavily dependent on talisman/lovely? thats what i've heard, but i've never chanced myself to look at its code

[merry raven]

No idea

[wicked leaf]

I mean

all mods are heavily dependent on Lovely

[teal estuary]

true, true

are those the newest versions of lovely and smods? raisedcateyebrow~2

[shell tangle]

Yeah.

[teal estuary]

hrm

[shell tangle]

1226a means the first update on 12/26 if you haven't noticed that pattern, and lovely doesn't have updates as often, so it's pretty obvious when it's out of date.

[teal estuary]

OOOH

that helps a lot

-# wonder why its still erroring though...

[shell tangle]

Two things, are you testing on a new run, and is it still the same issue with something about seal and nil?

[teal estuary]

GOODLORDWHATISHAPPENINGINTHERE~1

one moment

let me defintely not start testing on a new save
-# but yes, same error

new save, same error

the entire thing raisedcateyebrow~2

[wintry solar]

well what's at that line in state_events

[teal estuary]

lemme

-# wait where is state_events

[wintry solar]

Mods/lovely/dumps/functions

[teal estuary]

ah, ty

im going to presume its related to the fact im using repetition_only? since IIRC that context is related to red seals?

[merry raven]

Yeah fuck it I'm just gonna scrap the idea of my Tangle card's original mechanic and turn it into something else, which do you guys think is better?

• When the tangle card is placed between two cards, it will form a bridge between those two cards' levels. For example, a Tangle card between a 7 and a 5 would make it count as a 6
• When the tangle card is placed between two cards, all three cards will count as the highest level and suit amongst them

[teal estuary]

i like the latter idea more, but both are super cool

[wintry solar]

do effect.seals.repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions

[teal estuary]

testing it

(just to be sure, here)

[wintry solar]

uhhh, put a ```lua
else
effect.seals = {}
end

enhancement calculation is a little scuffed

[teal estuary]

makes sense 😭

just to be sure, like this?

[wintry solar]

can you show the whole block

[teal estuary]

oh sure, mb

[wintry solar]

move it above the end above it

[teal estuary]

thought so, sure

[wintry solar]

need to change the effect.repetitions line again too

[teal estuary]

iooh, okay

testing it now

this error has haunted me for ages, i got it with another joker and had no idea what to do with it 😭

[wintry solar]

uhhh actually this isn't a good way of doing this

hold on lemme have a think

[teal estuary]

sure, take your time mwah~1
i do want to thank you for helping me with this

[wintry solar]

let me write you a quick lovely patch

[merry raven]

What contexts are there for checking the suit and level of a card?
I want to make an if case to check if my Tangle card is between two cards, and checks itself and the two cards to see which has the highest level, and also checks that level's suit

[teal estuary]

wooo, my first lovely patch!

[merry raven]

niiiiiiiice

[teal estuary]

(context.other_card:get_id() == x) and context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts")

obviously you can replace the x and Hearts with whatever you need

[merry raven]

Is there a way to make it more modular

[teal estuary]

presumably? i do not know of it though 😭

i do have code that checks if all 4 suits are currently in a played hand, if that'd help

[merry raven]

Let's see it

[teal estuary]

      local suits = {
        ['Diamonds'] = 0,
        ['Spades'] = 0,
        ['Hearts'] = 0,
        ['Clubs'] = 0,
      }
      local suits_req = {
        ['Diamonds'] = 1,
        ['Spades'] = 1,
        ['Hearts'] = 1,
        ['Clubs'] = 1,
      }
      for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
        if context.scoring_hand[i].ability.name ~= 'Wild Card' and not context.scoring_hand[i].config.center.any_suit then
          for k, v in pairs(suits) do
            if context.scoring_hand[i]:is_suit(k) then
              suits[k] = suits[k] + 1
            end
          end
        end
      end
      if suits['Diamonds'] >= suits_req['Diamonds']
      and suits['Spades'] >= suits_req['Spades']
      and suits['Hearts'] >= suits_req['Hearts']
      and suits['Clubs'] >= suits_req['Clubs'] then
-- do stuff here

[wintry solar]

okay, put this in a lovely.toml in your main folder, and then go back to the effect.repetitons = ....

wait

that's missing a bit, hold on

[teal estuary]

sure

[merry raven]

So for x, that's an integer right? Do Aces, Jacks, Queens and Kings count as ints?
If it is then it'll be a whole lot easier to check for the highest level with math.max

[teal estuary]

A = 14, K = 13, Q = 12, J =11

i have a joker in the works that makes them score their actual values, and not just 10 and 11

-# i just cannot get it to work

[teal estuary]

but yes, they are all ints

[wicked leaf]

if tangle cards are common maybe itd work out

[merry raven]

Tangle cards are Enhancements so they don't have rarities
Do they?

[wicked leaf]

So a tarot card equivalent

[wintry solar]

enhancments never get other_card in contexts

[wicked leaf]

Would work well I think

[wintry solar]

you'll have to manually look at context.scoring_hand

[merry raven]

Guh

[teal estuary]

Fear

im still curious about how it worked fine for you, but my bucket of bolts and botches went "nuh, no work"

[merry raven]

calculate = function(self, card, context, effect)
        if context.cardarea == G.play then
            local left_card, right_card
            for i, playedCard in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if playedCard == card then
                    left_card = context.scoring_hand[i-1]
                    right_card = context.scoring_hand[i+1]
                    break
                end
            end
            if left_card and right_card then
                what the fuck do I put here
    end

I'm at an impasse

[teal estuary]

-# im gonna be banging my head agaisnt this for a while

[teal estuary]

are you doing the average number thing or the highest card thing? raisedcateyebrow~2

[merry raven]

Highest card thing

"When played between two cards, all three cards will be scored as the highest level and its suit."

[teal estuary]

hrm

[wintry solar]

@teal estuary I think I'm actually just going to unscuff enhancement calc if you don't mind waiting till later

[teal estuary]

fine by me :] thank you for this

just ping me or something when its unscuffed mwah~1

ironically, while i wait, im gonna start working on other enhancements for a different mod

[merry raven]

if left_card and right_card then
                local highest_rank = math.max(left_card:get_id(), card:get_id(), right_card:get_id())
                local highest_card
                if left_card:get_id() == highest_rank then
                    highest_card = left_card
                elseif card:get_id() == highest_rank then
                    highest_card = card
                else
                    highest_card = right_card
                end

Guh does this look right to yall

[teal estuary]

it looks right, no idea if it should work though 😭

[merry raven]

Yeah I need to do the calculation part

I don't really know how to approach it, any suggestions?

Or wait, maybe I could just change the suit of the three cards and let calculation happen automatically

Fuck it may be too op if the player keeps using Tangle and they'll eventually turn their whole deck into one suit and one level

[teal estuary]

yeah itrs essenitally just free cryptid/DNA 😭

[merry raven]

💀

[wicked leaf]

brainstorming

(copper shortsword)

[merry raven]

A less OP way of approaching this is to check if left and right cards exist, check the highest level only (no suit modifications), and then add the number of chips x times depending on the number of cards there are (3 cards worth of chips (left + tangle + right), or 2 cards worth if there is no left or right card (tangle + right or left + tangle))

Sound good?

[teal estuary]

that sounds good, yeah

[merry raven]

Which contexts or variables do I use for granting chips again

[teal estuary]

for enhancements? im not sure, theres chip_bonus and bonus that are natively supported

[merry raven]

Natively supported?

[merry raven]

Oh that

[teal estuary]

whuhhhh

[nocturne garnet]

its the card value displays...

[teal estuary]

i realise that now

never knew it did it

[nocturne garnet]

antimatter deck without the cryptid

[wooden nexus]

Antimatter doesn't include the negative effects

mine does

[nocturne garnet]

so basically

[wooden nexus]

Every effect at once

[nocturne garnet]

antimatter deck without cryptid with the bad stuff

[wooden nexus]

i guess?

It's just every balatro deck at once

[merry raven]

calculate = function(self, card, context, effect)
        if context.cardarea == G.play then
            local left_card, right_card
            for i, playedCard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if playedCard == card then
                    left_card = context.scoring_hand[i-1]
                    right_card = context.scoring_hand[i+1]
                    break
                end
            end

            local card_count = 1
            local highest_rank = card:get_id()
            
            if left_card then
                card_count = card_count + 1
                highest_rank = math.max(highest_rank, left_card:get_id())
            end
            if right_card then
                card_count = card_count + 1
                highest_rank = math.max(highest_rank, right_card:get_id())
            end

            if card_count > 1 then
                chips = highest_rank * card_count
            end
        end
    end

Tried my hand at doing this and then realized a fuckup
Unless the Tangle is the highest card, it won't proc its effects if the cards on the sides of it are higher since they get scored and not the Tangle

[storm oar]

does the key for something need to have a prefix to prevent conflicts between mods or does steamodded automatically handle stuff like that?

[wooden nexus]

I still have to get Anaglyphic and plasma deck working

[frosty dock]

steamodded automatically handles prefixes in most* cases
-# * There's some places where the prefix isn't added by default when specifying keys elsewhere, e.g., requires on vouchers

more importantly, when directly interfacing with object tables, creating cards and the like, you need to specify the full key including a class prefix and mod prefix

[wooden nexus]

Ok anaglyph deck has been implemented

Now for plasma

Ok Plasma been added

Fun Fact: I divided 255 by the deck count to get this

in this case 15 to get 17 opacity in Paint.net

[nocturne garnet]

paint.net my beloved

[wooden nexus]

Then I merged them all together and put it back up to 100%

essentially, the average of each pixel in the decks

[tidal ice]

this actually looks very pretty

[wooden nexus]

I need to double check if my calculations are correct later

I think it's correct for the pixelation stuff

[merry raven]

Need some insights here, is the logic correct for proccing the card at least correct when played AND scored? Or is there something I'm missing?

[wooden nexus]

Interesting... same method, different program

[rough furnace]

Oh the message was deleted but https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=92916

For the file picjer

[brisk quartz]

interesting

[wooden nexus]

I'll still use the old one (the right one)

[primal robin]

I found love.filedropped(file), which is enough for me, at least for now

But this also can be useful, thanks

[zenith plover]

does anyone know how i can play the start_disolve animation without destroying the card?

i lovely pathced a card with "Fire" enhancement to have a 1:2 chance to turn into a card with the "Ash" enhancement, but i want the animation to play when it changes instead of just not at all

[rough furnace]

You probably want to use events to play the aninatiin and then and then change its base

I was doing something like this before bit it was kinda messy

Or hmm seems I set some kind of arg to do ot

Idrc

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/JamMod/blob/master/Jokers.lua#L719

[zenith plover]

Yeah, hard part is enhancements are way harder than jokers, there isn't as much you can do without patching

[primal robin]

Now I understand why love.filesystem is bad

[teal estuary]

are retriggers just borked somehow on enhancements? i tried to just make a “this enhancement retriggers this card once”, and it just >:(

doesnt wanna

[zenith plover]

I hate enhancements so much lol

[teal estuary]

they do seem a little iffy

-# and i need to add 93 of them

[zenith plover]

I dont know how you've set it up but you can't use return you need to modify things directly, many contexts are not passed through the same way as jokers. Right now i'm just lovely patching the code for my enhancements that i really cant get to work

[zenith plover]

Oh gosh why do you do this to yourself

[teal estuary]

i had a mod idea and i wont stop till its primarily complete

every metallic element as an enhancement

-# maybe some as editions

[zenith plover]

I have to admit that is really cool

[teal estuary]

ty, its related to my other main mod ever

its a factorio mod, which adds every element

i have a couple ideas for balatro though, like having reactive elements have a chance to destroy themselves + the entire hand played for a big bonus

the more reactive the element, the higher the chance

currently all i have is iron (+5 mult in hand, worse steel), and currently trying to add silver (1 retrigger)

[zenith plover]

Maybe instead of destroy you can make it decay, like it usually would

[teal estuary]

oh this is for things like lithium, francium, caesium, etc - for decaying elements it'll be different

[zenith plover]

Ah

[teal estuary]

an idea im taking over from my actual balatro mod is having radiation be represented by retriggers

so maybe an enhancement can retrigger the entire hand played, and after x amounts of retriggers the card is destroyed

[zenith plover]

Cool

[teal estuary]

(or base it off how strong the radioactive element is, if its a weak/alpha emitting one it can only retrigger the one next to it, if its a gamma emitter/strong it can retrigger the entire hand)

you get the point though trianglepupper~2

[zenith plover]

Create new consumables for all type of particles lol Bèta Alpha and Gamma, base decay chance on half time and give consumables after decay, change card into more stable version (eventually deck will be purely lead)

[teal estuary]

oooh, thats neat

i was thinking about lead

an idea thats floating around is that lead cards cannot be retriggered, but can always be played and are just better in general

im not sure how i'd do that

but im sure its possible clueless

[zenith plover]

im looking at the source code for red seal and repetitions joker

im pretty sure that its possible

[teal estuary]

oh wait really? raisedcateyebrow~2

[storm oar]

is there a way to force a specific voucher so i can test things?

[zenith plover]

yeah take a look at state_events line 664-780

[teal estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/jfk-clone-high-i-like-your-funny-words-magic-man-jack-black-gif-18659433

[proper relic]

Cryptid does it with echo cards so I’m sure it’s possible somehow

[teal estuary]

hrm, ty

[zenith plover]

when in shop go to collection -> vouchers and hit ctrl 3

[zenith plover]

can you send your code

that doesnt work

[teal estuary]

oh, yeah sure

calculate = function(self, card, context, effect)
    if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetiton_only then
        effect.repetitions = card.ability.repetitions
    end
end

i've tried context.repetition and context.repetition and not context.repetition_only

it all just does.. nothing

[zenith plover]

probs doesn'tpass repition to enhancements

patch it into lovely

[teal estuary]

Fear

[zenith plover]

create a file: enhancements.toml

[teal estuary]

sure raisedcateyebrow~2

[zenith plover]

patches add shit to source code this should be in your toml file

[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
dump_lua = true
priority = 1

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'file where the code should be added'
pattern = '''this is where it gets added ({position} this line)'''
position = 'before'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
    this get added
'''

for pattern i would do this local eval = eval_card(scoring_hand[i], {repetition_only = true,cardarea = G.play, full_hand = G.play.cards, scoring_hand = scoring_hand, scoring_name = text, poker_hands = poker_hands, repetition = true})

[wintry solar]

I’m in the process of unscuffing enhancement calcs

[zenith plover]

yay

[wintry solar]

Should be done later this evening when I’ve got more time on my pc

I’d recommend not touching them for now as this will probably be a breaking change

[zenith plover]

position should be after in this case

[teal estuary]

oh, cool
-# i wasnt sure if it'd effect me with anything else i wanted to do, sorry if i seemed impatient mwah~1

[zenith plover]

just no more working on enhancements then?

[wintry solar]

It’ll probably come with some additional contexts too, so if anyone has any requests for where they need calcs that are missing let me know

[wintry solar]

I mean you can work on them, they’ll just need changing again later

[teal estuary]

meh, practice on lovely patches is practice with lovely patches

[zenith plover]

i had a stroke trying to read that

[teal estuary]

-# how did i spell it wrong the same way, twice

[primal robin]

Did anyone work with Balatro music? I'm trying to stop and reload sound file but without success. How to do it properly?

[zenith plover]

yeah thats what i was wondering, did you mean practice?

[teal estuary]

i did

[zenith plover]

i would just look in source code and try shit for the payload man

idk

[teal estuary]

fair enough tbh 😭

these are the only patches i made maybe you can get some help from them

maybe for payload this would work

  for h = 1, scoring_hand[i].ability.repetitions do
    reps[#reps+1] = eval
  end
end```
not entirely sure tho

[teal estuary]

i shall try it, ty

[zenith plover]

tell me how it goes

[teal estuary]

actually, wait, wanna check, does this look good to you?

[zenith plover]

🤦‍♂️ forgot then after if scoring hand[i] thing

my b

[teal estuary]

all good :]

[zenith plover]

indent look quite cursed but don't think that'll change anything

rest looks good

[zenith plover]

i always forget the "then, do and ," started this journey few days ago and been doing python for the grater part of my life

[teal estuary]

oh yeah makes sense, im used to factorio modding which is like an entirely different language compared to this 😭

[zenith plover]

yeah my python experience doesnt help very much either

[zenith plover]

Does this work?

Now i'm invested

[teal estuary]

whoops, on moment

GOODLORDWHATISHAPPENINGINTHERE~1

it did not, but i am fully expecting it to be my own error

[zenith plover]

i think i made a mistake

[wooden nexus]

that's a steel card

[teal estuary]

raisedcateyebrow~2

[wooden nexus]

it looks like one

[teal estuary]

it does, thats why i added the 999. and 100g markings 😭

[wooden nexus]

Then what is it?

[teal estuary]

silver card

[wooden nexus]

oh

[teal estuary]

i wasnt sure what to do with silver apart from "hehehe shiny", and somehow shiny translated into a retrigger

[fallen tendon]

does this look good?

[teal estuary]

does look pretty good, i like it

[fallen tendon]

this is how it looks ingame

[wintry solar]

I think the label looks a bit off

[fallen tendon]

what could make it better?

[wintry solar]

Might work better as a floating sprite

[fallen tendon]

oooooo

[wintry solar]

Or at least the bottom outlines too

[fallen tendon]

lol i forgor how to do that

and for some reason it got thanos snapped off of the smods docs?

[zenith plover]

You might need to add something to the eval_card functions in common_events

[zealous glen]

what do you want to do

[fallen tendon]

make a floating sprite like in the soul

oh its just soul_pos

[zealous glen]

yes

[fallen tendon]

i think they accidentally deleted it from the docs

[rough furnace]

Old DebugPlus detected

[fallen tendon]

how does this look?

now it looks more like a label

[zenith plover]

Sick

I didnt even know soul was different

[teal estuary]

theres a new one?

[rough furnace]

Its updated fairly frewuenekty (I have actial releases now)

[wintry solar]

That looks so much better

[zenith plover]

What changed?

[cinder elk]

ROBLOX

[fallen tendon]

yeah, its a roblox mod

a revival of an old and VERY buggy mod i once made

lol was testing and got a natural straight flush in the first hand

[zealous glen]

How can I test a Balatro shader?

Outside of Balatro, I mean

I remember some websites that could run shaders in the browser, but I never understood how they worked very well

[fallen tendon]

i'm trying to use the cryptid method of supporting stickers on playing cards and i dont know what im doing wrong

help please?

[wintry solar]

You can also test inside balatro using debug plus’s watch command

[zealous glen]

I know I can test them in-game

But I can’t do it live while writing the code

I need to launch the game each time

[zealous glen]

Unless the watch command circumvents that?

[wintry solar]

That’s exactly what it does

[nocturne garnet]

so many wands

[wooden nexus]

it's literally just 2 rn

They're based on the actual ones that are used in the base game's cards

as you can see here

The only thing as of right now is changing the "pentacles" to coins

Less sacrilegious imo

I WOULD do my inverted color one but everyone's been doing that

[rough furnace]

Well assuming you were on the master branch a lot. https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/blob/master/docs/changelog.md#debugplus-100

Sorry wrong thing copied edited

[teal estuary]

ooooh, pretty

kinda look like ripoff spectrals

[wooden nexus]

Well this was during demo era

[cosmic notch]

Stars and moons?

[wooden nexus]

Yeah, made them as a 6-suited concept

which became the sixsuit mod w/ Aure

[teal estuary]

i love the jimbo with 5.. thingies

all the art is nom though

what is the top left one meant to be though?

[zenith plover]

i was on 1.0.0 so ig not very much

[wooden nexus]

a printer

[teal estuary]

ooooooh

makes sense

[wooden nexus]

It's supposed to look like cards being fanned out like the printed gaff cards

[nocturne garnet]

BEAN

bean

[rough furnace]

Why is an other event queue of 0 showing then?

[wooden nexus]

Has anyone done stuff with permanent effects on cards?

[rough furnace]

That shouldn't be possible

On 1.0.0

[wooden nexus]

Stuff like hiker?

how it gives a permanent +chips?

[teal estuary]

i made a mult

version

[wooden nexus]

I was about to say, is it possible to do it for +mult, xmult and money?

but considering you made a mult version, i guess it is

[wooden nexus]

does it majorly break compatibility?

[teal estuary]

uhhhhh, shouldnt do?

-# what would it break

[wooden nexus]

idk

[teal estuary]

but yeah, you can essenitally give them anything

never tried retriggers, that might not work

[wooden nexus]

I don't plan to do retriggers

[teal estuary]

fair enough

but yeah, + and xmult, money

anything that enhancements can give cards, is something a joker can give

[zenith plover]

does anyone how i can split up my main.lua file so that i have multiple files like jokers.lua and decks.lua, with in the main file just some code that says "hey run these files!"

[wintry solar]

assert(SMODS.load_file('path')())

[zenith plover]

and that just does it?

[wintry solar]

yeah

the () might need to be at the end instead, I don't remember

[zenith plover]

are you sure its load_file, my vscode autofills loadfile\

now i dont have the game files opened in here so it might be load_file but idk

NVM figured it out

[wintry solar]

yes

[zenith plover]

yup

[frosty dock]

yeah it should be at the end, otherwise it crashes if the file doesn't return anything and doesn't have useful error logs if it actually failed

[zealous glen]

how do I use it

[wintry solar]

check debug plus wiki

[wicked leaf]

the pain of having to export all my jokers to x2

I can just put the files separately, right? I don't need a spritesheet of all of em?

Spritesheets sound painful when adding new jokers

[zealous glen]

It's easier to convert a spritesheet to 2x

Because you just need to upscale one file

[wicked leaf]

I guess

I'm just scared of jokers getting misaligned in the spritesheet if I make the spritesheet bigger

[teal estuary]

they shouldnt? at all? raisedcateyebrow~2

just make sure its always a multiple of 71 and 95 respectively

[wicked leaf]

aight then

[analog cypress]

Following up. I'm trying to prevent my joker from earning the default amount of chips (currently 50 chips * spectral card usage) by locking the chip bonus down to 0 but I'm getting an arithmetic on nil error

        if context.joker_main then
            local usedspectral = G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral
            local specbonus = card.ability.extra.chips * usedspectral -- this is either 0 or actual multiplied bonus.
           
            if usedspectral == nil then usedspectral = 0 end -- Lock the amount of used spectral cards to 0, not nil
            if specbonus == nil then specbonus = 0 end -- Same thing for this, except for the bonus chips
            
            if specbonus == 0 then return end -- Don't do anything if the bonus equals 0
        else
            return {
                card = card,
                chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips + specbonus,
                message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.chips + specbonus .. ' Chips',
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
              }
        end

[wintry solar]

do local usedspectral = G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total and G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral or 0

that should fix the problem

[faint yacht]

That was attempted before, actually.

Was my idea, too, but it still gave out nil for some reason.

Though, the usedspectral == nil check sound come right after defining it.

local usedspectral = G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral
if usedspectral == nil then usedspectral = 0 end -- Lock the amount of used spectral cards to 0, not nil

local specbonus = card.ability.extra.chips * usedspectral -- this is either 0 or actual multiplied bonus.
if specbonus == nil then specbonus = 0 end -- Same thing for this, except for the bonus chips

[analog cypress]

That one did work to prevent that error, I'm mainly looking at specbonus

I need to pick up my cat from the vet but I can explain later

[faint yacht]

Still wish we could pass custom sounds through to card_eval_status_text via the effects table.

[wintry solar]

making sure usedspectral is a number will mean specbonus will always be a number though

[bold osprey]

I won't be modding this game anymore.

I give everyone permission to reuse, edit reupload freely any or all of my mods for balatro

They're all made for steamodded 0.9 so you would need to update it to 1.0

https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/infarctus/mods?gameId=6217

[wintry solar]

oh I see the problem, it's a logic error, your return is in the else blocked linked to if context.joker_main, it should be linked to if specbonus == 0 ...

I think you can actually simplify it to this

if context.joker_main and G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total and G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral then
    return {
        card = card,
        chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips * (1 + G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral),
        message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.chips * (1 + G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral) .. ' Chips',
        colour = G.C.CHIPS
      }
end

[faint yacht]

That assumes the default base value is to be given still even if no spectral cards were used.

[wintry solar]

it won't get in the block if no spectral cards are used

if 0 then doesn't pass

[faint yacht]

Right.

[faint yacht]

Hang on, this would be a somewhat simple Lovely patch to pull off on this bit in common_events.lua... no?

sound = extra.edition and 'foil2' or extra.mult_mod and 'multhit1' or extra.Xmult_mod and 'multhit2' or 'generic1'

[wintry solar]

yeah it would

just needs a extra.sound or ... at the start

[faint yacht]

Just being cautious with such things... first it's my overwrite of the SMODS.eval_this function, now this...

[proper relic]

How would I determine whether a card being sold is a joker or not? Is there something similar to context.card.is_joker or something?

[frosty dock]

context.card.ability.set == 'Joker'

[proper relic]

Thank you!

[wicked leaf]

alright, time to get started

[weak depot]

how would i make this retrigger the card that's enhanced? i'm not sure how to do retriggers 😅
code: ```lua
local enhancement = {
name = "Sewn Card",
pos = { x = 2, y = 0 },
loc_txt = {
name = "Sewn Card",
text = {
"{C:green}Retrigger{} once per",
"other {C:enhanced}Sewn Card{}",
"in {C:blue}played{} hand",
"{C:inactive,s:0.8}(Art by {}{C:dark_edition,s:0.9}@ricottakitten{}{C:inactive,s:0.8}){}"

    },
},

config = {retriggers = 0}

}

enhancement.calculate = function(self, card, context, effect)

local other_cards_sewn = -1
for _, card in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
    if card.ability.name == 'Sewn Card' then
        other_cards_sewn = other_cards_sewn + 1
    end
end

if other_cards_sewn > 0 then
    enhancement.config.retriggers = other_cards_sewn
end

end

return enhancement

[teal estuary]

we should be getting a rewrite on enhancement calcs, to make retriggers work 😭

[weak depot]

do retriggers not work on enhancements???

wowie

how would you do it normally?

[teal estuary]

joeshrug~1

[weak depot]

like in a deck or joker

[teal estuary]

when i tried it i needed a lovely patch
-# the lovely patch needs fixing

but just wait a little bit and the fix should be out

[autumn coral]

is there a way to change the gameover state to be false if it's true in calculate?

like prevent it and give +1 hand and +1 discard instead?

i was looking at mr bones and it doesn't exactly do what i had in mind 😅

[elder vapor]

you could check to see if (after scoring) the chips to beat the ante are lower than the current chips then give a hand + discard

[autumn coral]

i was trying context.game_over and context.before

that one made sense to me

oh yk what?

i just thought about something

[proper relic]

Is there a way to have description text only appear if a certain ability is true or not? I want a joker to activate once a couple jokers are sold, but I don't want the description text to stick around once it's active.

[autumn coral]

loc_vars

[proper relic]

Well yeah but like how do I make description text appear or not depending on that

I don't want it to just show a different value with #1# and stuff, I want the line to just not show up at all

[echo summit]

Has anyone made a 52 Pickup Joker before? I had an idea for one but it's a little fuzzy in my brain.

[wicked leaf]

right now

how do I add a SINGLE joker

I'm seeing a lotta modders make a separate Jokers folder

[crisp elbow]

that isn't needed for one joker

or technically at all

[wicked leaf]

Well I mean, I'm gonna add more, I just wanna get to add the first one

[crisp elbow]

honestly it's just half the time for organization purposes

[teal estuary]

SMODS.Joker {
--all joker stuff, im too lazy to write it all out
}```

yeah, all my code is in one file

[wicked leaf]

I see

[wintry solar]

you need 2 entires in the localisation tables, and then you can switch between them in the loc_vars return

[teal estuary]

i might split it up at some point, but its fine

[wicked leaf]

My mod's name is Ludus, my file should be Ludus.lua right

[teal estuary]

it can be whatever you want IIRC, i did name mine after my mod though

[nocturne garnet]

you can name your file whatever ya want

[wicked leaf]

where can I find the joker guide? I can't find it in the steamodded wiki

[teal estuary]

-# there are example jokers in the example mod file, but uhhh

[wicked leaf]

oh okay

[wintry solar]

its in SMODS.Center

[teal estuary]

SMODS.Joker {
key = 'name',
    loc_txt = {
      name = 'Ingame Name',
      text = {
              "A {C:attention}joker{} description",
              "Gives {C:mult}+#1#{} Mult"
-- C:attention gives the text a yellow colour
-- C:mult/C:chips colours the text to the colour of mult or chips
      }
    },
    config = {extra = {x = y}},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
      return {vars = {card.ability.extra.x}
    end,
    -- Sets rarity. 1 common, 2 uncommon, 3 rare, 4 legendary.
    rarity = 1,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    atlas = 'Atlas Name',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    cost = 4,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
end
}```
heres a basic joker outline

[teal estuary]

oh hey, sticker star

[cinder elk]

i had the idea to put all the stickers from that game and turn them into jokers

[wicked leaf]

why not consumables

[cinder elk]

that is fair.

i do wanna make a mod i just have. so many ideas.

and i dont know how to code in lua.-

[wicked leaf]

me neither! so im getting started like right now

[cinder elk]

hmmmm

i do have an example mod

but

it's helpful but also not.-

and looking at the game's code is like looking at moon runes.

[faint yacht]

Steamodded itself brings example mods to peek at.

[cinder elk]

oh

oh it does

[analog cypress]

Alright so it doesn't crash anymore, but there's now a discrepancy with what chips I expect to get vs. what I get. (One spectral card yields 100 chips instead of 50)

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'profren',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Prof. Renderer',
        text = {
            '{C:chips}+#1#{} Chips per {C:blue}Spectral{}',
            'card used this run',
            '{C:grey}(Currently{} {C:chips}+#2#{}{C:grey}){}'
        }
    },
    atlas = "Jokers",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    config = { 
        extra = {
            chips = 50
        }   
    },
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 8,
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return {vars = {center.ability.extra.chips,center.ability.extra.chips * (G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total and G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral or 0)}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_main and G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total and G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral then
            return {
                card = card,
                chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips * (1 + G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral),
                message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.chips * (1 + G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral) .. ' Chips',
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
              }
        end
        if context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable.config.center.set == 'Spectral' then
            return {
                card = card,
                message = 'Upgrade!',
                colour = G.C.ATTENTION
            }
        end
    end
}

[autumn coral]

siiiigh this is gonna suck ass

[gaunt thistle]

the most fun projects always do

[autumn coral]

this is not fun

[faint yacht]

Remove the 1 + within 1 + G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.spectral.

[autumn coral]

this thing i'm doing is so easy

[gaunt thistle]

nevermind

[autumn coral]

i'm so sad rn

[gaunt thistle]

:-(

you got this

just keep trying

[autumn coral]

iunno if i do man, holy mantle sounded a LOT easier in my head

lmfao

[analog cypress]

Success! It still doesn't do the upgrade text like what I wanted but it's working and with no crashes!

[teal estuary]

-# the art looks pwetty

[analog cypress]

Thanks, I drew it myself. Balatro's art style's easy to replicate

[teal estuary]

oh yeah, defintely, its so easy to recreate

thousandcatstare

[proper relic]

I think I'm starting to get it, this is what I've got so far. Two things, is there a way to make the text colored and is there a way to do this where it removes all of the lines #1# and below when active?

  key = "test_joker",
  loc_txt = {
    name = "Test",
    text = {
      "+{C:mult}#2#{} Mult",
      "#1#",
      "{C:inactive}Requires {C:red}#4#{C:inactive} sacrifices and",
      "{C:attention}#3#{C:inactive} empty spaces to activate."
    }
  },
  config = {extra = { mult = 25, max_cost = 2, b_cost = 2, active = false }},
  atlas = "Balscr",
  blueprint_compat = true,
  pos = { x = 12, y = 3 },
  rarity = 1,
  cost = 3,
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    if card.ability.extra.active then
      return {vars = { "Currently {C:green}Active{}", card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.max_cost, card.ability.extra.b_cost}}
    else
      return { vars = { "Currently {C:red}Inactive{}", card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.max_cost, card.ability.extra.b_cost } }
    end
  end,
  calculate = function(self, card, context) 
    if not card.ability.extra.active then
      card.ability.extra.active, card.ability.extra.b_cost = handle_bcost(card.ability.extra.max_cost, card.ability.extra.b_cost, context)
    end

    if card.ability.extra.active then
      if context.joker_main then
        return {
          mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
          message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
        }
      end
    end
  end
}```

[analog cypress]

The one time you get rewarded for using Sixth Sense + DNA with my joker

[faint yacht]

Did you try moving if context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable.config.center.set == 'Spectral' then part above? Though weird how context.consumeable.config.center.set may not be doing it..?

[analog cypress]

I don't think I touched it since I added it in. It's been at the bottom of the calculate function for a while

[faint yacht]

Whilst using Spectral card, print(context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable and context.consumeable.config.center.set) did print Spectral... may need to play around with the condition checking.

[obsidian fjord]

Is there any way to modify the texture of a card that I've taken ownership of? I want to change the texture of a card when an edition is applied to it but I know nothing about writing shaders so I can't properly achieve the effect I want with them.

[autumn coral]

i made it work btw

is there a way to make your hands set to 1 and discards set to 1 on a deck?

like on the apply function or somethign?

OH

nevermind

[wicked leaf]

trying to make it so at the end of the round one of the numbers on the card goes down by 1

[autumn coral]

oh my god i'm so stupuid

[cinder elk]

ooh, okay

we're getting somewhere

now why does it say "nil"

hmmm

[teal estuary]

show your config and loc_vars raisedcateyebrow~2

[cinder elk]

config = { extra = { chips = 50 } },
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }

so if i change mult to chips

that might fix it...

[elder vapor]

yes

name sure to close the loc_vars function

[cinder elk]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips } }
end,

[teal estuary]

looks good

[elder vapor]

yeah looks good

[cinder elk]

still says nil

hmm

[obsidian fjord]

Did you create a new joker in game or use the same one from the same run? I ran into that issue a few days ago.

[cinder elk]

basically what i did was alter the example joker

[obsidian fjord]

Sorry I worded that badly, when you reload the game, do you continue the run or make a new run and get the joker again?

[elder vapor]

what does your code look like

[faint yacht]

#1#.

[cinder elk]

is

is that the issue

[faint yacht]

Yeah.

[obsidian fjord]

Ohh I didn't see that, yeah the number between the # references the variable in loc_vars

[faint yacht]

#X# is the number entry for the returned value from loc_vars.

[cinder elk]

HOT DAMN

[faint yacht]

So if you return 5 values from that function, you can go up to #5#.

[cinder elk]

now with debugplus

how do i spawn one in my run

[teal estuary]

3

hover over it in collection

and press 3

[faint yacht]

May need to hold CTRL as well in the recent updates.

[obsidian fjord]

Nah I installed it a few days ago, you just gotta hit 3 while hovering it

[cinder elk]

hm

[faint yacht]

You're not return-ing the right stuff.

[cinder elk]

you seem important.

let me change it to chips

[faint yacht]

chip_mod for adding Chips, it should be equal to the value you want to be added.

In your case, it'd be chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips.

[obsidian fjord]

Also?

[teal estuary]

mult_mod for mult, and Xmult_mod for xmult

[cinder elk]

hmmm

[teal estuary]

and repetitions for.. repe

GOODLORDWHATISHAPPENINGINTHERE~1

show your entire return table

[faint yacht]

Message may not be set up right.

[teal estuary]

might be

[faint yacht]

return {
  message = localize({ type = "variable", key = "a_chips", vars = { card.ability.extra.chips } })
  chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips,
  colour = G.C.CHIPS
}

[teal estuary]

y'never know

[cinder elk]

oh i just noticed this

message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }

[teal estuary]

😭

[cinder elk]

listen

listen .

i might be stupid.

[teal estuary]

we all are

[cinder elk]

maybe i should save mod dev for the. pros. i wanna make my own stuff but i dunno if someone would be willing to help

[wicked leaf]

that should prolly do it

[teal estuary]

i'd be more then willing to help

i dont know everything but i can help

[cinder elk]

oh; sweet

i should probably organize my thoughts before i do anything tbf

what would be easier

an entire pack of new jokers or an entire pack of consumables

[teal estuary]

jokers.

[cinder elk]

noted

i'll start with that

[wicked leaf]

all I gotta do now is either 1. be responsible and make it dissapear once it goes to 0, or 2. leave it as is so it can go to negative values (evil choice)

[sleek badge]

What mod is this to be?

I wish to try it once a release is made

[cinder elk]

Packs vs Zomblinds!

[sleek badge]

Thank you

[cinder elk]

adds the entire pvz1 almanac roster as cards

[sleek badge]

Ooh

Yea don’t do pvz2

[cinder elk]

oh no yeah.

im not stupid.

not

entirely.

i wouldnt mind seeing people make expansion packs though 👀

[sleek badge]

lol i would if i could mod

or code

[obsidian fjord]

This shader mess is making me question whether I can code

[cinder elk]

IF ANYTHING
this is just a concept; i still wanna find a cool idea for a themed mod; i'm open to suggestions

[fading fox]

Shaders are evil wizard shit no matter the language used

[obsidian fjord]

Oh I know but normally I can read something and get a general sense of what's going on, nope not with this nightmare

[scenic sphinx]

okay so question yall
i want to make my joker 2 effects

1. get +7 mult whenever you use a consumable
2. have a 1/10 to double his mult instead how would i do that

[cinder elk]

im surprised no-one's made a mod that adds jokers based on boss blinds

[teal estuary]

green needle /s

[scenic sphinx]

reduces hands to 1 gives +200 chips

[cinder elk]

FUCK I THOUGHT I WAS BEING CLEVER

[scenic sphinx]

its something with 1 hand

[teal estuary]

sounds easy enough to do? i cant give the exact code, but

if [consumable being used] then
card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + 7
end
if psuedorandom('hdundndnd')[odds check] and not context.repetition and context.repetition_only then
card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult * 2
end

[put the card_eval_status_messages here]
[put the mult_mod return here]

[scenic sphinx]

thank you that helps enough

[teal estuary]

i know its very abstracted, but you get the point

[scenic sphinx]

yeah

[teal estuary]

im glad to help :]

[scenic sphinx]

its like my first joker so thanks for the help

[teal estuary]

i can give you an example of card_eval_status_messages if you'd like

[scenic sphinx]

i have that i think

[teal estuary]

-# you also be better to put them inside each if statement, not as their own thing

[teal estuary]

cool, cool

[scenic sphinx]

yeah anyways time to read the steamodded wiki to find the consumable thingy

[teal estuary]

Fear

good luck

[scenic sphinx]

ill need it lol

[scenic sphinx]

i think i got the first part?

[teal estuary]

seems good? im not sure of a way to see if a consumable has been used, i presume there is one though (maybe tarot joker is a place to look?)

[scenic sphinx]

wait nvm thats when a consumable removes a card

[scenic sphinx]

alrighty lemme look trough the game files lmao

[frosty dock]

uh that's not valid syntax haha

[teal estuary]

-# the [] are just meant to be a [insert thing here], do take the [] out :]

[obsidian fjord]

Is there a way to remove the shader from a sticker?

[zealous glen]

First attempt at a shader and edition. It's just meant to run and not to look good. I need to figure out a good pipeline for working on shaders and seeing what they look like still.

[frosty dock]

-# i could get behind that if it saved space

[teal estuary]

-# mimimimmim

that brings up a question, are shaders usable on enhancements? i have an idea for an enhancement but i have no idea what to make it look like but "half of card is negative"

[zealous glen]

I think you'd need to patch the function that renders the center but yes

I also want to make an Enhancement that uses a shader

[teal estuary]

☹️

[scenic sphinx]

i think this is what i need for the first part

[placid frigate]

What deck of cards are these

[faint yacht]

...how do I make a card wiggle like Trading Card, except for last discard? This only makes it wiggle once and right as the discard occurs.

if G.GAME.current_round.discards_left == 1 and not context.blueprint then
  local eval = function() return G.GAME.current_round.discards_left == 1 and not G.RESET_JIGGLES end
  juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
end

are you doing that in context.discard? you need to activate it after the discard that happens when there's 2 discards left then

[faint yacht]

Outside, actually.

[scenic sphinx]

i think i got it not sure

[wooden nexus]

What do you use for Shaders?

[obsidian fjord]

How does info_queue work? I'm trying to add a tooltip for a custom sticker and I can't seem to get it.

[zealous glen]

What do you mean

[wooden nexus]

what did you do to make the shader?

[zealous glen]

I wrote it

I used the fluoride(?) shader from Steamodded as a reference, with some functions taken from vanilla

[wooden nexus]

i see

[zealous glen]

and the specific calculation is one used by Bunco, just rewritten in the shader language

[scenic sphinx]

im so confused rn

[teal estuary]

isnt it pseudorandom raisedcateyebrow~2

[scenic sphinx]

omfg im dumb

[shy gorge]

is this the channel where i can get help with mods 😭

[autumn coral]

No

Well making them

Yes

Mods in general? No

#⚙・modding-general

[shy gorge]

just like installing

ok thank you

[autumn coral]

Yeah modding chat

Np!

[scenic sphinx]

okay now tf is this issue

[faint yacht]

Why are you using self.using_consumable? Do you have a config part in your joker with { extra = { mult = 1 } }?

[scenic sphinx]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if self.using_consumeable then
card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + 7
end

  if pseudorandom('dyonisus') and G.GAME.probabilities.normal and not context.repetition and context.repetition_only then
      card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult * 2
  end

  if context.joker_main then
      return {
          message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } },
          colour = G.C.mult,
          mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
      }
  end

like thats what it does

[storm oar]

tip, when posting code do this:
```lua
[code here]
```

[obsidian fjord]

Any way to remove the abilities of a joker when a sticker is applied to it? Sorta like debuffing but I need the sticker to stay active

[scenic sphinx]

i didnt put it between my config i think oops

[cold peak]

There's the perma_debuff tag that the one challenge uses, but I'm not sure if it applies outside of that challenge

[scenic sphinx]

nvm didnt need it i think

[obsidian fjord]

Oh nevermind I can just take_ownership and make calculate an empty function

[zealous glen]

What's the difference between tex and uv?

[violet void]

is this too strong as a common

[faint yacht]

Uncommon, maybe.

[merry raven]

calculate = function(self, card, context, effect)
        if context.cardarea == G.play then
            local left_card, right_card
            for i, playedCard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if playedCard == card then
                    left_card = context.scoring_hand[i-1]
                    right_card = context.scoring_hand[i+1]
                    break
                end
            end
            local card_count = 1
            local highest_rank = card:get_id()
           
            if left_card then
                card_count = card_count + 1
                highest_rank = math.max(highest_rank, left_card:get_id())
            end
            if right_card then
                card_count = card_count + 1
                highest_rank = math.max(highest_rank, right_card:get_id())
            end
            if card_count > 1 then
                effect.chips = highest_rank * card_count
            end
        end
    end

Trying my hand at making my custom enhancement called a Tangle (if there are adjacent cards to the Tangle, then the Tangle card will score the number of chips as the number of cards + itself with the highest level), unfortunately it's not triggering, so there are some things I'm missing:

• Is the played card check properly implemented?
• Is the chip calculation properly implemented?
• Is math.max the way to go for detecting the highest level of a card?

[violet void]

mmm I guess so, wild cards are easy to come by

[scenic sphinx]

  key = 'Mythos',
  loc_txt = {
      name = 'Dyonisus',
      text = {
          "{C:mult}+#1#{} mult",
      }
  },
  rarity = 1,
  atlas = 'Mythos',
  pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
  cost = 4,
  eternal_compat = true,
  blueprint_compat = true,
  brainstorm_compat = true,
  using_consumeable = true,
  
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
      if using_consumeable then
          card.ability.mult = card.ability.mult + 7
      end
      
      if pseudorandom('dyonisus') and G.GAME.probabilities.normal and not context.repetition and context.repetition_only then
          card.ability.mult = card.ability.mult * 2
      end

      if context.joker_main then
          return {
              message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.mult } },
              colour = G.C.mult,
              consumeable = card,
              mult_mod = card.ability.mult
          }
      end
  end

}

i feel that im so close yet so far

ik the text aint right thats for later

[zenith plover]

Bit late too reply, but it was not my screenshot, was just wondering what had changed since last version since i downloaded it

[proper relic]

How do I have a joker create a specific other joker?

I found this elsewhere in the code and it does make a joker but I can't figure out how to get it to make a specific one.

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.4, func = function()
          play_sound('timpani')
          local card = create_card('Joker', G.jokers, nil, 0, nil, nil, nil, nil)
          card:add_to_deck()
          G.jokers:emplace(card)
          return true end }))

[faint yacht]

create_card('Joker', G.jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'insertkeyofjokerhere', 'rngseed')

[merry raven]

Which lua file in Balatro's source code can I find the list of all contexts?

[storm oar]

okay i was being dumb, apparently the way i was doing a while loop froze the game

so cool, i now have a voucher which gives a "reincarnation" effect that if you lose a run, you can restart with a new seed and keep some of the same cards at the start

[scenic sphinx]

edens blessing?

[storm oar]

well it isnt fully random cards, it's randomly selected from the cards at the end of the previous run, and i plan to have them have an effect applied to the cards as well as a special joker granted from the voucher effect being used

question though just for some visual flair for it:
is there a way I can make the voucher appear on screen after the new run starts, dissolving, and turning into the joker that is added?

[carmine burrow]

i was messing around w/ modding and managed to get this effect working, but it required changing a bunch of things about how hands are calculated & how context is handled. could something like this be achieved using steammodded?

(my guess is that it wouldn't be, but maybe i could change the effect to something like "swap played cards and cards in hand before and after scoring"?)

[faint yacht]

Some things will require Lovely patching, truly.

[carmine burrow]

there was also this one (not quite sure about this effect game-design-wise lmao) which i implemented by passing an extra field in context for end-of-hand calculations

[faint yacht]

Definitely -sy that Joker is.

And now I need opinion on this being a Legendary or Rare. Unless I can make a custom rarity that's not complicated.

[carmine burrow]

what does '-sy' mean ?

[sonic bone]

totally rare

[faint yacht]

Handsy. You'd need to use up quite a few hands to perform such consecutive levellings.

[carmine burrow]

probably

[carmine burrow]

i tried making a challenge where you start w/ a negative eternal copy of this joker & it destroys a random joker every time it gets reset ... don't think i ever won

it's really easy to accidentally get like 20,000 points in ante 3 and reset it

[zealous glen]

@wintry solar How could I make a regular, repeated tiling edition shader? I've been trying for hours, starting from the flipped shader in the example mods but I couldn't figure it out.

[wintry solar]

🤷‍♂️

[zealous glen]

I found tutorials for non-regular shaders, but they're complicated enough I'm not sure how to reverse engineer a regular shader from them

[zealous glen]

@wintry solar Do you know this at least?

I thought I could use the screen coordinates modulo the image size to choose the part of the atlas I want to draw

[wintry solar]

I don’t remember, I haven’t touched shaders for months

[zealous glen]

v_v

[carmine burrow]

i don't know about the specific shader language balatro uses but i'd guess tex is the texture color at the pixel and uv is some sort of 2d coordinate (i'd guess it's (0,0) for the top left of a rect and (1,1) for the bottom right?)

[wintry solar]

^ this sounds correct

[zealous glen]

I guess I want to know what's the difference between the texture and the sprite

I thought one was the image and the other the in-game object

Because I think the tiling shader will require computing tex at new coordinates, especially since that's what the flip shader does

And it needs some component that depends on the screen position

[scenic sphinx]

yall ive been looking and idk why it doesnt work like why doesnt the mult get added to it like i just dont get it

[teal estuary]

show off the code raisedcateyebrow~2

[teal estuary]

...wheres your config

raisedcateyebrow~2

[scenic sphinx]

config?
the test joker i made a bit ago didnt need one?

[carmine burrow]

what's using_consumable

[zealous glen]

Your Joker wants to remember a changing value so it needs to store that somewhere

[teal estuary]

did the joker give chips, mult, money or retriggers? raisedcateyebrow~2

yeah

you need to define a config for.. any of that

[zealous glen]

Doing any of those individually doesn't matter, but needing to update the value does

Although it is generally good practice to use a config even if you don't need one

[carmine burrow]

oh using_consumable is a field in context i guess

[scenic sphinx]

i think it gave a flat amount of chips

[zealous glen]

Well, only if you actually have something to put into it

[carmine burrow]

looks like it's actually "using_consumeable"

[zealous glen]

If the logic is elsewhere then it doesn't need a config

[carmine burrow]

in that case i think in the calculate function you'd want to replace if using_consumable then with if context.using_consumeable then

[teal estuary]

config = {extra = {mult = 0 },

-# you'll also need to replace any card.ability.mult with card.ability.extra.mult

[scenic sphinx]

okay so it ended up having one i was just blind lmao

[scenic sphinx]

how so?

[teal estuary]

put it anywhere next to your rarity or cost

heres an example, you also need loc_vars for the description

[carmine burrow]

is putting everything in extra incl. +mult generally considered good practice for modding? seems like that isn't done in the base game

[teal estuary]

i'd say so, yeah

base game does it differently, so

[carmine burrow]

does the same apply for xmult? it looked like not only was just using ability.x_mult standard, xmult from ability.x_mult was applied automatically

maybe i misread the code..

[scenic sphinx]

so this should work?

[teal estuary]

looks good, but make sure your config contains the same thing as your .extra.x

[scenic sphinx]

wdym?

[carmine burrow]

i think config shouldn't say extra = { Xmult = 0 } but instead extra = { mult = 0 }

also iirc it would be good to replace the magic numbers 7 and 2 for scaling w/ other fields in extra ?

as in

config = {
  extra = {
    mult = 0,
    consumeable_mult = 7,
    random_mult = 2
  }
}
``` and then replace `7` and `2` w/ `self.ability.extra.consumeable_mult` and `self.ability.extra.random_mult` respectively

the random code also looks a little bit off... not quite sure though

instead of pseudorandom('dyonisus') and G.GAME.probablities.normal it should be pseudorandom('dyonisus') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / [some number goes here]

how likely do you want the double mult to be?

[scenic sphinx]

like 1/5

wait this i got

like this?

[carmine burrow]

almost -- i think random_chance inside calculate should be self.ability.extra.random_chance

also: since the random chance thing doesn't check for context first (aside from checking for blueprint & repetition) it seems like it'd have a chance of doubling every time literally anything happens

when do you want the random chance to trigger?

[scenic sphinx]

instead of the +7

[carmine burrow]

i.e. when using a consumable?

maybe move the if pseudorandom(...) inside if using_consumeable in that case

[scenic sphinx]

yes

like this or am i stupid

wait bc there is if is there also an else?

[carmine burrow]

more like

if using_consumeable then
  if pseudorandom("dyonisus") < [...] then
    card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult * self.ability.extra.random_mult
  end
  card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + self.ability.extra.consumeable_mult
end
```i think

if you don't want the +7 to trigger when the x2 triggers, you can do

if using_consumable then
  if [...] then
    -- *2 thing
  else
    -- +7 thing
  end
end

[scenic sphinx]

yeah imma do it in the second way

makes my brain remember easier bc c#

[storm oar]

should i make it so that if a run isn't a seeded run it still uses the same seed on restarting with the afterlife effect or should i have it randomize the seed again?

[carmine burrow]

afterlife ?

[storm oar]

I'm making a mod that adds vouchers that upon losing a run, it gives you a second chance, restarting the run with extra effects

the one i have partially functioning now picks random cards from the deck you lost with and replaces random cards in the new deck

and, I'm planning for each to have associated joker cards only accessible within the afterlife runs

[carmine burrow]

i'm not sure from a balance standpoint but i think it could be cool to have a second chance on the same seed (main problem is that it might encourage people to obsessively take notes on exactly what shows up in every shop etc. which might be tedious)

[storm oar]

one thing that'll help balance-wise is the afterlife vouchers won't show up if you've used one so you dont get to just keep restarting

possibly i could do something where it uses a new seed for most things, but the boss blinds use the original seed, if that's somehow possible

[scenic sphinx]

i dont get the error sorry that im asking so many questions

[storm oar]

the newline is breaking it i think

or, maybe some weird stuff with the conditions needing parentheses or something

[gilded narwhal]

Hey gang I'm not actually home rn because of vacation but for when I get back, is it hard to add an extra menu or something to Run Info?

[scenic sphinx]

now this is the issue

[storm oar]

what's the code look like currently?

[storm oar]

instead of sending screenshots, should send it as code blocks, it'll help.

just use
```lua
(code here)

[hardy viper]

https://luals.github.io/

[scenic sphinx]

    extra = {
      mult = 0,
      consumeable_mult = 7,

    else
         (using_consumeable then
        card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + self.ability.extra.consumeable_mult)

              colour = G.C.mult,
              consumeable = card,
              mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult
          }
      end
  end

[hardy viper]

yea we don't have this unfortunately

[storm oar]

there's more to that

its just bad syntax in general

the if pseudorandom, remove the opening parentheses there, as well as the newline, and remove the closing parentheses after random_mult

for using_consumable, remove the parentheses and make it either "else if using_consumable" or add an if before the using_consumable on the new line and add another end

[sturdy compass]

Heya, I’m new here and I’m interested in starting to mod the game. I have a fair bit of coding knowledge but have no clue where to actually start (getting set up, organization, what loader to use, etc.) Are there any resources that can point me in the right direction?

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki follow the install instructions here to get Steamodded and theres example mods to look at included

[scenic sphinx]

now thats the issue again

[storm oar]

which line is line 48

[scenic sphinx]

if using consumable

[sturdy compass]

Thank you!

[storm oar]

remove the parentheses for that. also, since the if is on a new line you need to add another end to it

[faint yacht]

if context.using_consumeable

[storm oar]

ah that i didnt know

[hardy viper]

well yeah

of course

[edgy reef]

...Is there not a way to declare Steamodded a source or library in VSCode or something?

[scenic sphinx]

wdym with the double if btw?

[storm oar]

not double if, but as an example

if thing then
  do_thing()
else if other_thing then
  do_other_thing()
end

vs

if thing then
  do_thing()
else
  if other_thing then
    do_other_thing()

ohhh

alright

}```

64 is last line you can see

honestly idk whats wrong

[faint yacht]

...are you defining using_consumeable = true, as part of Joker?

[scenic sphinx]

i think so i have no idea what im doing

[carmine burrow]

using_consumeable is a field in context, so i think you'd want to replace using_consumeable in the calculate function w/ context.using_consumeable & then remove the using_consumeable = ... part

[proper relic]

Is there a way to make a joker that doesn't randomly show up in shops? I wanna have it obtainable through other means.

[carmine burrow]

i think you'd have a few options:

• using a no_shop_flag that's always present or a yes_shop_flag that doesn't exist
• defining a new rarity w/ weight 0
  maybe a few other things?

[scenic sphinx]

yeah that still isnt the issue lol but yeah changed it

[proper relic]

Weight zero might work if I can figure out how to get rarities working, I tried yesterday and I kept crashing lol

[placid frigate]

Are there other decks like this and if so, where can I download these?

[proper relic]

Especially if I just make it visually the same as Rare

[carmine burrow]

the error message looks like a syntax error but it's hard to tell where exactly the error would be without seeing the full lua file ... is the codeblock you sent the full file?

[scenic sphinx]

lemme sent that rq

[carmine burrow]

why do you want the joker to appear as Rare? is it supposed to show up using things like the "create a rare joker" spectral card and the tag that makes the shop have a rare joker?

yup for some reason that worked

``` i.e. the things inside `else if` are inside two nested blocks, which means that you need 2 `end`s to close both nested `if` statements

on the other hand, when you use `elseif`, it's interpreted as

if a then
...
elseif b then
...
``` in which case you only need 1 end to close the block

when you used else if, there weren't enough ends to close all the nested blocks including the function, causing a bunch of errors

i love lua but it's really really weird syntactically imo

[scenic sphinx]

and now i get this just why

[carmine burrow]

for that one i think you need to replace random_chance inside calculate w/ self.ability.extra.random_chance

[elder vapor]

^^

[carmine burrow]

i'd also replace the code before if context.joker_main with this:

if context.using_consumeable then
  if pseudorandom('dyonisus') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / random_chance and not context.repetition and context.repetition_only then
    card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult * self.ability.extra.random_mult
  else
    card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + self.ability.extra.consumeable_mult
  end
end

the current code does the following every time something happens in-game:

• if the 1 in 5 roll succeeds, multiply this joker's +mult by 2
• otherwise, if we're using a consumeable, add 7 to this joker's +mult

which means the 1 in 5 roll is going to trigger like 70 times every round... i think

[scenic sphinx]

yeah thats prob the reason the game crashed lmao

[carmine burrow]

also, i'm not quite clear on how context.repetition and context.repetition_only work but i think you'd want to replace not context.repetition and context.repetition_only w/ not context.repetition and not context.repetition_only

[storm oar]

does in_pool work for jokers? cause if so that would probably be the easiest way

[faint yacht]

Yes.

[carmine burrow]

i've never heard of that! if that's in the api then that's definitely the way to go

[scenic sphinx]

alr let see if it works

attempt like 35

[faint yacht]

true allows it to naturally appear. false does not.

in_pool = function()
  return #SMODS.find_card('j_joker', true) > 0
end

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

honestly idk anymore it keeps on breaking every time and im screaming internally so much rn holy shit

[faint yacht]

Missing and after if pseudorandom('dyonisus') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / self.ability.extra.random_chance.

[storm oar]

also will this work how i expect or no:

joker is locked, if the joker is locked then voucher appears in shop as a generic voucher with a generic description, when the afterlife effect from the voucher is used, it unlocks and discovers the joker since it adds it in the new run, and the voucher will have the proper name, description, and sprite the next time it shows up?

like if i have a check for the joker being unlocked setting it to the proper description and name

[carmine burrow]

small question why is it SMODS.find_card? i'm like just getting started w/ steamodded

[scenic sphinx]

im gonna cry like my code doesnt work and after this i gotta figure out the text on the card like why is this so difficult

[carmine burrow]

it says that the error occurred on line 45 of Mythos.lua (line 2 of error message [SMODS Mythos "Mythos.lua"]:45). does your text editor/ide/whatever show line numbers?

if so, what's the text of line 45?

if not, line numbers can be really useful for debugging since error messages will usually tell you roughly where the error is

[scenic sphinx]

its like this part

easiest way to show it with the numbers

[carmine burrow]

oh ... maybe replace self.ability..... with card.ability....? looks like that's what the example jokers do

my bad

[scenic sphinx]

welp

then thats the issue again

honestly imma just sleep

its almost 6:30 in the morning

[carmine burrow]

sounds reasonable

[storm oar]

how complicated would it be to make a kind of "aura" visual effect for cards that can show no matter if the card is face up or face down?

[runic sinew]

Ad idea I'd like to offer, and something that can be implemented in the external loader; instead of storing mod files, there could optionally be a list file of GitHub URL's. That way, the loader fetches the repo files and have them stored in memory before the game fully loads. The file loading is still there in case of user-made mods or tweaked mods.

[storm oar]

no, it's best to have the files locally

cause what if no internet?

then you can't load mods that aren't stored locally

[edgy reef]

The larger problem is that lovely will not work if the mods don't exist until after the game is launched.

[runic sinew]

Right now, I find the concept of manually updating mods to be a royal pain, especially when a given download has breaking changes

[true jasper]

How would I make cards flip like tarots make cards flip when used?
when i use my consumable on it

[runic sinew]

"Oh, a mod is out of date"
Uh... which one?

Also, having the mods start on RAM instead of disk has the potential of reducing the start-up delay a good bit

[storm oar]

okay, well yeah have a list of github repos but, instead download the files proper and it can detect changes to the repo

[edgy reef]

Actually this whole idea might just fail because lovely wouldn't work with mods in memory instead of disk.

But I don't think this has been tested (or maybe just basic computer illiteracy from me).

Ehh if it's a problem and this is a good solution I'd imagine that Lovely can just change to work with this

xdd

[storm oar]

well, at least if thats a possible option, then at least save the files locally too as a backup incase of not having internet

[runic sinew]

With this idea, offline should not be affected

This is not about replacing what worked

Rather, it is about adding another option for a wider use case

[storm oar]

okay but, should people decide to use that, save the files locally as a backup option

because otherwise yes, it will affect offline play, if the files arent saved locally it won't be able to load mods from a github repo if it cant access the github repo

[runic sinew]

Well, in that case, have the download on to storage be done in the background as the game is running.

I want to add a custom sound to play when this custom Enhancement card is scored, but I'm not sure where to put the audio cue

[runic sinew]

It needs to be handled git-style, as otherwise the drive will be hit by excessive write cycles

[tribal ocean]

Are there any mods that modify already existing jokers? I'm doing a patch mod for the game and would like to see one of those mods so I can learn how to code joker rebalancing

[merry raven]

I need some help here

Stack Traceback
===============
(1) Lua local 'handler' at file 'main.lua:612'
        Local variables:
         msg = string: "card.lua:4971: attempt to index local 'obj' (a nil value)"

Got this error after trying to add a sound file to play.

SMODS.Sound({
    vol = 0.6,
    pitch = 1,
    key = "tangle",
    path = "tangle.ogg",

            end
            effect.chips = highest_rank * card_count
...

Not sure where the error is pointing to at all, I need some insights here. My prefix is bfm
card.lua in the source code doesn't even go to 4971

[faint yacht]

And without the sound, it works just fine?

[stray warren]

card.lua in the source code doesn't even go to 4971

It does if you check the dump file card.lua in your lovely folder in Mods/lovely/dump/card.lua, which is the state that file is in after Steamodded gets patched to it

[storm oar]

oh i didnt know that existed, good to know for the future

[storm oar]

for my mod having a way of cards carrying over to the next run, is replacing cards directly in G.playing_cards with randomly selected cards from the previous run's G.playing_cards safe to do?

or could that potentially cause issues somewhere?

[tribal ocean]

Alright, here goes

Now time to figure out how to actually do this

[crisp coral]

steamodded 0.9.7 😭

[wintry solar]

{T:v_overstock} in your deck description text

[storm oar]

id recommend grabbing the latest steamodded by downloading the source for the github repo

[tribal ocean]

I did, I just forgot to put it in lol

[merry raven]

Yeah, after I removed the SMODS.Sound function, the sound = 'tangle' line, and the entire if case with the play_sound, it works fine

I initially assumed that if I remove the sound = 'tangle' line (which I thought worked like the atlas) it would fix the problem, but nope, I would need to remove any and all implementation of a custom sound for it to work again

[wicked leaf]

something's wrong

[merry raven]

Did you update your steamodded

[wicked leaf]

I did I did

all my other mods work so its something with the json file

something is VERY wrong with my mod

clearly I didnt set it up correctly

[frosty dock]

change the dep to Steamodded (>=1.*~)

[wicked leaf]

the mod file only has an atlas and two jokers, how bad can this be

[frosty dock]

show json file and file structure

[wicked leaf]

thank you

oh wait, I see a lil problem rq

nvm

[frosty dock]

🤔

it failed to load your main file for some reason

[wicked leaf]

this is my main file

[tall wharf]

😭

the failed to collect hits me again

    SMODS.Atlas {key = 'collab_WF_1', path = "textures/collabs/collab_WF_1.png",atlas_table = 'ASSET_ATLAS',prefix_config = { key = false },px=71,py=95}

[wicked leaf]

so same my friend

[tall wharf]

😭

what did i do wrong

[wicked leaf]

no yeah same

[crisp coral]

your path shouldn't have the outer textures folder

and the path (in code) should just be collab_WF_1.png

[wicked leaf]

idk what im doing wrong either

[crisp coral]

er. collabs/file.png in this case

[frosty dock]

your file path here is jokers/ludusjokers.png

[wicked leaf]

oooh

[tall wharf]

ok that worked wow thanks

[crisp coral]

hatsune miku...........

[tall wharf]

true....

[wicked leaf]

okay what now

I changed the path

[frosty dock]

oh

your folders are x1 and x2

[wicked leaf]

yeah, don't I need both?

[frosty dock]

yeah but those are the wrong names

it's spsed to be 1x and 2x

[wicked leaf]

man.

ok, lets see if this works now

[frosty dock]

that's in the docs right

98%

[wicked leaf]

aye there we go

[tall wharf]

also just wondering how do 2x textures help with pixel smoothing

is it purely because bigger image scales up smoother

[frosty dock]

https://tenor.com/view/we-dont-know-dont-know-bird-clueless-gif-12587825

[nocturne garnet]

possibly favorite jokers to make

[crisp coral]

Jimbo's Pack's joker copy abilities when they see LobotomyCorp jokers

[nocturne garnet]

show....

[crisp coral]

as in, i suspect it's gonna crash a lot

[nocturne garnet]

i wanna try out the lobotomycorp mod

but i also dont wanna spoil myself 😭

i have lobotomycorp and i never play it but i wanna finish it one day

but the lobotomycorp mod just seems too good

[wicked leaf]

almost working

the second guy's texture isnt working for some reason

it should, but its not

[tall wharf]

nice value proposition

[wicked leaf]

I said ALMOST

[wicked leaf]

anyway, any reasons why this guy isn't appearing properly

[tall wharf]

actually hold up i got an idea just from that

[tall wharf]

is that copper shortsword

[wicked leaf]

x = 1, y = 1 should be the second one of the second column right

idk why it no worky

[wicked leaf]

yeah

[tall wharf]

also i think in lua index starts at 1

[frosty dock]

for atlas positions, it starts at 0

[tall wharf]

ah

[wicked leaf]

I have zero clue what the problem is

[storm oar]

its not even pulling from the atlas, it's using a default image

[wicked leaf]

the first one works,

the second one doesnt

[storm oar]

hm

wait

check the brackets.

[wicked leaf]

well I HAVE noticed the brackets are blue

it is most likely related to that

[frosty dock]

can I see the full joker def?

[storm oar]

yeah there's another layer of brackets there

did you accidentally put it in the text thing?

[storm oar]

config isn't closed

[wicked leaf]

ah

[frosty dock]

yeah that's in your config

[wicked leaf]

ere we go

[storm oar]

yeah theres a closed bracket at the bottom where it should be after config

[wicked leaf]

new problem

seems like it has lost waaay more than 3

its also not giving the payout

[frosty dock]

context.end_of_round ahh jank

see how golden joker does it

Also probably self-destruct the joker when it goes below zero

[wicked leaf]

tbh it would be really funny if you forgot to sell it and it took money from you

but that clearly isnt working so

[nocturne garnet]

dont use context.end_of_round for money stuff

[nocturne garnet]

use calc_dollar_bonus function

you could just

remove the money in the calc dollar bonus

[wicked leaf]

good point

[frosty dock]

just remove the calculate and reduce the value in calc dollar bonus

end_of_round with no additional checks happens a bunch of times

e.g. for each card in hand

Also you're explicitly only returning the bonus if it's positive, no wonder it's not working when it's negative

[wicked leaf]

yeah I noticed that part

[wicked leaf]

eternal sticker ooo

aye, its workin now

[tall wharf]

redrawing miku 😭

someone take aseprite away from me

[night pagoda]

I wonder how the second one would work with bunco's hindered sticker

[nocturne garnet]

does it also delay the triggers for selling cards

or is it just delaying the destruction

[night pagoda]

upon selling the joker the joker is technically sold (gives selling reward and loses sell value), but stays until the next round and only then gets destroyed

so I wonder if it will make a synergy by basically cloning the sold joker for one round
